The Salty hoes became the sweaty hoes when they took a Feral Friday class at Ritual Hot Yoga with the amazing owner, Emily.The episode uses yoga to discuss Mormonism’s historical suspicion of “Eastern” practices, shifting church attitudes (including a missionary-focused four-week yoga guide), and broader themes of bodily intuition versus authoritarian spirituality, plus cultural appropriation, commercialization, and “Mormon Channel” reframing of yoga concepts (sun salutations, pranayama) into Christian doctrine.

This week Mel and Claire come to the tough realization that they're clearly just too picky. Here is a whole buffet of amazing dating profiles to choose from. Follow along and let us know which of these eminently date-able men to pick!

Bro, Do You Even LooksMaxx?Mel and Claire (The Salty Hoes) return to their discussion about beauty standards, focusing on the resurgence of skinny culture reminiscent of 1990s “heroin chic,” the role of expensive GLP-1/GIP-1 drugs as both weight-loss tool and class flex, and how diet trends become moralized through “clean eating,” gluten-free virtue signaling bs, and protein obsession. They argue that health and pleasure get lost amid anxiety, shame, and late-stage capitalism marketing, and emphasize moderation, movement for health, and rejecting weight-as-virtue. They discuss cosmetic standards beyond Utah plastic surgery, especially teeth and veneers, and detail their own monthly beauty spending and time commitments, contrasting it with Heather Gay’s reported $200,000 in procedures. Shifting to men, they cover influencer “Clavicular” and looksmaxing/“mogging,” including bone-smashing, testosterone and meth use, a livestream overdose, and broader dangers of internet-driven medical advice.00:00 Welcome Back, Salty Hoes00:53 Beauty Standards Return04:00 Skinny Culture Cycles07:59 Ozempic Class Flex12:15 Food Morality Myths14:14 Gluten Free Virtue15:46 CrossFit Clean Eating27:14 Pleasure In Food31:14 Protein Trend Backlash36:02 Cosmetic Standards Beyond Weight37:11 Teeth As Beauty Standard41:27 Veneers And Health Tradeoffs44:25 Beauty Expectations and Status45:19 The Beauty Industry in Billions46:45 Routines That Feel Toxic49:32 Monthly Beauty Budget Breakdown54:57 Time and Mental Load58:30 Second Budget and Product Hacks01:05:45 Reality TV Beauty Spending01:07:39 Looksmaxing and the Manosphere01:13:57 Internet Health Advice Dangers01:21:32 Healthmax and Final Takeaways

Receipts. Proof. Timeline. Screenshots: RH of Rhode Island S1E5 Reality RecapMel and Claire (“the Salty Hoes”) recap The Real Housewives of Rhode Island S1E5, “Receipts. Proof. Timeline. Screenshots." starting with the women recovering from the rail-drinking fight as Alicia, Joellen, and Liz debrief and Alicia half-regrets calling Rosie a “whore.” At Kelsey’s sugar daddy’s 16,000-square-foot house, she cuts influencer Ashley’s hair, mentions a breakup rumor, and complains Rosie didn’t post her work, sparking a boat confrontation at Jack’s birthday. Liz and Jerry sell a sport-fishing boat, hinting at possible shady connections amid Dino’s drug-trafficking charges. The episode peaks when Joellen shows Rula screenshots proving Brian’s ongoing affair; Rula claims the texts could be AI and insists he’s “at the gym.” At a polo outing, Brian fakes a hospital emergency, is clocked missing his wedding ring, and Joellen tracks a timeline as the mistress posts from Brian’s car, leading to a chaotic on-camera blowup and Joellen’s theory that Brian wants Rula to leave him.00:00 Podcast Cold Open00:44 Reality Recap Setup01:52 Aftermath at Alicia's04:11 Joellen and Rula Drama05:36 Alicia's Whore Comment07:26 Kelsey's Mansion Salon08:31 Sugar Daddy Rumor15:06 Influencer Hair Chat16:29 Rosie Instagram Snub18:37 Boat Party Blowup23:26 Tears and Birthday Shade24:23 Liz and Jerry Boat Goodbye26:11 Boat Exit Fallout26:39 Joellen Meets Rula28:47 AI Text Denial29:34 Gym Line Iconic32:03 Polo Bus Setup34:32 Hospital Excuse Unravels38:17 Polo Day Arrivals40:40 Wedding Ring Caught42:38 Mistress Posts Proof45:26 Brian Flees Cameras49:18 Humiliation Theory51:42 Ratings And Wrap

