What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done.
Goodbye. 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 saw.
That day, just the knife in the kidneys over all these years and
the sacrifices that I made to love you.

(00:48):
Season 3 Episode 11 Kody climbs into the ring.
Another Kody in the title of theepisode.
So brace yourselves, Kody is in this episode.
This was Kody Heavy the last time they threw his name in the
title. We were shocked because it was
less Kody than anticipated, but this one was all Kody.

(01:13):
Yeah, it was a lot of Kody, which I was going to say was OK,
but we'll let you determine if if it's OK or not based on what
we this journey we're about to go through.
It's the journey, not the destination, honey.
That's right, we keep saying this.
The episode opens with Meri going to the gym.
She has a voice over letting us know that they're coming up on

(01:35):
their 60 days. So our last episode, it was the
30 day. Now we're 30 days past that.
She's working out with Bill, throwing balls back and forth,
slamming things around, not in the way Christine does, but in a
normal way, in a respectful way.And oh boy, do we get some

(01:56):
Nuggets on Christine and Bill's relationship in this episode.
Oh yes, we do. Oh yes.
While Meri's at the gym, though,Kody has a voice over moment
where he's talking about how Meri doesn't know how to express
her anger and so it leaks out ofher everywhere.
It just leaks. It's it's a sieve.
It's a what is neighbor Jeff Flake to call things or say?

(02:19):
Seeping. Seeping.
Her anger is seeping from everywhere.
Seepage. She has a lot of anger seepage.
Now how he actually started, that was that it wasn't he.
He kind of said Meri does probably have anger.

(02:45):
Yeah. So Meri does probably have anger
and she doesn't know how to express the anger.
But when he was saying it like that, that she probably does
have anger, he was not saying itin an accusatory way, like she
has anger that isn't warranted. I just thought it was

(03:08):
interesting how it was framed. In the sense that.
That I felt like he was saying that she has a reason to have
anger. Oh, right, like that.
It's not out of nowhere. And and that she doesn't know
how to deal with it, but she hasa reason and it makes sense that
she has it like that's I felt like he was acknowledging that

(03:28):
without saying it. And I could be completely off
base there, but it seemed like more was being said than what he
said. Sure OK yes but it is seeping
out of her on to others. Her seepage is affecting
everyone, her anger. So it's great that she's going
to the gym and working out her anger with Bill.
He is literally like put your anger into throwing this ball at

(03:50):
me. Like he's working through it
with. Her.
Yes, yes. After we get this intro at the
gym and Meri Meri talk, we cut to Christine's early in the
morning. Very early.
So we're back in the days of thesun's not quite up, but to be
fair, this one, they're not going to an appointment or
running out of the state to avoid persecution, prosecution,

(04:12):
whatever. They're just getting ready for
school. So, you know, she's asked
Mckelty, are you wearing that toschool?
And I, I don't think we got details on whether it was
appropriate or inappropriate. I think she was just like, it's
too early for this and whatever.I I don't know what the point
was. It didn't look inappropriate.
It was really we just were getting flashes.
So we had a little bit more detail with Meri.

(04:32):
Then we get like this flash of Christine's house at 6:30 in the
morning of kids getting ready and it already being irritating
and whatever, right. So that was just like a flash.
It's like early morning examplesof each house.
Yes. Yes.
And so then Janelle's example when they get there, she is
doing yoga now every morning andshe loves it.
And she is starting her day thatway.

(04:53):
She, you know, they talk about this weigh in that's coming up
and she says she feels more results than the scale will
show. So we went on a little bit of a
tangent about this on our previous recap because they were
all so disappointed in the number of pounds they had lost.
And that's exactly then what plays out in this episode.

(05:15):
So we should have just not worried about that talk in the
last one, you know well. We're just we're touched and
we're talented and we're gifted and we're smart.
We knew what was coming anyway. We knew the right way to house
smart, smart, smart. So Janelle is doing yoga and
yes, that is lovely. She's not looking forward to the

(05:36):
weigh in because she thinks the numbers are not going to show
how she feels. Right.
But she's OK with how she feels like it wasn't like I know I'm
going to be disappointed. It was, I know that I'm feeling
better results than what the numbers are going to show.
So like kind of like I'm OK withthat.
Because Robyn is pregnant, she doesn't need to do these weigh

(05:58):
in. She doesn't need to be drugged
through the same process as the other wives.
And so she's going to go shopping for nursery things
because baby Solomon is due in amonth.
So they're going to go buy some nursery things.
Make sense? They gather up the wives.
The sun is up at this point, so we're not going in the middle of

(06:19):
the night or at the ask crack ofdawn.
Wait though. Yeah, one thing.
OK, so they are talking about how they're going to go with
this furniture and this is all very exciting.
They're standing in the nursery empty at this point, like with
some extra tables and chairs andstuff.
And she goes, well, we actually do happen to have extra space in

(06:43):
this house. Like we happen to have this like
it wasn't like a part of the plan or intentional or
something. I just thought it was an
interesting way to clarify something that didn't need to be
clarified. This is the nursery, right?
That's literally all we have to say.
Yeah. And so there was a something
there that I was like, what are you?

(07:04):
Why are you even saying that? We just.
Happen to buy a house with this many bedrooms like rent a house
rent with. This many bedrooms but still
like OK. I just thought that was crazy.
I was like, shut up, Yeah. Wait, right Way to draw
attention to the fact that you probably got a house that you
knew would be big enough to havea child and no one was even

(07:24):
questioning that in this moment at all?
Like you're bringing it up and no one cares.
And do you think anybody thoughtyou weren't going to have
children? And as if it would be bad, this
is the whole thing. They just the whole pregnancy
bit the timeline. All of this is like why are you
skirting around obvious things? It's weird.
Yes. So after Robyn gives us this
tiny glimpse into her mind or whatever that was, they gather

(07:49):
up the wives in the morning. This must be the same morning
when they're talking in the nursery or something.
But they get together with everyone else, and then they go
to visit Theo Theo is making a return.
I forgot that we see Theo again.And of course, Theo, another
great man that Kody is immediately obsessed with.
Immediately. Immediately, and I believe you

(08:10):
said out loud. A funny quip make a quip.
Yes, you did. It was spot on.
I said I wonder if they are starting a furniture store next.
We haven't heard about that business plan yet, but it could
be in the works. Listen, Colleen's classic
consignment, Why aren't we goingto have Kody's classic

(08:33):
consignment? You know there's already
alignment here. Brown's Bed, Bath and Bidet, you
know where that comes from. Do you know where that comes
from? No.
Empire Records. Oh, do they say that?
The store Favorite movie of all time?
Listeners and the store. The record store used to be

(08:56):
Beck's Bath and Bidet, and his deadbeat father turned it into a
record store. That's right.
And if he was selling toilets today, he'd be a rich man.
He would be rich. So anyway, yeah.
So now he's going to succumb to the man.
Brown's Bed Bath and Bidet. Yeah, rolls right off the
tongue. It works, definitely works.
Yeah. Unfortunately, they haven't

(09:16):
shown us any footage of them starting that business.
So, Manny. Nor any business.
Right, No, we get lots of footage about this, but no
businesses we've. Talked about lots of them and we
know there are so many more to come now we do love the
entrepreneurial spirit right like.

(09:36):
Very. Encouraging dogging on.
That very encouraging of that. However, Browns Bath, Bed Bath
and the day is going to be just as successful as many of their
business ventures, so this is great.
The marketing potentials. And you write, it just really
does roll off the tongue. Now all we need is Christine's

(09:59):
marketing shops. Oh, God, it'll be a success.
Oh God. But while they're in Colleen's
classic consignment, Robyn and Theo compare baby bumps right
off the bat, which was funny. Got to give Theo his praise.
He's a good salesman. We love Theo.

(10:21):
He is a good sport certainly, and he goes, thank God you've
got me beat, you know, I mean. At least we didn't have
Christine jumping out and going.She swallowed a ball like my
God. Girl tackling Theo to the crack.
She's just so crazy. Theo gets the way unscathed from

(10:44):
Christine's assault and harassment.
This is going to be a whole new thing for the show.
Like anytime someone doesn't getbeat the shit out of by
Christine, we're going to be like, they got away with it.
They somehow skirted away. This is too much.
Wow. Thanks for the.
Thanks for the laughs, Christine.
It was. It was great.
Yes, Now Theo, of course they hehe immediately as a good

(11:11):
salesperson does he qualifies their needs.
Yes. What are we here for today?
And they tell him. And boy, immediately Theo knows
exactly what to show him. Recliner.
This is what came to my head. Shows them the recliner.
Sold. Sold.

