Episode Transcript

(00:00):
The sister wives get makeovers and head to the Strip for a
night on the town while Kody stays home to babysit all the
children. How will they react when they
come face to face with all the adult entertainment Vegas has to
offer? What does the nanny do?

(00:22):
OK, so we're done. Good boy, you shut it off.
Do not twist my words. Do not make me a victim.
Sweetie. Just look at the mountain.
That's what you shot that day. It's been nice thing to kid me
over all these years. The sacrifices that I've made to

(00:47):
love you wasted. And I'm hearing like I've and
the background does your tongue.You can say what does the nanny
do? Oh, I think you just did it
perfectly though. Welcome to a very spooky episode

(01:13):
of my Sister Wives podcast. It's funny because this is
coming out Halloween week. It's not even a Halloween
episode of Sister Wives. So that kind of is a bit of a
downer, but I'll take my uppers with my Downers.
That sounds about right. Pretty common if you ask me.
Very common yes, it wouldn't be a episode of my sister wives

(01:35):
podcast without some uppers and some Downers highs and lows, and
we have highs and lows in this episode actually ways that we
were not even expecting, which well that that's actually kind
of nice for ATV show like sisterwives.
This is season 3 episode 10 sister wives on the strip.
So as we know, they're going to the Strip, you know, they live

(01:56):
in Vegas, so they might as well go to the Strip.
And go to the strip they did. We open the episode at the gym,
they're going to be doing their 30 day check in.
They have been dedicated, well some of them maybe more than
others, to change diet and exercise and all of that.
Right off the bat they're kind of saying like, oh, we're going
to go to the gym and they're showing us footage of them

(02:18):
walking in. And then there's Janelle on the
couch or something, and she's like, we've decided to open a
fitness center. Yes, yes 'cause every single
person that they meet that provides a service, you know
their real estate agent. Mona now their.
Trainer. Yes.

(02:38):
I'm sure there's other examples historically and definitely more
to come in the future, but boy do they latch on to a business
idea when they can. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't remember them ever having a successful gym, do you?
No. Oh, interesting.
No. OK, Funny.
OK. Perfect.
And I think, I don't remember how many episodes it was now

(02:59):
where Kody was talking about thehealth food potential business
thing, right? Well I'm sure they'll peddle
that through the gym so. This is it.
Sell the meal plans. Oh my gosh, we could get Shannon
Bedor's frozen dinners in here. The whole thing.
Coming together. After Janelle tells us about
opening this fitness center, shealso says that they are going to
be meeting with an investor, which was like, OK, sounds good.

(03:23):
All right. I don't.
That doesn't sound weird at all.I'm very natural and what I
expected to open this episode about the sister wives on the
strip just so weird. Yeah, it was hard to fall, not
hard to follow, but it was a lot, right?
We were like, wait, what? They're talking about what?
Yeah, I feel like we usually get2 storylines primarily and this

(03:44):
one has many. I don't know, it went lots of.
Places all over the place. Janelle gives us this update,
but we're still at the gym whilethey're going through this 30
day check in and Bill kind of gives us updates on each of the
wives. And then they chime in like it's
like a back and forth, like eachwife gets a little update on
their status with a tidbit from Bill.
Did he start with Christine? Because I feel like Christine is

(04:05):
the one that I remember, but I think it might have been at the
end. I think she might have been the
last one. I think she was the last one.
I think he started with Meri maybe because I, yes, I heard
him talk about each of them. But my favorite poll from it was
that Meri said she just knows that in order to get to the
level of fitness that she wants to that she needs to see Bill

(04:28):
four to five times a week. Yes.
I was like, what a luxury like that's great.
I love it. And it's and it goes great with
something that happens further in the episode about how busy
they're going to be. So.
But she's going to see a trainerfour to five times a week, and I
think that's great. Listen, I wish I could do that.
Yeah. That sounds like a luxurious
life. Yep, Yep.

(04:49):
And I'm sure something that theycan financially afford too.
So that's great. I mean.
Do you think but? I'm guessing this is like a
trade out. OK.
Yeah, Bill is not charging for his services because he gets to
be on this TV show and potentially have this business.
So that's the only reason they're doing this, right?

(05:10):
It has to be a trade out. I assume there's something Yes,
they're definitely getting a bargain.
Yeah, they do Janelle and he is.I don't remember if this is
where he says that she can do more reps like she could.
She couldn't even do a minute before and now she can do like 3
on the. Yeah, that they're doing like a
circuit. So not only does she do 3
minutes, but then she goes and does something else for a few

(05:30):
minutes and something else and then comes back and does 3 more
minutes like that. That's how they're going about
this program with her and that it has been really effective.
Yes, he the vibe was very complimentary for Janelle's
efforts for sure. And I do remember that Christine
was last because Christine, Christine, she just cannot help

(05:53):
herself. Keep her hands to herself.
Does she assault Bill again? Well, she punches him.
I mean, she's, I guess. Oh God, you know.
During her voice over or bells, and they're talking about her
and we see this. She's smiling, the lot of Don

(06:15):
the Stairmaster, and then he's talking to her and she pauses
and smiles and then shoves them on the shoulder.
I don't know. I think there was a closed fist.
I don't. Know you think there was a
closed. Fist, I think it was like this
like you know, I don't know, I just Christine honey, like this

(06:35):
is something else. I feel like if I was to do that
today to like anyone, it would A, be pictured like if other
people were watching it, like, Oh my God, you know, my God, and
B, it would be like, is she 10 years old trying to flirt with
someone like, oh, I don't like it.

(07:00):
Well, that is probably what you could say about Christine across
the board. Like, is she 10 years old trying
to flirt with someone? Yeah, even in her current
marriage. Yeah.
We cut to a couch moment with all the wives and Christine
shares something. Now this is where once again
this episode kind of throws somestuff at us.
Out of nowhere. She shares that she gets the
baby Blues bad and her postpartum depression was very

(07:25):
bad and with a new wife joining the family, all the stress and
anxiety and depression she was feeling, she was having anxiety
attacks. So she went on antidepressants
and anti anxiety meds. Now, another thing about this
scene that sat weird with me washow she's like, and now I'm only

(07:45):
taking half the dose of what I was.
And, you know, all the wives getemotional and it's like a
moment. Like everyone's feeling for her
like you're feeling for her. Like, that sucks.
But it felt a little like, oh, OK.
Like it was. It felt like there was supposed
to be some sort of like, now everything's changed, but
clearly it hasn't. It's only half as bad as it was.

(08:09):
Well, she was weaning herself off of them.
OK. So she was down to half the
dose. Because they don't have to do.
Recommend you just cold Turkey it.
So she was on her way to ending it.
That makes sense, yes. Yeah.
Yeah, and as a much more human way of looking at it, well,
thank you, darling. Well, I'm just saying from from

(08:29):
the perspective of a scene, you know?
And also towards the end, like she's in tears again.
So like, you know, and not to say that you can't still be in
tears, but I guess part it. So what what she's saying is
that the workouts are helping her so much and that's why she
has been able to start lowering the medication, which I fully

(08:50):
believe is a reality and totallycould happen.
That's fine. But I think she might be
overestimating slash jumping thegun a little bit on the problem
resolution level right now because like even just towards
the end of the episode, totally different topic more, you know,

(09:10):
tears about still the stress andthe challenges of the things.
And I mean, I don't it's OK to take medication as long as you
have to take medication. Like give yourself a little
time. Her baby's probably not even a
year old yet, right? Like those hormones are still
there. Take the time.

(09:31):
Yeah, just from the lens of a cold hearted bastard, it felt a
little like, you know, a story you tell after you've reached
some sort of point of maybe I don't want to say conclusion,
but like it didn't come off to me like she was actually in a
better place. It felt a little like, well, I'm
taking the steps, but instead ofthe story being I'm taking the

(09:53):
steps. It was almost like a
congratulatory, like a wrap up, but it wasn't wrapped up.
But you're right, you do have towean off the meds.
So Kody hit it off with Bill immediately.
They are just like bosom buddies.
Brothers. They're like brothers, brothers,
brothers. Bosom Buddies.

