Speaker 1: before we get into our recap as usual, I just
Speaker 1: want to ask you what your thoughts and your feelings
Speaker 1: are about the episode that we just watched.
Speaker 4: I just find it interesting that so many of these
Speaker 4: brown kids go to college and then they drop out,
Speaker 4: like immediately.
Speaker 1: What's happening with that?
Speaker 4: And it's like really quick, like they literally just left
Speaker 4: for college, like I feel like a couple episodes ago. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and so they've probably only been in school for maybe
Speaker 4: a year. But like we already have Maddie dropping out,
Speaker 4: we got Mikelthy dropping out.
Speaker 2: I don't know if asmen is. I couldn't really tell you.
Speaker 1: Now it sounds like she's moving in with Robin's Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she can go to school as.
Speaker 4: Well, still stay in school. But I'm just like, why
Speaker 4: y'all dropping out?
Speaker 1: Though I don't know money.
Speaker 4: Maybe I was kind of wondering that, Like I wonder
Speaker 4: if the parents were like, hmm, can't afford tuition, so
Speaker 4: we already think you're gonna be a failure.
Speaker 1: Maybe just drop go work at a pawnshop. I don't
Speaker 1: have a takeaway. I was supremely bored. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: that's my takeaway. So I'm just here to snipe and
Speaker 1: be the little parrot. Yeah, make in trouble, all right. So,
Speaker 1: without further ado, let's get into our recap of season ten,
Speaker 1: episode to the Catfish season of Sister Wives.
Speaker 4: In te told pond shops and polygamy perks. Okay, well, amazing.
Speaker 4: So we begin the episode. It's three weeks after their
Speaker 4: family therapy session with Nancy discussing the catfish.
Speaker 1: That resulted in nothing.
Speaker 4: And literally nothing. It was kind of interesting the way
Speaker 4: that they were talking about it, because like Mary is saying,
Speaker 4: we're working through it, like we're getting through, we're trying
Speaker 4: to reconnect as a family and also as a couple.
Speaker 4: But she's not really saying that, but she's just like, yeah,
Speaker 4: we're working through It'll be all right. And then we
Speaker 4: hear from Cody who's like, I don't know what to think,
Speaker 4: I don't know what to feel, I don't know what
Speaker 4: to do in this situation. I'm just here right basically
Speaker 4: what Cody is saying. And we all know that behind
Speaker 4: the scenes, Cody is checked out from this. He's supremely
Speaker 4: betrayed and he's not working on anything with Mary.
Speaker 1: No, not at all. He can't stand her at all.
Speaker 4: And then Janelle, we hear from her saying that the
Speaker 4: real work is going to be coming back together as
Speaker 4: a family because obviously this caused a big rift and
Speaker 4: Mary feels like a square pig trying to fit herself
Speaker 4: in a round hole, so we have to work on
Speaker 4: bringing her back into the family. And it's just it's
Speaker 4: interesting watching this back because this really is like the
Speaker 4: crack and the foundation. I mean, obviously there were little
Speaker 4: fractures and stuff here and there, and like Cody was
Speaker 4: already favoring Robin, but Mary having an emotional affair with
Speaker 4: a man online really was, what done it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think it just brought it out into the forefront.
Speaker 1: And can you imagine being Mary, like taking such a
Speaker 1: a supreme chance with some rando online, some person that
Speaker 1: you think is a guy that you fall in love
Speaker 1: with according to the recordings that we've listened to, like
Speaker 1: she fell in love with Sam, and then to find
Speaker 1: out that you were talking to a woman, and then
Speaker 1: it gets leaked to the public, and then you have
Speaker 1: to go crawling back to the husband who alienated you
Speaker 1: in the first place, just so that you can stay
Speaker 1: in the family.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: God, what a terrible position to be in.
Speaker 4: And then we have to lie about the situation too,
Speaker 4: make herself out to be the victim in it and
Speaker 4: that she was targeted or whatever, because they don't want
Speaker 4: the real truth to come out, which is that her
Speaker 4: and Cody's relationship has been horrible, and you know, the
Speaker 4: family is actually really dysfunctional at this point in time,
Speaker 4: and Christine's addicted to opiates, and like, right, how many
Speaker 4: things happening in this family. They're trying to keep it
Speaker 4: under wraps, but it is falling apart before our eyes,
Speaker 4: Yes it is. And so after we gloss over the Catfish,
Speaker 4: which was such a big dil this season and the
Speaker 4: end of last season.
Speaker 1: Until the last season, Like, yeah, it is a huge
Speaker 1: deal that we need to be talking about more. It
Speaker 1: drives me crazy that we just keep it moving now
Speaker 1: onto Mickelty or whatever, going to Saint George, Utah.
Speaker 4: Literally, Cody's like there's a lot of changes happening in
Speaker 4: the family, like Mikeelty and Aspen are moving out, Like, Okay,
Speaker 4: nobody cares.
Speaker 1: Nobody cares, talk about the affair, talk about the banana
Speaker 1: in your wife's mouth.
