What does the nanny do? OK, so we're done.
Goodbye. You.
Shut it off. Do not twist my words.
Do not make me a victim, sweetie.
Just look at the mountain. That's what you.
Saw that day just the knife in the kidneys over all these years
and the sacrifices that I made to love you.
Last week on my sister wife's podcast, but just kidding, we're
not going to do that because we're not that kind of podcast.
I'm not going to take the time to actually do that because no,
no, no, no, no, that's not going to happen.
OK, play ethereal fairy music. Janelle, Kody and Logan are
going to visit UNLV. Yes.
University Las Vegas. University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
I'm just thinking university, UN.
Yeah, yeah. Las Vegas, right?
Yeah, Your way makes more sense.
We'll go with that. University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
They are going for their visit,
and Janelle says that the prejudice in Utah against
plagues is so bad that she doesn't really want Logan to go
there. Right, which is?
Outsiders. She's worried about his soul and
the fact that they haven't instilled religion on him
enough, right? And yet she just thinks that
they're two against plagues there and her and Kody kind of
get in a little bit of a discussion here about how he
says, well, at least he'd be with the Mormon religion there.
And then she's like, well, they're against the plagues.
So a little more back and forth about the religious aspect here
and the fight for Logan's soul and.
There's angels. The screaming and crying and
singing angels. Yeah, tug of war over Logan's
soul. They get to the campus and
they're walking around and Logan says that he's very surprised
by the beautiful campus. The beautiful campus there.
He thought that it was going to be dusty, raggedy tumbleweeds
drafting across the campus. I thought it was going to be
just like most of Las Vegas, yeah, kind of gritty.
Gritty, gross that over the loud speakers there'd be music
going. Warm, warm, warm interspice with
advertisements for escorts. Hey big boy, do you want to come
get some satisfaction tonight? Come and find a hooker downtown.
Yes.
We meet the lovely Kylie. Kylie is going to do the tour
and back. Golly is Kylie pretty.
She's so pretty. She's so pretty.
According to Janelle, no one else says this, but Janelle
does. Yeah, and she makes the comment
more than one time and I had to say out loud because she says
that she's a junior. And I'm like, yeah, because this
like 21 year old girl wants to like hook up with your 17 year
old, like maybe newly 18 year old freshman son.
Like, because she hints it like, oh, he probably was loving the
tour because she was so pretty.
It helps that she was pretty. Fuck off.
Fuck off, Janelle. Let's not trivialize the fact
that she is probably very educated.
She says if I were trying to sell my school to people, I
would put a pretty face forward. But also she does say she would
put like the most educated, well spoken people out.
And so Kylie fits the bill, but she has to harken it back to the
fact that she's beautiful. So Logan's paying attention to
her. It's like, Oh my gosh, quit with
the objectification and that your son and the pretty girl and
that. Must have had an impact on Logan
because she's so pretty. Like, okay.
She's giving your son a tour like she has given thousands of
kids tours this like, yeah, spring, whatever.
And she doesn't know how big the tits were on the girl at UCC or
NL Poo Poo or whatever that other school was that they went
to visit up in Utah. No fucking idea.
How dare her. That girl was hot to try.
Oh my gosh. Whatever her name was, I love
these characters. I'm like, I never know their
names. I'm like, what was her name
again? I.
Did write her name down. And I thought, so they in the
very beginning of the episode, they show clips of him at both
campuses. And they show a clip of, you
know, Janelle saying, oh, and she it's really pretty.
And I'm sure that that helps. And then when they showed us
Sydney from the other school, I was like, oh, OK.
Consider the source and what these standards are.
Plague standards, yeah. So she was.
Pretty for a plague mystery. Yeah.
So then when they showed us Kylie, I was like, oh, OK, yeah,
I'm not saying the other girl wasn't pretty.
No, Sydney. Was.
Gorgeous. She was beautiful.
Surprised. Drop dead.
Gorgeous doll, and just gorgeous.
Yeah, no loose stools on that one.
Nope, Nope, Nope. Not even a sausage curl.
Not a sausage curl to be a found on that head, No.
I have a note here that the cameraman is bouncing along.
Oh geez. The tour is happening and the
camera man is in front of them and we got like boing giddy,
boing giddy, boing giddy boing giddy, boing giddy.
He's like no stabilizers in this equipment because we cannot
afford it on this production like.
