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 --> 00:00:22,200
Do not make me a victim. 
 
Sweetie, Just look at the 

5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,360
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
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,328
Buckle your seatbelts everybody.

 

9
00:00:49,336 --> 00:00:53,860
We are going on an adventure 
like you haven't seen or heard 


10
00:00:53,868 --> 00:00:57,736
since we all died of dysentery 
on the Oregon Trail. 
 

11
00:00:57,744 --> 00:01:01,360
Score in several years ago on 
the dysentery. 
 

12
00:01:01,368 --> 00:01:03,536
Trail. 
Yeah, it is almost like we're 
 

13
00:01:03,544 --> 00:01:05,592
going back in time. 
I mean. 
 

14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,160
And it's just as made-up as that
computer game. 
 

15
00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:11,360
Yeah, it's a journey and it is 
definitely made-up. 
 

16
00:01:11,368 --> 00:01:17,787
Come with us now as we take a 
journey into Season 5, Episode 7

17
00:01:17,787 --> 00:01:21,758

 of Sister Wives. 
The episode is titled Polygamist

18
00:01:21,758 --> 00:01:25,870

 Pilgrimage Into the Past, and 
I said that without even fucking

19
00:01:25,870 --> 00:01:28,635

 it up. 
No, that was just glorious. 
 

20
00:01:28,643 --> 00:01:33,890
We'll see how long that lasts. 
We opened this wonderful episode

21
00:01:33,890 --> 00:01:36,780

 at Janelle's house. 
Oh, it's funny that we're 
 

22
00:01:36,788 --> 00:01:39,720
opening at Janelle's house 
because we actually see Logan 
 

23
00:01:39,728 --> 00:01:41,555
and Christine in the opening 
shot. 
 

24
00:01:41,563 --> 00:01:42,794
So I was like, what's going on 
here? 
 

25
00:01:42,802 --> 00:01:48,268
I was a little confused. 
But Logan is eating mock tapioca

26
00:01:48,268 --> 00:01:52,441

 pudding, Christine's specialty
that we all, well, maybe not all

27
00:01:52,441 --> 00:01:55,828

 of us, but most of us, wonder 
what the fuck is it? 
 

28
00:01:55,836 --> 00:02:01,205
What are these and? 
Christine's making this for 
 

29
00:02:01,213 --> 00:02:04,818
Logan's birthday, says You know 
this is your birthday gift. 
 

30
00:02:04,826 --> 00:02:07,055
OK, whatever. 
Another birthday about to be 
 

31
00:02:07,063 --> 00:02:08,271
overshadowed by big 
announcements. 
 

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,463
Of course, of course. 
We don't talk about the recaps 


33
00:02:12,471 --> 00:02:17,580
at the beginning very often. 
However, for no fucking reason 


34
00:02:17,588 --> 00:02:24,111
in particular, they decided to 
show us a clip of Meri and 
 

35
00:02:24,119 --> 00:02:27,471
Kody's couch conversation about 
the baby decision again. 
 

36
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:32,802
And when she says I don't think 
you do in response to him saying

37
00:02:32,802 --> 00:02:38,136

 I know this is a tough 
decision, he has a look on his 

38
00:02:38,136 --> 00:02:43,252
face that 
 looks like he is 
just so fucking over it and he 

39
00:02:43,252 --> 00:02:46,280
looks disgusted 
 and the look 
is hateful. 

40
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,520
Yeah, when you see the footage 

the first time in the previous 

41
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,560
episode or whatever episode it 

was, it's like the the angle was

42
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,560
different, the shot was 
 
different and I didn't catch it.

43
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,680
They didn't show his facial 
 
reaction to her quote there. 

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560
Yeah, what did she say again? 
 
Well, he says first. 

45
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,443
I know this is a tough decision.

 

46
00:03:09,451 --> 00:03:13,258
And then she says, I don't think
you do. 
 

47
00:03:13,266 --> 00:03:16,858
That's right in his face. 
Doesn't he like shoot his head 


48
00:03:16,866 --> 00:03:18,934
up and kind of look like I can't
even fucking? 
 

49
00:03:18,942 --> 00:03:21,836
Believe he puts his head up and 
he does this thing where he kind

50
00:03:21,836 --> 00:03:25,641

 of looks up at the ceiling. 
It's not a full eye roll, but 
 

51
00:03:25,649 --> 00:03:31,718
his eyes are buggin and he has 
this hateful look in his eyes. 


52
00:03:31,726 --> 00:03:35,442
Like honestly, that look alone 
just tells me everything that I 

53
00:03:35,442 --> 00:03:38,720
 need to know about where their 
relationship is truly at. 
 

54
00:03:38,728 --> 00:03:44,518
And you know, Chris and I, we 
each watched the episode solo 
 

55
00:03:44,526 --> 00:03:48,832
and then kind of chit chatted 
before watching it together. 
 

56
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,844
And I was like, did you? 
And I didn't even have to say 
 

57
00:03:52,852 --> 00:03:55,799
what I was going to say. 
And you were like, yes. 
 

58
00:03:55,807 --> 00:04:00,742
It was intense and it stood out 
as a moment where we even talked

59
00:04:00,742 --> 00:04:04,630

 about how it could be captured
and part of documentation of 
 

60
00:04:04,638 --> 00:04:08,304
some of the nonverbals and their
reactions to each other. 
 

61
00:04:08,312 --> 00:04:12,404
Because it looks like he is like
shut the fuck up, I don't want 


62
00:04:12,412 --> 00:04:14,663
to hear from you. 
I don't even like you. 
 

63
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:17,368
I can't believe I'm doing this 
captured in a second. 
 

64
00:04:17,375 --> 00:04:20,872
It's everything that you need to
know about where the 
 

65
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,855
relationship was truly at during
that interview around season 5, 

66
00:04:26,855 --> 00:04:33,218
 episode 5 to 7, you know, or 
after when they recorded the 
 

67
00:04:33,226 --> 00:04:36,302
couch conversations. 
But I was telling Chris, I'm 
 

68
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:39,600
like, This is why doing the 
rewatch is so interesting, 
 

69
00:04:39,608 --> 00:04:43,235
because I don't think when I was
hearing about this or when 
 

70
00:04:43,243 --> 00:04:46,560
people were watching it in real 
time that they maybe caught 
 

71
00:04:46,568 --> 00:04:50,620
these little tells. 
And now rewatching it, it's just

72
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:55,905

 so obvious that the family was
in a worse place than the viewer

73
00:04:55,905 --> 00:04:58,560

 ever even could have imagined.
So. 
 

74
00:04:58,568 --> 00:05:01,344
Absolutely. 
Honestly, I don't. 
 

75
00:05:01,352 --> 00:05:06,912
If I ever saw my husband look at
me like that or do a look like 


76
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,240
that behind my back, I would 
think our marriage was over. 
 

77
00:05:10,248 --> 00:05:12,128
Right. 
Yeah, I would know. 
 

78
00:05:12,136 --> 00:05:16,360
Our marriage was in a horrible. 
Spot hate filled disgust, blah 


79
00:05:16,368 --> 00:05:18,980
blah blah. 
Yeah, it was not. 
 

80
00:05:18,988 --> 00:05:20,630
It was not cute. 
It. 
 

81
00:05:20,638 --> 00:05:23,400
Was not cute and he was not 
keeping sweet. 
 

82
00:05:23,408 --> 00:05:26,178
He was not keeping sweet, that 
is for sure. 
 

83
00:05:26,186 --> 00:05:29,200
Oh, do you bastard. 
And thank you for bringing that 

84
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,160
 up because it is totally worth 
mentioning. 
 

85
00:05:31,168 --> 00:05:36,082
It was a high impact moment that
was in a previously on SO. 
 

86
00:05:36,090 --> 00:05:39,735
Yeah, recaps are usually like we
gloss over, we don't notice 
 

87
00:05:39,743 --> 00:05:43,902
much, but you guys are going to 
hear us talk about this episode.

88
00:05:43,902 --> 00:05:45,920

 
And there's maybe a couple of 

89
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,600
mentions here and there about 
 
how Meri, if she had a baby, 

90
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,320
then this, but nothing that 
 
warranted that in the recap. 

91
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,440
Right. 
 
Other than maybe if the 

92
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,120
producers were being smart 
 
trying to show something 

93
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,360
sinister. 
 
Or maybe just to keep viewers 

94
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,360
remembering, like remember that 
 this is a thing and you know, 

95
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,160
and it's one of those things, 
 
it's like we cannot forget. 

96
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,280
We literally you will not allow 
 us to. 

97
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Forget beat us with it. 
 
Seriously. 

98
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,080
Oh my gosh. 
 
So when we're coming back to the

99
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,320
start of the episode, Kody says 
 that he has an announcement. 

100
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,120
So like you said, another 
 
birthday that gets overshadowed 

101
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,760
by an announcement, which is so 
 ridiculous. 

102
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,000
They're all like gathered for 
 
Logan's birthday AKA an 

103
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,640
announcement where everyone's 
 
gathered in the living room and 

104
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,876
sitting around anxiously waiting

 for Kody's announcement where 

105
00:06:40,876 --> 00:06:45,918
he says how would everyone like 
to 
 take a vacation to Nauvoo 

106
00:06:45,918 --> 00:06:48,236
IL in? 
Two RV's. 
 

107
00:06:48,244 --> 00:06:52,000
Oh my God, the younger kids are 
excited. 
 

108
00:06:52,008 --> 00:06:54,560
They all have the like young kid
enthusiasm gay. 
 

109
00:06:54,568 --> 00:06:58,035
We're going to go on a trip and.
We're in an. 
 

110
00:06:58,043 --> 00:07:01,272
RV spinning around in circles 
and spreading our germs 
 

111
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:05,984
everywhere and it's like, cool. 
But our favorite child, Mckelty.

112
00:07:05,984 --> 00:07:08,240

 
Oh yeah, she's annoyed. 

113
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Yeah, the older kids are not 
 
excited and they do a close up 

114
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,880
of Mckelty, OH. 
 
My God, she does the gun to head

115
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,920
and pulling the trigger gesture.

 

116
00:07:18,928 --> 00:07:23,866
That was huge back then. 
I'm sure I did it many a time at

117
00:07:23,866 --> 00:07:28,472

 that point in my life as well,
but nowadays it is not something

118
00:07:28,472 --> 00:07:30,892

 that would be considered 
appropriate. 
 

119
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:35,805
Right, yeah, Kody does in some 
of the details says, you know, 


120
00:07:35,813 --> 00:07:38,660
we're taking two RV's, it's 
going to be 3 days of travel, 
 

121
00:07:38,668 --> 00:07:42,087
blah, blah, blah. 
I think, Mckelty says it's 
 

122
00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:45,295
boring. 
We get to learn about our 
 

123
00:07:45,303 --> 00:07:48,800
culture in Illinois. 
Illinois. 
 

124
00:07:48,808 --> 00:07:51,120
It's so annoying. 
I love. 
 

125
00:07:51,128 --> 00:07:53,925
It it's so totally teenage 
vibes. 
 

126
00:07:53,933 --> 00:07:58,580
Like, yeah, who would want to be
with their family in an RV for 


127
00:07:58,588 --> 00:08:00,840
multiple days to learn about 
your family culture? 
 

128
00:08:00,848 --> 00:08:03,838
Which it turns out, they 
actually do need to learn some 


129
00:08:03,846 --> 00:08:06,184
things about their their culture
and their history. 
 

130
00:08:06,192 --> 00:08:08,682
Yeah, Yeah, they do. 
Which is funny. 
 

131
00:08:08,690 --> 00:08:10,928
It's like an unintended part of 
the episode. 
 

132
00:08:10,936 --> 00:08:14,420
I feel like by the end you were 
making comments about how, wow, 

133
00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:16,984
 they're really learning a lot 
about what they're so 
 

134
00:08:16,992 --> 00:08:18,840
passionate. 
What they should already fucking

135
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,552

 know. 
It's so weird. 
 

136
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,625
Oh yeah. 
Then Kody says it's got a lot of

137
00:08:23,625 --> 00:08:27,775

 Jesus Christ of Latter Day 
Saints history and that this 
 

138
00:08:27,783 --> 00:08:32,414
just tripped me up. 
It's really like going to 
 

139
00:08:32,422 --> 00:08:33,332
Jerusalem. 
Right. 
 

140
00:08:33,341 --> 00:08:38,655
Well, Christine says it's a 
family vacation, but some of the

141
00:08:38,655 --> 00:08:41,453

 older kids are stressed. 
And I'm stressed. 
 

142
00:08:41,461 --> 00:08:43,308
And it's like, yes, OK, you're 
stressed. 
 

143
00:08:43,317 --> 00:08:46,495
And that's when Kody says it's 
like a pilgrimage. 
 

144
00:08:46,503 --> 00:08:51,565
Polygamy didn't start there, but
it's significant in LDS culture.

145
00:08:51,565 --> 00:08:53,840

 
Like returning to Jerusalem. 

146
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,840
Yeah, Joseph Smith introduced 
 
the idea of polygamy in Nauvoo, 

147
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,040
IL. 
 
Yes, ultimately leading to his 

148
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,440
death. 
 
Yeah, we're going to be talking 

149
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,960
a lot about Nauvoo, which is an 
 interesting word. 

150
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,360
It reminds me of the planet of 

Nabu from a one Star Wars saga. 

