  What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done.
• 0:13
  Goodbye. You.
• 0:16
  Shut it off. Do not twist my words.
• 0:19
  Do not. Make me a victim, sweetie.
• 0:21
  Just look at the mountain. That's what you saw.
• 0:24
  That day. Just the knife in the kidneys.
• 0:27
  Over all these years and the sacrifices that I made to love
• 0:32
  you. What happens in Vegas stays in
• 0:50
  Vegas, does it? Even if it's the most boring
• 0:53
  shit you've ever seen in your entire life.
• 0:56
  A polygamist version of The Hangover, which means there's
• 1:03
  only very mild drinking by one person, no one is hungover at
• 1:07
  all, and the most excitement we're going to have is Meri's
• 1:11
  hair again. Again.
• 1:13
  As per usual. Yes, as we always get to
• 1:16
  experience. Oh boy.
• 1:18
  Meri's hair Welcome back listeners to my Sister Wives
• 1:22
  podcast Season 4 episode 7, Brown Boys do Vegas.
• 1:27
  I don't know you can say about that.
• 1:30
  Do they do Vegas? Do you have anything clever?
• 1:33
  Because I don't have anything clever.
• 1:34
  I already shot my, already blew my load, shot my, whatever.
• 1:38
  They do Vegas. Oh boy.
• 1:41
  I wouldn't go as far to say they do Vegas.
• 1:45
  Right, they're in Vegas. Yeah, it's pretty like want
• 1:50
  wall. Yeah, misleading title.
• 1:52
  Yeah. Thank you, TLC, for once again
• 1:55
  not living up to your promises. We opened the episode at Meri's
• 2:00
  house, though. Meri, Meri, quite contrary.
• 2:02
  How does your house grow? And Kody says that his brothers
• 2:06
  are coming into town. Oh, we're so excited to have
• 2:09
  Kody's brothers in town. Meeting the brothers.
• 2:12
  We've got Scott and Curtis are coming first.
• 2:16
  Kody is dusting off his motorcycle jacket.
• 2:20
  He says look how dusty this is. And he's literally dusting his
• 2:23
  jacket off. Being dramatic, probably.
• 2:26
  Was there dust on it? Perhaps.
• 2:29
  He's such a wild hog, you know? Yeah, I mean, it was at Meri's
• 2:32
  house. If the jacket was truly at
• 2:34
  Meri's house, I don't believe it really had dust on it.
• 2:38
  But that's just. Meri puts it on every night and
• 2:41
  she's like, I can smell Kody in this.
• 2:44
  She sleeps in it. Oh yeah, We learned that Scott,
• 2:49
  Michael and Curtis are coming to town.
• 2:52
  There are 5 brown boys including Kody and Scott and Curtis are
• 3:00
  coming first. They currently live in Wyoming
• 3:03
  and Michael lives in Utah. He's going to be coming a bit
• 3:07
  later on in the episode. And we'll also be joined by
• 3:10
  Curtis's wife. Yes, Curtis's wife.
• 3:14
  We get to meet a sister-in-law. Janelle says that they used to
• 3:18
  see them more when they lived in Utah, but of course, since
• 3:21
  they're moved to Vegas, they see them less often.
• 3:24
  You know, yeah, whatever. Of course, I mean, yeah, it's
• 3:27
  kind of what happens when you when you move away from people.
• 3:31
  But even with Scott and Curtis living in Wyoming, I can't
• 3:34
  believe that they would see him super often.
• 3:37
  I mean, maybe Michael since he was in Utah as well, but she
• 3:41
  makes it seem like this huge loss in their life.
• 3:43
  They haven't seen him in forever.
• 3:45
  They tell us that Curtis is 7 years younger than Kody. 11
• 3:49
  years younger. Oh, eleven years younger than
• 3:51
  code? Oh my goodness, 711 messing it
• 3:55
  all up. Well I tried to push out my
• 3:58
  first born on 711 so I thought it'd be pretty cool so.
• 4:02
  And then did you fail at that? I did fail.
• 4:04
  At that epic failure. Yep, Curtis Codis.
• 4:09
  CODIS. Codis Curtis is 11 years younger
• 4:12
  than Kody. When Curtis gets his first
• 4:16
  spotlight moment when he's talking to the camera, he
• 4:19
  references how Kody taught him many things, including cow
• 4:22
  tipping, and he says that's what you do in Wyoming.
• 4:26
  Yeah, he says that Kody was a bit of a hero to him.
• 4:30
  Oh yeah, Hero A. Bit of a hero to him.
• 4:33
  Well, that makes one person. Right.
• 4:35
  I mean, and his younger children, I suppose, still
• 4:39
  aren't disillusioned by the Kody of it all.
• 4:43
  They go a little bit into like each story of the brothers and
• 4:48
  they talk about how Scott is a polygamist with two wives and 16
• 4:53
  kids. Yeah, 16 Oh.
• 4:56
  Mylanta. Yeah, Scott is Kody's oldest
• 5:00
  brother. And it's obvious.
• 5:02
  It's pretty obvious. Yes, he literally looks like
• 5:07
  he's old enough to be Kody's dad.
• 5:08
  Yeah, now it's not like Kody looks super young, but Scott
• 5:13
  looks really old. I mean, he's wearing aviator
• 5:16
  glasses that are probably from the 70s and nowadays.
• 5:22
  That would be like cool and in and hip, right?
• 5:25
  It would be on purpose. You'd be doing that at the time
• 5:28
  that this was shot. Probably not a fashion choice
• 5:34
  and probably a Brown family member at all.
• 5:37
  Not a fashion choice, but it was aging him immensely.
• 5:42
  The glasses choice of it all. So Kody rented motorcycles for
• 5:49
  them all to ride. They're going to go on this big
• 5:51
  old ride together because Curtis is a biker type of guy,
• 5:55
  according to Kody. Biker type of guy.
• 5:58
  And Curtis is also a monogamist. I mean, this is we see a little
• 6:03
  clip of him and his wife on that couch moment where he's talking
• 6:06
  about Kody being his hero, but they don't really come out and
• 6:09
  say it right away. And then we get the bombshell
• 6:14
  that Curtis is a monogamist. Yes.
• 6:17
  And him and Erica are of a different faith now.
• 6:22
  Yes, Curtis does not believe in polygamy and he does not believe
• 6:26
  in the Book of Mormon. So OK, Curtis has decided not to
• 6:33
  believe in one fairy tale and he has one wife, so.
• 6:37
  He still has a sky friend, so friend living in the sky.
• 6:40
  He does have a Sky friend, I do appreciate that.
• 6:43
  Yep. So then they show at least the
• 6:46
  boys going out and getting on the motorcycles.
• 6:48
  Were the wives with them like, kind of being like, oh, like, I
• 6:51
  think they, like all of the adults, might have gone outside?
• 6:53
  Yeah, And the guys are just like yucking it up together, being
• 6:58
  like, oh, we're doing this manly thing.
• 7:00
  Like Kody is just like trying to be sexy and whatever.
• 7:04
  And yeah. Yeah, Kody says that they're
• 7:07
  going to ride to a biker bar, which is the oldest bar in
• 7:11
  Vegas. Oldest bar in Vegas?
• 7:13
  Yeah, that's interesting to me. And now I noticed that Kody is
• 7:17
  sitting bitch behind Scott, and I was like, that's amazing
• 7:21
  because there's only two bikes, so Curtis is on one because
• 7:23
  obviously he's the biker of the group.
• 7:26
  And then we've got Scott driving.
• 7:29
  Is it driving? Yeah, driving.
• 7:31
  Driving one of them. And Kody's sitting bitch, which
• 7:34
  I just love. I love that for Kody.
• 7:37
  It's interesting too, because they're not drinkers, right?
• 7:41
  So Scott and Kody are supposedly the Mormons that are still
• 7:48
  pretty religious. So they are not drinkers, right?
• 7:53
  And they're riding a bike together.
• 7:55
  And then you've got Curtis riding his own bike, which we'll
• 8:01
  get to this in a little bit, but I'm just want to point that out
• 8:04
  now that it's odd that the coupling is happening here in my
• 8:09
  mind. I don't know.
• 8:11
  Well, and Curtis is the leader of a bike gang, so he's quite
• 8:14
  familiar with the streets. Yeah.
• 8:16
  And how to, what is that called when they do?
• 8:19
  Like how to avoid Rd. Rash?
• 8:20
  He knows how to like dive and tuck if there's a collision or a
• 8:24
  rollover. A dive and tuck.
• 8:26
  Listen to these words. I don't think they are true or
• 8:29
  like. I don't, I don't think I've ever
• 8:31
  heard this dip. And I mean, I don't know, I used
• 8:34
  to back in my day, back in my day, pull a chair up garden.
• 8:39
  Just going to tell you something.
• 8:41
  I did date somebody that was part of a biker group.
• 8:46
  You were a leather lady. Oh, and I don't think I've ever
• 8:51
  heard those terms. I'm so sorry to forget to you.
• 8:54
  Yeah, I love how I'm just like calling them.
• 8:56
  I'm like, you know, when you fall off the bike.
• 8:58
  Rd. Rash is real, definitely.
• 9:00
  You said that with your whole chest though.
• 9:02
  Like, let's be honest here, you said with your whole chest those
• 9:04
  terms like you truly believed it.
• 9:06
  Rd. rash is a thing. You are not wrong there.
• 9:08
  Yeah, but dipping and tucking, no, you're going to have to like
• 9:12
  roll that. Back, stop, drop and roll.
• 9:15
  Which I also thought from a young age we were going to have
• 9:17
  to do way more often than I've ever had to do.
• 9:19
  But. Absolutely.
• 9:20
  Absolutely. Yeah.
• 9:22
  Very few stop dropping rolls in my life, that's for sure.
• 9:25
  I mean, maybe if I wanted to like look a little nuts to get
• 9:28
  someone away from me a stop dropping roll would work, but I
• 9:31
  don't think in any other context I've ever actually done it.
• 9:33
  Well, we could light you on fire and see if it works.
• 9:35
  I mean, sure, yeah, I'm game. Let me just pull my hair up
• 9:40
  first so that my Hairspray doesn't like turn me into like
• 9:43
  an ignited troll. Join us on Patreon, where you
• 9:46
  can see me lighting Kimber on fire.
• 9:48
  OK. And me, you tasing you.
• 9:51
  Yeah, and you tasing me? Jackass style.
• 9:54
  Wow. Wow.
• 9:55
  The wives are going to drag Erica out into public because,
• 9:58
  duh, the boys are going to a biker bar.
• 10:01
  So the ladies have to show Erica a good time in Vegas, too.
• 10:06
  Yeah. And they go to what was the name
• 10:09
  of the business? Did you drop that down?
• 10:11
  I. Did the artful Potter?
• 10:14
  Oh, the artful poterer. To the Artful Potter.
• 10:18
  Oh wow, that's not exactly something that rolls off the
• 10:22
  tongue. Artful poterer.
• 10:25
  No, just Potter. Oh, just Potter, Potter.
• 10:28
  Oh, the like Harry Potter, the artful Potter.
• 10:31
  The Artful Potter. OH.
• 10:33
  Yeah, they're going to paint some pottery pieces.
• 10:37
  Do you think they're going to glaze them and then put them in
• 10:39
  the kiln? Yeah, which is an odd choice
• 10:42
  because usually, and I say this as someone who's a crafty
• 10:45
  motherfucker and has done this before, have you ever been to a
• 10:48
  pottery place before? Well, no, but I've I've made
• 10:51
  pottery when I was a kid in elementary school.
