Speaker 1: Hello, Anna, Welcome to Reality t the Kren Podcast. My
name is Deelia and I'm one of your co hosts.
I'm here with my daughter in law, the beautiful, the voluptous,
the gorgeous, bea dressed Please, we are here to talk
sister Wine. Honey. This is the run up to the Catfish,
and I have to tell you I got so excited
watching this episode because the preview at the end of
this episode for the next episode, I saw that the
Browns were in Alaska yabbage and I saw Mary crying
about bringing a demonic force into this family. And it's
the Catfish and it starts next week. Oh my god,
I'm so excited. Now, before we get into the recap
of this episode, we do have to issue you a
very stern disclaimer. Please Batch, please hide your wife and
hide those kids. Throw them in a dumpster. This isn't
a Reverend podcast where we say bad words. We are

Speaker 2: Get out of here, you little baby.
Speaker 1: You might want to find yourself another dumpster. But if
you're ready to go to a very awkward adoption party
for the Browns. Then welcome to this dumpster.

Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Before we get into this recap, Beatrice, of course, I
have to ask you whether you had any thoughts and
feelings after watching this episode.
Speaker 2: I feel like, my takeaway is gonna be really generic
this week. It's just that portrait is weird. Every time
I see it.
Speaker 1: It's just creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Robin saying like, I wanted to create a
moment that didn't exist, but it does now.
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I wanted to supplant the wife who
was in the portrait. Now, this is what I actually
wanted to get some clarity on, because I had always
heard that Robin had taken a picture from Christine that
already existed and then created when they just put her
kids in and inserted Cody, and voila, this was the
new portrait. Yeah, but when she went and saw the artist, like,
she had the cutouts of her kids and she had
a couple of pictures, So I didn't see the original
portrait from Christine or the original picture.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was a very brief moment. She did slide
a picture of Christine and Cody, and it was the
picture with Cody as the glasses and three of their
kids and Christine's like in the background, she's cropped out,
so it was her there and you saw a little
glose in it.
Speaker 1: I must have missed it. Yeah, it was very, very
brief okay, because I thought Robin was actually collaborating with
that artist to create it. Oh yeah, she just straight
up stole she toltally staking the pictures. Okay, Oh my god.
Yeah that's beautiful. Okay, So my takeaway has nothing to
do with the episode. It's like everything that I'm seeing
on the subreddits. Oh my god, there's some stuff going
down with Leon still. Yeah. There's also a post I
guess that Mary made. It was like a really annoying
post about how she's moving away from certain chapters in
her life and she's walking away from her business and
from some friendships, and I have you read it, but
it was so fucking long and it said virtually nothing
as usual, just all that motivational therapy speak that Mary uses.
But at the end of the day, there was a
vibration underneath it all that felt like Mary has had
a fall out with some of her friends, and I
wanted to ask everybody what we think about that, and
also that she's walking away from a business. Now, this
can either be lularoaum, it could be worthy up, it
could be the B and B. Yeah, what do we
think it is?
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like it's worthy of probably, but
I don't know, Like in the comment underneath it, like
it was a lot of worthy of speak, So maybe
this is her just setting it up, Like I'm gonna
get rid of the haunted B and B because nobody
stays there anymore.
Speaker 1: And I don't think she wants people to stay there anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like she closed it down right for renovations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think she's making renovations to her taste,
like to make it a home for her, so she's
gonna live in them. But actually I could be totally
wrong about that. Maybe she's making renovations for the BnB. So, like,
I don't know what business. To me, it should be
Lulaau for sure. Who the hell is buying Lularou?
Speaker 2: Yeah in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's ugly as fuck. Second, it is
overpriced yea, And third it is a toxic Mormon MLM
that people should not be contributing to correct, So I
would hope that it's that. But she built out that
guest house for her studio for her lular Oe business,
so like I'm curious.
Speaker 2: Well, we're never gonna know, because she's.
Speaker 1: Never gonna just say it. Oh my god, it's two
thousand words and she says virtually nothing. But then there
was the part about friendships too, Yeah, walking away from friendships.