151
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,960
And once again, it's all 
 
made-up. 

152
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,040
It is. 
 
It is just like Star Wars and 

153
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Kody even mentions at one point 
 that this history dates back to

154
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:33,720
100 or so years ago and he 
 
doesn't even know exactly when 

155
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,120
while making that comment. 
 
And I'm like, if you can trace 

156
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,040
your religion to 100 or so years

 ago, it may or may not be a 

157
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,880
call. 
 
Right right right. 

158
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,350
The LDS church has struggled for

 100 ish years to separate 

159
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:55,080
itself from polygamy. 
 
Therefore Kody and his family 

160
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,720
are like outsiders. 
 
They're like a problem to the 

161
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:05,120
LDS church, which interesting to

 call yourself a problem to the

162
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,520
established religion that your 

family is a part of, a sector of

163
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,040
that broke away. 
 
So it makes sense. 

164
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,280
But it's also like, yeah, you're

 calling your family a problem 

165
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,840
and not really catching the 
 
irony in that. 

166
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Problem to society, problem to 

the LDS. 

167
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,240
But I digress. 
 
Just a problem. 

168
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,440
A problem to our eyes and ears 

and senses on TLC. 

169
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,240
So then we get a shot of the 
 
adults sitting around a table 

170
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,920
doing their planning for this 
 
trip. 

171
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,200
And OK, so Janelle, you know, 
 
sometimes we get reminded of why

172
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720
Janelle's our queen and why we 

love Janelle. 

173
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800
And she says it'll be nice to 
 
get away from the chaos of 

174
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,238
building the houses for a week. 
 

175
00:10:47,246 --> 00:10:50,492
She's also looking forward to 
not thinking about anything for 

176
00:10:50,492 --> 00:10:52,858
 a week. 
And I'm like not thinking about 

177
00:10:52,858 --> 00:10:54,829
 anything. 
While you white knuckle the 
 

178
00:10:54,837 --> 00:10:58,040
steering wheel of an RV for days
on end. 
 

179
00:10:58,048 --> 00:11:01,098
OK, Janelle. 
This theme keeps coming up for 


180
00:11:01,106 --> 00:11:03,575
me. 
I don't want to get too 
 

181
00:11:03,583 --> 00:11:07,168
sidetracked right now, but I 
kind of scratched my head and my

182
00:11:07,168 --> 00:11:10,420

 chin and my balls and I go, 
what is it that you're doing all

183
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:12,066
the 
 time? 
These people make it sound like,

184
00:11:12,066 --> 00:11:13,920

 you know, they're just 
escaping the stresses. 
 

185
00:11:13,928 --> 00:11:16,826
OK, Yeah. 
You know, planning the build of 

186
00:11:16,826 --> 00:11:19,836
 a home is somewhat stressful, 
but my God, Janelle, stop going 

187
00:11:19,836 --> 00:11:23,464
 to the gym at the ass crack of 
dawn and, you know, ignoring 
 

188
00:11:23,472 --> 00:11:26,788
your children all day. 
I guess I I don't really know. 


189
00:11:26,796 --> 00:11:29,080
It's bizarre. 
Kody says they're trading one 
 

190
00:11:29,088 --> 00:11:31,286
kind of chaos for another. 
Yeah, well. 
 

191
00:11:31,294 --> 00:11:33,778
Yeah, well, yeah, the Brown 
family chaos. 
 

192
00:11:33,786 --> 00:11:37,960
Meri says that this is giving me
stress. 
 

193
00:11:37,968 --> 00:11:41,300
Yeah. 
And it's all over her face. 
 

194
00:11:41,308 --> 00:11:46,400
Well, we find out that it's 
going to be a 1600 mile 
 

195
00:11:46,408 --> 00:11:51,440
pilgrimage from Vegas to Nauvoo 
and it's going to take 3 days of

196
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,482

 getting there and then getting
back and that is the plan. 
 

197
00:11:54,490 --> 00:11:57,504
Three days to get there and 
three days to get back. 
 

198
00:11:57,512 --> 00:11:59,550
Seven days total they said the 
trip. 
 

199
00:11:59,558 --> 00:12:04,635
So one day in Nauvoo, after all 
this mess express of planning 
 

200
00:12:04,643 --> 00:12:10,167
and I want to know what the fuck
is the hurry? 
 

201
00:12:10,175 --> 00:12:15,952
What is the rush? 
Why I don't, I don't know. 
 

202
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,180
And in classic television 
storytelling, do we get any 
 

203
00:12:19,188 --> 00:12:21,380
footage of them coming back 
home? 
 

204
00:12:21,388 --> 00:12:24,819
No. 
So I wonder if they really took 

205
00:12:24,819 --> 00:12:29,224
 the RV back home or not. 
Maybe they just were like, we've

206
00:12:29,224 --> 00:12:31,320

 shown enough disgusting 
footage of them getting there 

207
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,720
that they 
 didn't want to 
torture us. 

208
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,480
I don't know. 
 
Yeah, I, I just, I I just 

209
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,560
questioned whether they took the

 RV back home. 

210
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,000
But. 
 
Well, maybe they got dysentery 

211
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,440
on the way home and they 
 
couldn't. 

212
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,320
Show us they couldn't. 
 
Maybe they had somewhere loose 

213
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,600
rolls and loose stools on the 
 
way home, you know, and. 

214
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,920
Maddie rolling up loose stools 

or loose. 

215
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,600
Rolling up their loose stools 
 
and inside the camper. 

216
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,360
In the RV, hitting the bumps and

 being like lookout for those 

217
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,400
loose rolls. 
 
No. 

218
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:08,658
Oh man, You know, once a chef, I

 was a chef, Christine asks 

219
00:13:08,658 --> 00:13:11,907
about if something fun comes up,
how 
 could they fit it into 

220
00:13:11,907 --> 00:13:14,440
their trip? 
 
And I love it, Meri says. 

221
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,320
If it's not in the plan, it's 
 
not happening. 

222
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,800
And she has these wide, 
 
aggressive eyes. 

223
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,320
Like don't you even test me or 

question me here. 

224
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,040
Do not fuck with a planner when 
 it comes to a road trip where 

225
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,400
you have no time for silly 
 
business. 

226
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,000
Nope, no time whatsoever. 
 
We've just constructed this 

227
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,760
timeline of our own volition. 
 
That literally doesn't matter, 

228
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,480
right? 
 
OK, because they're all getting 

229
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,360
back to their busy lives. 
 
Of what? 

230
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Which nobody knows, Christine 
 
says. 

231
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,080
The more we talk about it, the 

more I'm done. 

232
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,320
I'm just saying forget about me 
 because this sounds like a lot 

233
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,240
of stress. 
 
Yeah, just have fun without me. 

234
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,440
This sounds like a lot of 
 
stress. 

235
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,840
And then she makes a face. 
 
She made a lot of faces in this 

236
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,440
episode. 
 
It's very expressive. 

237
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,200
Christine, This entire episode 

has me cracking up and I'm going

238
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,200
to come out and say it again. 
 
I've said it the last few 

239
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,160
episodes. 
 
I love Christine now. 

240
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,080
I love her. 
 
I am a stand for Christine. 

241
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,680
Christine. 
 
I'm just I'm wondering if you're

242
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:22,800
running a fever. 
 
No, she is just being so fucking

243
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,320
honest and it's so refreshing 
 
and she's the only one that's 

244
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,880
like calling out the shit and 
 
just being blatantly honest and 

245
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,120
she's making her faces and she's

 going, Oh well, Gaudi and like

246
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,920
being silly. 
 
And maybe it's the cider flowing

247
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,000
through veins. 
 
Maybe it's the potential. 

248
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,960
I I'm not going to say it, but 

Xanax maybe, I don't know, she 

249
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,400
she mentions she perhaps was on 
 something that she decided not 

250
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,560
to take any more after taking it

 one time. 

251
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,440
But she is hilarious this entire

 episode and she's the only one

252
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,320
speaking truths. 
 
She was definitely the comedic 

253
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,960
relief in this episode. 
 
I did chuckle more than I've 

254
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,720
ever laughed with Christine 
 
collectively over the entire 

255
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,360
series at this point, so that's 
 a good thing. 

256
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,600
When she was kind of like 
 
sidebar the last few episodes 

257
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:21,040
quiet here and there other than 
 her huge exam that she took the

258
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,240
last episode and. 
 
Talking about how their families

259
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,872
breaking up and disintegrating. 
 

260
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,250
Yeah. 
And that nothing works and 
 

261
00:15:27,258 --> 00:15:28,320
nothing makes sense. 
Yeah. 
 

262
00:15:28,328 --> 00:15:30,972
This episode, she was definitely
slapstick, which is, Yeah. 
 

263
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:32,982
It was fun. 
It's like the last episode she 


264
00:15:32,990 --> 00:15:36,775
was kind of coming into her own 
and they gave her the plot and 


265
00:15:36,783 --> 00:15:40,172
now this episode she is just 
like Wham bam, thank you ma'am, 

266
00:15:40,172 --> 00:15:42,940
 I am who I am. 
I do suspect she's on drugs. 
 

267
00:15:42,948 --> 00:15:46,240
I'm just. 
Saying she's You mean like 
 

268
00:15:46,248 --> 00:15:47,827
Maddie? 
She's definitely roll. 
 

269
00:15:47,835 --> 00:15:50,820
She's on a different drug than 
Maddie. 
 

270
00:15:50,828 --> 00:15:51,660
That's. 
Allegedly. 
 

271
00:15:51,668 --> 00:15:52,600
Allegedly. 
Allegedly. 
 

272
00:15:52,608 --> 00:15:56,408
Maddie that episode was like, 
I'm chill, I'm cool. 
 

273
00:15:56,416 --> 00:15:59,006
She's also like that in this 
episode. 
 

274
00:15:59,014 --> 00:16:01,530
I'll get, I'll get through a 
sentence eventually and 
 

275
00:16:01,538 --> 00:16:04,455
Christine's like, I'm going to 
tell you what's going on. 
 

276
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:08,744
Oh my God. 
We get to Meri's and she's 
 

277
00:16:08,752 --> 00:16:12,426
packing the camper and cleaning 
her house and she's acting like 

278
00:16:12,426 --> 00:16:17,480
 it's so early in the morning 
and they show her clock on her 


279
00:16:17,488 --> 00:16:21,448
microwave and it says 7:28 AM. 
Which is early. 
 

280
00:16:21,456 --> 00:16:24,335
Shut up. 
I know well you're a mom with 
 

281
00:16:24,343 --> 00:16:26,640
young kids, but to the average 
person? 
 

282
00:16:26,648 --> 00:16:31,049
To someone. 
Now she's been up for five hours

283
00:16:31,049 --> 00:16:33,700

 already at 2:00 AM, that's. 
Funny. 
 

284
00:16:33,708 --> 00:16:37,392
Yeah. 
I mean, to be up at 728 packing 

285
00:16:37,392 --> 00:16:41,155
 up the RV, frantically 
cleaning, you know, it's is what

286
00:16:41,155 --> 00:16:43,160
it is. 
 
She's trying to get ready to go 

287
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,000
and she says that she can't 
 
stand leaving her house a mess, 

288
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,520
so she's going nuts. 
 
And I identify with that there. 

289
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,560
You know, I don't like leaving a

 mess when I leave as well, so 

290
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,320
that when you get home you're 
 
not like, Oh my God, this is 

291
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,760
what I got home to. 
 
I agree, I don't like leaving 

292
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,480
the place in a state of despair 
 because I don't want to come 

293
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,440
back and feel that despair again

 wash over me. 

294
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:12,400
Are you the type of person that 
 when you get back from a trip 

295
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,680
you unpack the first day? 
 
Or do you slowly unpack 

296
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,280
overtime? 
 
Oh, good question. 

297
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,160
I usually, oh gosh, it's, it 
 
kind of depends on when you get 

298
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,160
in, you know, but usually I 
 
because I try to leave things in

299
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,800
a state of I don't have to do 
 
anything. 

300
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,920
I might throw all my laundry 
 
into the wash and then sit on 

301
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,960
the couch for the rest of the 
 
day. 

302
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,670
I try not to have any activities

 to do for sure, but you know, 

303
00:17:38,670 --> 00:17:41,173
I usually don't have to do a lot

 because it's just me, you 

304
00:17:41,173 --> 00:17:43,320
know, putting my carry on into 
the 
 washing machine. 

305
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,480
I like to unpack right when I 
 
get home if possible, depending 

306
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,371
on the circumstances, and then I

 leave my empty suitcase 

307
00:17:53,371 --> 00:17:57,738
sitting out for public view for 
days on 
 end for my husband to 

308
00:17:57,738 --> 00:18:00,360
take back downstairs. 
 
That's what I was assuming was 

309
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:03,640
for the hubby to put it away. 
 
Yes, if I just leave this object

310
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,280
here for long enough, surely it 
 will be put away. 

311
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,800
Surely it will disappear 
 
magically. 

312
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,800
That's amazing. 
 
This is followed by a mini 

313
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,920
collage of them putting their 
 
things into the RV's getting 

314
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,640
settled. 
 
You know that this is an early 

315
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760
morning mild version of Brown 
 
family chaos. 

316
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,640
Just guess what? 
 
We're getting ready to go, 

317
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,600
everybody. 
 
