113: Sister Wives - One On One Part 4 · Reality TV Cringe

0:10
Hello, and welcome to Reality TV Cringe, where we serve you all the
0:14
reality TV trash that is fit to eat. Oh yeah, I'm one of
0:19
your hosts, Celia, and I'm here with my Red at Homegirl and my
0:23
daughter in law Beatrice. How are you? Beat Hey? Everybody do with
0:28
today? I'm great, I'm not at work, It's awesome. I woke
0:32
up today to watch Sister Wives on Discovery Plus, which I pay a premium
0:37
for, and I believe they have increased their prices as well and touched.
0:40
To my surprise. In my horror, I found out that there was no
0:45
Sister Wives Part four episode on Discovery Plus, but it was uploaded on Max.
0:52
So I don't know why. I don't know if somebody fucking forgot to
0:55
upload it to Discovery Plus. But that was bullshit. People are talking about
0:59
it on Reddit because you texted me this morning asking me if it was on
1:02
there and I hadn't even chicked. Am I getting the de Lulu? Yeah?
1:04
Is it here? And I'm just not seeing it? Am I?
1:07
I don't understand? Yeah? Absolute bullshit? Why do we even pay for
1:12
Discovery Plus? Correct? And I'm curious though, Like at nine o'clock last
1:17
night for those particularly feral raccoons, who are waiting with their remotes to watch
1:22
it. Was it even on I don't think so, because I don't think
1:25
it was either, Like this is BS. I don't understand how these streaming
1:29
apps can't get their shit together. Why they keep fucking with Discovery Plus just
1:33
cancel the app then probably, I think we're gonna have to and we're gonna
1:37
have to go over to Max. But Max is not as good of an
1:38
app. I know I don't like it. I don't like it either,
1:42
but I don't like Discovery less either. I just just complain. Well,
1:46
I finally found it on me Max and I was able to watch it too.
1:49
The conclusion the part four one on one till Nothing, m hmmm,
1:55
where we finally got to meet David, I know, I kind of like
1:57

3:21
love to hear from you. Yes, who called? We got two callers.
3:24
Okay, so this one, let me make sure I got the right.
3:28
One is from genre. I'm sorry if I'm not pronouncing it that right,
3:32
but has a message for us about sister wise. I think, Okay,
3:38
hey, my fellow raccoons, just another raccoon in the dumpster searching for
3:43
some food, and it came across a huge piece of fish, and I
3:46
thought i'd share it with my friends. Here's an angle that I'm I'm pretty
3:52
sure most people haven't looked at. Here's a twist. Cody does not believe
3:59
a thing that we'll and says nor. Nor does he not acknowledge what she's
4:04
done. The problem is he's gotten a first row seat of how she treats
4:12
men who choose not to deal with her anymore, who choose not to put
4:15
up with her nonsense. Do we all remember how he sat back and watched
4:21
how she demolished her ex husband, the lies she told, how she pegged
4:28
him as an abuser. Do you recognize that she's starting to use similar language
4:32
to describe their relationship. How she is you know she doesn't recognize who he
4:39
is anymore? And all of this stuff. Cody has the fear of God
4:44
in him right now because he realizes he treated three women who had his back
4:48
no matter what, for someone who will sell him down the river for thirty
4:56
pieces of silver. Okay, let me go ahead and eat my fish.
5:00
See y'all later. I want some fish. What kind of fish? I'm
5:05
from Hawaii? We like the mahi mahi, yeah, and the ono and
5:09
the aku. But like, that's so interesting because one hundred percent Robin has
5:16
shown him what she is willing to do when she leaves a man. Yeah.
5:20
I think the question that I have is whether Cody actually believed everything Robin
5:27
was saying about Preston, her ex husband. Yeah. I mean, he
5:31
says he vetted her in his episode and he had to make sure that she
5:35
didn't leave a good man. So maybe he does believe that. You know,
5:41
according to Robin, he's this abusive piece of shit that she got away
5:45
from, and that very may well be true. I don't know. We
5:48
don't know much about Preston. We don't know anything about him. We know
5:51
he has leukemia, right, but that's it. Like that's all we know,
5:55
and we know that Robin hasn't told her kids about it. Well,
5:57
I think some of Preston's family have spoken out on a couple of different platforms.
6:03
For example, without a crystal ball, don't come at me, bro
6:06
I'm just saying I think some information has been shared about the fact that Preston
6:13
was not abusive, he was not a bad person, that he really felt
6:15
over a barrel at the time that he signed his rights away to his kids,
6:19
and in fact that it was Robin who was very problematic and who kept
6:24
them in the poorhouse with all of her overspending, which apparently she has a
6:28
long history of. So some of his family members are coming out and have
6:31
come out and said these things, you know, but they're always going to
6:34
be biased, of course, of course. But it is a very interesting
6:38
take to say that Cody may be scared of Robin, or like how she
6:44
will treat him after all of this stuff, or like if he denounces his
6:48
loyalty to her and his love to her in any any kind of way,
6:51
like if he said he loved Janelle or loved Christine or loved Mary, I
6:55
think Robin would take that personally and it would affect their relationship negatively. So
7:00
it's pretty interesting. I kind of like this take because it kind of sheds
7:03
a new light on like the dynamic between Cody and Robin, that it's not
7:06
like this perfect. It could be not this perfect relationship. Oh it's one
7:11
hundred percent not perfect. I think Robin has way more control than anybody is
7:15
letting on. And I just wonder if Cody knows that she's the neck that's
7:19
turning his head, or if he thinks it's all his brilliant idea, because
7:21
he is a narcissist and he probably thinks it's his idea. Probably. Yeah,
7:26
Okay, second message, we got one more message. Pull that up
7:30
here. It's from somebody named Meme, Emmy m E, but I don't
7:35
know if it's Meme or Mimi. Maybe it's me Me, so Hi mem
7:41
I just want you guys to know I love your show. At this rate,
7:46
I'll be a fan for Live. But I wanted to bring up a
7:48
situation about the stallion ring everybody's talking about. I forgot what episode it was,
7:57
but it was that when Mary divorced Cody, he said something to the
8:03
effect, we'll still be here. We're not going to go riding off into
8:07
the sunset. And I haven't heard anybody make that connection with that stallion ring
8:13
that replaced all their rings and the fact that he and Robin have basically stolen
8:22
everybody's money. That's all I have. I'd like to hear what you have
8:26
to say, like a symbol of their taking everything away or just running off
8:33
into the sunset together. They're still meats because their soulmates. See. I
8:37
think the horse represents freedom and independence and adventure. Yeah, when you kind
8:43
of get into spirit animals, which I'm a little wooz so I know about
8:48
that somewhat, but I don't know. It could be as vapid and as
8:52
materialistic as he saw a nice expensive ring and he wanted it and Robin wanted
8:56
it too, to go with her Rolex and his Rolex. But it would
9:00
also symbolize the fact that they're on their own and they're on this adventure together.
9:03
I mean, I could totally see that totally running free and wild with
9:07
their love freaking wild. Yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, But that's
9:11
an interesting, interesting take. What do you guys think out there? Don't
9:13
think no, that it symbolizes them running off into the future together. Is
9:18
anybody going to kick Cody off forse because that's what I want to see for
9:22
loook them off? Thank you? All right? Let's get into Sister Wives
9:26
season eighteen, episode eighteen, the one on one part for any major takeaway
9:31
for you with this last installment of the Taell Nottings, Well, it was
9:37
kind of heavy on the Christine and David stuff, which is fine. I
9:41
guess it's fine, but like we could have saved a lot of that for
9:45
the wedding specials that we're gonna get because I know those are just going to
9:48
be all Christine and David. I would have liked more questions to be asked
9:52
by Sukie. But I do kind of like David. Oh yeah, me
9:56
too. I think he's pretty cool. He's a breath of fresh air compared
9:58
to and I looked up his birthday because I wanted to know his zodiac.
10:03
Yes, I didn't get to see his full birth chart or anything, so
10:05
I don't know all of it. But he's born December twenty second, so
10:09
he's a Capricorn. But that's a Sagittarius capricornus a cuspy. It's a cuspy.
