1 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,800 What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done. 2 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,880 Goodbye. You shut it off. 3 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,840 Do not twist my words. Do not make me a victim. 4 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,680 Sweetie, Just look at the mountain. 5 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,200 That's what you saw that day. Just the knife in the kidneys 6 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,439 over all these years and the sacrifices that I made to love 7 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:50,720 you. Season 5 episode 8 hard to say 8 00:00:50,720 --> 00:01:00,000 goodbye goodbye. It started out well, but you 9 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520 know, it's just kind of like a lot of our sister wives journey. 10 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,280 Who knows where it's going to end. 11 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,480 This is the season finale of season 5. 12 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,880 I hope you're ready. Buckle up because it's a 13 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,360 moderate ride. A little bit of housekeeping to 14 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,360 start the episode. I recently saw a notification 15 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:26,880 from Spotify come in saying that based on the number of listens 16 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,880 and listener hours and all of that, like the stats, the 17 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,320 analytics for our show, that other shows that get as many 18 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:37,480 plays as ours have four times as many followers. 19 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,000 Now this is a stat that I'm not mad at because that actually 20 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,480 means that plenty of people are listening to our show in 21 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,400 comparison to people that are following. 22 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,257 So another show has like 4 times as many followers as 23 00:01:51,257 --> 00:01:54,714 subscribers as us on average get the same number of plays as 24 00:01:54,714 --> 00:01:58,020 us. The ask that I have with this 25 00:01:58,028 --> 00:02:01,879 little bit of housekeeping is that if you listen to our show 26 00:02:01,887 --> 00:02:04,547 every week, but you're not following, you haven't 27 00:02:04,555 --> 00:02:07,147 subscribed, you just see it come up every week. 28 00:02:07,155 --> 00:02:08,949 Well, we love that and we appreciate it. 29 00:02:08,958 --> 00:02:14,055 But if you wouldn't mind taking this minute to go hit follow or 30 00:02:14,055 --> 00:02:18,040 subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or YouTube or wherever 31 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,060 you're listening to us right now, it would be awesome. 32 00:02:21,068 --> 00:02:24,282 And we would really appreciate it because that does give us 33 00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:27,550 some boost in the algorithm, you know, shows us to other people 34 00:02:27,558 --> 00:02:29,246 that are listening to like shows. 35 00:02:29,254 --> 00:02:32,072 And it would just be really helpful. 36 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,002 And realistically, there are other shows I listen to where 37 00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:38,250 they beat people over the head every week to like, follow and 38 00:02:38,258 --> 00:02:40,024 do whatever. And we don't do that. 39 00:02:40,032 --> 00:02:43,759 We don't do that. This is just our once a season. 40 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:45,840 Ask to please follow and 41 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560 subscribe if you haven't already, even though you're 42 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,280 listening. And we appreciate the listens, 43 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,360 of course. Please like and follow and 44 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,160 subscribe. Yes, absolutely. 45 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,400 Through that home skillet. Thank you anyway. 46 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,800 I'm like some O'Brien potatoes, you know, some onions and some 47 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,320 Peppers in there. You know, I would actually liken 48 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:11,320 you to some Groton potatoes. Or what did we? 49 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,320 I think I'm all kinds of. Potatoes. 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,880 The kinds of the boxed potatoes are better, even though you 51 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,800 think that the homemade ones would be better, but not the box 52 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,040 ones are better, baby. And that's us all the way. 53 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,800 And I could be any kind of spud you want. 54 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,800 Any kind at all. I'm flexible when it comes to 55 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,320 potatoes. Frami Dami laid to the side me 56 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,920 like Meri's hair. And Meri's hair was definitely 57 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,760 abundant. And here. 58 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,200 In this episode. Lots of Meri's hair. 59 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,041 Screaming for help as per usual. 60 00:03:44,049 --> 00:03:47,174 As per usual. Oh man. 61 00:03:47,182 --> 00:03:51,525 So to start this episode, we are of course, going to be talking 62 00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:55,019 about the homes because, you know, as you said when we were 63 00:03:55,027 --> 00:03:57,556 watching the show, like we're talking about the homes, we're 64 00:03:57,564 --> 00:03:59,757 talking about Meri being preggers or not preggers. 65 00:03:59,765 --> 00:04:03,125 It's like, Oh my God, how many seasons do we have to wrap 66 00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:06,360 talking about this same stuff? Well, we get the recap. 67 00:04:06,368 --> 00:04:08,954 We hear about Logan's UNLV announcement. 68 00:04:08,962 --> 00:04:16,029 We hear about Meri's French doors and not having the gliding 69 00:04:16,029 --> 00:04:18,492 doors. And Kody says what's with the 70 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,918 gliding doors or the sliding doors or the French doors or the 71 00:04:21,918 --> 00:04:24,855 this doors or the that doors like the French fries or the 72 00:04:24,863 --> 00:04:27,816 what kind of fries that you want Meri with your doors. 73 00:04:27,824 --> 00:04:32,122 We hear about Christine and how the family is falling apart and 74 00:04:32,122 --> 00:04:36,698 failing as a family, but the recap this time is actually, 75 00:04:36,706 --> 00:04:39,216 like, useful. No, this is the stuff that. 76 00:04:39,224 --> 00:04:41,956 They actually touch on. It is the last episode of the 77 00:04:41,964 --> 00:04:45,038 season 2 so I guess they probably had to be tip top. 78 00:04:45,046 --> 00:04:48,208 Oh gosh, but we got to hear about these doors again. 79 00:04:48,216 --> 00:04:51,770 Oh yes, well this is it. The episode starts with the 80 00:04:51,778 --> 00:04:53,247 adults arriving at Pinnacle Homes. 81 00:04:53,255 --> 00:04:56,560 We're going back to Pinnacle Homes to make our choices, 82 00:04:56,568 --> 00:05:00,681 particularly when it comes to carpets and tile. 83 00:05:00,689 --> 00:05:03,920 Finalizing the options. Yes, of course. 84 00:05:03,928 --> 00:05:06,360 And we're meeting with Mona and Lynette. 85 00:05:06,368 --> 00:05:09,760 Lynette, who I don't recall meeting before. 86 00:05:09,768 --> 00:05:13,445 I heard Lana. There's Lana, they say Lana but 87 00:05:13,445 --> 00:05:17,501 Lynette is the bottom third. So her full name is Lynette and 88 00:05:17,501 --> 00:05:19,915 I do, I do tend towards the formal. 89 00:05:19,923 --> 00:05:22,252 As we know on this podcast, I'm a sophisticated woman. 90 00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:26,080 So Lynette is how I will refer to Lana because that is her 91 00:05:26,088 --> 00:05:28,422 God-given name. And Mona and Lynette let Kody 92 00:05:28,430 --> 00:05:31,860 know that they could be moving in during the month of December. 93 00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:33,840 When Kody asks about, you know, 94 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,960 when is it that we're likely to be able to move in? 95 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,840 When could we be in? And they did agree that December 96 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:41,560 is realistic. And this is setting us up for 97 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,800 our timeline. But Kody wants to do all of the 98 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,720 moves everyone at once. Well, that would be ideal for 99 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960 According to him, the entire family's moved in before 100 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Christmas. He doesn't care if they're doing 101 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,200 Christmas out of boxes, which we later find out in the show 102 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,280 down the road that Kody is quite the Bah humbug. 103 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,840 He's a little anti Christmas, which is funny because he's such 104 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,760 a Christ follower. Well, he's kind of like the 105 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,360 Antichrist, so yeah. So it does fit. 106 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,160 Yeah. At one point when they're 107 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800 talking about this, Christine says that she doesn't even care 108 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,960 about Christmas. She just wants to close. 109 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,840 Because now we're going to talk about, you know, the process of 110 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:24,880 these, the pre approvals and the approvals and blah blah blah. 111 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,280 And for some reason Christine is just a mess about all of this. 112 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:32,040 She says that she's up at 3:00 AM everyday stressing about all 113 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,440 of the things. It's incredibly stupid how 114 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,600 perfect I have to look on paperwork on. 115 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,560 Paper and it's so funny because it's like, well, anyone that's 116 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,800 been through a pre qualification process on a mortgage and even 117 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,257 anybody who's applied for a loan or whatever it's like, yeah, 118 00:06:48,257 --> 00:06:50,760 you can't look like a fucking disaster for your paperwork. 119 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,840 Like it's not big deal. It's not a big dull. 120 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,800 It's not a big dull, but it is a big bill. 121 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,840 I know when it comes to. Her, it's definitely a big dull. 122 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,640 And Kody tells her like, well, we're all doing that. 123 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,040 And of course, all the wives have to have some visual 124 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,080 reaction to Kody being unsupportive in his comments 125 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,688 about how we're all doing that. 126 00:07:09,696 --> 00:07:13,100 He can't just validate. Christie, you, you just suck at 127 00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:17,240 validating and I don't know, I just have a slight personal 128 00:07:17,248 --> 00:07:20,045 issue with people just validating everyone all the time 129 00:07:20,045 --> 00:07:22,229 and that's something that I have to work on. 130 00:07:22,237 --> 00:07:24,622 I need to validate. But he literally never does it. 131 00:07:24,622 --> 00:07:26,560 Well, it's I, I like to validate 132 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,360 people with their rights. I, I don't really subscribe to 133 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,760 the idea of just validating everyone all the time. 134 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,160 It feels like an empty practice that makes me feel like people 135 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,680 are not being honest when they're just validating people 136 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,160 all the time. That's just an opinion that I 137 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,720 have and I don't really think that Christine needs to be super 138 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680 validated considering they're all doing the same thing. 