  Speaker 1: in VAM thank you. So did you have any takeaways
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: from this episode of Sister Wives, Speedra.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I just felt so bad for a little baby, truly.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, she just looked so sick, just like swaddled
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: up on the couch and her little blue banket, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, man, mm hmmm, I feel so bad.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Cody kind of made me mad about the whole thing. Yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I mean we'll get into it, but it's just like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I just felt bad for a little baby truly.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually obviously felt bad her truly because she
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: went through like a very serious medical event. But I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: also really felt bad for Aspen because this is a child,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a woman, a young woman who has been so deeply parentified,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and she has not been given like the psychological resources
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and assistance to be able to process as an adult
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: parent would. And so here is this young child, three
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: year old, truly, who may not make it. Yeah, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Aspen was the main child who was taking care of,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: truly while all the wives went to San fran and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Cody pretended he was a father while he burned the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: steaks on the grill. And so I just can only
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: imagine the sense of responsibility and then the subsequent sense
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of failure that she might have been grappling with, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you kind of see her break down a few times
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in this episode, and I'm like, oh, Aspen, I know
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it wasn't your fault, it's not your responsibility, and you're such.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: A good girl. I know she did the best that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: she could. She's like, what eighteen or seventeen right here.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel bad for her too, But it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: was a good episode without further a jew, Let's get
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: into season six, episode sixteen, entitled.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Brown's in Crisis, op Lord, and they were. They were
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: definitely in crisis. But before we get into like all
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of the Truly stuff, we start off the episode with
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Christine saying that she took Truly to the doctor after
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: she was sick last episode, and the doctor was like, oh,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: she just has the flu, like whatever, and they sent
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: her home. So while she's at home trying to recuperate
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: from said flu, the adults go out and they start
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to like look for shit for their commitment service. Yes,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they go pick up flowers and and.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Then we're talking about a lot of flowers. Yeah, the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: whole family loves Kaliily.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Snory. It's so dumb. And then we go and look
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: at cakes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Well before we look at cakes, though, they come up
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: with the bright idea of a tree, and so like
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they're looking at the foliage and the different flowers, right
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and Mary at the florists, just like, well, it wouldn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: be cool if we had like a tree of life motif?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Oh for the theme, oh for the sea of the party.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So this is I guess where it starts to really
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: take on a life with the Browns. And this becomes
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: ultimately the theme of their commitment ceremony, the tree of life,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: because they're finally in the cul de sac. They can
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: put down their roots and they can grow together, which
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: just kills me.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: It's so stupid.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Obviously, in five years you're gonna be leaving Las Vegas
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and moving to flag Staff and you've got a time capsule,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you've got a tree that you're planting, and like you're
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: just going to abandon all of Yes, crazy, it's absolutely
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: crazy business.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's absolutely insane. And then when they go and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: meet with the cake designer and they start talking about
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: like what they envision for the cake, and Cody comes
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: up with the bread idea.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Of I want a giant tree cake.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I want it to be at least thirty six inches high.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: It's got to feed five hundred people. I want it
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to be a big old stump with a big old
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: bushel of tree, and the cake designers like, okay, we
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: can try to do that. It's gonna be eighty five
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars though, I.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Know, and Janelle before she even heard the cost of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the cake, it's just like, we have to think about prices,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and we have to think about like what we can
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: afford and what's in the budget. And yeah, even though
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: this show has been on for six seasons on TLC,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they're not necessarily rolling in a ton of dough. Yet
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they've probably over extended themselves in order to get into
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: these call to sack homes and now they're trying to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: sort of live according to that lifestyle and that's costing money.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And so we still have Janelle trying to be the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: voice of reason, like, do we really need an eighty
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: five hundred dollars you know, circuit to twenty thirteen twenty
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: fourteen cake for our dumbass for content only party that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to be a part of.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy because you see Cody's like desire
