one of the bedbugs ate my podcast title.

This week’s episode is pure chaos in the best way possible. Travis and Emma are back with your favorite combo of pop culture commentary, deeply unserious opinions, and a little moral outrage.

First up: CupcakKe’s new track, It’s iconic. It’s unhinged. It’s art. Travis and Emma break down their favorite (insane) lyrics and give CupcakKe her flowers as the lyrical genius she is.

Then it’s time to complain, obviously. From waiting behind a soda-fueled van-load of children at Swig to the rise of the 4AM Club conspiracy theorists on TikTok, your besties spiral through cultural nonsense like only they can.

Reality Roundup:

  • Love Island USA has lost the plot. It’s supposed to be about being hot and making out, not finding your “forever person.”
  • The Traitors season 4 cast announcement drops, and the besties give their hilarious (and surprisingly insightful) commentary. Candace Dillard, Lisa Rinna, Dorinda, and more? We’re IN.
  • Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: The first two episodes are out, and the tea is piping hot. Taylor vs. Dakota. Jen is lying. Miranda might be telling the truth? Taylor’s mom wants to be Taylor? There’s a lot to unpack.

Bonus: A very special guest joins the pod this week. Emma’s son, Jack, drops by to give listeners a special message.

WEBVTT

00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:15.849
I'm Travis. And I'm Emma. What's the last song

00:00:15.849 --> 00:00:18.929
you listened to? Um, that's a good question.

00:00:19.429 --> 00:00:22.769
Oh, Ivy by Frank Ocean. Oh, that's a good one.

00:00:23.170 --> 00:00:28.050
I listened to Drinkin' by Joel Corey, MK, and

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:30.890
Rita Ora. I don't know it, but I know I would

00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:33.509
like it. I know you would too, because it's Rita

00:00:33.509 --> 00:00:35.530
Ora just going, drinkin' all night, drinkin'

00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:38.009
all night. Yeah, that's beautiful. I love it.

00:00:38.009 --> 00:00:42.200
That's exactly what I wanted it to be. We have

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.280
a lot this week. Yeah, well, okay, so this episode,

00:00:47.299 --> 00:00:50.340
we're going to complain, and then we have a lot

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:52.759
to talk about in the realm of reality television.

00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.200
We've got to go through Secret Lives of Mormon

00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.920
Wives, Jesus, and talk about the Traitors cast,

00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:04.900
and then I also have to let out some opinions

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:09.939
about Love Island. I must. I just, it's insanity.

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:15.019
So do you want to start with complaining or do

00:01:15.019 --> 00:01:17.519
you want to start with your child or do you want

00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.719
to start with Cupcake's new song? Let's start

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.659
with Cupcake's new song, shall we? Cupcake. Have

00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:33.980
you heard it yet? No. Is it great? Hang on. I

00:01:33.980 --> 00:01:36.819
don't. I'm going to play a little clip, but I

00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:39.569
don't want to get copyrighted in our first. 10

00:01:39.569 --> 00:01:42.569
episodes. You know what I mean? Emma's going

00:01:42.569 --> 00:01:44.310
to listen to it. We're going to we're going to

00:01:44.310 --> 00:01:47.209
reconvene. It's it's literally called one of

00:01:47.209 --> 00:01:49.450
the bedbugs ate my pussy. Hang on. Let me make

00:01:49.450 --> 00:01:51.329
sure I have this right. Is it about sleeping

00:01:51.329 --> 00:01:55.409
naked? No, no. That's what it gives. Has nothing

00:01:55.409 --> 00:01:57.209
to do with that. It's called one of my bedbugs

00:01:57.209 --> 00:02:00.129
ate my pussy. That's beautiful. And I'll listen

00:02:00.129 --> 00:02:08.110
to it and we'll be right back. So we're back.

00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:13.139
Emma just heard it. That was iconic. She is the

00:02:13.139 --> 00:02:15.819
voice of our generation. The beat is actually

00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:21.259
so good. Yeah, like if you could censor the lyrics,

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:24.199
which you just could not possibly do to that

00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.479
song, I would bump it in the car. But that can't

00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.740
be censored. That can't be for public consumption.

00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.159
I loved it. I loved it. I think the title makes

00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.560
me think about sleeping naked. That's why I can't

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.979
sleep naked, because I feel like bugs and dust

00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.780
and lint are going to be all in my coochie. But

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:52.159
that's not what it was about. No, but I want

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:56.439
to call out three of my favorite lyrics. Yeah.

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.319
L .A. fires wouldn't happen if a bitch just squirt.

00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:08.900
One, one. Sniffs, sniffs. He gonna miss this

00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:13.539
face like when Trump got shot. Wow. Two. Wow.

00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:17.439
You know, when she wrote that down, she said,

00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:19.479
mm -hmm, mm -hmm, mm -hmm, mm -hmm. She said,

00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.580
this is, we're doing art. And then number three,

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.759
itsy bitsy spider crawled in my booty crack.

00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.419
Down came the rain when I threw this coochie

00:03:29.419 --> 00:03:36.800
back. And here's the real tea of all of it. There

00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.800
is one writer credit on this song. It is Elizabeth

00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.960
Harris. Do you want to take a wild guess on what

00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.860
Cupcake's real name is? Elizabeth Harris. Elizabeth

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:49.000
Eden Harris. Oh, Cupcake, you've done it again.

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.500
I knew she wrote that song. You can just tell.

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.469
By herself. You can just tell by the vibes. She

00:03:55.469 --> 00:04:00.909
has a mind. I wish I wish I had a quarter of

00:04:00.909 --> 00:04:04.689
the creativity of the gumption that she does.

00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:07.729
Wow. Cupcake. We love you. She has a mind that

00:04:07.729 --> 00:04:12.090
we could never wish for. And that's that's that's

00:04:12.090 --> 00:04:16.360
that on that. Wow. If you haven't heard one of

00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.600
my bed bugs ate my pussy, please tune in wherever

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.560
you stream your music. Please. I'll give you

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.240
my password. How many monthly listeners does

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.860
Cupcake have? I don't. Does that tell you? 2

00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:33.579
.1 million. Shut your whore mouth. Oh, I'm not

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:37.730
even surprised. That's amazing. Also, Deep Throat

00:04:37.730 --> 00:04:42.509
has 120 ,000. I'm sorry, 120 million streams.

00:04:43.350 --> 00:04:46.910
And I believe Travis to be at least 20 million

00:04:46.910 --> 00:04:50.350
of those. Do you have anything to complain about?

00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:56.970
So much, really. But I'm kind of at a like. I

00:04:56.970 --> 00:04:59.329
have so much to complain about, but all I've

00:04:59.329 --> 00:05:04.149
seen for like. two weeks are people in Gaza,

00:05:04.329 --> 00:05:08.310
people in Iran, and people in LA who are dealing

00:05:08.310 --> 00:05:12.350
with such strife that I feel like the most privileged

00:05:12.350 --> 00:05:18.470
woman in the world. So I'm going to forego my

00:05:18.470 --> 00:05:22.810
complaining in solidarity with immigrants and

00:05:22.810 --> 00:05:26.610
also the whole entirety of the Middle East, except

00:05:26.610 --> 00:05:29.879
for Israel, sorry. That's fair. I have two things

00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.519
to complain about if you if you don't have any.

00:05:32.019 --> 00:05:36.899
Please do. OK, one. One is going to make me sound

00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:38.959
like an asshole now that you've taken a moral

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.519
stance. Oh, I just wanted to say something in

00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.680
this episode about it. That's fair. Yeah, I don't.

00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:48.680
I still have a loss I've been complaining about

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.420
internally. Don't get me wrong. No, I feel like

00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:54.040
for me, I don't know that I have anything productive

00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.500
to add to the conversation. So I feel like I'm

00:05:56.500 --> 00:06:00.019
uncomfortable. unpacking some of those subjects

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:03.019
because I don't know how to talk about it. Like

00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:05.000
someone who's very, very good at it is like Hassan

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.730
Biker, who. Under like, like fully understands

00:06:08.730 --> 00:06:12.389
like the facets that the implications of everything.

00:06:12.529 --> 00:06:15.470
And not to mention he's in California. So he's

00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:17.829
like, so he gets it. Yeah. He was at the protest.

00:06:17.889 --> 00:06:20.610
Right. But yeah, if you'd like more details about

00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:25.470
what's happening in Iran and Gaza or in LA, highly

00:06:25.470 --> 00:06:30.290
recommend listening to Austin Piker. Did you

00:06:30.290 --> 00:06:34.230
say Austin Piker? Hassan. Hassan. I thought H

00:06:34.230 --> 00:06:38.839
-A -S -S -A -N was Hassan. I don't know. Anyway,

00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:42.800
however you want to say it, listen to that hottie.

00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:47.139
Because there's two white people from Indiana,

00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.399
we can only say so many, you know. That and like,

00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.160
I fully like, I just feel like I don't have anything

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.160
productive to add to the conversation. I'm just

00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.480
going to be very real with you. Like I, my heart

00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.899
goes out to literally everyone that is impacted

00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:02.560
by literally all the bullshit going on in the

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.220
world right now because there is so much. my

00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:09.660
goal with this podcast is to bring some lightheartedness

00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:14.860
to everyone's day and especially in the deep

00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:17.740
dark times that we are currently exactly and

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:20.420
like me talking about it is like it would be

00:07:20.420 --> 00:07:22.959
the most uneducated takes on it well that's what

00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.100
i'm saying like if we really wanted to get into

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:27.879
it i would sound so stupid compared to people

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.860
who have prepared research and pieces and maybe

00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:33.779
that's one of our let's research mamas like that

00:07:33.779 --> 00:07:36.769
is Yeah. Maybe that is something that I that

00:07:36.769 --> 00:07:39.410
I can unpack. It's just not. But that's not what

00:07:39.410 --> 00:07:41.870
we're doing today. No. I was just saying because

00:07:41.870 --> 00:07:44.290
the last week has been like particularly horrible.

00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:48.290
It has been horrific. Especially with the militarization

00:07:48.290 --> 00:07:54.050
of ICE in in California. Yeah. So anyways, what

00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:56.949
are we complaining about? So the thing that's

00:07:56.949 --> 00:07:59.250
going to make me sound like an asshole. I went

00:07:59.250 --> 00:08:01.350
to Swig. I went to the drive through of Swig

00:08:01.350 --> 00:08:06.819
on Washington Street. I get in the drive -thru.

00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:11.579
I am the second car in line, right? The car in

00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:14.439
front of me is a minivan with nine kids in it.

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:23.060
And I want everyone to enjoy Swig. Swig, please

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:25.399
sponsor the podcast. This is not an attack on

00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.220
you. We love Swig. We love Swig. I'm drinking

00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:31.800
a Swig right now. That being said, there is a

00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.899
minivan in front of me with a mom and, like,

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:38.419
nine kids. And the thing that is really triggering

00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:41.899
to me about every Swig except for the one in

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:45.519
Greenwood is that you cannot go in and just pick

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.740
up your order. You cannot just pop your head

00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:50.899
in and be like, oh, it's on the counter waiting

00:08:50.899 --> 00:08:53.580
for me, whatever. You must wait in the drive

00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:55.860
-thru. They will not pull a car forward like

00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.980
you're at an Arby's. They will not allow it.

00:09:00.070 --> 00:09:02.830
And so I waited in this drive through and I am

00:09:02.830 --> 00:09:07.090
not exaggerating for 20 full minutes. Mind you,

00:09:07.110 --> 00:09:11.610
all they sell is little snacks and sodas like

00:09:11.610 --> 00:09:15.590
there had to be so many of them. But that's the

00:09:15.590 --> 00:09:19.490
thing they kept. They just kept handing. Soda

00:09:19.490 --> 00:09:21.870
is out, like out and out and out. And I was like,

00:09:21.889 --> 00:09:23.870
that's, I love that. Like there, but it's like,

00:09:23.929 --> 00:09:26.570
it was a million little ones. So like what, what

00:09:26.570 --> 00:09:28.230
it tells me is like the kids couldn't make up

00:09:28.230 --> 00:09:32.129
their minds. So it was, let's just, let's have

00:09:32.129 --> 00:09:34.029
a, let's have a smorgasbord. Let's have a fun

00:09:34.029 --> 00:09:35.610
time. And like, I see what the mom was trying

00:09:35.610 --> 00:09:37.230
to do. You should have ordered ahead. You should

00:09:37.230 --> 00:09:40.230
have said, I have a mobile order for Christine.

00:09:40.549 --> 00:09:43.629
I assume. I don't know. Yeah. And that's where

00:09:43.629 --> 00:09:50.090
we're at. I like, I get it. I want those kids

00:09:50.090 --> 00:09:52.210
to have a good time and have some yummy drinks.

00:09:52.289 --> 00:09:55.690
I do. But, like, now you're making the whole

00:09:55.690 --> 00:10:00.330
community pay for it. Yes. During Pride Month.

00:10:01.830 --> 00:10:04.509
We went to a water park last week. Oh, my God.

00:10:04.549 --> 00:10:07.490
Sorry. This is so off topic. We went to a water

00:10:07.490 --> 00:10:13.110
park last week. And it was a Thursday. We got

00:10:13.110 --> 00:10:19.419
there at 1 .30 p .m. Filled to the brim to the

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:22.340
point where I was afraid we were going to have

00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:24.139
to wait outside because they were going to be

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:26.820
at capacity. Packed, packed, packed, packed,

00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.159
packed. It was insane. We saw Jack's kindergarten

00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.580
teacher there. Like, insane. Insane. And remind

00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:38.159
me to comment on that when we talk about Jack

00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.480
again in a second. Okay. Perfect. So the second

00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.590
thing I have to complain about is... A movement

00:10:45.590 --> 00:10:51.730
that's taking hold on TikTok that I want to start

00:10:51.730 --> 00:10:56.470
off by saying I don't I don't want to attack

00:10:56.470 --> 00:10:59.730
any one specific person, anyone, any specific

00:10:59.730 --> 00:11:02.529
group of people. But there is this there is a

00:11:02.529 --> 00:11:05.610
group of people on TikTok called the 4 a .m.

00:11:05.610 --> 00:11:09.190
Club. This is rooted in a phenomenon that occurred

00:11:09.190 --> 00:11:15.139
on November. 6th of 2024 so the night after or

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:18.059
like the the the morning hours after election

00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:22.779
night right so this whole phenomenon stems from

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:25.940
a woman waking up at four o 'clock in the morning

00:11:25.940 --> 00:11:31.720
and we all just knew in that moment that donald

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.629
trump won the election and Millions of people

00:11:35.629 --> 00:11:38.090
on TikTok were commenting saying I also woke

00:11:38.090 --> 00:11:40.809
up. I've heard about this, not on TikTok, like

00:11:40.809 --> 00:11:43.610
on Twitter of everyone saying they woke up that

00:11:43.610 --> 00:11:47.269
night. I I also woke up that night. I very vividly

00:11:47.269 --> 00:11:49.110
remember waking up and I told you about this.

00:11:49.169 --> 00:11:53.769
I woke up and I said, oh, God. And I think. Is

00:11:53.769 --> 00:11:57.769
it not an anxiety thing? I think it is. I'm just

00:11:57.769 --> 00:12:04.860
guessing here. But anyway. So. The the creator

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:11.340
founder of the 4 a .m. club is a psychic. And

00:12:11.340 --> 00:12:19.059
she's been speaking to, I guess, ghosts. I don't

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:21.500
I don't know. I don't know. I'm not I'm not attacking.

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.639
I don't understand spirituality. This is something

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.190
I need to be very clear about. she's speaking

00:12:28.190 --> 00:12:31.149
to who or whatever she's speaking to. And they're

00:12:31.149 --> 00:12:36.009
telling her about what's really going on in the

00:12:36.009 --> 00:12:40.269
world. Like in, in the beginning, what it was

00:12:40.269 --> 00:12:43.309
was Kamala Harris really won. The election is

00:12:43.309 --> 00:12:47.950
what the, what we were being sold. Oh, this was

00:12:47.950 --> 00:12:51.210
that whole thing where they were like, I'm not

00:12:51.210 --> 00:12:54.710
going to believe it. I know that she won. Okay.

