from this episode of Sister Wives, Speedra.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I just felt so bad for a little baby, truly.
I mean, she just looked so sick, just like swaddled
up on the couch and her little blue banket, and
I'm just like, man, mm hmmm, I feel so bad.
Cody kind of made me mad about the whole thing. Yeah,
I mean we'll get into it, but it's just like,
I just felt bad for a little baby truly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah. I actually obviously felt bad her truly because she
went through like a very serious medical event. But I
also really felt bad for Aspen because this is a child,
a woman, a young woman who has been so deeply parentified,
and she has not been given like the psychological resources
and assistance to be able to process as an adult
(03:20):
parent would. And so here is this young child, three
year old, truly, who may not make it. Yeah, and
Aspen was the main child who was taking care of,
truly while all the wives went to San fran and
Cody pretended he was a father while he burned the
steaks on the grill. And so I just can only
imagine the sense of responsibility and then the subsequent sense
(03:42):
of failure that she might have been grappling with, and
you kind of see her break down a few times
in this episode, and I'm like, oh, Aspen, I know
it wasn't your fault, it's not your responsibility, and you're such.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
A good girl. I know she did the best that
she could. She's like, what eighteen or seventeen right here.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So yeah, I feel bad for her too, But it
was a good episode without further a jew, Let's get
into season six, episode sixteen, entitled.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Brown's in Crisis, op Lord, and they were. They were
definitely in crisis. But before we get into like all
of the Truly stuff, we start off the episode with
Christine saying that she took Truly to the doctor after
she was sick last episode, and the doctor was like, oh,
she just has the flu, like whatever, and they sent
her home. So while she's at home trying to recuperate
(04:33):
from said flu, the adults go out and they start
to like look for shit for their commitment service. Yes,
they go pick up flowers and and.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Then we're talking about a lot of flowers. Yeah, the
whole family loves Kaliily.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Snory. It's so dumb. And then we go and look
at cakes.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well before we look at cakes, though, they come up
with the bright idea of a tree, and so like
they're looking at the foliage and the different flowers, right
and Mary at the florists, just like, well, it wouldn't
be cool if we had like a tree of life motif?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh for the theme, oh for the sea of the party.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So this is I guess where it starts to really
take on a life with the Browns. And this becomes
ultimately the theme of their commitment ceremony, the tree of life,
because they're finally in the cul de sac. They can
put down their roots and they can grow together, which
just kills me.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Obviously, in five years you're gonna be leaving Las Vegas
and moving to flag Staff and you've got a time capsule,
you've got a tree that you're planting, and like you're
just going to abandon all of Yes, crazy, it's absolutely
crazy business.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yes, it's absolutely insane. And then when they go and
meet with the cake designer and they start talking about
like what they envision for the cake, and Cody comes
up with the bread idea.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Of I want a giant tree cake.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I want it to be at least thirty six inches high.
It's got to feed five hundred people. I want it
to be a big old stump with a big old
bushel of tree, and the cake designers like, okay, we
can try to do that. It's gonna be eighty five
hundred dollars though, I.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Know, and Janelle before she even heard the cost of
the cake, it's just like, we have to think about prices,
and we have to think about like what we can
afford and what's in the budget. And yeah, even though
this show has been on for six seasons on TLC,
they're not necessarily rolling in a ton of dough. Yet
they've probably over extended themselves in order to get into
(06:29):
these call to sack homes and now they're trying to
sort of live according to that lifestyle and that's costing money.
And so we still have Janelle trying to be the
voice of reason, like, do we really need an eighty
five hundred dollars you know, circuit to twenty thirteen twenty
fourteen cake for our dumbass for content only party that
(06:50):
I don't even want to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's kind of crazy because you see Cody's like desire
to be like to portray himself as richer than he is, Like, Oh,
I want this big, beautiful, fancy tree, and like when
the cake designer says it's gonna be eighty five hundred dollars,
Cody at first kind of seems like oh okay, And
Janelle's the one that has to reel him back, and
even Christine is like, we don't really need that cake.
(07:14):
We're sorry to dash your hopes and dreams for this
big beautiful tree cake, but like we don't need that,
Like we can just have a regular smegular cake from Kroger,
Like it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Absolutely, Like
I just couldn't believe Cody, and he seemed like genuinely
upset by it. I wonder if he like held a
little bit of resentment because he didn't get his dream cake.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's all about him, it is, And it's all about
how he projects himself to be and what he wants.
And I can't believe that they're expecting five hundred people
I know to attend this backyard come initm in ceremony,
Like do they know five hundred people?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
TLC does?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay, I guess we're gonna get there, when we get there, absolutely,
but they wanted to be special with Kal. Lily's a
tree and a cake of a tree.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And I was like thinking back into the archives when
I watched these episodes way back in the day, and
like the commitment ceremonies booty, Like their dresses are booty.
The dress is booty. I'm just like, this is gonna
be so dumb.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They can't wait, like everything they do.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Of course, and then we go over to Leon and
it's Leon's last day at home, I think, because they're
going to college, yes, and this is where they're like
preparing for like a going away party, and Cody wants
to take Leon car shopping, and I'm just like wondering,
did the other kids get to go to car shopping?
(08:36):
Did they have a car? Did they get a car
from like Craigslist? And Leon gets to go to a dealership,
like I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Know, Well, I'm wondering who's paying for this vehicle for
that because in later seasons, I do believe just last season,
Mary's like I got the car, I paid for the tuition.
I was the one who had to extend myself and
come out of my own pockets on behalf of Leon's
so I'm just like, are you even going to pay
for this car? Why?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Know?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So acting like you are.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I know, it's super weird to me. But like Leon's
big day of going to college and everything gets overshadowed
by Truly because Truly is just getting like sicker and sicker.
This is where Christine decides to take Truly to the
doctor's office again, because she ended up going.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Cross side a few times.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
A few times apparently according to Aspen and mchelte.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Which okay, So finally when Christine sees Truly go cross side,
she realizes, oh, this is disturbing. It's something wrong. We
need to go to the doctor. But according to Aspin
and mchelty, they had seen it a few times before that. Yeah,
I would imagine they sent up the flare and let
Christine know, And I'm like, why aren't we Why are
(09:43):
we not going to the hospital. And I wanted to
ask you a question about the doctor visit after San Francisco,
because at the top of this episode, like you said,
they again took Truly to the doctor. The doctor's like,
it's probably just the flu. Yeah, and we know that
she is very shortly from that point going to go
into a cute kidney failure, Like, is there really no
(10:04):
fevor for a cute kidney failure? Is there really no
symptom or other symptoms that they would have been able
to pick up on before she's keeling over and going crossside?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know, I'm not sure with kids, like I know
with adults, like it's it presents a little bit differently.
Kids are like super resilient until they're not. And so
it's like, you know, they probably went to the pediatrician
and they're like, yeah, she's got the flu, which I
think she did actually have the flu. She just ended
up like severely dehydrated and then ended up in the
kidney failure because of the dehydration. But she had the flu,
(10:37):
and so that's what they're they're just gonna say that.
They're just gonna be like, yeah, she's fine, just you know,
like give her some theraflu and she'll be fine, like whatever.
But because she ended up so dehydrated, that was why
she ended up getting cross eyed and going to the
getting into kidney failure.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And with regard that didn't mean to cut you, no, no,
with regard to the dehydration. So if she had the flu,
then as a parent, I would know, like, is she
I don't know if she's poopin, I don't know if
she's barfin, But like, whatever she's doing, I'm giving her
pedia light, I'm making sure she's got electrolytes. I'm making
sure in particular that she's got fluids that she needs.
