• 2:12
  Speaker 1: We weren't able to get to them last week because
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't be ours turdy. I was like, I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: gotta go, yeah, gotta go to b D Mommy got
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to go to BID. But so we have a few calls.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Who's the first on the raster?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: The first one is Gabby.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Gabby, Yeah, Gabby.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: That's my ex's name, Gabby.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You think it's that Gabby?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: No, okay, hey girls, it is Gabby from my dumbsty
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: here in Australia. I've recorded this so many times and
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: messed it up every time, so I'm going to cut
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: straight to the chase here. I'm watching your most recent
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: speak pipe episode, and I've just noticed this ongoing conversation
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: not just from you, but a lot of people about
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: whether is Robin smart enough to you know, plan out
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to take over the whole family or manipulate you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: And she's I don't think she is, because I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: not only me, but all of us can see straight
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: through would straight through it and her intention. But because
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: she's so blatant about it, with just it's almost like
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: she's gaslighting us, Like how can she be so blatant
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: about it? But the thing about Robin and Cody, they
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: both do it, and Knight's in general, is that it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: like a survival instinct or a coping mechanism for them,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and they get so used to doing it consistently, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: that's why you notice how much they're just like so
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: apparently like they just contradict themselves constantly, and they're recorded
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: as well, and how they'll still deny it. You don't
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: have to be emotionally intelligent or smart to have this
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: plan or manipulate. You just have to be like emotionally
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: intelligent and smart to be good at it. Well that's
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: my opinion, So I'd love to see what you girls think.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That's a really good distinction that you have to be
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: emotionally and intelligent and intelligent intelligent to be good at it,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: because they are so bad at it. Yeah, and so
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: many of us, including us, Yeah, we're just like, why
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: are you even try trying to pull the wool over
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: our eyes? Like it's so obvious and obviously it's been recorded,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and we've watched every single season and we've got our
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: monocles out, like, right, hello.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: How dumb.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But they're dumb.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: They are so dumb. Well, and I had a therapist
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: once say that, like most people manipulate to like some degree,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: but it's when it crosses the barrier into like malignant
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: manipulation where you're trying to get people to do your
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: bidding and like you're lying to people in gaslighting, then
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it becomes like a personality disorder. It becomes like an
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: actual issue that you need to like fix in therapy
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: or just I don't know, do a heroic dose of
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: shrooms and kill your ego or something. But yeah, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: mean I think that's definitely a good distinction. I don't
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: think that Robin and Cody are smart, because obviously they're recorded,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: so like, if you're smart, you would know to keep
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: your lies straight and to actually be good at gaslighting
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: people even on TV. But they can't even do that,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So they're stupid.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Right, or like a reference certain things, yeah, and provide
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: false context like just at least to be believable, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they don't even have the intelligence or the intellectual power
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to do that. And I just wonder if sometimes they're
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: just joking about it, like, yeah, what are you gonna do?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Of course we're already recorded. Of course we're lying about it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Straight to your face. What are you going to do?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: They're still paying us, though sometimes it feels very.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Brazen and audacious like that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But I think I err on the side of them
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: just not being able to keep up with their lies
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: because there are so many of them, Yeah, and also
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just being woefully unintelligent, totally super dumb.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And I would also agree that I think it's like
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: a coping mechanism because of their fragile egos, like they
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: can't ever be wrong and they can't be called out
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: for the evil monster demons they are, so they have
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to cope and just continue lying because that, for some
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: reason makes them feel better. Because there are people that
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: are pathological liars and they are like that for certain reasons.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: So I could see that too. I don't know if
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: it's like a survival mechanism per se, because I hate
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: them so much, Like so I'm like, why would you
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: need to lie out of a survival.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Well, because maybe they have a sense that this gravy
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: train is going to be coming to an end. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they did seem in season nineteen to be a little
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: bit more invested in trying to create content, create moments,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: whether that was Aurora's baptism or the church or like
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: standing out in the driveway in the snow in their