(11:32):
They all test out the chair. It is perfect.
Yeah. While they're trying out the
chair, he asks if all the wives will help with baby things and
they all say yes. So he's also learning something
from the polygamist. And then as he is walking them
through that store, he goes, well, is it a boy or a girl?
And Robyn said it's a boy. And Theo said, oh good, I have

(11:56):
the perfect thing. And Chris, it was the perfect
thing. It certainly was.
Now, kind of, I guess so it was a dresser with baseball knobs.
Pretty cute. Pretty cute.
Now, I in in this part of it, I was like, that's adorable.
Sure. OK.

(12:18):
Did you? I was struggling OK with the
furniture part. OK.
Did you register that? They were saying things matched
that didn't match. Well, OK, you're right.
OK, so the first thing we see isthis rocker recliner which is
grey and fabric. And so it's like that's non,
that's not giving us. A.

(12:39):
Yeah, like greyish, whatever. It is what it is.
It's just a recliner, rocker recliner.
Then the second piece of furniture that we are shown is
like an espresso wood dresser. Espresso wood.
Thank you. Correct way to describe it.
With the baseball knobs. Cute.
I do like. Baseball, it's cute.
It's cute. It was totally fine, especially
for the day, The time great. Totally.

(13:00):
But then Robyn does make a comment, I think, about it being
the right color. And as a viewer, it's just odd
because it's like, this is the first piece of furniture that
we're being exposed to. So it is.
It was an odd detail to give that they worked because I don't
know what we were matching it upto.
So they showed a changing table next.
Which was also espresso. It was black.

(13:21):
Oh, was it black? Black it.
Was black black. Oh, I thought it was espresso.
It was black, black. And I looked at it and they said
it matched. And I was like, that doesn't
match. Does that match?
OK. And then Robyn questioned it at
some point. And, you know, I don't like to
give her props, but even when they had everything in the room,
she was looking at them and she was like, does it match, though?

(13:42):
And they're like, yeah, it, it, it looked.
Fine. But it didn't match.
Like it didn't match. Also, we'll get to the actual
theme of the bedroom later, but it is not baseball.
Right. Yeah, There's no sports theme.
No. So.

(14:02):
And it's funny that the only part of the piece that is sports
is the knobs. So you could just replace them.
Like if you like the dresser, you could replace them with
something that's on theme. But it is weird.
I just there were just some funnies that I was like, I don't
OK, it was cute when I was dead.I'm not going to.
I'm not dogging on the room as awhole.
It just was. Yes, the things they were

(14:24):
saying, the math was not mapping.
Even without thinking about the specific tone of the changing
table that she brought up the colors right away and it was
like, we don't know about the colors.
Like, why are you saying this? But that's also whatever.
If they hadn't talked about it before, then you know, yes.
Crazy tone. So then Robyn makes some sort of
comment about like, oh look at that, we got everything so

(14:44):
quickly, blah, blah, blah, blah because Theo is good at his job.
We know Theo is a showman and hedid he put on a good show for
them. Then we cut to Meri, Janelle and
Christine going to their sixty day weigh in at the gym with
Bill. I was nervous for them.

(15:04):
So they're all lined up in frontof the scale and they determined
that Janelle should go 1st through some polishing just like
you're going first. They thought she was going to
have lost the most weight, so that makes sense.
Janelle goes up and she said forher sixty day her initial goal
would have been 40 lbs down. I mean 40 is a stretch in 60.

(15:26):
Days that was an. Unrealistic goal to begin with.
Let's just be. Honest SO.
That was unrealistic, I think for anyone.
If someone lost 40 lbs in two months, I would be concerned
that they had some issues or something.
So like, that's a lot. A bit drastic for your body,
right? Right.
Yeah. So she was down 10 lbs with her

(15:47):
weigh in, which is great in the sense that she lost 10 lbs in
two months. And with the ongoing thing that
we've talked about with muscle gaining, all the things that go
with it, she seemed OK with that.
I think she kind of gave us somerationale, some of her thoughts,
but nothing really stood out to me.
Seemed OK. Christine gets weighed and she

(16:08):
has lost £4 / 2 months, so that's half a pound a week.
Now, when Christine is about to get on the scale, Bill is trying
to give her some minor encouragement or like, don't let
the numbers get you. And she gets on the scale and

(16:30):
she's like, just do the weighing.
Like just do it. Like just ma.
She was just like, whatever. So that was fun, Christine, I
mean. She's already over it and you
can see it. So that 4 lbs, yes, I mean,
fine, but well, we'll get there anyway.
Continue. Meri weighs the same as last

(16:52):
month. So she has not lost additional
pounds. No.
So of course, from my perspective, we have no idea how
much she weighs. There's no way to know because.
Of fault we could do. The House of Cards is built on
lies. Well, so she hasn't lost any

(17:13):
weight. Let's just go with that.
And she's so discouraged that she hasn't lost any weight.
She is bummed. Yeah, she is bummed.
Cue the dramatic music. She's telling her sob story and
you would swear it was like literally a felony had happened
or someone had died. It was just like this dramatic

(17:33):
music. It's like, OK, so she's stressed
or upset or something. And is this the time?
Where does she say? Was it the last episode where
she was telling us she must meetwith Bill four to five times?
Yeah, last. Episode a week to, you know,
keep on her journey and then is it this sob story where she says

(17:54):
I just can't find the time or don't have the energy and can't
go enough or something? Yeah, she says, it's hard to get
into the gym. Yes, so.
Which is true. I mean, I think that's everyone.
Well, 9 out of 10, 99 out of 100people's story.
It sucks to go to the gym. It does suck to go to the gym.
This is completely relatable to every human being on the planet.

(18:15):
Countered the last episode whereshe's like, I'm going to go four
to five times a week and we're like, wow, good for her luxury
lifestyle. And now she's like, I don't go.
It's. Like, OK, girl.
Like it's not exactly the longest time to have also given
up on this thing where you're running it as a storyline for
the show. That's also another little bit
where, well, for the business ideas, well, like Coral, you

(18:41):
have to probably dedicate 20 hours plus a week to something
like this in general, even if it's not for your own health and
betterment, like because of whatyou're doing, you know, crazy.
So rightfully Bill starts askingabout their commitments because
it's like, well, like we don't want to put everything on the
scale, the the numbers, but we make commitments.

(19:04):
Are you keeping them? He asked.
Janelle. What are you doing outside of
being at the gym? And she says she's active for an
hour every day outside of the gym.
And this is a drastic increase in activity for Janelle.
Let's be clear, right? I mean.
Starting at nothing, probably. Correct.
So like, you don't have to startat 0 and go to 4 hours a day,

(19:28):
but gosh, going to two makes a big difference, you know what I
mean? Or at least an hour a day and
then however many gym times a week.
Like whatever she's drastic change for her would be drastic
changes for us. Yeah, for me it would be.
Like if I did anything like that, Oh my God.
Yeah, I would be dropping some pounds for sure.
And even at the beginning of theepisode when they show her doing

(19:49):
yoga, I don't know a lot about yoga, but one of the poses she
was doing, I don't know if it's it's not downward dog, but
saluting the sun or something. The one where you're laying,
you're you. Know which one you're talking.
Yeah, it's like you're like belly down on the ground and you
put your arms up and arch your back.
So that is also commonly used inphysical therapy for back
issues, which I've had to do. And the way that she was doing

(20:10):
it, that's not what you do on the first time.
Like she's been doing it. She's working her way up.
She was able. Agreed.
She looked limber. Elbows were excuse me?
Her shoulders were up to the to the ceiling, like she was arched
in her back so it didn't look like she just did it for the
first time for filming. So she's taking it seriously.
A. 100 percent, 100% as they're talking about this and, you

(20:34):
know, saying that clearly some have not been committing, right,
Right. So I think Christine even says,
yeah, like, Janelle's already been up and gone for a walk or
to the gym or, you know, done yoga before I'm even out of bed.
Yeah. At 7:00 AM, like, OK, so an

(20:57):
interesting thing about what's happening with the show right
now is we don't really see like daily life.
You know, it's like they're giving us these episodes where
they're going camping, they're going to the gym, they're doing
these things because it's it's for a show.
I mean, Amen. The producers want to have a
storyline or things to do, but in their daily life.
Like even with Meri talking about the stress bit, I'm kind

(21:19):
of like, but what is it that youhave?
Though? I'm not trying to imply they
have nothing, but if it's like you film, sometimes you do
interviews about your filming and you're raising kids, but you
don't have the actual stressors of like a nine to five or I
don't know. I think the stressors are they
don't know how they're going to pay their bills.