(11:15):
But when you delegate that responsibility to Aspen, who may
not have I mean, she probably does, but she may
not have the knowledge of that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Or she's eight.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
She's eighteen, and Michelti, who's even younger than that. And
you're like, not, we talked about this last week, You're
not actually staying over at Christine's house because every time
I saw Cody, He's coming out of Robin's house exactly.
So yep, And I'm like, why y' always over there already?
The first year in the called?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So you've got these two young girls who probably just
don't know better that they've got to continue to be
pushing ped light and fluids and all of this, and
so we have this inevitable breakdown of truly and I
just I feel like it's not a fluke. And I
know a lot of people think that this is just happenstance,
and like, we can't blame Cody, we can't blame anybody.
(12:01):
But I'm just like, I don't know, but as a
mom and stuff like that with a sick kid, I'd
be like, why aren't you just push and fluids the
entire time? I don't understand why being judgmental.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I mean no, because I kind of thought the same thing.
And I think that this is like indicative of the
problem of having like such a large family too, because
things like this get overlooked, like when you have so
many kids, and like if it's just Christine managing all
of these kids by herself, and I'm not trying to
like make excuses for the parents not paying attention or
anything like that, but like if Cody's not around and
(12:33):
Christine is having to juggle a bunch of other things
and she's delegating all these tasks to the eldest kids,
it's like, of course it's gonna get missed. And that's
what's so unfortunate, because this really could have been like
the end for truly and it's terrible. Like I'm really
glad that she pulled through and she's healthy and thriving now,
but like watching this bag. I'm like, this is crazy,
(12:54):
Like how did this go unnoticed? Because once Christine finally
notices Trulyie's going cross side, she takes her to the
doctor and I'm just like, why didn't you go to
the er straight? Did you just go to the er straight?
You go to the pediatrician. Okay, pediatrician tells you go
to the fucking er, bitch, and then she goes and
Christie's like, oh my god, I had no idea it
(13:14):
could be so serious. I'm like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So I have to insert a personal story at this point.
It is probably one of the funniest stories to come
out of my family because of my daughter your wife. Yes,
So when my daughter your wife was I want to say,
in fourth grade, third or fourth grade, little I got
a call from her school saying, missus Delia, something is
(13:41):
wrong with your daughter. All of a sudden, in like
third period, she started having cross eyes, like her eye crossed,
and she was sent to the nurse. We've checked her out.
She seems fine otherwise, but like her eyes are definitely
cross something's wrong. And I was like immediately thinking, oh no,
like brain too, and I don't have six kids. I
(14:01):
didn't have a lot of experience, but I just immediately
thought neurology. I thought a brain. I'm like, I'm taking
her straight to the hospital. So I went and picked
her up. We went to the er. My then husband
was like miles and miles away, but I'm on the phone.
I'm talking to my brother. We get into like the
er and her eyes are definitely crossed, and so I'm
(14:22):
talking to the doctor outside of like the little room,
and he's like, well, like, nothing else seems to be wrong.
It's just very very anomalous and strange that she would
all of a sudden have cross eyes. So we're gonna
have to send her for an MRI. Is a cat,
She's going to have to be imaged, because the only
thing I can think of is that maybe there's a tumor,
maybe there's something going on, and so of course this
(14:43):
is what we do. That's the next step. She gets
sent for an MRI, and I am just internally breaking down.
I'm like Christine in this episode, like I am despondent
because I can't think of anything else that it can be,
and if it's a brain tumor, like the implications of that,
I am just falling a part of on the phone
with my brother. My brother is praying for me, and
(15:03):
like it was so traumatic, and it was like literally
hours as you do when you go to the emergency room.
So they take her to the MRI, they image of her,
get the results back absolutely no problems. Yeah, normal, and
they're like, I don't know what's going on with your
daughter here, and but she seems perfectly healthy. Like the
tests we've run, all other secondary tests seem fine. And
(15:24):
so what they did was they called this ophthalmologist or
this eye doctor. Like it was nine pm by the
time we got out of the hospital and they asked
him to open up his ophthalmology office. He came in
special to meet with my daughter and he fitted her
with little glasses to help her correct her eyes. Stop
it so no, So then he made the glass on
(15:45):
the spot. It took a couple of hours he made
the glasses on the spot for her. We got the glasses,
we got home and we finally just said, okay, let's
go to sleep. And the entire time her eye, her
one eye is crossed in and I'm like, go to sleep,
we'll wake up, you'll have glasses. It'll be really cool,
It'll be fine. And I'm breaking down as a mom.
I'm breaking down Beatrice. And so the next morning, you know,
(16:07):
I walk into her room and she wakes up and
her eyes are okay, her eyes are back to normal,
and I'm like, are you can you see okay? She's like, yeah,
I can see perfectly fine. So long story, long, bitch.
It comes out later, Yeah, quite a while later.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I just think it's a miracle. And Jesus is alive
in me and you and in my daughter, and miracles exist,
and I live in a magical space. Yeah, he says
what I'm thinking. Months later, my daughter tells me that
she was faking it the whole time, and you know why, right,
And she was faking it because she was being bullied
by somebody at school, was making trouble. She didn't want
to go from third period into fourth period if she
(16:49):
wanted to be able to come home. And so when
she tells me this months later, she was wise to
do that, because I was so fucking pretended. If she
had told me in the hospital, I would have lost
my shirt of court. What the are you doing about?
But she waited, and so I was able to chuckle yeah,
and then I was in awe that she kept her
one eye crossed for literally, like I picked her up
(17:11):
at I don't know noon, for literally eleven hours. She
kept one of her little eyes crossed the entire time,
and she was faking.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
She went into the MRI with the cross eyes with
a cross dye the entire came out with a gross dye,
went and saw the emergency optician or ophthalmologist, whichever.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Is the doctor one, and they made her fancy glasses.
You know what hanty glasses. They do that with prisms.
They put prisms in her glasses because I used to
work for an eye doctor, and that's what they they
made her. I didn't even know that bird.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It was just a prescription he made that. Yes, yes,
So she had these fancy glasses set on her nightstand.
When she woke up in the morning, I was gonna
be like, it's okay, But her eyes were back and
it was all fake. At least, it was all a lie.
That is my daughter, and I have to respect it.
(18:05):
She was being bullived, but yeah, and that's that's bad.
And then I started teaching her how to fight and
stuff like that. But which is good. Now, Yeah, but
I mean that was my cross eide story. Not the
same as little truly, No, like she had cross eyes
for an actual reason. But that's the lengths my daughter
would go to not have to go to fourth period.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well, it just speaks to like how Christine is feeling now,
like you can relate to that sense of panic of
like just looking at your young child and being like,
oh my god, what the fuck is wrong? And then
for Christine's sake, like they get sent to the er
and the doc is like worried that it's meningitis which
is fatal, or freaking a brain tumor or whatever, and
(18:43):
he even says it could be kidney failure. And sure enough,
they find out that she is in kidney failure because
her labs are all out of whack. She has no
fluids in her according to Cody, and she has to
be admitted into the hospital and it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Terrible, terribleying. And they're hoping that if they give her
fluids and they keep her in the hospital that our
own systems will come back online and she'll start urinating
and she'll start like getting back on track. But that
like doesn't happen. No, for days, for days, they give
her some special medicine to sort of fill her up
with some fluids, and they have to catheterize her because
(19:21):
it's not coming out before they try the dialysis, and
so they didn't do They did abdominal dialysis, which I
didn't even know was a thing. Versus what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Is it Carolina Reaper?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You can't just walk in on our podcast?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Is it really good? It has the texture of the bread.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh gosh, really good, and so it's not too hot
with the Carolina Reaper pepper.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I put the whole thing in there.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I didn't know seeds and all. Yes, Oh my gosh, yesh,
you like it really?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Thank you all for you.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Sorry about that, everybody listening and watching. That was my husband.