Speaker 2: Well, like I want. She started the whole thing off
talking about, like, you know, my marriage ending wasn't the
end of my life, like it was just the beginning.
And then she like segued into the friendships and she
was like, friendships are like that too.
Speaker 3: Sometimes people come into your life for like.
Speaker 2: A season, and then they leave or whatever. And I'm like,
are you talking about jin?
Speaker 1: She talking about Robin?
Speaker 2: Well, didn't that just sell?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wish she would just say what the fuck she means?
Speaker 2: She never will.
Speaker 1: I hate all of this double speak. It's so duplicitous
and disingenuous to me. But I am still curious. I
don't think it's Jem because I think I just saw
a video of them together laughing. I think she's put
some stuff up on her Instagram with her and another friend.
I just don't know. Does anybody know out there what
any of this is about? If you do, you can
DM our girl Beatrice on Instagram. You can also drop
in the comments on YouTube or Patreon. We are set,
yeah for the information. Now, the other thing that I
wanted to talk about was Leon. But for this I
think we need to go uncensored.
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, let's do it all right? Okay, back to
the general pod, to the YouTube, and to all the
lovely raccoons. By the way, if you want to have
access to all of our truly uncensored thoughts and feelings,
you've got to be a patron, So go to patreon
dot com, Flash Reality TV, Cringe. All the stuff is there.
Would love to have you. Now, without further ado, let's
get into this week's recap of Sister Wives Season nine,
episode ten, and Tata told.
Speaker 2: The chaw hosts in the could a Sacha.
Speaker 1: In the culd a sack? Okay, take it away.
Speaker 2: So we start off with Robin and Cody and Dayton,
Aurora and Brianna. They're going up to Montana or whatever
because apparently they're gonna go and spend a couple weeks
I guess with Preston for visitation. And according to Robin,
if we are to believe her and her big Jaw,
they've never once taken the kids away from Preston. They've
never once restricted his access to them. He apparently allegedly
couldn't always take the kids for visitation every year, but
this year he's able to conveniently after the adoption, so
they're gonna go spend some time. But we hear from
like Cody and Robin a little bit how they're like
nervous of how the kids are gonna do on their
visit with them with Preston because it's been a couple
of years. I guess every time they have visited Preston
in the past, they come back home with what Cody
calls in a thousand yard stare, and they're a little
off and it takes a little while to like reintegrate
them into the family, which is bizarre. But then we
like check in with Aurora and Dayton, and both Aurora
and Dayton are actually like excited to see their dad.
Dayton in particular is like, I'm really really glad to
see him. It's been a couple of years, and he's
super excited, which just kind of gives way to the
theory that we.
Speaker 1: Have that, yeah, maybe he didn't want this. Dayton really
didn't want to be separated like that from his dad.
He did say, interestingly, I hope that my dad can
set aside the dramatics so we can just enjoy our
time together. And I'm like, huh, interesting what dramatics?
Speaker 2: Like what does that mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I'm wondering, like what their visits were like for
when they come home and they act all weird according
to Cody and Robin, I'm like, what do you mean?
How do they act weird? Are they questioning you? Are
they like back talking you?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: What's the weirdness?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't elaborate, so we just don't know.
Speaker 2: And then we also hear from Christine on the couch
about it, who says she sees the value and the
kids having a relationship with their biological father, but she's
a bit territorial about it, which I just thought was interesting.
I don't know, it just the whole situation just feels
weird to me.
Speaker 1: Feel lucky, there's a weird vibe about it. And also, Christine,
nobody needs your opinion on this. It doesn't concern you,
not at all.
Speaker 2: And then while the kids are up in Montana, we're
back in Vegas. We have the adults meeting at someone's
breakfast table and they're talking about planning the adoption party.
Speaker 1: There's always got to be a party. And it's always
always got to be a Brown family celebration. I swear
to God, it's just to create content. It's just to
keep the show going. And apparently the kids are sick
of it as well. I think Janelle says something like,
oh my god, my kids are.