Speaker 4: No for real though, But yeah, we quickly shift gears
Speaker 4: to Mikelty and Aspen in their apartment and they are
Speaker 4: basically sick of living with each other because Michelty is
Speaker 4: still like a child according to everybody, Like she doesn't
Speaker 4: want to be told what to do, and Aspen doesn't
Speaker 4: want to be a mother to any of her siblings,
Speaker 4: and she says that multiple times in this episode, which
Speaker 4: I did think was very poignant. I guess when she
Speaker 4: was living with McKelty, she was still taking on that
Speaker 4: mothering role, and you can even see it in their
Speaker 4: interactions in this episode. She's like telling Mickelty what to
Speaker 4: do and how to pack things and make sure you
Speaker 4: close the door, and make sure you do this, this
Speaker 4: and this, And I really felt for as been here
Speaker 4: as like another eldest daughter, Like that's really hard to
Speaker 4: stop managing other people. But she has been doing it
Speaker 4: her entire fucking life. And so mickelty is gonna move
Speaker 4: down to Saint George, Utah to live her dream of
Speaker 4: working at the pawn shop.
Speaker 1: Well, and before we got on recording, you had told
Speaker 1: me that your theory is that McKelty at this time,
Speaker 1: while she's in Vegas is actually talking to Tony probably,
Speaker 1: which is the only reason that she would want to
Speaker 1: move to Saint George, Utah.
Speaker 4: That's kind of what it feels like to me, Like
Speaker 4: she's dropping out of school, yeah, to go work at
Speaker 4: a pawn shop. And the family's like framing it like, no,
Speaker 4: it's actually good because she's gonna be working for a
Speaker 4: family friend and we'll kind of keep an eye on
Speaker 4: her even though she's a couple hours away. But to me,
Speaker 4: it feels like she dropped out of school for her
Speaker 4: men the professional chess player.
Speaker 1: Future professional chess player. I don't know that he was
Speaker 1: doing anything at this time. No, it's just kind of
Speaker 1: bizarre to me because for the last few seasons we've
Speaker 1: really focused on mckelte's education and her fashion career and
Speaker 1: how she wanted to move to New York and start
Speaker 1: a fashion line, and like this was a big part
Speaker 1: of her story, and all of a sudden, she's like, yeah, Yolo,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna move to the pawn shop. I'm going
Speaker 1: to work above a pown shop or a live above
Speaker 1: a pawn shop, and this is going to be my
Speaker 1: new life. And I'm like, Okay, well, what's really happening here.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering whether funds at this point are being allocated
Speaker 1: away from these families into Robin Cody's coffers.
Speaker 4: It kind of feels like that because if you think
Speaker 4: about how many kids they have in school right now,
Speaker 4: You've got Logan, You've got Hunter who's at the Air
Speaker 4: Force Academy, so maybe his education's being.
Speaker 1: Paid for I think so, yeah.
Speaker 2: But then you have.
Speaker 4: Leon who's going to some private school in.
Speaker 1: Utah funded entirely by Mary, so Cody's not paying for
Speaker 1: that at all.
Speaker 4: Right, But then you have Aspen in school, and then
Speaker 4: you have McKelty in school, and then you have Maddie
Speaker 4: in school, Like, that's a lot of kids to pay
Speaker 4: for tuition. And so if we know that the Browns
Speaker 4: are horrible with money and they're you know, up the
Speaker 4: ass in interest with this cul de sac and all
Speaker 4: these homes here.
Speaker 1: And also Robin and Cody are thieves.
Speaker 4: Totally totally, it's like it wouldn't be out of like
Speaker 4: the possibility that they talked to their kids and said, hey, look,
Speaker 4: I don't know anyway, we don't want you in school,
Speaker 4: you don't want to be in school, let's.
Speaker 1: Just drop out.
Speaker 4: I could see that, but it's pretty terrible like to
Speaker 4: do that as a parent, to be like, oh, we're
Speaker 4: going to set you up for success, but then just kidding.
Speaker 4: And it's weird how like Christine and Cody are kind
Speaker 4: of like, okay with McKelty working at a pawn shop
Speaker 4: and dropping out of school.
Speaker 1: They don't care about her.
Speaker 2: They don't at all.
Speaker 1: She really was the black sheep. I don't think Christine
Speaker 1: much liked McKelty, which is why she ponnd her off.
Speaker 1: No pun intended on Robin a lot. Yep, McKelty was
Speaker 1: spending her time over at Robin's because neither Cody nor
Speaker 1: Christine actually liked McKelty.
Speaker 2: That's what it feels like.
Speaker 4: And the way that they talk about her in this
Speaker 4: episode is like, well, you know, we thought when she
Speaker 4: moved to go to school, she would grow up and
Speaker 4: she would mature, but that didn't happen, and so we
Speaker 4: hope that when she goes to work at the fucking
Speaker 4: pawn shop that she'll finally grow up and become a
Speaker 4: mature adult. And I'm like, dude, she's like nineteen, give
Speaker 4: her a break, God have some patience. I was just
Speaker 4: like getting frustrated with it. But when we see McKelty
Speaker 4: and Aspen moving out, we hear from Aspen that she's
Speaker 4: actually moving back home and she's not going to be
Speaker 4: moving back in with Christine.
Speaker 1: This is what I want to talk to you about.
