#3049 Wife Swap The Real Housewives Edition S1E1: Off the Greek

0:21Well, hello and welcome to What What What Crabbends, a podcast about all the things we love to talk Welcome back on Eurobravs. I'm Ronnie. That's Ben. Hello, Ben. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going? Everybody, welcome. Very special day today. It's the first episode of Bravo's Wife Swap, the Real Housewives Edition. Dun, dun, dun. You want to watch this on video? Do it at Patreon, okay? That's where you get all our videos. Crappin's on demand. Also, we do bonus episodes over there. This week, we just had a little talkie 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.

1:02That's fun. Go over there for all that good stuff. And thanks to everybody who's there. But today is Wiveswap. How'd 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. Then when the trailer came around, I also was not enthused. And I was like, oh, my God, this just be 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?

1:35Yeah, I thought it was really fun, too. My niece is in town, so she was watching it with me. And 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, did we get more? Yeah. Reaching Gen Z. It's 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 endearing lead for this sort of show because as much as Angie pops off and once she gets activated, she just sort of doesn't shut up.

2:15she 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 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 osefo 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.

2:57I think the other families may be in trouble with Wendy Osefo and Emily Simpson. But yikes. Yeah. I think Melissa is actually going to do well. I think Melissa will have a very nice episode. but yeah uh 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 but right i think she probably has like a husband casting thing going on just like melissa gorga does you know because even when they show in the previews the melissa gorga thing they're really showing joe gorga with the wife you know yeah That's what we see in the previews.

3:41So, yeah. So, we'll see. But we start in a 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 shithole. It's a nice city, but it's just funny. 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, ha. Yeah, mom, everything was already clean. It's already clean, mom. It's like, is it though, am I OCD or am I just a person that has a gift of making things perfect?

4:24Well, 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 was a thing, a bit that she was doing for this show. I definitely get the sense that Angie is down there steaming clothes every single day.

4:54I 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 sun down. Being the bossy Greek wife that I am, Sean sometimes 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. I'm sure she showed him this tip every day.

5:30You 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. She's like, 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.

5:57That egg just came sliding right the hell out of there. Sliding, sliding. I have a ceramic pan. I finally decided to, you know, I'm trying to move away from the Teflon. And so I've played around with some ceramic and I have to, you know, those ceramic pans, those things go flopping all over the place. They are very nonsticky. But the problem is that like the nonstick goes away much faster than on a Teflon. But someone told me that you just have to start thinking of nonstick 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.

6:31And you just have to accept that, that you use it until it's used up. And then you spend another$20 and you get another pan. And that's been very helpful for me. So I say get a cheap ceramic pan. There you go. It was way more information than you needed. Yeah, that's a good theory. You know, I actually do have a very good nonstick. It's just not as slidey in this one. You know, I mean, this one was just impressive. This was like a gold medal winner of pans. so um 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 happens oh sean why is this show trying to convince me that sean is one of the like sloppy dumb husbands i'm never gonna believe that no one with muscles like that and i saw him at bravo con 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 coiffed he had like a big Louis Vuitton bag that he was carrying around really tight, perfectly fit tailored to clothes.

7:29I mean, smells good. Perfect muscles. I mean, this guy's anal as hell too. Yeah. So, but we see Angie micromanaging Electra. She's like, go put on sunscreen. No boys in the chat. Go, 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. Electra was like, 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. So then we see her looking at some sunglasses and she's like, I've always loved fashion.

8:16It 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 Schiaparelli. Is that how you say that? Schiaparelli? I think so. Schiaparelli? I thought it was kind of stupid. It was stupid, Mother. Stupid Schiaparelli. More like Schiaparelli. Okay, Electra, you're about to get spanked with a fly swatter on your face. You're lucky you're not my daughter. I wouldn't spoon you on the teasy, young lady. Better watch your smart mouth. I feel like I'd be closer with my mom if she would just like tone it down a little bit oh you mean cleaning your room every five seconds if she 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 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.

9:19For me, that's precious time. So, like, let's get back to that. Then Electra asks Angie to get some boba, and Angie'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 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.

