1 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,800 What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done. 2 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,160 Goodbye. You. 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,720 Shut it off. Do not twist my words. 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,200 Do not make me a victim, sweetie. 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,360 Just look at the mountain. That's what you. 6 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,160 Saw that day just the knife in the kidneys over all these years 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,720 and the sacrifices that I made to love you. 8 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,720 Season 6 episode 4 odd wife. Out Kimber, Do you ever feel 9 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,360 like the odd wife out? On occasion, there are times 10 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,280 when you and my husband make me feel like the odd wife out, you 11 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,800 know? But it is what it is, I can live 12 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,880 with it. I'm definitely the even wife in 13 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,440 for sure when it comes to your husband. 14 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,000 He doesn't have to really fight with me, you know? 15 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,280 So we are going to go to the new homes yet again for the 100 16 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,360 thousandth time without many changes, for a landscape 17 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,240 walkthrough which I didn't know was a thing. 18 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,440 No first time for me. I think that this is a bunch of 19 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,480 bullshit. I think a landscape walkthrough 20 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,080 Virgin is the title I would give myself officially a. 21 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,200 Landscape. Walkthrough touched for the very 22 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,720 first time by those plants and the sprinklers and the curbs and 23 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240 all the things. And also because you don't 24 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840 landscape yourself. Wow. 25 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,920 That's landscape Virgin. That's hateful. 26 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400 That's hateful. We are going to walk through the 27 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,600 landscaping of the homes but also go into the homes. 28 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,680 AKA this is just another reason to go back to the homes. 29 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,920 Like what the fuck? When they pull up, I think Meri 30 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:10,160 says they're like real homes. I'm like, yes, we've seen the 31 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,600 status of these homes being built and now they are real 32 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,520 homes and there are real landscaping things and there are 33 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,720 real driveways. There's real everything. 34 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Roll shrubbery. They're all like, it's so cool. 35 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,880 And I feel like I get hung up a little bit on their limited 36 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,720 vocabulary at times because I'm like, why is it cool? 37 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Why is it real? Why are these words, the words 38 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200 we're using? But then again, you listen to 39 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,560 this podcast, so you know the words we use. 40 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,640 I maybe I should attract my statement. 41 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,840 We do repeat a lot of the same words, but you know, everyone 42 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,040 has their own vernacular and this is theirs, real and cool. 43 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,440 Yeah, absolutely. So we go into Christine's home, 44 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,120 so apparently this isn't just a landscape walkthrough. 45 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,400 And we get into the kitchen and she starts crying and she says 46 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280 it's so pretty. Then we cut to Robyn on the 47 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,280 couch and Robyn says, I love your tone of voice. 48 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,840 It's like you're describing the person that you love. 49 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,880 Oh my gosh. And that would be Kody. 50 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,680 And I don't think I could even count on all my fingers and my 51 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,480 hands and my toes and my penis the number of times that I've 52 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,760 heard Christine speak about Kody like this. 53 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,120 She's always talking about him with such affection. 54 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,760 So I know why Robyn would say that. 55 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,960 It totally makes sense, yes. The affection of that brand new 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,080 kitchen. Kody reminds us that they still 57 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,640 need to do final approvals, they still need to get their final 58 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,480 financing, the blah blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda. 59 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,440 And how this is the first time in three years they'll all live 60 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,874 next to each other, and it'll be the first time that Robyn 61 00:03:46,874 --> 00:03:53,560 lives near them as a family. We get the wives walking through 62 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,440 the yards to get to the next like houses and Meri and Robyn 63 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,720 joke about how there's a wall between their yards. 64 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,440 And then Meri says some like offhanded comment. 65 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080 Well, there's a wall between us too, Robyn. 66 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,880 And it's like we actually know that you 2 are the only ones 67 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,600 that don't have a wall up between you, kind of so. 68 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,720 Like if anything they have what, 1/2 wall? 69 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,720 A Midget wall? There's some sort of term for a 70 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,040 short wall. 1/2 wall, right? Probably yelling it at us right 71 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,360 now. You know, they're doing this 72 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,240 physical thing like there's a wall between US. 73 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,920 Oh, and Christine comes up behind and like, bulldozes 74 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,040 between them, like she's breaking the wall down. 75 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,960 It's very symbolic. Very Christine. 76 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200 When they get to Robyn's backyard, she points out how she 77 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,360 wanted that large patio pour for their family gatherings. 78 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,800 And her patio, it's there. It's this big square concrete. 79 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,400 Thing, the slab, the slab, the big old slab is there for her 80 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760 entertaining yard purposes. I'm not surprised that Robyn 81 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,120 likes a big slab. I feel like that's kind of her 82 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,720 vibe. It really, really is. 83 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,720 Well, I take that back. She's with Kody, so probably a. 84 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,960 Shrunken slab. An odd shaped slab. 85 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,200 A left hanging. Hey, you know what? 86 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,936 One of the balls usually hangs a little higher or lower than 87 00:05:10,936 --> 00:05:12,120 the other. But we're not talking about the 88 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,680 balls, Chris. Those would be the shrubs. 89 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,160 See, you're right. I'm not as good with landscaping 90 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,200 as I pretend to be. I'm such a liar and a fraud. 91 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,840 Yeah, apparently she's planning on entertaining a lot, so we'll 92 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:24,240 see how that goes with the future. 93 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,600 Of course we get another reminder that they want to be in 94 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,440 by Christmas. We have to talk about that every 95 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,360 goddamn episode that they want to be in by Christmas. 96 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,600 So they want to be in by Christmas. 97 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880 Thank you for the reminder Brown family and Robyn cuts in. 98 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,280 Just one. Just one is all we need on the 99 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:42,200 couch. And it's like Oh my God, imagine 100 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,920 being the other wives sitting in a confessional moment on the 101 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,320 couch where one person is saying 1 is all we need. 102 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,760 Knowing that Kody has said please prioritize Robyn's home. 103 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,520 We want Robyn's home to be done 1st and it's like you bitch. 104 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,200 Well, yeah, they pointed out when Janelle and Christine were 105 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,528 having their Kiki outside of the real estate agency, they 106 00:06:05,528 --> 00:06:08,000 pointed out that those two weren't going to be. 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,880 Their homes weren't going to be finished, but their financing 108 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,320 was going to be done. Whereas it was a vice versa for, 109 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,480 you know, Meri and Robyn, their homes would be done, but their 110 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,960 financing wasn't done yet. So we all know based on hints 111 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,600 and clues at this point, that Robyns is supposedly going to be 112 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,640 done first. And it's kind of set up that 113 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,040 way. So it's like, yeah, you're 114 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,640 sitting in front of everyone. You're saying, oh, we just need 115 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,160 one, just one to be done. And we all know you're thinking 116 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,560 it's going to be yours, so that's why you don't give a shit 117 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,480 if more than one is done. She's making it sound like all 118 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,600 we need is 1 when in all reality it's like all you're hoping 119 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,720 for is 1 and then the others are like bonuses. 120 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,560 Like if they happen, they happen because she's so supportive of 121 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,680 her sister wives. Yeah. 122 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,280 We get a moment with Mona outside and we'll discuss Mona's 123 00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:01,560 appearance momentarily, but what she says is I know they all 124 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,440 wanted to be in by Christmas and I don't see that happening. 125 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,828 Oh, a dramatic moment to camera, but I was a little distracted 126 00:07:09,828 --> 00:07:13,440 by Mona's appearance. Darling, what does Mona look 127 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,480 like? What's happening here? 128 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,640 She looks like Blossom from the TV show Blossom. 129 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,360 She's got from Blossom. Blossom from Blossom. 130 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:27,440 She has a bucket hat on with this huge ass like fake Daisy on 131 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,520 it, like felt Daisy. And, you know, she's wearing 132 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,160 this really weird long trench coat type of thing that's brown, 133 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,160 but the hat is black and Gray. And yeah, Mona is Blossom. 134 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,864 In this moment, she is Blossom. 135 00:07:43,872 --> 00:07:48,376 It was an odd combination. And for any of you who have not 136 00:07:48,376 --> 00:07:52,860 seen the show, Mona is a short woman and she's tiny. 137 00:07:52,868 --> 00:07:56,626 She is small, yes. And so for her to be wearing 138 00:07:56,634 --> 00:08:00,182 this trench coat and then this hat that is probably too big for 139 00:08:00,182 --> 00:08:02,863 her head, but it was just what was available. 140 00:08:02,871 --> 00:08:06,638 It's sitting kind of low on her that it's got this big flower on 141 00:08:06,638 --> 00:08:09,420 the front and she's got this trench coat and it's like, what 142 00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:11,382 is happening? Here it looks like a cartoon of 143 00:08:11,382 --> 00:08:12,980 two kids pretending to be an adult. 144 00:08:12,988 --> 00:08:15,448 Yes. Like I thought it was a man, but 145 00:08:15,448 --> 00:08:17,801 it was two children in a trench coat and a. 146 00:08:17,809 --> 00:08:20,844 Trench coat, Yes. And then she's got this like, 147 00:08:20,852 --> 00:08:24,560 80s hair that she kind of always has the, like, fuzzy blonde 148 00:08:24,568 --> 00:08:26,992 hair. And it's in a clip, like a claw 149 00:08:26,992 --> 00:08:30,066 clip under the hat, so at the base of her neck, which just 150 00:08:30,074 --> 00:08:31,435 seems very uncomfortable to me. Yeah. 151 00:08:31,443 --> 00:08:34,304 I just don't think I could wear a clock clip that low on my 152 00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:36,030 head. Yeah, it feels like that would 153 00:08:36,038 --> 00:08:38,599 be uncomfortable. You say with your luscious long 154 00:08:38,599 --> 00:08:40,659 locks. Well, I mean I can understand 155 00:08:40,668 --> 00:08:43,240 and appreciate. Goldilocks across from me over 156 00:08:43,248 --> 00:08:47,515 here. The porridge was just right. 157 00:08:47,523 --> 00:08:49,647 It's like Chris, that's not the story. 158 00:08:49,655 --> 00:08:54,555 Then we cut to Christine's rental home, where she is 159 00:08:54,563 --> 00:08:57,170 starting to pack. Apparently, you know, there's 160 00:08:57,178 --> 00:09:00,423 some boxes, there's some tape, there's her, there's some of her 161 00:09:00,423 --> 00:09:03,310 children. She's asking the kids to start 162 00:09:03,318 --> 00:09:06,300 packing boxes and Mckelty gives her some kind of guff. 163 00:09:06,308 --> 00:09:08,450 I'm not sure what was going on with that. 164 00:09:08,458 --> 00:09:11,547 So we've got like the complete opposite ends of the spectrum 165 00:09:11,555 --> 00:09:13,335 here. We've got Aspen and Christine 166 00:09:13,343 --> 00:09:17,469 who wrote up this list so that they would stay on track with 167 00:09:17,477 --> 00:09:19,714 packing. And so at the very beginning of 168 00:09:19,714 --> 00:09:23,386 the clip, Aspen is kind of delegating and talking to the 169 00:09:23,394 --> 00:09:27,880 camera about this list and what it's going to do to help them 170 00:09:27,888 --> 00:09:29,710 get done on time and yadda, yadda. 171 00:09:29,718 --> 00:09:34,168 And then we cut to Christine and Mckelty, the wonderful Mckelty 172 00:09:34,176 --> 00:09:39,480 that has a lot of jokes. And Christine says, you know, 173 00:09:39,488 --> 00:09:44,236 you need to be packing. And Mckelty jokes and says, oh, 174 00:09:44,236 --> 00:09:49,495 I was thinking of taking a nap. And Christine gets pretty upset 175 00:09:49,495 --> 00:09:54,492 and kind of raises her voice and goes, you are not you do 176 00:09:54,492 --> 00:09:56,400 this. And Mckelty laughs, like, 177 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,920 obviously it's a joke, mom, whatever. 178 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,680 And you can tell Christine's like sick of her shit. 179 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,200 Like, she does this all the time. 180 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,080 It's not a joke to her. Like Mckelty perhaps takes a nap 181 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,440 or two when she shouldn't. Like, yes, you know. 182 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,520 Well, Mckelty is too cool for school. 183 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Yeah, I've always said that. I've always said that. 184 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,280 She is, though, isn't she? And you know, it's another 185 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,880 juxtaposition here because we get Aspen in the organization, 186 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,240 we get Mckel T and the jokes, and then we get some serious for 187 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,160 realness. Oh, some serious For realness, 188 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,320 Yeah. Are you talking about the moment 189 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280 with Isabel? Yes. 190 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,120 Yes, there's this moment with Isabel where it seems like she's 191 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,840 being prompted or asked questions. 192 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,560 It's, you know, a mini, what do they used to call it, like live 193 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,680 interview or something. Like a real time interview, not 194 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:47,120 on the couch or anything like that. 195 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,680 And she's talking to camera about how hard it's been not 196 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:55,080 seeing her dad very much recently. 197 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,360 And they all love seeing Kody, but they don't get to see him 198 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,280 often when they move to the new houses, he can just jog from 199 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,760 house to house. And her delivery of this feels 200 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,880 so coded in a emotion of like, where's Dad? 201 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,800 And like, disappointment, longing, just longing. 202 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,200 OK, that might not be the right word. 203 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,640 Well. No, I think you're actually 204 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,000 right. When saying longing, she says 205 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:28,280 that everyone wants to see dad and nobody can. 206 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920 And it's like what the fuck does that mean? 207 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,520 What does that mean? Nobody can? 208 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Like we are trying to get a hold of our dad and nobody can see 209 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,400 him. That's what it means to me. 210 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:42,640 My reading between the lines is that he's spending at least 50% 211 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,490 of his time at Robyn's house and then distributing the other 212 00:11:46,490 --> 00:11:50,840 time primarily probably between Christine and Janelle. 213 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:57,560 Janelle #2, Christine #3 and Merry Occasional and we. 214 00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,720 This is a narrative that happens throughout the show. 215 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,000 Is Kody not being a part of his children's lives? 216 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,360 Literally not being present. And so getting these kernels at 217 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,040 the beginning or towards the beginning as we're going through 218 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,800 the journey, it just sucks to hear. 219 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,520 It makes me feel really bad for the kids, but not Robyn's kids. 220 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,680 It makes me feel bad for everybody else's kids because 221 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,080 it's like, Kody's clearly not around. 222 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,600 And they're clearly confused by it. 223 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,560 Everyone wants to see him and nobody can. 224 00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:32,120 It's like that would be so confusing as a child just to all 225 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,480 of a sudden you're up and moved in the middle of the night, 226 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,360 nobody told you ahead of time. And then their lives change in 227 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,120 an instant. They go from living in the same 228 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,080 house as their siblings to pulled apart living in separate 229 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,440 houses, seeing their dad every day because he was upstairs or 230 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,880 downstairs to what the fuck. Now I'm not even seeing my other 231 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,880 two moms because let's take Robyn out of this. 232 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,120 She wasn't a part of it. And now I'm not seeing my dad 233 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,640 and everyone wants to see him but nobody can. 234 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,680 The wording of that, the vocabulary there is very 235 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,200 childish. She's just confused. 236 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,560 Nobody can. Like nobody can see him. 237 00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:17,640 Like nobody knows why, but nobody can see him. 238 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,240 And I imagine paralleled with the experience of Kody not being 239 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,240 around, I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to kind 240 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,400 of constantly be trying to paint a better picture of your 241 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,720 children's father to them. Yes, right. 242 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,280 Like Christine particularly, but I maybe less Janelle and less 243 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,200 Meri, but there's probably this thing where you have to always 244 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,040 be making it sound like Dad's great and Dad's doing the best 245 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,059 he can and whatever while you're fighting your own battles 246 00:13:47,059 --> 00:13:49,946 about the anxieties of not seeing him and having to deal 247 00:13:49,946 --> 00:13:52,880 with all of that, like, well. Like Dad's the king. 248 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,320 Like Colleen, our favorite ex polygamist. 249 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,680 Yeah, You know, everybody makes it about Dad. 250 00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,440 Everyone makes Dad the special one. 251 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,320 He's the king. When he comes to the house, he's 252 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,480 king. And so the children are confused 253 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,200 as to like what's going on all of a sudden. 254 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,440 Right. And that's another crazy 255 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,920 juxtaposition. His dad's not there. 256 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,096 But then when he shows up, it's like we're all supposed to 257 00:14:15,096 --> 00:14:16,144 stop. Everything revolves. 258 00:14:16,152 --> 00:14:18,960 Everything's about him, everything's about making him 259 00:14:18,968 --> 00:14:22,004 happy in this moment. And so that must be what my 260 00:14:22,012 --> 00:14:25,880 life's about because when I'm a good kid, he comes around and 261 00:14:25,888 --> 00:14:30,240 when we behave, he comes around and he's the special one that we 262 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,530 want to come to our house that is held at Bay like a prize. 263 00:14:35,538 --> 00:14:39,520 Like it's very fucked up. Sticking on the theme of 264 00:14:39,528 --> 00:14:42,927 packing, we're going to head on over to Robyn's rental. 265 00:14:42,935 --> 00:14:44,872 Robyn, everyone's favorite sister, wife. 266 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,140 And she tells us she went to a lawyer to have her last name 267 00:14:49,148 --> 00:14:53,360 changed from Sullivan to Brown, which is Roll Cole. 268 00:14:53,368 --> 00:14:56,448 Roll Cole. It's like rolly, Rolly Cole, Oh 269 00:14:56,448 --> 00:14:59,742 my God, these people. She says when the process is 270 00:14:59,750 --> 00:15:03,654 complete, she wants to wrap the paperwork up and give it to Kody 271 00:15:03,654 --> 00:15:07,419 for Christmas. If only she knew that Kody was 272 00:15:07,427 --> 00:15:09,918 such a Grinch at Christmas. The other wives are like, Kody 273 00:15:09,926 --> 00:15:12,435 hates Christmas and she's like, oh, I'm going to give him this 274 00:15:12,443 --> 00:15:15,146 gift for Christmas and it's going to touch him in places he 275 00:15:15,146 --> 00:15:16,850 hasn't been touched by his other wives. 