• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it's the poop high rocks thing.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering what's happening with that girl.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I think she had to give up her accolades and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: her win. Really?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Did it come with money? Did she pay it back?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it came with money, but she
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: had to give up her win.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: And she had to issue an apology. Okay.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Well, or other current events. You guys can call about that.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And speaking of high rocks, I was out on a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: walk the other day.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Are you training for high rocks? I wasn't training for
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: high rocks, but I.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Was doing kind of a longer walk. Normally I'll walk
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: every day, like three to four miles typically.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm an athlete. But like I was out for
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: quite a bit of time, probably more like a seven
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: mile walk.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Which for me is pretty long. And at about, I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: don't know, 5.8 miles, I was far away from the house.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I was struck. I was struck with this sudden realization that, oh, damn,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I gots to poop.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And it was right after that argument with my husband
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: about the teaspoons. And so, which I covered in a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: previous podcast, which I didn't want to call him to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: come and get me because I had to poop.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Because you were mad also.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I was like two miles, two and a half miles
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: away from my home. I was high rocks in, I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: was high rocks in those two miles all the way home.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And it was close, honey, because you know, the closer
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you get to home, the more urgent your body knows
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: your body's like, okay, pretty soon I'm going to be
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: able to sit on a toilet and get it all out. Honey,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: by the time I was crossing my legs, yeah, I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: almost high rocks. So I spent a lot of time,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you know, having my opinion about that girl. She was
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: an Olympian and an athlete like myself. And the next
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: thing you know, I'm out there almost pooping.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Do you have more compassion for her then because she lost.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Control of her mouth?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: No, I don't. I don't.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I told my brother too that that happened to me.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And he told me that there's this woman who walks
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: around the neighborhood, his neighborhood, up and down the streets.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: She may have like a mental illness.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Oh, no.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But she's always out there like first thing in the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: morning and she poops in people's yards. Like she pooped
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in my brother's yard. And he's got the ring cameras
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so he can see her. She pulls down her little
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: gym shorts and she poops and pees in people's yards.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking I could do that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: These bitches.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, people do that with their dogs. So why not?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They do it all the time.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: But anyway. Oh my God, that's terrible.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's a wild world out there.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: It is a wild world.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm trying to say. And if you want
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to call, speak by and talk to us about your
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: wild experiences. We're here, babes.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: We'd love to hear it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Okay. So for our first call, what do we got?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Let's see. Who do we got? We got a call
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: from Paige.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Paige?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Hey, Delia and Beatrice. I am Paige, and I'm calling
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: from an Oklahoma dumpster. What a dumpster it is.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Anyway, I just wanted to talk about how I felt
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: about Cody and Robin leaving.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: I honestly am pretty excited about it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: I think that the reason why the last couple of
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: seasons have been so unwatchable and boring is are because
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: of Cody's.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Control over production.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: And I think that to keep this show going, they're
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: going to have to do something different. And I do
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: understand you guys's point that like, reality TV needs a villain.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: But I think Cody can still be the villain, even
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: though he's not on because all of the women's choices
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: are informed by their relationship with Cody because they were
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: married to him for 30 years and that's like all
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: they knew you know um but I'm really excited for
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: this season and I was wondering what you guys thought
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: about it if you guys are excited to see if
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: they could turn a new leaf for sister wives or
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: if you think it's just gonna be a shit show
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: and it's gonna be canceled after like this season so
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: thanks guys Look.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I'm one of those people. I really do think that
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: reality TV does need a little bit of a villain.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I do think you got a point page about how
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Cody could still be the villain without him being there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: And that is true. If the OG three make him
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the villain and like talk shit about him as if
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: he's the villain. I just don't have any hope that
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: they're going to do that, especially after the last two
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: episodes we've seen. I know this, this voice message is
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: a little bit older. It was before the season. So,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying not to be a Debbie Downer
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: over here. I want the season to be entertaining. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: am glad to see the OG3 live their lives without
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Cody and Robin. I think it's awesome. And some of
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the best revenge is, you know, thriving after abuse like this.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? So, like, I think that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: great that they're all doing their own thing. I just
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: want them to talk shit. I want them to, like,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: stoop a little bit. down to like a bad level
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: where they're being a little mean and critical of Cody
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: and Robin.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I want them to go to hell with it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I really want them to go off about it. I
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: just don't think that they will. So that's why I
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: think it's not going to be a super entertaining season
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: because we're not going to get the tea. But I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: just toxic, okay? So I'm just like a walking red flag.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Like I want them to be mean. So that's just
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: my opinion.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to agree with Paige that I am...
