(00:00):
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):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like I can't open every
episode with Brittany. Or can't you?
Or can't I Season 2 episode 9 ofthe TLC classic docu series
Sister Wives. Oh, we added some extra
descriptors there. No place for home.

(01:36):
I have a gnat. I'm like, are you kidding?
No, like I literally have a gnat.
Season 2 episode 9 of the TLC docu series Sister Wives episode
titled No Place for Home and youwere like wow, that's a lot.
No, you said the classic TLC docu.

(01:56):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have had to restart a couple of times
due to an, A, an unforeseen circumstance and we recalibrated
trying to trying to. And Chris initially said the
classic TLC Sister Wives realityshow, and I said you've added

(02:17):
some additional descriptors and then you started again and
didn't have the descriptors. I know.
And we are off kilter. And now there's a RIP in time
and space, and the universe is sucking us into a portal where
we'll never return from. It's.
Kind of how it feels. Oh God.
We're going to re, We're going to regroup.
We got this, We got this. We've got this.

(02:39):
Luckily we have our patriarch Kody here to guide us.
Kody's always here to guide us and he says we're moving to
Vegas hot out the bat. This episode opens with them
talking about moving to Vegas. Hot out the bat.
Hot out the bat, swell when whenthe cats are weighed, the dogs
will play right off the bat, Offthe bat, there we go.

(03:01):
Yeah, go with that. Yeah, Kody says they're moving
to Vegas. Oh dear Lord, Kody saved the
family yet again. I can't even finish the
sentence. Oh, they're going to preserve
their family, Chris. They are determined.

(03:21):
They are preserving their family.
Yeah, Christine still says it's not right, though.
Christine says no, we shouldn't move straight up.
She's like, no, we shouldn't move.
Also, it's a week and a half away at this point, so it's
great that they're on the same page 10 days out.
Yes, they have to wait until school is done in their current

(03:44):
school district, right? And so they have 10 days, but
then only a few days after that before school starts in their
new school district. I once again wasn't really
following the map. There's like a 24 hour clearance
or something for this to happen.Yeah, yeah, straight up.
Come on, guys. And in the classic way that they
explain it, I don't know if it'sone week or two weeks or 10 days

(04:08):
or 14 days. I don't really know.
They said different numbers and different things.
And so, Amen. They have to move to Vegas
before a certain day because that's when school starts there.
And so Kody, Robyn and Meri are going to Vegas to scope out
homes. They're going to go on AI was
going to say sabbatical, but that's not what it's sabbatical.

(04:28):
Thank you, Reconnaissance. Mission.
How very aviator glasses. That sounded attractive to you?
Well, yeah, it sounds like Top Secret.
Like Tom Cruise when Tom Cruise was cute.
Brody Brown is doing. Oh well, well, no, I just
reconnaissance. It's like, oh, like it's a fun
word. Yeah, they didn't do that.

(04:48):
Oh, oh, Amen. Well, yeah.
So, you know, not only is the heyeah, he's the Timu Tom Cruise
now. Like he's the Timu everybody.
No, no, no, no. He's still the Timu.
Rex Manning. I'm being crazy.
So this is like my favorite label for him of all time.
Team Move version of anything. I don't care what it is.

(05:08):
Right, right. Like team move version of Label
the thing. Yeah, absolutely.
That is Kody Brown. Yes, yes, they show footage of
the kids leaving like be positive notes around the house.
And they were saying that they wanted to be positive for the
parents, that they wanted to like, be like, oh, not
everything's so terrible becausethey know the parents are under
a lot of pressure. And so they're like, we're

(05:30):
trying to be positive and think highly or whatever.
I think that's not even right. Oh my God.
So the kids did put these littlelike index card drawings with
the phrase be positive and like stuck them all over doors in the
houses and things like that. And it was really cute.
And they were just trying to, you know, uplift their parents

(05:54):
in a sense that like, we know this is all super hard for you
guys to like. It was actually kind of cute
because, you know, a lot of times it is the parents being
the strong one for the child. But the children at this moment
were recognizing that this is taking a toll on their parents.
And so they were trying to give them some, like, good juju, good

(06:15):
vibes, whatever, posted these little signs around.
And that was adorable, right? Like, super, super cute.
They then kind of flashed to a couch moment.
Yeah. And a few of the kids said a
couple of things, but Logan kindof went on like a diatribe.
But not like I'm not saying I'm not saying it in a bad way when?

(06:36):
You use it before. It's like I have used it in a
negative. Manner before, but he went.
On shares some of his thoughts and feelings.
He totally did. And it was really like, holy
shit. Like for a kid of your age,
you're really registering so much.
Did you note the things that he registered or would you like me

(06:57):
to bullet point them? Well, what I heard Logan say,
yes, was we're not hurting anyone, correct?
It's a lifestyle, not a crime, correct?
And that was my take away. And he says they need to be good
examples for their younger siblings.
That was exactly it. And and he started off though by

(07:19):
saying again, kind of the historical piece of we don't
want to split up our family. Like it can work out bad.
You can either have to, you know, have people taken away
from you or you're going to haveto completely split up and live
separate lives. And that's obviously not what
they want to do. They want to stay together.
Yeah. They're not hurting anyone.

(07:40):
Amen. And they're not literally 100%
not. So this is can totally agree on
all of those fronts. I did think the fact that he was
trying to point out to his othersiblings of similar ages that
the littles are looking up to uswas super like almost intuitive

(08:05):
to a sense. But for Logan.
Not because he's just that dude right?
But like, not every, maybe most.Oldest kid intuitive, but he's
just that dude. Isn't that the same?
Even some older children and families try to understand that
the little ones look up to them and that they have to put on

(08:28):
maybe a different like front or something else.
But I think it's harder when youhave to try to convince yourself
to do so. And he's having to convince
himself right now that this is the right thing to do.
So like, if you fully get it andyou know it and you're 100%
behind it, it's really easy to paint that picture to other

(08:50):
people, even if they don't understand it yet.
When you yourself don't know andyou're just having to go along
with it because everybody just has to go along with it.
That's not easy. And he still was like, we have
to be the strong ones, you know?Now, Kody in a sense is trying

(09:10):
to paint a similar picture. However, it's not the same
because Logan is doing it out ofbravery and out of like leading
by example and those types of things.
Kody is doing it as in I am telling that this is what is
happening regardless of other thoughts, feelings and opinions.

(09:33):
So I don't know. I don't know.
Logan's great, super, super great and I am sure that like
today, living his life is probably 1 of the I, I hope, I
hope anyway, but like a super well balanced human being that
like, you know, just works his way through life every day.
Yes, I would assume so. How nice, you know.

(09:56):
Yeah, he definitely demonstratesan emotional maturity that a lot
of this family doesn't. Yeah.
Or like like full thought process?
Yes, full thought process. A relatively mature individual
who is in high school, like, he's, he's the oldest child.
So like, Amen. But like, yeah.