276 00:15:16,858 --> 00:15:20,688 Oh, I'm going. To warm him up with this gift. 277 00:15:20,696 --> 00:15:23,830 This piece of paper. This paper in a package. 278 00:15:23,838 --> 00:15:28,082 She also says that if she could sign the house paperwork in her 279 00:15:28,082 --> 00:15:30,818 new last name, it would be really special. 280 00:15:30,826 --> 00:15:33,840 OK, Let me kind of give her that. 281 00:15:33,848 --> 00:15:35,876 Yeah. I mean, if you would give a 282 00:15:35,884 --> 00:15:38,440 normal person that, I don't know if we need to give Robyn that. 283 00:15:38,448 --> 00:15:42,938 I don't think I'd be in too much of A rush to change my last name 284 00:15:42,938 --> 00:15:47,336 just because you have kids in your other last name too and 285 00:15:47,344 --> 00:15:50,762 it's probably more convenient for their sake being away from 286 00:15:50,770 --> 00:15:52,709 their father to have the last name. 287 00:15:52,717 --> 00:15:56,294 Shit gets weird when you change your last name. 288 00:15:56,302 --> 00:15:59,104 It gets so weird and especially when there's kids involved. 289 00:15:59,112 --> 00:16:02,672 It's certainly not uncommon to hear of particularly divorced 290 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,400 people, women not changing their last names back to former or to 291 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,910 new spouses name because their children have that former last 292 00:16:10,918 --> 00:16:14,538 name of theirs, you know, her supposed former last name, blah 293 00:16:14,538 --> 00:16:18,848 blah blah. So it's it totally aligns to the 294 00:16:18,848 --> 00:16:21,997 whole polygamy thing, right? Like he's the king and it would 295 00:16:21,997 --> 00:16:24,624 just make me feel so great if my last name was his. 296 00:16:24,632 --> 00:16:27,350 It's like, bitch, I thought that you already had four last names 297 00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:28,760 according to your last credit poll. 298 00:16:28,768 --> 00:16:31,540 Like they. Told you not to do this you 299 00:16:31,548 --> 00:16:33,628 dumbass. Especially before the houses. 300 00:16:33,636 --> 00:16:36,620 The houses. Oh my gosh, how amazing. 301 00:16:36,628 --> 00:16:39,954 In an alternate universe, she gets rejected for the mortgage. 302 00:16:39,954 --> 00:16:40,320 She. 303 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,400 Applied for the mortgage in her old last name and then she's 304 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,320 applying for the home in her new last name you dumbass. 305 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,640 That would have been so good. Jesus, you failed me. 306 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,120 You failed me. But when you. 307 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Talk to your Sky friend, you have failed us yet again. 308 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,160 You have failed us again. Curses. 309 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,160 Now, Speaking of Dad, Robyn's going to fill us in on a 310 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,800 supposed trip to Montana to visit said biological father. 311 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,358 Her kids are supposed to be going to Montana to see their 312 00:17:13,358 --> 00:17:17,440 dad right around when she might get into her new home. 313 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,160 God. That terrible, terrible man she 314 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,598 had to run away from in the middle of the night and that was 315 00:17:22,598 --> 00:17:24,040 horrible to her and her children. 316 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,560 The kids are going to go visit him in Montana and her and Kody 317 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,040 are going to drive them there to visit him. 318 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,000 OK. All right, And she's like 319 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,440 yelling at the kids about packing already at this point. 320 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,040 We get way more yelling about the packing later on, but she's 321 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,960 like yelling at the kids about needing to pack for their trip 322 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,760 but yelling at them to pack for the new house. 323 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,720 So here's boxes, here's a suitcase. 324 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,920 Figure the fuck out. She lets us know that this will 325 00:17:54,920 --> 00:18:01,040 be her first real home. And she brings up how they were 326 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:07,520 forced to move from Utah. And they flashback, of course. 327 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,440 Of course they have to flashback whenever they're talking about 328 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,000 being forced to move from the Lee High home. 329 00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:16,600 Yes. And she says in the clip, oh, 330 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,040 the paparazzi somebody saw. Tabloid honey, the tabloid. 331 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,960 The tabloid. Tabloid. 332 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,920 Yes, not even the paparazzi. This was back when tabloids were 333 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,080 a thing. The tabloid and then she's 334 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,894 talking about how they're forced to move to Vegas, and I 335 00:18:33,894 --> 00:18:38,280 noticed that she's wearing a Las Vegas baseball cap. 336 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:43,000 Yep, crazy, crazy. It's one of those details I did 337 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000 not notice and you pointed out to me and I'm like, wow, she's 338 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,760 literally wearing a ball cap that has like curly letter Las 339 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,720 Vegas on the brim or whatever. So you knew this was happening. 340 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,120 You've been planning on it. You're not being forced like 341 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:03,720 you're shopping for new Las Vegas propaganda hat wear and 342 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,800 yet you're being forced to move from Lehi, UT. 343 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,440 Like get out of here. Honey, maybe it was a hand me 344 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,400 down from her mom with the mustache or her step uncle daddy 345 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,800 who live in Las Vegas and it's just a coincidence that they 346 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,000 were forced to move to Nevada. She specifically says we had to 347 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,920 move to Nevada, something like that. 348 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:27,440 And it's like, why was Nevada the state you had to go to? 349 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,480 I don't think you were forced to go to Nevada. 350 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,160 No, I think that that's the place you chose. 351 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,240 But it gets worse. It always gets worse. 352 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,000 It. Always gets worse with Robyn. 353 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,920 She says that she's cautious about new homes due to all the 354 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,050 disappointment in her own life. 355 00:19:45,058 --> 00:19:49,760 She doesn't make promises to her kids that she can't keep, and 356 00:19:49,768 --> 00:19:54,280 she doesn't want to tell them anything until it's final, until 357 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,756 they're about to walk through the door. 358 00:19:57,764 --> 00:20:04,525 So she has this whole spiel that she feeds us about how she's 359 00:20:04,533 --> 00:20:07,680 never had a real home. This is her first home. 360 00:20:07,688 --> 00:20:10,620 And because of all the disappointment in her life and 361 00:20:10,628 --> 00:20:14,744 moving so much, she never ever wants to disappoint her sweet 362 00:20:14,752 --> 00:20:18,408 baby angels. In the same clip, you're forcing 363 00:20:18,408 --> 00:20:22,404 them to pack for a move into a home that you haven't signed on 364 00:20:22,404 --> 00:20:25,560 yet and got the keys for yet. It's like all we've been 365 00:20:25,568 --> 00:20:28,402 introduced to through the show is decisions made by the parents 366 00:20:28,402 --> 00:20:31,340 where if the kids are fortunate enough to know about 367 00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:33,315 it beforehand, they're skeptical because they don't 368 00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:35,960 believe them. And then the big move was out of 369 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,800 nowhere, and she's teeing it up like, oh, well, this is just 370 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,680 what I do to, like, protect my children. 371 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,760 It's like what, girl? Hello, you fucking liar. 372 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,440 I wonder how long? Fucking liar. 373 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,640 I wonder how long the kids knew that they were going to go to 374 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,440 Dad's house. Like I wonder when that was 375 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,400 sprung on them. Like was it that morning? 376 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,960 And she might have even this is the sick nature of like what 377 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,000 goes to my mind when I think about women like Robyn, that she 378 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,480 probably didn't tell her kids. And she probably was like, oh, 379 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,471 we're going to get into our new home today, but oh, it's 380 00:21:10,471 --> 00:21:14,000 Daddy's turn to see you, so we've got to leave. 381 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,760 Like we're probably not going to get the keys on time because 382 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,960 it's Daddy's turn to see you guys. 383 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,720 I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say. 384 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,680 I have to take you like in my mind. 385 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,240 And I don't think I'm wrong. That bitch. 386 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,080 Like, I think that this is what's going on. 387 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,360 I think that there's a lot of manipulation behind the scenes. 388 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,880 I think she's probably lying. We're going to get further into 389 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,315 this and she gets more about the woe is me, the kids need to 390 00:21:41,315 --> 00:21:42,980 see the home, blah, blah, blah. 391 00:21:42,988 --> 00:21:46,122 They haven't seen it yet. And it's like, no, bitch, you 392 00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:49,322 just wanted your keys before you left town because if you didn't 393 00:21:49,322 --> 00:21:52,360 get your keys before you left town, you wouldn't get them for 394 00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:54,574 five fucking days because of the holidays. 395 00:21:54,582 --> 00:21:59,836 So it's like she's manipulating her children into like, Oh well, 396 00:21:59,836 --> 00:22:04,282 I would just love for them to stay because this is so special 397 00:22:04,282 --> 00:22:09,232 to see their first home and getting the keys in the home. 398 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,790 She's so fucking manipulative it's insane. 399 00:22:11,798 --> 00:22:17,095 They're packing for a move and she's saying to us, the viewers, 400 00:22:17,095 --> 00:22:20,655 that she doesn't make promises that she can't keep and she 401 00:22:20,663 --> 00:22:22,732 doesn't tell them anything until it's final. 402 00:22:22,740 --> 00:22:25,670 I always believe Robyn, whatever she says. 403 00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:29,686 TLC pays some bills with a commercial break. 404 00:22:29,694 --> 00:22:33,565 And then we're at Janelle's rental where Kody and Janelle 405 00:22:33,573 --> 00:22:38,460 are making the bed in their lover's bedroom, their master 406 00:22:38,468 --> 00:22:43,260 suite, their priMeri suite, their lover's den, where the 407 00:22:43,268 --> 00:22:47,967 magic happens, where they rub their lips together. 408 00:22:47,975 --> 00:22:51,800 They're completely virus free lips. 409 00:22:51,808 --> 00:22:59,550 Meanwhile this entire episode, every couch moment with Janelle 410 00:22:59,550 --> 00:23:03,522 is like girlfriend. Yep, I'm so sorry you're so 411 00:23:03,530 --> 00:23:05,900 uncomfortable right now. Yep, like she's in some pain. 412 00:23:05,908 --> 00:23:07,985 She's in some pain and that's what it is. 413 00:23:07,993 --> 00:23:09,791 You know, there's some burning, there's some tingling, there's 414 00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:12,480 some, Oh my God, my lips gonna peel off my face moments. 415 00:23:12,488 --> 00:23:14,027 And that's what's happening with Janelle. 416 00:23:14,035 --> 00:23:18,582 Little bit of Joker vibes. I need to mention here that they 417 00:23:18,582 --> 00:23:23,700 are making it very, very clear which houses are rentals and 418 00:23:23,708 --> 00:23:30,904 homes at this point because every bottom like third that we 419 00:23:30,904 --> 00:23:36,165 get is where they're located. So it's like Janelle's rental, 420 00:23:36,173 --> 00:23:39,020 Robyn's rental, Meri's house, Robyn's house. 421 00:23:39,028 --> 00:23:43,311 So they're making it like this huge differentiation each time 422 00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:47,762 they go back and forth between a home, a rental, a house, blah, 423 00:23:47,770 --> 00:23:51,070 blah, blah, the new build, the rental, whatever you want to 424 00:23:51,078 --> 00:23:53,120 call them. Yes, this episode, every time 425 00:23:53,128 --> 00:23:55,580 there is a transition from location to location, they're 426 00:23:55,588 --> 00:23:59,822 telling us where we're going. I feel like in previous episodes 427 00:23:59,822 --> 00:24:03,796 and seasons, if we get an introduction the first time 428 00:24:03,804 --> 00:24:07,080 we're at someone's home, we're far less likely to see that 429 00:24:07,088 --> 00:24:08,503 bottom third again when they return. 430 00:24:08,511 --> 00:24:10,114 It's usually only the other one time. 431 00:24:10,122 --> 00:24:12,360 It's usually just the first introduction and then throughout 432 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:15,088 the episode you just kind of surmise where we are. 433 00:24:15,096 --> 00:24:18,208 This episode, it is very clear. It's almost like you're hit over 434 00:24:18,208 --> 00:24:20,320 the head by it. I was a little distracted by 435 00:24:20,328 --> 00:24:21,086 how. Every. 436 00:24:21,094 --> 00:24:24,040 Time the scene was happening, it was like Meri's rental blah, 437 00:24:24,048 --> 00:24:27,343 blah blah's rental blah blah. It was like, OK, we got it, I 438 00:24:27,351 --> 00:24:29,360 thought. But I guess it's because we're 439 00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:33,294 going to be making a transition into the cul-de-sac. 440 00:24:33,302 --> 00:24:39,946 Janelle tells us that her and Kody have had the same lover's 441 00:24:39,954 --> 00:24:44,152 mattress for 10 years now. Why I think she's a liar and a 442 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,846 fraud is because it's not just one mattress. 443 00:24:45,854 --> 00:24:48,408 But she did not call it a lover's mattress you guys. 444 00:24:48,416 --> 00:24:52,852 She called it our fuck pad. And her fuck pad is actually not 445 00:24:52,852 --> 00:24:58,660 a king size mattress. It is 2 twin mattresses pushed 446 00:24:58,668 --> 00:25:01,660 together and. Underneath. 447 00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:07,414 These two twin mattresses pushed together well, and I love it. 448 00:25:07,422 --> 00:25:12,264 I love it because I feel like I have to give you some credit for 449 00:25:12,264 --> 00:25:16,097 the Lucy and I. Oh, I Love Lucy bit I love. 450 00:25:16,105 --> 00:25:19,299 Lucy and Desi, you know, it's not like the twin beds are on 451 00:25:19,307 --> 00:25:21,440 separate sides of the room and they push them together for 452 00:25:21,448 --> 00:25:23,300 coitus. No, they're just pushed together 453 00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:26,087 all the time and they're. Like a ratchet strap around. 454 00:25:26,095 --> 00:25:27,120 Them. Yeah, exactly. 455 00:25:27,128 --> 00:25:29,902 And there's even reference to like, well, I guess we don't 456 00:25:29,910 --> 00:25:32,410 have to fall into the middle. And it's like, yeah, no, not 457 00:25:32,418 --> 00:25:34,880 because there's just a sunken middle where Janelle, you know, 458 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,160 plants her body every night. No, there's two mattresses 459 00:25:38,168 --> 00:25:40,984 pushed. Together there be a full on 460 00:25:40,992 --> 00:25:43,584 separation happening there there is a full on. 461 00:25:43,592 --> 00:25:45,995 There is a Grand Canyon in that band. 462 00:25:46,003 --> 00:25:50,540 What in the actual Frick frack? Yeah, it was bizarre because 463 00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:53,114 when they're making the bed, it's already in progress. 464 00:25:53,122 --> 00:25:57,182 And then Kody, I think, pulls up the foot of the bed bedding. 465 00:25:57,190 --> 00:26:00,440 And so you see the two mattresses and the two box 466 00:26:00,448 --> 00:26:02,235 springs, which the twin box springs. 467 00:26:02,243 --> 00:26:04,464 That's what happens when you get a king bed, right? 468 00:26:04,472 --> 00:26:07,246 2 box springs. But the mattress is like, oh 469 00:26:07,254 --> 00:26:09,842 God. And as the scene was wrapping 470 00:26:09,850 --> 00:26:13,583 up, I just couldn't help it because I'm, you know who I am. 471 00:26:13,583 --> 00:26:15,600 I was looking around the room of 472 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,520 the footage and it's like there's a bookshelf and a small 473 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,680 bookshelf and a desk and a chair and a chair and another chair. 474 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,600 And it's just like all of this shit in this room. 475 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,560 And I just, I feel claustrophobic watching the 476 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,040 scene. I couldn't even do like making 477 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,120 that bed was probably you can only move that Janelle can only 478 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,200 move sideways in her bedroom. She cannot walk forward unless 479 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,840 she's going out the door. Exactly, there's so much stuff 480 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,513 lining the walls, including full armchairs on either side of 481 00:26:44,513 --> 00:26:46,400 the bed like. Lazy boys like what is. 482 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,200 Yeah, like leather lazy boys. Oh my God, so bizarro. 483 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,040 And yet there is no headboard or foot board. 484 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,560 There are just two pushed together twin mattresses, Love 485 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,840 Lucy style. No headboard, but like an 486 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,080 overabundance of all the other furniture pieces you would 487 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,040 probably not want in your bedroom. 488 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,240 I just. And of course, the bookshelf had 489 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,200 all these books Askew in every possible way. 490 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,760 And I was like, I can't even imagine that Janelle's read any 491 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,680 of these books. I mean, I shouldn't say that she 492 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,720 might be a reader. It just, oh God, it's just a 493 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,960 mess. Well, they're about to go and 494 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,960 get romantic. The romance is going to be 495 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,120 alive, honey. Yes, they are different in the 496 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:33,200 way that they find their romance. 497 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,000 The way that they find their romance is pragmatic, so that 498 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,360 when they get intimate, it can be a little bit awkward. 499 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,320 Like what? Their love is pragmatic, so when 500 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,400 they end up getting intimate together, yeah, sure, it can be 501 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,640 a little awkward. But the way that they, like, 502 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:57,760 laid this out for us was like Kody stumbling over how to lay 503 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,320 out his relationship with Janelle in a sexual way. 504 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,080 And it was so fucking weird how he laid it out for us. 505 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,803 I have the exact quote, Darling, I would like to you know this 506 00:28:05,803 --> 00:28:08,800 is very this is a serious broadcast. 507 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,600 Yes, Janelle and. I. 508 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,480 Janelle and I have a relationship that finds romance 509 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,800 in very pragmatic things, and so every once in a while when we 510 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,760 get romantic, it just seems slightly awkward. 511 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,230 Who says this about their wife? 512 00:28:31,238 --> 00:28:34,242 Like, OK, you can acknowledge that the pragmatic is how you 513 00:28:34,250 --> 00:28:38,640 connect as people, but to say that when you get romantic, it's 514 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,548 slightly awkward. They don't even know. 515 00:28:41,556 --> 00:28:44,475 And then, and this is the thing. So now they're going to go 516 00:28:44,483 --> 00:28:47,776 shopping for a mattress, right? Because, oh, these two twin beds 517 00:28:47,776 --> 00:28:50,176 pushed together, they've had them for 10 years. 518 00:28:50,184 --> 00:28:53,064 This is just not, this isn't going to work for us. 519 00:28:53,072 --> 00:28:56,800 So all of a sudden this is going to be an awkward situation to 520 00:28:56,808 --> 00:29:01,245 shop for a mattress with your wife in a retail store with like 521 00:29:01,245 --> 00:29:03,447 bright overhead lights and a salesperson. 522 00:29:03,455 --> 00:29:06,229 It just, it's, I don't understand. 523 00:29:06,237 --> 00:29:09,520 Maybe it's because I'm not part of the cult, I don't know. 524 00:29:09,528 --> 00:29:11,440 It's just doesn't make any sense to me. 525 00:29:11,448 --> 00:29:15,420 Well, Kody has to declare that mattress shopping wasn't 526 00:29:15,428 --> 00:29:19,440 awkward. Like, of course, you guys, we 527 00:29:19,448 --> 00:29:22,300 get the footage of them mattress shopping and it's just as 528 00:29:22,308 --> 00:29:26,990 alarming as you would expect, but it's like he has to share. 529 00:29:26,998 --> 00:29:30,720 Wait. Oh, by golly, this wasn't an 530 00:29:30,728 --> 00:29:32,965 awkward situation. Listen, shopping for a bedroom 531 00:29:32,973 --> 00:29:35,800 set is about as intimate as I've been with a man. 532 00:29:35,808 --> 00:29:37,328 I've never. I've never been touched. 533 00:29:37,336 --> 00:29:39,440 I've never been felt, I've never been penetrated. 534 00:29:39,448 --> 00:29:42,200 I've never sucked, tweaked, or any of the like. 535 00:29:42,208 --> 00:29:46,183 But I have shopped for a bed and I want you to know it was not 536 00:29:46,191 --> 00:29:48,337 awkward. It could be a little awkward if 537 00:29:48,337 --> 00:29:51,320 you saw the bottoms of Janelle's hooves as she jumped 538 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,560 onto the beds. Filthy, filthy, filthy hooves. 539 00:29:54,568 --> 00:29:57,920 Oh. Golly, someone wash them with 540 00:29:57,928 --> 00:30:01,215 their hair.

They're in the store. 543 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,255 And of course, you know, if you've ever shopped for a 544 00:30:10,263 --> 00:30:13,087 mattress in a store, you know that usually the mattresses are 545 00:30:13,087 --> 00:30:15,344 bare. But there's that thing along the 546 00:30:15,344 --> 00:30:19,090 foot thing, the last. Like 4 inches, 5 inches of the 547 00:30:19,098 --> 00:30:21,130 bed. Don't ever rely on Kimber to 548 00:30:21,138 --> 00:30:24,350 measure anything. The last 24 inches, literally 2 549 00:30:24,350 --> 00:30:26,860 feet has that like plastic barrier. 550 00:30:26,868 --> 00:30:29,685 So you you can swing your feet up there and you're not going to 551 00:30:29,685 --> 00:30:33,824 make the mattress all filthy. So we get to see Kody taking his 552 00:30:33,824 --> 00:30:36,254 shoes off and Janelle taking her shoes off. 553 00:30:36,262 --> 00:30:38,826 We don't get to see the details. I'm kind of glad about that. 554 00:30:38,834 --> 00:30:40,229 But they're, you know, sliding off. 555 00:30:40,237 --> 00:30:43,910 Heeling them off like using the other heel to pull them off. 556 00:30:43,918 --> 00:30:47,282 Kody hops on the bed, kicks his feet up, puts his hands behind 557 00:30:47,290 --> 00:30:49,624 his head, and he's like, oh, yeah, this is it. 558 00:30:49,632 --> 00:30:51,414 I'm a man. I'm a man. 559 00:30:51,422 --> 00:30:54,935 And Janelle, you know, she gets her shoes off eventually. 560 00:30:54,943 --> 00:30:56,835 Here click click, click, click click. 561 00:30:56,843 --> 00:31:02,422 And then she kind of rolls up onto the bed and lets her feet 562 00:31:02,430 --> 00:31:05,138 drop, and they're not even on the thing. 563 00:31:05,146 --> 00:31:07,820 They're on the white mattress. They're on the white mattress 564 00:31:07,828 --> 00:31:09,587 and it looks like Hobbit's feets. 565 00:31:09,595 --> 00:31:12,170 And they're feets because this is it. 566 00:31:12,178 --> 00:31:14,380 She's not a tall woman, and she's not even extending her 567 00:31:14,388 --> 00:31:16,921 legs all the way. It's like she's curled them up 568 00:31:16,929 --> 00:31:19,206 by her torso. And it's like, what are you 569 00:31:19,214 --> 00:31:21,220 doing?

This year is their 20th year 585 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,560 anniversary. And this won't just be the 20 586 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,240 year anniversary gift.