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: While at the same time, noticing the dynamics are different
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: this season, and I don't necessarily like it because Cody
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and Robin aren't there. I, at the same time, very
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: much appreciate not having both of them on my screen
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: because for whatever reason I was getting turbo parasocial. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: was like, I was always triggered by both of them
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: because they never got called to the carpet for the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: shit that they did. Like Paige said, production was constantly
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: covering for them. There was never any accountability. We had
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Sukanya every fucking year just kissing the ring. It was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: making me have high blood pressure. And so this is
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a definite different vibe. And I like being calmer. But
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm almost asleep. I'm so calm
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that I am sleeping because I'm bored and I am
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a little bit worried about where we're going. But I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: talked about that in our last episode. Paige, you called
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: before you watched any of the episodes. And so I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: curious and I would like to invite you to call
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: back now after seeing the first one or two episodes.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: How are you feeling about the show? What are you thinking?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Are you liking it? I would love to hear that feedback.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I would love that too. So thank you for your call.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Next one we have is from Tanya. Okay.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Hi, ladies.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: It's Tanya from a dumpster here in Houston where apparently
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: we just don't ever get any other season except summer.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: So we're still sitting on 100-something degrees. I know you
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: guys are here too. Just sweating it out.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: But I think as far as Cody and Robin leaving
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the show, I think I agree with the theory that
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: you all have that they didn't leave the show. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: think that they overplayed their hand. I think that Cody
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: probably did try to retire Robin because she just couldn't
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: take the backlash anymore. But he wasn't going to retire
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: her salary. I think he wanted to stay on and
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: still get paid what they both get paid combined to
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: be on the show, but her not have to be
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: on the show. And the producers were like, yeah, right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: We're not doing that. So either you get what you
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: get and you don't throw a fit or bye. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: of course he threw a fit because he believes he
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: is the show. And that was it. You will no
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: longer be on the show then. Do I think the
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: show is going to be good without them?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a snooze fest unless
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: these ladies start talking and really, you know, saying what
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: was what and what happened and what the real truth
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: is of everything. But you know, Mary's going to be like, no,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I don't want to say anything. I'm not going to
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: be that person. And Christina will be pissed.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Well, she was right about that. Well, in my opinion,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that this show is kind of sucking. But I do
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: think that that is what happened. They overplayed their hand.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: They asked for too much. They felt they were worth it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: The only thing is that I really feel that if
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: this season tanks, as I predict that it will, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that people are going to be very critical of it
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and of production, it really does open a door for
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Cody to walk back through with his own terms and say, okay,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: if you guys want this back, because again, I say,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this was the second most popular and highly viewed show
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: on TLC behind 90 Day Fiance last season, even during
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the apology tour, like everybody was watching, like over a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: million people were watching. I don't know what the ratings
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: are going to be at the end of this season,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but like if they're low, I do think Cody could
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: come back and say, okay, well, if you want to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: turn it around, I'm your guy, but it's going to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: be on my terms. This is what we're going to do.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: this is how i want the show to be robin's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: not going to be in it etc i think he
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: overplayed his hand but i think there's a way for
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: him to weasel back in.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I think it would be really stupid on production's part
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: if they did give him that much power back because
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: we all know and we all were very critical of
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the last couple seasons, like just as Paige had mentioned
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: in her call before, the last few seasons were really
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: hard to watch because Cody and Robin had so much
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: influence on what was allowed to be said and what
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: storylines were allowed to be shared. And nobody fucking liked
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: that shit. It was annoying to watch and it was
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: actually really enraging. So I think TLC would be really
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: stupid to bring them back and to give Cody and Robin...
