Hello, and welcome to What, What Crappens, a podcast about all the things we love to talk about on your braves.
I'm Ronnie. That's Ben. Hello, Ben.
Hi, Ronnie. How's it going?
Everybody, welcome. Very special day to day.
It's the first episode of Bravo's Wife Swap, the Real Housewives Edition.
Don't, don't, don.
You want to watch this on video? Do it at Patreon.
Okay? That's where you get all our videos.
Creppin's on demand. Also, we do bonus episodes over there. This week, we just had a little talky bonus caught up with each other's real lives and stuff. We do trailer trashes. We have one for Southern Charm, where we trash a trailer. That's fine. Go over there for all that good stuff. And thanks to everybody who's there. But today is Wife Swab. How did you feel, Ben?
I liked it a lot.
I was really not looking forward to it.
I have to say I didn't like when I saw the announcement about the show months ago.
And when the trailer came around, I also was not enthused.
And I was like, oh, my God, this is just some scripted bullshit that we're going to have to sit through.
And I really was not looking forward to it.
And then I watched the episode.
I was like, I love it.
It's so good.
I really enjoyed it.
It was really fun.
What did you think?
Yeah, I thought it was really fun too.
My niece is in town.
So she was watching it with me.
I mean, even she was cracking up.
And after, she said, uncle, do you have any more screeners to watch?
I was like, wow, that has never happened when a kid is like, can I get more of this?
You know, she watched both Salt Lake City and this together with me.
And she's like, do we get more?
Yeah.
Reaching Gen Z.
So impressive.
Look at that, wife swap.
Now, I really enjoyed this episode.
I think a lot of it had to do with Angie.
I think Angie's a really enduring lead.
for this sort of show because as much as Angie pops off and can once she gets activated,
she just sort of doesn't shut up.
She also like is able to display an immense amount of warmth both on Salt Lake City and on this
show.
And I think that like the warmth that she shows is really, um, it's really lovely.
And so there was a huge amount of sweetness in this episode.
And the question is, will that sweetness still be there with the likes of Melissa Gorga and
Emily Simpson and Wendy Ocepho?
I am not sure.
So I think this is a really strong one to begin with.
I think you're right.
I think those are tall orders for warmth.
All of those are tall.
I think Melissa will probably come off the best compared to the others.
I think that there I think we might be in trouble with Emily Simpson.
I think the other families may be in trouble with Wendy Ocepho and Emily Simpson.
Yeah.
Yakes.
Yeah.
I think Melissa is actually going to do well.
I think Melissa will have a very nice episode.
But yeah, the Emily Simpson,
I still don't even know why they chose Emily Simpson for this show.
Or anything.
It must be just because Shane is just so generally unpleasant
that like sticking some lady with Shane will be kind of funny to watch.
Right.
I think she probably has like a husband casting thing going on just like Melissa
Gorga does.
Because even when they show in the previews the Melissa Gorga thing,
they're really showing Joe Gorgia.
with the wife, you know.
Yeah.
That's what we see in the previews.
So, yeah.
So we'll see, but we start in a salt, glamorous city,
Salt Lake City, Utah at Angie's,
which they make seem like this big bustling city.
Which Salt Lake City is not some, you know,
little shit hole.
It's a nice city, but it's just funny out of the big city,
Salt Lake City.
I know.
So, Electra is watching Angie and she's like,
what are you doing?
She's like, cleaning.
And Sean's like, she's re-cleaning what I've already cleaned.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yeah, mom, everything was already clean.
It's already clean, mom.
She's like, is it, though, am I, am I OCD or am I just a person that has a gift of making things perfect?
Well, it's a gift most of the time, except for those times when you just want to go to sleep and she's vacuuming your forehead.
That I don't like so much.
So do you think Angie doesn't have cleaning people or do you think she's,
one of those people who has cleaning people and cleans before they come and cleans after they come as
well because they didn't do things right she probably does that yeah i feel like angie definitely
cleans like i don't think this this was a um a thing a bit that she was doing for this show i i
definitely get the sense that angie is down there steaming clothes every single day i think she like
loves it yeah it's her thing so we meet the family and she tells us it takes a lot for me to keep
the house running the way it does i love to cook i love to keep my home perfect
I'm hustling from sun up to some down.
Being the bossy Greek wife that I am,
Sean sometimes do things,
doesn't do things the way I like.
So I just get in there and I do it myself.
Let's see an example of that.
Sean, can you try to make your breakfast better?
Here's how I like to do it, buddy.
She's like, it's in there like she's the mom.
It's like, here, let me show you a tip.
Yeah, she really does do that.
Every day.
You know it because he's just trying to get an egg out of the pan.
And you know, he's like chasing it around with a spatula.
I said, here, let me show you, lift up the pan and tilt it, and now the egg comes out.
He's like, oh, wow, I didn't even think about that.
That's okay.
I show you every single morning, every morning.
I just wish I could get a nonstick pan that actually worked like that.
I was most impressed in this whole episode by that nonstick pan because I've never had a pan that works like that, ever.
I've had a lot of pans that say they work like that, but none of them actually do.
That egg just came sliding right the hell out of it.
Sliding.
Slighting.
I have a ceramic pan.
I finally decided to, you know, I'm trying to move a,
from the teflon and so i i've played around with some ceramic and i have to in you know those ceramic pans
those things go flopping all over the place they are very non-sticky but the problem is that like the
non-stick goes away much faster than on a teflon but someone told me that you just have to start thinking
of non-stick pans kind of like as a consumable don't spend a lot of money on them get something that's
cheap that you'll replace every like nine months and you just have to accept that that you use it until
It's used up and he spent another $20 if you get another pan.
And that's been very helpful for me.
So I'd say get a cheap ceramic pan.
There you go.
It was way more information than you did.
Yeah.
That's a good theory.
You know, I actually do have a very good nonstick.
It's just not as sliding in this one, you know?
I mean, this one was just impressive.
This was like a gold medal winner of pans.
So, Sean's like, yeah, you know, like sometimes she starts to give a little direction.
And yeah, I guess you can feel like a little micromanagement.
Oh, Sean, why has this show trying to convince me that Sean is one of the, like, sloppy dumb husbands?
I'm never going to believe that.
No one with muscles like that.
And I saw him at BravoCon a couple of years ago.
I mean, when I tell you, this guy is smooth as hell.
I mean, literally waxed from head to toe, perfectly quaffed.
He had like a big Louis Vuitton bag that he was carrying around, really tight, perfectly fit, tailored clothes.
I mean, smells good, perfect muscles.
I mean, this guy's anal as hell, too.
Yeah. So but we see Angie micromanaging Elektra. She's like, go put on sunscreen. No boys in the chat. Go pet your horse. All right. Now clean up your bed. All right. Rinse it off. Okay. I see the green goop. Look out for that. She says every little thing she's on Electra for. Let's like, oh, mother. So Sean's like some people run on the treadmill. Some people run their mouth.
Well, I haven't had a facelift.
It's because I have to talk all day, and that's why my face is tight.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
So then we see her looking at some sunglasses.
And she's like, I've always loved fashion.
It makes me feel expensive.
