Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Reality TV Cringe. I am one
0:08
Speaker 1: of your hosts, Delia here with my Real Tight Homegirl
0:11
Speaker 1: and my daughter in law Beatra. We are here to
0:17
Speaker 1: continue our conversation about Sister Wives in the never ending
0:23
Speaker 1: season nineteen. My God, I swear to god we started
0:27
Speaker 1: this season. I want to say July of last year
0:29
Speaker 1: or August.
0:30
Speaker 2: It's got It's had to have been a year almost
0:33
Speaker 2: almost been a lot.
0:36
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fatigue out there for the Browns,
0:38
Speaker 1: but we are back. We are continuing to discuss the
0:43
Speaker 1: passing of Garrison. It's a somber time for the audience
0:47
Speaker 1: and for the raccoons. But we have a lot of commentaries,
0:51
Speaker 1: so before we get into it, we do want to
0:53
Speaker 1: remind you to please had your wife and hyde your kids.
0:56
Speaker 1: This is a politically incorrect podcast. We say a lot
1:00
Speaker 1: of dumb things, we have stupid opinions, and sometimes we swear.
1:06
Speaker 1: So if you're a sot way, you might want to
1:12
Speaker 1: find yourself another dumpster. But if you want to go
1:16
Speaker 1: look at some random signs in Cody, Wyoming, welcome to
1:20
Speaker 1: this dumpster rage. So aggravating, But.
1:27

1:29
Speaker 2: objectively stupid and pretty we are. Please be sure to

2:02
Speaker 1: is greatly appreciated, so thank you. In now, I do
2:07
Speaker 1: want to say that Beatrice and I are going to
2:11
Speaker 1: be having a little bit of an after show for
2:14
Speaker 1: the Patreon Raccoons directly after this episode, in which we
2:18
Speaker 1: are going to maybe get a little bit more real
2:21
Speaker 1: and raw about some of our opinions surrounding what's going
2:25
Speaker 1: on in the timeline currently with Garrison and his passing.
2:29
Speaker 1: And we have some strong opinions, but we don't necessarily
2:32
Speaker 1: think it's appropriate for general consumption, but we are going
2:36
Speaker 1: to be reserving that for those of you on Patreon.
2:38
Speaker 1: So again, if you want to be privy to that, definitely,
2:41
Speaker 1: go and sign up at our Patreon And also there's
2:43
Speaker 1: been some hot goss. Yes, there's been some tea that's dropped.
2:46
Speaker 1: That also, I think is a bit inappropriate to discuss
2:50
Speaker 1: while we are recapping the episodes, and we will include
2:53
Speaker 1: that as well in the after show, So if you're
2:57
Speaker 1: a vip raccoon, make sure you stay tuned for that.
3:00
Speaker 2: Yes, because I know we got a lot of comments
3:02
Speaker 2: last week about how we were being too nice and
3:05
Speaker 2: giving a lot of grace, but we really are trying
3:07
Speaker 2: to be respectful given the nature of this, like the
3:11
Speaker 2: subject nature and Garrison's passing is really tragic and sensitive,
3:15
Speaker 2: and like we don't want to be too critical, but
3:17
Speaker 2: at the same time, we do want to be critical, right,
3:20
Speaker 2: So we'll save it for Patreon. So go join us
3:23
Speaker 2: in the vip dumpster. There's a lot of like bonus
3:26
Speaker 2: juicy trash up there. I promise it's worth it.
3:29
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, that's why we're doing it. We're just
3:31
Speaker 1: we're trying not to be completely and totally rotted, yeah,
3:34
Speaker 1: which we normally are around this. We don't want to be,
3:37
Speaker 1: so we hope you understand. Okay, So we are going
3:41
Speaker 1: to be recapping again season nineteen, episode twenty.
3:44
Speaker 2: Four, entitled Blessed Are Those Who Mourn? Yeah, it's a
3:49
Speaker 2: pretty somber episode. It's definitely all about everyone's grief and
3:54
Speaker 2: how they're handling the grief of Garrison's passing, like leading
3:57
Speaker 2: up to his memorial and his ultimate burial. It looks
4:01
Speaker 2: like next episode we're gonna be burying him, but I
4:06
Speaker 2: guess he's also cremated at the same time. I don't
4:09
Speaker 2: know how that works. I guess they're burying ashes. I
4:11
Speaker 2: don't know, but we're gonna get to that in the
4:13
Speaker 2: next episode. A couple people have commented on YouTube saying
4:16
Speaker 2: that this was gonna be a three parter, and they
4:18
Speaker 2: are definitely right. Okay, I don't know if next week's
4:21
Speaker 2: episode's going to be the last one, if like we're
4:23
Speaker 2: gonna end the season like that or.
4:25
Speaker 1: I think we should.
4:26
Speaker 2: I think we should too, But I don't know if
4:28
Speaker 2: there's going to be another because I think there was
4:29
Speaker 2: like rumors that it was gonna be like twenty six
4:32
Speaker 2: episodes or twenty eight episodes for this season, and.
4:35
Speaker 1: Just like twenty eight episode, we just like, is it
4:38
Speaker 1: the Tellos already? Like damns?
