I think the audio is great

Maybe his first time was with Meri and that's why she knows about it and that's why he has so much anger towards her because maybe they had to get married because of that.

Did Robyn marry to avoid having to be bothered with a husband? She seems tired of Cody…

You both are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experiences and opinions. We are gaining great insight into the AUB and polygamy.

Missed you live but always catch you later! I’m in Michigan… we are getting snow now … but not a lot.. maybe 2 to 4 in. Love your channel! You two are so authentic and honest !!

Yes i am in Manchester we have had snow four four days xxxx

Hello from the uk if you do go to Scotland you need to visit the whiskey brewery Blair Athol in Picklock its a great brewery and you can bottle your own whiskey and your name goes into their register and you name is then forever in Scotland xxxx Love your show xxx

I like James and Ive been watching his videos for awhile now. Both him and Reality Squad but they tend to be super harsh on Meri and that bothers me. I wish they would be easier on that woman.

Kody always said all the wives have to agree or it’s a no go, but Christine said she had never met her or seen her before Kody told the kids he was going to invite her into the family.

Sending lots of love from Australia we move you over here .❤

Wow you are amazing having to go through this every day it must of been exhausting ❤

When u guys talk about these women still wearing their garments I got to wondering what exactly the garments are. Then u described what ur talking about, I saw how those women were dressing (especially in the first few seasons) as them just being modest. Bc they do talk about how they try to dress very modest and what all they try to cover up. Ive noticed that some of the shirts they wear, most women would just wear it as like a tank top but they always have an undershirt so I always assumed it was for modesty

And people of the LDS and Fundamental LDS, as well as people of all Christian Faiths are considered Gentiles by people of Jewish Faitj.

Maybe a lapel mic would be good to be able to hear Cory.

I'm so sorry for what you went through. SA in religious communities are so common, especially by those in leadership positions or in good standing since no one will give accusations any credence. While your dad wasn't personally assisting anyone, he was enabling and approving of and complicit in this kind of abuse. How have you been able to maintain a relationship with him?

As much as I enjoy the sister Wives commentary, I really really would love to hear about your own experiences being raised in polygamy. Looking forward to hear more about that.

44:59 Concerning Aurora & Brianna not dating or married, I just thought, "Would he want Kody as a father-in-law, or Robyn as their MIL?" Robyn would be just like one of those Smotherd to death people up in their business controlling them. That would be a huge turn-off I'd think! Just sayn'!

Look up the phrase Lying For The Lord and you will see how the leaders have always justified lying. However, in Brown's case there's no way it can be justified as ignorant upbring. They all knew that Utah weren't going to give them big trouble. They all lied to the public. I knew then that they were massive manipulators based on that lie alone. Look now on Without a Crystal Ball C & K's court case is being handled with gloves. Plus, they all knew K & R didn't meet the way they were telling the people and that K's past was not what they were presenting. That's called lying and manipulating in the non mormon world... because they knew.

Zoning out when Cory speaks, can't hear him at all, volume all the way up

will u be doing lives on u tube ???

What you are saying about the needs of the family coming first is clearly evident in the episode where Cody and Christine are supposed to build a rock sculpture to represent their relationship for their therapist and Cody railroads Christine into building one for the whole family (a family he eventually abandons because they get in the way of his goals).

Have you thought about reading Becoming Sister Wives? I have been obsessed with the show since the beginning. I just got the book and it's nuts.

Knowing Robyn and the “religion” as you do, why do you think she is fighting for and crying over the idea of sitting on a porch with sister wives and children she has zero contact or relationship with? She has never done anything to build or foster a relationship with these women and have alienated their children from the start so it makes zero sense to me. Any insights?

The Browns supposedly made decisions by committee. I'm sure Kody manipulated Meri. Janelle said she believed there would be more wives so she agreed. Christine obviously didn't want Robin but I think she was out voted on the choice.

I remember that, on their first (recorded) Family Camping Trip with 4 wives, it took Meri and Robyn ages to do their make up because they acted like giggly teenagers. The bigger kids (especially the Boys) were so annoyed by that and Christine and Janelle did they best to keep them calm. "Why do they wear make up? We're camping!"

