- 0:10What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done.
- 0:13Goodbye. You.
- 0:16Shut it off. Do not twist my words.
- 0:19Do not make me a victim, sweetie.
- 0:21Just look at the mountain. That's what you.
- 0:23Saw. That day.
- 0:25Just the knife in the kidneys over all these years and the
- 0:29sacrifices that I made to love
- 0:48Celebrate good times. Come on, let's celebrate.
- 0:54Celebrate all. In this episode we will be
- 0:59celebrating and we will be cringing.
- 1:03There are highs and lows, mids, rights, lefts, Cheeto
- 1:08complexion, lots of things going
- 1:12Lots of facial expressions. A lot.
- 1:14Of facial expressions, absolutely.
- 1:17I was kind of going like, OK, episode 2 season 5, Kody begs
- 1:22for an answer. And I'm going, OK, we're just
- 1:26going to get more of the same,
- 1:29the same. But it surprised me how much was
- 1:33in this episode. There was a lot.
- 1:34So hopefully you all are buckled
- 1:38It was flying at us. And ready for this wild ride we
- 1:41called Sister Wives. Wild indeed.
- 1:46Wild, wild, crazy. The episode opens with the
- 1:50adults on the couch, of course, where we are used to seeing
- 1:53them sitting on a couch and they're talking about not
- 1:57being public before in their lives and how they were
- 2:01secretive and sharing examples about how fathers don't
- 2:04address their children in public and blah blah blah blah blah.
- 2:09Robyn and Christine's families had to hide and the dads were
- 2:13not able to address the children in public.
- 2:15Yes, of course he has to bring up Robyn and her weird family
- 2:21situation and Christians, which actually I would say was more of
- 2:30Yes. Well, polygamy royalty, yes.
- 2:32But yeah, we all know that Robyn just had a mom who was a whore,
- 2:36but that's another story. Yeah, the the moms were Polly
- 2:40under duress. They were not trying to be.
- 2:42I don't. Well, at least the first one
- 2:44probably wasn't. Right.
- 2:45Robyn's mom was, yeah, story for a different time, perhaps.
- 2:49Christine talks about how her grandfather was put in jail
- 2:53because of plural marriage, because he was, you know, the
- 2:56leader of these freaks and these polygamists.
- 2:59And I was wondering, I'm like, was he put in jail before or
- 3:03after he was murdered by another polygamist leader?
- 3:05And then I realized it had to be before because he probably
- 3:08couldn't go to jail after he was murdered.
- 3:11Look at me. Logical deduction.
- 3:13She cracked me up all the way. She said that that her
- 3:17grandfather was put in jail. Oh yeah, the way she said it
- 3:21was. Totally.
- 3:21Like, oh, wait, did he go to college at Yale?
- 3:24What do you mean no, no. No, no, no.
- 3:27He went to jail. Yes to jail.
- 3:29The way she said that was so funny.
- 3:32Yeah, I know. And it's like Jill, Jill.
- 3:34Jail. Jail.
- 3:36Yeah. Ridiculous.
- 3:36And Kody has this insane bowl cut thing that's flipped under.
- 3:42I don't know.
- 3:44He looks so handsome. It looks a little like Amish of
- 3:48yeah, something. He just has a face and a haircut
- 3:51that I want to sit on. It's very unfortunate in this
- 3:54episode and it's a little different than his use a.
- 3:58Little more tragic than the usual.
- 3:59Way more tragic than the usual.
- 4:02It's, yeah, something else. We also get flashbacks to when
- 4:13So they're kind of doing this narrative of like they weren't
- 4:19started into this episode because the adults are going to
- 4:23go to parent teacher conferences.
- 4:25So they're kind of teeing this up like, Oh yes, when the kids
- 4:30Our families weren't like other families.
- 4:33We were denied rights. We were hidden behind a curtain.
- 4:39seen. So the adults are gathering to
- 4:42get ready to go to parent teacher conferences and it's
- 4:46just so lovely to see them supporting their children
- 4:49showing up like parents should.
- 4:51They're at Meri's house and Kody says that he has to be better
- 4:56dressed than them, meaning the teachers, and he's wearing a
- 5:00full on suit. Yeah, like what?
- 5:03Dad wears a suit to parent teacher conferences.
- 5:08It looks like he's going on a mission.
- 5:10What are you doing with yourself here?
- 5:12It's like he was reliving his glory days as a young man when
- 5:23It's like, what are you? Are you implying something that
- 5:27you need to be more formal or elevated?
- 5:30Look better than them. Educators.
- 5:32I mean, it's not like we're talking about sewer rats.
- 5:35I mean, they're your teachers at the school.
- 5:37Or do you think that he thought they'd be wearing suits too?
- 5:41Oh yeah, I don't. Know and that he expected the
- 5:44teachers to be different maybe because they talk later on about
- 5:52they are kind of like little like, you know, hero
- 5:55conversations that the kids have about these teachers.
- 5:58And so maybe he feels like he needs to put on his monkey suit
- 6:02and impress them. And they're from this very weird
- 6:12I mean, the kids being in public school for the first time and
- 6:16you know, maybe not that weak but new to public school.
- 6:19So I don't know. Seems like Kody would have
- 6:23recognized when going to school before.
- 6:25Maybe he never did that. The other parents or adults
- 6:30aren't in suits. I don't.
- 6:33Know it's the self centeredness coming back up, you know, like
- 6:40Oh, of course. Kody Brown, The Kody Brown, the
- 6:44star of this show. Yeah, It's his show.
- 6:47That's what he has been known to say.
- 6:49It's his show. Isn't it though?
- 6:52It is. It's the Kody Brown show.
- 6:54We're all just watching. Meri talks about how nervous she
- 7:02like in hiding, right? It's probably very hard to get
- 7:10your other sister wives, which they've been doing and they've
- 7:21that are in an authority position over your children.
- 7:25So it could be nerve racking, right?
- 7:28Like you want to make a good impression on them too.
- 7:29You don't want them to treat your children differently
- 7:32because of your situation so. They talk about being the only
- 7:44families in the Las Vegas public school.
- 7:47Robyn. Oh, God, We get some precious
- 7:49pearls from Robyn in this episode.
- 7:52She really brings that Robyn Ness that we've all come to love
- 7:59they've probably never had five parents in a room with a
- 8:03student. And it's like, what?
- 8:06Like she's so dumb. And it's like, why are you even
- 8:09talking? I mean, maybe I hope that a
- 8:12producer or director was nudging her for a sound bite.
- 8:14Because if she's just talking to fill the space, it's like bitch
- 8:17you're so dumb. I think she is just talking to
- 8:22self-centered as Kody but not self aware of it like Kody is.
- 8:32silence. Yeah, with her brilliant
- 8:35thoughts and astute observations, what we're going
- 8:47different kids that currently have these teachers or have had
- 8:50them in the past to discuss their academic status, as one
- 8:54does at a parent teacher conference.
- 8:56And so we kind of get a little background and history
- 9:01storytelling of each child as they're going through.
- 9:06Now these are high schoolers, so it's just the older kids.
- 9:08And we start with Leon. Of course, we're going to start
- 9:11with Leon. We meet the wonderful and lovely
- 9:18currently has. One of Leon's talking head
- 9:21moments. They say they want to be a
- 9:23doctor and that they want to be a polygamist.
- 9:26They've wanted to be a doctor since they were seven years old.
- 9:31no. They can't wait until the day
- 9:33that they can have sister wives.
- 9:36Leon also talks about the closeness between them and their
- 9:44Not sure. Throwaway comment.
- 9:46Drawback that the producers made them say because they just took
- 9:51clips of the family videos and put them in.
- 9:55Perhaps. Yeah.
- 9:55Well, and also I think Leon references something like we
- 10:00didn't have a lot of friends because of their lifestyle, like
- 10:19There's one thing that they did say at the beginning of the
- 10:23episode that I would like to mention.
- 10:25It was a weird comment that Kody
- 10:26He said the kids grew up as siblings and family.
- 10:30We raised them as siblings. Like, are you fucking serious?
- 10:36They are siblings. Yeah.
- 10:38Why are you? The way he said it was just the
- 10:40dumbest thing ever. Like we all get that they are
- 10:44siblings. Like you could have a first wife
- 10:48that you divorce and don't see
- 10:54have kids with and still raise
- 10:58be in the same household and have the moms have any sort of
- 11:01interaction. Like, duh.
- 11:03Yeah. Yeah, they're raised as
- 11:05siblings. I don't know.
- 11:06He's just so fucking weird sometimes.
- 11:08He says these things that he tries to say like so wise, like,
- 11:12yes, we raised our children as
- 11:17Yeah, the brothers and sisters
- 11:19It's like this need to over clarify because of the polygamy
- 11:23background I'm assuming but. Yeah, like do you not understand
- 11:26how family systems work? Right.
- 11:28And we're in Season 5. Like, we got it, we got it.
- 11:31Yeah, Oh my God. Like we're not the idiots here
- 11:34that are trying to understand your family anymore.
- 11:37You're the idiot that doesn't understand.
- 11:39Just like normal Life. OK, quit over explaining to us.
- 11:45It's so true, we are not the idiots that don't understand.
- 11:49You. Are.
- 11:49Oh my God, it's so true. Now the Spanish teacher lets us
- 11:53know that Leon has chosen a Spanish name that means yellow.
- 11:59MMM, Amarillo. Amarillo.
- 12:01Amarillo and Madison chose for
- 12:07Fox, which I have to say my Spanish teacher who was from
- 12:14Spain, told us really funny terms that, you know, actually
- 12:20meant something in Spanish, like
- 12:24slights that you could say. And one of them was you could
- 12:27call a woman a Zora, which means
- 12:32lady, like a bad woman, like a
- 12:35So it's kind of funny that that was the name that Madison
- 12:38chose. And the slang of Zorro didn't
- 12:42translate like that in Spanish class in high school, I suppose.
- 12:49teacher in college who was from Spain was like, yeah, you don't
- 12:53want to call a woman that. It's an insult.
- 12:55He literally was like, it's an
- 12:58So it's kind of just a funny little side note.
- 13:01Oh, Maddie, the true definition of a well behaved woman never
- 13:05makes history because that bitch
- 13:10I'm just kidding. Love you, Maddie.
- 13:11So at one point it's funny when they're having this
- 13:14conversation with the Spanish teacher, she's speaking, I
- 13:16think she says something like, you know, we only speak
- 13:19Spanish in the classroom. And so then she's just rolling
- 13:22off some phrases to be like, look, here's an example of me as
- 13:25a Spanish teacher, and she calls
- 13:28Bonitas chicas. Yes, bonitas chicas and equal a
- 13:32cuatro. Bonitas chicas.
- 13:34Yes, and then no. No, no, muy Bonita.
- 13:37Muy Bonita. She she, you know, emphasizes
- 13:40that they're so beautiful. Now, what's funny is they all
- 13:43kind of laugh and in a way that makes me think they all get it.
- 13:49But then Meri, of course, acts
- 13:51means. She's like, I didn't know.
- 13:52And it's like, bitch, you couldn't decipher what this
- 13:54means just based on logical deduction.
- 13:56I mean, I'm not a fluent Spanish
- 13:59I am I but I. Could certainly figure out that
- 14:03she was talking about four beautiful women.
- 14:05I mean, you don't need to be a
- 14:07these dots. Meri struggled.
- 14:10She struggled. I feel like one of these women,
- 14:13and I won't even say one of these women, Meri or Robyn are
- 14:17always playing the pick me role.
- 14:20Like Christine and Janelle kind of like float in the background
- 14:25and say like Janelle says serious things sometimes.
- 14:30Christine says silly light hearted things a lot or quippy
- 14:39Meri the 1st and the last that are like pick me.
- 14:43No, pick me. I'll say the cute thing.
- 14:45I'll say the cute thing. It's like sit down and shut up
- 14:50it's like, yes, we know that you know the answer and you're
- 14:53trying to say it out loud so everyone knows how smart you
- 14:56are. Now shut the fuck up.
- 14:57Yeah, except for Meri comes across as an idiot in this
- 15:01situation, so good for her. Yeah, Now our next stop on the
- 15:12I thought the name was like Aaliyah.
- 15:14Like Aaliyah, like the singer from back in the day who
- 15:18tragically died, but unfortunately not unfortunately.
- 15:23Well, unfortunately for me, her name's actually just Miss Leah.
- 15:25And I'm like, OK, well, that's
- 15:27Unfortunate for her, too boring.
- 15:29Boring, Miss Leah. Just kidding.
- 15:31Change your name. So boring.
- 15:33Get a more interesting name, Miss Leah.
- 15:35Oh my God. Terrible.
- 15:37How bad is her last name that she goes by Miss Leah, right?
- 15:40That's what I want to know. Maybe it's Lee.
- 15:43Her name's like Leah Lee. Like.
- 15:44Or she's trying to be that cool teacher that's like, you can
- 15:47call me by my first name but put Miss in front of it.
- 15:50Oh. God, I demand respect.
- 15:52Kody walks in with his suit and she's like, Oh my God, she's
- 15:56like. I pray to Aaliyah.
- 15:57Aaliyah, this is Miss Leah. Aaliyah.
- 16:00Miss Leah, Mama, niece, please. Wow, I'm getting done real quick
- 16:14time. But of course, as a responsible
- 16:16young adult, she approached Miss Lee and said I have missed
- 16:20some class. I know this.
- 16:21I would love an opportunity to make up my grade.
- 16:24So whatever you do with a coach, I guess in gym class or
- 16:28something, they, I don't know that they said the class.
- 16:30I'm assuming it's gym. It looked like it was like a
- 16:33choir classroom or something that they were sitting in, but
- 16:37But they're not very clear about what she is a coach of.
- 16:42And I've never, even in gym class, called the gym teacher a
- 16:47coach when it came to parent teacher conferences.
- 16:49Like we might be like coach so and so because they were also a
- 16:54coach of a team, but it was not made clear to us all.
- 16:58Yes. I never called my teachers in
- 17:01gym class coach, even if they were coaches like that.
- 17:03I don't know what that's all about.
- 17:05But we all don't believe that Aspen's like the star of the
- 17:08tennis team or anything, so it's not like we're confused that
- 17:11way, right? I don't know, I assumed choir
- 17:16well there. Was one cutaway where Aspen had
- 17:19the darkest eyeliner on. Did you recall seeing this?
- 17:22It was like a flashback moment but not too far away.
- 17:25In the past. It was like her and Maddie
- 17:28sitting at a counter and Aspens eyes looked as black as my soul.
- 17:34up on the eyeliner, but you know.
- 17:36Well, Janelle does that too. It's like she has these little
- 17:39tiny eyes on her moon white face
- 17:48eyeliner. Yeah, yeah, intense.
- 17:51Very Britney Spears today. Yeah, very Britney Spears.
- 17:54Britney Spears is a little more lived in, I would say.
- 17:58That is true. This looked a little more fresh.
- 18:02Yeah. Fresh and impactful.
