Welcome raccoon. Hi people, this is the Reality TV Cringe Podcast and we

Sister Wives Day. It's my favorite day. We have a lot of shit
0:23
to talk about. We do have a lot of ships. Some things have
0:25
gone down and the Sister Wives multiverse ye that have us very excited, which
0:34
we were going to get into in just a moment. But before we do,
0:37
we do want to say that this is a dumpster for a reason.
0:42
Okay, we're garbage. We are, we're trashy, trash raccoons. We
0:46
swear, we're inappropriate. We're not politically correct. Nope, and we don't
0:50
give a shit now. So if you're around sensitive people, kick him into
0:55
the basement where Christine will make them a nice breakfast with or broke down mywave
1:00
and something else right, burnt toast, burnt toast there. I'm sure she'll
1:03
be appy to do it. She will be happy to do it. Also,
1:06

1:11
sixty followers from two thousands. Okay, here we going. I'm just saying
1:14
we're getting all right? God is this we're getting? I feel like we
1:18
need to be happy where we are. Can it be here now? Are
1:22
you? I'm just saying we're also sixty away from two thousand. That's pretty
1:25
You're a goal setter, Yeah, I am. That's the virgo in,
1:26
a goal setter and a trend setter. Also, we have a Patreon,
1:32
Patreon, dot com sash Reality TV Fringe, yes, now searchable in the
1:36
app. We just uploaded our second episode of The Raccoon Kiki up there,
1:41
that's right, yes, So if y'all want to get a glimpse of what
1:45
we actually look like as our authentic cells. Beautiful. By the way,
1:49
we are very beautiful. We try not to talk about it too much,
1:53
but if you're interested to see what we actually we're on ig now too.
1:57
We just released a reel with our actual faces and bodies, and so if
2:01

2:08
to say about sister Wives on that reel too, Yes we did. We

2:15
see the full reaction and everything, yeah, you got to go to our
2:19
Patreon Baby. Yeah, and we also did some Sister Wives hot goss on
2:22

2:37
also have Welcome to plathfil We're recapping seasons one through three right now, yes,
2:42
to buy our time in the off season before season five and we get
2:46
to see maybe Ethan and Olivia's divorce hopefully. Yes, Olivia is still posting
2:53
about how she's happy and at peace, but nothing about Ethan, so we
2:59
think that she's probably definitely in the process of divorcing Ethan please for his own
3:04
good. Yes, might I add for real? Also, we want to
3:07
make sure all of you Raccoons know that next week, Delia, that's me,
3:12
that's her, I'm Delia. I'm going on vacation. Yeah, she's
3:15
leaving us. I'm taking a little itty bitty road trip up to Des Moines,
3:19
Iowa. Glamorous so gleam orus. But I'm gonna go visit some family
3:23
I'm gonna be gone for a week, So that means that next Monday,
3:28
when we traditionally talk about Temptation Island, we're not going to have an episode,
3:32
no episode. We're taking a break. We're taking a little bit of
3:35
a break. We'll be back the following Wednesday slash Thursday slash Thursday. So
3:39
we're gonna be back next week to talk about Sister Wives, just not Temptation
3:44
Island. We will pick up on both episodes of Temptation Island the following Monday,
3:49
so we'll cover it, just not on that Monday because I got a
3:52
party, Baby's yeah, I got shit to do, people to see.
3:54
We do got shit to do, and I'm not I'm not doing shit while
3:58
you're gone. You're sitting on your ass, you're vaping, I am,
4:00
You're watching trashy television shows. You're eating, you're beautiful. What did you're
4:05
cooking? What are you cooking this? I'm so hungry. Oh yeah,
4:10
I'm probably gonna make some dessert. Tell me more. Yeah, okay,
4:14
I'm gonna make all the food that you can't have. Okay, Well,
4:15
as long as you're having fun while I'm having fun, then we're having fun.
4:18
Baby, we're living a life. Um. But back to the Sister
4:23
Wives. Because last week, right after we recorded our episode on Sister Wiley,
4:28
right after yeah, I was like, oh, come on, can't
4:30
you do it before we record? Come on? Um, TLC dropped the
4:32
season eighteen trailer for Sister Wives. It was it was everything I needed it
4:41
to be and so much more so. Let's I mean again, we recapped
4:44
the whole thing on our raccoon Kiki, But let's just kind of talk a
4:47
little bit about some of the highlights from that trailer. What do you remember
4:51
and what did you love? Well, Robin's full of shit. Oh yeah,
4:56
and she looks terrible and she's crying on her porch. It's pretty she's
5:00
crying on her porch because she's just what's her dream? Mother sitting in a
5:04
rocking chair with her sister. You have a cold, dead heart, you
5:09
know that. Well, it's a fake dream that she has, right if
5:14
she truly dreamt that dream, she truly wanted this for her life. Why
5:17
did she treat the Sister Wife so badly and why did she literally steal their
5:20
husband? Well, I mean I think if you would ask Robin, she
5:24
would say she did none of those things, and that she was an excellent
5:27
sister wife and it's just that she had oranges and they had apples, And
5:30
why did they want her orange when they've got apples. I don't want your
5:32
fucking apple. Got these fantastic oranges. Well, just like Cody, she
5:38
can never take any kind of responsibility or accountability for her actions in destroying this
5:42
entire marriage and family. But in the trailer, she's performing her emotions as
5:46
hard as she can. Yeah, sitting on a bench, morose, dramatic
5:50
as fo the coyote pass bench again God, and just bemoaning the fact that
5:56
all of her dreams are dashed and that these bitches stole her dream. They
6:01
ruined her dream. They don't know how to provide excellent customer surrevice like I
6:08
do with my poo nanny. And maybe her back door, well her mouth
6:14
probably probably probably Maybe, like I said a couple episodes ago, maybe she
6:16
pigs Cody. Oh my God, could say no, I cannot Well no,
6:21
I just feel like he is such a turbo toxic, masculine douchebag that
6:28
he would never allow himself to be pigged. But sometimes those are the ones
6:30
that love it. Sometimes, Um, In the trailer, we also saw
6:36
Mary finally coming to her goddamn senses. Oh my god. Initially she's telling
6:43
Cody just FYI, I'm not the one giving up because I still have hope.
6:46
I'm not walking away. But then we see later in the trailer she's
6:50
actually saying, I can't do this anymore. I'm not going to stay because
6:55
he doesn't want me to stay. He wants nothing to do with me.
6:58
Robin Robin starts crying right as if she doesn't already, Nurse Robin knows that,
7:01
like hello, she knows that all these relationships were doomed from the get
7:05
go anyway, So she's been slowly machiavellian elie is that a word it is
7:13
now, it's a raccoon word. Yeah, she's been the puppet master of
7:16
all of this, I think, in my opinion, Yeah, no,
7:19
I mean I would imagine so. But like, we can't take the blame
7:23
away from Cody Burn. Something has happened to him. He is imploded in
7:27
on himself, and every ounce of frivolity, every ounce of levity, every
7:32
ounce of actual love and compassion that we see in this season and the ones
7:36
preceding this season, these seasons like it's gone. Yeah, he's just a
7:40
black cloud of doom who seems to hate polygamy and seems to hate his actual
7:47
wives. And so it took a long time for Mary because Mary should have
7:51
been done leaving before the catfish shit happened, totally, like when the divorce
7:57
happened. She should have cycled her way of this family. Yep, it
8:01
took a long time. But I'm really happy to see her making the decision
8:03
to go, even though she's saying Cody made a decision, but saying,
8:07
okay, I will I will go. Yeah, And we see on Instagram,
8:11
you know that she's traveling. She's been to London. She's always at
8:15
Disneyland or Disney World. She's always hanging out with her couple of friends that
8:18
she has. Yeah, she seems in her Instagram lighter, happier. With
8:24
all her filters well, I mean they're like, yes, but I mean
8:28
she does seem to be happier. She does. Then we see her in
8:31
the trailer, and the trailer she looks awful. She looks miserable, dude,
8:35
And I mean, I can't blame her. And in the trailer she
8:37
even says Cody is not the happy, go lucky guy that I used to
8:41
know, and it's like, okay, shit, maybe she'll divulge some information.
