Speaker 1: I'm Teddy Mellencamp and this is Emily Simpson and you're.
Speaker 2: Listening to popping Off. First thing we need to talk about.
Speaker 2: Did you see the TikTok?
Speaker 1: Wait? Which one?
Speaker 2: Oh, you're like, hold on?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: The one hold off? The one where Taylor is standing
Speaker 2: up and she well, there's been two. The first one
Speaker 2: is her just kind of like doing a dance, but
Speaker 2: she looks a little sad, and she says coming back
Speaker 2: into my twenty twenty two self. And then everyone assumed
Speaker 2: that meant that she and Dakota broke up. But then
Speaker 2: also there was another TikTok that she posted, watching the
Speaker 2: scene of her having the baby on the show, and
Speaker 2: her saying, here's to a new chapter of my life.
Speaker 2: I think it'll be the most challenging yet most rewarding,
Speaker 2: and then she also says it's triggering to watch this season, however,
Speaker 2: I do appreciate seeing my baby being born.
Speaker 1: So you so your takeaway is that she's not with
Speaker 1: Dakota anymore from those vague innu windows.
Speaker 2: Yes, And then all the women are commenting, we got you, Taylor,
Speaker 2: we love you, we care about you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that doesn't make sense that that's what
Speaker 1: happened that they broke up, which I actually I hope
Speaker 1: that they did because I think he's a worm.
Speaker 2: Oh he's worse than a worm with a mustache. Worse.
Speaker 1: Oh he's Oh he's awful.
Speaker 2: He's a booger, eater, disgusting. He can take his one
Speaker 2: box and get the hell out of there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get your PlayStation.
Speaker 2: To get out, get your PlayStation, your Rubik's cube and
Speaker 2: be down. And then he did a TikTok that's like
Speaker 2: trump and it's like, do you have a plan and
Speaker 2: he was like uh, he like mouthed. I'm like stop,
Speaker 2: now you need to stop tiktoking.
Speaker 1: Enough.
Speaker 2: Ugh. So we are recapping the secret lives of Mormon Wives.
Speaker 2: Episode four starts off with the girls driving to Park
Speaker 2: City for Macy's birthday trip. Yay, park City. Have you
Speaker 2: been to Park City? I have been to Park City. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Whitney jokes that she and Taylor are going to have
Speaker 2: a boxing match when they see each other. Everyone's worried
Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of tension. The first
Speaker 2: of the girls arrive at the Giant Pentouse. Many of
Speaker 2: the girls have frustrations with Whitney because she doesn't take accountability. Then,
Speaker 2: of course Whitney brought the matching sweatsuits which they have
Speaker 2: in every color, which I love. We need our own,
Speaker 2: we do, we.
Speaker 1: Need matching outfits when we do this podcast. I feel
Speaker 1: like we should match. We should we at least need
Speaker 1: to plan color schemes. But they found it to be
Speaker 1: thoughtful that she did that. And then the girls go
Speaker 1: in the hot tub for a split.
Speaker 2: Second, like we just need to change it up and
Speaker 2: not have you guys fighting in the closet for a minute.
Speaker 1: So they're like, can you guys pust a bathing suits
Speaker 1: on and just get in the hot tub.
Speaker 2: Just real quick. We want to show how all of
Speaker 2: your extensions hold up after getting wet, So they get
Speaker 2: in there. Then Jen, voicing her frustrations with Zach. She
Speaker 2: says she's a sole breadwinner. She provides for her kids,
Speaker 2: and she's paying for her husband to go to medical school.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's here's my question though, before these moms, because
Speaker 1: all these moms claim to be the breadwinners, before there
Speaker 1: was mom talk, how were they living.
Speaker 2: I mean, if they weren't getting like college, like I mean,
Speaker 2: I think Jen's twenty four years old, so twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: So you're saying that basically they went from college to
Speaker 1: getting married to just putting this mom talk together and
Speaker 1: started making money from doing social media stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: there was no other plan when they got married. That's
Speaker 1: the part I don't understand, Like how you married these
Speaker 1: men and like none of them make money. You're the
Speaker 1: breadwinner by doing stuff on social media.
Speaker 2: Or maybe the husbands quit their jobs in order to
Speaker 2: make you know, videos, videos with them on the interwebs.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm going to go to Shane and just
Speaker 1: suggests that maybe he quits practicing law so that we
Speaker 1: could make ridiculous videos together.
