tell you, guys that I don't think you can do it.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I don't think I could either, But I'm hoping between
this episode and the next one, I've got a record
for my Bravo Con reefcap, I'm hoping I'll be able
to take a little nap. Yes, I didn't sleep well.
You know when you get back from a trip and
you're just like, no matter if it's short or long,
and you've been in a different bed, and you gotta
get used. I just didn't sleep well. So and y'all
were gone for a week, eight days, eight days.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
And y'all were none stop, and it's it's just like God.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
But anyway, guys on the Free Feet On Thursday, I'm

Gibson John's and Mandy Slutsk are all coming on to
give like a little short of Oh and Ace Fanning
as well, all to give a little short update on
their experience at Bravo Con. So very excited about that.
We're still working on the Smith's Sisters a time frame.

(02:15):
But I love the Smith's Sisters, Gisha. They have a
show on Radio Andy mm hmm. It's every morning and
it's three sisters, and I love them anyway, Smith's Sisters.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
So I've never heard of them until now.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
The Smith's Sisters. You should, you should follow them. Okay,
let's talk about this, guys. The literally the opposite of
the Smith's Sisters, which are three black ladies. These are,
oh yeah, nine of the whitest people, whitest kids you've
ever seen in your life.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Mary Kay, I gotta tell you, you know, my family's multicultural. Yes,
so it is my friendship group. I have not seen
this much blonde hair and whiteness since the four H
Club when I was in high school.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
When I watched Village of the I was like, what's
going on here? A lot?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
It was?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I had to watch it twice.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
You watched it twice?

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I did. Yeah, I had to watch it twice because.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I think, you know, sort of in the in the
current vernacular, you sort of know about the Plaiths because
we sort of talk about them and how much they've
changed and how much we love Olivia, you know, on
episode one, as is today, So in the current timeframe
you sort of know the difference.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, yeah, I think I know more about them currently
than from the beginning that like, they don't look the
same at all.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
No, that's why we're here. That's why we're doing it. Yeah, yeah, okay,
so much of this doesn't age. Well, it's just amazing.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's incredible, can't wait. Okay, and I.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Will say, we do see in this first episode we
see March of twenty nineteen on a calendar on the wall.
Mm hmm, So n Ethan and Olivia got married in
twenty eighteen, so like maybe, and they were together four
years before that, so it's it's interesting. Really. Oh, it's
only been six years since the show's been on, right,

(04:09):
because they just had their seventh season, So it's kind
of crazy from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty five, how
much has happened.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Thank god. I'm just glad they looked different. I'm glad
someone changed the color of their hair. I mean that
was the lot. I was like, I'm blinded by the blonde.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, a lot. It is. And Ethan in current seasons
when he because he currently has a beard, but when
he would shave his beard off, you would forget how
like whoa because the beard, the darker beard really kind
of helps him not look so whiteheaded, you know.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I mean I even noticed his arm hair was really
really light yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was Yeah, well you don't you don't have a
lot Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
No, no, no, no, like a lot of blonde hair
you mean yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
See I was like, oh that's all hair it right here,
Like okay, hotten balls, y'all.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
It is my favorite season. It's a fall and as
the air turns crisp and the holidays are getting mirror.

this is season one, Episode one, Meet the Plaths.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Okay, I cannot think of a better last night for
these people. I have a plath or unless it was
the whites.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
The whites, that would be unfortunate but true. So we
opened with this idyllic like nice calming music. We see
children on swings. We see two boys looking at an
old car like, I bet this gets five miles to
the gallon. We some Mariah going through the forest. You're

(09:16):
looking at flowers, kids running to dinner barefoot, the dinner
bells getting wrung, and then we see this opening shot
of everyone. It's the first big family photo for the show.
I guess I could just show these on my phone
because they didn't load to my computer. But this first
big opening shot that we see is this one, so

(09:39):
it's just the shot they show on the screen.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and over the years.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
It changes, well who's standing next to who? And okay,
kind of crazy. And then we also see this opening
shot also of the wedding shot. Yeah, where again I
will point out Hosanna is in this picture. Sure, okay,
is she going to not be in You'll never You'll

(10:05):
never see her again and she's never mentioned after this
episode ever? Again, whoa why you will never hear her mentioned?
And she has never seen again after episode one.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
And no one has said why.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, Olivia has said why.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
It is because when they shot this like pilot for
the show, they all sat down as a family, you know,
to agree to do it or whatever, and Hosanna realized
the show was not going to be focused on her
and her husband and her musical career. She and her
husband are both musicians and they travel around to these
evangelical things still to this day. And they were told, no,

(10:45):
it's not going to be focused on that. They're going
to probably actually spin it on the Olivia and Ethan relationship.
Since Olivia grew closer, they lived closer, and also when
Olivia came into the families when everything change each Olivia
grew up the same way. As a matter of fact,
the Plath that my dog is barking, I'm sorry. The
Ploth family modeled their whole music, everything, their whole family

(11:09):
on Olivia's family.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
The megs oh wow, because I was wondering. I was like,
how did they even meet?

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Because she's so different from them her family they meet
it is exactly the same as the Plath family. Olivia
is sort of the outlier in her family where she
wanted to see the world got you. But like that,
the family sort of set them up and they met
at one of these conferences.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Oh, I see, because I'm like, they didn't meet at school. No,
they didn't meet at any they I don't do these
people go to church?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yes, yes, and no. They sort of like Harry lead
to the church, you know, but they're all in this
ib LP is the name of this like evangelical cult
that they're in.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Okay, I was like, did they don't meet in the woods?
While picking Berry's like, like, how the hell did they meet?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
No? Olivia's family lives in southern Virginia actually, okay, for
then met at a conference. Okay, So now we see
Barry and Kim for the first time, and we see
this wedding photo of Ethan and Olivia, including Hosannah again rip,
She's never to be seen again. So the whole point is.

