Speaker 3 (0:02) Sup, gigglers. Speaker 1 (0:03) Gary, fix the Wi-Fi. Speaker 3 (0:05) Manifest that shit. Speaker 1 (0:06) We can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me. Speaker 3 (0:15) What's up, my granola gigglers? That's a Speaker 2 (0:18) good one. I hear a dog in the background barking. Are you okay? No, am I ever? Are you under attack? Probably. I'm like, is he right there? No, he's not. He's downstairs. What Speaker 3 (0:30) makes him bark? Like, what are the things that get him going? Speaker 2 (0:33) Oh, God. People in hats. Which is very you coded. He's like, I hate that hat. I hate that hat. Don't. Wear a hat around this guy. Take Speaker 3 (0:44) off that hat. Speaker 2 (0:45) People running swiftly. Any type of commotion, really. People with guns. Horses. Who has he run into with guns? On the TV. Oh, he hates the TV. Hates the TV. Anytime there's a ball on the TV and not in his mouth, upset. So you get why Kitty beats the shit out of him. How are you? I'm good. Every time we get on the pod, I'm like, I haven't talked to you in so long. I literally. That was Butter. Speaker 3 (1:15) Do you know why she did that? Because I ordered sushi and it came right when Paige was like, I'm ready to eat. And my sushi is just going to be sitting here the whole pod. And Butter knows something. And she's not food motivated. Speaker 2 (1:29) Don't take. Don't. Speaker 2 (1:33) don't take a phrase I say off the pod and then use it on the pod. Me and Daphne were at a shoot today and they were like, oh my God, she's so well behaved. And I said, because she's not food motivated. And Hannah turned around and said, you could never tell by looking at her. And then we pressed record. And I said, I am a little, Speaker 3 (1:55) I don't want to say jealous because I support women in the arts. Totally. I'm original cat girl. Yes. You are the face of Fancy Feast. Yeah. Sierra just came out. Jasper is the star. And let me say, Sierra is also OG cat girl. That's how Sierra and I initially connected, which granted they cut a lot from Summer House, but that was one thing I was like, I get it. You don't need 45 minutes of us talking about our cat. Right. Speaker 2 (2:25) So Speaker 3 (2:25) I respect that. Jasper's starring in a campaign, which I'm so proud of him for. He deserves it. He's gorgeous. He's putting the work. Speaking of the Speaker 2 (2:33) little devil. Speaker 3 (2:35) Butter, if you're watching YouTube, she's here. Butter, do you realize other cats are putting in hours? They're responding to emails. They're listening to what people say. And actually, they're a pleasant, pleasant person to be around Speaker 2 (2:49) on the job. Daphne might want to go to an Ivy League. She needs to save her money. Speaker 3 (2:55) No one's ever said you're pleasant to work with, Butter, because you're not. And you're only good around me and no one else. But if that's, you know what, some... Cats aren't made for stardom. And that's totally fine. But she's so beautiful and people forget that every day. She looks like Cindy Crawford. That's Cindy Crawford. Speaker 2 (3:13) Wait, aw. Wait, how sad that Cindy Crawford's son died. He was only 27. It like really affected me when I heard it. Speaker 3 (3:22) I think it's because like. I was going to say he's our age, but he's not. No, when people who pass who are younger than you, it's really fucked up. Speaker 2 (3:33) Yeah, and I just feel like him being in rehab, it's like that's even sadder because his family was probably like... okay, he's getting the help he needs. Like, it's only up from here. And that I just, I can't, I couldn't imagine that. And also, like, I couldn't, I can't imagine losing your only sibling at such a young age. And she's younger than him, I think. You Speaker 3 (3:59) know, I think it's because both of us, we have one brother. Speaker 2 (4:01) Yeah. Speaker 3 (4:02) And he would speak up a lot about mental health. So, like. I loved everything he was doing. Yeah. Knowing that he was going through something. So yeah, it's just really fucked up. It's really fucked up and really sad. There's no way to transition. How Speaker 2 (4:19) about we stay medical and I'll do a little UTI update. Oh. The gigglers are always looking out for me. They're always tagging me in like new innovation for UTIs and all this stuff. And I haven't said anything because I didn't want to jinx myself. But next