• Haley shares her initial reluctance to support pet stores but emphasizes the moral imperative that drove her to act:

  “I can't just leave the dog there. I can't leave more dogs there. Like, I need to get more dogs.” [06:14]

• Mimi and Tasha express their support, reinforcing the importance of rescuing animals from unethical environments:

  “She helped you and got my dog out to us.” [12:39]

  “This literally brought joy to my dismal week.” [34:00]

The conversation then shifts to Annabelle, the infamous haunted doll, delving into its backstory and the lore surrounding its malevolent nature within the true crime community.

Transcript

[Bunny]

As the temps start rising, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm not wasting money on pieces I'll wear only once or for just one season. Quince changes that their clothes are timeless, lightweight and far more elevated than anything else. At this price, it finally feels like my wardrobe matches my standards. The best part? Everything with Quince is half the cost of similar brands like 100% European linen shorts and dresses from $30, luxe swimwear, Italian leather platform sandals and so much more. And quints only work with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices and premiums fabrics and finishes. I have been obsessed with Quint for a while now. Their cashmere and silk are next level, but their gym line completely surprised me in the best way. The fabrics are buttery, soft, breathable and hold up like a dream during workouts and errands. This summer I picked up their Flow Knit ultra soft performance shorts, lightweight terry hoodie and ribbed tank set and let me tell you, they're quickly becoming my go to essentials. The quality for the price is unreal. Everything feels like the luxe Active brand.

[Haley]

You guys are the ones who wanted to bring the dog, so. And I haven't even talked about the dog or introduced her on line yet.

[Tasha]

Should I just hold her up?

[Haley]

You guys, welcome to the family. Moon cake. D. Ford. I'm her Babs. This is Bailey's dog that we saved. Should I tell the story?

[Tasha]

Bailey might not dog anymore.

[Haley]

No, no, I. Listen, I offered her to you first, and you said no.

[Mimi]

She's having regret. Buyers regret. She's like, I should have done it.

[Tasha]

No, it was gonna be this one.

[Haley]

All right, so let me tell you guys the story behind this really quick. I know I'm gonna get some hate for this, and it's okay. Growing up in Vegas, puppy stores are a staple. I never knew anything other than puppy stores.

[Mimi]

I knew puppy stores.

[Bunny]

Literally.

[Haley]

There's a puppy store. There was a puppy store on every corner. Growing up in Vegas, if you are from Vegas, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And, you know, anytime I was sad, anytime I just wanted to go and find a new dog, I didn't know anything about, like, breeders or, like, rescuing puppies or anything like that. We would go to pet stores. So, long story short, there we were in Vegas. This last time that we were out there and we had. I had been away from Chachi and the animals and I was just like, oh my God, I just need to go see the puppies. And maybe if there's one that I want to bring home, then we'll get it. And to me, I'm sorry. In a way, I feel like that's rescuing puppies too, out of a bad situation. Out of a bad situation, yeah. Now that I know what I know about rescues and stuff like that, I also do feel like I'm rescuing an animal out of that situation. That's how we got Bussy. I literally told my husband, I'm feeling sad. I'm going to walk into a pet store and if they have a basset hound, I'm going to buy the basset hound. Lo and behold, I walk into the frickin pet store buses right there and they never have basset hounds ever.

[Mimi]

Big. His ears were huge. Yeah.

[Haley]

He was so little. And. And Bussy was the best addition to our family and we love him so much. So anyways, I was sad. We were all in Vegas and I was missing my animals and I'm like, let's just go, you know, look at some puppies. So we walk in and instantly it's all these frou frou dogs. I hate fruit fruit dogs. You guys know I love bulldogs. I just love an aesthetically pleasing animal. To me, a fruit fruit dog is not aesthetically pleasing at all. But I look across the room and I see the prettiest, like bluish green eyes looking back at me and like the just happiest little demeanor. And I walk over to her and I'm like, what is this dog's name? And the lady goes, moon cake. And I was like, oh my God, that is a perfect name because we literally have crunch s' more. And then also, I love the moon. I'm always talking about the moon. And I used to have a bulldog named Bocephus Moon, which my friend Shelby has right now. But anyways, we pull her out and I'm playing with her and I'm just like, oh my God, you're the cutest thing ever. I find out she's an Aquarius, right? So I called Jay and I'm like, babe, I think I'm gonna bring home another dog. And he's like, I need a new dog. Airplane dog. We have bus dog. I need airplane dog now. And I'm like, no, you don't get an airplane dog. I was like, but I might bring this. This dog Home. And he's like, get her, get her, get her. And I'm like, okay, cool. So I'm just looking at her and I'm just like, I don't know, man. You just don't fit the aesthetic. I just don't know if I like you like that. Like, I just really was just having an internal struggle with it, and I was just like, you know, we already have so many animals at home. We don't need to add another dog. We're trying to have a baby, you know, like, no, this is just not going to work out. Jay's on the phone. Get the fucking dog. I'm like, I'm not getting the dog.

[Mimi]

He's such a bad influence when it comes to the dog.

[Haley]

Literally. He's such a bad. He'll tell you to get the animal and then never talk to it again. Yeah, literally. So anyways, I leave the pet store un. You know, just sad about the whole thing. I really just wanted to, you know, bring one of the puppies home. But I was just like, you know what? I'm making the right decision and I'm not contributing to a pet store.

[Mimi]

And, you know, but comes home and talks about it and was like, you guys, this is this dog trying to.

[Haley]

Break the habit, right? And so I come home and I talk to them, and I'm just like, I went and saw this dog, and she was the cutest thing. Like, I just was like, I felt torn about it, but I was just like, I'm putting my foot down. I'm not going to support a pet store, and whatever. So I come home and I still kind of thought about the dog a little bit, and I was just like, I wonder if she's okay. Whatever. I opened my phone up on Instagram one day, and I'm not going to say the name of the pet store, but there's a. An. A story, a post about a pet store in Las Vegas that is literally putting the animals in storage containers. Storage containers. And it happened to be the pet store that I saw Moon Cake at. And I was like, oh, my God. I left this dog there to die. Like, I felt so bad. I was for sure thinking, like, somebody had gotten her. Whatever. I hit Mimi and Haley, and I was like, are you guys. Can you guys believe this? And I was just like, oh, my heart was breaking. And I was like, I made the wrong decision. I made the wrong decision. I felt so bad. And I'm like, if she's there, I'm gonna get her. So I called the pet store And I'm like, hi, guys. I was in there a couple weeks ago.

[Bunny]

Is mooncake still available?