Speaker 4: She's going to be moving in with Robin. And according
Speaker 4: to Aspen, it's because her and Christine actually have started
Speaker 4: butting heads because Aspen has been a mother figure to
Speaker 4: all of the little kids, especially Christine's kids, and Christine
Speaker 4: didn't like that because she's the mom or whatever, and
Speaker 4: like a typical parent who parentifies their kids gets upset
Speaker 4: when the parentified kids act like parents. It's been causing
Speaker 4: some issues, and Aspen doesn't want to deal with that,
Speaker 4: she doesn't want to butt heads with her mom, doesn't
Speaker 4: want to mother the kids, so she's going to go
Speaker 4: live with Robin and mother her kids.
Speaker 2: So it just seems really weird to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was just wondering how that was showing
Speaker 1: up in the relationship, and what you're saying really rings true.
Speaker 1: The audacity of a parent like Christine to really so
Speaker 1: heavily on her child to take care of all of
Speaker 1: her other kids and then to have some kind of
Speaker 1: an issue when this child continues to do that because
Speaker 1: she was entrained and raised up to do that. Now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you want to be the mom
Speaker 1: and you want to be the last say like, that's
Speaker 1: just not how it works. And so big up to
Speaker 1: Aspen for being like, absolutely not. I'm not gonna live
Speaker 1: with you. You're unlive withable. Yeah, so I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: live with your ops. I go live with Robin and
Speaker 1: hang out with that hoe, and it's gonna be great
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna have to live with you after
Speaker 1: what you put me through.
Speaker 4: It's actually really interesting and it's interesting how Robin is
Speaker 4: kind of like this weird like safe place for some
Speaker 4: of these kids, like Rie's Christine's kids specifically. And it's
Speaker 4: interesting too that we've had multiple kids from Christine's like
Speaker 4: move out of her home or like not want to
Speaker 4: be around her, Like we had Michelt, we had Aspen,
Speaker 4: and we had Isabel who needed to live wanted to
Speaker 4: live with Mary exactly. And so I'm just like, this
Speaker 4: actually made me question Christine as a mom a little bit,
Speaker 4: because I'm like, hmmm, what are you doing inside of
Speaker 4: the house, what are you doing? And like, from the outside,
Speaker 4: it looks like Christine is pretty caring and loving and nurturing,
Speaker 4: and she did have a lot on her plate. I
Speaker 4: will give her credit to them, Like she did have
Speaker 4: to mother all of these kids by herself. That is
Speaker 4: a lot, and she had to homeschool and she was
Speaker 4: in a terrible marriage, and I get it. But I'm
Speaker 4: just wondering why so many of her kids have been
Speaker 4: like fuck you.
Speaker 1: Mom, even Gwendolen kind of yeah, a little bit, even Gwendolen.
Speaker 2: So I'm just like, what's going on there?
Speaker 1: Yep, I don't know, curious.
Speaker 4: I'm sus about it me too, And so Robin says,
Speaker 4: she's you know, excited to have ass been live with
Speaker 4: her because she wants to get to know her better.
Speaker 4: But she's a little nervous because she's never had an
Speaker 4: adult kid, much less a teenager live in her home,
Speaker 4: and she doesn't want to step on Christine's toes and
Speaker 4: on the couch. Robin says something to Christine directly, like,
Speaker 4: you know, I just want to make sure that this
Speaker 4: won't be an issue for you, and I don't want
Speaker 4: it to cause like a rift between us, and Christine's like, oh,
Speaker 4: it will be an issue. But I'm like, okay, then
Speaker 4: you're gonna turn this around as this is a polygamy
Speaker 4: perk because the kids can go to whatever sister wife
Speaker 4: they want and they still have a mom figure around.
Speaker 4: But Christine's like, no, I'm going to have an issue
Speaker 4: wrote with it because you're going to get closer to
Speaker 4: my kid than I am.
Speaker 1: I kind of respected Robin's position on it. She's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to be careful because this is your child,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, I want to open up
Speaker 1: my house to all of our children because I want
Speaker 1: to be their mom too.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 1: So it would be a difficult situation for Robin to
Speaker 1: be in and it does seem in alignment with Christine
Speaker 1: that she would be bitter about it because she's already
Speaker 1: so jealous of Robin anyway in terms of Cody. But
Speaker 1: now you're going to take my kids too, Well.
Speaker 2: Girl, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Be a better parent than Christine?
Speaker 4: Like look in the mirror, and I can understand why
Speaker 4: it would be frustrating, because you know, you're looking at
Speaker 4: yourself like what am I doing wrong?
Speaker 1: But you're obviously doing something right.
Speaker 4: I don't know. It just seemed really weird to me.
Speaker 4: So then we shift gears. We go to Janelle's house
Speaker 4: where we have Garrison having a conversation with Janelle and
Speaker 4: Cody about joining the National Guard. Garrison is seventeen at
Speaker 4: this point, and he's pretty dead set about going into
Speaker 4: the military. The family talks about how this is something
Speaker 4: that he has wanted for quite some time, but the
Speaker 4: way in which they talk about it and they talk
Speaker 4: about the National Guard kind of bothers. How you you
Speaker 4: it just it just feels like they're kind of shitting
Speaker 4: on his Like dream, I understand the parental concern of like,
Speaker 4: I don't want my kid to get shipped out to
Speaker 4: war and die. I get that that's completely fair and valid.