139 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,440 I just think she's stressed out because she's very naive and 140 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,960 this is the first time that she's had to like do something 141 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,360 on her own. And then Kody says we had to pre 142 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,840 qualify, but there's no guarantee we get into this. 143 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,240 But it's looking very good. But he just kind of harps on the 144 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,583 fact that she's not the only one and they're all in the same 145 00:08:10,583 --> 00:08:13,560 boat and he has to make it about him. 146 00:08:13,568 --> 00:08:16,463 But then he also brings in everyone else. 147 00:08:16,471 --> 00:08:21,544 So it's not, you can't just say, oh, he just brought it back to 148 00:08:21,552 --> 00:08:24,255 him this time, right? But he does, in a sense. 149 00:08:24,263 --> 00:08:26,700 I mean, he may look like an insensitive asshole. 150 00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:29,605 I'm just saying I'd probably be in the same boat. 151 00:08:29,613 --> 00:08:32,294 I'd probably be going listen girl, we're all trying to 152 00:08:32,302 --> 00:08:34,365 prequalify. Like, well, she's also studying 153 00:08:34,365 --> 00:08:38,924 for this exam probably at this time, you know, and she's on her 154 00:08:38,924 --> 00:08:42,192 own and she's actually. True, she's already one of Las 155 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,342 Vegas's most pristine Realtors. Yes, I think that what would 156 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:50,990 have been kind of him at this point is to be like, that is 157 00:08:50,998 --> 00:08:53,860 stressful. And you know, I'm sorry that 158 00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:58,055 you're feeling the stress and we all can't wait for it to be 159 00:08:58,063 --> 00:08:59,288 over. Oh, wow. 160 00:08:59,296 --> 00:09:01,880 Like, come on. That's how you do some 161 00:09:01,888 --> 00:09:03,552 validating. That's how you do some 162 00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,224 validating while also saying everyone else is feeling it. 163 00:09:06,232 --> 00:09:10,710 Like like you can validate but also say, yes, we're on the same 164 00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:13,040 page as you, but hey, guess what? 165 00:09:13,048 --> 00:09:15,982 Christine wouldn't know that they're on the same page because 166 00:09:15,982 --> 00:09:18,032 they don't fucking talk to each other. 167 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,107 Straight up, Straight up. So. 168 00:09:20,115 --> 00:09:24,140 Lynette suggests that all the wives make their choices 169 00:09:24,148 --> 00:09:27,890 individually because that would make things a little more easy, 170 00:09:27,890 --> 00:09:30,735 keep things moving along, which does make sense. 171 00:09:30,743 --> 00:09:33,416 Everyone leaves the room except for Robyn and Kody. 172 00:09:33,424 --> 00:09:36,300 She suggests we start with Robyn because it's like the first 173 00:09:36,308 --> 00:09:38,848 dinner spreadsheet or. Something she wants to each wife 174 00:09:38,848 --> 00:09:41,850 to go in order of the lots to pick their. 175 00:09:41,858 --> 00:09:45,862 Options oh the lot order which? Yeah, we're going to go around 176 00:09:45,870 --> 00:09:49,320 in the lot order because it makes it easier for Lana. 177 00:09:49,328 --> 00:09:51,620 The helmet head bubble haired Lana. 178 00:09:51,628 --> 00:09:56,560 Do you think that her head looks like a helmet? 179 00:09:56,568 --> 00:09:58,980 Maybe. Oh, her name is Lana and she's 180 00:09:58,988 --> 00:10:01,495 at it again. She's raising rock is like a 181 00:10:01,503 --> 00:10:04,340 bone out here. Her hair looks like a bubble. 182 00:10:04,348 --> 00:10:06,500 She's caused a lot of trouble. What's up? 183 00:10:06,508 --> 00:10:08,094 Who's there? It's Lana. 184 00:10:08,102 --> 00:10:12,800 Hey, I don't know. AKA Lynette Kody is not excited 185 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,143 about picking carpet colors. He's basically just here to be 186 00:10:17,151 --> 00:10:20,358 supportive. He'd like to be just hurrying 187 00:10:20,366 --> 00:10:22,334 things through, just getting it done. 188 00:10:22,342 --> 00:10:25,250 I don't know if he gave us any precious pearls with this. 189 00:10:25,258 --> 00:10:28,512 I didn't note anything specific. Kody wants to hurry through and 190 00:10:28,512 --> 00:10:32,600 get it all done. He said that he is there to just 191 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,218 help validate their carpet colors. 192 00:10:34,226 --> 00:10:39,960 No, he just wants to validate what they've chosen to get it 193 00:10:39,968 --> 00:10:42,869 done, son. See now this is where I can't. 194 00:10:42,877 --> 00:10:45,780 I hate to be Team Kody, but I'm not team Kody. 195 00:10:45,788 --> 00:10:48,828 I just it sucks when you say something that aligns with 196 00:10:48,836 --> 00:10:51,398 someone that is so despicable. But he can't validate Christine, 197 00:10:51,398 --> 00:10:54,110 but he wants to validate the carpet colors to get it out for 198 00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:56,348 wins. Like, all right, motherfucker, 199 00:10:56,356 --> 00:10:58,107 all right. Typical, man. 200 00:10:58,115 --> 00:11:00,109 Typical. Typical. 201 00:11:00,117 --> 00:11:02,387 Oh man, not even 3 minutes apart. 202 00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:05,180 Not even 3 minutes apart. These quotes. 203 00:11:05,188 --> 00:11:08,295 Oh God. So Robyn, of course, is our 204 00:11:08,303 --> 00:11:12,248 first wife, even though she's the fourth wife and she while 205 00:11:12,256 --> 00:11:15,582 picking through the carpets, it's like oh La La, la, la. 206 00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:18,080 She lands on the color bear skin for her carpet. 207 00:11:18,088 --> 00:11:19,428 She. Goes well. 208 00:11:19,436 --> 00:11:22,934 I'm not going to go with white. Oh, of course. 209 00:11:22,942 --> 00:11:27,147 And then Kody says, well, put your black shirt against this 210 00:11:27,155 --> 00:11:29,342 color. And she pulls her black sleeve 211 00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:33,335 against it and he goes, you have a lot of black furniture. 212 00:11:33,343 --> 00:11:37,060 And then they decide on bear skin. 213 00:11:37,068 --> 00:11:39,547 OK. OK, Clownches. 214 00:11:39,555 --> 00:11:41,500 OK. Robyn says there are more 215 00:11:41,508 --> 00:11:43,580 important things in life than picking finishings. 216 00:11:43,588 --> 00:11:46,486 She's just happy to get the home. 217 00:11:46,494 --> 00:11:49,860 Kody has to say Robyn went quickly. 218 00:11:49,868 --> 00:11:51,848 Oh. Did she? 219 00:11:51,856 --> 00:11:53,768 Gold Star wife. She really did. 220 00:11:53,776 --> 00:11:57,031 Oh, as quickly as you do with her each time, Kody. 221 00:11:57,039 --> 00:12:00,640 Robyn was A2 hump pump with that carpet selection. 222 00:12:00,648 --> 00:12:03,698 Love it, love it. Thanks Robyn. 223 00:12:03,706 --> 00:12:07,790 Now Meri is next and cue the music. 224 00:12:07,798 --> 00:12:13,206 Don't, don't, don't. Meri is next when Robyn has left 225 00:12:13,206 --> 00:12:16,162 the room. Lynette tells Kody while he's in 226 00:12:16,162 --> 00:12:20,215 there alone that Meri is $200 over budget before making any of 227 00:12:20,215 --> 00:12:22,376 her current selections for the day. 228 00:12:22,384 --> 00:12:25,880 So $200 over budget. All right. 229 00:12:25,888 --> 00:12:27,348 Sounds good. Bring in Meri. 230 00:12:27,356 --> 00:12:32,040 So they still need to pick around $5000 worth of things in 231 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,640 the home and she's $200 over budget. 232 00:12:35,648 --> 00:12:39,456 And of course, they have to tell Kody this before she even comes 233 00:12:39,456 --> 00:12:44,170 into the room, though. All right, so Q Meri walking in 234 00:12:44,170 --> 00:12:47,095 all innocent. The dramatic music is playing 235 00:12:47,103 --> 00:12:50,250 like it's going to happen, it's going to happen. 236 00:12:50,258 --> 00:12:52,567 She's turning the corner, she's coming through the door. 237 00:12:52,575 --> 00:12:55,200 Here she is. And what does Meri say? 238 00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:58,132 That actually ties in really well to the soundtrack 239 00:12:58,140 --> 00:13:01,020 happening, She says. It almost felt a little bit 240 00:13:01,028 --> 00:13:05,608 ominous when I walked into the room and I lol because I'm like, 241 00:13:05,608 --> 00:13:08,940 they literally played ominous music and then you ominously 242 00:13:08,948 --> 00:13:14,542 walked into the ominous room. Yeah, Kody makes a comment about 243 00:13:14,542 --> 00:13:19,448 Mona and Lana saying that she's already over, so they 244 00:13:19,448 --> 00:13:24,292 don't want her to see or look at things that are over budget. 245 00:13:24,292 --> 00:13:26,760 And it was kind of this like 246 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,040 underhanded like comment that's not focused on. 247 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,480 I think it was kind of like a passing thing while they're 248 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,440 showing another shot, but it seems like they're teeing it up. 249 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,400 Like please don't show Meri. We're not going to show her on 250 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,080 budget options. Right. 251 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,080 Because as we see later, there's like some baseline carpet 252 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,600 options and then of course there's nicer carpet. 253 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,520 And it's like, don't show Meri the nicer carpet because she's 254 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,200 just going to go, oh God, how can I not live without this 255 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,920 nicer carpet? And it's like like everybody 256 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,720 lives with normal carpet. Like hello. 257 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,760 She's wearing this like dark purple tank top and this light 258 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,640 purple tight skin long sleeve shirt. 259 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,720 She's trying to outdo Robbins. Purple people eat her look. 260 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040 Oh gosh, there's no way you can be more purple than Robyn. 261 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Kody tells Meri that she's $200 over budget. 262 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,040 Now, what I love about this is as he's telling her this, he 263 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,120 like starts grabbing the tile samples and the whatever and the 264 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,760 carpet samples to get started. Like, OK, so you're $200 over 265 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,480 budget. Here we go. 266 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,600 Here's the things like he's making it all like, quick, 267 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,920 quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. 268 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Like let's go, let's go. Here we go. 269 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,880 It's going to be fine. And Meri's like hold on a 270 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,480 second, am I really already over budget? 271 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,840 Yeah. It's like, yeah, bitch, how do 272 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,932 you not know you're over budget? 273 00:14:42,940 --> 00:14:44,120 She should know she's over budget. 