The intimacy, the romance. 594 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:39,040 I've always wanted to lay on a mattress in a store and look at 595 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,440 my partner in the eye while the salesperson was there and say 596 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,360 honey can we please put this on layaway? 597 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:55,680 Just imagine the intimacy. If anyone listening knows Rosie 598 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,120 O'Donnell, I would really appreciate an introduction 599 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,200 because we need a blue light special or Martha Stewart. 600 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,720 The very Kmart layaway vibes. Let's get one of those 601 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,040 spokespeople in from the 90s and really bring Janelle full 602 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,400 circle. After this scene that really 603 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,960 moved us, Janelle and Kody are on the couch and I was really 604 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,760 distracted because they're both wearing jeans on the bottom and 605 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,040 blue tops on the top and blue tops on the top. 606 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,000 It was just a lot of blue. It was like blue everywhere. 607 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,560 It's mostly because Janelle is wearing her favorite texture, 608 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,440 silk. She wears a lot of silk tops. 609 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,400 Well honey, you know you want to show off every fold, nook and 610 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,280 granny. The black silk top that was 611 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,480 notorious for a while. Now we've got the blue silk top 612 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,600 that's about to be notorious. Notorious and her eyeliner is 613 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,600 borderline goth vibes. It's very heavy. 614 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,280 It's very Oh my God here we are and I was thinking she looks 615 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,600 really tired or something like her bags under her eyes. 616 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,280 She just looks like she hasn't slept in days. 617 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,120 Turn of the Ursula Shadow The Ursula eyeshadow combined with 618 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:11,400 the dark liner that happens normally, combined with the blue 619 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,360 washing around and the shine off of the blue extra washing 620 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,840 around. She looked tired. 621 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,280 It was potentially her worst look yet. 622 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,880 And that's saying something like it was rough. 623 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,679 It was rough. And then you've got Kody sitting 624 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:30,719 next to her who just looks like a Bobby twin or something, but 625 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,679 like the less horrible version because he's, you know, doesn't 626 00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,719 look so tired. But yeah, maybe I've retracted 627 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,639 my less horrible. I don't know. 628 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,360 Then we cut to what we are being told by Kody is our final 629 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,040 walkthroughs of the houses. I was a little thrown off 630 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,320 because his clip makes it sound like we're going to go to every 631 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,360 house in a row and that's what's going to happen. 632 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,760 But that's actually not what happens. 633 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,239 We get some other things in between. 634 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,280 So I was a little like, what the fuck's going on here? 635 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,200 But you know, then I took a drama mean and I'm I'm back 636 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,240 here. The person you love. 637 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,920 It's weird. They start the entire episode 638 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:10,090 doing the landscape, and then we go into Christine's home and 639 00:35:10,090 --> 00:35:13,662 see the kitchen where she tears up and calls it her first and 640 00:35:13,662 --> 00:35:18,640 only true love. And then now we've had all this 641 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,400 other stuff in between all the rentals, rentals, rentals. 642 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,840 And now we're doing final walkthroughs again. 643 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,600 So I think this is the first day still with cuts in between. 644 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,080 Oh, like there was still. So there was just one entire 645 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,160 walkthrough in all the homes and. 646 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,480 That could be. That could be, yeah. 647 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,760 I didn't notice their clothing changing or anything. 648 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:37,400 I wasn't. Watching. 649 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,600 I should have looked. I know you're usually better 650 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,680 and. Here I am noticing this shiny 651 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,080 ass blue shirt and I'm like missing all the rest of it. 652 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,200 Blinded by your nose blouse? Yeah, probably. 653 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,880 Kody hopes everything is OK with their walkthroughs so that 654 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,960 there's no more delays. Of course, we all know they want 655 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,760 to be in by Christmas, in case you didn't catch that. 656 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,600 They're joined by that guy from Pinnacle Homes, the VP of blah 657 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,280 blah blah. Insert name here. 658 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,000 I don't know, did you catch his name? 659 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:10,240 Daniel Builder, Daniel. Daniel, I hope I remember that. 660 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,520 I probably won't. So whatever that guy's name is, 661 00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:16,600 is meeting up with Kody and Robyn, being joined by Mona to 662 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,920 enter Robyn's house to go inside and take a look around. 663 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,840 They go to walk into the house and Robyn declares you are 664 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:31,520 walking into my Sister Wives closet headquarters. 665 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,080 Inspirational. I thought that the elevator Bay 666 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,560 was really moving. The fountain in the middle 667 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,520 really gave it that classy touch. 668 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,400 Giant knuckles rising from the ground with their three heads 669 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,969 perched on top like a bear claw. 670 00:36:43,977 --> 00:36:48,095 There's 4 heads, you lunatic.

No, what she's talking about is 673 00:36:56,318 --> 00:36:58,616 literally a space like we're recording in right now. 674 00:36:58,624 --> 00:37:02,740 Like it was like a bedroom or a guest room or the office. 675 00:37:02,748 --> 00:37:05,267 She's just insane, and that's Robyn. 676 00:37:05,275 --> 00:37:08,312 The headquarters. When they get into the kitchen 677 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,292 during this final walkthrough, Robyn talks about the double 678 00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:14,455 convection ovens that she has in her kitchen and how she'll be 679 00:37:14,463 --> 00:37:17,080 able to cook four different things at four different 680 00:37:17,088 --> 00:37:19,610 temperatures without burning any one of them. 681 00:37:19,618 --> 00:37:25,640 Oh, it's just a wonderful. Kody has a pretty much the most 682 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,078 disgusting thing to say because it's sexist, but it's also like 683 00:37:30,078 --> 00:37:32,578 he's hitting on her well.

They're in their own little 726 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,440 world, but they're acting out what they believe is like the 727 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,160 cute and sexiest thing to do for the other one. 728 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,360 It's very weird. Now it is night time and we're 729 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,360 going to transition to Meri's rental, which they have told. 730 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,440 This is Meri's rental on the bottom 3rd as we discussed, we 731 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,650 are told every single time we go anywhere where we are and 732 00:40:04,650 --> 00:40:06,535 Kody's speaking to the entire family. 733 00:40:06,543 --> 00:40:10,760 He has little saw up on his shoulders and he's being all 734 00:40:10,768 --> 00:40:15,175 listen, I am the patriarch. I am here to tell you something. 735 00:40:15,175 --> 00:40:16,840 And he's telling everyone about 736 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,640 how they should be showing respect to the parents because 737 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,040 of moving into a home, which thank God, is a little bit of a 738 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,320 throwaway comic because I was like, where is this going? 739 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,240 But it transitions into how everyone should be helping out 740 00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:30,440 to create their family mission statement. 741 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,520 But when he started with the whole, you know, we deserve some 742 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,800 respect because we're getting you guys into some homes. 743 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,840 I'm like, who starts out a speech to their family by saying 744 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,280 you children should respect us because we're going to provide 745 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,320 you housing?

Is just putting on his show as 749 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,200 per usual, trying to get the attention of the family when 750 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,520 Christine is really the one that's in charge of this. 751 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,120 I was going. To say intervention, but it's 752 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,000 not. It's a meeting. 753 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,120 Yes, it's a family meeting. Family Meeting. 754 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,400 Yeah, family mission statement. 755 00:41:07,408 --> 00:41:11,295 Finally, we're getting to the family mission statement. 756 00:41:11,303 --> 00:41:15,692 Christine says that it's very important with a family as big 757 00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:19,276 as theirs and with all the kids that are about to leave that 758 00:41:19,284 --> 00:41:23,220 they come up with this and that they have this family mission 759 00:41:23,228 --> 00:41:25,725 statement. Yeah, she says that she's 760 00:41:25,733 --> 00:41:28,512 literally panicking about the kids growing older and wondering 761 00:41:28,512 --> 00:41:30,860 if they've taught them everything they needed to teach 762 00:41:30,860 --> 00:41:32,480 them. It's like panicking. 763 00:41:32,488 --> 00:41:34,174 OK, that's some interesting language. 764 00:41:34,182 --> 00:41:36,974 She has a few interesting choices this episode with her 765 00:41:36,982 --> 00:41:39,641 language. Yeah, this isn't the first time 766 00:41:39,641 --> 00:41:43,027 that they've mentioned particularly Christine and 767 00:41:43,035 --> 00:41:47,756 Janelle have said like the exact phrasing, that they're worried 768 00:41:47,764 --> 00:41:50,828 that they didn't instill things on the older ones. 769 00:41:50,836 --> 00:41:55,160 I don't know if I clocked it that Meri says that specific 770 00:41:55,168 --> 00:41:57,367 thing that she's worried about. No. 771 00:41:57,375 --> 00:41:58,984 She's too busy texting a stranger. 772 00:41:58,992 --> 00:42:02,675 No, because seriously, Christine and Janelle have said that we're 773 00:42:02,675 --> 00:42:05,275 worried we haven't instilled the right morals in them and 774 00:42:05,275 --> 00:42:07,542 blah blah blah. Yeah, I think Janelle was on 775 00:42:07,550 --> 00:42:10,400 that train last season, like she was all about that. 776 00:42:10,408 --> 00:42:13,984 With Logan leaving, she was so concerned that she hadn't 777 00:42:13,992 --> 00:42:18,450 instilled the the gospel of our Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith. 778 00:42:18,458 --> 00:42:21,162 What will be interesting to? Hear your story when your kids 779 00:42:21,170 --> 00:42:24,074 are getting ready to leave, I'm going to go honey, Do you think 780 00:42:24,074 --> 00:42:25,183 you've instilled the right values? 781 00:42:25,191 --> 00:42:26,940 Have you taught them the right lessons? 782 00:42:26,948 --> 00:42:30,320 It'll be an interesting thing. You know, I'll be on vacation, 783 00:42:30,328 --> 00:42:32,504 I'll be on a beach somewhere, and I'll be just checking in 784 00:42:32,512 --> 00:42:34,348 with you about shipping your kids off somewhere. 785 00:42:34,356 --> 00:42:36,645 And I'll just say, yeah, because you know what? 786 00:42:36,653 --> 00:42:39,120 I was the perfect parent. I never questioned myself. 787 00:42:39,128 --> 00:42:43,962 I did everything great. And yeah, so Christine has given 788 00:42:43,962 --> 00:42:49,228 some prompts to the children to help build this family 789 00:42:49,228 --> 00:42:55,217 mission statement. And she starts asking who has an 790 00:42:55,217 --> 00:43:00,507 answer to question #1 and it's like, well, hopefully they all 791 00:43:00,515 --> 00:43:02,356 do. If they couldn't make it past #1 792 00:43:02,356 --> 00:43:04,900 you got a bigger problem here. I didn't see a lot of hands go 793 00:43:04,908 --> 00:43:07,996 up for number 1 though. I think there was just maybe 1. 794 00:43:07,996 --> 00:43:09,040 Yeah, I maybe. 795 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:14,360 And then we hear the question that was prompted. 796 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:22,280 We are at our worst when and Mckelty has to answer with her 797 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,000 sarcastic ass saying we're at our worst when we're together 798 00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:29,840 because we're loud and obnoxious. 799 00:43:33,240 --> 00:43:36,040 And Christine just rolls her eyes and you can tell she's kind 800 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,640 of embarrassed. And she goes, I'm just going to 801 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,160 say we're at our worst when we're obnoxious. 802 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,360 I'm like, OK, that's totally going. 803 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,720 In your family mission statement, that's going. 804 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,880 To make the edit for sure. Please don't be obnoxious. 805 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,360 Yes, part of our mission statement is we're obnoxious 806 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,360 when we're together. And then we get our next 807 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,800 question, or perhaps you know, 1 of 1000 questions as Janelle 808 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,800 would like us to believe. Janelle's fucking over this a 809 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,560 lot. And the answer comes from Aspen. 810 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:11,720 And the question is, in 30 years, we want people to say our 811 00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:16,000 family. And then, Aspen says, has 812 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,280 constantly stayed close. It's a little sad in hindsight, 813 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:26,120 you know, watching them do this as a big family exercise and 814 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:31,760 then like, they're not close. Janelle tells us that this whole 815 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,120 activity is tedious, and there are moments where the camera 816 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,640 pans to her and she is yawning during the exercise. 817 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,960 And they, you know, these producers, editors are good. 818 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,240 Sometimes they give us clips of her where it's like. 819 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,160 She was straight up. They didn't need to show that or 820 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,760 like they show it a little long to emphasize kind of some point 821 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,000 we're supposed to get, even though that's not what's being 822 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,360 said. So I kind of like that. 823 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,520 Yeah, we get the Christine no bad answers. 824 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,320 And Janelle, Oh my God, this is tedious. 825 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,640 It's taking fucking forever. How many questions are there? 826 00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:03,400 Yes. And of course, contrasted to 827 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,520 Janelle's yawning and tedious comments is Christine with a 828 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,320 giant pad of paper writing down what people are saying while 829 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,480 it's on an easel. And it's like I do kind of feel 830 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,160 a little cringe, like when you're sitting there watching 831 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,240 someone write shit on a big piece of paper and it's like 832 00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:19,520 they're it takes time to do that. 833 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,440 So I'm sure it just felt like it was going on and on and on. 834 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,754 You know, and then your daughter is feeding you like these 835 00:45:25,754 --> 00:45:28,940 stupid ass answers and you've like had enough of her already 836 00:45:28,940 --> 00:45:31,440 for the day. Yes, you have to write her 837 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,920 bullshit down because you told everyone there were no bad 838 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,680 answers. For the day, the week, the 839 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,000 month, or maybe our year, Literally, Mckelty, you've 840 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,800 you've spent it. You spent your budget. 841 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,080 Yeah. And then we get a fabulous 842 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,840 moment from Kody on the couch, filling us in on his life and 843 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,926 his dreams and his goals and his past, and he says that about 844 00:45:50,926 --> 00:45:54,440 10 to 15 years ago, he felt like a failure. 845 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,400 Oh, excuse me, a failure as a husband and a father. 846 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,840 He feels like a fireman. He feels a lot of things, honey. 847 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,080 He feels, he feels. He feels. 848 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,600 What are some of the things he feels honey? 849 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,520 We get so many great analogies from Kody Brown, don't we? 850 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,640 We just do. Yeah. 851 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,800 And Kody says that he feels like a fireman, always putting out 852 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,680 fires. And these new homes, well, he 853 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,640 just wants it to make him feel like an architect. 854 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,600 Oh, OK. So building his future rather 855 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,840 than reacting to fires. If that took him more than 5 856 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,000 seconds to come up with, God bless him. 857 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,600 God bless. Him, like, he thinks about these 858 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:44,760 things for a while and then he sets up like when he will be 859 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,640 able to say it. And it didn't really even make 860 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,040 sense. Yeah, They just did an interview 861 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,520 moment with Kody like after the scene, and it's like it doesn't 862 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,440 build on anything or add to the next thing really. 863 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,920 Right, because we're talking about a family mission statement 864 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,760 and what our family goals are. And then there's this random 865 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,080 cutaway to him talking about how he felt like a failure before 866 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,240 and now he's hoping to be an architect because they're 867 00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:10,520 building new homes. And then we move on to the next 868 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,200 scene. Yeah, and we're at Meri's new 869 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,800 home, not a rental, her new home. 870 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,720 Oh yes, the new home on the cul-de-sac. 871 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,400 Oh Meri, you never disappoint with your Meri isms. 872 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,040 Really. She brings it. 873 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,960 She brings it this episode. So Meri and Kody are at her home 874 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,520 for this final walkthrough. Not to be confused with the 875 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,787 landscaping walkthrough, or the driveway walkthrough, or the 876 00:47:36,787 --> 00:47:39,560 two by four walkthroughs where Christine thought that maybe the 877 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,960 boards were spontaneously combust ever. 878 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,640 You know, this is the final walkthrough and we start with 879 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,320 Meri. Meri, quite contrary, standing 880 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,040 at the back of her island in the kitchen, glancing forward, 881 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,960 questioning whether the two pendant lights hanging over the 882 00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:02,280 kitchen island are even. So we just go balls deep into 883 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,960 Meri, tearing apart the new home, which I appreciate. 884 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,640 Yeah, and these pendant lights are like hanging on those 885 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,240 chains, you know, from the ceiling. 886 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,960 So maybe a chain is like 1 clink off. 887 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,200 Right. Or the pendant which the builder 888 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,960 guy Daniel. Daniel yeah, look at. 889 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,080 Me. Look at me. 890 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,120 You know, maybe the pendant is literally hanging a little bit 891 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,880 at a different angle because they're hanging from chains and 892 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,600 literally these probably are the cheapest lights from the 893 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,760 cheapest place you could cheaply buy a cheap thing. 894 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,280 And so yeah, they're not hanging. 895 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,840 Maybe perfect. It doesn't, It's not clear from 896 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,680 the footage. It doesn't look like they're 897 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,800 off. But you've got Meri standing 898 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,000 back there evermore. The disciplinarian, not the 899 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,200 abuser, the disciplinarian looking at the pendant lights. 900 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,080 And 1 is a little different. And Daniel, the builder's trying 901 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,360 to talk some sense into her like, well, let me do. 902 00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,040 He's literally like moving one of the lampshades, like maybe 903 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,640 it's just like a little whatever. 904 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,920 And I'm not sure if that satiated her or not, but Kody 905 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,880 jumps in with a quote saying this is the thing about 906 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,360 marriage. And so this is what we got. 907 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,320 We got to hear more about marriage from Kody Brown. 908 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,680 This is the thing about marriage. 909 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,440 The thing that you love the most about your wife could also be 910 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,714 the thing that drives you crazy. 911 00:49:20,722 --> 00:49:25,635 And it's like, so the thing you love most about Meri is her anal 912 00:49:25,635 --> 00:49:27,509 retentiveness. OK. 913 00:49:27,517 --> 00:49:31,870 I imagine Meri in this moment being like, do you know those 914 00:49:31,878 --> 00:49:36,150 yardsticks that like, curl up? And I imagine him having like a 915 00:49:36,150 --> 00:49:39,626 yardstick and like, slapping it out and it turning into like an 916 00:49:39,626 --> 00:49:42,846 entire yard of like a wooden measuring stick. 917 00:49:42,854 --> 00:49:50,424 Beating her with it, no. Trying to show her that she's 918 00:49:50,432 --> 00:49:53,630 fucking wrong and then her whipping a level out of her 919 00:49:53,638 --> 00:49:57,070 sleeve so. We got like 1 upping each other. 