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: spot in order to have an argument. Like they seem
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to be mindful of the fact that they need to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: be giving us something and so maybe they're trying to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: tap dance for their dinner maybe, but that's embarrassing. It
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is embarrassing. They're embarrassing. Yeah, they're more unsing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Gabby. Hi from Australia.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: International reck we need to have like some sort of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a sound effect for international raccoons.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. Next one we have us from Denise Sidney's.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Hi, Miss d Hi, Miss b. First of all, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: just want to say, love, love, love this little community
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: you've made of raccoons of every race, creed, color, gender
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: and sexual orientation. You're just so lovely and welcoming. This
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: is a little black raccoon. My name is Denise, I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: from Sunny Garden Grove, California. And of course, what do
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about Robin? Have you all ever
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: noticed that Robin. I've never seen Robin comfort the og three,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: not once, plenty of times. Of course, you know, Mary
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: is Robin's personal footstool and doormats, so that goes without saying.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: I've seen Christine many times try to, you know, make
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: amends with Robin, apologize to Robin, try to make Robin
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: feel comfortable. Janelle, for goodness sakes, has even comforted Robin.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Remember that scene around the restaurant season seven or eighteen,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: and Janelle's talking about how the family has changed. Of course,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Robin makes it about her Janelle gets up from her
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: chair and hugs Robin and comforts Robin. I have never
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: seen Robin reciprocate that to anyone, So anyway, I just
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: find that she's just a terrible human being. I'd really
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: like to know your thoughts on that. Never seen it
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: if anyone has seen it, Miss D Miss B, please
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: you know, let us know. But once again, have a
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: beautiful day, Love you both, bye bye.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Well can you see well, Miss B? Can you recall
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: even one incident where Robin went out of her way
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to authentically or even inauthentically comfort one of her sister wives.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I mean I've seen her do it a couple times
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: with Mary, like when Mary was crying over not getting
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: into her house for Christmas and she was disappointing Leon,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: like Robin hugged her on camera. But I think Robin
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: only ever comforts the women only on camera. I don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: think she would do it off camera or like try
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: to be a friend to any of them, because I
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: don't think she gives a crap about any of them,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: even Mary. It's just a manipulative tactic. So I don't
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: think she's ever authentically comforted anybody. I think she wants
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: all of the comfort for herself. That's why she cries
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: all the time, and she wants everybody to sympathize with her.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: But I don't think she cares about sympathizing with anybody else.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. And just because we're in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: season six right now, with our recaps, I can recall
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: how Robin tried to set up with Christine getting her
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: keys for her home, Like, yeah, Robin.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Tried to set it up.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess we don't have to leave for Wyoming
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: right now. I guess we can wait and tell Christine
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and Cody get to walk through the house and have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: their moment, which she inevitably crashed herself. Like, yeah, I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: can see Robin attempting to perform form sympathy sometimes on
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the couch, like she'll commiserate with some of the women
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or with Cody, but like, I've never seen her actually
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: do it in a way that was not self serving
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: something for herself exactly.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I think that's all it ever is for her. Honestly,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think she actually cares. But let us know
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: in the comments below if there's other episodes or scenes
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: where you think that Robin's actually comforting these women because
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: we'd love to see it if it exists. So thanks Denise,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Thanks Denise. Next one we have is from Angel.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Angel, Russia's Angel Angel.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Hello, ladies, this is Angel Raccoon from the Las Vegas Dumpster.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: So just a few things. Number one was about Mary
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: and all this baby drama that dragged out forever, it seems,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: back in the beginning, when her and Cody went on
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: their twentieth anniversary vacation. He asked her, then, do you
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: want to do in vitro Let's drop the money, let's
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: get this done, and she was like, absolutely not. I
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: don't want another baby, you know whatever. She was giving
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: him such pushback, so I think, all this, I don't know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't know. It's just so hard.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: All this stuff. It was just to keep getting attention
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: from Cody because at that point Robin was in the
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: picture and Mary wasn't starting to get you know, left out.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: To McKelty and her thinking that she's so smart and
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: everything for taking high school classes and college classes at
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: the same time, like that's a big thing here. A
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: lot of kids do that here in Las Vegas. She's
