  What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done.
• 0:13
  Goodbye. You shut it off.
• 0:17
  Do not twist my words. Do not make me a victim.
• 0:20
  Sweetie, Just look at the mountain.
• 0:22
  That's what you saw that day. Just the knife in the kidneys
• 0:27
  over all these years and the sacrifices that I made to love
• 0:32
  you. Take a journey with us if you
• 0:49
  will, back to beautiful Lehi, UT.
• 0:54
  We are not taking a covered wagon, we're taking Discovery
• 0:57
  Plus, although Kimber does have dysentery.
• 1:02
  You're real bad. That's still in place from them
• 1:03
  loose soul rolls last week. Those loose rolls and the.
• 1:07
  Loose gave me dysentery. Gave me dysentery.
• 1:09
  Oh, we can easily blame that on Chanel.
• 1:12
  They talk about poop so much on this podcast I can't stand it.
• 1:16
  Poop happens everybody. Season 4, episode 8 of Sister
• 1:22
  Wives. The episode is called No Place
• 1:25
  Like Home. No place like home.
• 1:27
  When this episode starts I have to say for anyone who hasn't
• 1:31
  seen the show, they usually give
• 1:35
  they do the tag lines in the intro and this teaser for this
• 1:38
  episode was so ridiculous. Wacky.
• 1:42
  Crazy. We have Leon yelling about
• 1:45
  Hunter and they don't give us any details because it's just
• 1:48
  the, you know, coming up on. But like my Lanta, it was
• 1:52
  intense. Liana's pierced.
• 1:55
  Very upset. And then it's funny because it's
• 1:57
  like, Oh my God. And then it's like, and Meri's,
• 2:01
  like I, whatever my tagline is, I don't even remember Meri's
• 2:04
  because I just get so distracted
• 2:08
  destiny. Destiny.
• 2:10
  Destiny. Destiny.
• 2:11
  Oh God. The episode officially starts
• 2:15
  with Logan, Leon, Maddie and Hunter on the couch, and they're
• 2:23
  Spring break. They're going to go home, see
• 2:26
  friends and family and of course, the old house.
• 2:30
  The split level compound, the extra.
• 2:32
  Character that comes up repeatedly in the show.
• 2:36
  That magical place. Where America's dreams started.
• 2:40
  And where many children were
• 2:43
  abirthed. Yeah, maybe even in the house,
• 2:46
  like in those four walls, perhaps the house that built
• 2:49
  them. Quite literally, Yeah.
• 2:52
  Oh, God, yes. From conception to birth and
• 2:55
  then beyond. Kody says that he hopes this
• 2:59
  doesn't upset them, that the kids do not get upset by this
• 3:02
  visit back, which is so lovely
• 3:06
  his children. Do you think it was real?
• 3:08
  Do you think is going to happen?
• 3:10
  My God, Sir. Of all the things to be
• 3:13
  concerned about, it's like, oh God.
• 3:15
  Right after that, Janelle has a clip where she's talking about
• 3:24
  Along the trail. Yes, all along this dysentery
• 3:28
  trail. So she's OK letting them take
• 3:30
  the trip without a parent, which is wonderful because, you know,
• 3:33
  literally Logan's a senior in high school, so I'm pretty sure
• 3:36
  he can drive a few hours. But, you know, never say never.
• 3:39
  They could get in some trouble.
• 3:40
  They could, they could. They could get a snake bite
• 3:43
  along the way. What were the other things on
• 3:46
  the Oregon Trail? Oh, honey, that's so far, you
• 3:51
  know, before my time. I'm very, very young.
• 3:54
  After we get this overview from the parents, Kody summarizes
• 3:57
  their decision to move to Vegas.
• 3:59
  You know, a bit of a flashback that there is the investigation
• 4:03
  and a little montage, which I love because it had to Crocs, it
• 4:12
  when Meri panically shuts the moving truck.
• 4:14
  And I just love it because it's always like, oh, Meri's
• 4:17
  shutting. She's not even shutting
• 4:18
  anything. She's like latching something
• 4:20
  and turning. And there's like A and they
• 4:22
  always use the same sound effect and it's very dramatic.
• 4:25
  And I love it because it's all Much Ado about nothing.
• 4:27
  Well, and they always show the same clip about the police
• 4:30
  driving by and then the sirens down the street.
• 4:33
  And it's like obviously imposed siren noises over a clip of the
• 4:38
  family that they tried to make seem dramatic.
• 4:41
  And now in hindsight, you're like, that's an ambulance siren,
• 4:48
  There's a difference.
• 4:49
  And it's a wow of like an ambulance.
• 4:53
  Well, I'm not sure of the siren differences personally, but it
• 4:56
  is funny. Like even if the police were
• 4:58
  coming to do anything, they wouldn't have their sirens on.
• 5:01
  Like they would just be showing up like so weird.
• 5:04
  As someone who's taken many an
• 5:08
  slight difference in the noise
• 5:12
  Where wall is a little different.
• 5:15
  I clocked it. This time I'll have.
• 5:17
  To trust you on that when, Kimber, I'm not.
• 5:20
  I'm not the most familiar with
• 5:22
  But I hope you never are. I hope you never are.
• 5:25
  Too. Once again, I'm very young so
• 5:27
  hopefully this one happened for a while.
• 5:29
  I'll pray to the sky Front for
• 5:33
  Kody once again reiterates that the kids were not happy about
• 5:36
  the move to Vegas, which we know
• 5:40
  nauseam. The children are unhappy.
• 5:42
  They were unhappy. They have acclimated now more to
• 5:45
  Vegas and whatever, but you know, they were just not very
• 5:49
  happy with this move. The comment that he makes, he
• 5:51
  says some of the kids couldn't
• 5:55
  It was like they were still connected.
• 6:00
  I'm like, OK, so this they've given this home a life of its
• 6:06
  own. They talk about like the magic
• 6:09
  of the home there and the connectedness that it gave them.
• 6:12
  And they talk about this home like it had a heartbeat.
• 6:17
  Like a house is not a home, you know, type of thing, which is
• 6:21
  true to an extent, but home should be where the family is.
• 6:25
  Home is where you make it. But now their family is split
• 6:28
  up. Now the family split.
• 6:30
  Yeah. So there is that difference that
• 6:32
  yeah, they were all together in this home.
• 6:35
  But it just reminds me of like
• 6:38
  relationship and you're like just seeing the good times, the
• 6:40
  good things, right? And I'm sure that there's I'm
• 6:43
  sure that there's a little bit
• 6:45
  But the way that he words that
• 6:49
  they just couldn't separate themselves.
• 6:51
  Like, yeah, Kody, they're fucking children.
• 6:53
  You took them out of their element.
• 6:54
  You took them away from their friends.
• 6:55
  You didn't give them any choice and.
• 6:59
  We're leaving in three days. You can't tell anyone.
• 7:02
  Like literally running in the middle of the night except for
• 7:04
  kind of not and ridiculous. And I don't understand this
• 7:07
  connection and why they couldn't
• 7:10
  It's like because you're an adult who can compartmentalize,
• 7:13
  but these children can't, OK. They just don't get the kids.
• 7:17
  Like they just they expect them to be little adults, which is
• 7:21
  just not the case. Kody says he doesn't mind them
• 7:24
  going back now because they formed friendships and are in
• 7:27
  activities in Las Vegas. Oh so I'm glad he doesn't mind.
• 7:31
  Like that's so annoying too. But this old patriarchy dad
• 7:34
  thing, like he gets to just be
• 7:38
  cares if you mind Sir. I like fuck Kody.
• 7:42
  Yeah, he's not talking really about their feelings as much as
• 7:46
  he's just confused by their feelings.
• 7:48
  But how he's feeling then and how, I don't know, like his
• 7:52
  feelings make sense. Like, all right, I did notice
• 7:57
  that Meri and the other wives look exactly the same as the
• 8:00
  last interview. So this is obviously a grouping
• 8:03
  of interviews that were done. They're wearing the same royal
• 8:07
  blue. The blue and Robyn is not.
• 8:11
  And Robbins wearing that magenta.
• 8:13
  Magenta. Yeah, obviously recorded all at
• 8:17
  the same time, these interviews from the last two episodes here
• 8:19
  now. Robyn the one eyed, one horned
• 8:22
  flying purple people eater. Meri's still got the same
• 8:25
  Flipadoo hair that she could fly
• 8:27
  Like a witch on a broomstick. Like a witch on a broomstick.
• 8:30
  Quite like the purple people eater.
• 8:31
  They could just fly away together.
• 8:32
  Yes, her and Robyn. Oh, it's almost like they could
• 8:36
  be lesbian lovers. So when the older kids, Logan,
• 8:41
  Leon, Maddie and Hunter are on
• 8:44
  trip to go back to Lehigh, Logan
• 8:48
  for me back in Utah. And that makes sense.
• 8:51
  You know, as time passes, there's less and less for you
• 8:54
  from where you came from. Yeah, he says that it's just not
• 8:57
  as hard to visit now as it was
• 8:59
  relationships have changed since
• 9:04
  distance between him and his friends has made things
• 9:07
  obviously change over time and
• 9:11
  And, you know, that's pretty true for that age in general, I
• 9:16
  think. And he's about to go off to
• 9:18
  college and find a new friend group and whatnot.
• 9:21
  You're not close to those people
• 9:23
  You're probably not going to be close to them mentally.
• 9:27
  In other ways, they give us some
• 9:31
  packing up and leaving, kind of nondescript, whatever, Like
• 9:34
  they're packing up cars, the car
• 9:38
  blah. And then they arrive at Meri's
• 9:40
  mom's house, Grandma Bonnie's house.
• 9:43
  Oh, Grandma Bonnie. Bonnie have a place in my heart
• 9:47
  for Grandma Bonnie. She seems like a nice lady.
• 9:50
  They talk about how the food is just different when it comes
• 9:53
  from a grandma, which is very true.
• 9:56
  Very true. Yeah.
• 9:57
  There were some other adults at Grandma Bonnie's house that I
• 10:01
  took note of. Meri's sister, Rebecca.
• 10:04
  Rebecca touch my bass. Rebecca, touch my bass.
• 10:10
  Yeah. OK, we'll have to like.
• 10:15
  If you are familiar with that reference, God bless you.
• 10:18
  I love that. So, and if you're not, I
• 10:22
  recommend Googling Touch my Bass, Rebecca, Touch my bass and
• 10:27
  just see what comes up. And Meri's sister Rebecca is
• 10:31
  married to Uncle Nathan. Now Nathan is a character that
• 10:35
  we will see years down the road.
• 10:37
  If you're doing a re watch like we are.
• 10:40
  It's funny to see Nathan this far back because he does come
• 10:44
  back in later seasons as Kody's friend.
• 10:47
  Now is this after Meri's sister leaves him or the other wife
• 10:52
  that he has leaves him? I'm not sure which wife leaves
• 10:58
  wives and eventually he's down to 1.
• 11:00
  Does he still look as disturbed in the future episode?
• 11:04
  It actually does get worse because we see clearer shots and
• 11:13
  pretty generous for footage of him.
• 11:16
  I don't know how to not make fun of his lazy eye.
