[@isadorasmiles9339]

And a desi and Katy podcast😍😍

[@jessicamller]

Best friends episode 😍

[@leelee2925]

[@usamakhan3553]

Now we need Katy and Desi together on one episode!!! ❤

[@mrs.Smokie_mc_doob]

Yessss it would be so good!! I also wondered if she was on that specific brand trip that desi was talking about and how great it woulda been to hear her input if she was there

[@rosalynariaz7495]

The whole squad would be amazing 🤍

[@kristinapentecost4012]

we also need Desi and her man together on here

[@MostlyBeauty]

1000000% agree! Omg that would be a squad reunion type of “we need”

[@MannyMua733]

ANOTHER ICONIC GUEST BB!!!!!!!

[@ashlyhawkenson5803]

Now bring Katy!!!!!!!!

[@samiishh]

@@ashlyhawkenson5803 katy was already on the pod! She was one of their first guests I believe. Loved her episode

[@gerardomvrtinez5523]

Chulo remind yourself you’re attracting and not chasing!

[@jessicamller]

😍😍😍

[@shay0912]

You should look more into the bill. The VPN stuff is particularly interesting. Loved y'alls energy this episode😆 Plz touch on the Catfishing situation, this upcoming Friday🤞🏽💅🏾🥸 Thanks for the content💚

[@sna507]

Omgosh you should have Laura's sister on the podcast. Talk about her Journey. I feel like that would touch so many people and inspire so many and be very relatable ❤

[@kellyjean3973]

Yes! She would be a great guest. She has the support of Laura’s followers behind her and I would love to hear more about her story and how she’s doing now. She’s gorgeous too!

[@mrs.Smokie_mc_doob]

Agreed!

You should look more into the bill. The VPN stuff is particularly interesting. Loved y'alls energy this episode😆 Cannot wait to hear ur thoughts on the Catfishing situation🧐 Thanks for the content💚

[@mvpisland3]

Minim isn’t listed on the drop down list

[@CiscoXavier1]

She’s an icon and forever the moment… Desi’s the first KZbinr for me, that made the transition of beauty influencer to lifestyle guru look so effortless🔥🔥🔥 I mean SHE put Quay Australia on the map with the sunglasses 🕶️ collaboration she had with them, no disrespect to Chrisspy and the other OG Beauty Influencers but Desi is that woman 👏🏽💙

[@JenniferJayneJ]

You stole the words right out of my mouth! So very wonderfully said, Cisco. ❤️🙏🏽 I thought these exact same things, and while reading your lovely comment, it brought me back to her earlier years on KZbin and what an era that was for the beauty community. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts- 🥰

[@Hiiiitay]

Literally put them on the map😹

[@NiniSweets]

Dezi is so attentive to others in conversations. She's a great listener & this episode has good energy. She needs her own podcast.

[@samhamdan618]

Desi is THE definition of a girl/mom boss!! 💕

[@rachelnoel323]

I so relate to Laura I’m 33 happily married & never have felt like I want kids & the older I get the more I feel that way!

[@laurac86]

Me too! I’m not married, but it was awesome to hear somebody say they don’t think they want kids just like me. Granted I am getting to the age where kids may not even be possible if I changed my mind but I’m okay with it!!!

[@adorkablexone]

OMGG CAN YOU PLEASE DO A BFF Episode with both Desi & Katyy?? love you guys!!

[@danielaorozco7243]

Love how Desi carries herself 🫶

[@samijones2415]

WHAT AN ICONIC GUEST. I’ve never been more excited to click on a video 😍😍❤

[@branddevine]

Laura: “I need to write that down or I will forget” as she’s being recorded 😂❤️

[@foolcoveragepodcast]

💀🤣👀

[@katemorales102]

I feel you Manny. I find myself crying thinking about my parents getting older 🥹 it’s so fucking scary the concept of time is something that just blows my mind.

[@amandathechaos2022]

I love Desi, she’s my inspiration ❤ I’ve watched her for years and I’m so proud of how far she’s come

[@1farahnaz]

Ok but seriously I NEEDED Manny's pit :( I was crushed that they never got back to it because I'm going through the exact same thing and were so interested to dive deeper into it. Can we do an entire episode just to talk about these (modern) relationship challenges that all of us are dealing with right now? I always LOVE your guys' perspective.