00:12:54.850 --> 00:13:00.460
Yeah. Yes, it's that. And it is stemmed into

00:13:00.460 --> 00:13:04.519
a TikTok that I sent Emma earlier with with the

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:10.600
text Jesus Christ in all caps, where it's a woman

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.779
who is a member of the 4 a .m. club. And I won't

00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:19.200
take this away from anyone. If you want to. Believe

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:20.700
whatever you want to believe. I won't take that

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:22.659
away from you. But what what scares me about

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:24.700
the 4 a .m. club is that it's giving people false

00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:28.299
hope. And it's exactly what I believe MAGA was

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:31.720
doing in 2020. It is identical to what they were

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:38.919
doing. And. And so this tick tock goes on to

00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.440
talk about how we're in an alternate timeline.

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:47.279
We. Isn't that kind of the whole point of. alternate

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.740
timelines in general aren't you always in an

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:52.419
alternate timeline because there are like millions

00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:55.080
of different possible timelines anyway maybe

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:58.399
i don't know that's a whole theory that i've

00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.600
gotten into we can talk about it in another episode

00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.259
but If you believe in multiple timelines, then

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:06.460
you are always in an alternate timeline. You're

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:09.059
in an alternate timeline than if you chose something

00:14:09.059 --> 00:14:10.740
different for breakfast this morning. But are

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:12.559
you in an alternate timeline or are you just

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.820
existing and then the timelines existing around

00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:16.759
you? I don't under, this is a thing that I cannot

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.320
understand. My little Kentucky brain cannot understand.

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:21.740
See, that's an interesting question because I

00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:25.659
always interpreted it as there are multiple dimensions

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:28.419
in which I exist and I'm doing different things

00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:32.769
in all of them. Does that make sense? I won't

00:14:32.769 --> 00:14:34.529
take that away from you, but I don't understand

00:14:34.529 --> 00:14:39.070
that. I hear you. I hear I can conceptualize

00:14:39.070 --> 00:14:42.309
what you're saying. I do not understand it. It

00:14:42.309 --> 00:14:44.690
goes into the whole thing of like multiple universes.

00:14:44.929 --> 00:14:47.330
And maybe maybe they're out there. We should

00:14:47.330 --> 00:14:50.529
talk about that in a things we don't understand

00:14:50.529 --> 00:14:53.049
episode. We'll get into that. I love that string

00:14:53.049 --> 00:14:55.309
theory and multiple universes and all of that.

00:14:55.309 --> 00:14:58.769
That would be fun. But this one is saying that.

00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.240
We're in an alternate timeline in which Donald

00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.399
Trump won the election. And we are our job as

00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.379
the 4 a .m. club is to collapse this timeline

00:15:09.379 --> 00:15:13.919
into the right timeline. And now we're verging

00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.559
into the territory of psychosis. I fear like

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.440
this is this is what I don't understand. And

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.440
this is what I'm complaining about is why can

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.700
like I we're I'm going to go on record. I do

00:15:26.700 --> 00:15:29.809
not like. The presidency, I do not like the administration.

00:15:30.029 --> 00:15:33.110
I do not like anything about it. I have not liked

00:15:33.110 --> 00:15:36.389
anything since November of 2024. I've been mad

00:15:36.389 --> 00:15:38.690
about it. I would argue I haven't been happy

00:15:38.690 --> 00:15:46.850
since November of 2016. Fair. But, like, we didn't

00:15:46.850 --> 00:15:52.909
do this in 2016. I didn't see any of the mentally

00:15:52.909 --> 00:15:58.399
ill or any of the clairvoyance. telling us that

00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.899
well if we just crush this timeline then we'll

00:16:02.899 --> 00:16:05.919
go to an alternate time then what what then what

00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.720
diva like i at some point you just have to take

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:12.960
the loss and like almost it kind of sounds like

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.279
they need a reality check of like yes it's horrible

00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.600
and yes it's scary and all of these things but

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.360
donald trump is the president right and it For

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.899
what it's worth, there's nothing you as an individual

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:30.460
can do to change it. No. The only thing you could

00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:33.299
do is get out and vote next time, Diva. No. And

00:16:33.299 --> 00:16:34.940
here's the God's honest truth. You know, there

00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:38.980
are these like there there's the pro V &V lawsuit

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:41.159
going on right now where if there is any merit

00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.379
to it, I am thrilled and excited. That's not

00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:48.360
the same as destroying a timeline and jumping

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.340
to an alternate reality in which Kamala Harris

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:54.419
won. It's. proving what happened in this timeline

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:56.919
in this universe and that's and that's the thing

00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:01.179
is we're talking about psychosis we're talking

00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:04.920
about like crazy shit and i'm just like we we

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.440
have to live in reality babe we gotta we gotta

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.660
figure it out together are you ready for reality

00:17:09.660 --> 00:17:15.200
roundup oh i'm so ready so we've got the traitor

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.079
season forecast on our list we've got the first

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.319
two episodes of the second season of secret lives

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.950
and mormon wives and then you said you had I

00:17:21.950 --> 00:17:25.970
have something to say about Love Island. Fun

00:17:25.970 --> 00:17:28.390
fact, I've only ever watched like half of an

00:17:28.390 --> 00:17:30.549
episode of Love Island. I don't think you would

00:17:30.549 --> 00:17:32.990
be into it. And honestly, I just wasn't going

00:17:32.990 --> 00:17:35.829
to ever comment on it. No, I want you to comment

00:17:35.829 --> 00:17:39.450
on it. Okay. So what you need to know is that

00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:44.579
the last season of Love Island was. So iconic.

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:47.799
Like I would, it was probably the biggest season

00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.920
to ever occur of Love Island, including in the

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:56.619
UK. Like it was huge. And we got like celebrities

00:17:56.619 --> 00:17:59.819
out of it. Like people who now have millions

00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:01.759
of followers, they're getting brand deals, they're

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.799
doing all these things. Right. And they're getting

00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.319
their own spinoff show, in fact, because everyone

00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.849
loves that cast so much. Love that. Yeah. And

00:18:10.849 --> 00:18:12.970
good for them. They were all hot. They all had

00:18:12.970 --> 00:18:15.450
very distinctive personalities and they all you

00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:17.309
could tell they got on really well. Like they

00:18:17.309 --> 00:18:20.589
all really liked each other. And it was cool

00:18:20.589 --> 00:18:23.529
because it was like you were seeing friendships

00:18:23.529 --> 00:18:26.509
blossom as well as like these romantic relationships.

00:18:26.589 --> 00:18:29.470
Oh, I love that. It was beautiful. Yeah. It has

00:18:29.470 --> 00:18:33.910
caused a rift in Love Island, though, because

00:18:33.910 --> 00:18:38.380
now. We have this problem with the girls where

00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:43.019
the whole point of the show, right, is to go

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:49.619
date a bunch of people and, like, be hot, right?

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:54.019
What a dream. What an absolute dream. That's

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:56.640
really the only rule of the show. Be hot and

00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.440
date multiple people, okay? And it's turned into

00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:07.279
this thing where... If you go after someone's

00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:13.559
man, you're not a girl's girl. Jesus Christ.

00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.740
As if you're not on love fucking island. But

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:20.140
that's the point of the show, though, Diva. I

00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:22.759
know. And do you actually think let me let me

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:24.599
ask you this, because from the half of an episode

00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:28.079
I've watched, I got the entire vibe. Do you actually

00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:31.680
think when you leave Casa Amor or whatever the

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:35.009
fuck it's called that. You're leaving with your

00:19:35.009 --> 00:19:37.670
fucking husband or your wife. Do you actually

00:19:37.670 --> 00:19:41.630
believe that? It's happened so few times. Like,

00:19:41.710 --> 00:19:44.329
OK, that's the other thing about last season

00:19:44.329 --> 00:19:47.769
is that three of the couples, the big three that

00:19:47.769 --> 00:19:49.509
everyone was obsessed with, they're still together

00:19:49.509 --> 00:19:52.710
a year later. That is shocking to me. And you

00:19:52.710 --> 00:19:54.430
could have you could have said, is this true

00:19:54.430 --> 00:19:55.970
or false? And I would have told you that is an

00:19:55.970 --> 00:20:00.730
abject lie. Right. But last season was such an

00:20:00.730 --> 00:20:03.539
independent. It was so different from anything

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:06.119
we've ever seen on Love Island. And so people.

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:10.039
But it was it was such a huge draw that that

00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:13.279
was like people's first experience of Love Island.

00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:16.839
And so now they're like, oh, they're going to

00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:20.660
get married. Oh, OK. OK, I see what you're saying.

00:20:20.859 --> 00:20:23.799
And listen, I do think the girls should have

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.640
the other girls backs in the sense of like they

00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.460
should be there for them when they're upset and

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:33.579
they should, you know. That's how you're a girl's

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:37.220
girl. Be friends. I just I have a huge problem

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.900
with this season and I don't even want to say

00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:40.720
her name because she's been getting so much hate

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.279
online. It's the one who's a mother. She's saying.

00:20:45.609 --> 00:20:48.869
One of them is not a girl's girl because of a

00:20:48.869 --> 00:20:54.069
vote that America had. Anyone in America was

00:20:54.069 --> 00:20:56.990
voting for who this girl should pair up with.

00:20:57.190 --> 00:21:03.089
And we all chose the mom's man, right? Because

00:21:03.089 --> 00:21:05.769
they've been together since the beginning and

00:21:05.769 --> 00:21:08.410
they haven't experienced anyone else. And you

00:21:08.410 --> 00:21:12.230
could tell his name is Jeremiah was into this

00:21:12.230 --> 00:21:17.579
new girl. OK, so the next morning they get a

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:20.980
text at like 5 a .m. All the new couples are

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:24.859
going on a date, blah, blah, blah, blah. This

00:21:24.859 --> 00:21:28.240
girl has done nothing wrong to the mom, right?

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.380
Nothing wrong to her. And she goes on this tirade

00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:34.900
about. Iris isn't a girl's girl. You can just

00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:36.940
tell she's holding stuff back, blah, blah, blah,

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:40.700
blah. Oh, Jesus Christ. We have lost the plot

00:21:40.700 --> 00:21:43.019
of Love Island, and that is all I really wanted

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:46.059
to say about it. I think people have really forgotten

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:49.779
what the show is about. It's about being hot

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:52.039
and dating multiple people. You're not finding

00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:54.680
your kid's stepdad there. No. You're not finding

00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:56.839
your future husband there. I get that you're

00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.900
there to find love, whatever. Love in the sense

00:22:00.900 --> 00:22:03.940
of dating for six months, perhaps. Love in the

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:06.880
sense of getting your puss ate. Right. In front

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.799
of everyone else because you all share a bedroom.

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:11.859
That's what you're there for. And I want you

00:22:11.859 --> 00:22:15.559
to do that. I want to see it. That's why I watch.

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.460
I don't watch to see you sneaking around listening

00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:22.579
to the boys' conversations. I don't watch it.

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.099
So that I can see how strong your connection

00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:29.400
is with the other girls. I would argue that I

00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:30.740
don't give a fuck how strong your connection

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:35.779
is. No. God. Like that's just a God's honest

00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:38.079
truth, Eva. Every single challenge they have

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.740
in the whole show, they're all kissing each other.

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:45.059
That's like the premise of every single challenge

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:47.619
that they have is that they all make out with

00:22:47.619 --> 00:22:51.319
each other. I love that. Like, that's what you're

00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.319
there for. I don't understand how you can be

00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:55.500
possessive and how you can be, like, catty. It's

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:58.940
my freshman year at IU. Like, have a good summer,

00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:04.220
mama. Ugh. Anyway. Anyway. Let's get into Traitors.

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:07.299
I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I can't wait

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:11.819
for this. So, Traitors season four is confirmed.

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:15.920
There's not a date yet for the premiere, but

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:20.509
we have the cast. And there are some huge highlights.

00:23:21.250 --> 00:23:22.950
There are some highlights. And then there are

00:23:22.950 --> 00:23:26.210
some names that I don't know, because to be fair,

00:23:26.269 --> 00:23:28.950
like, I think there are different sects of reality

00:23:28.950 --> 00:23:32.230
TV watching. And some of them I just don't watch.

00:23:32.450 --> 00:23:36.769
But Candace Dillard Bassett. They did her dirty

00:23:36.769 --> 00:23:38.589
with this picture. I don't think this is a great

00:23:38.589 --> 00:23:41.509
picture. No, but you know, she's going to eat

00:23:41.509 --> 00:23:44.289
so hard on that show. The aesthetics of all of

00:23:44.289 --> 00:23:47.269
it. I can't wait. And the thing about Candace

00:23:47.269 --> 00:23:52.509
is she is smart. Like she is intelligent and

00:23:52.509 --> 00:23:55.289
she is going to go the fuck in on these people

00:23:55.289 --> 00:23:57.509
and like make them regret the day they were born.

00:23:57.609 --> 00:24:01.210
And she's not scared of any fucking body at all.

00:24:01.269 --> 00:24:04.069
Like she will say what she thinks, period. She

00:24:04.069 --> 00:24:06.450
does not care. I feel like she's almost going

00:24:06.450 --> 00:24:09.869
to bring the energy that Bob the Drag Queen brought.

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.960
Which is funny because Monet X Strange is also

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.039
on this list. Right, which is who I don't care

00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.779
about. We'll get there, we'll get there. I'm

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:22.099
so excited for Candace. That's like a huge highlight

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:25.279
for me. That's a win for me. Caroline Stanbury.

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:28.119
Yeah, I didn't really know her because I didn't

00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:31.900
watch Housewives of Dubai. So before Housewives

00:24:31.900 --> 00:24:36.460
of Dubai, Caroline Stanbury was on a show on

00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:39.980
Bravo called Ladies of London. Which is. Oh,

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:42.640
right. Yeah. You talk to me about that. An incredible,

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:47.980
incredible sociology experiment of dropping in

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:50.339
women from the United States into London society.

00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:54.140
We're like. there's like real rules to London

00:24:54.140 --> 00:24:56.200
society and like watching these people interact

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.960
was just a fucking field day. They have a type

00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:03.119
of old money that doesn't exist in America. Like,

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.759
right. Cause it like literally goes back farther

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:11.099
than America. Yeah. Like, but Caroline Stanberry

00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:15.779
is part of that old money thing. Like she has

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:18.880
money. I mean, you live in Dubai. Yeah. Right.

00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.230
Um, So I'm very excited for Caroline Stanberry.

00:25:22.349 --> 00:25:26.970
And she is someone who I'm excited to see people

00:25:26.970 --> 00:25:29.009
attack her almost and not because I want her

00:25:29.009 --> 00:25:31.289
to get attacked, but because when she was on

00:25:31.289 --> 00:25:33.829
Ladies of London and it was the same way on Real

00:25:33.829 --> 00:25:38.910
Housewives of Dubai, she was unshakable, like

00:25:38.910 --> 00:25:41.130
similarly to the way Candace is like where it's

00:25:41.130 --> 00:25:45.880
like you you can't tell her shit. it's so good

00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.420
i love that i hope they're best friends i hope

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:50.259
so too but and that's the thing is like what

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:52.740
tends to happen on traitors what i've noticed

00:25:52.740 --> 00:25:56.380
is the housewives tend to pair off yeah even

00:25:56.380 --> 00:25:58.160
when they're not from the same cities they do

00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:01.200
even if they don't like each other they do tend

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.740
to gravitate towards one another yeah they are

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:06.819
like a very different breed than like someone

00:26:06.819 --> 00:26:09.160
from survivor big brother you know what i mean

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.690
um I'm excited to see Dorinda back. Dorinda Medley.

00:26:13.950 --> 00:26:17.589
I am so excited to see Dorinda back. She left

00:26:17.589 --> 00:26:20.170
far too soon. She was the first elimination.