10:00And 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 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 a 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.

10:38Top 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 were certain like kind of mannerisms 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 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. It's like a little dog with a top knot.

11:08And 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 it's what's 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, which is 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.

11:43I've been out there plowing this thing with a horse for five years. It's like, I haven't, I, I take a bath and I come out, I got leeches on me. You, you're telling me there's a way you could take a bath without 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.

12:19So Lindsay and Tanner and Tanner's 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 and 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 I, my thing with Lindsay, just the way she spoke, I was like, you know what?

13:01I'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 path 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 um but what I did like to hear was Tanner said that they actually had the standard American dream thing that they bought a house.

13:32They 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 shiplap, but no, it's not shiplap. It's like, we got sick of running water. I mean, just the noise, the automatic heat. I mean, who's hating 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.

14:02And we are definitely outside of that box now. And it kind of started when I started, 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 because of that, they started 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 cul-de-sac 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 did that hurt my elbow so we got the hell out of there tell you that well now we're here, we feel more fulfilled.

14:50I 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's 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 like well you better call a helicopter how long do those take i don't know you have to get to the payphone from the river so it's gonna have to it's gonna have to learn how to drive with a heart attack drive a boat and they're literally like that and now here comes lindsey being like our nearest neighbor is four four to five minutes away and then you know it takes us a good 30 minutes to get to town i was I was like, well, that's okay.

15:46That's more, that's more annoying. But however, but we watched the Pioneer Woman. That's normal. We see. Pioneer Woman, like her whole thing is, well, last time I watched Pioneer Woman, she was like, well, today we're going to town. It's Sunday. So we have to get to town before the Baptists get there. I was like, what? Huh?

16:03That was literally what happened. She literally called out the Baptists. She was like, have to get to the store before the Baptists 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 you giggling. You're like, ah. 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 will always remember. I saw that episode like 10 years ago. I just always remember the way she turned and looked at the camera.

16:32I was like, Baptists. I was like, really?

16:40So it'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. And we don't have any running water. Oh my God. Do you win something for this? That's what 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 to live their own way. I just feel like I want to flush a toilet, you know?

17:16I 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 till recently. It's some things we need to embrace. Yeah, I agree. We don't have to be ancestral about everything. So she says that they've changed their mindset to having less and having more experiences in the dirt with our kids than buying them toys, which I think is fine.

17:49I support all that. Even though, like, good luck. Have fun not playing Mario Kart like the rest of us. I know. 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. Which is what Mario does in Super Mario Brothers 2, by the way. You could be doing it on your Nintendo. That's ancestral for Mario. That's ancestral. Ancestral. I want Mario to live an ancestral lifestyle. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial.

18:28So 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 thou about her lifestyle. That's what bugs me. It's like, she's like, wow, look how not snobby I am. It's like, she's really snobby about being not snobby, which makes her snobby. Exactly. She's actually the more snobby person on 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.

19:03They're like, why? Because rich people are like little brats. I'm like, well, you're the one that'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 the husband He's like 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 who wanted to come to this place So I'm sure she's going to come back With tons of reasons why her lifestyle is the best He's actually projecting onto her in that moment Because he's the one who seems like He's down for this He loves his wife and his family.

19:38He 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 feta cheese anymore? Oh my God, Elektra 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.

20:19Oh, 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. Woo-hoo! 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 onto all the horses. A wrangler at a dude ranch. Do you think I'd be a fit? She's like, you 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.

21:05Yeah, yeah. Nailed 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.

21:44But 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 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 lindsey the entire time she's way more judgy so angie is uh she's like okay electra you can love mrs chalice but you can't love her more than me okay cuddle electra's like i like mrs chalice more now oh oh electra so uh now they leave and lindsey puts herself in a backpack and angie has all these these suits and they 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 like a mannequin too like a mannequin head right Right.

22:55So good. She brought a mannequin head. I didn't even see that. And she had like a little mannequin head that had like that, 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 home. 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.