• 11:20
  He has one eye that looks here and one that looks over there.
• 11:28
  need to like, beat people over the head with the lazy eye.
• 11:31
  He talks to the kids and they have like 1 weird close up and I
• 11:39
  inbred and I'm so sorry but like he looks like.
• 11:41
  Yes, he does. But play blind got play across.
• 11:46
  I don't know.
• 11:48
  I'm so sorry. That might be a horrible thing
• 11:50
  to say and people are going to
• 11:53
  something. You know, you marry your close
• 11:55
  enough cousin and things happen.
• 11:58
  Yeah, I suppose they do. Just like that.
• 12:01
  What's the jaw of the royal family?
• 12:03
  Oh God, Robyn's got that jaw. Don't even don't you even align
• 12:08
  her with any royalty. Royal.
• 12:10
  Will she will like have that Google hit come up and be like
• 12:20
  No see. It's destiny.
• 12:21
  It's. No, the Hapsburg jaw.
• 12:24
  The Hapsburg jaw. Robyn, I'm a huge fan.
• 12:28
  OK, so Uncle Adam is also there. Now who is Uncle Adam?
• 12:32
  I don't know. We're going to assume it's one
• 12:36
  former brother-in-law who's not married to another sister.
• 12:38
  There's a lot of like leaving and marrying and whatever of
• 12:42
  people and it all involves Meri. And this is just so cringe.
• 12:45
  I just feel so bad for Meri. Everyone she knows is marrying
• 12:55
  says that it was a good move for the family to go to Vegas
• 12:59
  because he has a lot of insight into this, whoever he is.
• 13:03
  Yeah. Did you care at all about Uncle
• 13:05
  Adam? Not really.
• 13:07
  They do have a little interview moment with him and they show
• 13:11
  him talking to the kids as well. But one thing that I did pick up
• 13:21
  saying how sad they'll be when they go back to Utah for college
• 13:26
  and Mommy Meri won't be with them.
• 13:31
  Going back to Utah for college
• 13:36
  And Leon will share more of their future desires and plans
• 13:39
  with us later in the episode. Little foreshadowing here.
• 13:43
  It gave me a little glimpse into
• 13:48
  gave that blurb about missing Meri while going back to Utah,
• 13:54
  because Utah obviously is where Leon has wanted to be, wants to
• 14:00
  be. So Leon's having this pull
• 14:03
  between being with Mama Meri. Mama Meri.
• 14:07
  Mama Meri and being in Utah. Mama Meri, that sounds so sweet,
• 14:12
  like endearing, like a positive thing.
• 14:15
  Well, in Leon's eyes, that's how
• 14:18
  Maybe. A little more Mommy dearest, but
• 14:20
  yes, Mommy Meri, Yeah. I mean, I'm sure that my, but I
• 14:26
  won't even go there, right? I just, I can relate to Leon in
• 14:29
  that moment's all I'm saying, yeah.
• 14:32
  Also, with Leon being an only child, not an only child, but an
• 14:37
  only child in Meri's house, there's also that element, like
• 14:41
  I'm pretty sure we'll see it play out that Leon is little bit
• 14:47
  of spoiled brat, little bit of
• 14:54
  doesn't revolve around you. Listen, Leon, we all have
• 14:57
  emotions, we all have perspectives, we all have
• 15:00
  experiences. And I'm not going to say that
• 15:03
  every only child ends up lacking
• 15:06
  funny when it comes out and you're like, you are an only
• 15:09
  child. Like OK, makes sense.
• 15:11
  Yeah, that was a glimpse into it.
• 15:13
  Also, I have noticed that Leon
• 15:17
  little bit. Little hoity toity about the
• 15:20
  rules and the religion, yes so.
• 15:23
  Yes, lives by the book, by the Book of Mormon.
• 15:27
  Well, by the Book of Mormon and in Meri's house, I mean my God,
• 15:31
  like you cross your T's and you dot your IS or you might be
• 15:36
  punished. I don't know if there was real
• 15:43
  the fear, the like threat of punishment was probably very
• 15:46
  heavy in Meri's house. I mean, if you grew up Catholic
• 15:50
  like I did, I was told that God's watching and he sees
• 15:54
  everything. And I thought he was in the
• 15:56
  bathroom with me. I thought he was in the bedroom
• 15:57
  with me. I thought he was everywhere with
• 16:02
  Yes, yeah. I'd finally just gotten over
• 16:04
  that. Does the sign of the cross.
• 16:06
  Oh. Gosh.
• 16:06
  Thanks for bringing it back up well, but if there's.
• 16:09
  Any other trauma you'd like to unpack, honey?
• 16:12
  I bring it to you. I have a feeling that Meri is
• 16:19
  the type of mother that would use that sort of thing to keep
• 16:26
  Just like I don't understand the whole Elf on a Shelf thing.
• 16:30
  You're telling your children that something is spying on them
• 16:34
  I don't agree with it. I don't agree that you should
• 16:38
  tell your child that your Sky friend's watching you all the
• 16:40
  time either. I think that people need to know
• 16:48
  Is Elf on a Shelf really there to watch you?
• 16:50
  Oh yeah, that's the whole premise.
• 16:52
  Is that if you? Funny.
• 16:54
  Yeah, if you do something naughty, the Elf on the Shelf is
• 17:00
  That makes sense. I thought Elf on the Shelf was
• 17:05
  next day it's somewhere else and you're supposed to try to figure
• 17:08
  The whole back story is that the elf is there to watch you.
• 17:12
  Which is funny because Santa does.
• 17:14
  Like, he sees you when you're sleeping.
• 17:16
  He knows when you're, he knows when you're awake.
• 17:19
  Like it's creepy enough, but he's got to have a sidekick.
• 17:23
  I've just told my kids that I will report to Santa.
• 17:26
  Well, this is it. You're the spy.
• 17:28
  There ain't no creepy little elf hanging around on our shelf
• 17:32
  spying on you. It's just.
• 17:34
  Mom, it's. Just some mother.
• 17:36
  Dearest mother, mother, mother. Oh man.
• 17:41
  And now we learned that it's April Fool's Day.
• 17:44
  It's April Fool's Day, which is wonderful.
• 17:46
  So I guess that's April 1st. That's what they tell me.
• 17:51
  I was almost an April Fool's baby.
• 17:52
  Oh yes, very. Much, 31st.
• 17:54
  Well, and the fool would have been everyone else, so the fool
• 17:57
  would have been you. My mom was very concerned that I
• 18:02
  I can't imagine you having an April Fool's birthday can.
• 18:06
  You imagine God. The number of things you would
• 18:11
  little jester hat on, doing like a Celtic dance.
• 18:13
  I don't know. Celtic.
• 18:16
  I don't know. The floor is lava, the.
• 18:21
  Floor is. OK everyone, we're all over the
• 18:26
  place now. We learned that it's April
• 18:29
  Fool's Day because Maddie says that Leon spent the night at a
• 18:38
  So Maddie, Logan, and Hunter decide to pull a prank on Leon.
• 18:43
  A little pranky prank.
• 18:45
  A little something. And then Leon arrives back at
• 18:49
  Grandma Bonnie's house after a
• 18:53
  answer their phone. How rude.
• 18:54
  How terrible. And Leon walks in with a pillow
• 18:57
  and an overnight bag looking like they literally just woke
• 19:01
  up. And so that's kind of fun
• 19:02
  because it's like, oh, welcome
• 19:04
  Some sort of makeup bag or little satchel as well as being
• 19:10
  held in this moment and then. Boom boom.
• 19:15
  Maddie says that Hunter was arrested for having alcohol and
• 19:20
  being out past curfew. Curfew and booze.
• 19:25
  Booze. I should have known you'd know
• 19:27
  where to find the booze and the boys.
• 19:30
  A lot of mommy dears preferences
• 19:32
  But after Maddie shares this news that Hunter was arrested.
• 19:38
  Leon throws the purse or makeup bag and yells idiot.
• 19:43
  Are you kidding me? Slams the pillow in the bag on
• 19:48
  the ground. And then what I love is that
• 19:50
  there's this dramatic shot where
• 19:53
  a Viva dresser threw her leg on the floor in Real Housewives of
• 19:56
  New York. And there's like the cell phone.
• 19:59
  And I'm like, this is so good.
• 20:02
  some miscellaneous crap and then
• 20:05
  And it's like the drama of it all.
• 20:09
  It was pretty good. The reaction from Leon like
• 20:12
  throwing the makeup bag and idiot and.
• 20:17
  Just. Oh, the absurdity of it all so
• 20:19
  good. And Maddie and Logan are just
• 20:22
  like losing it, like trying really hard to look like they're
• 20:27
  kind of keeping it together, but
• 20:30
  pretty funny. When Leon storms out of the
• 20:32
  room, they are both like smiling
• 20:36
  because it's like, Oh my gosh.
• 20:39
  Regain composure. Maddie in this moment in her I
• 20:43
  don't know if it was Hollister.
• 20:44
  I think it was a Hollister like hoodie.
• 20:46
  It just reminded me of myself and my friends like so freaking
• 20:51
  much with like that hair that was scrunched with too much gel
• 20:57
  and the like Abercrombie Hollister trying like preppy
• 21:00
  little sweater that cost way too fucking much money.
• 21:04
  And it was like a flashback to reality for me.
• 21:09
  Yes, but it was cute. It was very much of the time,
• 21:13
  yeah. I was way too young once again
• 21:16
  Baby. This is a baby.
• 21:19
  And it's great because they pan down.
• 21:21
  They cut down the hallway or whatever where Leon has dashed
• 21:27
  doorway talking or listening or sharing, and Leon is wearing AT
• 21:31
  shirt a slogan tee. And what does this slogan T say,
• 21:40
  Bull. Bull.
• 21:42
  Shirt. Just a just a black T-shirt that
• 21:52
  such a prude, it's so sophisticated and would never
• 21:55
  break any rules, I am shocked that they are wearing AT shirt
• 22:10
  And they had come back from this sleepover and were disheveled, a
• 22:18
  And then that shirt, it was, it was obviously a sleep shirt,
• 22:22
  right? Like nothing that they would
• 22:24
  wear out other than for sleeping in.
• 22:26
  I think that's why it was so funny.
• 22:28
  Then they they pretend that Hunter is getting home at that
• 22:38
  walk in, which is all staged by them.
• 22:40
  Maddie shares that she told Meri to text Leon that the trip was
• 22:49
  immediately, which then Maddie does share.
• 22:51
  And I can't remember what she said.
• 22:52
  She said some phrase about like the trip is kibosh or something.
• 22:57
  so like family, like lame family.
• 23:00
  Like my mom would be like, your plans are kibosh.
• 23:02
  Like Oh my God, Kibosh. Foobar the whole thing,
• 23:05
  Christopher. My mom would never say foobar.
• 23:07
  Oh my God, no, no, But she would
• 23:10
  on that. Don't you know?
• 23:12
  You say Kittywompus. Kittywompus.
• 23:15
  Yeah, your plans went Kittywompus.
• 23:16
  Another kibosh. Like, OK, Thanks Mom.
