Thank you for saying The Scottish Play! Love it… folklore says that many many have fallen prey to the curse of the Scottish Play. Chris Rock later suffered the curse after he congratulated Denzel for The Tragedy of Macbeth and said the name aloud in the Dolby Theater. We all know what happened with Will Smith.

I’ve never seen an episode of WtP but I’ve listened to EVERY episode you have done and several times that has led me to google certain storylines. I’m so glad it’s back!!

Kathleen Krotke

I last read that Scottish Play in high school and am still very uncomfortable calling it by it’s real name.

Val McCue

Unpopular opinion: 4 seasons of Olivia’s ‘woe is me’ was kind of tiring, and I’m glad the production sorta turned her into Kim Plath on this episode 😬

MicaS

Omg, Mattie’s Macbeth song was unbelievable!! My audition for Drama 3 in 12th grade was the “Double, Double toil and trouble” monologue. Still know it by heart more than 40 years later.

Never watched this before, now I hear I should start fr the beginning?! Nooooo….

Mariah is channeling dirty Christian Aguilera

In my family, some choose water over blood even though the water damaged the blood or the blood stabs each other in the back 😅

Moriah is the most in this episode. I still have some love for the little rebel, but I think she forgets her contribution to making Kim look bad. No matter what Olivia says about Kim, I saw her and Barry as awful parents when they kicked Moriah out the house at 16, that’s what made me feel like they are crap parents and people. Plus, when those kids were like “we don’t know sh*t because you barely taught us” and how a lack of education handicapped both Ethan and Moriah, I was just done with their parents. So it’s just funny how she’s super defensive of her mom now (which I get because that is her mom - even abused kids can have a soft spot for their mom), but she helped paint the picture of Kim being a crappy mom. Also - Great insight on how Moriah and Micah are paying for those apartments, because I was like “how the F are they paying for this?!?!” but what y’all said makes so much sense!!!

I have MS ! Lmk re your treatment…

I'm team Olivia on this one, Micha and Moriah were kids when the credit card scandal went down. How much do they really know? They need to STFU and stay out of it.

Caroline Dickie

Same! How on earth would they know more than Olivia about the credit card use? It makes me worried about what else Mama Plath has done with her kids’ identities. Olivia definitely has issues but she strikes me as a very young person trying to be wise beyond her years. She definitely did not need to get married so young to someone in a family like this.

Rose j Thompson

Daddy Plath ain’t talking about his muscles

Cara Corona

I would be so embarrassed to use my kids credit card on the regular to buy frivolous items for myself. Then to not pay back and manipulate him through a pay check…eeeewwwwww

CC

This season is gonna get messy

Alison Gerrior

Rumor has it ( and per other podcasts like Pink Shade and Blighty Day), the credit card use was connected to Mama Plath’s involvement in an mlm and there is speculation that Ethan may have been in her down line.

Jenn

While I’m becoming less of a fan of Olivia, I’m on her side with the credit card storyline. I could easily see Ethan being naive to this credit card and it’s use, but Olivia being smart enough to see what happening and stop her husband from being taken advantage of. I go back to when we first met the family - the kids did all of the work and cooking in the house. These kids did what they were told. I can 100% see Kim convincing Ethan, because he’s easily swayed, that she has rights to his credit card.

Deja Bleu

Fascinated by shows with family Dynamics and religion all of it the trauma and the drama this is a show that has both it's so interesting to watch these kids grow and explore

Jennifer Riester

I couldn't believe how much I was rethinking who I believed in this. Thanks to you queens and the comments here I've firmly re-grounded myself. My very evangelical cousin and his wife just moved to the Plath area. Their daughter got a job at a Christian movie studio based down there. I'm tempted to go visit and look for Plaths but that would involve putting up with my cousin and his wife so it's probably a no for me. Side note - was trying to eat lunch during the old bbq rim convo took place 🤢

Ali D

I totally thought that when Micha said “MLM” - I was like “I bet Kim used it to buy products for whatever quota she needed to reach and Ethan is under her in the pyramid”. I hope we get the to hear more about the MLM. I wanna know what company???

