What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done.
0:13
Goodbye. You shut it off.
0:17
Do not twist my words. Do not make me a victim,
0:20
sweetie. Just look at the mountain.
0:22
That's what you. Saw that day just the knife in
0:26
the kidneys over all these years
0:31
to love you. Q&A and Clip Time show Q&A and
0:50
clip time show It's an episode
0:57
specifically polygamy. Questions answered Were you so
1:01
excited to be jumping into these
1:04
and eagerly sitting at the edge of your seat waiting for their
1:06
answers? I was, you know, I was like,
1:10
what do we not know about them
1:12
And what good questions could people ask?
1:15
I was just blown away by them.
1:18
Blown away by the questions. I can tell by your enthusiasm,
1:21
darling. They were just so original and
1:23
had never been asked before in
1:26
Oh, of course. Well, we can't blame the people
1:29
asking. Maybe they have amnesia.
1:30
Or maybe they're just discovering the Browns.
1:33
Or maybe they're make believe.
1:38
to start off the episode. Before we get into the Q&A,
1:40
though, they had to show Kody running from house to house.
1:43
Now that they're at the Brown family cul-de-sac, he's running
1:48
from house to house, gathering
1:51
answer questions in Meri's family room, where they've
1:54
pushed some couches together. And now the parents are sitting
1:57
in the back. Well, yeah.
2:00
And the little kids are gathered
2:03
Whatever sitting around. Of course they have to show Kody
2:07
running from house to house and pretend like this is
2:10
organically happening. Like hey, you know what?
2:12
We get questions all the time from our fans, so I just noticed
2:16
we've probably not answered them
2:19
Let's just run around the cul-de-sac ringing our cowbell
2:21
and saying time to answer questions.
2:24
Time to answer questions like it's dinner time You.
2:27
Didn't believe this happened organically, darling.
2:29
No. Oh.
2:31
I thought it was just spur of the moment.
2:33
We're going to answer some questions and then poof,
2:36
production crew, poof. Lights, mics, camera action.
2:40
I just thought they were all waiting for Kody's next thoughts
2:42
and Kody's next suggestion. I love how they tried to like
2:45
set it up all cute and whatever like that.
2:48
And it's very obvious that it's a setup, but I, I can see what
2:53
they were trying to do. I get the attempt, you know.
2:57
Yeah, having the entire crew waiting with the mixing board
3:00
and the microphones didn't really help the spur the moment
3:03
vibes, but you know. And the fact that we didn't see
3:05
them have to shove those couches
3:07
They just walked into Meri's and
3:10
Yeah, it was beautiful. Meri's just like, oh, I think I
3:13
heard Kody saying something about questions.
3:15
No one's here though, because,
3:18
But I'll just push the couch as well.
3:19
See, she could do that. Maybe it was from their big last
3:22
family therapy session that they've been having.
3:25
They were already pushed together because they talk so
3:28
much, don't they? Oh yes, they talk so much and
3:30
you can tell from this episode
3:34
with each other, exposing themselves inside and out to
3:37
each other. No new revelations whatsoever
3:40
from these thought. Full question.
3:42
Right, you guys are going to learn so much of this episode,
3:44
so buckle up. Buckle up, bitches.
3:47
Question #1 Kimber, how about we
3:51
these questions and you read us question number one for our
3:54
listeners at home. Sounds so wonderful and organic,
3:57
just like this Q&A, yes. Exactly.
4:00
We're pulling a Kody Brown here.
4:01
Oh. My gosh.
4:03
Our first question comes from Danielle.
4:05
Which mom is the most strict and which mom is the easiest?
4:11
We start with an answer from Isabel, she says Mine, Christine
4:22
And Hunter says I think it depends on the situation.
4:27
Yeah, probably. They show us clips of different
4:32
situations, as Hunter says, where you know each mom is
4:37
having to play a different role and throwbacks to times where
4:40
the kids have fucked up and the parents have to step in.
4:44
Yeah, those fuck up children. One of them was Leon in the
4:48
kitchen at Meri's in the morning, where Meri was telling
4:51
them that they couldn't use the minivan.
4:53
Leon was, you know, ever understanding and completely
4:56
like, oh, I get it, Mom, I get it.
4:59
And then when prompted for the easiest part of the question,
5:02
Hunter says Janelle and the others agree because, duh, like,
5:07
You don't need to be a doctor to
5:10
Kody says to Aspen, why don't you answer?
5:14
You haven't answered anything yet, even though this is the
5:16
first question supposedly that's
5:19
Q&A, so natural and. Aspen says.
5:22
I haven't had anyone be strict
5:27
I thought that was kind of funny.
5:28
That's something I would have said.
5:29
It was very cute. And then it's funny because I
5:31
think even Kody kind of acquiesces or whatever is like,
5:33
yeah, you have been actually pretty perfect so.
5:36
Yeah, and then the kids kind of laugh and go, well, that's just
5:39
because Christina is so easy on you guys.
5:41
Right, right. And Meri is so orange, seeing
5:50
her sitting next to all of the
5:54
What intarnation is going on? I haven't noticed it.
6:00
We used to point it out all the time at Orange she was and how
6:04
she would try to culturally appropriate and she's brought it
6:10
back. Oh God.
6:11
Don't tell me you didn't know this Q&A was coming, bitch
6:14
'cause you went and got a EE spray tan just for this Q&A.
6:18
I'm thinking she must have bought that washer and dryer,
6:19
got that pulled into the house
6:21
moved in. So now she's got more money to
6:24
spend. You know, she, I don't know if
6:25
she bought curtains or blinds.
6:28
items figured out. So now she's got the budget to
6:30
go back to her spray tan after
6:33
So she's doing it all. Yeah, she probably even has one
6:38
of those Sally Hansen spray guns
6:43
on top of the spray tan she's gotten in the salon.
6:46
Like she is like tripling up on that spray tan honey.
6:49
Yeah, she looks like a chicken
6:52
She does. Our second question comes to us
6:55
from Darla. And Darla asks, do your kids
6:58
want more brothers and sisters
7:02
Brianna, who is Robyn's youngest
7:05
kids and she wants Meri to have more kids.
7:08
And then Aurora, her older sister, says Robyn should have
7:11
one more and Meri should have three more.
7:14
Just a little bit of pressure from the children to be
7:17
impregnated. And the best and only honest
7:20
answer here comes from Peyton.
7:25
17 is enough to deal with. And Hunter agrees.
7:30
Absolutely. And Kody has to put a little
7:32
pretty bow on this question by
7:36
to decide. I get to have as many kids as I
7:38
want. It's giving like neen or neen or
7:40
Boo Boo rhymes. But like, are you the dad here?
7:44
Are you the adult in this room?
7:46
Because that was strong schoolyard crap like.
7:48
It was the way he said is I get to have as many kids as I want.
7:53
Sticks his tongue out at his own
7:55
fucking children. Not the tongue.
7:57
Oh God. He might as well have.
7:59
It was really weird the way he
8:02
threatened in that moment. Right.
8:04
Like, oh, my children. Yeah, totally.
8:06
Oh. My kids telling me how many kids
8:08
I can have. Absolutely not.
8:11
I won't. Have it.
8:11
I won't have it. Not in this house.