And Electra's like, yeah, one time I saw a bell for a $12,000 dress.
She goes, yeah, that was a shipwerelli.
Is that how you say that?
I think so.
I thought it was kind of stupid.
It was stupid mother, stupid shipper rally.
More like shitterrelly.
Mother.
Okay, Elektra, you're about to get spanked with a swive fly swatter on your face.
You're lucky my, you're not my daughter.
I wouldn't spoon you.
Wouldn't spoon you on the tizzy, young lady.
Better watch your smart mouth.
I feel like I'd be closer with my mom if she would just like ton it down a little bit.
Oh, you mean cleaning your room every five seconds?
If you just stopped cleaning your room, yeah, I'm sure you'll be a lot closer to your mom.
Just have to step over the piles of dirt you're leaving by.
behind Electra.
Yeah.
She pushes boundaries with me a little bit.
She's like, yeah, she needs to tone it down.
Well, Electra tells me to chill, but she's like, Mom, chill.
But if I chill the F out, our lives would probably fall apart.
I don't feel like Angie has any chill.
The struggle for her is just being able to just kind of sit together and hang out as a family.
For me, that's precious time.
So, like, let's get back to that.
So then Electra asks Angie to get some boba.
And she's like, I can't have.
Boba. I must do laundry. I must steam things. No time for Boba. All work, no play. Makes Angie
is someone who wants Boba very badly. He's like, God, I guess we'll wait for you to get Boba.
It's like I'm doing wife swap because I don't feel like Sean and Electra appreciate me. I want
them begging me back. I just want them begging me like groveling. I want the mother that moves in
here to choke on Boba. I want her to choke on it.
Speaking of which, now let's go over to Chalice, Idaho, where we see this dad, and he's telling his kids to rake something so that they can plant some onions and there's dogs.
And it's basically like this homestead with three sort of, they're not, they're not shabby buildings.
They're just very much like homemade buildings.
I thought it actually looked kind of nice.
I was like, wow, this is actually kind of nice house for something you probably bought
on Amazon and put together yourself, you know?
Like, I think it looks nice.
I love the green, love the siding.
So we meet Lindsay, who's the mom of this family.
Now, Lindsay has like a weird ponytail on the top of her head type thing.
Top knot.
And she talks like Bronwyn from Salt Lake City.
Did you notice she has the same exact voice as Bronwyn from Salt Lake City?
It was weird to me, like kind of a condescending voice.
Yeah, and there was certain like kind of manner.
that reminded me of Whitney too, but like that I could not stop with that like looking at that
top knot for some reason it was driving me nuts. I know when we did our trailer trash of this
this show, I said it reminded me of the dog on Animal Crossing. There's like the dog
receptionist that gives you an announcement every time you turn on the game. There's like a little dog
with a top knot and all I see is that dog and so I just can't stop looking at the top knot. I was like
please get rid of the top knot. Yeah. So she's like, wow, living off the grid, that's an ancestral way of
life. And this was important to me. I'm Lindsay and I love ancestral things. This is Tanner. He looks
like MJ's husband, Tommy. They're getting a divorce, just really sad. But here he is. His onion planting
glory. I love when people say, I'm just, this is more of an ancestral way of life. I'm like,
if your ancestors were alive, you know what they'd be saying? You have electricity and you're not
using it. I've been out there plowing this thing with a horse for five years. It's like, I haven't
I take a bath and I come out, I got leeches on me.
You're telling me there's a way you can take a bath and that leeches and you're not doing it.
You're purposely not doing it.
You know what other people did in ancestral times, not go to the dentist.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Why?
Yeah, exactly.
You know, sometimes like, let's stop kicking, you know, progress in the ass.
And sometimes let's just say, thank you, progress.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you, fruit roll up.
Thank you.
So, thank you.
So Tanner is the dad.
So Lindsay and Tanner.
And Tanner is like, my name's Tanner.
And this is Bridger, which is funny because there's no Bridger around here.
But his name is Bridger.
And we also have Wyatt.
And then we have Hazel.
They're just going for every cowboy name they can think of.
There are those people who are like, it's like super trendy for them to be off the grid.
And they're like, all we eat is like animal liver.
You know, like the Brianna Culberson type of people, like the Brianna Ryan type.
where it's like, wow, every illness comes from not eating raw livers.
So that's what we're doing.
We're hunting our breakfast, you know, which, you know, everyone, my, I guess, my thing with
Lindsay, just the way she spoke, I was like, you know what, I'll bet she ends up being
more judgmental than Angie.
And I was wondering at first if that was going to be true, because Angie did seem to be,
I was like, oh, no, Angie, don't get snotty.
Like when she went to the house, she's like, ew, you know, she had like kind of a lot of
that reaction.
And I was like, oh, no, don't go down this past.
It's not going to work out well.
Yeah, but also, like, it's a crazy lifestyle to jump into.
Like, she had a much harder transition than Lindsay did.
So, but what I did like to hear was Tanner said that they actually had the standard American dream thing that they bought a house.
They lived in suburbia.
And we see their old house.
And Lindsay goes, it was a nice house.
We had running water, which I think is, like, funny that that's like the first.
Normally people say, like, we had an open concept.
We had a kitchen island.
We had running water.
It was a nice house.
we just got sick of ship lap
but no it's not ship lap it's like we got sick
of running water I mean just the noise
the automatic heat
I mean who's heating this am I right
I would rather just know where the match came from
that's all
society has this box that they want us in
you know clean water gross
and we are definitely outside of that box now
and I kind of started when I was diagnosed
with rheumatoid arthritis and started going to the doctors
and they just wanted to put me on a pill
and I decided to eat anti-inflammatory
diet instead so basically
Basically, because of that, they start growing their own food, and then they...
You ever heard of whole foods?
It's called turmeric, okay?
Give up running water to get a thing of turmeric.
For Christ's sake.
And she's like, and instantly, I felt better.
So we moved away from suburbia.
It turns out rheumatoid arthritis came from a cold attack.
It's very dangerous, very dangerous.
You just turn around around.
Your body just knows it's not ever going anywhere.
Just around around in that circle.
It hurt my elbow.
So we got the hell out of there.
Take you that.
Well, now we're here.
We feel more fulfilled.
I mean, the closest person is probably four miles away,
which, by the way, I feel like if you're going to be like bragging about being remote,
I feel like four miles away is like not that crazy.
I feel like you have to be like 30 miles away.
But like, yeah, the latest, the nearest person is like four minutes away from our house.
It's crazy.
I love that you're judging their off-grittiness.
You're like, you were not off-grid enough.
Whatever.
Whatever off-grid poser?
Hello. We watched like a dwell. We did a dwell hello on people who lived up a river. Like that you had to access it via boat. You had to take a special boat to get like that. That. She's like, what if my husband has a heart attack? They're like, well, you better call a helicopter. How long do those take? I don't know. You have to get to the pay from from the river. So it's going to have to learn how to drive with a heart attack, drive a boat. And they're literally like that. And now here comes Lindsay being like, our nearest neighbor is four to five minutes away. And then,
You know, it takes us a good 30 minutes to get to town.
