And that flicks and really, beyond, that we just love to watch. I'm Ben Mandelker of the Real Houseware as a kitchen island and also the game brain podcast. I'm gonna actually be co-hosting this week's episode. So take, keep an eye out for that one.

And joining me is the wonderful and hilarious Ronnie, how are we? What's up, Ronnie? Well, hello, Ben. Hello, everybody. Hello, hello. So today, it's Friday. We've had some gaps in our recapping schedule.

We've been sort of playing around with different things. Last Friday, we had an interview with Kim D, which was great, by the way, and people should listen to that. She was super candid and fun. I had a great time with that interview. So if you wanna get some good tea about New Jersey, be sure to look that up.

The week before that we did Emily in Paris, we've done my octopus teacher, the action park documentary. We've just been like playing around with recapping different things until Bravo's slate gets a little bit more full time for us. And today we thought we would check out Dream Home. Is that what's called Dream Home?

Dream Home? Dream Home. Dream Home. Dream Home. Dream Home. Is that what's called Dream Home? Dream Home? Dream Home. Dream Home. Dream Home Makeover. So this was a new show that premiered on Netflix over the weekend, and it had a lot of hype. And we thought, let's just check this out, especially since this week, we debuted our new

limited series, Dwell Hello, for Citro premium. And that's all about house hunters. It's 12 weeks straight of recapping house hunters. And so we're sort of like in a home and garden state of mind. So why not tackle dream home makeover? So that's exactly what we're doing today. We both love a home design show. We really do.

It's just, there's something very comforting about it. And also like it inspires me to try to do things which I never will do, but it inspires me, which is fun, you know? Yeah, yeah, me too. I love these. I watch HGTV all day, every day. And so I thought, you know, let's see Netflix. Netflix has a, they've tried it.

They've tried it. Yeah. They've had Genevieve from HGTV, Genevieve Gordner. Gordner? Gordner. Gordner. Yeah. Genevieve Gordner. We all just know her as Genevieve, okay. Originally from Trotting Sposels. And she has a show on there about designing rental properties. Like, I was going to say bedbathing beyond properties. You know what I mean? I was gonna say bedbathing beyond properties. You know what I mean? Ben, bed rental.

What do you call it? Airbnb's? Yes, Airbnb's. And that one was okay. I kind of like that. I like her a lot. There's the home edit. There was the home edit,

which we actually recapped on a bonus episode a few weeks ago, which was, you know, it was all right. We only watched one episode of that. I definitely thought about it. That stupid show while I was rearranging my, it was all right. We only watched one episode of that. I definitely thought about it. That's stupid show while I was rearranging my cookbook collection this week. And I was like, should I do the rainbow? And then I was like, no, that's ridiculous.

But there's the home edit. So then here comes Dream Home Makeover. And it's basically about a couple that lived in Southern California and then moved to Utah and are renovating things. So yeah, they have a lot in common with the other show we mentioned, the classic show, because they became famous on Instagram and then got a show. So if anybody wants a show, get your eyes famous on Instagram because that's how you do

it. Yeah, apparently that's how you do it. Yeah, apparently that's what you do. So their names are Shay and Sid McGee. And we learned that in 2013, Shay designed her first home. Shay is just like, by the way, let's describe what they looked like. So Shay is basically like a variation on Christina from Christina on the coast and flipping. What was that?

Why am I playing flipper flop, right? She sort of like a flipper flop. I think she looks just like Megan Hilti, the musical theater actor. She was in that show smash with Catherine Westerbunds. I married David Foster and now I'm having an old baby. Yes, Catherine McVee. Oh McVee McGee, you see?

Well, she also has like a little, just a little like touch of Connie Britton in her as well. Yes, like maybe a young Connie Britton and she has kind of a look of the actress who plays Little Red Riding Hood in Into the Woods. If you've ever seen the video of that. She's got a familiar face, but they both have very familiar faces if you've ever seen

a white person because these are, I have to say, these are the widest. And this is what you think Utah is, right? This is like the stereotypical Utah where everything, even the things they design are white. That's her thing. She wants everything as white as possible. Like there is a certain kind of whiteness that is just like Hitler youth white. Yeah. She's, it's like, have you ever said to yourself,

