288: Sister Wives Recap - You're Like a Stripper, I'm Like the Pole (S20 E7) · Reality TV Cringe

0:04
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Reality TV Cringe Podcast. I
0:08
Speaker 1: am one of your hosts, Beatriz, and I'm by myself
0:14
Speaker 1: this week. I don't have Delia. I'm a partner in
0:17
Speaker 1: crime because she is still recovering from her surgery that
0:22
Speaker 1: she had a couple weeks ago, and she's still not
0:24
Speaker 1: one feeling up to talk mad shit about these lunatics
0:29
Speaker 1: on our TV. So she still needs her rest and
0:33
Speaker 1: I'm just here taking over the show, taking over the
0:37
Speaker 1: show just for this week while she's still recovering. And
0:41
Speaker 1: next week she hopes to be back on the pod
0:44
Speaker 1: like normal, hopefully like with no issues or anything like that.
0:50
Speaker 1: She doesn't want anybody to worry about her, so please
0:52
Speaker 1: don't like be afraid or anything like. She's okay. She's
0:56
Speaker 1: just still recovering, and recovering takes time, you know, after sir,
1:00
Speaker 1: y'all know. So she's doing okay, she's just resting. So
1:05
Speaker 1: I am here and I am a little lonely. So
1:08
Speaker 1: I found this broom in a dumpster behind the seven
1:13
Speaker 1: eleven and I put Delia's wig on it. So those
1:17
Speaker 1: of you on audio listening you don't see this, but
1:21
Speaker 1: YouTube you'll see this little prop over here, and we're
1:25
Speaker 1: gonna pretend like she's sitting in this is my Wilson Okay,
1:29
Speaker 1: because I'm on this island of reality TV Gridge by myself.
1:33
Speaker 1: All right, So to issue the disclaimer, which I never
1:37
Speaker 1: usually do, but hide your wife, hide your kids. This
1:40
Speaker 1: is a politically incorrect podcast, especially with me on here. Okay,
1:44
Speaker 1: I am offensive, I got dumb opinions. I'm objectively stupid.

2:30
Speaker 1: why it's taking so long. I feel like we're getting
2:32
Speaker 1: shadow band, but if you could, you know, do all
2:35
Speaker 1: the things for the algorithm, that would be really helpful. Okay,
2:39
Speaker 1: so this week we're gonna cover Sister Wives. Last week
2:43
Speaker 1: we missed episode six because Delia had just had her
2:46
Speaker 1: surgery and we just canceled everything. But just to give
2:49
Speaker 1: like a brief recap from last week's episode, we had
2:53
Speaker 1: Cody skyping Mary and Janelle to talk about like an
2:58
Speaker 1: offer that they got on Kyoe Pass, and that shit
3:02
Speaker 1: was awkward as hell to watch man because Mary and
3:05
Speaker 1: Janelle don't want to be there. They hate Cody's guts,
3:08
Speaker 1: but they're just not saying it because I don't know.
3:11
Speaker 1: They're trying to be nice. Why I don't get it.
3:14
Speaker 1: And Cody is like performing as all narcissists do. He's
3:19
Speaker 1: trying to act all nice, he's trying to act all cordial.
3:22
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know why they can't just be
3:24
Speaker 1: friendly to me? Like what did I do? Why can't
3:27
Speaker 1: they just be friendly to me? Dude, nobody likes you.
3:31
Speaker 1: You're literally the worst person in the history of ever.
3:34
Speaker 1: So what do you expect Nobody's gonna be like Chipper
3:37
Speaker 1: to jump on a skype call with you to talk
3:39
Speaker 1: about Coyote Pass that should have been settled like four
3:42
Speaker 1: years ago, but whatever, So they got an offer on
3:45
Speaker 1: Coyote Pass. It looks like things are moving. Allegedly he
3:49
Speaker 1: has at this point in time already like moved around
3:53
Speaker 1: the titles so that way everybody is on their own
3:58
Speaker 1: plots of land, or like everybody will get their own
4:01
Speaker 1: twenty five percent cut once everything is sold. So like
4:04
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, I think tensions are still
4:07
Speaker 1: a little weird, still a little high, because they just
4:10
Speaker 1: want this shit over with and they want their ties
4:12
Speaker 1: to Cody to be immediately cut and be done. But
4:16
Speaker 1: Cody's oblivious because he thinks that everybody in the world
4:18
Speaker 1: should love him and should adore him and respect him
4:21
Speaker 1: because he could do no wrong. And so we had
4:23
Speaker 1: that skype call last week, which was awkward and infuriating.