[Haley]

And she's like, yes, she is. And I was like, oh, my God, I want her. And I was like, but I'm in Nashville. Blah, blah, blah. So I'm like, trying to devise a plan. Jay's gonna fly one of, you know, our employees out there to pick her to pick her up. And I'm just like, I can't just leave the dog there. I can't leave more dogs there. Like, I need to get more dogs. So I'm like, tasha, do you want a puppy? And she's like, yeah, I want a puppy. So I found Tasha a puppy. This beautiful Merle cocker spaniel from the same pet store. And then I was like, you know what, Jesse? You know our friend Jesse Lawless. I love Jesse. She gets such a bad rap online because she is a big mouth Aquarius. And she tries to act a little bit harder than she really is, but deep down inside, I see the good in Jesse. And Jesse is a sweetheart, and I will stand on that forever. She's a loyal dog, man. And if. If she. If you need something, she's gonna be there for you. Literally. Literally.

[Bunny]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

She helped you and got my dog out to us.

[Haley]

Y. Jesse helped her, and Jesse saved her dog. So there was a dog that needed to be rescued in Vegas, and Jesse ended up rescuing the dog, flew the dog out to us. Like, you know, Jesse just is always there for us. And I know there's some things that are online, but I promise you guys. And this is all I'm gonna say about it. Is it? I know more than you guys do, and I know for a fact that what's being said about her is not true. And I'm gonna leave it at that. So anyways, I call Jesse and I'm like, hello? And she's like. Because I. I've been kind of. You know, I love Jesse, but sometimes she gets a little too emotional because she's got that Scorpio moon. And I have to kind of put her on ice sometimes because I'm like, when you're done being emotional, we can have a conversation. Because she's, you know, she's going through a lot, dude.

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

And she's just wears her heart on her sleeve. And I'm like, you gotta stop doing that. Because, you know, people are like sharks in the water. They smell blood, they're going to attack, you know, And I. And she just doesn't get that. But she will. And So I just was like, hello? And she's like, hi. And I'm like, so? And I told her the whole story about the dogs, whatever. She's like, oh, my God, I'm on my way right now. And I'm like, okay. And I. I'll fly you out here, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, and in the meantime, if you want a dog, too, I'll get you one, too, so that we can rescue these dogs. And she's like, oh, my God, I've been wanting to get Sully a. A friend and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, cool. So she literally immediately stops. Everything gets off her. Her life. Because we know. We know Justin loves her lives, and she goes down to these pet stores, finds a wiener dog that she falls in love with. I'm like, cool, that's your dog.

[Bunny]

We.

[Haley]

We get the cocker spaniel and we secure Mooncake. Jesse is literally two hours in on this deal, hops on a plane with two animals, and comes straight to my door by midnight the same day. And we rescued three of the dogs, bro.

[Mimi]

I'm telling you. Yeah.

[Haley]

She's a g. She's like, yeah, she doesn't. People don't know the sweet things that she does because she doesn't let people know. Which pisses me off because I'm like, there's a whole nother side of you that people don't even know.

[Mimi]

Exactly.

[Haley]

And all they know is this one thing that you project to the world that isn't even you.

[Mimi]

That's exactly what I was going to say. She does so much behind the scenes. Like, she didn't put out there that she helped rescue this dog for me.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

Not one time did she post about it or say anything about it, but she dropped everything and was there that night to pick up the dog. And by the next morning, that dog was on its way to me. She went and got groomed, too. She got blue groomed for me by her groomer. And, like, got his little nails taken care of and, like, put a little collar on him, like, packaged him up and sent him off to me. I mean, it's just such a good person, and you don't hear that side of things, you know?

[Haley]

Yeah. Yeah. And I don't stand behind people unless I actually have factual proof. And I have so much proof that would probably break the Internet. But, you know, hear no evil, see no evil. And I tell you, I tell Jesse not to even give into it, because those that really know her and that, you know, have been by her side know that all this Internet doesn't even matter.

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

So that is the story of rescuing three animals. And now we have Mooncake. Point her towards the camera. Everybody needs to see your face. So Bailey ended up falling in love with her, and now I'm her Babs. I'm her bun Bun. Because I said I don't want to be called grandma, so she has to call me Babs.

[Mimi]

This is sweet. She's so smart.

[Haley]

She's integrated into the family so well. And Bussy loves her. Chachi loves her, and Chachi doesn't.

[Tasha]

I love her.

[Haley]

Yeah. Chachi doesn't like anybody.

[Mimi]

The dog's gonna go missing, and we're gonna have to go hunt it down.

[Haley]

I love my kid, but if she's can't be responsible for Mooncake, you can have her. Okay.

[Mimi]

Mess up one time.

[Haley]

Bailey, I swear, it's perfect.

[Tasha]

I mean, I have Luna.

[Mimi]

Luna and Moon cake.

[Haley]

Oh, my God. Luna and Moon came.

[Tasha]

The same size. She's acting like her. It's weird. They're never met a dog that acted like my dog.

[Mimi]

Yeah, it's weird when you meet a soul animal. There's just something about soul animals that.

[Haley]

Like, she has human eyes. Like, Chachi. I said she's got human eyes. She has human eyes.

[Mimi]

Blue has human eyes.

[Haley]

Yeah. Like, it's just so weird. Like, it's like, you know that. And I just feel so much better with her being here, you know? Like, I feel like kind of put.

[Mimi]

Your heart at rest, too, like.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

You really thought about her and, like.

[Tasha]

Yeah, I feel like that one owner.

[Haley]

Yeah. I don't listen, I don't like talking about things that I don't know the whole story. I just know what I saw, and I just sprung into action because I was just like, no, like, this is not gonna happen. You know, Karma will get. If that's really what's happening over there, Karma will definitely get them. You can't treat animals like that.

[Mimi]

Like, what the already being brought to the light because that's how you saw it right across your feed. So someone is out there doing their due diligence to find the truth.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

In that situation, yeah, absolutely. You saved a baby.

[Haley]

But I just did what I felt was right in that situation, y' all. And if people want to hate on me for that, because I. I want.

[Bunny]

But for most of us, there isn't time for long workouts and diets. That's why I want you to talk to my friends at Sono Bello. You know, I've actually looked into Sono.

[Haley]

[Bunny]

[Haley]

[Haley]

U n n I e got these three dogs from a pet store? Then so be it. I don't care. I'll take the hate.

[Mimi]

It's so wild. I agree with you I didn't know any different. We used to love to go to local pet stores, and they'd have the acrylic boxes.

[Haley]

Yes.

[Mimi]

And you got to see all the puppies. And, like, I had no clue until I became more educated.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

In this situation. Same that, you know. But there are some places, though, that, like, do it right. They work with specific breeders and so that, like, these people do, like, these dogs. Yeah, these dogs go to good homes and stuff like that. Because I did go to one in Murphysboro the other day. The one I sent you a picture of, it was a Husky Palm mix.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

And so it was like a big palm, essentially. And I was like, what happens if no one wants the dog? Like, where do they go? And they were like, they actually go right back to the breeders and, like, then they house them from there.

[Haley]

But, yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, we saved some puppies. Monica's dad got ran over by a car. What else have we missed?

[Mimi]

Wait, did we talk about that podcast?

