Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's episode of The Scoop.
00:00:06.660
So for those of you who don't know, The Scoop is kind of our weekly catch-up girl chat.
00:00:11.760
It's as if we're going to a coffee shop together and we're just kind of catching up on what
00:00:15.720
went down during the week, what was in the news, what we've been up to, all of that kind
00:00:20.520
So I'm really excited to get into today's episode because I have so much to talk about.
00:00:26.320
I just put on perfume because after this video my husband and I are going to dinner
00:00:30.480
and if you guys are interested at some point for me to do kind of like a tour of my background,
00:00:35.060
all of the things that are back here and what it all means to me, let me know because I've
00:00:39.180
been thinking about doing something like that and talking about kind of what I have in my
00:00:43.140
background, where I got everything, and if that's something you guys are interested in
00:00:49.300
So the first thing I want to talk about is something that is not really appropriate and
00:00:56.420
So the first thing I want to mention is the new music video and song, WAP.
00:01:05.760
If you're interested in looking that up, you can.
00:01:14.260
So I heard about it through Twitter, mostly because my brother did a censored reading of
00:01:20.520
some of the lyrics on his show and I respected him for that because personally I would have
00:01:27.420
I would not debase myself by reading those disgusting lyrics uncensored.
00:01:31.620
So he chose to read it censored and it kind of blew up on Twitter and because of that and
00:01:36.120
because of his show I looked at it a little bit and I was not impressed.
00:01:41.440
Let me just say that to me that video was pretty much the epitome of everything I'm
00:01:50.360
It definitely is more about that female empowerment that is not empowering at all and just puts
00:01:56.200
you out there to be a sex object for people to look at.
00:01:59.780
And the fact of the matter is that video was pornographic and it is available on YouTube
00:02:07.760
And that is obviously something that I as a conservative am really, really against.
00:02:12.880
And I see it as the degradation of women that we think that that is our value to sing about
00:02:19.560
this very sexual, horribly written lyrics to be honest.
00:02:24.720
I mean every time I listen to it I get a little nauseous and also it's not really music.
00:02:32.700
So that's also an issue but outside of the technical aspects, it also is just a very clear
00:02:39.120
example to me of how conservative women need to take the culture back because if this is
00:02:44.980
what is considered female empowerment, we have really lost our way.
00:02:48.800
Female empowerment is not about presenting ourselves as sex objects and being a slave to
00:02:57.200
It's about living your life with values, having a meaning, having purpose, being part
00:03:02.080
of a community, having faith, being part of a family.
00:03:10.260
So I'm not going to tell you to go look it up but if you already know what it is I'd like
00:03:18.460
Next up I want to talk about summertime and some of my favorite summer activities.
00:03:23.000
So the last month or so, Jacob and I have really started to embrace summer.
00:03:27.700
Things have started to open up more in Omaha and we've really just taken advantage of the
00:03:32.500
warm weather and the evenings and oh my gosh, you guys know summer is my absolute favorite
00:03:38.840
So I have been so excited to absolutely take advantage of the rest of summer and we've
00:03:43.920
been doing a few different things that have just made it feel like summer vacation which
00:03:49.420
So the first thing we've been doing is going to the zoo.
00:03:56.080
For some reason this is something we didn't know when we met but then when we got married
00:04:00.020
we started going to zoos together and realized that both of us love the zoo so much.
00:04:04.700
Like it's one of our favorite dates and here in Omaha they do an event called Late Nights
00:04:09.280
at the Zoo where you can go, they'll give you a little drink ticket and they have food
00:04:14.480
trucks and also you can go and see all the animals and it is just so much fun.
00:04:21.460
I am a happy camper because it is hot in the evenings here which means I don't have to bring
00:04:33.400
And we actually got to see a whole section of the zoo that we hadn't had an opportunity
00:04:41.200
You're seeing all of these animals that are just incredible to look at and I just love it.
00:04:46.480
So if you have a zoo in your area let me know, is it a zoo that you enjoy going to?
00:04:55.880
I love the zoo so I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on that.
00:04:59.800
And of course the other thing that we've been doing now that things have started to open
00:05:08.140
Jacob and I also love going to the pool together.