hey, I wonder what would happen if that stock photography came to life and then renovated a house? It's like, that's what these two are like. Yes, like target pictures, like target picture frame pictures. Yeah. It's exactly, that's exactly what it is. It's like, oh, I just got this amazing,

very cheap and affordable eight by 10 frame from Target. And now the people inside it have a show on Netflix. Yeah. So she has, you know, kind of the modern day Cinderella story, the Insta-Rella story, where she designed her home in 2013, and then she started posting it to Instagram, and then soon after I had friends, family, bus drivers,

homeless people that could think of themselves and purpose with dick pics, I mean, they all just loved it, and it just turned into a paying business, and so we sold our home, and we used every penny that we made from that home to buy denim, barn doors and lower Ashley dresses to convince everyone that we're happy and our ginger baby is most miserable as she looks and that cover fell out. So we have Studio McGee, which is our interior design company and then McGee and company,

which is our furniture and decor business. And then we have McGee and McGee, which is actually our table mat business and then McGee. Roll with McGee's. That's where we sell little paint rollers. Look, I'm holding one right now. McGee incorporated, which is actually where we developed scissors to cut through red tape. Tits McGee.

Tits McGee is a bra company. Very, very proud of that one. You know, I sold my bra in 2013 to start a new bra company called Tits McGee. So. Bed, bath, and McGee to start a new bra company called Smiggy. So bed bath and McGee beyond, which is where we have our bedding. McGeeodles where we sell the widest hamburgers you'll ever see. We also have McGee King, which is a rival to McGeeodles, even though it's the same company, but that one just has onion rings. Yeah, they love they love McGee. So she runs creative and said her husband is the CEO. Okay,

just warning here guy who sits like, I'm not sure if I'm just a handyman or the good lot. Okay, Sid, I don't know if anybody's told you this before, but you're fucking useless. This is what happens when you marry a useless man. This guy is so useless. He leans on the couch during the interviews, puts his arm on the back of the couch in interviews, which you know I hate. I've always hated that. It's like that, just I don't give a fuck what you think kind of opposed, but he's like trying really hard and he literally does nothing. He does nothing. He is basically there because someone in Netflix said, you know, we want to see the houses, but this is also a show

about relationships. So we need to see both of them. So let's just have them there because there's a scene in a little bit where she just tries to explain what his value is in this entire thing. And I'm like, oh, they made you say that's that with the audience is like, why is he here? Because there's no reason for it to be there at all. And I keep wondering why doesn't she hate him? Because she seems to like genuinely like him. She doesn't have that era of disdain that Christina has on flipper flop where she's like once Tark did I. Yeah. Um, this girl seems like really like him and she laughs at all his jokes and like she likes it. He's useless. It's weird.

Right. Yeah. What's fun about Shay is that um, when I first saw her, she seemed like really nice and everything, but then you realize that she is a little bit of a control freak and that no one really likes her and that she thinks no one likes her. And you can see that she has this complex where she wants people to realize that she's not being judgy. But then she says everything in a kind of a judgy way, which I really like. She's like, she is judgy and she's trying to break out of that, which is kind of like me.

So I related to that. So do you think that she's with him? Now that you talk about that, I think maybe she's with him because he is like light and fun and personable. And so he can do that part of it. And then she can like do the bossing everyone around part. Yeah, maybe, maybe. So either way, she goes, you know,

whether our clients have $2 million or two, I want our clients to have a sense of peace, especially if they have $2 million because you know we're not working pro bono, sorry. I've got my employees. So, I'd love poor people. Congratulations on your box, not touching it. Yeah.

I love when they try to be democratic on these shows. Like, whether you're Reese Witherspoon or a front-by-doctor who runs Marathons, we just want to help on TV. And these, this couple, actually everybody on this show because I watched a second episode too. I literally, that was, that are the World Poker series, which by the way I watched all day now too, because I'm out of HD TV shows So I just sit there and watch poker all day now when I have time and Vince is on that show

Vince Van Patten is one of the hosts Yes, you know one of the guys on the show. Oh my god. He's so funny. Anyway, the point is I Watch the second one because I had nothing else to do and they have rich people guilt where they're like super rich And they're all in these big mansions and they're like, but I'm doing this for everybody It's not just for me. I want like other people to be happy too Yeah So Shay so now we see Shay running around the house with her kids

They're rental and they're making the beds and They are currently designing 18 dream homes across Utah and the country. But our biggest project is our own home, which we're building from the ground up. Well, that's, I mean, that's a good start, honestly. I mean, it's a good plan. Like, let's start at the ground.

