it’s hot and everyone is chewing
This week, chaos reigns and sweat is abundant. Travis and Emma kick off with a pregnancy update that includes mango-sized milestones, nasal congestion, and a deeply personal couch groove. Emma’s car still isn’t fixed, which means you’ll be hearing about that for weeks. Meanwhile, Travis accidentally signs up for umbilical cord storage emails and regrets everything. The besties dive headfirst into Republicans fighting with AI robots on Twitter (excuse us, X), Elon Musk’s imaginary America Party, and what it means to be “woke” in the year of our Lord 2025. Spoiler: they are not impressed.
Also in this week's reality roundup:
- The long-awaited return of Ladies of London
- A piping hot recap of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives episodes 9 and 10, featuring: beignet diplomacy, the worst baby announcement timing in history, and one last final roast of Demi, who should never be allowed to cry on camera again
- Why Jessi and Mayci are the undisputed queens of the season

00:00:17.429 --> 00:00:20.670
Travis. I'm Emma. This is the second episode
00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:28.010
we've recorded today. Yay! Bestie approved! So...
00:00:28.010 --> 00:00:32.710
We don't have nearly as much in this episode
00:00:32.710 --> 00:00:36.609
as we did the last episode, so... We should be
00:00:36.609 --> 00:00:38.850
able to get through it. We'll power through.
00:00:38.969 --> 00:00:41.689
We'll do it. We'll make it happen. Obviously,
00:00:41.869 --> 00:00:44.149
Emma doesn't have a pregnancy update from right
00:00:44.149 --> 00:00:47.640
now, but... Emma's traveling to Louisiana next
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.439
week, and I am going to edit in her pregnancy
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:57.380
update next week. So... Here that is. Hey, guys.
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.820
I didn't make it to Louisiana because they still
00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:05.040
can't fix my car. Don't worry. I'll be complaining
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:10.680
about it for weeks and weeks to come. But baby
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:16.290
is the size of a mango. hey and uh doing great
00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:19.989
kind of low energy and like i'm really stuffed
00:01:19.989 --> 00:01:23.689
up which is a pregnant thing um but other than
00:01:23.689 --> 00:01:28.189
that doing wonderfully there's a spot on my couch
00:01:28.189 --> 00:01:30.909
i sit in so frequently it's starting to creak
00:01:30.909 --> 00:01:35.530
but we're just ignoring that um yeah but in other
00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:43.189
baby news my cousin is having her baby It's kind
00:01:43.189 --> 00:01:45.810
of good I didn't make it to Louisiana. Anyway,
00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:49.290
see you next week. Well, what a great pregnancy
00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:51.489
update that was. I'm so happy that we did that.
00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:54.049
Things are going great. Your baby is the size
00:01:54.049 --> 00:01:59.269
of an object. A mango. A mango, yes. We do know
00:01:59.269 --> 00:02:01.530
that it will be the size of a mango. Yeah, I
00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:05.030
cheat in my app and look all the time. Speaking
00:02:05.030 --> 00:02:07.930
of that app, you know I downloaded that app just
00:02:07.930 --> 00:02:10.389
to see where your pregnancy was at as you go.
00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:13.099
My God, the amount of emails they're willing
00:02:13.099 --> 00:02:17.599
to send you. I should have made a burner email
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.740
just for that app, because like they've also
00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:25.340
signed me up for like this cord registry thing.
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.580
Oh, you should not need that. Do you know what
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:36.199
that is? No. Oh, that is your umbilical cord.
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.479
Jack is obsessed with umbilical cords. But beside
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.300
that point, they will take blood from your umbilical
00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:50.879
cord because it is chock full of stem cells.
00:02:51.139 --> 00:02:55.020
And they'll store it for you because if you or
00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:58.060
anyone in your family gets these certain types
00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:01.300
of illnesses, the cord blood is really supposed
00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:05.889
to help. Oh. Weird, kind of. I don't think it's
00:03:05.889 --> 00:03:11.069
weird. But yeah, it's just kind of a silly thing.
00:03:11.129 --> 00:03:13.789
I don't know. I guess I didn't know what it was,
00:03:13.789 --> 00:03:16.389
but I don't hate the idea of it. I mean, except
00:03:16.389 --> 00:03:21.129
it's like. thousands of dollars but anyway yeah
00:03:21.129 --> 00:03:23.590
I don't know it kind of gives the same vibe as
00:03:23.590 --> 00:03:27.129
people who like save their placenta I do believe
00:03:27.129 --> 00:03:29.689
that there are health benefits from it don't
00:03:29.689 --> 00:03:32.569
get me wrong it just maybe I'm immature it just
00:03:32.569 --> 00:03:37.830
gives me the heebie -jeebies I so for some reason
00:03:37.830 --> 00:03:42.069
the cord blood feels different to me than um
00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:45.689
the placenta situation I don't know why it shouldn't
00:03:45.689 --> 00:03:50.419
because it's fundamentally the same Yeah, I don't
00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:52.719
know. But I don't know. I don't know. I support
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.539
people who do it. I'm sure it's really helpful,
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.800
especially with some like illnesses and stuff
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.800
like that. I'm also like not very educated in
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.939
it, obviously. I'm not at all educated in it,
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:11.259
I would argue. So there we are. So. Let's get
00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:15.879
into it. I have two Elon Musk. One tangentially
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.920
related to Elon Musk and one directly related
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.480
to Elon Musk. Which one do you want to start
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:26.600
with? I really love talking about Republicans
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.600
who argue with robots. Gorgeous. Let's go into
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.319
that one first. So MAGA is out here literally
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:39.160
arguing with Grok, which is the... AI on Twitter.
00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:44.449
Right. X if you're a bootlicker. Either way,
00:04:44.470 --> 00:04:47.350
if you like it, I love it. But there is an entire
00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:55.990
TikTok dedicated to Grok versus MAGA. So I guess
00:04:55.990 --> 00:04:58.149
I don't know what these people think they're
00:04:58.149 --> 00:05:00.990
doing. They think they're fighting with a news
00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:03.910
source. And maybe this speaks to like what people
00:05:03.910 --> 00:05:06.860
don't. People like relying too much on AA to
00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:08.459
the point where they're like, no, no, no, I can
00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:11.079
argue with it and it can have an argument where
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:17.040
I don't. You've lost me. Yes. You've so lost
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.600
me. I also like before we get into this story
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.740
in particular, every viral tweet I see, all of
00:05:24.740 --> 00:05:28.259
the replies are Grok, is this real? At Grok,
00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:31.379
what about this? At Grok, Grok, Grok, Grok. Use
00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:36.069
your brain. It reminds me a lot of. the people
00:05:36.069 --> 00:05:38.250
who are like chat GPT what do you think about
00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:40.329
this like the ones that like call it chat and
00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:46.750
like I guess for me I'm just like what who is
00:05:46.750 --> 00:05:51.050
this for but I think it's for me because it goes
00:05:51.050 --> 00:05:57.750
into Grok just saying factual information and
00:05:57.750 --> 00:06:01.860
the far right is Simply not being able to handle
00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:04.699
it or accept it. I've been waiting for this day.
00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:07.879
I'll tell you after we get into it. Well, so
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:12.500
I guess like it. How do you say it? Mamdani.
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.639
Zoran Mamdani. Hang on. I don't want to butcher
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.819
it. I'm sorry. Zoran Mamdani, the mayoral candidate
00:06:21.819 --> 00:06:25.500
for New York. He's the mayor now. No, he won
00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:30.230
the primary. Oh. well that's how that matters
00:06:30.230 --> 00:06:34.170
what do you think about that no he won the um
00:06:34.170 --> 00:06:38.569
the primary which by the way if you want to see
00:06:38.569 --> 00:06:40.589
people losing their ever -loving minds turn on
00:06:40.589 --> 00:06:47.149
fox news right now i have i 9 11 levels of racism
00:06:47.149 --> 00:06:51.430
by the way wow it's well it's not it's not is
00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:55.709
that but it's not just that where it's also he's
00:06:55.709 --> 00:06:58.740
he's a what's the what's the level beyond socialist
00:06:58.740 --> 00:07:03.160
where um a communist yes they're like where he's
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.680
a communist and i'm like but if 51 of the city
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.420
of new york votes for him what's the problem
00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:12.220
if he wins the election what's the problem because
00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:14.079
it's the same argument for donald trump where
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.759
like people think he's a fascist i think that
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.519
word is a little overused sometimes i think a
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:21.540
lot of people who use that word don't know what
00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:25.319
it means i agree but i'm like if 50 what was
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.470
it 50 Three percent of the United States population
00:07:28.470 --> 00:07:30.709
voted for Donald Trump. What's the problem if
00:07:30.709 --> 00:07:34.529
51 percent of New York City votes for Zoran Magani?
00:07:34.529 --> 00:07:36.329
Isn't that the point of a democracy? Isn't that
00:07:36.329 --> 00:07:38.750
the point of an open election? I don't like.
00:07:39.009 --> 00:07:41.850
Don't we want free and fair elections? You can't
00:07:41.850 --> 00:07:43.509
be mad about an election. You're mad that this
00:07:43.509 --> 00:07:45.730
one wasn't rigged. Is that what you're mad about?
00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:49.189
Right. But he hasn't even won the election. He's
00:07:49.189 --> 00:07:51.949
only won the primary. But it has told us that.
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.959
People are ready for a change because New York
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.339
and let me just tell you about New York, because
00:07:56.339 --> 00:07:58.620
I have a little bit of firsthand experience with
00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:03.399
this. You have two real groups of people there.
00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:06.279
It's not about Republicans and Democrats. It
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.839
is about public servants who actually want to
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:14.259
show up and do the work that. Do the work of
00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:17.180
government, people like who I believe Alexandria
00:08:17.180 --> 00:08:19.800
Ocasio -Cortez is, people like who I believe
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.290
Jasmine Crockett is. And these people want to
00:08:23.290 --> 00:08:28.470
do the work. Then you have some of the most corrupt
00:08:28.470 --> 00:08:33.690
people on God's great earth who use the the budget
00:08:33.690 --> 00:08:36.929
as a slush fund, who use. They want to insider
00:08:36.929 --> 00:08:39.769
trade. They're looking for a check anywhere they
00:08:39.769 --> 00:08:42.389
can find a check. That's where they are. Right.
00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:45.779
And. That is the two groups of people you have
00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:48.399
in New York. When it comes to Zohran Mamdani,
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:53.639
I believe he is representative of what people
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.879
are desperate for when it comes to electing someone
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.539
to represent your best interests or lead a city.
00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:05.360
And people are furious about it. And you've got
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.919
people, by the way, you've got people. All over
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.500
the country who are mad about it, where this
00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:11.419
this really shouldn't be making news outside
00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:14.259
of New York, like New York proper, because it
00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:16.840
doesn't affect anyone outside of New York. No
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.480
impact on anyone else. It's like the mayor of
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.559
Indianapolis making headlines in Oklahoma. Like,
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.559
it's weird. It doesn't matter. Yeah. But just
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:32.700
know Zoran Mamdani, A, kind of cute. B, I support
00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:35.950
what he is trying to do in New York. That's all
00:09:35.950 --> 00:09:37.169
there is to it. But you have people that are
00:09:37.169 --> 00:09:39.230
saying that are questioning his citizenship because
00:09:39.230 --> 00:09:42.009
he's brown. You're having people do the whole.
00:09:42.009 --> 00:09:44.710
I'm so tired of that. Can we stop doing that?
00:09:45.830 --> 00:09:49.250
Anytime anyone who isn't white steps up, we're
00:09:49.250 --> 00:09:52.250
questioning their citizenship. Also, even people
00:09:52.250 --> 00:09:54.549
that are white. Elon Musk. He's white, right?
00:09:54.830 --> 00:09:57.370
Yeah, he's white. He's South African, which is
00:09:57.370 --> 00:09:59.730
the whole thing. I won't get into the apartheid.
00:09:59.730 --> 00:10:04.409
But yeah, what are we doing? Stop with the citizenship
00:10:04.409 --> 00:10:07.289
thing. America was supposed to be a melting pot
00:10:07.289 --> 00:10:09.129
of people from all over the world who needed
00:10:09.129 --> 00:10:12.309
refuge and wanted to work. That's it. Sure. And
00:10:12.309 --> 00:10:15.309
I would argue that Zoran Mamdadi wants to work.
00:10:15.549 --> 00:10:21.649
It embodies that. Yeah. We'll talk about immigration
00:10:21.649 --> 00:10:24.669
another day. Anyway, go on. I'll go off the deep
00:10:24.669 --> 00:10:29.850
end. But you've got that happening with Grok.
00:10:32.690 --> 00:10:35.570
I'm sorry, you've got you've got all of X blowing
00:10:35.570 --> 00:10:39.049
up about how Zoran Mamdani is not an American
00:10:39.049 --> 00:10:42.529
citizen, how he we should call into question
00:10:42.529 --> 00:10:46.970
his his citizenship. And then Grok says, no,
00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:50.049
you're so silly. This is this is actually what
00:10:50.049 --> 00:10:54.350
took place. And people are fighting with Grok.
00:10:54.409 --> 00:10:56.809
Right. And then they're saying, Grok, you are.
00:10:57.899 --> 00:11:00.320
you're you're part of the liberal mob now or
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:01.740
whatever whatever the fuck they're calling it
00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:05.799
and grok's like thanks for your input like yeah
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.320
i part of me wonders because like this is the
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:12.759
thing about elon musk we're like and i feel the
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.799
same way about donald trump if these people never
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.379
would have gotten involved in politics i would
00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:21.340
love them because you they're They're funny.
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.580
Like they're they're kind of funny. Like and
00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:26.620
I feel like Elon Musk probably program or Elon
00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:29.240
Musk had his people. I don't know that Elon Musk
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.399
did it entirely. I don't care. But he the directive
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.480
was to program Grok in such a way that it could
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.480
be a little bit snarky. It could come back with
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.720
some of this stuff. And I feel like that is a
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.000
little wing from Elon Musk being like, thanks
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.679
for your input. I think it's funny. I just I
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:52.870
mean. I know that it's objective because if I
00:11:52.870 --> 00:11:56.090
had to guess which way Elon Musk feels about
00:11:56.090 --> 00:11:59.350
this situation, he would want to leave it blurry
00:11:59.350 --> 00:12:04.929
on Zoran's citizenship because he's a Republican
00:12:04.929 --> 00:12:09.049
weirdo. Neither here nor there, but yeah. Donald
00:12:09.049 --> 00:12:10.870
Trump is one of the funniest people in America.
00:12:11.049 --> 00:12:13.330
Yes. I have nothing but hate towards him. Yes.
00:12:13.429 --> 00:12:16.429
He's funny. He's so funny. He should have always
00:12:16.429 --> 00:12:19.429
been on TV and kept himself out of the goddamn
00:12:19.429 --> 00:12:21.610
White House. But I've said this a million times
00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:25.610
about Donald Trump. If he would like if I ran
00:12:25.610 --> 00:12:30.250
in 2014, 15, when I lived in New York, if I would
00:12:30.250 --> 00:12:33.950
have ran into him at a party, I can definitively
00:12:33.950 --> 00:12:36.370
tell you he would have been surrounded by 10
00:12:36.370 --> 00:12:40.779
gays just holding court because he is. hysterical
00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:43.159
like he is he's a little bit hateful he's like
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.740
i mean he's he's super hateful he's a drag queen
00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:51.059
he's a drag queen he does not hold back he knows
00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:53.320
how to get a reaction out of people he's funny
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.919
right that being said i don't feel that way about
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.179
elon musk i'll say that but i feel like he knows
00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:04.879
how to make a robot be funny i think if you if
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:06.879
we got into a room with elon musk and he was
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.600
like he's a little bit snarky No. No? Okay. I
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.259
think he's strange. I don't think... Like, there's
00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:19.080
a difference for me between being witty and,
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:24.460
like, quick with being strange. That's, like,
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.279
a stark difference to me. That's fair. I think
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:29.480
he just, like... Is not of this world. I have
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:31.120
said this about Elon Musk. I probably already
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.500
said this on the podcast. We were never supposed
00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:35.139
to know who Elon Musk was. You have said that
00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:37.440
before. And I don't disagree. I feel like I feel
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.600
the same way about him as I do about the Rothschilds
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.779
where I feel like they we probably shouldn't
00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:44.899
know what they look like. You're meant to be
00:13:44.899 --> 00:13:47.759
an enigma. You're meant to use your brain and
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.580
do your thing and make your money. And I am not
00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:54.200
meant to know who you are. Right. I agree. And
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.730
it's because of this. It's because. It's polarizing.
00:14:00.070 --> 00:14:03.710
It is. It is. But yeah, anyway. Anyway. I can't
00:14:03.710 --> 00:14:05.830
believe people are arguing with AI. I knew this
00:14:05.830 --> 00:14:08.090
day would come for Republicans, though, because
00:14:08.090 --> 00:14:12.190
if you ask ChantGPT, do vaccines cause autism?
