Justin Richmond
This is Justin Richmond from Broken Record. Are you the kind of person who sets standards for themselves? Like personally, I told myself if the Lakers lose their do or die Game five, I wouldn't let it impact my mood at home with family. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feelings and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in machines that make you feel more human, because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer Hey.

Two T's in a pod with Teddy Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.
Teddi Mellencamp
Hi, guys. Welcome to the twat seat with myself, Teddi Mellencamp, and Tamara. Today we have on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, we've got Macy Neely. We've got Mikayla Matthews, and we've got Layla Taylor.
Layla Taylor
Welcome, girls. We're so excited that you're here today.
Macy Neely
Thank you so much.
Layla Taylor
You guys are on just a whirlwind tour right now. How come it's only the three of you in la? Is it just.
Mikayla Matthews
All of you?
Macy Neely
Okay.
Mikayla Matthews
We're sent different places.
Macy Neely
Yeah. Everyone's being pressed in different groups.
Layla Taylor
Are you guys all in a good place right now?
Teddi Mellencamp
They're the three here.
Layla Taylor
That's why you're split up. This is very much like housewives.
Macy Neely
We've had to do interviews together with people that are not getting along.
iHeart Podcast
Yeah.
Macy Neely
Just not as many because those aren't as fun.
Mikayla Matthews
Didn't go so well.
Teddi Mellencamp
Who do you think's getting along the worst?
Macy Neely
Ooh, Jesse and Demi. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Jesse and Demi.
Macy Neely
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Which is kind of shocking. That is shocking. Jesse's kind of the narrator, right? In my opinion, you guys are. Or she's the podster. You're the narrator.
Macy Neely
Who would love that?
Mikayla Matthews
I usually get called the narrator of the show. My clips and the interviews. Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah. So you make sure that. You make sure that we know what's going on.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
And then I feel like Jesse's in there and she isn't afraid.
Macy Neely
No, Messy Jesse is. What?
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh, so you're still close with Jesse?
Macy Neely
Yes, we're all still close to Jessie.
Teddi Mellencamp
I have to give Jesse a shout out because during season one, my daughter's best friend, she's 12, said, Jesse's amazing. I texted that to Jesse and she sent a video. So thank you, Jesse.
Macy Neely
Oh, that's sweet.
Teddi Mellencamp
Because now we're gonna dig into you and the drama.
Layla Taylor
You guys have had, like, incredible success. Like, thank you. When I remember Teddi and Emily were recapping your show last year, and. And Teddy's like, you have to watch it. You have to watch it. I go, I don't have Hulu. And I didn't. And I didn't watch it. And then suddenly I turned it on and I'm like, holy shit, Teddy, why didn't you tell me? I told you.
Teddi Mellencamp
No one ever listens to me. So Two of y' all are pregnant?
Mikayla Matthews
Yes.
Macy Neely
Well, there's three in the group, but two of us here. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
How do we feel with Whitney back? Cause I said I was a little bit excited, but you don't look that excited. Macy, your face.
Macy Neely
Anyone's excited, to be honest.
Mikayla Matthews
I mean, I think if anyone has the most beef with her, it's Michaela.
Teddi Mellencamp
But you never liked her. I don't think you did it.
Macy Neely
We were actually really good friends. Me, Macy, and Whitney were good friends for a couple years.
Mikayla Matthews
A trio, actually.
Macy Neely
A trio, but, you know, those numbers, if you will.
Layla Taylor
Don't say that.
Macy Neely
Yeah, I mean, we always saw, like, little characteristics that we were like.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, like, this is whatever.
Macy Neely
But also, we were friends at that point. And then I think the show was kind of the fallout of it, because I think there was a lot of different sides to her that were emphasized, and she was, like, really feeding into a lot of, like, the bad characters came out. No, I think now she's finally being completely honest, and I think that's, like, the true character.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay, we haven't seen that part yet.
Macy Neely
Yeah. I mean, a lot of season one is exactly how she was to me, season two. But again, we don't know how everything is, and to this day till after season two.
Teddi Mellencamp
So what do you think her issue is with you personally? Do you think it's because you just kind of say it like it is, and you're not. I feel like you're a little bit like me in the way that you're not gonna let things go?
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. She definitely isn't letting go with her for sure.
Macy Neely
I've had other friends that I don't hold grudges with, but also, I don't. I'm not forced to see them every single day.
Teddi Mellencamp
Right.
Macy Neely
Yeah, that's hard.
Layla Taylor
Are you excited that Miranda's in the mix?
Mikayla Matthews
We were in the beginning. I would say now we were in the beginning, that's for sure.
Teddi Mellencamp
Really excited.
Layla Taylor
Yeah, I was excited, too.