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: to be like to portray himself as richer than he is, Like, Oh,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I want this big, beautiful, fancy tree, and like when
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the cake designer says it's gonna be eighty five hundred dollars,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Cody at first kind of seems like oh okay, And
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Janelle's the one that has to reel him back, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: even Christine is like, we don't really need that cake.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: We're sorry to dash your hopes and dreams for this
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: big beautiful tree cake, but like we don't need that,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Like we can just have a regular smegular cake from Kroger,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Like it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Absolutely, Like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't believe Cody, and he seemed like genuinely
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: upset by it. I wonder if he like held a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: little bit of resentment because he didn't get his dream cake.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's all about him, it is, And it's all about
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: how he projects himself to be and what he wants.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And I can't believe that they're expecting five hundred people
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I know to attend this backyard come initm in ceremony,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Like do they know five hundred people?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: TLC does?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, I guess we're gonna get there, when we get there, absolutely,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but they wanted to be special with Kal. Lily's a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: tree and a cake of a tree.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And I was like thinking back into the archives when
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I watched these episodes way back in the day, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: like the commitment ceremonies booty, Like their dresses are booty.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: The dress is booty. I'm just like, this is gonna
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: be so dumb.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They can't wait, like everything they do.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Of course, and then we go over to Leon and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: it's Leon's last day at home, I think, because they're
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: going to college, yes, and this is where they're like
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: preparing for like a going away party, and Cody wants
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to take Leon car shopping, and I'm just like wondering,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: did the other kids get to go to car shopping?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Did they have a car? Did they get a car
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: from like Craigslist? And Leon gets to go to a dealership,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: like I don't.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Know, Well, I'm wondering who's paying for this vehicle for
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that because in later seasons, I do believe just last season,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Mary's like I got the car, I paid for the tuition.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I was the one who had to extend myself and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: come out of my own pockets on behalf of Leon's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: so I'm just like, are you even going to pay
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: for this car? Why?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Know?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So acting like you are.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I know, it's super weird to me. But like Leon's
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: big day of going to college and everything gets overshadowed
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: by Truly because Truly is just getting like sicker and sicker.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: This is where Christine decides to take Truly to the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: doctor's office again, because she ended up going.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Cross side a few times.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: A few times apparently according to Aspen and mchelte.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Which okay, So finally when Christine sees Truly go cross side,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: she realizes, oh, this is disturbing. It's something wrong. We
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: need to go to the doctor. But according to Aspin
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and mchelty, they had seen it a few times before that. Yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I would imagine they sent up the flare and let
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Christine know, And I'm like, why aren't we Why are
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: we not going to the hospital. And I wanted to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: ask you a question about the doctor visit after San Francisco,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: because at the top of this episode, like you said,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they again took Truly to the doctor. The doctor's like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: it's probably just the flu. Yeah, and we know that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: she is very shortly from that point going to go
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: into a cute kidney failure, Like, is there really no
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: fevor for a cute kidney failure? Is there really no
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: symptom or other symptoms that they would have been able
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to pick up on before she's keeling over and going crossside?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not sure with kids, like I know
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: with adults, like it's it presents a little bit differently.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Kids are like super resilient until they're not. And so
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, they probably went to the pediatrician
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, she's got the flu, which I
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: think she did actually have the flu. She just ended
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: up like severely dehydrated and then ended up in the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: kidney failure because of the dehydration. But she had the flu,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: and so that's what they're they're just gonna say that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: They're just gonna be like, yeah, she's fine, just you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: like give her some theraflu and she'll be fine, like whatever.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: But because she ended up so dehydrated, that was why
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: she ended up getting cross eyed and going to the
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: getting into kidney failure.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And with regard that didn't mean to cut you, no, no,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: with regard to the dehydration. So if she had the flu,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: then as a parent, I would know, like, is she
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she's poopin, I don't know if
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: she's barfin, But like, whatever she's doing, I'm giving her
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: pedia light, I'm making sure she's got electrolytes. I'm making
