  Speaker 1: we would really appreciate it. And so thank you in advance. Thanks. Well,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: do you have a takeaway, Beatrice? Just be honest. I mean,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I feel like we can be honest in the dumpster.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: If anything, we don't try to be overly positive. We can.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to tell the truth about how we're feeling.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: About stuff well I'll try not to be super negative
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: right off the gate I'll just say that Ron's kind.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Of weird yeah He seems weird.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: He seems like he's not really into Mary, but Mary's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: like hoping for like a romantic connection.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: She seems totally spun out for him. She's so sprung.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Like our relationship could turn romantic, you know, eventually in
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the future, but we're just taking things slow.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Like dropping little sexual innuendos.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Ew, and he doesn't even get it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He's ignoring her. I'm cringing so hard. My takeaway is
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that I'm bored. I'm sorry, but I'm bored. I don't
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: want to say that. too loudly because I don't want
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to offend anybody. And I know we're trying to do
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: this season because we want to see if this format
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: can work. And these women, of course, we're rooting for
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: them because they were married to that absolute narcissist, that
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: malignant narcissist, Cody Brown. And then of course had to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: put up with Robin. And so we're rooting for them,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but this is so terribly boring. You would think, you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: would think they would come back like with this huge
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: opportunity to And maybe shake it up a little bit.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Try something different. But it's the same format, the same photographs,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the same flashbacks, the same storylines. And I'm just like,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: are we really going to go out this sad? I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: hope not. Maybe they can turn it around. But I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: feel like we're going out sad.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, these are the kinds of things that they have
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: on the show that we could just get from Instagram.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you know, like social media updates.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Like, that's great. You got an RV, Christine.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That's great that you're dating Janelle.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Woo. I'm glad Mary's going inner tubing, but what.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Else is there?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Is there nothing else? Honestly?
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Have you ever like read a book and you're just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like in your bed reading the book and you've read
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: like five pages and you realize, I didn't retain any
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That is exactly what I felt like. watching this episode,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I actually had to rewind a couple of times because
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the conversation was so uninspiring. I was, I was nodding off.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I was nodding off. And that's just my takeaway. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I hope it's something that can be turned around. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I do want to acknowledge that having the women come
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: together and maybe forge a new direction is a great
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: way to close out the series.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Ultimately, like good closure, some conversations, but I just, I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: don't know what we're doing here.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, for 45 minutes per episode, it's kind of boring.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Just a little bit. What do you guys think? If
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you love it, that's fine. But like, that's just how
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling right now. And that's me take away. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so without further ado, let's get into our recap of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Sister Wives season 21, episode two in Tatota.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Been there, done that. Indeed.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Have we ever.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So we start off where we left off last week
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: with the OG3 going through family photos and stuff like that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And Christine opens this segment by saying something to the camera, like,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not here to hang out. I'm not
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: here to chit chat. I'm not here to be friends.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: But then when we're there, she's immediately chit chatting. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: later she suggests doing a group RV trip and like
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: hanging out together and cooking recipes. So I don't know.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's a little weird to me, the way that we
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: opened this up and we opened it up with Mary too, saying,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know, she's got her walls up and she's guarded.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: She doesn't know what to expect. And But then when
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: we're sitting down going through photos.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Like it's fine.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It's not a big deal.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. The one thing I kind
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of took away from this scene was just how differently
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: all three women exist in themselves. Like Janelle is kind
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of lost in the crowd. She's not as loud as
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Christine or as bubbly as Christine. She's not as hard
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as Mary and direct as Mary. She's just kind of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like trying to figure out where she fits in. All
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of these women are so different. to each other. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: don't know how they would be friends going forward. It
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: actually felt a little uncomfortable to me. Like, I don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: know how I would feel if I had to sit
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: there with Mary in particular, but also Christine.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I'm Janelle.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm Janelle in this scene. I'm just like, oh, get.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Me out of here. Yeah. And like Christine's oddly really
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: sensitive too when we're going through some of the photos.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Like we show that you know, classic polygamist photo of
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Mary Janelle and Christine. And Christine immediately points out that
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it was like a hierarchy thing. And, you know, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: have Mary at the top and Christine at the bottom.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And she really didn't like that photo. It made her
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: feel a certain way. And Mary says, well, the reason
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: why you were at the bottom was because you were
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: heavy with child. So they had you sit down. It's
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: like not a big deal. I'm sorry that you feel
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: this way. And it's to your point of like how
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: differently they all act within themselves. It's like, yeah, Christine, it's,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it's just a photo and it's also part of your past.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I get why it would bring up some uncomfortable feelings
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: with her and stuff like that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Obviously she's not.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: She's not fully healed like Mary Brown with hashtag worthy.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Allegedly.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Allegedly.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Janelle's just sitting there like, can we be done?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Like I want to go home.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: This is clearly orchestrated by production. This is obviously something
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that they were asked to do for the show. Otherwise,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think these women would ever do anything like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this on their own.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I did think it was weird, though, that Christine said