(12:25):
The whole point is when Hosannah found out like it's
not going to be focused on her, she said she
wouldn't be a part of the show. Okay, she's a
real piece of work. Apparently she married a guy, a
church related guy, and they moved to Ohio and they
have several kids.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
At this point, well, by Hosannah.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Bye bye girl. So Barry and Kim have nine children.
They are ages six to twenty one, and with I've
got all of their A listener synth ship, please don't
fall A listener sent this to be a long Sorry.
A listener said this to me a long time ago,

(13:07):
and this is all the years she was pregnant, all
the all the kids ages and the years they were pregnant.
Fun fact, Isaac Plath has our birthday.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
No, hey, loa maliever.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Baby two thousand and five.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
We need to go rescue him if he's still living
at this place, and show him by him an iPad
or something like that, because.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, that's cool, boy, Yeah, that's cue. That's cute. He's
a full blown racist now, so oh that's not cute.
That's not cute. Allegedly, so.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, how can you be racist?

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Have they ever seen black people or Hispanic people, Indian people.
That's that's odd that he will be allegedly racist.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
You know, well you'll see as we go how it happens.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Okay, okay, okay, so okay.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
They live on a fifty five acre farm in Georgia. Now,
fun fact, this was I believe Kim's grandparents' farm that
was left to her.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
So I was gonna ask how did they afford to
get all that land?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Right? That's how they got it?

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Got it.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
The nearest town is ten miles away, and they say
this is our heaven on Earth. And Kim says, you know,
everybody here has a limited technology. They don't play video games.
Fun fact, Kim says, here they have limited technology, but
Kim herself has a laptop that she has technology, but
no one else is allowed to have it.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
You know, I heard her say that.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
You know, we don't want our kids to do this,
be exposed to that.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
No TV.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
So can you imagine like we as a parent, I
needed that TV break. She can sit down in front
of the television for an hour thirty minutes, I can breathe,
cook dinner, do this, do that.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
It was good for our relationship, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Like I agree, missed each other for thirty minutes. We
didn't get on each other's nerves for thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I cannot.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
I don't know how people who homeschool their kids and
don't have their kids involved in other activities survive.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I really don't.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
So it's interesting you think about a good example of
homeschooling is Billie Eilish and her brother Phineas.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
They were homeschooled, but they did other things outside activities.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Correct so many other things they were in. Yeah, it's
important in sports and gymnastics and all these musical groups
and all these things that they did. And Billy has laughed,
is that the reason where homeschooled is because I think
my mom thought if I went to school, I'd be
a bully, and I thought if Phineas went to school,
he would be bullied.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
So that's funny.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, I mean there's there's advantages to homeschooling, but I
feel like those kids still need to have activities.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Whether there are around other people. You can always tell when.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Kids who are homeschooled come and go somewhere, will you
see them, You're like, they're homeschool it's the vibe, the
energy shift is off or something like that.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
So with Billy Allen, she says, if they would just
say one day like, oh god, I read something about
like Egyptian something, the parents went great, and they'd go
to the museum and find something and yeah that's great. Yeah,
that's all the seconds these kids know. They're not allowing
thing up. They just have to go by what Kevin
Barry say. And as far as the as the TV
as a babysitter that we've all done, they Lydia or

(16:29):
Hosannah or the babysitters, so they would just put the
kids off or Lydia. And then when Hosannah left, just Lydia, Lydia,
you'll start to learn a lot about poor Lydia Cinderelli, Cinderelli, So.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Mariah says, the best part is how peaceful it is
where they live, and Michael Micah explains how all the
kids prefer no shoes. They grew up with the TV.
He doesn't think they need one, well.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
How he know, never before. And I think they don't run.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I think they run around barefoot because they don't have
shoes that fit, or they have shoes with no soles
on them.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Because they keep being passed down from kids to kids
to kid.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
All of that. So Isaac says he does really love sports.
He likes soccer, he likes basketball, he likes football. And
the producer says, you know who Tom Brady is and
he doesn't know. And he doesn't know who Lebron James
is either.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, that he would get beat up if he were
to switch immediately over to like public school.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Just based off that right there.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, they're asking the kids, you know pop culture things.
Lydia says she's heard about Spider Man. She doesn't know
what Spider Man is. Kim Plath says, the kids may
not know who Justin Bieber is, but we're okay with that. Okay,
but how would Kim know because she watches TV and
as a computer.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
That, No, that's kind of fucked up a little bit.
Mary Payne.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
That won't be the first time you say that about
Kim Plath, nor will it be you'll start saying, get
twenty six moths per episode. I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Can we get like a button that just says that's
fucked up?

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yep, I'm going to put that on my list button
for Kim. All right, here we go and Mica says,
we weren't allowed to have sugar, just honey, and we
see them making something with a bunch of honey.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh you know, I hate honey.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
I was yagging with all they were pouring so god honey,
right lott old honey.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, that was so much honey.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
She was putting it to that.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
That was that was a lot like just drink the honey.
Forget to shrink the honey. If you're gonna put that
much in.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
There, geez, sugar.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
But also Kim also had lots of candy and things
hidden that was just for her, but the kids were
never allowed to have it.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
You could tell.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh, Kim looks great, I know now, and so just
a husband. No, Kim doesn't look great now, she looks horrible.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Oh well, the husband like beefed up.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
I'm talking now on this show Kim looks great. Currently,
in real time, she looks horrible, but on this show,
episode one, she looks incredible.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
So she goes downhill.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh god, oh god. I wonder if I could pull
up this old slide that I have from when Amy
and I were doing platfel. Let's see, because it would
really help my life out a lot if I could
pull up these slides and show you. Okay, here we go.

