[Manny Mua]

Mom, can you tell me a story?

[Laura Lee]

Sure.

[Carvana Announcer]

Once upon a time, a mom needed a new car.

[Laura Lee]

Was she brave?

[Carvana Announcer]

She was tired mostly. But she went to Carvana.com and found a great car at a great price. No secret treasure map required.

[Laura Lee]

Did you have to fight a dragon?

[Carvana Announcer]

Nope. She bought it 100% online from her bed, actually.

[Manny Mua]

Was it scary, honey?

[Carvana Announcer]

It was as unscary as car buying could be.

[Laura Lee]

Did the car have a sunroof?

[Carvana Announcer]

It did, actually. Okay, good story. Car buying you'll want to tell stories about. Buy your car today on Carvana. Delivery fees may apply.

[Manny Mua]

Are you on? Are you mic'd? Yeah. Fuck, yeah. It's time for boopy cleanup, baby. The poop deck, as they call it. You would have to have.

[Laura Lee]

I would have to have me love.

[Manny Mua]

We met at the perfect time.

[Laura Lee]

We do.

[Manny Mua]

But the product is so sickening.

[Laura Lee]

Welcome to your favorite podcast. It's full coverage with your host, Laura

[Manny Mua]

Lee and Manny Mua.

[Laura Lee]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Manny Mua]

And we're back in our news.

[Laura Lee]

Jazz hands. Jazz hands. Jazz hands.

[Manny Mua]

You guys, we're. I'm so. Did you see the comments from last episode? The girlies are living for the podcast, and I'm so glad that you guys are enjoying it, too.

[Laura Lee]

I'm glad you guys really like it.

[Manny Mua]

We love it.

[Laura Lee]

We've been through so much with our podcast studios that I was already like, if you guys don't like it, I don't care.

[Manny Mua]

And I hate to say that I

[Laura Lee]

sound brash, but we've just been through so much. We've just been through so much. So, you know, sometimes you have to be like, I don't need any other validation from this project other than my own. But to see positive comments shared brings joy to my heart.

[Manny Mua]

Same.

[Laura Lee]

I'm very happy that you guys like it.

[Manny Mua]

Same. Because. Especially because, like, since you guys are watching it, it's like, I'm so glad that you guys enjoy it because we want to be an environment that makes us feel good. So it's nice that it feels good for you watching. You know what I mean?

[Laura Lee]

That does feel good.

[Manny Mua]

And I feel great in here.

[Laura Lee]

But I have, like, a guard around my heart, of course. With Podcast Studio.

[Manny Mua]

Oh.

[Laura Lee]

I'm, well, very guarded in my Mental health.

[Manny Mua]

That's because we're. We're scarred.

[Laura Lee]

We were scarred.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. But besides that, we're gonna do a little rapid fire today. And by the way, we're filming, like, in the middle of the night.

[Manny Mua]

You guys, it's 8pm the middle of the night. We. Us.

[Laura Lee]

We up. We did.

[Manny Mua]

Because we had so much happening. It's because we had a lot happening this week.

[Laura Lee]

Yes.

[Manny Mua]

More so Laura's fault.

[Laura Lee]

It is my fault completely, actually.

[Manny Mua]

I. Of course he's understanding. No, man.

[Laura Lee]

He was understanding. Okay. That this is my pit. Oh, yeah, do it.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, yeah. Honestly, a real pit, though.

[Laura Lee]

It is a real pit. But it sounds so pathetic because it's like, girl, get a life. But I have this workout class and this teacher, he's very, very popular, but it's my favorite workout of the week, and I've been going to the studio for three years, and this next class is going to be my 300th class.

[Manny Mua]

No way.

[Laura Lee]

Yes.

[Manny Mua]

Like, actual 300300.

[Laura Lee]

I can show you in the app. I'm at 299 right now.

[Manny Mua]

I love that.

[Laura Lee]

So I'm really excited.

[Manny Mua]

And it is your last class.

[Laura Lee]

It is. So that's the fucking pit from hell. So I signed. So this class is so popular, you have to sign up for a month in advance. Not weeks, a month. Which. That's crazy.

[Manny Mua]

Can you sign up for a multiple at a time, though, and just go.

[Laura Lee]

You can sign up for four ahead.

[Manny Mua]

Great.

[Laura Lee]

But the problem is, is, like, you have to stay on top of it because once you. The next week starts, everybody tries to bomb Russia and, like, grab that class, and the class gets so full that you can't be put on a wait list.

[Manny Mua]

Got it.

[Laura Lee]

Like, it gets past the wait list. So basically, it's my favorite. It's a heated class. I've been to this place forever. But so I'm. I signed up for it for tomorrow, which is the day we always film the podcast. And so I went to be like, oh, that's okay. I can just take it another day. Thursday we have a event. Yeah, can't take it Thursday because it's only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So then I was like, the following week, I could take it. Can't. I'm not. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm gone. Then I was like, the following week, signed up full. Following week, signed up full. So the next time I'll be able to take it is sometime in June. So I'd have to take a month off my class if we weren't filming at 8pm and it's the you do

[Manny Mua]

the you do for like something that you like really are passionate about, like something you really care about.

[Laura Lee]

It's like my favorite little thing I get to do for myself.

[Manny Mua]

Yes, it's like your thing and just.

[Laura Lee]

And like so now I get to do it this week because we rearranged our whole entire lives and schedules for me. But I don't get to take it again till June, which is, that's so. And to take that much time off.

[Manny Mua]

That's why I know. Cuz like for example, that's like me, like I, I make happen for like my volleyball games. So I know.

[Laura Lee]

What if they were having games but you were not able to participate till June and like you were gonna miss out. You'd be pissed.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah, exactly.

[Laura Lee]

I'm so pissed.

[Manny Mua]

That's how I would feel the exact same. And I'm sure like, especially like there's people I feel like are really like work out class people that like enjoy a class. So I feel like those girlies will understand like that are like. Yes.

[Laura Lee]

You know what's crazy? I like, I'm friends with the instructor, but I don't talk to anyone else in there too. I just love this class. It's so hard.

[Manny Mua]

That's why you like and none of

[Laura Lee]

the other classes are hard enough for me. Because when you're 300 classes in, I mean, you're gonna have to find something that challenges you.

[Manny Mua]

Right.

[Laura Lee]

You know, you're really.

[Manny Mua]

And this one challenges.

[Laura Lee]

This is so challenging. But it's so much fun.

[Manny Mua]

And it's worth it because it's like you're actually tired after.

[Laura Lee]

Oh and dripping.

[Manny Mua]

Literally.

[Laura Lee]

This is a class that's like 115, 120 degrees and it's like a boot camp. It's not like a little pulse, pulse, pulse. It's more like a pick up your heavy weights and do burpees, do push ups.

[Manny Mua]

Oh my God.

[Laura Lee]

Hold a plank for an entire song. Like it's tough and like it really challenges me.

[Manny Mua]

And in the heat and in the hottest heat, that's why it's like crazy.

[Laura Lee]

It's literally insane. Women hold up way stronger in the class than men. You know how people's energy beside you, like if they keep going, it can motivate you to keep going. Every time I'm by a man, I'm so disappointed because men are flops in the class. They can't do.

[Manny Mua]

They try.

[Laura Lee]

They can't. But the women will keep going a lot of these. No, seriously, the men cannot. No. Pilates destroyed you. Which was hysterical, by the way.

[Manny Mua]

Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, it's like. I think that it's just like a. Biologically, we suck.

[Laura Lee]

It feels like fight or flight.

[Manny Mua]

Is it fight or flight? Maybe that's why.

[Laura Lee]

Fight or flight. From what I'm witnessing, I think men are flops.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah, I agree. Like, I literally think. I think that's literally what it is. They always say, too, that, like, they always, like. Or, like, not me always say, but they always make videos of, like, let's say men trying parties and parties. And men are always, like, going through the gigs, doing. And when we're like this or whatever.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. They can't.

[Manny Mua]

Like, for some reason, it's just like. It's like a known thing that men just kind of flop at that.

[Laura Lee]

They flop.

[Manny Mua]

I can't confirm. I also flopped it too.

[Laura Lee]

They're so floppy. So every time a man gets by me, I'm like, you're not gonna motivate me. Get the away.

[Manny Mua]

And also, you're just like a man next to you.

[Laura Lee]

Also, it's terrible.

[Manny Mua]

There's also that. Just get away from me.

[Laura Lee]

It's terrible.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah, my pit is when it's like pit. I mean, it was a. It was a funny situation I'm just gonna use. So basically, we went to New York this weekend, which we will talk about as, like, our, like, joint peak, because we went to New York and it was really, really sick. But when I got back home, mind you, we landed so late.