920 00:49:57,070 --> 00:49:58,720 Putting the level down and 921 00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:02,480 showing him. The pendant isn't quite my. 922 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:07,000 God. Now Meri has not even moved from 923 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,160 the spot planted firmly in the kitchen behind the island, 924 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:17,047 staring into the family room and all of a sudden, her, you 925 00:50:17,047 --> 00:50:21,028 know, razor vision, her laser vision, her, Oh my God, I am 926 00:50:21,028 --> 00:50:22,880 here to inspect. I'm here to inspect. 927 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,800 She's in the family room. Her eyes are in the family room, 928 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,560 scoping left to right, up to down. 929 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:32,720 And she sees that the mantle above the fireplace isn't 100% 930 00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:35,720 level. In fact, the right side is up 931 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,640 maybe 116th of an inch from the left side. 932 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,160 And I hate to do this, you know, I hate to do this, but Meri is 933 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,360 right. It's crooked. 934 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,880 It's a little wee bit crooked. But I'm not sure if it means 935 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,520 that the tile 'cause, you know, there's that builder grade huge 936 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,720 ugly tile that's going up the fireplace front. 937 00:50:56,240 --> 00:50:58,320 It's like, is the tile just a little off? 938 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,040 And so the mantle's actually flush, but the tiles a little 939 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:02,680 crooked. Or is it that the mantle? 940 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,480 I'm not sure that Meri's Cyborg vision could really determine 941 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,640 that. But it does suck because if I 942 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,200 was to see that I would be like, are you fucking kidding me? 943 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,960 The mantle's not even straight with the tile. 944 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,160 And it could be a trick of the camera as well to agree with 945 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,600 her. And Kody says that he could put 946 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,440 a marble on that mantle and he bets it wouldn't roll he. 947 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,622 When you're talking about things he's pulling out of his 948 00:51:26,622 --> 00:51:29,296 sleeves, one of them is a marble, but it has like a, 949 00:51:29,296 --> 00:51:32,160 it's like a fake marble, like a trick marble, yeah. 950 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,600 It's a trick marble. It's a flat. 951 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,040 Bottom and he just puts it on the mantle and he's like same 952 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,640 air is that. Mirror. 953 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,640 It's not a crook at all. So absurd. 954 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,920 I am literally picturing them one upping each other and like 955 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,200 pulling out different tools that they have in their. 956 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,200 And Meri's like, oh, you know, I always have a spare marble on 957 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:53,720 me. Like, Oh my God, where does this 958 00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:54,600 even come from? Oh. 959 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,720 God. Meri tells us. 960 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,400 It's not like I'm trying to be picky or find fault at all. 961 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,640 I mean, we are paying for the house. 962 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,640 I'm going to have to look at these things. 963 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,040 And it's true. I told you I'm like, why 964 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,440 wouldn't you build something that's like, I imagine like a 965 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:17,120 flower box you put outside a window and just make a kind of a 966 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,920 cube, elongated cube thing out of wood and just slide it onto 967 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,440 the mantle because it's totally made out of drywall or plaster 968 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:25,360 it. Looks like shit. 969 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,200 It looks like shit regardless. It looks like someone just 970 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,600 protruded out thing from the wall. 971 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,600 And out things like a shelf you mean? 972 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,200 Yeah, like a shelf. Thank you. 973 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,440 Only the best here on this podcast. 974 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,920 And so it's like, why don't you just build a box thing and just 975 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,080 shove it over it because it would totally look fine. 976 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,080 Then it would actually look intentional and higher end. 977 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,720 Meri also is crafty and she's got fucking time on her hands. 978 00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:49,706 Why doesn't she do these things? 979 00:52:49,714 --> 00:52:53,634 Why doesn't she macrame it? Why doesn't she hodgepodge it? 980 00:52:53,642 --> 00:52:56,180 Yes. Why doesn't she quilt it? 981 00:52:56,188 --> 00:52:59,828 You know, make that fucking mantle however you want, bitch. 982 00:52:59,828 --> 00:53:01,160 It's up to you. 983 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,960 Well, it's an opportunity for her to make it her own. 984 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,880 Yeah, but Meri struggles with her indecisiveness. 985 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,600 And she also just is particular picky bitch. 986 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,040 So this is the thing, you know, she's going to stand in that 987 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,120 kitchen and she's going to look at those pendant lights. 988 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,320 They're not going to be even. That mantle is not going to be 989 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:18,880 even. She's going to have a mental 990 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,560 breakdown. Maybe she just has like laser 991 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,000 eyes that when they can't focus on things, when they're not 992 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,920 even, she gets like a horrible headache and she's just actually 993 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,880 a genius and we don't know it. That could be. 994 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:32,640 That could be. Yeah. 995 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,960 I was thinking that the mental breakdown when you don't get 996 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,502 what you want might be genetic. 997 00:53:36,510 --> 00:53:38,788 But I'm, you know, I'm getting ahead of myself here. 998 00:53:38,796 --> 00:53:41,822 I'm getting ahead of myself. Well, we are going to hear a 999 00:53:41,830 --> 00:53:45,492 little bit about her mom and how Meri has already invited her mom 1000 00:53:45,492 --> 00:53:47,945 to come and visit and help them move. 1001 00:53:47,953 --> 00:53:52,080 So now she's got to ask Mona what's happening with the move 1002 00:53:52,088 --> 00:53:53,669 and is it happening before Christmas? 1003 00:53:53,677 --> 00:53:57,020 Because my mom is coming to visit and she's coming to help 1004 00:53:57,028 --> 00:54:01,984 me move. No pressure, Mona. 1005 00:54:01,992 --> 00:54:04,160 Mom's here to help. Bonnie. 1006 00:54:04,168 --> 00:54:06,303 Beautiful Bonnie. The headache. 1007 00:54:06,311 --> 00:54:10,012 Mona tells her, I have to be honest with you. 1008 00:54:10,020 --> 00:54:13,682 It's not going to be this week. It's not going to be this week. 1009 00:54:13,682 --> 00:54:14,840 And I'm just trying to be honest 1010 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,800 with you. And Meri's question is? 1011 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:27,800 Oh oh so next Monday. Oh and Mona if looks could kill 1012 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,400 for once. Mona has a bitchy look on her 1013 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:35,120 face and she's like well next Monday is Christmas Eve and we 1014 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:36,960 will be closed. Yeah. 1015 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,120 Also, let's have a little mini flashback here. 1016 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,440 The number of times Mona has talked about the significance 1017 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,080 and importance of getting documents, getting all of their 1018 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:50,360 things in on time to prevent this very thing from happening. 1019 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,640 And Meri, who I thought of all of them would probably be the 1020 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,720 most on top of that. I don't really understand why 1021 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,200 she's the delayed one, but Mona's like, yeah, you know, all 1022 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,040 of the documents that you gave us, they actually do need to be 1023 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,400 reviewed. And that's not going to happen 1024 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,000 overnight. So it's not going to happen. 1025 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,280 Like she literally just sent Meri's in like that day or the 1026 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,040 day before she mentions. And you know, to Mona's credit, 1027 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,920 it doesn't look like she's enjoying breaking this bad news. 1028 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,040 It's totally like when you've been in that position where 1029 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,240 you're trying to warn someone that something's not going to 1030 00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:28,120 work out unless they follow a protocol or get something done 1031 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,000 by a certain time or do something, and then they don't 1032 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,600 do it. And then you're like, well, I 1033 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,920 guess this makes me the bearer of bad news, even though you 1034 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,120 should have seen this coming because I've been warning you 1035 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,240 the entire time. Right. 1036 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,440 And this is like the first official time that Mona comes 1037 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,760 out and says, well, it won't be by Christmas. 1038 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,480 She literally says it in this clip. 1039 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,480 So we're going to say like warning number one and be 1040 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,080 generous, even though it's been probably warning #3 now. 1041 00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,320 Warning, warning #1. Yep, you. 1042 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,160 Are not, I don't even think warning is right. 1043 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,680 I think it's more notification, like notification you are being 1044 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,520 notified. It's not even a warning. 1045 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,520 You are not going to be into your house by Christmas. 1046 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:14,600 She is straight up telling Meri it's not going to happen, not 1047 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,280 this house. And Meri and Kody do look 1048 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,600 disappointed. You can tell Meri's trying to 1049 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,360 like, hold back her feels a little. 1050 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,920 Part of me feels bad for her, but that's just because part of 1051 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:28,640 me is human. Just that little. 1052 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,400 Part. But then no, because you're like 1053 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,160 wanting them to change all these things before you move in. 1054 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,840 And we're finding out that Christmas Eve is five days away 1055 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,600 or like a week away. I don't know about and number of 1056 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,600 days. Because she says next Monday 1057 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,680 they'll be closed. So it's like, OK, it's at least 1058 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,680 let's give it the most days. Seven days out and you're 1059 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,400 wanting your mantle fixed. Right, like what would the 1060 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,280 action item be that the crew come back in and fix your 1061 00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:58,840 mantle? Before you move in. 1062 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,280 Delay and it's the week before Christmas that's. 1063 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,600 What I'm saying, like, Meri's probably given them so many 1064 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,160 fucking changes that it's like, how can you realistically even 1065 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,800 think that they could do the changes? 1066 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:12,960 You can close on the House. You haven't submitted your 1067 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:14,200 paperwork. Yeah. 1068 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,400 Lie number one. You're not telling Leon yet. 1069 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:23,240 It's like she's pretending she's Lulu or she's being to Lulu so 1070 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,200 that she doesn't have to tell her child. 1071 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,400 Like I said, disappointment runs in the family. 1072 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,640 Yeah, it's about to run real deep. 1073 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:35,240 Then we were once again blessed with a commercial break and now 1074 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,280 we're at Janelle's rental. They make sure to tell us it's 1075 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:41,480 her rental and everyone is gathering for a status meeting 1076 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:46,760 with Mona, and I think this might be a new era for Mona. 1077 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,800 I'm not quite sure. I think every time we get 1078 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,400 introduced to her, every new scene, she's got a completely 1079 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,520 different look. She's very Madonna this episode. 1080 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:59,022 Yes, Mona has switched her look up to a black leather jacket 1081 00:57:59,022 --> 00:58:03,040 and she's got these like fuzzy little flipped up clipped up 1082 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:07,880 hairs on the top of her head and she is looking like a biker 1083 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,080 chick. Oh that's right, the biker chick 1084 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:15,080 mixed with festive Christmas. Not a holiday, Christmas. 1085 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,800 Yeah, she kind of looks like 80s biker chick. 1086 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,960 With a red scarf. That might be celebrating 1087 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,720 Christmas. Exactly, She's going to the bar 1088 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,000 to play bingo, but she's got a Christmas scarf on. 1089 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,440 She's like had this jacket for the last 30 years. 1090 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,800 Yeah, it's definitely not new, and she tells the camera 1091 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,160 outside. I'm here to share some good news 1092 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,480 and some not so good news. Bum bum, bum. 1093 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,259 So when Mona is inside, they're all sitting around Janelle 1094 00:58:44,259 --> 00:58:47,400 table that you know, bar height table that's in her kitchen. 1095 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,080 She is totally one of those high tables with all the bar stools 1096 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:51,520 around. And it's funny, this is not a 1097 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,320 small family, even just Janelle portion of the family. 1098 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,840 So it's like the room is filled with bar strolls. 1099 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,560 It's just every room in these people's homes are just filled 1100 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,280 with shit. It's just like, Oh my God. 1101 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:07,560 It's so weird. So bar height tables were like a 1102 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:12,840 thing for a while in the 90s and my husband is 6/6 and he's the 1103 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,200 short one in his family. Right. 1104 00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:21,240 And so when they redid their basement bathroom, Dave's mom, 1105 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:25,720 who is 6 foot that jokes she's 512, whatever. 1106 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:30,280 Yeah, she was sick. So the boys went and built the 1107 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:34,480 bathroom downstairs. I'm 55. 1108 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,120 When I go in that bathroom in the basement, I have to sit on 1109 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,360 the counter to get ready. Like it is literally like a six 1110 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:47,160 foot tall counter. Yeah, and this family, like, is 1111 00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,480 not tall. The Browns are not super tall, 1112 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,200 no. So it's kind of funny. 1113 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,720 Like, why the fuck would you pick that? 1114 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:58,360 Like I can picture a tall family picking a table like that. 1115 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,070 I don't know, it's just kind of. 1116 01:00:01,078 --> 01:00:04,060 Was definitely of the time. Like my parents had a similar 1117 01:00:04,068 --> 01:00:06,060 table, right? Yeah, it wasn't the same size. 1118 01:00:06,068 --> 01:00:08,662 There weren't as many stools because we are a normal family. 1119 01:00:08,662 --> 01:00:10,080 Like your feets might be feet 1120 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,480 scenes. And exactly the. 1121 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,320 Table dangling. As you're saying your prayer 1122 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,240 before dinner? Yeah, kicking your feet like 1123 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,280 you're three years old. Like, OK, here we go. 1124 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,800 Oh, that's like me on the counter in the basement at my 1125 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,000 house's childhood home trying to do my makeup. 1126 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,240 Childhood home. Boyhood home. 1127 01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:31,640 Boyhood home boyhood home has tall counters that have a fuss 1128 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,840 going 70 years ago, the giants would use. 1129 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,480 That's where you trim your muffin. 1130 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,880 Trim your mutton shop. Muffin shop so crisp. 1131 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,280 Mona reminds Meri that she doesn't think Meri will be in by 1132 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,400 Christmas. Darling, I think you're keeping 1133 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:52,320 a tally of how many times Mona has told Meri in this episode 1134 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:56,320 alone that she will not be in her home by Christmas. 1135 01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:02,600 Are we up to #2? It has been a two Times Now as 1136 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:08,920 far as I am counting. So when it comes, when it comes, 1137 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,640 when it comes to Kimber and the girl math, let's go to. 1138 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,680 I confirm too. I confirm too. 1139 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,520 I have it written in quotes second time. 1140 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,720 Oh beautiful, beautiful. The man from the manosphere here 1141 01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,040 confirms your girl math. It has been two times. 1142 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,240 It just sounds so much better when it comes from your mouth 1143 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,360 than mine because you're on band. 1144 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,560 Christopher, this is it. When am I going to learn? 1145 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:39,920 When are you going to learn? Terrible. 1146 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,416 Another opportunity for Robyn to ask if at least one of them 1147 01:01:43,416 --> 01:01:46,840 will be in by Christmas, and another opportunity for me to 1148 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,160 want to strangle her through the TV screen. 1149 01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,640 Like bitch, shut up with the one person stop. 1150 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,360 Oh my God, we don't need any more reasons to not like you and 1151 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,625 you're just piling on top of it. 1152 01:01:59,633 --> 01:02:02,888 And Mona responds to Robyn's ridiculous question by saying 1153 01:02:02,896 --> 01:02:06,852 that she thinks someone will be in by Christmas because she 1154 01:02:06,860 --> 01:02:10,380 needs to grab Kody and Janelle right now because their 1155 01:02:10,388 --> 01:02:12,343 documents are available at title. 1156 01:02:12,351 --> 01:02:16,701 And they showed Janelle and she is so excited. 1157 01:02:16,709 --> 01:02:20,444 She's genuinely enthusiastic. It, I don't know, it made me 1158 01:02:20,452 --> 01:02:23,102 feel a little good to see Janelle so happy, even though I 1159 01:02:23,102 --> 01:02:25,180 was like, OK, Janelle, chill out a little bit. 1160 01:02:25,188 --> 01:02:28,122 Because you know, sometimes when people are a little too excited, 1161 01:02:28,122 --> 01:02:31,352 it's like you're showing all the gums and all the teeth and 1162 01:02:31,352 --> 01:02:33,475 all the body parts that we need to see. 1163 01:02:33,483 --> 01:02:36,867 Like, it's a bit much, but you know, it's nice that she's 1164 01:02:36,875 --> 01:02:39,276 excited. It's it's a cute, it's a cute 1165 01:02:39,284 --> 01:02:41,580 moment for her. She is showing it all off. 1166 01:02:41,588 --> 01:02:44,668 But yeah, you can tell that she's completely enthused and 1167 01:02:44,676 --> 01:02:48,766 caught off guard because right. I don't think she expected that 1168 01:02:48,766 --> 01:02:49,183 news. No. 1169 01:02:49,191 --> 01:02:52,264 And we had just had the conversation, you know, between 1170 01:02:52,264 --> 01:02:56,715 Christine and her about how it wasn't going to be that moving 1171 01:02:56,723 --> 01:02:59,620 in. And yeah, how you know, they had 1172 01:02:59,620 --> 01:03:03,784 a little Kiki about Robyn's probably going to be first, so. 1173 01:03:03,784 --> 01:03:05,240 Yeah, puke, Mona says. 1174 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,800 If they do the paperwork today and the walkthrough in the 1175 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,960 morning, the final walkthrough is where we thought we were 1176 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,000 going to do them all at once, but turns out that was probably 1177 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,960 actually one episode cut into several scenes, blah blah blah. 1178 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,600 Then they can get their keys after the walkthrough in the 1179 01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,000 morning. So it looks like Janelle might 1180 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,400 be able to get her keys the very next day. 1181 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:27,360 Enthusiasm, Excitement. Yay, Mona points to Hunter, 1182 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,560 smiling in the kitchen. And there's this enthusiasm 1183 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,840 level that totally builds and Kody's like, I think that that 1184 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,680 deserves a hug or whatever. And so Hunter goes around the 1185 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:42,720 table and gives Mona hug and I was literally ver clamped. 1186 01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,520 Like I had a little bit of moisture building up in these 1187 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,560 dry ass eyes because I was like, Oh my gosh. 1188 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,480 Hunter's giving Mona a hug and he looks so excited, like 1189 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,520 genuine enthusiasm. And I think as we were watching 1190 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,560 it, you pointed out that he kind of moves away like, oh shit, 1191 01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,200 I'm, I'm, I'm being too, you know, like he had that moment of 1192 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,640 I gotta be cool. That teenage embarrassment 1193 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,680 moment where he's, he's like smiling ear to ear, but he's 1194 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,160 trying not to like Cheshire cat style. 1195 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:09,920 Yeah. And it's pretty cute because you 1196 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:14,080 can tell he's got the like, teenage embarrassment going on. 1197 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,800 But it was a cute moment. Like it was just so great that 1198 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,680 he was there to overhear that news and and then seeing your 1199 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,280 mom be so excited about something, particularly when 1200 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,840 Janelle's definitely the most even keel of all of them. 1201 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,120 Yeah. Seeing her this excited is like, 1202 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,480 like, Oh my gosh. Yeah, Janelle's showing 1203 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,280 something here. It was cute. 1204 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,280 It was. And then we get an update about 1205 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:36,760 Christine. Yeah, she's clear to close. 