• 10:54
  I, as a grown ass adult, I've gone to a store like the Artful
• 10:58
  Potter and done something of this sort with girlfriends and
• 11:05
  they have to glaze the item, right?
• 11:08
  So you paint it, they put it in the kiln, and you come back a
• 11:11
  different day to pick it up. Yeah, so they take their
• 11:14
  sister-in-law who's from out of town on this fucking crafting
• 11:17
  adventure, and who knows if she even got her shit back from
• 11:21
  them. I don't know.
• 11:22
  Right, we don't know how many days she stayed.
• 11:24
  Yeah, we don't. And I am familiar with that.
• 11:26
  We're like, yeah, they have to put it in the like you have to
• 11:29
  fire them or whatever. It's usually an overnight
• 11:32
  process. Yeah, I don't.
• 11:33
  Know some manner I don't know. I haven't been to the Harry
• 11:36
  Potter, I mean the artsy poterer, but I wonder if that
• 11:42
  business is still around a lot of the brown businesses that
• 11:45
  they visit, not well, the ones they start and the ones they, I
• 11:49
  was going to say visit, but patron, patronize, patronize,
• 11:56
  patronize. No, that's not it.
• 11:59
  That's not it. Businesses that they frequent,
• 12:04
  that they go to, that they film, Wow.
• 12:07
  My vocabulary is I'm on the struggle bus, so.
• 12:11
  Bad. I don't even know.
• 12:12
  Yeah, they patronize. They patronage.
• 12:14
  They patron. Let's just try to not even say.
• 12:16
  Let's just forget. OK.
• 12:20
  All of these businesses, all of these businesses go out of
• 12:23
  business. That's the point.
• 12:24
  If the Browns film in your business, you're going under.
• 12:27
  So don't let them film in your place of business while the
• 12:31
  women are showing Erica good old time at the Art Potter Art the
• 12:38
  Artful. Potter.
• 12:39
  Artful Potter. Scratches it down right now How?
• 12:43
  Terrible that I can't remember the tablet with this Potter
• 12:46
  stone and to the lid into my rock.
• 12:50
  Artful Potter. So while the women are showing
• 12:54
  Erica a grand old time at the Artful Potter, Meri claims to
• 12:59
  not be crafty. Which I almost fell out of my
• 13:03
  chair because that does not make any sense.
• 13:05
  Meri has a craft room. She has a craft room in her
• 13:08
  house. She has totes and totes and
• 13:11
  totes and totes. She's got a garage full of Knick
• 13:14
  knack paddywhacks. Give a dog a clutter bone.
• 13:16
  Like it's all sorts of shit. That's what her life is, is
• 13:19
  possessions and belongings that she's never going to do anything
• 13:22
  with. And then she's like, oh, I'm not
• 13:25
  crafty. Excuse me?
• 13:28
  You made that blouse out of like twine.
• 13:31
  Dog hair she weaved it out dog hair Dog hair the dog found in
• 13:35
  the. Dental floss for God's sake.
• 13:38
  Yeah, she says she's not creative.
• 13:40
  And then they show clips of her going around the entire shop
• 13:46
  looking at each piece of empty white pottery that is available
• 13:50
  to paint. And she's picking pieces up and
• 13:53
  putting them down and can't decide what she wants to do.
• 13:57
  And I think that there's a lot of women out there who think
• 14:01
  that they are crafty. And then they get in a situation
• 14:04
  like is this, and they actually have to pull something out of
• 14:07
  their own ass and they can't do it.
• 14:09
  But if they were on Pinterest, they could completely copy
• 14:12
  another person's idea, but they probably couldn't come up with
• 14:16
  the idea on their own. And it doesn't mean you're not
• 14:18
  creative. Well, it means you're not
• 14:21
  creative. It doesn't mean that you're not
• 14:23
  crafty, because if you're crafty, you can replicate
• 14:27
  something if you're creative. You're creating.
• 14:31
  You are literally coming up with the idea on your own, so I think
• 14:34
  that she's struggling to come up with a good idea on her own
• 14:38
  here. I took away from it that she's
• 14:40
  just indecisive because it was like, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh
• 14:43
  my God. Like different pieces, different
• 14:45
  colors. The women all sit down with
• 14:46
  their pieces and they're going to start painting.
• 14:49
  And Meri's the last one to sit down.
• 14:50
  And she's like, I don't know, what do you think of this color?
• 14:52
  And it's like, my God, girl, like, what do you think this
• 14:54
  pot's going to end up in the Smithsonian?
• 14:56
  Now, if we had our own clubhouse where we were interviewing
• 14:59
  people, we could ask Meri for her pottery to put behind us in
• 15:02
  the shot. And it could be like that
• 15:03
  Pottery's for Meri. That would be so wonderful.
• 15:06
  She picks like a pea green color too, by the way.
• 15:08
  And it's like, oh, I don't know if if I'm going to like this
• 15:10
  well. Yeah, and it wasn't even like
• 15:12
  olive. It was like nuclear pea green.
• 15:14
  Like what the fuck is going on here?
• 15:16
  It was like it belonged at like Chernobyl or something.
• 15:19
  I don't know. It's interesting.
• 15:21
  Yeah, definitely good for Meri's skin.
• 15:23
  Gives that nice green when the light hits her pot.
• 15:27
  When the light hits Meri's pot, it's going to reflect nuclear
• 15:31
  green onto her face. Right.
• 15:33
  Maybe it counteract a little of that orange.
• 15:35
  I don't think that's how it works.
• 15:36
  Yeah, but. When the wives are on the couch
• 15:39
  and they're discussing things, I was like, Oh my God.
• 15:45
  Kimber. Meri's hair.
• 15:48
  Meri's hair. We have had many a comment about
• 15:51
  Meri's hair, but I am telling you when I say that this was
• 15:56
  something else, like on a next level of Meri's hair, it was
• 16:01
  fucking next level. Like I've thought I had seen it
• 16:07
  all with her hair. And then I saw this.
• 16:10
  We've said it before, and it reminds me of when you're going
• 16:13
  through a car wash, the thing that's got all the things that
• 16:17
  spin around and they flail outward.
• 16:19
  It literally looked like that. It was like like off the side of
• 16:24
  her head in this sweeping large motion off each side.
• 16:29
  Multiple times it was like. Imagine a Christmas tree, but
• 16:35
  you curl the ends of the branches like with an eyelash
• 16:39
  curler. Like Doctor Seuss.
• 16:40
  Like a Doctor Seuss tree and then just put her face in the
• 16:44
  middle of it. Yeah, and that face.
• 16:47
  And she was orange as orange could be.
• 16:54
  She went all out next level for these like couch interviews in
• 17:00
  this episode. Yes, it was something else.
• 17:03
  It was like glamour shots without the glamour.
• 17:06
  I don't even know how to describe it.
• 17:08
  It's so weird. It's just shots.
• 17:11
  She got a spray tan probably done at like who knows where,
• 17:16
  but it's like she probably kept her turtleneck shirt on and got
• 17:19
  a spray tan of just her hands and her neck and her face.
• 17:22
  Oh God, and it's very apparent. See, I think Meri's fake and
• 17:25
  baking. I think she's in the machine.
• 17:27
  She's going to a tanning bed. Oh yeah, I think she's at like
• 17:30
  $3 tan. Like put on the baby oil.
• 17:34
  I'm jumping in the bulbs. Well, she's got to be using one
• 17:37
  of those lotions then that's like it has bronzer and it makes
• 17:40
  your skin tingle when it you put it on.
• 17:42
  Oh, yeah. And I'm not going to lie, I at
• 17:46
  this point in time, like when these are being shot, I am that
• 17:51
  girl. I am in the tanning bed way too
• 17:54
  often. I have the lotion.
• 17:56
  It puts the lotion on its skin and it gets in the tanning bed.
• 17:59
  Again, that was me. Maybe you and Meri have matching
• 18:02
  Playboy's Bunny sticker. Probably.
• 18:06
  Little white spots, whatever that.
• 18:07
  We did and she probably hit it and she's like, this is just for
• 18:10
  Kody. Yeah, look at me.
• 18:12
  I'm such a devious little girl. Yeah, so I don't.
• 18:16
  Yeah, you're right. She could.
• 18:17
  Because I look back at pictures of myself and I wasn't getting a
• 18:19
  spray tan and I still look orange because your girl's pasty
• 18:23
  as fuck over here. So you know.
• 18:25
  Yeah. Meri loves the tanning bed.
• 18:28
  Meri loves a curling iron. A.
• 18:32
  Or a flat iron just like flipping out on the end.
• 18:35
  Either 1. I don't know what this is, but.
• 18:38
  She loves to burn her skin and she loves to burn her hair,
• 18:41
  Yeah. We're all around just burning
• 18:43
  the fuck out of Meri. That's Meri.
• 18:45
  She's just. Burning, burning, burning,
• 18:48
  burning love. Oh, Meri, it's so savvy.
• 18:52
  And they're burning pottery in this episode.
• 18:54
  Just put her in the kiln with the pottery please.
• 18:56
  He's like, put me in the kiln, it'll save me 15 bucks next
• 19:00
  week. It will, my God, give her those
• 19:03
  little tanning glasses and put her in there overnight.
• 19:06
  Yeah, she and Kody love to have those Donald Trump eyes, you
• 19:09
  know? Oh my gosh.
• 19:11
  They go back to the table with the women painting their pottery
• 19:16
  and Erica is telling them all that she feels so blessed to
• 19:19
  have them as family. Very blessed, so blessed.
• 19:23
  Even though she was a bit apprehensive about meeting them
• 19:25
  because, you know, she thought, well, and what, they going to be
• 19:28
  drinking the kool-aid? And I was like, oh, this is
• 19:34
  Erica's first time being filmed. She was maybe a little, though
• 19:38
  it's not that she was uncomfortable.
• 19:40
  I don't know. How would we describe Erica?
• 19:42
  I think she was like, comfortable, but in a way that
• 19:46
  it's, yeah, she doesn't get the gravity of the fact that she's
• 19:50
  being filmed. She seemed comfortable in a way
• 19:53
  that was like, honey, maybe you need to and rein it in a bit,
• 19:58
  right? Maybe not be so comfortable
• 20:00
  because, yeah, the comment about when I met the family for the
• 20:04
  first time, I wasn't sure if we'd be drinking some special
• 20:07
  kool-aid. Like she said this like weird
• 20:10
  comment about drinking the kool-aid.
• 20:12
  We all know what that means. Jonestown family massacre.
• 20:15
  Not really something that you want to be referencing when
• 20:18
  you're talking about your in laws and brothers and sisters in
• 20:21
  laws. That are cult members.
• 20:23
  That are cult members. I mean, probably not the best
• 20:27
  reference that we make. Yeah, she you're right.
• 20:29
  It's like, I don't know how to describe it because it's like
• 20:32
  she's comfortable, but her being comfortable is uncomfortable.
• 20:36
  Like it was weird. It was weird, I think she's
• 20:39
  probably been used to seeing them on TV for a couple seasons
• 20:44
  now and so she feels baby. From watching the show or from
• 20:50
  watching other reality TV? That she has got this shit
• 20:54
  unlocked and it's like Nah, probably not.
• 20:58
  Well, I have to give her two enthusiastic thumbs up for her
• 21:01
  confidence. I I think that's a beautiful
• 21:03
  thing. Erica, if you're listening, I
• 21:05
  applaud your confidence. Right.
