  Speaker 2: We have Raccoon Bronwyn and she's got a comment about
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I think Cody Brown.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, ey, the Raccoon Queens.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: This is Bronwin. Hey, I had some thoughts I wanted
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: to share with you. I am completely convinced that this
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: is the last season four Sister Wives. Here's why. So
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: they've been two years behind, and you guys talked about
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: that early are and now all of a sudden, because
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: of Garrison, they're going to have to bring it up
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: to current day. And they've already talked about in the
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: press release that they are going to be discussing Garrison's
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: death at some point. So they're bringing it up to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: current day. And then what are they going to do.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: They're all over the country and the everything is changing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: They're not going to have enough content. I don't think
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: after this. Yes, that could be why Janelle moved and
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: how Cody and Robin are selling the house and all
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: of this stuff. I'm just really convinced that this is
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: it so curious to hear your thoughts, but yeah, I mean,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: nothing that I've heard takes me away from that conclusion.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: It really sounds like that's what's happening. So Yep, they're
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: going to have to find other jobs. Love it, Have
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: a great day, guys, good bye.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I do love that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Well, what are your thoughts? What do you think?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like we're at a crossroads. Like
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like we could just cancel the show right
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: now because it's not really Sister Wives anymore. It's Cody
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and Robin and then the OG three, which everybody I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: think would want to see a spinoff of the OG three,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: like I would want to see what Janelle's doing in
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: her life and all that kind of stuff. But I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: could see a world where it gets canceled. But I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: feel like it won't. I feel like they're gonna keep
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: going at least to season twenty.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that this being the highest rated show
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: on TLC, this production company and this family, well in
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: particular Cody Brown, is very interested in keeping the show going.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They might have to get creative. They might have to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: rethink how they want to show us this family. Whether
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we're going to go to North Carolina with ta Ada
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Farms and Janelle and Maddie and Caleb. What are we
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: going to spend more time with Christine and then there's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: ma Her haunted BnB. I mean I just don't know
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: if there's enough there though, to make a compelling show.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: What makes Sister Wives compelling is the underlying family dynamics,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: which now in the last few seasons have come to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the surface and so it's full on drama and we've
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: been waiting for it, and that's what makes it good,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: which is why I was saying last week that I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: think Cody really is invested in portraying a villain. Whether
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he feels that way or not, I feel like he
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: thinks he needs to do that in order to keep
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: this on the television. So I think they're going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: really want to try and create some additional seasons. I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just don't know what we're going to do. And furthermore,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: if I may, they're going to do what they did
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: with Christine's wedding last year. They're going to fast forward
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: us to an event that happens in a current timeline,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and then in the next consecutive season they're going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: go right back to two years ago. Of course, they
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: don't give a shit. This is how they do it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's why the show goes on
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: because they do backlog their content because they don't really
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: have a lot going on in general, Like even season seventeen,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: it's like the biggest thing was Christine leaving, right, But like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: prior to that, what were we watching? Like nothing? Really,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I mean we were watching Cody and Robin, b Cody
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and Robin and then the OG three you know, going
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: too like a picnic or like something dumb like that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I feel like they're gonna either have to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: manufacture content or continue giving us old shit just to
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: keep the show running. Because Cody and Robin do need
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a paycheck, they do need a job, yes, so I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: feel like they're gonna want the show to continue.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the only reason you've got the ratings you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: have right now is because the wives and the kids
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: have left you. That's really the only reason because previous
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to that, like you said, it was boring, although I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: think a lot of us watched because, uh, in some
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: ways it was interesting to see this family try to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: function and be together and that was I think compelling television.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But like now, the reason you've got people here is
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: because the ship is sinking. Yeah, so you're gonna have
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the same problem as something like a Real Housewives franchise,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: which kind of started out in this innocent space of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: like housewives and friends and lots of money and travel
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and then turned into this garbage dumpster fire of toxic
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: women literally fighting each other, like I feel like, in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: order to maintain the ratings we have now, it's gonna
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: have to stay dramatic, which I think Cody is willing
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to do, and so is Robin, though she's gonna pretend
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that she doesn't like it, right, and it's gonna be
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the other wives who probably walk away at some point.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think Janelle feels like she needs this.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, she's gonna make money with her farm
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and living with Maddie and Caleb and she'll be fine,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And same with Christine. She's got her own bullshit, Mary's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: got her NLMs, like they're gonna be fine. But yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I mean it might turn into like Welcome to Blatfell,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: like this Currencys, where it's everybody's gotten divorced and now
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: we're just manufacturing bullshit that nobody wants to see.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yep, Olivia speed dating, introducing characters nobody cares about.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Like literally, no one cares so unless you're gonna give
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: us real stuff or drama, because everybody's addicted to drama
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and toxic trash, then nobody's gonna want to watch.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the direction it's going right now, though,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: because we're actually having some of the wives talk about
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the real shit. We're actually getting into Coyote Pass, we're
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: getting into who's on the deed, we're getting into lawyers.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: And all this stuff we've been rabig about for years
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: be addressed.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So this is good. I'm just wondering if they're gonna
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: keep it up. I'm wondering if production is actually tapped
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in with what most of us want, or if it's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: gonna fall apart, you know, and get super boring and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of Michelty and Tony and twins and stuff.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I don't care about you being there at the birth, Robin,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I don't care about that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Good it's probably gonna be a lot of that. No,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: we don't need that. But TLC has a history of
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: not giving a shit about their fans, so they still
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: want to do it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Why would they change it?