00:26:20.509 --> 00:26:24.369
Yeah. And I think they knew when she was killed

00:26:24.369 --> 00:26:27.210
first. She was coming back. That she needed to

00:26:27.210 --> 00:26:29.349
come back because she didn't really get her moment.

00:26:29.450 --> 00:26:33.190
And like she she was still like such a strong

00:26:33.190 --> 00:26:35.890
personality in the one episode she was in. Like

00:26:35.890 --> 00:26:38.819
she was still like. I'm sure people's favorites

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:43.779
like starting off. The thing about Dorinda, you

00:26:43.779 --> 00:26:46.460
never you have you haven't seen her on Real Housewives

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:50.779
of New York. She comes in the season that Bethany

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:56.079
comes back. Oh, and the way that she holds up

00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:03.970
like there she she does have seasons where. she

00:27:03.970 --> 00:27:06.690
doesn't come off shining like the star that she

00:27:06.690 --> 00:27:09.869
is which it happens it happens to every housewife

00:27:09.869 --> 00:27:14.789
yeah what she does is she likes two or three

00:27:14.789 --> 00:27:16.630
dirty martinis and this is one of my favorite

00:27:16.630 --> 00:27:18.690
things about her I like if Dorinda if you ever

00:27:18.690 --> 00:27:21.710
hear this just know that like I see the relationship

00:27:21.710 --> 00:27:25.009
you have with your daughter Hannah and all I

00:27:25.009 --> 00:27:27.710
want is a relationship like that with a mother

00:27:27.710 --> 00:27:31.809
who's not my mother Never any shade towards you,

00:27:31.809 --> 00:27:34.369
Dorinda. I love Dorinda. Dorinda can do the way

00:27:34.369 --> 00:27:36.569
Bethany can do no wrong. And as far as I'm concerned,

00:27:36.690 --> 00:27:39.269
Dorinda can also do no wrong. She just seems

00:27:39.269 --> 00:27:41.769
like such a sweetie, too. She really, really,

00:27:41.809 --> 00:27:43.750
really is. She has such a big, strong personality.

00:27:43.750 --> 00:27:46.750
But you can tell, like, if someone needs her,

00:27:46.769 --> 00:27:49.269
she's there. You know what I mean? Also, there's

00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:52.009
no bullshit. Yeah. I'm excited to see her and

00:27:52.009 --> 00:27:56.589
Candace interact. I think they would be thick

00:27:56.589 --> 00:28:00.230
as thieves or really butt. I think they're going

00:28:00.230 --> 00:28:03.029
to be really good friends. I think who Dorinda

00:28:03.029 --> 00:28:04.589
is going to have a hard time with is Caroline

00:28:04.589 --> 00:28:07.109
Stanbury because Dorinda lived in London for

00:28:07.109 --> 00:28:12.470
several years. And I think that there's a clashing

00:28:12.470 --> 00:28:13.970
thing that's going to happen there. A hundred

00:28:13.970 --> 00:28:16.569
percent. I see that. I don't know who Eric Nam

00:28:16.569 --> 00:28:18.170
is. I don't know who he is. I'm sure he's going

00:28:18.170 --> 00:28:20.130
to be great. I don't know this Big Brother guy.

00:28:20.609 --> 00:28:24.970
Ian Terry. Johnny Weir. I'm excited for Johnny

00:28:24.970 --> 00:28:30.269
Weir. I love him. I think he's so cool and so

00:28:30.269 --> 00:28:33.210
funny, but I haven't seen him that much. Like,

00:28:33.210 --> 00:28:35.430
I haven't seen that much of him, so I'm excited

00:28:35.430 --> 00:28:37.930
to see what he's like in a shared house like

00:28:37.930 --> 00:28:42.259
that. My exposure to him has been... through

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:45.559
I oh god well what's the show where the Project

00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:49.079
Runway yeah he came on Project Runway as a guest

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.839
judge and he was hysterical he's so funny he's

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.819
very funny yeah I I think he'll be like class

00:28:56.819 --> 00:29:00.200
clown kind of light in the mood yes Kristen Kish

00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:07.170
I am familiar with I respect her as a chef and

00:29:07.170 --> 00:29:10.250
personality but i don't know how her personality

00:29:10.250 --> 00:29:15.750
is gonna do on traitor she's like a very no bullshit

00:29:15.750 --> 00:29:18.390
yeah she's like always been a host and stuff

00:29:18.390 --> 00:29:20.670
like that so i've never seen her like participating

00:29:20.670 --> 00:29:23.730
in something like i've oh you've seen her like

00:29:23.730 --> 00:29:25.549

in the show right got it okay so i don't know

00:29:28.150 --> 00:29:31.660
she seems to like Just to me off of what I've

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:34.539
seen, she seems to have like a very dominant

00:29:34.539 --> 00:29:37.380
personality. And I don't know. Oh, I think that'll

00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:39.400
be good. Yeah. I don't really know how that's

00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:42.740
going to play out. However, she's very hot. She's

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:46.920
actually gorgeous. Like. Yeah. And there's like

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.650
a. Like a badass look about her that I'm very

00:29:50.650 --> 00:29:53.569
into. I like that. I like it. She always has

00:29:53.569 --> 00:29:55.890
like this short hair tatted up thing going on.

00:29:55.910 --> 00:29:58.470
I love a lady with short hair. I think it is

00:29:58.470 --> 00:30:01.069
so high. Yeah. There's just like, oh, I love

00:30:01.069 --> 00:30:04.450
it. She tends to wear kind of like a sporty suit

00:30:04.450 --> 00:30:09.650
situation. Love that. Yeah. Okay. Who's next?

00:30:10.109 --> 00:30:14.750
Survivor or not a survivor? Rob Sesternino. i'm

00:30:14.750 --> 00:30:16.930
i'm gonna be you know what i'm gonna say yeah

00:30:16.930 --> 00:30:21.990
yeah not no to this man i'm into it uh lisa rena

00:30:21.990 --> 00:30:26.950
i can't wait for her to get too drunk in the

00:30:26.950 --> 00:30:30.509
trader's house and show that monkey i this is

00:30:30.509 --> 00:30:32.829
something that the traders is i would argue this

00:30:32.829 --> 00:30:34.490
is something traders has needed since season

00:30:34.490 --> 00:30:39.359
one because lisa rena oh god so You know, her

00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:41.259
whole backstory where like she started on like

00:30:41.259 --> 00:30:44.400
Days of Our Lives or like one of the one of the

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.400
soap operas on NBC. And so she's been in that

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.000
world since the 90s. I was going to say, yeah.

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:58.119
And she is good at at reality television. I've

00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:01.779
I want to say she was on like Celebrity Celebrity

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:05.480
Big Brother and like was it. I don't know what

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:07.960
she. She did one of these competition shows and

00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.160
she was very, very good at it. I can see that

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:12.960
for her because she knows how to play the game.

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:17.299
She's been in the the industry for long enough

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:19.180
that like she knows how to play the game. But

00:31:19.180 --> 00:31:23.799
also she is so fun. She is fun and she's funny.

00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:29.259
She is genuinely hysterical. I'm really excited

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:33.400
to see her. Mark Ballas, you also know what I'm

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:38.000
going to say. Yeah. Not no to this man. I'm not

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.380
a Dancing with the Stars girl. I watch it if

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:42.099
there are like celebrities on there that are

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:44.400
interesting to me, but that's it. And I don't,

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:46.160
I wouldn't say I watch it. I watch clips of it.

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:51.539
I think he's hot. Maura Higgins. Okay. Obviously

00:31:51.539 --> 00:31:53.119
you're not going to know who Maura Higgins is.

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.759
She doesn't have like. She's gorgeous. Oh my

00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:01.440
God. She is stunning. She is beautiful. I feel

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.900
like she could really be a dark horse because

00:32:03.900 --> 00:32:06.720
she tends to like, she's super fun and flirty

00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:09.059
and fresh, but she tends to like keep to herself

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:12.119
a little bit compared to the other people I'm

00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:14.759
seeing on this cast. It's hard when you have

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.220
a ton of big personalities to like fit in, I

00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:20.019
feel like. Yeah. Because there's a lot of, like

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:25.059
a ton of personality. She would absolutely eat

00:32:25.059 --> 00:32:29.440
as a traitor. She would eat because I think she

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:33.019
would know how to like fly under the radar. Yes.

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.359
If you hear a harmonica, that's just our soundtrack

00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.559
today. Jack's playing his little harmonica. It's

00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:41.099
perfect. I don't think they'll be able to hear

00:32:41.099 --> 00:32:44.759
it. But yeah, I love Maura Higgins. I think she's

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.019
funny. I think she's really cool. I do think

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:49.160
she's more reserved than some of the other people

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.630
in this cast. Yeah. So. I don't know. I think

00:32:53.630 --> 00:32:55.349
she would do a really good job as a traitor.

00:32:55.490 --> 00:32:57.730
If I were a producer, I would be making her a

00:32:57.730 --> 00:33:03.589
traitor. Michael Rapaport can go to hell. I have

00:33:03.589 --> 00:33:06.130
a feeling he will be one of the early ones to

00:33:06.130 --> 00:33:08.490
go. Oh, yeah. He's going to get cut early. And

00:33:08.490 --> 00:33:10.069
I don't think any of these other people are going

00:33:10.069 --> 00:33:14.670
to like him. No, no, no, no. Anyway. Yeah. Monet

00:33:14.670 --> 00:33:21.309
exchange. Yeah. OK. Here's the thing. I don't

00:33:21.309 --> 00:33:24.890
know how to say this in any other way. I, I don't

00:33:24.890 --> 00:33:27.450
know. I don't understand her personality without

00:33:27.450 --> 00:33:31.089
Bob the drag queen. Yeah. So I was going to say,

00:33:31.130 --> 00:33:34.150
it might be interesting to see her separated

00:33:34.150 --> 00:33:37.730
from Bob the drag queen. Like maybe she'll shine

00:33:37.730 --> 00:33:40.329
in her own individual way. I just don't really

00:33:40.329 --> 00:33:43.250
know what to expect. Yeah. And like, and maybe

00:33:43.250 --> 00:33:46.250
it's not that I don't like her. I think that

00:33:46.250 --> 00:33:51.710
she's a very talented queen. Yeah. I only know

00:33:51.710 --> 00:33:54.710
her like the only frame of reference I have is

00:33:54.710 --> 00:33:57.829
sibling rivalry with Bob, the drag queen of Money

00:33:57.829 --> 00:34:00.950
Exchange and RuPaul's Drag Race. Like that's

00:34:00.950 --> 00:34:03.150
that's the extent of my frame of reference. I've

00:34:03.150 --> 00:34:05.890
only seen her on RuPaul and like I don't even

00:34:05.890 --> 00:34:09.230
really like recall the sponges. That's that's

00:34:09.230 --> 00:34:11.210
what I that's what I remember about Money Exchange

00:34:11.210 --> 00:34:13.710
is the sponges. And I just I mean, I don't know.

00:34:13.769 --> 00:34:15.789
Maybe she'll be great, but I don't really know

00:34:15.789 --> 00:34:18.969
what to expect from her. I, again, Natalie Anderson.

00:34:19.130 --> 00:34:21.429
I don't watch. I don't know who that is. Portia

00:34:21.429 --> 00:34:25.030
Williams. Portia Williams. Ah, stunning, beautiful

00:34:25.030 --> 00:34:27.550
queen. Let me tell you about Portia Williams.

00:34:27.690 --> 00:34:29.590
OK, so this is a couple of things about Portia.

00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:36.510
I have loved her from day one on Real Housewives

00:34:36.510 --> 00:34:41.769
of Atlanta. She came on and she was. I think

00:34:41.769 --> 00:34:43.369
she was playing a role because she was married

00:34:43.369 --> 00:34:48.429
to Cordell. Cordell Williams. Oh, and she was

00:34:48.429 --> 00:34:51.309
playing the role of like ditzy housewife. And

00:34:51.309 --> 00:34:56.130
this this clip has floated around on TikTok for

00:34:56.130 --> 00:35:00.929
years where she didn't. I don't believe she didn't

00:35:00.929 --> 00:35:04.369
understand the Underground Railroad, but she

00:35:04.369 --> 00:35:07.869
pretends to think that it was an actual an actual

00:35:07.869 --> 00:35:12.980
train. Yeah, I've seen that. But like something

00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:14.820
you need to understand about Portia Williams

00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:18.239
is she is a walking comedy show. Like she is

00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:22.719
hysterical. She's gorgeous. One of the most beautiful

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.960
women I've ever seen in my life. I cannot wait

00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:27.800
to see her interact with Candace because they

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:29.420
are either going to be best friends or they are

00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:31.909
going to be. at each other's throats immediately

00:35:31.909 --> 00:35:36.550
and i cannot wait to see it so i've only i've

00:35:36.550 --> 00:35:39.030
watched real housewives of atlanta in like bits

00:35:39.030 --> 00:35:42.530
and pieces it's not something where like potomac

00:35:42.530 --> 00:35:45.650
i've watched every single episode in order i've

00:35:45.650 --> 00:35:48.150
just like i used to watch atlanta when it was

00:35:48.150 --> 00:35:51.489
on because i loved the whole cast like that wow

00:35:51.489 --> 00:35:57.840
stunning and funny cast in atlanta um Everything

00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:59.380
I've ever seen of Portia has been hilarious.

00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:05.219
She is hilarious. So funny. So funny. But I also

00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:07.579
think Candace is very funny, so it might be one

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:10.239
of those things where they're so similar that

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:13.000
they just don't get along. Because I think that

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:16.760
happens a lot, especially in real life. People

00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:21.610
who are too similar... only see the differences

00:36:21.610 --> 00:36:23.969
in each other and so they just clash and clash

00:36:23.969 --> 00:36:27.110
and clash um but i am excited to see her i'm

00:36:27.110 --> 00:36:29.730
really excited i love i'm i love portia williams

00:36:29.730 --> 00:36:32.369
i think she is just the greatest i love her i

00:36:32.369 --> 00:36:34.090
love her i love her i think she is going to be

00:36:34.090 --> 00:36:37.610
a shining diamond in that house i also think

00:36:37.610 --> 00:36:39.829
she can bring the drama because she's a little

00:36:39.829 --> 00:36:44.530
messy very messy Rob Roush. I don't know who

00:36:44.530 --> 00:36:47.469
that is. I love Rob. Okay, he was from last season

00:36:47.469 --> 00:36:49.730
of Love Island that I just talked about was like

00:36:49.730 --> 00:36:52.269
a huge big deal. He's not one of the ones that

00:36:52.269 --> 00:36:54.670
ended up in a couple, but people do love him.

00:36:54.730 --> 00:36:57.250
He's a Louisiana boy. If he would like to end

00:36:57.250 --> 00:37:02.170
up in a couple, I am single. He is cute and he's

00:37:02.170 --> 00:37:06.639
tall and he's tattooed. Perfect. He's checking

00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:09.539
every box. And the last time I saw anything from

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:13.139
Rob, it was like his sister was like crying,

00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:15.320
upset about something. I don't know, like boy

00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.760
problems or something. And so and he just like

00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:19.780
pulled her around in a boat until she stopped

00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:22.639
crying. He's just he looks like a sweetheart.

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:27.039
Louisiana boy. Right. And he he did do my girl

00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:29.920
a little dirty on Love Island. But it's Love

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:33.409
Island. And yeah, I think that. I think he'll

00:37:33.409 --> 00:37:35.489
be great. I don't think he'll last that long.

00:37:35.590 --> 00:37:38.570
I don't think he's the sharpest knife in the

00:37:38.570 --> 00:37:42.590
box. If you think otherwise, dear viewer, feel

00:37:42.590 --> 00:37:47.230
free to send me an email about it. But I don't

00:37:47.230 --> 00:37:51.010
know how long he'll last in there. I think he

00:37:51.010 --> 00:37:53.389
doesn't really know how to be sneaky. But here's

00:37:53.389 --> 00:37:56.769
the God's honest truth. If he needs arms to run

00:37:56.769 --> 00:38:00.610
into after he gets eliminated, by God, my arms

00:38:00.610 --> 00:38:06.099
are open. He is a beautiful man. Rob Funches.

