Speaker 1: or will this group fall from grace. Do yourselves a favor,
Speaker 1: y'all and go to hashtag mom talk.

Speaker 1: we're going to bring on these two ladies, and then
Speaker 1: we're going to watch the show right along with you guys.
Speaker 1: For those that don't have time to spend endless hours
Speaker 1: on TikTok like I did.
Speaker 3: Actually, if you go to Reddit, they do like a
Speaker 3: nice breakdown there. Oh perfect, Yeah, if you want the
Speaker 3: if you want the cliff notes, there's some nice just
Speaker 3: you know, like bull points on Reddit where you can
Speaker 3: just get a brief synopsis so you're ready.
Speaker 2: For the show.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then obviously you have to keep tuning in here.
Speaker 1: But let's let's bring in Macy and MICHAELA. Macy is

Speaker 1: She's also a founder of a natal nutrition company. Additionally,
Speaker 1: the twenty year old wife has two kids and a
Speaker 1: blended family with husband Jacob, and is currently on an
Speaker 1: IVF journey to expand her family. She has one million
Speaker 1: TikTok followers, and we've got Mikayla. Former teen mom. Mikayla
Speaker 1: Matthews twenty four says, the show really gets to the
Speaker 1: raw things that we are going through. We wanted to
Speaker 1: show the different sides to the religion. Ads Matthews, who
Speaker 1: is now married with three kids to husband Jayce. She
Speaker 1: has two point four million ticure callers.
Speaker 2: Are you on TikTok? I'm not even on TikTok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't even talk about
Speaker 1: what our TikTok company?
Speaker 3: Well minor zero because I'm not on TikTok. I can't
Speaker 3: do TikTok. Oh, I have thousand Damn Teddy. They should
Speaker 3: be interviewing us, not the other way around.
Speaker 1: Thank god we have a lot of listeners on this podcast,
Speaker 1: because that's really where we thrive. Apparently, I think we
Speaker 1: may have aged out from the TikTok you know phenomenon.
Speaker 1: But let's bring the girls in and start grilling.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 1: I oh, of course we all are together, all right. Well,
Speaker 1: the first thing we need to go through is can
Speaker 1: you please tell us how mom Talk got started? And
Speaker 1: would you give all the credit to Taylor.
Speaker 5: Oh no, I would not give all the credit to Taylor. Yeah. No,
Speaker 5: So we all had most of us had social followings
Speaker 5: going into it. I think you had like two million
Speaker 5: followers on TikTok. I think I had like one point
Speaker 5: two million. And we kind of found each other through
Speaker 5: TikTok and social media, so I think we were all
Speaker 5: mutually following each other. And so then it was like, hey,
Speaker 5: like let's do some collaborations type thing, and then we
Speaker 5: all just decided to get together as moms and make
Speaker 5: videos together, which was really fun. It turned into like
Speaker 5: mom talk.
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting. I thought you guys knew each other
Speaker 1: and then started mom Talk, but now you all found
Speaker 1: each other as influencers and that you guys also.
Speaker 3: So so are you geographically all close to each other
Speaker 3: in Utah? I used to live in Utah for five years,
Speaker 3: so I know the area.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're always in like forty five minutes I would
Speaker 5: say each other. And we were also friends before mom
Speaker 5: Talk started, but like through social media. So we met
Speaker 5: like on social media in twenty twenty and became friends
Speaker 5: and then like we ended up doing mom talk together.
Speaker 1: And then when did mom talk kind of explode.
Speaker 4: After the soft Swing scandal, I would see.
Speaker 5: I mean I started blowing up beforehand, like giving millions
Speaker 5: of us because it was just kind of out there
Speaker 5: and a little controversial.
Speaker 4: And then once the scandal happened, like it was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like all over.
Speaker 3: Was Taylor the for the scandal to get out there?
Speaker 3: I don't know a lot of the background. So was
Speaker 3: she the reason?
Speaker 2: Was it her?