274 00:14:44,128 --> 00:14:47,690 Yeah, she's like, Kody, you have this weird, funky energy, and 275 00:14:47,698 --> 00:14:52,384 it's stressing me out. And Kody is like, well, I'm 276 00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:56,246 going to have to insist on a few things, like a washer and a 277 00:14:56,254 --> 00:14:59,745 dryer. And we hear that she hasn't even 278 00:14:59,745 --> 00:15:03,596 picked out important things yet, like a washer and a dryer. 279 00:15:03,596 --> 00:15:06,200 And I think this is the first 280 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,440 time we're hearing like, OK, you're $200 over budget, but you 281 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,320 still don't have a washer and a dryer. 282 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,440 Yeah. And maybe that's the last round, 283 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,360 like in this last round of Selects, I don't know. 284 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,240 But we do find out later that Kody, of course, is of the 285 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,480 opinion that a washer and dryer should be part of their budget 286 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,960 so that she doesn't have to buy one after they move in and deal 287 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,520 with the, you know, I don't know, delivery and whatever. 288 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,200 He kind of makes it sound like it's a big dull. 289 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,200 And I don't really know that it's a big dull. 290 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,080 I think it's like, if she wants to get it later than let her. 291 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,160 I mean, she's the bitch that's going to have to do laundry. 292 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,640 You think Kody's doing laundry in that house? 293 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,560 I think the big deal is that he doesn't want the bug doll is 294 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,160 that he doesn't want her bringing her shot to Robyn's 295 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,320 house. Oh God, right. 296 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,840 What if? She's that would be a big doll. 297 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480 That would be a big doll. She can't walk in while they're 298 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,560 dulling with the pickle, you know, because. 299 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,360 Meri suspects that Mona and Lynette have already told Kody 300 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,160 to watch out because she's over budget. 301 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,360 She tells this to camera and it's like, duh. 302 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,440 Like of course. And that's when you know, she 303 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,280 says. This is really causing me 304 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,360 stress. Yeah, she starts crying. 305 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,600 And Kody shows her the tile and granite she previously picked 306 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,840 out. He asks her if she even wants to 307 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,000 see more expensive carpet given her budget overage. 308 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,240 She says yes, just for fun. It's. 309 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,200 Just your fun. It's not going to be fun. 310 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,332 That's why everyone's trying to spare themselves from having 311 00:16:32,332 --> 00:16:34,920 you look at it like it's not. Going to be fun. 312 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,400 And who thinks it's going to be fun? 313 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,600 I don't know, maybe I'm an idiot, but if I know going into 314 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,720 a situation that I only have so much money, I'm not going to be 315 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960 like, show me the things I can't afford. 316 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,400 This is why they warned him but also at the same time I feel 317 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,280 like it's a little like gross to warn him because it's saying 318 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,480 that like the man has the dominion and he'll make the 319 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,640 final say. And please talk some sense into 320 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,080 your dumb wife. Yeah, I feel that. 321 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,960 So I kind of get it, but I don't like maybe after this long of 322 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,240 working with them, they know that it's a good idea to tell 323 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,040 him to help talk some sense into her. 324 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,160 But if they really knew them, they would know that's not a 325 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,920 great idea. So the whole situation just 326 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,960 backfires on them. Well. 327 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800 It's almost like a little too interpersonal as well because 328 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,000 like, they're, they're doing a business deal. 329 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,640 It's not like, you know, is it really their obligation to keep 330 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,480 the budget low? Like, probably not. 331 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,364 I'm sure Pinnacle Homes would be happy to have her overspend 332 00:17:35,364 --> 00:17:37,800 her budget. I think that the problem here is 333 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,720 that there's so many homes that they can't just go over budget 334 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,080 if it was one home. Like if it was me and my husband 335 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,840 building a ticky tacky home and picking these options, they 336 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,360 wouldn't mind if we went over budget a little bit. 337 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,080 That doesn't fucking matter to them. 338 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:59,240 But when there's this big of a like thing on the line, of a 339 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,360 sale on the line and all these homes are dependent on it and 340 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:06,680 the family could back out because one of them fails at 341 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,280 making this qualification happen, I think that that's why. 342 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,160 That could be. I would assume that it's more of 343 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,160 a self-serving thing so that they don't lose everybody over 344 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,640 it. Or have any issues with 345 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,040 financing at all? Yes. 346 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,280 That makes sense 1000%. Either way, it's a little gross 347 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,880 to me to go behind a spouse and say something to the other 348 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480 spouse when you're supposed to be working for both of them. 349 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,160 I see that when Meri does say this, yes, just for fun, looking 350 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,440 at the carpet, that she knows she can't afford this dumb 351 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,040 bitch. She looks like she's going to 352 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,840 pull all of the fried hair out of her fucking head. 353 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,600 Like, she looks like, as she's saying, I want to look at the 354 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,200 carpet just for fun. It looks like she's in near 355 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,680 tears. I mean, which she looks like a 356 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,200 lot in this episode. Yeah, but it's like, oh, why are 357 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,640 you doing this to yourself? Like it's like she's torturing 358 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,760 herself and it's weird. I mean, it's like, darling, you 359 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,920 could just not color that hair for five and pay for that carpet 360 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,200 that looks like your hair if you really wanted it. 361 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,080 But I. Wanted the carpet that closely 362 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,840 matched my hair. I wanted to people lay on my 363 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,960 carpet and look bald.

Oh no. 373 00:19:40,632 --> 00:19:44,360 We have an interjection where they're on the couch for a 374 00:19:44,368 --> 00:19:47,716 spotlight moment and Meri tells Kody that she can be logical. 375 00:19:47,724 --> 00:19:51,923 She tells him he had a wall up when she was walking in and he 376 00:19:51,931 --> 00:19:54,995 was just going to tell her how it was going to be. 377 00:19:55,003 --> 00:19:58,860 I guess that's I mean that's what happened, but why is she so 378 00:19:58,860 --> 00:20:00,580 butthurt about it? She's impractical. 379 00:20:00,588 --> 00:20:04,684 If anybody wants a very good image of how Kody looks right 380 00:20:04,692 --> 00:20:09,954 now, I'm going to say a very niche comment and if you get it, 381 00:20:09,954 --> 00:20:13,107 please let me know in your comments. 382 00:20:13,115 --> 00:20:19,264 Kody looks like Captain Phoebus from the Hunchback of Notre Dame 383 00:20:19,264 --> 00:20:25,405 and not as handsome. He has the haircut of Captain 384 00:20:25,413 --> 00:20:29,388 Phoebus A1 of romantic partner of an Esmeralda. 385 00:20:29,396 --> 00:20:34,408 All right, I'm just going to put that little tidbit in your mind. 386 00:20:34,408 --> 00:20:36,280 Has his hair cut. 387 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,200 Needs some layers, Kennedy.

Moving on SO. 389 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,991 Then we're back in the room with Mona and Lynette and Meri, 390 00:20:46,991 --> 00:20:50,040 says Kody, you have this weird energy. 391 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,520 Kody, you have this word energy, funky energy with me. 392 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,240 It's stressing me out. And she just always looks like 393 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,680 she's like trying to, she's constipated and she's going to 394 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,600 have a nervous breakdown. And it's like, Oh my God, bitch, 395 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,200 you haven't even, we've been in the room at this point for like 396 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,040 1 minute. Oh my God. 397 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,960 That sunless Tanner has set into the cracks and she is stressed 398 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840 out and it's so. Out, Kody. 399 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,560 Sorry, Mayor, I just know that you're going to overspend and 400 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:30,000 we're already over budget. Meri, I'm going to need you to 401 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,560 not have this energy. You're stressing me out. 402 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,960 It's like, OK, enough with the stressing you out. 403 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,840 You're not. I mean, my God, these people. 404 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,280 She starts tearing up and these big crocodile tears look like 405 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,520 they're going to start pouring out. 406 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,200 And she goes Christine. Can Christine and Janelle go 407 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,440 first? She just needs a moment. 