(10:17):
And. Then he kind of disappears in
the later years, right? Like he kind of decides he
doesn't want to be. Yeah, a part of the taping.
Disengages, yeah. Yeah, which Amen.
And of course, all respect but. Right.
And there's very rational reasons why you would, of
course, you know. Yeah, of course.
So after the kids are on the couch, they cut to Kody rinsing

(10:40):
dishes in the kitchen. And it's like, oh, Friday Kody
does the dishes, ha ha ha, and he's rinsing them in the sink
and then giving them to Logan. But then there's something
having to do with a cut in whereit's like, we've got to show
someone else where Dayton. We got to show Dayton how to
load the dishwasher and it was super cute because Logan is
directing and doing well. And Logan totally makes sense.

(11:03):
And he's like making it just like playful and interactive
enough for it to be like not a chore.
Like this is how you do it and this is how you do it right?
And I love that shit. Real men do the dishes.
Yes, that's what Logan says. Yeah, real men do the dishes.
And Dayton goes, It's been yearssince I've done these.
Yeah, yeah. Which is so funny.
He has his funny moments, like where it's like you're a little

(11:26):
kid, looks so funny. He has kind of like an old man
thing about him. It's kind of funny, yeah.
And I don't even, you know, Kodydoing the dishes on Friday, OK,
I guess it's showing at least a little bit of an effort.
I'm not even saying that Kody should come home from work every
day and do the dishes in every house in which he has a life.
Like that's not reality. So I would never expect him and

(11:51):
his circumstance to like take onsome of the domestic roles that
I would an average everyday husband.
I, I guess I don't even know whyI'm, I'm feeling like I need to
make clear that that's the situation, but I actually do.
I I think that it's 100% clear that we would never expect this
husband splitting his time between 4:00 homes, 4 wives,

(12:15):
whatever in whatever fashion to like, keep up with the average
everyday shit. Yeah, we know that.
I as you're saying this, I was going, I would actually never
expect this person to do dishes.And I hate to say, I mean, you
know, like, I don't want to givepasses to Kody, but yeah.
I'm not trying to. Actually, like are you going to
actually have him doing dishes? And, and that comes into some of

(12:38):
the wives stuff in the future with the whole like what you do
with your husband when he's withyou And do you ask him to do
dishes or do you not? Not and I personally probably
wouldn't, but they're trying to.I think this is probably a
production bit in a sense like, oh, he does dishes.
Maybe he does do dishes every Friday, but where is he every

(12:59):
Friday? It's got to be different wives
items hopefully. You made a statement there about
like if I was the wife, would I expect or something along those
lines? And I think that we've just
acknowledged that if it was you or I, we would not necessarily.
But what we don't know are the conversations that these wives
are having with their particularhusband.

(13:21):
And if it could be like literally something as stupid as
it might seem an unreasonable ask, but even if it's something
that the wife is saying, like, could you just fucking before
you come to bed, help me with the dishes?
I've done them 17 times today. Do you think before you come to

(13:42):
bed you could wash the handful of dishes that are in the
fucking sink and put them away so that I don't have to wake up
and I can have a clean sink in the morning?
You know, like some level of something like that.
I think there could be an ask from a wife in some form that
could seem so simple and triviallike that, but also seem like,

(14:05):
well, of course he's not doing dishes and, you know, yeah.
It's about the respect and the balance piece of it and what's
important to who and how and where and when and why.
Yeah. Amen.
For the framing of the scene, mytake away was that it was a
little bit more kind of like, oh, Kody does, he does the

(14:26):
dishes every Friday, ha ha ha. Totally.
But, and I hear you because likeon one hand I could see being
like this doesn't matter at all.On the other hand, being like if
you could just do 1 fucking. Thing I know and so I don't
think that that is probably an argument about Kody
participating in domestic chores.
Like I don't think that that's like a thing that happens on a

(14:46):
regular with these people. I think that they realize that
that is not going to be something he has the time for.
But it's interesting that there could be a want or a need or
ask, and that it just is like, Nope, that's not my role, you
know, TBD. So it turns out Janelle and
Christine are going to plan a surprise party for Meri.

(15:08):
The back story is that Robyn andMeri going with Kody to Vegas
means there's this opportunity for them to plan a surprise
party for Meri's birthday. Now, they don't say what
birthday it is at the beginning.We find out it is actually one
of the milestone birthdays lateron.
But they're just going to plan asurprise party for Meri.
And they're like, oh, Meri, it'shard.

(15:30):
She's going to be hard to plan asurprise party for, and I get
it. I mean, Meri's probably.
She's a sleuth. She's, she's well, she's sleuth.
She's. Sad.
Well, yeah. Later on, yes, yes, yes, she's a
sleuth. But you know, it's like, funny
that it's like, oh, you can't get anything by Meri.
And it's like, OK, well, hopefully you can at least plan
a birthday party without her finding out, Like, oh, my gosh.

(15:52):
And so we'll see where that lands.
But this the theme is going to be Ali.
The 70s. The 70s.
Because shocker, ladies and gentlemen, it is a decade in
which she was born. But also just because we really
like flower power. A flower child.

(16:12):
Yes. So really it's more about that.
Yeah. But also she was born then.
Yes, she was born in the 70s. Robyn makes sure to let us know
that not only is this about celebrating Meri's birthday, but
that it's about their need to have fun, to distract from their
current situation with the investigation and the move.

(16:34):
And so we have that woven in andout like we always do.
But that makes sense. But in true Robyn fashion, so as
she is speaking about every single one of these things,
she's just well, so it's Meri's birthday, so and it's really
hard to surprise Meri. And so I said, we're going to do
this. And so like she's just fast
talking Robyn, fast talking Robyn cannot.

(16:55):
It's like she's asked a questionand can't just like, speak in
response. She's just.
And then when Meri gets there, we're going to dress her in the
funkiest 70s outfit we have for her.
And it's like, Oh my God, just shut up.
Like she's listening to her describe what this party is

(17:17):
intended to be for Meri is, like, painful.
I just don't. I just don't enjoy.
Yeah, listening to Robyn to Robyn speak, as it turns out.
Yeah, no. So.
Nope. Cut to reconnaissance trip.
Wow, you did. That was close.
That's great. So Kody, Robyn and Meri leave in

(17:38):
the dead of night once again. We're always leaving somewhere
at night, which is fun. I shouldn't even at night at
dark. Like it's dark outside.
So they're leaving while it's dark outside.
They talk about their unique situation somehow in this
voiceover while they're driving,Kody talks about how he called a
realtor and it will be hard for them to find a home for their

(18:01):
entire family. Now, did I miss any details
there that you have noted in your mind about like what
happened in this conversation? Because I don't really get how
this happened. So they were going on the
reconnaissance trip? Yes, that is accurate.
Yes, Kody, Meri and Robyn, in their perfect world, they are
going to end up with one house. OK, in their perfect world.