We find out who's coming and who

318
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,520
is not coming. 
 
We find out that Robyn's sister 

319
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Tara is coming along. 
 
Yes, remember her from a 

320
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,400
previous episode? 
 
We couldn't remember her name. 

321
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,080
I wrote it down. 
 
This time it's Tara. 

322
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,000
We have 21 people total coming 

along on the trip. 

323
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,520
Hunter is staying back for 
 
football camp and Logan is 

324
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,120
staying back for I don't 
 
remember why. 

325
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,800
Prior obligations. 
 
Prior obligations. 

326
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Getting ready for college, let's

 say. 

327
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,440
Maddie is jealous of the boys 
 
that get to stay behind. 

328
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,880
Of course she is. 
 
Luckily, unlike her sister, she 

329
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,240
didn't make any. 
 
I'm killing myself with a gun. 

330
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,160
Oh. 
 
Gestures, Yeah. 

331
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,635
She did have a bun on the top of

 her head that looks like 

332
00:19:04,635 --> 00:19:09,556
cotton candy, like fuzz, like 
she has 
 literally bleached the

333
00:19:09,556 --> 00:19:11,615
absolute living tar out of that 
hair. 
 

334
00:19:11,623 --> 00:19:14,805
And there's just a lot of cotton
candy now that's leftover. 
 

335
00:19:14,813 --> 00:19:18,900
I thought it was beautiful. 
Maddie does predict that things 

336
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:21,520
 will be calm for the first day 
of their travels. 
 

337
00:19:21,528 --> 00:19:24,930
And then she says, quote, things
are going to get bad. 
 

338
00:19:24,938 --> 00:19:27,824
And I was like, yes, things are 
going to get bad. 
 

339
00:19:27,832 --> 00:19:31,035
They totally are. 
They have to drive through 7 
 

340
00:19:31,043 --> 00:19:33,412
states. 
They let us know that Robyn and 

341
00:19:33,412 --> 00:19:36,772
 Christine are going to stay in 
hotels and that Meri and Janelle

342
00:19:36,772 --> 00:19:41,466

 are going to stay in the RV's.
Now why are Meri and Janelle in 

343
00:19:41,466 --> 00:19:44,850
 the RV's and Robyn and 
Christine staying in hotels? 
 

344
00:19:44,858 --> 00:19:47,200
Well. 
Do they tell us? 
 

345
00:19:47,208 --> 00:19:52,220
There's a joke made about how 
having babies is driving this 
 

346
00:19:52,228 --> 00:19:56,328
decision and I don't remember 
what the back and forth is right

347
00:19:56,328 --> 00:20:00,120

 away, but it does land with 
Christine saying no, I'm just a 

348
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,080
 Princess which. 
You know, Christine, she might 


349
00:20:04,088 --> 00:20:07,440
be the funny one in this 
episode, but I didn't laugh at 


350
00:20:07,448 --> 00:20:09,326
that. 
She's a plague Princess, Chris. 

351
00:20:09,326 --> 00:20:10,000
 
Come on. 

352
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,200
She's a plague Princess. 
 
Polygamist royalty, yes. 

353
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,960
And that's when Kody cracks a 
 
joke to Meri that if she had a 

354
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,280
baby, she wouldn't have to stay 
 in the RV. 

355
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,240
Meri says she was easygoing with

 either way. 

356
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,080
She didn't really care whether 

she stayed in a hotel or an RV. 

357
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,520
And I don't really know. 
 
Was there details about this 

358
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,280
baby thing that stood out to 
 
you? 

359
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,080
I mean. 
 
They just call attention to the 

360
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,880
fact that the two with the 
 
youngest children are the ones 

361
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,963
that are staying in a hotel and 
 that they use their babies as 

362
00:20:39,963 --> 00:20:43,244
an excuse for being the ones 
that 
 need to stay in the 

363
00:20:43,244 --> 00:20:46,035
hotel. 
And it doesn't really track 
 

364
00:20:46,043 --> 00:20:52,720
because honestly if I had a baby
I'd probably prefer being in the

365
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,754

 RV while traveling at least I 
don't know while staying. 
 

366
00:20:57,762 --> 00:21:01,615
But packing up all of your like 
baby stuff every morning from a 

367
00:21:01,615 --> 00:21:05,048
 hotel room to get back to the 
family seems like more work than

368
00:21:05,048 --> 00:21:08,140

 staying in the RV and having 
all the babies stuff in one 

369
00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:10,240
spot. 
 
But I'm also curious how the 

370
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,160
kids get divvied up right? 
 
Because just because Robyn and 

371
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,000
Christine are staying in hotel 

rooms, does that mean they get 

372
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800
their own hotel room? 
 
Because if your if your baby's 

373
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,960
young enough to wake up and be 

upset throughout the night, an 

374
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,680
RV would be a better place to 
 
stay. 

375
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,040
You're at least by yourself and 
 not waking up the children, but

376
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,000
maybe the kids are staying in 
 
the RV's. 

377
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,920
They don't really give us these 
 details. 

378
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,894
They don't explain Kody calls it

 camping a few times, which 

379
00:21:32,894 --> 00:21:36,376
makes me wonder if they actually
set 
 up tents for some of the 

380
00:21:36,376 --> 00:21:37,934
kids. 
They probably did. 
 

381
00:21:37,942 --> 00:21:42,282
So if they actually did that, 
then maybe it does make more 
 

382
00:21:42,290 --> 00:21:45,262
sense for the babies and the 
moms to be at the hotel. 
 

383
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:48,241
So they're not helping with all 
of that because the babies have 

384
00:21:48,241 --> 00:21:50,760
 an actual bedtime. 
But either way, they don't. 
 

385
00:21:50,768 --> 00:21:54,521
Make any night anyway so. 
No, either way it's just weird. 

386
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:55,520
 
I'm not I. 

387
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,611
It's messy and it's just another

 opportunity to draw attention 

388
00:21:58,611 --> 00:22:00,840
to the fact that Meri doesn't 
have 
 a baby. 

389
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,320
And it's like, my God, just 
 
stop. 

390
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:06,760
Of course, yeah. 
 
I think another thing that makes

391
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,040
sense to me is that Meri talks 

about how she's easy with it 

392
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,640
either way. 
 
And I think it's funny because 

393
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,484
Meri is particular about certain

 things, but she definitely 

394
00:22:14,484 --> 00:22:17,037
makes sure to point out when 
she's 
 like, I'm cool with it, 

395
00:22:17,037 --> 00:22:18,960
I'm flexible. 
 
And sometimes I feel like 

396
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,579
there's an element of people not

 believing her where I'm 

397
00:22:21,579 --> 00:22:23,400
looking at it going, why 
wouldn't you 
 just believe her?

398
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,600
In this instance? 
 
Meri's literally like I can 

399
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,400
sleep in in the RV, it's cool. 

I can be in a hotel room, I 

400
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,640
don't care. 
 
And I feel like there's a vibe 

401
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,840
of well, really Mare and it's 
 
like, I don't know, it seems 

402
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,743
like she would be fine with it. 
 

403
00:22:35,751 --> 00:22:38,978
And Janelle tried to live in a 
teepee and she didn't make it 
 

404
00:22:38,986 --> 00:22:40,200
overnight. 
She likes camping. 
 

405
00:22:40,208 --> 00:22:42,395
She like. 
Literally tried to live in a 
 

406
00:22:42,403 --> 00:22:43,960
teepee. 
Of course she's going to pick 
 

407
00:22:43,968 --> 00:22:46,312
the RV because she's like, I 
want to stay in an RV. 
 

408
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,165
Like that's her vibe. 
Also though, this entire episode

409
00:22:50,165 --> 00:22:54,955

 Kody is picking on Meri every 
time that he's taking anything 


410
00:22:54,963 --> 00:22:57,400
out on any. 
It's Meri. 
 

411
00:22:57,408 --> 00:22:59,960
We definitely see that as a 
pattern. 
 

412
00:22:59,968 --> 00:23:03,234
Our first stop on this family 
voyage, this pilgrimage, excuse 

413
00:23:03,234 --> 00:23:06,002
 me, it's not a voyage, it's a 
pilgrimage, Is St. 
 

414
00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:11,680
George, UT to visit their friend
Chris who owns family Pond. 
 

415
00:23:11,688 --> 00:23:16,456
Now luckily Chris say luckily 
Chris does come up as a 
 

416
00:23:16,464 --> 00:23:17,655
reoccurring character in the 
show. 
 

417
00:23:17,663 --> 00:23:20,110
We get to interact with him in 
future episodes. 
 

418
00:23:20,118 --> 00:23:23,723
So we're just getting a little 
taste of Chris, which is what I 

419
00:23:23,723 --> 00:23:27,000
 like to call going on a first 
date with Chris, a little taste 

420
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,942
 of Chris. 
Chris also owns the home in 
 

421
00:23:29,950 --> 00:23:35,392
Nauvoo that the family will be 
staying in the Hiram Smith farm,

422
00:23:35,392 --> 00:23:39,260

 named after Joseph Smith's 
brother, which is a lovely 
 

423
00:23:39,268 --> 00:23:41,860
detail to get out of nowhere. 
And then you're wondering, why 


424
00:23:41,868 --> 00:23:43,940
do we care? 
Oh, that's right, they're 
 

425
00:23:43,948 --> 00:23:45,652
finding out things about their 
past. 
 

426
00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:50,032
Well, not their past, their fake
religions past which includes 
 

427
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Joseph Smith and his brother 
Hiram Smith blah blah blah yadda

428
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,074

 yadda yadda. 
Chris points out some sort of 
 

429
00:23:57,082 --> 00:24:00,944
shit in the store that's like a 
picture of Joseph Smith, Brigham

430
00:24:00,944 --> 00:24:03,950

 Young, someone. 
This is where I kind of blacked 

431
00:24:03,950 --> 00:24:06,869
 out and I trauma blocked 
because I'm like I don't know 

432
00:24:06,869 --> 00:24:08,640
what to 
 even say or care 
about. 

433
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,200
They are looking at a photo and 
 a letter, and the letter is 

434
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,560
important. 
 
It adds value and it's a Brigham

435
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,800
Young and it is worth about 
 
$6000 in this Utah pawn shop. 

436
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,480
Oh yes. 6K6. 
 
K. 

437
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:31,000
And if it was outside of Utah or

 Nauvoo Illinois, would it be 

438
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,600
worth 6K? 
 
Probably not. 

439
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,400
You'd be in a dumpster. 
 
Yeah, they joke that Kody looks 

440
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:43,240
like him, that Kody looks like 

Brigham Young, and Robyn thinks 

441
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,320
that Brigham Young is handsome, 
 so she doesn't mind the 

442
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,400
comparison. 
 
And it's like you fucking kiss 

443
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,520
ass. 
 
They also called Brigham Young 

444
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,680
Uncle Brigham Young, which I 
 
thought was creepy. 

445
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,280
I'm like, is this some sort of, 
 you know, like, familiar term 

446
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,320
for the religious fanatics? 
 
And I puked a little in my 

447
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,160
mouth, and I swallowed it, and 

it was OK. 

448
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,080
But the photo of him, like, he's

 a hefty man with this, like, 

449
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,360
cleft beard or I don't know what

 you call. 

450
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,120
It's not attractive. 
 
And then, of course, when 

451
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,640
they're drawing this comparison,

 Kody does this whole, like, 

452
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,452
turn his head and try to do 
whatever. 
 

453
00:25:17,460 --> 00:25:20,080
And it's like, you know, you 
guys are just putting out how 
 

454
00:25:20,088 --> 00:25:22,464
you all look the same because 
you're all inbred. 
 

455
00:25:22,472 --> 00:25:27,335
Like it's so weird. 
They also call Brigham Young the

456
00:25:27,335 --> 00:25:33,303

 modern Moses because he helped
to bring them to Utah from 
 

457
00:25:33,311 --> 00:25:35,340
Illinois. 
Right, right. 
 

458
00:25:35,348 --> 00:25:39,259
Modern Moses. 
He didn't part any seas, but he 

459
00:25:39,259 --> 00:25:43,005
 didn't help the criminals and 
freaks get over some hills. 
 

460
00:25:43,013 --> 00:25:47,538
Well, I would like to dispute 
that because he parted a lot of 

461
00:25:47,538 --> 00:25:51,542
 red seas. 
Oh my God, Oh my God. 
 

462
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:56,398
In fact, Brigham Young had two 
dozen wives at least, so there 


463
00:25:56,406 --> 00:25:59,525
was plenty of opportunities to 
part the Red Seas there. 
 

464
00:25:59,533 --> 00:26:01,744
I cannot believe you just did 
that. 
 

465
00:26:01,752 --> 00:26:06,350
I cannot believe it. 
I mean, it's a beautiful thing. 

466
00:26:06,350 --> 00:26:08,480
 
A goal for their first day of 

467
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,440
travel leaving Vegas is to get 

to Grand Junction Co, which is 

468
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,880
on the West side of the state. 

It's just beyond the border, 

469
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,600
which is 525 miles now, if 
 
you're from the West or you've 

470
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,120
driven through the West, it's 
 
funny because I was like, Grand 

471
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,440
Junction Co has been a 
 
destination for me. 

