so we are on Sister Wive season six, episode fifteen,
entitled While the Wives are Away Take it Away, Beatrice. Well,
(02:32):
we start the.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Episode with the stupid fucking segment about everybody getting ready
to go do a five K.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I loved this segment. This was probably the best segment
of the whole episode.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
No, yeah, it is not the best segment because.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You got to see Robin and you got to see Janelle.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, Janelle looked great. Janelle's the one that wants to
do the five K, and she's kind of getting everybody
else to try and be involved. Although I think Christine's like,
I'm not going to do a five K.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
No, she did it with Michelty, did she?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
They both Mary. Mary was like absolutely not not doing it.
Robin does it? It got it back back. I've got
this cold story, couldn't possibly do it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Cody was blowing my back out, so I couldn't do
the five K. But she makes some shirts before the
family for the five K, and she designed them. They're
horribly designed.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
My personal my sister wife closely designed.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Ugly, horrible, ugly designs. And she gets the shirts in
very last minute. She brings it over to Janelle's house
and she's like, Jane, I'm so worried because.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It's an EXL.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't know if your fat ass can fit into
this EXL, but I really hope it does. I'm so sorry.
I mustn't accidentally on a smaller side.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Basically, that is absolutely what it was giving. That's absolutely
what I think she did. I think she did it
on purpose. Yeah, I think on some level she knows
that Janelle is the queen yes, and she's rocking that
body Addie Audi. Yeah, she's got curves for days on me.
And she knows the Cody's watching. Yeah, she knows. There's
(04:15):
a little bit of a Las Vegas renaissance happening over
at Janelle's house, and so she's like, let me just
get this small little baby shirt and Janelle won't be
able to wear it, and everybody else will wear it
because we're in the actual family. Yeah, she's not. She
can't even run a five case. She's gonna walk the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, Janelle's plus size, she has to do this five K.
Let's see if an EXL fitter, and joke's on you, Robin.
She Janelle fits into the EXEL looks beautiful and ugly
like all of.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Her curves, hour glass figure, beautiful, very beautiful, way pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And Robin's bitter about it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
She's like, oh, that's great. I'm so glad it worked out.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh darn, I was hoping you would like rip the
shirt up or something, but no. Then they go and
run the k kind of may walk it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, I mean, let's be real, because Janelle tells us
that just a year previous that she couldn't even walk
a mile and now she's gonna run walk three miles
and that's fantastic. And Cody, being the best husband ever,
is like, I'm gonna do it too, I'm gonna do
this with you. I'm here to support you. And then
as soon as they get there, he's off and running,
(05:24):
leaving her in the dust.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Ditches her because he's got his groove or what.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Got my own rhythm? I got my own pace. I've
got to establish my pace because he's so competitive about
it and sorry if you can't keep up, sorry about it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Ditches Janelle at the back of the lamb with her
personal trainer. But she does the five k and so
does Cody, and it's a big accomplishment for Janelle, specifically
because Janelle couldn't walk like a mile more than a
mile last year or something like that, and so I
am happy about that. It was just kind of like
a whatever, nothing burger, besides the shirt thang where Robin's
(06:01):
totally fat shaming.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well and the fact that Cody just abandons her like
and doesn't give a shit at all. And I was
just on Instagram today I almost sent it to you.
I was watching this guy talk about this footage of
a wife in an airport and she's filming her husband,
who has gotten on the moving walkway, doesn't even know
that she's like half a mile behind him, and he's
(06:24):
just trucking to the gate and does not give a
shit that she's not with him, doesn't know where she is,
and doesn't care. And the guy was actually like, Ladies,
if you're married to a guy like this, divorce him.
He does not give a fuck about you. It is
in our nature as men to protect women, to make
sure these women are okay, that they are where they
(06:46):
need to be. And if your man is walking a
half a mile ahead of you and doesn't even know
where you are, this man does not care about you fundamentally.
And I thought it was a very timely reel to
watch because here's Cody fucking Brown like half a mile
up setting his it's about my rhythm and Janelle. This
is about Janelle. Janelle is just all the way in
the back with her boys. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I'm like giggling about it, not because it's funny, but
like just because it's like, Wow, I can't believe these
women like settle for men like that, men that just
completely abandon them in the airport. We're in the five
k They're just walking way ahead.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
They're like, pace out, bitch, You're not even thinking about you.
You don't even register in his consciousness. It's all about him.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That's crazy to me, Like, I'm somebody who naturally walks
really really fast. And right in the beginning when I
started dating your daughter, she's like, can you slow the
fuck ye down because I didn't realize I was walking
a little bit ahead of her.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And I'm like, oh, okay, but I listen.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm like, oh, okay, yes, I'll walk slowly with you.
And I don't give a shit. It's crazy to me
that people settle for that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, but here we are.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And then the rest of the episode kind of bobs
back and forth between the wives going to San Francisco
because they need some bonding time because all of them
hate each other. Yeah, so they're gonna go to San
Francisco and pretend like they're friends. Meanwhile, they're going to
leave Cody at home with all of the kids by
himself for like three or four days or something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yes. Now, one of the reasons that the wives are
also saying that they're going to San Francisco is so
that they can all find or source dresses for the upcomings.
So stupid, ain't shit commitment ceremony that nobody cares about,
especially Janelle, Like they want to find dresses and so
they're going to go to these various and sundry boutiques
and places so that they can find those dresses. But yes,
(08:33):
Cody is back in Vegas, and we get these scenes
of him trying to manage all the kids when really
it's Aspen uh huh and Mchalte and Leon and Logan's
not there. Although Logan didn't show up because he's parentified
the real parents all of these kids because Cody can't
(08:55):
do it on his own.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And I mean, of course not. He's got like fourteen
kids like one parent. Yeah, it's a lot, and Cody
is a bit like whatever. He just shows up for
his required nights.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And get the require families. I'm gonna cook all of
our food for the entire week.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That was so sad, stupid, that was so dumb. I'm good.
I don't want to have to cook every single night
because I'm lazy, So I'm just gonna grill everything and
we're just gonna eat three dail grilled fucking chicken wings
and steak that are like barely says it. So anyway,
why Cody, Well, Cody is like grilling all of the
food for the entire week. It's pandemonium. Poor little Isabelle
(09:37):
is like running around in the cold de sac and
she like stubs her.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Toe because nobody sought to put shoes on her.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, and no parent is like watching the kids and
the could de sac, so they're just running them up.
She comes in with her fucking busted up toe, her
dirty ass feet, and Cody has to leave the grill
go ten to her steaks.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I mean, it's one thing if it's chicken, it's like
some wings. But like he left the steaks, thick gas steaks.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yep, thick gas steaks.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Think of that five prices girl? How much money?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I was like, that is so much money you're leaving
on the girl.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I was hurting. I'm like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Idiot? But he's band dad.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
He's going to take care of Isabelle's toe. He cleans
it off in the bathtub and puts a bandit on
it and everything, and then he realizes he burns the
fucking steaks. Like an idiot, like an idiot. And then
we go over to San Francisco where their wives arrive,
and apparently Mary's from the Bay Area. I didn't I
did not know that either, which I'm like, oh, okay,
(10:39):
interesting they got Mormons in.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
The Bay Area I know.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm like, huh, wow, when did you live there? But
they're back in the Bay Area. They go to their hotel.
