(00:10):
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.
(00:47):
Season 3 episode 3-4 houses 4 relationships.
Well, that's beautiful. Yeah. 4 houses and four
relationships. And it's going so well already,
yeah. They start off the episode with
this kind of like with this recap of Robyn spotting and
(01:09):
etcetera from our last episode. What I do love is that it starts
with this clip of the white Lexus pulling up into the strip
mall office. And I'm like, thank you for the
reminder that we took the convertible with the top down to
our medical appointment. Sorry I'm putting medical in
quotes even though it is a medical appointment.
Right. Yeah, it wasn't as early in the
(01:31):
day as they usually are, I don'tthink.
It was the sun was up. Yeah, it was daytime that.
Was different. That was different.
Absolutely. They weren't going to see the
midwife in the in the dark of night.
So that was a change. But of course, we, you know,
have our part of this recap is that the midwife does the
Doppler, which we already knew from the last episode can't find
(01:51):
a heartbeat and the music is very tense during this moment.
It's very tense. Everyone's very tense and then
the midwife does get Robyn onto the medical exam bed or chair or
whatever it's called. Right, which was part of our
questioning last week, right, was why are we laying on a
(02:12):
couch? Like what is the rationale
laying on a couch? Was it easier to film?
Potentially. Like, and we're seeing this
footage again on this episode when she's like, oh, she told me
to lay on the couch. You can see the exam chair in
the corner. So it's like, exactly.
It was very strange. We're even more confused, but.
OK, but you know, whatever in this strip mall, that's what
(02:32):
this midwife does. Yes.
And we get to learn that her name is April, which is nice.
When they're doing the ultrasound though, they do get a
little heart flicker, so that's wonderful.
Very quickly, very quickly knew that everything was going to be
OK and you know, so that was that was good, yes.
Yes, April thinks that there's apotential RIP in the placenta
(02:55):
and that this is already or willheal, right.
Kody and Robyn embrace next to the Lexus because they got some
good news. Well, of course, but it's just
the way you're saying it, honey.I mean.
(03:16):
They embraced. They were very.
Happy and we are very happy for them.
Yes, yes. Absolutely.
Everyone is very relieved. We're we're glad.
That's great. The best news they could get?
Correct. Now, so what's interesting about
this episode, kind of like AI shouldn't say it's interesting.
It's not. The thing that happens in this
(03:37):
episode like so many others is all of a sudden you're wondering
what are we doing and like, why are we there and what's
happening? So we cut to Meri at her place
and she's measuring the top of this piece of furniture.
But like around the trinkets? Through the trinkets on the top.
Just fucking move the trinkets, Meri, come on.
(03:57):
She had to create a pathway for her, tape measure it.
Was so funny. Through the trinkets.
What is she doing? And it was kind of funny because
I'm like going, OK, so she's using this tape measure and then
she's drawing on a piece of paper.
You know, she's got her her square footage because we later
find out she's measuring the room, she's measuring the doors,
she's measuring everything. You think it was accurate
(04:18):
though? Do you do I think she measured
accurately? Yeah.
I would guess so. I mean, it's Meri.
Why do you think she can't use the tape measure?
The way she was measuring that cabinet through the trinkets and
then she was doing it like angled up the wall at 1:00.
Point, yeah. What are you measuring?
So I just don't know what she was trying to get out of it.
Fair enough. You know, I think we have to at
(04:41):
least give her a participation medal or a participation ribbon
because she did try. She did try.
Because next we have Christine into the space to join because,
oh, we're going to go shopping, which is what we find out that
they're going to go shopping anddo a new room for each one of
the wives. So Christine is popping over.
They're going to probably go to the store or do something.
(05:02):
They're kind of teeing up that she's swinging by and she kind
of did she ask Meri, what are you doing?
Yes, And Meri's like I'm measuring, Christine says.
I didn't even think about that. I was so funny I just because
she was totally like, oh, I guess that's the thing you could
do like, right? Would never have occurred to her
(05:24):
had she not, like ever in her life.
Occurred to her probably had shenot seen Meri doing it.
Yes, it was very funny to watch just because as we're getting to
know these people, it's just another indicator of who
Christine is. Like going furniture shopping.
And probably not only did she not bring out a tape measure and
whatever, I don't even know thatshe would have properly sized it
(05:45):
up, right? Like just sat in the space and
been like, what could even fit? Like I don't know if she would
even do that. Well truly what they end up with
in her space is large furniture and it does buy like the skin of
her teeth work basically, but itwas large furniture in that
space. Yeah, she must have had a nice
large bedroom, so that's good. And this is where Kody tells us
(06:08):
after Christine makes me laugh out loud by saying that she
didn't even think about measuring, where Kody says they
have a budget for each wife to redo one room.
And I think it's funny when we talk about budgets because we do
have these finite resources. So there's budgets for rooms to
shop. And I'm wondering.
And for rings? Where this budget comes from,
(06:30):
yes, you know, is it a production budget?
Because we actually do have to have you do something.
Or is it family money? You know, it's weird with TV
shows because you never kind of know.
I would assume it's actually family money because I don't
think the show would buy them furniture.
I think the show probably pays for vacations and meals and
stuff, but probably not furniture, no.
(06:51):
So I'm just curious where this money's coming from.
I wonder how many? And like, nobody's working
right. How many hours Janelle spent
rocking in Ben at night going Like how are we going to pay for
any of this? Is anybody getting, is it really
just money from like their last season of the show probably or
something like, but how are theypaying for all this?
I I don't know, they're talking.Points are that they all don't
(07:13):
have the job and they're all trying to figure out what
they're going to do. So, but I am thank the Lord
Jesus they tried to do somethingin those houses, you know, So I
guess like, I'm not mad about this.
This is a good thing. We do need to get moving on
getting these houses looking half decent to people because
yeah, that's important. They give each wife a moment
(07:34):
about her goals with this shopping extravaganza and
Christine talks about wanting a new bedroom set.
She walks us through how her boxspring and mattress were on the
floor and they give us a shot. And it didn't look as bad as she
made it sound. No, it was like a high, yeah, a
high box spring and like a high mattress.
(07:55):
So it did not look like it was on the ground.
No, the way she made it sound, it was.
I was worried. I was like, you have got to be
kidding me. But it didn't look that bad.
You're right. It could have passed that.
It was just short of a headboard, right?
Didn't have the headboard. But I do value a bed frame as a
person, so it's nice to not sleep on the literal floor.
(08:17):
So Janelle is going to get new living room furniture if things
align for her. And she hopes that it'll help
the kids feel more like home here.
And she kind of gives us some examples of it's really a lot of
flashback of like Hunter and thekids not being all that happy
about where they are. Right, they are still adjusting.
It is not going well. Yeah, some sour puss moods, but
(08:40):
also I don't think they're long lived, which is great.
Robyn, of course, wants some bedroom furniture, and when
she's walking us through her room, we get to see that Kody's
side of the bed is boxes like his side table is some stacked
boxes. Stacked up boxes with a lamp on
top. Yeah, now you know if you need a
(09:02):
table and you don't got a table,I guess that serves a function.
I mean I have been in an apartment of yours, certainly
where there was boxes. Jesus doesn't end tables for a
hot 2nd. Yeah, when you make a big move.
You were much younger. Yeah, well, and that was it.
That was a multi state move. And then I was like, I'm not
(09:22):
going to get things out of alleyways.
I'm going to be particular and I'm going to do things.
So yeah, like my TV was on a boxand I ate food off of a box.
And boy, that apartment turned into one of the cutest you had
for a little while. You know, like.
And while Robyn's talking about this, she brings up something
that, once again, she's always got to bring up, she always has
(09:43):
to make. She has to ruin everything.
Robyn always has to ruin everything.
Yes, she does. So she's bringing up how it may
be uncomfortable for people to be in her bedroom other for the
wives. She sensed it was uncomfortable
for other wives while they were in the room.
Yes, and then she she brings this up on a couch moment with
(10:04):
all of the other wives and Kody.Was Kody there or?
Was, I think Kody was there. And she, yeah, she says that
they that she feels like it's not comfortable.
And then Christine said, well, Ididn't feel uncomfortable being
in Robyn's bedroom, but I don't want any of them in my bedroom.
And I was like, oh, so this is like a thing.
(10:25):
Like, it's like a thing that we don't.
Yeah, well, and I felt that because Meri, and Meri basically
volunteers that she doesn't careat all because whatever.
And Christine seems a bit, I don't know, both sides of the
fence. And Janelle's like, yeah, I
don't go into bedrooms. I don't go to my mom's bedroom.
I don't go into my sister's bedroom.
(10:46):
And I, I tend to lean towards I don't go in people's bedrooms
unless they have made it really clear that like this is just
another space in my home. Like some people sounds like in
my home, like I don't encourage people to just go spend time in
my bedroom. So I don't know.
But I think Robyn has this implication that it's some sort
of marital blah, blah, blah. And I feel like when Janelle was
(11:10):
talking about, it was just general kind of like, I don't go
in people's bedrooms, so. It's interesting, right?
Because like, no, I wouldn't go like hang out in someone's
bedroom, right? Like I'm not going to go like
just lay on your bed and chill. But what I thought, like they're
going into Robyn's bedroom because they're all about to go
pick out furniture for. This room.
(11:31):
So it would only make sense thatthey see the space like this is
not a come and see my marital space with your husband, you
know, like it's. Not let me put away the sex toys
quick. Well, and I'm like, is a bedroom
really like that sacred? Like I don't, I guess.
And their call today is I'm sure, but it, it was just weird
(11:51):
to me because you're going to gobuy furniture for this through
and certainly you want other people's input and you will give
her input. So you, duh.
What are you even talking about?Why is this a conversation?
Why are we talking about it? Much Ado about nothing once
again, Robyn just making problems where there aren't any.
And then we make one of my favorite transitions thus far of
(12:12):
the show. 100% like I was so in love with this.
We're outside of a retail store in a shopping center and the
camera pans up. They're walking into the store,
the camera pans up and we get tosee the sign.
And the sign says it's Colleen'sclassic consignment.
And I was like, thank you, thankyou, thank you, thank you.
(12:35):
Colleen. I'm like, where is Colleen?
Why isn't she the one on camera?Where is she?
Also, why don't we have consignment stores like that
here? Do we have consignment stores
like that here? They got some decent things.
I feel like that stuff is up here in the Midwest.
I feel like it's more in small towns like where we come from.
There's consignment shops, but Idon't know about here.
(12:56):
Anyway, because I, I mean, for, for the decade that they were in
and the style of things that they would choose, they
definitely got significant pieces of furniture for their
homes at a consignment store, right?
And it looked like legit furniture.
It was not IKEA furniture. And we'll get into some of those
details, but yeah, it wasn't like going to a discount
(13:20):
furniture place and getting the crappiest stuff that didn't look
like. That it didn't look like that at
all, no. And salesman Theo, oh Theo, he
is a character. I fucking love Theo Theo's
great. My favorite thing about our
introduction to Theo, though, we, we, he doesn't talk a lot.