OK, why couldn't you at least have one of those ones that like
a well, I'm sure he does have the one that attaches to the
hips and is like in front of you.
Yeah, I'm just so probably not a stabilizer.
Like no, you're literally on him bouncing like Oh my.
God, it was bad. It was kind of like nauseating.
And I'm like, OK, you don't need
to show them, like walking this entire time.
We got it. Yeah, there was a lot of
walking. I'm going to need some Dramamine
here and getting a little nauseous.
So it's not the sushi this time around, Sir, it's the bad
camera bouncing angles. Looks so good.
Logan shares an example about how he tried to get to know a
girl once he was interested in someone.
He said hello my name is Logan.
How to meet how to meet you pleasure to meet you.
But she shield away after finding out he's from a
polygamist family and he's like, well, broke my heart, broke my
heart, cried for years. You seem to get over pretty
quickly. But that is the thing.
I mean, it would be interesting to bring up your family, your
background and have someone be like, oh, all of a sudden now my
interest is waned. Yeah, they backed off.
Yeah, backing off from that they.
Backed off I. Don't know, there's like some
weird lines with that stuff. I know like where it's like you
learn things about people and then that's a reason to not want
to further build a relationship with.
That like they're allowed to do that.
And the polygamist family thing, yeah, OK, I don't know.
I probably wouldn't make that call.
But I've also never been approached by a polygamist being
like, hi, Chris. I really fill up those pants
quite well because I don't fill up pants quite well.
I beg to differ, but. Logan also talks about how he
does want to get out of the house and he's warming up to the
idea of UNLV and staying local but just not living at their
house. Like he wants some separation.
Obviously he's an adult, he's becoming an adult, etcetera.
And he also talks about the benefits of diversity and the
population of Vegas and how that could be a good thing for his
post secondary education and his life as a young adult.
I did make that sound a little bit more eloquent than he did,
which is at first, as he was talking about it, I was like, oh
God. The nice thing is what he's
trying to say is this benefits of diversity, blah, blah, blah.
He didn't say that, but that's
what he was trying to say. He said that he's anxious to get
out of Vegas, but he likes this campus and there's more
students, so there's probably going to be more activities and
more to do. And it's less rural.
And he's. Yeah, he's like Hemming and
hawing about the pluses. Venn diagram, Yeah.
Pros, cons, Venn diagram meet in the middle.
He's confused. He brings up the fact that
there's going to be more students here and there's going
to be more opportunities to do different things.
And, yeah, more diversity. But he says it in a way that is
kind of negative towards UNLV. Like, there's probably going to
be less studying there. Like, people probably don't
focus on their classes as much, right?
And it's almost this, like, throwaway comment.
Like, do you really believe that?
Like, do you really believe that there's going to be less
buckling down here than there would be at the school in Utah?
Because from what you guys said in the Q&A the last episode,
it's quite the opposite. You said that people just hide
it more in Utah and here it's just out in the open.
So here you would think that you can find a friend group more
easily that fits your lifestyle and the choices that you want
to make. Because people aren't going to
hide it. Where in Utah you might make
friends with a group and then you find out that one of them is
like shooting up in the bathroom.
Like, you don't know they're hiding that shit there.
At least here you'd find him in the bathroom and be like, I
guess I don't want to be your friend.
Right, right. I don't know, kind of a kind of
just what would you say? What would that word be?
What would the word be? I don't know what the word would
be. Kate Moss.
Kate Moss.
No, he kind of like. Yeah, it's it's easier to find
the friends who are going to be, you know, OD ING on heroin in
Vegas and then you can avoid them.
So, I mean, I shouldn't say friends.
Oh, God, this is this is that's all wrong.
Stricken from the record yeah, he's well he's Hemming in high
this is the thing, he's going back and forth he's being
prodded by production to talk about what he's thinking he's a
17 or 18 year old male so this is what's happening he's.
Contradicting himself. That's literally what I was
trying to. Why couldn't I think of the word
contradiction? Well, honey, it's a big word,
darling. It's so such a big can.
You imagine Robyn trying to say contradiction.
Contra contradiction. She would not be able to.
She'd be missing a couple syllables.
It be like contradiction like. Contradiction.
Not right. He says that he's confused, and
then Kody says that in the car on the way home, he flat out
asked him where he should go. Yes, well Janelle and Kody are
on the couch talking about this and Logan did ask them what he
should do and they both tell him that it's his decision.
