Hello world, welcome to my Sister Wives podcast.
I'm Chris. And I'm Allie, we're long time
friends who had no idea we were both watching the TLC trainwreck
reality show Sister Wives. Join us as we rewatch Sister
Wives, maybe have a drink or two, and share what useless
information and insights we can provide.
Listen to us two deadbeat losersjudge the Brown family.

(00:22):
That's us all right. See you on the flip side.
Me call you sweetheart. I'm in love with you.
What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done.
Goodbye. You.

(00:43):
Shut it off. Do not twist my words.
Do not make me a victim, sweetie.
Just look at the mountain. That's what you saw that day.
Just the knife in the kidneys over all these years and the
sacrifices that I made to love you.

(01:14):
Well, we moved from Utah to Las Vegas and I am exhausted.
Same. We are exhausted.
There was a lot. That was a ride.
There was a lot. Last episode of season 2, Sister
Wives in the City of Sin. Yes, literally before turning on

(01:36):
the mics and hitting record, we were both like, oh boy, that was
a lot. That was a lot.
This is the first episode. I'm making note for those
particular Sister Wives fans that are listening to us that
this is the first episode where all of the tag lines are what
they will be for the next however many seasons.

(01:56):
Meaning Robbins was finally updated to the I feel like this
was destiny. Like we should have all been
together from the beginning lineup until this one.
They were using various things she had said.
It wasn't really all that consistent.
So just for the Sister Wives super nerds, this is the first
episode, the last 1 of Season 2.So that's that makes sense that

(02:18):
it's the last episode of the second season.
So why not do it now like that? That makes sense.
But yeah, but the episode opening, it's like a sumMeri of
the investigation and the quick move.
It was kind of just like an overview of what we had gone
through. It was, but even before we get
there, so even before they do their intro lines, you know,

(02:40):
they always give us those littlesnapshots of what's going to
happen throughout the episode. And I was just sitting there and
I said out loud several times, Oh no, Oh no, like I is.
So it was very clear before it even began that this was going
to be a wild ride, and one that we would have plenty to disagree

(03:06):
with and be upset and angry and maybe yell unkind words about.
So. Yes.
So that was before it even started, Yeah.
Agreed. Yes, the yeah coming up ONS were
Oh my God. It was, it was a lot.
But then yes, there was just that recap of how we got here

(03:28):
basically right. Like why we are moving.
The investigation, the announcement of the move, the
actual recapping of parts of themove which were just as
uncomfortable to watch this timeas it was last time.
So the trauma reel, let's call it like, I don't even know, like
it's. Oh my God that's trauma wheel.
That's trauma reel like it, you know?

(03:48):
Wheel. I said wheel.
You said wheel. But you knew that that's
straight up like and the both ways.
A lot of trauma, a lot of things, a lot of flashbacks,
blah blah blah. But then it is the first day of
their rental. Yeah, they've they're in the
rental and they do make it clearthat they're going to have a
somewhat chill day. You know, like they've obviously
been through a lot. And you know, Kody talks about

(04:11):
how the sun is at his back. They're giving him a moment to
talk and he's outside I holding one of the kids and the sun's at
my back. And it was interesting because
the sun was on his back. His hair was lit up from the
behind. And then we're back inside the
rental and he's laying on a loveseat, kind of like looking out
the window, his hands by the by the window frame and he's gazing

(04:33):
off into wherever. And Janelle brings up like, oh,
you guys look and she's talking to Robyn and Meri and saying,
look, Kody's looking out the window and I haven't seen him
just take a moment to be and whatever for so long.
And it's almost this like, I don't even know how to describe
it. It's like they were being like,
look like we made it. And Kody's at peace.

(04:55):
I thought that they were fawningall over him.
Yeah. Like they were just like, I
mean, I feel like he could probably even hear what they
were saying or something. That's what I thought.
Too. It was just like, oh, good for
him, you know? Yeah, definitely licking his ass
a little bit, right? He was laying like this.
I'm a little sloppy. And then all of a sudden he had
some more angles and was a little more arched because the

(05:16):
camera was going to be looking at.
Him way more pensive looking, yeah, you know.
He was really living it and breathing it.
And now he's Kody looking out a window.
And if that was a genuine moment, whatever.
But like, it seemed interesting.At one point, he said that he
felt like he was born again. Born again.
Born again. Yes, he was very.

(05:39):
Yeah, that was great. I do like his references to
spiritual and religious phrases,like he does speak in these
ways, like always using like dogmatic language and things.
So he was born again but making it all about himself.
So I guess whatever. Yes, he was born again.
I was. Going to you said I do like.
Yeah, no, I yeah, I guess I don't like.

(06:02):
It OK, sorry I just wanted to. Do I guess I don't like it?
He just drives me crazy. But I just want to make sure we
hadn't. Like no, I know I don't.
Want to be like Kody and like saying word salad?
Absolutely. Absolutely.
OK. Thank you for helping me clear
that up. That was really great.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, they so they all just kind

(06:22):
of keep making different ways ofreferences to how much better
they feel, right? Like the adults and like we just
are just everything is so much better, so much relief, so
relaxed and at peace and blah blah blah.
Yeah, they kind of when they were talking about it, I noticed
they broke it into the three groups, like the kids, and they

(06:44):
reference how their kids are light.
They seem lighter, the younger kids.
And as they're talking about it,they do cut to Dayton and some
other kids in a hot tub. And he's saying some things and
kind of like floating there looking all jolly.
And it was like, Amen. They said light and fluffy,
fluffy, fluffy. Yes.
And it was a good moment for that, like a good example of it.

(07:06):
The kids did seem to be in good spirits, the younger ones.
And then Kody talks about how the adults are free, their sense
feeling, the sense of freedom from their move, but that the
teens are bitter and that they're still upset.
And they do. Cut to Maddie, where she talks
about how they're living out of suitcases.
I don't remember any of the other specifics, she said.

(07:28):
But it was on like, you know, they were still being like
angsty teenagers. And also they just moved the day
before. So, you know, to be expected,
I'm guessing. I think it's to be expected.
Well, and she said that the investigation still isn't gone,
right. Like, so it's not like the whole
problem is solved yet. And they are aware of that fact.
It's not like everything is fixed.

(07:49):
But she did say it's still kind of like a new beginning.
And, you know, that's just whereshe's at with everything.
But not, like, happy, Yeah. Yeah, they didn't have any
footage of the teenagers being excited and happy, so that makes
sense. Or they didn't show us any of
that. They do cut to the outside of
the house when discussing the day and like what was going to
happen next. And it just struck me how many

(08:11):
boxes there were in the driveway.
And I don't know if they we're told to like, you know, line up
the driveway, make it look dramatic for a shot or whatever,
but there were some like it's like they cleared out the whole
U-Haul into the driveway insteadof bringing it into the house.
Like there were so many boxes inthe driveway.
Well, I think what happened, so we'd see later on that like

(08:31):
they're taking things to a storage unit or something.
But my assumption is that they had to do some of that finagling
in the driveway because they didn't pack things well and
understand what they would need to take out or not and probably
had to do a bunch of that shit, you know, and who's going where
when we find out as a thing. And I mean, it's just all, of

(08:53):
course, wonderful planning. Yeah.
And that absolutely does make sense, finding out that they are
getting a storage unit, what's going in the house, what's not.
And then we get to a moment where Mona's driving in the car
to the house. And it's fun to be reintroduced
to Mona after they signed their leases.
And we didn't really get to talkto her all that much.
But now she is being real and she is like, working with the

(09:16):
Browns has been a challenge. And I just, we got to give it to
Mona. She's getting the job done.
Her job is literally impossible.So she's just doing what she can
do and she's not giving us more literally even in what she's
saying, like she's like, they'rechallenging.
We're going to see what we can do.
We're going to try to find them for rentals.
What they want doesn't exist. That's what she's Nope it.

(09:40):
It does not exist. So this is the next possible
outcome. And we, I applaud her realness
with that. We find out that they're
currently in a four bedroom rental because we, you know, in
the last episode, it's like they're moving into this rental
property for 30 days. But they didn't give us the
details on this stuff. So we didn't know what kind of

(10:00):
living situation are they in nowfinding out that it's a four
bedroom. And even they said, I think
technically 4 bedroom. So maybe there was like an
office or something more. But still, from the footage we
see, it's not like a compound, it's like a four bedroom house.
Like we should have called CPS back in the day, you know, like

(10:21):
there's not even there's. This is certainly a fire hazard
at the very least. And who I think it was Hunter
was talking about how the kids, they keep the boys or the boys,
the girls with the girls. Right.
But then the because there's 4 bedrooms and there's four wives,
they are going to divvy up the bedrooms that way.
And Kody talks about how he doesn't want to take ownership
of that. And then I don't know if it's

(10:42):
Meri discussed it, someone talksabout how they as wives came
together to come up with how they were going to be out the
bedrooms. And I'm sure some kids sleep
with their moms and stuff too, but like, so there are 6 boys,
10 girls, 10 girls, and five adults in this house.
So insane. Like who's in the garage?

(11:03):
Right, like I anyway, I I did think it was great that we
actually got that detail. Yeah, yeah.
So that we can piece together what a shit show this all is, of
course. Because.
Yeah, ten daughters, Yeah. I wonder, 'cause you know, this
is it in Robyn's room. Maybe the girls are staying with
her, right? And, you know, Christine has her

(11:24):
girls, well, probably all three of her girls, you know, in her
room. And I mean.
Yeah, they're probably, the boysare sleeping in the family room
kind of thing. You.
Know, yeah, but yeah, I guess that's what happens when you
don't plan a move. Yeah, like a place.
To move when you move your enormous family in 2 days.

(11:46):
Yeah, completely inappropriate size of home, even for just 30
days. Actually, especially for 30
days. Like if this was a long weekend,
maybe that sardine cramming is OK, but for 30 days actually
living out of suitcases? Yeah, those kids have every
right to be fucking pissed rightnow.
Yeah, like indoor camping for how for however long they're

(12:09):
going to be, which luckily they're not all there for 30
days, so that's good. But that they clearly didn't
have a plan. These people do not plan.
They don't have a plan. Jesus.
Man, but then they do, you know,the adults talk about how
they're divvying up the bedroomsand how they came to this
conclusion. And I thought it was nice to a
certain extent. I thought it was nice that who,

(12:30):
I don't know if they even said who said first that like
Christine should have the priMeri bedroom.
I think maybe Kody. I don't remember, do you
remember? What I remember is that
Christine joked about how she threw a fit.
Yeah, to get the bigger bedroom.Yeah.
And then they all like ha ha. About it or whatever, Robyn.