00:14:12.570 --> 00:14:16.570
It will say no. There is no hard evidence for
00:14:16.570 --> 00:14:18.990
it. And the guy who came up with that idea was
00:14:18.990 --> 00:14:22.210
barred from practicing medicine and had to issue
00:14:22.210 --> 00:14:27.980
an apology. So I knew. I knew once anti -vaxxers
00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:30.539
and Republicans started asking these kinds of
00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:32.960
questions, they weren't going to like the answers.
00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:37.320
Well, and that's that's the thing is where I.
00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:40.919
This is where I struggle, because, you know,
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:45.320
so much of my family is Republican and I, I,
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.480
I have to toe the line with a lot of people in
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.759
my family between. Trying to get them on the
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.340
same page of what is factual information versus
00:14:55.340 --> 00:14:57.000
what they just don't want to hear and what they're
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:01.279
not willing to accept. Yeah. And it's it's at
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.759
a certain point, it's like, OK, this is objectively
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:08.840
factual information. Like whether it comes to
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.000
34 counts of felonies, whether it comes to vaccines
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.940
not causing autism, whether it comes to COVID
00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:16.710
was not. a deep state conspiracy, whether it
00:15:16.710 --> 00:15:19.929
comes to 5G was not a thing that's put out into
00:15:19.929 --> 00:15:23.450
the world for any nefarious reason. I don't I
00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:26.610
don't care any number of these things. We didn't
00:15:26.610 --> 00:15:28.970
have that argument about 4G, by the way. Anyway,
00:15:29.049 --> 00:15:31.210
we did. We didn't have that argument about anything.
00:15:31.269 --> 00:15:33.029
And I don't know where the argument comes from.
00:15:33.110 --> 00:15:34.809
And that's what stresses me out is like, OK,
00:15:34.870 --> 00:15:37.909
we're coming to an age of information where you
00:15:37.909 --> 00:15:40.470
have the entire world, like more than we have
00:15:40.470 --> 00:15:43.509
ever had in our lives. We have the entire world
00:15:43.509 --> 00:15:46.779
available on. our phones ever in history and
00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:48.940
i do think this is one of the repercussions of
00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:52.879
that of humans having such access to information
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.240
you don't have to be able to siphon through and
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.000
read an encyclopedia anymore you can just ask
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.799
a robot right but on the other side of that so
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.919
like i i think part of the problem is like up
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.840
until now or up until really three years ago
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.980
you were able to kind of find weird things on
00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:15.240
the internet and like you go down a rabbit rabbit
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.539
rabbit hole or like whatever the case may be
00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:19.960
i love watching conspiracy theory youtube videos
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.679
right i love that stuff but now you have someone
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.120
who sound or something that sounds like a person
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.120
that is saying no that's not true and it's not
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.519
objectively agreeing empirically with everything
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:36.440
that you're saying and you can't handle that
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.250
so you fight with a fucking robot Yeah, like
00:16:40.250 --> 00:16:44.730
we have lost the entire plot. I think people
00:16:44.730 --> 00:16:46.870
have no media literacy. We've talked about this
00:16:46.870 --> 00:16:49.690
already, but people have no media literacy. They
00:16:49.690 --> 00:16:52.529
have no skepticism over anything. And so now
00:16:52.529 --> 00:16:55.090
if you can just put doctor at the front of your
00:16:55.090 --> 00:16:57.929
name on Twitter and spout whatever nonsense you
00:16:57.929 --> 00:17:02.059
want and people will just believe you. People
00:17:02.059 --> 00:17:05.680
will just believe whatever schizophrenic conspiracy
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.660
you've come up with. They will just trust that
00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:11.900
that is real. But if you're a large language
00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:16.519
model that has access to the entire world of
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:20.130
actually true information, it can say that. But
00:17:20.130 --> 00:17:21.809
you're not willing to believe that and you're
00:17:21.809 --> 00:17:24.029
willing to say, well, you were created by liberals,
00:17:24.049 --> 00:17:25.569
so you're not factually correct. Well, that's
00:17:25.569 --> 00:17:27.569
the problem, right? They believe all of these
00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:29.910
people who claim to be doctors and claim to be
00:17:29.910 --> 00:17:33.230
PhDs and claim to know this and that to the point
00:17:33.230 --> 00:17:37.170
where they are not willing to listen to an objective.
00:17:39.109 --> 00:17:42.589
Who has no reason to lie to you. No reason to
00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:44.849
hurt your feelings, by the way. They are programmed
00:17:44.849 --> 00:17:47.109
to keep you talking to them and keep you asking
00:17:47.109 --> 00:17:49.869
questions to them because they want to learn.
00:17:51.109 --> 00:17:57.410
But at the same time. I think that the step further
00:17:57.410 --> 00:18:01.710
that stresses me out here is. If you don't like
00:18:01.710 --> 00:18:05.109
it, it's it's liberal. If you don't like it,
00:18:05.109 --> 00:18:07.410
it's. A conspiracy theory. If you don't like
00:18:07.410 --> 00:18:08.910
it, it's the deep state. If you don't like it,
00:18:08.930 --> 00:18:11.130
it's woke. Woke is the one that really, like,
00:18:11.150 --> 00:18:15.630
I fucking hate that word. I'm sorry. It's silly.
00:18:16.170 --> 00:18:19.269
It's silly for me. Sorry, I'll let you finish.
00:18:19.349 --> 00:18:20.910
No, no, no, you're fine. Jack shook his head
00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:23.589
when I said fuck, so. It's silly to me because
00:18:23.589 --> 00:18:29.329
what you're saying, it's woke, it's woke, it's.
00:18:29.849 --> 00:18:33.890
Okay, aren't you trying to be woke? You're saying
00:18:33.890 --> 00:18:39.490
you're deviating from the widely accepted truth
00:18:39.490 --> 00:18:43.529
of things. You're the one deviating from what
00:18:43.529 --> 00:18:48.089
we acknowledge in science, etc. Mostly science
00:18:48.089 --> 00:18:53.029
is where I have the issue. You are the one who
00:18:53.029 --> 00:18:57.869
is being woke, no? That's what I don't understand.
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.759
If anything, these conspirators are the ones
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:05.019
trying to be woke with the classic definition
00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:08.220
of that word. I guess maybe I don't understand
00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:10.200
what woke is because I thought woke was just
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:13.519
like what people screamed when something was
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:15.519
not straight and white. Like that's that's just
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.359
what I thought it was. So my impression was woke
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.960
is people who are not just believing what is
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:28.470
put in front of them, but rather believing. the
00:19:28.470 --> 00:19:30.750
real truth of things like you're challenging
00:19:30.750 --> 00:19:34.829
the status quo you've awoken you are oh okay
00:19:34.829 --> 00:19:39.789
so what's wrong with that right but also isn't
00:19:39.789 --> 00:19:42.609
that what you're doing like if your conspiracies
00:19:42.609 --> 00:19:46.250
are really what you believe aren't you the one
00:19:46.250 --> 00:19:49.170
being woke in that sense of the word like i don't
00:19:49.170 --> 00:19:51.869
understand but and this is this is what it all
00:19:51.869 --> 00:19:55.240
comes back to is It's not a rational conversation.
00:19:55.380 --> 00:19:57.160
You and I are rational. I like to believe we're
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:01.079
rational people. Yeah. You and I can have a conversation
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:03.180
and like walk away from it and be like, OK, well,
00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:05.839
I was crazy. Or we can say, OK, I can agree with
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.640
someone. And we can we can objectively look at
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.200
something and make an assessment about the merits
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.319
of an argument. Right. Right. And I genuinely
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.180
try to see other people's sides of things every
00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:21.019
time. I don't believe that grace is reciprocated,
00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:24.640
though. No, it's not. And then this is where
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.619
I come back to, though, that stresses me out
00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:30.519
is. And I think this is like I guess it doesn't
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:32.839
stress me out. This is where I come back to where
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.519
I feel like I'm beating my head into a wall.
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:40.599
You are. I say you really I am trying to make
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:43.460
sense of a completely irrational situation. I
00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:45.799
am trying to look at it as a rational person
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:47.839
where I'm like, you're fighting with a robot.
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:53.890
You are fighting with a robot. Yeah, I... Come
00:20:53.890 --> 00:20:56.890
on, you've lost the plot, babe. Right, like,
00:20:56.930 --> 00:20:59.109
turn it off. You know what it reminds me of?
00:20:59.170 --> 00:21:01.970
That tweet Tyler, the creator, put out years
00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:04.710
and years, 10 years ago plus now, that's like,
00:21:04.849 --> 00:21:07.569
how is cyberbullying a real thing? Just log off,
00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:11.569
bro. Close your eyes. Go fucking touch grass.
00:21:11.630 --> 00:21:15.170
Yeah, a lot of them need to touch grass. A lot.
00:21:17.509 --> 00:21:24.650
Fox News watchers and... subscribers, just go
00:21:24.650 --> 00:21:26.529
touch some grass. If you don't feel any differently,
00:21:26.730 --> 00:21:31.190
I'm sorry. Go touch some grass. Speaking of touching,
00:21:31.289 --> 00:21:32.650
this isn't, this is not speaking of touching
00:21:32.650 --> 00:21:35.970
grass. Did you hear what Jack just said? No,
00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:38.670
I was, I said what I said about touching grass
00:21:38.670 --> 00:21:42.069
and he goes, did somebody just say a bad word?
00:21:43.450 --> 00:21:47.250
And I said, Jack, you are, you're right. I should
00:21:47.250 --> 00:21:48.750
be better about that. You are a hundred percent
00:21:48.750 --> 00:21:56.549
right. Thank you for letting me know. OK. All
00:21:56.549 --> 00:21:59.529
right. Moving on to Elon Musk again being silly.
00:21:59.710 --> 00:22:06.609
Boy, oh boy. Elon Musk. He's so silly. So here's.
00:22:07.710 --> 00:22:14.990
Here's the thing. If this shakes out to be what
00:22:14.990 --> 00:22:18.289
I think he envisions it being, I will applaud
00:22:18.289 --> 00:22:21.759
him. I'll go on record now and say that if he
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:25.819
truly wants to cut corruption from the government,
00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:30.420
if he truly wants to put America first in government,
00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:35.220
if he truly wants to fight for people. I will
00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:38.440
applaud him. I'll say that right now on best
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:46.019
to approve. I don't think so. Do do I do I really
00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:51.809
believe that? But the new political party called
00:22:51.809 --> 00:22:55.990
the America Party is going to shake out to be
00:22:55.990 --> 00:22:59.529
anything other than a publicity stunt. I don't
00:22:59.529 --> 00:23:01.569
think so. I hope I'm wrong. I don't think so.
00:23:02.230 --> 00:23:05.049
Here's what I'm hoping it does. Here's my best
00:23:05.049 --> 00:23:10.009
case scenario. In 2028, it'll split the vote
00:23:10.009 --> 00:23:12.789
so Republicans don't get the numbers that they
00:23:12.789 --> 00:23:16.569
did in 2024. And what an election the Lord will
00:23:16.569 --> 00:23:23.250
have made. Thank God. And part of me also wonders,
00:23:23.309 --> 00:23:26.349
is this Elon just coming back and being like,
00:23:26.450 --> 00:23:29.490
I just want to make him mad. I genuinely think
00:23:29.490 --> 00:23:32.569
a lot of it is emotional. I think a lot of this
00:23:32.569 --> 00:23:36.150
is emotional. Because he spent $300 million on
00:23:36.150 --> 00:23:39.049
Donald Trump last year. Right. And now he's like
00:23:39.049 --> 00:23:41.309
having a falling out. And he's like, well, I'll
00:23:41.309 --> 00:23:44.970
make my own political party. And I guess I've
00:23:44.970 --> 00:23:48.279
never really thought about what. a political
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.319
party actually is like in my mind I was like
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:53.740
oh it's really just a set of ideologies which
00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:57.299
is why when he said I'm making the America party
00:23:57.299 --> 00:24:02.380
I was like isn't that just kind of what everyone
00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:06.779
like when he was saying it I was like cool okay
00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:09.079
whatever and now I'm like oh no it's it's all
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:13.230
like it's a money grab it's a it's it's a business
00:24:13.230 --> 00:24:16.289
it's all like it and it's frustrating because
00:24:16.289 --> 00:24:18.130
I don't feel like it should be that way but here
00:24:18.130 --> 00:24:20.970
we are no in fact our founding fathers warned
00:24:20.970 --> 00:24:23.609
us against it being this way but here we are
00:24:23.609 --> 00:24:32.430
doing it to the fullest but so yeah um but I
00:24:32.430 --> 00:24:36.549
will let me I'll tell you this right now if Elon
00:24:36.549 --> 00:24:41.349
Musk succeeds in getting the America party on
00:24:42.009 --> 00:24:46.049
Any election ticket. And that party actually
00:24:46.049 --> 00:24:50.529
believes in what he says they believe in, which
00:24:50.529 --> 00:24:55.509
I do. What he has said is not a liberal or conservative
00:24:55.509 --> 00:24:59.750
idea. It's just like we take care of this country.
00:24:59.869 --> 00:25:02.869
It does kind of remind me of the Donald Trump
00:25:02.869 --> 00:25:07.740
drain the swamp thing. Oh, which ended up being
00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:11.059
a whole Republican thing. In fact, infecting
00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:13.960
the swamp, I would argue. It's the swamp that
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:20.859
RFK swam in. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know.
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:24.579
I do hope it's on tickets. If anything, it'll
00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:29.829
split the vote. Donald Trump did say I'm saddened
00:25:29.829 --> 00:25:32.130
to watch Elon Musk go completely off the rails
00:25:32.130 --> 00:25:34.569
and essentially becoming a train wreck over the
00:25:34.569 --> 00:25:38.410
last five weeks. This is this is the thing about
00:25:38.410 --> 00:25:42.650
Donald Trump is that he is an ex -boyfriend that
00:25:42.650 --> 00:25:44.990
says, oh, I'm so glad to be done with her. She's
00:25:44.990 --> 00:25:47.289
crazy. That's who that's who Donald Trump is.
00:25:47.390 --> 00:25:51.630
Oh, yeah. He's in. I'm sorry you feel that way,
00:25:51.630 --> 00:25:57.180
babe. Oh, yeah. Mm hmm. But. There's that. Let
00:25:57.180 --> 00:26:00.160
us know if you're going to join the America Party.
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:03.980
Yeah, I honestly want to know your opinion. I'm
00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:05.640
not going to, like, come at you. I just want
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.140
to know, like, where you're coming from. Do you
00:26:08.140 --> 00:26:09.700
know who I think is perfect for this, though,
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:14.460
is my dad. Yeah. People who are genuinely skeptical
00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:17.980
of Donald Trump, but, like. But love America.
00:26:18.180 --> 00:26:20.259
Let me just tell you, listener. Like, one day
00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:22.220
we'll, I don't know if we'll ever get my dad
00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:25.670
on the pod, but we will. I'll tell I'll tell
00:26:25.670 --> 00:26:29.569
you guys about my dad. He is someone that loves,
00:26:29.589 --> 00:26:34.410
loves, loves, loves America. And he loves. He
00:26:34.410 --> 00:26:38.130
loves his fellow man like he is, I think what
00:26:38.130 --> 00:26:41.289
when people envision the American dream, he's
00:26:41.289 --> 00:26:43.509
the kind of person that really lives out that
00:26:43.509 --> 00:26:48.690
idea, I think. And Elon Musk's party is perfect
00:26:48.690 --> 00:26:52.789
for someone like my dad. Yeah. So I do hope that
00:26:52.789 --> 00:26:55.410
like he is serious about what he's trying to
00:26:55.410 --> 00:26:59.049
do. Yeah. I do think like all those videos of
00:26:59.049 --> 00:27:00.910
people who are like, I voted for Donald Trump
00:27:00.910 --> 00:27:03.529
and I regret it. I think it's good for them.
00:27:04.109 --> 00:27:06.849
Yeah. But I think it's good for them. I hope
00:27:06.849 --> 00:27:09.269
they have a party that they can align with. You
00:27:09.269 --> 00:27:14.750
know, I agree. Moving on. Moving on. Have you
00:27:14.750 --> 00:27:19.630
seen this TikTok going around of this guy who.
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:24.619
Was talking about how as we are getting into
00:27:24.619 --> 00:27:27.079
our 20s or 30s and like maybe we don't want to
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:31.119
go out for drinks anymore. Maybe we need to normalize
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.579
going out for fries and a Diet Coke. I love that.
00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:37.380
Yes, I have seen it. I love that so much. Like
00:27:37.380 --> 00:27:41.539
it's the most wholesome. I love it. I love it.