Kody says I'll put what I think is necessary pressure, but
ultimately it's his decision. And I'm like, Oh my God, the
necessary pressure. It's totally the dad vibes of
the like, well, we want you to do what we want you to do, but
I'm not going to tell you. I'm just going to talk up the
things I want you to do and then force that a little bit.
But not really. It's your decision, he says.
Just like every other parent, which, you know, I don't know.
Most parents, I don't want their kids to do what they want them
to do. So you know.
He uses the word push again here.
He's a pusher. He's a pusher, he.
Says that he will push his children towards his beliefs,
but in the end they need to choose.
So he's going to push them. He's going to strongly suggest
that they do these things, but whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
In the end, you get to decide for yourself.
Yes, I'm a pusher. I'm a pusher.
I'm Kody the pusher. I'm going to push you.
And now we cut to the parents meeting Mona at the potential
future properties. Mona, real estate agent to the
polygamists in Las Vegas. That was a great song.
So they're going to give earnest money for the properties after
their big vote, Who are? Meri reluctantly agreed.
After Christine reluctantly agreed.
They're going to move forward with this plan.
Can they afford it? No.
Has Janelle pointed out they can't afford it?
Yes, but Kody says you can't afford it unless you delude
yourself into thinking you can.
So that's what we're going to do.
Manifestation. Manifesting.
He's manifesting his future. He would literally never use
that word here. Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's God's divine plan for us to
move into this hole. He.
Would say he spoke to God and God told him do it, you can't
afford it, it's a bad decision, do it.
They tell us again that putting down this earnest money means
that the homes will be held for 30 days and it starts the clock.
30 days clock is ticking. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
Now they need to get financing
within 30 days. So I wonder if that's going to
be at the beginning of next season.
No way to tell. It's discussed that they will be
writing checks that very day for their properties.
And so the wives discuss which properties they should have
because they literally need to decide who's going to have what
lot. And it's kind of funny I I don't
know how much they've talked about it before getting there.
You would assume they have. You would feel like they would
have had to have discussed this.
Yeah. So it's, it's a little hard for
me to gauge how much they knew because it is almost like
they're discussing certain things like, well, now that
we're here, we can finally talk about it, which is interesting.
Like we had to save this for the
cameras. We haven't talked about this
yet, right? Or we're.
Reenacting the entire thing, which it's like, I can't give
this family that much credit, so I'm going to assume they
haven't talked about it or when they talked about it, they
talked about it like idiots. That makes more sense.
They didn't know anything. Yeah.
Christine talks about how she would love a view of the city at
night, all those beautiful Las Vegas lights.
Robyn wants a lot with shade in the PM because she's going to
have grass in the yard. And Janelle says yes.
I mean, you know, we're hanging out in the evening in your yard
with the grass. Would be great to be in the
shade. So consensus given.
Because apparently we all hang out in Robyn's yard so much
already that she needs the big yard with the shade so that we
can all continue hanging out in Robyn's yard together.
A. Duh.
Isn't that interesting? And what does Janelle want?
Well, Janelle's easygoing as usual.
She doesn't care. She doesn't care.
So there's that. Love that.
But Janelle is the one that's like, we can't afford this.
And then they're like, which one do you want?
She's like whichever. Ones left what I get yeah.
And I won't have a fat she's my mom always told me she's like I
just need it. Like $2.00 crappy shelf from
Walmart to hang crooked to put my little lump of coal on.
She's got her lump of coal still and I was like, I just need a
place to put my lump of coal. And I'm going to bring this lump
of coal over the Robyns. We're going to have a fire in
the backyard. Beautiful.
All of a sudden I am Irish. Yes, top of the morning, top of
the morning to Janelle with a lump, a call that was.
That lump a call to you, darling.
Good morning. My God, I, I apologize for doing
any form of any accent that was just wrong.
It was, it wasn't even good. It's like I didn't even start
with one and then I ended with one.
It was just terrible. That happens.
Now Meri says that Leon would like a bedroom without a window
that has sun beating in on it all day.
So a lot of these directions are about directions are about,
you know, where's the sun going to set?
What am I looking at? The front of the house versus
the back of the house. And at least they can figure
this out while on the cul-de-sac.
