I'm Dr. Adam,

Professor of Communication, longtime follower of the TLC series Sister Wives. And as always, it is my great privilege to be accompanying you through a

very small part of your day. Thanks for letting me do that. It really means a great deal. And welcome to

2006. This is the very first Sister Wives Professor podcast of the new year. If you don't count the

deep dive that I dropped on January 1st.

If you're not familiar, every month on the first, I drop on Patreon and for Apple subscribers

an exclusive podcast where I talk about the Brown family in great detail, oftentimes using

some sort of communication theory or concept, and this is no different.

This one is called Into the Matrix Part 1, where I look at Cody and Robin's maladaptive relationship

and the way they co-create toxic, inaccurate realities together through the lens of coordinated

management of meaning theory, which is an excellent theory that gets into exactly that kind of thing.

So that sounds like something you're interested in. Of course, patreon.com slash the sister wives

professor, or you can get the same content directly through Apple's subscription,

through Apple, if that's where you downloaded and listened to this podcast.

You can also sign up directly through Spotify.

You should be able to see that link for that podcast as well.

Click on that and get going if you want to.

But we are definitely here to talk about sister wives season 20, episode 15,

and that's what I want to talk to you about today.

Before I get going, I do apologize.
