00:00:02,344 --> 00:00:04,551
[Kody] Previously on
Sister Wives...
2
00:00:04,586 --> 00:00:06,137
I gotta get back in the sun.
3
00:00:06,172 --> 00:00:07,344
I don't wanna get chilled.
4
00:00:07,379 --> 00:00:09,379
Not with coronavirus
going free.
5
00:00:09,413 --> 00:00:11,103
Something's brewing.
6
00:00:11,137 --> 00:00:14,241
-It's the respiratory droplets
that we're scared about.
-Yeah, just hold your breath.
7
00:00:14,275 --> 00:00:18,862
Coronavirus is literally
rolling through society.
8
00:00:18,896 --> 00:00:20,931
We'll have to decide
what we really want.
9
00:00:20,965 --> 00:00:23,827
Do you want to have
a relationship
10
00:00:23,862 --> 00:00:25,482
with your sister wife?
11
00:00:25,517 --> 00:00:27,965
Maybe, and this
would be heartbreaking,
12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,413
there are some of us
who are like, "Look, I don't
want it anymore."
13
00:00:30,448 --> 00:00:32,827
Yeah, I'm sure everybody
hates me all the time.
14
00:00:32,862 --> 00:00:37,000
Uh, I don't know why
Christine is saying this.
15
00:00:37,034 --> 00:00:39,448
Like, that's, that's scary.
16
00:00:39,482 --> 00:00:41,034
[Kody]
I was out of turn
17
00:00:41,068 --> 00:00:45,000
because I was angry
because I felt like
I was giving,
18
00:00:45,034 --> 00:00:47,482
like I was giving you
what you wanted,
and then you didn't want it,
19
00:00:47,517 --> 00:00:50,413
and I gave you
what you wanted,
and you didn't want it.
20
00:00:50,448 --> 00:00:52,448
-That's, that's how
I perceived it.
-[Robyn] That's weird.
21
00:00:52,482 --> 00:00:54,310
-Okay.
-And I apologize.
22
00:00:54,655 --> 00:00:55,793
Thank you.
23
00:00:55,827 --> 00:00:57,310
Whatever.
24
00:00:57,344 --> 00:00:59,655
I'm just acquiescing here.
This is ridiculous.
25
00:01:43,551 --> 00:01:47,103
So, a few months ago,
there was this emerging virus
26
00:01:47,137 --> 00:01:50,758
called coronavirus, COVID-19.
27
00:01:50,793 --> 00:01:52,620
And it got
into the United States
28
00:01:52,655 --> 00:01:55,482
and became what they're calling pandemic.
29
00:01:55,517 --> 00:01:59,482
Public health became concerned
about this coronavirus enough
30
00:01:59,517 --> 00:02:01,517
to start closing
some businesses.
31
00:02:01,551 --> 00:02:03,379
They've closed
some college campuses.
32
00:02:03,413 --> 00:02:06,103
Even Aspyn's mall was closed,
where she was working.
33
00:02:12,034 --> 00:02:15,034
Last week, the five adults,
we were in Utah
34
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:17,000
looking at wedding venues
with Audrey and Mariah.
35
00:02:18,172 --> 00:02:20,655
Now almost everybody is home.
36
00:02:20,689 --> 00:02:22,413
The family needs to
sort of connect.
37
00:02:22,448 --> 00:02:25,413
So we're gonna do a call,
basically, where we'll be able
38
00:02:25,448 --> 00:02:27,793
to see each other
on our screens.
39
00:02:28,379 --> 00:02:30,655
Hello! Hey, guys.
40
00:02:30,689 --> 00:02:31,827
Hey, you're sideways.
41
00:02:31,862 --> 00:02:33,379
-You're sideways.
-You're sideways.
42
00:02:34,482 --> 00:02:35,827
No, you're sideways.
43
00:02:35,862 --> 00:02:37,551
You're sideways.
44
00:02:37,586 --> 00:02:38,931
Can I fix that at all?
45
00:02:38,965 --> 00:02:41,517
I'm afraid to touch anything
'cause I'm new to this.
46
00:02:41,551 --> 00:02:43,068
[chuckles] I don't know.
47
00:02:43,103 --> 00:02:46,551
Okay? So, yeah. No, this is,
like, my first teleconference
on my phone.
48
00:02:46,586 --> 00:02:48,344
So I don't exactly know
what I'm doing here.
49
00:02:48,379 --> 00:02:50,896
And apparently, I'm...
I think we'll leave it
like that.
50
00:02:50,931 --> 00:02:53,241
Unlock your phone.
Maybe try unlocking
your phone.
51
00:02:53,275 --> 00:02:56,310
No, I did unlock it.
I unlocked it already.
52
00:02:56,344 --> 00:02:59,275
After the wedding venue tour,
um, I got home
53
00:02:59,310 --> 00:03:01,310
and then Gwendlyn, Ysabel,
54
00:03:01,344 --> 00:03:03,827
and Truely and I
went to North Carolina
55
00:03:03,862 --> 00:03:06,034
to visit Maddie and Caleb
and Axel and Evie K.
56
00:03:06,068 --> 00:03:08,275
What if I just turn
my phone the other way?
57
00:03:08,827 --> 00:03:10,310
[Janelle chuckles]
58
00:03:11,206 --> 00:03:13,482
There. Is that better?
59
00:03:14,965 --> 00:03:16,620
Am I still sideways?
60
00:03:16,655 --> 00:03:19,379
I called Maddie first
to make sure
she was good with it,
61
00:03:19,413 --> 00:03:22,137
but it wasn't, like,
it wasn't as alarming.
62
00:03:22,172 --> 00:03:24,448
Covid wasn't as alarming
at that point.
63
00:03:24,482 --> 00:03:26,655
After we got North Carolina,
64
00:03:26,689 --> 00:03:29,827
that's when Covid became
more of a scare.
65
00:03:29,862 --> 00:03:31,655
It's supposed to be
spring break.
66
00:03:31,689 --> 00:03:34,862
Yeah, no.
Craziest spring break ever.
How's Flagstaff?
67
00:03:34,896 --> 00:03:36,413
Quiet.
68
00:03:36,448 --> 00:03:39,448
Christine won't be home
physically in Flagstaff
for another few days.
69
00:03:39,482 --> 00:03:41,620
This stuff is all unfolding
really fast.
70
00:03:41,655 --> 00:03:44,931
I think we just need
to touch base and see
where everybody's at
71
00:03:44,965 --> 00:03:48,137
and try to make a game plan
with this really,
72
00:03:48,172 --> 00:03:49,862
this quickly
changing landscape.
73
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:52,448
I am not kidding
when I tell you
I have sleepless nights.
74
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:53,896
I wake up several times
in the night
75
00:03:53,931 --> 00:03:56,275
worrying that I'm not gonna
be able to make it back home.
76
00:03:56,310 --> 00:03:58,000
You might be stuck, Christine,
77
00:03:58,034 --> 00:04:00,103
because what I'm hearing
is that it's...
78
00:04:00,137 --> 00:04:03,103
The big... The big worry
is that it's being
79
00:04:03,137 --> 00:04:07,310
transported via airplanes
because people are traveling.
80
00:04:07,344 --> 00:04:09,793
We're concerned about 'em
closing the airports.
81
00:04:09,827 --> 00:04:12,275
That'd make it really hard
for people to travel.
82
00:04:12,310 --> 00:04:15,827
Like, Christine to get home
with the kids
from North Carolina.
83
00:04:15,862 --> 00:04:19,310
What if all of our flights
got cancelled because airlines
stopped flying?
84
00:04:19,344 --> 00:04:20,517
I didn't know
what was gonna happen.
85
00:04:20,551 --> 00:04:22,586
No one knows.
No one knows what's happening.
86
00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:24,827
This whole thing
is stressing me out so bad
87
00:04:24,862 --> 00:04:27,413
that the kids and I
are self-quarantining
at home right now.
88
00:04:27,862 --> 00:04:28,931
Oh, wow.
89
00:04:28,965 --> 00:04:31,862
I've had pneumonia before
and Sol has had...
90
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:34,896
Sol had RSV
when he was little,
91
00:04:34,931 --> 00:04:37,482
and I've talked
to our family doctor
on the phone,
92
00:04:37,517 --> 00:04:39,241
and she basically said
93
00:04:39,275 --> 00:04:41,517
those two things right there
94
00:04:41,551 --> 00:04:44,068
are, like,
high-risk situations.
95
00:04:44,103 --> 00:04:45,931
RSV is a virus
96
00:04:45,965 --> 00:04:49,034
that you basically
can suffocate to death.
97
00:04:50,586 --> 00:04:52,551
Somehow Sol all had got RSV.
98
00:04:52,586 --> 00:04:55,034
I took him in
to my pediatrician,
99
00:04:55,068 --> 00:04:56,862
and they, within minutes,
100
00:04:56,896 --> 00:04:58,793
they almost admitted him
to the hospital,
101
00:04:58,827 --> 00:05:00,827
but it basically
weakened his lungs.
102
00:05:00,862 --> 00:05:04,482
You know, I mean, at my house, it doesn't seem like
very much has changed.
103
00:05:04,517 --> 00:05:06,724
We're still kind of in the spring break mentality.
104
00:05:06,758 --> 00:05:08,241
So we're just
kicking around home,
105
00:05:08,275 --> 00:05:10,137
but nothing
seems that different.
106
00:05:10,172 --> 00:05:13,551
I... We're still kind of
in this mentality of like,
107
00:05:13,586 --> 00:05:14,931
"Oh, it's a long
spring break."
108
00:05:14,965 --> 00:05:17,689
Based on
what I'm seeing online
109
00:05:17,724 --> 00:05:19,896
and all of the research
I've been doing,
110
00:05:19,931 --> 00:05:24,241
We, we might be here longer
than just a couple of weeks.
111
00:05:24,275 --> 00:05:25,655
I guess I'm optimistic.
112
00:05:25,689 --> 00:05:27,689
I don't think it's gonna
be over in two weeks,
113
00:05:27,724 --> 00:05:29,551
but I'm hoping that, like,
by three or four,
114
00:05:29,586 --> 00:05:31,172
they have it under control
115
00:05:31,206 --> 00:05:32,482
'cause we have
this small town.
116
00:05:32,517 --> 00:05:34,275
We have no exposures yet.
117
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:36,000
I'm crossing my fingers
that you're right.
118
00:05:36,034 --> 00:05:38,137
I just don't know.
We live only two hours away
119
00:05:38,172 --> 00:05:40,206
from one of the biggest cities in the United States.
120
00:05:40,241 --> 00:05:41,896
So I'm a little nervous
about it.