• 23:19
  So the language was, I thought
• 23:23
  was so smart. Like have a parent text that
• 23:27
  like the trip is over. We've had enough.
• 23:29
  Like if I got that text, I would
• 23:32
  Like even if I wasn't involved, I would be like, we're probably
• 23:35
  all in trouble. Like this is not going to be
• 23:37
  good. Bull shirt.
• 23:38
  We got to go home now. Holy bull shirt.
• 23:43
  Oh, no. Oh.
• 23:45
  God, I'm going to call you out
• 23:49
  This is bull shirt and we got to
• 23:56
  Oh God. Oh, this bull shirt is really
• 24:00
  hitting me. It's really hitting me hard.
• 24:02
  It's. It is ironic.
• 24:04
  It's just the situation and then
• 24:08
  episode thing, it just fits so.
• 24:09
  So good, It's so good. God.
• 24:11
  And Leon says to Hunter very dramatically, because of you.
• 24:17
  It's. Like Oh my God he would have
• 24:21
  thought that hunter stayed out late and got busted with moose.
• 24:25
  They do reveal the joke, like in
• 24:29
  this moment, and Leon says, I just couldn't believe that my
• 24:35
  perfect little brother, yeah, would be caught with alcohol
• 24:40
  and, like, drags it out. So dramatic.
• 24:45
  Meri being Leon's mom came out
• 24:48
  Oh my God. Like you have shamed the family.
• 24:51
  You have embarrassed us. This is bullshirt like.
• 24:54
  Oh my God. They go to the couch and then
• 24:56
  Rihanna is telling them that they all have it coming.
• 24:59
  You're right, they've all got it
• 25:02
  And Maddie says she's real scared.
• 25:05
  I'm real scared, right? You know, Leon's probably like,
• 25:09
  no, I'm serious, I'm going to get something so good probably
• 25:12
  never happened. No.
• 25:13
  And that was a very Janelle way of saying it as well, Like they
• 25:16
  are playing out their parents.
• 25:19
  That was definitely Janelle's daughter.
• 25:21
  Yes. Oh, it was good.
• 25:24
  Did you play pranks on your siblings on April Fool's Day?
• 25:28
  You know what? I don't think so.
• 25:30
  I'm not much of a prankster. If someone else has a good idea
• 25:35
  like I'll do it, but I I'm not
• 25:37
  I don't. You know.
• 25:39
  I'm not a participant in life.
• 25:43
  people are like, have you ever
• 25:44
  I'm like, no, people are like.
• 25:46
  Me by no whatever, like I'm just
• 25:49
  What about you, honey? Do you really?
• 25:51
  Like a true deadbeat loser, I let life pass me by on a regular
• 25:54
  basis. I'm just watching sister wise.
• 26:00
  Don't expect what else you. Listen, sometimes I venture into
• 26:04
  other trash TV too, so you know.
• 26:07
  Oh my God. Now, do you like to do April
• 26:09
  Fool's? Because you come from a
• 26:11
  household where scaring people is normal, and that's not right.
• 26:15
  I was not raised in the house where you scare people.
• 26:17
  It's not right. I used to scare my sister all
• 26:20
  the time. I would hide in her closet with
• 26:22
  a camcorder with like a video camcorder attached to my hand
• 26:27
  and I would record me scaring her.
• 26:29
  Oh my. God, that's so.
• 26:33
  Right. That is such a violation.
• 26:35
  You know, it's funny because I
• 26:40
  be held responsible for my physical reactions within 2
• 26:44
  seconds of a fright because, you
• 26:46
  to come back 30 minutes later and punch him in the face and
• 26:48
  be like, that's what you deserve.
• 26:49
  Wow. But I have, I have hit people.
• 26:55
  Yeah, because it's like you scared me on purpose.
• 26:58
  So when it's fight or flight, you fight.
• 27:01
  I do. I fight too.
• 27:03
  I get like, yeah, karate ninja comes out.
• 27:06
  I can't handle it. You know, my child's been waking
• 27:13
  been having to suppress my fight when it comes to fight or flight
• 27:20
  I hide from him around corners. It's.
• 27:22
  Just not right. It's just not right.
• 27:25
  For all of you scarers out there, please reconsider your
• 27:28
  ways. I would scare my sister though
• 27:35
  And then get her in trouble. That is so wrong.
• 27:39
  That is so wrong on so many levels.
• 27:41
  I could. Definitely tell sister I have to
• 27:45
  tell you're not the oldest cause the oldest would never be able
• 27:48
  My sister would chase me around the house with knives.
• 27:51
  Like, literal knives. So I think I was allowed to,
• 27:53
  Yeah. Do what I did.
• 27:54
  I don't know. Well, I tried to hurt my
• 27:56
  brothers and they deserved it. So I I empathize.
• 27:58
  I empathize with your Oh my. God, you take that back anyway.
• 28:03
  Now we're going to a very
• 28:06
  special time in this episode. We're going to move on to Meri's
• 28:10
  house back in Las Vegas. Very.
• 28:12
  Pivotal moment. And we can tell it's Meri's
• 28:14
  house because there's the half
• 28:17
  the living room and there is a
• 28:22
  and bright neon green placemats as if we are eating a meal.
• 28:27
  We are not eating a meal. There's no need for a placemat
• 28:30
  or a tablecloth. But Meri's got both.
• 28:33
  So I just love picking up on these things about Meri because,
• 28:36
  right, she's not crafty, she's
• 28:38
  She's just like always dealing.
• 28:40
  I'm like, but you have more shit that aligns with crafty slash
• 28:44
  creative. When we talked about not crafty,
• 28:53
  Like good Lord lady.
• 28:54
  I took this diet coca 2 liter cola bottle here and I cut it in
• 29:00
  half and you can catch your toenails in it and it says right
• 29:02
  on it toenail catcher. Oh my God, that's amazing.
• 29:09
  She does have the green placemats and you know, it was
• 29:12
  just Valentine's Day, so perhaps
• 29:16
  decor out. Well, April 1st is after Saint
• 29:18
  Patrick's Day, right? Oh, but this could have been,
• 29:21
  this could have also been filmed
• 29:24
  You know what I mean? The kids, like they don't
• 29:26
  mention the kids in the scene so
• 29:28
  filmed. Could be, could be.
• 29:31
  I doubt that they're having this
• 29:34
  children are gone, because where
• 29:37
  So. Where would their, yeah, their
• 29:40
  surrogate parents be? Oh my God.
• 29:42
  Yep. Oh, but that does actually make
• 29:44
  sense that the bright, tacky green hideous placemats were for
• 29:49
  Saint Patrick's. Day.
• 29:49
  Not just an everyday thing here.
• 29:51
  You don't think so? Oh, it is Meri.
• 29:54
  Meri, Meri, Meri, Meri. So we're in Meri's house as
• 29:59
  we've established all of the adults are sitting around the
• 30:02
  table, Kody at the head of the table, of course, because Kody
• 30:05
  And then we have his subordinates on either side.
• 30:08
  And Robyn says welcome to our first my sister wife's closet
• 30:13
  meeting. And I audibly, I was going to
• 30:16
  say gasped. I don't think I gasped.
• 30:18
  I went Oh my God, my sister wife's closet like, oh, it's
• 30:21
  happening because yes, we have discussed it, but we haven't
• 30:24
  been in on a real meeting yet. And I'm just really excited to
• 30:31
  start the biggest thing since sliced bread.
• 30:34
  I have to say this table, this view of the table has become a
• 30:43
  They have been sat at this table many a time.
• 30:46
  They've been sat here to talk about the gym, the gym.
• 30:49
  They've been sat here to talk about the Valentine's Day car
• 30:52
  card. Yeah, and now and.
• 30:55
  Kody's birthday. Oh yeah, Kody's birthday.
• 30:57
  And now they're here for the sister wife's closet meeting.
• 31:01
  Yes, Meri's table is an important table.
• 31:04
  It's. Probably the only clean one not
• 31:06
  of all of them, so they have to just keep sitting there.
• 31:09
  Meri's like. There's always 3 layers of
• 31:11
  protection on this table. Yeah, I can just whip off
• 31:15
  whatever tablecloth is dirty, just like you layer your potty
• 31:24
  Do you have a three-year old boy?
• 31:26
  Perhaps. They're not the reference.
• 31:29
  Love the reference. Yes.
• 31:32
  Work smarter, not harder, Meri says.
• 31:34
  And so do I. You and Meri have a lot in
• 31:38
  common. It's not just the hair now couch
• 31:45
  and we're getting a two shot of Robyn and Meri, so I shouldn't
• 31:51
  there, but it's Robyn and Meri on the couch and I was blinded
• 32:04
  Yeah. Now, as we've discussed,
• 32:09
  whatever herpes. I said everybody shut up the
• 32:13
  cold sore speaking. Everybody listen up.
• 32:18
  Round up the troops. Round up the troops.
• 32:22
  Listen. Oh, so I don't really know how
• 32:27
  It's just, it's just there and everyone who hasn't seen this
• 32:30
  needs to know that it's there. I don't want to make a mountain
• 32:34
  out of a mole when it comes to this cold sore or her other
• 32:38
  ones, but it's there. It is what it is.
• 32:41
  It's. Speaking to us you.
• 32:42
  Can't really avoid it forever. It has a lot to say.
• 32:46
  And then the other thing that I was blinded by was Meri's hair,
• 32:50
  and I noted that it might require an elevator to get to
• 32:54
  the top. It's like bump, bump, bump,
• 32:56
  bump. There's multiple levels.
• 32:57
  Oh, she can fly with it. It's got wings.
• 33:00
  It does have wings. Like a maxi pad, Like Red Bull,
• 33:03
  it's got wings of its own. It does have wings, and I
• 33:07
  noticed that you've been trying to style your hair that way,
• 33:10
  honey, but you're just not getting enough.
• 33:12
  I'm not getting it quite flippy enough.
• 33:14
  I've been trying. I've been trying need to figure
• 33:18
  out who her stylist was. My thing here, I did not notice
• 33:24
  much other than the phrase that she used when she starts
• 33:30
  speaking about this jewelry. OK.
• 33:32
  A long time ago I had this dream to have a boutique jewelry shop.
• 33:42
  OK, Martin Luther King, like, shut the fuck up, Robyn.
• 33:45
  You're really going to start this whole segment with saying,
• 33:50
  a long time ago I had this dream?
• 33:54
  Well, I don't know if she thinks
• 33:56
  No, she doesn't, but that's why it's like plagiarism.
• 34:00
  Much like she probably heard that I had a dream speech one
• 34:03
  time. My sister wife's closet is her
• 34:06
  own personal Martin Luther King journey.
• 34:09
  I'm giving her too much credit
• 34:13
  here. But it as any intelligent
• 34:16
  educated person would think, that's automatically where your
• 34:19
  mind goes when somebody starts
• 34:22
  dream and I'm like, can you not compare your piece of shit
• 34:26
  jewelry shop to that? I'm so sorry.
• 34:29
  She probably didn't even mean to, but.
• 34:31
  I think you might be reading between the lines a bit here.
• 34:35
  It didn't strike me as that bizarre, it just sounded like a
• 34:37
  stupid girl with a stupid dream.