8:14
Not in Meri's house. Question #3 comes from Meri Ann.
8:20
Who makes the best foods and what is your favorite?
8:24
I think we know where this one's
8:28
No, just kidding. No one would ever say.
8:32
Robyn eggs. No one would ever say Robyn.
8:35
Ever. Oh my God.
8:38
Peyton says my mom Christine her
8:42
Gwendolyn says my mom Christine shepherd's pie.
8:46
And then Christine says so who
8:49
Because she can't just take the cute compliments from her
8:52
children. She has to be self deprecating
8:54
and. She's going to keep sweet, you
8:57
know? And Isabelle raised her hand
9:00
like they were in school. She's like me.
9:03
It's so. Kody gestures at her and she
9:06
says Christine, my mom. Yep.
9:11
And Christine laughs about being
9:14
You know? Kody draws.
9:14
Good or bad? Comparison to Babe Ruth hitting
9:17
the home run or striking out. Which is funny about Babe Ruth,
9:21
I didn't know that until recently.
9:23
He either hit home runs or struck out notoriously.
9:27
I love what Christine does here.
9:29
Christine says it's OK, I've got your back and gives her a hug.
9:37
the worst food, the kids kind of, like, clam up, like nobody
9:43
called on and kind of calls out her mom, Christine, after
9:46
getting the compliments, it's just kind of cute that Christine
9:51
behind. And it's a sweet moment.
9:53
It's definitely something that a mom would do, and she does.
9:57
Affirming her daughter's choice to say she's the worst.
10:01
It was cute. Yeah.
10:03
Our next question comes to us from Elliot, and Elliot asks who
10:12
sisters, how do you decide what to watch?
10:14
Gwendolyn chimes in with the first answer, saying.
10:17
At my house, we all fight over it.
10:19
Yeah, nobody gets to control it 'cause we're all fighting over
10:29
response of like, no, no, no, no, no, no, which I don't know
10:34
Christine's house. Just because she needs to talk,
10:36
that's. All MC Kelty hasn't really been
10:38
able to shine yet in this organic Q&A.
10:41
So now that we're at question #4 it's her chance and she's shut
10:47
And Kody has to assert himself and say what's my rule?
10:51
And all the kids look around like I don't know what the
10:54
fuck's dad's rule? We don't know.
10:56
He's never fucking hear. He's never hear.
10:57
We don't know. We don't know your rule.
11:00
Dad. Are you our father?
11:02
Yeah, it's so weird he has to insert himself and act like the
11:07
disciplinarian. Well, what's my rule, children?
11:09
What does Daddy say?
11:10
Insert crickets because no one
11:15
scissors you. Can't decide what's the rule of
11:18
rock paper? Scissors.
11:20
So annoying. It's like so juvenile too.
11:23
Can you imagine your kids fighting and being like, I don't
11:26
know, rock, paper, scissors it, man.
11:28
Rock, paper, scissors it man. It works every time.
11:31
Do it. Turns out it doesn't work every
11:33
time, which he later addresses
11:37
funny. OK, Kody.
11:40
Father of the year, father of the decade, father of the
11:42
Millennium. And then the younger children
11:46
are asked to leave the room because we're going to spice
11:48
things up. We're going to get to the PG
11:50
version of our questions. So younger children, please be
11:53
dismissed. Go play rock paper scissors in
11:55
the street. Now we've got questions for the
11:58
teens of the family. Do we all know who the teens are
12:03
of this family? Do I need to rattle them off for
12:06
you? Kimber, who was here for this
12:08
because it was so organic that
12:12
We have Leon, we have Aspen, we have Mekelty, we have Hunter,
12:20
we have Maddie. Maddie wasn't there.
12:24
Oh no, we don't have Maddie. You're right.
12:26
She wasn't there, just the ghost
12:30
She's off getting high with her friends.
12:32
Probably no, you're right because Kody does a pretend
12:35
answer for her at one point. Yeah, Maddie's not there, and I
12:38
don't remember if Paden stuck around for the teens.
12:40
I think that Paden didn't stick around.
12:42
Yes, he did. He did, Paden.
12:44
OK, so I can't just rattle it off like I'm all knowing this
12:47
time I'm so sorry. Can't.
12:49
Bring you in your list. Fudged it up.
12:51
Yeah, fudged it up. Question #5 comes from Tabitha.
12:58
What are your personal beliefs
13:01
How much skin is too much? Do the teens feel the parents
13:05
are too strict? So of course they have to show
13:08
Mckelty while this question's being read by Kody.
13:11
They show her, and she glances
13:14
And I thought, oh honey, you've definitely never looked worse.
13:18
We all knew who was going to take the bait on this one.
13:24
So of course, when the question wraps with are the parents too
13:26
strict, Mckelty has to say definitely yes, of course.
13:31
I feel like I'm a teenager so I should explore and wear
13:35
whatever I want. And Kody literally says EW
13:39
really? To his daughter's answer.
13:43
Well, Christine says I'm crying behind you.
13:47
What? The other kids reference how
13:50
Mckelty walks around the house
13:54
And a tank top. Booty shorts and a tank top,
13:57
Yeah. That's slutty little Mckelty.
14:00
Well, and before Mckelty answers, they show this clip of
14:04
Meri doing shit in the kitchen
14:06
And it's a notorious clip. Yeah.
14:08
Meri being like, go put on something else, Mckelty.
14:10
I can see too much of your body.
14:12
And Mckelty saying something and they're going put on something
14:17
those times where we saw like a collarbone or something, and it
14:20
was way too scandalous. They bring this clip up over and
14:25
because she fills out her top in a different way than a skinny
14:28
person who probably wouldn't have been told that, I'm
14:31
assuming. Yeah, the way that the body fits
14:37
And Kody says that he's tired of
14:41
in booty shorts and says if he sees his daughter's cleavage
14:46
it's just degrading and nobody else should see it either.
14:50
That's the complete wrong use of
14:55
Did he mean to say it's disrespectful?
14:59
It's just degrading if I see my daughter's cleavage.
15:04
Yeah, I I mean, it's degrading
15:07
having impure thoughts about them.
15:09
Yeah, that's freaking weird, man.
15:11
I mean, I think it was yes, as a
15:17
to him. I think it's a little give, a
15:19
little tell. I don't.
15:21
It is. It's creepy with the wording
15:24
that they use in this family. I'm like, you either don't know
15:28
what words mean or you really are using them and in such a
15:32
weird way because of your mind
15:37
Oh yeah. Yeah, and of course, Mckelty
15:39
says, well, I'm not actually walking around in booty shorts.
15:41
And there's blah, blah, blah, blah.
15:42
And then the question is posed
15:46
he feel if there was a girl that
15:48
And what if she was dressed all scandalously and blah blah blah
15:51
blah blah. What if she was wearing booty
15:53
shorts? Yeah, he said.
15:55
Well, if it looks good, it looks
15:58
And was it Robyn that asked about the butt hanging out?
16:00
Yeah, Robyn said The booty shorts again.
