Kendall Jordan Myrick
Welcome to Happy Wife, Happy Life.
Jordan
We're your hosts.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I'm Kendall Jordan Myrick.
Jordan
And we are two incredibly unqualified but.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Deeply in love comedians who are here to help you with all things relationship. And on today's episode, we are talking dating hot takes with Bridger Whinger.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, should I say something?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, that was perfect. That's perfect. Bridger, thanks so much for being here.
Bridger Whinger
Thank you for having me.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You host everyone's favorite podcast.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, my God.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And it's an honor to have you on ours.
Bridger Whinger
I'm so thrilled. I adore both of you. We're, I mean, recent friendly.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Bridger Whinger
I'm not gonna say friends because I don't wanna assume anything with you two.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I would love to be friends.
Jordan
I was gonna say best friend, so that'd be super awkward.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I'd love to be friends. Yeah. We did your podcast and we had a blast.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, my God, you brought those delicious lemons.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
What'd you think?
Bridger Whinger
They were so good. Meyer lemons. Right. Which were essentially candy.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay, great. This is starting out on a much better note than episodes normally do.
Bridger Whinger
Usually start with a fight.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Usually it's really awkward by this point. We unpack emotional trauma right up top. And then we get into the lighter stuff at that. You are in a relationship.
Bridger Whinger
I'm in a relationship. A 10 year relationship as of February.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Wow. Are you married?
Bridger Whinger
Not married. Refuse to get married.
Jordan
Are you gonna get on the Ultimatum? The TV show?
Bridger Whinger
Have you ever thought of it? I don't know what the Ultimatum is.
Jordan
You don't know what it is?
Bridger Whinger
I've never heard of this.
Jordan
Ultimatum, queer love. Ultimatum, queer love.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
I have never heard of this.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay, okay. Wait, are you being serious?
Bridger Whinger
Yeah.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay. Oh, yeah.
Jordan
She feels great.
Bridger Whinger
How far outside of pop culture am I?
Jordan
I so far outside. This feels like not knowing what, like American Idol is.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
We shouldn't shame. Hey. We shouldn't shame. We should invite In.
Bridger Whinger
No. I only learn from shaming.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay. And I end up at a.
Bridger Whinger
You embarrass me.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
So this is what it is. It's a show called the Ultimatum, and it started out as straight couples.
Bridger Whinger
Okay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Where they would. Absolutely. They would bring in couples where one of them wanted to get married right now, one of them didn't want to get married. Didn't want to get married right now. Whatever.
Jordan
Or whatever.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Then they would. So it's like a 12 groups of couples or whatever. Then they would date other people from the other couples, and then they have one week where they live with.
Jordan
Three weeks. Three weeks. Three weeks.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay. Three weeks where they live with the chosen person for one of the other couples.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, of the other people.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. In their trial marriage. So I would. Let's say, like, if we were all on, like, Kendall and I would be like, you break up. So then they always are, like, I'd be like my ex, and then you.
Jordan
And I might get together.
Bridger Whinger
That's right.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And then you would be her trial husband.
Jordan
And then I would see if it brought up anything for me. If I was like, wait, actually, I didn't want to marry you, but I.
Bridger Whinger
Do want to marry you by this guy.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And then the options are you can be with your new person, you can be with your old person, or you can leave alone. So those are the three options.
Jordan
No, no. But it's not even just leave with the. You have to get engaged. If you leave with the person that you came there with, you have to get engaged.
Bridger Whinger
So they would bring on people who should not be married to anyone.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Absolutely, 100%.
Jordan
And people who think it's. I was saying this on our Patreon episode because we were doing an ultimatum recap, Right. And I was like, usually it's kind of painted as the person who doesn't want to get married is kind of like, oh, they're afraid of commitment, and they're kind of the bad one. But I'm like, we are have to remember the person who's asking them to get married when they were told no brought them onto reality.
Bridger Whinger
They're a dangerous person.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
They're dangerous person.
Jordan
Very scary.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, absolutely. But they've done two seasons so far. The second season just came out.
Bridger Whinger
So this did not air in 2006. It sounds like that sort of reality.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You know, I honestly couldn't tell you when it started.
Jordan
It did not air in 2000.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No, 2006 is too long ago.
Jordan
It aired after the pandemic.
Bridger Whinger
Okay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
But I don't know when the Straight one started. You don't either.
Jordan
No, I don't believe in that one. I don't.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I don't know. Queer One, they've had two seasons of it. The second season just came out.
Jordan
What is this on Netflix? RTV 24. 7.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Honey, it's on Netflix. And of course, the queer one is like more entertaining and also more upsetting because these people, immediate, it's all lesbians. And they immediately make a bond with their new trial wife. They immediately will be my wife.
Jordan
They've met twice.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Their partner.
Jordan
Some of these people have been together with their partner for 10 years. They're like, you're done. Wow. I'm in love with someone else.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes. You have to watch it. I think you would like.
Jordan
But you could go on it. I'm saying, well, why not?
Bridger Whinger
I'll pitch it to him tonight.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. See if he likes it.
Bridger Whinger
Even though I'm the one that says I don't want to get married.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Why?
Bridger Whinger
I think it starts with Mormon culture because I was raised Mormon and like, it was a very marriage dominated culture. So I feel a little allergic to that. And then there's just like, I just don't see any reason to get married. I mean, the only thing that we've ever considered is like health insurance. Like if we get into a thing where one of us needs health insurance. But that's, I mean, that's not the most romantic reason to do anything.
Jordan
Right.
Bridger Whinger
So. But when we started dating, like, I just made it very clear up front. It's like, there's no chance I'll ever get married. And he was kind of. He was like, I would like to get married at some point. But now maybe he's preparing to leave me because he's okay with not getting married anymore.
Jordan
He's gonna give you the ultimatum.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes, absolutely. So what about tax stuff? That's what people normally ask you about.
Bridger Whinger
And I guess I just haven't seen any good hard numbers to convince me.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
People are always like, yeah, you get tax. But I'm like, how much?
Jordan
Well, I can read you like a book and I can tell you we're similar in that I'm like, you could tell me anything about my taxes. You could say, oh, you can write. I know nothing. So I'm just fully making it up. Some people say, oh, it could help you with your taxes. I'm like, okay, how?
Bridger Whinger
Please tell me.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Give me a number if you found, like, give me your gross income. No, no, no. I want to know if, like, what would the number amount have to Be for you to find out that you got such a good deal on your taxes that you would get married. Like, how much money would you have to be getting back from the government?
Bridger Whinger
It would have to be, like, an 80% break.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay. Does that.
Jordan
And we don't know.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And it might be.
Bridger Whinger
And again, I don't even know if that means anything. Like, you could give me an 80% tax break and I'd be like, I'm still getting ripped off. I don't know how it works.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Absolutely.
Bridger Whinger
So I guess it'll never matter.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay. And then the other question that people always ask with that is, like, medical stuff. Like, your partner's in the hospital.
Jordan
Really? Cosplaying. Is your parents here?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I just want to know here's the.
Jordan
Reasons you need to get married.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No, I don't think anyone.
Jordan
Not for yourself, for us.
Bridger Whinger
I don't think anyone will do it.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I'm just so curious, because those are the. Those are the three things that people ask you about, right?
Bridger Whinger
Yeah, of course. And the medical thing. I always go to a place of, like, if it gets. So I'll. I'll be. Either one of us will be so desperate that we'll. We'll find our way into the hospital.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
No one's gonna stop us. Yeah. It's like, well, one of us will be so incon. Incapacitated that it won't matter. I'll be like, I'm dying, so he can deal with it. And he'll be so desperate and angry with the hospital staff that he'll make his way in.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Right.
Bridger Whinger
Right.
Jordan
So you'll do crime to.
Bridger Whinger
Yeah. Love will win.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And that's what they meant with that campaign. Yeah. I think that's wonderful. You did mention you grew up Mormon.
Jordan
You're.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No.