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: not a genius. I can't stand McKelty anyway, third thing,
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: when they were deciding, or when Cody was like, we
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: need to get out of here, we need to move,
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: we believed that he was doing that because he needed
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: to liquidate his with his partner and all their business dealings.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: We think he was in trouble and so he needed
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: to sell the houses fast to get cash. So I
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: think that's why.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Catch me up.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: So she talked about leaving Lee High or she talking
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: about Okay, yeah, I got it. So they needed to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: liquidate quickly to get cash.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because him and his business partner at the time,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: which I don't know which business partner she's talking about.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: If she's talking about like the gun partner, is it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: The guy from Oklahoma that he went and danced at
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: their COVID wedding. Maybe I think that was a business partner, right, So.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe he needed to get cash, so he needed to
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: sell all those homes to liquidate.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know either, but I wouldn't put it past him.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: We haven't gotten to those episodes yet, so I.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Mean, there's like a lot of different theories as to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: why they left Vegas, and I kind of just land
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: on the side of Dan was going to go to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: northern Arizona, and Robin wanted to move her entire family
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: closer to Dayton, and so that was maybe the impetus.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: But also I think that their loans were coming due.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I do think they had creative loans where they're paying
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: interest only on those culled aside homes and after a
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: certain amount of time they had to balloon pay the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: rest of it. They weren't prepared to do that because
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: again they are terrible with buddy. Yeah, it's had to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: sell their homes and get the f out, But I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: am not sure.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Now regarding mackelt, angel I agree.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Like you know, in life, there's some people that have
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the mapping and then there's some people that don't. Now,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: if you have the mapping, and I'm talking about your
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: brain specifically, like you got all the ridges and everything, Oh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: if you don't got a brain that's completely wired. Yeah
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it's not smooth, it's completely wired. Like you have you
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: always have the capacity for great intelligence. And if you
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: get an education and you have like all these varied
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: life experiences, you end up being so freaking smart.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: But then you have people.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Who don't have the mapping, Like they don't have the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: capacity they can only ever go so bad. You are
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: so mean, But they can only ever go so high
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in terms of their intellect. It's not like they can't
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: go to college, of course they can't. It's not like
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: they can't have buried life experiences.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Of course they do.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: They just don't process those things with like that extra brain. Yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and so I think with somebody like McKelty, God bless her,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I think she's doing the best with the mapping that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: She has, brain that she has.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But is it the same.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Mapping that say you have?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: The answer is no, is it the same mapping that.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: I mean?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I think, I just don't think.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think she was born to be like a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: rocket scientist, That's all I'm saying. And you don't have
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to be a rocket scientist, ye know. Yeah, okay, justice
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: for like McKelty.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: But she wasn't going to school for a rocket science.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: She's going to school for fashion. Fashion. You don't need
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: to be like super smart for that make clothes.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So anyway, no, yet, Like she's not brilliant, but you don't,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: like most of us aren't brilliant, you know, most of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: us are brilliant, Like a lot of us aren't brilliant
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and that's okay. We create space and we can't witness that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: That sure perfectly fine.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Right, What was the first thing Mary with the baby
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: story and she was just using that for attention from Cody?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Well, what are your thoughts about that?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, I agree, I think that's totally what it was.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I think I said last week, like, I think it
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: was just all a ploy because this might have been
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: like symbolic for their intimate life. Like maybe Cody was like, yeah,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: so we're just not gonna have another baby, which means also,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I'm never gonna touch you again. I'm never gonna give
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: you my noodle ever again, because there's no point because
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: it's never gonna happen. So I could see how maybe
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Mary was keeping him on the hook for the attention,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: for the physical attention, because that's what she wants, you know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: even though in this week's episode she's talking about how
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: liberating it is to not have to sleep with Cody