(12:50):
OK, so this is like, Oh yeah, Robyn has so many terrible
moments in this episode. Like so many.
This one's just embarrassing andgross, but she has some, well
many many many that are cringe worthy, but some that are really
like bad. OK so this one she's talking

(13:13):
about how whoever gets the larger bedroom could be
considered like the more preferential wife of sorts.
Course she could never use a word like preferential, but what
she did instead was contort her face and then also completely

(13:35):
changed the pitch of her voice. Her square face turned into a
trapezoid, and then the vocal cords shot up to the top and.
It was so bad. And so she does this and she
goes, she's your favorite. Like it was like.

(13:57):
It was so disturbing. It was disturbing, Yeah.
It was awful. Awful.
Yeah, like. It's one of those things like
where if your friend did it at agathering, you would maybe pull
him aside later and be like, honey, don't do that again.
Like, just like as your friend like, don't do that.
Right? That doesn't, that doesn't work.
Yeah. It was horrible.
It's like she was pretending to be a 13 year old who was

(14:19):
pretending to be a 5 year old. Well, right, But then also
saying it kind of meaning to be in jest, but also, you know,
she's saying it because she feels already that people think
she's the favorite. And so she's she's doing a
multitude of things, none of which land, and she just ends up

(14:40):
looking psychotic. It's like she's making just for
everyone, like she's speaking about the the experience as
sister wives like, but we don't want you to feel like this or
come across like, and it's like she's speaking for everyone, but
no one's agreeing and no one would actually say it like that.
Like she's being ridiculous. It's oh so off putting.
So off putting. Yeah.

(15:00):
So that was ridiculous. Yeah, sorry that that was a
little bit of a tangent, but it was a distracting moment in the
episode. It was jarring the way.
That she was talking to the one that happens like this was oh,
there were so many. Like second hand embarrassment.
To seal our hate on Robyn. In this episode.
If you like Robyn after this episode, you're an idiot.
Yes, you are an idiot. Yes, sorry.

(15:22):
Yes, if you were making any excuses for that woman, yeah,
you should also seek help, like whatever kind of help you want.
But I think that you should lookinto that.
OK, I'll stop. I'll stop insulting our
listeners and their potential need.
To seek mental help and I agree.I agree it's true.

(15:46):
OK, now there was another disturbing moment that happened,
like immediately after that. Did you catch this?
So they're all like in the kitchen, like joking around and
like slapping each other on the ass with like spoons, like the
wives. God, OK, yeah.
Being playful with their things.Yes.
And it was just kind of like, why are we doing this?

(16:08):
What? I I know I don't.
It just was weird. It comes.
There's a few moments with thesewomen, too, where it comes
across like they're being performatively playful.
Like they're. Yeah, Like it didn't feel
genuine in the sense that like, this is how we demonstrate that
we're fun and we're playful. But I'm like, I don't buy it.
Like, I don't even like it. It doesn't even make sense.

(16:28):
Like it's weird. It was weird.
And it happens multiple times inthis episode where they're
trying to be playful in a situation and it comes across as
disingenuous and just strange. Like doesn't make any sense.
Well, also so this was Kody's birthday.
We find out. Right, well, we do find out that
we are celebrating Kody's 43rd birthday, yes?
Which the last episode we didn'teven know when that was, and now
we're finding out it hasn't evenhappened yet.

(16:49):
Right. But that was when.
God that. Yeah.
So so God told him before his 43rd birthday he had to move so.
We did the interview. Must have been two weeks before
his 43rd. Must have been a month before
his birthday, but he forgot that.
Yeah, the couch interviews hadn't happened in the right
timing. But in all reality, Christine
getting the priMeri bedroom because she has truly and all of

(17:09):
the wives think that makes sense.
They're all like, yeah, absolutely.
It totally makes sense 100% and I didn't think about that even
as the conversation started thatit was obviously truly with the
baby. You should get the bigger room.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When they said that, I was like,
yeah, that makes sense. And then Robyn had to contort
her face and scare everyone. It was just a lot.

(17:30):
But as they're going into Kody's43rd birthday and what they're
going to do for him, there's this discussion about the
importance of celebrating birthdays in their large family,
Which totally makes sense. Like, you could so easily get
lost in the crowd. So to have every birthday for
them to try to, and that makes sense.
They did it with Dayton. No, I don't know if it's special
for Dayton because we have to treat Robyn's skin special.

(17:52):
Who knows? But they did give him a birthday
the day that they were going, the day before they moved, he
got a cake. Janelle was very enthusiastic
about being there, and he got his goddamn birthday, you know,
so they do. We haven't seen any reason to
not believe them. No, and Kody does say they've
never forgotten a birthday in that family, at least up until

(18:15):
this point. I would be curious to see if
that's still tracks today if youasked.
Him today we'd be like, when's Meri's birthday?
And he'd be like, oh shit, he'd have to like, pull up his phone
and look right. But he is happy and calm and
they yes, it is his special day and life is really good, yes.
There, I think the freedom thingeven came up again, like, oh,

(18:36):
we're free, I feel free. So, you know, he's found his
Plymouth Rock. He's great.
Yes, well, he's been reborn and Yep, then at the did you hear
what he said? He's like joking around with one
of the boys. I can't remember which one, but
he did this like again, not really contorting his face, but

(19:00):
looking nor his normal face, which is just disturbing on its
own level. And then he did change his voice
a bit and said something about how you're in Vegas with your
daddy. Yeah, your daddy for his
birthday or something? There was some weird phrase and
he voiced it. Strange.
It was not, again, not comfortable, gross, disgusting.

(19:21):
Like what are we? Doing I tried to block it out
from my memory. What are we doing?
Yeah. So they're in Vegas with their
daddy. Yeah, before they transition to
the next scene, Kody and Robyn are talking about how moving to
Vegas offered them some relief as newlyweds and that maybe they

(19:41):
could try for a baby. So what really grosses me out
about this? Well, there's many.
Where do we start? Where do we start?
The first thing that grosses me out about this is the way that
we're introduced to this. It's like, Oh yeah, it was
Kody's birthday. And now, oh, we're newlyweds and
we, we really want to try to have a baby.
And we couldn't do it in Utah because of the investigation and

(20:05):
all of the things over our headsin Utah.
So now that we're in Vegas, maybe we could try for a baby.
And I'm like, first of all, I don't even believe you.
I, I don't think you waited tillVegas to try.
And we find out later they absolutely did not.
But this is complete and utter bullshit.
You just moved into a rental andyou don't even have a place to
live. And you're like, oh, we feel a

(20:25):
sense of relief where he can come inside of me and I can get
pregnant now. Like you're so full of shit.
And we were just, it was just like out of nowhere like left
turn. Guess what?
We're fucking and trying to get pregnant like.
But they also, like, say that they waited so long, they had to
be so patient. Yeah.
They've been married less than ayear. 10 months. 10 months.

(20:49):
Yeah. And all poor us.
Poor us. To wait and wait and wait.
Like shut the fuck up every everybody about everything.
Yeah, and that's totally been their narrative, even about the
wedding, about they had a court for so long.
All of these dates are not long.They just are like, we want to
get married in two weeks and be pregnant in three.
Like, that's weird. That's weird.
Correct? That's weird.
Abnormal at the very least. Yeah, so the whole being

(21:13):
introduced to this thing was gross.
And then the concept of it, theydon't dive too much into it.
It's totally like teaser moment and I was teased in all the
wrong ways. I was turned off.
OK, quick poll. Bad oral.
How many times during the show have you been turned on?

(21:38):
Well, I know of one in the future with Kody in a dirty
pond. I get real turned on, but you
know. Disgusting.
Disgusting. You also need to see kelp.
Yes, I do need to see kelp. Also, there's this point where
Meri's in this brown dress before they do this.
Oh yeah, the brown dress that that's made for her.
OK, never seen anyone look so beautiful.

(22:01):
So I'm I'm full of wow. I'm.
Sorry I asked the question. If I'm in a safe space, Sister
Wives gets me going all the time.
Always horny. Well, we haven't been laid in a
long time, so that could be. Send help, Help me, I've been

(22:27):
kidnapped. Kody.
Oh Kody. So anyway, revolted and
disgusted by Robyn again, which we always are.
So now it's the next day. And they, you know, they took a
break and now they're back at it.
Yeah, now they're at their second full day in Vegas,
according to Meri, which means they're going to have to do
things now. They took their one day for
Kody's birthday to sit around and now it's business, which

(22:51):
means they're moving things intoa storage unit because they are
in a rental and they probably have to put their shit
somewhere. So it was.
Like what are you putting in? Like, but of course they have to
put stuff in storage. It's just everything they're
they have suitcases, that's all they have.
Yeah, anything that isn't a suitcase they probably did want
to put in storage, although it would be interesting because
like the garage wasn't availablelike, but maybe they have all

(23:13):
their vehicles. Never mind I we can't be solving
these problems for them. We.
Can't solve their problems for them.
They need a storage unit for alltheir shit that they moved.
So that's what they're doing. We do find out that they did get
their first rental, that they'reprioritizing Robyn getting the
first rental because of how manytimes her kids have moved in the

(23:33):
last two years and they think prioritizing having her kids be
settled is important. OK, but who suggested that?
You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, that came from
Robyn. Nobody else was like, clearly
Robyn should be the priority here.
Yeah, Robyn made. Robyn planted that seed
somewhere. He's either with Meri or Kody, I
think. Yeah.
Robyn made Robyn the priority. Yes, and she got that and that's

(23:55):
great. We hear that there are four days
until the kids need to be enrolled in school on the day
that they're talking about. And they did find a rental home
for lease that Robyn's going to take that is in the school
district. Christine reiterates that Nevada
is very strict about living in the school district that you're
enrolled in. So luckily by the hair of their

(24:16):
chinny chin chin in, they get this house in the school
district that they can rent, Robyn can rent.
And then they probably have all of the kids enrolled in school
from that same address. And they had four days to do
that. And luckily they found a home, I
guess, luckily for them. It was just bonkers.
The whole thing is just crazy, right?
Like, so then all the kids go tothe school, right?

