1:34
The example that comes to mind is...
1:46
At their best, they attack public health efforts
1:48
in times of crisis. And at their worst,
1:50
it's like they're recruiting for the fever dream
1:52
of QAnon. On Conspiratuality, you
1:54
will have a journalist, a cult
1:57
researcher, and a philosophical skeptic all
1:59
discussing stories and cult dynamics and
2:01
helping educate us and using
2:03
proven science as their guiding light.
2:06
I really recommend the Jordan Klepper episode
2:08
talking about creating comedy in the MAGA
2:10
verse. Jordan's incredible. And I
2:13
also really love the medical medium episode. It's
2:15
really good and not just because I've had my
2:17
own weird experiences with mediums. From
2:20
exploring cults to analyzing our cultural
2:22
and political landscape, the Conspiratuality podcast
2:24
will help you stay informed against
2:27
misinformation and resist fear tactics. And
2:30
Conspiratuality on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or
2:32
wherever you get your podcasts. MAGA
2:35
is an improvised satire from the staff of a fictional
2:37
MAGA church. We
2:43
are here. The only
2:45
thing we can
2:47
believe. Hiya,
2:55
I'm Halley LeBont and this is MAGA coming
2:58
to you from Twin Hills Community. Where
3:00
every week we're given our MAGA church, a
3:03
tiny family feel. We love to introduce you to
3:05
members of our church, people from our community, and
3:07
I always find it to be a treat and
3:09
a treasure. And per usual,
3:11
I'm joined by my co-host. He's the
3:14
youth pastor for our high school ministry
3:16
called Climax. Please welcome
3:18
Gray Hodge. It's almost St.
3:20
Patty's Day. Chase the snakes
3:23
away, Jesus. How are you?
3:26
I have two blessed to be stressed and I'm
3:28
from the Emerald Isle and I got Christ on
3:30
speed dial. I'm
3:33
a little bit Irish. I'm just a little fraction of
3:35
Irish. Oh really? What are you,
3:37
Halley? I've never asked. I found out I'm
3:40
Belgium Irish, Scottish, English, Irish,
3:42
and a little bit German and French. Oh,
3:44
so you've got a lot of the ish
3:47
ones. European
3:49
through and through, I guess. And
3:53
do you feel just like a strong sense of
3:55
cultural heritage to your heritage? Well,
3:57
it makes me feel like I have to tinkle, honestly.
4:00
because peon is in the name. You know, I
4:02
always European. It feels like
4:04
you know you're kind of thinking of them sort
4:06
of taking a squad over there all the
4:08
time when you hear the word European, don't you?
4:11
No. Anyway, Holly, how are you?
4:14
Oh, well, I'm kind of
4:16
excited about St. Patrick's Day, although I'm
4:18
tempering it because I just
4:20
never am sure if as Christ followers,
4:22
we're supposed to really give a flip
4:25
about it, you know? Right.
4:27
And Steve did such a great job
4:29
this weekend. Lead Pastor Steve used
4:32
the theme of St. Patty's Day to just
4:35
talk about the love of Christ and his
4:37
power in our life this weekend and how
4:39
a lot of times, you know, people get
4:41
all hung up on, you know, the St.
4:43
Patty's Day holiday and they think
4:46
it's about drinking beer and everything. So Steve
4:48
just used it as a classic way to
4:50
be relevant but point people, you know, to
4:52
the truth. And I think it's been really
4:55
fun around campus here at Twin Hills. So
4:57
celebratory and I love when you can take
4:59
a holiday away from the people who don't
5:01
really deserve the holiday and make it about
5:04
Jesus. And it's just
5:06
beautiful around here. I mean, you know,
5:08
Steve, we had pots of those gold
5:10
chocolate coins when you came into the
5:14
main auditorium and we also had, well,
5:16
we dyed the Lacy River green. It
5:19
looks awesome. It is gorgeous and I'm
5:21
not sure the chemical they used to
5:23
do that but, you know, it was
5:25
interesting, Holly. I was walking
5:27
by on the way from my office. All
5:30
the frogs were just leaping out of
5:32
the water. It almost looked like something
5:36
biblical, you know, just for some reason the
5:38
frogs didn't like the green stuff. Oh,
5:40
that's weird because it seems like they wouldn't even
5:42
know it was green. They'd be like, what's green
5:44
because they're green. Yeah, I
5:47
don't know why they didn't like that color but a lot of them
5:49
were jumping out of the water half burned. And
5:51
then, yeah, I guess as you
5:53
go into the auditorium, it was
5:55
just so festive and Irish, you
5:58
know, Irish music was playing. There were
6:00
Irish dances on the stage and
6:03
then like you said Steve really
6:05
brought it home with his awesome
6:07
message Well, I thought it was
6:09
a great opportunity because I have Catholic
6:11
neighbors and I am always trying to
6:14
witness to them I just it's like
6:16
a constant It's it's at the
6:18
forefront of my mind any time I see either one of
6:20
them even if they're just coming over Saying
6:23
hey, can I use Lance's leaf blower
6:25
or whatnot? I use every interaction as
6:27
an opportunity to witness to them and
6:29
I thought you know what? St.