(10:14):
Yeah, well. That too.
Yes, shocking that Kody loves Bill.
Pretty shocking that he's obsessed with him.
I never would have pictured thatever happening at all based on
his previous behaviors. Yeah, the surfer and the trainer
totally makes sense. If he had met Matt from the
Christmas tree farm, he'd have cut that hair off by now.

(10:37):
He'd be living a whole another. Life.
Game over. Game over.
So while Kody's letting us know about his, you know, fatal
Attraction to Bill, he's like, oh, we could be partners in a
business. And Bill happens to know Nick,
who is a potential investor and just works in the business.
And it's like, oh, all these pieces are just falling together
for them to have a meeting to discuss.

(11:00):
And when they're starting this meeting, Kody lets us know that
Bill knows about the gym and they know about business.
We know about business. Yeah, and I laughed out loud.
We know about business. That was disturbing, so thank

(11:20):
you for that. Smoke machine turns on.
Oh. God.
You're like, let me run into thebasement, pass the bat, pass the
gun, pass everything. Kody's like we know business.
I can feel the spirit of Robyn entering my body.
Let's. Not.

(11:42):
That's a nightmare from the past.
Yes, they are business planning.They are where they should start
is with locations is like what they're saying.
Janelle talked about how it's important that it's easy to get
in and out of the building and to park because you don't want
any deterrence when it comes to going to the gym.
I know if I have to walk down too many stairs or wash clothes
to get out the door or whatever,I'm not going, she says.

(12:06):
You need that parking lot. You need like basically
handicapped spots, but not handicapped spots for everybody
so that people like Janelle can go to the gym.
Seeing walkways to carry out to the gym.
Moving walkways like gondola or something into the gym.
I'm just gonna sit here and get to the gym.
Wow. Yep.

(12:26):
You know what reminds me of the,you know, handful of times in my
my 20s when I did walk to a gym and worked out, it said gym, but
then we just went to the bar afterwards.
Like we walked to the bar, We didn't even walk home.
We just walked to the bar and then got a ride home.
Burning off the booze. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(12:48):
You know. Like look, we, you know, did
something in advance. At least you went to the gym,
you know 5. Times about 5.
My workout regimen, let's call it that, is generally like
walking around the neighborhood and stuff.
Like I'm not even going to go toanother place to do anything.
Like if I can't do it leaving the door from the from my home

(13:09):
then it's probably not happening.
Yeah, OK. So really what their business
plan should be is to build gyms in everyone's.
Home Bill should have pop up little gym that he goes from
door to door. Kody tells us that they're going
to be unbelievably busy now thatthey're starting this business.
They're going to be so busy, crazy busy.
So I was surprised that we immediately cut to the wives are

(13:33):
going to go get pampered and they're going to go have a night
on the town. And I'm like, what was this
transition? It was literally Kody saying
that they were going to be so busy and they're going to have
to hunker down. And then it's immediately like,
we're going to go get our hair done and we're going to go spend
some time on the strip. Like, was this supposed to be
funny? Well, it was also disjointed

(13:55):
because there's like a, it was weird because there's like a, a
start of the day and then maybe like a middle and then the end
of the day. Maybe an outfit change.
Or was it 2 separate days? Like, did they have two
different adventures and one wasthe Manny and Petty's and then
one was Vegas? Because they go and they do like

(14:16):
these glamour shots? When did that happen?
What I pieced together was that they left the house, they went
and got hair done, took photos, very glamour shots.
Very glamour shots. Very glamour shot.
Or wives glamour shots. Right?
Like they had individual portraits and then all bored

(14:36):
together. Oh wow, yeah.
And boy, was it something. Well, Janelle looked good.
There was one point where they had the light on her and she was
well lit and it was like, OK, Janelle, she was looking cute.
But yeah, it was a little. It was just very glamour.
I didn't know why the photos were happening, but I guess they
are on ATV show. So it was an opportunity to take
some new photos for press. And then I think they did go to

(14:58):
the strip that same night like Ido.
I feel like that was all in one day.
I don't know that it was in different days.
But there was like an outfit change.
OK, OK, I didn't notice the outfit change.
Yeah, because Robyn was in the bright flowery, the purple and
yellow and white top, and then on the strip she was in a faux
handkerchief top. Oh.

(15:20):
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Faux handkerchief. What does that mean?
You know, like a handkerchief pattern.
Yeah, OK. But.
Like in a tie, it was like a blue shirt with like that kind
of pattern and of course long black sleeves underneath the
tank top that had that pattern, yes.
Yeah, yeah. When they were on the strip, it
kind of blended in with all of the visual craziness that was

(15:43):
happening. Christine tells us that modest
is the hottest. Modest is the hottest when
talking about their modesty and how they dress and.
Look at that hussy today. You know, like look at that
hussy. Today is a hussy.
Today modesty. No.
OK, not going to do that. Well, you already did.

(16:05):
Modest is the hottest. Thank you, Christine.
She talks about how Mckelty is not modest and that is her
number one thing with Mckelty because that Mckelty tries to
cross those lines with her clothing, her suggestive nether
regions. I don't think she said nether
regions, but also she was talking about like her neck,
yeah. Absolutely no cleavage,

(16:28):
Absolutely not. But cleavage to them is
collarbone, which are very different things, right?
They can see your atoms at blend.
They're like, Oh my God, yeah, inappropriate.
It the level of modesty I guess is, you know, certainly do I
think Mckelty is pushing some boundaries with her, her parents
acceptance levels, Yes I do. Yes, I do believe she is doing

(16:51):
that. Such a rebel.
But to me, what she is wearing is perfectly acceptable.
Yes so like like parents right now if they were looking at
their daughter wearing that saying you want me to fight her
about that? No, I have other fights.
They. Would be like this is a
blessing. She dresses really well.
Right, like her stomach is covered and her shorts aren't

(17:14):
showing her ass cheeks so you are killing it.
You're doing great. You're doing great, sweetie.
Janelle says that she's told Maddie that she has to wait till
she's 18 to get her ears piercedor horribly modify her body in
any other way. And I believe that that is
perfectly wonderful. I am a fan.
I think that's great. I don't think there is anything

(17:35):
wrong with setting boundaries like that for your children.
Although I do think I would let my teenage girls get their ears
pierced. This is it.
Like I feel like a girl who's 12years old, maybe even younger,
can get their ears pierced. In my opinion, yeah.
I don't know. But if the parents don't want
to, the parents don't want to, whatever, fine, I guess.
You know, that's one of those like, not a hill I would die on
to be like. I just wouldn't want my daughter

(17:56):
to feel like out of place. Like 14 year old girls probably
all have their ears pierced and I wouldn't want my daughter to
feel out of place with that. But I also don't want her to
make choices in life, Chris, just so that she doesn't feel
out. Of so that she fits in.
I know. Body mutilation just to fit in.
Well. Did I join the cult?

(18:18):
The AUB. Oh yes, you did.
You did join the AUB. You have always said modest is
the hottest. Listen, I'm only modest because
I'm not the hottest, But other than that, you know, if I had
it, I would flaunt it. Well, this.
Oh yeah. I'm saying, oh, same.
Oh, if I had it, you'd be seeinga lot of different outfits on

(18:39):
me, that's for sure. You know, after we hear about
the 18 year old requirement for piercings, etcetera from
Janelle, we cut to a commercial break.
And we usually don't bring up commercial breaks, but this one
I had to bring up because they're doing the whole like,
oh, we're going to be walking down the strip.
We're going to, we're going to see things that we didn't know
we wanted to see. And it ends with this stripper

(19:00):
booty bumping with this like a little easy beady bikini thing
on a box, probably out on the strip.
And it's so great because it's so salacious.
They like, slow it down and put the like, screeching, halting
music on it. Like, Oh my God, Can you
believe? And I got a kick out of it
because it's like, wow. TLC is like, this is the best

(19:22):
footage we've shown in years, you know?
Like we're really pushing the envelope.
With this one look at us, we'll show all the strippers we can.
How many strippers can we fit into this Sister Wives episode?
A lot, by the way. Actually, a lot.
We see a dozen, if not more strippers on this episode.

