Mel & Jill Geek Out

Sister Wives, Season 18, Episode 6: A Broken Record

13 - Sister Wives - S18, E5 - A Broken Record
 
Christine admits she’s working with a matchmaker while she hosts a wine and paint night for her daughters in Salt Lake City. Meri meets up with her friend Jen (who’s hilarious by the way), and they talk about the B&B and her plans for it and moving her other business up there. We get the first conversation between Janelle and Kody since their big fight just before Christmas, and it’s a doozy.

Sister Wives Season 18, Episode 5: Mel & Jill Just Rant

11 - Sister Wives - S18, E5 - Mel & Jill Just Rant
 
After the holidays, we learn that Kody has continued to be a jerk to Savanah for no reason whatsoever, and Robyn continues to try to be a busybody in a relationship that has already ended. Janelle is definitely struggling, and Meri plans to spend more time in southern Utah. Frankly, Mel and Jill are just sick of the shit and rant for 51 minutes.

Drive to Survive , Season 3: Lights Out, and Away We Go!

10 - Drive to Survive, Season 3
In this episode Jill introduces Mel to the world of F1 through the popular Netflix show Formula 1: Drive to Survive aka DTS! But before they dive into this new topic, they discuss Goodreads, tracking reading data, and their love of spreadsheets. Doesn’t everyone have their entire reading history?  
Light’s Out, and Away we Go! Jill and Mel explain the reason behind starting with Season 3, their racing background/knowledge, and how Drive To Survive introduced them into the world of Formula 1 racing. They speed head-first into the drama between race teams, team principals, and drivers of one of the world’s most exciting motorsports.  
Season 3 of DTS covers the 2020 F1 season. Jill explains some F1 basics and rules and some things to remember about how DTS is edited and how the episodes are presented. Jill and Mel plan to keep this surface-level discussion of F1 because they are both relatively new F1 fans and there are so many things to consider, engineering, tire strategy, etc. that are extremely complicated. 
Mel and Jill go through each episode,  discussing the highs and lows. Their favorite drivers are team principles. Who’s the villain? Who’s the hero? Who wins the World Championship and the Constructor’s Cup?

Sister Wives - Season 18, Episode 4: Ghost of Christmas Past

9 - Sister Wives - S18, E4 - Ghost of Christmas Past
The fallout of Kody and Janelle’s big fight has begun as the family celebrates Christmas 2021 separately. The besties continue to have some lukewarm takes on how Kody treats all of his wives and children while trying to have a shred of empathy for a man who’s clearly been caught off his guard by this little thing we like to call reality. Also, Jill gets really made that she and Kody both love the Charles Dicken’s Christmas Carol houses.
