• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Before we get into this recap, I do have to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: ask you, Beatrice, whether you have a takeaway.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: My only takeaway is like, why are we watching Cody
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: pretend to be a good dad for literally forty five
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: minutes and I constantly talk about like, no, actually, I'm
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: really close with my daughters. Actually I really love all
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of my kids. Actually I'm a really good dad.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like are you though? Beatrice is also the one
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: who designs our thumbnails, so you can tell how she
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: feels about Cody in this episode. Yeah, what do I have?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It was so boring. I got nothing, sorry, Maddie that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you weren't let into the Church of Latter day Saints
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and Jesus Christ and stuff. A bunch of saints and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ and a salamander and I think there was
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a pacaderm in America. Sorry about it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So that's my takeaway. So without further ado, let's get
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: into our recap of season nine, episode seven, and.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: More girls than Cody can handle question Mark. Hmm, okay, whatever,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: So we start the episode with Cody. This is like
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a recap of last week basically, but Cody's telling five
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of his girls Isabelle, Aurora, Brianna, Savannah, and Gwen Savanna.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Savannah is so cute.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: She's such a little baby. She reminds me so much
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of my little sister at that age, like almost to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a teen, and she's so sweet.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: She's such a punky, I know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: But he tells all five of them, Hey, I'm gonna
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: take you guys to a beach trip. It's gonna be
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a daddy daughter like weekend or whatever. It's for Isabelle's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: twelfth birthday. And of course all of the girls are
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: super excited. And it's funny because Cody brings up like
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: part of the reason why he wants to do this
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: is because the anthropology students a couple weeks ago pointed
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: out the fact that he's not as close with his
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: daughters as he is with his sons. So this is
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: totally a response to that which I think you had
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: theorized about last week. Yes, and so you are right
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: because you're fake psychic and yeah, Cody just wants to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: prove that he's close with his daughters, and Robin also
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: told him that if he like maintains the relationship with
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: them at this age, then he will have an easier
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: time to maintain it when they're older in like high
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: school and college.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, And at some point in the episode we
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: have Cody sank I forget who said it. I'm tired,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: so keep up with me, but like somebody said, what
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the archaeologist said, yeah, was really shocking to Cody. Yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And you could kind of see it in the moment
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: when they were at dinner or whatever and they bring
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it up. He shocked. He's concerned at his image because
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of course he's a narcissist, and so since they've been
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: there so two months or whatever, it is like he's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: just been worrying about it and how he can restore
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: his public image as a father. And that is the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: entire reason that we are having this episode. But it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was interesting that one of the wives admitted that he
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was really taken aback by that comment.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I forget who it was to. I want
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to say it was like maybe Robin, maybe Robin, because
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Robin's also pretty heavy in this episode, and she's very
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: much like defending Cody and saying, like, no, he's actually
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a really good dad. He loves all of his kids,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: there's no question about it. And so it seems like
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: maybe both of them are concerned about how Cody is
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: being perceived in the public eye. And it's really crazy
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to see it from that light, because I'm sure back
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: then when this aired, people are like, oh, it's wholesome,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: he's taking his daughters out to the beach, But no,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: it's totally because Cody's worried that everybody thinks that he's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a bad dad. And so then when he's getting ready
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: for the trip, of course you know he's running late,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and it's chaotic because nobody in this family, especially the adults,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: can pack anything in a timely manner or be organized
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form, even when it's only
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: five kids going on a trip, like it's not that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: big of a deal, but like they leave late, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of course the wives are quote micromanaging Cody on like
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: what he should be doing and how much he should
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: be packing, and make sure you do this, and make
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: sure you do that, and Cody's getting annoyed, and Cody
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: makes several comments throughout this episode as like digs to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: his wives, mainly the OG three, where he's just like, Yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: this trip's gonna be like so much easier than bringing
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: my bitch wives on because nobody's gonna be complaining to me,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: nobody's gonna be getting jealous, nobody's gonna be inserting their
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: relationship politics. Because I know my daughters love me, so
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: it'll be easy. It'll be good.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he kept making that comparison.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I kind of hated that, yeah, because I'm wondering if,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: like Christine and Janelle and Mary watched that after the fact,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and we're.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Like, I'm quite sure the hell. It felt like it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: was very pointed toward Christine, and it was like multiple, multiple.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Times he made these comments. It was kind of ridiculous.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And so then Cody and the girls leave and they're
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: driving to Newport Beach in California. It's only like five
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: hours away, but halfway through they stop at some diner
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and they have breakfast for whatever. I don't care. Then
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: they get to the actual beach and they're grocery shopping
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: for food for the next couple days because they rented
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like a little beach house and of course, Cody buys