00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:45.460
It really, really makes me happy. Yeah, there's
00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:47.299
nothing in this life that I love more than a
00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:49.359
dirty Diet Coke with a Caesar salad and some
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:51.960
fries. What? So that's your version of fries
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:56.220
and Diet Coke? Yeah. I think mine is nachos and
00:27:56.220 --> 00:27:58.940
a Diet Dr. Pepper. Because, you know, I love
00:27:58.940 --> 00:28:01.619
nothing more than a good plate of nachos. I love
00:28:01.619 --> 00:28:07.359
nachos, too. Wow, that sounds really good. Okay.
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:10.259
Okay. Love that. I think you should take all
00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:12.700
of your friends out for Diet Coke and fries.
00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:14.980
And also I like that because there's like no
00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:16.759
pressure. It's like you don't have to spend a
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:20.339
whole night drinking Diet Coke and eating French
00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:23.920
fries. Just go gossip for a minute. Yeah. An
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.380
hour. Two hours. On to complaining. Are we complaining?
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:31.500
I'm going to let you go first because you had
00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:35.900
one. It's just so fucking hot outside. I'm so
00:28:35.900 --> 00:28:39.440
tired of it being hot. I haven't gotten any cardio
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:43.400
in all summer because as soon as Jack's school
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:46.900
was up, it was 90 degrees. And so we can't go
00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:49.400
for walks. I can't go to the gym because I'm
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:51.319
not going to neglect my child. They don't have
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:56.920
a daycare there. It's just too hot. We went for
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.960
a walk in between episodes and both Jack and
00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:02.799
Travis were eating and it felt like I was on
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.839
the surface of hell. And that just our mental
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:10.640
health walk, if anything, diminished my mental
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.900
health. Turned out to be a mental illness walk
00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:16.119
for Emma. Yeah. Let me let me tell you how that
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:20.920
in my view, how this walk went. We walked out
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:24.059
onto the sidewalk in front of Emma's house. We
00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:27.599
had been walking for 13 seconds. Oh, we were
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.259
still in front of my house. We had not passed
00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:33.660
my house. To be fair, it was hotter than the
00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:37.420
surface of the sun. I was eating a one of those
00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:40.740
like little dove chocolate things. And Jack was
00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:44.160
eating a chicken nugget. And Emma goes, it's
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:51.529
hot and everyone's chewing. I'm too pregnant
00:29:51.529 --> 00:29:55.349
to be dealing with any type of bullshit. And
00:29:55.349 --> 00:30:01.789
it might have been the most. For context, listener,
00:30:01.950 --> 00:30:04.829
Jack was so good for the first episode we recorded.
00:30:04.950 --> 00:30:06.950
So I said, let's go and get some of our energy
00:30:06.950 --> 00:30:09.750
out. I pulled a muscle in my lower back. So I
00:30:09.750 --> 00:30:11.390
was like, let me just make sure that's not locking
00:30:11.390 --> 00:30:13.490
up. Let's let Jack get some of his energy out.
00:30:13.750 --> 00:30:17.009
And Emma said, it's hot and everyone's chewing.
00:30:17.980 --> 00:30:21.539
I just sometimes you got to let it out or it'll
00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:24.279
fester. You were a trooper through it. You went
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:28.039
for a little walk. We did. OK, and I'm happy
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:32.420
to go for a walk. I just had a moment. It was
00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:34.519
a good walk. It was a good hot girl walk. I'm
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:38.839
hot all the time, too, which I know we'll have
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:41.460
a pregnancy update in this video, but I am so
00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:44.099
hot all the time. And I talked to my OB about
00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:47.240
it and she was like, you're literally an oven.
00:30:47.849 --> 00:30:52.549
You are baking this kid. So like, yeah, you're
00:30:52.549 --> 00:30:56.710
going to feel hot. And I was like, well, good
00:30:56.710 --> 00:30:59.329
thing it's 90 degrees outside. Guess I'll just
00:30:59.329 --> 00:31:03.190
die. And the AC is out of my car, by the way.
00:31:03.230 --> 00:31:05.529
I haven't had my car in like a week and a half
00:31:05.529 --> 00:31:08.130
because it's forever until a Honda dealership
00:31:08.130 --> 00:31:13.049
can get me in. That's hard. So that's my complaint.
00:31:13.410 --> 00:31:18.400
I'm fucking hot. yeah I'm gonna complain about
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:24.500
LinkedIn oh good complaint so I had to create
00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:26.599
so I was on LinkedIn forever and ever and ever
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:29.180
and then I got off because I was like I I hate
00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:32.660
everything about the culture of LinkedIn and
00:31:32.660 --> 00:31:35.019
then for my master's program and one of my classes
00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:38.500
I was forced to get back onto LinkedIn because
00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:40.400
like we had to do some kind of case study or
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.299
some shit I don't know why people have such a
00:31:42.299 --> 00:31:45.019
boner for LinkedIn They, like, want to force
00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:46.500
you to be on it. I don't. That's not the first
00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:48.940
time I've heard, like, oh, I have to be on LinkedIn
00:31:48.940 --> 00:31:52.099
for this or that. Ugh. Well, I mean, at our old
00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:56.289
job. the one the first circle of hell I was forced
00:31:56.289 --> 00:31:58.869
to be on it there too by the social media team
00:31:58.869 --> 00:32:01.809
yeah I'm sure you were I don't understand it's
00:32:01.809 --> 00:32:04.869
social media like but and they like gave me things
00:32:04.869 --> 00:32:06.910
to post for because I was part of that stupid
00:32:06.910 --> 00:32:09.769
pilot program like it was the worst experience
00:32:09.769 --> 00:32:11.609
of my life I had to go to classes like and there
00:32:11.609 --> 00:32:13.849
was compliance involved but then they were like
00:32:13.849 --> 00:32:16.109
you have no idea how impactful this is going
00:32:16.109 --> 00:32:20.130
to be gun to my head I don't I cannot tell you
00:32:20.130 --> 00:32:21.869
anything that came out of it. I gave the company
00:32:21.869 --> 00:32:24.549
complete control of my LinkedIn and I said, you
00:32:24.549 --> 00:32:25.849
do whatever you want with it. I want nothing
00:32:25.849 --> 00:32:28.589
to do with it. I hated it. I hate LinkedIn in
00:32:28.589 --> 00:32:32.650
general, but. But now people are posting video
00:32:32.650 --> 00:32:35.349
content on this godforsaken platform and they're
00:32:35.349 --> 00:32:38.130
making it out to be that they're LinkedIn influencers.
00:32:38.569 --> 00:32:43.559
And I'm just like, what? What? Why? What? Like,
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.460
it's all about the hustle and the grind and the
00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:48.980
like, oh, like you to put in this many hours.
00:32:49.259 --> 00:32:52.900
Shut up. Shut up. I've hated that on LinkedIn
00:32:52.900 --> 00:32:57.400
forever and ever and ever for years. The grind
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.819
set of it all. I hate it. I can't believe people
00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:03.279
are trying to be LinkedIn influencers. That's
00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.680
crazy. But then I'll take it one step further.
00:33:05.859 --> 00:33:08.200
And then they try to get you to join LinkedIn
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:13.269
premium. I'd rather get my toenails pulled out.
00:33:13.869 --> 00:33:21.509
It is. It is. One of these one of these byproducts
00:33:21.509 --> 00:33:23.690
of late stage capitalism where they want you
00:33:23.690 --> 00:33:29.670
to pay for. The privilege of looking for a goddamn
00:33:29.670 --> 00:33:32.890
job like you were trying to extract money for
00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:35.839
people that are ostensibly looking for. jobs
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.980
to get a better life and like if it's if it's
00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:40.579
the other side of it if you're on linkedin premium
00:33:40.579 --> 00:33:44.960
for for if you're hiring someone and you want
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.319
to be highlighted in like the job profiles engagement
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.240
you need the engagement to like whatever i want
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:56.380
that for you if i get one more email from linkedin
00:33:56.380 --> 00:33:58.220
saying you should sign up for linkedin premium
00:33:58.220 --> 00:34:01.210
you get a free 90 day trial or whatever. No,
00:34:01.410 --> 00:34:04.410
I'm not. I'm not interested in that. And you,
00:34:04.509 --> 00:34:06.910
Mr. And Mrs. LinkedIn can shove that right up
00:34:06.910 --> 00:34:10.269
your ass. Yeah, I think LinkedIn has been trying
00:34:10.269 --> 00:34:13.849
to be Facebook for some time now. And I just
00:34:13.849 --> 00:34:17.090
don't understand it. I don't understand it. I
00:34:17.090 --> 00:34:19.030
don't think people should get paid for engagement
00:34:19.030 --> 00:34:21.329
on LinkedIn. I don't think people should be running
00:34:21.329 --> 00:34:24.730
ads for other companies on LinkedIn. I don't
00:34:24.730 --> 00:34:27.010
understand it at all. It's insane. I think the
00:34:27.010 --> 00:34:29.920
only reason you should ever need to. post a video
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.139
on linkedin is if you are selling something for
00:34:33.139 --> 00:34:37.980
your job i think putting a video on linkedin
00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:41.239
is the most insane thing like i want you to think
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:45.039
back to what linkedin started as it was a A social
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:48.539
media thing for people looking for a job. And
00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:50.500
then I think it was Microsoft that bought them
00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:53.840
out. And they were like, how can we make this
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.460
into a growth strategy? And it should have never
00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:59.679
been that. No, LinkedIn didn't need to grow.
00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:03.340
It grows by nature of people needing jobs. Yes.
00:35:04.139 --> 00:35:07.059
Like never in my life have I ever seen anything
00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:13.980
like it. Hate LinkedIn. Always have. Hate it.
00:35:14.589 --> 00:35:16.449
All right. Are you going to jump into reality
00:35:16.449 --> 00:35:22.349
roundup? Yes, I would love to. Can we talk about
00:35:22.349 --> 00:35:26.710
Love Island for a second? I would love to. I'm
00:35:26.710 --> 00:35:28.210
going to turn my mic off because, you know, I
00:35:28.210 --> 00:35:31.489
have nothing valuable to add to this. Yeah. OK,
00:35:31.690 --> 00:35:33.710
so last time I was talking about how people have
00:35:33.710 --> 00:35:35.570
lost the plot of Love Island and like they don't
00:35:35.570 --> 00:35:37.349
understand what it's supposed to be about and
00:35:37.349 --> 00:35:42.670
all of that. It's only gotten worse. It's only
00:35:42.670 --> 00:35:44.849
gotten worse. Jesus, I've seen a lot on TikTok
00:35:44.849 --> 00:35:48.110
about this. But also, that's what I want to talk
00:35:48.110 --> 00:35:54.650
about. They did zero vetting this year over the
00:35:54.650 --> 00:35:57.989
cast. They didn't even go through this cast's
00:35:57.989 --> 00:36:02.730
social media archives. They didn't do any of
00:36:02.730 --> 00:36:04.730
the due diligence they needed to do. Oh no, this
00:36:04.730 --> 00:36:05.889
is going to be what I think it's going to be.
00:36:06.329 --> 00:36:08.969
We've had two racists on there that have been
00:36:08.969 --> 00:36:14.429
booted off. No. Two. No. One of them was on a
00:36:14.429 --> 00:36:18.909
podcast months before going on Love Island saying,
00:36:19.130 --> 00:36:24.210
he's my N -word. He's my N -word. She is Latina.
00:36:24.650 --> 00:36:28.710
Okay. Oh. And then we have this other girl who
00:36:28.710 --> 00:36:34.440
said the reason she gets Botox. are so her eyes
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:44.619
don't look so Asian slur. They both have had
00:36:44.619 --> 00:36:48.579
to, like, once those clips have come to light,
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:53.400
right, the producers have had to go there, like,
00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:55.400
obviously off camera, they're not willing to
00:36:55.400 --> 00:37:01.589
show any of this, and, like, drag them off. Like
00:37:01.589 --> 00:37:03.130
basically in the middle of the night. The first
00:37:03.130 --> 00:37:04.489
one was literally in the middle of the night.
00:37:04.550 --> 00:37:08.929
The second one was like in one morning. But I'm
00:37:08.929 --> 00:37:13.449
like, you people have done this to yourself.
00:37:13.989 --> 00:37:17.170
I don't know how you're not vetting these people,
00:37:17.230 --> 00:37:19.210
how you're not like coming up with this shit.
00:37:20.469 --> 00:37:23.630
I feel like you should have to do such a deep
00:37:23.630 --> 00:37:26.670
dive before you put someone on any type of reality
00:37:26.670 --> 00:37:31.900
show. And they clearly didn't do. So I agree.
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:35.679
And I'm this. I think you should have to vet
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:37.440
someone before you put them on reality TV, I
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:40.400
think. But on the other side of that, I think
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:43.840
if you put someone on reality TV and something
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.079
like this comes to light, you get what you get.
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:50.360
Period. End of story. Like you, if you weren't
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.889
willing to do the work, which from. From what
00:37:53.889 --> 00:37:57.690
I've gathered and the maybe all total 25 minutes
00:37:57.690 --> 00:37:59.690
of Love Island that I have watched, it does not
00:37:59.690 --> 00:38:02.170
seem like they are willing to do the work. No,
00:38:02.269 --> 00:38:04.670
they are not willing to work on their audio.
00:38:04.829 --> 00:38:07.389
They're not willing to work on their cast, nor
00:38:07.389 --> 00:38:11.210
the nonsensical things that they do on the show
00:38:11.210 --> 00:38:14.389
that have no like repercussions or ever come
00:38:14.389 --> 00:38:19.360
up later. Right. I feel like you just have to
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.599
accept that, like, if you're not willing to put
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:25.320
in the work of a production, this is the quality
00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:28.320
of the outcome that you get. That being said,
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.039
on the other side of this, I feel conflicted
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:35.340
in some ways about. Pulling them off the show
00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:39.130
and not letting them answer for their. Transgressions.
00:38:39.130 --> 00:38:40.869
OK, so the one that was like six months ago in
00:38:40.869 --> 00:38:43.309
a podcast, maybe that was a little like a little
00:38:43.309 --> 00:38:45.750
too recent for them to say like I fucked up and
00:38:45.750 --> 00:38:47.670
like, my God, I'm so embarrassed about saying
00:38:47.670 --> 00:38:50.250
that. I think the other one was like early last
00:38:50.250 --> 00:38:53.289
year or like maybe a couple of years ago. She
00:38:53.289 --> 00:38:55.929
was an adult when she said it. So I'm talking
00:38:55.929 --> 00:38:58.690
about someone like if if we're talking like on
00:38:58.690 --> 00:39:01.869
RuPaul's Drag Race in Australia, they had one
00:39:01.869 --> 00:39:05.590
of the queens, I guess, performed in blackface.
00:39:05.710 --> 00:39:12.150
And that's. horrific. But what I do appreciate
00:39:12.150 --> 00:39:15.230
about that moment is that RuPaul said, what do
00:39:15.230 --> 00:39:16.989
you have to say about this? We just found out
00:39:16.989 --> 00:39:20.789
about this. What do you have to say? Yeah. I
00:39:20.789 --> 00:39:25.150
respect the hell out of that because now. The
00:39:25.150 --> 00:39:26.909
Love Island producers are cowards. I'll just
00:39:26.909 --> 00:39:30.590
say that. Because like when this girl, the one
00:39:30.590 --> 00:39:33.289
who said the slur against Asian people, they
00:39:33.289 --> 00:39:36.409
pick her out of the show. It is in the morning,
00:39:36.590 --> 00:39:38.909
you know, because she's kind of like in the background
00:39:38.909 --> 00:39:41.110
when they're like getting ready in the morning.
00:39:41.130 --> 00:39:44.829
You can see her. They didn't want you to, but
00:39:44.829 --> 00:39:50.389
you still can. Anyway, they say Sierra's left
00:39:50.389 --> 00:39:54.590
the show for personal reasons. So now people
00:39:54.590 --> 00:39:59.269
who are not on social media, people who are not
00:39:59.269 --> 00:40:05.050
as chronically online as me, who have jobs, they
00:40:05.050 --> 00:40:08.590
think like, oh, her grandma died or oh, she got
00:40:08.590 --> 00:40:11.530
sick or something like that. No, no, no, no.
