FIRST & FERAL X SHORT CREEK WIVES: Breaking Their Silence

Season 1

Thursday, October 1, 2026 • Duration 01:24:59

For the first time on First & Feral, Shandra and Marona Johnson sit down to share their firsthand experiences of life inside Short Creek and their marriages to Samuel Bateman.

In this raw and deeply personal conversation, the sisters open up about growing up in a world where obedience was expected and questioning could feel dangerous. Shandra shares her fear surrounding marriage, crying for hours beforehand, and the moment her father placed her hand in Samuel’s and told her she belonged to him.

Marona shares why she became afraid to question what was happening around her, what was expected of Samuel’s wives, and what life was like as more women and girls entered the family. They also discuss Samuel marrying seven of their sisters, with ages ranging from 9 to 22.

From plural marriage and family dynamics to faith, fear, control, and finding their voices — this is Shandra and Marona telling their experiences in their own words.

Thank you to both women for trusting us with their stories. 🧡

SLOMW Season 5 Recap: Taylor, DadTok & MomTok in Chaos

Season 1

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 01:08:31

Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was WILD — and Jordyn & Jess have eleven pages of notes and a lot of opinions. 😂

We’re breaking down the entire season: Taylor Frankie Paul coming straight out of The Bachelorette and immediately back into the Dakota/Ben/Doug chaos, the state of MomTok, DadTok drama, shifting friendships, Whitney’s Broadway era, Jen and Zac, Chase continuing to make questionable decisions, and the moments that had us genuinely asking… what just happened?!

We also get into something that felt especially different this season: these women live so much of their lives online that by the time the episodes aired, social media was already several chapters ahead. Did knowing what was happening in real time change the way we watched the season?

From the hilarious and cringey to the surprisingly dark moments, we’re talking about all of it — with plenty of side tangents and completely unfiltered opinions along the way.

What was YOUR biggest WTF moment of Season 5?

Follow First & Feral: Utah Unfiltered for more SLOMW recaps, Utah pop culture, reality TV and conversations that probably should’ve stayed in the group chat.

Alex shares his takes on Taylor Frankie Paul, MomTok, Jessi + Marciano, casting rumors, Dakota, Mormon culture, swinging, and the relationships everyone is talking about.

FIRST & FERAL X MAKENNA GIBBONS: The Other Side of the MomTok Swinging Scandal

Season 1

Thursday, September 3, 2026 • Duration 01:06:24

For years, Makenna Gibbons’ name has been connected to the MomTok swinging scandal—but most people have never heard the story from her perspective.

In this episode, Makenna sits down with Jordyn and Jessica to share her side in her own words.

She opens up about how she became part of the friend group, how the “soft swinging” began, the role alcohol played in blurring boundaries, and what she believes people have misunderstood about the timeline between the swinging and the affair that ultimately impacted her marriage.

Makenna also takes us inside what happened after everything became public: filing for divorce, suddenly having strangers dissect her life online, stepping away from social media, carrying guilt over the ripple effects, and trying to hold everything together for her young son.

But this conversation is about so much more than the scandal.

Makenna shares how therapy helped her rebuild, why she and Miranda became so close, how she created a healthy co-parenting relationship with her ex, what it was like learning to trust again, and how she found love and remarried.

And after staying mostly silent for years, she answers the question she hears constantly: Why tell your story now?

Because everyone deserves the chance to share their story—and their story still matters.

This is Makenna’s side. In her words.

FIRST & FERAL X KEATON HOSKINS: The Man Behind “The Muscle”

Season 1

Thursday, August 20, 2026 • Duration 01:13:31

You know Keaton Hoskins as “The Muscle” from Diesel Brothers. But you probably don’t know this version of him.

Keaton joins First & Feral for one of our most raw and unexpected conversations yet, taking us from the kid who barely graduated high school and ended up in jail to becoming a millionaire, building and buying 50+ businesses, starring on one of Discovery Channel’s biggest reality shows, and ultimately walking away from the version of himself everyone thought they knew.

And he holds NOTHING back.

Keaton opens up about the wild story that landed him in jail, serving an LDS mission, losing his dad at only 47, how Diesel Brothers really began, the truth about his relationship with Heavy D and Diesel Dave, and why reality TV was never where he made his real money.

Then we go deeper.

He takes full accountability for the breakdown of his first marriage , including being unfaithful and a workaholic and explains how divorce forced him to realize: “I’m the problem… but I’m also the solution.”

We also get into faith, fatherhood, money, confidence, scarcity vs. abundance, Limitless Society, and one of Keaton’s most controversial beliefs:

What if putting God first actually starts with putting YOURSELF first?

This isn’t just the story of “The Muscle.”

It’s Keaton Hoskins without the TV character , talking about failure, money, marriage, faith, fatherhood and becoming the person capable of building the life you actually want.

FIRST & FERAL x DR. TODD: What Your Face Reveals About You

Season 1

Thursday, June 25, 2026 • Duration 01:20:51

Can your face reveal your personality, health tendencies, and even parts of your past?

In this episode of First & Feral, we sit down with Dr. Todd Frisch, founder of Why The Face (WTF) and a retired physician who has spent years studying facial analysis.

Before recording, Dr. Todd completed facial analyses on both Jordyn and Jessica—and we intentionally didn't look at the results. For the first time, we're reviewing them live on air and reacting in real time.

What starts as a fun conversation quickly turns into a fascinating deep dive into personality traits, leadership styles, family dynamics, emotional patterns, health indicators, and the stories our faces may be telling without us even realizing it.

We talk about:
• Why Dr. Todd immediately knew we were sisters
• The 9 face shapes and what they reveal
• Leadership, communication, and personality traits
• Family relationships and childhood influences
• Health markers that may show up in facial features
• Trauma, stress, and emotional patterns
• The connection between facial analysis and self-awareness
• Whether our results were surprisingly accurate

This episode had us laughing, questioning everything, and more than once looking at each other thinking, "How could he possibly know that?"
