117: Sister Wives - Christine and David, Part 1 (S18E19) · Reality TV Cringe

0:09
Hello, and welcome to Reality TV Cringe. I am one of your house
0:15
Delia here with my real tight homegirl and also my daughter in law Beatrice.
0:21
Everybody, did you see how I said host? Did you hear that it
0:25
was disgusting? Was it disgusting? Somebody complained that the way I said a
0:30
host was just too much for them and they quit the video, but they
0:34
commented first, and I'm like, awesome, thank you for that. I
0:38
love it. People are crazy chronically online also known as records. Yes,
0:45
just a send and that's right. We are here to talk sister wives with
0:50

0:56
part of the Christine and David Woolley wedding special. Yeah. All the feels
1:02
me too, all the sparkling in my heart that's going on right now?
1:06
Yeah, what did you think overall? Well, before you answer that,

2:09
all the things we want to talk about, like some of your just overall
2:14
thoughts, send your vibe about the wedding special. Well, I'm glad first
2:17
and foremost it was on streaming and available the night it aired. Very happy
2:22
about that. I wish the other look backs and talkbacks were on streaming,
2:27
but I digress. I also thought Christine was beautiful. Yes, I thought
2:31
her wedding was very sweet. Or like her wedding decorations and stuff and preparation
2:36
was very cute. All of her daughters are super supportive, which I love,
2:39
so I thought it was like pretty wholesome. I thought so too.
2:44
I definitely wonder who's paying for this lavish wedding to have three hundred people attending,
2:50
you have a beautiful venue. We have a lot of wonderful aspects to
2:57
these nuptials, So like, is Dave Wooly a Richmond or is this TLC?
3:01
I mean, I think David Wooly makes some money, but I feel
3:05
like this is probably paid for by TLC slash people. Yeah, so well,
3:09
I did have a takeaway Yeah, And my thought was because I watched
3:14
this twice, My thought, my primary feeling was this is what it would
3:17
look like if we gave mickelty and Tony more airtime. Yeah, and I
3:24
for one would not be down with that shit. I mean, as soon
3:29
as they walked into the Airbnb and she herself and then McKelty proceeded to like
3:35
compete with everybody for who loves me more? And don't you think I'm funny?
3:38
Mom? And I had more wedding guests than you did, Mom,
3:42
I'm like, oh my god, I know, calm Dawn. I will
3:46
say though Tony McKelty looked great, like they've lost so much weight. They
3:51
look snatched. Yes, so I'm happy for them that way, but also
3:54
get off my TV. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I feel like
3:58
they really wanted Yeah, I don't want it. They're so uh performance.
4:02
Yeah, you know you know what I heard. I heard that McKelty actually
4:05
is pausing her Patreon content. I think that she's got some things going on
4:12
in her life right now. So I don't know, Tony don't work.
4:15
And I also heard that she's pulling away from Lulaau Whoa. Of course,
4:19
Christine used to do Lularau along with Mary, and then Christine left Lulara and
4:26
she sent all of her clients to her daughter, Michelti. But now Michelty
4:30
is kind of stepping away from Lulaau and also from Patreon, and I'm thinking,
4:34
well, how are you making your money? But then they also do
4:38
Plexus. They also shill Plexus interesting, but maybe it's also because she's going
4:44
to be on season nineteen. Maybe maybe she's still this is not the direction
4:48
we want to go and TLC no thing, but like it really makes you
4:55
think, like, what is what is the new normal going to be for
4:58
sister wife. I don't know. I was happy that, like Cody and
5:01
Robin weren't in this episode very much at all, Like we had them for
5:05
like one scene and that was great. But what else are we gonna do?
5:09
Because I personally don't want to see Christine on DV constantly either talking about
5:15
kids. She loves David and her kids, and I'm just like, this
5:18
is great. I'm happy before you. I'm glad for the special. But
5:20
if season nineteen is just all about that, I'm like, I don't know
5:24
if I want to say. And that's why I hate to say it,
5:27
but I feel like we need Cody and Robin. We need the drama for
5:30
this to continue to thrive. Otherwise it's just happy and great and raccoons can't
5:35
eat that. We can't eat that's not garbage. We need to go trash.
5:41
Absolutely. So those are some of my feelings and takeaways. But before
5:45
we get into the actual episode to just talk about it all, I do
5:47
understand that somebody reached out to us via speak pipe and by the way,
5:53
if you want to comment with your mouth and your words and your sounds,
5:56
Yeah, all you have to do is go to speakpipe dot com, slash
5:59
rec TV, cringe. You have up to ninety seconds, honey, to
6:01
tell us whatever you're thinking about, and we love to hear it. Yeah,
6:04
so who reached out? We have a message from Rachel and she's got
6:09
a sister wife's take. Okay, hey girls, Happy New Year. It's
6:13
Rachel again. I'm calling with a new theory about why we're investing in so
6:17
much nick knack clutter essentially, but that is high dollar in quote unquote and
6:23
investment. So I recently learned that the reason, one of the reasons that
6:28
drug dealers wear so much jewelry and like expensive jewelry on their person is that
6:32
if they're arrested, the police will confiscate it, but it's upon your release
6:36
you have to be given back whatever you had, So it's almost like an
6:40
insurance policy. I'm wondering if the laws of Arizona would preclude any little like
6:46
dickenzie in villages and like David Yearman jewelry, if those would be precluded from
6:50
a lawsuit. So I know, like I live in the state of Florida.