Yeah. And then we'll just keep going up. OK? We're starting with the second story. We built everything in the sky and hoping we have enough wood to make it to the ground. The sky is not only the limit, but it's also where we're starting. So they're living in a rental now with their children,

Ren and Ivy. And but they've got to be out in two months because the owners sold the house. They were like, were these awful people living on our house? We have to sell it before it gets haunted. And this is their, this is, she talks about like, if you ever watch the Olympics, you know how they, they have those like really sad story. Like here's the Olympian, but he was attacked by a lion when he was five years old lost in eye and you know whatever and then they play the music and the person's crying. She talks like that about moving out of their first house. So she's like, we sold our first house and we started a business. Like, okay, real fucking hero over there.

I know. And Sid is like, well, we can go to another rental or a hotel or a nice hotel. She's like, and then she's also, she also is one of those moms that makes her daughter wear matching bows all the time, no matter what. Yeah, they've always got to have a bow.

Yeah. So now this I will say, these freeways in Utah. Our core, Utah is gorgeous. It is gorgeous. From everything we're seeing on this show, it is just a gorgeous place. They have a freeway that goes around a mountain and it's got like 20 lanes on it.

I mean, I don't even know this huge. I was like, wow, Utah is not afraid of really pretty asphalt. And I feel like all the signs are like these Serena, like when you drive by them, they go, how are you giving a good drive? How are you, car? So they're driving, Cheyenne Sid are driving to their clients. Emily and Zan call, and I was like,

I feel like I'm hearing a lot of syllables, but I can't parse them into names. Emily and Zan call. I'm like, where's the first name? Where's the second name? Where's the last name? I know, it does sound like somewhere where you could get a euro for sure, this couple.

Emily Zan call. So they're working on an extra living room space because they just don't know what to do with it. And- What do you do when you have two living rooms? It's hard. It's so hard. So this is where Shay tries to justify

why sit on the show. She's like, you know, it's funny because when I get down to business, when I go to a site, like I just get right down to business, I'm like not fun, but when you come along, you make it fun. It's like a party. So I'm glad you're here because otherwise,

I'm just like an unfun woman on TV. And no one wants to see an unfun woman on TV because a patriarchy. So I'm so glad you're here. And he's like, well, you know, they do kind of stress about giving you the right answers, babe. Like they just feel like they have to please you. So we go over to this house and he's like, you not.

You have a fierce knock. I'm like, you can't even knock on the door. Like, everything that happens on the show, he's like, babe, you know what? I think you should do these dishes because if you do them, then they won't break. You know how bad I am at that. But you're really good at doing dishes.

Babe, I'm not saying that you're the scary one in this relationship, but your knock is really fierce. So you do it. You scare them with your knock. Cause mine's more like, I actually knock like a matoor belt. Like when I knock, you just hear, ding dong, it's really weird. Yeah, but you knock really fear sleep, babe. I just put down, he does nothing like I can't even believe he even drove over here.

I know. I'm convinced that there was a production assistant down below just putting his hands on the gas and the brake just praying that he was doing all right. Yeah, this guy's just got his arm on the back of the seat. Yeah, look at's just got his arm on the back of the seat. Like, yeah, look at their eventually babe. So they get to this house of Zanemurna, Emily and Zan. I can't with your name Zan, I'm sorry, but Zanem. No, you're gonna need to rethink that.

And also, you're here. You have Mimahar. I know that that's like trendy Instagram influencer guy here, but you're 50 and you need to stop it. Okay, it's Mimahar. No, he's cool because his name is Zan, which is short for Zander, which is short for Alexander. So he's like double nicknamed up.

Okay. So Emily, Emily, who has three eaves in her name and know wise, and probably saw Emily in Paris was like, that's me. So Emily and Zan, that's me, but I'm spelled better. I would also send back that steak, ew. So they have been married for 15 and a half years. And we have like five children. So first is Lollat, who's almost 10.