We don't, we don't dive deep with him right away.
But Kody says he understands interior design, and I go why?
(13:44):
How he does. Like, how are we jumping to this
conclusion? I mean, he does work here, but
there was nothing indicating that this man wearing black
pants and a white shirt hopping around the consignment store was
going to be an interior designer.
Also, he's just a salesman. He's going to sell you on
something that he can tell that you will like.
Like it has nothing to do with actual design.
(14:06):
He's reading you and what you'redoing and showing you the most
absurd things he can so that youwould consider them, you know?
But he got it right away. Theo got it right away, Kody
said. With what they were looking for
and just boom, you know, helped him with everything.
I'm in no way trying to say thatTheo is bad at his job, of
course. Please good.
Mad respect for Theo. Just would I label him as an
(14:29):
interior design specialist within seconds of beating him?
Probably not. I don't know.
I don't know. But that's just me.
I am a gay man and whatever within seconds.
Well, you know. It's like, oh, good to meet
Theo, he must be great at interiors.
Like what? But this is what they do with
it. OK pattern, right?
Every person that provides a service to them in some fashion
(14:53):
like this or their realtor or the surf shop or the the.
Midwife with the leather couch. Right.
Well, like, literally like anything, like anywhere they go,
the Christmas tree farm, the this, the that, like anywhere
they go, they befriend someone that they can latch on to
throughout that experience that's going to amp up, you
(15:15):
know, they're joking and filmingand this and that.
And that's the role that Theo played.
Yeah. Albeit very, very well, yes.
You know, not only is he a salesman, he's a showman, Yes,
and he demonstrates that. Agreed.
Yeah, there's a moment when Kodyis talking about Theo and Kody's
(15:35):
telling him, Oh no, no, no, I apologize.
Theo goes to Kody. Something along the lines of
trying to shop for furniture with four wives.
This is going to be terrible. You know, like basically like
shit, dude, what are you doing? Like this is I don't, I don't
know if we should do this. And Kody said don't pity me,
(15:56):
Theo. Like, don't pity me.
I'm like, I think when we were watching the show, you said we
do, Kody. Yeah, I was like, I pity you, I
feel bad for you, but you know, that's just because I'm a
chauvinist and a sexist. Well, this is what I say to you
every day. Well proven.
Well founded. There is evidence on this very
show. Clearly, Clearly.
(16:19):
But yeah, I mean, do I want to go shopping with four women for
furniture? Probably not.
It does not sound fun. So like, just just for the
record, I. I probably don't even want to go
shopping with me for furniture I.
Like going shopping for my stuff.
Yes, you do like shopping for your.
Stuff. Let's actually think about this.
We shop. Well, together for interiors
(16:40):
though. We do, but I don't know if we
have shopped for furniture for me together.
I don't think so. 'Cause I've only moved like a
handful of times and more than you know.
But anyway, no, I don't think wehave.
But for you, certainly, I know I've.
Been, yeah, When you were getting big bulk pieces, I was
or larger purchases. I don't think I've been Privy
for any of that around for that.Yeah.
(17:02):
Kody and Christine find a bed really quickly, which is great.
Robyn asks another stupid question that she's really,
really good at about leaving to give them privacy to lay on a
bed in public in a store. But then she also walked around
the corner and they like, jumpedon the bed.
Like they really were waiting for her to leave before they
could. And I'm like what?
(17:23):
Yeah. Like just some of these vibes.
I'm like, what are you guys doing?
It doesn't feel very adult. It seems strange.
It's interesting. Interesting for sure.
But when you're talking about Christine and Robyn, we're
probably not talking about the most mature people as well.
So Amen. Janelle, I think it starts as a
voice over. I'm not sure, but she kind of
(17:45):
goes into her, you know, storytelling about having an
identity crisis. And this has been a theme of
hers since the move. She's still trying to figure out
what she can do professionally and obviously as a career driven
woman that has left her feel in a certain kind of way.
Yes, she said it's taking a tollon her.
(18:07):
She has been looking. She's been looking for a while.
Nothing has panned out. I don't know.
Did she say really what she was trying to do?
I know they dabbled in real estate for 30 seconds, but I
don't know if she said what elseshe was looking for.
No, she didn't give details about any gigs, but I think what
we know at this point is that she did kind of some bookkeeping
(18:31):
in previous jobs where it was like, it's not a, she was not an
accountant. She was like, you know, a
bookkeeper. Administrative.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's a weird moment
where they're God like, you know, so they're on the couch
and Janelle is kind of talking about this with everyone, about
(18:56):
how she's been struggling with this.
And Kody, you know, I'll give him.
No, don't give him anything. The, the credit I was going to
give was for how I felt his emotion was genuine.
Like sometimes you can tell whenhe is being kind of like
genuinely positive about something or even like slightly
(19:19):
like giddy, you know, I, I thinkhe was being genuine about what
he was saying, but he leaned over to Janelle and said
something to the extent of like this, this new way that we're
trying to rebuild our relationship has been very
romantic. And he has this look on his face
(19:41):
and Janelle is like, do not giveme that look on your face right
here next to my sister wives. This is uncomfortable, Sir.
It was kind of interesting. It was like, whoa, Kody.
Yeah, he, this is not the first time where I feel like he's
referenced their relationship asif they're two buddies, like
they're two men and they get together and they talk business
and it's very intellectual. That's always their talking
(20:02):
points of their relationship. And so I guess her not having a
job. I don't know where this
transition comes from except for.
Because he was saying they were saying at one point like the
decor, how he this is maybe thisis how the conversation started,
was that they were like two men when it came to decor.
Decorating. Like they both just really don't
care that much about that stuff.They're like, yeah, it's a
(20:24):
couch. It works, That's it.
And so we're more similar like that, like we are with business,
like we are with this, but that they have been trying to do,
yeah, you know, whatever with their relationship.
Which leads to this conversationof the shift in their
relationship, which is becoming more romantic because they can't
talk shop, right? So what, you're just fucking all
(20:44):
the? Time having sex and talking
about it in front of their sister wives and Janelle is like
man. And she literally said out loud,
like, I am uncomfortable talkinglike this right now.
Like, what are you doing, Sir? We don't do this.
But he was being giddy and. I think it didn't.
It didn't feel like his intentions were bad, but you
(21:04):
just fuck everything up, Kody, So, you know, there's that.
When we return back to Colleen'sclassic consignment.
Just going to add one more syllable every time I say it.
Meri has found a brown traditional couch that she
likes. It has the rounded arms.
(21:25):
It reminds me of when people used to do that, Tuscan
interiors in the early 2000s. You know, the Browns and the
golds and the yellows and the warms.
That's but. A little more Victorian.
Victorian. Like like not quite Tuscan, OK,
a little more Victorian style, yes, but like super traditional.
(21:48):
Yes. To be fair, the couch is not
Tuscan. I was thinking it's in the same
house next to the Tuscan kitchen, you know, from back in
the day. Amen.
But no, it's just a brown traditional couch with round
arms from the early 2000s. Yes, definitely early 2000s.
And so she's, you know, saying she likes it.
I feel like Christine sat on it.They're like, yeah, this is
(22:09):
great or whatever. And then Theo.
Theo has to show Kody a modern couch with no arms.
No arms on the couch, a rounded,like an arched back.
I don't really know how to describe curved, excuse me,
curved back. And to me it looked like
(22:29):
commercial office furniture. And I was very surprised that
anyone was showing this to Meri to be in her home.
Theo talks about what these couches mean to Meri, what kind
of person she is, and that she'sa strong, independent, modern
woman. And all of a sudden he just goes
on this thing. I don't even know what to say
about it. They were trying to sell her on
(22:51):
furniture she really kind of didn't want, actually.
But of course Kody loved it. And you know, it got a little
complicated with how it all ended up.
Now, does Meri go back and buy the original furniture at some
point? I don't think we know that.
I feel like the couch she moved out of her Flagstaff home was
(23:13):
more like the original furniturethat she wanted in this show.
But this was a consignment storeso I'm not saying that it's like
the exact same thing. I because I thought for sure she
bought the first stuff. Like I was watching it.
I was like, Oh yeah, that's that's her couch.
That's the one she buys. Like that's the couch she had
when she moved, but that's not the one she bought.
(23:35):
So I think she goes back and gets one similar to that.
Internet sleuths. If I'm right let me know, but I
could be wrong. Yeah, because they do end up
moving into larger spaces. Meri has more rooms to fill as
time goes on. She probably does purchase
another living room set. I mean, even in her home she's
in now, this rental, it's not like it's one room.
There's probably 2 living areas at least.
(23:56):
So I do think that she does end up with that more traditional
couch, but this couch with the curved back is like iconic and
Sister Wives universe because itgoes when she's leaving the
Flagstaff home. That couch is still there too.
The curved back one it is. So am I picturing something?
I wonder what I'm thinking of. I'm going to have to have to do
(24:17):
some some some looking. We have some very memorable
moments that happen on that couch without arms for sure.
But Meri definitely has other furniture, probably including a
nice old brown couch. Yeah.
I just thought for sure that's the one she had.
I'm losing it. It was just funny when they were
talking about what these couchesmeant, because I was like, is
this supposed to mean something?But really it was just a
(24:39):
salesman and salesman Huntsman. See, this is the thing too, is
then you get Kody in there and he's like, oh, I like this more.
So I'm going to craft some narrative where all the sudden
Meri likes it. So that's what happens.
And Robyn describing Meri duringthis process as modern hot
happening Meri because, you know, she's a combination of the
traditional and the modern and she's kind of giving Meri a
(25:00):
bunch of kudos. I don't know describing her
positively. I don't know, she said.
She was a complicated girl. Yeah.
You're a complicated girl. I don't.
That didn't sound super positive.
But then she just blah blah about it for a little while and
you know, that's all I got from that.
Thank you for another riveting moment, Robyn.
(25:21):
We cut to the furniture being delivered.
Colleen's classic consignment onthe side of the truck.
They discussed being in separatehomes.
And Kody says, you know, that it's absurd that we're moving
furniture into four different homes.
We should be moving it into one big home.
Meri is still nervous about her dental office couch being
(25:44):
delivered because it doesn't match her taste and she is more
of a traditional woman. So lovely to hear that she's
nervous about her furniture being delivered.
She said she didn't pick it, though, right.
Like she said that everybody else made the choice and she
didn't actually remember saying,yes, OK, we'll get this one.
She just, everybody else said they're getting this one.
(26:05):
And so that's what she got. And the furniture that she
picked or she did not pick was being moved in.
Yeah, Yeah. And that was a little
interesting. They were trying to place it in
the room. They certainly did not have it
in the right spot to begin with,she said.
It's not perfect. We'll work on it.
(26:25):
And they did. And they did it, yes.
Now we cut to an exterior of a jeweler.
So all of a sudden we're at a jeweler.