00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:07.920
I don't know how to say his last name, but I

00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.420
have seen him and stuff. And I think he's funny.

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:12.579
I don't know. I don't know. Kind of a random

00:38:12.579 --> 00:38:16.360
pick for them, I think. But I'm excited. We'll

00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:18.659
see where it goes. Yeah. I love to see a comedian

00:38:18.659 --> 00:38:22.800
on Traders. I think. Stephen Coletti from One

00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.880
Tree Hill. I mean, I've seen One Tree Hill, but

00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:29.030
like. I've never seen One Tree Hill. I remember

00:38:29.030 --> 00:38:30.889
it used to come on either right before or right

00:38:30.889 --> 00:38:34.190
after Charmed. That's the only reason I've seen

00:38:34.190 --> 00:38:37.929
it. I think it was right after because I don't

00:38:37.929 --> 00:38:40.489
know. I don't know. Kind of, again, one of those

00:38:40.489 --> 00:38:43.550
like weird random picks. But I'll tell you, when

00:38:43.550 --> 00:38:48.869
the last cast came out and I saw Dylan Efron,

00:38:49.090 --> 00:38:53.210
I was like, oh, who is you? And then I loved

00:38:53.210 --> 00:38:57.150
him. I still love him. You know what I mean?

00:38:57.210 --> 00:38:59.010
So like some of these I'm saying, oh, what a

00:38:59.010 --> 00:39:00.969
weird random pick and I might fall in love with

00:39:00.969 --> 00:39:02.789
them. Let me let me tell you something. At the

00:39:02.789 --> 00:39:06.949
end of the day, you you can you can know one

00:39:06.949 --> 00:39:11.230
thing. I trust the judgment of the producers

00:39:11.230 --> 00:39:15.289
at NBC, Universal and Peacock to cast the traitors.

00:39:15.650 --> 00:39:19.429
They can tell me they can bring on anyone. They

00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:23.210
can bring on George from down the street. I trust

00:39:23.210 --> 00:39:26.769
you. Yeah, he must have that spark in him because,

00:39:26.849 --> 00:39:30.349
yeah, I don't know. That's all I'm going to say.

00:39:30.449 --> 00:39:32.929
I didn't think Dylan Efron was going to be that

00:39:32.929 --> 00:39:36.269
amazing to me, and he literally took my heart

00:39:36.269 --> 00:39:39.750
away. So I don't know. Tara Lipinski is going

00:39:39.750 --> 00:39:42.590
to be best friends with Johnny Weir. Yeah. Which

00:39:42.590 --> 00:39:44.530
is cool. Both figure skaters. I don't really

00:39:44.530 --> 00:39:47.050
know anything about her, though. Have you seen

00:39:47.050 --> 00:39:50.010
her anywhere else? Only on the Olympics, but

00:39:50.010 --> 00:39:52.320
I know that she was. Very, very talented. I feel

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:56.940
like she was also in the episode of Project Runway

00:39:56.940 --> 00:40:00.739
that... Were they partners? Did they skate together?

00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:04.679
Maybe. I bet we find out on the traders. I bet

00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:06.400
we find out when their best friends are running

00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:08.980
around. Yeah. Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother.

00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:12.059
Never watched Big Brother. Didn't know. Yam Yam.

00:40:12.059 --> 00:40:14.420
You're going to know something else about this

00:40:14.420 --> 00:40:20.840
man and me. Yeah. Yamiel Orocho. Orocho? Orocho.

00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.360
Orocho. Yam Yam from Survivor. Not know to him.

00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:28.489
Don't know him, but. I'm excited to see. Yeah,

00:40:28.570 --> 00:40:30.150
I think it's going to be a really great season.

00:40:30.269 --> 00:40:32.869
I think The Traitors has only gotten better and

00:40:32.869 --> 00:40:36.809
better each season. Oh, my God. They can do no

00:40:36.809 --> 00:40:41.030
wrong in my eyes. Gold. And this cast is amazing.

00:40:41.150 --> 00:40:43.530
I don't see this season going any differently.

00:40:44.409 --> 00:40:46.170
Are you ready for The Secret Lives of Mormon

00:40:46.170 --> 00:40:50.949
Wives? Yes. So here's the thing. Travis has only

00:40:50.949 --> 00:40:53.130
seen episodes one and two, so we're going to

00:40:53.130 --> 00:40:55.090
try to get through this without me absolutely

00:40:55.090 --> 00:41:01.050
spoiling it for him. Let us dive in. Let's dive

00:41:01.050 --> 00:41:03.969
in. So we start episode one. It's called The

00:41:03.969 --> 00:41:08.190
Book of Revelations. The opening scene is the

00:41:08.190 --> 00:41:10.829
season opener party where they what they're trying

00:41:10.829 --> 00:41:14.489
very hard to do is take the Real Housewives format.

00:41:15.230 --> 00:41:17.789
where they have a season opening party and it's

00:41:17.789 --> 00:41:20.929
a whole thing. And it's like you're reintroduced

00:41:20.929 --> 00:41:22.929
to the show. That's very clear what's happening

00:41:22.929 --> 00:41:27.530
during this party is where I was trying to, like,

00:41:27.550 --> 00:41:29.769
figure out who was who, because, you know, that

00:41:29.769 --> 00:41:33.150
like two or three of the girls were exactly the

00:41:33.150 --> 00:41:35.510
same person in my mind. And that's why I like

00:41:35.510 --> 00:41:39.250
I had to take detailed notes because I thought

00:41:39.250 --> 00:41:44.460
Jen Taylor and. Is it Demi? I think Jen Taylor

00:41:44.460 --> 00:41:46.119
and Demi, I thought were the same person for

00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:49.539
a little bit. Yeah. In your defense, a lot of

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:52.760
them look very similar. They're all getting their

00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.860
procedures done at the same place. Hello. So

00:41:55.860 --> 00:41:59.679
it's like they all look the same, though. Demon

00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:03.500
Monster Whitney is back. That's all I have to

00:42:03.500 --> 00:42:06.320
say about her. I don't like Whitney. If that

00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:10.119
changes during the season, then that changes.

00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:14.940
I do not like Whitney. It was Aspen Ovard was

00:42:14.940 --> 00:42:16.900
at their opening party. I don't know who that

00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:20.760
is. She's an influencer. It was kind of weird.

00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:24.860
It's all kind of like too self -aware for me.

00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:27.820
Yeah. This is going to bring me to a point in

00:42:27.820 --> 00:42:31.980
a minute, but go ahead. I feel like I don't know.

00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:33.960
And you'll have to watch the rest of it and see

00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:37.139
how you feel about it. I feel like Whitney is

00:42:37.139 --> 00:42:40.420
there because she wants that MomTalk money. That's

00:42:40.420 --> 00:42:42.980
all any of them are there for. And this is what

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:45.920
we need to realize. This is a reality show. They're

00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:50.699
making a reality show based on a TikTok influencer

00:42:50.699 --> 00:42:54.239
group, which is fine. Yeah. But let's not make

00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:57.639
it about anything else. Like, I want to see what's

00:42:57.639 --> 00:42:59.340
going on in their lives just like I want to see

00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:00.739
what's going on in the Real Housewives lives.

00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:04.199
Right. But that doesn't mean you have to pretend

00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:08.320
to be best friends. So I would I come at it from

00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.840
a different angle where like the best housewife

00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:14.119
shows are the shows where they have real relationships.

00:43:14.139 --> 00:43:17.300
I agree. I just don't think Whitney is there

00:43:17.300 --> 00:43:19.739
in order to gain a real relationship. I agree.

00:43:19.820 --> 00:43:24.579
I think she's there to get that check, baby.

00:43:24.699 --> 00:43:27.880
And that's fine. I just I have a hard time with

00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.760
this whole thing of like my mom taught group.

00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:34.219
I'm so protective of her. No, you're not. No,

00:43:34.219 --> 00:43:35.199
you're not. Cause you're going to get the check.

00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.500
You throw it. Stop. Just stop. Like that seems

00:43:37.500 --> 00:43:41.679
disingenuous to me. Yeah. Whitney really didn't

00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:44.539
grow on me at all. No, I do not like Whitney.

00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:47.820
And maybe that'll change. I do not like her right

00:43:47.820 --> 00:43:51.320
now. New girl, Miranda used to be best friends

00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:54.639
with Taylor. Okay. So, so, you know, the tea,

00:43:54.780 --> 00:43:57.480
she was like part of the group that was swinging.

00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:00.860
Right. And that I listen, I'm going to go on

00:44:00.860 --> 00:44:02.340
record right now. If you want to swing, swing.

00:44:02.989 --> 00:44:05.630
I want that for you. I love that for you. I would

00:44:05.630 --> 00:44:07.849
love to know the actual truth of this situation,

00:44:08.070 --> 00:44:11.010
though. I too. Because there is such a weird.

00:44:11.650 --> 00:44:14.429
And you'll see if you haven't yet. They like

00:44:14.429 --> 00:44:18.309
Taylor and Miranda talk about it. And we still

00:44:18.309 --> 00:44:20.829
don't really know what the real truth is. I've

00:44:20.829 --> 00:44:23.769
seen the preview of it. OK. But as of right now,

00:44:23.869 --> 00:44:27.030
all we all we have heard from Miranda is I only

00:44:27.030 --> 00:44:29.550
played the bottle or played spin the bottle and

00:44:29.550 --> 00:44:33.699
kissed a guy. So like, OK, I want you to watch

00:44:33.699 --> 00:44:35.940
a couple more episodes where Miranda gets to

00:44:35.940 --> 00:44:39.579
say her piece. And then I want to dive into what

00:44:39.579 --> 00:44:42.039
we think the real truth is, because I'll tell

00:44:42.039 --> 00:44:44.599
you right now, we never get like a here is what

00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:49.119
happened. We never get that. We go to Jen and

00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:52.500
Zach. Their marriage is falling apart and now

00:44:52.500 --> 00:44:54.579
they're separated. Here's what I believe happened

00:44:54.579 --> 00:44:57.809
with Jen and Zach. I believe Jen. started making

00:44:57.809 --> 00:45:01.550
a ton of money from MomTalk. She's a multi -millionaire

00:45:01.550 --> 00:45:04.050
from being an influencer and the brand deal she's

00:45:04.050 --> 00:45:06.510
getting and from the check she's getting from

00:45:06.510 --> 00:45:10.670
Hulu. 100%. I believe Zach said, oh, I can take

00:45:10.670 --> 00:45:13.550
a year in profit off of this. I think he might

00:45:13.550 --> 00:45:15.670
have said, I don't need to be a doctor anymore.

00:45:16.250 --> 00:45:18.869
Maybe. You're married. Or maybe he wants to take

00:45:18.869 --> 00:45:21.550
a minute and be a dad. They have kids. Whatever

00:45:21.550 --> 00:45:26.739
you want. I don't care. What I don't need is

00:45:26.739 --> 00:45:31.079
the narcissistic, well, I'm taking time away

00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:33.260
from med school for you. I don't want all that.

00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:38.159
Yeah, it made me very uncomfortable. You have

00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:41.320
not gotten to the pin drop for Jen and Zach yet.

00:45:41.860 --> 00:45:45.420
We'll get there when we get there. It's mostly

00:45:45.420 --> 00:45:50.519
Jen. Jen, I'll just say this to those of you

00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:56.099
who have already seen this whole season. I am

00:45:56.099 --> 00:46:00.280
on Jen's side, and I think my heart goes out

00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:03.300
to her, truly. You need to see what happens and

00:46:03.300 --> 00:46:05.239
how they treat her this season. It is actually

00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:09.500
disgusting, in my opinion. Okay, fair. I will

00:46:09.500 --> 00:46:12.840
say Zach does look better with the new haircut.

00:46:13.019 --> 00:46:16.739
I agree. I agree. I'm going to be nice about

00:46:16.739 --> 00:46:22.019
Zach on the podcast. I don't want to be a homophobe.

00:46:24.750 --> 00:46:28.210
Moving on. During Pride Month. Not in June. So

00:46:28.210 --> 00:46:33.849
I forgot that season one closed with Macy calling

00:46:33.849 --> 00:46:39.909
Dakota's side chick Jenna. And we pick up at

00:46:39.909 --> 00:46:44.829
Macy's house with them meeting up with Jenna.

00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:51.099
Yes. OK, that was that was so I could not believe.

00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:56.239
And I love Macy. I really like Macy. This whole

00:46:56.239 --> 00:46:58.739
season, she's really in her bag. I love her.

00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:02.579
And I love that she was like, yeah, we can have

00:47:02.579 --> 00:47:05.360
your baby daddy's side chick over to my house.

00:47:05.420 --> 00:47:07.539
I would love to see that. Let me tell you something

00:47:07.539 --> 00:47:13.639
else. I love that this girl signed a. Release

00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:17.679
and said, yeah, I'll go on TV. I love that. I

00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.280
love mess. And I love because what I wholeheartedly

00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:24.780
believe. And this is something about Utah and

00:47:24.780 --> 00:47:27.039
Salt Lake City in general, Salt Lake City in

00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:31.099
Utah in general, where I believe that they are

00:47:31.099 --> 00:47:34.880
not. They're self -aware that they're public.

00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.159
They're not self -aware that their reality stars

00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:42.070
yet. And this girl said. I'm just going to go

00:47:42.070 --> 00:47:45.869
on TV and talk about my experience. Diva, you're

00:47:45.869 --> 00:47:50.730
going to shatter glass ceilings right here. You're

00:47:50.730 --> 00:47:54.670
being an icon. The way she handed Taylor her

00:47:54.670 --> 00:47:57.130
phone and she said, read it, mama. I don't care.

00:47:57.730 --> 00:48:01.389
Queen, queen, queen, queen. Loved it. I would

00:48:01.389 --> 00:48:04.119
argue that we need more. girls like that to be

00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:07.260
allies. Just be a hundred percent transparent.

00:48:07.579 --> 00:48:09.800
I think it comes from a place of insecurity.

00:48:09.980 --> 00:48:11.980
Most of the time when girls like don't share

00:48:11.980 --> 00:48:14.320
anything and are like that, I think it comes,

00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:17.320
it's a genuine place, but it is a place of insecurity.

00:48:18.099 --> 00:48:19.599
Well, because it's like, I was the other girl.

00:48:19.659 --> 00:48:22.739
Like, well, I fully get that. Yeah. But this

00:48:22.739 --> 00:48:25.280
girl just handed her phone right on over to Taylor.

00:48:25.300 --> 00:48:27.179
And you could tell Taylor wanted to be mad at

00:48:27.179 --> 00:48:29.159
her so bad, but couldn't be mad at her. She couldn't

00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.579
find it in her. And that's where the breakdown

00:48:31.579 --> 00:48:33.289
came from. Because I think she went into the

00:48:33.289 --> 00:48:35.550
situation and she said, I'm going to rip this

00:48:35.550 --> 00:48:37.409
girl apart. I'm going to take this girl on national

00:48:37.409 --> 00:48:40.909
television. I'm going to ruin her. And she couldn't

00:48:40.909 --> 00:48:42.829
do it because the girl was so forthright and

00:48:42.829 --> 00:48:45.510
honest. A hundred percent. And that's where the

00:48:45.510 --> 00:48:48.730
tears and like the ugly sobbing came from. Because

00:48:48.730 --> 00:48:52.849
I think that she was like. fuck i don't i don't

00:48:52.849 --> 00:48:55.670
have an out here i think she expected for jenna

00:48:55.670 --> 00:48:59.010
to be vindictive or even like possessive over

00:48:59.010 --> 00:49:01.889
what she had with dakota but she's an absolute

00:49:01.889 --> 00:49:04.489
icon and a queen who was like i i don't care

00:49:04.489 --> 00:49:08.289
about that man read my text uh i yeah loved it

00:49:08.289 --> 00:49:12.750
loved it loved it Even when Taylor was being

00:49:12.750 --> 00:49:15.349
absolutely delusional, like asking about specific

00:49:15.349 --> 00:49:18.789
dates that are like over a year in the past and

00:49:18.789 --> 00:49:21.550
asking about. But she was still honest and she's

00:49:21.550 --> 00:49:23.050
like, hang on, what did we say around that date?