8:46
Maybe she'll have more screen time in this season than we saw of her
8:50
in season seventeen, because she was like barely even in it. My prediction
8:52
is that she's going to continue to shield for Cody. I think she's going
8:56
to continue to shield until she does that tell All book that I mentioned a
9:01
couple of episodes ago. I just think that she's going to reserve her commentary
9:05
for some kind of a payoff. That would be my prediction, like a
9:09
couple to three five years from now. I really hope that she actually dishes
9:13
some shit out in a book. Though. Listen, if she came out
9:16
strong in this season blasting motherfucking Robin, blasting Cody, and just sharing her
9:20
actual feelings, she would almost guarantee some kind of a setup for a show
9:26
about her dating after she leaves the family, or her life after she leaves
9:31
the family, or her and Leon and the other kids, or her and
9:35
the wives. Yeah, if she were honest. But that's the thing Mary,
9:39
out of all the wives over the years, well Mary and Robin,
9:43
they've been the most dishonest. They've hidden things the most. Christine can't help
9:46
but emote and show how she feels. And Janelle she's tried to protect the
9:52
family, but her anger, her torrean bull anger, comes out from time
9:56
to time and you can kind of tell how she's feeling. But Mary has
9:58
always hidden, protected and shielded Cody, and I don't think that's going to
10:01
change in this season. Personally, probably not. I'd love to see it,
10:05
though I would love to see it too. I want to see the
10:07
conversation that she has with Robin expanded and see how Robin actually reacts to her
10:11
saying I'm done, Yeah, I'm over. I know Robin starts crying her
10:15
fake crocodile tears, but I wonder what else gets talked about, if Robin's
10:20
like begging for her to stay or what. Even though Robin knows yeah,
10:24
I can't imagine that Robin's going to beg her to stay because Robin does know
10:28
that Cody does that. He doesn't have one shred of one feeling for Mary
10:35
Brown, not at all. So if if Robin has any compassion in her
10:37
heart, she would let her go and support her decision to do so.
10:41
I would hope we will see I don't know the other. And of course,
10:46
the best highlight of this trailer was Janelle Honey because Janelle is in her
10:52
new apartment which looks like a dorm room, like, I guess it's what
10:56
she can afford after Cody and Robin have taken all the money out of the
11:00
family account and there's no money for Janelle to get her own house. She's
11:03
there with Cody and they're arguing. They are arguing. Cody keeps talking over
11:09
Janelle, and Janelle says, can you shut your fucking mouth for one moment,
11:11
and then Cody says, no, no, no, no, no,
11:15
I'm not doing this, gets up starts to leave. Janelle's like,
11:18
you're really gonna leave? If you leave, we're done, and he's like,
11:20
yeah, I'm going. She also turns to grab him, and she
11:24
actually does grab his jacket physically to try to keep him from leaving. He
11:28
rips his arm out of her hand and then he walks out the door and
11:31
she says fuck you. She's like, fuck you. Before even that,
11:35
when he was in the kitchen, he was starting to talk about their marriage
11:37
again, and she's like, no, no, no, no, no,
11:39
you're not gonna blame all of this on me, Cody Brown. It's
11:43
not just me, It is not just her, it's him. We also
11:46
saw Garrison and Janelle and other family members talking about how Robin can have Cody
11:52
like they're of an older age. They don't need their dad around, so
11:56
Robin you can have him. We don't need him essentially, And I'm just
11:58
like, this is what this is the payoff Beadris, what we have been
12:03
waiting for started and we've been podcasting almost a year, no, right,
12:09
but we were talking about this ship for a long time before we started podcasting
12:13
on this. Please DLC, please please give us what we want and then
12:20
give us a mala look until A'll get rid of Sukian, get rid of
12:24
Shamalama ding down, get a new get Tamarin Hall back baby, get E
12:28
levenz at Oh, get somebody in there who's gonna ask real questions and hold
12:35
Cody in Robin's feet to the fire, because season after season after season,
12:41
nobody does this. Nobody does this. And I swear to God, if
12:45
they have Cody start dictating the shots of what questions can be answered and which
12:48
ones he's going to talk about, and they just let this tell all be
12:52
another repeat of season seventeen. Yeah, but you're still gonna for sure,
12:58
and we're going to rage into the void with the other raccoons in this goddamn
13:01
dump star. But I'm excited. So I'm just hoping that what we saw
13:07
in the trailer isn't all of the good parts from the season. Wouldn't.
13:11
Yes, but it can't be because each episode is an hour. Yeah,
13:16
so there's gonna be some stuff. We're gonna see some staff. There's always
13:18
layers in this fucking shown some of the mundane episodes when we're doing our recaps
13:22
in the earlier seasons, there's some moments, there's some shit there. Yeah,
13:26
even though it's kind of boring now, Raccoons. You know that we
13:31
talk about a variety of different reality television programs, but our favorite thing to
13:37
talk about is Sister Wives, with maybe Plathfille kind of a close second.
13:43
But we love the Sister Wives. And so we are going to start recording
13:48
video content. Yeah, we're going to record our podcasts. Yea, put
13:52
that on YouTube. We've got a YouTube channel. There's nothing on it,
13:54
so don't go looking at it. We'll let you know when it's when it's
13:58
live, but we intend to post clips of our podcast on YouTube on Instagram,
14:05
So if you're not following us on Instagram, do so. When we
14:07
start our YouTube it goes live, make sure that you subscribe there as well.
14:11
But most of our content are video content and us just absolutely letting loose
14:16
like a couple of vulgar gutter snipes, well, which we are totally total
14:22
gutter snipes. That's going to be on Patreon. Yes, if you guys
14:24
haven't subscribed, you really do need to because that's where the shit's gonna be
14:28
good. That's where the party is, Ben, that's all the good shit
14:31
over there, and every single podcast episodes add for you over there too,
14:37
so great. Yes, we love a dysfunctional family and we love tearing it
14:41
apart. Yeah, that's our raccoons do, all right. So the season
14:46
eighteen of Sister Wives comes out August twentieth. That's my birthday month, bitch,
14:50
that is you're a leo. That's my birthday gift? Is this season
14:54
eighteen premiere? Oh my gosh, what is the day of your birth?
14:58
August fourth? Oh my god, it's coming up, baby, see baby,
15:03
Oh my god, what it can be? Twenty seven. Shut your
15:05
mouth, Shut your dirty horn mouth. It's kind of getting me in my
15:09
head a little bit. I'm like, Oh, you're on that train,
15:11
that locomotive to thirty Chuka Chuka Chuka chu chuck chuk chuk. But I have
15:16
a quarterline crisis. Do you have like any gray hair as yet? I've
15:20
had one. Oh, I've had one come in and it was stark white.
15:24
Wow. Yeah, that's just a harbinger of things to Compietro. I
15:31
don't mean to laugh, but I'm sitting over here in gen X like saying,
15:35
whatever with your one gray hair? All right, without any further ado,
15:41
let's get into the first episode because we're covering two episodes of Sister Wives
15:45
because back in the day they only had half hour episodes and they were boring.
15:48
That's right, So we are on Sister Wives season three. We're covering
15:52
today episodes ten and episodes eleven and episode ten is Sister Wives on Littlestrail on
16:00
the Loundling is strip. Baby, We're going to party, they're going to
16:03
get a makeover, and then they're gonna go have some girl tying Friday night.