[Laura Lee]

Me and Manny both took. How crazy is this? Me and Manny both took Red Eyes out of New York. But we were on different planes and different airlines because the planes airline filled up and there wasn't enough. So we had to take completely separate flights, which we almost missed by the hair or our chin on our chinny chin chin.

[Manny Mua]

And I have hair on my chin a lot. Hey. Yeah. So basically we. We land. It's like 10:30pm at this point, and I'm like, really quite tired. And my driver sent me, like, a text. He's like, hey, I'm here to pick you up. And I'm like, okay, cool. Like, I'm at carousel three. And he's like, oh, well, they didn't hire us for that. Like, they hired us to get you at curbside. I was like, okay, cool. Like, all good. I'll meet you at the curbside. But it was just, like, so, like, kind of abrupt. And I was like, okay, like, all good. Like, I'll I'll just text you when I'm getting my bag, and I'll go from there. And I was like, okay, cool. So I'm, like, waiting, and the pack's taking so long, you guys. It looked forever to come in, so I finally got it, and I said, I'm like, hey, I'm coming out now. I'll see you at the thing. Tell me what letter you're at. I'm like, great. Sounds good. So I told him what letter I was at, and I'm, like, waiting there. It's been, like, five minutes. And I'm like, yo. Like, what the. So I text him, and I'm like, hey. Like, I'm at the letter. Like, this letter. Like, just. What's your eta? You know?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

He was like, oh, there's traffic. And I'm like, okay. Well, I thought you were, like, already here. You said that you're here. And he's like, yeah, I'm coming. I'm coming. So I'm like, cool. So I'm waiting there, waiting there. Another five minutes goes by. I'm just kind of like. Like, whatever. I look over, and I see, like, this, like, just couple, like, at the next column over. A column over. Not by me.

[Laura Lee]

Not a letter column.

[Manny Mua]

Because I remember looking for this very specific car because it gives you a license plate in the car. So I'm looking at the column, I see this couple getting to this car, and I see it starting to, like, kind of go off. And I look at the license. That's my license. When I tell you guys, I ran over to the column, so these people were getting with my bags, and I'm like, what the. So then I literally am like. As I run. As I run over to the next.

[Laura Lee]

Bang on the car window.

[Manny Mua]

And I'm like. And I'm like, who are you supposed to be picking up? That's what I say. We supposed to be picking up. And he's like, manny. And I'm like, I'm Manny. I was at that column right there, and I'm like. And I'm doing this, and I'm doing this. And basically, he picked up the wrong people at the wrong time. So then he goes. He, like, kind of looks back at them, and he's like, I gave you guys my license plate.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

And you guys said, yes.

[Laura Lee]

What the hell?

[Manny Mua]

And so apparently, the couple that got in the car. Idiots.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Had said, oh, yeah, that's us. So they were just gonna go to my house. Are you guys stupid?

[Laura Lee]

Like, what is the plan, babe? What?

[Manny Mua]

I Literally. So then, of course, I look at them. I'm like, sorry, guys, you gotta get out. I. This is me. And so they get out, and they were on my flight too.

[Laura Lee]

You better stop it right now.

[Manny Mua]

They said, I'm not kidding you. Maybe, like, two seats behind me. I recognized a couple. And I go, if I wasn't just, like, locked in looking for the license place in the car, they would have just drove it off, went to my home.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. And they would have been feeding your dog.

[Manny Mua]

I was. I just couldn't. I just couldn't believe us.

[Laura Lee]

I literally ran by her hair.

[Manny Mua]

I did. I needed her to get out immediately. And him. Both of them.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, I know. We were ready to go.

[Manny Mua]

He's like, sorry. And I'm like, you're lucky I caught you, because I would have been very upset because I was already struggling with the car beforehand.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Manny Mua]

On our way.

[Laura Lee]

Yes. Oh, my God. Let me tell you something. This.

[Manny Mua]

The car. They're done. They're done.

[Laura Lee]

They're done.

[Manny Mua]

I'm done.

[Laura Lee]

So the car service leaves Manny. And then my car service went to the wrong hotel. So me and Manny are walking out of the photo shoot. We're in hills. We're in full blame. And we're like. The photo shoot ran late, so we were an hour late going to the airport. And the problem is we have to check a bag, and you have to be there at least one hour before your flight, which you're already pushing it at that, but to. In order to check the bag. And so what it's looking like is, like. Traffic is, like, at a stand still. It was.

[Manny Mua]

Because we left later than usual.

[Laura Lee]

We left way later. So traffic was getting worse and worse. It was just growing and growing. So we were not gonna pull up before our flight, so we were screwed. And then the driver was driving. Snell, Glacier Pace. Glacier Pace, you guys.

[Manny Mua]

So we had, like. We had. So we actually had different cars getting us because we have different airlines. So we're flying same airport, different airlines, but we're only 15 minutes apart, our actual flight taking. So. Okay, cool. Like, we should be able to actually leave at the same time and just kind of go. I go outside because the driver is like, hey, like, whatever. They text me that they're here. The shoot's running a little late, so we're in the middle of, like, shooting, and I go downstairs, and I look at my missed calls and voice notes. Okay. Or my voicemails. I look at it, and I transcribe it, and I listen to it, and they're like, hey, since you were a half an hour late to your little pickup time, we actually just released your drivers. Like, thank you so much. So my driver wasn't there anymore.

[Laura Lee]

And so I'm like, manny, it's cool, because you can just hop in the car with me because my driver has a few more minutes to wait, and we're good. We can just use my driver. He can drop us off at two different terminals. So I call my driver. He's like, yeah, I'm here at the hotel.

[Manny Mua]

And I was like, thank God Lori Haswer is here.

[Laura Lee]

Like, I'm not seeing your car, sir. He's like, I'm at the Howard.

[Manny Mua]

I was like, oh, we're not the Howard.

[Laura Lee]

We're not at the Howard. We're not at the Howard.

[Manny Mua]

So hers went to the a different hotel. Mine completely ditched me.

[Laura Lee]

And we're an hour late. So we call an Uber and have to wait on a Uber. And the Uber we get. We're talking so loud in the car. We're like, we're gonna miss our flight.

[Manny Mua]

We were quite obvious about, like. Like, it was like, context clues.

[Laura Lee]

And, babe, he was like, I mean,

[Manny Mua]

eventually, I was like, yeah, we're actually really trying to make this. Can you, like, time?

[Laura Lee]

Can you get there? Manny was like, wait, what are we gonna.

[Manny Mua]

You guys, honestly, though, I was hungry at that time, and I was stressed. I'm really cranky.

[Laura Lee]

One biscuit from McDonald's, you guys.

[Manny Mua]

I had to McGriddle that day.

[Laura Lee]

It is now, like, 5:30, and we have not had one. Not a snack, not a chip, not a morsel, not a crumb. We have had water since 9am it is 5:30pm me and him are starved, and we're about to miss our flight, and the driver will not go.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, I was getting.

[Laura Lee]

And we're literally. Manny's in full glam going to the airport. I'm literally high heels running to the security.

[Manny Mua]

Like, the little fluffy shirt. Yeah, you guys, I went through all tsa, went through everything. Fully painted, full lash on living. Oh, they were. The divas were living, which was really fun. I always forget because I'm not as, like, out in, like, structured public going through full glam as much anymore. Like, I just don't do as much.

[Laura Lee]

I mean, I want to get.

[Manny Mua]

Yes. But, like, honestly, I got stopped by many women that were like, oh, my God. You're like, your makeup is crazy. Like, just so. They were just so sweet and so cool. Like, the TSA people were so sweet and cool. So it was Just more so. Like, I was as long as I knew I could just check my bag. I don't give a. After that.

[Laura Lee]

I love when you're full glam and I'm full glam. Women are like, did he do your makeup?

[Manny Mua]

Every time.

[Laura Lee]

Every time. And I'm like, no, the. He didn't do my makeup. I did my makeup.

[Manny Mua]

But I could.

[Laura Lee]

But because you're a gay guy, you did my. You did my beat. Every straight women can beat, too.

[Manny Mua]

And also, I'm like, she actually did my makeup, period.

[Laura Lee]

We should do a bit.

[Manny Mua]

Okay. So, like, so that was the crazy part of New York, but the good part of New York was everything.

[Laura Lee]

There were so many good.

[Manny Mua]

It was fudgeing crazy. It was so good.

[Laura Lee]

It was so good.

[Manny Mua]

New York this last year was, like, honestly, phenomenal.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, we had an amazing time. We went there with Charlotte Tilbury. We were part of a campaign in which we cannot speak on just yet.

[Manny Mua]

The product is so sickening.