I was like, well, that's, okay, that's more, that's more annoying.
But however, but we watch the Pioneer Woman.
That's normal.
We see.
Partner Woman, like, her whole thing is, the last time I watched Pioneer Woman, she was like,
well, today we're going to town at Sunday, so we have to get to town before the Baptists get there.
I was like, huh?
That was literally what happened.
She literally called out the Baptist.
She was like, have to get to the door before the Baptist get out of church.
That's funny.
That's a true thing, too.
Sundays are hell in a really religious town because you can't eat anywhere.
I mean,
everywhere is just lines out the block, you know,
because that's when everybody's out.
I love me giggling.
You're like,
because that's funny.
That's so true.
That pioneer woman.
I mean,
she's got her fingers on the pulse.
Am I right?
I just always remember.
I saw that episode like 10 years ago.
I just always remember the way she turned and looked at the camera.
I was like,
Baptist.
I was like,
really?
I was like, really?
So he's like,
yeah,
we're not tied to any type of power grid we have our own solar system out here and we have a
composting type of toilet yeah we don't have any running water oh my god do you win something for this
i that's i was wondering about it's one thing okay i get it like grow your own food i totally support
that i think that's awesome but like is it helping the rheumatoid arthritis to like have a stinky
toilet yeah i just i don't i don't know i don't get it you know like i'm glad that everybody gets
live their own way. I just feel like, I want to flush a toilet, you know? I feel like that's
one thing. You know, toilet paper took a long time to come out too. That's always what shocks me when
I watch a Western. They like sit on a little box with a hole on top, much like this. And they
poop. And then they use like pieces of like newspaper. That's what they wipe themselves with.
You know, like toilet paper didn't even come out until recently. It's some things we need to
embrace. Yeah, I agree. We don't have to be uncessual about everything. So she says that,
they've changed their mindset to having less and having more experiences in the dirt with our kids
and then buying them toys and i'm which i think is fine that i support all that um even though
like good luck not have fun not playing mario cart like the rest of us
like we decided not to give our kids a nintendo switch instead we got them a gun to shoot
their own cows for breakfast like what instead they can enjoy the pure joy that comes from
pulling a turnip out of the dirt no which is what mario does and superman but there's
too, by the way, you could be doing it on your Nintendo.
That's ancestral for Mario.
That's ancestral.
Incestral.
I want to like Mario to live an ancestral lifestyle.
It's time for a commercial.
It's time for a crappence commercial.
So she's like, yeah, and I want to show another family that there's a different way of living, connecting to the land.
And who better to teach those values than to a real housewife?
I think they probably need it the most.
See, snotty, real snotty.
She's very holier than now about her lifestyle.
That's what bugs me.
It's like, she's like, wow, look how not snobby.
It's like she's really snobby about being not snobby, which makes her snobby.
She's actually the more snobby person in this show.
So the producer then asked the kids what they think, Angie's going to be like, and Bridger's like,
rich and a brat.
They're like, why?
Because rich people are like little brats.
I'm like, well, you're the one who's being bratty right now.
Bridger.
Yeah. So Tanner's like, yeah, well, what if you go to some fancy house mom and it's amazing and you're going to be like, why am I going back? Oh, no, it's a husband. He's like, what are you going to, what if you go to this fancy house and you're like, why would I go back to that dump? And we're all kind of wondering the same thing. But she's the one he's the one he's the one he's the one he's the one he's down for this. He loves his wife and his family. He seems down for this experience. But you can tell he's.
really like he loves the stuff he gets to do this episode he's like oh my god freedom at last so
now it's time for the swap so angie i had an actual diet fucking coke
can i just have another one so then to my kids that could be ancestral please don't take the
diet coke away from me electra do you want some feta cheese are you not loving fetishis
anymore. Oh, my God, Electra is rejecting
feta cheese. What do I do? Am I even
still Greek? She's like, I've got a whole block
of it in here, mother.
Oh, sorry.
And my pillow is made of feta cheese.
Oh, there's that too. Sorry about that.
I went to
take a shower. You would replace my bar of soap
with a block of feta cheese.
That is true.
That is true.
Oh, good news, guys. I got a text.
I'm going to Chalice Idaho.
And they're like, wow, looks beautiful.
She goes, does it?
Electra's like, you'll be like a wrangler at some dude ranch forcing fed on to all the horses.
A wrangler at a dude ranch.
Do you think I'd be a fit?
It's like, you'd suck, mom.
You're going to die.
You're going to die at a dude ranch.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
All right.
Well, you know, I've been an outdoorsman myself, but her idea of roughing it is the four seasons.
Yeah, yeah.
Mailed it.
You still think I'm gay?
With repartee like this,
do you guys still think I'm gay?
Also, if you look at the kind of landscape of these two places,
they're not that different, right?
I mean, all the shots we see of Salt Lake City
kind of look like this other place.
I feel like they're in the same time zone.
So already, like, the show kind of failed.
You feel like you have to leave the time zone.
So Lindsay announces she's going to Salt Lake City.
And so Tanner's like, oh my gosh, who do you think it's going to be?
She goes, oh, my God, I don't know.
Lisa Barlow, maybe.
Ouch, A to Angie, because you know that hurt.
But also, what kind of off the grid are you, ma'am, that you know the Housewives of Salt Lake City?
Well, she looked them up.
She was on her phone and she looked them up and she did, like she read about them.
And then she decided that Lisa Barlow would be the closest.
You're not off the grid if you're on an iPhone looking things up.
Yeah, how about that?
So, Angie, I don't know why I'm so defensive.
about her being off the grid.
It literally has nothing to do with me.
And I'm like, don't try and take my toilet.
You get your goddamn ponytail off of my iPhone.
Because there's like a righteous element
that she seems to have, you know?
Like, oh, like they're like,
Angie's automatically gonna be a brat because she's rich.
And when meanwhile, the one who's more judgmental
in this entire thing is Lindsay the entire time,
she's way more judgey.
So Angie is, she's like, okay, Electra,
you can love Mrs. Chalice,
but you can't love her more than me.
Okay, Cuddle.
Let's like, I like Mrs.
Chalice more now. Oh,
Oh, Electra.
So now they leave and Lindsay puts her stuff in a backpack and Angie has all these
these suits and now.
The hat cases are really where it goes off the rails of Angie.
I love that she brings a whole hat case.
That shit was funny.
Like a mannequin too, like a mannequin head, right?
So good.
She brought a mannequin head.
I didn't even see that.
And she had like a little mannequin head that had like that something on like a wig or a hat on it or
I don't know.
That's funny.
But now they arrive at their new homes.
Yeah.
And they get to arrive there without anybody else in the house, which I like.
I like that they get a moment of privacy just snooping on how they live.
You know, I thought that was good.
Do they always do that on wife swap?
I don't remember how the original one worked.
I don't remember.
But Lindsay is walking around Angie's house and she's like, oh, my God, it's so perfect.
What do I do?
Do I take my shoes off?
I got to figure out who this is first.
Is that Angie?
Oh, my God.
This is crazy.
Like, wow.
Oh, my God.
I feel a little disconnected from the ancestors.
It's running water.