121
00:05:41,931 --> 00:05:44,517
Because everybody else
is being careful,
122
00:05:44,551 --> 00:05:46,000
I'm gonna be careful.
123
00:05:46,034 --> 00:05:48,172
I mean, yes, you don't want
to get it yourself.
124
00:05:48,206 --> 00:05:50,482
That's the truth.
But at the same time,
the big thing,
125
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:54,103
the reason why they're having
everybody social distance
and stay at home
126
00:05:54,137 --> 00:05:56,310
is so that it doesn't
spread to everybody else.
127
00:05:56,344 --> 00:05:58,310
So it's... The issue is,
is that in the hospitals,
128
00:05:58,344 --> 00:06:00,034
they don't have the equipment
129
00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:01,931
to take care of people
who are sick.
130
00:06:01,965 --> 00:06:04,586
When I come back
to North Carolina,
131
00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:07,413
are we gonna
need to be quarantined?
132
00:06:07,448 --> 00:06:12,172
So, as long as we
all stay away
from other people
133
00:06:12,206 --> 00:06:14,482
and our kids
stay away from other people,
134
00:06:14,517 --> 00:06:16,103
then we're probably
gonna be fine.
135
00:06:16,137 --> 00:06:18,448
We just need to keep us
and our children,
136
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:21,310
um, unexposed.
137
00:06:21,344 --> 00:06:23,482
Here's the thing.
We are a big family,
138
00:06:23,517 --> 00:06:25,517
but we don't see each other
every day.
139
00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:28,482
Like, if we're just kind of
keeping our distance
140
00:06:28,517 --> 00:06:30,310
from town and everybody else,
141
00:06:30,344 --> 00:06:32,655
like, I'm not
too concerned about it.
142
00:06:32,689 --> 00:06:34,275
If we're all being careful...
143
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:35,517
I mean,
we're not going anywhere
144
00:06:35,551 --> 00:06:38,172
except for the grocery store
that's needed or whatever.
145
00:06:38,206 --> 00:06:39,758
...couldn't we all
just hang together?
146
00:06:39,793 --> 00:06:41,103
So that's where I'm at.
147
00:06:41,137 --> 00:06:42,827
You guys don't think...
You guys think
it's okay and safe
148
00:06:42,862 --> 00:06:46,551
for us to kinda
spend time together?
149
00:06:46,586 --> 00:06:48,172
I mean, I guess
that's my thought process.
150
00:06:48,206 --> 00:06:50,482
I envision us,
like, just hanging out
151
00:06:50,517 --> 00:06:53,448
with all this spare time,
and, like--
152
00:06:53,482 --> 00:06:56,724
You think that's safe for us
to be, like, spending time
153
00:06:56,758 --> 00:06:58,655
with each other
and stuff like that?
154
00:06:58,689 --> 00:07:00,620
Yeah, 'cause I think
we're all being careful.
155
00:07:00,655 --> 00:07:03,137
I mean, to me, this seems,
like, a kind of a bonus thing.
156
00:07:03,172 --> 00:07:04,379
Like, I've been wanting
the family
157
00:07:04,413 --> 00:07:06,344
to be more close together
and spend more time.
158
00:07:06,379 --> 00:07:08,931
And now we're gonna have to
almost do it out of necessity.
159
00:07:08,965 --> 00:07:10,172
Can't go anywhere,
can't do anything,
160
00:07:10,206 --> 00:07:11,413
can't buy anything,
can't eat out.
161
00:07:11,448 --> 00:07:13,379
But, you know, we can all
hang out together at home.
162
00:07:13,413 --> 00:07:16,793
[Robyn]
Under the circumstances
I'm, I'm a little nervous.
163
00:07:16,827 --> 00:07:19,758
I'm cautious.
I feel a little bit
stressed out by it.
164
00:07:19,793 --> 00:07:22,000
I don't think
this is going away.
165
00:07:23,172 --> 00:07:25,241
For me right now I have
Garrison and Gabriel
166
00:07:25,275 --> 00:07:27,620
who are in the prime
of their social life.
167
00:07:27,655 --> 00:07:29,620
So I'm asking 'em
to be really careful
168
00:07:29,655 --> 00:07:32,103
about going out and staying
socially distanced.
169
00:07:32,137 --> 00:07:34,689
And they're starting to feel
a little bit, like,
170
00:07:34,724 --> 00:07:36,517
"Are you sure
we're not overreacting?"
171
00:07:36,551 --> 00:07:39,724
'Cause it's really kind of
changed their culture.
172
00:07:39,758 --> 00:07:42,034
It's, it's hard. It's hard
on these older kids
173
00:07:42,068 --> 00:07:44,379
who are used to being
out about with their friends.
174
00:07:44,413 --> 00:07:45,758
And I'm starting
to see little...
175
00:07:45,793 --> 00:07:48,586
I'm starting to see
little pieces of that
at my house.
176
00:07:48,620 --> 00:07:51,172
I don't know what to think.
It's kind of surreal.
177
00:07:51,206 --> 00:07:52,448
So I see that...
178
00:07:52,482 --> 00:07:55,034
On one hand I feel like,
"Wow, this is fun.
179
00:07:55,068 --> 00:07:56,344
The kids are home
an extra week.
180
00:07:56,379 --> 00:07:57,793
We're gonna have so much fun."
181
00:07:57,827 --> 00:08:00,448
But it's so crazy
'cause of what I see
on the news media
182
00:08:00,482 --> 00:08:02,689
versus what I see
in my local community
is not...
183
00:08:02,724 --> 00:08:04,000
They don't match.
184
00:08:04,034 --> 00:08:06,896
I don't see anybody sick
in Flagstaff, I don't see...
185
00:08:06,931 --> 00:08:08,758
And so I'm like,
wow, what is going on here?
186
00:08:08,793 --> 00:08:10,379
Is this, like,
a big city thing?
187
00:08:10,413 --> 00:08:13,034
Is this, like, a weird thing?
Are they trying
to make me afraid?
188
00:08:13,068 --> 00:08:15,310
You know, I don't really know
what to think right now
189
00:08:15,344 --> 00:08:18,103
as far as us being together
as a family.
190
00:08:18,137 --> 00:08:22,103
I don't want to be isolated
from our family,
191
00:08:22,137 --> 00:08:24,206
but at the same time,
I don't really know
what to think,
192
00:08:24,241 --> 00:08:25,620
what is smart to be doing.
193
00:08:25,655 --> 00:08:27,689
We just...
I just don't know right now.
194
00:08:27,724 --> 00:08:29,862
But I wanna make sure
that we're, you know,
195
00:08:29,896 --> 00:08:31,655
sticking together as a family.
196
00:08:31,689 --> 00:08:35,034
You know, we've had
conversations recently,
197
00:08:35,068 --> 00:08:37,137
somewhat recently about,
you know,
198
00:08:37,172 --> 00:08:39,482
making more of an effort
within the family
199
00:08:39,517 --> 00:08:41,931
to be closer,
to work through issues,
200
00:08:41,965 --> 00:08:45,517
to, you know,
figure things out with us.
201
00:08:45,551 --> 00:08:49,068
If we start talking
about social distancing
from each other
202
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:52,310
because different parts of us
203
00:08:52,344 --> 00:08:55,517
may not be social distancing
from everybody else...
204
00:08:56,896 --> 00:08:58,827
...then it's...
205
00:09:00,103 --> 00:09:02,000
It's like,
"What are what are we doing?
206
00:09:02,034 --> 00:09:03,034
I don't even know.
207
00:09:03,068 --> 00:09:05,034
Like, how can we
work our relationships
208
00:09:05,068 --> 00:09:06,793
if we can't even see
each other to talk to you?
209
00:09:08,241 --> 00:09:11,413
[Kody] If the family
stays away from anybody
that's non-family,
210
00:09:11,448 --> 00:09:13,241
then we'll be able
to hang out all summer.
211
00:09:13,275 --> 00:09:15,551
So is that a hard sacrifice
for us?
212
00:09:15,586 --> 00:09:17,172
It's just a temporary thing.
213
00:09:17,206 --> 00:09:19,000
I mean, we'll be okay, right?
214
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:22,724
I think that it's easy for us
215
00:09:22,758 --> 00:09:24,206
to just sort of take, uh...
216
00:09:25,137 --> 00:09:26,517
...steps that are cautious.
217
00:09:26,551 --> 00:09:28,689
Let's just... Let's just
be careful as a family.
218
00:09:29,379 --> 00:09:31,068
It won't hurt the kids
219
00:09:31,103 --> 00:09:34,586
to avoid being around friends
for a, a little while.
220
00:09:34,620 --> 00:09:35,896
Let's just be careful.
221
00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:40,379
Hi.
222
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:42,827
As a mom, I do not want
Mariah and Audrey
223
00:09:42,862 --> 00:09:44,620
to be stuck in Chicago
224
00:09:44,655 --> 00:09:46,862
if it's gonna be hit
really hard.
225
00:09:46,896 --> 00:09:49,310
So I guess things are
getting kinda crazy
226
00:09:49,344 --> 00:09:51,000
in, like, some other states
227
00:09:51,034 --> 00:09:52,896
that are more
densely populated.
228
00:09:52,931 --> 00:09:54,827
The National Guard
has been called in.
229
00:09:55,551 --> 00:09:57,068
Wow.
230
00:09:57,103 --> 00:10:00,965
So, I think, realistically,
I could survive on four,
231
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,034
but five is gonna be
appropriate, probably.
232
00:10:04,068 --> 00:10:05,896
Whatever it takes
to get the job done
233
00:10:05,931 --> 00:10:07,827
without your fingers
pushing through
234
00:10:07,862 --> 00:10:09,137
-the toilet paper.
-Oh, gosh!
235
00:10:09,586 --> 00:10:10,896
[girl retches]
236
00:10:10,931 --> 00:10:12,517
-I already know
and it's disgusting!
-You fold it in half.
237
00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:14,034
[chuckles]
238
00:10:14,068 --> 00:10:15,551
Oh, gosh. What the heck?
239
00:10:21,724 --> 00:10:23,000
[Kody] Kody's log.
240
00:10:23,034 --> 00:10:27,655
Earth date 03.22.2020.
241
00:10:27,689 --> 00:10:30,172
The whole country
has sort of been told
242
00:10:30,206 --> 00:10:32,344
that we need
to start doing, um...
243
00:10:33,965 --> 00:10:35,655
...social distancing.
244
00:10:35,689 --> 00:10:37,758
That's not an easy thing
for our family.
245
00:10:38,275 --> 00:10:40,034
I got a big family.