And Christine says that they've been wanting to buy Kody a ring
for a while, a collada ring for the symbolism.
We've obviously discussed coladarings a bit in the past when we
(26:45):
didn't know what they meant. So they re describe what it
means and I don't remember what the words were that they said.
Love, loyalty and friendship. Love, loyalty and friendship.
So that's wonderful that they want to give Kody this ring to
serve as a wedding ring for all four of them because they all
have colada rings. It's their thing, their vibe,
(27:05):
the ring that they, they are shown obviously multiple rings
within the one that they emphasized with the show it has,
it's a collada ring, it's gold and it has a heart in the for
the main part towards the bottomhalf of the face of the ring.
Then on the top is 3 diamonds ina row.
The jeweler says that they can put a fourth one in and they
(27:27):
say, well, where would the 4th 1go?
And she says, oh, right in the middle of the heart and not by
the other three diamonds, which I was like, hold on, I like
slammed on the brakes and I went, what the fuck are we
doing? You cannot have three diamonds
in a row and then one in a heart.
That's insane. It would have not been the right
(27:47):
decision, that's for sure. No, but they leave us on this
cliffhanger that that's what they're going to do.
I guess the jeweler says I can have it to you by 5:15 or some
shit. So same day.
So they're like, yeah, we're going to move forward with this.
And it's like, OK, great. Now cut back to Oh my God, we're
going back to the houses and thefurniture's there.
We're going to talk about the furniture now.
So we start with Christine. She has a four post bed, very
(28:13):
sexy, very adult dark wood furniture, king size bed, looks
like side table dresser, a traditional bedroom set as a
concept, dark wood in a dark room.
It was very dark, but of the time I guess probably of the
time 5 or 10 years before that time 0 great, but it was a big
improvement. It looked good, it just looked
(28:34):
dark. Reds, maroons, deep colors.
Yep, and for not measuring the room that you could walk around
the bed and stuff like that. Like, it did fit.
Maybe go to Janelle's new space,her living room.
And it looks like the Western times and I had flashbacks to
the teepee that she lived in fortwo hours.
(28:55):
I'm like, yes, Janelle. She's like friends with the
mountain men, you know, living that life.
Cowboy boots his lamps. Yes, yes, Kody says.
I think Janelle loves me becauseI'm a cowboy and I almost puked.
I almost threw up. I missed that and I'm glad I did
because that's not true. Well, he kind of is a cowboy, I
(29:16):
guess, when he gets to the ranch.
Well, this is it. So he's able to do some things
on the ranch, which of course you know, some of the women just
Gaga goo goo over. And it does align with Janelle's
inner Cowboys and Indians vibe. So there's that.
But this was clearly like a showfloor all set up like this, this
furniture all together, and we took it home this way.
(29:37):
Yep. And in classic Janelle fashion,
everything was like up against the wall, right?
Like the room was big enough where I kind of feel like you
could have put the couch like couches in and had things on the
wall and had it be a little moreappealing.
Instead, it was like decorating one O 1 where you just put every
item one next to each other along the wall.
And it's like, OK, I mean, fair enough.
(29:58):
Doesn't look terrible, but it does look like a retail floor
setup that you just put in your living room.
They cut to them on the couch and Janelle points out some
difference between her and Robynand Kody's relationship.
Do you remember how this starts?Like what she says or what
triggers this? I want to say that she's she's
(30:24):
talking something about how Robyn would play or I don't know
if she said play or pretend, butact sometimes like this damsel
in distress. And she just needed Kody to,
like, do all of these things forher.
And Janelle said, you know, I'm independent.
(30:45):
I don't need that. I'd see this.
And it kind of made me go like, why are you acting like that?
I don't remember why she was making that point, though.
I'm not sure what the goal of itwas.
I know it seemed like it must besomething about their
potentially their whole way of looking at furniture.
Maybe it was like the good old boys club with Kody and Janelle
and some sort of thing about that.
(31:06):
There's some sort of transition point between that and her
talking about the way Robyn is in her relationship and the
damsel in distress, what not. And yeah, it was interesting.
Janelle talks well, Janelle saysthat she likes to be independent
and that she doesn't need a man in that same way.
Robyn points out that she was more independent and not so like
that with her man in her first marriage and learned that if you
(31:28):
want a relationship to work, youneed to have that.
I don't know what she says, but I think what she's getting at is
the back and forth in the sharedI something that she's trying.
Janelle doesn't have, I think, right?
What she's trying to say is thatI'm going to make my man feel
like I need him and he's my Lordand savior and I could not live
(31:51):
without him. So that, you know, he does
everything I want him to do. And so that's what she's saying.
I mean, she's talking about how she now manipulates people
instead of being independent anddoing things on her own.
And then she kind of throws a dig at Janelle, like, but you
like to do that, so that's fine,you know, like.
Like what I did in my failed marriage is what you're doing
(32:13):
now Like. Yes, it was not.
It was. It was very subtle, but
backhanded. Like yeah, I did not enjoy.
It it definitely read that way for sure.
Meri talks about how she likes her updated living room.
They show it and it's weird because so she did get this
curved armless dentist office couch is what I'm calling it.
(32:37):
And then accompanying that on the floor, room, floor, room
floor show. Showroom floor.
Showroom floor must have been a couple chairs or something, and
I think she went ahead and got four of them, those chairs.
Yeah, there was lots of furniture in that room.
Exactly. Several seating areas.
I feel like she bought 4 chairs instead of two and then there
(32:58):
was lamps inside. There was a lot in that space
and she had it angled like coming Like nothing was directed
at the TV. They were just directed at each
other. And there's a reason I'm calling
it dental office furniture because it does look like that
to me. It doesn't look like a living
room. It looks like there's ATV and a
piano. And then the rest is like who
did this? I think the placement actually
(33:18):
worked. I was fine with the placement
and the angles. I thought it was probably the
best arrangement they could havelanded on for the space and the
furniture. But does that mean I loved it?
No, no. But I do think it was the right
layout to begin with. Kody said something like what
you're going to say that I'm right and Meri says Kody is
(33:42):
right often. And I think that's interesting.
A little trauma trigger. You know, I have a former friend
who one point said to me something like you never give me
compliments. And it was like 5 minutes after
I had complimented them on something in their apartment,
like they had these wonderful candlesticks that they made look
(34:04):
like fall and autumn and it was Halloweeny.
And then like black pillar candles in it.
And I was like, that is so cool and so cute and whatever.
And then like 5 minutes later, this caddy gay man was like, you
never compliment me. And I'm like, I just
complimented you like 5 minutes ago.
And it reminds me of when peopleare like, you never say I'm
right or like blah, blah, blah. And you could be like, you're
right regularly. Like it doesn't have to be like
(34:25):
I kind of don't like when peopleare like, oh, I'm never right,
am I? Or like you never say I'm right.
And it's not a real thing. Like this feels like it's not a
real thing. Like Meri's.
Like, I think you're right often.
I don't feel like Meri's probably telling Kody he's wrong
all the time. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm just laughing because I liketo acknowledge anytime anyone
says I'm right, so I do this a lot.
(34:47):
You like to acknowledge anytime someone says you're right.
Yeah, like if my son tells me I'm right, I'm like, did you
hear that? He said I was right.
He said I was right. He did say you ever a teenager?
He said I know but the way you're saying this I'm like I do
that like 3 * a week so and you hear it so like sorry.
No, it's more the whole like younever.
Yeah, my example does not work because mine is about
(35:10):
compliments and this is about saying something's right.
You're right, you're right. Maybe I'm delusional, but I
don't mind telling people when they're right.
Like, you're right, you're totally right.
I don't. Think I think acknowledging when
people are right is completely. That whole hang up on the ego
bed of like, I can't acknowledge.
I can't, I can't. Like it's like, what?
But I was just hoping it didn't derail because it felt a little
bit like, are you guys going to have an issue now about being
(35:31):
right? And it was like, no, thank God.
Meri was smart enough to be like, you're right.
Often Kody and I'm like, good girl, get him to shut the fuck
up. And then we get a glimpse into
Robyn's bedroom. Robyn's Bourgeois The sacred
bedroom. I was like, where are you going?
Like what is happening? We're going into Robyn's sacred
(35:51):
bedroom. And did you have any thoughts
about Robyn's bedroom, honey? You know, I thought it was cute.
I don't know. I like the bedding.
Definitely very feminine, kind of like a little bit of an
ombre. Purple into pink into mauve, you
(36:12):
know, kind of colors on the bed and whatnot.
But I like the shelving that shepicked.
OK. And I think the dresser, like I
it looked nice enough. I thought it looked nice enough
with the exception of the oddly placed palm tree neon lamp on a
bedside table. Oh.
(36:34):
I missed that. That I did not think fit the
style at all. Right.
But other than that, I thought it was a perfectly nice room.
Wonderful. You know, I thought it looked
like a great bed to give birth on and to have your uncle, step
daddy film it. It just had that vibe.
(36:55):
It looked like a great place forthat activity.
I'm glad it was calling out to you in that way.
So I missed the lamp. I missed this neon tree lamp,
but you know. But Uncle Daddy was there in my
heart. Uncle Stepdaddy.
OK, they have a sappy moment on the couch.
What was the sappy moment about?I think I tuned it out.
(37:16):
I so tuned it out, but I think the gist I got of it was that
Kody was describing how he felt about the bedroom and he felt
that it was so sweet. Like the way Robyn did it was so
sweet. And he looked at her and he
(37:36):
said, and I just don't. I just sometimes don't think
people understand how sweet you are.
And he says this long, it's kindof like he had just done to
Janelle with the new relationship thing, but now he's
turning the other direction in something to Robyn with like
Meri in the middle. And he's like, sorry, Meri, you
know, because they're having this, like, teary moment about
(37:58):
being sweet. Sorry, Mayor.
That is what he said. Sorry, Mayor.
Yeah, some sort of thing about them being whatever they are and
it was gross, but. Being whatever they.
Are it's like what those things are?
It's like, yeah, I guess if you don't know who Robyn is, it's
not so terrible or who Kody is. What am I even saying?
(38:19):
Right. And now we're approaching the
end of the episode. Thank God this one was kind of
boring, I mean. We're never going to get that
time back, and you're never going to get this time back.
No, sorry, guys. Like this episode was like, not
a lot happened. We should have maybe
acknowledged that at the beginning.
Like there was not. Yeah, they got furniture and a
(38:42):
ring. Like, yeah, you know.
Well, all the wives take Kody todinner, what looks like a
Mexican restaurant. There was some chips on the
table there. Sure was some.
Colours on the wall, Yeah, I wasfeeling festive, I was.
Maybe a sign that Kody sold them?
Kidding. We know that's not true.
Cantina Tantina. I can't remember what the name
of that place was. Fiesta Cantina.
(39:04):
Maybe. Yeah, I don't remember Trauma
Block, but they're at this wonderful Mexican restaurant.
Meri's really wishing she could have a tequila drink, but
they're filming. So she's like, we don't drink
while we're filming because we don't drink in our cult.