16:03
Like pose that to him and. Yeah, like what if there was
16:06
butt hanging out of the bottom
16:08
And Hunter is just being so mature here, just like in the
16:10
last episode when he was talking
16:13
And if you're in love and in a
16:18
should be OK just like this. He's like, if it looks good, it
16:21
looks good. It's like, why are we ragging on
16:24
this stuff with our kids? And then you get Hunter, who's
16:28
being completely sensible. And so I think that Janelle
16:33
behind the scenes, the way she's
16:37
good job, Janelle. And she's the only one that kind
16:42
of just keeps a little quiet during this question, too.
16:45
Like, do we really need to be ragging on this with the girls
16:50
again? She probably, in her way,
16:54
understands it as like a person living in a bigger body that
16:58
sometimes clothes just fit differently on different women.
17:02
So maybe that's why. Yeah, that could be a part of
17:05
it. Yeah.
17:07
And just being more rational and
17:12
I imagine she has the same talking points, but different
17:18
enforcement and different things
17:20
talking points. Yeah, I'm imagining Maddie
17:23
probably gets the most lenience about apparel look, vibes with
17:28
the aesthetics, you know? Maddie is well endowed and
17:32
probably gets a lot of guff, maybe from the other parents
17:36
too. So if Janelle sees that
17:37
happening to her daughter, she's
17:40
with other girls in the family.
17:42
I can see that. So I think that Janelle probably
17:47
And Hunter in these last two episodes has really shown with
17:57
Q&A. It looks a little different than
18:02
actual Mohawk. But I had to laugh because the
18:08
adults had shoes, the kids didn't.
18:10
And he's sitting on the floor with his feet, like straight
18:12
out, and it's just his like big old gym socks.
18:15
Yes, such a jock. Like such a jock.
18:18
Such a jock. Our next question comes to us
18:23
from Ernesto and Ernesto queries.
18:24
The kids were so upset when you guys moved to Las Vegas.
18:28
How do they feel about it now? Are they happy or do they still
18:33
want to go back? Janelle starts talking about
18:37
Payden because Payden had such a reaction when they left Lehigh.
18:42
She says, Payden, when we were
18:44
moving, you broke my heart. And then they cut to the scene
18:49
of Kody telling the family, guess what?
18:51
We're moving in three days and
18:54
fucking douchebag. And Peyton being clearly upset
18:57
next to him and like crying, being like, what do you mean?
19:00
Like I'm uprooting my life and
19:03
And it's like, oh I hate when they flashback to the scene.
19:06
It is heartbreaking. It's an honest reaction that any
19:09
child would have if you spring
19:14
they're kind of like, oh, trying
19:18
freaking weird way of doing things.
19:20
And then we cut back to now and Peyton says, I'm not glad we
19:26
moved, but yeah, it's better here.
19:31
And it just kind of feels like
19:34
parents. Kind of feels a little half
19:38
hearted ish. Sure.
19:39
Yeah, Hunter agrees, at least with the second part of that
19:42
statement, that it's better here.
19:43
And Leon says I'm so grateful.
19:48
even though Leon was one of the more upset children, obviously
19:52
back in the day, crying. I don't need to leave.
19:55
I know I'm not an adult, but I
19:59
Keep the house for me. Literally keep the house for me.
20:04
Oh Leon. I feel like the only reason that
20:07
Leon is saying this is because
20:11
Oh yeah, things have improved for Leon.
20:15
Interesting. Yeah.
20:16
I feel like it's kind of more of
20:20
I'm in this nice big house now.
20:22
So sure, I'm, I'm grateful. I'm so grateful for the move.
20:25
OK, now that I'm going to the college I want and I live in a
20:31
big home. Things are going my way again.
20:38
Question 7 comes from Jeff. Jeff asks.
20:43
I'd like to ask the teenagers what's the most annoying thing
20:51
I hate it when my parents act like little kids in public and
21:08
like they're acting like little kids and it's not even in
21:12
public. Yeah, it's an attempt to make
21:14
them look silly, but it's lame. It is very lame.
21:18
Have good footage. I mean they are going to use the
21:23
That's embarrassing. But they use it for another
21:25
question so they probably just don't have good footage to pick.
21:30
more footage, and that's just something lazy that one of the
21:33
editors was like, oh, I can think of this clip, so they just
21:36
pulled it, but they didn't actually look through footage to
21:38
find an embarrassing, interesting thing in public.
21:41
Kody tells us that Maddie would say he tries to dress to
21:44
hipster, to which Leon, you know, of course corrects him.
21:48
You don't dress like a hipster, you dress like a girl.
21:51
Your pants are very tight. And then we get a jewel even
21:57
more precious than Robyn's. Purity.
21:59
Purity from Janelle. Amazing.
22:03
Janelle does this like huge full
22:08
Yes, throws her head back with
22:12
which I always love seeing from Janelle.
22:14
It kind of reminds me of an Ursula thing she does.
22:17
She doesn't do that. And she goes.
22:22
We like his pants tight. We replayed this like 3 or 4
22:29
times because I was chuckle butting over this.
22:32
This was a wonderful moment from
22:34
I love when she gets enthusiastic, especially when
22:37
she's laughing and it's so funny.
22:38
And then to slide into this, we like his pants tight.
22:42
It's like girl, all right. She says pants like Arnold
22:47
Schwarzenegger. We like his pants tight.
22:51
We like it when his little butt cheeks go like these and these
22:55
and squeeze like these. Oh God, such enthusiasm about
22:59
Kody's pants and how tight they are.
23:02
God. All of the talk about Kody's
23:05
tight buns. Buns of steel.
23:07
He says that he has buns of steel and Leon says we see those
23:11
buns and Hunter goes this question's over.
23:16
And it's like, yes. And the teens take this as their
23:20
cue. 2 Exit stage left. Very organic, just like all of
23:24
this whole episode is. They just are like, we're done,
23:27
we're out. And that was that.
23:29
So now we have only the parents on these pushed together
23:32
couches in Meri's living room.
23:35
that they do all fit on one couch.
23:37
And I think Meri might be in a
23:40
But there's still another couch pushed up, as if there are more
23:43
people there and they are not.
23:46
They just didn't take the extra seating away when the teenagers
23:50
left. Yeah.
23:51
So it just looks more empty and more vacant, just like my soul.
23:56
Elaine opposes the first question to the adults.
23:59
If Kody lived alone, what kind
24:03
And Christine says, clean and meticulous.
24:07
And then Robyn, of course, asks some questions like, oh,
24:09
really? Oh, Oh my gosh.
24:11
And implying that Kody is a mess at her house and kind of
24:16
questions this. And Christine says, well, that's
24:23
here. Well, Christina's giving this
24:25
look of like, well, there's a difference between you and I,
24:29
There's a difference between our
24:31
There's a difference between the
24:36
something. And my take away was that Kody
24:39
is comfortable enough with Robyn
24:44
opinion, where at Christine's he
24:50
maybe not as relaxed. I also feel like just in
24:53
comparison, Christine is a slob.
24:56
Her house is filthy all the time.
24:59
I'm sure a normal person probably is clean to her.
25:02
So I don't know. They're just, there was
25:04
something under here, there was something bubbling under.
25:06
There, Yeah. There's a weird back and forth
25:18
different he is at each other's home.
25:21
Had that vibe. Because yeah, Christine goes
25:24
very clean and have your things meticulous as to how it would
25:28
be. And then Robyn looks at her and
25:31
goes, you think he's clean? And Christine says, does he make
25:44
and gives this like sideways look to her.