(24:41):
Well, these schools different, you know, grade levels,
whatever. But they're talking about just
the logistics of this, OK? Like the shifts that they have
to take to get ready in the morning to get some to the
elementary school and some to the middle school and some to
the high school, all of which start at different times of the

(25:03):
day and they're over 30 minutes from school.
Even the footage they showed of them getting ready, I was like,
this is very put together footage.
Like they didn't look crazy and like they were like look at
everybody getting ready and I'm like, there's no way that that
was actually the vibe. Like they.
All had. Xanax.
They squeaked it up a little or they they made it.

(25:24):
They polished it up because it must have been a shitstorm in
the morning. It's like, terrible.
I cannot fathom. So all of that sounds very ready
to go to. School every day in a four
bedroom house. Well, right.
And they're like, we have to account for the boys long
showers and the this and the that and the doing the girl's
hair. And I'm like.
And now it is, you know, production could change it.
But while they're talking to Maddie, they do a cutaway to a

(25:45):
camera and it's, or excuse me, acutaway to a clock.
And it is 6 in the morning. So if if that's the truth, she's
standing there talking to them at 6:00 in the morning about
getting ready to go to school. I believe that.
And like 6:00 in the morning to be ready to go is pretty early.
Yeah, it was a lot. No thank you.
No, thank you. Yeah, so when they're doing

(26:07):
this, they do have the kids havea couple spotlight moments.
One was Logan talking about being nervous.
He said like, it's a big school.And I was like, oh, like it was
totally one of those small town.Yeah, they lived in the burbs,
but you know, rural ish. So to go to a new school in a
big city, I would be very nervous.
I and I thought that was a little unexpected for him.

(26:28):
Yeah. It.
I was like, oh, I mean, Amen. Good honesty, you know, but
like. Yeah, yeah, he definitely shows
up. So like, that was interesting to
hear underneath his armor, right.
And then Maddie was still being a negative Nelly.
Like she like this is when they were going to school.
That's right before school. And she's like, yeah, like I
don't care. Like I don't even care.

(26:49):
Like, whatever. I.
Don't even want friends here. Yeah, I don't even want friends
here. I'm just going to move back to
Utah. OK.
Yeah, perfect. So yeah, the kids are off to
school. They're showing.
They did show a couple clips of them getting ready, and then
Kody lets us know that they're moving Robyn into her new rental
on this first day of school. So while the kids are in school,
they're moving Robyn into her new place, which is just

(27:09):
wonderful. Robyn lets us know, Oh my God,
this woman, the gauge just took over my body.
It just took over my body because I was like my level of
disgust. It's not going to be the same as
everybody else's for the same reasons.
But like Robyn lets us know thatshe hasn't decorated in a few

(27:32):
years because of all the times that she's had to move.
She even says something like, you know, being somewhere for
like 6 months. And I was like, you couldn't
what you you didn't put. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's as bad as I thought it was.Laziness unfolded.
Lazy. Literally she does nothing and
she's somewhere for six months and that's reason enough for her

(27:52):
to not put up a picture, A picture Like you've got to be
fucking kidding me. And just the way that she makes
it sound like this is her excusefor not decorating.
Like I'm sorry, I don't even know how to put words to this.
I'm just so disturbed. I'm so disturbed.
Well, I think we both are extremely disturbed by this
because in our homes we find it necessary to still make it feel

(28:20):
like a home. It wouldn't matter if we were
there six weeks now, we may not go, you know, as crazy as we
would a normal day, but like, weare not going to live in a place
that doesn't feel like home and she she's too lazy to care
about. Yeah, yeah, no, she's got craft

(28:40):
singles to melt, so she's got things to do.
No, her noodles, marinara and cheese.
She's got to make her dinner. Just wait until we get to her
dinner. Yeah, just wait.
Just wait. But yeah, the bitch can't put up
a picture in six months and so her kids are so traumatized
because they have to move all the time and she can't even
possibly decorate while she's watching her fingernails grow.

(29:02):
I don't even know what she's doing.
It's. How do we, how do we transform
from that though in the early years to hoarder in the late
years, right like. Well, she hasn't had the benefit
of literally doing nothing and and it's anyway it's
complicated. We could keep going and we will
not for you. At this point, Robyn hasn't Co

(29:23):
opted everybody else's incomes yet.
Right, like she doesn't have the.
Her bank account doesn't have the zero she needs.
Yeah, OK, OK. But yeah, no, she can't do
anything because she's Robyn andshe's an idiot and that's the
that's how it goes. The first day of school went OK
for the kids. You know, they had some smiles.
Even Maddie smiled a little bit like.

(29:44):
It was fine. They all seem to be in pretty
good spirits coming home. Yeah.
They cut to the adults on the couch for a discussion.
And this is where we get to hearJanelle say, I think for the
fourth time in the recent history, about the finite
resources that the family has. Finite resources, Yes.
So they're talking about their limited budget.

(30:04):
I feel like maybe she needs to define that word for some of the
other wives. You know, right?
Maybe. Yeah, Robyn's going like, oh, we
have diamonds in our budget. Like she doesn't get it.
She doesn't get it. But they're kind of hitting us
over the head with the fact thatthey don't have a lot of money
and they quit their jobs when they moved and they are, you

(30:27):
know, money's tight. They're trying to rent four
homes. There are some other things
about their finances that they don't discuss in the show and
that may allegedly have happened, such as some
bankruptcies and some things that happened before with living
a lifestyle that you couldn't afford because of your husband's

(30:47):
shitty income from being a signed salesman and he sucked at
it. Some things allegedly that might
have happened that we don't knowthe details about.
But there's also a reason why financing is a problem beyond
the fact that they don't have 9 to fives.
They might be making some money from TLC.
We've discussed this from production, but they don't have
more than a year of probably solid.

(31:07):
Payments on anything? Some of them assets exactly,
maybe not. And some of them may have
declared bankruptcy fairly recently.
So there's that. So there's a lot of things going
on and Janelle just likes to point out the finite resources.
And no really she probably only said it once, but production
uses it like at every commercialbreak and whatever.

(31:28):
So it is what it is. I was a little disturbed and
concerned about Janelle talking about them spending their
retirement on starting a family business.
I wondered, where does this comefrom?
Is this a Kody Halfcock theory or, you know, like plan, like,
oh, you know, really what we need to be doing as
entrepreneurs. We need to be owning our own
business. And then Janelle's on all

(31:48):
things. Yeah, we should cash out
retirement or what retirement dothey have, by the way?
Oh, cash out our retirement to start a family business.
Would you got in there 10K like?Well and you've been in Vegas
for 24 hours and you're trying to find 4 rental?
Like they just keep layering problems and made-up shit on top
of each other for what reason? Why would now be the time where

(32:09):
you would even be discussing starting a family business?
Insane. That threw me off completely.
And of course that's the only information we get at this
point. We know nothing else.
They're now entrepreneurs as well.
Right. And then like they all have
these different, you know, obviously different takes on
this entire situation. And Meri's just sure they're

(32:32):
going to be OK. We're going to be OK, No
worries. Like we, we got this and
Christine is, you know, we'll adjust, we'll budget, we can do
this because we have to. And so that's what we'll do.
And Janelle's like the rational 1, you know?
And Robyn doesn't understand anything about a thing, so it
doesn't matter really. But you know.

(32:53):
No, Robyns. Oh God, what did she say?
Robyns Just hoping that she's the favorite.
That hurt my face if. I could have gotten that.
I'm never going to do it again. That hurt.
I actually am glad I didn't. I don't think we need to see it.
Yeah, I know that. That was the thing.
I could be that for Halloween. Oh my God, you couldn't.

(33:13):
Keep that face that way. Yeah, yeah.
Oh God, They start reiterating how they want to be close to
each other when they're talking about these homes.
So this is it. They bring up these finances
things and it's all really connected to the rentals they're
getting trying to get these rentals, so they want to be
close to each other. So yeah, they want to be close
to each other, but then they do this like I was going to say

(33:35):
circle jerk. I'm not going to do that.
Sister Wives circle jerk. You heard it here first.
But then they do these like mental gymnastics of of why and
where and how they have to be close together.
And 1st, it's like the kids needto be close to each other.

(33:58):
We just need to make sure that the kids can be close to each
other. And then Kody's like, and I
really need to be close to my kids.
And so I need to do that. And and we really want the kids
close to all of the wives and all of the moms too.
And so it's like, yeah, you just, you just want each other
to be close. You want all of you to be
together. I think they also said, and we

(34:18):
want the kids to be close to Kody and Christine was like, and
I want to be close to the kids. It's like you're all saying the
same fucking thing over and overagain.
This. Is why.
Yep. Yep, so that was that.
That was definitely a Sister Wives circle jerk if I've ever
heard one, that's for sure. Yeah, mental gymnastics.
Nice try. It's a circle jerk.

(34:39):
I'm. Just going to believe I said it.
You have such a dirty mind. Well, I did.
It's just it was the words were appropriate.
Obviously not the action. Well, kind of the action.
No, that's wrong. Let's just stop.
This is the Christian podcast. That's an image I don't need to
see in my head ever in my life, so.

(35:00):
So then to give us some brevity to lighten things up.
Thank you. We have Leon talking about how
they were bored or whatever and how they have a Utah learner's
permit, and Meri lets them drivein a circle in a parking lot.
And then Maddie joins them. And it was interesting because,
yeah, like, OK, you don't have your learner's permit in the

(35:21):
state. I don't want you driving around.
OK. But they literally were just in
like a backyard or, I don't know, an empty lot.
They were not driving country roads with a 12 pack in the back
seat, smoking weed like we were at their age, but speak.

(35:41):
For yourself, I was on my knees saying a prayer to God for
people like you. For you doing some.
Yeah, there were no country roads.
It was literally a circle. It was a parking.
Lot and like a dust pit. I don't even.
Know and they said they were doing Donuts but it was like the
most PG doughnut I've ever seen him doing.