Bridger Whinger
No longer Mormon. Not really an option on the way.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Here, even though we've talked about this before, I was like, oh, we'll post some questions about Mormonism. And Kendall was like, wait, is he Mormon? And I was like, well, he's gay and lives in Los Angeles, so I don't think so.
Bridger Whinger
I'm coming in like a missionary soon.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
We haven't gotten your underwear, so we don't know what you're doing.
Jordan
They're always trying to get. I could totally see them being like, you're gonna be the face of us right now. To show. To get the younger crowd in.
Bridger Whinger
They did that with the lead singer of the Killers. Do you remember this?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
He's Mormon.
Bridger Whinger
Yeah. He was like. They had, like, a commercial with him. He's like, I'm Brandon Flowers. I'm Mormon. I don't know if he's still, you know, I'm Googling it and I feel like famous people, famous Mormons get a little bit of a break. Like they're a little sincere on them.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Who's a famous Mormon?
Bridger Whinger
Let's see. Well, great, great. Question. Him.
Jordan
Well, you used to. You used to be.
Bridger Whinger
I used to be, yeah.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Donny Osmond.
Jordan
Well, but they do. I know with the. And excuse me if I'm repeating myself because I love talking about this, but I know with the vloggers. With the Mormon vloggers, there's a lot of rules that do not count for them. Like, they're allowed to film in temple if they're famous.
Bridger Whinger
Bloggers get to.
Jordan
If they're famous enough.
Bridger Whinger
Whoa.
Jordan
Not all of them, but if you're at a certain echelon, they say, come on in.
Bridger Whinger
Like the whole ritual and everything.
Jordan
I. I don't know enough about what Even a ritual.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
They're allowed to film the ritual.
Jordan
You don't even. What. What's the ritual?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You what? You tell me. What the ritual.
Bridger Whinger
So you can't. Because no one filmed it. Well, actually, people have secretly filmed it.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Or.
Jordan
What is it?
Bridger Whinger
Baptism. A whole ritual.
Jordan
They. They film that.
Bridger Whinger
They film that.
Jordan
I watch the vlogs.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You don't even know what the. You didn't even know what the thing was. You didn't know what the thing was.
Jordan
He had the baptism.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No, play it back. She guessed. She guessed, Richie. She was just guessing.
Bridger Whinger
There's the baptism, but there's also the marriage. There's also the initiation.
Jordan
I don't know anything about the marriage.
Bridger Whinger
You Google this. Like, like ex Mormons who are, like, didn't want to be part of it. Have gone in with, like, spy cameras and filmed.
Jordan
Sure.
Bridger Whinger
Like, sure. You know, probably in like a rose pinned to their chest or something. I don't know how they got it in the Google class.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. I also do have to interrupt and say that from what I'm seeing on Latterday stmusicians Dot, my favorite website, my home screen, Brandon Flowers is apparently, he seems to still be a Mormon and he said he struggled with his effects of his rock star culture and he became more and more committed to his faith throughout the years. So I don't know how up to date this article is, but love to.
Bridger Whinger
Check in with him.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You have to call him.
Jordan
He's next week.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, we'll ask him, then we'll bring you back. So you were Mormon. What is the most absolutely unhinged Mormon dating custom.
Bridger Whinger
Oh. I mean, there are so many. I mean, the first thing is, like, you can't really date till you're 16. And then you're not supposed to date the same person more than once. You're not supposed to go to, like, to a high school dance with more than one person. So you're kind of just thrown into, like, this thing of, like, not understanding how relationships form very early on. So you're not allowed to date until you're 16. You can't date the same person. Although that gets broken pretty often. You're not supposed to really kiss until, like, they. Things start to. I mean, you obviously have to remain a virgin until you get married. That's not that unhinged or crazy. I'm trying to think of other things.
Jordan
But does it differ kind of how Christianity, like, okay, we have some Christians that are super intense about these certain things. And then some Christian parents are like, you do whatever you want. You can have sex. Who cares?
Bridger Whinger
No, the sex thing is pretty much. No. Nobody goes with this. And kissing is, like, at second level. I knew Mormons who didn't kiss until they got married. Yeah. Which is a little like, what. I mean, truly, you are going to be in for such a shock. This whole experience is gonna be real wild for you.
Jordan
We were saying recently that's like a reality show. Like, that. I would watch that as a reality show. People getting. If you were just like, people get married and they don't. Haven't even kissed, and then they move in together that night, like, that's it.
Bridger Whinger
It could be called let's get physical. There we go. We're producing a show.
Jordan
It would kind of have to be pornographic because the only point of the show is they haven't had sex with Kiss.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Bridger Whinger
You would have to commit to a big thing. Did you ever see the reality Husband's not gay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No. And we'd love to know about it.
Bridger Whinger
This has been scrubbed from the Internet, and I'm furious.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Tell us more.
Bridger Whinger
It was. I think it was on tlc. I think it was all Mormon couples. And they. It was, you know, married couples. The husband was gay. Absolutely.
Jordan
But did he know that? Because a lot of them are like, I am gay. But I just pushed.
Bridger Whinger
Yes. They said, like, they were. They identified as, like, sad. Yeah. It is honestly, like, s. Something something. But they said that they weren't gay, but they were married, so they were just making it work.
Jordan
Yeah.
Bridger Whinger
And this was a whole reality show in, like, 2010. So this is why when you said the Ultimatum. It feels like in that same category of, like, sure, very bad relationships. But it's, like, literally nowhere online. I even look to torrent it. Tlc.
Jordan
Wait, what is that?
Bridger Whinger
Do you know what torrenting is?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No. Oh, my God. You're too young. That's disgusting. Wait, we have to get some of these things.
Jordan
I've pirated things before.
Bridger Whinger
How have you. How have you pirated them?
Jordan
I did, for music. I can't remember what it was called.
Bridger Whinger
But I was like, a soul seek.
Jordan
I don't know. It was some website my sister got me. And all the porn is. The first time I saw porn, it pop up.
Bridger Whinger
It might have been a torrent. Like Pirate Bay. Have you ever heard of that?
Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bridger Whinger
It's like torrent.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Stop lying.
Bridger Whinger
You download a file, a small file, then you open the file, and then suddenly everyone that has this file is letting you take from their computers, somehow molds it into one big file.
Jordan
I see, I see.
Bridger Whinger
But nobody's got. My husband's not gay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
That's so sad. I do have to tell you guys about one of my worst anxiety spirals I've ever had.
Jordan
Spirit.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
As someone who's mentally ill medically, I torrented some music. Okay, maybe two years earlier than this instance. And then my mom and I went to see Sister act on Broadway starring Raven. And that's how she pronounces her name now.
Jordan
Right, Sorry.
Bridger Whinger
I'm learning in real time here.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
She doesn't pronounce it Raven Simone anymore. Raven Simone, I believe is how it's pronounced. I'm sorry, Raven. Excuse me. I know you're a huge listener.
Bridger Whinger
Keeping it fresh.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
She was playing Whoopi Goldberg's part in Sister act on Broadway, and my mom and I were down to the front. We got, like, Rush tickets.
Jordan
Day of.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
We were like, front row. Unbelievable. For the final number. Like, what looked like FBI agents in suits, sting operation, came and stood down near the. Like, kind of underneath the stage. And of course, now looking back, I'm like, they were just making sure no one tried to jump up on stage and hug. Raven is what it was. But in my mind, I could not get over the idea that they were there to arrest me for having pirated a Taking Back Sunday cd like, three years earlier. I was convinced I was. Was in. I was maybe a senior in college.
Bridger Whinger
That you got to that place. Very, like, I was old monster under the bed sort of situation.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Absolutely. Yeah. Well, sometimes there's a monster in your brain and stuff like this happens. But I was like, And I knew it was irrational, but I just remember sitting there and being like, okay, no, it's not true. But I can like see them looking around and like the, the final numbers happening. And I was like, and I'm sure it's fine, I'm sure it's fine. But like, what if, like the number ends and then they like put a gun on me, like sniper style, Red dot on my forehead.