My daughter in law here is a very accomplished and
talented baker of sour dough.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I am obsessed with it and I bake them sour
dough every week.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Every week I get a halapeno chadder low yeah gets
whatever you're making for him.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
He always makes me do like some weird spicy pepper things.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So he's growing hobbin niaro's, yeah, And so he gave
her some hobbin niaros for some hobbin niaro bread. But
he's also growing ghost peppers, scorpions.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And carolina apparently.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But he doesn't really know of them. And so he
thought when he saw a red hobin niero looking pepper
that it was just an overly ripe papennero or something.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
He thought it was. He told me it was a
Scotch bonnet.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Well that's a hobbin nyiro.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, He's like, it's a Scotch bonnet.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Thought it was like a red one.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
And so I took it home on Sunday and I'm like,
I'm gonna make him bread and I'm gonna surprise him.
I didn't even tell him I was making bread. I
brought it over and then he texts me today as
his bread's in the oven, He's like, oh, by the way,
February gave you is a Carolina reaper. I'm like, oh, okay,
well I put it in your bread.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You're gonna try it no matter what. So he's just
busting in to let her know that it was really good.
Sorry about that. So we were talking about truly getting
abdominal dialysis, yes, versus what other kind of dialom No.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Abdominal dialysis is pretty common it's for your kidneys.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, but I bet there was another type of dialysis
she could have got that was more hardcore that they
were starting with the abdominal dialysis. Yeah, I mean what
the other one was.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I think it's just how it's how it's fed through. Yeah.
I think for like kids, it's a little bit different
because they're so small and their bodies are so delicate,
Like it's different like for older people and stuff that
are getting dialysis and everything. But yeah, so they didn't
want to start her on dialysis at first because she
is such a little baby and they don't want to
put her through all of that. But because she had
(21:53):
she wasn't peeing, and she had no fluids in her
and she wasn't retaining anything, and her labs were all
out of whack, then they had to start the dialysis.
And I think there was like on like day seven
or eight or something like that, like she's in the
hospital for like a freaking week. I think total, she
ended up in the hospital for like eleven days yep,
which is insane for like a little three year old baby.
And the doctors were telling Christine and Cody, like, you know,
(22:16):
cases like this, we don't see the kids making out
of it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
So just FYI, that's a terrible thing to say to
a parent who's standing vigil over their daughter. Horrible as
having a cute kidney failure. And I just really felt
for Christine here because it seems like every night Cody
got to go home to Robin's house and stay with Robin,
(22:39):
and then in the morning he would check in with Christine,
who again has been standing or sitting or laying vigil
the entire time, with truly getting in and out of
her hospital bed, because Truly would call to her and say,
come with me, Mommy in the bed, and so she'd
get in the bed, but there's so much wires and
so many things that she couldn't stay in the bed.
And so but Cody gets to just be Disney dad
in the situation and like skip out of the hospital
(23:02):
and go back to his favorite wife and just call
in and get check ups. I mean, it's not like
he didn't care, and I'm not trying to say that
he doesn't. It's just like it's not something my husband
would do. That shit is not something I would do.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's what pissed me off about this because I'm just
like I think I saw a post about it on
Reddit a while ago of somebody saying like this would
have been an opportunity for polygamy to like really shine,
Like all three of the other wives that are home
with all of the other kids could have taken over
the forts and like taken over where Christine was gone
and where Cody was gone, so that way Cody could
(23:38):
be with Christine in the hospital with his little baby
three year old that is in kidney failure. But no,
Cody goes home and stays with Robin for some reason,
as if he's like super fucking helpful, like we saw
just last episode when he's when everybody's in San Francisco
and he's burning steaks and he can't deal with all
of these kids around. He has to have Aspen and
(23:58):
call her seventeen times to have her help and be
the parent because he can't manage any of the kids
because he doesn't want to. It's just like it kind
of pissed me off, honestly, like he should have been there.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
The absolutely, especially in the beginning. Yes, the first night
that truly's in the hospital, Christine obviously stays all night,
but Cody goes home because again, they're having a party
for Leon, and he wants to show up and let
everybody know what's going on. And then I think it's
the next day when Christine calls. Is it's the next
(24:29):
day when Christine calls and Mary gets the I forget
there's an update. Christine's calling. She's not getting better, yes,
and so Cody's going to have to go back to
the hospital. And so then we see Robin walk up
to her purple bedroom, which means we're in Robin's house
and wake up Cody, who's taking a nap in her
house and say, hey, like, it's not good. Actually, truly's
(24:49):
not getting better. The medicine's not helping. You need to
go back to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
So I don't know. I hate to judge other parents
obviously judge I am, but I'm like, so, you're a
Robin's house. Why aren't you at Christine's house. Why aren't
you with the siblings of Truly, especially Aspen and mckelthe
straighta who were probably really torn up about the fact
that their little sister that they were taking care of
because you're not a dad, Like, why wouldn't you be
(25:14):
with them, comforting them and being with them as you're
waiting for updates if you have to not be.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
At the hospital, you know, that's a good point, Like
why are you at Robin's house? Why aren't you at
Christine's where Christine is not available because she's in the
hospital with your kid? That? Oh God, that's what pisses
me off. I am totally judging Cody for it because
I'm just like, you're being kind of absent, dude. Yeah,
your wife needs you and your little baby needs you, right,
because we all know that if King Solomon was in
(25:42):
the hospital with kidney failure, Cody would have been there
the entire time I think it's happened twenty four to seven,
he would have been there.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
And it kind of lends itself to this idea that
you see floated around the community that like Cody never
really liked truly that much, or maybe never really bonded
with truly that much, didn't seem to really enjoy truly.
And I think it was in this last season SE's
in nineteen when Cody and Robin show up to Gwendolen's
engagement party, or or maybe it was Michelty and Tony's
(26:12):
house and they show up and truly sitting on the
couch and Cody doesn't even say hi to her, doesn't
give her a hug, doesn't even acknowledge her at eleven
or twelve years old or whatever she is at this time.
I don't think he ever bonded with her. I mean,
I think he cares about her, but not like cares
cares about her.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah. I think it's like a superficial like, oh no,
I'm a dad, I care about my kids, but you
don't actually care because if you did, your actions would
speak for that. And obviously, poor Cody like truly has
to watch this stuff back. I mean she probably isn't,
but you know what I mean, Like if she ends
up watching this stuff back, she'll see that her dad
wasn't even there like the entire time. While she's in
(26:54):
the hospital like dying basically like you're in kidney failure. Yeah,
like you have to be on dialysis and luckily a
miracle like it ends up working. But after like fourteen
hours of being on dialysis is when it starts to
finally work. Because they started her on it, it wasn't
working right away. And I think that was when Christine
called somebody like Mary or whatever and Cody's home and
(27:18):
Mary tells him, you can't come with me and Leon
to college, like you need to stay here for Christine.
Because Cody was gonna go. He was gonna go up
to Utah with Leon and Mary and see Leon off
in their dorm and like, I can understand that you
want to be involved for your kids, like big day.
I understand that it sucks for Leon to have all
(27:42):
of their college stuff overshadowed by this tragic like thing
that's happening with Truly. But the fact that Cody even
had that thought of like, no, I'm gonna be in
Utah with you guys, and Mary has to tell him
stay home, dude, stay home and be there for Christine.