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: every night.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Mm mmm, she wishes, she does wish.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I definitely think she's dangling carrots, and I think it's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: probably the last thing that she can offer that would
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: interest him other than her money, right, which I think
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: she is going to an offer when she gets.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Into Lularoe and whatnot. But we're not there yet, and.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: So this was like her last thing that she could
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: maybe have. But you're right, You're one hundred percent right.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Like when it was first brought up, like I think
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: season one during their anniversary when they went to Mexico
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and the restaurant everything, She's like, I don't.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Want to, No, I'm old, I'm too old.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want to, right, But now she wants to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: because there's nothing else left in the relationship that right
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: tie him to her.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Well, and maybe that's because she thinks that she'll get
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: attention from him because she'll have a baby, but it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: not gonna happen because Cody's already over. Yeah, so thank
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: you for your message, Angel very much. Next one we
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: have is from Beatrice's Biggas fan. Really, I think it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the same chick from last night. Oh it felt bad
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: because I was crying about it last time. So it's.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: Hello ladies, my nay miss ash. I'm calling from a
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: dumpster down in southern California. Before I dive into my thoughts,
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: I want to say thank you to you both. You
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: keep me very entertained on my boring commute, and you
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: help keep my sanity intact. So thank you for that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Okay, let's get into it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: So my thoughts around the show.
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: You know, the Sister Wives, we.
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: All know that like these couch confessionals and these episodes
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: can be so drawn out and so boring, yet we
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: are all still so freakin' hooked. We can't turn it
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: off even with these boring moments. And I think the
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: reason for that is that the chaos and family dynamics
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: and crumbling of dynamics feel sincere as opposed to when
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: you watch other reality TV shows. You know you can tell,
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: I mean, they're still fun, but you can tell that
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: they're staged. You can tell that you know, this TV
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: show is looking for couples or people that are gonna
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: intentionally blow up on the screen, or there are people
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: that want to be influencers. The fights are clearly staged.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: You know, you feel it fun still, but you feel
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: it However, with Sister Wives, like they genuinely started this
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: show to be like look at us Lati Da and
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: our amazing family, thinking that they were going to be
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: preaching their way of life and each other, and then
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: it just organically exposed itself. They exposed who they were
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: on television, and watching that, even with boring moments, just
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: the overall story of them is captivating because you're like,
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: oh my gosh, these people are really making these terrible decisions.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: Cody really is a douchebag, and you know, we're really
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: happy for Christina Janelle to finally get out and Mary.
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: I can be happy for Mary, but I don't like her.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: But yeah, anyways, that's my thoughts as to why we're
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: still watching.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Have a good day, Thank you, Ash. I know, well,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: what do you think?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I agree one hundred percent. I think that Sister Wives
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: is a pretty, I don't want to say relatable show,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: but it is kind of relatable because these are real
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: people making really dumb decisions, and at least for me.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Like when I first started watching this show when I
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: was the ripe old age of twelve with my mom,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: like her and I used to gush about our theories
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: about the show, and like our theories were right, Like
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: we used to talk so much crap about these wives
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: and Cody.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: On the show.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Like my mom totally called Cody for what he was
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: at the very very beginning, and I was like no,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: like maybe he's a nice guy, like he seems like
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: he loves his wives, he seems like he's sincere, and
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: then now here we are in season nineteen and he's
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: demon possessed and he's awful and so like it's just
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: interesting to watch it from like the beginning, and people
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: like started to see like oh wow, like these are
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: real people. They're making really dumb decisions. Like it is
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: interesting as opposed to other shows that have become wildly
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: produced kind of like ninety Day Fiance.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Unfortunately.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I mean it's still fun, like she said, like it's
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: still fun shows, but it's so produced, like it's it's
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: probably not real storylines. Everybody's just there to promote their
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: only fans, Like it's not like it's not real, you know, right, right,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: So I agree.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and like you, I think you're seeing that with
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: a franchise, for example, like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: which I think sort of started out really really fun
