Hello world, welcome to My Sister Wives Podcast.

I'm Chris.

And I'm Allie, we're long time friends who had no idea we were both watching the TLC trainwreck reality show Sister Wives.

Join us as we rewatch Sister Wives, maybe have a drink or two, and share what useless information and insights we can provide.

Listen to us two deadbeat losers judge the Brown family.

That's us all right.

See you on the.

Flip side.

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.

All right, well, we are so excited about this episode because Robyn is finally joining the Brown family officially.

It's a big day, big day.

It is a big day.

It is a big day.

Big deal.

It is a very big deal.

Ali, is there anything that you wanted to point out about the episode holistically or big picture before we jump into the day before the wedding and their little activities?

I don't think there's anything we'll get into the nitty gritty of it for sure.

All I can say is that, you know, common to most weddings, there's an element of chaos involved, right?

Yes, there's definitely some chaos, definitely some planning that could have been done better, as it turns out.

And yeah, just some things like that, but we'll have to touch on those 1 by 1.

They jump in with the day before the wedding and Kody talking about their guys night out which is not a bachelor party.

He made sure to clarify which I mean because he's not a bachelor so it makes sense.

I guess I didn't even tie together the bachelor.

Not a bachelor of it, but I think I took it just more.

Well, they were sure to point out that there weren't any girls or beer.

Yeah.

Dancing girls.

Dancing girls.

Castles.

That's right.

They didn't even get that far because they've never seen it, you know, so they don't know how good it can be.

But.

Strippers.

It can be a good time, OK?

Now listen, I get that a lot of women about to be married maybe don't want their significant others, you know, going to a strip joint.

However, if you're worried about that, then maybe that's a bigger conversation for before the wedding, you know?

Yeah, agreed.

So maybe some other things in play, but.

I would hope I could trust my potential spouse, like my future husband, to go out with his friends and not actually be debaucherous.

Like to just enjoy the views and take in what he feels like.

Right.

I mean, as most people would assume that that's how it could go, right?

But as we know, no, that's not how it does for a lot of folks.

And so I appreciated the clarification.

Not that I was worried about Kody Brown and his debaucherous behavior.

I also thought it was funny that they shared about 30 seconds of that evening because I'm sure the rest of it was just so disgustingly boring.

I don't think any.

Well, he was having fun 'cause he's ridiculous, but I was just rolling my eyes.

There is no way that there was too much fun had because they didn't even really show them doing anything.

Janelle made a comment about how Logan is only 16 and he's participating and so she was hoping that there wouldn't be any actual adult activities happening.

And that makes sense.

I guess if you're bringing your 16 year old, it's probably like what's that place where they play games and have meals?

Dave and Buster's.

Dave and Buster's.

It's probably like Dave and Buster's vibes.

I maybe not even that cool, you know?

Fair enough.

They also show Robyn and what she got from the bridal shower.

Yeah, OK, yeah, let's talk about what Robyn got from the bridal shower, because what are the things that they told us about what she got from the bridal shower?

There was celery because Kody.

Well, it was all Kody.

'S it was a Kody Survival kit.

Oh.

Yeah, Kody Survival kit.

And the two things that they described within the Kody Survival kit was celery and salt and salt.

That's it.

Yes, that's all you need to survive Kody Brown, as it turns out.

Or that's all they decided to show us.

Thanks, production.

There might have been some better things in that box, we do not know.

We don't know.

And that whole story that Robyn shared of how she made eggs with Pepper and Kody was like, I take my eggs of salt.

But don't worry, like Christine will show you how I like my eggs.

And she was all like, I was like, girl, you fucking suck.

Like she was.

So I mean, I get it.

Like, Oh no, you're going to be a bride.

That's wonderful.

But like your future husband's wife is telling you how he likes his eggs and you think it's cute.

Like, I don't know.

I wouldn't think it's cute, but whatever.

Well, let's clarify that it wasn't his future husband's wife telling her how how she wants or she he wants the eggs cooked.

It was him telling her that his other wife will be sure to inform her of how his eggs should be cooked.

Yes, yes, yes, that Christine will tell.

Oh gosh.

But like a Kody Survival kit, I mean, I hope that there there was more included in that than what they showed, because I actually think that could be a cute like wife bonding moment.

Celery and salt is not it.

But they are great for Bloody Meri, you know, accoutrement.

But other than that, right, Get the fuck out of here, you know, like stop it.

So I hope there was better stuff in that box, but we'll never know.

You'd hope there is, but there probably isn't because this family, like seriously.

And I was surprised to, I shouldn't say surprise.

Once again, I know little tardy to the party, but these episodes are only 22 minutes because they're half hour episodes for this first season, other than the pilot, which we've talked about before.

So it seems like bam, all of a sudden we're into the day of the wedding.

Like they have these like little clips and then all of a sudden it's wedding day and they start with the this kind of, I guess the address was wrong on the invites that they sent.

Am I surprised by this?

No, I don't even know what to say about printing the wrong address on a wedding invite.

Like I, I just feel like that's a bit clown shoes, but I don't know, is that normal?

No, right.

That is simply not normal.

Do some people make that mistake?

Yes, they do.

Do most people catch it in the proof that they're reviewing that, you know, they've put together before they print everything and then what?

Send it out to people?

Like at no time throughout this until the actual wedding day could you have rectified the situation.

Like send and I, I definitely had couples that screwed up things, but they were able to mail something else out.

Yeah.

In time yes, there's a dollar amount factor to that, but it just seemed so silly that they were really that concerned the day of the wedding that people were going to go to the wrong place.

Like, yeah, she, I just.

Robyn made, she said, like we've been calling and we've been texting and we've been emailing.

So like you said, I mean, they clearly did not have enough time to send out a second invite.

So that means they didn't catch it till who knows when, like too late.

And it's like, didn't anyone?

I mean, maybe because it was at the outdoor space, you know, like maybe anyone that received it wouldn't really verify the address for them because it's not like their home.

Incorrect.

Somebody should be doing that.

Yeah.

You are sending people to an address for an event.

You make sure the fucking address is correct.

That's like sending it with the wrong date.

You know you don't invite somebody to your wedding on the wrong day like.

Into the wrong place.

So, and that comes up later because it's absolutely asinine.

Robyn made a jar.

She had this big glass jar and inside of it she put updated addresses like on little slips of paper or something to leave that at the incorrect address.

And so she was talking about that at her half home and I was noticing that her half home still looks like they just moved in yesterday.

There is nothing on the walls.

There are boxes, there are totes.

And so still this timeline like she makes reference to like, oh, it's just taken so long and we've seemed to have gone through so much.

And I'm like, what you didn't go through was unpacking or putting anything anywhere.

Like you couldn't even put your boxes in a closet.

You couldn't even move the totes out of the living room.

Like everything that's out looks like they just moved in 2 days ago and there's nothing on the walls and I'm like I don't even know bitch how you live like this?

Like how do you even go?

Like once again, what's your job?

What are you doing all day?