10:15
Yeah, So I thought that was kind of interesting because Cody's a Capricorn.
10:18
Cody is a Capricorn. Wow, interesting? Do we know it?
10:22
His moon and his rising I couldn't fire out. Okay, that's fine,
10:26
Yeah, okay. I don't really know much about Capricorns. That's like the
10:28
one zodiac sign. When somebody mentions it, I'm like, what I know?
10:33
He did? What a Capricorn is? I don't even know what the
10:35
symbol for their sign is. Oh my god? Really? Yeah, no,
10:37
I know nothing about it. But that's interesting. And she's an aires.
10:41
Yeah they does that go together? They can't mesh pretty well? Yeah,
10:46
I mean Capricorns are Earth signs, like very diplomatic, very like stoic
10:50
standard, Like my grandpa was a Capricorn, very stubborn. But my ex
10:54
girlfriend was a Capricorn and she was a big old bitch. Oh my interesting.
11:00
Yeah. Well, one of my takeaways is that I think it's going
11:05
to take a really long time for Cody to get over his betrayal and his
11:09
anger at Christine. Even in the preview for next week, when they're talking
11:13
about Christine's upcoming nuptials, it's going to be in a couple of days,
11:16
he's still trying to talk about an accusation that Christine made, and Robin's like,
11:22
no, all we're going to say is I hope that they're very happy,
11:24
Like he just seems really wounded by her decision to leave. And as
11:31
much as he goes on and on and on about how he never loved her
11:35
in the first place and he was never attracted to her, the fact of
11:37
the matter is is he is feeling that lost. And I hope he gets
11:41
some therapy. I know he fucking needs it. Dude with doctor Orna from
11:45
a couple HBO. Yeah, but she's ridden off into the sunset with her
11:50
soulmate. I just really feel like it bothers him. Oh, it totally
11:54
bothers him. It crushes his ego because I really don't think he was expecting
11:58
Christine to ever leave him ever. I think if Mary was the first to
12:01
leave, he would have been fine, Like he would have been like,
12:05
Okay, yeah, it's kind of run its course, go and live your
12:07
life whatever. I've used your money long enough, go ahead and be free.
12:11
And if Janelle and Christine had stayed and accepted that they could never be
12:16
loved by a man ever, and they can never be loved by Cody the
12:20
way that he loves Robin, he would have been fine. He'd have been
12:22
like, cool, this is like a good life. I'm a good man,
12:24
I'm living my godly purpose. It's all great, but when Christine left,
12:28
he was just absolutely fucking shaby destroyed knife in the kidneys. And I
12:33
mean, he's so dumb because he's saying in this episode, when she stops
12:37
talking about me and stops trash talking me to our kids, then I'll know
12:43
that she's actually in love with David. Well, let's turn that around on
12:46
you. When are you gonna stop talking about Christine? And what does it
12:50
actually mean that you're still going on and on and on about her? Does
12:54
that mean you're still in love with her? Because that's what I'm inferring.
12:56
It kind of feels that way because all he does, and he thinks that
13:01
by her being honest about what their relationship was, which was that Cody was
13:05
not attracted to her, Cody didn't love her. That's trash talking to him.
13:09
And it's like, but you're literally admitting all of these things, my
13:11
dude, you're literally saying it on TV. I was never in love with
13:13
her. I was never attracted to her, and that was my fault.
13:16
And she's a shit sister wife and all of the trash talking you're doing,
13:20
I know. And then he can't make the fucking connection. It's so unbelievably
13:24
frustrating because, like I keep saying the last couple episodes, he's so close
13:28
yet so far from like actual accountability, taking actual accountability for what he's done.
13:33
I think to take actual accountability requires that you sit in the fullness of
13:39
what it is that your actions have wrought. Yes, And I think when
13:43
you were talking about such a huge family, so many kids, so many
13:48
emotional connections, to sit in the fullness of that pain is probably so overwhelming,
13:54
and like it's gonna take therapy, it's gonna take analytics, it's going
13:58
to take a lot for you to be able to do that. But until
14:01
you do, this is who you're going to be is just reacting and blaming
14:05
and shirking responsibility. Yeah, it's really and a terrible life getting perms,
14:11
I know, and fillers and fillers. Why God, he's so concerned with
14:16
how he looks. I mean, yeah, I've got to keep these absent
14:18
because I'm competing with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Momoa or Gerard Butler. I'm like,
14:22
okay, mister old man, how tall is this man? I think
14:26
he's like five ten or yeah, I looked it up on uh Google,
14:31
googed it and it says five eleven, And I'm calling mad bullshit on that.
14:35
He strikes me as no more than five nine. Yeah, like wearing
14:39
those little prince lips. So he's a little bit taller, but he just
14:41
seems to Maybe it's his attitude and the way he conducts himself, but he
14:46
seems like a small, miserable goblin of a man. Oh, totally.
14:50
I can't believe he's five eleven. I know, I don't believe it.
14:54
Everything you say is a lie. A right, let's get into this episode.
14:58
Sorry, all right. We star with some of the OG wives saying,
15:01
yes, Christine's so happy and she's never been loved like this before.
15:03
I'm bored. Then we moved to the flashback at Salsaprava Yes, when,
15:09
of course Cody is trying to talk about how terrible it was when I had
15:13
COVID. I don't think you got it. I almost died. My temperature
15:18
was nine in that point. Nah. I was thinking about going to the
15:22
hospital, but I didn't because I didn't want to and I was just so
15:26
sick. I could have gotten a vaccine. Uh, I could have done
15:28
some preventative measures. But no, here I am having COVID and Christine's laughing
15:33
at him. I mean I was laughing at him too, Like I was
15:37
laughing at when this whole scene aired during this season, I'm like, this
15:39
is great. He's such a fucking drama queen. He is so dramatic,
15:45
and he's doing this to play on to the fact that this is why he
15:48
couldn't be around his family, right because COVID was so dangerous and scary and
15:52
he didn't want to be around it. Blah blah blah blah. That's why
15:54
he's putting on this performance and not to negate the seriousness of COVID or anything
16:00
like that. But we all know that Robin and Cody were not that's sick.
16:03
Like they were sick, but they were fine. Yeah, I mean
16:08
died. I rocked COVID twice. Yeah, I was terribly ill. Were
16:14
but like, you're not supposed to go to the doctor or the hospital unless
16:18
it is really, really, really bad. And I guess Robin did go
16:19
to an er clinic like we have on every corner of every street throughout America,
16:26
and they sent her home, and they sent her home. But like
16:27
drama drama, drama. Yeah, he just he wants to be centered at
16:32
all times. His feelings, his emotions, his perceptions need to be centered.
16:36
And of course, during the flashback, we see Christine laughing at him,
16:40
and he's watching the same flashback, and he comments to Suki that,
16:44
you know, Christine takes great joy in his suffering and this was just evidence
16:48
of that. And then you know what, Christine confirms it. Yeah,
16:52
she does. She's like, yeah, I wanted to be one of a
16:55
Disney princess. Yeah. She's like, I just kind of want to be
16:59
myself, and that also means being a little bitchy. And I'm like,
17:02
you know what, at least you own up to it, Like, at
17:03
least she's not like putting on this air of like no I care. No,
17:07
She's like, I don't give a fuck, right, yeah, And
17:11
of course you're squirming because I'm gone, yeah, and I'm just gonna sit
17:14
here living my best life and it's going to piss you off so much.
17:17
And I love to see it. We all love to see Christine. Cody
17:21
interestingly also says to Suki that she that he does not blame Christine for everything,
17:26
and he blames himself more because he never loved her. Yeah, okay,
17:33
okay, shut up, just stop it with that. You never loved
17:36
her, but you had sixteen children with her. You never loved her,
17:40
but you were with her for twenty five years, well out of obligation,
17:44
like out of religious obligation. Okay, I think that's what it is.
17:47
Like After this episode, I'm like, yeah, maybe you didn't love her,
17:49
and that's fine to like admit it, but then she's allowed to quote
17:53
talk shit about your guys' relationship and just be honest with her kids, who
17:57
all saw it that you didn't love mom, you weren't attracted to her.