Bridger Whinger
What a way to go down.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Oh, can you imagine?
Jordan
Can you imagine if I had a kid, I would explain law to them, which I would hire someone to. I have no idea. But something I felt like, I feel like I struggled with growing up was that I didn't know the level of consequences for things.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Jordan
So I assumed everything was life in prison. Every single thing is life in prison. And I remember similarly an anxiety I took with me until I was 18. I was in maybe sixth grade and I was on FaceTime or Skype or whatever with my friend and I showed my boobs. And she goes, she clearly had had a talk with her mother about. Her mother had said, you can never do that. She goes, kendall, that's really bad. You should not show your boobs on the Internet. Now that's on.
Bridger Whinger
No one has ever done that before.
Jordan
You can't put your boobs on camera. Now that's on the Internet.
Bridger Whinger
Oh no.
Jordan
And I said, but we're on Skype. She said, it doesn't matter if it goes on the Internet, it can't be taken off. And was like, in my head. I remember going, I now have child pornography on my computer, cuz it's of me. And I'm a pornographer, I'm a child pornography owner and I carry this anxiety like any time for years. I was like, I can't, I can't. I need to just be as small as possible because if I get too popular, someone's going to find that footage.
Bridger Whinger
My boobs are bouncing around the Internet.
Jordan
And then I turn 18 and I was immediately like pussy on Snapchat every other day. I didn't care. But for years I was like, oh God, that's gonna bite me in the titties.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, I do need. I've been trying to find the term for a gay man who's married to a straight woman in Mormon culture. I cannot find it. But I will say something did come up on mixed orientation relationships.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, yes, I've heard this.
Jordan
Have you seen the woman on TikTok?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No. There's a woman and a man on TikTok, and we're not Gonna say too much about them because we don't know them. And maybe they'll come on the podcast and we have a lot of questions. But it's a. The couple says that he is a gay man and she is a straight woman, but they are married and they are in love and they do have sex, and he is sexually attracted to her, and they're not religious. These are like New York City Broadway gals, you know? And then people are like, well, isn't he bisexual? And they're like, no, because he's only attracted to gay men. And me, a straight woman, it's above my pay grade ultimately. You know, I don't kind of have enough in the holster to unpack all of that.
Bridger Whinger
That should be called drop in a bucket orientation. Because just one woman and all men.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Sure.
Jordan
And I think we just have to. Because, I mean, if you looked at him, people go, well, isn't he bi? And I say, you guys, look back up, look at him. That's the gayest man I've ever seen in my life. I know you could. Bisexuality can look many different ways.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Except that way, sometimes even married to.
Jordan
This woman, he's holding his wife and talking about having sex with her. And I'm like, that's the gayest man I've ever seen.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
But it seems like apparently that's a big thing in the Mormon community. I think it's very interesting to see this lib couple that's going viral right now for this thing, and it's a thing that seems to be relatively popular in the Mormon community.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, yeah. I mean, that's kind of. Until I was out of it. Like, that's what you're trained to do. It's like, well, you can. They were like, basically, like, you can have those feelings but not act on them. And so you can just be kind of imprisoned for life. Was kind of the thing that they were encouraging you to do?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Were they like, you're gay, but don't worry about it, or were they just, like, thoughts happen? Like, did they label the thing?
Bridger Whinger
No, not really. Because I really didn't have any word to describe it for a very, very long time. Like, I was aware of what. That gay people existed, but I was like, but obviously it can't work for. That can't be me. That doesn't. That's not a real thing. So they don't. They wouldn't give you the vocabulary, but, like, they'd be like, you can have these thoughts. You just can't. I guess God's giving you an extra hard test.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
God's a real son of a bitch, isn't he?
Bridger Whinger
Right? And then I think until you acted on it, then it became a real thing, and then you were put into the therapy or what have you.
Jordan
Programs.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Got it. Okay.
Jordan
The programs, I've been told to call it to be PC, about the. Like the wilderness ones.
Bridger Whinger
I think there were wilderness ones. I think there were some that look more just like therapy. I remember there was a guy in my neighborhood that was like a year older than me that ended up going through it. I think his was kind of therapy looking.
Jordan
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
Except for. With a guy who was. The guy who's in charge of it was not a therapist. I don't know what he did.
Jordan
A life coach.
Bridger Whinger
Life coach, I think truly, like, kind of.
Jordan
But they're getting in trouble. You know, the Mormon Church is getting in some real heat.
Bridger Whinger
I get so much Mormon news from you, too.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Exactly.
Jordan
Right?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Oh, we're always.
Jordan
Well, Jordan this morning was like, well, we could talk about Mormons. Then you said something like, well, but we need to research more. And I said, I don't need to research more. I've done enough. Actually, I have my PhD in a Mormon vlogger.
Bridger Whinger
What's the latest?
Jordan
Well, this isn't. This is old news, really, but new to you two. New to you two.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Idiots.
Bridger Whinger
Losers.
Jordan
But there was, you know, Ruby, Frankie, I'm sure.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, of course.
Jordan
And so that. That therapist, that kind of was the. Which, look, there were red flags for years, but the therapist that. The therapist, quote, unquote, that kind of was the snowball into her going to prison.
Bridger Whinger
Right.
Jordan
Was recommended by the Mormon Church, had had her license revoked.
Bridger Whinger
Right.
Jordan
Previous to being recommended. She's probably recommending a therapist that is, you know, doesn't have a license and had been. Just was kind of their go to gal. And she is absolutely the most insane woman.
Bridger Whinger
She is a demonic person.
Jordan
She, like, truly is demonic. The things I've seen of her, I mean, acts like she's possessed. I mean, she is. She's. And now she's in prison. But. So they were kind of like, we don't. We. She's not. She's not. But something that she would do a lot is say, which I feel like this is common where you'll hear a lot of religious men be like, I have a. I have a porn addiction. I have a sex addiction. I have a. Whatever. And I'm like, some of you might. I'm sure there's a connection to having that and repressing yourself for many years. But also like with her, she was labeling everyone as having like a porn addiction. A sex addiction. And it would like rip these marriages apart.
Bridger Whinger
Right.
Jordan
That's just an interesting.
Bridger Whinger
Yeah. I think a lot of Mormon men, especially if they look at porn more than once, it is now an addiction.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Okay.
Bridger Whinger
It's like, uh, oh, lock me up.
Jordan
I've thought before you go, when, when does it become a porn addiction? Because I've had days where I, you know, didn't take my Vyvanse and I.
Bridger Whinger
Say, you forgot to.
Jordan
When does this become something?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And she left me. No. Do you know what an addiction is?
Jordan
You know, especially once it starts affecting your life.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Right.
Bridger Whinger
When in a bad way. Porn addict her. My porn addiction led to some really good.
Jordan
Yeah.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Lots of clarity on different aspects of my life and made me start going to the gym. This is a hot take question from a fan, but I know you have a lot of strong opinions and so I want to hear your thoughts on this. There's a lot of discussion online about negative impacts of Mormon dating culture, but I'm curious if there are any lessons, skills, philosophies you developed while being raised Mormon that actually helped you when you were dating outside of Mormon culture.
Bridger Whinger
That's a good, that's a really solid question. And I think that like with. Within Mormonism in general, I've taken away some good things from it because it's like you're raised to be honest or to be hard working or to just be a nice person to other people and not expect anything from it. So like I feel like if they could just dial it all the way back to that, they'd be taking over the world.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Boil it down.
Bridger Whinger
But within dating, like respecting the other person, I think being so dialed back as far as sexuality goes that I think you don't really get into any like scary situations as far as consent. I remember like when I was, I mean my, my life. But when I was in la, not out dating woman, I remember her being like, oh, you're so nice. Like it. So it feels so old fashioned that like you're nice as a, like someone to date. Like you think about doing things and Mormons are very like dating culture. So it's like they're courting. Yeah, they're courting. So it's like, oh yeah, we'll go out to dinner, we'll like, I'll hold the door for you. I'll like treat you like someone I want to bring into my life rather than just that's a really good way.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
To think about it. I'm treating you like someone I want to bring into my life, but I want to trap. Yes.