You can't spend an hour making your place look like oh we live here?

Like I just don't get it.

Well, because at this point in the timeline, if we assume that the timeline that we've been shown is actually accurate for what they're going through, we would assume that she's been there at least two or three months.

Yeah.

Yeah, like at least a couple months, I would say.

So it is kind of, you know, you and I, we are, we are unpackers.

We are like for myself personally, if I move into a place, at least a certain section of that place is going to look like I've been there for a hot minute after about 24 to 48 hours at the most, right.

Like it is not so.

So yes, that is unique.

There's a lot of things unique about what happened you.

Are the friend where when we're moving in, people are still moving in boxes and you're placing shit in on the wall and doing all of that like you are unpacking during the move.

Yes, now I am not that I'm not like that, but I definitely can't sit in a bunch of boxes and totes for.

You're fairly quick about it.

The only thing that you do differently than I do, I think is actually take more time to think about what you're putting where and when and why and how.

Like I think I'm just like, this looks good here.

Boom.

And you're like, no, let me really feel it out for a second and just make sure that I'm putting things really where I want them.

Like, you settle in with it for a little bit, but it's still, yeah, doesn't look like you moved in yesterday.

That place still looks decent.

You know what I mean?

Like.

Like, if we moved in on a Friday, that means on Monday it's gonna look like someone here knows what they're doing and they're unpacking and they're living their life.

It's not like they just moved in on Friday.

We wouldn't even look like we just moved in on a Friday, Correct?

So gross.

Correct.

It's just, there's so many reasons to hate Robyn.

And as I'm watching this, there's just more and more and more like I'm like, bitch, open a tote, put something on a wall, take out a nail.

Like what are you doing?

Do you know one of my favorite?

This is a little side note from before they got to kind of the part where she was talking about the addresses and everything.

But they had all four of them, all four of the wives and Kody sitting on the couch as they were kind of talking about leading up to this.

And apparently there had been some discussion on the wedding day.

Like other wives have been trying to say, it's going to rain, It's going to rain.

And they were, you know, la, la, la, la, la.

We don't hear that it's going to rain.

And they're still moving on with everything.

But I think it was Meri that said, you know, the clouds were just rolling in and rolling in.

And Christine stops and she goes, and that's not a metaphor.

Yeah.

It's literally what was happening.

It was not a metaphor, you know?

And I was like, Oh my God, how funny.

Because the the clouds are rolling in with the new marriage.

And it was like, no, no, no.

But it was kind of.

I just like that they had to clarify that that was not a metaphor.

Right.

No, absolutely not.

But yeah, so they invited people to the wrong place and that was super special.

Kody was bouncing around like an idiot.

Yeah, he's always bouncing around like an idiot.

It was just like, I'm 12 today, like.

You know, like if the.

Oh yeah, he said.

He feels like it's, yeah, 12.

Yeah, I'm like, you're a grown man getting married.

You can just say that.

Well, and I wonder if he is like that all the time, like he's putting on for the camera a little bit for sure, but how much?

Because my God, putting up with that energy on a regular basis, I would be like, listen, I know you have main character syndrome, but like we're like, if there's no cameras around, we aren't being filmed.

You don't have to do this.

Like, Oh my God, I would be like, you need to take it down.

You're at a nine and they need you at like a four.

Like, Oh my God.

And I think his energy is like that, whether it's happy, excited, fun energy or it's stressed, angry, whatever energy.

Like I think it's still like that heightened sense of experience, like not experiences, but that heightened sense of energy, just energy, whether it's positive or not, you know, and he's definitely God makes it a thing.

Main character syndrome is accurate for sure.

Fucking Kody.

So then they cut to the girls getting ready.

I guess.

I don't know if I should say girls, but yeah, it's the girls getting ready for the wedding, getting their hair done, their makeup.

I think Maddie says like some of them, it was their first time ever doing anything like that.

And that makes sense.

I mean, you, the girls are all all, all ages.

They so truly a little baby getting her nails painted.

And I was like, is that safe?

That I'm like, there's probably nail Polish that's actually OK for kids.

That's, you know, it's like it's a newborn.

Isn't she just going to like suck on it?

But I don't know.

We ain't let us babies and we're OK, you know, like it's fine.

I don't know.

I, you know, it's totally one of those moments where I'm like, am I being a Karen about the nail Polish on the little baby?

But then I'm like, well, I don't know.

I'd never thought about it, but it's a valid thought.

Yeah, well.

I'm impressed.

I'll give you props.

I mean, that was pretty good.

I mean, it is truly.

So let's.

Oh, stop.

That's so terrible.

I'm so terrible.

So it was interesting because they started the morning with Robyn at her house doing all of these things and whatever else, right?

And she's going crazy and all this stuff.

And that continues to progress throughout the episode.

But then yes, it's the the other three wives and the daughters are at the salon and they're getting their hair and they're getting their makeup and they're getting pedicures and manicures and they are having a lovely morning.

Their morning is relaxing.

It is wonderful.

They're excited, 0 stress, 0 pressure.

And then I think we get to a point in a little bit later where Robyn starts losing her shit and is like, why am I alone on my wedding day?

And she was.

And so that was very interesting.

So.

But they did, they had a good old time.

It was very funny.

And yeah, I the salon was lovely.

They really liked the people at the salon.

They thought they were so nice.

That's great.

That's beautiful.

So then Kody is driving around looking for this wrong address to leave the glass jar that Robyn has put the correct address in.

And it has like and then like a metal stake thing because he picked up some balloons, like a bunch of balloons to put at the wrong address to get everyone's attention to go to the right address.

And as he's driving around, they are playing this like clown music, this like circus music for the first bullet.

And I was like, are you effing kidding?

Because like, this is the thing about production and editing is like, it does put a spin on what you're absorbing.

And so there's this extra level of like slapstick Kody driving around to find the wrong address.

Meanwhile, I'm like, it is your wedding day.

Is there no one else that could be doing this?

And is this just for production?

Like, oh, we got a film, Kody driving around doing whatever.

Like what, one of your 12 boys or however many people like you have to know someone.

APA could go put it somewhere.

I guess they thought they needed the footage.

As far as a storyline, I think it kind of sucks.

So Boo.

So my take on that scenario, which you'll just love, is that the man was given 1 task.

OK, the man was given 1 task and his task was to get balloons.

Maybe he could consider it 2 tasks.

One task was to get the balloons and the second task was to place the jar and the balloons at said location.

And of course this becomes an entire shit show and he can barely even complete the task.

Oh which because also was hysterical.

The wrong address that was on the invites didn't actually even exist.

So what they did was find another address that was close enough to the wrong address that he could leave it there, but he drove around in circles for I don't know how long trying to find the wrong address that doesn't exist now.

What a fucking shit show.

But it's just like that true man thing that they say they want to help and you say this is one thing you could do.

And that one thing that they can do ends up barely getting accomplished but being the most dramatic thing possible of the entire day, right?

And like, Jesus fucking Christ.