(21:40):
They don't like their current living situation.
They don't think things are balanced.
Another baby is about to come into the family after another
wife just came into the family, and we haven't really gotten
anything back together yet. And now all all of this is going
to continue to change and we're not even in our permanent
places, but we have no resourcesto get to where we want to get

(22:02):
to. And I can't do what I want to do
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like, I think it's all those things.
Yeah, OK. And I think that they've stopped
talking about some of that a little bit.
Maybe at least we're not hearingabout it as much on the show,
but it doesn't mean it's not still there.
I think some people are trying to put on the happy face and

(22:24):
move forward, like we're moving on in this next phase in our
life and this is what we're doing.
And she's maybe still stuck a bit back there, like hasn't
quite moved to that next step yet.
And there's something about the,we're now 2 episodes from where
they were 60 days ago from our storytelling in the sense, you

(22:44):
know, like they started the gym bit all of a sudden they were at
30 days. Now they're at 60 days.
And so in my mind, I'm I'm just kind of doing that like all of
those things make sense, but also like in 60 days, like you.
I think we're just getting very surface level event focused
things that we see and you just like you just said, not much of

(23:06):
the day-to-day. I don't think we're seeing the
day-to-day. I don't think we're seeing the
conversations in the kitchen when people are stressed and
frustrated, like we're not seeing those things right now,
so. Bill asked them what it will
take to get to their goals. You know, what will you do to
get to your goals? When he's asking Christine, she

(23:29):
kind of just goes with it, like,oh, you know, I'll, I'll do it.
Because when I'm here, you know,you really encourage me.
Are you really Whatever. I don't even remember what she
said. It sounded like bullshit.
She's obviously not into it. From my perspective, she's she's
given up already. And she almost, she said she
did, said she did. She said I gave up.
Yeah, I gave up. So she's bullshitting him being

(23:51):
like, oh, when I'm here, which that might actually be true,
like when I'm here I feel motivated.
But outside of that, whatever. And he knew it.
It was so weird to watch it because it's like he knows and
she knows and that's that. It is what it is.
Well, sure, if we could all havesomeone standing next to us all
day 24/7 trying to get us to make the right choices.

(24:11):
First of all, in my house that person wouldn't survive 24
hours. But second of all, like you
can't just have a cheerleader all day.
Like, yeah, come on, you can do it.
You know, like you have to have your own self-control and your
own self motivation and your ownthis.
And this is not her jam. This is not what's going to

(24:32):
motivate her. Like this is not.
Working Janelle talks about wanting a quality of life from
her efforts. I thought it was interesting
because she references how it's like she doesn't look in mirrors
and she doesn't look in reflections and things.

(24:53):
She kind of avoids what she looks like when she sees photos
of herself. She just kind of in and out of
her head. She's like, whatever, I that's
what I look like, I'm not going to think about it.
Identify with that. Oh, I think we all.
Do like, Oh my God, when you're walking and then you turn a
corner and all of a sudden your side view is in a window and
you're like. The worst like.

(25:17):
It's almost like Christine was that window, like I was
assaulted by it. Like, Oh my God, it's it's
rough. And those moments creep up on
you too, like because there's the ones you can avoid and then
there's the ones where you can'tavoid it.
And you're like, like I rememberleaving something as simple as
like an elevator where you're just like, it's too reflective
and it's like, this is my body mass.
Like holy fuck. So you.

(25:39):
Know what? Every single person gets it or
gets there in the same way as Janelle did, right?
Like every single person, it just gradually changes and
changes and changes, and you still have this vision of
yourself in your own mind that you're in denial about.
I have been for a decade plus. I look great.
Yeah. Until I see myself and then I'm

(26:04):
like, oh. My God, certainly that is not
me. And we move on so.
Yep. The denial, the rejection.
I feel it. I live it.
Yeah, Yeah. We are.
Absolutely. But I do find it nice to be
seeing Janelle in this moment. Like I'm glad it's being
captured and in the sense, well,because having watched the show

(26:28):
before, she doesn't, she's not going to pull a Christine right
now. She doesn't just give up on her
thing. She actually continues rocking
it, which is so great. And now it's Kody's turn to have
a night out on the town. Oh yeah.
Oh, Kody. Well, I'm glad we focused so
much on what the women had goingon here at the beginning.

(26:50):
And I feel like we can just brush through the rest of this
like, just let's not, you know? OK, well, let's check with the
bullet points that we do need tocover to be.
Yeah, I was going to say to be following the law or something.
That's ridiculous. I thought you were going to say

(27:11):
fair. Fair.
Who the fuck cares about fair? No one cares about that.
OK, I will power through but I am just.
Saying yeah, we are deaf, no, wedo not need.
Gus. Yeah, we don't need to get into
the nooks and crannies of Kody's.
Life because I'm going to have to hold him accountable somehow.
Somehow, somehow, he is going out on the town with his boys.

(27:33):
He's got Jeff, who is from Kody's faith.
I feel like that means Jeff has travelled from afar for this
boys night out because there's no AUB members in Vegas.
Right, he must have. And I feel like, yes, he's been
around for a hot minute. Jeff, maybe?
Seems like a long time friend from back in Utah or Wyoming
somewhere. The only person I know of

(27:54):
outside of Utah, Wyoming, Montana, like the cult belt or
whatever you'd call that is you,you know here in the here in the
Midwest, our local AUB member ally, she has officially joined
the cult everyone I. Almost spit out my beer well.

(28:15):
It's gotten a little close to home and.
And when you feel the time is right, you will hold your
intervention. So I.
Thought you were going to say I would join with you.
Oh no. I hope no that.
'D be great. We both become converts to the
AUV through this process. We certainly can't involve.
This show becomes like a study and how people became cult

(28:37):
members out of nowhere. Turns out, if you just talk
about it enough, you start to envy and become obsessed with
the really. Resolution.
You've trash talked and oh God let's not.
Maybe that burning on my crotch was actually a testimony you.
Know, I think maybe you still need to go to the doctor, but
other than that. Well, I haven't even talked

(28:59):
about my burning bosom. Yeah, my burning bosom.
Yeah. Yeah.
We've got Bill the trainer joining us because of course,
Bill. Bill.
Is. There, when you can't have a
surfer, you get a personal trainer.
I was going to say bodybuilder, but you know, you get Bill, you
get Bill. Bill has arrived.
Bill has arrived and also Sean, who is Kody's new friend in

(29:20):
Vegas. No idea how we met.
Sean don't care. Sean, God bless you, don't care.
His brother, though, is an MMA coach.
So this is great because they'rejust going to use Sean for his
relationship with the MMA coach to get in and do some time at
this mixed martial Arts Center. So MMA is mixed martial arts.

(29:41):
For those of us who were familiar with the acronym but
didn't really know what it was, it's mixed martial arts, boxing,
wrestling, physical action, whatever.
As Kody would say, he would be looking forward to the
testosterone and the man sense. And when I say that, I mean man
sense like the smells and the odors of the testosterone filled

(30:04):
men. He.
Was looking forward to smelling testosterone, sweat and combat.
Combat. OH.
OK. What a prelude to Special
Forces. When he said this, boy, you
could tell that he meant it, yeah.
Right. Oh yeah, he was like he had a

(30:28):
hard on. Oh yeah, about going to this
gym. He loves wrestling men more than
he loves any of his wives. It was intense.
Yeah, that. Smell that sweet?
Smell disturbing. It was.
It was gross. He just loves those man smells.