They do come to a consensus that Christine is going to have Lot
9. This matters nothing to the
people listening at home because you can't see anything.
Robyn wants Lot 6, Meri wants Lot 7, and Janelle is going to
settle for Lot 8. So that's important information
to know. Yeah, and they give us a little
diagram of the layout of the homes and the cul-de-sac in
between them. Like a popsicle.
A popsicle? Like a little popsicle.
There's a popsicle. You're right.
A lollipop. Popsicles like long and phallic,
Yes. It's like we have the
cul-de-sac, the dead end, and then the four lots at the end,
you know? What I meant at least, yes, we
got the blow pop in the middle and we got the homes all around
it. And they show us this little
diagram and they put the numbers and they put the wife's names
there instead. It's so special.
Very special. The graphics are cutting edge.
And here is the big deal. They all have to write their own
check. Each wife is going to write
their own check for their own earnest money out of their own
checkbook, and they make that very clear.
And then Kody has to be a dumbass and say it's like I'm
writing four checks. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.
Yuck Yeah, Kody. OK, you get it.
Meanwhile, in Christine's book, we find out that the money was
pooled, so they're literally each just having their own
checkbook that goes to their own joint account.
I still don't understand the finances of this family and.
It no, and we will not know for a long time.
It's interesting because it's like, yeah, where would Robyn
have the money for earnest money?
Like it's just not true. It's it's family money.
It's family. Money, It's family money.
And we've said many Times Now that they would have been fools
not to come up with an LLC and he should be splitting their
income equally from the show. And we find out from Christine's
book again, that they were not doing that and that she had no
idea how much money was really coming in.
And Janelle opened her eyes and was like, Oh, yeah, like that
money that's that's gone, or that money like the yeah, that's
when going here. And Christine's just got her
head in the clouds with the Angel singing to her and doesn't
understand what's going on with the money.
And I don't understand what's going on and I don't think they
do. Yeah, Kody likes it that way.
Yep, Christine does say that it's priceless that the children
will all have adjoining backyards.
Oh, and it's so sweet. And how do we join these yards
together? How does Kody signify the
joining of these four lots? Bye by running a lap around the
outer perimeter of all four lots and connecting them, and it's
connecting their homes. And it signifies to him he just
couldn't control his energy and he had to get it out.
This is planting roots into our freedom.
OK, planting roots into your freedom.
As he's running around the perimeter of the lots, they have
this emotional music playing. I'm going to put emotions in
quotes. I'm such a sucker for some
emotional music. If you put something with some
sad music in the background, I'm probably going to get teary
eyed just because the music's playing.
Like it's tragic. That did not happen for me in
this situation. I was like.
It. Was so awkward.
Moron idiot. Watching this I was like what am
I doing with my life? What are my choices?
Each woman goes and stands in her lot.
Yeah, stands. Kody runs around the outside and
they have to stand there and watch him and who knows how long
this actually takes him. It looks like they slow it down
for the cameras and he's got his purple shirt on and his boot
cut jeans and he's running around and it's like hair
floating back behind his head. Yeah, Kody, get me all wet.
And the Wise are just standing in their lots, watching him
connect their lots with this symbolism.
It's a beautiful thing. The husband has to be the one to
do it. He's connecting them all.
He is. With his manhood, yeah.
Roots planted in that freedom. Is Popsicle Lollipop.
Is Popsicle Lollipop connecting those women?
There was a point where you you joked.
You kind of giggled about him stumbling a bit or like a.
Little It was like, what if he came off the curb and just bit?
Bit. Because the the where they had
the curb, right, there's just dirt after it.
And he came running down over the like pre made curb onto the
street. And I was just like sitting here
with my evil little fingers tapping together like please
trip, please trip. Face planting please.
Skin a knee. Unfortunately, he didn't fall
and he didn't injure himself and we were all disappointed.
He. Did not skin a knee, God damn
it. God damn it.
Much to my chagrin. I cannot believe you said his
manhood is what's connecting these women.
Oh my God, it's so true. Oh.
God. Done with that scene.
Moving on. Kody says I've gone 5 days
without seeing a wife in Vegas and I'm going why?
What are you doing that you have gone 5 days now?