Speaker 2: Like again, wouldn't you be yes, I'd be so over this.
And it's always like such a production and everybody's stressed.
Speaker 1: Out about something and a happy event. It's so much.
Speaker 2: Chaos and it's like I don't like I don't want
to deal with it. And so while they're planning for
this stupid party, you know, Robin is under the impression
that she wants it to be a nace, fancy Sunday
dinner type of thing. She's got the napkins, she's got
the plates, she's got the tablecloths, she wants everybody to
dress nice. It's gonna be a nice, fancy party. And
Cody's like, well, what about I barbecue some chicken wing? Right?
Can we have some like hot dogs and maybe some
cores light or whatever and have it be like a
trashy party. And Robin gets kind of triggered by that
because she's like, we talked about this, we had a
conversation Cody and she starts arguing with him in front
of the other wives, and the other wives are just
kind of sitting there like snickering or whatever. But on
the couch they confront Robin about it and they're like, man,
we've never seen you mouth off to Cody this much
as much as you are right now during your pregnancy,
and she's like, yeah, you know, hah whatever.
Speaker 1: I did feel it was performative. I do think it's
something that Robin tends to do so that she can
give the appearance that she's one of them. I'm a
wife just like you. I get mad at Cody too,
but I don't think it's actually real, And I think
Cody is just humoring her and playing along with her,
and it's not a big deal for me.
Speaker 2: I felt like there was some semblance of it being real,
like they were having a little bit of an argument,
But the thing is, like, it's not as caustic as
any of the arguments that he has with Mary Christine
or even Janell like, and that's the difference. I think
It's like why when Cody and Robin argue, they're like
playful jabs or whatever, because they love each other, and
he respects Robin ultimately, but when it's Christine and him arguing,
for example, or even Mary and him, like he hates.
Speaker 1: Them, Yeah, he does not give up.
Speaker 2: No, not at all. I think that's what is really
glaring right there. And he tells everybody not to get
their panties in a bunch, and Robin's like, let's not
talk about p and ees.
Speaker 1: Which I think Janelle appreciates because she doesn't really like
that kind of talk anyway. Remember when she walked out
of their polygamous dinner with those weirdos up in Wyoming
or Montana or wherever, Like, she doesn't like talk like that.
So she had a lot of respect for Robin putting
down that boundary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which was interesting to see.
Speaker 1: Because I think Janelle hates Robin.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think Christine is trying so hard to befriend
Robin because she thinks that's her way to get to Cody.
But I think Christine hates Robin. I think the only
one who maybe likes Robin is Mary, but even that
is starting to fizzle because of course she's in the
process of getting catfish right now, so she's losing her
connection with everybody in the family, including Robin.
Speaker 2: And then we shift gears and there's a lot of
like bopping back and forth between various places in this episode.
So we're at Robin's house, of course, and we're in
some weird guest bedroom and she's going through family photos
and stuff, and she's talking about how her and Cody
want to do some things that are sweet for the kids.
They want to get some plaques made with their pictures
and the family pictures, and they have some gifts and stuff.
And then Robin of course has her little special surprise
that she wants to do for Cody, which we'll find
out later in the episode, is that weird creepy portrait.
So while they're looking through photos, looking through baby photos
of Dayton, Aurora, and Brianna, Cody Waltz's in and he's
looking through them and he gets a little misty eyed,
and he's like, just missed out.
Speaker 3: On so many years, missed out on so many times,
so much time with them. Yeah, and I just I
can't feel any kind of like genuine human emotion for that.
Speaker 1: So what is he doing them? Like, what are we
doing right now? Are we doing this for the cameras?
Is he doing it because he wants everybody to believe
that he's such a good guy and that he really
loves these kids. Maybe, or is he having a genuine
emotion about not being in Robin's kids' lives all those years.
I just like, I just can't fathom that. I can't either.