(19:45):
Let's say if it'll pull up for you, Keisha. This
is Plath number three. I don't know what it is.
Plath number three. Okay, well, this is one that we
put up a lot. That's okay. Now let me see

(20:08):
if I can pull up another one slides.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Laughs.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
I have so many Plaths.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
And this is your favorite reality TV show of all.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Time, of all time, of all time. Let's just see
if I can pull up my favorite Plath slide that
will be showing a lot. It's not showing up, Okay.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
You know it's interesting that they say, you know they
live out here because it's so peaceful.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Quo, whoa wha. I just filled up a current picture
of Kim Plath season seven. This is season seven, episode one.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
What I'll say, something bad but you're gonna kill me
if I say it.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
That is season seven, episode one. Okay, holy ship balls.
We will be doing so comparing contrast as we go.
And this is that? That's Ethan. That's Ethan.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Who does he look like?

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Like? There's a picture of someone that he looks like
with that pipe turned off to the side with the
is it a Vincent van Go painting or something like that?

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
He looks pretty good. Oh well, not so much right there.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
He looks a lot better. He looks a lot better
as he got older. And this one, I mean, Micah
Plath is so fucking hot.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
He can get it if he wants to. Yeah, he's
not a little bit racist, is he? I don't want
to hear anything bad about him.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Well here's this, I mean, yeah, what a glow up?
A little bit racist? No, I don't think we We
have the most hope for Micah. We have the most hope.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Okay, that's good because he did.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Have friends that had he had an Indian friend okay,
and he had gay friends.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Okay, yeah, okay, okay, okay, there's all right.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Back to the sugar and the honey, and then Barry
goes these kids have never had a Coca Cola. I mean,
they know what it is. People believe that it's just
off the wall.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Okay, first of all, I don't know if you've ever
seen the movie Coraline, but for those of you who have,
this man is.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
The other father in Coraline. Okay, he's Gooberrish like.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
That's I'm gonna write that down for next week. Yeslath
Coraline father.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yes, most definitely, that's all I can see whenever he
whenever he talks.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
We had we have had so many We've called him
slender Man. We've had so many names for Barry Plaith.
He's like, hoo, I'm Barry.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
We used to say that. Probably on Tuesdays he goes
and where's the diaper and get spank somewhere or like.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Oh yeah, almost definitely, Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Some freakie's got to be going on there.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I agree. One.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yes, So Kim tells us about all the kids now, Mercy, Cassia, Amber, Mercy,
Cassy Amber. We say it all together because they just
lump them together. They always say the little girls. The
three of them, they're six, seven and nine. Mercy is six,
Cassia seven, Amber is nine, and they talk about Amber

(23:23):
being quiet, which is interesting because like on the season
that we just saw, she's actually kind of stepping into
the drama. Isaac is thirteen. Isaac just goh boy, what
a sweet, sweet kid he was.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Wow wow, I hate that as it was.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, Lydia is fifteen, and she's the responsible one. Yes,
Lydia is their housekeeper slash cook slash babysitter. Also she
like works at the bank, like I mean you just yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Well, her hairstyle describes all those things, and she's awful.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
And she is at this moment and still currently like
the most overly religious one. Okay, super super religious. Let's
see if we can get all, uh can get all let's.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
See, nothing can shock me more? Oh okay she had
a little bit of a glow up. Yeah okay, yeah,
nothing will shock me like that Kim photo.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
I would have never.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Guessed really, yeah, I mean okay, yeah, all right, good,
Well do we have a lot to discuss as we
get into the Kim Black Okay, all right, and uh,
Hosannah is twenty and again let me just for everybody
not understanding there, she is. Hosannah is twenty. She's sitting

(24:45):
with Lydia and They ask Lydia, what do you like
to do for fun? And she's like, I'm not sure
Lydia's ever had fun. She's never been able to do
anything other than cook and clean. And also she sings.
And because I've got you here, and because you are captain,
you will have to hear.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Oh boy, take my mind.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
He's so them with you?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Is that from Cinderella? That's her.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
She sings a lot, and it's always terrible.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah, clearly she's never had a vocal lesson before in
her life she has had. But the birds in the
background was cute.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah. Yeah, she has a terrible singing voice. Okay. So
then there's Mariah.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
They couldn't find anything good to say about, which means
that it's a child they hate the most.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Okay, good, So you figured it out. I didn't have
figured that out, all right.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
So that's true. It's true.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
And so and so Kim goes Mariah is hm, she
looks over very he goes go ahead, and he goes
be opinionated. Mariah tells us, I've always been different from
my family. I love my parents, but I don't always
agree with what they say. You know. I like freedom,