Apparently Robin had to bring King Solomon with her because
she's still breastfeeding him or something. And then we start
going shopping.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, Robin's friend Kendra was that? Who that was? That
was Kendra bitch oh that they had her name on
the televiszone And I'm like, is that the same Kendra
who was involved with the Merry Catfish? I think? Who
was getting information, who knew that the catfish was happening
and was feeding information about the cat fishing girl back
(11:19):
to Robin who was telling Cody. Is that the same
Kendra girl? I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh my god, because I'm watching this, I'm like, who's Candra? Like,
I don't care about kids.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So Kendra's Robin's friend and she's very fashionable, not that
you know it by looking at her. So Kendra shows
up to take it to squire them about to various
boutiques and specialty shops so that they can find a dress.
And the first shop that they go to is for
straight sizes, so there's no plus sizes. And three out
(11:50):
of the four women, well three out of the five
women because Kendra's big, I can't wear any of these clothes.
So the only person who can try on the dresses,
model the dress, or purchase the dresses, well that would
be Robin and her skinny ass.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Dude, that was crazy, wasn't it. Like could you imagine
just like watching her for hours, probably just trying on
dress after dress after.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Modeling it for the camera, and she's like, no, I'll
show you what the dresses look like, and then maybe
if they can alter them and expand them way out
to tent like proportions, maybe then you can have the
dress for yourself, but I'll model them first.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Alert and like she has the goal to show her
calves and her ankles so much. Yeah, but like so
much skin, so naughty, And then we have a whole
conversation about like modesty and this is why they have
to wear their cameusols over a long sleeve shirt because
they don't want to show any kind of skin because
(12:49):
they're pure women. We have Robin, this little hoe over
here trying on knee length dresses, and San.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Francis when she came out in that hot pink dress,
that was awful. I thought it was pretty, but I thought,
that's Janelle's color, bitch, that is not your colors, Queen
Janelle's color. That like, none of these dresses are going
to fit the other three wives. I felt like it
(13:16):
was kind of like a humiliation ritual, just another attempt
to show these fat ladies that they're fat and that
Robin's thin and that she's the Favorite's like, this is
really set. And then they go to the plus size
store and the owner of the plus size store is like,
I'm sorry, Robin, but we don't serve your kind here.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, Robin asked like, is there anything I can try
on here?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Just like, no, you're thin. This is for fatties and stuff.
It's for plus sized people. And I was just like
really embarrassing. I was cringing as a plus size person
in my mind, in my mind, I'm a plus sized
Paton and I'm just like that is so embarrassing. And
then they start trotting these women. I know I'm skipping ahead.
They start trotting these plus size Oh she wives out
(14:01):
in like sacks awful multi colored sacks yep, that are
so terrible and look awful on each one of them.
And Robin's just sitting back. They're like, oh, yeah, he
loves it. Looks so pretty. Yep, Janelle, you should wear that. Yeah,
wear that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
You should wear the ugly frumpy dress that gives you
no shape at all.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
So that way you look ugly compared.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
To me because I'm a goddesss It's like so ridiculous.
And also the other thing I'm thinking of is like,
weren't you guys like just struggling financially, like just a
couple of weeks ago or whatever, and like you've sunk
all this money into my sister wives closet and everything,
and then you're gonna go to San Francisco and act
like you guys are some dalist celebrities going to shop
(14:43):
right in San Francis downtown, San France paying for it,
I guess, But they don't even buy any dresses. So
they're going and trying on all these dresses wasting everybody's time.
And then they go to a fabric store to go
and see if they can customize their wedding or commitment
ceremony dresses. And I don't remember anything about the commitment ceremony.
(15:05):
I don't know if I've ever seen those episodes, But
those aren't the brown sack dresses, right, I don't think so, Robin.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I think that they were dressed very badly, and
I think if I recall correctly, definitely correct me if
I'm wrong. I think they have some sort of a
seamstress that comes in and sews their dresses, and they
are absolute dogshit. They are like sacks. They are so terribleso,
Like whatever fabric they're gonna get in this episode is
(15:34):
going to be turned into I think, like hor horrendous
dresses by this seamstress who like doesn't know how to sew,
and it's going to be great, It's going to be fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Crazy to me, why didn't Mary just make everybody's dresses.
She made every all the kids's pajamas and stuff every
single year.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I don't know. But then there's Robin like yeah, and
like Kandra's a designers, like she's at the fabric store,
just sketching this great dress that I wear, and like
it's just a color. It's a theme. Like we're all
gonna have the same color theme, but like we'll have
different dresses. I eat, mine's gonna be sexy and awesome, right,
and they're gonna wear tents.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Basically want and then they like leave with nothing, and
then they go to dinner at some point at some
like loud restaurant, irish pub. Yeah, oh that's right. Yeah,
and then they go and try.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Beer and like they're all scandalized by it a little bit.
But Robin won't have any. She won't even try so
pure pure more breastfeeding, Oh they still do it. If
I'm gonna baby and I'm the fertile one, what everyone
who can still have children? Yeah, so I can't have
any ale.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Right, But all the other wives try the smallest SIPs
known to man kind of all these little beers or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And Janelle, my queen, she's like, that tastes great.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I like it a lot. And I don't care if
Cody pears that I'm drinking, because he doesn't control me, bitch.
I can do whatever I want. Furthermore, he doesn't even
try it because he already knows. Don't try it with me.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And did you see how Robin looked at her when
she said that, Like, Robin looked like so judgmental.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
She said something like, well, but he's our husband, and
like he might have an opinion about it, and Janelle's like,
what opinion? I don't care. I do what I want.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't give a shit, And like, from what Janelle's
saying is very base, like very benign. To me, it
was like, I'm not gonna let a man tell me
what to do. But you know, for a show that
Robin took that and spun it, took Cody like Janelle
doesn't respect him, doesn't respect him as her husband.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
She was drinking, she was alcohol.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Didn't tell you that she was drinking alcohol, Like you know,
Robin took that and went back to Cody with it.
But whatever. And then at the Irish pub, this is
where Cody decides to call each of the wives and
he starts with Christine first, and this is where we
had that famous scene of Robin with her hard ass job.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's a big joh honey, he is so mad. It
is hard. It's big with your mouth. It's straight. Yep,
it's hard to miss. It is so hard right on
her face. She is so mad, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And so all the wives talk about how awkward it
is to like have a conversation with Cody in front
of all the other wives, and how a phone call
should be private and that they shouldn't be in front
of all the other wives. All the other wives are
kella awkward, except for Robin, who seems really mad because
Cody didn't call her first or something. But it was
(18:32):
just really weird to me. I'm just like again, like,
you know that he's fucking each and every one of you.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
He's gdually whole head in between all y'all's legs, Yeah,
doing the cunny lingu. And as soon as he's done
with the cunny lingu with you, he goes to do
the cuney lingo with her. But you guys, that's why
y'all have cold source and you guys can't talk. You
can't pretend that you're all married to the same person.