(30:49):
So the boys are going to go out on the town.
They come back to the wives all getting together at Robyn's to
assemble the nursery furniture. Now this seems all sweet and
nice and dandy. They're pulling boxes apart.
They're doing the whatnot, but they didn't finish putting the
room together. I'm not sure if they finished
assembling the furniture. Well I thought it was hysterical

(31:10):
to have this many people attempting to assemble a crib
together in the first fucking place.
They are sitting there. There is like 7 people in this
tiny fucking room. Yeah, Robyn is reading the
directions and other people are just doing things.
Yeah, maybe like Christine and Meri or something.

(31:32):
Meri's driving the shed. Yeah, and, and Robyn's like, Are
you sure that goes there? No, I'm not saying Robyn is
right. First of all, no.
But I am thinking it is insane that this because I would
struggle to complete that project with one additional
person even though really you need two people.
Likely they had a shit show circus in this room.

(31:55):
Yeah, I'm sure Janelle was sitting in the corner just
watching. Interesting that you mentioned
she wasn't there. I hadn't even thought about
that. No, she was there.
She showed up with the wives to begin and then we never see her
again. So she's probably just in a
corner watching. And judging.

(32:17):
And bless her heart. Yeah, I love it.
Because they're also, yeah. Then they show Meri and
Christine, like, shimmying the bookshelf or the dresser or
whatever. And it was just like, dear God,
I don't know. These are the kind of moments
where I where, I hate to say it,but I would be like, listen to
Meri. Everyone shut the fuck up and
listen to Meri like this. You want a room assembled?
Meri's who you listen to. Don't listen to Robyn.

(32:40):
Christine, shut your hussy mouthwith your assaults and your
harassments and Janelle, stay inthe corner and we'll be fine.
Let Meri do it all. Yeah.
I think that is the right balance of how it should go,
yeah. But they do assemble some things
and there are some things places, but it's like they show
a shot of the room and nothing'sreally it just looks like
there's a couple of. Tosses the mattress into the

(33:02):
crib and like they run out of the.
Room like the mattress is like up.
Against the wall or yes. And then there's a reveal.
Who knows when the reveal took place in conjunction with the
day that that happened. But yeah, it was hysterical.
She was just like, we're done, we're done.
Because when the scene started, I'm like, they're going to
decorate and they're going to doall this stuff.
No, we. Assembled some furniture.

(33:22):
And I think they didn't show us the most stressful moments of it
because certainly there were some.
It was short lived. I can.
Too short lived. Yeah, yeah.
We didn't get to see any of the glances that I'm sure happened
in that room. Back to the boys night.
Oh joy. The men arrive at the MMA

(33:44):
center. When they go into the building,
there's like a wrestling, boxingring.
You know, you've got the ropes around it.
It's like a elevated mat type thing.
I don't know. They refer to it as a cage later
on. Cage MMA Cage Kody was a two
time state champion in wrestling, which none of us can
forget. He will not allow us to forget

(34:06):
even if this is the first time we've heard it.
Now we will never forget two time state champion in
wrestling. Yep.
Sean's brother Kevin is the trainer at the MMA center in the
cage. He's rolling around, beating
people up, pretending to be people up.
Who knows whatever that is. Then it's like, Kody, come on
into the ring. Let's do it.
Let's get you in here. Ha, ha.

(34:27):
Kody's like, could I take my shoes off?
It's like, yeah. And he's in his jeans and his
button up in the ring in the cage with Kevin.
Interesting that he would go to an MMA thing and not bring like
a change of clothes. I don't know if that's crazy,
but I feel like if I was going to do an activity, I'd probably
bring even like a little plasticbag with like sweatpants and a

(34:49):
shirt. But I don't know.
I'm no Kody Brown while Kody andKevin are in the cage.
This was probably barely even cleared for production.
This was probably, don't you know what I mean?
Like if they really had planned it, they probably would have
insisted that he would be in some type of gear or something.

(35:11):
I think it really probably was off the cuff.
And like the fighter had to say I will not hit.
Cuz Kody even said he was holding his hits back, right?
Like he wasn't following through.
Like he was stopping himself. Yeah, this was probably like
barely squeaked through. That makes sense.
It could even be last minute type thing where the prep wasn't

(35:33):
there. There was something off about it
and I didn't actually notice it until towards the end of this
little cage scene when I'm like,why is he in his jeans and
things? And then I'm like, and now
they're gonna go out and he hasn't changed clothes.
Like, oh, like that'd be gross, but whatever.
They have a couple playful back and forth.
So 1-2 Kody, 1-2. Some punches, some takedowns.

(35:55):
Like you said, they tap. Around, they tap.
Around, they tap around. Yeah, I really picked up on the
lingo. Yes, you did.
For some reason I was thinking it was like the life of a
showgirl with your little thing right there.
You're tapping around, doing some dance moves, doing some
dance moves over there. Happy about that too.
So we've got the punches, the takedowns, the tap arounds,

(36:15):
we've got all these things. Kody tells us that he had the
takedown record in his high school and I was wondering will
he be able to take down Kevin? And Kody said I wonder if I'll
be able to take down Kevin. Probably not.
Kody did take him down because Kevin let him.
Kody says that in real life he would not be able to take down

(36:35):
Kevin unless he let him, which would be fair enough.
Because why? Because Kevins like an MMA
fighter and a coach. Because Kevin is solid as a
rock. Oh yes, he was solid as a rock,
yes. Heaven is solid as a rock.
He absolutely is. And Kody was sure to tell us
that. What cars were what was solid as

(36:57):
a rock like? What was the branding for that?
Is it Chevy because it was used in some advertising right?
I think you're right. I'm going to say it was like
Dodge Ram. Chevy trucks.
God damn it. Yeah, the phrase solid as a rock
refers to the iconic like a Rockadvertising campaign.

(37:19):
So it was like a rock for Chevy.They didn't.
Do solid as a rock. Oh, it's like a.
Rock. Yep, there you go.
Like a rock, but there is a song.
But there is a song. That's all it is around.
Yes, yes, look at us solving allthe world's problems.
It's because you did that littletap around earlier, so you got.
Those I just opened. Up and that cult membership,

(37:42):
Carl, it's paying off in dividends.
Who knew? Who knew in a matter of two
rewatches I would be into the cult and you would be far right
Mega yes I didn't know. Wow, so many things have
happened, so many blessings. It's.
So many testimonies. So they wrestle around, blah

(38:05):
blah blah. Kody didn't bring a change in
clothes, which was disturbing tome.
So he's wearing his jeans and his button up as they're driving
down the street to go to the strip.
They're in a Mustang, which was actually kind of a cool car,
like if you're not in snow. Yes, highly do not recommend
them. Yeah, rear wheel drive in

(38:25):
Minnesota snow, right? Just highly do not.
Yes, Allie had a Mustang and it was fun when it was fun and it
was not fun when it was not fun.Oh, I thought it was so cool.
Yeah, yeah. Well, even their car, like I'm
like, I'd like that car. Yeah.
So they're driving down the strip in their Mustang, Kody's
talking about the scantily dressed women and.

(38:46):
Again, TLC OK Hamra Hamra camerahangs around for a hot second on
yeah, some scantily clad neon signs of women yes, you know,
like. Very Vegas.
Very Vegas. Yeah.

(39:06):
You're walking down the Strip and it's like, Yep, there are
but like words over the nipples and words over the vagina and
that's it. Everything else is there.
So it's it's a family place. It's where you go with your
family. Well, and they certainly were on
like the main strip, not the oldFremont Street like the ladies

(39:28):
were last episode. They're on the main drag, they
are going to go to dinner. And while they're at dinner,
questions come up. Now, Kody is happy to take
questions about him, his life, his lifestyle, and his wives.
But please don't talk about sex,he lets us know.
Do not talk about sex. Now before we are at dinner and

(39:50):
asking questions though, there there there is a moment when
Kody is talking about the scandalous women on the strip.
I. Think is worthy of mentioned,
worthy of note. Well, especially given that
Christine was the most scandalous woman on the strip
just a just a few weeks before that.
So what Kody tells us is that obviously, yes, these things are

(40:13):
not OK and their religion and what not and what a gentleman
would do. Oh yeah, what a gentleman would
do. And then Kody gestures to cover
his eyes because he would not, he would not even consider Chris
allowing himself to see these scantily clad women.