16:08
So much I just got paid while they don't work. So but I'm
16:11
Friday night, and Janelle just got paid. I want to take her money
16:18
and go party on the strap. Maybe we don't start there, though,
16:22
we start back at the gym. Another gym episode. I was surprised to
16:26
see that douchebag Bill the Trainer, Oh, just being a trainer as hard
16:32
as he can. I bet Mary has a low key crush on him,
16:34
and Christine because they both they do. Do you kind of seem blurty,
16:38
don't they? I mean he objectively, he's probably more attractive than Cody,
16:44
right, I guess. I mean he's just kind of a blockhead looking guy.
16:48
And every time he talks, like his mouth is also talking as hard
16:52
as it can. Yeah, really like, I'm like, get calmed down,
16:56
Jesus, christ are you on Roid's it's scaring me. Well. The
17:00
only reason we kind of open with the gym is because I guess the sister
17:03
wives are starting to think about another business because previously they were meeting with Mona
17:07
to become real estate agents, and apparently that failed. I'm not sure what
17:11
happened with that, but Mona's gone, and now we've got Bill the Trainer,
17:15
and they want to open their own fitness studio or Jim. It sounds
17:18
like a bad idea my opinion. Well, because they're not, which is
17:23
fine. I'm fat, No you're not. Yes, but they're not I
17:26
committed to the press. But I mean they're they're not experts in fitness,
17:30
no, not at all. They're not like living because later in this episode
17:33
they're weighed. Yeah. I just tell you they're not trying to be fit.
17:37
I mean, I know they're going to see Bill because he's handsome,
17:41
but they're not eating differently. They're not into nutrition. I mean, they're
17:45
out of shape, and a lot of their kids are out of shape.
17:48
I'm like, why are you opening a gym? Oh, it's such a
17:51
dumb idea. And it's like, I thought that Janelle's dream was the gym.
17:55
I didn't realize it was like a family thing that they all wanted to
17:57
do. At the beginning of it, I didn't know either, So then
18:00
they eventually decide to not do it. It's a bad idea, but Janelle
18:03
wants to open it up. Still, I have no idea. I do
18:07
not get to it. In Current Year of Our Lord twenty twenty three,
18:10
allegedly, Janelle is down a hundred pounds or seven stone so she's lost a
18:15
lot of weight. Although I saw a picture of her recently and she kind
18:18
of looks similar, but I don't know. Yeah, she looks healthy,
18:21
she looks really good. But apparently they're excited in this season about this gym.
18:26
And Bill has a friend Nick, who's an investor in health clubs or
18:30
whatever, and so they come over to somebody's house and they sit down and
18:34
they talk about how excited they are to open a club, and they want
18:37
to start scouting locations. And Janelle's like, you know, when I'm done
18:41
with work, you don't work, No, you don't want to. But
18:45
what I'm done with work? You don't work. You're not you don't have
18:47
a job, you don't work. But what I'm done with work, I
18:51
want to go to like a fitness club where I can just pull up right
18:53
to the door, walk in. It's super easy, Like I don't have
18:56
to try too hard to get fit. I'm like, now that's the whole
19:02
place. It's hard work to get fit. Yes, it's hard work to
19:07
lose weight. You're telling me. I know you're sitting here working at me
19:11
with my eyeballs, and you know how crazy I've been for the last four
19:15
weeks. Every day I come over here to do the pod, She's like,
19:18
can you give me a cinnamon roll? I send you shorts every night
19:22
every night. What I do instead of eating a meal at night, because
19:26
I stop eating at like four o'clock because you're in the actioning is in fasting.
19:30
Okay, I'm doubling up tikto on the fasting. I know we're on
19:32
the Sister whis but bear with me. Recolons every night. What I do
19:34
when I'm sitting in bed is I just scroll YouTube shorts of people doing restaurant
19:40
reviews from like Italian places with Penny Olive vodka and fucking lasagna and all of
19:45
these fucking cinnamon roll recipes because there's that TikTok cinnamon roll recipe where you pour
19:49
like the heavy whipping cream over the cinnamon roter. And I just watched them
19:55
and my husband walks in. He's like, what are you doing? And
19:56
I'm like, I'm having dessert. I'm eating my dinner. Yesterday, him
20:03
and I were antiquing, and he's like, you know what she does every
20:06
night before bed watching those recipe videos. It's like torture because it's on the
20:10
diet too it is. You're forcing him to be on the diet. He
20:12
has to listen to me because I won't put on headphones. I listen to
20:17
it loud. I'm like, can you hear this? Do you hear what
20:18
they're eating? They're doing the restaurant review of soul food. Bitch, it
20:23
looks so good. He just keeps talking. He's like, all I want
20:26
is double quarter pound. He's like, can you please take me to get
20:30
some friends? He's lost twenty two pounds, He's lost a lot. I
20:33
haven't weighed myself because I'm crazy in my head. You know, as soon
20:37
as I weigh myself, then I will weigh myself every single day. Yeah,
20:41
you shouldn't do that, but I am taking it seriously. And it's
20:42
hard to not have any sugar. It's hard not to have any carbs.
20:48
It's hard not to eat after four o'clock. It's hard. I'm sorry,
20:51
I going crazy, but I'm just talking about the browns here, Like,
20:55
what are you doing to sacrifice your bad habits on the altar of fits to
21:00
qualify you to be some kind of expert to open up a gym? This
21:03
is they're not good business people. No, they're really not and they're obviously
21:07
all struggling and depressed in Las Vegas, in the city of sin. They're
21:12
not happy, so they're probably emotionally eating, which is you know, people,
21:18
I get it, I get it. But we hear from Christine in
21:22
this episode two that she's been having a really hard time, so much so
21:25
that she's been on antidepressants and anxiety medication, right, which is like,
21:30
big yikes, So no wonder you're having a hard time just in general,
21:33
yes, And she attributes her need for medication to the move to Las Vegas
21:38
and all of the kids struggling. But then she says, and of course
21:42
onboarding a new wife has been very difficult, and so she's had to get
21:48
some medication to help her with her depression. And by the way, if
21:51
you need it, you should take medication, go to a doctor and get
21:53
some help. And Christine is so troubled emotionally in her pain body, she's
22:00
so troubled by what's happening in her family, even though she's putting on this
22:03
quirky happy face, that she needs to have some medication to help her to
22:07
cope. And that's sad. That makes me really sad for her. It's
22:10
just I think this is the beginning of where Cody starts limiting intimacy with her.
22:15
I think that's what is causing her this issue. Yeah, because because
22:18
seeing her with David now in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty three,
22:22
and they're like always cuddlin, they're always touching each other, holding hands,
22:26
like they're very romantic. She strikes me as somebody who needs that in her
22:30
life. And I feel like the reason why she says things like it's really
22:34
hard to onboard a new wife, it's because, well, that new wife
22:37
takes up the majority of Cody's pretensions, supplants everybody else's time with him.
22:42
My guess would be that Cody really is only prioritizing intimacy right now with Mary
22:48
and Robin, not Janelle. He's probably not been intimate with Janelle since Savannah
22:52
was born. Why do you think Mary? That's interesting? Probably because Mary's
22:56
his first love and at this time she didn't betray him by sending Banana to
23:00
her catfish. Really, that's what I think. I don't know, because
23:03
Mary, I think, is also inherently unhappy, and at the end of
23:07
this episode we see some of that come out on the couch she's unhappy,
23:08
but I'm sure he's still intimate with her to some degree. And Mary takes
23:14
crumbs, right, She takes whatever she can get, so maybe he's limiting
23:18
some of it with her. But whatever she gets, she takes highly up.
