0:21
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to deal with it. I know
0:24
Speaker 1: it's just me. I'm cool too, though, but Delia is
0:28
Speaker 1: still recovering from her surgery that she had a couple
0:31
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so she's okay. I don't want anybody to
0:34
Speaker 1: worry about her or anything like that, but she just
0:36

Speaker 1: Forces by myself. This horseshit, So you're just gonna deal
0:49
Speaker 1: with it. It's gonna be a little bit of a
0:51
Speaker 1: different vibe. I'm sorry about that, but you're stuck with me. Okay,

1:42
Speaker 1: let's get into this shit. Okay, Special Forces. So we're
1:46
Speaker 1: on season four, episode seven. We haven't really covered this
1:50
Speaker 1: show like too rigidly the last couple weeks, really because
1:54
Speaker 1: Cody hasn't been on it, and like neither of us
1:56
Speaker 1: are really that interested in the rest of the characters
1:59
Speaker 1: or the re of the show for that matter. But
2:02
Speaker 1: this week it was a very Cody centric episode, so
2:05
Speaker 1: of course we have to talk about it. And it
2:07
Speaker 1: was so infuriating because Cody is just completely performing, like
2:12
Speaker 1: he's just putting on a show for everybody, trying to
2:16
Speaker 1: act like he's on some redemption arc in his life
2:19
Speaker 1: and trying to take accountability, and I hate it. It's
2:23
Speaker 1: so fake, it's so inauthentic, and I don't believe a
2:26
Speaker 1: single thing that he says, Like I don't even believe
2:28
Speaker 1: his tears that he's crying later in this episode. It's
2:30
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. So I want to get I won't get
2:34
Speaker 1: into all of the details of the episode because quite frankly,
2:37
Speaker 1: I don't remember them. But we have like six people
2:40
Speaker 1: left on the show. It's only been about a week.
2:45
Speaker 1: We lost like two people in this episode for medical reasons.
2:48
Speaker 1: They just left, like one of them had a cough,
2:50
Speaker 1: couldn't do any of the other exercises. One guy his
2:53
Speaker 1: ear hurt so he had to go see an E
2:55
Speaker 1: and T surgeon and he had to leave. And so
2:57
Speaker 1: now we have six people that remain. And then we
3:00
Speaker 1: have this like hostage scenario thing that they do where
3:08
Speaker 1: they're all in pairs and the purpose of this exercise
3:14
Speaker 1: is to rescue a hostage in a building that is
3:18
Speaker 1: about to explode in two minutes or less. And also,
3:23
Speaker 1: in addition to rescuing that hostage, you have to grab
3:27
Speaker 1: a critical asset, which is just like a suitcase in
3:30
Speaker 1: this building that's about to explode, and So we start
3:33
Speaker 1: off with Cody and as partner, I forget her name.
3:36
Speaker 1: She's some Olympic gymnast or whatever. And Cody completely messes
3:43
Speaker 1: up the entire course, which I love that for him.
3:46
Speaker 1: I love to watch him fail. Maybe that makes me
3:48
Speaker 1: a terrible person. I don't give a fuck, but like
3:51
Speaker 1: I love to watch him flounder and fail. So they
3:55
Speaker 1: get into this burning building and Cody immediately like a
4:00
Speaker 1: bandons his partner. He's like not communicating with her whatsoever.
4:04
Speaker 1: He's flailing around. He doesn't know what he's doing, he
4:07
Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's looking for. He's trying to find
4:09
Speaker 1: the hostage because he thinks that that's the most important thing.