Once again, does he say when I go on my trips I don't get to
see my family for five days? No, he says I'm in Vegas and I
have gone 5 days without seeing a wife and I'm like, this just
doesn't make any sense. I mean, obviously he's avoiding
them. He's spending all of his time
with Robyn. He's a monogamist with fake
polygamist wives. I guess he randomly pops in well
as Christine has talked about to get dinner and fall asleep,
take a shit in the morning and leave.
Like, cool. Thanks, Dad.
Christine screaming down the void.
He's over here and nobody's believing her.
Fred Robbins. Hello.
I can see his car and they're like, well, no, I saw him five
days ago. Like my gaslighting family?
Yeah. One of the things Kody says when
he was running around the properties, that just really
touched me. Yeah, you felt it in your
cockles. I haven't been touched in this
place for a very long time, but Kody touched me there, he said.
I was just getting my stink on
it. Oh, I missed this.
I was just getting my stink on it, running around the
properties. He went from roots being planted
in his freedom to putting his stink on it.
And I'm like, why do you say these things?
Well, no, at first, you know, obviously I orgasmed because he
was touching me in such a way. But then after that I had that
post nut clarity and I was like, this is disgusting.
What is happening? It's like when you're looking at
porn, you're like, I got to shut this off.
What is wrong? With me and you're like that was
wrong. Well, that was like, oh, that's
not me. And that's how it's like with
Kody, just watching him on the TV.
Oh gosh, well, we did find out when him and Meri were in at QR
that he has a sweaty ass. So, you know, maybe he's
dropping some of that swast as he's running around the
backyard. Why did you have to bring up his
wet butt? Wrong on so many levels.
This is so great because this next scene we're told everyone's
gathering for Garrison's birthday.
Oh, isn't that sweet? Garrison your special day.
Garrison's special day, you only get one a year.
It's your birthday. And the families coming
together, they do celebrate birthdays.
They love a milestone. They love a reason to fill a
landfill with some trash and to celebrate.
So they're here to celebrate Garrison.
Now, listeners, remember this, we're here to celebrate
Garrison's birthday. But are we?
Because Logan is probably going
to announce the school that he's chosen.
Right, the parents are expecting an update from little Logan.
Well, now he's Big Logan on Garrison's birthday.
We're all gathering for Garrison's birthday Now.
One thing that I thought was a little cute, I have to admit.
See, this is it. I do have a heart and a soul
inside of this beautiful body. That was so Blanche Devereaux.
They bought a bunch of UNLV shirts and like decorate A
couture MA accessories, hats blah blah blah that I'll say
UNLV and they are trying to show their what their desires for
him to stay local and to go to UNLV.
Yep, Christine and Kody and the kids that want him to stay local
are all going to put on the shirts.
So they are. They're passing out the shirt.
They're passing out, the shirt says Logan's getting ready to
come down to Garrison's birthday.
Yep. And they cut to Logan arriving,
coming down and seeing everybody and all the
excitement, all the excitement.
And then all of a sudden all the children are chanting you and
LV, You and LV. They are, they're chanting it,
just going on and on and on. In his face in this kitchen,
this kitchen is not big, so there's like 100 children in
this small kitchen they've. Cornered.
Chanting, chanting you and ALDI in his face.
And I was like, Oh my God. Overwhelmed.
And then, you know when camera cuts to the right and there's
Maddie eating a piece of cake because once again, we're at
Garrison's birthday. Please don't forget we're at
Garrison's birthday. She's eating some cake and she's
just like, shut up. Shut up.
So good. But also, yeah, shut up.
Like way to pressure him. Have his little siblings put on
the shirts. He might have, who knows?
He could have come down those stairs being like, I'm going to
Utah, fuck this, I'm going to Utah.
And then he got down there and that happened.
And he was maybe like, God damn it, they need me too much.
And he could have changed his mind.
I'm not saying that's what happened.
I know you're right. That is a potential.
But let's not influence him. Yeah, it seemed more, you know,
the the intention seemed more playful and but yeah, I was just
more disturbed by the children yelling in his face in the
kitchen. I was like, give the man a
fucking inch. I was more disturbed by the fact
that the parents used the children to manipulate him.
Possibly. Yeah, see, that's low for the
brown manipulation, right? Like this.
This ones a this ones a low hanging fruit, Kody says before
Logan's big announcement. I have an announcement myself.
I'm going to announce that we put down earnest money on the
houses. Once again, everyone, just
friendly reminder it's Garrison's birthday party, OK?