6:31
Patrick's Day because it's got that word in it
6:33
faint, you know, and they love It's
6:37
like they're trying to be so flowery
6:39
or something they're putting st. Before everybody's
6:41
name st. Paul's st. John Hey, guess
6:43
what? I can save you a syllable.
6:46
It's Paul. It's John. It's
6:48
Peter It's you know and
6:50
these these are names that were purposefully simple
6:52
I mean Jesus but they probably had we
6:55
added names and Jesus was like no you
6:57
Peter. No you Phil No, you
6:59
John, you know Exactly. This
7:01
was about simplicity. Yes, and So
7:05
I I've always
7:07
been a little bit leery of Catholics
7:09
and it's because of course, you know
7:11
I was raised to see them as
7:14
wolves in sheep's clothing because you know,
7:16
it's like they're They're
7:18
kind of close to the truth. I
7:20
mean they're talking about Jesus But they
7:22
just a little bit there had asked
7:24
you. Yeah, they're always talking about its mom Sometimes
7:28
I don't mind that because I do feel like
7:30
mothers in general are underappreciated Not
7:32
really I think we talked about
7:34
it all the time offer to my neighbors where
7:36
I said, you know what? We're having a special
7:38
st. Patty's Day program at our at my church
7:41
twin Hills and it's an awesome church You'd be
7:43
so blown away by the creative programming and you'd
7:45
have so much fun It would get you in
7:47
the mood for your holiday because
7:49
I really do think it is a Catholic
7:51
holiday, right? Oh, I think it's bigger than Christmas
7:54
to them. Well, they're gonna need stuff Well, we've got
7:56
Notre Dame right here in the great state
7:58
of Indiana and that's a Catholic college and
8:01
you know I think they're pretty good and
8:03
they're Irish and well they
8:05
think they're good well I
8:08
I do like Irish hospitals I do because they
8:10
don't do abortions but that might be the only
8:12
good thing about these Catholics so I invited my
8:15
neighbors to Twin Hills for st.
8:17
Patty's Day weekend and they said you know what
8:19
how about you come with us to mass at
8:21
our church one time and then we'll come with
8:23
you to Twin Hills and I was like oh
8:25
my goodness gracious how am I gonna get through
8:27
this and honestly gray I was a little embarrassed because
8:29
I was like okay but then I was
8:32
embarrassed being seen in the parking lot and going in there
8:34
I didn't want anyone to think I was one of them
8:36
did you wear disguise well I
8:38
wore my classic disguise that you know
8:40
a big caftan from Lula row and
8:43
some big chunky knockoff Gucci glasses and
8:45
chunky jewelry that is kind of it but
8:47
I got in there and I was so
8:50
bored gray I almost fell asleep the whole
8:52
time the only thing keeping me awake was
8:54
that we had to keep standing up sitting
8:56
down standing up sitting down and the pews
8:58
were so hard I almost needed a hemorrhoid
9:01
pillow just to be able to be comfortable
9:03
enough to take a snooze
9:05
a quick nap break if you know what
9:07
I mean but I did notice when I
9:09
tuned in to what they were talking
9:11
about when I could try to gather meaning
9:14
from how boring it was I did
9:17
hear them talking about Jesus a lot
9:19
okay and I was like wow I didn't
9:21
realize they were they're into Jesus and I
9:23
was like well I guess that's okay how
9:25
do you even concentrate on Jesus when you're
9:27
sitting on a bench like that I mean
9:29
at least at Twin Hills and in the
9:31
V I mean in the VIP section we
9:33
have theta seating and it's completely reclined and
9:35
you have cup holders and
9:38
in the rest of the auditorium I mean the
9:40
seats are really nice Oh cushions and
9:42
you can tilt them back yeah you
9:44
have a place for your coffee and you
9:46
have armrests it feels fantastic when you
9:48
sit down with a nice little
9:50
sweat whipped up on your skin
9:53
from the heated praise
9:55
and worship you can relax in such
9:57
a comfortable chair and as you know
9:59
I've been drinking a lot of juice
10:01
lately because it's so much more healthy
10:03
than soda pop so I go in
10:05
there with my big tumbler of juice
10:07
and there's not even a single place
10:09
to put it they don't have a
10:11
cup holder anywhere they kind of had
10:13
these hymnal holders I was trying to
10:15
shove my big tumbler in there it
10:17
kept bouncing off the concrete floors and
10:19
making all sorts of noise drawing attention
10:21
luckily I had my sunglasses on even
10:23
inside but man a
10:25
living did you get them to come to Twin
10:28
Hills and really compare and contrast because that is going
10:30
to sell them well that's the thing
10:32
and I'm so discouraged but I'll try again
10:34
next year I went to their service I
10:36
held up my end of the bargain gray
10:39
and guess what turns out on
10:41
Sunday morning Alice said her back had gone
10:43
out and they wouldn't be able to join
10:45
me at Twin Hills and I was so
10:47
disappointed. I hope you can hear my eyes
10:49
rolling. I actually think I can
10:51
hear it. I've been having this
10:53
thing where I roll when I roll my eyes it
10:56
makes like a squeak noise. Yeah it's like squeaking
10:58
and clicking and it almost sounds like one
11:00
of those Swiss watches with all the mechanisms
11:02
in it. Any
11:04
hootles I was really disappointed because then
11:06
lead pastor Steve got up and in
11:08
our St. Patty's Day themed service and
11:11
I just was thinking about my neighbors the
11:14
whole time and how it would have blessed them
11:16
and probably saved them because
11:18
he had this thing you know the auditorium
11:20
was all decorated in all sorts of
11:22
rainbows going into pots of golds and four
11:24
leaf clovers and everything and then at
11:26
one point Steve brought up a
11:28
graphic on the iMEG screens of a
11:30
big four leaf clover and he started
11:32
talking about the idea of luck you
11:35
know the luck of the Irish oh
11:37
I wish I had better luck oh
11:39
you know the idea of luck and
11:41
it was just a perfect segue for
11:43
him to talk about like luck what even
11:45
is luck there is no such thing as
11:48
luck this is something these Irish and these
11:50
Catholics everything they're just making up. Yeah
11:52
luck sucks. See and
11:54
if you put up this big graphic of
11:56
a four leaf clover and then he had
11:58
a sandaled foot of Jesus come down and.