[@ashleyyymtz]

YESSS PLEASE

[@kendraespino1312]

I agree I didn’t like how he was interrupted and then it side tracked away from what his pit was…

[@elizabethsantos3815]

Yes I agree

[@emmygarcia9279]

@@kendraespino1312 I was thinking the same thing like why cut him off about something so random….lowkey rude cause everybody else got to talk uninterrupted 😢

[@aalexrrodriguez]

Not me smiling at the screen the entire time. My boyfriend took a video of me laughing so hard. BEST EPISODE YET! 💕

[@savannahmonet9582]

So happy for desi being on! I feel like you guys are my friends chatting & catchin up ❤ I always think of my peak n pit but have no one to tell it too except my 4 year old & 21 month old! Haha

[@JoeMama-et5pu]

Share your peak n pit here 🫶🏼

[@samanthalee89]

Laura is not wrong, we do love a long video!! ❤ This was the best, I was dying from laughter many times!! 😂 Laura took me out with her sister's story 😂😂

[@amataevenson9695]

I’m loving this trio- Manny and Desi raised meeee. I never watched Laura until more recently but i love her energy. These are always good. I appreciate how genuinely the conversation flows

[@jadebroadnax3352]

This podcast feels like sitting in the hair salon to me. I love it. Subscribed!! Love hearing from all the people I grew up watching & love laura and manny together!!!

[@kimberlymorales5107]

I mean I was waiting for this… WE NEED A DUO’s episode with Katy & Desi lol. Fool coverage is on FIRE!!!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@AlyssaLuisa]

This is my favorite episode of Fool Coverage literally ever . The girls are demanding to see Katy & Desi together one day 😂

[@jennybeYOUty]

Desi’s story about Steven!!! Omg I never saw that coming but I loved it so much! 😂 I guess there’s finally proof that F boys can turn out great! ❤

[@Karina_42]

ICONIC! Ugh! Loveeee this episode! NOWWWWW WE NEED THE 2 for 1 special Desi & Katy!!!!!

[@Rebekahharris07]

The fact that you treat eryn like your actual child and people don’t think you have experienced the love of being a mother. Aunties can love just as hard as a mom sometimes!

[@AlexisJayda]

52:50 manny I love how you act like you were there 🥹❤️❤️ love how u have her back!

[@flowwetry9256]

Loving these longer episodes and PLZZZZZ keep trailing LOL The OGs catching up!!!!! Love y’all

[@brennamartin]

Someone said to me to respond with “What about this isn’t a family?” when society questions why you aren’t having a kids. It is the best response.

[@sunitatsiames]

This was such a fun episode if you watched these OGs back in the day! It felt like a class reunion. 🥰

[@amberrhoades4247]

My husband & I are high-school sweethearts. We started dating @16, engaged @17, married @19, had children @ 27 & 30. This year will be 18years together & 15 years married.

[@selena6321]

THE QUEEN DESI!!!!!!! Fool coverage yall are really coming through with the iconic guests ❤❤❤

[@daniellerivera2145]

Desi is just such a sweetheart honestly ❤

[@AltaXo]

OMG BEST INTERVIEW EVERRRRR DESI IS LITERALLY MY INSPIRATION AND TO LEARN THAT ME AND HER HAVE A SIMILAR STORY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR MANS OMG THANK YOUUU FOR THIS. BEEN WITH HIM FOR 16 YEARS TOO 😭😭❤️

[@annaaahi_]

Omg this was the episode I never knew I needed so much! I love desi! But omg the tangerine part mind blowned me! I’m currently pregnant too and I have nausea and I usually gravitate towards eating cuties bc it soothes me so Desi saying that naturally they are knowing to sooth nausea and are in her baby butter like AHHH. I’m sold I’m ordering rn, love you Desi!! ❤❤❤

[@carolyneg8651]

Ok we need a Desi and Katy episode along with a Karen and Angel episode …. ICONIC! I would GAG!! It can be a besties series ❤❤❤

[@lisakornick]

Ahhh yes I love Desi ❤ so glad she’s back on KZbin!