408 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,200 Maybe the more easygoing sister Wives could go before her. 409 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,200 So she leaves the room, thank God, and she tells the camera 410 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,560 she just needs a break to figure it all out. 411 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,200 Well, yeah, she needs a break. Everybody needs a break from 412 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,920 fucking Meri. My God, she was in this room for 413 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,400 like 2 minutes and it was 45 minutes of drama. 414 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,920 You know, her hairs needed a break for like fucking five 415 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,280 years. But has she listened to those 416 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,920 dried ends? No. 417 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,000 No. Has Kennedy listened to those 418 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,600 dried ends for the last year she's been doing her hair? 419 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,920 No. Meri, we need conditioner. 420 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,120 Meri, help us. Meri, we're. 421 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,280 So. All right. 422 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,680 We could barely talk. We're crispy crispy. 423 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,720 So gross. So ridiculous. 424 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Love you, Meri. I have to. 425 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,400 I think I gave Meri my mustard seed the last episode. 426 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,120 This is what's so funny about this show. 427 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:46,680 It's like I just gave her a mustard seed and now I'm like, 428 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,760 put her in the incinerator. Like I'm done. 429 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,720 I'm fucking done. Put her in the incinerator like 430 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,920 her hair on the flat air and we could just see Janelle. 431 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,640 Max though, which is peachy fucking keen, right? 432 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,880 Yes, and Janelle is wearing a priMeri very red shirt, like 433 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,720 red, red, red, like the reddest red you've ever seen, like a 434 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,560 Target billboard. And I'm like, wow, Janelle, your 435 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,280 skin is very light and your hair is very, very light and you're 436 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,000 wearing this bright red shirt. And it was kind of, and it made 437 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,760 me, it reminded me of TV shows where when things move and it 438 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,320 kind of blurs because it's just so hard to watch. 439 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,800 But it was just Janelle shirt. I thought you were going to say 440 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,440 it reminded you of Robbins Cold source, but you missed that 441 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,120 little. I missed that time and God damn 442 00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:34,480 it. Well, you know, Janelle says 443 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,000 that she doesn't have the budget to pour a concrete pad off the 444 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,320 back door. She's aware of this. 445 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,560 This is what she'd like to do. She wants a concrete pad off the 446 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,240 back door, but she knows she doesn't have the budget. 447 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:49,360 Now Janelle is our shrewd businesswoman, AKA no, no, no, 448 00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,840 she just can. She already knows what she can 449 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,240 afford or not based on all of the work they've already done. 450 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,240 Well, right. And she would rather have blinds 451 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,480 on her. She would rather have blinds. 452 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,440 She would rather not be blinded by the light. 453 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,480 Eat every morning. She wants blinds. 454 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,840 She has to choose. She wants blinds. 455 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,360 She wants builder grade blinds that all of her kids are going 456 00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,320 to fuck up like the cat blinds in her apartment. 457 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Like, Oh my God. So imagine those broken hanging 458 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,080 off blinds. She has to choose between the 459 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,200 cement pad or the blinds and she chooses the blinds. 460 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,120 And Kody is like, well, then all the kids are going to be 461 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:28,320 dragging dirt into your back door and you're not to put up 462 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,560 with that. And she says, well I guess I'm 463 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:38,360 going to have to DIY a back pad because I want the blinds. 464 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:42,520 She wants the blinds. A DIY girly after my own heart. 465 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,880 Well. This is, I mean, you know, a 466 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,400 cement pad off of a dusty backyard is probably the way to 467 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,880 go in my opinion. Like I don't we are talking 468 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,280 about the desert like their lots are literally just sand. 469 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,022 Now, if Janelle, if you were to say I'm going to build 470 00:24:58,022 --> 00:24:59,600 something outside of my house to like stop the. 471 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,120 With some pavers like come on. I if you were going to do it, I 472 00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:06,480 would say I see it, Janelle doing it. 473 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,800 We'll see. Well I can I could make blinds 474 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,640 or a cement pad so I would give my husband the option. 475 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,800 You're like hand making blind. Shut up, did you see our guest 476 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,080 bedroom? I made those fucking curtains in 477 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,400 the guest set. Curtains are one thing, blinds 478 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,480 are another. OK. 479 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,280 Well, curtains versus blinds, they're. 480 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,560 Talking about blinds, They're not talking about curtains. 481 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,760 Their window treatment game is a F. 482 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,960 It is an F. You know their windows look like 483 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,080 shit. Well I want to know then here 484 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:42,000 because it's like what is cheaper buying blackout curtains 485 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,680 and for going blinds or a cement pad in the long run? 486 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,840 And did they actually do the math on the cost effective thing 487 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,640 here? Probably fucking not. 488 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,960 Probably not. This is why I'm saying I just 489 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,880 would have had the pad port because it's easy and it's done 490 00:25:58,880 --> 00:25:59,696 and you don't have to deal with. 491 00:25:59,704 --> 00:26:00,948 It I don't know. Curtains are expensive. 492 00:26:00,956 --> 00:26:03,504 Though I know, but curtains are also something you can just go 493 00:26:03,512 --> 00:26:05,620 to the store and buy. Yeah, but these dumbasses 494 00:26:05,628 --> 00:26:08,160 probably can't measure for curtains and hang a curtain rod 495 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,766 to save their fucking life, which is why they go with 496 00:26:10,774 --> 00:26:12,200 blinds. Would be like, I had to buy 497 00:26:12,208 --> 00:26:14,250 blinds and I was up at 3:00 AM and I didn't even know what to 498 00:26:14,258 --> 00:26:16,336 do. Dude, it's like, Oh my God, how 499 00:26:16,336 --> 00:26:18,220 have you survived? Like, how many homes have you 500 00:26:18,228 --> 00:26:20,927 been in where they don't have curtains and they just have 501 00:26:20,935 --> 00:26:22,360 blinds? Yeah, like a lot. 502 00:26:22,368 --> 00:26:25,238 A lot I know. So sorry to anybody that doesn't 503 00:26:25,238 --> 00:26:28,760 have curtains and just has blinds, but I'm kind of the 504 00:26:28,768 --> 00:26:31,915 opposite. Like my main rooms have curated 505 00:26:31,915 --> 00:26:36,800 curtains from like ceiling to floor to elongate the windows 506 00:26:36,808 --> 00:26:39,635 and like they weren't super expensive. 507 00:26:39,643 --> 00:26:43,562 I guess they're most of them are from Amazon, but I just feel 508 00:26:43,570 --> 00:26:47,932 like these aren't the type of people that could choose their 509 00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:49,520 curtains well. Right. 510 00:26:49,528 --> 00:26:50,836 Yeah. I don't know what to say. 511 00:26:50,844 --> 00:26:52,720 I'm a gay man who knows how to pick out a curtain. 512 00:26:52,728 --> 00:26:55,720 I'm not a gay man who's going to pour a concrete pad because I 513 00:26:55,728 --> 00:26:57,976 just feel like it. So I don't really. 514 00:26:57,984 --> 00:27:02,960 Know I also helped my parents put in their own like stone 515 00:27:02,968 --> 00:27:08,761 patio with cement between the stone pieces in high school so I 516 00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:12,175 have a very unique set of skills so. 517 00:27:12,183 --> 00:27:15,280 I was going to say, so you're just fishing for praise when 518 00:27:15,288 --> 00:27:19,195 we're talking about Janelle. I just, I had to mix up the 519 00:27:19,203 --> 00:27:21,930 concrete to pour between the granite slabs. 520 00:27:21,938 --> 00:27:26,734 No slate slabs that my parents laid out. 521 00:27:26,742 --> 00:27:29,344 You know, child labor. It's for free. 522 00:27:29,352 --> 00:27:32,850 Janelle, you got a lot of kids. I think you could do it. 523 00:27:32,858 --> 00:27:37,175 Just saying. Moving on, Mona says we're done. 524 00:27:37,175 --> 00:27:38,360 That was easy. 525 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,400 And I'm like L0L 0L. Yeah. 526 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,120 Like if anyone's going to make making a budget decision easy, 527 00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:45,000 it's Janelle. Is it the wrong decision? 528 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,920 Yes. But did Janelle make it? 529 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,520 Yes. And was it easy? 530 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,320 Yes. So thanks for letting her know, 531 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,960 Mona. Kody says good job you got to 532 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,480 give me a kiss because that was so. 533 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,800 Easy. I'm like, Can you imagine saying 534 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,800 that to your spouse? Like kiss me because he made it 535 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,880 so easy. Like. 536 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,960 It's like a treat, like he's doling out like a little, Oh, a 537 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,800 little.