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Exactly if they've got the highest ratings ever, why would
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they change anything in the formula.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't. But I foresee certainly a season twenty yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and probably continuing to twenty one. Twenty two, twenty five.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: For real, I think we have a few years of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: them trying to cobble it together. I don't know if
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: it's going to work, but they are going to try
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: because it's a cash cow.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I mean I can see up to
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: twenty But then after.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That, I'm like, what are we doing here?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: What are we gonna watch? I mean, I'm still going
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: to watch them. Yeah, we're still watching. We're still in
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the dumpster together, Like we're still doing rewind episodes and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I boring ass season, So like we're still going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: watch it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And people that's like some of our most downloaded content
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: on the audio podcast. Everybody loves it. So we're still
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: talking about it. Yeah, we're still here, honey.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: So I feel like if people are still going to
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: talk about it, it's still going.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: To go on.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yep, even if it's going to be boring af yep. Lord,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: But you know what's not boring? Christine is going to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: be suing Cody Brown bitch, Oh I love it last week? Yes,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: tell us, Well, Christine is going to sue Cody, or
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: is already suing Cody for retroactive child support up to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: four years and custody, yes, truly, so probably full custody,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming, yeah, which I love.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I love it as well. She's fully entitled to it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: They're probably going to have to do some kind of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a paternity test because I don't think that's customary in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: polygamous families. Right, he's obviously the father. All those kids
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: look the same. Yeah, and he's going to be on
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the hook based on what he makes. And if this
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: goes to say trial, and if we have something like
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: discovery and even depositions and we're going to go on record,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we're going to be able to see some of the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: financials unless to keep it private. I don't know if
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: they can. I'm not a lawyer, but hopefully Cody has
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: some intelligence and he's like, okay, let's just settle this.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I agree to whatever. But she's entitled to it. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's very interesting that she waited until truly
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: was fourteen to do it, because that is the age
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of I don't what do you call it agency? I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to say consent because that's not the right thing.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Is she can choose where she lives and what parents
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: she spends her time with, and so truly can choose
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to stay with Christine. He can't use visitation and custody
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: in that way to hang over Christine's head.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Ooh, so she did it on purpose like that, because
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: he would have thought it in court if she did
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it earlier than this, because then he would been like, oh,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: she's withholding custody of truly, like she's the evil person,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Like I shouldn't have to pay child support, but now
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: it's different. Now you do have to.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Custody interestingly, is not attached to visitation. Those are separate things.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Sometimes people try to make it an issue. No, even
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: if you never see your kid, you are still on
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the hook to pay for that kid.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: But he would have probably tried to do something manipulative like, Okay,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: well I want to see truly fifty percent of the time. Yes,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and so truly truly fifteen percent of the time. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so Christine, you're gonna have to drive your happy ass
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: from Salt Lake City the flag Staff twice a month.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'll do it twice a month, and she's gonna have
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to stay here, yeah, and maybe go to school here.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: He would have tried to do something like that definitly.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: So that's why she waited and she was smart to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: do so.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I love to see it, and I hope she gets
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of money in child sport, because it's not
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: like she's itching for money. It's not like she's poor,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: she's successful. She's just doing this just to get at
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Cody for all of the years he's robbed all of
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the wives with der mcmhonsion and the weird figurines.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: The assets, or as Mattie says, the assets.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, and Robin's kids' cars.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, the fleet of cars that belong to Robin
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and her children.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting also that it's ropping kind
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of at the same time that we have on the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: television Janelle talking about lawyering up and having this stuff
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: kind of in the atmosphere.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I love to see it, me too, want more of it,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: me too.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And even if she doesn't need the money, technically she
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: can just put that right into a college fund, right
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: into any kind of fund that truly can draw from,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like she's eighteen, because you know Cody's not going to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: be supporting her. We know Cody doesn't give a crap
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: about truly, no, not at all.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: He went to go make out with Robin when she
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: was getting bored.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, like what the well? And last week at the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Sprinkle he's playing with Avalon and he's not even acknowledging
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: truly his daughter's sitting right there on the couch.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just sitting there, staring off into space. So
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Dad doesn't give a shit.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Make him pay Drag, drag drag. It's about damn time. Real,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it's a justice indeed, Lizzo. All right, So let's get
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: into the episode again, Season nineteen, episode two entitled.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Let There Be Light. Yes, interesting title. Yes, it starts
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: off pretty strong because you get right into the Coyote
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Pass discussion, and it's with Janelle and Maddie because they're
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: heading up to Montana to go look at property and
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: they're in the car talking about Coyote Pass and how
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: it needs to be paid off because apparently they still
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: haven't paid it off. I mean, this is twenty twenty
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: two right right now, so we already know it's been
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: paid off. But they're talking about Cody dragging his feet
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: essentially like he's not prioritizing it. He doesn't really give
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a shit. He's not talking to Janelle about it. She
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: wants a paid off so she can be done and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: free from him, which is fair.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yes one. And apparently, according to Janelle, Cody is not
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: just dragging his feet and not doing anything to pay
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it off, but he's also not communicating with her and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: telling her what the status of the property is and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: what the plant, the over arching plant to pay off
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the properties are, Like, he's just not doing it. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: then we have that lovely interstitial of him saying, yeah, well,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I don't talk to her about the property because that's
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: just information for the gossip mill, which I think is
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: him saying that Janelle will tell Maddie. I think it's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: kind of coming out. It's becoming clearer and clearer that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Cody thinks Maddie is a problem. Yeah, and she's kind
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of one of those kids who feels superior, who's in
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a club and who is gossiping all the time about
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: him and Robin. So he doesn't want to talk to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Janelle because Janelle's going to talk to Maddie and then
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the rest of the kids are going to hear about
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: what his plans are financially.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: And that's so fucked up. And I think that shows
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: his financial abuse because he's you're not the sole owner
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: of this property, Like Janelle's name is on this shit,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: So you don't you don't get to do that, my guy,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: just because you're worried about your adult child who's like,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, thirty or something heading toward Yeah, something
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: like that, Like who gives shit what she says about you?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe be a better person.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I would give a shit if I knew that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: one of my children was a hound dog who was
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: pissed off about her mother getting the short end of
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the stick and having her know about my financial situation