- 18:05Little like, OK, maybe I burned the tip of my eyeliner with a
- 18:09lighter and then rubbed that under my eye like and got that
- 18:15crisp like, you know, soft tip
- 18:20Of the what? Got right on into that water
- 18:24line. Did you just talk about Kody?
- 18:25Soft tip? We're talking about his
- 18:28children. This is disturbing, darling.
- 18:32Now, Aspen tells us that she may
- 18:35She thinks she might want to, but she doesn't want to wait for
- 18:38the perfect family. Of course, you know she's in a
- 18:40hurry to lock a man down and get
- 18:44life working in retail. I mean, I, I don't know.
- 18:47Whatever. Yeah, I don't want to wait
- 18:49around like my family did to find the perfect family.
- 18:53Yeah, it's like, let's see, Aspen's mom is Christine.
- 18:57No, Christine didn't was not a
- 18:59She was technically an adult. So she did wait around a long
- 19:02time in that cult. This is where we get a little
- 19:06couch moment from Christine talking about her disappointing
- 19:09child Aspen and how she missed
- 19:13than ever. It is a stoplight.
- 19:16It is a stop sign. It is Ronald McDonald on her
- 19:19nose, just pointing it out. We have Christine, who could use
- 19:23a little bit more makeup on her nose, and her daughter that's
- 19:25got a little too much of it under her eyes, but yeah.
- 19:32It's true. And then on the couch there, the
- 19:35parents are talking about this
- 19:40their children. And Meri says that Leon comes to
- 19:43her saying, Christine let's Aspen miss class when trying to
- 19:47get out of school themselves. And she says well and shares it
- 19:50as an example. And it's funny because of course
- 19:52they do a cutaway to Christine
- 19:55and all God, a gasp. She's shocked.
- 19:59Well, the way Meri says it, she's like, yeah, I'm not
- 20:02Christine. I don't care, I don't care.
- 20:05You need to go to school, Leon.
- 20:07Right. Totally makes Christine sound
- 20:09like a deadbeat parent. Yeah.
- 20:10Is deadbeat parent the right word?
- 20:12Deadbeat parent. Neglectful.
- 20:15Parent Parent. Laid back.
- 20:18Like too laid back. Right.
- 20:20A failure is what? A failure.
- 20:22OK, yeah, that's what she was. Trying to infer that Christine
- 20:30tell your child who is like in the same age group.
- 20:32No, you've got to go. But yet we're all your mommies.
- 20:36So you can listen to all of your
- 20:38mommies here and we all have a
- 20:43like, Nah, you need a mental health day, girl.
- 20:46You take it. And this is like the early
- 20:49twenty 10s where it's like mental health days were not a
- 20:52thing yet. So maybe she's not wrong.
- 20:55Maybe Aspen does need a day to
- 20:58And then you've got Meri that is
- 21:03Like, no way in hell, Leon, are you missing a day and you're
- 21:08going to be a doctor. That will not happen under this
- 21:12roof. Could you imagine seeing a
- 21:14Doctor Who skipped gym class in high school?
- 21:17You will die and go to hell if
- 21:20Day, Leon. Miss Leah is going to be so
- 21:24disappointed in you. Goodbye to your dreams of being
- 21:26a doctor. Oh God, so absurd.
- 21:30But now it is funny because how many days of gym class do you
- 21:34miss? I mean, this is just sometimes
- 21:35they bring these things up and
- 21:38with gym class. I was like, what was Aspen on
- 21:41her period for a month straight?
- 21:42I mean, it's just insane. It has to have been enough time
- 21:45for it to have been significant enough to affect her grade where
- 21:52Like I don't even know what that means.
- 21:54Be like Meri's child. Never miss a day.
- 21:58Also, I'm noticing they're they're showing the parents
- 22:01walking down the hallway, going on to their next conference
- 22:05moment and they are strutting the halls and there's no one
- 22:10else around, not a single soul in that hallway.
- 22:13OK, They're filming a show, you know, they're not going to get
- 22:17But it just comes across as this like eerie, odd thing, like when
- 22:25you go to parent teacher conferences.
- 22:27There are other parents going places and doing things.
- 22:30It's not like they shut the school down for you and your
- 22:34special conferences, but they tell you that you're truant.
- 22:36They also show them outside of the school, like before and
- 22:40after talking, and it's clear that they're still at the school
- 22:45It's like they asked these teachers, would you please come
- 22:48in on a Saturday just so that we could film our parent teacher
- 22:56I hope Miss Leah made Aspen do
- 23:01Unbelievable. Oh, we meet the favorite teacher
- 23:04of all the teachers. Doctor Guido.
- 23:07Doctor Guido. Guido.
- 23:10What a great last name, Guido Guido.
- 23:13Doctor, I want to meet Doctor.
- 23:17I want to meet his life. What's she like?
- 23:19Does she look like Fran Drescher?
- 23:21That's what I want. To know Mr. Sheffield Guido, I
- 23:29love. My Guido husband, well, Doctor
- 23:34Guido, is currently Hunter's teacher.
- 23:37Hunter has him for some class.
- 23:40I don't know that we caught the class.
- 23:42But whatever this is, once again, we're going to get a
- 23:44little back story on Hunter, just like we do with all of
- 23:47these older children. And Janelle says it took Hunter
- 23:50a year to acclimate to Vegas. And they gave us some, you know,
- 23:53flashbacks to times and things
- 23:56No one cares. Struggles they flash through.
- 24:00Him eating yogurt and being all like, I want to be in football.
- 24:04I'm an angsty teen. It's like Amen.
- 24:08Hunter says he wants to be an athlete or a trainer when he
- 24:11grows up. Perhaps a pro athlete.
- 24:13I think he says, like, pro athlete or an athlete or a
- 24:16trainer. And it's like, oh, a pro
- 24:18athlete, yes. And so many of those dreams come
- 24:21true. Yeah, I think that.
- 24:25This. Poor kid, like every time that I
- 24:28see him I have to laugh because he looks like the
- 24:31quintessential meathead too. Yeah, he does.
- 24:34Like the square like had the hair like of that time, this
- 24:39very thick neck and like stocky.
- 24:41Like if he came across as more of an asshole he would totally
- 24:52You can tell that he's a kind person.
- 24:54Yeah, you know. And he's got that in some of
- 24:57these cutaways. He's got that pimple red on the
- 25:00face that's like, pop me, pop me.
- 25:02I'm on a teenager. And I'm like, oh God.
- 25:05Huge, yeah. Like if someone was filming me
- 25:10that pimple. I would have been, yeah, pretty
- 25:14embarrassed. I was like looking back
- 25:17actually, I will say in high school I had amazing skin.
- 25:20I didn't get pimples like at all in high school and it was wasted
- 25:29is worse. I would rather have had it as a
- 25:31teen and gotten it out of the way than had it as an adult.
- 25:34So I'm. So glad that when I had it it
- 25:36was literally like life was terrible, everything sucked,
- 25:39hormones are everywhere so just add some acne on it.
- 25:42Yeah, yeah, get it out of the way.
- 25:45The parents talked to the teacher about the boys swearing.
- 25:52words at home and I believe Christine gave us a lovely quote
- 25:56here. Darling, did you catch her
- 25:58specific quote? Christine says that they've
- 26:01found out that Logan has F bomb dropping skills from the
- 26:05younger kids. He's.
- 26:07Found out bomb dropping skills.
- 26:09Yeah, they found out from the younger kids about these F bomb
- 26:12dropping skills. But then Dr. Guido does say that
- 26:19be proud of that. Yeah, I mean, I think that
- 26:22vibes. I mean, I mean, I think that
- 26:24tracks. They probably are really well
- 26:26behaved in class for the most part, right?
- 26:29I mean, they're teenagers, but I highly doubt that Logan's in
- 26:32school being like, fuck this. Like, no, he's not.
- 26:35And it's also a tie in from the footage that we had with them
- 26:39going up to Lehi when, you know, Leon was wagging the finger at
- 26:47When he says what, what did he say?
- 26:49Man the fuck up, yeah. To Hunter, yeah.
- 26:52Stop being a little bitch, hunter.
- 26:56Doctor Guido, he says that Logan has barely said 2 words his
- 27:03entire time there at the. School.
- 27:05Yeah, very quiet. Very quiet.
- 27:06I find that to be a little surprising.
- 27:08Logan seems like just, I would say at the least run-of-the-mill
- 27:16quiet, I think. He probably is very shy.
- 27:20OK. I think he's probably shy, like
- 27:23he probably shines in the family because he's the oldest
- 27:26child. But it's one of those things
- 27:28where you put that person out into public and they might shine
- 27:33like in their family, but they
- 27:36Are you calling Logan dull? I mean, not necessarily.
- 27:42Like, well, I didn't say that,
- 27:45It's like when you think of like
- 27:49school who's like, amazing when they're in their own high
- 27:52school. And then they go off to the big,
- 27:58Yeah. And I think that's kind of the.
- 28:01How did it feel when that happened to you?
- 28:02Right. Well, really, really wonderful.
- 28:09I don't know, that's the vibe that I get.
- 28:11I feel like he's probably actually really shy and passive
- 28:14in school and like doesn't get
- 28:18have many friends other than his
- 28:21forever. Sure.
- 28:22But. Who knows?
- 28:25Now we get to talk about Maddie,
- 28:29Is that her full name? Madison.
- 28:32Madison. Madeline.
- 28:35Well, you know, whatever, I forget about her.
- 28:38She wants to be an entrepreneur or maybe do hair and then she
- 28:44can do her own hair for free. She wants to be an entrepreneur,
- 28:48go to hair school, pay her way
- 28:52can do her own hair for free too.
- 28:56So she thinks that she is just
- 29:00hair school quick, get her license so that she can work and
- 29:03do hair and pay her way through college and then just be able
- 29:06to do her own hair for free. Because you know what?
- 29:09Being a hairdresser isn't a career at all.
- 29:11And I just would get my license so I could do my hair for free.
- 29:14Like let's put 10 grand down the
- 29:17for free. Very reasonable, very normal.
- 29:19I looked at Chris and I said she
- 29:23She did kind of have a. She kept doing these like weird
- 29:26eye roll things and like was talking out of the side of her
- 29:29mouth kind of and had her head
- 29:32So I could do my hair for free, yeah.
- 29:35Free. Yeah, man.
- 29:36And I was just having flashbacks
- 29:42literally did that plan but not on purpose.
- 29:46And I'm like girl you have no fucking idea.
- 29:49I spent like almost 20 grand to go to beauty school and then my
- 29:52body and my knees started getting old.
- 29:55Told me I couldn't do it anymore.
- 29:56Well, let's make sure that we remind our studio audience.
- 30:01Hi everyone. Hi.
- 30:04So great to see you all. My knees started falling apart.
- 30:06Well, Kimber's knees are crap.
- 30:12schoolers, so we're going to only judge in the way that we're
- 30:17already judging, but just putting an asterisk that we
- 30:20should be more gentle. I cannot be gentle about this
- 30:24because this she has no idea what she wants to do and she's
- 30:29just thinking hair is going to
- 30:31She has that entrepreneurial spirit, darling.
- 30:34Also, her hair is generally terrible.
- 30:37So I'm like, oh great, you're going to do hair like, Oh my
- 30:41God. Yeah, you can't really sell
- 30:43beauty when you look like the beast, but that's what they used
- 30:46to say all the time. Just at school.
- 30:48Well, it's a little bit like what?
- 30:49The Keeblers don't have shoes or
- 30:51know, like. Cobblers.
- 30:54The thank you, the Cobblers, well, the.
- 30:56Keebler Owl the cookies. You can't make cookies if you
- 30:59don't have a hat. Or shoes.
- 31:01And you know, Maddie can't do hair because her hair's
- 31:03terrible. Like Oh my God, her hair's.
- 31:05Awful. But actually that hair is very
- 31:09what people had at that time. I had like had hair like that
- 31:11too at that time. Sometimes the curly, crunchy
- 31:15curly ramen hair. I know, but the like tones are
- 31:18just awful. And she's always like, I want to
- 31:20have black hair with my crazy skin and then I want to have
- 31:24copper red hair. And I'm like, Oh my God, did you
- 31:26just pick a normal color? And I used to have crazy colored
- 31:30hair. I'm just, I was never deluding
- 31:33myself into thinking I was going
- 31:36pay myself to college or something.
- 31:37I don't even know. I don't.
- 31:39That's why this, this whole thing was just actually really
- 31:45because I was definitely not like that when I was in high
- 31:49school. But I just saw some of my
- 31:52younger years flash before my eyes with the exact thing that
- 31:59Don't do it. I'm going to have to Photoshop a
- 32:05Like superimposed though, like those 90s.
- 32:08Or. Trips.
- 32:10Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 32:11Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we'll just combine you
- 32:16They do show her and her friends sitting around a pool with their
- 32:23water. And she's wearing like a just a
- 32:26normal like V cut top that like looks normal on everybody.
- 32:30But there's a boy sitting across from her, like staring at her
- 32:35nunga nungas in her shirt. Odd.
- 32:37Kody had an aneurysm when he saw that.
- 32:39I bet he was like my whore of a daughter with her tits out.
- 32:42And it's like, hey, Kody, calm down.
- 32:44She's talking about how she wants privacy and she doesn't
- 32:48get privacy in her home because, you know, she's one of the older
- 32:55privacy. She just has this like shitty
- 32:58attitude. She doesn't have one mom, she
- 32:59has four and they're always asking to look her phone and she
- 33:05many people in each others business and she doesn't want
- 33:08people in her business. I mean, I get it.
- 33:10I don't know, she just has this attitude and I can't even say
- 33:13it's a shitty attitude because it's a teenage girl attitude.
- 33:15I'm sure I had the exact same attitude, but the way that she
- 33:23just like talking. I don't know, like maybe I want
- 33:26to do this, Like I'm not really sure and she just looks high and
- 33:34Probably painfully sober. Do you really think so?
- 33:37Like do you think that she did not drink with those friends?
- 33:40Think she got stoned or anything.
- 33:42I think she was pretty straight laced, but she did, you know?
- 33:47This episode made me question. I'm not going to say that she's
- 33:51doing drugs. She's abusing drugs.
- 33:55OK, so. I'm just curious after that
- 33:57couch interview with her. I'm very curious actually.
- 34:00After Doctor Guido wraps up his conversation with these parents,
- 34:12was getting a little, oh, I had a little God.
- 34:14What did she say? That she was, like, nervous?
- 34:17Oh, yeah. Janelle says that she was
- 34:19nervous about meeting the teachers because the kids talk
- 34:26the desk. She's like squeaking her ass out
- 34:44As a man of a certain age, I don't think I'd be sliding out
- 34:51OK, Like, hit me, baby one more time.
- 34:53Maybe the oh, Janelle, Can you imagine?
- 34:55Janelle, don't hit me baby one more time.
- 34:57But yeah, she did get out of a chair or a desk and it was
- 35:02filmed and we watched. It.