6:54
They can't take your house in Florida, Like no matter how much your
6:56
house is worth, your primary residence cannot be taken from you in a lawsuit
7:00
because they have so much experience with bankruptcy, et cetera. I would not
7:04
be the least bit surprised if this is a way of like storing up for
7:09
the future and kind of like keeping these assets hidden, Like who's going to
7:14
go after trinkets in a lawsuit? You know, it might not even be
7:16
legally eligible, but even if it were, they could say, really,
7:19
you're coming after our Christmas village, You're coming after our wedding rings. Like
7:25
it would at a minimum be an optical nightmare. So anyway, this is
7:30
my newest wild speculation theory. I thought about it for a while. I
7:32
do think Cody is very plotting, and they had to have known that eventually
7:38
these women were going to like get wise and get out of here. So
7:41
anyway, what do you guys think? Very interesting? Very interesting. She
7:46
mentions a lawsuit, and I'm not sure what she's referring to with that,
7:50
because I think what she's talking about, generally, correct me if I'm wrong,
7:55
is bankruptcy. Yeah, which is not the same as a lawsuit,
7:58
right, It's a filing that you you file, and then the trustee either
8:01
signs off or doesn't. And if the trustee does sign off on your bankruptcy,
8:05
depending on what kind you're filing, then you might have to liquidate your
8:09
assets. You might have to turn over some of your things, and that
8:11
would depend I think state to state. Yeah, or maybe like a lawsuit
8:16
with the wives, Like if they were trying to come after for assets and
8:18
stuff and they had to liquidate their shit, then coding Robin could be like,
8:22
no, not our Decanzian village, none, our little trinkets and our
8:26
bad jewelry. I don't know how it would how it would turn out in
8:31
an actual civil law suit between the wives and Cody and Robin. But I
8:33
did look up bankruptcy exemptions to see what they can actually keep if they end
8:39
up declaring bankruptcy, because I'm really curious, and because I really do think
8:43
that this is a potential, this is something that might happen, especially if
8:48
they remove Cody and Robin from the franchise, which everybody, everybody is calling
8:52
for a TLC to do. Although I want to acknowledge that I don't think
8:56
this franchise goes on without them. No, But if they lose all their
9:01
money and have to declare bankruptcy, especially if they're over leveraged, like they
9:05
have so much debt and they can't pay it off and they declare. These
9:07
are what These are some of the exemptions in Arizona. First and foremost,
9:13
the homestead for their primary residence. A person's primary residence is exempt provided that
9:20
it does not have more than four hundred thousand dollars in equity. Okay,
9:26
so I think right now, what are we got in equity? Depending on
9:28
whether they drew from equity to pay back Janelle et cetera, I think they've
9:33
got several hundred thousand dollars in equity. So if they declared bankruptcy, I
9:37
think they would be compelled to sell their house to liquidate and to I guess
9:43
pay that off. Maybe that's why they're doing renovations on it. Maybe Mike
9:48
also vehicles each debtor, So both Cody and Robin may retain one vehicle provided
9:54
that it does not have more than fifteen thousand dollars of equity. So his
10:00
Lexus, which I know he's trying to sell. They've got that truck,
10:03
They've got RB, they own the Arvy. Yeah, isn't there a minivan
10:09
or is that something from a while ago, beings they've gotten. But I
10:13
mean maybe maybe some of the kids own the cars and so they wouldn't be
10:18
able to be taken away, but they would be able to keep two of
10:20
their vehicles. Any retirement or pension that Cody or Robin has can't be stripped
10:26
away by bankruptcy. Although I cannot imagine a world where Cody has an Ira
10:31
or a four oh one k he was depending on the wives frat, I
10:35
know, I don't think so. Also, so here's where we're I think
10:39
we have Rachel wondering. So household goods and furnishings, so paintings, Deckenzie
10:45
and villages, supplements and the like. So most furnishings and household goods are
10:50
exempt. Are exempt up to fifteen thousand dollars in the aggregate or thirty thousand
10:56
dollars for married debtors. This includes household electronics, furniture, appliances, and
11:03
most items a person uses for household purposes. Oh okay, so I mean
11:07
maybe the Deckenzie, village and the artwork is not going to be able to
11:11
be seized, but that's maybe that's what she was meaning I think it can
11:13
be seized for sure. Can Yeah, I don't think they would be considered
11:18
furnishings, oh m G. And I also think that they have at least
11:22
thirty thousand in their appliances, in their furniture, in their dining table,
11:28
plus their paintings, whatever's in the basement, honey, and all those boxes
11:31
e firearms. Oh and by the way, that's listed as well. We'll
11:35
get to it. Tools of the trade. So tools that a debtor uses
11:39
to earn a living are exempt, provided that their aggregate value does not exceed
11:43
five thousand dollars. The exemption would be ten thousand if they were married.
11:46
So if he was like a landscaper, for example, and he had his
11:50
lawnmowers and all of his whatever landscapers used tools, those would be exempted up
11:54
to five or ten thousand dollars. Money in a bank account in a single
12:01
bank account is exempt. If you're married, each spouse can have five thousand
12:05
dollars in an account, totaling ten thousand dollars. Okay, damn. Any
12:09
other accounts I imagine would have to be drained turned over to the trustee.
12:15
Jewelry, so of course we've got the stallion jewelry. We've got that shield
12:18
that Cody's been wearing in the last few episodes. That's worth I think a
12:22
few thousand dollars. So in Arizona, wedding rings are exempt if it is
12:28
worth less than two thousand dollars four thousand if married. No other jewelry is
12:33
exempt in Arizona. If you own expensive jewelry, it will be forfeited to
12:37
the trustee. Oh my god, so all of us watches too? Does
12:41
he make his rolock alexes everything? Wow? Last, but not least firearms.
12:48
And if you don't know Cody, I don't know that he's a dealer
12:52
in firearms. I don't think he's got his license to actually sell firearms.
12:58
But he was doing some sort of a workaround with kits, I think.
13:01
But in any so, I would imagine though, that he probably has firearms
13:05
himself. Yeah. All firearms of not more than an aggregate fair market value
13:11
of two thousand dollars are exempt. Wow. So all firearms if not more
13:16
than an aggregate fair market value of two thousand are exempt. What does that
13:20
mean? That's kind of worded in a weird way. I think he can
13:24
keep his firearms. But as soon as it's over four thousand dollars. They
13:26
would have to be dated to be seized. Oh shit, Well, if
13:31
he's buying expensive ass firearms then or has been collecting them all these years,
13:35
which I could totally see him being a guy who does that. Oh yes,
13:39
firearms can be very very very very expensive and somewhat of an investment.