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: she has no baby pictures of one of her daughters, Isabel. Like,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: she has absolutely none.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Is that the one she called ugly in her book?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Isabel? Yeah.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Isabel was an ugly baby.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: And then McKelty was too much.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, she didn't have any pictures of her ugly baby, Isabel.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, yikes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And Isabel is truly gorgeous.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Totally gorgeous.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: But I'm just like, man, Christine, what were you doing?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Were you high on opiates?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: She was taking care of everybody's children.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I get it, but that's just weird.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Not just her own kids. Everybody else's, too.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: That's just weird to me.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And Mary thought it was odd, too, because she's like,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I have a bunch of baby photos of your daughter.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: But OK, we'll go through it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Well, Mary kind of comes in salty. She's like, well,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I only have a few years because the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: entire family didn't want me to take photographs anymore. So
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I guess I didn't take photographs anymore.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, my God, calm down.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: She is a bit aggressive at some moments.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: It's not that serious.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Can't we just soften a little bit? Just a little bit.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: That's totally what it is.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Like Christine is super sensitive and Mary just takes everything
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: way too seriously.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Like calm down.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Just be like Janelle.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Be in the background.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: They can't.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And then we show like a baby photo of all
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of the kids in these like homemade outfits, which were
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: made from old curtains that they had in their Wyoming house.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And Christine's immediately criticizing it. And Mary, who I assume,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you know, helped making, helped made these outfits because she
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: made all of the kids' outfits is like, well, yeah, Christine,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: they're made out of booty ass curtains. Like it's not
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a big deal, but they have this cute little story
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of how they had the kids do some kind of
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: sound of music performance.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: And I thought that that was like a sweet little memory.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I grew up with all of my clothes, like handmade or,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you know, from secondhand thrift stores and stuff. So I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: thought it was kind of cute. Um, And then we
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: got to talking about sharing recipes. And then we were
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: talking about sharing kitchens. And of course, we had to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: show the flashback of Mary getting triggered about being called
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: abusive when she had.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: To share kitchens with the other wives.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Because, oh my God, you guys just took it too seriously.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to be mean. I think using the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: word abusive is really telling. And I know that Cody
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: used it, but. the other wives backed it up. I mean,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I would just love in these scenes and in these moments,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: if Mary's in a talking head for her to actually
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: specifically own some of that. Like, yeah, there were a
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: few times I did X, Y, and Z, and I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: can see how that would be perceived as being super
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: toxic and i'm actually really sorry for that we all
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: change obviously i'm in a different place but i get
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: why they feel that way and she did say but
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: she's so general when she admits that she was hard
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to live with that's all she said or that it
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: was hard to be with her but like why though
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Why was it hard to live with you? What are
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the exact things that you did that caused offense to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: someone else that you maybe want to make amends for?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: And the gag is she doesn't want to make amends
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for it because she doesn't actually care about Christine. She
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't actually care about Janelle. And I don't know if
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: she ever has.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And even when she brings up like, yeah, I don't
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: disagree that it was hard for me, you know, hard
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to live with me in the house, but it was
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: hard for everybody.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: And everybody else made it hard too.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: She always does that.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Always. It's got to take some of the smoke off
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: of her.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: She can't stand in her own... ish yeah i hate
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that about mary.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: It's really annoying and then christine made a comment i
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: don't know if people caught it but she's like i
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: will never ever be sharing a kitchen with you bitches
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: i mean with you ladies i did i was like
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: damn i wonder if janelle and mary heard that she
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: called them bitches which i thought was kind of funny
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: just a little bit and then we also had a
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: comment about cody and robin first we had you know
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the obligatory cody was a good dad and And it
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: came from Janelle again, who said, you know, Cody often
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: would consider the kids his soulmates, like he was a
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: really good and present father. But then we don't really
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: talk about how he devolved from that. Right.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: You don't take it far enough.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: We're just going to talk about how he was a
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: good father when they were kids. And we've already talked
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: about that like a million times. And you can see
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: from the photos and stuff like that and from some
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: of the kids and how they talked about their childhood.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Like Cody did seem like he was a good dad,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: but let's talk about how he isn't now and how
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: he doesn't talk to like literally any of them. Really?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And throughout the show, actually, like in earlier seasons when
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: they're having the family ceremony and he's yelling at all
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the kids in the picture or how he targets Garrison
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: seemingly like, and he doesn't, actually take care of truly
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: when she's sick. Like there's a lot of things we
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: can see throughout the seasons that would show that Cody
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: actually was disconnected very early on as far as I'm concerned.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So I just, I just hate this line, especially from
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Janelle who had a child, you know, who has passed
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: because of, I think there's a correlation directly to his
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: relationship to the man that you chose to stay with.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: And this is what I mean, like you're not going