• 21:08
  Yeah, they do mention again in this portion that Erica was of a
• 21:14
  different faith and that now Curtis and her are Christian.
• 21:20
  So first it's brought up, you know, by Kody and him endorsing
• 21:25
  the fact that he lets his brother do what he wants.
• 21:27
  And now the women are bringing it up and they're going to
• 21:29
  endorse the brothers differences and the wife's differences.
• 21:33
  And so they make a point to bring it up again here, but in
• 21:39
  the context of the women's group.
• 21:42
  They're very open minded. They're totally OK with their
• 21:45
  brother and sister-in-law being Christian.
• 21:50
  Yeah, like, OK, whatever. As long as you're worshipping a
• 21:52
  sky friend, right? Like as long as you're strong in
• 21:55
  your convictions, God bless. God bless.
• 22:02
  The brothers arrive at the biker bar they were going to called
• 22:05
  the Pioneer Saloon. Now that one I can actually say
• 22:11
  and comprehend. I'm like the Kiln Store, like my
• 22:15
  God, just because. You relate so much more to the
• 22:19
  men. Be honest.
• 22:20
  Well, this is it. I'm raging testosterone filled
• 22:23
  bull. I'm a beast of a man and I also
• 22:27
  am an alcoholic. So, you know, the Pioneer Saloon
• 22:30
  totally works for me. While they're there, Curtis gets
• 22:33
  up to get them drinks and he's like, you know, what can I get
• 22:35
  you? And Kody's like a water and they
• 22:38
  don't even show him asking Scott.
• 22:41
  But then when Curtis gets up to the bar, the bar the bar keep
• 22:44
  comes up the bartender and he's like what can I get you?
• 22:47
  And he's like 2 ice waters and. He Yeah.
• 22:50
  Ice waters 2 Ice waters. 2 ice waters.
• 22:53
  And they don't tell us what he orders.
• 22:55
  No, they cut it off before they say what he orders.
• 22:58
  Totally. So there's like, they do a weird
• 23:00
  edit game where they don't show him ordering his drink.
• 23:04
  Instead they make it seem like he's getting 2 waters and the
• 23:06
  bartender's like, yeah, sure, like whatever.
• 23:09
  Well, he got a beer. He did get a beer or something.
• 23:12
  Yeah, some kind of beer. They're talking about how Scott
• 23:16
  is so uncomfortable, like Scott is uncomfortable.
• 23:19
  Scott is a rule follower. We shouldn't even be in a bar
• 23:22
  right now. We're patronizing a place that
• 23:25
  stop. We are in a place that serves
• 23:29
  alcohol and we probably shouldn't even be here.
• 23:31
  And Scott is so uncomfortable. Yeah, Scott is breathing in the
• 23:34
  Sins through his nose. It's terrible.
• 23:38
  He's not drinking the Sins because he's got a nice
• 23:39
  refreshing ice water at the Oldest Bride, the Pioneer Saloon
• 23:42
  in Vegas. Right.
• 23:44
  Boy, once again, like we are on the town, this is Vegas.
• 23:48
  This is how you do Vegas. Well this is what makes me
• 23:52
  wonder why Kody's riding bitch with Scott because Curtis is
• 23:58
  having a drink. A drink.
• 24:01
  So why wouldn't Curtis be riding bitch with one of the non
• 24:06
  drinkers? Maybe that's what happens when
• 24:08
  they leave the bar. Honey, we don't know that.
• 24:10
  OK. Curtis was not drunk when they
• 24:13
  left the house. No, I'm just saying.
• 24:16
  But who knows how drunk he was when they left Pioneer Saloon
• 24:20
  because he's there with his weirdo narcissist showboat
• 24:24
  brother and then his like grandpa slash brother who's like
• 24:28
  we shouldn't even be here. I'm a very repressed man.
• 24:32
  Yeah, he has this look on his face and this like tightness to
• 24:37
  his body throughout this whole episode.
• 24:39
  I would say like, something might just be like up his butt.
• 24:44
  I don't. Know not in the good way.
• 24:46
  No, he's got this. I don't even know how to explain
• 24:51
  it. Like he has this like tightness
• 24:52
  about him where you can tell that he just isn't really
• 24:58
  comfortable, right? But it's more than that.
• 25:01
  I would say. It's almost like this
• 25:03
  expectation that he has to be a certain way.
• 25:06
  And so he's putting on this like stoic front because he doesn't
• 25:10
  want to do the wrong thing. And Kody does mention that, you
• 25:16
  know, he's the good one of the bunch.
• 25:19
  He's the one that's always been the rule follower and that Kody
• 25:22
  is kind of looked up to as well as like, these are what the
• 25:26
  beliefs should be. And you can tell in his body
• 25:30
  language 1000%. When the wives joke with Kody
• 25:33
  that he doesn't even know what the word rules means because
• 25:38
  like, Kody's not the rule follower.
• 25:39
  Yeah, Scott does have this. It's like a combination of
• 25:43
  oldest child, oldest boy being raised on a ranch by an asshole,
• 25:53
  strict, probably borderline abusive, disciplinarian father.
• 25:57
  For sure. So we put all that together with
• 26:00
  a life of sobriety and my God. Yeah.
• 26:03
  So Scott definitely looks like the kind of guy you're not going
• 26:06
  to ask to go out for a fun time in Vegas, let's put it that way.
• 26:09
  Like, Oh my God. Well, and Kody says too that
• 26:11
  Scott is the one that he wanted to get approval from before
• 26:15
  going public with the show. So the fact that Kody is looking
• 26:20
  to Scott for approval, Scott has to put on this front, even in
• 26:24
  front of his own brothers, probably right as the head of
• 26:28
  the family if anything were to happen to the father.
• 26:32
  Yeah, I don't know. Well, and it's like we met
• 26:35
  Kody's Kody said. Kody's other brother up at the
• 26:38
  ranch in season 2. We meet an uncle and I think
• 26:43
  it's Kody's brother, another brother who's the ranch hand.
• 26:47
  So that was the other brother that we don't meet in the OR
• 26:49
  that's not in this episode, But and he was more like a jokester,
• 26:54
  kind of like he was. He struck me as a little bit
• 26:58
  more of a thinking man. Like he had put together new
• 27:00
  policies and procedures and like operations for how they were
• 27:03
  going to run the ranch. But then he was also like joking
• 27:06
  with the kids. So his older brother Scott, the
• 27:10
  oldest, I don't know that they really tell us what he does.
• 27:14
  No, they don't tell us much about him.
• 27:17
  He's just kind of this stoic figure that is the strictest of
• 27:22
  the strict of the kids still or something.
• 27:25
  This is where they circle back to how he has two wives.
• 27:29
  They live in two different homes but next to each other.
• 27:33
  And this is hot off the heels of Kody trying to catch up his
• 27:36
  brothers on how they're trying to qualify for these four homes
• 27:39
  and that they're running into issues with that.
• 27:41
  Yeah, Curtis is like what's going on with the house building
• 27:44
  that's supposed to be happening? Like he's been talking all this
• 27:47
  shit to his family, talking all this shit to his kids for how
• 27:52
  long now? And his brother is like, what's
• 27:54
  going on with those houses? Yeah.
• 27:57
  And I have to say here as well that this is when I notice how
• 28:02
  lumpy Scotts head is and we can just move on from there.
• 28:06
  Scotts head is lumpy. Yeah.
• 28:09
  Oh, Scott Porsche. Falling off one too many a
• 28:11
  horse, perhaps? Who knows?
• 28:13
  Yeah. Just saying.
• 28:14
  Scotts had a rough life. He just has to be responsible
• 28:18
  for everything all the time. Those lumps on your head don't
• 28:21
  form because of no responsibility.
• 28:24
  Looking at the three of them sitting here in this scene, I
• 28:28
  was thinking how Curtis just looks a lot better than them.
• 28:33
  And I know there's an age difference, obviously, but his
• 28:37
  like, teeth and everything are like nice and white and he,
• 28:40
  like, just looks more put together and he just looks
• 28:45
  healthier, if that makes sense, looking at the three of them.
• 28:49
  And yeah, like, part of that could be age, but also part of
• 28:53
  it could be you're spreading yourself too thin and you have
• 28:57
  more wives than you can handle and children, perhaps.
• 29:00
  I don't know. You know what they say, one wife
• 29:02
  will kill you, 2 wives will kill you early.
• 29:08
  Oh, except for wives always outlive their husbands for the
• 29:11
  for the most part. Well, this is what I'm saying
• 29:13
  if. You, if you have one wife,
• 29:14
  you're going to die for sure. Just like we're all going to
• 29:17
  die, but you're really going to die.
• 29:19
  And I mean speak for yourself. Then if you have two wives, my
• 29:21
  God, you're going to die. Three wives, you're going to
• 29:24
  die. You'll get lumps on your head.
• 29:28
  Your teeth will be nasty. It's going to be very
• 29:30
  interesting. It's going to be very
• 29:31
  interesting. So later that night, Michael
• 29:35
  shows up, everyone's super excited to see him, they run up
• 29:39
  to him and it's this huge deal that Michael is there.
• 29:43
  And they say that Michael is 19 years younger than Kody.
• 29:48
  Oh, the youngest. That's a lot.
• 29:51
  The youngest brown boy, the. Youngest of the brown boys.
• 29:54
  Yes, we later find out that he's 24 years old.
• 29:57
  Yeah, he's only 24. Michael is in the faith but
• 30:00
  currently monogamous and I thought maybe he was still
• 30:04
  dating or something. And then I see a wedding ring on
• 30:07
  his finger. So he is married and still
• 30:10
  monogamous, potentially looking. And they make a joke about him
• 30:15
  finding a wife on this trip and Hardy har har.
• 30:19
  Apparently this is a big joke that polygamists make a lot
• 30:24
  about finding another wife and cringe.
• 30:27
  They got to get in their plig jokes.
• 30:29
  They do. Plig plig, they do.
• 30:31
  And I looked at you and I said he's actually really cute with
• 30:33
  his hat on. Well, this is it.
• 30:35
  So to we wear you were like, oh, he's really cute.
• 30:38
  I was like, yeah, no, he totally is.
• 30:40
  And then the next thing we see is him without his hat on.
• 30:43
  And it was like, oh. And I was like, oh, with his hat
• 30:46
  on? His hat on.
• 30:46
  Yeah, Backtrack. Yeah, cuz I, you know, in the
• 30:49
  face he does look if he looks 24, but he looks he's cute with
• 30:57
  a hat on. With a hat on.
• 30:59
  And it's not even about the hair.
• 31:00
  It's not even about the hair, right?
• 31:03
  It was just like, yeah, not about the lack of hair, but
• 31:06
  there was something when he took his hat off and like his head
• 31:09
  shape was like different and it totally changed the way that he
• 31:12
  looked. And they don't make it really
• 31:14
  clear at first that he is married.
• 31:16
  They don't. Know one woman like they're they
• 31:19
  don't tell us that detail. So when he starts joking about
• 31:21
  finding another wife, it's like, oh, you're married.
• 31:24
  Like oh, OK. Yeah, and they show him.
• 31:25
  I don't know if it was like they show him like petting one of the
• 31:28
  children or something, but he's like bending down and like his
• 31:30
  hand is out. And then I noticed the ring on
• 31:33
  his finger and I'm like, oh, OK. Was it as big and beautiful as
• 31:38
  Janelle's jewelry? Her elephant ring.
• 31:40
  Not as gorgeous as the Elephante ring.