00:40:11.989 --> 00:40:15.809
Let's say it for what it is. Or are you not willing
00:40:15.809 --> 00:40:19.710
to admit your misstep in allowing her on this
00:40:19.710 --> 00:40:23.059
show? I don't even know that the responsibility
00:40:23.059 --> 00:40:25.900
falls on the production of Love Island at that
00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:29.300
point. I think if you are going to take her off
00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:35.099
the show and. You say, hey, we found out about
00:40:35.099 --> 00:40:37.159
this, like this is this is why she's being removed
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:38.960
from the show. Hey, I think the cast deserves
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:40.340
to know that because they are going to come out
00:40:40.340 --> 00:40:41.659
of this because I don't know. Do they have access
00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:43.519
to their phones in this house? No. So they're
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:44.980
OK. So they're going to come out of the show
00:40:44.980 --> 00:40:48.010
and it's going to be. It's very fuzzy on how
00:40:48.010 --> 00:40:50.389
much they know. Yeah. They're going to be asked
00:40:50.389 --> 00:40:52.309
for comments and they are not going there. They're
00:40:52.309 --> 00:40:53.809
going to have no idea what to say. And they're
00:40:53.809 --> 00:40:56.409
going to be finding out. Yeah. After all of us
00:40:56.409 --> 00:40:59.469
know. And a hundred percent. And so now they're
00:40:59.469 --> 00:41:01.869
talking about like the guy she was with is like,
00:41:01.949 --> 00:41:04.909
oh, well, my head was on straight because like
00:41:04.909 --> 00:41:08.130
I was with Sierra. I knew what I wanted, blah,
00:41:08.250 --> 00:41:10.710
blah, blah. Oh, Jesus Christ. It's Love Island.
00:41:10.969 --> 00:41:16.019
And now it's like. I don't know. It's not like
00:41:16.019 --> 00:41:18.000
anyone is going up and defending her or anything
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:22.460
like that. I think they know to a point that
00:41:22.460 --> 00:41:26.519
it's like something she said on social media
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:29.360
that was not appropriate, blah, blah, blah. Because
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.960
otherwise I think they'd be like, oh, I'm praying
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:34.880
for her. Oh, I miss her, blah, blah, blah. And
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.300
there's none of that. And I would argue people
00:41:37.300 --> 00:41:41.199
being racist to Asians in general is that it
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:47.239
is so. diminished and minimized like people don't
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:51.480
take it seriously or as seriously as they should
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:55.559
um anyway Yeah, I do think a lot of Asian hate
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:59.280
is minimized. It is. It's horrific. Yeah. And
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.420
like diminished in terms of severity, because
00:42:02.420 --> 00:42:05.579
it really does hurt a lot of people there, especially
00:42:05.579 --> 00:42:09.019
if you're like on Love Island. This girl lost
00:42:09.019 --> 00:42:12.719
like hundreds of thousands of followers in hours.
00:42:13.099 --> 00:42:15.639
She was close to a million followers and she
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:21.860
has like 700 ,000 now. Well, it was crazy. but
00:42:21.860 --> 00:42:24.519
it's like you hurt people's feelings like you
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:26.500
made people feel like they weren't enough and
00:42:26.500 --> 00:42:31.179
like they needed a cosmetic procedure done to
00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:33.519
look a different way okay i see okay so it's
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:34.880
like no it's more than hurting their feelings
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:37.699
you're a racist cunt yeah like sorry but okay
00:42:37.699 --> 00:42:39.539
now i see where okay those i see where you're
00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:42.139
connecting like girls who are looking up to you
00:42:42.139 --> 00:42:45.380
especially asian girls who are looking up to
00:42:45.380 --> 00:42:49.739
you can you imagine like being a little girl
00:42:51.259 --> 00:42:54.960
From any Asian country and hearing someone like
00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:57.579
that. I mean, granted, maybe there's a larger
00:42:57.579 --> 00:42:59.960
conversation around like you look up to someone
00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:02.619
who's on Love Island, but also my hero is Bethany
00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:05.079
Frankel. So who am I to say anything? We're in
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:07.260
the age of social media and this is what we have.
00:43:07.300 --> 00:43:10.099
You know what I mean? So whatever. Can you imagine
00:43:10.099 --> 00:43:13.860
hearing that and being like, fuck, what do you
00:43:13.860 --> 00:43:16.590
do with that? I don't know. Yeah. And I don't
00:43:16.590 --> 00:43:18.869
know. I guess there was this whole thing. I don't
00:43:18.869 --> 00:43:22.130
I don't know that much about. But people like
00:43:22.130 --> 00:43:24.349
confronted her about this at the time. She's
00:43:24.349 --> 00:43:27.710
had a lot of followers for a long time. They
00:43:27.710 --> 00:43:30.409
confronted her about not using that word. And
00:43:30.409 --> 00:43:33.210
she like stood ten toes down and was like, I
00:43:33.210 --> 00:43:35.210
didn't mean it like that. Then don't fucking
00:43:35.210 --> 00:43:37.449
say it. And then one of her little friends who
00:43:37.449 --> 00:43:39.269
was like handling her social media was like,
00:43:39.309 --> 00:43:42.489
you don't understand her sense of humor. Oh,
00:43:42.489 --> 00:43:44.449
let me tell you what I'm not interested in. It's
00:43:44.449 --> 00:43:46.530
her sense of humor. No, I don't want to get her
00:43:46.530 --> 00:43:50.230
sense of humor if it's racist and vile. No. Well,
00:43:50.309 --> 00:43:53.449
there's that. Yeah. OK, so moving on. Ladies
00:43:53.449 --> 00:43:55.170
of London is coming back. Ladies of London is
00:43:55.170 --> 00:43:56.769
coming back. I'm so excited. So this is apparently
00:43:56.769 --> 00:43:59.130
old news. This was announced back in May. Oh,
00:43:59.250 --> 00:44:01.309
I didn't see it. I didn't see it either. But
00:44:01.309 --> 00:44:05.469
Ladies of London is coming back. Caroline Stanberry
00:44:05.469 --> 00:44:07.190
talked a little bit about her experience on the
00:44:07.190 --> 00:44:13.719
show. And I'm. thrilled i'm i'm so so so so excited
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:19.659
they they didn't give a ton of detail on it but
00:44:19.659 --> 00:44:24.940
what for for people that don't know um the the
00:44:24.940 --> 00:44:29.119
show was really focused on two two groups of
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:31.059
people one was the people that have always lived
00:44:31.059 --> 00:44:35.320
in london one was america or expats that immigrated
00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:38.059
from america to live in london then there was
00:44:38.059 --> 00:44:42.550
one um danish well she was danish royalty uh
00:44:42.550 --> 00:44:48.329
caroline fleming and the it was just it was a
00:44:48.329 --> 00:44:50.469
really interesting sociology experiment you're
00:44:50.469 --> 00:44:54.550
the dynamic of the the the original londoners
00:44:54.550 --> 00:44:56.869
looking down on the the americans because they
00:44:56.869 --> 00:45:01.070
were uncouth to say the least like it was it
00:45:01.070 --> 00:45:05.079
was good stuff um But it's coming back. It doesn't
00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:08.179
really say when it's coming back, but I do know
00:45:08.179 --> 00:45:11.619
that I am thrilled for it because that was a
00:45:11.619 --> 00:45:16.039
show that if I was ever depressed and in the
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:20.059
bed, I would watch for hours on end. That's beautiful.
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.500
It's really good. I'm excited to see it. I've
00:45:22.500 --> 00:45:24.699
never seen it. I didn't watch the original. It's
00:45:24.699 --> 00:45:29.460
really good. The other show that I'm kind of
00:45:29.460 --> 00:45:33.170
excited about is. The Real Housewives of Rhode
00:45:33.170 --> 00:45:39.090
Island is coming to Bravo. And I feel like now
00:45:39.090 --> 00:45:41.610
that we've had Potomac and Salt Lake City and
00:45:41.610 --> 00:45:45.110
I in the very beginning said to myself, I will
00:45:45.110 --> 00:45:46.949
not watch this garbage TV. I think it's going
00:45:46.949 --> 00:45:49.650
to be horrible, stupid, terrible. And those have
00:45:49.650 --> 00:45:54.070
been the two cities that I have rewatched probably
00:45:54.070 --> 00:45:58.989
the most. Yeah. I love Potomac. Yeah. So, so,
00:45:59.010 --> 00:46:02.179
so, so much. I'm excited to see Rhode Island.
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:08.920
It's like all 10 people who live there. Yes,
00:46:08.980 --> 00:46:12.159
probably. But like there's like money, like old
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.519
money in New England. And I'm thrilled about
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:17.320
that. I'm so excited. So I think that's going
00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:20.139
to be really good. I think what we're finding
00:46:20.139 --> 00:46:23.400
with I don't even want to call them mid -tier
00:46:23.400 --> 00:46:25.380
cities, but cities that you typically don't think
00:46:25.380 --> 00:46:28.380
of when you think like when you let's just call
00:46:28.380 --> 00:46:31.119
it what it is. When you think of New York. Beverly
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:36.699
Hills, Orange County, Miami, and really those
00:46:36.699 --> 00:46:39.119
those cities, you don't think of them in the
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:43.460
same category as you do. Let's just say Potomac,
00:46:43.500 --> 00:46:48.440
Salt Lake City, Dallas, Dallas, New Jersey. yeah
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:52.880
so atlanta you know oh i i i hold atlanta on
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.460
a pedestal i know but i don't think like most
00:46:55.460 --> 00:46:58.719
people do i but also no one's as obsessed with
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:04.519
the city of atlanta as i am but um so but when
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:06.860
you look at cities in the category that you would
00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:10.340
put salt lake city in and potomac you you tend
00:47:10.340 --> 00:47:14.590
to find people that are a little more willing
00:47:14.590 --> 00:47:17.269
to put it all out there and they kind of like
00:47:17.269 --> 00:47:19.510
the drama and they're not like above it all and
00:47:19.510 --> 00:47:21.650
i really they're they're more real so much more
00:47:21.650 --> 00:47:25.949
relatable too like i think that's what i love
00:47:25.949 --> 00:47:28.809
the most about potomac compared to like i've
00:47:28.809 --> 00:47:33.900
seen oc you know and it's like that If I feel
00:47:33.900 --> 00:47:36.099
like I can't connect to anyone, I'm like not
00:47:36.099 --> 00:47:38.059
interested. It's like background noise because
00:47:38.059 --> 00:47:40.139
I'm like. That's why I've come back to Orange
00:47:40.139 --> 00:47:41.920
County because I feel like I can connect to Katie
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:45.699
Janela. Yeah. So I don't know. Yeah, I'm excited.
00:47:45.860 --> 00:47:49.920
I think it'll be great. I'm I'm thrilled. I can't
00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:54.460
wait. Dear listener, we are in the homestretch
00:47:54.460 --> 00:47:58.320
when it comes to. I know it's the last two episodes.
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:02.539
So episode nine, the Book of Reckoning. Yeah.
00:48:03.670 --> 00:48:07.230
Baby. Macy goes to Jesse's house and we find
00:48:07.230 --> 00:48:10.030
out there was a cast trip to New Orleans that
00:48:10.030 --> 00:48:11.909
has apparently already been paid for. The house
00:48:11.909 --> 00:48:15.829
is already booked. And I love New Orleans to
00:48:15.829 --> 00:48:19.130
no end. So I was so excited. I always am. Potomac
00:48:19.130 --> 00:48:21.010
went to New Orleans. I was excited. This is a
00:48:21.010 --> 00:48:23.929
cool trip, though. It looked really cool. And
00:48:23.929 --> 00:48:28.409
I felt the same way when Potomac went. But and
00:48:28.409 --> 00:48:32.210
Jesse flat out says the timing is terrible, but.
00:48:32.619 --> 00:48:34.079
the trip's already paid for so i guess we're
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:37.679
going yeah yeah which honestly makes it just
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:39.719
that much juicier you know what i mean like i
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:44.480
love a poorly timed trip i do too um jesse has
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:46.739
we find out jesse has to get surgery for a partial
00:48:46.739 --> 00:48:49.280
thyroid removal because and this is something
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:51.619
that i think is really interesting is that i
00:48:51.619 --> 00:48:53.340
guess a bunch of nurses reached out to her when
00:48:53.340 --> 00:48:56.099
she started on the show i thought that was cool
00:48:56.099 --> 00:48:59.630
too like they noticed it watching her on tv that's
00:48:59.630 --> 00:49:02.329
so crazy yes they like she had a bunch of um
00:49:02.329 --> 00:49:05.289
nurses reach out to her and say hey just do me
00:49:05.289 --> 00:49:06.889
a favor go get your thyroid checked and apparently
00:49:06.889 --> 00:49:12.030
she had a couple of um nodule spots she had something
00:49:12.030 --> 00:49:17.489
like not tumors but whatever um and that because
00:49:17.489 --> 00:49:19.789
those nurses said hey go get this checked out
00:49:19.789 --> 00:49:23.650
that's how she found out there was an issue and
00:49:23.650 --> 00:49:27.590
then We get pretty quickly into New Orleans.
00:49:27.670 --> 00:49:30.150
The girls get to New Orleans and again, they
00:49:30.150 --> 00:49:36.230
love a party bus. Yeah. Jesse's still kind of
00:49:36.230 --> 00:49:39.449
unpacking her feelings about Demi. And she's
00:49:39.449 --> 00:49:41.750
she's she shares that she's really hurt in one
00:49:41.750 --> 00:49:43.969
of her confessionals. And she knows that she
00:49:43.969 --> 00:49:47.889
needs to pull Demi aside to talk about how terribly
00:49:47.889 --> 00:49:53.260
she talked about Jay -Z Styles. Right. taylor's
00:49:53.260 --> 00:49:55.739
not there right taylor doesn't go on the trip
00:49:55.739 --> 00:50:03.000
because she i this could have been one of two
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:04.739
things she didn't want to deal with the fallout
00:50:04.739 --> 00:50:08.880
from the other girls or she's actually like going
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:12.780
through a lot in her life. I think it's a combination
00:50:12.780 --> 00:50:15.460
of both. Sure. I think it's, there's trouble
00:50:15.460 --> 00:50:17.579
in paradise. She's having a really hard time
00:50:17.579 --> 00:50:19.960
with Dakota and trying to parent her children.
00:50:20.059 --> 00:50:22.559
She's also co -parenting with her ex -husband.
00:50:22.659 --> 00:50:24.800
We don't see any of that on the show, so we don't
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:28.260
really know how that's going. Um, and I think
00:50:28.260 --> 00:50:31.719
she feels unsupported at this point by all the
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:33.679
girls. So like, that's not who she would want
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:36.019
to surround herself with if she were to go on
00:50:36.019 --> 00:50:38.780
a trip while she's going through a hard time.
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:44.800
So, I agree. This is a complete side note, but
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:47.079
the Social Studies podcast with Joe Dombrowski
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:53.159
and Gaspar Randazzo have the same intro music
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:55.340
to their podcast that was playing when the girls
00:50:55.340 --> 00:50:58.079
walked into this house. And I said, oh, look
00:50:58.079 --> 00:50:59.820
at you getting royalty -free music from Adobe
00:50:59.820 --> 00:51:05.059
Stop. Come on. The budget is low. Yeah. This
00:51:05.059 --> 00:51:07.699
was an expensive trip. Another time the food
00:51:07.699 --> 00:51:10.489
looked in. Incredible. They tried to feed them
00:51:10.489 --> 00:51:13.909
Cajun food and it looked so good. So there was
00:51:13.909 --> 00:51:18.170
a the chef's name was Shaquita Sutton. And I
00:51:18.170 --> 00:51:21.929
hope I'm saying that right. This woman, you could
00:51:21.929 --> 00:51:26.590
hear it in her voice that she. knows how to cook
00:51:26.590 --> 00:51:29.210
and like there is you can throw down yeah there
00:51:29.210 --> 00:51:31.750
is nothing that i wanted more than just to try
00:51:31.750 --> 00:51:33.309
like some of the chicken and some of the rice
00:51:33.309 --> 00:51:36.070
like oh my god it looks so good it looks so good
00:51:36.070 --> 00:51:37.730
and that's coming from someone who's had cajun
00:51:37.730 --> 00:51:40.329
food i've lived in louisiana it looked so good
00:51:40.329 --> 00:51:44.610
but like also the presentation of all of it where
00:51:44.610 --> 00:51:46.949
she had it all on like the like the plating and
00:51:46.949 --> 00:51:49.489
like i was like oh she's so good at her job oh
00:51:49.489 --> 00:51:51.809
my god like i i felt so comfortable and safe
00:51:51.809 --> 00:51:55.860
i hope she like got a lot of business from that
00:51:55.860 --> 00:51:59.679
yeah i i truly hope that there was some some
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:01.380
good that came out of that for her i think oh
00:52:01.380 --> 00:52:04.800
god that looked incredible yeah um me too so
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:10.360
then jen yeah that so it it appeared that jen
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:12.300
had come straight out of therapy and sent the
00:52:12.300 --> 00:52:16.679
girls a video where she shared basically that
00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:21.360
she's in an incredibly dark place and she acknowledges
00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:24.599
that she's hurting and that maybe why she's hurt
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:27.820
the other girls because i i do believe this like
00:52:27.820 --> 00:52:33.500
hurt people hurt people 100 um and i think and
00:52:33.500 --> 00:52:35.639
i'm not being sarcastic when i say this i think
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:37.260
this is probably one of the most mature things
00:52:37.260 --> 00:52:40.480
jen has ever done yeah i think it's hard for
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:43.699
her it's hard for her to put herself out there
00:52:43.699 --> 00:52:48.199
in a way that it's authentic yeah and accepts
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:52.699
criticism like And put her out vulnerably. Yeah.