18:02
Like when we get to the David and Christine stuff like that was really sad.
18:04
Christine talking about her relationship with Cody and how he just didn't want to
18:07
be affectionate with her, Like Cody's a piece of shit. And this is
18:11
what I mean by he's so close yet so far, because he can sit
18:14
there and say the sentence it's all my fault that my family is broken up
18:18
because I married a woman I didn't love and then spin it around and make
18:22
Christine to be the bad guy, Like what the fuck, dude, you're
18:26
right there. Yeah, just admit it, like that's your fucking problem.
18:30
You didn't love these women that you got married to out of religious obligation.
18:33
You found your fucking wife, you found your soulmate with Robin for some reason,
18:37
and you didn't want to let anybody go. No, he loved the
18:41
first three wives very much. I think he loved Christine. I think he
18:45
loved Mary. I think he loved Janelle. It wasn't until he met Robin
18:49
and then a strong preference came forward that he then stopped being intimate with his
18:56
wives. I don't know about Janelle. Sounds like again, they were still
18:57
having a sexual relationship trip well into all of the seasons we've been watching.
19:03
But I think he loved them, and it wasn't until Robin came along that
19:06
he stopped. Why why would he stop because he preferred her? If we
19:11
write she was break dancing, she was a diesel gene model. But I
19:15
mean, based on how he talks about it, like he was weeping after
19:18
he connected with her because he was just so overwhelmed by how much he felt
19:25
for her. So maybe he never knew what love could be being married to
19:30
those three women. But you could have to come a little harder to make
19:33
me believe you didn't love these women. I absolutely think that he did.
19:37
I mean, he probably loved them in some capacity. I just don't know
19:41
like if he ever really could have been everything that they needed, because it
19:45
sounded like from Christine in their relationship like he wasn't into her from the get
19:48
go, So maybe there is some truth to him being like, yeah,
19:52
I was not attracted to her from the very beginning, I was repulsed by
19:56
her. Convenient lie right now to justify his awful behavior toward her, which
20:00
is also borderline abusive, Well, oh yeah, but he's been saying he's
20:03
not attracted to her since like earlier seasons, like when Robin came into the
20:08
family. There's like a lost tell all that's going around on TikTok and stuff
20:12
from like I think, I don't know, season eight or something like that.
20:18
It's a tell all with some chick from CBS, and you can't find
20:22
it on Discovery Plus or HBO Max or anything like that because they've kind of
20:26
scrubbed it. But in the tell all, he's like talking about how he
20:29
was repulsed from by Christine from the very beginning of their relationship, so he's
20:33
been saying this for you. He was also talking about how he was he
20:36
got the ick factor from Robin as well, because she was a divorce aying,
20:40
yeah, so well, what is a line, what's true? That's
20:41
true? Thing, I believe he left Christine. Moving on, now we
20:45
get to the subject of Robin really wanting plural marriage. Of course, Christine
20:48
continues to maintain that she doesn't want plural marriage, she really never has wanted
20:55
plural marriage. And then they bop on over to Cody, who's like,
20:56
well, Christine doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about. She doesn't know
21:00
who Robin is. In fact, she was a shit sister wife, keeps
21:06
saying. And then he's like, which makes which means she'll probably be a
21:08
good wife to David Woolly, And like, what do you what do you
21:11
mean? What are you connecting here? What are the dots that you're trying
21:15
to connect? So she was a shit sister wife, which means she'll be
21:18
a great wife to David Woolly. And like, she was a shit sister
21:22
wife because she didn't accept Robin or she didn't want you to be with Robin
21:26
all the time, Like, I don't know what your rationale is for her
21:30
being a shit sister wife. I think it's because he thinks that Christine hated
21:33
Robin and blamed her. I think it's because Chris because Robin didn't like Christine.
21:40
And I think there was a lot of manufactured drama between Christine and Robin
21:44
on Robin's part, And so he's spending most of his time with Robin and
21:48
he's hearing about her views of Christine and adopting them for himself. It makes
21:53
her Also, what is it what kind of a narc? Is it compensating
21:56
or enabling? Enabling? I don't know, yes, or some a nark
22:00
to just have him think that it's his actual feelings for Christine. I don't
22:06
think so. All right, then we get to Cody talking about whether he
22:11
would try plural marriage again, and of course he's like, you know,
22:15
I don't think I could, because then I would have to tell that woman
22:18
that I love Robin. She's the woman that I love above all else,
22:22
and it's never going to change. Crazy. So again, admitting that she's
22:26
your favorite and that you loved her the most? Was it hard? Was
22:30
that so hard to just admit? Right? But he still can't make that
22:33
connection. I can't walking in future tens, and you can't see how that
22:36
would apply past tense. Ye, how all of the other wives felt that,
22:40
Yeah, and he can't validate any of their feelings because it's just because
22:42
they didn't like Robin. Right. It's like, no, dude, you're
22:45
right there. You favorited Robin. You keep saying that. Right. Suki
22:52
asks Robin whether she can be happy with just Cody, and this is where
22:57
we get this display of no tears and grabbing her own box of Kleenex,
23:03
which I noticed, by the way, because I think normally Sukie would take
23:06
the box and hand it to her, like, let me help you,
23:07
sister, But no, Sukie's just sitting there, so she has to reach
23:11
over get the kleenex, dab at her eyes, which are waterless, truly
23:15
waterless. And ultimately she feels like she can't be okay with just her and
23:22
Cody because it's disrespectful to her commitment, disrespectful to the kids, and ultimately
23:27
disrespectful to the other wives. How did we feel about that? I'm so
23:33
conflicted because I'm like, why do you need the other wives to approve of
23:37
you being happy with Cody? Like, why do you need them to tell
23:41
you that you never needed it before when they were super unhappy with things exactly.
23:45
And I'm like, part of me is also like, yeah, it
23:48
is kind of disrespectful to the rest of the wives and the kids because you
23:52
are a homewrecker and you stole their man, their dad and their money and
23:56
their money. And she I think this is the part where she was like,
24:00
I don't know how it's going to work, like with just Cody and
24:03
I And I was thinking, what do you mean financially, I don't know
24:07
how it's gonna work. It's been physically just you too for years and you
24:12
guys aren't working. You're not working, You're not doing and she is not
24:15
gonna be working anytime in the future either. A secret. No, he's
24:19
not doing shit. Like some of the articles online about Cody and Robin refer
24:23
to him as a businessman, I'm like, what are you talking about,
24:26
will Is He is not a businessman. What business does this man have the
24:30
business of stealing money from women? That's his business. Don't you remember Fundamental
24:33
Fitness, their little gin that they were going to make, which they never
24:37
opened. I also remember how they were going to be real estate agents and
24:41
or brokers that never happened either business. Well, what did you think about
24:45
all of this ship with Robert, Like what's her end game with all of
24:48
this? Like what why do you think she's like a victim? That's it
24:52
to look like she wants to be aligned with the other wives and she doesn't
24:57
want to disrespect them with taking any responsibility that she has already disrespected them.
25:04
She's already stolen time from these women and experiences between the kids and their father.
25:10
She's already done this. But for her to say it like, oh,
25:14
I don't want to disrespect them now, hopefully we'll have some sympathy for
25:17
her because she must really care about them. No, she doesn't. And
25:19
Suki even says, well, they want you to be happy though. They
25:22
all want you and Cody to go forward and be happy and live your joyful
25:26
life. And this is where Robin's like, well until they tell me off
25:30
camera, I can't believe it, which just kind of proves the whole idea
25:36
that she wanted Gabe and Garrison to come up to her and apologize for everything
25:41
in the family, like her saying oh, I never wanted that. No,
25:45
you are that type of person obviously, because you want three grown women
25:48
who have left their husband because he only wants to be with you to then
25:52
come back to you right and say, hey, it's totally okay that you
25:56
broke up her entire family and that you stole her away and made us feel
26:00
like fat pieces of shit because we were married to him and he wasn't attracted
26:04
to us. Stretched happy, Yeah, like she wants that. She wants
26:10
them to validate it and make her feel like she wasn't at fault at all.