12:01
Crush the four leaf clover. So
12:04
far as there's. No such thing
12:06
as luck there is. Providence.
12:08

guest today is an influencer. Extraordinary Welcome
13:33
back to the program Lally Mall again
13:35
How you feeling today Lally Oh yeah
13:37
it is so good it easier to
13:39
see that. What a blessing! Found the
13:42
Lord himself. Ah have your say again
13:44
today As always Oh well. I know
13:46
who dressed based on mood so when
13:48
you walked in here in paint on
13:50
paint on pigs I said well what
13:52
mood is their ups and silly My
13:54
Barbie era what can I. Say I love
13:57
that movie. it's hot me about Enemies than I did
13:59
not know it. It. until the movie. Oh
14:01
wow and what is it? And is
14:03
it okay? Yeah is it? I know.
14:05
Feminism is so beautiful. It's when
14:07
it just basically says women can wear
14:10
pink and that is okay and
14:12
they just want to be pretty and that's
14:14
fine. Let them be pretty. Let women be
14:17
women again. Am I right? I mean if
14:20
it's not broke don't fix it you know. Girls
14:22
if you don't feel sexy in a Birkenstock put
14:24
on a heel and a lip. I mean it's
14:27
simple. I know and I know a lot of
14:29
people didn't like the Barbie movie but I just
14:32
went in there with a positive attitude and I came out
14:34
saying I really loved all the clothes in that. I
14:36
love that because yeah I was a bit bored and I didn't
14:39
you know when I hear about feminism I
14:41
usually I don't really pay attention and I'm just
14:43
kind of wondering if we could redefine feminism as
14:46
you know boys will be boys and
14:48
ladies will be ladies and you can
14:50
be as feminist as you want but
14:52
you know maybe that's it. Maybe let's
14:54
just keep it. Keep them separated is
14:56
what I think. No I totally agree with that.
14:58
I am just to
15:00
be honest with you my life has changed so much since
15:02
I last saw y'all. Oh wow. What's going on? So I'm
15:05
just kind of like well
15:07
obviously I'm still an influence person didn't
15:09
you worry. Awesome. But I so I
15:11
did get a divorce which I know
15:13
y'all are probably just being so
15:15
hard about. I am but I'm
15:18
hoping that you know maybe you
15:20
could. Is there any chance
15:22
of repair? No like
15:24
yeah no um he cheated
15:26
on me and I
15:28
cheated on him and we were both cheated
15:30
on each other with each
15:33
other's best friends and and
15:35
then I got mad that he knew that I was cheating so
15:37
I started cheating on him with somebody else after that and I
15:40
cheated on the guy that I cheated with and
15:42
he started cheating on the girl that he was cheating with. So by
15:44
the end of it we just thought you know what it's
15:46
best it's like I just think the Lord would want us
15:48
to go our separate way. Who was the last
15:50
person to cheat in that scenario in terms
15:53
of the sort of ripple effect of the
15:55
cheating that was happening? Oh my gosh
15:57
well I mean I guess it
15:59
would have been My Mom. oh
16:01
wow yeah my mom cheated on my dad
16:03
when he heard that I've achieved and on
16:05
my has been in and and she down
16:07
at it might ever cheated on her mind
16:09
which is this but they're still together. They're
16:12
going strong You know they are going to.
16:14
Work. It hasn't had interesting highly because we
16:16
say this all the time. Divorce can
16:18
destroy a family and not just the
16:20
family of you know, Lally and her
16:22
husband, but it really just seems like
16:24
it went like a tidal wave through
16:26
your friends. Been also your parents and
16:29
you know, I don't know about his
16:31
family but I just wonder if it
16:33
know it's a tie the I know
16:35
from this Sunday. Wow. My divorce
16:37
that they had a broken hearts. oh
16:39
it sounds. As it really dollars
16:41
every day for you. Know I
16:43
just picked. I felt bad for my
16:45
boot straps. And by our money back.