Never went to college.He went on and mission Then came back and converted And married meri

On SW show, they say the head wife chooses a wife for the family. (Koty called Meri the “bait”) is that the way a new wife is supposed to be brought into the family? (Although we later find out supposedly Robyn & Koty saw each other at church. In one of your pod casts (Melanie) you talk about walking on fire, can you explain? Also, you talk about going back to AUB because your child was sick? Do you mind sharing? I want to remain respectful! Sorry a lot at one time. Answer only what your comfortable with! 💞

Robyn’s dream of sister wives on the porch on rocking chairs in their golden years always confounds me. I am fairly certain when Kody’s father passed away, his mom and Janelle’s mom probably didn’t live together or even hang out regularly.

Yes, do a rewatch from the beginning.

I couldn’t believe when Christine was at the dr’s office on the table & Kody was asking the dr. (Dr. Bean, I think?) Questions about Meri’s infertility & what type recommendations did he have for IVF!? Christine talked about how open they were with that Dr. He knew they were a pleural family, but it felt so wrong for so many reasons! I felt that Christine was commenting for Kody?? It had to make her feel uncomfortable? With cameras rolling? As Kody would say, it gave me an “ick” factor! 😂

I don't believe it was Robyn on the ATV...No way she could make those jumps or tuck n roll... definitely a stunt double

Unfortunately , the attitude of once you're eighteen , you're on your own does not apply to her own kids!!

Hi

I want Cory to explain the young men and their roles as they grow up, when you were chopping wood did you get paid or was it just required of you to help take care of others families? What about dating and marriage do the young boys get married young like the girls? When you marry do you stay in your dad’s house? Are there any younger ladies for you to marry? Ect…….

Love your videos always watch from Australia

Hey from Missouri

Shout out to who has helped you start this channel . Big shout to your mom for allowing u to speak on where she stands . Mels mom please stay strong this gentile thinks you are a strong brave women ❤️ just wanting to stay in your home 😊

Snow is coming in soon to Kentucky

From what I understand or what I’ve heard is Robin sister had a crush on Preston. I don’t think he actually dated her, but Robin knew she really liked him and she went ahead and attracted him and then got pregnant by him so I’m sure there were some hurt going on there for a while. How about Preston wished he had married the sister instead

T I told pop psych about your page . Remember if you see meri they would love to host a speed dating for meri . In colorado

PLEASE do a rewatch of the whole series (and here on KZbin - or starts a Patreon!)

I am interested in how family planning is addressed in polygamy and polygamous relationship. Is it completely against the religion to use contraception and so women just have babies until they no longer are able to? Do private conversations take place between each sister wife and the husband about how they chose to address family planning?

Thank you for mentioning the T-shirts under the spaghetti strat tops. That was a look that doesn’t need to return, lol. Those ladies all looked as comfortable as a cat who’s been dressed up in baby clothes, by a 6 year old. 😂 And yeah, it’s very interesting that R didn’t wear garments until she was on TV. I know that she comes off as devout, but I’m not convinced. If she was living in fear of eternal punishment, or even eternal lack lustreness, I think she would a) have gone to church regularly (instead of never in the past 13 years!), b) follow some of the religion’s mundane rules (like garments), c) raise her kids to respect the religion, d) leave K for a man who wants plural marriage, ie., choose the devout path over riches, and e) advocate for ending the show since that’s what the AUB asked for.

My assumption is that Robyn and Kody speak to their children about how awful the outside world is and how mean people are regarding the Browns and it makes the kids fearful to do anything independently.

Based on the type of outfits the wives wore at the beginning of the show . Was that the popular look at the time ? In a forum many years ago someone said that robyn talked them into wearing that type of spaghetti top over a long sleeves as a joke on them all . Just curious if that rumor was true

I’ve often wondered how the church, in general, feels about women getting college educated and beyond. Such as, women doctors or scientists. I don’t think I’ve ever heard any disapproval on the show.

#330 Hope you have had a great day 😊

All you have to do is look at the family and you can see the difference between a strong, straightforward personality and a mean girl personality. With Mary as the “head” wife, the family seemed to be doing as well as any plural family could vs Robyn, and a family that broke down more with every bit of influence she gained.

If they don't have 3 wives/live monogamously, do they think they go to the terrestrial level of Heaven?

I honeslty believe a BIG reason Robyns girls are “behind” is bc how Robyn treats them and raised them. She has kept those girls as close to her as possible for years! They werent around the other kids when they got older so its like their maturing stopped bc Robyn “babies” them so badly