25:48
How can he be that different for each of us?
25:53
She's realizing that's very different.
25:56
Yeah, there's something going on there, some processing.
25:59
Yeah. And I for some reason just
26:01
picked up that it was a little bit more about them
26:05
specifically, maybe not every wife's house, right?
26:08
I mean what you're saying, but a little more micro that it's
26:12
like, oh, he's like this at your house, but not my house.
26:16
And I don't know, some sort of juxtaposing, comparing wheels
26:20
turning and in a way that makes me think that Christine's not
26:26
happy about these answers and the answer that Robyn gave.
26:31
It makes it feel to me like she's realizing that Kody's more
26:40
like settled in there versus living out of a suitcase.
26:44
Each time he is at her house, he has his things.
26:48
It's almost like if you go to a hotel, you unpack and you put
26:52
your things on the sink in like a certain order because you're
27:00
comfortable? Why unpack my suitcase?
27:01
And so to me, it comes across that way, like he doesn't get
27:05
comfortable when he goes to visit her and maybe she's
27:08
catching on to that. I don't know.
27:10
I could be reading into it too much.
27:11
No, I think that that's true, Janelle says.
27:15
He would be very cosmopolitan, nice houses, nice clothes, nice
27:21
cars, affluent and lots of women.
27:25
Which I mean, I think I kind of agree with Janelle because he's
27:35
self-centered and. I don't know, a little weird.
27:39
It's a little weird to say cars in plural, houses in plural.
27:43
Yeah, yeah. Implying that he'd be super
27:45
wealthy or something. He'd have so much more money if
27:47
he didn't have to pay for all these kids that he just had to
27:56
So yeah, there's that. He even says I'd have I'd have
28:04
over men. And Christine gives him this
28:07
look like this side eye, like if looks could kill.
28:11
And then Kody has to try to like recover from this.
28:14
And I think he realizes that that was not the right thing to
28:18
say. So he tries to recover and he
28:20
says it was a good question, Alina, but I can't imagine
28:25
myself single. So like, he's backtracking.
28:30
Question 9 comes from Tina. And Tina says, how do your wives
28:46
Yeah. So I'm so curious what their
28:49
answers are going to be. Oh, yes.
28:51
Christine says you have to go inward.
28:54
I don't compete with you ladies, because I love myself.
28:59
She kind of says Once you're secure in yourself and you love
29:03
yourself, then the insecurities go away.
29:05
And Janelle says that she agrees with her that being more secure
29:09
with herself and embracing her talents and individuality has
29:13
LED her to be less bothered by jealousy.
29:17
And of course, because Kody is a St. among sinners, he asks if
29:23
there's anything he can do to help with their jealousy.
29:26
Oh, what a giver that Kody the giver.
29:29
And Christine points out that she has an issue that when he
29:34
gets mad about her being jealous that it becomes difficult for
29:37
her. I've never been jealous of my
29:40
husband's other spouses, so I don't know, it's weird.
29:43
Well. How can you get mad at a normal
29:46
human emotion in a situation like this where this is a normal
30:08
should just keep sweet about it, you know?
30:09
Yeah, keep it to yourself. Keep sweet about it.
30:12
This is our life. Like, what do you mean?
30:14
I don't want to be around you when you're being like this.
30:16
And she makes a valid point. Don't get mad at me because that
30:24
emotion. Let me have this emotion.
30:27
And Meri says that reassurances go miles.
30:30
So when he reassures them all, it just goes miles with her.
30:35
Miles for Meri. And then two questions down,
30:38
like we bring up a huge jealousy moment from her again.
30:41
So it's like, yeah, OK, Meri, OK.
30:43
OK, Meri. The next question is posed by
30:50
Amy, and Amy asks is Kody ever going to get a haircut?
30:55
Kody in his luscious lock. Yeah.
30:59
And Christine volunteers. Well, you know, Kody, it's up to
31:04
As she shakes her head no while she's saying the statement.
31:08
As if it's really clearance? No, but it's up to you.
31:13
But please don't. And Robyn has to open her fat
31:16
mouth and piss me off. And she goes, he could shave it
31:21
because he's just got such a nice face that he could shave
31:24
his head and he would look good, this beautiful face.
31:28
And it's like, you fucking liar, just a few episodes ago when we
31:35
had our lovely hairdresser, Kennedy Kennedy.
31:38
Oh, and he came home and talked about how he was joking about
31:43
shaving it. She goes to Meri and says you
31:46
let him go alone to the hairdresser.
31:48
Robyn's just always got to try to say whatever is going to make
31:55
Kiss ass Well, and then we get a lovely insertion here by
31:59
production of a graphic, a still of Kody with his long hair where
32:14
And you noted that. It looks exactly like Logan.
32:20
Like Logan? And how Kody was so disturbed by
32:27
Yeah, Christine talks about how he just looks so different now
32:36
age. Yes, yes.
32:39
Fine, fine wine. What do you know about wine,
32:44
Christine? What do you know about wine?
32:46
Kody's like a Boone's farm or whatever.
32:48
Like give me a fucking break. Like the Blue Boone's farm too.
32:52
Like the weird colored.
32:53
Wine. No, that's not right.
32:57
That is funny. Christine, what do you know
33:00
about wine? Or men yet for in this instance,
33:03
because she's only ever been with Kody.
33:06
So what do you know about fine
33:10
Come on, I don't. He's right, he's right.
33:14
Play a fine 10 God Oh. Boy.
33:20
It's very important for this next question that you get the
33:22
name submitted with the question
33:25
Please pressure is on. Question 11 is from Sonia Frumpa
33:32
OH. Sonia Frumpa, we love you.
33:36
Sonia Frumpa. Sonia Frumpa.
33:38
Oh my God. No, no, no.
33:40
This is Sonia from PA. I'm assuming it's a tweet and
33:44
that they are, you know, saying as a question sent in and Meri
33:47
does correct him. It's Sonia from PA and I'm like
33:50
thank you Meri, because at first
33:53
to say anything about this, but thank God she did.
33:55
Sonia Frumpa wants to know. Sonia Frumpa.
33:59
We love you, Sonia Frumpa. What do you do when your
34:03
children have events on the same
34:07
different location? How do you choose which event to
34:10
go to? This is where we get another
34:12
return of Rock Paper, Scissors
34:18
that it is too complicated for
34:22
doesn't doesn't solve every problem.
34:25
I used to think that rock paper scissors solved everything, but
34:30
it doesn't. The mom goes to the event of
34:33
course, and I try to make it to half and half.
34:37
Half and half. Does he roll the dice?
34:41
Does he flip a coin? I want to hear more of his game
34:44
metaphors here. I I not only know if it's a
34:46
game, whatever you call these things where you make a choice.
34:49
Oh yeah. So he makes his selections half
34:52
and half. I think that he meant he makes
34:56
it to half of one event and half
34:59
Oh, I thought he meant he picks,
35:03
Oh, interesting. I thought he meant that he would
35:06
go to the first half of 1 of the
35:09
of the other. See, I thought he was lying
35:11
through his nasty teeth and saying I go to half and half and
35:15
it's like you don't go to most.