Speaker 4: Every parent feels like that when they have a kid
Speaker 4: that wants to join the military. That's fine, But like
Speaker 4: Janelle says something like, you know, he's seventeen, he thinks
Speaker 4: he's invincible. He just doesn't know the real world. Blah
Speaker 4: blah blah. But I was just watching this and I
Speaker 4: was thinking about my stepsister's husband, who has always been
Speaker 4: a diehard military dude. Like he tried to get out
Speaker 4: of the military at one point and like live as
Speaker 4: a civilian and he could not hack it. He was
Speaker 4: like going crazy. Ended up joining the Army National Guard
Speaker 4: again because he just couldn't deal with not being in
Speaker 4: the military. I think there's some people that really feel
Speaker 4: called to that and like want to go into that.
Speaker 4: I think it's a really honorable thing to do that.
Speaker 4: So I just felt like Cody and Janelle were trying
Speaker 4: to talk him out of it, and I'm just like,
Speaker 4: let him do his.
Speaker 1: Thing well, but they were trying to talk him out
Speaker 1: of it by putting him down in terms of his maturity,
Speaker 1: And I just had the feeling like you treat Garrison
Speaker 1: like the Mchuelt of Janelle's kids, like he's the black
Speaker 1: sheep in that family, and there's not much that he
Speaker 1: can do to win favor in their eyes, according to
Speaker 1: like what we see, and that's how he's been targeted
Speaker 1: and picked on in my opinion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I just I didn't appreciate how they were
Speaker 4: addressing it. I feel like there's different ways to express
Speaker 4: your concern and to express your worry and to offer
Speaker 4: like counter perspectives to your kids.
Speaker 1: For example, with Hunter, when Hunter walks into the room
Speaker 1: while they're having this discussion with Garrison about whether to
Speaker 1: join or not, Hunter, who is currently in the academy,
Speaker 1: is just like, are you sure you want to do that?
Speaker 1: You're going to enter in a kind of like a grunt,
Speaker 1: and you could enter in as an officer, like he's
Speaker 1: actually in the military, unlike you, Cody, and he has
Speaker 1: a perspective as somebody who's currently in the whole thing. Like,
Speaker 1: let Hunter and Garrison talk. I just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's like Janelle and Cody shut the fuck up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I just don't like how the majority of
Speaker 4: the scenes that we have of Garrison throughout this show
Speaker 4: are him in conflict with yes, other people of the
Speaker 4: family who are judging him for something exactly and like
Speaker 4: putting him down, and he gets harshly punished and he
Speaker 4: gets talked down to, like when he's trying to parent
Speaker 4: his siblings too, And it's just frustrating to me to
Speaker 4: watch this kind of a dynamic. But they're framing it
Speaker 4: like we just love them, we care about him, and
Speaker 4: we're worried.
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's a lot of dark energy
Speaker 1: in that family and that it's always been there. And
Speaker 1: speaking of Garrison, like I think it was last season
Speaker 1: when he and Gabe got into some sort of an
Speaker 1: altercation and Gabe hit him first, but Garrison was being
Speaker 1: blamed for instigating the whole thing, and Cody was going
Speaker 1: to take away his trip to Hawaii yep, if it
Speaker 1: were true, And thank god, Gabe finally admitted that he
Speaker 1: had lied about it. And I think Gabe's punishment was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't go to the movies tonight or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so like what why are you so hard on Garrison?
Speaker 1: And then of course we know, you know, Garrison gets older,
Speaker 1: he is in the military, he comes back, but he
Speaker 1: has problems with drinking and substances, depression and depression and
Speaker 1: can't connect with Cody and it's just really tragic and
Speaker 1: you can really see the roots of it, yeah, in
Speaker 1: these earlier seasons unfortunately.
Speaker 4: And I feel like I just wonder what Cody and
Speaker 4: Janelle's thoughts are nowadays, like just knowing that these moments
Speaker 4: are memorialized on TV, and it's like, I don't know
Speaker 4: if we're going to see any good moments with Garrison,
Speaker 4: you know, as we do these rewines and stuff, because
Speaker 4: I just feel like every moment we've seen of him
Speaker 4: so far hasn't really been good. It's sad, dude. I
Speaker 4: just it's hard for me. But I liked at least
Speaker 4: seeing him in this scene be excited about something and
Speaker 4: like purpose, have some purpose. And he ultimately gets Cody
Speaker 4: and Janelle's permission because he's seventeen, so his parents do
Speaker 4: have to sign off.
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna go whether you like it or not,
Speaker 1: as soon as I turn eight teams.
Speaker 4: Exactly, so you might as well just agree.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: They ultimately do, and they're like, Okay, if this is
Speaker 4: what you want to do, we're proud of you, or whatever,
Speaker 4: you know, but they do take great pains to put
Speaker 4: him down for wanting to go into the military before
Speaker 4: getting an education. And then they compare him to Hunter,
Speaker 4: who is in the Air Force Academy. So he's getting
Speaker 4: his education. Wow, I guess he's enlisted in the Air Force.