- 35:04Why did they do that to her? I know the editors on the show
- 35:09Would you stop to her over and over again?
- 35:11And it's painful to watch and I'm sure that it's uncomfortable
- 35:20teacher conferences too? Like sit them in the desks like
- 35:22they're about to get their knuckles rapped by the teacher.
- 35:25Like, you don't need to be
- 35:28having adults sit in these desks, you're setting them up
- 35:31for failure. At least it wasn't an elementary
- 35:34school desk like it was for high
- 35:37But Janelle is not a tiny person
- 35:45and I don't want to shame her about it.
- 35:47I do just feel bad for her that it was left in the fucking clip
- 35:51like they didn't. Need to do that to.
- 35:52Her unbelievable. Even in high school, I didn't
- 35:54know where to put my elbows in
- 35:57then you get these adults and somebody like that's larger
- 36:01sitting there and it's like they
- 36:06before that happened. Yeah, it was unnecessary.
- 36:09It was odd. They do that so often, though,
- 36:13and I feel like specifically to her, and it's like, what are
- 36:15you trying to do? Like, they've made it seem like
- 36:17they were friends with the producer and like all of the
- 36:20camera people over the show over
- 36:25But, you know, some of this stuff has to be intentional.
- 36:28And we joke a lot about the producers not being intentional
- 36:31and kind of just like being shitty at stuff.
- 36:34And they're getting lucky about things falling together
- 36:36sometimes. But there's things like this
- 36:39that they chose to leave in and there was probably better
- 36:42footage that could have taken up
- 36:46they didn't do that. And why?
- 36:49I don't know, I just feel bad for her because nobody wants to
- 36:53see themselves trying to get out
- 36:55School desk. God.
- 36:58Now unfortunately we go from that to something even worse,
- 37:01which is Mckelty. I just have like so many ughs
- 37:06about Mckelty. I was just going to say but we
- 37:08get to go to Miss Rules class and Miss Rule is a big fan of
- 37:11Mckelty. 'S oh sorry I I blocked, I
- 37:14trauma blocked Mckelty's teacher
- 37:19talking about Mckelty. Oh God.
- 37:21Yeah, record scratch Mckelty's
- 37:24Mckelty's in the room and she's like, I want to be a world
- 37:28famous fashion designer when I
- 37:32This really? Dramatic shift and the way that
- 37:35she talks about like string coming together to make a shirt.
- 37:39Now, did you write these quotes down?
- 37:40Because the one that I know is
- 37:43make a glorious dress. And I vomited in my mouth.
- 37:48She's like, you can have these
- 37:51these strings come together and just make like a fabulous
- 37:56shirt. I'm pretty sure that's what she
- 37:58said. And she was just speaking very
- 38:04than they were because they're part of the fashion world.
- 38:08World. Whenever I see her I just hear
- 38:14And then she talks. She's like, I want to be like
- 38:16Versace when I grow up. Versace.
- 38:18And she says all of this in her oddly dramatic tone, which she
- 38:26maybe it would have like, knocked it into like a normal
- 38:29place. Oh, Mckelty.
- 38:31Love you Mckelty. Well, Miss Rule does love her.
- 38:36You can put her in a group with anyone and she can talk to
- 38:39anyone. I don't doubt that.
- 38:43What a nightmare. I'm just like imagining Mckelty
- 38:46talking all day every day to everyone.
- 38:48Oh God. Yep, more tragic speaking.
- 38:52I agree. Yeah, she's a mess.
- 38:54She's terrible. Yeah.
- 38:56And she's one person I don't mind talking shit about when
- 38:59they're a minor. She's like in high school.
- 39:02And I'm like you should just give up on all your dreams
- 39:04because none of them are coming true.
- 39:05But I'm glad you are delusional enough to think that you could
- 39:19like. When you did that, I just had a
- 39:23visual of a school bus, like driving into a tree and like
- 39:26Mckelty's in it, and I'm like, yay.
- 39:28Oh no. Yeah, well, she didn't die.
- 39:31She. Was.
- 39:31Horribly deformed from the accident.
- 39:33Like Regina George. I'm going to be a world.
- 39:39Famous designer neck brace. Oh, I'm a Kelty.
- 39:42She gets the bedazzler out, comes back to.
- 39:45School and her neck brace is literally just bedazzled.
- 39:47Did you see my neck brace? Did you see my neck brace?
- 39:50And the teacher's like, she can talk to anyone and everyone's
- 39:52like. Stop talking to selling these
- 39:54online. If it was today, I've got my
- 40:00neck prices on Etsy. Oh my God.
- 40:02Okay, now this was when Janelle actually talked about being
- 40:07nervous about meeting the teacher.
- 40:08Sorry I blew my load early. You know what's to be expected.
- 40:13Now Robyn has another moving
- 40:16moment. I was almost brought to tears
- 40:19for the first time in this episode because she really
- 40:21touched me in places that I don't want Robyn to touch me.
- 40:26And she's talking about the teachers going home after the
- 40:30parent teacher conferences and
- 40:32polygamist family. And I don't know that I got it
- 40:36word for word. Do you know if you did?
- 40:38Robyn would like to be a family on the wall when they go home
- 40:41and talk to their spouses at the
- 40:45Is that what you're talking about?
- 40:46Yes, but. Oh God.
- 40:48You do a better Robyn voice than
- 40:50This is the problem. I'd like to be a fly on the wall
- 40:54when the teachers go home to hear what they have to say to
- 40:58their wives and husbands about
- 41:02And I was like, loser. She specifically said wives and
- 41:07husbands. There's no way.
- 41:08She said yeah, she couldn't. She doesn't know the word spouse
- 41:11like. In my mind, making her smarter.
- 41:13I know it's just the other, just
- 41:16It was the other way where I said it smarter and you were
- 41:18like no, no, no. But then she does her her shrug
- 41:22with her two hands up in the air.
- 41:24The did I do that shrug? And then she goes.
- 41:27What an idiot. I'm just saying, yeah.
- 41:30I'm just. Saying.
- 41:31I'm just saying. Oh God.
- 41:34There's something that needs to be pushed down a flight of
- 41:36stairs immediately. She thinks so highly of herself.
- 41:41Oh yeah, and the fame of this family and the fact that they're
- 41:47polygamous and they're weird that everyone just must go home
- 41:51and talk about them. Of course you are not the center
- 41:56of the God damn universe. Robyn.
- 42:00She literally acts like that and
- 42:04shrugging and the fake dramatic motion that she made when she
- 42:09said it. This right now, yes.
- 42:10And the way she puts her chin up and out.
- 42:13Yep. It's like a cartoon character.
- 42:26Everybody wants to talk about me
- 42:30God, Robyn. It's like you're the star of
- 42:33your own story. Like yes, you got ATV show and
- 42:36yes, you're part of a weird family dynamic, but you're not
- 42:42the center of the I don't. Think it's quite hit Robyn in
- 42:45the jugular yet? How many Americans will hate
- 42:49her? How many people around the world
- 42:51will hate her? Is Robyn perhaps the most hated
- 42:54person in the world? Yeah.
- 42:57Well, we've got a president who might be hated a little more
- 43:00these days, but Robyn, it's Robyn.
- 43:03But what about of all of the, like, multitudes and majority of
- 43:08the people that just don't give a fuck, right?
- 43:11Or know who you are, right? And she just seems to think that
- 43:17it's like she's going to sneeze in a Kleenex and someone's
- 43:20going to want to buy it from her all of a sudden, like.
- 43:23Doodle it on her graph paper and
- 43:28inspired necklace. For.
- 43:30Fans. Maybe I could get the house
- 43:33instead of selling my body on the street.
- 43:35I could sell my dirty underwear online on eBay.
- 43:39Robyn's eBay account is Miss Penny Huffer.
- 43:44That's giving her too much credit.
- 43:45She wouldn't have even thought
- 43:48like that. No, you're right.
- 43:49It would have been called like
- 43:53It's like use panties. Oh my gosh.
- 43:55Oh, I was going to go somewhere real bad with that.
- 43:58I won't go there. It's.
- 43:59OK, this is an NC 17 podcast. Put your children to bed,
- 44:03listeners. I was going to say she she only
- 44:06sells the ones online that the
- 44:11Well, Robyn has earned enough shit stains from us.
- 44:14This shit stains in her underwear that look like Jesus.
- 44:16She sells them on eBay. Squint this shit stain looks.
- 44:20Like Jesus? Whoa, we are off the rails.
- 44:26See this, This episode has literally caused me to have a
- 44:29TBI like I, I barely survived it
- 44:33We're going to have a little break here and we're going to
- 44:35come back with Mona, Ricky, Mona.
- 44:39Well, she's not in the first moments of this, but Mona makes
- 44:43her return, which I'm very excited about.
- 44:46Meri is telling us that Mona Ricky called her to tell her.
- 44:51Oh God, you guys, this is I need
- 44:55We are reliving history right now.
- 44:58A monumental moment in sister wife's history on this podcast.
- 45:03This episode will go down in infamy because we finally get
- 45:09our first reference to Meri's wet bar.
- 45:13This is a big dull the wet bar
- 45:19we're finally being introduced
- 45:21It's so exciting. Oh, it's come up before, but not
- 45:24like this, darlin. Oh, did it already come up?
- 45:27It did. Oh, damn it.
- 45:28Sorry everybody. To break it to you.
- 45:32This podcast. No, this is the first time where
- 45:37it becomes like a huge. Thing Oh, that's right, she's
- 45:41referenced it, but now it's going to be a big dough.
- 45:46Now Mona calls Meri to tell her she can't have the hobby room
- 45:50and the pantry off of the kitchen without having the fifth
- 45:54bedroom in her house. Now we have discussed this
- 45:58before because remember we were talking about how Janelle's
- 46:00like, how can I cut every room
- 46:03How can I trim it down to the bare bones?
- 46:05How can I have one bedroom and 1
- 46:07It's like, girl, there's a floor
- 46:10You pick the four or five bedroom option.
- 46:12Like that's pretty much probably
- 46:15out she can't have her hobby room and pantry off the kitchen
- 46:22without doing the five bedroom
- 46:25Now I'm wondering if in the four
- 46:28a hobby room and some storage for some food.
- 46:31Probably not probably not. That's probably not a
- 46:34possibility. But really, it's about the web
- 46:38bar. She is just like, I need this
- 46:41wet bar to be able to entertain and I love to have people in my
- 46:45home and I need to have this to entertain.
- 46:47And now I'm questioning the money thing in the kids versus
- 46:51rooms and it's like, girl. I need a wet bar.
- 46:58Or you could just save the money
- 47:04after. Well, yeah, yeah, that could be
- 47:08an option. Or she could just walk her dumb
- 47:10ass the six feet to the kitchen sink because what we find out is
- 47:16it's like. It's like in the kitchen.
- 47:18Yeah, like. It's insane.
- 47:21It's the dumbest thing ever. And OK, if you have the four
- 47:27bedroom option, one of those 4 rooms can be your fucking hobby
- 47:33room. Yeah, that's what I'm saying
- 47:35like. Why does the hobby room have to
- 47:38be like off of the back of your kitchen and pantry, right?
- 47:42I don't understand it. What are you going to be doing?
- 47:46Are you going to be deciding
- 47:48that each of those rooms, you're
- 47:52exchange student all of a sudden
- 47:56this and we don't know about it, but you're going to be housing
- 47:59people in those other rooms like.
- 48:02She's like, we don't have enough
- 48:03We need to house strangers. Like what is happening here?
- 48:07Any sane person would be like,
- 48:13I can change things afterwards.
- 48:16Well, true. You know, plumbing, it's not
- 48:19easy to just actually put in a wet bar, to be fair.
- 48:22Like, you don't just Plumb in a wet bar.
- 48:24They don't have basements. It's the desert.
- 48:26It's slab. But I want to remind us of a
- 48:31comment we got on an episode where someone was pointing out
- 48:40the magical water that's going to turn you into a beer person
- 48:47heard somewhere that she really wanted this.
- 48:49For entertaining, yes, but for entertaining so that they could
- 48:52literally hawk product? Oh my God.
- 48:54Which I'm also going like what you can have people in your
- 48:57house and hawk product from the kitchen because the kitchen
- 48:59itself is big. It has an island or a bar.
- 49:02It's got all this stuff. Why does she need another bar?
- 49:09She's glommed onto this idea and now she can't get it out of her
- 49:12head and she thinks she needs it.
- 49:14You don't need it even to like hockey or dumb a weird drink mix
- 49:22My God, she can't. Get it out of her head because
- 49:27turning it into a plot line, and the viewer literally has no
- 49:33idea. Yeah, it's just very bizarre.
- 49:36And they're giving the viewer more reasons to hate her and
- 49:39like not giving the full story and that.
- 49:42It's just very weird. Well, I suspect it's really
- 49:45about how if you start doing business on a show, I mean,
- 49:49there's like the Bethany Frankel Claus, which is like if you're
- 49:59And that's why I also think that my sister wife's closet is not
- 50:06because I think they were worried about naming rights and
- 50:10things like that. But you are right that do not
- 50:14actually talk about the real reason she wants a whip or let's
- 50:21can sell shitty goods. It just makes her look even
- 50:25crazier. Yeah, insane.
- 50:25And like, she could just say I sell products as later on in the
- 50:33I sell clothing on an online boutique or something.
- 50:36Like you could just say we sell products from home.
- 50:39I mean, yeah, it's not the end of the world.
- 50:41They could easily have added it in and said something, some sort
- 50:47show that we don't know this because it makes her.
- 50:49Look selfish as fuck just. We're gonna get some really,
- 50:53really good material out of this, including where we get
- 50:56these flashbacks to Janelle gilting Meri for the big home
- 51:00and her reckless spending, which I love.
- 51:04Janelle gives so many looks right now.
- 51:07And it's it happened more I feel like with Robyn at the beginning
- 51:19staring. She's picked something in the
- 51:21room and she's looking at it and it starts with Blase and it ends
- 51:29And it's fun to watch that transition happen.
- 51:31This is when we find out that they get an equal budget.
- 51:36Yeah, Kody shows up at Meri's house after Sigmona told me that
- 51:40I can only have that. I need 5 bedrooms to have a web
- 51:44bar and Kody's like, so in other
- 51:49need the fifth bedroom. And I'm like, in other words,
- 51:52these people. So yeah, Kody says that they're
- 51:55going to distribute the money equally for each wife with their
- 52:00home. You know, rocket science, I
- 52:02guess. And this is where I looked at
- 52:04you and I said my opinion. I feel like it is beginning to
- 52:08change because Janelle talks about how she began to worry
- 52:14that she would be put out and not have the budget for a room
- 52:18or other things that she really needed because of what someone
- 52:22else wants in the family. Due to the equality of budget.
- 52:26Like she has a whole brood of children to take care of and
- 52:29Meri has one kid. And then right after Janelle
- 52:33makes this comment about, OK, like the seriousness of like,
- 52:37needing to budget for having enough bedrooms, of course, Meri
- 52:42just makes a comment again right
- 52:47Just completely ignores what Janelle says about being worried
- 52:51about having to, you know, go without a room.