23:22
And Christine's not getting shit. We know she's not getting shit, man.
23:26
Christine's dealing with truly. Christine's dealing with the move. Christine's dealing with
23:30
like a lot of kids and so but yeah, she's feeling it and I
23:33
felt bad for her. And she's going to the gym and she's trying to
23:36
get in shape by gas. I don't know. I think they're performing fitness
23:38
supposed to, like trying to actually undertake a fitness program. After the gym,
23:42
though, they go to a photo shoot. No, non't know.
23:45
After the gym, they go home and then they go to get like their
23:48
hair done and a pat of cure and get all gussied up for the night
23:52
out on the town. And then they have a photo shoot like what's that?
23:56
Which is weird? So a photoshoot with just the four wives maybe because
24:00
it's like a sister wives bonding thing. They're trying to like work on their
24:03
relationships together. Because now that they're all in separate houses and stuff, it
24:07
may be difficult, that's my guess. And all of this is just performative,
24:11
yeah, because I don't think anybody really wants to be there besides maybe
24:14
Mary and Robin. Okay, and Christine just because she feels pretty and feels
24:18
like she can have fun and she and I was like, Okay, I'm
24:22
just here to pay the bill. I know, I really really is just
24:23
swing she won't get that TLC paycheck yep. So that was interesting. There
24:29
was also a conversation when they were getting their hair done and taking pictures about
24:33
how modesty is very important to them, how modesty and living in the city
24:37
of sin is a little bit of an incongruent idea, but you know,
24:42
that's just something of value that they hold dear to themselves. And then they
24:45
show kind of a clip of McKelty coming home from school in a tank talk
24:51
not on like I'm wearing now a tank stop, and Cody's like, hold
24:55
on a minute, hold on, what are you wearing? And Machelti's like
24:57
I had to it was a project at school or something. McKelty has also
25:00
been dinged by Mary though for modesty yep, for not wearing a modest clothes
25:06
at all, by the way. Yeah, and she's been brought up a
25:07
couple of times for how she dresses, which I guess goes against the way
25:11
the Browns do it. Well, this is like a tenant of Mormonism too,
25:15
is like modesty and your body's a temple. Like my Mormon friend Ethel
25:19
said that, you know, tattoos are frowned upon, and we hear the
25:22
Browns talk about how they don't want their kids staff tattoos or piercings or anything
25:26
like that. Janelle eventually says, oh, well we would. We don't
25:30
prefer it, but if they choose to do it when they're eighteen, then
25:33
we can't really stop them because that's their life. But the modesty thing was
25:36
interesting because they kept bringing up McKelty and Christine had said that that's the way
25:40
McKelty acts out, is that when she's angry or whatever, or if she
25:45
wants to rebel, then she will do so by wearing less. But she
25:48
doesn't. It's not like she's walking around like Mariah Platt. You Hello,
25:53
we're in Vegas, where it's probably one hundred and twenty degrees in the summertime
25:59
and let her wear a fucking normal tank top than any other girl's gonna wear.
26:02
Wearing a longsleeve shirt with a tank top over it in the summertime sounds
26:06
like actual torch. Yes, absolutely, geez. So the women prepare to
26:10
go out for their night out, and Cody is going to take care of
26:15
all of the kids at some wives house I don't know, Christine Christine's house.
26:19
So all of the kids start heading over there. The women get into
26:23
Mary's convertible, yeah, and head down to the strip to have some fun.
26:30
And where did they start off? They're like zip lining. Yeah,
26:32
they start off zip lining, which is kind of weird because it was like
26:34
zip lining through like the strip or like playing through a big old mall or
26:38
something, which I would hate. Why, because I'm kind of fun.
26:41
I don't want to saying everybody's saying about booty flying down across Okay, nobody
26:47
care, what are you talking about. They're not looking at your booty,
26:51
your zip lining. You're going very fast. They're not seeing every single attribute
26:55
of your big gass Beatrix float and it's not float slowly down the fucking strip.
27:03
It would feel really, I'd rather zip line through like a forest or
27:07
something. Okay, that'd be cool. Well, it's Mary and it's Christine
27:11
that do the zip line because Robin looks like she's maybe six or seven months
27:15
pregnant. She's pretty pregnant here, she's pretty big. Yeah, so she's
27:18
not zip lining in Janelle for whatever reason, is not zip lining. But
27:22
when Christine and Mary get to the end of their zip line, they are
27:26
greeted by the Holy Father and Jesus the Son in a line cloth. I'm
27:30
like, welcome to the Las Vegas strip. Baby. That was pretty funny.
27:33
Yeah, And then I had to show you my pictures from the Vegas
27:37
strip when I went at nineteen. Yes, I have to show you the
27:40
one that I took with an Elvis impersonator two. He was a creeper,
27:42
really small a b oh, yeah, but it was pretty funny you.
27:47
Yeah. Meanwhile, back at the house, Cody is helping day with his
27:52
homework, and I guess Robin typically has to sit down and focus on Dayton
27:56
the entire time he's doing homework or else he gets to tracted, whereas Cody
28:02
just sent him to his room and he managed to do his homework pretty well.
28:06
So Cody was proud of himself and felt like he accomplished something with that.
28:10
Yeah, I mean he felt like he was being a dad, which
28:12
is which is interesting, right, Yeah, because he's not really parenting or
28:17
dealing with any of the other kids. And in fact, we see Logan
28:19
again being parentified and having did go and take care of some of the other
28:22
kids. He's like chauffeuring some of the kids from the other houses over to
28:26
Christine's house in Cody's convertible with Madison and stuff. So it's like he Cody
28:33
doesn't give a shit about any of the og kids. No, I mean,
28:36
he yells at Leon because Leon's not taking care of something which Leon didn't
28:40
know that they needed to Joe when he leaves the house to go to Robbins
28:45
at the end of the night, he leaves Aspen with Truly taking care of
28:48
Truly rocking truly, And so all the older kids are taking care of all
28:52
the younger kids and he's not really doing anything though. It was kind of
28:56
funny though. Gwendolen had like a marker, yeah, and she was sniffing
29:00
it and He's like, oh wait a minute, now, we don't sniff
29:03
glue. We don't sniff pens. That's very bad for you. Why wouldn't
29:07
your teacher tell you that? And I think it was Aspen who said they're
29:10
scented. Marker's dad, Yeah, chill out. They smell like things And
29:12
that's the whole point to this, to smell them. Dummy, he's so
29:18
stupid. It's stupid. So he only watches them what for like a few
29:21
hours. And then I thought that this part was so weird about how he
29:26
had to take all the younger kids home, although he didn't even take all
29:30
of them home. He only took Robin's kids home to Robin's house and then
29:34
left all the older kids of the respective houses to take care of the younger
29:38
kids there. Yeah, so Christine's older kids were taking care of the littles,
29:42
Janelle's kids were taking care of the littles, and Mary Leon was just
29:47
by themselves. Right, So it's just like, Okay, he's the kind
29:49
of dad who, when left with the kids, calls it babysitting. Right,
29:55
I guess I have to babysit in my kids. No, bitch,
29:56
these are your children right there with you. You're a dad, this is
30:00
what happens, but you produced them. It's like such a marvelous feat of
30:03
fatherhood to stay home with your children. Well, you made them, so
30:07
this is how that works. Sorry. Meanwhile, the wives are still on
30:11
the strip and they're walking down. They're kind of getting into more seedy areas
30:15
of the strip. Robin is being followed around by some monster looking thing,
30:18
which is so dumb. They happen upon some silver man, so he spray
30:23
painted with silver. Was it Christine or Mary was Christine gave him a little
30:30
kisses and stuff, and they were having fun, and then the monster surprises
30:33
Robin, and Robin screams. She freaks out, and then she goes and
30:37
hides behind Christine, and I saw a little snippet of her fucking crying face.