(18:26):
Or big or. Big or as close as possible to
each other. OK, so this is where we are. 4
ohms as close. As close as possible.
The realtor has made clear that there are not floor plans that

(18:47):
are big enough for what they're looking for, so they have
recognized this and are now looking at alternative options.
OK, two things. So first they're meeting up with
Robyn's dad. So now, so yeah, we're on the in
the car and there's these voice overs about their current
status. Then all of a sudden the sun is

(19:08):
up and they are in Las Vegas andthe voice over from maybe Robyn.
I'm not sure if it's Robyn, but we're told that we're meeting
up. I think that Kody's.
Kody says we're lucky because Robyn's dad is from the area and
so he is going to help us. Robyn or Kody says he's lived in
the area for years and I'm going.

(19:29):
Shocking. Yeah, I thought that Robyn was
from Saint George. I'm going.
OK, Something doesn't pass my smell test.
Is it Uncle Daddy times 2? It's Uncle it's no, it's the OG
Uncle daddy. Oh, sorry, there's only I don't
Oh, I only know of one OG uncle daddy.

(19:51):
I don't know of any others. Just jacket.
Exactly. I mean you.
Hey I. Don't think it's an unfair she.
Could have many uncle Daddies, that's for sure.
So somehow Robyn's dad is familiar and has lived in the
area for years. Even though Robyn was just
living with her parents quote UNquote in Saint George when she
started courting Kody. Maybe she wasn't living with her

(20:14):
parents. Maybe I'm misremembering, I
don't know. Maybe Robyn's dad only lived in
Saint George briefly and has lived the rest of his life in
Vegas, and so he didn't really know much about Saint George,
but turns out he knows lots about Vegas.
So he just popped into Saint George for a month and lived

(20:34):
there with his daughter until she found a man on ATV show.
Who knows? We can't connect the dots at
this time. We will investigate further.
Once again noting for our listeners that we are meeting up
with Robyn's dad in Las Vegas. Now, I'm not trying to browbeat.
This is actually a thing, like we're meeting up with Robyn's
dad in Las Vegas. This is important.

(20:56):
Sometimes we start to wonder about her family and where
they're located and what influence that.
Oh, I guess maybe I'm painting the exact her family and where
they're located and how that mayaffect where the family moves
for the entire rest of their marriages that do sustain.

(21:20):
Like interesting. It's just it's.
Just something really great. Yep.
Robbins Dad is in Vegas. Robbins, Uncle Daddy.
Is our our our real estate? Yes, Queen Mona.
And we meet up with realtor Mona.
Yeah. Mona, yeah, she does a really
good job in sales in which they have requested their desired

(21:41):
outcome and she says it's it doesn't exist.
I love that sentence. I was like, are you, are you
reciting her sales speech? Like what's going on here?
She just goes. That's not out.
There it turns out no. Like actually no, that's.
Not actually have that. For you.
No, no, it's not Ramona. I kept thinking Ramona.

(22:02):
I was like Ramona, like her eyes.
And she tried to be a realtor for a moment, but no, it's Mona.
Just Mona. Just Mona.
That's what we'll call her. Just Mona.
Just Mona. Just Mona.
So they're using the term plaguerow as kind of this joking thing
about having four homes in a cul-de-sac.
Would be great for them if they could find 4 homes in one place

(22:23):
as they're roaming the streets of Vegas.
OK. Can we just acknowledge one
thing right in this moment? Yeah, Kody says that they have
this realtor, Mona, who is back at her office working hard as
can be to try to place them withproperties that could

(22:45):
potentially match their needs, while he and Meri and Robyn are
literally out driving the streets of Las Vegas and picking
up Flyers from For Sale signs. I guess you guys, part of what
I'm just thinking is it like, wow, how far time has flown?

(23:07):
When was the last time you droveby a For Sale sign and picked up
a fucking flyer out of it? Like never.
Like, no, this is crazy town. So that's what they're doing,
though. This is the point in time in
which you did things like that. It's bizarre a little bit.
It's bizarre A. Little bit, Yeah, and less like
online venturing. We're not picking out places and

(23:30):
things, we're relying entirely on another.
Unit probably existed to be looking at homes in another
city. Did they?
Maybe, but not to the same extent that we would today,
where we would have our list and.
Wedo.com every 30 seconds? Absolutely.
Not yeah, yeah, no. They were taking the Flyers.
They talked about Plague Row, the cul-de-sac ID became kind of

(23:55):
front and center as a good option, Kody said he struggles
when they're not at in the same home.
And I thought what was funny about that is that for 99% of
the time, they've all been in the same home.
So it's a very brief period of time that there has been a new

(24:17):
family in the mix, that it hasn't been the same home.
Well, I think he was probably referencing times before where,
you know, Janelle had stayed behind when they moved out of
state and things like that. Oh, I.
Guess I'm just seeing all of it so much yes, exactly as they are
today. So yeah, he when he's talking
about that, he's talking about how it is that there's a
struggle. In being actual examples in

(24:40):
history of when they haven't been in it hasn't worked out.
Yeah, fair enough. Fair.
Enough which they have not emphasized on the show.
Like as a viewer at this point you wouldn't really know.
Kind of feel like they've all just been in the same little box
forever. Yeah, in the compound, yes.
Amen. OK, OK.
But he says he struggles with that.
And it's like, OK. Yep, absolutely.

(25:01):
It would be a struggle. And it does seem reasonable and
logical that there would be a big difference between being in
different homes versus in one. So yeah, now we're going to go
to party land, OK? Where we're going is party land.
OK. I don't know.
I got to come up with something better than.
That I was thinking there could be a better way to do it, but I
didn't have a suggestion. Yeah, right.

(25:22):
I know you made a face at me like there was going to be
something great and then it was just me going party land.
I just always feel like you're gonna come through with
something that's super, like, perfect.
I always, I know I always disappoint you.
I wish I would have came up withsomething.
Better than that, you. Always.
Sorry everybody, my party, I. Didn't know that I should have
been trying. My party land wouldn't even have

(25:42):
made the pitch, but it's OK. So party land we're at, we're at
party land, we're at party land where your dreams can come true.
So they're at a store, party land, and they are looking for
things to rent for the party forMeri's birthday.
They talk about renting a disco ball.
I was wondering what they were renting versus buying because

(26:04):
they were also looking at accessories and outfits.
And I kind of thought maybe theywouldn't buy outfits.
Maybe they would only buy certain things that are smaller
in packaging. I don't know.
It was funny because it was totally reminiscent to me of
like the purchasing Halloween costumes, saying Jay Ness, like
I was just like, shut up. You're not doing this right now.

(26:25):
But they were doing it right then.
It was actually they purchased things.
I want to, I don't know. I just, I can't say that I fully
understood it, but we did know that it was 70s theme and that
they're stoked and that they arereally kind of nervous about
pulling off the surprise becausehistorically, because Meri's a

(26:45):
salute not not easy with Meri. She is a.
Salute because Meri has standardobservation skills.
So, you know, there's that. Interesting.
Some of them don't. Back to the couch.
Back to the couch. Dramatic music plays.
Did you notice the music during this couch session I.
Didn't. OK.

