Mormon Wives Deep Dive: Pregnancy, Mocktails, and the Mormon Aesthetic
At 25:23 · chapter starts 23:56
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.
Mormon Wives Might Be Better Than Vanderpump Rules
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.
BYU Super Weekend: The Vegas Marriage Loophole
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.'
