Infuriating Companion Bug

Went to the Combat Zone with Piper to get Cait, and Pipes continually says the same reaction to the cage: "Animals in the cage" or something like that. You'd think I'd remember it after she repeated it every two seconds or so. No matter what companion I bring, they just keep on saying a line one after the other. (inb4 just dismiss them for dogmeat...which I don't want to do.) Not sure if it's a mod, cause I've used plenty of mods before and I've never had this issue. I recently started playing again, by the way.