(27:06):
Maybe I did. In the moment, you probably did.
I only note it because I thought, oh, I wonder if Ali,
you'll notice because. There were moments that I
thought it worked and it was probably that, but it just
wasn't as seasonal or important to.
Exactly. Exactly.
But it was like a dramatic soundtrack moment, I think, And
it was fitting. And it was fitting, yeah,
because Christine is reiteratingthat she is unhappy.

(27:30):
She still does not feel right about it.
Yeah, she does not feel right about it.
Yeah. And it's kind of funny because
it seems almost like nobody cares that she doesn't feel
right about it. Yeah, I guess.
I guess you're right with the lack of responses from other
people, particularly on the other wives.

(27:52):
Excuse me, on the couches. Nothing.
Nothing. Nothing.
I did have one side note. Kody's hair looked actually
okay. I didn't notice.
Catch a moment. It was like a Rex Manning hair
day without like the Super like manicured, but also like looked

(28:15):
okay, you know, OK, don't love to give him props for it, but it
did. I will when it happens.
I will when it happens. That's not.
I know OK, and I'm just saying sounds.
Looks a little like tan to me. Can't fucking say a goddamn
thing ever. Can't fucking say a word.
Christine doesn't feel right about it.
She really doesn't. But yes, they are still leaving

(28:38):
in eight days. Yeah, yeah, Kody doubled down.
He's like. We are keeping the family
together. Being together is the most
important thing. So whatever she's saying, he's
like, OK, sounds good or you know, and God bless, this is
what we're doing. And everyone else is just
sitting there. Christine is definitely not

(29:01):
being heard. Now how much that registers to
her, I'm not sure until the future.
Like honestly, I don't know because the thing with
Christina's a few episodes ago, I was dragging her through the
shit stains being like, girl, you're a bad actress.
Like you're so fake because it'sit's her conditioning.
It's her conditioning from the cult.
Like she's just like everything's fine.

(29:22):
Everything's great. Her book that's coming out in
September. I'm I'm I'm 100% sure the entire
story is going to be all I did was fake my life until I figured
out who I was. That's her story.
All I did was say, oh, I agree and everything's fine.
So she's standing up for herselfhere, but she's just going to
get railroaded and she's going to let it happen.
She might internalize it and yes, start making mental notes

(29:44):
and building up a thing to change her life.
Hopefully, hopefully that's her story.
But she was just really kind of like going with it.
She was in the AUB. She, her grandfather, was the
fucking prophet of the group like she was in it.
It's so easy to tell people the type of life they should live
until you are actually living inthat type of life.

(30:08):
And then you realize that maybe there are things that are
actually not. If you want to be your own
human, like personal self, not not good.
And I think she had some of thathappen for her.
I do think that's her story overall.
OK, well, they're leaving in eight days, so.
Meri either has a voiceover or aspotlight moment where she says

(30:30):
they need 15 or 16 bedrooms in asingle home, Correct.
So, you know, that's a thing. They have Mona on the phone and
she says that financing will be difficult with their position
given, you know, obviously theirfamily structure and the lack of
incomes. I'm guessing.
So, you know, although at this point we're on the latter half

(30:51):
of Season 2 with TLC, I don't know what that means for their
finances. It still feels like.
Probably not a long history of financial success, which you
have to have several years of finances to qualify for big
dollars, and they're actually trying to qualify for dollars to
purchase four homes at one time.Yeah.

(31:13):
And they acknowledge that it's difficult to get financing in
their situation. And they also really love the
idea of the cul-de-sac. Like that's the cul-de-sac idea
to them right now is really fun.They have seen this in person in

(31:33):
a sense and feel like it's goingto work out pretty great.
They want to present an offer tothis builder for these four
homes that was open to like owner financing and they're
pretty stoked about the potential.
Yeah, Mona says that she knows aguy who has four homes and it's
only one owner, and he would be considering owner financing,

(31:56):
like not necessarily through a bank, so there would be
alternative financing options for them if possible.
Which they kind of acknowledge that they need, they need like
they they're not. They're not going to qualify for
like an FHA loan for a 1516 bedroom loan.
Right. And for four mortgages at one
time with whatever. Like they realize they're in a

(32:18):
pickle of sorts. Yeah.
And then we get more circus music, our second appearance of.
That had to have been really awesome to listen to.
You're welcome. Sorry guys.
The circus music happens again and it just disturbs me.

(32:38):
They are back at party land shops.
That's where we're at. Party land.
Party land. Do you know what I thought was a
really nice Chris? Oh well, even though Robyn was
with Meri and Kody on their reconnaissance mission.
Oh geez. Janelle and Christine tried to

(32:58):
get her an outfit. Yes, they did.
They thought this is the outfit for Robyn.
Yeah, they sent her a photo, right?
Did they did? Yeah.
What did what did she say? What have Robyns?
I don't remember what she said. Kit serious?
Gets gets. So the the dress that they sent

(33:19):
her a photo of. Was the plig dress.
It was. Oh yeah, totally a polygamous
dress. It was like, nothing cute,
nothing sexy, nothing whatever. And Robyn was like, yeah, fuck
you both. I love.
That and so, she said. Get serious.
Yeah, and I love seeing Janelle laughing at that.
Janelle, like got a kick out of it.

(33:40):
She was just like was. Pretty cute until Janelle got to
the checkout counter. And then what happened?
It was $194.57 and Janelle said wow for a party. $200.
And that's what happened there. She was appalled.

(34:04):
She did not think those were responsible dollars.
Well, this is it. I mean, what budget line item
does this fall under Meri's surprise 40th birthday party?
Definitely not worth $194. Oh my God, back in Las Vegas.
There we go. Kody, Meri and Robyn meet with

(34:24):
Mona at the four houses that arefor sale, supposedly by this
owner that might be open to special financing for them.
I thought that those homes were cute for ticky tacky houses.
Like they looked like, you know,they were like modern new
builds, kind of nothing special,but also like nice houses.
Like I would be like, yes, I would take.

(34:45):
Oh, look, no, I love a stucco, adesert home.
They were all beautiful in thoseways.
They had vaulted ceilings. I mean, it was good curb appeal.
There was some yard space ish, you know, I mean, it was it was

(35:05):
good. They were.
They were good. Kody was looking for some sort
of hook. Yeah, to soften the blow.
To soften the blow and to get the kids to like love it.
And one of the houses at least, if not more than one, but had a
pool. And so he thought that could

(35:26):
really do the number, do the trick for the kids.
Like, great. Yep, that came up more than once
and I thought it was actually a very good point.
I was like, Yep, Amen. Got to be like, we get a pool
like that would make me a littlemore excited.
I hope it's not Meri's house that has a pool.
But anyway, other than that, kidding, Meri.
Yep, love you, Meri. One of the things that was just

(35:49):
confusing to me though was that they thought it was super OK to
just climb the cinder block walls around these homes to
investigate. Like they didn't have tours set
up with Realtors, they just wereclimbing walls.

