Transcript
- 0:01High raccoon. Hi party people, Welcome to reality, to the cringe,
- 0:16where we serve up all the trash. That's a bit to eat. Yes,
- 0:19baby, we're too fatass raccoons and the bottom of this dumpster roll I'm
- 0:27doing all in the trash. There is a lot of garbage. We have
- 0:30to get to my friends, so much garbage. I mean, I was
- 0:33on vacation, Yeah you were. I was gone for a little while,
- 0:36and I just can we just talk about that for a second. I know
- 0:39nobody cares, but like, just indulge me. Like previous to my road
- 0:44trip to Des Moines, Iowa, UM, which is such a fantastic part
- 0:48of the country, sod sightseeing is amazing. Um. Previous to that,
- 0:53though, I was on that god damn Quito intermittent fasting diet and I had
- 0:58gotten to the point where I only had a one hour eating window. I
- 1:00was he was crazy. I was insane crazy, and I didn't think in
- 1:06my big dumb head, yeah, that I should probably break my fast before
- 1:11my vacation, like a few days even, yeah, like let my body
- 1:14adjust to car behind rates or like eating ach. But I didn't do that.
- 1:21No, and I broke my fast on the road to Disappointing. As
- 1:23we stopped in Wichita, we stayed at a hotel and I had all these
- 1:26plans to like eat a big meal and just drink all these cocktails. And
- 1:30you wouldn't stop talking about it too. You're like I was hungry. You're
- 1:34like, I'm so good. I was so hungry, beatriz. And so
- 1:38we got some donuts for the road. Yeah, and I had one donut
- 1:42and I just got fucking sick. I lost my voice, Yeah you did.
- 1:47I was whatsapping you. I had laryngitis, Like, I immediately got
- 1:53nauseous af Yeah, And I didn't eat anything else until we got to Wichita.
- 1:57Then we went to fucking PF chan because there's nothing, literally nothing there.
- 2:05I'm like, okay, I guess we can go to PF Changs.
- 2:07It was dog shit. I had a cocktail. I didn't drink it because
- 2:09it was just revolting. And that night I was up in the middle of
- 2:14the night barthing shut up, really totally barfing. Yeah. The next day
- 2:17we had to get back on the road to go to Disapointees. Oh,
- 2:21I'm in the passenger seat. I'm fucking spasming because I was barfing the night
- 2:23before I was I had no voice. I thought it was going to have
- 2:29to go to some fucked up Wichita hospital and be admitted because I broke my
- 2:34fast in the worst possible way and I didn't recover the entire time. By
- 2:38the time I started feeling better, I was heading back to Wichita. Oh
- 2:40my god. And the whole time he retexts me, don't worry, I'm
- 2:43totally fine. I wasn't eating anything. I mean, my brother was cooking
- 2:49these elaborate you know how it is. Yeah, just elaborate meals. We
- 2:52were going out for Mexican food and margaritas. I couldn't have any of it.
- 2:55I was like, so sad, What a shame. Yeah, that's
- 3:00dude. Yeah, and you want to go back on this diet. He's
- 3:02like, I'm gonna go back on Monday. I don't know if I'm gonna
- 3:06do the keto, but I'm going to definitely do the intermittent fasting. I
- 3:08don't know if I'm going to be as crazy about it. No, He's
- 3:12like, maybe a bit of a better eating window, but it was very
- 3:15effective. Well, yeah, when you're not eating anything for forty hours,
- 3:19I just felt like hell. The entire time, and then I felt worse
- 3:23when I broke the fast. I honestly thought I had to go to the
- 3:25ear. I was kind of worried about you when you were texting me.
- 3:28I'm like, come on, man, don't die while you're away. So
- 3:35I'm actually having a cocktail right now. This is the first cocktail that I've
- 3:38had that I'm going to actually consume in like five or six weeks. Oh
- 3:42my god. I hope you don't get sick me too. I won't because
- 3:45I've been eating stuff like Yeah. I think my body is used to eating
- 3:47carbs and stuff like that. Yeah. So that's what happened on my vacation.
- 3:52It was completely ruined by my eating disordered, fucked up brain. I
- 3:55was starving myself before I went so that I would look as good as possible
- 3:59for my family. Don't give a shit. I didn't notice anything. I'm
- 4:02like, do you not see me? I know, I did not see
- 4:05anything. No. Wow, I must have gained a lot of weights last
- 4:09time they saw me, and any weight that I lost just made me look
- 4:14the same. So it was all for a fucking nothing. That's all that's
- 4:16my updates, my life update. Sorry, raccoons that I missed our pod
- 4:20for all of that. Yeah, and you were sick yesterday too, you
- 4:24got laryngitis again. I know, I don't know how to cancel the middle
- 4:27of the day. You heard me. I don't know what the fuck is
- 4:29going on. She was like whispering to me, and what's happening? Like
- 4:32you can't even talk? I couldn't. She's like, can do you mind
- 4:35if we get so I need a break. I just need a break from
- 4:41my fucked up lifestyle. But I am back and I'm ready to talk sister
- 4:44wives. Yes, honey, oh my god. So before we get into
- 4:46everything, we gotta issue the disclaimer. We're out of control, We're in

- 6:39we would love to have you. All Right, let's get into some
- 6:43hot goss, some Sister Wives hot goss because there are a couple of items
- 6:46that we have to cover. This might be a little late, but we
- 6:49were gone, so but we have to talk about Gwen's wedding. Oh my
- 6:54god. Well this happened like right after we recorded the post. Of course
- 6:57it always does that every time. But Gwen gotten married to her partner b
- 7:02and the whole family was there. But there was a lot of talk for
- 7:05a few days because there was no pictures of Cody and Robin, right,
- 7:10and you were like, I don't think those bitches went to the wedding.
- 7:12I was convinced, and we were like conspiracy theories like why, and rumors
- 7:17that Robin is a homophobe and doesn't want her kids around Gwen. I mean
- 7:21all kinds of things were being said. Yeah, there was some shit on
- 7:25Reddit of people saying that Robin didn't approve of the way Gwen and b lived
- 7:30together before marriage, which is the dumbest thing ever, because you know,
- 7:32she was banging Cody right during their whole entire courtship. Of course, I
- 7:35guess that's all untrue because there was a picture, and I think it was
- 7:40leaked by Christine or McKelty, where Cody is seen in the background nursing Avalon
- 7:46or one of the babies his own breast. Yeah, I mean, okay,
- 7:59I like it. I do as well. It was the most unflattering
- 8:03angle though. Did you see that picture with his big old bulge of penis
- 8:07of a penis? Yeah, you could see it. It was I refuse
- 8:11to believe Cody Brown has a big old bulge for a people. I mean,
- 8:13it was the way his slacks must have been. Yeah, I'm not
- 8:16saying that his penis was big. I'm certainly his balls were probably big,
- 8:20you know what I mean, and old balls got old hanging balls. I
- 8:26did see the picture also of Robin. You sent it to me and you're
- 8:28like, is that Robin in the background, And she was like, I
- 8:31think also with the baby, yeah, looking very unhappy actually and that,
- 8:35and it turned out that they were there, Yeah, but they weren't in
- 8:39any of the family pictures, which is weird. Yeah, I don't know.
- 8:43Well, we know now that they showed up two hours late, right
- 8:46to the wedding, right, so everybody's theorizing that that's why they weren't in
- 8:50the like the big family photos, because they already happened before Robin and Cody
- 8:54even got there. Hmmm. But you would think that Gwen would have taken
- 8:58a picture with Cody and rob him. You'd think that there'd be some photographs
- 9:03including them. It's just so weird that they wouldn't be in any And this
- 9:07was a small wedding. There were like fifty people. Yeah, and that's
- 9:09going to be in a polygamist family that's going to be mostly family and family
- 9:13friends. And so I just can't imagine why they wouldn't be in any photographs.
- 9:20Maybe that the big family one that everyone saw, but like some some
- 9:24I would I would assume, But it's just weird, Like it could be
- 9:26either Gwen was mad at them for showing up late, but I don't know,
- 9:31she came out saying like, I didn't expect them to show up.
- 9:33They got an invite or whatever, and that was it. So she didn't
- 9:35say anything about it. But there's no pictures of her with them. Maybe
- 9:39they didn't want to be in photos. I think they probably didn't want to
- 9:43be I also heard somewhere that they actually did an RSVP and let her know
- 9:48that they were going to be there in the first place, much less that
- 9:50they were going to show up two hours late. And I think they only
- 9:54lived twenty minutes away from the venue. Yeah, so that was intentional.