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:56.460
Yeah. She has a hard time with that. And I think
00:52:56.460 --> 00:52:59.719
a lot of people who are going through depression
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:03.699
feel that way, too. Like, it's just you're already
00:53:03.699 --> 00:53:05.820
hurting so bad. You don't want to be vulnerable.
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:09.380
to other people to make it worse and I think
00:53:09.380 --> 00:53:11.579
that's like what she's been trying to do is like
00:53:11.579 --> 00:53:13.800
protect her peace and she shouldn't have gone
00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.099
to the extent of lying especially to her husband
00:53:16.099 --> 00:53:22.079
but at least she's like showing an ounce of accountability
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:25.920
at this point like she's she's at least showing
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:27.739
like I know I'm accountable I'm just going through
00:53:27.739 --> 00:53:30.460
a hard time like give me some space and some
00:53:30.460 --> 00:53:32.460
time and hopefully we can like work through it
00:53:32.460 --> 00:53:38.139
type of thing and maybe Maybe obviously not at
00:53:38.139 --> 00:53:40.119
the reunion because she didn't do it there. But
00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:44.800
maybe after the dust settles from the way this
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:47.619
season shakes out, maybe she can come back and
00:53:47.619 --> 00:53:52.579
say, let's rebuild something. Right. I can totally
00:53:52.579 --> 00:53:55.679
see her eventually coming back and being like,
00:53:55.920 --> 00:53:59.760
hey, that was a really hard time for me. I'm
00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.639
sorry I had to drag you down with me. Can we
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:05.920
just like. create something new like start from
00:54:05.920 --> 00:54:10.480
scratch type of thing however demi's inability
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:14.300
to accept an apology she did it to taylor and
00:54:14.300 --> 00:54:16.400
then she turned around and immediately did it
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:19.440
to jane she can't accept an apology from fucking
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:23.679
anyone but i literally wrote down my god demi's
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:26.260
actually going to push me to be on jen's side
00:54:26.260 --> 00:54:29.900
and that That I never thought was going to be
00:54:29.900 --> 00:54:31.699
possible because I have been very honest about
00:54:31.699 --> 00:54:34.440
how I have felt about Jen throughout this this
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:42.760
journey. Yeah. Here's the thing. Jen sends. Let's
00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:45.639
take let's take feelings out of it for a second,
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:47.699
like feelings about the optics of the video.
00:54:48.659 --> 00:54:52.260
Jen sends you a video where she is a broken woman.
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:57.550
She is pregnant, pregnant. in a horrible state
00:54:57.550 --> 00:55:03.510
of mind yes and she comes to you as raw and as
00:55:03.510 --> 00:55:05.670
real as she can and this is coming from someone
00:55:05.670 --> 00:55:08.389
who does not fucking like her i do not like jen
00:55:08.389 --> 00:55:14.550
right now and she she was trying to just let
00:55:14.550 --> 00:55:18.199
meet you where she was at Yeah. And for Demi
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:19.900
to come back and say, I think it's weird when
00:55:19.900 --> 00:55:22.500
people do crying videos. You're a bitch. She's
00:55:22.500 --> 00:55:25.219
crying because she feels emotional for how she
00:55:25.219 --> 00:55:27.900
treated you. She's crying because she realizes
00:55:27.900 --> 00:55:30.099
that she's in a dark place and she has dragged
00:55:30.099 --> 00:55:33.400
you down with her. She is crying because she
00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:36.380
feels things. I would go as far as to say, like,
00:55:36.420 --> 00:55:38.480
maybe I didn't even think it was about any of
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:41.460
that. I think she was like, or maybe I think
00:55:41.460 --> 00:55:44.730
you're I take that back. I think she was crying
00:55:44.730 --> 00:55:47.670
because it was a culmination of all of those
00:55:47.670 --> 00:55:50.369
things. And then she like, I think the precipice
00:55:50.369 --> 00:55:52.230
of it was like, oh, my God, I fucked up. I fucked
00:55:52.230 --> 00:55:54.190
up so bad. I fucked up. And like, you know, you
00:55:54.190 --> 00:55:57.489
don't know where to put any other emotion. So
00:55:57.489 --> 00:55:59.510
you're just you just start crying. Plus, you're
00:55:59.510 --> 00:56:02.289
hormonal because you're pregnant. I'm crying
00:56:02.289 --> 00:56:05.050
all the time over nothing. And I think that's
00:56:05.050 --> 00:56:06.849
where Jen was at in that moment. And for Demi
00:56:06.849 --> 00:56:08.429
to come back and say, I think it's weird when
00:56:08.429 --> 00:56:10.860
people do that. You're. A mean girl asshole.
00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:18.059
She is a mean girl. She is so un... She... I
00:56:18.059 --> 00:56:20.199
hope she never has to apologize for anything
00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:22.780
in her life because she does not deserve forgiveness
00:56:22.780 --> 00:56:26.119
after the way she has refused to forgive her
00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:30.099
own friends. No. And she goes as far as to say
00:56:30.099 --> 00:56:33.099
it's manipulative and she doesn't buy it because
00:56:33.099 --> 00:56:36.079
it's weird and cowardly to film a crying video.
00:56:37.769 --> 00:56:39.630
She didn't put it on the Internet for everyone
00:56:39.630 --> 00:56:42.409
to see. She sent it to you. She sent it to the
00:56:42.409 --> 00:56:47.789
entire group. And she said, this is why I'm here.
00:56:48.170 --> 00:56:52.289
And I feel like I've hurt people because of where
00:56:52.289 --> 00:56:54.469
I'm at. And you weren't willing to hear that.
00:56:54.550 --> 00:56:56.849
You are the problem. And I'm not willing to hear
00:56:56.849 --> 00:56:59.150
anything else from Demi. And if you didn't want
00:56:59.150 --> 00:57:04.130
to accept her apology, I would almost be OK with
00:57:04.130 --> 00:57:09.510
you saying. at least showing some kind of respect
00:57:09.510 --> 00:57:12.030
for the fact that she tried to reach out and
00:57:12.030 --> 00:57:14.710
tell you where she is and tell you why she's
00:57:14.710 --> 00:57:18.670
hurt you. I would accept you saying, well, I
00:57:18.670 --> 00:57:20.590
get that's why you hurt me, but you still hurt
00:57:20.590 --> 00:57:23.650
me and I need time to like come to terms with
00:57:23.650 --> 00:57:25.210
that. Oh my God. Yeah. If she would have said
00:57:25.210 --> 00:57:27.869
I'm not ready yet, a hundred percent, I would
00:57:27.869 --> 00:57:29.940
have been fine with it. Yeah, but you have to
00:57:29.940 --> 00:57:32.280
forgive people. Aren't you Mormon? Aren't you
00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:35.079
supposed to be forgiving? I don't understand.
00:57:35.420 --> 00:57:37.300
There's no hate like Christian love, my love.
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:42.920
So then Macy calls out that she feels like anything
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:45.539
that anyone says will be used against them in
00:57:45.539 --> 00:57:49.630
a future argument. talking about Demi and then
00:57:49.630 --> 00:57:52.210
Demi gets or yeah gets defensive about this I
00:57:52.210 --> 00:57:54.769
love that Macy said something because I was feeling
00:57:54.769 --> 00:57:57.610
the same way about you're not going to allow
00:57:57.610 --> 00:58:01.130
anyone in this group to be vulnerable or imperfect
00:58:01.130 --> 00:58:04.969
at all right because they can't say they're sorry
00:58:04.969 --> 00:58:09.130
but so this is the thing is like okay so Taylor
00:58:09.130 --> 00:58:12.230
is was her first and then it well it was really
00:58:12.230 --> 00:58:14.809
it was Whitney then it's Taylor and then it's
00:58:14.809 --> 00:58:18.530
like Well, it's Jen now, but then it's like,
00:58:18.570 --> 00:58:20.489
at what point do all the girls start to say,
00:58:20.550 --> 00:58:23.570
oh, none of us are safe from Demi's wrath. Like,
00:58:23.630 --> 00:58:25.789
and that's it's weird to say that. But like,
00:58:25.809 --> 00:58:30.050
yeah, it's true. That's the truth that you better
00:58:30.050 --> 00:58:33.750
not tell Demi anything. Oh, yeah. You don't want
00:58:33.750 --> 00:58:37.429
to hear in a vulnerable setting because she will
00:58:37.429 --> 00:58:40.769
use the dirtiest thing to make you feel something
00:58:40.769 --> 00:58:43.829
and try to win an argument. Right. Like you can't
00:58:43.829 --> 00:58:46.460
be vulnerable with that girl at all. By the way,
00:58:46.500 --> 00:58:50.320
she doesn't even have her own face anymore. No
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:53.900
one's calling that out. Well, I think that's
00:58:53.900 --> 00:58:56.539
pretty manipulative and cowardly not to have
00:58:56.539 --> 00:58:59.860
your own face. Yeah. Oh, my God. No one's calling
00:58:59.860 --> 00:59:01.719
out the age gap between you and your husband.
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:04.219
No one's calling any of this out to your face.
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:07.360
Right. So why do you have to play so dirty? It's
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:13.980
gross. The girls go to a burlesque show. I couldn't
00:59:13.980 --> 00:59:19.480
believe they did that. I. It was like an actual
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:24.260
like burlesque show. Like, dear viewer, holes
00:59:24.260 --> 00:59:28.360
were being shown. I I've been to a burlesque
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:29.800
show. I've never been to one in New Orleans.
00:59:30.340 --> 00:59:32.880
They get a little freaky deaky in New Orleans
00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:36.019
outside of burlesque shows. So everything is
00:59:36.019 --> 00:59:39.820
like, yeah. Yes. So this woman gets up on stage
00:59:39.820 --> 00:59:43.780
and. Her tits and her puss were out. Oh, yeah.
00:59:43.980 --> 00:59:47.000
And because I've every burlesque I've ever been
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.000
to, I've seen titties at a burlesque and like
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.599
I've but mostly it's just lingerie. Yeah, typically
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:58.480
it is lingerie. But this girl, this girl, I am
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:02.460
naked on this stage. I'm naked. I am the way
01:00:02.460 --> 01:00:07.659
God made me. And then the dancer pulls a literal
01:00:07.659 --> 01:00:12.409
joint out of her cooch. Yeah. Lights it up, takes
01:00:12.409 --> 01:00:15.570
a hit. And then she walks up to Layla and says,
01:00:15.690 --> 01:00:18.030
here. And then Layla takes a hit out of her.
01:00:18.409 --> 01:00:21.989
Did you notice who was saying, oh, her, oh, her,
01:00:21.989 --> 01:00:26.530
oh, her. Was it Jenny? Of course she did. Stupid,
01:00:26.670 --> 01:00:30.769
stupid. Yeah, it was. That was. That was a lot.
01:00:30.969 --> 01:00:36.710
A lot. Go Layla. And here's the thing is. I.
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:39.340
I don't have a lot of boundaries with this stuff.
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:43.500
I don't know that I could have taken a hit off
01:00:43.500 --> 01:00:48.639
the cooch joint. Yeah, that's a little intense,
01:00:48.860 --> 01:00:53.840
especially like, you don't know this woman. You
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:58.980
didn't sign a waiver. No. No. Yeah, I don't know.
01:00:59.019 --> 01:01:04.320
I don't know. Go Layla. I was impressed. I mean,
01:01:04.340 --> 01:01:10.380
honestly, I was too. Yeah. We go back to Utah.
01:01:10.460 --> 01:01:12.760
Taylor goes to her mom's house and she talks
01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:14.619
about how she's not in a great headspace because
01:01:14.619 --> 01:01:16.320
of the Saints and Sinners party. She feels like
01:01:16.320 --> 01:01:18.119
it's better to stay home and go to therapy. I
01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:19.880
agree with her. I think Taylor is very mature
01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:23.039
for taking that stance. I think I was very grown
01:01:23.039 --> 01:01:25.860
up to be like, maybe I shouldn't be in New Orleans
01:01:25.860 --> 01:01:29.940
right now. Right. But also something that like
01:01:29.940 --> 01:01:34.449
it goes a step further to show that Taylor. doesn't
01:01:34.449 --> 01:01:37.150
care about the publicity of all of it because
01:01:37.150 --> 01:01:39.550
what what goes on behind the scenes and like
01:01:39.550 --> 01:01:42.070
the conversations that go on if you don't show
01:01:42.070 --> 01:01:45.650
up to events they will start to they will start
01:01:45.650 --> 01:01:47.469
to produce you out of the show like they've talked
01:01:47.469 --> 01:01:49.389
about it on the real housewives a lot like the
01:01:49.389 --> 01:01:54.809
reason that um oh fuck who was it uh mary cosby
01:01:54.809 --> 01:01:56.969
the reason mary cosby got written out of the
01:01:56.969 --> 01:02:00.929
the second second second or third season was
01:02:00.929 --> 01:02:03.900
that she didn't oh she she didn't get i'm sorry
01:02:03.900 --> 01:02:06.380
it was the third season the reason mary cosby
01:02:06.380 --> 01:02:08.219
didn't come back for season three is because
01:02:08.219 --> 01:02:11.340
she didn't show up to season two of or the season
01:02:11.340 --> 01:02:16.400
two reunion um yeah of salt lake city so this
01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:19.059
this is a very this could have very real impacts
01:02:19.059 --> 01:02:22.039
for taylor and she said my mental health is more
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:24.599
important so i will i do appreciate that about
01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:28.579
her yeah Yeah. We're back in New Orleans. Jesse's
01:02:28.579 --> 01:02:30.940
doing Layla's hair and Michaela is giving Miranda
01:02:30.940 --> 01:02:35.519
lymphatic massage. It was a weird, weird scene.
01:02:35.699 --> 01:02:38.840
Yeah, it was kind of strange. I do like a lymphatic
01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:42.440
massage. Like, I believe in the idea of that.
01:02:42.539 --> 01:02:45.639
I don't know what that is. Oh, so like your lymph
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:48.900
nodes. You know, the things that get swollen
01:02:48.900 --> 01:02:52.599
when you get sick, they like hold all kinds of
01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:56.320
hormones and impurities and stuff. And so a lymphatic
01:02:56.320 --> 01:03:04.239
massage is like draining that. Oh, yeah. Layla
01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:06.280
says she's a little bit high and decides now's
01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:08.059
the time to ask Demi if she ever sees herself
01:03:08.059 --> 01:03:11.500
being friends with Taylor again. First of all,
01:03:11.619 --> 01:03:16.510
you're not high. Secondly. What a strange thing
01:03:16.510 --> 01:03:22.409
to ask. It is. I think she's just trying. Poor
01:03:22.409 --> 01:03:24.809
Layla is trying to tow both sides of this line
01:03:24.809 --> 01:03:29.469
that's a mile wide. It is. And obviously Demi
01:03:29.469 --> 01:03:30.889
says no. She's not gonna be friends with her.
01:03:31.010 --> 01:03:33.070
I don't want them to be friends again. Honestly,
01:03:33.110 --> 01:03:34.469
I don't want anyone to be friends with Demi.
01:03:34.550 --> 01:03:41.369
No. All the girls are confused. about Demi rebuilding
01:03:41.369 --> 01:03:43.230
her relationship with Whitney and then it's kind
01:03:43.230 --> 01:03:45.230
of like there's a double standard and then Layla
01:03:45.230 --> 01:03:49.429
just starts disassociating again yeah and I have
01:03:49.429 --> 01:03:53.710
a feeling that part of this comes back to her
01:03:53.710 --> 01:03:56.130
childhood I wonder what kind of home she grew
01:03:56.130 --> 01:03:59.130
up in like I wonder if there was because I Taylor
01:03:59.130 --> 01:04:00.710
my cousin Taylor and I have talked a lot about
01:04:00.710 --> 01:04:06.190
this where when fights are happening around us
01:04:06.190 --> 01:04:08.590
that we're not directly involved in we will start
01:04:08.590 --> 01:04:11.599
to do exactly what Layla's doing where we will
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:13.519
just stare off into space and we will not know
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:15.000
what's going on around us because we don't want
01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:17.539
to deal with it. Yeah, I think she just doesn't
01:04:17.539 --> 01:04:21.099
want to be involved in any of it. Right. And
01:04:21.099 --> 01:04:25.719
then let's see. Demi is willing to die on the
01:04:25.719 --> 01:04:28.599
hill of believing Taylor is the problem. I believe
01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:32.000
that this is because Demi wants to be the leader
01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:34.309
of the group and make the most money. That's
01:04:34.309 --> 01:04:36.010
really what it boils down to. Oh, 100%. Yes.