• 34:40
  Oh my God, I just. Did I hear you?
• 34:42
  I just think that the Martin Luther King.
• 34:44
  Dumb that she would probably hear it and then it just like
• 34:47
  stays with her and so she starts that way because she knows it's
• 34:51
  impactful. I don't know she like.
• 34:52
  Becomes a part of her vernacular.
• 34:53
  Just like yuck yuck yuck yuck Robyn.
• 34:56
  Stop. Robyn says she went to a jeweler
• 35:04
  Christmas. So it was nice that she got to
• 35:07
  And also she killed two birds with one stone by giving these
• 35:15
  So that's nice. I mean, it's better than a box
• 35:21
  Maybe. Who knows?
• 35:22
  It's. Just a yeah, that was that was a
• 35:28
  sharing her sketches with the wives and the Kody.
• 35:32
  Now just this, I just have to preface what this is on graph
• 35:37
  paper. As a person who owns a lot of
• 35:40
  graph paper, I love some graph paper.
• 35:41
  I love to sketch out home plans because I'm going to build my
• 35:45
  own home one day, right? This is something that when I,
• 35:51
  something like this. And so I and my grandpa used to
• 35:55
  do that. And so I always like, it's like
• 35:57
  a little bit of nostalgia for me.
• 35:58
  So seeing this graph paper, I was like, oh, graph paper.
• 36:01
  And then what I saw what was on the graph paper, I was like, I
• 36:07
  launch of the jewelry and how many pieces they're gonna have.
• 36:10
  And Kody is trying to give his
• 36:13
  two cents like an idiot and talking about the hearts and the
• 36:17
  this and the that and then the
• 36:20
  And it's not even used correctly.
• 36:22
  Like it's not drawn to make things even right.
• 36:25
  Like graph paper would be used.
• 36:28
  And I got to say, the pictures that I've seen drawn on your
• 36:32
  graph paper of your dog collar collection that you're going to
• 36:34
  come out with are 1000 times better than this jewelry
• 36:38
  collection that we saw. Dog collar.
• 36:41
  Wow, she means cock rings. They're actually, that's how bad
• 36:47
  thinks they're dog collars. So naive.
• 36:50
  Anything to use some graph paper.
• 36:52
  You know me. So naive.
• 36:54
  On that graph paper. But these do all look phallic.
• 37:01
  There's some weird shapes. At one point I noticed it caught
• 37:10
  up heart that goes, you know, like I was talking about it in a
• 37:15
  preteen where it's like I'm wasting time in class and I'm
• 37:18
  drawing right side up heart, upside down heart, right side
• 37:20
  up. And it's just a line of hearts.
• 37:23
  And it's like, really?
• 37:24
  This is your sketch for some jewelry.
• 37:27
  I could have drawn better than
• 37:30
  not even joking. This literally looks like
• 37:33
  something I would have drawn like pre 4th grade.
• 37:37
  I'm not an amazing artist but I'm also like, I don't know,
• 37:42
  this was just horseshit. It was terrible, it was
• 37:46
  embarrassing. And there's comments on the next
• 37:49
  page that you can see that we paused to see these drawings and
• 37:55
  I jotted a few of them down because I was just like, what
• 37:59
  the fuck is this even? Like there's a half a heart on
• 38:03
  top of 1/2 a heart like flipped upside down that almost just
• 38:05
  looks like 2 JS like connected
• 38:11
  it's supposed to be like a heart
• 38:14
  bent. I think it's just ridiculous and
• 38:19
  on the page over there's like her agenda and it's literally
• 38:24
  just like a few words and one of
• 38:28
  line one says cost and then that's it.
• 38:30
  And there was nothing else around it.
• 38:32
  Like are you that like empty up here?
• 38:37
  Like what is even happening? Well, I do think she moved her
• 38:40
  hand eventually and there was some words.
• 38:42
  I don't know that I saw any numbers associated with the
• 38:45
  cops, but there was some sentences further down and to
• 38:48
  the right. So she also can't align like sub
• 38:50
  bullets, like it's like halfway across the page.
• 38:53
  She probably took three hours composing this Word doc and it
• 38:57
  was the worst Word doc you've ever seen.
• 38:58
  Yeah, it was atrocious. I just can't even with the
• 39:01
  drawings and the bit of the Word
• 39:05
  drawings, which I don't think we
• 39:09
  because it said launch before season premiere.
• 39:13
  Yes. So obviously there was some sort
• 39:16
  of plan about when they were going to release the jewelry
• 39:18
  line along with the show to try to, you know, capitalize,
• 39:22
  maximize profit. And I doubt that the viewer is
• 39:26
  supposed to see that. And also, when you think of when
• 39:29
  this was filmed, this was way before like the real, real like
• 39:35
  focus that we have now. Oh God.
• 39:38
  Which is very apparent by the sores and Janelle's or no
• 39:44
  Christine's nose scratch. Whatever was going on in Kody's
• 39:47
  nose scratches, It's like they
• 39:51
  their fingernails. I don't know.
• 39:52
  There's a lot of sores and wounds, a lot of.
• 39:55
  Really weird stuff in the interviews of this episode.
• 39:58
  But they did not mean for us to see this.
• 40:00
  That's all I got to say. Yes, it was totally not
• 40:02
  intentional for us to be reading
• 40:04
  That didn't help anything anyway.
• 40:07
  And now we get to hear some feedback from some of our sister
• 40:10
  wives about Robyn's inspired, inspirational designs.
• 40:15
  Word Art. Heart Jewelry, Janelle.
• 40:20
  Janelle this is very trite to me
• 40:23
  Yes, yes. This to me is something like, Oh
• 40:27
  my God, I'm 5 when she's pointing to the upside down or
• 40:31
  right side down. And it's funny because she's
• 40:32
  trying to counter these insults by saying that it's trite.
• 40:37
  And Oh my God, I feel like I'm
• 40:39
  Well, yeah, you know, this one I
• 40:41
  But. And it's like, all right.
• 40:42
  And it's they're referencing this Southwest sketch for sister
• 40:47
  wife and Kody makes a joke about
• 40:50
  Nope. Meri.
• 40:51
  Did Meri make the joke? Yeah.
• 40:53
  Meri like. Said really loud like love you
• 40:56
  strong women sister wives. Like it's just hating her.
• 41:00
  And that's right. This is a great idea.
• 41:02
  Finally, it's clicking. It's clicking.
• 41:04
  It's clicking. And Kody, that's right.
• 41:06
  He's like, good job, mayor or something.
• 41:08
  I'm like Oh my God, like why are
• 41:10
  4? Yeah, like he thought that all
• 41:14
  No, they did not. Nobody had thought that.
• 41:17
  The symbolism was undeniable. Gosh, yeah.
• 41:20
  And Janelle is literally, literally says that she wouldn't
• 41:26
  wouldn't wear the hearts. Now, it's funny that you heard
• 41:33
  However, I heard Janelle says she likes the West since it's
• 41:38
  less tight. And I just instantly thought of
• 41:42
  the loose roll and the loose stools and the looseness of it
• 41:49
  Unchecked. I know because it was trite, but
• 41:55
  Which is funny because the design of the West is like a
• 41:58
  loose W, yeah. It is.
• 41:59
  It is loose. There's like 2 of you is making
• 42:02
  up AW. Yeah, it's very like Curly.
• 42:04
  You're it is like you opened up a third grader's notebook and
• 42:08
  saw their doodles. That's straight up what it looks
• 42:11
  So weird. I'm playing with my letters and
• 42:14
  it's like Robyn is a grown ass woman with children.
• 42:16
  Like Oh my God. I'm saying, like graph paper,
• 42:19
  you usually use it because you're drawing things to make
• 42:22
  them equal, right? No.
• 42:23
  This bitch has it just like Willy Wonka all over the page,
• 42:31
  Yeah, I can't. I can't.
• 42:32
  It was awful. And also all of these sketches,
• 42:35
  to be clear, there's a bunch of space between each of these
• 42:38
  little doodles, so it's unclear if anything's like to scale to
• 42:44
  even get an understanding of what the jewelry would really
• 42:46
  look like based on these sketches.
• 42:47
  There's no way that this is like two sides or any other thought
• 43:00
  onto paper. It's atrocious.
• 43:03
  Well, you know what you need When you have terrible designs
• 43:09
  You need a jeweler to the stars. You need Brandon.
• 43:14
  Brandon, Las Vegas celebrity Brandon.
• 43:18
  And he's got the jokes. No, he's a clever boy.
• 43:22
  He's a funny. Joke, says Brandon.
• 43:23
  So he joins them at the table. He walks on in, says, is this
• 43:28
  the polygamist house? No, I'm just kidding.
• 43:29
  He doesn't, but he joins them. He comes in and it's like, oh,
• 43:35
  gifts and he's seen my terrible designs.
• 43:37
  Hello, Brandon. He looks like the Penguin from
• 43:45
  under one of his eyes and he looks like the Penguin from
• 43:50
  Batman. In the new remake where Joaquin
• 43:53
  Phoenix is playing, I think it's no, it's not Joaquin
• 43:57
  Phoenix. It's.
• 43:58
  From the movie that I haven't seen must I was thinking of
• 44:01
  Danny DeVito from back in the day.
• 44:04
  I know. Well, let's not get you started
• 44:05
  on Danny DeVito. Let's not get me started.
• 44:08
  Danny DeVito was the Penguin, right?
• 44:09
  It's my heart throb. Yeah, back in the day.
• 44:12
  Yeah, Colin Farrell. Colin Farrell as the Penguin.
• 44:16
  Colin Farrell, OK. He just looks like the made over
• 44:19
  version of Colin Farrell as the Penguin and I couldn't Unsee it
• 44:23
  once. I like, yeah.
• 44:25
  I don't know what that means, but he did have no hair and I
• 44:27
  thought maybe you were going to comment on his shiny forehead
• 44:30
  and his shiny head and the light
• 44:33
  He also did have like some weird
• 44:35
  sure that it was the right head to be shaved, but what?
• 44:37
  A baldness going on in the last couple episodes here, a lot of
• 44:41
  wonky shaped heads. But no, I just they did this
• 44:44
  side view of him and he had this
• 44:48
  that almost looked like a teardrop, like a gangster.
• 44:52
  And I was like, Oh my God, he looks like the Penguin anyway.
• 44:55
  That's a beautiful story, honey.
• 44:57
  And he asks, are all polygamist women different than other women
• 45:04
  comment is that? Well, he's inferring that women
• 45:07
  don't like to share. And so this concept, it's not
• 45:10
  that he's he's not wrong for questioning the concept.
• 45:13
  His question itself is stupid. Like the better question would
• 45:22
  being a sister wife when you're not one and you fundamentally
• 45:25
  don't want to live that lifestyle.
• 45:27
  So why would you want the jewelry?
• 45:29
  Right. That's the question.
• 45:31
  But he's implying, you know, women don't like sharing.
• 45:33
  He's even tying in, you know, like bracelets, like charms,
• 45:36
  like, you know, women don't want to share their charms once they
• 45:39
  have them. And it's like, who's sharing
• 45:40
  charms? Like we're even, I guess he's a
• 45:42
  jeweler. He must hear about these things.