26:12
Right, Well, and this is all just a big performance, and
26:17
these ogs are not going to be coming back to bend the knee and make
26:21
you feel better about the shit that you did to this family. If anybody
26:25
should be making somebody else feel better, Robin and Cody, it's you two.
26:29
Yep. But you can't and you won't. No. Next we meet
26:32
David. Yeah, he's out on the couch. It's next to Christine,
26:36
and we kind of learn some of his backstory, part of which is that
26:40
he was married to a woman for twenty years and that she passed away.
26:45
I think eleven years ago or maybe twelve years by now, she passed away,
26:51
and I think she unlived herself. Really, I think she unlive devastating.
26:56
I think that you guys could correct me if I'm wrong. I think
26:59
shelved herself. So after this happened, he did try dating. He dated
27:06
some women, but then he's like, yeah, I'm not for this life,
27:08
and so he stopped until Christine. Yeah. So I guess he saw
27:12
her on some app and he was gonna swipe left, which what is left
27:18
mean? Oh no, it's left. So he was gonna say no,
27:22
but then he didn't. He swiped right, and then he says she stalked
27:26
him. Yeah, she was persistent, yeah, which is really sweet.
27:30
And then they went out on a first date. Well he recognized her though,
27:33
Yeah he did. She thought he was going to get catfished or no,
27:36
his kids thought he was getting cats right, Chris right, which is
27:40
pretty cool. And he's got a million kids and a million grandkids, children
27:45
and grandkids which is awesome and really values his family, really values his children.
27:51
I'm skipping ahead a little, but he does say that when he was
27:53
dating, like, his priority was his kids. And he was saying this
27:56
in the context of whether he has empathy for and pretty much the answers no.
28:02
He's like, because when I was dating, like if somebody tried to
28:03
tell me what I needed to do with my own kids or my time around
28:07
my kids, it would be like a hard pass. Absolutely not. So
28:11
he doesn't really understand why Cody has done all of this to all of his
28:15
children, which I thought was very interesting, very based. So yeah,
28:18
but he did recognize her. And I had been reading in some of the
28:21
comments that were getting on YouTube that he actually has two sisters who are in
28:26
polygamist marriages. Oh, I'm wondering if they're au B. Guys. I
28:30
may have been forgetting some of the details on this, but they might be
28:33
AUB. So they knew who Christine was. Oh wow, So he also
28:38
has some familiarity with the whole system. Yeah, which makes it probably more
28:44
comfortable for her probably. And I was actually talking to Ethel about this,
28:47
and she was saying, I think David's actually still Mormon. She's like,
28:51
he's either still Mormon or like four more Mormon or whatever, because she was
28:55
laughing about this tenet in Mormonism where like when you're spiritually married, if like
29:00
spouse dies or whatever, there's no way for you to really like break up
29:03
that spiritual marriage. So he's still technically spiritually married. Okay, so she
29:06
was laughing about it because Christine's gonna end up being a polygamist wife and Mormon
29:11
and Mormon. Heaven. That's interesting that he would be a practicing Mormon or
29:17
still Mormon, just because you see them drinking a lot, Like we're going
29:19
to see that at the receptions. Christine's given him a lap dance. I
29:23
think people are parting, which I think is great. I mean, I
29:26
love that for them, But it's interesting. I found him to be.
29:30
I found him to be a nice person. Yeah, very soft spoken.
29:34
Yeah, not up to like start some drama or get confrontational. I think
29:38
it would be hard to get him confrontational or in a conflict with Cody,
29:42
but I do think he would step to it if necessary, totally. And
29:48
I kind of liked how he was being kind of careful and thoughtful with his
29:51
words because he doesn't want to have any drama, like especially for Christine's sake.
29:55
He's like, they're just being very careful with what they're saying, but
30:00
it's still pissing Cody off. Oh yeah, which is just so great,
30:03
right. I just love that Cody's just getting fucking triggered by everything that they
30:06
say, and still getting reactive like, well, I'm a good guy though,
30:10
right, I don't want you to talk shit. I'm a good guy.
30:11
Okay, Okay, nobody's saying anything. Well, but you're showing us
30:15
who you are, and so that's what's going on. It's really not what
30:18
Christina is saying. And actually, in the next scene, we do the
30:21
flashback of Christine sitting at the table with her kids talking about her dating journey,
30:26
and of course this is where Tony's like, well you really want to
30:29
sample all of the ice cream flavors, put yourself out there, get some
30:33
experiences. Gross. But in this particular scene, in this particular scene,
30:37
she's talking about how she knew Cody was not attracted to her. We see
30:41
Michelty saying I don't understand that you are gorgeous and just talking about being insecure
30:47
and having self esteem issues because of this constant rejection from Cody. And then
30:52
we see Cody watching that flashback as well. Yeah, so after the flashback
31:00
we go to Christine or Cody. First, let's start with Christine. Christine
31:03
essentially says, well, I think it's important that I demonstrate to my children,
31:08
like how to get out of a bad situation and create new things in
31:12
your life, like you don't have to stay in a miserable, fucking marriage.
31:18
And then we get to Cody. Mm hmm. I can't remember what
31:21
he said because I was so fucking blacked out mad because he's just like not
31:26
acknowledging how Christine really felt like in their marriage. Like he's saying all of
31:30
this shit on Dvie and he's been saying it for years that he was repulsed
31:33
by her and not attracted to her at all, and then still again is
31:37
like turning it around on Christine and he's like, well, but she's talking
31:40
shit to me to my kids, and mc kelty shouldn't be saying all these
31:44
things. She's That's what he was saying, right, she's taking sides to
31:47
for Christine in this whole situation because Christine's talking bad about me, and it's
31:51
like she's just being honest about what your guys' relationship was, yeah, which
31:55
is that you were a piece of shit and not attracted her at all.
31:57
You probably fucked her out of obligation, and that's what I think. I'm
32:00
just like, I don't know how much he really loved her, if he
32:02
wasn't attracted to her, and if he made her feel like this through the
32:06
entirety of their marriage, I'm just like, how which can Christine keeps saying
32:12
that it was her own kids that came up to her and brought up like
32:15
you shouldn't be treated like this in this relationship, like Mom, you could
32:17
do better. You should maybe consider getting a divorce, you know, which
32:22
I believe because they have two eyes and they can see and maybe they even
32:24
watch the show and they can hear what their father is saying. Cody's observation
32:29
is like, this is an example of kind of the insidious stuff that Christine
32:34
does. It's really subtle, it's low key, but she's got all the
32:37
kids there and she's spinning me in a bad light, dude, And I
32:43
could sort of see and we've seen it this season, like when they had
32:47
Gabe and Garrison over. I forget was it easter or something, And you
32:52
know, she starts to orchestrate conversations about how they're doing and you know,
32:58
let's talk about this, but she tries to do it in a way where
33:00
like she's hiding her hand mm hmm, and she's just inspiring them to have
33:06
conversations. I do feel like that's a bit manipulative. I don't know in
33:09
this particular flashback whether I think she was being manipulative. Yeah, but I
33:15
mean for a narcissist, I can see how any criticism whatsoever would be harmful
33:21
totally. And I mean we can make the argument too whether or not it's
33:23
appropriate for Christine to even be having these kinds of conversations with her children.
33:28
I mean, that's her, that's their dad, right, It's like it's
33:30
they don't need to be involved in the intimacies of your guys's marriage or like
33:34
what happened, what didn't happen, how you felt about it, Like you
33:37
can just be like, look, we were not meant for each other,
33:39
Like he did not treat me well. He is probably a good husband to
33:44
Robin. It's your guys' dad. You guys have the relationship with him.
33:46
It's whatever, Like I'm gonna go bang my man over here and I'll be
33:50
fine, right, Like so we can make that argument, and I do
33:52
kind of agree. There's there are those moments with Christine that it's like,
33:57
Okay, should you really be talking to your kids about that? Probably not
34:00
was truly at the table that time. I don't know if she was.
