ruined engagements and the secret life of Arby's coupons

This week on Bestie Approved, Travis and Emma are feeling the love and the drama. Emma shares a pregnancy update (hello, baby avocado! 🥑), but also gets candid about body image struggles and the weird early bump zone where everyone thinks you just went to a buffet. Meanwhile, Travis has a bone to pick with tandem bikes and Valentine’s Day (spoiler: he hates both). The besties lovingly argue their way through the chaos, of course.

Then things get juicy.

A viral TikTok meltdown over an engagement ring email spirals into a deep dive on wedding culture, toxic planning, and why “my honey, my sweetheart” is a red flag.

In this week’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives recap, the Halloween party explodes, the Chippendales cause tension, and someone definitely didn’t tell the truth (Jen, we’re looking at you 👀).

Plus, we shout out our favorite sponsor-in-our-heads, Arby’s (sponsor us, please) and reminisce about vape punch cards (ew).

Whether you’re here for the mess, the friendship, or the fertility updates, we’ve got you. Now hit play and ride that tandem bike straight into the chaos.

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:17.179
Hi, I'm Travis. And I'm Emma. What's the last

00:00:17.179 --> 00:00:20.239
song you listened to? Unfortunately, the truth

00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.100
is it was Don't by Bryson Tiller. If I'm being

00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:25.559
a thousand percent honest, I don't even know

00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.500
if I remember that song. Oh, well, we can't get

00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:31.019
copyrighted if I sing it. So it's the one that

00:00:31.019 --> 00:00:33.880
like has the huge, like a super long buildup.

00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:36.780
And then he goes, don't. And then it's like,

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:43.079
don't play with it. Don't be dishonest. Yes.

00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:49.020
Yeah. Yes. I do remember this. My last song was

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:54.859
Attention by Kesha Slater and Rose Gray. So much

00:00:54.859 --> 00:00:58.600
more cunt than mine. It is. And what I have to

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.000
believe happened was Kesha went into a lab and

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.739
said, I know what the gays need this summer.

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.540
And then they just built this song in the lab.

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:12.989
The idea of Kesha and Slater knowing it. knowing

00:01:12.989 --> 00:01:16.730
each other is so incredible to me. I have a feeling

00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:19.530
they're, like, you know how you're pinned at

00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:21.849
the top of my iMessage? Yeah. I have a feeling

00:01:21.849 --> 00:01:24.090
they're pinned at the top of each other's. Like,

00:01:24.189 --> 00:01:29.069
they text daily, for sure. We have a lot this

00:01:29.069 --> 00:01:34.329
week, also. Where do you want to start? Yeah.

00:01:37.790 --> 00:01:42.390
Okay, well, let's just say... Last week we had

00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:46.849
listeners from all over the globe. We did. All

00:01:46.849 --> 00:01:50.790
over. And we've cracked 100 listeners. Finally.

00:01:50.890 --> 00:01:55.790
We've made it. So this in the grand scheme of

00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:59.430
podcasting means so little, but we cracked 100

00:01:59.430 --> 00:02:02.609
listeners. And like there's this like where I

00:02:02.609 --> 00:02:05.469
upload the podcast every week. It like gives

00:02:05.469 --> 00:02:07.870
you analytics of like where the. listens are

00:02:07.870 --> 00:02:10.750
coming from. So 90 % of our listeners are in

00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:12.930
the United States, like scattered across the

00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:17.729
country. Um, but we have listeners in the United

00:02:17.729 --> 00:02:22.370
Kingdom, Malaysia, Russia. Um, we have listeners

00:02:22.370 --> 00:02:25.569
in Ireland, Switzerland, Australia, Finland,

00:02:25.729 --> 00:02:30.090
Egypt, Germany, and the Netherlands. Like how

00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:37.419
wild is that? My Deutsch people. Yeah, it's beautiful.

00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.419
I love that. We're going on a world tour. Listen,

00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:46.819
I'm ready. Yeah, tomorrow. Starting tomorrow.

00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.060
Maybe when we get 200 listeners. My pregnancy

00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:55.280
update is also my complaint. So however you want

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.090
to do that. You tell me. Go buck wild. am now

00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:03.610
well tomorrow i'll be 16 weeks pregnant that

00:03:03.610 --> 00:03:07.210
is wild i know which makes the baby the size

00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:13.270
of an avocado and like five inches long um which

00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:16.030
is beautiful and amazing and his ears are in

00:03:16.030 --> 00:03:18.430
the right place and he has eyeballs it's it's

00:03:18.430 --> 00:03:24.250
great his bones have ossified or whatever beautiful

00:03:26.189 --> 00:03:30.509
we are not ever shitting on the miracle of pregnancy

00:03:30.509 --> 00:03:36.289
however what is getting a little old to me is

00:03:36.289 --> 00:03:40.770
like okay so like regardless of how you want

00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:43.569
to put it if you don't start your pregnancy with

00:03:43.569 --> 00:03:47.050
a flat tummy it looks like you're just getting

00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:49.729
bigger for a while before you like round out

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.759
which is beautiful and great. You need to have

00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.080
space for your baby. But like anytime I try to

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.520
complain about that, people are like, you're

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.479
pregnant. It's the miracle of childbirth. And

00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.759
I'm like, OK, I don't look pregnant, really.

00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.219
I look like I ate a large dinner and a large

00:04:10.219 --> 00:04:14.360
breakfast and a large lunch. So I don't know.

00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:17.420
That's my complaint. Because there really is

00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:19.819
no winning side. Because if someone were to call

00:04:19.819 --> 00:04:24.720
me fat, I would be like, I'm pregnant! But when

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:30.079
I complain about feeling fat, there's also, like,

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.339
nothing I can do about it. You know what I mean?

00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.079
I don't know how to explain that. I hear what

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.800
you're saying. You're in a... not in a weird

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.500
space but like I think you're in a weird head

00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:42.860
space with where your body's at and like how

00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:47.639
it's changing yeah and I I feel like body dysmorphia

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.579
is pretty common in pregnancy oh it's gotta be

00:04:50.579 --> 00:04:53.160
yeah especially for people like me like my weight

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:57.199
has fluctuated a lot in my adulthood and so it's

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.050
like Like, I don't know. It's like triggering

00:05:00.050 --> 00:05:03.470
almost to just to like get bigger because it's

00:05:03.470 --> 00:05:05.430
not just your stomach either. Like everything

00:05:05.430 --> 00:05:08.870
is bigger. Yeah. And it's beautiful and amazing.

00:05:08.970 --> 00:05:11.269
And it will result in the most beautiful baby

00:05:11.269 --> 00:05:15.829
and all of that. Yes. But in the time being,

00:05:16.009 --> 00:05:20.209
I'm like, wow. A couple of things. One, I don't

00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:24.629
think you look big like you look like a normal

00:05:24.629 --> 00:05:28.509
size for someone who is. I don't know what a

00:05:28.509 --> 00:05:31.029
normal size is for someone who's 16 weeks pregnant.

00:05:31.149 --> 00:05:33.290
But if you said to me, this is what normal size

00:05:33.290 --> 00:05:36.290
looks like for 16 weeks, I would wholeheartedly

00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:38.769
believe that. Yeah. And that's the other thing.

00:05:39.089 --> 00:05:42.730
Like, I used to be on the heavier side. And so

00:05:42.730 --> 00:05:44.949
I know it can also be triggering to hear someone

00:05:44.949 --> 00:05:51.209
my size, like pretty normal size, be like, I

00:05:51.209 --> 00:05:54.860
feel fat. Like, that's so triggering. At the

00:05:54.860 --> 00:05:57.120
same time, this is my experience. That's fair.

00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:58.779
I mean, there's nothing wrong with that being

00:05:58.779 --> 00:06:00.300
your experience. I mean, if you're being honest

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:05.540
about it. And I also think I carried Jack really

00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:08.660
low and I'm also carrying this baby really low.

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.360
And so as opposed to what? So like instead of

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.990
it, instead of my belly button. let's say like

00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:21.750
going straight out forward, it's underneath my

00:06:21.750 --> 00:06:25.310
belly button that is getting bigger, which is

00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:30.209
a very triggering area for me, like area of my

00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:32.509
body. I don't know how to explain that. So like

00:06:32.509 --> 00:06:36.490
early in pregnancy, the baby is like in your

00:06:36.490 --> 00:06:41.110
pelvis. And so it's not like the middle of your

00:06:41.110 --> 00:06:43.709
stomach is like popping out and you're a perfect,

00:06:43.730 --> 00:06:46.800
beautiful watermelon. Sure. It's. the bottom

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.800
of your stomach that kind of pops out first,

00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:52.160
especially for me. That's just how it's been.

00:06:52.259 --> 00:06:56.579
OK. And so it's like it's giving big fupa, you

00:06:56.579 --> 00:07:00.040
know? No, it's not. I promise it's not. Yeah.

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.720
You know, I'd be honest with you. Like, if you

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.199
ask me if it was, it's not. I promise. Yeah.

00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:07.439
It's like a it's like a body dysmorphia thing.

00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.389
But like even. I can't show you all, but I'm

00:07:10.389 --> 00:07:13.069
going to show Travis on my app. It kind of shows

00:07:13.069 --> 00:07:17.550
where a baby is and it like makes sense for how

00:07:17.550 --> 00:07:20.569
I'm feeling. Do you see what I mean? It's like

00:07:20.569 --> 00:07:27.689
lower than you think. Yeah, I. I guess like knowing

00:07:27.689 --> 00:07:32.610
that the baby comes out of your vagina, that

00:07:32.610 --> 00:07:34.970
makes sense that it would be there, but like.

00:07:35.729 --> 00:07:37.870
When you see a pregnant girl, you're like, oh,

00:07:37.990 --> 00:07:40.230
the baby's, like, up in the middle of her belly.

00:07:40.329 --> 00:07:42.810
Right. But that's not, like, true, especially

00:07:42.810 --> 00:07:44.810
when the baby's still small. But I also think

00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:46.990
a lot of that is, like, it pushing the rest of

00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:49.310
your body outwards. Like, because the baby, like,

00:07:49.329 --> 00:07:51.970
sits under all that, right? Yeah, your intestines,

00:07:52.069 --> 00:07:55.790
like, move around. And your liver does, I think.

00:07:56.069 --> 00:07:57.610
There are a bunch of things that, like, move

00:07:57.610 --> 00:08:00.569
around. And you're out of breath because there's

00:08:00.569 --> 00:08:02.350
more pressure on your diaphragm. On your lungs,

00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:09.620
yeah. Mm -hmm. Yeah. I don't. I just like that

00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:13.060
I'm not going to ever experience that. I know.

00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:17.600
It must be beautiful to be a male. It is. Yeah.

00:08:19.579 --> 00:08:24.540
Anyway. Anyway. So I guess I'll complain. And

00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:28.639
my complaint had to be changed this week. We're

00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:29.899
still going to talk about what I was going to

00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:33.509
complain about. I have a problem this week with

00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:37.429
people that ride tandem bikes. Who are you doing

00:08:37.429 --> 00:08:41.149
that for? Who is that for? Why? Why are we doing

00:08:41.149 --> 00:08:45.149
that? I would argue that you're putting on a

00:08:45.149 --> 00:08:47.450
show for the world that doesn't need to be seen.

00:08:48.790 --> 00:08:52.350
I hear that, I do. I feel like it's the same

00:08:52.350 --> 00:08:56.269
way I feel about Valentine's Day. Yes, exactly

00:08:56.269 --> 00:08:58.370
the same. Yeah, we disagree about Valentine's

00:08:58.370 --> 00:09:01.889
Day, too. I love Valentine's Day, and I love

00:09:01.889 --> 00:09:05.950
tandem bikes, and I love love. I love love. I

00:09:05.950 --> 00:09:10.659
love... people showing their love outwardly i

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:14.559
think it's beautiful but complain away so i was

00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.120
pulling out of my driveway this morning to come

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.879
to your house and these people were just riding

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.980
by on a tandem bike you're swerving all over

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:26.169
the road you can't be happy i don't know there

00:09:26.169 --> 00:09:29.009
was a couple in my old neighborhood growing up

00:09:29.009 --> 00:09:32.169
that always rode around on their tandem bike

00:09:32.169 --> 00:09:36.509
and they looked so in love and happy and they

00:09:36.509 --> 00:09:39.090
did not swerve all over the road so maybe it's

00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:41.350
a test of your love if you can like keep the

00:09:41.350 --> 00:09:44.490
tandem maybe okay so maybe these people weren't

00:09:44.490 --> 00:09:46.610
doing it right but i can definitively tell you

00:09:46.610 --> 00:09:49.169
unless it's with you i will never ride a tandem

00:09:49.169 --> 00:09:52.029
bike i don't want to i don't want to do that

00:09:52.029 --> 00:09:54.029
i'm not into it i hate it i hate everything about

00:09:54.029 --> 00:09:57.460
it I think it's cute. Have I ever ridden on a

00:09:57.460 --> 00:10:00.139
tandem bike? No. So I'm sure there are factors

00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:03.659
at play that I am not aware of. But for the most

00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:07.019
part, I think they're cute. OK, I won't take

00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:09.220
that away from you. It's a show of affection.

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:13.139
And dear listener, what you must know is that

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:15.419
there are not a lot of things Emma and I disagree

00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:25.210
on. Emma could turn against. Just about anything

00:10:25.210 --> 00:10:30.669
and turn with her, I will. I will. I will 100.

00:10:31.710 --> 00:10:35.009
I'm sorry, 99 .5 % of the time be on her side.

00:10:35.269 --> 00:10:37.950
This is just one of those takes where we're not

00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:40.450
on the same page. And that's okay. I think people

00:10:40.450 --> 00:10:42.990
mostly agree with you, though. I would say I'm

00:10:42.990 --> 00:10:45.549
probably the... In the minority? Yeah. Good.

00:10:45.970 --> 00:10:48.929
100%. Because I know I am about Valentine's Day.

00:10:49.070 --> 00:10:50.529
I hate... Because everywhere I've ever gone in

00:10:50.529 --> 00:10:52.450
my life, they're like, I hate Valentine's Day.

00:10:52.549 --> 00:10:56.470
Anti -Valentine's Day party. It's not even that

00:10:56.470 --> 00:10:58.389
I want to be anti -Valentine's Day. It's like...

00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:01.480
I want it to be a non thing. I get like when

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.000
you're in a relationship and it's your first

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.940
Valentine's day, I'll give you that. That's fine.

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:09.779
I've I'll stop you right there. I love Valentine's

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:12.279
day. Even when I'm single, even when I'm single,

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:16.779
even if I'm bitter about being single, I still

00:11:16.779 --> 00:11:18.519
love Valentine's day because there are still

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.620
people I love. I just celebrate my friends and

00:11:21.620 --> 00:11:24.340
my family. I love you so much. Here's some candy.

00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.120
I love it. We just did that four minutes ago

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.419
in your candy bowl. It wasn't Valentine's Day.

00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:32.559
Yeah, but they weren't heart -shaped and it wasn't

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:37.019
for Valentine's Day. Okay, and here's the thing

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:39.659
I have about the argument because I know what

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:41.960
people are thinking. The, if you love someone,

00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:44.039
you should show them you love them every single

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:46.299
day and Valentine's Day shouldn't be special.

00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:48.340
Ah, ah, ah, ah. Do you have that argument for

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:50.840
Mother's Day? If you love your mother. I certainly

00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.820
don't. You should. Well, yeah. Father's Day then.

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.759
You appreciate your father every day of the year.

00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.879
Yes. Right. But do you not tell him Happy Father's

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:04.639
Day? Okay. That's what I thought. It's the same

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.659
idea for Valentine's Day. Just because you love

00:12:07.659 --> 00:12:09.740
someone all the time doesn't mean you can't have

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:12.480
one special day where you show it a little extra.

00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.389
Okay. We'll revisit this. In February, when we

00:12:16.389 --> 00:12:19.730
do our Valentine's Day special. And you can have

00:12:19.730 --> 00:12:24.370
this all you want. I want you to live in love.

00:12:24.389 --> 00:12:29.850
Just know, I hate everything about Valentine's

00:12:29.850 --> 00:12:32.570
Day. I hate the consumerism of it. I hate the...

00:12:32.570 --> 00:12:36.309
That is true. I hate the... You have to be in

00:12:36.309 --> 00:12:38.590
a relationship for Valentine's Day. I hate the...