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: sure in particular that she's got fluids that she needs.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But when you delegate that responsibility to Aspen, who may
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: not have I mean, she probably does, but she may
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: not have the knowledge of that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Or she's eight.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: She's eighteen, and Michelti, who's even younger than that. And
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you're like, not, we talked about this last week, You're
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not actually staying over at Christine's house because every time
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I saw Cody, He's coming out of Robin's house exactly.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So yep, And I'm like, why y' always over there already?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: The first year in the called?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Is that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: So you've got these two young girls who probably just
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: don't know better that they've got to continue to be
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: pushing ped light and fluids and all of this, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: so we have this inevitable breakdown of truly and I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: just I feel like it's not a fluke. And I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people think that this is just happenstance,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and like, we can't blame Cody, we can't blame anybody.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But I'm just like, I don't know, but as a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: mom and stuff like that with a sick kid, I'd
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: be like, why aren't you just push and fluids the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: entire time? I don't understand why being judgmental.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I mean no, because I kind of thought the same thing.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And I think that this is like indicative of the
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: problem of having like such a large family too, because
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: things like this get overlooked, like when you have so
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: many kids, and like if it's just Christine managing all
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of these kids by herself, and I'm not trying to
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: like make excuses for the parents not paying attention or
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: anything like that, but like if Cody's not around and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Christine is having to juggle a bunch of other things
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and she's delegating all these tasks to the eldest kids,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: it's like, of course it's gonna get missed. And that's
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: what's so unfortunate, because this really could have been like
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the end for truly and it's terrible. Like I'm really
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: glad that she pulled through and she's healthy and thriving now,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: but like watching this bag. I'm like, this is crazy,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Like how did this go unnoticed? Because once Christine finally
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: notices Trulyie's going cross side, she takes her to the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: doctor and I'm just like, why didn't you go to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the er straight? Did you just go to the er straight?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: You go to the pediatrician. Okay, pediatrician tells you go
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to the fucking er, bitch, and then she goes and
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Christie's like, oh my god, I had no idea it
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: could be so serious. I'm like, what do you mean?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So I have to insert a personal story at this point.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: It is probably one of the funniest stories to come
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: out of my family because of my daughter your wife. Yes,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So when my daughter your wife was I want to say,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in fourth grade, third or fourth grade, little I got
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a call from her school saying, missus Delia, something is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: wrong with your daughter. All of a sudden, in like
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: third period, she started having cross eyes, like her eye crossed,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and she was sent to the nurse. We've checked her out.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: She seems fine otherwise, but like her eyes are definitely
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: cross something's wrong. And I was like immediately thinking, oh no,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: like brain too, and I don't have six kids. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of experience, but I just immediately
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: thought neurology. I thought a brain. I'm like, I'm taking
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: her straight to the hospital. So I went and picked
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: her up. We went to the er. My then husband
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: was like miles and miles away, but I'm on the phone.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to my brother. We get into like the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: er and her eyes are definitely crossed, and so I'm
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: talking to the doctor outside of like the little room,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and he's like, well, like, nothing else seems to be wrong.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It's just very very anomalous and strange that she would
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden have cross eyes. So we're gonna
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: have to send her for an MRI. Is a cat,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: She's going to have to be imaged, because the only
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: thing I can think of is that maybe there's a tumor,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: maybe there's something going on, and so of course this
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is what we do. That's the next step. She gets
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: sent for an MRI, and I am just internally breaking down.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like Christine in this episode, like I am despondent
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: because I can't think of anything else that it can be,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and if it's a brain tumor, like the implications of that,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I am just falling a part of on the phone
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: with my brother. My brother is praying for me, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: like it was so traumatic, and it was like literally
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: hours as you do when you go to the emergency room.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So they take her to the MRI, they image of her,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: get the results back absolutely no problems. Yeah, normal, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know what's going on with your