Yeah, I I just imagine being 542 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,440 like this is not a compliment. No, but she feeds into it, just 543 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,840 as all of these wives in the competition do. 544 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,920 It's like pitting the wives against each other as per usual. 545 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,400 And it's working so. Well, Janelle says she's going 546 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,680 to have to get the pad port after they move in. 547 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,800 And I'm like, cool, good for you, Janelle. 548 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,800 Or DIY it. Yep. 549 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:50,080 Well, Christine is next. Lynette says that Christine has 550 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,520 a bunch of money left to spend in her budget because she made 551 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,280 some great choices. Christine says I have a bucket 552 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,040 of money left. It's like, OK, Christine, good 553 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,600 for you. And Kody says could you loan 554 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,400 that to another wife? Yeah. 555 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,320 Christine goes, really, do I have to? 556 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,040 Why don't I see what I want and go from there? 557 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,840 And it's like, are you literally responding as if you are going 558 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,200 to consider this? Which we do circle back to, and 559 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,920 it seems like she's not immediately dismissing it, which 560 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,600 is shocking. I would be like, are you fucking 561 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,760 kidding me? So I don't even know. 562 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,320 Well, at first it kind of seems like a joke. 563 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,560 And she's like, and she's brings up the stone that she wants. 564 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,680 Yes. And she says that she wants 565 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,920 stone on the outside. And what do they think about it? 566 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,680 Meaning the two women And they're like, well, everybody 567 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,680 goes with the stone. It's it's gorgeous. 568 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,480 It's a nice feature and it's worth the investment. 569 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,520 Which, you know, I guess makes sense. 570 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,547 It's a way to differentiate your home from the other three 571 00:29:53,547 --> 00:29:55,600 ticky tacky houses on the same end of the cul-de-sac. 572 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,320 Yes, and the fact that they're saying that, well, everyone, you 573 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,600 know, usually goes with the stone. 574 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,720 Stone and other wives probably can't afford it. 575 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,960 Yeah. And Kody says if you don't get 576 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,560 it, though, you could give the rest to Meri. 577 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,840 I mean God. Yeah, Christine says. 578 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,238 I want to see how much the stone will cost to do, but most 579 00:30:19,238 --> 00:30:21,480 likely I'll probably do it and be selfish with it. 580 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,480 And it's like, OK, like no one thinks it's selfish, Kody says. 581 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,240 It's up to you. And I'm like, going, of course 582 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,720 it's up to her. That's the point. 583 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,520 And Christine says, are you trying to guilt trip me? 584 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,040 Kody's like, no, not at all. She says, good. 585 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,200 And then they flashback to the couch. 586 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,800 Oh, God. And now we get an opportunity to 587 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,440 hear all these adults talk about it. 588 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,880 On the couch, Kody claims that this was a joke. 589 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,360 He claims that offering her budget if she doesn't go with a 590 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,080 stone to marry is a joke. It was not a joke. 591 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,787 It was very obvious it was not a joke and that it would have 592 00:31:01,787 --> 00:31:05,880 just made his life easier if she had said that. 593 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:12,080 And then like her normal keep sweet Christine self and not 594 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,200 done the stone and giving it to Meri and Christine says well it 595 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,782 made me feel selfish and it made me question myself for doing 596 00:31:19,782 --> 00:31:23,702 it. I felt that it was something I 597 00:31:23,710 --> 00:31:27,600 should give to Meri and I don't blame her. 598 00:31:27,608 --> 00:31:31,596 There are times where people put ideas in your head, whether it's 599 00:31:31,596 --> 00:31:36,944 a joke or not, and all of a sudden it has you questioning 600 00:31:36,952 --> 00:31:42,842 your own intentions or if the mistake you made was simply a 601 00:31:42,850 --> 00:31:46,736 mistake or not. And I've dealt with this in my 602 00:31:46,744 --> 00:31:49,940 own life a lot. And it's like that imposter 603 00:31:49,948 --> 00:31:53,920 syndrome or the person that's kind and puts others 1st. 604 00:31:53,928 --> 00:31:58,135 And Christine's one of the people in this show that I think 605 00:31:58,135 --> 00:32:01,519 actually usually does put people 1st and puts her family 606 00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:03,920 first. So I do believe that she 607 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,320 questioned herself and probably layed awake until 3:00 AM 608 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,480 feeling guilty about putting Stone on her house because of 609 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,600 Kody's fucking joke about giving it to Meri. 610 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,320 Oh God, when Christine is talking about this, she tells 611 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,240 Meri. I'm sorry and I hope that you 612 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,280 don't think it's selfish and Meri does the whole pretending 613 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,158 thing like you're talking to me. 614 00:32:27,166 --> 00:32:30,179 Like yes, of course she's talking to you, you dumb bitch. 615 00:32:30,179 --> 00:32:31,880 And that's when Kody says I was 616 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,160 joking and it's like no, he was not. 617 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,440 Meri does try to reassure Christine that it's not selfish 618 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,520 and Meri did snap to it. I hope that it was more than 619 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,240 just a narcissistically driven realization that she looks like 620 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,920 a bitch in the moment by being like, you're talking to me. 621 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,120 Because it's like, yeah, of course she's talking to you like 622 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,640 you're the one that's over budget. 623 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,225 And she's saying I feel a little like maybe I'm being selfish 624 00:32:55,225 --> 00:32:59,000 by not sharing my budget. Meri says absolutely not. 625 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,880 I feel selfish being over budget. 626 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,600 It's absolutely aggravating. Right, Like aggravating, as if 627 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,280 it's anybody else's responsibility or anything like 628 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,320 these. Cold sores are flaring up over 629 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,120 at Meri What? Oh my God. 630 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,680 Get out of here. Meri's cold sores are not 631 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920 flaring up, but she's not really that upset. 632 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,120 She's just pretending. I'm so aggravated over your own 633 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,800 decisions. Utterly bizarre. 634 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,960 Just strange. We return to the showroom at 635 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,440 Pinnacle Homes, and Lynette shows Christine her laptop 636 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,880 screen and basically we don't see any details, but she's 637 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,280 demonstrating to Christine that she can afford the stone. 638 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,240 And Christine is obviously happy. 639 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,800 And she's like, oh, good, I'm done. 640 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,560 And they tell Christine to have Meri come in. 641 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,760 Oh, God. So then when Meri's coming in, 642 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,640 who's joining Meri on her entrance? 643 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,560 Darling, Who walks into the room with Meri? 644 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,480 Oh, 1st it's Solomon, then Robyn. 645 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,720 Oh, Solomon strolled in. He walked on in, sure he was 646 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,880 just he was just in, in Robyn's arms being like carried in, 647 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,080 carried in with some headphones on be bopping to those tunes. 648 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,080 All right, Solomon has headphones on. 649 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,842 He attempts to take them off and Robyn stops his little hand 650 00:34:23,842 --> 00:34:25,960 and she won't let him take the headphones off. 651 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,487 And this is where I had to turn to the interwebs and I said, 652 00:34:31,487 --> 00:34:34,089 why does Solomon have headphones on? 653 00:34:34,097 --> 00:34:39,040 And the first thing that came up was literally this episode. 654 00:34:39,047 --> 00:34:44,027 And a Reddit user says clearly he's working customer service 655 00:34:44,036 --> 00:34:50,112 for my sister wife's closet Hazel is holding online too 656 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:56,429 asking for a refund. And this was three years ago. 657 00:34:56,438 --> 00:34:59,946 And I. Oh my God. 658 00:34:59,954 --> 00:35:03,384 In my brain and I clocked it for this moment. 659 00:35:03,392 --> 00:35:07,567 Oh my God. But why is Solomon wearing 660 00:35:07,575 --> 00:35:09,960 headphones? And why is Robyn keeping him 661 00:35:09,968 --> 00:35:13,990 from taking them off? And I know that she has a son 662 00:35:13,998 --> 00:35:18,912 that's on the autism spectrum. So in my mind, I had to look 663 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,796 this up and be like, is Solomon like on the spectrum? 664 00:35:22,804 --> 00:35:26,440 Is he wearing headphones because he's not good with sound? 