Speaker 2: You know what, It's not a bad job, Like it
Speaker 2: is kind of what I do for living, but Zach
Speaker 2: thinks that it's important because he will be the provider.
Speaker 2: And fifteen years.
Speaker 3: For saying fifteen years, She's like, I gotta make videos
Speaker 3: for fifteen years before there's any income coming from this man,
Speaker 3: like poor thing, Like at least I don't.
Speaker 2: Have to dance in mine, And then males are usually
Speaker 2: the sole provider in the LDS religion, so it's hard
Speaker 2: for Zach to be so untraditional. Jen Oh shit Jin
Speaker 2: forgot her garments on this girl trip, which is a
Speaker 2: big deal for strict Mormons. Yeah, so how she's gonna
Speaker 2: be think she forgot it?
Speaker 1: Do you think she forgot I think she forgot him
Speaker 1: on purpose. She doesn't want to wear that well.
Speaker 2: I mean, garments represent your marriage after going through the temple.
Speaker 2: It's a daily reminder of your dedication to your partner.
Speaker 2: I'm sure Jin forgot her garments, just like I'm forgetting
Speaker 2: to wear a bra right now, like they're probably uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I just think maybe she did it on purpose because
Speaker 1: she didn't want to deal with it on a girl's
Speaker 1: trip with a camera crew.
Speaker 2: I think she did it maybe on purpose so to
Speaker 2: rev zach up.
Speaker 1: But she's scared of him.
Speaker 2: I feel like she is scared of him. But they
Speaker 2: kind of have this like she does shit with the
Speaker 2: group while filming that we know is going to piss him.
Speaker 1: Off, and she's okay doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But also if I had a husband that was
Speaker 2: pissed off because I didn't wear an extra layer of
Speaker 2: clothing underneath my SWEATSUITO. But then the truth box, we
Speaker 2: love we love a game.
Speaker 1: I love a good game. Yeah.
Speaker 2: This was the moment Tom became the mother of mom talk.
Speaker 2: She's hoping they can all be honest with this and
Speaker 2: resolve any tension that may exist. No one is enthusiastic
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: I wonder why.
Speaker 2: I wonder why, because it's about to be some real
Speaker 2: great questions. They change into their matching sweatsuits and begin
Speaker 2: reading anonymous questions. Someone asked why Whitney doesn't like Taylor
Speaker 2: and if she's just jealous of her clout. She says
Speaker 2: she's jealous of the forgiveness that Taylor received after the scandal,
Speaker 2: which she never got after her RSV video. This had
Speaker 2: me taken aback. I didn't expect this is where it
Speaker 2: was going to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mean you felt like that came out of
Speaker 1: left field, Like that wasn't what she was going to say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what how is that Taylor's fault? That
Speaker 2: she was forgiven faster than dancing with your child and
Speaker 2: the nick You.
Speaker 1: Okay, but here's the thing. Of course, Taylor was forgiven
Speaker 1: because people were so intrigued by it.
Speaker 2: Like I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like people necessarily had to forgive Taylor.
Speaker 1: I think they were happy that Taylor gave them that information.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sucked it all up.
Speaker 1: Right, everyone ran with it and it was everywhere. People
Speaker 1: have a hard time getting past how negligent you look
Speaker 1: when you're in a nick you dancing with your baby
Speaker 1: in the background.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, and I don't think that Taylors are that's
Speaker 2: bar behavior common since like I don't know. But then
Speaker 2: someone asked Taylor if she leave Dakota if she found
Speaker 2: out he slept with Jenna after swearing that he didn't.
Speaker 2: She says yes, with no hesitation. Do we think she
Speaker 2: actually would? No?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like that scene right there was foreshadowing
Speaker 1: of something that's supposed to come out later. But we
Speaker 1: all know they're still together, so.
Speaker 2: No, and we all know that Jenna's been posting on
Speaker 2: the gramm h. So we found Jenna. She never responded us.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know why we have no clout.
Speaker 1: We got to start making videos or something.
Speaker 2: Like, what the hell, Jenna, we were going to give
Speaker 2: you your like two minutes of social media fame is
Speaker 2: the wrong word.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because because Teddy got fourteen hundred followers in fourteen days,
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred sorry at least respect Sorry.