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: too much stuff, and the girls comment about it because
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. And they get to the beach house and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: everybody's on sign they're picking their room.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So I see that you hated this episode.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't hate it. It's just like, oh well.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: There was one segment where they're talking to the girls
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: who go to California on the couch and Savannah's just
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like this, sorry about that. I lost my wig. Anyway,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Savannah's like fuck, and I took a picture and I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: sent it to you, and I'm like, this is me
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: watching this episode. But have you ever seen that video
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: clip of that girl who's in a podcast and she
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: tips her head back and her wig falls off.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: But your life does not.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, bruh, we gonna keep
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: this And she just looks at the interviewer and she's like, bruh,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: bra oh my god, I gotta find it, and said
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it's so hilarious. Anyway, Savannah is all of us.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Toats because it's just I mean, I think the girls
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: they're young at this point, so they're like trying to
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: lean into the fun part of it. But I'm sure
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: they look back on this trip I would as a
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: young adult, and I'd be like, man, that was dumb,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: because it just it's very obvious that Cody's just trying
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: to like be like, yeah, I'm the fun dad. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Cody keeps making these comments about how the wives like
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: don't trust him or they're worried about how he's gonna do,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: and he's like, I'm gonna be fine. It's gonna be
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: so easy, and it's really not that big of a deal,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like it's just him bringing them.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It isn't, but it's easy to do when you only
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: have four days. And it kind of shines a light
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: on how much of an emotional load the other wives
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: actually take on, because when they do go to the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: grocery store, Cody's just buying whatever. He has no list,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he doesn't know how to shop, which the girls call
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: him out for. You can really see how much the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: wives actually do to keep the family together when Cody
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: has his kids on his own, because remember the last
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: time Cody had his kids on his own, the ladies
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: went to San Francisco right and truly almost died while
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: he burned steaks on the grill.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And Isabelle cut up her foot on that trip too.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Or on that time too, So yeah, I mean, that's
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: fair to be worried about Cody, and I don't know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: it's just funny to me that he acts like he
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: does so much for the family when in reality, the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: women are really just running the entire shit, Like they're
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: doing all of the parenting and all of the cooking
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and all of the cleaning. Like what is Cody doing
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: getting his pencil wet?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and collecting checks right, taking their money.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: And like having to grin and bear time with Mary
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: or Christine for example, like oh god, it's so terrible
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: for you for the man. And this is where Cody
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: at the grocery store, like had made a comment too.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: He had said something like I don't have to deal
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: with my whyfe in the relationship politics because all of
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: my daughters know that I love them. And I thought
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that was really poignant because he's again like digging at
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Christine and the other wives of just like, well, you
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: don't know that I love you because I do obviously,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: even though I never touch you and I never kiss you,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and I never.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Hang out with you, and I'm favoring Robin overtly exactly.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: And then meanwhile, we bought back on over to the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: wives and the cul de sac, and we have Maddie
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: coming over to talk to just Mary and Robin for
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: some reason about the fact that the LDS Church won't
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: let her in because she won't denounce her family or
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: disassociate herself from the family, and because her family is
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: so public, so they won't accept her to the church.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: They won't baptize her. They said that she can still go,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: but she can't be baptized, and they were like, we
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: hope it will make you bitter, we hope, we hope
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you'll reconsider in the future when your family is not
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: as public.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand how these Christian religions. And we
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: can debate whether Mormonism is Christian, which Michelty just had
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a whole reel about that apparently, but essentially your religion
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be centered upon Jesus Christ, who at
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the time of this cross affection was crucified with a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: thief who was not baptized, we would presume, who was
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: probably a sinner and did some bad things. But Jesus
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: turned to him and said, on this day in paradise,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I will see you. I will see you in paradise
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: there's nothing you gotta do in order to get into
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom. And yet with churches like Catholicism, Catholics and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: also Mormonism, you've got to go through this board of
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: white men in order to be admitted into their religion.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It's really distasteful, yep, and really gross. And you get
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a sense that Maddie understands, like, oh wow, Like, if
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: you're going to be that way, then why would I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: ever want to be a part of your religion. I
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't ever.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: She straight up says that she's like, I'm never going
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: to join the Mormon Church, and I won't join any
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: church for that matter, because she says her belief system
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: really only fits with the Mormon Church, it doesn't fit
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: with anything else. But she's just not going to be
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a part of something like that if they're going to
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: make her jump through all of these hoops and make
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: her denounce her family, like, she's just not going to