• 31:44
  Gorgeous, darling, gorgeous. At this point, we're blessed
• 31:47
  with a commercial break. Thank you, TLC for paying
• 31:49
  everyone's bills. And then when we come back, the
• 31:52
  wives are talking about encouraging Kody to do boys
• 31:55
  nights when the opportunities arrive because he just needs to
• 31:58
  get out with the boys. And we always say go, go, go.
• 32:03
  I'm like, how often does this happen?
• 32:05
  Probably it only happens like once a year.
• 32:06
  Yeah. So they're like seriously, get
• 32:08
  the fuck out of the house. Did you notice that they are all
• 32:11
  wearing that like bright royal blue except for Robyn?
• 32:15
  Robyn. And she's wearing like this
• 32:17
  bright magenta maroon color and she is sitting on the like left
• 32:22
  side. And then it's all the other
• 32:24
  wives and they're all wearing the exact same color except for
• 32:28
  her. And I notice it at this point.
• 32:30
  They had to have coordinated that.
• 32:33
  And do you think so? I feel like they had to have
• 32:37
  because it was like the exact same right?
• 32:40
  See, I don't, I don't remember the colors.
• 32:43
  It was the. I just, I remember what Robyn
• 32:44
  was wearing because it distracted me because she's I
• 32:46
  was wearing like a purple or a magenta or something that's
• 32:49
  like. It was magenta and they were all
• 32:51
  wearing like that, bright blue. It was odd to me because to me
• 32:56
  it was either like they all coordinated and spoke and she
• 33:00
  didn't, or she needs to other herself and be the pick me girl
• 33:05
  and like oh I'm sorry. She probably showed up to the
• 33:08
  interview and they had all agreed to wear that color and
• 33:10
  she showed up and she goes, Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
• 33:12
  I just didn't have that color. I just actually didn't have it,
• 33:15
  or it was dirty or like she had some excuse to stand out.
• 33:18
  Got to wear her purple hues of purple.
• 33:21
  Yeah, I think we've all had that.
• 33:23
  A girlfriend too, maybe in our friend group that says she's
• 33:26
  going to do something with the group and then shows up and is
• 33:29
  like Oh well like I just couldn't because of whatever.
• 33:32
  And it's like, Nah, bitch, you just wanted to try to look
• 33:34
  better than the rest of us. And they just, you know, she
• 33:36
  deserves to burn at the stake. She's a witch.
• 33:38
  She should, I mean. Burn her the public square.
• 33:42
  Pick me, girl, pick me. And this is just another one of
• 33:46
  those little like tiny things that it's like a little thorn in
• 33:51
  the thing that they all are going to gather up and then
• 33:55
  you're going to be like my paw. It hurts.
• 33:57
  I stepped in thorns. I don't know whatever.
• 34:01
  Like it's like a you don't notice 1 thorn at 1st and then
• 34:04
  all of a sudden there's like they gather.
• 34:06
  Full of thorns. I mean, all of a sudden I.
• 34:09
  Love that. I love that.
• 34:10
  You got fur in your fur, you got thorns in your sides, and you're
• 34:13
  like, fuck, Robyn happened. That's what's happening slowly
• 34:17
  but surely here. Don't let Robyn Brown into your
• 34:20
  life, no matter what you do. No, no, no, no.
• 34:23
  When they show the boys at the gun range.
• 34:26
  Yeah, the shooting range. See, I know a lot about
• 34:29
  motorcycles. I know a lot about shooting
• 34:31
  guns. This is just very much my
• 34:35
  expertise. You have one in your pants right
• 34:37
  now. A gun, Yeah.
• 34:41
  Pulls it out of his holster. Bang Bang, Bang, Bang Bang.
• 34:45
  Shoot a old friend. Oh my God.
• 34:49
  Kody takes out his gift gun and I immediately recognized it
• 34:53
  because it looks like it's like someone took a crayon box from
• 34:58
  when you're a kid and spray painted it black and then just
• 35:00
  put a little nozzle in the front.
• 35:02
  Like it looks like almost like a play gun, like it would be in a
• 35:05
  movie like the Mafia but without the round thing in the front.
• 35:08
  And I'm like God, God, Kody. Mafia, but without the silencer
• 35:14
  on it. Yeah, like he's not going to go
• 35:15
  Merc people in their sleep. No, he wants to hear his gun
• 35:19
  shoot that little designer gun that.
• 35:21
  Bang Bang. Who even knows what?
• 35:23
  He's going on and on about how excited he is about this and how
• 35:26
  he can smell the gunpowder in the air.
• 35:29
  Yes, it turns him on. It gets his blood going.
• 35:31
  Getting hard over it. Blood flowing.
• 35:35
  Oh yeah, smelling that gunpowder in the air.
• 35:38
  Yeehaw. I just saved myself $1000 on
• 35:41
  therapy after shooting my gun. All the men laugh.
• 35:46
  Yeah. Kody you're so funny.
• 35:49
  Kody It was so not funny. But you know what?
• 35:54
  God bless Kody. He did say he was saving $1000
• 35:58
  on his what? Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis.
• 36:01
  Some sense the word psycho was in there.
• 36:03
  Psychotherapy. Yeah, I just saved all this
• 36:06
  money. It's like, oh, Kody.
• 36:08
  How'd that end up for you, darling?
• 36:11
  We go to Janelle's house and they are making sushi.
• 36:16
  Sushi. Or what is supposed to be sushi.
• 36:18
  Sushi. What in the actual hell is?
• 36:21
  This There was some seaweed, there was some rice.
• 36:25
  I don't know that I was able to really decipher anything else
• 36:29
  that was going on. There was a loose roll
• 36:31
  happening. There was the loosest roll I
• 36:33
  have ever seen. I mean, come on with this loose
• 36:37
  roll. Yeah, like that sushi roll gave
• 36:39
  birth that morning. Like it was like, oh.
• 36:42
  Yeah, I literally wrote down looks like shit.
• 36:45
  Yeah, literally. Looks like shit.
• 36:49
  Loose the loosest rolls you've ever seen in your entire life
• 36:54
  and it's like weird. They like gave us a couple
• 36:57
  snippets of Janelle talking particularly to to Erica.
• 37:02
  I'm sure Erica was faining like never, never had sushi.
• 37:06
  Oh, I'm just from the rolling hills of Wyoming.
• 37:09
  It's the first time I've ever had sushi in my.
• 37:10
  Life like, oh God, and it's like you're going to have this is
• 37:13
  like, this is not sushi, by the way, this is some shit bought
• 37:16
  somewhere and terribly assembled by Janelle and clan so.
• 37:20
  Poor thing this is your first exposure to sushi.
• 37:25
  God, that sky friend really needs to bless you so.
• 37:28
  Get on your knees and pray because what you're eating is
• 37:31
  not real sushi. It's not like they even try to
• 37:34
  tighten the roll up, like they try to cut it with a knife.
• 37:38
  They show like a clip of it being this roll being cut with a
• 37:42
  knife and it's just like smashing it in half even more
• 37:46
  and it looks so unappetizing. And then they feed it to Erica
• 37:52
  and this poor woman. Just, I don't even know.
• 37:57
  I just feel bad for her in this moment.
• 38:00
  There's a couple of sound bite moments where Janelle's like,
• 38:02
  yeah, you know, some people say it's a texture thing.
• 38:04
  And I'm like, what are you feeding her?
• 38:07
  Please don't tell me that you went somewhere and got raw fish
• 38:10
  to put into this thing that you're giving her.
• 38:12
  Like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 38:15
  It didn't look like tempura like it.
• 38:17
  It did look like raw salmon or some or raw tuna.
• 38:22
  It was at least smoked or something.
• 38:24
  I hope it was. God, the last thing Janelle
• 38:27
  needs to be doing is serving people raw food.
• 38:30
  Holy fucking shit can. You imagine poor Erica gets on
• 38:33
  the flight back home and she's just like, got diarrhea with a
• 38:37
  wazoo. Food poisoning from these the
• 38:39
  loosest rolls you've ever seen. Loosest stools from the loosest
• 38:43
  rolls. Erica's got a loose stool from
• 38:48
  her loose roll. From her loose sister-in-law.
• 38:52
  Yes, from loose astronel. Oh my God, Janelle the floozy.
• 38:57
  Wow, this is so good. And she's like just get me back
• 39:01
  home safely please, guy friend, please.
• 39:05
  Oh my God. Isn't it in that toilet, bracing
• 39:08
  herself with her hands on each side of the tiny little old
• 39:12
  bathroom? Yes.
• 39:14
  Cursing. Oh man, poor Erica.
• 39:17
  Well, she was exposed to a lot in Vegas.
• 39:20
  You know the worst sushi I've ever seen?
• 39:23
  They do show us another couch moment here where the wives are
• 39:28
  having a little chit chat about Erica and Christine says she
• 39:32
  would make a great sister wife. And then they all make this a
• 39:36
  weird like, well, not to us. She's our choking on their
• 39:42
  tongues like. Weird moment.
• 39:45
  Weird moment. It was a very weird moment, like
• 39:47
  the producer should have just like cut it, but I feel like it
• 39:50
  was a little like snub weirdo moment.
• 39:54
  I'm not sure what the purpose of it even is because it's like
• 39:56
  she's their sister-in-law, right?
• 39:59
  But they none of them know how to say that.
• 40:02
  Yeah, like what is she to us? It's like she's your husbands
• 40:05
  brothers wife. Like it's not that big of a
• 40:07
  deal. Yeah, like she couldn't,
• 40:09
  shouldn't be your sister, wife. Like why are you?
• 40:12
  She shouldn't leave her husband to marry her husbands brother
• 40:15
  Janelle. It was weird.
• 40:17
  Janelle, Oh my God, married to Meri's brother and then married
• 40:20
  to Meri's husband. Yeah, it was a weird comment.
• 40:24
  And then they all kind of like laugh and backtrack.
• 40:27
  I couldn't even figure out which one of them it was because they
• 40:29
  all had this weird reaction. And it served what purpose?
• 40:32
  Who knows? Literally none at all, because
• 40:35
  then they go to the boys at dinner.
• 40:37
  After they shoot the guns, they go to a casino for dinner.
• 40:40
  They need to fill their gullets with some grub after shooting
• 40:44
  all those guns. And you know, so many loose
• 40:47
  rolls at home. They don't want nothing to do
• 40:49
  with them loose rolls. They're going to go out for some
• 40:52
  steak loose. Stools from the loose rolls.
• 40:55
  Oh my God. Oh, wow.
• 41:00
  And with chopsticks, I mean, there's just so many, there's so
• 41:02
  many elements, so many elements. I.
• 41:04
  Didn't even notice the chapstick, I saw her feeding it
• 41:06
  to her with her fingers. Yeah.
• 41:08
  Oh, God. So while the boys are sitting at
• 41:12
  this restaurant, which is, you know, I guess a fancy
• 41:15
  restaurant, I don't think it was a fancy restaurant.
• 41:19
  I think it was a normal restaurant.
• 41:22
  It did have high ceilings. And horrible overhead lighting
• 41:26
  shining on all of their foreheads.
• 41:27
  Yes, there was a lot of this is The thing is it was not that
• 41:30
  fancy. There was like murals on the
• 41:33
  wall that were like, you know, I don't know.
• 41:35
  It was in a casino. The restaurant was in a casino.
• 41:37
  A lot of bad overhead lighting, A lot of receding hairlines.
• 41:42
  Like French fries coming with this dinner.