665 00:35:26,448 --> 00:35:29,920 But no, they look like they're plugged in. 666 00:35:29,928 --> 00:35:32,900 Yeah, they're plugged in. They're on a thing plugged into 667 00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:36,185 a device. And even at this time, you had 668 00:35:36,193 --> 00:35:41,280 to have known that like, children listening to headphones 669 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,944 isn't great for their ears. Like, what is he listening to? 670 00:35:45,952 --> 00:35:48,661 Like Baby Einstein, Like, I don't even know. 671 00:35:48,669 --> 00:35:51,745 But it's weird. And also like, to stop him from 672 00:35:51,745 --> 00:35:55,850 taking them off is weird. A sound deprivation situation is 673 00:35:55,850 --> 00:36:00,734 very weird to do to a child when they're trying to take 674 00:36:00,734 --> 00:36:02,962 something off. I don't know. 675 00:36:02,970 --> 00:36:06,895 I have children with ear tubes. And to me, like if my kid was 676 00:36:06,903 --> 00:36:10,525 listening to something while we were like sitting in a store in 677 00:36:10,525 --> 00:36:14,368 a situation where we were waiting and one of them tried to 678 00:36:14,368 --> 00:36:18,140 take their headphones off and my kids are even older than 679 00:36:18,140 --> 00:36:22,972 this, I would let them. It just seemed like a very 680 00:36:22,980 --> 00:36:27,740 bizarre situation and like to drown out the noise, to drown 681 00:36:27,748 --> 00:36:32,277 out the potential fighting, like I don't understand it and it was 682 00:36:32,277 --> 00:36:35,210 worth noting to me. Well, and I don't, I'm not going 683 00:36:35,210 --> 00:36:38,902 to pretend to know anything about kids or autism or ear 684 00:36:38,910 --> 00:36:44,760 tubes, but when I was witnessing this, I was going, he's so 685 00:36:44,768 --> 00:36:46,086 young. So like. 686 00:36:46,094 --> 00:36:49,845 He's just like literally, I don't want to say a newborn, but 687 00:36:49,845 --> 00:36:52,268 he's a little chunky toddler. He's not a toddler. 688 00:36:52,276 --> 00:36:57,882 He's a like a he's an infant. He's little and so like, how 689 00:36:57,890 --> 00:37:02,544 would you even know that he would require headphones? 690 00:37:02,552 --> 00:37:04,750 You don't. I mean, like, it just seemed 691 00:37:04,758 --> 00:37:07,446 like a bunch of whatever and it was like, why is this happening, 692 00:37:07,446 --> 00:37:09,818 Robyn? We would put headphones on my 693 00:37:09,826 --> 00:37:14,142 kids from a very young age if we went to any sort of live music, 694 00:37:14,142 --> 00:37:17,300 and that was even when we were standing, like very far away 695 00:37:17,308 --> 00:37:20,940 from the live music. But they were just headphones 696 00:37:20,948 --> 00:37:23,250 for muting sound to protect their ears. 697 00:37:23,258 --> 00:37:25,935 It wasn't to make them ever listen to anything. 698 00:37:25,943 --> 00:37:30,279 I don't think we've ever actually truly put headphones on 699 00:37:30,279 --> 00:37:34,072 our kids to listen to music ever to this day. 700 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,674 And I almost have a four year old. 701 00:37:35,682 --> 00:37:38,544 Yeah, I'm not familiar with people putting headphones on 702 00:37:38,552 --> 00:37:41,384 their very young children to listen to any audio. 703 00:37:41,392 --> 00:37:45,117 It's just a bizarre decision to make and I don't know why I made 704 00:37:45,117 --> 00:37:49,420 such a big deal about it, but obviously I looked it up and 705 00:37:49,428 --> 00:37:51,023 other people were commenting on it. 706 00:37:51,031 --> 00:37:54,110 That was three years ago that somebody made a Reddit post 707 00:37:54,118 --> 00:37:57,098 asking about it. The customer service for my. 708 00:37:57,106 --> 00:37:59,046 Sister Closet. That's funny. 709 00:37:59,054 --> 00:38:03,005 And there were multiple other funny comments, like about what 710 00:38:03,005 --> 00:38:07,200 it was really about. People were like, oh, it's a 711 00:38:07,208 --> 00:38:10,268 sermon about celibacy. Like people were commenting a 712 00:38:10,276 --> 00:38:12,690 bunch of funny stuff. But that's great. 713 00:38:12,698 --> 00:38:15,940 Other people noticed it enough to create an entire Reddit 714 00:38:15,948 --> 00:38:18,944 thread about it. So I don't know. 715 00:38:18,952 --> 00:38:22,062 Bizarre. Well, as Robyn enters the room 716 00:38:22,070 --> 00:38:25,770 with baby King Solomon, Kody has a voice over saying something 717 00:38:25,778 --> 00:38:29,275 along the lines of like, I just figured she'll probably go to 718 00:38:29,283 --> 00:38:33,299 get Robyn to complain about it and then get Robyn to side with 719 00:38:33,299 --> 00:38:36,700 her so that I'll do something. After he's done saying this, 720 00:38:36,708 --> 00:38:40,206 they cut to a couch moment where Meri kind of interrupts his 721 00:38:40,214 --> 00:38:42,703 sound bite. And it's like, are you kidding 722 00:38:42,711 --> 00:38:45,480 me? It's not about getting somebody 723 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,856 on one side or the other. Is that what you think This 724 00:38:49,864 --> 00:38:53,840 relationship is a competition. And it's like a competition, 725 00:38:53,848 --> 00:38:55,092 bitch. You're missing the point. 726 00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:58,657 He thinks you're going to go get her to, like, soften the blow 727 00:38:58,665 --> 00:39:03,445 and like, sand on the edges and make it so that you guys are not 728 00:39:03,445 --> 00:39:05,087 fighting. And that's literally what he 729 00:39:05,095 --> 00:39:07,040 says. No, I didn't mean to side with 730 00:39:07,048 --> 00:39:08,680 you. I meant to validate you. 731 00:39:08,688 --> 00:39:11,206 I'm sorry. There's a reason I was in that 732 00:39:11,214 --> 00:39:13,220 place, Meri. Which, of course, like Meri 733 00:39:13,228 --> 00:39:16,642 can't really listen to logic. And then she says, well, let's 734 00:39:16,650 --> 00:39:18,570 just keep putting the blame on somebody else. 735 00:39:18,578 --> 00:39:20,418 And it's like, what does that even mean? 736 00:39:20,426 --> 00:39:22,700 Do you know what she was even talking about? 737 00:39:22,708 --> 00:39:26,042 Is it that she's thinking that he needs to be blamed for 738 00:39:26,050 --> 00:39:28,060 something and he's trying to put it off? 739 00:39:28,068 --> 00:39:32,000 I think that he feels like ganged up on when it comes to 740 00:39:32,008 --> 00:39:36,775 Meri and Robyn. And if we're looking at the last 741 00:39:36,775 --> 00:39:42,315 episode with the, you know, travel and Meri riding with 742 00:39:42,323 --> 00:39:47,812 Robyn and Meri and him fighting and then Robyn having to be 743 00:39:47,820 --> 00:39:50,344 there, and then maybe he's embarrassed because he's acting 744 00:39:50,344 --> 00:39:54,082 like him true his true self in front of Robyn. 745 00:39:54,090 --> 00:40:00,059 I think she's maybe using Robyn as a shield and that Kody is 746 00:40:00,067 --> 00:40:05,558 picking up on the fact that she's using Robyn as a shield. 747 00:40:05,566 --> 00:40:08,624 And maybe they've had fights like. 748 00:40:08,632 --> 00:40:14,540 Off camera about it. And so Meri's kind of being 749 00:40:14,548 --> 00:40:19,065 manipulative and bringing it up on camera right now to try to 750 00:40:19,073 --> 00:40:23,362 pin it as something else. And I'm not defending Kody at 751 00:40:23,370 --> 00:40:27,100 all because I think that the fact that Meri feels like she 752 00:40:27,108 --> 00:40:32,732 needs a shield at all, whether it's Robyn or a child or another 753 00:40:32,732 --> 00:40:37,998 sister wife and it just happens to be Robyn, I think 754 00:40:37,998 --> 00:40:40,440 that is telling of their relationship. 755 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,880 OK. But I think that the whole 756 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,804 situation seems manipulative and they're both trying to call 757 00:40:47,804 --> 00:40:51,160 each other out for it without actually saying what it is. 758 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,360 Exactly, I feel like they're both skirting. 759 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,240 They're skirting. What's really happening? 760 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,400 Yeah. And I just didn't really get her 761 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:58,600 comment. It seemed to me like she was 762 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,000 just kind of maybe a little bit more, maybe even like, I can't 763 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,120 believe you're calling me out on this. 764 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,280 Because she knows it's true. She knows she's going to bring 765 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,320 Robyn into the room because it'll soften blows. 766 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,080 And so she's like trying to be all like, are you kidding me? 767 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,680 And it's like, no, like this is what you're doing. 768 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,360 Like she's projecting. But also, she feels the need to 769 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,600 do it, which is not something you should have in a 770 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,600 relationship with your spouse, that you need to bring another 771 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,800 person in to like, guard you and shield you from the, like 772 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,840 conversations. Oh, it's so messy. 773 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,120 Christine's right. This family's falling apart. 774 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,280 Falling apart. They're failing. 775 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,160 But at least it's not a child being brought in. 776 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,120 Thank God. Oh. 777 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,920 My God, God, it's not a child being brought in. 778 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,560 I mean, is it though? Well, it's robbed the child of a 779 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,080 child. Yeah, Oh. 780 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,400 God IQ child bride allegedly, allegedly it's not even alleged 781 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,120 it. She was not a child bride, but 782 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,760 mentally, mentally a child bride. 783 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,390 Perhaps mentally a child bride. 784 00:41:59,398 --> 00:42:05,760 And the worst part is, is over the years, she kind of declined 785 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,035 birds. Yeah, like, it's even worse. 786 00:42:08,043 --> 00:42:10,788 Oh God. Maybe she picked her nose a lot 787 00:42:10,788 --> 00:42:15,687 because there's a correlation now with nose picking and 788 00:42:15,695 --> 00:42:19,365 Alzheimer's. Back in the room at Pinnacle 789 00:42:19,373 --> 00:42:23,288 Homes, Kody explains to Robyn that Meri's coming in $200 over 790 00:42:23,288 --> 00:42:25,584 budget before selecting her final choices. 791 00:42:25,592 --> 00:42:31,155 So basically adding nothing, no blinds, no anything, she's at 792 00:42:31,163 --> 00:42:34,290 $200 over. And it is telling and aligns 793 00:42:34,298 --> 00:42:37,046 with our, you know, theories that like, he's explaining this 794 00:42:37,046 --> 00:42:39,002 to Robyn. So like, Robyn's coming into the 795 00:42:39,002 --> 00:42:42,082 room and he's talking to Robyn to let her know blah blah blah. 796 00:42:42,082 --> 00:42:43,800 They go back to the couch and 797 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,960 Kody says I felt like Meri brought Robyn in with her to 798 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,480 keep me from being combative. Yes, I I don't think that that's 799 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,920 untrue, but there's a reason that Meri feels like she needs 800 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,640 the Shield to avoid the combative discussions. 801 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,720 So it's like they're both just fucked up. 802 00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:02,120 Eventually they end up compromising on carpet and Kody 803 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,480 suggests the color of the cheap carpet and they compromise on 804 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,000 it. Kody keeps mentioning that he 805 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,320 wants this to go fast, like he wants all of his sexual 806 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,120 encounters with Meri to go fast as well when they do happen. 807 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,640 Now when they're sitting down, this is it. 808 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,800 There's totally a vibe shift. They're faking making choices in 809 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,760 a positive way. Like as soon as Meri agrees to 810 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,040 one thing, like, oh, are you going to not do the premier 811 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,200 carpet or whatever? And she says, yeah, no, it's 812 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,480 fine. Then all of a sudden, Kody 813 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,200 switches into, I'm agreeable with you, Mayor, that's great. 