13:43
So there you have it. What was her name, Rachel? Yeah,
13:46
So these are some of the things you can think about. I think the
13:48
Dickensian Village would be up for grabs. I think all of those paintings would
13:52
be up for grabs. Sure, I think everything would be up for grabs
13:56
for the most part. Oh my god, to pay off Coyote Past if
14:00
they had, they wouldn't even be able to keep Coty passed they would have,
14:01
they would be compelled to sell it yep, which I think would put
14:05
Janelle and Mary in a funky situation because it would be Cody declaring bankruptcy while
14:11
they are not. Oh my god, what would happen if Cody and Robin
14:16
declared but Janelle did not, Like, would she be able to keep the
14:20
land that she has in common with him? Because I think you'd got to
14:22
sell it. Oh my god, that'd be terrible. I hope she's figuring
14:26
out her assets and entangling everything in this off season. I really Janelle,
14:31
Like, I feel like Mary's probably not as entangled as Janelle is. I
14:33
feel like Janelle's got her name on fucking everything, so she's got to figure
14:37
that out. Yep, yep. So good question. Thank you. You
14:41
got the raccoons thinking. All right, now, let's get into Sister Wives
14:46
Season eighteen, Episode nineteen, Christine and David, Part one. We begin
14:52
this episode with Christine arriving at the Airbnb. I guess Christine's kids and Janelle's
14:58
ca are coming into town and they're all going to be staying at this ARABNB.
15:03
So what did you think? I mean, yes, snooze. I'm
15:07
like, that's GREATNA looks great. Yeah, it's kind of boring. Like
15:11
Christine's like super giddy and happy, like there's not much to report here,
15:16
right, there's not much here, No, there isn't. We do have
15:20
Christine and David sitting down on the couch and talking about their origin story and
15:24
how they met, and apparently he likes to tell his dates that he's got
15:31
eight kids and then watch their reaction very closely, and I guess when he
15:35
did that, Christine paused because that's even more kids than she has. Yeah,
15:39
even though she's like, I didn't pause. But then she gets right
15:43
into all of her bullshit, like oh, I used to be a sister
15:46
wife, and I was the third wife, and we have eighteen children and
15:48
now there's a fourth wife and all these things. And he's like, yeah,
15:50
I know, I know who you are. I'm not living under a
15:54
rock out here. We're in Utah. We know who the Brown family.
15:58
Yeah, yeah, I thought that was interesting. And this is where it
16:00
was confirmed by David that two of his sisters are living polygamy. They're living
16:07
somewhere in Mexico, which I found to be interesting. I was surprised by
16:11
that. So that's pretty interesting. So I'm glad that he's like against polygamy
16:15
because she because that was Christine's next question, like you don't want to live
16:18
that though, right, and he's like fuck no, So that's good.
16:21
Yeah, that's that's that's cute. Christine did have a date scheduled for later
16:26
that evening because she was just out there partying, living her best fifty one
16:32
year old life. But after her date with David where she looked into his
16:37
arresting eyes. She called off that date. She called her matchmaker and she's
16:41
like, I'm done. I found my person, yeah, which is interesting,
16:45
and then the rest is history. Although I was very surprised to hear
16:48
how quickly they actually yeah, moved, yeah to get like he moved.
16:53
She moved in with him after like only three months or something. Is that
16:57
so? Yeah, that's what people are saying on Reddit. That's like the
17:00
timeline. But they've only known each other a total of eleven months. Right,
17:03
they're getting married. But I'm like, who are we to judge?
17:07
I am nobody to judge nobody. I've married our partners very quickly. I
17:11
married your daughter within like nine months, so right, and I think I
17:14
married my husband within eight Yeah, yeah, so but I yeah, I
17:18
thought it was interesting when truly later in the episode, was talking to I
17:21
think Aspin and Isabelle about whether to call him. Oh. They were asking
17:26
if she was excited. Yeah, She's like, well, I mean they've
17:30
been living together this whole time. I've been living with both of them.
17:32
I refer to them now as husband and wife. Yeah. I'm like,
17:36
oh, interesting, I didn't know when they moved in together. Yeah,
17:38
so they've been together for a while, cohabitate in I was surprised by that.
17:44
I don't know how I feel about her, Christine moving in with David
17:48
so soon with truly as a thirteen year old. But I mean whatever,
17:52
David seems like he's nice. Yeah, And I mean I can't hate.
17:56
I can't front because I moved mine now husband into my home. I mean
18:00
he had his own home, but like he was over at my home quite
18:03
a bit when my daughter was probably thirteen to fourteen years old. Yeah,
18:07
but I mean I knew we were going to be together. But nonetheless,
18:10
I mean, you do what you do when you fall in love, I
18:11
guess. So after this, we have McKelty and Tony barreling into the Airbnb
18:18
with their babies. Nobody the way are just incredibly cute. I mean,
18:22
yeah, McKelty makes gorgeous babies total. I mean they are cute and chunky
18:26
and everything. They're the only thing I want to see out of Tony mc
18:30
kelty. Yes, one of them has flaming red hair. No, the
18:33
other one's like a blonde, little chubby baby's so very cute. She comes
18:37
in everybody's happy to see her. And then we cut to Cody and Robin
18:45
in flag Staff chopping down a tree, chopping down some tree for what reason.
18:48
I'm trying to think to myself, what reason to look like a big
18:52
dig man? Cody have to chop down a tree to look like a big
18:56
dig man? Firewoom see building a log cap very odd? And then they
19:03
sit them both down, and I guess the producers ask Cody like, well,
19:07
Christine's getting married, what are your thoughts, And he's like, well,
19:11
I'm happy for her, and then kind of goes off on like he
19:15
tries to go off on a tangent of like, well she's accusing me of
19:18
blah blah blah blah, and Robin immediately stops him and he's like, no,
19:21
no, no, we're happy for them, right, We're happy for
19:23
them, right, which is interesting, Like she's like, no, we're
19:26
on a script here, we have to pretend like we're happy for them.