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:41.519
If you want to go out to dinner and you're not

00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.139
thinking to yourself, oh, God, it's going to

00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:47.019
be February 14th. You have to make reservations

00:12:47.019 --> 00:12:51.559
months in advance. I don't like the fact that

00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:55.179
it's like it was invented by Hallmark and that

00:12:55.179 --> 00:12:57.679
like people feel like they have to spend hundreds

00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:02.659
of dollars and plan for months for it. That you're

00:13:02.659 --> 00:13:04.960
kind of losing the spirit for me a little bit.

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.519
But mostly I love Valentine's Day. That, yeah.

00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:15.480
I wish people put that same level of energy into

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.059
like their anniversaries and like that's where

00:13:18.059 --> 00:13:20.679
the energy for Valentine's Day went. That's what

00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.899
I wish. Do you know what we've done? Because

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:28.080
I love Valentine's Day. My anniversary is on

00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.740
Valentine's Day. I'm going to kill myself. I

00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:33.870
love that. Valentine's Day. How did I not know

00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:36.230
that? I don't know. Because it doesn't really

00:13:36.230 --> 00:13:38.809
matter. Because my birthday is February 1st.

00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:43.909
And then Kenny's is February 11th. And then Valentine's

00:13:43.909 --> 00:13:47.389
Day is on the 14th. So we just make it one big

00:13:47.389 --> 00:13:50.169
celebration. That's like when we went to Mexico,

00:13:50.250 --> 00:13:52.269
it was for that. When we went on a cruise, it

00:13:52.269 --> 00:13:55.610
was for that. Got it. We always do at least like

00:13:55.610 --> 00:13:58.509
a fancy dinner or something. Yeah. I love that.

00:13:59.049 --> 00:14:11.000
We call it B -Day V -Day. It's very cute. I don't

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:16.720
want to go on anymore. So speaking of love, I

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.620
sent him a tech talk earlier. It's been making

00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:20.860
its way around tech talk, and I've seen a couple

00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:24.100
of reactions to it. And I'm curious how you feel

00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:25.960
about this and how listener you feel about this.

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:31.549
This girl went with her. boyfriend, fiance, whatever

00:14:31.549 --> 00:14:33.190
we're going to call him, because we're going

00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:35.570
to get into what he's called in the video that

00:14:35.570 --> 00:14:39.509
is awful. Like, I would argue that I hate it.

00:14:39.870 --> 00:14:43.149
It's an old fashioned thing. I hate it. I hate

00:14:43.149 --> 00:14:47.190
it, too. I really do. I really do. So this girl

00:14:47.190 --> 00:14:49.769
goes and she says, I went with my honey, my sweetheart

00:14:49.769 --> 00:14:56.710
to the jewelry store to pick out my wedding ring

00:14:56.710 --> 00:15:00.960
or my engagement ring. And they design it. They

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.779
do the whole song and dance. And they say to

00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:07.820
her, do you want to get the warranty on it? She

00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:09.639
says, yeah, of course we want to get the warranty

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.559
on it. No big deal. They say, OK, great. We're

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.720
going to send you emails every six months to

00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.820
remind you to clean the ring and to like come

00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:23.679
in and like get the bracket things or the prongs

00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:29.210
like serviced or whatever. She gives them her

00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:34.549
email to put on file for that. I guess as a result,

00:15:34.629 --> 00:15:38.950
she also started getting the order confirmations

00:15:38.950 --> 00:15:41.970
saying, hey, the ring has been ordered. Hey,

00:15:42.230 --> 00:15:46.009
the ring is like the final payment was made for

00:15:46.009 --> 00:15:50.210
the ring. And then in the I guess in one or both

00:15:50.210 --> 00:15:53.809
of the emails that she got, she received pictures

00:15:53.809 --> 00:15:58.419
of the final product of the ring. that she helped

00:15:58.419 --> 00:16:03.399
design right like she picked it out and she told

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.440
them what she wanted if anything she should be

00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.080
glad she got those pictures we'll get into it

00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.039
well so she's on here on tiktok saying they ruined

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.059
the surprise they took the element of surprise

00:16:15.059 --> 00:16:18.419
away from it and i'm like you you knew you were

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:21.860
getting engaged so here's how i feel about this

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:26.379
woman right number one Like you said, she knows

00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:28.759
she's getting engaged. Like she already knew

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:34.299
that. Number two, if you designed a ring yourself

00:16:34.299 --> 00:16:37.820
and you had specifications for how you wanted

00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:41.139
it to look, what shape diamond, all of that,

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.039
wouldn't you want pictures to make sure your

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.419
vision has come to life? And number three, if

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:50.559
you didn't want anything to be spoiled, if you

00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:54.549
didn't want these emails. Give them your man's

00:16:54.549 --> 00:16:58.669
email address. So that and I guess I didn't even

00:16:58.669 --> 00:17:01.509
think about like the picture piece of it. My

00:17:01.509 --> 00:17:05.670
thing is, is like. You knew you were going to

00:17:05.670 --> 00:17:09.410
the jewelry store. You knew you were planning

00:17:09.410 --> 00:17:13.769
a wedding. You knew at some point at some point

00:17:13.769 --> 00:17:19.609
between. Going to the jeweler and your wedding

00:17:19.609 --> 00:17:26.009
date, you would be proposed to. Right. So. It

00:17:26.009 --> 00:17:29.890
feels like she's looking for a reason to be mad.

00:17:30.150 --> 00:17:32.849
It's it's it feels like attention seeking behavior

00:17:32.849 --> 00:17:35.250
on the Internet to take it one step further.

00:17:36.269 --> 00:17:41.089
She goes on to say no amount of money is going

00:17:41.089 --> 00:17:43.210
to make us feel better. OK, then what what are

00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:45.210
you doing here? Tell me what you're doing right

00:17:45.210 --> 00:17:48.069
here on the Internet where you've turned off

00:17:48.069 --> 00:17:51.990
Stitch's duets and comments to your TikTok. That's

00:17:51.990 --> 00:17:53.990
because a bunch of people called her out on her

00:17:53.990 --> 00:17:57.230
own bullshit. Right. Everyone has a right to

00:17:57.230 --> 00:17:59.210
feel exactly how they want to feel about any

00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:02.450
situation. But I think about the person who's

00:18:02.450 --> 00:18:05.650
wedding you and I talk about a lot. And I know

00:18:05.650 --> 00:18:08.849
this is something that she would have done where

00:18:08.849 --> 00:18:11.849
she was an absolute demon monster the entire

00:18:11.849 --> 00:18:13.730
time we were getting ready for her wedding. And

00:18:13.730 --> 00:18:16.930
listener, one day we will open up about the Las

00:18:16.930 --> 00:18:22.059
Vegas bachelorette party and the. that led up

00:18:22.059 --> 00:18:25.539
to a wedding where that was probably one of the

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:27.940
last times I spoke to someone who I considered

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:33.039
to be one of my best friends. But it comes to

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.299
the point with this individual who posted this

00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:40.400
TikTok where I wish she just would have said,

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.279
God, I overreacted to that. At least I'm getting

00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:45.880
married. At least I have someone that loves me,

00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:47.960
my honey, my sweetheart. And let me just tell

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.490
you something else. When someone says my honey,

00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:52.069
my sweetheart, when referring to their significant

00:18:52.069 --> 00:18:55.710
other, it makes me like I have a visceral reaction

00:18:55.710 --> 00:18:58.470
to it. I hate it so much. It just kind of gives

00:18:58.470 --> 00:19:01.809
me the ick. But I also feel like a more honest

00:19:01.809 --> 00:19:06.069
version of that video is her coming to terms

00:19:06.069 --> 00:19:11.210
with the fact that she regrets being part of

00:19:11.210 --> 00:19:14.650
the planning process for her engagement. And

00:19:14.650 --> 00:19:17.190
that I completely understand because I feel like

00:19:17.190 --> 00:19:21.470
she's projecting feelings she has about not feeling

00:19:21.470 --> 00:19:24.390
surprised when she got engaged. Oh, I see what

00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:28.009
you're saying. OK. And really, it's because she

00:19:28.009 --> 00:19:31.509
planned everything and went with her honey to

00:19:31.509 --> 00:19:35.289
do everything. And she's projecting it on the

00:19:35.289 --> 00:19:39.089
jeweler like they could have done something or

00:19:39.089 --> 00:19:43.230
like they didn't warn her. But it's like. It's

00:19:43.230 --> 00:19:47.390
OK to just go on TikTok and be like, hey, ladies,

00:19:47.450 --> 00:19:50.369
don't recommend designing your own engagement

00:19:50.369 --> 00:19:53.109
ring if you're like me. Yeah, that's a whole

00:19:53.109 --> 00:19:55.529
different thing. But the other piece of it, too,

00:19:55.609 --> 00:19:59.470
is like she gets on there and she's like. We've

00:19:59.470 --> 00:20:02.470
been waiting. So the couple had been together

00:20:02.470 --> 00:20:04.289
for seven years and she's like, I've been waiting

00:20:04.289 --> 00:20:06.950
seven years for that. We've been waiting seven

00:20:06.950 --> 00:20:09.930
years for this. And I've been waiting 27 years

00:20:09.930 --> 00:20:12.349
for this. And I'm like, oh, get off the cross,

00:20:12.670 --> 00:20:15.730
Mary. Like, what are we doing? I do understand.

00:20:16.750 --> 00:20:21.069
As little girls, we are trained to look forward

00:20:21.069 --> 00:20:24.349
to our wedding. That's the long and short of

00:20:24.349 --> 00:20:27.980
it. And so it does feel like. You've been waiting

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:33.140
27 years for this. I get it. But like you gave

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:36.339
the jeweler your email address. Jewelers are

00:20:36.339 --> 00:20:41.000
not new to the engagement process. So I guarantee

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.940
she didn't get an email saying your ring has

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:46.619
been picked up. Your engagement is happening

00:20:46.619 --> 00:20:49.880
on this day. Wear white, bitch. Like that's not

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:54.849
what they did. I believe the story has been embellished.

00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:56.630
One of two things has happened. The story has

00:20:56.630 --> 00:21:02.630
been embellished a little bit to make it seem

00:21:02.630 --> 00:21:05.569
like it was more of a ruin to the surprise than

00:21:05.569 --> 00:21:10.250
anything else. Or B, she put her email in every

00:21:10.250 --> 00:21:15.730
box that could receive an email so she would

00:21:15.730 --> 00:21:17.509
have complete control over this process. And

00:21:17.509 --> 00:21:20.609
I'm willing to believe it was number two. Mm

00:21:20.609 --> 00:21:23.240
-hmm. Yeah. So that's where we're at. Because

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:28.200
logically, if Kenny takes me to design a ring,

00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:31.359
he's like, you're picky. I want you to like it.

00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.500
I really want you to design it. I am never giving

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:38.460
that jeweler my contact information. No. If you

00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:41.740
need payment, if it needs cleaned, if you want

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:45.079
a review, talk to my man. Yes. He's buying it.

00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.740
I agree. So I feel like maybe she just got. A

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:53.039
little type A over the ring situation. And now

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:55.819
she regrets it. And it would be one thing, like

00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:58.200
I said, for her to hop on Twitter and say, I

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.019
regret doing that. Yeah, but that's not what

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:03.720
she did. She said the jeweler, the jeweler. Well,

00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.099
and that's it. And she's like on there like I'm

00:22:06.099 --> 00:22:08.539
scheduling meetings with the district manager.

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:13.309
I wish the fuck I would. I wish the fuck I would.

00:22:13.509 --> 00:22:17.809
Imagine being a Karen about the people who made

00:22:17.809 --> 00:22:20.950
your wedding ring like to those people. Also,

00:22:20.990 --> 00:22:24.549
imagine going into a place of business where

00:22:24.549 --> 00:22:27.829
ostensibly they did everything that they were

00:22:27.829 --> 00:22:32.670
supposed to do. And they sent you an order confirmation

00:22:32.670 --> 00:22:36.990
to an email that you gave them and you want to

00:22:36.990 --> 00:22:40.849
speak to a district manager. No. No, no, no.

00:22:40.970 --> 00:22:45.289
I'm exhausted by that. Yeah. I'm exhausted by

00:22:45.289 --> 00:22:48.549
that. I really can't imagine behaving that way.

00:22:49.549 --> 00:22:52.150
It's this is exhausting. That's the long and

00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:54.150
short of it. This girl is exhausting. And like

00:22:54.150 --> 00:22:58.849
even watching the tick tock, we know I can think

00:22:58.849 --> 00:23:01.470
off the top of my head three girls that are exactly

00:23:01.470 --> 00:23:05.269
like this. Yeah. And I can definitively tell

00:23:05.269 --> 00:23:08.609
you I would be exhausted hearing this story with

00:23:08.609 --> 00:23:14.049
them. I have one other thing before we jump into

00:23:14.049 --> 00:23:19.430
reality roundup. Yeah, it's it's it's a push

00:23:19.430 --> 00:23:23.049
notification I got from the Arby's app. Arby's,

00:23:23.069 --> 00:23:26.710
please sponsor Bestie because you need to. Arby's,

00:23:26.710 --> 00:23:28.750
you were Bestie approved and you're about to

00:23:28.750 --> 00:23:34.839
hear why we. Emma and I have a tradition that

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.339
we have formed over the last six podcast episodes

00:23:38.339 --> 00:23:42.720
where I will drive to her house and I'll pick

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.019
up Arby's on the way there. Every time I get

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:48.900
a push notification from the Arby's app last

00:23:48.900 --> 00:23:51.619
week saying, congratulations, you spent twenty

00:23:51.619 --> 00:23:53.519
five dollars on your last order. Here's five

00:23:53.519 --> 00:24:02.880
dollars off your next three orders. I said, thanks

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.680
for repping us, fatty. Please. Oh, my God. I

00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:09.779
said, thanks, Diva. I really, really appreciate

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:15.660
that. Arby's, please sponsor us. Oh, my God.

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.779
It's like when I used to vape, they would have

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:22.440
loyalty cards. Shut the fuck up. No, they didn't.

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:27.099
Yeah. Oh, yes, they did. This feels like an addiction.

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:32.740
Oh, it. It very much was. Okay. It is. I'm not

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:35.460
vaping anymore, but I still feel like it's an

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:39.980
addiction. Anyways, yeah, every time I got to

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:42.819
the end of that card and they were like, free

00:24:42.819 --> 00:24:46.500
vape, I was like, oh, my God, I'm a crackhead.

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:53.119
Wow. Yeah, that was a dark, dark time. If anything,

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:56.599
this baby has already given me a gift. The gift.

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:59.200
For your lungs. Yeah. A gift of a clean lung.

00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:04.180
Being free of the vape. Do you remember that

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:06.519
TikTok that was like, let's talk about this here

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:11.779
epidemic that is this crack pipe? Yes. And here's

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:14.680
the thing, I agree with all the videos about

00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.140
vaping and all the videos that are like, you're

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:22.579
going to get cancer. You will get cancer. I hear

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:25.819
you. It's a disgusting, disgusting thing. But

00:25:25.819 --> 00:25:30.940
like, it is also so hard to stop. If you need

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:36.339
more information about that, go watch Tana Mongeau's

00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:40.160
most recent TikToks and podcast episodes and

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.579
everything. Oh, does she get into it? Yeah. She's

00:25:42.579 --> 00:25:45.099
like quitting the vape is harder than quitting

00:25:45.099 --> 00:25:47.900
drinking. It's harder than quitting opiates.

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:50.819
It's harder than quitting anything else that

00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:53.559
she's done. I'm sure it's just as bad as quitting

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.579
smoking. Oh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, it's the same.

00:25:57.619 --> 00:26:00.119
It's kind of the same thing. It's nicotine. So

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.359
it's like the same drug. And I would argue it's

00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.839
harder because like because it's more accessible.

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:07.559
Yeah. A cigarette's like you have to go outside

00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.140
and like it's a whole thing. A vape, you can

00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:12.920
just pick that thing up anywhere, which is half

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.000
the struggle. Yeah. Because it's like it would

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.880
be so easy for me to just pick up a vape right

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.359
now. And for me, I feel like being pregnant made

00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:24.019
it. A whole lot easier to quit because it's like

00:26:24.019 --> 00:26:28.019
not for me. It's for a baby. But oh, my God,

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:31.640
it is so hard. Are you ready for reality roundup?

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:34.539
I am. Before we jump into secret lives and Mormon

00:26:34.539 --> 00:26:38.559
wives, I want to talk about one Miss Larsa Pippen.