You gotta have a hard john and sit with your
(18:59):
leaning back. I can't believe the audacity.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's so insane to me. But anyway, I think. In
the conversation with Christine, this is where Cody starts to
tell her about everything.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's going on with all of the kids.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Isabelle stubbed her toe and I burned all the steaks.
Oh and by the way, like truly.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's not long for this world. She's literally fading out
like a little candle.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Truly's just got the flu and she is extremely lethargic.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
She's like doubled over on the floor.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Pale, Like, what the fuck are we doing? Coach, She's like, yeah,
I don't know, Like she seems like, okay, it seems
like the flu or something, but she doesn't have a fever.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's fine. I'm a dad, Yeah, and I would know
if it were bad, so it's okay, don't worry about it. Meanwhile,
Panta truly just slumped over on the floor. And then
my little baby, Okay, I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And I looked up what happened her. She was in
kidney feeling, I know, and she had to be on dialysis.
She was in the hospital for eleven days.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Als, Yes, how'd she get in kidney failure? She was
extremely hydrated, so nobody's given her water.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I guess should juice box. Yeah, I guess she was
extremely dehydrated. That's why she went cross high. We see
that in the preview for the next episode, so cross eyed,
and then she ended up in kidney failure, was on
dialysis for eleven freaking days. Yeah, I'm mad at.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The way I would come skipping home with brass knuckles
to beat my husband.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
She's three years old at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
How do you miss the signs that this kid is
dehydrated and needs some water or.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Something like what the hell?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh, she's got the flow though, Okay, we he's depending
on Aspen and the other older kids right to be
able to take care of this, and so he doesn't
feel like he really needs to monitor and watch these
little ones. Crazy to me, which is the real story,
is like he's not an actual parent and he's not
an actual dad. He just outsources that to everybody else.
So he misses the fact that she's in kidney failure.
(20:56):
It's insane to me. Can we backtrack a second, Yeah,
because there was a conversation that happened on the couch
between the four wives and Mary was saying something like, yeah,
I mean, I guess it's fine that we're going to
the Bay Area. Yeah, I mean, I know that we're
doing it for the commitment ceremony, but I don't really
understand why we're having a commitment ceremony because I don't
(21:18):
know what the vision is. I don't know what the
fuck she was saying.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It was something like that, like, my heart's not in it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
My heart's not in what the commitment ceremony, the family,
my heart's not in the trip. I don't really want
to bond with these women because I don't believe in it.
Like she was kind of a Debbie downer about the
whole thing, and I didn't understand what the problem was,
did you? No.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I think Mary is the kind of person that because
she doesn't like outwardly express her feelings like, Hey, I'm
feeling really lonely because Leon's leaving the house and I'm
gonna be an empty nester and Cody's not fucking me anymore,
and I feel like I have no friends, Like instead
of saying that with her full chest, she's super passive, aggressive,
and like I I think she takes it out on
(22:01):
everybody else. So it's like, well, I just don't feel
connected to all of these women, and I don't feel
like my heart's in this commitment s there me, like,
what's the fucking point instead of just expressing like how
you actually feel like you want to shit on everything else.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
So I'm wondering if things in Mary's life are starting
to quiet down because Leon's about to leave and everybody's
got their own place, and now it's becoming glaringly obvious
that she is just not happy, and instead of like
addressing that and trying to have healthy conversations, she's sending
up these little flares to sort of indicate, yeah, I
(22:36):
know this is important for you guys. You guys want
to bond with each other, but like, I don't know
if I believe in that or that we could even
be connected. It's like this little passive, aggressive flair that
she's sending up that she's profoundly unhappy. And of course,
in a couple of years, we are going to get
Kendra and Robin and Cody and Mary with a banana
in her mouth, in a tub talking to a woman
(22:57):
who's pretended to be a man falling in love with
this guy. And I feel like this is where it
all begins. Of course it begins before this, because I
don't know if they were ever happy. I think they
were always pretty dysfunctional. But it was so busy yet
that Mary really didn't have the space to notice it.
But here we're noticing it as soon as we get
(23:18):
into the Call to Sack. Everybody's noticing it.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Right, And she seems so resistant to like try and
get along with all of them, Like at this point,
we know her and Robin are the only close ones. Like,
she does not like Christine, she does not like Janelle.
They've had their falling outs from the past, and they've
just been tolerating each other up to this point. But
like I can notice, like there was some comment about
(23:41):
like Christine wearing leggings as pants or something, and like
Mary' says something really bitchy, like I would never be
got dead wearing pants like leggings as pants. I'm just
not that kind of person.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
And then she goes on to sell Lula roue Yes,
which is all leggings exactly. It it's so like unnecessarily
mean and judgmental.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It's super judgmental, and it's like I feel like Christine
in these earlier seasons, even though she is a bit
much and she's a bit annoying and MCKELTI, like she does.
I feel like she's trying really hard to like be
okay and like be okay with her failing marriage, like
be okay with this new wife, Robin, who has obviously
(24:21):
become Cody's favorite. Like, I feel like she's really trying
to toe the line, trying to be friends with Robin.
She's trying to be nice to everybody, and like Mary
is just negative.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
She's becoming a problem. Yes. And then there's Janelle and
she's just like I don't really need all that. No,
I'm like, I'm gonna write and stuff. I got my place, yep,
but I have my own thing that I'm doing and happy.
But Mary not happy, not happy at all. No, it's
crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And then that was pretty much it. Like Cody calls
each one of the wives, it's hella awkward at the
Irish Pub, Robin's super mad about it. Once we get
to Robin's phone call, she's like hiding in the core
her behind the pub, like.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Or like, just take your phone to the bathroom and
talk to you. Why didn't they do that from the beginning.
I don't understand. I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
You have on the phone. I love Meanwhile, all the
other wives are getting like, you know, updates on what's
going on, updates on the.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Bills, the kid happening, and everybody's eating charcoal steak.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, burned all the steaks that I spent a bunch
of money on. And then the wives return and Truly
immediately wants Christine. Aspen debriefs Christine and I think all
of the rest of the moms of like everything that's happened,
because Aspen was the real parent the last three days.
And Aspen tells Christine that Truly was just bawling for
(25:49):
her mom pretty much the last like day and a half.
The three year old baby. She wants her mom, and
she's in pain, obviously, and you can see it.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
She looks really sick.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And then the wives tell Cody about the trip, how
they didn't buy any dresses, and Cody's like, wasn't that
the whole point of you going to this TLC funded
San Francisco trip? And Christine's like, well, but we like
bonded though, a little bit, did you Are you sure
about that?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No? Are you sure about that?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
And then Janelle's like, I'm glad to be home because
at least we're all together and I can go back
to my job away from everybody else, right, right, And
then we have the preview for the next episode, and
I think the next two episodes are going to be
kind of heavy because I think it's all about Truly's
health issues.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And then when dying, right, I think, so, I think
Win's gonna be dying here shortly.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, but and then we have Leon's last day before university.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I literally don't care, and I'm snory.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I don't give a shit. Yeah, I care more about
Truly and everything else.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Going on in the family. And doesn't the lore state
that Christine becomes very unhappy with Cody for being at
the very least unobservant of the fact that Truly is
that deathly ill like and the way they're framing it,
like the whole family's praying for her, and somebody's like, yeah,
we just don't know if she's gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well because she was super sick. She was in kidney
failure at three, so it is kind of a miracle
that she was able to pull out of that and everything.
