From the Fryer

"The recruits must escape a sinking plane and go head-to-head in an intense, military-style boxing match."  Since Kody wasn't shown much on this week of Special Forces we decided to do a very high level recap of the episode.  It wasn't until I was editing that I realized we didn't even mention the other podcasts we're listening to! We'll have this for you next week.  Thank you for listening! For links to our social media and additional podcatcher apps, please view https://linktr.ee/FromTheFryer

"Christine and David visit Janelle in North Carolina to celebrate the purchase of her new property; Kody and Robyn discuss their now monogamous relationship and the possibility of bringing in a new wife; Meri dips her toe back into the dating world." We are so excited to be back with Sister Wives! Honestly, we could have done this entire episode about how Kody and Robyn act at home. I think we can all see how the infantilization happened now.

"The recruits must repel out of a military-grade helicopter; the recruits get a taste of what it's like operating behind enemy lines as they carry supplies weighing 800 pounds in sweltering 100-degree heat." Friendly reminder: we are mostly only covering Kody Brown's participation on this season of Special Forces and these are not full episode recaps. Leon and I have never watched this show but we had a great time! It's nice to see Kody interacting with people outside of his family and be somewhat put in his place :) Thank you for listening!

Join us as we discuss chapters 10 and 11 of Sister Wife by Christine Brown Woolley. In these chapters we learn about Christine's advocacy work, how the original show idea came to be, Christine's first introduction to Robyn Sullivan Jessop and the initial impact on the family.  Corrections:  - We quickly discuss Garrick from Seeking Sister Wife at one point and accidentally call him Derrick - We talk about Kody and Robyn courting only a couple of years after her monogamous marriage but it was definitely not that long after! While reading a bit more we realized that it was really within the same year of her divorce.  Click here to support your local library and read or listen to this book for free.  Click here to support your local bookstore by purchasing this book nearby.   Click here to purchase this book at Barnes & Noble.

Join us as we discuss chapters 5 - 7 of Sister Wife by Christine Brown Woolley. Here we go people! This is starting to get good. We learn about Christine's wedding night, Kody's intimacy preferences, and the true dynamics during the start of the family.  At the start of the episode we begin to explain our schedule and quickly get sidetracked. Here is the breakdown: We will be discussing Sister Wife twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays) until Special Forces premieres. Once we see how that flows, we will either reduce Sister Wife to once a week or simply add a Special Forces section to one of the Sister Wife episodes. Once the new season of Sister Wives begins, we'll of course be covering that as well. We'll continue to update you as the new shows begin! When we say this is going to be Sister Wives September, we mean it!  Click here to support your local library and read or listen to this book for free.  Click here to support your local bookstore by purchasing this book nearby.   Click here to purchase this book on Barnes & Noble.