Macy Neely
I think, as a viewer, I personally.
iHeart Podcast
Like, I would bump into her sometimes when I go, like, out in Salt Lake and stuff like that. And me and her always had, like, good interaction. So when I found out that she was coming on to season two, I was excited. I do think that she definitely had some conversations that needed to be had and kind of owned her side.
Teddi Mellencamp
But at the beginning, she doesn't feel like she's owning it. And what base do you think she did in the Swinging?
Macy Neely
I think it's hard because we heard a lot from Taylor in the Last two years of what the truth of the Swinging scandal was. And so when Miranda came in, Miranda was coming in, like, for the last two years, saying, I wasn't a part of this. What's soft swinging? And so that's all the context we had. And then coming into it. Exactly. Just saying that was the.
Layla Taylor
The extent to it.
Macy Neely
But we're like, we know a lot.
Teddi Mellencamp
More together as couples is considered soft swinging.
Layla Taylor
I believe Taylor. You believe Taylor?
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. So I think it was hard for us with her coming in because we're like, you haven't talked to any of us in the last three years. Like, and now you want to come in because our show's successful, so you want to get that bag. So I feel like that was hard for us because it's like, we built this. Built this in a way. Like, we, me and Michaela were on the pilot in 2022. So I'm like, this isn't just like an overnight thing. Like, it's been happening.
Layla Taylor
You guys been working on it.
Mikayla Matthews
Now you want in because it's successful. So I feel like for us, it was kind of like an ego thing.
Layla Taylor
Like, well, how did she get it?
Mikayla Matthews
Okay. Because she was part of the original swinging scandal and mom's daughter.
Layla Taylor
Was it producers that brought her in? Was it Whitney that brought her in?
Macy Neely
100% producers, yeah.
iHeart Podcast
She says where she was at with her ex at that point, she was still with him. And just, like, it wouldn't have been good for her marriage at that point to, like, show a divorce on national tv. So she felt like at her place she was at now, it was better for her.
Layla Taylor
She was all in.
Teddi Mellencamp
Well, I knew why she wouldn't want to do it. Once I saw Chase and the way he acted, I was like, well, I wouldn't want to do that either and promote that marriage. That would have been a rough go.
Macy Neely
No, 100%.
Mikayla Matthews
I also feel like no one really knew how successful the show would be, so I feel like people were hesitant to be a part of it because, like, what if it was a joke and now laugh at us? And a lot of people did in the beginning until I saw how successful it was. Now they want a piece of it.
Teddi Mellencamp
And I was like, okay, Shit to somebody.
Layla Taylor
You did?
iHeart Podcast
I did.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was like, I'm obsessed with these mom talkers. I messaged you, like, years and years ago when it first started happening, I remember, and I was like, I'm obsessed. This needs to be a show.
Layla Taylor
Did you guys ever have a podcast?
Mikayla Matthews
No.
Layla Taylor
Or is it Just completely. Cause I don't know why I thought.
Mikayla Matthews
It started out as a podcast.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, it's just the talk.
Layla Taylor
Well, you need a podcast.
Teddi Mellencamp
Can we be on it even though we can't dance? Who's the worst dancer in the group?
Macy Neely
None of us can really.
iHeart Podcast
Jessie.
Teddi Mellencamp
Jesse.
Mikayla Matthews
Messy Jessie.
Teddi Mellencamp
Messy Jessie.
iHeart Podcast
I feel tired of shoulder roll. It's.
Teddi Mellencamp
It's. Show us the shoulder roll. A body.
iHeart Podcast
A body roll. But she only moves her shoulder and.
Teddi Mellencamp
I'm in a full sweat just thinking about doing a body roll.
Layla Taylor
I want to see you do a body roll.
Teddi Mellencamp
You know, remember when we tried to do you guys, I think did the trend where you lifted each other up like with one foot. Remember when like the Dancing with the.
Macy Neely
Stars thing, I tried doing that with my husband.
Teddi Mellencamp
We couldn't do it.
Macy Neely
But did you know that's hard. I couldn't do hurt my ankle. I have really weak joints, so it felt like my ankle was going to snap in half.
Layla Taylor
As the temps start rising, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm not wasting money on pieces I'll only wear once or for just one season. Quint's changes that their clothes are timeless, lightweight, and far more elevated than anything else. At this price, it finally feels like my wardrobe matches my standards. Like 100% European linen shorts and dresses from $30 Luxe Swimwear, Italian leather platform sandals, and so much more. The best part, everything with Quints is half the cost of similar brands.

Teddi Mellencamp
Can we talk a little bit about your story that you've shared this season? I think it' huge that you're gonna change so many people's lives by sharing both things that you have shared and how it accumulates through stress. And I think so many people can relate in certain ways. Anything you want to share with our listeners?