[Laura Lee]

God, they've needed this product.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah. Honestly. And I just feel like it just, like, really fits their line so good. So I'm really. So we went with Charlotte Tilbury. I actually end up going a day early to watch Devil's product out there with l', Oreal, too. And that was amazing. I love Devil wars product, too. They did it justice.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, good.

[Manny Mua]

Which I feel like, is. It can get a little spooky out there with. With sequels, honey.

[Laura Lee]

They've disappeared.

[Manny Mua]

I'm actually, like, when I'm watching a movie for the first time, I'm like, I can be critical, but not that critical. Like, I'm like, okay, I'm enjoying my vibes or whatever. If I'm watching a sequel, I tend to be a little more critical because I already have a vibe of what I want to see, you know? But this one didn't disappoint me.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, I'm glad to hear that.

[Manny Mua]

I really am excited for you to

[Laura Lee]

watch it, because I was hesitant.

[Manny Mua]

But Friday was great. The Friday we had, that was, like, our freer stay.

[Laura Lee]

We got to go shopping, got breakfast. Oh, you're wearing a belt. It does. It looks really good.

[Manny Mua]

I just honestly needed a belt, but it's a cute little.

[Laura Lee]

Looks really cute. Cute little Diesel bell. And then we went to see Chicago with Whitney. So we. Charlotte Tilbury knew we wanted to see Chicago, so they got us tickets to see it. They got angels fucking seats in the house.

[Manny Mua]

Oh.

[Laura Lee]

We were like, oh, the seats were sickening.

[Manny Mua]

Seats are sickening. Like, the whole team, honestly, the team. The show team.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, they're amazing.

[Manny Mua]

So it was just really cool to go there, especially with, like, a brand that, like, stuff I really like. And Chicago was incredible. Like, you guys, I never seen Chicago before. I didn't know what Chicago was even.

[Laura Lee]

We both went in with blindness because we didn't want to look up, like, what it's about. We wanted to.

[Manny Mua]

We already knew. We didn't know what it was about.

[Laura Lee]

The reviews were so good on it. We were like, okay, we just have to see it. It's about murder and treachery.

[Manny Mua]

And apparently there's a movie of Chicago as well. And everyone keeps, like, damning me, like, you have to watch Chicago, the movie.

[Laura Lee]

So good.

[Manny Mua]

But it was really crazy.

[Laura Lee]

I know her last day was Sunday, so she's done with Broadway. She said she did six months, eight shows a week. Girl, you get Wednesdays off, she does

[Manny Mua]

a double on you after.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, so the curtain closes during intermission. It's like a 15 minute break for people to go to the bathroom. And like, in between the show and as soon as the curtain closes, freaking Whitney, who was literally right on stage one second ago, literally starts dming me. And she's like, are you at my show? And I was like, like, how are you dming me right now? You literally must still be on the stage. Like, where did you even get your phone? But she was like, come back. You tell. I was like, I'm here with Manny. She was like, you both come backstage. She was like, I want to show you backstage. So we got to go backstage. We get to go on the stage. And we got to meet Mark, which we hadn't met Mark.

[Manny Mua]

Mark was so sweet too. Mark is also in. Was in Chicago as well.

[Laura Lee]

Incredible.

[Manny Mua]

Like, I just loved that so much to see them both, like, apparently they

[Laura Lee]

were, like, breaking records with the box office for sure.

[Manny Mua]

It was blown out.

[Laura Lee]

Bl out.

[Manny Mua]

It was crazy. And also, like, just in general, just Chicago in general. I was blown away with, like, the production. I was blown away.

[Laura Lee]

So good.

[Manny Mua]

Her co star that's in it is phenomenal.

[Laura Lee]

The dancers, like, everyone's just so phenomenal.

[Manny Mua]

There's so many hot guys in It.

[Laura Lee]

I don't, by the way, I hate musical movies, and I want to make that very clear. There is nothing like a Broadway play. There is nothing like it.

[Manny Mua]

You know what? It is too top tier, though. It is.

[Laura Lee]

It's like top tier talent.

[Manny Mua]

There's also, like, something about watching people do what they're meant to do. Like, there's something about that.

[Laura Lee]

That is why I love going to Broadway the most. I get to see a person play out their passions because their dream. And there's nothing better than seeing a. Seeing someone get to do what they love.

[Manny Mua]

Yes. It's so cool.

[Laura Lee]

Better.

[Manny Mua]

And they have talent. So literally on top of it. Like, they're living out their entire dream. And they're so good at that thing that they booked Broadway

[Laura Lee]

York. I feel like it's very top.

[Manny Mua]

Pinnacle.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, It's a pinnacle 100.

[Manny Mua]

So, like, I feel like at that point, when you're in a Broadway that's like, okay, the next thing is probably to, like, do another show that's on Broadway and, like, kind of like have, like, diversify your portfolio in some ways and things like that. To do different roles and different things and see, like, if you could do those things, I'm sure it's incredible. It's so cool. Or maybe act too.

[Laura Lee]

That was like, one of the coolest things ever. And then the next day, we went and shot with Charlotte Tilbury for the campaign.

[Manny Mua]

With actual Charlotte, too.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, that was our both of our first time meeting Charlotte. So she's amazing. Oh, she's a good time love, I'll tell you that.

[Manny Mua]

She's our vibe.

[Laura Lee]

Like, I feel like she is our vibe.

[Manny Mua]

She just, like. She just, like, is literally our vibe.

[Laura Lee]

I recommended Dr. Groot to her.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, let me tell you something.

[Laura Lee]

She was like, how do you.

[Manny Mua]

She. Laura was literally like, what? Like that head of hair. And I'm like, I want it. Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

I was like, I swear it's mine. Like, there's no extensions. She was like, no, I know, but how do I get it? And I was like, seriously? I've been on Dr. Groot and Manny has, too. We've been using that miracle and shower treatment for years. Tyler uses it too. Like, everybody uses it to tie is a rosemary treatment. It's, like, proven to.

[Manny Mua]

It's amazing.

[Laura Lee]

Make your hair grow healthy.

[Manny Mua]

And I use a shampoo and I use a conditioner.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

I use the entire system.

[Laura Lee]

It's incredible.

[Manny Mua]

I'm obsessed.

[Laura Lee]

So I straight up told her, and I was like, you need to get, like, the miracle in shower.

[Manny Mua]

No, get this. When you're doing your shot, like, you're doing yourself. So I'm sitting down and I'm like talking to Charlotte, and she's like, like, hair. And I'm like, girl, I know, it's crazy. She's like, do you use Dr. Groot too? She's looking at my hair. I'm like, don't look too close to my hair. But I do use doctor. She was literally like, up. And I'm like, charlotte, stop it. But I was like, yeah, I use. And I was like, I use, like, the full system. I use a shampoo, shower conditioner. Her assistant was right there. Literally like this.

[Laura Lee]

Yep.

[Manny Mua]

Typing down, like, what Laura had told her about Dr. Groot. How cute is that?

[Laura Lee]

It's so cute.

[Manny Mua]

I was just telling her. I was like, no, it's like a Korean haircare.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. I was like, it's Korean haircare. So good. It's amazing. So we had a good time and then we booked our asses home and.

[Manny Mua]

And the rest is her stream.

[Laura Lee]

The rest is history.

[Manny Mua]

Here we are. Speaking of Whitney, let's just dive right in.

[Laura Lee]

Dive in. Because that's part of our rap.

[Manny Mua]

I just thought was the way she did it was so cute. Cute because so when she's doing Broadway, like, we actually witnessed her do the first bit where it's like, those Mormons, you know, those Mormon wives.

[Laura Lee]

She like, points to the newspaper because she wants to be famous. And she's like, you'll see me in the paper next to those Mormon wives.

[Manny Mua]

It was crazy. She's like, right next to one of them, you know? And then so like, everyone goes crazy erupts. So she does that bit, but she's like, oh, you know where it says, like, Whitney Lovett is leaving Secret House, like Secret Wives or Mormon Wives. And everyone, of course, roars and screams. So, yeah, Whitney Lovett officially is a leader.

[Laura Lee]

She announced it like a real On Broadway during the show.

[Manny Mua]

Have you seen. Have you been seeing comments out of curiosity about people being like. For the fifth time, like, I've even seen people being like, okay, again, announcing it again. I'm like, you guys, so because someone's on a show and they're like talking about it or like not being in sequences or not being as part of a season or as present, that does not in any way shape or form mean that they've left the show.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

When someone goes and like, hey, I'm leaving secret lives, Mormon wise, it's official means that they're fudgeing leaving the show. Actually, it's not like, one of those things where it's like, oh, she just, like, not in it that much. Like, technically, Demi, who's, like, barely in the season at all, hasn't left the show because she's still in the show. So when you leave the show means you're no longer part of the main or partial cast.