4:12
Speaker 1: But then they have to like go through a portion
4:14
Speaker 1: of the building that's like filled with smoke, and he
4:17
Speaker 1: has to put like a gas mask on and he
4:19
Speaker 1: finds a hostage. He doesn't put a gas mask on
4:22
Speaker 1: the hostage, and then he also doesn't give a shit
4:26
Speaker 1: about his partner, who is just trying to figure out
4:29
Speaker 1: what the hell Cody is doing. Like Cody again is
4:31
Speaker 1: not communicating anything. He grabs a hostage, doesn't put a
4:35
Speaker 1: gas mask on him, so he essentially doesn't care about
4:38
Speaker 1: this hostage's life, and Cody forgets about the critical asset,
4:42
Speaker 1: forgets about his partner. He straight up leaves the building
4:45
Speaker 1: with his fake hostage and leaves his partner behind. Doesn't
4:49
Speaker 1: even know where she's at. She's trying to find the
4:51
Speaker 1: critical asset. She misses the time limit or something. I think,
4:55
Speaker 1: the building fake explodes and she failed the test as well.
4:59
Speaker 1: And she gets out of the building to find Cody
5:03
Speaker 1: outside with the hostage without her, and she was like,
5:06
Speaker 1: what the fuck, dude, Like you left me in there,
5:09
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, sorry about it. I totally failed. Sorry,
5:13
Speaker 1: I didn't communicate. And she's like, yeah, you fucking think.
5:15
Speaker 1: And then Cody and his partner get yelled at by
5:19
Speaker 1: the staff. And I did enjoy Cody getting yelled at.
5:22
Speaker 1: That was great. And they just basically tell him that
5:24
Speaker 1: he was a total failure because that he is, and
5:27
Speaker 1: that he didn't communicate and that he sucks big fat
5:33
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, but that's essentially what they said to him,
5:35
Speaker 1: and I did enjoy that. And then we have some
5:39
Speaker 1: little scenes here and there throughout the episode where you
5:42
Speaker 1: see some of the other contestants kind of talking shit
5:45
Speaker 1: about Cody and like how they think he's really annoying
5:49
Speaker 1: and he just talks a lot and he makes everything
5:51
Speaker 1: about himself, and I did enjoy that. I loved seeing
5:54
Speaker 1: some of those scenes of people just being like, Oh,
5:57
Speaker 1: this guy again, he sucks so bad, and like even
6:01
Speaker 1: this staff doesn't really like Cody. Like Cody. There's a
6:05
Speaker 1: scene where he has to go request like more toilet
6:08
Speaker 1: paper or something from the staff, and the staff guys
6:11
Speaker 1: are like, oh, that fucking I think they called him
6:14
Speaker 1: like a naked mule rat or something like this guy again,
6:17
Speaker 1: he's so weird, like and they called him an old guy,
6:20
Speaker 1: which I did appreciate too. That was pretty funny. So
6:23
Speaker 1: I did like seeing some of the other people on
6:26
Speaker 1: the show express their distaste for Cody, because I hope
6:33
Speaker 1: that Cody like watches that back and feels a little
6:37
Speaker 1: narcissistic injury to him to his ego. I hope he
6:41
Speaker 1: cries about it. Again. I know that makes me a
6:44
Speaker 1: terrible person, but like, Cody needs a taste of his
6:47
Speaker 1: own medicine. Like he said some of the most heinous,
6:50
Speaker 1: awful shit about his own family for season upon season
6:55
Speaker 1: upon season on Sister Wives, So like, you deserve a
6:58
Speaker 1: little bit coming back at you, you know what I mean.
7:00
Speaker 1: And so it's obvious that the rest of the people
7:03
Speaker 1: on the show, they're really not liking having to like
7:08
Speaker 1: hang out with this guy. They don't like Cody. They
7:10
Speaker 1: think he's annoying, and I love that. I love that
7:12
Speaker 1: for me. And then we have somebody who asks Cody
7:16
Speaker 1: at one point, like the pros and cons of his lifestyle,
7:19
Speaker 1: meaning polygamy, Like what were the pros and cons of
7:22
Speaker 1: living that life? And Cody's like, well, you know, I
7:25
Speaker 1: had eighteen children with four women, so it was a lot.
