Mel & Jill Geek Out

Between slightly premature wedding planning with Christine and David to Meri not taking any shit from Kody, frankly, not a lot happened during this episod...

They finish the opener with a quick discussion of Meri’s fire TikTok and the many, many interviews Christine and Janelle have been doing. 

Mel & Jill dive into the aptly nam...

The besties chat a little about recent SLOMW and Sister Wives headlines and a little U.S. Grand Prix tea. Austin, TX is the place to be in October. 

The besties jump right into the fifth episode of this slightly different Mormon show. From rotting their teeth at a soda shop to planning the death of a marriage, most of the group has come out of the tumultuous girls trip with big plans. Except for Whitney, who has chosen to be a wh...

The besties talk a little Taylor Swift news, and a quick update on current events for Sister Wives, but really spend a majority of the pod talking about this week’s Sister Wives episode. 

After the birth of the twins, both Christine and Robyn come together into a cordial partnership to help Mykelti get used to being a mom of 3. What really matters in this episode is a huge fight between Robyn and Kody over his relationships (or l...

Jill tells Mel about a new who-done-it series she binged over the weekend. Per usual, Jill was happy to report that she correctly figured out the killer in episode 2. Somehow, this led to a discussion on reading smut and what it tells you about a person.

This episode of the Mormon Wives left the besties with whiplash. Accusations and hurt feelings were everywhere on what was supposed to be Mayci’s birthday girls trip. Demi gets i...

The Besties welcome to a new friend of the podcast, Rhi! She’s their official Australian correspondent and bring many humorous takes to the table. 

The crew talks some TikTok drama, the new season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and sad Danny Riccardo. They did also almost digress but they did eventually get into the latest episode of Sister Wives. Essentially, Kody wanted to dip out of Logan’s wedding because he’s incapable of ...

Mel & Jill accidentally start the episode on a bit of a heavy note with Hurricane Helene, a heartbreaking docuseries, and adoption trauma. Thank goodness the Mormon wives have plenty of entertaining shenanigans to easily lighten the mood.

The besties are still in agreement that Whitney is the worst even though she clearly thinks she’s the queen bee of Mormon MomTok. Who needs enemies when you have friends like these ladies. F...

The besties start the episode going through their current TikTok obsessions - from a giant baby penguin to an adorable pygmy hippo, cute weird animals are all the rage. And P.Diddy is going to jail for sooooo long. 

The besties then dive into the second episode of Sister Wives. Kody continues to be just the worst husband, father, human in existence. Christine is up to her classic antics of throwing a party for any and all occasio...

The besties kick off the episode talking about the unfortunate return of Sad Danny in F1. Let’s just hope that Signapore really wasn’t his swan song. 

Then the besties dive into the second episode of this Hulu Original. With a major time jump, there’s a lot of catching up to do. From Whitney desperately trying to establish herself as HBIC to Taylor’s messy life, the women in Utah seem to have very few ducks in a row. Oh, and the ...

Mel and Jill only digress a tiny bit before jumping into the epic conclusion Rebecca Yarros’ second outing into the Emperyon Series. From high stakes battles (even if they were hard to follow) to ultimate sacrifices, this ending has everything you could want and more. Though not 100% impressed by this sophomore book, the besties agree that they’re excited to see where the story goes in the upcoming third installment, Onyx Storm. 

Mel and Jill kick off the episode by discussing dog personalities and the horrendous P. Diddy indictment. The besties wonder who will be implicated next…

The besties dive into Jill’s latest obsession, Secret Live of Mormon Wives. Birthed from a scandal that rocked TikTok, this new reality show follows the lives of several women who are a part of ‘#momtok’ and are also Mormon. Mel may not have a lot of nice things to say, but it has been an entertaining show so far. Listen as the besties are introduced to this cast of characters and make their initial reactions to who they think will...

Down the rabbit hole the besties go in their 11th digress episode. From the presidential debate to the antics on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, the two wander through a variety of topics. Jill wraps up the episode to put her clown makeup back on in the hopes of another TS album announcement at the VMAs or this coming weekend while Mel highly disagrees. Guess we’ll find out!

Have a suggestion on what we should cover next? DM us or ...

Mel & Jill have a few tiny pieces of news about a lot of different things. And Jill might have picked a new series for the besties to cover. 

After a seriously long hiatus (sorry guys), the besties dive into chapter 53 of Iron Flame. Needless to say, there’s a lot of death (of the dragon and human variety), secrets revealed, and war to be waged. Mel thinks she might have figured out Violet’s second signet, and we learn a lot ...

The besties do a quick round-up of recent news from the Brown’s (what’s left of them anyway) selling their McMansion to Taylor Swift being the poster child of WAGs everywhere. They dive into their final film of the Summer of Blockbuster series with the same gusto Cher dives into a makeover with! From the weird romantic relationship to the iconic lines, what’s not to love about this 90s classic? 

Mel and Jill are best friends who ...

The Besties didn’t intend to digress, but it’s been a sec since they’ve recorded together and it just kinda happened. From Valley news to recent developments in F1, to their mutual recent obsessions with true crime documentaries, the pair had too many things to discuss before getting to the originally planned programming. Also threw in some book news while they were at it.  

Have a suggestion on what we should cover next? DM us o...

Mel and Jill could not wait to watch the season finale of The Valley so our pre-episode chit chat may be slightly old news. Both of us had to wipe our clown faces off, cause womp womp, we were wrong about Reputation TV. We may not have gotten our favorite re-record, but we did get a music video and surprise appearances from major celebs like Florence from Florence & the Machine. Take us to Florida!

The Valley season finale wa...
