Hello, as always, welcome to the sister wives professor, my podcast where I talk to you about reality television, mostly sister wives stuff, but also, of course, the current and some past,

seasons of Welcome to Plathville. If you're just tuning in to check out the current season of Plathville and you want to listen to some podcasts, I'm happy to do that with you. I also have some of the older seasons in the archives. If you want to check that out, I do recommend it. We're getting to it. I got a coconut milk chai tea latte today. It's very exciting for me. I'm trying to go off carbonation

even because I got I got some tummy stuff. My tummy crew. It's not great. It's not great, is it?

But no, I got, yeah, so I'm doing all right. I'm actually enjoying this. I love a good chai tea

latte. It's like autumn in a cup. But we're here to talk about welcome to

Plathville. I don't have any announcements other than thanks for being here. I appreciate you and I'm glad to

talk to you. Let's talk about Plathville season 8, episode 9. It's all Catty Wampus. And yeah,

these titles are, I don't know, just phrases, old-timey phrases, that's fine. I don't know that I have an opinion. Like, it's not like it bothers me, but it does seem weird. But doesn't it make more sense to have it be a quote from the episode or something, like Plathville typically does? I don't know. Maybe TLC is bored. You ever think about that if you're the producer and so you've been on a show producing for eight seasons and you go, I don't know, what can I do to entertain myself? It almost feels like that might be going on. I don't know, but here we go. Kim has driven for 16 hours over two days to arrive at Ethan's house in Wisconsin, but he's not there. If you do not remember, Kim is rolling up because Ethan spent Christmas alone,

other than Tegan bringing him some leftovers, and Kim, as a parent, I think understandably is quite

concerned about her kid, because, objectively speaking, whether you care or not, Ethan is doing very,

very badly. And we're going to talk all about that in a bit. But yeah, she is going on into Ethan's

house with his permission. She got the code to go in, but I'll be honest, if it was Kim Plath and I

didn't see her enter the code or whatever, I could see her jimmying it with a credit card. She loves

credit cards, especially Ethan's credit cards, As we know, hey, that was pretty

good. Put that together, right? Not bad. That was an improv. Yeah, she's wandering around the very,

very empty, sad man house. This is a divorced dad house, which is funny because Ethan is at this point,

neither a dad. Somehow, not even divorced. I don't think. I don't think that they got that paperwork

done yet, which is

amazing. And I guess I get why it's empty. He chose to randomly did his goodwill hunting move.

He's sleeping on blankets on the floor like he's me when I was 22. Woof. The Kimmison mom mode going