4:28
Speaker 1: And then we also have Cody telling Robin that he
4:32
Speaker 1: got some email from some woman who allegedly wants to
4:37
Speaker 1: be a part of their life and be a polygamous wife,
4:41
Speaker 1: which is a crock of shit, because ain't nobody, ain't
4:45
Speaker 1: nobody reaching out to Cody Brown via email saying like, hey, daddy,
4:51
Speaker 1: I really want to be married to you because you're
4:54
Speaker 1: such a hunk of hunk of burning love and like
4:55
Speaker 1: I would love to be your second wife now that
4:58
Speaker 1: the other women are gone, Like nobody is doing that,
5:01
Speaker 1: but we're pretending like this happened. And then Robin says
5:05
Speaker 1: some weird comment last week that I just wanted to
5:07
Speaker 1: highlight that she could totally understand why young women would
5:12
Speaker 1: be attracted to Cody because he's an older man who
5:16
Speaker 1: is established, and he is marriageable material because he's already married.
5:23
Speaker 1: Like Robin literally said that with her words, anybody else
5:27
Speaker 1: thought that was weird. I thought that was crazy. I
5:29
Speaker 1: thought she was low key talking about herself there, But
5:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's up to interpretation. And so that
5:36
Speaker 1: was pretty much the gist of last week. I know
5:39
Speaker 1: I'm missing some stuff, but I just wanted to give
5:41
Speaker 1: like a brief recaps to catch us up. Last week's
5:44
Speaker 1: episode for me was very infuriating, and honestly, this whole season,
5:48
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is just rage bait, like total rage bait,
5:53
Speaker 1: and we're all falling for it. But we all are
5:57
Speaker 1: loyal to the show, and like we're loyal to like
6:00
Speaker 1: the family, like we've been watching for twenty seasons now,
6:03
Speaker 1: like we've been following along. A lot of us follow
6:05
Speaker 1: everybody on social media too, because we want to keep
6:08
Speaker 1: in touch with their lives and everything, and we care
6:12
Speaker 1: about the good people on the show. But like, sometimes
6:15
Speaker 1: watching it is just so rage inducing and I'm just like,
6:19
Speaker 1: am I torturing myself watching this? And the answer is yes,
6:24
Speaker 1: but you know we're here. So this week's episode, Season twenty,
6:28
Speaker 1: episode seven entitled You're Like a Stripper, and I'm like
6:32
Speaker 1: the poll was also equally infuriating for multitude of reasons,
6:37
Speaker 1: but like the title, ew, I don't want to think
6:41
Speaker 1: about Cody and Robin like that, but we'll get there.
6:44
Speaker 1: So we start the episode off with Mary and Jen
6:48
Speaker 1: at Mary's haunted B and B, and Mary decided it
6:52
Speaker 1: would be a good idea to pull out her boxes
6:56
Speaker 1: from storage of all of her wedding stuff from her
6:59
Speaker 1: and code and go through it on camera. And I'm like,
7:03
Speaker 1: was this Mary's idea or was this production's idea? Because
7:06
Speaker 1: to me it felt just a little awkward and like
7:09
Speaker 1: we didn't get much information out of this. We have
7:14
Speaker 1: Mary kind of talking about their wedding and how she
7:17
Speaker 1: didn't want it to be like a completely traditional polygamous
7:20
Speaker 1: wedding because she didn't want the like the line of
7:23
Speaker 1: people where she had to like greet everybody at her
7:25
Speaker 1: wedding and greet people that she didn't know, which apparently,
7:28
Speaker 1: like that's a thing in their culture that their parents
7:33
Speaker 1: invited just random strangers or their wedding. I don't know.
7:36
Speaker 1: I would never be down for that. And then she
7:38
Speaker 1: talks about how her and Cody wanted to dance at
7:42
Speaker 1: their wedding, especially Cody. Cody was like really keen on
7:45
Speaker 1: dancing at their wedding, and so he wanted to make
7:48
Speaker 1: sure that he had a dance room in a gym,
7:53
Speaker 1: in a basketball court. Let's dance. And then we hear
7:56
Speaker 1: from Cody saying, like, I really wanted to like dance
7:59
Speaker 1: crazy dances because back then, you know, rock and roll
8:02
Speaker 1: was like super taboos. I couldn't do that. I had
8:05
Speaker 1: to dance very pure, tentical according to my church's guidelines.
8:08
Speaker 1: So I really sucked because I really wanted to like
8:11
Speaker 1: do my jazz hands and do my purewets in the
8:15
Speaker 1: basketball stadium. But I digress. Like this leads into the
8:20
Speaker 1: rest of the episode, where Cody and Robin take dance
8:24
Speaker 1: lessons at some dive bar in flag Staff and it's
8:28
Speaker 1: just cringe as hell. But back to Marie and Jen,
8:31
Speaker 1: when they're talking about her wedding and like they're going
8:33
Speaker 1: through her shit, she pulls out her wedding dress. And
8:36
Speaker 1: this was cool because I didn't know that, like Mary
8:39
Speaker 1: had made her wedding dress. And she's really fucking talented
8:42
Speaker 1: at sewing, Like I know she sewed a lot of
8:46
Speaker 1: the kids's well actually all of the kids's like pajamas
8:49
Speaker 1: and stuff like that for Christmases, and and that's a
8:52
Speaker 1: feat in it of itself, but like to make her
8:55
Speaker 1: own wedding dress and it was actually pretty for the time,
8:58
Speaker 1: like props to her, and she she just doesn't want
9:01
Speaker 1: to get rid of it because she also made it
9:04
Speaker 1: with her grandma, who's obviously no longer in the world now,
9:08
Speaker 1: and she doesn't know what to do with it because
9:10
Speaker 1: she can't give it to like Leon, because Leon's not
9:12
Speaker 1: going to use it. And you know, she's like, what
9:15
Speaker 1: what do I do? Because it represents obviously like a
9:18
Speaker 1: period of my life where I made it with my grandma,
9:21
Speaker 1: but also it represents my marriage to Cody, So how
9:25
Speaker 1: do I deal with that, and I can relate. I've
9:27
Speaker 1: seen some people being kind of critical of Mary in
9:30
Speaker 1: this scene of just like, you know, why hasn't she
9:33
Speaker 1: just gotten rid of everything? Why don't you just burn everything?