And so she's like, oh, sitting next to Kody.
It's Kody at the head of the table.
Meri, Robyn, Chanel and Christine on the other side and
(39:26):
Meri starts in on some oh, we have a little gift for you.
So Meri takes out this box and starts talking about how about
the colada symbolism for their family and that they have colada
rings and gives the box to Kody.And he kind of says something
like, well, I guess it's not a mystery with this is or he.
Was so like thanks for telling me what the gift is.
(39:48):
She's so classic Meri, like looks at everyone else and she's
like, oh, sorry, I guess I didn't, I shouldn't have done
that. And they're like, it's fine.
We don't actually care, just hand them the fucking ring.
Exactly. It's so funny.
I love that. Yeah.
So she totally gave away what the ring was, which is funny.
And Kody is blown away. He's so appreciative.
He loves his wives and he loves his new ring.
(40:11):
But it didn't seem like that over the top, like he didn't
like cry about it or anything. He's like, oh wow, wow,
gorgeous. It's so cool.
Wow, like that. That was the vibe.
I I think he liked it, but this was not like an emotional like
Oh my God, I just can't believe they did this for me.
Which is interesting because he would think your 4 spouses are
(40:34):
giving you a symbolic ring of their shared unions with you,
your celestial bond. And I think he still wears it to
this day. We'll see.
He, I, I don't know, there's some ring drama later seasons
and I don't really know where all that landed, but it did seem
odd. Like I feel like if my spouse
(40:54):
gave me a symbolic ring, I maybewould because I of course I'm a
crybaby, but I probably would feel more emotional than what he
was. Just like he, he did kind of
make it seem like it was like a birthday watch.
Like, oh cool, it's like all my other watches or something, you
know? Like it wasn't a big deal.
Well, but then they had a couch moment and he was like, yeah, I
got the ring and it was so emotional.
Yeah. And it was like, OK, yeah.
(41:14):
It was so emotional. Yeah, that's why I, I, I
remember being like, wow, Kody is blown away.
Right. No, it was not that, No SO.
And then we were trying to see aclose up.
We actually rewound. So you'll notice when you're
listening to us on this show, wewatch it once and then we
record. So when I'm asking, do you know
what happened there? I'm often times like I don't
know what happened there. And same with Ali, like we're
(41:38):
we're just, we're doing the bestwe can everybody.
So this time we actually did rewind to try to get a better
look at the ring because they show it from an over the
shoulder perspective, but the footage is not in focus and the
ring is golden, shiny and diamonds.
When it's under like the neon lights of a restaurant, you
know, like it's not, the lighting ain't working for us to
(42:00):
see anything. And they certainly didn't think.
Just take a separate shot of it afterwards, God forbid.
So which would have been nice tosee what the ring actually
looked like, but from the blurryfreeze frame that we could get,
it did look it appeared to be allegedly.
It appeared that there were fourdiamonds at the top where there
(42:20):
were the three, the row of threeoriginally, and that the heart
was still just a heart. Now that's what I saw through my
squinty, elderly eyes. And I think you're likely
accurate. I couldn't distinguish enough of
anything to tell you what I think I saw.
It was interesting, but I guess overall we're just glad if there
(42:47):
was not a diamond in the center of that heart, of that heart,
that that was a smart choice. So.
The symbolism on something like that is insane.
Like whatever. So glad that didn't happen or I
wish it would have happened. Maybe that would have speed some
things along, some drama. It probably would have that
would they would have never gotten over that if Robyn would
have like pushed and pushed and pushed for that.
(43:09):
You guys, I just don't think thering is going to look good
enough if we don't put it in thecenter of you guys.
It's not going to be balanced. I don't think that's the right
vibe we're going for. I think if we really want to get
this ring for him, it has to be perfect.
And the only way that it's goingto be perfect is if there is one
diamond in the center of that heart and the three above it.
I don't. Why are you not understanding
this with me? Even she said when they were
initially talking about it, likeit's for the wife who's with him
(43:31):
at the moment or something. It's like, what if he's not with
a wife? Yeah, well, Robyn's like, well,
he's with me all the time anyway.
Stupid bitch. Everybody.
Everybody hates Robyn. Rightfully so.
Mustard seed and shit stain. Do you have a mustard seed
ready, honey? Is your frontal lobe developed
enough where you can give us a mustard?
Seed. Just barely.
Robyn, just barely. Mustard seed.
(43:54):
Oh goodness. I'm going to go out on a limb
here. And it's Theo.
Oh, yes, yeah. OK, OK.
My mustard seed is for Theo. He is a good, He's a great
character. Yes, good dude.
Liked it. Liked it?
You agreed that shopping with four women would be a terrible
experience. And he as a salesman man, he
(44:16):
read that room and he delivered.He they all left with furniture.
It was beautiful. It was a beautiful thing.
So props Theo, if you're out there.
I I'm going to give my mustard seed to Janelle because even
though she bought furniture thatobviously came as a set and then
literally just put it in the most obvious places that you
(44:39):
would when you were like 18 and never put furniture anywhere, it
was a good step for her to do so.
She said this is the most decorated a place has ever been
of mine. And they joked about how
Christine had always decorated her places.
Well, I guess that probably meant just the compound, and
that was pretty sparse. Like for her to have actual
things, even if it was a lamp made out of boots, it was a
(45:02):
thing. It was cute.
It was cute. You know, I had shitty furniture
that was not far off from that, but it was, you know, African
themed, so. I remember your African themed
furniture. Oh my God.
No, it did not all come as a set.
To be super clear, I did piece it together which makes it a
little worse. Curated with care.
(45:24):
That's what your African basement was like.
Yeah, I thought there's care in this space there.
You go there you go. Well, we were also drunk
Anytime. We were down there.
I felt a lot of care, I felt a lot of things.
We did not hang out down there sober.
No, I don't think I was ever in that basement sober.
Oh, maybe when we moved you out and that was probably it.
And even then, I was probably onmy way out of sober.
(45:44):
So yes, yes, Amen 100. We definitely were not sober
when we moved out of that home. There's a tower.
Oh, there's one. Tower with beer cans.
It was like a Christmas tree of beer cans.
And it wasn't Christmas. You had to drink X amount of
beers and move X amount of things before you.
(46:05):
Could yes, I forgot about that. There is photo evidence of.
This there it is. It exists it.
Exists. That's funny.
Blast from the past. Oh my gosh.
Shit stain. Oh shit stain.
I think it's going to be one of the obvious.
I'm like, you pick one, I'll pick the other.
I'll go with Robyn. OK, Robyn.
Yes, excellent, excellent. Yeah, now I wanted to give her a
(46:27):
little bit of grace for the beginning of the episode because
obviously they had a rough start, but thank goodness
everything was OK. So now I feel like I can still
deliver the shit stain to her. And the reason I'm going to
deliver the shit stain is because I think she had some
backhanded shit there today. I think she had some backhanded
shit. There was the Meri comment.
What was the Meri one? The what was?
(46:50):
She's a complicated woman. Oh, that.
She's a complicated woman and I don't think she was trying to be
nice there. There was the Janelle 1.
I don't think she dogged Christine at all this episode.
I didn't hear her putting Christine down directly.
No, but I just, you know, I justdon't like her.
Yeah, excellent shit stain for Robyn.
I'm giving my shit stain to Kodyfor all of the obvious reasons.
(47:14):
One that I would point out and highlight was his non reaction
to the ring. It felt a bit like, yeah, it
just was kind of a nothing burger.
And that was a little disappointing considering that,
well, you know, and now I don't know if it was editing why they
just threw in that they went to a jeweler and like picked it out
and then that was that. Like maybe they downplayed it
with the editing because I wouldthink that if 4 wives are going
(47:35):
in together on getting a ring, it would be more sentimental
than like a throwaway B or C line storyline of an episode.
It didn't feel like much of anything.
And I think that was probably because of Kody.
They probably didn't have much to work with anyway.
I wonder if there was anything else about Kody that I really
hated this episode. I'm trying to think, too.
The ring reaction really just threw me off because, yeah, he
(47:59):
said again. We're saying the words, yeah,
but the actions don't match that.
No, he was blown away. And then I don't.
I don't know if he had any otherbad moments this episode,
though. Just the furniture, picking out
stuff again. It was kind of boring.
Really. Pushing a couch on Meri that was
not a merry couch. But you know, whatever, I guess
(48:19):
when you feel like you can get away with something.
And the other women maybe didn'twant his opinion about things
but he agreed with you. And also, I don't know, he's
just an idiot. Kody gets a shit stain
sometimes. There's not even a reason
needed. There you go.
There you go. Yeah, Like I said, it was they
didn't do a lot. There wasn't a lot of big
controversy, but it was kind of boring.
(48:40):
Our keep sweet moment this week comes to us from Apple Podcast.
A review from Evan 96, EV. AN-96.
So I'm thinking that's Evan 96. Not sure.
Evan Yvonne. Evan I.
Would go with Evan, yeah. Evan, I don't know why I'm
trying to make it. Like honestly, this is the most
simple username. You read this entire thing and I
(49:03):
think you were right with Evan 96, I think.
Evan 96I apologize for overcomplicating your username,
particularly with some of our other ones that didn't roll off
the tongue. Tammy Tammy 2 Tang Titty Titty
Bang Bang. Titty titty Bang Bang oh titty
titty Bang Bang keep those inside that titty coat titty
titty Bang Bang well Evan 96 says we are so much fun.
(49:27):
You 2 are great and I look forward to every week.
Hilarious. That's so sweet.
Oh my God, isn't. That nice.
I can't believe people out therein the world say things like
that, like. You look forward to us every
week. That's very, very nice.
And sometimes I feel a little weird reading them out loud
because I'm like, oh, that one didn't actually hit me as a
(49:48):
person until I read it. And then I was like, oh, that is
actually really nice. That's.
So nice. We can't believe that people
listen to this. Yeah.
I mean, we're glad, super appreciative.
We are glad. We are glad.
So just a quick reminder, end ofepisode, we are going to be
doing season 20 recaps on Patreon.
We will be plugging that link coming up as the new season
(50:10):
approaches. So don't worry, you will see it
from us. You will hear about it from us.
Just getting you a heads up thatwe are going to be doing that.
Anything. Oh my gosh, we recap the whole
trailer for season 20. So we recap the entire trailer,
which I'm sure is just great foreveryone to hear, but you should
check that out because it's a little bonkers.
(50:31):
All right, anything else you'd like the world to know, Ali this
week? You know what?
Just stay safe everybody, right?Literally try to stay sane.
If even listening to this show is part of your routine to get
out of the world that's happening, just know that we as
hosts are doing the same thing. We are doing this to escape the
(50:51):
world that has happened. That's why we're doing it, Yes.
We're like, we can't. We're just going to hide in my
basement. Thank you for being in the safe
space with us. Hopefully we keep it safe enough
for you. Take care and God bless.
Bye bye.