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: whatever they wanted. And ultimately, I don't think that they
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: deserve to be back on the show. Like, especially if
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: they did overplay their hand and they did kind of
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: get ousted or fired from TLC. I don't think they
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: deserve to come back. If they want to come back
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: for maybe like one tell-all, that would be kind of
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: funny because they wouldn't have as much control as what
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: they're used to. So then they would have to watch,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: you know, things back and get all mad that Janelle's
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: got a new man and Mary doesn't give a shit
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: about them anymore and isn't simping for them and like
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: nobody's really talking about them that would be interesting that's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the other point that I have too is like if
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the OG3 are not going to talk shit Cody and
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Robin don't really have any reason to come back or
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: react to anything or bring any kind of drama or
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: vitriol if like nobody's talking about them.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, all of us viewers are
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: like really wanting the OG3 to talk about them. And
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: so then if they do talk shit about them, then
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: that gives Cody and Robin something to react to. So
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's kind of a double-edged sword. Maybe
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: that's why the OG3 aren't saying much of anything because
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: they don't want to give Cody and Robin power. I
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: think it's kind of a weird place to be, honestly,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: because the show has had Cody and for 20 seasons
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: and so it is kind of a weird vibe in
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: general to just have the og3 maybe that's why it
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: kind of sucks a little bit maybe that's why it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: kind of boring because we're all not used to it
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: maybe it'll get better.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Dude it would rock though if they were just telling
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the truth and dragging cody and robin it would be
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the best thing.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Ever and that's the thing it's like a fine line
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: like maybe they don't want to talk shit and be
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: mean but at the same time it's like it would
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: be great if you could drop some truth it'd be
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: awesome like i said a couple weeks ago like Do
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: a Sister Wives Rewind and watch some old episodes and
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: react to it and give us your commentary. Like, even
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: that would be so entertaining. And maybe they have that
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: planned for later in the season. I don't fucking know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: We're only on episode two. And maybe we're just being
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: a little harsh because we're bored. And we expected a
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: little bit more. oomph at the beginning of the season
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: but I guess we'll see how it progresses and I
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: do love the theory of Cody and Robin getting fired
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: because I think that's awesome.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Oh my god can we just all sit in that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just for a second just a little bit come together
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit and meditate on the image of Cody
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: getting the response to his offer to stay with the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: show but I would like double my salary and Robin
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: cannot actually film it's just going to be me because
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I am the show and these are my terms and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: then He receives word back from TLC. Well, we're going
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to go in a different direction. Thank you, though, for
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: all of these years and everything you've done.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Bye now. What do we think he did? What was
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that night like?
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: In McMansion number two with Robin and her dolls and Cody.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: And that's the other thing, too. Like, I don't really
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: want them to come back because I don't want them
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: to get money from the show. Because I kind of
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: want to see what happens.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Oh God, I know.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Like, and I'm not, I'm not wishing anything.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't do that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not wishing bankruptcy or anything like that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Of course not.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: But I do kind of want to see what happens
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: with their McMansion and whether or not they're going to
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: be able to afford all of that because- We all
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: know Robin ain't working. She's too busy playing dress up
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: with her dolls and getting high on Ambien. Allegedly, in
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: our opinion. Cody's not working, allegedly. I mean, he's doing
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: cameos and stuff.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Who's ordering those?
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, we should order one. we should totally order
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: one and ask him to watch our podcast that'd be
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: so awesome oh god that'd be so great but like
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: that can't sustain their 10 to 12 thousand dollar mortgage
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: lifestyle and all of the other stuff that they're financing
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: so i mean i don't really want them to come
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: back for that reason i just.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Want to see what happens Well, but like, you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: when they received word that TLC was a no-go, they
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: must have like at first been very indignant. Like, well,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: they think they can do it without us and very angry.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And Cody's like, well, I can go on any show
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and people want me. But like, what about a month later?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Two months later. When the reality sets in. What about
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the house and the mortgage and the cars and college?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And what about all of this stuff? Geez, I would
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: just love to be a fly on the wall.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, I would love it so much.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: There's got to be a little panic, right?