00:26:40.730 --> 00:26:44.250
I'm so over Larissa Pippen. I've been over her

00:26:44.250 --> 00:26:49.369
since 2012 when she was originally on Real Housewives

00:26:49.369 --> 00:26:52.009
of Miami. I just saw a tweet the other day before

00:26:52.009 --> 00:26:56.369
we get to your thing that was like, the trend

00:26:56.369 --> 00:26:58.509
now is not to look like a Kardashian. It's not

00:26:58.509 --> 00:27:01.509
to have an artificial hourglass figure and fillers

00:27:01.509 --> 00:27:04.710
until you pop. And the tweet I saw was a quote

00:27:04.710 --> 00:27:07.369
tweet of that saying, someone tell Larissa Pippen.

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.160
But actually, please don't tell Larson Pippen

00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:16.400
that because she is unrecognizable from who she

00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.740
was. And you will never find someone that is

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:21.180
more supportive of elective surgeries than I

00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:26.660
am. You have you have seen me go to Dr. Turkle's

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:29.660
office in Carmel just to have consultations just

00:27:29.660 --> 00:27:34.680
for funsies. Oh, yeah. I'm super pro doing whatever

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:38.019
you want to do to your body. Yes. To a point.

00:27:38.730 --> 00:27:40.970
OK, because there's also someone else I want

00:27:40.970 --> 00:27:43.029
to bring up on this point, and then we'll get

00:27:43.029 --> 00:27:47.329
back to Larsa Pippen. We just started Casa Amor

00:27:47.329 --> 00:27:52.390
in Love Island. Exactly. This woman is 21 years

00:27:52.390 --> 00:27:59.200
old and she looks. 35 easily because she is just

00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.160
filled to the brim with filler. She has a body

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.420
you would not believe. I am sure she's in the

00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:07.160
gym every single day. She's never had a carb

00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:09.940
in her life. But then she goes and fills her

00:28:09.940 --> 00:28:12.799
whole entire face with filler. And it's like

00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.160
no one's even looking at your body. No one is

00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.359
like it is hard to tell what you look like. I

00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.180
have a hard time with the filler because if you

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:28.019
if you look at. The drag queens from RuPaul's

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:30.660
Drag Race who it's it's always the all stars

00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:33.839
makeover that they do. So they have their original

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.079
seasons of Drag Race and then they get a Groupon

00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:43.900
to to a two for one filler special. And it is

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:48.630
Juvederm and. It's it's a lot. There's a lot

00:28:48.630 --> 00:28:51.170
happening there. And I think the main problem

00:28:51.170 --> 00:28:54.329
is people doing it too early in life. But sure.

00:28:54.569 --> 00:28:57.369
But that's the thing is like you were overloaded.

00:28:57.369 --> 00:29:00.450
You were filled to the brim. And like it's it's

00:29:00.450 --> 00:29:04.210
the lips. It's the cheeks. It's the who. And

00:29:04.210 --> 00:29:07.009
that's fine. Like get get the filler. But like

00:29:07.009 --> 00:29:09.190
you were unrecognizable from who you were. Bringing

00:29:09.190 --> 00:29:11.750
me back to Larsa Pippen. If you look at side

00:29:11.750 --> 00:29:15.259
by sides of seasons. One and two of The Real

00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:18.779
Housewives of Miami and current seasons of The

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:20.079
Real Housewives of Miami from where it's come

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.059
back. She is you. You couldn't tell me that's

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:26.240
the same person. Right. I know you want to know

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.240
who else is kind of going outside. Have you seen

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.640
Adriana Lima? Yeah, that's hard. Why did you

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.799
do that? Why did you do that? Yeah, it's so hard

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.720
to watch because it's like. We've lost the idea

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.599
of aging gracefully and we're trying to just

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:48.440
not age at all. And that's not, that's not okay.

00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:53.160
That's not. But Bravo Insider today sent out,

00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.039
or I'm sorry, yesterday sent out a text to the

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.579
Bravo Insider community saying, from public breakups

00:29:59.579 --> 00:30:01.940
to friendship feuds, Larsa Pippen's been through

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:04.500
it all during her time on Real Houses of Miami.

00:30:05.529 --> 00:30:07.970
Now she's serving up advice exclusively for Bravo

00:30:07.970 --> 00:30:10.589
Insiders, and she's ready to answer your questions.

00:30:10.690 --> 00:30:14.109
Hit the link to send yours in. Do you want to

00:30:14.109 --> 00:30:17.710
know who I'd rather take advice from? RFK Jr.

00:30:17.970 --> 00:30:21.289
about my health. I would rather take advice from

00:30:21.289 --> 00:30:23.470
that snake in the Garden of Eden in the Bible.

00:30:23.769 --> 00:30:27.910
I would rather take advice from Dakota about

00:30:27.910 --> 00:30:32.140
how to. Manage a healthy relationship. Oh, yeah.

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:34.980
I would rather take advice from Jack about how

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:38.640
to remain quiet during a podcast sometimes. Right.

00:30:38.940 --> 00:30:41.900
Tet Hanks about how to keep your public image

00:30:41.900 --> 00:30:46.299
up. Yes. Yeah. Oh, my God. I'd rather. Who is

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:49.019
looking for her advice? I'd rather take advice

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:53.420
from Z -Way about how to. Have a take that people

00:30:53.420 --> 00:30:56.720
don't find funny. Yeah. About how to not be charming

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:59.500
and wonderful. I've lost the plot a little bit

00:30:59.500 --> 00:31:02.000
here, but like you see what I'm saying? I just.

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:06.039
And what it feels like Bravo is trying to do,

00:31:06.099 --> 00:31:07.880
and they've done this with a couple of other

00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.440
housewives. Ramona is one that I'm thinking of

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.460
where they they push her just a little too hard.

00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:18.519
They push her to like. Because they've doubled

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:20.000
down on her for the next season. And they're

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.440
like, we're stuck with her. We got to do something

00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:26.259
with her. So I do not like Larsa Pippen. When

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:28.319
we start recapping The Real Housewives of Miami,

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:31.819
you will see how viscerally I react to her. I

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:34.200
cannot stand Larsa Pippen. You know who I would

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.470
text for advice? Giselle. 100 % I would take

00:31:38.470 --> 00:31:40.609
advice from Giselle. I would love advice from

00:31:40.609 --> 00:31:41.690
Giselle. I've talked about her on the podcast

00:31:41.690 --> 00:31:45.630
already. I love her so much. If they sent me

00:31:45.630 --> 00:31:47.690
a text and they were like, do you have a question

00:31:47.690 --> 00:31:50.410
for Giselle Bryant? I would immediately text

00:31:50.410 --> 00:31:55.190
them back. One last one. I would rather take

00:31:55.190 --> 00:31:57.670
advice from Juan Dixon about how to be faithful

00:31:57.670 --> 00:32:04.279
to a beautiful woman. Poor Robin. Poor Robin.

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.940
I love her. And he's so hot. Like, I get it.

00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:13.339
But, girl. So let's jump in. Yeah. Secret Lives

00:32:13.339 --> 00:32:16.500
of Mormon Wives. We're recapping episodes three

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:22.079
and four today. Episode three. The Book of Retribution.

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.200
We open up at the Halloween party where we left

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:27.299
off. Where Taylor is screaming at Chase for being

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:30.559
a liar. Which he deserves. While the guys are

00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:32.779
upstairs getting ready for their Chippendales

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:37.400
dance. Chase deserves to get yelled at. Chase

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.960
deserves everything that comes to him. He can't

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:46.880
own shit. And I thought it was so funny, actually,

00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.380
the like difference in vibes when they would

00:32:49.380 --> 00:32:51.500
like cut to upstairs when they were like practicing

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:54.200
with their Chippendales guy versus Taylor being

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:58.890
like, you disgusting. You trash. You're stupid.

00:32:59.069 --> 00:33:03.240
You're trash. I loved it. I loved it. That's

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.119
excellent television. Miranda runs over to comfort

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.440
Chase's new girlfriend, which I honestly, I think

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:11.539
it's impressive. And I think I like her because

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:14.779
that has to take some level of security and confidence

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:17.700
in yourself to be like, oh, I'm going to go comfort

00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:21.319
this girl. That girl needs help. And I felt so

00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:25.359
bad for his girlfriend because that's such an

00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:27.279
awkward position to be in where like everyone

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:30.099
is yelling at your man. You've stepped out publicly

00:33:30.099 --> 00:33:34.710
now like you're on. on tv with him and now you

00:33:34.710 --> 00:33:36.829
just you're talking about his affairs and his

00:33:36.829 --> 00:33:39.309
swinging and also his ex -wife is there and like

00:33:39.309 --> 00:33:42.970
it's just oh i can't imagine being in her position

00:33:42.970 --> 00:33:47.910
like that is so i feel bad for her and i feel

00:33:47.910 --> 00:33:49.890
like this girl is probably a really sweet girl

00:33:49.890 --> 00:33:53.609
this is i feel like this is chase's mo is he

00:33:53.609 --> 00:33:58.700
finds a very pretty girl probably fresh out of

00:33:58.700 --> 00:34:02.240
the church and says, I'm going to get her. I

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:04.819
have a feeling he's finding his women at church.

00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.639
Oh, probably. So Layla, who dated Chase for like

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:12.400
a month, goes, goes to him and like says, no

00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:14.179
one wants to hear. Fuck you. This is not what

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:16.960
we're. This is your trash, basically. And then

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.179
he's like, don't don't tell me what to do. And

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:20.760
then she goes, go talk shit about this on your

00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.679
podcast. And he goes, don't make fun of my podcast.

00:34:25.230 --> 00:34:28.389
I loved that part. I thought that was so funny.

00:34:28.590 --> 00:34:32.610
That was so funny. I didn't know he had a podcast,

00:34:32.670 --> 00:34:37.110
but I love that for him. I mean, he doesn't deserve

00:34:37.110 --> 00:34:39.929
one, but here we are. Here we are on a podcast.

00:34:40.309 --> 00:34:44.610
Yeah. I feel like Taylor doesn't have to get

00:34:44.610 --> 00:34:48.690
ready because she stays ready to fight. I wouldn't

00:34:48.690 --> 00:34:52.210
call Taylor a hothead because I really do feel

00:34:52.210 --> 00:34:56.320
like. she just gets really worked up. Like I

00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:58.500
can almost commiserate with her where it's like

00:34:58.500 --> 00:35:02.000
someone says something and then you just can't

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.059
let it go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. And you

00:35:05.059 --> 00:35:08.760
and I are both that way though. Yeah. Well, and,

00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:11.239
and I get where she's coming from because she

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:14.599
goes on to say that she just wanted Dakota to

00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:18.590
be on her side. I. Could not be more on her side

00:35:18.590 --> 00:35:21.389
about that. I feel the same way. Yes. However

00:35:21.389 --> 00:35:24.909
you feel about the Taylor and Chase thing, Dakota

00:35:24.909 --> 00:35:27.869
has been allegedly trying to win her over this

00:35:27.869 --> 00:35:31.809
whole time and is talking to Chase and immediately

00:35:31.809 --> 00:35:34.250
takes Chase's side. Yes. Over Taylor. I agree.

00:35:34.789 --> 00:35:39.369
Come on. I just don't get it. I don't get it.

00:35:41.050 --> 00:35:43.630
Miranda goes up to Chase and this is where I

00:35:43.630 --> 00:35:45.610
really, really started to appreciate Miranda

00:35:45.610 --> 00:35:47.690
because she goes up and she goes, we're not doing

00:35:47.690 --> 00:35:51.670
this. Get out. Get out. And I was like, oh, I

00:35:51.670 --> 00:35:55.150
like her. OK. And then if you look at Chase's

00:35:55.150 --> 00:35:58.210
new girlfriend, she's she either just looks cold

00:35:58.210 --> 00:36:00.889
or uncomfortable. Like she's like doubled over

00:36:00.889 --> 00:36:04.510
in that little dress and she's just like cold.

00:36:05.419 --> 00:36:09.340
I felt bad for her again. I did. Cause it's like,

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:11.800
what do you do? You're on TV. You don't even

00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:15.380
really like, this is your boyfriend, but like,

00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:21.099
it's hard, but she immediately storms out and

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:22.679
she goes, I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:26.599
And I was like, I get it. Yeah. And I feel like

00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:29.000
Miranda knows his antics. And so she was like,

00:36:29.059 --> 00:36:31.260
no, you're not going to do this here. No. Yeah.

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:34.539
But I, I bet she's been through it. A million

00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:38.119
times. Every single day, probably. And I'm so

00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:41.000
glad they got a divorce. She deserves so much

00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:44.320
better than that trash man. I agree. So then

00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:50.579
Chase goes after, what's her name? Kate. Yeah.

00:36:50.659 --> 00:36:52.579
The new girlfriend's Kate. Chase goes after Kate

00:36:52.579 --> 00:36:58.780
and Demi's poking the bear a little bit and Chase

00:36:58.780 --> 00:37:02.800
walks by Demi and I guess pokes her. I don't,

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:06.050
I don't. Here's what happened. I remember it

00:37:06.050 --> 00:37:10.329
clear as day. Demi goes, where's your girlfriend,

00:37:10.469 --> 00:37:12.429
Chase? You need to go after your girlfriend.

00:37:12.690 --> 00:37:16.150
Yes. He comes up, kind of touches her waist and

00:37:16.150 --> 00:37:20.329
goes, oh, well, where's your husband? Type of

00:37:20.329 --> 00:37:25.119
thing. Okay. I don't... Okay. The way she blew

00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:28.920
it out of proportion was crazy. Well... Because

00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.019
she goes upstairs, right? Yeah. And she goes,

00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:35.059
Brett, Chase touched me. No, that's not what

00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:38.559
Demi said. Demi runs upstairs and goes, Chase

00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:42.260
put his hands on me. Oh. She knew what she was

00:37:42.260 --> 00:37:45.980
doing. She knew exactly... However, yeah, I think

00:37:45.980 --> 00:37:48.579
it was... Yeah, you're right. Put his hands on

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:54.469
me. She... Blew that so far out of proportion.

00:37:55.489 --> 00:38:01.349
It's on video. He didn't grab her ass. He didn't

00:38:01.349 --> 00:38:06.710
pull her hair. He simply touched her as he passed

00:38:06.710 --> 00:38:12.050
through a tight space. What? OK, I I think there's

00:38:12.050 --> 00:38:14.230
a place to be met in the middle here where I

00:38:14.230 --> 00:38:17.150
think he was doing it in an incredibly condescending

00:38:17.150 --> 00:38:22.099
way. I think he was like, where's your man? 100%.

00:38:22.099 --> 00:38:25.280
But I think him saying, where's your man and

00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:28.440
touching her to get by were two separate things.

00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.579
I agree. I don't think he like grabbed her and

00:38:32.579 --> 00:38:35.000
caressed her and then said, where's your man?

00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:39.699
I think he was getting past and then responded

00:38:39.699 --> 00:38:43.039
to her snarky thing by saying his snarky thing.

00:38:43.139 --> 00:38:47.619
Yes. And I hate Chase, so I hate that it sounds

00:38:47.619 --> 00:38:50.460
like I'm defending him, but God damn, Demi. I

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:53.960
agree. So Demi runs upstairs. Chase put his hands

00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.079
on me. Chase put his hands on me. Brett does

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:59.960
what Brett is supposed to do. Yeah, Brett's not

00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:01.980
in the wrong for that at all, to be so clear.

00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:04.760
Brett moves into action and says, I'm going to

00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:09.119
kill someone. I love a man who's a man. I do

00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:13.539
too, actually. And he runs outside in his little

00:39:13.539 --> 00:39:17.619
Chippendales outfit. And he's screaming at Chase.

00:39:18.099 --> 00:39:20.820
Chase didn't know what he was getting into. And

00:39:20.820 --> 00:39:24.019
he is scared for his life in this moment. You

00:39:24.019 --> 00:39:27.360
can see it happening. Yeah. I feel like he genuinely

00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.300
didn't know what the fuck Brett was on about,

00:39:30.420 --> 00:39:32.920
like for the first four or five seconds. And

00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.199
then he put it together and was like, oh, what

00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:38.739
the fuck? Yeah. You know, and I would be scared

00:39:38.739 --> 00:39:41.800
of Brett, too. Oh, 100%. Can we talk about how

00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:44.599
hot it is that he's out there in a little Speedo

00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:48.000
about to kill a man? They were in Speedos. They

00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.820
were in little pants. Oh. I thought they were

00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:54.579
in, like, little tiny... No. Oh. No. They were

00:39:54.579 --> 00:39:56.320
in pants. I thought it was hot that he was in

00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:59.659
his little Chippendales suit about to kill somebody.