34:02
I feel like Truly was at the table, sitting next to Isabelle see,
34:07
and that's not okay. And that's the thing, and I don't remember.
34:09
I don't recollect one hundred percent, so please do correct me if I'm wrong,
34:14
But I think she was sitting there at least for a period of time.
34:16
And I'm like, oh, I really wouldn't be saying all of that
34:20
in front of Truly. I mean, the other kids are adults, and
34:23
maybe it's a little better, but I can kind of see Cody's point.
34:27
But at the same time, Cody, you can't rail invective at your wives
34:32
on television. These are the mothers of your children. You can't say any
34:37
kind of shit about them and then expect the kids and the wives to not
34:43
say anything. Right, But I was supposed to pretend you didn't say all
34:45
that shit. Yeah, in season X, Y, and Z, right,
34:47
It'd be one thing if you were objectively not that bad of a person.
34:52
We could see like, oh, Christine talking bad about you to make
34:54
you look bad, but you're terrible, Like you've been saying this bullshit for
34:59
like the last several years on TV. In front of everybody, like your
35:02
kids can see this shit, right, your kids can go back and watch
35:07
the footage and there's there was nothing subtle about it. No, you've been
35:09
an asshole and an abusive person about it. And you want to get mad
35:14
because Michelty's telling Christine she's gorgeous and they're all encouraging her to put herself out
35:19
there and start a new life, like, come on, demented, he's
35:22
a demented person. After that, we talk about Christine having been worried about
35:29
like kissing because Cody was the only boy man boy she ever she ever kissed.
35:37
And then we have David saying she's great. She's a great kisser.
35:39
I love her bubbliness, I love her quirkiness, and she also when we
35:46
get to the Machiavellian part right where Cody still maintains that Christine is orchestrating a
35:52
lot of this drama and this flashback may or may not be something that he
35:55
would point to to prove that, David counters that with she's the le conniving
36:00
person that I know, I mean, clueless maybe, yeah, well dumb
36:04
maybe, but she's not Machiavelli and she's not out here trying to manipulate situations.
36:08
In fact, he called her drama free. I believe that honestly.
36:13
Yeah, really, I think aries people like fire signed people are just kind
36:16
of like direct, They're gonna tell you how they feel, They're gonna feel
36:21
really big, like it's just one of those things. Doesn't necessarily mean they're
36:24
dramalicious. I don't think she's drama licious. I think she is performative,
36:30
like kind of dramatic and how she expresses her feelings. But I don't think
36:32
that that's inherently like something she uses in a toxic way, right. I
36:38
don't think she's manipulating her kids against their dad. I think their kids have
36:43
eyes and brains. I think she could be a little bit Cody sucks,
36:45
though, but yeah, Cody objectively sucks. So I'm just like, I
36:49
think both things can be true at the same time. I don't think I
36:52
don't think Christine is poisonous about it, but I do think she's got her
36:55
hands in the pot in that regard. Yeah, but in this conversation,
37:00
that's where Cody says something whack like, yeah, you know, I can
37:02
just envision David and I having a conversation in like ten years where he just
37:07
leans over to me and he's like this is nuts, isn't it? And
37:10
I would tell him, look, man, you can't talk about your wife
37:14
this way, because you know guys bros. Bros love to talk up and
37:16
complain like you do, Cody, Like you complain about all your wives and
37:21
your ex wives to your bros. But I'm just like, in what fan
37:23
to see land are you currently existing? Where're gonna have some conversation with a
37:29
man who truly loves the woman you tossed away and start talking shit about Christine?
37:34
You dumb? I call him it just nothing. I'm just like it.
37:39
Don't want to be too mean, but like, how do you think
37:42
Like he sees himself as being the center of attention for David Woolley in the
37:47
future, when David comes to him the great priest of the family, Cody
37:52
Brown to talk about how shitty it is to be married to Christine. Yeah,
37:57
guy, Like what the fuck? Like what a piece of fucking shit,
38:00
dude. And this is why I'm like, you don't fucking love her
38:01
if you're talking about all of this shit like or maybe he does. Maybe
38:05
he's just so fucking childish. I think he's so jealous. He's just so
38:08
pissed off that she's get in your backplone out. Yeah. I just think
38:12
he's jealous about all of it, about the money, about how she moved
38:15
on so quickly, how she found a seemingly quality person. I think he
38:21
loves her. I think he is really pissed off about the loss of control
38:25
over her. And yeah, but he still sees himself as the center of
38:30
her situation, even ten years from now in a fictional universe and some Mormon
38:35
celestial reality, which is just so crazy. And this just speaks to how
38:37
you said earlier about like how he treated how Cody treated Christine, and how
38:42
it was like borderline abusive. This is abusive verbiage to be like, oh,
38:46
Christine's such a piece of shit, such a terrible, awful person that
38:50
her new husband, Yeah, he might love her now, but in ten
38:52
years him and I are gonna grab a beer and we'll talk shit about her
38:55
because she's so terrible, and I'll be like, yeah, you're right,
39:00
right, hah. I know what a piece of garbage dude, this man
39:02
is. I would like one of my many ex husbands to try and call
39:07
up my husband now and talk mad shit about me and see how well that
39:10
goes for them, much less to be in his personal presence and try to
39:14
do that. No, absolutely not, Cody. That's something you would do.
39:17
You would talk shit about your wives, because you already do to your
39:21
other wives and to your bros. But that's not something most men of integrity
39:24
would actually do do. But you wouldn't know that. Yeah, not at
39:28
all. Okay, now we get to the portion of the episode where Cody
39:35
starts bloviating onward about for David's sake, Christine has to paint Cody out as
39:44
a bad person and continuously trash Cody. Otherwise that would mean David would be
39:50
committing himself to a woman who left a good man, honey, Like,
39:54
what is your fucking logic, my guynistic piece of shit, a piece of
39:59
garbage. You're set dementia? Like, what does it mean when you have
40:04
a personality disorder where you cannot see yourself clearly as everybody else can see what's
40:08
going on with you? Are you living in a mirrored parallel universe where only
40:12
you exist? I don't understand? And does Robin? Is she this delusional
40:16
too? To like be able to stoke your fire like this and and praise
40:21
you in this way, like are you both this fucking delusional? Both of
40:24
them because Robin, I think, believes him when he says this. I
40:29
think Cody's delusional and Robin's the one orchestrating it making him believe it. Honestly,
40:34
That's what I wow, dude, I just couldn't believe that he even
40:36
said shit like that, and then said, oh, I had to vet
40:38
Robin extensively to make sure she didn't leave a good man. So if she
40:42
left a good man, would you not have married her? Because I don't
40:45
believe that you were driving down every weekend to go fuck your brains out right
40:49
while you were still married to everybody, I think he would have married.
40:52
I think this is just another performance or performative statement to make himself look like
40:57
he has dignity, but he does not. Yes, he does bring up
41:00
how he had to vet Robin hard to make sure she was worthy to be
41:05
integrated into his family, which he was barely supporting as it is, and
41:08
definitely not being fair and good to his wives at the time. So Robin
41:13
really wanted to be a part of that family, but he had to make
41:15
sure. I guess that she was actually leaving a bad man. Okay,
41:20
so you believed her perspective on everything, and then that's why you adopted her
41:23
kids. And I don't know, but can't. Sorry, I know I'm
41:28
crazy, but can't conceive of a world where maybe Christine was leaving a bad
41:31
man, and maybe you were a bad man to Christine, and maybe you
41:35
were a really bad man to marry, maybe you were a bad person to
41:38
Janelle. It can't even begin to consider how that might be possible the way
41:43
they see it, because he can't consider that of himself because he's so fucking
41:46
deluded. Well, because he suffered in the marriage with Christine for all of
41:51
these years. I suffered, knife and the kidneys. This betrayal that you
41:54
left me because I wasted my life with you and I suffered, was said,
42:00
knife and the kidneys. I wasted my life with you. How dare
42:05
you leave me? Why couldn't you've just stuck it out to the end and
42:07
we could have been miserable together? Like that's his fucking logic. Yeah,
42:12
I don't get it, dude. I don't either. I think he's crazy,
42:15
is But what was really interesting in this particular section is he's going off
42:21
in this fucking conspiracy theory, Like, yeah, she's got to paint me
42:23
in a certain way. Otherwise, why would David ever want her? And
42:27
Sukei's like, honestly, they don't think about you like that. Like I'm
42:30
all, David seems really gracious. He seems to understand that, like she's
42:35
a divorced woman. He's meeting her where she is right now in her life's
42:37
journey. Doesn't seem to have any toxic fucking feelings for you. He doesn't
42:42
need to spin this fucking poisonous yarn in order to exist. Yeah, like
42:45
you do. Cody heads up well, and even in the Salsa Brava flashback
42:50
when it shows Christine's talking head to Cody of her being like, I don't
42:54
think he realizes I don't think about him at all, Like I literally do
42:58
not care. He thinks that I think about him all the time. Could
43:00
you see his face? Yeah, dude, he was like affected by that.