4:40
Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, so I don't know if next week's
4:42
Speaker 2: going to be the last one, but we'll see. But
4:45
Speaker 2: this week we started off in North Carolina at Maddie's house.
4:48
Speaker 2: I think Caleb is like saying a prayer at the
4:51
Speaker 2: dinner table. It's been a few weeks since garrisonce passing.
4:55
Speaker 2: Janelle has been planning the memorial, and she's obviously emotional
4:59
Speaker 2: but still remaining stoic. And they discussed talking about discuss
5:05
Speaker 2: talking discuss taking Garrison to Wyoming, because that's where they
5:09
Speaker 2: want to bury him, in that little Wyoming cemetery out
5:14
Speaker 2: there level.
5:15
Speaker 1: Which I think is very wholesome. Yes, And they talk
5:18
Speaker 1: a lot about how Garrison spent a good amount of
5:22
Speaker 1: time in Wyoming as a child, and when Cody and
5:26
Speaker 1: the original three wives first got together, they lived part
5:30
Speaker 1: of that time in Wyoming, which I think I kind
5:33
Speaker 1: of knew, but I always just associated them with Lehigh
5:37
Speaker 1: Ye being in Utah's So apparently there's like a very
5:39
Speaker 1: deep connection not just with Cody, but with Garrison to
5:42
Speaker 1: the ranch that they would visit every year, and they
5:45
Speaker 1: would work at the ranch and learn the value of
5:48
Speaker 1: hard work, and so he had a real connection to
5:50
Speaker 1: that and so I think it's a great choice. I mean,
5:52
Speaker 1: I'm happy for them if they're happy me too.
5:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's pretty wholesome that they're doing that
5:57
Speaker 2: and that the whole family is going to get together
5:59
Speaker 2: for that. But we'll tell talk more about that later.
6:01
Speaker 2: And then we kind of bop over to Salt Lake
6:04
Speaker 2: City in Utah with Christine and David, and this is
6:09
Speaker 2: where we get to kind of hear more from Christine
6:12
Speaker 2: and how she's dealing with the grief and everything. I
6:14
Speaker 2: guess she talks to Janelle all the time, so she's
6:17
Speaker 2: keeping up to date with how Janelle's feeling and checking
6:19
Speaker 2: in on her. And Christine talks about how she's really
6:23
Speaker 2: grateful that Garrison was able to make it to her
6:25
Speaker 2: wedding so she has all of those photos, which is
6:27
Speaker 2: really great. And then she talks about going to a
6:31
Speaker 2: movie where like a father lost his son and she
6:35
Speaker 2: just like lost.
6:36
Speaker 1: It, right. I guess it was a movie where the
6:38
Speaker 1: father had been in a coma and he woke up
6:40
Speaker 1: and said, where's my son? And his son had passed,
6:43
Speaker 1: and so that really struck Christine. And she's talking to David,
6:47
Speaker 1: and I just really liked to see their connection here
6:51
Speaker 1: and their relationship because David, for as light as he
6:55
Speaker 1: is and as fun as he is and kind of
6:57
Speaker 1: care free, he also has his own personal history with
7:01
Speaker 1: losing someone this way. His wife also killed herself and
7:06
Speaker 1: he had to deal with that. And as he's talking
7:08
Speaker 1: to the camera, it's been I think twelve years is
7:10
Speaker 1: what he says, like he's still tearing up about it.
7:13
Speaker 1: His children, of course, are still and will always be
7:16
Speaker 1: affected by it, and so this is just something that
7:19
Speaker 1: happens sometimes in families. And I loved how David took
7:24
Speaker 1: care of Christine in this moment because it's never happened
7:27
Speaker 1: to her, I don't think. And also this is one
7:29
Speaker 1: of her children that she raised, and so I can't
7:32
Speaker 1: imagine what Janelle's going through, but I also can't imagine
7:36
Speaker 1: what Mary and Christine are going through. And so I
7:38
Speaker 1: was glad he was there.
7:39
Speaker 2: Me too, and he's just you could see how he's
7:42
Speaker 2: her rock, and he's actually like emotionally supportive and like
7:45
Speaker 2: engaging in the conversation with her and being there for her,
7:48
Speaker 2: and it's just like something that Cody could never be.
7:52
Speaker 2: And so I'm glad that Christine has David in this moment,
7:55
Speaker 2: and she discusses some of her feelings surrounding this, like
7:58
Speaker 2: how she's never going to be a grandma to Garrison's
8:01
Speaker 2: children and she just isn't going to be able to
8:03
Speaker 2: see what he turns into. And then this leads into
8:06
Speaker 2: another discussion about how important it is to keep in touch,
8:11
Speaker 2: in regular touch with the kids, because I guess there
8:14
Speaker 2: were times where she would go like a month or
8:17
Speaker 2: so without talking to Garrison, and she's like, it's a
8:19
Speaker 2: real tragedy, and you can tell that she genuinely regrets that.
8:24
Speaker 2: And I guess she talked to him a couple weeks
8:25
Speaker 2: before he passed, and he was like really excited about
8:29
Speaker 2: starting nursing school and stuff like that. He was on
8:32
Speaker 2: like a good track, and that makes her really emotional
8:37
Speaker 2: kind of recounting that, And she's just discussing that with David,
8:40
Speaker 2: and David's just being her rock and being really supportive
8:44
Speaker 2: and just trying to be there for her.