Jordan
Well, because that's what's wild. Like you say they can't date till they're 16 and then it's like you don't really date. It's like, okay, 16, and now you're finding your husband.
Bridger Whinger
Yeah. Like you might meet the person you're going to spend the rest of your Life with at 16. You won't get married for another. Well, I guess it's been dialed back because now they go on missions younger.
Jordan
Oh, really?
Bridger Whinger
But like getting married at 20.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. And I think all that is bad. But I do think that concept is like dating. Like you're treating someone like you want to bring them into your life. I think is like really nice and not a way a lot of people think about it. And I also, I will never forget when I was still dating men kind of to, you know, you gave me, you showed me yours, I'll show you mine. Yeah. I asked a guy who I, I met doing comedy. I had met more than once. We had talked a decent amount at shows and stuff, clearly got along. I was like, he asked me out. I was like, yeah, do you want to grab dinner? And he was flabbergasted by me asking him to get dinner. He was like, dinner, Dinner. I thought we'd get a drink. Dinner. I was like, we've like met a bunch of times. Like, we could easily have dinner. We could have dinner in a friendship capacity. Like, what dinner? But you'd be shocked by how many people, people think that's kooky.
Bridger Whinger
Just bare bones dating.
Jordan
Yes.
Bridger Whinger
I mean like, and that's funny because. And I also don't drink. I've just like continued the cycle of Mormonism. I just don't have any interest in drinking. But like, when I, when I did start dating men, I would like, we would go out to dinner first. Like, I met my boyfriend at a ramen place. I think I, I suggested, I think he was probably like, wait, he wants to go to dinner at like also if he didn't eat ramen at the, I mean, that's a whole other situation. But yeah, I think that was a shock to him where he's like, oh, we're going on like a date date. So old fashioned.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
That's so cute. Okay, I like that. I think that's a good answer. Okay, well, we Mormon and now we are fine.
Bridger Whinger
My job is done. I am part of the church.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Bridger Whinger
Highly paid.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And what would the number have to be to get you back in the church?
Bridger Whinger
50 bucks.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay. And then the other big question we got about Mormonism. People want to know if soaking's real.
Bridger Whinger
This, I mean, this has been a question for me for, for such a long time. Because before it hit the tick tock or whatever, like, my friends and I made fun of this concept when in college because it was like, it just to me does not make any, like, sense. I just can't imagine that beginning and not ending with sex. You know what I mean? Where it's just like, wait, what's going through anyone's mind in this situation? How is this, like, do you say, let's do this? Or is it like you get to sex and you're like, wait, let's hit the brakes. I'm just gonna look in your eyes?
Jordan
Or is it like you set it up and it's almost way more pornographic where you have to be like, oopsie, I just fell on top of you.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
That's what always feels so bad to me in a lot of, like, sects of Christianity is it's like, it seems like there's a bunch of things where, like, we can't do this thing, but we can try to trick God, right? And that always makes me laugh because I'm like, doesn't that seem like the most punishable offense? Like, I'm gonna go to hell for just naturally being gay. But you don't think you're gonna go to hell for trying to trick God by, like, doing anal to save your virginity for marriage?
Bridger Whinger
And do you know what soaking used to be called?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
What?
Bridger Whinger
The Provo Dip. That's what I first. That's how we knew it as in college. The most disgusting. I mean, both are like, I'm glad.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I never heard that because I would have asked for some if I was at a party. I would have said, the Provo Dip Sounds delicious.

Yes, yes.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
So we wanted our listeners to send in dating, relationship, love, marriage hot takes. And you can tell us if it's a good take or a bad take.
Bridger Whinger
Okay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Are they right or are they wrong?
Bridger Whinger
Okay. Fantastic.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And you have to tell us why. Okay. This person says they will never ever go somewhere in a car with someone they're dating unless they've been on three or more dates.
Bridger Whinger
And I say it's hot or not.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Or good or bad. Right or wrong, stupid or stupid or not stupid.
Bridger Whinger
I think that's bad. Because I think you should. Your person should start paying for gas money as soon as possible.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
I think like after two dates you should know enough that this person's not gonna drive away with you.
Jordan
Yeah.
Bridger Whinger
Third date. Fill it up. Take me on a date.
Jordan
So yours is a fiscal opinion.
Bridger Whinger
A fiscal opinion. I also want to see how you drive as soon as possible.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I agree with that.
Bridger Whinger
It reveals a Lot. Not just about your driving skills, but about road rage.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Courtesy of.
Bridger Whinger
Courtesy. Yes. Music tastes.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Bridger Whinger
Everything.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Depth perception.
Bridger Whinger
Depth perception. Number one.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
So important.
Jordan
I also am like, we've got to get. We have to get out of this 80s feeling that we're all gonna be kidnapped.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
What? Kendall is on one. Absolutely. Lately, she is so upset by. She's like, everyone's so scared of stranger danger in the year 2025. I'm done with everyone.
Bridger Whinger
Satanic panic.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No one's. But she kind of. Kendall's like, no one 2K kidnap you. Yeah. And Kendall doesn't.
Bridger Whinger
You're not that special.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No kids are allowed to go to sleepovers anymore. No. And there's a myriad of reasons.
Jordan
I'm not saying, look, you do what you want with your own kid.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Do what you want with your own kids. But I think it's right in a certain point. I think.
Bridger Whinger
Absolutely.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I think white people in general.
Jordan
Ding ding.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Are very, very scared that crime is going to happen to them unless they outsmart it. And I feel like if you did the stats on it, probably like the most common white on white crime would be like, your husband murdering you.
Bridger Whinger
Absolutely.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
So you don't need to wor. Maybe you should go to sleepover, honey. Yeah. You don't need to worry about that much. But I think we have. You know, people talk about this a lot in the gay community, too, of like, people want community, but they don't want to have to be open or considerate or trusting or selfless. And I think there has to be a fine line because it's like, you want to protect yourself, you want to protect your kids, all these things. But at the same time, like, to create community, you can't just be surrounded by literal or emotional walls.
Bridger Whinger
Well, in high school, you gotta show some trust.
Jordan
Exactly. Well, with the parenting stuff, I feel like, famously, parents nowadays are like, I'm all on my own. There's no village. And I said, well, you made all the village feel like child predators. So we are not allowed to look at your child without feeling like we're gonna get arrested. So, no, I'm not gonna ask if I can come babysit your kid after.
Bridger Whinger
I think third date, you can get into the car. I think second date, you can get into the car to make out.
Jordan
Oh, yeah.
Bridger Whinger
Maybe you're not going anywhere.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay. Okay.
Bridger Whinger
But you can. Then you can sniff around the car, see what they've got in there.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Sure.
Bridger Whinger
You know, might smell bad. Literally smell bad. You find out a lot about somebody in the car.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Really do that's true.
Bridger Whinger
I mean, what if they're just driving a stupid car?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
What's that? A car. What's a stupid car?
Bridger Whinger
Can you imagine? Second date, you find out they're driving a cyber truck. I'm. I'm killing myself. Or even going on the first date.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Absolutely.
Jordan
Would you go on a second date if they were like, Like, I know it's so embarrassing, but I really liked it and I wanted it, and I have it, and I know it's bad.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
That's worse.
Bridger Whinger
There is no excuse. There is zero excuse. Yeah. I'd be like, so you. Wait. What? Knowing they do bad things all the.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Time, that feels like premeditated murder versus just like, accidental manslaughter. Do you know what I mean? Like, accidental manslaughter is just like, oh, whoops, sorry. I didn't look when I was turning. And then. And I had a cyber truck. Cybertruck. Premeditated murder is like, I decided to murder, and then I went out next. Yeah.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, like a G wagon. If I saw it.