And that's why women do it all themselves.

Okay, so like, it was just prime example.

I'm like, of course he can't even fucking do the one thing she told him to do.

Of course he can't even accomplish that.

And of course he's going to drive around for an hour and a half looking for the wrong address that doesn't exist on your wedding day.

So that now he's late to get ready and then makes it sound like he's been working so hard all morning.

Yeah, driving around his gold Honda van like.

Oh God.

I mean, yeah, Paulies.

I suppose he couldn't fit the balloons in the Lexus.

I really loved that he had to drive the van.

It was pretty fantastic to me.

I'm like, yeah, you drive around.

It does also fit with the narrative more more micro rather than all men but like Kody specifically, his thing is turning mountains into mole hills and like being unable to like accomplish basic things.

You're saying that's micro?

Well, I don't know, I guess maybe I was using it wrong.

I meant, well, no, I meant it more like, yeah, specifically Kody.

Like that is definitely his.

Thing that is definitely his thing, but more straight men do that then don't OK I mean.

I mean, I, I hear you.

I yes, I I just I straight.

Men can RIP me apart in the comments, I don't care.

Like, I know I like, I definitely don't know what to say about that other than it just does align for sure with Kody's thing.

Like he's always like pointing out these things and making this whatever and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And it's like, OK, you had one thing to do.

And yeah, they do.

Then cut to Robyn getting ready in her home.

She or her, yeah, her half home.

She's in a but she's there with the kids alone, like you said, like she's alone.

And the camera crew is, of course, filming footage that makes it look like it's a little bit chaotic.

She's trying to get 3 kids ready on her wedding day.

They're, you know, Dayton's like pushing and punching one of the sisters.

She's like trying to get him in the car.

But she is in this brown dress.

So as we all talked about in the episode or how it goes, is that she has a wedding dress that I'm assuming she wore to the ceremony.

I don't know.

But so this footage, she's wearing the brown dress.

So I'm assuming this footage is actually from after the ceremony and she's getting the kids ready to go to the reception.

Because when she shows up at the reception, all of the wives are wearing brown dresses for family photos.

So while they're showing this, I feel like it seems like in the episode that it's.

Still while everything's happening, but it's definitely after the ceremony.

I don't think she's doing this before the ceremony.

Now I can't say that with 100% certainty, but I don't think she wore a brown dress to her ceremony with Kody because when they took wedding photos she's in a white dress.

I think you're right.

I think it was after the ceremony and it was before the reception.

One of the things that I loved was when she was trying to wrangle all of the kids in to to get them out of the house.

First of all, she was trying to get Aurora to help her with something.

And it just I will say there's not a ton of parenting moments that I see in this show that maybe I I think we probably I parent probably very differently than this family parents, right?

But there was just a moment that I was like, Oh my God, every mom that would see that is like, Oh God, I know how she feels because she was saying to Aurora, I need your help Aurora.

And Aurora was and batshit crazy and she just kept repeating herself.

I counted at least three, but it could have gotten up to five.

I need your help, Aurora.

Aurora, I need your help, Aurora.

I need your help.

I need your help, Aurora.

Aurora like she was like, I am going to blow my fucking lid unless you do exactly what I need you to do right fucking now.

And it was just one of the few moments of stress and parenting because even as a big group, like sometimes I feel like they just let everybody go and do and be unless like injuries are happening or something.

And this was her trying to, right?

They were trying to like she was raining them in and Aurora was like, fuck you.

And she's like.

Well, this is what's, I mean if it's after, I guess regardless if it's after the ceremony or before that this is shot.

She is there alone.

Like I was thinking, OK, if the other wives and everyone are getting ready, but they showed her getting ready with them at one point too in the salon.

So I'm kind of I'm kind of just wondering why it is that she's alone period.

You know, why there isn't another wife there helping?

Why there isn't another daughter there helping?

I think it's because they don't know how to plan things.

I mean, they don't think about the full picture.

Do you know what I mean?

So let's say she did leave after the ceremony to go back home to change.

First of all, that seems like an interesting thing, but I guess they weren't like at a venue venue.

They were at an outdoor park or whatever.

So maybe it made sense to go home and change, but she should never have her fucking kids with her if she's just on a mission to go home and change like that.

Seems odd that somebody else wasn't like they should stay with us or that another wife or even one of the older daughters wasn't like, oh, let me come with you and I can help you.

Like I I just don't think they were thinking through this whole day and kind of some of that.

And I think the other wives really were kind of having a good old time and enjoying what was happening and not thinking about Robyn in that sense.

Like they were just waiting for the festivities.

They weren't thinking about what happened before that.

And I will give them all a little bit of credit, specifically Christine and Janelle credit, because they didn't have that wedding experience.

Meri did, but Meri didn't have that experience with children running amok.

So I think it's really different.

But like, I can think back to when my sister got married and one of the things that we didn't plan for.

So we spent the whole morning, you know, getting ready, the hair, the makeup, all the stuff.

We go to the church, there's photos.

PS By the way, we'll talk about the photos.

That is the worst part of a fucking wedding day is the photos and a family that big, like, I would jump off a bridge.

But anyway, we were sitting there in the middle of the afternoon and it was still like another hour before the ceremony started maybe.

And other people were off doing photos and everybody was like, Oh my God, we haven't eaten.

Like we were starving.

So like, went up to the gas station, you know, Pizza Hut to get like chicken fingers and fries.

Spent like $200 on chicken fingers and fries for 10 people to eat because it was like, Oh my God, nobody has food.

We didn't think about this.

So then as I was planning weddings for many years in the future, I was like, don't forget to feed yourself during the day when you're getting ready.

And you're doing this, right?

Like, you don't think about some of that stuff.

They weren't thinking about the support that Robyn would need getting ready throughout that whole day.

Like she was just spending for herself.

And in hindsight, no, apparently she had encouraged them to go off and do these things to get the pedicures and to do all of that.

But I don't think she was picturing what was coming her way either.

Like they just should have thought through that better for sure.

And I'm, you know, a point of I don't know WTF miss or something with this family is the faining of like not knowing how weddings go because they don't have weddings like that in their culture.

And I'm like, OK, well, I know things about other cultures that I don't participate in.

I know things about heterosexual marriages and mainstream America, even though that's not my life.

And I'm kind of like, so nobody thought that.

Like, I, I mean, maybe as a gay man, I am more sensitive to it, but there's usually a maid of honor, there's a matron of something, there's a person that does your right hand help on the day of their something.

And it's like, so no one thought of that.

And really particularly Chris is going to scold Meri because Meri should have known better.

And Robyn and Meri at this point have something going on as far as their relationship, where they're close, they are friends, They obviously have an emotional bond.

And why Meri didn't think to lean in on that or wasn't, it does seem weird.

Now, Christine and Janelle, sure.

I mean, particularly well, both of them, because we'll talk about what they say about their wedding days.

As we know they were basically clown shoes.

But it just overall is strange that Robyn doesn't have anyone else helping her in these scenes.