It's like kind of crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yep, agreed.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And then I think after fourteen hours of dialysis it
starts to work, and then it wasn't working. And then
Cody says that he tried to get Truly to have
like a peepee poop poop party or something, and so
he takes credit for that.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yes, he takes credit for this. So in the eve
that she gets better and we're like, so we're ten
days in nine days and whatever it is, Cody decides
to have some sort of a rallying talk with truly,
like on a level that a three year old can understand,
and he asks her to please pee in your dip. Yeah,
and then you know, poop in your dip and let's
have a pee poop party.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And Christine's like, yeah, I actually saw like a little
sparkle in her eye when he said that, Like she
really got what he was asking for, and that gave her,
like what Cody is trying to say that that gave
her the inspiration, Yeah, to finally pee. I'm like, Okay,
I think it was the dialysis and I think this
is the functioning kidneys and stuff like that. But it
was really glaring to me how he felt the need
(29:03):
to take credit somewhat.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, oh, definitely for what.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Was happening with his child. I mean it's so narcissistic.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Oh yeah, communal narcissist. Like, oh, look at what I did.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
If I hadn't said that, right, I don't know where
we'd be.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, I'm like, shut the fuck up, dude. Meanwhile, you're
going back home to go and sleep in Robin's bed
while your kid is still in the hospital getting dialysis.
But like okay, and then it's like the ninth day
or something. Dialysis is finally working, She's finally being after
Cody saved the day and saved her life or whatever.
And I think this is where Aspen goes and visits
(29:36):
the hospital. Is this where we start seeing her breakdown
or was that before she.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Broke down a couple before. Yeah, she broke down a
couple of times. The first time was kind of early
into it, when the family gets together to pray and
Aspen is asked to lead the prayer, which again I'm like,
people pay attention to other kids in the world, right,
like pay attention to what's going on with Aspen, And
so Aspen starts to pray, but then she she breaks
down in the middle of the prayer and I felt
(30:02):
really bad for her, but yes she does. I think
towards the end go and visit a little truly, and
you can kind of just see the maternal bond, at
least from Aspen's side of it, Like she needed to
put eyes on this child, she needed to give her
a hug, she needed to be there for her because
she's essentially stand in mama.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, And then I think this is where Christine calls
the family and tells them that things are getting better
and that she Truly gets to go home the next day,
and everybody's super excited, and then they bring her home
the next day. The whole family greets her. I think
Leon's up in college though.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, I think. The day after Truly goes into the hospital,
Mary does take Leon up to Westminster and gets them
checked into the dorm. What do y'all.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Don I didn't moved into the dorm and Leon's really happy,
but at the same time, Leanna is very concerned about
Truly because that's Leon's.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Sister well, and Mary even says that, like, you know,
it's kind of sucks that Leon has this like really
exciting day of starting college and moving into the dorms,
and like how fun of an experience that is, but
it's coupled with this crazy thing with Truly, but Truly
ends up getting out of the hospital, she ends up
feeling a lot better. You can see the life coming
(31:24):
back into her face, and she's brought back home. The
whole family's excited, and then Christine says something about how
this whole experience like connected her and Cody better and Chris,
Cody and truly.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I think it was Okay. Christine says, this whole event
has caused me to really be present with my children,
Like when they're talking to me, I'm looking into their eyes. Yeah,
when they need something from me, I stop what I'm
doing and I am with them. Cody is the one
who says that's this medical event brought me closer to
(31:59):
truly and helped me to connect with Christine. It brought
us closer key again, so indicating and or implying that
they haven't been close mm hmm, and that there are
definitely issues in this relationship. Yeah, and it took this
terrible experience to get them to be together in even
close proximity. Yeah, like together in the hotel at the
(32:21):
hospital room from time to time, and that helped their relationship.
I'm like, Okay, what happens though, as soon as there's
not a medical problem. What happens as soon as like
you go back to Robin's mcmanson, where's Christine, Then she's
still taking care of all of these kids.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Well, And that's like where I'm thinking he's lying about that,
because I'm like, most of the time when health issues
and things like this happened between couples, it usually puts
a massive strain on the relationship because if I was Christine,
I probably would feel a little bit bitter about the
fact that my kid was sick on his watch while
I'm in San Francisco and he didn't pay attention to
(33:02):
the fact that she was fucking dehydrated, and he made
my eighteen year old and sixteen year old daughters take
care of my three year old baby that too.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Though Christine makes her children watch over her littles.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yes, but she's also still more of a present parent
than Cody is. Like Cody's in their burning steaks on
the gril. Yeah, So it's like, I don't know, I
don't know if Cody is just talking out his ass
here to try and like save face because he doesn't
want people to pick up on the fact at this
time that him and Christine and her family are struggling.
(33:34):
I'm just like, I'm wondering how Christine's feeling. But Christine
does say, like you'd said, she feels more close to
all of her kids. She doesn't want to take any
of the moments with them for granted, she's trying to
be more present with them. So it did help Christine
like realize, like, oh shit, I got to stop being
like all over the place. I need to focus on
what matters, which is my kids.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Right, And I thought that was wonderful, And then they
kind of tried to dovetail that into or roll that
into the upcoming commitment celebration. Like you know, you worry
about things and there's squabbles in the family, but like
this really reminds us of what is important, and it
is our family and it is our being together, and
so that really makes the celebration that's coming up much
(34:16):
more important, the focus of what we are building together
as the architects of our lives. Oh God, like, shut
the fu shut up.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This whole commitment ceremony is so dwn care. It's so
cursed too. I'm just like you're talking about this and
I'm like, we all know that this commitment didn't last.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Just called a sack. These roots never get a chance
to get burrowed into the death or watered because you
guys pick up and you leave.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
And you just like you always do, always, yeah, just
to run away from all their problems. It's crazy, but
we get into that preview. We talk about the commitment ceremony.
Nobody gives a shit. We talked to some contractor who
is talking about how polygamy is terrible, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Every single person, it's got to be every single proclaimed
to them that we are polygamists, and then hear what
their judgment is, Like, why do we care? We've been
doing this year after year after year after year.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And every single one says the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, I mean, they're nice people, but I would never live.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
That polygamy is terrible.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I'm tired of it. I stop doing this.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
It's so dumb.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
God.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
And then we have Mary going to her former employers
for some reason to tell them that she's a polygamist
because they've seen the show or something.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I'm like, why, no, No, I don't think it's because
they've seen the show. It's like she's telling them for
the first time. Is the way they're setting it up?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I mean, but you would imagine that they would have
heard that Mary Brown is on some television show that
they have learned by now that it's a polygamist. Again,
it's just this creating contents, producing episodes not authentic, and
so in season.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Six, Yeah, even though.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
There are definitely undercurrents that are quite interesting even in
this episode, Like we're already losing the plot. Yep, we're
already way too manufacturing these Yeah, and I'm getting bored
by it.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I'm so bored. And then the final thing in the
preview is that unfortunately Cody's brother Curtis passes away in
a tragic motorcycle accident, and so his family is having
to deal with that, and I think they go up
to Wyoming and everything for it. So next episode is
going to be really sad.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, they're having a very eventful summer.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yes, big yikes.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, lots going on with these Browns. You've been through
a lot. You gotta give it to them. They do
a lot, and they're still standing, at least for now.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah for now.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Well, is there anything else that we should say to
these beautiful raccoons before we get up on Ada Here Beach?

in VAM thank you. So did you have any takeaways
from this episode of Sister Wives, Speedra.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I just felt so bad for a little baby, truly.