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: do that. And I'm really glad that she is standing
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: on that principle. And she's very clear to say, like
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with polygamy, like I don't endorse it,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want it for my life. You know, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: love my family and that's their choice and stuff, but like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I don't have to support it to be with my
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: family or whatever. So I just think this whole segment
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: was kind of stupid because we knew that the Mormon
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Church was going to deny her anyway.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure at the time people did not know that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I wonder what Mormons thought about.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I think it was a really bad look for the.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Church totally, But I wonder what they thought about watching this.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sure some who are probably heavy in the church
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: are like, well, yeah, of course, and like except you
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: because your family's a bunch of poligamists. But I just
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: think that that's so stupid. And Maddy even brings up
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Jesus in this too. She's like, Jesus wouldn't say that, No,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't deny me from believing in him or going
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: to worship him in church.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Like not at all. What the hell is Antichrist? It's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: total now I should be wearing my shroud of shit.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Mary and Mary and Robin are both surprised
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: by this, and Robin even says like, I'm super sorry
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that this happened to you, Maddie. And then Janelle on
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the couch is like, I'm shocked that the Mormon Church
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: wouldn't allow her. So it seems like it took everybody
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: by surprise to me. I'm watching this, I'm like, well, duh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: because the Mormon Church is very anti polygamy, so like
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: it doesn't surprise me. But it's like, I just wonder
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: what regular smegular Mormons think when they watch this, Like.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Hm, hmm, do you think this is cool?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Because I don't, But whatever, Who am I just a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: bitch and a wa So then we go back to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the beach with Cody and the girls and he takes
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: them to a little theme park and he didn't take
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: into account that Savannah and Gwen wouldn't really want to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: ride all of the crazy rides, and so he kind
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of does feel a little bad for them. He feels
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: bad that they might feel left out. But then he
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: continues to go on the rides with Aurora, Brienna, and Isabelle,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's like a fun little day at
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: the theme park. It seems cute or whatever.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: We bop on over to the wives on the couch
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and Robin says something like, you know, I was hoping
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that this trip Cody would have like a lot of
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: hard to heart talks with the girls and like one
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: on one time with them, but it seems like they're
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: just partying and having fun.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Kids don't want to have one on one serious talks
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: with their parents. They want to have fun. That's the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: language of your children, and you want to meet them
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: where they are in order to connect, especially.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: At this age. It's not like they're older adults that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: are like starting to think about their life and think
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: about big things. Like they're literally twelve.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And so sabadas like seven exist, So of.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Course they want to do fun things and eat pizza
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and mac and cheese with their dad at the beach.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Like it's not that deep, So I don't know, whatever,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: they have fun at the beach house, and I think
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Christine and Robin talk about their kids, like Robin talks
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: about Aurora and she's so amazing and outspoken, it's just
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: an adventurer, and how Brianna is like quiet but like
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: she's really funny. And then Christine talks about Gwen.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Gwen's awesome. Actually I know she's a truth teller.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: In the moment, she will tell the truth.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: But Christine on the couch is like, well, she's got
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: her good and bad days. So if you catch on
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: a good day, she's great. But you catch her on
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a bad day, oh, leave her alone. I'm like, wow, okay, whatever, Christine.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And then we go back on home to the cul
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: de Sac where we have a little segment with Mary
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: and Janelle, and Mary's in her haunted house and her
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: hair looks great.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: It stopped. It's such a bad hair season for Mary,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: this season of her life with like the blonde, highlighted,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: fried layered but longer.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: It looks significantly less fried than it does in present day.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I get and this one at.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Least has a little, it flows a little.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: It does not. It is so bad. It's so bad
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: for collaring, It's so bad for absolutely everything. Mary, get
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: your shit together, honey.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: She looks kind of like she's getting spray dands. Yes,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: oh indeed, I'm just like, what are we doing? We're
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: in Vegas, Like, just go sit down in the sun
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: for a little bit.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Actually, don't you want to be different? Don't you want
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to be that person who's not like everybody else? I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: would be like as pale as possible in Vegas. Yeah,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I'd be so screening all day for real though.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: But Mary's in her little office and she says, you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: for months ago, Janelle came to be four.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Years ago, four score and seven years ago, she came.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: To me and asked if I would be interested in
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: going in the therapy. And I think, you know, she's
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: waited long enough that she deserves an answer. And so
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: then she walks on over very quickly to Janelle's house.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Well, because she's lost a lot of weight.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she definitely has.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's changing. I wonder why. Hu seems like she's motivated,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah by something.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Motivated by a little banana.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: So inspire, Yeah, something, what could it be?