Speaker 5: She? She was, yes, like she was the one who
Speaker 5: kind of exposed the swinging scandal. But before that, apparently
Speaker 5: there was rumors going on like all over online so
Speaker 5: that she was cheating, and she's like, that's actually not true,
Speaker 5: Like this is what was going on with everyone, Like
Speaker 5: if you're gonna expose me, I'm gonna expose everything kind
Speaker 5: of thing.
Speaker 2: So were you guys? Were you blindsided by that?
Speaker 5: Not really? I had a whole theory, like when we
Speaker 5: were all friends. It's like I feel like she might
Speaker 5: be a swinger, like her and a couple of other girls.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I have like some weird vibes, like I
Speaker 5: have a phone she might be a swinger. But it's like,
Speaker 5: don't tell anyone because it's kind of like a big accusation.
Speaker 5: So it's just a theory, and then when it came out,
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my gosh, that's right.
Speaker 1: So you guys are not soft swingers.
Speaker 5: No, they'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean these can you give us before we
Speaker 1: even continue on? Can we go through a couple of
Speaker 1: vocabulary wars that I've learned? Well, one, Emily is married
Speaker 1: to somebody that's LDS.
Speaker 2: But I'm not, she's not.
Speaker 1: But these are some things that I've learned. I want
Speaker 1: to know if they're true or false in the Mormon community. Okay,
Speaker 1: soaking and what's the definition?
Speaker 5: Oh? Soaking?
Speaker 1: Ill?
Speaker 5: We talked about this on the show to a whole
Speaker 5: in depth.
Speaker 6: I feel like there's so much with like the soft swinging,
Speaker 6: even behind the scenes, that no one knows even though
Speaker 6: it was all I mean, it was out there on
Speaker 6: every news article, but.
Speaker 5: There's just so much that even I was shocked to
Speaker 5: find out soaking is Mormon being from what I know
Speaker 5: that happened at BYU frequently because it's like there's this
Speaker 5: honor code and like you can't have sex before marriage,
Speaker 5: you can't do anything besides kissing before marriage, and like
Speaker 5: there's other rules obviously there and so I think soaking
Speaker 5: is a way for people to get around those rules,
Speaker 5: but in reality, it's not really getting around it. It's
Speaker 5: kind of like a big joke, but it also apparently
Speaker 5: it's true.
Speaker 3: But I wait, I need I need more details to
Speaker 3: a Mormon. But give me, like an example.
Speaker 5: You can give an example, Like, just give me an example.
Speaker 6: I feel like we're the worst people because we actually
Speaker 6: just have sex and then got Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, okay. Soaking is like where a guy puts it
Speaker 5: in but doesn't do anything. It just like it.
Speaker 2: Marinates, so there's penetration, but no thrusting.
Speaker 1: So there's no penetration, there's just entrance and then it
Speaker 1: has to sit there still that just cannot move. Which
Speaker 1: this brings me to my next vocabulary word, which I
Speaker 1: could have wrong, but I think it's bed hopping.
Speaker 5: Docking.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, where that somebody jumps on the bed.
Speaker 5: So then then that's shaking the bed.
Speaker 1: Let's get into shaking the bed and then docking.
Speaker 5: Okay, so shaking the bed is for people who are
Speaker 5: soaking and then they have a friend shake the bed.
Speaker 5: So the guy's not physically moving, but the bed is
Speaker 5: so that there's like movement.
Speaker 2: No, you know what I mean, this is crazy. Who
Speaker 2: comes up with this?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: It's like.
Speaker 3: There's so many people involved in this situation.
Speaker 2: I can't even picture.
Speaker 5: Like how I'm comfortable. I be like, hey, like, can
Speaker 5: you come over for me? My friend is soak and
Speaker 5: just like shake the bed.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But my stepdaughter just graduated from b YU, so I
Speaker 3: feel like I need to need to ask her.
Speaker 2: I need to ask her some questions.