I mean, she just looked so sick, just like swaddled
up on the couch and her little blue banket, and
I'm just like, man, mm hmmm, I feel so bad.
Cody kind of made me mad about the whole thing. Yeah,
I mean we'll get into it, but it's just like,
I just felt bad for a little baby truly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah. I actually obviously felt bad her truly because she
went through like a very serious medical event. But I
also really felt bad for Aspen because this is a child,
a woman, a young woman who has been so deeply parentified,
and she has not been given like the psychological resources
and assistance to be able to process as an adult
(03:20):
parent would. And so here is this young child, three
year old, truly, who may not make it. Yeah, and
Aspen was the main child who was taking care of,
truly while all the wives went to San fran and
Cody pretended he was a father while he burned the
steaks on the grill. And so I just can only
imagine the sense of responsibility and then the subsequent sense
(03:42):
of failure that she might have been grappling with, and
you kind of see her break down a few times
in this episode, and I'm like, oh, Aspen, I know
it wasn't your fault, it's not your responsibility, and you're such.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
A good girl. I know she did the best that
she could. She's like, what eighteen or seventeen right here.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So yeah, I feel bad for her too, But it
was a good episode without further a jew, Let's get
into season six, episode sixteen, entitled.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Brown's in Crisis, op Lord, and they were. They were
definitely in crisis. But before we get into like all
of the Truly stuff, we start off the episode with
Christine saying that she took Truly to the doctor after
she was sick last episode, and the doctor was like, oh,
she just has the flu, like whatever, and they sent
her home. So while she's at home trying to recuperate
(04:33):
from said flu, the adults go out and they start
to like look for shit for their commitment service. Yes,
they go pick up flowers and and.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Then we're talking about a lot of flowers. Yeah, the
whole family loves Kaliily.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Snory. It's so dumb. And then we go and look
at cakes.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well before we look at cakes, though, they come up
with the bright idea of a tree, and so like
they're looking at the foliage and the different flowers, right
and Mary at the florists, just like, well, it wouldn't
be cool if we had like a tree of life motif?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh for the theme, oh for the sea of the party.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So this is I guess where it starts to really
take on a life with the Browns. And this becomes
ultimately the theme of their commitment ceremony, the tree of life,
because they're finally in the cul de sac. They can
put down their roots and they can grow together, which
just kills me.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Obviously, in five years you're gonna be leaving Las Vegas
and moving to flag Staff and you've got a time capsule,
you've got a tree that you're planting, and like you're
just going to abandon all of Yes, crazy, it's absolutely
crazy business.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yes, it's absolutely insane. And then when they go and
meet with the cake designer and they start talking about
like what they envision for the cake, and Cody comes
up with the bread idea.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Of I want a giant tree cake.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I want it to be at least thirty six inches high.
It's got to feed five hundred people. I want it
to be a big old stump with a big old
bushel of tree, and the cake designers like, okay, we
can try to do that. It's gonna be eighty five
hundred dollars though, I.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Know, and Janelle before she even heard the cost of
the cake, it's just like, we have to think about prices,
and we have to think about like what we can
afford and what's in the budget. And yeah, even though
this show has been on for six seasons on TLC,
they're not necessarily rolling in a ton of dough. Yet
they've probably over extended themselves in order to get into
(06:29):
these call to sack homes and now they're trying to
sort of live according to that lifestyle and that's costing money.
And so we still have Janelle trying to be the
voice of reason, like, do we really need an eighty
five hundred dollars you know, circuit to twenty thirteen twenty
fourteen cake for our dumbass for content only party that
(06:50):
I don't even want to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's kind of crazy because you see Cody's like desire
to be like to portray himself as richer than he is, Like, Oh,
I want this big, beautiful, fancy tree, and like when
the cake designer says it's gonna be eighty five hundred dollars,
Cody at first kind of seems like oh okay, And
Janelle's the one that has to reel him back, and
even Christine is like, we don't really need that cake.
(07:14):
We're sorry to dash your hopes and dreams for this
big beautiful tree cake, but like we don't need that,
Like we can just have a regular smegular cake from Kroger,
Like it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Absolutely, Like
I just couldn't believe Cody, and he seemed like genuinely
upset by it. I wonder if he like held a
little bit of resentment because he didn't get his dream cake.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's all about him, it is, And it's all about
how he projects himself to be and what he wants.
And I can't believe that they're expecting five hundred people
I know to attend this backyard come initm in ceremony,
Like do they know five hundred people?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
TLC does?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay, I guess we're gonna get there, when we get there, absolutely,
but they wanted to be special with Kal. Lily's a
tree and a cake of a tree.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And I was like thinking back into the archives when
I watched these episodes way back in the day, and
like the commitment ceremonies booty, Like their dresses are booty.
The dress is booty. I'm just like, this is gonna
be so dumb.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They can't wait, like everything they do.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Of course, and then we go over to Leon and
it's Leon's last day at home, I think, because they're
going to college, yes, and this is where they're like
preparing for like a going away party, and Cody wants
to take Leon car shopping, and I'm just like wondering,
did the other kids get to go to car shopping?
(08:36):
Did they have a car? Did they get a car
from like Craigslist? And Leon gets to go to a dealership,
like I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Know, Well, I'm wondering who's paying for this vehicle for
that because in later seasons, I do believe just last season,
Mary's like I got the car, I paid for the tuition.
I was the one who had to extend myself and
come out of my own pockets on behalf of Leon's
so I'm just like, are you even going to pay
for this car? Why?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Know?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So acting like you are.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I know, it's super weird to me. But like Leon's
big day of going to college and everything gets overshadowed
by Truly because Truly is just getting like sicker and sicker.
This is where Christine decides to take Truly to the
doctor's office again, because she ended up going.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Cross side a few times.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
A few times apparently according to Aspen and mchelte.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Which okay, So finally when Christine sees Truly go cross side,
she realizes, oh, this is disturbing. It's something wrong. We
need to go to the doctor. But according to Aspin
and mchelty, they had seen it a few times before that. Yeah,
I would imagine they sent up the flare and let
Christine know, And I'm like, why aren't we Why are
(09:43):
we not going to the hospital. And I wanted to
ask you a question about the doctor visit after San Francisco,
because at the top of this episode, like you said,
they again took Truly to the doctor. The doctor's like,
it's probably just the flu. Yeah, and we know that
she is very shortly from that point going to go
into a cute kidney failure, Like, is there really no
(10:04):
fevor for a cute kidney failure? Is there really no
symptom or other symptoms that they would have been able
to pick up on before she's keeling over and going crossside?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know, I'm not sure with kids, like I know
with adults, like it's it presents a little bit differently.
Kids are like super resilient until they're not. And so
it's like, you know, they probably went to the pediatrician
and they're like, yeah, she's got the flu, which I
think she did actually have the flu. She just ended
up like severely dehydrated and then ended up in the
kidney failure because of the dehydration. But she had the flu,
(10:37):
and so that's what they're they're just gonna say that.
They're just gonna be like, yeah, she's fine, just you know,
like give her some theraflu and she'll be fine, like whatever.
But because she ended up so dehydrated, that was why
she ended up getting cross eyed and going to the
getting into kidney failure.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And with regard that didn't mean to cut you, no, no,
with regard to the dehydration. So if she had the flu,
then as a parent, I would know, like, is she
I don't know if she's poopin, I don't know if
she's barfin, But like, whatever she's doing, I'm giving her
pedia light, I'm making sure she's got electrolytes. I'm making
sure in particular that she's got fluids that she needs.