9:36
Speaker 1: And you know, fair, it's a fair criticism, like why
9:40
Speaker 1: hasn't she just thrown all this shit in the river
9:44
Speaker 1: and let it rot? Because at this point, it's like
9:47
Speaker 1: Cody has discarded her. He discarded her years ago, so
9:51
Speaker 1: why don't you just do the same thing. But I
9:53
Speaker 1: can understand being kind of sentimental and like not wanting
9:56
Speaker 1: to get rid of all these things because it was
9:58
Speaker 1: such a large chunk of her life and she was
10:01
Speaker 1: married to this awful man for thirty something years, so
10:06
Speaker 1: of course she'd want to keep it right. But I digress.
10:09
Speaker 1: Then we get into some letters and things that she had,
10:14
Speaker 1: and she allegedly didn't know that she had this letter
10:17
Speaker 1: from Cody, and so then Jen wants to read the
10:20
Speaker 1: letter from Cody on camera, which I did appreciate because
10:23
Speaker 1: I did want to know the contents of that letter,
10:26
Speaker 1: and I did appreciate the based producers for zooming in
10:31
Speaker 1: on the letters so that we could read it fully.
10:33
Speaker 1: But this leads into a conversation where Mary says Cody
10:38
Speaker 1: used to write her letters all the time, and he
10:40
Speaker 1: used to be very sweet, and so that's why when
10:43
Speaker 1: he said, you know, a couple of seasons ago that
10:45
Speaker 1: he never loved Mary and never loved any of the
10:48
Speaker 1: other wives, that was completely disrespectful and completely untrue because
10:53
Speaker 1: she had all of this, like written proof to back
10:57
Speaker 1: that up. Now with the letter, though, it's not like
11:02
Speaker 1: he was confessing his love to Mary in this letter,
11:05
Speaker 1: like this letter that Jen is reading on TV is
11:09
Speaker 1: mainly about him and his work schedule and going to
11:13
Speaker 1: bed really late, and that you know, we have to
11:16
Speaker 1: suffer the trials we have to endure and then God
11:21
Speaker 1: will be good to us, and you know, just keep
11:23
Speaker 1: your head up Mary and make sure you smile and
11:25
Speaker 1: be pretty, because you know you're very pretty when you
11:27
Speaker 1: actually smile. And you know I love you though, because
11:31
Speaker 1: you're my bff. Okay, Bye. That's pretty much the contents
11:34
Speaker 1: of Cody's letters. So it wasn't like super romantic and
11:40
Speaker 1: super lovey dovey, but I guess if Mary thinks it was,
11:46
Speaker 1: then okay. But I'm just like you could at least
11:50
Speaker 1: burn these letters, like I understand keeping some of your
11:54
Speaker 1: wedding memorabilia, like I understand keeping your wedding dress or
11:57
Speaker 1: like your wedding book, like with signatures and stuff of all. Again,
12:00
Speaker 1: so like I understand keeping some things, but like to
12:02
Speaker 1: keep handwritten letters from Cody? Get rid of that shit?
12:07
Speaker 1: Like why are you holding onto that? It just kind
12:09
Speaker 1: of proves the theory that like Delia and I have said,
12:13
Speaker 1: and many other recappers have said that, like Mary is
12:17
Speaker 1: still holding on to Cody a little bit. Maybe it's spiritually,
12:22
Speaker 1: maybe energetically, because I think that if things were different,
12:26
Speaker 1: she would still want to be married to him to
12:29
Speaker 1: this day for that. For that reason, I have no
12:32
Speaker 1: idea why, like why would you want to be married
12:34
Speaker 1: to this man? But I think Mary still kind of
12:37
Speaker 1: loves him, so she keeps these weird letters for some reason.