43:04
He kind of took a little bit of a breath and closed his eyes
43:07
a little bit. That pissed him off. But that's the truth, Cody,
43:10
Like nobody cares, even Mary. Mary's like, I don't have any
43:14
concern for your well being, like, I hope you're happy, but like
43:17
deuces right, So what better revenge is there? When all you do twenty
43:22
four to seven night and day is think upon and ruminate upon this person who
43:29
you think betrayed you, that's all you can do. Is fueling all of
43:31
your anger. It's causing you to implode all of your other relationships, only
43:36
to learn that she don't think about you at all. In fact, I
43:39
wish you well, I hope you're happy. Bye, Oh my god.
43:42
Best revenge ever is to live? Oh good? Well? Yes, So
43:46
David's impression of Cody again. He says he's emotional, he wears his heart
43:52
on his sleeve. Is there a heart in there? He wears his vitriol
43:54
and his sleeve. He's expressive, meaning he fucking won't shut up about all
43:59
of his narc injuries. And he basically he does a whole lot. Cody
44:02
Brown does a whole lot. And he doesn't really have empathy for Cody because
44:07
in his world, my kids come first. Yeah, and so if I
44:12
had a fourth wife enter the family, He's not saying all this, I
44:15
am just extrapolating, But if I had a fourth wife come into the family,
44:19
and she wanted all of my time to the detriment of all of my
44:22
beloved children. I'd be like, absolutely not, there's no way you're going
44:24
to get me to do that. So I don't have compassion for Cody because
44:29
I don't understand how a person could do this. Yes, And I think
44:31
he also says, like, I don't understand Cody and how he dealt with
44:36
Christine or treated Christine, because to me, she's the whole package. She
44:38
got it all, she got that bang and booty, she's got a beautiful
44:42
smile. I think she's great. She's to me, she communicates with me.
44:45
She's like in my previous marriage, we didn't have a lot of communication.
44:49
Yes, So I love her viey vibe, I love her energy,
44:55
bo and I just can't understand. And I think he also says this about
45:00
Christine, like when I came into Christine's life, like she just wanted all
45:05
of this intimacy, like the touching and the kissing and all this stuff,
45:07
and I could tell she wasn't getting that, like David says that. And
45:12
I've felt so hard for Christine because how hard would it be to be in
45:16
a marriage for twenty seven years with someone who doesn't want to just go out
45:21
on a date and make out with you, Like she said, it's like
45:22
I just wanted to go out and make out with Cody, and Cody's like,
45:25
no, it's not. Yeah, that's fucking fucked up. And then
45:29
Cody being like, well, she's just pitting me as a bad guy.
45:31
Well, but if you isn't the truth though, I mean, if you
45:35
couldn't kiss her, if you didn't want to fuck her unless you were making
45:37
a baby, and then you could just not deal with her for nine months,
45:39
Like that's the kind of person I think Cody was in their marriage.
45:44
And I just feel really bad for Christine because she dealt with that for way
45:46
too long. And I feel really happy for her now because she has a
45:50
man who appreciates her exactly as she is. In fact, all those little
45:52
things that used to bother the fuck out of Cody and or Robin probably really
45:57
Robin. Yeah, David loves them. Yes, makes his life happy.
46:00
He's so happy. He's such a nice guy. He seems like a nice
46:02
person. And so then we get to the proposal. Yeah, and we
46:07
learn that he and some friends to Christine out somewhere in Moab, which is
46:12
in Utah. And yes, he went up to a cliff and I guess
46:15
he I don't know if he got down on one knee as he told me
46:19
that, oh okay, goodness, got down on one knee and he said
46:22
something like, this is my favorite place in the world, and you are
46:25
my favorite person in the world, Christine, will you marry me? His
46:29
friend was filming. Christine was like, oh my yes, yes a million
46:34
times. Yes, such a romantic she's a romantic person. Yes, so
46:38
it sounds like it was beautiful for her. Yes. And as much as
46:42
I've been cringing the last couple of episodes with Christine and how performative, it
46:45
is a little bit that she's talking about her first love and everything this episode.
46:50
I'm like, Okay, I'm happy for you. Yes, you're a
46:52
little much and that's okay. It's okay to be a little much, but
46:55
you're not too much for David and he loves you, and I think that's
46:59
great. And I hope you guys are having mad sex. Yes, and
47:04
get it in beat the box. Then Suki asks, how will this wedding
47:10
be different for Christine and for me? It really feels like this is the
47:15
point of like deep hurt for her because like, was it her mother who
47:19
threw together this terrible looking wedding dress from when she married? It was a
47:22
terrible looking wedding dress that she basically wore attention to her wedding, you know.
47:27
And again they didn't have a honeymoon like Robin did. I think they
47:30
went on a road trip to Wyoming or something. And it was a really
47:32
fast sort of a situation. And so for this wedding, she is going
47:38
to walk down an aisle. She is going to have both of her moms
47:43
there. Her father hopefully will be able to walk her down the aisle,
47:46
and if not, then her son will, which is Peyden. Which makes
47:51
me wonder did the father walk her down the aisle? Do we know?
47:53
I don't know. I guess we'll see in the well. I wonder if
47:57
it was Peyden who ultimately did it. Which is why maybe Gwen Christine's child
48:02
didn't go because of the beef between Payt and what. We've talked about this
48:07
before. We don't have to go over it again. But maybe that's one
48:08
of the reasons why. She also says that she invited Cody's siblings. Yeah,
48:15
and also Cody's mother, because she's been knowing these people for thirty years
48:20
and she loved them. They were close, and I wonder like who went
48:22
and who didn't? I know, I hope we get to see that dude.
48:28
That would be so crazy. Yeah. Do you think he would have
48:30
been so pissed? Yeah? Yeah, I think so. It would have
48:34
been like, not maybe as bad as Janelle being Christine's friend, but it's
48:38
along the same vein as that. Oh, he would be super upset.
48:43
God. Then Suki asks, well, what about Mary? I know,
48:46
and she says, I don't think I'm gonna invite her. I don't think
48:50
she'll be invited. My gut is telling me no. Why do you think
48:52
that is? Maybe because there's underlying tension with them, Because when she announced
48:58
to the family that she was going to be leaving, Mary sat there with
49:01
a stone ass face in full and high judgment of Christine. She left with
49:06
Cody and Robin. She was being a supreme bitch about it. Yeah,
49:09
she was super judgy, and that is why she's not going to be invited
49:14
to the wedding. And you know what, Mary can dig it. She's
49:15
like, look, I do not expect an invitation but at the same time,
49:20
I wouldn't want to come if there was anything awkward between us, if
49:23
there would be some kind of conflict, Like I don't want to do that
49:25
on her wedding day. I want her to be happy. I want her
49:29
to have a beautiful day. So I'm like, Okay, that's very enlightened
49:31
and mature. Mary. I agree. I liked her response to that,
49:35
like she wasn't super but hurt about it. And then Christine talks about how
49:37
she invited Leon and Audrey, which I thought was great, and they ended
49:40
up coming and they wore the colors yes, which are the other cute,
49:45
So I think that's good. And yeah, maybe Mary and Christine are talking
49:50
nowadays, like maybe they're mending things because Mary's finally left, and maybe she's
49:53
like, hey, you were right, bitch. I don't think Michelty would
49:58
let Christine do that. I think christ Yeah, I think Michelte is holding
50:01
a big grudge against Mary, and I don't think she would be okay with
50:06
Christine talking to her, which is a little wild to me. Like daughter,
50:10
I guess making everybody else have relationships based on how she feels about My
50:15
boundary needs to extend to you so that you do what I want you to
50:19
do. That's not how boundaries work. But we end this episode was kind
50:22
of the dumbest slash weirdest question of all which is everybody's celebrity crushes. And
50:30
we learn that Janelle, my Torrian sister, has a crush on Gerard Butler
50:35
specifically Leonidas. I'm just gonna guess it's gotta be same though, and Jason
50:40
Momoa specifically called drobo those Jason Momoa with the mamba and from oh my God,
50:47
Game of Thrones, Yes, much so handsome. So I align with
50:52
Janelle. Oh yeah, of everybody that was mentioned, I'm on Janelle's team.