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, totally.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe Cody's not panicking because he seems completely
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: narcissistic and detached from reality, but I got to believe Robin,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: who knows the value of a dollar and how to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: spend it, is panicking in that house by the mines.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, she has to be, dude. I just don't
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: think there's a way that they can afford this unless
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: they are totally leveraged on debt.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I bet they are, but I'm sorry. I just got this.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: This image of Robin because, you know, she manifests.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: She's got her crystal towers. Like she leaves the house
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: at night at moonlight to go for a walk down
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: by the mines.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: And howl at the moon?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, down by the mines and just like have a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: quiet moment where she can envision for herself how they
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: can turn this around and make even more money than
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: they ever made before. She believes it's possible. And so
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: she's down there chanting by the mines, calling to the moon.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Moon, I need you.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Help me, moon. Manifest my future. She's wearing some sort
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: of a cloak.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: God, with a hood and everything.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Like Bohemian Grove.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like Bohemian Grove with the mines.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I love to think about it. So thank you for
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: your call, Tanya.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Tanya.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: All right, next one we have. Their name is Bishop.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Hey, ladies. I love listening to your podcast. I just
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: wanted to point out on the back door, though, every
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: time that it's brought up frustrates the shit out of
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: me because Cody did not mention Janelle until.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: He was asked to clarify that question. He said he
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: could just distribute the money to his personal will. And
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Suki finally asked a good follow-up question and said, whoa, wait,
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: what are you talking about there? And then he immediately
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: grabs Janelle and throws her big back underneath the bus.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: So I feel like that needs to be the primary
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: bit of that conversation that he was.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Just trying to deflect.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: He was doing normal narcissist things like a narcissist do. Anyway,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: I love listening to you guys. Keep up the good work.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Bye.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Well, that's interesting, Bishop. But I do want to say,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I think Robin also supported this version of that during
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: her talking heads with Sukanya. Didn't she also say that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: she had heard that Janelle and Cody wanted to do
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the deal and she was the rock in the way?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: She would not let them do it. She would not
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: let Cody do Mary like that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was just her way of manipulating
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: the situation and trying to have Cody's back, though.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it does imply that they both talked about
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it ahead of time. So she didn't act shocked that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: she heard this news. She's like, no, that's what happened.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And I put a stop to it. So it felt
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to me like they were actually planning to throw Janelle
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: under the bus.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Totally. I think it was all planned and orchestrated by
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Cody and Robin to try and take the heat off
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: of them. Because I think that if they thought, oh,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: what if they expose us for the fact that we
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: were trying to take all the money for ourselves? Like
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: we have to throw somebody under the bus. you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: whether or not the conversation actually happened between Janelle and
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Cody and whether or not Janelle was actually into it
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: or not. I mean, it's like up for debate. And honestly,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the whole conversation pisses me off too. Cause I like,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I'm tired of hearing about it. I mean, we've been
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: talking about it for like so long at this point,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: it's kind of annoying. Um, and it's like a moot
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: point because everybody got their money anyway, like the shit
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: sold it's done. We don't need to talk about a
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: backdoor deal. Who cares? That's kind of like my point
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: on it. I just, you know, I think that Cody
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: was throwing Janelle under the bus because he wants to
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: take smoke off of him. And he does that all
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the time. He deflects blame for pretty much everything. And
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I think Robin was just parroting what he had said
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: to her. Like, this is our story. So we got
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: to stick with it. Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: My point is, I just don't think it was as
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: spontaneous as an in the moment deflection. I think this
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: is something that they were working.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: That they were working in their mind. And he had
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: no problem at the end of the day throwing Janelle
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: under the bus.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Making her look like a villain. I think that he
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: does take a perverse little pleasure in doing that to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: these women. 100%.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: And that's what he's been doing the last several years.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: And that's why it's been so frustrating to watch them.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: So good riddance. Fuck off. Goodbye. Enjoy your house by
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: the mines. So thank you for your call, Bishop. And
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the last one we have is from Ashley. Okay.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Hi, B & D. I'm calling from a dumpster in...
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: super hot and humid still in October, Houston, Texas. And
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I am so excited for this season. Now that I've
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: seen episode two, I don't miss Cody and Robin at all.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Episode one, I was kind of like, I mean, I
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: don't know what we're going to do without them, but
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I love that we're watching the three of the OG
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: wives mature. I don't know. I, I'm excited to see
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: this journey and I'm really glad that there seems to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: be something that we can follow without Cody and Robin
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: just bringing everybody down. so I'm kind of excited for
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: this and I'm also excited that we had some flashbacks
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: of some things that we've never seen before so we
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: didn't have the same old flashbacks so I just I
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: think that there's potential here I don't know what we're
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: going to do after this season but I think there's
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: potential for this one so I'm excited to see it
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: What flashbacks?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: The curtain babies? I think so. Curtain babies. What else though?