(36:04):
Doughnuts, you know. Yeah, no, it was just a circle.
You just tell you didn't even gofast, there's no dust.
Like no, but they really enjoyedit.
And that's all the matter. It looked kind of sad and
pathetic, but it's OK, it's fine.
And they do have a moment, you know, after this wild ride of

(36:24):
circling around in an empty yardor something.
I don't even know. And it was what he also, because
Meri was like, maybe I should have been watching them.
It's like, no, you literally could have left the state, came
back. You could have gone back to
Utah. You could have gone on vacation
and came back and your child would have been just driving
around in a circle. You would have missed nothing.
The worst thing that would have happened would have been them
running out of. Yeah, ran out of gas, ran out of

(36:45):
gas, couldn't move. And had to push it into its
spot. A wild ride, thrilling.
Janelle finds the next rental, which is interesting.
I noted that there's a pool in the backyard and I think this
does come up in, in the future. Janelle has a pool at her
rental. And it's funny because Mona
pitched it, I guess initially asto Meri kind of like is a good

(37:07):
option for Meri. And then Janelle said that as
she was walking around, she started liking things and
finding things and being like, Idon't know, and blah, blah,
blah. And even Robyn talked about how
it was just coming out of her. Like, you could see her being
like, yeah, I, I can, whatever. Which, you know, if Janelle's
doing that about a property, it probably is really speaking to
her. And Meri didn't seem to mind.
Like, she was like, yeah, I mean, sounds good.

(37:27):
Like, I don't think Meri was in love with it or anything.
I think she thought OK, like whatever.
I was unclear how they actually landed on OK, Janelle, you take
it like they didn't really necessarily say how the decision
was made for it. But yes, obviously Janelle loved
it and Meri was somewhat indifferent so.
Yeah. So it worked out.

(37:49):
Yeah. Robyn sat there on the couch
and, like, had a whole bunch of things to say apparently about
it. Yes, she did.
And she just sounded, she just sounded stupid.
Like I couldn't even put together the point she was
trying to make because she just sounded dumb.

(38:12):
It was a lot of whatever. It was a lot of whatever.
My take away was that I think she was trying to describe
Sister Wives sharing and prioritization, like
selflessness and sharing, acknowledging when give and
take. But what is also so cringe about

(38:32):
these moments is she's the one that just joined the family.
She's never been a sister wife before.
And the three women who have been sister wives for at least
16 years at this point are just kind of sitting there.
And it's like she's just doing this kind of Kody ish word salad
of just, you know, and when you share and when you care and then

(38:53):
when they care and then we care together and then.
I think what I remember was like, well, and then, you know
when it's important for her, andthen you know when it's
important for you. And I was like, duh.
Like, that's just life. Yeah.
Like. Oh, I just couldn't.

(39:15):
I could not one of the many times this episode that I just
could not with Robert. Amen.
She sounded like a preschooler trying to describe a problem or
a situation and like I gave it way too much justice by talking
about sharing and prioritization.
You 150% did because it was it was an actually my preschooler

(39:35):
could probably talk about his emotions better than she can.
So like it was the worst and I had to tune it out because
anyway. And also when the words are
coming out of her like Skeletor face, like I get that she's kind
of pretty. No excuse me, I take that back.
I get that she's not hideous, but the more that I'm looking at

(39:56):
her face while we're re watchingthis, I'm like, I don't even
like like the way it moves, likethe way the jaw opens and
closes, like the way she kind ofpulls it and like her teeth like
I I don't. You want to talk about
performative? It's like to even get a word out
of her mouth. Seems performative like that.
She's it's a lot. It's a lot to look at.

(40:19):
It it is a lot on all of those fronts and Jesus, and we're not
even halfway there, guys. Like this is just the beginning,
OK? This is just the.
Beginning There's so much more that.
Happens. This is literally the first
episode where I can say confidently.
Well, like we said earlier, we hate Robyn.
If you support Robyn after this,you need mental help.

(40:42):
So anyway. We'll put up a like a hotline
number. Or something.
If you or someone you know supports Robyn Brown, call 1800.
You know, help yourself. Yeah, 181800 shit.
Like good God, those are both good numbers.
Yeah. Robyn supporters.

(41:02):
They were the correct digits. I think we get a Fact Check from
someone. You guys can't even do math that
was those are the wrong. People.
No, it was 7. I think we're right.
We're right leaving the door open.
That we are right about. This I'm confident we.
Are no, I'm not always. Yeah, it's rare confidence that

(41:24):
we have that we are correct. Oh dear.
I feel the spirit of Robyn entering my body.
She's made us both ways stupiderjust from listening to.
Her. I just became really fucking
dumb. I feel Robyn inside of me.
Yeah, I am being possessed by the spirit of Robyn.

(41:47):
Bring me your dollies. Help me.
Help. Help me.
So then we're told that we're two weeks before they're out of
the rental. They only have the rental for
two more weeks. So Janelle's found a place.
Robyn's moved into her place, I think.
Are they packing up Janelle to move into her place or why are
they doing things? Because now we start talking

(42:08):
about how Mckelty is dressed andI'm wondering if looks like
they're packing and I'm wondering who they're packing.
Unclear. I don't know that I could tell
you OK one way or another what exactly is happening there.
Yeah, yes, I they, they do. Like they're doing things with
stuff, stuff with things. Like I feel a little like
they're packing up Janelle or something to get her into her

(42:30):
rental. And there's this discussion of
modesty, how Mckelty is dressed.So this becomes like a thing.
It's like this. Is like a this.
Is it? I'm like, where did this come
from? Like did I miss something?
Like I feel like all of a suddenthey're just talking about
modesty and how Mckelty is dressed.
So Christine starts going on somewhat of a tangent about how

(42:54):
the kids, every kid is differentin how they respond to the
stress of the mood or the this or that, and they have found
that Mckelty is acting out by the clothing choices.
Through modesty. Lack of modesty.
Lack of modesty and that she is choosing to express herself in

(43:20):
her clothing but in ways that apparently is not acceptable
like. Christine says she she doesn't
like clothes that are too low and she doesn't like clothes
that are too high. Right.
And I think one of them says there's like, a solid 2 feet.
Meri's like, oh, no more. And Kody's like, 5 feet.
I'd like to see 5 feet. So their bodies should be

(43:43):
clothed and covered. OK.
But then it's like, I don't really know what triggers this.
Maybe it's just that they had the footage of Mckelty, frankly.
But then they're like, you know,Mckelty, she acts out through
this way. And then Meri's on the kitchen
floor with boxes are doing something and Mckelty's bending
over to pick something up. Meri's like Mckelty, I'm going
to need you to go put on a different shirt.

(44:03):
I can see too much of your body and I am uncomfortable with
that. You need to go change your
shirt. And then we both are kind of
like, what? And then you look at Mckelty's
wearing. I noted that you could see her
collarbone. Right, like this was not.
It was like mid chest I mean. I there was 0 cleavage, 0

(44:24):
anything. Also it was like 4 shirts
layered on top of each other like we're.
Not. Talking like there was at least
2 tank tops, a titty coat of sorts and I'm really glad we got
to bring that back. And another layer like there
was. She had lots of clothing on you.

(44:47):
Could see her elbows. But when she leaned down to the
floor, yes, her shirt may have hung.
Yeah, a little bit. But like, what?
I was so confused. Yeah, I was so confused.
But Christine also said that shewas like, it's nice because I
don't have to be the only mom that's trying to tell her.

(45:08):
And then, yes, it cut to Meri being like, absolutely not the
Celtic. You go change right now.
Like she had been visually assaulted and it's like, OK,
well, the girl looks literally like conservative so, you know,
whatever. So and she's like, I don't like
being told what I can and cannot.
Wait, yes. It was totally one of those
moments. They don't tell me I don't like

(45:30):
it. It was it was funny because it's
like Mckelty will always take anopportunity to be sassy and do
it wrong. And there she did it wrong.
And then Robyn. Oh, Robyn.
Oh, got another gem from her. Jesus, like this bitch?
She went on a tangent about how certain things showing to boys

(45:57):
out there is a huge message to boys out there now.
OK, that that certainly is the lesson that we should teach our
daughters, right? Like.
They don't understand the signals they're sending to men
with what they're wearing. What?

(46:18):
These teenage girls, what they need to be taught something or
something. What signals does your clothing
send to men? Because I don't know like.
Yeah. No, yeah.
Oh I was fucking livid and I can't even find the right words
to like describe why I'm so livid.

(46:40):
Yeah, it's like, it's like blamethe victim light, basically.
It's like what? She was asking for it.
She was dressed like that. Like you're asking for men to be
inappropriate because look at you, you're showing off your
collarbone. Right.
And and the choices that you make about your own body, Yeah,
like, like you have no bodily autonomy.
Yeah. Because what you do with this
body effects how men. Men cannot control.
Are going to and will respond toyou like throughout life and.

(47:04):
You're responsible for managing and navigating that.
Correct, you are responsible forthinking about how men will
decide to treat you based on what you shut the fuck up like.
It's gross, it's so repressive and it's a little weird because
like the topic like of course, the most people probably don't

(47:25):
want their teenage girls dressedin all slutty.
OK, like Amen. But this is not that example.
Like this was insane. Yes, but I even anyway.
I know. Yeah, I'm like I.
Know, I know, and I don't mean to oversimplify it, but most
people don't want their teenage daughters dressing

(47:46):
inappropriately to them, and that's somewhat.
And there is tasteful and correct ways like I get that I
have had, trust me, I have seen the ways girls are dressed at
times and thought I don't know that I would be comfortable with
that if I was your parent. I think as a parent, yes, you
can want to do whatever you wantto do to protect your child, OK?

(48:06):
Because you know that there are men in the world that do
terrible things and you don't want your your child to be a
target of that. And so, yes, you may do things
to protect them from these terrible people out there in the
world, but you don't put the onus on the child to do that.

(48:27):
And you don't tell them that theway that they're doing that
could open the doors for things to happen happen to you.
You don't do that, you know, like.
Yes, definitely enforce, at least at the minimum, that other
people's choices are their choices and their actions are
their actions. You are not responsible for
them. Like you can just say I don't
want you to dress like that. And it's because I don't want

(48:49):
you to dress like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It doesn't have to be like because the lesson is men can't
control themselves and you'll have to deal with that for the
rest. Of your life, that that's not a
point that should be said to young women, ever.
Agreed. Fuck all the way off, Robyn.
Fuck all the way off. Yeah, and these people are in a
cult. It's easy to forget that these
are cult members. Just made me man.
I did make note of how on the couch with the adults are

(49:12):
talking about things. Janelle looks like she just
rolled out of bed. So Janelle's glasses are maybe
they could use a wiping, you know, her hair is like.
Now her hair was all over the place.
Her hair was a mess, she just itlooked like the girl could have
used to shower and brushed her teeth and like came to work

(49:34):
she's. Been cooking those books for
days. She's been writing in her
journal a lot. We do see her writing in her
journal later. And by the way, lovely
penmanship. Very much so.
That's a lost art. They don't.
Teach cursive. Can't even read that shit
nowadays. Let's go in a tangent about
that. I've told you that you.
Should be teaching these girls that it's their fault for this.