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.
(00:47):
Season 3 episode 3-4 houses 4 relationships.
Well, that's beautiful. Yeah. 4 houses and four
relationships. And it's going so well already,
yeah. They start off the episode with
this kind of like with this recap of Robyn spotting and
(01:09):
etcetera from our last episode. What I do love is that it starts
with this clip of the white Lexus pulling up into the strip
mall office. And I'm like, thank you for the
reminder that we took the convertible with the top down to
our medical appointment. Sorry I'm putting medical in
quotes even though it is a medical appointment.
Right. Yeah, it wasn't as early in the
(01:31):
day as they usually are, I don'tthink.
It was the sun was up. Yeah, it was daytime that.
Was different. That was different.
Absolutely. They weren't going to see the
midwife in the in the dark of night.
So that was a change. But of course, we, you know,
have our part of this recap is that the midwife does the
Doppler, which we already knew from the last episode can't find
(01:51):
a heartbeat and the music is very tense during this moment.
It's very tense. Everyone's very tense and then
the midwife does get Robyn onto the medical exam bed or chair or
whatever it's called. Right, which was part of our
questioning last week, right, was why are we laying on a
(02:12):
couch? Like what is the rationale
laying on a couch? Was it easier to film?
Potentially. Like, and we're seeing this
footage again on this episode when she's like, oh, she told me
to lay on the couch. You can see the exam chair in
the corner. So it's like, exactly.
It was very strange. We're even more confused, but.
OK, but you know, whatever in this strip mall, that's what
(02:32):
this midwife does. Yes.
And we get to learn that her name is April, which is nice.
When they're doing the ultrasound though, they do get a
little heart flicker, so that's wonderful.
Very quickly, very quickly knew that everything was going to be
OK and you know, so that was that was good, yes.
Yes, April thinks that there's apotential RIP in the placenta
(02:55):
and that this is already or willheal, right.
Kody and Robyn embrace next to the Lexus because they got some
good news. Well, of course, but it's just
the way you're saying it, honey.I mean.
(03:16):
They embraced. They were very.
Happy and we are very happy for them.
Yes, yes. Absolutely.
Everyone is very relieved. We're we're glad.
That's great. The best news they could get?
Correct. Now, so what's interesting about
this episode, kind of like AI shouldn't say it's interesting.
It's not. The thing that happens in this
(03:37):
episode like so many others is all of a sudden you're wondering
what are we doing and like, why are we there and what's
happening? So we cut to Meri at her place
and she's measuring the top of this piece of furniture.
But like around the trinkets? Through the trinkets on the top.
Just fucking move the trinkets, Meri, come on.
(03:57):
She had to create a pathway for her, tape measure it.
Was so funny. Through the trinkets.
What is she doing? And it was kind of funny because
I'm like going, OK, so she's using this tape measure and then
she's drawing on a piece of paper.
You know, she's got her her square footage because we later
find out she's measuring the room, she's measuring the doors,
she's measuring everything. You think it was accurate
(04:18):
though? Do you do I think she measured
accurately? Yeah.
I would guess so. I mean, it's Meri.
Why do you think she can't use the tape measure?
The way she was measuring that cabinet through the trinkets and
then she was doing it like angled up the wall at 1:00.
Point, yeah. What are you measuring?
So I just don't know what she was trying to get out of it.
Fair enough. You know, I think we have to at
(04:41):
least give her a participation medal or a participation ribbon
because she did try. She did try.
Because next we have Christine into the space to join because,
oh, we're going to go shopping, which is what we find out that
they're going to go shopping anddo a new room for each one of
the wives. So Christine is popping over.
They're going to probably go to the store or do something.
(05:02):
They're kind of teeing up that she's swinging by and she kind
of did she ask Meri, what are you doing?
Yes, And Meri's like I'm measuring, Christine says.
I didn't even think about that. I was so funny I just because
she was totally like, oh, I guess that's the thing you could
do like, right? Would never have occurred to her
(05:24):
had she not, like ever in her life.
Occurred to her probably had shenot seen Meri doing it.
Yes, it was very funny to watch just because as we're getting to
know these people, it's just another indicator of who
Christine is. Like going furniture shopping.
And probably not only did she not bring out a tape measure and
whatever, I don't even know thatshe would have properly sized it
(05:45):
up, right? Like just sat in the space and
been like, what could even fit? Like I don't know if she would
even do that. Well truly what they end up with
in her space is large furniture and it does buy like the skin of
her teeth work basically, but itwas large furniture in that
space. Yeah, she must have had a nice
large bedroom, so that's good. And this is where Kody tells us
(06:08):
after Christine makes me laugh out loud by saying that she
didn't even think about measuring, where Kody says they
have a budget for each wife to redo one room.
And I think it's funny when we talk about budgets because we do
have these finite resources. So there's budgets for rooms to
shop. And I'm wondering.
And for rings? Where this budget comes from,
(06:30):
yes, you know, is it a production budget?
Because we actually do have to have you do something.
Or is it family money? You know, it's weird with TV
shows because you never kind of know.
I would assume it's actually family money because I don't
think the show would buy them furniture.
I think the show probably pays for vacations and meals and
stuff, but probably not furniture, no.
(06:51):
So I'm just curious where this money's coming from.
I wonder how many? And like, nobody's working
right. How many hours Janelle spent
rocking in Ben at night going Like how are we going to pay for
any of this? Is anybody getting, is it really
just money from like their last season of the show probably or
something like, but how are theypaying for all this?
I I don't know, they're talking.Points are that they all don't
(07:13):
have the job and they're all trying to figure out what
they're going to do. So, but I am thank the Lord
Jesus they tried to do somethingin those houses, you know, So I
guess like, I'm not mad about this.
This is a good thing. We do need to get moving on
getting these houses looking half decent to people because
yeah, that's important. They give each wife a moment
(07:34):
about her goals with this shopping extravaganza and
Christine talks about wanting a new bedroom set.
She walks us through how her boxspring and mattress were on the
floor and they give us a shot. And it didn't look as bad as she
made it sound. No, it was like a high, yeah, a
high box spring and like a high mattress.
(07:55):
So it did not look like it was on the ground.
No, the way she made it sound, it was.
I was worried. I was like, you have got to be
kidding me. But it didn't look that bad.
You're right. It could have passed that.
It was just short of a headboard, right?
Didn't have the headboard. But I do value a bed frame as a
person, so it's nice to not sleep on the literal floor.
(08:17):
So Janelle is going to get new living room furniture if things
align for her. And she hopes that it'll help
the kids feel more like home here.
And she kind of gives us some examples of it's really a lot of
flashback of like Hunter and thekids not being all that happy
about where they are. Right, they are still adjusting.
It is not going well. Yeah, some sour puss moods, but
(08:40):
also I don't think they're long lived, which is great.
Robyn, of course, wants some bedroom furniture, and when
she's walking us through her room, we get to see that Kody's
side of the bed is boxes like his side table is some stacked
boxes. Stacked up boxes with a lamp on
top. Yeah, now you know if you need a
(09:02):
table and you don't got a table,I guess that serves a function.
I mean I have been in an apartment of yours, certainly
where there was boxes. Jesus doesn't end tables for a
hot 2nd. Yeah, when you make a big move.
You were much younger. Yeah, well, and that was it.
That was a multi state move. And then I was like, I'm not
(09:22):
going to get things out of alleyways.
I'm going to be particular and I'm going to do things.
So yeah, like my TV was on a boxand I ate food off of a box.
And boy, that apartment turned into one of the cutest you had
for a little while. You know, like.
And while Robyn's talking about this, she brings up something
that, once again, she's always got to bring up, she always has
(09:43):
to make. She has to ruin everything.
Robyn always has to ruin everything.
Yes, she does. So she's bringing up how it may
be uncomfortable for people to be in her bedroom other for the
wives. She sensed it was uncomfortable
for other wives while they were in the room.
Yes, and then she she brings this up on a couch moment with
(10:04):
all of the other wives and Kody.Was Kody there or?
Was, I think Kody was there. And she, yeah, she says that
they that she feels like it's not comfortable.
And then Christine said, well, Ididn't feel uncomfortable being
in Robyn's bedroom, but I don't want any of them in my bedroom.
And I was like, oh, so this is like a thing.
(10:25):
Like, it's like a thing that we don't.
Yeah, well, and I felt that because Meri, and Meri basically
volunteers that she doesn't careat all because whatever.
And Christine seems a bit, I don't know, both sides of the
fence. And Janelle's like, yeah, I
don't go into bedrooms. I don't go to my mom's bedroom.
I don't go into my sister's bedroom.
(10:46):
And I, I tend to lean towards I don't go in people's bedrooms
unless they have made it really clear that like this is just
another space in my home. Like some people sounds like in
my home, like I don't encourage people to just go spend time in
my bedroom. So I don't know.
But I think Robyn has this implication that it's some sort
of marital blah, blah, blah. And I feel like when Janelle was
(11:10):
talking about, it was just general kind of like, I don't go
in people's bedrooms, so. It's interesting, right?
Because like, no, I wouldn't go like hang out in someone's
bedroom, right? Like I'm not going to go like
just lay on your bed and chill. But what I thought, like they're
going into Robyn's bedroom because they're all about to go
pick out furniture for. This room.
(11:31):
So it would only make sense thatthey see the space like this is
not a come and see my marital space with your husband, you
know, like it's. Not let me put away the sex toys
quick. Well, and I'm like, is a bedroom
really like that sacred? Like I don't, I guess.
And their call today is I'm sure, but it, it was just weird
(11:51):
to me because you're going to gobuy furniture for this through
and certainly you want other people's input and you will give
her input. So you, duh.
What are you even talking about?Why is this a conversation?
Why are we talking about it? Much Ado about nothing once
again, Robyn just making problems where there aren't any.
And then we make one of my favorite transitions thus far of
(12:12):
the show. 100% like I was so in love with this.
We're outside of a retail store in a shopping center and the
camera pans up. They're walking into the store,
the camera pans up and we get tosee the sign.
And the sign says it's Colleen'sclassic consignment.
And I was like, thank you, thankyou, thank you, thank you.
(12:35):
Colleen. I'm like, where is Colleen?
Why isn't she the one on camera?Where is she?
Also, why don't we have consignment stores like that
here? Do we have consignment stores
like that here? They got some decent things.
I feel like that stuff is up here in the Midwest.
I feel like it's more in small towns like where we come from.
There's consignment shops, but Idon't know about here.
(12:56):
Anyway, because I, I mean, for, for the decade that they were in
and the style of things that they would choose, they
definitely got significant pieces of furniture for their
homes at a consignment store, right?
And it looked like legit furniture.
It was not IKEA furniture. And we'll get into some of those
details, but yeah, it wasn't like going to a discount
(13:20):
furniture place and getting the crappiest stuff that didn't look
like. That it didn't look like that at
all, no. And salesman Theo, oh Theo, he
is a character. I fucking love Theo Theo's
great. My favorite thing about our
introduction to Theo, though, we, we, he doesn't talk a lot.