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: far enough. You can say Cody was a great dad
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: when they were little, but then something happened. Well, what happened?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: How did it happen? Can we talk about these things?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm just going to be doing this all season
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: because they just, they're so... They just tiptoe around the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: actual issue. And it would be so great to tell
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and see those ratings go up. But these women aren't
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: going to do it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And this is my problem with the trajectory of this season.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Because if Cody and Robin are not here, what is
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: really stopping you from saying these things? Like it doesn't
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: make sense to me. And then, you know, Christine brings up.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: a quote unquote juicy bit. What do you guys think
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: about Cody and Robin no longer filming? And this would
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: have been a really good point here to have some
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: actual tea spilled.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And they were overly diplomatic.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: So diplomatic.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, Janelle says woohoo, which is great, I guess.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But then Mary's like.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I just didn't really think anything of it. I mean,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised, but like, whatever, they're doing
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: their own thing. And then Christine's like, yeah, I really
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: think that it's their way of really moving on from
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: us and like the show. And like, you know, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: totally get it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: That's all we're going to say?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Seriously? That's all we're going to say?
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: That's why I think this show has to die. Because
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: if you guys aren't even willing to tell the truth
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in these moments where it's just right in front of
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you and where everyone in the audience is salivating for it,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: then fuck y'all. Just put a fork in it. It's done.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: And then we talk about the apology tour again. And,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: you know, Mary says something like, I'm really glad that
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Robin didn't come.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: To Cody's apology tour.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Cause Christine's like, weren't you guys surprised that Robin didn't come? Because,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you know, I kind of thought that she should have.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: And Janelle and Mary are like, no.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Fuck that hoe.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Janelle's like, I would not have showed up. Yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have showed up at all. Mary does say
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: something that was kind of juicy where she says, you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: if Robin would have showed up, she would have just
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: done her whole interpretation of Cody's words. And I don't
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: want to hear that. I don't want to deal with that.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: So that like, that was okay. But again, can we
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: expand upon it?
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: No.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And it's not something that hasn't been said a few
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: times before. Exactly. Give us something new.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: It is the tiptoeing around the actual truth. And it's like, really,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: you guys would make so much money if you guys
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: were just actually salty birches. If you guys could actually- Do.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: A Colin Gosselin and release an actual tell-all book, I assume.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It's coming out tonight. Are you getting it? Did you
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: pre-order it?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't yet.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: In the Shadow of Eight by Colin Gosselin.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: We got to react to that to Patreon.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I know that he was on Jay Shetty's podcast and-
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: from the clips that I have seen, he is going
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in and I think he did an interview with good
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: morning America as well, where he is calling out Kate.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And that is what, that's the energy that this show needs.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Facts.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to throw that in there.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: No, that's exactly what we need for sister rides. I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: don't understand why we're not doing that. And then Christine
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: also asks like the last question about, you know, what
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: would you guys have done with your rings? And Mary's like,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just keeping it because it's worth something like money wise.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I have no, reason to keep it otherwise Janelle's like
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care Christine's like I don't know what to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: do with my ring and then Christine asks you know
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: what do you think would have happened if Cody would
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: have admitted to all of us that he was in
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: love with Robin and that Robin was the love of
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: his life and I thought it was interesting that both
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Janelle and Mary said they don't think Cody realized it
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: until way later whereas Christine thinks that he knew it
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: from the get-go once he got with Robin but again
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Is that all we're going to get? No, except all
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: we're going to get.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Well, and just for conversation sake, my first husband's wedding ring,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the engagement ring and the gold band that he gave me,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I pawned.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Did you really?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I pawned for like $ 400 back in the nineties or
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: something like that. It was a cheap little ring or whatever.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: We were young. My second husband's engagement ring and wedding
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: band i pawned did you really i totally pawned and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: i went out and i bought a laptop i bought
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: something for my child i bought electronics i bought all
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: this stuff yeah give me the money i mean for
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: real me the money for real but mary when you
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: say it's worth something it ain't worth a lot honey
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: maybe 50 bucks.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say i'm like it's cody brown we're
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: talking about like.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Right go get you the 50 bucks go to mcdonald's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: have a nice meal and call it a day.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe she thinks holding on to it will increase its
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: value somehow I mean, I guess she could sell it
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: and be like, this is Mary Brown's wedding ring to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Cody Brown. Maybe there's some value with her namesake. But
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: do it now before the show takes.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It is in the process of tanking, I dare say.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: And then we shift gears and we have Mary and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Ron going inner tubing. And this is where she makes
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that cringe ass sexual innuendo that Ron doesn't even get.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Does not acknowledge it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I think he heard it. But he did not acknowledge
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it and did not want to acknowledge it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: And then Mary brings that up and is like, what?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You're not going to hear me or give me a reaction?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: He's like, huh? What did you say?