The Droopy Mic, getting off the David Bus, and the Male Laziness Epidemic.Mel and Claire (The Salty Hoes) riff on a droopy “flaccid” microphone, then trade bleakly funny dating-app stories: a man who unmatched after Mel shared an interesting shark story, and another who endlessly outsourced planning a simple drink date, prompting Mel to unmatch him after he complained she wasn’t making it easy. The conversation broadens into decision fatigue, “feminine energy” expectations, and weaponized incompetence, arguing men often avoid mental and domestic labor while wanting women to both earn money and provide caretaking. They cite a 2024 report that working women do about twice the combined childcare/housework of working men, with lower-educated working mothers doing triple. Skeptical of evolutionary psychology claims by David Buss, they counter with evidence that women hunted in 80% of studied subsistence societies, plus examples of female cave artists and female hunters in burials. They close with a joke about “lady doctor” pay-gap logic and a plea for men to wash their sheets and underwear.00:00 Podcast Welcome Back00:38 Droopy Mic Banter01:24 Coffee Shop Hot Guys01:52 Dating Apps Return02:27 Shark Fear Unmatch05:24 The Non Planning Date09:52 Male Laziness Debate14:42 Housework Stats Reality18:53 Contradictory Expectations23:29 Manosphere And Femsphere25:33 Evolutionary Psych Skepticism32:20 David Buss Energetics34:56 Parental Investment Pushback36:12 Energy Efficiency Confusion36:58 Ancient Humans and Labor39:12 Hormones and Gender Myths40:31 Women Hunters Evidence41:24 Cave Art Was Women47:29 Graves and Bias Exposed50:58 Beauty Standards Shift53:23 Violence Justified as Biology55:39 Chimpanzees vs Bonobos01:00:21 Cleanliness and Socialization01:06:07 Weaponized Incompetence01:07:59 Ask Better Questions01:10:01 Lady Doctor Punchline01:11:13 Wrap Up and Wash Sheets

Join Mel and Claire as they recap RHoRI season 1 episode 4. The Real Housewives of Rhode Island are still reeling from the disco party slash blowup. We join the ladies as they grudgingly film on a peasant beach rather than a posh private beach club and we learn about pizza chips. Pizza without the cheese? Rhode Island is certainly on the bleeding edge of culinary innovation! We also watch them try and juggle pedaling bikes on a railroad while mixing and guzzling cocktails. And of course, we have fights! Can't be a RHoRI episode without fights!

Stripper Juice Hangover Meets Angel Woo-Woo NightClaire and Mel (“The Salty Hoes”) record on a Saturday morning after Claire hosted Mel’s bubble dogs-themed birthday party featuring “Stripper Juice,” hot dogs, and desserts from Mel’s sister, though Claire forgot the caviar. They recap an outing to an “Angel Woo Woo” event with MomTok diva Jessi Draper from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, a smug channeler/psychic, and Marciano, where attendees wore white while the Salty Hoes accidentally wore black, and a “dirty soda” line horrified them. Mel, skeptical of the supernatural, argues that woo-woo can prompt self-reflection but becomes predatory when sold as medical cures, citing examples like acupuncture research, supplements, vitamins, and folic acid. They praise Jessie’s authenticity, note Jessie and Marciano didn’t seem “casual,” condemn the psychic’s flippant claims about dead loved ones, shout out a considerate extra-tall man, and end by encouraging self-trust, friendships, and healthy coping post-divorce.00:00 Meet The Salty Hoes00:37 Birthday Hangover Recap01:44 Bubble Dogs Party Theme02:38 Family Praise And Cupcakes05:37 Hosting And Hot Dog Plans07:31 Jet Lag And Yoga Morning08:29 Angel Woo Woo Night Out10:09 What Is Angel Cards13:03 Skepticism And Self Reflection16:22 Kumare And Guru Culture20:42 Acupuncture And Placebo Effects24:25 Toxic Wellness And Cancer Claims30:50 Supplements And Vitamin Myths32:46 Vitamin D And Folic Acid36:07 Event Setting And Dress Code38:25 Jesse And Marciano Gossip39:26 Jesse Wins the Crowd40:25 Marciano Arrives in Style40:58 Vanderpump Talk and Restaurants47:00 Are They Really Casual49:30 Leaving Early and Sweet Treats49:46 Post Divorce Whiplash Explained52:56 Mormon Culture and Fast Remarriage58:15 Psychic Reading Red Flags01:06:50 Rating the Night and Tall Guy Hero01:10:16 Woo Woo TV and Coping Tools01:12:42 Self Trust and Closing Thought

The Salty Hoes are back with another reality recap! Real Housewives of Rhode Island continues to be absolutely jaw-dropping television. This week, we meet Liz's special friend/alleged mobster Dino, Kelsey's other boyfriend Bill, and Alicia's totally not creepy doll collection. There are a lot of them! We also have a showdown at Gerry's disco-themed birthday party and learn that going down to the seawall is the best way to prove to everyone you're not having an affair. The Ocean State continues to deliver!