00:39:59.900 --> 00:40:03.320
I thought that was so hot. Oh, 100%. But, like,

00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:06.940
also... That level of rage, I wasn't expecting.

00:40:07.059 --> 00:40:12.099
But what I also didn't expect was Jordan. When

00:40:12.099 --> 00:40:16.059
Chase goes up to start apologizing to Demi, Jordan

00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:19.179
comes up and goes, take ownership, take owner,

00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:21.360
like just screaming. And I was like, what are

00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.360
you doing? Who are you being right now? And I

00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.539
have a feeling this is the reason the cops get

00:40:26.539 --> 00:40:31.190
called. It's all the screaming. I'm sure they're

00:40:31.190 --> 00:40:33.489
in one of those richy, rich, rich neighborhoods.

00:40:33.730 --> 00:40:35.829
And someone was in their house and they were

00:40:35.829 --> 00:40:38.409
like, my property taxes are too high for this.

00:40:38.550 --> 00:40:45.670
And they called the police. Yes. So the cops

00:40:45.670 --> 00:40:48.849
show up. Jesse goes outside and literally says

00:40:48.849 --> 00:40:51.739
to the cop. Have you ever seen Secret Life? That

00:40:51.739 --> 00:40:56.780
is the moment I was dying for you to see. That's

00:40:56.780 --> 00:40:59.980
the funniest shit I've ever seen. Because she

00:40:59.980 --> 00:41:02.739
says that would have been the easiest way to

00:41:02.739 --> 00:41:05.019
explain it to you. No, but like that's the thing

00:41:05.019 --> 00:41:07.280
is like if the cop would have been like, oh,

00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:10.079
got it. Yeah, it would have cleared everything

00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:12.960
up immediately. But the way she said it, like,

00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:15.760
have you ever seen it? Like, obviously, that's

00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.650
what's happening. Like, Jesus Christ. That was

00:41:20.650 --> 00:41:23.349
the funniest thing she could have said. The funniest

00:41:23.349 --> 00:41:27.989
thing. And also, like, not to dick ride her,

00:41:28.230 --> 00:41:33.230
but I feel like it's a fair question because

00:41:33.230 --> 00:41:35.349
then you, because you also have to explain why

00:41:35.349 --> 00:41:38.090
there are so many cameras there and vans and.

00:41:38.170 --> 00:41:40.909
Oh, sure. You know, like, that's not a typical

00:41:40.909 --> 00:41:43.590
thing either. Like, you don't want them to think

00:41:43.590 --> 00:41:46.670
you're filming an orgy. You know what I mean?

00:41:46.730 --> 00:41:50.489
Well, that, but like, also. Behind the scenes

00:41:50.489 --> 00:41:54.389
of it, the cops show up. The Secret Lives of

00:41:54.389 --> 00:41:56.050
Mormon Lives and Real Housewives of Salt Lake

00:41:56.050 --> 00:41:58.829
City are the two shows that are, like, being

00:41:58.829 --> 00:42:03.730
filmed in Salt Lake City right now. And the cops

00:42:03.730 --> 00:42:07.789
have to know, like, some of this stuff is going

00:42:07.789 --> 00:42:11.369
to get played up. They also signed releases to

00:42:11.369 --> 00:42:14.929
be on the TV. Oh, yeah, because their faces weren't

00:42:14.929 --> 00:42:19.809
blurred. Yeah. So, like, let's. They knew before

00:42:19.809 --> 00:42:22.730
they got to her front door that this was for

00:42:22.730 --> 00:42:28.110
TV. I just think because they it's two men fighting

00:42:28.110 --> 00:42:30.929
each other. They have to be like, oh, sure. Please,

00:42:30.929 --> 00:42:35.210
nobody get injured. Please, nobody die. Please.

00:42:36.619 --> 00:42:40.420
Like, I get it. Yeah, I do, to some extent. And

00:42:40.420 --> 00:42:42.320
it's not like they came inside the house and

00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:46.500
were like, they left. So the cops leave. Chippendales

00:42:46.500 --> 00:42:49.219
part two happens and it's the most uncomfortable

00:42:49.219 --> 00:42:52.800
thing anyone has ever had to sit through. So

00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:56.300
awkward. Just Zach with full on venom in his

00:42:56.300 --> 00:42:59.960
eyes the whole time. And he was sad. Yeah, like

00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:02.619
you could. He was sad and he was mad. Like there

00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:04.579
were two emotions happening there. And that was

00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:08.159
very clear. I had a problem. I had a very serious

00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:10.300
problem with Demi saying this is a chance for

00:43:10.300 --> 00:43:13.760
Zach to redeem himself. I know. I didn't like

00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:17.099
that at all. I know. And this is where I turn

00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:22.460
on Demi. Oh, I already told you she's the villain.

00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:25.260
Yeah. She's the villain this season for absolute

00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:30.110
sure. And it. Only gets worse. I would also like

00:43:30.110 --> 00:43:32.130
to talk about Demi and Brett's relationship at

00:43:32.130 --> 00:43:34.989
some point. I don't know if now's the time. OK.

00:43:37.090 --> 00:43:40.289
I haven't seen anything yet that would tell me

00:43:40.289 --> 00:43:43.010
something's wrong, but I have a feeling it's

00:43:43.010 --> 00:43:47.110
coming fast and quick. He knew her when she was

00:43:47.110 --> 00:43:51.989
10 years old and he was in his late 20s. Oh,

00:43:51.989 --> 00:43:59.739
so. Yeah. I don't know where to put that. Yeah.

00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:04.960
Makes me think that he's less hot. He's physically

00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:08.039
so hot. Would I ever want to get to know him?

00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:11.320
No. Was he involved with the church? Probably.

00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:16.679
I know he's a Mormon. Okay. So I'm going to tell

00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:18.079
you right now, you'd be shocked at how often

00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.420
that happens in the church. Oh, I. I've had my

00:44:21.420 --> 00:44:24.019
fair share of youth pastors flirt with me in

00:44:24.019 --> 00:44:26.659
my teenagerdom. No, but I'm saying, like, people

00:44:26.659 --> 00:44:30.059
that know children from a very, very, very young

00:44:30.059 --> 00:44:32.019
age and then they end up together, like, and

00:44:32.019 --> 00:44:35.440
the man's much older. Like, it's fairly common

00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:38.039
in the Nazarene church, too. It's so gross. It's

00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:41.119
gross. So the Chippendales dance is happening.

00:44:42.449 --> 00:44:45.110
Jordan, bless his perfect little heart, seemed

00:44:45.110 --> 00:44:48.030
like he was actually like earnestly trying. Yeah,

00:44:48.090 --> 00:44:51.090
I thought he was so cute. Like his whole thing

00:44:51.090 --> 00:44:53.409
was so cute. And I and I think they all were

00:44:53.409 --> 00:44:59.650
very like still respectful. You know, like they

00:44:59.650 --> 00:45:02.090
weren't like real Chippendales where they were

00:45:02.090 --> 00:45:05.670
like grinding up on her and like making out with

00:45:05.670 --> 00:45:07.710
her like they didn't do that. The problem that

00:45:07.710 --> 00:45:11.570
I have. And this is how it should have been handled.

00:45:12.610 --> 00:45:21.730
Brett should have brought Demi up. The real Chippendales

00:45:21.730 --> 00:45:25.690
dancer should have brought Taylor up. Well, no,

00:45:25.769 --> 00:45:27.829
Layla's not. Taylor's the only single one. Taylor

00:45:27.829 --> 00:45:31.010
and Miranda. He brought one of them up. And then

00:45:31.010 --> 00:45:36.050
Jordan should have brought Jessie up. Dance with

00:45:36.050 --> 00:45:39.219
them. Why doesn't... I wish they would have asked

00:45:39.219 --> 00:45:41.739
Zach to be a part of it. I feel like that would

00:45:41.739 --> 00:45:45.679
have fixed the whole problem. If they would have

00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:50.139
said, let's exposure therapy Zach by putting

00:45:50.139 --> 00:45:53.980
him in it quite literally. Yes. Instead of let's

00:45:53.980 --> 00:45:56.980
do exposure therapy by making him watch. Like

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:58.300
that's so much worse. I thought that was gross.

00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.820
I thought that was so gross. Yeah. Like put on

00:46:00.820 --> 00:46:04.550
a show for your wives. That's fine. I was on

00:46:04.550 --> 00:46:07.050
Zach's side about like about being upset about

00:46:07.050 --> 00:46:10.170
it. I like not about where it ends up, but I

00:46:10.170 --> 00:46:16.190
agree that this was mean. Yeah. And the part

00:46:16.190 --> 00:46:18.750
that really you're not there yet. I won't ruin

00:46:18.750 --> 00:46:23.889
it for you. But yeah, I don't know. Obviously,

00:46:23.889 --> 00:46:28.389
he overreacts and we'll get into that. But it

00:46:28.389 --> 00:46:31.960
was a weird thing for them to do. It was the

00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:36.940
whole thing was very weird. And I have I have

00:46:36.940 --> 00:46:40.000
a lot of thoughts because we get to how much

00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.840
did. Yeah, we get to that. We get to how much

00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:44.280
did Jen know? I'm going to have a lot of feelings

00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:51.849
about that. I know. Yeah. So. It's so tough,

00:46:51.869 --> 00:46:53.650
too, because it's like I feel like they were

00:46:53.650 --> 00:46:55.949
just trying to have fun and they flew in a Chippendales

00:46:55.949 --> 00:46:59.409
gun, whatever. It's like, why did you spend some

00:46:59.409 --> 00:47:01.769
real money here? Like, yeah. Do you think it

00:47:01.769 --> 00:47:06.150
was production's idea or theirs? I have a feeling.

00:47:06.650 --> 00:47:09.730
So what I know about Real Housewives and I keep

00:47:09.730 --> 00:47:11.050
going back to Real Housewives because that's

00:47:11.050 --> 00:47:12.550
my frame of reference. But what I know about

00:47:12.550 --> 00:47:15.289
Real Housewives is like they the Housewives all

00:47:15.289 --> 00:47:18.469
present ideas and production will let ideas through.

00:47:20.179 --> 00:47:22.500
Production, from what I understand, does not

00:47:22.500 --> 00:47:26.440
say do this so we can get this reaction. It's

00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:29.539
all it's all supposed to be natural. I'll bet

00:47:29.539 --> 00:47:34.039
you actual money that Jesse and Demi said, do

00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:36.340
you know what would be so funny? And the production

00:47:36.340 --> 00:47:39.280
was like, well, we'll pay to fly in a Chippendales

00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:42.320
answer. Let's do it. A hundred percent. A hundred

00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:48.929
percent. OK. Yeah. So we get to. We were done

00:47:48.929 --> 00:47:51.250
with that scene. Zach's furious. That's that's

00:47:51.250 --> 00:47:53.429
the long and short of it. We go to Halloween

00:47:53.429 --> 00:47:55.789
with Michaela. I don't know if I fuck with Michaela.

00:47:56.250 --> 00:47:59.929
I like her, but I don't know that I did at this

00:47:59.929 --> 00:48:02.570
point in the season. Does she does she start

00:48:02.570 --> 00:48:05.969
to grow on? Yeah, I think so. She's kind of like

00:48:05.969 --> 00:48:13.090
awkward. I agree. Yeah. Like she's not. I don't

00:48:13.090 --> 00:48:14.969
I don't want to sound mean. I don't want to sound

00:48:14.969 --> 00:48:17.489
mean. I was about to say she's not like built

00:48:17.489 --> 00:48:20.630
for reality TV. No. Because I feel like the type

00:48:20.630 --> 00:48:23.170
of person, I'm not either. The type of person

00:48:23.170 --> 00:48:27.210
who's built for reality TV is like instantly

00:48:27.210 --> 00:48:30.650
likable. You instantly connect with them and

00:48:30.650 --> 00:48:33.710
you get them. And that's just not really her.

00:48:33.849 --> 00:48:38.489
Like it takes some growing. Yes. So like, anyway.

00:48:39.010 --> 00:48:42.289
Her sisters show up at her house dressed as.

00:48:42.940 --> 00:48:47.300
Her and Whitney. So confusing. I thought that

00:48:47.300 --> 00:48:51.400
was so weird. That was. What I feel like is happening

00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.500
here is I think the sisters are trying to get

00:48:53.500 --> 00:48:55.800
on the show. Yeah, I think it was. They thought

00:48:55.800 --> 00:48:57.599
it would be funny on the show, but it just came

00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:59.940
off as like bizarre. Yeah, the whole thing was

00:48:59.940 --> 00:49:02.780
weird to me. Michaela opens up about her chronic

00:49:02.780 --> 00:49:10.059
health issue, i .e. eczema. Yeah. OK. And like

00:49:10.059 --> 00:49:13.659
to her defense, she like. Was in the hospital

00:49:13.659 --> 00:49:16.760
for a while because it got, like, so bad. And

00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:19.659
it was all over her body. And she really had

00:49:19.659 --> 00:49:22.320
trouble handling it. And I can't imagine being

00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.440
an influencer, like, needing to post all the

00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:31.019
time and being covered in red spots. That's fair.

00:49:31.300 --> 00:49:34.519
However. However. Yeah. The way she presented

00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:36.760
it. You're sitting across from someone that lives

00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:40.340
with psoriasis. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I know.

00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:48.530
Which is. almost bar for bar, exactly like eczema.

00:49:48.869 --> 00:49:57.630
Yeah. I will say, because all I can picture in

00:49:57.630 --> 00:50:00.329
my head right now are the videos of it literally

00:50:00.329 --> 00:50:03.829
all over her body. Yes. On her stomach, her face,

00:50:03.849 --> 00:50:06.289
her arms, her legs, everywhere. I've lived it.

00:50:06.309 --> 00:50:09.650
I get it. It's hard. I 100 % get it. And so...

00:50:11.559 --> 00:50:15.500
But the way she presented it in season one, I

00:50:15.500 --> 00:50:21.000
think is why I have a problem because it's so

00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:27.139
dramatic. Yes. You're not like stuck in a bed.

00:50:27.219 --> 00:50:30.219
You don't have Crohn's disease. Right. Get off

00:50:30.219 --> 00:50:32.800
the cross. You can eat, you can drink, you can

00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:36.659
take care of your children, even when it's uncomfortable.

00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:40.639
Right. It's also... I get that you're itchy,

00:50:40.780 --> 00:50:45.739
girl, but, like, ugh. I don't know. Yeah, like,

00:50:45.780 --> 00:50:48.159
I do think she should have had some kind of,

00:50:48.179 --> 00:50:52.840
like, compassion for people with chronic illnesses

00:50:52.840 --> 00:51:00.219
that are not eczema. Because, like... And now

00:51:00.219 --> 00:51:02.659
she has it under control. Thank God. And what

00:51:02.659 --> 00:51:07.280
a day the Lord has made. She opens up about being

00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:10.219
sexually abused, which I feel like that was very

00:51:10.219 --> 00:51:14.440
brave of her. Yeah. And not expected. I did not

00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:16.300
expect that from her. I didn't expect the scene

00:51:16.300 --> 00:51:19.300
to go there at all. And I guess she originally

00:51:19.300 --> 00:51:22.280
told her mom I didn't believe her. And I feel

00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:24.460
like that's a story that happens way, way, way

00:51:24.460 --> 00:51:27.920
too often, which really fucking sucks. It really

00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:31.320
broke my heart to hear. Yeah. That is so hard,

00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:35.079
especially to know, like, the time frame that

00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:40.579
she said she was, like, 9, 10, 11, 12 -ish. And

00:51:40.579 --> 00:51:42.380
then she went on to have a baby when she was

00:51:42.380 --> 00:51:49.460
16. And I think that stems from that. Because,

00:51:49.539 --> 00:51:54.320
like, hypersexuality is, like, a huge thing for

00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:57.920
kids who were abused. I don't know. It's just

00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.039
really sad. It feels like all of her adolescence

00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:03.340
was kind of stolen from her. I agree. And that

00:52:03.340 --> 00:52:04.840
really fucking sucks. And I can separate that

00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:06.800
from, like, not knowing if I really like her

00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:09.360
right now. Oh, yeah. I think this was very, very

00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:12.599
brave of her. She is a victim in that circumstance.

