81: Sister Wives - No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (S18E1) · Reality TV Cringe

0:10
Hey raccoon, Hey, our favorite raccoons. Welcome to Reality TV Cringe,
0:16
which is a podcast that loves to serve up all the trash that is fit
0:22
to eat and lucky for all the raccoons in the dumpster, we have so
0:25
much trash to go around, so much a dasia and we are here today
0:31
you're a arlerd Tortwoy three to discuss the first god damn episode Oh my god,
0:37
yes of Sister Wives season eighteen. I'm so glad that at least it
0:43
was available on Discovery Plus last night when it heard on TV, even though
0:48
it should have been available during the day it was last year. What the
0:52
fuck is that about? What the fuck is that? TLC? I just
0:54
feel like people don't care about us Discovery Plus. How much are we paying
1:00
for that? And we're paying for it separately, which is also a travesty.
1:02
But what is it like nine ninety nine or something like. I think
1:04
they're increasing the price too. I know, because every fucking streaming app now
1:07
has to increase their price for nothing when you remove all of the stuffs.
1:14
Max just went up too. I paused my Max because I'm like, now
1:18
you go on. It used to be HBO. Why would you, by
1:19
the way, why would you take the name HBO, which is one of
1:23
the most well known brands in the world, right and change it to a
1:26
fucking max. Yeah, that's stupid. And then you go on to the
1:30
the app and it's like littered with all this bullshit from all these different apps,
1:34
and I'm like, I'm confused. I'm a boomer. Make it easy
1:38
for me to find my fucking so why I'm so tired of all the micro
1:42
transactions and all these fucking streaming apps where they purposely spread out all their shit
1:48
so that way they can get more money from you. And I'm like,
1:49
Okay, if somebody has all of these apps, it's just as much as
1:53
cable. Yeah, that's how it's turning, especially if you also have Hulu,
1:57
right, and you also have YouTube TV, which is like when I
2:00
cut the chord with Hulu, I think we were paying almost one hundred dollars
2:04
a month, plus we had all these other fucking up So I'm paying more
2:07
than I when I had Comcast or when I had anything else. So yeah,
2:10
so I just wish Discovery Plus would give us the goods. I know
2:15
on Sunday morning, I think we released it last year or last season,
2:20
four a m. Eastern on Sunday morning, so you could wake up,
2:23
you could have your breckie, you could have your coffee, could watch fucking
2:27
Cody going crazy and make my day. I know. And everybody on Reddit
2:31
was so pissed about it, because I was sending you Reddit so I'm like,
2:35
girl, it's not available, and You're like, I called it.
2:37
I was so disappointed, but everybody on Reddit was just like, I literally
2:40
didn't even know. I got up this morning, made my breakfast, I
2:44
sat down to watch it and it wasn't even available. Yeah, And I'm
2:46
just like, do you know what your fan base is for Sister Wives?
2:51
Yeah? But I don't think CELC can actually control that because Discovery Plus was
2:54
sold to Warner which is owned Smacks. I don't know. It just moves
3:00
around and I guess like Disney Plus, Peacock and I think Paramount Plus,
3:06
all of these apps separately lost like half a billion dollars last year. Wow.
3:10
Yeah, so streaming is not doing so great. Wow. Yeah.
3:14
I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but all I know
3:16
is I better get my goddamn Sister Wives. That's all I care about.
3:20

6:10
right, So before we get into this episode, because there are a lot
6:13
of things to talk about, why don't we just kind of dive into our
6:16
general takeaways of this episode, starting with you, Beatrice, what are your
6:21
thoughts? Well, Cody's a piece of shit. His hair is even more
6:27
curly this season. I feel like it's really fucking tight, especially up here
6:30
near as bald spot. Robin cried twice, so I'm keeping a tally this
6:35
season. Did she cry well? No, her cries. Mary's really sad,
6:43
pathetic, low key Janelle. I feel bad for and Christine's just a
6:46
queen, I guess. So, I don't know. I think Christine's got
6:49
a little bit of that toxic positivity where she's just putting a smile on everything
6:55
and pretending that, you know, the entire family didn't just explode and that
7:00
she had something to do with it. Yeah, I mean, but I'm
7:02
wondering what is This is probably being filmed around Christmas twenty twenty one, so
7:06
she hasn't found David Woolley yet, so she's not getting the pipe as in
7:11
Speakway dot Com slash reality deeg Runch, he's not getting the pipe. So,
7:15
but she just seems so fucking happy and lighter to be away from Cody.
7:20
At the end of this episode, for example, when they are meeting,
7:25
it sells the bravide and he just wants he just wants to hate her
7:29
a little more, but he's got to show up for this fucking lunch.
7:31
She is so cute. She's laughing at his COVID ill and I'm laughing with
7:39
her. She's laughing at his COVID. She's just like, gotta have a
7:42
sense of humor about this shit. Yeah it's weird, let's laugh. And
7:46
he's like, I don't know how to laugh, I'm dead inside issues yeah,
7:51
and the devil. Yeah. We also learned about Janelle's situation and a
7:57
little bit of the finances came out with her guard to the land. So
8:00
again, this is November December twenty twenty one, and she's talking about needing
8:05
to pay off the land and build on the land within a certain time frame,
8:11
like a year. Otherwise the seller, because they creatively financed, and
8:15
so it's seller financed, the seller's going to be able to pull that note
8:18
and foreclose on this property. That's a wild Yeah. So she's worried about
8:24
it. Yeah, I mean rightfully so, because her name's on those plots
8:26
doo. Yeah, so it affects her. Yes. The other thing that
8:31
I thought was wild, and again we're going to get into it, is
8:33
Robin trying to pretend that she has no idea whether this family was messed up
8:41
all along? Did I just not see it? Did I just not know
8:43
it? Was I just like so happy and pretty and getting all of the
8:48
shine from Cody that I didn't understand that you were all fucked up in this
8:52
family. I thought this was a safe space for me to old rule.
8:54
I feel like I was lied to hate her such a fucking jokes. I
9:00
really hate her. Yeah, do not prefer her, No, do not
9:03
prefer her. So I just thought that this was interesting. But it's like
9:07
so many flashbacks. It was a lot of flashbacks. I know. I'm
9:13
like, we know what happened in season seventeen. You had the highest ratings
9:16
ever on season seventeen. We know what happened. We don't need the flashbacks.
9:20
But I was surprised, like pleasantly surprised that a lot of the sneak
9:24
peaks that we've been seeing we're mainly from like this episode, We've already kind
9:28
of seen them. So it wasn't like from the whole season. It's not
9:31
like they showed all of the sneak peaks hopefully from the whole season, all
9:35
the good ships. So well, we didn't see the shut the fuck up.
9:39
Yeah, that which is to be sneak peak. Yeah, or you
9:43
know, go away, fuck you, bye bye, see any of it.
9:46
Yeah. So, but that's Christmas time, so that's coming up right
9:48
around the corner. Yeah. So we start this episode with kind of a
9:52
state of the Union address as to the state of the Brown family marriages.