month, I'm one year of no UTIs. Speaker 3 (4:39) Do you think it was a was there a psychic that you spoke to or was there like a little did you cut a cord or put something in a fridge? What do you think it is? Speaker 2 (4:47) I think my own intuition was rejecting every man I've ever been with one. I think my body was like, no, not him. We'll let you know. No, not him. Definitely not him. We'll let you know. But then also I went to my doctor, my kinesiologist, who I don't know if I've said his name before on the pod, but like honestly, I kind of want to gatekeep him because I'm like, no, you just have to put in the work. I found him 10 years ago. Like this is, I'm not trying to lose appointments. But he put me on two supplements that just like, that honestly I don't even still take. What are they? One was like a. a cranberry supplement but it was like double what the normal i think cranberry supplement is and then the other one was oregano honey i said my Speaker 3 (5:37) mom could have cured this 20 years ago low-key when he said that to you you were like oh you saw my last name was a sore bone now you're giving me oregano is Speaker 2 (5:46) this a joke is this a joke to you he was like put a bay leaf in it like it'll fix it no Speaker 3 (5:52) he's like Speaker 2 (5:52) did you sprinkle some parmesan on your get out Speaker 3 (5:54) of here Speaker 2 (5:55) Truly, I know I say this a lot, but it's truly life changing. Well, Speaker 3 (5:59) yeah, you were you had chronic pain. It was debilitating. Speaker 2 (6:02) And also not even like when you were getting one. It's the anticipation of like when you're going. So like every time I traveled and I was like away from home, I was like, OK, I got to make sure I have all my UTI stuff. just in case one strikes. The only time I ever feel like a little hankering of a UTI is when I'm dehydrated. Speaker 3 (6:27) Or whenever you don't want to go somewhere. I get a text and she goes, I feel like Speaker 2 (6:33) coming on. I feel it might be Speaker 3 (6:34) coming Speaker 2 (6:34) on in the next year or Speaker 3 (6:36) two. Speaker 2 (6:36) My mom made me stop drinking my Stanley because she said it's bad for me because your body is not supposed to drink anything cold. And so she's like, stop drinking your Stanley. Drink room temperature water. And room temperature water is so gross. So honestly, I'm dehydrated all the time now. Well, Speaker 3 (6:54) you can still drink from your Stanley. Just don't put ice in it. That's what I do. But not because I'm not drinking. It's because I don't. Honestly, because my freezer's broken. Speaker 2 (7:04) I feel like I can't fill up my Stanley and not put ice in it. Speaker 3 (7:07) I've put ice in my Stanley like three times Speaker 2 (7:09) and it was too heavy. It does get really heavy. Speaker 3 (7:12) Also, if Speaker 2 (7:12) you're Speaker 3 (7:12) not drinking from your Stanley and then you can't drink from Speaker 2 (7:14) plastic because of microplastics or whatever, Speaker 3 (7:17) macroplastics, all the plastics. Speaker 2 (7:21) Then where are we supposed to drink from? The faucet like Taylor Frankie Paul? Speaker 2 (7:30) No, the girls are going through it. Speaker 3 (7:32) Everyone's mad that we said we were going to talk about the Mormon housewives and we didn't. I finished it. Do you have any other thoughts besides the sweatpants? Apparently she's out. Michaela's out. Speaker 2 (7:43) I knew Michaela was out. I didn't know Taylor Frankie Paul's out. The Speaker 3 (7:47) Mormons are dropping like flies. But also, I don't trust anything right now. This is like... they don't know what they're doing yet with the show. Was Speaker 2 (7:56) it you that told me that Taylor Frankie's Paul's mom was on the internet? She's doing full episode Speaker 3 (8:04) reviews being like, Taylor, are you for real? Are you for real, Taylor? Are you feeling Speaker 2 (8:10) for real? Until TikTok became a thing, there's so many phrases and like situations that you've just like never heard of. And like, I always see the phrase like, oh, your mom was your first bully. Or like, oh, this person's mom was their first bully, which is such a foreign concept to me because I couldn't imagine having that relationship with my mother. But I think that they're kind of a great example of it. Like any episode I've watched with the mom with Taylor, I'm... There's so many times where