50:55
Then we hear Mary likes I'll write, I'll writ all right, Matthew
51:00
McConaughey, which he's my celebrity crush. He's got some swag. Yes,
51:04
so my physical type. But also Mary made a point to say somebody tall,
51:07
please not another short, asked napoleonic motherfucking goblin, thanks and advanced Jesus.
51:14
I think that also translates to somebody with a big dick, though,
51:15
because you know, with the height comes the inches girling pencils. She wants,
51:22
let me see what a big man's life. You lie on me.
51:25
I feel that that's what I want in my life. Thank you. I
51:30
feel like I paid for it. We get to Cody and he says that
51:35
Robin's first of all, he asked for forgiveness for outing Robin, and I'm
51:38
like, shut up. Nobody stops speaking right now. But he does say
51:43
that Robin's celebrity crush is Ryan Reynolds Snooze, super boring, super boring.
51:49
That's like having a crush on Jimmy Stewart from It's a Wonderful Life, which,
51:52
by the way, I did have a crush on Jimmy Stewart. And
51:57
then Cody said his celebrity crush is so Fia Loreen. He went to see
52:01
some men from La Mancha or something I don't know movie when he was six
52:05
years old and he knew he was straight. Honey, why did he have
52:08
to say that? Exactly girl? I was thinking exactly gay comments, flamboyant
52:14
gay. We thought he was flaming, buoyantly gay in high school. What
52:19
if what if all of these women were just his beards? You know that
52:24
term? Yeah, yeah, course beards. If y'all don't know in the
52:27
gay community, I'll explain as a resident lesbian beards are it's a gay men
52:34
term for men who are in straight relationships with a woman. That's their beard
52:39
hiding behind like hiding their their homosexuality. Okay, so what is so Caun't
52:45
lesbians have beards? Yeah, okay, so that's what that means kind of,
52:49
but it's more a gay male term, right, yeah, because game,
52:52
I don't know, girl, I don't know. I can see a
52:54
world or beards. I can see a world where he was overcompensating because he's
53:00
just a flaming homosexual. How are you going to have nineteen thousand children with
53:05
women if you are a homostie? You broke Back Mountains? Did you hear?
53:12
Did you watch Brokerack Mountain? I watched parts of it, but I
53:14
just knew I was gonna have such a hard feeling. I saw some of
53:19
it, but they're like the whole point and I know it's possibly like to
53:22
have four wives. I'm just vaginas impregnating all these people, like I mean,
53:28
maybe it's sexual. It's okay to be but all of it's okay.
53:31
Of course, everything's okay. But listen, there was a series on TLC
53:36
back around this time. When Sister Wives came out, I can't remember the
53:38
name of it. It was about Mormon men who acknowledged their homosexuality, but
53:45
they were married to women because in Mormonism, they're like, yeah, it's
53:47
fine if you admit that you have homosexual tendencies, just don't ever act upon
53:52
them and still be in a straight marriage. Okay. So I'm just saying,
53:55
what if in this Mormon culture he was brought up to believe, like,
54:00
no, you gotta still be straight. So he's like, Okay,
54:02
I'm gonna get four women and prove to the world a heterosexual. I proved
54:07
to my dad, improved to my dad Wynn Brown. It's a big ol'd
54:12
ranch. I guess if there was an ex pose that came out that said,
54:15
Cody Brown, you know, had bisexual or homosexual relationships, I wouldn't
54:20
be that surprised. I would want to know everything. I would want to
54:23
want to everything. But I just thought it was weird that he felt the
54:28
need to say that. Maybe it's not weird, Maybe it's just me.
54:31
I don't know. I got the same vibe. I mean, sophiil A
54:35
Wren that was my father's crush too. Really just thought she was so voluptuous,
54:38
beautiful. That's very pretty. You could have curves and it was okay,
54:43
and everything she had nice little like waist lit small waist, big hips,
54:47
big boobies. Yeah, my daddy thought that was hot. Wow.
54:51
So that was interesting. How we ended it, well, actually we ended
54:54
it with Christine saying, look, y'all, you've seen me for the last
54:58
thirteen years I've been on sund You've seen me at the lowest points in my
55:02
life. But you're about to see the highest ones, which is the best
55:07
ones. Yeah, and so we're going to get a lot of that,
55:09
I'm sure. Yeah. So we are going to head into I guess the
55:14
wedding special so still to come. We see Christine preparing for her wedding.
55:20
We see Janelle saying that the fact that David and Christine are openly affectionate soothes
55:27
the wound that Cody inflicted. I loved that. Yeah, Janelle is so
55:31
freaking aware, she is. She she sees it that me too, so
55:37
sweet. We see Caleb and Hunter and we see Maddie crying saying that she
55:42
loves him so much, which I think means David. I think, why
55:45
would she love him so much? Doesn't know him. Well, could be
55:49
Cody. I don't know, I doubt. I don't know if Maddy has
55:52
a relationship with Really she doesn't currently so, I mean, in fact,
55:57
Janelle said this season like she's got kids. She doesn't need to have toxic
56:00
bad grandpa around all of our kids. So they don't really speak. Yeah,
56:05
we see Christine presumably giving David a lap dance at the reception, dirty
56:14
feel you're so honey. We also see the scene where Cody's like, yes,
56:17
we know that they're getting married in a few days, and then he
56:21
starts to bring up some sort of an accusation that Christine made because he's still
56:24
upset. He's upset life in the Guineas. And Robin's like, mmmm,
56:30
all we're gonna say is we're so happy for them. We just that's all,
56:34
aren't we just happy for them? Like shut up, Cody, can
56:37
you ever just shut up? Yike? And finally we see Christine walking down
56:40
the aisle in that beautiful vista with the mountains and there's a lake and it's
56:45
like so pretty. What a dream wedding, Christine. I'm happy for I'm
56:50
happy for her as well. The comment by Robin to Cody. I was
56:54
watching it with your daughter, my wife. She was like, I wonder
56:59
if this means that Robin's getting fed up with him, like getting tired of
57:02
him constantly griping on and on and on and on about this marriage that broke
57:07
up and Christine leaving, when he's been saying, probably to Robin that he
57:13
doesn't give a shit about Christine all these years. Like, I wonder if
57:15
she's getting tired of it. I don't know. We see many instances of
57:20
her actually cutting him off and telling him what to say or redirecting him,
57:23
so it seems like in keeping with what she normally does. But you have
57:27
to imagine if he's so willing to say this shit on camera, he's got
57:30
to be talking all the time about it behind the scenes. And if I
57:32
were like the only wife standing and I'm like trying to love you and all
57:37
you do is keep talking about this bitch I hate anyway, we would have
57:39
a problem. Yeah, like, shut the fuck up, my guy.
57:44
So that'll be interesting to see. I'm looking forward to it. I don't
57:46
now, are the scenes that we just saw from the wedding special or is
57:52
that some of this stuff we're going to be seeing. Do you think in
57:53
the next three strange episodes. I don't know, because strange episode you said
57:59
the XT episodes are going to be like looking back, talking back and back,
58:04
and then where are they now like that prying that much attention to it?