23:25What 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. There's running water. Oh my God, they'll kill me. This place is giving scary. Like the hills have eyes scary. This is where I was starting to worry that Angie'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 a painting she's like is this the guy or is this just some random art that yeah it was a picture of the guy fishing and um she counts the children and she's like wife looks sweet so then back to lindsey 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?

24:19A 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 bend in my values to live in this fancy house in a fancy world. There shall be no bidet-ing whatsoever. So then Angie's like, I'm washing my vagina in a well that I dig myself. Angie goes into the bathroom and says, 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 she flushes it and in this sort of in a composting toilet which i don't i never really seen one i didn't realize that when you when you flush it like a trap door opens it's like it's like uh 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 and i don't know this just seems like a lot of work yeah how do you keep that lid clean that that would 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.

25:40Like, do you guys have pink eye all the time over there? I got a little, 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 you, we've seen like the households, the other households, this 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 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 um lindsey going through angie's closet and she's just looking at all the glasses like oh my god what are these what what does she even wear these for Or, I mean, I guess I could wear these dirt biking or mountain biking.

26:39I mean, God, who needs this many glasses? It just seems a little excessive. It just seems a little bit. 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. Oh, it's a scroll. Okay, I don't get this. Angie's, like, really trying to commit to her scroll bit, even though I know her 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 the 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 and she reads her welcome thing it's like in a journal type book and you may have noticed that our home is unique and we live off grid.

27:30You may notice that. And Angie's 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, we 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 dolled 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.

28:00So 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.

28:12So Angie's like, well, I hope you leave with a new understanding of what peace can look like. Wow. Wow. So Tanner, the husband comes home and he's in a big truck. It's like, hello, honey, I'm home. By the way, Angie is dressed crazily. We haven't mentioned that she's wearing like stiletto heels shoulders huge puffy this big puffy outfit and these big sunglasses and all glam and he's like hey welcome so now she meets the kids and um 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 gonna give them all 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 yeah all perms like she was trying to do on this season to Heather give her a perm because she had to practice it's all the kids have curly hair when the mom comes back uh so then we see Lindsay meeting Sean and Electra who are just super exciting.

29:54You know, it's like, hi, I'm Sean. This is Electra. 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 smelling like feta 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 believe in literature. It's not very ancestral. So I'd appreciate it if you just keep that out.

30:29And 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 REI is pretty high up there. Yeah, that's a wealthy person's understanding of what wilderness is. REI. Yeah, Lindsay's definitely someone who goes to REI all the time. You can see it all over her. She's like, so I'm sorry, I sneaked around your house, 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 resources to sleep in it.

31:08So 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 Angie'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?

31:41Oh, 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 actually grow our children to be better than you, per se, because they're just going 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. Mom's going to totally want to come home. She's going to be so grossed 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 Tanner slept on the sofa?

32:14I 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 he 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, 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.

32:45Like 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 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 as down the hill and they do that until they have 50 gallons worth of water in there i'm hoping everyone's really enjoying my new york accent doesn't say 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 uh like okay look i better get my sunglasses on okay is this all your property and uh he's like yeah she goes okay so tanner where do i shower here 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 have 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.

34:10And 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. 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 bro come on man i can take a lot but that's crazy ancestral it's ancestral ronnie god do it for the ancestors call social services so um and she's like wait a minute i have to shower and wash my gorgeous hair out here um and he's like yeah that's the only option hazel's like All the kids showering in there.

34:58Yeah. Or you can go to Hot Springs too. Damn it. Uh-oh. So then they put on helmets. They get 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.

35:40Whatever 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 electra 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 lindsey something something about access to electricity is really doing it for her, huh?

36:25And 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 rheumatoid arthritis and that had led to their lifestyle change and everything. And Angel's like, talking to Tanner has helped me wrap my head around their lifestyle more, but it wouldn't hurt if there were a Prada within driving distance.

37:03Ha, 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 it 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.

37:40You 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 I can't get out. Cause 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 you have to pull it. And then you don't have to pull you to yank it. And then it opens like, can we just have handles be handles?

38:09I think it's okay. 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. Not everything needs to be innovative. 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 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 dishwashers.

