• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I have no Well, now you get to listen in So,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: so I've been recapping season three. I assume you watched
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: this all when it When did it come out the fall?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: It was last year at some point.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Okay, I've already watched season four and I'm really really online. Okay,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: so I see all of the the drama that's happening
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: on TikTok.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: And like the fallout too from all the interesting thing.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we could talk about this for hours. Well,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: all I want to like to check in with you
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: on a couple of things. So the episode I was
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: recapping for this week is episode nine from season three.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: So we're almost down.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Season three and then we'll be into season four, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: then here we'll be more relevant because we'll be more
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: caught up. So they're in LA promoting season two and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: So one thing I really, I actually really like about
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: this show is it the way it breaks the fourth
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: wall as far as you seeing all the promoting that
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: they do and what they have to do to be
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: influencers and what they're getting from this.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: So the thing I.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Would like to hear well from Stephanie is the first
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: about what I called them all this fame going right
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to their head because in this episode, they're so excited
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to be in LA There's pictures of them everywhere, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: they're looking at themselves.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Now, this is before Taylor Frankie Paul has been selected
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: for the Bachelorette. Yes, or really I think she'd had
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: some charge brought up against her, but that's sort of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: been that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was the domestic violence charge of the first season,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and so she's technically on probation during this point for
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: that charge.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And we've only re a come to see the full
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: picture of what a horrible person she really is.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you seem so, I I'm That's one of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: things I don't how much time I'm really struggling. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: really like Taylor, and I feel bad about the situation.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: But first time I go to somebody.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Actually I don't like, but I changed my mind about
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: this episode as Whitney do. I have not cared for Whitney,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: but this episode she was very self aware and reflective,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and I just don't know what you thought. First of all,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: what you think about Whitney.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: She has some very unlikable qualities about her, but I
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: also think that she's really savvy. She knows how to
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: turn it on and off for her purpose. So I
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: think you're going because I've watched all of season four
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: as well, this is kind of the turning point now
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: she's she's starting to see how the fans have turned
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: against her, and in order to be on Dancing with
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the Stars with a lot of votes and a lot
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: of popularity, she knows she has to turn it around.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I do think that's little bit manufactured.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that, and that is what I like about
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Taylor too.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Taylor knows how to turn it on and off as well,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and that's the reason why they are in charge of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: mom talks.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So Taylor and Whitney go to Jimmy Kimmel.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they do Jimmy Kimmel together, and they're so The
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: thing I did find amusing, like, oh, they're so clever
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and funny because they're on Jimmy Kimmel. And then while
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: they're waiting in the green room, Whitney's like, let's be
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: funny and have a funny entrance, and so they take
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: these moments to rehearse them coming out to fight over
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the seat next to Jimmy, and it is Whitney's idea,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: like she really does know how to show up and perform,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and so does Taylor, and so they have their moment
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: on Jimmy Kimmel. And the picture I had after this
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: was I don't know if I put that one up.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Where they were, it was hard to get a good
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: picture of them, like it looks like they're wrestling. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I will also say it was very difficult to get
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a good picture of this because Taylor Frankie Paul does
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: not have all of her undergarments on, and they had
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to blur out a lot in this scene, and I
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: did not want anyone to think I was trying to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: share that as well. But then the other thing, going
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: back to Whitney's understanding of where they're at with their business,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I think the next picture is them standing in front
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: of pictures of themselves is Whitney's totally beguiled and excited
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: about being in LA and says we could be the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Spice Girls like she's and she and she's thinking, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: what she says on the show is she wants to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: rally the girls and the women to like get into
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: basically like show attitude and to and again. And I
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: was really impressed and because with this throughout the show,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: with her self awareness and trying to get them together,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and she does want to bring mom talk back.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: And then the other thing, well, we'll jump around. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: want to touch base on.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Is this so you you mentioned mom talk and you
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: talk about that all the time. Yeah, but there's also
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: something called dad talk dad And I'm wondering who and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the hell cares about that at all? And why do
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: they even show it? Why would we care about the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: husbands me?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I will say that's one of the favorite things I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: do like about the show because it is centered on
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: them all the all the men are described as so
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and So's husbands, so and So's husband, right, and that's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the I mean, I'm fine with that, but they get