Oh my God.
me this place is giving scary like the hills have eyes scary which this is where i was starting to worry
that andy's going to come off as a total snob you know because she was like ew everything she saw
she was like ew and she's like wow this is old is this my husband or is this a piece of art
oh god it's like is this the guy or is this just some random art that is yeah it was a picture of
the guy fishing and um she counts the children
And she's like, wife, look sweet.
So then back to Lindsay.
She's like, oh, my God, it's just so fancy and so perfect.
Oh, God, it's a floor heated.
Oh, God.
How does she have this nice of a bathroom?
Okay, it is nice to have amenities.
Oh, a bidet.
A bidet.
I've never used a bidet.
This isn't very ancestral.
The ancestors didn't use a bidet.
Okay, I'll still be conscientious about the amount of water I use, though,
because I'm not going to be added my values to live in this fancy house in a fancy world.
There shall be no bedaing whatsoever.
So then Angie's like, I'm washing my vagina in a well that I dig myself.
Angie goes into the bathroom and it's just, okay, instructions say pop socket to open the toilet.
And she's like, wait a second.
Is there no running water here?
What in the world?
Oh my God.
What happens?
And then she flushes it.
And in a composting toilet, which I don't, I never really seen one.
I didn't realize that when you flush it like a trap door opens.
It's like in like a Cold War movie where like the missile silo opens up and the missile is supposed to come out.
But instead of a missile coming out, you just look down on poop.
Yeah, it's like a poop drawer.
Like you pull out the drawer and then your poop drops down in there or whatever, which means it's going to be covered in poop, that lid.
And so I guess you have to like clean the lid every time you go.
I don't know.
This just seems like a lot of work.
Yeah.
How do you keep that lid clean?
That lid was sparkling clean.
They must have cleaned it up for Angie.
Yeah, and it seems like you would have to use more toilet paper to clean up the lid, to clean all the poop off the lid every time.
And then how are you going to wash your hands?
Like, do you guys have pink eye all the time over there?
I got it.
It's too much.
That's a great question.
Yeah.
So she's like, yeah, one toilet and not having the running water for the toilet.
That's alarming.
I have a bidet and an automatic flusher, so I don't dare use the restroom for the next three days.
Angie got the shit end of this entire show.
Like we've seen like the households, the other households.
And Angie was the only one who got sent to an extreme household.
Everyone else got sent to a normal household.
Maybe they're messy or maybe there's who knows what.
But this is, she doesn't have running water.
Like how is she supposed to poop?
I'm sorry.
Pooping in this toilet.
I can't do it.
I can't.
The ancestors didn't get everything right.
So then we see Lindsay going through Angie's,
closet and she's just looking at all the glasses like oh my god what are these what does she even
wear these for i mean i guess i could wear these dirt biking or mountain biking i mean god
who needs this many glasses it just seems a little excessive it just seems a little bit
wow yeah sort of like your top knot huh talk about an excess so lindsay says okay oh are there
rules oh wow it's so fancy okay oh it's a scroll okay i don't i don't get this and just like really
trying to commit to her scroll bit even though you know the show it's so angie to leave like a callback
prop so she unscrolls it and it's really long i mean wow she really wrote on this scroll it's like
tiny writing too i was like damn so this is all the rules and um you know she's like welcome to my
biggest treasure my home my family and my grape leaves um so angie reads her welcome thing it's
like in a journal type book and you may have not noticed that our
Our home is unique and we live off grid.
You may notice that.
And they're just like, well, I sure did notice.
Yeah, I did notice that.
We hit the ground running at 7 a.m.
You want to be dressed and ready for your, oh, this is Lindsay reading.
She's like, okay, you want to be hit the ground running at 7 a.m.
You want to be dressed and ready for your morning workout with Sean.
After the gym, it's time to head to the salon.
It makes me really nervous thinking that I have to get all dialed up to put myself into Angie's life.
You know, because part of our journey to move off the grid was to leave this life behind of
what society tells you they think is beautiful.
So I'm really not down with what society tells me how I should live my life.
I'm more down with me telling society how they should live their life, which is very excessive.
So Angie's like, well, I hope you leave with the new understanding of what peace can look like.
Wow.
Wow.
So Tanner, the husband comes home and he's in a big truck and it's like, hello, honey, I'm home.
By the way, Angie is dressed crazily.
We haven't mentioned it.
She's wearing.
like stiletto heels huge puffy this big puffy outfit and these big sunglasses and all glam
he's like hey welcome so now she meets the kids and they're so cute and she loves hazel and hazel is
a little star i have to say hazel is great and the kids actually take to angie almost immediately
like they are they just you know for all their talk before about like rich people are brats they
were actually just full like their hearts were just so big and open towards angie and
angie you feel like was really big and like really took to them like right away it was yeah because
she hugs all the kids you know she's they all love her right away and um bridger's like when i
first saw angie i thought what the heck what's she doing out here she's like oh my goodness you all
give such great great hugs and wyatt i love your hair i love it i for a moment i thought
Oh, Angie's going to give them all a little haircuts because that's her thing.
But I feel like there was some intervention.
Like Tanner was like, do not touch their mullet.
Oh, no, you can't do that.
You cannot do that.
Would have been great.
All perms like she was trying to do on this season to Heather.
Give her a perm because she had to practice.
All the kids have curly hair when the mom comes back.
So then we see Lindsay meeting Sean and Elektra who are just super exciting.
You know, it's like, hi.
I'm Sean.
This is Elektra.
Okay, well, nice to meet you.
Electra wants nothing to do with this.
She's like, it's bad enough that I went through school all day.
It's not like fetid cheese because mom's not going to block into my book bag and I got to come home to this lady with a top knot.
But Sean's down with it.
Sean's totally fun.
He's like, he seems like he's having fun with this whole experiment.
And he goes, looks like you met the dog, Celia.
Oh, and this is Faust.
And she's just like, I'm sorry.
We don't.
We don't believe in literature.
Sure. It's not very ancestral. So I appreciate it if you just keep that out. And Sean's like, wow, she definitely has like a granola outdoorsy kind of vibe. I think she's like a VIP at REI, which is cute. That's such a rich person thing to say because R.E.S. pretty high up there. Yeah, that's like that's a wealthy person's like understanding of what like wilderness is. R.E.I. Yeah. Lindsay's definitely someone who went to goes to R.E.I all the time. You can see it all over her.
she's like um so i'm sorry i sneeps around your house um your excessive house by the way i walked
around i love your room i love how you are destroying your soul by using so many materials and
wasting so many uh resources to sleep in it so i'm just so happy it's nicer than my whole house
but not as fulfilling it's actually more evil than my house just want to put that out there no
judgment just want to say it wow a teenager with a room that's better than my whole house good luck
over here you are going to have a terrorist on your hands okay great
glad I got here to fix you.
And she gets, and
she's like, can I get comfortable and put on
some sneakers and take my heels off?
And so she does. She gets comfortable.
And then Lindsay is talking about how she
lives in a cabin homestead.
And Electra's like, what's a homestead?