(40:34):
Except what a gentleman would dowas put his hand over his eyes
and then just widen his fingers between his index finger and
hit. Not index ring finger and middle
finger. He widens it so he can still
peek out at the scantily clad woman.
Because that's what a gentleman would do.

(40:56):
That is what a gentleman would do.
That's what a gentleman would do.
Because God forbid, you could never ever expect a man is.
Even if even if this man knows that these things are wrong in
his religion, we could never expect a man to look away from

(41:17):
the scantily clad woman because even a gentleman is going to
hold his peeper open this just little peeper.
Like his finger peeper. What the fuck is that?
It's so terrible because it's like, what?
The men can't be held accountable for anything?
Literally. Yeah, I know I'm not supposed

(41:41):
to, but I'm going to. But don't say I'm a gentleman,
and even gentleman, just stop lying it.
Was a bit playful. And the reason I'm saying it's
horrible is because I'm going like I know, like I know, like
if it's there and you're going to look at it, you're going to
look at it like I don't know. I don't, I don't know.

(42:03):
I would I look. Just think I of course I don't
care if you look. Don't.
I don't care. Look, look.
Yeah. I love naked women.
They're beautiful. That's great.
Yeah. Why are we pretending that we're
still a gentleman if we there's this excuse, there's this thing
like, you can be the greatest, most perfect, wonderful man ever

(42:24):
and say I would never look at another woman, but you're still
going to do this. Not every man is going to do
that. There are people that are
actually gentlemen and are like,you know what?
No, I actually know that I shouldn't look at that.
And so I'm going to choose to not actually do it.
And that's OK. Don't pretend to be one of those
people. I wonder who those men are.

(42:45):
Come on. No, I'm just honestly saying I
don't know any man. I I don't.
He is. Trying to paint himself as if he
is still a gentleman and going like this.
And I don't think he's a gentleman.
I think he is just as disgustingof a man as the rest of them
are. And.
That is true. That's what I'm saying is.
Not double bad. Well, right.
But like, stop trying to pretendthat, yeah, there are some

(43:08):
gentlemen in the world. I think maybe somewhere, I guess
are statistics on my side. No, I I guess, right.
I mean. It's like.
Maybe that's why I'm so mad about it.
Like don't. You're nothing.
It's really more about the fact that men literally cannot
control themselves and it's but I'm.
But we can just say that out loud and it's OK I guess, right?

(43:30):
Like 1. Of those men.
So I yeah, oh God, it's just, it's just extra gross coming
from Kody. Like let's be real, he has that
celestial Kingdom and he's gambling it all to get a little
sneak peek through his fingers. What an unholy man.
I just don't think that you can say this is so wrong in my

(43:51):
religion and this is so terribleand this is so this and then be
like but. Yeah.
I'm still a gentleman because we're all gentlemen.
We just are terrible people too.Like what?
Just say you like naked women and it's fine.
I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed like this one got in
your craw for some. Reason I did?

(44:12):
I don't know. No, I just, there's this, print
this, there's just a gross entitlement of it in some
fashion that makes me feel gross.
I don't like it. I do think it's gross because it
is all men and I'm here to say it, it's 100% of men are that
and myself included. So it's gross.

(44:33):
But we do get to dinner after Kody hurt you.
Show me on the stall where Kody hurt you with his beeping
fingers. Here, Chris, in my brain, it's
right here. And my heart, It's not my heart.
He hurt your heart, Brain. Oh, Kody, hurt your heart,
honey. Truly the brain.

(44:54):
Now they're at this dinner and there is a moment where Bill has
a side profile. Did you catch this?
No, I don't think so. Bill and a side profile.
Not attractive, not attractive. I was like, Bill's not
attractive anymore. We just keep tearing Bill down
on this. Bill's not attractive anymore,
Bill. Now front I.

(45:15):
Don't think you're attractive? Front fine, Side not attractive.
I'm going to have to believe youon that and I'm, I apologize,
Bill, if you're listening. Don't apologize to Bill.
I still. Feel bad for Bill.
Bill's A, you could tell he's a nice guy at heart.
I don't know. He's still peeping through his
fingers, but so am I. Listen, so is Kody.

(45:36):
Be honest about peeping through your fucking fingers, that's
all. So we're at the dinner table at
the restaurant, and the first question that gets posed to Kody
is about a divorce rate. Is there a divorce rate?

(45:58):
Which I was like, wow, what an interesting way to phrase that.
And he says, yes, well, of course there's divorces.
Robyn was divorced. He doesn't bring up Janelle
being divorced. Interesting.
Just like he doesn't care about her purity, doesn't care about
her divorce. Maybe that's because she was
married to Meri's brother, but whatever.
That's a little too close for comfort.

(46:19):
Robyn was married to like a further distant relative.
It was OK, straight up, Straightup.
I don't know whose cousin. It's like Christine's cousin or
something. She was married to someone's
cousin, so that's fun. So they talk about Robyn having
been divorced and then Kody saysthat she was married to a man.

(46:44):
Did you catch how he phrased? This yes to a man who wasn't
ready to live polygamy. I don't know that it was ready
to live polygamy. I I, I don't was it like didn't
deserve to live this lifestyle lifestyle.
Wasn't. Prepared.

(47:06):
It was some noise. It was bullshit.
There was a framing of it that wasn't just like he never chose
to take another wife, it was a reason in which he was
undeserving of of a second wife I think.
Right. Which also paints the brush
strokes that parallel with Robyn's story of him being
undeserving of her. He was a terrible man.

(47:27):
All these horrible things. We don't know any details.
We don't know anything still. But he was a horrible husband
and he didn't deserve other wives because he was terrible.
Right. Another question posed is about
support systems between the wives, which was odd because the
examples it's just weird watching footage of them.
They're not, no. Yeah, sorry.

(47:48):
They're not support systems for each other in many ways, and
Kody's example is lame as fuck. And because they're men, they
kind of don't get it in general,right?
This is exactly what I was goingto say and I apologize for
interjecting. It just is like this was it.
It's four men trying to pose these like questions that are

(48:09):
not like maybe typical bro questions or something, right?
Like maybe trying to ask smarterquestions to being filmed and
trying to sound smarter and likeknow a little bit more about the
nest, but not just the salaciousness.
However, it just came across as weird.
Like the whole way, yes, Kody's response is weird, but then the

(48:34):
questions weird. Like what?
What were we doing here? It it did not come across great
at all, no. At all Agreed.
Very strange because when they're talking specifically
about the support system bed, it's almost like they from what
I what I was feeling was that they were jumping to a
conclusion that they almost justbe there for each other.

(48:56):
They're almost support each other must be so great.
They have a camaraderie based around Kody and Kody's.
Like yes, sometimes one of my wives will counsel another wife
on the relationship with me and I'm like.
Let's not do that. Let's have any one of the wives
other than Robyn here to talk about that.
Literally it just it was like wrong question asked, wrong

(49:24):
answer given to wrong question asked.
Very unnatural for sure. It did not go great, except
Bill. Now, Bill actually spent time
with the women, too. So maybe this is if we're
starting with Sean, where it's like, who the fuck is Sean?
Why is he even here? We don't even know him.
And then he's asking these questions and it's like, what
the fuck? When we get to Bill, he
obviously actually spends time with them and knows them.

(49:46):
So he poses A relevant question.I would say yeah, or maybe it's
not even a question. He he like brings up a topic
that is a relevant topic, you know?
Yeah, no, he he did both kind ofso he said.
You know, it's funny. I do.
I spend time with Meri, Christine and Janelle and all of
their personalities are so different.

(50:06):
So different. Every single one of them is so
different. So how do you adjust your
individual relationships becauseyou have 4 different wives that
are so different? Yeah.
Like how do you adapt going? Right.
And like, that's a valid question, right?

(50:26):
It's the most logical one we've heard thus far it.
Was it was? Did Kody have an answer for it
though? I don't think so.
I don't know if they even had him talking because we get a gem
from Bill, right? Immediately.
Actually true. Maybe Bill didn't allow Kody to
answer my. Question.
What was the question? Jumped into his second question.