7:29
Speaker 1: There was a lot of jealousy and a lot of
7:31
Speaker 1: like competition and everything. But he would never do it again.
7:35
Speaker 1: He would never marry again. And I just wanted to
7:37
Speaker 1: highlight this because he said this with his own words,
7:40
Speaker 1: that he will never marry again and never live this
7:42
Speaker 1: lifestyle again. Keep in mind, we're on season twenty of
7:47
Speaker 1: Sister Wives, and like we still have this running narrative
7:50
Speaker 1: of like they might do polygamy again, but no, they're
7:55
Speaker 1: just scared because they can't get a guarantee. But like,
7:58
Speaker 1: Cody's a monogamous And then we of Cody telling Robin
8:01
Speaker 1: he got an email from a woman who wants to
8:03
Speaker 1: be in their life as a Sister Wives like miss
8:06
Speaker 1: me with this, it's obvious you don't want to be
8:08
Speaker 1: in this lifestyle ever again because you fucking failed at it, Cody.
8:12
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I just I didn't like that comment.
8:16
Speaker 1: Cody also in his talking head in regards to this
8:19
Speaker 1: conversation about the pros and cons about polygamy, he says
8:23
Speaker 1: that there ended up being some bad blood with some
8:27
Speaker 1: of the family after the divorces, and in some cases
8:31
Speaker 1: with my children, communication has ceased, So that was interesting
8:36
Speaker 1: for him to admit to that. I know he's kind
8:40
Speaker 1: of like he's alluded to it on Sister Wives, but
8:43
Speaker 1: like he doesn't get into enough about it on Sister
8:46
Speaker 1: Wives to like have an actual good discussion about it,
8:49
Speaker 1: so he mentions it on Special Forces, and Cody says
8:53
Speaker 1: that it's a disappointment to not be in contact with
8:58
Speaker 1: some of his kids, with all of his kids, but
9:00
Speaker 1: there's some things he just won't own. He'll own where
9:05
Speaker 1: he should, but he won't own certain things with his kids,
9:09
Speaker 1: meaning he won't take full responsibility for his bullshit, for
9:14
Speaker 1: how he treated the wives, how he treated his children,
9:17
Speaker 1: how he favored Robin and her children. And I just
9:21
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting that he had the balls to
9:26
Speaker 1: say something like that on National TV because he's saying
9:29
Speaker 1: it essentially to his children that may be watching him
9:33
Speaker 1: on this show right now, Because I know, I think
9:36
Speaker 1: Gabe is covering this show. At least he was at
9:40
Speaker 1: the beginning, like when it first aired, he was saying
9:42
Speaker 1: that he was going to react to some of the
9:44
Speaker 1: episodes of his dad being on this show. I haven't
9:48
Speaker 1: watched any of his coverage about it, so I don't
9:50
Speaker 1: know anything that he's said or what his thoughts are
9:53
Speaker 1: about it. But like, you know, some of your kids
9:55
Speaker 1: are watching this code and so for you to say
9:57
Speaker 1: something like there's just some things I won't own is
10:00
Speaker 1: really fucked up. It's really fucked up as a parent.
10:02
Speaker 1: And like I've talked about this on the pod, Like again,
10:06
Speaker 1: like I have my own issues with some of my family, Okay,
10:09
Speaker 1: I'm a child of like some dysfunctional things, Okay, And
10:16
Speaker 1: if my parent said some shit like that on TV, dude,
10:20
Speaker 1: I would be so no contact. And I'm also the
10:22
Speaker 1: type where I would call my parent up and I'd
10:23
Speaker 1: be like fuck you, you suck, Like I can't believe
10:27
Speaker 1: you fucking said that shit, because it's just so like
10:30
Speaker 1: it's so selfish, it's so narcissistic, and it's so I
10:35
Speaker 1: don't know, like irresponsible, Like your kids are hurting. You know,
10:39
Speaker 1: your kids are hurting because of how the family broke
10:41
Speaker 1: up and how you mishandled everything, and they're hurting because
10:46
Speaker 1: like you just don't care. You don't care that you're
10:48
Speaker 1: not in contact with a lot of your children. Yeah,
10:51
Speaker 1: you're saying it's a disappointment on Special Forces, but like,
10:54
Speaker 1: are you doing anything about it? Are you on their
10:57
Speaker 1: doorstep like Robin says you should be, Are you calling them?