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And she's just laughing.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. She laughs so hard.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: It's uncomfortable. I'm sweating a little bit from the secondhand embarrassment.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Stop it right now.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Mary.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, and Mary again is saying, you know, Their
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: relationship is just platonic right now, but it could be
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: romantic after another year or five when Ron is ready
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: for it or something. And then Ron says after their
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: inner tubing that it was kind of romantic. No, because
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: we had to hold hands and be close to each other.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: And Mary's just like, sure.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: And they're just awkward, dude.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: They are.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Like, it's not entertaining to watch.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I think Mary's awkward, actually. I think Mary is an
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: awkward person. When she was with the women, she was awkward.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: she makes the vibe awkward. And when she's with Ron,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: it's also awkward. I don't think he knows how to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: take her. I think her energy steamrolls his. I think
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: he's very passive.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's awkward too, but you're right. Mary
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: is kind of a try hard, like chill out girl.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: It's too much.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: It is too much.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: And then Christine and David want to show off their
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: new RV and then have some conversation about how she
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: had to learn how to be a monogamous. Hmm.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: The only thing that was kind.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Of interesting here was David saying, you know, when we
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: moved in together, you know, it was your house.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: It wasn't our house.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And Christine says Cody actually said the same thing to
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: her when they were together. And she was devastated to
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: hear this from both men because she didn't realize that
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: she was being controlling. She just thought that she was
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: getting shit done because things needed to get done.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: And I thought that was kind of like.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: An interesting insight to who Christine is. Because I don't
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: think she comes off as controlling in the same way
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: as like Mary does or as aggressive in that control.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: But I do think, you know, she's Mary, so she
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: is just kind of taking over everything and doing what
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: she wants to do. She does say like when her
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and David moved in, she didn't really ask him what
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: he wanted.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: She just provided him with choices.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Kind of goes back to how she was with Cody.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she had to do the same thing because
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: everything was decided by committee anyway.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the women did have their own spaces.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So Christine was created to kind of appreciate her home
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: life in that way. Like she was the one who
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: made the final decision. But it is interesting that Cody
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: had the same critique of her. And it is definitely
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: something to pay attention to because right after she says like, yeah,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't include him in the choices. I gave him
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the choices. And then she says immediately thereafter, I don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: know why, though, he feels like this isn't his home.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you just said the thing. That is
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the reason that he doesn't feel like he's participating in
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the building of your home, Christine.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I noticed that, too. I thought that was really interesting.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: And I just wonder if that's going to cause friction
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: between them in the long run, because we all know
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: they kind of rushed into their relationship to begin with,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: so they didn't get to really learn these quirks. or
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: get rid of them before actually getting married and moving
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: in together. So now David's just going to have to
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: deal with it. And David, let me remind y'all, is
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: a Capricorn. So he's going to be stubborn and butt
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: heads against Ares the Ram over here.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: There's something about Christine. I just feel like she is
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: always masking, like always masking and performing joy and frivolity
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and playfulness. but there is an undercurrent that is, that's
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: very dark to me and even depressive sometimes.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Like I can just see her feeling those things, especially,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you know, in the relationship she was in with Cody
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and the basement wife and all the things she had
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to endure. Like there was just this huge part of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: her that she had to tamp down that was suffering
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: for so long that I think is asking to be
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: witnessed and it's asking to come forth and it's maybe
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: showing itself through controlling behaviors or needing her environment to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: be just so and not really allowing space for David.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: But she is going to have to work on that
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: because David is not Cody. And this is not the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: house that she had with Cody. David's a different guy.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: He ain't gonna put up with it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: And I had said in a video a couple weeks ago, like,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you know, I thought David and Christine were manufacturing their
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: marital issues. But now I'm kind of like, maybe they aren't.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe they actually do have some issues. It'll be kind
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: of interesting to see what their therapy sessions are going
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to be like. I hope it's kind of like couples therapy.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I know it's not going to be with Dr. Orna,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: but like, I hope that the real issues do kind
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: of come out.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: But we'll see.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And then we have Mary and Ron going out to
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: eat dinner and have this like weird, awkward platonic date
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: where they talk about dating other people, other people, not
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: each other. But I kind of think that Ron's talking
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: about Mary here because Mary's Ron says, you know, he's
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: felt a lot of pressure to move really fast from