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and know about all the art and all the phoenix's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: rising and bears that are hugging, and crystal towers and
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Dickensie and villages, like Maddie already knows about that, because
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: as they're in the car, Janelle talks about how Cody
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: has been storing assets trailers, and then of course this artwork.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: She actually calls out the artwork and they included in
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the episode, which I love because of course Cody and
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Robin have just put up their house. We saw a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: little bit of that artwork, so obviously the kids are
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: seeing this too. The wives are seeing this, and Janelle
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: says something like it was my kids who were getting
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: pissed off my adult children. And when I finally began
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to see, oh, yeah, this isn't fair, it was because
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of my kids.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, she even talks about like looking back through all
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the years and how she would be stuck in a
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: rental or she'd be having to get used stuff or
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: use furniture or whatever. Meanwhile, Robin's backyard is fully finished,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and Robin's got all this artwork, and her house is
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: bigger and it's nicer, and she'd be like, huh, that's weird.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: M hmm. I think Janelle was in denial for a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: long time because she didn't want to think that this
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: guy she had trusted for thirty years or whatever would
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: do something so heinous. But he has been doing it
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: this entire time.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that kind of leads me to this question
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: that I have about Janelle, because she's often referred to
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: like the record keeper and the financially astute wife and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the one who's bookkeeping everything and sees all the numbers
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and like does the taxes and stuff like that. But Janelle,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: why did you set yourself up to walk away with nothing?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Because at this point, as she's having this conversation with Maddie.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Cody could conceivably make the choice not to pay anything
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: further on the property on his end, and anything she
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: put toward it would just go away because that owner,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that ultimate owner, who creatively financed it, said, look, you've
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: got a balloon payment. If you don't pay it, you
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: don't get anything.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So Janelle not just loses the property, but any money
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that she's put toward the property, because he has all
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the power. Janelle, how did this happen? And what I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: think it is is it's her faith, yep. And I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: think it's the fact that she trusted her faith, her religion,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and how Cody was framed within that to trust that
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: he would never hurt her or her children, And so
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: it was hard for her to actually see what her
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: kids could see as they got older, that it was
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: unfair polygmya is unfair to women, and she was getting
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the short end of the stick. But you're not that smart.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I believe things that are kookie.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my faith is a little weird, but I mean
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I can also look at a ledger.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I can also look at an account. I can also
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: see where the money is going out of the family
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: LLC and where it's going to and she has said
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: in previous seasons, I see where it goes. Yeah, do
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you really need all that stuff?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I can't have a casita, but you can have the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Dickenzian village. Why did she do it? I don't get it,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: other than the faith part, But even then it doesn't
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: make sense to me. Beatrice, I don't know.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I look at her and I'm like, maybe it's because
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: she was easily manipulated because of the faith, because like
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Mary had her own separate money. But Mary was still
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: stupid and like really crazy loyal to Cody for over
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: a decade when he didn't give a shit about her.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Christine was loyal until the point where he cut off
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: all intimacy. It was like we're not gonna have a marriage,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and then she's like, okaybye, I'm done. But she still
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: had separate finances. But like Janelle, I feel like was
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the one Cody was able to manipulate the most and
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: be like no, like it's for the greater good, Like
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: this would be really fair for the family, if like
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: you could help us out with that, and if you
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: could maybe convince one of the other wives or something
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: to help us with this or whatever, like, can you
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: do that? Can you move things around? Like? I think
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: she was just coerced into it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I think Janelle believed in the big picture of polygamy
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: according to her faith. I think Mary believed in the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: love that she had with Cody A little bit different.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Mary ever really believed with her
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: whole body and soul in polygamy. I think she was
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: jealous a lot. And in this episode, Cody gets into
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Mary's like constant anger and how it was distributed through
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the relationships, but like she was in love with Cody,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Janelle was in love. With the faith difference, yeah, I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: think that's the difference. And I guess when Christine decides
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: to get a divorce, she also decides to chuck her faith.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: She no longer believes. I don't know if that's no
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: longer believes in fundamentalist Mormonism or aub Mormonism. Whether that
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: means she's no longer even LDS, because I do see
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: liquor in those cabinets, honey, So she's drinking, which Mormons
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: aren't supposed to do, but she is, like, maybe it
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: was easier for her to say I don't believe anymore
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and so this marriage doesn't mean anything. I'm divorced.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: That's what I would do, but I'd be like, fuck
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: all this, Well, not Janelle and not Mary. Mary even
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: talks about it too. She still believes in the faith,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: which I'm just like why, I don't understand, but you.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Know, I don't know either. But now she's going to
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: be pursuing what she calls a release, which is a
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: dissolution or I don't it's a spiritual divorce. Yeah, And
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: when she brought that to Cody, he was like resistant,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: not because he doesn't want that, but because he doesn't
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: want to have to go to the elders and have
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: them look at his relationships and all the failures. And
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm skipping ahead and I apologize. But like, that's how
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Mary wants to deal with it. She wants it to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: be final and church ordained. Janelle doesn't need it to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: be church ordained, but she also needs to go through
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: her own process.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Well, and that's what doesn't make any sense to me, Like,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: if you believe in the faith, why wouldn't you go
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: and get a spiritual release? Because Mary still believes in
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the faith, and she's doing the spiritual release because she
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: does not want to be sealed to eternity on cole
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: op with Cody fucking Brown. But Janelle still believes in it,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to get the spiritual release, won't even call
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: it a divorce. So then I'm like, Okay, by your belief,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: by your faith system, you are going to be internal
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: eternally sealed to Cody Brown in heaven with col op
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: or on col op.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But if she's open to polygamy with another husband, wouldn't
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: she have to get released from this marriage in order
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to enter into that marriage? Like at some point she's
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: going to have to get that release.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, because I've talked to Ethel about that,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and like Ethel's not fundamentalist Mormon, but she was LDS
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: and she said, like, I guess for the women, like
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you're still sealed to multiple partners, Like you still have
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: to ask for the sealment or the unsealment or whatever
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: if you wanted that, but otherwise you're still sealed to
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Cody Brown and sealed to this other guy.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, So when Warren Jeff's comes into some man's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: home and says, your wife is now my wife, they
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: don't have to unseal that and do all the administrative stuff.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: They just move the wife over to another husband and
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it's just fine in the eyes of the Lord. Must