- 9:58Would you have to be? And I guess people are saying it's because Cody
- 10:01Brown always has to be in the spotlight and so arriving two hours late is
- 10:07a way to do that. And I guess some of the people in the
- 10:11wedding party and or at the party were upset that he was there and didn't
- 10:15know that he had been invited and starting to started to get angry on Gwen's
- 10:18behalf. But then she told them, no, no, no, no,
- 10:20no, I invited them. I did hear that, and I did
- 10:24it say who was mad about it? I couldn't remember. I saw like
- 10:26a little blurb about that, but I don't think it was anywhere, but
- 10:28I would assume it's maybe family members mostly that's who's there. I'm just surprised
- 10:35that like mickelty didn't even have photos with them if she's like BFFs with them,
- 10:39right and as always advocating for them. Yeah, I don't know,
- 10:43but it's just very weird. Speaking of photographs, though, there was that
- 10:46one photo of the entire family except for Robin and Cody and their kids,
- 10:52which Mary was in. But then McKelty posted virtually the same photograph. It's
- 10:58not the exact same photograph. Yeah, virtually the same photograph, and Mary
- 11:01was photoshopped out. Yeah, And I couldn't tell if it was like she
- 11:05was photoshopped out or if she just stepped out, But that would be weird,
- 11:09right. I think when you examine the picture you can kind of see
- 11:13her legs on the bottom. I think she was photoshopped out. I think
- 11:18McKelty photoshopped Mary out of the family photo. That is so petty. What
- 11:24the hell? That's crazy. Just don't understand McKelty. I don't caint.
- 11:28How are you making all of these excuses for your father, who objectively is
- 11:33a horse's ass. It's on television. We all saw it with our own
- 11:37eyeballs, making excuse after excuse for Cody and Robin. But you can't show
- 11:43a bit of grace for Mary, right, I just don't like I mean,
- 11:48I guess there's the rumor that Mary abused McKelty or hid McKelty, which
- 11:54McKelty herself says she doesn't actually recall. I don't think there's any love lost
- 11:58between McKelty and Mary, but that is just so immature and patty. I
- 12:03don't like McKelty. I don't like that either. I think that's just like,
- 12:05what's the point in that you weren't even standing near her? It doesn't
- 12:09have to be anything big, But like everybody posted the big family group photo,
- 12:13like Christine and Janelle and Mary, and everybody posted the big family group
- 12:18photo with Mary in it, and then McKelty intentionally posted one that didn't have
- 12:22her in it. It's like, why that's crazy to draw attention to herself
- 12:28and to create drama. Probably I don't get it. I don't get how
- 12:31you can have grace for your dad and not don't Mary. I don't know
- 12:35either, especially when Mary has been riding hard for your dad. Yeah,
- 12:39you would think just by virtue of her being an ally to them that you
- 12:43would have like some grace for her. But she's gotten none, none at
- 12:46all, which maybe says a lot about how Mary was, or maybe it
- 12:48just speaks a lot about how Michelty is. I prefer to think it's the
- 12:52latter. I do not like her, Yeah, I do not prefer her.
- 12:56Yeah. And I feel for Mary. I always feel for Mary.
- 12:58I know she's not per FicT and you know, the allegations of abuse are
- 13:01not acceptable by any meaning of course. But when I watched these rewind episodes
- 13:07with Mary and the absolute destruction of her marriage at the hand of Robin,
- 13:11who, by the way, is apparently her best friend in this earlier episode,
- 13:16Oh my god, I just feel bad for her. Yeah, I
- 13:18just feel bad for her. And if Mary's the type of person that takes
- 13:22her shit out on everybody else, that's probably why she was so awful.
- 13:26I don't know. I don't know. I tend to think that anything that
- 13:28may or may not have happened between Mary and McKelty happened well before, For
- 13:33example, season three, which we're going to be covering tonight, like when
- 13:37McKelty was quite a bit younger. We do see Mary snap at McKelty for
- 13:39her immodesty, right, which in the real world is not immodest at all.
- 13:45But I've never really seen any evidence of that so far in season's one,
- 13:50two or three. So maybe when McKelty was really little, but she
- 13:52can't even remember. I don't know. It just seems like, grow up
- 13:54a little bit, a little bit, Just grow up a little bit.
- 13:56You have kids of your own, Like, just maybe you can have a
- 14:00talk with her and apologize, and you guys can let bygones be bygones.
- 14:03You don't have to be closed, right, But to photoshop her out of
- 14:07the fucking photo. Yeah, that's wild. That is wild. Well,
- 14:09do we have any other hot goss that we want to go over before getting
- 14:13into this episode? Well, I just wanted to read this stupid Reddit post
- 14:16that I saw, Okay, stupid. It's an interesting post because it's by
- 14:22this person HATCHI two fingerprints on Reddit system rise and it's the title is they
- 14:31edit him to make him look like the villain. So apparently this is something
- 14:35McKelty said on a live stream. Oh on here. Yeah, so McKelty
- 14:41said this in a live stream, and she also defended Cody's anchor at Janelle
- 14:43for staying friends with Christine by saying, nobody wants their wife to be friends
- 14:48with their ex while he thinks he's on his deathbed. So that's what mckeltie
- 14:52see it, Like when he was having COVID yes, okay, oh so
- 14:56yeah. And this person says, while that maybe true, that it's so
- 15:01easy to make Cody look bad, editing didn't make the majority of his kids
- 15:05lose respect for him, So I thought that was true. But I'm just
- 15:09like, why would McKelty say this shit. Why would she be defending Cody
- 15:11in any way and then saying that, oh, they just edit him to
- 15:15make him look bad. Are you serious? I don't know how. I
- 15:16don't I don't know. It's like all of these reality stars or the Real
- 15:20Housewives were like, no, I blame it on the edit, like you
- 15:24didn't see the whole picture, Like right, they can only use what you
- 15:26actually give them, And Cody, you actually said this shit. Yeah,
- 15:31you're actually doing this shit, and now it's being witnessed and corroborated by your
- 15:35wives who are now leaving you. Like it's obvious what's happening. I don't
- 15:39know why, McKelty is doing this, It's just weird. I'm like,
- 15:43how can you not see that all three of the wives left. She's dumb
- 15:46as fucked That's why, so fucking dumb. Defend your mom. And Tony's
- 15:50a grifter. He's just riding on mckelty's patreon and her LM bullshit, and
- 15:54he just doesn't work. He's a chess player, he's trying to be a
- 15:58professional fucking chess player. They're just trying to align with wherever they find the
- 16:03power to be in this family, and so I think they find the power
- 16:07to be with Cody and Robin still as opposed to Mary or Janelle or Christine.
- 16:11Maybe they're right. I don't know. I don't believe that's how they're
- 16:15betting though. So wild to me, so weird. How can you not
- 16:18support your mom? I don't know. If I were Christine, I'd be
- 16:21hurt by this. I would too. I mean, does she ride as
- 16:23hard for Christine? I mean, I'm not a part of her patreon because
- 16:26I'm not throwing money at those people, But if you Raccoons, if anybody
- 16:30out there is a patron of McKelty, like, does she ride this hard
- 16:36for Christine. Is she happy for Christine and David? For example? Because
- 16:40I thought I heard the recesses of my mind. I thought I heard at
- 16:44some point that she didn't like David, or she was a little skeptical of
- 16:48David. Yeah, so that would be crazy because all the rest of them
- 16:52like David. I could be making it up. Okay, I'm just full
- 16:55disclosure. But I don't know. I think that I heard rumblings somewhere in
- 16:59her family. Maybe it was paid in that not everybody liked him. Yes,
- 17:03interesting, Yeah, I don't like mclt man. I don't like her
- 17:07either. Do you think she's going to be on this new season, which,
- 17:10by the way, starts on August twenty Of the Night? Cannot wait?
- 17:12I can't wait. I hope she's on it. I see how stupid
- 17:15she is. Yeah, I have an actual visceral reaction to seeing her dumb
- 17:22face on my television. I'm sorry that rude. It's like, oh,
- 17:25get off my TV, lady she's with I don't want to talk about.
- 17:30I don't like her at all. Your trigger she's dumb? Yeah, she
- 17:33is dumb. I wasn't she the one who was talking about fucking breastfeeding?
- 17:37And postpartum and talking like an expert. Oh yeah, just dumb. Yeah,
- 17:44to hear your thoughts. MCLI all right, anything else for hot goss?
- 17:48That's all I got. All right, let's get into today's episode.