472
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,920
Like when you're going that way,

 traveling east from the West 

473
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,520
Coast or anywhere over there, 
 
Grand Junction is such a staple 

474
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,557
to stop in because you're like, 
 we're getting across the 

475
00:26:34,557 --> 00:26:35,700
border, We're getting to a 
place. 
 

476
00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:38,310
Like it just is so funny to see.
And I'm like, how many people 
 

477
00:26:38,318 --> 00:26:41,848
have been like, we just have to 
get to Grand Junction, Co. 
 

478
00:26:41,856 --> 00:26:47,080
Meri is doing a lot of Rd. math.
Oh yes, she is. 
 

479
00:26:47,088 --> 00:26:49,912
She's got the hours down and 
when she said something like, 
 

480
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,836
oh, I think it's going to take 8
hours or 12 hours, I don't 
 

481
00:26:52,844 --> 00:26:55,888
remember what she said. 8 or 9 
hours for 500 miles. 
 

482
00:26:55,896 --> 00:26:58,584
Right. 
She said 8 or 9 hours and I'm 
 

483
00:26:58,592 --> 00:27:02,318
going For me as a single man 
doing the trip by myself, I 
 

484
00:27:02,326 --> 00:27:05,059
would plan for 10 hours. 
And that's to like stop to get 


485
00:27:05,067 --> 00:27:08,094
fast food and to pee. 
Like, I don't know where she's 


486
00:27:08,102 --> 00:27:10,900
doing that math. 
I remember always thinking it's 

487
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:15,623
 like a mile a minute. 
Yeah, 525 miles divided by 60 is

488
00:27:15,623 --> 00:27:19,080

 I love how I wrote it down. 
Well, she. 
 

489
00:27:19,088 --> 00:27:23,544
Put 16 hours of driving each 
day, but that they could do 8 or

490
00:27:23,544 --> 00:27:27,499

 9 hours per 500 miles. 
And I'm like Meri, who is doing 

491
00:27:27,499 --> 00:27:31,656
 this Mile Rd. math for you. 
Yeah, no, she did not do well at

492
00:27:31,656 --> 00:27:34,302

 math, clearly. 
I just when you factor the 
 

493
00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:38,200
miles, I'm like that's mile a 
minute I think, right. 
 

494
00:27:38,208 --> 00:27:42,820
Well, yes, 525 miles divided by 
60, which is how many minutes 
 

495
00:27:42,828 --> 00:27:46,492
are in an hour, is 8.75. 
So even if you didn't stop and 


496
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:48,271
you didn't do anything, well, I 
shouldn't say that. 
 

497
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:50,928
If you plan on a mile a minute 
like you're talking about, 
 

498
00:27:50,936 --> 00:27:54,795
that's 8.75 hours, which is why 
I would think it would take 10 


499
00:27:54,803 --> 00:27:56,930
hours. 
She's doing the math as if 
 

500
00:27:56,938 --> 00:27:59,535
they're never going to stop. 
They're just going to float 
 

501
00:27:59,543 --> 00:28:01,388
through everything like it's 
weird math. 
 

502
00:28:01,396 --> 00:28:04,506
Well, they're in RV's. 
They shouldn't have to stop. 
 

503
00:28:04,514 --> 00:28:08,836
They should have potty time in 
their RV's, but then they've got

504
00:28:08,836 --> 00:28:12,080

 the two vans or 1 van 
traveling separately. 
 

505
00:28:12,088 --> 00:28:15,958
I don't know how many vans. 
I didn't even note that there 
 

506
00:28:15,966 --> 00:28:20,232
was a van, so I don't know. 
I guess if they could all fit in

507
00:28:20,232 --> 00:28:22,132

 the RV's they would just pee 
in there. 
 

508
00:28:22,140 --> 00:28:26,480
Well, they show the van being 
driven by Christine at one 
 

509
00:28:26,488 --> 00:28:30,109
point, or by Robyn, so. 
They do have to stop. 
 

510
00:28:30,117 --> 00:28:33,982
Yeah, they do have to stop, and 
they tell us that their potty 
 

511
00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:37,655
stops take about an hour each. 
Oh yeah, they can't just do a 
 

512
00:28:37,663 --> 00:28:40,398
tinkle. 
It's got to be an hour ordeal, 


513
00:28:40,406 --> 00:28:43,740
which you know, Joe Darger would
have none of that. 
 

514
00:28:43,748 --> 00:28:45,460
There would be whippersnap 
you've got. 
 

515
00:28:45,468 --> 00:28:47,106
Hell no. 
You've got 2 minutes to pee and 

516
00:28:47,106 --> 00:28:49,685
 then I'm leaving you in this 
state we don't live in. 
 

517
00:28:49,693 --> 00:28:51,729
The women you don't get a 
toilet. 
 

518
00:28:51,737 --> 00:28:55,106
We stop on the side of the road 
and you use one of those little 

519
00:28:55,106 --> 00:28:57,680
 Dingle hoppers that you put up 
to the. 
 

520
00:28:57,688 --> 00:29:00,360
Oh God. 
You know what I'm talking about?

521
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,760

 
Those like potty urinal things 

522
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640
for women to stand and pee. 
 
Pee. 

523
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,160
Yes, and you got to sanitize 
 
your own dinglehopper. 

524
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,000
Sanitize. 
 
Who said anything about that 

525
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,960
happening? 
 
You just throw it in the back. 

526
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,520
Well, of course, because Meri 
 
sucks at math. 

527
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,680
I was going to, I was going to 

crack a joke about girl math. 

528
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,160
And then I realized, Chris, 
 
that's sexist. 

529
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,520
Quit talking about girl math, 
 
Girl math about food. 

530
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,200
I want to be respectful. 
 
So because she did women math, 

531
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,840
it took them 16 hours to get 
 
word. 

532
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,640
Should have taken them ten. 
 
OK, you know it is what it is. 

533
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Meri never told us she was a 
 
mathematician. 

534
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,000
Me girl math about food, that's 
 in my mind when I'm doing like 

535
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,640
this thing's this many calories 
 and this and this, and it's 

536
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,640
like girl math girl fun time. 
 
I just heard about it on the 

537
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,840
Internet. 
 
I don't, I don't know anything. 

538
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,360
Well, that's probably not even 

like a normal girl math 

539
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,200
situation, but that's just, you 
 know, my own. 

540
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,440
No one said you were normal, 
 
honey. 

541
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,960
Now they acknowledge they're 
 
slow travelers and that their 

542
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,600
potty breaks take an hour. 
 
Like you said. 

543
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,400
They arrive at the campsite 
 
after dark, which is such great 

544
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,800
footage. 
 
They're rolling into the 

545
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,120
campsite and Kody says they 
 
can't arrive at their evening 

546
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,240
destinations 4 hours late every 
 night when you didn't even 

547
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,440
double check your wife's 
 
terrible math. 

548
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,840
There you go. 
 
I mean, it's like leaving 

549
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,320
Janelle in charge of the 
 
finances. 

550
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,120
We left Meri in charge of the 
 
road math. 

551
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,400
I don't know what you expected, 
 Lee. 

552
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,600
It's all, it's all women math to

 me now, Christine says. 

553
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,440
It's late and Kody still wants 

to have an adult conversation. 

554
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,280
And she rolls her eyes in this 

big grand, dramatic fashion. 

555
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,800
And it was funny. 
 
So we had to have a family 

556
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,920
meeting at 11:00. 11:00 PM to 
 
talk about the schedule in about

557
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,880
the 7:00 AM call time. 
 
He calls it a call time. 

558
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,720
Call time, Meri, Meri, Meri. 
 
Quite contrary, she says. 

559
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,840
We left at 8:00 this morning and

 we're still late. 

560
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,720
We have a schedule and Christine

 makes fun of Meri talking by 

561
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,720
doing the teacher voice. 
 
Charlie Brown, The Peanuts. 

562
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,400
She's like the all I'm hearing 

is, yeah, I'd be hearing that 

563
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,240
too at that time after hearing 

kids screaming the entire car 

564
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:24,040
ride for over 8 hours and 
 
Janelle is playing with her hair

565
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,360
and staring off and she looks 
 
exactly like Maddie. 

566
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:35,080
Maddie does this exact same 
 
thing and Oh my gosh they look 

567
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,320
like twins. 
 
When I saw that I was like, Oh 

568
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:44,080
no, this is crazy. 
 
I pointed out at this point that

569
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,400
for the first time I've noticed 
 Kody's ring and there is some 

570
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:55,120
lore around Kody's ring and 
 
going from the Clada to perhaps 

571
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,480
a ring that Christine picked out

 that all the other wives 

572
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,849
approved that he wouldn't wear. 
 

573
00:31:59,857 --> 00:32:03,984
Then he goes to like this big 
signet weird ring from the 
 

574
00:32:03,992 --> 00:32:08,736
collection that Robyn designs 
and this is the first time that 

575
00:32:08,736 --> 00:32:12,400
 I've noticed his rings. 
I do believe that it has a 
 

576
00:32:12,408 --> 00:32:16,098
changed and that's all I can say
about it 'cause we couldn't 
 

577
00:32:16,106 --> 00:32:18,148
really tell. 
There was 1 clear shot of it and

578
00:32:18,148 --> 00:32:21,728

 then that was it. 
But if perhaps this is when and 

579
00:32:21,728 --> 00:32:26,780
 around the time that he changed
his ring Season 5 Episode 7, 
 

580
00:32:26,788 --> 00:32:29,540
it's noticeable. 
And it parallels with Christine 

581
00:32:29,540 --> 00:32:32,140
 talking about how it's great 
that there's a schedule, but 
 

582
00:32:32,148 --> 00:32:34,545
that she's probably going to be 
cranky every night. 
 

583
00:32:34,553 --> 00:32:38,098
Maybe she noticed that ring. 
It was like glistening in the 
 

584
00:32:38,106 --> 00:32:39,938
light. 
And she was like, oh, that 
 

585
00:32:39,946 --> 00:32:43,814
bastard. 
Bastard, I didn't know men could

586
00:32:43,814 --> 00:32:48,955

 be such bastards. 
Thank you for that flashback. 
 

587
00:32:48,963 --> 00:32:53,455
Oh my God. 
Well, luckily the Browns did get

588
00:32:53,455 --> 00:32:58,815

 some sleep and we all, I don't
know, they had some sleep and 
 

589
00:32:58,823 --> 00:33:01,504
now we're at day 2. 
Woo Hoo. 
 

590
00:33:01,512 --> 00:33:04,546
We've got Meri standing outside 
of her RV saying I'm hoping 
 

591
00:33:04,554 --> 00:33:06,738
we'll stay more on top of our 
schedule today. 
 

592
00:33:06,746 --> 00:33:09,696
It was really late when we got 
in last night. 
 

593
00:33:09,704 --> 00:33:14,104
It was kind of stressful and I 
was L0L 0L ING. 
 

594
00:33:14,112 --> 00:33:17,825
I was like, yes, Meri, Meri, 
Meri. 
 

595
00:33:17,833 --> 00:33:21,575
I hate to say it, but I'm 
totally Meri on a road trip. 
 

596
00:33:21,583 --> 00:33:23,746
I'm like, if you want to get 
somewhere by a certain time, 
 

597
00:33:23,754 --> 00:33:27,034
then you got to get there. 
Like I don't know what you want.

598
00:33:27,034 --> 00:33:28,240

 
They're driving through Colorado

599
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,320
on Day 2, and Meri is a hoping 

for another chance to stay on 

600
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:38,800
schedule. 
 
Yes, they've got to get through 

601
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,800
Colorado and get to Goodland, KS

 is where their RV park is 440 

602
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,360
miles away. 
 
So they hit the road, Jack. 

603
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,120
And they are driving campers 
 
called Freedom Elite. 

604
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Oh, Freedom Elite. 
 
Yeah, how very exclusive. 

605
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,520
This is a joke between my 
 
husband and I when we're on a 

606
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,160
road trip. 
 
I, I did this to him one time, 

607
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,720
like inadvertently we were 
 
driving and it was quiet and we 

608
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,120
were not speaking and I saw a 
 
camper pass us and I just like 

609
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,577
screamed out of nowhere the name

 of the camper, let's say 

610
00:34:12,577 --> 00:34:15,202
Cougar. 
And Dave like jumped out of his 

611
00:34:15,202 --> 00:34:17,445
 skin and he was like, what the 
fuck was that? 
 

612
00:34:17,453 --> 00:34:20,474
And I was like the name of the 
camper that just drove by 
 

613
00:34:20,482 --> 00:34:22,219
Cougar. 
And I said it again. 
 

614
00:34:22,228 --> 00:34:25,800
So now it's a joke. 
Whenever we're on a road trip 
 

615
00:34:25,808 --> 00:34:29,764
together, we will just randomly 
yell out the name of like the 
 

616
00:34:29,772 --> 00:34:33,123
campers that drive by. 
And so as soon as I saw the 
 

617
00:34:33,132 --> 00:34:38,077
name, I'm like the Freedom 
Elite, Elite fleet, we got the 2

618
00:34:38,077 --> 00:34:41,987

 elite campers on the road 
going through Colorado. 
 

619
00:34:41,996 --> 00:34:45,370
I was a little surprised also to
not see them like tape over that

620
00:34:45,370 --> 00:34:47,136

 or do something that they 
usually do now. 
 