(19:45):
It's great. Yeah, we should not call them
strippers. No, no dancers and performers,
entertainers. I am.
Some of them were wearing like showgirl outfits where it was
they were not strippers. I am being snarky by saying
that, but you know, people in the.
The Browns world would think that they're strippers, in fact.
In fact, I believe Meri says shethinks it's really sad because

(20:08):
that's someone's daughter. Yes, yes.
So. She does speak, speak these
truths. On the other side of this
commercial break, we get to review some footage of Kody
being left the kids at Christine's house.
Now, I don't know, it just, I mean, to have all the kids in

(20:32):
one house in general does createthat chaos.
Like we've seen the footage before when they're returning
home, there's the extra levels. Remember with Danielle and her
husband, that was crazy. But even with not that energy,
there's a lot of kids. So there's a lot of stuff going
on. While the wives are leaving,
Kody let's Logan borrow his car.Him and Maddie are going to go

(20:55):
take the car somewhere. Now I thought that was rather
interesting because they spend ahot second talking about the
car. Logan is in disbelief that his
dad is letting him borrow the car.
He is stoked. Oh, stoked he is.
Stoked. Yeah, he is like, Oh my God,
Dad's letting me take his car. Big dill, big dill, very big
dill. And that actually continues for

(21:18):
like 20 seconds or 30 seconds. It's long.
Like they talk about this for a hot minute.
Like it's like, OK. Well, he runs outside and tells
like the the moms are just starting to leave.
Dad's letting me drive his car, I think Meri says be careful.
And he's like, are you kidding? Of course I'll be careful.
Like, I'm kind of terrified, youknow?

(21:38):
It's the most precious cargo in that family.
Is his fifth wife. Yeah.
The Lexus and Kody is sure to explain to us that part of the
reason he doesn't let others drive his car often is because
he is always bouncing back and forth between 4 houses and so he
needs access to his vehicle at all times.

(22:02):
Which part of me hears this and goes, you are so obnoxious.
But then part of me recalls being a teenager using parents
vehicles. And if you didn't know parents
were going somewhere or they didn't know you took the car or

(22:23):
whatever. Like people would legitimately
be stranded. And this is back in the time
when it we weren't all just quite.
So even though there's cell phones and things, it still
feels a little older, you know, like it's just weird.
So I was like, I think maybe he has a valid point there that he
really does have a schedule to keep track of that probably not

(22:45):
everybody else can if he's trying to, right?
I mean that he does need his car.
So I kind of got that and he's like, I don't have to go
anywhere tonight. That car can just whatever you
know. It's weird because there's other
cars that the wives have cars and things, but he does seem to
have the most, like he's got to run around, but they're the ones
that are probably, I was bringing the kids places too,

(23:07):
so. Well right, because then I'm
like OK he could take the wives car but if he's going to stay at
Meri's house a mile away and then she needs the other wife
needs the car first thing in themorning.
Now we have an added level of communicating to get vehicles
shuffled that is a pain in the fucking ass.
Can you even imagine? You know, so like I now do I

(23:27):
think he needs that specific carto do all of this?
I do not actually Kody Brown, but I do think him having a
strict boundary of nobody gets to take my car probably makes
sense here. Like I don't think it's him
being like gross about anything.I think it's probably just
logical. I think so too.
Shocking. Ellie, what's wrong with you?

(23:49):
I did join the cult. You did join.
The cult. Oh God, is that what's happening
with this episode? Oh no.
I'm speechless, I don't know what to say.
Oh, I think I have a fever. The transition is already
happening. It's all the sounds that you're

(24:09):
making that are making me not feel right.
I'm hallucinating. Yeah, I have that effect on
people. Yeah, I talk and they're like,
I'm going crazy. So at this time where we're
seeing Kody be the father of theMillennium, he says, you know,
Dayton has Asperger's and I'm going to help him by putting him

(24:30):
in a space to focus on his homework, which, OK, that was a
bit of a crude sumMeri, but Dayton has Asperger's and Kody
recognizes that he fixates or daydreams is kind of like this
kind of back and forth. And so he asked him to go to his
room, I think to. Christine's room.
Oh, to. Christine's room.
That's right there at Christine's house to focus on

(24:52):
his homework. And we do circle back to that.
But even with just this single instance, it seems like, yes,
Kody great did a good job and he's doing his homework, OK.
I, you know, he gave us the added description of, you know,
why Dayton needs this extra helpto focus.

(25:13):
But I think it's laughable to think that any average child
would be able to sit at a table in that home right then and
there and be completing homeworkwith 15 other children running
around and screaming. And there was a point in the
beginning where Kody, I think, was walking Aurora.

(25:38):
One of the girls, yeah. I, I can't remember which one,
maybe it was Brianna, but walking her through and she's
like in tears and having a meltdown.
And he's pushing her through thekitchen like, she just needs to
eat, get out of the way. Like, I just need to feed her.
Which, by the way, I understand that.
I I fully know that feeling. But yeah, all this mass chaos is
happening around and he's like, well, Dayton has Asperger's.

(25:59):
You had to bring him to a quiet place to do his homework.
No, any kid would be like, are you fucking kidding me?
You want me to do this right now?
This. I would not be able to, no.
As an adult, I would be like this.
I can't do this. It was bonkers.
So I mean, fine, acknowledging helping your son, great.
But expecting anyone to be able to do that right then and there

(26:22):
is just kind of nuts. Yeah, very true.
Mckelsey comes home in a tank top, and it is the widest
shouldered tank top I've seen ina hot minute.
I didn't see a bra strap. Technically it was a tank top
and we couldn't have that in this household, so Kody had to
let her know. Well, he asked, Would you be
home? Is that what you wore earlier?

(26:44):
I think she says like I had to or something and I don't
remember if it went anywhere. There was something about France
and some project or something and she's like I told mom.
Yes. And so some maybe reason why she
would have been allowed to wear what she was wearing.
The France project What? Something I don't, I don't know.

(27:06):
Yeah. Maybe everybody in her class had
to wear black. Like if they were it was a group
project and they all were going to dress with black tank tops
and berets. That she couldn't be the only
one not in the. That could be.
Who knows? I'm just coming up with any
again, the fitting in this of itall.
Yeah. But that was short lived.
It was just, yes, I, I Mckelty came home and I had to have a

(27:28):
conversation with her right awaybecause I simply could not.
And then they started like, texting the wives as if that's
something like status update. Mckelty was in a tank top.
Also it was like a side texting phone.
Oh so weird. OK, he's sending a strongly
worded text, whatever that means.

(27:49):
We cut to the wives going zip lining.
I thought this was so funny. I was having some feelings about
it initially when I saw that this is what they were doing,
but then I needed to ask you a question about it.
Yeah. Did Janelle Zipine?
I don't think so. I don't think she did either,
OK, because at first if they allthree had gone, I was going to

(28:10):
be like, Oh my God, I love that they're doing something that
Robyn can't do. Like I just thought it would
have been he's funny. Like yes, yes, please go do
things that Robyn can't that. Would have been precious.
That would have been lovely. Well, I just thought it would
have been kind of a dig, but then when I realized that
Janelle didn't go for whatever reason, totally fine, I wouldn't

(28:30):
have been able to go. But like, hysterical.
So I just kind of wanted Robyn to be the only one.
That would have been so great. That would have been them.
Like flying through the sky in the zip line and poor Robyn
sitting back watching. Yeah, OK.
Sorry, I just had to clarify that.
No, because as it was going on, they basically make note of
Robyn not going because she's pregnant and they they're like

(28:53):
making jokes about her belly or whatever.
Christine says she swallowed a ball.
It was the dumbest joke ever, but it was all so funny.
But it was dumb, you know? She swallowed a ball.
You should have saved that for what Meri said because what Meri

(29:17):
did was gave this like creepy low voice.
I like adventure. When talking about the zip line.
Yeah, she was like, Oh yeah, I totally want to do it.
I like it, Ben. Sure.
She was titillated. She was excited.

