Moriah's got a gig, and Kim is dead set to ruin it. Barry wants to film it but mostly just wants to not make Kim mad. Honestly that's pretty much the episode but don't let me fool you - there is a LOT to say about family systems theory, consent, parenting, and more here. It's a wild one.

Christine tries to take her real estate license exam again, but she's struggling with self-confidence. The Brown family launches My Sister Wife's Closet, but why isn't anyone buying anything? Identity issues abounds as Kody and Christine in particular reveal a lot about themselves in this episode.

Moriah meets Max's mom who has amazing hair. I like her. Ethan struggles to reconnect with Olivia and decides to nuke his house from orbit. Worth a shot? And Kim is just the worst, you guys, and it's going to be more obvious next episode, so that's fun.

We say goodbye to Drake (a very good boy) and Meri, Leon, and Kody all process it in very different ways. Janelle is back in the gym with Sean. And Kody is being super crabby about Meri's countertop choices.
Seriously, he is!

UH, SURPRISE AGAIN.
It's kind of a long story? But I tell it in the podcast. I was able to sit down and talk to Meri Brown and Jenn Sullivan. We talked about a lot of stuff! How did Jenn end up being featured on the show? What is the biggest misconception folks still have about Meri? How does Jenn feel about being on the one-on-ones? How does Meri eat her celery? Does Adam become an honorary Salty Birch?
And I drop a Ron pun to Meri Brown's face, my crowning achievement.

Oliva has fled Ethan and she goes on a beach trip with Moriah and Helena that gets rained out. Micah goes on a tinder date and does some smooching. And Ethan? He tinkers with a motorcycle. Interesting stuff about friendships, identity, and culture here, so I hope you enjoy listening!

We're back to season 5, folks, and i'm tagging in some help.
I'll be honest, I was planning on taking a break from collaborations for a bit, but then this episode was a struggle for me right away. The Brown teenagers (or a few of them) go to meet with and help Holding out Help, the organization that helps former polygamists and cult members escape and establish their new lives.
Well, we all know a lot more about these things than we did when this first aired. So Melanie and Cory of Notes to Self 444 (themselves former members of the Browns' sect the AUB) were kind enough to come on and help me understand what's all going on beneath the surface here.
To me it's the most enlightening podcast i've ever done, thanks to them, so I hope you enjoy.

No Plaths this week as I had the chance to discuss season 20, season 21, and more with Chris Farah of the Vanity Farah podcast (formerly of Docusweeties).
We talk about Kody, Robyn, Janelle, Christine, David, Meri, Jenn, RON, and a lot more. I lay out my dreams for season 21 (none of which are going to happen). There's some Special Forces talk, too. Lots going on in this one so we hope you enjoy!

Season finale! And this was my favorite one-on-one or whatever, uh, ever? Also, if you like angry Adam this one is for you.
But we get into the catfishing! How Robyn knew someone who KNEW the catfish! We talk about Ron, thank GOD. Nothing is Kody's fault, and I read him the riot act over it. Meanwhile - why does Kody dislike Jenn, the world's best friend? I will tell you all about it.

Olivia and Ethan are falling apart as Olivia goes to therapy. Max (who sucks) is absolutely horrible and I lose my mind. All that and more as the Plath family does what they do, and Moriah gets her big break, kind of!
