Speaker 1: the gorgeous, bea dressed Please, we are here to talk
Speaker 1: sister Wine. Honey. This is the run up to the Catfish,
Speaker 1: and I have to tell you I got so excited
Speaker 1: watching this episode because the preview at the end of
Speaker 1: this episode for the next episode, I saw that the
Speaker 1: Browns were in Alaska yabbage and I saw Mary crying
Speaker 1: about bringing a demonic force into this family. And it's
Speaker 1: the Catfish and it starts next week. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Now, before we get into the recap
Speaker 1: of this episode, we do have to issue you a

Speaker 1: hide those kids. Throw them in a dumpster. This isn't

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