• 41:46
  Yet someone, oh, I think it was Michael, who was ordering a
• 41:50
  salad and the server said something about did you catch
• 41:54
  which vinegar red it was? I did not, no.
• 41:57
  The server said something like, oh it comes with A and we're not
• 42:00
  even talking hoity toity, we're talking.
• 42:02
  Like a Raspberry. Vinaigrette like literally super
• 42:06
  basic and Michael just waits and he's like ranch.
• 42:10
  I'll drink some ranch. Like Oh my God, like guess I
• 42:14
  mean listen, I love me some ranch.
• 42:16
  I mean, we're from the Midwest. We get we get the ranch in it.
• 42:20
  I'm. Not mad at some ranch, but like
• 42:22
  maybe when you're at the restaurant and you're ordering a
• 42:24
  salad and they recommend the vinegar out, you just get the
• 42:26
  vinegar out. But hey, you know, who am I got
• 42:29
  to get that ranch, Michael. Yeah, who the hell are you to
• 42:31
  say that? Shut them loose lips up or
• 42:33
  you're going to get some loose stools.
• 42:35
  OK, who the hell are? You to say that?
• 42:38
  Wow, who are? You to say don't get the ranch,
• 42:41
  Mr. Allen? My God, this episode's really
• 42:45
  bringing something out of Kimber, OH.
• 42:47
  That just I can't. All that brown testosterone,
• 42:50
  you're just driven crazy. I was.
• 42:52
  I was just being driven nuts. Michael says that God will need
• 42:56
  to hit him over the head with a 2 by 4 to show him when his next
• 42:59
  life is a common. Yes.
• 43:01
  And I'm just like, hello, I'm right over here.
• 43:05
  Hit him with that 2 by 4. Please, let's see Michael Brown.
• 43:09
  I might have to go see if he's still around on the Internet
• 43:12
  somewhere. Oh I wish we'd have done the
• 43:15
  math to know how old he is now. He was 24 at the time so he's
• 43:19
  probably like mid to late 30s I'm guessing.
• 43:21
  So all I have to do is take some photos of you, catfish him, set
• 43:25
  up this perfect romance, and then before I know it, I'm
• 43:29
  related to Kody fucking Brown. Well, am I related?
• 43:32
  No, that we are not related. Well, I did offer to carry your
• 43:37
  child in my womb so we could. Be Michael Brown, I'm carrying
• 43:41
  child. We get this weird family tree
• 43:43
  going on just like them. Oh no.
• 43:45
  Yes, yes. Michael Brown, this is Kimber.
• 43:49
  She's pregnant with my child. I have been catfishing you on
• 43:52
  the Internet. See, it's the start of a perfect
• 43:54
  romance. Sounds like it.
• 43:56
  Oh yeah, you'd have to like leave your husband 1st and I'll.
• 43:59
  Oh, no, no. No, no, no, no.
• 44:00
  What about the brother husband? This is the brother husband TLC.
• 44:06
  If you're listening, Ding Ding, Ding Ding Ding.
• 44:09
  You already have the built in audience from Sister Wives,
• 44:12
  right? It could be like a Bravo show
• 44:14
  where they start one show into another.
• 44:16
  It's like, oh, all of a sudden there's a transition.
• 44:18
  I'm seeing the inner producer and me is going mad.
• 44:20
  Hope you like loose rolls, loose lips and loose stools.
• 44:23
  Here she is. On the rolling plains of
• 44:28
  Wyoming, Michael does say that they're not on the hunt, but
• 44:32
  they're open for a second wife. So he he does need to get beat
• 44:35
  over the head with a two. I was going to say beat over the
• 44:38
  face. He does need to get smacked in
• 44:40
  the face by a 2 by 4. And then he might be open to
• 44:44
  another wife. But you know, we'll see a weird
• 44:49
  thing happening here is a voice over or a spotlight moment from
• 44:52
  Kody where he says it's been years since he's hung out with
• 44:55
  his brothers like this. And I found that to be a little,
• 45:00
  I don't know, weird. I don't know how much time
• 45:02
  people spend with their siblings.
• 45:03
  But like, I hang out with my brothers when I go home in this
• 45:08
  vein like once or twice a year. And that's because I just,
• 45:13
  that's how often I go home. I don't like go home to visit
• 45:15
  and then not hang out with them. So I found it to be a little
• 45:18
  weird that they are, I guess not all of the brothers are that
• 45:24
  close. Like there's Wyoming and Utah,
• 45:27
  so it's a bit of a thing. When you got one with 16 kids,
• 45:32
  then you got Kody like 16 kids and two wives, and then you've
• 45:37
  got this whole clusterfuck of a situation going on with Kody and
• 45:43
  then the other two brothers. Like they are married.
• 45:47
  So I imagine it's not easy to get together and if they were to
• 45:53
  want to get together, it probably would be expensive.
• 45:55
  And when you have these huge families, that chance just
• 45:59
  probably doesn't come along very often.
• 46:01
  Now with the show involved, the show probably foot the bill for
• 46:05
  this. So it makes sense that they're
• 46:09
  like, Oh yeah, sure, we can make this happen now because it's on
• 46:14
  someone else's dime. Yeah, they probably would pay
• 46:16
  for like flight and hotel and stuff like.
• 46:18
  That they definitely did. I mean, there's no way that they
• 46:21
  wouldn't have paid for at least some of this at this point in
• 46:25
  the show. Now, I live a very close to my
• 46:28
  sister, and I still don't see her as frequently as you might
• 46:33
  assume because we have little children.
• 46:36
  Yeah. So I mean, when I think of that,
• 46:39
  I'm like, it's not super shocking to me.
• 46:42
  I guess it just stood out to me because I happen to see my
• 46:45
  brothers more regularly and I'm like the like black sheep homo
• 46:50
  who's like, you know, going to impregnate my friend who's
• 46:53
  sleeping with polygamous and, you know, I'm the weirdo, but.
• 46:57
  Like you're lucky you're still invited around.
• 47:02
  They're happy to have me. I'm sure they are.
• 47:06
  Now we cut to Meri's house where Kody is leading another Sunday
• 47:11
  service. Oh Kody, the spiritual leader of
• 47:15
  the Brown family. It is a little odd that Kody is
• 47:19
  leading this service as opposed to his oldest brother.
• 47:24
  Maybe his oldest brother is like wow.
• 47:26
  It only makes sense that you lead the service.
• 47:28
  It's your home, your home base. I'm sure it has something to do
• 47:31
  with that because Kody starts it all out and he's preaching about
• 47:35
  charity, and then his brother Scott does join in and does like
• 47:40
  a passage or something. And then we get commentary from
• 47:47
  Janelle that she's glad to have other people join in because it
• 47:51
  gets boring when it's just them. They don't have a church
• 47:54
  community here, so it's always just them.
• 47:58
  So she's thankful to have other people joining.
• 48:00
  Yes, they just have these services in their homes because
• 48:03
  there is no polygamous church in Vegas.
• 48:06
  And it would be boring to listen to your parents.
• 48:08
  It's already boring when you're a kid going to church and then
• 48:11
  Can you imagine it's like your dad?
• 48:12
  I'd be like. Right.
• 48:15
  I mean, Oh my sky friend. And I'm surprised because she
• 48:18
  also makes a comment that Curtis's sermon or passage made
• 48:23
  the most impact she believes. Yeah, well, Curtis, when he's
• 48:27
  sermon, he's sermoning. I don't know what it means to
• 48:30
  sermon or what the word is to sermon.
• 48:33
  Curtis sermons about how they all serve one God.
• 48:41
  The gist is just to like, not force dogmas on others.
• 48:43
  Basically it's. Like the hypocrisy of doing that
• 48:47
  when you believe in you know what you are preaching.
• 48:51
  I think his example was about forcing someone to eat meat on
• 48:54
  Sabbath. Yeah.
• 48:55
  Eating meat on Sabbath like. Yeah, whatever day.
• 48:58
  Yeah, Kody seemed to be like he took it well, like he was
• 49:02
  listening and seemed like he was taking it in.
• 49:05
  Yeah, I think that there is crossover probably in the
• 49:08
  religions. He's not necessarily believing
• 49:10
  in the Book of Mormon anymore, but they're still Christians,
• 49:14
  right. So there is that crossover and.
• 49:18
  They practice Hanukkah. Right Hanukkah.
• 49:22
  Paper plates. Oh gosh, they did a close up of
• 49:26
  Scott's face while he was watching Curtis and he's got
• 49:30
  this stoic face on and like a fuzz or a family or something
• 49:35
  floats across like right in front of his face.
• 49:39
  Yes. And I just was like, he's got
• 49:41
  this stoic look and then there's just like something floating
• 49:43
  across like right in front of his face.
• 49:46
  And I, I don't know, so good. It caught my eye.
• 49:49
  Yeah, it's so realized, like, well, I guess we're going to
• 49:52
  keep this shot in even though there's like a gnat flying in
• 49:55
  front of the brother. Well, it's like, like, that's
• 49:59
  probably what he's thinking. Like, I still love my brother.
• 50:03
  I don't want to be that hypocrite, but like, fuck this
• 50:05
  shit. I don't know.
• 50:06
  My gosh, I don't know. He's the one that has had
• 50:10
  trouble coming to terms with the fact that his brother is no
• 50:14
  longer part of the Mormon faith, right?
• 50:16
  So he's listening to his younger brother preach and.
• 50:22
  Hystilitize. It yeah, it was just kind of
• 50:25
  ironic that they get this clip of him and it's like whatever
• 50:29
  right in front of his. Face, It's always fun to see the
• 50:32
  pious judge others and be all concerned about their families
• 50:37
  for not having a faith. And it's like, right, I don't
• 50:40
  want to say like worry about yourself, but literally worry
• 50:42
  about yourself. Like my God.
• 50:43
  Yeah, I mean, Kody basically just says back what his brother
• 50:46
  just said. And he's like, oh, yeah, this is
• 50:48
  really interesting because and just puts what his younger
• 50:53
  brother said just into different words.
• 50:56
  And it's like, OK, yeah, you had to have the last.
• 50:59
  We're there in your family home preaching about charity to
• 51:03
  everybody. It was like, yeah, OK, we get
• 51:06
  it, Kody. Yeah, he mansplains to his
• 51:07
  brother. Yeah, he just says.
• 51:09
  Something I know it's not mansplaining, but you know that
• 51:11
  thing to. The whole family, we've got to
• 51:13
  dumb it down. I'm going to like restate what
• 51:16
  you said slightly different and make it seem like I said it like
• 51:19
  Oh my God. Literally exactly what he did.
• 51:22
  And then we get Janelle, who is in this little monologue about
• 51:28
  how she's so worried that she hasn't taught Logan enough about
• 51:33
  her strong testimony and how she feels about her testimony and
• 51:38
  he's leaving soon. And she's just so worried that
• 51:40
  she hasn't imparted her beliefs on him enough.
• 51:44
  And she's like almost in tears talking about it her.
• 51:48
  Eyes are welled up. She's worried she hasn't done
• 51:52
  enough to instill the faith in her kids.
• 51:56
  Oh my God, it's like Janelle, take your burning bosom and
• 51:59
  chill and you know, intersplaced with her having this like very
• 52:05
  emotional response because Janelle's usually like pretty
• 52:08
  even keeled. So it's a little jarring.
• 52:10
  Like, it's like, got it. Faith is important to you.
• 52:13
  Yeah. So you had a testimony.