Macy Neely
Thank you. Yes, that's. That's what I've learned the most, is how much your inner body affects your physical. The outside. And so I think once I started working on that was the most change I've seen on the outside with all my rashes and skin stuff. And I think what people don't know, like, back then, season one, when I was filming, and it was at the lowest, it wasn't just like, oh, I was covered in these rashes. It was also like, all internal stuff, like, all infections. My joints were affected.
Layla Taylor
Like, was that autoimmune?
Macy Neely
It wasn't. I got tested for all autoimmune. I didn't know what. I still don't know what it was. Stress? Yeah. It's probably, well, trauma. Sore trauma. I also did, like, gut testing, so I had, like, so many different bad bacterias and infections. I was doing, like, all the parasite cleanses and enemas and everything to just, like, clear every. I started from the outside or from the inside, working on, like, the trauma and whatever was going on, all the mucus and infections, and it really just helped the outside because I was focusing so much on the outside.
Teddi Mellencamp
And then once I started looking inward.
Macy Neely
I was like, oh, this is the problem. It's inside of me.
Teddi Mellencamp
I do the same thing.
Macy Neely
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
And then can we talk a little bit about the Vanderpump Villa of it all? Who all went on that trip? All of y' all.
Macy Neely
Just Jen, me, Layla. Jen, Jesse. Jesse, to me.
iHeart Podcast
To me.
Teddi Mellencamp
Who drinks, Layla? You do.
iHeart Podcast
I do.
Teddi Mellencamp
But are you completely clear on what happened?
Layla Taylor
Jesse drink as well?
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. Jesse drinks.
Layla Taylor
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast
For me, personally, I was a little occupied, not gonna lie. I was having the time of my life.
Teddi Mellencamp
So you broken up with the boyfriend or did he come?
iHeart Podcast
No, he was not there at that point. Me and him actually weren't together when I went to the villa. I was single.
Layla Taylor
Now, does this play on your show, or is this playing on Vanderpool?
Macy Neely
It's gonna.
iHeart Podcast
There's a crossover.
Teddi Mellencamp
So can we talk about the trip a bit?
Macy Neely
Yes.
iHeart Podcast
Yeah, absolutely.
Teddi Mellencamp
Go for it. Tell us a little.
Layla Taylor
Tell us what you can tell us.
Macy Neely
Lea had a blast.
iHeart Podcast
I. Yeah, like I said, I had a lot of fun. I got to know some of the staff members that were there, so honestly, like, I didn't see a lot with my eyes, personally. So it's really hard to speak on something that I don't have, like, definite proof on. But from what I did see and did encounter, there's definitely a lot of flirting happening between Demi Marciano, things that's.
Teddi Mellencamp
Kind of different than what you said before.
iHeart Podcast
What?
Mikayla Matthews
What?
iHeart Podcast
What did I say before?
Teddi Mellencamp
You said before that you thought 100% there was nothing that went on between the two of them. But flirting is something.
Macy Neely
Well, nothing outside of. There's a lot of layers. It's hard, though, because then I'm like, what part are you talking about? Because I think that's what's nerd is like, we saw everything surface level, and it was. That flirting was definitely reciprocated. Like, we saw that. I had a conversation saying, hey, yeah, like, this is uncomfortable, and it's probably not going to come out the best, especially because they all thought we were swingers. Like Lisa said, it's a group of swingers coming in. And so I was like, just for your image, I don't think this is going to look the best. But then things obviously unraveled on our show that we didn't know that was happening behind the scenes.
Teddi Mellencamp
Would you be more stressed about the allegations of what's gone on or if you stood up at Vanderpump Villa and your dress was tucked into your butt like it was for.
Macy Neely
Oh, my God, Jenny killed me. I want.
Teddi Mellencamp
I rewind.
Layla Taylor
Has your dress ever been tucked in your butt?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yes, but that's where it's like, I've seen camel toys. Listen, I probably have it right now.
Mikayla Matthews
But, like, let's be clear.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was like, pull it out. Stand up and do this.
Macy Neely
Silk is hard because it gets stick to my butt before, for sure. It was probably the static. Just like. I mean, I don't know. She probably wasn't, like, going like this on the seat, but I've had that happen with my satin dresses. I have a flat butt.
Teddi Mellencamp
Did you guys like Marciano?
Macy Neely
No.
Mikayla Matthews
No.
Layla Taylor
So I can't speak on this. I haven't watched that show before, so.
Teddi Mellencamp
I don't know who he is, but that's for me.
iHeart Podcast
I heard things about him before he went.