11:00
Speaker 1: Are you trying to reach out, Are you trying to
11:02
Speaker 1: say I'm sorry? Are you trying to tell them that
11:05
Speaker 1: you love them? No, Like you can't even remember all
11:07
Speaker 1: of your kids's birthdays. You can't even call them to
11:09
Speaker 1: say happy birthday, which is crazy, So like, I don't
11:13
Speaker 1: know it. Cody's saying this really pissed me off, and
11:16
Speaker 1: it gets worse throughout the episode because then he ends
11:20
Speaker 1: up getting pulled into questioning with the staff and you know,
11:24
Speaker 1: we have these moments throughout every single episode and like
11:28
Speaker 1: the whole purpose of like being called into Questioning, right
11:31
Speaker 1: is to be called out on your shit and to
11:35
Speaker 1: dig deep, right, Like that's the theme of the show,
11:39
Speaker 1: is to really test your limits and break your ego basically,
11:44
Speaker 1: And so you would think that something like this would
11:46
Speaker 1: be effective for Cody, but no, he's a narcissist. So
11:50
Speaker 1: you can't really dig deep with somebody and you can't
11:52
Speaker 1: really break a narcissistic's ego. So when they pull them
11:57
Speaker 1: into Questioning, they first talk about it in the context
12:01
Speaker 1: of the show. So they're like, why are you here?
12:04
Speaker 1: What you're calling? Why do you even want to be here?
12:07
Speaker 1: It's like, why are you here? We don't want you here?
12:10
Speaker 1: And Cody says he, you know, he wants to be challenged.
12:13
Speaker 1: He's happy to be here actually, and he knows that
12:17
Speaker 1: he failed on the course, but he'll do better again. Coach,
12:21
Speaker 1: I'll try again, Coach, I'll be better, I promise. But
12:25
Speaker 1: then it gets into a conversation about his family life.
12:29
Speaker 1: And this felt very, very produced to me, Like I
12:33
Speaker 1: didn't find anything that Cody said to be authentic, to
12:37
Speaker 1: be genuine, or to be coming from a real place whatsoever.
12:40
Speaker 1: But they bring up his like family, it's the producers,
12:46
Speaker 1: not sorry not the producers, but the staff are trying
12:49
Speaker 1: to pretend like they don't know who he is and
12:52
Speaker 1: like they don't know his past. I feel like most
12:54
Speaker 1: people know who Cody Brown is, but like I digress,
12:58
Speaker 1: not everybody can be a rakou and a dumpster apparently,
13:01
Speaker 1: But they ask him, like what his calling and Cody's like, well,
13:06
Speaker 1: it was to be a husband and a father, like
13:08
Speaker 1: I had four wives, I have all of these children.
13:11
Speaker 1: And the staff pretend to be shocked by that, and
13:14
Speaker 1: then Cody says like there was a lot of accusations
13:17
Speaker 1: of favoritism and a lot of jealousy and a lot
13:20
Speaker 1: of things that like broke up my family. And then
13:22
Speaker 1: he goes on this like tangent about how he feels
13:25
Speaker 1: like his kids rejected him, Like what are we living
13:33
Speaker 1: on the same planet right now? You think your kids
13:35
Speaker 1: rejected you, bro you rejected them, it's the other way around.