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: daughter here, and but she seems perfectly healthy. Like the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: tests we've run, all other secondary tests seem fine. And
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: so what they did was they called this ophthalmologist or
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: this eye doctor. Like it was nine pm by the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: time we got out of the hospital and they asked
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: him to open up his ophthalmology office. He came in
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: special to meet with my daughter and he fitted her
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: with little glasses to help her correct her eyes. Stop
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it so no, So then he made the glass on
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the spot. It took a couple of hours he made
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the glasses on the spot for her. We got the glasses,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: we got home and we finally just said, okay, let's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: go to sleep. And the entire time her eye, her
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: one eye is crossed in and I'm like, go to sleep,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: we'll wake up, you'll have glasses. It'll be really cool,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It'll be fine. And I'm breaking down as a mom.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm breaking down Beatrice. And so the next morning, you know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I walk into her room and she wakes up and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: her eyes are okay, her eyes are back to normal,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, are you can you see okay? She's like, yeah,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I can see perfectly fine. So long story, long, bitch.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: It comes out later, Yeah, quite a while later.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I just think it's a miracle. And Jesus is alive
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: in me and you and in my daughter, and miracles exist,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and I live in a magical space. Yeah, he says
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. Months later, my daughter tells me that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: she was faking it the whole time, and you know why, right,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And she was faking it because she was being bullied
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: by somebody at school, was making trouble. She didn't want
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to go from third period into fourth period if she
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: wanted to be able to come home. And so when
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: she tells me this months later, she was wise to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: do that, because I was so fucking pretended. If she
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: had told me in the hospital, I would have lost
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: my shirt of court. What the are you doing about?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: But she waited, and so I was able to chuckle yeah,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and then I was in awe that she kept her
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: one eye crossed for literally, like I picked her up
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: at I don't know noon, for literally eleven hours. She
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: kept one of her little eyes crossed the entire time,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and she was faking.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: She went into the MRI with the cross eyes with
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: a cross dye the entire came out with a gross dye,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: went and saw the emergency optician or ophthalmologist, whichever.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Is the doctor one, and they made her fancy glasses.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: You know what hanty glasses. They do that with prisms.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: They put prisms in her glasses because I used to
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: work for an eye doctor, and that's what they they
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: made her. I didn't even know that bird.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: It was just a prescription he made that. Yes, yes,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: So she had these fancy glasses set on her nightstand.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: When she woke up in the morning, I was gonna
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: be like, it's okay, But her eyes were back and
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it was all fake. At least, it was all a lie.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: That is my daughter, and I have to respect it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: She was being bullived, but yeah, and that's that's bad.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And then I started teaching her how to fight and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But which is good. Now, Yeah, but
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I mean that was my cross eide story. Not the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: same as little truly, No, like she had cross eyes
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: for an actual reason. But that's the lengths my daughter
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: would go to not have to go to fourth period.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it just speaks to like how Christine is feeling now,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: like you can relate to that sense of panic of
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: like just looking at your young child and being like,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: oh my god, what the fuck is wrong? And then
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: for Christine's sake, like they get sent to the er
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and the doc is like worried that it's meningitis which
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: is fatal, or freaking a brain tumor or whatever, and
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: he even says it could be kidney failure. And sure enough,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: they find out that she is in kidney failure because
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: her labs are all out of whack. She has no
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: fluids in her according to Cody, and she has to
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: be admitted into the hospital and it's terrible.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Terrible, terribleying. And they're hoping that if they give her
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: fluids and they keep her in the hospital that our
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: own systems will come back online and she'll start urinating
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and she'll start like getting back on track. But that
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: like doesn't happen. No, for days, for days, they give
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: her some special medicine to sort of fill her up
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: with some fluids, and they have to catheterize her because
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it's not coming out before they try the dialysis, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: so they didn't do They did abdominal dialysis, which I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: didn't even know was a thing. Versus what are you doing?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Is it Carolina Reaper?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: You can't just walk in on our podcast?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Is it really good? It has the texture of the bread.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, really good, and so it's not too hot