[Haley]

I don't. I think maybe we'll let Momo talk about it. I don't know if she wants me telling her business like I just did, but, you know, like, you know, poor Mo, she's going through it, but, yeah, it's been a crazy. Just something's in everybody.

[Mimi]

Weird.

[Bunny]

Yeah.

[Haley]

I don't know why.

[Mimi]

What about your week?

[Haley]

Oh, well, I'm in medical menopause, and it's hellacious. Okay. It has been the worst thing I've ever been through in my life, which is insane, because literally a couple weeks ago, we were talking about how your lips shrivel on menopause. Remember?

[Mimi]

Are they shriveling?

[Haley]

They're a little. They're a little deflated. It's like this Sahara desert down there. Show me. I will. I'll show you. I'll show you later. So I'm doing my second round of IVF as, like, if you're following me on my backup, I talk more about it on my backup tick tock than I do on my main tick tock. Because, like I said, I am allowing people to know I'm in the journey, but I'm not really talking about it unless it's on the podcast, you know, too. So this cycle we. So last cycle, we got eggs. They're frozen. Whatever. But I guess to increase your chances of having a baby, you need to have, you know, as many eggs as possible, which is why women end doing, like, you know, five to 10 IVF cycles, which hats off to you broads, because there is no way shape or form That I could do that. Like, you guys are real soldiers. Hats off to you guys, because literally, I just. I could. I just can't. It's impossible. So this cycle, we did a completely different protocol than what we did last time. And I told my doctor before this protocol started, I do not want to try Lupron. I. Lupron is one of those drugs that is used for multiple things, like endometriosis, cancer, prostate cancer, ivf. Like, it's just one of those drugs that.

[Mimi]

Broad spectrum.

[Haley]

Broad spectrum, yes. And I saw how my dad felt on Lupron, and now that I actually have gone through it, like, I feel so bad that I was not more understanding with my dad. I've almost gone to the hospital probably 10 times in the past 48 hours. It dropped my estrogen. My estrogen. Estrogen is normally anywhere from 60 to 100. Like, I'm. I'm a juicy. Like, I love estrogen. I am just all. I'm. I almost have. Estrogen dominance is what I have. And they dropped my estrogen to a 14. I'm literally sitting at a 14 right now. And it is the worst thing I've ever been through in my life. You women who are going through menopause, like, my heart aches for you. I. My bones hurt so bad, I can't even lift my shirt over my head without feeling like my shoulders are going to crack off. They say that it causes hot flashes. I've had a couple hot flashes, but I get cold sweats, and it makes my blood sugar irregulated, and I'm, like, teeth chattering, freezing, and, like, feel like I'm gonna faint. Like, it's so bad, it's probably coming out of, like.

[Mimi]

Like, when you go under anesthesia, is that what it feels like?

[Haley]

Yes. Yes. Except you kind of feel good when you come out of anesthesia. This. You feel sick. Oh, I'm talking, like, you feel, like, just physically ill. Nauseous. I've lost weight. I can't eat. Like, it's been so bad. The crazy thing is, is I haven't ever. They say that everything that they've said that happens on this, I haven't had. They said that it makes you angry and, like, I'm, like, weepy. Like, I wanna. I cry, like, because I just feel so bad, you know, My vagina is just shriveled up. Like, where did she go? Like, miss you. Come back, please, baby, come back. Please come back. Like, I'm like, please. All I know is, ladies, if you are in menopause, please Please, please, please go get on hrt. Please, please, please figure out a way to make yourself feel good again. Because if you're suffering through menopause and not doing anything to fix it, you don't have to. Like, this is, this is rough, man. And I truly feel like God put me through this so that I will know exactly how to handle it whenever it does come from my time. And I. A learning lesson but great way to.

[Mimi]

Think about it, honestly.

[Haley]

Yeah, for sure. I do feel like I've been over suppressed and we're probably going to have to cancel this cycle, which is fine. I am completely fine with that. Let's start over. Let's redo it, get it done and over with. I just feel like I'm kind of like wasting. I. I know this is going to sound terrible, but I feel like I'm wasting my life. Like I'm watching my life fly by while I'm just sitting at home having to do these cycles. And it's beyond frustrating. But I guess, you know, it's the sacrifice you have to make if you really want to have a baby. And I mean, when you're pregnant, you have to sit by and watch your life kind of disappear and change over 10 months. So, you know, I'm over here complaining about a month or two and I am thankful for being able to go through this. And like I told. I was praying today in the shower and I was just bawling my eyes out and I was like, thank you, Lord. I was like, I don't know if I can do this. Maybe having a baby isn't in our cards. You know, I don't know. We'll see. But I'm not a. And I'm not a quitter. So we'll figure out what the next steps are after this week. But yeah, I'm never taking Lupron again. Do not care.

[Mimi]

My doctor going through it makes you more appreciative of it.

[Haley]

Absolutely. And then my doctor would finally just bless his heart. I was like telling him about my blood sugar and like I don't feel good. Like I'm literally crashing out at 3:00am p.m. i messaging. They probably are just so ready to get rid of me. Like I'm telling you. You know what? There is. He's so sweet. Dr. Montville is so sweet. But he said the funniest thing and it was such a man answer to a. Such a. An emotional female response. But I was like, you know, I'm falling apart, my teeth are chattering, my blood sugar's off, I Need this. I need. I need to blah, blah, you know? And he goes, oh, eat some fruit. I was like, shake him. I'm like, eat some fruit. I eat fruit every day. Like, what are you talking about?

[Mimi]

Crashes out. That was it.

[Haley]

That was the reason I just went silent. I was just like, you know what? I'm not even gonna reply to this because it's like, you know, doctors are so scientific. It's.

[Mimi]

They're very literal.

[Haley]

It's by the book. It's one size fits all to them. What'd you say?

[Tasha]

Did you eat some fruit?

[Haley]

I. I have watermelon in this bag right here that I feel better. No, I feel like I had the only thing that has been saving me, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna teach you guys a trick while we're on the podcast. The only thing that has been saving me through this entire IVF journey is if you have a hot flash, eat cold watermelon, it shocks your system, and I swear to God, it pulls you out of the hot flash.

[Mimi]

Weird.

[Haley]

Yes. It makes you to where you start, like, kind of shivering afterwards. And electrolytes in your water bottle with powdered magnesium. Game changer. I woke up this morning crashing the out, dude. I was crying. I was. I told my husband, I can't do this anymore. Like. Like, I mean, I. It's low, it's dark. I'm going through a dark time, guys. And I literally drank a half a bottle of this and felt like not myself because I am such a space cadet on this, but so much better, like, relaxed.

[Mimi]

We fully prepared to cancel today. And then she was like, I drink a water. I'm good. And I was like, okay, I'll be right there.

[Haley]

I was like, let's soldier through it. But, yeah, like, this IVF journey is crazy. Especially after 40. It is tough, dude.

