Ask, Tell, Confess: This Is Why I Hate Red Carpets
18:24 Share

You know what doesn't belong in your epic summer plans? Getting burned by your old wireless bill. While you're planning beach trips, barbecues, and three-day weekends, your wireless bill should be the last thing holding you back. That's why I made the switch to Mint Mobile. With plans starting at 15 bucks a month, Mint Mobile gives you premium wireless service on the nation's largest 5G network. The coverage and speed you're used to.

but way less money. So while your friends are sweating over data overages and surprise charges, you'll be chilling, literally and financially. Use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan and bring your phone number along with all of your existing contacts. Ditch overpriced wireless and get three months of premium wireless service from Mint Mobile for 15 bucks a month. Okay, let's be honest.

I stuck with my old phone company for way too long. The service was fine, but the bill? Ridiculous. Every month I was paying way more than I should have been for coverage that wasn't even that impressive. Then I switched to Mint Mobile and I'm honestly mad I didn't do it sooner. The service is just as good as what I had before. No drop calls, fast data and coverage everywhere I need it.

But here's the real kicker. I'm saving hundreds of dollars a year. Mint Mobile's plans start at $15 a month. I seriously cut my phone bill by over 50% and I didn't have to sacrifice anything.

Hello friends, welcome to Ask, Tell, Confess.

Hello friends. Every week. Surprised every time. Every time. I don't know what's going to happen. Listen, I just kind of, it's like roll, it's like roll that beautiful bean footage. I just let it go. Bean footage. Bean footage. You've never seen that fucking commercial? No. No.

What? Is our fucking TV working? I'm sure. Yeah, you can pull that up on YouTube. Roll that beautiful bean footage. Pull it up. Pull it up. Pull it up. Roll that beautiful bean footage. Yeah, it was beans. What is it? Baked beans. Something baked beans. Bush's baked beans, right? Bush's baked beans. And the golden retriever rolled that beautiful bean footage.

You remember the weirdest shit. I remember shit. You always have a jingle, her, a song. And people try to argue with me about being autistic. Bro, her entire personality is like a mosaic of just straight old cartoons. And jingles. Yeah, old cartoons and sounds. I'll be like, is that a real song? You'll be like, yep, that's coming up. Oh, there's some of them. I was like, there's no way that's a real song. And you're like, check it out. Yeah. Yeah.

I think it's my little party tricks. I keep it in my back pocket for whenever I need to lighten the lighten the mood, you know, one trigger word and she's, she's ready to go. Well, while you're looking for that, um, look, look, look. Oh, you got it. Click on the one with the fucking golden retriever. He's like by a fireplace. Yep. Here is makes pushes baked beans. Tastes so darn good.

Roll that beautiful bean. Hold on. Hold on. That's not the one. Some pancakes are specially cured bacon, are fine brown sugar, or are delicate. And they're delicious. They're good beans. But the real reason our baked beans taste so good is the Bush Secret Family recipe, which I've shared with only one other soul, and he's not talking. Roll that beautiful bean. What the fuck, bro? What is that record? I told you, the fucking Golden Reservoir. Do you remember? That's the most, like...

Minute. Specific. Autism. Yeah. Okay. And people, people listen, can we get a real doctor? Oh, they're already working on it to diagnose us because some people, so people are getting mad a little bit sometimes on YouTube. Everybody else on Tik TOK understands cause they're like same, but people on YouTube are like, you are not autistic. Stop saying you're autistic until you're diagnosed. Okay, cool. Get me a fucking doctor that will diagnose me. Have you guys done the chat? No,

No. I don't have chat. I did. I found out like that. I mean, it's kind of scary to like what it ends up telling you informational wise, because when you do the rads test, you know, you just get an answer at the end. No chat explains the traits about yourself and why masking the symptoms for so long, because women typically don't get diagnosed until they're in their twenties and their thirties with autism. While boys get diagnosed around the age of eight. Well,

We mask so well for so long that it's like, oh, well you do this because you've masked for so long your autism. These are the traits that you have because of it. What's the prompt that you would ask? Oh, I just, I started talking about like autism in it. And I was like, is there a way for you to like walk me through being able to diagnose? And it, you know, I'll come back and say, I can't diagnose, but we can go across these like questionnaire of, um,

trying to figure out if you have it or not and like whether you should seek a further diagnosis. And so I did that and I did my dyslexia testing again, bro, full blown dyslexic. Well, I want to get a real doctor here so that people can't tell us that we're not autistic anymore because I know for a fact something is up with me. Okay. Yours is definitely like stuff like that. Like the, like remembering the little thing. Yours is movie quotes. Hmm.