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: with the Carolina Reaper pepper.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I put the whole thing in there.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't know seeds and all. Yes, Oh my gosh, yesh,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you like it really?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you all for you.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that, everybody listening and watching. That was my husband.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: My daughter in law here is a very accomplished and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: talented baker of sour dough.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I am obsessed with it and I bake them sour
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: dough every week.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Every week I get a halapeno chadder low yeah gets
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: whatever you're making for him.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: He always makes me do like some weird spicy pepper things.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: So he's growing hobbin niaro's, yeah, And so he gave
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: her some hobbin niaros for some hobbin niaro bread. But
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: he's also growing ghost peppers, scorpions.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: And carolina apparently.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't really know of them. And so he
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: thought when he saw a red hobin niero looking pepper
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: that it was just an overly ripe papennero or something.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: He thought it was. He told me it was a
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Scotch bonnet.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Well that's a hobbin nyiro.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, He's like, it's a Scotch bonnet.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Thought it was like a red one.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And so I took it home on Sunday and I'm like,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make him bread and I'm gonna surprise him.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't even tell him I was making bread. I
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: brought it over and then he texts me today as
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: his bread's in the oven, He's like, oh, by the way,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: February gave you is a Carolina reaper. I'm like, oh, okay,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: well I put it in your bread.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: You're gonna try it no matter what. So he's just
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: busting in to let her know that it was really good.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that. So we were talking about truly getting
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: abdominal dialysis, yes, versus what other kind of dialom No.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Abdominal dialysis is pretty common it's for your kidneys.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bet there was another type of dialysis
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: she could have got that was more hardcore that they
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: were starting with the abdominal dialysis. Yeah, I mean what
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the other one was.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's just how it's how it's fed through. Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I think for like kids, it's a little bit different
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: because they're so small and their bodies are so delicate,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Like it's different like for older people and stuff that
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: are getting dialysis and everything. But yeah, so they didn't
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: want to start her on dialysis at first because she
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: is such a little baby and they don't want to
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: put her through all of that. But because she had
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: she wasn't peeing, and she had no fluids in her
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: and she wasn't retaining anything, and her labs were all
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: out of whack, then they had to start the dialysis.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: And I think there was like on like day seven
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: or eight or something like that, like she's in the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: hospital for like a freaking week. I think total, she
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: ended up in the hospital for like eleven days yep,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: which is insane for like a little three year old baby.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: And the doctors were telling Christine and Cody, like, you know,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: cases like this, we don't see the kids making out
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: So just FYI, that's a terrible thing to say to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a parent who's standing vigil over their daughter. Horrible as
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: having a cute kidney failure. And I just really felt
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: for Christine here because it seems like every night Cody
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: got to go home to Robin's house and stay with Robin,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and then in the morning he would check in with Christine,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: who again has been standing or sitting or laying vigil
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the entire time, with truly getting in and out of
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: her hospital bed, because Truly would call to her and say,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: come with me, Mommy in the bed, and so she'd
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: get in the bed, but there's so much wires and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: so many things that she couldn't stay in the bed.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: And so but Cody gets to just be Disney dad
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: in the situation and like skip out of the hospital
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and go back to his favorite wife and just call
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in and get check ups. I mean, it's not like
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: he didn't care, and I'm not trying to say that
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: he doesn't. It's just like it's not something my husband
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: would do. That shit is not something I would do.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: That's what pissed me off about this because I'm just
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: like I think I saw a post about it on
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Reddit a while ago of somebody saying like this would
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: have been an opportunity for polygamy to like really shine,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Like all three of the other wives that are home
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: with all of the other kids could have taken over
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the forts and like taken over where Christine was gone
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: and where Cody was gone, so that way Cody could
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: be with Christine in the hospital with his little baby
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: three year old that is in kidney failure. But no,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Cody goes home and stays with Robin for some reason,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: as if he's like super fucking helpful, like we saw