• 52:14
  Yes. You hope your kids are getting
• 52:15
  it. Also, your kids are, like,
• 52:17
  engulfed in this. Like, I don't think that Logan
• 52:20
  doesn't understand your faith. And interspaced with this is
• 52:24
  clips of Logan leading them in a prayer.
• 52:28
  So like, a Logan is leading the family in a prayer.
• 52:31
  And she's being like, I just don't know that I've done
• 52:33
  enough. And it's like, I guess that is a
• 52:35
  little bit of parenting, like you never feel like you've
• 52:38
  probably done enough, but like, I'm pretty sure your kids have
• 52:40
  been beaten over the head with your faith plenty.
• 52:43
  She is the one during this whole entire segment that's talking
• 52:47
  about how she's glad to have people joining and how Curtis
• 52:50
  made a good impact and all this stuff about Logan.
• 52:54
  And I think she's really getting in her feels about missing her
• 52:58
  community and missing that Mormon influence from others.
• 53:04
  And I think she's worried in this scenario that they've put
• 53:07
  themselves in that they have separated from the church too
• 53:11
  much and that maybe this has been a bad influence on him.
• 53:15
  That's kind of what I'm getting from this moment.
• 53:19
  A mother's intuition. You might know what she's
• 53:22
  thinking, what she's feeling. Yeah, I think she's realizing
• 53:26
  how far they've gotten away from their faith and especially with
• 53:30
  Scott here, who is the person that Kody looked up to.
• 53:35
  I just did wide eyes that Chris the.
• 53:38
  Overlookers. The yeah, I think she's
• 53:40
  realizing how distant they've gotten from their original from.
• 53:47
  Their cults from their literal cult.
• 53:50
  Yeah. And that would be, that is
• 53:52
  something that I don't know that they reflect on because they try
• 53:55
  to move so far away from being members of the AUB and of this
• 54:00
  cult for the show. Like they it comes up, but it
• 54:04
  doesn't really come up. Like they avoid it in their way.
• 54:08
  And so there must have been so many times of reflection where
• 54:12
  it's like, Oh my gosh, like it wasn't so long ago where they
• 54:15
  were living in the compound or in their, you know, split level,
• 54:19
  right? And their kids were going to
• 54:20
  like the church school. And they were like, oh,
• 54:23
  everyone's going to be polygamist and blah, blah, blah.
• 54:26
  Now they're in Vegas with the camera crew.
• 54:28
  Very different. I mean, imagine the opposite.
• 54:30
  Imagine you move from where we live, which is a pretty liberal
• 54:36
  city in. In a Yankee state, we.
• 54:39
  Live in like a pretty progressive area.
• 54:42
  Yeah. Imagine moving from here to a
• 54:47
  small town in Utah. Like, imagine if the roles were
• 54:51
  reversed, how completely out of it you would feel and how
• 54:57
  othered you would feel. And you would just feel, yeah,
• 55:02
  completely out of your element, like a fish out of water.
• 55:04
  And I think that this is one of the first moments where they're
• 55:08
  actually bringing it up and relating it to the faith.
• 55:11
  They keep talking about how they're not living next to each
• 55:14
  other and how it's so different because their homes aren't
• 55:16
  together. But they've never really touched
• 55:18
  on the religious part of it, other than that one episode
• 55:22
  where they talk about taking the kids to a Christian camp once in
• 55:27
  a while for the camaraderie of good kids.
• 55:32
  But other than that, they don't really talk about it.
• 55:36
  So it's kind of a little insight into Janelle's.
• 55:41
  That makes sense. And just to make it crystal
• 55:46
  clear, if I was to move to a small town in Utah, I would be
• 55:49
  the belle of the ball. Of course no one's saying you
• 55:53
  wouldn't be, darling. Down low freaky loser Mormon
• 55:57
  freaks. What a weird life that would be.
• 56:01
  Oh my God. Anyway, so let's not think about
• 56:05
  me moving to that region. Rural Utah.
• 56:10
  I feel like they wrapped up to leave but it was like real
• 56:12
  quick. They did, but it was like it was
• 56:15
  after this sermon. It was almost like this was like
• 56:18
  their little goodbye. They're leaving.
• 56:21
  Like they literally were packing up bags and leaving.
• 56:23
  Yeah, they don't make a thing of it.
• 56:25
  Later that day or the next day or the day after that or the
• 56:28
  week after that, we cut to Christine's house where we're
• 56:32
  going to meet with Mona, everyone's favorite Las Vegas
• 56:36
  realtor, real estate agent. I'm not sure if she's actually a
• 56:40
  realtor, but Mona, real estate agent meeting with her, she is
• 56:45
  all business. She asks how they're feeling.
• 56:48
  So maybe she's not all business. She's like, how are you feeling?
• 56:51
  And she's got that cleavage out. Oh.
• 56:54
  She's got that cleave out. I miss the boobies.
• 56:57
  She kind of reminds me of not a fortune teller in this moment,
• 57:02
  the way she's looking. She reminds me of somebody that
• 57:06
  you'd be sitting next to in a movie and she would tap you on
• 57:09
  the shoulder and she'd be like, excuse me, do you know somebody
• 57:12
  named Gregory? I'm getting something from
• 57:16
  somebody named Gregory. And he has a message for you
• 57:19
  from beyond. She looks like.
• 57:21
  What was her name like? Sylvia.
• 57:23
  Sylvia Brown. Sylvia Brown.
• 57:26
  Yes, yes. Yes, who used to go on Oprah and
• 57:29
  like weird shows? She was a little more like
• 57:31
  Maury, but. A medium, medium, medium.
• 57:39
  She looks like that in this moment.
• 57:41
  She's got her. Little like her she was.
• 57:44
  Going to take out a crystal and be like, hold this in your hand,
• 57:47
  yeah, and. It will help you get your homes.
• 57:50
  But this is when I noticed something because I was looking
• 57:54
  at Mona's cleavage and then they went to Kody and I noticed that
• 58:00
  it looks like Kody is wearing a Prada dress shirt.
• 58:05
  Yes, and it's a boring tan shirt, but it has what looks
• 58:09
  like a Prada logo on one of the like upper left pockets.
• 58:17
  Yeah, like a chest pocket, the upper flap.
• 58:19
  Yeah. And it is weird because it's
• 58:21
  like a light tan button up everyday ordinary shirt.
• 58:25
  You wouldn't think anything special of it at all.
• 58:28
  But you said, is that a Prada logo?
• 58:30
  And I was like, it's the triangle.
• 58:33
  We had to pause it and rewind and you couldn't really tell,
• 58:38
  but it looked like a Prada shirt.
• 58:41
  And I'm like, OK, if this isn't Prada, even if it's knock off
• 58:46
  fake Prada, you're trying to look a certain way right now and
• 58:50
  you're talking about your homes and your finances and how you
• 58:53
  can't afford these homes, and you're sitting here wearing a
• 58:56
  shirt that looks like a Prada shirt.
• 59:01
  And to be fair, the ugliest Prada shirt I've ever seen,
• 59:03
  which is part of the reason that I don't know if it's Prada
• 59:05
  because it didn't look like designer.
• 59:08
  Well, it looks like Banana Republic like circle that era
• 59:12
  like the quintessential Banana Republic from back in the day,
• 59:15
  where you look like you're going on a safari.
• 59:17
  Right. I know it was hard to tell, but
• 59:21
  it either is Prada or is fake Prada.
• 59:25
  And then immediately from that they cut to show, you know, like
• 59:28
  Meri and she's wearing her like spaghetti strap at her.
• 59:31
  It's like these women look like they are just walking out of
• 59:34
  like a flea market. And a Robyn has her purse
• 59:36
  sitting on the ground right in front of her, and it's like this
• 59:40
  bright red leopard print plasticy satchel bag.
• 59:46
  Yes. And it looks like something from
• 59:49
  the buckle, OK, but like, very, very gaudy, right?
• 59:56
  I don't even know. There's a lot going on that I
• 59:59
  noticed in this scene. It was like the cleavage drew my
• 1:00:02
  attention in, and then I started noticing these tidbits about
• 1:00:06
  everybody there. And it's like what in the actual
• 1:00:10
  fuck is happening visually for me like I was.
• 1:00:16
  It was a lot. It was a lot it.
• 1:00:18
  Was a lot to take in. And Janelle says that she is
• 1:00:20
  discouraged. That's her feelings.
• 1:00:22
  When Mona asks how they're feeling, she says she's
• 1:00:25
  discouraged. So discouraged.
• 1:00:27
  And understandably so. And to remind everyone in our
• 1:00:31
  last episode, they found out that they could be approved for
• 1:00:34
  some untraditional financing potentially that would require a
• 1:00:40
  40% down payment. However, the four lots that they
• 1:00:43
  were looking at, where they were building the two model homes,
• 1:00:46
  one of the homes sold. So, you know, it's kind of like
• 1:00:50
  cool, you could have really, really expensive financing, but.
• 1:00:53
  Private lending. Yeah, private.
• 1:00:55
  Private. So that's where we left off on
• 1:00:58
  our last things. That's right, because Tanya
• 1:00:59
  remember Tanya? Tanya, she was like fucking
• 1:01:02
  shirt this time. Yes, and she was like, I've got
• 1:01:05
  an update from Mona. They sold one of the houses and
• 1:01:07
  we were like, Tanya, may you burn in hell because.
• 1:01:11
  With a disappointment of your boring outfit this time around.
• 1:01:16
  Oh God. And then the Prada logo blinded
• 1:01:18
  us and it was like, what the hell is going on here?
• 1:01:21
  Mona says that we were looking at unconventional financing
• 1:01:24
  because, you know, two of the houses were in progress being
• 1:01:27
  built and that put them in a different classification, I
• 1:01:31
  guess, qualification. It doesn't even make sense to.
• 1:01:33
  Me, I don't quite follow it. I'm not going to pretend to know
• 1:01:37
  these things. But then Mona, you know, she's
• 1:01:40
  got the cleavage and she says there are 4 vacant lots at the
• 1:01:44
  other end of the street and it's like yeah, are you fucking
• 1:01:48
  kidding me? So.
• 1:01:51
  In the cul-de-sac at the end of the street.
• 1:01:54
  At the end of the street that there's four vacant lots and
• 1:01:57
  that they could have more time to qualify and work on their
• 1:02:00
  credit because there's no homes being built at the time.
• 1:02:03
  So they don't have to worry about someone coming in and
• 1:02:05
  buying the homes. All they're going to need is 5
• 1:02:08
  to 10% down for traditional financing.
• 1:02:10
  As opposed to 40% down. Like insane.
• 1:02:15
  It's like, was this just for television?
• 1:02:17
  Like the whole this whole rigmarole.
• 1:02:19
  Everything seems very weird. They might be buying the
• 1:02:23
  property instead of buying directly from the developers, so
• 1:02:29
  maybe we. Do find out though is they do
• 1:02:31
  work with developers to customize their homes.
• 1:02:34
  OK. I know they were going to do
• 1:02:36
  that for these first homes. So maybe it's different because
• 1:02:40
  there's some sort of like contract with the developers in
• 1:02:44
  these lots that are already being built on, but the other
• 1:02:46
  lots there's. Because there's already a
• 1:02:49
  homestead in progress that could make it different for the
• 1:02:53
  financing. Yeah, perhaps.
• 1:02:55
  It just seems odd to me because I would almost think that it
• 1:02:58
  would be more expensive to start from scratch with empty lots.
• 1:03:02
  Yeah, I don't really know. I guess I'm just confused by it.