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure. Seems kind of ambiguous. Cody talks
Speaker 4: about it like the way Hunter's doing it is noble
Speaker 4: and responsible, but the way that Garrison wants to do it,
Speaker 4: of just wanting to enlist right away without prioritizing his education,
Speaker 4: is aris reponsible.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, Okay, but did you even graduate
Speaker 1: from university? I don't think you did.
Speaker 2: You don't even have a job right now.
Speaker 1: No, you don't. You're just a real job. No, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: let your young men become men and don't.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's just frustrating men. So then we go back
Speaker 4: to mikelt who is packing and moving down to Saint
Speaker 4: George to go work at the punch shop, and Cody's
Speaker 4: talking about how much bullshit Michelty has because she has
Speaker 4: a ton of stuff. And I thought this interaction was
Speaker 4: interesting because he's, you know, saying, she's not a hoarder,
Speaker 4: she's a collector of stuff. And then all of the
Speaker 4: wives on the couch start joking about how Cody is
Speaker 4: also a hoarder, but he collects a lot of man
Speaker 4: stuff like ambo when tools.
Speaker 2: And all this other bullshit.
Speaker 4: And they're like making fun of him a little bit
Speaker 4: like McKelty got it from somewhere.
Speaker 2: She's a hoarder because of you.
Speaker 4: And Cody seems annoyed that all four of the women
Speaker 4: are making fun of him little bit and teasing him.
Speaker 4: He says they're ganging up on him, and then he
Speaker 4: says something like, you know, the hypocrisy of it all,
Speaker 4: And then we cut to a different scene, and I'm
Speaker 4: just like, are you really upset because people are calling
Speaker 4: you out on all of your bullshit?
Speaker 1: Probably?
Speaker 3: I just can't.
Speaker 1: He's got a fragile male ego, probably.
Speaker 2: So cringe.
Speaker 4: And so then we hear about the pawnshop that Michelty's
Speaker 4: going to work at.
Speaker 1: It's we've been here before at multitudes times on our
Speaker 1: trip to Navoo and across to Missouri and to meet
Speaker 1: various and sundry polygamus in America, we always stop at
Speaker 1: this goddam pat shop and look at Mormon memorabilia. I'm
Speaker 1: sick of that.
Speaker 4: We got to promote it though, for the family bond.
Speaker 1: I guess Saint George.
Speaker 4: That's kind of what it feels like. It's like pr like, hey,
Speaker 4: if you say the name of my pawn shop on
Speaker 4: your show, more people can come to my pawn shop.
Speaker 2: It's just cringe.
Speaker 4: But Cody and Christine are like supportive. I guess of
Speaker 4: McKelty doing this, and this is where they talk about
Speaker 4: how they hope she'll actually grow the fuck up and
Speaker 4: mature because she'll get a big girl job at the
Speaker 4: pond shop, and I'm just like, Okay, I feel like
Speaker 4: you guys just want her to be moved away so
Speaker 4: you don't have to deal with her, like go have
Speaker 4: fun in Saint George bye, and mkeelty's gonna be alone,
Speaker 4: Like she doesn't have any family out there, she has
Speaker 4: no friends, but she's probably got Tony.
Speaker 2: I think that's why I.
Speaker 1: Don't think so personally. I think she's gonna meet Tony
Speaker 1: in short order and they're gonna get together right away,
Speaker 1: but I don't think at this point she's actually met Tony.
Speaker 1: And I think that it was kind of a really
Speaker 1: sweet moment when they're moving her into her new, very
Speaker 1: run down apartment where she's like, I'm excited, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be all alone. Yeah, it's like a big jarring
Speaker 1: thing to do to just be on your own legitimately,
Speaker 1: and she's gotten nobody around her to support her at all.
Speaker 1: And I kind of feel like it's always been that
Speaker 1: way with McKelty as a child until Robin came into
Speaker 1: the family, and maybe Robin a little bit supported her.
Speaker 4: It's it is sad, and it is interesting to me
Speaker 4: that again, like Robin was the supportive figure for some
Speaker 4: of these kids, because then I'm like, Okay, well, maybe you're.
Speaker 1: Not like all bad, but I know that you're terrible.
Speaker 4: Like why else would you be supportive to some of
Speaker 4: these kids, Like, I don't know. I think it's sometimes
Speaker 4: a good thing that Micheltie had Robin because it at
Speaker 4: least empowered her enough to go and be herself. And
Speaker 4: now she's doing these podcasts and talking shit about her family,
Speaker 4: which is great because we need to hear some of the.
Speaker 1: She's always fair to Robin. She does these podcasts.
Speaker 4: She is and maybe there's a reason, right, And so
Speaker 4: then we go back to Vegas and we check in
Speaker 4: with Mary and we have to hear about the heal's
Speaker 4: issues that she's been experiencing.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't.
Speaker 4: And the way that it's framed at first is like
Speaker 4: Mary was really worried because she had this imaging that
Speaker 4: like showed some fibroids but also some possible cancer, and
Speaker 4: so she had to get a lot of testing done,
Speaker 4: and like, you know, my sister passed away from colon
Speaker 4: cancer nine years ago, so it's always a very real possibility.