12:41
Speaker 1: I don't know. I won't be too critical because I
12:44
Speaker 1: know some of y'all are going to come for me,
12:45
Speaker 1: But let me know your thoughts in the comments about
12:47
Speaker 1: like that whole scene and what you thought about it
12:49
Speaker 1: as well. And then in regards to that letter, we
12:53
Speaker 1: have Cody in a talking head saying that he only
12:56
Speaker 1: wrote all of those letters basically because Mary was too
13:00
Speaker 1: insecure and needed a lot of reassurance from him, and
13:03
Speaker 1: so she was, so he was trying to build some
13:07
Speaker 1: sort of confidence for her, and I'm just like, dude,
13:10
Speaker 1: shut up. You weren't building any confidence for literally anybody.
13:14
Speaker 1: You actually were devaluing everyone's confidence except for Robin's, like
13:18
Speaker 1: you were only propping up her, but for the rest
13:21
Speaker 1: of the women, like you did not care about their
13:23
Speaker 1: emotional or mental well beings whatsoever, or you didn't care
13:28
Speaker 1: about nurturing the love that you had between them at all,
13:32
Speaker 1: Like you were too busy working and too busy pining
13:35
Speaker 1: after Robin. And then we had a discussion about the
13:39
Speaker 1: Clota ring. So I guess Mary pulls out a Clota ring.
13:43
Speaker 1: She had a matching one with Cody, and this one
13:46
Speaker 1: that she pulls out in particular, had like a little
13:48
Speaker 1: diamond in it that was given from Janelle's mom, and
13:52
Speaker 1: that diamond came from the wedding ring that Janelle's mom
13:56
Speaker 1: had with her first husband, I think is what she
13:59
Speaker 1: was saying. Correct me if I'm wrong, But Mary recounts
14:03
Speaker 1: this as like a very sweet gesture, and she thought
14:06
Speaker 1: that was really nice. And then we get some clarification
14:09
Speaker 1: about the whole like melting down of the ring story
14:13
Speaker 1: that I guess we all thought that it was Mary's
14:16
Speaker 1: ring that was melted down, but it was Cody's ring
14:19
Speaker 1: that he had matching with Mary that he melted down.
14:23
Speaker 1: And he did this because he didn't want to have
14:26
Speaker 1: He didn't want Mary to have a claim over him
14:29
Speaker 1: at all in that kind of a way. So he
14:32
Speaker 1: melted it down and some of the gold went to
14:34
Speaker 1: like jewelry for some of the daughters, and then the
14:37
Speaker 1: rest of it went to a necklace that Mary had
14:43
Speaker 1: begged him for years later. And I'm like, Okay, I
14:48
Speaker 1: don't know where we're talking about this. We get it.
14:50
Speaker 1: He sucks. I wish we could get more like commentary
14:54
Speaker 1: from Mary about how that made her feel and how
14:58
Speaker 1: shitty that was and how she felt like he didn't
15:03
Speaker 1: give a shit about her like love for him. Like
15:06
Speaker 1: we get a little bit of a comment from her saying, like,
15:09
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of hurtple that he didn't want
15:11
Speaker 1: me to have a claim on him, but like, I'm
15:14
Speaker 1: also your wife, so shouldn't I have a little bit
15:17
Speaker 1: of a claim on you? Like we get a little
15:18
Speaker 1: bit from her, But this is just par for the
15:20
Speaker 1: course for Mary, it's like we get breadcrumbs and that's
15:23
Speaker 1: about it, and then that's about it. Like we didn't
15:28
Speaker 1: have much in that segment with Mary and Jen. We
15:31
Speaker 1: have Jen kind of like pushing Mary to get rid
15:34
Speaker 1: of all of this stuff and being kind of direct
15:38
Speaker 1: about it, and I do appreciate that from Jen, but
15:43
Speaker 1: at the same time, she might be coming off a
15:45
Speaker 1: little hard to Mary because Mary had just gotten divorced
15:48
Speaker 1: from a thirty something year old, thirty something year old,
15:52
Speaker 1: thirty something long marriage. So it is a lot and
15:55
Speaker 1: it's not easy to just like let that go, especially
15:58
Speaker 1: for Mary Brown, who has been to Cody this whole
16:02
Speaker 1: entire time and like still hoped that things would work
16:06
Speaker 1: out for them. So I appreciate what Jen is trying
16:09
Speaker 1: to do and trying to make Mary move on and
16:12
Speaker 1: trying to see Cody for who and what he is.
16:16
Speaker 1: But Mary, I think needs some time and I think
16:21
Speaker 1: that she can't be pushed too hard, you know what
16:24
Speaker 1: I mean. Then next we have Cody and Robin going
16:29
Speaker 1: on some dumb date at some dumb restaurant, and this
16:32
Speaker 1: is where they talk about their dumb lives and how
16:35
Speaker 1: their dumb children. I'm sorry, I just hate these two
16:40
Speaker 1: so much, like every time they're on my TV, I'm
16:42
Speaker 1: just like, god, uh, it just makes me so mad.