9:58
We have Coody going over to Janelle to help her pack up her fifth will
10:03
because obviously it's not going to work out not working out for her. And
10:07
here's another thing that kind of bothers me again is that she doesn't take adequate
10:11
responsibility for spending eighty four whole thousand dollars on a new fifth Wheel to like
10:18
basically stay out there indefinitely. Like I think she planned to stay out there
10:22
indefinitely with Savannah, which right there, that's a weird choice to make for
10:26
your almost eighteen year old daughter in the last year of her high school,
10:31
oh for sure. And she wanted it with Cody too, because she says
10:33
in this episode, she's like, I was kind of hoping for it to
10:37
be like a good, fun adventure for me and Cody, and it didn't
10:39
work out that way, So maybe that was also part of the motivation.
10:43
It's a fucking stupid choice and she should have ignored it is a stupid choice.
10:46
And now he's saying they don't have enough money to build the casita on
10:52
the land, She's saying, we absolutely have enough money, yeah, and
10:56
it's my turn to get some of that money. But when he comes over
10:58
to the fifth will. You can just feel between them that things are not
11:03
right. She also says that the Fifth Wheel in particler has put a strain
11:07
on their relationship. Yeah. Well, of course, because we saw in
11:11
season seventeen Cody was pissed that she even bought it, and he felt like
11:15
she was undermine and his authorite right because she just bought it without really telling
11:20
him talking to it about it. So yeah, I mean, of course
11:22
it's going to cause a rift for narcissist Cody Brown, right well. And
11:24
also Cody Brown wants all the money, of course, and if Janelle has
11:28
eighty four thousand dollars liquid to put down on a fifth Wheel, he's probably
11:33
thinking of all the ways he can spend that money. Why I get to
11:37
spend that money, I could have gotten another off brand Lexis or another truck.
11:43
We also have Janelle kind of talking about the situation between Cody and her
11:48
sons, and here is where we learn that it was Garrison who called Robin.
11:56
Yeah last year, last year from this year so twenty twenty or whatever,
12:00
when COVID was on and poppin, Garrison calls Robin and kind of accuses
12:05
her of keeping the families apart yeah, and he basically said, why can't
12:09
we see our dad? Right? Why is he not able to come over?
12:13
And I mean, I think it is totally all Robin. I feel
12:16
like Cody doesn't actually care that much about COVID restrictions and stuff like that.
12:22
I think he's only doing it because it's a great excuse to not be around
12:24
his family, and he just doesn't want to be at any of them.
12:28
Why is he so angry that everybody's leaving if he doesn't want to be around
12:31
his family, Why is he so upset and feeling betrayed because they want to
12:35
spend their holidays together in a loving environment. Well, because he's stupid,
12:39
But I also think it's because it's because he's like so attached to this like
12:46
patriarchal idea of what he needs to be, Like I'm the man of the
12:48
house and he's been he feels like he's being emasculated by the wives and the
12:54
kids for not respecting him, because again, respect is more important to me
12:58
than law. I don't know. I just feel like he's talking out of
13:01
both sides of his mouth here, Like he's saying, for example, regarding
13:05
Janelle, he's saying like she should be supporting me. I am tender after
13:11
the divorce from Christine. I'm like hurting, and so she should want to
13:16
take care of me and spend the holidays with me and make sure that aim.
13:18
Okay, plus, I just a COVID. My temperature went up to
13:22
ninety nine point nine degree farad faradise faradse I was fetal positioned in the corner,
13:30
and nobody careryep and not to like undermine people who actually had COVID and
13:37
like it's a terrible disease obviously, But Cody Brown is such a fucking baby,
13:43
such a bitch baby, And even Christine confirms that in this episode.
13:48
She straight up says that every time he had a fucking cold, the world
13:52
had to revolve around him and everybody had to take care of him and do
13:54
his fucking duty. It's like or his bidding. It's like the what's the
14:00
word for men who have cold? Like man cold? Man cold? Yeah,
14:03
nine one, it's a man cold? God is your husband like that?
14:05
When he say, well, he's kind of tough. He's a tough
14:09
guy. But like I think all men kind of just get like that when
14:13
they get sick because they want to be taken care of they want to,
14:18
and Cody is no different. I think Cody is probably far worse. Yeah,
14:24
at the end of this particular segment, we have Cody saying something like,
14:31
everybody had a choice. Christine made the choice, divorced me. Mary's
14:37
got a choice, I've got a choice. Everybody's making their goddamn choices.
14:43
I really don't appreciate people acting like victim. That was wild is crazy.
14:50
Do you not hear yourself speaking out of your mouth? I hear you.
14:56
No, You're nuts. He doesn't fucking get it, Like he has zero
15:01
sense of of self awareness, zero accountability. I'm like, dude, you've
15:05
been acting like a victim this entire fucking time. Everything's happening to you because
15:09
you didn't do anything wrong. You've been a perfect husband, even though you
15:13
didn't want to fuck any of your wives except Robin, and thought that everyone
15:18
should just be okay with that. Everyone should just be okay with you spending
15:22
one hundred percent of your time with Robin at your house with Robin. He
15:26
doesn't say anybody else's house as his house. It's just Robin's house. He's
15:28
just fucking wild to me. He's insane to me, because, like even
15:33
when he goes to Saal Sabrava, all he's talking about it is his COVID
15:35
and how bad it was for him. He's being a victim. In his
15:39
talking head about sal Sabrava, he's talking about how he needs a season to
15:43
just be able to hate Christine because of everything that Christine did, like taking
15:46
truly early, like leaving him in the first place, like victim. It's
15:50
just crazy to me that there are people on this planet that don't have any
15:54
insight, like to actually see themselves from a three sixty view, and the
15:58
kind of shit that they do. I guess we call those kinds of people
16:03
narcissists one hundred percent, And you think he's actually a narcissist, I think
16:07
so. I think he's got a lot of I'm not a doctor, I'm
16:08
not a psycholor, don't come for me, but watch leggings. You're not
16:14
a doctor. Okay, no, but for real, Like, I feel
16:18
like he's got a lot of the tendencies for it. Like he just is
16:21
so fucking self absorbed. Everything is about him, and like with his obsession
16:25
with fame that we've been seeing in some of these earlier seasons on our rewinds,
16:29
like, it's just crazy how much of anarchy is And I don't know
16:33
if he was always like that. It seems like there was a definite change
16:37
when Robin came into the picture from what the other wives are saying, but
16:42
he's definitely developed it. Maybe it's because of the fame. Maybe I'm not
16:47
sure. It's just it's just crazy to me, like that he could see
16:52
himself on camera and not be able to take inventory of his own issues.
16:56
I'm really curious because again, we are still watch the latter half of the
17:00
last season. Again, we're still in twenty twenty one. After they tell
17:04
all airs and all of us had been going crazy for months about how terrible
17:10
Cody and Robin are. I hope they're still filming because I want to see
17:14
how they start to change the way they appear, yes, and change the
17:18
way they talk about these relationships, because I think they're going to get that
17:22
things are in trouble, yeah, and that people's preferences and alliances lie with
17:27
Janelle, with Christine and even Mary yet over Robin and Cody. I want
17:32
to see that's so bad. I want to see that's so bad. I
17:34
mean, there was a recent article I think it was on People dot Com
17:37
and it was an exclusive, and Cody was talking about this season and everything
17:41
that's going on, and he was talking a lot about forgiveness and I need
17:45
to forgive them, but they need to forgive him too, And he does
17:51
admit that he's made a lot of mistakes that he's kind of now presently in
17:55
the year of A three, in a more optimistic place. He also said
17:59
at the end of this article that he's actually hoping for reconciliation with Janelle.