621
00:34:47,143 --> 00:34:50,762
Yeah, they had the name of the 
rental company across the top of

622
00:34:50,762 --> 00:34:54,159

 the camper as well, which I 
didn't write down, but I think 


623
00:34:54,168 --> 00:34:57,250
it was probably like, oh, this 
is free advertising. 
 

624
00:34:57,258 --> 00:34:58,915
Promotional. 
Nowadays camper company. 
 

625
00:34:58,923 --> 00:35:01,387
Shows they're like, block out 
every word. 
 

626
00:35:01,395 --> 00:35:03,660
Yeah. 
But you know, there's this 
 

627
00:35:03,668 --> 00:35:07,180
footage of them in the RV while 
they're driving of the older 
 

628
00:35:07,188 --> 00:35:11,187
kids snacking around a table. 
And I was thinking, it looks 
 

629
00:35:11,195 --> 00:35:13,544
kind of fun. 
Like I was like, oh, I'd love to

630
00:35:13,544 --> 00:35:15,948

 sit around a table and eat 
some snacks and be like, well, 

631
00:35:15,948 --> 00:35:18,801
let's 
 talk about whatever. 
And then I was like, well, maybe

632
00:35:18,801 --> 00:35:21,650

 it's because I think it'd be 
fun because I've never been on a

633
00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:24,970

 long trip in an RV. 
Because then they start talking 

634
00:35:24,970 --> 00:35:28,512
 about how it's chaotic and loud
and they don't like it and I can

635
00:35:28,512 --> 00:35:29,800

 only imagine. 
Yeah, they're all complaining 
 

636
00:35:29,808 --> 00:35:31,908
about the lack of space and how 
loud it is. 
 

637
00:35:31,916 --> 00:35:35,478
And then they show a clip of 
Saul passed out in his car seat 

638
00:35:35,478 --> 00:35:38,920
 while the kids sitting next to 
him are like all screaming and 


639
00:35:38,928 --> 00:35:40,966
Saul's just like but. 
Yes. 
 

640
00:35:40,974 --> 00:35:43,862
And there's another shot of a 
kid like knocking into Aspen and

641
00:35:43,862 --> 00:35:46,384

 her just looking at them like,
are you fucking kidding? 
 

642
00:35:46,392 --> 00:35:50,043
And I'm like, Oh my gosh. 
So because I never did go on 
 

643
00:35:50,051 --> 00:35:53,968
road trips in an RVI think, you 
know, I know I've been in one 
 

644
00:35:53,976 --> 00:35:57,089
while I was driving, but not 
like across States and stuff. 
 

645
00:35:57,097 --> 00:36:01,700
So when I see that, I'm like, 
oh, I could totally do that, but

646
00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:06,722

 I could do it. 
I wouldn't want to do it. 
 

647
00:36:06,730 --> 00:36:12,182
I cannot even imagine 21 people 
on a road trip. 21 people. 
 

648
00:36:12,190 --> 00:36:18,487
And yet it's like, OK, seven 
days, 21 people, seven days. 
 

649
00:36:18,495 --> 00:36:20,780
Why? 
Why? 
 

650
00:36:20,788 --> 00:36:24,149
They've got all these important 
my sister wife's closet meetings

651
00:36:24,149 --> 00:36:25,920

 to attend to when they get 
home. 

652
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,320
Apparently. 
 
They arrive in Goodland, KS in 

653
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,830
the late PM and Kody talks about

 rotating spending time with 

654
00:36:33,830 --> 00:36:36,400
his wives while traveling while 
 they're on the couch having a 

655
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,160
little spotlight moment and 
 
Robyn says that she hates the 

656
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,280
word rotate. 
 
I hate that word I. 

657
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,520
Hate that word. 
 
And then he's like, what word? 

658
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,840
What? 
 
Because what was the other word 

659
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,600
that he said it was like? 
 
Schedule. 

660
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:49,720
Schedule. 
 
That's right. 

661
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,240
I schedule rotations with my 
 
wives during travel and he's 

662
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:55,640
like. 
 
Yeah, and she goes, I hate that 

663
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,240
word. 
 
And he goes, what schedule? 

664
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,720
Like, Oh yeah, no, she hates the

 word schedule, you idiot. 

665
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,360
So obviously it's rotate. 
 
And then they're all, you know, 

666
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,015
being like, yes, we hate rotate.

 

667
00:37:04,023 --> 00:37:06,790
We hate rotate. 
Janelle's like Kody gets grumpy 

668
00:37:06,790 --> 00:37:12,702
 when we travel and she just 
looks so resigned to life like. 

669
00:37:12,702 --> 00:37:16,320
 
He gets overwhelmed and he often

670
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:23,160
grumpy and Christine says 
 
sometimes she just succumbs to 

671
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,640
it, like Kody's grumpiness, and 
 other times she tries to turn 

672
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,520
that attitude around. 
 
Honestly, it's like, OK, let's 

673
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,375
all make excuses for this man's 
 shitty behavior when he 

674
00:37:34,375 --> 00:37:36,685
travels. 
Like I don't get it. 
 

675
00:37:36,693 --> 00:37:39,520
It's bizarre, bizarro. 
Yeah, I feel like it seems 
 

676
00:37:39,528 --> 00:37:42,170
magnetized because of the number
of wives and the women. 
 

677
00:37:42,178 --> 00:37:46,141
I mean, I think we've all been 
on road trips where you can tell

678
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:49,876

 someone is in the space and 
you just kind of let them be 

679
00:37:49,876 --> 00:37:52,776
there 
 for a little while, 
hoping that the next time you 

680
00:37:52,776 --> 00:37:55,475
talk it's a 
 different tone and
a different thing. 
 

681
00:37:55,483 --> 00:38:00,696
And it would be weird because I 
do get a sense that Kody feels I

682
00:38:00,696 --> 00:38:02,912

 shouldn't say. 
I get a sense he says that even 

683
00:38:02,912 --> 00:38:07,388
 later that he feels obligated 
to have to like, succumb to all 

684
00:38:07,388 --> 00:38:10,876
 these women's things. 
And it's like, oh, my God, needs

685
00:38:10,876 --> 00:38:15,754

 just, it must be a lot. 
It just must be a lot to have to

686
00:38:15,754 --> 00:38:17,860

 navigate those Gray areas, 
those cloudy areas. 
 

687
00:38:17,868 --> 00:38:19,765
I'm, I'm not trying to make 
excuses for him. 
 

688
00:38:19,773 --> 00:38:22,876
I'm just saying everyone gets 
like that, like on a road trip 


689
00:38:22,884 --> 00:38:26,280
or something. 
And so he's probably just like, 

690
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,168
 can I just get a fucking corner
by myself for a few minutes? 
 

691
00:38:30,176 --> 00:38:33,452
Well, and men are just like a 
little clueless sometimes as to 

692
00:38:33,452 --> 00:38:36,796
 like the needs of like others 
around them, especially in 
 

693
00:38:36,804 --> 00:38:39,472
situations like that, because if
they're the ones driving, 
 

694
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,810
they're stressed and they don't 
understand that other people 
 

695
00:38:41,818 --> 00:38:44,404
might be stressed even though 
they're not driving. 
 

696
00:38:44,412 --> 00:38:50,736
I like the first time that we 
ever took a road trip with a 
 

697
00:38:50,744 --> 00:38:54,075
baby, Dave like didn't 
understand why we couldn't take 

698
00:38:54,075 --> 00:38:57,280
 the baby out to feed him like 
while driving. 
 

699
00:38:57,288 --> 00:39:03,047
And I had to be like, well, 
that's just never going to 
 

700
00:39:03,055 --> 00:39:05,194
happen. 
And this is like literally 
 

701
00:39:05,202 --> 00:39:07,216
illegal. 
And then when I said it, he's 
 

702
00:39:07,224 --> 00:39:08,536
like, oh, well, duh. 
Like, duh. 
 

703
00:39:08,544 --> 00:39:11,155
Why did I think that we could do
that? 
 

704
00:39:11,163 --> 00:39:16,904
But it's just like sometimes I 
think men in particular when it 

705
00:39:16,904 --> 00:39:20,355
 comes to travelling, they just 
get in this other mode. 
 

706
00:39:20,363 --> 00:39:22,270
Like I don't even know how to 
explain it. 
 

707
00:39:22,278 --> 00:39:24,388
Like the women that are 
listening will get it. 
 

708
00:39:24,396 --> 00:39:27,508
Like if men, I get it, get in 
this mode when they're 
 

709
00:39:27,516 --> 00:39:31,058
travelling and I'm more like, 
what's the hurry? 
 

710
00:39:31,066 --> 00:39:34,728
Like let's chill out. 
Let's if people need to stop and

711
00:39:34,728 --> 00:39:38,140

 go potty, like it's going to 
have to happen regardless if you

712
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:41,458

 want it to or not. 
My dad was the type of dad that 

713
00:39:41,458 --> 00:39:44,461
 would be like pulling the van 
over and trying to make me like 

714
00:39:44,461 --> 00:39:47,780
 hang my ass over outside of the
sliding van door and pee. 
 

715
00:39:47,788 --> 00:39:51,642
And I had pee fright. 
And then it would be like I'm 
 

716
00:39:51,650 --> 00:39:55,152
hanging my ass out of the siding
door for 30 minutes instead of 


717
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,552
at the rest stop up the road for
10. 
 

718
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,822
Like what the fuck? 
Like, let's just chill out, you 

719
00:40:00,822 --> 00:40:04,322
 know, like why are we rushing 
this road trip into seven days? 

720
00:40:04,322 --> 00:40:05,360
 
I don't know. 

721
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,360
These people drive me fucking 
 
insane. 

722
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,200
One thing the editors do in this

 episode sometimes is they're 

723
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,920
like, that's the end of the day,

 and then here's the next day. 

724
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,800
So now it's day three. 
 
It's like, OK, sounds good. 

725
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,400
We know there was more to that 

story, but it is only one 

726
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,760
episode and we've got to get 
 
through it. 

727
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,640
So just like this episode is 
 
based like their trip, it's like

728
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,240
for some reason we have to only 
 show half of it. 

729
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,720
God. 
 
Instead of doing these weird Q 

730
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:33,960
and as that they've done before,

 it's like, why couldn't you 

731
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,200
split some of these episodes? 
 
Up right, like a two-part travel

732
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,120
episode. 
 
But I don't know that they drove

733
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,240
back. 
 
Just well. 

734
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:43,240
I don't know that they drove 
 
back. 

735
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,600
You think they flew back? 
 
I find it a little hard to 

736
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,320
believe that they paid for 
 
everyone to fly back. 

737
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,760
So I could see why they would 
 
drive back, but I also don't get

738
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,960
why you wouldn't have. 
 
Maybe they didn't want 

739
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,440
production to go back. 
 
Maybe it was a cost saver. 

740
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,440
Like you get back however you 
 
get back, you know what I mean? 

741
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,840
Like we don't want to have the 

crew filming you for the whole 

742
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,240
time. 
 
That might make sense now for 

743
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:06,240
day three. 
 
Their goal is to get to 

744
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,120
Maysville, MO. 
 
Maysville, MO. 

745
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,960
Maysville, MO. 470 miles to go 

on day three here. 

746
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,480
Most of which is Kansas. 
 
And that makes me go yawn, 

747
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:25,080
boring OMG. 
 
Because if you've driven West to

748
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,040
east or east to West through 
 
Kansas, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, 

749
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,680
Nebraska, it's just, you know, 

there's beautiful places in 

750
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,960
these states. 
 
Not trying to put you down if 

751
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,640
you live there. 
 
You know, please don't leave us 

752
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,040
a negative review about how I'm 
 talking about driving through 

753
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,880
the state, but there's a lot of 
 nothing. 

754
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,080
Rolling grasslands it's. 
 
Literally, like I remember one 

755
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,240
time driving through Nebraska 
 
and there was road construction 

756
00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:48,400
and I was so glad because it 
 
made you have to pay attention 

757
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,480
to like switching left to right 
 and stuff. 

758
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,040
It was like at least something 

was happening. 

759
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,176
And so, you know, those, those, 
 those stretches tend to be a 

760
00:41:55,176 --> 00:42:00,320
bit long. 
 
Robyn, Robyn, our hero, she 

761
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:01,800
says. 
 
Originally we talked about 

762
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,880
making the trip to Nabu in three

 days. 

763
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,440
Here we are on our third day and

 we're this far behind. 

764
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:13,640
There's no way. 
 
It's like, yes girl, way to 

765
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,040
state the obvious. 
 
Kody shares his concern about 

766
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,080
their lack of sleep every 
 
evening and the wind. 

767
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,440
We're in a wind, so we're. 
 
The wind is our new character in

768
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,160
this episode. 
 
So it happens when there's no 

769
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,840
landscaping. 
 
Rolling hills and lots of wind. 

770
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,320
And Kody, they show a clip of 
 
him running from RV to RV as 

771
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,280
they're hitting the road. 
 
Getting started and I was lol 

772
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,960
ING because as he's running the 
 hair is like blowing in the 

773
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,200
wind. 
 
He looks like a soccer mom 

774
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,760
running to like their child on 

the field to give them their 

775
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,040
Gatorade bottle or something. 
 
It was quite the sight. 

776
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,200
It was really something as 
 
they're describing this kind of 

777
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,440
wind happening. 
 
They show footage of the RV's 

778
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,880
being blown while driving down 

the road and the awnings of the 

779
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,000
RV's are being pulled out by the

 wind, so of course they have 

780
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,920
to pull over to figure out what 
to 
 do. 