16:45
Speaker 1: But like, they go to this restaurant and they're dumb
16:48
Speaker 1: date and they're talking about how their kids keep them
16:50
Speaker 1: up at night all the time. They're adult children. I mean,
16:53
Speaker 1: I guess they've got Lil Saul and Ari, so that's
16:57
Speaker 1: probably who they're talking about. But they're they're talking about
16:59
Speaker 1: their kid it's keeping them up at night, and how
17:02
Speaker 1: Robin wishes it was actually Cody keeping her up at
17:05
Speaker 1: night sexually apparently you and how Robin's like, oh my god,
17:11
Speaker 1: I just can't believe I'm like this old, Like I
17:13
Speaker 1: still feel like I'm, you know, a teenager break dancing
17:19
Speaker 1: and like listening to nineties music. I just like want
17:22
Speaker 1: to dance, you know what I mean. Like I'm just
17:23
Speaker 1: like I don't even feel like my age. And this
17:25
Speaker 1: is where we get into a conversation about dancing and
17:28
Speaker 1: how they should go for dance lessons, and Robin kind
17:31
Speaker 1: of comes for Cody here a little bit, which is
17:33
Speaker 1: funny because she criticizes his dance moves and says they're
17:38
Speaker 1: terrible and that he's very exuberant and all over the place,
17:43
Speaker 1: and it's hard for her to try and dance with
17:46
Speaker 1: him because he doesn't really think about her as like
17:49
Speaker 1: his dance partner. He's just out there flailing his limbs around,
17:54
Speaker 1: looking like a total lunatic, and she's just standing there
17:58
Speaker 1: all shy and pretty, you know, not knowing what to
18:01
Speaker 1: do with herself. And so then this leads into oh, well,
18:04
Speaker 1: we should go take dance lessons because I'd love to,
18:07
Speaker 1: like dance tangle with you, because it's very romantic and
18:10
Speaker 1: like amazing, Like we should go take dance lessons, and
18:12
Speaker 1: Robin's like, oh my god, yeah, I would love that,
18:14
Speaker 1: And then we go in to a dive bar and
18:17
Speaker 1: fly staff and take fake dance lessons, and I just
18:22
Speaker 1: don't care, Like, I don't know why the producers think
18:25
Speaker 1: that we want to watch content like this, especially with
18:27
Speaker 1: Cody and Robin. Centered I would rather watch some of
18:30
Speaker 1: the boring content that we have with like Janelle and
18:33
Speaker 1: the kids out in North Carolina, or Christina David, or
18:36
Speaker 1: even Mary and jen going through her old wedding stuff,
18:40
Speaker 1: Like I would rather watch that than Cody and Robin
18:44
Speaker 1: taking dance lessons. I just I don't care about their romance.
18:46
Speaker 1: I don't care about their lives. I don't want them
18:49
Speaker 1: on my TV. But here we are. And then we
18:52
Speaker 1: have like Cody just talking about how much she loves
18:55
Speaker 1: Robin and I just I don't want to see it.
18:59
Speaker 1: I just don't want to see it. Him talking about
19:01
Speaker 1: emotional intimacy and how that's so important for him and
19:05
Speaker 1: Robin like how much he loves it. Like wait until
19:08
Speaker 1: we get to Special Forces this week when I recrap
19:11
Speaker 1: that shit because oh him writing the letter to Robin
19:15
Speaker 1: ew puke atronic, Like get that out of my face.
19:18
Speaker 1: But in this episode, you know they're dancing. They talk
19:23
Speaker 1: about Cody's dance moves. We have flashbacks of Cody's dance
19:27
Speaker 1: moves from previous seasons as if we haven't seen that
19:31
Speaker 1: like a million times. We gotta like put Cody out
19:36
Speaker 1: on display so that way he feels good in his narcissistic,
19:41
Speaker 1: grandiose perspective of himself. And we just got to talk
19:46
Speaker 1: about like him dancing I don't care. And while they're
19:51
Speaker 1: at their dance lessons, this is where we get the
19:54
Speaker 1: comment which is the title of the episode, of Robin
19:59
Speaker 1: saying like, yeah, we and you're dancing, You're like the
20:01
Speaker 1: stripper and I'm like the poll, like, ew ew, why
20:07
Speaker 1: tell me this? Why does Robin and why does Cody
20:10
Speaker 1: like need to make these like sexual comments about each
20:14
Speaker 1: other so often? It feels like it's almost every episode
20:19
Speaker 1: now where they have to make some kind of comment
20:21
Speaker 1: to allude to their sexual chemistry. We know, we know
20:27
Speaker 1: that y'all been fucking. We know that you guys love
20:30
Speaker 1: to fuck each other, we know that you guys are soulmates.