And then Crosby, who's seven. And then Sylvie, who's five. And Phoebe is two and a half. And we are hoping for one more Just cuz we have a whole bunch of really terrible names. We want to use hope it's a boy I hate when people say that I don't know why Like just have your damn baby, okay? Your baby doesn't want to have to watch his show in ten years and make oh my god

Mom didn't even want me Mom always like low-let cross, be more than me. Well, I feel like with the name like cross, we everyone's gonna be like, oh yeah, that crossbeats still to measure. Like I don't know, crossbeats just sounds like a fun name, where they're like Phoebe, which what kind of, what now come on now. But crossbeats always be nice to a crossbeats. Here's the thing, Phoebe is which what kind of, what now, come on now. But Crosby, they'll always be nice to a Crosby. Here's the thing, Phoebe is a lovely name.

Oh, there's a bug on my wall. I kind of wanna kill it. Hold on, I'm killing this, cause this show is making me wanna kill this bug. Hold on, I gotta do it. Really? Oh my God, seriously. This is a professional show.

I've been getting, I have been getting, like, bitten up by bugs for the past day or so. So I'm like, I'm, this, oh, so here's my thing. What kind of bug was it? It was, I don't know, it was like a small little, little like a freckle that was walking on the wall. And I just, it looked like one of those bugs that like if it went on, like unchecked,

it was gonna like spawn 50 million of itself. So I was like, I have to kill it. So, sorry, people who love bugs. So the thing is this, the name Phoebe is a lovely name. I love the name Phoebe. But in the context of LaLat and Crosby and Solvey, Phoebe suddenly becomes awful, you know? Yeah, because I feel like it's not spelled like Phoebe, it's spelled like F-P-H-E-E-B-Y-I-E or something. Yeah. Because this is Utah. Also, did you notice that there was,

I kind of felt like I picked up on some sexual chemistry between Zan and Sid. I don't know. I felt like the way they were iron each other up, I was like, there's something going on with Zan and Sid. All right. I'm just feeling it. I'm feeling it.

And it feels hair. I mean, there is definitely something about Zan's hair that just says, like, fuck me and I'll never tell anybody. Yeah, I definitely got that hair. And he also, he's also very helpful. Like he's they say, oh my God, Zan is so helpful. Like he did this whole place himself, okay. And like he's so helpful that he loves to go to other neighbor's houses and help them. I'm like, I'll bet he does.

Yeah. He moved the staircase by himself and he went into a crawl space and dug the cement out by himself. Like he's having sex with the staircase. Let's just be honest guys. Let's just be honest guys. So let's go look at this second dining room, which is just a conundrum, okay? So they go in there and they look at it and it looks like an after shot on HGTV. Yeah, I was like, oh, it's nice, it's nice, it's nice rug, nice carpet, there's a sofa, and she's like, here it is in all its seventies glory. Ew, I was like, it makes spacious and roomy and the kids can play around in it, wonderful. Yeah, and I always say when we talk about HGTV shows,

it would be nice to see someone that's not on a budget of $5. Yeah. It's like, here's my trailer and $5. Make it beautiful, and they're like, look's my trailer and $5. Make it beautiful. And they're like, look what we did for these poor people. Like sometimes it would be nice to see some opulence and some aspirational homes.

But after this show, I don't know that I need it, you know? Because I just kept getting annoyed. I was like, what's wrong with this room? I know. It was already great. And Emily's like, so like we host like crazy in the summer because our yard is awesome. I don't know, do you get a shot at the yard? No, you're not gonna put a shot at like crazy in the summer because our yard is awesome. I don't

know, did you get a shot at the yard? No, you're not gonna put a shot at the yard in the show. Okay, well, because I just, I just mode it for Netflix. Okay, great. So glad you're not using it. So our yard is awesome, but in the winter, I shut down because I hate this room so much. I don't want people to come over and see my, my, my well-carpeted room with a nice sofa in it. And so I, yeah, we have safe and all friends. And she's like, well, you know, this is your bonding space. Now, so how are you hoping to use it? Bonding?

Hope you're gonna say bonding, because I believe that design is for peace and personality. Yeah, bonding. Bees of personality. And was like, well, I wanted to be a dining space, but also an office space, but I also wanted to be a crafting space, but also an office space, but I also wanted to be a crafting space and also a vacuuming space.