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: just last episode when he's when everybody's in San Francisco
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: and he's burning steaks and he can't deal with all
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: of these kids around. He has to have Aspen and
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: call her seventeen times to have her help and be
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the parent because he can't manage any of the kids
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: because he doesn't want to. It's just like it kind
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: of pissed me off, honestly, like he should have been there.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: The absolutely, especially in the beginning. Yes, the first night
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that truly's in the hospital, Christine obviously stays all night,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: but Cody goes home because again, they're having a party
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: for Leon, and he wants to show up and let
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: everybody know what's going on. And then I think it's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the next day when Christine calls. Is it's the next
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: day when Christine calls and Mary gets the I forget
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: there's an update. Christine's calling. She's not getting better, yes,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and so Cody's going to have to go back to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the hospital. And so then we see Robin walk up
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to her purple bedroom, which means we're in Robin's house
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and wake up Cody, who's taking a nap in her
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: house and say, hey, like, it's not good. Actually, truly's
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: not getting better. The medicine's not helping. You need to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: go back to the hospital.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I hate to judge other parents
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: obviously judge I am, but I'm like, so, you're a
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Robin's house. Why aren't you at Christine's house. Why aren't
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you with the siblings of Truly, especially Aspen and mckelthe
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: straighta who were probably really torn up about the fact
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: that their little sister that they were taking care of
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: because you're not a dad, Like, why wouldn't you be
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: with them, comforting them and being with them as you're
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: waiting for updates if you have to not be.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: At the hospital, you know, that's a good point, Like
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: why are you at Robin's house? Why aren't you at
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Christine's where Christine is not available because she's in the
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: hospital with your kid? That? Oh God, that's what pisses
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: me off. I am totally judging Cody for it because
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, you're being kind of absent, dude. Yeah,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: your wife needs you and your little baby needs you, right,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: because we all know that if King Solomon was in
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: the hospital with kidney failure, Cody would have been there
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the entire time I think it's happened twenty four to seven,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: he would have been there.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And it kind of lends itself to this idea that
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you see floated around the community that like Cody never
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: really liked truly that much, or maybe never really bonded
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: with truly that much, didn't seem to really enjoy truly.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And I think it was in this last season SE's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: in nineteen when Cody and Robin show up to Gwendolen's
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: engagement party, or or maybe it was Michelty and Tony's
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: house and they show up and truly sitting on the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: couch and Cody doesn't even say hi to her, doesn't
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: give her a hug, doesn't even acknowledge her at eleven
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: or twelve years old or whatever she is at this time.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think he ever bonded with her. I mean,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I think he cares about her, but not like cares
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: cares about her.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's like a superficial like, oh no,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I'm a dad, I care about my kids, but you
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: don't actually care because if you did, your actions would
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: speak for that. And obviously, poor Cody like truly has
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: to watch this stuff back. I mean she probably isn't,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, Like if she ends
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: up watching this stuff back, she'll see that her dad
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: wasn't even there like the entire time. While she's in
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: the hospital like dying basically like you're in kidney failure. Yeah,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: like you have to be on dialysis and luckily a
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: miracle like it ends up working. But after like fourteen
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: hours of being on dialysis is when it starts to
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: finally work. Because they started her on it, it wasn't
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: working right away. And I think that was when Christine
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: called somebody like Mary or whatever and Cody's home and
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Mary tells him, you can't come with me and Leon
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: to college, like you need to stay here for Christine.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Because Cody was gonna go. He was gonna go up
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: to Utah with Leon and Mary and see Leon off
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: in their dorm and like, I can understand that you
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: want to be involved for your kids, like big day.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I understand that it sucks for Leon to have all
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: of their college stuff overshadowed by this tragic like thing
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: that's happening with Truly. But the fact that Cody even
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: had that thought of like, no, I'm gonna be in
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Utah with you guys, and Mary has to tell him
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: stay home, dude, stay home and be there for Christine.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: It's like kind of crazy to me.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Yep, agreed.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: And then I think after fourteen hours of dialysis it