- 17:52We are talking about Sister Wives Season three, the final episode, which is
- 17:56episode twelve entitled Sister's Special Delivery. Oh my god, and we've all been
- 18:07waiting. We're so excited. Exceptional. Yeah, I'm Janelle. I don't
- 18:12care. Janelle's like, don't wake me up in the middle of the night
- 18:15to come see this goddamn baby. I don't care. We have a million
- 18:18kids. It's not like I haven't seen a baby be born. Been here,
- 18:22done that. Got the team chanteen times. Thanks. We start this
- 18:26episode with Robin assembling Solomon's playpen, calling into question once again why Cody doesn't
- 18:33assemble things. Why isn't fucking you are seventeen months pregnant, you are so
- 18:40big that little planetoids are orbiting you at this point, Where is Cody and
- 18:45why isn't he assembling this playpen? Whatever? He's appeasing the other wives because
- 18:48you know, he's probably getting ready to spend the majority of his time with
- 18:52Robin after Solomon's born. I don't even think he's appeasing the other wives.
- 18:56Well, no he's not, but he's you know what I mean, Like
- 18:59he's at their house doing that final days before Solomon comes. We're going to
- 19:03be spending some time together. And I thought it was interesting because as she
- 19:07was assembling this playpen, she's talking about like how uncomfortable it's been being pregnant.
- 19:14I mean, she's far along, she's almost going to give birth.
- 19:17And so she talks to Mary quite a lot, complains about her pregnancy,
- 19:22and Mary tells her this is from Robin. Mary tells me, you don't
- 19:25get to complain about the blessing of being pregnant. Yeah, And so I
- 19:30say, oh, okay, I'm so happy I'm having morning sickness. I'm
- 19:33so grateful for it. But I mean, just another opportunity to introduce the
- 19:40topic of Mary's fucking infertility. And see, this is what I was going
- 19:44to ask you, because this has brought up several times in this episode.
- 19:47It's been brought up several times this season. And I'm looking at Mary and
- 19:51Mary brings it up too, Like she doesn't. She brings it up without
- 19:53Robin even saying anything. So I'm like, has Robin been putting that in
- 19:59Mary's head? That's why she's saying it because she is insecure? I think
- 20:03so. I also think, well, before we get to the end of
- 20:06this episode where surrogacy is brought up, they have already been talking about it,
- 20:11and so this moment at the end of the episode where Robin dismisses everyone
- 20:15to have a private chat with Mary, this is a conversation that has already
- 20:19taken place. Because even in this episode, earlier on, when Mary's preparing
- 20:23the room for Solomon in her house, she talks about her IVF journey and
- 20:27not doing it, and then she connects it very strangely to her very close
- 20:33relationship with Robin. It's as if they were already talking about it, but
- 20:37they were pre producing the moment where Robin offers, doesn't that kind of make
- 20:41sense? Totally make sense? Yeah, so gross, it is gross.
- 20:45It's all gross, and I was clocking it the entire time. Meanwhile,
- 20:49at Janelle's, the families kind of be in the family. Hunter is not
- 20:55as surly as he used to be fourteen years old. He's not as upset,
- 20:59but he's a little appier. He's doing his football. Maddie is living
- 21:03vicariously through her friends in Utah. Yeah, she obviously still misses Utah.
- 21:07She definitely does. Is she texting? What's his face? Probably? How
- 21:11old is Maddie right here? Of Hunter's fourteen, then she must be sixteen?
- 21:15Sixteen? Is sixteen or seventeen, which is about the time she meets
- 21:18Caleb. Yeah, his name. Over at Christine's house, we have Aspen
- 21:26and mckelte, who, after nine months being in Las Vegas, seemed to
- 21:30be very happy. Yeah, got a lot of drive ends. Peyton,
- 21:33though, is not doing well. I know if he does have her friends.
- 21:37He looked sad, and I guess him and Dayton were tussling and fighting
- 21:41and stuff. They've been not getting along. And then Christine has a talk
- 21:45with him and says, you know, he can go and choose to live
- 21:48with his biological dad, right, because you're being so mean to him,
- 21:52so you better be nice. And then Robin's like, yeah, it's been
- 21:55really nice. Even though Peyton's struggling so hard, it's been great because him
- 21:59and date or having such a great relationship, right, which is good because
- 22:03I had never realized I don't because I'm not paying attention but I never realized
- 22:06that they really were very close in age. Yeah. So now Peydon and
- 22:10Dayton are walking to the bus stops together, coming home together. That's cute,
- 22:14and it seems to be like getting more copathetic, which is nice.
- 22:18Yeah, and then we have Leon, and Leon seems to be happy,
- 22:22but it also feels like they're putting on a happy face, like I'm not
- 22:26really sure that they want to be in Vegas or that they want to be
- 22:30a part of this family. And I'm not really sure that they like Robin
- 22:33actually, Like in the bathroom when Leon was talking about meeting Robin and they
- 22:40were saying that they knew immediately Cody was going to marry Robin. Yeah,
- 22:45and now I guess she's my mom. Yeah, that's what Leon says,
- 22:48something like that, that's just what it is. And the look on Leon's
- 22:52face, I was clocking that. I'm like, you're Lyon, You're not
- 22:55happy about it. You're just convincing yourself that you're happy about it because your
- 22:59mom is BFF. Swer Yeah, I think so, you think that's what
- 23:03it is. Yeah. Meanwhile, on the couch, all the kids are
- 23:07there and they're talking about well, Hunter's like I don't think we need another
- 23:11kid. Same with Maddie. Maddie's like, yeah, and you know,
- 23:14you hear stories about when these kids were little and how hungry they actually were,
- 23:18Like I think they actually skipped meals sometimes all they had to eat was
- 23:23like a piece of bread, Like they were po po po, very poor.
- 23:27So they've been in a state of abject scarcity. Yeah, and while
- 23:33it's not like that anymore, they're probably like, why are you bringing more
- 23:36children into this situation. Let us get fucking settled in Vegas for real.
- 23:40Let's figure out where we're living and how to pay our bills, and then
- 23:44we can talk about bringing more kids into the situation. Yeah. And I
- 23:47think Maddie's like, we already have enough kids, Like why do we even
- 23:48need anymore? And you know that it just falls on the responsibility of a
- 23:52lot of the older kids. Anyway, half the time, they're the ones
- 23:56babysitting, they're the ones helping out the parents. I mean, Logan's been
- 24:00parent to buy this whole entire dime. He's seventeen, he's on his way
- 24:03out. I mean if I was him at eighteen, at the drop of
- 24:07that hat, I'd be out. Go on yeah, does he leave.
- 24:11I know he goes to college, but like, I don't know, is
- 24:14it a local kind of community college and he's still living at home. I
- 24:17know we'll probably get to it next season, but I hope he gets the
- 24:19funk out of there. I hope so too. I don't know when he
- 24:22leaves, okay, but I'm just saying if I was that, I'd be
- 24:25in peace and out. Well. We also have Robin going to her midwife
- 24:30appointment, because I think at the time of the beginning of this episode,
- 24:33she's like a week and a half from her due date. They check everything
- 24:37out, she's doing well. And I just noticed though that right before she
- 24:44got examined, Cody was like, yeah, she looks like she's dropping and
- 24:47we just took her to a chiropractic adjustment. Yeah. I'm like, okay,
- 24:52And this kind of takes us back to when they went to the ranch
- 24:55and then McKelty got injured and instead of taking her to the er, they
- 24:59took her to a chiropractor. Yes, it's like the chiropractor. They're only
- 25:03means of like medical treatment other than the midwife. I heard from my Mormon
- 25:08friend Ethel they're real big with the moments. Yeah. Well apparently, well,
- 25:15because they don't believe in like regular doctors and stuff, they don't like
- 25:18to go to the regular doctors. Chiropractors are great, and plus chiropractors are
- 25:22cheaper and you don't have to get insurance to go and see them, and
- 25:26they're like usually more affordable, and they think it's more like holistic. Okay,
- 25:30wow, I didn't know there was like such a strong connection between LDS
- 25:34or Mormons and chiropractors. Yeah. I don't know about ELDS, but I
- 25:37mean she was talking about like with the fundamentalists. Okay, all right,
- 25:41well interesting, Okay, so I but I did hear that, and that's
- 25:45interesting. I wouldn't want to be seventeen months pregnant having somebody adjusting my fucking
- 25:49spine, my palvis bones, pushing the baby down toward the vaginal canal.