Speaker 5: There's probably more terms now oft YU. Now I'm out
Speaker 5: of the loop because I've graduated a while ago, but
Speaker 5: I bet there's more going on now, more terms, so
Speaker 5: would be all right?
Speaker 1: Now we need to know what docking is. Clearly, I
Speaker 1: actually don't know what that is.
Speaker 5: I thought that why did you expose them? I have
Speaker 5: to explain with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see, y'all's game now between the two of you,
Speaker 1: like one of you is kind of playing the more
Speaker 1: demure like I'm not gonna know.
Speaker 5: I know, I just drop the bombs.
Speaker 1: I'm like, docky, that's so good. I'll shake the bed
Speaker 1: for you anytime, Emily.
Speaker 2: You just have to wake me up.
Speaker 5: Okay, Docking okay, so oh gosh, So how do I
Speaker 5: explain this? So docking is like, can't imagine like a
Speaker 5: hot dog bun and like a hot dog, right she's
Speaker 5: sitting on the top, but it's not going in. It's
Speaker 5: just like sitting on the top right there.
Speaker 3: Oh, like like when you dock your cell phone. I guess,
Speaker 3: so it's called docking.
Speaker 1: I mean, can it not be just called like dry.
Speaker 3: Humping, because that's moving when you move.
Speaker 5: Naked?
Speaker 1: Oh, so you're just resting.
Speaker 5: They're resting on the top kind of thing like inside
Speaker 5: a little bit, but not like in like not like penetrated.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean this is so do you have to use
Speaker 1: a condom for this type of.
Speaker 2: Thing or is it?
Speaker 5: I don't think that it's getting near the.
Speaker 1: Any other keywords that we're missing so far.
Speaker 5: Gazing you heard?
Speaker 1: No, what's that?
Speaker 2: It's exciting?
Speaker 5: I wish I was looking into each other eyes. Apparently.
Speaker 5: Gazing is like you go to a party and like
Speaker 5: people are all naked and you just like look at
Speaker 5: each other, but you can't touch, you can't do anything.
Speaker 5: It's just like you're gazing. That's weird. Yeah, these are
Speaker 5: all things I heard before BYU, but I never experienced
Speaker 5: any of these at BAU Thankfully, but I also like
Speaker 5: was having sex, so I mean like I was going
Speaker 5: all the way, I wasn't really trying to get around
Speaker 5: the loophole here.
Speaker 3: Do you think any of this stuff is more of
Speaker 3: like an urban legend or do you actually think it happens?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I think no, it totally happens, really, Okay.
Speaker 5: Even if you see those people who like interview students
Speaker 5: at YU and stuff like what's the crazy thing you
Speaker 5: ever done? Like I shook to bed for someone like
Speaker 5: something like that, So it definitely still happens. I think
Speaker 5: it's because kids are horny, like they want to have sex,
Speaker 5: but they don't want to have like their repercussion, so
Speaker 5: they think that this is like better, and it's like
Speaker 5: they're not actually having sex, you know.
Speaker 3: So they're trying to come up with every possible way
Speaker 3: to actually have sex without having sex.
Speaker 1: Or so this is a disagreement that my husband and
Speaker 1: I have, like cold really because I don't consider oral
Speaker 1: sex sex. I'm like, I wouldn't put that in my
Speaker 1: number count. It's like for me, it's like sex is sex.
Speaker 1: He considers oral sex sex. What is is oral sex?
Speaker 1: Off limits? Too? And it okay, it's.
Speaker 5: Like anything past like making out is like, you can't
Speaker 5: do that?
Speaker 1: Do you guys? Drink?
Speaker 5: No? I mean I used to in college, have not recently.
Speaker 5: I had a little wild girl face in college, so
Speaker 5: I have done things, but not anymore.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So are you two? Are you actual members of the
Speaker 2: Mormon Church? Both of you? I am so, Macy you're not.
Speaker 5: No, So I am. I'm an active member.
Speaker 2: Okay, So but Kayla's not. Okay.
Speaker 6: I haven't been practicing since I was like fifteen and
Speaker 6: I'm twenty four now.