Teddi Mellencamp
You don't need to know. He's the Jack Savannah.
Layla Taylor
Oh, he's douche.
Macy Neely
He's great.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast
Rotisserie chicken.
Macy Neely
That's accurate.
Teddi Mellencamp
Rotisserie.
iHeart Podcast
A greasy, greasy rotisserie chicken. Oh, he has lip filler, by the way.
Layla Taylor
I'm sorry.
Teddi Mellencamp
I think lip fillers, facelifts, all those things for men is a hard no for me.
Mikayla Matthews
Not the same.
Layla Taylor
It doesn't hit the same.
Macy Neely
Also, men just, like, kind of age more gracefully.
Teddi Mellencamp
That's unswingable for me.
Macy Neely
Yeah. No, he was gross.
Teddi Mellencamp
Can we talk about why Demi and Jesse are fighting? Because they seem like besties. I heard there's a cheating allegation.
Mikayla Matthews
Oh, my. Our lips are sealed.
Teddi Mellencamp
Wow. You're going to have to stay tuned.
Macy Neely
Yeah, I'm like, which cheating allegation?
Layla Taylor
There's always something going on. How has your life's changed since the show has been out? Oh, what is the hardest part?
Macy Neely
Busier.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. The time commitment. Because we're all moms, and I feel like right now I feel like I see my kids, like, five hours a week lately. Like, we are so busy. So I think that mom guilt sets in, and it's like, oh, my gosh. Like, I know it, like, actually depresses me. Like, I can't think about it.
Teddi Mellencamp
Nick Bile.
Macy Neely
I was like, nick, I've literally seen you more than my husband this week.
iHeart Podcast
No, like, literally the worst part is I press and I feel like when we come home from filming, I feel like we were so overstimulated at work that, like, I feel like I can't necessarily, like, give anything to my boys. I just kind of like, let's put on show. And then it, like, eats me away more because I'm like, I can't take them to the park. I can't, like, be present. And it's. It's.
Mikayla Matthews
It's hard to balance. I think we're all trying to figure out how to balance this, like, new life and, like, the amount of filming that we do.
Layla Taylor
So you guys are super busy. Like, so for, like, Housewives, we film for three or four months, then we have a little bit of time off, and then it airs, and then, you know, you have to do press and a little bit of time off. But when you're back to back.
Mikayla Matthews
We're back to back right now.
iHeart Podcast
Almost trained for a break soon, hopefully.
Teddi Mellencamp
And do you guys glam yourself or you get glam? Because that takes up a lot.
Mikayla Matthews
But for press, we get glam crisp. Yeah.
Layla Taylor
Every day.
iHeart Podcast
And we're normal. Makeup or some of us don't even wear makeup.
Layla Taylor
Yeah, it's because you guys are young. You don't have to. How has the church treated you guys after the show aired?
Mikayla Matthews
Like, this is my question, because I'm the active member. What do you mean?
Teddi Mellencamp
Can you explain a little bit to our listeners, the active members and then. And still being considered LDS but not being an active member.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. So I would say, like, active members, like, you go to church, you follow most of the guidelines. It doesn't mean you follow them to, like, a T, because no one's perfect. And then non active is like, maybe you still have your records in the church, but you just, like, don't participate in the church. When you're part of the church, you have, like, a record that says, like, you are part of this church.
Layla Taylor
Did you not learn anything from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Whitney trying to.
Teddi Mellencamp
I still. I didn't record. No.
iHeart Podcast
I had.
Teddi Mellencamp
I saw her healing journey, but I didn't fully understand. No. That I caught that.
Disney Promo Voice
Feed her.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, her healing journey.
Mikayla Matthews
I get it.
Layla Taylor
It's a Utah thing.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. It's like a Utah accent.
Macy Neely
We just talked about that with Taylor because Taylor does that too.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. So. But, like, a lot of people won't pull their records because it's a hassle. It's like, I feel like most people don't really care.
Macy Neely
I don't do it.
Mikayla Matthews
Doesn't really make a difference, to be honest.
Macy Neely
It kind of make a difference, though, because then they show up at your house still.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
Layla Taylor
Whitney talked about it.
Macy Neely
Uncomfortable.
Teddi Mellencamp
I know, but we gotta dig into it here. I know, Whitney, but I need to understand. They show up at your house.
iHeart Podcast
Well, some of the people, like, really society, too. Especially at my last house, I have. They haven't found out where I live most recently, but at my last house, they, like, knocking me door and just like, hey, like, we're Just checking in, want to make sure you're okay. And then normally I'm just, I'm nice. I'm never like, like I'm not really interested, but thank you.
Layla Taylor
So their point is to try to reel you back in?