We don't, we don't dive deep with him right away.
But Kody says he understands interior design, and I go why?
(13:44):
How he does. Like, how are we jumping to this
conclusion? I mean, he does work here, but
there was nothing indicating that this man wearing black
pants and a white shirt hopping around the consignment store was
going to be an interior designer.
Also, he's just a salesman. He's going to sell you on
something that he can tell that you will like.
Like it has nothing to do with actual design.
(14:06):
He's reading you and what you'redoing and showing you the most
absurd things he can so that youwould consider them, you know?
But he got it right away. Theo got it right away, Kody
said. With what they were looking for
and just boom, you know, helped him with everything.
I'm in no way trying to say thatTheo is bad at his job, of
course. Please good.
Mad respect for Theo. Just would I label him as an
(14:29):
interior design specialist within seconds of beating him?
Probably not. I don't know.
I don't know. But that's just me.
I am a gay man and whatever within seconds.
Well, you know. It's like, oh, good to meet
Theo, he must be great at interiors.
Like what? But this is what they do with
it. OK pattern, right?
Every person that provides a service to them in some fashion
(14:53):
like this or their realtor or the surf shop or the the.
Midwife with the leather couch. Right.
Well, like, literally like anything, like anywhere they go,
the Christmas tree farm, the this, the that, like anywhere
they go, they befriend someone that they can latch on to
throughout that experience that's going to amp up, you
(15:15):
know, they're joking and filmingand this and that.
And that's the role that Theo played.
Yeah. Albeit very, very well, yes.
You know, not only is he a salesman, he's a showman, Yes,
and he demonstrates that. Agreed.
Yeah, there's a moment when Kodyis talking about Theo and Kody's
(15:35):
telling him, Oh no, no, no, I apologize.
Theo goes to Kody. Something along the lines of
trying to shop for furniture with four wives.
This is going to be terrible. You know, like basically like
shit, dude, what are you doing? Like this is I don't, I don't
know if we should do this. And Kody said don't pity me,
(15:56):
Theo. Like, don't pity me.
I'm like, I think when we were watching the show, you said we
do, Kody. Yeah, I was like, I pity you, I
feel bad for you, but you know, that's just because I'm a
chauvinist and a sexist. Well, this is what I say to you
every day. Well proven.
Well founded. There is evidence on this very
show. Clearly, Clearly.
(16:19):
But yeah, I mean, do I want to go shopping with four women for
furniture? Probably not.
It does not sound fun. So like, just just for the
record, I. I probably don't even want to go
shopping with me for furniture I.
Like going shopping for my stuff.
Yes, you do like shopping for your.
Stuff. Let's actually think about this.
We shop. Well, together for interiors
(16:40):
though. We do, but I don't know if we
have shopped for furniture for me together.
I don't think so. 'Cause I've only moved like a
handful of times and more than you know.
But anyway, no, I don't think wehave.
But for you, certainly, I know I've.
Been, yeah, When you were getting big bulk pieces, I was
or larger purchases. I don't think I've been Privy
for any of that around for that.Yeah.
(17:02):
Kody and Christine find a bed really quickly, which is great.
Robyn asks another stupid question that she's really,
really good at about leaving to give them privacy to lay on a
bed in public in a store. But then she also walked around
the corner and they like, jumpedon the bed.
Like they really were waiting for her to leave before they
could. And I'm like what?
(17:23):
Yeah. Like just some of these vibes.
I'm like, what are you guys doing?
It doesn't feel very adult. It seems strange.
It's interesting. Interesting for sure.
But when you're talking about Christine and Robyn, we're
probably not talking about the most mature people as well.
So Amen. Janelle, I think it starts as a
voice over. I'm not sure, but she kind of
(17:45):
goes into her, you know, storytelling about having an
identity crisis. And this has been a theme of
hers since the move. She's still trying to figure out
what she can do professionally and obviously as a career driven
woman that has left her feel in a certain kind of way.
Yes, she said it's taking a tollon her.
(18:07):
She has been looking. She's been looking for a while.
Nothing has panned out. I don't know.
Did she say really what she was trying to do?
I know they dabbled in real estate for 30 seconds, but I
don't know if she said what elseshe was looking for.
No, she didn't give details about any gigs, but I think what
we know at this point is that she did kind of some bookkeeping
(18:31):
in previous jobs where it was like, it's not a, she was not an
accountant. She was like, you know, a
bookkeeper. Administrative.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's a weird moment
where they're God like, you know, so they're on the couch
and Janelle is kind of talking about this with everyone, about
(18:56):
how she's been struggling with this.
And Kody, you know, I'll give him.
No, don't give him anything. The, the credit I was going to
give was for how I felt his emotion was genuine.
Like sometimes you can tell whenhe is being kind of like
genuinely positive about something or even like slightly
(19:19):
like giddy, you know, I, I thinkhe was being genuine about what
he was saying, but he leaned over to Janelle and said
something to the extent of like this, this new way that we're
trying to rebuild our relationship has been very
romantic. And he has this look on his face
(19:41):
and Janelle is like, do not giveme that look on your face right
here next to my sister wives. This is uncomfortable, Sir.
It was kind of interesting. It was like, whoa, Kody.
Yeah, he, this is not the first time where I feel like he's
referenced their relationship asif they're two buddies, like
they're two men and they get together and they talk business
and it's very intellectual. That's always their talking
(20:02):
points of their relationship. And so I guess her not having a
job. I don't know where this
transition comes from except for.
Because he was saying they were saying at one point like the
decor, how he this is maybe thisis how the conversation started,
was that they were like two men when it came to decor.
Decorating. Like they both just really don't
care that much about that stuff.They're like, yeah, it's a
(20:24):
couch. It works, That's it.
And so we're more similar like that, like we are with business,
like we are with this, but that they have been trying to do,
yeah, you know, whatever with their relationship.
Which leads to this conversationof the shift in their
relationship, which is becoming more romantic because they can't
talk shop, right? So what, you're just fucking all
(20:44):
the? Time having sex and talking
about it in front of their sister wives and Janelle is like
man. And she literally said out loud,
like, I am uncomfortable talkinglike this right now.
Like, what are you doing, Sir? We don't do this.
But he was being giddy and. I think it didn't.
It didn't feel like his intentions were bad, but you
(21:04):
just fuck everything up, Kody, So, you know, there's that.
When we return back to Colleen'sclassic consignment.
Just going to add one more syllable every time I say it.
Meri has found a brown traditional couch that she
likes. It has the rounded arms.
(21:25):
It reminds me of when people used to do that, Tuscan
interiors in the early 2000s. You know, the Browns and the
golds and the yellows and the warms.
That's but. A little more Victorian.
Victorian. Like like not quite Tuscan, OK,
a little more Victorian style, yes, but like super traditional.
(21:48):
Yes. To be fair, the couch is not
Tuscan. I was thinking it's in the same
house next to the Tuscan kitchen, you know, from back in
the day. Amen.
But no, it's just a brown traditional couch with round
arms from the early 2000s. Yes, definitely early 2000s.
And so she's, you know, saying she likes it.
I feel like Christine sat on it.They're like, yeah, this is
(22:09):
great or whatever. And then Theo.
Theo has to show Kody a modern couch with no arms.
No arms on the couch, a rounded,like an arched back.
I don't really know how to describe curved, excuse me,
curved back. And to me it looked like
(22:29):
commercial office furniture. And I was very surprised that
anyone was showing this to Meri to be in her home.
Theo talks about what these couches mean to Meri, what kind
of person she is, and that she'sa strong, independent, modern
woman. And all of a sudden he just goes
on this thing. I don't even know what to say
about it. They were trying to sell her on
(22:51):
furniture she really kind of didn't want, actually.
But of course Kody loved it. And you know, it got a little
complicated with how it all ended up.
Now, does Meri go back and buy the original furniture at some
point? I don't think we know that.
I feel like the couch she moved out of her Flagstaff home was
(23:13):
more like the original furniturethat she wanted in this show.
But this was a consignment storeso I'm not saying that it's like
the exact same thing. I because I thought for sure she
bought the first stuff. Like I was watching it.
I was like, Oh yeah, that's that's her couch.
That's the one she buys. Like that's the couch she had
when she moved, but that's not the one she bought.
(23:35):
So I think she goes back and gets one similar to that.
Internet sleuths. If I'm right let me know, but I
could be wrong. Yeah, because they do end up
moving into larger spaces. Meri has more rooms to fill as
time goes on. She probably does purchase
another living room set. I mean, even in her home she's
in now, this rental, it's not like it's one room.
There's probably 2 living areas at least.
(23:56):
So I do think that she does end up with that more traditional
couch, but this couch with the curved back is like iconic and
Sister Wives universe because itgoes when she's leaving the
Flagstaff home. That couch is still there too.
The curved back one it is. So am I picturing something?
I wonder what I'm thinking of. I'm going to have to have to do
(24:17):
some some some looking. We have some very memorable
moments that happen on that couch without arms for sure.
But Meri definitely has other furniture, probably including a
nice old brown couch. Yeah.
I just thought for sure that's the one she had.
I'm losing it. It was just funny when they were
talking about what these couchesmeant, because I was like, is
this supposed to mean something?But really it was just a
(24:39):
salesman and salesman Huntsman. See, this is the thing too, is
then you get Kody in there and he's like, oh, I like this more.
So I'm going to craft some narrative where all the sudden
Meri likes it. So that's what happens.
And Robyn describing Meri duringthis process as modern hot
happening Meri because, you know, she's a combination of the
traditional and the modern and she's kind of giving Meri a
(25:00):
bunch of kudos. I don't know describing her
positively. I don't know, she said.
She was a complicated girl. Yeah.
You're a complicated girl. I don't.
That didn't sound super positive.
But then she just blah blah about it for a little while and
you know, that's all I got from that.
Thank you for another riveting moment, Robyn.
(25:21):
We cut to the furniture being delivered.
Colleen's classic consignment onthe side of the truck.
They discussed being in separatehomes.
And Kody says, you know, that it's absurd that we're moving
furniture into four different homes.
We should be moving it into one big home.
Meri is still nervous about her dental office couch being
(25:44):
delivered because it doesn't match her taste and she is more
of a traditional woman. So lovely to hear that she's
nervous about her furniture being delivered.
She said she didn't pick it, though, right.
Like she said that everybody else made the choice and she
didn't actually remember saying,yes, OK, we'll get this one.
She just, everybody else said they're getting this one.
(26:05):
And so that's what she got. And the furniture that she
picked or she did not pick was being moved in.
Yeah, Yeah. And that was a little
interesting. They were trying to place it in
the room. They certainly did not have it
in the right spot to begin with,she said.
It's not perfect. We'll work on it.
(26:25):
And they did. And they did it, yes.
Now we cut to an exterior of a jeweler.
So all of a sudden we're at a jeweler.