00:49:23.130 --> 00:49:25.809
And she like filled in the gap for her. Yeah,

00:49:25.809 --> 00:49:27.650
she was like going through her text with Dakota

00:49:27.650 --> 00:49:29.550
during that time frame and was like, yeah, I

00:49:29.550 --> 00:49:32.289
saw him that day. I guess I didn't see him that

00:49:32.289 --> 00:49:34.269
day, but what we said was this and this and this.

00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:37.199
And then she was like, so there was like one

00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:39.420
point where she didn't remember and like she

00:49:39.420 --> 00:49:41.079
just stood on business because Taylor kind of

00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:42.980
put pressure on her to be like, well, what is

00:49:42.980 --> 00:49:46.659
it? And she was like, girl, I don't know. But

00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:49.679
the saddest part, I think, was where I guess

00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:52.380
Dakota and I do believe this. Dakota said, I'm

00:49:52.380 --> 00:49:54.380
only hanging out with Taylor to like grow my

00:49:54.380 --> 00:49:57.139
social media following. And I was like, fuck

00:49:57.139 --> 00:50:00.139
you. I knew he was a clout chaser. I knew he

00:50:00.139 --> 00:50:02.420
was a clout chaser. But he was like, how could

00:50:02.420 --> 00:50:05.199
he have known? What he was getting into with

00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:08.079
Taylor that early on. She already had millions

00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.559
of followers. Is she really? She's been big on

00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:14.500
TikTok forever. She was the girl. If you don't

00:50:14.500 --> 00:50:18.199
know this about Taylor, Frankie Paul, she was

00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:22.380
the girl who was going on TikTok with two girls

00:50:22.380 --> 00:50:26.260
who were her same age and saying that she was

00:50:26.260 --> 00:50:31.449
50 and they were her kids. i don't remember this

00:50:31.449 --> 00:50:33.889
you need to do a deep dive on this because it's

00:50:33.889 --> 00:50:36.769
it was actually like i don't know what she was

00:50:36.769 --> 00:50:38.889
thinking but she was like telling all of tiktok

00:50:38.889 --> 00:50:41.769
this is how she like gained her initial following

00:50:41.769 --> 00:50:44.610
i think it was years ago i'm not shading her

00:50:44.610 --> 00:50:47.769
for this by the way but she would go on there

00:50:47.769 --> 00:50:50.409
and she would say yeah me and my two girls and

00:50:50.409 --> 00:50:52.610
it would be like picture miranda and michaela

00:50:52.610 --> 00:50:56.360
like next to her dancing and she's like I'm their

00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:59.519
mom. I'm 50 years old. And she's our age. Yeah.

00:50:59.619 --> 00:51:03.460
Okay. Yeah. It's kind of a weird thing, but she's

00:51:03.460 --> 00:51:09.039
always had a lot of followers. So, dear listener,

00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:11.940
just know that an upcoming Mama Let's Research

00:51:11.940 --> 00:51:14.880
segment will be about one Miss Taylor Frankie

00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:18.630
Paul. She has a lot of depth to her. And can

00:51:18.630 --> 00:51:20.769
I just say, I'm really not shading Taylor. I

00:51:20.769 --> 00:51:25.030
think she went through it this season. Oh, a

00:51:25.030 --> 00:51:26.989
million percent. I can see it coming. It's going

00:51:26.989 --> 00:51:28.789
to be a dark, dark, dark season for her. It is

00:51:28.789 --> 00:51:33.309
hard on her. And I think she really handled it

00:51:33.309 --> 00:51:36.969
with grace for the most part. There's an incident

00:51:36.969 --> 00:51:39.789
you'll see where it's like she could have just

00:51:39.789 --> 00:51:45.489
let some shit go. But she... The way her family

00:51:45.489 --> 00:51:48.090
wasn't on her side, the way no one's on her side.

00:51:48.090 --> 00:51:50.869
I've got notes about that one, too. She, yeah,

00:51:51.110 --> 00:51:54.989
she really handled most of it with grace. Anyway,

00:51:55.150 --> 00:52:00.150
yeah. Miranda and Whitney go to the park. I could

00:52:00.150 --> 00:52:01.610
have done without that. That's all I'll say.

00:52:01.730 --> 00:52:03.449
I also could have done without the haunted house,

00:52:03.510 --> 00:52:06.429
but I understand it was a plot point to get to

00:52:06.429 --> 00:52:08.269
them all sitting down and talking because that

00:52:08.269 --> 00:52:13.119
is. another real housewives trope yeah um they

00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:16.760
had to they get the group together right some

00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:19.460
one of the girls says anyone that joins mom talk

00:52:19.460 --> 00:52:22.179
at this point is just clout chasing and my question

00:52:22.179 --> 00:52:26.119
is is that not like the whole you are all clout

00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:29.780
chasing every single one of you even may see

00:52:29.780 --> 00:52:34.280
my favorite girl it is a clout you want clout

00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:39.170
because mama you Want that check. And that's

00:52:39.170 --> 00:52:43.789
OK. No one is mad at you. No one's mad at you.

00:52:43.829 --> 00:52:47.250
And I understand that you're like defending your

00:52:47.250 --> 00:52:51.110
position. Sure. And you don't want you don't

00:52:51.110 --> 00:52:53.630
want your money to be diluted or your followers

00:52:53.630 --> 00:52:56.750
or whatever to be diluted by too many people

00:52:56.750 --> 00:52:59.530
coming in and, you know, people favoring them.

00:52:59.610 --> 00:53:02.530
Yeah. But you don't have to call them cloud chasers

00:53:02.530 --> 00:53:04.929
because that's because divas over you and kettle

00:53:04.929 --> 00:53:11.099
baby. Um, we cut to Taylor's mom showing up at

00:53:11.099 --> 00:53:14.980
Taylor's house with ever true is her child's

00:53:14.980 --> 00:53:20.480
name. Yeah. Which is fine. Like fine. Taylor's

00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:24.619
mom has had a lot of work done. My thing is like,

00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:27.880
yes, she got a lot of work done. And why does

00:53:27.880 --> 00:53:31.909
the work make her look like Taylor? Let me tell

00:53:31.909 --> 00:53:34.429
you, because this is something I'm going to talk

00:53:34.429 --> 00:53:37.389
about in episode two in just a couple minutes

00:53:37.389 --> 00:53:41.769
where I have a theory about this. But I think,

00:53:41.849 --> 00:53:45.489
yeah, OK, we'll get into it in a minute. I'm

00:53:45.489 --> 00:53:49.730
not interested in Taylor's mom's Mormon family

00:53:49.730 --> 00:53:53.500
values bullshit. I am not interested because

00:53:53.500 --> 00:53:56.559
let me tell you where this stems from is I grew

00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:59.960
up in the church. I've seen a million separations,

00:53:59.960 --> 00:54:02.380
breakups, divorces go down just like this, where

00:54:02.380 --> 00:54:07.340
the family does every the family of the woman

00:54:07.340 --> 00:54:09.940
does everything in their power to keep the man

00:54:09.940 --> 00:54:12.639
and the woman together because it's shameful

00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:14.380
to be divorced. It's shameful to be a single

00:54:14.380 --> 00:54:16.960
mother. It's sick. Let me tell you right now,

00:54:17.019 --> 00:54:22.800
it is sick. It reminded me of season one of Salt

00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:25.900
Lake City. Heather Gay saying, yes, you should

00:54:25.900 --> 00:54:28.019
stay in your toxic marriage because that's what

00:54:28.019 --> 00:54:31.280
she was raised to believe. It is like a brainwashing

00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:34.760
thing. It is. It's actually like sad for me to

00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:38.239
see because people would rather struggle. Right.

00:54:38.380 --> 00:54:41.219
And that that's hard for me to come to terms

00:54:41.219 --> 00:54:44.500
with. Yes. I would be a single mom every day

00:54:44.500 --> 00:54:48.269
over. being miserable with a man. Being miserable,

00:54:48.369 --> 00:54:51.010
but, like, I would take it one step further.

00:54:52.110 --> 00:54:55.650
Before I would, like, I would ask, I think it's

00:54:55.650 --> 00:54:57.170
fine to ask the question, like, are you sure,

00:54:57.329 --> 00:55:00.309
like, you're done? And that's a fine question

00:55:00.309 --> 00:55:02.170
to ask. That's the reason there are separation

00:55:02.170 --> 00:55:04.969
laws in so many states. Yes. You have to be separated,

00:55:05.110 --> 00:55:08.389
yeah. Because you want to be sure. To push your

00:55:08.389 --> 00:55:10.929
child to stay in a relationship in which she

00:55:10.929 --> 00:55:13.869
is miserable, you are the bad person. Yeah, your

00:55:13.869 --> 00:55:16.079
daughter? Period, full stop. you're gonna sit

00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:19.840
there to your daughter uh is episode two when

00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:23.019
they're like at Taylor's family's house I can't

00:55:23.019 --> 00:55:26.139
wait to talk about that can't wait I could not

00:55:26.139 --> 00:55:30.179
believe the way her family spoke to her anyway

00:55:30.179 --> 00:55:33.280
we'll get there Taylor wants a break from Dakota

00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:36.159
is where they land and I support that I think

00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:38.420
that's probably the smart move I'll tell you

00:55:38.969 --> 00:55:41.130
Early on in the season, especially, she kind

00:55:41.130 --> 00:55:43.269
of flips back and forth. I've already seen her

00:55:43.269 --> 00:55:47.590
flip twice. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So Jen and Zach

00:55:47.590 --> 00:55:50.550
go to ketamine therapy. Which I support, by the

00:55:50.550 --> 00:55:52.030
way. I want them to go to ketamine therapy. I

00:55:52.030 --> 00:55:54.429
think it was a smart decision for them to do

00:55:54.429 --> 00:56:00.010
that. I wish Zach was more into it. Can I tell

00:56:00.010 --> 00:56:03.610
you something? Hmm. I don't believe Zach actually

00:56:03.610 --> 00:56:07.750
did it. Really? Yes. Even with the needle in

00:56:07.750 --> 00:56:10.940
his arm? I don't believe he did it because of

00:56:10.940 --> 00:56:13.800
the way he acted. I believe that Jin did it.

00:56:13.800 --> 00:56:15.860
It did give like fake high. Where it was like,

00:56:15.940 --> 00:56:19.760
oh, how long were we out? Shut up. I believe

00:56:19.760 --> 00:56:23.119
that he had done it. Prior to this episode, I

00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:25.699
do not believe that he did it on camera, which

00:56:25.699 --> 00:56:27.900
is fine. If you don't want to do it on camera,

00:56:28.019 --> 00:56:30.219
that's fine. But don't do the whole song and

00:56:30.219 --> 00:56:33.980
dance for me, please. Don't lie. Don't lie. And

00:56:33.980 --> 00:56:37.519
I, yeah, he kind of did like the whole fake high

00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:41.320
thing. And then it was like gone in an instant.

00:56:41.480 --> 00:56:44.980
It was weird. It was weird. Jen decides that

00:56:44.980 --> 00:56:47.800
Zach needs to meet with some of the girls to

00:56:47.800 --> 00:56:52.029
clear the air or whatever the case may be. So

00:56:52.029 --> 00:56:56.329
we cut back to Taylor's house. Dakota's moving

00:56:56.329 --> 00:57:02.409
out. And it goes to an interview with him. This

00:57:02.409 --> 00:57:05.409
is the moment I realize I like him better in

00:57:05.409 --> 00:57:09.389
a hat. There are a lot of men out there who look

00:57:09.389 --> 00:57:12.829
far better with a hat on. And this was hard for

00:57:12.829 --> 00:57:15.170
me because I spent the entire first season being

00:57:15.170 --> 00:57:17.110
like, oh, my God, stay together. He's so hot.

00:57:17.150 --> 00:57:19.869
He's so hot. He's so hot. And now I'm like. Oh,

00:57:19.909 --> 00:57:24.389
so Dakota's moving out. Thank God. And what I

00:57:24.389 --> 00:57:27.489
what I took away from this interview, and I hope

00:57:27.489 --> 00:57:31.809
I'm not wrong, is that I will buy that he loves

00:57:31.809 --> 00:57:35.949
Taylor on some level. I think that he does. But

00:57:35.949 --> 00:57:39.409
I think it all stems from like, I want to keep

00:57:39.409 --> 00:57:42.590
the family together thing. And I don't. Maybe.

00:57:43.170 --> 00:57:45.710
And I don't like that. But what I do believe

00:57:45.710 --> 00:57:49.710
more is that he's got that dog in him. He needs.

00:57:51.130 --> 00:57:55.989
I don't know. I have no sympathy for him. He's

00:57:55.989 --> 00:57:59.889
in his 30s. He has a kid. Yeah. Fucking grow

00:57:59.889 --> 00:58:02.750
up. And that's and I think he needs to be single

00:58:02.750 --> 00:58:05.730
until he can grow up. I think Taylor and Dakota

00:58:05.730 --> 00:58:09.230
needs to last until he can grow up or forever.

00:58:09.610 --> 00:58:13.869
Anyway, we cut to Miranda's happy hour. Yeah.

00:58:16.420 --> 00:58:20.480
Demi. Demi doesn't want one more problem bleeding

00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:22.840
into the group for the health of the mom. Shut

00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:25.559
up. She's the villain of the season. I'll just

00:58:25.559 --> 00:58:29.280
tell you. She turns into an absolute demon and

00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:32.800
I can't wait for you to see it. Perfect. Jen

00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:34.460
doesn't know if she can trust anyone after Vegas

00:58:34.460 --> 00:58:38.719
because she says no one supported her when she

00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:41.840
was going through her stuff with Zach. And have

00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:45.360
you seen the Halloween party yet? I've seen the

00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:47.599
first half of it because like the second episode

00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:51.239
cuts off at the halfway through. And this is

00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:55.119
where I start. I started to be on Jen's side

00:58:55.119 --> 00:58:56.579
a little bit where I'm like, oh, that sucks.

00:58:56.760 --> 00:58:58.820
Like everyone knows what that feels like to be

00:58:58.820 --> 00:59:01.380
going through something and like, yeah. And feel

00:59:01.380 --> 00:59:03.480
like you don't have the support of your friends

00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:06.019
on top of going through it with your husband.

00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:08.800
That's hard. But just you wait, ladies and gentlemen,

00:59:08.860 --> 00:59:12.219
just you wait. So Miranda and Taylor decide to

00:59:12.219 --> 00:59:15.389
have. Their conversation with the entire group,

00:59:15.449 --> 00:59:17.650
of course, because how are you going to drive

00:59:17.650 --> 00:59:22.949
a plot? Right, right, right, right. And and that's

00:59:22.949 --> 00:59:25.590
where the episode ends. And the last thing I

00:59:25.590 --> 00:59:28.050
wrote was, I think I'm a fan of Miranda. Tell

00:59:28.050 --> 00:59:31.530
me if I'm wrong about this. I like her, too.

00:59:31.730 --> 00:59:35.409
OK, I think. OK, so like I'm coming from obviously

00:59:35.409 --> 00:59:37.170
a different perspective because I've seen the

00:59:37.170 --> 00:59:42.010
whole thing. I wish she spoke up. More like I

00:59:42.010 --> 00:59:44.110
wish she stood on business a little bit more

00:59:44.110 --> 00:59:46.969
than she does, because I feel like she's kind

00:59:46.969 --> 00:59:51.210
of a background character for most of it. Does

00:59:51.210 --> 00:59:55.550
that ever change? No. OK, like what you see from

00:59:55.550 --> 00:59:57.489
her in the first episode is the most you see

00:59:57.489 --> 01:00:00.150
of her. It brings us to episode two where we

01:00:00.150 --> 01:00:02.929
pick up where we left off at Miranda's happy

01:00:02.929 --> 01:00:07.219
hour. yeah okay let's get into it i feel like

01:00:07.219 --> 01:00:10.719
miranda's not being 100 honest about yeah i think

01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:14.619
that i think she's not being honest and i think

01:00:14.619 --> 01:00:19.019
taylor is doing her a service by not just airing

01:00:19.019 --> 01:00:23.719
everything out i agree and i appreciate and resent

01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:27.860
it at the same time because i think In these

01:00:27.860 --> 01:00:30.539
situations, you gotta be 100 % real about it.