01:04:36.070 --> 01:04:38.210
She can't have any grace for Taylor because if
01:04:38.210 --> 01:04:40.469
that's true, then Taylor will remain the leader
01:04:40.469 --> 01:04:45.110
of mom talk. Right. And maybe Taylor does chase
01:04:45.110 --> 01:04:49.110
chaos. Maybe she does. But do you think for one
01:04:49.110 --> 01:04:53.769
second that you are not guilty of that also,
01:04:53.869 --> 01:04:57.170
Demi? That's all you're doing. All of the girls
01:04:57.170 --> 01:04:59.210
there are guilty of that. It's like the clout
01:04:59.210 --> 01:05:02.090
chasing argument. Oh, my God. Don't don't get
01:05:02.090 --> 01:05:05.699
me started. Like, that's what you're there to
01:05:05.699 --> 01:05:11.619
do. Speaking of what they're there to do, we
01:05:11.619 --> 01:05:13.840
cut to the next morning where Layla comes down.
01:05:14.559 --> 01:05:18.940
Oh, this is messy, messy. This this was actually
01:05:18.940 --> 01:05:23.300
hard to watch. Yeah. So Layla comes down with
01:05:23.300 --> 01:05:27.320
a Walgreens bag full of. pregnancy test and says
01:05:27.320 --> 01:05:29.880
let's play pregnancy roulette and i feel like
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:32.539
i vaguely remember this being a trend on tiktok
01:05:32.539 --> 01:05:39.119
yeah it was okay it was and macy starts panicking
01:05:39.119 --> 01:05:40.300
because she's like i'm not ready to tell the
01:05:40.300 --> 01:05:42.440
girls i'm pregnant she wanted to do it on her
01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:46.860
terms yeah sure and this is something i didn't
01:05:46.860 --> 01:05:48.480
expect from layla of all people but she's like
01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:49.900
it'll be fine it'll be fine it'll be fine and
01:05:49.900 --> 01:05:52.829
like pressured the girls into doing it I remember
01:05:52.829 --> 01:05:55.369
how I said she kind of just doesn't think before
01:05:55.369 --> 01:05:57.650
she speaks. I think she just really wanted to
01:05:57.650 --> 01:06:01.289
do it. And like, she just doesn't think about
01:06:01.289 --> 01:06:03.829
the implications of what she's doing or saying.
01:06:04.110 --> 01:06:08.869
And part of me wonders. Did production put her
01:06:08.869 --> 01:06:12.949
up to this a little bit? Yeah. What car do you
01:06:12.949 --> 01:06:14.590
think she used to go buy all those pregnancy
01:06:14.590 --> 01:06:17.809
tests? OK, OK. You know what I mean? I agree.
01:06:19.110 --> 01:06:23.650
So Michaela is the first one to pull out. Wait.
01:06:23.869 --> 01:06:25.550
Yeah, I'm sorry. Michaela pulls out the first
01:06:25.550 --> 01:06:31.389
positive test. And. That's how we come to find
01:06:31.389 --> 01:06:36.469
out Michaela is also pregnant. Yeah. Well, yeah,
01:06:36.610 --> 01:06:39.190
when they're talking about it later, because
01:06:39.190 --> 01:06:44.769
there are two there are two positive tests. She
01:06:44.769 --> 01:06:47.849
tells Macy like in the privacy of their room.
01:06:48.010 --> 01:06:50.610
She's also in a confessional, too. Yeah. Yeah.
01:06:50.630 --> 01:06:56.039
Yeah. And then I will give Demi this one. Of
01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:58.360
course, she's the one to pull out the second
01:06:58.360 --> 01:07:02.920
positive one. Yeah, that that was hard to watch.
01:07:03.099 --> 01:07:05.920
And that really, really, really sucked because
01:07:05.920 --> 01:07:12.019
she has been. She has been trying to get pregnant
01:07:12.019 --> 01:07:15.699
and she starts crying. She has a full blown meltdown
01:07:15.699 --> 01:07:21.780
and. I had to take another positive test. Yes.
01:07:22.159 --> 01:07:25.219
And and like I'm sorry, she had to take another
01:07:25.219 --> 01:07:27.699
pregnancy test, which obviously came out negative.
01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:31.300
So that confirmed because neither Michaela nor
01:07:31.300 --> 01:07:34.860
Macy were willing to, like, give up their right
01:07:34.860 --> 01:07:38.659
to tell the girls how they wanted to. And even
01:07:38.659 --> 01:07:40.559
if one of them did, they would have had to do
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:44.639
both of them. And so they. Yeah, that was hard.
01:07:45.309 --> 01:07:49.610
And so Demi did think for a minute it could be
01:07:49.610 --> 01:07:52.070
her. And so then she had to go take another pregnancy
01:07:52.070 --> 01:07:55.309
test and see the negative and be like heartbroken.
01:07:55.630 --> 01:07:58.489
Yeah. I will say I hate Demi right now. That
01:07:58.489 --> 01:08:01.590
really was hard to watch. Can I say something
01:08:01.590 --> 01:08:04.570
a little insensitive? Please. If you're struggling
01:08:04.570 --> 01:08:06.849
with your fertility and you're actively trying
01:08:06.849 --> 01:08:10.789
to have a baby, why are you not sitting in the
01:08:10.789 --> 01:08:14.800
bathroom? After you take your pregnancy test
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:17.640
until you see the results of said pregnancy test
01:08:17.640 --> 01:08:24.939
before you put it in the roulette. OK, I'll get
01:08:24.939 --> 01:08:27.800
I'll go one step further and I would if I were
01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:30.779
Demi, I would have said I'm flat out not willing
01:08:30.779 --> 01:08:33.800
to participate in this game. 100 percent. Number
01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:36.819
one, it's a game. But if you're going to do it,
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:40.689
I just feel like. To avoid all of this pain that
01:08:40.689 --> 01:08:42.810
you've experienced time and time and time again
01:08:42.810 --> 01:08:46.369
with a negative test and not knowing, I would
01:08:46.369 --> 01:08:49.050
have known my result before I ever put it back
01:08:49.050 --> 01:08:52.630
in the bag. Oh, 100%. Like, I don't know why
01:08:52.630 --> 01:08:56.210
she let it actually be a roulette. And like,
01:08:56.270 --> 01:08:59.829
because this is like the obvious outcome. They're
01:08:59.829 --> 01:09:01.649
always pregnant in this group. There was going
01:09:01.649 --> 01:09:03.989
to be somebody. My God, I've never seen a group
01:09:03.989 --> 01:09:05.689
of pregnant people like this before in my life.
01:09:08.980 --> 01:09:12.760
So Jesse goes in to comfort Demi, who is now
01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:17.079
a complete and total wreck. And I thought this
01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:18.520
was big of Jesse because they're going through
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:21.560
their own stuff right now. Yeah, I do too. This
01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:23.420
is where Demi starts to lose me, where she's
01:09:23.420 --> 01:09:26.039
like, I try so hard to consider everyone else's
01:09:26.039 --> 01:09:28.239
feelings and everyone's so flippant about mine.
01:09:28.460 --> 01:09:30.899
And I was like, you have never considered another
01:09:30.899 --> 01:09:34.520
person's feelings in your life. Never. Not once.
01:09:35.039 --> 01:09:39.699
No. So then. Macy tells Michaela that she's also
01:09:39.699 --> 01:09:42.500
pregnant and she's like two weeks ahead of her.
01:09:42.819 --> 01:09:45.100
They tell each other they're pregnant. It's very
01:09:45.100 --> 01:09:46.939
sweet and cute. But then they have to go tell
01:09:46.939 --> 01:09:50.319
Demi and it's like they almost feel like ashamed
01:09:50.319 --> 01:09:54.279
because Demi's going through it. Exactly. However,
01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:58.439
Miss Fan Favorite can go to all of her fans to
01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:03.159
feel better. She can. I just. We go back to.
01:10:03.869 --> 01:10:06.029
We go back home where Taylor tells us she's deciding
01:10:06.029 --> 01:10:08.329
it's time to break things off with Dakota. And
01:10:08.329 --> 01:10:10.909
she feels at peace with that situation. And did
01:10:10.909 --> 01:10:14.310
we ever see them break up? No. And it's just
01:10:14.310 --> 01:10:16.210
like, I feel like I've heard that from her a
01:10:16.210 --> 01:10:18.210
million times. A million times. Like, how done
01:10:18.210 --> 01:10:20.270
are you actually? Are you going to stop sleeping
01:10:20.270 --> 01:10:24.710
with him? Are you going to stop leading him on?
01:10:24.949 --> 01:10:29.770
No. Because, like, what do you mean by breaking
01:10:29.770 --> 01:10:32.470
things off? You're already not together technically.
01:10:35.080 --> 01:10:38.420
So we'll see. So we go back to New Orleans. The
01:10:38.420 --> 01:10:41.159
girls are running around. They go to Cafe Du
01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:46.140
Monde and eat beignets. And they look so good.
01:10:46.340 --> 01:10:48.380
I want one. I love them. Have you been there?
01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:51.500
Oh, yeah. I want one so bad. They have a Cafe
01:10:51.500 --> 01:10:53.819
Du Monde. They have like the the one you envision,
01:10:54.020 --> 01:10:56.920
the one Kim Kardashian went to, the big one on
01:10:56.920 --> 01:10:59.859
Jackson Square. But then they also have a location
01:10:59.859 --> 01:11:03.359
like. In their city park. There are locations
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:06.260
that are like indoors. They're all delicious.
01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:10.060
Rarely will you find a bad beignet, especially
01:11:10.060 --> 01:11:14.239
in New Orleans. They're so good. I love that.
01:11:14.340 --> 01:11:17.279
And I will be eating them next week. I am so
01:11:17.279 --> 01:11:20.800
excited for you. By the dozen. Jessie decides
01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:22.939
that it's time to pull Demi aside while they're
01:11:22.939 --> 01:11:25.340
walking around a market. And she wants to hear
01:11:25.340 --> 01:11:28.760
Demi's side of the story. Of course, Demi presents
01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:32.119
it in the best way she possibly can. And Jessie
01:11:32.119 --> 01:11:34.140
feels like she's being taken advantage of because
01:11:34.140 --> 01:11:37.279
she does everyone's hair for free. And that's
01:11:37.279 --> 01:11:39.420
I didn't realize that, but that's completely
01:11:39.420 --> 01:11:45.359
valid. And I wouldn't be doing that. I just got
01:11:45.359 --> 01:11:48.579
to tell you, I if they were like my best friends.
01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:52.300
Yeah. She walks away from the conversation saying
01:11:52.300 --> 01:11:55.739
she doesn't feel better and that maybe the move
01:11:55.739 --> 01:11:59.199
is to put up a wall and keep some distance between
01:11:59.199 --> 01:12:01.000
her and Demi. And I think everyone should put
01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:03.100
up a wall around Demi and leave Demi inside of
01:12:03.100 --> 01:12:06.060
the wall. Yet again, Jesse being mature and emotionally
01:12:06.060 --> 01:12:09.560
intelligent and realizing Demi can't own her
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:12.659
mistakes. And so she'll just distance herself.
01:12:14.230 --> 01:12:17.529
The girls go back to the house and they start
01:12:17.529 --> 01:12:20.529
to unpack a little bit about the Mormon church.
01:12:20.750 --> 01:12:22.670
And then Jesse acknowledges that the church is
01:12:22.670 --> 01:12:27.949
a little culty. And this brought me back to the
01:12:27.949 --> 01:12:30.409
Nazarene church because I was like, ooh, we are
01:12:30.409 --> 01:12:32.250
going to talk about this one day because there's
01:12:32.250 --> 01:12:35.369
a lot there. So many people have had that awakening.
01:12:35.430 --> 01:12:40.670
My dad grew up Catholic. He's an atheist. My
01:12:40.670 --> 01:12:44.989
mom, too, actually. Oh, love that. Jesse says
01:12:44.989 --> 01:12:47.609
she doesn't really believe some of the stuff
01:12:47.609 --> 01:12:49.350
in the Book of Mormon, but she feels comfortable.
01:12:49.970 --> 01:12:54.770
And she also feels uncomfortable about the sealing
01:12:54.770 --> 01:12:57.329
and marriage situation in the church. And they
01:12:57.329 --> 01:12:59.310
talk about this a little bit on The Real Housewives
01:12:59.310 --> 01:13:01.609
of Salt Lake City, too. I guess the long and
01:13:01.609 --> 01:13:04.869
short of it is if you get married in the Mormon
01:13:04.869 --> 01:13:08.609
temple, your marriage is sealed. in the eyes
01:13:08.609 --> 01:13:11.109
of god and as long as it's sealed regardless
01:13:11.109 --> 01:13:13.670
of what happens in yeah it doesn't matter if
01:13:13.670 --> 01:13:17.189
you get divorced or anything yeah and that to
01:13:17.189 --> 01:13:20.949
me feels uncomfortable but then if it's unsealed
01:13:20.949 --> 01:13:23.770
you're unsealed from your entire family so like
01:13:23.770 --> 01:13:25.810
and this is this is where i come back to with
01:13:25.810 --> 01:13:27.390
like the religion thing where it's like there's
01:13:27.390 --> 01:13:29.810
always that big bad boogie man like in the afterlife
01:13:29.810 --> 01:13:37.149
to scare you because i uh because it like in
01:13:37.149 --> 01:13:39.250
uh it was i think it was miranda's situation
01:13:39.250 --> 01:13:43.310
they her husband unsealed the marriage to get
01:13:43.310 --> 01:13:46.710
sealed to another person it was i don't know
01:13:46.710 --> 01:13:49.409
miranda's marriage is unsealed so now miranda
01:13:49.409 --> 01:13:51.750
is told that she's not sealed to her children
01:13:51.750 --> 01:13:54.289
in the afterlife right yeah that's what it is
01:13:54.289 --> 01:13:58.409
sick yeah because it's like you're in in some
01:13:58.409 --> 01:14:00.930
religions you're told like oh in the afterlife
01:14:00.930 --> 01:14:02.430
you don't know who anyone is and you're just
01:14:02.430 --> 01:14:03.850
a floating ball of light in heaven or whatever
01:14:03.850 --> 01:14:07.729
and it's like Heather Gay talks about how her
01:14:07.729 --> 01:14:09.289
family always said there's never going to be
01:14:09.289 --> 01:14:13.569
empty chairs at the in heaven when she gets there.
01:14:13.630 --> 01:14:15.930
And now she feels like because she's not in that
01:14:15.930 --> 01:14:18.229
religion anymore, she feels a sense of loss there.
01:14:18.569 --> 01:14:23.260
And I hate that. Yeah. Why are you like. You're
01:14:23.260 --> 01:14:25.399
already going through struggle and strife in
01:14:25.399 --> 01:14:28.800
your living life. And now you're also creating
01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:32.239
stress about your afterlife. I just can't. But
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:33.760
that's the thing about religion that gets me
01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:35.720
so much is like, oh, my God, we're all so obsessed
01:14:35.720 --> 01:14:39.699
with dying. Seriously, you are so worried about
01:14:39.699 --> 01:14:42.659
what happens when you die. And it's like ruining
01:14:42.659 --> 01:14:47.289
your actual life. OK, I'm sorry. So the Miranda
01:14:47.289 --> 01:14:49.430
situation, she does explain that her husband
01:14:49.430 --> 01:14:51.510
removed himself from the church, which is what
01:14:51.510 --> 01:14:54.369
broke the seal from her. But because you have
01:14:54.369 --> 01:14:59.010
to have a man to be sealed to, she's no longer
01:14:59.010 --> 01:15:00.949
sealed to her children in the eyes of the church.
01:15:01.489 --> 01:15:05.189
And that I just can't subscribe to that. That's
01:15:05.189 --> 01:15:07.789
so sick. Yeah. They literally have your DNA.
01:15:07.810 --> 01:15:10.250
Like, I just can't subscribe to that way of thinking.
01:15:10.369 --> 01:15:13.289
I can't. I understand it's their religion, but
01:15:13.289 --> 01:15:16.470
like that. Has to cause you such pain. And for
01:15:16.470 --> 01:15:21.989
what? Yes. The girls go to a vampire dinner.