19:30
I don't know, I read that situation a little differently, like Robin is
19:34
getting sick of his fucking mouth and him always popping off. He's like,
19:37
can't we just be happy for these people? Yeah? Like I don't want
19:41
to be out here like looking like we're bitter and passive aggressive. I just
19:45
want to wish them well and leave it at that. Shut your fucking mouth,
19:48
Cody. That's how I took that personally. I was thinking that it
19:52
was like, She's like, dude, we need to stop because we need
19:56
to focus on our image here. We need to do damage control and pretend
19:59
like we can interesting. Ultimately, he tells some sort of story about how
20:03
Christine has told the kids that Cody found his soulmates, so now I want
20:08
to set out and find mine, and Cody says something like, you know,
20:12
I really I hope that she does. I hope that they're happy.
20:15
I don't buy it at all, But I mean, that doesn't sound like
20:18
an accusation, which is how you started that sentence. So what is it
20:21
that you were actually about to say? That's what I want to know.
20:22
I think Robin knew he was about to show his ass. Oh one hundred
20:26
percent. He was going to go on again about how she's talking shit about
20:29
me to the kids. He was going to say something like that. Right
20:33
next, we have hair and makeup at the Airbnb. This is where we
20:37
have the older girls with truly and having the conversation. I only mention this
20:42
because I think on the couch. Christine mentions that she also talked to Truly,
20:49
like, what do you think about living with a man full time?
20:55
Yeah, She's like, it's never happened before. We've never had to live
20:57
like this with the father. Ever. She's like, I'm nervous about it,
21:02
and Christine's like, well, I am too, and Truly he's like,
21:04
well now I'm even more nervous. Truly is adorable. But that's gotta
21:10
be weird because Truly, well, you know, penintended, but really and
21:14
actually, for the last I don't know, seven ten years, Christine has
21:18
been an almost single mother. Yep. The only time Cody comes over is
21:22
to like check off the box on the schedule, stay till seven pm,
21:26
and then bounce on out of there. I know. So to have a
21:29
man around full time would have to be like a real adjustment, oh for
21:32
sure, for all of them, For Christine and Truly and everybody else.
21:36
I don't know, must be weird, but it might. I mean,
21:37
maybe David's hella chill, Yeah, he's like whatever, chill. He seems
21:41
like a nice dude. I think the people around them keep saying stuff,
21:45
like, you know, Christine's a really big personality, and so is David.
21:49
Yeah, and they're both leaders. And I was actually kind of wondering,
21:53
like when we get to the rehearsal out at the Redcliffe's Lodge or whatever
21:59
it is, and Christine starts taking charge and giving everybody instructions, I'm just
22:06
like, she's pretty loud, yeah, and she kind of drowns him out.
22:11
If he's somebody who is accustomed to being a leader and taking charge,
22:14
I'm like, I know, and he doesn't seem like he has that big
22:18
of a personality to me. He's a Capricorn too, so I'm just like,
22:21
I don't know, I haven't seen that yet. But maybe we're going
22:23
to see more of him in season nineteen, so we'll get to actually see
22:26
more of his actual character. Right. Then we cut over to Mary.
22:32
She's in Paiwan. She's putting up her ghosts. What did you think of
22:36
that? Well, the producers are asking her like, do you know that
22:38
Christine's getting married? And she's like, yeah, I do. I don't
22:41
know when I'm happy for her, but I'm also devastated that this is what's
22:45
happened to our family, and that's essentially it. I kind of felt bad
22:48
that she wasn't invited me too, But I mean I get it because Christine
22:53
said she didn't want to invite her if there's still weird energy the divorce and
22:57
everything, So I get it. And I think this is where Mary says,
23:00
you know, Christine deserves to be happy, and I hope that that
23:03
happens for me too. Yeah, And I'm like, yes, Queen,
23:06
Yes, I hope so too. Yes. Yeah, I just felt that
23:10
was kind of a lonely scene, her out on her deck or patio or
23:14
porch or whatever, hanging up her ghosties. And I'm like, well,
23:17
are you living? Do you have friends? I know you have Jen,
23:18
I know you do Friday nights with Jen, but do you know people in
23:22
this area? You seem like somewhat of the cosmopolitan person who likes to travel
23:26
and have experiences and adventures, and you're just stuck in Carawan? Are you
23:30
okay? Wearing? You know? I'm like, I wonder if Leon visits
23:33
her ever, because Leon's at Christine's wedding. I don't know if you saw.
23:37
I didn't see Leon. I no, I didn't see them. Okay,
23:40
Yeah, So I mean that's cool that they're visiting and being there for
23:44
Christine. But I'm like, do you visit your mom though I don't really
23:47
ever see you there. Yeah, and your mom's lonely, so I hope.
23:51
So we get then to the rehearsal and Janelle and her kids are there,
23:56
and it's really nice seeing Gabe and seeing Maddie and Caleb, Caleb groom
24:02
Maddie though to Caleb groomer. Every time I see Caleb, I'm like,
24:04
you look nice, but I mean, are you a groomer? I don't
24:07
know. Caleb's there, Maddie's there, their kids, We see Peyden and
24:11
all the kids around, and it just seems like a lovely moment. And
24:15
I'm telling you that venue is studying. It is beautiful Moab, Utah.
24:19
I'm like, I want to go visit. I feel like I've been to
24:22
Moab, but I don't know, maybe I saw it in a movie.
24:26
So they're going through the rehearsal at the next part and they're walking up to
24:30
the platform. David does a combat tumble. He seems like he's a jokester.