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and like we're going to get something new, but then
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it just became this overly produced show where everybody's just
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: trying to hide what's actually really happening in their lives.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And it's like I'm bored.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Why would I be sticking around for this And a
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: lot of people actually didn't, and so that show is
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: actually in trouble with Sister Wives. It's absolutely about the subtext. Yeah,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the pill context, it's about the monocle. It's about us
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: like looking into the deeper layers to try and figure
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: out what's really going on. And that's what I think
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: makes it so compelling. It's because it's hard to manage
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: five adults. Of course, it'd be one thing if it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: just your marriage on a reality show, and like you
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: guys are trying to hide stuff or just show very
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: selective parts of your life and your experience. But like
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: when you've got five adults, four of them are women, like,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and they've got feelings and they have needs, and then
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you've got this dumb lummix of a guy like trying
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to manage that. Like, it's going to be very difficult
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to hide these very important aspects and parts. And so
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: that is I think what makes it so interesting. Oh totally,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you know, but it's still wide open for critique, Like
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like you could be I feel like they're
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: still over producing a lot of this, like by allowing
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the cast members to film themselves on their dumb iPhones or.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Whatever, like what do you what are we doing?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Like you guys have had you have the budget, you
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: can get a film crew. You can go follow them around.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: You can talk about things that I think are much
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: more interesting than what you're currently talking about. We don't
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: care about the storage unit where people leave their things behind.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: We don't really care about the titty tattoo, right, and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: we want to get into these deeper conversations. I think
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you could produce a much better show. But for those
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: of us who are still here, yeah, okay, season nineteen.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: For those of us that are still watching, yeah, we're
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: not gonna stop watching. Oh we are going to be
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: here till the bitter end with our monicles.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Definitely one percent. And to your point about like it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: five adults versus just a marriage. But even then, like
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: John and eight plus Kate was also like just those two,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I mean they had eight thousand children, which is hard
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: to manage. It's totally good to manage.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: They should give you.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: A temper problem, and there's gonna be a lot of
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: different things happening.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: But like we talked about that, because we've covered a
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: couple seasons of it on our Patreon, by the way,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: which you should go join. How popular that show was.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: It wasn't about the eight kids. Nobody cared about the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: eight kids. It was about the dynamic between John and
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: eight because she was such an awful evil person and
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: her marriage was crumbling, and every now.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And then she'd snap at him, or she yell, or
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: he'd be defensive. Right, it would just like, Okay, well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: what's really going on over there?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: And that's what made it good.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And they would produce themselves too, and like a lot
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: of those episodes are so boring.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Boring, we had to take a break. I'm like, I
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: can't do it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sleeping, God.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Like I don't care about going to the Hershey Amusement Park,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Like it's so stupid very much. So just show me
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: your marriage between John and like falling apart. Yeah, that's
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: what I want to see. I think that's totally why
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: people watch these kinds of shows, even Plaithfill. Yes, it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: kind of a boring show.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Kind of I mean, but I'm I'm objectedly invested.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: But it is really good and there is a lot
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: of that subtext, especially with Kim and her big old booty.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, big old duy Booty just out there
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: on the roads with her car, just flipping.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Her car with her big old boot and just cheating
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: on her husband.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Like boot Barry, he's a robot.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: And then with all the stuff on social media that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Comes out, it's like very very very compelling.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I want more of these, like quote quote boring
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: reality shows because I do think they're more authentic than
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: some of the other, like heavily produced ones, because I
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: just kind of lose interest after a while.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, me too.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Well, there's that show, The seven Little I think Johnston's,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, which I think is supposed to be really
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: really good because the mother is a complete like monster
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: what yeah, and she plays favorites with her children and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: like there's this one child of hers who's like super accomplished,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: gone to college and is always seeking her approval, but
