Hello and welcome, as always, to the sister wives professor.

That's me. I'm Dr. Adam, real life professor of communication and longtime follower of Welcome to Plathville.

And sister wives and seeking sister wife and all the other stuff I like to talk to you about. Should I just become the reality professor? I don't know. I love being the sister wives professor. But then sometimes, not very often, but sometimes people ask me, why are you cover and welcome to Plathville? Oh, it's fun. And this is a new season, so that's exciting. You know what is really exciting for me? Maybe I'll post a picture on social media. Probably not. I'll probably forget. But I have right in front of me. So I have my microphone. I'm in the closet. My cat Barbie is sleeping in a pile of my

pajamas. So I'm looking at Barbie. I'm looking at my microphone, my laptop on my little miniature

desk I bring into the sister

wives closet.

And behind my laptop is a bag of unopened hurrybo golden bears, gummy bears.

That as soon as I'm done with this podcast, I'm going to open and eat, I'm like a five-year-old.

I'm like bribing myself like a kid.

Not because I don't want to do this. I'm not bribing myself. That's the wrong word. I'm delaying gratification, which my therapist correctly says I need to work on. So I have a bag of gummy bears. And as soon as I'm done with this recording, I'm going to close the laptop and eat those gummy bears. So there you go. If you ever wonder what I'm doing, I don't know.

Maybe you do, maybe you don't. But I like to know what you're doing when you listen to this podcast, by the way. So as always, if you want to tell me what you're doing, you can post in the Facebook group, the Sister Wives Professor Study Hall, or you are more than welcome to send me an email about that or anything else you want to talk to me about. The sister wives professor at gmail.com getting and responding to your emails. It's one of my very favorite parts of this entire process. That having been said, sorry I've got two cats. Hey, hey, Ken. Ken, don't, don't sweetheart. Sorry, I got two cats in here. Ken is looking for his sister Barbie.

No, I didn't name these cats. It's, it's all fine. We adopted them like the same weekend as we saw the Barbie movie. Don't worry about it. Kenny, Kenny, be good. Be good, okay. Wow, okay, enough cat talk, as if there is such a thing. Time to talk about Welcome to Blaville Season 8, episode two. you catch more flies with honey.

Well, we pick back up at the outside talk that the entire

assembly time to talk about Welcome to Blathville Season 8 episode 2. You Catch More Flies with Honey. Well,

we pick back up at the outside talk that the entire assembled Plath family was having,

including young Zach and Lydia. Lydia's not done yet. Zach is reminding us they're talking to

the whole family due to a lot of hurt and miscommunication, especially surrounding their wedding

and the events leading up to it. They want to talk throughication, especially surrounding their wedding and the events

leading up to it, they want to talk through it, which I think is the right thing to do. This is a

deviation from the Plath family norm to say the least, and everybody seems to be aware of it,

which is the interesting thing. But they're still holding hands, Lydia and Zach. Lydia points out a lot