And yeah, we're gonna announce this again to the children, and
we're gonna one up not one son, but two sons.
Yes, announcements, right? Well, or yeah, special moments.
Special moments, yes. So Kody stands up and announces
that they put down earnest money on the homes, on the
properties, on their future dwellings.
And he's wearing a UNLV shirt. And this is when I noticed it
said Rebels. And I went, oh, because my
puppy, my little dog, his name was Rebel.
And I'm like, oh, Rebels, It's so cute.
And I said Kimber, oh, UNLV Rebels.
And you said? The logo or the mascot looks
like a nut sack with a giant hat on.
It literally looked like a ball sack with a hat on.
Yeah, some balls wearing a hat. It took a while for me to figure
out that it was a scrunched up old man's face with a butt chin
and a giant mustache with a hat on and it literally looked like
a nut sack with a hat on. We're.
Going to have to find a photo of this mascot because it's hard to
even describe. Like how an old man in a hat
could look like a ball. Sack.
It looks like a ball sack with a hat.
Yeah, it did look like a ball sack with a hat.
It was funny and I was like, oh, way to crush my touching moment
about my previous dog home. But.
What's really funny about him wearing this ball sack hat
wearing T-shirt is that he is dead serious, announcing
something that he expects the children to be happy about and
he gets crickets. Crickets.
The kids are not excited and Kody says I shouldn't have to
sell a gift to them. There's a cutaway to Hunter, and
Hunter says, well, I want the real possible likelihood.
Like, I want to actually know what the chances are that this
is going to happen because that's where Meri tells the
camera they're just looking for what will really happen.
Like, there's like this awareness that comes out of this
exchange. So Kody makes the announcement.
He's met with like.
OK. All right.
Yeah, there's this moment with Hunter where he says he wants
the real possible likelihood, and Meri tells the camera
they're just looking for what will really happen.
Maddie points out that they always say that things are going
to happen and then they don't. Yeah, Maddie's like you always
say stuff that doesn't happen. And they show Kody on the couch
talking about how he doesn't feel like he should have to sell
some good news to his kids, and he's all offended.
And if Meri stands up for them.
We have had some expectations that have gotten lowered because
of things that have happened in the past.
You know, things come up. It's a large family.
We've made promises we haven't been able to keep.
And at least she's being honest with herself because, my God,
the way they get these kids hopes up and then dash them time
and time again. Yeah, how can you expect your
children to be excited? And it is sad because even the
little kids aren't excited. The little kids don't even have
a good reaction. To their very non reactive to
this news. To be fair, they did already
tell them that they were interested in getting these
properties or trying to. I mean I feel like there is the
whole notion of being disappointed chronically by your
parents. That's an element.
Even if you don't have that, which I have some of that in my
life, there's like, OK, like, yeah.
So it's just like, it sounds almost like an administrative
step, like, OK, sounds good. So you put down some money on
the House that you already told us that you were getting.
So like. Like they don't understand the
process, so they're like, well, wasn't this already happening
maybe? Yeah, an element of that, I
think. Yeah, so the younger kids are
probably not super excited because they don't understand
what's going on. And then the older kids aren't
excited because even though they know that this is a step towards
maybe actualizing something for once, they still don't and
have the capacity to believe it, right?
Yeah, and they wouldn't. How would you trail of broken
dreams, man man. So.
So sad. So, as Garrison's birthday
continues, Garrison. 'S birthday continues on.
Garrison's birthday party continues and now we get an
announcement from Logan Darling. What does Logan have to tell the
family? Logan intends to get out on his
own more, but he has decided on UNLV.
But he wants to be treated like a college student.
Yes, I need you to treat me like a college student as they're all
like yelling and screaming and jumping on him and excited.
And you know, it's endearing that all the kids really want
him around. They obviously all really love
him so. They do, and that's cute.
Yeah, you can't fault the littles here.
They're used to having him around probably more than Kody.
But yeah, it's also like.
Kody's like, I'm going to be around and they're like, OK,
like if he was to announce something similar, they'd be
like, whatever, but then Logan does it and it's like, yay, our
supplement for a father. Yep, and it just makes me
wonder, did he make this decision because he thought it
was best for him or did he make this decision because he
thought it was best for his siblings and the family?
I don't think it would be the end of the world to consider the
family stuff. No.