It just, I don't know, it's just weird.

This family's so dumb sometimes.

Didn't there have to be a moment when Robyn was leaving?

We're just going to go with the fact that Robyn went home to change from her one dress to the other one before they went to the reception because I think that does make the most sense.

Yeah.

So there then had to be a moment that they are leaving the ceremony where people are watching Robyn and her children pack up a van, go to her house and like, not even like, like a little.

And what are they all doing?

Not even a thought like oh, we'll.

Just go to the park and sit and look at each other.

Yeah.

I mean, I just what?

It doesn't make sense.

I don't know.

It is strange, but also this family is strange.

Then we cue the Latin lover music.

OK, cue the like.

Don't, don't, don't.

Like there could be a rose in someone's mouth, like the whole ballroom scene and Meri's putting a bow tie on Kody.

OK.

And the camera is pan tight, like it's their faces.

And it's a little like behind Meri, kind of more focused on Kody as he's getting the tie put on him.

And there's, I don't remember exactly what they say to each other, but there's a little back and forth.

And because of the music, there seems like there's some sexual tension or a little bit of like a, oh, like, are you excited for me and blah, blah, blah, which is so weird because he's marrying somebody else.

She seems a little like, oh God, I just like, oh God, I can't believe I'm get to do this to Kody, which is just kind of sad.

It's like he is your husband and you're, it just feels like by this point, I feel like their intimacy levels are already very low.

It seemed like she was a little like, oh God, I just like, honey, it's your husband and you're putting a bow tie on him.

You've been married to him for 20 years or something?

If Leon hadn't been there, do you think they would have fucked?

Well, this is OK, but this is the oh God, no, my God, why did you ask me that question?

It's a valid question.

Totally is what this is.

The thing is, like, the camera is where it is, and then it backs up and pans out and steps to the right, and Leon is right between them.

And I was like, this is so uncomfortable.

Like, your child is right there.

And I have to say that the music played a part in it.

But even if the music wasn't there, like, do I want to see my mom putting on a bow tie on my dad?

And he's like, Oh yeah, I could get it to you, baby.

Like, no, you don't want to see that.

And it was just so like, holy fucking shit, there is your kid right there like 2 feet away.

And then she go, well, some of the the mumbling that you were talking about at the beginning was that Meri was like, I really want to say something right now, but I'm not going to.

I don't think Leon would like it, right?

Like that would be embarrassing for them.

And then she keeps looking over to the camera like giddy schoolgirl, like, like.

And then she goes, I wish it was my wedding night.

Yeah, yeah.

Like that's fucking weird and she's coveting Robyns husband.

Which is.

Literally on the wedding day.

Which is her husband, who's been married to her for like 20 years.

And I don't know that she's ever had an orgasm from him as we've discussed.

But like, you know, she's still, so she's still like 15, like heavy petting.

Like, is this going to happen?

Like, girl, you are middle-aged with a child who is right there.

Like, Oh my God.

It was just very strange.

They do show a Robyn spotlight moment.

Maybe it was actually just a voiceover.

I don't know where she talks about how the cameras were not welcome at the ceremony.

It was a Robyn and Kody spotlight.

It was the two of them together.

Right now they're.

Talking about their magical moment.

Yes, he's got his arm around her.

She's in that.

Very little jacket tight to her like again, no space in between bodies.

But there weren't other people on the couch this time.

No space.

And he looks at her like I'm so in love with you and it makes me want to puke.

She really just seems so.

We said this in one of the last couple of episodes.

She just seems very not smart.

No.

Like simpleton.

Yeah, there were a few sentences that I picked up on over this episode where her, the way she phrased the sentences, the way she put them together was very like, oh, girl learned how to talk pretty one day.

Like it's just not.

Exactly.

It's not there exactly.

And that's.

Coming from someone who fucks up his words a lot like that is messy.

I want to see her on camera talking like the person she really is with, like her dumb school girlfriends, you know?

Like, I feel like there has to be an environment of people in which she doesn't.

She's not still trying to put on a show.

And God would I kill to see what that looks like.

And I feel like this might be, I don't know, but it's interesting how years later when we see Robyn talking now, she's almost like there's a gas leak, like she's very lethargic and she's very slow.

I.

Think she's trained herself.

Sorry if I spoke over you.

No, it's all.

It's all.

Good.

I I but I think she's trained herself.

That's what I because I think she yeah, she watched herself look like a buffoon, like an idiot.

And she's like, I know I only have the brain that I have, but I can probably make them not think I'm as dumb as I.

Am yeah.

Like if I literally think of every phrase intentionally as I'm saying it, which slows her down to the point of like brain damage, like what is going on?

And you know, some of those people that do that, the slow talking, they're doing it intentionally so that they can really place and peace what they're saying and how so that you don't recognize it.

And she's probably eliminated certain words out of her vocabulary to not, you know what I mean?

Like, I think this is an intentional thing that she's been trying to perfect over the year.

Yeah, I mean, it took her 15 years to figure it out, but eventually she does talk slow and intentional, and she sounds like I don't even know.

Gross.

So I know.

So then when we're actually at the reception, is there anything you have before we talk about family photos?

No, you had touched on just this ceremony piece, like they had that private ceremony now where I have that note written.

I am doubting the timing of the dress thing because it was after that.

But again, we don't really know how they put this shit together anyway, so it's fine.

But yeah, that that was just like a super small intimate moment.

They weren't going to have cameras there for it.

I kind of, I'm curious about what that actually looks like.

You know, like, what is so sacred about this that cameras can't be allowed?

Because really they seem like they're pretty fine about exploiting their religion for this television show.

So like, interesting, right?

But I feel like it's probably more so that somebody else put a boundary up.

The cameras couldn't be there for it, as opposed to them saying we don't want cameras here for our ceremony.

I think Kody who knows this is still their first season.

I don't know what's out yet when they're filming this because he definitely is a pusher for cameras like he many many years later.

There are several situations that happened with this family where there probably should not be cameras, including things like funerals where Kody pushes and it's considered inappropriate by several family members.

And even like as a viewer, it's a little weird.

So I'm not sure why that is.

Or I I don't know if it actually was like an institutional thing because this AUB group, who even effing knows, like I do suspect that it was just majorly frowned upon and they couldn't have any cameras.

And finally, it's sacred as Robyn causes very sacred and Amen.

OK, sounds good.

I wonder what hers was like in comparison to the other wives.

Like the ceremony itself, if the other wives were there and if theirs was particularly different, because if it was just an intimate thing where they were doing some sort of exchange of whatever, then it might not have been much of anything.

I feel like the actual wedding ceremonies themself, like the words that were said, the people that were there, things like that probably were very similar for all the wives.

I think it's more the type, the floral, the reception, the cake, the food, all the stuff like I think those are the things where are different.

But I would, I would feel like the ceremony has to kind of just be with the ceremony is, don't you think?

Well, and also the People magazine spread that Robyn got, so there was also that.

Oh well.