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: be nice to be a white man.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, yeah, nice to be.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: A white Mormon.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: May yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Wow yeah, wow wow wow.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so that makes sense. Yeah, that's why Janelle
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel the need to do it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: But that's weird. Why wouldn't you want to be unsealed
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: from him like I would be. I'd be like, fuck you,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I'll spend eternity alone.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I just don't think she wants to fuck with it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: She doesn't want to talk about it. She doesn't want
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to have a conversation with Cody. She doesn't need to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: say it's over. She's just like, I'm moving on. I
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: have a dream.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I want to be with my kids. I want to
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: have a piece of land. I want to be rural.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I want to have a pig, a cow, and a garden.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Fuck Cody, I don't care. And I actually like that
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: more for her because now Mary has to go to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the aub I guess, yeah, the white male elders in
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that face, and she has to plead her case for
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: some kind of a release and like, why yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean if you believe in the faith
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: and you believe in that.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like it's a lot. It sounds like
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it's a whole thing.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Janelle's like, I don't want to do it, so no,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: thank you. She's a Taurus. I get it. I really
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: relate to Janelle.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: And maybe she is kind of a rug sweeper a
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: little bit, I think, so yeah, oh god, So I
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: mean maybe she just doesn't want to deal with it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Just go and buy your flower farm, yep. And that's fine,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Like I'm not judging her for that. It's just like
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: if you're going to say you believe in the faith,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: and why aren't you going the full mile? You know
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: what I mean? YEPA But back to the coins on
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Coyote Pass, when we're talking about the separation of assets
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: and how Cody and Robin kept their stuff very separate.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Robin has her own separate money.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Can we all just download about that first of all?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: When Robin is talking about how she used to be
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a bad budgeer like in bat with money, but now
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I'm really good with it, huh. And we actually have
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: separate accounts, Cody and I and I take care of
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I have my own money, he has his own money.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: When she was talking all of that mad, duplicitous shit,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: she was actually breathless. I was noticing her body language
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: like she had a little flush in her cheeks. She
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: was speaking a little fast, and she was trying to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: catch her breath. I mean, just all indicators that she
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: is bold face lying. I cannot believe. I cannot believe
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the audacity of this woman because she knows that she's lying. Oh,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: she knows that we know that she's lying. She knows
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: her wives are watching this and they know that she's lying,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: and she's still doing it. That's what makes her wicked, beatrisses.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Not just like stupid, not just opportunistic. She's wicked, Yes,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: fucking evil. When she was saying like it would be
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: too confusing to have to calculate how much money the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: other wives gave to her and Cody essentially and have
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to figure that out, Okay, it all that, I mean, honey,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: kiby even do that. I don't even know. It's easy, honey,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it's easy. How much did Janell transfer from her her
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: account into your account? How much did Mary transfer into
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: your account? So you could buy that home.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Yep. And then the most evil comment to me that
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: she made was the fact that she was saying the
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: other wives didn't prioritize their money the way that she
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: prioritized her money. She had different priorities. She's an expert budgeter.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's your fault you didn't prioritize your money
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: well enough.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But that's okay. We're just different in that way. Listen, bitch, bitch,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: You've got Cody who's got his TLC salary and he
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. You've got your TLC salary and you don't work,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and so maybe you guys get to separate those two
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: salaries and you've got your own account, Robin. But who's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: paying the mortgage?
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I bet it's Cody. Who's paying for the insurance. I
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: bet it's Cody. Who's paying for all the utilities and groceries.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I bet it's Cody. And is Cody doing that for
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: his other wives?
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Though?
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Is Cody paying Janelle's mortgage? Is Cody paying Christine's or
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Mary's mortgage or groceries or utilities? I feel like those
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: when those women were taking care of their own household,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: which Cody actually says in this episode, while he was
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: taking care of your household. Yeah, which then allows you
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to take your TLC salary and invest into Kensiean villages
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: bullshit and Rolex watches and gold jewelry and all manner
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: of assets, trailers and otherwise giving you a profound leg up.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: How is that confusing to you, bitch?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: And how is that fair? When the other wives were
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: talking about struggling to feed their kids and pay their
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: fucking bills when we were watching season five, and Christine's like, oh,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I forgot to pay the water bill, Like I miss
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: that because she's the one running her entire household. Meanwhile,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you're over there in your diesel genes, sucking Cody's dick,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: doing nothing.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Break dancing too close to the sun beatras. It's just
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: it's gotta be falling apart, right, guys, Like they can't
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: actually be moving into a four million dollars How would
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: they be able to afford that? No, they don't have
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: sponsorship deals, they don't have brand deals. They're not on
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: ig like making money, right. I know they have a cameo,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: they have camo, but like, how much money does that
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: actually bring in? They are living off of TLC and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: whatever gun business or online business they have in the background,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: which I would love. Oh my god, I would love
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to see the taxes. I would love to see the taxes.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: And if we have to go to trial because Christine
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: needs to open the books to see how much Cody
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: owes her for child support, like, maybe we'll see the taxes.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Wouldn't it be great that lady on
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: YouTube I forget her name, with the glasses that covered
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the amber heard.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Trial the lawyer Emily K.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't it be if they went to trial.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Put it on the vision board. On the vision board, Oh,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: that would be so good. But the but the terrible
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: lying that Robin is doing here discussing, it's just so
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: awful to me.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: It's really really cood.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody believes you, Robin. How can you sit there in
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the McMansion with all that shit everywhere? And we saw
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: like in previous seasons when they were having their trick
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: or treat during COVID and she's opening the door to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: give candy, like all of the boxes of Amazon and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: this and that and all of the stuff they have. Yeah,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: how can you say that with a straight face? It's crazy, wicked.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: When she calls herself the idiot that still believes in
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: this dream, Like she's saying, I could still be neighbors
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: with Janelle. I could still be neighbors with Mary. I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: hope they still build on Coyote Pass. That would be
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: so great and my dream would be fulfilled. It's like,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: you really want us to believe that?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, you don't.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: You really want us to believe that you're telling the
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: truth right now? Like it's crazy. Why don't you just
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: say the fucking truth?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: It would be so much better. I mean, I mean,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: then we could start to find a way to maybe
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: try and respect some of the decisions that you're making,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: trying to hold onto your assets because if something you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: were told by Cody or whatever, maybe it's because of
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: trauma that you've come out of because your mother was
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: also in polyagumia. I don't know, but like, why don't
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you tell the truth just instead of just bullface lying
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: yet wild?