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: starts to work, and then it wasn't working. And then
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Cody says that he tried to get Truly to have
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: like a peepee poop poop party or something, and so
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: he takes credit for that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, he takes credit for this. So in the eve
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: that she gets better and we're like, so we're ten
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: days in nine days and whatever it is, Cody decides
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to have some sort of a rallying talk with truly,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: like on a level that a three year old can understand,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and he asks her to please pee in your dip. Yeah,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and then you know, poop in your dip and let's
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: have a pee poop party.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: And Christine's like, yeah, I actually saw like a little
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: sparkle in her eye when he said that, Like she
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: really got what he was asking for, and that gave her,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: like what Cody is trying to say that that gave
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: her the inspiration, Yeah, to finally pee. I'm like, Okay,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I think it was the dialysis and I think this
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: is the functioning kidneys and stuff like that. But it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: was really glaring to me how he felt the need
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to take credit somewhat.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, definitely for what.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Was happening with his child. I mean it's so narcissistic.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, communal narcissist. Like, oh, look at what I did.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: If I hadn't said that, right, I don't know where
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: we'd be.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, shut the fuck up, dude. Meanwhile, you're
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: going back home to go and sleep in Robin's bed
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: while your kid is still in the hospital getting dialysis.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: But like okay, and then it's like the ninth day
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: or something. Dialysis is finally working, She's finally being after
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Cody saved the day and saved her life or whatever.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: And I think this is where Aspen goes and visits
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: the hospital. Is this where we start seeing her breakdown
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: or was that before she.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Broke down a couple before. Yeah, she broke down a
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: couple of times. The first time was kind of early
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: into it, when the family gets together to pray and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Aspen is asked to lead the prayer, which again I'm like,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: people pay attention to other kids in the world, right,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: like pay attention to what's going on with Aspen, And
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: so Aspen starts to pray, but then she she breaks
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: down in the middle of the prayer and I felt
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: really bad for her, but yes she does. I think
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: towards the end go and visit a little truly, and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: you can kind of just see the maternal bond, at
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: least from Aspen's side of it, Like she needed to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: put eyes on this child, she needed to give her
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: a hug, she needed to be there for her because
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: she's essentially stand in mama.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I think this is where Christine calls
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the family and tells them that things are getting better
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: and that she Truly gets to go home the next day,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: and everybody's super excited, and then they bring her home
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: the next day. The whole family greets her. I think
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Leon's up in college though.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. The day after Truly goes into the hospital,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Mary does take Leon up to Westminster and gets them
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: checked into the dorm. What do y'all.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Don I didn't moved into the dorm and Leon's really happy,
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: but at the same time, Leanna is very concerned about
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Truly because that's Leon's.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Sister well, and Mary even says that, like, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: it's kind of sucks that Leon has this like really
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: exciting day of starting college and moving into the dorms,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: and like how fun of an experience that is, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: it's coupled with this crazy thing with Truly, but Truly
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: ends up getting out of the hospital, she ends up
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: feeling a lot better. You can see the life coming
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: back into her face, and she's brought back home. The
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: whole family's excited, and then Christine says something about how
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: this whole experience like connected her and Cody better and Chris,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Cody and truly.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I think it was Okay. Christine says, this whole event
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: has caused me to really be present with my children,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Like when they're talking to me, I'm looking into their eyes. Yeah,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: when they need something from me, I stop what I'm
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: doing and I am with them. Cody is the one
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: who says that's this medical event brought me closer to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: truly and helped me to connect with Christine. It brought
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: us closer key again, so indicating and or implying that
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: they haven't been close mm hmm, and that there are
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: definitely issues in this relationship. Yeah, and it took this
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: terrible experience to get them to be together in even
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: close proximity. Yeah, like together in the hotel at the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: hospital room from time to time, and that helped their relationship.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, what happens though, as soon as there's
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: not a medical problem. What happens as soon as like