(36:11):
Yeah, and another a production edit on this that is weird is
like, was Mona not with them then?
Because, right. But I thought when they showed
up on the cul-de-sac, she was. So this is what's interesting
with this footage because she does show up with them again in
the future in this episode. So there's some sort of weird
editing once again with the show.

(36:33):
Whatever. They're with Mona.
They're not with Mona. But yeah, they're like, let's
take a look at things. And Kody jumps onto this cinder
block fence wall between the homes to walk up them to walk up
at like a balance beam, I guess.And Meri and Robyn followed.
Do too. So there's someone else?
Yeah. So someone else is there.
Maybe Mona was there with them, but then it seemed like Mona
wasn't there with them and they were.

(36:53):
Asking I think she was there after this like she arrived
shortly thereafter when she was able to like set up actual
appointments and apparently nobody fucking cared yeah that
they were just I guess this is probably before Ring video
cameras and like stuff maybe like that, but it's like 2011 I
don't know I. And homes are for sale.

(37:16):
Like, you know, someone's probably not breaking in or
whatever. I don't know, it was awkward.
I was like, you are just jumpingfences.
That seems like a bit much. Back at the compound.
Back at the compound, cupcake trees.
Oh. Cupcake trees.
Meri's birthday. We are in full swing.
We are in full swing. Everybody is a little concerned.

(37:39):
A kiss that they can get done what they need to get done in
time. They've never done a big party
like this for Meri before. It's we did learn.
Now it's her 40th. Yeah, it is a 40th birthday.
And I wonder if Meri had any expectations about her 40th

(38:04):
birthday, you know, maybe part with Kody specifically that he
was going to do something or if she had any ideas because to be
planning a surprise party for somebody's 40th, you know, I you
know, my 40th, my friend threw me a 40th birthday party.
I don't know if she is on some podcast or something.

(38:24):
And I knew about it for a while.I mean, like, it wasn't.
Yeah. Well, you planned it and it was
not a surprise party, but I kindof feel like if I didn't know
anything was going on for my 40th, that'd be a little weird.
Like. Yeah, that's interesting that
Meri wasn't actually Uber superscoped, you know, cuz.
I feel like they just intentionally, we don't see any

(38:47):
of that. Yeah.
Like there had to have been questions coming about that she
could not have thought nobody will do anything for my 40th.
Like that's impossible. Yeah.
But Amen. And we've had some fun moments
and stuff like that. And so it's it's great.
They really were trying to pull one over on her, which I loved.

(39:09):
You would reference the disco ball earlier.
And this is the moment in which they're hanging in the house.
And Gabe, Christine and Gabe arekind of like messing around with
it a little bit. And he is quite sure he has the
right placement. And Christine is like, yeah,
like, yes, you did it right, Gabe.

(39:29):
Like, that was great. Yes.
And I love that. And I thought that was really.
Yeah. Is it Gabe?
It's Gabriel. Yes.
It's Gabriel. Yes.
I love to say, you know, I tend towards the formal name, of
course. Amen.
So Gabriel. Yeah.
But yes, he hung it on a arm of a treadmill that was like, hung
up, right? It was.
Not on the arm of a treadmill, wasn't.

(39:51):
Really. Was it on?
No, you're probably right. I just think that's so funny
that I didn't register where waseven.
Hanging on some sort of part of a workout equipment.
And if it was a treadmill, I think it was the arm of a
treadmill. But it also could have been
maybe like when you know, when you hang out of off of a door
and you're doing pull ups like that thing that people put

(40:12):
contraption in the top of the door could have been off of
something like that, but it was high enough.
So they could shine the light atit and the disco ball would, you
know, have reflections around the room.
I love it. But it was on some sort of
equipment, yeah. That sounds right.
I'm not. I love it.
Back in Vegas. Back in Vegas.
And I'm going once again. Now Mona's with them.
Like now Mona's with. Them now I will say 100% at this

(40:36):
point in time, I do believe Monais with them because they're
taping inside of each House of the four houses.
Robyn is taking video. You know that and and they're up
and down about the move. Up and down.
It's good, it's bad, it's good, it's bad.
We're up and down. Yeah, Robyn is taking these
videos of the homes to send backto Janelle and Christine to

(40:58):
review, like the footage of whatthey're seeing in the houses.
They are in one of the houses and Robyn is videoing and
they're doing all of this and Kody says he hears angels sing.
Oh, for the first time. For the first time, he hears
angels sing and it's it's definitely up to Christine, but

(41:21):
he feels like this is Christine's house and her Master
bedroom. Oh, what a coincidence that the.
Angels. The angels told him that
Christine would love this. Angels told him.
Wow, what a coincidence. Interesting, right?
Yeah, the stars have aligned. Shocking.
Robyn sends videos back home andguess who loves the videos of

(41:45):
the houses? Christine.
Christine. Christine.
Yes, she just loves them. All of a sudden.
All of a sudden. Her mind has changed.
You know what I like about All of a sudden when I was in second
grade, my dad was dropping me off at.
School, yeah. Tell me, tell me.

(42:07):
It's one of those moments. Tell me.
My dad was dropping me off at school and I said, dad, how do
you spell all of a sudden? And he was like all of a sudden.
And I was like, Oh my gosh, because I thought it was one
word all of a sudden. I know, I know.
But I mean I was like 7. I get it though, I understand

(42:29):
how I was like. 7 or 8 years oldand I was like all of a sudden
and he's like, no, it's all of asudden.
So that was my story. What a gem I love.
That so much. Pray for me.
So after Christine says that sheloves these houses and she loves
the videos, they're back in Vegas.
And Mona is like a level settingtheir expectations.
Like she's being like, yeah. So just so you know, everything

(42:51):
you're asking for is unreasonable.
There's probably no way we're going to get you the home that
you want to live in. And it's probably unlikely that
you're going to end up with fourhomes together and a cul-de-sac.
And that seems to be like a moment They cut to Robyn and she
says we don't have a lot of money, but we have a lot of

(43:12):
faith. Whatever.
So it was a little hard to tell because it seemed like Kody and
their narrative was like, Mona'sworking on things for us.
We're going to have things. And then Mona's kind of going, I
could show you this, but it doesn't seem likely.
So I don't get that. You know, she's doing her level
best to rein in expectations while still trying to give them

(43:37):
the opportunity to find something that might work, the
next best thing, the next goal that could be working.
You know, they determine that they will put in offers on these
four homes that also, PS by the way, are not in a cul-de-sac.
These four homes are down streets from each.