24:36
But this is where we kind of get some information about Christine's dad,
24:41
who apparently has been sick for the last fifteen years. I'm not sure with
24:45
what. Probably cancer, Yeah, really probably why that's a long time to
24:49
have cancer. It's probably like prostate cancer or something. Oh my god,
24:52
God. So Peydon's gonna have to walk her most of the way, and
24:56
then they're going to fetch her father to walk her to this steps, and
25:00
then she's going to walk up to the platform to be with David. There's
25:03
not going to be anybody else there. They're not going to have bridesmaids,
25:07
they're not going to have groomsmen. It's just going to be them too,
25:10
and the Efficient and Jesus on the platform, of course, which I think
25:14
is actually very sweet. I like how Christine was like, I've shared a
25:17
marriage for a million years, so I ain't sharing the stage with nobody.
25:21
Yeah, true, aris fashion. Absolutely. Then we have the scene with
25:25
her mother Annie. I think she's talking with a spin and Isabelle. I
25:30
don't know, man, this part got me misty. Yeah, because she
25:36
was not able to attend Christine's first marriage. Then we coult over to Christine
25:40
explaining that you had to be a member of the church in order to attend.
25:44
Yeah, which I didn't really know. The timeline of when her mother
25:47
left, although I guess it was when Christine was like nineteen, so that's
25:51
track. And I always remember the feeling around Annie in the series, like
25:56
she was always kind of mousey and in the background, somewhat overpowered by Christine's
26:03
big personality. I don't know, and the way she cried and just said,
26:07
my daughter's so incredible. She's been incredible to me. She deserves to
26:11
be happy. She's one of the best people in the world. I am
26:12
so freaking happy for her. Just made me miss my mom. I don't
26:18
know, made me miss my mom because my mom used to say stuff like
26:21
that about me. She's like, I'm so fucking proud of you. You
26:22
are so wonderful. Look at what you've done with your life. And I
26:26
don't know, I hope Christine really realizes what a beautiful mom she has.
26:33
Oh, totally. And it's funny because when I was watching this scene,
26:37
I was thinking back to some of the earlier seasons because I've just been watching
26:40
some of the older seasons in my off time just because I'm obsessed. And
26:44
I was actually at the part in like season eight or season nine or something
26:47
when Annie moves in with Christine in Las Vegas, and she talks about how
26:51
she wasn't able to be at Christine's wedding and how she missed out on a
26:55
lot of years with Christine because apparently Christine wasn't even allowed to talk to her
26:59
mom for like several years after she left the church because she left the church.
27:03
Yeah, because they were in a cult. I don't know. I
27:06
guess my feeling about it at the time, although I didn't watch all those
27:07
in between seasons, but my feeling about it was like also that Christine judged
27:11
her mom, yes, because she was a part of that church. But
27:15
then when things they became public and everything, then she started working on a
27:19
relationship with her mom a little bit. She's like, Okay, this is
27:22
stupid, let me talk to my mom, right. But yeah, back
27:25
when she was younger, she didn't have any contact with her mom, which
27:27
is so shitty. Yeah, poor Annie. Yeah, after this, we
27:33
cut on over to Cody, who gives his recollection of his wedding day to
27:37
Christine. He's like, I had a thousand yards stare you know, we
27:42
were not very happy. He did mention that Janelle and Mary weren't really in
27:48
a great place at the time, so things just weren't going great and it
27:52
wasn't a great day, and so Christine really deserves to have a great day
27:56
with a guy who's totally into her. I don't know, it seemed to
28:00
me when he said that, it felt rehearsed a little bit for me,
28:03
because I'm just like, I can't imagine that you actually feel that way after
28:07
we've seen your behavior the last three years on the show. Like it's just
28:11
he's been so angry and bitter this whole entire time. So I'm just like,
28:15
did you really work through that or are you just saying that for the
28:18
cameras because you're concerned about your image now? And when you think about the
28:21
look backs which were filmed somebody told us in our comments, thank you Investigatory
28:26
Raccoons was filmed I think in November or December of twenty twenty three, so
28:30
just a couple of months ago. He's still bitter. Yeah, he's still
28:33
really fucking triggered, activated and upset about Christine. So presuming I'm presuming that
28:37
he filmed this type of the statement around the time of her weddings, I'm
28:41
like, what's going on? So you're just faking it. That's preformant.
28:45
Yeah. Next we have the boat ride down the Colorado River. Honey,
28:48
when we get to see Christine chugging a beer. She's drinking now, she
28:52
got tattoos. Yeah, she's flicking, she's a rib she's partying. Honey.
28:56
Oh. We get to see everybody there. We see Hunter, we
29:00
see Caleb, we see Maddie, we see all the kids, we see
29:03
David's family, and it just seems like a really fun, happy time.
29:08
Oh, super super sweet, and Christine's just having a ball. Everybody's having
29:11
a great time. And then at some point Janelle gets up to have a
29:15
speech, which I'm just like, that warmed my heart because Janelle's like getting
29:21
weepy and she's just like, I love you guys, You're great, Like,
29:23
I'm so happy for you, and I'm so grateful that I'm part of
29:26
the deal. I know. I'm like, oh my god, that reminded
29:30
me of my daughter. I I was feeling so emotional and sentimental. It's
29:34
like, just how she's part of my deal, He's part of my package.
29:37
Deal, and how Janelle's like, oh my gosh, I have somewhere
29:41
in the family. I'm part of somebody's package. Deal. Thank you for
29:45
letting me be that. Oh so fucking sweet, really nice, very emotional.
29:49
Yeah. After the boat ride, we get to the shore and this
29:56
is where we meet Christine's dad wreck. Yeah, oh my god. He
30:00
gets to her hug. He's like that guy ain't shit, Not David,
30:03
but Cody. He's bawling right now, back in fucking flagstaff. He's like,
30:07
how could she have left me? I've lost the busin thing that I
30:11
ever had in my life preach day that just goes right in and I'm here
30:15
for it. Yes, And I think he whispered something to her and he
30:18
was like, you know, I was so unhappy that you were married to
30:22
Cody, and I'm so glad that you're out of that and you're happy and
30:25
I get to see that. I think that's very special. Like, no
30:27
wonder she wanted to have such a big wedding and a big old shin dig
30:32
because she never got to have a wedding. She was fucking wearing like a
30:36
tarp basically, with a lackluster wedding is what Cody called it. Yea,
30:40
And I just felt bad for her, So I'm glad that she gets to
30:41
have this big old like parade as much as it is, like she is
30:45
a lot in her energy, but she's allowed to be because she's happy.