8:45
Speaker 1: And asking questions, yeah, like tell me about him, like
8:48
Speaker 1: what was he like, and so just opening the floor
8:51
Speaker 1: for her to share her feelings and her memories. And
8:54
Speaker 1: I just thought that that was a wonderful way to
8:57
Speaker 1: see a relationship like a healthy relationship, something that Christine
9:01
Speaker 1: again has never had. And in the last episode, you know,
9:05
Speaker 1: we've got her talking about how her and David have
9:07
Speaker 1: their issues and of course sometimes they squabble, but at
9:10
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they're partners. Yeah, they are
9:12
Speaker 1: there for each other, and you really do see that
9:14
Speaker 1: in that segment, definitely.
9:16
Speaker 2: And then the last portion that we have in Utah
9:19
Speaker 2: is Christine and David in their backyard. I guess Garrison
9:24
Speaker 2: had built some planter boxes or he'd taught truly how
9:27
Speaker 2: to build them or whatever, and so they're using those
9:29
Speaker 2: planter boxes to plant some flowers and stuff. And then
9:32
Speaker 2: they also planted a tree in their backyard, a Sedona
9:36
Speaker 2: Midnight tree.
9:37
Speaker 1: Well, it's a willow tree that they named Sedona Midnight
9:40
Speaker 1: after Garrison's stripper name if you were to be a stripper,
9:43
Speaker 1: which is really funny, and that's a sense of humor.
9:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and that kind of they get into that
9:48
Speaker 2: a little bit throughout the episode of just how Garrison
9:51
Speaker 2: was really lighthearted and really funny and liked to push
9:54
Speaker 2: the boundaries with his humor, and so they want to
9:57
Speaker 2: have fun in a way of remembering him, and so
10:01
Speaker 2: they planted this tree and named it sit Down a Midnight,
10:04
Speaker 2: which I thought was really sweet and a good way
10:06
Speaker 2: to remember him. And it seems like with Christine, like
10:11
Speaker 2: while she has been historically really emotional on the show,
10:15
Speaker 2: she's really trying to keep it together here, which I
10:17
Speaker 2: commend her for because it's really hard to like do
10:20
Speaker 2: that in this kind of a context. But anyway, she's
10:24
Speaker 2: doing her own thing to memorialize Garrison, and I thought
10:28
Speaker 2: that was really sweet.
10:29
Speaker 1: I love that idea just personally, Like when I pass,
10:33
Speaker 1: I do not want to be buried. I did not
10:34
Speaker 1: want to have a coffin or anything like that. If anything,
10:37
Speaker 1: I would be cremated, but I would love to be
10:39
Speaker 1: turned into a tree.
10:40
Speaker 2: Oh and you can do that.
10:41
Speaker 1: I know That's what I would love. And like you
10:43
Speaker 1: can go sit under the tree and you can talk
10:45
Speaker 1: to me if you want to, or Jeremy can go
10:46
Speaker 1: out and bee on it if you want whatever, But
10:49
Speaker 1: like you can go out there and actually have a
10:51
Speaker 1: moment in memory of whoever that person is, and plus
10:54
Speaker 1: you help the earth. And I would love that for myself.
10:56
Speaker 1: And so I personally loved this sentiment too.
11:00
Speaker 2: On a midnight Me too. I thought it was really
11:01
Speaker 2: really sweet, and then we bop on over to Paiwan
11:04
Speaker 2: just for like a brief scene with Mary and her
11:07
Speaker 2: lesbian lover Jen, and Mary and Jen are like joking
11:11
Speaker 2: about something or other about the curtains matching the drape.
11:15
Speaker 1: Right, and Mary's pretending she's never heard that joke before, Like, Okay,
11:20
Speaker 1: come on, Mary, I know you had a banana in
11:22
Speaker 1: your mouth. Yeah, talking to some other man who ended
11:25
Speaker 1: up being a woman. Yeah, don't play coy with me, right.
11:29
Speaker 2: So funny. But then they get into a discussion about
11:32
Speaker 2: Garrison and his passing, and Mary feels really sad about
11:38
Speaker 2: it because it took his passing for the whole entire
11:42
Speaker 2: family to like actually get together because they haven't really
11:45
Speaker 2: been together for quite some time for many years, as
11:48
Speaker 2: we all know, with COVID and all of the bullshit
11:50
Speaker 2: that happened with that. And that made me really sad
11:53
Speaker 2: because it really shouldn't take a loss like this to
11:57
Speaker 2: bring the family all together. And it reminded me of
11:59
Speaker 2: my own fan because my family is really broken and
12:02
Speaker 2: we're all spread out across the country, and when my
12:05
Speaker 2: grandparents passed away in COVID, everybody got together and it
12:10
Speaker 2: was like the first time we were all together in
12:12
Speaker 2: like fifteen years, and it was really ridiculous because it's like,
12:15
Speaker 2: why do we have to wait for something like this
12:18
Speaker 2: to happen for us all to get together? And that
12:20
Speaker 2: was the last time we all got together. Like after that,
12:23
Speaker 2: we don't Nobody talks to each other, right, Nobody hangs
12:26
Speaker 2: out with each other. And so I really felt that,
12:28
Speaker 2: I really felt Mary's pain with that, because you can
12:30
Speaker 2: see her break down in this scene as she talks
12:33
Speaker 2: about that, And I like, I don't want to say
12:36
Speaker 2: I like seeing Mary cry, because I don't. I don't
12:38
Speaker 2: like seeing anybody cry, but I like seeing genuine emotion
12:41
Speaker 2: show from her because she's always walls up and I'm
12:44
Speaker 2: just like, I want more of this, Mary. Yeah, it's
12:46
Speaker 2: okay to be a vulnerable person. Sure, we're all human beings.