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, yeah, it's like, well it's very community driven. Like the church is very much about community. So for example, like when I have this baby, I'm gonna have people bringing me meals for like two weeks straight. Like if that's how the church is, like yeah, it can be invasive sometimes where it's like, yeah, like leave me alone, I don't really want you here. But it's also like very community based where they want to help and like if you need anything, let me know. If you need your kids watched last minute, we'll do it. Like stuff like that where it's like, it's kind of like your village. And I feel like when people are out of the church, obviously they're like yeah, leave me alone. But I think it's cuz they always still like come cuz like well if they need help or we can be an assistance and maybe they'll come back to church.

Like it's not a bad thing for sure.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, it's not like a bad thing.
Macy Neely
Saying I should join the church after I have this baby.
Mikayla Matthews
I think you should just first, just.
Teddi Mellencamp
For the first two weeks.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, a couple meals, you know, it's very like family community based and like centered around Jesus.
iHeart Podcast
Converted when I, because I wasn't a member growing up. I converted when I was 16 and that's primarily why I converted is because of the community and the sense of family. That's something that I like longed for my whole life.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
iHeart Podcast
So when I was 16 and I like wanted that, I was like, oh well if I'm a member I could get that. So there's a lot of good for the church for sure.
Teddi Mellencamp
Are we ever gonna see your ex husband?
iHeart Podcast
No, he's totally. He hates the show actually. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
So what is your relationship? Because we don't get to see any of it.
iHeart Podcast
Honestly it's pretty good on my end towards him. Like I, I'll always look at him like lovingly because I did love him so much and he's the father of my children on his end. It's definitely a little hostile towards me, but I think it kind of just jealousy, I think. Jealousy.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is he with somebody else now?
iHeart Podcast
He actually just recently told me he has a girlfriend.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah, you guys, you guys get it done quickly for you.
iHeart Podcast
So happy for him generally, I only want the best for him. I'm going to have him in my life for the rest of my life. So I don't want to have hostile energy towards each other. I want to be able to be in the same room as him and not have like glares. So yeah, I just pray and hope that eventually with time he can get to that point. Because I'm from a divorced family as well. So like, I know how toxic it is to have your parents not be able to like coexist and how bad it affected me growing up. So I always just plead with him to like, hey, like stop, stop, stop, stop. But until he's willing to like kind of until he bury the hatchet, there's nothing I can do. So.
Macy Neely
Yeah.
Layla Taylor
Well, I just learned that Macy is from my town.
Mikayla Matthews
Yes.
Layla Taylor
You grew up in Coto.
Mikayla Matthews
Yes, behind the gates.
Layla Taylor
Behind me. And your mom still lives in Kodo. So what I want to do is try to get around Orange county housewives.
Mikayla Matthews
I think we should like. So my whole family lives within a five minute radius in Coto. I'm the black sheep. So I'm the only one not in Coto. I'm in Utah, like a whole state away. So it's kind of funny. Everyone's still there.
Layla Taylor
Did your mom know any of the. Because that's where Orange county started was in California.
Teddi Mellencamp
She's going to know you soon, Tamara.
Mikayla Matthews
Yes, I know. My mom actually like knows you and like all the ogs. Cuz like Gina Keo. I think my sisters like hung out with some of like the kids sons like the kids like they all went to Chisoro and stuff like that. Yeah. And so. Yeah. And they're like definitely familiar.
Teddi Mellencamp
Would be so good.
Mikayla Matthews
My mom would be good, you guys.
Macy Neely
She's like the ultimate tennis mom.
Mikayla Matthews
She's a crazy tennis lady. So now she does like tennis with her grandkids.
Layla Taylor
I have friends on those.
Teddi Mellencamp
Great.
Macy Neely
I can't wait to know about that.
Mikayla Matthews
And she's a jeweler, so she's like I loves like diamonds and I feel like she's very bougie.
Teddi Mellencamp
What do we have to do to get some?
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, I know.
Macy Neely
I Cheer up you guys. Perfect.
Layla Taylor
Let's.
Teddi Mellencamp
Can we talk a little bit about Dakota when you asked. I know he's a hard one for me.
Mikayla Matthews
He's a very hard one for me too.
Layla Taylor
I think he's a hard one for everybody.
Macy Neely
Anyone that has eyes and a brain.
Teddi Mellencamp
I think when you asked Taylor about him, was it more to help Taylor or more because you couldn't stand Dakota. And I'm not judging either way because I would do both.