16:48
On. My did she sat
16:50
and I went and I. I
16:53

16:55

18:03
on kids coming in and out of

the ram and in the kitchen. It's
18:07
a gorgeous image and and I bet
18:09
by having all these children guess what

20:29
right Yeah, wow, and there's only 11
20:31
years between them. Yeah, this firm still
20:33
work amazing I know and how
20:35
many of these children are natural births to you because
20:37
I'd say I mean really
20:39
not some of them because they look a bit
20:42
different. Yeah, you know, right. We've got about
20:44
11 kids Oh my goodness. I know I
20:46
well, I just thought you know what? I'm
20:48
all in and obviously he's all in because
20:50
he has probably only a few more years
20:52
on this earth with us if we're being
20:54
honest So yeah, we went for
20:56
it. Oh, I love it. So
20:58
I got it kind of a package deal I
21:00
just got a bunch of kids from the orphanage
21:02
in town And
21:05
and then obviously I popped out if you like
21:07
his first still work And you said you have
21:09
about 11 kids does it fluctuate?
21:11
Are there some who like are they older
21:13
they come and go or what they try
21:15
to run away? You know that kind of
21:17
stuff, but yeah on average is about 11.
21:19
Okay. Wow, that's impressive Well, and in this
21:21
video, I like I like that you can I
21:24
like that some of them say IVF Baby
21:26
on them because those right yeah And so tell us
21:29
a little bit about that because I guess there's just
21:31
a lot going on right now with IVF Oh,
21:33
yeah, it's so controversial and I'm just
21:35
going hey We need more Christian babies
21:37
and Christian women to have babies in
21:39
this world You know, did
21:42
you run into any problems with
21:44
with IVF, right? Yeah, no such a
21:46
good question No, well, so I didn't really know
21:48
that IVF was IVF. Like I thought they were
21:50
just like, you know What we're just helping y'all
21:52
have been here. Yeah. Well, obviously I need some
21:54
help You know, I'm looking to
21:56
have I said, you know, I was like
21:58
I'm looking to have 11 kids in the next you know, three
22:00
years. And so they were like, well,
22:02
best, best treatments IVF because it increases the
22:04
chances you're going to have twins. Oh, and did
22:07
you have any? I did. I had
22:09
a triplet X. So there are three
22:12
of them. Yeah. Wow.
22:14
I love them. It's come caught. And
22:17
Clementine and salamander. Oh,
22:20
and we, they are
22:22
just the fricking cutest.
22:25
I'm obsessed. Yeah. I did not know that IVF
22:27
is IVF. And then obviously when all this stuff,
22:29
you know, politics and all that, they started talking
22:32
about IVF. I thought, well, that sounds like the
22:34
devil. And obviously none of us should do that.
22:36
The Lord should either bless you with children or
22:38
not. And then I learned I'd already done it.
22:41
Oh, it was, oh, that is always surprising.
22:43
Isn't it? Oh my God. Yeah. It's terrifying to
22:45
find out that you could drop a cookie sheet
22:47
and kill a hundred kids. Thank you. I mean,
22:49
my land. Is that how they put them? And
22:51
they put them on a cookie sheet. Yeah. And
22:54
then they go into a walk-in freezer like you
22:56
have in the back of a book at a
22:58
Beppo or whatever. And I mean, I'll tell you
23:00
what I just forgive me if this is too
23:02
personal, but did you have them with your own
23:05
body? Do you know they're yours? Uh,
23:08
or, you know, I had a few surrogates
23:10
actually. So yeah. Um, so that's how you keep
23:12
your body. I couldn't have changed my body. I
23:14
was going to say your body is banging. Am
23:16
I allowed to say that? And
23:19
three in a row would just shred your undercarriage
23:21
in a way that would send even an elderly
23:23
man. I need to be, no, my undercarriage
23:25
needs to be taught and, and
23:27
tight. And I need that because, you know, I'm
23:30
taking bikini pics every single day. And
23:33
obviously, you know, my brand has changed some.
23:35
So I do wear an apron now sometimes
23:37
when I'm in my bikini and stuff like
23:39
that. Um, or, you know, I'm holding a
23:41
fresh loaf, where I'm doing the laundry by
23:43
hand outside, you know, but all for show
23:46
obviously. I think a clothesline is underrated. And
23:48
if I may offer you a word basket
23:50
of encouragement, Lally, uh, I think this rebrand
23:52
you've done with your new fashion looks, the
23:54
fact that you are making Little House on the
23:57
Prairie dress is hip. Yeah. I think it's a
23:59
win for credit. because it's so modest
24:01
and now all these hipsters are doing it
24:03
and I love it. That is so sweet.
24:05
You know, I really do love, one of
24:07
my favorite things is just the way that
24:09
the line blurs between really,
24:11
really hip folk in LA
24:13
who are anti-vaxx and
24:15
you know someone like us. Yes. The more
24:17
that we can blur that line through the internet the
24:20
better. I think so too. I'm looking
24:22
through some of your numbers here and amazing
24:24
stuff and I like this one which was
24:26
I guess it seems like
24:28
in this video you vaccinated your children with the sourdough starter.