But yeah, I've seen various posts on the reddits and
the instagrams talking about that because I think Christine does
express like some resentment over Cody not being attentive over
(27:33):
the kids and everything, and Cody being like, what wasn't
my fault? And a lot of people actually agree with
Cody a little bit because the thing with kids it
is like they're okay until they're not right and they
crash really hard, and like kids can mask their pain
really well. And like Cody also was by himself with
fifteen other No, he.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Wasn't though, and that's the problem. And I think I've
seen this framed as Christine's touring test. Is that what
it's called when the AI becomes aware of itself. So
it's like the moment she becomes aware of like, oh,
this is really fucked up though, like she's been unhappy too,
but like this is the moment of clarity and an
epiphany for her, Like, oh, he sucks. Sucks though, because
(28:16):
if he had been present, truly and it wasn't Aspen
and michel T and Logan and all the other kids,
he might have been able to notice that there was something.
I mean, I can notice just seeing her slumped over.
Then I get it that there's no fever, and that's
a good predictor. But like, if it had been me,
I'd have been like, there's some very wrong with her.
(28:36):
I'm going to take her at least to the walking
clinic and have a doctor have a look and see
what's going on. So like, he's not present enough to
even make that call. Yeah, that's the problem, and that's
Christine's like, Okay, it's one thing if you don't give
a fuck about me, but it's quite another if you
dote on King Solomon and all of Robin's kids and
(28:57):
you miss the fact that my child is in the
process of exiting the world and thoughts of you and
the horse that you rode in on.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And that's a great point. I think where people come
from on Reddit is like you can't blame like one
parent or the other for not noticing those kinds of things.
But at the same time, it's like, yeah, Gody, you're
not present enough and you're not like emotionally connected enough
to your kids to be able to pick up on that.
Because to him, he's looking at it like, oh, Okham's razor,
(29:25):
it's probably just the flu.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Or something like whatever. She'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
But it's like, no, if you were emotionally tuned in
and connected to your kid, you would know. I feel
like parents who are connected to their kids would be like,
there's something physically wrong with it.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Did you sleep there that night? It sounds like Aspen
slept there that night. It sounds like Michelti was there
that night, right, Why weren't you there with truly so
like and he's trying to play it off like, well,
I'm a dad, like I would know if something was
truly wrong. It's okay, there's no fever, but like, you
weren't even really there. And that's where Christine, if I'm Christine,
I'm like, so you didn't sleep in the same bedies
(30:00):
you bring her into your bed and sleep with her
and watch her all night? Like what?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah? Like why were the elder teenagers responsible for the
little kids in the family, Like why didn't Cody have
all of the little kids from each family with him.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
In his big bed specifically like have a slumber party, right.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
And then the elder teenagers take care of the older
kids like the nine and ten.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Because he doesn't. I think he cares, but I think
he depends so much on everybody else and delegating all
of that to somebody else that he's just not thinking
and so for me, if I'm Christine, like that would
be the moment I'm just like mmmmmmmm untenable marital situation, bitch.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, And that's usually what happens, like in a marriage
when there's a kid that ends up like really sick
or dies or whatever, like, it can put a lot
of strain on the marriage because of like resentment issues
and stuff. Even Barry and Kim Plath had that issue
when their youngest their younger boy Joshua died, Like Barry
(30:59):
talked about how he had to deal with resentment over
Kim of how she handled that situation. So of course,
and I think if I remember correctly, this is where
Cody starts becoming really bitter towards Christine because he feels
like she blamed him one hundred percent for this thing
that happened with Truly, and it's again speaks to his
narcissism of not being able to take any kind of
(31:20):
ownership or accountability for the fact that he was negligent
and didn't pay attention to Truly and her declining health status,
Like it's crazy to.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Me and like if he wanted to, he would is what.
Yet we often say about dudes and if you fast
forward to Janelle and the big Christmas fight, that was
because she finally became aware of the impact it was
having on her kids and the fact that he was
straight up calling out her boys and being antagon like
(31:52):
he had to be so antagonistic toward her children for
her to even make the decision like, yeah, this isn't
worth it, I don't want this anymore. Yeah, it's like
this moment with a woman where like, I can put
up with a lot of neglect of myself, my person,
this and that, Like I can suffer for it if
I've got kids, but the moment it is directed toward them,
or if there's evidence that you're neglectful or even abusive,
(32:15):
that's it. I can't come back from that. And that's
the thing with women. I don't even know if men
can understand it. But like with women, you hit a wall.
You try for a very long time, and we see Christine,
You're right, she's trying, she's being conciliatory, she's trying to
make it work with Robin, she's trying to be a
good sister wife. But then we hit that fucking wall
and there is absolutely now going back from that. I
(32:35):
know she tries. I know they go to Galveston. I
know they make a caaren like a rock structure. I know,
I know all of that. But I think at this
point this is the beginning of the end for Christine's heart.
It starts to break right here at the foundation is
not steady anymore. And interestingly, it's happening with Mary too,
just in a very different way. She's also being profoundly neglected.
(32:57):
And then Janelle is as well. But she's comfortable. And
that's the thing about a Taurus woman, Like, if I'm comfortable,
it covers a multitude of sins, right, But when I
start to become uncomfortable, like because my kids are crying, Yeah,
now I'm I'm getting up out of the bed and
I'm good in my breast knuckles, right, it's about to
go down.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's Jane well.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
And Janelle seems like the kind of person too where
she's like very easy going, like you don't have to
do a lot no, And like then it just became
where Cody didn't do anything. And then it's like, Okay,
how can I even tolerate this now when it's affecting
the kids. But yeah, this this was concerning to me,
I felt really bad for Dreulie. I had to look
up like what happened to her because I couldn't remember exactly,
(33:38):
and so I'm sorry for spoiling it, but like I
just felt I think.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
They all know she's alive. We just watched season nineteen.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
But like if people haven't watched season six, but it's like,
you know, I just felt bad watching little truly be
physibly sick. She's three and all bald and cute.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
And she's so sick, wispy little tendrils. That's how I
was a baby. I was bald to four, so adorable.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, poor baby.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So Cody ain't shit, Cody's piece of shit. He's a
bad dad.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Oh my god, fat shaming.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Completely passively the entire episode. Such a mean girl very much.