Mikayla Matthews
Oh, no. To help Taylor, I would say. I think I always say this, but it wasn't aired in the pilot or in season one. But there was a barbecue that was had, and I was actually. Everyone was going, not him. I was actually on his side in the beginning. When I first met him, I was like, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Like, we don't know him. Like. And so I feel like I was very open to it. Like, we went on a double date a couple times, and then, like, over time, obviously, I just saw so many red flags and so many things that I was like, this is, like, not okay. And I think it. He just triggers me a lot because he reminds me a lot of my abusive ex boyfriend, and there's so many similarities between him and my ex that I'm like, oh, my gosh, this is a disaster. Like, you need to get out because it's like, it's never gonna change.
Teddi Mellencamp
Did you guys all go to Stagecoach?
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
And is it true that they kind of got back together as Stagecoach?
Mikayla Matthews
I want to say, like, back together. Just like, they look like they're back together. You know what I mean? But they're. Yeah.
Layla Taylor
But do you feel like he's never gonna give up because of the show and he was never gonna give up.
Macy Neely
Because she's kind of stringing him along, confusing him with.
Teddi Mellencamp
And how's he gonna make money otherwise? Right.
Mikayla Matthews
Exactly.
iHeart Podcast
It's tiring business. I don't think it would.
Mikayla Matthews
I've always told him, like, he just rides off your coattails, Taylor. Sorry.
Teddi Mellencamp
And okay, so let's do a little pick. So if you had to pick between Chase, Zach, Zack, or.
Layla Taylor
Thank God he cut that hair.
Teddi Mellencamp
If you had to pick between Chase.
Mikayla Matthews
Dakota, and Zach, that's like a really hard.
Teddi Mellencamp
You have to pick one to marry and one to shag.
iHeart Podcast
Oh, I already shag Chase, so.
Macy Neely
Yeah, I forgot. How was it your heart, Layla?
iHeart Podcast
Pretty mid. Didn't make me orgasm. I didn't feel anything, if you know what I'm saying.

iHeart Podcast
Sorry.
Mikayla Matthews
Oh, I was hoping we can avoid that.
Teddi Mellencamp
I didn't forget.
Mikayla Matthews
I mean, you didn't say he would marry.
Macy Neely
Oh, I can't do it. Dakota. I think I can't.
Mikayla Matthews
I don't know.
Macy Neely
Mary, Dakota.
Disney Promo Voice
You guys.
Mikayla Matthews
I don't know if I know.
iHeart Podcast
I feel like he maybe has potential.
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Layla Taylor
Well, at least he's cute.
iHeart Podcast
Dakota's handsome.
Layla Taylor
Yeah, he's a handsome guy.
iHeart Podcast
Kiss on the forehead. He's too, like, short.
Teddi Mellencamp
He is short. You can't tell on the show.
iHeart Podcast
He's tiny. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
Me.
Mikayla Matthews
The.
Macy Neely
I can't. You're going to get a contract.
Mikayla Matthews
I really don't know.
iHeart Podcast
You have to answer.
Teddi Mellencamp
Okay.
Mikayla Matthews
Just.
Teddi Mellencamp
Fine. Say your favorite of the three.
Macy Neely
Let's do that. Yeah. My favorite of the three. Chase is off. He's far off. No, not even close.
Mikayla Matthews
Would you say it's really hard?
Macy Neely
I'm going to say.
Teddi Mellencamp
And it could be Zach.
Macy Neely
I just. After he completed med school.
Teddi Mellencamp
Med school?
Macy Neely
Yes, but it's hard because I've also heard things about Zach currently that I'm.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, that's what's hard. I think I'd rather discuss that than do any of the three.
Macy Neely
But we're gonna show what they want to show on camera, obviously.
Layla Taylor
Plead the fifth.
Macy Neely
I am gonna say the thing is.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Mikayla Matthews
Like, I think we'll be here all day.
Teddi Mellencamp
Anyway.
Layla Taylor
She's like, it's a no, don't have a fun.
Macy Neely
Like, he is nice to be around.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
Macy Neely
Like, he has a. He's funny. He has a nice personality.
Teddi Mellencamp
Allegedly. Potentially could be a narcissist.
Mikayla Matthews
Oh, a thousand percent.
Macy Neely
Not even allegedly. I think 100%, but I think. I think he has a nice personality.
Mikayla Matthews
That's what I will say as much.
Teddi Mellencamp
As a nice, alleged narcissistic personality.
Mikayla Matthews
This is what I will say over and over, though.
iHeart Podcast
Okay.
Teddi Mellencamp
Thank you.
Mikayla Matthews
He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. So on the surface, I guarantee if you met him, you'd be like, oh, my gosh, I love him. I say, nice friend, bad boy.
Layla Taylor
So you're the truth teller.
Mikayla Matthews
Yes. I'm telling you, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. So I would say on the surface, yes. Personality wise, out of the three, he has the best personality humor. On the surface, yes. Behind the scenes, different story.