(50:46):
Chris, what was the second question?
Because I think this LED us intosome thoughts, feelings and
opinions from Bill that I was not expecting and I'm happy we
got. So it does seem like Bill's
journey is going to be reasonable when he says this
about adapting to the different wives.
But I do think he immediately goes, does Christine razz you as

(51:06):
much as she razzes me, Kody? Which is so great because then
they jump. The producers did give us some
gold here into immediate footageof Christine assaulting,
assaulting and harassing Bill. How many times have there been?
There's at least three and I maybe 4 I think.

(51:28):
We've at least hit 4 by the end of the episode.
Yeah, examples of the shoving, the pushing, the teasing, the
tickling, the laughing, the blahblah blah.
I would like to refer to this moment as Bill's cry for help.
Bill's cry. I am so trying to keep it

(51:48):
straight. Bill needs a crisis hotline
right now. He needs help.
I think he's asking for help. He's like, literally, does
Christine Razz use much? Because I need help.
I need to know what to do. I needed to stop.
Blink 17 times if you need help.Bill and Kody's like, man, Bill

(52:10):
blinks a lot. He just keeps blinking at me.
He like writes SOS in the sand, like in a movie, like helps and
help. And Kody, I don't know, he just
keeps making these weird faces and strange body movements.
You know, and he wrote SOS and Ithought that that meant shout on
sister. She's unbelievable.

(52:34):
Oh, Bill's cry for help is cry for help.
It is really quite a gem that hebrings this up.
And then there's this montage ofChristine being inappropriate
and Kody's like, oh, you know, Iexpect her to be like that,
'cause that's who she is. Such a.
Terrible flirt. Like he literally doesn't care.
He doesn't care that she's a flirt.
Yeah, if Robyn was doing it, that would be a real problem.

(52:56):
That'd be a real problem. But it's just Christine, that
chubby girl that he thought was cute, so there's that.
I mean that's his opinion of her, not?
Mine. I know.
That's his opinion. I know.
So like if he really cared, he would care a little bit.
But also, you know, it is interesting because like, I
don't know, I get it from my mom.
I'm a little flirty with people and I don't necessarily mean it

(53:18):
when I'm flirting with someone. It doesn't mean that I'm like
being suggests sexually suggestive.
Like I wouldn't actually do anything about it.
And I know I get it from my mom because I remember when I was a
kid, my dad would be like, couldyou just stop fucking flirting
with everybody? So it's like a weird thing.
Like it does happen. I just don't have a camera coup
following me around. People are going.
As we wish we did, though, keep.Chris, away from me, someone is

(53:41):
crying for help about me right now, in this very moment.
Well. I don't think so, but.
But I also don't have a spouse to have a story about it.
Well. Right.
And I do think it's innocent on Christine's part.
I am not saying by any stretch Christine is interested in these
people in that sort of way or whatever, but I do think that
she is flirtatious. I do think she gets

(54:04):
reciprocation at times. And so it doesn't make her feel
like boundary stuff. Like what?
I get it. I get how it can happen.
I'm not totally. Yeah, I am still totally saying
that it she takes it too far every single time, but I do
think it's hysterical that Kody doesn't give a fuck.
Yeah, like literally does not care.

(54:27):
It's just like, whatever. I even think that if it was
Janelle, he would care differently.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
In the care order, it's Robyn, Janelle, Meri Christine.
And I think there were times that Meri and Janelle
flip-flopped. Yes, definitely, because in the
early days it was definitely Meri, but now it's Janelle.
Yeah, Sean asks about enjoying one wife or home more than the

(54:49):
others, which is, you know, OK. I got to give Sean a kudos here
because that is actually a good question.
Now, does Kody answer that honestly?
Of course not. No, he loves all the wives
equally. He loves all the things, blah,
blah, blah. He brings up an example about
doubling up nights where the rotation switches, which I
immediately got as two nights, two nights, two nights, two

(55:11):
nights. But of course the the language
is using of doubling up making. Around a table with three other
men. The boys night out in Vegas.
He's doubling up on those nights.
Oh no, no doubling up on the rotation.
We don't go weird. We don't go weird, he literally
said again, hysterical. It took me a second to put

(55:31):
together why they were having these talks about the We don't
go weird because I didn't for a second consider the doubling up
in one night right now, mostly because I don't think Kody Brown
has the stamina to double up in one night, right?
Just to be certainly clear, no like I.
Don't think 15 years he hasn't been able to do that.

(55:52):
I don't think ever he's been able to do that well.
I mean, it's kind of handmaid's TLE though, so maybe.
You know it's. Not really about anybody else's
pleasure, but on top of that, itwas just, yeah, a little awkward
most certainly, but they brushedthrough it quite quickly and
thankfully. Then we were done.
Luckily, we survived the dinner.There was a moment where they

(56:15):
maybe said 12 and 12 like. Yeah, 12 and 12 hours in the
day. And like half like you can,
right, If you just do 12 hours and 12 hours, like you can have
sex with more than one wife on the same day.
Yeah. And they he probably has in the
same 24 hours had sex. With it would be weird in a way
if he hadn't, I think. But like you, why are we saying

(56:38):
this? Yes, and like as the other wives
do, those thoughts cross throughyour hat.
Right, like your husband, you'reon the rotation immediately
after Robyn. We've discussed this.
Do you want to be before her? Do you want to be after her?
What do you want to do? Because.
Does he even have sex with you? Right.
Like if it's the night after Robyn, is he just like I'm good?

(57:00):
If it's the night before, Robyn is he I'm saving up or I'm
shooting my bullets like. Also, I want to understand the
differences in and do. Actually I don't want to, but I
do want to, you know what I mean?
Like I don't, but I do. You're preparing for your future
in the AUB. Lord, no.
I think Janelle and Kody had some decent sex.

(57:22):
Right? Like we discussed this.
Yeah. Yeah.
Christine and Kody clearly neverhad decent sex.
She no. So Robyn and Kody clearly have
since he had that touch experience.
Physical touch. And I think Meri and Kody, maybe
we're just young and dumb and didn't actually know what good
sex was, so they thought they were having this connection.

(57:44):
But that's since been blown out of the water as it does I.
Agree as you. Move through life.
Seems reasonable. So it's like, do we want
Christine's given us a glimpse of what their sex life is like?
Would we like the others to be like, listen, this is what it
was like? I don't, I haven't listened to

(58:04):
or read Christine's. I don't really want to know
because actually it sounds disturbing.
I think it's been very differentfor every single one of them, I
guess is the only point I'm trying to make.
Well, when you're referencing Meri's, the first thing I think
of is how long they didn't have sex, right.
So while they were young, yeah, they, they were young and
married and monogamous. They probably had plenty of sex.

(58:24):
And in her life experience, it might have been actually OK or
good or whatever. And for him, it was selfish.
So it's probably just fine. He probably came whenever he
felt like it. But like, obviously his other
wives joined. Those things changed.
He didn't have sex with Meri fora long time.
Christine, they didn't have goodsex for a long time.
And then she came around to probably figuring out how to at

(58:46):
least get off, probably without his help.
In a sense. He could have been in the room
kind of thing. And Janelle just made it happen.
As we've discussed many times, Robyn has some sort of special
touch, which means she's probably just shy, submissive,
pretty, blah blah blah. Well, lays there.

(59:06):
I think those are the words. Yeah, yeah.
I don't want to know. I don't want to know.
Yeah, we already went too far, Yeah.
Sorry about that everyone, apologies.
Well, but we don't want to talk about this sex, but kind of
sometimes we have to talk about the sex.
Because he says we don't want totalk about the sex, but then it
comes up at the dinner anyway because of course you're married
to four women. Just like one of the last times,

(59:28):
he said. I don't talk about sex and I'm
so offended when anybody asks meabout sex.
And then he's the one to give more information about the sex
than anybody else that's out there.
So what the fuck you know? Oh, Kody, that big strongman.
Gross. Cut to Robyn's house and the
wrap up of the episode. Thank God.

(59:50):
We're almost done, everyone. We're getting there.
Breathe in, breathe out. Robyn always wanted more kids.
She always wanted more children but she stopped during her
previous marriage because thingswere not going well.
She had envision of more children but then no.
No, because her husband was an asshole and a loser.