- 25:56Get your hands off the quack. I've been to chiropractors. I have never
- 26:00been to one. I have been to a chiropractor for like imaging, to
- 26:03just see what was going on, and they wanted to do an adjustment,
- 26:07and I was really scared of it. Really. Yeah, but I had
- 26:11heard a story of my grandmother and so we're just sidebar in here for a
- 26:12second. My grandmother told this story of going to a chiropractor and getting like
- 26:18her hips adjusted and like weeping due to the release of pressure, like just
- 26:22like, oh my fucking god, I had no idea how much stress I
- 26:26was holding in my hips, and so I was really curious to try it
- 26:30too. But when he tried to adjust me, I was too tight and
- 26:33I wouldn't adjust, and I was anxious as well, Oh my god.
- 26:36And then I probably saw a chiropractor a couple of times after that, and
- 26:38they always wanted to do the fucking neck and the crack crack, and I'm
- 26:41like, I can't really. I was scared, and I think rightly.
- 26:45So, I mean, there's horror stories with chiropractors and how they do more
- 26:49damage than good. And some of these chiropractors are adjusting babies. I know
- 26:55they're babies. They're not together yet. There's spinal columns, now, raccoons.
- 27:00You might be seeing chiropractice regularly and totally believing that's totally fine. We're
- 27:03just ignorant. Yeah, we're ignorant. I just got scared thinking of like
- 27:07her being so fucking big and getting some crazy chiropracts. I mean, that
- 27:11is crazy. It is crazy. Moving on now, next, we have
- 27:15the Browns in pursuit of their gym. They're looking for a place to lease,
- 27:19and Codys like, we've got to find a place to lease within six
- 27:22months. We've got to be open for fucking business. So freak ridiculous,
- 27:29dude. Christine even brings it up. She's like, I'm a little nervous
- 27:32about opening up a gym when we look like this. Thank you. Somebody
- 27:36said it out loud, say I didn't want to be an asshole, but
- 27:40we were being an asshole talking about it. But like, thank you.
- 27:41That's the obvious fucking elephant in the room. No bun and dead day.
- 27:45I mean, it's like, what's you're freaking motivation with this? I mean
- 27:49I do know what the motivation is because I watched some episodes in season four
- 27:52already. Oh okay, really yeah, money, should I spoil it?
- 27:56Yeah? Well, it's Janelle brings it up, because you know we've talked
- 27:59about this before. This is Janelle's dream of opening up the gym. Well
- 28:03used to be the family's dream. Right by season four, Cody doesn't want
- 28:07to do it anymore. He thinks it's a bad idea financially, and Janelle's
- 28:11like, but I'm passionate about it now, and I think we could actually
- 28:12make it work. And Janelle's point of view with this is that they would
- 28:17open up a gym that is for people who are out of shape, like
- 28:21targeted for out of shape people. We're looking at me like that, I
- 28:26think it'd be really good for you. So I've been meaning to talk to
- 28:30you about that now. But it's like for people or out of shape where
- 28:33they could do easy exercises so that way they can get back into it.
- 28:37So it's not as intimidating and right, so kind of like a Planet Fitness
- 28:40type of thing, but like probably more geared towards people who are out of
- 28:45shape. Okay, And so they were going to call it fundamental fitness because
- 28:48they're fundamentalist, and so that's what they were going to do. And then
- 28:52Cody's just like, yeah, I don't think it's a good idea because you
- 28:55know why why Robin sister wife's closet. Okay, So here we go,
- 29:00starting the writer is jes dating. Yeah, so Robin right now is probably
- 29:03already thinking about it as all the og wives and Cody and his dumb personal
- 29:08trainer friend and Mona or whatever her name is are going to look at places.
- 29:12Robbin's probably assembling that goddamn playpen and thinking, no, you know what
- 29:17I'm in into. Yeah, I'm going to talk him into my fucked up
- 29:19jewelry. Yep, I could have a website and she does and they don't
- 29:23fucking do it. Wow, isn't that crazy? That is crazy? Okay?
- 29:27I just it's it's they're so whimsical, yeah, and impulsive total because
- 29:33they just wanted to be real estate agents. Like four or five episodes,
- 29:37what happened to that never to be spoken of again? Yeah, they bring
- 29:41it up again in season four, but it's just Christine and Janelle doing it
- 29:44because they're the only want to the fucking brain. Okay. Really, So
- 29:48I was just like, first of all, they're going in this episode,
- 29:51they're going to look at all these different places, but like they don't actually
- 29:53have an appointment to go inside and look at the premises. If they're like
- 29:57looking smith fucking window, they're just doing drive buys with this personal trainer and
- 30:02this real turn. I'm just like, why did nobody set up appointments?
- 30:06Because they don't got money because they're not serious. Yeah, how are you
- 30:08going to lease a big fucking ten thousand square foot place if you can't even
- 30:12buy yourself a property that you can all live in exactly what you say you
- 30:17want exactly And in this episode they even go and look at a plot where
- 30:21they inevitably have their cold to Sack. It was that that's the plot,
- 30:23okay, because I was wondering when they were at the Cold to Sac.
- 30:26I'm like, that kind of looks like where they ended up. That's where
- 30:29they ended up. Why they start building the Alana study the region board.
- 30:34Wow, I want to count these coins? How did these people? I
- 30:40know from this stage when they've just gotten into these rentals and they spend all
- 30:45their money to do so, and we know that just a few months ago
- 30:48they were living paycheck to paycheck and Janelle was fucking worried, and so is
- 30:52Mary. She's crying and stressed out and she's gained weight. Yea, how
- 30:55do we get from that moment in time to what less than a year in
- 30:59the future and we're already planning for the Caul de Sac houses and we're manifesting
- 31:03it. It's because Cody looks at that money, those TLC checks and he's
- 31:07like, oh my god, we're rich. We can do anything. I
- 31:10want to know how the money is dispersed in like timing wise, Like do
- 31:12they get monthly checks as TLC stars? Do they get paid after the season
- 31:17is done? Have they just gotten a bag and now they're like, well,
- 31:19we can put this money down and we can do some creative financing.
- 31:22On a call to Sack, I really wish I had the information. Oh,
- 31:26I wish we had the pay stubs because that would be that would be
- 31:30interesting if they were getting paid monthly, super interesting. Well, Cody ends
- 31:34up liking like a gym that is in a ritzy location next to a daycare,
- 31:41just further shining a light on his champagne tastes and total budget. He's
- 31:47just at ding dong, such a dummy. After this, the OG wives
- 31:51go to Robin's house to pick her up. They want to take her out
- 31:55to lunch. All the wives are making it a point to get together to
- 32:00spend time with one another. What do you think about that? It felt
- 32:04super forced and it didn't feel like natural. It felt like producer driven.
- 32:08Nobody wanted to be there. Yeah, but they were all talking about like
- 32:13berths and stuff right like they were. Christine was giving Robin good advice and
- 32:19consoling her, and she's like, you're gonna love having a home birth with
- 32:22Cody. You get to see how Grady is during birth. And I really
- 32:24felt that. And She's just talking about how he just knows all the right
- 32:28pressure points and he'll be there and he's like the most amazing person during birth,
- 32:34and I'm like, hmm. Meanwhile, fast forward to the actual birth,
- 32:37and I'm like, if he was that micromanaging of how I was breathing,
- 32:39and if he's reaching down between my legs into my vagina to touch the
- 32:44head of my baby as it's coming out of my body and saying I'm touching
- 32:46him, I would have him killed, right. I would fucking lift off
- 32:50out of that fucking bed and I would kill him with my bare hands.
- 32:53Shut the fuck, get him out of here. And why is my dad
- 32:57here? I know we're going to get there, We're going to get there.
- 33:00I'm gonna get this this fucking old dude, why is he at the
- 33:02end of the bed. China, that's her stepdad, yo, Yeah,
- 33:07that's not her actual biological father. Yeah, that is mister Sullivan, who
- 33:13her mother married after getting out of a monogamous relationship, just like Robin did.
- 33:17She married this guy and he was present for all of her births,
- 33:21looking at her cooter and catching those babies, which is so fucking weird.
- 33:24I'm sorry my mom did not have my poppy there when she gave birth to
- 33:29me or my little sister. She was like, absolutely not. Can you
- 33:31imagine your dad being present when you give birth to your baby, grunting and
- 33:38liquid spewing forth from your vaginal canal and your dad's catching your baby and your
- 33:44pop coming out? What's happening in this family? And I'm like, this
- 33:47is weird, y'all, super weird. How do you not see how weird?
- 33:51This is? Turbo weird? Don't get it? But yeah, so
- 33:54they were talking about their little stories and I thought it was kind of sweet.
- 33:59Yeah, the girls seemed to really like that Cody is very present.