1206 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,680 They're just waiting on the documents to come through, so 1207 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,680 they must have already filed everything and they're waiting 1208 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,640 on stuff to clear. So, you know, we got two people 1209 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:51,520 very close, the two exact people who we were told would not be 1210 01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,160 the ones moving in. Yeah. 1211 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,840 So paid to turn in your paperwork, ladies. 1212 01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:00,720 Ladies, and when we're talking about Janelle's enthusiasm, it 1213 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:04,720 was funny to see Christine's. I hope I'm not being too 1214 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,480 judgmental here. We don't like to judge on this 1215 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,960 podcast, but she was doing totally the like Hercules, 1216 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,440 Hercules was. Like, yeah, she was. 1217 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:13,560 She was. She was so excited. 1218 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,480 She was. Like involuntarily clapping. 1219 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,520 And I felt good for her in that. 1220 01:05:20,528 --> 01:05:23,960 Moment she expresses genuine joy very well. 1221 01:05:23,968 --> 01:05:27,226 Yes. And then Mona moves on to Robyn 1222 01:05:27,226 --> 01:05:29,060 for her status update with the homes. 1223 01:05:29,068 --> 01:05:34,707 She tells us Robyn is going to title tomorrow afternoon to sign 1224 01:05:34,707 --> 01:05:36,785 documents. She's been cleared for closing. 1225 01:05:36,785 --> 01:05:38,440 I think she might have said 4:00 1226 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,800 PM or something like 4:00 PM. We're going in to sign 1227 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,560 documents. You've been cleared for closing. 1228 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,880 More excitement, but less enthusiastic from the hosts of 1229 01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:51,640 this podcast. It's odd because the way that 1230 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,080 it's being described by Mona is very ambiguous. 1231 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,080 Like they're all doing different things with the documents and 1232 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,040 waiting on different stuff with the documents. 1233 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,400 So it's like. Well, the most important thing 1234 01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:06,520 for us to remember is that Meri is not going to be in by 1235 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,320 Christmas. And so Mona broke the bad news 1236 01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,360 first, which any reasonable rational person does. 1237 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,560 You break the bad news 1st and then you follow up with the good 1238 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,680 news and the music transitions to this emotional music. 1239 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:23,960 Oh God, it's like everyone has good news except for Meri. 1240 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,000 Yes, and Meri's been holding it all in. 1241 01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,360 With all her might, she's been holding it all in. 1242 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,000 Which is not really that well, her eyes are. 1243 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,240 Like she's like. Welling with tears. 1244 01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,320 Her face looks like it could like, cut through whatever. 1245 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,480 Her face could cut through like Oh my God. 1246 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,120 And this is where Meri says that she thought that her and Robyn 1247 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,960 would be in. And now that's just not it. 1248 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,080 Yeah, that's not what's happening. 1249 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,880 And I'm like. Her and Robyn would be in first. 1250 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:53,320 Right. That's not the case. 1251 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,400 I'm like, bitch, you're tattling on yourself. 1252 01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,800 You're upset right now because you thought it was going to be 1253 01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,640 you in there and not them, and now you're finding out it's the 1254 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,960 opposite, like. Well, girl, you're. 1255 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,320 I mean, I I'm. Not because she would have loved 1256 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,760 for it to be her and Robyn. I'm not disagreeing with that. 1257 01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,240 I think it's a combination of that and also just 1258 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,520 disappointment generally that she's not going to be in by 1259 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,520 Christmas. I I don't want to make it sound 1260 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,840 like she's because it sounds a little too villainy to be like, 1261 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,472 oh, I thought it was going to be me and Robyn, but then it 1262 01:07:23,472 --> 01:07:26,280 turns out it was Christine and Janelle like. 1263 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,471 But then why would you make that comment that you thought it 1264 01:07:29,471 --> 01:07:32,480 was going to be you and Robyn and now it's just not? 1265 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:35,160 It's like when you lose on a reality show, that's how it 1266 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,000 feels. Them vibes. 1267 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,040 And she is losing on a reality show. 1268 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,040 So yeah, I hear you. I hear you. 1269 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:42,640 I just don't want to mislead our our. 1270 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,600 Listeners, no. To me, it seems like to her some 1271 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,560 sort of prize and they would have won and they thought they 1272 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:54,240 were going to get it first and it's just odd, OK, I don't know. 1273 01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:58,044 So of course, after the meeting we get to transition to 1274 01:07:58,044 --> 01:08:02,190 everyone has left the table, people have moved on except 1275 01:08:02,190 --> 01:08:05,302 for Meri. Robyn and Kody are standing in 1276 01:08:05,310 --> 01:08:10,521 the family room and Meri is crying and we get this lovely 1277 01:08:10,529 --> 01:08:13,080 quote from Meri. I I honey. 1278 01:08:13,088 --> 01:08:17,826 Kody has to just give her this hug with his Ed Hardy Brown 1279 01:08:17,834 --> 01:08:21,207 sweatshirt on and pretend to comfort her as well. 1280 01:08:21,216 --> 01:08:25,776 And you see the full on like Tiger and Ed Hardy. 1281 01:08:25,783 --> 01:08:29,645 Yeah, yeah, it another of the time thing. 1282 01:08:29,654 --> 01:08:32,960 And also, you're putting your bed on layaway, but you're 1283 01:08:32,968 --> 01:08:36,094 buying Ed Hardy hoodies and guest shirts. 1284 01:08:36,102 --> 01:08:38,660 Yeah. I mean, it's not like we're here 1285 01:08:38,660 --> 01:08:41,886 to question anyone's financial choices, of course, but seems 1286 01:08:41,894 --> 01:08:45,698 questionable. So as Meri is sobbing and crying 1287 01:08:45,698 --> 01:08:49,720 and, you know, realizing for the second time that she's not 1288 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,720 going to be in by Christmas, she says. 1289 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:58,200 Leon keeps telling me they don't want anything for Christmas. 1290 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:03,359 They just want to be in the. House. 1291 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:09,439 It's like. And then Robyn is like trying to 1292 01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:14,439 console Meri's ass by like stroking her hair and then she's 1293 01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,600 like breaking the 4th ball and looking right at us and she 1294 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,680 goes. It was Leon's last wish. 1295 01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:28,160 We will have Christmas in the homes which is great. 1296 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:33,359 This was just kind of Leons last wish. 1297 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,120 She strokes for his hair. Last wish. 1298 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,560 I mean, I don't know, bit dramatic. 1299 01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,800 Strange way to phrase that. Very strange. 1300 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,880 Like have you been poisoning them? 1301 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,279 Like what's going on here? I. 1302 01:09:50,279 --> 01:09:53,920 Think Leon is still with us? I'm not sure that it's Leon's 1303 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,000 last wish. Although it looking like Leon's 1304 01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,480 ghost lately might be understandable. 1305 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,480 Like a corpse perhaps? The living dead. 1306 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,440 Shots fired. Now we're going to return to our 1307 01:10:10,440 --> 01:10:12,560 final walkthroughs. If you all remember when we 1308 01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,000 started that before we were going to go through these final 1309 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:16,600 walkthroughs. Now we're going to go to 1310 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:21,040 Janelle's final walkthrough, which Kody is relieved to do 1311 01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:25,160 because with Janelle, she's not really picky, especially in 1312 01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:28,480 comparison to Meri. And when he says that she's not 1313 01:10:28,480 --> 01:10:32,200 picky, I was waiting for her to react because he's saying this 1314 01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:33,840 on the couch like it's him and Janelle. 1315 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,000 They're giving us a heads up on what's going to happen. 1316 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,840 And I kept looking at Janelle going, is she even going to 1317 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,040 react? And she didn't. 1318 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,840 And I'm going, man, if I was sitting next to my husband and 1319 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,280 and he was to say, you know, Chris isn't picky, I'd probably 1320 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:52,480 go, are you kidding? I mean, even if I wasn't picky, 1321 01:10:52,480 --> 01:10:54,160 I'd be like, why are you saying it like that? 1322 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,560 He just, he's just such an asshole when he speaks. 1323 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,840 It's ridiculous. It's because he tries to pit him 1324 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,160 against each other, so he's trying to make her think that 1325 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,200 that's what he likes about her and that if she doesn't act like 1326 01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:05,440 that, he's not going to like her. 1327 01:11:05,440 --> 01:11:07,640 It's like. Right, Meri's terrible. 1328 01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,160 You're. Great manipulation, you know, 1329 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,360 like the good and the bad and the ugly. 1330 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,320 Say it in front of each of them and they'll each be what I need 1331 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:20,000 them to be. They do have some cute moments 1332 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,400 here, like Janelle starts crying on the couch and talking about 1333 01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:28,000 the move and how hard it was on Hunter and how devastating it 1334 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:32,720 was for him. And then she stops and she goes. 1335 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,160 But let's not talk about that. Yeah. 1336 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,920 Because they don't ever talk about anything serious, right? 1337 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:44,160 So then she moves on and says how excited they all are now and 1338 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:48,600 how excited Hunter is now and it's his sophomore year and that 1339 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:52,960 he is class president and that Ursula eyeshadow be Ursuline 1340 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:58,451 real hard because those eyebrows are raised and why you're 1341 01:11:58,451 --> 01:12:00,520 trying to move on from the hardship girl. 1342 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:07,720 Like, let's just glaze over the horrible fact that we surprised 1343 01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:11,040 us all in our children, didn't tell them, devastated them. 1344 01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:15,360 But now it's going to be great because they get a new home. 1345 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,720 Yeah, it was interesting to see a literal example of someone 1346 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:23,560 saying let's not talk about that in a 2 prong approach. 1347 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,560 One is their family dynamics of not actually addressing real 1348 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,160 things and never talking about anything or getting to the root 1349 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,200 of anything or real problem solving. 1350 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,560 And also from the perspective of it being a reality show, like 1351 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,240 they're sitting on a couch, probably being prompted to 1352 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,760 question and are supposed to respond to it. 1353 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,400 And Janelle's like, but let's not talk about that while she's 1354 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,760 in tears. I mean, I as a director would be 1355 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,520 like, stop, we are going back and you're talking about this 1356 01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:51,840 like you are crying. Like it's ridiculous. 1357 01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,960 So it just highlights the dysfunction in their family. 1358 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,760 But because it happened so quickly and then they move on to 1359 01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:00,960 the oh excitement of the new homes, it's almost like as a 1360 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,200 casual viewer you wouldn't get hung up on it. 1361 01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:06,640 This show is so full of these moments where as a casual viewer 1362 01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,160 you might just be like, OK, whatever. 1363 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,200 But in all reality, it's a big dull. 1364 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,360 You can tell by her eyes and the way that her eye shadows up to 1365 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:18,320 her eyebrows. And those bags under her eyes, 1366 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,560 that's the thing, right? We were talking about her 1367 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,160 confessional look and how she looks to be haggard, and maybe 1368 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:27,020 it's a result of these emotions that she's been going through 1369 01:13:27,020 --> 01:13:30,720 in these confessionals that she's not actually addressing. 1370 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,320 She could have been crying at the beginning of the 1371 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,200 confessional and that's what we were shown when it looked like 1372 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,360 she had bags. And then afterwards they're 1373 01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,560 showing the crying, yeah. Absolutely. 1374 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,040 Oh. Yeah, they're playing with that 1375 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,880 footage. And it was not working in 1376 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,400 Janelle's favor for this episode because at the beginning she 1377 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,120 looked like she was hit by a Mack truck. 1378 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,280 She did. And we're not talking about when 1379 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,760 she was dignitized by Kody because, you know, that's more 1380 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,080 of a like the tiniest U-Haul. And so it's like, you know, it 1381 01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,800 just she looked like a mess. And now we're seeing her crying 1382 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:02,560 and it's like, OK, the math is math. 1383 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,120 That makes sense. Yes. 1384 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:10,620 We get the most splendid part of that episode for me, and this 1385 01:14:10,620 --> 01:14:14,800 is Mr. Builder, Daniel, Daniel Builder. 1386 01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,680 Can we fix it? Can we fix it? 1387 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,600 Yes, we can. Yes we can. 1388 01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:24,000 He has to point out Kody's different personalities with 1389 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,560 each wife. Yes, he's outside of the homes 1390 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:28,920 like on the cul-de-sac having a 2 camera moment. 1391 01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:30,440 So he's obviously being asked about like. 1392 01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:33,840 Being asked question. Like to work with Kody and the 1393 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,640 wives or whatever. It's like a couch moment, but 1394 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:40,000 him standing outside of his workplace just hoping he can get 1395 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,480 free of all of this if he sells what they want. 1396 01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:44,760 Please sign the paperwork, give us the money. 1397 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,000 I want to be done with you people. 1398 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,920 Of course. So he's going to point out the 1399 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:52,240 different personalities that Kody has with each wife. 1400 01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:57,148 And we find out that number one, Janelle is very matter of 1401 01:14:57,148 --> 01:15:00,252 fact. He acts very a matter of fact 1402 01:15:00,260 --> 01:15:03,770 with Janelle, with Christine. He is jovial. 1403 01:15:03,778 --> 01:15:05,915 Jovial. Jovial like little cherubs with 1404 01:15:05,915 --> 01:15:09,560 their tushes in the air, Yeah. I was thinking Christmas 1405 01:15:09,568 --> 01:15:11,543 morning, but the cherub totally works. 1406 01:15:11,551 --> 01:15:15,244 Yeah, then we find out about Meri and what he really thinks 1407 01:15:15,252 --> 01:15:21,038 about Meri, which I think we all knew all along, is that Kody has 1408 01:15:21,038 --> 01:15:26,640 to be accommodating with her and that he senses that Kody 1409 01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:31,753 doesn't always agree with her. And this guy is so ready to be 1410 01:15:31,761 --> 01:15:35,208 done with her. And you can tell based on the 1411 01:15:35,216 --> 01:15:39,510 first clip where he's trying to fix the light that's uneven to 1412 01:15:39,518 --> 01:15:42,732 now he's like had enough of her shit. 1413 01:15:42,740 --> 01:15:48,616 And then he says that Robyn, it's like Kody is still in his 1414 01:15:48,624 --> 01:15:53,042 honeymoon phase with her. And it's been a very interesting 1415 01:15:53,042 --> 01:15:56,547 experience for him to see this all. 1416 01:15:56,555 --> 01:15:59,460 Interesting to work with them, honey. 1417 01:15:59,468 --> 01:16:01,050 Yeah. How many times have you said 1418 01:16:01,058 --> 01:16:03,200 what I've told you was interesting? 1419 01:16:03,208 --> 01:16:06,700 Interesting. So usually when someone says 1420 01:16:06,708 --> 01:16:11,580 something's interesting to me, it means that it's completely 1421 01:16:11,588 --> 01:16:17,300 uninteresting. Cut to 3 minutes and I'm like, 1422 01:16:17,308 --> 01:16:22,362 well that's interesting, honey. It means that they don't think 1423 01:16:22,370 --> 01:16:24,960 that it would be good for themselves. 1424 01:16:24,968 --> 01:16:27,690 Yeah. Which like whenever someone 1425 01:16:27,698 --> 01:16:31,423 tells me that my outfit. Oh, that looks good on you, 1426 01:16:31,431 --> 01:16:33,880 honey. Yeah, that's the vibes I get 1427 01:16:33,888 --> 01:16:36,670 from Interesting. And I love that his use of 1428 01:16:36,678 --> 01:16:40,164 accommodating, like I need to use that a little bit more when 1429 01:16:40,164 --> 01:16:43,500 someone's describing a complicated or combative 1430 01:16:43,508 --> 01:16:45,792 situation. I could be like, well, we tried 1431 01:16:45,792 --> 01:16:48,406 to be accommodating. Oh, I suppose I could 1432 01:16:48,414 --> 01:16:49,498 accommodate that. Right. 1433 01:16:49,506 --> 01:16:53,352 Like there's so many layers to accommodating, it almost sounds 1434 01:16:53,352 --> 01:16:56,654 like it's a laborious like usual, like an accommodation, 1435 01:16:56,662 --> 01:16:59,588 like a. Laborious in and of itself is a 1436 01:16:59,588 --> 01:17:01,680 sexy word. That's a laborious. 1437 01:17:01,688 --> 01:17:04,520 I just mean, you're like a hotel accommodation. 1438 01:17:04,528 --> 01:17:06,898 There are people working to make that happen. 1439 01:17:06,906 --> 01:17:09,190 Like someone built the building, someone changed the bed, someone 1440 01:17:09,190 --> 01:17:10,908 cleans the pool. It's a labour. 1441 01:17:10,916 --> 01:17:13,520 It's not, you know, when you're accommodating someone and it's 1442 01:17:13,528 --> 01:17:15,587 like, Oh, well, that's different. 1443 01:17:15,595 --> 01:17:19,100 That's interesting. We can accommodate that. 1444 01:17:19,108 --> 01:17:20,812 Like there's this accommodate that. 1445 01:17:20,820 --> 01:17:22,774 There's this language I need to incorporate, especially more 1446 01:17:22,782 --> 01:17:26,227 when I'm dating, speaking to you on this podcast. 1447 01:17:26,235 --> 01:17:31,044 I suppose I can be accommodating of your life experiences as well 1448 01:17:31,044 --> 01:17:34,785 as my own and how they might influence our opinions on this, 1449 01:17:34,785 --> 01:17:37,560 said here, cult. Listen, instead of the next time 1450 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:39,090 you say something, I just repeat it. 1451 01:17:39,098 --> 01:17:41,248 As a man, I can say, well, that's interesting. 1452 01:17:41,256 --> 01:17:46,374 And I can say, well I guess I'll accommodate your small male 1453 01:17:46,382 --> 01:17:50,686 minded opinion. Oh, you know, whatever makes 1454 01:17:50,694 --> 01:17:52,068 everybody happy. You know. 1455 01:17:52,076 --> 01:17:54,916 Everyone but you, darling. It just sounds so much better 1456 01:17:54,924 --> 01:17:58,868 when you say it before me and over me and after me because 1457 01:17:58,876 --> 01:18:01,840 you're a man. God bless. 1458 01:18:01,848 --> 01:18:05,400 God bless. Our next stop on the final 1459 01:18:05,408 --> 01:18:07,100 walkthrough tour is Christine's home. 1460 01:18:07,108 --> 01:18:11,120 Now before we get into Christine's home, we have a 1461 01:18:11,128 --> 01:18:15,015 interview moment with her and she says their family has grown 1462 01:18:15,015 --> 01:18:18,480 apart in Vegas. And there's this back and forth 1463 01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:23,026 between her and Kody, which was a little hard to follow because 1464 01:18:23,026 --> 01:18:27,614 Kody talks about choosing either separate homes or being 1465 01:18:27,614 --> 01:18:31,568 mortgage poor. And I struggled to know whether 1466 01:18:31,568 --> 01:18:35,290 it was when they moved to Vegas or now. 1467 01:18:35,298 --> 01:18:39,304 And I was leaning towards when they moved to Vegas because I 1468 01:18:39,312 --> 01:18:41,820 was paying a little more attention to what Christine was 1469 01:18:41,820 --> 01:18:43,590 saying. And I thought Christine was 1470 01:18:43,598 --> 01:18:46,666 saying when they moved to Vegas, she would have preferred if they 1471 01:18:46,666 --> 01:18:49,455 had been quote, UN quote mortgage poor and bought homes 1472 01:18:49,463 --> 01:18:53,320 on a cul-de-sac or in the same neighborhood or something like 1473 01:18:53,328 --> 01:18:57,234 close together where he was. I felt like he was advocating 1474 01:18:57,242 --> 01:19:01,000 for, well, we had to get here and not spend all of, you know, 1475 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,120 like not be broke. So. 1476 01:19:02,128 --> 01:19:06,000 We can make it work somehow and the family won't fail. 1477 01:19:06,008 --> 01:19:09,294 Don't worry Christine, you're you're getting exaggerating as 1478 01:19:09,302 --> 01:19:10,460 per usual. Right. 1479 01:19:10,468 --> 01:19:13,452 Like, oh, crazy Christine and our crazy Kefcock theories. 1480 01:19:13,460 --> 01:19:16,650 And it's like, well, OK, so now cut to this time where she's 1481 01:19:16,658 --> 01:19:18,160 talking about how the family's grown apart. 1482 01:19:18,168 --> 01:19:21,080 It seems to be a general consensus, except for Meri, who 1483 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,664 needs privacy. I don't know. 1484 01:19:23,672 --> 01:19:27,144 But it was hard for me to tell if they were talking about past, 1485 01:19:27,144 --> 01:19:29,690 like present and future. It was like they were mixing it 1486 01:19:29,690 --> 01:19:32,659 up. Because to me, I kind of thought 1487 01:19:32,659 --> 01:19:37,535 that Christine and Kody were saying that in order to keep the 1488 01:19:37,535 --> 01:19:41,575 families together, they had to decide that being mortgage poor 1489 01:19:41,575 --> 01:19:44,360 was worth it. And now they're getting these 1490 01:19:44,368 --> 01:19:45,315 new homes. Yeah. 1491 01:19:45,323 --> 01:19:48,600 And I think when we were watching it, even you said 1492 01:19:48,608 --> 01:19:50,240 something like the tenses are changing. 1493 01:19:50,248 --> 01:19:52,860 Like, yeah, it was hard to follow because it sounded in 1494 01:19:52,868 --> 01:19:55,480 general like she was talking about before and he was talking 1495 01:19:55,480 --> 01:19:56,549 about now. Yeah. 1496 01:19:56,557 --> 01:19:59,054 So it was just kind of. It was bizarre. 