(49:55):
You should be teaching them how to read cursive.
Amen. So I'm I don't sorry, I have to
say it. You know when you're going to be
interviewed on TV, you got to take a shower.
So Mona finds a rental for Christine.
That's great. It's a wonderful news.
Everyone's so excited. Well, because Christine was not

(50:16):
going to settle. Oh, was she expecting to settle?
Well, no, they kind of go off onthis like little thing about how
long it had been taking and, youknow, it was really stressful
because the they were coming down to the wire, but but she
was not going to just settle andeverybody agreed that Christine
shouldn't just settle and. Especially after being sent that

(50:40):
video via cell phone of that priMeri bedroom.
She knew that she needed a bedroom.
She needed a house with a bedroom.
She wanted to get what she wanted and deserved and she made
that super clear. And then yes, Mona found this
house and Christine goes see, God loves us.
Oh yeah, Amen. I mean, she just felt great

(51:03):
about that. You know God works in mysterious
ways. Fucking a right?
Christine, they get this rental for Christine.
And then the next thing I noticed was just like how much
packing and moving there was andthey're going to get into this
in the next step about Robyn andMeri returning to Utah to pick

(51:24):
up more things. But they didn't quite, they
showed us footage, I think of things from Utah before they
brought it up because they're moving into Christine's place
and there's all this shit, there's all this stuff.
And I was like, what is all thisstuff?
Where is this coming from? Because I thought they only had
a thing that they had to put into storage.
Like why? Why is all this furniture?
Well, OK, we're moving Christineinto her place.

(51:46):
Cut to then Robyn and Meri starttalking about how they return to
Lehigh to get furniture and petsfrom the compound.
So I miss that part. I didn't know until you said
that right now that they had gone back to Lehigh.
Oh shit, I didn't realize that. So that makes so much sense
because I was lost and confused for a little bit because then
all of a sudden they just started talking about their

(52:07):
special bond. And I was like what transition
did I miss here and that? And it was a sloppy one.
Basically, Christine, she gets her house, she gets her rental.
They're moving all these things in.
And I, you know, Chris, I'm sitting here going, where's all
the shit coming from? But they're moving in.
And then it's like Marion, I decided to go back to Lehine to

(52:27):
get our furniture and our pets. And I'm like, okay, like, Oh my
God, like hurts my head, but sounds good.
And. Why is it Marion Robyn going?
Why is Kody not going? Why is Kody not going?
Yeah, I don't know. Why are your two wives going to
move your furniture? Well, and I do feel like even

(52:48):
earlier in the episode, he says something about none of them
having jobs like that. They all quit their job.
Like they acknowledge they all quit their jobs.
But I think he made a special point to be like, it's a career
change for me. I have nothing going on or
whatever. Like, so I don't know what he
would be doing. I don't know.
I don't know anyway. But on the couch, that's where
Meri and Robyn start having these conversations.

(53:09):
OK, so this is some stuff. Now, my favorite first quote is
from Meri. I think people may think Robyn
is coming in as some sort of mistress or a home wrecker, but
she's not. And I'm like, oh, so was this a
narrative that we really just have been glossing over on the
show that she is a mistress and a home wrecker?

(53:31):
Because I know we talked about the wives being uncomfortable
about another wife, but like, this narrative already exists
that she's a mistress and a homewrecker apparently.
Was so confused about where she got these words from, like and,
and, and even if it was a thing before, which I don't think so.

(53:53):
I feel like she's trying to say that people can't understand
that another wife comes in rightlike that, that that we all
would just be fine with another wife coming in.
Surely there's something else behind it, like she's a mistress
or a home wrecker or something, right?
Like like that, that that's whatpeople in some fashion, they

(54:17):
just can't fathom that they opentheir home to another wife
coming into the family. I think that's what she's trying
to say. Because from her perspective,
this is the fourth wife. I mean, this has happened right
before. So but this mistress and home
wrecker thing, like even if that's something that somebody
has out there or that they've had a question about the way

(54:39):
that she just said it. And also there's a visual of
what is happening when Meri and Robyn are on the couch together.
First of all, they're like Uber close as they always are.
But then they're like gazing at each other like as they're
having this talk and there's like these lovey dovey eyes.
But then the words that are coming out are mistress and home
wrecker. And I'm just very confused.

(55:02):
I don't know why she would repeat those words.
I don't know why Robyn wasn't like what the fuck?
Like I. It was bizarre.
And it I'm wondering what order these things were actually said
versus what production gave us. And, you know, as an edit,
because they're part of their conversations.

(55:24):
Yes, are are lovey dovey. But then also like Meri starts
talking about being on a downward spiral when Robyn.
Yeah, when Robyn and Kody are courting.
So it's like they're talking about the conflicts or the not
the conflicts even like there are just emotional struggles.
I guess the way they're feeling about things and Meri's things

(55:45):
are a bit, I mean literally likedownward spiral home wrecker
mistress. Like this vocabulary is not
flattering. I kind of don't understand where
this conversation came from. I guess it's because they just
went to Utah together and so they're talking about their
relationship. I think that was it.
I think they were talking about their special quote, UN quote
special bond, but then went through how.

(56:06):
And of course they make it seem like there's this 20 year
history. It's been less than a year, OK,
but that it was a roller coasterride for Meri.
She said that she made some reference to the fact that she
had introduced them and then their relationship started to

(56:27):
like Blossom and she felt unneeded.
OK, so then she just felt tossedaside and Robyn at some point
said that she had neglected her relationships with her sister
wives. So her focus was sucking Kody's
Dick and not caring about building up those relationships.

(56:50):
And Meri felt, I think A had allof her jealousy feelings, but
then B felt a bit slighted by Robyn at first.
So I think they're completing this circle, right, of how
they've worked on their relationship and now they have
this special bond, but it was not always there and there was

(57:12):
some hurt feelings. Meri and Robyn's initial
connection was strong or whatever in this platonic way,
in the friendship way. And then Kody, in my opinion,
probably took advantage of that to make it be like, oh, Meri,
you know, look, she's meant for us.
Like she's part of. Do you think she's supposed to
be part of our family? Do you think she's supposed to
be our next wife? And Meri was probably like,

(57:34):
yeah, like, I'm enthusiastic. I like her.
I could be friends with a sisterwife.
And then they hit it off and allof a sudden Meri's 3rd, we all
left wherever and she's like jealous and whatever.
And so I don't know, the one thing that I'm going to say
about this conversation as well is that I get annoyed because we
hear about Meri's jealousy. We hear about these things and

(57:54):
then it's like she says, but nowwe're in a good place.
By the time the investigation started, luckily we were in a
good place. So everything was fine.
And I'm going, how, how did thishappen?
They never give any details about their relationships.
She says words like, oh, you know, it was we're the real
deal. Like the real deal or like it
just these words like. Hold on, hold on.

(58:18):
It's they want these relationships to be deep.
Deep and real. Thank you.
And I wrote real RILL. OK, yes, yes, deep and real.
And I said real because you toldyou corrected me about the real.
It's not real, it's real real. But yeah, like, these are, these

(58:39):
don't mean anything, like deep and real, you know?
Oh my God, I'm jealous. But now we're perfect and we're
fine. There's never any details about
the journey. There's never any like discovery
things about like how they got to this place.
It's all word salad. It's ridiculous.
And don't you think there is a level to it that the reason,

(59:01):
Meri, maybe we've talked about this before, but I don't recall
that Meri So because Leon is older and she has not continued
to have kids, but Christine and Janelle have continued to have
kids and have like the young girls together, right?
That they again are more involved in each other's
everyday. Like Christine and Janelle very

(59:22):
involved in each other's everyday.
Meri not so much. So she was third Wheeling in a
bit already, right? And so new wife comes in and she
certainly helps facilitate it, gets in early on building that
relationship with new wife triesto be buddy buddy, lovey, dovey
huggy, kissy, all the things so that she now has her partner in

(59:44):
crime. Doesn't see that play out the
way that she wants it to, you know, has all these other
thoughts, feelings and opinions.And so she's like, what the
fuck? Now I've been I'm on the back
burner all over the place. And you know, so I think there
it's such a spectrum of. Well, and that totally makes
sense. And I think she does kind of

(01:00:06):
paint that picture, but that paint a picture, a picture, but
I still don't understand how. Then it's like, oh, but then
luckily by the time the investigation happened, we were
fine. So now we're good and it's like.
And that the investigation made them stronger.
Pulleys. Pulleys.

(01:00:28):
Yeah, there's a lot of rose colored glasses things.
Bunch of bullshit, bunch of bullshit.
Ridiculous. Then apparently we cut to 10
days before the vacation rental is done.
Yes, I'm already stressed about this.
There's only 10 days left. I know I'm stressed about the
conversation and what they talk about here.
This is so uncomfortable. It is, it is.

(01:00:50):
I mean, they do start, I think with some just like high level
bullet points that they found Meri a rental and that her
rental is a mile away from wherethe other sister Wives homes are
in this neighborhood. The other sister wives homes are
not next door, but like close enough.
You know, they're talking about how Meri's rent is as much as
Christine and Janelle's and thatshe only has one child.

(01:01:13):
Kody references that there is aninexpensive home next to where
Robyn is renting and how he kindof doesn't understand why how
she only has one child, that hercost of living wouldn't be less
than his other wives because sheonly has one child.
Not only does he. So first, he doesn't use the
word inexpensive. He uses the word there is a.