Speaker 1: So how many girls on the show are active members?
Speaker 5: I think there's only two that aren't. So seven? Oh no,
Speaker 5: there's eight? Six?
Speaker 2: So what at six are I'm sorry? Six are active members?
Speaker 2: Six are? Okay?
Speaker 1: And there's eight of you guys on the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how many, allegedly, would you say soft swing?
Speaker 5: Only one? I think out of the eight, right that
Speaker 5: I know of, I mean less, there's more tea we
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like I can see something in Mikhayla's eyes
Speaker 1: that she's not fully opening up about.
Speaker 5: Her assassin, Like she like will remember everything, which like
Speaker 5: keeps it in and then she's like drop it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah I do that too.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: I call myself a sniper where you just kind of love.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: So another big other than the soft swinging. So you
Speaker 1: guys can easily find this. We talked about it on
Speaker 1: Reddit or on mom talk or anything, but this group
Speaker 1: of now we know influencers came friends. They all started
Speaker 1: hanging out. What I've learned about the soft swinging is
Speaker 1: it's fine as long as your partner knows it's happening.
Speaker 1: But once it's crossed the line that your partner doesn't
Speaker 1: know it's happening, that's where then it becomes the issue.
Speaker 1: Is that accurate?
Speaker 5: That's good.
Speaker 6: Maybe people have their own rules. I mean, I've never
Speaker 6: I don't know what the rules are of soft swinging. Yeah, no,
Speaker 6: I don't know either, I think. But basically what you
Speaker 6: said is similar to what Taylor told us.
Speaker 5: It was like it was kind of like if you
Speaker 5: were in agreement with your husband and you were like together,
Speaker 5: Like you couldn't go right off with the guy and
Speaker 5: you justuff alone in the room, but they were like
Speaker 5: all together and whatever that it was fine, but like
Speaker 5: you couldn't do stuff that your partner didn't know about.
Speaker 5: From what I understood, so.
Speaker 1: Taylor's gotten a lot of the press stuff, not only
Speaker 1: from the soft swinging, and then she got the divorce
Speaker 1: and now she's with the new guy, and then we
Speaker 1: saw that maybe she was I don't know if she
Speaker 1: was arrested or something along those lines, because there was
Speaker 1: some sort of disagreement in the home, some sort of
Speaker 1: domestic occurrence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she was arrested.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's on the show.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think social media only taps into a little
Speaker 6: bit of that, and even like the news articles tap
Speaker 6: into a little bit of that.
Speaker 5: But then it kind of shows the other.
Speaker 6: Side of her dealing with it, our for our group
Speaker 6: kind of dealing with it, and yeah, just the more wrong.
Speaker 3: Wait, can I just ask a timeline question. Was she
Speaker 3: arrested while you were filming or are you just retroactively
Speaker 3: going back and talking about.
Speaker 5: It before we started filming?
Speaker 3: Okay, so then when you guys get to when you
Speaker 3: talk about that, you're talking about you're just going back
Speaker 3: and talking about it, right, Yeah, Okay, so it didn't
Speaker 3: happen in real time while you were filming.
Speaker 1: No, are you guys friends with her?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're all friends, I would say, all the well,
Speaker 5: not everyone in the group is still friends.
Speaker 1: Are you friends with Whitney from Saul Lake.
Speaker 2: Is that what you're asking?
Speaker 1: No, but no, Whitney though she's the one who she
Speaker 1: had one of her children, was in the nick You,
Speaker 1: but she put did a TikTok Oh dance video.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say we're all friends.
Speaker 6: I think some of us are closer than others, and
Speaker 6: I think the show definitely tested a lot of.
Speaker 4: Our relationships and friendships, so some of that unfolds.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you'll have to wait and see how that one
Speaker 5: plays out. Because the friendship thing got sticky with all
Speaker 5: of us.