30:48
Can you imagine being her father for like twenty six years watching his daughter be
30:55
like not second but third in the family, like being sad the entire time,
31:00
being married to such a piece of shit as Cody Brown, Right,
31:03
And he's probably a big man back in his day. Is probably a big
31:06
man because I think Peydon probably takes after him. He seems like a good,
31:08
tall, motherfucking guy. Yep, cowboy kind of a guy. And
31:11
like he's probably so thrilled for Christine. And he even tells her something like,
31:17
you know, it passes, time passes so quickly. You know,
31:19
for the rest of your life, you're gonna be happy. He's gonna be
31:22
taking care of you. Make sure you enjoy it. Yeah, and she
31:25
says something like, I know, Dad, I'm fifty one. So it's
31:29
kind of sweet because it doesn't matter how old she is, that's still her
31:33
Papa's still her dad, and for him, that's still his baby. Yeah,
31:37
And how special it is that she gets to have this memorialized. Like
31:41
I was also thinking about that when I was watching the earlier seasons, Like
31:42
with Baby Truly, I'm like, how cool is it that she gets to
31:47
have all of these memories with Baby Truly on film forever, from the moment
31:52
of her birth on and then she gets to have her wedding and everything in
31:55
all these special moments with her parents. Like, that's really cool. It
31:59
is. It's special. Then we have the day of the wedding. Christina
32:05
arrives at the airbnb. That's like truly like bust into the door and she's
32:07
like, what's up everybody here? I Am just like she's pretty, she's
32:12
pretty cool. I like her. And so they're getting ready and we have
32:19
a scene with Aspen doing Isabelle's hair talking about whether they're supposed to call David
32:24
their stepfather yeah, And Aspen's like, I ain't calling him that, which
32:28
I mean, that's fair. They're adults now, right, and he's not
32:31
really like a father figure at that point in time. Probably not, And
32:36
I don't think he'd be the type of person to demand that from them.
32:39
So they ultimately say, well, I mean he's just family, yeah,
32:42
and I'm sure he would be like, just call me David, it's not
32:45
a big deal. We also see David meeting with the guys in his suite,
32:52
trying to get his shirt. He doesn't remember whether he's supposed to wear
32:54
rust or whether he wears plumb, and Tony's like, these are dumb.
32:59
Color is really hard to find these colors, My god, Tony. And
33:04
then I got a glimpse of Mitch and as a heaterosexical male I mean female,
33:09
I mean whatever. I was just like, what happened to Mitch?
33:13
This glow up? I remember when he got married and his kilt and I'm
33:15
like, okay, whatever I am. But I don't know. He like
33:20
got really tall, he grew out his hair, he lost a little white
33:24
and I'm like, hop hop it can. And then Aspen gorgeous, Isabelle
33:31
gorgeous, Machelti gorgeous. I know this family's got some good genes. Even
33:37
Peyton. I was like, damn, dude, you are fucking tall.
33:40
He's a strapping young man. Yeah he is. And then when the girls
33:45
got their dresses on, they had like different shades of like lilac red and
33:51
pinkies. I'm like, oh, it's beautiful, so pretty. All of
33:53
these girls looked so beautiful. Yep. We have that scene with Maddie and
34:00
she is trying to say how much she loves David for Christine, and she
34:06
starts crying and she's like, I don't want to cry. And my thought
34:12
watching this was first of all, how sweet and how lovely. But I
34:15
also really noticed how resistant she is to be vulnerable on camera, which got
34:22
me thinking, like, wow, like, these kids probably have some trauma
34:28
left over for being so terribly exploited totally for years and years that she doesn't
34:35
even want to cry on camera and give that bit of herself away, Oh
34:38
for sure. And she's Janelle's kid, and Janelle doesn't like to be emotional
34:42
either. See all of that on top of it, but I did really
34:45
like that she was there and just like getting emotional about it and just showing
34:49
her support for Christine. I just love it. It's like such a good
34:52
fuck you to Cody and Robin. Also that Janelle's kids and everybody they're all
34:57
supporting Christine. It's great. Also, I love the fact that this is
35:00
going to be the biggest, most beautiful wedding that the family has ever seen,
35:06
and the fact that it wasn't Robin's wedding, the fact that it's Christine's
35:10
wedding is just a beautiful thing. It's so great. And I was wondering
35:14
to myself, do Robin and Cody watch these episodes? Do you think they're
35:16
gonna watch? You know they're watching? Really oh, I think they're going
35:21
to make a point to not watch it. Du we don't care bitter as
35:24
watching. I think they're gonna watch it, really yeah, Because if I'm
35:29
Robin and I'm the last one standing with the prize that is Cody Brown,
35:34
and I'm looking upon this lavish, beautiful, breath taking wedding and all of
35:40
the family that refuses to spend any time with me because of me. If
35:45
I'm watching that, I'm I'm dying inside. Oh, totally. She is
35:49
so jealous, so envious because Cody can't give her that he's fucking broke his
35:53
hell, he's on his way to being broke as out. They're going to
35:57
start tap dance and I'm telling you so yeah. They are going to start
36:00
trying to manufacture drama and the storyline, because what else do they have besides
36:05
Cody's unhinged ranting. I don't know. It's either going to be that or
36:07
they're going to pretend to be good people. Like they're gonna which is boring,
36:12
the switch yeah, which is boring, and that they care about their
36:15
image. They're narks. They want people to like them. Really, I
36:19
don't think Cody has cared the last three seasons whether anybody fucking likes him.
36:23
He has been acting like a hysterical person, just answering myself. He's been
36:31
acting like a monster. Oh yeah, on camera, he knows it.