Speaker 2: And he also brought up his own kids too, Like
when he was looking through old photos of Logan and
Leon and Hunter and all of the older kids, He's like, yeah,
if you put all their baby pictures in front of me,
I can tell you who is who. And then he
shifts to Robin's kids, and I'm like, are you trying
to make a comparison about how you were working all
the time with your older kids and you missed out
on all of their baby times and then you also
missed out on the baby years with Robin's kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. It was a bizarre scene, and
I just kept thinking about how my husband has offered
to adopt you. Sorry, I know your dad watches this podcast,
but my husband is like, I will adopt you. I
love you. But he's not crying about it. No, he's
not thinking about it.
Speaker 2: I will actually be creeped out all the years.
Speaker 1: Wasted dive with the gitties that he didn't have access
to you when you were a kid. It's just kind
of strange, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I would be so creeped out.
Speaker 1: Oh I wish I could have been in your life.
That would be strange.
Speaker 2: Okay, never coming over ever again, kidding. And then we
go over to Christine's house and we're at her Moonscape backyard,
the horrible, ugly backyard that's not finished.
Speaker 1: Compare and contrast with what Robin's rocking with her gorgeous backyard.
Speaker 2: So we have rob Christine's shitty ass backyard. She's meeting
with some cement guys or whatever. They're going to pour
a beautiful concrete slab in that moonscape backyard. And I
will give Christine credit, this is kind of a sweet
thing to do. She's gonna pour this slab in her
backyard where everybody in the family is gonna put their handprints,
gonna etch their names in it, and it's gonna be
like a big thing commemorating the whole family and celebrating
the adoption of dayton Or and Brianna. And she tells
the story about how they actually did this in Wyoming
with a lot of their older kids, and when they
left Wyoming it was a bit bittersweet. They've come back
to visit that little concrete slab a few times after that,
but since Robin wasn't there, you know, I guess it
doesn't mean anything. So we got to make a new
one where we can include Robin and her kids into it.
And I'm just thinking, like the whole time while we're
watching this concrete segment, I'm just like, you did all
this and.
Speaker 1: Then you moved to Flagstaff, Like that is so fucking
We haven't even gotten to the time capsule, which is
another Brown family celebration that's that we're gonna have to do.
I'm watching this and I'm just thinking about the effort
that Christine is making to prove to Cody that she
loves this family, yeah, and that he can trust her,
because remember when they were in Galveston, he like, can't
trust her, And if I can't trust you, I can't
bang you. And all Christine wants is that intimacy. And
so the gateway to intimacy with Cody is for him
to trust her by knowing that she supports the family.
So now this is why I think, this is why
she's doing this. I agree to demonstrate that she's down
for the family. So can we bang or something real?
Maybe tonight? What could you like have a look at
see what I got going on?
Speaker 2: Can you just like put a finger in what? And
I can soak and I can.
Speaker 1: Anything.
Speaker 2: God, we can move the bed and you don't have
to do anything. But like, for real, that's what she's doing. Yes,
And I thought the exact same thing, like, how can
Robin say nowadays that like the family didn't like her
and didn't make any effort to include her when we did.
Speaker 1: All for her children, We did all of this.
Speaker 2: We had Janelle, for God's sakes, crying in the courtroom
about the adoption, Like everybody cared about you and your
fucking kids.
Speaker 4: Bitch, not anymore though, No, for real, now you're dead
to us, just like that concrete slab God.
Speaker 2: And then Robin's pregnant ass meets with a portrait sketch
artist at some Starbucks. Mm hmm, and she says, this
guy has a thick accent, but I understood him perfectly. Fine, Yeah,
but she meets with him. He's from Bulgaria or whatever.