(43:59):
Other yeah, I feel like it was two and two, right?
Like 2 next to each other. Next to each other.
The other two are next to each other, but they're maybe even
like a block and a half away. Yeah, they're in the same
development. They're in the same development,
but it's certainly not like next.
They're not next door neighbor. Whatever, blah blah.
Blah, but a block away, yeah. So she's trying her best to, you

(44:20):
know, meet their demands. They also, like, as they cut to
the end of this part of it, are like, we're eight days away from
our move. Now here's my fucking question.
Where the fuck are you moving? So like, if you're 8 days from
your move and you don't have a destination, how are we saying

(44:42):
that's a move? We don't have a destination,
right? What are you talking about?
This. They do this, they do this
multiple times over the years. Bad.
Planning what the fuck bad everything talking about family
of 21 moving in eight days without a place to.
To no home. Yeah, zero homes lined up for.
A city in another state, literally a 5-6 hour drive.

(45:06):
A drive like you and I would take 5 or 6 hour drive, not
their drive. And like acknowledging that the
financing that their family has to do with non traditional, this
isn't something that's like check, check check boxes.
We can move super quickly. We're in a situation at the
moment that I and I don't believe that this is actually

(45:27):
the situation. Is this actually?
Is this actually the situation they're in?
I know. I don't think I believe it.
I know, I know, I know. It's such stringent parameters.
I think the one thing that I canbuy into is the end of the
school year in Lehigh and the beginning of the next semester
in Vegas. They talk about now.

(45:49):
This is right after Christmas. That was early, that was
earlier, but yes, it was part ofthe timeline.
And this is right after Christmas.
So if we're talking about end ofyear to beginning of year,
that's a whole different thing. I, I don't know when they're
actually moving, but if it is right after the holidays, we're
talking about usually school, there's only a week break or

(46:10):
something. So I don't know where this
timeline, you know, it's hard totake their word for it, it seems
like. Anyway, it's working out great.
It seems like between a week andtwo weeks.
Like they have like 7 to 14 daysto move from one state to
another and enroll in school. That's what it sounds like.
I just can't. Anyway, I just can't.

(46:31):
But I know that's all there's. Plenty of it that doesn't make
sense. And even right now, like me
being like, well, if it's after Christmas, like they're doing
this during the holiday break, are they?
I mean, I think they are, but I don't know.
That's me jumping to like, it's not explained in the show.
It's not explained in the show. So that's why the show.
But they do this. We know they don't know how to
move. Yeah.

(46:52):
And they don't know how to explain anything.
Cut 2. Back at the compound.
There we go. They're really worried about
Meri not being surprised about her party.
Yeah, and they. Better get it right.
And and they have a lot to do and so they are working hard.
They are working hard. They get a 15 minute warning.
Janelle and Christine are in a They are working, they are doing

(47:15):
it. They are doing it well.
Christine definitely is, and Janelle's trying.
I actually thought it was super well executed.
Yes, to be fair, yes, that is true.
That is true. And.
Because look at the 15 minute warning.
Everyone looked fucking adorable.

(47:36):
They're all dressed up. Beads in the hair like braids
and beads like 7. Everybody was cute and it was a
genuine happy, fun moment. So do you know, one of the
things that comes out like in later years are some of the
feelings of animosity towards Meri from some of the older

(47:56):
children at this time. And I kind of try to like keep
an eye out. Do you know what I mean?
Like keep an eye out for this and and at least in these last
few episodes with lots of familymoments with actual kind of
heavy appreciation moments for Meri, like, yeah, everybody

(48:18):
seems totes on the same page. Like it doesn't seem super
crazy. I'm not negating any of the
other issues, but I'm just saying it looks good and it was
so cute and I just liked it. And she did seem surprised.
I think she said she was surprised.
I don't know that we 100% believe she didn't know

(48:42):
anything, right? But.
Yes, everyone is gathered in Meri's place.
They're wearing their 70s outfits and they're kind of
doing the whole like OK everyonelike kind of hide and duck or
whatever. Like we're only going to have
like 2 lights on so it looks like how Meri would keep it when
she comes home like. Like they literally thought
about the lights on the outside of the house for how she would

(49:02):
drive up, how they would drive up.
Now this was the curious part. They walked up to the house so
they had to pick up Robyn's kidson the way.
So when Kody, Meri and Robyn arrive at the house, they had
picked up Robyn's kids from her house because there were kids

(49:25):
walking in when they walked in. See, that was probably a
giveaway. I think it probably was.
Fresh home from a trip? You're not picking up your kids
to go back to the compound. So I think it's twofold.
Maybe another wife didn't think about picking up Robyn's kids,
or there was a reason in which they knew picking up Robyn's
kids would be problematic, so they avoided asking the

(49:48):
question. Unclear, Unclear.
But they walked up with three kids into that home.
That is, that is a. Moment that, just saying.
That's a moment I know that is areal moment.
I Why were Robyn's kids not already at that house?
I know, I know. Why are they going to go pick up

(50:10):
their kids after returning from Vegas to go to the other?
Would you ever? No, I mean that would be that
would give huge flags away. It.
Would give such flags away to Meri because it's like we're
picking up the kids. Like, come on.
Oh, that's gross. So anyway they failed but.
Yeah. Meri tries to pretend that they

(50:32):
pulled. Well, yeah.
And they walk up and Meri opens the door.
And she did look. So if Meri wasn't legitimately
surprised. She.
Played. She looked so happy.
She looked surprised and I'm going to say she looked good.
And her tea dyed T-shirt and those glasses.

(50:56):
Yes I did. She looked good in her tie dyed
T-shirt, tie dyed T-shirt, her tie dyed T-shirt and those fun
glasses and her earrings. Her hair looked good in the way
that it did for the shirt and the top like that, all the
things. She looked good.
I was literally like, wow, if there was a surprise party
thrown for me and they were like, throw some shit on that,

(51:18):
we got you. I would be like immediately,
like, are you fucking kidding me?
They. Did pretty good.
But then if I walked out lookinglike that I would be like Amen,
this works. She.
Looked. Good.
Also, one of the things that I thought was so cute was they put
up these little signs throughoutthe house, right?
And there's like the circle withthe the red circle with a cross
across or the hashtag across it or whatever.

(51:40):
And it was like old age with a like do not.
Yeah, like no old age. No.
Old age, yeah. Cute.
That's so cute. It was.
It was for a 40th. It's a milestone birthday and
I'm glad that even if it feels fake and whatever, in certain
ways that at least Meri did get to have a milestone birthday in

(52:00):
this chaos they're currently going.
I don't even think it fell fake.You know, that's that's one of
the things about what this family did back then is it
doesn't seem even today, I'm notgoing to say everything feels
fake, but like this was real. This is their family, this is
their life. This is what they're doing.

(52:21):
And. And Janelle and Christine were
really enthusiastic about it. They really wanted.
To and even Robyn, fuck Robyn, even Robyn was she didn't.
Blow it. I know, but I still hate her.
She was fast talking about everything this whole episode.
Anyway, it was cute and I did really, really, really enjoy it.