(29:39):
Meri the risk taker. That's what they always say.
That's what we always say about Meri, who they are.
There's a lot of risks taken. Most of them are on her head and
on her face, but that's a whole other thing while we're going
through the scene. Yes, I thought it was just going
to be that Meri and Christine were going first.
And so they both are in the harnesses.

(30:01):
And what we find there, what we see is that they're part of a
zip line. I don't know what would you call
it, like a across a Plaza. Yeah, don't you've, you haven't
seen people do that. No, I have seen it.
I just don't know how to describe like it's a wire that
you slide down. Yeah, it's a zip line across
like down Fremont. Street.
Fremont Street, Yeah. OK.

(30:21):
So they're from like a platform that's a little bit higher that
then goes down to another platform.
So, you know, it kind of goes. Yeah, they're over all the
people walking in there in the in the center.
Yes. And it looked fun.
I thought it looked very fun. I know you're it's not your
thing. It's not my thing, but for
those. People who do it I.
Think it would be. I'm sure there's a rush involved

(30:43):
in that. I would be so nervous.
And then I bet as it was all like over halfway done.
I'd be like, I don't want this to end.
And then I'd get done and I'd belike, I want to go again.
But I think at first I'd be verynervous, yes.
I would probably pee myself, poop myself and pass out, you
know, if I was a betting. Can we get the medics over here?

(31:04):
Oh my gosh. Wow.
I was going to try to make that sound scary, but you did it
justice. I.
Was like, you wasted that, you wasted that.
What did she say? I like danger.
I like adventure. Adventure.
Oh, that Meri only pointing out that I thought Meri and
Christine were going first because they didn't really make

(31:26):
it clear that Janelle was not going to go.
From what I watched I I think it.
Was I wonder if Janelle went up and was like maybe I will and
then got too scared and stopped.So that's why we didn't see any
like anything explanation of if she would or wouldn't.
I don't know. But yes, it it very then quickly
cut from Meri and Christine doing that to.

(31:50):
I. How do I to them having like a,
you know, real chummy moment with the father and the son on
the strip? Yes, does that.
They and they were also surrounded by the Holy Ghost.
We just didn't see that on film.OK, OK, fair enough.
Well, it's almost very Halloweenand vibes.

(32:12):
The people that dress up on the strip or on what is the Fremont,
you know, it's very. The old strip.
The old strip, right? Yes, and it's very much like
Times Square, whatever people are dressed up, there's a street
performers, blah, blah, blah. And this first couple that they
show us interacting with, the sister wives interacting with is
Jesus, who is wearing what I would describe as a robe turned

(32:37):
into a diaper. Yeah.
It's like the size of really bigoversized Whitey tighties.
Yeah. And that's it.
Looks. Like adult diaper.
Adult diaper, But I think it's pretty clearly supposed to be
Jesus. Like long hair, maybe stigmata,
I don't know. But it's like there's Jesus and
then there's God the Father. What was God wearing?

(32:58):
Listen, I don't this is not going to be a fairway to
describe it, but it's the only thing that came to my brain when
you ask that question. And I'm picturing like one of
the like the bad creatures in The Little Mermaid, like the bad
devil guys in The Little Mermaidthat have like these like things

(33:22):
in this thing but like spray painted white and cloth on him
like he had some. Like eels?
No, like what is the I am not describing this well, but like a
a bad creature in one of these cartoon movie is it's like
coming at you, but instead of itbeing that, it's like all that

(33:45):
but in white and this is now Godor something.
There was there was some things happening with the head.
I I don't want to say it was just like hair.
I want to say it was more of like a headpiece or was there
maybe some shape to it? Yes, that's where I'm getting
the eels, but like there was. It was twisty.
Turvy phalanges coming off. Of I think so, yeah.
Yeah, that's why I'm saying an under the sea character, but

(34:08):
with the gods robe on or something.
What was lovely was that they told the sister wives they were
so happy to see them and that they support them.
Yeah. So that was really nice.
Yes, they did some handshakes, maybe some fist bumps.
Yeah, Christine might have assaulted Jesus or God.

(34:29):
Well, now she does. She does nearly cheat on her
husband with a Silver Street performance.
That is true, but. Are we there yet?
We're not. We're not.
Quite there yet, but you're right, there is an affair on the
horizon here. Right within a millimeter, yes,
just to be clear. She definitely broke her

(34:51):
covenant. Boy, is she stepping out.
I tell you this woman. She's, you know, pushing those
boundaries. We cut back to Kody at home
checking in on Dayton doing his homework and they kind of
wrapped that up. And the LOL moment for me was
Kody was like, I helped get homework done and.

(35:13):
He literally seemed shocked. And it looked he had literal
wonder in his eyes. It reminded me of, like, if I
was to help a child get their homework done, and I taught if I
helped your child get their homework done, and I'd be like,
I helped them get their homeworkdone.
Like, one of those moments of like, like, yeah.
Which is fine 'cause you're not their.
Parent, it was shocking. It was like he's never helped

(35:34):
anyone do their homework before.Like ever.
I mean. It was crazy.
It was something. It was something he was very
proud of himself. Yeah.
And I'm sure Robyn would have been like, Oh my God, Kody, good
job. He did his homework.
I. Yeah, well, they they definitely
have that dynamic right with Kody of the when people ask, oh,

(35:57):
you got the dad to babysit kind of vibes right where it's like
there's no babysitting. This is babysitting child.
Parenting your children. Like.
Totally parenting your children.I've just never seen a parent
look so astonished. Most parents would do what he
was doing and not even think twice about it.
You know, it's one of those firsts and then you probably
never really think about it thatway.
Most parents have to fight through the homework every

(36:21):
single night and so they are like, Jesus Christ, I'm never
doing this again. I don't even care if he fails
school because I can't possibly do this another day in my life.
And then if you actually do succeed one night you'd be like,
that was a really good day. I'd like to have more days like
that. Not I tried once it worked and

(36:43):
now I'm amazed because his wife is probably telling him I try to
get him to do his homework. You know what this is literally,
actually, literally, literally it's probably that mom has been
struggling with this and asking for help and she's going to come
home and he's going to be like, well, I don't know, it was that
hard. I just had him go up in the
bedroom and then he did it just fine.

(37:04):
I'm almost. That's what's going to happen.
I'm inspired by my own ability to frankly get this done.
And what are you struggling with?
Why is that so hard? What's so hard about this?
Just like when you talk about the whole kids are different for
mom than dad every single time. And yes, I've certainly been
accused by my ex that, you know,I don't understand why this is

(37:28):
so hard for you. Can't be that complicated.
Oh, sure. OK, Sir.
All right. All right.
Kody Brown. Teenagers, preteens and homework
sounds like an everyday nightmare on Elm Street.
I walked right into it. Kody doesn't remember the last
time he had a boys night out. It's been months.

(37:51):
He just doesn't get a boys nightout.
Like his wives are taken there. They they're just going out,
they're bonding. They get to have nights like
this and I can't remember the last time I did.
How many times do you think of its wives have done this?
How many times in a year, unlessthere's like a special wedding
event or something, or getting like, how many times in a year
do you think the four of them get to leave with zero children

(38:13):
attached to them? I suspect since they started
filming, it's only for filming. Yeah.
Like I don't think they ever do it right.
Yeah, no. Like once a year maybe.
Right, Right. Like what are you?
Oh, OK. Well, it's great because.
For me, For me. I wonder if the next episode is
going to be Kody going out with his friends for a boys night.

(38:33):
I wonder. They think we're idiots and
you're and we'll watch it and we'll be complaining about it
here next week. Here we go.
There's another highlight that'salong the theme of.
Wait, does Kody try to say well there's four of them and there's
only one of me so I should get 4boys nights to compare to their
one night? Did he say that?

(38:54):
No, but I'm like, wouldn't that be something just so ridiculous
that would come out of his mouth?
I've got to do it once a week. Well, if they all four get to go
then I get 4 of them. That's just how this goes.
On brand for Kody. They all get time away from
their houses and I, you know, whatever the logical explanation
he wants. Yeah, but makes sense for Kody.