12:49
Speaker 2: We all have feelings, Like it's okay to let your
12:50
Speaker 2: guard down a little bit.
12:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like just the way that she jokes with Jen,
12:54
Speaker 1: you know, I suspect I'm a lot more like her
12:57
Speaker 1: than she lets on because she likes to present, you know,
13:01
Speaker 1: very proper or very buttoned up, very closed off. But
13:05
Speaker 1: I think underneath the layers, like she's probably got a
13:07
Speaker 1: body sense of humor, and she probably laughs a lot,
13:10
Speaker 1: and she probably feels things really intensely, and I agree,
13:13
Speaker 1: I wish she would show that more. And yeah, that
13:15
Speaker 1: was her ultimate sentiment. You know, this is just like
13:18
Speaker 1: Garrison to kind of bring us all together in this way.
13:22
Speaker 1: And they talked a little bit again about Mary's response
13:26
Speaker 1: when she heard the news, because again she had been
13:29
Speaker 1: on the couch giving an interview when Cody was texting
13:32
Speaker 1: her and she was ignoring him, which I loved. But
13:35
Speaker 1: then of course she got the message that it was
13:37
Speaker 1: an emergency, here's the news about Garrison, and her first
13:41
Speaker 1: thought is like, okay, Janelle, like what do I do?
13:45
Speaker 1: How do I handle the situation? She calls Jen who
13:48
Speaker 1: is shocked by the news as well, but is of
13:50
Speaker 1: a clearer mind, and just tells her, like, we'll get
13:52
Speaker 1: some food and go to Janelle because Janelle happened to
13:55
Speaker 1: be in Flag stuff at the time, and like, just
13:58
Speaker 1: go feed people and be there. And that is exactly
14:00
Speaker 1: what Mary did. That is the exact kind of thing
14:03
Speaker 1: you want to do in a situation like that. And
14:05
Speaker 1: because she did that, and because she wasn't walls up,
14:09
Speaker 1: closed off, she was able to see all of the kids, right,
14:12
Speaker 1: because it sounds like everybody came. Yeah, even Leon. Yeah,
14:17
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's pretty great. I mean I don't
14:19
Speaker 1: know if Leon was there, but I think Leon showed
14:21
Speaker 1: up and all of the kids were there. So that
14:24
Speaker 1: gave Mary an opportunity to maybe heal some relationships. We
14:28
Speaker 1: know that in the last episode she talked about going
14:32
Speaker 1: over to Robin's and seeing Gwen, and you know, they
14:34
Speaker 1: had some issues as well, according to Gwen on her Patreon,
14:38
Speaker 1: So like having that moment where they could be together
14:40
Speaker 1: was very healing and you love to hear it, Yes.
14:43
Speaker 2: We do love to hear it even in the midst
14:45
Speaker 2: of a tragedy like this, like good things can still
14:48
Speaker 2: come out right, like and the family can still come together,
14:50
Speaker 2: which is important. And then we fast forward after this
14:54
Speaker 2: four months later, after Garrison's passing, and we have Cody
14:59
Speaker 2: and Robin, their vampire children, driving to Cody, Wyoming, where
15:05
Speaker 2: they're going to stay for like a family vacation type
15:09
Speaker 2: of a thing, because they're also going there to bury Garrison,
15:13
Speaker 2: and I guess they're allegedly bringing Garrison's ashes to Wyoming.
15:18
Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. Although we will discuss in the
15:21
Speaker 1: after show some of the information that's coming through about that.
15:25
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, they're showing these scenes of the
15:29
Speaker 1: car heading up to Wyoming, and Robin says something like,
15:33
Speaker 1: you know, Garrison's our passenger, He's traveling with us, And
15:37
Speaker 1: I just had to wonder to myself and perhaps diabolically,
15:42
Speaker 1: but I had to wonder, like, would Garrison have wanted that?
15:46
Speaker 1: Would Garrison have wanted to be a passenger in your
15:48
Speaker 1: car versus Janelle's car or with Maddie or Logan, Like,
15:52
Speaker 1: I don't know that just that was my thought. Again,
15:54
Speaker 1: I'll elaborate later, but this whole segment, or the couple
15:59
Speaker 1: of segments that featured Cody and his family and Cody
16:02
Speaker 1: just really hit me. The rock way bit dry me too.
16:06
Speaker 1: I'm like, are we going on a family vacation right now?
16:08
Speaker 2: Like?
16:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, why are we going into a coach? Why are
16:11
Speaker 1: we gonna go watch a show? Why are we talking
16:14
Speaker 1: about Buffalo Bill ice cream? Why are we also making
16:17
Speaker 1: it all about you and Robin caretaking Cody because.
16:21
Speaker 2: She's so worried about Cody.
16:23
Speaker 1: He's gonna be sad at Graveside. I'm like, of course, yeah,
16:26
Speaker 1: you're going to the grave side and that's what happens.
16:29
Speaker 1: People feel things. But like she's not talking about Garrison
16:33
Speaker 1: at all, No, not at all, I can hear again,
16:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull back because I don't want to be inappropriate,
16:37
Speaker 1: but I didn't hear a lot or anything from Robin
16:41
Speaker 1: about her experience of Garrison.
16:44
Speaker 2: None.
16:45
Speaker 1: And there she's on the couch again, trying to force
16:48
Speaker 1: out a tear. I know, like, why would you do
16:50
Speaker 1: that when you know we're all watching you and in
16:53
Speaker 1: this moment especially, we're watching you and you're trying to
16:56
Speaker 1: squeeze out a tear and there are no tears beaddris.
16:59
Speaker 2: I just don't understand it. This whole scene in Cody,
17:03
Speaker 2: Wyoming was just really aggravating for me, and I will
17:06
Speaker 2: save it for the after show. But Robin did say
17:08
Speaker 2: something interesting where she said, I think the grave site
17:13
Speaker 2: will be sad, Like I think going to the gravesite
17:15
Speaker 2: will be sad. I'm like, what do you mean you think?
17:17
Speaker 2: Like it is objectively sad?
17:20
Speaker 1: It's a sad thing can psychopath. Sorry, I will save
17:23
Speaker 1: it and let me just say again, like we normally
17:26
Speaker 1: share everything on the General Pod, but because of the
17:31
Speaker 1: subject matter, we feel it would be more appropriate to
17:34
Speaker 1: just talk about this in front of the Patreon raccoons.
17:37
Speaker 1: We're not trying to hide anything from you all. We're
17:38
Speaker 1: not trying to withhold anything from you all. We just
17:40
Speaker 1: want to be more appropriate, that's all.
17:42
Speaker 2: We just want to be sensitive to the important thing here,
17:45
Speaker 2: which is Garrison's passing. And we don't want to be
17:48
Speaker 2: like spewing a bunch.
17:49
Speaker 1: Of vitriol right.
17:50
Speaker 2: Like on the internet and reaction to that, because I
17:53
Speaker 2: don't know if that would be good for him and
17:55
Speaker 2: his memory. So yeah, but just know that's why.
17:59
Speaker 1: Just know that's the reason and why.
18:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, and everything that you're feeling and thinking.
18:02
Speaker 1: Hmmm, we agree. So while we're in Cody, we go
18:06
Speaker 1: to an ice cream shop. While we are in Cody,
18:09
Speaker 1: we get on to some sort of carriage or a
18:12
Speaker 1: coach as a family. While we are in Cody, we
18:15
Speaker 1: go out to dinner.
18:17
Speaker 2: Oh.
18:18
Speaker 1: Before we do that, though, we go on a tour
18:20
Speaker 1: of downtown Cody, and we see all of the signs
18:25
Speaker 1: that Cody Brown sold to these various businesses, because that
18:28
Speaker 1: was one of his first jobs. And it's not like
18:30
Speaker 1: he designed the signe. No, it's not like he created
18:33
Speaker 1: the science or built the science. He just sold the signs,
18:35
Speaker 1: I'm sure for some sort of a commission. But like
18:37
Speaker 1: the way he walks up and down these streets, just
18:40
Speaker 1: bragging about these signs. And we even go into some saddlery, Yeah,
18:44
Speaker 1: Keith's saddlery or something like that, and talk to this
18:47
Speaker 1: guy who builds saddles, and I'm like, why are we
18:49
Speaker 1: Why are why are we having this scene right now?
18:53
Speaker 1: What does this have to do with the overarching theme
18:56
Speaker 1: of Garrison's passing? Why are we doing this right now?
19:00
Speaker 2: No idea? And then we have a discussion about how
19:02
Speaker 2: Cody was named after Buffalo Bill, I guess, and how
19:06
Speaker 2: his dad changed Cody from with a sea to a
19:10
Speaker 2: k because he wanted to be unique. I'm like, I
19:11
Speaker 2: literally don't care.
19:13
Speaker 1: And I literally don't care. Something when Cody says that
19:16
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill was a bit of a showman and an entertainer,
19:20
Speaker 1: Cody Robin kind of smiles and says, well, don't you
19:23
Speaker 1: think you're kind of like that too, which I thought
19:25
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting and funny because he is an entertainer.
19:28
Speaker 1: He has no substance. He is just a showman. Yeah,
19:31
Speaker 1: But he denies it that he does deny it, which
19:33
Speaker 1: I guess he's entertaining. I mean, I like to entertain you.
19:36
Speaker 2: Rody, I guess yeah, I'm like okay.
19:38
Speaker 1: And all the children are just sitting around and like
19:40
Speaker 1: what's happening, just.