[@jerricagoodwin6034]

I am so glad y'all had her on. I forgot how much I loved her. I watched her fertility journey and cried with her.

[@cassbotelho1317]

I could watch this group alllll day!!

[@KaylasPlants]

Ya’ll really been killin it with the guests this season!!❤❤❤❤

[@Tkgaming1310]

I didn’t know that people didn’t know about Destin, Fl. I’m from TX so we definitely know about it but that’s interesting. I loved this episode. You two with Desi was so fun and so good!

[@Mimis7913]

The way you all uplifted Monet! Desi you’re my idol! Amazing podcast!

[@crrrybabyy]

This was so cool to watch.. all three of you are talented and influential in the beauty space! So warming to see you guys laughing and consoling each other 🥲

[@sarahleebeauty6761]

i love desi so much! she’s been an iconic guest, she needs a podcast or do more ✨

[@LilianTahmasian]

love love loved this!! 💓

[@haydenrobinson60]

When the dezi cuffed sunnies are sitting on my head and then she’s the guest! Period

[@ashesonmylashesheathereaglen]

I loved this episode so much! I understand what you mean about Mac. I was hired at ulta and was so excited, I love the creative outlet that makeup has been for me, and I wanted to help people find the same thing. That job was full of mean girls, especially the management. It broke my spirit, and when it started making me lose my passion for makeup, I quit. I got a verbal warning for telling a customer that they had hundreds of dollars worth of points, not knowing that ulta counts on the customer being unaware of the program details. I can't imagine how great it must feel to see celebrities wearing and using your products. It literally makes my day to have a brand repost my makeup looks

[@twilightstar6575]

I went straight away and ordered Dezi bebe cream for my daughter who is currently incubating my first grandchild! Love you guys

[@baileyboyd3399]

I’m loving the Monet love at the end of this episode! She truly is the greatest

[@iAdriann]

Laura was so quick to say "well that's too damn bad" lmaooooo😭😭😭😭

[@taylorfloydmakeup]

Listening to this while moving into my new apartment - best gift from the universe

[@Meleannieliz]

I was like Laura. I kept going back and forth on pregnancy. Sometimes I wanted a baby sometime I didn’t. Now I have my baby girl with me, and I truly can’t imagine my life without her now. She made our life complete. It is overwhelming and over stimulating so it does get insane but the fact that’s she’s half and half of my husband and I, it’s unreal🥺

[@farrahita]

Love that Desi was on the podcast! I’ve been following her for the longest time and I love seeing her achieve so many of her goals and dreams; also having a beautiful family! Also I always live for Manny’s gym stories 😂

[@NB-ho2tk]

IM SCREAMING . This is the OG Tom foolery we all been waiting on 💕

[@mercedezlasiter3675]

The whole energy ❤❤❤❤❤❤ You can't sit with us! You cant have a Desi without a Katy You can't have a Manny without a Laura You can't have a Shayla without a Karen Big Energy 💯 ❤

[@crystalrodriguez1789]

Aww Cass, my heart goes out to you and Eldon! ❤ I'm happy for yall with the pregnancy and wish you nothing but positive things going forward!!

[@amberrhoades4247]

I had my puggle (Cookie) for 15years. I got her as a pup & I even have her face tattooed on my leg. Halloween 2022 I had to put her down (she was very sick & activity in the dying process). That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do bc she was my 1st child. I'm just thankful that we literally grew up together. I got her when I was 18. She was w/me through getting married @19 & having my boys @ 27 & 30. I got her cremated & I have her urn in a glass cabinet w/a picture of her, her favorite shirts, coats, collar w/name tag & her blanket (among other mementos). I miss her dearly but so hatchling for our time together.

[@TheUnderratedMama]

My favorite part is Desi continuing to be the “mom” getting you two on track with the schedule 🤣 from one mom to another, I get it haha

[@Ariellsaucedo]

I was so upset I had nothing to watch while I pack orders and this comes up ! 😅❤❤❤

[@marielbalcazar4706]

Desi looks soooooo good 💕 love her style and her makeup

[@MissTwisted319]

Desk’s energy is 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Loved the eppie so much!