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: other people that he's been dating. And, you know, since
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: his divorce, he's developed some avoidant tendencies that have made
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: him kind of pulled back emotionally. And I'm kind of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: wondering if he's talking about Mary because they hang out
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: a lot. And Mary's saying to the camera a lot
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: that she hopes maybe one day their relationship will turn
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: romantic when it's ready. Yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm just like, are you the one that's putting pressure?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Also saying that she appreciates that he goes slow, that
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: he's laid back. And Mary says like, I'm laid back too.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, are you high right now? You were
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: not laid back at all.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: That made me laugh.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And then she says, well, maybe I'm high strung sometimes.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: But I am easygoing just like Ron.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're easygoing at all. What kills me, though,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: with guys, and especially it's so disheartening to see a
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: guy as old as fucking Ron, dude, who's like going
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to a speed dating event. We're going to date a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: bunch of people quickly to make these connections. So you're
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: going to a speed dating event, but you want to
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: take everything really slow. You want to get these women
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: on the hook so that they're interested in you, but
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: then you want to take your time and see them
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: at your leisure. Like, I hate guys like that. Mary
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: needs to dump him. And furthermore, I think he's gay.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: And furthermore, I think she's gay.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: And furthermore, I think that's what they talk about when
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: they go out.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: They talk about their interests.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Maybe this is like a lavender friendship.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: LGBTQ community they talk about.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Although Ron said he didn't want a divorce from his
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: last wife, so who knows?
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Well, he's so fucking passive, I bet. I mean, probably.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: And he's probably LDS Mormon, right? Have we established that?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I forget. I don't believe we have, but I would
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: imagine that he is. I'm assuming. But they're just weird, dude.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Like it's not interesting to me.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It's not like me hanging out with my husband.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: For real.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: The vibe is very stilted. It's very wooden. It's very uncertain.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's Mary. But Mary, you're finding this is
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: how the universe works. Nobody listens to me. If you
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: don't learn the lesson the first time, the universe keeps
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: presenting you with the same lesson and it gets louder
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and more obnoxious every time until you learn the lesson.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: And so Mary, you spent, I don't know, how many
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: years with Cody Brown? not listening to the thing he
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: said to you directly, which is that we are never,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: ever getting back together again. And yet you still believed
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and you still fought for it. And now you're away
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: from Cody and we all applaud you, but now you've
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: got this milquetoast, potentially gay man, Ron, that you're pursuing
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and that you've got the goo-goo eyes for. And he's
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: telling you, I want to take it slow. I am avoidant.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I feel pressure from women. I don't like it. Maya
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Angelou said, if somebody shows you who they are, believe
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: them the first time. This guy is showing you and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: all of us in the dumpster that he ain't into you, honey.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Move on.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I think she really likes him because she said he's tall,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: he's handsome, and he's a business owner specifically. She's a Capricorn,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: so she's looking for him. Securing the bag.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yes. Money, money.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: And her future because Cody was a broke down loser. Right. So,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can see why she has an interest
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: in him.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: He's a broken man.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: But he's like, and he's also just weird.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: He's a little odd. He's an odd duck and he's
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a broken man. His first wife killed him.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: For real?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He's not healed yet. For real? you're not healed either.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Well that's what killed me about her comment of like
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you know i'm totally easygoing too i'm like girl you're
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: not even self-aware if you can't even acknowledge that you're crazy.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Do you not remember yelling at him while he was
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: trying to make scrambled eggs at your charity event like
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you are not easygoing at all there's so much work
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that you have to do in yourself mary but like
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: there are these moments of clarity and throughout this episode
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: where she acknowledges i still have work to do yeah
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: like if we end in the preview if we can't
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: get this shit together to cook on zoom like we've
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: got we've got work to do and some healing to
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: get through um so she acknowledges a part of it
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: but i honestly think she doesn't see herself accurately because
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: she's not willing to own the shit that she's done.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Not at all and then the last bit of this
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: episode is janelle meeting with a matchmaker okay why is
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: her will why though Because TLC wants her to. She
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't even want to do this.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: And you can tell.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: You can so tell.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: She limps in there. I don't know what's going on
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: with her gait. I worry about Janelle. I don't mean
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: to be flippant, but I'm like, something's going on, honey.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Are you okay? But she walks in there and she's frowning.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: She does not look like she wants to be there.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: You can tell that she is just sick of this shit.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And she sits down with this beautiful woman who proceeds
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to encourage her. But like Janelle is checked out.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: And she's like asking her these typical questions that you