814 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,200 I love your choices. This is awesome. 815 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,760 And it's totally that fake. Like now we're on the same page, 816 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,320 we're just going to keep going thing and it's so weird to 817 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,640 watch. It's so weird to watch like 818 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,600 couples dysfunctions filmed unlike on display. 819 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,280 It's so strange. Yeah, and it's not like he even 820 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,200 suggests bear skin. Bear skin? 821 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,800 What if he suggested like pure white? 822 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,680 Oh my God, white is snow, Meri, pure white. 823 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:10,240 At the end of everything, she ends up being $4665 over budget 824 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,760 that she's going to have to come up with like out of her own 825 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,000 pocket money. Which I love because they 826 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,800 actually said 4665 and I was like, she's only $46 over 827 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,120 budget, why the fuck are we even talking about all this? 828 00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:24,880 And then I realized, Chris, you're a little slow. 829 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,880 It's not $46.65. It's like 4665. 830 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,184 Like 5 grand over budget, yeah. 831 00:44:32,192 --> 00:44:35,800 And when Meri's solidifying or, you know, when they're wrapping 832 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,296 up this discussion, Kody reminds her, you're going to 833 00:44:38,296 --> 00:44:41,151 have to plan on buying a washer and dryer along with the 834 00:44:41,151 --> 00:44:43,440 blinds. So once again, Meri is making 835 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,480 these choices and does know that, OK, you're going to have 836 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:47,960 to get window treatments. You're going to have to get a 837 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,920 washer and dryer. I don't know why there's such a 838 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,800 pushback on that in a sense where like if I was operating a 839 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,800 budget and someone told me that and I understood it, I'd be 840 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,680 like, got it. I'll get the washer and dryer. 841 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,280 I'll get the blinds, I'll get the curtains. 842 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,440 I think the problem is when you're factoring in a home loan 843 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,880 and home payment each month and then your income each month, 844 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,680 you're not factoring in the extra like Best Buy bill each 845 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,720 month. So like it depends. 846 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,760 And with the budget that this entire family is on, it's kind 847 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,080 of a big deal because when you think about interest rates and 848 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,946 potentially having to go to Best Buy and do a credit card or 849 00:45:26,946 --> 00:45:29,259 this or that, it is a big deal. 850 00:45:29,267 --> 00:45:32,690 But we've already talked, but I mean, not to interrupt, but we 851 00:45:32,698 --> 00:45:36,038 have talked about how these wives all have some sort of 852 00:45:36,046 --> 00:45:40,088 their own income coming in. And so Meri has her own budget. 853 00:45:40,088 --> 00:45:41,280 Kody references their other 854 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:42,800 budgets. Like, Christina's a budget, 855 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,920 Everyone has a budget. And so the reason I'm scratching 856 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,240 my chin and my balls and my other body parts about it, I'm 857 00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:55,520 going if Meri has an ability to pay for things on her own, then 858 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,960 what's the issue? And maybe there isn't an issue. 859 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,520 Maybe they just need drama. But it seems like I don't know 860 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,040 it. They don't make it clear. 861 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,040 They don't. Make it well and with like, you 862 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,880 know, the one child situation and with having less monthly 863 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:16,040 costs, maybe she can easily factor in an extra 5 grand. 864 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,040 However, we don't know like the debt situation here for Meri 865 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,320 specifically. Fair enough. 866 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,840 There could be a lot of extenuating circumstances. 867 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,760 There could also be the fact that he just doesn't think that 868 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,240 she'll do it. And so then she won't have a 869 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:34,760 washer and dryer and then she'll be bitching about that or 870 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,600 needing to use an otherwise. And then the other wives will be 871 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,640 bitching about it. She'll be going to Robyns and 872 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,240 they won't be able to FERC as often because Meri will be there 873 00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:51,480 doing laundry. The other thing here is we do 874 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,760 know Meri is a crafty bit. She could make her own blinds or 875 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,920 curtains so. They might be hideous, but she 876 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,560 could make. Them if you XNA that let's say 877 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:06,760 she's maybe just three grand over budget with, you know, the 878 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,200 washer dryer situation, you know, there's always her wet 879 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,280 bar. She could wash her laundry in 880 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,160 the wet bar. Oh God, she can put her laundry 881 00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:17,880 in the wet bar. You know. 882 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,320 Hand washing. It's like a little house on the 883 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,760 Prairie. But she is a polygamist. 884 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,160 She should be used to this, right? 885 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,560 She's one of those downtrodden polygamists who should be doing 886 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,520 her own laundry in the sink. I mean, she could do that. 887 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,120 Well, and then she's talking about the reason I'm over budget 888 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:38,160 is just this circle of events. I'm like circle of events. 889 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,680 I wanted to have the wet bar, not for the bar part of it 890 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,200 because of the counter space, part of it because I like to 891 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,640 entertain girl. Now I have to tell you, this is 892 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,619 where I knew I was going to have a moment with you because I 893 00:47:52,619 --> 00:47:55,040 was going to go. I have to pose a question to you 894 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,404 as a faggot, as a homosexual, as a talented, talented 895 00:47:59,404 --> 00:48:03,322 individual. When I'm hosting an event, I'm 896 00:48:03,330 --> 00:48:05,588 sounding like Meri. What a. 897 00:48:05,596 --> 00:48:07,632 One talented individual to another, OK? 898 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,200 OK, thank you. Thank you. 899 00:48:09,208 --> 00:48:10,247 I apologize. Apologies. 900 00:48:10,255 --> 00:48:13,020 I'm having a holiday party, having whatever. 901 00:48:13,028 --> 00:48:15,840 Because at this point, they have not told us that they're Hawking 902 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,695 some shitty products and that's why she needs her wet 903 00:48:17,695 --> 00:48:18,480 bar. It's because she likes to 904 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,800 entertain. So let's buy into Meri's story 905 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,840 here for a minute. She likes to entertain when I 906 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,120 entertain. Let's say I'm having a holiday 907 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,320 party and the number of guests are roughly the same as the 908 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,480 Brown family. Coming over to Meri's house for 909 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,480 a dinner, I'm more than comfortable with taking out my 910 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:41,120 sturdy, not the cheapest, but sturdy folding table and putting 911 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,480 a tablecloth over it and putting some serving dishes and some 912 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,520 nice decor. Let's say it's for the holidays. 913 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,560 You put up a little tree or a little something, and then 914 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,320 underneath the table you've got space for drinks. 915 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,560 You know, cooler garbage, You know, accoutrement. 916 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,480 Whatever you fucking need. And no, I have never once had 917 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,560 someone come up to me, not that they would. 918 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,240 I've never witnessed someone looking at it going like I can't 919 00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:06,520 even believe he has a table here with some things on it. 920 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,160 Like is it really that big of a deal? 921 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,160 Like why would you need a wet bar? 922 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,080 It just doesn't make any sense to me. 923 00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:15,360 Sorry, I'm getting a little crazy. 924 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,920 Is it really that bad to have like a side table or a folding 925 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,320 table that's a buffet that is not hideous that you put things 926 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,920 on? No, and the wet bar doesn't even 927 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,520 allow for that much space. Exactly. 928 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,120 The thing with a wet bar is that it has a small sink. 929 00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:37,160 Right. So if she is making a tiny 930 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:42,800 little soup packets of drink mix, like on repeat, and she's 931 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,120 making 50 little soup packets of drink mix, and she's got her 932 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:52,480 little assistant making 25 at the wet box, she's making 25 at 933 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,720 the sink. That's what she does. 934 00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:56,840 The whole party is making individual drinks. 