00:52:13.099 --> 00:52:17.239
And that's so sad. And, yeah, brave to say that

00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:19.599
on reality TV when you know millions of people

00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:23.559
are watching. Mm -hmm. Good for you for standing

00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:26.320
on your shit. Good for you. Even when your mom

00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:31.360
wouldn't believe you. That's so sad. Jen and

00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:36.900
Zach go for a walk. The most staged walk I've

00:52:36.900 --> 00:52:40.019
ever seen in my whole life, by the way. That

00:52:40.019 --> 00:52:44.400
was hard. Like a script was written, truly. Well,

00:52:44.460 --> 00:52:46.900
I think Jen wrote a script and Zach said, I don't

00:52:46.900 --> 00:52:52.030
want to read this. 100%. She knew how she wanted

00:52:52.030 --> 00:52:56.730
that talk to go. And Zach said, uh -uh. Thank

00:52:56.730 --> 00:53:00.409
you. Okay. So they unpack the Chippendales dance.

00:53:00.710 --> 00:53:06.210
Jen starts by saying, I didn't know what was

00:53:06.210 --> 00:53:09.570
going to happen. And then she says, well, the

00:53:09.570 --> 00:53:11.590
girls were making jokes about it. I didn't think

00:53:11.590 --> 00:53:13.269
anything was going to happen. Wait a minute.

00:53:13.769 --> 00:53:16.750
Wait a minute. No. Did you know or were the girls

00:53:16.750 --> 00:53:19.170
joking about it? Did you have reason to believe

00:53:19.170 --> 00:53:21.929
that something could happen, Jen? Are you lying,

00:53:22.269 --> 00:53:26.909
Jen? And then it tears away to the footage of

00:53:26.909 --> 00:53:30.130
her getting her hair done and Jesse and Demi

00:53:30.130 --> 00:53:35.610
saying, hey, we want to run this by you. We're

00:53:35.610 --> 00:53:38.909
going to do like a quasi Chippendales dance.

00:53:39.030 --> 00:53:43.559
Well, hang on. To be fair. Jesse said to Demi,

00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:46.980
I think I'm going to have the guys dress up as

00:53:46.980 --> 00:53:49.000
Chippendales dancers and have them do a tearaway.

00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:52.079
And it's going to be a Chippendales costume.

00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:53.480
They're going to show up in regular costumes.

00:53:53.619 --> 00:53:56.780
It's going to be so funny. That's what we saw

00:53:56.780 --> 00:53:59.760
in the flashback. OK, I feel like there's more

00:53:59.760 --> 00:54:02.300
to that because I distinctly remember maybe they

00:54:02.300 --> 00:54:06.400
haven't shown it yet, but they like ask her bar

00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:09.559
for bar. Do you think you guys would be OK with

00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:12.489
that? You guys being. I have a feeling that's

00:54:12.489 --> 00:54:17.869
coming later. Yeah, like they're not like she

00:54:17.869 --> 00:54:22.510
says, yes, there's not like any. Well, so I think

00:54:22.510 --> 00:54:28.309
what we're coming to is realizing that. Jen has

00:54:28.309 --> 00:54:31.130
a hard time telling the truth to multiple people.

00:54:31.389 --> 00:54:34.070
Yes, she does. And I think this is where it's

00:54:34.070 --> 00:54:35.469
going to come out, because I haven't seen the

00:54:35.469 --> 00:54:37.909
part where that comes out yet. I've only seen

00:54:37.909 --> 00:54:40.269
the part where. Demi's in the chair getting her

00:54:40.269 --> 00:54:43.949
hair done and I'm sorry, Jen's in the chair getting

00:54:43.949 --> 00:54:46.349
her hair done. And Jesse says, hey, what if we

00:54:46.349 --> 00:54:50.269
did this? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they're maybe

00:54:50.269 --> 00:54:53.250
I'm misremembering or they show more later on.

00:54:53.429 --> 00:54:57.150
But there was no like question about it. Jen

00:54:57.150 --> 00:55:01.690
said she was cool with it, period. And she defends,

00:55:01.690 --> 00:55:06.239
defends, defends. the whole way through yes but

00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:09.800
it's like girl okay i get being a people pleaser

00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:13.300
jen i do but it's not being a people pleaser

00:55:13.300 --> 00:55:16.539
though this is not what that is lying is not

00:55:16.539 --> 00:55:19.780
making anyone happy right like you're not pleasing

00:55:19.780 --> 00:55:24.559
anyone by lying yeah and and i feel like she

00:55:24.559 --> 00:55:29.429
thinks that The absence of truth is not a lie.

00:55:29.570 --> 00:55:31.969
Like if she just doesn't say anything to Zach,

00:55:32.050 --> 00:55:38.510
then it's not a lie. But it is, you know. But

00:55:38.510 --> 00:55:43.389
it's not the absence of truth. It's just telling

00:55:43.389 --> 00:55:48.820
an abject lie. Yeah. Well, I mean, like she should

00:55:48.820 --> 00:55:51.260
have told Zach before because she knew before.

00:55:51.300 --> 00:55:54.340
I agree. And that's the first time to me where

00:55:54.340 --> 00:55:57.280
she's lying. Right. Because because she thinks

00:55:57.280 --> 00:56:01.920
just not telling him is the way to go. And I

00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:04.639
just completely disagree, especially when that's

00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:09.199
your husband. And then to go on and talk to your

00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:15.139
husband and say. Well, you're just putting me

00:56:15.139 --> 00:56:19.880
in a situation where I have to pick between my

00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:23.900
job and my husband, essentially. Well, she's

00:56:23.900 --> 00:56:28.460
saying that she feels like she has to pick between

00:56:28.460 --> 00:56:32.820
mom talk and her marriage. And I feel like what's

00:56:32.820 --> 00:56:35.019
not being said here is I feel like Zach probably

00:56:35.019 --> 00:56:37.599
said behind the scenes, it's me or the show.

00:56:38.539 --> 00:56:43.630
Because I feel like, well, I feel like. I feel

00:56:43.630 --> 00:56:47.010
like he blames the show for humiliating him in

00:56:47.010 --> 00:56:51.730
his marriage. I feel like he... I just feel like

00:56:51.730 --> 00:56:53.150
that's what was said. That's just where we're

00:56:53.150 --> 00:56:56.650
at. They're not saying that on camera. I didn't

00:56:56.650 --> 00:56:59.289
take it like that. I thought that it was more

00:56:59.289 --> 00:57:04.050
she was saying, this group of women that I do

00:57:04.050 --> 00:57:07.889
this with... Wants to do this, that and the other.

00:57:08.269 --> 00:57:11.590
And my husband isn't OK with me doing any of

00:57:11.590 --> 00:57:15.429
that stuff. So now I have to choose between being

00:57:15.429 --> 00:57:18.309
friends with them and making these stupid videos

00:57:18.309 --> 00:57:21.889
and whatever. Sure. Or being married to you.

00:57:23.130 --> 00:57:26.289
Yeah, I agree. That's kind of how I took it.

00:57:26.329 --> 00:57:28.650
I don't know. That's fair. And I can see being

00:57:28.650 --> 00:57:30.650
in that position where it's like you have one

00:57:30.650 --> 00:57:33.960
group of people saying, let's go out. Let's do

00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:36.699
Chippendales. Let's drink. And then on the other

00:57:36.699 --> 00:57:40.440
side, you have your husband being like, you need

00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:45.440
to be a submissive woman. Right. Right. I agree.

00:57:45.900 --> 00:57:51.139
It's hard. I don't think they should have come

00:57:51.139 --> 00:57:53.460
on the show. I think if they were already having

00:57:53.460 --> 00:57:55.019
issues in their marriage, they should not have

00:57:55.019 --> 00:57:57.369
come on the show. I don't. And I'll say that

00:57:57.369 --> 00:58:00.389
for all of reality TV. Oh, yeah. All of these

00:58:00.389 --> 00:58:02.909
marriages that are on the rocks need to stay

00:58:02.909 --> 00:58:06.449
off of reality TV, especially if you're not okay

00:58:06.449 --> 00:58:12.329
with airing all your shit. Whitney has her baby.

00:58:13.469 --> 00:58:17.829
Yay. This is a lavender marriage, right? Oh,

00:58:17.849 --> 00:58:21.389
well, I sent you that video of Zach pinning Whitney's

00:58:21.389 --> 00:58:23.769
husband up against the wall, right? Oh, yeah.

00:58:23.969 --> 00:58:30.619
Yeah. That's hard. This is hard. It's hard to

00:58:30.619 --> 00:58:35.239
watch. And when she had her baby, is it sick

00:58:35.239 --> 00:58:37.260
that all I could think of is that one time when

00:58:37.260 --> 00:58:40.059
she made a tick tock by her sick baby in the

00:58:40.059 --> 00:58:42.159
hospital? Do you remember that? Yes. She got

00:58:42.159 --> 00:58:49.840
canceled for that. Yes. That's. Yeah. OK. Yeah.

00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:52.719
Not much to say on that. Congratulations. You

00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:56.090
had a baby. Love that. Everyone goes to a farm

00:58:56.090 --> 00:58:59.210
situation with their kids. Jen doesn't go because

00:58:59.210 --> 00:59:06.230
she's depressed. That Ferris wheel. Being so

00:59:06.230 --> 00:59:08.550
comfortable in that Ferris wheel was wild to

00:59:08.550 --> 00:59:12.190
me because you. I'd rather go on wagon wheel.

00:59:12.250 --> 00:59:20.519
Watch you see. I don't know. I'm not a big. Ferris

00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:22.800
wheel girl. That's the thing. I'll go to like

00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:25.500
Kings Island, Six Flags, Cedar Point and like

00:59:25.500 --> 00:59:27.820
those roller coasters and be fine. Yeah. But

00:59:27.820 --> 00:59:30.619
fair rides freak me out. Yeah, because they're

00:59:30.619 --> 00:59:33.079
just like set up and like. Yeah, they're rickety.

00:59:33.260 --> 00:59:37.300
Yeah. Like, do I really trust that you guys tighten

00:59:37.300 --> 00:59:42.599
the bolts all the way this time? No. The girls

00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:45.059
all kind of agree that Jen is a little bit rotten

00:59:45.059 --> 00:59:51.369
and. See, we're getting very close to a point

00:59:51.369 --> 00:59:54.670
where I have to tell you that I feel for Jen.

00:59:55.610 --> 00:59:59.750
Okay. Because she, I don't want to tell you until

00:59:59.750 --> 01:00:06.190
after Whitney goes to her house. Okay. We're

01:00:06.190 --> 01:00:08.409
not there yet. We'll get into that later. But

01:00:08.409 --> 01:00:10.630
yeah, they go to the farm. They're on the Ferris

01:00:10.630 --> 01:00:14.760
wheel. They all hate Jen. Some of the girls go

01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:16.599
through a corn maze while Taylor and Miranda

01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:19.579
go to chat. And then Taylor wants to be completely

01:00:19.579 --> 01:00:24.800
honest about the situation and. Or about the

01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:28.300
swinging situation, and I feel like Miranda and

01:00:28.300 --> 01:00:30.360
Taylor should have gotten together ahead of the

01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:34.360
situation and chatted and said, this is what

01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:36.500
I'm going to say on camera and they should have

01:00:36.500 --> 01:00:38.739
compromised. That's what I feel like should have

01:00:38.739 --> 01:00:42.800
happened. I feel like Taylor and I kind of love

01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:45.420
her for this wouldn't have ever let that happen

01:00:45.420 --> 01:00:49.000
like she's the one that I feel like no I'm gonna

01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:51.159
say what I want to say and I'm gonna say it on

01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:56.010
TV You know, I see that from her more than Miranda.

01:00:56.369 --> 01:00:59.489
And I also feel like Miranda is so scared of

01:00:59.489 --> 01:01:01.750
telling the truth. But like, if you were going

01:01:01.750 --> 01:01:04.730
to come on to the show and be, quote unquote,

01:01:04.869 --> 01:01:08.030
part of mom talk, you're going to have to just

01:01:08.030 --> 01:01:11.010
own it at some point, girl. Well, so this is

01:01:11.010 --> 01:01:14.300
what it comes down to. Taylor said Taylor. They

01:01:14.300 --> 01:01:17.360
cut to a confessional and Taylor says, this is

01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:18.900
what we did. I'll start listing everything off.

01:01:19.019 --> 01:01:21.519
They had sex with their respective husbands in

01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:23.840
the shower and in the same bed together at the

01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:27.360
same time. They blindfolded each other and guessed

01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:32.920
whose husband they were kissing. Then they basically

01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:37.659
filmed a girls gone wild scene. Yeah, like nothing

01:01:37.659 --> 01:01:41.659
crazy. I also don't know if she's telling the

01:01:41.659 --> 01:01:46.010
real juice of it. In that confessional either,

01:01:46.150 --> 01:01:47.989
because she didn't say it in the original TikTok.

01:01:48.369 --> 01:01:51.769
She's not saying it in any conversations. I don't

01:01:51.769 --> 01:01:53.250
think she would go on to say it there either.

01:01:53.570 --> 01:01:56.449
I think we're getting the tamest version regardless.

01:01:57.329 --> 01:02:00.769
I'm I'm OK with this version. Honestly, like

01:02:00.769 --> 01:02:03.769
if this is what this is, this is their business

01:02:03.769 --> 01:02:06.150
that they can share. They cannot share. I feel

01:02:06.150 --> 01:02:10.030
like they just need to be on the same page. But

01:02:10.030 --> 01:02:11.670
what they're sharing, I think, is the long and

01:02:11.670 --> 01:02:16.440
short of it. For sure. And what it comes down

01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:19.099
to is Miranda was embarrassed. And that's fair

01:02:19.099 --> 01:02:23.579
because the Mormon. Especially coming from the

01:02:23.579 --> 01:02:27.199
church. Yes. Yeah. The church makes it hard to

01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:29.079
be completely honest about this stuff because

01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:30.960
there's so much stigma put around this stuff.

01:02:31.019 --> 01:02:34.000
If you want to swing, swing. If you want to have

01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:37.840
a hundred different partners, I don't care. Right,

01:02:37.940 --> 01:02:40.579
but John Smith does. But John Smith cares. Joseph

01:02:40.579 --> 01:02:44.639
Smith. Joseph Smith. Yeah. You're going to outer

01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:48.280
darkness. I'm not. I'm not my man. I don't know

01:02:48.280 --> 01:02:51.760
his name. Jay Smith. The way they leave it. I

01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:54.679
feel like Miranda actually wants to fix things

01:02:54.679 --> 01:02:56.460
and Taylor actually wants to fix things. And

01:02:56.460 --> 01:02:58.719
I and what I appreciate is I feel like there's

01:02:58.719 --> 01:03:02.199
a genuine friendship there and they they want

01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:06.159
to get back to that. Yeah, I agree, and I think

01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:09.099
Chase being out of the picture really helps with

01:03:09.099 --> 01:03:13.579
that for them. Like, Miranda getting that divorce

01:03:13.579 --> 01:03:17.320
is definitely key in them ever being friends

01:03:17.320 --> 01:03:23.380
again. I did think they were both, like, pretty

01:03:23.380 --> 01:03:26.760
mature about the conversation. Like, Taylor wasn't

01:03:26.760 --> 01:03:30.199
dragging out everything she could for Miranda.

01:03:30.199 --> 01:03:33.690
I agree. She was respectful of the boundary.

01:03:33.730 --> 01:03:37.809
And Miranda didn't like fly off the handle about

01:03:37.809 --> 01:03:41.010
her reputation or anything like that. I felt

01:03:41.010 --> 01:03:43.030
like they were both kind of like cool headed.

01:03:43.449 --> 01:03:45.269
Well, I like where they ended that conversation.

01:03:45.349 --> 01:03:48.170
I actually, I felt really good about that. Yeah.

01:03:49.230 --> 01:03:51.710
Michaela goes to see a sexual trauma specialist

01:03:51.710 --> 01:03:56.849
and I, a couple of things. One, I didn't know

01:03:56.849 --> 01:04:01.570
that this was like its own specialty. Bless you.

01:04:01.690 --> 01:04:04.150
Excuse me. I didn't know that this was its own

01:04:04.150 --> 01:04:08.429
specialty. And I also feel like this lady is

01:04:08.429 --> 01:04:11.369
really, really good at her job. I felt the same

01:04:11.369 --> 01:04:15.090
way. She made me feel safe through the TV. Yeah.

01:04:15.289 --> 01:04:18.489
Like she definitely did a good job of like making

01:04:18.489 --> 01:04:21.230
it known that Michaela was in a safe space and

01:04:21.230 --> 01:04:23.769
she could share her truth and she would be heard.

