Episode notes

This week, Travis and Emma unpack their feelings about the Diddy verdict, Anna Wintour's exit from Vogue, and why Love Island contestants need to learn basic human communication. The besties have complaints and grievances (as always). Plus, Emma's onion-sized baby is developing ears (and fat!) and Travis relives the trauma from his pool encounter with the world's most annoying stranger before we get into MomTok on Reality Roundup.

Highlights

  • Emma’s 17 weeks into her pregnancy and Baby August is the size of an onion! He’s also starting to hear Travis’s filthy mouth, among other voices.
  • Travis is a little fired up over the verdicts in the Diddy trial.
  • 2025 will be Anna Wintour’s last September Issue at Vogue, which feels like it’s marking the end of an era.
  • We look back on the wonderful memory from Gigi Hadid’s birthday party where her mom allowed her to indulge in the tiniest piece of her own birthday cake.
  • DJ Meredith Marks is absolutely bestie approved and continues to prove that she is endlessly talented as she headlines Prides across the country.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: “The Book of Divisions” (season 2, episode 5)

In this week’s Reality Roundup, we open up the truth box with MomTok as we unpack the bunnies at Whitney’s baby shower, Mikayla’s never-ending hatred for Whitney, and Jen’s complicated relationship with the truth. Jessi continues to be a perfect, beautiful angel while demon monster Demi lays the groundwork for a hostile takeover attempt. Will MomTok survive?