- 52:55My wet bar and below. It's like you fucking tone deaf
- 52:58bitch. Shut up.
- 53:00My wet bar. Literally in like the same clip
- 53:05right after and I was like, there was no editing that in.
- 53:08They didn't do that. That wasn't editing gold.
- 53:12She's just that fucking clueless
- 53:15mind about her wet bar right now.
- 53:18And this is where my tone started shifting.
- 53:21I know I've said it that I feel like Meri deserves an equal
- 53:24budget and it's not fair to give her less because she has less
- 53:27kids. But I think I'm going to change
- 53:30my stance because I think as a mom, like with children, if I
- 53:35was in a situation like this I'd be like so you think my fucking
- 53:40kids should go without because you want a wet bar in a craft
- 53:43room right? Like shove it where the sun
- 53:48don't shine. Right, like the four bedroom MC
- 53:50mansion isn't enough for you when you're 1, kid.
- 53:52It's just as weird. And it's like they've teed it up
- 54:01actually just kind of being a tone deaf bitch.
- 54:04Like it's ridiculous. You guys are supposed to work
- 54:06together. You're supposed to be a family
- 54:10being selfish, so selfish. I'm like one of those rooms can
- 54:13easily be your craft room or your hobby room, as she's
- 54:16calling it. Yeah, Hobby.
- 54:18And as far as the wet bar, when they actually get into like one
- 54:22of the houses and show us where it's at, it is a literally a 12
- 54:27step from the kitchen sink. Yeah, totally.
- 54:31It is literally. Around the corner.
- 54:33From the kitchen Peninsula or whatever.
- 54:35Like it's insane. It's insane.
- 54:38And it's also like. A four foot wide bar with a sink
- 54:43now this is the model home. Maybe Meri will end up with a
- 54:46different wet bar. We can't predict the future.
- 54:48This is true. It could be she's like I don't
- 54:52I need the mega wet. Bar I need the one that I have
- 54:57Next to the kitchen. Like insane.
- 55:00Insane. So at this point, the adults
- 55:03meet. They venture over to meet the
- 55:06builders at a model home to discuss these ticky techy homes
- 55:10they pulled out of a catalog and they're going to discuss
- 55:15what their options are. I noted that the one of the
- 55:19builders or one of the presidents, the president, the
- 55:25So Pinnacle Homes, I'm only saying the name because I
- 55:28noticed it. Pinnacle Homes.
- 55:31Kody summarizes the whole fifth bedroom wet bar debacle about
- 55:37how it's so funny. Because it's I don't know if it
- 55:40is. Editing but it's like they're
- 55:41all standing around in this house, like all of the adults,
- 55:50Meri just brought it. She just dropped her load on me
- 55:52today. She just shit in my pants and it
- 55:56We got to talk about it, sell it, to pray for these holes,
- 55:59Meri. Needs a wet bars.
- 56:01Robyn, where's your? Shit steamed anywhere, Oh my.
- 56:06God, He. Literally says too.
- 56:09He's like this. Is just the thing that I got to
- 56:11get out of the way because it came up today and we got to get
- 56:14this out of the way. We got to handle this first.
- 56:16So why can't we have the wet bar?
- 56:19Without the fifth bedroom, but. Of course.
- 56:21Oh no, I Janelle. If looks could kill.
- 56:25Yeah, Oh. Man, poor Janelle.
- 56:27She's. Literally staring off and just
- 56:31you're going to ask these builders.
- 56:33About right is her wet bar. There's four wives. 1.
- 56:37Husband, they're building 4. Homes.
- 56:38And the first question is about Meri's fucking wet BA.
- 56:42How wet? And everyone's wondering why.
- 56:46She's getting pissed. I feel like she's wondering why
- 56:50everyone isn't. Sensitive to her things.
- 56:52And it's like, bitch, come on, there are 723 children in this
- 56:59And you're talking about your goddamn wet bar.
- 57:01Yeah, no, I mean, everyone's wondering why Janelle's getting.
- 57:04And they're like looking at her like she's the fucking crazy
- 57:07one. And it's like, I see what you
- 57:09mean. Yeah, no.
- 57:11The builders do let them. Know that they would need to.
- 57:14Draft an entire other floor plan
- 57:18the fifth bedroom, which once again, I'm going to say ticky
- 57:21tacky. Ticky tacky.
- 57:22I get it, people live in tract
- 57:25called. I don't know.
- 57:26But there's something about not picking a house out of a like
- 57:32catalog that allows you to build
- 57:34But whatever, I don't know what to say.
- 57:38I've never built a home. If I did, I would not like for
- 57:40someone to tell me that I could only have my wet bar with my
- 57:43fifth bedroom. I would want my wet bar with a
- 57:45three bedroom home. That's why I'm saying like save
- 57:48the. Money and I know plumbing isn't
- 57:52easy to add in later, but like
- 57:58something else with that portion
- 58:03a better kitchen or a. Better entertaining.
- 58:06Kitchen with a bigger island. Or there's just different ways
- 58:10that she could have swung this
- 58:15it's just a dumb decision to get
- 58:18She's so hung up on it I could
- 58:21about wanting to have 5. Bedrooms for like resale.
- 58:24Like if all of the other homes
- 58:265 bedrooms and it's like, well, we're really going to have one
- 58:29that's four, I could see that,
- 58:33Just marrying her fucking wet Bah.
- 58:35She's at wet Bah somebody. Says.
- 58:39The builders. Didn't bat an eye about us being
- 58:42a plural family. Who's somebody?
- 58:47I don't. Know is it Robyn?
- 58:50And I just thought. They've been hearing.
- 58:53About your dumb asses needing these houses for two fucking
- 58:57years, trust me, they know you're a plural family.
- 59:00That's why they're not. Batting an eye, the first clue
- 59:03was when the camera crew. Showed up and said we're filming
- 59:06A polygamist family that you already know because you've had
- 59:09to accept their offers and you've had to deal with their
- 59:11craziness already. Robyn, we need this many lots
- 59:15next to each other. Please don't sell any of these
- 59:18lots. We've got this crazy polygamist
- 59:20family and we need 4 lots. Like they didn't even bat an
- 59:24eye. They didn't.
- 59:24Even bat an eye. Like Oh my God, again with the
- 59:29center of the God damn universe,
- 59:31her eye. Someone should take a.
- 59:33Bat to her eye. Now with this, Meri couldn't.
- 59:39Meri does not miss an. Opportunity to get emotional
- 59:41when? Talking about the struggle of
- 59:43having one child, about the budget, about her wet ma.
- 59:48And Janelle looks pissed. She just looks so pissed and I
- 59:52don't. Blame her.
- 59:53And Meri says when it came back that I would need to have so
- 59:57many bedrooms. You have no idea how many times
- 1:00:01I cried. It was so stressful to me.
- 1:00:04It's like you cried so many times over the fact that you
- 1:00:08would need to have 5 bedrooms.
- 1:00:11problem. We're supposed to feel bad about
- 1:00:13her fertility issues and being
- 1:00:16My sympathy about all that has
- 1:00:20bitch, you are insufferable. Like this is terrible.
- 1:00:22Yeah, she's crying on the couch and.
- 1:00:25Of course, they're in an interview again.
- 1:00:27She's crying and she's like, if I can't have more kids and then
- 1:00:31these are the kids that I have, I want space for them to feel
- 1:00:35welcome and come over because the kids are going to care about
- 1:00:39your. Wet bar?
- 1:00:40Yep. Yep, Yep.
- 1:00:41And they're going to care about the bedrooms that they're not
- 1:00:43going to sleep. In I mean like, oh, Meri, she's
- 1:00:47such a mad. It's an excuse.
- 1:00:49It's all an excuse. And I'm like.
- 1:00:50Finally kind of realizing now.
- 1:00:55Coming from I think it, it took me a while and I was like,
- 1:00:58yeah, I know everyone should get an equal budget.
- 1:00:59But the further and further this
- 1:01:02and more desperate and frantic
- 1:01:07like, she does not give a shit
- 1:01:11Because if so, she would be like, no, these are my kids too,
- 1:01:15and I don't want them to go without.
- 1:01:16Yeah, you guys take 10K of my budget even and put it towards
- 1:01:20whatever. I don't need that wet bar.
- 1:01:23And before Savannah could have
- 1:01:25have to sleep. In the dining room, Yeah, if
- 1:01:27Meri just would give up her wet bar.
- 1:01:29Yep. Now, when you talk about how.
- 1:01:31Crazy she looked this. Is where I noted how her
- 1:01:34eyebrows and her makeup and her hair make her look like a bad
- 1:01:39drag queen or perhaps a melting mannequin.
- 1:01:43Like it's insane. It's a real awful her appearance
- 1:01:47is. Noteworthy.
- 1:01:50I wrote down here her. Hair.
- 1:01:53Her hair and her hair's own budget.
- 1:01:55Yes, she her hair definitely has
- 1:01:57You know that. If she saved.
- 1:02:01The money. From frying the shit out of her
- 1:02:04hair that she does like all the time and saved her skin budget
- 1:02:09for those shitty spray tans and tanning beds for maybe even two
- 1:02:14months. She could probably have her wet
- 1:02:16bar. Yeah, she could forgo the.
- 1:02:19Wet bar and. Fund Maddie's schooling and
- 1:02:23Maddie could do her hair. Oh God, in the wet bar.
- 1:02:26Well, no, never. It's right.
- 1:02:27Because she wouldn't have the wet bar.
- 1:02:29See, I'm not good at the math with all of this, but Meri
- 1:02:32spends a lot of money on frying that hair and frying that skin,
- 1:02:34and we have to see it every ounce of that spray tan.
- 1:02:38Has settled into a wrinkle, and it's just showing every
- 1:02:44wrinkle, showing every. Bump on her.
- 1:02:45Face and every crack and nook and cranny gaping pour.
- 1:02:55Every imperfection on her face.
- 1:02:56Is like. Cheeto dust all over it and
- 1:03:00these eyebrows that are oddly shaped and thin but yet are not
- 1:03:07like pencil. Thin so.
- 1:03:09It's like a weird thin choice. And the hair and just the way
- 1:03:14that she holds her face to is like Meri, you know?
- 1:03:17Like there's something about her chin and her nest.
- 1:03:19And then when she's in constant tears over her fifth bedroom in
- 1:03:24the wet. Bar and it's like.
- 1:03:26Bitch, you look insane. The furrowed brow.
- 1:03:29Yeah, it's. Accentuated by the dark weird
- 1:03:32tan, it makes it look like a cartoon character with like
- 1:03:38those big eyebrow like deep lines above the brow.
- 1:03:42Like the expression lines are very exaggerated because of this
- 1:03:48Now I think I might have a. Direct quote here from Meri
- 1:03:52Brown. I don't want to be judged for
- 1:03:55having the extra rooms. I don't need the room and I'm
- 1:04:00like Oh my God, did you just say that out loud?
- 1:04:03And then immediately they showed Janelle and she is seething
- 1:04:07inside. You can just tell that she is
- 1:04:09ready to jump off the couch and be like bitch, you're dumb as
- 1:04:12fuck. You just said you don't even
- 1:04:13need the room so why are you even worried about this?
- 1:04:16She literally came out and said that she didn't need the room.
- 1:04:29It's so. True.
- 1:04:30Awful. And I was.
- 1:04:32Totally team. Janelle in.
- 1:04:33All of these exchanges. Because it was like scary.
- 1:04:36Get a grip we. Get.
- 1:04:39I don't. Know probably one of the best
- 1:04:41quotes of this episode, and there's been a lot of them.
- 1:04:44It's just kind of the cards. That we were dealt with.
- 1:04:48The kids in the homes and we just do the best with what we
- 1:04:53can with it and then we get her face I.
- 1:04:57Wrote down what the actual. Fuck, like what does this even
- 1:05:13cards to get what she wants because she is throwing in,
- 1:05:18well, we're just dealt these cards like with how many kids I
- 1:05:22couldn't have, and now we're just dealt these cards with
- 1:05:24these homes that we're going to have to get.
- 1:05:28She has no control. Over any of it.
- 1:05:31She's the victim of all. These circumstances.
- 1:05:34Of her 5th. Bedroom in the wet box.
- 1:05:37Oh my God, it's out of control. It.
- 1:05:40Really got out of control now another.
- 1:05:42Reason that you guys are glad that this is an audio.
- 1:05:45Only podcast at this point is because I noticed now what Meri
- 1:05:48was wearing and it was a blue tank top with floral ruffles
- 1:05:55going across her torso layered over a pink tight shirt long
- 1:06:01sleeve that was so tight and thin fabric that it made her
- 1:06:07arms look like sausages dead. And I don't know what those I
- 1:06:12don't. Do do those.
- 1:06:13Shirts have a. Name this sausage casings.
- 1:06:16It was like, girl, they're. Garments.
- 1:06:19It's the garment that they have to wear under their stuff.
- 1:06:23Well, I don't think it's the actual Mormon underwear.
- 1:06:26Because it's pink. And like, yeah, like it's just
- 1:06:31I think for the garment. Though I think that they
- 1:06:35mentioned that, but I think that these long like tight sleeve
- 1:06:39shirts that they wear under stuff a lot is there like way of
- 1:06:47I just don't know why the. Choice needs to be like static
- 1:06:56Anything. For her, other than making.
- 1:06:57Her look like a bag of crap and I was like, Oh my God, Meri, I'm
- 1:07:03Do not wear light pink leggings, Do not wear tan or beige
- 1:07:08leggings and do not wear them especially with no long shirt or
- 1:07:14That when someone else is walking up on your ass in
- 1:07:17Walmart, they think you're naked.
- 1:07:19OK. Yeah, because that's what this
- 1:07:23Far away, it would be one of those odd, weird things where
- 1:07:26you think someone's naked and they're not, or you're like,
- 1:07:28God, her arms are awfully pink. And then you're like, oh, she's
- 1:07:30wearing a. Shirt she did have a tank top
- 1:07:32over so I wouldn't have thought she was naked.
- 1:07:34But it is very weird and not yeah needed.
- 1:07:37Then I don't know. Usually they go for white so.
- 1:07:42Yeah, you're right, Pink. Was a weird choice.
- 1:07:44It's just there's been a few moments in this.
- 1:07:47Episode. Where she's wearing the layers
- 1:07:54It is sausage casing and it's terrible.
- 1:07:57I will say I think that in. This episode I did notice that
- 1:08:07Oh, sure, yeah, they've gained some of their weight.
- 1:08:10Back from the gym? Yeah.
- 1:08:12From the polygamy. What was the name that Kody was
- 1:08:15like? Fundamentalist fitness.
- 1:08:17Fundamentalist fitness. Fitness Fundamentals.
- 1:08:19It's like, Oh my. God.
- 1:08:21Returning back to the model home.