01:15:22.590 --> 01:15:29.229
Yeah. It was so weird. I will say in the opening
01:15:29.229 --> 01:15:31.670
shots walking there, I've never seen anyone look
01:15:31.670 --> 01:15:35.170
as incredible as Macy does. I know. My God. She
01:15:35.170 --> 01:15:37.989
was eating that up. My God. I still remember
01:15:37.989 --> 01:15:43.340
what she looked like. Yeah. What a woman. so
01:15:43.340 --> 01:15:45.239
the restaurant they get you have you are there
01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:47.060
a lot of places like this in new orleans like
01:15:47.060 --> 01:15:50.979
it feels like it's like they like the occult
01:15:50.979 --> 01:15:54.079
is what i'll say it's not like they like halloween
01:15:54.079 --> 01:15:56.319
or anything like that but they like they lean
01:15:56.319 --> 01:16:00.460
into that like demons vampires that type of thing
01:16:00.460 --> 01:16:02.600
they think everything is haunted all the time
01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:05.180
obviously there's like voodoo and stuff like
01:16:05.180 --> 01:16:08.119
that but that's like Not really fucked with as
01:16:08.119 --> 01:16:11.460
much. I mean, it's yeah, it's a touristy thing,
01:16:11.539 --> 01:16:14.579
too. Sure. And I've never been to a place like
01:16:14.579 --> 01:16:16.539
that, but that I have always known people who
01:16:16.539 --> 01:16:19.539
live there. So, like, that's why this kind of
01:16:19.539 --> 01:16:24.180
place feels like a tourist trap. So they they
01:16:24.180 --> 01:16:26.960
go in. It's witchy. It's vampire or whatever.
01:16:27.119 --> 01:16:29.600
The waiter comes out and he's wearing fangs.
01:16:30.300 --> 01:16:33.460
yeah and the drinks are in blood bags and like
01:16:33.460 --> 01:16:36.659
okay like whatever but then he says like there's
01:16:36.659 --> 01:16:38.800
virgin blood in the drinks and i know it was
01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:41.579
probably just fruit punch or whatever yeah it's
01:16:41.579 --> 01:16:44.359
i wouldn't have been able to drink whatever the
01:16:44.359 --> 01:16:46.220
drink was because i wouldn't have been able to
01:16:46.220 --> 01:16:48.239
get past that mental block i have a thing about
01:16:48.239 --> 01:16:49.840
that like and i wouldn't have been able to do
01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:53.699
that yeah it's weird I don't know. And you would
01:16:53.699 --> 01:16:56.880
think like as super religious people, like Mormons,
01:16:56.880 --> 01:17:00.739
they would be like, oh, I can't even like say
01:17:00.739 --> 01:17:04.699
I'm doing that. Oh, I'm I agree. It's shocking
01:17:04.699 --> 01:17:09.560
to me that they like were into that. I didn't
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:14.899
like it. Demi is a demon monster and the other
01:17:14.899 --> 01:17:17.649
girls are starting to see it like because. And
01:17:17.649 --> 01:17:19.829
at this point, it feels like it's becoming an
01:17:19.829 --> 01:17:21.970
obsession with Demi where it's like, I have to
01:17:21.970 --> 01:17:23.170
talk about Taylor. I have to talk about Taylor.
01:17:23.409 --> 01:17:26.569
It's like a tick almost. Yes. Well, yeah, she's
01:17:26.569 --> 01:17:28.970
like on this train of trying to replace Taylor.
01:17:29.069 --> 01:17:33.270
So she like keeps driving into it. Can't stop
01:17:33.270 --> 01:17:35.329
talking about Taylor, especially when Taylor's
01:17:35.329 --> 01:17:39.210
not there. Oh, no, because like, God forbid you
01:17:39.210 --> 01:17:41.470
ever stand on your own business. But that's neither
01:17:41.470 --> 01:17:43.630
here nor there. Yeah. If Taylor can defend herself,
01:17:43.810 --> 01:17:46.489
then you're scared. So what now? So what now?
01:17:47.719 --> 01:17:51.359
But what now is episode 10, the season finale,
01:17:51.779 --> 01:17:56.260
the book of salvation. Oh, yeah, baby. We're
01:17:56.260 --> 01:17:59.979
almost there. Listener. OK, so we open the episode.
01:18:00.220 --> 01:18:04.119
Layla brings Taylor a beignet kit. Yeah. If I
01:18:04.119 --> 01:18:06.180
don't receive a beignet kit from you when you
01:18:06.180 --> 01:18:08.779
come back from New Orleans, I will kill myself.
01:18:09.020 --> 01:18:11.239
Just so you can get them all over the place.
01:18:11.300 --> 01:18:16.470
I'll get you. So. Layla does feel like she needs
01:18:16.470 --> 01:18:18.430
to make up for not fully having Taylor's back.
01:18:19.590 --> 01:18:24.010
And this. The more and more I think about the
01:18:24.010 --> 01:18:27.329
way the rest of this scene went, Taylor's mom
01:18:27.329 --> 01:18:32.369
has to be talking to production directly. You
01:18:32.369 --> 01:18:35.909
would say there's no doubt in my mind. And I
01:18:35.909 --> 01:18:38.949
think they're doing her dirty because like they
01:18:38.949 --> 01:18:42.180
are. Putting her in situations where she looks
01:18:42.180 --> 01:18:43.659
like the idiot and they're not telling her how
01:18:43.659 --> 01:18:48.800
to handle it. So Taylor's mom shows up and she
01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:53.699
they're talking about the Christmas party that
01:18:53.699 --> 01:18:59.319
Demi's hosting and. Taylor's like, I guess like,
01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:01.479
like I've, I've bought all the stuff for, and
01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:03.439
Layla's like, you're not invited, babe. What
01:19:03.439 --> 01:19:06.020
are you talking about? And we find out like she
01:19:06.020 --> 01:19:08.800
was accidentally invited, which that's a real
01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:12.439
kick in the dick. But Taylor's mom is sitting
01:19:12.439 --> 01:19:19.000
there. She's like, I could go. She's so weird.
01:19:19.500 --> 01:19:22.239
Desperate to be on that show. She wants all the
01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:26.119
screen time possible, but she also is like, If
01:19:26.119 --> 01:19:29.359
my mom acted like that on TV or not, I would
01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:37.819
be so humiliated. Oh, to say the least. Knowing
01:19:37.819 --> 01:19:41.659
how this shakes out, though, I'm kind of OK with
01:19:41.659 --> 01:19:44.960
Leanne offering to insert herself. I don't know
01:19:44.960 --> 01:19:49.619
that I am. But I also am obviously not like Taylor,
01:19:49.680 --> 01:19:51.880
because if my mom would have even said, well,
01:19:51.939 --> 01:19:55.359
I can show up, I would have been like. No, you
01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:58.819
won't. No, please don't. Denise would not have
01:19:58.819 --> 01:20:01.319
known that this party was happening. No, but
01:20:01.319 --> 01:20:05.039
like, I don't know. That's the difference between
01:20:05.039 --> 01:20:07.060
me and Taylor, I guess. I would have been like,
01:20:07.079 --> 01:20:10.479
hard no. Absolutely not. Why does she want to
01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:13.380
deal with her grown daughter's problems for her?
01:20:13.520 --> 01:20:15.119
Make her face it. She doesn't want to deal with
01:20:15.119 --> 01:20:18.020
the problems. She wants to be on TV. Yeah. I
01:20:18.020 --> 01:20:20.479
think that's a universal truth we all need to
01:20:20.479 --> 01:20:25.460
accept. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. So we get to
01:20:25.460 --> 01:20:29.340
the Christmas party. I hate it that Demi looks
01:20:29.340 --> 01:20:31.479
gorgeous. Like she looks really good. She looks
01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:33.640
stunning at the Christmas party. It pissed me
01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:37.079
off. There's a champagne toast and Demi says,
01:20:37.199 --> 01:20:38.779
I feel like there's going to be minimal drama
01:20:38.779 --> 01:20:42.439
because Taylor's not here. Then Leanne immediately
01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:49.159
walks in holding a gift. Yeah. Hi, Leanne. We
01:20:49.159 --> 01:20:53.380
get a flashback to. Leanne calling Whitney and
01:20:53.380 --> 01:20:55.539
saying, why didn't you show up to Taylor's baby
01:20:55.539 --> 01:20:59.159
shower? And this is also embarrassing for Taylor.
01:20:59.319 --> 01:21:04.939
Yeah. Weird. Leanne and Demi go to sit down and
01:21:04.939 --> 01:21:09.659
talk and. So I'm conflicted about this. I know
01:21:09.659 --> 01:21:12.939
I've given Leanne a lot of shit and like I think
01:21:12.939 --> 01:21:18.220
she deserves it most of the time. I. If you look
01:21:18.220 --> 01:21:22.810
at it in for nothing else, but. this is a mom
01:21:22.810 --> 01:21:26.409
who's willing to show up for her daughter sure
01:21:26.409 --> 01:21:32.130
sure i do think that that's not quite what this
01:21:32.130 --> 01:21:35.010
is but like i will say maybe that was part of
01:21:35.010 --> 01:21:37.350
it maybe that's why taylor was so desperate not
01:21:37.350 --> 01:21:39.989
not i think taylor's been desperate for her mom
01:21:39.989 --> 01:21:42.510
to defend her for most of her life and i think
01:21:42.510 --> 01:21:44.850
maybe this is why taylor was like i'll give her
01:21:44.850 --> 01:21:49.770
that whatever i don't know yeah i mean it's Obviously,
01:21:49.789 --> 01:21:52.090
you'd love to see a mom standing up for her daughter,
01:21:52.170 --> 01:21:57.289
but it's like, I don't know. Doing it in the
01:21:57.289 --> 01:21:59.489
most dramatic way possible to be on TV makes
01:21:59.489 --> 01:22:03.930
it a little less genuine to me. But what's even
01:22:03.930 --> 01:22:08.149
more awkward than Leanne's mom showing up? I'm
01:22:08.149 --> 01:22:10.489
sorry, what's even more awkward than Leanne showing
01:22:10.489 --> 01:22:13.409
up to talk to Demi is Whitney walking over to
01:22:13.409 --> 01:22:17.649
have Demi's back. Whitney needs to mind her business.
01:22:18.109 --> 01:22:20.890
Honest to God. Whitney, you're invited to this
01:22:20.890 --> 01:22:24.270
party. Leave well enough alone. Yeah, please
01:22:24.270 --> 01:22:31.909
be grateful for your seat and go away. So Demi
01:22:31.909 --> 01:22:34.149
talks about how she's also been a single mom
01:22:34.149 --> 01:22:37.850
in the past when when it comes up like Taylor
01:22:37.850 --> 01:22:41.000
doesn't feel supported. And then. She's comparing
01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:42.720
herself to Taylor, talking about how she's also
01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:44.140
been a single mom. And then we get to Jessie
01:22:44.140 --> 01:22:46.060
saying, Demi was a single mom for one month.
01:22:47.180 --> 01:22:50.579
That made me cackle when I watched it. I was
01:22:50.579 --> 01:22:53.619
so dead. And what I appreciate about Jessie is
01:22:53.619 --> 01:22:57.640
she's not going to let you get it. Not after
01:22:57.640 --> 01:23:00.779
you talk shit about her business. Tell it like
01:23:00.779 --> 01:23:05.119
it is, Jessie. Brett was kind of standing over
01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:07.039
on the sidelines. And what I do appreciate about
01:23:07.039 --> 01:23:10.779
Brett that I don't think a lot of. husbands on
01:23:10.779 --> 01:23:15.359
reality tv especially real housewives um he did
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:18.800
what a lot of them don't do is that he was over
01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:21.800
just kind of letting the conversation play out
01:23:21.800 --> 01:23:24.840
how it was going to he never once said oh look
01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:26.659
at those women over there doing women things
01:23:26.659 --> 01:23:29.260
like he just said i'm staying out of it entirely
01:23:29.260 --> 01:23:33.100
and only inserted himself when santa shows up
01:23:33.100 --> 01:23:38.550
and that was and part of me is like Could he
01:23:38.550 --> 01:23:40.609
have done a better job defending his wife? Maybe.
01:23:41.289 --> 01:23:44.189
I don't think it was his place to defend her.
01:23:44.250 --> 01:23:46.430
I think she was having a conversation with another
01:23:46.430 --> 01:23:49.829
grown woman and she can hold her own in that.
01:23:50.850 --> 01:23:55.069
Yeah. Leanne decides it's time to head out and
01:23:55.069 --> 01:24:01.210
Demi says to Leanne, I haven't even pulled out
01:24:01.210 --> 01:24:06.350
the boxing gloves yet. She's so petty. Well,
01:24:06.369 --> 01:24:10.720
and this is where I'm like, Okay, so you're going
01:24:10.720 --> 01:24:14.359
out of your way to, like, to annihilate her entire
01:24:14.359 --> 01:24:19.500
family at this point. Yeah. I think that if you
01:24:19.500 --> 01:24:21.039
were going to be an asshole to Leanne, you should
01:24:21.039 --> 01:24:22.680
have said you're not welcome here. I'm not. It's
01:24:22.680 --> 01:24:23.899
not a conversation I'm willing to participate
01:24:23.899 --> 01:24:25.819
in. You sit down with her. You have the conversation.
01:24:25.899 --> 01:24:27.880
You basically say your daughter's a cunt. How
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:30.640
dare you show up and defend her? And you're this
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:32.420
is Taylor not being willing to show up and like
01:24:32.420 --> 01:24:34.739
fight her own battles. And now you're saying,
01:24:34.819 --> 01:24:36.939
oh, I haven't even pulled up the box. What are
01:24:36.939 --> 01:24:38.300
you going to do? Tell me what you're going to
01:24:38.300 --> 01:24:42.460
do. If you had anything to say, you had an hour
01:24:42.460 --> 01:24:45.760
to say it while you were talking to Leanne. Right.
01:24:45.880 --> 01:24:50.600
And. So Leanne leaves in tears and then all the
01:24:50.600 --> 01:24:53.479
women kind of rally around and like hug Leanne
01:24:53.479 --> 01:24:55.819
and say like, yeah, that was kind of fucked up
01:24:55.819 --> 01:24:59.659
and disrespectful. Yeah, that was a lot. Demi
01:24:59.659 --> 01:25:02.399
decides it's time to open the gift and it ends
01:25:02.399 --> 01:25:04.920
up being a PR box from Jay -Z Styles. Yes. Jay
01:25:04.920 --> 01:25:07.319
-Z had no idea what was in that box and I think
01:25:07.319 --> 01:25:10.680
that made it even better. I know, 100%. Was it
01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:13.500
petty? Yes, but this wouldn't have been a thing
01:25:13.500 --> 01:25:15.720
if you wouldn't have put yourself in that situation,
01:25:16.079 --> 01:25:20.220
you asshole. It was meant to be petty and you
01:25:20.220 --> 01:25:23.060
made it. You were petty first. You can't get
01:25:23.060 --> 01:25:24.899
mad at someone for being petty when you were
01:25:24.899 --> 01:25:26.779
petty with them. And P .S., you just screamed
01:25:26.779 --> 01:25:31.380
at their mom. Yes. So then Demi says we should
01:25:31.380 --> 01:25:32.899
all have a board meeting to figure out who's
01:25:32.899 --> 01:25:37.000
in and who's out of mom talk. Of course. Of course
01:25:37.000 --> 01:25:42.060
she does. Next scene, Macy goes to visit her
01:25:42.060 --> 01:25:46.859
former boyfriend, Eric's parents. This made me
01:25:46.859 --> 01:25:52.340
cry and cry and cry. I yeah. This is also when
01:25:52.340 --> 01:25:55.819
they visit the crash site, right? It comes later.
01:25:56.760 --> 01:26:03.239
So. We find out that Macy's been super open with
01:26:03.239 --> 01:26:08.060
her son Hudson about his dad and. Yeah, because
01:26:08.060 --> 01:26:10.079
Eric has passed away. For those who don't know
01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:11.800
what we're talking about. Right. Eric passed
01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:14.800
away in a car accident. And she tells Eric's
01:26:14.800 --> 01:26:17.640
mom that she wants to share this story in her
01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:20.180
book, but she feels like she hasn't fully grieved
01:26:20.180 --> 01:26:23.279
about losing him. And she shares that she hasn't
01:26:23.279 --> 01:26:26.939
even been to the crash site yet. Yeah. Eric's
01:26:26.939 --> 01:26:31.779
mom is incredibly sweet. And I feel like for
01:26:31.779 --> 01:26:35.699
a mom that lost her kid to be able to a come
01:26:35.699 --> 01:26:40.220
on camera. And B, talk about this and hold it
01:26:40.220 --> 01:26:43.600
together the way she did. That's pretty incredible.
01:26:44.020 --> 01:26:49.640
Yeah. And then she encourages Macy to to kind
01:26:49.640 --> 01:26:52.159
of work through the grieving and then to just
01:26:52.159 --> 01:26:54.300
live because that's what Eric would have wanted.