38:39Maybe 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.

39:03So Lindsay is doing the whole, 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 add 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 Elektra are watching.

39:39Like, 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 of - 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 going to try some too? And she's like, yum, yum, cow tail. And Angie's like, gross. She's like, so do you guys go out for dinner much?

40:24Which 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 schedule of not eating out. Like, why haven't you been able to get out to eat? So Angie is just 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. 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.

41:07And there's no washing machine and there's no running water. I will be holding my number two. My number two. So Tanner, he's like, well, it's 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. Oh, look, I'm looking out there. And because he's up on like a hillside. He looks down. He's like, there's some sort of big pink, shiny thing walking around the house. There 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.

41:45And 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 she's like when she's looking at the things 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 did I skip that part I like that part it was a minor like it was like a minor moment where she was like she was just being judgy about them like not being natural enough so Angie meanwhile has to haul this water 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's why God invented pipes in around 1940, 1918 I don't know when do they get pipes I don't know 1997 actually they are a little ancestral I mean the Romans had some sort of pipes I believe Angie that was in the 80s

43:11we all knew first debbie gibson then pipes so angie is uh now angie has to change the toilet this god forsaken compost toilet and hazel's watching with such delight she's like change the toilet change the toilet and she's like oh my god wait how do i do this mommy does it 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 um lindsey okay so yeah melissa 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 we i think we breezed past it by accident and uh sean basically takes lindsey to the salon and gives her like a little blowout right and her hair looks nice she has nice little hair, her hair looks, he puts effort into it.

44:09It's, 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 on 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 it. Like of all the things that I love how like the top knot is like the, is like the non-negotiable first. Like, no, it's got to come back.

44:45It'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 of 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 she would like instead of being like, oh, I'm going to put some fancy hairstyle on this hick and see how she reacts.

45:20He was like, no, I'm going to give her something that she'll feel comfortable with and that she'll actually like. And then I felt like he was actually sharing. I feel like he was sharing his life 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 knot like had destroyed 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. Top knot diss.

45:50So 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 in Salt Lake City. They're literally up against the mountain backdrop. It's pretty natural. All they do is ski. Yeah. And so - Like her daughter rides horses. Yeah. So she's like, okay, well, we're going to be off the grid tonight. And Electra's like, well, 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.

46:26They're like, oh, great. So then meanwhile, Tanner is like, okay, let's go to the hot springs. This is gonna 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 gonna do? We're gonna 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 gonna go out to eat because I cannot have another meal of that cow tail again. I cannot deep clean this house without a tractor.

46:58So she's going to take them out to eat. And they're like, oh my God, woohoo. And Ryan 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? She goes, Tanner. She's like, 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 what are you doing with that wood? you've actually just wasted wood because you've chopped wood to show that you're going to chop like are you they're not building it did they build a campfire?

47:45no she's just like look I'm a badass I can chop wood and Sean's like uh huh great Right. And so she takes Electra's phone and Electra's like, 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 and 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 gonna like she will provide rehab etc she'll probably also scare them like well now your body's gonna go to shit so yeah i gotta grow three more turnips today but um 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.

48:50That's the whole thing. Like, no, we're not going to 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 going to read. No, no screens, no screen time for them. We just keep them away from screens. And then congratulations. They go off to school and they come back and they're like, can we watch SpongeBob? Yeah. They've all seen it. Or miss Jessica. Like they, they, The screens happen. The screens happen. And so do milkshakes, guys. You can't block off all the ancestral goodness. I mean, non-ancestral. And the ancestors would have had. Let me tell you something.

49:24If 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 flushing 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 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, OK, guys, is this good?

50:01And 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 upset. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You barely even know her. 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.

50:39She 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.

50:51Have you gutted a fish? She's like, okay, here's how you do it. And they're just like, oh, gross. You know, grab it, cut it, slit it, pull out the guts. And they don't do it. So meanwhile, Mary comes over. And Mary comes out and sees this. And she's like, oh, I laughed. when mary showed up just as she pointed 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

51:21it'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 yeah it's like no no no no no no that's what we're doing that's what we're doing she's like yeah we're getting a fish she's like no no no no no no no no and she goes are you going to come for dinner? She goes, 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?