(39:14):
The highlight of the episode forme, One of my favorite moments.
I love that. That's all I have to say.
And you're cracking up. This was so.
Good. Now does Gwendolyn bring the
marker up to Kody or like, is hetalking to Gwendolyn?
I don't know if he's talking to her.

(39:34):
It is Gwendolyn and it is Kody. I don't remember exactly how the
interactions started. Yeah.
It might have just simply been with her saying I really like
the smell of this marker and then held it up to him.
Something. Either that or she was just
smelling it and commenting on itand he was like.
Oh my God. Telling her like, no, you can't

(39:57):
sniff markers, you can't sniff glue, you can't sniff paint.
Like he kind of. I don't remember his example.
We have to have a long conversation about these things.
He's talking about how you don'tsmell inhalants basically is
what he's getting at. And what I love is and the
reason I was asking who brought it up because if it's, I think
it was Gwendolyn, but there's maybe Isabel, There's one or two
other children. And then Isabel Aspen, excuse

(40:20):
me, is standing next to him eating some ice cream or eating
something and like half listening and you kind of see
her putting a pieces of it together and somebody takes a
break in his sentence. She's like, no dad.
Those are like the scented markers.
Like she's supposed to smell them.
They smell good. They make them.
They make them that. Way they make them that way.

(40:45):
Which is so great because the marker that she was holding, it
didn't have a label where, like,remember, the Crayola ones at
least had like, the fruit or something on it.
So it was a little more obvious that it scented.
This one did not look like that,to be fair.
But then he takes it. He's like, Oh yeah, OK.
But then he goes, that's a terrible idea.
Why would they do that? You know, like we're

(41:07):
incentivizing kids to smell markers like what it was.
And Aspen was so nonchalant about it.
Like she was totally just like, well, no, I mean it's just they
make them smell good so that youthink that's what they.

(41:27):
It was good. It was so funny because I can't
even be mad at Kody for this. I mean, honestly, yeah.
I would be like, don't sniff markers.
Like, I would you'd say that like, you'd get to be sniffing
markers. But then he kind of seems blown
away by the concept. And it's like, this is not new.
I mean, it's not like these justcame out last year for the first
time. Like, come on now.

(41:48):
Oh, Mylanta. And I also, there's a touch of
like, he didn't even ask what she was doing or anything.
He just like lobbed into his, you know, patriarch lesson
giving or whatever he does whereit's like, OK, you can't do
this. And it's like she literally can
and that's what they're manufactured for.
But OK, but. He was like danger, danger,
danger. A marker you know like must,

(42:09):
must solve this problem now. The marker, Oh my God.
So Gwendolyn's getting high and Kody thinks this is a problem,
and then Aspen reminds him drugsare good.
Is it Mckelty that's getting under Kody's very thin skin?
OK, No, I thought that might be neon.

(42:31):
Right. OK, I got these two scenarios
mixed up I felt. Like I didn't get it so stupid.
It's like he was scolding both of them or something, I don't
even know. He was stomping around because
the table need to be cleaned offbecause the younger kids needed
to do their homework. And so he was like throwing a
fit. Why haven't you gotten this

(42:51):
taken care of already? I told you.
And Liam was like, you absolutely did not tell me, Dad.
I didn't know that you needed meto do that.
And he's like, yes, I did. And they're like, no, you
didn't. Who do we believe?
And then Leon has a meltdown because they have so much to do

(43:15):
and not enough time to do it. No dad's yelling at them because
they didn't know they needed to clean up the table.
It was a lot. Talk about overstimulation.
Like hardcore sometimes when youwatch this family, right?
Like right? Back on Fremont Street, the
wives are, you know, walking along, doing whatever you do,

(43:38):
looking at the things, buying some candies, whatever,
whatever, killing the time because, you know, these people
don't have real fun. So like, whatever this is, is
whatever they're doing. They're just walking around.
They're almost like tourists, I believe is what Janelle or
Christine. One of them said.
There was some sort of monster looking thing and I think it had
the face of Predator, like Alienand Predator like Predator

(44:02):
movies. It was.
Yeah, some. Sort of not pleasant looking.
Not pleasant. But also.
Like if you know enough about films and popular culture,
you're like, Oh yeah, I can place that.
It's not necessarily something you would be so freaked out
about, but had a little monster vibe and this thing was walking
around and obviously they have acrew and lighting and so, oh,

(44:23):
here's some attention and whatever.
And Robyn did not like the monster following them.
It gave her creepy vibes. She was not into it.
The monster does make a return, but prior to that, Christine
sees her knight in shining armor.
The Tin Man. The Tin Man.
He was all. In silver he was metal, he was

(44:46):
tin. See how I see what you did
there? Did he need a heart?
Or was he like me and he needed?A.
Brain. Who knows?
Yes, another St. Performer, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
His look was good. He was.
Covered head to toe in silver itwas and they were discussing.
Some of the reactions that he was having, like with some of

(45:09):
the passers by, do you remember what that was?
What? No, I remember him about them
talking about. Them, yes, because then
Christine. Decides that she knows that what
he really wants is a kiss on thecheek or something.
Right? Is that is that?
Kind of how that went. I think so.
I don't think. You missed anything.

(45:29):
OK, so Christine decides that she knows what?
The street performer that doesn't speak, that only
gestures, wants, and clearly that's a kiss on the cheek.
But she wouldn't really, really kiss him on the cheek.
Oh no, she would only get cha just close enough and and when
she said just a little bit away,she meant a little like she was
very close. Like I couldn't tell if she

(45:51):
touched. Him or not?
Literally, yeah. And and that was.
Well, I, we, I don't know if we could tell with the first cheek
that she kissed because she did that.
And then he, he enjoyed it. So she said, well, then he
seemed like he wanted his other cheek kissed.
So she, you know, went to the other cheek and this is where
you can see, like, if those lipsdidn't brush, they were

(46:12):
literally a hair, yes. From brushing, yes, this tin
man's cheek. Right.
Like she would have had silver on her lips.
Yeah. So I.
Feel like we watched her cheat. On Kody twice.
It's a lot. It's a lot on.
Film. That's a lot, you know.
This hussy. This hussy.
She's going around. Assaulting.

(46:32):
People sexually harassing them, it's just a lot.
The poor Tin Man. And then they kept showing
little shots of him again, I don't know what the statute of.
Limitation says, but it is on film so you could win the suit.
Consult your counsel and see. Because I didn't see consent

(46:54):
there, Sir. I.
Did not see consent given you did lean into it Well this is
what's what's funny is. It did.
It did give him a little heart. It warmed his heart.
It gave some oil in those creakyjoints, whatever you want to
say. Because he was like, of course
he didn't talk. That was me being on a podcast.
But he, he gesturing. He was gesturing.

(47:15):
Of course he didn't talk. He was just.
We have dedicated far too much. Time to the Tin Man.
But it was great. Well, also because the circus
music. Happened again.
Oh my God it is. There was some weird stuff.
And I'm like why do? We have to hear this music.
It's horrible. Yeah, so this actually was a
good. Halloween episode.

(47:36):
Because it does kind of fit. There's some scary stuff.
There is. Scary stuff.
So as Christine is kissing the Tin Man, Oh yes, cheating on her
husband. Because and initially.
When Robyn started to tell us about the monster following
them. And then we see this, yes,
character standing behind them, which I hadn't even put

(47:57):
together. The you're walking with a film
crew. Like, duh.
Obviously people are going to bedrawn to that, especially the
people that walk in costumes on Fremont Street late at night.
But it's a certain kind of person, you know, for some
reason, not shocking to me, apparently was to them.
And I, I was annoyed that Robyn was saying this because I was

(48:21):
like, of course, nothing even happens with the monster.
She just has to talk about how there's a monster behind them.
And I'm just rolling my eyes at everything she says.
Well, after Christine assaults the Tin Man and the monster
assaults Robyn. He put his hand on her shoulder.

(48:42):
I don't know where. And she was I was she?
I think she. Might have been on her phone.
She was distracted, to be fair, she was doing something.
And he put his hand on her shoulder and it was like total
real time. Like she looks over like it's
just like, who's trying to get my attention?
And then she jumps. It was.
It sounds like a jump. Scare from the monster.