- 34:02Yeah, I mean, I guess I'm annoyed. Maybe that's why Christine stayed
- 34:07for a long time too, because she held on to like the good parts
- 34:09of Cody during her birth and stuff. But I'm like, he wasn't really
- 34:13there for you, like with truly at all at all. As you told
- 34:17us a few episodes ago, he left the hospital while Christine was in her
- 34:23berthing bed and in labor giving birth and went to see Robin and gave her
- 34:28a kiss. And we're gonna talk about that episode. He wasn't there for
- 34:31herself. I don't even know. She's romanticizing things totally. The next thing
- 34:35we see after this particular scene is Christine in her home making like a gift
- 34:40for Robin. Yeah, she crossed itched a little thing for that was really
- 34:45kind of sweet. But what she said was really interesting because she called this
- 34:50kind of a peace offering because apparently she didn't treat Robin well. Yeah,
- 34:55when Robin came into the family, she says herself, Christine does that she
- 35:00was jealous, that she resented her. She also used the word mean,
- 35:05yeah, and she struggled with Robin being the favorite wife. All of the
- 35:07things that ended up being true, which Christine was intuiting well before they even
- 35:15got married. So what I thought when I was listening to her talk about
- 35:20her behavior was like, I didn't see any of this. I agree.
- 35:23I was literally talking about this with Gertie because we were watching this episode together
- 35:28and I'm like, literally all these seasons so far, I know it's on
- 35:30camera, like right, maybe okay, maybe she is mean to her off
- 35:35camera, I don't know, but all on camera, Christine seems to be
- 35:38really trying, and she seems to be genuine in her emotions. She's a
- 35:43fire sign. We know that she's an aries, so she's the only one
- 35:45that's willing to actually talk about her feelings in this fucking family. Right,
- 35:50No offense to you, Toruses, but I'm just saying it's like all of
- 35:52them just don't fucking talk about anything, right, But I haven't seen any
- 35:57kind of meanness. And I was going to talk to you about this because
- 36:00Robin is obviously taking Christine's behavior super personally, because Christine's like Robin feels like
- 36:07I don't like her and like she's not welcome in the family, and I
- 36:10never want her to feel that way. I'm just jealous, and I was
- 36:14always the last wife. I've been the last wife the last sixteen years,
- 36:16so this is an adjustment for me, and I just don't understand why Robin
- 36:21can't empathize with that, why she can't be like, oh, it's okay,
- 36:25Like why didn't she go to Christine and say you have nothing to worry
- 36:30about, Like, I'm not the favorite wife the way am, but I'm
- 36:32not the favorite wife you ever got to worry about, right, you know,
- 36:36like I'm here for you if you ever want to talk about anything.
- 36:38But I totally get your jealousy. She couldn't have done She couldn't do that,
- 36:43right, She's incapable of doing that. Everything is always a personal attack,
- 36:46right, I don't see her being able to have that kind of a
- 36:50conversation. But at the same time, I think Christine is a very emotional
- 36:53person and she's very expressive, so I can see, like when the cameras
- 36:59are off, maybe behind the scenes, her being a bit more demonstrative about
- 37:04her issues. But I don't think she was ever mean. I think,
- 37:07if anything, she more took that out on Cody. I think Cody's taking
- 37:10that bone back to Robin and stirring some stuff up with Robin. But I
- 37:15do I did catch when Christine didn't say I did something. She said Robin
- 37:22feels like I did something. Yeah, Robin feels like I did something.
- 37:25Robin feels like I didn't welcome her. Robin feels like I didn't like her,
- 37:30and so I am doing this as a peace offering, so she knows
- 37:32that I love Solomon. I am so looking forward to having, you know,
- 37:36my new son, and so this is my gift to her. But
- 37:38I was like, oh, this is so fucking interesting because I can see
- 37:40Christine maybe behaving badly, but within the realm of normal, exactly like anybody
- 37:47would feel that. And then I can see Robin taking that super fucking personal
- 37:52blowing it out of proportion and using it to victimize herself and gain Cody's sympathy.
- 37:59I mean, they're already perpetuating the narrative that she came in gap in
- 38:01hand, she didn't do anything wrong, and the wives didn't accept her,
- 38:07and it's all Christine's fault, the reason why this family broke up, right,
- 38:10And if we recall, Janelle had a problem, Yeah, Ann Mary
- 38:14had a problem. Mary was thinking about leaving the marriage, So all of
- 38:16the wives actually had a problem. So the way you brought this woman in
- 38:21was a problem to these other women and that's where the problem arises. And
- 38:23so Christine may have acted out, but like rightly, so if you ask
- 38:28me, of course, all right, let's take a quick break run some
- 38:31of these ads for Beatrice. Get our coins. Yeah, and we'll be
- 38:35back in a minute. Okay, we're back now to wrap up the Christine
- 38:40thing. She also said that she was worried that her children aren't gonna like
- 38:47Robin because of how Christine initially felt about her. Did you catch that?
- 38:52Yeah? I did. So that means she is talking to her kids probably,
- 38:55yeah, so she's probably expressing at the very least, she's pressing her
- 39:00frustration. Or they're overhearing her talks with Cody. I don't know, but
- 39:06oh yeah, stops going on all right. After this, we go over
- 39:12to Mary's house and we have Leon making a blanket for little Solomon, which
- 39:16is really cute. It is cute. And Mary is preparing the girl's room
- 39:21because remember a couple of episodes, I think it was Aurora and Isabelle isabel
- 39:27We're coming over to Mary's house to spend the night, and so Mary made
- 39:30a really beautiful room for them. But now she's creating some space in that
- 39:34room for little Solomon because she wants Solomon to come over to her house.
- 39:37I know, that's really sweet. It is kind of sweet to see Mary
- 39:40so excited about a baby, and like I feel for her she really does
- 39:45just want another baby, but I couldn't help but feel like, like Mary
- 39:50keeps bringing it up. She's like, I feel closer to Solomon than I
- 39:52did with Truly. Like I didn't have this reaction with Truly when Truly was
- 39:58born. I didn't have this connection with Christie when Truly was born. I'm
- 40:00like, that's kind of fucked up. Though. It is kind of fucked
- 40:02up, and I was thinking, are you going out of your way to
- 40:05say the song camera to hurt Christine? Yeah, because she says, like,
- 40:07I just don't have the relationship with any of the other wives that I
- 40:12have with Robin. Robin and I are really close, we talk all the
- 40:16time, and I've always wanted a sister wife relationship and I've never had it
- 40:21until Robin, which is so fucked up and it's so not nice. So
- 40:25he's saying this to the fucking camera, so she knows Janelle and Christine are
- 40:30going to see this and that they'll be hurt by it. Of course,
- 40:32this is also kind of the scene where she begins to talk about IVF and
- 40:37how Cody had brought up on their twentieth anniversary to Mexico, the possibility of
- 40:43doing IVF so she could have another child, because as we know, Mary
- 40:46has tried and she's conceived but miscarried, and so she's had a hard time
- 40:52with this. And Mary just was like, I don't see the point in
- 40:54doing it. Yeah, And when I was watching it in real time,
- 41:00I'm like, why are you talking about that? I know doesn't make any
- 41:02sense other than we're also talking about Solomon and you preparing the space for Solomon.
- 41:07But this is where I think Robin and Mary have actually already talked about
- 41:13Robin being a surrogate. Oh so this all of this shit, that's just
- 41:16the camera. It's all connected. This is what I think. I'm not
- 41:20sure, but I thought it was really sweet, and you're right, Mary
- 41:23does seem really excited. Yeah. Next scene, we go back to Robin's
- 41:29home. She's preparing for her birth and she's trying to decide whether she wants
- 41:34the water birth or to give birth in her bed. Could you even imagine?
- 41:39No? I'm like, do you put like a tarp down first or
- 41:44Chucky's pad? I'm like, you need more than that, don't you.
- 41:46I mean, I don't. It's been a while since I've given birth.
- 41:49But I think there's a lot of fluids going on, and then you've got
- 41:52the placenta and I'm like, okay, but I mean, if you want
- 41:58to do it in your bed, like, then put like a tarp down,
- 42:00yeah, put some stuff over. But no, they just put the
- 42:01chucky's down. She was saying she didn't want the water birth because she had
- 42:06done that with one of her other babies with Aurora Aurora, and she didn't
- 42:08feel very grounded. Yeah, which is interesting. It was interesting. And
- 42:13she said that the whole point of doing a home birth. She's like,
- 42:15you feel the magic of having am I really the magic of the pain and
- 42:19stuff. I don't want to feel any of that. Thank you, No,
- 42:22thank you. Give me all of the drugs. Give me the epidural.