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: she's constantly just beating her dad. It's like, I think
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: that is one of those shows that we might want
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to get into. Yeah, seven Little Johnston's. But those are
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the types of shows, yeah, that I'm interested in. Like,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I'm so over like corporate reality TV.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I'm so show me.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Actual, real families that are falling apart. They're all day.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I'm They're all day.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So thanks Ash, Thank you Ash. Right, next one
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: we have is from Lisa.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Lisa.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, Hi, B and D.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: This is Lisa from a dumpster in Detroit. So I'm
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: watching your rewind episode of Sister Wives, Season six, episode eight,
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: and Dehlia, you are talking about the vibe between Robin
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: and Logan, and oh my god, Okay, I so get it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: I so see it because there was an episode where
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: Robin and Logan were sitting together on the couch and
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: don't you know, don't you know that both of them
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: had huge honk and cold source. So like, out of
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: twenty one people, those two were the only two with
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: cold source. They don't live in the same house, you know,
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: they don't share anything, but out of twenty one people,
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: those were the only two with big honk and cold
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: soores at the same time. And they're always laughy and
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: giggley together. Yeah, yeah, I totally get it. I totally
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: see it. Am I trying to throw a trash around
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: this dumpster? Yes I am, Yes, I am, because I
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: see it. I do, I see it. She was being
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: flirtatious with her big honkin cold sore. Now, lots of
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: people get cold sores, that's not a big deal, but
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: for the both of them to have them at the
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: same time, hmm, what do you think? Love you guys?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that is nasty.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: These are our people, I know, these are our people people.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I love it, but that is so nasty. I don't
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: know what episode that is. I don't know either or
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: like disturbed.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I feel personally validated because I've just pick it up. Yeah, Robin,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I think I've been throwing that. Yeah, like she's feel
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: like leaning into Logan. But to be fair, yeah, Janelle's
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: got her some cold or all got cold. Christine and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Mary have had cold sores, And if Logan's mama had
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a cold sore and they're living in the same house,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: it is very likely that everybody's got cold sores or
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: everybody's got some sort of her piece simplex going on.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: But I do like the theory me too.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: It's a working theory that I can.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Work with well. And Logan's like of college agent at
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: this point, I'm sure. So maybe he's fucking unscrewing I
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: hope so for his sae. Yeah, so maybe he got
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: a cold saw from some other lady, but maybe girl.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine a world dark where Logan is sneaking
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: across the could de Sac. It's like two am right,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: it's a Tuesday evening.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Cody's over there, Christine's just hating his life, but.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Logan's and Logan's like, let me just tiptoe through the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: tulips all the way over to Robin's.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I would die that, Robin, I'm here, I'm outside.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: My gosh, she opens the door.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: She's wearing her Mormon pajama to Mormon underwear pajamas.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: It's about to go down.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: This is why Logan doesn't talk.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: No, And I don't think it's I never got this
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: sense that it was on the part of Logan. I
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: always felt it more Robin. The vibe is more from Robin,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: because she has to be the most pretty, she has
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to be the most attractive.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I just felt like she was the
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: one leaning into well and Logan's the oldest, and he's handsome, muscles,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: he's got the muscles, college educated, yeah, young man muscles.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: So I'm sure she's like looking at him like, oh yeah,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: compared to Cody. I was sorry his hair, especially in
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: the earlier season.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Did you see in this.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Last episode that we covered season six, episodes nine.
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: I mean, just like a whole swath, like just bald
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: pate landscape growing on it at all looks like Christine's
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: backyard when she moved into the Couldest Stag.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: It's just like moonscape skin.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine that thrusting into you every night?
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I cannot so. If I'm Robin and this man has
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: like a Twitter two, you will right like.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: You'd be thinking about it.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: And I'm only thirty two and I know how to
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: break down, right. Okay, have you seen me a Diesel Share? Yeah,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I'm all over it exactly. I'm so rotten. Oh my god,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to sisters.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Like the most disgusting, delicious trash. Yeah, we love so
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: thank you Lisa for that theory, and let us know
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: your other theories below.
• 29:27