• 45:45
  coming from? Unless you're like at a Taylor
• 45:46
  Swift or an EDM concert where you're sharing bracelets, like
• 45:51
  beaded bracelets, I don't think that you're sharing your nice
• 45:54
  jewelry with another woman. But I don't know.
• 45:57
  Yeah, right. He just, this guy is interesting
• 46:00
  and you can tell that he is literally just there because
• 46:05
  they have been on ATV show and
• 46:09
  there. That's what this whole shindig
• 46:11
  is, and it's he. Ties up his conversation by
• 46:14
  basically saying he's OK with them if they're OK with him,
• 46:20
  blah blah blah. It's just another like
• 46:22
  monogamist being like oh I'm fine with you guys if you're
• 46:24
  fine with me. And they're like, of course
• 46:25
  we're fine with you. He's like, I just hope that you
• 46:28
  know that I robbed the city at
• 46:32
  I hope that you don't mind that.
• 46:34
  I don't care if you're robbed, ladies.
• 46:35
  And gentlemen, let's get her off the Penguin ship here.
• 46:39
  Holy Moses on the couch. The adults are there for their
• 46:46
  invested in this opportunity, like the fitness center.
• 46:49
  However, the startup costs for this are very low.
• 46:52
  And I'm going, yeah, of course the startup costs are low
• 46:55
  because your jewelry is pewter and a lot of soldering agent.
• 46:58
  I mean, like, what even is it? Like it looks hideous and Robyn
• 47:02
  already blew half your load by by making Christmas gifts, so
• 47:07
  you know, I don't know who knows what Brandon's going to give
• 47:10
  them. Who knows a good deal and some
• 47:16
  cost is going to be better and the startup cost is lower than
• 47:23
  episodes ago, she was just gung ho about this gym and she wasn't
• 47:31
  expenses of the houses and the children going to college that
• 47:42
  And it's probably just going to make them money quicker than the
• 47:48
  But then she rounds it off with saying like a comment about how
• 47:53
  the other ventures will come after.
• 47:55
  Yes, that they could use this money to finance their other.
• 47:59
  Ventures like she's holding out for hope still of the gym.
• 48:02
  Well, they do a pan when Kody says that all the wives are
• 48:05
  invested in the fitness center. No one has any stark reactions,
• 48:09
  but the camera pans to show everyone because we as viewers
• 48:16
  idea. Like, who's buying that?
• 48:18
  As many people that bought the jewelry are buying that.
• 48:22
  Like give me a break. I don't usually mention or
• 48:26
  comment on Janelle's hair, but her hair is fried, dyed and laid
• 48:33
  She has just bleached this hair out and it is literally combed
• 48:42
  It is just like wasped over. I did notice that it looks like
• 48:48
  you could just break pieces of it off because it's that fried.
• 48:51
  It's just like fluff that's been
• 48:53
  combed and it's not fluff, it's fluff and it's the first time
• 48:59
  I've noticed anything ever with her hair.
• 49:02
  I feel like it was always her natural ish color with like
• 49:05
  mostly highlights and then she
• 49:09
  out all over bleach and. And now when she gets out of the
• 49:13
  shower, her hair is like spaghetti noodles.
• 49:16
  I just want to give her some purple shampoo, that's all.
• 49:19
  That's true, she doesn't need some purple.
• 49:21
  She would need and it'd probably
• 49:26
  Better. Yeah, but you can tell that
• 49:29
  Robyn is so smug here. Oh God, Robyn.
• 49:33
  This couch scene, this interview, she is just thrilled
• 49:38
  that this all went her way. Everything's going her way.
• 49:41
  She's feeding them a bunch of bullshit about how all their
• 49:44
  ideas are just going to come together and that this is just
• 49:47
  awesome. She really, in this moment,
• 49:52
  looks so smug. Yeah, she says.
• 49:54
  We have so many tastes that could come together and appeal
• 49:57
  to so many women. That will be the key to success
• 50:00
  for my sister wife's closet and I, by the way, I'm not like
• 50:04
  some multimillionaire, but I'm going.
• 50:06
  I actually think that the key to success is often times being
• 50:10
  targeted in a vertical or in a niche, not just being like, we
• 50:18
  the Walmart thing and that works for Walmart jewelry
• 50:22
  manufacturer. I'm not so sure.
• 50:24
  Unless you come out with a line at Walmart.
• 50:26
  Right. I mean, I don't know what
• 50:28
  Robyn's thinking. I think she's it's just counter
• 50:31
  because actually the thing that Brandon probably should have got
• 50:42
  Like you're selling sister wife jewelry.
• 50:45
  What are there? There's a few thousand of you.
• 50:50
  have to like physically produce it and sell it and ship it or
• 50:53
  put it in a store. Like these are real costs.
• 50:56
  It's not like a digital asset that you make all this money on.
• 51:01
  doesn't make any sense. And hearing Robyn talk about it
• 51:03
  was such gusto. Just makes me want to punch her
• 51:06
  in the face. She's just like, oh, my idea is
• 51:09
  the one that's taking off right now.
• 51:10
  Like she is just smug as a bug
• 51:13
  Yes, she is. And she if if this were like my
• 51:19
  idea as a jeweler coming into this family, I would be like,
• 51:22
  OK, so the S and the West is dumb to try to sell because
• 51:27
  you're literally selling like your logo, like sister wives,
• 51:31
  like it doesn't make sense for
• 51:33
  How? Would anyone wear that?
• 51:34
  Nobody doesn't make sense the hearts.
• 51:37
  Now what if you could make the
• 51:41
  as many hearts as you wanted and
• 51:47
  amounts of hearts like based on the size of your family.
• 51:50
  Even if you're not a sister, wife like for your kids or this
• 51:54
  or that. Like how else are you going to
• 51:56
  sell this other than to people
• 52:00
  Because who the fuck is going to
• 52:03
  AW necklace unless your last name is like.
• 52:06
  My name is Sarah Walters. Yeah, there's no.
• 52:09
  For Sarah Walters, but I don't
• 52:12
  They obviously aren't going to
• 52:14
  want to make the family look stupid or the idea looks stupid.
• 52:17
  Especially because as we saw the
• 52:20
  the premiere of the show, they don't want to bash the brand.
• 52:26
  But it's like, my God, I don't
• 52:30
  and I don't know what this jeweler was thinking other than
• 52:32
  the fact that he's going to get some publicity out of this.
• 52:35
  But it's bad publicity. Right.
• 52:38
  And like, Kody is such a skis,
• 52:42
  local Las Vegas jeweler that he's going to get something out
• 52:45
  of it. OK, maybe he will be able to
• 52:47
  manufacture their jewelry that
• 52:50
  Maybe he gets some sort of deal by hooking them up with the
• 52:52
  manufacturer or something. But like, what makes him think
• 52:56
  that being on Sister Wives is going to break?
• 52:57
  Like what? Everyone's going to be knocking
• 52:58
  at his business store going, I
• 53:01
  Like it's weird. He does seem like that though.
• 53:03
  He seems like that. He kind of seems skeezy, just
• 53:06
  like Kody does in the clip that they showed.
• 53:09
  And I can't judge him based on
• 53:12
  Oh yes, we can. It does look, he sounds like he
• 53:17
  thinks he's got jokes. He's a little bit of a skeeze
• 53:20
  and I got weird vibes from him
• 53:24
  That makes sense. And then we were blessed with a
• 53:27
  commercial break, thank God. And when we return from the
• 53:32
  commercial break, the parents are taking the other kids to
• 53:35
  miniature golf, the ones that aren't up in Utah.
• 53:39
  The Littles. The littles, they're going to
• 53:41
  the little golf course. So each parent goes with a group
• 53:45
  of the littles along the golf course.
• 53:49
  Yes, and we find out a very interesting fact about our
• 53:52
  friend Christine. Well, Kody says miniature golf
• 53:55
  isn't about winning, it's about the process.
• 53:59
  Not quite sure what that means
• 54:03
  how Christine says cheating your
• 54:06
  Yeah, Like, I don't really know.
• 54:07
  This part was weird to me. Like, I'm like, OK, so they joke
• 54:14
  What did you think about this? I thought at first that she was
• 54:17
  referring to Kody cheating and then no no no, no.
• 54:21
  It goes into this whole spiel about how Christina's a cheater
• 54:26
  and how her dad, whenever they were younger or whenever they
• 54:31
  would play games together, if anybody cheated he would quit
• 54:34
  the game immediately and be like, I'm done, we don't cheat.
• 54:38
  So apparently Christine and her
• 54:41
  siblings have learned to cheat
• 54:44
  Right. Which they show us here not very
• 54:48
  well, but the whole premise of
• 54:53
  other kids, I think, other than to get screen time for them, is
• 54:58
  about her cheating. And like a Meri keeps having to
• 55:02
  remind her of her score and call
• 55:08
  score. And I don't think it's
• 55:09
  necessarily that she's cheating as much as she's maybe bad at
• 55:13
  math, to be honest. Yeah, I think the truth is both.
• 55:18
  I think that she's not paying attention and not like adding
• 55:21
  things correctly and then being like, well, I guess I must be
• 55:23
  doing well. And Kody does make a comment
• 55:25
  about how cheating is, about convincing yourself that you're
• 55:28
  not cheating. Like that's what makes you a
• 55:30
  good cheater, because you're actually buying into that.
• 55:32
  You're not. Cheating.
• 55:33
  Believing your own lies. Implying that that's what
• 55:35
  Christine does. Christine does say that her and
• 55:39
  Meri are close in their score and she says we're like a nip
• 55:42
  and a tuck and I'm like a nip and a tuck.
• 55:44
  Since when is that a phrase for being close?
• 55:46
  It's like nip and a tuck is maybe the show nip tuck was on
• 55:50
  at the time. I don't know.
• 55:52
  And so it was a reference to like, maybe it was like totally
• 55:54
  a mix up in what she was saying because I'm like, no, the
• 55:57
  phrase a nip and a tuck is not about being close in score.
• 56:00
  What would be what do you think she was trying to say there?
• 56:04
  Like a hop skip and a jump away.
• 56:07
  I don't know, I. Mean, I I, yeah, just like tiny,
• 56:15
  Odd. It was just weird that she said
• 56:17
  it and then they like just kind of moved on and I'm like, how
• 56:18
  did this even stay in the epics like Nip and a talk?
• 56:22
  Like it's not a nip and a talk
• 56:24
  It was very weird. And now like that we're thinking
• 56:27
  of it. I'm like, what other phrase like
• 56:29
  would you say? And now I can't think of it, of
• 56:31
  course. But yeah, it's just silly.
• 56:33
  Silly. And Kody says he thinks maybe
• 56:36
  Christine didn't cheat on the couch.
• 56:38
  Yeah, he's going to say, oh, it's controvert.
• 56:40
  He says. Oh, it's controversial, but I'm
• 56:43
  going to agree with my wife and say I don't think that
• 56:49
  Christine cheated like like he's trying to.
• 56:52
  And everyone has a pause because
• 56:55
  controversial and the gears are turning.
• 56:57
  And then Janelle jumps in and says yeah, and then they all
• 57:03
  laugh. But it's a funny moment.