That and also food. Yeah. My food is... Mine is also materials. If something doesn't feel comfortable on my body, I won't wear it. If something digs into my sides, won't wear it. It has to be a certain... You know how Sheen has that fake cotton? Oh, I can't. It makes my fucking skin crawl.

I just told polyester. Is that, I don't know what it is, but it's the worst fucking when you buy something from a ad and it comes and it's like, yes. Oh, I can't wear it. It's like, it's like wearing an egg carton. Like it's just, Olivia can't touch cotton, like a cotton balls. Oh, she cannot touch a cotton ball. It's crazy. Strange. I know. And like me and her have sock socks.

like our socks have to be a very specific sock. And I was just telling Jaime this the other day, I found my socks at Walmart that like are, they make my heart so happy. I bought every single one on there. I emptied the whole rack into my cart and Olivia goes, are you buying them off? Send me the link. Yeah, I am.

I literally have two bags of clothes in my car right now as we speak that I'm going to go drop off with Tasha, all brand new with tags just because the fucking material feels weird. Wow.

B-U-N-N-I-E. As the temps start rising, I feel that familiar urge to refresh my closet. But I'm not wasting money on pieces I'll wear only once or for just one season. Quince 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. The best part, everything with Quince is half the cost of similar brands.

I have been obsessed

with quints for a while now. Their cashmere and silk are next level, but their gym line completely surprised me in the best way. The fabrics are buttery soft, breathable, and hold up like a dream during workouts and errands. This summer, I picked up their flow knit ultra soft performance shorts, lightweight terry hoodie, and ribbed tank set.

and let me tell you, they're quickly becoming my go-to essentials. The quality for the price is unreal. Everything feels like the luxe active brand wears I've splurged on before, but at a fraction of the cost and with ethical, sustainable manufacturing too. Style-wise, the cuts are flattering and the colors are chic.

and it's all transitions easily from gym to brunch to a beach walk. I'm planning to live in these pieces for early morning walks, travel days, and casual summer get togethers. If you've been on the fence about trying Quince's active line, consider this your sign. You won't regret it. Give your summer closet an upgrade with Quince.

I mean, I'm just kidding. The ACM Awards. Oh. I already knew that's what we were going to talk about. I know. ACMs are always interesting. Yeah.

Always a good, it'll probably be my last year going. Yeah, I get it. It's especially this last year was weird. It was really weird. Even the employees were like, what is happening? Yeah. Like anyone we talked to. Yeah. It was really strange. And the show, I just feel like, I don't know, like they did great with like having the guests and stuff like that. Like putting Blake and Miranda on the same fucking stage together practically is wild. Yeah. Um,

But I think they both handled it great. And I think that, you know, you can see so much growth in Miranda too. She looks so fucking good, dude. Oh my God. Like she looked, I'm like, I asked her, I'm like, what are you fucking doing? She's like, I'm doing the gua sha. And I was like, are you serious? She's like, girl, that's all I've been doing. And I'm like, I was like, you look so good. People in the audience were talking about how good you look, dude. Like you look phenomenal.

Yeah. But yeah, so we went to the ACM Awards. Daddy didn't win any, which is fine. You know, we don't expect him to win every single time. But I do expect people like Brothers Osborne. Brothers Osborne. Yes. What are some other? Dan and Shay. Uh-huh. You know, I feel like Old Dominion has won freaking nine years. Couldn't name one song. I know one. I know one, but I don't know the name of it because they dropped it literally, I think, like eight, nine years ago. Oh, wow.