35:17
Well, he's probably bullshit in US and so it doesn't matter what
35:23
either. Right, it's complete bullshirt.
35:26
Bullshirt Kody.
35:28
But of course the mom goes to the event like.
35:32
Obligatory yes. Yeah.
35:34
I mean happily of. Course.
35:35
Happily, happily. But they do say in the previous
35:40
episodes when there is a child's
35:44
one of the kids concerts or something that if the other moms
35:48
are free and Kody can't make it to the event because of another
35:51
child's, the other mothers will like gather and rally behind
35:55
the event that Kody can't be at.
35:58
So we've been given this answer previously and I thought that
36:02
was a good option. Got your extra mom's there to
36:04
give you sport when your dad can't be there.
36:07
But they can't say that again. And before they went public, it
36:10
would have been interesting because it's like, oh, that's my
36:16
recently they've been able to be public.
36:17
But before that I wonder if the moms would sit by each other and
36:24
I don't really know. That's why I don't believe any
36:29
I don't believe any of it because we get different answers
36:36
change. You do things differently
36:37
throughout the years, but they feed us a bunch of bull shirt.
36:45
from, so I'm going to pretend it's from me.
36:47
Question 12 was sent in by me, Chris Co, host of my sister
36:52
wife's podcast, and I sent in what was the most embarrassing
36:59
Oh, good question Chris. Thank you.
37:01
Thank you. Robyn says I know exactly.
37:05
It's when I was having Solomon and she references the cameraman
37:14
was showing. And I'm like, well, you missed
37:19
little camera. Literally taking pictures of
37:21
your bits. Stepdaddy Uncle Paul was there
37:31
It was pretty awkward. Oh yeah, I don't even.
37:34
This family is so weird. It is really, really intense to
37:38
have someone filming your birth.
37:40
What Kody says here though, yeah, just shut the fuck up, he
37:43
says. I'm sorry you felt so
37:46
vulnerable. I was pretty impressed, Like
37:49
impressed with you. Sorry you felt vulnerable.
37:53
You think her closlopus was out?
37:56
She wouldn't feel vulnerable. She was a real lady, being so
38:01
vulnerable. Oh my gosh, I almost let him off
38:09
Got to give it to her, got to give it to that poor cameraman.
38:11
I don't know who you got to give
38:13
it to. Of course, you offered to have
38:17
your baby on TVI don't know why this is coming up right now.
38:21
Like, to me, this would not be
38:25
moment because that's a huge decision to make.
38:28
Like you, in my mind, I'd have
38:32
this almost like my whole pregnancy, like, am I or am I
38:35
not going to do this? So for her to be embarrassed by
38:39
that, now, in hindsight, it's like we saw it all.
38:43
We didn't. She's so dumb.
38:45
But she is so dumb. There are many people who would
38:49
opt to not give birth on film,
38:53
reasonable choice. So for her to have made this
38:56
dramatic decision and then for
38:59
or awkward moment, it's like, I don't know, girl, I can think
39:01
of several others on this show
39:04
embarrassing and awkward, and this is what you're picking?
39:08
OK, girl. That's cuz she just doesn't
39:10
think that anything else she does is wrong, right?
39:13
So this is the moment she had to
39:15
It's like every time that you've
39:18
an interior shot of your home, it is literally embarrassing
39:20
and humiliating for you, but you
39:23
You don't even know. A couple episodes ago, when
39:26
you're throwing yourself down on
39:30
store, laughing your ass off like you're high about caramels.
39:36
Oh God, it's so funny. That's more embarrassing.
39:43
Store Honey, the unfortunate store.
39:45
Is it still open? That poor, unfortunate store.
39:51
What if Janelle? Janelle's like I'm a frequent
39:53
visitor to that store. Oh my goodness.
39:56
Robyn, you've embarrassed yourself plenty.
39:58
That was definitely not your most embarrassing.
40:00
It probably was the one you should be the most shamed for.
40:03
Just kidding. Maybe when you thought Wyoming
40:06
was spelt with AY, maybe that was a little more embarrassing.
40:09
Christine tries to not answer the question.
40:12
Yeah, Christine kind of avoids
40:17
and then you see it again and it
40:21
and again, and you think that you've moved on from something.
40:26
And then it gets aired again. And Kody like pushes her.
40:31
Give an answer. Christian give an answer, just
40:33
give us an answer. And she obviously doesn't want
40:37
to give an answer because she doesn't want to relive things
40:40
that have been embarrassing or
40:44
let it go Kody. But he can't.
40:46
So she comes out and says that
40:50
her was when she walked off set during the infamous wedding
40:57
dress debacle. Debacle from Season 1 when Kody
41:02
confesses that he picked Robyn's
41:07
Christine was very upset and she
41:09
And we learned from her book later that they took three or
41:13
four days before returning to set.
41:16
So yeah, that was obviously very
41:20
doesn't think it was a good look, even worse than Robyn's
41:23
dress. But I don't even think she
41:24
should be embarrassed for that.
41:26
It was an honest reaction to something that they went and did
41:32
shopping with her sister wives for the dress.
41:34
And I'd have been pissed too. But she's obviously been shamed
41:38
enough by Kody that she thinks she should be embarrassed by
41:42
this. Agreed.
41:42
I'm thinking if if it wasn't Kody, it's internalized shame.
41:51
Like I was not embarrassed for
41:54
her. I thought it totally made sense.
41:56
I would have been upset too. Yeah, I don't know.
41:58
Any of the answers that they give, because we're going to,
42:01
you know, get to the rest of them here, but any of the
42:03
answers that the wives give are things that they really
42:06
shouldn't be embarrassed for. Totally.
42:08
We get Janelle's answer next, and Janelle says that getting on
42:11
the scale in front of the whole world was embarrassing for her,
42:15
and she'd never even told Kody
42:19
I can see what having your actual number put on TV like.
42:23
When I've been my biggest, I wouldn't have loved that number
42:26
to be on TV. I probably would have been
42:27
embarrassed, but because we know
42:32
efforts she's made since then,
42:36
like, as a compassionate person,
42:38
shouldn't be embarrassed. Yeah, but I get it.
42:40
Like I would be embarrassed. But going back to 2013 was like
42:43
The Biggest Loser still on TV and all of these shows that
42:46
shamed people and we're like doing weigh insurance and making
42:49
them feel bad about their weight.
42:51
So I can see during this time how this would be consider it
42:55
embarrassing or shameful to, you
43:01
So kind of thinking of like the time that this aired and was
43:04
filmed. I can understand why she felt
43:06
that way Nowadays, like in hindsight, honey, you have
43:09
nothing to be embarrassed about and we've seen how hard you've
43:12
worked. But they do show a clip of the
43:14
initial weigh in that they have with trainer Bill and him
43:20
shaming her and saying if you continue on this unhealthy path.
43:25
And in hindsight, that clip is
43:31
The way he's speaking to her and
43:34
a little harsh. Yeah.
43:36
So. It goes with the vibe of some
43:39
like that approach from certain people, you know, I, I don't
43:42
know, I feel like it could motivate me.
43:45
So I don't know. It's it's a Gray area, but I
43:49
think that she shouldn't be embarrassed, but I understand.