01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:33.840
Just be real. Yeah. But I also get that, like,

01:00:33.860 --> 01:00:35.699
in these scenarios, it's like, you don't want

01:00:35.699 --> 01:00:40.039
to do that. And it's also awkward because Taylor

01:00:40.039 --> 01:00:44.559
was the beginning of the end of Miranda's marriage.

01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:51.159
Yes. And so it's like, she doesn't want to ruin

01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:55.400
her marriage and then also ruin her... TV career

01:00:55.400 --> 01:00:57.460
and all of that, because I don't think she has

01:00:57.460 --> 01:01:01.639
a vendetta against Miranda. No. So I think I

01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:03.119
also think there's a loyalty there because they

01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:06.340
did used to be like best friends. Yeah. And they

01:01:06.340 --> 01:01:11.079
were fucking. But anyway, I think so. You did

01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:14.820
they talk about Chase at this point at all? They

01:01:14.820 --> 01:01:17.739
talked about how Taylor goes up to Chase, Miranda's

01:01:17.739 --> 01:01:20.960
ex -husband, and said at the gym and says, I

01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:23.309
had a sex dream about you. And he said. I think

01:01:23.309 --> 01:01:28.530
I have feelings for you. Yeah. And that is the

01:01:28.530 --> 01:01:30.989
most Utah thing I've ever heard in my entire

01:01:30.989 --> 01:01:33.809
life. He said, let me make that dream a reality,

01:01:34.030 --> 01:01:36.510
which is crazy because I think they were already

01:01:36.510 --> 01:01:40.769
fucking. But like Taylor was also like, oh, no,

01:01:40.849 --> 01:01:44.150
no, no, no. Right. Like I'm friends with your

01:01:44.150 --> 01:01:48.289
wife type of thing. Like, OK, so I do think it's

01:01:48.289 --> 01:01:50.670
inappropriate to go up to your best friend's.

01:01:51.529 --> 01:01:55.030
and say, I had a sex dream about you. Is it inappropriate

01:01:55.030 --> 01:01:58.949
if you've been doing it, though? But I'm saying

01:01:58.949 --> 01:02:01.150
that's what makes me think they're fucking. That's

01:02:01.150 --> 01:02:03.230
the only reason Taylor would feel like it's an

01:02:03.230 --> 01:02:05.809
okay thing to say. Oh, hang on a second. I believe

01:02:05.809 --> 01:02:08.429
Taylor 100 % would say that to anyone in real

01:02:08.429 --> 01:02:11.210
life. It's just the vibe I get from her. I don't

01:02:11.210 --> 01:02:16.530
think she would go up to Demi's husband and say,

01:02:16.650 --> 01:02:19.130
I had a sex dream about you. Can I say something?

01:02:19.389 --> 01:02:22.739
You think she would? I would to Timmy's husband.

01:02:23.019 --> 01:02:25.699
Well, yeah, he's hot. That was kind of a... To

01:02:25.699 --> 01:02:30.840
Jesse's husband. I don't think she would do that

01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:34.380
unless they were already in that type of relationship.

01:02:35.869 --> 01:02:38.650
I don't know. I do think Taylor tends to speak

01:02:38.650 --> 01:02:41.469
her mind. But to just go up to your best friend's

01:02:41.469 --> 01:02:44.789
husband. That's fair. Like, there's no way that

01:02:44.789 --> 01:02:48.050
they weren't fucking. There's no way. But what

01:02:48.050 --> 01:02:51.730
I can also tell you is that Taylor owned up to

01:02:51.730 --> 01:02:55.030
being an asshole. That's what I respected about

01:02:55.030 --> 01:02:58.690
her the most this season is that she's kind of

01:02:58.690 --> 01:03:02.469
owning her shit. Yes. Like when she, you haven't

01:03:02.469 --> 01:03:04.030
gotten to a part where she doesn't really own

01:03:04.030 --> 01:03:06.710
her shit. But for the most part, she really is

01:03:06.710 --> 01:03:10.989
like, even with Dakota, you'll see later on she

01:03:10.989 --> 01:03:14.849
gets to a point where she's very much like, he

01:03:14.849 --> 01:03:17.630
triggers me. Every time I look at him, I think

01:03:17.630 --> 01:03:20.050
about when he cheated and it triggers me. And

01:03:20.050 --> 01:03:22.550
that is so self -aware of her. Right. Like that

01:03:22.550 --> 01:03:28.139
is. a very mature thing to say I know that I'm

01:03:28.139 --> 01:03:31.199
not being rational yes that like and I really

01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:33.840
appreciated that we don't see that a lot and

01:03:33.840 --> 01:03:36.940
what what I thought was very cool is she actually

01:03:36.940 --> 01:03:40.980
said I was also a villain here and like what

01:03:40.980 --> 01:03:43.920
the other girls aren't seeing is I was a villain

01:03:44.909 --> 01:03:47.630
And they are being really hard on Miranda. And

01:03:47.630 --> 01:03:49.389
I don't think that's fair to her. She said that.

01:03:49.409 --> 01:03:51.269
And I thought that was very cool of her. I thought

01:03:51.269 --> 01:03:53.550
they were almost like hazing her, especially

01:03:53.550 --> 01:03:58.769
Michaela. Michaela went off the fucking rails.

01:03:59.230 --> 01:04:02.130
And I did not think she needed to. I will say,

01:04:02.170 --> 01:04:04.050
I think later on in the season, she might have

01:04:04.050 --> 01:04:06.469
apologized for that, for saying like she went

01:04:06.469 --> 01:04:10.369
a little too hard on Miranda. But like, whoa.

01:04:11.210 --> 01:04:16.010
Whoa. Was that uncalled for? Yes, 100%. The girls

01:04:16.010 --> 01:04:18.909
go shopping for Halloween and Stagecoach, and

01:04:18.909 --> 01:04:21.090
all I wrote here was that Jessie and Layla are

01:04:21.090 --> 01:04:23.610
so goddamn pretty. They are. They are beautiful.

01:04:24.630 --> 01:04:27.610
They do Layla dirty on this season, too. Like,

01:04:27.670 --> 01:04:30.929
they're showing her extension tracks. They're

01:04:30.929 --> 01:04:33.230
showing her, like, the producers should have

01:04:33.230 --> 01:04:34.989
stepped in and, like, fixed her up situation.

01:04:35.010 --> 01:04:36.710
That's mean. I don't like that. They do her so

01:04:36.710 --> 01:04:40.000
dirty. She is stunning, gorgeous, beautiful.

01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:44.679
Yes. Um, and so is Jesse. Yeah. Also, obviously

01:04:44.679 --> 01:04:47.139
Jesse's hair is always going to look good. Cause

01:04:47.139 --> 01:04:48.659
she's like a hairstylist, right? Yeah. That's

01:04:48.659 --> 01:04:52.519
her thing. Okay. Um, and she, but my God, does

01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:56.219
it always look good? Yes. Like so amazing. Yes.

01:04:56.219 --> 01:04:59.719
Love, love, love. The guys go fly fishing. Dakota

01:04:59.719 --> 01:05:03.780
has a hat back on. Thank God. Um, I find out

01:05:03.780 --> 01:05:07.420
here that Demi's husband is 47 and high. I, Really

01:05:07.420 --> 01:05:11.599
love that. We find out that Taylor's mom invited

01:05:11.599 --> 01:05:15.500
Dakota to a cookout. I could have done without

01:05:15.500 --> 01:05:18.000
the fly fishing. I didn't need that. I don't

01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:22.059
really know why they did it except for the conversation

01:05:22.059 --> 01:05:24.719
with Zach. I think that was the whole point.

01:05:24.719 --> 01:05:26.599
It was a plot driver to get the guys together.

01:05:26.980 --> 01:05:29.260
Yeah. Where Zach could admit he was an asshole

01:05:29.260 --> 01:05:31.900
about the Chippendales thing. Okay. Which is

01:05:31.900 --> 01:05:33.880
going to rear its ugly head again in a minute.

01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:37.710
Yeah, because he didn't. He didn't actually mean

01:05:37.710 --> 01:05:43.610
that, did he? What I'll buy is that he meant

01:05:43.610 --> 01:05:46.590
it if he wasn't ever going to have to deal with

01:05:46.590 --> 01:05:49.550
it again. And here's here's the God's honest

01:05:49.550 --> 01:05:52.469
truth. There's a reason for the saying what happens

01:05:52.469 --> 01:05:55.570
in Vegas stays in Vegas, because I I have been

01:05:55.570 --> 01:05:59.769
to these Chippendales, these Thunderdown undershows

01:05:59.769 --> 01:06:03.250
in Vegas where you go. And it's a bunch of married

01:06:03.250 --> 01:06:09.510
women who. just need a thrill and that's fine

01:06:09.510 --> 01:06:13.429
and it's it's designed for bachelorette parties

01:06:13.429 --> 01:06:16.989
is all it is yeah and yeah none of it's real

01:06:16.989 --> 01:06:20.210
none of it is substantive and it's like oh my

01:06:20.210 --> 01:06:21.889
god that was so much fun it's the same thing

01:06:21.889 --> 01:06:24.769
as going to a strip club I think it's fine if

01:06:24.769 --> 01:06:26.829
you want to go but I also think it's fine if

01:06:26.829 --> 01:06:28.929
you have a boundary in your marriage where it's

01:06:28.929 --> 01:06:31.230
like hey I'm not entirely comfortable with you

01:06:31.230 --> 01:06:35.420
going where I do have a problem is Zach telling

01:06:35.420 --> 01:06:37.920
jen that he doesn't love her anymore over it

01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:40.500
i think that's very problematic because i think

01:06:40.500 --> 01:06:45.880
that i also maybe we need to unpack that i also

01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:51.559
just get to a point where He is like in general

01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:57.219
terms, he is expecting her to be so committed

01:06:57.219 --> 01:07:00.420
to their marriage, to following these rules that

01:07:00.420 --> 01:07:02.440
he's set for her. To following him to Arizona,

01:07:02.739 --> 01:07:06.199
to following him to. Yeah. Yes. Yes. But he does

01:07:06.199 --> 01:07:10.119
not subscribe to the same way of thinking. Do

01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:13.489
you want to know what that stems from? His narcissism.

01:07:13.530 --> 01:07:16.889
The church. Yeah, well, yeah, the misogyny of

01:07:16.889 --> 01:07:20.130
it all, of you need me because I am your man

01:07:20.130 --> 01:07:23.989
situation. And I get it. I do. They're religious,

01:07:24.110 --> 01:07:30.969
but it's like, girl, stand up. Moving on. I also

01:07:30.969 --> 01:07:33.369
asked, who is the derpy guy at the end of this

01:07:33.369 --> 01:07:35.150
scene? Because I didn't know who the fourth husband

01:07:35.150 --> 01:07:38.710
was. Jesse's husband? We find out it's Jesse's

01:07:38.710 --> 01:07:44.099
husband. you're gonna find out this season this

01:07:44.099 --> 01:07:46.159
is not a spoiler at all you could have just looked

01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:50.139
this up but jesse and her husband are rich without

01:07:50.139 --> 01:07:54.340
influencing without hulu so this is a common

01:07:54.340 --> 01:08:00.300
thing in salt lake city like there's real money

01:08:00.300 --> 01:08:05.159
there like there's real money so They're they're

01:08:05.159 --> 01:08:07.360
very rich anyway. And I love that for them. I

01:08:07.360 --> 01:08:11.099
guess a lot of it is Jesse's hair care. It's

01:08:11.099 --> 01:08:13.860
like not just a salon. She also makes products.

01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:18.800
Do you want to know who else does that is? Angie,

01:08:18.859 --> 01:08:21.020
Angie Katzen Davis on Real Housewives of Salt

01:08:21.020 --> 01:08:25.300
Lake City, who owns, I think, two or three salons.

01:08:25.300 --> 01:08:27.680
But then they also franchise out the Paul Mitchell

01:08:27.680 --> 01:08:31.479
schools. They also have lines of salon products.

01:08:31.579 --> 01:08:35.500
They also like and they are. Wealthy. Yeah, I

01:08:35.500 --> 01:08:39.439
think you make money off of salon lines. Yes.

01:08:39.460 --> 01:08:42.899
Like shampoo, conditioner. Oh, yeah. That type

01:08:42.899 --> 01:08:47.140
of shit. Because the overhead is amazing. Yeah,

01:08:47.399 --> 01:08:47.979
it costs nothing to make. And the profit margins

01:08:47.979 --> 01:08:50.899
are perfect. It costs nothing to make and people

01:08:50.899 --> 01:08:53.569
will... pay an arm and a leg for their hair to

01:08:53.569 --> 01:08:56.090
be shiny that and then you have like built -in

01:08:56.090 --> 01:08:58.430
like loyalty where it's like oh you come to my

01:08:58.430 --> 01:09:01.029
salon like this you know you like this part of

01:09:01.029 --> 01:09:03.550
it and like yeah and it's probably good stuff

01:09:03.550 --> 01:09:05.470
like i won't take that away from them yeah every

01:09:05.470 --> 01:09:07.569
time i've ever bought product from any salon

01:09:07.569 --> 01:09:11.710
it's been amazing so there's money there yeah

01:09:11.710 --> 01:09:15.609
yeah so demi and jesse had to meet zach um they

01:09:15.609 --> 01:09:18.340
all go meet up at a coffee shop which Fun fact

01:09:18.340 --> 01:09:20.060
is, you know that coffee, drinking hot coffee

01:09:20.060 --> 01:09:21.880
is not acceptable in the Mormon religion. Right,

01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:27.939
not Mormon. But ketamine is a gray area. I always

01:09:27.939 --> 01:09:31.460
thought even like the soda versus coffee thing

01:09:31.460 --> 01:09:33.319
is so silly. It's so wild. Why are you allowed

01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:36.359
to drink soda with a higher caffeine content

01:09:36.359 --> 01:09:39.060
than coffee? But you're not a, I don't know,

01:09:39.140 --> 01:09:42.250
whatever. Joseph Smith, you're confusing. It's

01:09:42.250 --> 01:09:44.329
all confusing. But this is where we start to

01:09:44.329 --> 01:09:46.350
get holes poked in the story, because Zach brings

01:09:46.350 --> 01:09:48.369
out the thing about Jen saying that the girls

01:09:48.369 --> 01:09:51.109
weren't there for her. But it turns out the girls

01:09:51.109 --> 01:09:54.170
did nothing but reach out to her. And Jen didn't

01:09:54.170 --> 01:09:58.189
respond. Yeah. But here's what I appreciate about

01:09:58.189 --> 01:10:02.189
Zach, where he stayed on his wife's side. He

01:10:02.189 --> 01:10:06.619
stood 10 tones down for Jen in that. meeting

01:10:06.619 --> 01:10:12.420
that they had can i just say how strange it is

01:10:12.420 --> 01:10:15.439
the idea of your husband meeting with your friends

01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:19.020
to talk about you and you're not I thought that

01:10:19.020 --> 01:10:21.000
was as dumb as the day is long. I thought it

01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:24.180
was weird. I wouldn't want Kenny to meet up with

01:10:24.180 --> 01:10:26.819
my friends without me to talk about me. I think

01:10:26.819 --> 01:10:28.880
that's weird. I think she thought they weren't

01:10:28.880 --> 01:10:31.260
going to talk about her, though. I truly believe

01:10:31.260 --> 01:10:35.239
that Jen said that Zach was going to apologize

01:10:35.239 --> 01:10:38.079
for being an asshole. And that's what the conversation

01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:40.560
was going to end. That's right. That he was just

01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:43.220
because he was mean to the girls, too. Yeah,

01:10:43.220 --> 01:10:45.960
that's true. And you know what? I did like that

01:10:45.960 --> 01:10:49.039
he owned up to everything and he said he was

01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:53.399
sorry. I didn't like the way the girls acted,

01:10:53.500 --> 01:10:55.760
the way the girls were like, your wife is so

01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:58.619
fake. Your wife, your wife, your wife. What?