00:05:12.080
I actually kind of like public pools because it's so fun to see kids having a great time
00:05:17.400
It always makes me think of the sand lot and you just get to see families having fun together
00:05:22.040
and it's just the epitome of summertime is going to the pool, sitting outside, then dunking
00:05:27.500
in the water when it gets too hot and reading and all of that and I have just loved it.
00:05:32.980
So I have been talking a lot on my channel lately about beachwear and swimwear and modesty
00:05:38.460
so I've been trying to take advantage of this opportunity now that the pool is open to wear
00:05:46.640
So if you have a pool, let me know, are you a pool person?
00:05:51.020
I'm not a strong swimmer, I would say I'm like a weak-ish swimmer.
00:05:54.540
I can swim, I'm just not great at it, but I love swimming.
00:05:57.960
So if you're somebody who also loves going to the pool or if you have to choose the pool,
00:06:08.200
Maybe the pool because I like the cleanliness of the pool a little bit more than the beach
00:06:12.820
and I like that you can sit outside and not get sand in every corner of you.
00:06:17.860
So I think I enjoy the pool more, but I'm not going to turn away the beach.
00:06:22.540
I mean, if I can go to the beach, I'll go to the beach.
00:06:24.880
So it's not like it's a problem, but I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on that too.
00:06:29.980
Next up, I wanted to talk about a couple of things that I learned this week.
00:06:32.980
So I ran out to Target the other day to run some errands and I just had this feeling that
00:06:39.860
And I feel like magazines are really outdated and passe, but I personally love magazines
00:06:45.760
and I really don't let myself splurge on them, even though they're not very expensive.
00:06:51.640
The experience of reading a magazine is kind of a special one.
00:06:55.980
You get to read something that's not like heavy material, but it's still reading.
00:07:05.200
And that kind of made me realize that it's okay sometimes to make little splurges on something
00:07:12.340
If it's a $5 magazine that's just going to put you in a nice frame of mind that you can
00:07:16.920
read and it makes you feel like you're doing something slightly more productive than being
00:07:20.660
on your phone but maybe isn't as serious as reading a book, then why not actually just
00:07:26.800
Magazines I think are really classic a lot of the time.
00:07:32.000
I used to read more of the fashion magazines, but I'm going to be honest, a lot of them have
00:07:35.900
really leftist articles and so many of their fashion advice articles are not modest enough
00:07:42.940
So I really can't find inspiration in them as much as I used to.
00:07:46.780
And so I don't really have the best time reading fashion magazines.
00:07:50.100
So reading the home magazines that also generally have some beauty and fashion things in them,
00:07:54.840
but that are a little bit more on the modest side because I think they're probably for women
00:07:57.640
who are a bit older, I actually really enjoy it and it just makes me really happy.
00:08:02.280
So if you have something like that, if you want to read a magazine and it's only $5,
00:08:06.860
maybe if you have it in your budget, say, it's okay.
00:08:10.020
I can spend that $5 even though it's not something I'm going to keep forever.
00:08:13.500
I can spend it on this small thing for the experience and that's okay.
00:08:17.800
And that was just a nice lesson for me to learn this week.
00:08:19.900
Another thing I was thinking about this week was that I had a great phone call with a
00:08:24.640
She actually reached out to me and asked if we could just have a phone call and chat.
00:08:29.640
And she is not really conservative, but she is a really deep thinker and she and I had
00:08:36.580
the best conversation and I had the best time on the phone with her.
00:08:41.060
We were on the phone for two hours and it really wasn't supposed to be a two-hour call,
00:08:45.300
but it just ended up being a two-hour call and we had the best conversation.
00:08:49.800
And it's so nice when you can have those really fruitful conversations that give you
00:08:54.800
kind of a perspective on things that you didn't necessarily have before, especially when you
00:08:58.720
guys do have different viewpoints and perspectives.
00:09:01.020
That respect is going to make those conversations so nice and useful and I am so glad I did that.
00:09:07.020
So that's why I'm constantly saying on my channel, it's not that we can't talk to people who
00:09:13.160
We all just need to be respectful towards each other so that we can see if there's any middle
00:09:18.640
ground and maybe we can change each other's minds for the better.
00:09:21.940
So that was just a really good reminder this week and I'm so glad that we had that call.