1497 01:19:59,062 --> 01:20:02,370 It was obvious they weren't on the same page with even like 1498 01:20:02,378 --> 01:20:05,738 that conversation that they were having about this. 1499 01:20:05,746 --> 01:20:09,488 Like even in hindsight. Which speaks to the overall them 1500 01:20:09,488 --> 01:20:10,840 not being on the. Same. 1501 01:20:10,848 --> 01:20:13,460 It's so disjointed. They should have spliced that 1502 01:20:13,468 --> 01:20:16,280 with Janelle saying let's just not talk about it. 1503 01:20:16,288 --> 01:20:18,338 Right, it looks. Like these people are not on the 1504 01:20:18,338 --> 01:20:19,470 same page. Janelle doesn't want to talk 1505 01:20:19,478 --> 01:20:22,102 about it. In this episode we have multiple 1506 01:20:22,102 --> 01:20:25,920 examples of people not being on the same page, literally. 1507 01:20:25,928 --> 01:20:30,282 I mean, Christine's general consensus here is that she would 1508 01:20:30,282 --> 01:20:34,040 think that being mortgage par is better than letting the 1509 01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:37,960 family fell. So we get back to the nuts and 1510 01:20:37,968 --> 01:20:40,860 bolts of it all, not letting the family fell. 1511 01:20:40,868 --> 01:20:44,760 Kody, make sure to point out that Christine has been seeing 1512 01:20:44,768 --> 01:20:47,984 things glass half empty when that wasn't her nature. 1513 01:20:47,992 --> 01:20:52,094 And then he understands it's been hard, but now it's 1514 01:20:52,102 --> 01:20:54,382 changing. So this totally backs up this 1515 01:20:54,390 --> 01:20:57,262 whole thing where it's like he's trying to talk about today, but 1516 01:20:57,262 --> 01:20:59,568 I think she might have been talking about the past. 1517 01:20:59,576 --> 01:21:01,640 Yeah, it's hard to figure out. Very. 1518 01:21:01,648 --> 01:21:05,315 It is very weird. But she looks so unhappy in this 1519 01:21:05,315 --> 01:21:09,015 he. Does she's like zoning off and 1520 01:21:09,023 --> 01:21:12,416 she looks like just defeated? Yeah. 1521 01:21:12,424 --> 01:21:16,200 And I hate that. I get that feeling from a lot of 1522 01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:20,040 them throughout, you know, all of this in especially couch 1523 01:21:20,048 --> 01:21:24,756 interview is where you'll see one of them that they just look 1524 01:21:24,756 --> 01:21:28,442 so defeated. It's like painful to see it. 1525 01:21:28,450 --> 01:21:30,920 It just is. And you know, we do joke about 1526 01:21:30,928 --> 01:21:35,060 the manosphere bit and my whole thing or whatever, but I feel 1527 01:21:35,068 --> 01:21:40,600 like the pattern with that is Kody giving directive on how 1528 01:21:40,608 --> 01:21:45,815 people should feel through a masked kind of, I have some sort 1529 01:21:45,815 --> 01:21:48,984 of insider knowledge or I'm going to disseminate something 1530 01:21:48,992 --> 01:21:52,828 to you all and you're just supposed to accept it or you're 1531 01:21:52,828 --> 01:21:55,454 supposed to understand. And there's usually like you 1532 01:21:55,462 --> 01:21:57,362 said. Like belittling one at a time, 1533 01:21:57,370 --> 01:22:01,582 and there's at least one at. Least one of them is completely 1534 01:22:01,582 --> 01:22:06,455 going like I don't even know what to say or do. 1535 01:22:06,463 --> 01:22:10,716 I'm just looking disappointed and yes it it's weird. 1536 01:22:10,724 --> 01:22:18,055 Yeah, it definitely is. We go back to Janelle's rental, 1537 01:22:18,055 --> 01:22:24,564 rental in Capital RENTALS, Yes. And Mona is dropping off the 1538 01:22:24,572 --> 01:22:30,172 keys, the keys to the new house. And we find out that the kids 1539 01:22:30,180 --> 01:22:33,967 want to stay the night there. OK, All right, They're packing 1540 01:22:33,975 --> 01:22:35,810 up. They're all going to stay the 1541 01:22:35,818 --> 01:22:40,200 night at the new house. And Gabriel tries calling a 1542 01:22:40,208 --> 01:22:44,144 room. He calls like the furthest room 1543 01:22:44,144 --> 01:22:47,050 from the priMeri or. You know, something like I 1544 01:22:47,058 --> 01:22:49,864 wanted at the end of the hallway farthest away from your bedroom 1545 01:22:49,864 --> 01:22:53,230 or something. Farthest from mom and dad or 1546 01:22:53,238 --> 01:22:57,888 whatever, and Kody says that rooms will be assigned. 1547 01:22:57,896 --> 01:23:03,640 He also talks about how most wars and history have been 1548 01:23:03,648 --> 01:23:07,230 fought over territory. It's like Oh my God this is so 1549 01:23:07,238 --> 01:23:08,734 out of place for the conversation. 1550 01:23:08,742 --> 01:23:12,786 I mean the alignment is. It's so off because then Janelle 1551 01:23:12,786 --> 01:23:16,120 was like looking at him and she says, well, they've been 1552 01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:20,247 talking about it. Like they've been having the 1553 01:23:20,255 --> 01:23:22,552 conversation. We've all been talking about it. 1554 01:23:22,552 --> 01:23:23,800 OK, they're probably just 1555 01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:27,440 calling dibs again for the last time before they get in there, 1556 01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:29,600 right? I think here's a reasonable 1557 01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:32,360 response to this child saying this. 1558 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:38,080 It's like he has all these pre thought up token answers that he 1559 01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:42,960 goes to because you know most of the wars in history have been 1560 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,360 fought over territory. Like what the fuck? 1561 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,520 And he's like thinking of it as he's saying it. 1562 01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,760 And he's like flubbering. I don't know. 1563 01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,880 No, it was like. Another example of Kody picking 1564 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,960 something where he's going to have his sort of statement, his 1565 01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,320 kind of cliche, his diatribe, his whatever it is. 1566 01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:03,120 And it's like, this is just not the moment. 1567 01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:04,840 Like, it's just not even necessary. 1568 01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:06,880 Like, yeah, you could even placate. 1569 01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,200 I hate to say it, but Gabe's a kid. 1570 01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:11,400 Like be like, yeah, all right, well, we see when we get there 1571 01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:13,760 or like, yeah, Oh well, someone might have to wrestle you for 1572 01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,240 that, like. First time, first serve. 1573 01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:16,800 Right. Like, yeah, exactly. 1574 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:18,280 Like I didn't see your name on the list. 1575 01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,760 Like there's so many responses you could say to just be like, 1576 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,800 all right, you know, like, OK, whatever, not. 1577 01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,640 No, he has to always be in charge. 1578 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,680 It's so dumb. Even when he's not, like, you 1579 01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:30,834 know, he's not going to show up there and actually assign 1580 01:24:30,834 --> 01:24:33,654 rooms, but he just wants to pretend that he's in charge 1581 01:24:33,654 --> 01:24:35,478 and that he's going to be in charge. 1582 01:24:35,486 --> 01:24:38,160 I wonder what his actual involvement would be in 1583 01:24:38,168 --> 01:24:40,344 assigning rooms, if anything. I doubt it. 1584 01:24:40,352 --> 01:24:43,858 I bet they get there and it's like fucking chaos and Sue is 1585 01:24:43,866 --> 01:24:45,870 and. And you know, Janelle's probably 1586 01:24:45,870 --> 01:24:49,288 just like, as long as no one ends up hurt, I guess we'll just 1587 01:24:49,288 --> 01:24:53,300 settle wherever they land. All right, just take turns with 1588 01:24:53,300 --> 01:24:57,560 the pickaxe to get through your wall to make your door first. 1589 01:24:57,568 --> 01:25:01,205 If you can find the rooms through the drywall. 1590 01:25:01,213 --> 01:25:03,620 We couldn't splurge for the doors. 1591 01:25:03,628 --> 01:25:09,001 So good, Oh my gosh. Yeah, and Mahogany. 1592 01:25:09,009 --> 01:25:13,138 Well, that could be your room. You're going to have to get into 1593 01:25:13,138 --> 01:25:14,830 it somehow. Oh my God. 1594 01:25:14,838 --> 01:25:16,596 Ridiculous. We are tragic. 1595 01:25:16,604 --> 01:25:20,402 And then the kids are going to have to macrame, figure out the 1596 01:25:20,402 --> 01:25:24,915 door, just like Meri's going to have to figure out her new 1597 01:25:24,923 --> 01:25:26,760 mantle. Well, that mantle. 1598 01:25:26,768 --> 01:25:30,134 Get that family together to build some shit. 1599 01:25:30,142 --> 01:25:35,420 Kody mentions that he will be staying at the new house with 1600 01:25:35,428 --> 01:25:38,184 them tonight. How far off your rotation are 1601 01:25:38,192 --> 01:25:40,515 you getting your bud? Because you're selfish and want 1602 01:25:40,515 --> 01:25:43,783 to stay in a new house. Are you getting out of a night 1603 01:25:43,791 --> 01:25:45,240 with Christine? You getting out of a night with 1604 01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:46,645 Meri? We know you're not getting out 1605 01:25:46,653 --> 01:25:49,725 of a night with Robyn. And we find out some more 1606 01:25:49,733 --> 01:25:53,184 details coming up here about potentially a non twin bed for 1607 01:25:53,192 --> 01:25:57,832 him to sleep in. And then we make the natural 1608 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:02,092 transition to Christine's rental where she's in the kitchen and 1609 01:26:02,100 --> 01:26:05,280 she tells us we're celebrating Joseph Smith's birthday tonight 1610 01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:09,082 and having family dinner. And since Janelle has gotten her 1611 01:26:09,082 --> 01:26:11,664 keys, I suggested we do it there. 1612 01:26:11,672 --> 01:26:15,560 We're not celebrating Hanukkah this year. 1613 01:26:15,568 --> 01:26:20,444 We are back to celebrating the Prophet Joseph Smith's birthday. 1614 01:26:20,444 --> 01:26:23,320 Yes, Kody did not put a kibosh 1615 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:24,520 on it this. Year, not this. 1616 01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,160 Year. Well, they have so much to 1617 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,840 celebrate. Janelle's getting her keys. 1618 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,360 It's the Prophet Joseph Smith's birthday. 1619 01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,200 They've reconnected with their roots in Nauvoo. 1620 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:35,880 This is it. I was going to try to tie in 1621 01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,440 like that they learned about Joseph Smith, but I'm just not 1622 01:26:38,440 --> 01:26:41,120 that quick so. You know, they did go back and 1623 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,960 they had these big epiphanies and they found out about the 1624 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:48,120 wives and they found out about the shot to the back. 1625 01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,560 And you're too late. Oh. 1626 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:53,880 God. Oh Lord, Oh my God. 1627 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:01,120 We learned so many things in Nauvoo. 1628 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:04,720 We experienced so much, one of which is that Joseph Smith is 1629 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,920 real and all of his teachings are real and everyone who 1630 01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,880 believes it are real. Even though their teeth might 1631 01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:14,280 not be real. Those are jokes. 1632 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,000 You have to explain it, it's not funny. 1633 01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:19,920 Oh honey, that joke was interesting. 1634 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:25,280 Oh my God. Well, we're going to be 1635 01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:29,440 celebrating the Prophet Joseph Smith and his birthday, and 1636 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,400 we're going to do it in the new house, as Christopher said. 1637 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,920 But it sounds better this time because I am a woman, therefore 1638 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,280 I am God. Hold on, let me pull the man 1639 01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,080 card and interrupt you. Christine tells us that they 1640 01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,120 like to celebrate Joseph Smith's birthday with the dinner, and 1641 01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,520 she likes to give everyone a gift for this celebratory 1642 01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:48,975 occasion, which does make sense. 1643 01:27:48,983 --> 01:27:52,352 You know, why not give everyone gifts for Joseph Smith's 1644 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,460 birthday? There's a weird moment here 1645 01:27:54,468 --> 01:27:58,496 where they're like panning over the kitchen and they come across 1646 01:27:58,496 --> 01:28:03,787 this disgusting looking burnt dish and ask things like, is 1647 01:28:03,795 --> 01:28:07,440 this the tiramisu? And it's this like, disgusting 1648 01:28:07,448 --> 01:28:11,670 burnt dish on the counter. And it's like, yeah, happy 1649 01:28:11,678 --> 01:28:15,592 birthday, Joseph Smith. Don't feel like burnt tiramisu. 1650 01:28:15,592 --> 01:28:18,520 And I didn't know what it was at 1651 01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,280 all because when I was the shot it was ridiculous. 1652 01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,640 It looked like someone made brownies but they didn't mix it 1653 01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,560 up. And like half of it was burnt 1654 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,120 into the side and the other half was just like egg yolks mixed 1655 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:29,640 with milk or something. I was asking us. 1656 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,280 Like a fork and it's like lifting the cross. 1657 01:28:32,480 --> 01:28:34,960 Yes, as it's just like, what even is this? 1658 01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,400 And that's what I really love about Joseph Smith's birthday, 1659 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:42,480 is that you eat burnt, dismembered and disfigured 1660 01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:43,280 tiramisu. Oh. 1661 01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:49,880 Lord, oh God, oh. My God. 1662 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,120 And because Joseph Smith's birthday is such a big deal and 1663 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,280 it just makes sense, it's a natural transition that we would 1664 01:28:56,280 --> 01:29:00,560 go to Kody standing outside of the store where Janelle and he 1665 01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,787 were going to put their mattress and bedroom set on layaway, 1666 01:29:03,787 --> 01:29:06,680 but he's standing Outback. He's going to pick up the bed 1667 01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:09,920 and mattress to surprise Janelle that very eve. 1668 01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:14,160 It's so romantic. I mean, I got a little moist. 1669 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,640 I got a little quivery. I got a little yeah, desperate. 1670 01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:19,960 I was like, wow, this man's really coming through for his 1671 01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:23,160 wife, picking up that mattress and bed set early. 1672 01:29:23,480 --> 01:29:27,440 It's where he's going to put that tool to work that Joseph 1673 01:29:27,440 --> 01:29:29,560 Smith decided needed to be put to. 1674 01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:30,920 Work. This is it. 1675 01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,520 This is it. Tool of God. 1676 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:39,200 The tool of God on this bed and mattress, and he's sneaking it 1677 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,320 into the house, right? Like, we cut to the outside of 1678 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:45,280 the house and Meri's, like, trying to push dinner time 1679 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,720 because they're getting this mattress in the packaging into 1680 01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:48,480 the house. Yes. 1681 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,320 And they get it upstairs and we see the headboard just, like, 1682 01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:55,840 resting against the wall and the mattress sitting up in the 1683 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:57,680 plastic wrapper still. Yeah. 1684 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:02,000 And then we go outside and you can tell the family's not all 1685 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:05,560 there yet and they're trying to get this cute setup for Janelle 1686 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:09,840 and get things ready for Joseph Smith's birthday and oh. 1687 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:15,000 My God. We get an angry Blair Witch 1688 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:21,800 Project shot of Leon. Very disruptive. 1689 01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,120 Wow, Blair Witch Project, that was good. 1690 01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:28,360 Girl, that was good. It's definitely witchy. 1691 01:30:28,440 --> 01:30:33,080 I don't know how we want to approach this Leon moment 1692 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:37,480 because there are some quotes here and I think that it's only 1693 01:30:37,480 --> 01:30:40,440 appropriate that we quote Leon correctly. 1694 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,520 Oh, I will definitely be quoting Leon correctly on this. 1695 01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:47,360 We've got this Blair Witch shot going on. 1696 01:30:47,480 --> 01:30:49,600 We've got the camera. In the dark. 1697 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:55,080 Straight up in Leon's face and it's dark. 1698 01:30:55,200 --> 01:31:00,160 We've got a spotlight. And Leon says, like, I'm happy 1699 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,960 for Janelle, but it's like right there, it's done. 1700 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:07,360 Like what the heck are we waiting for in reference to the 1701 01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,760 house? And at this point, the camera 1702 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:14,280 pans over and we see Meri fumbling with something, doing 1703 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:17,400 whatever. And I think she recognizes that 1704 01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,400 Leon is being interviewed. Maybe Leon is not looking so 1705 01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,520 happy, Who even knows? Goes over to try to console 1706 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:27,680 Leon. Like literally put her arms 1707 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:30,960 around Leon. And Leon kind of, I don't want 1708 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:32,320 to say pushes her, but just like. 1709 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:35,840 Like jerks away. Jerks away and they. 1710 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:40,240 Kind of like, yeah, it's almost like a jerk, like shove type of 1711 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:43,360 move, yes and. Disgruntled teen. 1712 01:31:43,440 --> 01:31:45,600 Yeah, I. Would say pushes Meri off and 1713 01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:48,920 like goes to a different area. So of course the cameras have to 1714 01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,960 continue and follow. Exactly. 1715 01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:56,360 And then Leon says I just, I just want to slap whoever is 1716 01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,120 this stupid underwriter or whatever. 1717 01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,720 Yeah. And Mckelty is trying to like, 1718 01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:07,400 kind of calm it down and right next to Leon and it's just super 1719 01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:09,120 awkward. It's a mess. 1720 01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,960 Meri tells the camera that Leon is having a hard time. 1721 01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:18,360 Duh, we just witnessed it. Yeah, and I'm like wet blanket, 1722 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:22,840 much unhinged in this. Little unhinged. 1723 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,720 Well, this is it. The disappointment is genetic, 1724 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:26,440 I'm telling you. Like being upset. 1725 01:32:26,440 --> 01:32:30,240 It's runs in the family. You think at a certain point 1726 01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,080 like you didn't want to be filmed for a show? 1727 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:34,800 Get it? Totally. 1728 01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:38,920 They mentioned in Christine's book that every child has a 1729 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,360 right to choose how much they want to be involved and how much 1730 01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,600 they didn't. And you can tell that based on 1731 01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:47,760 each season, which child participates more or which child 1732 01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,320 participates less. And it does fluctuate. 1733 01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:53,920 You can tell the kids are like not comfortable sometimes or 1734 01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:55,640 choosing to be part of it others. 1735 01:32:56,040 --> 01:33:00,120 So then there's these moments with Leon where they're being 1736 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:06,160 like unhinged and unrealistic and they had the choice, 1737 01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:09,800 supposedly, and I'm just going off of one book. 1738 01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:13,000 Supposedly. To walk away and not be a part 1739 01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,760 of this. And you know, you can argue 1740 01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:17,600 they're under 18, they're a child. 1741 01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:21,200 They really don't have the right to even like choose because 1742 01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,440 unfortunately that's how childhood law works. 1743 01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:27,360 But you know, it's, it's just so bizarre. 1744 01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:30,790 Well, and participation is like kind of a broad thing when 1745 01:33:30,790 --> 01:33:33,320 we're even talking about just this scene. 1746 01:33:33,480 --> 01:33:37,200 Like, yeah, you're standing in front of a camera being lit like 1747 01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:40,040 The Blair Witch Project. And you know how to drive, so we 1748 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,360 know you're at least 16. Absolutely. 1749 01:33:42,480 --> 01:33:44,920 Touring college campuses. Yeah. 1750 01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:48,640 And you're standing at a dead end St. with a camera on you. 1751 01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:52,640 You have seen at least Four Seasons of this show on 1752 01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:56,080 television. Being in the 6, let's say fives 1753 01:33:56,080 --> 01:34:00,800 and rap, whatever, and you're going to do this thing and this 1754 01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:03,200 is what you're doing. Yeah, and you're talking about 1755 01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:07,480 slapping somebody because you're not in your home yet. 1756 01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:10,440 And it's like your mom's been lying to you. 1757 01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,080 Your mom has not told you the truth. 1758 01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:19,320 I think that Meri sets Leon up for failure so much because she 1759 01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:22,200 hides from Leon the reality of what's happening. 1760 01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,960 Meri has been told at least twice in this episode that they 1761 01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:30,560 are not going to be moving into the home, and yet they're lying 1762 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,560 to Leon and it's very apparent that Leon's finding stuff out 1763 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:35,920 for the first time. So it's like, I have this 1764 01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:38,339 conundrum, like, is Leon a brat? 1765 01:34:38,347 --> 01:34:43,212 Or is Leon just a product of things that have been hidden 1766 01:34:43,220 --> 01:34:46,848 from them and finding out last minute and then losing it like 1767 01:34:46,856 --> 01:34:51,300 any sane person would? It's a tough one. 1768 01:34:51,308 --> 01:34:55,762 I lean towards Leon is a brat, but I also, it is very. 1769 01:34:55,770 --> 01:35:00,290 But yeah, I mean, like, would you react like this if this was 1770 01:35:00,290 --> 01:35:04,040 something you knew before this moment at the end of the 1771 01:35:04,048 --> 01:35:06,490 cul-de-sac? Because it almost feels like 1772 01:35:06,498 --> 01:35:09,112 maybe Leon was just told this. News. 1773 01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:11,728 That's how it feels. It's unnecessary and bizarre. 1774 01:35:11,736 --> 01:35:15,450 And then also this is a family who has been filmed for a hot 1775 01:35:15,458 --> 01:35:17,560 minute.

Nothing ever changed in that 1854 01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:23,840 regard. It was just always like, we just 1855 01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:25,800 live in the same home and go to the same school and they go to 1856 01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:27,160 the same job and everything's the same. 1857 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,160 It's actually still the same today. 1858 01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:34,720 So when I saw these kids being excited about something new that 1859 01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:38,880 was promising, that meant some sort of new chapter or some sort 1860 01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:41,880 of advancement or change that could be positive in their 1861 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:46,080 lives, I was like, Oh my God, it just got me in an emotional 1862 01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:50,770 place because I'm like, I never, I never got that with my 1863 01:39:50,770 --> 01:39:54,178 parents when it came to a home or a change or a transition 1864 01:39:54,178 --> 01:39:57,900 that was like enthusiasm and excitement that like never 1865 01:39:57,900 --> 01:39:59,925 happened. It is like curious though 1866 01:39:59,933 --> 01:40:03,827 because as kids that have been lied to a lot and kind of like 1867 01:40:03,835 --> 01:40:05,487 had. Disappointments. 1868 01:40:05,495 --> 01:40:08,105 They still do have that enthusiasm. 1869 01:40:08,113 --> 01:40:13,448 Like as someone who comes from a family that moved a lot when I 1870 01:40:13,456 --> 01:40:16,670 was younger, that enthusiasm like dies very quickly because 1871 01:40:16,678 --> 01:40:20,952 you are sick of getting moved around and you don't know if 1872 01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:23,770 it's going to last.