01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:57.960
I think everyone at some point says that to people
01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:01.899
that, you know, like. have lost someone but like
01:27:01.899 --> 01:27:05.060
yeah but you do have to face it because it's
01:27:05.060 --> 01:27:08.539
so easy to just like give up you know what I
01:27:08.539 --> 01:27:14.279
mean right yeah um Dakota picks Everett from
01:27:14.279 --> 01:27:17.659
Leanne's house and he says that being apart from
01:27:17.659 --> 01:27:21.539
Taylor is what's best right now great I'm glad
01:27:21.539 --> 01:27:23.279
you think that I'm glad you're telling us you
01:27:23.279 --> 01:27:29.840
think that yeah okay anyway anyway Yeah, so then
01:27:29.840 --> 01:27:36.020
we go to Jesse's salon. Jesse gives us an update
01:27:36.020 --> 01:27:40.319
about her thyroid. I didn't realize they have
01:27:40.319 --> 01:27:42.239
to like slit your throat open to do that surgery.
01:27:42.600 --> 01:27:44.979
Yeah, your thyroid's like right here. I don't
01:27:44.979 --> 01:27:48.020
know where I thought your thyroid was, but yeah,
01:27:49.039 --> 01:27:51.899
so luckily everything came back clean. Jesse's
01:27:51.899 --> 01:27:55.840
got a clean bill of health. Macy shows up to
01:27:55.840 --> 01:27:58.550
get extensions for her mom and. Jessie immediately
01:27:58.550 --> 01:28:01.789
knows exactly what kind of extensions her mom
01:28:01.789 --> 01:28:04.029
needs. Oh, the way she walked in and she was
01:28:04.029 --> 01:28:06.090
like, oh, well, your mom uses this and this.
01:28:06.229 --> 01:28:09.369
I thought that was so sweet. Like, it made me
01:28:09.369 --> 01:28:11.489
feel safe. You can tell that she, like, genuinely
01:28:11.489 --> 01:28:13.989
cares about hair. Like, she's passionate about
01:28:13.989 --> 01:28:17.350
it and she applies herself to it. I agree. And
01:28:17.350 --> 01:28:18.930
then they start to unpack the situation with
01:28:18.930 --> 01:28:21.890
Demi and they both agree that Demi's not being
01:28:21.890 --> 01:28:27.239
a good friend. Yeah. I think. Those are the two
01:28:27.239 --> 01:28:30.199
most mature people like in this whole show, Macy
01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:33.359
and Jesse. Million percent. Yes. And for them
01:28:33.359 --> 01:28:37.159
to sit down and be like, I can't really give
01:28:37.159 --> 01:28:40.800
any grace to Demi. Both of them speaks volumes
01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:44.319
like she's not being a good person. I agree.
01:28:45.380 --> 01:28:48.800
We cut to the mom talk meeting at Jesse's house.
01:28:49.220 --> 01:28:54.350
Mm hmm. All the girls show up and then before
01:28:54.350 --> 01:28:55.949
Taylor, but then Taylor shows up a little bit
01:28:55.949 --> 01:28:58.590
late. It is as awkward as anything has ever been.
01:28:58.909 --> 01:29:01.850
Yeah. I guess Taylor and Demi haven't talked
01:29:01.850 --> 01:29:06.210
since the Saints and Sinners party. And they
01:29:06.210 --> 01:29:12.630
all sit down, talk. And there's kind of a consensus
01:29:12.630 --> 01:29:16.090
that mom talk as an existing in the spirit in
01:29:16.090 --> 01:29:19.729
which it was originally intended. Yeah. Which.
01:29:20.920 --> 01:29:23.359
it's true and they're not having fun anymore
01:29:23.359 --> 01:29:25.960
and i think that's right i'm glad that they acknowledge
01:29:25.960 --> 01:29:29.000
that it was supposed to be a fun thing and they're
01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:32.340
not supposed to be posting tiktoks and uplifting
01:29:32.340 --> 01:29:35.079
each other i feel like if anything they became
01:29:35.079 --> 01:29:39.800
like too close for comfort where like they're
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:42.460
having trouble uplifting each other partially
01:29:42.460 --> 01:29:47.149
because they are like best friends now or like
01:29:47.149 --> 01:29:50.390
at least acting like best friends right and it's
01:29:50.390 --> 01:29:54.810
like you can't like keep them at an arm's length
01:29:54.810 --> 01:29:58.250
when you when you're so close yeah it's not business
01:29:58.250 --> 01:30:03.189
anymore right and it's like it's obvious they're
01:30:03.189 --> 01:30:05.090
not having fun and so i'm glad that they were
01:30:05.090 --> 01:30:06.789
like aware enough to bring that to attention
01:30:06.789 --> 01:30:13.699
right um miranda is Like her name comes up and
01:30:13.699 --> 01:30:15.039
the girls agree to give her a little bit more
01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:17.260
time to become part of the group. I thought that
01:30:17.260 --> 01:30:19.560
was fair since she didn't really like have much
01:30:19.560 --> 01:30:22.659
of a storyline this season. We didn't hear from
01:30:22.659 --> 01:30:26.479
her that much. Sure. I don't know. I like Miranda.
01:30:26.859 --> 01:30:28.800
I like her too. I like her a lot. I would have
01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:30.640
been happy if they voted her and I just thought
01:30:30.640 --> 01:30:35.319
like, OK, that makes sense. Whitney comes up
01:30:35.319 --> 01:30:39.529
and. taylor's response actually shocked me a
01:30:39.529 --> 01:30:41.109
little bit because she said she felt like she
01:30:41.109 --> 01:30:43.909
was the only one that stuck up for her and yeah
01:30:43.909 --> 01:30:47.409
that has backfired on her so she's not voting
01:30:47.409 --> 01:30:52.850
yes but she's like whatever and the rest of the
01:30:52.850 --> 01:30:55.789
girls say okay whatever so majority rules and
01:30:56.439 --> 01:30:59.880
She's back in mom talk. Whitney has never been
01:30:59.880 --> 01:31:02.619
happier. She was over the moon. She was happier
01:31:02.619 --> 01:31:05.619
about this than she was about her baby. I'm telling
01:31:05.619 --> 01:31:09.760
you. She was thrilled. I was honestly like, this
01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:16.859
is mental illness. Taylor says that Demi shouldn't
01:31:16.859 --> 01:31:19.359
be part of the group, though. And Demi is as
01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:24.699
hateful as anyone has ever been to Taylor. brings
01:31:24.699 --> 01:31:30.260
the venom out it was this was ugly like ugly
01:31:30.260 --> 01:31:34.399
and this all comes back to the ultimatum that
01:31:34.399 --> 01:31:36.159
she gave the group where she said if taylor's
01:31:36.159 --> 01:31:38.619
in i'm out yeah she didn't think taylor was gonna
01:31:38.619 --> 01:31:41.600
find out about this which is so stupid how can
01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:43.539
you think taylor's not gonna find out you said
01:31:43.539 --> 01:31:46.460
that right sorry so demi calls taylor disgusting
01:31:46.460 --> 01:31:49.840
human being and when Not a single soul backs
01:31:49.840 --> 01:31:51.899
her up. Of course, she immediately starts crying.
01:31:52.039 --> 01:31:54.119
And of course, she throws herself on the cross
01:31:54.119 --> 01:31:56.340
talking about how how she's such a good friend.
01:31:56.520 --> 01:31:59.180
And she would be fighting to the death for any
01:31:59.180 --> 01:32:03.220
of the other girls. And which is so funny because
01:32:03.220 --> 01:32:04.939
you were just trying to get them off the show.
01:32:06.239 --> 01:32:08.460
She decides she's going to take some time to
01:32:08.460 --> 01:32:11.100
decide if staying in mom talk is the right thing
01:32:11.100 --> 01:32:13.159
to do. And she goes and she says, if the girl
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.079
if you girls don't mind. And Taylor goes, yeah,
01:32:15.100 --> 01:32:25.260
we don't mind. I think when I watched this, I
01:32:25.260 --> 01:32:28.520
thought Demi was scared she was about to be voted
01:32:28.520 --> 01:32:31.300
out for the way that she was venomous all season
01:32:31.300 --> 01:32:34.180
long. So she removed herself before they could
01:32:34.180 --> 01:32:36.699
take a vote. I agree. That's what I think. You're
01:32:36.699 --> 01:32:43.560
100 percent right. And. The girls decide that
01:32:43.560 --> 01:32:45.300
in this moment, we're going to be better off
01:32:45.300 --> 01:32:48.279
without Demi because I think mom talk can finally
01:32:48.279 --> 01:32:51.619
start to heal. Sounds like she should just stay
01:32:51.619 --> 01:32:57.579
gone. I hope so. So the next day, Macy and Michaela
01:32:57.579 --> 01:33:03.840
go to Eric's crash site. And this was. This was
01:33:03.840 --> 01:33:09.689
obviously a big deal for Macy and. While I've
01:33:09.689 --> 01:33:12.390
had a hard time with Michaela this season, I
01:33:12.390 --> 01:33:15.210
think Michaela was a very, very, very good friend
01:33:15.210 --> 01:33:18.989
to her. I think the whole season Michaela was
01:33:18.989 --> 01:33:23.449
a good friend to Macy. Yes, but I think in this
01:33:23.449 --> 01:33:27.930
moment she showed the hell up. She did. She did.
01:33:28.029 --> 01:33:30.630
And this is a hard this had to be a hard thing
01:33:30.630 --> 01:33:33.149
because I've never been to the crash site where
01:33:33.149 --> 01:33:35.689
Jack's dad got in an accident. I've never been
01:33:35.689 --> 01:33:38.140
there. And, like, I can't imagine going there.
01:33:38.380 --> 01:33:42.699
Right. So, like, props to her for being so strong.
01:33:42.939 --> 01:33:45.460
Yes. I, again, cried and cried and cried and
01:33:45.460 --> 01:33:51.760
cried. But, like, yeah, I couldn't believe, like,
01:33:51.840 --> 01:33:54.939
that was such an emotional thing. And that's
01:33:54.939 --> 01:33:56.859
why I think we should read her book. I think
01:33:56.859 --> 01:33:58.380
I said this, like, a few episodes back. You'll
01:33:58.380 --> 01:34:01.680
get to the point where I think we should read
01:34:01.680 --> 01:34:04.340
her book because I can relate. And that's it.
01:34:05.400 --> 01:34:09.960
Absolutely. I've already pre -ordered it. I'll
01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:13.619
pre -order you a copy too. I'll get it. It's
01:34:13.619 --> 01:34:16.199
already too late. I'm doing it right now. I don't
01:34:16.199 --> 01:34:18.159
like e -books so I need a physical copy. I'll
01:34:18.159 --> 01:34:22.739
buy you a physical copy. Macy opens up about
01:34:22.739 --> 01:34:26.659
how she and Eric were in a fight when he passed
01:34:26.659 --> 01:34:30.060
and she actually found out about him passing
01:34:30.060 --> 01:34:32.579
from an Instagram post from one of his friends.
01:34:34.829 --> 01:34:37.630
I cannot imagine, like, being in a fight with
01:34:37.630 --> 01:34:42.470
someone and, like, you don't even know what you
01:34:42.470 --> 01:34:46.109
have left that's unsaid. And mind you, she didn't
01:34:46.109 --> 01:34:49.250
have to say this on the show. I think she is
01:34:49.250 --> 01:34:55.189
so strong for being that honest about her mindset
01:34:55.189 --> 01:34:59.569
and where she was when this happened. Like, wow.
01:35:01.130 --> 01:35:04.239
Yeah. I like the fact that she can admit to herself
01:35:04.239 --> 01:35:09.859
and to all of America that like they were in
01:35:09.859 --> 01:35:12.439
an argument when this happened. Like she didn't,
01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:15.100
no one made her say that. No one made her say
01:35:15.100 --> 01:35:17.680
anything. I really like respect her. Well, that's
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:20.180
the thing is like. This is what I really appreciate
01:35:20.180 --> 01:35:22.300
about Macy is that she had the chance to rewrite
01:35:22.300 --> 01:35:24.619
a narrative here. She had the chance to say like,
01:35:24.699 --> 01:35:27.600
no, everything was fine. And she said, no, we
01:35:27.600 --> 01:35:29.159
were fighting. And I said some pretty horrific
01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:31.720
shit to him. And I regret what I said. Yeah.
01:35:32.340 --> 01:35:36.560
That's huge. Yeah. And then and again, Michaela
01:35:36.560 --> 01:35:40.399
comes out of the car with Macy and. And, you
01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:42.279
know, I feel about the whole religion thing,
01:35:42.380 --> 01:35:45.090
but like. And Michaela says, do you want me to
01:35:45.090 --> 01:35:46.989
say a little prayer? And like, I think in that
01:35:46.989 --> 01:35:49.670
moment, Macy really, really, really needed that.
01:35:50.090 --> 01:35:53.569
Yeah. And I'm going to cry about it now. Yeah,
01:35:53.569 --> 01:35:57.489
that was Macy was just or Michaela was a really
01:35:57.489 --> 01:36:00.390
good friend to Macy in that moment. One hundred
01:36:00.390 --> 01:36:03.369
percent. She was there for her in every capacity,
01:36:03.550 --> 01:36:06.630
but she also didn't like. She didn't make it
01:36:06.630 --> 01:36:09.409
more dramatic than it needed to be. She didn't
01:36:09.409 --> 01:36:11.890
drag it out. She didn't ask Macy a hundred times
01:36:11.890 --> 01:36:14.890
how she's feeling. She just let it be this. And
01:36:14.890 --> 01:36:18.189
she also said this is for Macy. This is for Macy
01:36:18.189 --> 01:36:20.510
to heal. And I am just here to support that.
01:36:20.590 --> 01:36:25.069
And that was huge. Yeah, I do think she's a really
01:36:25.069 --> 01:36:27.010
good friend to Macy. I think the problem with
01:36:27.010 --> 01:36:31.250
Michaela is that she's very. choosy with who
01:36:31.250 --> 01:36:33.829
she will be friends with. But when she's friends
01:36:33.829 --> 01:36:35.630
with someone, I think she's a pretty good friend.
01:36:35.829 --> 01:36:42.569
Yeah. So we come to the last scene of the season.
01:36:44.510 --> 01:36:48.430
Where Layla goes up to me, meet up with Marciano
01:36:48.430 --> 01:36:53.550
and Lord have mercy. You know exactly what I'm
01:36:53.550 --> 01:36:56.409
going to say about this man. Lord have mercy.
01:36:59.169 --> 01:37:02.029
marciano they get up to i guess his hotel room
01:37:02.029 --> 01:37:04.909
i don't know marciano pours himself a glass of
01:37:04.909 --> 01:37:08.689
straight tequila yeah a glass mind you not a
01:37:08.689 --> 01:37:12.670
double shot not a shot in a glass a full glass
01:37:12.670 --> 01:37:17.449
there are probably four or five shots just like
01:37:17.449 --> 01:37:20.569
in this cup no ice i mean it's a hardened alcoholic
01:37:20.569 --> 01:37:26.859
oh a hundred percent um Layla asked some questions
01:37:26.859 --> 01:37:29.859
about what went down between him and Demi. And
01:37:29.859 --> 01:37:32.479
Marciano says he thought it was a swinger situation
01:37:32.479 --> 01:37:36.140
and then he tried to kiss Demi. And then he tells
01:37:36.140 --> 01:37:40.420
a story about him and Jesse. And we get some
01:37:40.420 --> 01:37:45.340
context flashbacks about the rumors about them.
01:37:46.060 --> 01:37:49.449
Kissing in the bar. Yeah, Tom, Tom and Sir. And
01:37:49.449 --> 01:37:52.710
my God, Lisa Vanderpump, this is a field day
01:37:52.710 --> 01:37:55.789
for her. Every single one of her. She is thrilled.
01:37:56.710 --> 01:38:03.649
She is so happy. And then we we end on the cliffhanger
01:38:03.649 --> 01:38:07.789
where he says they fucked and it was a full blown
01:38:07.789 --> 01:38:12.069
affair. Yeah. And that's the end of the season,
01:38:12.130 --> 01:38:15.149
the end of the episode until the reunion. We'll
01:38:15.149 --> 01:38:19.399
talk about the reunion next time. But. Oh, whoa.
01:38:20.479 --> 01:38:24.819
I just it's just so out of left field. There's
01:38:24.819 --> 01:38:28.100
a lot there because like Jesse was my favorite
01:38:28.100 --> 01:38:31.880
all season. And so it's like I she's still my
01:38:31.880 --> 01:38:34.079
favorite. Her and Macy are still my favorites.
01:38:34.140 --> 01:38:36.640
Yeah. Number one. Number two. I don't know that
01:38:36.640 --> 01:38:40.359
I buy it. I don't know that I do either. We'll
01:38:40.359 --> 01:38:43.060
talk about it more because of the reunion. But
01:38:43.060 --> 01:38:47.210
like. I just don't know who's telling the truth
01:38:47.210 --> 01:38:51.250
at this point. No, I don't either. That's the
01:38:51.250 --> 01:38:54.289
end of the season. Yep, that's the end of the
01:38:54.289 --> 01:38:57.630
season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Dear