- 1:08:24Christine asks how. Long until we can move in and
- 1:08:27they say 5 months from breaking ground and they also say that
- 1:08:31they can start building as soon as they make their selections.
- 1:08:37As soon as that happens they can start breaking ground and then
- 1:08:43blah blah blah from the builders about how you know oh I only
- 1:08:45have one wife and trying to make choices is hard enough.
- 1:08:48I can't imagine having 4 ha ha ha ha ha and I was like.
- 1:08:52Who cares? Yeah.
- 1:08:53They do say though, that if they.
- 1:08:55Got the decisions they could start and have builders there
- 1:08:59within a week. Like immediately start building
- 1:09:02they just have to make their. Decisions just get your dumb ass
- 1:09:07Stamp on that five bedroom. House with a hobby room and a
- 1:09:11pantry and a wet bar. Just quit Hemming and hot and
- 1:09:15let the bitch do it already. She's a simple woman, simple
- 1:09:18taste. Modest, meek and humble.
- 1:09:21Selfless with a really, really bad hair and makeup.
- 1:09:27Cut to Janelle's house and everyone's getting ready to
- 1:09:31attend Logan's high school graduation now This is why I was
- 1:09:43What's the answer to? This is of celebrate.
- 1:09:46I don't know. Yeah, as we move on or what's?
- 1:09:55Vitamin C or. Orange Peels or whatever her
- 1:10:01name is. I hated that whole thing because
- 1:10:04And I'm like, you know, you're
- 1:10:08That song came out when we were moving from.
- 1:10:10Our like very first house when
- 1:10:13Montana as children, and that song, every time it would come
- 1:10:19on the radio, my sister would just start bawling and crying
- 1:10:21and run away. Sorry, she could not.
- 1:10:24Handle it Vitamin C. Gives me.
- 1:10:26Mckelty vibes not into. It does tacky.
- 1:10:32So now everyone's bustling around Janelle's house, getting
- 1:10:35ready to go to Logan's high school graduation.
- 1:10:38You know, there's Hemming, hiing, yelling, screaming, blah
- 1:10:40blah blah. She tells us that they took a
- 1:10:43vacation and got back yesterday.
- 1:10:45And so Kody's also filling us in a little bit that, you know, the
- 1:10:53specifically. Maybe Janelle was a little LAX
- 1:10:58sensitive to being told that she needed to provide more details.
- 1:11:02Like little, who the fuck cares.
- 1:11:04But then it turns out later, oh,
- 1:11:08really need to provide as many
- 1:11:11people because they're the Browns.
- 1:11:12They apparently don't know how a
- 1:11:15Yeah, they've. Never been to a graduation.
- 1:11:18I guess it is their first child.
- 1:11:20It's their first child graduating, but come on.
- 1:11:22Everybody kind of knows how to. They have so many siblings of
- 1:11:26their own. Shut up.
- 1:11:27They have all been to at least one graduation.
- 1:11:29I mean, Robyn barely grew up in polygamy.
- 1:11:32And Christine is the only one that really did so she would be
- 1:11:35the one that you could maybe go all right, like maybe you never
- 1:11:38went to a public school graduation.
- 1:11:40Even I find that hard to believe.
- 1:11:42So I don't know. But Kody tells Janelle that she
- 1:11:46needs. To clarify.
- 1:11:47For the adults, and she interprets it as a personal
- 1:11:50attack, blah, blah, blah. And this was where I was going.
- 1:11:55Oh my God, I could never survive
- 1:11:57in this house because they yell so much.
- 1:12:00There's so much yelling. Get ready.
- 1:12:02Do this, blah, blah, blah. Change your pants, change your
- 1:12:05hair, change your face. Lose some weight.
- 1:12:07Logan in a ditch? Logan's hanging.
- 1:12:11Two shirts. Over.
- 1:12:13The edge of the stairs, like down the center of the stairs,
- 1:12:17yelling which one? And Janelle's like yelling up
- 1:12:20that one. Like the one that looks nicer.
- 1:12:23And it's like you are literally getting ready for your
- 1:12:26graduation and you didn't have
- 1:12:28you were going to wear. It is things like that that kind
- 1:12:31of blow my mind. We have to leave in 15 minutes.
- 1:12:33Hunter's always late. Because he procrastinates and
- 1:12:35takes a long time to do his hair.
- 1:12:37He takes longer to do his hair
- 1:12:39And I'm like, my God, this whole
- 1:12:42Giving me not. Real anxiety, but like the kind
- 1:12:45of feel of like I would be the
- 1:12:48here anymore, I can't deal with this.
- 1:12:49It's too much. Just chaos.
- 1:12:51Yeah, you were. You made it nice by saying
- 1:12:55bustling around. I was going to say like pure and
- 1:12:58utter chaos, madness, madness for sure.
- 1:13:01Now we do get an. Update also from Robyn here
- 1:13:04about her plan to attend the high school graduation of Mr.
- 1:13:08Logan. She says her plan is to
- 1:13:10intentionally get there late because Solomon, Solomon,
- 1:13:16because Solomon cries a lot. She's got a little colicky baby,
- 1:13:21little Sol, little Solomon, little King Solomon cries and
- 1:13:25cries and cries and cries. And so she's going to leave late
- 1:13:28to get there late. And you pointed out something
- 1:13:30that I thought was rather interesting about this plan from
- 1:13:33the beginning. Well, Janelle had told Robyn
- 1:13:36that it was going. To be a four or five hour
- 1:13:38ceremony. So that is why Robyn decided,
- 1:13:41OK, if it's a long ceremony, I'm
- 1:13:45And my initial thought was, OK
- 1:13:50Brown. You're going to be at the
- 1:13:52beginning of the ceremony. Show up early, watch him walk
- 1:13:58and then leave. Don't plan on showing up late.
- 1:14:02It's not like their name is halfway through the alphabet or
- 1:14:05towards the end of the alphabet.
- 1:14:06Then that would have made sense. Yeah, it did not make sense to
- 1:14:12What was just around? Where's your your big titty
- 1:14:15niece? Where's all these people that
- 1:14:16are watching your children? Where are the people that are
- 1:14:19raising your kids? Leave your child with that
- 1:14:21person. Yeah.
- 1:14:22Why are you dragging your baby to this?
- 1:14:24And you're going to. Bring a baby late right?
- 1:14:26Everyone knows it's hard to show up with a baby anywhere like on
- 1:14:31time like anyways so leave at the normal time and you still
- 1:14:35will be late because of your baby.
- 1:14:37She's such an idiot now. Maddie's.
- 1:14:40Skirt comes up because, you know, it's maybe a centimeter
- 1:14:43above her kneecap or some sort of thing where Janelle is
- 1:14:47convinced that Kody is going to be upset about Maddie's skirt
- 1:14:52because it's what a hooker would wear.
- 1:14:55Hooker. That's what a street Walker
- 1:14:57would. Wear a common whore.
- 1:14:59And Logan's like, it's not a party skirt, it's a pencil
- 1:15:04skirt. He literally steps in and he's
- 1:15:08Yeah. It's not a party dress, it's a
- 1:15:13Yeah, which was the style of this.
- 1:15:16Time. Like you'd wear pencil skirt out
- 1:15:24A party skirt it makes. Me look a little easy.
- 1:15:27So I like to go with a pencil skirt, just like Maddie.
- 1:15:29Oh God, I take it all back. No, no.
- 1:15:35So anyway, stupid. Debacle over nothing.
- 1:15:37And it gives Kody an opportunity to talk about modesty and I
- 1:15:41don't know that easy to like. Yeah, I know.
- 1:15:44Yeah. He's awful.
- 1:15:45I've put. Daughters.
- 1:15:46To tears saying dads should never see those parts of their
- 1:15:53And he's talking about his. Daughters.
- 1:15:56Crying and putting him to tears, saying that.
- 1:16:00And it's like, that's OK. Are you thinking that that's
- 1:16:04like a good thing? Everyone's like, oh, well,
- 1:16:06they're girls. They're just sensitive about
- 1:16:08that. And it's like, well, not really.
- 1:16:12they're not dressing any type of
- 1:16:15And this is my biggest pet peeve.
- 1:16:18Like with young women, they're
- 1:16:22Well, these girls, they're being
- 1:16:25Very, very. Young age women in general, like
- 1:16:29I don't even know, like a lot of
- 1:16:32the first time that they noticed
- 1:16:35body and the age would appall you.
- 1:16:37And I'm just thinking of his daughters and I'm going to say
- 1:16:43She does. She's very young and she
- 1:16:47probably started growing boobs at a young age and people were
- 1:16:53I think they say she's a freshman this year and even she
- 1:16:57was wearing like a normal V-neck T-shirt that on a girl
- 1:17:03that's less voluptuous, you wouldn't bat an eye at.
- 1:17:07Now you put that T-shirt on a girl that has larger boobs and
- 1:17:20daughters. They're all going to have
- 1:17:21different bodies. They're all going to look
- 1:17:23different. You could put a T-shirt on
- 1:17:24Maddie and you could put a T-shirt on your other daughter
- 1:17:29And you're going to be OK with one daughter wearing it, but
- 1:17:31you're going to shame the other one because she has bigger
- 1:17:34boobs. It's like, God, it just goes
- 1:17:36into this whole conversation about like misogyny and
- 1:17:39sexualizing girls from a young age.
- 1:17:41And it's like, you're the one being a pervert here, like, not
- 1:17:45them. Agreed.
- 1:17:46And. To reemphasize a point that you
- 1:17:51had said, these girls are not walking around in like crazy
- 1:17:55outfits where you're like, Oh my God, a second Britney Spears
- 1:17:59reference for hit me baby one more time.
- 1:18:01That is not happening here. We are literally talking about
- 1:18:12Like it's ridiculous. Well, that's why I called out
- 1:18:14earlier too. They show.
- 1:18:15Maddie, she's talking about the school thing and doing hair, and
- 1:18:22the water with her friends. She's wearing like capris and a
- 1:18:26basic V-neck. And then they have to cut to the
- 1:18:31looking at her. Nunga nungas.
- 1:18:32Yeah. And I'm like, they're doing this
- 1:18:41provocatively. And it's like, no, she's not.
- 1:18:43Like she's a minor and she's high and you are.
- 1:18:47Filming it and putting it on television, I mean, I don't
- 1:18:51know. But they are like trying to make
- 1:18:55her and some of the other daughters seem a certain way.
- 1:18:58And just like, in all honesty,
- 1:19:05older have bigger boobs. They just do they're, you know,
- 1:19:10they are a little bit bigger in general and they got bigger
- 1:19:12boobs. And there's nothing wrong with
- 1:19:15that. And they're just basically
- 1:19:19saying like, oh. Yeah, you're being.
- 1:19:21Provocative and it's like they're I had a friend in high
- 1:19:24school that had really big boobs
- 1:19:29had this problem and I always felt so bad for her because me
- 1:19:32and her could literally buy the same shirt and people would
- 1:19:35treat her differently than me inside just really do feel for
- 1:19:39his daughters and they're making jokes about it and he's been
- 1:19:41oh, I made my daughter's cry because, you know, I said they
- 1:19:45need to go change No, they're you're shaming them for their
- 1:19:48bodies and they're probably already embarrassed and
- 1:19:50they're going through puberty and you need to let it go and
- 1:19:53Kody of course lacks the. Intellect or emotional
- 1:19:57understanding, maturity, whatever the word would be to be
- 1:20:01like. Oh, the real issue is.
- 1:20:04How men look at women, like you're saying like the way that
- 1:20:07men treat women, the way that society treats women.
- 1:20:11He can't do that. He's like, oh, I have this
- 1:20:13religious dogma that makes me yell at my daughters and make
- 1:20:16them cry. And I'm proud about it and
- 1:20:18talking about it on TV. Like what?
- 1:20:21And I got my wife over here in a
- 1:20:23Because she can't show her arms like.
- 1:20:29Meanwhile, Robyn's. Selling her?
- 1:20:30Jesus poop panties. On the Internet, I know like
- 1:20:33double standards much, Kody. Jesus, get it together.
- 1:20:37Oh God, oh God, it's true. Let's move on from this, even
- 1:20:42though we are scarred. The graduation is happening at
- 1:20:45UNLV at an auditorium that's big
- 1:20:50attendees. So yeah, it's not at a high
- 1:20:52school. It is at a college, university
- 1:20:55campus. Cool.
- 1:20:57Whatever. They're pointing that out
- 1:20:58because literally we're going to
- 1:21:02arrival and how she's. Unfamiliar.
- 1:21:06And you know, it was like finding.
- 1:21:08A needle in a haystack trying to
- 1:21:10I'm like, an auditorium is not a
- 1:21:13bitch. I was stopping people on the
- 1:21:15side of the. Road asking college students
- 1:21:18where it was, she was said that I was just.
- 1:21:22Getting this picture? We're rolling down the minivan
- 1:21:24window. Saul in the back crying and
- 1:21:26wailing and screaming and she's like, do you know where the
- 1:21:29blah blah blah auditorium is? And they're like, like right
- 1:21:32there or like take a left and she like takes a right and she's
- 1:21:37drive. She drives and takes a right.
- 1:21:39Don't worry, that's just my baby
- 1:21:42In the. Back there with my third grade
- 1:21:45education, I'm going to take a
- 1:21:48Sun, she goes left like, Oh my
- 1:21:52up and make the bed and do the
- 1:21:55Driving, she takes both hands off the wheel to make the bed
- 1:22:00she causes. An accident making a.
- 1:22:01Left with her hand, she's such.
- 1:22:04An. Idiot.
- 1:22:04I love that we're just making this up.
- 1:22:06She tries to blame Meri, though. She says Meri forgot her camera.
- 1:22:12back and get her camera. So I had to pick up her camera.
- 1:22:16God forbid she doesn't have her camera.
- 1:22:18To make us take 500 photos. With our chins tilted
- 1:22:21differently also like OK yes DSLR cameras.
- 1:22:27A certain kind of. Mom, certain kind of time.
- 1:22:29Amen. As someone who has taken a
- 1:22:32photograph in my day, what kind of photos do you think you're
- 1:22:35going to get from 1,000,000 miles away of this graduation?
- 1:22:39And this is not the only photo
- 1:22:42Going to say it gets worse. It gets even worse.
- 1:22:44It's like, what are you thinking
- 1:22:46Going to do. Anyway, whatever, because
- 1:22:49literally when they get into the
- 1:22:52nosebleeds. They are up way in the section,
- 1:22:54like up in the like elevated seating.
- 1:22:57OK, they probably could have at least gotten like a photo of
- 1:23:00the back of his blonde head with
- 1:23:02'S camera versus their cell phone cameras, which they
- 1:23:05attempt to do, but you know, oh,
- 1:23:08remember seeing if the when they were.
- 1:23:10Getting their diplomas if they were up on a screen, like if
- 1:23:13that was something you could take a photo of.
- 1:23:15But it's still just like, as a person who's lived a life, I can
- 1:23:24Of things. That are happening life moments.