Speaker 4: But then we go to the doctor and the doctor's like,
Speaker 4: everything's normal and perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: You had a little bit of a sisti pooh or whatever,
Speaker 1: a fibroid.
Speaker 4: It's like not a big deal, super common. It's fine,
Speaker 4: You're gonna be okay. And then married to the camera's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: so you know when I had all of that weight
Speaker 4: loss a couple months ago, it's because of the catfish.
Speaker 4: So it's like, okay, all your health is she's yeah.
Speaker 1: But the way she's framing it is it's because of
Speaker 1: the catfish and the stress that I was under being
Speaker 1: targeted by gang stalkers, versus it was because of the
Speaker 1: catfish because I was trying to lose weight because I
Speaker 1: wanted to meet Sam in person, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: be my very best when I did so, so I
Speaker 1: was only eating bananas and bathtubs like that's what really happened.
Speaker 1: Every single woman watching knows that that's what happened. But
Speaker 1: Mary's gonna want to spin it as like I had
Speaker 1: h point Warrie in my stomach. Well we haven't even
Speaker 1: gotten married, no, but that's what it's gonna be. Totally.
Speaker 1: You starved yourself to get skinny to beat them. Come on, bitch,
Speaker 1: just admit it.
Speaker 4: Just be real.
Speaker 2: It's just crazy to me.
Speaker 4: I don't want to be insensitive because obviously healthy, healthy
Speaker 4: shoes are very serious and stuff, and she's got family,
Speaker 4: but she doesn't.
Speaker 1: Have any health issue she knows, and she's just trying
Speaker 1: to throw this up as a smoke screen so that
Speaker 1: she doesn't have to explain her actual fucked up and
Speaker 1: toxic behavior. When's Leon getting into this because I need that.
Speaker 2: I know, I can't wait.
Speaker 4: Come on, Leon, because the Leon stuff is going to
Speaker 4: be really great. And so then Mary says, you know,
Speaker 4: she still feels lonely at times, but she's working through it,
Speaker 4: and so she's working through her stress and her h filor.
Speaker 4: And I'm just like, I don't care, dude at all.
Speaker 4: So we have Christine and Cody going to visit Mickelty
Speaker 4: at the Punshot.
Speaker 1: He comes in with his big, fake ass gold watch
Speaker 1: at Robin Bottom, that Robin Bottom, and he pretends to
Speaker 1: want to pawn it in exchange for some big TV.
Speaker 4: Uh huh for Christine because they were going there specifically
Speaker 4: to buy a TV for Christine.
Speaker 2: At the punch show.
Speaker 4: Okay, Christine finds out that this watch that he was
Speaker 4: pretending to pawn for Michelt, like he was trying to
Speaker 4: highballerr and test her on her job or whatever. Christine
Speaker 4: finds out that this was actually a gift, and she
Speaker 4: feels like that was such a breach of this sister wife's.
Speaker 2: Love or trust or whatever, and she's.
Speaker 4: Like, we can't be selling a gift, like that's so mean.
Speaker 4: And then we hear from all of them on the
Speaker 4: couch and Cody's like, I had no intention of selling
Speaker 4: this watch.
Speaker 2: It was just a joke.
Speaker 4: And Robin's like, well, but I hope you hear all
Speaker 4: of our sentiment like that would be really unfair if
Speaker 4: you sold a wife's gift that she got for you.
Speaker 4: Mary says something like if you do that, if you
Speaker 4: get rid of a gift that a wife got for you,
Speaker 4: that just says that you don't care about that wife anymore,
Speaker 4: which was very telling, and so Robin's like, you know,
Speaker 4: you have to listen to all of us what we're saying,
Speaker 4: Like the concept of that is really fucked up. So
Speaker 4: I hope you understand that. And Cody turns to Robin
Speaker 4: and says, well, if I actually sold that watch and
Speaker 4: bought a TV, I would have given it to you,
Speaker 4: not Christine. And I was like, damn, like we were
Speaker 4: going there before Christine. He's just saying that in front
Speaker 4: of her like it's no big deal.
Speaker 2: But ultimately they buy a fucking TV.
Speaker 1: But wasn't there a moment on the couch with Christine
Speaker 1: and Cody where they were kind of laughing about this
Speaker 1: and Christine asks which wife gave him the watch? Yes,
Speaker 1: Cody doesn't answer, and she's like it was Robin, right,
Speaker 1: and then she holds up her.
Speaker 4: Hand yep, and it kind of like he doesn't high five.
Speaker 1: He doesn't high five her at all. Yes, he does
Speaker 1: not like her at all.
Speaker 4: Oh no, he is faking it with literally everybody except
Speaker 4: for Robin. And it's crazy that she called that out.
Speaker 4: She's been calling it out this whole time, which I appreciate,
Speaker 4: but yeah, like you can already tell he's just putting
Speaker 4: on a show. So when they buy the TV, he's
Speaker 4: like haggling his friend at the pawn shop. It's like
Speaker 4: an eight hundred dollars TV. He negotiates it down to
Speaker 4: six hundred because that's all he has on him right now.
Speaker 4: And then he's like bitching about tax and like bitching
Speaker 4: about I don't know everything. And then we're talking about
Speaker 4: Michelty and her working at the pawn chop and how
Speaker 4: it's great for her.