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: She barges on over into Janelle's house and did you
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: notice she kind of slammed the door. Yeah, I'm like,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: what are you doing?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Just kick the door open like the kool aid man?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Seriously. So she barges in, and Janelle's in the kitchen
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and Mary sits down at her little kitchen bar. Mary's like,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: you want to sit down or something like jeez, chill out,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and so Jenne's like, no, it's final stand. And she
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: now kind of knows what this is about. And she's
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: like a little nervous, she's got her walls up, and
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Mary's like, well, I've been thinking, I've been praying, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I've gotten a lot of encouragement from our god unkole
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Lob that you know, I should move forward with therapy
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: with you. And then Janelle is like taken aback by this.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: She's shocked and actually cries, which we don't really see Janelle.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I was trying to remember any other time I've seen
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Janelle cry. Yeah, she definitely keeps it very garrison, but
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Garah's trying to not show us when she's crying. Yep,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Like she hardly ever cries. She doesn't really show a
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: lot of emotion in general, Like maybe she'll smile or
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: laugh or whatever, but there's a lot that she keeps behind.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And she even says like it takes a lot for
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: me to cry, like the only time I ever really
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: cries when I'm truly shocked about something. And so with
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Mary saying that she agreed to go to therapy with her,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Janelle is shocked. She's overcome with emotion, and she's like, well,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that's great, and then they actually end up hugging, and
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: when Mary hugs her, she starts crying and they're looking
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: forward to therapy together, which I can't remember how many
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: sessions they actually went to. I don't think it's a lot,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and I think nothing is resolved.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think Mary shows up with her walls up, unwilling
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to admit to anything, and Janelle probably senses that, and
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: they don't go anywhere with it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, because I don't think
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: there's much that comes out of this, and I think
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: this is when everything starts to fall apart and then
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the catfish comes out, and so maybe their therapy gets
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: put on the back burner.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Right because we have to deal with that. I did
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: think that it was poignant when Janelle or Mary said
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: that we have spent half our lives together. And you
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: can really see based on their emotions, even though it's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: on camera, even though I'm sure this scene was set
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: up beforehand, you can see the emotion in these women,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: like these ancient wounds that they have given each other
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: that are in them. Did you see that real that
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I sent you like two days ago?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Which one?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: So it's this two guys in a therapy podcast setting.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It's called secondhand therapy or something like that, and the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: guy was talking about speaking to his therapist, and he
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: says at some point, his therapist says, well, we should
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that you have definitely buried a lot of your trauma,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: but we also need to acknowledge that you buried your
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: trauma alive. And when he was talking about it, I'm like, damn, yeah,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: like all of those things that you bury, and we're
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: seeing Mary and Janelle and all of the things that
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: they had to bury just in order to coexist in
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: this weird family structure, all of those things were buried alive,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and so they're still alive and now here we are,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: what twenty years later. Yeah, and because they're willing to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: move a little bit, they're both crying because it's a lie.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: It is, it's a libe in them. Totally very poignant,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I thought.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: And I think when Mary had said that about you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: we've spent half of our lives together, she was like,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: we should make it mean something like after all this time,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: we really should just work on it. And I think
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: that that's really great. It's kind of sad to me though,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: it's like we're watching this like they don't even talk
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and they don't have a relationship, Like even after all
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: of this time. It's kind of a bummer that, like,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: even after all of the divorces, like we can't just
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: like come together. And I don't know whose fault that
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: is really, because Janelle is also a bit of an
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: avoidant person, but Mary is just as bad. And Mary
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: now is just like doing her own thing.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I guess with I think Mary just got to the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: point where she's like, I don't need any of you
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: all anymore, and she does not care. And I do
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: think a lot of us get to that point after
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: trying year after year after year, in whatever kind of
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: relationship it is, You're just like, Okay, well then fuck
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: it right, I'm gonna move on. I'm gonna live my life.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And that's where she is.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I guess that that's fair. I think that's
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: is he leaf blown. I swear you're gonna go yell
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: at him.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I have to maybe yell at him, like what is
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: he doing?