18:04
Interesting, he wasn't money now back. I don't know. I always thought
18:08
there was a very deep companionable bond between he and Janelle. Yeah, and
18:15
you know, Janelle said in this episode that she and Cody fell out and
18:18
had problems throughout their marriage history, like and we know that she left two
18:23
or three times, actually left the marriage two or three times because she was
18:27
so displeased with Cody, but she always ends up coming back to him.
18:32
Do we think that she's going to do that again? I hope please.
18:36
I hope not. But maybe they'll be friends, because I mean they've always
18:38
kind of described their relationship as like they've been best friends, and maybe he
18:42
does have more of a I don't know, amicable relationship with her than Robin,
18:48
Like Robbin's probably not as emotionally intelligent or intelligent, intelligent intelligent in general
18:57
as Janelle is. And Janelle's just like such a catch. I just think
19:00
she's like got a good head on her shoulders, Like you know, she
19:03
makes mistakes and stuff, but I would love to be her friend. Can
19:06
you imagine Cody and what would be going on in his interior world when he
19:11
hears that Janelle catches her a rancher or something, some outdoors man with a
19:18
nice beard, maybe got a log cabin somewhere in Montana and he's given it
19:22
to her. Good. Can you imagine how Cody is going to feel on
19:26
the inside to know that Janelle found her a better man from your lips to
19:30
God's ears. And I would love to see that happen. Any man would
19:36
be a better man, oh for sure. An Okay, So the next
19:41
segment, we have Christine going over to Janelle's new dormitory apartment that she's got
19:48
with Savannah. This looks like an apartment that I would have probably rented when
19:51
I was in my twenties, but of course the rents are very high.
19:55
Especially in flag stuff. But like, I feel bad for her because Robin's
19:59
over there in the fucking mcmanchon. Oh my god, Mary has a mcmanchon.
20:03
She's renting it, she doesn't own it. And Christine had owned her
20:06
house and sold her house for quite a nice prophet and she's in a fucking
20:10
RV of her own design and now in this dormitory apartment. But wasn't it
20:14
nice to see Christine walk in with her big smile and her good vibes.
20:18
Oh my god, And she was just like being a friend. And this
20:21
is the first time Christine's seen the apartment. I wonder what she thinks of
20:23
it. She's putting on just a good friend face and making the best of
20:27
it, same way she did when she initially saw the RV. She was
20:30
like, Oh, this is awesome. Could could never be me? Oh
20:37
god. But I love Christine and Janelle's relationship too. She's coming over.
20:41
Christine's coming over to help her assemble a bookshelf, which I found to be
20:47
particularly funny because as we're doing these rewinds of the early seasons, like anytime
20:52
there's a move, anytime somebody's going to move the dresser from the bedroom into
20:56
some other room. Anytime we're assembling anything, Jody is nowhere to be found.
21:02
Never it's the wives putting all the fucking shit together, And so here
21:06
we are. Christine's not even married to him anymore, and she's the one
21:08
who's coming over to the dormitory apartment to assemble the new Ikea bookshelf, of
21:14
course, because they all know Cody wouldn't do it. Cody's like, have
21:18
you been COVID tested yet? I can't come over, I know, But
21:21
then it goes to salsa Brava. I know he goes to We'll talk about
21:25
that when we get there, because it's the whole COVID fuck shit. But
21:27
I can't. There was an interesting part during this visit with Christine and Janelle
21:33
where they were talking about their first impressions of themselves, and Janelle was like,
21:38
I didn't like her. I thought she was a princess, a princess,
21:42
and Christina, I guess thought she was bossy, which I think Cody
21:48
actually said that about Christine. I don't know like Christine said that. Yeah,
21:52
yeah, I can see that though, because Janelle's also a Taurus.
21:55
Yeah, y'all can be bossy, so am I, well, whole fuck
22:00
Christine's and harries I know, so she's crazy. So as they are working
22:04
on the bookshelf and such, and they're talking about the beautiful assistant and how
22:08
Cody likes to have a beautiful assistant anytime he's working on anything, we also
22:15
get to the subject of the casita. Janelle goes ahead and she pulls out
22:21
the plans. She shows them to Christine. Christine's like, oh my god,
22:23
this is so awesome. Wait twelve hundred scorefeto really And I was like,
22:29
yeah, it'll be good, it'll be perfect, because Janelle has to
22:33
just settle for anything, because at this point she's like, I just want
22:36
a home to live in and something to give to my kids when I die.
22:41
That's it, right, And Christine is again putting on a brave face,
22:45
but to the camera she's like, yeah, I'm like, I'm acting
22:47
happy, but I know she's not going to be able to build on that
22:49
land until they actually pay off Coyote Pass. And that's just what's so sad,
22:55
because Janelle like genuinely seems excited about it and genuinely wants this to happen.
23:00
And I know that this was her part of her motivation for getting the
23:03
fucking fifth Will was to go out there and maybe light a fire under everybody's
23:08
for somebody's hands something right to do it out there. And she's the only
23:14
one that even tried to go out to the land and try and start building
23:18
anything. And Cody's She's like, no, we get paid off. Yeah,
23:22
exactly. To the camera, He's like, it's much easier for us
23:23
to actually pay for a down payment on a home than to pay off the
23:27
property. And I can understand that's probably the difference of like, I don't
23:30
know, fifty to one hundred thousand dollars versus five hundred thousand dollars. But
23:34
Janelle at the same time too, the camera says, we have the money,
23:37
just like we had the money for Robin when Robin bought that big fucking
23:41
house, that one million dollar house, Just like we had the money for
23:45
Christine. We have the same situation, but now it's me and the circumstances
23:49
have changed. Now all of a sudden, we can't afford it. Yeah,
23:52
I'm not a priority, and like that's why when Cody was saying that
23:56
shit about we don't have the money, I'm like, that's a cruck of
23:59
shit it You are either hiding money and funneling it over to you and Robin's
24:03
lllc's, or you're just blatantly telling Janelle, yeah, you don't matter.
24:07
You just don't matter. And or he's punishing her because she paid eighty four
24:12
thousand dollars for a fifth whale and he's like, yeah, so you paid
24:15
for that and that's what you got. I'm not going to give you any
24:18
more money. But like, is he the final say in where the money
24:22
goes, how the money moves. I mean, isn't it a collaborative effort?
24:26
I wonder if he is, because he's the patriarch. Maybe it's like
24:29
you have to have yes is from everybody. If you have one, no,
24:32
nobody can do it. Just like when Mary wanted to purchase the B
24:36
and B with the family, but they said no, so she went and
24:38
did it on her own. That might be what it is, because they've
24:41
talked about that before that everything is kind of more collaborative. But I mean,
24:45
if Cody's really the only one saying no, so then I guess Robin
24:51
and Mary are the ones that are being like, yeah, no, I
24:53
don't know. I would really love to Carol from Mary. I mean,
24:56
I think Robin saying no, I don't think Robin wants any of the money,
25:00
but I would I would think that Mary would be open to it,
25:03
but I'm not sure. I don't. I mean, this is what I'm
25:06
saying. I wish you guys would be more transparent, please, I wish
25:07
you guys would be more open. Yeah. The conversation kind of moves over
25:11
to Cody and Janelle is talking about the situation with Gabe and Garrison, and
25:18
Christine's asking about the holidays, and Janelle tells her, yeah, we're not
25:22
going to Robin's house. I mean but so literally not yeah, and Christine's
25:26
shocked by this. In her talking head, She's like, they're not going,
25:30
They're not spending Christmas together. She's like, that makes me nauseous.