(49:03):
It was so. Good now.
Do I think I would have done exactly the same thing?
Yet I would have been pretty close I.
Would have. Certainly screamed at the very
least because I can see how thatwould be jarring, but I was just
glad the monster circled back tosomething because at first I was
annoyed that she talked about it.

(49:24):
This is it. I think I would have been
freaked out too. But I'm glad it happened to
Robyn. It couldn't have happened to a
better person. Of course, of course it had to
happen to Robyn. And then she's like, oh,
Christine, whisk me away. And I thought, Oh yeah, that's
right. You don't mess with my sister
wives. And I was like, you're gross.
Yeah, it was right. I was like.

(49:46):
You, David, Because it doesn't. She says these things but it's
not believable. Well right.
It's like her knee jerk reactionwas.
To comfort you because you ran away screaming and freaked out.
Like I think that's not necessarily a sign of anything
that you not gonna sing with your sister, I think.
That's different. Just a great stop it.

(50:09):
Maybe if Christine would have gone over and.
Kicked him in the balls. Then it would have been like,
there you go, right, right. If they've been more.
Immediately attacked with her behavior.
Yeah, beats the. Shit out of the monster.
Oh my God. Lord help me, Lord help me.

(50:29):
Back at home, Kody lets us know the storm has passed because the
kids have. They're getting tired, you know,
it's the evening. They're wearing themselves out.
So luckily for him, the storm has passed.
I did notice that while Kody wasgetting Robyn's kids ready to
leave, which he does tell us at Christine's home, there's a
child old enough, and at Janelle's home there's a child

(50:52):
old enough to leave the young ones with them, which is
understandable. So he's taking Robyn's kids back
home. It's just so convenient that
that's the way it is. But that is the way it is.
I wonder how many times that plays a part.
Where Kody spends his time rightthis you don't have older kids
to. Help.
Shoot, Robyn doesn't have any older.
Kids to help. We haven't even really made that

(51:12):
part of our equation thus. Far no, but certainly probably
pretty. Consistent I.
Would guess so. Now that's something to.
Be watching out for. During this explanation from
Kody, there's he's doing it via voice over.
And so they're showing this footage of him leaving the home
and then arriving at Robyn's andthere's a there's footage of

(51:34):
Aspen holding baby truly. And for some reason it stuck out
to me. It was just so like we we've
talked about the parentificationof the kids throughout the show
and whatever. I'm just thinking of Aspen,
who's this like high school girlsitting with this baby while her
dad leaves. And well, we do know that the
wives aren't out all the time doing their thing.
So this probably isn't an everyday thing for her as far as

(51:56):
being alone, but I feel like that's where she is at a lot.
And it kind of made me a little,I don't know if it's sad, but I
was like, good God, like he leaves and it's like, now you're
the parent while I'm gone. And I feel like that probably
happens while Christine's there a lot too.
So just a little moment. They didn't make it dramatic,
you know, like they didn't. Make it no and.

(52:17):
And part of me is like but totally I.
I think she's old enough to do that.
Like I'm thinking back to my ownfamily when like nieces and
nephews were old enough to help watch younger children.
And I can't give a good example of like how old they were versus
like how late, you know, becausesometimes if like I don't think

(52:42):
people. Were ever out like past like
midnight? Or something by any stretch.
But also I think that the kids that they were babysitting
weren't babies. They were like 7 and 8 year
olds, you know? Like it was different.
Like, even if it was a 1516 yearold, they probably were not
caring for a less than one year old.
Well, no, certainly they weren't.

(53:02):
That spread doesn't exist, you know, So like there's just kind
of that thing. And so I don't really know.
I think for this particular instance, I didn't have a whole
lot of feels about it. Also, I think that Aspen having
had four other younger siblings and helped them as they were
babies, like she's probably far more capable of taking care of

(53:26):
less than one year old than youraverage fifteen 1617 year old,
right? So, and potentially even that
baby's father to be. Honest.
Well, totally. So it's.
There's some weirdness to it, but then also sometimes that's
just how the family works. And you know what, Whatever.
And, you know, yeah, for anyone who hasn't watched the show,
they don't make it a big. Deal like I'm more just being

(53:48):
like just sat weird with me. After Kody's put the.
Kids to bed at Robyn's house. He texts the wives of course
'cause his day he had to watch his children one day.
So you can tell the physical exhaustion, the non verbals, the
size, the whole God I made it. Can't even believe I survived
one night with my children, to be fair.

(54:10):
OK, yeah, I think, I think everyone's probably fought that,
but it's just fucking fuck Kody,you know what I mean?
Just fuck him. Well, totally.
But I mean in reality. It's probably very few and far
between that any one of the parents is alone with all of the
children. So like, even when he's not

(54:33):
there, sometimes the wives are still together, spreading out
some of the responsibilities. So, you know, yeah.
But agreed. Still fuck Kody.
But that would have been a stressful night and I would have
been fucking done at the end of it too.
This is why I'm I'm. Judging.
And should I judge? Who knows?
Sure, he's out. Amen.

(54:53):
So Kody texts the. Wives, though, because he's.
You know, like, oh, I survived anight with my children.
And I'm not sure that they respond.
They don't really show us that, but they show them calling back
in response. They call and he answers the
phone or he calls them. What I think is funny is that.
When Kody was texting, his text was saying no one is answering
me. So he had been trying to get in

(55:15):
touch with each of them separately or at least some of
them separately. And then he said he added all
four of the wives to a group text and said no one's
responding to me. What is going on, basically.
And then they called, I think, yes, I think Meri called him.
I mean, part of the bit is can't.
Really make out what they're saying for most of it, they're

(55:36):
in this, they're probably still on Fremont Street or they're
doing something where they're. I believe they are surrounded by
people. There's.
There's like. Background noise, there's
whatever. There's probably cell phone
service that isn't as consistentas it is today, combination of
things. Is it Meri who's speaking first
on the phone? I think so, yeah.
And I know. Robyn is second, but they say

(55:59):
something about going to do minigolf is what he can pull out of
what she's saying. I believe so.
So he's like. I'm just checking in and they're
like, yeah, we're having fun. Might go mini golfing.
Yes. And he's like you're.
You're. You're not.
Even on your way back yet it's 11. 20 PM. 20 PM.

(56:24):
Now what? I love about this is that that
is so Vegas, right? Like you are.
Bright. Lights, big city, you do not
know the time of day. The energy is high almost at any
hour. And so it's dark out, but it's
still bright out and you don't know what's happening, right.

(56:48):
So I totally get it. And I think it's hysterical that
they're still on to their next adventure.
Yeah, yeah, the hours do kind of.
Go on and on in Vegas. And I also got a sense that
maybe they were pulling his chain a little bit, you know,
like that. It's like we might go mini
golfing. Like throwing it out is like a
joke. But maybe I don't know cuz we
did not. Get a report to when they got

(57:09):
home or really how they did finish their evening.
That conversation ended with himsaying something like maybe it
was you're not even on your way home yet and they said a
falafel. We haven't had a falafel, so
yeah. It was pretty funny though.

(57:30):
Like part of me was secretly hoping.
Secretly, secretly hoping. I don't want the world to know
about my hopes, which was that they were just kind of pulling
his leg like that. They might have been on their
way out the door, but like, yeah, we're going to go mini
golfing. Like I hope they were fucking
going Millie golfing, you know, like.
I hope they're going where? Yeah.
And they got home at 3:00. AM That would have been good.

(57:50):
Because yeah, we don't. We don't.
Know about the end of their night.
We only know that they get to the end of Fremont Street, which
is the more adult portion of thestreet.
They went too far and they had had enough.
Yeah, they. Did go.
They went too. Far, they told us.
We went too far. We went past where we showed.
Up. Yep, and that's where we.
Got to see all of the entertainers and dancers and

(58:11):
performers, some of whom looked like they work for tips, no tea,
no shade. Some of whom look like maybe
they do chorus line dances on a stage where I felt a little
like, why are you including this?
Like this makes it seem like, I mean, they're like showgirls.
Like, come on. But they did have to give us as
many examples as they could of like thighs, midsections, boobs

(58:35):
and bras, all these things. Titty action.
Yeah, just a little. Yeah, some titty action.
Some. Thighs there.
Was like at one point they showed these three women outside
of a venue and they were all wearing corsets and I'm like,
well, they look really nice. Like they actually looked good.
Like I feel like they were outside of the theater trying to
get. People to go in and watch the
show or something, you know whatI'm saying?
Like that's what I feel like they were doing.

