Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, they talk better than they excited. These are the
radio blogs on the Fred Show.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's like writing in our diaries, except we say to
them aloud.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
We call them blogs.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm taking this one, and I kind of wish I
got my moleskin diary out last night and took notes, because,
dear blog, I'm still watching this. I'm still watching this
Mormon Housewives show on Hulu, the one I told you
yesterday that Kaylin and I were talking about and we
told you, or I told you I wasn't going to watch.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Did you finish it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I finished it.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Unfortunately for my brain cells, I have only one left.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I hate myself for watching this. I hate I honestly
was laying there like, why can I not stop? It
is a terrible, awful television show with a bunch of
terrible awful people. And I hate Whitney though I hate Whitney.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Oh my god, she is so jealous yep, She's awful.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And why does the one girl have to All the
other girls use their first name except for the one
who has to say Affleck because she's a second cousin
of Ben Affleck.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
You noticed that, yes only use one last name on
the show. Jennifer Affleck, they write out. Everyone else is
Macey Whitney Taylor. Yeah, she's second cousins with Ben Affleck,
and I'm sure he's loving this press.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Once removed second cousins, once red it's her.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Husband's second cousin, So I don't know what the hell
removed that is.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
But like every other girl is just a first name,
except she has to be Jen Affleck because well that's
what she's randing herself as because maybe she's related. Oh
and by the way, Jen Affleck is same as Jennifer
Affleck and they have the same middle name too. I
hate myself. I just want to say, like, honestly, this
is what they show people in Guantanamo Bay as torture
to try and get them to give out state secrets.
(01:39):
Like this is what And I can't stop though, because
I feel like I'm being left out if I don't
finish it, because everyone else is watching it. And I
posted a picture or like a video on my Instagram
yesterday of watching it and I got like fifty dms,
Oh what do you think I'm watching? What do you think?
So I feel this like obligation to see it through.
You know, my parents told me never to quit, like
(01:59):
that day on the ski lift, you know, So I'm
not gonna I don't think I'm gonna quit, But I
it's a really awful show, and it's I don't understand,
Like I don't understand so many things that are happening.
I mean, some of them costs, some of them don't.
Some of them drink, some of them don't. Some of
them wear garments, some of them don't. You know, some
are holier than thou, but they're all caddy as hell.
(02:22):
I mean they're talking about swinging, they're talking about like
I don't I just I'm confused, Like are we devout?
Are we not devout? Are we Mormon? Aren't you just
snitching on yourselves?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Right? Like you're just That's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Why these all these women haven't been excommunicated, I don't know,
because they're all none of them should be doing any
of it. Like you're talking about how devout you are,
but you're still gossiping, You're still hanging out with people
who are doing bad stuff. You're still hanging out people
who are cussing, right, I mean, how does that how
does that make you devout? I don't I don't get it.
But it is the most caddy high school thing ever.
(02:55):
And I agree with you, Kaitlin. They're all lying about
their age. Oh my goodness, all lying about their age.
The other thing is, have you noticed that, like they're
supposedly in their twenties and their husbands are in their
mid to late forties. Is that a thing in the
Mormon community?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't. I mean, I'm not, I'm asking the question genuinely.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Is that a thing that men who are older marry
significantly younger women? Is that a cultural thing or not
in every case? But like one of the girl's husbands
is like forty eight years old and she's twenty nine.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, I think ideally though, like you're a virgin when
you get married, right, so that would that would make sense.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And I know that men are typically older because they
have to go on and the culture like this.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Oh yeah, well, I mean they got married so young,
like some of them in their damn sixteen seventeen still virgins?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Right, right? Well, no, kind of right, they were probably
soaking prior.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
But oh my god, well there was a girl that
one of the girls is twenty two with two kids,
already divorced. Yeah, so it's like whoa. Yeah, and I'm
not by the way, I know there are probably Mormon
people listening. Hey, we're not like this. Yeah, I believe that,
Like I believe that. I believe that this is it's
a television show and I get it. But like, I
don't know. I just I have so many questions because
(04:10):
I anyway here.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I'm trying trying to sign up to meet one of
those older men. Is that what you're trying to do
for if I don't have to be Mormon? Sure, And
I guess Macy is not Mormon. That's her name, m
A y c I Macy.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I think she. I guess she's not even Mormon. Someone
texted us yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
So I'm confused about mom talk and how did they
garner mom talk like that seems I don't know so broad,
you know, like there's a lot of moms right out there.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I mean, I just I don't I hate myself. I
just wanted to say, dear blog, I hate myself. I'm
watching this thing. I'll probably finish it and I'll probably
watch season two.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Taylor over Whitney.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
No, I'm team I'm team they all suck. I mean,
I just Taylor doesn't seem great, but she seems the
most honest of I mean, or the most like relatable.