This is a fragile thing. 1956 01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:43,880 No, because if you're Robyn, what you're going to do is 1957 01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:46,600 you're going to pretend you're Snow White and you're going to 1958 01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,680 just look at truly like a little piece of dust and you're going 1959 01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:53,120 to go shoe shoe with your little broom and try to shoe her off 1960 01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,920 while you just live your merry fucking life and get this little 1961 01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,840 vagrant off your doorstep. Oh, and that's the vibes. 1962 01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:01,840 That's the vibes. That's the vibes. 1963 01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:05,440 But no one's looking in any mirror and saying who is the 1964 01:45:05,440 --> 01:45:07,720 fairest of them all? And Robyn shows up. 1965 01:45:07,720 --> 01:45:09,520 Could you? That's the most twisted version 1966 01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:12,880 of Snow Winner. Jerk guy in the mirror, she kind 1967 01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:16,120 of looks like him with the child. 1968 01:45:16,480 --> 01:45:19,200 You are not the fairest of them all. 1969 01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:30,600 Robyn of the Habsburg jaw. God Kody says that there is one 1970 01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,480 thing that he's always wanted his entire life, and that is for 1971 01:45:33,480 --> 01:45:37,440 his children to identify as siblings no matter what mother 1972 01:45:37,440 --> 01:45:40,800 they come from. And then he references Christine 1973 01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:44,080 and says she took that and made it our mantra. 1974 01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:49,880 And then he says, I look to the heavens and I say thank you, 1975 01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:54,520 God. And it's like. 1976 01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:59,960 The supposed symbolism of these gifts representing something, I 1977 01:45:59,960 --> 01:46:04,080 mean, that they all have names and Christine acknowledges them. 1978 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:06,520 I mean, there's no family mission statement on these 1979 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,880 pieces of paper, by the way. This is just things about them 1980 01:46:10,480 --> 01:46:13,560 as individuals that were all given by one of the mothers. 1981 01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:16,215 Based on their assignment papers that they turned back in 1982 01:46:16,215 --> 01:46:19,084 because it was too much work to combine them into one family 1983 01:46:19,084 --> 01:46:22,200 mission statement, right? So let's just like skirt, skirt 1984 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:25,200 this entire activity because we couldn't complete it. 1985 01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:28,560 Right. And Kody is giving thanks to 1986 01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:30,440 God. Yeah, yeah. 1987 01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:34,000 And I say thank you, God. And I say thank you, God. 1988 01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:40,720 We get a little mini scene of Meri and Leon packing at her 1989 01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:43,520 rental and she talks about being in limbo. 1990 01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:48,920 Oh, teeing up the next scene at Robyn's house, where she's also 1991 01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:51,280 packing with her lovely children. 1992 01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:53,520 Oh, boy. Robyn is upset with her kids for 1993 01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:57,600 not having gotten packed yet to leave for this big trip to 1994 01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:01,240 Montana. And I'm like, how old are your 1995 01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:03,440 children? And you're expecting them to be 1996 01:47:03,440 --> 01:47:09,160 packed for a trip? Yeah, I just can't imagine that. 1997 01:47:09,160 --> 01:47:11,680 I don't know how old they are at this time, but you're like 1998 01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:15,040 yelling at your kids for not being packed yet. 1999 01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:18,880 And they probably just figured out what the days of the week 2000 01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:21,720 are and now you want them to pack that amount of underwear 2001 01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:23,880 like. Right, right. 2002 01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,640 I don't know. And yeah, I would assume when 2003 01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:28,680 the kids are this age, ordinarily a parent would be 2004 01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:33,040 involved in that packing, at least giving guidance on this 2005 01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:34,880 number of shirts, this number of underwear, this number of 2006 01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,800 whatever, right? Like we don't see if she did 2007 01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:39,440 that, but let's assume she didn't. 2008 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:43,000 But also you, how long did you know about this trip? 2009 01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:47,173 Like you have to have known your rotation for holidays for a 2010 01:47:47,173 --> 01:47:50,930 long time and now you're yelling at your kids for not being 2011 01:47:50,930 --> 01:47:54,352 packed and you're getting frustrated with Brianna for 2012 01:47:54,352 --> 01:47:59,240 watching Saul for you essentially and not packing. 2013 01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:01,480 In the middle of a room with a bunch of shit everywhere. 2014 01:48:01,480 --> 01:48:02,800 Which? Is literally everywhere. 2015 01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:05,440 And so it's like the day that you're going to leave to go to 2016 01:48:05,440 --> 01:48:07,360 Montana and you're stressed about your kids not being 2017 01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:08,880 packed. Well, once again, I know we 2018 01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:12,120 asked the same question over and over again, but what are you 2019 01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,720 doing all day? And when she says that she's 2020 01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:18,440 torn between getting the kids on the road to Montana versus 2021 01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:22,000 waiting to see if she gets the keys that day, I'm going, oh, is 2022 01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,080 that why you're torn, girl? Maybe it's because you can't 2023 01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:27,480 manage your own fucking time and anything. 2024 01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:29,360 She can't manage anything. She can't do anything. 2025 01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:33,200 She can't manage anything and she's trying to like put this on 2026 01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:36,640 her kids like, oh, I want Dayton and Brianna to see the home 2027 01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:38,160 because they haven't seen it yet. 2028 01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:41,240 And if I could get the keys before they leave, then they 2029 01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:44,640 could see the home. It's about them and it's like 2030 01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:47,480 it's not about them. It's about these five days that 2031 01:48:47,480 --> 01:48:51,560 you have left and you have what we're going to find out is a 16 2032 01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:55,640 hour drive ahead of you and you're not going to get these 2033 01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:57,000 keys if you don't get them today. 2034 01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:00,640 So you'd rather take your kids late to see their father than 2035 01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:03,083 not get the keys for five days? 2036 01:49:03,091 --> 01:49:08,263 So why can't you just be honest with your kids dad and say, hey, 2037 01:49:08,263 --> 01:49:11,948 I'm waiting to get the keys for my new home. 2038 01:49:11,956 --> 01:49:15,520 Do you mind taking the kids like however many hours later we'll 2039 01:49:15,528 --> 01:49:19,222 text you when we leave. It's just so bizarre, like the 2040 01:49:19,230 --> 01:49:21,760 amount of lying that has to happen here. 2041 01:49:21,768 --> 01:49:25,752 And I don't think I'm just like assuming all of this. 2042 01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:31,640 I just feel like there's this weird cloud of bullshit lies 2043 01:49:31,648 --> 01:49:36,822 floating around our heads. Yeah, if she's going to be 2044 01:49:36,830 --> 01:49:41,920 bringing the kids up to Montana to visit their bio dad the 2045 01:49:41,928 --> 01:49:46,092 weekend before Christmas Eve, does this mean that the kids are 2046 01:49:46,092 --> 01:49:49,000 actually spending Christmas with their dad in Montana? 2047 01:49:49,008 --> 01:49:51,990 Yeah. So this isn't just even an 2048 01:49:51,998 --> 01:49:54,495 ordinary visit. No, this is something that would 2049 01:49:54,495 --> 01:49:56,559 have been planned. This paints a different picture. 2050 01:49:56,559 --> 01:49:58,120 This is, in my mind, what I've 2051 01:49:58,120 --> 01:50:01,520 been thinking the whole time is that it's their dad's holiday 2052 01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:04,680 with the kids, right? Which is why I've been so 2053 01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:09,200 baffled by like, the lack of planning around it on her part. 2054 01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:12,080 And she's like trying to pretend to the kids. 2055 01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:16,760 It feels like, oh, daddy needs you to come visit this time. 2056 01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:18,384 Oh, we're going to get the keys. 2057 01:50:18,392 --> 01:50:21,735 Well, but I want my kids to see it's all manipulative, right? 2058 01:50:21,743 --> 01:50:26,470 It's all around the kids. And when she gets them and they 2059 01:50:26,470 --> 01:50:30,660 it's so manipulative and weird. Well, and I was thinking even 2060 01:50:30,668 --> 01:50:34,066 more broadly, the narrative of how Robyn's ex is so terrible 2061 01:50:34,074 --> 01:50:36,143 and he's this awful man and blah blah. 2062 01:50:36,151 --> 01:50:39,186 Blah, how does he have custody? Now you're going to go drop your 2063 01:50:39,186 --> 01:50:43,156 kids off there, not only just for a visit, but for Christmas. 2064 01:50:43,156 --> 01:50:46,040 Yeah, like this is some sort of 2065 01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,400 custody agreement if you're dropping them off there for a 2066 01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,720 holiday. Therefore, how does your child's 2067 01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:52,760 father have custody then? Yeah. 2068 01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:57,240 And there's just so much about this that the math is not 2069 01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,880 mathing on any of this. No, it isn't. 2070 01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:04,960 It's a very bizarre situation and even finding out that Kody's 2071 01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:09,240 driving and they've got this 16 hour drive and they're going to 2072 01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:12,732 leave at 3:30 PM instead of what they were going to do because 2073 01:51:12,732 --> 01:51:16,720 of the plan to get the keys. And she gets this call on the 2074 01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:22,120 stairs though, and acts all shocked like whoever this guy is 2075 01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:24,480 on the phone, that's like helping Mona. 2076 01:51:24,480 --> 01:51:26,880 Whatever. Oh, you mean it? 2077 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:33,080 You really mean it? Like, oh really great acting 2078 01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:34,240 Robyn. Oh my God. 2079 01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:38,040 Well, and then when Kody shows up and we hear about the 16 hour 2080 01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:42,869 drive ahead of them to bring her kids, not his kids, her kids 2081 01:51:42,869 --> 01:51:45,720 to their bio dad's house for a Christmas visit. 2082 01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:49,760 This, you know, terribly abusive potentially, man. 2083 01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:55,600 He talks about being so tired because of all of the things and 2084 01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:58,040 I hate to say it, but it's just another example of me going 2085 01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,280 like, well, why is Kody driving like this? 2086 01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:03,200 Bitch can't drive either. Like she can't do anything. 2087 01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:04,800 She can't get her kids packed for a trip. 2088 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,120 It's an for a. Christmas trip to see their 2089 01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:09,560 father. It's an excuse to be alone 2090 01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:11,640 'cause they're going to have to stay the night somewhere on the 2091 01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:13,640 way back they're going to be alone together. 2092 01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:15,480 It's almost like a date for them. 2093 01:52:15,480 --> 01:52:19,960 Gross, Gross. Kody lets us know that you know, 2094 01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:24,120 it's so hard to say goodbye to everybody before he has to leave 2095 01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:27,520 for something like this and oh, he has to go say goodbye to all 2096 01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:31,280 the wise before he leaves for this 16 hour drive and the. 2097 01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:32,880 SAC. Yada yada. 2098 01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:38,040 Plural marriage, splitting time, trying to cover all of his 2099 01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:40,440 bases. It's all of this stuff. 2100 01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:46,240 And Mona tells Kody that Christine is in too, so they've 2101 01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:48,160 got the keys for Christine's house. 2102 01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:50,560 Yeah, throwing a wrench in there. 2103 01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:57,160 And so now Kody has to wait even longer to start this trip. 2104 01:52:57,560 --> 01:53:01,800 Yeah, my OO is like, what is Kody going to do? 2105 01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:06,240 Like Robyn is unable to manage anything and they need to leave 2106 01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:10,200 for a 16 hour drive where he's exhausted, but Chuck's Christine 2107 01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:12,840 just got her keys. Is he going to prioritize his 2108 01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:16,320 other wife? Oh no, you know what's going to 2109 01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:19,600 happen here. Robyn's going to sacrifice, 2110 01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:22,920 leaving on time so that Kody can go with Christine to get her 2111 01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:26,040 keys. Oh, and in a loving manner where 2112 01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:28,640 he's supportive. They can take their time. 2113 01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,040 They can really celebrate this moment. 2114 01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:34,480 But then we get the scene of Christine driving up in the van, 2115 01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:35,800 right? Yes. 2116 01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:38,360 And she's so happy. It's like adorable. 2117 01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:40,908 And she jumps out of her car and she's like literally jumping 2118 01:53:40,908 --> 01:53:44,960 up and down at Kody. And you can tell in his face 2119 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:46,720 that he's just like. Let's go. 2120 01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,160 Not fully checked in. Yeah, like, hurry up, we got to 2121 01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:54,080 do this. And Kody has a quote and he says 2122 01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:58,600 when my wife support me with my relationships with my other 2123 01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:02,680 wives, it makes it so I can be a rock star. 2124 01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:06,920 And he's like referencing. Robyn, right? 2125 01:54:06,920 --> 01:54:09,880 Robyn and this saying, well, Robyn's making me look good 2126 01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:12,880 because she's allowing me to be with my wife Christine. 2127 01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:17,440 And it's like, I just think that it's a weird statement to make 2128 01:54:17,440 --> 01:54:20,822 because it's like you're setting Robyn on the pedestal and 2129 01:54:20,822 --> 01:54:24,235 you're the sacrifices on Robyn's part. 2130 01:54:24,243 --> 01:54:28,970 For you to show up at the home that you're purchasing with your 2131 01:54:28,970 --> 01:54:32,540 wife, yes, this is an important moment for Christine 2132 01:54:32,540 --> 01:54:36,820 and should be for you. And you're making it sound like 2133 01:54:36,820 --> 01:54:40,260 Robyn is sacrificing so that you can do this obligation or 2134 01:54:40,268 --> 01:54:41,508 something. It's just gross. 2135 01:54:41,516 --> 01:54:44,966 Yeah, they keep trying to just paint each other in a good 2136 01:54:44,974 --> 01:54:47,580 picture. And so they say these confounded 2137 01:54:47,580 --> 01:54:51,155 large quotes, you know, to try to build each other up. 2138 01:54:51,163 --> 01:54:54,800 It's just we see through it at this point now, and that's why, 2139 01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:56,915 you know, this hindsight is interesting. 2140 01:54:56,923 --> 01:55:01,636 And so Christine, Kody and Mona walk into Christine's home 2141 01:55:01,644 --> 01:55:05,332 because she's getting her keys and because, you know, Robyn's 2142 01:55:05,340 --> 01:55:07,440 made the sacrifice so Kody can be there. 2143 01:55:07,448 --> 01:55:09,175 This is actually very short lived. 2144 01:55:09,183 --> 01:55:13,360 We walk into the home with them. Christine goes from the garage 2145 01:55:13,368 --> 01:55:17,375 into like the kitchen area. She turns the corner and she 2146 01:55:17,383 --> 01:55:20,739 just starts crying. And it's such a, I don't know, 2147 01:55:20,747 --> 01:55:23,007 for me, it was a touching moment. 2148 01:55:23,015 --> 01:55:25,818 Yeah, she was genuinely so excited and enthusiastic. 2149 01:55:25,826 --> 01:55:28,606 Obviously this is something they've been working towards as 2150 01:55:28,606 --> 01:55:29,627 a group. Relieved. 2151 01:55:29,635 --> 01:55:33,615 Meeting, you know, meeting a goal, getting a thing, reaching 2152 01:55:33,615 --> 01:55:37,956 A benchmark, But then also just as a person, like she doesn't do 2153 01:55:37,956 --> 01:55:40,768 the whole fucking lame ass shit Robyn does about never 2154 01:55:40,768 --> 01:55:42,880 having a home and blah blah blah. 2155 01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:46,320 She's just like, it just felt like a moment of like, this is 2156 01:55:46,320 --> 01:55:49,280 mine, Like this is my new. Home and it just felt happy. 2157 01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:51,920 Genuine and organic. Yeah, I don't know. 2158 01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:55,920 It was actually a really cute moment and I got teary eyed. 2159 01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:59,040 I felt really happy for her. I did too. 2160 01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:02,383 Again, for it was more than once in an episode where I was 2161 01:56:02,383 --> 01:56:04,782 like, yes, I feel happy for Christine. 2162 01:56:04,790 --> 01:56:08,195 And it just sucked that this narrative going with that was 2163 01:56:08,203 --> 01:56:10,485 that it was a sacrifice on Robyn's Barton Kody. 2164 01:56:10,493 --> 01:56:14,612 So that she could have. Totally showed up like it just 2165 01:56:14,620 --> 01:56:15,734 sucked. That sucked it. 2166 01:56:15,742 --> 01:56:19,302 Felt like it was behind her back, like it felt like Kody and 2167 01:56:19,302 --> 01:56:22,054 her were like yucking her Yum behind her back. 2168 01:56:22,062 --> 01:56:25,162 Christine says it was the best day ever, which I thought was 2169 01:56:25,170 --> 01:56:28,208 also funny because I'm like, you have 6 kids and you're married. 2170 01:56:28,208 --> 01:56:30,400 So glad to hear that this is the 2171 01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:33,080 best day ever but well, I'm not going to, you know? 2172 01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:34,840 Yuck. Christine's Yum in this moment. 2173 01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:38,360 I'm going to let her of it and she talks about how it means so 2174 01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:40,920 much for them to be back together and how it's been a 2175 01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:46,240 long two years, harkening back to before when she was talking 2176 01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:49,320 about how she would have rather been house poor, mortgage poor, 2177 01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:53,120 but they didn't do that. It's been a long two years. 2178 01:56:53,240 --> 01:56:54,795 We get another couch interview. 2179 01:56:54,803 --> 01:56:59,734 That is how we are going to end the episode and it's with two 2180 01:56:59,742 --> 01:57:01,854 hard hitting quotes. Yeah. 2181 01:57:01,862 --> 01:57:11,848 One semi intelligent and maybe underhanded and one babbling. 2182 01:57:11,856 --> 01:57:15,485 Absolutely. Christine starts out by telling 2183 01:57:15,485 --> 01:57:18,968 us when we're all together it's the most important thing. 2184 01:57:18,976 --> 01:57:23,430 Being a sister wife is what I wanted more than anything, and I 2185 01:57:23,430 --> 01:57:25,840 knew I wasn't being a good one. 2186 01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:30,314 And it's like, OK, what time are you referencing here when 2187 01:57:30,314 --> 01:57:32,800 you're talking about not being a good sister wife? 2188 01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:35,840 Are you referencing the past two years? 2189 01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:38,200 Are you referencing? Yeah. 2190 01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:41,000 Like what time period are you talking about moving forward 2191 01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:42,040 here? Yeah. 2192 01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:47,520 So she says this very bizarre quote here. 2193 01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:53,720 When I went through my hard times, what if I went to someone 2194 01:57:54,200 --> 01:57:58,600 and they helped me get out? What if they help me leave my 2195 01:57:58,600 --> 01:58:04,240 family and we have a beautiful family and it's just the most 2196 01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:09,800 important thing and good girl, that would have been awful to 2197 01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:15,000 give it up. And Meri is looking sideways at 2198 01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:20,720 her. And during this spiel, they show 2199 01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:25,280 Leon and Christine together in a picture, just the two of them. 2200 01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:28,360 That's the only two child picture that they show. 2201 01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:30,240 Yeah, there's like a family photo. 2202 01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,480 There's. One family photo that they flash 2203 01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:35,280 to and then a picture of Christine and Leon. 2204 01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:38,840 Yeah. I feel like this quote is a dig 2205 01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:44,080 at Meri. I think that Christine found out 2206 01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:48,680 about Meri speaking to other people and she's trying to burn 2207 01:58:48,680 --> 01:58:52,278 her right now and let her know. 2208 01:58:52,286 --> 01:58:56,290 I know, bitch, what would happen if you'd have done this? 2209 01:58:56,298 --> 01:58:57,887 I think she's trying to shame her. 2210 01:58:57,895 --> 01:59:02,480 I'm leaning more towards the perspective of being a viewer 2211 01:59:02,488 --> 01:59:07,494 here at this time and what we know, which is we don't know 2212 01:59:07,502 --> 01:59:09,530 anything about Meri's extracurricular activities. 2213 01:59:09,538 --> 01:59:13,068 We only know that she really loves privacy. 2214 01:59:13,076 --> 01:59:15,645 She really wants privacy. She really needs privacy. 2215 01:59:15,653 --> 01:59:18,210 She's concerned about them not having privacy. 2216 01:59:18,218 --> 01:59:23,932 So when I hear this quote from Christine, I am scratching my 2217 01:59:23,940 --> 01:59:27,179 chin a little bit about like when she's talking about if I, 2218 01:59:27,187 --> 01:59:29,495 you know, I knew I wasn't being a good one. 2219 01:59:29,503 --> 01:59:32,032 I mean, she does reference that with conversations with Robyn 2220 01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:33,980 before. Remember when they went to the 2221 01:59:33,988 --> 01:59:36,715 Greek Diner and she was like, I'm not being a supportive 2222 01:59:36,723 --> 01:59:39,264 sister wife? Because she's being gas lit all 2223 01:59:39,264 --> 01:59:42,232 the fucking time into believing that she's never right and that 2224 01:59:42,232 --> 01:59:43,852 she's always doing everything wrong. 2225 01:59:43,860 --> 01:59:47,580 Which is OK, but that's her understanding or that's what's 2226 01:59:47,588 --> 01:59:51,836 going on with her at that time. And when she says it was a good 2227 01:59:51,836 --> 01:59:55,668 wake up call for her that something happened, I can see 2228 01:59:55,676 --> 01:59:59,935 how that might be. What was that wake up call? 2229 01:59:59,943 --> 02:00:02,990 Was it just Meri's situation that she's supposedly that we 2230 02:00:02,998 --> 02:00:06,455 don't know about, though as a viewer we don't know about, so 2231 02:00:06,463 --> 02:00:09,855 I, I don't. My hang up was wondering what 2232 02:00:09,863 --> 02:00:12,475 the other wives are thinking about while she's saying this 2233 02:00:12,483 --> 02:00:14,848 because I didn't jump to the same conclusion as you. 2234 02:00:14,856 --> 02:00:16,900 I didn't think she was talking about Meri. 2235 02:00:16,908 --> 02:00:19,288 I thought she was talking about a lesson learned. 2236 02:00:19,296 --> 02:00:23,441 And if it wasn't being a thing that she was saying to kind of 2237 02:00:23,449 --> 02:00:27,120 jab at anyone or get anyone else to come to some sort of 2238 02:00:27,128 --> 02:00:30,412 conclusion, then what would anybody else be thinking on this 2239 02:00:30,412 --> 02:00:32,696 couch? Because it's like, what are you 2240 02:00:32,696 --> 02:00:35,430 even getting at here? Other than the general take away 2241 02:00:35,430 --> 02:00:38,280 that we all have, which is, oh, it's great that we're all 2242 02:00:38,288 --> 02:00:40,520 together, what would her, what is her journey here? 2243 02:00:40,528 --> 02:00:44,074 My take away as a viewer here is that somebody was thinking about 2244 02:00:44,074 --> 02:00:44,880 cheating. Right. 2245 02:00:44,888 --> 02:00:49,014 I was left just with a question mark, and that's more of a 2246 02:00:49,022 --> 02:00:52,024 specific question mark. So you know, I don't know, but 2247 02:00:52,032 --> 02:00:54,680 she doesn't say it. Were you thinking there was 2248 02:00:54,688 --> 02:00:55,954 something with the body language stuff? 2249 02:00:55,962 --> 02:00:57,784 Because I feel like you reference something that with 2250 02:00:57,792 --> 02:01:01,282 Meri, like the way she was. Meri was like side eyeing her 2251 02:01:01,290 --> 02:01:04,911 this whole time with this smug look on her face. 2252 02:01:04,919 --> 02:01:11,052 It felt very much to me like well so I have this friend 2253 02:01:11,060 --> 02:01:13,400 right? And it's like, bitch, I'm the 2254 02:01:13,408 --> 02:01:14,860 friend. Yeah, you're talking about me. 2255 02:01:14,868 --> 02:01:17,440 You're talking about me, right? Or you're pretending to talk 2256 02:01:17,448 --> 02:01:19,752 about someone else, but you're talking about yourself. 2257 02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:25,740 Yeah, it had that vibe to it. And the fact that they showed a 2258 02:01:25,740 --> 02:01:29,184 picture of Leon and Christine together felt very pointed. 2259 02:01:29,192 --> 02:01:32,800 And I could be giving the producers too much credit here 2260 02:01:32,808 --> 02:01:36,405 as well. But it felt like Christine was 2261 02:01:36,413 --> 02:01:40,365 trying to be like, Meri. I know what you did. 2262 02:01:40,373 --> 02:01:43,325 I'm ashamed of it. I hope you are, too. 2263 02:01:43,333 --> 02:01:47,692 And this is how I feel. Because they don't ever talk. 2264 02:01:47,700 --> 02:01:51,226 This could be the first time they're speaking in a month. 2265 02:01:51,234 --> 02:01:53,618 You know, maybe Meri did all this. 2266 02:01:53,626 --> 02:01:57,409 Maybe Kody went and kind of blabbed a little bit to each of 2267 02:01:57,409 --> 02:02:00,007 the wives and maybe said something to Christine. 2268 02:02:00,015 --> 02:02:02,832 And Christine's like, I'm ashamed of you and I know what 2269 02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:06,332 you did and I'm going to put you in your place a little bit. 2270 02:02:06,340 --> 02:02:08,823 I'm just saying, based on Christine's book. 2271 02:02:08,831 --> 02:02:12,964 And I don't think that she ever thought about cheating. 2272 02:02:12,972 --> 02:02:17,752 And this quote to me very much feels like about cheating and 2273 02:02:17,760 --> 02:02:19,814 leaving your family for something else. 2274 02:02:19,822 --> 02:02:23,164 I definitely felt the abandonment of family vibes. 2275 02:02:23,172 --> 02:02:28,800 I'm not sure I felt all those same connections, but I can see 2276 02:02:28,800 --> 02:02:32,024 where that happens, especially given my lack of understanding 2277 02:02:32,032 --> 02:02:33,989 of what anyone would have been thinking. 2278 02:02:33,997 --> 02:02:37,106 Because what I don't want to say, it's like what we talked 2279 02:02:37,114 --> 02:02:40,125 about before with the distant stairs, but it's like everyone's 2280 02:02:40,125 --> 02:02:43,340 just kind of there and Meri's given some looks. 2281 02:02:43,348 --> 02:02:47,140 I'm not sure that I read the same thing into her looks that 2282 02:02:47,148 --> 02:02:49,448 you did. But everyone's just sitting 2283 02:02:49,456 --> 02:02:53,462 there and it's like, how is she going off on this long spiel 2284 02:02:53,470 --> 02:02:56,690 about what it could have meant if she left her family? 2285 02:02:56,698 --> 02:02:59,714 And what if she was, you know, talked out of leaving and 2286 02:02:59,722 --> 02:03:01,183 whatever? It's like, where is this even 2287 02:03:01,191 --> 02:03:02,944 coming? From yeah, like why? 2288 02:03:02,952 --> 02:03:06,334 Why you're connecting those dots in that way? 2289 02:03:06,342 --> 02:03:11,129 Yeah, and it's almost like no one knows what to say. 2290 02:03:11,137 --> 02:03:14,508 And so then Robyn Word vomits as per usual. 2291 02:03:14,516 --> 02:03:17,200 So cute Robyn and. She can't shut the fuck up 2292 02:03:17,208 --> 02:03:19,687 because she's trying to, like, cover the tracks. 2293 02:03:19,695 --> 02:03:22,760 So right after Christine's monologue, Robyn decides that 2294 02:03:22,768 --> 02:03:28,504 she has to try 1 upper. And Robyn says, I thinks that 2295 02:03:28,512 --> 02:03:33,880 sometimes people look at our life and they think that our 2296 02:03:33,888 --> 02:03:39,685 lives are our hardest day every day, and that's not what it is. 2297 02:03:39,685 --> 02:03:43,160 We have a hard day every once in 2298 02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:47,360 a while, a hard day where we just want to run. 2299 02:03:47,960 --> 02:03:50,520 But all the rest of the days are good. 2300 02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:55,000 And there's blessings that monogamist women out there will 2301 02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:59,880 never understand. Never, never, never. 2302 02:04:00,920 --> 02:04:03,360 And I remember when we were watching that, I literally 2303 02:04:03,360 --> 02:04:06,840 flipped off the fucking TV because I was like, what are you 2304 02:04:06,880 --> 02:04:10,040 even saying here? It doesn't even make sense. 2305 02:04:10,040 --> 02:04:12,877 You're trying to make monogamist women sound like they will 2306 02:04:12,877 --> 02:04:15,568 never understand what you understand as a polygamist 2307 02:04:15,568 --> 02:04:20,975 woman hot off the heels of someone's hard to follow 2308 02:04:20,975 --> 02:04:23,352 monologue. Like you're just like you said, 2309 02:04:23,352 --> 02:04:26,020 the one up she's. Trying to cover it up and she 2310 02:04:26,028 --> 02:04:29,852 can't shut the fuck up. And we've seen this before when 2311 02:04:29,852 --> 02:04:33,290 they have their Q&A's, yes, where she puts her foot in her 2312 02:04:33,298 --> 02:04:34,860 mouth and it's just like, awkward. 2313 02:04:34,868 --> 02:04:36,925 Yeah. Whenever there's like a group 2314 02:04:36,933 --> 02:04:40,072 setting where they're sitting down, she has to try to be the 2315 02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:41,850 star. But she fucking sucks at it. 2316 02:04:41,858 --> 02:04:44,555 And there were opportunities to just sit there and shut the fuck 2317 02:04:44,555 --> 02:04:45,370 up. Nope. 2318 02:04:45,378 --> 02:04:48,280 And she can't shut the fuck up. Yeah, I mean, maybe not like 2319 02:04:48,288 --> 02:04:49,985 stare off into the distance or whatever. 2320 02:04:49,993 --> 02:04:52,195 I mean, I don't know, it's like maybe. 2321 02:04:52,203 --> 02:04:56,820 But not bash your fans of your show too that are usually like 2322 02:04:56,828 --> 02:05:00,160 mostly monogamous women if not all monogamous women. 2323 02:05:00,168 --> 02:05:03,400 Would not understand. It felt mildly offensive. 2324 02:05:03,408 --> 02:05:07,320 And I'm not a monogamous woman. No, it felt like you're. 2325 02:05:07,328 --> 02:05:10,100 Like what are you doing? Here, alienating your fan base? 2326 02:05:10,100 --> 02:05:11,560 Yeah, it was very weird. 2327 02:05:11,560 --> 02:05:16,560 Very strange, unnecessary. I'm not sure it helped tie a bow 2328 02:05:16,560 --> 02:05:21,160 to a weird end of an episode that I'm unclear about. 2329 02:05:21,200 --> 02:05:25,360 I, I, I don't know. It left on a strange note for 2330 02:05:25,360 --> 02:05:28,280 me. They usually do, because they 2331 02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:31,280 usually. At least at this time, at least 2332 02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:33,760 with this episode, we're not at the cul-de-sac. 2333 02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:36,720 Thank fucking Jesus. Although maybe they're recording 2334 02:05:36,720 --> 02:05:38,560 in the cul-de-sac and we just don't know. 2335 02:05:38,560 --> 02:05:39,640 Right, because it's in the future. 2336 02:05:39,640 --> 02:05:41,640 The homes are over there, They've set up the trailer out 2337 02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:43,840 front and they're all sitting and oh God, probably. 2338 02:05:43,840 --> 02:05:44,840 I don't even know. I don't even know. 2339 02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:45,800 Oh my God. Terrible. 2340 02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:49,160 Terrible. OK, darling, the time has come 2341 02:05:49,160 --> 02:05:52,000 for you to lip sync for your life. 2342 02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:53,560 Just kidding. Wrong show. 2343 02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,040 It's OK because I suck at lip syncing, but I'll actually sing. 2344 02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:02,760 I think this is the first time you can quote me as saying 2345 02:06:02,920 --> 02:06:05,840 please turn the show off. Please turn it off. 2346 02:06:07,160 --> 02:06:08,440 All right, darling. Are you ready? 2347 02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:11,480 You drive us with this one. You drive us. 2348 02:06:12,040 --> 02:06:14,760 Oh God, look at everyone. I'm thinking 101 Dalmatians, 2349 02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:17,840 crazy woman driver. Like look at me. 2350 02:06:17,840 --> 02:06:19,960 I'm putting a woman in charge of driving this. 2351 02:06:20,240 --> 02:06:23,160 I'm sorry I'm just a virgin that can't drive. 2352 02:06:23,240 --> 02:06:30,600 I'm just a girl. In this world, I have taken a 2353 02:06:30,600 --> 02:06:33,640 mustard seed from Aspen recently. 2354 02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:37,360 Maybe even the last episode. Oh yes, you threw her under the 2355 02:06:37,360 --> 02:06:38,840 bus. That poor Aspen. 2356 02:06:39,240 --> 02:06:39,760 Yes. Sorry. 2357 02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:42,120 It's when she was talking about Logan. 2358 02:06:42,120 --> 02:06:43,800 She was talking sure all Logan. 2359 02:06:43,808 --> 02:06:46,034 Yeah, I didn't like that very much. 2360 02:06:46,042 --> 02:06:50,942 Aspen darling, your sweet, sweet brother did not deserve that and 2361 02:06:50,942 --> 02:06:55,820 I'm going to hand you a tiny little mustard seed this go 2362 02:06:55,828 --> 02:06:59,736 around for organizing the move at your mother Christine's 2363 02:06:59,744 --> 02:07:03,130 house. Yes, because, you know, you 2364 02:07:03,138 --> 02:07:08,076 organizing that chaotic family and coming up with a list and 2365 02:07:08,084 --> 02:07:11,280 trying to help your mother was very sincere and kind. 2366 02:07:11,288 --> 02:07:15,550 And so I don't have anything bad to say this episode about you. 2367 02:07:15,558 --> 02:07:17,842 Thank you.