[Laura Lee]

Like, I feel like anytime someone gets a big press hit like Whitney did for leaving, people get so bitter. 100 they just do. They get so, like.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah. But I think it's because they were thinking that she, like, had already left or she was coming because, you know, that was part of her narrative, was coming back to get these, like, opportunities about, like, saying the show, the moms.

[Laura Lee]

Do you feel like Whitney's kind of outgrown more my wife? I do too.

[Manny Mua]

I do. I really do.

[Laura Lee]

She's very talented. It's very clear that the girl is so talented. And even on Tick Tock, like, she was famous for her dancing. Really?

[Manny Mua]

Yeah. I mean, they had. She already had a lot of followers for the dance.

[Laura Lee]

Like, her and her man, like, doing all these crazy dances. And then, like, she's very talented or what she down Dancing with the Stars. So it's just like, constantly evolving paths.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah. 100 I think that's what it is

[Laura Lee]

about Mormonism, you know, and like, cheating and abuse. Like, she's. I feel like she's just evolved past the show.

[Manny Mua]

Well, totally. The thing is, like, because now we've actually been able to see, like, her dude Dancing with the Stars and her do Broadway, like, you can see that this girl has this, like, talent that

[Laura Lee]

is not just so common.

[Manny Mua]

And she's our. She's a star. So it's like, I do think that there's just past, like, the reality. Like, she's. I. I definitely think that she's, like, moved past and moved forward from it because she has other things in her pipeline. I'm not saying being on the show is bad. Obviously that's cool on the show and like, that it's like, it's an amazing opportunity.

[Laura Lee]

I feel like it's running.

[Manny Mua]

She can do for her. I do. I genuinely feel like that. I feel like she's able to do more with it. And it was a great catalyst for her to be able to move forward in her career and her stardom in some capacity. But I just like Winnie a lot. Like, I genuinely really, especially from this last season, like, I really just her heavy. And then we became, like, duties with her. We made her at that event.

[Laura Lee]

We sure did. But her like, character, and her growth path has been, like, pretty big, you know, huge.

[Manny Mua]

I didn't like her one of the seasons.

[Laura Lee]

I didn't either. Season one, she was total villain. I mean, I don't know how much of that was plotted and planned, but she was definitely, like, the villain of season one, and I wasn't a huge fan. And then I feel like we got to know her and, like, saw who, like, the real villains were on the show, and then we actually got to know her in real life, and we were like, oh, this girl's no villain.

[Manny Mua]

Exactly.

[Laura Lee]

And the thing is, the smartest. Literally the smartest sister out of all of them. You know what I mean? She really is one of the most mature ones. Very mature. Like.

[Manny Mua]

Well, I feel like she, like, from watching and from getting to, like, speak with her, I do feel like she has a really good head on her shoulders. And I genuinely think that it's one of those situations where I do think that if you're in a show and you're in an environment where it's kind of toxic and being kind of volatile, you're going to be more toxic and volatile, if that makes sense. Like, I feel like you're going to. It's going to be brought out in you.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. You're going to bring it. Perform.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah. You're going to bring it up and then just going to be brought out. So I think at the end of the day, you are going to be a little bit more performative.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

In a show like that, because that's kind of what the show requires.

[Laura Lee]

I still feel like she had, like, that star power. Because season one was. All you talked about was Whitney.

[Manny Mua]

Exactly. Because all the cat. Like, the camera wouldn't get off of her.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. Yeah. So it was interesting. But I'm really happy for her exit. I'm excited to see what she's gonna do next. So I love to.

[Manny Mua]

I'd love to see all the girls going even past the show.

[Laura Lee]

Isn't another one of them doing Dancing with the Stars? Miranda or somebody?

[Manny Mua]

Oh, I don't know.

[Laura Lee]

I don't know.

[Manny Mua]

I know Jen did it.

[Laura Lee]

Jen did it. Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Obviously, Taylor was gonna be about. That's something past Mormon Wives. Was. Was. So I feel like a lot of the girls are, like, doing things really cool. Really cool things.

[Laura Lee]

I was on that show. I would be taking dance classes every

[Manny Mua]

single day of the week to potentially get on dancing. Yes.

[Laura Lee]

Because I'd be like, oh, would you

[Manny Mua]

want to be on Dancing with the Stars?

[Laura Lee]

I would do it.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Laura yes.

[Laura Lee]

Would you not do it?

[Manny Mua]

No.

[Laura Lee]

Why?

[Manny Mua]

I can't.

[Laura Lee]

That.

[Manny Mua]

That's too.

[Laura Lee]

But you could take class. I feel like it would be one of those challenges that are so daring and so scary and so challenging.

[Manny Mua]

100.

[Laura Lee]

It would change you for the rest of your life. And you gotta say yes.

[Manny Mua]

I don't think I could say that's

[Laura Lee]

the point in living.

[Manny Mua]

I have this really weird thing with like the art, like performing. I can't. I can't sing in public.

[Laura Lee]

Me.

[Manny Mua]

That's why I'm like, you would do it.

[Laura Lee]

I'll sing in public all day.

[Manny Mua]

Oh baby. I know you would.

[Laura Lee]

Sounds like tin can do.

[Manny Mua]

Like, I have a hard time doing karaoke.

[Laura Lee]

You do.

[Manny Mua]

So there's a lot of things. Like it's like. There's thing I won't sing. Like there's some like. I have this like weird like mental blog with that. And it's. It's the same with dancing.

[Laura Lee]

I feel like I'll do anything once for sure. Even if I'm terrible and everybody hates me and they're like, how'd she even get on the show? She sucks so bad. I would still do it.

[Manny Mua]

Absolutely. Why not?

[Laura Lee]

I'm down.

[Manny Mua]

Because it's a cool like accolade too. At the end of the day, it's

[Laura Lee]

just like I feel like, you know, you gotta do.

[Manny Mua]

It's a challenge and it's something you have to do.

[Laura Lee]

Challenges. Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

You know, not a lot of people get to do that. So like. And just in general it'd be cool, but like. Like I couldn't do it.

[Laura Lee]

Damn. I was hoping on together.

[Manny Mua]

You know what? I'll be the. The. The pro. You be the.

[Laura Lee]

See, that's what I was thinking.

[Manny Mua]

That's a great thought.

[Laura Lee]

They tend to have people that have some type of dancer background, though.

[Manny Mua]

A lot of people don't have dancer background.

[Laura Lee]

Well, you think.

[Manny Mua]

You think Harry Josy had a dancing background? That's stiff ass.

[Laura Lee]

Ass. No, he was a stiff ass.

[Manny Mua]

Wooden.

[Laura Lee]

Wooden.

[Manny Mua]

Wooden legs.

[Laura Lee]

Legs.

[Manny Mua]

There's just. There's a lot of people that don't have any dance background.

[Laura Lee]

Okay.

[Manny Mua]

And there's some people that do that have obviously a leg up. Like Whitney, Charlie.

[Laura Lee]

I think maybe I go into things wrong. My point wouldn't be to win. It'd be just to try it.

[Manny Mua]

Absolutely. For like the. For the fun.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

And for the experience.

[Laura Lee]

For the. Yeah. I would come on every week and tell all the realty. And I really hate to remember that whenever Jen got sent home, Whitney covered her mouth. And they were all saying, Whitney was laughing.

[Manny Mua]

Yes.

[Laura Lee]

You think she was laughing?

[Manny Mua]

I think she was shocked.

[Laura Lee]

I think she left.

[Manny Mua]

Really?

[Laura Lee]

No, I don't.

[Manny Mua]

I. I think that she was shocked.

[Laura Lee]

I think she was shocked and like,

[Manny Mua]

kind of like, you know, when you uncomfortable giggle.

[Laura Lee]

All eyes on her. And I think the best. She was just like, let me cover my mouth. Yes.

[Manny Mua]

100.

[Laura Lee]

Because I think, like, obviously I don't

[Manny Mua]

think she's like, no, I think that was just like.

[Laura Lee]

Also, she's not that dumb.

[Manny Mua]

Exactly.

[Laura Lee]

You know what I mean? Like pr.

[Manny Mua]

It's a shock. It's a shock.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

And it's like. Like an uncomfortable giggle.

[Laura Lee]

Huh?

[Manny Mua]

That's all.

[Laura Lee]

That's just my shade her, though, like on live. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right.

[Manny Mua]

She literally was like, I'm not waiting for Whitney. Like, the whole thing.

[Laura Lee]

Jen has come a long way, too, on the show.

[Manny Mua]

I think so, too.