20:35
Speaker 1: That's great and all, but I don't want to hear
20:37
Speaker 1: about it, Like, I really don't want to hear about it. It
20:41
Speaker 1: kind of feels like Cody and Robin and maybe this
20:44
Speaker 1: is Robin doing this, but it kind of feels like
20:46
Speaker 1: they're only making these comments because they want to jab
20:50
Speaker 1: at the other wives, like especially Christine, who if you
20:53
Speaker 1: guys are on our Patreon and you watched our book
20:56
Speaker 1: club series about Christine Brown's book Sister Wife, she gets
21:01
Speaker 1: into her and Cody's sex life a bit, and it's
21:04
Speaker 1: pretty juicy, it's pretty terrible, And so I wonder if
21:09
Speaker 1: these comments that Cody and Robin are making about their
21:13
Speaker 1: lustrous sex life are little jabs to Christine and to
21:18
Speaker 1: marry too, because Mary was withheld physical and emotional intimacy
21:23
Speaker 1: for many, many, many years. I don't know. It just
21:26
Speaker 1: feels kind of icky to me every time they bring
21:28
Speaker 1: it up. It just feels like there's some kind of
21:30
Speaker 1: ulterior motive. And also it's icky because I don't want
21:33
Speaker 1: to think about them fucking. These two people are not sexy.
21:38
Speaker 1: They are not people I want to envision having sex,
21:42
Speaker 1: and I just hate them. So that's it on that.
21:48
Speaker 1: Then next we go to North Carolina where we have
21:50
Speaker 1: Janelle and the kids, some of the kids out there,
21:54
Speaker 1: And this segment was kind of boring of the episode,
21:57
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to like be critical. I think
21:59
Speaker 1: it's great that they are just like living their lives
22:02
Speaker 1: out there and they're kind of moving on from the
22:04
Speaker 1: drama of the family. I think that's awesome. Like we
22:07
Speaker 1: hear from Peyden and Gabe who's out there visiting the family.
22:10
Speaker 1: Both of them have girlfriends, which I think is great.
22:12
Speaker 1: Like Peyden's got a girlfriend named Ava, Gabe's got a
22:15
Speaker 1: girlfriend named Brie who lives in Chicago apparently, and he's
22:19
Speaker 1: going to relocate for her. Damn. Okay, that's cool. Like,
22:25
Speaker 1: I think it's sweet that they're moving on with their lives.
22:27
Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't make for like very compelling television
22:30
Speaker 1: in my opinion, to watch them talk about this kind
22:32
Speaker 1: of stuff. It's just kind of blah. We do hear though,
22:37
Speaker 1: from Maddie and Janelle. So Maddie is very pregnant. She's
22:41
Speaker 1: heavywood child, and she's about to pop any minute. And
22:44
Speaker 1: we have like her and Caleb packing her go bag
22:48
Speaker 1: and like planning her birth and everything like what they're
22:52
Speaker 1: gonna do and her due date. Like, so she's getting
22:55
Speaker 1: ready to have her baby. And we have just a
22:57
Speaker 1: brief segment with Janelle saying that at Maddie has not
23:02
Speaker 1: told Cody or Robin that she's pregnant or having another baby,
23:06
Speaker 1: because Maddie has not talked to Cody in two to
23:10
Speaker 1: three years at least. Yikes, And that's really sad to me.
23:15
Speaker 1: I'm a child that has kind of I have some
23:21
Speaker 1: difficult relationships within my own family, and it's really hard
23:26
Speaker 1: when you become so estranged like that to try and
23:30
Speaker 1: come back together, especially when some of those people that
23:34
Speaker 1: you were estranged from, like Cody Brown with Maddie, refuse
23:39
Speaker 1: to take any kind of accountability or refuse to even
23:42
Speaker 1: address the situation at all. Like, I'm sure Cody doesn't
23:48
Speaker 1: want to reach out to Mattie at all. I'm sure
23:49
Speaker 1: Cody feels completely victimized. Like I think he thinks that
23:54
Speaker 1: Maddie was the catalyst for all the shit talk within
23:58
Speaker 1: the family. I think Cody feels offended by Mattie voicing
24:02
Speaker 1: her opinions and feelings about her lack of a relationship
24:05
Speaker 1: with her dad and how he very poorly mishandled the
24:09
Speaker 1: family and mishandled all of the moms and all of
24:11
Speaker 1: the children. So, like, I think Cody is just bitter
24:15
Speaker 1: that his daughter's calling him out of a shit so
24:19
Speaker 1: he would rather sacrifice his relationship with her and his
24:23
Speaker 1: grandchildren then take any kind of accountability whatsoever. And that's sad.
24:28
Speaker 1: That's really fucked up and sad. So that was really
24:30
Speaker 1: the only thing that came out of this segment out
24:32
Speaker 1: in North Carolina was just that comment from Janelle. And
24:36
Speaker 1: it makes me sad for Maddie because you know, no
24:38
Speaker 1: kid wants to be no contact with her parents. Like
24:42
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously in abusive situations, it's necessary, okay, but
24:46
Speaker 1: like no kid really wants that. That's not the ideal
24:49
Speaker 1: like every kid wants to have their parents in their lives.
24:52
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I just I felt bad for Mattie,
24:54
Speaker 1: but I'm happy that she's got so much supportive family
24:57
Speaker 1: out there. I'm glad that Janelle's out there with her.