She has pictures of the family, and she wants to
create a sketch, a moment in time, if you will,
of Cody with her kids as babies, and she meets
with him. The guy's like, oh, these pictures a beautiful
to perfect and then he's like, I'll draw it. It'll
be great. And Robin's super excited about it because it's
gonna be a surprise ultimately to Cody and the rest
of the family. It's really for him and nobody else,
But okay, for me, I'd be like, why didn't you
just do like a sketch of the whole family, like
with all of the kids, his babies and stuff, and
then include like Dayton Orra and Brianna as like part
of the family. It's kind of weird to me to
just kind of isolate them with Cody when he has
all these other children.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like it's symbolic of something
more like again, this idea of usurping the throne, Like
this is mine now, this is my family. You've been
here from the beginning. I'm the legal wife. This is
what it feels like to me, wrapped up in this
beautiful gesture that she's making for Cody, that poor artist. Honestly,
by the way, beautiful eyes, totally gorgeousized nice person. Yeah,
he's got a bit of a European accent or whatever.
And she's like, can you understand English though, and he's like,
I can understand English perfectly. Yeah, just have a bit
of an accent. God weirdo for real. But anyway, yeah,
that was a strange meeting.
Speaker 2: It was very weird. And then she had to explain
like what plural marriage was, and I'm just like please,
because of.
Speaker 1: Course, shut up. He's like, oh, lucky man, four wives.
Speaker 2: Oh god. I wonder how Robin actually felt like that
in the moment about that comment, because if she really
is like, no, I'm the best wife. I'm the one
that he favors, like, and this guy's like, oh yeah,
all that pussy, Oh god.
Speaker 1: Oh god.
Speaker 2: And then we have Janelle meeting with some cake shop owners.
Speaker 1: Who are probably gay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh, we love a gay bakery, we do.
I love it a gay carey. Well, like the name
of it is, Showboy Bakery is great, Jassams. But they're getting,
of course, a tree cake made out of cupcakes and
stuff because.
Speaker 3: The tree theme is very important, right, it's very important
symbolic for our family.
Speaker 2: And they want to out of carrot cake and angel
food cake, which I just I wouldn't have picked that
myself personally, but whatever. And we have Cody going to
some trophy shop to pick up the plaques that he
made for Dayton, Aurora, and Brianna, And basically these plaques
are to commemory them being in the family. It's like
a picture of each of the kids and then a
picture of each of the kids with Cody, and then
a picture of the kids with the whole family, and Cody,
in his words, says he wanted it to be as
expensive and as big and beautiful as possible. And again,
I'm just like, why are you doing this when you
have all these other kids?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I would feel so jealous. I would as well,
especially if at this point these kids aren't actually seeing
Cody as regularly as they used to, even though they're
all living in the call decible. Yeah, because at this
point he's already screwing with his schedule and favoring Robin.
And so now we're gonna have a party for these
punk ass kids waint blood for real, We're gonna have
to see them get gifts and stuff like that, while
we just sit in the back and cry.
Speaker 2: And they get like so many things. Like I understand
doing a big family party, I guess, like I think
that that's kind of sweet in it of itself, But
then you have the plaques and I'm like, Okay, that's
that's fine. But then you have other gifts, and then
you have like jewelry, and then you have like cakes,
and then you have like all of this theatrics for this,
and you're spending so much money on this part of
the family. I was just wondering, like, did Christine have
to coupon extra hard.
Speaker 1: To get groceries, no vacation for you?
Speaker 2: Like did Janelle have to do extra hours at her
job to afford some of her bills and stuff? Like,
I don't know. It just felt really weird to me.
So let me go back to Christine's house in her
Moonscape backyard. We have the whole family there because they're
going to put their handprints in the concrete. They pour
the concrete slab, they draw a really ugly circular tree,
really bad honey, and all of the kids were gonna
put their hands in the tree, and Mary was gonna
etch in their names, and then the adults were gonna
put their feet in there, something in their hands, and
they were gonna etche their names or whatever.
Speaker 1: It is too much, it was so much. It was
too much, and it was poorly executed. It was not
thought through. It takes twenty minutes for that concrete to
concretise and solidify, and so you got these kids, in particular,
truly just shrieking on a plank trying to get her
little hand in the concrete without falling over. And it's
just a debacle, like everything that the Browns stew. Nobody's
organizing anything.