[Laura Lee]

Jen has also come along.

[Manny Mua]

I think so.

[Laura Lee]

We're gonna give her some.

[Manny Mua]

I think a lot of the girls have come a long way.

[Laura Lee]

I agree.

[Manny Mua]

I think a lot of them have most. I'd say most of them have.

[Laura Lee]

Our next topic. Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni finally do a private.

[Manny Mua]

I took a screenshot of this settlement.

[Laura Lee]

You guys sleep tonight.

[Manny Mua]

Let me say this. Blake Lively just about let me reach a confidential settlement on May 4, which is not when you guys are watching this, but when we're seeing this on May 4, ending a 18th month legal battle over the film. It ends with us. The agreement resolves allegations of sexual harassment retaliation just before a scheduled trial, allowing both parties to avoid potentially damaging public court battles, which I feel like now that it's like saying, like, oh, because they're trying to essentially avoid this, like, damage. More damage. They. It's a secret settlement. Like, they're not. It's not that.

[Laura Lee]

What do you think this do you think is Break even? Secret, secret settlement.

[Manny Mua]

Yes. I definitely think it's one of those things. Where it's like, neither of you guys can really talk about you guys to each other in the past anymore and just kind of have to let it lie because they both kind of, like, got a lot of scrutiny for it. So I think that what they're spooked about is idea that, let's say, going for trial for real, that means, like, things are open. Like, people will find out.

[Laura Lee]

That's gonna be a field day.

[Manny Mua]

It'll be a field day for people, especially, like, the little investigative reporters that

[Laura Lee]

are trying to figure out, like, I gotta do the mat on my. Wrap it up. Just. I love how they both paid all their money in legal fees, and now they're assuming. It's like, nothing.

[Manny Mua]

A wash. It's a wash. Because that was like a. It was definitely, like a pride thing on both ends. It wasn't like, a thing of, like, we really want this to be said. It was like, no, they're going to like, let's just keep taking as far as we can, or something finally happened, which I'm just happy it's done. Like, honestly, like. But that situation. Is it 18 months.

[Laura Lee]

That's insane.

[Manny Mua]

18.

[Laura Lee]

That's two children, like, the top. That's two births paying the top lawyers ever. 18 months. Two. Yikes.

[Manny Mua]

Births, mind you. It's like birth child.

[Laura Lee]

Or child.

[Manny Mua]

That would be. I don't. I don't. I don't think. Think that would even work. I don't know. But I'm just glad that it's done.

[Laura Lee]

I'm sick of it.

[Manny Mua]

Because the, like, it becomes to. It becomes like a show.

[Laura Lee]

It has become a circus.

[Manny Mua]

It's a circus.

[Laura Lee]

I'm absolutely sick of it. And I never want to hear the names Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively in the same sentence ever again. But I do hope they're able to do a movie together in the future.

[Manny Mua]

I don't think there's a world. Same room together. Imagine there's a world where there's, like, across the hall.

[Laura Lee]

They're just, like, from the Met gala. Yeah, baby.

[Manny Mua]

No, I feel like. I feel like just Justin is more like behind the scenes anyway.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. I didn't know who he was before this.

[Manny Mua]

Right.

[Laura Lee]

Just gonna be honest, I just hadn't really heard of him before.

[Manny Mua]

He was like. I think his main thing was Ugly Betty.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, See, I didn't watch Ugly Betty.

[Manny Mua]

Okay, I didn't either, but I just remember him being, like, the hot guy from Ugly.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, got it.

[Manny Mua]

So I just didn't. I didn't watch it myself either. I kind of Wish I did. Like, that was like a, a phenomenon at the time.

[Laura Lee]

Ugly Betty. It was for sure, wasn't it?

[Manny Mua]

I thought.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, so the clothing brand, Kai.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, yeah, let's talk about this.

[Laura Lee]

There's a little discourse in the air about. So Ky, it's Kylie's Chloe brand and basically she came out with a lot of cute launches, I'll say mid price range. Some stuff was expensive, some stuff was like 30 bucks, like some, some not. And basically she's doing a rebrand with it because a lot of people notice that the website has constantly been down and then back up and then there's been a lot of changes. So she officially put out a statement that she wasn't sure about the identity of the brand and really wants to change that up. So she's taken some time to do a rebrand with it, which I think you should rebrand your brands and pivoted and change it as many times as you want to. But there was an influencer who noticed a discrep discrepancy in the sizing for the brand. So the brand has carried most of its lines, I think extra small through 4x. And like with the rebrand, it seems like with the new launches that they're not going to do, do that anymore. It seems like they're only doing like, I think maybe up to extra large.

[Manny Mua]

Okay.

[Laura Lee]

But the influencer said that she'd been sent PR by the Kai brand multiple times. I'm not sure what size she was, but I believe she was in the 2x3x4x one of those ranges. And whenever they sent her PR, they sent her an extra large and she was like, I wonder why they sent me extra large. That's not my size. So she went to the website to look at the products and it did have like XL2x3x4x listed, but all those sizes were like sold out from the day of the launch. So she was like, you guys are trying to fool people. Like you're not really providing those sizes, you're just marking them as sold out on the site. So there's a little discourse with that. Like, is she taking away the inclusive part of the brand or not? I don't know. Maybe it was just those pieces and they just left it like that. Yeah, but you know, she's doing a rebrand. There's a little bit of discourse behind it, but who knows? I feel like the Kardashian Jenners, you know, they've had so many brands, months.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

And they're constantly trying different things. All the time and I think just

[Manny Mua]

to see what sticks.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, basically, yeah. Once something doesn't stick, they either figure it out or drop it.

[Manny Mua]

100. I do feel like it's one of those things where, I don't know, I feel like they. I don't like the idea of them trying to like, fool their customer, obviously, because that's like, obviously insane. But like, is there a world in which that they did have them and they just sold out?

[Laura Lee]

Like, there is. I mean, absolutely. And maybe they just had super low, low stuff.

[Manny Mua]

You have like low quantity of that. And I think that in like, that world in clothing, I don't think they have the same kind of moq. Like in beauty, where it's like really quite intense. Thousands per unit, per color, things like that, where it's like maybe in clothing it's a little bit.

[Laura Lee]

It is less, you know.

[Manny Mua]

So I feel like maybe they. They just like. Let's say they could have had less units because maybe their customer.

[Laura Lee]

Clients.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah, the client isn't buying those sizes. So then like, okay, we're gonna have to make less of that because they're not moving anyway.

[Laura Lee]

So they're selling out way faster. I think that's like, probably a possibility as well for them.

[Manny Mua]

It could be like in the air. It could be literally like.

[Laura Lee]

Or maybe like there's some pieces they're not going to be able to provide in those sizes, but some pieces they are, you know, just not everything. Maybe that's a possibility too.

[Manny Mua]

Like some just like cannot be made that way.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. And so maybe they should just take down from the site like those exercises instead of saying sold out. But this is us making all assumptions.

[Manny Mua]

Totally. That's what I'm saying. I'm just. I'm really just thinking out loud where I'm like thinking in the way of like, how, like how it would work or like what the actual, like, situation could be. Like, it could be multiple things. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But yeah, I mean, that's very interesting.

[Laura Lee]

I know, it's very interesting.

[Manny Mua]

I'm very. I'm very like, I'm curious. It's just that the next launch, I'm like, curious to see like, what happens.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

You know, I thought Kai had like, great stuff.

[Laura Lee]

It did. I bought stuff from there. Really cute stuff.

[Manny Mua]

Super cool stuff.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, super cool stuff.

[Manny Mua]

So that's collections, right?

[Laura Lee]

Actually, yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

Excited to see like, what she does with the rebrand, cuz you know, see where she takes it.

[Manny Mua]

I want to wear some of those clothes sometimes.

[Laura Lee]

Well, Babe, either T. Girl it up

[Manny Mua]

or, or just say it.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, you know, xl, babe, Excel.

[Manny Mua]

They might not have them, but they might not have it. You don't, you don't know. You guys, you don't know.

[Laura Lee]

What's our next toppy?

[Manny Mua]

Okay, the next one. I've been seeing like all over the news about the cruise ship that has had several cases of hantavirus. Three cases in which they've already passed away on the cruise ship. And it's a cruise, a cruise ship that's basically like their people are quarantined on this ship and they can't get docked.

[Laura Lee]

It says that the country that they're parked out outside of Africa right now has not allowed them to disembark the ship because of the virus being on the ship. They don't want it to spread. So they're basically locking down people on this ship. And three people have already died from the virus, which apparently they got off the ship because they were so sick and got admitted into the hospital in Se? A, South Africa and literally passed away. I think they were all elder, slightly more elderly and older. Yeah, a 69 year old, 70 year old passed away.