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: caught up in this fame as well, because when they're
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in LA, these guys are fantasizing but getting to quit
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: their jobs and buying big houses.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: And they're like, we're going to homeschool together. I'm going
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: to stay home totally.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And so we have this ongoing drama with Taylor and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Dakota that's gonna keep bubbling up. There's this information that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: he shared that there was some sort of and I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: don't know if this is explored more at the end
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of the season into four season about the inappropriateness of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: this relationship he had with basically a family friend of
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Taylor's and so and so in jumping around, I posted
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a picture because they she and her mom call this person,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and this person clearly does not want to be on
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the show because every time they say her name, they
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: bleep it. And then when they talk to her, they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: put her on speakerphone. It says voice what did it say?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Voice was altered so that they could talk to this person.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And she's denying. And I love Taylor's space in this
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: as well. Is she's denying that she did anything but Dakota.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But you we can see, like the I think we
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: can see like the ongoing struggle that Taylor has with
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Dakota uh and their relationship, and that she really does
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I think care for him or like his attention or something,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and then he keeps cheating on her, which has been
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the challenge.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Great great people.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: And they have a baby.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Somebody, somebody pointed out that Taylor Frankie Paul cannot be
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: on this show anymore because she's no longer a Mormon,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: she's no longer a wife, and she has no secrets
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: anymore either.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is kind of Yeah, I'm sole reason for
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: the show, though. I mean, you cannot you can cannot
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: deny her that she started the whole thing with the
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: swinger scandal.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yep, she's the one. So without her, it wouldn't really exist.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to not exist. That's that's my prediction.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Oh, I love the optimism you have
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: for humanity.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think I think that I think that at some
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: point that it's that they'll say, look, we can't have
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: her on.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: This, but the show will keep going, I.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Guess, but it will die too much money on the time.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're sucked in.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I think everyone, well not everyone, many people are invested
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: and that's exactly the hook that they've been trying to get.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And it's such a phenomenon.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't see Disney saying goodbye to it's
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: a lot of money.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But they will say goodbye to her.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't know, because I think the nature of her,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the offense, the criminal activity she is in, it is
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: limited to their circle. And I think it was very
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: interesting about how when all this came out that no one,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: neither Hulu nor Disney took us a really hard stand immediately.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: They waited and waited and waited, and then there was
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: outcry about values, and this isn't about values.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: It is about the money. And so I think they're
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: trying to walk this line.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Of what are we Are we exploiting are we endorsing
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: this behavior? And they might be able to talk themselves
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: into there's a way to still include her, but I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: think it'll be up to the other women. And actually,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the other thing I'll add to is this past season,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: the fact that Demi and Whitney were on the outs
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and they're still being including the show shows that they
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: know and Whitney says this in the show, they know
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: how to keep everybody in the orbit because it's what
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: people will follow, and so they might figure out a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: way to keep all of this in the orbit. Of
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the show because because I don't know, she's different, Like
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I compared to the jen Shaw thing right where Jenshaw
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: had these victims that she was exploiting, and that it's
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: different from the nature.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Of what Taylor.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Kid got hit in the head with a chair and.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: I could not did you watch the video? I couldn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: do it. I just read the description.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: But also to keep in mind that reality TV loves
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: a redemption arc. Oh so they I see a big
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: old so they the script it up, push for that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You know, there's money.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: She'll redeem herself, She'll do the things that are necessary,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: and it will be a very storyline.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think, and I think and I think Taylor
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: would be good at it. She's she's done. She look
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: what she did with the Swing scandal. She I mean
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: she redeemed herself from that. And then to your point
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: about Whitney redeeming herself this season, like these two bitches
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: know what they're doing and so like they're gonna get
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: they're gonna get it done. And if and if Ulu
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and Disney are on board with it anyway.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Right, well, now, what's the drinking game?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's what every time that Whitney has these self
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: aware moments.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: I count at least four to ten.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I'm just really impressed with her acknowledging where she's a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: hypocrite and the insight she has about the other women
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to help make them successful.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, there you go, Live Live Victoria
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: with her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives update and Stephanie,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming down to and we will we'll talk