30:42
She cried. She cried, She cried because she was scared. It's
30:47
a it's a monster on the Las Vegas Strip. Not everybody's here to attack
30:51
you, Robin. I know that's a that's a strange idea, But that's
30:53
all in distress. Not every experience in moment is set up so that you
30:57
can be a victim. Yeah, always making it about her, always always
31:00
bringing the fucking drama. She's such a baby. It should just be a
31:03
fun thing, Yeah, really like, chill the fuck out. There's people
31:07
impersonating everything on the fucking Vegas strips. It's just the way it is.
31:11
Yeah, Like, that's just kind of the fun part of Vegas if you
31:15
can just kind of get a good attitude about it. She can't, though.
31:18
They venture further and they see the hose out there's a girl dancing on
31:23
a bartop and Robin is disapproving and Mary is disapproving, and they have the
31:29
conversation about modesty again. But what I really liked was when Janelle said,
31:33
like, I don't care, Like, you can choose whatever way you want
31:37
to live, and if this is something you want to do because you like
31:38
doing it, that I'm all in support of that, and I just want
31:42
everybody else to support my choice to not be a part of that so base
31:48
as ever, She's my favorite wife. I love her. That's what real
31:51
feminism is, by the way you let women do what they want to do,
31:55
even if it's something that you would never do or you disapprove of or
31:57
you disapprove of. Yeah, they have the right to do that, and
32:00
you support their right to do that. That's what freedom really is. Anyway,
32:04
Thanks Janelle, Okay, and So the next segment after this, it's
32:09
the next day or something, the women go back to the gym. BA.
32:15
They go back to the gym, and it has been thirty days since
32:17
the gym episode notorious Gym episode a few episodes ago where they first got weighed
32:22
and Janelle was fucking traumatized. Yeah, and Christine was quirky and giggling,
32:28
pretending she wasn't crushed by her weight, you know, she was demed.
32:30
Oh my god. Mary was embarrassed, and Robin was like, oh god,
32:34
it's not that bad. Yeah, it's not that. It's still a
32:36
skinny legend. Yeah, and I'm pregnant to a gone um. And it's
32:42
time to weigh in to see how much weight they've lost over the thirty days.
32:47
Why why did we have to do this again two times in a season
32:52
to weigh themselves on national TV? So the first up is Christine and the
32:59
last time she was waged she was two twenty two. Sure due to twenty
33:02
twos in the shoes in the house anyway, she was two twenty two,
33:07
which my husband when he weighs that, I call him an ascended fatster.
33:10
Oh my god, not a master and ascended master he's an ascended fatster at
33:15
two twenty two. So she lost three pounds clocking in at two nineteen.
33:22
Yeah, which depresses her because she was hoping to lose ten pounds. Yeah.
33:25
Mary gets up next, and if you recall, she was to fourteen,
33:30
although she corrected Bill and said, actually that's two thirteen. Yeah,
33:34
but it was two fourteen. It was two fourteen, and her current weight
33:37
is two eleven. People at these people want to open a fitness channel,
33:43
think that this is going to be their life and their business. I mean,
33:45
come on, you got to show them commitment anyway. Next we have
33:47
Janelle, Yeah, and she was two seventy one to seventy one thirty days
33:53
ago and she is currently to sixty eight, so she lost three pounds.
33:58
None of these women are trying, and they're talking about working out with Bill.
34:02
I think Mary says that she goes five times a week, but I'm
34:07
like, really, how much are you eating to counterbalance the amount of exercise
34:10
you claim to be doing. Yeah, And that's the thing, how hard
34:13
are you working though those five times a week? Because some of those exercises
34:16
that we see on camera don't look like they're real exercises. I'm sorry.
34:22
It's just like it's and I'm not like trying to shame or anything. It
34:24
just seems like it's very easy work, and I feel like there's a balance,
34:30
like if you want to see like Mary even says it in this episode,
34:32
it's like, if I want to see the results that I want,
34:36
I have to work harder. That's just the fact of the matter. Yes,
34:38
so, and it sucks, Yeah, I mean it really just speaks
34:43
to how surface level they are as a family. Yeah. Now they're talking
34:50
about wanting to open a gym, but nobody goes to the gym right,
34:53
nobody's committed to eating right, nobody's committed to exercising consistently. It really just
34:59
speaks to who they are as people. They're looking for the next get rich
35:04
quick scheme, which is how they all end up in MLMs. By the
35:06
way, Oh of course, this is how they end up in the work
35:07
that they're currently doing. But it's like, come on, guys, I
35:10
mean, if you want your business to succeed, you have to be passionate
35:13
about what it is that you're doing, right, That's how you create the
35:16
most successful businesses doing something you love to do. Yeah, but they just
35:20
don't get it. They're just chasing dollars. They're chasing from a place of
35:23
scarcity and lack and not having because they're stressed out because of money. In
35:29
fact, we end this episode with Mary on the couch crying because Bill the
35:32
Trainer has said, I'm worried about you. You know, you're working out,
35:36
but you're not losing weight, and it's because you're so stressed out.
35:38
Yeah, and if you aren't going to do something about your stress, you're
35:43
really never going to lose weight, which I don't agree with. That's not
35:45
scientific, but I get his point. And on the couch, Mary is
35:49
saying, I just am having a hard time letting things go, and she
35:53
even brings up her anger. Did you notice that, yeah, a little
35:57
bit that she's getting more frustrated at things and she's having a hard time just
36:00
adjusting and letting things go. When Cody tries to tell her, it's not
36:05
that big of a deal. You need to let it go, and she
36:07
doesn't know how to do that. And then at the end she's talking about
36:12
money and how she's worried about whether or not they're going to be able to
36:15
make rent that month, and I'm like, damn. So even with your
36:17
TLC checks and the remainder of your family pot that you had from Janelle's money,
36:24
you guys still can't afford all of your rents. Yeah, And which
36:28
rent are they prioritizing the most? Like if she's worried about her rent or
36:34
she worried about everybody's rent making the ends meet, I don't know, but
36:37
she's worried about it. And whatever's coming in from TLC is not coming in
36:43
in a timely way, or it's not enough to sustain for a separate households
36:46
on all of the things that are associated with those household car payments, from
36:52
groceries, lights, bills, school everything. There's so much money that's coming
36:57
out of the Browns, you got to have money coming in. And doesn't
37:00
sound like there's a lot coming in right now. Well, of course this
37:02
turns around. Ultimately they go to the cul de Sac. They have four
37:06
fucking mansions and they seem to be doing great. But right now it's hard.
37:08
It's hard for Christine because of Robin yet, and it's hard for Mary
37:13
because of the kids and because of money. And it's hard for Janelle too
37:16
of course because of that. And then you know, Robin's just like,
37:20
where do I put the bill? We'll just put the bill on the table.
37:22
Yeah, because she gets the husband. This Victoria's secret bill is okay,
37:25
so to put it right here on the table at Christine says Christine.
37:28
You'll take here that. Thank you, Thank you a hidden I see you.
37:31
I've got Cody at my house again tonight, by the way, thank
37:34
you. I'll take him off your hands. See you so good. Okay,
37:39
we've got one more episode to cover. Why don't we take a little
37:43
bit of a breaky poof for Beatrice, who's just over there freeving. You're
37:45
just freaking out, like, we've got to get these ass ads. We
37:49
gotta put some ads in girl, all right, So we'll take a couple
37:52
of minutes to do some ads and we'll be back on the other side.
37:54
See you then bye, right, all right, we are back from the
38:00
break and ready to get into the next episode of The Sister Wives again.