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, And then we kind of hear more
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: about Cody's relationship with Maddie or lack thereof, because while
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: they're going Maddie and Janelle are going up to Montana.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Janelle in her talking head is like, Yeah, Cody doesn't
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: really have a relationship with Maddie. And then we hear
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Cody on and on about the gossip mill and how
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: he doesn't trust Janelle, doesn't trust Maddie and it's a
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: two way street. Though she doesn't reach out to me,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: so therefore I won't reach out to her.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: And I know that triggers you.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it pisses me off.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not triggered by it because I've that's never
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: happened to me. Yeah, but I know as a child
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: of divorce, why don't you speak to it?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Should we go uncensored for it?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's come back to their regular pod. We were
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: actually for a while we were talking on Uncensored. If
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: you guys want to hear all of the uncensored bits,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: all you have to do is go to Reality TV,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: cringe on Patreon subscribe. It's only for patrons.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: But what was I saying.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Cody triggering me about the yeah, the two way street
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: bullshit that he's giving with Maddie.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Right, And the thing I was saying was that even
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: though Maddie is an adult, even though she's almost thirty
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: years old, Cody is always going to be the parent,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: and even though it might be difficult, it's still his
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: responsibility to initiate any kind of a healing process with
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Maddie and his other children. They might be upset, they
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: might be no contact, but it's up to you to
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: try and make a bridge that everybody can heal, because
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that's just the job. They didn't ask to be born
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: into this world. They certainly didn't ask to be born
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: into this polygamous family. You brought them into this experience,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and so you are the caretaker of the experience. And
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: if you don't like that, because it doesn't feel good
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: for you now that you're fifty four with your new
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: new bile breakdancing wife, then that's your fault exactly. At
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: least accept that this broke down because of me. Stop
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: putting it back on your kids.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: But he fucking can't accept any responsibility. It's so frustrating
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: to me because I'm like, you are an adult of
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: a certain age, a big age, and you are still
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: acting like this, like what are you gonna do on
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: your deathbed? He's going to be one of those guys
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: that as he gets older, he's just going to become
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: more and more crotchety push everybody and his family away
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: and then wonder why he dies alone. He's going to
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: be that guy. Mm hmm, I swear it pisses me
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: off so much.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Well, and or Robin will be there and her kids
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: will be there, and that'll be enough for him because
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: he will be so estranged from the rest of his family.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: But that's going out sad. Yeah, death is going out sad, yep,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: And he talks about how the time in Vegas with
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Maddie and Caleb, living with them in the Four Plots
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: and the cul de Sac was the best time of
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: his life and how he loved Caleb and he loved
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: having his family all together. And I'm like, then, why
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: don't you lean into that, because if you lean into
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: the love of your whole entire family, you could heal
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of the relationships you have that you've broken.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: It would take just an apology and an acknowledgement.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Ownership, like I really fucked that up. Yeah, And here's
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: my thinking behind what I did, and this is why
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: it was wrong, you know, here's how I came to
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the realization that it is wrong, and here's my plan
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: to do things differently and change the situation going forward,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: like take actual responsibility. But he's a narcissist. We can't
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: keep expecting narcissists to have this kind of an awareness.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: They just don't. You can't take a narcissist to therapy
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: because they will weaponize therapized words and therapized processes and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: then use it against you to make you even more miserable.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: They're broken people, and I'm sorry, I just think there's
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: like no help for people like this. Yeah, there's no
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: hoping he's going to get better, because you're right, he's
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: going to get worse with age. I was just watching
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: this episode. I'm like, every single one of you needs
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to be in therapy. Mary, go to conventional therapy, not
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Mormon therapy, not therapy with your spiritual elders. Get an
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: actual conventional therapist, and dedicate yourself to years of therapy. Janelle,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you two, I mean, you're pretty well adjusted. You seem
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to be happy and okay, as you were telling Christine,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: but you also need therapy because how did you get
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: here in the first place. How did you make such
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: a series of disastrous choices to get you and to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: hurt your children the way that you did. We don't
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: talk about that enough. With Janelle. We really hurt your children.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Garrison was a hurt child, of course. And I'm not
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: trying to make anybody feel bad, but like, there are
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: things that you did for reasons that you are unconscious
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to that allowed you to hurt these kids, and this
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: allow this man to hurt your kids. Go to therapy,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and Christine, honey, girl, I know you're happy you're in
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: your honeymoon taken down, but you need therapy too. Everybody does.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: The only person who would not benefit from therapy, in
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: my opinion is Cody and Robin because they're actually to me,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm not a doctor, they strike me as actual narcissists. Yes,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: when you've got Robin sitting on the couch lying like
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: that to our faces, our raccoon faces. Yeah, like, yeah,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: there's no.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Hope for her, Yeah, there really isn't unless she comes
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: out and it's like, yeah, I'm gonna leave Cody too.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I realize he's a piece of shit.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was lying all these years. I was
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: trying to make it work and trying to get everybody
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to believe because I didn't have any money.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah, then we would be fine with you.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: But even that's calculated. Yeah, because you should have done
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: that at the right time.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: True, but she's not. And then we have Christine visiting
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Janelle and Flagstaff.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: This was interesting, This was really good. Like, listen, I
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people love Christine, and we love
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: that Christine left Cody and so deeply broke him. I mean,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the reason we have the spinning top that is Cody
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Brown just being an awful person is because Christine felt
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: empowered enough to walk away from him. But that doesn't
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the gate that she's annoying as fuck. She's judgmental to Janelle. Yeah,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: she has her own ideas of the way that the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: world should work. And I guess now that she's no
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: longer the biggest advocate for polygamy and the biggest advocate
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: for the aub now all of a sudden, everybody else