- 1:23:28I just kind of want to shake them because I'm like, you could
- 1:23:30have actually just experienced
- 1:23:32You documented something so terribly that you're not even
- 1:23:35going to be able to enjoy the documentation.
- 1:23:36So what's the point? You have an entire camera crew
- 1:23:39here with you too. Like take a fucking still of the
- 1:23:41TV. Show this is not the only show
- 1:23:43where that happens, these reality shows, but they're like,
- 1:23:45we've got to film it and I'm like.
- 1:23:46They are filming it, Yeah. Like you are literally being
- 1:23:49filmed. Anyway, OK, sorry, tangent,
- 1:23:51tangent. They go back to the gym and
- 1:23:54they're kind of all gathering around and.
- 1:23:56Getting into their seats and stuff.
- 1:23:58And then we get some voice overs
- 1:24:02all of these moms raised him and all the moms deserve the
- 1:24:08accolades and they're shared between everyone.
- 1:24:10And he talks about how Christine
- 1:24:14Janelle was out working. Kody said this.
- 1:24:18Yeah, Kody, says Christine. Basically raised him while.
- 1:24:21Janelle worked. I totally missed that.
- 1:24:24That's insane. I wrote the quote down.
- 1:24:26Because I was like, that's kind of shit thing to say.
- 1:24:30Right. And even though it's kind of
- 1:24:32true, you don't really, I mean.
- 1:24:34It's way too blanket of a statement like that is not true.
- 1:24:40elements of truth to it. It's not completely true.
- 1:24:42They. Do make a point.
- 1:24:43Of showing Christine talking. About, you know, her bond with
- 1:24:47him and how close they were and how she did tutor them and she
- 1:24:54homeschooled them and then was a
- 1:24:58schools. Yeah.
- 1:24:58So, you know, I'm sure that they were extremely close and that
- 1:25:01she. Actually.
- 1:25:02Really has been the second mom to him if any of them you know.
- 1:25:08So I'm now remembering why I
- 1:25:10don't remember. I now remember why I don't
- 1:25:13remember, because during this time is.
- 1:25:15When they're showing that. Old footage of Logan being a
- 1:25:18little boy while Christine's talking about this.
- 1:25:21And this is where I got a little
- 1:25:23this episode. I'm a real man.
- 1:25:25I'm not afraid to cry. I'm not afraid to wear pink.
- 1:25:28It got me in the feels. Like he was such a good little
- 1:25:30cutie patootie. And they're like showing these
- 1:25:33old videos and photos of him as a little boy.
- 1:25:35And I was like, Oh my gosh, like
- 1:25:38little brothers. And it's just so adorable.
- 1:25:40And like there is a special connection between him and
- 1:25:43Christine. And it was great to actually
- 1:25:46hear her talking about that. I liked it.
- 1:25:48And it's funny because it's hot off the heels of everyone in
- 1:25:51the stands waiting for the ceremony to begin and Kody
- 1:25:53talking about giving Robyn directions to the fucking
- 1:25:57place on the phone. And it's like, Oh my God, this
- 1:26:02moment of Logan as a little boy. It was really cute and I think
- 1:26:09Because of the quote that Kody said.
- 1:26:11And it's like Janelle, you know, has been the working mom like
- 1:26:15the entire time and she's been billed as the working mom for
- 1:26:19this entire show. And so for him to say that and
- 1:26:26her, I would feel a little hurt by that statement, even if it is
- 1:26:33And I don't want to feel like my daycare is more of a mom to my
- 1:26:46because it's like you're watching Janelle like slowly get
- 1:26:54And I don't know, it's just kind of like Kody's just so fucking
- 1:27:00blanket statements where it's like, it's just, it's just
- 1:27:02insensitive and he needs to kind of think of his wording more.
- 1:27:05And he just never will. He never does.
- 1:27:07He never will. And they pull quotes like that
- 1:27:14actually did sit down and watch the episodes, because there
- 1:27:19would be no wonder why they. All.
- 1:27:23Fucking hate him so much, you know, like it would have
- 1:27:28happened sooner, yeah. It would have happened even
- 1:27:30sooner. If they had seen some of these
- 1:27:34Christine basically raised him while Janelle worked.
- 1:27:37OK, terrible. Like.
- 1:27:38Fuck off. OK.
- 1:27:39And it's just so unnecessary. It's about a it's like a lot of
- 1:27:42the things that he has said. Yeah, in this.
- 1:27:44Show where it's it's just unnecessary throw away comments.
- 1:27:48Yeah, that he and Robyn throw away.
- 1:27:50They have a special bond. And Speaking of Robyn.
- 1:27:53She's like I got. Lost.
- 1:27:56This is where she was. Saying I'm stopping students
- 1:28:00and. You know where?
- 1:28:01The auditorium. Is and they're like, ma'am, are
- 1:28:03you OK? She's like, hold on.
- 1:28:08She like. Moves her square draw to the
- 1:28:10left. And she's like, hold on.
- 1:28:11Left OK, I'm making the L Saul
- 1:28:16my God, this woman is on disaster and I can't get over
- 1:28:21the idea of her thinking she should come late.
- 1:28:23It's just irritating, so irritating.
- 1:28:27Do you really think that she thought she should run late, or
- 1:28:30did she really just want attention?
- 1:28:32That's what I want to know because like Kody says that too,
- 1:28:35Robyn's running late and it's diploma time and I got to go get
- 1:28:39her. Oh God, of course you do, Kody.
- 1:28:42Of course you have to go and save.
- 1:28:43Robyn and potentially. Miss your first borns
- 1:28:47graduation, high school graduation because you're
- 1:28:50chasing Robyn down who can't figure out which direction's.
- 1:28:53Left like she's an idiot and they transition into this part
- 1:28:57of the ceremony where they're receiving diplomas.
- 1:29:00And I noted for the class of 2012, in case anyone is, you
- 1:29:04know, not remembering what year we're in.
- 1:29:05It's 2012. Kody literally gets up out of
- 1:29:09his seat to go find Robyn, and
- 1:29:14terrible. But it's great as far as footage
- 1:29:16because there is someone far back.
- 1:29:19There's someone on the other side of wherever would like a
- 1:29:22turbo zoom lens who's like in it, and he's going up the stairs
- 1:29:28in this auditorium, those concrete stairs level by level
- 1:29:31by level bumper Durber Dur running up to go find Robyn and
- 1:29:36Christine and Janelle are both
- 1:29:40talking about how they're texting him to come back because
- 1:29:42it's like, hello, things have started.
- 1:29:44Things are happening. Our child who has AB last name,
- 1:29:46the same last name you have is
- 1:29:51Oh, God. And I just thought to myself,
- 1:29:53well, at least his ass wasn't sweaty this time.
- 1:29:55As he was running up those stairs, unlike those Mayan
- 1:30:00ruins. I sweat my pants, Mayor.
- 1:30:03Thank God he didn't do it in. Front of this auditorium of.
- 1:30:06Teenage children. Logan doesn't have enough to be
- 1:30:09embarrassed about. He's got his dad's sweaty.
- 1:30:11Ass in this fucking. Auditorium that Swash back down
- 1:30:14here, Kody, you're going to miss
- 1:30:16And Kody does get. Back in time for this though,
- 1:30:18right? Like when they actually.
- 1:30:20Announce Logan Taylor Brown. Kody is back like they'd show
- 1:30:25him. Shuffling, getting back into his
- 1:30:27seat, he made it back, back in
- 1:30:31To shame Maddie for recording.
- 1:30:37problem with Maddie recording?
- 1:30:40Maddie, are you? Recording this and it's like
- 1:30:42obviously. She's recording it.
- 1:30:44She's got, like, the little camcorder that's probably, like,
- 1:30:47the size of two bricks taped together right in front of her
- 1:30:50face. Yeah.
- 1:30:51Yeah. And he's like, don't stand up.
- 1:30:53Don't embarrass him. OK, Dad, you're the one standing
- 1:30:58up and running. Up the stairs to go.
- 1:31:00And get your fourth wife. But OK, I won't embarrass him
- 1:31:06sitting here recording him. Oh my God, that's good.
- 1:31:11And I mean if. He did.
- 1:31:12Have the swan. Pass.
- 1:31:13That would have made it that much harder.
- 1:31:14But like it's like. I wish that he did.
- 1:31:16I really wish he did. Now this is where another little
- 1:31:19heartbreak. Moment comes in.
- 1:31:20Oh God. So they announced, like I said,
- 1:31:23Logan Taylor Brown, he gets his diploma.
- 1:31:27It's a little old school in the sense that he walks and he
- 1:31:29meets up with a woman and puts his arm like this and she puts
- 1:31:32her arm in his and they walk down and I'm like, why is it
- 1:31:35gender related? Like that makes me want to puke.
- 1:31:38But that's OK. Let's not get distracted by my
- 1:31:41own anger and hurt. Janelle tells us that she missed
- 1:31:48the moment of Logan getting his diploma.
- 1:31:53Because she was. Trying to get her phone camera
- 1:31:56up and ready to take a photo. She was fat finger in her phone
- 1:32:00and she couldn't get the fucking
- 1:32:02Enough. And she was looking at her phone
- 1:32:04and missed him walking across the stage.
- 1:32:06Oh God. And my heart broke for her.
- 1:32:08It was so sad, it actually. Was really.
- 1:32:11Sad and Maddie. Is being a little bitch and
- 1:32:14starts. Laughing at her?
- 1:32:15Oh, I didn't notice that. She starts laughing and she's
- 1:32:18like mom. And Janelle was like of.
- 1:32:21Course Maddie had to give me hell about it or something.
- 1:32:24And then Kody's laughing at Janelle too.
- 1:32:27And so Kody and Maddie are laughing that she missed it.
- 1:32:29And then Kody's like, I didn't
- 1:32:33she was like happy or if she was
- 1:32:37It's like, of course you didn't douche Canal right?
- 1:32:40And I remember I said out loud, well, both she's.
- 1:32:43She's emotional because her son,
- 1:32:46from high school. And she's.
- 1:32:48At the graduation, and she's also upset because she missed
- 1:32:51the moment because she was fat
- 1:32:53You know, it's like she was on
- 1:32:56of that desk. And now the tears are coming.
- 1:32:57The tears are coming. She said she was mad and she was
- 1:33:00devastated. She said she was devastated,
- 1:33:03like girl, that sucks. That was that was hard to watch.
- 1:33:08I felt like the tears were you
- 1:33:12doing that thing of like, don't let it, don't let it, don't let
- 1:33:15it, don't let it. And then it like they welled up
- 1:33:18and then you could see the tears
- 1:33:21for her so much in that. I did too 'cause then Robyn's
- 1:33:24dumb ass walks in right when all
- 1:33:26Happens like right after all that happened. 1015 minutes
- 1:33:30later Robyn comes trotting in and she's mad and Kody's like
- 1:33:37Robyn's like a wet blanket coming in and it's like, this
- 1:33:42isn't about you guys, it's about
- 1:33:46And like oh I've got one wife that's late so she's mad and
- 1:33:50I've got one wife that fat fingered her phone and she's sad
- 1:33:54and this is about him and he's
- 1:33:57You're not wrong in this moment,
- 1:34:01But maybe just shut the fuck up again.
- 1:34:04When Robyn, Yes. Gets to the aisle and she's
- 1:34:06walking and Christine was like, I'm going.
- 1:34:07To give her her space, like I'm not going to like be too into
- 1:34:10it. And you can see when Robyn sits
- 1:34:12down, she like like Meri must have said something about Saul
- 1:34:15and she's just like giving the
- 1:34:19could see her John hinge and move forward and it's like she's
- 1:34:23like Johnny Bravo. She's yes, she's fucking pissed
- 1:34:27now I. It would be.
- 1:34:28Remiss of me? It would be a crime against
- 1:34:30humanity if I didn't talk about my favorite shot thus far.
- 1:34:34Favorite cameras. Oh God.
- 1:34:36Married with that ambulance in
- 1:34:39The fake, the sound, the siren.
- 1:34:41When Robyn arrives at the top of the inside of this auditorium
- 1:34:47slash Coliseum, she's at the top of the stairs.
- 1:34:50So this is what's so great the this.
- 1:34:51Camera that's off in the. Distance that caught Kody
- 1:34:54running up the stairs has now zoomed in on her and it's not
- 1:34:58well lit because it's at the top of the stairs, but it's the
- 1:35:02digital camera is still picking up enough of her where it's like
- 1:35:11serial killer. She looks insane.
- 1:35:14She looks like a psycho. She's standing at the top of the
- 1:35:30This woman I was, I would have loved to have seen someone just
- 1:35:33like push her down the stairs at that point because it was
- 1:35:36unbelievable. Unbelievable.
- 1:35:37I didn't know that I could hate Robyn any more than I already
- 1:35:41did. And as she walked down the
- 1:35:42stairs, I don't know if you heard this, but I heard she.
- 1:35:48Was straight up nuts looking. And then of course, they cut to
- 1:35:55her and she's like. It just hits me, you missed it.
- 1:35:59I'm like, you missed Dad, you
- 1:36:02fucking. Idiot.
- 1:36:03It's like you missed it, it sounded like.
- 1:36:06That guy that does Harry Carey, whatever his name is, you
- 1:36:09missed it. Like Oh my God, yes, you missed
- 1:36:13it. Oh God.
- 1:36:15And after she sits down, we talked about they can all sense
- 1:36:18how mad she. Is.
- 1:36:19And Janelle's like, well, we were all frustrated and we
- 1:36:22weren't interacting. And I was like, yeah, they all
- 1:36:26look pissed. No one is talking.
- 1:36:28Yeah, I'm thinking to myself, they need to get it.
- 1:36:31Together to be. Celebrating Logan like this is
- 1:36:34Logan's celebration and they all
- 1:36:37fucking babies sit in a row, poopy faced, all mad about
- 1:36:41everything. And it's like, it's just kind of
- 1:36:45And not to make it all about me, but it sucks when you're doing a
- 1:36:51Luckily he didn't have to see this in person.
- 1:36:53I was going to say, look. Luckily, he didn't just look up
- 1:36:56and like, smile back at them and they're.
- 1:36:58Like no OK, and they all look pissed.
- 1:37:00It's like y'all Kody did. Say like to Kody's credit, this.
- 1:37:07He did say I was like, OK everyone like we got wet blanket
- 1:37:12energy here and we need to shake
- 1:37:15It's about him, not us. And he did say that, but that
- 1:37:20was a voiceover. So did he really say that or did
- 1:37:22he say that after the fact when he realized how right they were
- 1:37:27acting like someone shit in their Cheerios 'cause when they
- 1:37:29showed the clip of them like he didn't look like he was being
- 1:37:32all like you guys? Let's turn these He was not.
- 1:37:35He was sitting in the middle of them, straightforward, trying
- 1:37:37not to. Get.
- 1:37:38Kicked in the Dick. Yeah, yeah, it's true.
- 1:37:42It's funny because the only one.
- 1:37:43That probably. Wasn't.