[Manny Mua]

But this, there's five other suspects of like getting it as well though.

[Laura Lee]

Oh my God. And it says that this is a virus passed down by rodents and that this is a very rare virus.

[Manny Mua]

Yes, I found a. Heard of hantavirus, like never in my life. But the fact that it's like essentially this little, this virus that's running rampant on this cruise ship and these poor people, 150 people are like quarantined on the ship.

[Laura Lee]

They're stuck on the ship with a rampant virus and right now two of the crew members have it.

[Manny Mua]

No. Yeah, I saw there was a video posted by one of the guys that's on the thing and he's like, I'm, I'm on this crew. Like I'm, I'm here. And he's like, this is not just like a headline. Like we are people and like we are so scared. And like it was a really, really, really sad and heartbreaking video to watch. And I'm just like, I don't know, genuinely like, what do you do in this situation when you have a deadly virus running rampant on a ship? What can you do other than quarantine? But it's like, dude, it's up for the people that are getting quarantined. Like, I don't even know what, because

[Laura Lee]

they don't have like testings for this virus. I'm assuming to be like, do you have it or do you. Yeah, not so easily. So. And then you don't want it to run rampant, start spreading everything.

[Manny Mua]

Also, like, they're not going to know that the incubation period right then and there of like, when someone's exposed for when they're showing symptoms. And, you know, it's such a scary and spooky thing.

[Laura Lee]

It says you have to be exposed to rodent droppings, urine, or saliva to get this.

[Manny Mua]

So, like, do you think, like the. Either the bat is.

[Laura Lee]

Ships are filled with rodents.

[Manny Mua]

Totally. So the rats are either like, in their food. Food or biting them in their sleep. I'm convinced, like, there's. There has to be something to do with that. Like. Like with the droppings or something like that. But the fact that it's like, infected people when it's a really.

[Laura Lee]

Unlike Covid. It's respiratory illness and it has a very high mortality rate. It says high mortality rate, says 38 of people that get it passed.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, my God.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. So it's super dead. That's very high.

[Manny Mua]

They're so fiercely quarantined because they don't

[Laura Lee]

want this to spread.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, my God. Africa.

[Laura Lee]

Have people not seen the poopy Ship? Ship.

[Manny Mua]

See, that's. That will scar you for life.

[Laura Lee]

You cannot get on these cruises. You guys don't. I mean, they've gone south like, a million different times, so we can say that for sure. But remember the ships that broke down in the middle of the ocean, they didn't send another ship to come rescue them for the longest time. And people were having to throw their. Out of the side of them. I mean. I mean, poopy was everywhere on that ship.

[Manny Mua]

I honestly just can't imagine. Yes. Ran out of food. I just can't imagine being like, basically on, like a. A death situation. Like, you're literally on this, like, floating

[Laura Lee]

thing, and the rest of the world's just going on here on this thing, and they won't let you off because they think you might have the virus. Feels like a movie to me.

[Manny Mua]

It. No, it is a movie. I'm like, there's could literally be movies. I'm surprised it hasn't even been another movie. You know, like, do you have it cruise?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Zombie.

[Laura Lee]

I would never get on a cruise ship again.

[Manny Mua]

No. Now I'm like, I'm done. I'm past it's all right day.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

We're done.

[Laura Lee]

We're done. I'll never get on a cruise again. I took a couple cruises in my younger years. A gay Cruise. Will you do a gay season of cruise? No, they're opening a cruise and it, but it only holds, it only holds like less than 100. Like it's small, small, small luxury. Yeah, it's like less than 50 people. Like it's a yacht essentially and it's like a Four Seasons hotel on the

[Manny Mua]

water and completely different.

[Laura Lee]

We have to go though.

[Manny Mua]

We go from. Is that easy touch a cruise ship.

[Laura Lee]

I hear it's like right now it's like crazy expensive though.

[Manny Mua]

But also the thing is the, the actual like one of the issues with cruise ships as well is cuz obviously what's great about cruise is that you're able to travel to many different places

[Laura Lee]

and it's all inclusive.

[Manny Mua]

It's inclusive and it's like really, really great for that and I think that's really awesome for the camaraderie. Problem is that it's really easy to spread viruses and bacteria because you're on a cruise and it's like you're not. You're pretty mobile on there, like immobile like that's. You only have the cruise. Let's say everyone's going to one place to eat. Everyone's going one place like kind of figure things out and you don't know if the passengers are sick or anything like that. So it's really easy to spread things. That's what like freaks me out about cruises. It feels very like germy.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, so the four back to the Four Seasons.

[Manny Mua]

Let's go back, let's go back, let's

[Laura Lee]

go back to that because I have some information on that I think we all need to know about.

[Manny Mua]

I think we should all.

[Laura Lee]

Everyone, everyone listen up. Four Seasons cruise is launching in 20, 2026. It starts at $3,000 per day. The rooms and suites cost between 20,000 and 350,000 depending on which suite. Whichever suite you get, that's not per person, that's per suite. It's only four decks. So it's basically a giant yacht. And the entry level prices start for a seven night suite, 20, 25,000 if you want. Top tier 350,000 and standard is 30 to 45,000. This is a luxury hotel on the water and like we were saying it's only like not that many people can go. I think honestly it's a yachty actually. Oh, that's a lot. 190 guests. But main cruise ships like Carnival is like thousands.

[Manny Mua]

That's what I'm saying. Like I feel like there's. When I think of cruises I think about like thousands of people. I don't think about 120.

[Laura Lee]

Okay, say that 120. So let's see how many people are on.

[Manny Mua]

Well, yeah, I was on a Carnival.

[Laura Lee]

Carnival Cruises.

[Manny Mua]

I just think it's thousands. But it could be hundreds.

[Laura Lee]

No, I think it's between. Is what says between six two thousand, six thousand five hundred. So the. So the four seasons is up to like 120. So that's substantially.

[Manny Mua]

I mean, it's like a way do luxury with 600.

[Laura Lee]

You can't 6,000 people.

[Manny Mua]

Unless it. Oh, no,

[Laura Lee]

6,000.

[Manny Mua]

Not 6,000. No, babe, that's so crazy.

[Laura Lee]

No, that's.

[Manny Mua]

No, that's honestly crazy. Like, the prices are way out.

[Laura Lee]

It's because it's brand new. Like, they're just debuting it this year. It's just starting, and we have to let them. I think it would be a great retirement trip for us.

[Manny Mua]

I think that Four Seasons.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

Feel free to hit us up.

[Manny Mua]

Honestly, feel. Are you on. Are you miked? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What I really feel is that they should sponsor that full coverage. Yeah. An episode on the Four Seasons deck, you guys. That would be a great episode.

[Laura Lee]

I need experience.

[Manny Mua]

And you know what? We're doing it for you. We want you guys to be able to see what's happening.

[Laura Lee]

If y' all see me on that. Don't say.

[Manny Mua]

Don't say.

[Laura Lee]

Damn it.

[Manny Mua]

Laura, what happened to you? I got on cruises.

[Laura Lee]

Me of Four Seasons. The Lord's like, they kicked me off.

[Manny Mua]

Hey, you can't.

[Laura Lee]

That's Carnival business.

[Manny Mua]

That's Carnival. Honestly, I've been like, my. Not my whole life. Oh, my God. For a long time, I wanted to. On a gay cruise just to see the experience of a gay cruise. And I've told you this a million times.

[Laura Lee]

They book out.

[Manny Mua]

They book one. They book out like insane. But also, like, the idea of like the Jeremy thing being on a cruise semen is. Oh, that she men. See you guys, people. I have friends that go on gay cruises that tell me that they already pre. Prescribe doxy prep, like just to get it all in their system before so they don't get catch every single disease.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

There's gotta be a better way.

[Manny Mua]

Is it a better way? So literally everyone's just on the ship. I would want to go just for the. To see. Not trying to.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, you're trying to. You are not trying to see.

[Manny Mua]

And take a look.

[Laura Lee]

Do not believe this fool.

[Manny Mua]

I don't take a long time look

[Laura Lee]

again me on there, all the gays.

[Manny Mua]

I just want to take a little gandy and see what's. But also, like, the gay cruises, they're like, they're going to, like, the Maldives. Like, they're doing, like, really intense party. Like, big cruises. Yeah. Like Spain cruises.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Like, I'm like, girl, y' all can't do a little Florida Keys.

[Laura Lee]

The gays do love the Florida Keys now.

[Manny Mua]

They do. They love the Keys.

[Laura Lee]

Love the Florida Keys.

[Manny Mua]

Can you do a little Cabo gauge one? Like, come on.