19:41
Speaker 2: Eating their food and looking vacants. Yes, because they're not
19:44
Speaker 2: supposed to be awake during the day, if you know,
19:51
Speaker 2: you know. And then we have like a scene at
19:53
Speaker 2: the end of all of this with Cody talking about
19:56
Speaker 2: how they need to do happy things as a way
20:00
Speaker 2: of processing the loss of Garrison, and he does kind
20:05
Speaker 2: of break down a little bit into some tears, but
20:08
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that later.
20:10
Speaker 1: As if he's trying to get ahead of criticism he
20:13
Speaker 1: knows will come in because they're showing all of this
20:16
Speaker 1: footage of him comforting with his family through quoty Wyoming,
20:19
Speaker 1: And so maybe he isn't so dumb that he doesn't
20:22
Speaker 1: realize that a lot of us are gonna be going
20:23
Speaker 1: why are we watching this right now? Why aren't you
20:25
Speaker 1: still Why aren't you doing what Janelle and Mary and
20:28
Speaker 1: Christine are doing, which is talking about Garrison right and
20:30
Speaker 1: you're they're in Wyoming for a reason. Why aren't we
20:33
Speaker 1: talking more about that? So it says if he wanted
20:36
Speaker 1: to do damage control. Within the same episode that we.
20:39
Speaker 2: Watch, Yeah, because then he also says that Garrison's photo
20:43
Speaker 2: will always be in his garage, so that way he
20:46
Speaker 2: will always be able to see him and remember him.
20:50
Speaker 2: And I have some feelings about that mm hmmm, because
20:53
Speaker 2: I just I'm just like, why is it in your
20:54
Speaker 2: garage though, Like, why can't you just like bring it inside?
20:57
Speaker 2: Why can't it be above the fireplace, like where you
21:00
Speaker 2: see it every single day in your office? Maybe his
21:03
Speaker 2: garage or his workshop is his office, Okay, but it
21:06
Speaker 2: does feel like Garrison can't come in the house. Yeah,
21:10
Speaker 2: just like in the last few years of his life
21:12
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to come into.
21:13
Speaker 1: The house exactly. Again, I don't want to be rude.
21:16
Speaker 2: I don't want to be rude either, but I didn't
21:18
Speaker 2: like it. And then we end the episode in Flagstaff.
21:22
Speaker 2: Janelle goes back to flag Staff to help Little Savannah
21:25
Speaker 2: pack up because I guess she wants to move in
21:28
Speaker 2: with Maddie and Caleb and Janelle out in North Carolina.
21:32
Speaker 2: So Janelle's over at I think her old dorm apartment.
21:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it was the second the second Yeah, after
21:39
Speaker 1: the dorm apartment. It was the nicer apartment right.
21:41
Speaker 2: That Savannah has been living in while she was going
21:44
Speaker 2: to college or whatever. So Janelle's there to help her
21:46
Speaker 2: pack up, and Janelle talks about Savannah seeing the property
21:52
Speaker 2: that they just bought in North Carolina. I guess she
21:55
Speaker 2: has seen it before, but she hasn't like spent some
21:57
Speaker 2: significant time there, so it'll be cool for her to
22:00
Speaker 2: go there and enjoy it and see the plans of
22:03
Speaker 2: like building their houses and stuff out there and starting
22:05
Speaker 2: a farm. Janelle makes a comment about how Garrison didn't
22:09
Speaker 2: get to see the property, which is really sad, and
22:11
Speaker 2: then this kind of segues into a comment Janelle makes
22:15
Speaker 2: about how her and Savannah are kind of cut from
22:19
Speaker 2: the same cloth and Maddie and Maddie from their mom
22:22
Speaker 2: I think, or Janelle's mom, where they're all very stoic.
22:25
Speaker 2: They're not demonstrative in their emotions, but they do feel
22:29
Speaker 2: them very deeply. They're just not like super expressive, especially
22:33
Speaker 2: in public, which makes sense. Like I said last week,
22:36
Speaker 2: not everyone grieves the same way, not everyone expresses their
22:38
Speaker 2: emotions the same way, and that's all completely valid. We're
22:41
Speaker 2: all different that way, unless you're Cody and Robin. But
22:45
Speaker 2: so Janelle and Savannah are packing up, and then I
22:50
Speaker 2: guess they're talking about like moving into Maddie's house, so
22:53
Speaker 2: I guess Savannah's going to be living there.
22:55
Speaker 1: They're all going to be living in Maddie and Caleb's house,
22:58
Speaker 1: so every single bedroom is spoken for, and I know
23:02
Speaker 1: Janelle is wanting to make sure that she and Savannah
23:06
Speaker 1: contribute equally to the house, like they're doing the laundry,
23:09
Speaker 1: they're doing the dishes, they're helping around the space with
23:11
Speaker 1: the grandkids and all of that. So they're just they're
23:13
Speaker 1: all going to be living together. And although I'm sure
23:16
Speaker 1: that is going to be a huge adjustment for everybody,
23:18
Speaker 1: I also think that it's perfect me too, for everybody,
23:21
Speaker 1: and it's probably exactly what they need is to be together, definitely,
23:25
Speaker 1: And I wish Gage would get over there. I was
23:27
Speaker 1: just about to say, to Escape a girlfriend. I know
23:29
Speaker 1: I see him from time to time, like on social media,
23:32
Speaker 1: and there's a girl with him, but I don't know
23:34
Speaker 1: if he's currently got a girlfriend.