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: has to have the same opinion and in the same timeline.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: She's ridiculous. I apologize, break down, breakdown the scene for me.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: But she was so annoying to me.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was actually talking to Ethel about it
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: because she was so mad at Christine. She's like, can
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: you just lay off of Janelle? Like, police, why are
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: you trying to tell her what to do, like, let
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Janelle make her own decisions. And I was talking to
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Ethel about it. I'm like, it's the aries in Christine,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: like the ram just being so fucking pushy and just
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: be like, let me tell you how to do your life,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: let me tell you how to fix your life. And
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Ethel about it, I'm like, that's
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: a fire sign thing, because I feel like we're kind
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: of hot headed people and we just want to tell
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: people how to live their lives, even though we don't
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: know what the fuck we're talking about most of the time.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: And we also don't live our lives by our own
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: advice a lot of the time. So it's like Christine
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: trying to tell Janelle how to break up with Cody
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: and how to separate all of her assets when Janelle's
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: finances are fucking entangled so much more than everyone else.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Like Christine, you got to sell your house and leave yep,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: you had nothing tying yourself, like you got rid of
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Coyote Pass and you were done, it was clean. Janelle
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: can't do that. And Janelle's trying to figure it all out,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: so let her just figure it out.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty two winter of Like Christine, you just
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: walked away I think September of twenty twenty two, right,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: based on that timeline, So it's been a few months.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: You don't have all the answers. This is what kills me,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: yes about these women, the Mary Browns, the hashtag worthy ups,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: these women who have clear and present problems. Olivia Plath,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Olivia Plath and Christine, you have clear and present problems,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and you presume to sit on a couch and tell
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Janelle how to be in her own process. It's just
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: so self absorbed and so tone deaf. But that's just Christine.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: That's also Machelti. It must have been like the family
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: she came up in. By the end of this episode,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: we have her telling us that she gets it now,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't think she gets it. I think she's
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: actually really judgmental. And to the degree that Cody and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Robin believe there's a gossip mill, I'm gonna tell you
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Christine's right in the center of that gossip mill. She
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: loves to make television talking about Cody Brown and all
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: of the things that he's done wrong. Having the whole
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: family there, even the kids, talking about Robin, like she
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: lives for.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: That shit totally. But also, like Janelle said to Cody
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: in her talking head, like Cody leaks like a sieve.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: He's also gossiping and saying shit to o their wives
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: about the other wives. So like everybody talks about everybody
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: in this family, which to some degree is normal in
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: a big, giant folman like this. I mean everybody's talking crab.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course a lot of it is true,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: like with the stuff about Cody and Robin, like it's
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: not gossip. They're just bitching about the fact that you
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: guys are pieces of crap, right, But like Christine is
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: totally at the head of it, and Christine needs to
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: chill out and just let people figure it out on
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: their own.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just doesn't work. It's not gonna work with
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: a personality like Janelle, who is so in her own body, Honey,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: She's so in her own life, she's so in her
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: own purpose and vision. Like she's getting it together. She's
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out right now what it is she
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: wants exactly. She loves flag stuff, But eh, I probably
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: shouldn't hang out here because Cody and Robin are here,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and I also love Montana, and I love Cody and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: not Cody, but Caleb and Maddie. And so there's a
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: lot of different things at play right now. So just
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: give me a little space and breath and time, Christine
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, please for me to figure that out for
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: myself without you telling me what to do. That it's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: just not who she is. I can see that clear
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: as day. And it's kind of wild to me that
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Christine doesn'tand that about her and or is such a
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: boundary stomper.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like I can understand to an extent
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: why Christine is so fired up about it because she
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: is single. She's fucking David Woolley probably at this point
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: or dating him or something. I don't know, I don't care,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: but like she's happy, and like she wants to have
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Janelle be happy, and so I understand the sentiment. But
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: like again, like.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Just take it down if you're not.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just an essential immaturity with Christine. I remember
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: being like a no at all when I was in
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: my twenties and stuff. But like Christine, you're in your
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: fifties for real, and your life is a shit show.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Your life is an actual shit show on TLC. Yeah,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: so like, don't presume to tell anybody else what they
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: need to do and the pace that they need to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: move at. That's just not how we want to do it.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's probably doing all of her interviews at
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: this time, like all of the stuff's probably been filmed,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: so she's like on a high right now, and so
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: she's like, I'm the shit. Everybody else needs to come
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: on my level, right yea, but it's annoying. Yeah, But
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Janelle's kind of talking to Christine about like Cody and
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Coyote Pass and how he's not talking to her and
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: like all of their stuff is over text, and so
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: she needs to get a lawyer and she's tired of
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: this wishy washy bullshit or no Cody says that. Cody
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: says that he's annoyed with Janelle because she's going back
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and forth with him and it's very ambiguous. Yeah, ambiguous,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: and he's frustrated with it. And this is where Mary starts.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Laughing, Yes, I loved it.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Oh this was so good. She's like, yeah, so the
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: thing that you're frustrated Janelle's doing to you, you did
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: the same bullshit to me. Karma's a bitch.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Which is wonderful and true, but also, can we just
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: get real, Mary, if we all knew, you know, watching
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: forty minutes a week for I don't know, fifteen episodes
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a year, if we all knew that Cody wanted nothing
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: to do with you, if we felt, as an audience said,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: it was loud and clear his intent with you, how
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: come you didn't? And again it's probably the faith. And
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: again it's probably her prioritizing her perception of her love
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: relationship with Cody and how much she wanted to get
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: back to that. But at the same time, like you
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: weren't a victim necessarily, like you had a whole banana
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: in your mouth in a bathtub talking to a man
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: that I know you would have left if he was
