So many exciting announcements to get into. We are all at the household wearing merch. That's right. A thousand episodes later, six years later.
We finally have merch that we are proud of over the years. If you've been with us since the beginning, we've dabbled in the merch department. But here at the Vile Files, at Envy Media, the household cares about quality. We care about what we put on our bodies. We care about, like, it has to be good. We want to believe in it. And we finally have merch that we... Love. It's comfortable. It's cozy.
It looks good. Natalie put a lot of heart and sweat and thought into this. She hired a graphic designer who works on like music albums. You know, the person who did our logo for the Vile Files Media. It is rocking and rolling. The merch goes on sale on Thursday. Join our countdown for the launch of our merch.

Chapter 3: What are the key details about the Hulu series featuring Mandy Matney?
You're saying it wrong. Excuse me, I have pieces from Zara. I was just saying you were saying Zara's. Yeah, y'all were making it plural. Justin does make most things plural, if you'll notice.
I love that about him.
It's my dialect, okay? I love that about him. When he wants to say women, he says woman.
No, I'm saying it with an A. I just pronounce it with an E. I visualize the A. A woman.
It's like when he describes someone who was a social worker as working in socials.
That was a joke, though.
Well, the hot tub and the sauna are in at the lake house. And it's giving spa. It's giving cozy. It really is. I get to sit fireplace, sauna, hot tub.
I will say best place ever is in a hot tub when it's cold. Like when it's snowing.

Chapter 5: What implications arise from the comments about Vicky Gunvalson?
Well, you literally were recording Vicky and it was about her. But what? And he's like, you just dropped two right now. It's like it was two years ago. And he's like, that is the point.
No, she literally insinuated that Vicky Gunnelson was part of a potential domestic situation. Yeah.
Yeah.
Chapter 6: How do the hosts perceive Tamra's behavior and hypocrisy?
And it's like so damaging that like Tamra, the hypocrisy that Tamra can just and she just doesn't see it. It's crazy.
Do we really think she doesn't see it?
I don't think when when Andy said that and she responded with the way that she did. I don't think she in any way thought she was proving his point.
Chapter 7: What insights does Mandy Matney share about her involvement in the Murdaugh case?
It kind of reminds me of like, you know, sometimes when you I don't know if this is happened to me of like when you're kind of in like spiral mode. And you don't realize how much you're talking about something until your friends like shake your shoulders and they're like, shut up about it.
Yes. All the time.
Yeah.
She literally doesn't think that she says anything wrong about people. And then she goes on like a two minute tirade about like how they're fucked up. And then it's like, when did I do that?
Yeah.
Sorry, I was mad. Yeah, that.

Chapter 8: What are the key takeaways from the discussion about the Murdoch family dynamics?
Sorry, I was mad. I don't I don't I'm not responsible for what I said when I was angry at you and throwing all of your secrets out to the public.
And that only works when it's coming from Angie Katzenavis.
Do you think, babe, like who, because we've hung out with Tamara. Well, you've hung out with Tamara. We had Tamara on the show. We spent some time with Shannon. When I watch this show, it's like, I don't feel particularly safe if potentially hanging around Tamara, but I really enjoyed Tamara's company in real life.
That's what's confusing about it is that like, yeah, she is a lovely human being in person. And maybe at the end of the day, No, I was about to say, maybe that's all that matters. But like, no, because she gets on this show and she spews people's rumors and stories and past and like in a dangerous way and in a reckless way. And like, you know, she, you know, she makes great television.
I think she, you know, is entertaining to watch. But when you really break it down, like she is not a good friend. I would not trust her with anything. And like...
Yeah. I also don't get Tamra like getting so defensive when all the women were like Tamra's the one I would least trust. It's like, well, there's they have their reasons and like Tamra's mad at them for justifiable reasons.
Well, she actually handled that quite well when Heather was like, this is why. And she was like, okay, I'll work on that.
Well, there she handled it well.
Well, it's like she'll do it with Heather.