(11:15):
But when you delegate that responsibility to Aspen, who may
not have I mean, she probably does, but she may
not have the knowledge of that.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Or she's eight.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
She's eighteen, and Michelti, who's even younger than that. And
you're like, not, we talked about this last week, You're
not actually staying over at Christine's house because every time
I saw Cody, He's coming out of Robin's house exactly.
So yep, And I'm like, why y' always over there already?
The first year in the called?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So you've got these two young girls who probably just
don't know better that they've got to continue to be
pushing ped light and fluids and all of this, and
so we have this inevitable breakdown of truly and I
just I feel like it's not a fluke. And I
know a lot of people think that this is just happenstance,
and like, we can't blame Cody, we can't blame anybody.
(12:01):
But I'm just like, I don't know, but as a
mom and stuff like that with a sick kid, I'd
be like, why aren't you just push and fluids the
entire time? I don't understand why being judgmental.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I mean no, because I kind of thought the same thing.
And I think that this is like indicative of the
problem of having like such a large family too, because
things like this get overlooked, like when you have so
many kids, and like if it's just Christine managing all
of these kids by herself, and I'm not trying to
like make excuses for the parents not paying attention or
anything like that, but like if Cody's not around and
(12:33):
Christine is having to juggle a bunch of other things
and she's delegating all these tasks to the eldest kids,
it's like, of course it's gonna get missed. And that's
what's so unfortunate, because this really could have been like
the end for truly and it's terrible. Like I'm really
glad that she pulled through and she's healthy and thriving now,
but like watching this bag. I'm like, this is crazy,
(12:54):
Like how did this go unnoticed? Because once Christine finally
notices Trulyie's going cross side, she takes her to the
doctor and I'm just like, why didn't you go to
the er straight? Did you just go to the er straight?
You go to the pediatrician. Okay, pediatrician tells you go
to the fucking er, bitch, and then she goes and
Christie's like, oh my god, I had no idea it
(13:14):
could be so serious. I'm like, what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
So I have to insert a personal story at this point.
It is probably one of the funniest stories to come
out of my family because of my daughter your wife. Yes,
So when my daughter your wife was I want to say,
in fourth grade, third or fourth grade, little I got
a call from her school saying, missus Delia, something is
(13:41):
wrong with your daughter. All of a sudden, in like
third period, she started having cross eyes, like her eye crossed,
and she was sent to the nurse. We've checked her out.
She seems fine otherwise, but like her eyes are definitely
cross something's wrong. And I was like immediately thinking, oh no,
like brain too, and I don't have six kids. I
(14:01):
didn't have a lot of experience, but I just immediately
thought neurology. I thought a brain. I'm like, I'm taking
her straight to the hospital. So I went and picked
her up. We went to the er. My then husband
was like miles and miles away, but I'm on the phone.
I'm talking to my brother. We get into like the
er and her eyes are definitely crossed, and so I'm
(14:22):
talking to the doctor outside of like the little room,
and he's like, well, like, nothing else seems to be wrong.
It's just very very anomalous and strange that she would
all of a sudden have cross eyes. So we're gonna
have to send her for an MRI. Is a cat,
She's going to have to be imaged, because the only
thing I can think of is that maybe there's a tumor,
maybe there's something going on, and so of course this
(14:43):
is what we do. That's the next step. She gets
sent for an MRI, and I am just internally breaking down.
I'm like Christine in this episode, like I am despondent
because I can't think of anything else that it can be,
and if it's a brain tumor, like the implications of that,
I am just falling a part of on the phone
with my brother. My brother is praying for me, and
(15:03):
like it was so traumatic, and it was like literally
hours as you do when you go to the emergency room.
So they take her to the MRI, they image of her,
get the results back absolutely no problems. Yeah, normal, and
they're like, I don't know what's going on with your
daughter here, and but she seems perfectly healthy. Like the
tests we've run, all other secondary tests seem fine. And
(15:24):
so what they did was they called this ophthalmologist or
this eye doctor. Like it was nine pm by the
time we got out of the hospital and they asked
him to open up his ophthalmology office. He came in
special to meet with my daughter and he fitted her
with little glasses to help her correct her eyes. Stop
it so no, So then he made the glass on
(15:45):
the spot. It took a couple of hours he made
the glasses on the spot for her. We got the glasses,
we got home and we finally just said, okay, let's
go to sleep. And the entire time her eye, her
one eye is crossed in and I'm like, go to sleep,
we'll wake up, you'll have glasses. It'll be really cool,
It'll be fine. And I'm breaking down as a mom.
I'm breaking down Beatrice. And so the next morning, you know,
(16:07):
I walk into her room and she wakes up and
her eyes are okay, her eyes are back to normal,
and I'm like, are you can you see okay? She's like, yeah,
I can see perfectly fine. So long story, long, bitch.
It comes out later, Yeah, quite a while later.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I just think it's a miracle. And Jesus is alive
in me and you and in my daughter, and miracles exist,
and I live in a magical space. Yeah, he says
what I'm thinking. Months later, my daughter tells me that
she was faking it the whole time, and you know why, right,
And she was faking it because she was being bullied
by somebody at school, was making trouble. She didn't want
to go from third period into fourth period if she
(16:49):
wanted to be able to come home. And so when
she tells me this months later, she was wise to
do that, because I was so fucking pretended. If she
had told me in the hospital, I would have lost
my shirt of court. What the are you doing about?
But she waited, and so I was able to chuckle yeah,
and then I was in awe that she kept her
one eye crossed for literally, like I picked her up
(17:11):
at I don't know noon, for literally eleven hours. She
kept one of her little eyes crossed the entire time,
and she was faking.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
She went into the MRI with the cross eyes with
a cross dye the entire came out with a gross dye,
went and saw the emergency optician or ophthalmologist, whichever.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Is the doctor one, and they made her fancy glasses.
You know what hanty glasses. They do that with prisms.
They put prisms in her glasses because I used to
work for an eye doctor, and that's what they they
made her. I didn't even know that bird.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It was just a prescription he made that. Yes, yes,
So she had these fancy glasses set on her nightstand.
When she woke up in the morning, I was gonna
be like, it's okay, But her eyes were back and
it was all fake. At least, it was all a lie.
That is my daughter, and I have to respect it.
(18:05):
She was being bullived, but yeah, and that's that's bad.
And then I started teaching her how to fight and
stuff like that. But which is good. Now, Yeah, but
I mean that was my cross eide story. Not the
same as little truly, No, like she had cross eyes
for an actual reason. But that's the lengths my daughter
would go to not have to go to fourth period.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well, it just speaks to like how Christine is feeling now,
like you can relate to that sense of panic of
like just looking at your young child and being like,
oh my god, what the fuck is wrong? And then
for Christine's sake, like they get sent to the er
and the doc is like worried that it's meningitis which
is fatal, or freaking a brain tumor or whatever, and
(18:43):
he even says it could be kidney failure. And sure enough,
they find out that she is in kidney failure because
her labs are all out of whack. She has no
fluids in her according to Cody, and she has to
be admitted into the hospital and it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Terrible, terribleying. And they're hoping that if they give her
fluids and they keep her in the hospital that our
own systems will come back online and she'll start urinating
and she'll start like getting back on track. But that
like doesn't happen. No, for days, for days, they give
her some special medicine to sort of fill her up
with some fluids, and they have to catheterize her because
(19:21):
it's not coming out before they try the dialysis, and
so they didn't do They did abdominal dialysis, which I
didn't even know was a thing. Versus what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Is it Carolina Reaper?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You can't just walk in on our podcast?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Is it really good? It has the texture of the bread.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh gosh, really good, and so it's not too hot
with the Carolina Reaper pepper.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I put the whole thing in there.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I didn't know seeds and all. Yes, Oh my gosh, yesh,
you like it really?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Thank you all for you.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Sorry about that, everybody listening and watching. That was my husband.