- 1:37:44Upset was Meri at the end and it's like, what a turn of
- 1:37:48events. Meri's not crying and freaking
- 1:37:53There's nothing. She's sitting down there looking
- 1:37:59Give me Solomon. And I'm Robyn in trouble for one
- 1:38:07Bar this wet part, part of me wonders if this wasn't Robyn's
- 1:38:13Kody telling her, well, you should just come later then
- 1:38:16because you're going to have to bring Saul and he's not going to
- 1:38:26I agree. She looks so she looks literally
- 1:38:30A ploy to get attention. When they showed.
- 1:38:32It in the preview I thought. This dumb bitch is trying to
- 1:38:35make this about her. She is going to be like the Oh
- 1:38:42Oh no woe is me damsel in distress.
- 1:38:44I don't think it was that situation.
- 1:38:46I think she was just dumb enough to not be able to find where she
- 1:38:55So I think she's actually really mad at Kody because there's some
- 1:39:04She missed it and I think it's more important that.
- 1:39:08The whole thing is happening then that she missed Logan's
- 1:39:11graduation. I think so too.
- 1:39:12I think she's upset that this is happening and Kody probably.
- 1:39:15Made the suggestion. Or didn't talk her out of it
- 1:39:19when he should have. Yeah, you're right.
- 1:39:21Oh God, fuck Kody. As per usual, they go outside.
- 1:39:31afterwards and Janelle is wearing a red shirt with a pink
- 1:39:36flower lay. And I noticed it the whole time.
- 1:39:41because they they meet up with
- 1:39:44photos together and all the moms
- 1:39:47with Logan and Janelle is wearing a red shirt and a pink
- 1:39:54lay like she just got off a plane in Hawaii.
- 1:39:58I didn't. I know.
- 1:39:59I remember the red shirt, the pink.
- 1:40:01Clay didn't stand out to me. Is there a reason?
- 1:40:03Like, is UNLV some sort of like?
- 1:40:06I was like, is this in solidarity for something?
- 1:40:09Is this like a mom of the graduating class and then no one
- 1:40:17their mascot. So we know that's the balls with
- 1:40:25a thing like if you're a. Mother of a graduate, you get a
- 1:40:28lay, But why would that even be a thing in the middle of the
- 1:40:31desert? And why would you wear it?
- 1:40:32Photos I don't quite follow. We get a spotlight moment from
- 1:40:46mattered to him that his family was there for the ceremony
- 1:40:50itself. So while he's sharing that, I
- 1:40:54also kind of wonder, like, do most high school seniors really
- 1:40:58care about their family being there?
- 1:40:59Probably not that much, but also maybe yes.
- 1:41:03And so for them to have been so fucked up and pissed and
- 1:41:10ridiculous, yeah. I mean, my parents didn't come
- 1:41:18like, insane. And when I called him out about
- 1:41:20it because I was like, well, I guess I didn't tell you and
- 1:41:22pressure you to come. I just assumed you'd want to.
- 1:41:26My mom literally said, well, I just thought if we won money,
- 1:41:30then I would give it to you. And I'm like, oh, swear to God,
- 1:41:34swear to God, hand on Bible. So when you have those kind of
- 1:41:42lose respect. And I just felt bad for him
- 1:41:45because I think he probably was feeling like it would be great
- 1:41:51overshadowed by stupid bullshit. My biggest nightmare would be
- 1:41:54like, oh I'm going to my kids show.
- 1:41:57Let's say. Let's say they're as wonderful
- 1:42:00Singing and they decide that they're going to be, you know,
- 1:42:10their solo is. I'm going to be that mom.
- 1:42:12That's like trying not to, like, pee your pants because I want to
- 1:42:15Or like if I were to get up to go to the bathroom, God forbid,
- 1:42:18I missed that like 1 moment, you know, type of thing.
- 1:42:21And that's why I'm saying like for Janelle, I was heartbroken
- 1:42:28know, when there are just parents that don't think that
- 1:42:32these things are big deals in it.
- 1:42:34God. And so if you want, even as like
- 1:42:39thing, you might not. Even know it's a big deal until
- 1:42:42you realize they didn't even watch.
- 1:42:44They didn't even come. They were fighting about stupid
- 1:42:46shit till you look back and then it's like that's what was
- 1:42:50My point is that at. Least if he watched this.
- 1:42:53Footage back he'll realize how upset his mom was that that this
- 1:43:02damn it and now it wasn't like a oh, I know I'm mad and like she
- 1:43:07wasn't mad. She was genuinely like upset and
- 1:43:14anger, which I don't know I think it reads different right.
- 1:43:19I think absolutely, absolutely.
- 1:43:21And to have heard what Christine
- 1:43:23Him would have been heart warming as well.
- 1:43:24She was so kind about his upbringing and everything.
- 1:43:27Yeah, we have one of the stranger transitions in Sister
- 1:43:31Wives history at. This point.
- 1:43:33Where now we're going to have Meri visiting her younger sister
- 1:43:36Elaine and it's like, where the fuck did this come from?
- 1:43:42All of a sudden. Meri's like so I decided to pop
- 1:43:45in and visit my sister Elaine.
- 1:43:47walking up the front steps and
- 1:43:49like greetings, salutations. And it's like what the fuck?
- 1:43:54There was no way coming up later
- 1:43:56To be like. There was no foreshadowing that
- 1:43:58this was going to happen. All of a sudden, Meri's visiting
- 1:44:00Elaine and Elaine just had a baby now.
- 1:44:04They both struggled with the fertility issues, but Elaine has
- 1:44:07had a baby and so Meri wanted to
- 1:44:11What stood out to me immediately
- 1:44:14Like. Leon, but just with like thick
- 1:44:17trimmed glasses. And then she starts talking and
- 1:44:20she sounds like Leon. And I was like, Oh my God.
- 1:44:25Like it's so weird when someone looks more and sounds more like
- 1:44:29a girl or an aunt or a grandparent than their actual
- 1:44:31parent. It's like, this is weird.
- 1:44:33This is weird. But then you see where it comes
- 1:44:35from, right? Did we mention Elaine is five
- 1:44:38years younger? We did not.
- 1:44:40No, but she is. I think that's important
- 1:44:42because. You know they're talking about
- 1:44:44their fertility. Issues and that they've broke,
- 1:44:46they've both struggled with fertility issues and that Elaine
- 1:44:50just had a baby. Yes, like a newborn.
- 1:44:53Meri's over there to visit Elaine and talk about fertility
- 1:44:57and hold the newborns, see the
- 1:44:59They show Kody and Meri sitting on the couch, and they're
- 1:45:03cutting between their interview and this visit with Elaine.
- 1:45:06And Kody says that Meri's indecision trifles with his, and
- 1:45:13his indecision then trifles with
- 1:45:16Yeah, trifling, trifling, trifling.
- 1:45:19And I was. Curious, I'm like, is this the?
- 1:45:21Correct use of that term. And I don't.
- 1:45:23Even know. I can't even say.
- 1:45:25I mean, is it right to say that the decision is trifling
- 1:45:28against another one? No.
- 1:45:31All I think is like you trifling
- 1:45:33I know I'm like I. Feel like trifling?
- 1:45:35Is a word I've heard about, like.
- 1:45:37I'll mannered people in music like that girl's a trifling hoe
- 1:45:41or something. Like I don't even know what that
- 1:45:43means. No, it was funny.
- 1:45:46Talk it up to us both being kind
- 1:45:48In our own ways. I suppose now Elaine says that
- 1:45:52maybe Meri is ready for the. Next phase of her life.
- 1:45:55Maybe she is ready to have a baby, which Oh my God, what?
- 1:46:00Meri's like borderline elderly
- 1:46:03Like that's what I'm saying. She's five years younger than
- 1:46:06her and even I'm. Not going to lie, even Elaine
- 1:46:08looks a little older to have a
- 1:46:11Yes, agreed. So agreed.
- 1:46:14She does say that she doesn't.
- 1:46:17Meri anymore like she did even a
- 1:46:21to thinking that maybe the whole
- 1:46:28had more to do with the fact that Robyn was pregnant and
- 1:46:33getting attention and then baby Saul was born and oh, he's
- 1:46:38getting all this attention, this
- 1:46:42And so maybe a couple of months ago, when she saw the desire in
- 1:46:48Meri's eyes, it was more related
- 1:46:52And now that's like petered out again because she's like, Oh
- 1:46:56no, no, I don't want that. Right Robyn, volunteering
- 1:47:00surrogacy off her. When she had saw.
- 1:47:04So this was already, you know,
- 1:47:07a thing before that. But then yes, because Robyn is
- 1:47:11the hot new thing, even though
- 1:47:16thing. And then you've got Meri seeing
- 1:47:20that Kody's giving all this attention to A.
- 1:47:22Newborn in. Ways that he never has with
- 1:47:24other children. I don't think the other wives
- 1:47:26would probably say he always shows up with the newborn and
- 1:47:29always does whatever. Like that was something they
- 1:47:31would have said in season 1 as a
- 1:47:34But in all reality, no. And then Robyn with his little
- 1:47:38perfect Angel saw. So I'm sure, you know, Kody was
- 1:47:42floating around and Meri was like, oh, that totally makes
- 1:47:44sense. Yeah.
- 1:47:45I think that she was like jealous of the attention and
- 1:47:48that it made her for. Blip in time, think about the
- 1:47:53prospect of it again and rose colored glasses, you know, maybe
- 1:47:59this is something that I should want or could want or do want.
- 1:48:02Well, plus babies, you know, kind of do make you want to have
- 1:48:05a baby, you know, a little. Bit like, you don't even need to
- 1:48:07be a woman and have the biological clock thing going,
- 1:48:09but like you could be like, yeah, yeah, it's fucking cute
- 1:48:12and like whatever. Even if it's Solomon for sure.
- 1:48:14I used to before having kids when some.
- 1:48:18Of my friends would have them.
- 1:48:20My joke was my ovaries are crying like, oh, I, you know,
- 1:48:25can feel the little twinge like that.
- 1:48:26I want one. And so I could see that being
- 1:48:29kind of the time that she was thinking about it more.
- 1:48:32But her sister probably knows her better than Kody does,
- 1:48:36especially after the passing of their other sister.
- 1:48:40They probably have bonded and gotten very close.
- 1:48:42And if they've both had infertility issues, they've
- 1:48:46probably spoken ad nauseam about
- 1:48:50They probably shared. Yeah.
- 1:48:52So the fact that she is saying
- 1:48:55Sees. In Meri that she is not on this
- 1:48:59page anymore, this chapter of her life is maybe over, and that
- 1:49:03Kody can't see that there's stuff going on with the
- 1:49:08miscommunication. And between.
- 1:49:10Her and Kody in this issue. Yeah, as we know, Meri says
- 1:49:14something really idiotic at one point.
- 1:49:17She says we've tried everything but in vitro and then it's
- 1:49:22like, girl, like, no, that means you have not tried everything.
- 1:49:25The only thing we haven't tried is in vitro, right?
- 1:49:28It's ridiculous. It's like.
- 1:49:30Now that means that, well, what we?
- 1:49:32Really know is you and your husband have sex like once or
- 1:49:34twice a year? Once a year.
- 1:49:38And you have not tried in vitro.
- 1:49:40So what have you been trying? Like she's a liar and a fraud.
- 1:49:45Doesn't that count with the camera crew?
- 1:49:48I've been crying on film a lot about it.
- 1:49:50Like that's what. They show they show clips of
- 1:49:53them at these doctor's office appointments.
- 1:49:55From the show, Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
- 1:49:58And yet they have pulled no. Triggers, but they've tried
- 1:50:02everything except Kody's like I haven't shot AI was going to say
- 1:50:14Time like Oh my God, Kody. And understandable, Elaine tells
- 1:50:23and then marry hymns and haws and hymns and.
- 1:50:26Haws and said a bunch of. Shit that I don't even care
- 1:50:29about. I mean, I don't even know.
- 1:50:30She said that she's been trying to get everyone's opinion on the
- 1:50:37thinking that maybe she just needs gods, right?
- 1:50:40I'm trying to figure it out. I'm getting people's opinions.
- 1:50:51I'm like. And she goes.
- 1:50:53I'm trying. It's like get.
- 1:50:55God's. Opinion isn't that really just
- 1:51:07I mean, you know, like I don't even want to like dog on
- 1:51:11spiritual people or. Religious.
- 1:51:12Folk or anything like that. It's just like the way that this
- 1:51:23Probably most people. Would say is like meditate on
- 1:51:28it, sit with it. In silence.
- 1:51:31And think about it. If that voice in your head
- 1:51:35speaks to you and says that you should do it, that's God
- 1:51:38answering you. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:51:40And like everybody's idea of that is different.
- 1:51:43But the way. They're talking about this is
- 1:51:47pushy and not spiritual. And so that's where the like
- 1:51:54discombobulation is with the conversation.
- 1:51:57Like. It would be spoken about
- 1:52:00differently and most like spiritual conversation.
- 1:52:04Like legitimate. I don't even want to say
- 1:52:06legitimate but like actually spiritual.
- 1:52:09Things. Yeah.
- 1:52:10Why don't you just get God's opinion?
- 1:52:12Are you fucking kidding when she
- 1:52:15I was so distracted by her crazy
- 1:52:19her Keith Urban hair. I was like, what is going on
- 1:52:23here? Like why do you look like this
- 1:52:25and why is this happening? Yeah, she says it in this like
- 1:52:28angry whining voice that I'm. Trying and she does this like
- 1:52:34Cat in the hat face, you know where they get like the severe
- 1:52:37lines that drag down next to their mouth and looks like Cat
- 1:52:40in the hat with the makeup on.
- 1:52:43She looks nuts. She looks unhinged.
- 1:52:46Yes, this whole interview is like the worst I think I've ever
- 1:52:50seen her look. And it is the spray tan that has
- 1:52:53settled into the crevices and the expression lines.
- 1:52:58And then she's a very expressive
- 1:53:01and eyebrows, and so it's just
- 1:53:08Is giving you like motion sickness?
- 1:53:12It's moving too much. It is.
- 1:53:14She needs a lot of. Botox a lot less spray tan.
- 1:53:18She looks like a troll makeup.
- 1:53:21don't. Even I don't even want.
- 1:53:23To pick on like someone for their appearance because you.
- 1:53:25Can't help the way that you look, but all of these things
- 1:53:28are things that she's like kind of done to herself and she is
- 1:53:35angry and she's not like. Tempering.
- 1:53:37Herself, and not that you should
- 1:53:41girlfriend, but at the same time, this isn't your first
- 1:53:45rodeo. You're on camera and you are
- 1:53:49making yourself look like a fucking troll under a bridge
- 1:53:52that is having a fit because someone didn't answer your
- 1:53:56Riddle correctly to cross the bridge.
- 1:53:58But they're trying to. She's going to kick Kody off
- 1:54:03that bridge. I'm trying.
- 1:54:05I'm trying. And another Oh God.
- 1:54:12There's so many golden. Moments from her we.