Speaker 2: This is just for show, and like Cody is getting frustrated,
and I'm kind of understanding of that because I would
get frustrated too, because you're out in the fucking Vegas
heat and her moonscape, and of course the concrete's drying
faster than they anticipated because it's fucking concrete.
Speaker 1: It's hands, and then Mary's gotta waddle over there and
she's got to write the names down under twenty five
people's hand print.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, very much. So I'm just like, you could
have done anything else he could have done, like plaster
or something or like little paint we could paint on
a little.
Speaker 1: Piece of paper, yeah, or like I'm to the side
of your house or something like that. Yep, would have
been fine.
Speaker 2: But whatever, classic chows. And then it's the day.
Speaker 1: Of you even know if they know what that means,
because we really haven't explained it yet.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't get there, but it is right after this.
Speaker 1: Actually, okay, all right.
Speaker 2: I guess Cody's brother one of them past, Curtis, was
it Curtis couldn't pronounce chaos.
Speaker 1: Well, they said he was homeschooled. Oh yeah, I forgot equals.
He was dumb as hell everybody who's I'm not saying that,
but I think that's what they were saying. Yeah, they
said because he was homeschooled, he couldn't say chaos. He
said chows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so now that's what they all say.
Speaker 1: Brown family chouse.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not saying homeschooled kids are dumb at all.
I'm not saying that, but that's what they were saying.
Speaker 2: That's what they were implying. Yes, So then it's the
day of the anticipated adoption party. We have everybody preparing
for it, snory, we have everybody preparing for it, except
for Cody and Robin.
Speaker 1: Basically they're fucking or something. I guess they're doing.
Speaker 2: I guess they're fucking, they're doing whatever. And of course
the kids are just sitting in their rooms tw twiddling
their thumbs and waiting to get ready and stuff because
it's not until five pm.
Speaker 1: Well, they're preparing their gifts for Quody and for Mary. Yeah,
because Cody's get in the rolex or something, an expensive watch,
and Mary's getting a diamond necklace with very small diamonds
to signify each of Robin's kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because she's sacrificed so we could get adobdd. But yeah,
so everybody's preparing except for that part of the family.
We have Mary and Janelle and Christine all cooking, making
all of the food. Where's Cody nowhere to be found.
We have the cake arriving, and it's cute.
Speaker 1: It's a cute cake.
Speaker 2: I don't want to shoot on the cake.
Speaker 1: Did a great job with the tree cake.
Speaker 2: Job, given the inspiration that they had to go off
of with a tree cake. And we're setting up the
tables with the purple tablecloths and the white plates and everything,
and we go and see the little gifts that they
have for everybody. And I'm wondering if anybody knows the
brand of watch that Cody was obsessed with, because they
blurted out on TV. But according to Aurora or whatever,
it's a very it's a very fancy designer brand that
he likes. And I want to know what it is, yeah,
because I don't know if it didn't look like.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a I don't know watches, so
look kind of cheap.
Speaker 2: But on the back of it they engraved daddy and
the day of the adoption.
Speaker 1: Creep little. I don't want to say anything, but I
read a lot of smutty romance books.
Speaker 2: What's the name daddy?
Speaker 1: A little bit? Yeah, a little bit, big Papa, big Papa, Daddy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just creepy, creepy. And then we have the
little necklace for Mary, and Aurora says that she wants
to give the necklace to Mary because Mary getting the
legal divorce was very important to her personally. She was
very clear to say that, and I'm like, okay, weird manipulation, whatever,
And then we hear from Mary on the couch, who
again is talking about the legal divorce and how it
was really hard on her, and how she was very
surprised by the emotions that she felt with the legal divorce,
and also she's got health issues.
Speaker 1: She seems to be taking every opportunity to really telegraph
to the audience that she's got mixed feelings about what
happened with the legal divorce and she's really been struggling.
And again, and I know I say this every week,
but this is because she's already engaging in an emotional
affair with Sam slash Jackie I think was her name, Yeah,
And so she's already checking out, and so she needs
to come up with a viable story that she'll be
able to offer to the audience to make it make sense.