My daughter in law here is a very accomplished and
talented baker of sour dough.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I am obsessed with it and I bake them sour
dough every week.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Every week I get a halapeno chadder low yeah gets
whatever you're making for him.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
He always makes me do like some weird spicy pepper things.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
So he's growing hobbin niaro's, yeah, And so he gave
her some hobbin niaros for some hobbin niaro bread. But
he's also growing ghost peppers, scorpions.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And carolina apparently.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
But he doesn't really know of them. And so he
thought when he saw a red hobin niero looking pepper
that it was just an overly ripe papennero or something.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
He thought it was. He told me it was a
Scotch bonnet.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Well that's a hobbin nyiro.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, He's like, it's a Scotch bonnet.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Thought it was like a red one.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
And so I took it home on Sunday and I'm like,
I'm gonna make him bread and I'm gonna surprise him.
I didn't even tell him I was making bread. I
brought it over and then he texts me today as
his bread's in the oven, He's like, oh, by the way,
February gave you is a Carolina reaper. I'm like, oh, okay,
well I put it in your bread.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You're gonna try it no matter what. So he's just
busting in to let her know that it was really good.
Sorry about that. So we were talking about truly getting
abdominal dialysis, yes, versus what other kind of dialom No.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Abdominal dialysis is pretty common it's for your kidneys.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, but I bet there was another type of dialysis
she could have got that was more hardcore that they
were starting with the abdominal dialysis. Yeah, I mean what
the other one was.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I think it's just how it's how it's fed through. Yeah.
I think for like kids, it's a little bit different
because they're so small and their bodies are so delicate,
Like it's different like for older people and stuff that
are getting dialysis and everything. But yeah, so they didn't
want to start her on dialysis at first because she
is such a little baby and they don't want to
put her through all of that. But because she had
(21:53):
she wasn't peeing, and she had no fluids in her
and she wasn't retaining anything, and her labs were all
out of whack, then they had to start the dialysis.
And I think there was like on like day seven
or eight or something like that, like she's in the
hospital for like a freaking week. I think total, she
ended up in the hospital for like eleven days yep,
which is insane for like a little three year old baby.
And the doctors were telling Christine and Cody, like, you know,
(22:16):
cases like this, we don't see the kids making out
of it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
So just FYI, that's a terrible thing to say to
a parent who's standing vigil over their daughter. Horrible as
having a cute kidney failure. And I just really felt
for Christine here because it seems like every night Cody
got to go home to Robin's house and stay with Robin,
(22:39):
and then in the morning he would check in with Christine,
who again has been standing or sitting or laying vigil
the entire time, with truly getting in and out of
her hospital bed, because Truly would call to her and say,
come with me, Mommy in the bed, and so she'd
get in the bed, but there's so much wires and
so many things that she couldn't stay in the bed.
And so but Cody gets to just be Disney dad
in the situation and like skip out of the hospital
(23:02):
and go back to his favorite wife and just call
in and get check ups. I mean, it's not like
he didn't care, and I'm not trying to say that
he doesn't. It's just like it's not something my husband
would do. That shit is not something I would do.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's what pissed me off about this because I'm just
like I think I saw a post about it on
Reddit a while ago of somebody saying like this would
have been an opportunity for polygamy to like really shine,
Like all three of the other wives that are home
with all of the other kids could have taken over
the forts and like taken over where Christine was gone
and where Cody was gone, so that way Cody could
(23:38):
be with Christine in the hospital with his little baby
three year old that is in kidney failure. But no,
Cody goes home and stays with Robin for some reason,
as if he's like super fucking helpful, like we saw
just last episode when he's when everybody's in San Francisco
and he's burning steaks and he can't deal with all
of these kids around. He has to have Aspen and
(23:58):
call her seventeen times to have her help and be
the parent because he can't manage any of the kids
because he doesn't want to. It's just like it kind
of pissed me off, honestly, like he should have been there.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
The absolutely, especially in the beginning. Yes, the first night
that truly's in the hospital, Christine obviously stays all night,
but Cody goes home because again, they're having a party
for Leon, and he wants to show up and let
everybody know what's going on. And then I think it's
the next day when Christine calls. Is it's the next
(24:29):
day when Christine calls and Mary gets the I forget
there's an update. Christine's calling. She's not getting better, yes,
and so Cody's going to have to go back to
the hospital. And so then we see Robin walk up
to her purple bedroom, which means we're in Robin's house
and wake up Cody, who's taking a nap in her
house and say, hey, like, it's not good. Actually, truly's
(24:49):
not getting better. The medicine's not helping. You need to
go back to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
So I don't know. I hate to judge other parents
obviously judge I am, but I'm like, so, you're a
Robin's house. Why aren't you at Christine's house. Why aren't
you with the siblings of Truly, especially Aspen and mckelthe
straighta who were probably really torn up about the fact
that their little sister that they were taking care of
because you're not a dad, Like, why wouldn't you be
(25:14):
with them, comforting them and being with them as you're
waiting for updates if you have to not be.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
At the hospital, you know, that's a good point, Like
why are you at Robin's house? Why aren't you at
Christine's where Christine is not available because she's in the
hospital with your kid? That? Oh God, that's what pisses
me off. I am totally judging Cody for it because
I'm just like, you're being kind of absent, dude. Yeah,
your wife needs you and your little baby needs you, right,
because we all know that if King Solomon was in
(25:42):
the hospital with kidney failure, Cody would have been there
the entire time I think it's happened twenty four to seven,
he would have been there.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
And it kind of lends itself to this idea that
you see floated around the community that like Cody never
really liked truly that much, or maybe never really bonded
with truly that much, didn't seem to really enjoy truly.
And I think it was in this last season SE's
in nineteen when Cody and Robin show up to Gwendolen's
engagement party, or or maybe it was Michelty and Tony's
(26:12):
house and they show up and truly sitting on the
couch and Cody doesn't even say hi to her, doesn't
give her a hug, doesn't even acknowledge her at eleven
or twelve years old or whatever she is at this time.
I don't think he ever bonded with her. I mean,
I think he cares about her, but not like cares
cares about her.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah. I think it's like a superficial like, oh no,
I'm a dad, I care about my kids, but you
don't actually care because if you did, your actions would
speak for that. And obviously, poor Cody like truly has
to watch this stuff back. I mean she probably isn't,
but you know what I mean, Like if she ends
up watching this stuff back, she'll see that her dad
wasn't even there like the entire time. While she's in
(26:54):
the hospital like dying basically like you're in kidney failure. Yeah,
like you have to be on dialysis and luckily a
miracle like it ends up working. But after like fourteen
hours of being on dialysis is when it starts to
finally work. Because they started her on it, it wasn't
working right away. And I think that was when Christine
called somebody like Mary or whatever and Cody's home and
(27:18):
Mary tells him, you can't come with me and Leon
to college, like you need to stay here for Christine.
Because Cody was gonna go. He was gonna go up
to Utah with Leon and Mary and see Leon off
in their dorm and like, I can understand that you
want to be involved for your kids, like big day.
I understand that it sucks for Leon to have all
(27:42):
of their college stuff overshadowed by this tragic like thing
that's happening with Truly. But the fact that Cody even
had that thought of like, no, I'm gonna be in
Utah with you guys, and Mary has to tell him
stay home, dude, stay home and be there for Christine.