That's so much nicer than me. Like I was like, I don't give a
fuck what my family thinks. I'm going to live my life and do
my thing. So you know.
I think he's just like, you can't call me back or you can't
treat me like I'm here at your beck and call still like I'm
going to be a college student and I'm technically going away
still like I'm going to have bigger fish to fry and more
important, like, different priorities.
Please remember that even though I'm still around, like, I
think he's trying to put it out into the ether.
Like, please, like respect my boundaries now that I'm going to
be 18. And I don't know how that's
going to go. We'll see.
Well, hot off the heels of Logan telling us this, Kody's like,
oh, what did I get from that? What I got from that is that I
think Logan will be happy with returning home.
If he has a chance to spend some time in our new homes, he'll
just love it. He'll want to come home even
after he has children. He'll want to come back and
spend time here. And it's like, what?
I mean, of course, he might want to come back and visit, but
what makes you think that if he spent any time also, there's
no homes to move into. They have to to build the homes.
He's touring colleges. We're not talking about he's
leaving in three years. We're talking about he's leaving
soon. Yeah.
And your homes, you you have put down earnest money.
You haven't even got your financing figured out.
This isn't him like going off to boarding school his like
sophomore year of high school or something.
Like no, he's going out to college.
He doesn't have an attachment to these invisible homes that
aren't there yet. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. So even if you built them in a
month, you think he's going to live there for a month, two
months, three, however long and be like, wow, I'm coming back
every weekend because of these houses?
I'm coming back to my childhood room that I maybe bought,
didn't even live in before going off to college because there's
no way those homes are going to be built by the time that he
goes off to school. Yeah, it's weird.
I mean, it's just Kody being dumb.
Oh my God, fucking Kody. And then they show the homes
being built with some sort of filter in front of the people
that are doing the housework, like showing like, oh, past,
present, future, you know, sometimes they put the filter
over. Yeah, like a sepia town.
Yeah. So they put that over like a
home being built and it's like Lord knows that's probably not
their homes being built. It's probably another one in the
neighborhood. And they just got some footage
the. Model home that they just
toured. Yeah, and they just got some
footage of somebody working on it.
They show the clip of the kids with the snowflake kites just
drafting around over the cul-de-sac.
And yes, our hopes, our dreams, are floating away in the sky
like these snowflake kites. Janelle and Kody both have a
couple things to say as we're wrapping up this episode.
Janelle says if we fail on this, we will have no credibility
with these kids. So at least there's this
acknowledgement that Meri started during Garrison's
birthday party. So, you know, at least some of
the adults are verbalizing, vocalizing their understanding
that the kids are going. Yeah, we'll believe it when we
see it all at Garrison's birthday party.
At least a couple of the parents are getting it because Kody
still for sure. The fuck is Matt?
This is the second season that we've ended with the snowflake
kites and a cul-de-sac shot and promising the same thing to
these kids. Yeah, a whole season, a whole.
Season. Right back where we started.
Yep. Oh, except for now we've written
some checks, so that's good. We didn't see if they cleared.
No, we did not. We saw them taking a photo of
the wives holding their checks up and they're posing with their
check and then they blur the numbers out and I'm like, yeah,
a really great idea. Let's take a photo of ourselves
holding our checks up in the air with all of our numbers on
there. With Mona, who was like
immediately calling the developer to be like, yo, they
bought it. Like we got the money.
Yeah. I'm making my cut while the
episodes wrapping and they have this montage of the footage
with the snowflake kites and this eerily familiar wrap up.
Like we just saw it and the footage.
Same. Everything, yeah.
We have Kody with a voice over saying we have 30 days to make
the financing happen. And it's like, yeah, we get it,
OK. Apparently they only have 30
days to get the financing for these new homes once again.
Do you think that might be a part of next season?
I don't know. I for one loved Garrison's
birthday party. I thought it was so cool.
It was so great to celebrate Garrison's birth.
It was wonderful. Yep.
Not only did Garrison have to be upstaged by his brother's
large announcement about college, but his father had to
try to upstage it with the financing on the homes.
God, can Kody ever take a goddamn break?
No, he can't. You just let this be about your
child's birthday because your kids don't even know what
earnest money is, so do they really need to know that you put
earnest money down? Like shut the fuck up.
And then to be disappointed in your kids reaction?