Speaker 2: About that, and uh, DEMI asked if she ever said
Speaker 2: jin was too Mormon and Whitney and Macy started giggling
Speaker 2: because they're obviously the ones who told Gin this. Demi
Speaker 2: points out when she said things about Jen it was
Speaker 2: when Whitney and Macy agreed with her. This causes a
Speaker 2: big argument. Then Jin brings up the Demi called Taylor
Speaker 2: white trash, which was to hold to her by Whitney
Speaker 2: as well, that's.
Speaker 1: Way better than to Mormon, Like, are you gonna get
Speaker 1: mad as someone calls you too Mormon? That's like being
Speaker 1: like you, I mean, is that really an insult? I
Speaker 1: mean white trash?
Speaker 2: I mean I call myself WT. Like there's certain things
Speaker 2: like when I order a steak and I'm like, can
Speaker 2: I have it well done? And everyone looks at me
Speaker 2: like with disgust. I'm like, some things you can't change,
Speaker 2: and I'll have the a one sauce too, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have a little white trash. I'm from Ohio,
Speaker 1: I grew up in the country.
Speaker 2: I'm not I wouldn't be offended by it unless it
Speaker 2: was like somebody I wasn't friends with calling me it.
Speaker 2: But I think that's the problem. They weren't actually friends.
Speaker 2: They just are social media people that wanted to get
Speaker 2: more famous. But Demi said she said this because she
Speaker 2: saw Taylor flirting with Brett Rudy Pebble's man at a
Speaker 2: party and going from husband to husband being touchy with everyone.
Speaker 2: Taylor takes a swing at Demi in return, she claims
Speaker 2: that Demi took off her dress in front of Dakota
Speaker 2: to get miked. Demi didn't do this to seduce Dakota,
Speaker 2: but Taylor's not convinced.
Speaker 1: She thinks it's trashy. I don't know what, do you
Speaker 1: think that's the party when she walked out in her bra?
Speaker 1: Or is this another time?
Speaker 2: I guess it happened another time, but then we see
Speaker 2: it later on in the season two. I think this
Speaker 2: is just like Demi likes her way, her tits look
Speaker 2: in her bra, and she's fine to like it's the
Speaker 2: same as a bathing I guess in her opinion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she just likes to flaunt it. She likes
Speaker 1: to show it off.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do I think there was probably a time where
Speaker 2: Taylor was tipsy in front of Brett and probably flirting
Speaker 2: with him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, you're talking about someone that's involved in the
Speaker 1: swinging scandal, so it's not like it's a far reach
Speaker 1: for me. To picture her flirting with other men.
Speaker 2: I also think, you know, if you're pouring cereal into
Speaker 2: your vagina, you probably don't have much to be jealous
Speaker 2: of when it comes to other women. Like, if you're
Speaker 2: willing to take that step.
Speaker 1: You mean you think that she's got her man pretty well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she's got it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like he's not really looking for other areas.
Speaker 2: No, that's not Jen, it's not Zach. I didn't sing Zach, No,
Speaker 2: Matt did. Nobody wants Zack. It's not Zach, it's Bett.
Speaker 1: It's the hotkey, it's the former.
Speaker 2: Everyone wants him. Yeah, the hot.
Speaker 1: Football player eating fruity pebbles, He's the fruit, you know. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's my question. Where do you go from fruity pebbles?
Speaker 1: I mean, she's only in her twenties, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: what's the next That's.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So, like, what's the next step from that? Like, if
Speaker 1: you're going to keep things spicy in your sexual relationship,
Speaker 1: where do you go after fruity pebbles.
Speaker 2: Cocoa pebbles, cennamon to this crunch that sounds so painful? Well,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, the fruity pebbles, Like think about how quickly
Speaker 2: they melt in your mouth, like I know they dissolve
Speaker 2: very quickly. Like how are you going to get that
Speaker 2: all out of there? Especially if you've had to get
Speaker 2: a funnel, yeah, or milk into it, Like we've really
Speaker 2: got to get down. Can you try this and let
Speaker 2: me know how it goes in?
Speaker 1: I feel like I need a tutorial video.
Speaker 2: How to get fruity pebbles in your own prives. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, I'll create one.
Speaker 1: Okay, that'll go viral. You'll get more followers, I promise,
Speaker 1: Just do it.
Speaker 2: Hey, Edwin, Yeah, breddy pebbles in a funnel real quick.