• 57:05
  And I literally did laugh out loud 'cause it was funny.
• 57:07
  Like, you know, I was like, I think she cheated.
• 57:09
  And it's like, yes. And Kody's wearing his like
• 57:12
  Prada ish shirt again during the
• 57:16
  Yeah. So I'm either thinking this is
• 57:20
  the same day as they filmed that
• 57:24
  previous episode or he has multiples of this shirt 'cause
• 57:29
  it was hard to tell. The 1st the episode with him and
• 57:32
  Mona it looked khaki, this time around it looked more like
• 57:36
  cream and I'm like did he buy multiples of this like Prada
• 57:40
  shirt? Yeah, to me, it looked like it
• 57:42
  was a lighting thing. Yeah, I thought it was the same
• 57:45
  shirt. OK you know, if it wasn't, then
• 57:47
  yeah, 1 is like khaki and one is
• 57:50
  And it's like this shirt is like
• 57:52
  And it's like, why would you buy
• 57:55
  Like, I don't even believe that Prada made it.
• 57:57
  Like, why would Prada make that shirt?
• 57:59
  Like, doesn't Prada have, like, nice stuff?
• 58:00
  Yeah. So we're.
• 58:01
  Probably really dumb and it's like some weird other brand we
• 58:04
  don't know of but like. If there's another brand that's
• 58:06
  like knock off stupid sold at Kmart that looks like a Prada
• 58:10
  logo then it's that shirt. Yeah, it's just weird because he
• 58:14
  is wearing it and it's almost like he's trying to look a
• 58:17
  certain way and you can tell. Yeah, but it's like an odd
• 58:20
  choice because the shirt is not like, oh, like without that
• 58:24
  little triangle on it, it would just look like any other shirt
• 58:27
  that you would buy anywhere. From him wearing like a striped
• 58:30
  like white and blue shirt every single day of his entire
• 58:33
  goddamn life to now, we've seen this in the last couple
• 58:37
  episodes and it's just another like testament that this
• 58:41
  season there's this like shift almost in the family with like
• 58:46
  the money situation. But only like selectively and
• 58:50
  sporadically because they really don't have money.
• 58:52
  But they do. But they're pretending like they
• 59:00
  some of these moments where the money is coming across and
• 59:04
  it's apparent like the dates where they had the expensive
• 59:09
  dates like the brothers coming to visit now.
• 59:13
  Then you get like the random things like this shirt and this
• 59:17
  like big gaudy jewelry that the women are wearing where it's
• 59:20
  like this show pony type of thing that they didn't do
• 59:24
  before. That's just odd to me.
• 59:27
  So I don't know how to put it other than they look like
• 59:30
  they're trying to shop at the buckle and look a certain way at
• 59:32
  this point in their lives, right?
• 59:34
  Guess and it's random because it's like not everything is lux,
• 59:39
  you know? They're not trying to come
• 59:41
  across as like Real Housewives
• 59:43
  Like it's still frumpy dumpy Browns but then random nice
• 59:47
  things like it's strange. But it's very of this time and
• 59:49
  it's very like small town of this time.
• 59:51
  And I don't want that to sound
• 59:54
  I was that way like at this point in my life.
• 59:56
  And that's why I'm like, I see
• 59:59
  now in this where the kids are
• 1:00:02
  stuff that. You know, I had to ask my mom
• 1:00:05
  like 500 times and now as an adult, I'm like, God, I can't
• 1:00:08
  believe I asked my mom for a freaking Hollister sweatshirt
• 1:00:10
  that was like $85. That's actually like really
• 1:00:14
  shitty of me as a kid, you know,
• 1:00:18
  I knew our financial situation.
• 1:00:20
  And so I get that vibe from them that they're putting on airs a
• 1:00:28
  town, yeah, vibe of it. New money.
• 1:00:32
  New money, Yeah. New money.
• 1:00:34
  Or yeah, trying to pretend money.
• 1:00:36
  Yeah. Amen.
• 1:00:37
  Just odd. And it's another instance of it
• 1:00:40
  that just popped up during mini golf.
• 1:00:42
  Mini golf? Yep, with Kody's Prada shirt.
• 1:00:45
  So we go back to Utah, Grandma Bonnie's house, the kids are
• 1:00:49
  going to go on a hike. Oh, hike.
• 1:00:52
  Yep, and they're talking about how the scenery is just so much
• 1:00:56
  better in Utah. Logan is talking about how
• 1:01:00
  there's just brown and buildings in Vegas, and here they've got
• 1:01:14
  There are parts of Utah that are very beautiful.
• 1:01:17
  One might say God's country, God's.
• 1:01:19
  Country, that's where their split level compound is, is in
• 1:01:26
  one of the children, which is Leon talking about wanting to be
• 1:01:36
  don't do anything with your life.
• 1:01:39
  So interesting kind of teenage stuff, right?
• 1:01:45
  It's almost like there's this traditional, this upbringing,
• 1:01:48
  this path that was, I don't want to say instilled, but Leon
• 1:01:54
  latched onto and identifies with and wants to see.
• 1:01:56
  But then there's also this other side of Leon that's like, I want
• 1:02:02
  And has to point out that being
• 1:02:06
  a sister wife doesn't mean you
• 1:02:08
  life. And there's a reason that you
• 1:02:09
  would point that out. It's like, you know, yeah.
• 1:02:12
  I'm assuming most the women in
• 1:02:17
  they've done in life is serve a man and reproduce a lot if they
• 1:02:23
  can. Yeah, you know that that's their
• 1:02:27
  lot in life. And it's a little weird because
• 1:02:30
  I don't know how to talk about
• 1:02:31
  Sometimes I want to be sensitive
• 1:02:33
  like a stay at home mom or something, it's not to devalue
• 1:02:37
  that as what your time is spent and what you value.
• 1:02:40
  But like there is an element of this is just maxed out.
• 1:02:45
  The sister wife's vibe is maxed out.
• 1:02:46
  Yeah, and there's a place for everybody in this world.
• 1:02:50
  There's like, you know, I've done many things in my day.
• 1:02:55
  I've stayed at home with my first born for 10 months.
• 1:02:59
  I worked and managed my own salon when I was in my 20s,
• 1:03:04
  which was fucking insane. Completely different career path
• 1:03:07
  now. So I don't think that I, I think
• 1:03:12
  where the hard part to talk about this is that it is
• 1:03:16
  surrounded by this religious ideal and the religious ideal of
• 1:03:21
  a woman in this like context. And Mormonism is different.
• 1:03:27
  And that is just the reality of their situation.
• 1:03:31
  And so they feel the need to point it out that they can have
• 1:03:36
  it all. They can have a plural marriage
• 1:03:40
  and also be a doctor, and they're not wrong, but at the
• 1:03:45
  same time. That would be so crazy.
• 1:03:48
  That's super progressive for their religion.
• 1:03:52
  I I don't know. I don't know if you be a doctor
• 1:03:56
  and a plural wife. I mean, Janelle had a career,
• 1:04:00
  but I, I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to say
• 1:04:04
  that it's impossible, but it seems like nearly impossible.
• 1:04:07
  I don't know how you would go to
• 1:04:10
  end up a sister wife. Like it's kind of weird.
• 1:04:12
  Yeah, I don't know, unless you
• 1:04:16
  and everybody supported you through your career path while
• 1:04:20
  you were doing that. And then you come to your family
• 1:04:24
  and maybe you have children and they all pitch in to help take
• 1:04:29
  care of your kids so you can continue being a doctor and
• 1:04:32
  whatever. And I, I personally have friends
• 1:04:35
  that are doctors and have children.
• 1:04:37
  It's not like obviously you can fucking do that, but it's the
• 1:04:41
  religion aspect that I think I
• 1:04:47
  religion to know if the men. Like what kind of plural?
• 1:04:50
  Like a husband? Yeah, would be like, I want my
• 1:04:53
  wife to be a doctor. Yeah, I don't think that.
• 1:04:56
  I don't know. I don't know about the power
• 1:04:58
  imbalance within this religion, if that would allow for that
• 1:05:03
  sort of power imbalance. Yeah, I.
• 1:05:05
  Don't think. But I mean, to be fair, yes, it
• 1:05:08
  could happen. It's not going to happen.
• 1:05:11
  You know, like pigs can fly. Sure, if you shoot him out of a
• 1:05:14
  rocket they can fly, but they're
• 1:05:17
  I do appreciate that Janelle makes a huge point of saying
• 1:05:22
  that their schooling is important.
• 1:05:24
  Their schooling is important because there is something
• 1:05:27
  driving Janelle to say that, and
• 1:05:31
  is so steadfast in the fact that
• 1:05:35
  And I think that it probably comes down to the trope that you
• 1:05:39
  have the babies, you stay at home, you take care of the
• 1:05:41
  homestead and all the, you know,
• 1:05:44
  So, yeah, I do appreciate that
• 1:05:47
  about it and lets these kids know that that can be a reality
• 1:05:52
  for them. Yes.
• 1:05:53
  Yeah. Now these kids, while they're
• 1:05:55
  out hiking, they try to do a picnic out in the fields near a
• 1:06:00
  mountain in Utah. And the wind is blowing down the
• 1:06:04
  plains on the plains. But, you know, like, there's a
• 1:06:07
  lot of wind. And they keep referencing that
• 1:06:09
  it's freezing. It's freezing, Logan says.
• 1:06:11
  It's 35°, but it's not that cold.
• 1:06:14
  Hunter is so pissed. Yes, he's so agitated.
• 1:06:18
  Yeah, it's windy as hell. 25 I
• 1:06:23
  And I don't blame him. I mean, when I was his age, I
• 1:06:25
  would have been like, why are we
• 1:06:27
  I would be like, why are we doing this?
• 1:06:29
  Like, right, we had good intentions.
• 1:06:30
  Now let's go back in the car and
• 1:06:33
  with heat. But you know what Logan tell
• 1:06:34
  you? Man up, Christopher.
• 1:06:36
  He said. You guys need to get a big glass
• 1:06:38
  of man the fuck up. Yeah.
• 1:06:41
  Man the fuck, man the fuck. Oh, so Logan is trying to be
• 1:06:46
  cool, but he's obviously a little frustrated with Hunter.
• 1:06:51
  Like he's growing frustrated. He's the oldest.
• 1:06:54
  He feels like responsibility. There's other times too.
• 1:06:57
  Like remember, there's like, you
• 1:06:59
  Appleseed, like he he kind of tries to make Hunter be like
• 1:07:03
  Buck up or like, don't be anti just for the sake of being
• 1:07:07
  anti. And I get that.
• 1:07:09
  Right. But it's also like, Oh my God,
• 1:07:13
  Like, you don't have to be daddy disciplinarian, you know?
• 1:07:16
  Yeah, they go to the parents on the couch again, and they're
• 1:07:20
  talking about how Logan has been swearing a lot lately.
• 1:07:24
  Like a lot, apparently. Fucking Logan.
• 1:07:27
  Yeah, fucking Logan. So this is the irony of Leon
• 1:07:32
  shirt, Yes? Right, coming back in.
• 1:07:35
  Oh God, and Christine is upset about this?