Yes, finally. 2373 02:07:33,580 --> 02:07:36,557 It's funny because you are definitely more list oriented 2374 02:07:36,565 --> 02:07:41,070 than I am, and I consider myself pretty list oriented, but my. 2375 02:07:41,078 --> 02:07:43,320 God, I'm bad.

Week. 2380 02:07:54,898 --> 02:07:57,100 Yes there is. You can't just cross off of 1 2381 02:07:57,108 --> 02:07:58,960 and then move on. No, no, no. 2382 02:07:58,968 --> 02:08:04,332 Date them motherfuckers. My mustard seed this week is 2383 02:08:04,340 --> 02:08:08,616 going to 1 Christine Brown. I'm not even going to apologize 2384 02:08:08,616 --> 02:08:11,340 for giving Christine this mustard seed, because I was 2385 02:08:11,348 --> 02:08:14,608 genuinely enthusiastic for her more than once in this episode. 2386 02:08:14,608 --> 02:08:16,760 I was happy that she got the 2387 02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:20,640 keys to her home. I was happy whenever I was happy 2388 02:08:20,640 --> 02:08:24,280 for her before that, and so that's a beautiful thing. 2389 02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:27,160 And also for me to have two happy moments for Christine in 2390 02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:29,880 one episode really says something. 2391 02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:33,520 She deserves this mustard seed from the bottom of my broken 2392 02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:36,760 heart. I do believe that Christine's 2393 02:08:36,760 --> 02:08:40,200 growing on you, and I'm just going to say I've seen it from 2394 02:08:40,200 --> 02:08:41,920 the start. I've seen the potential from the 2395 02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:49,160 very start. Well honey, I have nothing to 2396 02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:52,160 counter that and would that be funny if in like 6 months from 2397 02:08:52,160 --> 02:08:55,640 now I'm like you guys, Christine is the jewel of this family. 2398 02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:57,160 She is the. Yeah, I know. 2399 02:08:57,760 --> 02:08:59,360 Right. Oh gosh. 2400 02:08:59,440 --> 02:09:00,920 She is. I just think she's a very 2401 02:09:00,920 --> 02:09:04,840 genuine, like, kind person and I think that her reactions are 2402 02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:09,400 very genuine and I think that she couldn't hide A lie if she 2403 02:09:09,400 --> 02:09:10,400 wanted to. I feel that. 2404 02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:13,640 I feel that which. Is why I think that she was 2405 02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:18,080 calling Meri's ass out. See, now that sounds a little 2406 02:09:18,080 --> 02:09:21,320 underhanded to me, but I. Because she's being blatant 2407 02:09:21,320 --> 02:09:25,160 enough to be like, you know, it's you and it's pointed, but 2408 02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:27,400 she's just trying to shame that little bit. 2409 02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:31,887 Well, listen, if I can soften my heart to Christine, anything 2410 02:09:31,887 --> 02:09:34,520 is possible. OK, so maybe who knew? 2411 02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:36,480 Do you? Think what if this podcast 2412 02:09:36,480 --> 02:09:37,788 turned me into a better person? 2413 02:09:37,796 --> 02:09:40,214 Oh my God. Wait, what if Robyn ever got a 2414 02:09:40,222 --> 02:09:43,330 mustard seed? Oh, did the world just. 2415 02:09:43,338 --> 02:09:45,219 I was just.

That one Daniel the construction 2426 02:10:16,720 --> 02:10:22,460 worker, No God, I just find you're so annoying because she's 2427 02:10:22,460 --> 02:10:27,085 manipulating the viewer of the show every which way possible. 2428 02:10:27,093 --> 02:10:32,744 This episode, she tries to use her kids as an excuse to why she 2429 02:10:32,744 --> 02:10:36,784 wants them to stay because they need to see the home. 2430 02:10:36,792 --> 02:10:39,962 And God forbid they don't see this home before they leave for 2431 02:10:39,962 --> 02:10:42,915 the trip to see their daddy. And then she's sacrificing her 2432 02:10:42,923 --> 02:10:45,235 time because it has to do with Christine. 2433 02:10:45,243 --> 02:10:48,648 And it's like, oh, it's not my fault we're going to be late to 2434 02:10:48,648 --> 02:10:50,307 see the kids dad because of Christine. 2435 02:10:50,315 --> 02:10:55,608 And it's like, there's just every excuse and then all my 2436 02:10:55,616 --> 02:10:58,746 kids haven't packed for themselves, like we're going to 2437 02:10:58,746 --> 02:11:03,008 be running late and just putting the blame on everyone 2438 02:11:03,008 --> 02:11:07,184 else and not acknowledging the fact that the dad's not abusive, 2439 02:11:07,184 --> 02:11:09,956 otherwise he wouldn't be taking him there for some sort 2440 02:11:09,956 --> 02:11:13,000 of custody agreement when it came to holidays and Christmas. 2441 02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:15,600 Yeah, Christmas of all the 2442 02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:19,120 holidays.

Is it really that big of a deal 2459 02:12:13,664 --> 02:12:15,840 to show your kids a house for 5 or 10 minutes? 2460 02:12:15,848 --> 02:12:17,658 When they've been there multiple times already. 2461 02:12:17,666 --> 02:12:20,422 They've already been there and then you're going to bring them 2462 02:12:20,422 --> 02:12:21,915 to their dad's house for a holiday. 2463 02:12:21,923 --> 02:12:24,776 Like is it really that important that they see them? 2464 02:12:24,784 --> 02:12:28,160 I, I question that in general, like what kind of parents, like 2465 02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:30,400 it's important they see this house, that they'd be excited 2466 02:12:30,408 --> 02:12:33,040 right before Christmas and then I tear them out of that house to 2467 02:12:33,040 --> 02:12:35,227 bring them to their dad's house who's apparently a 2468 02:12:35,227 --> 02:12:37,200 horrible. So all of it's manipulative 2469 02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:39,360 because she could be manipulating them to be like, 2470 02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:42,520 look what you could have here and now for the holiday, go and 2471 02:12:42,520 --> 02:12:45,160 look at your dad's house. Yeah, look at this. 2472 02:12:45,160 --> 02:12:47,720 No matter which way you look at it, it's bullshit, yeah. 2473 02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:49,680 It's bullshit. It's wrong to do to kids. 2474 02:12:49,800 --> 02:12:51,720 Yeah, bullshit. Terrible, terrible. 2475 02:12:52,240 --> 02:12:55,240 Gross, gross, gross, gross. It is excellent choice for your 2476 02:12:55,240 --> 02:12:59,680 shit stain, darling. I think my shit stain is going 2477 02:12:59,680 --> 02:13:06,440 to go to Leon because that Blair Witch Project moment really 2478 02:13:06,440 --> 02:13:07,600 telling. Thank you for. 2479 02:13:07,920 --> 02:13:08,840 Thank you for that. Yes. 2480 02:13:09,600 --> 02:13:13,480 It just rubbed me the wrong way in many ways. 2481 02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:18,120 And I think Leon has been rubbing me the wrong way in more 2482 02:13:18,120 --> 02:13:21,480 ways than I just said. The whole avoiding that you're a 2483 02:13:21,480 --> 02:13:24,760 spoiled brat bit is done for me on this show. 2484 02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:26,720 You're a spoiled brat. This is not cute. 2485 02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:29,880 You've been on camera for long enough to know that this was not 2486 02:13:29,880 --> 02:13:34,858 going to bode well for you and I think that you were giving 2487 02:13:34,858 --> 02:13:39,347 Leon some great credit for, you know, maybe Meri has not been 2488 02:13:39,347 --> 02:13:42,612 truthful Leon and like divulged all the information so that 2489 02:13:42,612 --> 02:13:44,545 doesn't set your child up to look well with. 2490 02:13:44,553 --> 02:13:47,072 That sets him up for. Failing and complaining on 2491 02:13:47,080 --> 02:13:50,149 camera about shit and looking like a spoiled brat. 2492 02:13:50,157 --> 02:13:56,268 It's not cute. I'm not a fan of Leon right now. 2493 02:13:56,268 --> 02:13:58,600 The clip was unhinged. 2494 02:13:58,680 --> 02:14:03,560 Yeah, it was unhinged. And it was like even Mckelty. 2495 02:14:03,800 --> 02:14:08,400 Mckelty was trying to calm the situation and pull Leon away 2496 02:14:08,400 --> 02:14:10,240 from the camera. That's amazing. 2497 02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:14,840 So like that goes to show me that Mckelty at the younger age 2498 02:14:14,840 --> 02:14:19,960 or if not same ish age had the wherewithal to be like let's cut 2499 02:14:19,960 --> 02:14:24,760 this and then Leon's pushing their mom away and who knows 2500 02:14:24,760 --> 02:14:28,640 what Leon is battling with in their mind at this point in 2501 02:14:28,640 --> 02:14:32,120 their life. But if Leon was to have 2502 02:14:32,120 --> 02:14:35,280 committed murder at that age, they would be charged as an 2503 02:14:35,280 --> 02:14:37,640 adult probably, right? Fair enough. 2504 02:14:37,640 --> 02:14:42,640 So like, at what age do you say a child can consent to being on 2505 02:14:42,640 --> 02:14:44,440 television? Oh honey, I'm not. 2506 02:14:44,600 --> 02:14:46,640 No, and I know we're not going to get into this. 2507 02:14:46,800 --> 02:14:48,720 Like I can't answer that hypothetical no. 2508 02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:53,920 This is a huge question, but children don't have rights. 2509 02:14:54,160 --> 02:14:56,680 Unless you're working them for money, they don't have rights, 2510 02:14:56,680 --> 02:15:00,800 which is fucked up. And so I can completely 2511 02:15:00,800 --> 02:15:03,520 understand how this whole thing would have gotten taken out of 2512 02:15:03,520 --> 02:15:06,400 control and none of the kids ever saw a dime for being on the 2513 02:15:06,400 --> 02:15:07,680 show. And that's fucked up. 2514 02:15:08,440 --> 02:15:12,680 But there comes a point to where you're a certain age and you 2515 02:15:12,680 --> 02:15:19,080 know what's going on and you're kind of in the know, I mean. 2516 02:15:19,520 --> 02:15:22,560 That's my fall back to why Leon's getting the shit stain is 2517 02:15:22,560 --> 02:15:24,600 because it's like this is the sixth season that you're 2518 02:15:24,600 --> 02:15:26,320 filming. You've seen yourself on TV. 2519 02:15:26,320 --> 02:15:28,760 You know what this is? This isn't your first rodeo. 2520 02:15:29,320 --> 02:15:31,840 In light of recent events. At time of filming The Year of 2521 02:15:31,840 --> 02:15:38,040 the Lord 2026, Leon is being a bit performative about wanting 2522 02:15:38,040 --> 02:15:42,877 to share their story while also saying that people talking 2523 02:15:42,877 --> 02:15:45,920 about them or their family need to be more creative. 2524 02:15:45,920 --> 02:15:48,520 Basically like putting people down for being pundits of any 2525 02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:51,720 kind of pop culture anything. Or if you're going to talk about 2526 02:15:51,960 --> 02:15:54,680 anything or anyone, then I guess you're whatever. 2527 02:15:55,360 --> 02:15:59,560 But beyond that is this continued thing that Meri does 2528 02:15:59,560 --> 02:16:02,360 that Leon's now doing where it's like, I will tell my story. 2529 02:16:02,560 --> 02:16:05,400 Don't talk to me in public. I will share my story. 2530 02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:07,800 Don't ask me any questions. I'm going to block people. 2531 02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:11,360 I'm whatever. And it's, it's just, it's just 2532 02:16:11,360 --> 02:16:13,640 lame. It's just it's unlikable. 2533 02:16:13,640 --> 02:16:17,240 Right in a fucking diary then. Like if that's how you need to 2534 02:16:17,240 --> 02:16:20,560 Share your story, get it out like for yourself to heal. 2535 02:16:20,800 --> 02:16:22,288 Right in a fucking diary, yeah. 2536 02:16:22,296 --> 02:16:24,680 Or write a book. Literally write a book if you 2537 02:16:24,688 --> 02:16:27,062 want to. But to keep coming out and 2538 02:16:27,070 --> 02:16:31,122 saying like it's, you know, up to me, my timeline, this, that 2539 02:16:31,130 --> 02:16:33,620 you're 1000% correct that it is. Yeah. 2540 02:16:33,628 --> 02:16:37,180 But why the fuck are you saying this for everyone to like 2541 02:16:37,188 --> 02:16:41,530 continue to see if you don't care about the public opinion? 2542 02:16:41,538 --> 02:16:45,450 Like it's just so backwards and it's like right in a goddamn 2543 02:16:45,459 --> 02:16:47,014 diary. Don't even publish it. 2544 02:16:47,022 --> 02:16:50,815 And to not even be sharing anything of any substance, to be 2545 02:16:50,815 --> 02:16:54,064 going on social media being like, I'll tell my story, I'm 2546 02:16:54,072 --> 02:16:56,287 going to whatever, but blah, blah, blah, blah. 2547 02:16:56,295 --> 02:16:58,895 But then share nothing. It's like you're just looking 2548 02:16:58,903 --> 02:17:03,094 for it just feels like it's a grab for attention, for views, 2549 02:17:03,102 --> 02:17:07,384 for money with some sort of either, I don't want to say 2550 02:17:07,392 --> 02:17:10,480 Patreon, but they definitely have something going on with 2551 02:17:10,487 --> 02:17:14,930 Aubrey or Audrey, whatever their partner's name is for selling 2552 02:17:14,938 --> 02:17:20,216 things to people. I think it's to drum up 2553 02:17:20,224 --> 02:17:23,700 attention and something, but then also being like I don't 2554 02:17:23,709 --> 02:17:26,384 want attention and I don't want you, whatever it's it just 2555 02:17:26,392 --> 02:17:28,799 reminds me of more spoiled brat behavior. 2556 02:17:28,808 --> 02:17:30,652 It's. Very spoiled brat. 2557 02:17:30,660 --> 02:17:36,205 More of the same and I don't really want my current day Leon 2558 02:17:36,205 --> 02:17:39,189 annoyances to color my shit stain choices. 2559 02:17:39,197 --> 02:17:42,894 No, this one was bad. This one was definitely well 2560 02:17:42,902 --> 02:17:44,521 worth. It they literally said they want 2561 02:17:44,521 --> 02:17:48,004 to punch someone in the face because of their mom not getting 2562 02:17:48,004 --> 02:17:50,184 their fucking paperwork in on time. 2563 02:17:50,192 --> 02:17:55,428 Like do you not realize this all falls back on your mom, not the 2564 02:17:55,428 --> 02:17:58,459 underwriter, and you're threatening to punch someone in 2565 02:17:58,459 --> 02:18:01,490 the face for their job and your mom You. 2566 02:18:01,498 --> 02:18:05,233 Know out of upsetness but like you said this maybe not all 2567 02:18:05,241 --> 02:18:08,645 Leon's vault if we want to put it that way. 2568 02:18:08,653 --> 02:18:11,239 Because if Meri's not divulging all the information, it's like 2569 02:18:11,246 --> 02:18:14,103 y'all are two PS in a fucking.