246
00:10:40,068 --> 00:10:42,551
I mean, if one of us gets sick
247
00:10:42,586 --> 00:10:44,758
with this Covid thing
going on,
248
00:10:44,793 --> 00:10:47,517
then it's literally
quarantining the family.
249
00:10:47,551 --> 00:10:50,206
The kids are like, "Why can't we see each other?"
250
00:10:51,137 --> 00:10:53,862
Well, because every person
251
00:10:53,896 --> 00:10:56,241
that interacts
with another person
in the family
252
00:10:56,275 --> 00:10:58,793
mathematically increases
253
00:10:58,827 --> 00:11:03,896
the potential exposure
to this virus.
254
00:11:03,931 --> 00:11:07,655
Because I've got family
in three, four different home,
255
00:11:07,689 --> 00:11:09,206
I'm gonna spread this out.
256
00:11:11,482 --> 00:11:14,310
I just barely got back, um,
from North Carolina
257
00:11:14,344 --> 00:11:16,655
and everything's closed.
258
00:11:16,689 --> 00:11:20,862
Flagstaff is dead.
Like, it's dead.
259
00:11:20,896 --> 00:11:22,206
The gyms are closed,
everything's closed.
260
00:11:22,241 --> 00:11:23,724
It's so weird.
261
00:11:25,931 --> 00:11:29,241
I was hoping to have
the family over
for breakfast to discuss,
262
00:11:29,275 --> 00:11:30,413
you know, the next steps
and stuff.
263
00:11:31,413 --> 00:11:33,000
[Kody] So, why aren't we
264
00:11:33,034 --> 00:11:35,206
having a family gathering
this morning?
265
00:11:42,448 --> 00:11:43,586
And no one's coming.
266
00:11:50,896 --> 00:11:52,620
[Gwendlyn] Yeah, I have a bit
of a cold, too.
267
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,896
And...
268
00:11:59,758 --> 00:12:02,689
So, I woke up
and I just felt achy.
269
00:12:02,724 --> 00:12:04,103
Like, I had some congestion
270
00:12:04,137 --> 00:12:06,689
and I was achy,
and my throat
was a little sore.
271
00:12:06,724 --> 00:12:08,758
And I thought, "Oh, my word."
272
00:12:08,793 --> 00:12:10,931
Like, I don't know.
If I get normal sick now...
273
00:12:10,965 --> 00:12:12,655
If it's, if it's...
If I'm normal sick
274
00:12:12,689 --> 00:12:15,724
or if I have the coronavirus,
I have no idea. Like...
275
00:12:16,413 --> 00:12:18,137
It may not be anything.
276
00:12:18,172 --> 00:12:20,965
Likely, it's not anything.
Hopefully, it's not anything.
277
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,896
You know, we just don't
wanna take any risks.
278
00:12:22,931 --> 00:12:24,689
It appears that coronavirus
279
00:12:24,724 --> 00:12:26,931
is going to change
our lifestyle somewhat.
280
00:12:27,896 --> 00:12:30,206
Um, family's
not getting together.
281
00:12:30,241 --> 00:12:32,172
I don't know
how often we're gonna
get together honestly.
282
00:12:32,206 --> 00:12:33,758
No one really wants corona.
283
00:12:33,793 --> 00:12:35,689
You could have let me
put on make-up first.
284
00:12:35,724 --> 00:12:37,758
-Gosh.
-[Child] Whoo!
285
00:12:37,793 --> 00:12:38,586
Oops.
286
00:12:41,103 --> 00:12:42,862
[Robyn]
So, I just found out today
287
00:12:42,896 --> 00:12:47,344
that Flagstaff now has
a case of coronavirus.
288
00:12:48,344 --> 00:12:50,413
And now I feel...
And, like, I felt like...
289
00:12:51,827 --> 00:12:54,172
...because we were so far away
from everything,
290
00:12:54,206 --> 00:12:57,655
because we're kind of,
you know, in this little town
291
00:12:57,689 --> 00:12:59,310
up on the mountain,
that we were okay,
292
00:12:59,344 --> 00:13:01,620
and now, um...
293
00:13:03,172 --> 00:13:06,000
I don't know.
I feel... I feel scared.
294
00:13:12,896 --> 00:13:15,241
[Meri] New York has been hit
really hard with this.
295
00:13:15,275 --> 00:13:17,517
Washington state
and California...
296
00:13:17,551 --> 00:13:19,103
They're all being hit
really hard,
297
00:13:19,137 --> 00:13:21,551
and they're saying
that Chicago
298
00:13:21,586 --> 00:13:24,413
is the next big city
to be hit.
299
00:13:24,448 --> 00:13:25,620
[line ringing]
300
00:13:30,896 --> 00:13:31,931
Hi.
301
00:13:31,965 --> 00:13:33,137
-Hello.
-Hi.
302
00:13:33,172 --> 00:13:35,551
As a mom, I do not want
Mariah and Audrey
303
00:13:35,586 --> 00:13:37,344
to be stuck in Chicago
304
00:13:37,379 --> 00:13:39,517
if it's gonna be hit
really hard.
305
00:13:39,551 --> 00:13:41,793
So I guess things
are getting kinda crazy
306
00:13:41,827 --> 00:13:43,827
in, like, some other states
307
00:13:43,862 --> 00:13:45,896
that are more
densely populated.
308
00:13:45,931 --> 00:13:47,620
The National Guard
has been called in.
309
00:13:48,137 --> 00:13:49,379
Wow.
310
00:13:49,413 --> 00:13:51,827
I've been hearing that they're
talking about closing borders
311
00:13:51,862 --> 00:13:54,034
between the states
just to help,
312
00:13:54,068 --> 00:13:56,137
like, this whole
social distance thing
313
00:13:56,172 --> 00:13:58,793
so that people are not
traveling all over the place.
314
00:13:58,827 --> 00:14:02,655
Like, when,
when are these border
gonna be shut down?
315
00:14:02,689 --> 00:14:04,103
Like, I don't even know.
316
00:14:04,137 --> 00:14:07,827
So... So I think
we should, like, go now.
317
00:14:07,862 --> 00:14:09,655
-Yeah.
-You guys want to leave?
318
00:14:09,689 --> 00:14:10,931
-[Mariah] Yeah.
-Like, now?
319
00:14:10,965 --> 00:14:12,827
Pretty much
my jaw was dropping.
320
00:14:12,862 --> 00:14:14,275
I'll come help you guys.
321
00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:16,931
-I'll come do what I need
to do to help you.
-Thank you.
322
00:14:16,965 --> 00:14:18,827
But, like,
what are you thinking?
323
00:14:18,862 --> 00:14:20,827
I mean, like,
as soon as possible.
324
00:14:20,862 --> 00:14:23,448
They're already
planning on moving to Utah.
325
00:14:23,482 --> 00:14:26,724
Like, let's just get you
out of Chicago
326
00:14:26,758 --> 00:14:28,551
and just come here
327
00:14:28,586 --> 00:14:31,551
and just land and breathe
for a second,
and we'll figure it out.
328
00:14:31,586 --> 00:14:35,586
I mean, I can jump
on the plane tonight
or tomorrow and come out.
329
00:14:35,620 --> 00:14:37,413
Oh, my gosh.
Are you guys ready for that?
330
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,310
-No.
-No, actually.
331
00:14:39,344 --> 00:14:41,379
We literally were just talking
about how I'm, like,
332
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:42,793
I'm not ready to go like this.
333
00:14:42,827 --> 00:14:44,862
-No.
-Kinda feels...
334
00:14:44,896 --> 00:14:46,413
-It feels weird.
-Makes you feel sick.
335
00:14:46,448 --> 00:14:48,758
This is the first time
through all of this
336
00:14:48,793 --> 00:14:53,310
that I have really felt
a sense of, like, urgency.
337
00:14:53,344 --> 00:14:56,344
My kids are in a place
and I need to get to them,
338
00:14:56,379 --> 00:14:57,724
and I need to help them
get out.
339
00:14:57,758 --> 00:15:00,137
I feel like I'm in a dream.
I am not even kidding.
340
00:15:00,172 --> 00:15:01,965
It is the weirdest emotion
right now.
341
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,896
I can't imagine
what you guys are thinking.
342
00:15:03,931 --> 00:15:06,000
-My heart is soft.
-It feels like, really...
343
00:15:07,724 --> 00:15:09,344
-I don't even know.
-Ominous.
344
00:15:09,379 --> 00:15:11,344
-Yeah, yeah.
Ominous is a great... Yeah.
-Yeah.
345
00:15:11,379 --> 00:15:12,551
That's a great way
to put it.
346
00:15:14,517 --> 00:15:15,896
[Robyn] I've heard
there's a lot of cases
347
00:15:15,931 --> 00:15:19,551
of Covid-19 in Chicago.
348
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:23,586
Maybe they should just leave,
but it's not my place
to say that to them.
349
00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:25,448
[Christine] Seriously,
they need to leave.
350
00:15:25,482 --> 00:15:27,586
Oh, gosh.
Before it closes down, right?
351
00:15:27,620 --> 00:15:30,482
I don't even know
if I would be functioning
in this situation.
352
00:15:30,517 --> 00:15:32,172
I'm such a slow,
methodical thinker.
353
00:15:32,206 --> 00:15:34,413
I don't do well
in these situations.
354
00:15:34,448 --> 00:15:35,724
Thank goodness Meri does.
355
00:15:35,758 --> 00:15:38,482
And Mariah's pretty
matter of fact.
I think Audrey is too.
356
00:15:38,517 --> 00:15:39,413
But wow.
357
00:15:39,448 --> 00:15:42,172
Let me talk to Dad
358
00:15:42,206 --> 00:15:44,517
and see if he has
any thoughts on it.
359
00:15:44,551 --> 00:15:47,034
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Talk to you soon.
360
00:15:47,068 --> 00:15:49,310
-This is crazy.
Okay. All right.
-This is nuts.
361
00:15:49,344 --> 00:15:50,655
I love you guys.
I'll talk to you soon.
362
00:15:50,689 --> 00:15:52,103
You, too.
I love you, too.
363
00:15:52,137 --> 00:15:53,413
All right, bye.
364
00:15:54,275 --> 00:15:55,827
I... I'm feeling the stress.
365
00:15:56,896 --> 00:15:59,137
And I'm feeling like
I just need to fix it,
366
00:15:59,172 --> 00:16:00,206
I need to do something.
367
00:16:00,241 --> 00:16:02,620
And, like, when my girls
are in danger...
368
00:16:02,655 --> 00:16:04,137
And this is
how I feel right now.
369
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:06,965
They're in danger
and I need to get 'em out
370
00:16:16,689 --> 00:16:17,931
[Christine] Okay, Kody.