00:09:26.520
Next up, let's talk about what I've been reading and watching.
00:09:29.520
So what I have been reading lately is The Splendid and the Vile by Eric Larson.
00:09:34.280
So Eric Larson is one of my absolute favorite authors.
00:09:36.820
He wrote The Devil in the White City, which I loved that book.
00:09:41.960
And he also wrote a few other books, one about the Marconi Telegraph.
00:09:45.660
One is called In the Garden of Beasts, I think, and I just really like his writing because
00:09:50.460
what he does is he writes history as if it were fiction.
00:09:54.400
And it's not that he's saying anything that's untrue.
00:09:57.460
But he's just such a good writer that it really does feel like you're reading a novel.
00:10:02.360
He uses letters and transcripts to make it seem like there's dialogue almost, which makes
00:10:08.280
history so much easier to read, at least for me.
00:10:11.220
And so this book is about Churchill during World War II and it's fascinating.
00:10:17.360
The first chapter or two was a little bit hard for me to get into, but now I'm really, really
00:10:23.860
I'm learning all about really what happened at the beginning of the war and how Churchill
00:10:30.440
He is an incredible man and he worked so hard to protect his country.
00:10:35.800
He was a servant to his country and it is amazing to read.
00:10:42.000
If you've read Eric Larson, any of his books, let me know in the comments because I love talking
00:10:48.080
It is my favorite, so leave it in the comments.
00:10:51.560
And then as far as what I've been watching, Jacob really likes action movies and sci-fi,
00:10:56.600
so he has been choosing some of the movies we've been watching lately.
00:10:59.660
So we've been watching both The Terminators, Terminator 1 and Terminator 2, and we watched
00:11:07.500
I think we might do a movie review on The Matrix because we disagree about that film.
00:11:15.240
I won't give away which one of us likes it and which one of us doesn't, but we did have
00:11:22.640
So it was just an interesting situation to discuss it and see what we both thought of
00:11:28.060
But I will tell you a little bit about the Terminator movies.
00:11:30.400
So the first Terminator is actually a really good movie and the trivia on it is so interesting.
00:11:37.700
The whole thing came out of a dream that James Cameron had about this kind of metal skeleton
00:11:45.100
And so he built the entire story around that dream, which is crazy to think about.
00:11:51.000
There is one sex scene, so that's my one warning.
00:11:53.620
I'm not super disturbed by the violence in that film, but I know that some people are
00:11:57.540
more sensitive to that than others, so I was not super bothered by it.
00:12:01.140
But if you are sensitive to violence, of course, be careful.
00:12:12.620
I don't think that the premise is that deep, but I really like it as an action movie.
00:12:21.080
And the fact of the matter is the performances that everyone puts in are really really good.
00:12:25.140
So if you're into action movies, if you have a boyfriend or a husband who wants to
00:12:29.140
watch an action movie and you're interested in action movies too, then I would recommend
00:12:33.440
watching Terminator 1 and 2, I've heard the rest of the Terminators are a little bit crazy
00:12:37.840
and just start messing with the timeline, which is not my favorite thing, but the first two
00:12:43.620
So if you've seen those, let me know in the comments.
00:12:45.960
I'd love to discuss that with you and see your guys' thoughts too, because I love hearing
00:12:52.260
And the last thing that I wanted to say is that my husband bought me this gorgeous necklace.
00:12:58.980
I have talked about that star choker that I bought on Amazon quite a bit on my channel,
00:13:03.420
and I wore that choker and basically ruined it because I wore it into water way too many
00:13:08.440
And I told my husband that I was sad that I had to throw that choker away because I really,
00:13:14.640
So he bought me a more expensive version of that necklace to celebrate me hitting 50,000
00:13:22.480
So it was really, really sweet of him, and I absolutely love it, and I can't wait to
00:13:25.880
wear it for the rest of the summer, let alone forever.
00:13:29.840
And I just also really wanted to thank you guys for 50,000 subscribers here on my channel.
00:13:35.120
I love that we are creating a community for conservative women.
00:13:38.540
It means so much to me, and I'm just so excited that we're really creating the Classic Crew
00:13:44.720
But that's it for this week's episode of The Scoop.