25:33
This is crazy. She also asked like, is it me, Like,
25:37
is it something that I did that caused you all not want to be together?
25:41
And Janelle's like, no, he's just angry. Yeah, he's just
25:42
mad all the time. And he doesn't want to take accountability with the kids,
25:47
like he wants to be this patriarchy. He wants to, you know,
25:52
have this kind of leadership and authority, but he's not willing to do
25:55
the work. And he actually is saying with his mouth, I'm tired.
25:57
I don't want to keep working to keep this family together. And she's like,
26:00
well, that's what a polygamist husband does, you keep this shit together,
26:04
right, And she doesn't she say to Christine in this moment, like,
26:07
isn't that your responsibility as the husband in a polygamist family, Like you
26:11
have to take on that burden you have if your family is fucked up and
26:15
dysfunctional, then you need to work to fix it. Yep. And he
26:18
just doesn't want to do it. And maybe that's because he doesn't want to
26:21
be a polygamist anymore and he just doesn't have the balls. He doesn't just
26:23
say it. Well, he did say it a little bit. Probably he's
26:26
passive aggressive when he said it, But I think he's been signaling that he
26:30
doesn't want to well, and I think he only says that after they start
26:33
leaving though, right, So it's not like I feel like he's been pushing
26:37
away the wives this whole entire time. Now, he's been saying it since
26:41
nobody's signed off except for Janelle on The Big House. Oh really, Yeah,
26:48
when they would meet out at the Coyote Pass and they'd be at that
26:51
fucking picnic table. He's just like, I'm getting tired of this. Maybe
26:52
I'm not meant for polygamy. This family is holding me back. Or I
26:57
don't remember exactly what he said, but I think like for some time now
27:00
he's been signaling passive aggressively that he's just not into it. And after Janelle
27:06
talks about Gabe and Garrison, we have that talking head from Cody where he's
27:08
just like, yeah, I'm not going to have these kids over to my
27:11
house during the holidays, you know, when we haven't worked our shit out,
27:15
and maybe some fucked up political shit starts to happen, and I'm not
27:19
letting that stupidity in my house. So you've called your kids narcissists and now
27:25
you're calling them stupid, And like, what does he mean by the political
27:29
shit? I know we talked about this on our live reaction, but I'm
27:30
like, what is it? Is it the COVID. It's the COVID,
27:34
and that's just so bizarre. I think it's probably I mean, if I
27:37
were to guess, and if I would put my fake psychic hat on,
27:40
I would guess that Cody and Robin are not vaccinated, and yet they're incredibly
27:45
strident about the rules that they are imposing on this family, so much so
27:48
that the family is breaking apart. Garrison and Gabe are incredibly worried about this.
27:53
Plus they see how their mother is being neglected, and so it's the
27:59
audiencity for me and for them. I think that he's not even willing to
28:03
get vaccinated to come around and see them and his mom, but he wants
28:07
to go crazy on these COVID rules. So I think maybe Cody's painting that
28:11
as a political stance versus a No, that's a common sense stance, mister
28:18
Salsa Brava. Yeah, I mean it's hypocritical just by definition. I just
28:22
wonder why he's claiming it to be political, and like if he's supposed to
28:26
be like a manisphere quanon fucking weirdo, and like, wouldn't all of these
28:32
COVID restrictions be antithetical to that to like your political stance, because those people
28:36
were not. That's what I'm like. I think he's crazy. I think
28:40
he's legitimately afraid of getting COVID because we see him get COVID and we see
28:44
how much he falls the part, of course, and he just has an
28:45
absolute breakdown. And then of course Robin goes to the emergency clinic and she
28:49
films herself having a hard time breathing or whatever, and so like, I
28:53
think they're actually afraid of COVID so they don't want to get it, But
29:00
then they're not willing to get vaccinated. They're not willing to actually do the
29:03
one thing that they're being told at the time to do to protect the family.
29:07
So I just I don't know. Politically, I would think that Gabe,
29:11
well maybe not Gabe, but Garrison, Hunter and Cody probably have similar
29:18
type of political framework. But like, what the fuck do I know?
29:22
I don't know anything. I mean really well, And I guess that makes
29:23
sense too, because Janelle said last season, like, we're fucking vaccinated,
29:27
for christ sakes, and you still won't come and see us. So he's
29:32
just I just I can't. It makes me so fucking mad, Like,
29:36
how can you justify not being around your family and not being around your kid,
29:40
not going to Isabelle's surgery because dead going to a wedding in Oklahoma and
29:44
spinning around on the floor like a fucking crazy person having a fucking nanny that
29:48
comes and goes right when it ultimately ends up giving you COVID. Yes,
29:52
but apparently not everybody gets COVID. Later we learn does not getting the COVID.
30:03
Wow, whatever, dude, why don't we take a little breaky pooh
30:06
right now? We've got to keep these beautiful yea, So we got to
30:10
run some ads. But if you don't want the ads, you can always
30:12
sign up for our Patreon because that ship is ad free for real, Yes,
30:17
for real, for real. We'll be back on the other side to
30:18
talk a little bit more about Sister Wives. We are back talking Sister Wives,
30:26
and here we get into the part of this episode that just had me
30:32
crazy apoplectic. This is where Mary comes over to visit Robin, and Robin
30:40
happens to see her out of her window and she hurries out of her side
30:45
door and like fucking shuts her door and doesn't let Mary inside of the house.
30:49
Usher is Mary over to that fucked up bench. It's just d Yeah,
30:55
it's like November in Flagstaff and it's very cold, and Mary didn't dress
31:00
appropriately and I'm just like, why aren't you inviting your literal only ally into
31:07
your warm home on a cold day to have this fucked up produced discussion,
31:14
dude, and I watched it again today and it was even more fucked up
31:18
today because Mary comes in and Robin just ran to the door and closed it
31:22
before anybody could come in, especially production. And Mary's like, it's cold,
31:27
Robin. Like she's straight up, it's like it's fucking cold out here,
31:32
Robin. And Robin's like, oh, well, you got so many
31:34
jackets for Christmas last year, why didn't you bring any I know? And
31:38
so then goes inside to grab Cody's jacket, and this is where it was
31:42
so pathetic for Mary. Yes, grabs Cody's jacket, brings it out and
31:47
she said, here, it's Cody's and Mary's like, oh, it'll feel
31:49
like a warm hug from him. And this is where Robin fucking laughs at
31:53
her for saying that, and it's really fucking sad. So you don't think
31:57
that was just like an awkward laugh from Robin. You think it was like
32:00
a ha I thought you'll ever get from Cody. Probably, Like I think
32:06
the underlying undercurrent of that is being like yeah, I know, like you
32:10
don't have to say it, but it's fucking sad because any normal person I
32:14
wouldn't laugh at that. I'd be like, well, what's going on with
32:17
you and Cody? But I'm, you know, a person that has capacity
32:21
for compassion, right or Yeah, if you're a plural wife and you believe
32:24
in polygamy and want to keep your family together, you're like, well,
32:28
how can I help? Like, what's what's happening? I'm your sister wife,
32:30
Like, I'm here for you, and you can come in my house
32:32
and warm up if you'd like to, right, or even fucking like I
32:35
said in our reaction, sit on my fucking heated driveway. It's better than
32:37
sitting on this cold ass bench. I just can't even believe the inhospitable the
32:43
inhospitability, yeah, the inhospitable nature. What the fuck Robin did? Like
32:47
she ran out of that house before Mary had an opportunity to even knock on
32:52
the door to keep her from coming into the house. And we were talking
32:54
last night when we were watching, like why is Robin doing this? Is
32:59
Robin an actual hoarder with narrow pathways lined by boxes and figurines in her house?