I've wanted to go through the screen and be like, wait, but that's your daughter. Like, not that I have kids. I don't have to go that hard. But I know for a fact if my child did the worst thing imaginable. I'm still on their side. That's my child. The Speaker 3 (8:58) first scene is her being like, mom, I have to take a pregnancy test. And the mom is so mad. And like, even just to say the word disappointed, like fine, be disappointed as a parent, but to look your daughter and I'd be like, I'm disappointed in you. Also. Cause we learned that Taylor's mom was in her own like abusive relationship. And I think she's seeing it again with Taylor. So there's honestly, the truth is. This show is so good because it's so real. Speaker 2 (9:27) They Speaker 3 (9:27) plucked these girls from Speaker 2 (9:29) TikTok. They were just a chaotic friend group, plus some added people for casting. Speaker 3 (9:34) And it's raw. These people are not, you know, never claimed to be mentally healthy. Yeah, everyone combusted. Everyone spontaneously combusted. She is the victim of serious religious trauma. I mean, even Macy, she got pregnant. At like 19. And instead of like the shame she must have felt. And then the trauma of losing him. Also, everyone's getting married. Everyone's pregnant. How can you think straight when you're always pregnant? Speaker 2 (10:04) And then Michaela, who was abused and then got pregnant at 16. It's like, OK, wait, but you're you're you were still a child then. Yeah. And then Jen and her husband is Speaker 3 (10:14) 26 Speaker 2 (10:14) right Speaker 3 (10:15) now. Speaker 2 (10:15) Now Speaker 3 (10:16) her brain Speaker 2 (10:17) just fully formed. She woke up and she's like, where am I? people are really mad at jen for this past season for multiple reasons and as someone who doesn't know jen and is not in their friend group i think i we can like see different things as the viewer one she's in she's Speaker 3 (10:38) in she Speaker 2 (10:39) got her Speaker 3 (10:39) pink back I got my pink back, pink back, pink back. Speaker 2 (10:46) Like she's obviously so visibly jealous of Whitney. She wants to be doing the things that Whitney is doing. But she Speaker 3 (10:52) was so complimentary of her. She didn't want shader. Speaker 2 (10:55) Yeah, but she was like picking a fight with her. Whatever. Then that could be just like producers being like, but don't you still have beef with her? Like we need a storyline type of vibe. I just think it's so important to recognize people in your friend group who genuinely hate their lives because it impacts. And I feel like I've called you so many times after being on the phone with a friend and like said to you things they've said to me. And you've said back to me like, OK, but she hates her life. Like. her like you know like she's not happy so like how could she be happy for you type of vibe that's Speaker 3 (11:33) when i say baby i have empathy for them jen Speaker 2 (11:36) is a classic case of she was sold this idea of what her life was going to be when she was like 20 fucking one and now she's 26 she's four kids deep yeah how is she digging herself out of that hole to like Have a different life that she clearly wants. Speaker 3 (11:52) It's also so fascinating because all these women got what they wanted, which was the money and the power. But then like the society around them, especially in Mormonville, hasn't figured out. I'm kind of like, guys, move out of Utah. Speaker 2 (12:06) Well, I think it's inappropriate that all of their husbands stopped working. And Speaker 3 (12:10) then bought a Cybertruck. And then complained. Like Speaker 2 (12:14) you can be rich enough that your spouse doesn't have to work. But like. Unless you're taking care of the kids full time, babe, aren't you bored? Like what? I don't think Speaker 3 (12:25) Connor complains about taking care of the kids. I hate when the men complain about taking care of the kids. Speaker 2 (12:31) No, but he seems like someone who thought about being a stay-at-home dad before it was possible. Speaker 3 (12:36) Yeah. Where like when Zach was like, I'm exhausted. This is how he talks. I'm exhausted, Jen. I was with the kids for two full days. And I let you go on Dancing with the Stars and delivered. And then you want to have sex with every action. Speaker 2 (12:50) The phrase let you coming from a man. No, I'll spontaneously combust. I