The the, the wedding photos of Robyn and Kody in front of like a flower garden and in front of this and all that in front of her in her wedding dress and he's the the groom and everyone's just so happy for her.

I'm sure I saw it at the time but unfortunately it's left my brain.

Yeah, now it's just on the interwebs if you Google it and you know.

I don't know that we're encouraging people to Google that and give them more attention at this.

Point I just it's just funny that it's like Robyn's wedding day.

Like if you look at the photos of like Christine and Janelle and then Robyn is literally in People magazine with like looking great and poor Christine or.

Christine or Christine like trash?

Satin trash bag is what Christine wore to her wedding.

Yes, satin trash bag.

Absolutely.

That's amazing.

Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah, and not only did Robyn get one dress, but she got 2 and everything else she wanted.

Yes, well, this is it.

So when we get to the reception, Robyn shows up in her brown dress because Meri has pointed out that they were hoping to do family photos and that if they were all wearing a brown dress, then they would be the four wives, signifying that they're, you know, the four wives.

And it's an opportunity for family photos, which is always fun.

Now, a thing like a wedding, Yeah, you probably will get a family photo out of it.

It is annoying as a photographer who has never worked a wedding, but who has worked events where people are then like, this is an opportunity for us to take family photos.

And it's like, well, that's actually an entire effort.

Like on both sides, like as you, the people being photographed and as the photographer.

So like, I love that you're trying to get this, but this is probably not the right time to be doing that.

And you know, when you have that many kids and as we see the kids, you know, Aurora or Brianna has a, Brianna has a breakdown.

You know, she's like, oh, crying and blah blah blah.

But they do start off with all of the wives in the brown dress, which is why I'm don't know if Robyn got married in that dress.

I doubt it.

So that's why I'm thinking she went home and then went to the park or whatever.

Janelle gives the hats off to Meri for being the picture Nazi.

Oh, oh, oh, but then they correct themselves.

She's not the picture Nazi, she's the picture goddess.

Kody calls her the picture.

Goddess.

So wait, let's just backtrack really quick here.

Marries things that she brings to the family.

OK, yes.

Number one.

Tooth puller.

Tooth puller, yeah #2.

Packing Nazi.

Packing Nazi.

See, that's why they said we've called her a Nazi one too many times.

Let's revisit this.

So now she's the picture.

Goddess.

I hope I'm not too much of A perfectionist and I hope I wasn't really starting to annoy the photographer.

I was like, bitch, she.

Didn't give a fuck.

You were definitely doing all of those things and yet you couldn't stop yourself.

And that's fine, but.

That's amazing.

You know, yes, family photos are challenging at any time.

Wedding photos in general.

Yeah, Thank the Lord Jesus, you never tried to have that be a market you dove into because it's horrible.

It's the worst.

So first of all, you have to have the right photographer to, like, help you get through all of the and.

And I can just imagine this poor man.

What if they didn't tell him that they want a full family photo of this 30 people or whatever it is at this point, right?

Like what if they didn't say this?

You need to a lot like an hour's worth of time for that shit.

Because first of all, nobody is where they need to be when they need to be.

You can give them a schedule all day long of who should be where and how they should.

Nobody does.

And then the second you don't have them in a photo, they wander and then you're dragging their asses back because they're in the next 1.

And it's all this like it's atrocious.

So you have to have a photographer.

The A has that timing planned on appropriately, but then B can wrangle all these idiots and are you kidding?

And then the screaming children and this and that all.

It's just, it's the freaking worst.

I used to tell couples that you, what's the best way to explain?

Everybody wants to go for the cheap person, right?

Everybody wants to save the dollars, OK.

And that's great.

And you can find very reasonably priced people.

I always said to go for the happy medium to the higher end because you really want somebody that's going to a plan out in advance with you.

These are the photos that you want, right?

You can't just show up on the wedding day and be like, what do you want me to do?

Who do you want these photos?

What?

No, we need to lock step all of this.

Like this has to be lined up.

And then really have them be forceful.

Like they have to kind of be assholes at times, you know?

And you have to say like, this is like, right now, this is what we're doing.

Get in this place.

I could not imagine that large group of people with that many young children.

We only saw a brief moment.

Yeah.

They didn't show us life.

They should not drag that out.

And thank you.

Thank you, Thank you.

But if I'm thinking about how long that actually took, Yeah.

Oh, my God.

And they probably barely got one decent one.

Do you know what I mean?

Like there's probably one with only one person's eyes half closed like it was the.

Worst.

Amen.

Robyn also says that she was concerned that people were not going to show up to the reception, especially because they put the wrong address on the invite.

You know, sometimes I think Robyn's concerns aren't valid, but this is one that I'm going to give her credit for being concerned about that because I do see how that's problematic, right?

Isn't that interesting?

Right.

We have to give it to Robyn.

That was a common sense thought.

She did state it as if it was like a big dull that she was aware, but you know.

I think we're all pretty certain too, right?

That it was Robyn that fucked up the address on the invite, right?

Because nobody else threw her under the bus.

But she also didn't fess up to it.

It was something like, well, our invitations accidentally had the wrong address printed on them.

Bitch please, I fucked up the address on my invitation.

Yes.

But she leaves that part out, you know?

You're so right, she totally fucked that shit.

Up.

She probably tried to blame the printer like oh they transpose the number.

Yes, I approved something and it said something different and then it's like prove it and she's like.

You sent them the file with all the fucking information, dummy.

Oh, Robyn, she's bright.

She's a bright star.

She really is.

After they transitioned away from the family photos bit though, Robyn is back in her wedding dress.

So this is what's the thing.

Like once again, I'm not saying that I know how the day went, but she's now back in her dress for the reception because it's her wedding.

It did cross my mind that like, you're joining the family and a way to assimilate with the wives would maybe be to not wear your wedding dress.

I don't know if that's fair to say because I would want to wear a wedding dress if it was my wedding day and I was getting married.

So maybe that's a bit much to ask.

But it is a little bit like interesting that she is so mindful of how everyone feels and she just wants to make sure it all goes well.

And then she's in a brown dress like everyone else.

And then it's like, fuck it, I'm turning back into my wedding dress for the ceremony.

But is that selfish?

Maybe it's not.

Maybe I'm overthinking it?

You're not overthinking it because I'm thinking it in several different ways.

But so number one, I guess I don't know that we can assume that the actual wedding dress that she wore at the reception is the one she wore at the ceremony.

There maybe was a more tasteful, less form fitting garment that she rocked for their religious cult ceremony.

Maybe Christine's mom made it for her, just like Christine's dress.

Maybe, no, we know that Robyn was in something better than Christine was.

Let's not kid ourselves.

But so who knows, maybe that was the case.

Maybe it was the same dress she wore later on at the reception.

I don't know.

I'm going to actually give Robyn some credit here because I can think of of very few brides now granted their circumstances different, but I can think of very few brides that would be open to the suggestion of changing into the brown dress for the family photo on the wedding day because they didn't want her to look any different than the other wives for that photo.