Macy Neely
Whereas tiktoks are. Ick.
Teddi Mellencamp
Oh.
Mikayla Matthews
Very cringe.
Macy Neely
I don't know how I feel about.
Teddi Mellencamp
All of the husbands doing the TikTok. I don't mind it when he does, when they do them together, but the dad talks.
Macy Neely
There's some cribs for sure.
Disney Promo Voice
It's.
Macy Neely
It's hard.
Teddi Mellencamp
No, it also cringe seeing some of the husbands doing a strip tease. Oh.
Mikayla Matthews
On the show, I was like, what is that? Yeah.
iHeart Podcast
It wasn't my favorite thing in the.
Mikayla Matthews
World, to be honest. Yeah. No. I'm so glad my husband was not a part of that. I was like.
Teddi Mellencamp
Was he asked?
Mikayla Matthews
I don't think so, actually. I think they knew he wouldn't do it.
Macy Neely
Is them being oiled up, running down from the bedroom and doing push ups.
Mikayla Matthews
To fight over the touch. Yeah. Yes.
Teddi Mellencamp
I rewinded it four times to see the touch. Oh.
Mikayla Matthews
Jimmy called it a shot.
Macy Neely
Keyword, touch. Cause I saw it for his hand.
Teddi Mellencamp
But I don't even think the skin touched.
Macy Neely
Well, that's the thing. I guess we're all gonna see everything's caught on camera. Truthfully, honestly, was skin to skin.
Teddi Mellencamp
I was like, pausing. I'm not. I don't have the best eyesight, but I was like, she, like, gets close to the tv.
iHeart Podcast
She's like, this far away.
Mikayla Matthews
I'm screaming. Cause yesterday she did call it a shovel.
Teddi Mellencamp
He was fibing when he. I was like, where's your husband? Like, what's up?
Macy Neely
Oh, yeah, that was true.
Teddi Mellencamp
That part. Where's your husband? Like, he's a cheater.
iHeart Podcast
No one's excusing what he said.
Mikayla Matthews
He was. No.
iHeart Podcast
We all think he's definitely being annoying there, But I feel like accusing someone of, like, shoving you is, like, a bold accusation. Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
On camera.
Macy Neely
Which the question is not. Is it okay. Because obviously Chase is an ass, and.
Mikayla Matthews
They don't touch women.
Macy Neely
Don't touch me. But that's the question. Was. Was it a shove? Was it.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
Macy Neely
Deeper allegation. And, I mean, we saw it on camera.
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Layla Taylor
Do you guys have any regrets from season one?
iHeart Podcast
Not speaking my mind in situations.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. I feel like I definitely played it safe in a lot of situations, for sure. Because I was like, I don't know what to expect from this. I don't. I don't know how that's considered plain and safe. I think we just got more comfortable. So I just say, like, yeah, like, maybe speaking up a little bit more in certain situations.
iHeart Podcast
Totally.
Mikayla Matthews
For sure.
Teddi Mellencamp
Is there anything you want to tease for season two for our listeners to make sure that they tune in?
iHeart Podcast
If you thought season one was good, season two, you're in for it.
Mikayla Matthews
Really? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. You guys. It's multiple.
Teddi Mellencamp
Do you guys have any big drama?
Mikayla Matthews
Us?
Teddi Mellencamp
Yeah.
Macy Neely
The three of you not really together?
Teddi Mellencamp
No.
Mikayla Matthews
I mean, me and Michaela did yell at Layla earlier this year.
Macy Neely
Me and Layla had a little.
iHeart Podcast
She said something very scary that I will never repeat.
Mikayla Matthews
Oh, I told her what it was.
Layla Taylor
Until you get her mad. Yeah.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
She might say it again behind her back or.
Mikayla Matthews
You said, I was on a hot mic and didn't really. Oh, yeah, I did. Yeah. I was trying to leave.
Teddi Mellencamp
Wait, Mike, where?
Mikayla Matthews
Well, I was trying to leave the building because she pissed me off. And the elevator, like, they, like, broke it, so I kept pushing the button. They wouldn't let me down, so I kept getting more pissed. And in reality, like, wasn't really about you at that point.
Layla Taylor
She was just happy with this point.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah. This was two months ago.
Layla Taylor
Piss you off. But really quick, let me ask you the Zach line about being Ben Affleck's cousin.
Mikayla Matthews
I think it was this again, you guys.
iHeart Podcast
Very odd.
Mikayla Matthews
It's very strange.
Macy Neely
Like, what does this show. On the show, I'm, like, so confused, and who cares?
Layla Taylor
Did you not think that it was.