43:53
Yeah. Oh, and Meri references her time
43:56
at Big Bear with the family when
44:01
kids. I'm like, Oh my God.
44:03
They answer that scene of her telling the kids that they're
44:06
all siblings whether they like it or not and you better start
44:15
I was pro Meri the entire time. So I just hate that it's ever
44:20
teed up that it's bad, and Robyn says for me, that was a proud
44:24
moment. Like it wasn't an embarrassing
44:27
I was proud of you for that.
44:29
And Meri does say that she didn't realize that the cameras
44:33
were coming because the cameras had been around the corner and
44:36
she didn't know they were still filming.
44:38
So then when they heard her like
44:41
and reprimanding them, they came
44:43
cameras, which we obviously see.
44:45
And so she was embarrassed that that was caught on camera.
44:49
The funniest thing about this to me is that she says Big Bear
44:54
getting after the kids and she stares off like she's a war vet
44:58
thinking back on a horrible like a memory.
45:01
Big Bear. Oh gosh.
45:03
The kids, yeah. Getting after the kids is quite
45:05
a statement. It's funny because even that's
45:11
were like this is unacceptable. We've heard now that this was a
45:16
big moment between her and Christine and Janelle where they
45:34
understand it. Back when we watched that
45:37
episode, I remember being like, no, she should be saying
45:40
something to them. They're treating Robyn's kids
45:42
differently and if they're going to be siblings, they shouldn't
45:50
I'm happy that Robyn says here that she was proud of her
45:54
because nobody had her back during the time of that Big Bear
46:06
way. And it's like, OK, but this is
46:11
And Kody backs up Meri here and says, I get it.
46:14
No one wants to be yelling at their kids.
46:16
And I'm going like, she wasn't even yelling.
46:20
Like, they're making it sound like she was screaming at the
46:23
top of her lungs. And it's like she was speaking
46:32
And Meri's like, well, I'm going to fucking step in and do this
46:38
I just don't like it.
46:40
I don't like it. I don't like the way that they
46:41
treated her about this. No, they're painting her as like
46:44
a bad guy and they tend to do that frequently with her and her
46:48
parenting style. And so I think she has a lot of
46:51
internalized anger at herself for situations with the kids.
46:57
I think she has regret on how she's handled things with the
47:00
kids and been made to be kind of
47:03
And obviously we don't know really what was going on behind
47:06
the scenes. But in this moment, I totally
47:09
stand with her. The little girls, Robyn's little
47:12
girls were being picked on and
47:15
little girls are just being sensitive and they're crying.
47:18
And it's like, no, they are literally being brought into a
47:21
new family and being told that
47:24
older boys are picking on them.
47:26
Of course they're going to cry. Of course they're going to cry.
47:30
And there was a paralleled
47:31
experience with Dayton even where Robyn, I mean, she was
47:34
being Robyn and so gross, but was teeing up the idea of like,
47:38
what if Dayton doesn't even want
47:40
because of the way you're treating him?
47:41
And she of course, had to weaponize it by being like, he
47:43
could choose to live with his father.
47:44
It's like, fuck you, Robyn. The real thing here is that your
47:47
kids are being ostracized. They're being treated
47:49
differently, differently, and it's not fair.
47:51
And Meri was standing up for them.
47:52
And you know, if you don't like the way Meri talked to the kids
47:54
in that scene, well, we have a
47:57
We. Do we definitely do.
47:59
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
48:03
Oh my gosh, Kody. Kody, Kody.
48:06
His most embarrassing moment was
48:11
dinner together. At Lakai.
48:14
At Lakai and she asked him, what
48:19
another man? If I had another husband.
48:23
If I had another husband. Oh, Kody, the vulgarity with
48:30
another husband or another man
48:34
Like, oh. My God yes.
48:37
Every time that comes up it just
48:40
Oh, the vulgarity of her doing
48:45
We. Have a breakthrough moment
48:47
during this, though it is a. Breakthrough moment.
48:50
Meri apologizes forever, having posed that question to Kody.
48:55
I didn't think that was the breakthrough moment, darling.
48:58
Oh, I think that she finally apologized in that it was like
49:01
Kody was like oh thank God you
49:05
me that. When really the breakthrough
49:10
moment was Kody, even if for selfish reasons to look good to
49:14
everyone, recognizes that he was
49:18
that he was feeling a certain kind of way.
49:21
And it's like, thank you. That's what's the problem here
49:23
is not Meri asking you the question to highlight that.
49:26
It's just whatever. Like, just wondering if you
49:29
could maybe empathize with my situation.
49:31
Could you pretend to be me? Well, that would be terrible
49:34
because he has a penis and she
49:36
cult, so that could never happen.
49:39
Let's call it breakthrough moments for both of them.
49:40
Yeah. Yeah.
49:43
Lies. Of all lies question #13 is from
49:49
Maggie. I'm very overweight and I just
49:54
never imagined I could change that.
49:56
It just seems so overwhelming.
50:00
What could you say to help me?
50:06
Cue the emotional music long pause from Janelle.
50:11
She says, wow, I'm overwhelmed.
50:14
Yeah. And she's like tearing up.
50:17
And Christine says that she's an inspiration to her, and she's an
50:24
I don't know. I feel like this is very deep
50:26
for her. I feel like she is like, wow,
50:29
I'm, I'm actually making a difference.
50:30
The fact that somebody asked me this and I can help other people
50:45
And finding the people who believed in me and believed that
50:50
It didn't feel like an organically true answer.
50:54
I agree with you. I think she was so thrown off by
51:03
question. And I felt that emotion for
51:06
sure, aided by the emotional music of course, because I'm
51:09
ASAP and I can cry when the wind changes directions.
51:11
But I felt her feeling that for sure, you know, it seemed like
51:20
was so moved by the question itself.
51:22
She was either so moved by it or she felt like she felt like
51:27
undeserving of being like an inspiration to somebody.
51:32
OK. I think she still has a lot of
51:39
through so much of that that she can't imagine herself being an
51:44
guard, yeah, that she just doesn't even know how to answer
51:47
it. It was a lot for her and I think
51:53
it. And so, I don't know, I just
51:55
felt for. It's like moments like that, I'm
51:57
like, I love Janelle. Yeah.
51:59
I love Janelle. Yeah.
52:00
I hope that that resonated with her.
52:02
And even though she wasn't able to give a meaningful answer
52:05
because she was caught off guard, I hope that she was able
52:08
to think like, even later that
52:12
cool. Or when watching the episode
52:14
back, like, I hope she got to really feel that in a way that
52:17
wasn't. So how, how am I going to
52:20
respond to this? Like let it sit.
52:21
For a minute, you know? Yeah.
52:24
Aaron poses our next question.
52:27
You mean a a Ron? And a a Ron, well, girl, I can't
52:31
repeat that. I can't say 2A's in a row.
52:34
Aaron asks. So are you all actually sisters?
52:39
I don't get it. Which I love because Christine
52:44
has a great response. She says yes, biologically we
52:48
have the same mother and the same father.
52:51
Kody too, actually. Yes.
52:54
Which I love. Like they all have the same mom
52:56
and the same dad, and Kody says that's the reason our kids are
53:00
so smart. And I'm like, holy shit.