So wow, is there anything else that we need to
say to these beautiful raccoons before we get up on

so we are on Sister Wive season six, episode fifteen,
entitled While the Wives are Away Take it Away, Beatrice. Well,
(02:32):
we start the.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Episode with the stupid fucking segment about everybody getting ready
to go do a five K.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I loved this segment. This was probably the best segment
of the whole episode.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
No, yeah, it is not the best segment because.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You got to see Robin and you got to see Janelle.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, Janelle looked great. Janelle's the one that wants to
do the five K, and she's kind of getting everybody
else to try and be involved. Although I think Christine's like,
I'm not going to do a five K.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
No, she did it with Michelty, did she?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
They both Mary. Mary was like absolutely not not doing it.
Robin does it? It got it back back. I've got
this cold story, couldn't possibly do it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Cody was blowing my back out, so I couldn't do
the five K. But she makes some shirts before the
family for the five K, and she designed them. They're
horribly designed.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
My personal my sister wife closely designed.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Ugly, horrible, ugly designs. And she gets the shirts in
very last minute. She brings it over to Janelle's house
and she's like, Jane, I'm so worried because.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It's an EXL.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't know if your fat ass can fit into
this EXL, but I really hope it does. I'm so sorry.
I mustn't accidentally on a smaller side.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Basically, that is absolutely what it was giving. That's absolutely
what I think she did. I think she did it
on purpose. Yeah, I think on some level she knows
that Janelle is the queen yes, and she's rocking that
body Addie Audi. Yeah, she's got curves for days on me.
And she knows the Cody's watching. Yeah, she knows. There's
(04:15):
a little bit of a Las Vegas renaissance happening over
at Janelle's house, and so she's like, let me just
get this small little baby shirt and Janelle won't be
able to wear it, and everybody else will wear it
because we're in the actual family. Yeah, she's not. She
can't even run a five case. She's gonna walk the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, Janelle's plus size, she has to do this five K.
Let's see if an EXL fitter, and joke's on you, Robin.
She Janelle fits into the EXEL looks beautiful and ugly
like all of.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Her curves, hour glass figure, beautiful, very beautiful, way pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And Robin's bitter about it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
She's like, oh, that's great. I'm so glad it worked out.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh darn, I was hoping you would like rip the
shirt up or something, but no. Then they go and
run the k kind of may walk it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, I mean, let's be real, because Janelle tells us
that just a year previous that she couldn't even walk
a mile and now she's gonna run walk three miles
and that's fantastic. And Cody, being the best husband ever,
is like, I'm gonna do it too, I'm gonna do
this with you. I'm here to support you. And then
as soon as they get there, he's off and running,
(05:24):
leaving her in the dust.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Ditches her because he's got his groove or what.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Got my own rhythm? I got my own pace. I've
got to establish my pace because he's so competitive about
it and sorry if you can't keep up, sorry about it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Ditches Janelle at the back of the lamb with her
personal trainer. But she does the five k and so
does Cody, and it's a big accomplishment for Janelle, specifically
because Janelle couldn't walk like a mile more than a
mile last year or something like that, and so I
am happy about that. It was just kind of like
a whatever, nothing burger, besides the shirt thang where Robin's
(06:01):
totally fat shaming.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well and the fact that Cody just abandons her like
and doesn't give a shit at all. And I was
just on Instagram today I almost sent it to you.
I was watching this guy talk about this footage of
a wife in an airport and she's filming her husband,
who has gotten on the moving walkway, doesn't even know
that she's like half a mile behind him, and he's
(06:24):
just trucking to the gate and does not give a
shit that she's not with him, doesn't know where she is,
and doesn't care. And the guy was actually like, Ladies,
if you're married to a guy like this, divorce him.
He does not give a fuck about you. It is
in our nature as men to protect women, to make
sure these women are okay, that they are where they
(06:46):
need to be. And if your man is walking a
half a mile ahead of you and doesn't even know
where you are, this man does not care about you fundamentally.
And I thought it was a very timely reel to
watch because here's Cody fucking Brown like half a mile
up setting his it's about my rhythm and Janelle. This
is about Janelle. Janelle is just all the way in
the back with her boys. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I'm like giggling about it, not because it's funny, but
like just because it's like, Wow, I can't believe these
women like settle for men like that, men that just
completely abandon them in the airport. We're in the five
k They're just walking way ahead.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
They're like, pace out, bitch, You're not even thinking about you.
You don't even register in his consciousness. It's all about him.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That's crazy to me, Like, I'm somebody who naturally walks
really really fast. And right in the beginning when I
started dating your daughter, she's like, can you slow the
fuck ye down because I didn't realize I was walking
a little bit ahead of her.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And I'm like, oh, okay, but I listen.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm like, oh, okay, yes, I'll walk slowly with you.
And I don't give a shit. It's crazy to me
that people settle for that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, but here we are.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And then the rest of the episode kind of bobs
back and forth between the wives going to San Francisco
because they need some bonding time because all of them
hate each other. Yeah, so they're gonna go to San
Francisco and pretend like they're friends. Meanwhile, they're going to
leave Cody at home with all of the kids by
himself for like three or four days or something like that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yes. Now, one of the reasons that the wives are
also saying that they're going to San Francisco is so
that they can all find or source dresses for the upcomings.
So stupid, ain't shit commitment ceremony that nobody cares about,
especially Janelle, Like they want to find dresses and so
they're going to go to these various and sundry boutiques
and places so that they can find those dresses. But yes,
(08:33):
Cody is back in Vegas, and we get these scenes
of him trying to manage all the kids when really
it's Aspen uh huh and Mchalte and Leon and Logan's
not there. Although Logan didn't show up because he's parentified
the real parents all of these kids because Cody can't
(08:55):
do it on his own.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And I mean, of course not. He's got like fourteen
kids like one parent. Yeah, it's a lot, and Cody
is a bit like whatever. He just shows up for
his required nights.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And get the require families. I'm gonna cook all of
our food for the entire week.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
That was so sad, stupid, that was so dumb. I'm good.
I don't want to have to cook every single night
because I'm lazy, So I'm just gonna grill everything and
we're just gonna eat three dail grilled fucking chicken wings
and steak that are like barely says it. So anyway,
why Cody, Well, Cody is like grilling all of the
food for the entire week. It's pandemonium. Poor little Isabelle
(09:37):
is like running around in the cold de sac and
she like stubs her.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Toe because nobody sought to put shoes on her.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, and no parent is like watching the kids and
the could de sac, so they're just running them up.
She comes in with her fucking busted up toe, her
dirty ass feet, and Cody has to leave the grill
go ten to her steaks.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I mean, it's one thing if it's chicken, it's like
some wings. But like he left the steaks, thick gas steaks.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yep, thick gas steaks.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Think of that five prices girl? How much money?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I was like, that is so much money you're leaving
on the girl.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I was hurting. I'm like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Idiot? But he's band dad.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
He's going to take care of Isabelle's toe. He cleans
it off in the bathtub and puts a bandit on
it and everything, and then he realizes he burns the
fucking steaks. Like an idiot, like an idiot. And then
we go over to San Francisco where their wives arrive,
and apparently Mary's from the Bay Area. I didn't I
did not know that either, which I'm like, oh, okay,
(10:39):
interesting they got Mormons in.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
The Bay Area I know.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm like, huh, wow, when did you live there? But
they're back in the Bay Area. They go to their hotel.