Jordan
Don't say that.
Bridger Whinger
Do you like a G wagon?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Isn't that disgusting? We'll never have one.
Bridger Whinger
We've got to get you off of that.
Jordan
Don't worry. It's my dream. We had a guess.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
She's new money. She doesn't know.
Jordan
I always say God sent me Jordan the second I got. I'm not trying to say I'm rich, but I used to have just an obscenely amount of little money. I had no money, and thank God I was with Jordan when I got a true job, or I would be right now, full Gucci tracksuit. Oh, no glass, sunglasses on.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I would be $100,000 in debt.
Jordan
I'd have a cybertruck key in this hand. I would have a G wagon key in this hand.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
It would be a nice loan shark's banging down the door to kill her. All right, next hot take. I think flirting outside the relationship is healthy and can be a hot way to connect with your partner.
Jordan
Well, what now? That's a whole different thing. So you're flirting in front of your partner, maybe. Or is this like you go out to a bar yourself and you're flirting?
Bridger Whinger
So it's just. You're looking for an out.
Jordan
You're looking for an escape.
Bridger Whinger
I feel like that's bad.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
Unless the relationship is, well, okay, now it's fun to flirt, and it's hard not to flirt sometimes.
Jordan
I find that with. With lesbians, even, like, we'll have guests on the podcast, so obviously it's not In a bad way, because we're both here together and we're in on camera. So we're not trying to do something we're not supposed to do. But we'll have lesbians on. And afterwards, our producer will be like, you all are so flirty when you're with other lesbians.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
We're not the energy. Flirty.
Jordan
Energy can be flirty, and it is fun. But I think if the. But I think there's people. You know, I think I do a lot of flirting with people I would never date.
Bridger Whinger
I was about to say it's safe that way.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes. I flirt a lot with men.
Bridger Whinger
Okay, sure.
Jordan
Gay men and straight men.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Well, because nothing's gonna happen.
Bridger Whinger
Right? It's.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And I think straight men love to flirt with a lesbian. Not once again. Not in a perverted way. Not we're on top of each other. But, like, there'll sometimes be, like, a nice. Not flirting. We're not, like, having sex flirting like that. No, but sometimes there will just be, like, a night, you know, a nice guy that I, like, work with or something, and he'll be like, okay, look at this outfit. And I'll be like, look at me. Look at you. Handsome. Whatever. Just, like, fun, Very G rated, very normal. It feels fun and flirty. But, like, absolutely nothing will come of it because we are not interested in each other at all. I think in reality, what it is is just being nice. But I think being nice, it's so easy for it to become being flirty with someone of your orientation.
Jordan
Oh, I don't think it's being nice. I think it's like the opposite. Not just sound. I'm not trying to be like.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I don't think flirty's being nice. I think it's being mean.
Jordan
I think if I'm flirting with someone, I'm doing a lot of negging, teasing. A lot of teasing. Like, a lot of gentle teasing.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You didn't do that with me.
Bridger Whinger
Okay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
But I think.
Jordan
Well, I do that with you constantly. Oh, now. But when you're supporting you is making fun of you.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
We're gonna bully each other.
Jordan
Yes.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Y. Not when you were courting me.
Jordan
When I was courting you.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I can't with that word. So I don't know if I ever.
Jordan
I. Well, we also didn't meet, and I think if we'd met at a bar, we, like, planned a date during COVID via Zoom.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
It's just different.
Jordan
It would've been weird if, like, I was, like, dming you to set up a date. And I Was, like, negging you.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And also, you're ugly. Yeah.
Jordan
So I think that. But if I'm, like, flirting with someone. Yeah. It's more just, like, teasing. But I think if there's ever someone that I'm like, oh, if I wasn't with Jordan, maybe I would, like, I don't even know, have an example. That'd be crazy to give an example.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, I know. I'd say, my friend and Arsha call.
Jordan
Me, which I was with. I would never do that to them. I would be very, like, not. Let's not. I'm not gonna.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Or someone who might get the wrong idea. Do you know what I mean?
Bridger Whinger
Like someone who's a moron.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes, exactly. That doesn't get it. I just think that, like, it has to be the right place and the right time and the right person. If that's your vibe, if you know there. If you're a cheater, you can't do it. Sorry. You can't have fun flirting if you're a cheater. If you've cheated in the past. Past, that's off the table for you. It's only if you're devastatingly loyal and infatuated with your partner.
Jordan
Well, because we'll come home after a thing and we'll be like, that girl was so hot.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Oh, my God.
Jordan
We're not thinking, like, what does that mean for us?
Bridger Whinger
You're stating a fact. I mean, how could you not state that? It's like, that painting was so beautiful. That movie was great.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Bridger Whinger
I think this person. I think it's okay for everyone except.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
For this person because they're asking their team.
Bridger Whinger
Yeah. They're looking for permission right now.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Sorry. Bridger's not gonna give it to you.
Bridger Whinger
I think flirting is a little incestuous in a way that's like brother, sister, teasing. Ah, yes, I agree. I agree a little bit of that in flirting.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I see that.
Bridger Whinger
And now I think I've ruined flirting for everyone.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Now none of us want to do it ever again. Next hot take. If you don't put your political views in your hinge profile, it's an immediate. No.
Bridger Whinger
That'S a bad take.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I agree.
Jordan
I think that's a bad take.
Bridger Whinger
That's a terrible take. No one should. If you. If you put in a terrible political position. Sure. That's a bad idea.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Bridger Whinger
But you shouldn't have to lay it out like your general vibe should. And I hate the idea of, like, getting on and being like, I'm a Democrat. That's the dorkiest possible Thing.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I'm a leftist.
Bridger Whinger
I don't know.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Whatever. It's like, I think so much of political views, too, is like, you really have to put your money where your mouth is. And I think we see so many of these people that are like, I'm a Democrat. And it's like, okay, well, in 2025, that means so little. Right. In so many ways. Like.
Bridger Whinger
Right. I mean, it's like, I drink water.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes. And you could still have, like, really bad takes as a Democrat.
Jordan
Also, you never. Just someone's circumstance. So it's kind of like, okay, well, maybe they're not. You know, they could be more liberal or less liberal than they want their family to know, or. I. I don't know. And, like, they're in a small town. Like, I always have to remember that I live in la. So when we give advice, I do try to be like, okay, but what if I was in a town in Ohio with 30 people? How would I want to act in this scenario? Because I think it feels so easy to just be like, I'm a leftist.
Bridger Whinger
Right.
Jordan
But I don't live in every study where that really is not okay. Also, I think if you're like, I don't know, if you're a white person, I'm like, you can handle whatever is. I. I guess I could understand more if it was, like, someone who was like. I don't know, if I was, like, black and going on a date and I was going on date with a white person, I'd be kind of more like, okay, and what's your.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
What are your parents do for a living? But I agree that you should be able to get that vibe.
Bridger Whinger
Yeah.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And. And then if you go on a date with someone and they end up being, like, secretly alt. Right. Even though they did nothing to display that they might be alt. Right. I think you especially. Once again, as Kendall said, as a white person, you have to just be like, okay, well, bye. And then.
Bridger Whinger
Sorry, you got a story out of it.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Jordan
Like, a date is like, them going into war. Like, they'll be like, that person wasted my hour.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
They're being very morbid about what you're.
Bridger Whinger
Gonna do with the hour.
Jordan
Exactly.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You were gonna do nothing.
Bridger Whinger
Sit around on the dating website.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, exactly.
Jordan
I'm like, it's fine to go on a date. And they'll be like. And they didn't tell me in advance, so I didn't know. So I had. I'm like, who? Your time is not that precious, honey.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. But then ask, like, if you're really, like scared. I don't know. Like, if you're really scared, you're not ready to think of. Well, all I can think of is like, if I were me to be like, is someone homophobic? But I'm like, what? I'm going on a date with a gay person. That doesn't make sense at all or whatever. It happens. But if you, I guess if you were like, like a non binary gender, non conforming person who was really androgynous and you were like, hey, this is my deal with this. How do you feel about that? Or. Or something. Or like, this is how I feel about it and I want to make sure you align with, with me. I think that's totally fine. Have that conversation before. But someone's profile saying whether or not they're a Democrat, a liberal, a leftist, a Republican, whatever.