Oh, homesteading is like, oh,
we're going to grow our food, have our own
animals. We don't even have
running water. We're just going to like actually
grow our children to be better than you, per se,
because they'll just get to understand things deeper.
and they'll just, you know, they're going to, like, their toys are literally parsnips.
And that just makes them better people.
Yeah.
Mom's going to totally want to come home.
She's going to be so gross out.
You're disgusting.
So then we go to day one house rules.
What did you say?
I was just saying what Sean said.
I have a question.
Do you think that, that Tanner slept on the sofa?
I can't imagine that they have an extra bedroom in their house, right?
Oh, yeah.
They're not going to make him sleep with the husbands.
Oh, my God.
No, but I meant like when, when,
said this is the master suite do you think he was like this is where we normally sleep you stay here
i'm down the sofa or do you think that angie do we even think that angie even stayed the night
or do you think they put her in a motel i hope she had to stay the night because i feel like the
problem the only one of the only things i didn't like about it is that they weren't together long
enough you really have to be somewhere a week or two to get the full effect like three days is
nothing because that's only two days really right or one day because you can get there one day
and then you leave another day.
They could count those as days, you know?
Because it didn't look like they only spent one day together, didn't it?
It was very, very fast.
So, yeah, Tanner gives the tour of the house, and he shows, like, this is the heat source.
There's a big wood stove.
And then there's like a big jug by the sink.
And he was like, this is the water that you can drink.
And she's, like, so excited to give the little tour and everything.
And she's like, oh, okay.
And Tanner explains that the water, they bring it up from a spring.
that's in five gallon buckets
that's down the hill
and they do that until they
have 50 gallons
worth of water in there.
I'm hoping everyone's really enjoy my New York accent
and say water, water, water, water, water, water.
And she's like, well,
I'm wondering why they made this choice for their
family. This is extreme.
So she's like,
okay, look, I better get my sunglasses on.
Okay, is this all your property?
And he's like, yeah.
She goes, okay, so Tanner, where do I shower?
here. And he's like, oh, here's the tub. And it's just one of those outside tubs. It's not connected
to anything. It's like in Salt Lake City when they had that scene with Jen Shaw and Heather.
Exactly. And Whitney. Yeah. The tubs outside. It's just a tub that they have to, they just have to
sit in that tub. And I think there are some footage, I don't know if it's now or if it happened
already where you see, I think, Tanner or Lindsay bathing. And when they emerge, they have like leeches on
them themselves. And he's like, oh, these buggers. Oh, these blood sucking
buggers. Oh, my God. Do they really? Yeah, there was like a scene with leeches.
They had to pull leeches off his hand. Oh, come on. Come on. Come on, man. I can take a lot,
but that's crazy. It's ancestral. It's ancestral, Ronnie. Come on. Do it for the ancestors.
Call social services. So, um, Angie's like, wait a minute. I have to shower and wash my
gorgeous hair out here.
And he's like, yeah, that's the only option.
Hazel's like, all the kids showering in there.
Yeah.
Or you can go to Hot Springs too.
Damn it.
So then they, they put on helmets.
They get on, they got on like little, like whatever.
Four wheelers or whatever.
Four wheelers or something.
And they go to another area where they have these beautiful, beautiful,
I mean, it's a beautiful piece of property.
I mean, it's gorgeous.
It's full natures and views and vistas and rivers and it's wonderful.
And so they get there and you're like,
you're a good little driver, Bridger, you're a good leader for us.
Would you like some feta cheese?
He's like, um, this is the first block you've offered me.
Amazingly, I can pull it out right from behind your ears.
Whatever you're doing to raise these children is good for the Greek community.
She's a feta magician.
So they check this.
spot out and the kids are so sweet with her and she's like i love being needed as a mother those
were the best years of my life when when elector didn't hate me just being around small children
that want my attention feels really good yeah i think she's giving um hazel like a piggyback ride or
something like that it's like really very lovely and tanner's like wow i love how hazel
loves you already it's like uh it's like uh she never acts this way with lindsay something
Something about access to electricity is really doing it for me, huh?
And so she talks about how she has a teenager that's pulling away,
so it's nice to, you know, hang out with the kids.
And she's like, you know what that's like, right?
He's like, no, there's nowhere for my kids to go.
So, yeah, I would die for my kid to have an iPhone to ignore me on.
But alas, we're rolling around in the mud together.
Okay.
So Ben Tanner tells Angie about how Lindsay has,
like matured arthritis and that had led to their lifestyle change and everything and just like
talking to tanner has helped me wrap my head around their lifestyle more but it wouldn't hurt
if there were a product within driving distance ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
look out for snakes she's like ha ha famous last words there are not snakes up here are
there he's like yeah fair amount she's like oh god god so then we cut to lindsay and she's like
okay, so what do I need to do?
So she goes over her rules and she's like, okay, I got to clean.
So Angie's rule is deep clean.
Every night, Sean and Elektra are watching TV on the couch.
And she's like, oh my God, I just don't care if my clothes are wrinkled.
I mean, I'm not going to take up my electricity for this.
I don't even know how to open a dishwasher.
Yeah, because they do have a crazy dishwasher.
You have to knock for it to open, which that is, to be fair, like that's crazy.
I don't know why we have to rethink.
handles so much like every electric car ever since tesla every electric car is trying to do something
funky with handles i mean how many ubers have you been in where it's like okay uh thanks for the
ride and you can't get out because you have to like you have to feel along the wall for like a
groove and you have to push the right part for a handle to pop out and they have to pull it and
you know you have to yank it and then it opens like can we just have handles be handles i think
it's okay yeah handle on the dishwasher i have one that you have to push the handle in to get out of the
car and it's just so annoying it's like no matter how many times i take my parents to dinner
still every time they're like, wait a minute, how do I get out of this?
I know, do we? Not everything needs to be innovated. Like the handle's in a pretty good shape.
I think we can just let the handle be. Okay, I'm with Lindsay on this one. Let's be, let's have an
ancestral handle. On the other hand, it is nice to teach people manners to like knock gently to get
something to open, you know? Maybe the dishwasher. Maybe we'll just progress as a society with
a dishwasher like that. I don't like the power the dishwasher has on me where I have to like knock to see if
it wants to allow me to open it.
Yeah.
I call the shots around here.
Commercials.
Here comes one right now.
So Lindsay is doing the hall.
I mean, this is beautiful, but why do you need it?
I actually really feel sad for Angie.
Like, cleaning her glasses is more important than sitting on the couch.
And then we see that she has to,
one of her things is that she has to go spray down her glasses every night
and clean them.
A whole collection of glasses.
It made me choke.
I mean, no, there's a little something to that.
Like, okay, Angie's missing out on quality time because she's so busy cleaning.
But what if, like, Angie loves cleaning?
This is, like, her joy.
Maybe she doesn't want to sit and watch whatever crap show, Sean and a lecture are watching.
Like, sorry, she doesn't want to watch another season of, I don't know, whatever crap
is on Netflix and there sure is a lot.
Bunheads or whatever the fuck they're watching in there.
So now it's dinner time and they have prepared
the tail of a cow. And so Lindsay's rule is
eat off the land. And so Angie's
like, well, bon appetit, everybody,
or shall I say tail appetit? So they start
eating and he's like, yeah, we do it
the Idaho way.
