mama let’s research! help us decide what our next deep dive should be by completing this quick survey: mama let's research some legal drama

In this jam-packed episode of bestie approved, Travis and Emma are catching you up on everything, from vivid pregnancy dreams and baby August’s current produce comparison (spoiler: he’s a cucumber) to Carnival Cruise chaos and an absolutely unhinged house fire story that has everything: a heart attack, a deaf daughter with long COVID, and a smoky old-fashioned. Bless Nancy.

Emma’s dreams are weird, her baby’s kicking, and her sleep is a mess, but nothing compares to the real-world drama on their TV screens. The duo dives deep into The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives episodes 6, 7, and 8, covering everything from Whitney’s polarizing apology attempts to Demi’s villain arc, Layla’s neutral zone failures, and Taylor’s descent into winged retaliation.

The Mormon Bake Off is a hit and the hot chocolate is a miss. Plus, Jessi gets the heartbreak edit after Demi’s betrayal, and the girls try to keep their halos in place at a Saints & Sinners party that ends with raised voices and fallen friendships.

Also in this episode:

  • Travis goes off about racism on Carnival Cruises
  • Emma defends Keith Sweat karaoke moments on viral cruises
  • Everyone needs an Etsy witch or a priest after the house fire saga
  • Jesse deserves better (again)
  • Demi, please stop talking about other people’s money
  • Taylor’s wings defy physics (and taste)
