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

That is me. I'm Dr. Adam, Associate Professor of Communication and longtime follower of the TLC series Sister Wives, boy am I ever.

This is my now long-running podcast about Sister Wives and other reality TV shows.

Thanks for joining me.

Thanks for letting me be the background noise to the very important things that make up your life.

I've gotten some really genuinely moving emails lately at the sister wives professor at

gmail.com where you too can email me about whatever you want within reason, folks.

I'm just saying, yikes. But no, I've gotten some really sweet emails. I'm not going to say what,

of course, because it's very, very personal, but people listen

to the podcast, struggling and dealing with difficult life circumstances. And if I can do that for

you, the fact that I get to be with you where you are makes being in this closet such a great

place to be. And I am literally in a closet, if you're new. Okay, Sister Wives Season 6,

Episode 10, Polygamist Marriage Therapy. Good thing I'm in therapy. Everybody's on the couch. This is such a good episode, by the way. Holy crap. They're all on the couch. Cody says they've been seeing a marriage therapist in Utah, or rather they were, because they are not in Utah. Her name is Pat, and she specialized in plural families, which is fascinating,

by the way, because they later revealed that they were Pat's first plural family. Now, that does not

mean that Pat does not specialize in plural families after she met the Browns. If anything, I could

see somebody like Pat going, hey, I'm kind of getting my arms around this very unique family style that

exists in this location in Utah. Maybe I can make this my specialization. Good for Pat. I wanted to talk to

Jordan of Sister Wives Go to Therapy about this, but I didn't hear back from her before I had to record this,

so maybe I can have Jordan on sometime. If you don't listen to Sister Wives Go to Therap and you like my podcast, you're only cheating yourself. So you should go look it up. Sister Wives go to therapy. It's everywhere that you listen to this, except my Patreon, I guess. But check it out. She's so good. Very natural. Gifted podcaster. Gifted therapist, I'm sure. I don't know, she's not my therapist.

Not yet. Moving on. Janelle, what on earth is going. Somebody put a nickel in me today,