[@michellevail5496]

Laura lee. Thank you for being open about not wanting children ❤ so many women feel the same way!

[@AllieAugustine]

Mannys laugh is so pure I love it 😂❤️

[@savannahmonet9582]

Yasss!!! One of the first to watch! So excited!! I’ve been a follower of all of you guys for almost 10 years! I love you guys ❤

[@allysaparales]

THE WAY I LIVED FOR THISSSSS

[@glamgal28]

When Manny was talking about his mom's birthday,I had to pause and start doing the math. It never crossed my mind that I'm old enough to be his mother 😯 I will always be young at heart 🤩

[@tinam7191]

So I don’t normally listen to the podcast immediately. I download the episodes to listen when I’m on the subway. But I had to watch this ASAP like right fucking now!!! Love you guys and Desi! 💖

[@Summer_Renee]

Destin is an hour away from us. It's beautiful. Loved seeing Desi! An episode with Katy and Desi would be iconic and chaotic. Do it! Lol

[@misslizzydm]

Laura cutting Manny off when he was talking about his mans to talk about his strands of glitter ✨😂

[@liv_fahn4072]

Laura, I am 34 and I also don’t want to have any kids. It’s nothing against anyone else I just have my reasons and that’s OK!

[@Nikkix209]

FINALLY!! I've been waiting to see Desi!! 😍😍

[@emilysantiago1240]

Thank you for speaking out on not wanting children laura 😢 I have similar feelings and experiences about the topic and am sure other women do too ❤️

[@beebeebee12]

I have been waiting for this!!!! ❤️❤️ also Laura I feel you on the baby talk! I’m like, nooooo thanks 😂

[@rpavessi]

There’s a big big drama with an ex employee of a influencer in Brazil… that EVERYONE believed the girl. And now it’s proven that the girl was lying! This Desi tea made me remember that.

[@tanyalc]

Thanks for voicing your thoughts on motherhood Laura. Some married couples don't 👏 want 👏 kids. It shouldn't be pressured for such a huge decision

[@glambydani8955]

Fine i guess I’ll buy the dezi shades 😂 it was in my cart this morning. This is a signbb

[@lauraandrade6769]

Yassssss fool coverage ! I love alll these guest❤

This is the guest we’re been waiting for

[@sugarbabylove1225]

This was epic, for sure! I love Desi! It was such a relatable episode, I think Laura was saying what I was thinking all the time. I was like, "Stop reading my mind" 😅😅😅 I do miss Desi and Katy on youtube, but I am glad they are so successful in life and business. I would love to see an episode with Katy and Desi. That will be another epic one 😜

[@philophobic1]

Fool Friday on Good Friday with DESI PERKINS OMFG❤❤❤

[@nubiacastillo3087]

The collab we’ve all been waiting for !🥹🥹

[@tiffanybertelli7022]

Laura, I completely relate to your comments about motherhood. I'm about to turn 30 and I feel so much guilt and anxiety about the fact that I don't have that strong desire to be a mother like other women my age. BUT, I'm also scared that my feelings will change in the future but it may be too late by then. It's a tough thing for many people to understand.

[@lifewithklau]

The kitty was purrringggg😂😂 lmaooo omg I love manny

[@SummerKayleigh]

omggggg Desi is my absolute fave! now watching this, so excited!!😍

[@foxymama2003]

My three favorite people who employ my wallet!😂 I have been using Dezi Skin since the launch, same with MinumLA (quality clothing at affordable prices! I get so many compliments!) and of course Lunar Beauty and Laura Lee Los Angeles have been staples for makeup for a long time! This was a great episode!! Edit: I meant empty my wallet 😂

[@amandahesler9860]

I definitely get that my family started pressing the issue for me to have a kid once I became a step mom. Im like im fine where I am and happy with the three step kids I was blessed with. Whatever my normal is for me is good enough lol. Anyways love y’all. Im always tuning in. ❤️

[@truewants]

So Excited for this..you all are why I started watching youtube...just missing Katiy!