781
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,440
They're catching like sails in 

the wind. 

782
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:14,120
Like Christopher crost on OH. 
 
Boy, and then we find out about 

783
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:18,480
Kody's lack of sleep and that 
 
he's only been getting 4 hours 

784
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,560
of sleep each night so far. 
 
And I've been fighting the wind 

785
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,280
all day. 
 
Yep. 

786
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,000
And I'm just done. 
 
It's like, OK, now this is one 

787
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,600
of my favorite scenes of this 
 
episode. 

788
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,720
Kody goes into the RV to talk to

 Meri and Robyn. 

789
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,720
Kody says, can we take a break 

now? 

790
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,720
Now mind you this also, I have 

to preface with that they didn't

791
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:42,280
really give us enough context 
 
clues to how long this has been 

792
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,640
or anything. 
 
Like they hit the road, it's 

793
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,280
windy, they pulled over. 
 
I don't know how long it's been 

794
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,640
on this day, but Kody says, can 
 we take a break now? 

795
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:57,240
And Meri says, no, I'm fine. 
 
Kody goes so you just want to 

796
00:43:57,240 --> 00:44:02,360
constantly drive and Meri said I

 would love to constantly drive

797
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,520
and I was like Oh my God, Oh my 
 God, I'm so deep. 

798
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:10,320
Meri right now Kody's like I 
 
have 4 hours of sleep. 4 hours 

799
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,160
of sleep is not enough. 
 
I stopped because I was falling 

800
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:20,400
asleep and Meri's like, I'm 
 
fine, Kody says. 

801
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,520
We just have to get a rotation 

here and they are not on the 

802
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,280
same page at all. 
 
And he uses the word rotation 

803
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,720
again. 
 
Rotation and it's funny because 

804
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:32,130
he's really just trying to tell 
 her like I'm falling asleep 

805
00:44:32,130 --> 00:44:36,062
I've been driving too much blah 
blah 
 blah and she's like I'm 

806
00:44:36,062 --> 00:44:38,840
cool I'm fine I'm Meri they call
me 
 mayor. 

807
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,105
I'm cool to keep driving forever

 and I feel like I would 

808
00:44:43,105 --> 00:44:45,024
totally be Meri in this 
situation. 
 

809
00:44:45,032 --> 00:44:48,195
And I'm just like, listen baby 
boy, have someone else drive, 
 

810
00:44:48,203 --> 00:44:50,866
take a catnap, close your eyes, 
sit in the passenger seat. 
 

811
00:44:50,874 --> 00:44:53,560
Like do you have to drive? 
Well Robyn's dumbass is sitting 

812
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,910
 there like she is a 15 year old
without a license like looking 


813
00:44:56,918 --> 00:45:00,440
back and forth and she could 
offer to be like oh I'll take 
 

814
00:45:00,448 --> 00:45:02,423
over for you Kody. 
Yeah. 
 

815
00:45:02,431 --> 00:45:03,714
No, no, that's not going to. 
Happen. 
 

816
00:45:03,722 --> 00:45:04,995
That's not going to happen, 
yeah. 
 

817
00:45:05,003 --> 00:45:08,662
So Meri wraps up their exchange 
for the moment by saying So 
 

818
00:45:08,670 --> 00:45:11,388
whenever you say the word, I'm 
good to go. 
 

819
00:45:11,396 --> 00:45:15,780
And Kody is so pissed because 
he's there to say I don't want 


820
00:45:15,788 --> 00:45:17,220
to keep driving. 
Sure. 
 

821
00:45:17,228 --> 00:45:20,355
She is not having any of it. 
She's just like, whenever you 
 

822
00:45:20,363 --> 00:45:23,474
say the word, I'm good to go. 
And I'm like, Oh my God. 
 

823
00:45:23,482 --> 00:45:26,998
So now we get a little couch 
break from the scene where we're

824
00:45:26,998 --> 00:45:30,632

 going to get a little, you 
know, tidbit from Kody says. 
 

825
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:35,500
I was too exhausted to delegate.
I just wanted to bark orders and

826
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:38,756

 have them be obeyed. 
I just wanted to bark orders and

827
00:45:38,756 --> 00:45:40,089

 have them obey. 
Obey. 
 

828
00:45:40,097 --> 00:45:45,068
And the way he says it is so 
aggressive and Christine says 
 

829
00:45:45,076 --> 00:45:49,139
that's offensive. 
The word obey and saying that we

830
00:45:49,139 --> 00:45:50,720

 need to obey, that's 
offensive. 

831
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,480
It's like. 
 
She says it's in fact a four 

832
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,080
letter word, which it actually 

is. 

833
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,240
Obey. 
 
So good on her. 

834
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:03,000
Pretty clever for Christine. 
 
I feel her so hard in this 

835
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,844
moment and I can't believe she's

 the only one that spoke up 

836
00:46:05,844 --> 00:46:08,080
here, or at least the only one 
that 
 they show speaking up. 

837
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,640
And This is why I'm standing her

 hard this episode yet again 

838
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,200
because she is like, that's 
 
offensive, OK? 

839
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,080
Robyn said offensive about 
 
rotate. 

840
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,880
Like, OK, but basically, yeah. 

Semantics, Robyn. 

841
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,200
He is rotating waves, him 
 
telling his wives to obey. 

842
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,520
It's literally like keep sweet 

and obey. 

843
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,000
That's like part of what they 
 
say all the time. 

844
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
And this is his true colors 
 
coming out. 

845
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,320
This is his true colors. 
 
And her saying, I think in her 

846
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,680
family, like we don't use things

 like that. 

847
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,120
We don't say things like that. 

That's offensive. 

848
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,160
And the other women are just 
 
like keeping quiet. 

849
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,680
There's also an element to this 
 is what I struggle with with 

850
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,720
Kody. 
 
One of the things I struggle 

851
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:55,480
with with Kody is that we're 
 
having a couch moment. 

852
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,440
This is post filming all of 
 
this. 

853
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,480
He once again opens his big 
 
fucking stupid mouth and says 

854
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,560
something like my wife should 
 
obey me. 

855
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,440
It's like, why are you even 
 
doing this? 

856
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,800
And he's getting heated again, 

like he's in the moment. 

857
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,840
Right. 
 
It's like, you know, you could 

858
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,640
explain why you were frustrated 
 in a way that doesn't use 

859
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,794
language that obviously is going

 to be turned around back at 

860
00:47:14,794 --> 00:47:17,000
you going this is offensive in a

 four letter word. 

861
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,920
It's literally rude. 
 
Well linked to the culture and 

862
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,440
linked to the religion in an 
 
offensive way as well. 

863
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:28,280
Like This is why people have a 

problem with the religion and 

864
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,416
with the sect that you belong to

 because they use words like 

865
00:47:32,416 --> 00:47:35,400
that when it comes to women. 
 
And it is offensive. 

866
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:41,440
And it's like marriage vows. 
 
I'm so happy that women have 

867
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,680
started saying like, oh, or 
 
we're not going to say this, 

868
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,320
that and the other thing in our 
 marriage vows, like obey, to 

869
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:52,680
have and hold whatever. 
 
It's like these things that 

870
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,600
women have been taught for so 
 
long and specifically in 

871
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,280
religion like this. 
 
It is fucking offensive and you 

872
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,200
wonder why people fight back 
 
against your beliefs in your 

873
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,520
religion. 
 
Right, right. 

874
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,146
Kody continues to pontificate or

 whatever the word would be 

875
00:48:08,146 --> 00:48:11,880
about when he gets grumpy. 
 
It's hard for him to be patient 

876
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,240
and to speak to everyone in a 
 
delicate manner. 

877
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,000
Now we got back to the RV to one

 of my favorite scenes. 

878
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,560
And Kody leaves the RV by 
 
slamming the door shut. 

879
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,334
And what does Robyn say, honey? 
 

880
00:48:26,342 --> 00:48:30,908
What's wrong and? 
Meri says I have no idea. 
 

881
00:48:30,916 --> 00:48:34,260
And Robyn goes. 
I'm confused. 
 

882
00:48:34,268 --> 00:48:41,560
And I'm going no, you're not. 
She's just pretending to not 
 

883
00:48:41,568 --> 00:48:44,172
know, right? 
She's pretending to not know so 

884
00:48:44,172 --> 00:48:46,435
 that she's not the one that 
gets in trouble. 
 

885
00:48:46,443 --> 00:48:49,800
And Meri's taking the heat. 
Yet again, Meri takes the heat 


886
00:48:49,808 --> 00:48:52,820
every single time he's 
frustrated in this episode. 
 

887
00:48:52,828 --> 00:48:56,802
At least three times he blows up
and blames Meri. 
 

888
00:48:56,810 --> 00:49:02,640
And it's mostly he's trying to 
say it's because she planned the

889
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:07,470

 trip OK, even though earlier 
he said, well, we all chose to 

890
00:49:07,470 --> 00:49:09,504
do 
 this. 
And now he's just blaming her 
 

891
00:49:09,512 --> 00:49:12,302
every chance that he gets. 
And it makes me wonder what's 
 

892
00:49:12,310 --> 00:49:15,910
going on behind the scenes and 
if this is the timing, like 
 

893
00:49:15,918 --> 00:49:19,950
where he found out some 
nefarious things that she was 
 

894
00:49:19,958 --> 00:49:23,764
supposedly doing online. 
I don't know the timeline of 
 

895
00:49:23,772 --> 00:49:27,512
that, but he is taking his anger
out on her specifically. 
 

896
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,840
And then Robyn's just pretending
to be all innocent and so 
 

897
00:49:31,848 --> 00:49:34,792
confused and. 
There's totally some connect, 
 

898
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:40,816
not to restate what you said, 
but with her to be like by not 


899
00:49:40,824 --> 00:49:44,802
acknowledging what's going on, 
by not even pretending like she 

900
00:49:44,802 --> 00:49:48,200
 doesn't even know, it's like 
she doesn't have to hold Kody. 


901
00:49:48,208 --> 00:49:49,789
She doesn't have to hold 
accountability. 
 

902
00:49:49,797 --> 00:49:53,069
She doesn't have to hold Kody 
accountable. 
 

903
00:49:53,077 --> 00:49:56,440
I don't know why that sentence 
was so hard for me. 
 

904
00:49:56,448 --> 00:50:01,478
And even really, like she 
doesn't have to say to Meri like

905
00:50:01,478 --> 00:50:05,707

 this is ridiculous or and you 
know, like she just she's like 


906
00:50:05,715 --> 00:50:08,200
Switzerland but dumb. 
Yeah, she doesn't like, say I'm 

907
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:12,032
 sorry he spoke to you like 
that, Meri, or I'm going to go 

908
00:50:12,032 --> 00:50:16,109
talk to 
 him, or maybe I should
go and drive for him. 
 

909
00:50:16,117 --> 00:50:19,048
She offers no solutions. 
She just plays dumb. 
 

910
00:50:19,056 --> 00:50:22,344
Yeah, she's doesn't even have to
play it most of the time. 
 

911
00:50:22,352 --> 00:50:24,950
If I may point out is what Kody 
does too. 
 

912
00:50:24,958 --> 00:50:29,250
Like with the dog situation, he 
was going to just play dumb and 

913
00:50:29,250 --> 00:50:31,776
 pretend that the dog 
disappeared and then Meri would 

914
00:50:31,776 --> 00:50:33,480
have taken 
 the fucking blame 
for that. 

915
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,720
We all know that because it's 
 
her dog in quotations and if it 

916
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:40,200
disappeared it would have been 

her fault. 

917
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,760
He won't take accountability for

 things because he'd rather be 

918
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,080
the good guy. 
 
Robyn won't take accountability 

919
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,160
for things because she'd rather 
 play stupid and keep sweet and 

920
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:55,280
be The Good Wife. 
 
There are two peas in a dirty 

921
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,840
Peapod. 
 
Yes, and that was a really good 

922
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,920
parallel right there. 
 
Like putting those out because 

923
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,680
it's very true. 
 
It's yucky. 

924
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,920
Meri wonders. 
 
What's he mad about? 

925
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,680
Is he mad that I can drive? 
 
I'm not tired, I can drive, It's

926
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,280
not a big deal. 
 
But don't you know, Meri, that 

927
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,240
women can't drive? 
 
Like, come on, of course he's 

928
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:20,400
angry. 
 
So Kody returns to the RV and 

929
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,840
says, OK, we're leaving right 
 
now. 

930
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,560
And Meri's like, OK. 
 
And I just love it because Meri 

931
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,080
is not, she's not giving him an 
 inch with this. 

932
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,960
She is just like, OK, sounds 
 
good. 

933
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,360
Thanks sweetie. 
 
All right, PT fucking keen, 

934
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,920
please choke on a jawbreaker. 
 
So good, so good. 

935
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,160
I was so team married during 
 
this whole exchange. 

936
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,280
I was just like, don't let him 

get under your skin and don't 

937
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,760
let him run everything with his 
 anger. 

938
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,720
I was just over it. 
 
But you've also got your like, 

939
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:54,000
best little bitch Robyn sitting 
 next to you, sitting bitch and 

940
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,320
pretending that she's kind of on

 your side but also not. 