• 1:07:38
  Oh God, Christine. Christine says that he should be
• 1:07:44
  Yes, F bomb on them. Not to F bomb on them.
• 1:07:48
  And this is so weird because we were just talking about in the
• 1:08:00
  of like, what are you doing? Like, where is she?
• 1:08:03
  What is happening? It's like we had those episodes
• 1:08:05
  where she was doing this shit with Robyn, apologetic,
• 1:08:08
  apologetic, kneeling down, kissing the ring.
• 1:08:11
  I'm so bad. I'm so terrible.
• 1:08:12
  And then it's like there's no storyline from her other than
• 1:08:16
  these weird kind of comments and things.
• 1:08:20
  And I'm going like, it'll be interesting to see because there
• 1:08:30
  I think she says she was on pills for like 2 weeks.
• 1:08:34
  I mean, it's literally like it's literally.
• 1:08:36
  Like girl, it's fine. Like, yeah, like, OK, one of
• 1:08:39
  your kids said what's going on with you, and that was that.
• 1:08:43
  But like, something's happening with her right now.
• 1:08:46
  And I don't know. You know, we do reference how?
• 1:08:53
  saying all these things about you and now Christine is quite
• 1:08:59
  She's got nothing to say except for that Logan shouldn't be
• 1:09:03
  dropping F bombs and whatever. She's not cheating on the golf
• 1:09:08
  She. Literally is like not to F bomb
• 1:09:11
  on them and it's just the weirdest comment and they don't
• 1:09:15
  have storylines for her lately and it is off brand for her.
• 1:09:19
  I want to say almost to not be not cool with the swearing.
• 1:09:22
  I don't think that she needs to be cool with the swearing, but
• 1:09:30
  would not care. It seems like that would be
• 1:09:32
  something Meri would be upset about and then Leon's over here
• 1:09:36
  wearing the bull shirt. Bull Shirt.
• 1:09:39
  Bull Shirt. So the situation here is just a
• 1:09:43
  little flipped. Then Kody has to let us know
• 1:09:47
  that he's always instilled in his son to be a gentleman.
• 1:09:52
  I've instilled in him to be a gentleman.
• 1:09:55
  Well, that's nice. Like whatever that means to you,
• 1:10:01
  Thanks Kody. After Christine talks about F
• 1:10:04
  bombing all over them. F bombing on them.
• 1:10:07
  Logan should be there to inspire them not to F bomb on them.
• 1:10:12
  What the fuck. Then they transition to a couch
• 1:10:15
  moment where the teenagers are chatting and Logan says that
• 1:10:18
  Leon doesn't swear as much as everyone else and Hunter makes a
• 1:10:25
  swearing, which I love it. This is that brother thing.
• 1:10:28
  Like Logan is trying to daddy Big Dick do whatever to his
• 1:10:34
  younger brother and Hunter's going like, well, you're the one
• 1:10:40
  And it's like like they're just going back and forth.
• 1:10:43
  They're becoming young men, territorial, all the things.
• 1:10:46
  And I just I happen to really like both of them.
• 1:10:49
  So I think they should both swear and not swear and do
• 1:10:52
  whatever they want. Whatever they want.
• 1:10:54
  They're both cute and they both have, like, good vibes, trying
• 1:10:59
  The whole swearing shows a lack of intelligence comment is
• 1:11:02
  something that a lot of people say and a lot of parents say to
• 1:11:06
  their kids. And it's kind of the way to get
• 1:11:10
  people to stop swearing. And you know, what I have to say
• 1:11:21
  forth and they are so serious. And Leon holds themselves to a
• 1:11:27
  And like you said, I mean, Leon does have that like nose up in
• 1:11:33
  As they are in an environment, it's like you can feel the like
• 1:11:37
  judgement. Right.
• 1:11:39
  Yeah, and all I have to say to that is bull shirt.
• 1:11:42
  Bull Shirt. Bull shirt Leon.
• 1:11:44
  The irony of that shirt throughout this episode is just
• 1:11:50
  great. It is great and we need to grab
• 1:11:54
  a still of Leon coming out of that bathroom.
• 1:11:57
  It was it was iconic. Yes, it is.
• 1:12:01
  Iconic it is, definitely. It should be a moment that
• 1:12:04
  people talk about. Yeah, especially in the Sister
• 1:12:08
  about the bull shirt and that's ridiculous.
• 1:12:10
  It's amazing. It is amazing.
• 1:12:12
  So the kids are eventually blown away from the mountain because
• 1:12:19
  level compound in God's country. Oh boy.
• 1:12:22
  And Meri's sister Rebecca will let them in.
• 1:12:24
  Oh, and so this is their first time going back.
• 1:12:27
  I don't know if it's the first time.
• 1:12:29
  Did they say it's their first time?
• 1:12:30
  It seems like it's their first. Time.
• 1:12:32
  I think it's their first time going back since the house has
• 1:12:37
  there. Meri's sister is living there in
• 1:12:42
  Right. They don't really make that
• 1:12:44
  clear. And later on there, there's some
• 1:12:50
  Meri's sister, there are relatives.
• 1:12:52
  So I don't know that it's Meri's
• 1:12:54
  lives there. She might have just been there
• 1:12:56
  to let them in, but relatives are living in the house.
• 1:13:00
  It's interesting. The house is very clean, very
• 1:13:02
  organized. The kids are all joking about
• 1:13:05
  how weird it is and how it never
• 1:13:07
  lived there. Which was so great because
• 1:13:09
  remember when they did the transition from current day to
• 1:13:12
  when they were living there and it was like.
• 1:13:14
  They did a flashback. Yeah, there was not really that
• 1:13:17
  much difference. And literally when I say
• 1:13:18
  transition is because they literally gradient transition
• 1:13:21
  from current to past and it was like so the furniture is
• 1:13:25
  slightly less shitty and there's
• 1:13:29
  It just look it looks like someone took a broom.
• 1:13:32
  I think the couches were still
• 1:13:35
  ended up leaving a bunch of stuff there because they
• 1:13:37
  couldn't pack it all. So the couches were the same.
• 1:13:40
  The there were cubbies on one wall and you could tell that
• 1:13:44
  there was children's things like
• 1:13:48
  nicely. Like a little Tykes picnic table
• 1:13:50
  thing, A little plastic one. Like OK, but it's not like for
• 1:13:55
  me, based on the footage, I wouldn't go there and be like,
• 1:13:58
  wow, it's a whole new space. It's like it looks like someone
• 1:14:00
  literally just like, cleaned. Which yeah, to be fair, someone
• 1:14:04
  always needed to be cleaning there.
• 1:14:05
  And on top of it, a show isn't
• 1:14:09
  while the entire family is living here.
• 1:14:11
  You're coming here to shoot a scene, a scene.
• 1:14:14
  And we know that you're coming.
• 1:14:16
  So if our house looks like shit in this moment when we know that
• 1:14:23
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, there's this.
• 1:14:25
  That's the thing. I mean, Christine, Oh God, I
• 1:14:27
  can't even get into the filth of this.
• 1:14:29
  Like, this isn't Room writers. We're not like, surprising them,
• 1:14:33
  No, no, Christine knew there was camera crews coming and her
• 1:14:36
  place still looked how it looked.
• 1:14:38
  But true, I need to move on with my life.
• 1:14:40
  So Logan says that the kids all thought they'd be moving back
• 1:14:44
  within a few months when they originally moved to Vegas.
• 1:14:47
  So that was an interesting bit that, I mean, we could surmise
• 1:14:54
  out, like we all thought we'd be back here pretty quickly.
• 1:14:57
  And it's like, I wonder if that was just like, teenage optimism
• 1:15:00
  because, like, what else could have been there?
• 1:15:02
  I was literally wondering the same thing, like do you what do
• 1:15:05
  you think gave them that idea? Or was that just optimism and
• 1:15:10
  just hope that they were hanging on to?
• 1:15:14
  Because none of the adults ever even alluded to or hinted to in
• 1:15:18
  any filming that they were going.
• 1:15:20
  To perhaps could have, she was really dragging her feet and
• 1:15:25
  really upset about it and kind of didn't believe it till they
• 1:15:31
  She literally needed to be convinced.
• 1:15:33
  It was like the day before they were going to leave.
• 1:15:35
  And she's like, well, I guess we're going like.
• 1:15:37
  So who's to say that maybe one of the parents wasn't, one of
• 1:15:42
  the moms wasn't making comments like to the kids like, well,
• 1:15:45
  we'll see if this pans out because as we've heard,
• 1:15:50
  especially from these older children, they're used to being
• 1:15:53
  let down and they don't believe their parents anymore.
• 1:15:55
  And it would be very on brand based on what we learned through
• 1:16:02
  page. You know, like, oh, we're all
• 1:16:03
  going to do this thing, but then they're probably saying
• 1:16:05
  different things to different people.
• 1:16:06
  They just keep talking about this house like it's an axe.
• 1:16:10
  Yeah, That they, like, have these fond memories of and they
• 1:16:13
  want to go back to. And their life was just so much
• 1:16:16
  better and golden. Well, Kimber, it was a special
• 1:16:21
  house, Meri tells us. The parents start talking about
• 1:16:23
  it again too. They go back to the parents and
• 1:16:25
  the parents are going on and on again about the home.
• 1:16:27
  Yeah, Meri talks about living under one roof and Kody having
• 1:16:33
  I mean, they literally are in four different homes with some
• 1:16:39
  That's quite a bit different, I mean.
• 1:16:41
  Kody says it was their best experience in that house as a
• 1:16:44
  family like that. He thought it was their best
• 1:16:46
  time. Other people say that in this
• 1:16:48
  footage as well. They keep cutting between the
• 1:16:51
  older children and the parents and at one point Leon's crying
• 1:17:02
  them makes a comment about how he misses doing the bed checks
• 1:17:10
  again every night. Which as a parent, tugs at the
• 1:17:17
  being able to say goodnight to my kids every night.
• 1:17:20
  And it's almost like they're living as divorced parents in a
• 1:17:25
  way, with these families being split up.
• 1:17:29
  And I actually think that he understands and feels something
• 1:17:33
  about it with the comment he made.
• 1:17:36
  Which is interesting juxtaposed to the usual like deadbeat dad
• 1:17:45
  diapers. That man thinks that he's
• 1:17:47
  babysitting his own kids. For sure.
• 1:17:50
  So this is an odd. Maybe it's the like inner
• 1:17:54
  narcissist saying what he knows should be said.
• 1:17:58
  Something about it didn't really tug at my heartstrings.
• 1:18:01
  I guess it's because I'm not a parent as well.
• 1:18:04
  What tugged on my heartstrings more was this conversation that
• 1:18:08
  Leon and Maddie were having back at the compound where Leon
• 1:18:11
  says that they are sad because of all the memories and Leon is
• 1:18:16
  crying and Maddie is tearing up and wiping tears.
• 1:18:19
  And I've I had a little overklamp moment.
• 1:18:21
  Like I was like, Oh my gosh. Like just seeing people be
• 1:18:26
  reminiscent of a better time and like looking favorably upon a
• 1:18:31
  place and the memories. And that's what tugged in my
• 1:18:34
  heartstrings. Well, and that just speaks to
• 1:18:37
  our differences, right? You grew up in a house and your
• 1:18:40
  parents still own that home. Yes, they're in there today.