(52:42):
I did too. I did too.
And now we're back at a couch moment and Kody is talking about
how it was a pinnacle to see thehouses and how they how that
took a weight off of his shoulders when it comes to the
move. That he saw these homes and was
like, oh, this is possible. This is the thing it was.
Refreshing. And it was refreshing,

(53:04):
refreshing. But I'm going like, right, Well,
couldn't you and I, we could drive to somewhere and look at
some houses and be like, we could move here?
And it kind of felt like that. Like I felt like I was like,
didn't it seem a bit like didn'tseem to hope in the distance?
Or did it seem like hope was right there?
Listen, I think what they're trying to do is to convince
themselves that four individual homes could function as

(53:30):
positively. Because he even said that in
like 1 of the background momentsto this was like well every wife
expects me to kiss them goodnight.
Yeah, he did say. That and so you're in one house,
you can do that. You're in four houses, way more
complicated. Proximity.

(53:52):
So he starts talking about proximity.
Proximity. I think he's still, you know
what's so funny? Tangent.
Amen. When he brings up the big
fucking house, Yep, towards the end of the series and this is
kind of like, is it It's pre COVID, Yeah, but he brings up

(54:17):
the big beautiful house that they can all live together and I
know. The big beautiful house.
I know I shouldn't just so good,but I did.
So good. And I was so irritated that he
brought up this thing because atthat time, no wife wanted it.
Not one single wife wanted to live in the same house together
when he brings this up at that time.

(54:38):
And that's not true. Janelle leaned into it.
Maybe a couple were like. Only Janelle.
Yeah, Janelle was affirmative. None of the others were.
So they're like, we're past this, we're not doing this now.
But in this stage of their exploration of this immediate
need to move to Las Vegas in seven days, he's like analyzing

(55:02):
these things. And I just, I just find it so
funny that they're looking for the closest best option, which
actually turns out to be the fucking worst thing because you
gave them all an experience of independence and not having to
fucking be on top of each other.And you gave them that

(55:23):
experience and now they don't want anything to fucking do with
it again. And now you want to cram them
all back into a house like your your forethought, Sir, should
have been 15 years ago and making sure that you could do
and build and deliver what you needed to for your family.

(55:44):
Now you're trying to rein them into circumstances that's never
going to fucking happen again, like not happening.
And. I think we do also, in a way,
need to question Kody's motives from the perspective of does he
really is his number one goal tohave all of his wives in one
home? He says these things.

(56:06):
He makes it seem like they should be best friends and they
should do whatever. We're already starting to
question does he actually want them to be best friends?
Does Kody really want all these women under one roof?
It is a great thing to say, it'sa great thing to want to have
happen, But I don't think Kody is thinking if I suggest this,

(56:28):
my wives are just going to sign up and it's great.
I think that because this circumstance means they're not
going to move into one home together in Vegas, it's all the
more reason for him to push the one home narrative.
If he pushes the one home narrative, it doesn't matter
whether in four homes and four rentals and four different
counties or four different states, he gets to be the good

(56:49):
guy because he's pushing the onehome narrative.
It doesn't mean that he necessarily wants that.
Well, we'll see in the future. I don't.
I don't think he wants to live with everybody personally.
I think he does actually like, Ithink he actually does.
I think he thrives on the compound nest.
Like I think he's a good dad anda good husband and a good all of

(57:10):
it in the compound nest. Like I think Robyn needs to be a
part of the. Compound and.
That's that's not there yet. So if I was being so super, I'm
like shaking my fists. You guys because I'm like.
Mad. I'm angry.
I think Christine's right. I don't think they should have

(57:31):
fucking moved right now. I think Christine was like, calm
the fuck down, stop it. And when we're ready to move in
the right way that we should move, then that's how we should
move. I think that part of what they
could have done, they could haveadded on to the compound.
They could have gotten Robyn closer than what she was.
They could have even built a fucking tiny house trailer

(57:54):
edition. Something, somewhere, something
in their. Backyard, there is some sort of
structure that they actually could have.
Been there in some fashion 150% so this is a silly.
Like necessary quarters to her. And she said no.
Janelle's question. Yeah, well, yeah.
And she they were like, she said, no, I couldn't live in
Janelle. 'S place.

(58:15):
It's crazy to me that this is the necessity when if they had
actually gone from this compoundthat they're in and made this
function for another five years until they could potentially 5
plus years, whatever it is, afford to actually buy the land

(58:36):
and start the build of the thingthat would keep them all
together. The big House.
Or actually search, you know, houses like this exist out
there. There's creepy fucking houses
like that all the way all the there's one not too far from
where I live that I looked at what I was looking at homes and
it was like, is this a boarding house?
Like what is this? This is crazy shit.

(58:58):
So. They were polygamous.
Literally like there are homes like that out there.
You can search broad and far andwide not.
When you need to move next week,that's their problem.
You know, they had some options here and they chose the option
that they did, and that was the poor one.
And as it turns out, wrecked their entire family.
And I'm sorry you guys did that.Yep, Yep, absolutely.

(59:19):
So that's where I'm at with it. Cut to a couple days later and
the adults are back on the couchand they say that the offer has
not been accepted to buy the four homes from that one builder
who is potentially interested inalternative financing.
So we don't get any details on that as far as the financing in
the whatever. But obviously the rejection came

(59:41):
in from Vegas and they have no homes and they need to move in a
week. In seven days, all of a sudden,
Christine's optimistic kind of fun.
Christine's optimistic now because she saw a pretty house
and she was like, maybe I can doit now.
I love it. And so she is feeling like maybe

(01:00:05):
it's going to be OK. Kody's in full meltdown mode.
Full meltdown mode. Tears and tears and tears.
Kody's crying so they they they have to now tell the younger
children that they're planning on moving because they only have
a week before they're moving forsome reason there's this

(01:00:26):
deadline that that has been set.Not exactly sure other than the
schooling, why it's in concrete now the schooling thing makes
sense, but my God. So they have to tell the young
kids that they're moving in a week.
Kody is crying on the couch having he's.
Actually taking some like literal responsibility for

(01:00:47):
choices here seemingly now I don't know that I'm going to say
that these this responsibility is for other people, maybe just
for fear himself, Like I'm not actually giving him like super
big grace. No.
OK, yeah. And that makes sense because it
does seem like a legitimately emotional moment.

(01:01:09):
However, is it of concern of hisfamily or just for himself?
Who knows? Right, right.
It comes up again that Christine's grandfather went to
jail because of polygamy whatnot, and now Kody is taking
it personal, which is part of his crying session is that.
It's and he has to own his own story.

(01:01:30):
Yes and then tears, tears, tears, tears, tears, tears.
All the tears, all the tears, all the tears.
He's really upset. Cut to my favorite moment of the
day when the person that has hated everything about
everything all of a sudden has adifferent take.
All of a sudden, Christine is optimistic about going to Vegas.