The Salty Hoes reunite after Mel’s vacation to wish Mel a happy birthday. Mel recaps her birthday present to herself: a scuba trip with Neptune Divers to Chuuk Lagoon, Micronesia. What happens when two professors talk about a vacation? You get to hear all kinds of rambling about obscure World War II facts, how Americans and British frame history, inappropriate children's television shows, pirates, why more Americans don't have passports, and why you should give diving a try.

Hot Men in the Wild vs. Unvaxxed Sperm BitcoinMel and Claire return as The Salty Hoes for a “Salty Bite” rant on online dating, with Claire declaring the apps “f@#king” awful and recommits to singlehood ... until they walk into their usual coffee shop and find a freakishly concentrated pack of wholesome, age-appropriate, mid-50s hot men, inspiring brief hope that meeting someone “in the wild” might still exist. They recap bailing on a speed-dating event due to jet lag and low expectations, then roast Bumble profiles: John whose entire bio is “I’m not vaccinated,” Larry who posts a sign claiming “Unvaxxed sperm is the next Bitcoin” and demands “Non-brainwashed,” Dave who calls tattooed/pierced women “mentally weak,” and Chase, a comma-chaos misogynist who rants about “boss women,” “sexual marketplace value,” and fish photos as a filter. They close by joking about the “Three Nephites.” 00:00 Salty Hos Intro00:37 Done With Apps01:54 Hot Guys Coffee Shop04:20 Meet Them In Wild04:42 Speed Dating Bailout06:23 Dumpster Fire Profiles06:33 Unvaxxed Bio John08:39 Typhoid Larry Profile11:00 Roasting Dave’s Bio12:29 Dad Duty Ick14:53 Low Bar Pride Points15:53 One More Humdinger15:59 Chase’s Comma Chaos17:57 Sexual Marketplace Rant19:24 Manosphere Buzzwords20:38 Three Nephites Callback21:10 Stay Salty Signoff

Dirty Soda, True Tea, and Brigham’s Bar: A Salty Dive into the Word of Wisdom.Mel and Claire (The Salty Hoes) catch up on a spa visit with Paulina at Spa Day, praising her Moonshine Versus Milk skincare line, then pivot to Mormon dietary rules inspired by “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and dirty soda culture. They unpack the Word of Wisdom’s origins (Joseph Smith’s 1833 revelation, later formalized in 1852) and note it wasn’t consistently enforced until the early 1900s, with temple recommend requirements starting in 1921. Early leaders even drank coffee, tea, beer, and used wine for sacrament, and Brigham Young owned a bar. Reading Doctrine and Covenants 89, they discuss bans on alcohol, tobacco, and “hot drinks” (officially coffee and tea, not cocoa or herbal tea), caffeine debates, and the often-ignored instruction to eat meat sparingly and mainly in winter or famine, alongside health, anxiety, and virtue-signaling themes.00:00 Meet The Salty Hoes00:45 Spa Day With Paulina02:56 Beauty Standards Catchup05:36 Dirty Soda Culture08:56 No Coffee No Tea09:46 Word of Wisdom Origins13:53 Early Mormon Drinking17:57 Close Reading Begins19:41 Alcohol Rules Explained28:11 Tobacco Verse Breakdown32:20 Nicotine Brain Effects37:10 Smoking Genetics And Shame39:16 Compassion Over Shame40:22 Pray Away Myths41:24 Hot Drinks Debate42:17 Kombucha Chai Loopholes44:59 Hot Drinks History45:44 Ulcer Science Story49:41 Coffee Tea Health Data52:41 Pregnancy Body Trust57:42 Dirty Soda Caffeine Wars01:03:56 Mormon Tea 01:05:39 Meat Sparingly Verses01:09:41 Stewardship And Climate01:14:47 Promises Scrupulosity01:19:23 Wrap Up And Farewell

Men are just so logical, aren't they? They simply exist in all of their logical glory, above the fray of those pesky feminine emotions. Their stoicism and serene self-regulation is an example to us all. OR IS IT?

Are you a mom? Do you have a mom? If the answer to either question is yes, you'll want to tune in to this episode. Claire and Mel discuss birth stories, miscarriage, motherhood, grief, paranoia, raising children in and out of the Mormon church, and peeing. Join us for a funny, heartwarming, and occasionally explicit conversation about all things mom.