371
00:16:17,965 --> 00:16:19,448
[Aspyn]
Are you doing the thing
that Grandpa Bill did?
372
00:16:19,482 --> 00:16:21,862
-[Christine]
No. It's a different one.
-Do you wanna sit down
373
00:16:21,896 --> 00:16:24,000
-and join us?
-[Christine]
374
00:16:24,034 --> 00:16:25,724
This is a real conversation.
375
00:16:25,758 --> 00:16:28,206
We have to ration
toilet paper.
376
00:16:28,241 --> 00:16:29,344
Well, no, it's not just that.
377
00:16:29,379 --> 00:16:32,172
I plunged a toilet that looked
like the whole roll
378
00:16:32,206 --> 00:16:34,758
had been used to wipe
somebody's behind.
379
00:16:34,793 --> 00:16:36,862
I'm not blaming anybody
for using,
380
00:16:36,896 --> 00:16:38,206
but when I have
to plunge a toilet
381
00:16:38,241 --> 00:16:41,482
because a half, a half,
half a roll
382
00:16:41,517 --> 00:16:43,034
is in the toilet...
383
00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:45,379
Now, I had to...
I've caught other little kids.
384
00:16:45,413 --> 00:16:48,379
I mean,
it's normal for little kids
to go like this.
385
00:16:48,413 --> 00:16:49,482
This is a bad idea.
386
00:16:49,517 --> 00:16:51,931
Don't do this. This is not
how you wipe your bottom.
387
00:16:52,551 --> 00:16:53,655
Okay? You don't just--
388
00:16:53,689 --> 00:16:55,103
[Gwendlyn] You're wasting
all of that.
389
00:16:55,137 --> 00:16:57,413
-That's a humongous waste.
-Believe me, I'll use it.
390
00:16:57,448 --> 00:16:59,862
Now I realize
that keeps your fingers
391
00:16:59,896 --> 00:17:01,862
from pushing through,
392
00:17:01,896 --> 00:17:04,482
but that's a humongous waste,
all right?
393
00:17:04,517 --> 00:17:07,586
'Cause you get one good wipe,
and that's all.
394
00:17:07,620 --> 00:17:09,655
Yeah, I've been to the store
a couple of times,
395
00:17:09,689 --> 00:17:12,000
and the toilet paper
396
00:17:12,034 --> 00:17:14,655
and paper towel aisles
are empty.
397
00:17:15,413 --> 00:17:16,827
Empty.
398
00:17:16,862 --> 00:17:20,586
Now one, one square
is way too little, okay?
399
00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:22,137
That's, that's the miserly,
400
00:17:22,172 --> 00:17:23,413
and we're not
gonna be miserly.
401
00:17:23,448 --> 00:17:24,758
That's just disgusting.
402
00:17:24,793 --> 00:17:26,896
I don't know
what their toilet paper
situation is.
403
00:17:26,931 --> 00:17:28,551
I think... Goodness,
am I one of those people
404
00:17:28,586 --> 00:17:30,931
who has, like, a big shipment
delivered every three months
405
00:17:30,965 --> 00:17:33,172
because I hate going
to the grocery store?
406
00:17:33,206 --> 00:17:35,965
So I'm good because
I'm a toilet paper hog.
407
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,310
I am.
I use lots of toilet paper.
408
00:17:38,344 --> 00:17:41,034
So I would be
a very guilty party
in this conversation.
409
00:17:41,068 --> 00:17:43,241
So one,
one piece is too little.
410
00:17:43,275 --> 00:17:47,413
So I think, realistically,
I can survive on four.
411
00:17:47,448 --> 00:17:51,000
But five is gonna be
appropriate, probably.
412
00:17:51,034 --> 00:17:54,517
And you fold it
and then you fold it.
413
00:17:54,551 --> 00:17:57,689
I'm actually really, um,
a huge culprit
414
00:17:57,724 --> 00:17:59,793
when it comes to using
too much toilet paper.
415
00:17:59,827 --> 00:18:02,310
And then once you've done
one swipe...
416
00:18:02,344 --> 00:18:03,689
I'm sorry this is disgusting,
417
00:18:03,724 --> 00:18:05,931
but this is what
you have to talk about
with your kids.
418
00:18:05,965 --> 00:18:07,413
Later on we'll have
a birds and the bees
419
00:18:07,448 --> 00:18:09,000
so Truely knows
how babies are made.
420
00:18:09,034 --> 00:18:10,344
[girl retches]
421
00:18:10,379 --> 00:18:12,586
-I already know
and it's disgusting!
-You fold it in half...
422
00:18:12,620 --> 00:18:15,275
You know, bathroom
experiences are private.
423
00:18:15,310 --> 00:18:16,551
They're embarrassing.
424
00:18:16,586 --> 00:18:17,793
And here we are
talking about it.
425
00:18:17,827 --> 00:18:18,758
It's awesome.
426
00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:20,931
If you're really good
and skilled,
427
00:18:20,965 --> 00:18:22,827
you might be able to get
three wipes
428
00:18:22,862 --> 00:18:24,862
out of this
by folding it in half...
429
00:18:24,896 --> 00:18:28,000
Whatever it takes
to get the job done
without your fingers
430
00:18:28,034 --> 00:18:30,068
-pushing through
the toilet paper.
-Oh, gosh!
431
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,517
What about...
About when you have...
432
00:18:33,551 --> 00:18:36,103
When you, you...
When you just...
433
00:18:36,137 --> 00:18:37,310
[Kody] When it's messy?
434
00:18:37,344 --> 00:18:38,586
-[Christine] When you poop?
-Yeah.
435
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:40,758
-[Kody] Well, just--
-And you need
a lot of toilet paper.
436
00:18:40,793 --> 00:18:42,034
All right. Once again--
437
00:18:42,068 --> 00:18:43,517
[Christine] No, wait.
I have an answer. No.
438
00:18:43,551 --> 00:18:45,620
You put a little bit of lotion
on your toilet paper.
439
00:18:45,655 --> 00:18:46,896
[Gwendlyn retches]
440
00:18:46,931 --> 00:18:48,931
You put a little bit of lotion
on your toilet paper
441
00:18:48,965 --> 00:18:50,931
and it'll pick things up
a lot easier.
442
00:18:50,965 --> 00:18:52,517
-God, why are we--
-No, that's Brazil.
443
00:18:52,551 --> 00:18:53,758
That is from Brazil.
444
00:18:53,793 --> 00:18:55,482
Take this seriously, ladies.
445
00:18:55,517 --> 00:18:57,241
I just plunged a toilet.
446
00:18:57,275 --> 00:19:00,655
And when I'm not here,
you have to plunge it, lady.
447
00:19:00,689 --> 00:19:02,034
You have to plunge it
when I'm not here.
448
00:19:02,068 --> 00:19:04,103
-Dude, I plunge the toilets
when you're not here.
-No, no.
449
00:19:04,137 --> 00:19:06,965
-You realize that?
-Every house that I'm at,
I plunge the toilet.
450
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,413
And I have
to plunge them often.
451
00:19:08,448 --> 00:19:09,965
[Ysabel] Dad, thank you
for this lesson.
452
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,241
-I will remember it
for the rest of my life.
-[Christine] Grandpa Bill!
453
00:19:12,275 --> 00:19:13,586
-Grandpa Bill!
-[Aspyn] Do you remember that?
454
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:15,103
[Christine]
Yeah, Grandpa Bill lesson.
455
00:19:15,137 --> 00:19:17,137
-[Truely] And, Dad, I already
know how babies are made.
-All right, stop.
456
00:19:17,172 --> 00:19:18,896
-The Grandpa Bill lesson...
-It was traumatizing.
457
00:19:18,931 --> 00:19:20,689
Grandpa Bill is Meri's dad.
458
00:19:20,724 --> 00:19:22,758
The Grandpa Bill lesson...
Just listen.
459
00:19:24,517 --> 00:19:25,758
[Christine] It only takes
one square.
460
00:19:25,793 --> 00:19:26,965
One square.
461
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,655
Yeah, that's, that's...
That's my dad.
462
00:19:29,689 --> 00:19:31,000
Grab it in a corner.
463
00:19:31,896 --> 00:19:33,586
-[Ysabel gasps] No!
-[Truely] No!
464
00:19:33,620 --> 00:19:34,689
-[Ysabel gasps]
-Wipe!
465
00:19:35,965 --> 00:19:37,172
Wipe.
466
00:19:37,206 --> 00:19:39,413
[chuckles] Oh, gosh.
467
00:19:39,448 --> 00:19:43,758
Oh! Ugh! This is kinda
starting to turn
my stomach a little bit.
468
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:45,448
Wipe.
469
00:19:47,137 --> 00:19:48,965
-Clean out your fingernails.
-[Mitch groans]
470
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
[Ysabel] No!
471
00:19:50,793 --> 00:19:53,413
It is absolutely disgusting!
472
00:19:53,448 --> 00:19:55,896
But this is the humor
of my dad!
473
00:19:55,931 --> 00:19:58,689
It was a joke.
We never did it that way.
474
00:19:59,310 --> 00:20:00,379
[Christine laughs]
475
00:20:00,413 --> 00:20:02,862
No, that's disgusting!
You're not--
476
00:20:02,896 --> 00:20:04,793
That was amazing.
Thank you, Dad.
477
00:20:04,827 --> 00:20:06,448
Take a bow! Take a bow!
478
00:20:06,482 --> 00:20:08,103
[Christine] Wait.
'Cause that was beautiful!
479
00:20:11,034 --> 00:20:13,793
-[Mariah] Yeah.
-This is just the two of them.
I can't in good conscience,
480
00:20:13,827 --> 00:20:15,517
like, leave just
the two of them to do this.
481
00:20:15,551 --> 00:20:16,724
-That's my problem.
-I know but I--
482
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:18,068
-You--
-But I--
483
00:20:18,103 --> 00:20:20,655
-You getting on a plane
is exposure.
-It's stupid. I know.
484
00:20:20,689 --> 00:20:23,827
Um, this is my daughter,
and I'm gonna go help them.
485
00:20:23,862 --> 00:20:26,793
-This is so hard for me.
-What?
486
00:20:26,827 --> 00:20:30,413
Meri thinks about Meri
and Mariah and Audrey
487
00:20:30,448 --> 00:20:33,758
I'm required
to consider the entire family.
488
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:50,068
[Kody] Hey, everybody,
it's still March 23rd.
489
00:20:50,103 --> 00:20:52,310
Meri called me
and said she had emergency.
490
00:20:52,344 --> 00:20:54,517
She... Well, I guess
it's emergency.