36:35
He even says, I think at some point in this episode he's like,
36:37
I've been pissed off for three years, so he recognizes it. Sorry,
36:43
I didn't mean to cut you off. Robin cares. Yeah, So I
36:45
think Robin's gonna make him care and be like, dude, I'm getting reamed
36:50
online right now, Like we are all getting fucked because of your antics.
36:53
So let's just pretend like we're good people and like we're happy for then that
36:57
ruins the show. And I'm just saying, like we're watching these specials together.
37:02
We're obviously all we're all most of us are women here, We've got
37:07
some men, but like, we all get it. We want this for
37:08
Christine. She really deserves it. So we're gonna watch these episodes. We're
37:13
gonna talk about it. But if you want to project this out for an
37:15
entire season of Christine being happy, Janelle being happy, and Cody and Robin
37:21
being happy, nobody's gonna watch. Truly, nobody's gonna watch. I mean,
37:24
yeah, what do we want? We want drama, we want destruction,
37:28
we want honesty. And that's the thing. It wouldn't even take that
37:30
much. All it would really require is for them to start telling the whole
37:35
truth and also to start being litigious. Oh and filing some lawsuits and opening
37:40
the books like that is really all it would take for us to be all
37:44
in. But if what they're gonna do, and this production house is the
37:46
fucking worst, I know, if what they're gonna do is just give us
37:52
another season where we're watching Christine fall in love with David after we already watched
37:57
them get married oh and heard about their origins. I mean, I don't
38:01
really know how we saved this show, right, Like, nobody wants to
38:05
watch that even these wedding special this wedding special, I found myself getting a
38:09
little annoyed with Christine, Like I'm glad that she's happy. I'm not,
38:14
you know, ragged in on her for that at all. But I felt
38:16
like she was being a little performative. She was being a little petty because
38:21
she knows Kristin, Cody, and Robin are probably watching this, and she
38:24
wants to show off and she wants to be flamboyant about it. And that's
38:28
great, But like, I don't want to see that for the entirety of
38:31
season nineteen either, Like I really don't. That's great that you're happy and
38:36
you're in love, that's awesome, but it just feels ugh. I don't.
38:40
I mean, I agree, I don't want to. I don't think
38:43
that's going to make a great show either, just watching her and David date.
38:46
But at the same time, I don't agree with you about how she
38:50
was acting in this episode because I think she's so in love. I mean
38:53
the times when she just dipped into and curled into his chest, like when
38:59
she bites her lower lip, like when she's just dreamy eyed looking at him,
39:04
like she is so happy and so in love with him, and I
39:07
was just like I really felt it. I don't think that was performative.
39:09
I think that she's she's she's an older mckelt. Honestly, I think she's
39:15
she's the older mckelt She tries to be the life of the party. She
39:19
tries to be big and bombastic. That's her happy place where she wants to
39:22
be. It doesn't always translate to the people that are watching. Yeah,
39:27
but I don't know. I think she's really I think it's genuine. Yeah,
39:30
I mean it is, it is genuine. But I think there's coming,
39:32
like there's some you bitter, Betty, I am a little bitter.
39:36
I don't know, Like maybe I'm jaded, but I'm just like you jaded
39:38
at twenty seven years old, happily married for seven years. Why would you
39:42
be jaded at somebody else's storytale like fairytale ending? I don't know. I
39:46
was talking with Ethel about it. She felt the same way. She's like,
39:49
Christine's annoying the fuck out of me. Really, do you guys feel
39:51
the same way out there? Are you annoying? I mean she's annoying.
39:54
Yeah, that mckelt is annoying. But I also think she's happy. She's
39:59
happy, And I saw the performance during the season. I saw her going
40:04
out of her way to be petty and to make jobs and to kind of
40:07
set up scenarios where people start talking. But I didn't see a lot of
40:09
that in this episode. But that's just me. Yeah, I mean I'm,
40:14
like I said, I'm happy for her, so like that's great,
40:15
and like she's allowed to be too much and she's allowed to be a little
40:20
over the top, Like that's cool and everything. I just don't want to
40:22
see that for the entirety of season nine. Yeah, and that's what has
40:25
me worried. Yeah, that's really what has me worried. Yeah. Well,
40:29
we end part one with them heading on over to the venue again beautiful
40:34
bridesmaid dresses, and we see Christine about to go into the when she goes
40:38
into the John Wayne room, but then she comes out and she sits down
40:42
on the floor and she's just taking a minute for herself and she's like,
40:44
you know what, this feels so wonderful. I hope every bride feels the
40:49
same way on their wedding day. And she just seems really happy. Yeah.
40:53
I'm excited to see like the actual wedding. Like I'm sure we're going
40:57
to see a lot of it. We're going to see the whole thing.
41:00
You see their vows, which I'm kind of excited for, babe. We'll
41:02
see the after party. Although did you see the preview with her grinding on
41:06
David. Well, we had to addressed this before. I'm like, I
41:07
feel like Christine is giving that sixty year old man a lap dance. She
41:12
is she with, Well, yeah, you think they've been fucking of course
41:17
with trashy, Yes, oh yes, I do. I mean you asked
41:22
the question, I would have to answer honestly, absolutely, they are fucking.
41:25
But my thing is she moved into the town home in September of twenty
41:30
twenty two. She meets David in November something, because she said it was
41:36
December, but that was a lie. So November of twenty twenty two they
41:38
start dating and they're immediately committed to each other. When does she leave the
41:43
town home to move in with David or does David move into her town home?
41:46
When does this happen? Right? I think she moves in with him
41:50
a few months later, So maybe she kept her town home and she's renting
41:52
it out. That would be the smart thing to do. I think she
41:54
was renting it in the first place, so she gave up her lease or
41:57
she subled it. But then they just a home that wasn't ready to occupy.
42:02
I don't know when they moved into that home, so like, where
42:05
were they living in the interim? Oh my god, are we gonna have
42:07
to see all of that? Yes, it is an We're gonna see her
42:12
move in David very quickly. Everybody's gonna get to judge that for sure,
42:16
and we'll probably hear from Cody and see what he thinks about that totally.