Apparently Robin had to bring King Solomon with her because
she's still breastfeeding him or something. And then we start
going shopping.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, Robin's friend Kendra was that? Who that was? That
was Kendra bitch oh that they had her name on
the televiszone And I'm like, is that the same Kendra
who was involved with the Merry Catfish? I think? Who
was getting information, who knew that the catfish was happening
and was feeding information about the cat fishing girl back
(11:19):
to Robin who was telling Cody. Is that the same
Kendra girl? I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh my god, because I'm watching this, I'm like, who's Candra? Like,
I don't care about kids.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
So Kendra's Robin's friend and she's very fashionable, not that
you know it by looking at her. So Kendra shows
up to take it to squire them about to various
boutiques and specialty shops so that they can find a dress.
And the first shop that they go to is for
straight sizes, so there's no plus sizes. And three out
(11:50):
of the four women, well three out of the five
women because Kendra's big, I can't wear any of these clothes.
So the only person who can try on the dresses,
model the dress, or purchase the dresses, well that would
be Robin and her skinny ass.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Dude, that was crazy, wasn't it. Like could you imagine
just like watching her for hours, probably just trying on
dress after dress after.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Modeling it for the camera, and she's like, no, I'll
show you what the dresses look like, and then maybe
if they can alter them and expand them way out
to tent like proportions, maybe then you can have the
dress for yourself, but I'll model them first.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Alert and like she has the goal to show her
calves and her ankles so much. Yeah, but like so
much skin, so naughty, And then we have a whole
conversation about like modesty and this is why they have
to wear their cameusols over a long sleeve shirt because
they don't want to show any kind of skin because
(12:49):
they're pure women. We have Robin, this little hoe over
here trying on knee length dresses, and San.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Francis when she came out in that hot pink dress,
that was awful. I thought it was pretty, but I thought,
that's Janelle's color, bitch, that is not your colors, Queen
Janelle's color. That like, none of these dresses are going
to fit the other three wives. I felt like it
(13:16):
was kind of like a humiliation ritual, just another attempt
to show these fat ladies that they're fat and that
Robin's thin and that she's the Favorite's like, this is
really set. And then they go to the plus size
store and the owner of the plus size store is like,
I'm sorry, Robin, but we don't serve your kind here.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, Robin asked like, is there anything I can try
on here?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Just like, no, you're thin. This is for fatties and stuff.
It's for plus sized people. And I was just like
really embarrassing. I was cringing as a plus size person
in my mind, in my mind, I'm a plus sized
Paton and I'm just like that is so embarrassing. And
then they start trotting these women. I know I'm skipping ahead.
They start trotting these plus size Oh she wives out
(14:01):
in like sacks awful multi colored sacks yep, that are
so terrible and look awful on each one of them.
And Robin's just sitting back. They're like, oh, yeah, he
loves it. Looks so pretty. Yep, Janelle, you should wear that. Yeah,
wear that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
You should wear the ugly frumpy dress that gives you
no shape at all.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
So that way you look ugly compared.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
To me because I'm a goddesss It's like so ridiculous.
And also the other thing I'm thinking of is like,
weren't you guys like just struggling financially, like just a
couple of weeks ago or whatever, and like you've sunk
all this money into my sister wives closet and everything,
and then you're gonna go to San Francisco and act
like you guys are some dalist celebrities going to shop
(14:43):
right in San Francis downtown, San France paying for it,
I guess, But they don't even buy any dresses. So
they're going and trying on all these dresses wasting everybody's time.
And then they go to a fabric store to go
and see if they can customize their wedding or commitment
ceremony dresses. And I don't remember anything about the commitment ceremony.
(15:05):
I don't know if I've ever seen those episodes, But
those aren't the brown sack dresses, right, I don't think so, Robin.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I think that they were dressed very badly, and
I think if I recall correctly, definitely correct me if
I'm wrong. I think they have some sort of a
seamstress that comes in and sews their dresses, and they
are absolute dogshit. They are like sacks. They are so terribleso,
Like whatever fabric they're gonna get in this episode is
(15:34):
going to be turned into I think, like hor horrendous
dresses by this seamstress who like doesn't know how to sew,
and it's going to be great, It's going to be fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Crazy to me, why didn't Mary just make everybody's dresses.
She made every all the kids's pajamas and stuff every
single year.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I don't know. But then there's Robin like yeah, and
like Kandra's a designers, like she's at the fabric store,
just sketching this great dress that I wear, and like
it's just a color. It's a theme. Like we're all
gonna have the same color theme, but like we'll have
different dresses. I eat, mine's gonna be sexy and awesome, right,
and they're gonna wear tents.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Basically want and then they like leave with nothing, and
then they go to dinner at some point at some
like loud restaurant, irish pub. Yeah, oh that's right. Yeah,
and then they go and try.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Beer and like they're all scandalized by it a little bit.
But Robin won't have any. She won't even try so
pure pure more breastfeeding, Oh they still do it. If
I'm gonna baby and I'm the fertile one, what everyone
who can still have children? Yeah, so I can't have
any ale.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Right, But all the other wives try the smallest SIPs
known to man kind of all these little beers or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And Janelle, my queen, she's like, that tastes great.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I like it a lot. And I don't care if
Cody pears that I'm drinking, because he doesn't control me, bitch.
I can do whatever I want. Furthermore, he doesn't even
try it because he already knows. Don't try it with me.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And did you see how Robin looked at her when
she said that, Like, Robin looked like so judgmental.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
She said something like, well, but he's our husband, and
like he might have an opinion about it, and Janelle's like,
what opinion? I don't care. I do what I want.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I don't give a shit, And like, from what Janelle's
saying is very base, like very benign. To me, it
was like, I'm not gonna let a man tell me
what to do. But you know, for a show that
Robin took that and spun it, took Cody like Janelle
doesn't respect him, doesn't respect him as her husband.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
She was drinking, she was alcohol.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Didn't tell you that she was drinking alcohol, Like you know,
Robin took that and went back to Cody with it.
But whatever. And then at the Irish pub, this is
where Cody decides to call each of the wives and
he starts with Christine first, and this is where we
had that famous scene of Robin with her hard ass job.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It's a big joh honey, he is so mad. It
is hard. It's big with your mouth. It's straight. Yep,
it's hard to miss. It is so hard right on
her face. She is so mad, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And so all the wives talk about how awkward it
is to like have a conversation with Cody in front
of all the other wives, and how a phone call
should be private and that they shouldn't be in front
of all the other wives. All the other wives are
kella awkward, except for Robin, who seems really mad because
Cody didn't call her first or something. But it was
(18:32):
just really weird to me. I'm just like again, like,
you know that he's fucking each and every one of you.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
He's gdually whole head in between all y'all's legs, Yeah,
doing the cunny lingu. And as soon as he's done
with the cunny lingu with you, he goes to do
the cuney lingo with her. But you guys, that's why
y'all have cold source and you guys can't talk. You
can't pretend that you're all married to the same person.