Now Robyn was seeing the greater goal, which was whole family together dressed up nice.

Perfect time for family photo.

Like that makes sense, right?

Like it really does make sense to do it that way.

So she was fine with that.

Whether she changed out of the other dress or not unclear.

Now if she wore the other dress simply for the ceremony, Oh boy.

See, we're going down the rabbit hole.

I mean, this is how this goes.

If she wore the other dress for the ceremony, number one, I could see them thinking, we're not paying this much money for a wedding dress for you to only wear it for 30 minutes to an hour.

Like obviously you should change back into it in the evening, right?

Like part of me thinks that if that was the dress you wore, that was the case.

But if she had worn her regular dress for the ceremony and the money aspect of it wasn't a concern, what she should have done it was get a cuter little cocktail dress for the reception.

But if?

It showed off her calves.

She.

I'm not saying a traditional cuter cocktail dress, I'm saying a Mormon.

What?

A Mormon cocktail dress?

But you don't want the mentalist.

Mormon cocktail dress.

I I Google that real fast and show me what comes up.

Yes, let's get a designer.

Get it up, please.

I just feel like she could have done the regular dress for the ceremony, then the dress for the pictures, and then turned it into something cuter for the evening.

And maybe it wasn't a white dress for that.

Maybe it was a brown dress but a cuter more sparkly.

Like whatever it was.

I, I guess I just don't know.

It is kind of wonky.

That's a lot of changes for it not to be a different dress happening.

But also then I'm still giving her the credit of being willing to change out of whatever her preferred wedding dress was, to have this brown dress to blend in in the family photos.

Like I think that actually, I mean with what we come to find out about her as we go down the road, that's pretty decent.

You have changed my mind because I well, because I was thinking, you know, aren't you being a selfish bitch by going back into your wedding dress when in all reality getting out of the wedding dress for that does demonstrate the assimilation that I was talking about.

So God damn it, I hate what we have to Robyn.

Some fucking kudos, you know.

But you love that, you know?

Fuck, you made me be nice to her for a second.

OK, fine.

Hey, you know what?

Amen.

There's plenty of opportunity to RIP her apart, so let's give her.

Some, well, we will never hold back in those moments either.

Yes.

This is it.

This is it.

I love, like, scrutinizing everything about her life and I'm like, well, I guess I'll give her half a point for that one.

Oh God.

There was just one stupid moment, like as they were getting ready, as she had just changed out of her dress and she was doing all of her stuff or whatever, and she goes, now it's time for the reception baby.

And I was like.

Oh.

What are you doing?

Go, bro.

It's just awkward.

Yeah, super awkward.

So I thought I should make sure you were aware.

Oh, Robyn.

She's a linguist, Rob.

OK, Robyn, on the brain now.

Good God, help me, Help me, Lord.

Eat demons out.

Demons out.

Then there's this tight up close shot of Meri, Robyn Kody.

Maybe they're around the cake.

They are.

Around the cake.

So it must be just before the cake cutting that Meri kind of takes a moment and gives Robyn this collada ring that we referenced in the other episode.

Hopefully they took the price take off.

Right.

This is all I can think of.

Oh, Sabin Was Sabin OK?

She was very touched, right?

Sabin was Sabin.

Uh huh.

But she was so touched and all I think, hold on, let me see, let me see what I wrote down.

She cried at the $50 ring.

Now, we do not know the actual price of the ring, but we do know 150 was too expensive, right?

So we're just.

So I mean, there's some sort of prices right bit here we're like closest price without going over like we know it's not over 150, right?

And also to clarify, for any person who is listening to this who is not part of the Sister Wives universe and has never heard Sabin before, that is a nickname that Robyn has because she cries.

Slash pretends to cry all the time.

I have a question for you.

Yes.

Do you think if anybody hadn't seen this show, they would still be listening right now?

No.

Just look, I'm hoping deep down inside, deep down in my original organs that.

As opposed to the ones that have been inserted.

I know, but I know I don't have anybody else's organs in me.

But, you know, like, it's just, well, not at the moment, like, but you know, it's just, yes, I hope someone is listening to this that hasn't watched the show.

And it's like, what are these people talking about?

Maybe they're watching the show with us in parallel and they're experiencing Browns for the very first time.

If you are, we will put you in a drawing.

Oh, don't.

You can't promise us doing a drawing.

Yes, I can.

We don't do anything.

Like that I can do a drawing.

If anybody has never seen Sister Wives and you are still listening right now at this very second, I want to hear about it and I'll give you something.

I'm not going to say you'll like it, but I can find some funny shit to send you in the mail, OK?

Ali will send you something and you never know, maybe we'll have you on for a special Friday with friends or something like that to hear about your experience with Sister Wives and us guiding you through the journey.

Of with how we've drawn you into this universe of magic.

Like a light to a flame or a moth to a flame.

Moth to a flame.

Moth is definitely more accurate for sure.

They call me Robyn.

Just talking out my mouth hole, God, Kody says.

Kody says God bless them.

Kody says weddings are complicated.

You'd think I'd be good at it by now.

And it's like, well, your track record is actually an F because your first wedding was by all accounts a traditional normal wedding.

Your second one, the wife had an intervention with her family because they thought she was going crazy and nobody came to the wedding because they thought she was literally losing her mind and joining a cult, which she was maybe not losing her mind, but she joined a cult.

Christine's wedding is a horrible day for her and a traumatic experience in her life.

So yeah, you don't have a good track record.

No one thinks you should have that.

You should be good at it by now.

You're not good at anything except for fooling some people I guess.

No, it's this vision that he has of himself and really who he is as the savior of this family and all of that.

You know, those are the things that are really funny to think back about.

He was stoked, right?

Like he was having a blast.

He was loving this.

He's got the 4th one sucking his Dick.

Like he is so happy.

And it's like, I mean, fine, great, but like, look what you did.

So like, look what you did to these women's lives, these women that gave you 20-30 years of their lives.

Bore your children.

Oh and you're Oh my God, like.

Yeah, he's really out of touch with reality, and I think he thinks it's funny because he thinks he's funny.

But when you're observing it, you're like, that's a fucking hot mess.

Yeah, so Janelle goes, my wedding was or my reception was nothing like Robyn's reception, right.

She's like, it was nothing like that.

And Christine goes, mine was a simple event.

And Meri said, yeah, mine was a large event.

And then like, Janelle chimed in like you had cream puffs.

And Meri goes we did have cream puffs.

And Janelle goes I was there.

It was like this.

Yeah, right.

Like, again, that's the thing.

Like, I don't know.

What the fuck?

It's funny because Janelle does reference that she says something along the lines of lost most of her family because of her wedding in that.

Yeah, that is where she brought it up.

And it's interesting how it's glossed over because of course these are they're only 22 minute episodes.

They're not going to go into that.

Even later in the show, they address some things, but they don't address the whole thing.

And Janelle, yeah, joining their family was a big deal.

A big deal to their, to her family.

They were like, you're joining a cult and you're going to be crazy.