[Mimi]

I was gonna say, I can't imagine. I went through it when I was in my 20s. You know, Jason and I went through five years of it, and I couldn't imagine doing that even right now in my 30s. There's just no way. There's so many crash outs I had. I mean, we went years and years and years to go through all of it, and, like, we weren't even getting eggs. We were actually trying to get pregnant. And it would just be like negative test after negative test, and, you know, you go, what is 12 times five? You know, five years worth of it? And then just to finally give up.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

Is. Is crazy. I mean, it's absolutely just draining.

[Haley]

No, it's exhausting it's, you know, and I see all these women on Tick Tock and everybody's kind of like on the IVF train right now, and it's just like, bro, this is some heavy.

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Like, it's not a cakewalk. The first stems I did cakewalk. It was great. Loved it. But it's because my estrogen was high and I was on a different protocol.

[Mimi]

You felt great on estrogen.

[Haley]

Felt this. My skin, I feel like I'm rotting from the inside out. My skin is so dry. My scalp is itching. My cheeks right here, we're itching. Like, it. It's insane. Yeah, it's insane. I never want to go through it again. So today is my. I took my last shot of Lupron last night, and we're hoping to see if my ovaries will start to try to respond, but at this point, I don't care. Like, let's just call it what it is and, you know, figure out another game plan. So. So we'll. We'll figure it out. But Lord have mercy, girls and the IVF world, I love you and thank you for all the you guys post. Because, you know, everybody says Lupron is the devil. It's evil. I don't know how some of these women are taking Lupron for months on end. I've been taking it for seven days and I'm ready to freaking jump off a cliff.

[Mimi]

Like, hold on, Metaphor.

[Haley]

Oh, I've heard about Metformin. I heard it's pretty crazy.

[Mimi]

I put on a sweater and looked at myself in the mirror while on Metaphor Men and had a full blown hysterical breakdown because I didn't like the way it looked. I'm not joking you.

[Tasha]

I do that on nothing.

[Mimi]

Poor Jason. Like, and let's talk about, like, the. The significant other going through it too. Like, you're, you know, Jay's not always there, but, like, I'm sure he's there right now. Like, because he's traveling and everything.

[Haley]

No, I love my husband. He's traveling because I'm making him.

[Mimi]

You're like, get out of the house.

[Haley]

Literally. No. And it's so sweet because my husband respects my space. When I go through something, I don't to want. Want people around me. I want to go through it alone. Him being there is just going to make me more stressed out because I need to worry about his emotions. And, like, I can't even contain my emotions.

[Mimi]

Exactly.

[Haley]

And I think that's pretty mature of us to be able to be like, hey, you know what? My wife doesn't want me at home. I respect it. Because he literally was like, hey, can I come home on Thursday? And I was like, I don't know. Let me. Let me look. And he's like, okay, you know what? I'll sleep on the bus. He's like, but Friday, can I come. Come home? And I'm like, yeah, I should be better by Friday. I'm like, you know, but I think it's. I think when you go on this journey with a significant other, you guys have to be so open and really communicate with each other and be like, bro, listen, like, love you, but we're about to go on a ride. And, you know, thankfully, I have a husband who supports everything, and he's so sweet. He's just like, everything's going to be okay because he's. Jay is not an emotional dude.

[Mimi]

Dude.

[Haley]

He's not a romantic, and he's not an emotional dude. So it's, like, for him to text me and be like, everything's okay, almost made me want to cry because it let me know that he was, like, you know, worried about me.

[Mimi]

You get to see another side of your significant other when you go through ivf.

[Haley]

Yeah, for sure. But I. I love the fact that he's detached from it because, you know, I don't want him to have to go through the emotions like I am, so.

[Mimi]

Absolutely.

[Haley]

In other news, the Diddy trials going on, right?

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Can you pull up the clip of Nancy Grace talking about P. Diddy's Tootsie Roll? No, there's another. What? Hold on. It is the funniest clip. First of all, Nancy Grace, if you ever listen to my podcast, please, come on. She is the OG True crime.

[Mimi]

Yes, she is.

[Haley]

She is. She's been doing it since before any of us were doing it. Like, Nancy Grace, I really feel like, like, pioneered true crime.

[Mimi]

Yes, she did. Of course. Like, she really. She asked the question everyone else is afraid to ask.

[Haley]

She is so funny, dude. I think I might have the clip right here. Okay. Because there's two different ones. I literally lost it when I saw this clip. I cackled so hard at her reaction.

[Mimi]

Okay.

[Haley]

This literally brought joy to my dismal week. Okay. Nancy Grace acting like this. She's so out of pocket. And. And it's hilarious. Like, she's unhinged af. I would hate to have Nancy Grace mad at me.

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Like, could you imagine if she was your mom?

[Mimi]

No.

[Haley]

Does she have kids?

[Bunny]

I don't know that.

[Mimi]

Give it a go. Yeah, give it a go.

[Haley]

If she has kids. I would be so afraid of her while she fucking was mad at me because she's. She's a verbal sniper.

[Mimi]

She has two children.

[Bunny]

Wow.

[Mimi]

Yeah. So Nancy Grace is. Oh, twins.

[Haley]

Wow.

[Mimi]

She may have. Oh, I love it. Nancy Grace's twins. All growing up.

[Haley]

How old is Nancy Grace now?

[Tasha]

She's kind of like Judge Judy.

[Mimi]

She is 65.

[Haley]

I didn't know she was that old. Okay, ready? Watch her face. Watch. Yes.

[Bunny]

Word for word.

[Mimi]

She says she didn't think it would hurt as much due to his lack of length and girth. So she is comparing Combs penis to a Tootsie Roll. And later in that same lawsuit, she.

[Bunny]

Refers to him as Itty Bitty Diddy.

[Mimi]

Okay, Rob Shooter testimony aside, there's really no coming back from that. They're coming back from that.

[Haley]

And I would guess this is a detail.

[Tasha]

It's scandalous.

[Mimi]

And we're talking about.

[Tasha]

It's very, very crazy.

[Haley]

There's so much other. She could have been like, there's no coming back from that. But literally, the Tootsie Roll took her out and she's like, okay. There's no coming back from that.

[Mimi]

That is so, so funny, bro. Get roasted by Nancy Grace, bro.

[Haley]

I cried. It was so funny. I was like, this is so funny. Nancy Grace, please come on the podcast.

[Bunny]

Please. Or let me do a true crime episode with you.

[Haley]

Can we put that in the air?

[Mimi]

Yes. I would love that so much.

[Haley]

Teach me your ways. Let me be the next Nancy Grace. I don't care. I'd get in trouble. I'd be canceled before the show even took off.

[Mimi]

My favorite episode is where she calls the dad out for finding the kid in the basement. It. Have you guys seen that one? Oh, you guys go look that up later. Like, literally, she's interviewing this dad because the son is missing. And they were like, we just got a call. He's in your basement. And the dad's like, what.