24:30
Is that right? That's right. I was getting kind of
24:32
a joke. Oh, okay. I was like, I know
24:34
you really want to get vaccinated. I'll vaccinate you. It's
24:38
a funny little joke because you know obviously none of
24:40
us are vaccinated and but
24:42
yeah you know that was I
24:44
believe in that video. It looks
24:47
like salamander because they
24:49
all look the same to be honest to
24:52
me. I can't tell any of them. And the bright
24:54
red hair just really red red hair. Right and
24:56
then we have Hudson and Braxton and
24:59
Brex hugs. Oh, they're darling. It's a
25:01
combo. Yeah. And those are the three adopted
25:03
triplets I guess. Oh wow. That's right. Yeah. No.
25:05
So I only wanted to do triplets. But
25:08
obviously I got three sets of triplets. Oh wow. That's
25:10
nine of them and then I got I got twins.
25:12
Oh. Which I was kind of bummed about but they're
25:14
fun. You know what are you gonna
25:16
do? What are you gonna do? Is this beautiful
25:18
woman on the side of this photo on your
25:20
phone? Is that the nanny? I mean she's gorgeous. She
25:23
looks like a Sudanese model or something. Yeah, no.
25:25
She is the nanny. Yes. So she well she's one
25:27
of I have about
25:29
20 people helping me. Oh really. My
25:33
husband. I don't know if I
25:35
mentioned this. He's very wealthy. Oh wonderful. I was I
25:37
was wondering that because I guess in some of these
25:39
videos also you know he's showing
25:41
off some I guess he's our automatic weapons
25:44
of some sort. Oh wow. And so is
25:46
he of the Pettigrew of
25:48
the Pettigrew of firearm family?
25:50
Yes. Oh my
25:53
gosh. Yeah. He is from
25:55
a gun family but the gun
25:57
family. Really. Yeah. I mean you don't you can't
26:00
you can't go to a shooting in America and not find a
26:02
pedigree. That's what I always say. You know actually whenever
26:04
a school shooting happens or something like that I go
26:06
honey what did they use? Good question. That's
26:08
always my first question. And when we find out
26:10
I'm always I mean I obviously it's so sad or
26:12
whatever but I'm always going you know
26:14
a little bit a little part of me's like yes yes
26:17
because it's free advertising. It is that's
26:19
what I'm talking about you know even
26:21
negative all bad press is good for it. And
26:24
even for the good shootings I think that's
26:26
probably good good placement where it's like you
26:28
know when you had a good guy with
26:30
a gun that came in and shot the
26:32
terrorist or shot the mall shooter or rescued
26:34
the whole family from the van that was
26:36
you know sinking because you know I
26:40
don't know how you would save the sinking
26:42
family with a gun passe but I guess
26:44
what I'm saying is it's always good if
26:46
the gun that was used for good is
26:48
probably a pedigree gun. Absolutely. Yep if
26:50
we could be so lucky you know they'd
26:53
all be pedigrews. Fingers crossed. Well I was
26:55
recently overseas I took one of my daughters
26:57
to Paris. Which
26:59
daughter? And the one who doesn't shave her
27:02
armpits and flirts with socialism. Anyway we were
27:04
over there and Lally we were talking to
27:06
French people asking them have you been to
27:08
the States have you been to New York
27:10
Chicago Atlanta you know bragging about you know
27:12
we're the greatest country on earth and everyone
27:14
we met overseas Lally said oh I would
27:16
never go to the States I don't want
27:18
to be shot and I said oh you're
27:20
not gonna be shot. Oh come on. They said
27:22
it's every other week in the news somebody people
27:24
masses are getting shot in America and I said
27:26
yeah but it doesn't it hasn't happened to me
27:29
yet and if it hasn't happened to you it's
27:31
not a problem am I right? Yeah and I'm
27:33
just like you should be so lucky you know
27:35
if it's a pedigree like you should
27:37
be so lucky bless you. Now like
27:40
it's rare really. Because
27:48
I really value truth misinformation really
27:50
really scares me and that's why
27:52
I'm excited to tell you about
27:55
Conspirituality a podcast that dismantles new
27:57
age cults, wellness grifters and Conspir-
28:00
conspiracy-mad yogis. At
28:02
their best, they attack public health efforts
28:04
in times of crisis, and at their
28:06
worst, it's like they're recruiting for the
28:09
fever dream of QAnon. On Conspiratuality, you
28:11
will have a journalist, a cult researcher,
28:13
and a philosophical skeptic all discussing stories
28:15
and cult dynamics and helping educate us
28:18
and using proven science as
28:20
their guiding light. I
28:22
really recommend the Jordan Klepper episode, talking
28:24
about creating comedy in the MAGAverse. Jordan's
28:27
incredible. And I also really love the
28:29
medical medium episode. It's really good and
28:31
not just because I've had my own weird experiences
28:33
with mediums. From exploring
28:35
cults to analyzing our cultural
28:37
and political landscape, the Conspiratuality
28:39
podcast will help you stay
28:42
informed against misinformation and resist
28:44
fear tactics. Find Conspiratuality on

29:07
do I do? What's gerrymandering? What
29:09
happens chemically when I fall in
29:11
love? How do I handle a
29:13
parent-teacher conference? What are microbes? Listen
29:15
to Nobody Listens to Fall a Poundstone.