Speaker 1: Snory. It's just poring, dude, it is.
Speaker 4: It's just poor, it is, and I don't care to
Speaker 4: see this dingy ass fucking pawnshop.
Speaker 1: Hate it. I hate it here, Get me out of here,
Speaker 1: like just stop, just stop.
Speaker 4: And then the last scene that we have of the
Speaker 4: episode is back at Janelle's house. Garrison I guess went
Speaker 4: to get his National Guard physical and he has an
Speaker 4: announcement for the family, so he wants everybody gathered at
Speaker 4: Janelle's house. He comes home with Cody and Garrison I
Speaker 4: guess got sworn in as private first class.
Speaker 1: But Cody goes to pick him up at the airport
Speaker 1: and Garrison wants to come home and make the announcement
Speaker 1: meant to the family. So he walks into the house
Speaker 1: with Cody and the family, and Cody announces it. Cody
Speaker 1: doesn't let Garrison tell everybody, and at some point Garrison
Speaker 1: actually interrupts him and says, well, this is what happened,
Speaker 1: this is how it's gonna be, and blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. But I'm just like Cody, you're stealing his thunder.
Speaker 1: This is his announcement to make yep.
Speaker 4: But he wants everybody to cheer for him, and he
Speaker 4: wants to be the center of attention. Ways and like
Speaker 4: when Garrison's trying to interject about it and talk about
Speaker 4: what actually happened, which is like he got approved, you know,
Speaker 4: he still has to do the ceremony or whatever. It's
Speaker 4: like a process. You know, everybody's talking over him, like
Speaker 4: nobody gives a shit. It's kind of weird, Like this
Speaker 4: was center. It was supposed to be centered around Garrison,
Speaker 4: but we only really see footage from everybody else and
Speaker 4: like what their thoughts are about it, Like we're not
Speaker 4: talking to Garrison. Where we check in with some of
Speaker 4: the older siblings who are saying, like it doesn't matter
Speaker 4: what we think about this, Like he's going to do
Speaker 4: what he wants to do. We're worried about it, but
Speaker 4: we're support of him, but we don't check him with
Speaker 4: Garrison like at all. He's just kind of like shirked
Speaker 4: aside yep, and I feel really bad for him, but
Speaker 4: ultimately the family's proud of him or whatever. And I'm
Speaker 4: sure we're going to see more of his process of
Speaker 4: being in the National Guarden actually getting sworn in into
Speaker 4: ceremony and all that. And then we get to the
Speaker 4: preview for next episode. We have Janelle and Mary finally
Speaker 4: doing therapy with Nancy, and Janelle kind of tells Mary
Speaker 4: that she's overbearing in a bitch I'm paraphrasing. And then
Speaker 4: we have some stupid like baby shower I think for
Speaker 4: Robin and they get drunk off of.
Speaker 1: Some tea I don't know, something like that.
Speaker 4: Robin seems to be laughing and happy though, So that'll
Speaker 4: be interesting to see.
Speaker 1: Because she's so because it's about her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true, right, that's true.
Speaker 1: So do we know whether Garrison was ever deployed or
Speaker 1: served overseas or anything like that.
Speaker 4: I want to say he wasn't deployed, but I feel
Speaker 4: like he was stationed somewhere away from home, but I
Speaker 4: don't know where. If you guys know in the.
Speaker 1: Com sure somebody knows yet, because that's what Janelle and
Speaker 1: Cody are worried. We're saying they're worried about. It's just
Speaker 1: that he might have to go overseas. And if we're
Speaker 1: talking twenty fifteen, you're talking Afghanistan, you're definitely talking the
Speaker 1: Middle East. I would be scared af for my child
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 4: And oh, I forgot to mention. Robin had made a
Speaker 4: comment about how her brother joined the army right around
Speaker 4: the time of the Iraq Afghanistan war, like right after
Speaker 4: nine to eleven, and she was trying to hide his
Speaker 4: paperwork from him, like multiple times to get him to
Speaker 4: not do it, and she wished she could have done
Speaker 4: that with Garrison. And I'm like, that's such a dubious
Speaker 4: thing to do, Like, you don't have a right to
Speaker 4: do that. If somebody wants to make that choice, that's
Speaker 4: their choice. Obviously it's scary and it's like sad, you know,
Speaker 4: but to make that choice. I just thought that was
Speaker 4: an interesting.
Speaker 1: Guiding somebody's passport because you don't want them to go
Speaker 1: on a trip or something like that.
Speaker 4: Like, isn't that borderline like abusive a little bit like
Speaker 4: keeping them away from what they want to do?
Speaker 1: Yes, but I mean maybe she was a child. Maybybe
Speaker 1: she was just a teenage girl trying to protect her brother.
Speaker 1: I don't know. She thought it was like a wonderful
Speaker 1: little story. But I'm like, that's problematic. That's super problem
Speaker 1: You should not be able to do that, super weird.
Speaker 1: So can we end this podcast talking about me? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because I just I don't know. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about what I'm going through.
Speaker 4: Yeah, your health and fitness journey's.