38:06
We're in season three and now we're going to be covering episode eleven, entitled
38:09
Cody climbs into the Ring. So cringe like a dingdong, So cringe to
38:15
the Mma ring he peeked in high school and now he's got to prove his
38:20
masculine. He just can't help bringing it up either. I was I was
38:23
cringing. I was literally cringing so bad. Well, we start off this
38:28
episode, though not with Cody, but we're back with the women and we're
38:31
at the gym again and it's gonna be It's not right now, but it's
38:36
gonna be their second way in. Yeah, so in thirty more days.
38:39
That it's been thirty more days since the last time, so wow, we're
38:44
going to see if they've lost any more weight because the last time, which
38:46
is just the last episode we just covered, they lost two or three pounds.
38:50
Who didn't lose anything? Was it Mary? Mary didn't lose anything this
38:53
time? Okay? Well, this time she didn't lose anything. Okay,
38:55
Well, we'll get into the weight. So we're going to continue to talk
38:58
about that. But we do get into a discussion when we're getting some of
39:01
these gym shots about Mary because we were talking about in this last episode how
39:06
she's very stressed. We go a little bit more deeper into this and Cody
39:10
starts talking about how this anger, yeah, that she has that she referenced
39:16
comes out in little ways like Mary tries to hide her anger, but it
39:22
leaks out. That's what Cody says. And I'm just wondering, what do
39:23
you think Mary is so angry about, probably her life. She's probably not
39:28
happy with herself, if I beg to guess, she's probably the same type
39:32
of person that I am with my anger. I don't express my anger very
39:37
well sometimes, so I just bottle it in. But when you bottle it
39:39
in, you end up being kind of an unpleasant person, which would make
39:44
sense with some of the abuse allegations I heard from some of the kids and
39:47
how she's been kind of a cold, callous person to the wives. So
39:52
she probably lives her life in a way of Yeah, we see her happy
39:57
and nice on TV, but the cameras are off. She's kind of a
40:00
bitter, lonely, angry person. Well, we've also seen on the television
40:06
though, like when she was yelling at all of the kids that time she
40:09
snapped at McKelty for what McKelty was wearing, Like you can see her anger.
40:14
And I'm just wondering, though, what are you so frustrated by Because
40:16
you're the one who introduced Robin to this family, You're the one who kind
40:22
of pushed this whole situation forward, and you were a part of the decision
40:28
to go to Las Vegas. You thought it was the right thing to do.
40:30
You went and sculped out the places to check it out. Like,
40:34
why are you so upset and what are you so angry about? So I'm
40:36
just wondering if behind the scenes, Cody is starting the neglect like you reference
40:40
just a little while ago, like not sleeping with Christine. You said he's
40:44
sleeping with Mary. But I'm wondering it's probably less and less though if she
40:49
was probably the favorite wife before Robin tapering off. Yeah, that's what I'm
40:52
saying. Maybe there's some acting out with Leon that Mary is also dealing with.
40:58
I'm not sure, but she's pissed off, yeah, and stressed.
41:00
In the last episode, she's trying to give the illusion of working out.
41:04
I think she said five times a week, that's what she's saying. But
41:07
like in this episode, so just one episode later, she's talking about how
41:12
she's not getting to the gym, she's not doing what she knows she needs
41:15
to do, so it's not helping her stress. So proving once again that
41:20
they're lying. Yeah, totally lying. It's all just for the cameras and
41:23
how embarrassing, How embarrassing to lie on camera and then have to get weight
41:29
three times in a season and have your weight just be broadcasting and like,
41:34
look, I'm not shaming people who are trying to lose weight or are actively
41:38
trying to better themselves in your life. Everybody goes up and down like there's
41:43
nothing wrong without it. Yeah, it's life. But I could not imagine
41:49
being on camera, Like I feel like if I was doing this on camera,
41:51
I would hold myself accountable because I would not want to have the embarrassment
41:54
and the shame afterwards of like not losing the weight or not getting to my
41:59
goal. I would be going and want to hard. Yeah, just because
42:02
I'm self centered. Unless you want to open a gym, right, and
42:07
you have this awesome opportunity with this national platform on TLC. You've got all
42:12
these people who know who you are, because when they were walking down the
42:15
strip in the other episode, everybody was looking. They know who you are.
42:16
So you have this opportunity to open this gym. Why wouldn't you be
42:21
going as hard as fuck to lose weight, to get into shape and prove
42:23
that you know what you're doing. Because part of that battle is battling the
42:27
ship inside of you though, and battling your mind. And so obviously these
42:31
women are struggling hard core behind the scenes, and they don't have the self
42:37
discipline to push themselves to do better because they're probably sitting in their sadness.
42:43
Honestly, No, that sounds dark, but Mary definitely is Christine, Yeah,
42:47
I think Christine is as well. Yeah. So meanwhile, though,
42:51
over at Janelle's house, she's doing one hour a day of yoga of yoga
42:54
and working out, which is so she's actually putting the effort into it.
42:59
I don't think any of these women are changing how they eat. No,
43:01
and I don't mean to make this like a diet intensive episode because I'm focused
43:06
on it in my own life, but like you really like the eating portion
43:09
is just as important, if not more than the exercise portion. In fact,
43:14
if you really get hyper vigilant and disciplined with your eating, like you
43:17
don't really have to exercise that much when you're bigger to lose a substantial amount
43:22
of weight, right, But these women I don't think are willing to do
43:25
that, because I think they do derive a lot of comfort and cope from
43:30
the food that they're eating, and I can't blame them because this is a
43:31
weird situation. Well, and Cody's obviously not giving them the comfort and support
43:37
that he's giving Robin during her pregnancy and all that when we get to later
43:40
in the episode, But like he's obviously neglecting these women in more ways than
43:45
just intimacy physical intimacy. And that's what I just wish they were showing in
43:49
these seasons. Just show talk to us about that, like, let us
43:52
really see instead of just pretending that everything's great. And it's my own personal
43:58
problem and it's an article of may face and it's what I have to do.
44:00
I've got to suffer in order to be faithful right to my religion and
44:06
to my husband and to this goal of our celestial kingdom. And see,
44:09
my thing is like who is bringing on all of these gym episodes? Like
44:14
is it Cody? Did Cody have a handle in production of this season and
44:19
all of these seasons where he's like, oh, yeah, it would be
44:21
a good idea of like the wives went to a gym, and then we
44:22
could talk about opening up a gym business and we can have a business party.
44:27
They could be really good, but like it's his sly way of being,
44:30
like, yeah, get on the treadmill. Yeah, maybe like you
44:34
here with like Bravo Real Housewives franchises like that, some of these wives get
44:38
together well in advance of their new season and just start planning storylines and planning
44:45
like conflicts and different things. And so I'm just wondering if maybe some of
44:50
that is going on. I think that they really want to start this business,
44:52
even though they have no idea what is entailed, right, and obviously
44:55
they never do it, and so I don't know if they ever open a
44:58
gym, We'll see, do they They don't, Okay, so it just
45:01
never gets off the ground. A pipe dream, Yeah, yeah, I
45:05
don't know. I just feel like sad a little bit too. I just
45:09
feel sad for these women because I can't even imagine if you're asking me to
45:15
get on a scale in front of America and show my girth and everything,
45:20
and me trying to work out and almost puking because build a trainers such an
45:23
asshole, by the way, and he's pushing me way too hard and he's
45:27
yelling at me in the fucking middle of a gym. I just don't know.
45:30
I wouldn't be able to do it. I feel bad for these women.
45:31
I feel bad for them too. And so then we get to their
45:35
fucking weigh ends, their third way ends of the season, sixty days in
45:37
on their diet and fitness program, and Janelle's the first one, and she
45:43
waited at what two sixty two? Yeah, so she's lost ten pounds in
45:46
total? Really, it's nine pounds yeah, over two months. Yeah,
45:50
and over two months, which okay, I mean whatever still was something.