And just a space to think about space, like both in terms of physical space and also space what's out there. I mean, what is out there? So it just could be a lot of things. I wanted to be sort of like modern, traditional and classical and abstract, but also like funky, but also solemn, is that cool?

And she's like, you know what, we mean here? Symmetry. Because you know what doesn't create peace in harmony in your life. A fireplace that goes all the way to the wall. Like, who does that? I mean, modern people, that's what it does that. And guess what, we are not modern people.

We are getting rid of that fireplace that goes all the way to the wall. How disgusting. I mean, it'd be one thing if you're going for a modern aesthetic, but I mean, look at you. You're not modern at all. So let's make it classic. Am I right? Am I right? High five, Sid? No? Don't leave me hanging here. Don't make me look like the judgey one, Sid. Come on, Sid. Make me fun. Honey, it would be great if you could high five yourself because you just do a really good job at that.

So you do it. You do, babe. Comments. Here comes one right now. Raising kids can be one of the greatest rewards of a parent's life. But come on. Someday, parenting is unbearable. I love my kid, but is a new parenting podcast from Wondry that shares a refreshingly honest

and insightful take on parenting. Hosted by myself, Megan Galey, Chris Garcia, and Kurt Brown-Oller, we will be your resident not-so-expert experts. Each week we'll share a parenting story that'll have you laughing, nodding, and thinking, oh yeah, I have absolutely been there. We'll talk about what went right and wrong. What would we do differently? And the next time you step on yet another stray Lego in the middle of the night, you'll

feel less alone. So if you like to laugh with us as we talk about the hardest job in the world, listen to, I love my kid, but wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad free on the Amazon Music or Wondery app. Um, I want to just prove to everyone that I'm the fun one. I'm just as fun as Sid. I'm not judge at all. But is this where the baby sleeps? Is this where you put a crib here? Is this, I don't even know if this is a closet? I mean, what is this, but I'm fun. Yeah, it's a closet.

And they're like, yeah, it's a baby sleeping space. Now, Emily hadn't won me over until that, because that is how to have a baby right there. Like you're going in this closet, okay? See you later, Saka. They make you tiny for a reason. Shae is like, well, you know, with new clients, I think that they feel pressure

that I'm gonna be judging them in some way. and I just want to show everyone I do not house shame. But if you do put your baby in what sort of a closet, I am going to maybe point that out, but it's not a house shame, just a choice shaming. Oh my God, I'm going to have to put dark and moody and light and bright together. How am I supposed to do that? I mean, they're such a fun, cute, young, white family. What am I gonna do? And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and and, and, and, and, and, and, and and, because like when you do something yourself, you just like every single flaw. So it's gonna be nice to like sit back

and notice someone else's flaws, you know? Yeah. And she's like, you know what? We decided that no matter how big our business is grown and it has, I don't know if I've mentioned that. But we never want to underestimate the power of one small room. I'm like, oh, okay. So this is your poor, this is what you're doing for the poor right now.

This is like a living room. I love a one room transformation. You know, it's enough to make you feel good, but it also reminds the clients that they're still not rich enough to get the whole house done. So then we go to their office, McGee and office Gee, and they've got like 50 people working there or something. I know it's like a direct TV consumer support center.

And Shaz, I'm gonna sit down right here between you and the Snacks Pam. Just get those snacks from McGee Snack Company because that's our in-house snack company you really should. And they want to divide this space into three usable spaces, a living room, a dining room and an office. Zach Swing. So for dining, she's like, we are going to remove the built-in and we are going to center that fireplace because it is disgusting as it is all the way to the walk. And you believe the honey, you're seeing kind of bitchy right now? All right, I'm reeling it in. Thank you, Annie. Now we're going to have a couch.

It comes to window, floating chairs, and then we're going to open the closet. Okay, do all the work. I'm leaving now. Bye. I'm gonna go to my giant not magnolia home home. So it is very magnolia home. Yeah. So they drive their house and she's like, it's just so crazy. It doesn't really feel like our house yet. It just feels like we're going to someone's side. I just wondering what it's going to feel like our house. I wonder if it's when I step in there and I'm

judgy to myself and I'll be like, I'm at home. Yeah. So this is one of those shows where they're not only doing their own house, they're not doing someone else's house. They're also doing their own. So half the show is watching them do their own house, and I don't know that I like that.