Speaker 1: Been finish journey. But I really feel like it shows
Speaker 1: up in the pod a lot. Because it does. It
Speaker 1: shows up in the pod like with my voice, because
Speaker 1: my voice, she's so self conscious. I'm very self conscious
Speaker 1: about it. Can you guys say deal, no? But but
Speaker 1: it does, and I just want to I don't want
Speaker 1: to apologize for it because I can't really help it,
Speaker 1: but just so that you know, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: wrong with my voice. I've got to go to an
Speaker 1: E and T. I've been like working out. She's an athlete,
Speaker 1: Like an athlete for a while now. I've been doing walking.
Speaker 1: I walk like four to six times a week, like
Speaker 1: two to four miles to pop. It's not a lot.
Speaker 1: It's not a lot, but in the Texas heat, it's
Speaker 1: a lot. Big, Yeah, it is a fucking lot. Thanks.
Speaker 1: I'm sending you pictures with the moon still out because
Speaker 1: I'm up at like five in the morning walking because.
Speaker 3: I'm dedicated to it.
Speaker 4: All wrong, well, because you stayed up like all night reading.
Speaker 1: No, No, but I mean I've been I've been working
Speaker 1: out and now I'm starting to strength train.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and every time I work out.
Speaker 1: Or I do something like, my voice is even weaker
Speaker 1: than normal. And I just feel like that's showing up
Speaker 1: a lot in the pod and I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do about it. I apologize about it. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get stronger. I'm meaning a lot of fucking protein.
Speaker 1: I'm tracking my macros bed finally, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with me.
Speaker 4: Please let us in the comments. Tell her I feel
Speaker 4: it's kind about it. Tell her words of encouragement.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 1: I just feel insecure about it. So if it's if
Speaker 1: it's bothering you, like I've got the mistifunia. I've got
Speaker 1: the methal. So if like somebody's smacking, or if I
Speaker 1: hear the saliva in their mouth like, it drives me
Speaker 1: fucking crazy, I cannot listen. So I'm just wondering what
Speaker 1: people out there are thinking as they're listening to my
Speaker 1: fucked up boys trying to talk about Cody Brown. Are
Speaker 1: people getting as sick of it as as I am?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I feel bad.
Speaker 2: It's really okay.
Speaker 4: We love you for who you are.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's all I wanted to say, So just
Speaker 1: spare with me. I'm trying to work through it. I
Speaker 1: think it has to do with my energy levels. And
Speaker 1: plus I'm a Taurus, which you know, and I think
Speaker 1: that Taurus is governed by the thyroid.
Speaker 2: It's throat.
Speaker 1: It's throat and thyroid, and so like if you were
Speaker 1: out of alignment or balance in your chakras or something,
Speaker 1: it shows up for a Taurus in their voice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So anytime you hear me like this, it means that
Speaker 1: I'm not in balance and I'm trying to figure out why.
Speaker 4: And it's your sadder in return, pitch, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Sidebar. Did you hear those rumors that the Earth is
Speaker 1: supposed to lose gravity for seven seconds on like August
Speaker 1: twelfth or something. Yeah, I was hearing these rumors like
Speaker 1: last year, and in the early parts of this year.
Speaker 4: I've been hearing that too. I don't know if that's true, though.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's not true. It can't be true. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine if if we lost gravity on the Earth
Speaker 1: for seven seconds?
Speaker 2: That'd be crazy.
Speaker 1: But if you're in your house, though, what's the worst
Speaker 1: that could happen? You're gonna raise up to the roof?
Speaker 1: Oh but is your house raising at the same time?
Speaker 4: It could, But I don't know. Seven seconds is not
Speaker 4: a long time. It would take a little bit to
Speaker 4: lift your house, but your house can't because it's on
Speaker 4: a foundation.
Speaker 1: I know, But how is it? What about like the trees,
Speaker 1: like they're rooted. I don't know. I'm just worried about
Speaker 1: it because I think that's this week or next week.
Speaker 4: The lions Gate Portal is opening up on the eighth,
Speaker 4: I think, and then we have a solar eclipse.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about us, Honey.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of crazy astrology right now. But the
Speaker 4: whole month of August is supposed to be super lucky
Speaker 4: because it's Leo season, so you're welcome.
Speaker 1: Okay, So is there anything else that we want to
Speaker 1: say to these beautiful raccoons before we get up on
Speaker 1: out of Her Beatrice.
Speaker 4: Well, if you love our podcast, please go to your
Speaker 4: favorite podcast platform and leave us like glowing five star review.
Speaker 4: It's my birthday week this week, so I would really
Speaker 4: like some five star reviews, please and thank you.
Speaker 1: Her birthday is on August fourth, and by the time
Speaker 1: you're seeing this on YouTube, that would be the day before.
Speaker 1: So wish my baby, Oh my god, happy birthday. Thirty
Speaker 1: years old. Your old. I am old, but this is
Speaker 1: the decade. It it starts to get real.
Speaker 4: I'm aware everyone's bored than me of it. But anyway,
Speaker 4: all I want for my birthday is some five star reviews,
Speaker 4: so please thank you.

Speaker 1: next week to continue our converse about sister wives and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Until then, please do not forget that
Speaker 1: we have nothing but love for you and Hee and
Speaker 1: Mighty