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: would expect to be asked from a matchmaker. Like, what's
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: your dream guy? And Janelle's like, I don't know.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't know. I don't want him.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: What do you want for your future? I don't know.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: The opposite of what I had.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: And then we get into a conversation a little bit
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: about her marriage to Cody, which I did think there
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: was some interesting comments here.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: Where she does talk about.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Her marriage to Cody was good for a while, but
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: then it became what she says, an attrition thing. And
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of interesting, like between the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: both of them, they were just like waiting for the
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: other to kind of.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Pull the plug.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: She does acknowledge what we've all been saying for several
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: years now, that the straw that broke the camel's back
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: was the way that Cody treated her kids. And she
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: was over that. And so that was part of the
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: reason why she decided to leave. And then Janelle also
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: says that her relationship with Cody was a lot of
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: work for her. So she wants a relationship that isn't
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of work. And I'm also like, newsflash, relationships
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: are work.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: They're going to all be work. But like a lot of,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: but I can, I can. I can dig that because
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I've been in a couple of relationships, you know, marriages
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: before this one, and there is just a sense of easiness.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Like life comes at you. You got to deal with shit.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: That's always going to happen and it's going to cause
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: friction sometimes, but there is a quality of connection that
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: you have with your person that makes it easier to
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: go through life together than with anybody else. And so
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's what she means.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I think so too.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And she also does dig at Cody a little
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: bit about how Cody was really focused on his looks
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: and his appearance, his outward appearance, specifically with the things
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: that he owned and his stupid Lexus cars and his
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: jewelry and his fuck ass hair. And she's like, I
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: just don't want to deal with another man who's as
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: obsessed with being a pretty boy as Cody. So I
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: kind of liked that a little bit, but we don't
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: really go anywhere with this matchmaker. It's not like, She's
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: getting set up with dates at the end of this.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: What was the point of this meeting?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I literally don't know.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm like also wondering, are you dating Pete at
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: this period in time or talking to him at the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: very least? And to that point of, you know, Janelle
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't want a relationship that's a lot of work. Maybe
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: this long distance thing with Pete is probably just what
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: she needs because she gets to have her independence and stuff.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: She also does confirm in this episode that she does
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: not want to give up her house. She's not going
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to be moving away.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: From her house.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: That made me feel good in my heart.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: And I did like that.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: She even says something like, he's going to have to
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: get his own place. Yeah. Like she doesn't even want
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the guy to move into his house, which is kind
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: of funny because right before we recorded, right before we recorded,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Dee was saying something like.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you why though. So my husband
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: comes home from Boston on Friday night. And so of
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: course I cleaned the whole house. I've got a little
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: charcuterie up charcuterie board ready for him. I got his
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: whiskey that he likes. I mean, I got it set
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: up for Papa and everything. He comes in. It's a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: great night and all that. You know what I mean?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: But what is it?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Monday?
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And my house was trash today. Trash today. With
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: all this bullshit. All of his bullshit, dude. I mean,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: he's got so much.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Man stuff it's so funny to me every time i
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: come over he's got everything spread out in the kitchen or.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: In the yard or in the yard it's just throughout
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: my i mean he does build fences he installs he
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't he makes salsa.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: He makes food press but he's just so anyway so
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: today it was trash So I cleaned up my whole
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: fucking house and you know what that means, right?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: And so I'm dusting, I'm vacuuming, I'm bleaching, I'm dishes,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I'm doing everything, I'm mopping. And then I'm getting out
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the steam cleaner that I do after the mop. So
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: then I, I test the floor with the rag and
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: there's no dirt on it because that's how I like it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And then I start to get ready for the podcast
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: tonight and I walk outside in the kitchen and there's
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: my big Frankenstein husband with all his fucking preps and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: his Mylar bags and all the red lentils that you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: could shake a stick at.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: And oats and everything.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And they're falling all over my fucking floor. And I'm like,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: And she literally says to me, she's like, maybe the
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: solution is that we just have separate houses.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds pretty good. I mean, we have
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: talked about separate bedrooms. Not that I don't want to
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: sleep with my husband. He's a sexy, handsome man, but
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: like he snores. Yeah. He snores. And I like to sleep.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: So I thought, what would life be like if we
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: had our own little snuggly bedrooms, which we don't have.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But I am expanding my horizons. What if we just
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: bought some property and he had a tiny little fucking house?