(01:01:34):
Cheap. I know.
I think I could say cheap, yeah.By Robyn.
And it probably was cheap. And then there's that, like he's
just saying these things super matter of factly on the couch
and Meri is at the end. So there's Meri and then is it
Robyn next? It's Robyn next to her, because

(01:01:58):
then Robyn starts speaking for her in a little bit, which is
lovely, but and. Then Kobe and then the others.
And then yes, and she starts crying and she's like wiping her
eyes with like the corners of her shirt and whatever else.
And he looks at her and he goes,Are you taking this personally?
Yeah. Well, he thinks you should live

(01:02:19):
in a cheap house. And Christine was like, well, I
would be, yeah, yeah. I mean, what the fuck?
Yeah, yeah. And he's definitely talking
about it. Very, I mean, very matter of
fact, yes. But also what's interesting
about a couch moment is that this is in the future.
Like he's not talking about realtime.
Like he's not having this conversation with her about
getting a cheap house. He's talking about how when he

(01:02:41):
asked her to get a cheap house, like he's so dense that he's
actually referencing it in this way and it's already happened.
Like he should be wise enough tonot talk about it like this.
Correct, because it clearly was a thing then and it's still a
thing now. She's crying and.
And he's asking if it's like a deal.
Now, I there's a level of this that I understand, like in

(01:03:04):
practicality, right, there is a level of, yes, it would not make
sense for the smallest sector ofthe family to like get the
biggest home while another part of the family is squishing into
like the shoebox. That wouldn't make sense.
OK. And so there's there's a time
and a place in which sizes and dollars and things could be a

(01:03:28):
conversation, but the implication of her her what it
is worth to pay for her to live in a comfortable home because
she has less children is just horrible and insulting and like

(01:03:49):
fuck all the way off Kody and then also Robyn for what she
does like. Well, this is it.
So before we get into Robyn, I'mgoing to give Janelle her
flowers for this moment because she points out and Janelle is
not a member of the Meri Fan club.
OK? Janelle is not like, you know,
sign me up for defending Meri atall hours of the day and night.

(01:04:09):
But she says, you know, Meri tried for two weeks to look for
a lesser, expensive place and a smaller place like Meri was.
I'm sure this the day they all started with their track.
Meri probably found things she liked and prioritized the
smaller and the lesser. And Janelle's at least giving
her that moment of recognition, which I am giving Janelle small

(01:04:31):
handclaps for because she doesn't need to.
And she's doing it in good faith, I think.
Well, and I, I think it's important to know because there
are other times when we get, youknow, further down the line that
Meri does, I'm going to say to an extent, stick up for herself
a bit in, in saying, I think I do deserve these things.

(01:04:54):
And so, you know, but then thereare times that it makes her seem
unreasonable as well. So it's.
And there are times where Janelle will question that
because she will be like, is this really necessary?
Because she's really rational inthat way.
She's. Saying that's not what happened
to her. That's not.
So she's sticking up for Meri because she's probably feeling
the temperature sense in the room and being like, I got to

(01:05:15):
give marry this because this is true.
Because what we're going to transition into now is some
Robyn Madness bullshit. Fuck Robyn.
The the balls on this woman. What was she thinking?
So instead of acknowledging whatMeri was saying because Meri was
hurt, she she said, I feel like because I have less kids, my

(01:05:40):
worth is not as great as the rest, right?
Like, I don't know if it was those exact words, but that was
what what she said. And Robyn with her hand around
her back, patting her shoulders,You know, Lovey Dovey said,
well, that's not really what shemeans.
What she means is she's sad thatshe was never able to have more

(01:06:04):
kids. Yeah.
But that's not what she means. Yeah, I think Meri meant what
she was saying. Yeah, that stupidness.
Robyn thinks that Meri's upset about not having more children.
And not upset about what they'redoing and how they're making her
feel right now. Right, which she already stated.

(01:06:25):
So Meri doesn't say what Robyn'ssaying at all.
Meri's concerned about, I think,a perceived thing about her
getting too much, considering that she only has one child.
Like she recognizes the math. She sees this.
She's just going like, I don't know, I don't want to be
perceived as someone who's asking for too much.
I just want what I think is like, OK for me.
And she kind of states that. Because her husband just said

(01:06:49):
yes. I can't fathom spending the same
amount of money on a house for you and our one child as I am
for my other two wives and theirsix children.
Yes, you should have a cheap. House I can't fathom you should
have a cheap house. So that was said to and done to
her and now this is the what, atleast second time she's having

(01:07:09):
to relive this feeling? Yes, yes.
And Robyn is trying to summarizeher feelings for her and
actually not doing it at all andbeing ridiculous.
It's one thing to try to and shedoes this thing, she speaks
Kody. She tries to think that she's
has this emotional intelligence where she can speak for other

(01:07:30):
people. And it's like, that was not it
at all. And it's a little weird because
it's not even really addressed, I guess.
Like I was just upset that it was happening because it was
upsetting. It was bullshit.
But then they just kind of move on.
Like no one calls her to the table.
No one says like that actually. Why are you doing that?
At least that we see. But also like, if I was Meri, I

(01:07:51):
would have turned to her and I would have said I obviously
wanted more kids. But right now I'm mad because
you're punishing me for you're telling me I should live in a
cheap house because I was not able to have more children so.

(01:08:14):
Like I'm not clearly not upset right now about having more
children or not like it. Has nothing to do with that and.
It's super obvious that that's not the case.
It's. It's how you're fucking making
me feel about it. Yeah.
Yeah. Right now.
About what home I am worthy of living in.
Yeah. Fuck all the way off, all of
you. You know, like, wow.
It was hard to watch. Robyn is really, really just

(01:08:37):
gross. It's hard to watch and she's
like thinks she's being all cunning or not that she's been
cunning. She's trying.
She's manipulating situations. She's trying.
She's trying to manipulate situations and she is getting
away with it on some level. People are not calling her out.
People are not correcting her. She's doing this shit with Kody
alone and driving that she is the neck on that head.

(01:08:59):
And these other women, I don't know what they're staring off in
the distance. I don't know what they're doing.
That was. But, you know, I got to get
married. Oh, God, I don't got to get Meri
anything. But she does wrap it up with a
comment about how, you know, trying to be a little brevity or
whatever. And she says, you know, well, I
hope that I can host Thanksgiving.
And I thought it was so funny because I was like, oh, this is

(01:09:22):
what's so complicated about these relationships.
Like even right then working that in as a thing to be like,
maybe I she does want to host Thanksgiving.
I like hosting Thanksgiving. I want to host Thanksgiving.
You want Christmas, take Christmas.
I don't care. I want to host Thanksgiving.
Three other wives, Yes, You're going to lay claim to
Thanksgiving right here, right now after crying, who's going to

(01:09:42):
say no? Like, it's so interesting to see
these dynamics. But she wants Thanksgiving, and
I don't blame her. Well, listen, Thanksgiving.
I love that she called that and like completely perfect time to
do so as well because she just got put through the wringer he
was going to fight her. On Fuck You Robyn, I get
Thanksgiving. Yes, exactly.
Exactly. And, you know, Kody at one point

(01:10:03):
did say he was being a jerk about the whole like he said I
was being a jerk. And so we had to, you know,
whatever. And like, OK, you acknowledge
it, but you still were like a double extra jerk with how you
just talked about it right now. Like, that was horrible.
But that was one of the things they said about the house
because, yes, there was all thisquestioning if it was too much
of A house for Meri to get, apparently.

(01:10:25):
But they all like praised this big spaces that they're going to
have for the whole family to come and get together at her
house. Like they had all of these
things they loved about it. And it's so I'm like, why?
Where was the bad in any of thisshort of the dollars?
And yes, you can say that we hada budget and unfortunately this
one was over it. But like, you don't, it was just

(01:10:46):
also unnecessary. I just, it's which of course
everything like that is unnecessary with these people.
Like I cannot. But they all have houses and
they're all happy and they all love them.
They all got rentals in 30 days.They all like their homes.
Robyn is not to be trusted. God.
No, fuck that bitch. So now, randomly, we're going to
talk about a block party. I'm so confused.

(01:11:08):
So randomly there's a block party.
Now we've. Barely moved.
They don't, they don't tell us about this.
They don't give us details. But yeah, we're Robyn and
Christine live on the same St. in this neighborhood.
And so the vibe is, why not havea party because they moved in.
Meanwhile, cut to no, they're not actually hosting the block
party. Edna.

(01:11:28):
Edna, neighbor Edna, she's throwing the block party, which
they don't start with. So of course, I'm kind of
wondering what would you move in?
Do you just throw a block party?No, Edna's throwing the block
party, and she says that she wasless than gracious when she met
them. Everyone calls me Grandma Edna.
Edna. Now, the one thing that's funny

(01:11:49):
is, you know, she gives us this example.
I'm going to tell your kids to get out of the street, the cars.
They're playing with the neighbor.
Oh, you know, oh gosh, like I just love that she would tell my
kids to get out of the street. Edna's pushy.
Yes, Edna is the know it all older lady neighbor.
I don't think Edna and I would be friends.
I think Edna and you would clash.
I think we would. I don't even have a child and I

(01:12:11):
think after a couple weeks I'd be like, I've had enough of you,
Edna. Like we're done.
We're done, yes. And from small towns in the
Midwest, you know, there are plenty of women that would be
like, oh, you know, I love Edna.And she tells it to you real.
And it's like, no, Edna's kind of a bitch, but that's fine.
Edna's kind of a bitch, but if you want to get the dirt, go to
Edna. You know, like you, you could.
Pretend to be friends with Edna.Right.
You don't burn the bridge, but you don't cross it that often, I

(01:12:35):
think is what happened. That's good.
That's good. Wow.
That was good. That was good, yeah.
Well, Edna's daughter told her she was being mean to to judge
the Browns and so that's why nowshe doesn't.
That's really great. And they embrace All in all the
things, right? And that was Kody said.
Embrace all. Well, Kody.