491
00:20:54,551 --> 00:20:58,206
She's gotta talk to me
about something going on
492
00:20:58,241 --> 00:20:59,965
and wanted me to come over
and talk to her.
493
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,551
So I'm headed over
to Meri sounds right now.
494
00:21:03,655 --> 00:21:05,862
Yeah, I'm really
stressed out, actually.
495
00:21:05,896 --> 00:21:08,758
I just had this conversation
with the girls.
496
00:21:08,793 --> 00:21:11,586
If they end up
leaving Chicago now
497
00:21:11,620 --> 00:21:13,896
during all this Covid stuff,
498
00:21:13,931 --> 00:21:15,344
it's gonna be it.
499
00:21:15,379 --> 00:21:17,103
They won't be going back.
500
00:21:17,137 --> 00:21:19,931
I need to figure out
how to help them.
501
00:21:19,965 --> 00:21:22,620
[Kody] Janelle thought she had
an allergy this morning.
502
00:21:22,655 --> 00:21:24,172
So I called her and said,
503
00:21:24,206 --> 00:21:27,793
"Well, why don't we do
a dry run and get a test?
504
00:21:27,827 --> 00:21:29,137
And she's like, you know what?
505
00:21:29,172 --> 00:21:31,758
Their county doesn't have
any money for tests.
506
00:21:31,793 --> 00:21:33,551
You can't run and get a test.
507
00:21:33,586 --> 00:21:35,310
That's gonna be
a struggle, you know?
508
00:21:35,344 --> 00:21:38,206
Hey, runny eyes
and sore throat
and sniffy nose.
509
00:21:38,241 --> 00:21:40,206
That... That's the signs
of Covid.
510
00:21:40,241 --> 00:21:44,551
Wait. That's also everybody
who has seasonal allergies.
511
00:21:44,586 --> 00:21:46,724
So how are we gonna know
without testing?
512
00:21:46,758 --> 00:21:48,655
There's no testing.
513
00:21:48,689 --> 00:21:50,000
I mean, how are we
gonna know?
514
00:21:50,034 --> 00:21:52,586
I think some of the family
is actually worried about
515
00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:54,965
how big our family is,
how much we interact
516
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,310
and, and who takes
517
00:21:57,344 --> 00:21:59,241
this seriously
and who doesn't.
518
00:21:59,275 --> 00:22:01,448
So, I'm the most
dangerous person
in the whole family
519
00:22:01,482 --> 00:22:04,310
when it comes to Covid-19
because I'm going
from house to house.
520
00:22:04,344 --> 00:22:06,482
I could spread it
from house to house.
521
00:22:06,517 --> 00:22:07,965
You pick your side literally.
522
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,620
There's almost a divide, like, "Oh, we need to quarantine
right now"
523
00:22:11,655 --> 00:22:13,103
and others who are going,
"You know what?
524
00:22:13,137 --> 00:22:15,827
Why don't we spread it around
so we can all, you know,
525
00:22:15,862 --> 00:22:18,827
like, check and see
if we're immune to the flu
or if we're gonna get it?"
526
00:22:21,068 --> 00:22:23,965
No, because that's
too much finger pointing.
527
00:22:30,896 --> 00:22:31,758
[door closes]
528
00:22:31,793 --> 00:22:32,724
[Kody] Hi.
529
00:22:33,965 --> 00:22:34,724
[chuckles] Hi.
530
00:22:34,758 --> 00:22:35,724
[Kody] How's going?
531
00:22:35,758 --> 00:22:37,551
I just had...
532
00:22:38,965 --> 00:22:41,000
[exhales deeply]
...a phone call.
533
00:22:41,034 --> 00:22:41,862
[Kody] All right.
534
00:22:41,896 --> 00:22:43,827
I don't know at this point
535
00:22:43,862 --> 00:22:46,586
if I need to just
get on a plane
and fly out tonight.
536
00:22:46,620 --> 00:22:48,241
I'm feeling the anxiety.
537
00:22:48,275 --> 00:22:50,965
I can't imagine what Mariah
and Audrey are feeling.
538
00:22:53,655 --> 00:22:56,724
Listen, I don't wanna
shut Meri down, but in the...
539
00:22:56,758 --> 00:22:57,965
And so I'm being
really careful
540
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,586
'cause Meri's in a bit
of a panic mode.
541
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:00,931
"I've gotta go
rescue my daughter.
542
00:23:00,965 --> 00:23:02,241
I gotta go
rescue my daughter.
543
00:23:02,275 --> 00:23:03,827
I gotta go rescue
my daughter."
544
00:23:03,862 --> 00:23:07,758
And I'm...
I don't wanna stop her
because she'll fight me.
545
00:23:07,793 --> 00:23:11,103
So I'd rather just sort of
slowly work in
546
00:23:11,137 --> 00:23:13,724
the common sense about...
547
00:23:13,758 --> 00:23:17,137
We don't want a rescuing party
being put at risk
548
00:23:17,172 --> 00:23:18,793
'cause we're increasing
our risk.
549
00:23:20,172 --> 00:23:21,241
[phone chimes]
550
00:23:21,275 --> 00:23:22,172
Hi.
551
00:23:22,206 --> 00:23:23,000
-Hi.
-Hello.
552
00:23:23,724 --> 00:23:24,689
[Mariah] This is crazy.
553
00:23:24,724 --> 00:23:27,689
How much stuff
have you guys got?
554
00:23:27,724 --> 00:23:30,103
I don't think it's that much,
but Audrey thinks it's a lot.
555
00:23:30,137 --> 00:23:32,724
No, I don't think it's a lot.
I just think it's more
than she thinks we have.
556
00:23:32,758 --> 00:23:34,931
So, we have, like,
a dining room table
and chairs.
557
00:23:34,965 --> 00:23:36,965
Then we have
our king size bed.
558
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,655
For the price
that it'll cost us to come
out there and get you,
559
00:23:40,689 --> 00:23:44,103
you could probably
replace all that furniture.
560
00:23:44,137 --> 00:23:46,724
You want us to just leave
with what we can put
in our car?
561
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:47,724
[Kody] Here's the thing.
562
00:23:47,758 --> 00:23:49,620
If I come out there,
it's gonna take me
563
00:23:49,655 --> 00:23:52,862
two or three days
to get there with the trailer.
564
00:23:52,896 --> 00:23:56,862
And you put me at risk
with all the rest of family.
565
00:23:56,896 --> 00:23:59,931
Honestly, it was kinda weird
when we got on the call
with them
566
00:23:59,965 --> 00:24:03,620
and Kody just started
talking to them
like I didn't even exist.
567
00:24:03,655 --> 00:24:05,068
"Meri, you're not going."
568
00:24:05,103 --> 00:24:08,137
He never said that,
but it was just like,
569
00:24:08,172 --> 00:24:11,344
Let's talk about other options
that didn't even include me.
570
00:24:11,379 --> 00:24:14,896
And I'm like, um,
this is my daughter
and I'm gonna go help them.
571
00:24:14,931 --> 00:24:16,551
-[Mariah] Yeah.
-This is just the two of them.
572
00:24:16,586 --> 00:24:18,103
I can't, in good conscience,
573
00:24:18,137 --> 00:24:19,758
like, leave just the two
of them to do this.
574
00:24:19,793 --> 00:24:21,241
-That's my problem.
-I know but--
575
00:24:21,275 --> 00:24:23,379
-You getting on a plane
is exposure.
-But I totally get...
576
00:24:23,413 --> 00:24:24,793
It's stupid. I know.
577
00:24:24,827 --> 00:24:28,413
Meri thinks about Meri
and Mariah and Audrey.
578
00:24:28,448 --> 00:24:31,827
I'm required to consider
the entire family.
579
00:24:31,862 --> 00:24:35,137
You guys should pack up
and leave us fast as you can
580
00:24:35,172 --> 00:24:36,862
if you're gonna do this.
581
00:24:36,896 --> 00:24:39,448
Waiting for me or Mom
to get there...
582
00:24:40,206 --> 00:24:42,965
...is, is stalling you out.
583
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,206
I really do. I understand
that there is a concern.
584
00:24:46,241 --> 00:24:50,137
My thinking is
if there's a risk to me.
585
00:24:50,172 --> 00:24:53,206
I don't care
because I'm gonna help
my daughter.
586
00:24:53,241 --> 00:24:54,793
[Kody] I'll have to calm
Meri down.
587
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:58,724
Meri's very anxious
that she's not there
rescuing them
588
00:24:58,758 --> 00:25:00,379
'cause that's her purpose
in life.
589
00:25:00,413 --> 00:25:03,068
But she's still...
That instinct to go rescue
590
00:25:03,103 --> 00:25:05,517
is just overwhelming her,
and I'm trying to go,
591
00:25:05,551 --> 00:25:07,724
"Hey, it's okay. It's okay.
592
00:25:08,172 --> 00:25:09,689
They'll be okay."
593
00:25:09,724 --> 00:25:13,379
You guys could have, um,
594
00:25:13,413 --> 00:25:14,931
I guess a rental truck.
595
00:25:14,965 --> 00:25:16,896
-Just get this ten-foot truck.
-They can't. They...
596
00:25:16,931 --> 00:25:18,172
Just the two of them can't.
597
00:25:18,206 --> 00:25:20,172
-We can definitely
move everything out.
-Yeah.
598
00:25:20,206 --> 00:25:23,206
[Meri] Listen, right now
there is a lot of stress.
599
00:25:23,241 --> 00:25:26,344
It's this urgency for them
600
00:25:26,379 --> 00:25:28,310
to get out of Chicago.
601
00:25:28,344 --> 00:25:30,241
I'm a mom and I want to help.
602
00:25:30,275 --> 00:25:31,344
That's what I do.
603
00:25:31,379 --> 00:25:33,275
This is so hard for me.
604
00:25:34,068 --> 00:25:35,931
What?
605
00:25:35,965 --> 00:25:38,000
-What, them coming here
by themselves?
-Yes.
606
00:25:38,034 --> 00:25:39,965
-No, I know.
-It doesn't make sense
for you to...
607
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,827
It's just the mom in me
that is doing this.
608
00:25:42,862 --> 00:25:44,620
I don't like it
when he makes sense
609
00:25:44,655 --> 00:25:47,068
when I wanna do something.
[scoffs]
610
00:25:47,103 --> 00:25:50,793
You guys' combined
age is 46, right?
611
00:25:50,827 --> 00:25:51,862
Forty-seven?
612
00:25:51,896 --> 00:25:54,034
You guys
are almost my age, okay?
