| 0:04.2 | It does not reflect the views or opinions of my university or its affiliates. |
| 0:33.5 | Music Hello, and as always, welcome to the Sister Wives Professor. That is me. I am Dr. Adam, |
| 0:39.3 | real life professor of communication, a longtime follower of the TLC series Sister Wives, |
| 0:45.6 | and purveyor of reality TV in general, to some extent. Including Polly Family, it has been a while, |
| 0:50.9 | over a month, I covered the very first episode of Polly Family, the very first episode of maybe the only season, it turns out that we may be getting of Polly family. I don't really know. I did that back in May. So obviously it's been a while. You know, I thought I get back to it sooner than I did. And man, a lot has happened. Not just the rest of the season, but a lot happening off camera in terms of the Reddit sleuths getting to it and whatnot.

| 1:41.1 | Polly wants a baby. |
| 1:42.6 | Let's get to it. |
| 1:43.8 | I'm excited. Taya's excited. I'm sure she's having a |
| 1:47.9 | baby. She doesn't actually look excited, though. To be fair, it's a complicated thing to do to say |
| 1:53.4 | the least emotionally and everything else, and she is being induced. And she admits that this is |
| 1:57.6 | scary, but that having the entire quad involved is good. |
| 2:05.4 | She does worry, though, that those caring for her at the hospital may have an issue with it. |
| 2:10.1 | And so that does add a layer of anxiety and potential prejudice, which is all very true. |
| 2:14.8 | And gosh, my favorite thing, and I got mixed emotions about Polly family, don't get me wrong, |