29:18
Self-problems get lonely. I'm
29:29
worried about your career if Biden bans
29:32
TikTok. Will you lose your income? I
29:34
know. Well, no. I mean,
29:36
I'm still huge on Instagram. I'm still
29:38
huge on Facebook. But yeah, you know,
29:41
I'm just, I'm kind of like, obviously,
29:44
TikTok is full of freaks. People I
29:46
do not agree with. But at the
29:48
same time, you know, I have a
29:51
big freaking following on there. A lot
29:53
of men. A lot of men. Look
29:55
at what I've got going on. Yeah.
29:58
And it would be hard to let them go
30:00
to be honest. It would be hard. And it's important
30:02
to show these fellas how alluring
30:04
a woman of God is so that
30:07
they can get a taste for Christ
30:09
following God. The only women I follow
30:11
on TikTok are Christ following women. I think
30:13
they're so beautiful because I
30:16
love women so much and I
30:18
think that women, especially
30:20
if they're modest on TikTok, I'm like
30:22
yeah modest is hottest. I'm sorry. I
30:24
know, I know and I had to
30:26
learn that the hard way because you know a lot of my, like I
30:28
was saying, a lot of my pics were bikini pics. But now
30:30
yeah I've got the floor legs, floral dresses on
30:33
and I've got my hair braided. Yeah.
30:35
And sometimes I do wear it on it you
30:38
know. Or sometimes I'll go
30:40
and I'll pick fruit and I'll be wearing like big
30:42
puffy sleeves you know. And
30:44
people get so freaking, and I'm sorry
30:47
to say this on here, horny. Is
30:49
that right? They do. Well
30:51
I'm reading some of the comments and
30:53
you know like Raspberry 6ix9ine from you
30:56
know says this. Oh I know. Okay
30:58
yeah. This Laura Ashley Slutt looks like
31:00
she's the third wife of a Mormon.
31:03
I don't understand but that means. Is
31:05
that high praise on her? Yeah
31:07
right. Well so okay so there are
31:09
some other like, I don't know what
31:12
they call them, tradwives. That's something they've
31:14
been calling us. I don't know. I'm
31:16
not offended by that. Traditional wife. But
31:19
there's this beautiful Utah
31:21
couple, or excuse me, Mormon
31:23
couple. And I believe they live in LA. They're both
31:25
models. They're gorgeous. She's making,
31:27
oh my gosh. She's one of my
31:29
biggest competitors. Really? So actually to
31:31
be compared to her, for someone to
31:34
say I look Mormon, honestly I'm complimented.
31:36
She's absolutely stunning. And
31:39
definitely she's 21 and she's got like five kids.
31:42
Respect someone when I think I look
31:44
21. Yeah I mean you definitely look
31:47
an age. And I think, I
31:50
love your videos personally. Because
31:53
even if you do have competitors, I don't think
31:55
anybody's doing it quite like you. I mean when
31:57
you said to kids from the trough. I
32:00
thought that was amazing with the bucket of cheese and
32:02
the trough. You saw that? Amazing. I just
32:05
said it's piggy time and I put out
32:07
the trough and they went to freaking town.
32:09
Did you see the follow up video where they
32:11
all go to bathroom? Oh yes, with the drone.
32:13
That was awesome. That was great. Yeah, we had
32:15
a drone going in there. I mean, I just
32:17
dug another trough in the yard and they're all
32:19
going in there. It's wild. It's really funny, Hallie, because they're
32:21
all, they eat from the trough and then it says to
32:24
be continued and then they're all running out of the house
32:26
and going to this trough in the yard and it's an
32:28
overhead shot. So
32:30
you see all the little pigs and the
32:33
kids in the yard. Yeah, they are pigs.
32:35
Wow. And the thing is, the kids
32:37
are, I tell them every single
32:39
day they have to have about, it's about six hours
32:41
of filming that we do. So
32:44
yeah, they go to school, they do all that, but
32:46
when they come home, it's mommy's work time. They are
32:48
going to be in the videos with me. I tell
32:50
them and it's great. They
32:53
hate it, but when they get
32:55
through it, they're always grateful. When I show them how
32:57
many views they got in the comments, when
33:00
people call them cute or whatever, ugly, I
33:02
show it to them, everything. And because I know
33:04
that is building up their self-confidence, making them feel
33:06
strong. It's good for you. That is awesome.
33:08
And look at this one. I like this video
33:10
you have on Instagram where, what is this?
33:12
You got one of these like big 50
33:14
gallon tubs from Home Depot and then you made
33:17
a seven layer dip in it for the
33:19
whole family, just throwing in industrial cans of beans
33:21
and it's a 20 gallon thing of salsa and
33:23
cheddar. This is hilarious. And then they all
33:25
get in it. So
33:28
I was wondering about that. Like
33:30
when you go to do, because like this
33:32
one says, we're a Costco fan, the
33:34
Pettigrew crew shops at Costco. Are
33:36
you getting, okay, and
33:39
you are getting like sponsorship money from
33:41
Costco. How does that work? Oh
33:43
yeah, absolutely. No. Well,
33:45
oftentimes, I've had lots of companies who've
33:47
wanted to end their relationship with me,
33:49
but that also opened the door to
33:52
so many more fun companies. I
33:55
do hobby lobby, I do Chick-fil-A, I
33:57
do, what else? Home
34:00
decor, yeah. And home decor.