613
00:25:54,068 --> 00:25:57,172
We are... All of us combined,
we are almost as old as Dad.
614
00:25:57,206 --> 00:26:00,896
Yeah, I could do this
all by myself, okay?
615
00:26:00,931 --> 00:26:03,448
So you guys
could do it together.
616
00:26:03,482 --> 00:26:05,413
I know they could do this
without me.
617
00:26:06,896 --> 00:26:08,344
I just wanna be there for 'em.
618
00:26:11,034 --> 00:26:13,137
-Okay, that sounds good.
-Gather the information.
619
00:26:13,172 --> 00:26:14,724
Find out, okay?
And then let us know.
620
00:26:14,758 --> 00:26:16,310
-Okay. Sounds good.
-Okay. All right.
621
00:26:16,344 --> 00:26:17,482
-Thanks, guys.
-All right. Okay.
622
00:26:17,517 --> 00:26:18,482
-Love you.
-Love you.
623
00:26:18,517 --> 00:26:20,172
-Love you. Talk to you soon.
-Good to see ya.
624
00:26:20,206 --> 00:26:21,344
-Bye-bye.
-Bye.
625
00:26:22,758 --> 00:26:25,896
I just felt helpless
sitting here
and doing nothing.
626
00:26:28,103 --> 00:26:31,620
Meri, uh, that's just part
of being a grown-up.
627
00:26:31,655 --> 00:26:33,379
You and I did
crazier moves than that
628
00:26:33,413 --> 00:26:34,758
when we were
younger than them.
629
00:26:36,862 --> 00:26:38,379
Okay? They can do this.
630
00:26:42,448 --> 00:26:44,275
-[line rings]
-[Kody] Hi, sweetheart.
631
00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:47,275
Honey, I know
that you were
632
00:26:47,310 --> 00:26:48,758
planning on
being here tonight.
633
00:26:48,793 --> 00:26:49,931
I'm just gonna
make the decision.
634
00:26:49,965 --> 00:26:51,758
I want Kody to stay away
from my home
635
00:26:51,793 --> 00:26:53,482
until we can figure out
how bad this is gonna get.
636
00:27:02,034 --> 00:27:04,931
[Meri] So, I've talked
to Mariah a couple
of times today.
637
00:27:04,965 --> 00:27:07,241
They left three days ago.
638
00:27:07,275 --> 00:27:09,034
They've taken three days
to drive here,
639
00:27:09,068 --> 00:27:11,931
and it was
a little bit nerve-racking,
640
00:27:12,482 --> 00:27:14,827
um, the whole situation.
641
00:27:14,862 --> 00:27:17,379
I ended up not going
to help them move,
642
00:27:17,413 --> 00:27:18,758
which was really hard for me.
643
00:27:18,793 --> 00:27:20,862
I wanna be there and help
and I should
644
00:27:20,896 --> 00:27:22,620
because that's what moms do.
645
00:27:22,655 --> 00:27:27,275
But, it, uh...
In light of the whole reason
646
00:27:27,310 --> 00:27:29,068
that they're leaving Chicago,
647
00:27:29,103 --> 00:27:32,206
which is Covid-19,
648
00:27:32,241 --> 00:27:34,931
it doesn't make any sense.
649
00:27:34,965 --> 00:27:36,241
It's foolish of me.
650
00:27:37,517 --> 00:27:40,172
I think it's just
that mom instinct.
651
00:27:40,206 --> 00:27:42,103
When there is a danger
or a threat,
652
00:27:42,137 --> 00:27:44,689
you want your kid
close to you.
653
00:27:44,724 --> 00:27:46,724
-Hi.
-How's it going?
654
00:27:46,758 --> 00:27:49,034
[Meri laughs] Good.
How are you guys?
655
00:27:50,655 --> 00:27:52,068
-I don't know.
-Aww.
656
00:27:52,103 --> 00:27:53,517
The reason that I'm not
actually there
657
00:27:53,551 --> 00:27:55,551
when they come home
and helping them unload
658
00:27:55,586 --> 00:27:58,206
and everything is because,
you know, they traveled
from another state.
659
00:27:58,241 --> 00:27:59,827
I need them to actually, like,
660
00:27:59,862 --> 00:28:03,137
semi-quarantine or quarantine
for a while
661
00:28:03,172 --> 00:28:05,241
before I have
any exposure to 'em.
662
00:28:05,275 --> 00:28:07,344
[Meri] Oh, my goodness!
Oh, my goodness!
663
00:28:07,379 --> 00:28:09,034
-Hi!
-[Mariah] Oh, my goodness.
664
00:28:09,068 --> 00:28:12,379
[Meri] I am glad that Mariah
and Audrey are here.
665
00:28:14,103 --> 00:28:16,689
We're just gonna
quarantine together.
666
00:28:16,724 --> 00:28:19,275
And it means
we're not gonna see
667
00:28:19,310 --> 00:28:21,931
the rest of the family
for a couple of weeks.
668
00:28:21,965 --> 00:28:24,275
-Hi! Hi!
-[Mariah] Oh, my goodness.
Are you thirsty?
669
00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:25,896
[Meri] Are you excited?
670
00:28:25,931 --> 00:28:27,965
Are you so excited to be
in the snow?
671
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,551
Let's go inside and sleep.
672
00:28:29,586 --> 00:28:31,758
[Meri] Okay.
I think the sleeping
is good for you guys.
673
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:41,034
[line rings]
674
00:28:42,172 --> 00:28:43,241
[Kody] Hi, sweetheart.
675
00:28:43,275 --> 00:28:44,655
Hey. Honey, I know
676
00:28:44,689 --> 00:28:48,724
that you were planning
on being here tonight,
677
00:28:48,758 --> 00:28:50,068
but I've really been thinking,
678
00:28:50,103 --> 00:28:53,689
and I'm, I'm, I'm concerned
679
00:28:53,724 --> 00:28:57,448
that this household
at least is a little bit
of a risk point.
680
00:28:57,482 --> 00:28:59,034
I have Garrison.
He's still working.
681
00:28:59,068 --> 00:29:01,965
The construction crews
are all strong.
682
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,448
We shouldn't have you
come for a little bit maybe.
683
00:29:08,689 --> 00:29:10,724
So, I've been kinda
watching the news,
684
00:29:10,758 --> 00:29:12,517
and they're started to talk
about everybody staying home.
685
00:29:12,551 --> 00:29:16,931
But I have Garrison
who works with construction
crews and stuff here in town.
686
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:20,068
I've got Gabriel,
who is being careful
associating with his friends,
687
00:29:20,103 --> 00:29:22,137
but I can't guarantee
what that looks like yet.
688
00:29:22,172 --> 00:29:24,586
So instead of sitting here
and waiting to be told
689
00:29:24,620 --> 00:29:27,413
or it's having something
horrible happen
that makes a decision,
690
00:29:27,448 --> 00:29:28,482
I'm just gonna
make the decision.
691
00:29:28,517 --> 00:29:30,275
I want Kody to stay away
from my home
692
00:29:30,310 --> 00:29:32,655
until we can figure out
how bad this is gonna get.
693
00:29:32,689 --> 00:29:34,517
But, Kody, I have this
because I have boys
694
00:29:34,551 --> 00:29:36,689
that are working
outside the house,
Garrison.
695
00:29:36,724 --> 00:29:39,068
-And this is nobody's fault.
It's just circumstance.
-Yeah.
696
00:29:39,103 --> 00:29:42,034
And I'm trying to be...
I'm trying to be
697
00:29:42,068 --> 00:29:45,758
really brave and really smart
and really logical.
698
00:29:45,793 --> 00:29:49,827
[voice breaks] 'Cause
I don't know what that's like
to not to you for that long.
699
00:29:49,862 --> 00:29:50,896
[clears throat]
700
00:29:50,931 --> 00:29:53,724
Yes, this is hard for me,
but I'm trying to stay
701
00:29:53,758 --> 00:29:55,793
in that clinical,
logical place.
702
00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:59,344
I present a risk.
My household presents a risk.
703
00:29:59,379 --> 00:30:02,000
You know, sometimes I just
don't quite understand
704
00:30:02,034 --> 00:30:05,344
everything going on
in this family.
705
00:30:05,379 --> 00:30:07,793
I don't know. I don't know
why she's just calling me
706
00:30:07,827 --> 00:30:11,827
and telling me, just like,
"Hey, this is the way
it's gonna be."
707
00:30:11,862 --> 00:30:15,172
No, I would worry too much
that there could be risk.
708
00:30:15,206 --> 00:30:17,413
I mean, you and I
will survive this.
709
00:30:17,448 --> 00:30:20,103
You're gonna owe me
big time, buddy man,
when we're done here.
710
00:30:20,137 --> 00:30:22,344
I wish you could have had
a camera on me.
711
00:30:22,379 --> 00:30:24,827
That's... That's a statement
of pressure.
712
00:30:24,862 --> 00:30:26,965
Like, "You gotta make up
for this somehow."
713
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,793
[stutters] What?
714
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:32,379
You're making these choices
and you're telling the kids
715
00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:34,413
to continue with what's normal
in their lives,
716
00:30:34,448 --> 00:30:36,172
and I'm supposed
to pay for that?
717
00:30:36,206 --> 00:30:38,413
I just have to get a dig in,
718
00:30:38,448 --> 00:30:41,517
saying, "Look, I am making
a big sacrifice here, man.
You owe me."
719
00:30:41,551 --> 00:30:44,310
I'm implying he owes me
some sort of tropical vacation
720
00:30:44,344 --> 00:30:47,965
or whatever,
'cause I feel like... Okay,
it's a little bit childish.
721
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,689
But it's like I'm making
such a big sacrifice,
which I'm choosing to do.
722
00:30:50,724 --> 00:30:52,620
But I still... I guess
I sort of... I'm like,
723
00:30:52,655 --> 00:30:54,517
"Give me some
acknowledgement here
724
00:30:54,551 --> 00:30:59,586
that I'm making
this really hard sacrifice
and that you understand it."
725
00:30:59,620 --> 00:31:03,034
[Kody]
I know that the real reason
isn't just Garrison's work.
726
00:31:03,068 --> 00:31:07,827
It's that him and Gabriel
both have a social life
that they're not... That...
727
00:31:07,862 --> 00:31:09,758
I don't even know
if that's the reason.
728
00:31:09,793 --> 00:31:12,620
What I do know is that
they're of the age group
729
00:31:12,655 --> 00:31:15,275
that tends to
not take this seriously,
730
00:31:15,310 --> 00:31:18,000
and they're the age group
that they're saying
isn't affected by it.