(26:14):
I like to be crazy and have fun. And then
we see you're just getting that Scara on. They're real
tick Mary pay.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
The misusage of eyeliner and miss Scara On just this
one episode was appalling. I mean it was thick. I
think she had on like turquoise or purple or the
clumps and the eyelash and this is coming from me. Yeah,
and you know the eyelash extension, queen. But like they
have it on, but they don't have it all correctly.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
And you know that Mariah learned her eyeliner from her
mother who just just paints on. There's like such a line.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
That is so funny.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
So Mariah says, yeah, Hosanna and Lydia, they're the perfect ones.
We see Micah. Micah is eighteen. He's not hot, but
he's going to be hot.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
He's hugh, he's a handsome boy.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
He says he loves physical labor. He loves farming. He says,
you know, he would never like to live in a
big town or a small town. He always wants to
live outside a small town. He has twelve cows. He's
gotten to breed them. It's pretty easy. He's you know,
he loves this farm life.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Currently, those four cows are trying to They were trying
to run for their lives during this episode.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
They were like, we don't feel safe here, or something's gone,
I don't let everybody.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Let's move, let's roll, let's go, because.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Uh, so funny. Constantly is constantly escaping. So then there's Hosannah,
who's twenty, she's married and lives in Ohio. It's a
joke on the family. How Hosanna in the Highest? They
don't say that. We call her Hosannah in the Highest.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
That's what I was thinking every time I heard her name.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Because she is almost perfect, you know, Keisha, Causeannah is
so perfect. She got offered a scholarship from a college. Yeah,
what does she need that for? She learns more in
the real world than she would in college. She doesn't
need that head knowledge.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
That is so funny because okay, granted, no, you do
not have to have a college education, But for someone
to offer your child education for free to expand their
musical career, yep, why would you want your kid to
take that? Why would you encourage them not to do it?

Speaker 1 (28:33):
She doesn't need head knowledge.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Now.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Head knowledge is something that has followed this family, and
people say it about them they'll be like, you know,
the class, they don't need any of that head learning.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
So and they got abacus in their home. Is that
what you call it?

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yeah, abocus Uh huh see, that's that's.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
The math level.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I like meta. I mean this is like little House
on the Prairie level.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Okay, yeah, I don't like math where you have to
use a calculator or anything like that. Now, that's one
thing I agree with them, was just let's stick to
this level right here.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
We only need an advocates.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yes, And most of them didn't get their GEDs. They
graduate from homeschool and it's a it's a certificate that
their mom rights that they've graduated. But then most of
them have not gone on to get their GED because
they couldn't pass it. Because this is not a Billie
Eilis level of it. It's Kim flat level. And by

(29:27):
the way, Barry has two degrees and Kim has one.
They met in college.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Wait, whoa, So they're both college educated, but don't encourage
education for their kids.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
They hate their children.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
They they just wanted to make their own little Kim
just wanted to make her own little cult here.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
And that's what well she did a good job because
it's very culty.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
So Ethan is the oldest at twenty one. He just
got married to Olivia also twenty one, six months ago.
We see their wedding day. They had it at the
farm and Barry goes, yeah, Ethan, he's got his own house.
He and Olivia though they were on their journey. We
see Ethan going our house is about fifteen minutes away,
maybe too close.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
It is too close?

Speaker 3 (30:14):
And are we sure that Barry is not Olivia's dad
because we're Olivia.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
And what's this boy's name? Long boy number one?

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Ethan looked a lot alike to me, and she said
he grew the beard at one point because people were
always like, are you brother and sister?

Speaker 3 (30:32):
You know, they look like yeah, they do the nose,
the prop everything looked.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
I'm like, okay, are they related something. She dyes her
hair red. It looks really good on her. Okay, she
also did that before they went away to Europe. Another
time they went away to Europe, and she said she
dyed her hair red so that people would think they're
brother and sister. That's a good idea, yeah, And Livia goes,
you know, moving out and being on my own wasn't
a shock for me, but it was for Ethan. He

(30:59):
had never lived anywhere but with his family on the farm,
and he think, goes. My first job at eighteen was
as a mechanic. I'd never heard a curse word of
my whole life, and these are like bleep, bleep, bleep,
And I was like, where's my mommy.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
I don't know, back there on her iPad watching I
don't know, Bravo probably and eating chocolate.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
So this is where we see in their kitchen that
it says March twenty nineteen, which means they got married
in October twenty eighteen. So she says, we both grew
up in homeschool settings, but very different. He was really
sheltered and we weren't. I've taken him to his first
basketball game, i took him to his first movie. She says.
It's been a real process of introducing him to the world. Basically,

(31:43):
it's introducing him to things, and you know, she thinks
it's fun. She likes it, you know.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Because she took on a full case study. It's like
she adopted a child from another country. It said, let
me teach you the American ways, because this kid knows nothing.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
It's like some of our prisoners that we cover. I
love After Life. Yeah, they've been in for twenty years
and they're like, you don't understand like a boop boop,
how to open the car, or like a hotel room key,
that's idea.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, well, at least say've been to motels. I don't
think he's ever even seen a motel or a hotel
or No.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
It's so weird to me, the lack of exposure. Yes,
it's frightening.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
And he says, she introduced me to some TV shows.
Right now, we've been watching Friends. I like that one.
I like Ross and his Little Monkey, and my favorite
on that show is Chandler. And she's just like, okay,
he's so sweet, and Olivia goes, obviously, now we're married,
we're our own family, and we're gonna do things different

(32:44):
and the way we choose to do them and the
way we allow different things in our home that his
parents wouldn't and these are our personal choices. You know,
we got married and we moved in together. We have
alcohol in our home, which has been a big source attention,
Like we wouldn't want to go out for ice cream,
and that creates conflict because they would say you shouldn't

(33:06):
eat sugar. But we're like, we're adults and we can
make our own choices.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Can you imagine us telling our daughters, let's just stick
with the girls, that they could not drink alcohol or sugar.
M I would be scared. Yeah, people scared.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Please don't push me out, Please only use nice words
for me, like they would tell us, smooth the fuck
off in a minute.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
And the ice cream is going to come in, The
ice cream and soda and all that's going to come
into play later about you know what horrible people Olivia
and Ethan are with the sugar and again, okay and again.
Olivia has told me that the reason Kim was like
that was because she has no self control. So if
she can't control herself around sugar, alcohol, whatever, then nobody