34:02
And home decor. Yeah. And decoy
34:05
decor. Oh, and you didn't do bed baths
34:07
and beyond but you did this bed bath
34:09
in between? I haven't heard of that one.
34:11
Yeah, yeah, that's a company. It's
34:14
just online. What's between bed and bath? I'm
34:16
trying to think like a hallway or a...
34:18
Yeah, it's mostly hallway stuff. Hallway decor. Oh
34:20
cool. So you know little tables. Little
34:22
tables, yeah. Maybe a... You know, play for your
34:24
shoes. Okay. Shoe rack, maybe a rug. I don't
34:26
know. I just don't really think of a hallway
34:29
as being something... Sometimes a rug. Only runners. Oh,
34:31
runners. A lot of framed photos. Framed photos. Okay.
34:33
So that's the between. Yeah, you don't really think
34:35
about that part of the house as being something
34:38
that you really think about the decorating but you
34:40
are. A hallway. Oh, it's so important. Oh my god,
34:42
yeah. And you know, maybe you guys have seen
34:44
some of my videos where I'll go to... I
34:47
did a little thing for World Market which I thought was so
34:49
surprising but I just read. I
34:52
just kind of ramble on the Bible. I just
34:55
say, you know, I'm gonna give you a reading and I
34:57
just say whatever. I don't need to have a Bible. I
34:59
don't know what's in it at all but I just go
35:01
and I talk live on a live stream for about, you
35:03
know, two and a half hours or something like that and
35:05
I'll come out of it and I'll be like, I blacked
35:08
out. I had no idea what I was saying. I
35:10
mean I've said this before, Hallie. You
35:12
don't need the Bible to be Christian.
35:14
Jesus didn't say read the Bible, right?
35:16
He said follow me and he
35:18
said, you know, help the poor and I
35:21
think the best place to help the poor is World
35:23
Market because isn't all that stuff basically made by children
35:25
and, you know, different
35:27
places like that. Isn't that beautiful? Isn't
35:29
that beautiful? It's all made by kids. Little tiny
35:31
hands made that with all that. Well, that must
35:33
be why the detail is good. Oh, the
35:35
detail is so good and speaking of, I love
35:38
the one where Salamander is in the basket on
35:40
the back of the truck and you all do
35:42
the whole Indiana Jones thing. Oh yeah. Where the
35:44
basket falls off the truck. Did you see the
35:46
one where I put him on the I put him on the
35:48
roof and I pretended, you know, like I put my coffee cup
35:50
up there and I put him on there and I get in
35:52
the car and I drive and he falls off the back. I
35:54
didn't see that. That's fun. Yeah, that one's funny. Oh
35:57
wait, we said when I knew you were like, where's my coffee?
35:59
Yeah. I can't function without my
36:01
coffee or something really funny like that. You don't wanna
36:03
see me without my coffee. I
36:05
said yeah, don't you dare talk to me, I'll
36:07
freaking kill you unless I've had my coffee. Ha
36:09
ha ha, and that's the truth. That
36:12
is awesome. Meanwhile, my son is rolling off the
36:14
back of the car. I just thought that was
36:16
such a, cause we do a lot of pranks.
36:18
We do a lot of prank stuff. But what I
36:20
like about the pranks, and you know, pranks
36:24
can be hard when there's somebody
36:26
that's the victim of the prank. But
36:28
the way you all do it, the way the
36:30
Pettigrew crew does it, is nobody is
36:33
the butt of the joke. It's
36:35
always gonna be just something fun like a kid
36:38
falling out of a basket of the truck
36:40
or off the roof, watching
36:42
a bunch of the kids run out in the yard with
36:44
diarrhea or whatever. Some people have said that the kids are
36:46
the victims of the pranks. Oh, what? I
36:48
know, I know, I know. But
36:50
the kids love it. I don't know if
36:52
you saw that one where I had my
36:55
four year old crouched down behind
36:58
my three year old, and then I pushed my
37:00
three year old over my four year old. Backwards.
37:03
Yeah. Oh, that is funny. Isn't
37:05
that funny? Yeah, this is good. And
37:07
he, well, he felt we had to take
37:09
him to the hospital cause it kind of
37:11
had concussion. Oh, okay. But we were laughing
37:13
all the way to the hospital. Oh, that's
37:16
one, and a family that laughs together. I'll
37:18
tell you what. And speaking
37:20
of online, have
37:22
you heard very much about this main character
37:24
syndrome people are getting diagnosed with, that they
37:26
think they're the star of a movie and
37:29
everyone in the world is just an extra
37:31
in their movie? I mean, have you ever
37:33
experienced anything like that? It sounds made up.
37:35
That sounds made up to me. No, I
37:38
mean, obviously, if we were in a movie, I
37:41
would be the main character of the pedigree crew just
37:43
because I've had the biggest falling for the longest time.