51:53Well, we hunt for food. We have no running water, so it's fun. We love doing it. I think we need to go rescue. So she checks in with Electra and asks her if she's okay. And Electra's like, my dad's enjoying this off-grid-ness. I don't know why. God. Disgusting. But it is kind of funny that Electra's having such a hard time when it's been like two hours and you're just in your backyard. And it's gonna be like one overnight. It's not like she... Your mom is the one who's really going through Electra, 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.

52:31and 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 Marks 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.

53:13And 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 as 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, hasn't that been the plot for three years, Sean? You didn't need this lady with the top pony to tell you this.

53:51Get on it. The lady with the top pony. 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 auntie's dress namely 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. Not one of those people said, is that a Givenchy boot? It's kind of a waste of money, honestly. Wow, I've learned about the real things in life.

54:32I could have gone to Walmart and I didn't. Oh, well. Her lesson is that no one cared about her Givenchy boots. The rural Idaho bar. She's like, well, we need to let our hair down, Tanner. And I 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 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.

55:14So 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 1245. Well, I guess, I guess, you know, I can't, you know, I didn't like that Lindsay, well, I don't know. I still, I'm still angry at Lindsay about the top. I was also gonna 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 it probably had not been stiflingly hot, but it just didn't.

55:47Yeah, they should have stayed in the tent. I think they should have stayed in the tent. I mean, how hard is it? I did that as kids. We would go sleep in the backyard in tents and stuff. Yeah, but there was no padding. They didn't do any padding to make it comfortable. I would have liked them to have done it, but they didn't. Yeah, they didn't do it. So then, let's see. Angie is like, wow, 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 can we get a nintendo now this is cute can we get a nintendo no just greek glasses lindsey does something i think is good i i like that she brings in a um a garden bed and they they plan to make a little garden i think that was sweet i like that this was a good a good moment for lindsey 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 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 And I'd be okay to do this when it's 65 degrees, not when it's 94 degrees.

57:15But she does help her. And by the end, she liked doing it. They like squeeze out the tiniest bit of growth from Electra. Because she's like, Electra, where do you want to put the oregano? There. Where do you want to put the 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 who 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.

57:47That little box walking back and forth asking the lecturer where she wants to put tomatoes. So Lindsay's like, are you proud of yourself? Yeah, I guess maybe not as proud as when I won all those awards with the horse. But I guess putting oregano in the corner is pretty cool too. 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.

58:27And 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 Katsunavis and my eyebrows are thinner than anybody knew and I'm fine with it I'm living ancestrally wait a second this is in Greece so she gives them this sweet hug and she's like you guys are the most amazing family.

59:08I 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 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 hundy? 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, I love you. And Tanner's like, love you, bye. And Bridget says, dad, how dare you say I love you?

59:44Dad, 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 oregano 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. I opened it and said, fuck you, lady. Get out of my house. It was really, really sweet that she wrote that herself.

1:00:17She didn't type it, so. So then Angie comes in and she'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 um she sends sean out to grab her suitcases which i loved she's like i'm back get my suitcases so um she talks about how that felt like forever and she really sees how much how hard lindsey works and um you know how much effort she puts into it and lindsey'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 this these kids have to take a bath outside.

1:01:20And then I felt so bad for being judgy. 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 i know i know why is that is that hilarious oh god so i'm so happy for everything 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 um angie talks about this is like a wonderful experience and so many great memories and electric's growing up fast she wants to spend more time with her she just wants to focus on her family she's never gonna forget forget the the flakes yeah so lindsey is like well bring off the grids 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 That's what bugs me about Lindsay.

1:02:43Angie 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? 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.

1:03:15But every now 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 Wife of Swappa. Next week, I believe, is the Melissa Gorga episode. We'll be here for that. And we'll be back tomorrow with some Real Housewives of Orange County. Thanks so much for being with us, everybody. Bye.