Teddi Mellencamp
Gonna come out, but also Jen wanting it to be true so bad. I don't get that either.
iHeart Podcast
Oh, I think something in her head.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, she said she still still doesn't know if it's her cut the cousin or not or something.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, I.
Layla Taylor
You know, Ted was with. What's his name? Ben Affleck's friend.
iHeart Podcast
Oh, my.
Layla Taylor
Matt Damon. She slept with Matt Damon.
Teddi Mellencamp
This was a bit jillion years ago. I'm gonna get on the horn with Ben Affleck because of the alleged Matt Damon make out 27 years ago.
Mikayla Matthews
I love that tea.
Macy Neely
No, I think we need an inside scoop because I feel like for Jen, the genealogy of it isn't, like, facts enough for her because apparently Zach's grandpa said it was facts and so.
Teddi Mellencamp
But didn't they take. Wasn't there a test? Like, didn't the sleuth take it, do the testing and say no, that it wasn't true?
Macy Neely
I think we just have to do it because I'm on it. I'm getting really tired.
Teddi Mellencamp
Why haven't you done that on the show yet?
Mikayla Matthews
It.
Macy Neely
I think someone wanted to do.
Mikayla Matthews
Jesse and Demi were going to do it, and then she got really offended that they were trying to.
iHeart Podcast
I think the reason why Jen even did it is because I feel like in this environment where there's a lot of women, I feel like some people feel the need to, like, stand out. And maybe that was something that would get headlines attention which would make her again stand out. I feel like it's kind of just.
Layla Taylor
Like he's gonna say something.
Teddi Mellencamp
I mean, it's not a blood relative.
iHeart Podcast
So what's the bragging curve related to any Taylor in the world?
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah, it's just odd, but it's a little strange.
Macy Neely
Someone, we need to find Ben's number.
Teddi Mellencamp
Can you spill one little bit of tea before you guys go?
Macy Neely
Ooh.
Mikayla Matthews
So much.
iHeart Podcast
The season ends with a really big bang.
Mikayla Matthews
A cliffhanger.
iHeart Podcast
Very big cliffhanger.
Layla Taylor
Like literally a bang.
Macy Neely
It doesn't turn out how you think it's going to.
Layla Taylor
Literally a bang.
iHeart Podcast
Literally a bang.
Mikayla Matthews
Well, let's just say the ending of season two will leave you a lot more shock than even season one.
Layla Taylor
Season one ending was pretty shocking.
Mikayla Matthews
And I'm telling you, season two is. Compared to season one is night and day.
Layla Taylor
Yeah.
Mikayla Matthews
Yeah.
Teddi Mellencamp
The end already is.
Mikayla Matthews
Guys, we're still in shock.
Macy Neely
I was there to this day.
Mikayla Matthews
Like, living in it is shocking still. What's going on behind the scenes right now?

Release Date: May 15, 2025
Hosts: Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge
Guests: Macy Neely, Mikayla Matthews, and Layla Taylor
Platform: iHeartPodcasts
The episode kicks off at [02:38] with hosts Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge welcoming their guests from the hit series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, namely Macy Neely, Mikayla Matthews, and Layla Taylor. The hosts draw parallels between their show and the Housewives franchise, emphasizing the unique insights their guests bring to the table.
Teddi Mellencamp:
"Hi, guys. Welcome to the twat seat with myself, Teddi Mellencamp, and Tamara. Today we have on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Macy Neely, Mikayla Matthews, and Layla Taylor."
[02:45]
Early in the conversation, the group touches upon the dynamics of their friendships, especially under the public eye of reality TV. They discuss the challenges of maintaining camaraderie while dealing with internal conflicts and external pressures.
Mikayla Matthews:
"We're sent to different places. Everyone's being pressed into different groups."
[03:09]
Macy Neely:
"We've had to do interviews together with people that are not getting along."
[03:13]
The hosts probe into which relationships might be the most strained, highlighting Jesse and Demi as particularly contentious.
Teddi Mellencamp:
"Who do you think's getting along the worst?"
[03:30]
Macy Neely:
"Ooh, Jesse and Demi. Yeah."
[03:35]
The discussion delves deeper into the specific tensions between cast members, notably Jesse and Demi. Macy reveals that despite public tensions, she remains close with Jesse, sharing a heartfelt anecdote.
Macy Neely:
"I'm still close to Jesse. During season one, my daughter's best friend said, 'Jesse's amazing.' I texted that to Jesse, and she sent a video. So thank you, Jesse."
[04:11]
However, the hosts also explore the underlying issues that fuel conflicts, such as differing personalities and communication styles.
Teddi Mellencamp:
"Do you think it's because you just kind of say it like it is, and you're not gonna let things go?"