Speaker 2: Just come in here, and maybe a razor blade so
Speaker 2: I can handle some things prior.
Speaker 1: Just don't ask questions, just go along with it.
Speaker 2: Then Whitney asked who her least favorite in the group
Speaker 2: is right now, and she says it's to me. Whitney
Speaker 2: feels like she's been trying to say her truth, but
Speaker 2: dem is lying and trying to drag her into everything.
Speaker 2: The game finally ins, thank God, and Whitney's talking to
Speaker 2: Macy upstairs. She's actually mad at Macy now for not
Speaker 2: sticking up for her. Taylor and to me have a
Speaker 2: conversation in the room they're sharing, Taylor decides she wants
Speaker 2: to sleep alone tonight, so Demi moves rooms. I feel
Speaker 2: like at this point Whitney could punch somebody in the
Speaker 2: face and then get mad at them for hurting her hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, every goal time.
Speaker 2: But we get through it somehow.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you a question. Do you think
Speaker 1: it was the producers that generated the questions? Like, do
Speaker 1: you think they had any idea what the questions were?
Speaker 1: I think a producer just handed in the box and said, here,
Speaker 1: play this game, and they didn't know what the questions were.
Speaker 2: Like, I think they knew the questions. I think they
Speaker 2: use words like cloud. I don't think producers would really Yeah,
Speaker 2: but maybe who knows, it could have been producers who
Speaker 2: produces this show. Let's find out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But then the next morning, the girls get ready to
Speaker 2: make their tiktoks together as one would, they film in
Speaker 2: their matching sweatsuits, and then Taylor decides to pull Whitney
Speaker 2: away to have a conversation. I love it. They're like,
Speaker 2: after work, we can have a real conversation, right.
Speaker 1: But get we gotta get this nailed. We first, first
Speaker 1: and then at your get your lip syncing down, do
Speaker 1: it again?
Speaker 2: That's not right again again. Whitney's obviously nervous, and she
Speaker 2: asked Taylor not to punch her. Oh it's Jeff Jenkins productions. Oh,
Speaker 2: I think we know who that person is. We know
Speaker 2: a Jeff Jenkins. I think we do. Then, Whitney claims
Speaker 2: she tried cultivating cultivating a relationship with Taylor after the
Speaker 2: swinging scandal, but it wasn't reciprocated Whitney's I mean, it's
Speaker 2: like Taylor had some shit she had to deal with.
Speaker 2: She had to get divorced, she had to move to
Speaker 2: Coda in with his one box a red flat, but
Speaker 2: there were a shit that had to happen his one box.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing over that.
Speaker 2: And then she hasn't received the same hype as Taylor,
Speaker 2: so she's comparing. Whitney told me that the purpose behind
Speaker 2: making the RSV video was for sympathy, lights and clout.
Speaker 2: Whitney admitted this to her after she and Deme did
Speaker 2: ketamine together for therapy purposes.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, is it like a true serum?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I had we do it together? Do
Speaker 2: we do a ketamine pod. We should do a.
Speaker 1: Kenmine pod and see what happens.
Speaker 2: Ketamine is used to cure anxiety and depression, so maybe
Speaker 2: it would help me, Like maybe I wouldn't be so
Speaker 2: red and anxious today if I was on ketamine this moment.
Speaker 1: I feel like it could be a good thing.
Speaker 2: Can we just I mean, I want to point out
Speaker 2: something else that just so we can have a little
Speaker 2: reference to this. These women got famous by doing dances
Speaker 2: on TikTok. Yes, Like, what is the world we live
Speaker 2: in right now? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like the huck to a girl. That girl's got
Speaker 1: like hop bill hook too. That's all she said. And
Speaker 1: she has like millions of followers, And I don't know
Speaker 1: what else is she doing.
Speaker 2: I don't know she now she has her own podcast
Speaker 2: Talk two. Something I saw her on like late night shows,
Speaker 2: Red Green Tomato. She thought, that's how the New York
Speaker 2: song went. It's just a lot for me, but then
Speaker 2: to me. Decides to join the conver between Whitney and
Speaker 2: Taylor so she can set the record straight since Whitney's
Speaker 2: obviously not telling the full truth. Whitney doesn't feel like
Speaker 2: Taylor cares about her, but she doesn't want things to change,
Speaker 2: She'd rather just leave them as they are.
Speaker 1: Not a mature take on that.