[Haley]

Literally?

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

And was he guilty?

[Mimi]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Haley]

What the hell? So crazy how you gotta sit on Nancy Grace's. On Nancy Grace's show and lie to her.

[Mimi]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to lie to her.

[Tasha]

That's nice for you, Paige. Right. Now this daycare got cracked for hiding.

[Haley]

Kids in the basement.

[Tasha]

25 kids in the basement.

[Haley]

I watched Excuses.

[Tasha]

Hidden door.

[Haley]

Yes.

[Tasha]

They're like, there's no kids here.

[Haley]

Why were they hiding them? Did you ever find out why?

[Tasha]

Someone commented and said that they had more kids than they were allowed to have, so they hid them and they didn't have, like, Correct permits and stuff.

[Haley]

Okay, so it wasn't like for trafficking or anything.

[Mimi]

You have to have a certain amount of kids per adult. I get it.

[Haley]

Okay, yeah, got it, got it.

[Tasha]

Yeah, but like to hide. Hide them like in a secret hidden. Like, like it was just also kind of weird. The way they were acting was weird.

[Haley]

Yeah, I know. I watched the whole clip. It was creepy.

[Mimi]

Did you guys see that Annabelle's missing? Yes.

[Haley]

Wait, what?

[Tasha]

You didn't know that?

[Haley]

No, I knew that they moved to.

[Tasha]

New Orleans plantation and then that burned down. And then that one sending it to you right now. Burnt down.

[Haley]

I. I know about those. In New Orleans. Right.

[Tasha]

Someone's like, did she visit that one too? And then apparently, yeah, she's missing.

[Mimi]

Missing?

[Haley]

How is a doll just missing?

[Mimi]

Yeah, so this explains it. Oh, you want me to send it to your tick tock?

[Tasha]

Okay, we need to go to New Orleans.

[Haley]

Not right now. Not while that is on the loose. What are you talking about?

[Mimi]

We're in the rental and we just.

[Tasha]

Look in the back seat and there's.

[Haley]

Life. Just riding the waves of the wind with the wind in her hair. No, I'm good. Not while. Let's get her contained and then maybe. Yes. I've already got enough weird spooky going on in my life. You know what I'm saying?

[Jesse]

She was on her way to Chicago to continue her world tour and somehow has been misplaced. Listen, Lorraine tried to warn you. She said this doll should never be moved because it's extremely dangerous and could unleash evil spirits. A day after she left New Orleans, also 10 prisoners escaped around the same time she was there.

[Haley]

There.

[Jesse]

Now the last set of her going anywhere was in Texas on the 17th, which was a couple days ago. Now it isn't fully official that she is missing, but according to a lot of people, they don't know where she is. Arguably one of the most haunted dolls in reported history. Said to have people who have looked at her long enough get into insane car accidents and almost lose their life because they ended up seeing her in their rearview mirror view mirror.

[Mimi]

Like you just said.

[Haley]

No thank you.

[Mimi]

Can we talk about the fact that Annabelle's on a. A world tour?

[Haley]

Is that a world tour or your girls tour? Like what is happening? What is who's whose mastermind brain idea was behind. Like let's take this crazy ass demonic doll on a tour to terrorize every city she goes in.

[Mimi]

And like that building burns probably like the doll. Like what? That's scary, you guys.

[Tasha]

Did you see the videos that literally look like, spirits leaving that plantation, though.

[Haley]

No, I didn't see that. I saw that it was burned. I didn't see the video, though. But. What. Where was she before she went on her world tour?

[Mimi]

Oh, I have no idea.

[Tasha]

Isn't she in that one? Music.

[Haley]

Give it a goog. Let's find out. Because was she, like, contained, or was she, like.

[Tasha]

She's always in this, like, glass box.

[Haley]

So her being behind a glass box keeps her from blowing up or how did she.

[Tasha]

The spirits.

[Mimi]

No, it's like, where did she live? Where does Annabelle live? Yeah, where did Annabelle live before her world tour? Where did the schedule. Oh, can we book her? Yeah. No.

[Tasha]

Did she come on the podcast?

[Haley]

No.

[Mimi]

Oh, she lived in a museum in Connecticut. She was transported to New Orleans for.

[Tasha]

A paranormal tour return before being returned to Connecticut. So she got lost in Texas and.

[Mimi]

Yeah, in transit, she's now missing.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Tasha]

The Warren's Museum. The Warrens were the ones that were in conjuring. Oh, those are that couple that went to the conjuring house.

[Mimi]

No, thank you. Don't want it.

[Tasha]

Which is real.

[Haley]

What's the backstory, though? Like, why is she so possessed? Do we know? Because I've always heard about how she's so crazy and they have movies about her, right?

[Tasha]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Why is she so possessed? Like, what made her this crazy dog.

[Tasha]

Spirit of a little girl in her or something. But it takes on. Yeah. A demon was the little girl, like.

[Mimi]

Demon who's used to manipulate and terrorize humans.

[Haley]

Yeah, but how did she get possessed?

[Mimi]

Why?

[Haley]

And why did they choose this doll? You know, like, there's a re. Spirits don't just hop into vessel.

[Mimi]

The demon manipulates the doll to appear possessed by a young girl. Tricking its owners. Yeah. The demon uses the doll to terrorize owners, creating a climate of fear. The demon trick. Tricks its owners.

[Tasha]

So why it's using the doll?

[Mimi]

Why the rag doll, though?

[Haley]

Yeah, that's what I'm not understanding.

[Tasha]

Well, it was from a long, long time ago, so that might have been the only thing, like, around.

[Mimi]

Oh, that's true.

[Tasha]

But that's why. That's why I hate dolls. I hate statues, dolls, gnomes, anything like that. Porcelain dolls.

[Haley]

Bye. Yeah, I've never been a doll person.

[Mimi]

Says the Annabelle doll is considered evil because of. According to the Warrens, it was not possessed by a child spirit, but by a demon seeking to possess a human. It was not the doll itself that was evil, but the demonic entity that.

[Tasha]

Used it as a doll, as a vessel.

[Mimi]

Wow. What does it say right underneath this Though, because there is another part. Keep going down. Where? Right here. It says why? They say that the doll behaved strangely and a psychic medium told the student the doll was inhabited by the spirit of a deceased girl named. Oh, so the girl was named Annabelle.

[Haley]

Okay. And was she like abused? Like, why is she so just ready to everybody behavior.

[Mimi]

What made the Annabelle doll evil. Click on that.

[Haley]

Yeah. I feel like we're learning a lot about Annabel.

[Mimi]

The Conjuring universe. All right. According to the Warrens, the original Annabelle doll was purchased as a gift. And soon after, strange and unsettling occurrences began leading them to believe that it was demonic.

[Tasha]

You've seen the Conjuring, right?

[Haley]

No, I won't watch stuff like that. I don't like inviting.

[Tasha]

Have you seen it?