Shut the fuck up, right? You don't get to tell your kids
how to feel, just like you don't get to tell your wives how to
feel, you dumb motherfucker. I've heard a time or two that he
might be a narcissist, and so I'd like to think this isn't
just one of those things where we're calling him a name.
I think he might be, he might be.
The time has come for you to lip sync for your life.
The time has come. I'm going to pass the baton to
you and ask you who gets your mustard seed this episode.
We're going to start with the mustard seeds.
I'm going to give my mustard seed to Logan.
Excellent choice. And I'm going to give him my
mustard seed because he did a very good job throughout the
episode saying how he was feeling without saying how he
was feeling to offend his family.
He tiptoe tiptoed around. Through the tulips.
Tiptoed through the tulips and he tried to stand up for himself
without being rude about it. And he made it known in his
private interview moments his concerns without throwing his
family under the bus, even though we can all read between
the lines. So my mustard seed goes to Logan
for being so diplomatic with his answers in the interviews and
all that jazz throughout this episode.
Yes. What about yourself?
I know this one's going to be tough because.
I didn't really like people in this episode, but you know,
like, in general, like. I didn't really like people in
this. Episode I think I'm going to
give my mustard seed though to Janelle because Janelle is our
frugal queen with finite resources and it is good to have
someone in the group that's always reminding people like,
yo, we probably can't afford this or if we want to do this,
this means we're going to have to sacrifice in ways that you
might not be prepared to. So just be aware also at the
very end of the episode, the acknowledgement of if they fail
on getting these homes that they will have no more credibility
with their children. It's like, thank you and Meri
alluded to it, but I just can't give Meri a mustard seed on
this episode because of her fucking breakdowns.
But Janelle, I can give Janelle a mustard seed, and hopefully
if she waters that mustard seed in the ground, a plant will
come out of it. If it doesn't, I won't be
heartbroken. It could be a dried up, crusty,
nasty old mustard seed. And I'd be fine with that.
Because I'm glad Janelle's finally waking up to this.
Or is aware. Knowing Janelle, she would save
that mustard seed and save it to season something slightly
later on in her life. Right now who gets your shit
stained honey? Who left a bad smell in your
panties? Kody Brown left a brown smudge
in my panties. Kody's utter lack of respect for
the fact that it was Garrison's birthday and his lack of
respect for his wives and the manipulation and the twisting of
the words of Christine. Yeah, so blatant and so
disgusting. And I could just go on and on
about everything that he did in this episode.
And everything that he did was manipulative.
And the facade is cracking, and his mask is coming off.
We saw a lot of his true colors.
And if you could have seen his facial reactions in this
episode, you'd be like, what the hell?
Yeah, there's a huge change that I noticed in this episode and in
the Q&A. The tension could be cut with a
knife. Yeah, the way he speaks to his
wives is not OK. No, for sure.
I mean, it's not OK the way he speaks to anybody, really.
Yeah. Kody Brown.
What a shit stain. What a shit stain.
What a shit. Stain Kody Brown My shit stain
is going to his lovely wife Robyn.
Robyn Brown gets a shit stain with the whole trying to elicit
some sort of response or an emotional response out of Meri
by bringing up that she only has one child and what your life
would have been like with more children was super icky.
Definitely. The intentions were not what the
delivery was. She's manipulative and horrible
and the accompanying crying makes me hate it even more
because it's just like, girl, you are.
Maybe even at the point where you have fooled yourself into
thinking that your own manipulations are just fine.
Like she's mentally fucked. That's my professional
diagnosis. Like she doesn't understand that
it's not OK to say the things she's saying.
She thinks she's truly being kind and like I'm giving you my
2. Cents, right?
Right. And she might as well have said
to Meri, you don't understand how to love a child because
you've only had a pet or something.
You know, like the way she was comparing her having more
children to Meri just having one.
And so she doesn't maybe have the fulfillment that Robyn has
was just gross. This is The thing is I think
she's self delusional because like that's not going to be
helpful. Like what person wants to hear
that? Like, oh, if you had more
children, you'd have more meaning in your life.
Like my God, you're saying this to a woman who has only been
able to have one child and we have been beat over the head
about her infertility the whole season and.
If anything, she's more grateful because she had to, you know,
try so hard. And so she, she knows.
And yeah, whereas someone potentially that can get knocked
up every time that they, you know, do the deed.
Very well could be I keep sleep moment for this season finale