And Christine says that they've been wanting to buy Kody a ring
for a while, a collada ring for the symbolism.
We've obviously discussed coladarings a bit in the past when we
(26:45):
didn't know what they meant. So they re describe what it
means and I don't remember what the words were that they said.
Love, loyalty and friendship. Love, loyalty and friendship.
So that's wonderful that they want to give Kody this ring to
serve as a wedding ring for all four of them because they all
have colada rings. It's their thing, their vibe,
(27:05):
the ring that they, they are shown obviously multiple rings
within the one that they emphasized with the show it has,
it's a collada ring, it's gold and it has a heart in the for
the main part towards the bottomhalf of the face of the ring.
Then on the top is 3 diamonds ina row.
The jeweler says that they can put a fourth one in and they
(27:27):
say, well, where would the 4th 1go?
And she says, oh, right in the middle of the heart and not by
the other three diamonds, which I was like, hold on, I like
slammed on the brakes and I went, what the fuck are we
doing? You cannot have three diamonds
in a row and then one in a heart.
That's insane. It would have not been the right
(27:47):
decision, that's for sure. No, but they leave us on this
cliffhanger that that's what they're going to do.
I guess the jeweler says I can have it to you by 5:15 or some
shit. So same day.
So they're like, yeah, we're going to move forward with this.
And it's like, OK, great. Now cut back to Oh my God, we're
going back to the houses and thefurniture's there.
We're going to talk about the furniture now.
So we start with Christine. She has a four post bed, very
(28:13):
sexy, very adult dark wood furniture, king size bed, looks
like side table dresser, a traditional bedroom set as a
concept, dark wood in a dark room.
It was very dark, but of the time I guess probably of the
time 5 or 10 years before that time 0 great, but it was a big
improvement. It looked good, it just looked
(28:34):
dark. Reds, maroons, deep colors.
Yep, and for not measuring the room that you could walk around
the bed and stuff like that. Like, it did fit.
Maybe go to Janelle's new space,her living room.
And it looks like the Western times and I had flashbacks to
the teepee that she lived in fortwo hours.
(28:55):
I'm like, yes, Janelle. She's like friends with the
mountain men, you know, living that life.
Cowboy boots his lamps. Yes, yes, Kody says.
I think Janelle loves me becauseI'm a cowboy and I almost puked.
I almost threw up. I missed that and I'm glad I did
because that's not true. Well, he kind of is a cowboy, I
(29:16):
guess, when he gets to the ranch.
Well, this is it. So he's able to do some things
on the ranch, which of course you know, some of the women just
Gaga goo goo over. And it does align with Janelle's
inner Cowboys and Indians vibe. So there's that.
But this was clearly like a showfloor all set up like this, this
furniture all together, and we took it home this way.
(29:37):
Yep. And in classic Janelle fashion,
everything was like up against the wall, right?
Like the room was big enough where I kind of feel like you
could have put the couch like couches in and had things on the
wall and had it be a little moreappealing.
Instead, it was like decorating one O 1 where you just put every
item one next to each other along the wall.
And it's like, OK, I mean, fair enough.
(29:58):
Doesn't look terrible, but it does look like a retail floor
setup that you just put in your living room.
They cut to them on the couch and Janelle points out some
difference between her and Robynand Kody's relationship.
Do you remember how this starts?Like what she says or what
triggers this? I want to say that she's she's
(30:24):
talking something about how Robyn would play or I don't know
if she said play or pretend, butact sometimes like this damsel
in distress. And she just needed Kody to,
like, do all of these things forher.
And Janelle said, you know, I'm independent.
(30:45):
I don't need that. I'd see this.
And it kind of made me go like, why are you acting like that?
I don't remember why she was making that point, though.
I'm not sure what the goal of itwas.
I know it seemed like it must besomething about their
potentially their whole way of looking at furniture.
Maybe it was like the good old boys club with Kody and Janelle
and some sort of thing about that.
(31:06):
There's some sort of transition point between that and her
talking about the way Robyn is in her relationship and the
damsel in distress, what not. And yeah, it was interesting.
Janelle talks well, Janelle saysthat she likes to be independent
and that she doesn't need a man in that same way.
Robyn points out that she was more independent and not so like
that with her man in her first marriage and learned that if you
(31:28):
want a relationship to work, youneed to have that.
I don't know what she says, but I think what she's getting at is
the back and forth in the sharedI something that she's trying.
Janelle doesn't have, I think, right?
What she's trying to say is thatI'm going to make my man feel
like I need him and he's my Lordand savior and I could not live
(31:51):
without him. So that, you know, he does
everything I want him to do. And so that's what she's saying.
I mean, she's talking about how she now manipulates people
instead of being independent anddoing things on her own.
And then she kind of throws a dig at Janelle, like, but you
like to do that, so that's fine,you know, like.
Like what I did in my failed marriage is what you're doing
(32:13):
now Like. Yes, it was not.
It was. It was very subtle, but
backhanded. Like yeah, I did not enjoy.
It it definitely read that way for sure.
Meri talks about how she likes her updated living room.
They show it and it's weird because so she did get this
curved armless dentist office couch is what I'm calling it.
(32:37):
And then accompanying that on the floor, room, floor, room
floor show. Showroom floor.
Showroom floor must have been a couple chairs or something, and
I think she went ahead and got four of them, those chairs.
Yeah, there was lots of furniture in that room.
Exactly. Several seating areas.
I feel like she bought 4 chairs instead of two and then there
(32:58):
was lamps inside. There was a lot in that space
and she had it angled like coming Like nothing was directed
at the TV. They were just directed at each
other. And there's a reason I'm calling
it dental office furniture because it does look like that
to me. It doesn't look like a living
room. It looks like there's ATV and a
piano. And then the rest is like who
did this? I think the placement actually
(33:18):
worked. I was fine with the placement
and the angles. I thought it was probably the
best arrangement they could havelanded on for the space and the
furniture. But does that mean I loved it?
No, no. But I do think it was the right
layout to begin with. Kody said something like what
you're going to say that I'm right and Meri says Kody is
(33:42):
right often. And I think that's interesting.
A little trauma trigger. You know, I have a former friend
who one point said to me something like you never give me
compliments. And it was like 5 minutes after
I had complimented them on something in their apartment,
like they had these wonderful candlesticks that they made look
(34:04):
like fall and autumn and it was Halloweeny.
And then like black pillar candles in it.
And I was like, that is so cool and so cute and whatever.
And then like 5 minutes later, this caddy gay man was like, you
never compliment me. And I'm like, I just
complimented you like 5 minutes ago.
And it reminds me of when peopleare like, you never say I'm
right or like blah, blah, blah. And you could be like, you're
right regularly. Like it doesn't have to be like
(34:25):
I kind of don't like when peopleare like, oh, I'm never right,
am I? Or like you never say I'm right.
And it's not a real thing. Like this feels like it's not a
real thing. Like Meri's.
Like, I think you're right often.
I don't feel like Meri's probably telling Kody he's wrong
all the time. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'm just laughing because I liketo acknowledge anytime anyone
says I'm right, so I do this a lot.
(34:47):
You like to acknowledge anytime someone says you're right.
Yeah, like if my son tells me I'm right, I'm like, did you
hear that? He said I was right.
He said I was right. He did say you ever a teenager?
He said I know but the way you're saying this I'm like I do
that like 3 * a week so and you hear it so like sorry.
No, it's more the whole like younever.
Yeah, my example does not work because mine is about
(35:10):
compliments and this is about saying something's right.
You're right, you're right. Maybe I'm delusional, but I
don't mind telling people when they're right.
Like, you're right, you're totally right.
I don't. Think I think acknowledging when
people are right is completely. That whole hang up on the ego
bed of like, I can't acknowledge.
I can't, I can't. Like it's like, what?
But I was just hoping it didn't derail because it felt a little
bit like, are you guys going to have an issue now about being
(35:31):
right? And it was like, no, thank God.
Meri was smart enough to be like, you're right.
Often Kody and I'm like, good girl, get him to shut the fuck
up. And then we get a glimpse into
Robyn's bedroom. Robyn's Bourgeois The sacred
bedroom. I was like, where are you going?
Like what is happening? We're going into Robyn's sacred
(35:51):
bedroom. And did you have any thoughts
about Robyn's bedroom, honey? You know, I thought it was cute.
I don't know. I like the bedding.
Definitely very feminine, kind of like a little bit of an
ombre. Purple into pink into mauve, you
(36:12):
know, kind of colors on the bed and whatnot.
But I like the shelving that shepicked.
OK. And I think the dresser, like I
it looked nice enough. I thought it looked nice enough
with the exception of the oddly placed palm tree neon lamp on a
bedside table. Oh.
(36:34):
I missed that. That I did not think fit the
style at all. Right.
But other than that, I thought it was a perfectly nice room.
Wonderful. You know, I thought it looked
like a great bed to give birth on and to have your uncle, step
daddy film it. It just had that vibe.
(36:55):
It looked like a great place forthat activity.
I'm glad it was calling out to you in that way.
So I missed the lamp. I missed this neon tree lamp,
but you know. But Uncle Daddy was there in my
heart. Uncle Stepdaddy.
OK, they have a sappy moment on the couch.
What was the sappy moment about?I think I tuned it out.
(37:16):
I so tuned it out, but I think the gist I got of it was that
Kody was describing how he felt about the bedroom and he felt
that it was so sweet. Like the way Robyn did it was so
sweet. And he looked at her and he
(37:36):
said, and I just don't. I just sometimes don't think
people understand how sweet you are.
And he says this long, it's kindof like he had just done to
Janelle with the new relationship thing, but now he's
turning the other direction in something to Robyn with like
Meri in the middle. And he's like, sorry, Meri, you
know, because they're having this, like, teary moment about
(37:58):
being sweet. Sorry, Mayor.
That is what he said. Sorry, Mayor.
Yeah, some sort of thing about them being whatever they are and
it was gross, but. Being whatever they.
Are it's like what those things are?
It's like, yeah, I guess if you don't know who Robyn is, it's
not so terrible or who Kody is. What am I even saying?
(38:19):
Right. And now we're approaching the
end of the episode. Thank God this one was kind of
boring, I mean. We're never going to get that
time back, and you're never going to get this time back.
No, sorry, guys. Like this episode was like, not
a lot happened. We should have maybe
acknowledged that at the beginning.
Like there was not. Yeah, they got furniture and a
(38:42):
ring. Like, yeah, you know.
Well, all the wives take Kody todinner, what looks like a
Mexican restaurant. There was some chips on the
table there. Sure was some.
Colours on the wall, Yeah, I wasfeeling festive, I was.
Maybe a sign that Kody sold them?
Kidding. We know that's not true.
Cantina Tantina. I can't remember what the name
of that place was. Fiesta Cantina.
(39:04):
Maybe. Yeah, I don't remember Trauma
Block, but they're at this wonderful Mexican restaurant.
Meri's really wishing she could have a tequila drink, but
they're filming. So she's like, we don't drink
while we're filming because we don't drink in our cult.
