The Sister Wives Professor

It's time for a teen sex talk! Not the purity talk. And it's not... really about sex? Regardless, the Brown teenagers go on a group date that isn't a date. Kody gets mad that he isn't immediately a licensed realtor and processes it by deadlifting Christine and handing her a knife. And man, I really missed this show.

Dr. Adam is back to Sister Wives, and hopes you're ready to take another look at the Brown family. If not, that's totally okay too, as Seeking Sister Wife and other content will continue.

I've thought about this a lot, and appreciate everyone's encouragement to continue. I feel comfortable getting back to it, and respect your decision either way.

Announcements abounds, both for Moriah Plath and... for me? So stay tuned to the end, please.

The Plath family ends the season on a high note though there's some bitterness from Kim and Barry. Micah shows up late to work on his first day. I drop not one but two KISS references. All that and some words about where we're going to go from here with this podcast.

Hi all

I am taking a week off due to a summer course i'm teaching. I wanted to give you something to listen to, so here is an unreleased podcast I recorded for the old patreon.

I review and mostly react to the Discovery + documentary "Keep Sweet." It discusses the FLDS community in Short Creek, Warren Jeffs, and a lot more.

I hope you enjoy. I will be back with more next week.

Dr. Adam discusses Micah's foray into modeling. Kim and Barry have a heart-to-heart with Olivia and Ethan. And Lydia makes food. Kim's inability to look outside of herself and her insecurities come into focus more and more, and it will have major impacts on the family in the future.

Bernie and Brandy go on a date, and Paige is heartbroken. Vanessa's sisters seem to warm up to the Snowdens... slightly? And Jeff Aldrege does some detective work to confirm what we all knew several episodes ago. Zones of space, expectation vs. reality, and poor communication skills all over the place as Dr. Adam unpacks a pretty darn dense episode of the show.