[Haley]

No. Spiritually demonic stuff you guys have not.

[Mimi]

Done when I was.

[Tasha]

That's the most up movie.

[Haley]

When I was exactly right. I want to watch it.

[Mimi]

Yeah. I watched Paranormal Activity and cried.

[Haley]

Is a different type of girl died making that movie, didn't she? Paranormal. Oh, wait, no. That would. That's the poltergeist. Never mind.

[Mimi]

Oh, Lord.

[Haley]

Yeah. Have you ever watched Noise? The little girl who puts her hand on the tv, she ends up dying at like six or seven years old.

[Mimi]

No.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

That's crazy. I did watch the Ring, though.

[Haley]

I watched the Ring too, and that was pretty creepy.

[Mimi]

That was bad.

[Haley]

Like, I don't like horror. Like spiritual.

[Tasha]

Another bad one is Insidious. Insidious.

[Mimi]

Never watched that.

[Tasha]

Terrifying.

[Haley]

I don't like movies that leave me feeling gross afterwards.

[Mimi]

That's true.

[Haley]

I like four.

[Mimi]

I don't like, like spiritually.

[Haley]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mimi]

Mind I can't do.

[Tasha]

What about like Final Destination?

[Haley]

No, I hate that.

[Mimi]

I've watched Final Destination. Did you guys just see what happened during a Final Destination? In the movie, the ceiling collapsed in. In the movie theater, they're watching Final Destination. Ceiling collapses in on them.

[Bunny]

Okay, let's be real. I've had a love hate relationship with push up bras for years. Either they'd gap at the top, dig into my sides, or give that weird, stiff, unnatural lift that felt like armor instead of underwear. Half the time I'd end up adjusting it all day or straight up taking it off the minute I got home. Then I tried the Skims ultimate push up bra and it changed everything. It's the only push up I've worn that actually feels like it was made from my body. No weird gaps, no poking wires. And the lift Chef's kiss. It's supportive. It's super smooth under clothes and gives that naturally fuller shape without looking overdone. It's honestly the first push up that I forgot I'm wearing. The cups mold perfectly, the band doesn't roll or squeeze and it still makes me feel confident and comfortable all day. Skims just gets it When I first got my hands on the Skims Ultimate Push Up Bra, I was honestly skeptical. I've tried so many bras that promise comfort and a good lift, but they either feel too stiff, too bulky or just didn't fit right. The moment I put this one on was game over. It was buttery, soft, hugged all the right places and gave me the kind of lift that felt natural, not forced. It made me feel snatched, but effortless if that makes sense. Confident, supported and actually excited to wear a push up bra again. It's one of those pieces you don't just wear for a look, you wear it because it makes you feel good. Skims really nailed it with this one. What I really love about the Skims Ultimate Teardrop Push up bra is how versatile it is.

[Haley]

It's not just one of those bras.

[Bunny]

You wear for a night out and then shove it to the back of your drawer. The shape is so flattering under everything. Fitted tees, low cut tops, tops. Even those tricky dresses and the straps fully adjustable and actually stay put which feels like a small miracle. I also love that the fabric is super smooth and doesn't show under clothes. It feels luxe without being over complicated. It's one of those rare bras that's cute and functional and honestly, finding both in one piece is a win. Shop the Skims Ultimate Bra Collection and [e-mail] after you place your order, be sure to let them know I sent you select podcast in the survey and be sure to select my show Dumb Blonde in the drop down menu that follows lows. I used to constantly stress about overdraft fees popping up when I least expected them. Like how is it that buying a coffee could turn into a 35 charge? Then there were times that my bills hit before payday and boom. Late fees and saving? Forget it. It felt almost impossible to get ahead when my account was always playing catch up. Switching to Chime checking changed that. No hidden fees, no surprise. Overdraft charges and saving happens automatically. It's honestly been a game changer for my peace of mind. Chime understands that every dollar counts accounts.

[Haley]

And that's why I don't like.

[Tasha]

I've been terrified of tanning.

[Bunny]

I feel like you're just inviting into.

[Haley]

Your life and you're speaking into your life.

[Mimi]

Yeah, I don't like that. I like, like the Rob Zombie very like, you know, that kind of stuff. Like his movie.

[Tasha]

The most intense idea is Twilight.

[Haley]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, like breaking down. I could do Rob Zombie. I like sexy horror. Yeah, I don't like like really graphic horror. I can't watch that. Jay and I both cover our eyes still. Like we can't watch that.

[Tasha]

Like conjuring. Have you Winchester?

[Haley]

No, I don't watch anything scary.

[Tasha]

See that one's like a good story behind it because it's also real. It's about.

[Haley]

So if it's real, I'll watch it.

[Tasha]

Yeah, it's about the. The lady. She was married to the creator of the Winchester rifle.

[Mimi]

And she has that place.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Tasha]

The house where it's like stairs that lead to nowhere. Like doors that just open to nothing.

[Mimi]

Have you ever heard about that? No. It's out by where I grew up. Up. And this woman named Sarah Winchester was essentially believed that she was haunted. So she kept building onto her mansion to trick the ghosts. So, like, the. Like, she said stairs would just go to the ceiling. She'd cut big holes in the ground. She was also like, trap. Yeah. But she. I don't think she was mentally well because even then, she, like, built the house to where she could sit on a certain window, seal open the thing, and she could hear everyone in the house talk the way that she had, like, the architecture made so she could hear the maids in the kitchen. She could hear, like, all these kind of things. And then one time, she got trapped in the house. So, you know, California's on a fault line. Earthquake happened. She was in a certain room, and it shifted the door and locked her inside. And it was like, days before they got her out. But, yeah, she truly believed, like, and she was a very tiny woman. So the house is built for her. So the stairs are very little and, like, the openings are very little. Like, I did the whole tour.

[Tasha]

I want to go home.

[Mimi]

It's beaut. The house is beautiful.

[Haley]

That she thought she could trick go ghosts. It's like, aren't they all knowing? Like, they're like, you know, like, they're just spirits. So they could. They know.

[Mimi]

They know that the. The door.

[Haley]

They know what you're gonna do before you do.

[Mimi]

She was in a psychosis, though. I feel like back in the day, you know, there's such on. And they said, like, she died while the house was. She never stopped construction. She built and built and built. There was never a time in which the house wasn't under construction. Oh, yeah.

[Tasha]

It was crazy probably too.

[Mimi]

I mean, she could have been very lonely. But I mean, also think about. They say the spirits people, because they are the Winchester.

[Tasha]

Like, it's the spirits from victims of.

[Mimi]

The Winchester because there were so many deaths due to it. Kind of crazy. Yeah. So there is a Winchester museum there too.

[Haley]

Oh, maybe I'll watch that one. But definitely. Yeah. Don't want to meet up with Annabelle on tour.

[Mimi]

We're not going to tour.