53:03
Oh, the levels, the layers. Like Kody, you didn't need to
53:06
bring that into it. Inbreeding and your children's
53:09
intelligence. They're all like laughing
53:12
though, and Christine's, you know, sarcastic comment is
53:15
pretty funny. And then Christine talks about
53:19
the history of the sister wife
53:24
that since the beginning of time.
53:27
In Mormon fundamentalism, we didn't really get a good answer
53:31
there, just that that's what they've been called.
53:33
So that's that. As we know too from the Darger
53:37
family, there are actually sister wives who are sisters.
53:42
So they're probably like laughing at this because they
53:46
are not siblings, they're sisters.
53:49
But there are plague families where that is the case.
53:54
At most they are distant cousins
54:00
through marriage. AKA Janelle, married to Meri's
54:03
brother and now married to Meri's husband.
54:05
That's as close as they get to
54:08
Dargers, I don't think you could
54:11
twins, right? Twin sisters, Like you can't get
54:14
much closer than that. Hello.
54:17
Whole nother layer to the Eskimo
54:19
You know, like, oh, not Eskimos,
54:23
Eskimo brothers, I think it is
54:25
Know, right? Yeah.
54:26
So they're Himalayan sisters. Himalayan.
54:31
Himalayan Himalayan sisters. Dude, No, that is so wrong.
54:38
Please forgive. Me.
54:39
Oh boy. Please forgive me.
54:41
We're going to move on to Question 15, posed by Bonnie.
54:48
How have your lives changed since the show began?
54:52
Would you do anything different?
54:55
Has going public been mostly a positive experience?
54:58
My Bonnie lies over the ocean. My Bonnie lies over the sea.
55:05
My Bonnie lies over the Himalayan mountains.
55:09
Please bring Meri's mother Bonnie back to me because we got
55:18
we can move into the house. Help me move.
55:19
Oh my God. Sorry everybody, this is the
55:22
last question. Just so you know, you guys are
55:25
They kind of all go scary, scary, scary.
55:27
It was scary, scary, scary at first.
55:30
They insert a scene of the press in quotes, filming outside of
55:35
the split level compound. You know, Robyn looking out the
55:37
basement window. They're here, they're filming
55:40
us. And it's like one person with a
55:42
tripod, like OK girl. Janelle feels that she's been
55:46
able to have more honest friendships after being open
55:49
about her family situation and that's got to be honest.
55:56
Like she has mentioned previously that she felt like
56:00
she didn't have good close friendships because she had to
56:08
So they show clips of them with friends and kind of in external
56:15
situations with other adults in Vegas and.
56:19
As sister wives. As sister wives and out in the
56:25
better friendships after being open about it, right?
56:27
Yeah, when she referenced that she couldn't do, she couldn't be
56:44
acquaintances, coworkers, blah, blah, blah.
56:47
And you're building rapport. You have these relationships,
56:49
but then you're literally lying all the time to these people.
56:53
And on one hand I'm going God it must be such a relief.
56:57
And on the other I'm still stuck on the fucking lying for so many
57:04
of fucking liars. So while I feel for her that
57:07
it's great that she has that now, I'm like bet you lied for
57:16
friends that finds this out and feeling like, did I ever really
57:20
know you? That's kind of how I would feel
57:24
because that's literally like your entire family life, your
57:27
entire home life, and you're lying about your own children.
57:34
situation where you feel like you have to lie.
57:36
But like, as a friend of somebody that did that, I'd be
57:42
hide it from me for so long is a little scary, I would think.
57:45
I I don't know that it would be like unforgivable.
57:49
Right. But because there's other
57:51
situations where people lie about things and I'm sure you
57:55
can be forgiving and I just don't, I don't know.
57:58
There are times where she talked about being at work and how her
58:01
Co workers wondered how it is that she could work late, never
58:04
had to leave for appointments and all that shit.
58:06
And it's like even something that basic like, yeah, you just
58:09
lied to all of your Co workers. Like you had to or she felt she
58:12
had to. Well, and imagine maybe this is
58:14
where I might find it unforgivable.
58:16
Let's say you're like a struggling mom and you're like
58:25
done and how your work performance is suffering because
58:32
She's so perfect, and yet she's like lying to your face about
58:36
how she's doing it. That would almost be a little
58:39
like backhanded. Like, I felt bad about myself
58:41
because you were getting it all done and being the superhero
58:45
mom, and really you weren't. That's so messy.
58:47
That would feel shitty. Yeah, that's not good.
58:51
But I mean, happy for you, Janelle.
58:52
Yeah, just happy you can be open
58:55
Just doesn't sit right with me.
58:56
I, I don't know. I mean, it's, it's fine.
58:59
It's fine, Robyn tells us that it's so hard to have people
59:03
watching you and judging you and making a call on who you are.
59:08
What, like seeing who you are and coming to conclusions that
59:16
Excuse me, Allegedly. She's so gross.
59:20
You. Literally just lied about how
59:22
you'd be OK with Kody shaving his head when earlier on you we
59:26
have actual footage of you saying that you'd be mad if he
59:32
And it's, it's really just like people putting together the
59:35
pieces and seeing who you really are.
59:36
Like they can see through your facade.
59:38
And this family might have fallen for some of your shit.
59:40
I don't think they all fell for it.
59:41
And I don't think they all fell for all of it.
59:44
No, but she thinks everyone's buying her song and dance.
59:46
And it's like, no, people don't buy it.
59:48
You look like shit and you look like a pile of crap.
59:52
Pile of crap and everybody knows it.
59:54
Yeah, I think that there are storylines that are spun for
59:57
reality TV and fake villains made-up for reality TV all the
1:00:05
seasons for people to not see who you really are.
1:00:08
It's not all editing, that's for sure.
1:00:10
Kody gives himself a pat on the back and says we were doing a
1:00:16
brave thing. And I'm like, EW, like just the
1:00:18
way he talks about shit, he's like, I don't know if it's a
1:00:21
martyr, but I don't know what that vibe is of like, we did a
1:00:30
no. Giving yourself all the kudos.
1:00:35
If I could do it again, I would eliminate the fear.
1:00:38
And I'm like, This is why I fucking can't stand Kody.
1:00:41
Because you're a douchebag, you're an idiot, you're a loser.
1:00:45
in life where I was scared or whatever, I do wish I would have
1:00:49
eliminated the fear. I wish I would have just tackled
1:00:52
the issue and not been so caught
1:00:55
Right. So I'm like, yeah, Amen, Kody.
1:00:57
Fuck you, you know. Yeah, I do think a lot of us
1:01:00
feel that way in hindsight about
1:01:03
If I could have just done that
1:01:06
not cared what people thought,
1:01:09
and just done what I wanted. So I get it, but it also feels
1:01:13
like a phony answer at the same time.
1:01:15
It feels like a practiced answer, even though I kind of
1:01:19
can relate. Yeah, I know.
1:01:21
Yeah, this is it. I love to hate him.
1:01:24
Bonnie asks how have your lives changed since the beginning of
1:01:27
the show? And he says, well, when the show
1:01:30
began, I had a wife coming into the family.