I guess, I mean, I don't, I don't know. I
really don't know what I think. I'm not super impressed
with Taylor. I'm not super I really don't like Whitneys.
I really don't want I wonder out of the group.
(05:14):
I just don't get it. Like one minute, it's we're
Mormon and we don't drink, and we're devout and we're
we're you know, pure and pristine. But let's gossip about
each other, say terrible things about each other behind each
other's back.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
You know, And I don't know that's reality TV though
that's what the TV show, right, I can't quit it.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So that's the other thing, though, Like are we supposed
to believe they don't know they're being filmed or something,
because like people are obviously going to see this. A
lot of the stuff they're doing is obviously set up
by producers, So why are they getting in real fights
over stuff that like was planted? But I guess that's
the whole Housewives model. And I don't have a ton
(05:55):
of experience with reality TV. But I was once cast
on one show. It never aired, But I do have
first hand experience with the producers going, yeah, but like
she said, you were a dick. You know, what do
you think? And you're supposed to like track, you know,
they try and get you all fired up so you'll
trash people. So I know that's what they're doing. They're
like baiting everybody. But like, if you're worried about what
(06:17):
the church is going to do to you, you're on
national you're on worldwide television. Like again, I don't know
why they haven't intervened and been like we don't want
anything to do with any of these people.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah, did you get to the scene where Taylor's baby
daddy moves in and her parents are at the table,
Like the way he addressed her parents was wild.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Dude, I don't that guy's I don't.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I yeah, I don't trust him as far as I
can spit Kaylen, Yeah, I trust Yeah. I don't know
about it. I just I don't know what's going on.
It's like a whole different breed of people, Like, it's
a whole different it almost gives like aliens.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I'm going
to on that one.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But like other worldly I don't know, but their own
kind of people. Yeah, Like don't they all They all
kind of look ken dollish. They all kind of look
a little plastic.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Well, to be in the mom Talk group, you have
to have a middle part, you have to have extensions,
and your hair has to be curled. Like they all
have the same hair except for Whitney. It's very interesting.
The same look, the same workout clothes, and they just
do their little dances and swing I guess sometimes in
the nighttime.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Soft swing.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, that's another thing.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
But like all the men are like very chiseled jawed,
but like they don't necessarily seem all that sophisticated, don't
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I mean again, I like to meet She's my favorite, huh.
I have to go look up what their pictures are.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
And by the way, no one get mad at me
for dissing these people because they chose to be on television, okay,
and they chose they chose to look this way, and
they knew what they were doing. Every single one of
them is just trying to be famous. So this is
what you get, is you get this level of scrutiny
because they're all hoping to cash in from this, and
I'm not sure how many of them have. And then
the whole debate about like the one the Whitney girl
(07:57):
was offered twenty thousand dollars to to market a sex toy,
and it was like this whole big deal and I'm like,
but she's married, Like she's married. Like, so she's married,
Like she has kids. They obviously do that stuff. Why
is this so controversial? So so she has it, she's
getting twenty grand to advertise a toy. She's she's married. Like,
(08:18):
if you're worried about what people are going to think
of you, like you're allowed to do that, aren't you
you were in a relationship like I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, I'm not asking my mom if I can push
a sex toy. I mean I would feel weird if
my family saw that online. But also I'm not asking my.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Mom Freda for twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Yeah, I think you're ready to step into the world
of housewives. Man, sounds like you're ready.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It gives it gives team mom if this show gives
teen moms, well, because they're team moms so.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Different.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I love hip hop.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Why who says I haven't watched every single onie.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