23:36
Speaker 2: I know Hunter does, Yeah, he definitely does. But Hunter's
23:40
Speaker 2: not in flag Staff anymore though, right He's on the
23:42
Speaker 2: East coast.
23:42
Speaker 1: Somewhere.
23:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know if Gabe has some Is
23:46
Speaker 2: he in Flagstaff or is he.
23:48
Speaker 1: I thought he was. Yeah, I believe he was in
23:50
Speaker 1: flag Staff at least at this time. I don't know
23:52
Speaker 1: where he is right now in the Year of Our
23:53
Speaker 1: Lord twenty twenty five. Yeah, but it'd be great if
23:55
Speaker 1: he could also maybe head on over to the East
23:58
Speaker 1: coast or to North Carolina to be closer to family. Yeah,
24:01
Speaker 1: because he's so sensitive. I know's he's this big heart
24:04
Speaker 1: with you know, arms and legs, and he's feeling so
24:08
Speaker 1: deeply and I just want him to have the support.
24:11
Speaker 1: But maybe he does. Maybe he's got a girl, maybe
24:13
Speaker 1: he's got friends. I don't know.
24:14
Speaker 2: I'm hoping he does. And I think last episode they
24:16
Speaker 2: said he was in therapy, which is good because he
24:18
Speaker 2: needs it, and I mean all of them do. So
24:20
Speaker 2: I hope he's okay. But little Savannah's going to move
24:23
Speaker 2: in with mom and sister and all that, which is
24:25
Speaker 2: going to be great. And then after they pack up everything,
24:28
Speaker 2: then they head over to High Country Humane Society.
24:31
Speaker 1: I loved this me too, Can I just say it
24:34
Speaker 1: right at the top. I just thought that this was
24:36
Speaker 1: so great for Janelle and that Janelle was courageous enough
24:41
Speaker 1: to show these emotions, which it's very difficult for her
24:45
Speaker 1: to demonstrate. And she's like, I mean the problem that
24:50
Speaker 1: like the thing that gives her the problem is talking,
24:53
Speaker 1: like she's feeling it, but like when it comes to
24:55
Speaker 1: actually speaking, she has a very difficult time. But she
24:58
Speaker 1: goes nonetheless, and she allows us to go with her
25:00
Speaker 1: to the Humane Society where I just girl when I
25:04
Speaker 1: heard how many people donated to the Humane Society, not
25:09
Speaker 1: just this humane society, but the other humane societies in
25:12
Speaker 1: that local area, and people also donated to their own
25:16
Speaker 1: humane societies, their local ones across the nation in the
25:20
Speaker 1: name of Garrison Brown. And then people from other countries,
25:23
Speaker 1: I know, international raccoons I know were donating money. I
25:26
Speaker 1: think they said they made like twenty five thousand dollars
25:30
Speaker 1: from the donations just to that, just to the main society,
25:33
Speaker 1: which allowed them to like sponsor cat adoptions for the
25:39
Speaker 1: month of March thirty six. Yeah, they adopted thirty six
25:42
Speaker 1: kiddies out, which is so beautiful and you know Garrison
25:45
Speaker 1: would love.
25:45
Speaker 2: That of course. Yeah, so it made me really really
25:48
Speaker 2: happy with this scene. I thought it was really wholesome,
25:50
Speaker 2: even though it was kind of sad.
25:52
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was crying. Oh my god, my
25:54
Speaker 1: eyes were leaking me.
25:55
Speaker 2: Too, because they go to the room. So the High
25:58
Speaker 2: Country Humane Society dedicated like a whole room to Garrison.
26:02
Speaker 2: They have a memorial plaque on their wall and everything
26:04
Speaker 2: for him because they raised so much money from his
26:09
Speaker 2: passing and everything. Everybody's donating to it. And yeah, they
26:13
Speaker 2: just have a discussion about adopting out the cats and everything,
26:16
Speaker 2: and Janelle talks about how much Garrison loved his cats.
26:19
Speaker 2: He had three of them, So do you I know
26:22
Speaker 2: of three cats?
26:23
Speaker 1: But he just kept adopting right like me, go to
26:26
Speaker 1: like those events where they were adopting out kiddies and
26:29
Speaker 1: he just go to check it out, and inevitably he'd
26:31
Speaker 1: end up with one of his kiddies. And so he
26:34
Speaker 1: had three cats. The first one was cathw.
26:36
Speaker 2: Yes, which I love my name. I love that so much.
26:39
Speaker 1: My next cat is Cashew, and I'm like, oh, no, Matthew.
26:42
Speaker 1: But for a catt, he's a twenty five pound tom.
26:47
Speaker 1: And then he adopted Patches, so the little girl kitty.
26:51
Speaker 1: And then the third one was toward the end and
26:53
Speaker 1: I forget the name of this kiddens, I think, but
26:56
Speaker 1: something like that, Oh my god, yeah, I love that
26:59
Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, he had a big old heart.