731
00:31:18,689 --> 00:31:20,310
[Kody sighs]
732
00:31:24,413 --> 00:31:26,379
No, because I know
everybody's gonna...
No, look.
733
00:31:26,413 --> 00:31:28,137
Robyn's gonna be like,
"No, you have to see the kids"
734
00:31:28,172 --> 00:31:30,206
'cause she's really adamant
about that.
735
00:31:30,241 --> 00:31:33,172
She is definitely resistant
to the opinions
of others right now.
736
00:31:33,206 --> 00:31:35,655
I don't feel like this is
a conversation
that we have with them.
737
00:31:35,689 --> 00:31:38,206
I mean, yes,
after we've decided.
738
00:31:38,241 --> 00:31:41,068
I don't know
if they necessarily
come into play here.
739
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,724
I feel like it would be better
if the whole family
was on the same page
740
00:31:47,758 --> 00:31:49,655
instead of just Janelle
making a decision
741
00:31:49,689 --> 00:31:51,172
and Christine making
a decision
742
00:31:51,206 --> 00:31:54,620
and Meri making a decision
and Robyn making a decision.
743
00:31:54,655 --> 00:31:57,896
I'm feeling kind of powerless
in this whole situation.
744
00:31:57,931 --> 00:31:59,724
And so this is one way
I can protect.
745
00:32:05,172 --> 00:32:08,241
You know, it's just one
of those times when maybe
746
00:32:08,275 --> 00:32:10,896
I wish I just told my wives
what we were gonna do.
747
00:32:11,896 --> 00:32:13,793
But I'm so confused
by this whole thing
748
00:32:13,827 --> 00:32:15,344
that I don't even know
what to do.
749
00:32:16,034 --> 00:32:17,758
I don't want 'em be swayed...
750
00:32:19,103 --> 00:32:21,000
...in their,
in their decisions
751
00:32:21,034 --> 00:32:23,241
because of my emotion.
752
00:32:29,551 --> 00:32:31,000
All right.
753
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:38,206
[Janelle] All right.
So, you guys, I've had
a conversation with Kody.
754
00:32:38,241 --> 00:32:42,413
Because I have Garrison
and everybody who are still
working outside the home,
755
00:32:42,448 --> 00:32:46,379
I think maybe I better, like,
756
00:32:46,413 --> 00:32:48,448
not have Kody even come.
757
00:32:48,482 --> 00:32:50,206
This is
where I feel like maybe
758
00:32:50,241 --> 00:32:52,689
what's best for the group
is more important.
759
00:32:52,724 --> 00:32:54,896
I don't know.
I guess not everybody
agrees with that.
760
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:56,551
So I guess this is
what we're choosing.
761
00:32:57,241 --> 00:32:58,586
It's freakin' heartbreaking.
762
00:33:07,034 --> 00:33:08,862
So, Janelle called me
earlier today
763
00:33:08,896 --> 00:33:10,862
basically saying,
"I don't want you to come over
764
00:33:10,896 --> 00:33:13,241
'cause the, you know,
you could get exposure.
765
00:33:13,275 --> 00:33:15,793
We've gotta be careful."
Okay, I get that.
766
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:18,000
I mean, like, if we're
going to make the steps,
767
00:33:18,034 --> 00:33:21,827
then we all sort of need
to invest in this
768
00:33:21,862 --> 00:33:23,931
so that we're justifying
769
00:33:23,965 --> 00:33:25,827
the sacrifice others
are making
770
00:33:25,862 --> 00:33:28,344
by making those sacrifices
all together
771
00:33:28,379 --> 00:33:31,172
in order to keep ourselves
all well and healthy.
772
00:33:31,206 --> 00:33:33,241
Right now
it's speaker phones, okay?
773
00:33:34,344 --> 00:33:35,448
Yeah. I'm recording.
774
00:33:35,482 --> 00:33:37,551
Okay, it's on speaker.
I'm good.
775
00:33:37,586 --> 00:33:41,241
So gotta figure out
how to accommodate the virus
776
00:33:41,275 --> 00:33:44,965
as well as our family
lifestyle and interaction.
777
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,275
I'm in this place
where I can't think about
how long this might be
778
00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:49,862
'cause it kinda makes me crazy
779
00:33:49,896 --> 00:33:52,482
'cause I'm a little...
I've got cabin fever.
780
00:33:52,517 --> 00:33:54,655
You could always go hiking.
781
00:33:55,862 --> 00:33:58,965
Nobody's...
There's no restrictions
on hiking.
782
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,482
As long as it's not snowing.
783
00:34:00,517 --> 00:34:04,172
-Well, and that, that exercise
and getting--
-I didn't hear any of you.
784
00:34:04,206 --> 00:34:07,551
This conference call
is very hard to actually
get an edge in.
785
00:34:07,586 --> 00:34:08,793
-It's easy.
-Okay.
786
00:34:08,827 --> 00:34:10,275
-About getting out--
-The forest service
is closed--
787
00:34:11,896 --> 00:34:14,344
-Ladies, let's establish--
-The forest service
is closed down at the--
788
00:34:14,379 --> 00:34:15,689
I'm halfway
through a sentence.
789
00:34:15,724 --> 00:34:17,931
I don't even finish it,
and I'm getting cut off.
790
00:34:17,965 --> 00:34:20,724
We're gonna establish
some rules right now
791
00:34:20,758 --> 00:34:24,172
because this conference call
will just drive us all nuts.
792
00:34:24,206 --> 00:34:27,379
We're gonna start
with one person,
793
00:34:27,413 --> 00:34:30,310
and they're gonna
set up their thoughts,
794
00:34:30,344 --> 00:34:33,586
and then they're going to
pass the baton
795
00:34:33,620 --> 00:34:35,586
to the next person, okay?
796
00:34:35,620 --> 00:34:38,000
Finish a damn sentence
before you...
797
00:34:38,034 --> 00:34:39,965
You know, just let somebody
finish the sentence.
798
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,034
Says the guy who interrupts us
most of the time.
799
00:34:43,068 --> 00:34:45,379
So, everybody
will stop talking now.
800
00:34:45,413 --> 00:34:48,137
And I'm going to tell Janelle
801
00:34:48,172 --> 00:34:52,413
to give us her thoughts
from our discussion today.
802
00:34:52,448 --> 00:34:54,931
[Janelle] All right.
So, you guys, I've had
a conversation with Kody.
803
00:34:54,965 --> 00:34:59,137
Because I have Garrison
and everybody who are still
working outside the home,
804
00:34:59,172 --> 00:35:02,448
and you guys have pretty much
naturally self-quarantined
805
00:35:02,482 --> 00:35:03,689
'cause your kids are all home.
806
00:35:03,724 --> 00:35:05,275
They're not in school.
They're not working.
807
00:35:05,310 --> 00:35:08,862
But I pose a risk point
for exposure.
808
00:35:08,896 --> 00:35:12,172
I think maybe I better,
809
00:35:12,206 --> 00:35:14,655
like, not have Kody even come
810
00:35:14,689 --> 00:35:18,551
because if for some reason
we ended up infected,
811
00:35:18,586 --> 00:35:20,689
he would then bring it
to all of you guys.
812
00:35:20,724 --> 00:35:23,482
I was talking to Kody about
it, like, a couple days ago.
813
00:35:23,517 --> 00:35:25,655
and I was just saying,
"Hey, how would you feel
814
00:35:25,689 --> 00:35:27,793
about going to, like,
one house
815
00:35:27,827 --> 00:35:30,517
and staying put there
for a few days?
816
00:35:30,551 --> 00:35:32,413
And then when you're done,
you know, as long as
817
00:35:32,448 --> 00:35:34,275
everyone's well
and everything,
818
00:35:34,310 --> 00:35:37,137
then move on to the next house for a couple of days.
819
00:35:37,172 --> 00:35:38,793
But when you get
to the next house,
820
00:35:38,827 --> 00:35:41,310
just make sure
you shower really well
821
00:35:41,344 --> 00:35:43,586
and, you know,
wash the clothes.
822
00:35:43,620 --> 00:35:45,103
Like, take the clothes off
immediately,
823
00:35:45,137 --> 00:35:47,137
put them
in the washer immediately.
824
00:35:47,172 --> 00:35:50,620
So, my schedule is always
a sensitive subject.
825
00:35:50,655 --> 00:35:52,344
All my wives
have a different opinion
826
00:35:52,379 --> 00:35:54,034
of what my schedule
should be.
827
00:35:54,068 --> 00:35:57,758
But the issue is
is it's a sensitive
subject to me,
828
00:35:57,793 --> 00:35:59,241
and I don't like them
telling me
829
00:35:59,275 --> 00:36:00,862
what my schedule is.
830
00:36:00,896 --> 00:36:03,000
-You have to pass
the baton now.
-Janelle, how about--
831
00:36:03,034 --> 00:36:06,620
No, no. Just wait.
Just... If you're done,
pass the baton.
832
00:36:06,655 --> 00:36:08,103
I'm done. I'd like to know...
833
00:36:08,137 --> 00:36:10,275
Janelle, I'd like to know
your thoughts, and then Kody
and then Robyn.
834
00:36:10,310 --> 00:36:12,586
Can we do it like that?
And then go on to Meri?
835
00:36:12,620 --> 00:36:14,275
Can we do it in that order?
836
00:36:14,310 --> 00:36:16,896
-'Cause I wanna know
how everybody feels.
-No, you gotta pass the baton
837
00:36:16,931 --> 00:36:18,586
-to one person.
-Fine, I'll pass it
to Janelle.
838
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:20,896
Gosh, you're so cranky.
839
00:36:20,931 --> 00:36:22,793
It's 'cause you guys
are talking about my body.
840
00:36:22,827 --> 00:36:25,413
I feel like I'm being
passed around
like a rag doll now.
841
00:36:25,448 --> 00:36:27,241
Kody, all I did
was offer up a suggestion
842
00:36:27,275 --> 00:36:29,206
-when I was talking
about a couple of days.
-That's okay.
843
00:36:29,241 --> 00:36:32,517
It doesn't mean that think
you're a rag doll or a baton
for goodness' sake.
844
00:36:32,551 --> 00:36:33,862
Who's speaking now?
845
00:36:34,206 --> 00:36:35,103
God.
846
00:36:35,137 --> 00:36:36,551
Holy... I'm just trying to...
847
00:36:39,034 --> 00:36:40,758
It's like he's acting like
we've objectified him.
848
00:36:40,793 --> 00:36:43,310
No, we are a family,
and we're trying
to work this out.
849
00:36:43,344 --> 00:36:45,827
He knew whatever the hell
he wants to do his own body.
850
00:36:45,862 --> 00:36:47,344
This is not
what this is about.