Speaker 2: But Whitney saying she doesn't care enough to remedy things
Speaker 2: yet to me reminds her she cares enough to talk
Speaker 2: shit behind everyone's back. Good, point to me, to me, point,
Speaker 2: Then to me tells Whitney that she's a shitty friend.
Speaker 2: So Whitney tells her not to be her friend. Then
Speaker 2: Whitney like really does run away from every situation. Then
Speaker 2: Whitney starts to cry and removes herself from the conversation.
Speaker 2: Whitney's sobbing in the closet, A few girls go to
Speaker 2: comfort her. I didn't pay attention to which ones. I
Speaker 2: don't know if they were the saints or the sinners.
Speaker 1: Don't you hate it when someone causes problems and gaslights
Speaker 1: everyone and then runs away sobbing and then expects everyone
Speaker 1: to come to them and apologize and console them. I
Speaker 1: feel like that that's what she does every time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then she's late to the dinner, and then
Speaker 2: she has to be the one to cry to producers,
Speaker 2: and then she has to be the one that brings
Speaker 2: the cake. It's like Whitney you're exhausting. But Demi wasn't
Speaker 2: finished talking to Whitney, so she decides to confront her again.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't good timing. I don't think she
Speaker 2: can handle it. Then Macy and Jenn are sticking up
Speaker 2: for Whitney, telling dem she needs to leave. Demi calls
Speaker 2: it a minion fest and a Chihuahua fest with the
Speaker 2: three of them, Jesse agrees with dem Whitney gets close
Speaker 2: to people so she can use them for information, then
Speaker 2: talks about everyone behind their backs. Whitney doesn't know what's
Speaker 2: right or what's wrong anymore. Let me help you, Whitney.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody else is right and everyone else is right.
Speaker 2: It's really very simple.
Speaker 1: It's very black and white at this point.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Now come on the pod and we'll give
Speaker 2: you more of our opinions. Hot takes. Now, Whitney's sobbing
Speaker 2: to Macy again in the room that they share. Whitney
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be anyone's friend because of what Jesse said.
Speaker 2: Everyone arrives to Macy's birthday dinner. All the girls managed
Speaker 2: to push the drama aside, then ensued that day. Besides Whitney,
Speaker 2: who's silently crying at the table in another unfortunate outfit.
Speaker 2: Then she leaves to go set. She had to go potty,
Speaker 2: but then she was really just crying to producers.
Speaker 1: But then she came out with the cake. She here,
Speaker 1: this is a timing thing. She went in the bathroom
Speaker 1: to cry, and as she was coming out of the bathroom,
Speaker 1: she saw them getting the cake ready, so she grabbed
Speaker 1: it out of someone's hand I'm sure and was like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back and enter the scene carrying
Speaker 1: the cake. That was just timing, and it worked out
Speaker 1: for her. It worked out for her. But then they
Speaker 1: started to sing Happy Birthday. Then of course the.
Speaker 2: Cameraman can't forget to show the piece of paper on
Speaker 2: her shoe.
Speaker 1: I love cameraman, They're the best.
Speaker 2: And then Whitney says she just doesn't know if these
Speaker 2: friendships are worth fighting for and if this is what
Speaker 2: mom talk is turning into, she doesn't want to be
Speaker 2: a part of it. I'm like, I thought you were
Speaker 2: the leader of mom talk. Don't you set the tone?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, she's constantly saying she wants to be the
Speaker 1: queen bee of mom talk, while saying she's not interested
Speaker 1: in being a part of mom talk.
Speaker 2: She makes no sense. Make it make sense, Whitney, come
Speaker 2: on and talk to us about it. Come on, come on,
Speaker 2: come on in. But we will keep on watching, we'll
Speaker 2: keep on researching, we'll keep on searching our TikTok scrounging
Speaker 2: for information so that we have any hot deeds to share.
Speaker 1: Right, And if any of you guys out there have information,
Speaker 1: because I have people DM me and they send me stuff.
Speaker 1: I love it. So if you have any information, please
Speaker 1: feel free to dm us because we love to hear it.
Speaker 2: Oh and I think her name was Andrea that sent
Speaker 2: me the picture of all the different haircuts and styles
Speaker 2: that Whitney's husband has had. I appreciate that it was.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Thank you all right, Thanks guys for tuning in.
Speaker 1: Thanks as Jack children,
