Date: November 6, 2025

Overview

In this lively episode, Nikki and Brie Garcia (The Bella Twins) invite listeners into their unfiltered world, diving into social media absurdities, Halloween family fun, wrestling rituals, and embracing life’s “L’s” (losses). The sisters deliver their signature banter—part confessional, part stand-up—with plenty of listener engagement, a new “Ring Rookie Question” segment, and reflective inspiration to cap things off. Whether you’re a wrestling superfan or just here for the sisterhood vibes, there’s something candid, relatable, and empowering in every minute.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Social Media Weirdness & The “IG Police”

• Nikki shares a disturbing DM story where her makeup artist is hit with an absurd “fart and diaper” comment from a stranger (01:07).
  • Nikki: “She wrote, ‘You’re so hot,’ and a guy responds, ‘Mommy, I want to hug you and fart on you while I’m wearing those same exact black leather shorts … with a diaper or a pull-up on under them.’” (01:07)
  • Both hosts riff on the need for Instagram “police” and how bizarre internet interactions have gotten.
  • Brie, jokingly: “I would love to be the Instagram police and write that person and be like, right now we’re searching for your address. It’s you.” (01:57)
  • Discussion shifts to how growing up they weren’t even allowed to say “fart”—it was “bunny” in their family (03:34).

2. Family & Halloween Recap

• Nostalgia and laughter over strict upbringing on “ladylike” behavior, humorous language rules, and how that’s shifted now with their own kids.
  • “Fart was like saying the F word,” Brie recalls (04:28).
• Detailed debrief of their family Halloween, costume mishaps, and parent obligations.
  • Nikki reveals she tried on her costume only the night before, discovering it was “the hoe version”—which meant lots of Spanx required (10:10).
  • The joy of seeing their kids choose costumes and the chaos of Halloween night: “It’s crazy how long it takes … and you just don’t get time for yourself. Which is fine, it’s about them anyways.” (11:39)
• Eco-friendly PSA: Brie encourages listeners not to landfill old costumes—suggests recycling programs like Retold and sanctuary donations for pumpkins (13:58-14:24).

3. Wrestling Life & Post-Match Rituals

A Look Behind the Curtain

• Nikki shines a light on RAW, crowd energy in New Mexico, and the thrill of working with her tag team partner Stephanie.
  • “New Mexico was fire—like one of my faves. Bella Army strong. There were Bremo signs … and some people in Eagle jerseys!” (26:09)
• The sisters celebrate the evolving era of women in wrestling, excited by new attitudes and backstage dynamics:
  • “We are trained so different … these women are trained that way. It’s very different. And so it’s cool to have these conversations.” (32:54)

Post-Match Rituals (Listener Question: 35:19)

• Nikki:
  1. Orders room service immediately post-show (“Last night I did have to get a glass of wine.” 36:02)
  2. FaceTimes Brie to debrief the match while taking a hot shower (“She always FaceTimes me in the shower.” 36:30)
  3. Quick skincare routine, then eats in bed, sometimes with patches (Tiger Balm), decompresses with a show.
  • “I gotta go be by myself in my hotel room … the majority of the time, I have to go decompress solo.” (37:17)
• Brie:
  • Shares similar strategy: hot shower, stretching, bone broth if possible—emphasizing the need for quiet after “giving so much energy out.” (37:51, 38:06)
  • Both contrast their current routines with “back in the day” when decompressing = going out and partying. Now, even younger wrestlers prefer rest.
    • “You have to think— we didn’t have social media back then. Now ... social media drains you emotionally and even physically.” (39:25, 39:51)

4. Fun & Games: Holding L’s (Losses)

A hilarious segment where the sisters are thrown into “delightfully chaotic scenarios” and have to choose—do they take the “L” (loss) or swerve out of embarrassment?

• Highlights include:
  • Forgetting napkins for a bake sale (43:08): “I’m taking the L, writing that out … they can wipe it on their shirt.” – Nikki
  • Champagne disaster at their Bonita Bonita pop-up (44:07): “I would blame Brie mode!” – Nikki
  • Red carpet snub (46:54): Brie would “steal the spotlight anyway,” Nikki is “too embarrassed.”
  • Shouting the wrong city name at a live show (47:42): Both would laugh it off.
  • Sitting next to your ex on a flight (48:37): Both would “Hold the L, say cheers, and never look bothered.”

5. Affirmations, Reflection, & Laugh-Out-Loud Sister Banter

• Notable Quotes:

  • Nikki: “Behind every dumb is a pack of dumber cheering that dumbass on so she can become an even dumber.” (49:12)
  • “I’m okay with being a villain in your story. You’re a loser in mine.” – Nikki (49:56)
  • Paulo Coelho quote (by Brie): “Maybe the journey isn’t about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you so that you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” (50:21)

• The twins use these quotes to reflect on identity, family pressure, and breaking out of old molds, encouraging everyone (at any age) to “unbecome” what’s expected and embrace authenticity.

  • Brie: “I think you can unbecome at any age. … Even now, 41, you can still unbecome.” (52:47)
  • Nikki reframes the so-called midlife crisis: “Let’s call it now ‘unbecoming.’ We’re just unbecoming what you all wanted us to be.” (52:57)