You gotta have a hard john and sit with your
(18:59):
leaning back. I can't believe the audacity.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It's so insane to me. But anyway, I think. In
the conversation with Christine, this is where Cody starts to
tell her about everything.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's going on with all of the kids.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Isabelle stubbed her toe and I burned all the steaks.
Oh and by the way, like truly.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's not long for this world. She's literally fading out
like a little candle.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Truly's just got the flu and she is extremely lethargic.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
She's like doubled over on the floor.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Pale, Like, what the fuck are we doing? Coach, She's like, yeah,
I don't know, Like she seems like, okay, it seems
like the flu or something, but she doesn't have a fever.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's fine. I'm a dad, Yeah, and I would know
if it were bad, so it's okay, don't worry about it. Meanwhile,
Panta truly just slumped over on the floor. And then
my little baby, Okay, I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And I looked up what happened her. She was in
kidney feeling, I know, and she had to be on dialysis.
She was in the hospital for eleven days.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Als, Yes, how'd she get in kidney failure? She was
extremely hydrated, so nobody's given her water.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I guess should juice box. Yeah, I guess she was
extremely dehydrated. That's why she went cross high. We see
that in the preview for the next episode, so cross eyed,
and then she ended up in kidney failure, was on
dialysis for eleven freaking days. Yeah, I'm mad at.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
The way I would come skipping home with brass knuckles
to beat my husband.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
She's three years old at this point.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
How do you miss the signs that this kid is
dehydrated and needs some water or.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Something like what the hell?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh, she's got the flow though, Okay, we he's depending
on Aspen and the other older kids right to be
able to take care of this, and so he doesn't
feel like he really needs to monitor and watch these
little ones. Crazy to me, which is the real story,
is like he's not an actual parent and he's not
an actual dad. He just outsources that to everybody else.
So he misses the fact that she's in kidney failure.
(20:56):
It's insane to me. Can we backtrack a second, Yeah,
because there was a conversation that happened on the couch
between the four wives and Mary was saying something like, yeah,
I mean, I guess it's fine that we're going to
the Bay Area. Yeah, I mean, I know that we're
doing it for the commitment ceremony, but I don't really
understand why we're having a commitment ceremony because I don't
(21:18):
know what the vision is. I don't know what the
fuck she was saying.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
It was something like that, like, my heart's not in it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
My heart's not in what the commitment ceremony, the family,
my heart's not in the trip. I don't really want
to bond with these women because I don't believe in it.
Like she was kind of a Debbie downer about the
whole thing, and I didn't understand what the problem was,
did you? No.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I think Mary is the kind of person that because
she doesn't like outwardly express her feelings like, Hey, I'm
feeling really lonely because Leon's leaving the house and I'm
gonna be an empty nester and Cody's not fucking me anymore,
and I feel like I have no friends, Like instead
of saying that with her full chest, she's super passive, aggressive,
and like I I think she takes it out on
(22:01):
everybody else. So it's like, well, I just don't feel
connected to all of these women, and I don't feel
like my heart's in this commitment s there me, like,
what's the fucking point instead of just expressing like how
you actually feel like you want to shit on everything else.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
So I'm wondering if things in Mary's life are starting
to quiet down because Leon's about to leave and everybody's
got their own place, and now it's becoming glaringly obvious
that she is just not happy, and instead of like
addressing that and trying to have healthy conversations, she's sending
up these little flares to sort of indicate, yeah, I
(22:36):
know this is important for you guys. You guys want
to bond with each other, but like, I don't know
if I believe in that or that we could even
be connected. It's like this little passive, aggressive flair that
she's sending up that she's profoundly unhappy. And of course,
in a couple of years, we are going to get
Kendra and Robin and Cody and Mary with a banana
in her mouth, in a tub talking to a woman
(22:57):
who's pretended to be a man falling in love with
this guy. And I feel like this is where it
all begins. Of course it begins before this, because I
don't know if they were ever happy. I think they
were always pretty dysfunctional. But it was so busy yet
that Mary really didn't have the space to notice it.
But here we're noticing it as soon as we get
(23:18):
into the Call to Sack. Everybody's noticing it.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Right, And she seems so resistant to like try and
get along with all of them, Like at this point,
we know her and Robin are the only close ones. Like,
she does not like Christine, she does not like Janelle.
They've had their falling outs from the past, and they've
just been tolerating each other up to this point. But
like I can notice, like there was some comment about
(23:41):
like Christine wearing leggings as pants or something, and like
Mary' says something really bitchy, like I would never be
got dead wearing pants like leggings as pants. I'm just
not that kind of person.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
And then she goes on to sell Lula roue Yes,
which is all leggings exactly. It it's so like unnecessarily
mean and judgmental.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It's super judgmental, and it's like I feel like Christine
in these earlier seasons, even though she is a bit
much and she's a bit annoying and MCKELTI, like she does.
I feel like she's trying really hard to like be
okay and like be okay with her failing marriage, like
be okay with this new wife, Robin, who has obviously
(24:21):
become Cody's favorite. Like, I feel like she's really trying
to toe the line, trying to be friends with Robin.
She's trying to be nice to everybody, and like Mary
is just negative.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
She's becoming a problem. Yes. And then there's Janelle and
she's just like I don't really need all that. No,
I'm like, I'm gonna write and stuff. I got my place, yep,
but I have my own thing that I'm doing and happy.
But Mary not happy, not happy at all. No, it's
crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And then that was pretty much it. Like Cody calls
each one of the wives, it's hella awkward at the
Irish Pub, Robin's super mad about it. Once we get
to Robin's phone call, she's like hiding in the core
her behind the pub, like.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Or like, just take your phone to the bathroom and
talk to you. Why didn't they do that from the beginning.
I don't understand. I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
You have on the phone. I love Meanwhile, all the
other wives are getting like, you know, updates on what's
going on, updates on the.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Bills, the kid happening, and everybody's eating charcoal steak.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, burned all the steaks that I spent a bunch
of money on. And then the wives return and Truly
immediately wants Christine. Aspen debriefs Christine and I think all
of the rest of the moms of like everything that's happened,
because Aspen was the real parent the last three days.
And Aspen tells Christine that Truly was just bawling for
(25:49):
her mom pretty much the last like day and a half.
The three year old baby. She wants her mom, and
she's in pain, obviously, and you can see it.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
She looks really sick.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And then the wives tell Cody about the trip, how
they didn't buy any dresses, and Cody's like, wasn't that
the whole point of you going to this TLC funded
San Francisco trip? And Christine's like, well, but we like
bonded though, a little bit, did you Are you sure
about that?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
No? Are you sure about that?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
And then Janelle's like, I'm glad to be home because
at least we're all together and I can go back
to my job away from everybody else, right, right, And
then we have the preview for the next episode, and
I think the next two episodes are going to be
kind of heavy because I think it's all about Truly's
health issues.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
And then when dying, right, I think, so, I think
Win's gonna be dying here shortly.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, but and then we have Leon's last day before university.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I literally don't care, and I'm snory.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I don't give a shit. Yeah, I care more about
Truly and everything else.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Going on in the family. And doesn't the lore state
that Christine becomes very unhappy with Cody for being at
the very least unobservant of the fact that Truly is
that deathly ill like and the way they're framing it,
like the whole family's praying for her, and somebody's like, yeah,
we just don't know if she's gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well because she was super sick. She was in kidney
failure at three, so it is kind of a miracle
that she was able to pull out of that and everything.