I don't, so I don't really love their house, because it's just like a new big kind of big mansion, you know. It's a huge house. Here's what I like about their house. Tyler, the contractor, hey, oh, oh, Tyler. I'm not a little bit more Tyler. Hey.

I'm not a little loose with a hammer. Yeah. So Tyler is a jack of all trades. He just asks questions, which I guess is what makes him a jack of all trades. He asks questions. I'm like, Sid. And Sid's like, yeah, he's the epitome of a gentle giant.

And he could rip off your arms and pin you to a bed. But instead, he's just really nice to work with. That's what I love about him. So she thought it's modern and traditional and finishing the main room is a top priority. So the fireplace went in, oh my God, it was 5,000 pounds of solid limestone from Texas. Sorry guys, I'm kind of happy. And it's also shaped in a weird top-sided way

where it looks like it's just about to fall over on you as you're poking at the wood. I love that. Yeah, I hope there's no earthquakes in Utah. Because everyone's dead. And they're like, seriously, and they're like, so, like, a seed is like, what's going to prevent this from falling over? Because it's 5,000 pounds, and also looks like it's about to fall over.

And Tyler's like, oh, yeah, we got posts. So it's in,000 pounds and also looks like it's about to fall over. And Tyler's like, oh yeah, we got posts. So it's in posts in the wall. And so basically, it's gonna fall over. The whole wall will have to fall over. I'm like, that makes me feel worse. Are you saying that not only is the fireplace gonna fall over, but it's gonna tear down the wall in the process. Is that what you're saying? That's what I thought too. I thought crack foundation and sinking roof. This house is gonna be a disaster because of that damn fireplace. You can't have hot contractors.

That's what that just taught us. No hot contractors. He is so hot. And he is so gigantic, my God. So then they go over to talk about the hood plaster. And he's like, you want that buffed in polish? And she's like, I want movement, but not polished. Yeah, not shiny.

And then they're like looking, and then they're in like a bathroom area and she's like, oh, I want to put my tub here. And she's like, who's the tub for? And she's like, I don't know, it's just for me to look at because I'm so rich that I have tubs that I just want to look at. It's like, yeah, because you're not going to use it

fake Alicia Cuthbert. Oh, yeah, we never see people on these shows who are like, tubs gross. I know, right? Why do people love a tub? But she's like, that's disgusting. Hose the children off, okay? I'm not using a fucking tub.

So now it's demo day at the call project. So they get there and Zana's already moved electrical box for everyone, which is really nice and hot. It's like, I'm glad that I didn't do that kind of stuff. I wouldn't mess that up, right, honey. She's like, yeah, I wouldn't sleep safely if you had moved in electrical box, you idiot.

And he's like, yeah, I wish I could take on things, but you know, you're just better. So she's like, I know, honey, stop talking, because I'm better at talking also. So they're gonna incorporate boredom, batten because it's all over the house and it's like, it's basically like panels. And she also wants to create an integrated shelf.

And she's just, she's just like really excited for them to have a space that feels like home, even though they are at home. And so inherently, she's just like really excited for them to have a space that feels like home, even though they are at home. And so it inherently- Yeah, exactly. I'm not creating, I'm not just creating a room, I'm creating a mindset change. You know, I'm gonna use vertical lines

so this room looks tall. I'm basically in a shoebox right now. I'm filming this in a shoebox. It's gonna look like a room when I'm done. Yeah, these stupid idiots wanted a moody room, even though literally everything in their house is white. Like, are these people for real stupid faces?

Oh, and she loves white, everything's white, white, white. So they were packing back at their house, and this is where she's packed. He's like, gosh, you should pack the dishes, babe. You're better than me. I mean, you know, I'll just break them if I look at them. Yeah, you know, folding paper over ceramics is really hard. So here, oh, look, I found photos. This is one we're first dating.