Jordan
But you know what?
Bridger Whinger
Here we go.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Here we go. She's got, she's all got something to say. Get kidnapped.
Jordan
Back on that, please. No, I. My friend recommended this book to me and I have recommended it to everyone. I have not read it or looked at it, but I find what she said about it very interesting, which is that it was a book about sex and it's a book about like, why there is so much, I guess we would call it lesbian bed death, but across all relationships, a struggle to keep this sexual thing alive.
Bridger Whinger
Right, Right.
Jordan
I guess it's been a problem for many, many years. But I do think something that is relevant to now is that we've taken out all the mystery of everything and you're able to know so much about a person and you feel you feel owed to know all of this information about a person and before you even go on a first date. So it really takes the mystery out of it. And even like with Jordan and I's relationship, when we started dating, it was during COVID so it was like, I wouldn't necessarily say, I mean it was very romantic and wonderful, but I don't know if our first couple weeks dating were like the sexiest because it's a lot of like, well, who's in your pod?
Bridger Whinger
So much logistics as far as just getting all that info on the table.
Jordan
Yes, exactly. And so I think that type of thing in today's day and age, it's really hard to keep sexiness alive and keep, keep sex lives going because people have so much information about their partner. And then I guess as they keep dating, there's just the mystery continues to lessen.
Bridger Whinger
Right. And like this, like totally removing any, any chance at chemistry And a dating profile should not be less romantic than a job application.
Jordan
Yeah, sure.
Bridger Whinger
I mean like you don't have to put that information on job application.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Jordan
And why you're telling me you do pills on your job, Your job.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
That's crazy to me too. When people put in their dating app that they do pills, that's like an option on Hinge. You, you've been out of the market for.
Bridger Whinger
That's tough to hear.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You can, you can mark like if you do weed and there's a little weed leaf with a yes, no or sometimes, then there's a pill with a yes, no or sometimes I'm like, why are you telling people you do pills? Are you addicted to pills?
Jordan
How many pills do you have to be doing to put it.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Because I've smoked weed.
Jordan
But I'm not putting I smoke weed in my profile.
Bridger Whinger
Right.
Jordan
Because I'm like, I don't know if that's a good representation of me. I do it ever so often.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
So if you.
Jordan
It's enough to put I do pill, you're doing pills, I do pills. In your bio, that's what you want to present to the world and you're looking for not only do you do pills, you want to find someone who's compatible and does equal amount of pills.
Bridger Whinger
But then also that's not specific enough. If like you have that specific. But then it's like, what type of pills?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Why aren't we going further on opiate?
Bridger Whinger
Yeah. There should be a drop down menu.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Absolutely. I agree, I agree. And I'll tell you what, before long there's going to be a needle emoji in there too. Oh, yes or no? I think it's going to be there.
Bridger Whinger
But let me ask you if you've got the needle.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. Let me ask you if you do heroin. But it's also, let's get back to old times where we could just ask.
Bridger Whinger
Are you messaging me from an alley?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yes.
Bridger Whinger
This kind of thing.
Jordan
But they'll put ethical heroin. I do ethical heroin.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
It's fair trade. My partner knows about it.
Jordan
Because also there, there's no mystery. And even some of it, I'm like, it's so pointless because I also obviously have like, I do want kids. I don't want kids. Which to me for the most part I'm like, that one makes sense to me. If you're looking for, I don't know if you were on like eharmony and you're like a mother who's looking for a really serious relationship. But why is a 21 year old putting, I don't want kids. I. I'm like, you have no idea. Not to say, but even if you say you do want kids, I'm like, you have no idea. You're 21 years old. You have no idea. You have pills in your body. You do pills in your bio.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I want kids, and I do pills.
Jordan
It's just all like, what are we doing here? Takes the sexiness out of it.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. That's why I hide around our apartment for Kendall to find me. Keeps the mystery alive.
Bridger Whinger
Very fun.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
She never knows where I am, and.
Jordan
I'm always just masturbating in the center.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Of the house, hoping to find.
Bridger Whinger
Could Jordan possibly be.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
This person's hot take is your partner should take priority over your friends?
Bridger Whinger
I think that that's perfectly fine. I mean, maybe not, like, so much that your friends are, like, last place. I don't think about you at all the times, but sure. The person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with, like, if their tire's flat on the freeway and your friends is flat on the freeway, you're gonna go to your partner first. Hopefully.
Jordan
You need to help your friend. Your friends are in a 500 cars.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Y. I think that your partner can take priority, but only some. And I think you need to be careful about it, because I think this is how a lot of people become alienated in their own lives, and I think it makes them sad, and I think it makes their relationships worse. I think one reason why Kendall and I have such a good relationship. Why are you laughing?
Bridger Whinger
Kendall told me a few months ago, you have a horrible relationship, a really bad relationship, and it's getting worse.
Jordan
I cry for elf.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I just laugh. Anytime Jordan says something nice about our.
Bridger Whinger
Relationship, I say, we have super cut of you just laughing.
Jordan
No, it's just so confident. I'm just. It's so. It's just so funny to have a relationship podcast. And then we keep just being like, we're so good at being a relationship.
Bridger Whinger
Sorry.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
We are. It just makes me laugh when you.
Jordan
Say we have such a perfect relationship.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Well, I do think we do. I know, but I think that one of the reasons why it is so perfect Kendall laughed at earlier. I think it's because we both have really vibrant friendships that take up a lot of space in our lives. And I think one that gives me perspective of how I should treat people and how people should treat me. Because you have a larger sample size, I think it's easy to get, like, wrapped wrapped up with just one Partner. And then things can get, like, a skew of how you should treat each other. I also think it helps you keep a personal life, and I think it helps you feel supported in a. You know, it's great. Let's say you're gonna jump off a building and underneath, there's gonna be, like, a thing to catch you.
Bridger Whinger
Okay. Okay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Do you want one person in the center to catch you, or do you want a bunch of people holding onto the big tarp?
Bridger Whinger
Sure. Jordan. Kendall catches you and dips you into a kiss.
Jordan
That's all you need.
Bridger Whinger
I think that's the answer.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
All right, well, what I want.
Bridger Whinger
You should see no one.
Jordan
Or do you have 50 people catching you and all trying to kiss you at once?
Bridger Whinger
Oh, God. It's too much.
Jordan
Too much. But even I say even take friends out of it. It's like, I think if you. Because there's a lot. I think it's so, like, oh, if you have a bunch of friends, that's good. People are like, if you have a bunch of friends with a partner, that means you have a healthy relationship.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Kendall's getting defensive because she doesn't have as many friends as me.
Jordan
I don't. Well, I'm much more of a lone wolf, deeply unpopular.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Jordan
When I said you're my best friend earlier. No, I have close friends, but I definitely have a smaller circle of friends. But I also, like, I take a lot of time to myself. Like, I do. I have a lot of hobbies that are individual hobbies. I read a lot. I go to the gym. I. Whatever. And like. To me. So I just. For the introverts in listening, it doesn't have to be that when you're not with your partner, you're with a bunch of girls in Vegas. Whatever. But I think time away from your partner can give you perspective.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
But you still have a lot of. Of friends.
Jordan
Well, I'm very charming and brave.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I know you're. You have a lot of friends, so I think that's. You don't have to be with your friends all the time. Especially as you get older, that gets harder. People have kids. Like, you know, you got stuff going on, but I think you. It's. It's good to have good, strong friendships. It will never do you wrong.
Bridger Whinger
Absolutely. Yeah. I think your partner should have an edge but not dominate.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I agree.