And so she's like, oh, sitting next to Kody.
It's Kody at the head of the table.
Meri, Robyn, Chanel and Christine on the other side and
(39:26):
Meri starts in on some oh, we have a little gift for you.
So Meri takes out this box and starts talking about how about
the colada symbolism for their family and that they have colada
rings and gives the box to Kody.And he kind of says something
like, well, I guess it's not a mystery with this is or he.
Was so like thanks for telling me what the gift is.
(39:48):
She's so classic Meri, like looks at everyone else and she's
like, oh, sorry, I guess I didn't, I shouldn't have done
that. And they're like, it's fine.
We don't actually care, just hand them the fucking ring.
Exactly. It's so funny.
I love that. Yeah.
So she totally gave away what the ring was, which is funny.
And Kody is blown away. He's so appreciative.
He loves his wives and he loves his new ring.
(40:11):
But it didn't seem like that over the top, like he didn't
like cry about it or anything. He's like, oh wow, wow,
gorgeous. It's so cool.
Wow, like that. That was the vibe.
I I think he liked it, but this was not like an emotional like
Oh my God, I just can't believe they did this for me.
Which is interesting because he would think your 4 spouses are
(40:34):
giving you a symbolic ring of their shared unions with you,
your celestial bond. And I think he still wears it to
this day. We'll see.
He, I, I don't know, there's some ring drama later seasons
and I don't really know where all that landed, but it did seem
odd. Like I feel like if my spouse
(40:54):
gave me a symbolic ring, I maybewould because I of course I'm a
crybaby, but I probably would feel more emotional than what he
was. Just like he, he did kind of
make it seem like it was like a birthday watch.
Like, oh cool, it's like all my other watches or something, you
know? Like it wasn't a big deal.
Well, but then they had a couch moment and he was like, yeah, I
got the ring and it was so emotional.
Yeah. And it was like, OK, yeah.
(41:14):
It was so emotional. Yeah, that's why I, I, I
remember being like, wow, Kody is blown away.
Right. No, it was not that, No SO.
And then we were trying to see aclose up.
We actually rewound. So you'll notice when you're
listening to us on this show, wewatch it once and then we
record. So when I'm asking, do you know
what happened there? I'm often times like I don't
know what happened there. And same with Ali, like we're
(41:38):
we're just, we're doing the bestwe can everybody.
So this time we actually did rewind to try to get a better
look at the ring because they show it from an over the
shoulder perspective, but the footage is not in focus and the
ring is golden, shiny and diamonds.
When it's under like the neon lights of a restaurant, you
know, like it's not, the lighting ain't working for us to
(42:00):
see anything. And they certainly didn't think.
Just take a separate shot of it afterwards, God forbid.
So which would have been nice tosee what the ring actually
looked like, but from the blurryfreeze frame that we could get,
it did look it appeared to be allegedly.
It appeared that there were fourdiamonds at the top where there
(42:20):
were the three, the row of threeoriginally, and that the heart
was still just a heart. Now that's what I saw through my
squinty, elderly eyes. And I think you're likely
accurate. I couldn't distinguish enough of
anything to tell you what I think I saw.
It was interesting, but I guess overall we're just glad if there
(42:47):
was not a diamond in the center of that heart, of that heart,
that that was a smart choice. So.
The symbolism on something like that is insane.
Like whatever. So glad that didn't happen or I
wish it would have happened. Maybe that would have speed some
things along, some drama. It probably would have that
would they would have never gotten over that if Robyn would
have like pushed and pushed and pushed for that.
(43:09):
You guys, I just don't think thering is going to look good
enough if we don't put it in thecenter of you guys.
It's not going to be balanced. I don't think that's the right
vibe we're going for. I think if we really want to get
this ring for him, it has to be perfect.
And the only way that it's goingto be perfect is if there is one
diamond in the center of that heart and the three above it.
I don't. Why are you not understanding
this with me? Even she said when they were
initially talking about it, likeit's for the wife who's with him
(43:31):
at the moment or something. It's like, what if he's not with
a wife? Yeah, well, Robyn's like, well,
he's with me all the time anyway.
Stupid bitch. Everybody.
Everybody hates Robyn. Rightfully so.
Mustard seed and shit stain. Do you have a mustard seed
ready, honey? Is your frontal lobe developed
enough where you can give us a mustard?
Seed. Just barely.
Robyn, just barely. Mustard seed.
(43:54):
Oh goodness. I'm going to go out on a limb
here. And it's Theo.
Oh, yes, yeah. OK, OK.
My mustard seed is for Theo. He is a good, He's a great
character. Yes, good dude.
Liked it. Liked it?
You agreed that shopping with four women would be a terrible
experience. And he as a salesman man, he
(44:16):
read that room and he delivered.He they all left with furniture.
It was beautiful. It was a beautiful thing.
So props Theo, if you're out there.
I I'm going to give my mustard seed to Janelle because even
though she bought furniture thatobviously came as a set and then
literally just put it in the most obvious places that you
(44:39):
would when you were like 18 and never put furniture anywhere, it
was a good step for her to do so.
She said this is the most decorated a place has ever been
of mine. And they joked about how
Christine had always decorated her places.
Well, I guess that probably meant just the compound, and
that was pretty sparse. Like for her to have actual
things, even if it was a lamp made out of boots, it was a
(45:02):
thing. It was cute.
It was cute. You know, I had shitty furniture
that was not far off from that, but it was, you know, African
themed, so. I remember your African themed
furniture. Oh my God.
No, it did not all come as a set.
To be super clear, I did piece it together which makes it a
little worse. Curated with care.
(45:24):
That's what your African basement was like.
Yeah, I thought there's care in this space there.
You go there you go. Well, we were also drunk
Anytime. We were down there.
I felt a lot of care, I felt a lot of things.
We did not hang out down there sober.
No, I don't think I was ever in that basement sober.
Oh, maybe when we moved you out and that was probably it.
And even then, I was probably onmy way out of sober.
(45:44):
So yes, yes, Amen 100. We definitely were not sober
when we moved out of that home. There's a tower.
Oh, there's one. Tower with beer cans.
It was like a Christmas tree of beer cans.
And it wasn't Christmas. You had to drink X amount of
beers and move X amount of things before you.
(46:05):
Could yes, I forgot about that. There is photo evidence of.
This there it is. It exists it.
Exists. That's funny.
Blast from the past. Oh my gosh.
Shit stain. Oh shit stain.
I think it's going to be one of the obvious.
I'm like, you pick one, I'll pick the other.
I'll go with Robyn. OK, Robyn.
Yes, excellent, excellent. Yeah, now I wanted to give her a
(46:27):
little bit of grace for the beginning of the episode because
obviously they had a rough start, but thank goodness
everything was OK. So now I feel like I can still
deliver the shit stain to her. And the reason I'm going to
deliver the shit stain is because I think she had some
backhanded shit there today. I think she had some backhanded
shit. There was the Meri comment.
What was the Meri one? The what was?
(46:50):
She's a complicated woman. Oh, that.
She's a complicated woman and I don't think she was trying to be
nice there. There was the Janelle 1.
I don't think she dogged Christine at all this episode.
I didn't hear her putting Christine down directly.
No, but I just, you know, I justdon't like her.
Yeah, excellent shit stain for Robyn.
I'm giving my shit stain to Kodyfor all of the obvious reasons.
(47:14):
One that I would point out and highlight was his non reaction
to the ring. It felt a bit like, yeah, it
just was kind of a nothing burger.
And that was a little disappointing considering that,
well, you know, and now I don't know if it was editing why they
just threw in that they went to a jeweler and like picked it out
and then that was that. Like maybe they downplayed it
with the editing because I wouldthink that if 4 wives are going
(47:35):
in together on getting a ring, it would be more sentimental
than like a throwaway B or C line storyline of an episode.
It didn't feel like much of anything.
And I think that was probably because of Kody.
They probably didn't have much to work with anyway.
I wonder if there was anything else about Kody that I really
hated this episode. I'm trying to think, too.
The ring reaction really just threw me off because, yeah, he
(47:59):
said again. We're saying the words, yeah,
but the actions don't match that.
No, he was blown away. And then I don't.
I don't know if he had any otherbad moments this episode,
though. Just the furniture, picking out
stuff again. It was kind of boring.
Really. Pushing a couch on Meri that was
not a merry couch. But you know, whatever, I guess
(48:19):
when you feel like you can get away with something.
And the other women maybe didn'twant his opinion about things
but he agreed with you. And also, I don't know, he's
just an idiot. Kody gets a shit stain
sometimes. There's not even a reason
needed. There you go.
There you go. Yeah, Like I said, it was they
didn't do a lot. There wasn't a lot of big
controversy, but it was kind of boring.
(48:40):
Our keep sweet moment this week comes to us from Apple Podcast.
A review from Evan 96, EV. AN-96.
So I'm thinking that's Evan 96. Not sure.
Evan Yvonne. Evan I.
Would go with Evan, yeah. Evan, I don't know why I'm
trying to make it. Like honestly, this is the most
simple username. You read this entire thing and I
(49:03):
think you were right with Evan 96, I think.
Evan 96I apologize for overcomplicating your username,
particularly with some of our other ones that didn't roll off
the tongue. Tammy Tammy 2 Tang Titty Titty
Bang Bang. Titty titty Bang Bang oh titty
titty Bang Bang keep those inside that titty coat titty
titty Bang Bang well Evan 96 says we are so much fun.
(49:27):
You 2 are great and I look forward to every week.
Hilarious. That's so sweet.
Oh my God, isn't. That nice.
I can't believe people out therein the world say things like
that, like. You look forward to us every
week. That's very, very nice.
And sometimes I feel a little weird reading them out loud
because I'm like, oh, that one didn't actually hit me as a
(49:48):
person until I read it. And then I was like, oh, that is
actually really nice. That's.
So nice. We can't believe that people
listen to this. Yeah.
I mean, we're glad, super appreciative.
We are glad. We are glad.
So just a quick reminder, end ofepisode, we are going to be
doing season 20 recaps on Patreon.
We will be plugging that link coming up as the new season
(50:10):
approaches. So don't worry, you will see it
from us. You will hear about it from us.
Just getting you a heads up thatwe are going to be doing that.
Anything. Oh my gosh, we recap the whole
trailer for season 20. So we recap the entire trailer,
which I'm sure is just great foreveryone to hear, but you should
check that out because it's a little bonkers.
(50:31):
All right, anything else you'd like the world to know, Ali this
week? You know what?
Just stay safe everybody, right?Literally try to stay sane.
If even listening to this show is part of your routine to get
out of the world that's happening, just know that we as
hosts are doing the same thing. We are doing this to escape the
(50:51):
world that has happened. That's why we're doing it, Yes.
We're like, we can't. We're just going to hide in my
basement. Thank you for being in the safe
space with us. Hopefully we keep it safe enough
for you. Take care and God bless.
Bye bye.