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, yeah.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Like Maddie and Janelle. He could be the Janelle, I
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: could be the Maddie with my house just the way
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I like it. Yep. Furthermore, we had such a huge
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: fight like two weeks ago. Oh my God. Over teaspoons.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Over teaspoons? Teaspoons. Because- I don't have, I have like
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: three teaspoons and I need my teaspoons. I use them
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to measure out for my fucking macros, girl. I've always
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: got hunger rage. I'm using my teaspoons and my tablespoons
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: for my macros. I use it for my baking. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: have only three though. Okay. And here comes my Frankenstein husband.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: He's like, I'm going to make a protein shake. So
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he takes my tablespoons and my teaspoons and he does
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: his powders and his cacao and all that. And I
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: never see my teaspoons again. And I'm a Taurus. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: that just means I like my space. I organize my kitchen.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I know where my shit is. It's meaningful to me.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I want to know that my tablespoons are there, right?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: And my teaspoons. So I go to make my fucking
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: tea in the morning, for which I need my tablespoon
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and my teaspoon.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: And where are they?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: They're not there. And I know it's not me. Do
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Well, duh.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Because the first thing he says, he does a Darbo thing.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: He's like, well, it wasn't me. Of course I didn't take...
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Why would I take a teaspoon? I'm like, I know...
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: as much as I know my own name, that it
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't me because I put it back every time because
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I value knowing where that shit is. And he's like,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: it wasn't me. So we had a girl. We had a,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: my reaction was disproportionate to the offense. I was just
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: so sick of his fucking shit. And then the next
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: day I'm looking in, I'm looking in the cacao bag
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: and there's a tablespoon. And then the next day I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: go outside where he fucking makes his salsa and he,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: he grills up all of his fucking tomatillos. And there's
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: my other teaspoon. And I'm just like, i could just
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: get another house and it would be great and we
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: could date sure walk down the path and come see
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: me at night every once in a while do you
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: know what i mean and then go home go home i.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Did see an episode of like a tiny house um
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: thing on hgtv and it was like a married couple
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: and they had their little tiny homes and they had
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: separate tiny homes but they were connected by like some
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: little bridge or whatever i love And it was because
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: they both had their own distinct styles. Like the wife
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: was like more bohemian and like.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: And she had like all of her little knickknacks or whatever.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: And she's like, I like my decorations the way I
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: like them. But her husband was like this ultra like
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: modern caveman, you know, has all the wood paneling in
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: his little tiny home and they didn't want to compromise.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was like kind of cute that
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: they had their own little spaces and stuff.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's great.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I feel like that'd be perfect.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: It would be perfect for me. But like, talk to
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: me about like, there's two people living in this three bedroom,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: two bedroom house.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: But it is stuffed to the fucking rafters with shit.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: And then at our house, we have a two-car garage
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: that's full.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Of his other stuff. Literally full to the brim.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: The first time I ever went over to his house
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: when we were dating, I called him a hoarder. And
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: it wasn't dirty and it wasn't like a hoarder house.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: He gets triggered by that. Like all of his nails
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and all of his screws and all of his wing
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: nuts and stuff. I'm just like, why does this need
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to be in a bedroom?
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: And his answer to that though, because I've called him
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: a hoarder too.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: He's like, no, I'm not a hoarder. All of my
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: stuff is useful.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: That's what they all say on hoarders. They're fucking pitching
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: their fits in the backyard when people are trying to
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: throw shit away. listen he's not a hoarder it's not
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: trash it's all it's all actually valuable stuff yeah like
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the amount of i mean i won't go into it
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: because then i'll be a target and somebody's gonna dox me.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: No but he's got a lot of good stuff.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: But i'm just saying can we now he wants to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: get a shipping container so he can put all his
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: shit in a shipping container when he already has your
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: two-car garage and he can put shit in.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he saying the shipping container was for us to
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: live on that he never gonna put.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: You in there that's for his shit Anyway, so I
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: got to clean my house again. What were we talking about?
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Janelle.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Janelle wanting a separate house from her man.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: She does not want a man in her house. And
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And I was actually very reassured to hear that she
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to move away from her house that she
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: literally just built on Maddie's property because that would be
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: the dumbest fucking decision ever known to mankind. Like, move
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: that man out to North Carolina, Janelle.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, if the dick is that good, he can
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: come to North Carolina. and then we get to the
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: preview where we have christine and david teaching truly how
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: to drive why do we need to see that i.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Don't know but i did like to see truly i
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: liked to see her face because i want to see
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: some kids yeah i don't want it just to be
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: about these three old heads i want to see some
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: of the little ones and how are they doing are
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: they in therapy.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: It seems like david's gonna get annoyed at truly for
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: driving and that's gonna trigger me man okay that's gonna
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: trigger me And then we have Mary hosting a birthday
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: party for her fuck-ass friends like we don't care.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: And she says her.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Future man better be celebrating her.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Better be celebrating her.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: And then Christine, Mary, and Janelle, instead of sharing kitchen
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: together and sharing recipes because they can't be arsed to
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: do that, they're going to host a Zoom call where
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: they cook in their own separate kitchens.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Pathetic.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Really? And share recipes that way. I'm just like, after
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: 30 years together?