• 1:18:42
  If they sold it, I would be there crying.
• 1:18:44
  I would be there crying. Yeah, whereas I moved a lot when
• 1:18:51
  I didn't live in my childhood home.
• 1:18:52
  The longest home that I lived in was like 6th grade through
• 1:18:57
  senior year of high school, which might seem like a long
• 1:19:00
  time, but when you're moved around a lot when you're
• 1:19:03
  younger, I didn't feel super attached to that home, right?
• 1:19:06
  I mean, minus the fact that they were for sure ghosts there,
• 1:19:09
  right? There was the.
• 1:19:12
  Ghost, I was ready. Like I didn't feel super
• 1:19:14
  attached to it. I was sad probably at the time,
• 1:19:17
  but that was probably more related to other things in my
• 1:19:21
  life that were changing such as turning 18 and graduating and
• 1:19:26
  divorce happening. Like in the house being sold.
• 1:19:28
  It was more related to other stuff, but like seeing Leon sad
• 1:19:34
  about this, I didn't resonate with it quite so much because I
• 1:19:40
  guess I'd never really had that.
• 1:19:41
  Yeah, I had that attached. Yeah.
• 1:19:43
  Yeah. But you have kids and so you're
• 1:19:45
  imagining not saying goodnight
• 1:19:48
  going. That's a big deal.
• 1:19:50
  Him saying the thing about the
• 1:19:53
  with me. And I'm like, Oh, yeah, this is
• 1:19:57
  a moment for him that I feel he's actually connected to the
• 1:20:00
  children. I feel like before this, it's
• 1:20:03
  always been like, oh, the wives and the this and the driving
• 1:20:06
  and whatever, but. That comment about the kids
• 1:20:09
  really was like OK he is thinking about them for fucking
• 1:20:14
  once. Maybe once.
• 1:20:14
  They don't know. Maybe, yeah.
• 1:20:16
  Yeah, I don't know. Anyway.
• 1:20:17
  Kody says that he hopes the four
• 1:20:20
  everyone can feel like a family again.
• 1:20:22
  Which is once again paralleling this dynamic of like, they're a
• 1:20:26
  family, but it feels like 4 family units.
• 1:20:29
  Like they don't actually. Even as an outsider just
• 1:20:32
  watching this footage, they seem
• 1:20:35
  things. They're not really living as a
• 1:20:36
  family. Well, and the kids that are all
• 1:20:39
  visiting Utah grew up a very different way than the younger
• 1:20:43
  kids are growing up now. So there's this juxtaposition of
• 1:20:48
  those kids being in Utah and the
• 1:20:52
  things. And then you're going back to
• 1:20:53
  the mini golf and the chaos and the separation and everything
• 1:20:57
  and it I will say that the editors, I think did a decent
• 1:21:02
  job with this episode, especially towards the end,
• 1:21:05
  cutting back and forth between the older children and the
• 1:21:08
  parents. Yeah, so I think so too.
• 1:21:10
  Yeah. And we didn't talk about this
• 1:21:13
  earlier, but I am curious why Aspen didn't go back up to Utah
• 1:21:18
  like Christine's. None of Christine's children
• 1:21:21
  went, neither Aspen nor Mckelty, and they're older ones.
• 1:21:24
  They didn't even show them in this episode, did they?
• 1:21:27
  No, I mean, if anything, I mean maybe like Isabelle or what?
• 1:21:31
  Like, yeah, like, no, the older kids didn't get any footage from
• 1:21:36
  Yeah, but it was all the little kids.
• 1:21:38
  It wasn't about the children, it was about Christine cheating.
• 1:21:41
  Yes, and the only clips literally I think was like
• 1:21:44
  Isabelle and Gwendolyn like swinging a club like there was
• 1:21:51
  that was pretty funny. Yeah.
• 1:21:54
  So I mean, curious about that because even at the beginning of
• 1:22:04
  going on with her. Maybe.
• 1:22:06
  Yeah, maybe is. What's going on with the kids?
• 1:22:11
  stay home and watch the children because Christine's not capable
• 1:22:14
  of it. Something's going on.
• 1:22:16
  Something's going. Something is going on.
• 1:22:19
  Yeah, with Christine, something's going on.
• 1:22:21
  Yeah, I it's interesting because obviously she says in her book
• 1:22:30
  And yeah. That's why I this rewatch is.
• 1:22:33
  Rewatch is. Interesting.
• 1:22:34
  Like it's fucking crazy. This is.
• 1:22:36
  The first time I watched the show, I would not.
• 1:22:38
  I would have been like, OK, whatever.
• 1:22:39
  Like you're just observing these things.
• 1:22:41
  Like maybe they had something run on with school and they
• 1:22:44
  couldn't leave. But no, it was spring break and.
• 1:22:47
  Yeah. Very interesting.
• 1:22:49
  So then Maddie and Logan make a comment that they hope that the
• 1:22:52
  kids, the younger kids, get the same feeling from the four
• 1:22:56
  homes in Vegas that they had when they lived in Utah.
• 1:23:00
  And they really draw it back to.
• 1:23:02
  In the split level, compound the split.
• 1:23:04
  Level compound. And that's how they wrap up the
• 1:23:07
  episode. And you're right, there is a
• 1:23:08
  good tie in with the adults and the kids and this back and
• 1:23:11
  forth. It's funny because it's probably
• 1:23:14
  It's just that we're so used to this normal shit that it's
• 1:23:18
  like, yeah, OK, so this was actually just what you would
• 1:23:20
  expect in a show. And we're like did a really
• 1:23:22
  great job. Well, the randomness of the
• 1:23:26
  jewelry and the randomness of the mini golf, when you think of
• 1:23:30
  the grand scheme of it, it probably could have been better
• 1:23:33
  to show more of the little kids life with the parents.
• 1:23:37
  Yeah, Yeah. So.
• 1:23:39
  Interesting episode. Interesting.
• 1:23:41
  I'm not mad. I'm not mad at it.
• 1:23:42
  Not mad at it. I'm not.
• 1:23:43
  I think it was a heavy hitter at
• 1:23:47
  the feelings of the feelings of everyone.
• 1:23:50
  Feelings. Yes, mustard seed.
• 1:23:57
  OK, mustard seed. Oh my goodness, I am going to
• 1:24:02
  have to go with Leon. I think that Leon's reaction to
• 1:24:13
  the prank was amazing. It embodied Meri.
• 1:24:18
  Oh God, yes, it's totally dead.
• 1:24:21
  And the bull shirt, The bull shirt.
• 1:24:24
  The bull shirt. Yes, yes.
• 1:24:25
  And the peek out of the bathroom that we got from Leon with the
• 1:24:35
  I think it was before the time of memes, otherwise it would
• 1:24:39
  have been one. Yes.
• 1:24:41
  Yes, it was gold. Yes, loved it.
• 1:24:44
  Leon, that is a good choice. I'm going to give my mustard
• 1:24:51
  seed to Logan because I think that Logan, I have a soft spot
• 1:25:05
  to be leaving the home, going to college, like planning future
• 1:25:15
  trip somewhere to look at our old house, like I would have
• 1:25:18
  been like, fuck you. I'm getting stoned and listening
• 1:25:27
  So I I've got to give it to Logan.
• 1:25:30
  And I feel like this episode was a little like no one stood out
• 1:25:38
  and Logan are good choices. So now, shit stain darling,
• 1:25:42
  who's going to put a smear in your panties tonight?
• 1:25:45
  That Hershey square in my underwear is going to be Robyn.
• 1:25:52
  Oh yes, Robyn deserves it.
• 1:25:55
  Oh. God, multiple reasons.
• 1:25:57
  She deserves this. She.
• 1:25:58
  Wasn't even that bad this episode, she's just terrible in
• 1:26:02
  general. Her drawings.
• 1:26:04
  The drawings. Were literally stains on a
• 1:26:06
  piece. Of paper.
• 1:26:08
  They were literally pieces of poop on graph.
• 1:26:10
  Paper yeah she could have just
• 1:26:14
  wiped it off and made those like
• 1:26:18
  yes also I have to say my number
• 1:26:26
  a shit stay in this episode is how thrilled and giddy she was
• 1:26:32
  sitting on that couch when she
• 1:26:38
  being chosen for the family yeah
• 1:26:43
  Money, yeah. Do you think she asked for a
• 1:26:47
  larger stipend than the rest of the sisters in that moment for
• 1:26:53
  the jewelry thing? I don't think so.
• 1:26:55
  I think it's more about well, as
• 1:27:00
  leverage her work with my sister wife's closet into other
• 1:27:06
  things. She basically like uses it to
• 1:27:09
  manipulate Kody like, oh, I'm so busy with this business, I'm not
• 1:27:15
  bullshit. So I think I personally don't
• 1:27:19
  think it's about the money, I think it's about the power.
• 1:27:23
  Yeah, I wouldn't put it past her to say at some point that she
• 1:27:27
  thinks that she deserves more money from the business than the
• 1:27:35
  And they're her designs originally and that's the power
• 1:27:39
  thing and whatever. But her smug face and just she
• 1:27:50
  oh, why? This is just the best thing that
• 1:27:58
  gross. Definitely definitely agree with
• 1:28:10
  Kody Brown tried to encourage Meri for her strong women
• 1:28:16
  comment which was fake as fuck. His encouragement was fake as
• 1:28:20
  fuck. He's so transparent and like
• 1:28:23
  even the way he talks about things sometimes.
• 1:28:26
  You know, with the kids going to bed thing, I just don't believe
• 1:28:33
  him. I just don't believe him.
• 1:28:37
  He's always jockeying and making himself appear a certain way to
• 1:28:41
  people. And this episode, even though
• 1:28:43
  there's not really a whole list of things that I have for him, I
• 1:28:50
  inauthentic, unlikable, supporting Robyn blind.
• 1:28:53
  If anyone else had this idea, he'd be like poo, poo, poo poo.
• 1:28:56
  Like if Meri was like, I want to
• 1:28:58
  make jewelry, he'd be like, I'm going to find 15 reasons this
• 1:29:00
  is wrong. But because Robyn wants to do
• 1:29:01
  it, he's like, good job, mayor.
• 1:29:03
  Oh my God everyone's supporting this like so crazy.
• 1:29:06
  Good job, Rob. Good job, Rob.
• 1:29:09
  I I agree there too. I think that he's like, oh, the
• 1:29:14
  cost and the this and the that. And you can tell in that whole
• 1:29:27
  about this with Janelle multiple times based on the the way that
• 1:29:32
  she responds afterwards by saying why it's going to make
• 1:29:36
  them money faster and be better. And then Robyn sitting there all
• 1:29:43
  He obviously favored her idea over the gym.
• 1:29:46
  And I don't think it's really for the startup costs, but I I
• 1:29:53
  beginnings of like Robyn and Kody versus the world or
• 1:29:56
  whatever. Yeah, versus the other sister,
• 1:30:01
  Not the way it should be. So fucked up.
• 1:30:03