- 42:25I told you the story of that terrible thing. God, give me
- 42:28all the demo or delouted or whatever it is that you give. I want
- 42:30to be high as fuck until the last minute when I have to be in
- 42:34pain for real. Labor fucking hurts. Yeah, it's really painful. Yeah,
- 42:38I mean Robin skipping ahead, Robin as a champ Like, She's like,
- 42:42you are so quiet, Oh my god. She gets the contraction,
- 42:45she just shuts her fucking eyes and she was I know, I know.
- 42:49When after I gave birth, my grandmother who was there, said, I've
- 42:52never known anyone who's had such a dramatic birth really, because I was fucking
- 42:57yelling hello, io, vocalizing six hours. Wow, my labor was six
- 43:02hours. My actual birth was fifteen minutes. See, my mom was like
- 43:07two hours in and outdone. Yeah, And she was like they were super
- 43:09easy, like it was painful for her, but she said they were super
- 43:14quick and easy. And I'm like, I'm looking at Robin and she's not
- 43:16screaming, not nothing, She's not even like sweating, no. And Solomon's
- 43:21like nine and a half pounds with fifteen inch head. That noggin is huge,
- 43:25and she's just like it's like breath, breathe, breath. I'm like,
- 43:30somebody kill him. Let me caress your inn, and then is don't
- 43:35touch me, you creep. Oh. Anyway, her stepfather is there,
- 43:38and this is where we hear that the stepfather has attended all of Robin's previous
- 43:43births, and I'm like, what about your mom? This is really fucking
- 43:45creepy. And so stepfather and Cody and Robin go to the next midwife appointment,
- 43:51and by this time she's two weeks overdue yep, and the midwife tells
- 43:54her it's anytime now. Yeah, And when she pulled up the shirt to
- 44:00reveal Robin's belly, I'm like, look at all those fucking stretch marks.
- 44:04Oh, look at all those fucking stretchmarks. And look, far be it
- 44:07from me, because I've got stretch marks. That's having me a baby,
- 44:09right, Yeah, you didn't have a baby, you got stretch marks?
- 44:12No, but I got stretch mark I mean people grow, yeah, people
- 44:15grow, Yeah, you can grow. No, you're growing the wrong way,
- 44:20Beatrice. But I'm like, didn't she make some fucked up comment about
- 44:24Cody doesn't mind stretch marks and the later seasons she did, Well, maybe
- 44:29that's what Cody tells her, Like you never know. Like I was watching
- 44:32this episode thinking, Okay, what if in some alternate universe, Robin did
- 44:38come into this family with good intentions? What if she's just being manipulated by
- 44:44Cody And she yeah, she wants to be the favorite wife, but she
- 44:49doesn't want to be the favorite wife at everyone else's expense because she wants Janelle's
- 44:52money and she wants the big family and she wants her porch dream, right,
- 44:57So what if Cody tells her all that fucked up shit and she he's
- 45:00just parroting it. What if she's just like the mouthpiece. I don't know.
- 45:04I'm just saying I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.
- 45:07Because the Cody that we meet in season one, he's a happy, go
- 45:08lucky, kind of helpless person who seems to be in love with his wives.
- 45:13Maybe he's putting on for the cameras, but I mean, he just
- 45:15had an air of levity about him. Yeah, a lightness of being that
- 45:19is slowly but surely starting to change. And it's changed because Robin is in
- 45:22this fucking family. Yeah, and she's more transparent than she thinks. I
- 45:27know she's she's coming off. It's very saccharin and sweet, and I think
- 45:30she thinks people are buying it at this point. It's not until later season
- 45:35she realizes that she's the villain of the show and she knows it. Yeah,
- 45:37but at this point she thinks it's working. That's true. And you
- 45:40know, Gertie was watching this and she said something crazy that I was like,
- 45:45oh, mind blown. Robin's a Libra and libras are the scales right,
- 45:49right, So the good part of a libra would be like balanced,
- 45:52diplomatic, so the shadow side is tipping the scale. Oh what if she's
- 45:58like all about What if she's really just orchestrating all of it because she likes
- 46:01the chaos. What if she's like so unbalanced and so unstable that she's just
- 46:06destroying this family because she wants to. I think she came into this family
- 46:09absolutely wanting to be a sister wife. I think her mother has modeled this
- 46:14for her by being a polygamist as well. I think she loves her stepfather,
- 46:17so she wants this for herself. I can see a world where she
- 46:22entered into this with good intentions. I think she falls for Cody Brown,
- 46:25and I think Cody Brown falls for her, yeah, so much that it
- 46:30becomes to the exclusion of the affection that he has for his other wives.
- 46:34He still loves them, he still wants them to be with him, despite
- 46:37him always saying you can leave at any time, you don't have to be
- 46:40here. But when Christine actually leaves, it's a knife in the fucking kidneys,
- 46:44right. He never expects it because he wants them to be there.
- 46:46Because he does have love for them, but he's not in love with them.
- 46:50And I think he's already not in love with them. I think he's
- 46:52already not airy with him. M I know, you think that he's still
- 46:57sexually pleased sing Mary see her downstairs. I don't think so, really no,
- 47:02because I think I think Mary's unhappy. I mean, yeah, she
- 47:06looks hell unhappy. She looks desperate. She's stressed. Yeah, the personal
- 47:10trainers lecturing her because she's stressed, and she stressed about money. She's stressed
- 47:15about the kids. She's stressed about being separate yea, and not being a
- 47:19vital part of what's happening with the other families. So she's not happy.
- 47:22Yeah, she is not happy, but yike. Yeah. So I don't
- 47:25know. I just I don't think. I think Robin's motivations changed once she
- 47:31fell in love deeply with Cody. Then she wanted him for herself and only
- 47:37her, Yeah, and then she started doing these manipulations on a grander and
- 47:40grander scale. And I think I think Christine knew from the beginning. I
- 47:45think Janelle knew from the beginning, oh totally. The only one that didn't
- 47:47was Mary. Mary. I think Mary wanted to believe oh totally, and
- 47:52Robin knew that and manipulated Mary and being her best. I think Mary definitely
- 47:57well we already know from the book, but Mary had conflict with Janelle and
- 48:01conflict with Christine. They fought deep, bad fights. Yeah, and so
- 48:06she was not close with those women, and so I think she considered Robin
- 48:09to be an ally and almost wanted to not gang up on the other girls.
- 48:14But like, look, I've got a friendship, We're super close.
- 48:15This is the power situation, the power couple, me and her. I
- 48:20think that's what she wanted. I mean, it makes sense she needed to
- 48:23have somebody, right, she doesn't have fucking Cody. She does Jane.
- 48:27No, it is not going to last long. Mary. Then we have
- 48:31I guess it was October twenty fifth. At ten fifteen, Robin starts going
- 48:37into labor. Yeah, I'm not sure how long she's in labor. So
- 48:40Solomon was either born on the twenty fifth or the twenty sixth, making him
- 48:45a scorpio. Yeah, twenty sixth scorpio. But we walk with her through
- 48:51her labor, and as we said, she was very quiet, and she
- 48:53was bearing it with a lot of grays, Yeah, Cody was annoying as
- 48:58fun her creepies father is hanging out looking at the couch and I'm like an
- 49:02old man. My god. Cody calls Mary. Mary comes over as she's
- 49:07in labor to bring a camera, to bring a camera, and then Cody
- 49:15escorts her out and gives her a kiss and right the music. So,
- 49:20okay, I'm supposed to be paying attention, I guess. And this is
- 49:22where Cody spins it to say, this is a loving moment. This is
- 49:29for our whole family, even though Robin is giving birth to my child.
- 49:31It's about the family. I love Mary, and so I'm I'm expressing myself
- 49:36in this way. That's what we do. And then he says, and
- 49:38this is exactly what I did. Yeah, when Christine was in labor and
- 49:43I went over to check on Robin and I had to kiss her. He
- 49:45says, I had to kiss her, Yeah, just to share the love,
- 49:49because the more love the better. And I'm like, no, the
- 49:51difference between your kiss with Robin your kiss with Mary right here was that you
- 49:55actively left the hospital while your wife was labor to go visit Robin for nothing,
- 50:01nothing ever, a kiss. That was why you did it. Mary
- 50:06came over to bring a camera, which is what you needed, and then
- 50:08you kissed her goodbye. Right, that's fun. Didn't vacate the premises exactly.