01:04:23.869 --> 01:04:27.489
Well, she was also like, call it out. Say how

01:04:27.489 --> 01:04:31.030
you feel. Yeah. Put a name to it. Yes. You know,

01:04:31.050 --> 01:04:34.269
and that I think is really powerful, especially

01:04:34.269 --> 01:04:37.309
even outside of the church. I feel like women

01:04:37.309 --> 01:04:39.590
are always told to kind of like push it down,

01:04:39.630 --> 01:04:42.809
push it down. What you feel is dramatic. What

01:04:42.809 --> 01:04:46.690
you feel is not real. It's all in your head.

01:04:46.789 --> 01:04:50.230
So I think that was really, really good to have

01:04:50.230 --> 01:04:53.150
on TV, especially with like teenagers watching

01:04:53.150 --> 01:04:56.400
because I'm sure teenagers love this show. I

01:04:56.400 --> 01:04:59.440
also having it on TV, period. But like, I feel

01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:06.199
like filming it is incredibly brave because you're

01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:08.800
you have to reckon with a lot of this. Number

01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:14.579
one. Number two, you have to know this person

01:05:14.579 --> 01:05:19.139
may or may not see it. And their family and the

01:05:19.139 --> 01:05:22.539
people who defend your abuser. Yes. And you have

01:05:22.539 --> 01:05:25.260
to stand in the face of all of them and be like,

01:05:25.320 --> 01:05:29.559
no, this happened to me and I was hurt by it.

01:05:29.599 --> 01:05:34.099
Right. And still am. Right. And it's like, I

01:05:34.099 --> 01:05:38.519
will give that to her. So what she is doing had

01:05:38.519 --> 01:05:40.460
to be a very scary thing to do. I'm very proud

01:05:40.460 --> 01:05:43.860
of her for doing that. Yeah. Yeah, let that man

01:05:43.860 --> 01:05:45.860
try to touch her. I'll be in Utah in two seconds.

01:05:45.900 --> 01:05:50.400
Let's go to Utah. Whitney is at the house with

01:05:50.400 --> 01:05:54.860
her baby. Taylor and Macy show up to visit. Yeah,

01:05:54.940 --> 01:05:58.599
it's very like mom's stuck at home because the

01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:02.159
baby's brand new and she wants all the tea. Is

01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:04.420
there talking about the the chaos from the Halloween

01:06:04.420 --> 01:06:07.500
party? And this is where Whitney realizes I missed

01:06:07.500 --> 01:06:10.360
this life. Yeah, I feel like that was kind of

01:06:10.360 --> 01:06:14.150
when she decided like. I need to be in Mom Talk.

01:06:14.710 --> 01:06:20.590
And part of me is okay with that. Listen, if

01:06:20.590 --> 01:06:25.409
you want to make your money on TikTok with five

01:06:25.409 --> 01:06:28.289
other women and have fun, I think you should

01:06:28.289 --> 01:06:30.269
do that. Yeah. Especially with the amount of

01:06:30.269 --> 01:06:34.949
money they're pulling in. Well, that, but also...

01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:37.900
she was part of the original mom talk and like

01:06:37.900 --> 01:06:41.880
if you like there's yeah like it's fine like

01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:45.340
i i don't i don't know if i like her but like

01:06:45.340 --> 01:06:48.079
i remember last week i said i don't like her

01:06:48.079 --> 01:06:49.699
i don't know if that's gonna change i don't know

01:06:49.699 --> 01:06:56.199
if i like her i'm warming up to her i've finished

01:06:56.199 --> 01:07:00.480
the season and i still like i don't love her

01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:05.690
i just feel kind of like She might be middle

01:07:05.690 --> 01:07:07.929
of the pack for me. I don't love her. There is

01:07:07.929 --> 01:07:11.289
one moment, and I already talked about it kind

01:07:11.289 --> 01:07:15.769
of, where I really do respect her and, like,

01:07:15.789 --> 01:07:19.809
see her as a good friend. But otherwise, like,

01:07:19.889 --> 01:07:22.670
she's just kind of neither here nor there for

01:07:22.670 --> 01:07:27.030
me. We'll get there. Jen and Zach are in a very,

01:07:27.050 --> 01:07:31.070
very dark place, and Jen's pregnant. Yeah. It's

01:07:31.070 --> 01:07:35.550
rough. It's really rough. Janet's having a crisis

01:07:35.550 --> 01:07:37.309
of conscience, I feel like, because she starts

01:07:37.309 --> 01:07:39.150
talking about, I'm not the person I want to be

01:07:39.150 --> 01:07:42.530
when I'm bringing a baby into this world. 100%.

01:07:42.530 --> 01:07:45.489
And I think she's self -aware that she's dealing

01:07:45.489 --> 01:07:47.869
with drama that's not age -appropriate for her.

01:07:48.429 --> 01:07:51.389
Because we're talking about lying and hiding

01:07:51.389 --> 01:07:54.550
things from your man, who's your husband and

01:07:54.550 --> 01:07:57.210
father of your children, not just your little

01:07:57.210 --> 01:08:01.320
boyfriend. I agree. And I think she's... And

01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:03.900
I respect that about her. I think she's self

01:08:03.900 --> 01:08:07.739
-aware that she's lying to her friends and hiding

01:08:07.739 --> 01:08:13.579
things and isn't where she wants to be. And that's

01:08:13.579 --> 01:08:15.920
good. I don't think you can ever improve if you

01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:18.100
never realize that you're not where you want

01:08:18.100 --> 01:08:22.239
to be. You have to realize that there's room

01:08:22.239 --> 01:08:24.359
for improvement to ever improve. Where I want

01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:28.279
her to be is not on this show. Really? As of

01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:31.979
now, yes. I don't know how I feel. I don't...

01:08:31.979 --> 01:08:37.220
I do think she, ideally, like, for everyone in

01:08:37.220 --> 01:08:41.319
her life to be happy, I do think she has to step

01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:43.699
away from all these women because she needs to

01:08:43.699 --> 01:08:47.539
live a more, I hate to say it, Mormon life than

01:08:47.539 --> 01:08:50.340
the rest of them because I think to appease Zach

01:08:50.340 --> 01:08:55.399
and to bring their kids through life the way...

01:08:55.949 --> 01:08:58.649
her husband wants her to and all of that, if

01:08:58.649 --> 01:09:03.210
she really, like, is committed to that, I think

01:09:03.210 --> 01:09:05.449
she has to step away from all of this. However,

01:09:05.710 --> 01:09:10.189
I will say I knew Jen before I knew Taylor because

01:09:10.189 --> 01:09:13.449
of her dancing on the counter for her baby videos.

01:09:13.970 --> 01:09:16.710
I saw those on TikTok, like, years and years

01:09:16.710 --> 01:09:21.609
ago. And, like... She never gave that to me.

01:09:21.930 --> 01:09:25.210
So unfortunately, I think a big part of it is

01:09:25.210 --> 01:09:28.170
that I think a lot of her problems stem from

01:09:28.170 --> 01:09:30.449
her and Zach not being a good match in the sense

01:09:30.449 --> 01:09:33.529
that she wouldn't have had to lie about the Chippendales

01:09:33.529 --> 01:09:36.449
thing. She never would have had the crash out

01:09:36.449 --> 01:09:39.750
in Vegas. She never would have had all of these

01:09:39.750 --> 01:09:45.510
issues if it weren't for the ideals of her husband.

01:09:45.770 --> 01:09:49.060
I agree. I just don't think they're a good match.

01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:51.279
I feel like either she needs to get a divorce,

01:09:51.500 --> 01:09:54.180
which I don't see happening. Nope. Or she needs

01:09:54.180 --> 01:09:56.560
to step away from these girls because these girls

01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:59.680
and her husband have very different ideas of

01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:03.380
how she should be living her life. I agree. And

01:10:03.380 --> 01:10:05.560
it's sad. It is. So that's the end of episode

01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:10.159
three. Episode four, the book of taboos. I had

01:10:10.159 --> 01:10:11.979
a lot of ups and downs in this episode. I'm going

01:10:11.979 --> 01:10:14.579
to be very real with you. You didn't know Layla

01:10:14.579 --> 01:10:18.300
had ever had an orgasm? No. they talk about it

01:10:18.300 --> 01:10:21.119
in the first season, but it's like very, I don't

01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:22.800
remember the first season. I'm going to be honest.

01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:25.479
Like that was a fever dream. I don't remember

01:10:25.479 --> 01:10:29.060
what Whitney did. I want, I want us to go back.

01:10:29.079 --> 01:10:31.760
Like after we finish the season two, I want us

01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:33.600
to go back and like rewatch season one. Because

01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:37.880
I. I don't remember any. I know this is embarrassing.

01:10:37.979 --> 01:10:40.319
I know that Whitney did a whole bunch of shit,

01:10:40.340 --> 01:10:42.579
but I don't actually remember what she did. I

01:10:42.579 --> 01:10:45.319
feel like I know I didn't like Whitney. And that's

01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:47.520
why I opened season two with being like demon

01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:50.319
monster. Whitney is bad. Yeah. But like, I don't

01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:52.340
remember any. But I did remember that Layla had

01:10:52.340 --> 01:10:54.680
never had an orgasm because like, look at her.

01:10:54.760 --> 01:10:58.819
Why does no man do it for her? I do think it's

01:10:58.819 --> 01:11:02.159
she's talked about it a little bit. I don't think

01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:05.449
it's. All just the men she's hooked up with.

01:11:05.510 --> 01:11:07.770
She said that she has like a lot of internalized

01:11:07.770 --> 01:11:12.090
guilt around sex in general. We get to that.

01:11:12.310 --> 01:11:18.850
Yeah. So it's like I kind of get that. Taylor,

01:11:19.149 --> 01:11:22.859
Michaela and Macy go to brunch. We find out I

01:11:22.859 --> 01:11:25.279
don't know if we find this out or this is something

01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:27.659
we already knew. I this is the first time I remember

01:11:27.659 --> 01:11:31.180
hearing it. Dakota's newly sober. So Taylor felt

01:11:31.180 --> 01:11:32.800
like she had to check on him after the whole

01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:34.539
thing was said and done at the Halloween party.

01:11:34.659 --> 01:11:38.800
Yeah. I feel like Taylor is working on herself

01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:41.000
and I feel like she's becoming more self -aware,

01:11:41.199 --> 01:11:43.779
which I really like about Taylor because I don't

01:11:43.779 --> 01:11:46.399
I think she's very different from she. Who I

01:11:46.399 --> 01:11:48.939
remember her being in the first season. A hundred

01:11:48.939 --> 01:11:52.460
percent. I think that she's a more mature version

01:11:52.460 --> 01:11:56.439
of herself this season than she was before. She's

01:11:56.439 --> 01:11:59.119
not making so many excuses for herself. She's

01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:03.079
standing on what needs to be stood on and admitting

01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:07.279
when she's wrong more, which I really appreciated.

01:12:07.359 --> 01:12:10.479
I liked to see that she was going to couples

01:12:10.479 --> 01:12:15.420
therapy with Dakota to try to. make amends with

01:12:15.420 --> 01:12:18.279
him i thought that was very mature of her i think

01:12:18.279 --> 01:12:20.859
that's mature but i have a problem with her psychiatrist

01:12:20.859 --> 01:12:23.600
being the couple's therapist because i think

01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:27.020
that's a conflict of interest number one i i

01:12:27.020 --> 01:12:30.100
think if anything i hate to defend a man but

01:12:30.100 --> 01:12:33.659
i think it's unfair to dakota because you have

01:12:33.659 --> 01:12:36.920
a psychiatrist who is like your individual psychiatrist

01:12:38.010 --> 01:12:41.289
is kind of like a team player for you. They want

01:12:41.289 --> 01:12:44.210
to see you do better. They want to see you improve.

01:12:44.529 --> 01:12:47.310
And they're, like, biased towards your mental

01:12:47.310 --> 01:12:50.970
health. And so, like, it's just not really fair

01:12:50.970 --> 01:12:53.470
because I feel like how can Dakota's side be

01:12:53.470 --> 01:12:58.229
heard? I agree. I don't know. Yeah, that is weird.

01:12:58.529 --> 01:13:02.789
Macy brings up that she got a sinner Sunday confession

01:13:02.789 --> 01:13:04.590
that someone hooked up with Brett while Demi

01:13:04.590 --> 01:13:07.289
was on a trip. I don't know if I believe it,

01:13:07.310 --> 01:13:10.369
but I don't know if I don't believe it. Yeah.

01:13:10.770 --> 01:13:15.550
Like, I mean, obviously, I see kind of how it

01:13:15.550 --> 01:13:18.109
shakes out in the end, but you never know the

01:13:18.109 --> 01:13:21.250
real truth, obviously, because it was an anonymous

01:13:21.250 --> 01:13:27.949
thing. But I just feel because, like, the only

01:13:27.949 --> 01:13:30.890
time Demi was away was for Vanderpump Villa.

01:13:31.800 --> 01:13:34.180
And so that's when they were saying this must

01:13:34.180 --> 01:13:39.300
have happened and la la da. I don't know. Well,

01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:41.640
we'll see how this goes, because this comes up

01:13:41.640 --> 01:13:44.579
towards the end of this episode, which I feel

01:13:44.579 --> 01:13:46.199
like is a cliffhanger into the next episode.

01:13:46.220 --> 01:13:49.260
Yeah. It doesn't really come to a head until

01:13:49.260 --> 01:13:52.819
the last five minutes of episode 10. Can't wait.

01:13:53.020 --> 01:13:57.159
It did not shake out how I thought it would.

01:13:57.260 --> 01:14:02.359
Ladies and gentlemen, did not. Jen goes to Miranda's

01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:05.180
house because I feel like Miranda is the only

01:14:05.180 --> 01:14:09.500
one talking to her at this point. Yeah, I like

01:14:09.500 --> 01:14:13.399
the idea of Jen and Miranda being friends because

01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:17.500
I. Do you? In the sense of like what I said before,

01:14:17.659 --> 01:14:19.880
where I think Jen and Zach are not a good match.

01:14:19.939 --> 01:14:22.899
I think Miranda could be a great example of like

01:14:22.899 --> 01:14:27.659
how she could be happy and not married, maybe.

01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:32.539
Sure. And let me just. I understand that Jen

01:14:32.539 --> 01:14:34.720
and Zach love each other. I'm not saying that

01:14:34.720 --> 01:14:38.100
they don't. What I'm saying is she's an emotional

01:14:38.100 --> 01:14:40.579
wreck, and I think part of it is that she and

01:14:40.579 --> 01:14:42.479
her husband don't get along. That's all I'm saying.

01:14:43.380 --> 01:14:47.000
So this brings me to the only thing I wrote down

01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:49.159
about this scene. Jen is miserable in her marriage,

01:14:49.180 --> 01:14:52.100
and she causes spiritual warfare. Yeah. Lord

01:14:52.100 --> 01:14:55.880
have mercy. Which is so dramatic. Like, you're

01:14:55.880 --> 01:15:00.529
miserable in your marriage. That's okay. Because

01:15:00.529 --> 01:15:03.210
she brings it back to like, I feel like I'm not

01:15:03.210 --> 01:15:05.909
close to God anymore. And like, I get like someone

01:15:05.909 --> 01:15:08.350
who came from the church. I get that that's hard.

01:15:08.670 --> 01:15:12.409
Those two things aren't related, babe. No. And

01:15:12.409 --> 01:15:16.270
I think it really comes back to they just aren't

01:15:16.270 --> 01:15:20.699
talking about their actual big issues. Yes. They're

01:15:20.699 --> 01:15:22.880
not compatible. She and Zach. That's what I'm

01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:26.060
saying. Like, she could be so happy on her own.

01:15:26.100 --> 01:15:29.880
And I think Zach could be happy on his own. And

01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:33.239
I think they would be wonderful at co -parenting.

01:15:33.380 --> 01:15:35.779
I think that they could definitely figure that

01:15:35.779 --> 01:15:38.500
out. I don't think either of them wants that.

01:15:38.619 --> 01:15:41.420
I think they want to somehow make it work. It's

01:15:41.420 --> 01:15:46.500
just not working. I agree. The boys go golfing.