Oh, look, that's when you were holding the camera. She, you're just so much better itself is than I am. And, wow. And there's had story is, ever since we sold our house in California, we've been living in rentals. Yeah, she cries like three times every time she talks about selling her house in California. It's so funny to me. So then they go to their house that they're working on, Zanz house, Zan and Emu, and

they're putting their fireplace in and I'm like, wow, it looks like you're building the set of Rosanne compared to your own house. I know. Well, we found some driftwood, which is funny because there's not a sea in sight, but we found some and we decided to just nail it together into a u-shape and put it over your fireplace. Looks good, I think. So they decided to go for bottom dark paneling and white walls above and that's how we're

going to mix moody and dark with light and bright. Like, wow, you're going to mix dark colors with light colors. That what a crazy take on that, say. But I like that shade, shades Emily. She's like, well, she said she wants moody, but I mean, look at this house. There's literally nothing moody about this house, right? I mean, she named her eldest daughter, Loll lat. That is not moody, all right? And her husband is probably, you know what? Let's go with the color the cheating heart

Cheating heart pain. I like also that like the three swatches Look more or less the same, right? There's like variations on on navy blue and she's like I don't know This one looks a little safe. Let's go with cheating heart. Like, there's no difference. There's no difference. They're all Navy blue. I'm sorry to break it to you.

So two weeks to move in, back at their house, and their kid is just telling one of the workers, I want the preschool. Yeah, the workers like, I can't afford preschool for my children. You privilege the old brat. So I'm teaching my kid off YouTube. Thanks for sharing. You little fucker. So they do something else really annoying to me.

They set up a picnic in the unfinished house. They have a picnic basket with all the plates that are in the perfect place in the basket and everything. You know, the workers are like, great, I haven't had a lunch break in three months because you've been riding me so hard, but please, by all means, enjoy your stupid little lunch right there where all my tools are.

And I can't go through the physical shooting show. I haven't been able to lift a sandwich to my mouth since that fireplace broke my back, but enjoy your Capri-Sun over there. Yeah, enjoy your Niswa salad. And your Topo Chico, which I love that they have Topo Chico. I thought that was a local delicacy. So Shay is like, okay Shay, I have some design questions for you.

Who are you kidding? Or as a Sid? Just like, I have a design question said. I'm like, kidding? Or is it said? She's like, I have a design question said. I'm like, he's not doing shit. Let's stop pretending. And so she's like, I really like this dark color for the cabinets. Everybody, did you hear me?

I like this dark color. Okay, so I'm gonna have Ivy pick the color because she's really good. She's like, the dark one. Yes, oh my God, she's so good at design. Yeah, she is so good. And then she does something that really pisses me off. She goes, you know, I just, I think that darkwood will be a nice contrast because of all the white walls and white floors and the dug fur beams. I'm like, it is Douglas fur. You do, you're about,

this is not Nicholas Cage. You don't get to call him Nick Cage. Okay, you're not friends with This is not Nicholas Cage. We don't get to call him Nick Cage. Okay, you're not friends with Mr. Fur. Okay. So she's totally Instagram friends with Doug. They like, they like DM each other. She's like, Doug has your fur. Douglas Fur, say Douglas Fur, not Doug Fur. It's ridiculous. And then the guys are putting up the beams and they're on lat they're on death-defying ladders because it's one of those Matches with like 900 fuck tall ceilings. Yeah, so they're putting up these beams and sit just cuz well those beams It's your cysteine chapel, dude

Guys like fuck you I mean what I mean those ceilings were so high are they like planning on like installing a brontosaurus skeleton in there I mean like it's like the natural history museum good luck ever change a glide bulb. Yeah, yeah, enjoy that enjoy the world largest step stool It's ridiculous So they're going to back to the core project. Yeah. And she's like, there's always hesitation. Will they like it? We'll sit far down their couch.

But I'm feeling confident. There's always that nervous moment when you wonder if Emily thinks she's a lot more modern than she is because she is. Emily, there's that awkward moment where you walk in and Emily set up a cinnabon tray And tried to pretend that she cooked everything herself with a little calligraphy note telling you to enjoy yourself That's always fine. That's always fun. That's so modern of her. I'm using your quotes Danish is not modern So I guess what said does he by the way We we should give Emily some credit because in the millions and millions and millions of these home shows that we've watched,

never has anyone actually thought to put out a little snack for people. I'm like, thank you, Emily. You know what, you won me over. I think she's just trying to be friends with Shay. I think she's like a fan from Instagram and she's like, oh my God, we would totally be best friends if we ever met.