(33:55):
else can.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Either else can.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, okay, So he says, I have my first Coca
Cola at age twenty. Can you believe it? And we
see him drink it. Go, that's good, he says, I
saved the can Ethan's first coke.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Okay, it's so funny because most twenty year olds have
had their first experience with a different kind of coke.
That's crazy and this poor lad has had coca cola
for the first time at age twenty.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
So it's morning. We see Barry getting ready to go
to work as a transportation planner in Tallahassee.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
What is that. I think that's like anteline job. No.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I think Barry does have a master's degree and like, okay,
and it's like planning the roads and oh, highway systems
and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
That's pretty important. That's a pretty important job.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I bet he uses a computer to do that, don't
you think.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
I don't think you cannot not use a computer for
that kind of a job.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
And a telephone.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah. So then we see the girls room, which is
four bunk best it's in one room. In a later
episode we'll see that the boys have a room. However,
there are six girls and only two boys. Now that
Ethan's left, so there's six girls. It's Hosannah, Lydia, Mariah, Ambercassia, Mercy.

(35:16):
Hassannah left, so there's five girls. There's four bunk beds.
I do believe they put Mariah in the hall. I
do believe Mariah's beds in the hall. I think I
think Lydia and Hosannah were in the hall, and then
Hosannah left. I think Mariah moved to the hall, so
her bedroom is little, and that's a loft up there.
It's not even like a closed bedroom. You go up
the stairs and it's like a loft. The four girls

(35:37):
are in that one room, and then there's the hallway
and there's a bathroom up.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
There, so there's no privacy at all.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
And I don't think the boys room has a door
on it. If I'm recalling correctly, we'll see it's so weird. Yeah,
and I think the bat the I think it's two
bathrooms total. I think there's one on the main floor
for the parents to use in the bull and then
upstairs is that one bathroom for the girls. It's a
tiny house. It's a tiny you can look at it
on Airbnb chair being.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
But I'm sure they could have made it bigger.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah, absolutely, they chose to make it small. Yes, yeah,
you see how tiny that kitchen is for nine people? Yeah, yeah,
so Kim, but pontificates on how wonderful their kids' lives are.
They don't shuttle off to school and soccer practice and
just be too busy all the time. You know, kids

(36:31):
these days, they just don't even have time to think
because they're so busy.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
No, they are thinking while they're busy.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
They're having it, think about school, socialized activities, all kinds
of like I missed those days though, being like you know,
soccer practice, dance classes and.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Stuff being scheduled. Yeah, being yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Throwed off of that at just being busy.

Speaker 3 (36:53):
And then like at the end of the day, you're like, who,
we got a lot accomplished today.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, I think she's late get ready because she gets lazier.
So okay, we see her doing a shitty job at homeschooling,
you know, just yes, And then she says she wont
defcates again and says, you know, putting thirteen year olds
in her room together and telling them these are your peers.

(37:19):
It's unnatural. And that's the only time in life when
that happens, that you're put in a room and told
these are the people you have to be friends with.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Okay, people do that at church, they do that at work,
they do it a whole, they do it on a
city bus.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
I mean, just like, this is who your life is,
this is who you're with. Yeah, oh she's weird.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
So Micah says, no, I never asked why we're homeschooled.
I don't know. I guess they just parents don't want
to is picking up bad habits, and they want to
teach us what they want us to learn, and they
want to shelter us. Maybe they shelter us almost too good.
Barry goes, yeah, I did. I went to high school
and college and you got a master degree. He says,

(38:01):
I went to high school. You know, it let me
down the wrong path. You know, it did a lot
of things in high school, a lot of drinking, A
lot of drinking in high school.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
I don't want that for my children. I don't want
that for my children.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
That's I mean, well, you.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Know that's understandable.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
But just because you drink in high school doesn't mean
you're going to become an alcoholic either, right, that's the
way they're making it seem like, And like if you
eat sugar, you'll become fat. If I drink alcohol, you
become an alcoholic.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Like you just describe too sentences that describe kim Plath currently.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Oh row yeah, alcoholism too.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Oh yeah. Oh so Micah says, no, no, no. Kivi and
Berry now talk about how they met. She heard the
lord tell her in an audible, out loud voice, Barry
is the one for you. And then he called her
the next day and said, Hi, Kim, this is Barry.
I'm called to talk to you about our future and

(38:59):
my intention. And that was marriage talk. And we got
married three months later.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
You know what was marriage talk for me. Let's go
to the bank. I'm putting you on my checking account.
I'm ready.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
That his marriage talk to me right there? What he
did that would have creeped me out of like.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Well, he's creepy, he's creepy. Barry is the head of
the family. They've been married twenty two years with no
big issues. Remember that for later.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
And I don't feel like he's the head of the
family though it seems like it's Kim.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
It is okay, all right, she's just telling him that.
Lydia tells us she does most of the work. The
younger siblings will help, except Mariah. She doesn't do anything.
You see Mariah just walk right past her in the
kitchen and she doesn't do shit. She never does still
to this day, doesn't. She's like, uh uh no, won't
do it. Well, what does Kim do nothing? Lydia does

(39:59):
everything that's sad. Lydia gives I mean, Kim gives orders.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Right.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Mariah, aged sixteen, and Lydia, age fifteen, sit together to
describe each other, and Lydia goes, Mariah, Okay, you know Mariah,
she's a special kind of crazy. I love her. Okay,
and Maria goes, Lydia is very mature, she's very sweet.
She's a really good person. This is still true.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Nice Okay.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
So over at Ethan and Olivia's house, they're getting ready
for their honeymoon. They didn't go on one, so it's
six months later, and Ethan says they're going to Paris
and France.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
He had a eth a geography. He's worth a geography than.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
We are, and also Germany. So because of that, they're
having wine tonight and he goes, yeah, Olivia, she introduced
me to Margarita's. You know, I like the sweeter drinks.
I like the cocktail. Then we get a five minute
scene of them talking about port and drinking port, which
is a very different kind of wine. He goes, recently,