(58:55):
Yeah, they're, they were. They were talking about it as if
it. Was all trashy when in all
reality most of the footage was actually not trashy, they just
threw a couple in. Totally not trashy at.
All yeah, it was completely fine, but this was the point
that Meri said it. It just makes me so sad that
someone's little girl, I'm like that little girl is making mad

(59:16):
money out here and working 4 hours a night and living her
best fucking life. So that's somebody's daughter.
Do not worry. About her, that's.
Somebody's little girl. That little girl is just fine.
You know I. Think that's a lot of defaults
in people's minds to people in these situations or that choose

(59:38):
whatever ways they want to make money, right?
And like, I don't know, we don'thave to be on any soap dishes
about anything on this podcast. But I for one, I'm definitely
like pro sex workers pro do whatever you want to do.
Like you want to do your thing, be as safe as you want to have
the rules. You want to respect yourself and
do your thing. So the whole victim thing is
true in certain circumstances, but I do not think the girl

(01:00:01):
that's out there rocking it is feeling like she's a victim
right now. I just don't think so, but who
knows? Janelle has.
A very sound mind when it comes to this, I think.
Yes, Agreed. Yeah.
Then I I feel like she. References that some of these
people must like the attention that they get as well, which I
thought was one of her more interesting points because I do
think that's part of it. There's some gratification and

(01:00:22):
having people be into what you're doing and then obviously
making money if you're making money is they could make some
good money and I'm not having torun and get cocktails.
From people and clear their dirty fucking plates and do
this. I'm just dancing on a bar and I
look fucking good doing it. Yes, yes, that's awesome with
that. You know, and Janelle doesn't.
Mind that they do that. As long as they don't judge her

(01:00:45):
in return for living the lifestyle she wants to live.
So I'm like, Amen, Janelle. That's very sound.
Yep. Now let Mandy get earrings at 14
or 16. Just saying cut to the gym and
it's either the next, it's another day.
They don't say it's the next day, but it's a new day at the
gym. Well, actually it has.
Now officially been 30 days or amonth since they've started.

(01:01:08):
So at the beginning of the episode, they told us they were
approaching the 30 days or the month since they've started
working out. But then they kind of jumped
into gym time and never really clarified that.
At the beginning of this episode, they say they're going
in for their one month check in.So this is their one month check
in, their one month way thing. And that is what we are now

(01:01:28):
getting from that. It's really lovely.
Yeah. Because of that little lack in
clarity. I was like, are we having 230
days? But yes, yes, Janelle says that
she has more energy and strengthsince starting her routine, her
workout routine, which is great.Meri is not looking forward to
the weigh in. Christine wants to have lost 10

(01:01:49):
lbs is her goal. So when she gets on the scale,
she is only down 3 lbs. She shares that she's slightly
disappointed. You know, it's disappointing.
I mean, they have been working for a month, so obviously
everyone probably has different levels of working.
Christine to me is probably, well, Christine and Meri, who
knows. That's my vibe.

(01:02:09):
I don't know how much they're working.
I mean Meri even says this. I'd like to be in the gym four
or five days a week. Doesn't mean she is not sure.
Those two are a little unclear to me.
But Christine is down 3 lbs, which is still down 3 lbs but
not her ten that she would hope for.
Meri was also hoping for 10 and she lost 2.5 lbs and I was going

(01:02:31):
was that 2.5 or 3.5? It's a 2.5 or 1.5 because she
scammed the system to begin with, so maybe she only lost 1.5
lbs which is even more disappointing.
Meri, Wow. Wow.
I'm I will never. Forget that one.
Pound Janelle also lost 3 lbs. She's going to keep on the

(01:02:54):
journey. She seemed to have the best.
I thought she had the best attitude about it, about keeping
on the journey. Well, absolutely.
But. Also it's.
Just kind of one of those things, right?
Like. People don't necessarily when
trying to it, it's always a weight loss journey, right?

(01:03:16):
It's a I'm measuring this by pounds now in that 30 days like
if you looked at. All of them a pic like.
You could probably see that their bodies are changing,
right? Like probably more muscle than
fat in certain areas, probably holding themselves differently,
carrying themselves differently.That's not a pound thing.

(01:03:36):
You sometimes don't have to lose.
Of course, yes, they still are going to lose some pounds
hopefully, right? But like that's it's, it
shouldn't always be about that. So they probably feel like
they've lost 10 lbs because theysee their bodies changing in
different ways, even in probablyhow your pants fit or your sit
on your arms or your whatever, right.
So it's always equated to that, that weight where really that's

(01:03:59):
not. So I hope they still continue on
that journey because it's not about the pounds.
It's about everything else that is giving you more energy and
you're feeling better and your whatever else.
I say this like I've ever been successful in working out or do
anything. No, absolutely no, but that's
true. But that's the thing in.
Contrast to ways. Of.
Losing weight through extreme diet or even contemporary

(01:04:23):
measures like something like Ozempic or something.
If you're not countering your lack of eating with physical
exercise, then yeah, you are just losing weight.
And some of it's probably musclelike your body's like eating
itself because you're not eating.
So when you're working out as part of a well-rounded thing,

(01:04:44):
you aren't going to just lose weight.
You will lose fat, but you will gain muscle, and that does suck
because sometimes people just you can.
You can. Workout and workout and workout
and workout and eat less and eatless and eat less and eat less
and eat less and still not see the results.
Like sometimes that happens right where your metabolism

(01:05:05):
still is just not going to change the way you need it to
change to actually dramatically drop that weight.
So sometimes it's about even if you're going to have the higher
weight, just making it look the best on your body that you can.
Yeah, and if health is your goal, not just thinness cuz.
That's the thing, like people want to be skinny, but also some
people want to be thin and healthy and where do you fall on

(01:05:27):
that and build the two skinniestpeople in this household?
For sure we're the thinnest people on this podcast.
That's 100, which Bill, you know, starts talking about,
about dropping the weight and how it's literally not about
just dropping weight. And he literally drops something

(01:05:49):
on the ground, like a book or something that makes a slamming
noise on the ground. And it was another great moment
from Christine. Her response to him slamming
this thing on the ground by being like, you know, you don't
want to just drop weight becausethat's not good.
And he drops this thing and bends over to pick it up.
And Christine says, good, visualthat part.

(01:06:13):
Yes, yes. OK, good.
I was like, was it that? Part 'cause that.
Was no, it is like that's a nicevisual or good visual it.
Was yeah. And she was like, OK.
And I'm like, you're harassing him still, like.
Oh my God, 'cause it seemed likeit's one of the things where
it's, it's not inappropriate, isit?
But it is. No, I, I, I think she was
actually being. Genuine, but it was just funny

(01:06:35):
because I because what he did hedropped the mat on the floor and
he goes or you can drop the weight bam and then he leans
down he. Picks it up and he.
Goes, but you can pick it right back up again.
That's it. You can pick it right back.
Up again and she. Goes.
That's a good visual because youcan, right?
If you're actually going to keepthe weight off, you have to

(01:06:56):
change your lifestyle to do so 100%.
But if you were to hit pause on the remote and just let it sit
on that, it could quickly become, oh, that's a nice visual
because it's Bill bending over to pick up the thing off the
floor. I was, I was lol in 'cause I was
like, girl. And she knew that.
It's like she said it in the right way.