(01:12:57):
Kody likes to crack jokes. Kody likes to crack jokes.
Do you want to tell us about Kody's joke?
So no, actually I don't know that I heard, I heard the I
heard part of it, but I didn't. I just knew that I cringed and
did the like that didn't. Happen The piece together

(01:13:19):
version is that one of the neighbors had a daughter or a
stepdaughter who is like a teenage girl and Kody asked
something like, oh, is this yourwife or your girlfriend?
He said no, it's my daughter, mystepdaughter.
He was like, oh, you know, there's something about with
polygamist men, like a joke about something with a
polygamist man and a 14 year oldwife.
Right. It's hard to decipher what he
actually says. It's really is, but you know it

(01:13:42):
doesn't land well. No.
He acknowledges that it was not a good joke.
And all the wives are like, oh. Christine called it
embarrassing. Yeah, yeah.
He was shaking his head. Like, yes, we don't.
Yeah, we don't joke about pedophilia.
Like, I don't know why we we we just don't do that.
Yeah, it's not funny. Yeah, you know, one of the

(01:14:06):
neighbors is being interviewed and like.
What a lovely impression. Right.
Well, this is because, you know,there's a way to be deprecating
and then there's a way to be like, we are felons, right?
I'm like, that's not that funny.Right, like you.
You remember those rumors that Imarried teenage girls?
You remember those things? Yeah.
Oh, no, that's not real. But I'll talk about it.
Yeah, not funny. And ask you if your daughter is

(01:14:26):
your wife? Yeah.
Jesus. Kody Brown, the neighbor that
they're interviewing, that this block party says that
polygamists will have to answer to God themselves about their
choices and whatever. And you know, you can't love
more than one woman, That's lust, blah blah blah.
Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Eve and his other

(01:14:47):
three wives. Or Adam Steve.
I know. I felt like it was, you know,
unfortunately like a lame and limited example of someone's
like whatever, but they do, you know, Of course, by the end
he's, you know, but I guess they're just like us or
something. I don't even know.
Well, I think Kody or one of them Kody or one of the wives
had said something about how, you know, we meet all these

(01:15:09):
people. We never really know what they
think about us. A lot of times people are nice
to our face and then what they say behind our backs, Yeah, is
definitely not nice. And I think this was a pretty
good example of that. Yeah.
True happening, yes. It's not love.
It's lost. Like, OK.
I mean, he certainly had very, very strong opinions about that.

(01:15:34):
No one should have more than one.
Yeah, but also seemed a bit likestanding on what?
Like it just was kind of some bullshit stuff.
I was just like, OK, cool, I'm listening to an uneducated
person talk about something. And he probably cheats on his
wife, you know? Well, right.
Like, I'm sure he's not a Sinnerat all, so whatever.
Yes, we get another lovely quotefrom Robyn.
Talking Robyn. You know, her rationales,

(01:15:57):
they're just glowing. And I love how she makes
statements. She makes these statements.
Well, she's not the only wife. They make statements sometimes
about things as if these are thethings people assume or this is
the way people are and it just doesn't make any sense.
So talking about how prostitutesare cheaper than wives.
So it's like, who's inviting this comparison?

(01:16:20):
It's like she volunteers these comparisons that actually make
things worse because they are soextreme and strange.
I don't know people that are thinking, well I don't know that
polygamy should be legal, but I support men having multiple
prostitutes that they. I just don't even get it.
It's it's dumb, it's dumb, she'sstupid, she's an idiot.

(01:16:43):
She then like be labours the point in the most obtuse way by
saying it's not Utah and it's not Mormons, it's not or it's
Vegas. And then she says I made my I
made myself not judge my neighbors.

(01:17:04):
Yes, yes, I made myself. Now what you can see from their
neighbors is that they are a very diverse group of people,
right? I mean, we have people of color,
we have mixed bag, totally mixedbag, probably quite a bit more
diverse than where they came from.
But when she is saying she had to make herself not judge them,

(01:17:29):
she I mean like, are you admitting your racism?
Are you, what? Are you forcing yourself to not
judge because something about this you would be judging What?
What is it? Can you tell us what that would
be? Yeah.
That you are judging, That you're making yourself not.
Well, in your. Cult.
Bit these people are all problematic, right?

(01:17:49):
So. Yeah, I just, it's like you
idiot. Yeah, but I feel like her hope
was that the take away would be that she's not judging neighbors
and hope that they don't judge her.
Like, I feel like that's the wayshe's pitching it even, or what
she's trying to get across, eventhough what she's saying is I
made myself not judge people. It's like, OK, interesting way

(01:18:11):
to say that. They're very judgmental, the
AUB, I mean, like, everybody's sinners, everybody's horrible,
everybody's terrible. That's the whole thing.
And their whole culture is like everyone else is, terrible
Scientology. It's like they say the quiet
part out loud all the time and I'm like just shut the fuck up
like you jackasses. Oh, Robyn.

(01:18:33):
Oh, and apparently the block party was uncomfortable.
Yeah, well. That's all we get.
Yeah, Is that it was uncomfortable.
It looked lovely, looked like a fun time.
I think Edna probably had some things to say at the end, yeah.
I don't know. But once the Browns left, Edna
gave everybody the truth. They were bummed because they
didn't all get to go back to thesame house.

(01:18:54):
That was interesting. Yeah, I thought.
Yep, they all went to their separate rentals instead of the
same home I think. I don't remember if it was
marriage and I'll talk about like, yeah, we might even end up
around a table or something likein the back in their old place.
They'd still be partying, yeah. Like they'd keep, you know,
whatever. And I think this was like that

(01:19:16):
beginning realization of the dramatic change of where they're
at, right? Cuz they're what on day?
Well, month one basically. In some fashion within the Yeah
month, yeah. You know so.
You know, they reiterate again about how they all wish that
they were closer. That's kind of a common thread,
obviously in this episode. In the last, they all wish they
were closer. Meri talks about being a mile

(01:19:37):
away from everyone and how she'sprimarily concerned about the
distance for Leon and being close to their siblings.
But she kind of gives us some kernels of how she's liking her
independence. She's not minding her alone
time. She's going to have to unpack so
she wouldn't have as much free time to chat like she normally
would, which I'm like, interesting.

(01:20:00):
And then there's a level of Robyn like guilting her about
the distance that she is. Robyn is like mad that she's
over a mile away because she knows that this is what Meri's
going to do or something. And she's she's laying on some
sort of, I wish I could think ofthe the like actual words, but

(01:20:21):
the, the implication or the feeling that I got was Robyn
scolding Meri and, and Meri's like, well, it's not like I
wanted to be this far away. It's just all I could find.
But I think. It ties back to the cheap house.
Robyn wanted Meri to be in the cheap house next to her.
Yeah, that makes sense and. She's pissed and she's going to

(01:20:42):
keep giving her a guilt trip about it, you know?
Oh God. Yeah, and Meri is the one that's
a mile away. Yeah.
Oh, God, the pieces coming together.
Janelle talks about already feeling a bit lonely in the
evenings. They show that footage of her
writing in her journal. Penmanship with that wonderful
penmanship. Straight lines, Yes.

(01:21:04):
And they literally, I mean, it is they used the right footage.
I mean, she's sitting like, on acouch alone in her living room,
like writing a notebook. Like, she literally looked like
she's like, I'm all alone. It's like, yeah, they really did
find the footage of that. We should have paused it and
read what she was. Writing well, we we can go
somebody online has already. Done that, yes.

(01:21:24):
I'm sure. Yeah, she said.
It was kind of quiet, you know? So they're all having like
these, these first moments and experiences in their homes and
this new adjustment. And she thinks it's quiet, you
know, but not necessarily that she hates it, just that it's
different. Oh, Christine was, she thought

(01:21:45):
she was already starting to havesome concerns about whether
everybody would put forth the effort that would be needed to
maintain their relationships, right?
Will will the distance and the this and the that make it harder
for everybody, right. So Christine was already kind of
having some of those thoughts. Yeah, questioning whether it's
better to have more focused, singular time with Kody, like

(01:22:06):
one day every four days, and having it be more about you
versus seeing him more regularlybut it being more sporadic.
Janelle reiterates that she's worried about them being
separated. Meri and Christine both talk
about developing schedules and having independence.
Like these kind of themes are woven into this conversation and

(01:22:27):
kind of said in just different ways.
Yep, Yep. And I think that, I mean, I
guess we don't know yet how it is for Christine and Janelle's
relationship because they're further apart.
Janelle's not working right now,right?
And obviously this is a temporary solution, so I don't
remember how long they're in these houses.
Is it a year? Maybe, I don't know.
I don't know, but the distance, you know, so Christine has like

(01:22:51):
this whole new routine just withher kids that she's loving,
right. Like she, they they sing prayers
every night and they do all the stuff and that is going well.
When they're talking about this,Kody actually like pauses them
for a second and, and actually asks Christine and Meri, wait a

(01:23:13):
minute. So you actually feel like you
are getting more like out of me from me in this current
arrangement. And they both said absolutely.
And he was surprised. Like he said, wow.
And I don't know if that's a good wow or a bad wow.
I. Because I don't know that he

(01:23:33):
wants that. I mean, why would you want that?
Why would you want your spouse to be like no, the less of you I
see this better. It was, it was just weird.
So they're all, yes, they're alladjusting to this transition.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't remember exactly what
Kody said, but he definitely shares concern about these
separate homes. Like his vibe is overall like,
I'm not so sure that I want thisfor my family.

(01:23:55):
Yeah. Yeah, there are red flags.
Happening the scene of Christinepraying with the daughters, it
was interesting because she references that as like, it's a
daily thing that we do now. We pray every night.
And I didn't expect for them to cut into this scene or this
clip, I guess, of the girls singing and praying.
And it was a little weird. It was, I didn't know if it like

(01:24:17):
touched me, like made me feel like it's cute that they're
doing that. And maybe it's because I was
just like raised in like a Christian upbringing, like in a
house. But like there's something about
like prayer time and them havinga melody and then my kids voices
where it's like it's a little eerie and it's a little also
like heartwarming and I don't know what it means.

(01:24:39):
And does this mean anything to you?
I think that if they had showed us half the length of time of
the prayer, like if it was even maybe her just like voice over
ring of it, but it like seemed like it went on a.
Lot it did go on, yes. It was like almost that they, it

(01:24:59):
was probably one song or something that they did.
I don't know, but it seems like a drug on and on and on.
And it did start to feel a little awkward.
But I feel like if we'd just gotten a glimpse, yeah, it
wouldn't have felt as culty for sure.
I think it got the cultyness at the end and that was what was.
Well, this is it. Because at first I was like, oh,
I'm glad they're showing this. And then by the end I was like,
I feel like it's a little weird.Yes, OK, yes.

(01:25:20):
But I wasn't alone in that. Yes, I'm going to.
I'm going to agree with you. Yeah.
Well then we get our king and our queen of the castle.
Oh my. God.
The two most repulsive humans onthe planet, Robyn.
Robyn and Kody. And, and they're having dinner
at the start of this and I don'teven remember where it goes from
there, but did you see the the meal?