27:02
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Mary even says that she's like, I mean,
27:04
Speaker 2: what a heart this kid had to like just care
27:07
Speaker 2: about animals so much, care about people, care about people.
27:10
Speaker 2: I think Christine made a comment about how Garrison really
27:14
Speaker 2: had a tender spot for like the disenfranchised and people
27:18
Speaker 2: in need and everything, which was really really sweet. Just
27:21
Speaker 2: speaks to his character. And I just loved that this
27:25
Speaker 2: is where his legacy is, you know, and just in
27:29
Speaker 2: the humane societies and adopting cats and everything. And I'm
27:32
Speaker 2: glad that we spotlighted this. And Janelle was visibly sad
27:37
Speaker 2: and upset, but at the same time, I really happy
27:39
Speaker 2: and moved.
27:40
Speaker 1: Yes, And you know, I'm sure it was such a
27:43
Speaker 1: moment for her because all of the parents from Sister
27:47
Speaker 1: Wives catch so much grief on social media, and I'm
27:51
Speaker 1: sure she's heard every critique under the sun, and so
27:54
Speaker 1: it was just a great moment for her to hear
27:58
Speaker 1: from the representative from the Humane Societ, like how many
28:00
Speaker 1: people have actually sent messages and money And I was
28:04
Speaker 1: just like such a blessing and I loved to just
28:07
Speaker 1: see her face as she heard about it. Yes, we
28:10
Speaker 1: love you, Janelle. Yes we do criticize, but we're watching
28:12
Speaker 1: a show, but we love you.
28:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone loves you.
28:15
Speaker 1: Everyone loves you. And Savannah, I love you.
28:18
Speaker 2: I know Gabe, Babe Escape's talking about.
28:21
Speaker 1: I guess Gabe has Kathy. Yeah, he took ca of you,
28:24
Speaker 1: and Logan took patches yep, and I'm not sure who
28:27
Speaker 1: took buttons.
28:28
Speaker 2: I think one of the other family members did at least.
28:31
Speaker 2: So everyone's taking care of Garrison's cats, which is really beautiful.
28:35
Speaker 2: And I loved this segment. I loved that this was
28:37
Speaker 2: in his memory and that this humane society benefited so
28:40
Speaker 2: much in his name. That's like really amazing because humane
28:44
Speaker 2: societies don't make a lot of money. A lot of
28:46
Speaker 2: the time, they're losing a lot of money, So like
28:48
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand dollars is like massive, and the fact
28:51
Speaker 2: that they were able to sponsor so many adoptions is
28:53
Speaker 2: really fucking awesome. Yeah, so adopt, don't shot. Yeah, So
28:57
Speaker 2: it was a really sweet way to end this episode,
28:59
Speaker 2: even though really somber and sad.
29:02
Speaker 1: But yeah, there was no preview at least that I
29:05
Speaker 1: saw for next week. Although you had seen on Instagram
29:08
Speaker 1: there was a preview of the grave side or.
29:11
Speaker 2: It was like a very brief scene. I guess they're
29:13
Speaker 2: just going to bury him, and so it's the burial.
29:16
Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to be seeing the memorial,
29:19
Speaker 2: so because I don't think that was filmed, even though
29:21
Speaker 2: there were cameras there, because we saw the photos.
29:23
Speaker 1: From there was like a funeral and then there was
29:27
Speaker 1: a military memorial. Yeah, and so I think the photos
29:30
Speaker 1: that we all saw last year, the was the military memorial,
29:34
Speaker 1: and I don't believe cameras were allowed or were there. Yeah,
29:38
Speaker 1: but I don't know anything about it. And that's what
29:41
Speaker 1: we're actually going to be talking about in the after
29:43
Speaker 1: show because some information came in about cameras at the
29:47
Speaker 1: funeral slash memorial, and there is some talking that we
29:50
Speaker 1: need to do about that.
29:52
Speaker 2: Ye.
29:52
Speaker 1: But some bittersweet moments bitter with Cody, yeah, in CDIA Wyoming, Yeah,
29:58
Speaker 1: but sweet with Savannah and Janelle and Mary and Christina
30:02
Speaker 1: and David.
30:03
Speaker 2: The actual feeling members of the family, Yeah, that actually
30:07
Speaker 2: have empathy and capacity for love. So yeah, that's it
30:10
Speaker 2: for the recap, So we'll get into the after show.
30:13
Speaker 1: We'll get into the after show. We realized that these
30:17
Speaker 1: episodes are a little shorter, but that's because there's not
30:21
Speaker 1: a ton here other than you know, what we've talked about,
30:25
Speaker 1: and we don't want to like be labored too many
30:27
Speaker 1: things because again, this for me is like a sacred
30:30
Speaker 1: subject yea, and we want to be careful. I'm sure
30:32
Speaker 1: when we get to those tell alls look backs, talk backs,
30:35
Speaker 1: we're going to be having longer conversationations. But that's why
30:38
Speaker 1: this is a little shorter.
30:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry about that.
30:40
Speaker 1: So is there anything else that we need to say
30:43
Speaker 1: before we get up on that of here to go
30:45
Speaker 1: into our after show?
30:46