And oh, she did join the cult.

As it turns out, whatever.

Kody refers to their reception as a coming out celebration.

I, you know, I understand it conceptually.

I think my, my take on it is totally kind of humorous because I think in my 30s, I can't remember what birthday it was, but I had a coming out party for like my 35th birthday or my 33rd birthday.

And it was funny because I was like, I'm coming out everybody and everyone's like, you're coming out in what way?

And I'm like, as a homosexual, they were like, what do you mean you're coming out?

And I'm like, I've never come out.

Like, my coming out story is kind of just this gradual, like telling of some people and people asking me and then becoming like, kind of political conversations.

Of course, I did have to have a first combo with my mom and my dad about actually being gay, but those things were kind of spliced into other things happening.

I didn't have like a moment.

So in my early 30s, I had a coming out party and all of my friends were laughing at me because I was wearing like Plaid shorts and this black T-shirt.

And they were like, you look like you're going to a golf course.

Like this is the worst outfit for a coming out party.

Like I look like a straight man and I'm like, oh shit, I look straight on my coming out party.

And it was like 15 years after I actually came out.

So anyway, I'm.

Feeling a certain way about this right now and #1 is, was I invited?

Oh, you were definitely invited.

So you think I ditched your party?

Well, OK, this is when I lived on Lagoon.

You definitely were invited.

I'm not sure why you were unable to attend.

It was just a birthday party that I turned into a coming out party.

I was probably there then, but.

My neighbor who lives in the building was there and her partner was like tripping on acid.

It was.

Definitely there.

I must have missed out the I must have not missed, but I must have just ignored the coming outness because I thought it was ridiculous.

I have no idea why you.

Because I was there when he was tripping on acid, yeah.

So am I coming out party?

Yes.

Even though I've been out.

Maybe that overshadowed the coming out.

But I just had to think in my mind, I was just going, you know what, Kody?

I hear you.

Coming outs are important.

And while I didn't do mine on national television, I did do it 12 years after I was actually out and on my birthday.

And I look straight.

So yeah, whatever.

I think it worked for you.

I think you're rocking it still, you know?

Yeah, I think my coming out's a better story than Kody's, but whatever.

Yep.

So they they have their coming out party, if you will, and you know, they were kind of reflecting on different pieces of it and they cut to Christine at some point and she said it was just such a blessing.

And when she said that, number one, I think she meant it like, I think sometimes we're all thinking about the beginning of these episodes and did they really mean it?

And was there enough drama and stuff like that to make them worried about it?

And she said it was such a blessing, the wedding day and all of the things.

I think she really, she seemed really genuine.

That was when she had that pretty flower in her hair.

And then she referred to it as like the ending of a chapter.

And I thought that was kind of interesting because it is a chapter in their lives.

And this then opens our door to the next chapter, which as we know, is going to be drastically different.

So she wasn't saying that in a negative way.

She was saying it as she was kind of excited for this new start, but as we know.

And from a storytelling perspective, she is a character like doing some foreshadowing to what is going to happen actually, which is funny like that.

They kept it in because knowing what we do know, it definitely is the end of a chapter for them.

And the way that she chose to phrase it in that way as like a happy accident happy.

Surprise again.

No, it is happy accident.

I was trying.

To call.

Hey hey, fact checkers slash statistics folks that are, as we know, somewhere tracking all of this behind the scenes.

We have now 2 Bob Ross mentions in the episodes, and we'd like to know how many we end up with.

Two please.

Thank you.

Please and thank you.

Kody walks each of his wives out from the celebration as they've indicated to him that they're ready to go.

I believe he starts with Janelle and then Christine, and then when it comes to Meri, he's walking her out.

And Robyn says like, oh, I saw them and I wanted to scurry, but then I didn't have a chance or whatever.

And like, they had a little moment.

Robyn and Meri, where did you?

Believe she was trying to scurry.

Well, I mean, I don't know, it was I have no reason to believe anything, but they have like a welcome and a love you moment like between them, which seemed really cute.

I mean, they both got VE clamped or Robyn pretended to cry.

Who knows what the situation was, but they both were, you know, like when talking about it in retrospect in their interviews were both emotional.

Like, it was a cute moment and it was really a welcome to the family thing.

And I think Meri really was trying to be so optimistic and leaning into this opportunity to have a sister, wife who is truly a friend and someone to build a life with.

And those moments do come through.

They actually do.

Well, and Meri said.

So they kind of at the end of it, maybe each wife gives like her vision of the future did that kind of seem like what they were doing.

And Meri said that she truly believed that these girls are my best friends and she can't wait to see what's next.

And I, I think you're right.

I think that was genuine, right?

Now I don't know if I believe Meri when she says that.

I think in the context of after the wedding, I think they all had optimism and hope for how this could all go true before the wedding, I don't know.

When Meri does say that there are, but she's like, these are my best friends.

I made sure to pay attention to Janelle and Janelle's eyes just kind of moved to the left and stared off like Janelle was not making a frowny face.

She wasn't making a bad face, but she had a like she was listening to Meri talk.

And then Meri said we are best friends and Janelle just kind of.

And I'm like, OK, well, I'm not so sure that that feeling is.

I don't know that everyone feels like that.

And, you know, maybe Meri's not the one to actually be saying it, too.

Well, so got to before that, actually, Christine started it off and she said she was so looking forward to all five of them.

Yeah, in a big house.

One together house.

And in this in the one big house, but with their separate quarters, yeah, that's how she and I was like, OK, so she did want everybody together in the same house back.

Yes.

OK.

She wanted it to stay that way, which marking that note, by the way.

And then Janelle, I think when she maybe like, gave her vision of the future, she just said, yeah, I'm just looking forward to it being all five of us.

Or like hers was not as inspirational or motivational or like hopeful for the future.

Christine's moment was definitely a highlight though, because of what that means for the future when the opportunity for them to all live in a big home in separate quarters.

Is she in that same state of mind?

Based on what we're saying right now, you can probably assume no, she is not.

She was not.

She's absolutely adamantly opposed.

So at the end of the day, and and I was trying to listen to her while she was saying that, like, does she sound like she's full of shit?

Like is she lying?

But I feel like she was just stating that she hopes that they're all like in the same situation.

They're now just a bigger house.

I think that's exactly what she was saying.

And I think what changes like right now and and I think that this is true.

If that's where they went from this house that they're in and Robyn in the separate house, right, to a bigger house with all of them together, I think that their relationships and the way Kody divided up his time and the way all of these things happened would have been dramatically different, right?

But because they went into separate homes, that's when everything changed.

And so now she doesn't want to live with these other people because she hates that, you know, like she doesn't want to live with these people.

But if they just done it immediately right then I think they could have.

I think they could have potentially kept up even with the interesting Robyn dynamic coming in.

Yeah, if they'd all been living under the same roof, the same 4 walls with their separate spaces.

But he didn't have to go far to be separate like.

Yeah.

Game changer for that, yeah, you know, in.