(01:25:42):
I I only I saw that there was food on plates, but I didn't get
to see what it was. OK, well it was lasagna.
OK so our noodle marinara and cheese sticks.
But it was lasagna with cheddar cheese on top.
Like yellow? Cheese.
Yellow cheese, yeah, but I don'tknow about you, but I have never

(01:26:03):
done lasagna with yellow cheese.No, no, no.
So that was an interesting choice.
Yeah, it tracks. Yep, noodles, marinara and
cheese. Oh God, Yep, cooking with Robyn,
ruining recipes with Robyn. Yeah, she's got some fucked up
shit, but yeah, we have to like hear from Robyn and Kody again.

(01:26:25):
So at this point of the episode,I'm going, what the hell is
going on? Because it is our last episode
of the season. And I'm like, they're still
going. Like they're still going.
So now all of a sudden Robyn andKody are on the couch and they
basically burst into circling back to the not burst into.
But you know, Kody's like we have a bun in the oven.
Like it it just like all of a sudden she's pregnant.

(01:26:47):
You know, they've been keeping it a secret for some time.
And it's like, well, I thought you just moved here and I
thought you couldn't be pregnantbecause you were in such duress.
But now you've been pregnant forsome time and keeping it a
secret. So the math doesn't math, of
course. Well, the baby's due in October.
OK. So I was trying to piece
together because there was stillsnow on the ground when they

(01:27:08):
left. And so I'm thinking like, did
you move in March, right and. It was like about school gear
stuff. So none of this.
Makes any sense? And so I am going, OK, so let's
say it was February or March, right?
That would have meant that she got pregnant like at Christmas,
right? Like she got pregnant at

(01:27:29):
Christmas at the cabin before they'd moved, before any of this
happened. Yeah mate, obviously didn't know
right away I'm sure, but found out at some point pretty close
after that. So they she's been pregnant this
entire time? Yeah, while they moved.
They've been doing this move thing not having told anyone,
which is also fine. I I think that that is their

(01:27:51):
decision to make, but but now we're adding this level of lie
on top of it about how we could not tried this.
We held off so long for all of these, you fucking liars.
Yeah, they didn't. I just why are we lying about
stupid trivial fucking bullshit?No, Robyn was a cum dump on

(01:28:16):
Christmas and we all know it. So she got pregnant and that was
that. And now you know, they're
talking about it. And oh Meri, I was worried about
Meri how she would take the news.
So she wants to tell. Talk to her early.
Well, that's so nice, Robyn. So sweet.
She cares about Meri so much, soshe wants to tell Meri that
she's pregnant before they tell everybody else.

(01:28:38):
Now they're foreshadowing some night Meri's hosting everybody
there. This is going to happen for a
dinner. I can't remember why.
Do you remember why? I I don't remember.
So Meri's hosting everyone and it might even just be a like,
hey, she settled into the home or there's some sort of
gathering and that's going to happen.
So Meri's going to have everyoneover for a dinner at her house,

(01:29:00):
and Robyn has decided that this is a great time to go over and
to talk to Meri first. She does reference things like
she's hoping to include Meri andyou know, and prepping for
having a baby. Like because Meri hasn't had
more children, I'm hoping I can share this experience with her.
Well, one of the things that shesays is that Meri's body won't
let her have, yes, another baby.This is not the first time she's

(01:29:23):
also phrased it that way. And.
That maybe to some people that'san OK way to phrase it, yes.
Obviously Meri is not physicallyable to get pregnant at this
time. However, that's still just
implying there's something wrongwith her.
Yeah, it feels. And it, it seems like a dig and

(01:29:45):
I don't like it. And it's, I mean, just layers
upon layers upon layers of this bitch being a fucking bitch
today. Like it's not.
So much. Handle it and I'm just every
single thing she's. Robyn is no friend to anyone on
this show. No.
Oh, but she wants to rejoice with Meri and and then super

(01:30:06):
important. She wants to do cool things.
Oh, cool things. She wants to rejoice and do cool
things right with Meri. Oh.
Wonderful. So super intelligent there,
Robyn. Yeah.
You had alluded or you said it earlier too though, right?
Like it seemed like we were still going and going and going.
Like there was so much. Right.
I felt like we were being introduced to another storyline

(01:30:29):
and really it's like, OK, Robyn's talking about how she's
thinking that she wants to tell Meri early that she's pregnant.
She wants to tell Meri before everyone else as like a
courtesy, as a sensitivity, as awhatnot.
And she's hoping Meri will participate in these things.
So she's going to go over to Meri's house before everyone
else arrives to speak to her. She also says an interesting

(01:30:52):
thing, which maybe if it came from like Christine or Janelle,
I wouldn't have hated it, but coming from this bitch, I do.
She said that to an extent a a sister wives pregnancy is a
reminder that your husband is intimate with his other wives.

(01:31:14):
I mean, these most of these women are popping out babies
left and right. So I feel like they've
desensitized that a little bit. I don't know but it.
Is her first child with him. Well, yes, but I also just think
it's kind of an example of Robynwanting that to be something
that's thought about, you know, like not necessarily them being

(01:31:35):
intimate, but like that, oh, youknow, they're going to.
All they're going to see is Kodypowing me.
Right, yes, like a victim nest to her about.
And she is the one who has neverbeen a fucking sister wife.
So she's once again, oh, the sister wives, This is how it
must be. And it's like they're the sister
wives. You are.
New, right? She is so fucking dumb.

(01:31:59):
Good news though, they're going to have their private talk and
then the season ends. Yeah, that's it.
This is at the episode ends withRobyn showing up at Meri's house
and asking if they can talk and then it's done.
And then it's done. And then that's done.
And that's a wrap to Season 2. And ridiculous because if you're
watching it on streaming, then the little thing comes up in the

(01:32:20):
corner going season 3 episode 1 and it's like, that's the end of
the season, that's it. So I'm going like, I wonder if
production, I mean, they must have known that they were going
to do another season. I'm wondering if they do.
They obviously shot the footage for the first episode.
So contracts were already in place, things are happening,
blah, blah, blah, because that is a disappointing end to a

(01:32:41):
season. And again, OK, so this is just
one of those things. When we watch this the first
time, we were not analyzing the show like this.
What were we thinking? What did we think about Robyn
the first time? I don't know that I was watching
her thinking that stupid bitch. No, but now.
I thought she was like so I justthought she was dumb.
Yeah, but I had to stop myself from calling her.

(01:33:02):
I see you next Tuesday, You know, like, well, I didn't stop
myself when we were watching it,but.
No, you called her a cunt and then you were like, I better not
say that during the show and I'mlike, why not?
I think it was stupid cunt. Stupid cunt.
That that is definitely more Robyn.
Yes, Robyn is unacceptable afterthis episode.

(01:33:23):
Robyn is unacceptable. My mustard seed this week.
Do you have one? Yes.
OK, you go for it, Meri. OK, OK.
And I'm giving it to Meri SO22 in a row for Meri.
For me. And giving it to Meri because I
just feel bad she has to defend so many things that these other

(01:33:46):
wives don't and and just yes, I think to an extent guess get
less consideration and less weight in their family because
she didn't pop out more kids. And I just there's a level of
that that I just think a shitty.And so far I feel like she's

(01:34:11):
handled it fairly well and not only handled it fairly well, but
been reacted like in a limited fashion compared to what I
would. I she's restrained herself or,
or just not thought that things like not take taking it too
personally and thought that things were offensive that like
I did, I thought that was rude as fuck.

(01:34:34):
What she did to what Robyn did to her many times I thought was
rude as I thought your husband was rude.
I thought everybody was rude to you and she was OK.
So like, I don't know, there's that.
There's a level of that. But yeah, Meri.
That does make sense. I think it's funny that this is
the second week where you've picked her.

(01:34:54):
So I have not because I would have.
You're welcome. And I think my choice is going
to Janelle because I liked that when they were looking at
rentals, Janelle found herself vibing with a property and with
a place and being like, I'm actually going to speak about
it. I'm going to speak it into being

(01:35:14):
a situation that could potentially happen.
And while we didn't see the details of how that all
unfurled, the overall vibe was copacetic.
It didn't seem like there was a major drama or anything like
that. And Janelle doesn't always
express herself about things that I think I would align with
as far as like home and what shecares about in that sense.
So I thought that was great for her.

(01:35:36):
Well, really, it's all Janelle'sfault that the whole merry House
thing happened. That's why she was like, no,
Meri was looking for at least two solid weeks because she was
like, I stole that bitch's house.
She was. Like it's all the fuck.
Well, guess what? That might be the worst mustard
seed that you've ever earned, Janelle, but you've still earned
it and we're giving it to you. And I think for shit stain.

(01:35:58):
But also to be fair, there weren't a lot of mustard seeds
to be given this episode. I wasn't really vibing on
anybody. I was like.
Whatever. There was some, well, shit
stain. So do you want to give your shit
stain to somebody, Honeywell? I yes, it would be Robyn.
Yes, that would that would be obvious.
I don't think it could go to anybody but Robyn.

(01:36:19):
But in addition to Robyn, I think we have another of course,
yes, pretty, pretty obvious one there too.
I would imagine not only does itgo to Robyn for speaking on
behalf of Meri when she should not have and also saying that

(01:36:40):
Meri's body is broken and also, you know, hiding her pregnancy
and lying about the time frame. And not only that, but but
especially the cheddar cheese onthe lasagna.
There's a couple I left out. I really wish I could have hit

(01:37:01):
every bullet point of her. Terrible, terrible and
thoughtless and ridiculous behavior this episode.
But there was a lot of it and wealready covered it.
She's a mess. A mess.
She's dark sided. So yeah, fuck Robyn again,
Always fuck Robyn. Just every episode.
Fuck Robyn. And I think obviously the other

(01:37:25):
shit stain needs to go to Kody Brown.
I can't even believe that he would even phrase things the way
he did on the couch with Meri, given that this was already
stuff that had already happened.So like, it's almost like he has
to be doing it on purpose to like be an asshole to her or to
like try to humiliate her or something.

(01:37:45):
Because I feel like you would have to intentionally not
connect the dots that someone would be upset about being told
to live in a cheap house. Like it's insane.
So I can't understand that rationale and he's gross.
He's a horrible husband. Yes, he's a bad.
That's a bad husband. That is bad.
Bad husband. Bad husband, yes.
Yep. So we're wrapping up season 2

(01:38:06):
with bad husband and horrible stupid cunt Robyn.
Things are great, things are great, things going great around
here. Our keep sweet moment this week
comes to us. It's another Apple podcast
review, another five stars. This one is from Tama Jamma 123.

Oh God, we're going to fall in love with Robyn.