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Now? He was literally out there, was sitting on the couch,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: falling asleep in his recliner with his stupid laptop pretending
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: to work anyway, What were we saying, I'm just pitch ass.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Oh well it wasn't my husband. He's in his recliner.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: It's my neighbors. So I didn't mean it. He's not
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a pitch ass. I'm sorry. Yeah, doesn't he know my podcast?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Doesn't he know my famous on the internet?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: So where were we anyway? So marynge No, they're working
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: on a relationship, but not really.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Here goes.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. And so then we end the episode
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: with Cody and the girls at the beach. They go
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to the beach, they go to a different beach, Huntington Beach,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: to go boogie boarding with the sharks, and then they
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: go back to their little bungalow. And this is where
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: we hear a little bit more from Cody about how
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: he's got a million kids and if he didn't think
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: that all of his kids were great people, he wouldn't
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: keep having kids. So he's just gonna keep progreating because
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: he likes his kids.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: As long as Robin wants to.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: And that's he brought up Robin. He's like, we're limited
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to what Robin wants to do. But she doesn't like
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: when we talk about her reproduction, so I'll just leave
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: it at that, which is just a precursor to like
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: the next episode or two, when she announces to the
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: family that she's pregnant again. So it's just kind of silly.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I was watching this and I was thinking,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe there was a time where Cody did
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: genuinely love all of his children, but just you know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: now that they're adults and that they can speak for themselves,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: and that they pushed back on him, like especially during
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: COVID and stuff, and pushed back on his continued favoritism
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: of Robin. He doesn't actually love them because love for
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: him is conditional, it's not unconditional, and so I think
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: at this time, you know, maybe there was a part
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of him that was coming out of like, yeah, I
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: love all my kids. I think they're all great, But
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: that's because they were young, right, and they couldn't push
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: back as much well.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And the family was still together and it was working,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and he was still in charge of the money. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: now Robin's the legal wife and so everything's coming together.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's great until the kids get older, until
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: your wives leave you, until people start calling you on
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: your bullshit like this podcast. Yeah, exactly.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And then at one point at the end of this episode,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Cody was talking about how, you know, he was looking
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: for things that were wrong in his relationships with his kids,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: mainly because the anthropologists pointed that out, and you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: the wives have been pointing out the fact that he
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: has a disparity between some of his relationships with his kids.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: But you know, on this trip, he found all of
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the things that were actually right. And he's like, you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: like this wasn't a bonding trip because I'm already bonded
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: with my girls, like I already have a great relationship
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: with them, And I'm like, really, do you know, because
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Isabelle has a lot of father wounds, like even to
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: this day, yes, and even in this trip, you can
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: kind of tell like the focus wasn't necessarily on her,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: like we had like a little birthday celebration with her
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: at the very end, but like he was chumming it
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: up with Aurora and Brianna a lot more, and he
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: was like more affectionate with Savannah, like isabel was just
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: kind of in the background, and I was going, yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: and I kind of felt for her. And maybe it's
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: because they're Christine's kids, I think. So, Like we've talked
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: about before many times on the pod that you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: maybe Cody had like his relationships with his kids or
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: a reflection of his relationships with that particular wife. And
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: so of course Christine's kids are left behind, and you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: and Robin's kids are favored, and Janelle's kids have more affection.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Like it's just sad.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It is sad. And when they were at their various
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: activities in California, you could just see when they were
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: walking around, all the girls trying to hold onto his
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: shirt or puld his hand or just be close to him.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: It really felt to me like they are starving, well,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: not Aurora, not Brianna, the other girls are starving for