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: a real man.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: We all know you would have left. You were ready
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: to leave when you were in Alaska. Uh huh, Okay,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: you sat down to that dinner in Alaska and you
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: were ready to tell them, look, I'm on my way
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: out the door. So it's not like this whole thing
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: was done to you, you were complicit in it. But
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: at the same time, any opportunity she takes a potshot
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: at Cody, I love it and her reveling in how
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: uncomfortable Janelle's lack of communication makes him, Like I live
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: for that. Yeah, anything that pokes him, I endorse.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I love it. And it is totally the same kind
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: of energy as Christine, though, like now that you're away
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: from it and you're doing your hashtag worthy of like
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: you think you're better than everybody when you're like also
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: a huge mess. But I thought that was such a
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: good can and I want more of that from Mary
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: all season. They too, so so good. But I will
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: say though, Cody did admit later in some talking head
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: where he had said he was trying to make their
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: relationship work when he was talking about Mary Yes getting
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: her spiritual divorce or whatever, he admitted to it. He's like, yeah,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: I tried to tell her in Flagstaff maybe it'll be
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: a new beginning, and like, I tried really hard. So
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: he's saying on camera that he was going back and
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: forth with Mary.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Yes and sending mixed messages. But at the same time
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: that he's saying that, he's like, I tried to be curious,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: but she wasn't fun. Yeah, she wasn't good to be around.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: She's an angry person and I'm just like God, the
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: way he so glibly just puts her down and decimates
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: her like as a woman is so sad to see,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: like he doesn't think twice about saying something that is
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: going to break her heart. And just last week she's
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: talking to her friend Brandy and she's like, I don't
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I want to take the high road, I want to
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: be kind, and here he is just being so despicable
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to her. Now when he's talking about this though, Beatrice,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: we kind of get into some of the history and
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: some of the lore about Mary and Cody. And remember
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: how you know, over the pod, like probably over the
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: last year, I was talking a little bit about that therapy,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: that therapy session that Cody went in with Mary, and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: how he talked about like how he didn't know the
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: baggage that Mary brought into the relationship and there were
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: things he didn't know about Mary that he wished he
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: would have known. And I'm like, well, I wish you
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: would have elaborated on that. Well, now I think this
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: is starting to come out, and it's the fact that
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Mary brought her toxic anger into the relationship and Cody
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: tells a story about like offering her a piece of gum,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: and she snaps at him and says, you know, I
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: don't like spear mint, and you know what, I believe it.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: And then he talks about how Janelle entered into the
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: relationship and that diluted his relationship with Mary and his
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: exposure really to her anger. So Janelle becomes a meat
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: shield so he doesn't have to be the sole beneficiary
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: of all of Mary's toxicity. And so now we have
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: problems with Mary and Janelle, and Janelle actually leaves at
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: one point and moves back to Wyoming or whatever. Yeah,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: and then we bring on Christine, and Cody actually admits
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: that bringing Christine on saved the relationships. Yeah, it was
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: because Christine came, it diluted Mary even more so. Now
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: she had not just one focal point, which is Cody.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Now she's got three adults that she can spread her
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: misery around, and then a bunch of kids that some
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: of these kids say she went on to abuse. So
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I actually believe this about Mary. Yeah, and maybe the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: baggage he's talking about is like her family, her trauma
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: or her family toxic culture. I don't know, but I
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: thought that was really interesting to learn about.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was interesting, but I do think
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: he's saying all of that just to make her look bad.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: But then at the same time, we see the fact
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: that Christina and Janelle don't really have a relationship with Mary.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: There's obviously a reason why, because Mary's seems like a
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: big old bitch. Maybe everybody's over it. Yeah, maybe she's
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: better now with her hashtag worthy up and stuff. Who
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: fucking knows, But it doesn't change like thirty years of
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: her being toxic and terrible. But then I'm like, at
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: the same time, when he's talking about Mary's baggage, I'm like,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: what about your baggage? Dude, what about you being a
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: piece of shit? Like, I know you're you've been exceptionally
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: terrible the last like ten years or so, but I
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: feel like you were a peach back then. Either. I
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: feel like you were also pretty terrible, and you were
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: a twenty something dude who thought that being in a
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: terrible relationship with the first girl, Oh, you know what
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: the solution would be, Let's bring in another woman. Oh
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: that doesn't work, Okay, Let's bring in another woman. And
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: then thirty years later say you don't love any of them,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: and maybe that's true, Like maybe you didn't love any
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: of them from the get go. It's not true you
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: were dumb and brought in these women to think it
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: would make it everything better. But I don't freaking believe that.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Nobody believes that. I believe he fell out of love
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: with them, yeah, but I believed at one point he
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: did love them.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: No, he's not a peach. I think he was dealing
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: with a woman who had some personality issues. That would
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: be Mary, and I think Mary took it out on Janelle.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: We have scenes in flag Staff, so recent scenes where
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: they're trying to work out their relationship. But Janelle has
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: been so injured in this relationship. It's like, I don't
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: know if I have the band with Mary to even
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: try to go to therapy with you because of the
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: shit that I have been through with you. So Mary
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: sounds like she was a pretty terrible person. Yeah, And
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: at some point, probably about ten years ago, when this
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: whole thing started, Cody's like, I'm done, I've got this.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: I've got this new woman.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: I love her, actually feel what real love feels like.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: And maybe he did, maybe, And so maybe that's a
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: revelation to him, and he slowly but surely starts falling
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: out of love with the others. But Mary, you had
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: something to do with.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: That, yeah, And then we have Cody talking about how
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: he's not a victim, but he ever had a choice
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: to leave these women because of his faith. But then
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: he says he doesn't want to disparage his faith, but
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: then calls it bullshit.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Right, you can't have it both ways.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Like why you keep going back and forth?