[Laura Lee]

I know. They need to do a little pv, baby. You're gonna get the hep. You're gonna get the hep again.

[Manny Mua]

I've already had hep A. I can't get it again. That was horrible. I cannot get hepatitis.

[Laura Lee]

You're gonna get. You can't be going on these cruises now.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

No, it's just a little food for thought. The biggest cruise ship in the world can hold nearly. Almost 8, 000 passengers, but with the crew included, 10,000 people.

[Manny Mua]

My personal 2,000 crew members. That's all. I mean, it makes sense. You have to have a lot of.

[Laura Lee]

It's giving Titanic, baby. How many people. Titanic?

[Manny Mua]

Yeah. How many people are on a Titanic?

[Laura Lee]

That's my personal hill.

[Manny Mua]

The fact that we were on, like,

[Laura Lee]

a floating nightmare, Blunt rotation nightmare also.

[Manny Mua]

Ain't no service there, baby.

[Laura Lee]

10, 000 people, no service.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

I'm going between 2, 200 to 2, 200.

[Manny Mua]

Titanic.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

On the Titanic, yeah.

[Laura Lee]

How many?

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

2,200.

[Carvana Announcer]

Okay.

[Manny Mua]

So it was too much for me.

[Laura Lee]

Cruise. That was pretty good. Big cruise.

[Manny Mua]

That's two. It wasn't a cruise, though.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

That was trans.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, yeah. That was transportation. That was transportation.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

It's not for fun.

[Laura Lee]

Very, very wealthy friend. I won't say any names. And it's not.

[Manny Mua]

I know who it is.

[Laura Lee]

It's not Jackson. I have a very, very, very, very wealthy friend. And she decides, oh, I have two kids. I think it was like their spring break. She was like, we should try a cruise. So we should just. We should just play around. We should try the cruise. We should see what this business is all about. She told me she got on that cruise. Her and her kids were like, oh,

[Manny Mua]

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What kind of cruise?

[Laura Lee]

I was probably like a Royal Caribbean or something like that. The first stop that they make, she hires a private jet.

[Manny Mua]

No, she does.

[Laura Lee]

Yes, she does. And never gets back on the boat. She hired a private jet and got her the out of there. She said, oh, honey, book the jet.

[Manny Mua]

Simply can. We simply can't to be that rich and that Wealthy. To be like, you guys, just like, this is it. Cr. I have to get the jet out of here.

[Laura Lee]

I got a jet coming to Madrid. We're getting the out of here.

[Manny Mua]

I'm guys.

[Laura Lee]

I know.

[Manny Mua]

But the thing is, there are, I'm sure cruises that are not four seasons, that are nice, too. Like, that are nicer.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Manny Mua]

You know, I'm sure there's, like, other versions of it that are, like. I'm sure there's a type of rating system that's like the bougiest ones to, like, the worst kind.

[Laura Lee]

Spirit Airlines.

[Manny Mua]

Spirit. Is there a Spirit Sea? Is there a Spirit at Sea? Like, I don't know.

[Laura Lee]

Spirit C. Is it? Carnival is not Spirit. I'm gonna Google.

[Manny Mua]

Spirit of the Sea is crazy, bro. What is the Spirit of the Sea, Tyler?

[Laura Lee]

The cheapest.

[Manny Mua]

Look it up.

[Laura Lee]

What's the cheapest cruise line?

[Manny Mua]

Yeah, like, just, like, the most.

[Laura Lee]

Like, if it says Carnival, I'm gonna scream carney. Margaritaville of the Sea is considered the cheapest cruise line. 100 to $130 per person. That's their lowest voyages.

[Manny Mua]

Okay, well, Margarita, you know what?

[Laura Lee]

That's my personal. That's my personal.

[Manny Mua]

No, Margaritaville, the sea. I just can't. I just don't think that's gonna work for me, girl. What do you mean?

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

So this list here has the Margaritaville at the Sea, but also carnivals on that list. They did a top three in carnivals

[Manny Mua]

on it, and top three.

[Laura Lee]

Me and Ty went on a carnival cruise one time during his college spring break, and we got the cheapest room that we get at the very bottom of the boat. We were basically next door to the workers.

[Manny Mua]

And you didn't get seasick?

[Laura Lee]

I did. It was horrible. Horrible. Yeah, girl. You felt that rocking at night. I was below deck. I was below deck, Laura.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah, that just, like, simply would not work.

[Laura Lee]

And then we, like, got off the boat in Mexico, and I was piss drunk getting back on that boat. Oh, I am talking blacked out in the streets of Mexico, because everywhere. Oh, pissing everywhere. Because I remember, you know, they have areas where they know the carnival, like, the cruise people are going to be getting off. And, like, there's a bunch of shops. And when I tell you that, by the way, this is my first time in Mexico, we're like Ensenada or something like that. They have all these little shops, all these cute. And I've never even been out of the country. I have a passport card. Not even a real book. Because if you're on a boat, you can use your passport card. Card. They have, like, a card, but it only works by ship, not plane.

[Manny Mua]

Okay.

[Laura Lee]

So the book takes much longer. It's a lot more expensive. So I ordered a passport card. So I'm in Mexico, and they have all these little shops, like, they sell them little. So I was buying some. And every single time you would buy something, a dude would pull a tequila bottle out from behind and would give you a shot if you bought something.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, so you were plastered.

[Laura Lee]

I was.

[Manny Mua]

Did you buy. You were buying things?

[Laura Lee]

I bought so many things. Swear to God.

[Manny Mua]

Just for the show. Was what money in that pocket?

[Laura Lee]

It was like five cents, you know? And I remember, though, less than the shot was. Oh, way less. I remember, though, I had, like, a $20 bill, and there was. I was, like, so blacked out. There was a man with a fruit cart, and he had just, like, a orange. Like a raw orange. One orange. And I gave that man $20. I swear to God, I gave that.

[Manny Mua]

You were that up.

[Laura Lee]

That up. I was like, I need that orange so bad, sir. I'm on. I was like, this is 20.

[Manny Mua]

He's like, he lucked the out with that 20. And for one orange.

[Laura Lee]

Yep, for that one orange. And I dragged my sorry ass back on that boat. Spring break college.

[Manny Mua]

I mean, that's the college way. I guess it is, man.

[Laura Lee]

You gotta live. You gotta live.

[Manny Mua]

I lived after you did. But it is the college way for a lot of heteros.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Part of it. The spring break cruise. Mexico. Tulum. Wait, what's the other. What's the place that people go to that party a lot in Mexico? That's more like.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

We went to Cozumel that she was talking about.

[Laura Lee]

I thought we went to Ensenada.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

Ensenada's on the.

[Manny Mua]

Cozumel is not what I'm talking about here. I think it is too long.

[Laura Lee]

I think I was.

[Manny Mua]

That's like the more party place of Mexico.

[Laura Lee]

Cancun.

[Manny Mua]

Cancun, yeah. Talking about Cancun. I never, like, did, like, spring break Cancun vibes. That's why I'm like, I've never done that. But I know that's a huge thing in Cancun, specifically. I love that, though.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

At least you gotta experience it. You gave that man your 20?

[Laura Lee]

I sure did.

[Manny Mua]

Girl.

[Laura Lee]

Girl.

[Manny Mua]

And that was your last 20.

[Laura Lee]

And that was probably the last 20 I saw for a long, long time.

[Manny Mua]

I was like, yeah, it was his 22.

[Laura Lee]

Yep.

[Manny Mua]

That was my. The next 20 was ties that went and left.

[Laura Lee]

I remember you had to buy, like, the soda pass card. And we were just broke as on that cruise.

[Manny Mua]

What's a soda pass card?

[Laura Lee]

You have to buy like pay extra to get like sodas. So you have to pay for a soda card. And we couldn't pay for excursions. We could. I'm talking about, you know, when we scrounged our pennies together to literally get on this boat because it was his roommate and her girlfriend. It was like the four of us. And it's just so funny the memories you make whenever you literally scrap by to make a trip happen.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

One soda card.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, I rem. We bought. Bought the four of us. We bought one soda card and we were just pass it around and use it. It was so funny.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

We also snuck booze on.

[Laura Lee]

Oh yeah. We absolutely filled up so many flasks. Cuz you had to buy.

[Manny Mua]

You can bring there. Because I thought you get free alcohol on the cruise.

[Laura Lee]

You can bring wine. But we. No, alcohol is not free. It's not inclusive.

[Manny Mua]

I thought was inclusive.

[Laura Lee]

No, alcohol's not inclusive.

[Manny Mua]

You guys. You guys inclusive cruises, but not on carnival Bab.

[Laura Lee]

It's like spirit.

[Manny Mua]

God damn you, carnival.