01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:01.420
Like, I just thought that was so strange. But

01:11:01.420 --> 01:11:03.859
when you're confronted with what you've been

01:11:03.859 --> 01:11:08.210
told and you're like. No, that's a lie. No, they

01:11:08.210 --> 01:11:10.810
definitely did have a right to be like, oh, don't

01:11:10.810 --> 01:11:12.689
say I wasn't there for her because I did try

01:11:12.689 --> 01:11:14.729
to be there for her and she didn't answer me.

01:11:14.850 --> 01:11:17.010
But when Zach found this out, he said all the

01:11:17.010 --> 01:11:19.250
right things. He said, I don't know anything

01:11:19.250 --> 01:11:21.369
about that. I'm going to be in my wife's side.

01:11:21.489 --> 01:11:24.090
That's all I needed him to say. Yeah. And I was

01:11:24.090 --> 01:11:26.810
fine with that. Yeah, I did like the way he handled

01:11:26.810 --> 01:11:29.109
that. I just thought it was a weird position

01:11:29.109 --> 01:11:33.899
to put your husband in. I feel like if... Jen

01:11:33.899 --> 01:11:36.039
were there she could have just hashed it out

01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:38.979
right there because I don't think it's I don't

01:11:38.979 --> 01:11:44.119
know if it's in this episode where Jen like meets

01:11:44.119 --> 01:11:47.140
up with Jesse and Demi and talks about it they

01:11:47.140 --> 01:11:50.520
they both got to meet with Jesse and Demi later

01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:54.399
in this episode okay yeah because I just feel

01:11:54.399 --> 01:11:56.239
like they could have done that all at once they

01:11:56.239 --> 01:11:58.859
should have Like they should have gotten a table

01:11:58.859 --> 01:12:01.979
for four. Yes. And it was weird. I didn't. I

01:12:01.979 --> 01:12:04.819
didn't like that this happened because it was

01:12:04.819 --> 01:12:08.340
pointless. Other. I think it was a plot driver

01:12:08.340 --> 01:12:12.060
to Jen's a liar. Jen's a fucking liar. Yeah.

01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:16.779
And she did lie like that. There is no beating

01:12:16.779 --> 01:12:19.140
around the bush. She did lie about the girls

01:12:19.140 --> 01:12:24.579
not being there for her. I do think maybe she

01:12:24.579 --> 01:12:29.109
wasn't. I feel like after that situation, I would

01:12:29.109 --> 01:12:32.829
have been embarrassed. I would have been embarrassed

01:12:32.829 --> 01:12:36.090
that my husband acted like that. And I wouldn't,

01:12:36.090 --> 01:12:38.470
I don't, I don't know what I would have done,

01:12:38.569 --> 01:12:41.310
but I kind of understand where she came from.

01:12:41.529 --> 01:12:47.829
But we cut to the cookout. Oh, I cannot. So like,

01:12:47.890 --> 01:12:51.109
I just have to get on my high horse here. If

01:12:51.109 --> 01:12:56.579
my family ever spoke to me the way, Taylor's

01:12:56.579 --> 01:13:01.500
mother and stepdad talk to her in front of Dakota.

01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:06.439
In front of anyone. And her sisters and the whole

01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:10.600
family. I would cut ties with them. Immediately.

01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:14.000
That is so inappropriate. So if you haven't seen

01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:17.979
it, Taylor's stepdad does not beat around the

01:13:17.979 --> 01:13:22.220
bush in saying, you're a whore for sleeping with

01:13:22.220 --> 01:13:27.619
Dakota. Basically, yeah. Yes. What the ever loving

01:13:27.619 --> 01:13:34.079
fuck? How is that appropriate or acceptable to

01:13:34.079 --> 01:13:37.880
say about your daughter? By the way, your stepdaughter.

01:13:38.539 --> 01:13:41.539
I also and I'm just going to say this and I will

01:13:41.539 --> 01:13:44.380
not be cutting this. I want an investigation

01:13:44.380 --> 01:13:47.060
into where this man was on January 6th because

01:13:47.060 --> 01:13:49.920
I have some theories about this man because he

01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:54.100
just has that look about him. I just hate him.

01:13:54.729 --> 01:13:58.369
I hated to see that. Before that happens, we

01:13:58.369 --> 01:14:01.630
find out that Taylor's mom is just a monster.

01:14:01.750 --> 01:14:05.850
Like, so you show up and we find out she has

01:14:05.850 --> 01:14:08.850
a pattern of continuing to be friends with people

01:14:08.850 --> 01:14:11.840
that have been. horrific to taylor to be their

01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:14.779
realtor to be their realtor to say well they've

01:14:14.779 --> 01:14:17.319
always been nice to me which i don't like that

01:14:17.319 --> 01:14:20.699
weird that is so weird that's like someone bullying

01:14:20.699 --> 01:14:23.060
jack at school and me still wanting to be friends

01:14:23.060 --> 01:14:27.739
with them yes that's weird that's not and She

01:14:27.739 --> 01:14:30.539
also says something to the effect of, oh, so

01:14:30.539 --> 01:14:31.920
you're going to this Halloween party that I'm

01:14:31.920 --> 01:14:33.920
not invited to. Why would you be invited to this

01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:36.060
Halloween party? She loves to stick her little

01:14:36.060 --> 01:14:37.680
head where it doesn't belong. You remember when

01:14:37.680 --> 01:14:39.539
she called Whitney for not coming to the baby

01:14:39.539 --> 01:14:42.560
shower last season? Yes. She has another episode

01:14:42.560 --> 01:14:46.060
even worse than that. God. Episode 10, last episode

01:14:46.060 --> 01:14:48.079
of this season. I can't wait for you to see it.

01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:52.199
It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And I feel

01:14:52.199 --> 01:14:54.779
for Taylor because like, how do you even reel

01:14:54.779 --> 01:14:57.100
that in? You don't because let me tell you what

01:14:57.100 --> 01:14:59.520
this is. This was the theory that I mentioned

01:14:59.520 --> 01:15:04.340
earlier. This screams, I have a complex and I've

01:15:04.340 --> 01:15:06.060
been in competition with my beautiful daughter

01:15:06.060 --> 01:15:09.659
for her entire existence. That is what this is.

01:15:09.680 --> 01:15:12.520
And that's a very common thing that I see a lot,

01:15:12.640 --> 01:15:17.039
especially in pretty girls. Their moms are so

01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:21.680
jealous of them, which is sick because why couldn't

01:15:21.680 --> 01:15:25.319
you just sit back and be like, wow. I made something

01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:28.319
so beautiful and perfect and I'm so proud of

01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:32.500
myself. And find that happiness in the fact that

01:15:32.500 --> 01:15:37.180
you created your daughter. But instead you decide

01:15:37.180 --> 01:15:40.960
to turn that on its head and be jealous and even

01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:45.300
vindictive towards your daughter is so strange.

01:15:45.739 --> 01:15:48.819
Anyway. Dakota shows up and it's as awkward as

01:15:48.819 --> 01:15:51.359
the day is long. They all sit down at the table.

01:15:52.080 --> 01:15:54.619
Taylor's brother is not unattractive until he

01:15:54.619 --> 01:15:56.319
opens his mouth. I'm just going to say that.

01:15:56.479 --> 01:15:59.720
I didn't think he was cute, but here we are.

01:16:00.180 --> 01:16:03.319
Yeah, I'm not going to yuck your yum. Appreciate

01:16:03.319 --> 01:16:06.079
it. But Taylor is just not thrilled to be there.

01:16:06.260 --> 01:16:08.960
And she's got her hood up. She's like sitting

01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:12.039
in the corner and like and then Taylor's mom

01:16:12.039 --> 01:16:15.199
goes, why are you so closed off? Shut up. Shut

01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:19.199
up. Just what do you think? You invite her ex

01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:23.359
kind of situation to your house. Yeah. That's

01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:27.180
so strange. Can you imagine if your parents hosted

01:16:27.180 --> 01:16:30.119
a cookout and invited your ex to come? Like,

01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:34.140
I don't get that. I would leave and that would

01:16:34.140 --> 01:16:36.340
be the last time I spoke to my family. I'm telling

01:16:36.340 --> 01:16:38.539
you right now. They were weird for inviting Dakota.

01:16:38.859 --> 01:16:40.680
They're weird for the way they talk to Taylor.

01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:44.319
The mom's weird for wanting to look like Taylor,

01:16:44.399 --> 01:16:46.880
and the stepdad's weird for thinking Taylor's

01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.319
a whore. Yes. They're all weird. The only one

01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:52.979
of them that I truly respect on a deep level

01:16:52.979 --> 01:16:56.100
is Taylor's sister. I agree, because she said,

01:16:56.340 --> 01:16:58.079
listen, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

01:16:58.119 --> 01:17:01.119
If it's not, it's not. She picked up the baby,

01:17:01.260 --> 01:17:03.720
so the baby didn't have to be there for the fallout.

01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:08.180
Right. I think she's the only one that is genuinely...

01:17:08.970 --> 01:17:12.310
Just team Taylor. Yes. She's not she doesn't

01:17:12.310 --> 01:17:15.130
have her own side of the story that she thinks

01:17:15.130 --> 01:17:17.850
she should sell. She doesn't like her mom does.

01:17:18.090 --> 01:17:22.090
She doesn't have she's not competing with Taylor

01:17:22.090 --> 01:17:25.529
in any sense of the word. She's just there for

01:17:25.529 --> 01:17:28.390
her. I also feel like she's not gunning to be

01:17:28.390 --> 01:17:30.930
on reality television. I think she's not fighting

01:17:30.930 --> 01:17:33.409
for that spot. Right. And I think she's secure

01:17:33.409 --> 01:17:35.210
in herself. And I think that's what we're seeing

01:17:35.210 --> 01:17:38.199
play out here is that. Right. That's why she's

01:17:38.199 --> 01:17:40.600
not an ass. Love her or hate her. She is just

01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:43.600
being there for her sister. Right. And she's

01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:47.399
OK with that being her personality on TV because

01:17:47.399 --> 01:17:50.439
she's not a member of the show. Taylor's mom

01:17:50.439 --> 01:17:54.739
does not understand that. We go to Jen's house.

01:17:55.760 --> 01:18:01.600
Jen says in her interview. That she believes

01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:03.300
that the resentment that the girls have towards

01:18:03.300 --> 01:18:05.520
her is because of Zach. And then Zach walks in

01:18:05.520 --> 01:18:09.479
and explains, no, no. The reason that the girls

01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:11.180
have resentment towards me is because of you.

01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:15.979
Right. And you can tell Jen felt uncomfortable

01:18:15.979 --> 01:18:20.300
in the fact that like Zach, she got aired out

01:18:20.300 --> 01:18:22.560
to her own husband. Like you can tell that that

01:18:22.560 --> 01:18:26.930
is like infringing on her. But it's like you're

01:18:26.930 --> 01:18:29.770
the one who set up that whole mess. Like you're

01:18:29.770 --> 01:18:32.189
the one who set up him meeting with just your

01:18:32.189 --> 01:18:35.449
friends. So like I could have seen that coming

01:18:35.449 --> 01:18:39.909
from a mile away. Then I don't know that there

01:18:39.909 --> 01:18:41.609
wasn't a lot there. They decide that they're

01:18:41.609 --> 01:18:43.869
all going to meet together again. We cut to Jesse's

01:18:43.869 --> 01:18:46.449
house where Christ almighty, they decide they're

01:18:46.449 --> 01:18:49.869
going to do the Chippendales thing again. I don't

01:18:49.869 --> 01:18:53.800
want to ruin it for you. There's tea to that

01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:56.279
that you don't know yet that when you find out,

01:18:56.300 --> 01:18:59.939
you're like, wait, what? Like. Does it come in

01:18:59.939 --> 01:19:03.359
the next episode? I hope so. Because I don't

01:19:03.359 --> 01:19:06.479
want to ruin it for you. Then Whitney and her

01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:08.680
husband are out running around buying pajamas.

01:19:08.800 --> 01:19:11.140
This was a non scene to remind us that Whitney

01:19:11.140 --> 01:19:15.439
is still on the show. I just I and I hope that

01:19:15.439 --> 01:19:17.140
I end up being wrong about Whitney because I

01:19:17.140 --> 01:19:20.630
feel like I'm being really mean to her. I'm not

01:19:20.630 --> 01:19:22.630
interested in her story. I'm not interested in

01:19:22.630 --> 01:19:25.649
her at all. I think she is so boring. And she,

01:19:25.710 --> 01:19:30.689
when she's not boring, she's giving catty. She's

01:19:30.689 --> 01:19:34.810
giving like angry almost. I don't know. I've

01:19:34.810 --> 01:19:38.949
never really. And once I hear, once you hear

01:19:38.949 --> 01:19:42.869
Michaela's stance on Whitney and her individual

01:19:42.869 --> 01:19:48.149
problem with Whitney. It made me it like validated

01:19:48.149 --> 01:19:51.149
me and not liking her. Like I'm standing behind.

01:19:52.329 --> 01:19:54.789
I'm standing behind her in that because the way

01:19:54.789 --> 01:19:57.890
she treated her was not Michaela. I mean, the

01:19:57.890 --> 01:20:01.489
way she treated Michaela was not what you would

01:20:01.489 --> 01:20:03.829
expect from a friend ever because they were like

01:20:03.829 --> 01:20:08.369
actual friends. So anyway. Anyway, we're almost

01:20:08.369 --> 01:20:10.710
at the end, friends. Yeah, we're almost there.

01:20:11.609 --> 01:20:13.569
We have another conversation with Zach and the

01:20:13.569 --> 01:20:17.789
girls and Jen is there and Jen is outed for being

01:20:17.789 --> 01:20:21.149
a rotten liar and she's upset and she's questioning

01:20:21.149 --> 01:20:25.829
the girl's allegiance. And I was just like, I

01:20:25.829 --> 01:20:27.930
saw what was happening because we've had friends

01:20:27.930 --> 01:20:29.989
do this before where like they get confronted

01:20:29.989 --> 01:20:31.750
with something and then they just start talking

01:20:31.750 --> 01:20:33.229
and talking and talking and talking and talking

01:20:33.229 --> 01:20:35.310
and talking and they won't let anyone get a word

01:20:35.310 --> 01:20:37.829
in edgewise. And this is where you're like, oh.

01:20:38.489 --> 01:20:40.630
You don't want us to talk because you don't know

01:20:40.630 --> 01:20:43.689
what you've told one person or the other or worse.

01:20:43.810 --> 01:20:45.670
You do know what you told one person or the other

01:20:45.670 --> 01:20:47.829
and you don't want it to come out. Yeah. Yes.

01:20:47.890 --> 01:20:53.210
I do feel like Jen was in a corner and like she

01:20:53.210 --> 01:20:56.130
didn't know how to get out. Yes. And so she was

01:20:56.130 --> 01:21:00.029
just trying to find a way out of that situation

01:21:00.029 --> 01:21:02.470
without looking like a horrible villain. Yes.

01:21:02.829 --> 01:21:05.819
And. I don't know that she really accomplished

01:21:05.819 --> 01:21:08.560
that. She didn't. So Jen gets called out for

01:21:08.560 --> 01:21:12.640
the you were never there for me comment. And

01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:15.600
the girls go, we have text. We can show you where

01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:18.920
we texted you. And it comes out. Well, you didn't

01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:21.899
text us back for like four or five days. If Jen

01:21:21.899 --> 01:21:24.359
would, because this is what I will buy was happening.