It's like kind of crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yep, agreed.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And then I think after fourteen hours of dialysis it
starts to work, and then it wasn't working. And then
Cody says that he tried to get Truly to have
like a peepee poop poop party or something, and so
he takes credit for that.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yes, he takes credit for this. So in the eve
that she gets better and we're like, so we're ten
days in nine days and whatever it is, Cody decides
to have some sort of a rallying talk with truly,
like on a level that a three year old can understand,
and he asks her to please pee in your dip. Yeah,
and then you know, poop in your dip and let's
have a pee poop party.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And Christine's like, yeah, I actually saw like a little
sparkle in her eye when he said that, Like she
really got what he was asking for, and that gave her,
like what Cody is trying to say that that gave
her the inspiration, Yeah, to finally pee. I'm like, Okay,
I think it was the dialysis and I think this
is the functioning kidneys and stuff like that. But it
was really glaring to me how he felt the need
(29:03):
to take credit somewhat.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, oh, definitely for what.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Was happening with his child. I mean it's so narcissistic.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Oh yeah, communal narcissist. Like, oh, look at what I did.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
If I hadn't said that, right, I don't know where
we'd be.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, I'm like, shut the fuck up, dude. Meanwhile, you're
going back home to go and sleep in Robin's bed
while your kid is still in the hospital getting dialysis.
But like okay, and then it's like the ninth day
or something. Dialysis is finally working, She's finally being after
Cody saved the day and saved her life or whatever.
And I think this is where Aspen goes and visits
(29:36):
the hospital. Is this where we start seeing her breakdown
or was that before she.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Broke down a couple before. Yeah, she broke down a
couple of times. The first time was kind of early
into it, when the family gets together to pray and
Aspen is asked to lead the prayer, which again I'm like,
people pay attention to other kids in the world, right,
like pay attention to what's going on with Aspen, And
so Aspen starts to pray, but then she she breaks
down in the middle of the prayer and I felt
(30:02):
really bad for her, but yes she does. I think
towards the end go and visit a little truly, and
you can kind of just see the maternal bond, at
least from Aspen's side of it, Like she needed to
put eyes on this child, she needed to give her
a hug, she needed to be there for her because
she's essentially stand in mama.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, And then I think this is where Christine calls
the family and tells them that things are getting better
and that she Truly gets to go home the next day,
and everybody's super excited, and then they bring her home
the next day. The whole family greets her. I think
Leon's up in college though.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, I think. The day after Truly goes into the hospital,
Mary does take Leon up to Westminster and gets them
checked into the dorm. What do y'all.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Don I didn't moved into the dorm and Leon's really happy,
but at the same time, Leanna is very concerned about
Truly because that's Leon's.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Sister well, and Mary even says that, like, you know,
it's kind of sucks that Leon has this like really
exciting day of starting college and moving into the dorms,
and like how fun of an experience that is, but
it's coupled with this crazy thing with Truly, but Truly
ends up getting out of the hospital, she ends up
feeling a lot better. You can see the life coming
(31:24):
back into her face, and she's brought back home. The
whole family's excited, and then Christine says something about how
this whole experience like connected her and Cody better and Chris,
Cody and truly.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I think it was Okay. Christine says, this whole event
has caused me to really be present with my children,
Like when they're talking to me, I'm looking into their eyes. Yeah,
when they need something from me, I stop what I'm
doing and I am with them. Cody is the one
who says that's this medical event brought me closer to
(31:59):
truly and helped me to connect with Christine. It brought
us closer key again, so indicating and or implying that
they haven't been close mm hmm, and that there are
definitely issues in this relationship. Yeah, and it took this
terrible experience to get them to be together in even
close proximity. Yeah, like together in the hotel at the
(32:21):
hospital room from time to time, and that helped their relationship.
I'm like, Okay, what happens though, as soon as there's
not a medical problem. What happens as soon as like
you go back to Robin's mcmanson, where's Christine, Then she's
still taking care of all of these kids.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Well, And that's like where I'm thinking he's lying about that,
because I'm like, most of the time when health issues
and things like this happened between couples, it usually puts
a massive strain on the relationship because if I was Christine,
I probably would feel a little bit bitter about the
fact that my kid was sick on his watch while
I'm in San Francisco and he didn't pay attention to
(33:02):
the fact that she was fucking dehydrated, and he made
my eighteen year old and sixteen year old daughters take
care of my three year old baby that too.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Though Christine makes her children watch over her littles.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yes, but she's also still more of a present parent
than Cody is. Like Cody's in their burning steaks on
the gril. Yeah, So it's like, I don't know, I
don't know if Cody is just talking out his ass
here to try and like save face because he doesn't
want people to pick up on the fact at this
time that him and Christine and her family are struggling.
(33:34):
I'm just like, I'm wondering how Christine's feeling. But Christine
does say, like you'd said, she feels more close to
all of her kids. She doesn't want to take any
of the moments with them for granted, she's trying to
be more present with them. So it did help Christine
like realize, like, oh shit, I got to stop being
like all over the place. I need to focus on
what matters, which is my kids.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Right, And I thought that was wonderful, And then they
kind of tried to dovetail that into or roll that
into the upcoming commitment celebration. Like you know, you worry
about things and there's squabbles in the family, but like
this really reminds us of what is important, and it
is our family and it is our being together, and
so that really makes the celebration that's coming up much
(34:16):
more important, the focus of what we are building together
as the architects of our lives. Oh God, like, shut
the fu shut up.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This whole commitment ceremony is so dwn care. It's so
cursed too. I'm just like you're talking about this and
I'm like, we all know that this commitment didn't last.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Just called a sack. These roots never get a chance
to get burrowed into the death or watered because you
guys pick up and you leave.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
And you just like you always do, always, yeah, just
to run away from all their problems. It's crazy, but
we get into that preview. We talk about the commitment ceremony.
Nobody gives a shit. We talked to some contractor who
is talking about how polygamy is terrible, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Every single person, it's got to be every single proclaimed
to them that we are polygamists, and then hear what
their judgment is, Like, why do we care? We've been
doing this year after year after year after year.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And every single one says the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, I mean, they're nice people, but I would never live.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
That polygamy is terrible.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I'm tired of it. I stop doing this.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
It's so dumb.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
God.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
And then we have Mary going to her former employers
for some reason to tell them that she's a polygamist
because they've seen the show or something.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I'm like, why, no, No, I don't think it's because
they've seen the show. It's like she's telling them for
the first time. Is the way they're setting it up?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I mean, but you would imagine that they would have
heard that Mary Brown is on some television show that
they have learned by now that it's a polygamist. Again,
it's just this creating contents, producing episodes not authentic, and
so in season.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Six, Yeah, even though.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
There are definitely undercurrents that are quite interesting even in
this episode, Like we're already losing the plot. Yep, we're
already way too manufacturing these Yeah, and I'm getting bored
by it.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I'm so bored. And then the final thing in the
preview is that unfortunately Cody's brother Curtis passes away in
a tragic motorcycle accident, and so his family is having
to deal with that, and I think they go up
to Wyoming and everything for it. So next episode is
going to be really sad.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, they're having a very eventful summer.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yes, big yikes.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, lots going on with these Browns. You've been through
a lot. You gotta give it to them. They do
a lot, and they're still standing, at least for now.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah for now.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Well, is there anything else that we should say to
these beautiful raccoons before we get up on Ada Here Beach?

up recap of Welcome to PLAITHFORLL. We're gonna be covering

get to it. I'm like thinking, it's gonna be a
good season.
Speaker 2 (37:06):

think on Friday. Make sure you come back for that.