13:40
Speaker 1: Like how can you be so offended by your children
13:42
Speaker 1: being hurt by your actions? I just don't understand. He
13:46
Speaker 1: is so fucking delusional. So he said that he feels
13:49
Speaker 1: like his kids rejected him. He was offended by what
13:53
Speaker 1: they did because he gave them all he had and
13:56
Speaker 1: gave them all the reciprocation that they needed. What are
14:02
Speaker 1: we serious right now? You're going to act like you
14:05
Speaker 1: were the father of the Year, and you're offended because
14:09
Speaker 1: your children don't want to talk to you because you
14:11
Speaker 1: chose Robin and her children over the rest of the
14:15
Speaker 1: family that you built up and you brought up. Like, dude,
14:19
Speaker 1: you're completely delusional. And like even the staff kind of
14:22
Speaker 1: tried to call him out on this because they can
14:24
Speaker 1: even see through his narcissism. And one of the staff guys,
14:29
Speaker 1: I don't remember their names, Okay, so don't come for me.
14:31
Speaker 1: But like one of the staff guys asks if Cody
14:35
Speaker 1: is truly taking full responsibility for what had happened, and
14:40
Speaker 1: Cody says, well, I don't really want to admit that
14:43
Speaker 1: I'm wrong sometimes, which we have been saying on the
14:47
Speaker 1: pod since like season seventeen, that like Cody refuses to
14:52
Speaker 1: be wrong, he refuses to be blamed for anything, Like
14:55
Speaker 1: he genuinely thinks he's the victim in this entire scenario.
14:59
Speaker 1: He does not take any accountability whatsoever, and here it
15:03
Speaker 1: is him admitting it on Special Forces, and he does
15:07
Speaker 1: say something like, well, I should have had a stronger
15:09
Speaker 1: relationship with my kids. Okay, well you could try to
15:12
Speaker 1: do that now, You could try to do that right now.
15:15
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're just gonna lose all of your children because
15:18
Speaker 1: you refuse to take ownership for your shit and for
15:22
Speaker 1: being a terrible parent. Like come on, Cody, you're fifty seven.
15:27
Speaker 1: You think you would know better, You think you would
15:29
Speaker 1: have like a little bit, just a little bit of
15:31
Speaker 1: wisdom at fifty seven. But here we are. And they
15:37
Speaker 1: ask him like, Okay, you're saying you should have had
15:40
Speaker 1: a better relationship with your kids. What are you going
15:42
Speaker 1: to do about it though? And that's exactly what I'm asking,
15:44
Speaker 1: What are you going to do about it though, Cody?
15:47
Speaker 1: And this is where Cody cries and let me just
15:51
Speaker 1: tell you, let me just let me take a sip
15:53
Speaker 1: of my Coca Cola because I just can't this man
16:00
Speaker 1: fake cries. He gives a Robin Brown performance on Special Forces,
16:05
Speaker 1: like barely any tears come out. He's pretending to break down,
16:10
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, I'm ready to be wrong now,
16:14
Speaker 1: I'm ready, are you? I feel like this is such
16:17
Speaker 1: a performance, Like I would love for some of the
16:20
Speaker 1: older kids to come out and say some shit like
16:23
Speaker 1: I still haven't heard from my dad in X amount
16:25
Speaker 1: of years, or like, I still haven't heard from my
16:27
Speaker 1: dad and however long. So he's on Special Forces saying
16:31
Speaker 1: he's ready to be wrong and ready to have better
16:33
Speaker 1: relationships with us, but he's done nothing, Like I would
16:36
Speaker 1: love love for some of the older kids to call
16:39
Speaker 1: him out on that. I know we're not going to
16:41
Speaker 1: get that, but if I was one of these kids,
16:43
Speaker 1: that's what I would be doing. I would be dragging
16:46
Speaker 1: my dad through the mud if I could, if Cody
16:48
Speaker 1: Brown was my dad. Shit. So Cody fake cries and
16:53
Speaker 1: he says that he thought he did well being a
16:56
Speaker 1: dad and a husband, which is just again delusional, Like,
17:01
Speaker 1: how could you think that you did well? I just
17:03
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't understand with how you went through
17:07
Speaker 1: three divorces, none of your older kids talk to you.