[Haley]

Yeah. Don't want to meet up with Annabelle on tour. I feel like she would really like us, and that might be a problem. Yeah, yeah.

[Mimi]

She'd be like, I'm the fourth girl. Golden girl.

[Haley]

Yeah. She's like, I want to join the coven, please. Like, no, you're like, for Real, for real.

[Mimi]

Not welcoming.

[Haley]

You can't sit with us. Sorry. No. Did you have anything you wanted to talk about?

[Mimi]

No. Did you guys see the smoke detector in that Airbnb? The husband laid down and looks up at the ceiling and there is a camera. And he was like, that smoke detector doesn't look right. He got up there, untwisted it. There was a camera. It was like. Like where you could, like, plug in USBs and seize in it. It was right above the bed.

[Haley]

This has been happening so much. Like, how creepy do you got to be? I would feel so weird being on the other side of that camera watching somebody else.

[Tasha]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Could you imagine? Like, you got to be a real creep.

[Mimi]

That happened in middle Tennessee. Did you guys hear about the guy who was installing cameras in the back of toilets?

[Haley]

I. Okay, first of all, why do you want to see that angle?

[Mimi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Haley]

So what pleasure does that angle bring you?

[Mimi]

Where the flusher was. He would mount it so it looked like part of the toilet. And it was in, like, parks. So it was like he had a lot of kids porn and stuff. Yeah. It happened through. They caught him. It was like within middle Tennessee. He was like, at a bunch of different places. He got caught because he installed one in a hotel and that. They traced it back and then when they found all his footage and everything. He had been doing this for a long time.

[Haley]

Yeah. What do you gain from that?

[Mimi]

Maybe it's like, you know what the people role play. They're like watching, like, very cuck. Right.

[Haley]

It's voyeurism, I guess is what it would be called. But still, I love voyeurism. Like, when you watch other people have sex, like, that's hot. But to watch people taking a dump, like, what in the brings you pleasure? Yeah, yeah.

[Mimi]

Like, that's so strange.

[Haley]

Like, what. Why do you want the angle of the poop coming out of the butthole? Like, what does that do for you? Like, that's weird.

[Tasha]

Have you seen the Airbnb where they, like, live there still?

[Haley]

No. Like, the old.

[Tasha]

These people, they were getting up. They, like, heard something in the kitchen. They get up and it's some old man. He's just cooking breakfast. He's like, oh, I'm just.

[Mimi]

I live here.

[Tasha]

There's like a hidden door. He went back and he would go back in his little thing in his little room.

[Mimi]

But do you remember that happened to us that time we were in Miami? To refresh my memory, we rented that mansion to shoot a music video.

[Tasha]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

And they were in the garage which music video? The one with the feathers. The feather music video.

[Haley]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mimi]

Then they. They opened the doors of the a garage that was on the property, and they were sleeping in there, and the owners came out and yelled at us for shooting the music video. They were literally in the garage on the property.

[Haley]

Why? For? I feel like Airbnb is not doing anything to protect their house.

[Mimi]

No, they don't remember.

[Tasha]

I thought it. In the Texas house we stayed at. I literally thought. I was like, they're staying in the garage because, like, it was blacked out. It was blacked out. There was no windows. There was a code to it. And, like, I kept hearing. We kept hearing stuff, and I was like, I feel like they're in the garage.

[Haley]

Which Texas house?

[Tasha]

The one I was creeped the out at.

[Haley]

Oh, the really nice one.

[Mimi]

Yeah. Because I went around to the back, and I was like, man, like, they. They blacked the windows out from the inside. But I thought maybe it was just because, like, you know, they keep their stuff in there, essentially. But then she was like, I swear they're in there. She was, like, listening to the garage door.

[Tasha]

Yeah, I was.

[Haley]

I mean, there was a moment where I was listening.

[Tasha]

There was a moment where we all were.

[Haley]

There could be people in there.

[Tasha]

Yeah.

[Haley]

I was not involved in this conversation.

[Tasha]

We didn't tell you until after we left.

[Haley]

I would have kicked down the door, actually.

[Tasha]

We're just telling you right now.

[Haley]

Nobody told me about.

[Mimi]

Waded to tell you about the cockroach, too.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

Do you remember the big ass?

[Tasha]

Literally, like, Mitch big.

[Mimi]

She picked up her food and ran away with it. She was like, I was scared it was going to get my food.

[Haley]

That dude's been munching on something. If he was that big, he was girthy. He would have wrestled you. He would have wrestled you for your food, bro.

[Tasha]

He would have. He would have won.

[Mimi]

We. Luckily we have Jaime now, guys, because between. Well, except for the spider. You didn't go for the spider that was with you.

[Tasha]

That spider was massive. You remember the spider in the other Texas house?

[Haley]

I can't remember anything right now. I'm in medical.

[Mimi]

Giant spider that all of us. You and Tosh had to kill that spider.

[Haley]

That thing? Yes.

[Mimi]

No help in that. But he wasn't helpful with the. The. He went after the cockroach, screamed like a female.

[Haley]

Like, everybody's like, jaime is such a great addition. I'm like, you have no idea. He's literally the fourth female.

[Mimi]

It's the fourth. It's like the butcher female who can, like, carry the suitcases but won't kill the spider.

[Haley]

Yeah, I'll have the itinerary, but don't have me, you know, crushing spiders. I will not do that. No, like, Jaime is literally just one of us. It's the funniest ever.

[Mimi]

Golden Girl. It's great. Yeah.

[Haley]

Well, I'm excited about going out of the country with Post Malone and Daddy too.

[Tasha]

I keep seeing nothing but castles and.

[Mimi]

Stuff on my tik toks that you're sending us.

[Haley]

I'm excited. I really, truly cannot wait to just get out of the country. We're going to be gone for like a month. It's going to be wild.

[Tasha]

Going to be great.

[Haley]

None of us have ever been out of the country that long and never been to any of these places, so.

[Tasha]

None of us have been to Europe.

[Haley]

Yeah, it's going to be a world tour. The coven takes on Europe. We should actually make that the Bunny Xo show for a month.

[Mimi]

Let's do it.

[Haley]

Takes on Europe.

[Haley]

I wanted to draw attention to my nails because I've had a. They're beautiful. I've had a couple people in the comments and they're like, what happened to your nails? What are you doing with your nails?

[Bunny]

And.

[Haley]

And honestly, I don't know. I literally just when I got crunch, I went, I had my fake nails.

[Bunny]

On and I went to go scratch in his ears and I got a.

[Haley]

Whole bunch of like underneath my nails, right? And I was like, this is disgusting. I was like, but I want to be able to love on my animals. So I took my nails off and then I was just like, you know what, let me just keep getting manicures. And then my real nails started growing out. I don't know if we can zoom into these bad boys. Okay. Because this is hard work, baby. My real nails have been growing out. These are my real nails. So I'm gonna try to grow them out as long as I can and see if I can keep them that length. And if I can, then I'm just.