• 1:03:06
  It doesn't make sense to me. I currently am living in the
• 1:03:10
  first home that I have ever like purchased like with my husband
• 1:03:14
  so I don't know a lot about home buying but.
• 1:03:18
  Well, and there's been a few references to the market in
• 1:03:22
  Vegas at this point, like Kody's all about like how it's a down
• 1:03:25
  market, it's a depressed market, they need to jump on it.
• 1:03:27
  So I'm not sure. I mean, basically their homes
• 1:03:31
  were super affordable in the sense that they turned around
• 1:03:35
  and sold them for a profit years later.
• 1:03:37
  Like, you know, the market was in their favor.
• 1:03:40
  They do work with the I know they work with the developer
• 1:03:42
  because they literally get the same like model homes where they
• 1:03:45
  go in and cause. OK.
• 1:03:46
  Yeah, but then it's so great because there's this moment
• 1:03:49
  where after Boda tells them they might be able to qualify for
• 1:03:53
  traditional financing. Janelle, Janelle.
• 1:03:56
  Queen Janelle. Wow, wow.
• 1:04:02
  Wow, wow. She's just wow, wow.
• 1:04:07
  Maybe she was in a coma after her loose stool.
• 1:04:11
  They're all like just a week hail from having diarrhea for
• 1:04:17
  how many days? Three days later, they're like,
• 1:04:19
  we can't film for three days because everyone's recovering
• 1:04:21
  from their food poisoning. Everyone had really loose stools
• 1:04:24
  for some reason the last few days.
• 1:04:27
  We're just getting over it just now.
• 1:04:29
  God, it's so wrong. And anyone who's seen this show,
• 1:04:34
  if you have not watched this show, if you don't know what
• 1:04:37
  Janelle Brown looks, if you don't know you, I hope we've
• 1:04:40
  given you an adequate look into who Janelle Brown is.
• 1:04:43
  This is not a woman you want making you sushi.
• 1:04:46
  I just no. I mean, I just don't want any
• 1:04:50
  white person making me sushi if I'm being fucking honest.
• 1:04:53
  I'm so sorry. I'd eat my own sushi.
• 1:04:55
  I know how to make a roll. Pretty tight girl.
• 1:04:57
  OK, I shouldn't say any white person.
• 1:05:00
  A gay person you can trust a gay white man to make you some.
• 1:05:04
  Sushi. Oh my gosh.
• 1:05:05
  I should say I wouldn't want most people, most white people
• 1:05:09
  to make me sushi, I mean. But even making even, I know
• 1:05:14
  we're going back. I mean, I need to get over it,
• 1:05:16
  but I don't think that there. I don't know.
• 1:05:19
  I don't know. It looked like raw fish.
• 1:05:22
  See this is I can't believe there would be raw fish.
• 1:05:24
  That's insane. I would never serve someone raw
• 1:05:27
  fish in my kitchen being like I'm just going to Willy nilly it
• 1:05:31
  like Oh my God no. I mean, I think my husband would
• 1:05:34
  do this. Well, yeah, but your.
• 1:05:36
  Husband, but he's a good. Cook.
• 1:05:37
  He's a good cook, Yeah. And he does leave things out for
• 1:05:41
  too long, so. He does, he does.
• 1:05:45
  And I got to say, a lot of the time I just some like the person
• 1:05:49
  that walks by because I'm just like, when's it going to get put
• 1:05:51
  away? When's it going to get put away?
• 1:05:55
  And I shouldn't let it happen either, but well.
• 1:05:58
  It is funny how it's like an hour and then like 2 hours and
• 1:06:01
  I'm like that food is still sitting out on the fucking.
• 1:06:03
  Corner. I know.
• 1:06:05
  Trust me. But you know what?
• 1:06:09
  If if your husband wanted to make me sushi, I would say,
• 1:06:12
  let's go to the grocery store and let me watch you buy it.
• 1:06:14
  Let me watch you roll it. I when I was younger, I watched
• 1:06:19
  Oprah like every day after school and she would have like
• 1:06:23
  specialists on that would talk about certain things.
• 1:06:26
  And there was one time she had somebody on that was talking
• 1:06:29
  about cleaning and they went into like depth about all the
• 1:06:31
  bacteria in certain areas and this and that.
• 1:06:34
  And I literally went on a cleaning spree that day.
• 1:06:38
  And my mom came home and the entire house was like spic and
• 1:06:41
  span. And she's like, what happened?
• 1:06:43
  And my mom to this day jokes about how I was that kid that
• 1:06:46
  all of a sudden she'd come home one day and like everything
• 1:06:49
  would have been cleaned like top to bottom.
• 1:06:51
  And it would just happen like every few months.
• 1:06:53
  This is just how I was. And there was a point in one of
• 1:06:58
  these shows where they talked about food and they talked about
• 1:07:03
  leftovers and how soon they should be put in the fridge
• 1:07:05
  after you are done with them or everyone's done eating them.
• 1:07:09
  And there were a lot of people. They had those little tablets
• 1:07:13
  that you could, like, put in your answer of what you thought
• 1:07:16
  it would be. And so many people thought you
• 1:07:19
  had to wait for the food to fully cool before putting it
• 1:07:22
  away in the fridge. OK, When that's just not true.
• 1:07:25
  Like you should just put it away as soon as everyone's done
• 1:07:27
  eating it, regardless of if it's warm or not when you put it in
• 1:07:30
  the fridge. OK?
• 1:07:31
  And I've never asked my husband, but part of me wonders if he
• 1:07:35
  thinks that there's like this certain thing that he needs to
• 1:07:38
  be doing. I don't know.
• 1:07:39
  Oh. Girl.
• 1:07:41
  I hope. I hope not.
• 1:07:43
  I don't know. All I know is I've seen a
• 1:07:46
  similar TV show where they showed the close-ups of the like
• 1:07:49
  things that start to grow out of the food pretty quickly.
• 1:07:52
  Like the little buggy bug bugs and.
• 1:07:55
  Yeah, we're going on a side tangent, but yeah, I totally
• 1:07:59
  know exactly loose. Stools.
• 1:08:00
  Loose stools. Yeah, I know exactly what you're
• 1:08:04
  talking about, trust me. Mona tells them that there are
• 1:08:07
  no alternatives that she's found in looking at, you know,
• 1:08:10
  properties or at other avenues for them to take.
• 1:08:14
  Given that her update was so like, Oh yeah, it turns out
• 1:08:18
  there's four lots down the road and the finance would actually
• 1:08:20
  be better, Do I trust Mona? Jury's out.
• 1:08:23
  I don't want to call Mona a bad real estate agent because I'm
• 1:08:27
  hoping to have her as a guest on the podcast.
• 1:08:29
  Oh yes. Mona, can you hear me?
• 1:08:32
  Mona, if you're out there, we'd love to ask you about Vegas real
• 1:08:36
  estate. We'd also like to ask you if
• 1:08:39
  you've ever had a loose stool from Janelle's Loose Sushi
• 1:08:42
  Roast. But I don't know.
• 1:08:45
  I mean, you know, whatever. I guess.
• 1:08:46
  According to Mona, there's nothing else they can do, which
• 1:08:49
  I don't believe, but we'll just go with it.
• 1:08:50
  It's television. Well, we kind of almost have to
• 1:08:53
  believe her because at this point it's obvious that she's a
• 1:08:56
  medium and probably has a crystal ball somewhere, and so
• 1:08:59
  she knows for a fact that this is all that there is.
• 1:09:02
  She has looked in that crystal ball.
• 1:09:04
  And to be fair, to be fair, she is dealing with an
• 1:09:09
  unconventional situation here and she is looking for four
• 1:09:13
  motherfucking homes. Where the financing is all
• 1:09:16
  intertwined because like Kody's on who's homes how and like they
• 1:09:20
  don't really dive into that, but it's got to be a mess.
• 1:09:23
  And it's mentioned in this clip, of course, like you said that
• 1:09:28
  they could have time to build their credit up.
• 1:09:30
  And I'm wondering what that? The only one that I know of at
• 1:09:36
  this point based on the show and like what we know is that Robyn
• 1:09:40
  has bad credit, right? And they've they've definitely
• 1:09:43
  not hidden that from us. So I think as we go through the
• 1:09:48
  next episodes, we might find out that she's not the only one.
• 1:09:52
  But for sure Robyn. Well, because in their book they
• 1:09:56
  talk about how they keep their finances separate.
• 1:09:59
  But we've talked in this, you know, podcast before how we
• 1:10:03
  don't quite understand how they split it up and that we would
• 1:10:06
  hope they'd be smart enough to have an LLC at this point and be
• 1:10:10
  splitting the income from the show so that it looks like they
• 1:10:12
  each have their own income. But are they smart enough to be
• 1:10:15
  doing that? We don't fucking know.
• 1:10:17
  So it will be interesting to see if we get more clarity about
• 1:10:20
  that. Yeah.
• 1:10:21
  And rumor mills about just like with all polygamists and the AUB
• 1:10:26
  and these fundamentalist cults, yeah, the years of potentially
• 1:10:32
  doing things to qualify for government assistance where
• 1:10:35
  maybe there's some. Yeah, some.
• 1:10:37
  Fudging. Yeah.
• 1:10:38
  Yeah, Like I dropped the white out over these numbers.
• 1:10:41
  Like, who knows? And maybe some bankruptcies
• 1:10:45
  where you just rack up a bunch of credit card debt and then
• 1:10:48
  declare bankruptcy and you have multiple incomes so you're not
• 1:10:52
  actually destitute, you're just declaring bankruptcy.
• 1:10:56
  If you're single and you've never been married to that
• 1:10:58
  person, they can't come after that person's money.
• 1:11:01
  Now, if I were to divorce my husband and file bankruptcy,
• 1:11:06
  they would go after my husband's money.
• 1:11:08
  Let's do. It next week.
• 1:11:09
  No, he can't. I think I'm just saying you
• 1:11:11
  couldn't even do that. Like you cannot do that.
• 1:11:14
  It doesn't work. So if you're in.
• 1:11:16
  This Kody's only legal legally married to Meri.
• 1:11:19
  Right. So if you're in this polygamous
• 1:11:21
  quote UN quote marriage, marriage in the church's eyes
• 1:11:24
  but not in the government's eyes, you can do a lot of things
• 1:11:28
  like that. And I suppose like, why wouldn't
• 1:11:30
  you? Especially if you've got all
• 1:11:31
  these kids and your husband's in and out of work and some of the
• 1:11:35
  wives aren't working. I mean, I'm not trying to say
• 1:11:39
  that it has happened, right? But we can imagine.
• 1:11:43
  Allegedly. Allegedly.
• 1:11:44
  Yeah. Who knows?
• 1:11:46
  Rumor mill. Rumor mill, right?
• 1:11:48
  Not based on facts. Yep.
• 1:11:50
  Our legal department said that we cannot prove these claims.
• 1:11:53
  OK, so they are all talking about their hopes to wrap up
• 1:11:57
  this episode, right? Like, it's like, OK, we're
• 1:11:59
  coming to the end of the episode.
• 1:12:00
  They're all going to give their like, huh?
• 1:12:03
  And Robyn says, oh, it's like you're telling me that OK, that
• 1:12:07
  was way too fast. Robyn.
• 1:12:08
  Oh, no, she's still fast at this point.
• 1:12:09
  She has, she hasn't had the gas leak in the house yet.
• 1:12:11
  So she's she's like, I think what I'm hearing you tell me is
• 1:12:16
  that there might be a second chance.
• 1:12:20
  It's like, yes, Robyn, you fucking moron.