25:00
Speaker 1: I'm glad that a lot of the older og kids
25:02
Speaker 1: are out there as well and they're visiting. And you know,
25:05
Speaker 1: I've said this before on previous recaps, so I don't
25:08
Speaker 1: want to beat a dead horse, but like, I'm glad
25:10
Speaker 1: that even though the family has broken up, you still
25:12
Speaker 1: have these clusters of the family that are trying to
25:16
Speaker 1: remain unified, which is great. And then the last portion
25:19
Speaker 1: of the episode was in Utah with Christine and David,
25:23
Speaker 1: and this, honestly, this segment was really confusing to me
25:27
Speaker 1: because I wasn't sure what the fuck they were talking about, honestly,
25:30
Speaker 1: like it was all over the place. But we see
25:33
Speaker 1: Christine and David in their kitchen and apparently they just
25:38
Speaker 1: had had a heated discussion and according to Christine, it
25:42
Speaker 1: was like one of their biggest fights that they've ever
25:44
Speaker 1: had so far, Like isert the Homer Simpson meme here,
25:48
Speaker 1: like biggest fight of your life so far? But it
25:53
Speaker 1: was surrounding Payden. Now, let me try to narrate this,
25:59
Speaker 1: because to me, I was very confused. So if I
26:01
Speaker 1: get shit wrong, like, don't come at me in the comments.
26:04
Speaker 1: If you guys had other perspectives, please let me know.
26:07
Speaker 1: But according to David, he was talking to Peyden about
26:13
Speaker 1: how he is not genuine enough or like coming off
26:18
Speaker 1: as an authentic because Peyden relies on quotes from like
26:24
Speaker 1: movies and stuff to like illustrate his points or describe
26:30
Speaker 1: himself or something, and according to David, he just doesn't
26:35
Speaker 1: find that acceptable, Like he just thinks that's anauthentic and
26:39
Speaker 1: like you have to be able to create your own
26:42
Speaker 1: character or something. I don't know. It was very weird,
26:44
Speaker 1: And Christine is kind of offended by this because growing
26:49
Speaker 1: up she watched a lot of movies and read a
26:51
Speaker 1: lot of books with her children, and so her kids
26:54
Speaker 1: love to quote movies and love to quote books and
26:56
Speaker 1: stuff like that because that's just what they did growing up,
26:59
Speaker 1: and so they're nothing wrong with liking movie quotes. And
27:03
Speaker 1: I'm kind of on the side of Christine, like, I
27:05
Speaker 1: don't understand why David's being so critical of this. I
27:07
Speaker 1: think it's kind of a stupid thing to be critical of.
27:10
Speaker 1: But according to David, he's just like, I'm not taking
27:13
Speaker 1: any of this personally. I'm just having a discussion because
27:15
Speaker 1: I like to have discussions, because I like to be
27:17
Speaker 1: open to new views and new perspectives. Like, okay, but
27:21
Speaker 1: like you're criticizing Christine's son though, so that's a little
27:25
Speaker 1: little iffy to me. Whatever, But this conversation leads into
27:31
Speaker 1: a bigger conversation that's really about inauthenticity, I think with
27:36
Speaker 1: Christine and like with polygamy. Again, this whole segment was
27:42
Speaker 1: very confusing to me, so bear with me. But like
27:44
Speaker 1: Christine gets into a discussion about how her life in
27:50
Speaker 1: the past with Cody was so miserable and so terrible true,
27:57
Speaker 1: and so that she had to escape into books and
27:59
Speaker 1: movies and fake worlds and live a fake, you know, reality,
28:05
Speaker 1: so that way she could cope because her real reality
28:09
Speaker 1: was so fucking shitty. And I can understand that, I
28:12
Speaker 1: can sympathize with that. But according to David, he's like, well,
28:16
Speaker 1: but that's not the real world. Though, Like the way
28:18
Speaker 1: that you grew up is not the real world. You
28:20
Speaker 1: gotta come back to reality and like be a grown up. Basically,
28:24
Speaker 1: It's like, that's essentially what he's saying, and I just
28:27
Speaker 1: think that's kind of weird. I just think it's kind
28:29
Speaker 1: of a thing that's like very critical for no reason.
28:32
Speaker 1: I just didn't understand this segment at all, honestly, And
28:36
Speaker 1: Christine seemed pretty annoyed with David, but she was kind
28:39
Speaker 1: of holding back her real feelings. And she does say
28:43
Speaker 1: this in her talking head that like, you know, sometimes
28:46
Speaker 1: you just have to bite your tongue and not say
28:49
Speaker 1: how you really feel. And she's still learning to how
28:51
Speaker 1: to say how she really feels because she spent so
28:53
Speaker 1: much of her life, especially in her marriage to Cody,
28:57
Speaker 1: just bottling everything up and keeping it all inside. And
29:01
Speaker 1: that's no way to live. Obviously. I'm sure a lot
29:03
Speaker 1: of us can relate to that and relate to, you know,
29:06
Speaker 1: being afraid to stand in our own truth and be
29:11
Speaker 1: our authentic selves because there's so much pressure in the
29:15
Speaker 1: world and society to act and behave a certain way.