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I was totally zoned out in
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: this episode. So I don't remember all of the flashbacks, honestly.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I think we've seen some of them. There have been
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: like a little, like, I think there's like little family
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: flashbacks that we probably haven't seen, but nothing that is interesting.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: No, or new, like giving us new information at all.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: But I just have to say, Ashley, I think you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: are such a nice person.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: You're so sweet.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I think you're a kind-hearted, wholesome individual who likes to
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: see these three women win. You're glad that we don't
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: have to put up with those antagonists, those ain't shit
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Cody and Robin people. Uh, thieves. I think that is
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: such a wonderful thing. Never lose that. I wish I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: had more of that. I personally, as I discussed, um,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: a lot already, I, I'm, I'm not really enjoying this.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I think that this is a wasted opportunity. I think
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that this could be fire, absolute fire. I think that
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this could go in so many cool directions and totally
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: change the game and get more people on board and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And again, I likened it last time to Colin Gosselin,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: who just released his book, A Tell All, about his mom,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Kate Gosselin, and the show John and Kate Plus Eight.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Colin alleges that he was abused directly by Kate, not
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: just verbal, but emotional and physical as well. Like the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: claims that Colin is coming out with are a bit wild.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of energy I think that these cast
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: members need to bring to the show if they want
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: to revive it if they want to vitalize it and
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: bring some new energy and keep toxic people like Beatrice
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and Delia on the hook and salivating for more. Like
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: if you give me some secrets, if you pull the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: curtain away and show me what was really going on
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: with the money, with the sex, with the favoritism, with
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the homes, like that for me would keep me invested
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: for years.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, totally.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Absolute years. But like these first couple of episodes are
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: an indication to me that they don't want to do that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: It's just more of the same, but just dressed up
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: in a different version, same show, different font.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I just don't really share your opinion, Ashley, but I
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: love you for having it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I do really appreciate your optimism. And honestly, I wish
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I was more like you in that way, because I,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: when I first watched the last two episodes, I was like, damn,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: this is where we're going. I immediately became pessimistic about it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we do that though.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: We do. We're kind of.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: We need to change that about ourselves.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: We need to change it. New Year's resolution.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: We need to call Nancy.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: We do need to call Nancy. We just have a
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: family meeting.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: We're going to sit down with Nancy.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Family counseling. So I do appreciate your optimism. And honestly,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to manifest that for this season because...
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Put your cloak on. I think we need that. Put
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: my cloak on. I'm going to go chant to the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: moon and the owl god and hope that we can
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: have an entertaining season. I do agree with you, Ashley,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: that I don't really miss Cody and Robin. And like
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I had said, you know, a couple calls ago, I
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: don't really want them to come back to the show.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: As much as I like want drama and I want
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: tea spilled and truth spilled, I really don't want Cody
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and Robin to prosper or to come back on the show.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I don't want them to be on any spinoff. I
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: don't want them to be on TV. I want them
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: to be barred from anything. filming anything ever again okay
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: because i don't want them to be able to prosper
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: at all i don't think.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: That's good spiritually speaking for you to have that neither
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: is chanting to the moon why she could try to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: manifest stuff but i mean having that intention that people
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: shouldn't prosper like i don't think we should do that
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: well we should pray for enemies i.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Just i don't want them to prosper Well, because they're
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: so evil. That's what I'm saying.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And they stole, in my opinion, allegedly from their women
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and children. Fuck them. Like they're terrible people. I wrestle
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: with this all the time because of course I exist
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: on the planet with everybody else. I see how crazy
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: it is out there and how crazy people are. And
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, I mean, a few of those people
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: could be dispatched into the Decagon of Saturn and I
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: wouldn't miss them.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Just go off my planet. You don't belong on the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: planet with the people. I kind of feel that way
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: about Cody and Robin.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: That's kind of how I feel too. And that's like,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: you know, I obviously don't wish ill will on them.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I just want, no, I just want justice. Like I
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: just don't want evil people to be able to prosper.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think that makes me a bad person.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: That's a different way to state it. And I agree
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: That's my thing. I want, I want justice. I want retribution.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: I want, them to get their just desserts i want
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: karma to be real for them so yeah i do
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: agree with you ashley i don't miss them i don't
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: want them back on the show i just want a
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: little bit more from the og3 and i will say
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: i'm just gonna say i hope that you're right i
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: hope that this season's gonna be entertaining i don't know
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: if it's gonna be entertaining for another season after this.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I wish i knew what the ladies wanted like what
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: is their vision for the show like is their vision