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you go back to Robin's mcmanson, where's Christine, Then she's
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: still taking care of all of these kids.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Well, And that's like where I'm thinking he's lying about that,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: because I'm like, most of the time when health issues
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: and things like this happened between couples, it usually puts
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: a massive strain on the relationship because if I was Christine,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I probably would feel a little bit bitter about the
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: fact that my kid was sick on his watch while
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I'm in San Francisco and he didn't pay attention to
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: the fact that she was fucking dehydrated, and he made
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: my eighteen year old and sixteen year old daughters take
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: care of my three year old baby that too.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Though Christine makes her children watch over her littles.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, but she's also still more of a present parent
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: than Cody is. Like Cody's in their burning steaks on
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the gril. Yeah, So it's like, I don't know, I
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: don't know if Cody is just talking out his ass
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: here to try and like save face because he doesn't
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: want people to pick up on the fact at this
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: time that him and Christine and her family are struggling.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, I'm wondering how Christine's feeling. But Christine
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: does say, like you'd said, she feels more close to
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: all of her kids. She doesn't want to take any
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: of the moments with them for granted, she's trying to
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: be more present with them. So it did help Christine
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: like realize, like, oh shit, I got to stop being
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: like all over the place. I need to focus on
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: what matters, which is my kids.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Right, And I thought that was wonderful, And then they
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: kind of tried to dovetail that into or roll that
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: into the upcoming commitment celebration. Like you know, you worry
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: about things and there's squabbles in the family, but like
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: this really reminds us of what is important, and it
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: is our family and it is our being together, and
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: so that really makes the celebration that's coming up much
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: more important, the focus of what we are building together
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: as the architects of our lives. Oh God, like, shut
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the fu shut up.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: This whole commitment ceremony is so dwn care. It's so
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: cursed too. I'm just like you're talking about this and
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, we all know that this commitment didn't last.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Just called a sack. These roots never get a chance
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: to get burrowed into the death or watered because you
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: guys pick up and you leave.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: And you just like you always do, always, yeah, just
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: to run away from all their problems. It's crazy, but
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: we get into that preview. We talk about the commitment ceremony.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody gives a shit. We talked to some contractor who
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: is talking about how polygamy is terrible, and I'm like.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Every single person, it's got to be every single proclaimed
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: to them that we are polygamists, and then hear what
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: their judgment is, Like, why do we care? We've been
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: doing this year after year after year after year.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: And every single one says the same thing.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they're nice people, but I would never live.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: That polygamy is terrible.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of it. I stop doing this.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: It's so dumb.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: God.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: And then we have Mary going to her former employers
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: for some reason to tell them that she's a polygamist
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: because they've seen the show or something.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why, no, No, I don't think it's because
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: they've seen the show. It's like she's telling them for
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the first time. Is the way they're setting it up?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: That?
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, but you would imagine that they would have
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: heard that Mary Brown is on some television show that
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: they have learned by now that it's a polygamist. Again,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: it's just this creating contents, producing episodes not authentic, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: so in season.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Six, Yeah, even though.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: There are definitely undercurrents that are quite interesting even in
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: this episode, Like we're already losing the plot. Yep, we're
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: already way too manufacturing these Yeah, and I'm getting bored
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: by it.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I'm so bored. And then the final thing in the
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: preview is that unfortunately Cody's brother Curtis passes away in
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: a tragic motorcycle accident, and so his family is having
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: to deal with that, and I think they go up
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: to Wyoming and everything for it. So next episode is
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: going to be really sad.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're having a very eventful summer.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, big yikes.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lots going on with these Browns. You've been through
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: a lot. You gotta give it to them. They do
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: a lot, and they're still standing, at least for now.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah for now.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Well, is there anything else that we should say to
• 36:34