33:07
Or is Robin hiding what she has in the house because she knows.
33:12
There's there's a disparity between the wealth that she has and the things that she
33:16
has and the ship that somebody like Janelle has in her dormitory apartment. Maybe
33:21
that. But then we saw a flashback in this episode to where they filmed
33:24
at Robin's house. It was like Thanksgiving or something, and Mary was there,
33:29
and so they were up in the upstairs in her dining room area.
33:32
You can see the living room with all of her precious moment figurings, and
33:36
then the fucking kitchen. So like, if you were a hoarder, you
33:39
obviously cleaned up for that particular scene a Thanksgiving. So I'm like, why
33:44
couldn't you have done that? Now, Listen, I don't think she's a
33:46
literal hoarders. Probably not. I have watched the show Hoarders. Yeah,
33:51
there are two rivulets of fecal streams and matter coming down hallways. There's that
33:55
fucking awful toilet that we have done with them. Listen. There there's a
34:02
different level if you're a hoarder. Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily that.
34:07
I think Robin's trending toward that. I think she probably definitely has some
34:12
kind of a shopping problem. Yeah, And I don't think she wants to
34:15
show the other wives and also America the kinds of things that she has.
34:22
I think, I mean, because you're on this fucking show and the only
34:24
means of your livelihood other than Cody's gun stuff is the show. So why
34:30
wouldn't you want to bring the show into your house introduce them to your kids.
34:32
We don't know your fucking children. We don't know them at all.
34:36
All we know is they have panic attacks and they cry and they're bitchy to
34:37
Savannah in the RV. Right, and even in that flashback with Mary and
34:42
everything and everyone at Thanksgiving, like the kids were fucking weird, Like they
34:45
were just standing there. They weren't like happy, screaming or anything like that.
34:50
They were just fucking chilling out. And Ari, Who's like, I
34:52
don't know how old she was, but she had a fucking binky. I
34:55
think she's five. I'm like, what five? That's a normalist. I
35:00
know. I don't think it's normal. It's been a while I've met a
35:01
baby, but I don't think it's normal. I don't think you want that
35:04
for their teeth and as they need to develop proper coping mechanisms to be a
35:07
human in the world. But like look at Brianna and Aurora, they don't
35:10
have proper coping mechanisms to be human beings in this world, not at all.
35:15
So I don't really know other than she just doesn't like Mary and no,
35:19
bitch, you're not coming in my house. That's just so bizarre.
35:22
I felt no actual connection and or warmth between Mary and Robin. I feel
35:29
like Robin is definitely putting on for the cameras. I think Mary would like
35:32
there to be a connection, but there just isn't one. It was just
35:37
all fucking forced right, definitely, And like maybe at the beginning when Robin
35:42
was on Mary's good side and she was totally manipulating Mary into loving her and
35:49
accepting her into the family, they had something going on. But I wonder
35:53
what shifted it. Maybe the catfish, Maybe the catfish. Maybe I just
36:00
don't think Robin ever meant it. I think Robin was just always jockeying for
36:04
position. She was trying to be the HBI c she got there, she
36:08
dethroned Mary, and I think she doesn't actually care about her. I don't
36:13
think she cares about anybody, Like when she's talking about Garrison and Gabe and
36:17
Cody wanted them to call Robin and apologize, and she's pretending that she never
36:22
said she wanted an apology for I am, I just you know, I
36:27
want I don't know who these boys are. There was a there was a
36:30
statement that she made like I don't know these boys. I don't know this
36:32
family, Like who are these people? Yeah, she keeps saying that these
36:37
people are these people not like my boys, right, my children? So
36:42
I just I think it's stepmom. Yeah, and she's just trying to fool
36:45
Listen, she ain't fool in me, girl. No. And even with
36:47
I forgot to say this earlier when we're talking about Janelle and Christine at her
36:51
fucking dorm apartment, there was a snippet where Robin said, I didn't want
36:54
to buy a house. I've always wanted to denail Alan And I'm like,
36:58
really, you didn't want to buy a else when you bought a multimillion dollar
37:01
mc mansion with a heated fucking driveway, right, are you kidding me?
37:05
Yeah, she says she doesn't want to buy a house. She wanted to
37:07
build on the land. She really wanted to build on that land, but
37:10
just I don't know. A few weeks ago, when they were in her
37:15
side yard, Janelle, Mary, Cody and her and Cody and Janelle are
37:20
having this big fight. Janelle asks are directly, do you still want the
37:22
big house? And she's like, after all this and COVID, no,
37:27
she never wanted that fucking big ever, never ever, And this again is
37:30
what kills me, Like she actually thinks we buy this, she actually thinks
37:35
that we believe this. She thinks we're fucking stupid, and that's why she
37:37
goes on this rant with fucking Mary and being like, well, I feel
37:42
like I was lied to. I feel like I was doing that's such a
37:45
joke. Before we get there, because I have to talk to you about
37:47
that. Let's talk about the fucking Thanksgiving turkeys, because Mary is there basically
37:53
to talk about the holidays and what's the family doing. And they're reiterating that
37:58
the family's not going to be to Yeather, it's just going to be Mary
38:00
and Robin again this year. Yeah, last year, Mary made a rice
38:05
crispy turkey because Cody prefers Robin's turkey, and to the camera, Mary starts
38:13
laughing and she's like, oh, I mean I guess he's supposed to like
38:16
all everybody's turkey. Yeah, mine's sweet and hers is savory. But he
38:21
signed up to like everybody's turkey. So she's talking about there, but Jen,
38:28
she's talking about their Virginia. I mean, I think the joke is
38:31
that it's it sounds like it's about the Virginia's, but she's really talking about
38:35
like the wives. Like you're supposed to love and support your why right,
38:39
And he's not doing that. And so, and she has nowhere else to
38:44
go because Robin's like, so, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? She's
38:46
like, well, I mean I got nothing else going on. Yeah.
38:50
Robin's like, well, I don't know, because Leon and this or that.
38:52
And she's like yeah, no, I mean I've gotten nowhere to go.
38:54
And she's like, oh, I guess it's just me and you this
38:57
year. So sad, So fucking dude, so fucking sad. Meanwhile,
39:01
Robin's and her make mansion with her kids and her family, and she's like,
39:05
well, it's gonna be fine for me because I get to have my
39:07
husband, I get to have a complete family. And she's trying to get
39:10
Mary to be on board with a holiday with them, so that way maybe
39:15
they can gang up on Janelle and Christine and be like, well, we
39:19
had a holidaise together, we care about the thing. It sounds like a
39:22
complete drag and nobody would ever want to go to your house, not Robin.