941
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,040
Yeah, there was just something 

about Meri's nonverbals and the 

942
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,120
way that she was sitting and the

 way that she was not going to,

943
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,880
like, meet him in the level that

 I was like, fuck yes, Meri. 

944
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,200
The way her wrinkles were like 

set, they were just like not 

945
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,080
taking any of it. 
 
Not a wrinkle. 

946
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,080
It's the spray tan. 
 
The spray tan has set into those

947
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,720
little wrinkly rings. 
 
Continues to do that. 

948
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,480
So now we're going to be 
 
approaching Topeka, KS. 

949
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,320
Darling, this is going to be so 
 exciting. 

950
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,880
Topeka just outside of Topeka, 

KS. 

951
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,440
Oh, but you just glossed over 
 
this whole thing like they did. 

952
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:39,240
They go back to the couch and 
 
Kody just reiterates that he was

953
00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:43,040
just so exhausted. 
 
So let's stop talking about my 

954
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:51,440
lack of brain function. 
 
And then it's like a bad sitcom 

955
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,680
where they hit the little tit, 

Ding Ding and move on. 

956
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:56,982
You're right, I didn't do that. 
 

957
00:52:56,990 --> 00:52:58,870
You just glossed over it like 
they did. 
 

958
00:52:58,878 --> 00:53:02,098
They just literally were like, 
that's the end of that fight, 
 

959
00:53:02,106 --> 00:53:02,806
right? 
Totally. 
 

960
00:53:02,814 --> 00:53:06,014
Like Kody just looked like a 
crazy person who's insane and 
 

961
00:53:06,022 --> 00:53:08,220
bad. 
And it's like, chalk it up to 
 

962
00:53:08,228 --> 00:53:12,005
Kody, me and Kody. 
Yeah, it's totally even like 
 

963
00:53:12,013 --> 00:53:15,228
cartoons and sitcoms, right? 
Like the absent husband, absent 

964
00:53:15,228 --> 00:53:19,357
 minded husband, the idiot. 
Yeah, wife eats the shit pie and

965
00:53:19,357 --> 00:53:22,320

 then let's move on. 
So ridiculous. 
 

966
00:53:22,328 --> 00:53:24,541
Typical man for me to just skip 
over that God. 
 

967
00:53:24,549 --> 00:53:28,122
Damn it, Christopher. 
Please forgive me I had some 
 

968
00:53:28,130 --> 00:53:32,480
women math with that Meri found 
a place when going online to 
 

969
00:53:32,488 --> 00:53:35,115
research their trip called Truck
Henge Truck. 
 

970
00:53:35,123 --> 00:53:39,985
Henge like Stonehenge but better
one might say. 
 

971
00:53:39,993 --> 00:53:45,100
Far more inspiring, Truck Henge 
is basically a bunch of trucks 


972
00:53:45,108 --> 00:53:47,472
that are cemented into the 
ground vertically. 
 

973
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,412
Now to give you an idea of the 
setting before we're introduced 

974
00:53:51,412 --> 00:53:56,940
 to the person who owns and runs
Truck Henge, which I'm really 
 

975
00:53:56,948 --> 00:54:01,557
struggling with saying, they 
show us a few shots of these 
 

976
00:54:01,565 --> 00:54:06,660
trucks and other vehicles 
vertical into the ground, 
 

977
00:54:06,668 --> 00:54:12,380
surrounded by fields and trees 
and dumpy looking property. 
 

978
00:54:12,388 --> 00:54:19,246
Not manicured, not anything, 
just kind of like rural vibes 
 

979
00:54:19,254 --> 00:54:23,426
with. 
You mean like rural Topeka, KS? 

980
00:54:23,426 --> 00:54:25,880
 
With vehicles sticking out of 

981
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,440
the ground vertically. 
 
It's almost like a tornado went 

982
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:33,760
through there and a bunch of 
 
vehicles landed in vertical 

983
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:39,000
positions, but we meet a 
 
national treasure. 

984
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:43,040
Yes, we do. 
 
One Ron Lessman looking like 

985
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,960
he's been kicked in a tooth or 

two. 

986
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:51,400
Kicked in a tooth or two. 
 
Ron is wearing AT shirt that 

987
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:56,160
says you say psycho like it's a 
 bad thing, written in a fun 

988
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,560
font. 
 
And I was like, oh, Ron, you're 

989
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,560
just, you're right. 
 
He's a treasure. 

990
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,040
He really is. 
 
He tells the story about how 

991
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,160
Truck Henge came to be and 
 
essentially what it boils down 

992
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,920
to is that the county was sick 

of his shit and sick of his 

993
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:19,520
trash and they told him that he 
 needed to pick up the trucks. 

994
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,240
Well, the county came with a 
 
search warrant and told him he 

995
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:26,320
had to pick up his trucks. 
 
Now, honey, before we get into 

996
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,520
some of his storytelling with 
 
this incident, how do we 

997
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:34,720
describe Ron? 
 
Like he's got a crazy beard. 

998
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,040
Like he looks like the like a a 
 mountain man, but there's no 

999
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,160
mountains. 
 
Like a mountain man slash 

1000
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,080
hippie. 
 
Yes, yes. 

1001
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,840
He's a degenerate. 
 
He's a degenerate. 

1002
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,920
I know right, like fresh forward

 a little. 

1003
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
That's what a little bit to when

 Christine talks about how he's

1004
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,120
like he doesn't trust the 
 
government and he's a weirdo and

1005
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,560
just all of those kind of 
 
stereotypes put onto a person. 

1006
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,640
Like he has been kicked to the 

tooth. 

1007
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:02,920
He's got this crazy mangy beard 
 thing going on. 

1008
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,920
He's wearing this insane shirt 

that says you say psycho like 

1009
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,960
it's a bad thing and he looks 
 
like he hasn't talked to another

1010
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,080
human in like 5 years. 
 
He looks like a conspiracy 

1011
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,320
theorist. 
 
Like he perhaps has a tinfoil or

1012
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,560
two that fit him very well. 
 
Yes, and maybe him or his 

1013
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,400
sister. 
 
Wife or his sister. 

1014
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,600
Wife, His sister you wish. 
 
Wife he. 

1015
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,080
Fucking wishes he even says so 

later. 

1016
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,320
Makes meth in their bathroom or 
 something like it's, it's a 

1017
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,880
look, it's a whole thing. 
 
So he tells us the county came 

1018
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,360
with a search warrant and told 

him he had to pick up his 

1019
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:36,680
trucks. 
 
Pick them up. 

1020
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,600
So he says. 
 
So I picked him up. 

1021
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,642
When he does this, he gestures. 
 

1022
00:56:44,650 --> 00:56:48,882
How do we describe this honey? 
He flips the bird with both 
 

1023
00:56:48,890 --> 00:56:52,742
hands and as he's telling the 
story about what he does and 
 

1024
00:56:52,750 --> 00:56:57,620
that he did what the county said
and he put them up and he flips 

1025
00:56:57,620 --> 00:57:00,585
 off everybody, all of the 
children, the adults. 
 

1026
00:57:00,593 --> 00:57:04,342
When he's describing this, like 
picking them up or putting them 

1027
00:57:04,342 --> 00:57:07,624
 up, putting up the trucks, he 
does that gesture that you do 
 

1028
00:57:07,632 --> 00:57:09,103
when you're flicking someone 
off. 
 

1029
00:57:09,111 --> 00:57:12,852
More than just putting up like 
flipping the bird, he's like 
 

1030
00:57:12,860 --> 00:57:16,396
taking his hand and putting it 
into his elbow and shoving his 


1031
00:57:16,404 --> 00:57:18,349
arm up and doing the whole crazy
gesture. 
 

1032
00:57:18,357 --> 00:57:21,304
I'm pretty sure that's like a 
British thing like that. 
 

1033
00:57:21,312 --> 00:57:24,515
Super offensive like over in the
UK. 
 

1034
00:57:24,523 --> 00:57:28,540
Too If it's British but it's 
like a it's more than just 
 

1035
00:57:28,548 --> 00:57:30,012
flipping the bird with your 
hand. 
 

1036
00:57:30,020 --> 00:57:34,820
It's like middle finger up in 
the air, hand in elbow, blah 
 

1037
00:57:34,828 --> 00:57:37,636
blah blah. 
It's this big dramatic gesture. 

1038
00:57:37,636 --> 00:57:38,880
 
Hand in your ditch. 

1039
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,680
Hand in the ditch. 
 
Of your elbow, that's what they 

1040
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,040
call it when you get tattooed 
 
there. 

1041
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,040
The ditch. 
 
The ditch, the ditch, and then 

1042
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,480
there's the truck in the ditch 

and his hands in the ditch. 

1043
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,080
And they blur out his middle 
 
finger in his hand because of 

1044
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,600
course it's obscene. 
 
And so he does this gesture when

1045
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,560
telling this story to the whole 
 family. 

1046
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,040
Like it's a little out of 
 
nowhere. 

1047
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,800
It's unexpected, and it looks 
 
crazy. 

1048
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,400
It looks insane. 
 
But the children don't react as 

1049
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:09,920
horribly as I would have 
 
expected because they they go on

1050
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:14,280
and on about Logan swearing in 

multiple episodes now and then 

1051
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,840
you've got this guy like 
 
flipping the bird, but not even 

1052
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,920
just like flipping the bird. 
 
He's doing like the arm and hand

1053
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,760
movement with it. 
 
That's like super meant to be 

1054
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,400
more aggressive and more 
 
offensive than just solo birds 

1055
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,800
and the children have a little 

bit of a non reaction. 

1056
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,880
Yeah, it's like they're just 
 
telling the story. 

1057
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,080
Of course, TLC, what they're 
 
blurring does make it even more 

1058
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:41,200
dramatic, I think. 
 
But, you know, Ron continues 

1059
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,680
with his story. 
 
They tried to bring public 

1060
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:48,040
nuisance charges in court and I 
 said, your honor, they told me 

1061
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,520
to put him up, so I picked him 

off. 

1062
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:55,200
So I put him up. 
 
It's like, oh God. 

1063
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,120
And then he does the arm 
 
gestures again as if he was in 

1064
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:02,440
court, giving the middle finger 
 and gesturing to the judge. 

1065
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,640
Literally every time that he 
 
says put him up, he flips the 

1066
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:10,736
bird and flips off the children 
 and the dogs and the parents 

1067
00:59:10,736 --> 00:59:16,480
and every other bug and bird and

 everything in the area. 

1068
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:21,680
It's like, Oh no, so offensive, 
 as Christine points out. 

1069
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,720
Yes, very offensive. 
 
So then there's a photo 

1070
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,920
opportunity for Aspen to stand 

next to Ron Lessman, and on the 

1071
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:32,360
other side is Maddie and Tara, 

Robyn's sister. 

1072
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,680
They're standing in a row and 
 
they're all flipping off the 

1073
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,200
camera, laughing. 
 
And Christine goes, are darling 

1074
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,240
teenagers. 
 
Darling teenagers. 

1075
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,720
Kody takes this moment to look 

at the camera and say, I had no 

1076
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:50,760
idea I was raising a bunch of 
 
hippies while giving a peace 

1077
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,680
sign. 
 
And it's like, yeah, that's. 

1078
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,800
What the hippies do. 
 
I guess the hippies just flip 

1079
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,040
off cameras. 
 
I don't know, just Kody. 

1080
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,800
He's just an idiot. 
 
The best part of this scene for 

1081
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:10,320
me is that Truly on like the 
 
side of the camera, like on the 

1082
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:15,240
left side is like chasing the 
 
dog and trying to grab the dog's

1083
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,560
tail repeatedly. 
 
And you got like bald truly and 

1084
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,360
she's tall at this point. 
 
Like you got tall little bald 

1085
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,600
truly and she's like trying to 

catch the dog's tail. 

1086
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,920
And it's one of the cutest, like

 stupidest things ever. 

1087
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,280
And I just couldn't not look at 
 it. 

1088
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,600
It was fucking adorable but also

 hilarious. 

1089
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,280
That is funny. 
 
She's just so cute. 

1090
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:44,760
And so we go back to the couch 

and Kody is talking about this 

1091
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,960
and he found him super 
 
entertaining and he just loves 

1092
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:55,280
farmer style hoarding. 
 
And Christine is offended, 

1093
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:59,800
Offended she didn't like him. 
 
She's like, is this real? 

1094
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,880
Really? 
 
No, no, no. 

1095
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,280
Yeah, Well, this is going on. 
 
The families, like, exploring 

1096
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,160
the truck are like, they're 
 
going around and taking photos 

1097
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,720
in front of the, like, various 

vehicles that are sticking out 

1098
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,400
of the ground and kind of like 

taking their little roads, like 

1099
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,880
pit stop, blah, blah, blah. 
 
And Christine is talking about 

1100
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,000
how he lives in the middle of 
 
nowhere and he hates the 

1101
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,840
government. 
 
Kody just thinks that this is so

1102
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,000
funny. 
 
And Kody goes, well, they told 

1103
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,560
him to put him up. 
 
So he put him up. 

1104
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,080
And then Kody flips the camera 

off on the couch and then 

1105
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:34,280
Christine goes, Oh my God, you 

just did it again. 

1106
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,960
You just flipped people off. 
 
Yes, yes. 

1107
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,440
So. 
 
Funny, she's like offended on 

1108
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,720
the behalf of the audience of 
 
all the TLC fans that are 

1109
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,600
watching. 
 