01:15:47.590 --> 01:15:52.310
Yeah. What did you think about this scene? Zach

01:15:52.310 --> 01:15:57.289
is like trying to be big and strong. I don't

01:15:57.289 --> 01:15:59.630
I didn't even take it like that. Zach wants to

01:15:59.630 --> 01:16:01.170
confront the guys about the whole Chippendales

01:16:01.170 --> 01:16:05.229
thing. And I thought his approach was very, very,

01:16:05.289 --> 01:16:10.189
very healthy and very good until he said, yeah,

01:16:10.329 --> 01:16:14.250
you touched my wife without consent. That's what

01:16:14.250 --> 01:16:19.659
really got me. When he treated it like sexual

01:16:19.659 --> 01:16:24.319
assault, he lost me. I was like, you are not

01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:28.500
this big macho man who's convincing Brett that

01:16:28.500 --> 01:16:30.800
he committed a crime. Well, I don't even think

01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:32.439
he was trying to do that. Like, because he said,

01:16:32.460 --> 01:16:34.500
well, if I want to be, he said, if I wanted to

01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:38.180
be petty, I could say this. Well, you just said

01:16:38.180 --> 01:16:41.079
it on camera. Yeah, babe. You just said it, number

01:16:41.079 --> 01:16:45.170
one. And, but what I will give. brett and jordan

01:16:45.170 --> 01:16:48.029
is that i think they navigated that landmine

01:16:48.029 --> 01:16:52.569
pretty well i think so too i think they all kind

01:16:52.569 --> 01:16:55.630
of kept a cool head i mean even zach to a point

01:16:55.630 --> 01:16:59.390
kind of like kept his cool no one was like screaming

01:16:59.390 --> 01:17:02.930
or anything well because i think this you in

01:17:02.930 --> 01:17:05.149
this situation you have three rational people

01:17:05.149 --> 01:17:08.210
talking to each other i think i wouldn't call

01:17:08.210 --> 01:17:12.199
zach rational i i think what the guys he is I

01:17:12.199 --> 01:17:15.039
think his opinion on the Chippendales thing in

01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:18.500
general is not rational. OK, that's fair. You

01:17:18.500 --> 01:17:21.539
know, I think he was hand handling this moment

01:17:21.539 --> 01:17:24.739
rationally, maybe. Yeah, I think I think if that's

01:17:24.739 --> 01:17:27.380
going to be your opinion, that your girl isn't

01:17:27.380 --> 01:17:31.939
allowed to see men dance, then you handled it

01:17:31.939 --> 01:17:35.439
well. Sure. But it's just I can't believe that's

01:17:35.439 --> 01:17:38.939
the hill you're willing to die on. But. Here

01:17:38.939 --> 01:17:41.500
again, we find ourselves in a situation where

01:17:41.500 --> 01:17:43.579
Jen has told Zach a completely different story

01:17:43.579 --> 01:17:47.159
than everyone else knows. And the guys are all

01:17:47.159 --> 01:17:49.220
calling it out. And what I really appreciated

01:17:49.220 --> 01:17:54.600
about Brett was the way he said, you need to

01:17:54.600 --> 01:17:56.739
at least be open to this being a possibility.

01:17:57.460 --> 01:18:00.880
And Zach is still like, well, if I find this

01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:02.619
out, it's really going to suck. Baby found it

01:18:02.619 --> 01:18:05.119
out before this. This is not the first time you're

01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:08.189
hearing. My wife is a liar, basically. Right.

01:18:08.850 --> 01:18:13.310
I will say. So before he talked to Demi and Jesse,

01:18:13.550 --> 01:18:17.750
who are the wives of Brett and Jordan? So it's

01:18:17.750 --> 01:18:21.819
like. from his perspective, is this just a united

01:18:21.819 --> 01:18:26.520
front against Jen or is this true? You know what

01:18:26.520 --> 01:18:28.579
I mean? I can see that. Cause they're not like

01:18:28.579 --> 01:18:31.560
separate from their wives in my mind. You know

01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.300
what I mean? Um, but I don't know. I don't know.

01:18:34.319 --> 01:18:36.300
Now he's hearing it from both sides. And so I

01:18:36.300 --> 01:18:38.560
feel like that's when he starts to be like, okay,

01:18:38.659 --> 01:18:44.199
Jen definitely knew, which she did. We, we go

01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:47.979
to a scene of Taylor just driving in her car.

01:18:48.699 --> 01:18:51.039
But let me tell you something. Taylor is wearing

01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:55.539
this Goyard bag out. She is. She loves that tote.

01:18:55.720 --> 01:18:58.159
She loves that Goyard tote. And she's either

01:18:58.159 --> 01:19:00.319
sponsored by Goyard or, like, she got it as a

01:19:00.319 --> 01:19:02.420
gift from someone she really, really loves. Like,

01:19:02.420 --> 01:19:04.340
one of those two things is happening. If I had

01:19:04.340 --> 01:19:07.140
a giant Goyard bag and a little baby, that would

01:19:07.140 --> 01:19:13.039
be my diaper bag, too. I respect it, girl. They

01:19:13.039 --> 01:19:15.920
have some flashbacks to therapy where Dakota's

01:19:15.920 --> 01:19:19.890
wearing a hat again. Thank God. Thank God. That

01:19:19.890 --> 01:19:23.250
hairline needs help. But it's not the hairline.

01:19:23.270 --> 01:19:25.430
It's the way the, it's like he's pulling his

01:19:25.430 --> 01:19:28.989
hair back and it's. Well, it's because he does

01:19:28.989 --> 01:19:31.210
have a bad hairline. Like it goes back on both

01:19:31.210 --> 01:19:34.470
sides really far. And then to make matters worse

01:19:34.470 --> 01:19:37.729
in the middle where it has stayed, where it's

01:19:37.729 --> 01:19:42.590
supposed to be is thinning so bad. Okay. So it's

01:19:42.590 --> 01:19:45.649
like you have these little cul -de -sacs. The

01:19:45.649 --> 01:19:48.239
things that I have. And then the thinning. Yeah,

01:19:48.260 --> 01:19:50.479
I guess. But yours doesn't look as bad because

01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:55.060
it's like if your hair was thinning in the middle.

01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:57.140
That's what Dakota's hair is like. I'll kill

01:19:57.140 --> 01:19:58.920
myself when my hair starts thinning in the middle.

01:19:59.699 --> 01:20:03.479
Poor guy. He's like early 30s. He's not even

01:20:03.479 --> 01:20:06.359
that old. He's like, he's all right. Well, he's

01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:10.939
my age, but anyway. How old am I? I don't know.

01:20:11.260 --> 01:20:13.399
He is saying all the right things in therapy.

01:20:14.840 --> 01:20:20.270
Yeah. What concerns me is, do you know who else

01:20:20.270 --> 01:20:24.850
used to do this? Big Joe, my ex uncle. Yeah.

01:20:24.949 --> 01:20:28.149
Who went in front of the people that mattered.

01:20:28.609 --> 01:20:31.550
He would say all of the right things. He would

01:20:31.550 --> 01:20:36.510
get you to believe that he was on the right path.

01:20:37.210 --> 01:20:40.689
And that is a bipolar narcissist is who my ex

01:20:40.689 --> 01:20:43.289
-uncle is. And I believe we might have the same

01:20:43.289 --> 01:20:46.829
thing on our hands with one Mr. Dakota. Yeah,

01:20:46.970 --> 01:20:50.770
I do think he like definitely turns it on for

01:20:50.770 --> 01:20:53.989
therapy and then turns it off when he's alone

01:20:53.989 --> 01:20:57.829
with Taylor. And also turns it on for the confessionals,

01:20:57.829 --> 01:20:59.789
like where it's just him talking to the camera.

01:21:00.130 --> 01:21:06.189
Yeah. He comes across as very victim, very, I

01:21:06.189 --> 01:21:09.050
want my family to be together. I want to be the

01:21:09.050 --> 01:21:12.189
good guy. And then he can't do that when the

01:21:12.189 --> 01:21:13.810
cameras are around the rest of the time. I don't

01:21:13.810 --> 01:21:16.630
get it. There's a scene where you haven't gotten

01:21:16.630 --> 01:21:18.750
there yet, but this is not a spoiler. Taylor

01:21:18.750 --> 01:21:22.529
drops the baby off at Dakota's apartment and

01:21:22.529 --> 01:21:28.340
he doesn't have wipes. To be fair, if you ever

01:21:28.340 --> 01:21:31.460
drop August off at my house. But you're not his

01:21:31.460 --> 01:21:36.000
dad. Okay, that's fair. You should. I don't know.

01:21:36.020 --> 01:21:38.539
If you have a baby, you should have a whole setup

01:21:38.539 --> 01:21:41.100
for when you're expecting them. You need to have.

01:21:41.319 --> 01:21:44.140
He wants to live like he lives in. He wants to

01:21:44.140 --> 01:21:48.300
live like I did at IU. Then stop having babies

01:21:48.300 --> 01:21:50.380
and stop saying you want your family together.

01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:52.079
I agree. You don't want your family together.

01:21:52.159 --> 01:21:55.539
Oh, my God. It's the whole thing. But yeah, I

01:21:55.539 --> 01:21:57.520
don't know how I feel about it because I also

01:21:57.520 --> 01:22:01.060
think that Taylor kind of does that. Oh, yeah.

01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:03.659
I feel like she. They're both immature. Yeah.

01:22:03.779 --> 01:22:06.100
And I feel like they're both kind of manipulative

01:22:06.100 --> 01:22:09.420
people. And so we're watching them try to manipulate

01:22:09.420 --> 01:22:14.020
each other. That's hard. It's a lot to watch.

01:22:14.640 --> 01:22:18.079
I feel like they're going to end up back together

01:22:18.079 --> 01:22:20.239
at least two times before they're done done.

01:22:20.420 --> 01:22:24.350
Oh. At least. I think it's that kind of toxic

01:22:24.350 --> 01:22:27.949
couple where they're addicted to the toxicity.

01:22:27.949 --> 01:22:31.930
Oh, yeah. Where they fear that if they enter

01:22:31.930 --> 01:22:35.829
a new relationship, they'll miss the drama. They'll

01:22:35.829 --> 01:22:39.970
be bored by a healthy relationship. Yeah. I agree.

01:22:41.189 --> 01:22:45.390
We go to Demi's sex party. Loved that, by the

01:22:45.390 --> 01:22:48.750
way. I loved it. I hated it. And here's here's

01:22:48.750 --> 01:22:50.789
the thing. So they found the one sex coach in

01:22:50.789 --> 01:22:54.989
Utah to come to this party. That poor woman.

01:22:55.770 --> 01:23:00.270
Bless her heart. Because aside from her day to

01:23:00.270 --> 01:23:03.189
day job of dealing with people in Utah of all

01:23:03.189 --> 01:23:05.729
places. Trying to have sex with each other. Right.

01:23:06.810 --> 01:23:09.050
She's like, OK, I guess I'm going to go on TV

01:23:09.050 --> 01:23:18.349
now. And she shows up to Demi's house. Where

01:23:18.349 --> 01:23:23.529
they can't they can't just be cool, immature

01:23:23.529 --> 01:23:26.710
about it. That's the problem that I had. Yeah,

01:23:26.829 --> 01:23:30.770
they're very like giggly and uncomfortable. Yeah.

01:23:30.869 --> 01:23:34.789
And when they're doing the like exercise of it

01:23:34.789 --> 01:23:37.609
all, when they're like playing with the toys

01:23:37.609 --> 01:23:40.069
and whatever, finding what feels good for them.

01:23:41.180 --> 01:23:44.520
no one is taking it seriously right and it's

01:23:44.520 --> 01:23:48.020
like why did you come to this to be awkward and

01:23:48.020 --> 01:23:50.920
weird right and like get into it or get out to

01:23:50.920 --> 01:23:53.140
be fair there is some like there's like you have

01:23:53.140 --> 01:23:54.720
to laugh some of that off you have to like get

01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:57.199
through like that the giggles of it all but like

01:23:57.199 --> 01:23:59.579
sure but they just seem like they couldn't get

01:23:59.579 --> 01:24:01.640
out of middle school yeah you know like they

01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:03.979
were just learning about sex right it was so

01:24:03.979 --> 01:24:07.060
weird i don't know maybe it's just how it was

01:24:07.060 --> 01:24:10.319
edited i don't know it probably was a big part

01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:14.760
of it but i'm shocked and honestly kind of pleasantly

01:24:14.760 --> 01:24:17.680
surprised everyone actually showed up well should

01:24:17.680 --> 01:24:20.000
have been lingerie yeah like everyone looks so

01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:23.720
good stunning like really good and it wasn't

01:24:23.720 --> 01:24:27.300
like you'll get to an episode when we recap the

01:24:27.300 --> 01:24:28.739
rehearsals of salt lake city where they all have

01:24:28.739 --> 01:24:32.199
it's jen shaw's piece of shit garbage whore lingerie

01:24:32.199 --> 01:24:36.199
party is what she calls it and Lisa Barlow shows

01:24:36.199 --> 01:24:39.800
up in head to toe, like might as well have shown

01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:43.100
up in a burka. But it was like like flannel pajamas.

01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:48.880
Oh, my God. And these girls who I would argue

01:24:48.880 --> 01:24:50.600
are much more conservative than Lisa Barlow.

01:24:50.680 --> 01:24:54.100
Yeah. Showed up in real lingerie. And they all

01:24:54.100 --> 01:24:56.359
looked incredible. They really did. They all

01:24:56.359 --> 01:25:01.039
looked good. Yeah. Yeah. Loved it. During this

01:25:01.039 --> 01:25:03.680
during the party, the dads are doing dad talk.

01:25:04.939 --> 01:25:07.899
yeah i mean that's fine listen i'm glad they

01:25:07.899 --> 01:25:10.539
all get along i really i agree yeah i think that

01:25:10.539 --> 01:25:14.060
would be like really a rift if a lot of the men

01:25:14.060 --> 01:25:18.300
had problems with each other but right but then

01:25:18.300 --> 01:25:22.420
the part that actually was it was hard for me

01:25:22.420 --> 01:25:25.840
to watch this part leila can't comprehend that

01:25:25.840 --> 01:25:30.350
sex should be pleasurable for her too that actually

01:25:30.350 --> 01:25:32.329
made me sad because they were like, what feels

01:25:32.329 --> 01:25:35.130
good? Because her answer to the what do you like

01:25:35.130 --> 01:25:37.970
question was, I like seeing my partner feel good.

01:25:38.449 --> 01:25:41.909
And I think it was Demi asked her, no, what feels

01:25:41.909 --> 01:25:43.850
good for you? And she said, what do you mean?

01:25:44.130 --> 01:25:49.949
And that made me really sad. I think sex has

01:25:49.949 --> 01:25:52.750
been such a problem for her in her life. And

01:25:52.750 --> 01:25:57.090
unfortunately, even outside of the church, like

01:25:57.090 --> 01:26:00.590
in society, that's just like, not really something

01:26:00.590 --> 01:26:02.449
you can talk about. Like, you're not going to

01:26:02.449 --> 01:26:05.289
make a TikTok and be like, I really struggle

01:26:05.289 --> 01:26:07.989
feeling good about sex. Like, that's just not

01:26:07.989 --> 01:26:11.550
really something. Okay, so here's my question.

01:26:11.670 --> 01:26:14.770
Do you and I just have a very healthy relationship

01:26:14.770 --> 01:26:17.050
with sex? Because when you and I talk about this

01:26:17.050 --> 01:26:20.810
kind of stuff, I don't feel like we get weird

01:26:20.810 --> 01:26:22.569
about it. Like, do you and I just have a healthy

01:26:22.569 --> 01:26:25.609
relationship or, like, are we weird? No, I think

01:26:25.609 --> 01:26:31.100
that... I don't know. I think that we have a

01:26:31.100 --> 01:26:33.199
healthy relationship with sex and also that we

01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:36.479
feel comfortable with each other. I also feel

01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:38.939
like I wouldn't ever, like, go online and talk

01:26:38.939 --> 01:26:41.220
about my sex life. You know what I mean? Okay,

01:26:41.220 --> 01:26:43.979
okay, fair, fair, fair. Like, I just, I'm just

01:26:43.979 --> 01:26:47.659
not like that. Like, I just can't. And most people

01:26:47.659 --> 01:26:49.640
aren't, especially if you're having trouble in

01:26:49.640 --> 01:26:52.380
the bedroom. Like, you're never gonna, like...

01:26:52.380 --> 01:26:55.539
Oh, okay, yeah. Like, for Layla, I just don't

01:26:55.539 --> 01:26:59.890
see her making a TikTok being, like... I can't

01:26:59.890 --> 01:27:03.090
come. So it's, we're talking about two kind of

01:27:03.090 --> 01:27:05.449
different, not two different issues, but two

01:27:05.449 --> 01:27:09.770
ways of approaching it where she's, this is happening

01:27:09.770 --> 01:27:12.750
in her life. And she's like, she's kind of honest

01:27:12.750 --> 01:27:14.609
about it with herself, but then she has to be

01:27:14.609 --> 01:27:17.130
honest about it on reality television. Yeah.