(01:07:17):
Like she was not being perverted.
Yes, she was not. Being a cheating hussy.
But then it quickly turned into cheating Hussey in my mind.
So that was the truth. God, honest truth.
Well, but God bless Bill. You know, Bill points out that.
Meri wears her stress more than everyone else and so that he can

(01:07:38):
tell this and it was a little, Ifeel like this was a little out
of nowhere. Like, I mean, along the same
lines of the dropping weight, making healthy choices, blah,
blah, blah. Part of that is, you know, if
you carry stress, you will have less of a positive impact that
the work that you're doing will have less of a positive impact.
Your efforts won't matter as much because you're so stressed.
And he points out Meri, and in my mind, I'm going like, what

(01:07:59):
the fuck is she doing? You know, going to the gym,
having this meetings about Jim, they they interact.
But enough where he knows that she wears her stress more than
everyone else. She presents her stress
presents. Than everyone else, yeah.
So. They because they kind of
acknowledge that they all have similar levels of stress, but

(01:08:22):
that he. Can see hers more.
Right. Like Janelle and Christine maybe
don't show it as much as Meri shows.
That shocking, right? I'm not surprised about this,
but also it's but it's just kindof a weird ending.
It's like she then they show heron the couch and she's crying,
talking about the stress of the move of their finances, about

(01:08:45):
the general upheaval of their lives and whatever.
And even though the move was abrupt from what we know, and
like, settling has been something, I'm also kind of
scratching my head going like, is this really that unmanageable
for you as an individual? I mean, she has one child in her
home. I mean, I'm not saying that

(01:09:06):
there's no stresses. I just find it interesting that
her trainer is pointing out thatshe what does she do with her
stuff? She presents it, presents it.
So I'm just going. She must just be a.
Mess like she has to be a mess. I I.
Yeah, totally. But I wonder if part of This Is

(01:09:28):
Us not seeing the full picture, right, of what's happening
behind the scenes we're not seeing.
So they're still in the rentals,right?
We're not on the cul-de-sac yet?We're not.
We haven't moved past any of that.
She's the furthest away. There are finite resources.
I think maybe others in the family are pretending everything

(01:09:51):
is okay and like we've settled in and we've moved on and this
is all right and she's going notreally like anybody, anybody out
there seeing what I'm seeing andwho knows.
So I think there's a level of that to it where she, but also
what I thought was hysterical isthat she's having this full on
breakdown and tears and stress and she's so worried and she

(01:10:14):
just can't let things like this go.
Even if they're not within her control, she can't let it go.
She can't, and by the way, fullycomprehend that feeling, but
everybody else otherwise are just sitting there staring at
her and at least in this moment.We don't see.
Any one of their responses as towhether they understand,

(01:10:39):
acknowledge, see what she's saying, like we have no idea.
So she just looks like she's losing it at the end and then,
you know, cut to next week. Like it's weird.
It is weird how it ended out of nowhere like that.
It is weird. I do want to say that I caught.
A moment of Robyn looking concerned while Meri was
speaking. Like, you know.
Just at least hearing it. And being like, you know, the

(01:11:01):
eyebrows, the thing, I mean, I think she was hearing her.
But yeah, no responses elicited apparently.
And also going with what you're talking about of what we see, we
haven't gotten an update about Meri and Kody in a second and
I'm pretty sure. That's.
Probably not going well because when we do our we're doing the

(01:11:23):
Becoming Sister Wives book. And I really do think around
this time is when she's like ourmarriage is hit an all time low.
And then you know, of course she's like, but now it's great
to wrap up the book because that's how they have to wrap up
the book. But yeah, I think there's more
things than we're aware of whileshe's saying she's struggling.
With letting things. Go it's almost like that means
that she says she's doing that as a way to also not be mean or

(01:11:48):
mad or angry with others, like not to be frustrated with
others. She's just kind of internalizing
and which doesn't help. It doesn't help, but it's.
Also like. Yeah, like, you know, in life,
we keep things in, we let them out.
We do whatever. Like, we make choices.
Now for this very spooky episode, Who is your mustard

(01:12:13):
seed? Who is my mustard?
Seed. Oh, you know, I'm going to go
with Aspen. Oh, I was like.
If she takes Aspen, I'm. Going to go.
Oh Dang it, that's a funny. Well, because I don't know.
I don't really feel. Like it really goes to anybody.

(01:12:34):
Yeah, special, but. You know what, Aspen?
Yeah. I.
Mean good job putting your your siblings to bed and manning the
household and whatever. I mean, Logan should probably
get one too. I'm giving my mustard.
Seed to Janelle because I think of the wives with this exercise
journey, she has the most positive in an in a real way

(01:12:59):
meeting with seems in I don't know if it positive and
enthusiastic. I'm kind of using these blanket
words, but it seems like she actually is like in a way
changed by this like she's like I actually do want to do this
like she seems into it. I feel like the other wives I
kind of got a sense of like obligatory and like doesn't seem
like they have the right attitude for success with it, to

(01:13:19):
be honest. And she seems more organically
like, I'm going to do it, you know?
And maybe the one least. Likely to have had that outcome,
I would not be think well. You could deter her with a
parking spot, right? Like she needs quick access to
that gym. But while she's saying that, I
also think if she gets that quick access to the gym, she'll

(01:13:40):
go. So I think that's great.
Shit stain. Who are you going to give your
shit stain to, Christine? For.
Continuously assaulting. Bill Yeah, yeah.
You know, I just wonder how many.
More times this happens throughout.
The series like the the fucking years of the show.

(01:14:03):
It's like Christine, please keepyour hands to yourself.
I hope more I do because I enjoy.
I enjoy talking about that. You want to see her beat the
shit out of somebody? She didn't get close enough to
Matt. And she didn't meet Surfer Guy,
so we'll see what happens. But yeah, just just maybe
boundaries, Christine. Boundaries.

(01:14:24):
That's a good shit stain. I think my shit stain is going
to go to Kody Brown, which of course is not surprising.
But the whole like, I'm barely able to manage getting through
one evening with all of my children vibe is in one way
understandable and in another way, like, you're really doing
this. Like you're being filmed and

(01:14:45):
you're going to roll with this. You know, this is going to be
your MO. The footage is going to be of
you being like, I barely made it.
And it's like, you're just so gross.
Do you think every wife had to guarantee him?
Sex to get him to do this? Oh God, do you know what I mean?
Like, all right, I'll do that. But you better extra we know if
he thinks that monogamists aren't getting enough.
And polygamists are getting too much when it comes to sex, so

(01:15:07):
whatever. Gross.
Yeah, gross. Our Keep sweet moment this week
is a comment left on Cast Box, which is a place where you can
listen to podcasts. Cute, actually.
Yeah, so. Michelle Crider, left.
A comment saying you 2 are so funny.
Truly mustard seeds. Love the show.

(01:15:27):
And so that was great. Love seeing that compliment such
high praise. Yes.
We always love a truly. True compliment, yes, and we do
love our words of affirmation. Oh yes, I definitely need them.
I'm. Desperate for them the only way
I can. Survive is if you tell me how
great. I am not by your demonstration
of great I cannot do this. I cannot tear apart words of

(01:15:49):
affirmation. People.
You are people too. The jump scares around here
should be from Meri's hair and makeup, not from any ghosts and
ghouls. Goblins.
Other than. Robyn is also a goblin
trapezoid. Perfect Halloween costume,
Robbins square faced into. A trapezoid.

(01:16:10):
If anyone can do that for Halloween, you've only got a few
days. This is coming out a few days
for Halloween. Oh my gosh, that would take some
serious like. Science, you know, Yeah, that
would be a whole thing. That'd be a whole thing.
But God, if you can, we will. Give you all of the nothings
that we have. Or if you dress up as Kody
Robyn. Anybody for Halloween tag us in
your posts. I'm sure we'll see some stuff
that will be fun to see. That'll be fun to see.

(01:16:32):
I need to crimp my hair. Probably.
Well, we'd have to shave a bunchof your hair off.
To like, get it right, You know,I could be Janelle, you could be
Kody and I could be Janelle. Oh, my God, this is great.
Will you be? Janelle in her cowgirl face.
Well, yes, and I've got to have the purse on the.
Wrist, yes, first, first Janelle, yes.
OK, Well this is. Good, we'll get drunk and dress

(01:16:54):
up as sister wise. Oh God, it might be the lamest
thing. You'll ever see.
OK. All right.
Check your candy for razor blades.
