Podbit · Giggly Squad
Some Mormon students at BYU allegedly travel to Las Vegas on 'Super Weekends,' legally marry, have sex, then annul the marriage — all to technically avoid premarital sex. Hannah Berner calls it genius. Paige calls it 'rebellion at a 14-year-old reading level.'

Hannah has been in a 'K-hole' with Mormon Wives for days and comes to the pod armed with observations. Her headline argument: no other show portrays pregnancy the way this one does. With roughly nine women in the cast and someone always pregnant, the show normalizes pregnancy as simply another backdrop for living a full, chaotic, funny life. Nobody hides it and nobody makes it the whole storyline. Macy and McKayla stop to pee eight times on a road trip and it's documented as honest journalism. The mocktail culture impresses Hannah almost as much — these women are everywhere, fighting with people's husbands, having parties, ordering hibiscus-ginger mocktails with total confidence. Hannah, who used to whisper her mocktail orders at bars, is inspired. She also notes the Mormon aesthetic: all the women wear their hair the same way Hannah does, and everywhere they go is cute and curated.
Hannah Berner declares Secret Mormon Wives may be better than Vanderpump Rules for one big reason: it's the first show where pregnant women just live their lives normally. They're fighting, gossiping, road-tripping, and yelling at husbands — fully pregnant — and nobody makes it the entire storyline.
The cast of Secret Mormon Wives has around 9 women and someone is always pregnant, yet the show treats pregnancy as entirely unremarkable.
Erin Brockovich describes data center expansion as 'a full-on assault' hitting communities across water, electricity, noise, air pollution, and land loss. She calls it the biggest bipartisan conversation she's seen in her 30-year career — and warns that tech companies didn't see the coming backlash.
Demanding an emergency fund balance on a first date is the wrong approach. What you're really looking for is someone with character, maturity, and a direction — not a perfect financial snapshot. You can build a budget in 20 minutes; you can't build character that fast.
The fear of not being financially ready to have children is almost always a failure to run the real budget. On $110K a year, you can afford a child. What you can't afford is the fantasy nursery, the bigger car, and staying home on one income without a plan.
You've already said enough. The enabling, the financial dysfunction, the fear it'll land in your lap — if you can't say yes with full confidence, the answer is no. Tell Mom to rent a cheap one-bedroom, sell her house, and buy a condo near the grandkids instead.
Bobby watching a father hold his baby triggered an existential moment: he and Andrew might be missing fatherhood. They priced out adoption ($40K–$70K private, $0–$2K foster care) and briefly considered adopting a child to timeshare like a condo.
In 1950, 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty. Today it's roughly 1 in 10. Capitalism and economic growth did that — nothing else has ever worked at scale. The challenge now isn't generating enough wealth; it's building the political will to distribute it.
The manosphere begins with genuinely useful advice — get fit, be ambitious, find a partner. But it rapidly devolves into dominance, misogyny, and crypto university grifts. The most famous manosphere figures are running $50-a-month Ponzi schemes, exploiting the very loneliness they pretend to cure.
Throughout human history, only 40% of men have ever reproduced. Romantic success has never been guaranteed — it has always required effort, self-development, and resilience. The incel movement's core lie is telling men they're owed something that no man has ever been owed.
The most common word Scott Galloway has heard in his life is no. That's not a failure — it's the mechanism through which great yeses are earned. For shy young men, the path forward is simple: approach people, accept rejection, repeat. Resilience to discomfort is the only real competitive advantage.