Jordan
Well, I think also they wouldn't often. Unless you're a ship partner, they wouldn't have to ask that much. Like, I feel like you are prioritized over my friend, but I don't ever have to even think about that because you've never, like, asked me to do that.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
It's not like. And neither have our friends. My friends are never like, you need to put me above Kendall.
Bridger Whinger
Can you imagine?
Jordan
I actually can't imagine it, unfortunately. I can picture it really clearly.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
This person says it's not weird to meet someone's parents super early if they're very close to the them.
Bridger Whinger
I mean, I think that's even weirder. Like, I think the whole. That whatever it was just described is.
Jordan
Extremely weird made me very uncomfortable.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Like, I can't even process it or repeat it back to you, but I hated every minute of it. Say so. Say what? You think that.
Bridger Whinger
Okay, first of all, people who get along with their parents are weird.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Sorry, sorry. Your jealousy showing. I'm close to my parents. Sorry.
Bridger Whinger
I'm close to my parents, but not in, like, a friend way.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
But I like. I think meeting your partner's parents real soon is a bad idea.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I agree.
Bridger Whinger
I think, like, you need to. You need to know your partner enough that when you see the parents, you can be like, okay, start making those connections rather than it becoming this muddy mess of, like, I don't know what. Who's affecting who. I'm like. And it should be a special thing that, like, you're part. So the parents also feel like it's.
Jordan
A special thing because you're also. I'm assuming your parents are emotionally immature. I would just assume that these people's. Because it just is more often than not. And I feel like so much with parents, you're just desperately trying to take away to make them know they don't have as much power as they think they do.
Bridger Whinger
Yes.
Jordan
And I think when you and Mom. This is not about you. I love you very much. I'm just saying, I've seen from the sample sizes of people's parents, it's like if you bring a person in early, the parents think they have more control. They're like, okay, you are. I know this person similar to Lee. You know them because I met them near the same time, and I. My say is being taken into account, and it's like their say cannot be taken into account.
Bridger Whinger
No.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah. I think even if you're. I'm very close with my parents. My parents are cool. We get along. Kendall and I are very close with them. But I still think it's weird because my parents don't want to meet some, like, random ass person. Do you know what I mean? Like, my parents don't want me to come over to the house and like, oh, I just met this person.
Bridger Whinger
They'd be like, okay, stop wasting our hour.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
So it's a friend. Yeah, it's just like, it's, it's weird. And your parents will behave weird. No matter how cool your parents are, your parents like will behave weird. All parents have, have like eccentricities and quirks and stuff. And it's like, does someone you just started dating need to see all your parents eccentricities? All your parents, show them some of your parents also.
Bridger Whinger
It's like, then are you also meeting the siblings? It's just like, it's too much, it's too fast to meet each other's parents.
Jordan
Well, oh.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Months in. Because I, you met my parents on my birthday and I started dating in October.
Bridger Whinger
Okay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And my birthday's at the, the day end of, of March.
Jordan
Now we were long distance because. So it was a little more, I think we might have met earlier, but.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Because my parents live here in LA as well. So I think that's also a big difference.
Jordan
So.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Right.
Jordan
In that way we went faster. I think it's also crazy when I hear about people like they, they live a 10 hour flight from their parents, they're introducing a person they met two months in. I'm thinking of it as like, we live right next to Jordan's parents. So of course we met. But to fly someone to like Christmas, I'm like, that's like a year and.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
A half, two years.
Bridger Whinger
You gotta remember it's a get out situation.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Right.
Jordan
But also with you, you growing up Mormon, I feel like they all know each other.
Bridger Whinger
You already know their parents, right? Yeah, they live next door to you.
Jordan
So it's like, was there someone they were like, you will marry her?
Bridger Whinger
No. Thank God. There was none of that pressure. But yeah, I feel like Mormons are good at socializing. But I mean you would marry someone within a half mile radius probably.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Sure.
Bridger Whinger
Half mile to a mile. Someone at your high school cousins.
Jordan
I've heard they do second cousins, right?
Bridger Whinger
Second cousins, third. No, no. Mormon. I knew.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
All right.
Bridger Whinger
Although I've just heard about an ex Mormon who's now in a relationship with his first cousin.
Jordan
Be gay.
Bridger Whinger
No, straight. Straight couple.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Isn't that illegal?
Bridger Whinger
Not one of them is British.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
God, yes, you're right. Not if one of them is British.
Jordan
Because it's not under American law.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
What?
Bridger Whinger
Oh, actually, no, they're both British. What am I talking about? They're both British people who are dating a. They're British and they're Mormon and they're Ex Mormon.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And you know them?
Bridger Whinger
I know them through a friend.
Jordan
Are they royalty?
Bridger Whinger
No, but I guess it is kind of. I mean, it's. I guess England's reinforcing these stereotypes. They are kind of. They love to get in there.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
But it's illegal for them to have kids.
Bridger Whinger
Certainly it must be. Right?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay, I have a question then. We have time for one more question. Are funeral potatoes as good as they look?
Bridger Whinger
They can be.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
What's the secret? The secret is to cook the potatoes correctly so they're soft. I've had a lot that have an undercooked potato. And then it's like I'm now eating a kind of a slimy, hard potato.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Bridger Whinger
They have to be cooked well. You have to use a good cheese, a sharp cheddar. Okay.
Jordan
Shredded yourself. You shred it.
Bridger Whinger
You've got to shred it. Don't buy the bag. Are you kidding me? I've. Somebody recently said you should also use cream of chicken in addition to the sour cream.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Okay.
Bridger Whinger
Is that what it is?
Jordan
Cream of mushroom?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I think you could use cream of mushroom or chicken. I think either would be good.
Bridger Whinger
And then you've got. The cornflakes have to be put on right before being served so they're not getting soggy. And you can also put a little onion in there. With the potatoes, you can get a little fancier. So it's not salt. The potatoes.
Jordan
Do you make a good one?
Bridger Whinger
No. But I'm like. I'm like, why am I not making those?
Jordan
Yeah.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I would love for us to get together and make some funeral potatoes. Sorry. I've heard that.
Bridger Whinger
Fine, I'll do it. Thank you.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You're Mormon again. We had a lot of people writing in saying hiking should never, under any circumstances, be a first date.
Bridger Whinger
Absolutely.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I agree.
Bridger Whinger
I think that. That you're not going to have a normal conversation. You're both going to be tired. One of you will definitely like hiking less than the other person. If you're in Los Angeles, it's going to be my least favorite place to hike in the world. Griffith park, which is just dust and chain links.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Hell on earth.
Bridger Whinger
Oh. I think it's. There's just simply. You have. You should be sitting somewhere where you can have a neutral, ish place for a conversation.
Jordan
But similar to what we're saying is nice about Mormon dating, I'm going to become Mormon after this.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Jordan
Is like, there's. I feel like a need for people to be like, it's not really a date. Like, they're trying to make it as Little date, like, as possible. Because they're like, it's nervous and awkward. Makes me nervous, and it's awesome. Awkward. To sit across from someone and be like, do we like each other? I'm like, that's a day.
Bridger Whinger
Grow up.
Jordan
Truly.
Bridger Whinger
It is so ridiculous. Come on.
Jordan
And I think that's what hike is giving. I'm like, you've just made it the least romantic. There's no tension. You're both sweating. You're both wearing ugly outfits. That's not a date.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah.
Jordan
And it doesn't feel like a date. And then they're like, I was getting friend vibes. I'm like, yeah, when Jordan and I hike, it's giving friend vibes.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
It's giving enemy vibes. Actually, it's not happening.
Jordan
There's really not fun. We don't get to the top of a mountain and are like, thank God we kiss.
Bridger Whinger
No, you shouldn't go through something on your first date.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, no, I agree. No, I agree. Okay. We have a couple more. I just want to do rapid fire. You can say good or bad.
Bridger Whinger
Okay.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Everyone should date long distance at some point because it tests your communication skills.
Bridger Whinger
Bad dating.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Dating is actually a ton of fun.