You know, bone apple teeth.
Okay, what a good girl, Hazel.
You're going to try some too?
like yum yum cowtail and Angie's like gross she's like so do you guys go out for dinner much
which is a funny thing to ask because there's like no restaurants anywhere in sight it's like
well we haven't been able to a whole lot because we have our strict our strict schedule of
not eating out like why haven't been able to get out to eat so Angie is uh she's like oh
okay well this has a unique texture I'm not sure how to describe it
let me try disgusting there oh it turns out i described it pretty easily so she loves the kids she
loves hazel um she's she's making a home video in the bed and she's like i've not had a shower
no dishwasher today i just knocked on a wall and a raccoon came out instead of the dishwasher
there's no washing machine and there's no running water i will be holding my number two my number
too.
So Tanner,
he's like,
what is the next morning.
He's like,
well,
everyone's still asleep.
This is how I like to start my day.
It's good to see the pink,
the big pink shot.
Oh,
look,
I'm looking out there.
Because he's up on like a hillside.
It looks down.
He's like,
there's some sort of big pink shiny thing
walking around the house.
That must be Angie.
Angie's like in all pink.
Watching her face on the patio.
So now they show her how to fill water up.
So they have to go hike.
to get jugs of water.
And then Lindsay is working out.
She has to go do the workout.
And it's like a fancy throwing the big ball workout.
And she's like, yeah, my workout is hauling my five gallon waters.
And the trainer's like, uh-huh, some farm girl shit, huh?
Yeah, well, get back on the bikes.
No one here cares.
She's like, okay, well, I'm trying to talk and do this at the same time.
And the trainer's like, yeah, Angie can bike and talk at the same time, a farmer lady.
And by the way, before that, um, she's,
like when she's looking at the thing she has to do today and she sees that she has to get
like manicure and pedicure or whatever it is she's like um can they be more natural I don't
really get manicures so being judgy once again yeah oh do I skip that part I like that it was a minor
like it was like it was like a minor moment where she was like she's just being judgey about them like
not being natural enough so andy meanwhile has to haul this it's fine if they're not
natural as long as they look natural yeah by the way hauling this water up that hillside
that does not look like an easy task.
No.
That looks like.
No.
That's why God invented pipes in around 1940, 1918.
I don't know.
When do they get pipes?
These are good things.
I don't know, 1997.
Pipes are ancestral.
They've been around long enough.
Incessual pipes.
Actually, they are a little ancestral.
I mean, the Romans had some sort of pipes, I believe.
Angie.
That was in the 80s.
We all knew first Debbie Gibson.
then pipes.
So Angie is, now Angie has to change the toilet.
This God forsaken compost toilet.
And Hazel's watching with such delight.
She's like, change that toilet.
Change the toilet.
And she's like, oh my God.
Wait, how do I do this?
Mommy doesn't.
She's like, oh God, mommy changes the toilet.
This poop is so stinky.
And Hazel's literally crawling up the wall.
She's on a door just cracking up at her.
She's like, wow, very humbling.
Okay.
Hazel, one chore down.
And Hazel was just cracking up, which is making me laugh.
So then we go to Lindsay.
Okay.
So, yeah, Mel Lifty has her new haircut, right?
We don't see.
Well, she didn't get it cut.
She just got a style.
Yeah, we kind of like we, we, I think we breased past it by accident.
And Sean basically takes Lindsay to the salon and gives her like a little blowout, right?
And her hair looks nice.
She has a nice little hair.
Her hair looks.
He puts effort into it.
It's perfectly nice.
And then now that we're going to do, the rules change.
now the Angie and Lindsay are going to impose rules in the household.
So first thing that Lindsay does, and this is the thing I hated,
is that she puts her top knot back in and she goes,
I'm back.
Is your identity twisted up in that stupid top knot of yours?
What do you mean you're back?
Can you keep your hair down for like what?
Like try to like be part of this experiment.
Like it's not going to kill, like of all the things that's,
I love how like the top knot is like the,
It's like the non-negotiable for us.
Like, no, it's got to come back.
It's got to come back right away.
It's not even like a glamorous thing that the top knot wasn't there.
But the fact that she couldn't eat like that somehow having the hair up in that little bundle,
that's not more ancestral.
That's not more natural.
It's just a top knot.
Why do you have to have it up there?
Also, I thought Sean was pretty respectful because he did her hair and he didn't do it crazy.
He just like he took her natural hair and made it look pretty and natural.
Like he put a couple curls in it, but he just made it look natural and pretty,
which is something that she would like, you know?
it seemed like he went out of his way to give her something that's a thing like instead of being like
oh i'm going to put some fancy hairstyle on this hick and see how she reacts he was like no i'm
going to give her something that she'll feel comfortable with and that she'll actually like and
yeah i felt like he was actually sharing i feel like he was sharing his life and and
doing a gesture to be like well i want to do something for you i think this would be a nice thing
and she just kind of rejects it in that moment and says i'm back as if like somehow not having that
top nut like had destroyed her who she was as a woman and now she put her hair back up
there. And I just thought it was like, I thought it was actually like, I thought it was like rude.
Stop not top not this. So mad. I was so mad. Well, she's glad that it's time to switch things up.
And she's like, yeah, it's so important to be connected to nature. Look outside. They're on Salt Lake City.
They're literally up against the mountain backdrop. It's pretty natural. All they do is ski. Yeah.
And so her daughter rides horses. Yeah. So she's like, okay, well, we're going to be off the grid tonight.
And Electra's like, completely off the grid, like out in the house.
And she goes, in your backyard, okay?
So no showers and our phones are going to be inside all night.
No technology for the night.
Lindsay's new rule.
Like, oh, great.
So then meanwhile, Tanner is like, okay, let's go to the Hot Springs.
This is going to be fun.
I don't know how many people have worn their Louis Vuitton sandals down at the Hot Springs.
Ha, ha, ha, that's funny.
Okay, guys, since we're going to do switch to my rules, guess what we're going to do?
We're going to go out to eat.
I don't really have rules for you.
I can't deep clean this house.
Even if I tried, the closest bottle of Windex is six miles away.
So instead, we're just going to go out to eat because I cannot have another meal of that cat tail again.
I cannot deep clean this house without a tractor.
So she's going to take them out to eat.
And they're like, oh my God, woohoo.
And right goes, wait a minute.
Can we get a drink?
She goes, you can get any drink you want.
And Bridger says, we've never, ever, ever ordered a dessert.
And she goes, really, that is, she goes, Tanner.
Tanner, what are you doing?
Tanner's like, I, I have no excuses.
So new rule family dines out.
So then we go to Lindsay and Sean and she's like, we're going to chop wood in the backyard.
And I'm like, oh, Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
What are you doing with that wood?
You've actually just wasted wood because you've, you've chopped wood to show that you're going to
Like, are you, they're not building it.
Did they build a campfire?
No.
She's just like, look, I'm a badass.
I can chop wood.
And she sounds like, uh-huh, great.
And so she takes Electra's phone and Electra's like, um, I'm not sleeping in that tent.