I mean, it is...

I'm not, I guess, relevant in the things that those people are doing because I couldn't name one project. Right. Or anything. I mean, Chris Stapleton is a given. He's fucking amazing. He's a great musician. His wife's fucking hot as hell. She actually is more beautiful in real life than she is photographed. Yeah. No, she's gorgeous. She glides when she walks by. Literally. She has Stevie Nicks vibes. Yes. That's such a good way to put it because last year when she was wearing that cape, she

And she came by. I was just like, as she walked by, I was like, she literally looked like a goddess. Like medieval Roman times. I accidentally stepped on her cape last year. Did you? I did not mean to. Well, because we were sitting next to each other. And you guys know I'm already a nervous wreck, as it is, at these fucking award shows. I'm uncomfortable. I hate fucking being there. And she was sitting down talking to somebody near me, and I accidentally stepped on her cape. And she was like,

I was like, sorry. But she was really nice to you this year too. Yeah, yeah. This year we smiled at each other and walked by. But yeah, I mean, Chris Stapleton is a fucking, you know, musical wizard. But, you know, I just feel like let's keep it fresh. You know? Crisp. Crisp. Let's get some new fucking meat up in there. Lainey, of course. She deserves. Lainey sweeped this year. Congratulations to Lainey Wilson. She deserves it. And Ella. I'm so proud of Ella. How fucking hot is Ella Langley? Oh my God. It's like...

It's disgusting. Is it real? Are you real, Ella? It's disgusting. How are you that gorgeous? No, it's disgusting. I'm just like, God really has favorites. Clearly. And she's just so beautiful. But it's not just her looks. Her demeanor. It's her voice. Like, I love her voice and the way she carries herself because she's kind of like a tomboy. Yes, she is. But she's just like a really...

Oh, is she? Yeah. She's like a really hot fucking tomboy. Yeah. I feel like she's just not one of those like fairy ditzy little like characters. She's a smart bitch. She's so confidently like rounded. Stallion. Yeah. Stallion. What a good word. That's a great word to describe her. I love her. But yeah. So the ACM Awards came and went and I feel like they didn't get as much pop as they normally do. But I think it's because they're not...

It's the same thing. It's the same thing every year. And I think people are tired of seeing it. I will say the Miranda Reba and Lainey performance had me in full body chills. I got really emotional watching that. Like I did cry during the Alan Jackson one too. Oh my God. And we were sitting next to Alan Jackson and his wife. So he, Alan Jackson is on stage. Right. And he's talking about how somebody came up to him and told him that they're, they named their dog after him. And I was like, I turned to his wife and I was like, it's me.

I said, I named, I named, it wasn't me, but I just took that moment to say that. I said, I named my dog after him. And she's like, I can't wait to tell him. She was so sweet. So sweet. So sweet. Like, Oh my gosh. And apparently Alan Jackson's like super, super shy. Yeah.

I didn't know that. He's so adorable. He's very, very shy. He's trying to squish me. He's so sweet. His son performed too and that was the highlight of my night. Aw, who was his son? Zach Topp. Oh. Is that his son? No. Oh, okay. It's a conspiracy. Oh, gotcha. That it's his son. I was like, what the fuck? You haven't heard about that? No. Like he had a show. I'm not on Zach Topp TikTok like you guys are. We are. Zach, come on the podcast. Zach. Zach.

I saw you backstage. Didn't want to interrupt you, but I was forcing her to interrupt. Zach, next time you see my crew, will you please talk to them so they can wring their panties out? Because it's a lot. I had to put caution wet signage. She even plays Zach Topp for her cow. Oh, Pablo loves Zach Topp. Dolly is coming around to it. She's a bit of a bitch, but...

Pablo loves it. Pablo is so calm when he listens to him. I get same. I know you've got a gazillion photos sitting on your phone right now. I sure do. Don't leave them there.

Okay.