58:07
Maybe it'll be bonus footage, Like maybe we'll get bonus footage. I
58:10
think the first one they're actually going to field questions from social media, like
58:15
and I think they're saying, like uncomfy questions, hard questions. Why didn't
58:21
they ask us I'd have so many questions, so many questions, now why
58:23
did nobody reach out? Well, so I'm actually looking forward to that because
58:27
maybe production is actually reading what some of us are saying online or listening to
58:31
some of these podcasts in which we're screaming into the void. It'd be so
58:36
great, Cody. And also the way that production is doing things that maybe
58:39
they're trying to compensate for some of us losing our fucking minds online. I
58:44
don't know. One can only hope dare to dream. Yeah, So that
58:47
was good. Yeah to rest the final tell nothing. Yes, And by
58:52
the way, my apologies to Sukanya. Actually I don't know. I feel
58:55
like I like her. I feel like she's a good judy, she's a
58:58
good friend. I feel like I liked it. I could see where she
59:02
was going with it. My suspicion is that last year when she did the
59:08
tell all and she got railed, railed ghost by the viewers and the audience.
59:14
I feel like she came into this very much finessing and massaging, but
59:20
also with a bit more intention to I don't know about get Cody to say
59:24
stuff, but to show the way things really are. Yes, I agree.
59:28
Especially this last episode, you could see it more about her calling Cody
59:31
out and being like, no, this is actually how they feel, this
59:35
is actually what they're all saying, So shut the fuck up when you're weird.
59:37
Really Okay, that's great. Yes, So I do appreciate Suki's comeback
59:43
after last year's bullsh Yeah, because I was not happy to hear she was
59:46
doing it again. No, I don't think any of us were. Yeah,
59:49
she did a pretty good job. Yeah, she did a pretty pretty
59:52
good job. Well, is there anything else that we want to say about
59:54
this season, which we've now got under our belt? I mean, pretty
59:58
interesting season, good at the beginning, and then it was just repeated bullshit
1:00:05
hopefully season nineteen will be new stuff. Hopefully. Let's we're gonna see the
1:00:10
last bits of all of this crap. They just I mean, they've kind
1:00:15
of been doing this all along, so I'm not expecting anything super different.
1:00:20
Let me tell you. I am here to just see where the chips fall,
1:00:23
how that cookie crumbles. I want to see what's going on. Because,
1:00:27
of course, you know, there was that news report that came out
1:00:29
last week or something that Cody on the eleventh of December twenty twenty three had
1:00:34
applied for some sort of some kind of a permit. I don't think it
1:00:38
was for renovation or construction, but like to do things in his home.
1:00:43
For example, they wanted to get they needed to get a new water heater,
1:00:46
they needed to repair their heated driveway, and one other thing. So
1:00:50
super but now nothing like, oh, we're doing an addition or we're putting
1:00:53
in a courtyard. However, was I was thinking to myself, hmm,
1:00:59
I wonder if that means they're trying to fix up the house for sale.
1:01:05
Dude, that would be so great, because haven't we been hearing some rumblings
1:01:08
and stuff of them needing to move out of flag Staff because it's getting too
1:01:13
expensive. I mean flag Staff when I was living in Phoenix a few years
1:01:17
ago, I mean, all of Arizona is so fucking expensive, and now
1:01:22
it's just even worse. I can't even imagine what the cost of living is
1:01:23
like in flag Staff. Any of you raccoons that live out there, I'm
1:01:27
sure with Cody and Robbins bick mansion, you think they can afford the property
1:01:30
taxes and shit on that, with no idea, with three wives gone,
1:01:34
I think they're probably panicking. And we were able to see that some of
1:01:37
the home was a little bit dilapidated, like the patio or the porch or
1:01:42
whatever, and so maybe they're doing fundamental repairs that they can at some point
1:01:45
put that home up. And then where are they gonna go? Honey,
1:01:49
where are they're gonna move to? Are they gonna downsize? What about all
1:01:52
those kids? You won't let gocas you're a helicopter rob even even day in
1:01:57
the RV in the backyard, Like where you gonna put all the kids?
1:02:00
Yeah? How are they going to be adults now? Like you've not prepared
1:02:04
them for any life experience because they've been living under your wing this entire time,
1:02:08
yes, and I'm just always counting the coin. So they purchased that
1:02:10
home for eight ninety K, which is nine hundred rounded up. Yeah,
1:02:14
and we know that Janelle gave I think one hundred and twenty. I think
1:02:16
Mary gave about as much, so almost maybe two seventy five. So nine
1:02:22
hundred thousand minus two seventy five are we at like six twenty five ish?
1:02:25
So that's maybe your mortgage, which means you're paying about six thousand dollars a
1:02:30
month, give or take, depending on when you took that loan out,
1:02:31
maybe seven thousand dollars a month. But you've got equity now, but maybe
1:02:36
you had to take out loans against that equity, because there are the rumors
1:02:38
that Janelle asked for her one hundred and twenty thousand dollars back dollars back,
1:02:43
which I would love to see on season nineteen. That's the kind of shit
1:02:45
I'd love to see. I'd love it's the coin. Maybe Mary did the
1:02:49
same thing, because Mary is striking me as awfully litigious and willing to spill
1:02:53
the beans. So maybe Mary hears that Janelle did and she wants her money
1:02:58
back too, And so now they're taking loan out. That's why they have
1:03:00
to sell because if they pulled money from the equity and they've only got maybe
1:03:05
I don't know, five hundred thousand, four hundred thousand left, Oh my
1:03:08
god, you're gonna have to sell. Go somewhere else, somewhere cheaper.
1:03:12
Go back to what are you going to do in this fucking economy now?
1:03:15
With eight percent mortgagees seven percent or whatever it is now, Like, what
1:03:20
are you gonna do? Well, if you if you have five hundred thousand,
1:03:22
you can pull from equity, you can roll that into a new house.
1:03:24
But it ain't gonna be a McMansion, No it ain't. It's gonna
1:03:27
be a three bedroom, two bath or one and a half bath like the
1:03:30
rest of us are living out here in these raccoon streets. Oh my god,
1:03:34
you're gonna have to downside. So season nineteen that we could focus on
1:03:37
that, I would love that. That would be the only scenario where I
1:03:40
would love to see Cody and Robin on a Season nineteen like I don't give
1:03:44
a shit otherwise about their life, or they're done, get the fuck out
1:03:47
like nobody cares. But I would love to see you guys have to move
1:03:51
or am I just like, how are you gonna How are you gonna These
1:03:53
women aren't giving you their money, so what are you gonna do? And
1:03:57
then there was a post spy without a crystal ball, don't come out,
1:04:00
don't come out of don't come at me, bro, But she's talking about
1:04:03
having insider information. There is a neighbor in Cody's gated community who has spilled
1:04:10
some beans about Cody. Apparently he yells at kids to get off his lawn.
1:04:15
He's known in the neighborhood as being very angry, very mean, doesn't
1:04:20
talk to anybody. Yes, whoa like a very bad neighbor that nobody actually
1:04:26
likes, Like in fact, you don't represent the flagstaff vibe and you ought
1:04:30
to get yourself on and get out of here. They don't like him.
1:04:34
Allegedly just a rumor. So you got no friends, you got no other
1:04:39
wives to take advantage of, you got no money. What are you gonna
1:04:43
do? They're gonna have to sell some of their artwork, some of their
1:04:45
rings. Ragsy Village, I mean they were They said it was all investments,
1:04:50
so that's why they bought all that money. Coyote Pass. Maybe Janelle's
1:04:55
the last one. Standing with her four or five acre plot of land on
1:04:59
Coty Pass. Maybe she keeps it. Maybe she's like, I don't know,
1:05:01
girl, I'm gonna buy myself out. Y'all pay your plots. That
1:05:04
sounds like a great season nineteen to me. If the production company could just
1:05:08
start telling the truth a little bit, that would be fasstick. Give it
1:05:12
to me, well Racco's this has been such a fun journey. Yes,
1:05:15
it was a good season. It was a fine season. We made it
1:05:19

1:05:31
