Thank you. Hello, and as always, welcome to the Sister Wives Professor.

That is me. I'm Dr. Adam, Professor of Communication and longtime follower of the TLC series,

Sister Wives. That, of course, is what I'm here to talk to you about today. Hello to you. Hope your January's going okay. I am ready and raring to go to talk to you about Sister Wives Season 19 19 episode 17. This is one where we've seen

quite a bit of what we were presented with. If you've been keeping up with the show over the past,

oh, I don't know, year or so. So let me address this one more time because I did talk about it last

week, but you may not have heard that or you may not remember, which is fair. A lot of this stuff is recycled from the

Christine and David's wedding specials from last year, which I have already covered on the podcast a year

ago at this point, more or less. And I'm just going to do what I tried to do last week, which is I'm

not going to keep repeating over and over again what is recycled footage and what isn't. I'm just going to do what I tried to do last week, which is I'm not going to keep repeating over and over again what is recycled footage and what isn't.

I'm just going to react to what I see.

But maybe I'll have different understandings of things because, to be fair, last year, we didn't really know David.

We certainly know a lot more about he and Christine's relationship now than we did when they just sort of dropped the wedding specials on us,

I think to capitalize on whatever they could get out of the show. I don't know anything,

but I do find myself wondering if they thought maybe last season was going to be the last one,

so they tried to get as much juice out of that with Christine's wedding as they could. Maybe not.

I really don't know. That's not any sort of

insider information by any means. That's just me kind of, that's just really me freestyling here on the

podcast for you. But just a quick heads up. That's how I'm going to do this. So all that having been said,

let's get to it, Sister Wives, Season 19, Episode 17 titled titled, Love is Patient, Love is Kind.

Love is tragic, love is bold, you will always do what you were told.