But yeah, I've seen various posts on the reddits and
the instagrams talking about that because I think Christine does
express like some resentment over Cody not being attentive over
(27:33):
the kids and everything, and Cody being like, what wasn't
my fault? And a lot of people actually agree with
Cody a little bit because the thing with kids it
is like they're okay until they're not right and they
crash really hard, and like kids can mask their pain
really well. And like Cody also was by himself with
fifteen other No, he.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Wasn't though, and that's the problem. And I think I've
seen this framed as Christine's touring test. Is that what
it's called when the AI becomes aware of itself. So
it's like the moment she becomes aware of like, oh,
this is really fucked up though, like she's been unhappy too,
but like this is the moment of clarity and an
epiphany for her, Like, oh, he sucks. Sucks though, because
(28:16):
if he had been present, truly and it wasn't Aspen
and michel T and Logan and all the other kids,
he might have been able to notice that there was something.
I mean, I can notice just seeing her slumped over.
Then I get it that there's no fever, and that's
a good predictor. But like, if it had been me,
I'd have been like, there's some very wrong with her.
(28:36):
I'm going to take her at least to the walking
clinic and have a doctor have a look and see
what's going on. So like, he's not present enough to
even make that call. Yeah, that's the problem, and that's
Christine's like, Okay, it's one thing if you don't give
a fuck about me, but it's quite another if you
dote on King Solomon and all of Robin's kids and
(28:57):
you miss the fact that my child is in the
process of exiting the world and thoughts of you and
the horse that you rode in on.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And that's a great point. I think where people come
from on Reddit is like you can't blame like one
parent or the other for not noticing those kinds of things.
But at the same time, it's like, yeah, Gody, you're
not present enough and you're not like emotionally connected enough
to your kids to be able to pick up on that.
Because to him, he's looking at it like, oh, Okham's razor,
(29:25):
it's probably just the flu.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Or something like whatever. She'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
But it's like, no, if you were emotionally tuned in
and connected to your kid, you would know. I feel
like parents who are connected to their kids would be like,
there's something physically wrong with it.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Did you sleep there that night? It sounds like Aspen
slept there that night. It sounds like Michelti was there
that night, right, Why weren't you there with truly so
like and he's trying to play it off like, well,
I'm a dad, like I would know if something was
truly wrong. It's okay, there's no fever, but like, you
weren't even really there. And that's where Christine, if I'm Christine,
I'm like, so you didn't sleep in the same bedies
(30:00):
you bring her into your bed and sleep with her
and watch her all night? Like what?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah? Like why were the elder teenagers responsible for the
little kids in the family, Like why didn't Cody have
all of the little kids from each family with him.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
In his big bed specifically like have a slumber party, right.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
And then the elder teenagers take care of the older
kids like the nine and ten.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Because he doesn't. I think he cares, but I think
he depends so much on everybody else and delegating all
of that to somebody else that he's just not thinking
and so for me, if I'm Christine, like that would
be the moment I'm just like mmmmmmmm untenable marital situation, bitch.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, And that's usually what happens, like in a marriage
when there's a kid that ends up like really sick
or dies or whatever, like, it can put a lot
of strain on the marriage because of like resentment issues
and stuff. Even Barry and Kim Plath had that issue
when their youngest their younger boy Joshua died, Like Barry
(30:59):
talked about how he had to deal with resentment over
Kim of how she handled that situation. So of course,
and I think if I remember correctly, this is where
Cody starts becoming really bitter towards Christine because he feels
like she blamed him one hundred percent for this thing
that happened with Truly, and it's again speaks to his
narcissism of not being able to take any kind of
(31:20):
ownership or accountability for the fact that he was negligent
and didn't pay attention to Truly and her declining health status,
Like it's crazy to.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Me and like if he wanted to, he would is what.
Yet we often say about dudes and if you fast
forward to Janelle and the big Christmas fight, that was
because she finally became aware of the impact it was
having on her kids and the fact that he was
straight up calling out her boys and being antagon like
(31:52):
he had to be so antagonistic toward her children for
her to even make the decision like, yeah, this isn't
worth it, I don't want this anymore. Yeah, it's like
this moment with a woman where like, I can put
up with a lot of neglect of myself, my person,
this and that, Like I can suffer for it if
I've got kids, but the moment it is directed toward them,
or if there's evidence that you're neglectful or even abusive,
(32:15):
that's it. I can't come back from that. And that's
the thing with women. I don't even know if men
can understand it. But like with women, you hit a wall.
You try for a very long time, and we see Christine,
You're right, she's trying, she's being conciliatory, she's trying to
make it work with Robin, she's trying to be a
good sister wife. But then we hit that fucking wall
and there is absolutely now going back from that. I
(32:35):
know she tries. I know they go to Galveston. I
know they make a caaren like a rock structure. I know,
I know all of that. But I think at this
point this is the beginning of the end for Christine's heart.
It starts to break right here at the foundation is
not steady anymore. And interestingly, it's happening with Mary too,
just in a very different way. She's also being profoundly neglected.
(32:57):
And then Janelle is as well. But she's comfortable. And
that's the thing about a Taurus woman, Like, if I'm comfortable,
it covers a multitude of sins, right, But when I
start to become uncomfortable, like because my kids are crying, Yeah,
now I'm I'm getting up out of the bed and
I'm good in my breast knuckles, right, it's about to
go down.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's Jane well.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
And Janelle seems like the kind of person too where
she's like very easy going, like you don't have to
do a lot no, And like then it just became
where Cody didn't do anything. And then it's like, Okay,
how can I even tolerate this now when it's affecting
the kids. But yeah, this this was concerning to me,
I felt really bad for Dreulie. I had to look
up like what happened to her because I couldn't remember exactly,
(33:38):
and so I'm sorry for spoiling it, but like I
just felt I think.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
They all know she's alive. We just watched season nineteen.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
But like if people haven't watched season six, but it's like,
you know, I just felt bad watching little truly be
physibly sick. She's three and all bald and cute.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
And she's so sick, wispy little tendrils. That's how I
was a baby. I was bald to four, so adorable.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, poor baby.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
So Cody ain't shit, Cody's piece of shit. He's a
bad dad.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Oh my god, fat shaming.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Completely passively the entire episode. Such a mean girl very much.
So wow, is there anything else that we need to
say to these beautiful raccoons before we get up on
out of here? Beatrice?

appreciate it, so thank.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
You very much. We will be back next week with
two episodes, another Sister Wives recap and then we're gonna
catch up with our Welcome to platform because Beatrice is
going on vacation. Yes, so we're gonna miss the next platform,
but then we will be back to catch up with
that and then get everything back on the road. So
until then, please do not forget that we have nothing
(34:52):
but love for you and peace all night.