935 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,680 Is that what's happening here? I don't know. 936 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,320 I just don't. I just, I literally was going 937 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,360 questioning all of my decisions as an adult going really. 938 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,120 Has it been so terrible that I've had a table set up on the 939 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,160 side somewhere that has like a drink station or a serving 940 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,400 station? I don't think it's that big of a 941 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,880 deal. No, and she's like and the wet 942 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:22,360 bar had to lead to me getting the craft room or the hobby 943 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,600 room. Yes, the only way she could have 944 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,600 that wet box is to have the hobby room and the pantry behind 945 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,720 the kitchen. And the only way to have those 946 00:50:31,720 --> 00:50:33,360 things is to have the fifth bedroom. 947 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,680 Yeah, it's like this circle of events, he seems. 948 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,240 Like Domino's falling. And it's what Meri calls a 949 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:43,720 circle of events, which are all her choices. 950 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,600 Which is really, to me, solvable by just buying a nice quality 951 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,920 folding table and a nice tablecloth. 952 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:51,720 I don't get it. I do not. 953 00:50:51,720 --> 00:50:54,240 Get this is the dumbest thing ever and she even makes a 954 00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:58,240 comment about how she wanted to do this to avoid extra costs of 955 00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:02,480 adding things later. Which is so fucking dumb because 956 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,040 you know how many people actually take a wet bar out of 957 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,520 their home because they would like the extra space of not 958 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,360 having a sink where they don't need it? 959 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,840 They don't need it or just never. 960 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:16,880 Even if they don't take it out, never using it. 961 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,760 I've been in homes where they never use their web bar because 962 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,200 they don't need to. Why would they? 963 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:26,000 No Insane. I mean, it's really, really 964 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,440 stupid. And to spend as much money as 965 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:34,240 she spent just to have this one thing and have this circle of 966 00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:40,880 events follow her like, Oh no, this horrible shadow that's 967 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,520 following me around. Meri's circle of. 968 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,760 Events. So ridiculous. 969 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:55,320 And it leaves me poor. So good. 970 00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,040 Nope honey, rest assured, Meri lets us know that the amount she 971 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,760 is over is not coming out of any of the other wives budgets for 972 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,880 their houses. This is something she's going to 973 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,680 pay for for herself. Thanks for clarifying. 974 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,560 We already knew this. This has been pretty clear other 975 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,240 than Kody trying to guilt the other wives into giving you part 976 00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:16,480 of their budget. Duh, my. 977 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:22,160 God, Janelle says that she is OK with it when she realized that 978 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,120 she didn't need to give up anything that she needed. 979 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,600 So it was almost like Kody had behind the scenes to the other 980 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:34,960 wives mentioned that if they gave up a portion of their 981 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:41,280 budget like he did to Christine on camera, Janelle saying here 982 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,480 right now, OK. When I realized that I didn't 983 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,240 have to give a proportion, I was fine with it. 984 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,210 So Kody tried to guilt all these wives behind the camera to 985 00:52:50,210 --> 00:52:53,200 give up their budget. That's what I'm getting from 986 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:54,880 that. There's also a tie back to 987 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,640 previous discussions and topics that have happened on the show 988 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,200 talking about this inequality bit where, and we've discussed 989 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,120 it many times where if a wife is supposed to go without for her 990 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,120 children while you have an abundance, like that's kind of 991 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:13,360 an not kosher family dynamic. Like, even if it's fair and 992 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:18,720 right in somebody's mind, it would be messy to be like, your 993 00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:21,800 kids should sleep in the dining room while my child has four 994 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,800 bedrooms to run around in. And so there's an element of 995 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,000 that coming in here, too, from my perspective, where it's 996 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,264 going, like Janelle, as long as she realizes she doesn't have 997 00:53:30,264 --> 00:53:34,960 to give up anything, it's OK. And I think that you're right 998 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,000 probably about Kody planting seeds and doing whatever. 999 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,560 We just don't have any footage of it with Janelle, I guess. 1000 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,360 We only have it with Christine. 1001 00:53:42,368 --> 00:53:45,700 Yeah, but you know, he probably made how many offhanded comments 1002 00:53:45,700 --> 00:53:47,663 and whatever to these other wives. 1003 00:53:47,671 --> 00:53:55,856 I think that one thing that bothers me here a lot is the 1004 00:53:55,864 --> 00:53:59,216 backhanded, obvious sheisty nature of Kody. 1005 00:53:59,224 --> 00:54:02,920 And it's coming out here, but no one's really coming out and 1006 00:54:02,928 --> 00:54:07,440 saying it other than Christine. And in one minute he's honestly 1007 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:12,960 telling her on camera that if Christine gave the rest of her 1008 00:54:12,968 --> 00:54:17,464 budget to Meri and then flipped to not even a minute later, it 1009 00:54:17,472 --> 00:54:20,472 was a joke. It was a joke. 1010 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:25,368 And then the gas lighting where Christine might have thought 1011 00:54:25,376 --> 00:54:28,620 about this when they do these couch interviews, we don't know 1012 00:54:28,620 --> 00:54:31,090 how long it is later. So let's say this is a month 1013 00:54:31,098 --> 00:54:33,180 later. Christine might have felt like 1014 00:54:33,188 --> 00:54:37,200 shit for an entire month thinking about putting stone on 1015 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,561 her house versus giving that budget to Meri. 1016 00:54:40,569 --> 00:54:45,040 And we don't know about that though, because it could have 1017 00:54:45,048 --> 00:54:48,584 gone on for that long. And he also could have done the 1018 00:54:48,584 --> 00:54:50,760 same to Janelle. We know he didn't fucking do it 1019 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,939 to Robyn. So he might have made Christine 1020 00:54:52,939 --> 00:54:55,940 and Janelle feel like shit for a month before talking about it 1021 00:54:55,940 --> 00:54:59,460 on the couch where they feel like, oh, OK, well now we're 1022 00:54:59,460 --> 00:55:01,665 it's a joke. It's a joke. 1023 00:55:01,673 --> 00:55:06,675 She's such a fucking gaslighter. And I just feel bad for 1024 00:55:06,683 --> 00:55:10,826 Christine and Janelle because I feel like they kind of get 1025 00:55:10,834 --> 00:55:15,370 ganged up on in a different way here, where they're maybe the 1026 00:55:15,378 --> 00:55:20,410 easier of the wives, so they get gaslit more. 1027 00:55:20,418 --> 00:55:25,840 And yes, it's weird and we're seeing it here, but it's not 1028 00:55:25,848 --> 00:55:28,279 necessarily being called out and then it's being passed off as a 1029 00:55:28,279 --> 00:55:31,120 joke with one of them. At this point we get a 1030 00:55:31,128 --> 00:55:33,145 commercial break and when they're teeing up the commercial 1031 00:55:33,145 --> 00:55:36,783 break, you know they do a coming up on and Meri is holding 1032 00:55:36,783 --> 00:55:38,780 Solomon. We're getting a flashback to 1033 00:55:38,788 --> 00:55:41,919 Meri holding Solomon in Robyn's room after Robyn pushed that 1034 00:55:41,927 --> 00:55:46,107 baby out of her cootie and when she volunteered to be Meri 1035 00:55:46,115 --> 00:55:48,142 surrogate. And there's a voice over from 1036 00:55:48,150 --> 00:55:51,720 Kody that I wrote down because I'm like, this is fucking Kody 1037 00:55:51,728 --> 00:55:54,642 fucking Brown. We've got a lot of things 1038 00:55:54,650 --> 00:55:57,700 happening once we move into the houses, but I'm actually most 1039 00:55:57,708 --> 00:56:00,560 anxious about Meri making a decision about whether we're 1040 00:56:00,568 --> 00:56:02,415 going to have another baby or not. 1041 00:56:02,423 --> 00:56:06,836 And I feel like it's a decision for both of us, yes or no, and 1042 00:56:06,844 --> 00:56:08,949 that's what we're going to go with. 1043 00:56:08,957 --> 00:56:12,462 And it's like you, they keep playing this clip on the coming 1044 00:56:12,462 --> 00:56:15,242 up ONS and the commercial breaks is him saying yes or no. 1045 00:56:15,242 --> 00:56:16,600 And that's what we're going to 1046 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,960 go with. We hear it like 4 times in this 1047 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,880 episode because of all of the previews of when we actually see 1048 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,800 it. And it's like, you know what, 1049 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,920 fuck you Kody. It's just gross. 1050 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,800 The way he talks about things is disgusting. 1051 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,720 He's gross. Very gross. 1052 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:34,560 So we could potentially be ending this in the same spot 1053 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,240 here. We're going to be talking about 1054 00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:39,000 the merry baby decision yet again. 1055 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,242 I don't know, maybe, maybe not. 1056 00:56:42,250 --> 00:56:47,995 We're going to take a little recess and come back to it. 1057 00:56:48,003 --> 00:56:51,575 Gather our thoughts, regain our strengths, become, I was going 1058 00:56:51,583 --> 00:56:54,440 to say better people, but we know that's not true. 1059 00:56:54,448 --> 00:56:56,088 Just a different people different. 1060 00:56:56,096 --> 00:56:59,384 Prepare our loins. 00. For this decision. 1061 00:56:59,392 --> 00:57:01,524 Oh God. Well, Kody does grill later in 1062 00:57:01,532 --> 00:57:04,385 the episode, so you know I I could get my loins ready to be 1063 00:57:04,393 --> 00:57:08,170 burned. Tenderize our meats. 1064 00:57:08,178 --> 00:57:11,002 Absolutely.