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Man, when did you I want to know, when did
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: you walk away from the faith because it's convenient for
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: you to say, well, my faith says I can't divorce them.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: They have to make the choice. And then out of
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the other side of your mouth say well, but my
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: faith is bullshit, right, Like, which one is it? It's
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: what's convenient for you to make you look less like
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: an evil person or the evil person that you are,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: So everything is so convenient for him.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: And then again like you're not taking any accountability because
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: you're saying the og three wives kicked you out, as
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: if you weren't trying to get the fuck out of there.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Then he says something really weird where he's like, I
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: never would have left any of them, even though I
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: don't love them anymore. I never would have left them,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: but they made a choice. They wanted to leave, and
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: so everybody made choices. I guess I maybe made some
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: choices that maybe have separated.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe I did, I don't know.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Probably not, but not really though. Yeah. I'm not a victim, though,
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: but I got kicked out of my club, I'm excommunicated
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: for my club that I started.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I don't even understand how he arranges and organizes his
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: life in the way that he sees it. It doesn't make
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: any sense. I think he's referring to Mary kicking him
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: out of the house in Vegas during the whole Catfish
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: debacle for a period of time, probably because he was
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: never really coming around and hated her guts in the
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: first place, and so because she needed a little bit
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: of space from him, he took that as she kicked
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: me out. Now I don't ever have to see her again. Yeah,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: And then of course Christine does the same thing because
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: she gets to the end of her rope because they're
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: not fucking anymore and he's not giving her any attention whatsoever,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: much lesser kids. And then with Janelle it took longer
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: because she was holding on because she believed in the
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: vision until maybe that fight at Christmas. Yeah, and she's like, well,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: then fuck you, and he takes that as her telling
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: him that he can't be with her anymore. I don't
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: remember a time Janelle ever said get out of my house.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: No, except for that big fight at Christmas last season.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: But he was walking out of exact he.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Was like, no, I'm not going to talk to you,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: and he's walking out of the place on his own.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: So it's just again, it's all very convenient for him, Yeah,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: because he can't take a terrible person and I hate him.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: We do not prefer him so much.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: And then we have like more in the conversation with
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Christine and Janelle about Thanksgiving plans, like holiday plans. Janelle's like,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I'm never coordinating a holiday with Cody ever again, which
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: we love. This is where Cody's like, I'm kicked out.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: I have FOMO. I want to be included, but nobody
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: wants my club.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: But I got kicked out of it. Okay, fuck you
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: removed yourself from your other families. You did that, you
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: made those choices, But I mean, like, let's not splitters.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I guess. And then we talk about
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: the Christmas text chat, yes, which we talked about last season,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: we get more into it, I guess because we hear
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: from Right and Brianna yep, who have clearly been coached,
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: brainwashed by their mother because their mother saw the feedback
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: and the backlash from everybody when last season Aurora said
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: that they heard that they weren't a part of the family.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Somebody had told them, and everybody said, including us, well,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: that must have been Robin. Maybe it was Michelt, and
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: then Robin told them, but it was probably Robin. And
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: so because everybody said that, Robin has taken pains, obviously
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: to me to tell her adult children get into that
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: couch and say that those kids told you directly that
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: you weren't part of the family, so that nobody thinks
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: it was me. Yeah, that was the one that was
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: telling you that. Yeah, And so they do their mother's bidding,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: and I had to fast forward through it. I was
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: just like, these poor kids, they're adult kids, but like,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: have their brains formed at all?
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: No, because your brain's not formed until you're twenty five.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know how old Aurora is, though maybe she's
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: twenty five. I don't fucking know, but I'm like, you
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: can think for yourself. But Aurora is sitting there saying,
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I've been told directly by multiple people, on multiple different
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: occasions that I was not accepted and that I was
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: not their sister. And I'm like, by who though, Because
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't it last season at Isabelle's party or whatever, and
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: you have all this footage of everybody hugging you guys
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: and accepting you into the family, and you guys were
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: happy and talking to everyone, and it.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Was you know what I think it is. I think
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: it's like season three, season four, when Peyden was being
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: a bully with the kids when they're coming into the family.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can see a world where Peyden may
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: have said some bullshit to those girls because we could
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: see him kind of doing that anyway, So I can
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: see when they were little kids, there was maybe trouble
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: with some of those kids, but they obviously worked it out.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I also want to say last season or the season before,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I think it was Gabe saying I think it was
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: last season. Gabe was like, yeah, I see Aurora at
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: college and we stop or in school, yes, and we
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: stop in the halls and we always talk with each other.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: And I love her a lot, and yes, and I
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: think she even talked spoke to that on the couch
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: last season, like yeah, I do see Gabe and it's good.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: He's my brother. Like so what's changed then, right, but
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: how did this happen? You guys are spinning fucking yarns.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's ridiculous.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: You're lying like your mom yep, and everybody can tell.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: And you ought to stop.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: I know, but they're like, they're kids and they're under
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: she's not a kid. Well I know, but they're under
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: their roof. No, and they're under their manipulation.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, but they're not kids. So at some point you
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: have to take responsibility if you're getting up on a
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: couch and you're talking about these other adult children who
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: tried to include you in the Christmas chat. They were
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: trying to include you, and then Robin inserted herself and said,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: let's get on a zoom and we're like, I can't
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: get on a zoom. I got a family and then
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I'll become a big deal. Yeah, but they were including
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: you then, right, So getting on the couch and saying
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: this is just shameful.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now shameful Robin's saying on the couch here, saying,
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: my kids emotionally unsafe, and I'm like, how in a
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: text message, Yeah, we are you kidding me? This is
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: the brainwashing though, and like maybe Aurora and Brianna will
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: wake up to it eventually, Like maybe when they move
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: out of their house and they become their own people,
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: separate from Cody and Robin, Like maybe they'll figure it
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: out and get back in contact with the siblings, because
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: that can happen, But I don't know right now. It's
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: just fucking frustrating to sit in I don't need to
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: see them.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't need to see the little flying monkeys
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: that Robin is sending into the space in order to
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: parrot her story. Nobody believes it.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Christine even said truly didn't even know that
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: these kids weren't biologically her siblings. Yeah, like come on, yep,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: you guys were included. Yes, it's bullshit. And then Cody's
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: saying some people in the family feel like they're superior,
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: and is that just Maddie.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's Maddie. I know it's Maddie for sure,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm like, I wonder who else he's referring to.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's Logo, and I don't think it's Hunter.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: I know it's not Michelti. At this point, I don't
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: know who it would be.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know either, Like who are you referring to?
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe Aspen, maybe the boys too? For maybe the boys?
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe the boys? Yeah? God? And who cares?
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: No? I mean, then heal it serious and.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: There's a problem, there's a breakdown. You're the dad, get
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: in there, do something about it.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: How about we talk about it.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go be fair.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: About it for real. With all that money you're siphoning
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: off for the Dickenziean villages, you could pay for family therapy.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: He could, good Lord. And then we have the wives
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: kind of discussing about Cody, like when he was around
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: when he wasn't around, and that's how the episode ends.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, well we'll just conclude it there.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm like, I don't care.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care either he wasn't there. Nobody cares
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: except for Robin.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Robin being like, yeah, I had to be independent.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Well, but she was like, no, it wasn't different when
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: he was there versus when he wasn't there. And I'm like,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: that's cause he was always there.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: He was always there.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Robin bitch, so stupid.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: And then we have a preview we have the family.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we didn't even talk about that. There was
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: an upcoming event.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Gwendolen's engagement. I think it's Gwendolen's engagement.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: It's weird that they're not saying that though.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, why are you being vague about it?
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Is it the engagement party? It's not Gwendolen's marriage, right,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't know. We'll see, we'll see.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so everybody's going to get together and nobody's
• 56:28