The next season we see circumstances happen where they are, where they elect to move and they find themselves in separate homes and there's just kind of this like toss up of their whole life in a sense.

So that, you know, that's a complication that we'll get to in the future and and live through that journey with them.

But or observe that journey.

We're not gonna live through it.

I live through it once already.

Now we're choosing to go back and live with the.

Like, I'll be like, Meri, you're such a packing Nazi.

She's putting my stuff in EU Haul.

And a tooth puller.

And a.

Tooth puller, yes.

God, what would we do without you?

Oh, Meri, we all need Meri.

Yeah, that would have produced such a different outcome if they had found a living arrangement that was like that.

But can't we all and in our own families and in our own lives, go back and pinpoint moments that were, you know, changing pieces?

Like I can't they are just humans.

I should maybe try to remind myself like of course we all make choices our.

Show would be so boring if we were just like, let's think about it from their perspective, no?

I mean, you're right.

Like I just thought for a second I should pretend like we cared.

And, you know, Amen.

If we'd view them as people, then there's that thing.

Look, we've all fucked up a time or two, OK?

I'm just, I'm not saying that we haven't also fucked up and some other things happen in our Life, OK?

I am just saying that they chose to put it on television, which is why we are sitting here judging them.

I guess that's the more clear way to explain that.

Well, maybe someday my accidents will be on TV and then everyone can talk about me.

I you know I will do that when it does and you know, I'm excited for it.

I don't know who will set up a microphone or record it on a computer for me if you're not here, but I'll figure out a way.

Oh, you'll figure out a way.

You'll be there.

You'll be there with me.

The footage will also contain your accidents.

I love how I'm saying accidents like will be in Depends or something I think.

Our Oh my God, Can you imagine us from like the old folks home podcasting about all of our our younger in the day trips?

Hannigans like oops I shit my pants again Oh my God.

We really won't give a fuck by then.

I mean, not like we keep much private now anyway, but we will not give a fall.

Not one, not one now.

Fucks to give.

OK, fucks to give.

Fucks to give.

Mustard seed and shit stain The place that we are never prepared to be is looking at our own mustard seed and shit stains from this episode.

Let's start with shit stains this week.

My shit stain this week is going to be I'm going to go a little creative, I'm going to go a little outside the box and I'm going to give Meri a shit stain because I think that Meri in this situation with Robyn getting married, should have volunteered more to help her on the day off.

I think she should have been like, girl, I got you.

I'll take the kids, I'll do whatever, I'll be there, I'll drive them.

I'll do what?

Not because what?

She had to get her hair done and her nails and well, I guess she did have to be the photo Nazi, but clearly there had to be people to take photos of so she could have waited and done these things.

And so I know it might be unpopular, I might get some hate mail, but I'm giving Meri the shit stain this week.

Who's your shit stain?

Because I don't really think it's fair to give Robyn a shit stain on her wedding day.

You know, as much as I was really looking for an opportunity to because he's never aware of what the fuck is going on with anyone.

I am going to give Kody Brown the shit stain because this is the moment where he should know exactly how to keep all of these women happy and you can just tell already he's going to fuck it up miserably.

Amen.

So he hasn't yet fucked up the move in the wrong houses and all that stuff.

Like, we do know that's coming, but it's more so about the fact that he still doesn't understand what's going to keep this family together.

Plus he only had one real task to do other than show up and he.

Well, that should have been my biggest 1, you know?

So yeah, he's more than deserving of the shit stain, as usual.

And my mustard seed.

I feel like my mustard seed this week.

Who do I give it to?

That's crazy.

I can't believe I gave my shit stain to Meri.

I'm sorry, Meri, if you're listening.

Well, I kind of wanted Meri to be a contender for the colada ring or whatever, like, you know, moments, but.

So you should get.

You take that, you take that.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess I do believe Meri initiated the purchase of that ring and understood the tradition.

She did.

And I think what I really liked about it was that it was so known that that's what it was, right?

Because Robyn had an instantaneous cry about it.

So it was just like, this is a known, you know, thing that we.

So I do think that was very thoughtful and definitely made Robyn feel like a part of the family.

So I, you know, interesting that one.

I don't know, ladies and gentlemen, tell us, has that happened before that one of us has them as the shit stain and the other one has them as a mustard seed?

Because I could see it happening.

Well, I know and I and that, you know, that is a great reason to give her a mustard seed.

I am being controversial today and I'm going to give my mustard seed to Robyn because it is her wedding day and but that's only 10 percent, 90% God.

There's percentiles being weighed now.

Well, we're not gonna oh, yeah, we can't ask that.

We can't ask that yet.

But 90% because she was willing to and didn't even seem to have a problem with in any of the footage we saw change into this brown dress and take photos with the other wives.

I mean, if it was my wedding day, would I want to change into some brown dress and look like everybody else to take a photo?

Probably not.

And you gave her some flowers earlier.

And so now I'm giving her my mustard seed.

Wow.

Wow, I really gave Robyn that seed.

Oh yeah.

EW, gross.

EW.

If you could see what he just did, EW.

It's disgusting.

Yeah.

OK, well that's great.

Interesting.

You know, we're really throwing things around with shit stain and mustard seed.

Yeah, or shattering insane.

Listen, you know people care and we care.

Right.

So our keep sweet moment this week is from a comment on our Season 1 episode 6.

A Fourth Wife to be is the title of the episode and it just came out this week.

And Andrea left us a comment on the episode that says so good.

Love the elaborative discussion and the frankness of it all.

And I think that is great.

Now in her, in her comment, she writes elaborative.

And then there's parentheses with word question mark, like it's elaborative, a real word.

And I'm going to say I understood what you meant.

I'm going to give it to you.

We are elaborative and we do discuss.

So it is an elaborative discussion.

The two things we do best elaborate and discuss.

That's why we're here, folks.

That's why we're here.

Right, like if anyone's going to take over an hour to tell you about a 22 minute episode, it's probably us.

So appreciate that.

Andrea, thank you so much for the kind words.

We love the five star reviews.

We love all of the positive comments.

Thank you for the love.

Our next episode is going to be the quasi season finale where they do a Sister Wives interview, I believe.

And then after that, there's one more episode where it's Kody and Robyn going on their honeymoon, which I have not seen.

I've always just skipped over it because I was like, why the fuck would I want to watch that?

So this is going to be very interesting and hopefully next week we'll have some tidbits from these conversations that they're having post wedding, post whatever.

It's kind of like this, like I said, like the season finale.

I feel like next week is going to be like they're doing these interviews back and forth and we're like bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

Like that's what I think is going to happen.

Just if I was to predict.

Amen, Amen.

There'll be a lot of shit stains and maybe a few mustard seeds.

And special shout out once again, reminder about Janelle's window in that mini valley.

We're just going to give it to her right now.

Random moment.

Janelle's window.

We love you and we love you Janelle.

Sorry about the shit talk.

We love you Janelle.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

All right, signing off.

Have a good day everybody.

See you later.

See you.