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that this is the final season Because then I could
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: approach watching it from that perspective.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: And I could probably enjoy it a lot more. But
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: is your vision that you want to keep doing the show?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: And if so, is this an example of the show
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that you want to keep doing? Because then I have
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a problem. Then I am screaming into a microphone for
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: years to come.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Well, we shouldn't be like milking this cow for all
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: it's worth. Let it end when it's supposed to end.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: And then you guys can do your own things. If
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: you guys want to sign up, for like Christine cooks
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: or something and Janelle doing her HGTV thing. Like that's fine.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: And I probably would watch that, you know, when I'm
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: doing other things, like doing the dishes or whatever.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Well, which wife of the OG3 do you think needs
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: sister wives the most?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Ooh, interesting.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about it watching. And if this
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: went away and this money went away, which of these
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: wives would do the best?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Oh interesting what do you think i feel like either
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: mary or janelle probably need the show the most because
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: mary closed on her bmb so what's she making money
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: off of lula row i mean who's buying that crap.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I think for her autumn festival she's going to be
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: letting people into the shed to see the clothes yeah
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: which nobody's going to be buying well i'm sure somebody
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: i would buy something if i went there from and
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: i would wear it on the podcast.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: You need to buy one of those ugly printed leggings.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I would love to do that. But truly, I don't
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: know what she's doing on the little row. I know
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: she's on Facebook. She's shucking and jiving all the time
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: for the coins. But she probably does need sister wives.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: And I think Janelle too.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because Janelle has Tiana Farms and she's got to
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: be able to fund that somehow. And she just built
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: two houses on the land and everything. And I know
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Maddie is like helping supplement some of that.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure Maddie built her own house and also
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: contributed money. to the price of the land.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: But still like they probably need the extra bump from
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: sister wives. I don't think Christine needs it as much.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think so either. That was my thought too.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, I was talking to Ethel
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: about it earlier today. And she thinks that David wants
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Christine to still be on the show because he wants
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: the money. Because even though he's probably got a successful
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: construction business, he's probably looking at this bag like, this
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: is dope. We can buy a couple more Airbnbs. We
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: can buy another sick ass RV and maybe some go-karts
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: or something to go riding around in the desert and Moab.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Like he's probably seeing it from a financial lens. And
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: I thought that that was kind of an interesting theory
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: because otherwise, why are they on the show? It's not
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: like Christine wants to keep rehashing her past with Cody.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: And it's not like David really wants to be.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know because every time I see David on Instagram,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: he really seems to want to be there. He's sitting
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: right there next to Christine. He's sat. He's talking.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: He's sharing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Actually, a lot of the time I'm like, why are
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you talking? Why are you talking about polygamy? Why are
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you talking for Christine? Let Christine talk for herself. Like
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: sometimes he bothers me because he puts himself forward so much.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So I do think he wants to be there. And
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's because he likes the attention personally. It
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: could be the money, but I also think he likes
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that as well. But I thought that too, if this
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: went away, if the money went away, the last woman
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: standing in a good position, I think would be Christine
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: because she's got a husband. She's got a home. She's
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: got her multiple streams of income and she's got a book.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And I think she still does her MLM stuff. And
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: so I'm sure she'd be secure. But then Cody and
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Robin would probably lose McMansion number two, and they'd have
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to downgrade into some sort of a mid-mod ranch.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: OMG.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: 1,700 square foot or something like that.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: And Mary, she's got the B & B, which she reno'd.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I can tell from the previews that she reno'd. Oh,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: my God. I'm going to get there when I get there.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: But it's just like she sunk all that money into
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the haunted B & B. And how much longer can
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: LuLaRoe go on?
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Who's buying that shit? Is she plunking away money into
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: her retirement? How is she going to sustain herself? I
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. Is Worthy Up really lucrative?
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I do think Christine's in the best position out of everybody.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I think so too.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: We kind of went on on a tangent there about
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: the trajectory of this season. I think ultimately we don't
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: think it's going to go past this season. And if
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: it does, it's probably not going to be good because
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: they're going to be stretching out the money. as much
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: as they can to try and get, I don't know,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: just to keep their bag, I guess.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to go beyond this season if
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it can. I do think that TLC would want to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: continue to milk this sacred cow.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I'm screaming. Yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't get it, but we're here
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: And we hope you're right, Ashley, that it's going to
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: be an entertaining season and it'll pick up.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I would like nothing more, honestly.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the calls, everybody. We truly appreciate it. Again,
• 30:09

• 30:28