29:19
Speaker 1: So like I can relate to Christine here, but I
29:21
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I felt this scene with her
29:24
Speaker 1: and David was just odd, and it also made me
29:28
Speaker 1: wonder about the dynamics of their relationship, and we've talked
29:32
Speaker 1: about this on the pod, I think a lot last
29:35
Speaker 1: season when we had like their wedding special and stuff
29:38
Speaker 1: like that, like it may it makes me wonder how
29:41
Speaker 1: their actual day to day life is because Christine's in aries. Okay,
29:45
Speaker 1: she's hard headed, she's the ram. Okay, she's gonna be
29:49
Speaker 1: quick to react, she's gonna be loud and kind of annoying.
29:54
Speaker 1: And David, I think he's a Capricorn, so he's the
29:57
Speaker 1: complete opposite of that. And I just wonder how many
30:00
Speaker 1: these heated discussions they get into. And I wonder if
30:04
Speaker 1: they're only heated because of how Christine's taking things, or
30:08
Speaker 1: if they're heated because David's kind of critical, Because I
30:11
Speaker 1: just I don't know, why do you have to bring
30:12
Speaker 1: up Peydon using movie quotes? Like is that really that
30:16
Speaker 1: big of a deal for like a young man to
30:18
Speaker 1: just quote movies and stuff that he likes in a discussion,
30:22
Speaker 1: Like I feel like a lot of people do that.
30:24
Speaker 1: I don't see anything wrong with that, But correct me
30:27
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. If you guys had a different perspective
30:29
Speaker 1: about that whole scene, please let me know, because I
30:33
Speaker 1: don't know. I was just watching this, I'm like, what
30:35
Speaker 1: are we doing? Why are we talking about this? I
30:38
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care at all. And that's basically
30:41
Speaker 1: the episode. Really, I mean, there wasn't much to it.
30:45
Speaker 1: It was a kind of a boring episode this week,
30:48
Speaker 1: and again it's just a bunch of rage bait. But
30:50
Speaker 1: we do have a preview for what's to come. So
30:54
Speaker 1: we have apparently a full offer on all of the
30:57
Speaker 1: plots on Coyote Pass that they're going to close soon,
31:00
Speaker 1: which is nice for Mary and Janelle only because I
31:03
Speaker 1: don't give a shit about Coding and Robin closing on
31:06
Speaker 1: that stuff. I don't think those two deserve anything from
31:09
Speaker 1: Coyote Pass, the revenue from that. I don't think they
31:12
Speaker 1: deserve shit. But that's my opinion. So I'm glad that
31:15
Speaker 1: it's gonna close for Mary and Janelle and that's it.
31:17
Speaker 1: Then we have Cody saying that he apparently this was weird.
31:22
Speaker 1: He got to a place where he was ready to
31:26
Speaker 1: make a back door offer with Janelle behind Robin and
31:32
Speaker 1: Mary's backs to sell Coyote Pass from under them. What
31:39
Speaker 1: what are you saying? Obviously this is a lie because
31:43
Speaker 1: Janelle hates him, as everybody does, and like, why would
31:48
Speaker 1: you say that on TV? Like you were going to
31:51
Speaker 1: sell this property out from underneath Robin and Mary, Like
31:55
Speaker 1: that's not fair. And then you have Robin in the
31:57
Speaker 1: very next scene in the preview saying that, like, no,
32:00
Speaker 1: excuse me, this is not gonna happen. We're gonna make
32:03
Speaker 1: sure that this is all fair and square. I'm not
32:05
Speaker 1: gonna let this shit go like that, like we're gonna
32:08
Speaker 1: make sure everybody gets their equal pay. But really, Robin
32:13
Speaker 1: is only saying that to cover her ass, because she,
32:16
Speaker 1: in my opinion, only cares about getting her peace. She
32:19
Speaker 1: doesn't care about the other two. And then we have
32:22
Speaker 1: Mary saying that there's absolutely no trust between her and
32:25
Speaker 1: Robin whatsoever, which I do appreciate. I would like her
32:28
Speaker 1: to elaborate on that. What made you have the falling
32:32
Speaker 1: out with Robin? Is it because she stole your man?
32:35
Speaker 1: Can you just say that with your big girl words, Mary,
32:37
Speaker 1: I would really love to hear it. And then we
32:40
Speaker 1: have the infamous which we've already seen previews of the
32:43
Speaker 1: standoff of Coyote Pass with Mary, Janelle, Cody, and Robin.
32:48
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. I hope we get
32:50
Speaker 1: into that next episode, because that would be really nice
32:53
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can catch up a little bit in
32:55
Speaker 1: terms of the timeline. But you know, I say that
32:59
Speaker 1: every episod and it never happens. But that's it for
33:03
Speaker 1: this week with Sister Wives. Stay tuned for our Special
33:08
Speaker 1: Forces recap this week it'll be me and Seeking Sister
33:12