1:01:32
I had one baby on the way, and
1:01:35
we had the move. So yes, I mean, it's been 1 hell
1:01:39
of a roller coaster. It's like, it's like, yeah,
1:01:42
you're literally just listing off all the life changes that
1:01:46
you've had. This person means something
1:01:48
different than that, OK. About your literal experience,
1:01:54
like how it made you feel, Would
1:01:58
Oh, let's just avoid all that and point out the things where
1:02:00
they can show a clip while I'm
1:02:02
Like duh, no shit those things
1:02:04
Like how we got it? Cut to literally them having
1:02:09
banter back and forth commenting
1:02:11
questions and blah blah blah blah blah and I'm like you
1:02:13
literally just gave bullshit answers to these questions.
1:02:16
You are so, oh, they're so crazy.
1:02:20
And Robyn even says, you know, a
1:02:24
I like that. And I'm like a little more
1:02:26
thought going on. This sounds like third graders
1:02:29
answering questions. Yeah.
1:02:31
Oh, these people, these people, God.
1:02:36
And of course, Kody, the patriarch of our family, has to
1:02:39
wrap up the episode with a funny
1:02:44
And he says Oh no one brought up
1:02:49
Then he jokes to production off camera about how he should get
1:02:51
a bonus for bringing up the subject because he knows they
1:02:55
all want them to talk about sex and they don't want to talk
1:02:58
about. Sex.
1:02:58
He's talking to the people, like
1:03:01
Yep. And Meri and Robyn kind of say
1:03:03
simultaneously, why did you have
1:03:06
And then Kody looking off, you
1:03:10
is behind the camera says I get a cookie for that, don't I?
1:03:13
I should get a cookie tonight.
1:03:18
says. Well, that's awkward.
1:03:20
I didn't mean it like that. I.
1:03:21
Didn't mean that cookie. Janelle, I think, and Christine,
1:03:26
they're like, EW, stop. Like, oh, my God, you guys are
1:03:31
so juvenile, as you're saying.
1:03:34
this time. Yeah, we're so much more
1:03:36
insightful and blah, blah, blah.
1:03:37
And then you got to end it like this, you morons.
1:03:40
What thoughtful questions? We really exposed ourselves in
1:03:49
Sister wise, you guys are here listening to us talk about
1:03:53
Sister wise. Yes, yes.
1:03:55
Friendly reminder, that's what's happening.
1:03:57
All right, darling, you know how we wrap these up.
1:04:02
Shit stain and mustard seed time I believe.
1:04:06
What do you want to start with? I don't even know because it's
1:04:17
stain and I am going to give it to Robyn yet again because her
1:04:31
Oh, I'm so embarrassed looking back, having Saul on camera.
1:04:35
Like, bitch, you had nine months to think about that.
1:04:39
Stop. Yeah, give us like, an honest,
1:04:45
you can't actually admit to any faults or anything that you
1:04:48
might have actually done wrong on camera.
1:04:50
So you're going to say, oh, I'm giving birth on camera, all
1:04:53
right. Yep.
1:04:54
We all wish that hadn't happened to Darlin.
1:04:57
She wasn't embarrassed kissing Kody on film while Christine was
1:05:04
It was more embarrassing to do this planned birth.
1:05:07
Yeah, it wasn't embarrassing for her to have gone dressed
1:05:12
shopping with Kody behind her sister wives backs.
1:05:16
Right. She should be so much more
1:05:18
embarrassed and humiliated by these other things.
1:05:20
Yeah, And she could even use this as a time to, like, fess up
1:05:30
Like no, she has to say something's stupid as per usual.
1:05:34
relationships on this show. Obviously, I'm going to bestow
1:05:39
my stain on Kody Brown because
1:05:45
His implication that rock, paper, scissors could solve all
1:05:48
of the problems in his world is ridiculous.
1:05:53
The way that he talks about how seeing his daughter's cleavage
1:05:57
is degrading. Yeah, that was weird.
1:06:00
Is not only grammatically incorrect, but really shows his
1:06:05
internalized misogyny. Yeah, it kind of like implies
1:06:11
that he's thinking some type. Of that, like men, of course,
1:06:16
can have no control over themselves.
1:06:18
And like, how very dare you expose yourself to everyone,
1:06:21
including your own father. And it's like, my God.
1:06:24
Yeah, I feel like a lot of his
1:06:26
answers as well, Like, oh, we were doing the brave thing here
1:06:30
by coming out and. Oh yeah, pretending to be brave.
1:06:33
I mean, you know, taking too much credit for being brave and
1:06:37
everything having to do with Meri and the baby.
1:06:40
Shit, I just can't even, I can't
1:06:42
about it anymore. And he needs to drop it.
1:06:44
He also tried to be husband of
1:06:49
follow up question about the jealousy and what can I do to
1:06:52
make your jealousy better and it's like shut the fuck you
1:06:55
don't care. As if he was ever going to do
1:06:57
anything with any of those answers.
1:06:58
Yeah, you're right. He deserves it, as per usual.
1:07:02
It's those two as per usual. And I can't forget when he said
1:07:08
oh good thing you don't get to
1:07:10
kids as I want to like Hunter as
1:07:14
And it's like you're less mature
1:07:18
son. Fuck you.
1:07:20
Yeah, that was a bad. That was bad.
1:07:22
Not good. My mustard seed is going to
1:07:28
Janelle because obviously she's doing a good job with her kids
1:07:46
children more insight through a couple of things that Hunter has
1:07:52
And, you know, sex with someone you love and they're committed
1:07:59
her parenting style is paying off and she's creating humans
1:08:04
that are going to be productive members of society where some of
1:08:15
And I think we know nowadays that some of them are not.
1:08:21
So that and then her getting thrown by the question about
1:08:26
weight loss and not knowing how to take her kudos and Pats on
1:08:31
the back. I hope that was eye opening for
1:08:34
her. And I think that was a truly
1:08:37
honest reaction of her and being caught off guard.
1:08:39
And I don't know, I just yeah, she deserves it, I believe.
1:08:44
Yeah. I support that mustard seed.
1:08:47
I'm giving my mustard seed this episode to Meri Brown.
1:08:51
And you know, it pains me to do so sometimes, but this episode,
1:08:56
I'm OK with it because, you know, and it's weird that I'm
1:09:00
saying this because she referenced the Big Bear moment
1:09:06
really, girl? Because that's why I'm giving
1:09:09
her my mustard seed, is that she did that.
1:09:11
And I really wish she would have stuck with it in the sense of
1:09:14
like, no, I was doing the right thing.
1:09:16
I don't know. But this might be the first time
1:09:23
right thing to do because I think she was shamed like ever
1:09:30
she was wrong for that for so long that of course she feels
1:09:33
like it's embarrassing, but this might be the first time that
1:09:36
like, Robyn and Kody actually said like, no, we were proud of
1:09:39
you for that. Oh, and of course, when they're
1:09:42
wrapping up the episode, she did try to make Kody be
1:09:45
embarrassed by his cookie comment, which I appreciated.
1:09:47
Yeah, she tried to shut him. Up.
1:09:48
Thank you, Meri. Thank you, Meri, for trying to
1:09:54
sweet moment. This episode comes to us all the
1:09:58
Darling, I'm not going to do the British accent because I can't
1:10:04
Oh God, I'm so sorry. Laura McKay, 89, left us a
1:10:08