We can't even fit in that tent.
They're like teeny tiny tents.
And so then we go back to Angie and they're out to eat.
Now, look, one thing I think that Angie does that the mom is going to be pissed about is this.
Because it's not just taking them out to dinner.
They all get milkshakes to drink.
some sodas. That is like introducing children to drugs. That is like here is your first line of heroin, you know, or your first injection of heroin, your first line of Coke, whatever it is. Like here it is kids. And the mom is not going to ever recover from this. But you know what? Well, first of all, the mom controls their access. So they're just going to like she will provide rehab, et cetera. She'll probably also scared them like, well, now your body's going to go to shit. So yeah, got to grow three more turnips today. But this is, I think, also.
one of the sacred rituals of child rearing,
which is that you pretend like you're going
to deprive your children of screens.
That's the whole thing like, no, we're not gonna have a TV.
We don't want our children to grow up with screens.
We want them to like read books and they're not gonna read,
no no screens, no screen time for them.
We just keep them away from screens.
And then congratulations, they go out to school
and they come back and they're like,
can we watch SpongeBob?
Yeah.
They've all seen it or miss what's her face, Miss Jessica.
Like they see, they, they,
The screens happen.
The screens happen.
And so do milkshakes, guys.
You can't block off all the ancestral goodness.
I mean, not ancestral.
And the ancestors would have had, let me tell you something.
If the ancestors had access to milkshakes,
I'm telling you right now, they would have, for sure,
had lots of milkshakes.
Yeah, and lots more fleshing toilets, too.
Because of the poopers that they're going to get.
So, Andrea's like, this grid life,
this off grid life is extreme.
but the tomatoes will still be there.
The compost toilet will still be there tomorrow.
None of this is going away.
So I think it's important for Tanner to get out,
get off the property, and have some new experiences.
So they love this.
You know, they're like, this is fucking amazing.
And she's like, okay, guys, is this good?
And Tanner's like, wait a minute.
Are you guys good if we go dance, if we go on a date?
Because she's like, you better get Nana.
We're going out tonight.
And they're like, wait,
a minute dad you're going out with her you're cheating on mom you're married dad you know i didn't
hear that you better get nana park so i was wondering who was looking after those kids so that makes
a lot more sense yeah they're all just like whoa whoa whoa you barely even know her i don't
don't worry i won't be cheating on mom i'm just going to be doing some ancestor approved
dancing that's allowed right so then lindsay decides to gut a fish she decides that she's
going to gut a red snapper in front of everyone that she bought from the grocery store which is
even more hilarious she did not fish that out of the great salt lake
have you gutted a fish she's like okay here's how you do it and they're just like oh gross you
know it grab it cut it slit it pull out the guts and uh they don't do it so meanwhile mary
comes over and mary comes out and sees this and she's like laughed
when mary oh when mary showed up just as she was one of the guts out of the fish i was like these producers
are so diabolical it's so funny she's like oh my god what is she doing is she skinning a chicken
it's like it's a red snapper you don't like red snapper she's like oh i love red snapper
but no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no and she goes
Are you going to come for dinner?
She goes, mm-mm, no.
She goes, okay, well, you're getting the next one.
She's like, no.
You don't like Red Snapper?
Not like that.
Well, what happens if you have to do it yourself, though?
She's like, I just pray to God that I don't ever have to do that.
Is Angie doing this?
Is that what Angie's doing where she is?
Well, we hunt for food.
We have no running water.
So it's fun.
We love doing it.
I think we need to go rescue him.
So she checks in with Electra and asks her if she's okay.
And Electra's like, my dad's enjoying this off-gridness.
I don't know why.
God, disgusting.
But it is kind of funny.
This, like, the Elektra's, like, having such a hard time when it's been like two hours and you're just in your backyard.
And it's going to be, like, one overnight, you know, like, it's not like she, like, her, your mom is the one who's really going through it, Elektra, not you.
Yeah.
So, Angie's in love with Hazel.
So we go back to there because she's doing Hazel's hair and doing her glam.
And she's like, she loves girly things unlike Electra.
So then Lindsay is asking about her kids.
She's like, how do you think they're doing?
And Sean's like, well, oh, no, she's asking about Angie and Tanner.
I keep thinking Tanner is one of the kids.
So Sean's like, well, that's the question that's been on my mind for several hours.
You know, another question, how's Meredith's Mark's doing?
I love her.
Icon.
She goes, you know, did you get a chance to read the letter by the way?
He's like, uh, the letter.
You should read it.
you know, the scroll, because there's a part where she mentioned all the work it takes into
going into this house and sometimes not being seen and appreciated. And then I added a part that said,
you wasteful pig. It was funny. I laughed. Yeah, so maybe she feels like she goes and goes all day
and there's things she does for the family out of love. And, you know, because isn't that what we do
is wives and mothers? And he's like, uh-huh. Yeah, it just seems like, you know, it's just so exhausting,
Sean. And he's like, well, you've opened up my eyes. Maybe I, you know, I think her nagging
and perfectionism comes from a good place. Maybe I just need to let her know that I appreciate
her more. Like, isn't, hasn't that been the plot for three years, Sean? You didn't need this lady
with the top pony to tell you this. Get on it. So in Idaho, new rule, adults, adults go back
on the grid. So Angie and Tanner
go to a bar for drinks and
dancing. And Tanner's like
it's like, well, Angie's the fancest thing
to walk into that place in a long time because
Angie's now wearing like a
kind of like a like a
fashion. Fainly, by the way. Like cowboy
outfit. Her version of
what a cowboy would look like but it's
crazy. You know, it's like a costume.
Yeah. Yeah.
Just not one of those people said, is that
a gavon she boot? It's kind of a waste
of money, honestly. Wow.
I've learned about the real things in life.
I could have gone to Walmart and I didn't.
Oh, well, her lesson is that no one cared about her.
Gavanchi boots, the rural Idaho bar.
She's like, well, we need to let our hair down, Tanner.
And I'd say that with respect, because Tanner has no hair.
And he's like, yeah, well, when you live where we live,
you almost forget what city life is life in milkshakes and French fries.
Oh, God, and parts of the cow that aren't.
near its asshole.
Is this,
is this city life for you?
Just want to do a level set.
He's like, man,
those cities with all the stop signs and the three stores in them.
Gosh,
I forget what it's like out here.
So then back in Utah,
the producer is asking them where they slept.
And they were like,
fuck that.
We went inside.
Okay.
We made it till 12.45.
Well,
I guess,
I guess,
you know,
I can't,
you know,
I didn't like that Lindsay.
Well, I don't know.
I'm still angry at Lindsay about the top.
Because I was also going to be like, well, it's not fair to be angry at Lindsay for rejecting,
but then they rejected Lindsay's thing.
But the thing is that they had a tiny tent.
And I think Sean would have stayed out there if the tent had been like bigger and probably had not been siphlingly hot.
But it just didn't.
Yeah, they should have stayed in the tent.
I think they should have stayed in the tent.
Sean should.
I mean, how hard is it?
I did that as kids.
We would go sleep in the backyard and tents and stuff.
Yeah.
But there was no padding.