[Laura Lee]

You got to pay for every extra gone. So I remember we filled up all these flasks with liquor. Like plastic flasks so they wouldn't go through the metal detector or something like that with liquor. And we were like making drinks in our room. We'd order a coke and go to our room. We would go to our room in like 54D at the bottom of the where the engines are running.

[Manny Mua]

But I bet you guys have the best time.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, they made us serve people at night too.

[Manny Mua]

No, they didn't.

[Laura Lee]

No. Imagine they're like okay below deck.

[Manny Mua]

For real.

[Laura Lee]

You know, we were.

[Manny Mua]

Okay. So we caught you in those flights glass.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

Toilet time.

[Laura Lee]

Clean the poopy, you guys.

[Manny Mua]

Time for poopy. Clean up, baby. The poop deck as they call it. Dude, that is so crazy.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

God, I really missed out on those drunken years, you know?

[Laura Lee]

You did, man. You could have got up with me. You. I would have ruined your life.

[Manny Mua]

You would have.

[Laura Lee]

I would have had me.

[Manny Mua]

We met at the perfect time.

[Laura Lee]

We did not a second sooner, baby. Second.

[Manny Mua]

I used to be shy.

[Laura Lee]

You would have been awakened.

[Manny Mua]

I would have been.

[Laura Lee]

Been like, oh, mom. Yeah, take her with

[Manny Mua]

like wild Thornber. No, she is. She's a. That's Laura.

[Laura Lee]

I loved it.

[Manny Mua]

Running like this.

[Laura Lee]

Couldn't do it now.

[Manny Mua]

No, actually you could do. You could push some down.

[Laura Lee]

I could do some damage now. No, no, no, no. Laura, you can't the hangovers remember that time, lights out two years these ago. Oh, I tell these stories, and then I get these paragraphs. Her office. They're like, she's an alcoholic.

[Manny Mua]

I loved when she got blacked out two years ago.

[Laura Lee]

You guys always bring it back. Coaching me into rehab.

[Manny Mua]

No, Laura, no. They know. Knows you are not an alcoholic yet it's a problem. We can tell it's a problem. No, they know you're not alcoholic.

[Laura Lee]

I was a alcoholic. I know what an alcoholic is. Okay. I know what an alcoholic is. Is grew up.

[Manny Mua]

They know you're not an alcoholic, Laura. They know.

[Laura Lee]

They don't know.

[Manny Mua]

Laura's like, they don't know.

[Laura Lee]

Like, this. I am.

[Manny Mua]

They don't know.

[Laura Lee]

They don't know.

[Manny Mua]

They know. But that was really. That was funny.

[Laura Lee]

That was fun.

[Manny Mua]

I had such a fun time.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, when I was pissed ass drunk.

[Manny Mua]

When your titties were out on accident,

[Laura Lee]

I was like, why the was I that drunk? I only had two drinks at dinner. And y' all were all like, girl,

[Manny Mua]

you thought you tried it. You know, if it was like, why am I so up? I'm like, because you wouldn't leave. Yeah. Yeah. Because you would want to get out of there.

[Laura Lee]

So many drinks and shots.

[Manny Mua]

Oh, so funny. It was just fun night.

[Laura Lee]

Very, very fun night.

[Manny Mua]

I have to recreate that one.

[Laura Lee]

No, I was puking the next day.

[Manny Mua]

We got for, like, three days.

[Laura Lee]

I'm not even doing good to convince you. I'm not. They're like, see, this is why we say stuff. I know. Karen's writing her paragraph right now. Now. Yes, she is. She's loaded up.

[Manny Mua]

She's like, karen's like this.

[Laura Lee]

You need to see Christ counseling.

[Manny Mua]

316, John.

[Laura Lee]

Yes. Being.

[Manny Mua]

Is that a. That is a thing, right?

[Laura Lee]

That's literally the tattoo on my back. Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

That's why I thought that was such a good pull from you, man. Thank you. That's what I thought of. Maybe that's why. That's what's. That's what's envisioning in me is your tattoo. That's how I can see 3 and 16.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Manny Mua]

What is it? What is that verse? Do you know?

[Laura Lee]

For God, love the world, that he gave his only son? Yeah. Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

I would like to know.

[Laura Lee]

Bible beater right here. You know, I'll do it. You have a Bible beat, Manny.

[Manny Mua]

Why that one specifically?

[Laura Lee]

Okay, this was my idea. We all talk about this a lot.

[Manny Mua]

I have a question. Why is for God.

[Laura Lee]

So here was my idea. Here's my idea. Here's my idea. Yeah. One I had was 18 for 24 hours before I got this tattoo. Meaning there was no frontal lobe. No frontal lobe.

[Manny Mua]

Not even a middle.

[Laura Lee]

Not even a middle. So we're going to give me grace there. Second part is I had a friend getting a tattoo with me, so that gives me all the validation I need. It was a co sign.

[Manny Mua]

Okay. But I want to go back to the words of what 316 is in the Christian Bible.

[Laura Lee]

That is the verse that gets you locked into heaven.

[Manny Mua]

You're locked and loaded.

[Laura Lee]

That's the locked and loaded. So my thought was, wow, if you get a tattoo, you're going to have to, like, want that forever.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

I'll always believe in God, so I'll get this Bible first. And this is a sure way that I will not regret this tattoo. So in my brain I was like, I won't regret the tattoo.

[Manny Mua]

Especially in your lower back. How about your lower back?

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

That.

[Laura Lee]

Why tell them that?

[Manny Mua]

They know you said J like, three seconds ago. She goes, why can I tell like, the three minutes ago that you told me first? So why there if you're going to heaven?

[Laura Lee]

I feel like God would wash me of my sin.

[Manny Mua]

One of these.

[Laura Lee]

That part was because my frontal. I honestly was in high school and low rise jeans were in style and I wanted to look hot. I wanted to look hot. I'm being dead serious. Low rises were cool.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

Hot, but classic classy with the.

[Manny Mua]

I think that's where it was like

[Laura Lee]

a layer of class.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

Hey, boys.

[Manny Mua]

I'm here, but I'm here, but I'm a Christian.

[Laura Lee]

I'm not pure. I wasn't pure.

[Manny Mua]

Oh. And I know at that time, but

[Laura Lee]

I wanted my tattoo to peek out a little bit.

[Manny Mua]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

Show me. I'm a.

[Manny Mua]

So now do you try to hide

[Laura Lee]

it high schools or do you let

[Manny Mua]

it out like it?

[Laura Lee]

Oh, no, I hide it with the depths of myself.

[Manny Mua]

You know, we're really plunging back to, like, your crack.

[Laura Lee]

And seasons are in now, so I am willing to show it. I don't know. Yes, I will show it because it's, like, cool now.

[Manny Mua]

You know what? Tick tock. Story time 316.

[Additional Narrator/Announcer]

Show it right now.

[Laura Lee]

No, I'm not gonna show it. It's a privilege to see this.

[Manny Mua]

It is. You know, and I'm. And I'm blessed to never see anything.

[Laura Lee]

Also, someone brought up a good point, and I really like their perspective on it. They were like, as a human being, like, we constantly evolve, and you go through seasons and, like, that tattoo is definitely a your life and a season of who you were and, like, would totally, on a whim, just go get a huge tattoo across your lower back at one point in your life. And it's, like, cool to have that memory, like, because it's there. So they, like, wrote a comment, and I was like, you know what? I really do like that perspective.

[Manny Mua]

I love that. I actually think that's, like, the perfect perspective because it's kind of funny who you were at that time.

[Laura Lee]

Yes. And it's kind of funny to, like, live in these shoes and be the person I am today, where you couldn't pay me a million bucks to go do something like that. But I still have the tattoo, so it's kind of cool.

[Manny Mua]

Like, it was you at one point.

[Laura Lee]

I was that for sure. Yeah. So, yeah, that's the story.

[Manny Mua]

We really trailed on that one, dude.

[Laura Lee]

It got deep.

[Manny Mua]

Got really deep. Got really dark. And, you know, I think that's the end of the episode.

[Laura Lee]

I think that's the wrap.

[Manny Mua]

I got a bed.

[Laura Lee]

I got a bed.

[Manny Mua]

It's 9pm Babe. I'm tired.

[Laura Lee]

It is 9. It is 9 o'.

[Manny Mua]

Clock.

[Laura Lee]

I have to go home now.

[Manny Mua]

I have to wash off my makeup and.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Manny Mua]

But anyway, this is actually fantastic. What a fun.

[Laura Lee]

[Manny Mua]

[Laura Lee]

That's how we get in trouble.

[Laura Lee]

That's how we get in trouble.

[Manny Mua]