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: That's wild to me. And Mary does make the comment,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: like you mentioned earlier, that if they are uncomfortable with
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: a Zoom call, then they got a lot of work
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: to do. And newsflash, they're probably going to be just
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: fine on a Zoom call.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but is this what it's going to be?
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Is this what we're watching.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: For this season? Are we going to be working out
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and reconciling relationships on fucking Zoom?
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with buffering and everything.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I am perplexed. I am uncertain as to what we
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: are going to be doing this season of the show.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, nobody, literally no one wants to watch a
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: show about y'all cooking and gardening. Although somebody, I guess,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: called on SpeakPipe and said they're really excited about it.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: And so I hate to shit on shows that people
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: are totally loving. I'm sorry, guys, because I am. taking
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: a big fucking dump on this show this show like
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: i don't get it i don't know what we're doing
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: i don't know where we're going um it's not sustainable
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: how about that i'll end and close with this is
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: not sustainable nobody's going to keep watching we will because
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: we have a mental illness in the dumpster and it's
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: our job but like most people don't they're watching traitors
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: honey they're watching love island they're watching the real housewives
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: of somewhere.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Else Well, and my point still stands that this is
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Sister Wives. It's not, you know, ex-Sister Wives. It's not
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: the Mary, Christine, and Janelle show. Like, we need some
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: content talking about Cody and Robin. Like, we need some tea.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: We need some updates on the kids' lives and what
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: they think about Cody and Robin and what their relationships
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: are like with Cody and Robin. Like, that makes for
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: compelling and interesting television. But watching a three-way Zoom call...
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: where you guys are cooking like dumplings and stuff and
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: sharing the recipe with each other. And I hope with us,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: if you're going to be doing this, like, I hope
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: you're going to be sharing the recipes on TV, but
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: if you're going to like gatekeep these because they're your
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: secret Mormon family recipes, then I'm just like, I don't.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Know what we're doing here.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't either, but I mean, we're hanging
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: on for dear life in the dumpster, hoping that, you know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: something interesting happens. Tell us what you guys think. I'm
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: so curious.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: How are you guys enjoying this? I think we said
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: last week that the ratings are probably going to be
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: high the first couple of episodes, two or three episodes.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: And then if this is what it is, it's going
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: to fall off. You're going to have people who love
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: this and want to watch this. But I think the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: majority of the audience. is going to peace out.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Tap out.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, can't take it.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: They're all thriving. I like that.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: They're living their lives away and out of Cody and
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Robin's grip and their control. And I think that that's
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: honestly fantastic. Like I'm not like mad at, That they're
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: doing this with their lives.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: It's just.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: If I'm going to be watching 45 minutes of an episode,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to really be wanting... some interesting conversation because
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: i woke up early to watch this shit you did
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: before my job because i'm dedicated yeah and i take
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: this shit seriously and i'm like literally falling asleep on
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: my couch like having to rewind shit yeah and i'm
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: taking notes for the episode and i'm just like what
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: am i even writing yeah i'm like looking through my
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: shit and i got all these spelling errors and stuff
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: because i'm just not.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Paying attention i feel like this the writing is on
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the wall here like this is Not moving in an
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: exciting direction. But again, if the whole premise of this
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: season is to just work out relationships between these ladies
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: and maybe some of the kids and then end on
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: season 21, go out with like some love, then.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind that.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Then we're here. We're here for it. And we're definitely
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: going to enjoy it somewhat. But if you think... You're
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: going to do a season 22 with more of this shit?
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: No way. We cannot. We cannot go on this way.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: No way. You will have to bring Cody back.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, for real.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: And his bitch ass wife, Robin. She gonna have to
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: come back too.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: With her stank face and her demons. For real. Otherwise,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: this is just a flopperino.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: But maybe we're too critical. Maybe we're the unpopular opinion.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe people love this shit.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Well, if you hop on Reddit, I don't think we're
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: the unpopular opinion. I think people are not getting it.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: And that's all I'll say about that. Well, is there
• 41:23