- 50:13You were there the entire time. The holt almost as if this has
- 50:15been a motherfucking issue the entire time since Truly's birth. This maybe feels like
- 50:22the main problem Christine has is that you left me while I was in the
- 50:25hospital, which none of these women want to be in. Yeah, they
- 50:28all would prefer to be at home with a midwife as opposed to a hospital.
- 50:31So I'm I've got all these wires hooked up to me. I'm anxious.
- 50:35And you decide that's when you're going to leave and go see Robin.
- 50:37And I see on camera, like I watched the show, and I see
- 50:42you kissing her and you're engaged and you're not supposed to be fucking kissing her.
- 50:45Yeah that And so I think in this moment with Mary, he's trying
- 50:49to spin it, oh totally, because he's gotten probably a lot of hell
- 50:52from Christine for it, oh totally, and probably a lot of help from
- 50:54fans and shit too. I'm sure he's been seeing the stuff that people were
- 50:59saying back then, and even online back then, it wasn't Facebook big back
- 51:02then. It's yes, good lord, were you alive in twenty Yeah,
- 51:07you don't remember that for yourself? Oh my god? Really, yeah,
- 51:12shut up? I was young, Holy cow. Okay, but yeah,
- 51:15he's just totally framing it to his benefit because he knows how he looks,
- 51:20and he knows that Christine was mad about it, and he's justifying it.
- 51:22Right. It's fine. I was just given her a kiss. I feel
- 51:25like that was planned. I do. I do as well. I think
- 51:28that it was all just pr for him. Um. We go back into
- 51:34the birthing room and she ultimately gives birth to Solomon. And I don't know.
- 51:37I don't know why it is. I don't care who it is.
- 51:40Did you cry? I cried. There's anytime anybody gives birth or gets married,
- 51:45I cry, Oh my god. And I'm like, I don't like
- 51:47this woman. I don't like this man. He's in fact, actively annoying
- 51:51me with all of this talking and touching. But as soon as Solomon's born,
- 51:54him crying. Yeah. And then the hunter comes over, and Leon
- 51:58comes over, all the children hold the baby and I'm crying yeah. And
- 52:01the Hunter actually smiles and like smiles at Robin, and I'm like, oh
- 52:07my god, I'm crying. I was really did you see Janelle was there?
- 52:10Yes, she did end up coming over yet, even though she told
- 52:14Robin, I'm super excited that Solomon's coming, but don't expect me to be
- 52:17there in the middle of the night. And you could see Robin's face when
- 52:20she said that on the couch. Yeah, and all of a sudden there
- 52:23and it's like two in the morning. Then why do you think that is?
- 52:27Yeah, because she bitched about it, and I think so, Yeah,
- 52:29I'm sure she bitched about it to Cody, and then Cody was like,
- 52:31you need to show up, okay, like just show up and bringing
- 52:35the kids. Welle, Mary came, and Christine came, everybody came.
- 52:37So it's like Janelle's like, okay, I guess I'll come. Well,
- 52:43but did you notice how Robin introduced the subject of Hunter again, Yeah,
- 52:47and drew attention to how Hunter has been aloof with her a bit dismissive,
- 52:53with her seemingly not that happy that she's in the family, and she says,
- 53:00she's commenting on this in this episode, that this has been very hurtful
- 53:02to me. Yeah, but maybe in this moment with Solomon here, he's
- 53:07the brother to everyone. Solomon's here, now, maybe this will unite the
- 53:12family. And I'm thinking, bitch, this is a fourteen year old boy
- 53:16who grew up in Utah, who's already living in kind of adverse fucking conditions,
- 53:22and he's going through changes all the fucking time. You picked him up,
- 53:25moved him to Vegas, put him in a new high school. Yeah.
- 53:29Now he's got a new sibling coming, and he's got a new mom
- 53:31coming in. Like, why are you even highlighting his behavior? It's perfectly
- 53:36normal. Yeah, but making yourself into a victim constant. As a result
- 53:42of his response to this, she reminded me of my stepmom in this moment,
- 53:45because my stepmom acted like that when she married my dad. Because when
- 53:50my parents got divorced and was messy, and my sister and I were angsty
- 53:52teenagers. Yeah, we weren't really happy about it. Lots of things were
- 53:57going on at home, and every time we would visit over there, we
- 54:00would have some attitude. But it wasn't anything like Nega. It wasn't super
- 54:04bad. It was just teenage kids going through transitions. Sh She used to
- 54:08give us lectures, She used to take us separately in bedrooms and be like,
- 54:12you're acting really mean to me and it's hurting my feelings and you need
- 54:15to really fix your behavior or you can no longer visit us on Christmases and
- 54:21what birthdays and yeah, like she and totally always made herself to be a
- 54:25victim, even though we had just moved out of state. We were separated,
- 54:30like our parents broke up and then we had two blended families mixing up
- 54:35because my mom got with my stepdad, my dad got with my stepmom,
- 54:37all this change, and you can't just like give me understand das, like
- 54:42give me a season to China adjust and accommodate. Yeah, And so Robin
- 54:46really pissed me off right there, because I'm like, it's not about you,
- 54:50right, it is not about you. You have twenty thousand kids in
- 54:52this house. All of them are going to have their own perspectives, their
- 54:55own feelings about all of this. And you know Hunter has been struggling with
- 55:00all of this shit, with the move everything. You know this from Janelle,
- 55:06and Janelle has been saying she's worried about Hunter, right, and yet
- 55:08you just make it apparent you're calling it out boo who like he's not treating
- 55:13me well, yeah, like yeah, I just was like, grow up,
- 55:15Robin, serious for kids that are going through stuff, and like you
- 55:17should really be thinking about how you can be there for them and make their
- 55:22transition easier and like be a little gracious. But she can't do it because
- 55:25that's the nark in her totally fucking narc So at some point toward the end
- 55:30of this episode again this is the season finale of season three, Robin asks
- 55:36Cody to get everybody out of the room. She wants to have a private
- 55:38conversation with Mary. So everybody leaves, and Mary's holding Solomon and you can
- 55:44tell Mary's just to live with Solomon in the whole moment, and it's like,
- 55:46oh my god, this is awesome. And this is where Robin tearfully
- 55:51says that she wants to offer her body as a Surah Gate tempo to Mary.
- 55:58And you know, I want to root for Robin. Sometimes I felt
- 56:04like in that moment, like, you know, a kind and decent person
- 56:08would maybe think about offering something like that, But I kept thinking to myself
- 56:13and my cold dead mind and heart I'm like, yeah, but she's taking
- 56:17another opportunity, isn't she to highlight how Mary is deficient and unable to bring
- 56:24to term her own baby. I'm like, it's still fucking insidious and awful.
- 56:29It's fucking weird to me. I was kind of weirded out, like
- 56:31aet birst. I was like, Okay, that's a big thing to say
- 56:35right after you give birth. I mean, who's thinking about me? I
- 56:37just had a kid and I'm thinking about getting implanted with another kid. I
- 56:40mean that's crazy. And your hormones are like all out of whack when you
- 56:44just give birth too. So I'm like, okay, well maybe she means
- 56:46it. But then she had the fake tears and I'm just like, okay,
- 56:51so this is just you're just making Mary feel bad, and you guys
- 56:53obviously talked about it before Mary kind of tear. It looks like she gets
- 56:58a little weepy, but like, I wouldn't want that. At the up
- 57:02point, Leon's fifteen sixteen at this point, and Mary has already said she
- 57:07doesn't want to do IVF, Like why would she want to do surgazy?
- 57:09Right? How old is Mary here? She like forty? Maybe? Like
- 57:13I think she's like thirty five ory six, because I thought, oh my
- 57:15gosh, well how old is she now thinks she's fifty two, so maybe
- 57:19she isn't think she's like forty or something like that. So yeah, I
- 57:22think that she's probably gone beyond maybe wanting to have a little child. And
- 57:27I'm just I gotta believe that she's tired of hearing this bullshit. I mean,
- 57:32right about how she can't have a child, and Robin seems really fucking
- 57:37fixated, like Vanessa Lasche on having children. Even in this episode, she's
- 57:40like, my body was built and designed by God to carry children. This
- 57:45is why I'm here. I know how to do this. I don't need
- 57:46a hospital. That's like, she places that in terms of value, in
- 57:52the highest position for a woman, and so I feel like she trots it
- 57:55out over and over to demean Mary and her own womanhood. I'm shut off.
- 58:00Even though it's very kind, it's very sweet, I guess, and
- 58:04maybe most people thought at the time, Wow, Ramin is so awesome,
- 58:07But I'm like, no, see right through it, because you can tell
- 58:12Mary's uncomfortable every time the subject of kids is even brought up. Because even
- 58:15when they were all at lunch together and they were talking about their births,
- 58:19and Christine and Janelle were dominating the conversation because they had all the babies.