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: attention from him.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And that kind of got to me. And honestly,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: like when Aurora and Brianna kept saying dad over and
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: over again in reference to Cody, like that was kind
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: of bothering me a little bit. Like as just a daughter,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, he's not your dad.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: The that right, right.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I know it's so petty, but it's just
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: like I wonder what the younger girls were thinking at
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: the time. And maybe it's different for them because they
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: grew up in polygamy and so they're used to sharing
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: their dad with all of their siblings and stuff, and
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: so it's not that big of a deal. But you
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: can just tell that Cody really does favor Robin and
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Robin's kids. H I think so, yeah, more than any
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: of the other ones, Like, no matter what he says,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: you know, I think there was a time where he
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: loved all of his kids before Robin. And that's it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: And so let me get to the preview for the
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: next episode. We have Robin talking to Christine about signing
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the adoption paperwork because we are going to be moving
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: forward with that, and I think we do see the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: adoption very soon where they go all go to court
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: and it's like this big old thing, and Christine talks
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: about how polygamists don't typically win adoption cases or any
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: cases for that matter, because they're polygamists and nobody likes polygamists.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: And then we have Mary talking about her health issues.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: She lost thirty pounds in like a six week period
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: or four week period or something, and you know, she's
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: really worried, so she goes to the doctor and the
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: doctor totally scares her about cancer. I remember that episode.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: So why does she get like a bad PAP smear
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Thanks, So, does she have the HPV or something like
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: that maybe, but.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: She would she have gotten that little Cody? Okay, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: where would he have weren't they each other's first Oh no,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: he went to college.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had that.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Case inappropriate speculation. Sorry, So I remember I thought it
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: was the ech pylori, isn't it the h pylori?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Cody was doing a lot of soaking in college.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: So well, I know that Mary ends up having the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: each pylori, which is some bacteria in your stomach or
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: something like that. But really what's happening is she's not
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: eating because she's planning to meet up with Sam and
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: she doesn't want to be bigger, she wants to be smaller,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: so she's diety.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: She's dieting, but she's worried that everybody's going to catch
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: on to the fact.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: So it's cancer. It could be cancer.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: So he's gonna go to the dock roo and be like,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: can you please say it's cancer?
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: We can't rule it out.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: And it's so messed up because she's got a family
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: history of cancer, so like you're going to the cancer Yeah, yeah,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: You're go to the doctor, and you're like getting all
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: this fear mongery.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Listen, I don't mean to make fun no, anything like that.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: But it's just that we know what's going on right now.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: That's the thing with Mary and the thing. I feel
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: like that's the reason. It's because she wants to lose
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: weight for her mia is totally yeah for her.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Lesbian yeah, yes. And then Robin is stressed out. I
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: guess like the way they edit it in the preview
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: is like Robin's stressed out about Mary's health issues. But
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: really I think it's Robin being stressed out about telling
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the family that she's pregnant again because Cody and her
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: are fucking a lot. They're hunching a lot, and I
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: think Mary has an announcement and Robin also has an announcement.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I know Robin's gonna say she's pregnant, but I can't remember.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: What Mary And now I could have cancer.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I'm worried. I went to the doctor and they did
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: a sea tea scan.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I have the I'm just gonna be saying that for
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the rest of the see this.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: The people are gonna think you're serious. People thought we
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: were serious when we can't making fun of the anthropologists
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and we kept calling them archaeologists. We got some comments
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: being like unctually it's anthropologists. We know, we know they're archaeologists,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: ding dongs. So people are gonna think you're miseducated because
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: you're saying age priory, but that's what it is, right.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: We'll see whatever in the upcoming episodes. I'm sorry if