And so this is how she's doing it by saying, Look,
I've had health issues and also like, I don't really
know how I feel about having to divorce Cody. I
feel bad.
Speaker 2: So you think she's doing all of this because she's
planning to leave Cody, and so she's just setting it up. Yes,
but ultimately it's going to blow up in her face,
and then she's going to be super ashamed about it. Yes, Yeah,
I could see it though, because it really is like
every episode in this season, like.
Speaker 1: Why aren't you more happy? Like, if you really did this,
if you really got the legal divorce so that we
could adopt the kids, and that was all that was
important to you, that's what you truly wanted, why wouldn't
you be more happy? I mean also, though, to play
Devil's advocate, if Cody really had told Mary, like, if
you do this, we can reconnect in our relationship and
I can start. Sorry, Padre, I forgot I was wearing
a I can start doing stuff to you again, you know.
So maybe she thought that that was gonna happen and
then it didn't happen, and so maybe she's upset about that.
But I personally believe that it has something to do
with the catfish at this time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right about it. And it's weird
because she wants everybody to know that she does think
about the kids with it, so she keeps bringing it
back to that she'd said in this segment after her
being surprised about her feelings about the divorce, She's like,
I just have to go to my happy place, though,
which is the kids. It's all about the kids, And I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, Okay, don't you mean your tub for real? I
think your happy place is your tub a vibrator or
something like what it's his ears, don't miss potry. Jeez, Sorry,
I gotta stop wearing these types of shirts too, because
we talk about the ranch. I forgot again. I please
forgive me.
Speaker 2: You're going to hell because I'm sorry. And so that
we're at the adoption party and everybody's in their Sunday best,
everybody looks very dapper and pretty whatever. Cody gives some
dumb speech. He says he wants to bless the kids
according to their religion, and he wants to also spiritually
seal them into the family. And so then he has
him and a couple other of the male family members. Weird,
well that's part of the I don't care, I know,
but they have a couple of the male family.
Speaker 1: You know, Robin's freaky ass stepdad was there, hands on
Dayton and all the Aurora and Brianna and like, why
is that guy there?
Speaker 2: Well, and I'm like, why are we doing this religious blessing?
If we know now from Christine's book that this was
the time where you guys stopped caring about your religion.
So now we're doing a spiritual ceiling, okay, whenever, So
he seals them all out of the family for eu
trinity or whatever, so the way they can all live
on their planet together. After the blessing, Cody gives the
kids their plaques and both Brianna and Aurora start crying
about it. Aurora especially, it's so dramatic.
Speaker 1: Something about it enrages me. I don't know why, something
about when she cries like that it makes me mad.
Speaker 2: It makes me mad too.
Speaker 1: I wonder what sort of an animalistic, primitive reaction that
is to that sort of emotional instability.
Speaker 2: To me, it just feels really not genuine. But at
the same time, I'm like, I know, she's a teenage girls,
but I just it feels so weird. And to me,
it's like Robin injecting that into her.
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit like she's doing it to
gain favor from her mother, and also because Robin is
maybe coaching them a little bit on the things that
they're saying, and also like the emotion that they're showing. Yeah,
there's just something very odd about it. And I could
be totally wrong, and Aurora probably is just a delightful
young woman, But like, oh, I just have a weird
feeling about it.
Speaker 2: It just weirds me out in general. I just don't
like it. So he gives them their blacks, and then
the kids give their gifts. They give their gift to
Cody first, which is his daddy watch, and then they
give their gift to Mary, which is the little necklace
with the teeny tiny microscopic diamonds flex flex of diamonds.
And they have to explain it because Mary opens the
box and she's.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, a necklace, not a banana, but okay.
Speaker 2: And then we're always like, but that's supposed to represent
the three of us because of.
Speaker 1: Your suffer and also the past and the present.
Speaker 2: And Mary is like super stoic.
Speaker 1: Very flat and very flat, does not care.