Okay, let's be real. I've had a love-hate relationship with push-up bras for years. Either they'd gap at the top, dig into my sides, or give that weird, stiff, unnatural lift that felt like armor instead of underwear. Half the time, I'd end up adjusting it all day or straight up taking it off the minute I got home. Then I tried the Skims Ultimate Push-Up Bra, and it changed everything. It's the only push-up I've worn that actually feels like it was made from my body. No weird gaps, no poking wires, and the lift, mwah,

chef's kiss. It's supportive. It's super smooth under clothes and gives that naturally fuller shape without looking overdone. It's honestly the first pushup that I forgot I'm wearing. The cups mold perfectly, the band doesn't roll or squeeze, and it still makes me feel confident and comfortable all day. Skims just gets it.

When I first got my hands on the Skims Ultimate Push-Up Bra, I was honestly skeptical. I've tried so many bras that promise comfort and a good lift, but they either feel too stiff, too bulky, or just didn't fit right. The moment I put this one on was game over. It was buttery, soft, hugged all the right places, and gave me the kind of lift that felt natural, not forced.

It made me feel snatched but effortless, if that makes sense. Confident, supported, and actually excited to wear a push-up bra again. It's one of those pieces you don't just wear for a look, you wear it because it makes you feel good. Skims really nailed it with this one. What I really love about the Skims Ultimate Teardrop Push-Up Bra is how versatile it is. It's not just one of those bras you wear for a night out and then shove it to the back of your drawer. The shape is so flattering under everything.

everything fitted tees, low cut tops, even those tricky dresses and the straps fully adjustable and actually stay put, which feels like a small miracle. I also love that the fabric is super smooth and doesn't show under clothes. It feels luxe without being overcomplicated. It's one of those rare bras that's cute and functional. And honestly, finding both in one piece is a win. Shop the Skims Ultimate Bra Collection and more at Skims.com.

After you place your order, be sure to let them know I sent you. Select podcast in the survey and be sure to select my show, Dumb Blonde, in the drop down menu that follows. So can we talk about how everybody in the comments is so mad at how I kissed my husband on the red carpet?

Let's talk about it. Let's go ahead and talk. What are they saying now? They're like, she's not really with him. That was a fake kiss. This is fake love. Ew. Can you believe the way she kissed him? Let's have a conversation. When you are on a red carpet, you literally have 300 cameras pointing at you at one moment. If I lingered on his lips longer than 10 seconds, you guys would be like, oh, she's still a whore. You know, it would...

Stop making out. Stop. Get a room. This is disgusting. This is a family award show. You also have lip gloss on. I have lip gloss on. I have an entire face. My husband has to continue taking pictures after that kiss. So does he want a freaking lip liner and gloss all over his face? No.

What other couple do you see on the carpet kissing? Nobody. There are no other couples that kiss on the carpet. And every time we walk up, which Jason, insert a clip here, you will hear the photographers ask Jay and I to kiss. One more kiss. One more kiss. Honey, over there. Kiss.

They don't do that with any other couple. And I don't mind. Like, I love our photographers that are our friends, like Taylor Hill, John Shearer. There's a couple other ones that we love to death. And they always, you know, they always get the great picture. And so, you know, if they want us to kiss, we'll kiss. And I don't mind kissing my husband. But I'm not going to fucking lock lips with them. Same thing on stage. You know, people had a problem with how I was kissing him on stage. First, it was I was kissing him too much. Good.

Then it was, oh, she doesn't like him. She doesn't even want to kiss him. And it's like, bro, we're in front. As the brand has grown, we're in front of children. We're in front of like families, people. My husband's singing hard fought hallelujah. You want me to fucking lick his balls right there on stage? Like, what do you want me to do? It's just crazy to me. It's like, leave me the fuck alone. And then my favorite thing in the comments was.

People are like, oh, he's lost the weight, but she's picked up the weight he's lost. First of all, two days before that, insert pictures here and here. Two days before that, you guys were just talking. I literally had news articles being written about how great my body looked from losing the IVF weight, which I've been working really hard on for the past seven weeks. And I'm taking fucking large amounts of hormones to produce eggs, right?