17:11
Speaker 1: How could you think you did well? How could you
17:13
Speaker 1: think you did well? I don't get it. And one
17:17
Speaker 1: of the staff calls him out for that again, which
17:19
Speaker 1: I did appreciate, and they said that that's a very adolescent,
17:23
Speaker 1: immature way of thinking. And Cody's like, okay, well I'll
17:26
Speaker 1: accept that. No you won't, I'm sure Cody like actually
17:29
Speaker 1: cried about that comment. Later when he goes to sleep,
17:33
Speaker 1: he probably cries himself to sleep to that. And then
17:35
Speaker 1: Cody says he would like to repair the relationships with
17:38
Speaker 1: all of his family, all of his children, including the
17:42
Speaker 1: ex wives, which is just a crop of shit because
17:48
Speaker 1: right after he says that, he says he apologizes to
17:52
Speaker 1: his kids if he offended or hurt any of them,
17:58
Speaker 1: if he offended or hurt any of them. So again,
18:03
Speaker 1: like not sitting in the full weight of his actions
18:07
Speaker 1: and what he has done. He doesn't think that he
18:10
Speaker 1: hurt any of them or offended any of them. He
18:13
Speaker 1: just and like to give this like apology on National
18:18
Speaker 1: TV is so performative because you know that the real
18:23
Speaker 1: apologies like aren't happening behind the scenes because he doesn't care.
18:27
Speaker 1: And that's why this episode was so infuriating to me,
18:30
Speaker 1: because he talks about his family, he pretends to cry
18:35
Speaker 1: about the breakdown of his entire family and the breakdown
18:39
Speaker 1: of his relationships, but like there is no action to
18:43
Speaker 1: back any of that up. And that's what's frustrating. It's
18:47
Speaker 1: so grandiose, it's so performative, it's so fake. And then
18:53
Speaker 1: at the very end of the episode, they have all
18:57
Speaker 1: of the remaining people write death letters to their family
19:01
Speaker 1: or loved ones or whatever, because like, if you're in
19:04
Speaker 1: the military or if you're in the Special Forces, like
19:06
Speaker 1: you have to write some kind of like letter to
19:09
Speaker 1: your family or whatever, telling them you know how you
19:13
Speaker 1: really feel in the case of you not being able
19:16
Speaker 1: to come home, like if you're on deployment or whatever.
19:19
Speaker 1: And you know who Cody chooses to write to, like
19:22
Speaker 1: not his kids, not his family, which was the focus
19:25
Speaker 1: of this episode, right, which which was him kind of
19:30
Speaker 1: admitting to his failures as being a bad husband and
19:34
Speaker 1: a bad father. Like he doesn't write to his family
19:36
Speaker 1: or anything like that, or his estranged children. No, he
19:39
Speaker 1: writes to Robin Brown, and he writes this like really
19:43
Speaker 1: cringey like love letter where he's just like, I love
19:47
Speaker 1: you so much, baby, I'm like god, like I think
19:49
Speaker 1: you're the most perfect person ever, and like give my
19:52
Speaker 1: love to only your children because I don't care about
19:54
Speaker 1: any of my other kids. And I hope to see
19:58
Speaker 1: you one day, my sweet queen something like he calls
20:00
Speaker 1: her my sweet queen. Pewoo, dude, so gross, super cringey.
