I'm going to... Hello and a very warm welcome to the sister wives professor.

That is me.

I am Dr. Adam, Professor of Communication and longtime follower of the TLC series Sister Wives,

which we are, of course, going to talk about today.

Season 4 episode 7 titled Brown Boys Do Vegas.

And that means it's yet another Cody has to have a Guy's Night Out episode.

I feel like I've joked, and maybe I'm not joking anymore, that Cody must have written into his contract that he gets one TLC funded guys night out every season

At least for the first few seasons because this isn't even the last time that this happens. It's certainly not the first time

Before we get into the episode proper though, I want to mention that if you are a faculty lounge subscriber or a patron at patreon.com slash the sister wives professor,

you will know that the August sister wives deep dive podcast has dropped exclusively for patrons and subscribers,

decoding Mary Brown part two through the Johari window, where I talk all about the Johari window concepts, which I have alluded to and discussed another podcast, but not in depth.

We apply this to Mary to talk about her hidden self, her unknown self, and her public self,

and how those pains of that window have shifted all the time with the show and when she was young and where she is now.

It's a really substantive and hopefully interesting podcast that, again, is available to you at patreon.com

slash the sister wives professor, or if you're listening on Apple and you'd rather just

subscribe right through the Apple Podcast app, you can do that too.

Now, let's get to the episode, okay, and we start, speaking of Mary, we start out at Mary's

house today, and Christine is there, Chuli, Cody, lots of people there, Mary's get to the episode, okay? And we start, speaking of Mary, we start out at Mary's house today. And Christine is there, Chuli, Cody, lots of people there. Mary's talking to Cody about how he's really excited to see his brothers. And Mary says she kind of wishes she was going too. Mary likes to be included. We know that. I can understand that. I don't want to be included necessarily. Well, I do. I want to be invited. I just don't want to go. You know what I mean? I don't necessarily want to go do things, but if you don't invite me, then I'm going to take that personally. Not really, but kind of really. I don't know. Well, Scott Brown, Michael Brown, and Curtis, as well as Curtis's wife, Erica, are coming into Las Vegas to spend some time with the

Browns, and Cody quite excited, as you might imagine, and he is literally dusting off his motorcycle

jackets. This was such a brief moment, but I loved it so much. So this jacket that Cody is putting on,