(01:00:11):
Something terrible happened, so she decided not to have any more
kids. Also, she refers to herself as a
single working mom, which we know she was a single mom for
less than a year and working. I'm not sure that we have any
evidence of that. Apparently she did have some job
at some point, but you know, jury's still out on that one.

(01:00:34):
I thought this was an interesting non information
giving a moment of commentary. You know, it is kind of that
thing. Like I'm going to tell you that,
yeah, in my last marriage, I stopped on purpose.
I was not having more kids with that man, right?
OK, yeah, OK. Yeah, All right.

(01:00:58):
And then we move on and I'm at the Browns.
Like that's basically what happened, right?
God had a different plan. Like.
God had a different plan from her plan.
It's just, you know, she RA, sheput she RA on the back burner.
We are not. We are not.

(01:01:18):
She met the Browns and all of a sudden she was ready for more
children. Yep.
So in this scene, Robyn is showing Kody some jumpers, some
children some. Children, she had a fee while he
was gone for the day. Which one do you want?
She had them on hangers. Oh, dollies.

(01:01:38):
Because the dollies switchers. Should.
We model our child after God, soI don't know if they're at the
couch at first or something, butall of a sudden we're in their
entryway at Robyn. We're in their entryway.
Like Robyn had been upstairs in the nursery.
And then Kody came home and he was like Robyn.
She was like, yes, Kody. And then she ran down the stairs

(01:01:59):
and then she was looking at babyclothes and they had this moment
that was actually super awkward and fucking weird before they
went up to Seaside Nursery. Yes, she has.
These are they jumpers? They're one piece.
What are these onesies? Onesies.
One piece onesies, You were so close to getting it.
OK, Well, onesies, yeah. You were like one piece onesies.

(01:02:25):
Onesies. Yeah.
OK. Well, onesies, she had onesies.
And one of them had some cute design on it.
It was like a patter, anything like a print, repeated,
whatever, I don't know, baseball's yada, yada, who
cares? The other one had wild child on
it. And Kody's like, oh, do you want
to invite wild child into our who our child will be?

(01:02:46):
Do we want to do that? Do you think this is how she's
tying the baseball knobs of the dresser and the jungle theme
together? And by these two stupid fucking
onesies. Wow, it could be.
There was a sporty 1 and a jungle one.
And ladies and gentlemen we will.

(01:03:07):
We get to the We end this awkward entryway moment.
We end this awkward entryway moment and we walk up the stairs
and we look at the nursery and it is cute.
I am not dogging on this nursery.
It has a little jungle theme. The furniture looks good.
Even though the black changing table does not match the other

(01:03:28):
furniture, it doesn't look stupid.
It's fine. There are the baseball knobs.
Didn't even notice them with allof the jungle.
Those knobs really tied the whole room together well.
The jungle animal theme with thebaseball knobs.
The two onesies that Robyn's still probably holding to try to

(01:03:51):
equate this sporty jungle monster together.
Like whatever. Sporty jungle.
I like, I'm just like, I don't get it.
So, but I hadn't tied the two. She did.
They did. Sports, they do a line.
The jungle. They do a line.
I didn't either. Oh God.
Now, the room was cute. The room is cute.
I'm totally, totally, totally fine, Yeah.

(01:04:12):
Agreed. Agreed.
Kody asks her or says this is your first baby room.
Does he say it or does he ask her because he asks her later?
Another question, but I think this one was more of a statement
like oh, it's your first room for a baby.
I think that we saw previews of this going from like commercial
break to whatever. So I think it's kind of hard to

(01:04:34):
see or to remember exactly what happened in the moment.
But I do think Kody is the firstone to acknowledge that Robyn
didn't have this with her previous children.
Yes, because then she has a voice over and they're showing
photos of her with her children when they were younger in her ex

(01:04:56):
husband's house or her house with her ex-husband and they're
very young. And she says that she never had
a crib for her children while these photos are playing over,
which was odd. I mean, is this common for
people that don't have money to buy a crib?
I I don't know that I've known anyone who doesn't have a crib,

(01:05:17):
no matter their money level. Here's where I'm struggling with
it. I'm sure I'm sure to answer that
question, yes, there are plenty of people that don't have a
crib. I'm sure that I'm sure just in
general that is possible Crips with like $800.
You know what I mean? Like, if you want to get like, a
big, nice piece of furniture, like you're spending hundreds.

(01:05:39):
And even when I did it however long ago, it was super
expensive. And it was like, holy shit.
Like, I didn't know you could spend this kind of money on
stuff anyway. Aside from that, though, I what
I struggled with was her response to Kody about this.

(01:06:01):
OK. Because Kody was like, yeah, I
kind of can't. I believe that, you know, your
kids never had this before. And I just, you know, and then
that's when Robyn is blah, blah,blah.
Behind the scenes, Kody asks herwhy she didn't have this for her

(01:06:23):
previous children. And she says, well, we probably
couldn't afford it and didn't have the space.
Right, OK. That's what she gives us, the
explanation. Now, if I had raised three
children and didn't have a crib for them, I wouldn't say we

(01:06:48):
probably couldn't afford it and didn't have the space.
I'd have a pretty definitive answer for you as to why my
three previous children didn't have a crib.
And now I am in a place where I'm having my first child that
has the opportunity to have one.I think I'd probably be able to

(01:07:09):
speak to that. It wasn't that weird it.
Does that probably plays a part in why I even the general
confusion over people not havingcribs?
Because I'm like, there wasn't any clarity given And it it's
totally in in lockstep with her stories of the ex-husband in
general that there's no details.And why wouldn't you have some

(01:07:30):
sort of details about not havinga crib for three children?
She had three children. No crib, no space for the
children. Were we living in a one bedroom
trailer? I don't get it.
Well, and listen, actually thereare people that maybe don't have
cribs for their kids, but they're like, yeah, we chose not
to or we, we really didn't have the space.

(01:07:50):
And so this is what we found to do that worked best for us.
Like it's this is not something where like it.
There is one way that it has to be done for every single family.
It does not. There can be multiple reasons
and multiple different ways. And as a parent, I would kind of
feel like you would you would want to justify this.

(01:08:14):
Yeah, you'd have a. Sounded dumb about it, Like,
well, I don't even know why I didn't have a crib for my kids.
Like that's what she sounded like.
I don't even know why we didn't have a crib for them.
Probably didn't have the space or didn't have the money.
You don't know. You don't know.
Like, at least pretend there wasa reason for it.
Yeah, you know. Strange and yeah, oh gosh, yeah.

(01:08:37):
Not to be two finger wag or something, but people know
people that have had children where you can get a crib, you
can buy second hand. There's places you could
probably go if you have literally no money where you
could maybe get a donation or something.
Like it's almost like the problem.
She can't solve any problems. Because if it's, if it was a
choice, like I think what you'resaying, if it was a choice,

(01:08:59):
there would be a rationale, there would be reason you don't
get Crips for your kids because you opt to do this thing.
Like, you know what, we figured this out.
It works fine. We don't feel the need to like,
you know, put a cog in the wheelor something, right?
Like we just want to keep on going.
This is fine. Like parents do that all the
time, right? Like all the time.

(01:09:20):
You are saying it could be this or it could be that and stuff
like I think you should be able to give us a more definitive
explanation. And I guess if you have to be
vague in order to not cause a thing, then maybe you should
just say, you know what I have agreed to not the in the best

(01:09:43):
interest of my children and their father.
I'm just going to be super careful about what I say.
And I'm not going to like, you can also do that.
Like you can be honest. You don't have to say I don't
know and stuff like. It fits with her like I'm 15
year old vibes. It's just so many things.

(01:10:05):
It's just so many things that are like we are lying and not.
We are avoiding, we are lying and we are avoiding, yet we are
expecting on honesty, transparency, and sitting down
for thoughtful conversations with all of the other people in
our lives. With the ultimate goal of

(01:10:26):
becoming selfless. So many things for Robyn, I
think, none of which will happen.
With the delusional goal. Yes, yes.
Of becoming selfless, because that is not.
Robyn No, she's never going to. It's never going to happen.
Robyn. Never going to happen.
Robyn sits on Kody's lap. Oh, I'm here to tell you about
these things. I'm here to tell you nothing.