45:52
Mary didn't lose anything nothing. Christine I think, lost four pounds, yeah,
45:57
and she felt like a loser for a total of seven pounds in sixty
46:00
days. And I'm not going to judge that because I'm sitting over here as
46:04
fat as a racqu just eating my garbage and me all give me the garbage
46:08
too. I'm getting fat on the go. I'm not going to judge.
46:12
But it's like, yeah, there's other things going on, and I think
46:15
Bill tries to get to the bottom of that with Mary, at least with
46:19
Mary and a little bit with Christine as well. He's like, well,
46:22
are you going to do something about it? What are you gonna do?
46:23
And she's saying, I don't know He's like, well, are you gonna
46:25
find it? Are you gonna figure it out? And she's like yeah,
46:29
yeah, but she's like, I'm honestly, I'm not as committed as I
46:32
should be at home. It's like that's the issue, though, When are
46:35
you going to get into the gym? Right? Like, when are you
46:37
gonna like actually commit, like you have to do those things in order to
46:39
lose weight. And I'm just like, none of these women want this is
46:42
all performative. Can we leave? Can we stop doing the gym episodes?
46:45
Thank you? And then we leave, and then we go baby furniture shopping
46:49
Ford. We go back to the second hand furniture store where we find Theo,
46:55
the salesman who is the bright shining star in this episode. He's just
46:59
ready to sell furniture. He's so excited to see Robin's big belly, and
47:05
he shows them a recliner. Yep, everybody sits in it because apparently this
47:09
room for Solomon, Solomon's room is actually a dedicated space for everybody, for
47:15
all of the wives and the parents to come in and rock Solomon. Because
47:19
Robin calls Solomon Everybody's baby, so fucking weird, And I'm thinking well,
47:23
what about truly? Yeah, are you going over to Christine's and are you
47:28
hanging out no and rocking? Truly? Is Cody doing that? Is Janelle
47:31
or Mary doing that? Well, that's like Cody was saying that he wanted
47:35
the recliners so he could rock Solomon asleep. And I'm like, okay,
47:37
what about truly though, you have a literal baby right still with Christine that
47:43
you're not even caring about. I feel bad for truly, dude, I
47:46
do too like to be so close an age with Solomon and then we have
47:51
Ari that comes a few years later, and then she's just like straight up
47:54
neglected from Cody. Cody doesn't give a shit, especially once they get to
47:59
Flagstaffed. Oh, he just never gets to see her dad at all.
48:01
So Robin picks out a crib, a recliner, a changing table, a
48:06
dresser, and Mary on the couch says, yeah, Robin got really lucky
48:09
with getting all of her baby furniture, and undertones, undertones, spoils subtext
48:17
like I didn't get that shit. Yeah, none of these wives got that
48:21
shit. But now all of a sudden, you know, we've got this
48:22
show and you can get whatever you want. Well, it's because Robin's never
48:27
had a crib before and she needs furnitures. Baby furniture, make kids at
48:31
cribs. Oh my gosh, what is the last thing? He says?
48:35
I never had a kid. I didn't want That's what Cody says. And
48:38
I'm like, oh, what about Year of Our Lard twenty twenty three,
48:42
Honey, We've got Garrison in the preview saying you can have him Robin because
48:45
I don't need a father figure anymore. Yep. And just last year he
48:49
was calling Garrison and Gabe narcissists. That's right. I didn't call Gabe on
48:52
his birthday. So come on, we see you, Cody. It's a
48:55
rose all right. After the furniture shopping, we get to Cody's night out,
49:01
and so Cody's hanging out with the brose yo. Yeah, with his
49:05
homies. Yeah, he's got some bromances going on. Yeah, it's just
49:07
a night with the guys. Turn to go to the strip. That's right.
49:10
We've got Bill the trainer. I'm like, okay, inserting yourself into
49:14
it because he's hoping to get into business. He's first of all, he's
49:16
hoping be on TV. Yeah, he's hoping to be on fucking TLC and
49:20
maybe get a gig of his own because he's a fucking trainer, Yeah,
49:22
and he wants the fame that comes with that, and plus going into the
49:27
business with the Browns. So Bill's there with his big head. Then some
49:30
Mormon dude is there that Cody knows. Then some other rando is there who
49:36
has a brother named Kevin who owns an MMA gym, And that's the whole
49:38
point, and that's where they're going. We go to the Mma Jim and
49:42
Cody's like, I just can't wait to smell the tests. Marketing back to
49:47
just a few episodes when he goes back to Wyoming and everyone's like, oh,
49:51
we thought he was gay. Yeah, he was flamboyantly gay. I
49:55
think this episode he's like, I just want to smell that testosterone, that
50:00
ball sweat. I want to get up close. So I'm saying, maybe
50:04
Robin pegs him. Oh god, I'm just saying it. And I was
50:09
like, that's the weird thing to say, Cody, or whatever rocks your
50:13
boat. So Cody, dressed in his dumb shirt and his jeans with the
50:16
pockets in the back, gets up in the ring with Kevin and he starts
50:21
sparring. Yeah, because remember Cody was a two time state champion. Listen,
50:27
before we get into the ring, the dude Kevin who owns the gym,
50:30
comes up to Cody and he's like, yeah, I hear you into
50:31
wrestling, And Cody says, yeah, I was the two time state champion
50:35
for my school back in high school twenty five years ago. And I stopped
50:37
it and I looked at you, like, who says that. Like if
50:40
somebody comes up to me and says I hear you like to sing, I
50:44
wouldn't say yeah, I used to sing around the world as a missionary.
50:46
Yeah, I like go to karaokee all the time, and I got this
50:49
award. Yeah, I fucking do Only people who peaked in high school say
50:53
a ship like that. Dude, that's two time state champion, bro,
50:55
yeah and all. Didn't he say that he also had the most takedown in
51:00
school history. Yeah? Yeah. He's like, yeah I heard you,
51:01
Like I heard you're good at takedowns or something. He's like, yeah,
51:05
two times fucking state champion in the history of all wrestling. For a more
51:08
minute, great, I was like, dude, calm friend down. You
51:14
are in your thirties. That was high school. Is he in his thirties
51:17
or forties right now? You're in your forties, You're right, it was
51:21
high school to reference that like so fast. So I was like, Cody
51:25
peaked. Sometimes you meet people like that who just don't see themselves as we
51:30
see them. Yeah, they think they're so cool in hip Cody thinks he's
51:34
a surfer and now he thinks he's an MMA fighter, and he's just like,
51:37
I'm gonna get in this fucking ring in the octagon. I'm gonna fight
51:40
this Kevin. I'm gonna show him what I can do. Meanwhile, Kevin's
51:44
like letting him take all the hits and letting him take him down. And
51:47
I'm just like, it was so in hitiful. I texted my wife during
51:52
this episode because she does MMA and she's really good at it. I'm not
51:57
boasting, but she's good at it. And I was like, you have
52:00
to watch this because it's a really fucking cringeing dude. It is. She
52:05
would cringe. She would God, But I mean that's Cody for you.