Speaker 3: I would say, do you think it's gonna get even
Speaker 3: stickier after the episode's air? Like, I don't know the format,
Speaker 3: but obviously with Housewives, we get to see things later
Speaker 3: that were filmed that we're not aware of. So you know,
Speaker 3: you you come out of filming Housewives and you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: we're all friends, and then you watch the episodes and
Speaker 3: you end up all hating each other. So is that
Speaker 3: kind of the premise of this.
Speaker 6: I think maybe we might have worked things out, and
Speaker 6: then maybe watching it again it'll kind of spark those
Speaker 6: same feelings. So I think we're all gonna go through
Speaker 6: it again for sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I think you're seeing people in their personal interviews. Right,
Speaker 5: we'll see people in their personal interviews. Yeah, maybe you're
Speaker 5: gonna be like, wait, that's not what you said to me.
Speaker 5: I think that's where we might have some issues. Nice
Speaker 5: assume that there will be some issues once it comes out.
Speaker 6: I think it's hard to get eight women together not
Speaker 6: have a little bit of I mean when we had
Speaker 6: a lot of our overnights and birthday trips, I feel
Speaker 6: like I felt like I was with my sisters and
Speaker 6: I was arguing with my sisters again.
Speaker 5: And our periods were all sinking too, were like hungry
Speaker 5: together seeking period. It is going to be drama.
Speaker 1: It's like me and Emily, we go through perimenopause together. Also,
Speaker 1: something that happens on Housewives is you think like you're like, Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm really nailing it like this, people are going to
Speaker 1: love I never think that, but some people do.
Speaker 2: Some people do. Yes, I agree, people really.
Speaker 1: Think like, gosh, this is my season blah blah. If
Speaker 1: you were going to tell us who, like the crowd
Speaker 1: favorite is going to be from this season and who
Speaker 1: we're going to have the hardest time with, who would
Speaker 1: you say?
Speaker 5: I don't know if we can say.
Speaker 6: I think there's just something for everybody, and so I
Speaker 6: think it'll differ depending on the person. I think each
Speaker 6: person in the cash shared something super vulnerable, and so
Speaker 6: I think whoever is going to resonate with that, they're
Speaker 6: gonna resonate with that one person.
Speaker 4: I think all of us think we're the main character always.
Speaker 5: I think I think it's gonna be what she said,
Speaker 5: like whoever you're gonna relate to the most, because me
Speaker 5: all are going to be different, but we're also all
Speaker 5: very vulnerable and open. So I think like there's gonna
Speaker 5: probably be a villain, there's gonna be like someone who
Speaker 5: says whatever comes to their mind. It's gonna be a peacemaker.
Speaker 5: There's gonna be all of it. So I think it
Speaker 5: depends on what meshes the best with your personality to
Speaker 5: your like the best.
Speaker 1: And now I also need to know, like, are you
Speaker 1: guys already media trained or is this like just because
Speaker 1: you're part of LDS, like that you know how to
Speaker 1: answer all the questions without actually giving us the tea.
Speaker 5: I know you're dodging.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like I and then why don't.
Speaker 5: I want to put any assumption because I like, we
Speaker 5: haven't seen it yet. I'm like, I don't know who'd
Speaker 5: be the favorite.
Speaker 6: I mean, like, of course we think we already have
Speaker 6: our own personal opinions, but we're just gonna hold on
Speaker 6: to them because I'm I was.
Speaker 3: Going to ask you that. So you haven't seen any
Speaker 3: of the episodes yet.
Speaker 2: They haven't.
Speaker 6: No, we've seen like bits and pieces of it, but
Speaker 6: not like full Okay, it's the plan to give you
Speaker 6: the episode before it airs so that you can see it, or.
Speaker 5: You don't know.