They didn't put, they didn't do any padding to make a,
comfortable. So I would have liked them to have done it, but they didn't. Yeah, they didn't do it.
So then, um, let's see. Angie's like, wow, uh, I want to give you a little present so you can
remember me. These are sunglasses with the Greek flag on them. They're like, wow, what's Greek?
And she's like, they look so cool on you. You guys look so cute. And so they love them. You know,
kids love a gift. They're like, could we get a Nintendo now? This is cute. Can we get a Nintendo?
No, no, just Greek glasses.
Lindsay does something I think is good.
I like that she brings in a garden bed and they plan to make a little garden.
I think that was sweet.
I like that.
This was a good moment for Lindsay.
Well, I feel like Angie probably already eats a lot of organic food, don't you?
Every time we see her making something, it's a salad.
Yeah, but you know, that house is like famously very sterile and like all hard angles and just white.
And so it's sort of nice to have a garden bed in the back that you just grow something.
It's cute.
I like it.
Yeah.
So it is appropriate that like the girl with the animal crossing hair then like also built a garden for them.
Like she's pretty much just living animal crossing.
Yeah.
So then, um,
Electra's like,
I mean,
I'd be okay to do this when it's 65 degrees.
Not when it's 94 degrees.
But she does help her and by the end she liked doing it.
And they like squeeze out the tiniest bit of growth from Elektra.
Because she's like,
Elektra,
where do you want to put the oregano?
There.
Where do you want to put tomatoes?
There.
Are you having a fun time?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Aren't you proud of yourself?
Aren't you proud of yourself?
I mean, I was just so surprised how disconnected they are from nature.
I mean, people can go to grocery stores.
Disgusting.
I mean, they have a huge house and a tiny patch of green in the back.
And now that they have this garden, maybe they can spend more time out there in that little box.
Walking back and forth asking the lecturer where she wants to put tomatoes.
So Lindsay's like, are you proud of your?
yourself. Yeah, I guess maybe not as proud as when I want all those awards with the horse,
but I guess putting oregano in the corner is pretty cool too. So thank you. Yeah. So they had fun.
Angie had fun and she's really going to miss Hazel. And so she's crying and she's like,
oh my God, I didn't know. And also she's sitting there without makeup, without her hair done.
You know, you see like the raw natural Angie. And she's like, you know, showing up in my heels
and my mini skirt and looking all high body count and the kids are probably like oh gosh she just throws
that in there during her like emotional scene the kids are like oh gosh who is this lady but then seeing
how hard they work to just make poop go away I'm leaving a better person than when I came and so
she cries and she's like I'm not even worried about my face look at me what if you can see
the wrinkles under my eyes who cares I'm Angie Katzenamus and my eyes and my eyes
I browsed thinner than anybody knew, and I'm fine with it.
I'm living ancestrally.
Wait a second.
This isn't Greece.
So she gives them this sweet hug, and she's like, you guys are the most amazing family.
I learned a lot from you guys.
Oh, you just think your way is the right way.
And I learned this weekend that there is no right way, just whatever works for your family.
And they're like, we learned a lot from you too.
Any chance you can drop us off at the milkshake place by the way out.
Can you leave us a handy?
Thank you.
And Tanner's like, yeah, we hardly know each other, but, God, she's so open to thoughts and feelings.
And sometimes it's all anyone really needs.
I hope my wife learns that.
And Angie's waving out like, love you.
And Tanner's like, love you.
Bye.
And Bridger says, Dan, how dare you say I love you?
What happened at that bar last night?
He's like, I'm not going to lie, son.
It's the most fun I've had in nine years.
And all I did was dance.
So now Lindsay is
She's giving
She's saying goodbye to Sean
She's like well I know
Electra's at school
So give her a big hug for me
And tell her bye
And just ask her again
If she feels proud of herself
For that at Reganow
Because that was a big moment
You have to admit right
Just ask her
Tell her thanks so much for the note
I got in my wallet this morning open
And I said fuck you lady
Get out of my house
What's really really sweet
That she wrote that herself
She didn't type it
So
So
So then Angie comes in and he's like, oh, my God, I love your kids.
And Lindsay's like, oh, my God, I love your daughter theoretically.
She's so, she's so potentially very amazing.
And Sean seems like he would be nice if he wouldn't stop trying to take over my hair.
So, yeah, feel the same way about your family.
And she sees the tents.
And she's like, have we moved outside?
And so she's like, is this my new primary?
So she sends Sean out to grab her suitcases, which I love.
She was like, I'm back, get my suitcases.
So she talks about how that felt like forever.
And she really sees how hard Lindsay works and, you know, how much effort she puts into it.
And Lindsay's like, yeah, you know, that's like the dream we want.
Because all this other stuff, that was just distractions for us.
Yeah.
Well, your lifestyle is really humbling.
And then I thought when I pulled up like, oh, these guys, these kids have to take a bath outside.
And then I felt so bad for being judgey.
And then when I saw you guys have everything, it was beautiful.
Now, what do you want to cry about about how you were judgmental about us?
Huh, your turn.
She's like, yeah, I'm really glad you saw that.
Okay, well, I thought I'd be laying poolside and drinking margaritas or something.
And then here I get here and there's cameras everywhere.
I have to be on all the time, cleaning sunglasses for three hours.
So, yeah, I thought that would be easy.
But sunglasses have a lot of crevices that people don't understand.
And she's like, yeah.
but I just want to connect more as a family.
She goes, because that's what most important.
Yeah, that's most important.
So it's strange to have you,
you have to go so far away from your life
to see that your daughter doesn't want to speak to you.
I know, I know, I know.
Why is that?
Is that hilarious?
Oh, God.
So, I'm so happy for everything that you learned from my family
and how little I learned from your family.
Yes, I needed to have this experience.
So thank you.
And she talks about how,
Angie talks about this is like a wonderful experience and so many great memories and
just growing up fast. She wants to spend more time with her. She just wants to focus on her family.
She's never going to forget the flakes.
Yeah. So Lindsay is like, well, bringing off the grid's not easy. I wanted to cry too, but I did it.
And, you know, I realized I was able to show another family a different way of living to bring happiness into their life.
So see, this is what bugs me about Lindsay. Angie is like, wow, I learned so much from this family. They're so great.
And Lindsay's like, I'm so glad they could learn from me.
Yeah, exactly.
What did you learn?
Didn't you, did you not learn anything?
Nothing.
Yeah, so I thought that was interesting that she came out more of an asshole at the end.
But at the end, it was still a nice show, you know.
Yeah, and actually, by the way, Lindsay was by and large very sweet, but she was quietly
judgmental and she did not learn anything from the experience.
In fact, they give an update and they say one month later, Lindsay has never been more sure
about her life on the grid, but every day and then she,
thinks about Angie's bidet, which is basically like they just couldn't find anything to say about
her because you know she never even used that bidet. That's wasting water. Yeah. Well, that brings
us to the end of WIFo Swapa. Next week, I believe, is the Melissa Gorga episode. We'll be here
for that. That goes. And we'll be back tomorrow with some Real Housewives of Orange County.
Thanks so much for being with us, everybody. Bye.