(01:10:47):
I'm here to say we don't know. I, we didn't ever owe her money.
I don't know and stuff. So she's sitting on his lap
saying this. Kody tears up.
Oh, he feels the feels. And Kody tells us.
What does he tell us, honey? That he never had a kid he
didn't want. Yeah.
Fast forward to the future and there's.

(01:11:09):
I know I'd love to see. That are the opposite of that
from probably the the parties parties involved.
All of your children current dayprobably feel like, look you
might have wanted us in the beginning but you don't give a
fuck about us right now. Exactly.
Whoopsie doodle. Oh, Kody And it's another, it's
a second episode where like it ends and it's a little like, OK,

(01:11:32):
I guess that was the end. Yeah, yeah.
Very weird. The last 1 ended that way and so
did this one. Very strange Mustard seed.
OK mustard seed. I'm going first this.
Time please do. OK.
Thank you. Oh, why did I pick this episode?
OK, I. Don't know, but I'm happy.
I know right? Mustard Seed?

(01:11:53):
I gave my mustard seed last episode to Janelle and I feel
like I might have to repeat it. You know, I, I don't like to
give it to some of those random characters because there's a
random, a reoccurring random character that I would give a
nod to. But I'm going to give it to
Janelle because I am thumbs up about the continued workout
efforts and her attitude about it.

(01:12:13):
She definitely has the best attitude of the wives and it's
hitting and it's just nice to see her experience that as a
person. So I'm giving it to Janelle.
All right. Well, I'm going to go with the
one I think you were referring to, which is Bill and I Oh, was
it Bill? Theo is what I was.
Thinking about oh shit, fair enough, fair enough, I'm going
to go with Bill now. Theo does deserve an honorary.

(01:12:35):
Honorary for. Sure, I like to throw that out,
but I am going with Bill for finally saying help me, help me,
help me. I'm being assaulted by your wife
and nobody listening, of course.And I think Bill was trying to
tell us that he was being assaulted and nobody is aware of

(01:12:56):
this, but he tried to do it in like a super calm, cool,
collected manner, you know? His meathead cry for help.
Yeah, absolutely. I'm Bell.
We heard your cry for help. It's far in the distance in the
future and all of those things. We're far away.
But we hear your cry for help, Bill.
Kody, can you hear me? Shit stain, Shit stain.

(01:13:20):
Shit stain. Oh shit stain.
I'm going to go with the defaultof Kody Brown because his boys
night was lame. I'm not going to give it to him
for looking through the fingers bit because I can't give it to
him for that. I I understand it but the the

(01:13:41):
boys night was lame and his explanations of everything as I
was terrible and he favourites Robyn and it's so obvious.
So fuck Kody and Kody gets my shit stain.
I support that. I support that, obviously.
Yeah. I think I'm going to go with
Christine. Oh, OK, and.
I think I'm going to go with Christine just as a little bit

(01:14:04):
of like Josh and ya for admitting to giving up.
You know, you admitted that you gave up and have not put in the
same effort as the others. Also just for the constant
assaults on build. Yes, the assault and battery and

(01:14:25):
sexual harassment. And I guess that's the only real
reason. But I, you know, I wanted to go
with Robyn, but I felt like her,you know, wrongs in this episode
were very slight. She just.
For her, she just. Snuck them under the radar so I

(01:14:48):
just. A normal person, we'd be like,
this person's terrible. But for Robyn, it was like.
It wasn't. This one was OK, this one was
mid. For her it was.
Mid, young and hip on this podcast.
Robyn was mid on that one. OK.
Our Keep Sweet moment this week is rather than a specific
comment, it is some of the comments that we received on our

(01:15:12):
Patreon. We are doing our recaps of the
episodes as that come out every week for the season 20, which is
ongoing right now. And we had a delay this week
because I had to put my dog downand it was sad and we were very
sad about that. And we shared that story on
Patreon and there was so many comments of people sharing their

(01:15:33):
experiences and saying I'm sorryand all of that.
So rather than pointing out one person, I was just going to say
thank you to everyone that reached out on Patreon and
shared your condolences and all of that.
It was great. And we are keeping on keeping on
whatever the phrases are. Keeping on, keeping on.
Yes, we are keeping on. Keeping on, absolutely.
And we're going to give out our shit stains.

(01:15:55):
We're going to give out those mustard seeds and so there's
only a few episodes left of season 3.
We do have an exciting end of season 3 because there is a tell
all Season 3 tell all which is not available on streaming with
Natalie Morales and we are goingto be re watching that.
So if you've made it this far, you're getting a little tidbit

(01:16:18):
of the future, just a little teaser, just a little fun.
Now, Ali, you said you had something that you wanted to
tell me about on this episode, and I've been waiting on bated
breath. Abated.
Breath abated. Isn't that like getting rid of
asbestos or something? I've been waiting on bated
breath. Abatement.
Abatement breath. I've cleared out the nether

(01:16:40):
regions. Bated breath, My testimony has
been cleared. I got the shot.
My my testimony is cleared. We're feeling a lot better.
So I'm ready to hear your update.
About a week ago in recording time now this this, you know
probably spreads a longer distance and what our listeners

(01:17:02):
are listening to whether. That's a few episodes ago, yeah.
I, I do believe that we were watching a church service where
Christine held up a piece of paper and said that everyone has
Jesus's number. If they needed to get in touch

(01:17:23):
with Jesus, they should do that.And as it turns out, that
number, if you were to try to text Jesus, Jesus today, that I
think I didn't Fact Check this, but it did, it says it was
Jesus. So I texted 53787.
OK now it took a few hours to get a response but I said are

(01:17:49):
you there? I actually left an E off of
there which is hysterical. I just said, are you the God?
Typo on your message to God. And she's like, clearly she does
need help. Yes.
And I said it's me dot dot dot alley, OK?
Typo to God, honey. And well explains a lot right?

(01:18:13):
So God slash Jesus responds back5 plus hours later.
Hi, you actually sent your text to Jesus and have reached a
Christian ministry here to share.
Hope my name is Jack and I wouldlove to hear your story and talk
but also want to respect your privacy and not engage with

(01:18:39):
minors on inappropriate or sensitive topics.
Isn't it funny that they have toclarify that Chris and their
welcoming message? That seems like a very specific
disclaimer. There's it continues.
Feel free to message back if youwant to talk and are at least 18
years old or have parental permission to talk.

(01:19:02):
Oh, so when you bring in the parental permission, it sounds
less like a sex line like the ones we called before?
Well. On this very show, I think it's
also quite hysterical. It's there's some parallels with
1800 eat shit and 1800 fuck off.And.
If you text Jesus. Hallelujah.
Jesus, Lord help me. And they're like, are you 18?
Please, we can't talk to those kitties anymore.

(01:19:24):
Please be 18 to talk to Jesus. Now that evening I wasn't
feeling super chatty with Jesus,so I didn't respond.
Back. OK, you needed some time.
I and then and then the next dayI was getting ready for work and
boy, he reached out again and I thought how nice that you care

(01:19:44):
this much and Jesus slash Jesus AKA Jack.
Oh, Jack through Jesus, or Jesusthrough Jack.
Said Looks like you may have changed your mind about wanting
to chat. I'm going to close this out as a
good bot does. But feel free to chat or text

(01:20:06):
back and if you have questions or want prayer, I want to
encourage you that God loves youand has a plan for your life.
We are all broken sinners and inneed of a Savior.
We can be forgiven and reconciled to God through a
relationship with His Son Jesus Christ, who paid the price for

(01:20:29):
our sins through His death on the cross.
Jesus wants to be a part of yourlife.
Then there's a link to www.chataboutjesus.com and it
says blessings. Chataboutjesus.com.

(01:20:49):
I did not click on the link, I was a little scared.
Oh yeah, could be a virus. However, I would just like to
say that maybe that's why I'm inthe cult now.
I was wondering if Christine wasgiving us this number to text so
that you would text and now lookat you, you're an AUB member
full-fledged waiting for the sister wives to come in.

(01:21:12):
Have you joined Kody? I mean, it's shocking how
quickly they can get their hands.
Your dreams. There's so many things aligning.
Honey, the fifth wife, it's all making sense.
Jesus really does answer prayersthrough Jack through text.
Jesus. Akh Yeah.
Her prayers were answered. Well, thank you God and Jack and

(01:21:36):
Jesus. Amen.