(41:08):
we went to a wedding and they had wine slushies.
I thought this is so good. I had like twelve
of them, but I don't think you had an overhang. Well, yeah,
you did have an overhang if you drank twelve wine slush.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Twelve wine slushies. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
The fact that I think you still have a hangover
because you called it overhang.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Olivia says, when Ethan and I were first dating, Kim
did say he shouldn't date me. Now this is interesting, right,
because Kim literally picked Olivia Plath for Ethan. But once
Olivia started getting worldly, Kim said she was too rebellious
and too worldly and that was hurtful to hear. So

(41:51):
I made sure not to do anything in front of
her that she would disagree with. Now the story is
now that Kim like basically stalked Olivia, called her every
day on the phone, wanted her to date Ethan thought
the Olivia's family was like the coolest, would just show
up with all nine kids to visit in a whole

(42:11):
nother state and just show up to visit with all
the kids. Kim would and like try to model her
whole family on Olivia's family. Okay, would call her every
day like they were best friends. I would die if
my mother in law call me every day every day.
I just wanted to be friends and we see this
is patter. Kim does this later with the other boys

(42:31):
and their girlfriends.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
And she kind of obsessed with her boys.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Obsessed with her boys and obsessed with her their dating
and wants to be best friends with them. It's very
strange she would have many friends. So, you know, when
when she found out that Kim was trying to discourage
being with her, it was hurtful to hear that, so
she made sure not to do anything. Kim also told them,

(42:57):
if you have alcoholics your wedding, no one on my
guest list will come. So we didn't have any alcohol
at our wedding. So there is some conflict with Ethan's parents.
It's like how they need to learn how to let
their kid go and they need to let us have
freedom to be ourselves because now we're married.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
That is so weird that if you have alcohol at
your wedding, my side of the family won't come.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
I would have just had the alcohol to tell nothing.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
I don't think it's her side of the family. I
think it's people that she sang or her friends, and
they are these people that are in this ib LP
religious cult and part of that is no alcohol. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,
no sex before marriage, you know, no just no kissing
before marriage, like all that sort of what you see
with the Duggers. It's very it's not the same cult.
It's a different cult, but it's similar.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Man.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Sometimes you got to taste test stuff before you decide
you want to buy it.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
I mean, test drive that car.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
I mean yeah, I mean you see when we saw
earlier the clips of their wedding, you see Mariah going
has looked very sweet. I think they've practiced, like.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
Uh huh yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
So now we see Isaac who's thirteen and very sweet,
and shows Barry a little cabin. He has built the
entire thing himself with only a hatchet because I think
he's probably not allowed to use the chainsaw. Right, Barry
goes out there is helping with it, and Barry says,
we just encourage our kids to be themselves, and we
just limit their exposure to pop culture, you know, the music,

(44:25):
the fashion, the vanity and everything's be me me. So
we just guide them and see what happens, and they
go out in the woods, they discover themselves, and you know,
we hope to keep the world to influence and all
that junk away so they could just enjoy their childhood.
It's getting harder and harder as our kids spend more
time with Ethan and Olivia. Olivia is a wedding photographer,

(44:53):
still is, and has asked Mariah to help her out.
So Mariah's gonna go shop for a black dress so
she can you know, blendon and at the boutique at
the Bowtik, the boat Teak is called narcissist.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
I love that name.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
I love it that Yeah, and Ethan and Olivia are
going to help her out, and she says, go into
shop with Eathan and Olivia feels like freedom to me.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
I bet yeah, you can actually pick out your own
shit and look around.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
And be normal.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, you know, Ethan says, growing up, we would go
to like attimement stores and thrift stores, like we never
go to the boutiques. So we see him doorking out
looking around the store, like, look at this fancy lady duris,
Oh my goodness, look at this fancy hat. Could I
get this hat? He's like, this is a woman's story.
He goes, I can't try on those songs last those
four hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
He sounded so much like my current husband, Like he's
got to pick up everything.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
He's got to smell everything. What's this? I'm like, put
that ship.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Down, like you're embarrassing, you're embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
So Maria goes, I love shop thing. I love it.
You know, recently I got in trouble because I bought
some jeans and I was told that was sinning.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Want to take.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
Her and on a shopping trip and out to eat,
because even though she is the rebel in their family,
I find her to be very likable and sweet and
wants to learn, and you know, please don't tell me
she becomes horrible.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Oh man, she does, but I think it's not her fault.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Well tell me she doesn't come allegedly racist too.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Doesn't get taken, doesn't get racist, homophobic?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Nope?

