Key Discussions & Insights
1. Oscars Recap & Aftermath
- Oscars “Horror Invasion”: Sinners wins big; Trisha and Moses discuss how the film “felt” and why it overshadowed others like Marty Supreme and Timothée Chalamet’s project.
- "It made me feel—like, it hurts you, you know, so it's just like I felt it, I liked it. And more than I can say for Marty Supreme, honestly." – Trisha (27:51)
- Oscars Show Critique: The show’s pacing, the awkward cutting off of winner speeches, and excessive "synergy" moments (Disney, Marvel, etc.) over genuine moments.

2. Jake Shane’s Oscars Red Carpet Interview Controversy
- What Happened:
- Jake Shane (with Brittany Broski & Quen Blackwell) was tasked with interviewing stars for Vanity Fair’s Oscars party.
- Shane goes off-script asking Julia Fox (about the Oscar-nominated “If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You”): “Do you think the kid was annoying? You know, that kid was so damn annoying. And it's the kid that's sick.” (00:00, replayed at 83:13)
- Julia Fox handles it gracefully, but social media (esp. Twitter) tears into the “out-of-touch influencer” energy.
- Quote: "Twitter is diabolical. ... You get really big and like lifted up to be like, you know, then kind of people want to drag you down a little bit" – Trisha (92:20)
- Hosts’ Take:
- Trisha: “I think it needs to be dragged out a little more … Sometimes it works really, really well. And I think for the Oscars, though, because it is like, I would not be a good fit for the Vanity Fairy car because I've only seen two of the films.” (84:39)
- Moses: “Time and place! Jake Shane is a good interviewer but I think it just didn’t work in this instance.” (85:29)
- Both reflect on the difference between podcast/internet humor and red carpet etiquette, likening “cringe” influencer moments to learning curves.
- “I think Jake Shane might fall into that category. Especially like it’s something like motherhood, right?” – Trisha (91:17)
3. Brooke Schofield's Courthouse Wedding – Internet Overkill
- What Happened:
- Brooke eloped, wearing her signature slicked-back bun and a white two-piece suit. She shared "should I wear a slick back bun for my wedding?" on TikTok, received a wave of negative opinions, and upon posting photos was roasted for her “ugly” look—even by fans.
- Hosts’ Take:
- Moses (with classic incredulity): “It was such a fervor. Everyone was chiming in. ... She looked fine. It was like a two piece outfit again at a Santa Barbara coastal courthouse wedding.” (152:24)
- Trisha: “It is crazy to me … it does hurt worse when it comes from your own fans.” (151:19)
- Both agree: Internet cruelty to young women — especially on milestone days — is bizarrely normalized. They advocate for blocking, not reading DMs, and moving on.
- “She said she loved it and she should have leave it at that. Like, I thought I looked beautiful. I was like, then, that. That’s it. Period. Done.” – Trisha (157:38)

- Home food hacks: When it’s best to go to restaurants for fresh food/oil (3:51), secrets for getting extra at fast food, sushi/Omakase anniversary mishaps.
- Sinners/Frankenstein viewing: Trisha insists Sinners is "definitely horror;" Moses splits hairs on definitions.
5. Mormon Wives Reality Show – Reality Toxicity Explored
- Trisha's Rant—Fire and Fury:

- "Men are awful. They're awful. Awful." – Moses (126:32)
- Jealousy & Internet Drama:
- Trisha contrasts her past jealousy with Tana Mongeau’s attitude: “If you are jealous of someone else ... it’s because something’s hurting you. There’s something in your life that's not making you happy.” (116:04)
- Call for Growth:
- “I think now ... we need to see some growing and less going back to the same bullshit … You're the Bachelorette. I don't know. I guess they don't care anymore about their … brand.” – Trisha (115:40)
- Advocates for women supporting women, calls for less toxic drama, longing for uplifting reality TV.
