• The hosts contrast Catherine’s composure and “glow” post-divorce to Austin McBroom’s ongoing, cringeworthy public commentary:

  “He was sucking the energy out... now she’s the star, and he’s still trying to feed off her.” — Moses (48:56) “The fact that he says something— even if you say 'I’m happy for her', just say nothing. That’s great.” — Moses (53:08)

• Discussion about spiritual awakenings (ayahuasca, ego death) and moving on after public relationships.

• Ongoing FYP appearances and continued “apology” content from Ned Fulmer frustrate Trisha.

• Critique of his repeated deflections, especially using his wife as a “human shield” after the Try Guys scandal:

  “Stop using your wife…stop talking about her.” — Trish (73:55) “You keep popping on my page and that face…just looks like someone’s trying to weasel his way out of everything.” — Trish (72:13)

• Moses suggests true redemption would come from real, sustained service — not a podcast.

• Repeated theme: tiredness with influencer “self-help” podcasts, especially by those who haven’t demonstrated growth.

10. Colleen Ballinger’s PR “Apology” Tour

Timestamp: 82:18 – 108:20

• Trish revisits the emotional impact and anxiety of Colleen Ballinger’s past actions, including the sending of nudes and manipulative group chats with minors.

• Moses deconstructs Colleen’s recent “tea time” podcast PR blitz:

  “They were literally handing her the talking points as she was going.” — Moses (85:17)

• Both hosts stress that calling out grooming, abuse of power, and manipulation is not “drama,” but a necessary stance, especially when apologies are absent:

  “I think, like, how can you not…just not say sorry?” — Trish (92:14)

• Key discrepancies are called out: shifting blame, refusal to use “children” or “grooming” language, relying on “comedy was different back then” justifications, and weaponizing motherhood as an excuse.

• Frustration that the interviewers seemed either underinformed or complicit in furthering the “moving on” PR approach.

• Consensus: Only genuine accountability (“say sorry,” direct amends, not PR retellings) will suffice, and both Ned and Colleen’s public approaches remain deeply insufficient.

• The episode closes with encouragement to the audience:

  “Take care of yourself. Take care of each other. Take care of your mental stability…Protect your peace.” — Trish (108:20)