Ashlee crump

I grew up in a very similar toxic family dynamic as the Plath’s so my opinion may be biased but I’m going to give it anyway! 😂 While I do love Moriah and Micah, I question whether their account of the credit card situation is even reliable. If this happened when Ethan was 20 that means they were still living in the household so they would have only been exposed to Mama Plaths’s version of events and may not even know the whole truth of what was going on. I think Olivia has exposed a narcissist and when that happens the person who does the exposing is usually made out to be the enemy or “crazy person” by the narcissist. Also it seems to me that Moriah and Micah created some space for themselves from their parents only to get pulled back in. I’ve been through that cycle in my situation so many times until I was able to recognize the cycle of abuse and control that was taking place. I hope that they can get some perspective of their own at some point….So yeah this show can be slightly triggering for me but also eye opening! So glad y’all are continuing to cover it!!!

We had a kuvasz that was my sister’s protector. She busted open the dog gate to kill a snake that was near my sister. She was my dad’s favorite dog and he was heart broken when she died. I think I was two. I had a Great Pyrenees that was my big dog protector.

Hannah Goralewicz

We also had boxers, but bless their hearts. My babies have not been the smartest in the bunch. My pup Macy runs into walls. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Carey Addis

I had a family member deep into an MLM and meeting her monthly quotas was very serious. You get demoted. You miss out on perks. So basically, the months she wasn’t going to make her quota, she’d Venmo me money and have me buy something. I think that’s what Mama Plath was doing. She bought things on Ethan’s card to pump up her sales. I think she probably told Ethan she was going to do this and he didn’t really think about it because he was 18 and brainwashed. After getting married Olivia put her foot down about her husband having a card that his mom controlled. It seems like the family is saying that the issue isn’t a big deal because Ethan knew about it and he got all his money back. But to Olivia an issue like this would be huge because it’s another example of the Plath parents invasiveness and control. When you grow up like that and you’re trying to break away, setting boundaries can feel like life and death. I understand Olivia’s reaction. I also am 100% sure that mama and papa Plath scoffed at her and mocked her and acted like she was just being silly over a little credit card. Making you feel like your feelings are crazy is their specialty.

Carey Addis

Same! I grew up in a cult. I think I will always agree with Olivia because she’s the one that got out. If Micah and Moriah are siding with parents that haven’t changed then it’s not possible that they have any perspective. Victims return to what is comfortable. I think that’s what we’re seeing here with M&M and it’s hard to watch.

Katerina Hull-Fossas

The podcast sister wives: love should be multiplied not divided covers plathville on their Patreon hilariously

Carey Addis

She’s so pissed about a social media post that wasn’t even mean, yet she has bashed her mom so many times on television. What is the difference?!

Carey Addis

It can be annoying. But if I were the only person with any emotional intelligence trying to reason with that family just for my dumb husband’s sake, I would whine constantly.

Em

Not Poodle trying to villainize labs 😂 they’re the sweetest dogs ever!! We had a big doofy yellow lab with 3 small children and he did knock us over but only while playing and he was also super gentle with us! And it was usually only if my older brother told him to knock me over 🫣 lol

Em

Olivia is definitely a bit self serving in her attempts at “justice” (read: revenge) but Moriah and Micah sliding back in to their parents brainwashing was so sickening to see. I agree with the boys though that Ethan isn’t trustworthy. He triggers me because my oldest brother is the same way but his pathological avoidance of emotions is too much

Kristi Burks

Shit Talk recaps Pathville on their Patreon. Y’all would absolutely love this husband and wife duo. The husband speculates on 🍆 sizes of all the men on the shows they recap.

Marcy Rodenborn

Jesus when Barry said “it’s called brainwashing” i screamed POT, KETTLE, BLACK

Marcy Rodenborn

God it’s sad to watch Micah and Moriah turn on Olivia. Remember how their parents wouldn’t let them see their younger siblings? They are embarrassed for their family and turning Olivia into a straw man. Olivia could walk away from that whole mess but she’s got Ethan.

LEIGHANN FARRAR

Is there a way to search for old eps other than scrolling? I’ve started platgville from last season and would love our queens’ take!

Amy Diehl

Last season Ethan was like "I don't care where Olivia goes" now they go on vacation in Europe and he's back to standing up for her. Wait til real life comes back around! 😩😩