20:06
Speaker 1: I just I hated it so much and it again,
20:10
Speaker 1: Like him choosing to write the letter to Robin just
20:13
Speaker 1: goes to show like where his real loyalties lie and
20:16
Speaker 1: where his real feelings lie. Because you can say all
20:20
Speaker 1: this shit about how you're disappointed that you don't talk
20:22
Speaker 1: to any of your kids and how you're sad that
20:24
Speaker 1: you don't get to talk to them and you want
20:26
Speaker 1: to repair the relationships, but like, when push comes to shove,
20:31
Speaker 1: you write the letter to your run one and only
20:34
Speaker 1: beloved Robin and not to anybody else, like not to
20:38
Speaker 1: any of your stranged kids or anything like that. Like
20:40
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just felt like that was very
20:42
Speaker 1: quintessential to who he is as a person, and and
20:46
Speaker 1: just goes to show that this entire episode and this
20:48
Speaker 1: entire like season of him being on Special Forces is
20:52
Speaker 1: completely one hundred percent performative and authentic. He's not digging
20:56
Speaker 1: deep anywhere, he's not breaking down his ego, he's not
21:01
Speaker 1: taking any real accountability. And if anybody believes that he is,
21:05
Speaker 1: I would love to hear your arguments as to why.
21:07
Speaker 1: But like I could smell this shit from a mile away,
21:10
Speaker 1: Like he's so full of it, and I'm over it.
21:14
Speaker 1: I'm sick of it. It was so infuriating to watch
21:17
Speaker 1: this episode, but I did appreciate seeing people talk shit
21:21
Speaker 1: about him, and I did appreciate him getting yelled at,
21:23
Speaker 1: and I did appreciate him being called a total failure.
21:27
Speaker 1: Oh there was also one little comment, one like little
21:30
Speaker 1: scene in the middle of this episode I forget, but
21:33
Speaker 1: like Cody was being such a creep it like goes
21:36
Speaker 1: up to one of the girls, like when she's like
21:38
Speaker 1: washing her face outside or whatever, and he's like, man,
21:42
Speaker 1: you're really clean, you really like take good care of
21:45
Speaker 1: your hygiene. I'm over here just like letting it all go.
21:48
Speaker 1: I'm so fucking stinky. It's probably why everyone hates me
21:50
Speaker 1: because I smell bad. Oh, but like you're like really
21:53
Speaker 1: clean and you like smell good. Okay bye. Like that
21:59
Speaker 1: was so weird, dude. And even the girl that he
22:02
Speaker 1: said that to you, I think her name is Jeane
22:03
Speaker 1: or something. She was just like the fuck, Like why
22:06
Speaker 1: are you talking to me? Old man? Like he came
22:08
Speaker 1: off such like so creepy, such like a creepy old man,
22:12
Speaker 1: And I love that. I did love that. So I
22:16
Speaker 1: did love the little moments in the episode where he
22:18
Speaker 1: got his ass handed to him a little bit but
22:22
Speaker 1: him performing and trying to go on this redemption arc
22:25
Speaker 1: and try and take like responsibility when we know he
22:29
Speaker 1: doesn't actually mean it was really infuriating to watch. I
22:32
Speaker 1: can't say, like I didn't expect that to happen, because
22:35
Speaker 1: Cody is a narcissist, so of course, like he'll do
22:38
Speaker 1: whatever he can to try and rehab his image. But like, man,
22:43
Speaker 1: isn't annoying to watch. So let us know or let
22:45
Speaker 1: me know what you guys thought of this episode, and like,
22:49
Speaker 1: what your thoughts of were of Cody in this performance,
22:53
Speaker 1: and if you thought any of it was genuine, I
22:55
Speaker 1: would love to know. I thought it was fake as hell,
22:58
Speaker 1: and leave some comments below on YouTube if you're watching there,
23:03
Speaker 1: or like dm me on Instagram at Reality tv Cringe
23:06
Speaker 1: message Us on Patreon. I would love to know your
23:08
Speaker 1: thoughts and stick around for later this week. We'll have
23:13
Speaker 1: a recap of Seeking Sister Wives as well, which I'm
23:15
Speaker 1: really excited to get into because that shit is so
23:18
Speaker 1: good and so trashy. So yeah, that's it, and I
23:23
Speaker 1: love you and by