39:27
And we also get a little bit of Mary talking about her relationship with
39:31
Cody. Yeah, and the interesting part was about like the celestial kingdom,
39:36
because Mary was saying that people probably online, probably on fucking Instagram, probably
39:42
us tell her all. It's probably directly talking about us. People say basically,
39:46
the only reason you're with Cody is because you want to go to heaven
39:50
or you want to go to your celestial kingdom. And she's like, you
39:52
don't know me. Yeah, I'm married Cody because I loved Cody. I
39:57
stayed with Cody. I'm staying with Cody because I want to spend my eternity
40:01
with Cody. So fucking said, be it just that broke my heart because
40:07
she was nineteen when they got married, so of course she believes that she
40:12
wants so much. Course I just felt like, wow, I feel so
40:16
very bad for you, Mary. And this is around the time we get
40:21
into the conversation that Robin starts to bring up to set up the idea that
40:27
narrative fucking duped by this family, Like I thought I was coming into a
40:32
safe family for my gives And did I miss something, Mary? Did I?
40:38
Did I miss that there was an issue in the family, like with
40:42
Christine and with everybody, And Mary at this point says yeah. She just
40:46
says that, I don't know what Robin's thinking, like because if she thought
40:52
our family was perfect, she had blinders on, because we were a good
40:55
family. We had our problems like every fucking family does, but we were
41:00
good. And then I think there's a clip of Janelle and her talking head
41:04
saying that there was a definite shake up when Robin came into the family and
41:08
they never were able to get settled again. Yes, And then Christine says,
41:12
once Robin came into the family, we didn't practice any of our family
41:16
traditions ever again. Yeah, And she said that, like we never did
41:21
anything together right again? Is that true? Though? Like I thought they
41:23
did shit well for camera for the camera, So that was interesting because I
41:28
think Christine said it twice. I know we never did it again, and
41:31
I don't know why. And I'm not blaming Robin but yes, you are
41:35
kind of here. I'm not blaming Robin, but like everything changed as soon
41:38
as she came into the family. Of course she did. Of course,
41:42
again wicked stepmom vibes of like, oh, well, we can't do those
41:45
old family traditions because it doesn't include me amamily, So we need to create
41:51
new traditions, as you know, a quad group of people, like we
41:54
need to have our own traditions. But which is we're writing everything kills me
42:00
here? Is like she's trying to make it out like she did nothing to
42:05
shift, change and or destroy this family, like she thought everything was great,
42:08
Like this family is actually unsafe for me and unsafe for my children.
42:14
What a fucking joke. I just can't even I'm like, oh my god,
42:17
are you even are you really trying to do this right now? Like
42:21
she really thinks we're fucking stupid. I know, she really thinks that's stupid
42:24
people think other people are also stupid. Of course, stupid people cannot imagine
42:30
outside the parameters of their own fucking stupidity. So don't understand that there's two
42:35
mega galaxy brains like you and me, Beatrice that are watching her behavior and
42:38
everybody else in the stumpster. Yeah, everybody in the stumpster can see that
42:42
you're stupid and that you're trying to manipulate us. We don't believe you.
42:45
Furthermore, Comma, we have been watching for eighteen seasons. We've seen you
42:50
directly be manipulative. We've seen you directly be out of integrity. At the
42:55
fucking beginning of your relationship with Cody, of course, kissing and probably fucking
43:00
before marriage were totally she was probably pegging Cody. I mean dreams in your
43:09
dream she was pegging Cody Italy. That's why he's addicted. Of course,
43:14
I'm addicted to all the things you do. A fucking honeymoon too, and
43:22
the fucking wedding dress. Shit, I'm just like every step along. She
43:25
was the first wife to get a house when they got to Vegas. She's
43:30
the first wife to get the fucking all that furniture. I mean, come
43:34
on, Robin, it's a joke. Well, and then I also didn't
43:37
like how she was framing the question to Mary, of like, well,
43:39
we're there are things I didn't know, And when I watched it again today,
43:44
I'm like, is she talking about like the relationships between everybody, like
43:47
between Cody and Christine and Cody and Mary, and and I'm like, so,
43:52
now it's your business to know what goes on in the marriages. I
43:55
thought several seasons ago, even in the earlier seasons, you guys are supposed
43:59
to keep your relationships private. Don't look at my orange. You've got an
44:02
apple over there. Yes. So now she's fucking basically begging Mary to be
44:08
like, what's going on here because maybe she doesn't know, just trying to
44:13
get married to speak out of turn about potential issues that, in particular Christine
44:17
and Cody had, because she's asking about Christine, how did you feel about
44:21
our conversation with Christine when Christine said she doesn't want to be our friend anymore,
44:24
which said, thank you producers. You show the flashback where Christine actually
44:29
said I just need a little space, like I fucking have to heal.
44:30
Is that all right? Damn? Yeah, it's a natural thing to want,
44:34
right, But both Mary and Robin took from that conversation that Christine wanted
44:39
nothing to do with them, which is crazy. So they're talking about Christine
44:43
and how hurt they are that Christine has left, and you know, Mary
44:46
was mad and her secondary emotion was anger, but that her primary emotion was
44:52
hurt, and I believe her, although I think she handled it terribly.
44:54
But like, this is all a conversation about Christine, and so when Robin
44:59
starts talking about were there any issues she's talking about Christine, she's hoping Mary
45:04
will start outing details about Cody and Christine's marriage to get it on camera for
45:08
you and me and all the raccoons to eat in the stumpster. But Mary
45:13
didn't do it, and she didn't. Do you notice the difference. I'm
45:16
sorry, I'm going on a tirade. No, do you notice the difference
45:20
between Mary talking to Robin outside freezing her ass off because she's not invited into
45:24
the home versus Mary on the couch because it's like something has changed or she's
45:30
the little fucking lightbulb has gone off and she's starting to realize, oh,
45:35
this bitch is playing me. Oh totally well. She even says on the
45:38
couch, I thought this is kind of an interesting comment. She was like,
45:40
I have Robin's back, even though I may not agree with everything she
45:45
thinks, says or does, so I'm like, okay. And the context
45:50
for that was Robin saying that she and Mary and Janelle should pick up the
45:54
torch for Cody. And this is the other thing that Drew just drove me
45:59
fucking crazy the Olympic, that Cody is so burdened and so hurt in his
46:06
season of fucking hatred. He's so angry, and he's been working so hard
46:10
to keep this family together. It's our turn to pick up the torch and
46:15
do it for Ody. Oh my god, what the fuck was this conversation.
46:23
I'm like, Robin, you are fucking ridiculous crazy, you are de
46:29
Lulu? Did you hit your head? My girl? Are you here right
46:32
now? I think? Am I here right? I think it's her quiter
46:37
ventriloquized. We have to take that out of the Like why we kept put
46:43
that out of the general public. It's not okay only the patrons get to
46:46
hear about that. But I mean that's when Mary said to camera, She's
46:52
like, I don't Cody's not going to fucking accept my support. Yeah,
46:54
Like, even if I pick up this torch and want to support my family
46:59
and bring it back together, he wants nothing from me, nothing at all.
47:01
And so maybe that's the light bulb that finally let the fire under her
47:06
ass to be like, yeah, I'm better than this. I don't need
47:08
to be groveling over a man who doesn't totally I this is And I told
47:14
you last week that this is going to be the slight redemption art yea for
47:20
Mary with me, because she's going to really try one more time, like
47:23
the old college try last gasp. She's gonna try and go demonstrate to Cody
47:29
and fucking Robin Yeah, that she's loyal, that she wants to be there.
47:31
I'll be here for the fucking holidays. I'm not going anywhere else.