(01:01:52):
Imagine that. And she's going to find the
magic. She's going to find the magic.
She's going to find the magic ingoing to Vegas because she saw
one fucking nice house. In a video.
And she thought, yeah, maybe I can do this.
Well, we all know that Christineloves Vegas.
She loves Vegas from their previous trick.

(01:02:13):
She just loves Vegas. OK, cut to she has not been into
this entire move the entire time, has verbally stood up for
herself, quote UN quote. And now she saw a master
bedroom, excuse me, a priMeri bedroom with a nice bathroom and
a home in Vegas. And now she's like, yeah, sounds
like this is what we're doing. I'm dead.
Like I'm dead with all of it. Yeah.

(01:02:36):
Christine, not a fan. I'm sorry, was the question you
asked me. Who was my shit stain for this
week? Yes.
It's Christine. Shit stain, Christine.
Yes. Oh shock gasp.
I can't even believe it. Why?
I'm just really pissed that she was so fucking upset about all

(01:03:01):
this, so upset about that. All this.
I just don't understand. I just don't understand.
I just don't understand. And then she sees the
possibility of a big fancy housefor herself by her lonesome, and
she is like, yeah, I guess I'll be OK.
Yeah, yeah. Like it, I'm not saying that the

(01:03:23):
actual reality of that transition is as simple as the
show made it seem like, but if it was, that's some shady ass
bullshit. Like that's some shady ass
bullshit if you are going to putup this much of a fight and

(01:03:45):
feelings and whatever. And you know what?
I'm not saying she's wrong in her fight and her feelings.
Yeah, do it. But if you are immediately
swayed. Yeah, buy a nice bedroom.
Buy a video of a house that you're like, fuck yeah, yeah.
Now, I'm not saying you're a terrible person.
Right. Because like.
But we need to, we need to own up to that shit.

(01:04:07):
We need to own up to that shit and just say, I didn't realize
that I could have it better now than I did back then and I will
take the better now and then I did back then.
Like that's fine. But fucking own up to it a
little bit maybe. And yeah, and it's like parallel
brush with not only her decision, but then I felt also a

(01:04:28):
little bit of editing or something with the show where
it's like, oh, and all of a sudden Christina is like this
and that's that. And it's like we have just spent
all of this time listening to how Christine is not into this
and now she's just fine. Like clown shoes?
I don't know that we have the full story in anything.
I am not. I am not saying.
And listen, if someone wanted toget me one of those homes, I

(01:04:50):
might be like, yeah, let's move to Vegas.
Beautiful stuff. Go take it cool.
Great. Pool in the backyard.
Love. Low maintenance landscaping.
Let's do it. I am just saying that for the
portrayal of Christine in this episode, she will get my shit
stain. Who's your shit stain?
My shit stain is for Kody Brown because Kody Brown generally

(01:05:12):
deserves the shit stain as usual, but also because there's
something to do with him and Robyn moving to Vegas.
There's some reason that Robyn is totally.
Dad showing up. Her dad.
Oh, he. Made real.
He conveniently is, you know, just so.
Familiar. He's just so.
Familiar with Las Vegas? Isn't that convenient?

(01:05:33):
Oh, love it. There's a reason he was speaking
to Christine with enthusiasm before they recorded that couch
session before when she called them out for being too
enthusiastic about it. He has bought hook, line and
sinker into his and Robyn's or Robyn's thing about why they
need to move. Oh, we need to move is the

(01:05:53):
story. And she's, oh, just convenient.
My here's Vegas, she has family there, etcetera, etcetera.
This sounds a little bit like maybe I should give it to Robyn,
but I'm giving it to Kody because he is into it.
He is buying it, he's promoting it, and that is not good.
He is favoring one wife over hisothers and he repeatedly says

(01:06:15):
that he doesn't, but this one isa huge example of him doing
exactly that. Liar and a fraud.
Liar and a fraud. I agree 100% wholeheartedly.
Who is your mustard seed, darling?
Logan. Yes, Oh yes.
Logan is my master. Logan.
Logan. It came to me like 2.5 seconds

(01:06:36):
ago. Yep on.
But what a gem and what a doll. And I just am 150% convinced
that this young man has grown upto be a stellar glad.

(01:06:57):
And, you know, I just kind of like that.
I kind of like seeing young men make the right choices, do the
right things, support their people, you know, not rush to
judgement. Like, he is just a class fucking
act. He's a class fucking act.
He totally is. And I really, really, really,

(01:07:18):
truly enjoy it. So, Logan, thank you.
Thank. You.
That is a great mustard seed. Yeah, I think this episode, even
though there was some fucking Christine Ness, I want to give
Christine a mustard seed becauseI think that while Meri and

(01:07:38):
Robyn were with Kody in Vegas, she really spearheaded putting
this party together. And so I want to give her that
because she does get applause all around throughout the
series, basically for being someone who plans parties and
plans get togethers. But I don't know that that's, I
think Meri does that as well. And I think it's really great

(01:07:59):
that she stepped up and had thiscome together with Janelle's
help. I'm putting help in quotes, but
with Janelle's help. And Meri probably was maybe not
completely surprised, but not sothrown off that it was like
disturbing. Like she showed up and she was
like, yeah. And she felt good.
I could, you could tell she feltgood.
And so I was happy that Christine made that happen for

(01:08:23):
Meri. I thought that was great.
Agreed. Can I also elaborate on my
Christinas a little bit, becausenow I'm starting to feel guilty.
But it's not even just I think that maybe I'm making it sound
superficial, that she saw a nice.
Well, it seemed superficial. Yeah.
That she saw a nice house and now she's fine with it.

(01:08:46):
No, but that's what happened. It is what happened, but also I,
I think that maybe sometimes it's simple little shit like
that that has to happen that will make you go, OK, I'll try
it and it'll be OK. Like simple little shit like
that sometimes is what makes yougo all right, I've had a visual

(01:09:08):
and it's not the most atrocious,you know, And so I'm not taking
away my shit stain by any stretch, but I am just trying to
give her a little bit more credit where it seemed like it
was super superficial and I don't know that that's actually
what I was anyway. Doesn't matter moving.
On Yeah, fair enough, fair enough.

(01:09:29):
Yeah. Our keep sweet moment this week
comes to us from Savannah and itis a comment on Spotify.
And she says this podcast is quickly becoming a comfort
lesson. Y'all are so funny and
thoughtful. Heart emoji.
Oh, thank you. Funny and thoughtful.
I know. I'm like, that's so sweet, but

(01:09:50):
like, are you OK? No, I don't mean that in a mean
way. Yes, I know I look rude.
That sounded rude. I just like, we're nuts.
Like we are psychotic. Like funny and thoughtful?
Yes. We're thank God for helping.
We are funny and we are thoughtful.
I Savannah says so, and we believe her.