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Okay, well then there's no chance. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
all right, all right.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
So they're trying on dresses and then Ethan sees like
a stick on bra, like the nipple cover things. He's like, yeah,
what's this? He goes, I just saw some delicate stuff
on the shelf. This is naughty. Is it like a bra?
How does it stay up? I didn't know you could
get a sticky bra. And Olivia goes, Yeah, yeah, he goes,

(47:06):
I'd like to find out how that works and private.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
I bet he needed to change his boxers by the
time he got home after seeing those.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
He's gonna need a moment.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
On a napkin.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Yeah, I think he's already have it, the moment alone
in that boutine because.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Born like it's a pearl.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Oh, so, Olivia says, you know, Mariah has told me,
you know, she doesn't feel understood, she feels left out,
and I know how that feels. So I really tried
to step into the gap to help her. But that's
tricky because I don't want to take the place of
her parents, and but I don't want her to feel
trapped and misunderstood, like I want to be there for her.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Right, they're still friends, Tell me they're still friends. God
started Mary Payne.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
It goes real south with these two.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
No, it's oh, it's so wonderful right now.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
I know, I know, it's great to see. It's great
to see. Okay, So Micah and Mariah are going to
go over to Ethan and Olivia's and Kim goes, Yeah,
it's a challenge. It's harder and harder to handle. The
stronger willed children. You know, people see our family and
they think I grew up this way, but I absolutely

(48:23):
did not. My mother was a single parent, was in
a relationship with a man who abused her. I was
an only child. There were days when my mother was
black and blue and couldn't go to work. My mom
was an alcoholic. She drank all the time. She was
drunk up until I was aged fourteen. And I want
something different from my children. I want them to have

(48:44):
a stable home with two sober parents.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
Okay, so.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
This dunen age WelCom stun age welcome.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
So at age fourteen did her.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Mom like, must have something I don't know?

Speaker 2 (49:00):
And so yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
And Barry says, yeah, now that Ethan and Olivia are married,
things are changing. You know. Now we find the older
ones are growing up, the younger ones want to fast
forward to those levels, and that's hard for him. And
I so over at Ethan and Olivia's Mariah and Mikeuld
go over and Ethan and Michael, we're gonna work on

(49:22):
the truck. And the talking head goes, yeah, the farmhouse
doesn't have WiFi, so that's another reason they like to
come over.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
I bet, yeah, it's the cool house.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
So Olivia sits down to show Mariah how to like
work the camera, and she's like, do you even know
how to pick up a camera? Because she wants to
be able to taking pictures at the wedding and hands
her one camera and hand you get another camera. Olivia goes,
I relate to Mariah, you know, wanting to get out
in the world, and I want to show her things
and I want her to see life from a different angle.

(49:53):
And I told her, like, to work for me, you're
gonna need a cell phone. I got to be able
to get in touch with you.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
M hm.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
And Mariah goes, I have a phone. I could see
I could keep up with the world. Now, I can
look up things, i can research things, and I know
I'm very naive with the world. But I'm not going
to stay that way for long.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
We love it. We love it for her. So they're
going over the calendar. There's this wedding that's local, and
she goes, you know, there's this one a wedding in
San Francisco. Have you talked to your parents about it yet?
And Mariah goes, you know, my parents don't approve of
the overall culture of California. Who state. She goes, I'm
so excited. I really want to go to California. I

(50:33):
hope my parents are going to let me go. When
I go home, I'm gonna finally have to talk to
him about it. Because she's putting it off. Because this
is classic Mariah. She puts saying, she hides, she doesn't
want to talk about anything. So she goes she's talking
to her mom. Now her mom's out there with the
three little girls and Isaac, and she goes, Mom, you
know I've been working for Olivia. She's got a wedding

(50:54):
that I want to go to. It would be a
pay job. It would be so cool. And mom goes,
who's pay for your air travel? And she says, the
job pays for it. Olivia pays for it. It is
in California, don't don't don't like where all the Heathens
live in California?

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah. So they go aside to sit and talk, and
of course Lydia comes right in to listen.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Oh yeah, she was air hustling big time.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
I always do bored out here and get some drama, right.
So she goes in to listen, and the other little
girls come in and they pretend like they're homeschooling themselves,
but they are also listening. Yeah, and they're talking. Head
Kim says. San Francisco's a big city. You know, I'm
worried about drugs and human trafficking.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
I mean, okay, it would be.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Your first time ever flying. This is a this is
a stretch for me, you know, and no one uh,
you know, Mariah is not what I can tell what
to do, and if I tell her not to do something,
she's gonna find a way to do it. So I
have to be careful how I talk to Mariah.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
So, Mom, but it's not like she's gone by herself.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
No, yeah, Mom, says Mariah, you're really far behind in school.
Maria goes, no, she goes only on book reports because
I really hate reading. And we figured out in later
seasons Mariah definitely has some sort of learning disability that's,
of course undiagnosed because most of these kids didn't even
have birth certificates until they started to do the show. Wait,

(52:28):
they just have at home. Oh my god, So they
do that so they don't have to do like tax
things and don't have to like deal with the government.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Serious, what is wrong with these people.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Oh, Keisha, just episode one, we just have so many
to go.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
And I've ever.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
Heard of that before, like a person who doesn't have
a birth certificate, but once.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
They got out into the world it and got jobs
and they have to get one. Also, are on a
TV show. They have to get paid, they have to
get burst dific because they have to get Social Security numbers.
Then ever had them before this.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
So there was no documentation of these children ever being
born until they got on this show. Correct, that's wild.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Well, I don't know if the older ones had to
get them because they had to get Social Security because
they had jobs.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
So Mom's like, you're so far behind in school and
Maria goes, I know, but it's just book reports because
I hate reading so bad. And Kim goes, how are
you going to get caught up?

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Then?

Speaker 1 (53:29):
And Maria goes, I hate how my mom exaggerates. I'm
not that far behind, just on the book rewards.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
So and then she also said I think she gave
me extra work. Yeah, probably, and I kind of believe
that too.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Dad home and she's like, oh, perfect timing. Whenever there's
anything we want to do, we always know to ask Dad.
And not mom right funny, which probably makes for great
for their relationship.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Right.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
So Mariah asked, Barry, you know, Dad, there's this trip
I could go on. I could work for Olivia and
do the wedding. But it's in California and sincere for
Cisco and he goes San Francisco. I've been there once
in the nineties. That's a city that's sort of on
the fringe. Okay, this talk it had, Barry says, it's

(54:11):
a very, very liberal city with a lot of problems
like drug use, homeless issues. We don't know what kind
of junk she could be exposed to there.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
I don't know, maybe real the real world.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
What do you think he means by that, Keisha, what
do you think he means by that?