47:36
And she's still going to be rejected, so fucking sad. I just don't
47:39
look forward to seeing that because I just feel for her. She may not
47:43
be a good person. I don't know. Allegedly she's abusive, but I
47:45
just like, man, you spend all of your life with this man,
47:50
like half your life with this man, and you love him, you love
47:52
him, and you want him back yep. And you've been crying for help
47:57
for years now because he's just been neglected you for seven to eight years.
48:00
He says that they haven't had a functional marriage, which means they haven't been
48:04
foken and she cried for help with the fucking catfish, Like, yeah,
48:07
it wasn't right for her to cheat on him, but I will always be
48:12
team Marry with you to the catfish. And when that conspiracy theory came out
48:15
that Robin knew about Mary getting catfish, not necessarily that she put the catfish
48:22
up to it, but that she knew about it vicariously and she was kind
48:25
of watching it go down, like I'm just I maybe that's just some dumb
48:30
rumor on the internet, but you know what, it smacks of credulity.
48:34
There's something about that that I actually believe when I look at the way that
48:37
Robin has conducted herself, oh for sure, and the lies that she's spinning,
48:43
this bullshit narrative that she's trying to put on put on a face that
48:46
she's devastated that the family's breaking up. It's like, no, you're not.
48:51
You're only saying that so that you can say it on TV exactly and
48:53
so that we can maybe believe that you're devastated. But yeah, is she
48:57
really devastated. No, she's probably only stated because now she has to get
49:00
a job, right, She's gonna Yeah, she's gonna have to get a
49:04
job. Yeah, So that was just painful. That was just very painful
49:07
for Mary. It was painful to see Robin still trying to fucking spin her
49:12
yarns like an evil witch in the forest. Totally, it's not working on
49:15
us. We're paccool and we can sniff out the garbage, all right.
49:22
The final scene was Cody going to meet up with Christine. Yeah, at
49:29
salsa. Brava shows up and I want to say, it's another Lexus.
49:31
I know it was like a brown. I don't think it was an Audi.
49:35
It was like a black or brown Lexus. I'm like convertible Lexus.
49:38
I mean, I'm going to withhold my comment, but you can tell what
49:40
I'm thinking, right, small, smaller energy sde Totally it gets there.
49:45
He walks in. He looks real flustered. To me, he does,
49:49
he's mad, he doesn't want to be there. Well, actually I don't
49:52
think he wants to be there. I think it's awkward, but he's stammering.
49:55
She shows up looking pretty good. She's got like a blazer on,
49:58
she's got like this red, nice little colored blouse on. She's got her
50:01
hair all pretty, she's got a great fucking attitude, good vibes all day
50:07
and he walks in, and he's immediately disarmed by her energy and maybe even
50:12
her beauty. I want to believe so. So you think he's like nervous,
50:15
That's why he's like that. Yes, And when I watched it for
50:19
the second time today, I looked at him. He's like a little bit
50:22
of a flush in his cheeks. He walked in, he was kind of
50:23
looking around like he didn't know what to do, almost in a boyish way.
50:28
I thought he was a little nervous. I also think he's intimidated by
50:30
Christine because Christine was the queen that walked out. She played a power move
50:36
on ar guy Cody, and he's still reeling from it. So he's coming
50:39
in not in the power position, a super uncomfortable, but also maybe even
50:45
a little bit still in love with Arco Christine. Oh, I think he
50:49
is. I mean, as the anger that he has for her. I'm
50:52
like, Okay, you definitely were never expecting Christine ever leave. You were
50:57
never expecting And maybe he wasn't expecting it because she's the aub princess, like
51:01
she's aub royalty, like she's going to be the most loyal just because of
51:06
her religion. Maybe he thought Mary was going to be the first one,
51:08
and that's why he's just been trying to kick her out and be like,
51:12
I don't know what to do with you. I don't even like you.
51:14
I don't even want to be around you. Oh my god. So now
51:17
he's just like, gotta watch her be with her new man living in utsall
51:22
can all has to try and co parent, which is the premise of this
51:27
meeting today because again we're right at the holidays, and so they're there to
51:30
talk about truly, and also Isabelle because the girls want to visit with Cody.
51:36
But yeah, I just feel like he is really uncomfy. Yeah,
51:39
and I feel like her levity, her lightness of being is just a light
51:45
that shines into the darkness of his soul and makes him super fucking uncomfortable to
51:52
be around it. Oh totally. And he says when he gets there,
51:53
he's like, I don't even want to be happy, Like I don't want
51:57
to be nice. I want to be angry at her. I want to
51:59
hate her. I have some time to hate her. Yeah. Meanwhile,
52:01
Christine and her talking kids, like, I just feel like we should keep
52:04
things lighthearted and civil and just I mean, who cares. Yeah, she's
52:09
she's so over it. And so what do they talk about when they're there?
52:13
They talk about essentially his COVID and he reiterates again, what a travesty,
52:19
what a catastrophe. That was trauma? He almost darts. It was
52:23
almost a fetal provision, crying, nobody loves me, nobody comes to Oh
52:31
my god, shut up, I know, nobody cares. Stupid. So
52:35
at the time of this recording, it was probably one to two months previous,
52:38
right, because it was around Gabe's birthday in October that he had COVID
52:43
yes, And so he's still he's still immersed in it. He's still victimizing
52:47
himself with it. Oh, of course, because Christine talks about how she's
52:52
going to come down with the girls, and I can't remember if she said
52:54
she was going to stay with Janelle or if they were going to rent a
52:57
house. I don't know, but essentially the topic of him visiting the girls
53:01
came up and having them come over to Robin's house, and he's like,
53:05
well, they have to get COVID tested, they have to be tested,
53:07
and Christine's taken aback. She's like really still, It's like, oh yeah,
53:12
still even after you got COVID. We need to get COVID tested.
53:15
And he's like, yeah, Aurora didn't get COVID and she's like, you
53:16
mean, Aurora really didn't get COVID and everybody else did. And she's kind
53:22
of laughing at him. First, she starts laughing at him with the COVID
53:24
yeah, because of his man cold. She starts laughing at him into the
53:28
camera. She's like, oh my god, anytime Cody ever got sick,
53:30
he was such a fucking baby about it. And I'm so glad I don't
53:34
have to deal with this horsheit anymore in my life, thanking Jesus well.
53:37
And I noticed she was laughing because she was going to tell him something about
53:40
Gwen. So she was going to tell him a story that made her think
53:44
about it. And she says, I'm sorry for laughing. I don't mean
53:45
to laugh but Gwen. And that's when he says, well, you're mean
53:50
like that. It's okay, right, So I'm like, you cut her
53:52
off before she was going to explain to you why she was laughing, right,
53:54
she probably wasn't laughing at you, but now we're all laughing at yeah.
53:58
And to the camera she is laughing about you, and I think she
54:00
should laugh, of course, because you called her laughables such a joke.
54:04
And so she finds out that her girls are going to have to get a
54:07
fucking Q tip shoved up their nose in order to see their dad while their
54:10
father, mind you, is sitting at Salta Brava, not socially distancing and
54:15
without a mask, in a restaurant where somebody could have COVID and he'll take
54:19
it back to his home of course, because he doesn't actually care. So
54:22
sciency, it's so weird to me. How does he does seem not?
54:27
Like how does the like COVID dissonance? Like don't you understand you could get
54:31
COVID right now and take it back? Like why are you here? Then?
54:35
Yeah? Seriously, Well because I don't. He was like that in
54:39
season seventeen too, like he was the only one allowed to go do things
54:43
because he took the precautions and he can handle it with his men immunity.