Speaker 4: I think we're just gonna watch it with the rest
Speaker 4: of the world and never.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, what do you think that there is some
Speaker 3: type of reunion that they'll film like they do with housewives,
Speaker 3: because obviously there's gonna be a bunch out there and
Speaker 3: you guys are all going to have what you're gonna
Speaker 3: want to, you know, have a rebuttal or explain something
Speaker 3: more So, are there any plans to bring you all
Speaker 3: back together and do that?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think that would be fun, though
Speaker 5: I think it depends too on like if the viewers
Speaker 5: really want it, and you're like, hey, we want to
Speaker 5: rely want it, then we'll do it. I don't but
Speaker 5: it's not up to us. I think it's just kind
Speaker 5: of like how the show does. And like if there's
Speaker 5: if there's unanswered questions, maybe then they'll want to do one.
Speaker 5: But we don't know yet.
Speaker 1: If right, and everybody is currently married on the show,
Speaker 1: and you guys are all and everybody has kids.
Speaker 5: No, so Layla is not married and then anymore, she
Speaker 5: got divorced and then Taylor is dating Dakotas they're not
Speaker 5: like married yet, but they seem like they're married.
Speaker 6: But everyone has kids. Everyone has kids. There's blended families.
Speaker 6: There's people that have been married, got divorced and now
Speaker 6: they're married again and have step sibling or yeah, kids,
Speaker 6: there's actually a lot of that.
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, are.
Speaker 1: We gonna like Dakota because it's been a little rough
Speaker 1: going on social media?
Speaker 4: You know you'll have to wait, Allen for sure.
Speaker 2: Wait, but you should ask that. Do you like Dakota?
Speaker 6: I like Tens on the day. I think it depends
Speaker 6: on the day for anyone. If I'm like me and
Speaker 6: him definitely have conflict on this show. I don't want
Speaker 6: to give anything away, but like, I think he's a
Speaker 6: nice person for sure. But yeah, we've definitely had our
Speaker 6: issues and you'll see that all are out.
Speaker 4: I think it.
Speaker 6: Really tests every relationship that you think it wouldn't when
Speaker 6: you're put in these situations.
Speaker 5: And so I think even if.
Speaker 4: You want in being like, oh yeah, I'm good at
Speaker 4: this person, it really just tests.
Speaker 5: The boundaries and test the water. So I think the
Speaker 5: show in general is almost like a social experiment because
Speaker 5: we all, most of us were friends going into it,
Speaker 5: and like we all had our trials to get like,
Speaker 5: even we who were like we're very very close, like
Speaker 5: had moments where we're like, what's going on, like even
Speaker 5: in our friendship, And I think a reality show kind
Speaker 5: of tests that because it's just crazy. It's emotionally draining too.
Speaker 5: It's a lot.
Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts on the book Bad Mormon.
Speaker 5: I haven't read it, so I don't know. I might
Speaker 5: have to add that to my list. I've never read
Speaker 5: it before. But I am a big book girl, an
Speaker 5: audible girl. I don't like to read. I'd like to listen,
Speaker 5: so might have to tex I haven't heard of that.
Speaker 3: Have you gotten any feedback as far as the church?
Speaker 3: Because I lived in Utah for five years, my husband
Speaker 3: is Mormon. I'm not but I do know that culturally
Speaker 3: the church is huge. I mean, it's just I felt
Speaker 3: when I lived there, I felt like I didn't really
Speaker 3: fit in because I was never LDS, so you know,
Speaker 3: I always felt a little displaced there. So my question
Speaker 3: would be, with these episodes coming out and the religion
Speaker 3: being such so central to all of this, do you
Speaker 3: guys worry about what the church thinks and church and
Speaker 3: it's import the show?
Speaker 5: And yeah, I think for sure.
Speaker 4: I think even just dropping the name.
Speaker 6: It was like a huge backlash already just having the
Speaker 6: word Mormon in there. And I think it's hard where
Speaker 6: we are if we go anywhere else, like Utah has
Speaker 6: such a strong community of Mormons. So I think it's
Speaker 6: just the community and the culture in Utah that's hard
Speaker 6: to navigate. And I feel like it's such a small
Speaker 6: bubble in Utah too, like everyone knows somebody, even.
Speaker 5: Driving home from her house.
