Hello and dazzle. 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,

and that's, of course, what we're talking about today.

Thank you so much.

Everybody who signed up to Patreon at the $8 graduate tier and above and all my faculty lounge subscribers on Apple who tuned in the other day to my wife and I's book club podcast,

covering Jeanette McCurdy's book, I'm glad my mom died. That was a very harrowing book. I'm glad I read it. It was tough. And I think that Amanda and I had a really good discussion, so I hope you enjoyed that. If you listened to it, I want to remind you that this coming Friday, we are having our listener meetup. Amanda and I and the kids are actually pretty soon here going to head out a couple days, head out to Minneapolis for our conference. And on Friday the 17th at 5 p.m. until 7, give or take, we're going to be at Brits Pub in Minneapolis. So if you are interested in meeting me, meeting my wife, I'm going to be there. I got long hair. I'm going to wear a sister wife's professor t-shirt. My pictures are all

over Instagram too if you don't know what I look like. And if you want to check that out, Sister Wives Professor on Instagram, you can always follow me there if you want to. But yeah, this Friday, the 17th, Brits Pub in Minneapolis 5 p.m. feel free to come by. Have a drink or don't. say hi to me or don't, although that'd be weird for you

to come out there and not say hi to me, but you know what, you have that right. But if you

want to say hi to me, I would be so, so, so happy. So let's get to the episode, though. That's

enough preamble. Sister Wives, season six, episode five, Christmas surprise, Christmas time in April. I love it. I love Christmas sister

wife stuff. You might have heard me say that, although it's been a while since I've had the

occasion to talk about it, but I like Christmas episodes of anything, whether it's reality or

fictional TV. You know what I mean? I guess this is kind of fictional TV. Har-har, you know what I mean. I love Christmas episodes, especially of sister wives. So really, really stoked for this, although we're going to find out this is not actually Christmas. I mean, it isn't, it isn't. Maybe we'll talk about that. We are moving. One of the Brown family's favorite things to do, moving. But this is a joyous day for Christine, moving into her house, as she says.

I mean, she said it less like a NBA hype man, but she still said it very Christine-ish, which I like.

They can't move everything today, Christine says, and Cody seems fine with that.

He's being constructive.

He's got his moving gloves on.

That guy loves his moving gloves.

Glove, love.