54:47
It's like so weird. I just I just bazore. Well. I feel
54:52
like in this season of Sister Wives, we are going to see the total
54:57
and complete humbling of Cody Brown. I don't think he's going to know he's
55:00
being humbled because again, he's a narc and I think Robin is going to
55:04
continue to facilitate and enable his narcissism because she gets something out of it.
55:08
But I think we're going to see the total devastation of everything that he has
55:12
built in the last twenty years of his life. And I think it's gonna
55:15
I think it's going to occur to him that he had a hand in it,
55:20
because when I read that people dot Com article, the tone of it
55:24
was like, I get it, I could have should have done things differently.
55:30
And he even said in this episode, I know I'm an ogre,
55:34
but she should love me anyway, or something like that. I know I
55:36
am an ogre. So I just feel like he's going to realize his part
55:40
in all of this. It doesn't mean he's going to change. It doesn't
55:44
mean he's going to try and put something back together. At the very least,
55:49
he should try to put something back together with his children. Yeah,
55:52
well for sure if he is actually a good dad. But I don't know,
55:55
because that People dot Com thing could just be him trying to, you
56:00
know, tame the fire that he fucking caused, like try to curate his
56:06
image of him having a redemption arc like that could also be bullshit because I
56:10
watched again today. That ogre comment was not him saying I'm an ogre.
56:15
That was him quoting what Janelle should say to him and say, oh,
56:22
I know I'm an ogre. I've been an ogre. But I support you
56:24
and I love you and I care about you. And I'm like, so
56:27
you think your wife's being an ogre. That's fucked up. Yeah, okay,
56:30
I misheard that then. Yeah, and I only noticed that because of
56:35
the captions on Discovery plus because I'm old and I have to have captions.
56:37
But yeah, it was him saying that that's what Janelle should say to him.
56:42
Got it. Well, let me say, I'm not saying he's going
56:44
to have a redemption arc like for example, Mary might be having this season.
56:46
I'm saying that he's going to be humbled, like everything he has built,
56:52
all of the wealth, all of the connections his family, it's all
56:57
going to fall apart this season. I really hope that TLC brings us up
57:01
to the current year twenty twenty three. Yeah, so the next time we
57:05
have a season, if we have a season, and I hope that we
57:07
do. We can see where their lives are right now, but it is
57:09
going to occur to him. It has to occur to him. What the
57:12
fuck is he going to do for money? I mean, really, how
57:15
are they going to support themselves? How are they going to pay off all
57:17
that land and Robin's McMansion? Like, what are they going to do?
57:22
I hope to see some of that from Cody this these moments of clarity where
57:25
is fuck Like, I fucked shit up and I shouldn't be so angry at
57:30
my wife's because obviously I had a hand to play in it. But I
57:31
don't know. I don't know if we're going to see that. Do you
57:34
think we're going to see Mary leave him in this season or do you think
57:38
because of the timeline we may not get to see her. No, we
57:42
do because in the sneak peaks we see her telling them I'm I'm leaving.
57:45
I'm going Okay, Yeah, I think we see her leave, which is
57:49
going to be great because I want to see the chicamera commentary, like interstitials
57:53
her commenting about why I hope there is some truth in transparency Trent parency that
58:00
comes out in those interviews. I hope so tuning a little bit more,
58:04
and I hope with the attitude that Christine has already an episode one, and
58:08
the kind of the attitude Janelle has throughout this season, like, I hope
58:10
they start spilling some more tea. Because Janelle was the one that mentioned the
58:15
finances this episode. I feel like I'm almost wondering, like, are you
58:19
building a little bit of a case for yourself, Like are you putting it
58:22
out there into the public consciousness that these people have taken money from you.
58:28
I'm just wondering if that's what she's kind of doing, because I still think
58:31
that all these wives have some kind of case against Cody Brown total. I
58:36
think there needs to be a meticulous for ren thick investigation into how these finances
58:42
were handled, because if he's a legal fiduciary of those funds and he has
58:45
mishandled or misappropriated them, yeah, that is a fucking crime. And so
58:51
I'm just wondering if, like she's saying these little things to strike the fear
58:54
of God into that man. But again, he's stupid, Yeah, stupid.
58:58
So I don't know if you unders stands, but I hope that he
59:01
does. Oh my god, wouldn't that be so great when they him the
59:04
court. It wouldn't it be awesome if they fucking film that shit like they
59:07
did with Johnny Depp versus heard I was watching, Oh my god, I
59:12
would love to see that. I live in I breathe. Oh my god.
59:15
Well, I am so excited. Me too, girl, I'm so
59:19
excited. So we are planning, of course, to cover this entire season.
59:22
We have audio podcasts, which you may be listening to now, but
59:27
we also have our podcasts available on video, and so if you want to
59:30
see Beatrice and Delia actually talking about these important issues of our time and you
59:37
want to be in the Patreon Patreon dot com slash reality TV cringe, We're
59:40
also going to do reactions two sister wives and possibly plat Phil if I can
59:46
fucking figure out how to streamline the editing process, because it's mental. Poor
59:52
d was editing our first video reaction all day today. All day. I
59:57
came over here to record the pod it. She's like, I'm fucking pissed
1:00:00
off. I'm sorry, this has been a terrible day because I want to
1:00:05
get it out. It was so fun. Yeah, I felt like in
1:00:07
the moment as we were reacting, we're like really digging into like some good
1:00:10
issues and we were just in the moment. It was so good. So
1:00:14
it's gonna be done. It's gonna be done by tomorrow. We're gonna put
1:00:15
it up on Patreon. We're probably going to release the new video tier on
1:00:21
Patreon at the end of this week, and by then we'll have at least
1:00:23
two, maybe three videos that you guys can watch if you want to.
1:00:29
Yes, and the video pods will be available on YouTube as well, but
1:00:31
they won't be the full pods. No, it'll just be part of it,
1:00:35
truncated baby. Yeah. And if you want the full video pods,
1:00:37
then subscribe. But we want to we can play in the dopester together.
1:00:43
We want to find our raccoons. We want to find those folks or into
1:00:46
the trash like we are. And by the way, on Patreon, we're
1:00:49
a lot more crazy again, we're a lot more offensive. I mean I
1:00:52
was last night. Yeah, I have to say I did have a cocktail.
1:00:57
I feel like I need to when we react. She's filled the cocktail
1:01:00
all over the wall, all over the wall. But I was going a
1:01:02
little crazy with Robin Squider. I felt really bad. No, I felt
1:01:06
no super convicted about it because I shouldn't be like that for people. Sucks
1:01:12
though, Is that is that good enough reason? Okay, cool, we
1:01:15
make fun of big Head, tell it well, I try not to make
1:01:17
too much fun of big You make fun of big Head, but I mean,
1:01:22
he's so prepositious you kind of just have to. But like, really,
1:01:27
I'm in that's just for patrons because I just don't want to put that
1:01:30
out into the fucking public consciousness. Thank you be address anyway. But it's
1:01:35
gonna be a good time and so I'm really excited. Now. Is there
1:01:38
anything else we have to say to these beautiful raccoons? Will? If you
1:01:43
love our podcast, I hope that you leave us a glowing fame story you
1:01:50
fours on your favorite podcast platforms, and if you're watching on YouTube people like
1:01:54
hands of Grape and turn on the notifications. Thank you, and until next
1:02:00
time, he found place