Speaker 6: The other day, I was in an uber and the
Speaker 6: guy was like, oh, so what do you do? And
Speaker 6: I talked about being on a reality show. He's like, oh,
Speaker 6: it's not the new Secret Lives, warmon Lives and I
Speaker 6: was like, oh, actually it is.
Speaker 4: And so it's like and he just had so many
Speaker 4: questions to ask.
Speaker 5: I think it's just fascinating.
Speaker 4: But I definitely think people in Utah a little bit
Speaker 4: more offended by it. Maybe Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 5: Originally California too, and I would say the culture in
Speaker 5: each ove is a lot different than it is in California,
Speaker 5: And I do think I don't think the church will
Speaker 5: really do much.
Speaker 4: And I think as long as you know who you
Speaker 4: are and like what you're betraying, then there's nothing to
Speaker 4: worry about.
Speaker 5: Like I'm not worried about it as an active member
Speaker 5: because like I didn't do anything that I'm like worried
Speaker 5: about or like that.
Speaker 1: What do you have your undergarments on right now?
Speaker 5: Not right now?
Speaker 6: Uh oh we're business up here, but casual.
Speaker 5: It's too hot in my house right now to where
Speaker 5: I'm no, But I know I talked about that on
Speaker 5: my social medium, like why are we asking people like
Speaker 5: what underwear are we wearing? Like why do you care
Speaker 5: if I'm like wearing that? Like I think it's when
Speaker 5: it's personal for each member, but also like for some reason,
Speaker 5: it's like a culture thing where people are like, well,
Speaker 5: you're not doing this, you're not doing this, You're not
Speaker 5: doing this you're not Mormon, but like that's not true.
Speaker 5: So I'm really hoping the show can shed light on
Speaker 5: the fact that, like there we're all on different journeys
Speaker 5: with the Mormon Church, and we don't need to judge
Speaker 5: based on where they are, but anything, we should be
Speaker 5: accepting people because we're all sinners. That's why we go
Speaker 5: to church, right, is to you know, feel that community
Speaker 5: and get altered to Christ. Right, So why are we
Speaker 5: turning people away and saying we don't claim these people?
Speaker 5: So that's why I hope the show shit's like hones
Speaker 5: like you can still be Mormon, like you could come
Speaker 5: to church, you could do this, like you don't have
Speaker 5: to be perfect. And so that's kind of like what
Speaker 5: I'm hoping comes out of it.
Speaker 4: And I think a big bash backlash that we've gotten to.
Speaker 6: Is saying, oh, well, they don't look like typical Mormon wives,
Speaker 6: and I'm like, well, what does a typical Mormon wife look.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's true because I lived in Utah
Speaker 3: for five years and I was like, damn, all these
Speaker 3: women are attractive. I think I can I can spot
Speaker 3: a Mormon wife woman, and they all are attractive.
Speaker 2: They really are.
Speaker 1: Well put together, I guess, and.
Speaker 3: I read once that there's more like plastic surgery in
Speaker 3: Utah than than California, the second biggest. Like the women
Speaker 3: in Utah look good and they take care of themselves,
Speaker 3: So I think you all do look like Mormon wife.
Speaker 5: So you can spot a Mormon wife, like when I
Speaker 5: go back to California, like, oh that girls Mormon, tell
Speaker 5: I don't know what to die.
Speaker 2: I can't do.
Speaker 6: Mormons, but I think there's I think that's what was
Speaker 6: so fascinating about the show is just Utah women in general.
Speaker 5: People are so fascinated with because they're like, what do
Speaker 5: they look like this where are always put together and
Speaker 5: they're drinking soda at nine am?
Speaker 1: Like you know what, I like that drive through where
Speaker 1: you can only get sodas and you add a little splash.
Speaker 1: What's it called.
Speaker 2: Swag?
Speaker 1: I love my gosh. Well, thank you guys so much.
Speaker 1: We are so excited to watch and recap and then
Speaker 1: hopefully we can have you guys back on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thank you guys. I appreciate it. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much. Okay, bye,