37:46
And I do remind everyone of that. Keep
37:49
your mouth shut, mommy's got the biggest falling. But at
37:51
the end of the day, just like New York
37:53
City is a character in every movie, the rest
37:56
of the crew, they're just as important. There
37:58
is no movie without New York City. Oh, yeah,
38:00
that's right. I guess most movies I've said in New York City
38:03
and even the ones that aren't New York City ends up being
38:05
Kind of a character in it anyway, doesn't it's always the
38:07
character in every single movie that I've ever seen New York
38:09
is character Well, and I like it
38:11
that you don't have separate accounts for
38:13
you kids Because as soon as
38:15
you start doing that as soon as you start
38:17
making it into you know An acapella go of
38:19
a bunch of different accounts. I'm going hey guys,
38:22
I don't know who to follow here from the
38:24
Pettigrew crew I'm not gonna follow every triplet right
38:26
and I'm definitely not gonna follow the twins And
38:29
so it's just like I like that you keep it all
38:31
under one roof. I love that too I just
38:33
think you know, first of all, if any of one
38:35
of them started their own account We would have a
38:38
conversation about that because I just don't know how I
38:40
feel about kids having their own accounts and stuff like
38:42
that That just doesn't sit right with me for them
38:44
to be on the internet like that Which obviously they
38:46
can do, you know, I let them have their internet
38:49
time on their iPod and iPads
38:51
and all that But no for
38:53
me, you know, you know, it's just most important
38:55
that we're all condensed. Yeah, right. We're a family
38:58
It's good to keep your kids offline because I
39:00
think you know how it has the rear-facing camera
39:03
Your phone can tell who's looking at the
39:05
screen and if they see if your phone
39:07
sees that it's an infant toddler Elementary
39:10
school-age kid it they pumped the porno to
39:12
them, you know, they want to get absolutely
39:14
started on the porno at an early age
39:16
And so you really just can't let kids
39:18
be scrolling around online because the next thing
39:20
you know They're they're
39:22
learning how to how to They
39:25
really are you know, yeah. Yeah. Thank you.
39:27
I couldn't say it. Oh And
39:30
Lally I guess but before we let you go I
39:32
did want to ask so there was
39:35
some controversy I guess with you know
39:37
people in your comments being like Is
39:40
she you know child trafficking
39:42
or whatever just because you've got
39:44
so many kids, right? So
39:47
so quickly, right? No,
39:49
clearly this lady is a lady that is is
39:52
probably at the forefront of stopping child trafficking
39:54
because she's taking a bunch of Kids that
39:56
people don't want But you
39:58
know, how did you deal with that? It was so
40:01
tragic really to get criticized
40:03
like that. Because every
40:06
day I am
40:08
getting back, you know, I'm really thinking about
40:11
all the children all the time. I mean, I've
40:13
been posting Save the Children since 2019. Wow,
40:18
a long time. I haven't
40:20
just I've just randomly been putting Save the Children.
40:23
Yeah, believe children believe in the children.
40:25
Right. We are the children. Yeah. We are
40:28
the world, you know. So to
40:30
me, it just was one of those things where
40:32
I thought, you know what, they're jealous. They're
40:34
so freaking jealous of this beautiful life I
40:37
put together with all 11 of my kids,
40:40
like hopscotch and
40:42
ceiling. Yeah. I'm sorry.
40:44
Oh, those are the names of the kids. I'm sorry.
40:46
Are we saying things from Bed Bath and beyond? No,
40:48
no, those are the names of the kids. Okay. So
40:51
creative. I love it. I absolutely love
40:53
it. Return. Return. Yeah. Now is that that one's got
40:57
to be one from the orphanage, right? In case you have a Yeah,
41:00
that one. Well, that one was because we tried to
41:02
return it, but they wouldn't take him back. So we
41:04
just thought return. I've always wondered that I didn't know
41:06
who to ask because I've returned a cat, you
41:09
know, to the, to the pound. But I thought
41:11
about that. Can you return a child once you've
41:13
adopted them? No, you can't. I mean,
41:15
I wish I knew that I had kids
41:18
because they have a great return. Great sales
41:20
right now. Right. To be honest
41:22
with you, I don't know that I would have gotten all
41:24
11. I think I would have
41:26
started smaller if I had known that
41:28
you couldn't return. And obviously I did
41:30
not read the fine print on
41:33
my marriage or on this.
41:36
So really the message to all
41:38
your listeners, I would just say always read the
41:41
fine print. Thank
41:47
you. Lally

42:25
news. A new Associated
42:27
Press report suggests that Bernie
42:29
Marino, a married man, has
42:31
been busted for trolling the
42:33
internet, seeking, quote, men for
42:35
one-on-one sex, looking for young
42:37
guys to have fun with
42:39
while traveling, end quote. A
42:41
leading conservative outlet called Marino's
42:43
conduct weird, creepy, unacceptable. But
42:45
this shouldn't be a surprise. Shadiness
42:47
is a pattern with Bernie Marino.
42:50
Remember, he was sued for stealing
42:52
wages from his own employees and
42:54
then shredded the evidence. You can
42:56
tell a lot about someone's character
42:58
by what he does when no
43:00
one's watching. Bernie Marino is damaged
43:03
goods. That's why the Democrats are
43:05
spending millions to prop up Marino
43:07
in the Republican primary so Sherrod
43:09
Brown can beat him in November.