01:27:17.710 --> 01:27:20.670
And okay. Okay. That's a different thing. Cause

01:27:20.670 --> 01:27:23.329
it's like as separated as she is from the church.

01:27:23.390 --> 01:27:25.810
I feel like she's still, it never leaves you

01:27:25.810 --> 01:27:28.489
though. Yeah. She still has those ideals in her.

01:27:28.569 --> 01:27:31.850
And then you have society as a whole, which is

01:27:31.850 --> 01:27:35.289
sex positive, but only to a certain point. And

01:27:35.289 --> 01:27:38.890
so it's like, we're a sex positive wink. Right.

01:27:39.029 --> 01:27:41.489
Exactly. And so I don't think she necessarily

01:27:41.489 --> 01:27:44.789
has the safe space to be like, yeah, listen,

01:27:44.909 --> 01:27:46.789
this is something I really struggle with, especially,

01:27:46.989 --> 01:27:50.750
Especially when she has this new boyfriend this

01:27:50.750 --> 01:27:55.090
season who's very, very Mormon. I feel like he

01:27:55.090 --> 01:27:57.369
wouldn't have liked that either if she was like,

01:27:57.550 --> 01:28:00.750
yeah, we're having sex, but I don't like it.

01:28:00.949 --> 01:28:04.810
They said that when they were at the at the car

01:28:04.810 --> 01:28:07.090
or like at the Ferris wheel, though, when they

01:28:07.090 --> 01:28:09.850
have sex. Yes. Yeah. She said, do you feel pressure

01:28:09.850 --> 01:28:11.890
to make me come? Like she said that to him. Oh,

01:28:12.149 --> 01:28:16.869
I don't remember. Yeah. What? Yeah. Oh. Is it

01:28:16.869 --> 01:28:19.390
because she said that on TV? Is that why she

01:28:19.390 --> 01:28:22.609
asked that? Because she said she's never come

01:28:22.609 --> 01:28:25.329
like on TV. Do you think that's why she's asking?

01:28:25.810 --> 01:28:30.449
Maybe. I don't know. But like. It is a hard situation.

01:28:30.449 --> 01:28:32.630
I feel like a piece of shit if I was that guy.

01:28:32.770 --> 01:28:36.890
I know. Make me come. I know, but I feel like

01:28:36.890 --> 01:28:39.329
it has little to do with him and everything to

01:28:39.329 --> 01:28:42.289
do with her. I think she feels so constricted

01:28:42.289 --> 01:28:45.069
and guilty about I think she has a very Jesus

01:28:45.069 --> 01:28:49.130
is watching kind of. Well, probably. But when

01:28:49.130 --> 01:28:51.510
you if you ever listen to Derek and Romaine,

01:28:51.510 --> 01:28:57.649
Romaine is like is is like a sexpert. And she

01:28:57.649 --> 01:29:02.039
talks a lot about how. With guys, it's very easy

01:29:02.039 --> 01:29:06.100
for a guy to get off in most scenarios. For a

01:29:06.100 --> 01:29:11.079
girl, it is very psychological. Yeah, it's a

01:29:11.079 --> 01:29:14.500
mental game more than anything. And I think she's

01:29:14.500 --> 01:29:17.699
losing that battle. I agree. Which is hard to

01:29:17.699 --> 01:29:22.260
watch. It is. I want her. I want nothing but

01:29:22.260 --> 01:29:24.039
good things for her. I think Layla is so cool.

01:29:24.100 --> 01:29:25.460
I know. Like, I want to be her friend really

01:29:25.460 --> 01:29:31.189
bad. I want her to be a squirt queen. She deserves

01:29:31.189 --> 01:29:34.409
it. She deserves it. We come to the final scene.

01:29:35.430 --> 01:29:39.489
Macy got a book deal, I guess. Are we reading

01:29:39.489 --> 01:29:42.029
this book? Are we going to read this book? Maybe

01:29:42.029 --> 01:29:46.729
only because have you gotten? No, it's the next

01:29:46.729 --> 01:29:51.289
episode. The one after what you're. So it must

01:29:51.289 --> 01:29:56.649
be episode five. She opens up more about. what

01:29:56.649 --> 01:29:59.489
the book is about okay and it's something very

01:29:59.489 --> 01:30:03.029
relatable to me okay so we'll get there cool

01:30:03.029 --> 01:30:06.829
it actually might be a good thing to talk about

01:30:06.829 --> 01:30:12.250
on the podcast okay yeah because basically her

01:30:12.250 --> 01:30:21.569
you know her son's dad died i think i i think

01:30:21.569 --> 01:30:25.380
i knew that yeah yeah that's basically the gist

01:30:25.380 --> 01:30:27.159
of it okay so she gets into this in the next

01:30:27.159 --> 01:30:29.960
episode yeah okay is she like that actually would

01:30:29.960 --> 01:30:31.359
be like you because you can relate to that a

01:30:31.359 --> 01:30:33.560
lot you should talk about that on the next episode

01:30:33.560 --> 01:30:35.800
when we recap that episode i'll talk about it

01:30:35.800 --> 01:30:37.699
because yeah it's actually like a very similar

01:30:37.699 --> 01:30:41.840
thing to what happened with jack's dad so yeah

01:30:41.840 --> 01:30:44.939
i'm also willing we're gonna read this book i've

01:30:44.939 --> 01:30:49.260
decided Yeah, I like Macy. I really do. She was

01:30:49.260 --> 01:30:52.760
my favorite this season. She gets more airtime

01:30:52.760 --> 01:30:56.100
in the later episodes, I feel like. She is just

01:30:56.100 --> 01:30:59.699
such a sweet, perfect angel, but she still lives

01:30:59.699 --> 01:31:02.039
for the drama. Do you feel like she kind of looks

01:31:02.039 --> 01:31:05.779
like Sidney Sweeney? Yeah, I can see that. Okay,

01:31:05.840 --> 01:31:08.140
because I started to see that in this episode,

01:31:08.199 --> 01:31:10.560
and I was like, oh, now I know who she looks

01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:12.199
like. I couldn't put my finger on who she looks

01:31:12.199 --> 01:31:15.449
like. They go to a restaurant. She is actually

01:31:15.449 --> 01:31:18.149
very beautiful. And she doesn't look like the

01:31:18.149 --> 01:31:22.430
rest of them. She does look different from the

01:31:22.430 --> 01:31:24.810
rest of them. She does look like Heather Gay's

01:31:24.810 --> 01:31:28.449
daughters, though. She does. She does look like

01:31:28.449 --> 01:31:30.569
Heather Gay's daughters. And I can tell that

01:31:30.569 --> 01:31:32.729
she has some filler, but she hasn't filled up

01:31:32.729 --> 01:31:34.770
her face. She hasn't overdone it, though. She's

01:31:34.770 --> 01:31:38.960
done work very well. Yeah. Love her. Love, love,

01:31:38.979 --> 01:31:41.619
love Macy. They go to a restaurant called Provisions

01:31:41.619 --> 01:31:43.520
where they've also gone on Real Housewives of

01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:46.060
Salt Lake City. And we will be going there when

01:31:46.060 --> 01:31:48.859
we take the pod to Salt Lake City. We have to.

01:31:51.840 --> 01:31:55.819
I didn't I didn't like Michaela showing up and

01:31:55.819 --> 01:31:58.479
like needing to do the whole song and dance of

01:31:58.479 --> 01:32:00.699
like the seating arrangement game. I hated that.

01:32:01.340 --> 01:32:05.319
I think people who focus so much on seating arrangements

01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:07.239
and who they're going to be next to and across

01:32:07.239 --> 01:32:11.319
from are weird. I think you're weird. I think.

01:32:11.380 --> 01:32:14.800
OK, so like I get if two people are mid fight,

01:32:14.920 --> 01:32:17.539
like they are literally at each other's throats

01:32:17.539 --> 01:32:21.100
and you want to separate them to keep your event

01:32:21.100 --> 01:32:24.939
on track. Yes. To announce your book. Fine. But

01:32:24.939 --> 01:32:28.680
other than that, fucking chill. Well, it's that

01:32:28.680 --> 01:32:34.420
and like. I can't right now in my life. I cannot

01:32:34.420 --> 01:32:36.520
think of one person. If you and I got invited

01:32:36.520 --> 01:32:40.100
to a dinner party and I found out that I was

01:32:40.100 --> 01:32:42.680
sitting next to anyone, I cannot think of one

01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:47.800
person who I'd be sitting next to where I would,

01:32:47.840 --> 01:32:50.180
I would have that reaction. Right. Even if it's

01:32:50.180 --> 01:32:53.220
someone I don't like. Right. Like, because we

01:32:53.220 --> 01:32:55.239
don't care. We've all been in that situation.

01:32:55.359 --> 01:32:59.180
Like the. We have a person in our life who there's

01:32:59.180 --> 01:33:07.000
been a lot of drama with recently and. I he's

01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:10.560
dead to me at this point, but if you sat me next

01:33:10.560 --> 01:33:11.920
to him at a dinner party, I just turn around

01:33:11.920 --> 01:33:14.539
and talk to you. Right. Like it doesn't really

01:33:14.539 --> 01:33:17.539
matter. And like, especially in an event like

01:33:17.539 --> 01:33:20.520
this, where like, you know, your friend is just

01:33:20.520 --> 01:33:24.399
putting this together to announce something like.

01:33:24.989 --> 01:33:28.550
You're not going to have to come up with conversation

01:33:28.550 --> 01:33:31.369
with these people for very long. Like, you're

01:33:31.369 --> 01:33:35.090
here for Macy. Right. So why are you being weird?

01:33:35.369 --> 01:33:40.369
Right. Whitney shows up and the clout conversation

01:33:40.369 --> 01:33:46.310
starts up again. Again. They're all there for

01:33:46.310 --> 01:33:48.850
clout. Right. Every single last one of them.

01:33:48.909 --> 01:33:52.069
Right. Including Taylor. It was started for clout.

01:33:52.109 --> 01:33:58.979
Right. So Whitney, though, I feel like I like

01:33:58.979 --> 01:34:01.880
how she's approaching trying to get back into

01:34:01.880 --> 01:34:03.800
the group where she's not she's not going too

01:34:03.800 --> 01:34:06.399
hard. She does come off a little desperate in

01:34:06.399 --> 01:34:07.760
her confessionals. I'm not going to lie to you.

01:34:07.840 --> 01:34:10.180
She is kissing their feet a little bit, but I

01:34:10.180 --> 01:34:12.539
feel like she has to. Yes. She's kissing the

01:34:12.539 --> 01:34:14.760
ring a little bit. She's like she's friends with

01:34:14.760 --> 01:34:17.119
Taylor. She's friends. She's like, I'm trying

01:34:17.119 --> 01:34:20.119
friendly with everyone. She's not letting really

01:34:20.119 --> 01:34:24.890
any of the conflict. stop her from being nice

01:34:24.890 --> 01:34:27.289
to everyone, which is the right strategy. A hundred

01:34:27.289 --> 01:34:28.810
percent. And so I think she's doing the right

01:34:28.810 --> 01:34:33.270
thing in this scenario. We start to talk about

01:34:33.270 --> 01:34:35.310
the book and then we find out Macy's dad gave

01:34:35.310 --> 01:34:37.649
her a journal when she first found out she was

01:34:37.649 --> 01:34:39.289
pregnant. And this is kind of what sparked the

01:34:39.289 --> 01:34:41.449
whole thing of like, I'm going to write down

01:34:41.449 --> 01:34:42.649
the good days. I'm going to write down the bad

01:34:42.649 --> 01:34:47.659
days and everything in between. And yeah. And

01:34:47.659 --> 01:34:49.659
I think that's kind of cool. And then Taylor

01:34:49.659 --> 01:34:51.979
was super, super supportive, which I really,

01:34:52.000 --> 01:34:53.399
really did like to see because I don't think

01:34:53.399 --> 01:34:55.439
she would have been this person a year ago. No.

01:34:55.939 --> 01:35:00.800
But did you see Demi's fucking face? Yes. So

01:35:00.800 --> 01:35:06.659
Jen gets up to hug to hug Macy and they cut to

01:35:06.659 --> 01:35:11.100
Demi, who is just rolling her eyes and she. She's

01:35:11.100 --> 01:35:15.420
so mad. She's so mad. Keep this in mind as you

01:35:15.420 --> 01:35:19.909
keep watching. how mad she looks. Yes. She is

01:35:19.909 --> 01:35:23.750
so weird. She's not friends with any of these

01:35:23.750 --> 01:35:25.550
people, I'm telling you. Well, the thing that

01:35:25.550 --> 01:35:27.689
I couldn't figure out, is she mad at Jen getting

01:35:27.689 --> 01:35:31.350
up to hug Macy, or is she mad at... She's mad

01:35:31.350 --> 01:35:33.489
that Macy got a book deal. Okay, so... She's

01:35:33.489 --> 01:35:36.050
mad that anyone gets anything that wasn't offered

01:35:36.050 --> 01:35:40.640
to her first. Interesting. OK. OK. Just wait.

01:35:40.840 --> 01:35:44.640
I cannot wait for you to see the fall of Denny.

01:35:44.680 --> 01:35:48.260
I can't wait. So Macy announces that she's also

01:35:48.260 --> 01:35:50.659
doing a celebrity pickleball tournament in Arizona,

01:35:50.739 --> 01:35:55.680
which I have a feeling celebrity is a word we're

01:35:55.680 --> 01:36:00.640
using very loosely. Yeah. It's like on the show,

01:36:00.659 --> 01:36:05.069
like when she does it and. There's another host

01:36:05.069 --> 01:36:06.890
there because she's like hosting it, right? She's

01:36:06.890 --> 01:36:09.670
like announcing. There's another one there who's

01:36:09.670 --> 01:36:12.489
allegedly a celebrity, too. I cannot for the

01:36:12.489 --> 01:36:15.390
life of me. If I recognize who they were, I don't

01:36:15.390 --> 01:36:18.590
remember it, which means they are not a celebrity.

01:36:18.909 --> 01:36:20.729
Well, that has to be coming up in the next episode.

01:36:20.850 --> 01:36:24.029
So I actually like I can't wait for this. And

01:36:24.029 --> 01:36:28.310
then the girls decide to do a truth box because

01:36:28.310 --> 01:36:34.180
they always go over so well. So they all throw

01:36:34.180 --> 01:36:38.020
in their little, like, their little cards. And

01:36:38.020 --> 01:36:40.399
they're all pretty inconsequential until we get

01:36:40.399 --> 01:36:42.939
to Taylor, who opens up the card that says, I

01:36:42.939 --> 01:36:46.420
think Jen is fake. And that's where the episode

01:36:46.420 --> 01:36:51.380
cliffhangs. Right. And I mean, obviously we get

01:36:51.380 --> 01:36:54.460
it. Jen has not been telling the truth to everyone.

01:36:54.600 --> 01:36:59.720
She's kind of spiraling out. Like, I don't know.

01:36:59.760 --> 01:37:03.300
She's like, I don't know. You need to watch the

01:37:03.300 --> 01:37:05.920
next episode because it's just T, T, T, T, T,

01:37:05.920 --> 01:37:09.680
T, T. I can't wait. Well, dear listener, that

01:37:09.680 --> 01:37:12.979
brings us to the end of the episode. Thank you

01:37:12.979 --> 01:37:15.760
for listening. We love you from the United States

01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:19.180
to the United Kingdom to Ireland to hopefully

01:37:19.180 --> 01:37:22.560
Italy soon. Please listen to us in Italy. We

01:37:22.560 --> 01:37:24.579
want to go to Italy. Listen to us in Iceland.

01:37:24.600 --> 01:37:28.000
I really want to go to Iceland really bad. Yeah.

01:37:28.380 --> 01:37:30.750
There's also. I was watching a YouTube video

01:37:30.750 --> 01:37:33.350
about Singapore and their airport. I want to

01:37:33.350 --> 01:37:36.609
visit the Singapore airport really bad. Kenny's

01:37:36.609 --> 01:37:38.789
been wanting to go to Singapore forever. Apparently,

01:37:38.789 --> 01:37:43.390
it's like really cool. A concept is Singapore

01:37:43.390 --> 01:37:46.949
bestie approved. We'll have to see. We'll have

01:37:46.949 --> 01:37:49.149
to see. It kind of gives me the vibes of Dubai,

01:37:49.329 --> 01:37:52.489
which is a topic for another episode. Anyway,