- 58:22You know, Mary's like, well, I only had one, so and
- 58:27I don't even really remember she was talking about it. Yeah, it's like
- 58:30self effacing. Yeah, probably uncomfortable laughter totally. But I think Robin likes
- 58:36making Mary feel like that because it's the way that she can wrap Mary around
- 58:39her finger and make her think that I'm just this, I'm so nice,
- 58:45I'm just only thinking of you. It's all just coming from a good place
- 58:49because I love you so much and you're infertile. You I don't know.
- 58:52But if it were me and you and we're friends and I'm saying that to
- 58:55you like all the fucking time, aren't you thinking in your mind, like,
- 58:59why does this bitch keep saying that, Oh, I would tell you
- 59:00to shut the fuck. You would tell me I wouldn't fuck up, and
- 59:02I'd be like, oh fuck, But like, wouldn't you be saying to
- 59:06yourself, why is this person bringing this painful part of my experience up over
- 59:09and over and over again and doing it under the guise of being my friend
- 59:13wouldn't you be wondering why? Yeah, but Mary also gets catfished by some
- 59:17lesbian when she's stuff. I'm almost inclined to think that she knew that that
- 59:27was a I don't think so. Well. Did you see his picture though,
- 59:30the person she thought she was talking to, Sam, Yeah, it's
- 59:35a very young and handsome person. Yeah. And Mary's so naive and so
- 59:38like easily swayed. I don't know, but sometimes I think she's got a
- 59:43head for business, Like she knows how to run her business. She's very
- 59:45successful in this way. But I mean, all the Browns are stupid.
- 59:49They're all stupid, dumb, and you can be a smart business woman,
- 59:52would be dumb in relationships and personal relationship and married to Cody, right,
- 59:55And she's been putting up with this until last year. Yeah, she had
- 59:59to see that fucking um tell all with Chicina Glory Cloud Shamba Lalla. She
- 1:00:05had to see that fucking tell all to realize, Oh, this guy doesn't
- 1:00:07like me at all. He doesn't just not want to be married to me,
- 1:00:12he doesn't like me. Yeah, and has it for a year.
- 1:00:15Yes, she had to see that with her own two eyes. And still
- 1:00:19she had to draw it out, so sad. Yeah, just get some
- 1:00:22self respect, get some well hopefully she is Natie. All she needs to
- 1:00:25do, Beatrice is find her a real partner, man or woman. Find
- 1:00:31somebody who will pay attention to her, who want to go fucking antiquing with
- 1:00:37her, or to the farmer's market with her, who has interests in common
- 1:00:40with her, who wants to love up on her body? Like fine,
- 1:00:46I mean, I think I feel like her mind is going to be blown.
- 1:00:49She's been with Coldy Brown since she was what nineteen? Yeah, she's
- 1:00:52been never run with me, I would imagine, except I mean catfish.
- 1:00:55She has never been with another person. Well, and I thought about that.
- 1:01:00Did they lose their virginity together? I think so, yes, they
- 1:01:02must have. They were going to their celestial planet in the sky. They
- 1:01:08were saving them. So she's never been with anybody else. Of course,
- 1:01:13she has like stayed faithful and loyal and connected to Cody Brown. But like
- 1:01:17the first fucking biker dude with oh ya dick and b who blows her fucking
- 1:01:24back out and makes her cry for more, it is gonna change her life,
- 1:01:30or the first lesbian goes down and shows her what's up. Because I
- 1:01:35don't see Cody eating a lot of box Oh, no, not at all.
- 1:01:37I don't see him eating a lot of balls. The first woman who
- 1:01:40teaches her a thing aren't two. I mean, it's going to blow her
- 1:01:43mind. I want that for her soul bad. What have I been doing
- 1:01:45for thirty years with this bitch boy? Seriously? Has she ever been satisfied
- 1:01:51by him? Probably? I don't know. Mormant's believe in sex toys and
- 1:01:58unhappy don't know. I mean, I don't know. Do they all wear
- 1:02:00their Mormon Maybe they could get their Mormon underwear and have like a vibrator Pilton,
- 1:02:06you know what I'm saying, like a bullet or a little bullet,
- 1:02:09like just like in a little bit of a thingue right there in the Mormon
- 1:02:12under Yeah, control doubt they do that. They probably don't. Don't think
- 1:02:16they value that. So I just want Mary to get some life experience God
- 1:02:21and to maybe she can learn from Christie's in the past. Maybe. I
- 1:02:25mean, it seems like I hope Christine's open to Mary. I don't know
- 1:02:29why, but I root for Mary. I do too. I feel for
- 1:02:31her for her, I think she's a broken person. Yeah, and I
- 1:02:36think she's on her bullshit a lot, totally LM bullshit and fucking platitudes on
- 1:02:39ig and I roll my eyes and I'm like, shut the fuck up.
- 1:02:43But I root for her low key, yeah, because I want her to
- 1:02:45have a life. And it seems like she's going to London, She's going
- 1:02:47to Disneyland. Yeah, she's experiencing stuff with her friends, but like just
- 1:02:51a real romance, like I'm hoping that Christina is having with David. I
- 1:02:55hope I want that. That's what we want for Well, we have made
- 1:03:02our way through another season. Season three is now in the can my friend.
- 1:03:07Yeah, we're onto season four of Sister Wives now. Beatrice and I
- 1:03:10are in discussion as to whether we are going to continue to cover Sister Wives
- 1:03:15Rewind on the main pod or whether we're going to put it over there in
- 1:03:20our Patreon because of course, the new season of Sister Wives is starting in
- 1:03:24just a couple of weeks. Yeah, we haven't made a final decision about
- 1:03:29that. As soon as we know, we will let you be the first
- 1:03:31to know. Are you getting of course on the Instagram and let you know.
- 1:03:35But it just seems like it would be a lot to be doing Sister
- 1:03:37Wives Current and then Sister Wives rewind all in the same week. Yeah,
- 1:03:40it might be a lot with Temptation Island in there and all. That's about
- 1:03:45to end too in August. But you want to watch that show where they're
- 1:03:47making out with cars and stuff? My strength addictions still addicted. I can't
- 1:03:52even watch the preview of that. And so you've got another car girl for
- 1:04:00and he's actually got multiple car part I can't believe these are real people.
- 1:04:02Yeah, but I can't believe this is real. He's an object um sexual.
- 1:04:06It's what he says, object him sexual. Yeah, so he's only
- 1:04:11sexually attracted to objects, specifically cars. Well, maybe we'll put that in
- 1:04:16the roster. I'm not sure. It's pretty funny. We could do reactions
- 1:04:19to that. At least we could definitely do reaction because it's so ridiculous.
- 1:04:24And if you're all that eats toilet paper? What toilet paper? What she
- 1:04:29eats toilet paper? I can't with people like this marinated in laundry detergent.
- 1:04:32I mean, say I had a habit where I like ate what marinated the
- 1:04:38laundry intergent? Are you kidding me? She puts the toilet paper in a
- 1:04:42showdered laundry. I don't know, dude. To me, it's like if
- 1:04:45I had a strange addiction and I realized it was toxic and bad for me,
- 1:04:48Like I would be maybe tempted to do it, but I would like
- 1:04:51at some point not participate in the addiction anymore. Right, I would stop
- 1:04:56making out with the tailpiper, I would stop fucking eating and toilet paper or
- 1:05:01couch cushions. There are people that eat that shit. Wow, wild to
- 1:05:06me, Okay, I don't know if I can stomach a show like that.
- 1:05:10I think it's hilarious, but I'll watch it. It's like the poop
- 1:05:13toilet on Harders. I just think it's I mean, it's fascinating, but
- 1:05:15I don't know if I can put up with it. That is that it's
- 1:05:18just people eating weird stuff. Okay, well drinking urine? Oh god.
- 1:05:26Well, we will definitely announce our change in schedule because I think Sister Wives,
- 1:05:30hopefully fucking Discovery Plus will release that on a Sunday, so we can
- 1:05:33talk about it on a Sunday and release on a Monday or on Sunday if
- 1:05:38you're on padreon um, and then maybe have another show that we're covering during
- 1:05:43the week as well, but we're not sure, so as soon as we
- 1:05:45know, we will let you know, yes the show. What I do
- 1:05:47know is that we will be back on Monday to talk about Temptation Island.
- 1:05:51We've got two episodes to go over, a lot to say about these fools
- 1:05:56and these hoes on that damn island of my birth. By the way,