42:20
I mean, David's house is probably going to be like an upgrade though,
42:22
compared to everything that Christine's been in, because he's got money, He's got
42:25
his own construction business. He's not just some bogus entrepreneur like Cort, right,
42:30
So I mean, maybe we'll get to the coins then, like maybe
42:35
maybe we'll talk about maybe what money she has or whatever. Maybe we'll get
42:38
to see Janelle untangle her assets. I'm just telling you, tilc I mean,
42:43
we stand before a crossroads. Now. If we go down this road
42:47
and we just talk about how happy everybody is and how Christine is living her
42:52
great life and cooking her beautiful meals, and how Janelle is gardening, and
42:57
how Mary is doing her B and B, nobody cares no, Like we're
43:01
we're as people, as human beings, we're very happy for them, Yeah,
43:06
but as viewers, we're going to start snoring. The other road is
43:09
to encourage these folks to start opening books, having conversations, telling the truth,
43:15
and opening up to the audience. Now, if you go down that
43:19
road, this franchise has legs, Like you could just this will be our
43:22
new normal. We could have maybe two to five more years of great content
43:27
and great ratings. Yes, but it all depends on you. Yep.
43:30
And same thing with Cody and Robin, Like if we're just gonna see them
43:34
make fake storylines with their stupid kids and like it's gonna be all a bunch
43:37
of bullshit as opposed to them being honest about what they're doing with their house,
43:40
the renovations, if they're going to declare bankruptcy, like we want to
43:44
see all this shit, Yes, and we deserve it. We deserve it.
43:47
Yes, eighteen fucking season, nineteen seasons of this there investments, we
43:52
have made, the sacrifices we have made you for oh right. The preview
43:59
for next week, we have Christine putting on her dress. She's still in
44:02
love with it, and I just have to say, I gotta be a
44:05
hater. That dress is too loose. Somebody needs somebody needed to what do
44:09
you what do you take it? Nippit tucket? Ye, something needs to
44:13
be a little I didn't like the dress, to be quite honest with you,
44:15
but I love that she loves the dress. God such a hater,
44:20
I know. We see her walking down the beautiful aisle to her living man
44:24
up platform. He can't wait to marry her. He wanted to eat.
44:29
Oh yeah, and so she's she's walking to him. We see Cody talking
44:32
about his wedding to Christine and Robin shuts him up, like, shut the
44:36
shut, shut the flock. Do you ever shut up? Man? And
44:42
then we see the sexy reception. Yeah, with Hunter partying. Everybody's partying,
44:45
everybody's having a great time. I just love that we're in our liquor
44:50
era, We're in our intoxicato era where we get to see all these Mormons
44:53
just having fun, handy drank and getting tattoos, having a great time.
45:00
The Browns they're just like us, they are just like Well, any final
45:05
thoughts before we I can't believe we got fifteen minutes out of that episode,
45:12
but we're talking about this. We're like, how are we gonna talk about
45:15
all of this? There was not much there. I'm hoping like next wedding
45:20
special is gonna be better. There's gonna be more cringing moments with that lap
45:22
dance and all that. She's going to be all over David. Oh God,
45:25
give it to me. I love that shit. You know, they're
45:28
a honeymoon. There's gonna be banging. The more cringe the better. Do
45:31
you think he has to use like Siaalis or Viaga or anything. I mean,
45:35
he's like almost sixty. Yeah, I have no idea how that works,
45:38
but I'm just going to err on the side of he's probably got some
45:43
blue pills. He wants to make a night of it. He can't just
45:45
be like, you know, one and done and hopefully my dick gets hard
45:49
or maybe it's like halfway hard and I've got to try and shove it in
45:52
there and move it around a little bit, like he wants to make sure,
45:54
like I can perform one more wood and Yeah, so maybe some blue
45:58
pills give her the out of her life. Honey. Oh my god,
46:00
do you think he focks are real good? Do you think he like eats
46:02
her box and stuff? And I think he probably has to eat her box,
46:06
yeah, because I don't know that he fos are, what do you
46:08
really well, I don't know. I just can't imagine. Maybe so,
46:12
I mean, it's not that much older than me. Would truth be told?
46:15
And I'm a freak. I mean, okay, I don't your mother
46:17
in law is a freakingny. I don't know. I could tell yeah and
46:22
teach you be known, but I just can't see this dude. I don't
46:25
know. Maybe he's fucking freaky. Dude. Sometimes the older men, like,
46:30
listen, I work in the medical field and I'm scheduling exams for all
46:32
these old men, and some exams we have to tell him no sex for
46:37
three days. And I'm telling you these seventy five eighty year old eighty five
46:40
I had a ninety year old guy complained to me. He's like, really,
46:44
no sex for three days. I was like, yes, sir.
46:45
He's like, wow, I'm gonna have to tell my wife he was dead
46:49
after he was joking. No, he was just with the young chippy on
46:52
the phone. But some of the seventy five year olds and stuff. They're
46:57
banging, but what about their hips? Yeah, but they could still they
47:00
lie down, they're palvis down. That's shocking to me. I mean,
47:06
I don't know, but I mean, I can tell you that at my
47:07
ripe old age it's sexually active, sexually active bebe probably get it in you.
47:14
I'm just saying raw. So I mean it doesn't so I could see.
47:16
I mean, I don't know, I could I don't know, girl
47:20
insummation. I hope Christine got a deep dicken on the night of her nuptials.
47:25
She deserves it. And you know, Cody was terrible in bed after
47:30
he got his children from her. It was just pump and dump and keep
47:34
it moving. If that pity sex obligations. He wasn't eating the box,
47:38
no, no foreplay, no interesting positions, no like sex swing, cod
47:46
had no toys. Do you think Christine's getting freaky? Do you think she's
47:51
learned a few things after yeaing him? I mean, I don't know,
47:54
I think so. I hope. I hope so me too. Maybe they're
47:58
doing some Comma sutra like I'm Jenny AND's my god. Well, so we'll
48:04
be back next week to obviously wrap up the Sister Wives season. I know,
48:08