And so she does things like Leaves out like really beautifully handwritten like southern trays of you know baked goods and then Shay is like fuck that I'm not eating a fucking Danish you kidding me. I'm on television Meanwhile only her husband eats it and Shay like secretly resents Emily for leaving First place. That's actually true. In which case though, I still like Emily because Emily was basically passively shaming. Shay, like, oh, I know she can't eat these. I'm gonna leave them out.

Hey, hey, Shay, I left you a bunch of Danish. Oh, did I happen to, oh, I forgot that I saw on your Instagram that you can't eat Danish because you're on a diet. Anyway, I hope Sid enjoys them. Hope you're having fun cracking moody but light. And then it's just like, Sid, Sid eating a Danish, it's like wacky, like Sid can eat anything, look,

he's eating a Danish again. Yeah, so then let's go, project reveal, humongous truck comes up and Emily's like, oh my God, I've had borderline nausea for days. So. And then her Midwest accent gets really strong out of nowhere. She's like,

because then they go in and they see it. And she's like, oh my gosh. How did this happen? Why am I so weak? I didn't even cry when I had our babies. Oh my gosh. I love that. She goes, I think when I had my baby, did I cry when I had our babies?

And he's like, no actually, she's like, yeah, this is our best baby! I'm shaking, look at me, oh my gosh! I like that she just totally threw her kids up to the bottom. Well, that's like thanks mother. She's like, oh my god, I wanted a kiss you, Shay, god. Oh, I wanted a kiss you. Shea. I really did. I wanted a kiss you. I'm so happy. So I'm just gonna grab your head and your hair and then just look at this modern but moody lighting. Whoa. And she's like, yeah, use I created two sensibilities here using two wall treat man's and look at your fireplace Can anything be more in the middle of a room than that fireplace?

When you see that fireplace does it just like fill you with feelings of not being modern at all You must feel that right and shade love saying this because she says it in the next episode too She goes we made three different rooms in here. Listen, not everybody wants three rooms. They're not living in a studio apartment. Okay. She goes into this mansion in the next episode and they give her like the whole bottom floor or something.

And she's like, guys, I created three rooms in this one space. Like, lady, can we fill up our house? It's already a mansion. It's nice. 10,000 square feet She's gonna just like start importing cubicles in I've made nine spaces in this kitchen So they'd loved it of course, yeah, it looked good by the way. Let's not let's not look I thought it looks really good. It was it there was a little busy from certain angles, but I think overall I

Thought it was pretty good. I love the time. Yeah, it looks good. It looks um Like very Modern and clean and white like I mean it totally looks like a Instagram home design You know what I mean? It's kind of like a mix of that farmhouse Modern type thing. I'm looking at her Instagram now and yeah, it's just like, oh, super white, you know, rooms. But yeah, it looked like, I mean, it's actually kind of what I'm into. So I liked it. But it's not like watching an HGTV show where it's like, whoa, what a crazy transformation. This is already a pretty room that they painted nicely and put

some furniture in. Yeah, pretty much because Emily and Zan did not have the creativity to like put in furniture or whatever. But you're right, it was a nice room to start out with. But I thought it was really nice. And Shay is like, design is so important because it affects the way you feel. You know, these rooms that you design, you spend more time with the people you love or at least who you tolerate and have to do everything for, you know? Yeah, so it was pretty cute. So in the next episode, yeah, they do this big mansion and the couple's super trying, like trying to be rich humble. And she's like, well, the reason I mean my house done

is because I am so proud of us for being so rich and I just want to share with everybody. Like I want to be like this house is for you too. It's like, I don't know. I think there are plenty of poor people who would appreciate your charity in a different way. It's like, wow, look at that lady. She is so charitable building a mansion.

I mean, that I can enjoy from my TV. Yeah. But, um, yeah, overall, like pretty good. I'm going to watch the rest of it. So, like, I'm sitting here in line. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. It's good, like, idle TV to have on the background.

I mean, look, the, we're never, I'm never going to get tired not sure. It's it's good like idle TV to have on the background. I mean, look the we're never I'm never gonna get tired of seeing a before and after Situation like I'll always be like I have to watch So I don't know. I mean, I think that especially now that I've finished Emily and Paris. I got to watch something else now So hey, maybe it'll be this show. Yeah. All right everybody.