• 1:12:22
  It's. Even worse than that.
• 1:12:24
  She goes. She goes.
• 1:12:26
  You're basically offering us a second chance at hoping I was.
• 1:12:34
  Like I knew I was doing too good for Robyn.
• 1:12:37
  That was amazing. Honey, you do a good Robyn.
• 1:12:42
  You know. Start of.
• 1:12:43
  Every show I've ever been in so. Well, and then someone else said
• 1:12:46
  something I don't know. And then Christine said it would
• 1:12:50
  take an absolute miracle to get into the homes.
• 1:12:53
  At this point, she's not feeling so optimistic.
• 1:12:57
  And you know, Christine, based on how she looks, I wouldn't be
• 1:13:01
  too optimistic either. Her skin is awful in these
• 1:13:04
  episodes. Like she's just, she's going
• 1:13:07
  through something. I don't know.
• 1:13:08
  She is and we haven't heard a lot from her in the last couple
• 1:13:11
  episodes, I don't think like. It's like she was being shamed
• 1:13:15
  by Robyn and shamed by Kody and then she tried to apologize and
• 1:13:18
  all these things and now she just looks like a mess.
• 1:13:20
  Yeah, something's going on with her here and I, I think that
• 1:13:26
  they've kind of kept her quiet the last couple episodes, so I
• 1:13:30
  don't know. It's true.
• 1:13:31
  Yeah. I mean, I don't even want to
• 1:13:33
  pile onto the. I don't want that to pile onto
• 1:13:35
  the Christine hate. I'm just saying, yeah, in these
• 1:13:37
  episodes she looks like she's like just woke up and didn't
• 1:13:41
  even really care and came to the job.
• 1:13:43
  Like it's a little Janelle vibe. She's checked out.
• 1:13:46
  She's checked out. She is checked out.
• 1:13:47
  She is checked out. I'm so mean.
• 1:13:51
  Yeah, well, they leave us on a real high here with that quote
• 1:13:54
  from her at the end. That's literally the.
• 1:13:56
  End. That's literally the end of
• 1:13:57
  their being. Like I don't have much hope.
• 1:14:00
  Yeah, OK, cool. All right.
• 1:14:04
  Thanks Christine, the time has come for you to choose a mustard
• 1:14:12
  seed for this fabulous episode. Mustard seed.
• 1:14:18
  I've confidence in you. My mustard seed is going to
• 1:14:23
  Erica and I will tell you it's going to Erica because she is
• 1:14:30
  just full of so much hope and light and joy and she is like
• 1:14:36
  thank fucking God that my husband doesn't believe this
• 1:14:39
  bullshit anymore. But I can have fun with it while
• 1:14:42
  I'm here and see these crazy ass like brother and sister in laws
• 1:14:48
  of mine and enjoy it and then sayonara back to my normal
• 1:14:53
  fucking life. And like we said, she has this
• 1:14:57
  energy about her where she is kind of I, I don't even want to
• 1:15:03
  say oversharing, but she's got this optimistic energy about her
• 1:15:07
  in her clips that she is in. And so, Erica, you are getting
• 1:15:11
  my mustard seed. That's amazing.
• 1:15:14
  Erica does deserve this mustard seed.
• 1:15:16
  Yeah, right. Imagine marrying into that
• 1:15:18
  family like Oh my God. Her husband says at one point,
• 1:15:22
  like, are you ever worried about me deciding I want a second
• 1:15:25
  wife? And they both laugh about like,
• 1:15:27
  how ridiculous it is. And she's like, no.
• 1:15:30
  And he's like, no, I don't want that.
• 1:15:31
  Don't worry about it. And it's just kind of funny
• 1:15:34
  because they're part of the family, but they're so far
• 1:15:36
  removed from the lifestyle and religion at this point that she
• 1:15:42
  feels comfortable and confident in her marriage.
• 1:15:43
  And I'm like, you go girl, you do you.
• 1:15:46
  I think I'm going to give my mustard seed to Curtis.
• 1:15:50
  OK. Because Curtis and Erica make a
• 1:15:54
  beautiful couple. They do.
• 1:15:56
  And Curtis has the personal strengths and convictions to
• 1:16:03
  follow what he thinks is right. And so he has chosen a path that
• 1:16:07
  is not polygamy just because his family is entrenched in the
• 1:16:11
  cult. And I also like that when they
• 1:16:15
  talk about, I'm sure a producer prompted it or something, but
• 1:16:19
  he's talking about having an bringing in a second wife.
• 1:16:21
  And he's like, no, like it's just not for me.
• 1:16:24
  Like, I, I wouldn't want to do it.
• 1:16:26
  And it's, it's authentic. Like he knows that he's.
• 1:16:29
  Yeah. For sure.
• 1:16:30
  A one person person and I appreciate that.
• 1:16:33
  And he also seemed like an all around nice guy.
• 1:16:35
  Like he probably was the brother I'd want to hang out with.
• 1:16:38
  If the someone was like holding a gun to my head and being like
• 1:16:40
  you have to hang out with one of them, I'd be like Curtis, you
• 1:16:43
  know, if they said you have to sleep with one of them, I would
• 1:16:45
  say Michael, but hang out with one of them definitely.
• 1:16:49
  You'd have to cite me for that one.
• 1:16:52
  See, I was tempted to give Michael my mustard seed, but
• 1:16:54
  then I thought, no, I'd give him a different kind of seed.
• 1:16:56
  So I'm going to go with Curtis. As long as Michael keeps his hat
• 1:17:00
  on during any exchanges. I'm like, can you put on one of
• 1:17:04
  those hats that is like ears? Like a Mickey Mouse?
• 1:17:08
  Yeah. Like a like a bear, like a like
• 1:17:14
  a bear or something. I'd be like, oh, you're so cute.
• 1:17:17
  Well, cuz you need something to like make that head the right
• 1:17:19
  shape. I don't know.
• 1:17:21
  Anyway, Curtis gets I'm. Talking about a trapper hat.
• 1:17:24
  Maybe, I don't know, like Danny Go.
• 1:17:27
  That's like a flying cap. I'll see.
• 1:17:29
  I don't know these words. I don't know.
• 1:17:31
  OK, so Curtis, Curtis, Curtis take my seed.
• 1:17:35
  Okay now shit stain darling, shit stain.
• 1:17:40
  This ones going to be real. Oh boy, I feel like there's some
• 1:17:44
  contenders here and not very like strong.
• 1:17:50
  Agreed. I feel like there's a lot of
• 1:17:52
  like weak contenders, like they all had maybe like a little bit
• 1:17:55
  of loose stool here, the loose like a full blown blowout.
• 1:18:01
  Other than poor Erica on the plane on the way home, little.
• 1:18:05
  Smear. Like Little.
• 1:18:07
  Smear from the loose stool. My shit stain is going to go to
• 1:18:14
  marry and not because of the hair alone, but because of her
• 1:18:22
  falsifying the record of not being crafty.
• 1:18:29
  After all of that she has said and all of the hand own pajamas
• 1:18:34
  that she has done, yes this bitch has the audacity.
• 1:18:39
  Thank you. To walk through the Artful
• 1:18:43
  Potter. She walks that ass through the
• 1:18:46
  Artful Potter and that hair with that hair and has the audacity
• 1:18:52
  to pretend that she is not crafty and it's just a ploy.
• 1:18:57
  She's a liar and a fraud. It's just a ploy.
• 1:18:59
  It totally, totally is. Let's get a little more screen
• 1:19:02
  time. Reminding everyone at home and
• 1:19:04
  me about the Christmas pajamas. Yeah, she literally makes
• 1:19:08
  pajamas for all the kids. Every single motherfucker
• 1:19:11
  Christmas. She does like she's insane.
• 1:19:13
  She does decor and decorating for every holiday.
• 1:19:15
  Like just Valentine's Day she had all the shit on the table.
• 1:19:17
  It doesn't make any sense. Yet all of the women are halfway
• 1:19:20
  done painting their projects, and she's still perusing the
• 1:19:23
  shelves like. As if there aren't like only 20
• 1:19:26
  projects to fucking pick from in this place.
• 1:19:28
  Like get your ass out. For issues that she's indecisive
• 1:19:31
  and never happy. Not that she's not crafty.
• 1:19:34
  And I mean I can relate. Yeah, So what about you?
• 1:19:38
  That's a good shit stain. My shit stain definitely goes to
• 1:19:43
  Chanel for thinking that she should be making sushi in her
• 1:19:48
  home for an out of state guest. What sparked this?
• 1:19:53
  She might as well have given her a coffee enema in the bathtub
• 1:19:56
  while she was visiting, right? Yeah, that would have been
• 1:19:58
  better, I think. But at least it would have been
• 1:20:00
  expected. It would have, yeah.
• 1:20:03
  I, I, I'm curious the origin stories of this loose sushi
• 1:20:08
  because like, my God, I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of
• 1:20:12
  the kids suggested it. If a production person, if a
• 1:20:16
  producer told her to do it, that is like malpractice.
• 1:20:20
  Like that is wrong. Sue the fuck out of.
• 1:20:22
  America. Sue them for that tapeworm that
• 1:20:25
  you just found out that you have from 10 years ago from this.
• 1:20:29
  Erica, if the what is that called when the crime is no
• 1:20:32
  longer whatever? Oh, the statute of limitations.
• 1:20:36
  On food places, Erica, if the statute of limitations has not
• 1:20:39
  run out, investigate this because you might have a case.
• 1:20:44
  I'm sorry Janelle, but you just should not be serving anyone
• 1:20:47
  sushi. Well, and it was one of the kids
• 1:20:49
  too that was rolling it up and like cutting it and like I.
• 1:20:53
  Think it might have been Maddie I.
• 1:20:54
  Just almost want to take that scene of the rolling and the
• 1:20:59
  cutting and like take a clip and do it on repeat and do it like
• 1:21:03
  forward and backward and forwards and backwards because
• 1:21:06
  it was so absurd. It was so absurd that I just
• 1:21:11
  think people need to see it. I don't know.
• 1:21:13
  Loose rolls and loose stools and Janelle's country kitchen.
• 1:21:21
  Thank you for that. Our keep Sweet moment this week
• 1:21:25
  comes to us from Maddie. She left us a comment on
• 1:21:28
  Spotify. It's very cute, she says.
• 1:21:32
  This quickly became a favorite podcast for me.
• 1:21:34
  It's a good mix of snark and good vibes.
• 1:21:37
  When my feed started auto playing a new episode, I was
• 1:21:40
  immediately stoked. I'll miss listening to Allie,
• 1:21:43
  but I'm excited to get to know Kimber just as much.

  Chris, thank you for inviting us to sit in on your friend group
• 1:21:49

• 1:21:53
  How sweet is that so? Sweet friend is a strong word.
• 1:21:56
  Might I say what I said? Friend is a strong word.
• 1:21:59
  Friend is a strong word. Just kidding.
• 1:22:03
  I would. I would prefer surrogate.
• 1:22:06
  Yeah, OK, OK. You know, what I love about it
• 1:22:09
  is that it touches me in a special place.
• 1:22:14
  I mean, it actually did make me feel like, oh, I made me have
• 1:22:17
  the feels because I was like, yeah, I am introducing my
• 1:22:19
  friends to people and people are enjoying it or hating it or
• 1:22:24
  whatever they're doing. So if you're hate listening,
• 1:22:27
  congratulations. Thank you, Maddie, for the kind
• 1:22:29
  words. Really, really appreciate that.