Um, but I'm still working out. You guys are writing news articles about how great my body looked. And then two days later calling me fat because of angles that men, I'm sorry. I love all the photographers on the red carpet, but there are men that are shooting a woman's body and any woman that has curves, uh,

is going to look boxy or it's just not going to look right on the carpet because of the angles, the lighting, all of that. Name a single person who looks flawless at every single angle. Kelsey Ballerini.

Kelsey Ballerini. She can fucking wear a potato sack and she looks like a freaking Kelsey Ballerini. I know. I know. But literally red carpets are very tough. You have no control over lighting either because like they're adding weird shadows that aren't even there. Yeah. I could take the same

photo standing two feet away from another photographer and you look completely different yeah no it's crazy if you laugh a double chin comes in if you freaking that's a slimer trauma like this

You literally get why the Kardashians walk down like this. Yeah. Yeah. They don't even move. They don't move. It's crazy. I fucking hate red carpets. They give me the worst anxiety. I loathe them, but I go because it's moments in time that I want to capture with my husband.

So, you know, you should pull a gaga one day and just like come fully covered. I'm just gonna put a box over my head next time. Literally just marshmallow. Yeah. I'll just show up with like a fucking, just a weird fucking helmet on. I get it. Nobody can say anything. We're like a corset sucking me in like Kim Kardashian does with the corsets and a mold of crunch, a crunch head. It's even got his horns and shit. I'm just nudging people on the red carpet. Yeah.

That's audible.com slash WonderyUS. So, I mean, you guys need to be kind because you never know what people are going through. Yeah, because you don't comment on people's bodies. You literally do fucking ass off for this. You have dropped everything.

Every bit of weight, right? So I've dropped. So the thing is, is I've dropped, I haven't dropped below what I I'm still at one 61, but when I, and when I first started the IVF, I was one 59. But the thing is, is my body's recomping. So it's moving stuff around and I'm gaining more muscle because I'm not trying to lose weight. I'm trying to put on muscle to lose weight, but now I'm going into my fricking second egg retrieval. So I'm going to have to be taking a bunch of hormones and, and,

When I tell you this IVF process has been a journey, it is definitely not a destination right now. We are going through the motions and I never thought that the journey was going to be easy, but I didn't think it was going to be this hard either, you know, because normally anything I want, I get immediately and I've never really had to like

That sounds horrible saying I've never really had to work for anything because I've worked my ass off, but I make it look effortless. And whereas this is very emotional. I don't do a lot of things that are emotional. This is also unpredictable. IVF journey is emotional. It's unpredictable. And I promised myself when I started this, if I had to do a second retrieval, I would do it, but this is it. This is all I'm going to do. And yes, we got eggs before on the first retrieval, but we're going to do another one just to see

broaden our chances. Um, even though I really don't want to, I kind of just want to use the eggs that we have right now, but you know, it is what it is. It's a journey and we're, uh, we're on it. That leads into one of the questions that, um, one of your Patreons asked, they wanted to know if your book is going to be covering the journey of IVF and if you're going to make this an audio book and if so, who's going to be reading the audio book?

Yeah, I think we've answered this before. Not the IVF journey part, but yes, we're going to have an audio book and I'm going to be doing the audio book. And the book comes out to 26. That is a for sure date, February of 2026. And we will be doing a book tour. And yes, it's going to be covering the IVF journey all the way up to June.

Whatever surprises we may have for you by then. And then the, you know, we have another book. It can go across more in depth. Yeah. No, it's not going to be centered around IVF or anything like that, but it's going to touch on it. Yeah. I filmed the first egg retrieval like every day. The second egg retrieval, I think I'm going to be a little bit looser with and just kind of like,

you know, I'll talk about it in a book or something like that. And maybe, like I said, I'll make a YouTube video after the baby's been here for like a year of the journey and stuff like that. But just know we're on it. It's hard. And, you know, we're not giving up yet. Yeah. Well, if you guys don't want to talk about anything else, I'm ready to get home to my fucking cow. Yeah. Toodle fucking ooh, bitches.