Bridger Whinger
Good.
Jordan
Good for you.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
It's absolutely not worth it to live with someone.
Bridger Whinger
1.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I cannot explain the sheer joy of living alone.
Bridger Whinger
Oh, I. I love being alone. But bad Take.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You should date your friends.
Bridger Whinger
What, Exclusively?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I don't know.
Jordan
Date your friends.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
All of them.
Bridger Whinger
That's just the pool.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Good or bad?
Bridger Whinger
Bad.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Bring up topics like kids and career goals on the first date so you don't waste time.
Bridger Whinger
Good.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You actually don't want to open your relationship. You should just break up.
Bridger Whinger
Bad.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
You're pro polygamy.
Jordan
I'm pro.
Bridger Whinger
Do whatever you want to. Keep the whatever feels great for the relationship.
Jordan
Yes, I agree.
Bridger Whinger
People who are like, just break up. Give me a break. It's because it happened.
Jordan
Jordan says that all the time.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Me?
Jordan
Jordan's been trying to break up with you?
Kendall Jordan Myrick
No. I think that a lot of people should just break up, because people will write into this podcast, and they'll be like, my husband refuses to watch our children ever. He has no job, and he has a boyfriend that I've never met. He takes all my money, and he keeps crashing our car. How do I make our relationship work for the long term? And I'm like, divorce. Well.
Jordan
But also, sometimes it's just bad.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
And it's not. It's not. Not everything needs to be salvaged. And, like, staying in a bad relationship is not a Point of pride. It's not a sign of power or strength. It's like, if something's really not working and am once again, like, I'm in it to win it with Kendall, like, I will stick by her side through thick and thin, but at the same time, like, if you're genuinely unhappy, especially if you're both genuinely unhappy, you've worked on it, it's just not happening. Like, if you date for 30 to 60 years, it's like, a lot changes. You might not be supposed to be with that person for that whole time.
Jordan
Well, that's the thing. I think we. We have, like, if there, you're always having problems, but I think if you're someone who, like, you guys don't have a ton of problems and you're really happy, and then something like opening a relationship comes up or moving somewhere, then I'm like, just figure it out.
Bridger Whinger
Yeah, maybe. Think it through.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
All right, Bridger. Most people know where to find you, but tell them where they can find you just in case they don't.
Bridger Whinger
I have the podcast. I said no gifts. These two were on was fantastic. We have a Patreon now. I'm recapping Secret lives of Mormon wives. Patreon.com I said no gifts. I'm gonna go to Utah next week and go to Swig and try to go to some of the locations. I'm so excited.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
I love that for you. I think.
Bridger Whinger
Then online in general, type my name into whatever search bar you want.
Jordan
You'll find something.
Bridger Whinger
Go crazy. Yeah, I love get nasty with it.
Jordan
Oh, my God. Thank you so much for being here. We always have such a good time hanging out.
Kendall Jordan Myrick
Yeah, you're wonderful. And as you know, this is a fully independently created and produced podcast by Kendall and I, with some help from the incredible people here at 7 Equus and Blake, our producer.

Happy Wife Happy Life - Episode 74: Dating HOT TAKES ft. Bridger Whinger
Release Date: July 28, 2025
Hosts: Kendahl Landreth and Jordan Myrick
Guest: Bridger Whinger
In this lively and humorous episode of Happy Wife Happy Life, hosts Kendahl Landreth and Jordan Myrick welcome guest Bridger Whinger to dive deep into the world of dating hot takes. Bridger, known for hosting his own popular podcast, joins the duo to share his unique perspectives and experiences, particularly shaped by his Mormon upbringing and a decade-long relationship.
The conversation kicks off with the hosts introducing the reality show The Ultimatum, a program that brings together couples facing pivotal relationship decisions. Initially featuring straight couples grappling with differing views on marriage, the show has evolved to include queer relationships, adding layers of complexity and entertainment.
Bridger Whinger (00:44):
"Have you ever thought of it? I don't know what the Ultimatum is."
Kendahl and Jordan provide an overview of the show's format, highlighting the intense and often dramatic scenarios participants face, such as switching partners and making difficult choices about their future together.
Kendahl Landreth (02:12):
"You can be with your new person, you can be with your old person, or you can leave alone. So those are the three options."
Bridger delves into his Mormon background, discussing how his upbringing has influenced his views on relationships and marriage. He candidly shares his reluctance to marry, despite being in a long-term relationship, citing cultural and personal reasons.
Bridger Whinger (04:44):
"I was raised Mormon and like, it was a very marriage dominated culture. So I feel a little allergic to that."
The hosts and Bridger discuss the stringent dating norms within the Mormon community, such as restrictions on dating before a certain age, limits on courtship practices, and the emphasis on eventual marriage. Bridger reflects on how these practices have shaped his approach to modern relationships outside the Mormon framework.
Jordan Myrick (10:24):
"With the Mormon vloggers, there's a lot of rules that do not count for them. Like, they're allowed to film in temple if they're famous."
Transitioning into the main segment, Dating Hot Takes, listeners' opinions on various relationship topics are evaluated by Kendahl, Jordan, and Bridger. Each take is discussed to determine its validity and impact on modern dating dynamics.
Hot Take 1: Never Go Somewhere in a Car on a First Date Unless on Three or More Dates
Bridger Whinger (28:06):
"I think that's bad. Because I think you should. Your person should start paying for gas money as soon as possible."
The trio debates the practicality and implications of this take, emphasizing the balance between safety and allowing the relationship to develop naturally.
Hot Take 2: Flirting Outside the Relationship is Healthy
Bridger Whinger (32:31):
"I feel like that's bad. Unless the relationship is, well, okay now it's fun to flirt, and it's hard not to flirt sometimes."
They explore the boundaries of flirtation within committed relationships, considering how it can either enhance connection or lead to misunderstandings.
Hot Take 3: Putting Political Views in Your Dating Profile is an Immediate No
Bridger Whinger (36:28):
"That's a bad take."
Jordan Myrick (36:30):
"I think that's a bad take."
The hosts agree that while political compatibility is important, forcing it into dating profiles can be limiting and overly prescriptive, potentially missing out on meaningful connections.
Several listener-submitted hot takes are dissected, revealing diverse opinions on relationship norms and expectations.
Hot Take 4: Everyone Should Date Long Distance at Some Point Because It Tests Your Communication Skills
Bridger Whinger (53:14):
"Bad dating."
The panel critiques the practicality of this notion, arguing that while communication is vital, long-distance dating poses significant challenges that may not be beneficial for all relationships.
Hot Take 5: Bring Up Topics Like Kids and Career Goals on the First Date to Avoid Wasting Time
Bridger Whinger (53:57):
"Good."
This take receives approval for promoting honesty and clarity early in the dating process, ensuring that both parties are aligned in their long-term goals.
Throughout the episode, Bridger offers personal anecdotes and reflections that provide deeper insights into his relationship philosophy. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining strong friendships outside of romantic partnerships to foster a balanced and fulfilling life.
Bridger Whinger (21:13):
"Within dating, like respecting the other person, I think being so dialed back as far as sexuality goes that I think you don't really get into any like scary situations as far as consent."
Bridger also discusses the concept of "soaking" in Mormon culture—a purported practice meant to preserve virginity while engaging in intimate acts—and dispels its practicality and authenticity.
Bridger Whinger (24:28):
"I just can't imagine that beginning and not ending with sex."
Episode 74 of Happy Wife Happy Life offers a blend of humor, candid discussions, and insightful takes on contemporary dating practices. With Bridger Whinger's unique perspective and the hosts' engaging dialogue, listeners gain valuable takeaways on navigating modern relationships, the influence of cultural backgrounds, and the evolving norms of dating.

Bridger Whinger (05:05):
"People are always like, yeah, you get tax. But I'm like, how much?"
Jordan Myrick (15:06):
"You can't put your boobs on camera. Now that's on the Internet."
Bridger Whinger (32:31):