01:21:24.539 --> 01:21:28.300
I believe Jen was incredibly depressed. She was

01:21:28.300 --> 01:21:31.659
in a dark place. And when you get deeper into

01:21:31.659 --> 01:21:34.720
the season. You almost get confirmation of that

01:21:34.720 --> 01:21:37.039
without getting real confirmation of that. I

01:21:37.039 --> 01:21:40.399
think she was in a place we've all been in where

01:21:40.399 --> 01:21:43.520
she mentally could not handle talking about it.

01:21:43.539 --> 01:21:46.100
She couldn't even talk to the people who were

01:21:46.100 --> 01:21:50.600
involved. I think she just had to take that time.

01:21:52.260 --> 01:21:55.180
And you'll kind of see that happen. And if she

01:21:55.180 --> 01:21:58.659
would have just said that in this moment. Yeah.

01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:00.859
She would have been fine. I do think there might

01:22:00.859 --> 01:22:04.680
be some kind of stigma around mental health.

01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:10.319
In the church. Yeah. Yes. And so I think until

01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:13.119
she really has to come to terms with it, she

01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:16.720
didn't want to say that. I think she just like

01:22:16.720 --> 01:22:18.359
kind of froze in that moment and didn't know

01:22:18.359 --> 01:22:20.220
what to say. And I think we've all been there,

01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:24.430
too, where it's like. As someone with depression,

01:22:24.710 --> 01:22:27.090
like saying you were depressed doesn't feel like

01:22:27.090 --> 01:22:29.810
enough. Like you still feel like you're a bad

01:22:29.810 --> 01:22:32.750
person for not answering your friends. And so

01:22:32.750 --> 01:22:35.689
it's like I kind of understand where she's coming

01:22:35.689 --> 01:22:39.649
from. I do think she could have been a better

01:22:39.649 --> 01:22:43.869
friend to them in that time. And like at least

01:22:43.869 --> 01:22:47.090
said, I'm going through it. I'm sorry if I'm

01:22:47.090 --> 01:22:49.390
not replying type of thing. Like at least like

01:22:49.390 --> 01:22:53.039
communicate that. And then they gave her the

01:22:53.039 --> 01:22:57.880
perfect platform to just say that. And I don't

01:22:57.880 --> 01:23:03.260
know why she couldn't. Zach makes Jen be honest

01:23:03.260 --> 01:23:05.979
about the gambling away his medical school tuition.

01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:10.439
And I was like, ooh, she didn't like this. She

01:23:10.439 --> 01:23:13.840
was really petty about that. I don't know. I

01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:16.689
think she just. wanted to hurt Zach the way that

01:23:16.689 --> 01:23:19.470
Zach hurt her. She thought her marriage was over.

01:23:19.829 --> 01:23:21.670
She thought her marriage was over. Let's just

01:23:21.670 --> 01:23:23.970
be real about that. I think she just wanted to

01:23:23.970 --> 01:23:27.649
tear at him. And you know what? She got it in

01:23:27.649 --> 01:23:30.149
there, you know, and it was a lie and it came

01:23:30.149 --> 01:23:33.329
out. And I think she, at least she did own that.

01:23:33.430 --> 01:23:35.270
Didn't she? Where she was like, Oh yeah, well

01:23:35.270 --> 01:23:37.810
that wasn't true. Yeah. Cause Zach made her.

01:23:37.850 --> 01:23:41.909
Yeah. Yeah. Can you imagine sitting there with

01:23:41.909 --> 01:23:44.810
your husband and being like, And him being like,

01:23:44.869 --> 01:23:48.449
I wish you would just be honest about this because

01:23:48.449 --> 01:23:51.989
this is uncomfortable for everyone. Yeah, that's

01:23:51.989 --> 01:23:55.590
tough. Well, it's hard. Like if you're going

01:23:55.590 --> 01:23:57.890
through it with someone and you start being petty

01:23:57.890 --> 01:24:01.270
and mean to them and about them and then you

01:24:01.270 --> 01:24:03.569
have to own that. I can see that being like a

01:24:03.569 --> 01:24:06.770
hard pill to swallow to be like, yeah, I was

01:24:06.770 --> 01:24:11.069
being a bitch. Sorry. Christ. You know? Yes.

01:24:11.210 --> 01:24:15.670
I don't. Yeah. Okay. So we move on to that just

01:24:15.670 --> 01:24:18.710
for them to chip and Dale our girl. Well, so

01:24:18.710 --> 01:24:20.930
before that, Jen's getting ready for the Halloween

01:24:20.930 --> 01:24:24.170
party and she's obsessed with being related to

01:24:24.170 --> 01:24:27.489
Ben Affleck. You have to see how this plays out

01:24:27.489 --> 01:24:29.569
on the show. You have to see how it plays out

01:24:29.569 --> 01:24:31.949
on the show. Is it chaotic? It's a whole thing.

01:24:32.350 --> 01:24:36.670
The reason she's bringing it up is because Zach

01:24:36.670 --> 01:24:39.390
wants her to stop saying it. He says that in

01:24:39.390 --> 01:24:42.220
the show. He says. I didn't know if you had seen

01:24:42.220 --> 01:24:44.680
that yet. Yeah. He says, I wish she would stop

01:24:44.680 --> 01:24:46.960
saying that because I don't think it's true.

01:24:47.100 --> 01:24:50.220
He said he said it's been a joke for years in

01:24:50.220 --> 01:24:54.640
the family. So, yeah, I mean, I get it because

01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:57.779
she comes back and is like that. But but like

01:24:57.779 --> 01:25:00.920
it wasn't a joke when your family members were

01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:04.960
telling me that. Yes. And like I. I don't know

01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:08.100
if she's like I would see how she'd be obsessed

01:25:08.100 --> 01:25:10.380
with being related to Ben Affleck. But I think

01:25:10.380 --> 01:25:13.180
it also comes from a place of, again, like insecurity

01:25:13.180 --> 01:25:17.119
and embarrassment where she's like, I said this

01:25:17.119 --> 01:25:21.500
for so long and so loud. Yes. That like, please

01:25:21.500 --> 01:25:25.579
don't out me now. You know, like if you just

01:25:25.579 --> 01:25:27.840
stop saying it, it stops being right. If you

01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:30.920
just like never say Ben Affleck again, it will

01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:33.829
never come up again. But also. No one cares.

01:25:34.350 --> 01:25:38.010
No, I don't think anyone has ever cared. I just

01:25:38.010 --> 01:25:41.010
found out the other day that one of Kenny's friends

01:25:41.010 --> 01:25:45.729
is related to CeeLo Green, who I love. Right.

01:25:45.869 --> 01:25:48.909
It does not change the way I see Kenny's friend

01:25:48.909 --> 01:25:51.930
in his life. No, not at all. So they all show

01:25:51.930 --> 01:25:53.550
up to Jesse's house for the Halloween party.

01:25:54.810 --> 01:25:58.409
So Jordan's going to be Ben Affleck. Jesse looks

01:25:58.409 --> 01:26:02.360
incredible as J -Lo. Can I just say? Johnny.

01:26:02.360 --> 01:26:06.380
God damn. And they unfortunately ate Jen and

01:26:06.380 --> 01:26:09.460
Zach up. Well, I have that later in my notes

01:26:09.460 --> 01:26:12.460
that they objectively look better. Oh, yeah.

01:26:12.579 --> 01:26:15.000
Well, I think Jen tried to be this whole Jenny

01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:17.300
from the block situation. Is that what she was

01:26:17.300 --> 01:26:20.220
being? I think so. Christ. I didn't like it.

01:26:20.220 --> 01:26:23.159
It didn't play out well. Taylor shows up as Gretchen

01:26:23.159 --> 01:26:26.520
Wieners as a cat. Macy and Jacob show up as Regina

01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:32.939
and. Aaron Samuels. Michaela and Jace show up

01:26:32.939 --> 01:26:36.720
as Karen in the burn book. Demi is Fruity Pebbles

01:26:36.720 --> 01:26:40.239
and Brett is Milk. Yeah, that was a weird costume.

01:26:40.920 --> 01:26:43.460
Brett is so hot, though. Yeah, Brett is really

01:26:43.460 --> 01:26:46.159
hot. If I look like him at 47, that's all I want.

01:26:47.930 --> 01:26:50.409
Then Jen and Zach also show up as J -Lo and Ben

01:26:50.409 --> 01:26:52.710
Affleck. And that was hard. That was really,

01:26:52.729 --> 01:26:56.390
really hard. Dakota shows up as the bus that

01:26:56.390 --> 01:26:59.189
hits Regina Jordan, which I thought was actually

01:26:59.189 --> 01:27:04.890
really funny. Yeah. Then Miranda's ex -husband

01:27:04.890 --> 01:27:07.829
Chase shows up without a costume and he. He's

01:27:07.829 --> 01:27:11.930
supposed to be Justin Bieber. Did he say that?

01:27:12.069 --> 01:27:15.250
They say it like in the show at some point, but

01:27:15.250 --> 01:27:18.300
he doesn't look like Justin Bieber. Oh. I just

01:27:18.300 --> 01:27:19.979
thought he was being a douchebag and I was so

01:27:19.979 --> 01:27:24.600
into it. I was into it. Really? Oh, yeah. I think

01:27:24.600 --> 01:27:28.600
he's cute. I think he is so hot. I think he's

01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:31.600
cute. And if anything, that makes sense because

01:27:31.600 --> 01:27:35.220
Miranda is stunning. I think. I think she's so

01:27:35.220 --> 01:27:37.479
beautiful. And so Chase is kind of a match for

01:27:37.479 --> 01:27:40.220
that. I am glad that they're broken up, though.

01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:46.680
Yes. Anyway. Yeah. We get to. Chase and Dakota

01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:51.420
start there. They're talking and they're like,

01:27:51.420 --> 01:27:53.260
I don't see why we hate each other. And then

01:27:53.260 --> 01:27:58.560
Taylor confronts them. And apparently the lowest

01:27:58.560 --> 01:28:01.920
point in Chase's life was when Taylor outed everyone

01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.319
for being swingers. And I'm like, why'd you do

01:28:04.319 --> 01:28:07.020
it? Why'd you do it? Right. How is that the lowest

01:28:07.020 --> 01:28:09.699
point in your life? This kind of comes back later

01:28:09.699 --> 01:28:12.340
in the season with someone else where it's like.

01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:15.979
You've really never gone through anything before

01:28:15.979 --> 01:28:22.439
in your life ever. No. Like, what? And I do understand

01:28:22.439 --> 01:28:28.579
Taylor's problem with the whole thing. You didn't

01:28:28.579 --> 01:28:32.520
get to the second half of the episode, so I won't,

01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:36.460
like... But you saw most of the confrontation

01:28:36.460 --> 01:28:41.340
already. It does get worse. Good. Taylor has

01:28:41.340 --> 01:28:44.500
a problem with the fact that Dakota didn't stand

01:28:44.500 --> 01:28:47.539
up for her. I that started to come out at the

01:28:47.539 --> 01:28:50.840
end of this episode. And I fully agree with her.

01:28:50.939 --> 01:28:53.479
I do, too. And I totally see where she's coming

01:28:53.479 --> 01:28:57.840
from. I do see like the she could have just been

01:28:57.840 --> 01:29:01.699
chill at a Halloween party thing. But also Dakota

01:29:01.699 --> 01:29:03.760
is supposed to be trying to win her back. He's

01:29:03.760 --> 01:29:06.680
supposedly so in love with her. But the second

01:29:06.680 --> 01:29:08.939
he gets a chance to not be on her side, he's

01:29:08.939 --> 01:29:13.029
not on her side. I agree. We close out the episode

01:29:13.029 --> 01:29:15.350
with the guys upstairs practicing their Chippendale

01:29:15.350 --> 01:29:19.369
dance. We find out Jordan does not have an ounce

01:29:19.369 --> 01:29:23.029
of sex appeal. Or, like, maybe it's a confidence

01:29:23.029 --> 01:29:25.409
thing. I don't know. Or maybe he's just uncomfortable.

01:29:25.710 --> 01:29:27.510
I don't know. I don't know. But, like, he is

01:29:27.510 --> 01:29:30.050
so awkward about it. And, like, standing next

01:29:30.050 --> 01:29:35.250
to... Brett, who's, like, so in his sexual bath.

01:29:35.369 --> 01:29:38.470
Yes, and a literal Chippendale dancer. Yeah,

01:29:38.470 --> 01:29:41.949
right. Like, what is one to do with that? It

01:29:41.949 --> 01:29:46.050
was funny to watch. I kind of see, like, I think

01:29:46.050 --> 01:29:48.270
he and Jesse are actually really cute together.

01:29:48.409 --> 01:29:49.609
I think they're adorable together. I can see

01:29:49.609 --> 01:29:51.789
that, like, behind closed doors, they are, like,

01:29:51.810 --> 01:29:54.010
a perfect lovey -dovey match. You know what I

01:29:54.010 --> 01:29:55.869
mean? I think he just doesn't know what to do

01:29:55.869 --> 01:29:57.670
with that in real life, though, because the church.

01:29:57.869 --> 01:30:00.210
Right. Yeah, 100%. And he, like, doesn't know

01:30:00.210 --> 01:30:01.510
what's appropriate and what's not, especially

01:30:01.510 --> 01:30:05.760
when you're dealing with Jen. Yes. And then the

01:30:05.760 --> 01:30:08.000
cops show up and that's where we leave the episode.

01:30:08.180 --> 01:30:12.239
Yeah. So you get more tea the next episode about

01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:16.060
exactly what's happening, obviously. But I think

01:30:16.060 --> 01:30:22.560
I want you to notice Miranda and how she deals

01:30:22.560 --> 01:30:26.020
with Chase in the next episode, because that's

01:30:26.020 --> 01:30:28.420
like where I actually grew an opinion about Miranda

01:30:28.420 --> 01:30:30.960
and was like, oh, I like you. Interesting. And

01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:37.409
also Taylor. It does go off the rails, but has

01:30:37.409 --> 01:30:43.050
a point. And the cops showing up. Neither here

01:30:43.050 --> 01:30:47.770
nor there. So that brings us to the end of another

01:30:47.770 --> 01:30:49.630
episode of Bestie Approved. This was the longest

01:30:49.630 --> 01:30:54.409
one so far. This is a good episode. We had so

01:30:54.409 --> 01:30:57.109
much reality TV to catch up on. We did. And I

01:30:57.109 --> 01:31:01.250
think this is going to be. I like this. I think

01:31:01.250 --> 01:31:05.600
this is fun. Thank you for listening. We love

01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:07.560
you. Tell your messiest friend about us. But

01:31:07.560 --> 01:31:10.800
before we go, I want to give a shout out to my

01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:14.819
friend Jack, who, as you all know, is Emma's

01:31:14.819 --> 01:31:18.699
pride and joy of a son. And he sat with us for

01:31:18.699 --> 01:31:21.600
probably 75 percent of this episode. And he was

01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:23.739
so incredible and he was so supportive and he

01:31:23.739 --> 01:31:26.720
was such a good listener. And I appreciate him

01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:29.159
being here. So thank you so much. We love you,

01:31:29.180 --> 01:31:33.250
Jack. Do you have anything to say to the listeners?

01:31:33.630 --> 01:31:35.369
You want to say something on the podcast? You

01:31:35.369 --> 01:31:39.250
want to say something to the besties? Hello,

01:31:39.409 --> 01:31:45.789
bestie. It's me, Jack. That's perfect. And my

01:31:45.789 --> 01:31:49.270
mom is the best and I love her the best day.

01:31:50.649 --> 01:31:53.810
I love you so much. And I don't know a better

01:31:53.810 --> 01:31:55.630
way to close the episode. Tell your messiest

01:31:55.630 --> 01:31:59.680
friends about us. Follow us everywhere. Listen

01:31:59.680 --> 01:32:01.979
to us wherever you get podcasts. We love you.

01:32:02.239 --> 01:32:05.619
And thank you. See you next week.