Speaker 3 (54:29):
I feel like he doesn't want her around the gays,
the gays, people of color.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Probably he didn't say that.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
He doesn't say it.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
But and then people who are on a certain political parties.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
People that are more liberal in their thinking. Yes, his concern.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
Yeah, like my father in law doesn't like California for
the same reasons.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
My dad too would probably be like those hippies.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Theim goes well. Mariah you're very behind on your schoolwork,
so I don't think that you would have time to
catch up before this trip. But if you could get
caught up before you would leave, then you could do it.
Then you could go, and right goes Okay, I'm in
for the challenge, and she writes it down. If I
finished my homework, I.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Can go to California in pencil, because I don't think
they have pens.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
No. No, And you see, your handwriting is terrible. We
see this like they didn't learn any handwriting or anything.
And the talking head Kim says, you know, it's scary
to send Mariah off to a big city, especially with Olivia.
Olivia and Ethan they just do things differently than we
would do. And if Mariah is going to spend a

(55:48):
few days solid with Olivia, that's going to rub off
on her.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
But they're going to be working.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
If she can get her school work done, she can go.
But that's a big if because we all know she
won't get her school worked.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
She didn't, so you're basically and basically she thinks her
kid is a little dumb.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
She's setting her up for failure, is what she's doing.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Big time, big time, Like if you know, she's already
hot to tell her look at least get.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Like half of this done, yeah or something, you know,
or just tell her no, like no, you didn't keep up.
You don't need to do something.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Special, yeah yeah, instead of this is like a game
that she's playing.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
It sure is. And so they're like. Then you see
at the end of the episode, Kim and Barry sit
together and say, Wow, the kids, they grow up so fast,
and that will be okay, oh the whole show just yeah, wow,
these kids, they're trying to get this head learning, trying
to go to California.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
Yeah, So who is the lesser of the two eagles
between Barry and Kim.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
Well, I think we generally will always think Kim is
the worst.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Okay, okay, and they're divorce now, correct.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Yeah, but it took about three years for it to happen,
and that's when we start to really not like him
because he is slow rolling the divorce on purpose, for
child support purposes or whatever.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
Ye darnet Television had to get those kids birth certificates.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Now I gotta pay child support for for them.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Yep, Now we have to acknowledge them. But you will
see as we go that she is always the worst,
and Barry does a lot of like gee, golly wow,
this is all just good, clean fun here on the farm.
But behind the scenes you know that he is also
a monster, you know.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
How dreadful for those poor children. I know.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
M h yeah. Yes, but guys, that is season one,
episode one, Meet the Plaths, and next week we'll be back.
We'll be back every Wednesday with the new episode. So
this will be a slow process. So if you have
forgotten about the Plaiffs season one, head back there. You

(58:06):
don't have to watch them all at once. It's not
a binging situation. And we like that.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Yeah, yeah, like this was a whole new I mean,
I do watch Coult stuff and this is pretty could tie,
so I think I'll be okay.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
Yeah, yea, yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
It is funny. When Keisha and I discussed this on
a show. We were doing maybe sixty Days in Maybe
Love After a Lock, and Keisha said, are there any
black people? And I said, I do believe maybe season
four or five. Kim does mean one. Yeah, for the
gym a black person. It's her trainer at the gym.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
Well, from the picture that you just showed me, this
wasn't the best trainer.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Maybe she starts training in something else and that's called
twelve ounce curls. You know, she starts strange, she starts
a different kind of train. Kill.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
Yeah, I just God, bless these people. That's all I
can say.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
Well, something right, and I once again, I'm glad you
enjoyed seeing Hosannah, because never again you'll never see her again.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Bye bye, Hosannah, Bye bye.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
We'll just always pop that up to remind when they
talk about their children and so and met all the children,
so and so met, all my siblings, like except for one,
except for one, except for one. Okay, yeah, she's not dead.
But let's see how old is Hosana. Now, Hosannah was
born in nineteen ninety nine, so she's twenty six now, okay,

(59:43):
twenty six down too, she's a grown lady.

Speaker 2 (59:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
The youngest one is Mercy, and she's twenty thirteen, so
she's twelve.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Oh so she's So there's some that are still at home.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Yeah, Mercy, Cassie, Chamber, Customercy, and Customercy same all together
because they're all the same person. And then of course Isaac,
the one with our birthday, he still lives at home,
but he has a job and everything because you know,
he wouldn't go to college or anything like that. Okay,
he is a pilot that he does have his pilot's
license for like little planes. So he did do that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
I mean yeah, yeah, he's always been, always been very
interested in aviation. Isaac, Well, he.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Only will fly people that have blonde hair.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
That's correct. It's blonde air. Blonde hair, blonde hair. Isaac's
plained now. I think it's more like crop dusting and
stuff like that. You know, got you, Okay, Okay, everybody
that is the episode, please join us every week for
Welcome to Platfel. Keisha and I will be right here.
We're just gonna go. We're gonna go all the way through.

little break. If Love is Blind comes back, oh yeah,

(01:00:51):
if we have, if it fits in like exactly like
a chunk of a season, because God, Keisha and I've
covered all the Love is Blind. You can go listen
to that. That's on this level ten dollars. And right
now we're covering together on Monday's Mugshot. Mondays. We were
covering sixty days in season four and so good. It's
so good.

It's wild. It is wild. Love after Lacko. We'll come back.
