With season 2 of the beloved reality television series recently hitting Hulu and Disney Plus, our favorite #MomTok members have stopped by numerous podcasts and media outlets to spill behind-the-scenes secrets about the show we know and love. Recently, Layla and Jessi stopped by the Page Six studio foran episode of the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast— hosted by Danny Murphy and Evan Real — to discuss all thingsThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, including plastic surgery. Kicking off the conversation, Evan touched onThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' ability to break the stigma surrounding plastic surgery, admitting that — based on a previous conversation he had with Layla over Zoom — he was inspired to get a nose job and a lower blepharoplasty surgery, with plans to get veneers next month. Although Layla was very supportive of Evan's decisions surrounding his aesthetics, she spilled that she might be toning back her own plastic surgery. "I might be taking my implants out... I just feel like for my frame, I would either go smaller, or I would just take them all together. I just feel like for my frame, they're just always there, and it's not a bad thing, but like sometimes I wanna wear a sports bra and not look like a hoochie mama," she admitted. Needless to say, we will be keeping up with Layla on Instagram,@laylaleannetaylor, to see if she follows through with these plans. In the meantime, reality television lovers may stream seasons 1 and 2 ofThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesvia Hulu or Disney Plus.

For eyes only: Mets, Dodgers puzzled by visual obstruction call that gave New York a run

For eyes only: Mets, Dodgers puzzled by visual obstruction call that gave New York a run

NEW YORK (AP) — Max Muncy couldn't believe his eyes when umpire Tripp Gibson called visual obstruction on the Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman, giving the New York Mets a run. "It's just a unique play that doesn't usually happen," Muncy said Saturday, a day afterthe Dodgers' 7-5, 13-inning winin a rematch oflast year's NL Championship Series. With Los Angeles leading 3-1 in the fourth inning, Pete Alonso hit a 252-foot fly to Teoscar Hernández. The right fielder made a 91.6 mph throw on the fly to catcher Will Smith, who tagged the sliding Marte as plate umpire Ryan Blakney signaled out. Third base umpire Gibson called obstruction on Muncy, who was standing where the dirt met the infield grass, forblocking Marte's viewof Hernández making the catch. Marte was ruled safe. "For me on that play you have to be in the area because if he runs halfway and stops and the first baseman cuts it, you have to be at the bag to go to make a play," Muncy said. "It's not one of these things where in my head I was like: I've got to block his view. No, that wasn't it. It was just you're walking forward and you're paying attention to the play and you just happened to be in his way." Gibson made a similar call in the 13th inning on Mets third baseman Brett Baty for obstructing Hernández's view of Andy Pages' fly to right fielder Juan Soto. That call got less attention because Soto threw to first to double up Hyeseong Kim as Hernández crossed the plate for a two-run lead. "Never seen it," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "Two times in one game, two times too many." Major League Baseball said the call was type two obstruction under rule 6.01 (h). Muncy spoke with Gibson about his decision. "He said I was too intentional about getting in his way," Muncy recalled. "My fightback was I'm 10 feet away from the bag. If I'm standing right next to him, it's obviously obstruction, but I'm 10 feet away from the bag. There's no way that I could be blocking that view. He said: 'You have no business being in this area.' And I said: 'Well, if he cuts the ball, I've got to be there to make a play,' and he didn't have anything to say about that." Mets manager Carlos Mendoza also was surprised. "That's something that we're going to have to follow up," he said. "I've never seen this play being called like that. Honestly, as a former infielder, I did it a lot." ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