851
00:36:47,379 --> 00:36:50,241
I'm just trying to make...
Whatever. God.
852
00:36:50,275 --> 00:36:52,310
I actually...
Look, I thought about that.
853
00:36:52,344 --> 00:36:55,172
But honestly, what happens
is you don't know
if you've gotten it
854
00:36:55,206 --> 00:36:58,344
into your respiratory system
until two weeks.
855
00:36:58,379 --> 00:36:59,793
And that's why
Mariah and Audrey
856
00:36:59,827 --> 00:37:01,689
are quarantining
the way that they are.
857
00:37:01,724 --> 00:37:04,448
That's why it's so important
that we do stay,
858
00:37:04,482 --> 00:37:08,620
you know, away from anybody
and everybody.
859
00:37:08,655 --> 00:37:12,068
And it kinda sucks
that at this point,
860
00:37:12,103 --> 00:37:14,482
maybe it includes family, too.
861
00:37:15,689 --> 00:37:16,793
[exhales]
862
00:37:19,793 --> 00:37:22,896
It's just such
a kind of crazy shock
863
00:37:22,931 --> 00:37:25,482
to think of Kody
not going to Janelle's house.
864
00:37:25,517 --> 00:37:28,862
You know, it's like,
"No, this is not what you do,
you know."
865
00:37:28,896 --> 00:37:32,000
It's, like, your family.
We're a family.
866
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:35,103
It's, it's really tough
867
00:37:35,137 --> 00:37:39,275
to even consider
that part of this whole thing
868
00:37:39,310 --> 00:37:41,379
with this stupid disease
869
00:37:41,413 --> 00:37:44,724
is the idea
that we can't be a family.
870
00:37:44,758 --> 00:37:49,137
If we lived in one house
during all of this,
I think it would be easier.
871
00:37:50,448 --> 00:37:52,413
We'd have to come
to an agreement,
872
00:37:52,448 --> 00:37:55,103
and we would have
to work it out together
873
00:37:55,137 --> 00:37:56,758
because we were living
in the same home.
874
00:37:56,793 --> 00:37:58,068
We'd have to.
875
00:38:00,482 --> 00:38:02,965
Sorry, Janelle,
I get what you're saying,
but...
876
00:38:04,551 --> 00:38:08,172
Are you... I'm just worried
about your kids and you
and Kody and everything.
877
00:38:08,206 --> 00:38:09,344
I'm just worried
about you guys.
878
00:38:09,379 --> 00:38:10,689
I don't know
how this will work.
879
00:38:10,724 --> 00:38:14,586
It's completely challenging
our priorities
880
00:38:14,620 --> 00:38:16,137
and what's important to us.
881
00:38:16,172 --> 00:38:19,655
Like, how do we deal with this
the right way?
882
00:38:19,689 --> 00:38:22,413
For now, to me
my gut feels like...
883
00:38:23,724 --> 00:38:25,862
...to err on the side
of extreme caution
884
00:38:25,896 --> 00:38:27,206
makes the most sense.
885
00:38:27,241 --> 00:38:30,517
Like, it just seems like
it would be
the most logical thing.
886
00:38:30,551 --> 00:38:32,689
It's the least amount
of sacrifice.
887
00:38:32,724 --> 00:38:34,551
Okay,
so if I'm gonna sacrifice
888
00:38:34,586 --> 00:38:37,068
being able to see, um,
the kids,
889
00:38:37,103 --> 00:38:41,448
then everybody
has to double down
on this sacrifice
890
00:38:42,689 --> 00:38:44,689
in such a way
that it's like
891
00:38:44,724 --> 00:38:48,275
you don't go to town
and your kids
don't go to town.
892
00:38:48,310 --> 00:38:52,172
I love that idea,
but, psychologically,
I have to get out.
893
00:38:52,206 --> 00:38:54,965
I will be bonkers
if I don't have my...
894
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,517
I go to the grocery store
and they sanitize the carts
when you walk in.
895
00:38:59,551 --> 00:39:03,137
And I mean,
that's my only out,
really, right now.
896
00:39:03,172 --> 00:39:06,655
Because each wife sort of
runs her household
897
00:39:06,689 --> 00:39:08,896
and we're not agreeing
898
00:39:08,931 --> 00:39:11,965
on how we're going to run
each household the same,
899
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,034
we're literally getting
to a place where it feels
like we're every,
900
00:39:15,068 --> 00:39:19,034
every house for themselves,
every mother for themselves.
901
00:39:19,068 --> 00:39:22,689
[Janelle] Honestly, I'm not
out here to control what
everybody else is gonna do.
902
00:39:22,724 --> 00:39:25,310
And I don't think Kody
should put some
sort of moratorium, either.
903
00:39:25,344 --> 00:39:26,931
I think everybody has to make
their own decision.
904
00:39:26,965 --> 00:39:29,896
[Kody] Janelle's not gonna
sacrifice anything
but time with me.
905
00:39:29,931 --> 00:39:34,379
But she's not gonna
sacrifice her kids
for that time with me.
906
00:39:34,413 --> 00:39:35,827
And it's just one of those
weird things.
907
00:39:35,862 --> 00:39:38,896
It's like, if we don't
get on the same page,
908
00:39:38,931 --> 00:39:40,586
it's like, put it off
on the next person.
909
00:39:40,620 --> 00:39:42,689
Well, I feel like
it's being put off onto me.
910
00:39:42,724 --> 00:39:45,724
I'm the only one that ends up
having any exposure
911
00:39:45,758 --> 00:39:47,931
to any of the rest
of the family.
912
00:39:47,965 --> 00:39:52,275
So each family's basically
quarantined to home
913
00:39:52,310 --> 00:39:55,758
so to speak with the exception
of getting the groceries,
914
00:39:55,793 --> 00:39:58,275
getting gas,
getting the essentials.
915
00:39:59,103 --> 00:40:00,206
Um...
916
00:40:02,620 --> 00:40:06,620
So... And then
social distancing
in that place.
917
00:40:06,655 --> 00:40:09,620
You guys can do what you want
and do what you feel,
918
00:40:09,655 --> 00:40:14,413
but I don't feel like
you're infringing
on my decision
919
00:40:14,448 --> 00:40:17,620
or penalizing me for this
by being, doing those...
920
00:40:17,655 --> 00:40:19,482
Like, going to town
for your groceries and stuff.
921
00:40:19,517 --> 00:40:22,896
There's this sort of thing
that happens
in our relationships
922
00:40:22,931 --> 00:40:25,068
that I guess is only fair
in plural marriage
923
00:40:25,103 --> 00:40:27,068
is that the mom...
924
00:40:28,068 --> 00:40:29,482
The household belongs to her.
925
00:40:30,689 --> 00:40:32,275
It just feels odd to me.
926
00:40:32,310 --> 00:40:33,758
"Okay, this what
you're gonna do."
927
00:40:34,620 --> 00:40:35,482
Well, wait a second.
928
00:40:36,379 --> 00:40:38,310
Do I have a say in this?
929
00:40:38,344 --> 00:40:44,137
It's hard for me to see
that this is anything
but overreacting.
930
00:40:44,172 --> 00:40:47,827
However,
on the backside of this...
931
00:40:49,172 --> 00:40:52,034
...if we found out
it was the right thing...
932
00:40:52,068 --> 00:40:54,827
You never know
what the right thing is
until you've done it...
933
00:40:57,379 --> 00:41:00,344
...and got the validation
from the choice.
934
00:41:00,379 --> 00:41:02,655
A lot has happened
this last week.
935
00:41:02,689 --> 00:41:05,379
There's so much moreinformation just being poured out.
936
00:41:05,413 --> 00:41:06,862
Every single day is different.
937
00:41:06,896 --> 00:41:09,862
It's not like anything
is staying the same.
938
00:41:09,896 --> 00:41:12,482
Every single day,
there's new cases.
939
00:41:12,517 --> 00:41:16,172
Every single day,
there's new information,
all conflicting, by the way.
940
00:41:16,206 --> 00:41:18,137
All right, guys,
I really gotta get going.
941
00:41:18,172 --> 00:41:21,103
So, I...
Just know I'm really good
with this decision.
942
00:41:21,137 --> 00:41:24,344
It makes a lot of sense to me.
Kody, you used to always say,
943
00:41:24,379 --> 00:41:26,413
"Choose the choice that allows
you to choose again."
944
00:41:26,448 --> 00:41:28,034
I feel like that applies here.
945
00:41:28,068 --> 00:41:29,344
This isn't a made decision.
946
00:41:29,379 --> 00:41:30,931
I've gotta think
about this a bit.
947
00:41:32,103 --> 00:41:35,896
This is where I feel like
maybe,
948
00:41:35,931 --> 00:41:38,517
what's best for the group
is more important.
949
00:41:38,551 --> 00:41:40,655
I don't know.
I guess not everybody
agrees with that.
950
00:41:40,689 --> 00:41:43,103
So I guess this is
what we're choosing.
951
00:41:43,137 --> 00:41:46,172
It's freakin' heartbreaking
that this is where we're at,
952
00:41:46,206 --> 00:41:47,344
that this is
what we've decided
953
00:41:47,379 --> 00:41:48,689
and this is how
we're gonna do this.
954
00:41:49,862 --> 00:41:51,758
It's sad to me.
955
00:41:52,827 --> 00:41:54,862
[Kody] Next time on
Sister Wives...
956
00:41:54,896 --> 00:41:58,689
We have a pandemic
breakout of Covid-19
in the United States.
957
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:01,758
[Janelle] There's a new
stay-at-home order
958
00:42:01,793 --> 00:42:04,000
from the governor
for the whole
state of Arizona.
959
00:42:04,034 --> 00:42:06,862
[Christine] A lot has happened
in the last couple of weeks.
960
00:42:06,896 --> 00:42:09,379
We're going back to normal
for a very long time.
961
00:42:09,413 --> 00:42:13,517
[Christine]
The cases have grown,
the fear has grown.
962
00:42:13,551 --> 00:42:18,379
It just seems like this
is, like, some sort of a thing
that's hunting us almost.
963
00:42:18,413 --> 00:42:21,068
We are changing
our entire society for this.
964
00:42:21,103 --> 00:42:23,931
We are changing
our family for this.
965
00:42:23,965 --> 00:42:27,413
Today I had contact
with people
966
00:42:27,448 --> 00:42:29,586
who had been
in the same county
967
00:42:29,620 --> 00:42:32,862
where the new case
has been diagnosed.
968
00:42:32,896 --> 00:42:36,724
If we're not gonna see Dad,
why would I social distance?
I mean, I'm not at risk.