- 1:54:14Get another arbitrary date well before that I.
- 1:54:18Don't feel like this is like choosing.
- 1:54:20What color car I should buy? Girl, no one is insinuating that
- 1:54:26you deciding whether you should have it.
- 1:54:27Well, no, OK, it is Kody Brown, but you know, no one's saying
- 1:54:31it's like picking the color car you want to buy.
- 1:54:33Like, bitch, why are you coming up with these things?
- 1:54:36Like, I guess it might be the pressure, I don't know.
- 1:54:39But it's she's cracking. She's she's cracking all over
- 1:54:42the place. Yeah.
- 1:54:43Got so many. Cracks this.
- 1:54:44Cracks everywhere. God.
- 1:54:47God. Meri.
- 1:54:49Good. God, Meri, this.
- 1:54:51Is where I started getting. Really, really mad at Kody.
- 1:54:57Yes. So he sets another arbitrary
- 1:55:01date with her. Yeah.
- 1:55:02And he says in two months it's a
- 1:55:06Apparently they've got a big work thing coming up.
- 1:55:09They're going to be super busy
- 1:55:11And in two months it's a nowhere, it's a yes.
- 1:55:14And Kody says I'm going to have more kids, so I'm all right
- 1:55:18saying that I'm all done, I'm all good.
- 1:55:22He literally makes a washing of the hands motion and like
- 1:55:27flicks his hands down and says, so you need to decide if I'm
- 1:55:32OK not having a baby or if I'm going to go all in.
- 1:55:37And then he says he's making her
- 1:55:39Yep, I'm closing the deal now.
- 1:55:43contract. Yes or no?
- 1:55:46Yeah, two months yes or no? I need to get 1 closed.
- 1:55:50Today I was wondering if this two-month thing, because now we
- 1:55:54get a reference. To the closing of the houses,
- 1:55:57right, so we talk about buying
- 1:56:00there's more than just the homes
- 1:56:03think he's talking about a sale that he's been trying to close
- 1:56:07with the. Job because he says I need to
- 1:56:10get 1 closed today exactly like I'm going to get it out of you
- 1:56:14if I couldn't get it out of a client right and that's where I
- 1:56:18was connecting the dots with like closing on a home like.
- 1:56:20There's all of these things happening that they're not
- 1:56:23telling us. I think he's talking about
- 1:56:24closing on a deal and because then they're going into like.
- 1:56:28You've got until the move, we've
- 1:56:31got to settle, we've got this big whatever coming up with
- 1:56:36work. Like they're referencing
- 1:56:38something very vaguely with work and how it's going to be really
- 1:56:41busy the next one or two months because of the house and because
- 1:56:47moment of them kind of going through this.
- 1:56:49Conversation where I don't know what the crux, what I feel like
- 1:56:54they might have cut something out because he's like, can we
- 1:56:57get through our busy work over the next two months and then
- 1:57:00make a decision? So it's like you were the one
- 1:57:02pushing for the closing of the deal and now you're going, well,
- 1:57:07So can we discuss? Can we make this decision in a
- 1:57:12defaulting to giving her a little, you know, flexibility,
- 1:57:19But I kind of suspect there's something that I'm missing or
- 1:57:23something was going on. And so they land on the.
- 1:57:26End of the year. Basically, he says, you've got
- 1:57:32You might feel different when we move into the homes.
- 1:57:35And she goes. That's.
- 1:57:36What I've been thinking, yeah, I've been thinking I might feel
- 1:57:39different when I get into the home, right?
- 1:57:41No, he just suggested that. And so now you're going to go
- 1:57:45along with it. That was.
- 1:57:46So the vibe, that's what I've been thinking it's.
- 1:57:49Like that's not what? That didn't even cross your
- 1:57:51fucking mind. He said it and you're like,
- 1:57:53that's it. Which is in the midst of tears
- 1:57:58So dysfunctional. It's gotten very heated and like
- 1:58:03Kind of like hunched over and crying.
- 1:58:06And I, I thought by the end of this episode, the way she was
- 1:58:10crying, I was like, maybe she does really want a baby.
- 1:58:14I'd go back and forth because she has these times where she's
- 1:58:20so emotional about it. And this was a moment where it
- 1:58:28And then she's comparing it to a car and all this shit.
- 1:58:32But then by the end, like she seems to have like cracked
- 1:58:36through that facade and that she's actually like really
- 1:58:39crying about this. But then I think, and I'm like,
- 1:58:43is it because she's sad about the baby?
- 1:58:46Or is it because she's literally cracking because she's over this
- 1:58:56just happened yet again and there's all these people
- 1:59:00standing around watching it and like, is it the pressure or is
- 1:59:07My gut at the time was thinking it was the pressure particularly
- 1:59:14feel like she doesn't know whether this is going to get his
- 1:59:18In the way that she wants it. You know, like if she says yes,
- 1:59:22that she might get that, but I don't know that she wants that.
- 1:59:25I think she knows that he's like
- 1:59:27falling out of love with her, that he doesn't really care
- 1:59:30about her in the way that she wants him to.
- 1:59:33And so this is a fix, but she knows it's not a real fix, but
- 1:59:39the wrong one. Maybe she might not.
- 1:59:41Actually be consciously aware of
- 1:59:43But she it's bubbling. Under it also reminded me of the
- 1:59:47thoughtful potterer and how her indecision to pick a fucking
- 1:59:52color to put on a pot. Like this woman can wax and wane
- 1:59:57and hem and Haw and I don't even
- 2:00:01bar and the baby and the color
- 2:00:03And it's like, bitch, when you
- 2:00:08the upheaval in the move to Vegas was a lot and stuff, but
- 2:00:10by the time we're in Season 5,
- 2:00:15She's sitting around doing what?
- 2:00:16Hawking products and. Doing what like?
- 2:00:19I just kind of feel like she can't make a decision or
- 2:00:23something. There's something going on with
- 2:00:25that too. An element of that maybe.
- 2:00:27Like, yeah, she's been dragging him on for forever about it,
- 2:00:30saying. And dangling this over his head,
- 2:00:35and to keep his like, eye. And there's a disingenuous on
- 2:00:39her. A disingenuous thing.
- 2:00:41With her, but also with him. Both of them.
- 2:00:44With both of them. He's talking about it like,
- 2:00:46yeah, I mean, I really. I really.
- 2:00:48Would. Support your decision if that
- 2:00:50was your decision, you know what I mean?
- 2:00:52Like he's not being like, babe, I really would love to have a
- 2:00:55child if you really want to. Like he doesn't say that.
- 2:00:58No, he literally says I'm going to have more kids so.
- 2:01:01I'm all. Right, saying I'm all good,
- 2:01:04right? The washing of the hands, the
- 2:01:08washing of the. Hands movement that he made
- 2:01:11unbelievable. I would have stood up and
- 2:01:13slapped him in the ass. And been like.
- 2:01:16I'm done. I'm done.
- 2:01:17You're literally telling me that?
- 2:01:19You've got. Another prized mayor that you're
- 2:01:24yes or no. Oh, that prized mayor.
- 2:01:25She's got a beautiful job. Yeah.
- 2:01:27Well, and that. Could be part of the reason that
- 2:01:34Leon's been drug through this too and wanting a sibling, and
- 2:01:43Just like with the houses, how they lie to these children so
- 2:01:47many times that they have them, then they don't, then they have
- 2:01:50them, then they don't. It's they do it with everyone in
- 2:01:56partner, they're doing it with the kids, they're doing it like
- 2:01:59with themselves. It's like this fucked up lying
- 2:02:04That does make sense with Leon's upsettedness.
- 2:02:07Like. They probably are going like, I
- 2:02:10can't even get a straight fucking answer.
- 2:02:11Like the frustration level is beyond even just like
- 2:02:14emotionalness. It's like, my God, yeah,
- 2:02:17everyone in this family fucking lies.
- 2:02:20And it's about big things. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:02:23Totally dishonest. It's about life decisions that
- 2:02:28Yeah, children, marriage, moving, blah blah blah.
- 2:02:32Kody says I understand. I'm.
- 2:02:37Sorry. And I was like, is he winning an
- 2:02:42Cool. Cool.
- 2:02:43Cool. Where we supposed to?
- 2:02:44Yeah, I accept your apology. Cool, cool, cool.
- 2:02:48We're all good. Here I know we're cool like
- 2:02:52where he's like, but honestly, Kody, what colored car should?
- 2:03:02And she responds. I don't think you do.
- 2:03:05When he says he understands, I don't think you do.
- 2:03:08And then that's the end of the episode.
- 2:03:11My God, can't even with these people.
- 2:03:17Can't even. A lot to talk.
- 2:03:20About and then ends with Meri saying I don't think you
- 2:03:24understand. And it's true.
- 2:03:25He doesn't he doesn't want to, he doesn't care.
- 2:03:28He does not care. Now, darling, I believe it's
- 2:03:31your. Turn to start us.
- 2:03:33Off with your mustard seed. Let's start with mustard seed
- 2:03:36because shit stain is going to be good.
- 2:03:37So let's start with mustard seed.
- 2:03:40OK, I. I'm going to give my.
- 2:03:44Mustard seed. To.
- 2:03:46Janelle for multiple reasons, of course #1.
- 2:03:53I. Feel her pain.
- 2:03:56Now. With the.
- 2:03:58Wet bar, 5 bedroom situation and I'm on her side now.
- 2:04:04I think that Meri's being selfish and I think that Janelle
- 2:04:12that it was brought up in this episode.
- 2:04:15She threw her eyes down, and she bore holes.
- 2:04:20Into the ground. With her laser eyes and she shut
- 2:04:30Have done it. Are they real props for that?
- 2:04:34Probably not, because she probably should have spoken up.
- 2:04:37Nobody in this family ever does
- 2:04:39so take that or leave that, it
- 2:04:43I also give her props for being a good mom and supportive of
- 2:04:49her son and I just feel for her with the trying to get a photo
- 2:04:55thing. I think she kind.
- 2:04:57Of realized a little bit too late that oh shoot, Meri doesn't
- 2:05:12should be able to do this when they.
- 2:05:14Showed her because the camera that was like a cross that was.
- 2:05:18Getting like the good, you know,
- 2:05:21saying showed her in that moment
- 2:05:25phone. And you could literally see her
- 2:05:27fat thumbing it, trying to get it, like, up.
- 2:05:29And the shock on her face when she realized she missed it.
- 2:05:33The camera caught all of it. Yeah.
- 2:05:35But I have to say I do think that she is a good mom.
- 2:05:38And I think that her heart showed through in this episode.
- 2:05:43So she gets my mustard seed.
- 2:05:45That is a good choice. And I fullheartedly support that
- 2:05:49choice. I think I in this episode am
- 2:05:52going to give my mustard seed to
- 2:05:57graduation that is a big thing
- 2:06:01I liked the flashbacks that made
- 2:06:05I liked him getting ready for the graduation, eating a bowl of
- 2:06:09cereal or something and being like, mom, it's a pencil skirt.
- 2:06:12Like, come on, you know, that was good.
- 2:06:14And even his reference to like, I'm done with high school.
- 2:06:17I'm going to live my. Life.
- 2:06:18And I love that energy from like
- 2:06:22into the world being like, I'm
- 2:06:25I love that it's, I find that so
- 2:06:29like, I just don't know and I just don't know whatever.
- 2:06:32Like he's enthusiastic about his
- 2:06:34great. I love that.
- 2:06:36I hope you're ready to reveal your shit stain.
- 2:06:40Oh, as long as it looks like Jesus, this is it.
- 2:06:44Put it on display. Put it on a billboard.
- 2:06:47Who is your shit stain? I'm going to say that my shit
- 2:06:52stain. Is Kody Brown?
- 2:06:55I know. OK.
- 2:06:57It's between Meri and him. And.
- 2:07:01I'm going to choose him because of his comment that he made
- 2:07:06about that. He knows he's going to have more
- 2:07:14That was a gross. Thing to say to her.
- 2:07:17It was so. Uncomfortable to watch?
- 2:07:18Yeah, and then he talked about the girl's clothes.
- 2:07:21Towards the beginning. Middle of the episode.
- 2:07:24And then he at the very beginning of the episode started
- 2:07:37teacher conferences got to wear a whole suit.
- 2:07:39Oh my God. So yeah, all of his.
- 2:07:43Colors were shining on through. During this episode.
- 2:07:46But. The biggest one being his true
- 2:07:58She didn't even hide it. Nope, didn't even mince words
- 2:08:02also. To.
- 2:08:03Add on to your. Case as the, you know,
- 2:08:06assistant. DA.
- 2:08:06Yes, he totally told Robyn to come late with that fucking baby
- 2:08:11You are. Right.
- 2:08:12About that I. Think he did?
- 2:08:14Of course he did the. Way her jaw.
- 2:08:16Was set. It was.
- 2:08:17Down and. Out there was.
- 2:08:20Something else there, like you could have put a diamond in.
- 2:08:23There and it would. Have squished.
- 2:08:24Yeah, so good choice. OK, I'm a little surprised that
- 2:08:28one of your runner UPS wasn't Robyn, because I shouldn't say
- 2:08:35But we can't, you know, it's against the rules of nature and
- 2:08:39God and all of that to give more than one shit stain per
- 2:08:42person. And I am going to select your
- 2:08:45other runner up. Meri, Meri.
- 2:08:48Meri, Meri. Quite contrary.
- 2:08:50You know, I have given you so many mustard seeds at this show.
- 2:08:55Humiliated, embarrassed, shamed.
- 2:08:57My family, ruined my future to give you all these mustard
- 2:09:03seeds. And then this episode I.
- 2:09:04Have to give you the. Greasiest, least Jesus looking
- 2:09:17stain. The bitch is out of control.
- 2:09:22The five bedrooms, the wet bar, the crying, the comparing
- 2:09:26giving birth to picking a color of a car.
- 2:09:30It's just a lot. The manipulation she started
- 2:09:33using. The tactic of the fewer children
- 2:09:38as a manipulation in this episode and it was so apparent.
- 2:09:42Yes, she literally has lines where it's like.
- 2:09:46You just said this out loud and it's filmed and you're not even
- 2:09:51saying immediately afterwards like I didn't mean that or like,
- 2:09:54Oh my God, I'm just, I'm talking
- 2:09:57Like, no, you're just a crazy bitch.
- 2:10:00Then the faces, the makeup, the eyebrows, the hair, the
- 2:10:03clothes, just like every there was like, what was the
- 2:10:07redeeming quality for me? She.
- 2:10:08Did hold Solomon for a. Minute so that's cool.
- 2:10:12It's just terrible. Meri, you have earned this shit
- 2:10:14stain and I hope you smell it.
- 2:10:19She admitted she didn't need the
- 2:10:21He didn't need her womb. There you go, both of these shit
- 2:10:26stains at the end deserve each
- 2:10:28Oh my God that's so good. Even though they don't end up
- 2:10:30together. Worthy up Meri, worthy up our
- 2:10:33keep. Sweet moment this.