Like you flipped them off. 

1110
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,360
And it's like we're on a 
 
soundstage. 

1111
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,800
Oh no. 
 
Yeah, and we get some more, you 

1112
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,120
know, details about Ron's 
 
feelings and Ron's beliefs. 

1113
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,440
And he says something along the 
 lines, if you want to have five

1114
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:04,200
wives, it's the American way. 
 
Like OK, do what you. 

1115
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:05,920
Want. 
 
Nobody should care. 

1116
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:07,320
You should be able to do what 
 
you want. 

1117
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,600
That's the American way. 
 
That's the American way. 

1118
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,560
It's like, all right. 
 
But he is telling the kids this,

1119
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,600
like as he's saying this in the 
 clip that they show, he's kind 

1120
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,440
of walking with a few of the 
 
boys, like not the young, young 

1121
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,040
boys, but like the medium age 
 
boys. 

1122
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,120
And he's like telling them, I 
 
just think that you should be 

1123
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,280
able to do what you want. 
 
That's America. 

1124
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:33,246
And so in a way, I do think that

 his message is pertinent to 

1125
01:02:33,246 --> 01:02:36,120
the family. 
 
Like, yes, he's doing this crazy

1126
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,280
thing and Christine's like, is 

this real? 

1127
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,470
He's really acting this way with

 the government and the this 

1128
01:02:42,470 --> 01:02:45,120
and the that. 
 
But it's like you are too, lady.

1129
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,120
Like you are flipping off the 
 
government in your own way 

1130
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:52,044
because they don't believe that 
 plural marriage is recognized 

1131
01:02:52,044 --> 01:02:54,482
in the law of the United States.

 

1132
01:02:54,490 --> 01:02:59,026
So like you're giving a bird. 
This guy's giving a bird kind of

1133
01:02:59,026 --> 01:03:01,240

 all evens out, don't you 
think? 

1134
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,040
I do. 
 
The thing that stood out to me 

1135
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,720
about his example is like, if 
 
you want to have five wives, 

1136
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,200
it's the American way. 
 
And it's like Kody has four 

1137
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,520
wives. 
 
Yeah, like this guy is like high

1138
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,600
off the grass growing underneath

 his truck. 

1139
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,440
Seriously, he's his message. 
 
Yes, the root of it might be 

1140
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,320
good, but Oh my gosh, it's a 
 
little Cray Cray. 

1141
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:25,280
Yeah, he is smoking. 
 
What is growing inside of the 

1142
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,320
perfect, perfect greenhouse, 
 
which is one of those trucks 

1143
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,680
swooped upside down, the devil's

 lettuce. 

1144
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,360
Oh God, under one of those 
 
trucks and just this man, I I'm 

1145
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,960
just, he's probably in heaven 
 
out in truck hedge. 

1146
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:44,720
And yes, his triage, yes, Kody 

says that the kids were 

1147
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,080
entertained like you're saying, 
 and he was entertained and it 

1148
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,680
sounds like a much needed 
 
breather from the driving. 

1149
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:54,280
Yeah, and then they cut out to 

the kids spray painting graffiti

1150
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:58,240
on one of the trucks, like he's 
 allowing them to all graffiti 

1151
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,680
the trucks before they leave. 
 
It's art, honey. 

1152
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,680
It's art to him. 
 
It sure is. 

1153
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,480
Then the Browns hit the road 
 
again. 

1154
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,880
And then they get into the Pony 
 Express RV Park. 

1155
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:13,120
Very late Pony Express Shout out

 to the Pony Express RV park. 

1156
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,560
Are they still open? 
 
Let us know. 

1157
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:17,200
Yeah. 
 
Are you around? 

1158
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,960
Can we stop in with? 
 
The brown curse after we hitting

1159
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:26,040
the Pony Express RV park. 
 
Yes, Kody looks absolutely 

1160
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,480
exhausted. 
 
Robyn tells us that the hotel is

1161
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,480
12 miles away. 
 
And then Kody's upset because he

1162
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,280
didn't know this. 
 
We didn't know that he would 

1163
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,080
have to like drop everyone off 

and do all these things and then

1164
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,520
go to the hotel that's 12 miles 
 away. 

1165
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,680
It seems like not a big deal, 
 
but also I guess after the end 

1166
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,909
of a long day you don't want to 
 drive 12 miles and then 

1167
01:04:44,909 --> 01:04:47,360
probably drive back so. 
 
Well, it looks like he's being 

1168
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,800
made to set up some stuff with 

the RV before he leaves, and 

1169
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:55,360
he's probably on the rotation to

 go to the hotel, yes. 

1170
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,880
So he's like pissed because he's

 setting up stuff at the 

1171
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,640
campsite and then he goes, I'll 
be going 
 to bed at one or two.

1172
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:06,600
AM again tonight or Kody? 
 
And so Kody approaches the RV 

1173
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,840
with Meri in the passenger seat 
 and opens the door. 

1174
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,400
And Kody says, I don't plan on 

leaving here early tomorrow 

1175
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,960
because I'm done. 
 
And Meri goes, I don't think you

1176
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,080
need to be barking at me about 

it, OK? 

1177
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:27,120
You're going at it again. 
 
So bad, I'm ready to stop 

1178
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,120
camping. 
 
And we haven't even gotten there

1179
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,880
yet. 
 
It's like, yeah, OK, You're 

1180
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,720
referring to it as camping 
 
again, which I guess maybe some 

1181
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,680
people are camping, but 
 
everyone's tired and frustrated.

1182
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,360
Yeah, like they're all tired and

 frustrated. 

1183
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:40,910
They're all on the same journey.

 

1184
01:05:40,918 --> 01:05:44,100
Well, Christine even says like 
Kody, you're the only one 
 

1185
01:05:44,108 --> 01:05:46,360
complaining. 
They have to have another adult 

1186
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,118
 meeting, of course, where Kody 
says he needs more sleep at 
 

1187
01:05:50,126 --> 01:05:53,984
night and Christine goes, good 
call, we need to fix it from 
 

1188
01:05:53,992 --> 01:05:57,685
here on out. 
And Meri says, we say that every

1189
01:05:57,685 --> 01:05:59,600

 night and nothing ever 
changes. 

1190
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:04,080
And I'm like, yes, Meri, I am So

 Team Meri on this episode, 

1191
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,320
everyone wants to talk about 
 
things being different. 

1192
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,480
No one wants to talk about how 

to make them different. 

1193
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,680
Like fucking shut up. 
 
Like if I was Meri, I'd be like,

1194
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,560
Yep, everyone says that every 
 
night and nothing ever changes. 

1195
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,000
So true, Meri. 
 
And then Kody suggests that they

1196
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,320
have planned too much. 
 
Oh boy. 

1197
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:23,680
And. 
 
Christine responds by saying 

1198
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,720
they've basically planned to do 
 nothing but drive. 

1199
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,800
Which is totally true. 
 
They went to Truck Henge and 

1200
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:35,040
they have been driving non-stop 
 and they're pony. 

1201
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:35,640
Stop. 
 
Pony. 

1202
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,640
Express pawn shop. 
 
Pawn shop in Utah, The Pony 

1203
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,480
Express. 
 
They're going pee every now and 

1204
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,920
then for an hour at a time. 
 
They literally have planned 

1205
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,640
very, very little and Kody is 
 
suggesting they plan too much. 

1206
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,360
What a shock. 
 
And Kody says, well, I can't go 

1207
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,000
every single night with four 
 
hours of sleep. 

1208
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,400
And Christine's like, well, 
 
Kody, you're the only one 

1209
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,440
complaining. 
 
We're all trying to make it 

1210
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,360
work. 
 
And I'm just like, what's the 

1211
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:06,440
fucking rush? 
 
Why is this the way that it is? 

1212
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:10,080
You know, unless it's for like 

filming and production and there

1213
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,680
is like no budget to do this 
 
longer. 

1214
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:17,880
If this is summer break, which 

they're making it seem like, why

1215
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,680
does this have to be a seven day

 trip? 

1216
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:24,880
Why is there three days of 
 
travel one way, one day at your 

1217
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,920
destination, which is, Oh my 
 
God, we're going back to our 

1218
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,840
homeland? 
 
Our Jerusalem. 

1219
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:35,720
Our Jerusalem. 
 
And you're planning it and like 

1220
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,920
making this trip so quick and 
 
now you're all arguing and 

1221
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,080
you're fighting. 
 
Like what is the rush? 

1222
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,400
What's the rush? 
 
I don't get it. 

1223
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,040
This is where Kody gathers 
 
everyone for a prayer. 

1224
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,320
Darling, speak to God. 
 
Kody. 

1225
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:53,040
Kody. 
 
Kody calls a prayer circle. 

1226
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:57,320
Kody And he points out to us 
 
that when he's getting close to 

1227
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:01,600
losing his temper, it's a good 

thing to call on God so you 

1228
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,360
don't hurt other people's 
 
feelings calling on God. 

1229
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:09,240
He's calling on God to help him 
 maintain his peaceful 

1230
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:14,320
disposition. 
 
Yes, yeah, because Kody has such

1231
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,880
a peaceful disposition and he 
 
gives us some more, you know, 

1232
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,880
therapy speak, but whatever. 
 
It's like in a family like ours,

1233
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,720
it's important to keep things 
 
emotionally safe. 

1234
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:29,200
And I'm far from good at this, 

but I'm trying. 

1235
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,640
And Meri is on the couch tearing

 up. 

1236
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,399
Odd. 
 
She's like trying not to cry. 

1237
01:08:36,399 --> 01:08:41,080
Is it, do you think, because 
 
she's like aware that everyone 

1238
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,880
was frustrated and it was 
 
terrible, or is she moved that 

1239
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,120
he's like talking about calling 
 on God? 

1240
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,600
I think that this is one of 
 
those moments where there's more

1241
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,840
going on behind the scenes than 
 we know about. 

1242
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,279
And who knows when they're 
 
recording the actual couch 

1243
01:08:56,279 --> 01:09:00,080
interviews and the fact that 
 
he's talking about calling on 

1244
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,800
God. 
 
I don't know what she's 

1245
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,899
thinking, but she is tearing up.

 

1246
01:09:04,908 --> 01:09:08,224
And they show it probably on 
purpose to be like, oh, he's 
 

1247
01:09:08,232 --> 01:09:10,184
such a good family man. 
He's calling on God. 
 

1248
01:09:10,192 --> 01:09:12,977
He's calling his family around 
to pray right now to make it 
 

1249
01:09:12,984 --> 01:09:18,928
through this. 
Like, oh God, I just want to 
 

1250
01:09:18,935 --> 01:09:21,051
talk about how ridiculous that 
is. 
 

1251
01:09:21,060 --> 01:09:24,870
First of all, we're calling on 
the Lord baby Jesus to get us 
 

1252
01:09:24,877 --> 01:09:28,207
through this road trip that we 
planned that we're rushing 
 

1253
01:09:28,216 --> 01:09:31,688
through. 
But also like his wife is 
 

1254
01:09:31,696 --> 01:09:35,068
tearing up about it. 
I just, I can't with these 
 

1255
01:09:35,076 --> 01:09:36,064
people. 
I just can't. 
 

1256
01:09:36,072 --> 01:09:38,841
It's a little bizarre. 
I remember noting it or noticing

1257
01:09:38,841 --> 01:09:42,020

 it and not connecting the dots
on why it was so emotional. 
 

1258
01:09:42,029 --> 01:09:44,540
Because I don't think that there
is really technically a reason 


1259
01:09:44,548 --> 01:09:47,399
that's ever going to be 
presented to us other than the 


1260
01:09:47,408 --> 01:09:51,236
fact that like they're trying to
sell it as look at this family 


1261
01:09:51,243 --> 01:09:54,730
man and his wife just thinks 
he's so special. 
 

1262
01:09:54,738 --> 01:09:59,380
Well, he definitely is special, 
but not for reasons that they 
 

1263
01:09:59,388 --> 01:10:01,370
might be trying to make us 
think. 
 

1264
01:10:01,378 --> 01:10:06,228
So, darling, I feel like this is
a good time to take a break to 


1265
01:10:06,236 --> 01:10:07,700
gather our thoughts, our 
strengths. 
 

1266
01:10:07,708 --> 01:10:12,440
Maybe we could go call on God 
and ask Him for some favors and 

1267
01:10:12,440 --> 01:10:15,550
 some direction so we can 
recalibrate and come back next 


1268
01:10:15,558 --> 01:10:17,872
week with Part 2 of this 
fabulous episode. 
 

1269
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,588
We're going to start on Day 4 of
this road trip. 
 

1270
01:10:20,596 --> 01:10:23,396
Remember, they were going to be 
there in three days. 
 

1271
01:10:23,404 --> 01:10:27,842
Tomorrow we're starting Day 4 
for Part 2, 2 of this episode. 


1272
01:10:27,850 --> 01:10:31,440
I'm going to call on God and 
he's going to come in the form 


1273
01:10:31,448 --> 01:10:34,490
of a worm at the bottom of the 
bottle of tequila that we're 
 

1274
01:10:34,498 --> 01:10:35,789
about to open. 
Yes. 
 

1275
01:10:35,797 --> 01:10:38,928
I'll say a little prayer for 
you. 
 

1276
01:10:38,936 --> 01:10:41,200
See you next week.