[Bunny]

Gonna rock my real nails, baby.

[Mimi]

So, I mean, I feel like we're making like a shift in the nails right now. Yeah, like a lot me except for that one.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

A lot of girls are kind of going a little shorter. Like. Yeah, I've noticed we went from like, not even cutting the acrylics to like, oh, I'll take a little bit off. And even now this is very short. Short for me.

[Haley]

I think it's all.

[Mimi]

Love it.

[Haley]

Yeah.

[Bunny]

I think it's stages.

[Haley]

I mean, I miss my long claws and I wouldn't mind having them back, but not as long as they were because now I, you know, I love my farm animals and I'm doing farm, but if I can get my real nails to grow out, you know, probably about that much longer. And if I like Them. There's no reason.

[Mimi]

I mean, keep the almond.

[Haley]

I'll probably do. There's a. A shape called ballerina that I want to do, and it's so pretty. So I think that's what I'll do. I'll have to show you what the ballerina nails are.

[Mimi]

I'd love to see that.

[Haley]

I'm only doing the alm right now while they're growing out, but, yeah, I love it. I actually love just having my real nails. I took my Monroe out. My hair is darker. Like, we're going through a season right now.

[Mimi]

You're morphine.

[Bunny]

I'm morphing.

[Haley]

But I really feel like I'm just kind of, like, going back to my natural state.

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Which is what I preach to everybody. Like, I tell girls, I'm like, I know in your 20s and 30s, you want this, you want the Botox, you want the fillers, you want all this. And then, you know, when you get into your 40s, you literally start going back to your natural state.

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

You know, like, I haven't had filler under my. In my face, besides my lips in two years. I had. You know, I get Botox now once every six months.

[Mimi]

I know this is, like, the longest you had been going. It's crazy.

[Bunny]

Yeah.

[Haley]

And I. And I like it. It's just. I don't know. I'm just in that phase of my life. Granted. You know, six months from now, I might slap my nails back on and bleach my hair again or, you know, like. You never know now, but I feel.

[Bunny]

Like we're just riding the wave, you know, I just.

[Haley]

I'm sitting on a farm with cows.

[Mimi]

Yeah.

[Haley]

Why do I need to be high maintenance? You know, but, you know, for. We're definitely gonna put more blonde in my hair, but still keep my roots.

[Mimi]

You have such a beautiful natural base. People like you never wear it. It's such a beautiful tone that. Just integrating that into the blonde. You wouldn't even need a low light. You just keep your. Your natural base. And it's so pretty.

[Bunny]

Well, I apprec.

[Haley]

But yeah, I just figure I'm sitting with my cows. There's no need to be high maintenance right now. And I'm just kind of like, evolving into the next chapter of my life, you know? So if you see me without my.

[Bunny]

Nails on now, you know why?

[Haley]

If you see them with me back, we'll see them back on. Then you'll know I just got tired of the real nails or I couldn't grow them out any longer.

[Mimi]

You know, you're like, they gave up.

[Haley]

Yeah. Literally.

[Mimi]

Oh, the boycott of the Lilo and Stitch movie.

[Haley]

What happened with the Lilo and Stitch movie?

[Mimi]

They changed the ending and they took one of the main characters out. I haven't seen it yet.

[Tasha]

What?

[Mimi]

But I have been told there is a change in the storyline and a main character isn't in there. So I'm gonna go see it. I'm taking my kids.

[Tasha]

Can you let me know? Because I would like to go with you.

[Mimi]

Yeah. Would you like to go see Lilo and Stitch?

[Haley]

Oh, don't act you're inviting me now. You guys have never invited me to anything you guys do.

[Tasha]

I invited myself.

[Haley]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tasha]

So we will all go see Lilo and Stitch.

[Mimi]

We will all. Let's go see Lilo and Stitch. At least it's not a musical like the last one we did.

[Tasha]

Who knows? It might be.

[Mimi]

No, please don't. If they give me another musical immediately. When they started singing in Snow White. Sh.

[Tasha]

He was not even five minutes in. We all looked at each other. We were like, what the.

[Haley]

Why are they doing that?

[Mimi]

I don't get it.

[Haley]

They're ruining amazing movies and turning them into musicals. And you know who loves them?

[Mimi]

It.

[Bunny]

Bailey.

[Haley]

Bailey's a Broadway kid.

[Mimi]

She.

[Haley]

She is. She a Broadway kid. She loves that. So are they catering to kids like Bailey? I don't understand because I know grown ass adults. We don't want to sit there and watch the Hills Are Alive or whatever they. The Sound of Music. We don't want to watch that.

[Mimi]

No, I don't. I don't want. If I want to go see a musical, prepare me. I was not prepared for Snow White to be a full blown musical the entire time. I don't get it. Lilo and Stitch better not be that way. Way. I might throw a fit.

[Haley]

I think the Internet would have already let us know if it was a tricol.

[Mimi]

I don't know. We didn't know about the joke. And Joker, Remember when the Lady Gaga one, we were like, I didn't go to that. Getting ready to go.

[Haley]

Remember?

[Mimi]

Yeah. We were in, like, Ocean City or whatever, and they rented that the. The movie theater. We're like, all right, let's go. And then he text you and said, it's a musical. You said, I'm not going.

[Haley]

Yeah. Not going. Literally, our whole family during COVID was so into. What's that fucking TV show? Dynasty. I think it was whenever. I think it's what it's called, Dynasty. It's a. It was a spin off from the Real Dynasty. That was like a huge hit in the 80s.

[Mimi]

Gotcha.

[Bunny]

We loved it.

[Haley]

I mean, the whole family, we all sat down and watched it. It was like family movie night. That's what we did. Fudgeing. I think the third or fourth season.

[Bunny]

They turned it into a musical.

[Mimi]

What?

[Haley]

And we were like, get the fuck out of here. And we stopped watching. Like, they completely ruined an amazing frickin like series and turned it into a music.

[Mimi]

Absolutely not.

[Haley]

They gotta stop doing that.

[Mimi]

I mean, no, absolutely. I can't walk out.

[Tasha]

I finally finished you.

[Haley]

Huh?

[Tasha]

She finished you.

[Mimi]

How'd you feel about the ending?

[Haley]

Oh, good.

[Mimi]

We're not ruining anything. Just I threw a fit. She goes, you know, that's like the end of the series. I said, what?

[Tasha]

Yeah, like, no, Loki pissed me off.

[Mimi]

Yeah, pissed me off. I'm done. I don't. I threw a few it.

[Haley]

All right, guys, I gotta go home and sit in my medical menopause state. Hopefully next time I see you guys, I will be feeling much better.

[Bunny]

But I love you guys so much. Starting your own business can be intimidating. You end up wearing every hat. Marketing, shipping, customer service. It gets overwhelming and lonely fast. When I started this podcast, we were figuring everything out on our own. I wish we'd had Shopify back then.