52:08
Yeah, And anytime he hangs out with the dudes, you can see he
52:13
goes all out to like be a peacock, be masculine to make these bro
52:17
connections, Like he really holds these kinds of relationships and experiences out, Like
52:22
he prizes hanging out with the dudes and showing off for the dudes. I
52:27
wonder why, maybe because he only ever is interacting with Robin, well,
52:30
women, some of the wise yeah, women and children. But even when
52:34
he went to Wyoming and he hung out with Ken, that fucking asshole Mormon
52:37
guy, his former friend and mission person. Yeah, like he was letting
52:42
Ken get away with so fucking much, and he's waltzing him and insulting his
52:45
lifestyle, and I'm just like, why are you doing? Why are you
52:47
putting up with this dude? But he values these relationships so much, it's
52:52
weird. He wants to fit in a lot. Yeah, so he thinks
52:55
sparring and grappling in his fucking designer jeans. I feel so weird, so
53:01
bad. Meanwhile, back at Robin's house, the furniture comes in and all
53:07
of the wives are there to assemble everything. Assemble the crib, assemble the
53:12
changing table, hangout things. I'm like, shouldn't your husband be helping you
53:16
with Yes, But it's always the women who are putting together the furniture,
53:20
moving furniture, lift a finger. He doesn't want to do it. He
53:24
can, he's grappling in the octagon right now, but he can't be there
53:29
to assemble his fucking crib no, because it's a surprise for him at the
53:32
end. Lord Jesus Well. One of the people that is out with Cody
53:37
again is Bill, And after the MMA experience, they go out to Hoffbrows
53:45
for beers or I don't know, for food and stuff like that. Yeah,
53:50
various conversations about how scantily clad the women in Vegas are and I'm snoring,
53:53
I don't care. Yeah, But once they get to the restaurant,
53:57
I think Bill asks Cody, does Christine RaSE you as much as she rases
54:02
me in the gym because she's given me like a lot of attitude. Yeah,
54:07
And Cody says that this doesn't surprise him. He doesn't say it to
54:10
Bill, but he says it to camera. He says, Christine is a
54:14
shameless flirt. Yeah, so it doesn't surprise him that she's flirting with Bill.
54:19
Yeah, And he said, I have no doubt that she thinks Bill's
54:21
cute, but it's shameless, it's whatever. He kind of brushes it off.
54:25
But yeah, I feel like that actually does bother him. I think
54:28
it bothers him too. I think he's a little jealous. I think he's
54:30
a little intimidated by Bill totally, because Bill is a big, beefy,
54:34
muscular person and Cody is not. Cody's balding and has a little bit of
54:37
a pot billy a little bit. And then the conversation kind of flows into
54:44
polygamy and they start asking him the typical questions, the most interesting of which
54:49
is do you ever just kind of want to hang out with one wife more
54:52
than the other? And I'm like waiting for him to answer, tell the
54:55
truth, Cody, he kind of avoids it a little bit. He kind
54:59
of just brushes it fid steps and he just says, well, you know,
55:01
it kind of depends. Sometimes I'll double up nights or change things up
55:06
if I need to. But it's you know, I never want to leave
55:08
a home because and this is what he says to Camray's like, I never
55:12
want to leave a home because they all feel like home to me. So
55:15
it's not like I favor one over the other. I don't believe you.
55:17
I don't believe you at all. I don't believe you at all. And
55:20
the doubling up nights thing. When he said that to the friends, they
55:22
were like, what do you mean, Like you mean you sleep with two
55:24
women in the same night. He's like, no, no, no,
55:27
no, no, no, like I double up the days. So he's
55:30
spending two nights with one wife and then two nights with another wife. So
55:32
what this really means He's spending two to three nights with Robin, one night
55:36
with the other wives. Exact two to three nights with Robin. Because she's
55:38
with child. Of course, I'm worried about her. Yeah, I gotta
55:42
be their friend. Solomon is coming. I got a support her because she's
55:45
never had a support of husband, She's never had a crisp baby verniture.
55:51
I gotta be there. So two, three, four, five, six,
55:54
seven, eight, nine nights and Christy, you get no nights,
55:57
bitch, none, go cry no, get the family shared nights so that
56:01
way I conveniently don't have to sleep with you. Yeah, or when we
56:04
all have to go to a restaurant for kids eat free night, then that'll
56:07
be your night. Exactly. Yes, we know it's odd. This episode
56:12
ends at Robin's house and she's so excited to show Cody all the work that
56:16
the women had to do again because he conveniently wasn't there. Of course,
56:21
Cody checks out the room. There's a weird jungle theme. A jungle theme.
56:24
I told you my mom had a jungle theme grown up, like our
56:28
whole house. I'm not even kidding. I'm picturing rainforest cafe. It was
56:34
almost like that. We didn't have like hanging plants, but we had like
56:37
African animal figurines everywhere and African animal like pictures and stuff. And then we
56:44
had this big, old circular like almost like beanbag chair type thing that was
56:49
cheetahprinte and I was like, big in the center. I'll have to find
56:51
some photos, like did she love thee king or something? What was the
56:53
reference? No, I don't know if she blamed it on my dad.
56:57
She blamed it on my dad's style, and I'm like, that's how my
56:59
dad styled all. But like, my mom had a weird phase and it
57:01
was our entire house was just like animal like elephants and giraffes everywhere, and
57:07
lions and print and deeper pillows. It was fucking weird. Turbot Caucasians in
57:13
Portland, Oregon, but we're in the jungle here, baby. Oh yeah.
57:16
But it was cute. I mean, they did a nice job and
57:20
they just kind of sit together, Cody and Robin talking about Solomon coming,
57:24
and Robin's excited, and Robin's thinking, I don't know if this is the
57:29
last baby for me. Maybe I'll have others. We'll just have to wait
57:31
and see. But they seem really happy they do. Yeah, Cody sheds
57:36
a tear Jessie, he does, talking about um, how he's never had
57:39
a kid that he doesn't want. At the end, that's right, he
57:42
had tear balls rubbing on her belly. And you really want Solomon and that's
57:45
sweet. Yeah, And we love Solomon and we love Ari. And it's
57:49
not the kid's fault that Cody and Robin suck so much shit, right,
57:52
that's sucks so deeply and badly. That's so true. I'm sorry, I
57:55
don't. I hate it to say it like that, but they suck so
57:58
deeply and badly. They suck so bad that I didn't even see the cute
58:01
sentiment moment in this. No, No, I didn't, because I'm just
58:05
like, I just don't like. Yeah, I think we've been jaded by
58:07
the later seasons, and again for me, like I picked up I don't
58:10
know a season sixteen or so is when I started? I said, no,
58:13
maybe fifteen fourteen, Yeah, when I started watching, And so it
58:16
was all bad by then. There's a lot of marriage counseling going on with
58:20
Christine trips to Galveston and Mary getting divorced and everybody's fucking unhappy, and so
58:24
going back to these early seasons, I'm like, oh, I don't believe
58:30
any of this is this is not real. It's all fake. And then
58:32
when you have Christine saying in these episodes that she's been on antide president and
58:37
anxiety medication because she's struggling so bad, and she's blaming it off on the
58:42
baby blues on postpartument, I'm like, but truly, he's like a year
58:45
old now. And also Mary is having anger management issues and she's acting out,
58:49
and no, there's a problem in this family. There's an issue.
58:52
Yes, and it's name is Robin. Yeah, problems, My name is
58:54
Robin. So these were a couple of great episodes. I certainly enjoyed them.
59:00
Yeah, next week we get to finish out season three. We have
59:02
the arrival of Saint Solomon and all of that. It's gonna be It sounds
59:08
like a Robin intensive episode. So I'm just gonna be medicated, drinking or
59:13
so much crying. Oh god, so many eyebrows. I don't want to
59:15
end Cody just fawning over her children. I love children, love hurt,
59:21
I love her, I love her only her. I love only her.
59:23
And once Solomon is born, you know, he's just gonna be spending all
59:25
of his time there too. He's going to use that as an excuse.
59:29
Oh well, she's got a new baby. Yeah, truly her. Yeah,
59:31
oh Aspen can take care of truly, it's no problem. I'll just
59:34
leave him with the older kids. Yeah, yikes. But you know we're