Speaker 2: It seems.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to just say, can I get out
of here? I got someplace to be, honey, dude.
Speaker 2: If I was married, I'd be like, I'm pawning this. Yeah,
let me see if I can get some money so
I can visit.
Speaker 1: My mean at disney Land.
Speaker 2: Yes. And then, last, but certainly not least, we have
Robin gifting Cody the infamous portrait of him and the
three kids when they were little, dating with his thumbs up.
What's up with that laugh?
Speaker 1: It's just like, kid's super weird, kind of strained.
Speaker 2: But Robin starts sobbing, and then that's when she says,
I created a moment that didn't exist, but it does, know,
And Chanelle's like that was cool as heck, and Mary's like, yeah,
that was a very sweet gesture. But Christine doesn't say shit.
Speaker 1: She did not, And the reaction of the kids was
kind of a little bit over the top, like Logan going, wow,
that is really so awesome. I'm like, is it Isn't
it strange? Though, I'm wondering how many of those older
kids actually thought that was weird as fuck.
Speaker 2: I guarantee they all did. Yeah, I guarantee they all
thought it was weird. I think that they probably got
a talking to after their shitty reactions to Robin's first pregnancy,
and so now they're just being very theatrical for Robin's sake.
So I think it was all vake, because if I
was one of those older kids, I'd be like, that's
fucking weird as hell, dude.
Speaker 1: It's haunted straight up.
Speaker 2: That's so bizarre to me. I just nothing about it
feels sweet to me in any sense, it's.
Speaker 1: Like you're retconning. You're rewriting the history of this family,
and you didn't get the permission of the other wives
or the children before you did, so I imagine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you're also rewriting Dayton, Aurora, and Brianna's past.
Speaker 1: They have a dad.
Speaker 2: They have a dad, a physical dad, And yeah, okay,
if we're gonna make an argument like he couldn't take
care of him for whatever reason, he's supportive of the
fact that Cody adopted them, Okay, fine, but now you're
having them be a little babies.
Speaker 1: It's so strange.
Speaker 2: Cody was supposed to be the dad all along. It's
really weird. I just don't like it. And so then
we end the episode with everybody doing cheers out on
Christine's concrete slab and everybody's walking all over it, which
I was like, oh, yikes, okay, and then we get
to the preview for now next week's.
Speaker 1: Episode, which let's get into it.
Speaker 2: So we're taking a family vacation to Alaska, and this
is where everything falls apart.
Speaker 1: It's really good.
Speaker 2: We also have Robin and Cody before the Alaska trip
doing a gender ultrasound they're going to announce to everybody
on this trip the gender of the baby, but it's
going to be overshadowed by Mary dropping the catfish bomb.
Speaker 1: Is she dropping the catfish bomb? Is she dropping that
right now? Because I thought I remembered them, and obviously
we're gonna watch it next week and we're gonna recap it.
But I thought she was just telling them at the
dinner that she didn't know how long she was going
to be around, like she wasn't necessarily sure that she
was going to be hanging out with the family or
as involved with the family as she used to be.
I didn't think she mentioned the catfish. I could be
totally wrong. I probably am. But if she also mentions
the fact that she's been catfit, it's gonna be a
wild night.
Speaker 2: If I remember correctly, Yeah, she brings up both. If
I remember correctly, she's talking about like the idea. I
think she like frames it like I want to go
back to school or something like that, and they're like,
are you going to be leaving the family? And then
they we talk about the catfish. But it's in a
roundabout way because obviously it got leaked at the time
because it wasn't like that. It wasn't like Mary announcing
to the family and I'm seeing fam it was it
got leaked in the tabloids.
Speaker 1: Oh what happened? It is about to get real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Mary's crying in the preview like they
have no idea the kind of demon I summoned to
this family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about to get so good. And then of
course we've got season ten and eleven. Leon's going off, Yeah,
talking about Mary's upset at their.
Speaker 2: Mama's get crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1: Well is there anything else that we should say to
these beautiful raccoons before we get a bout attic here?
