00:00I'm going to Chalice, Idaho.
00:07You're gonna die.
00:10I'm about to step into someone else's life.
00:17I can't believe I get to be a real housewife.
00:19I'm having breakfast made for me.
00:21Sounds like a vacation.
00:23Oh, no.
00:24Oh, my God.
00:25Oh, and she has a bidet.
00:27This is a whole new world for me.
00:29Oh, my God.
00:30Oh, .
00:31Have you ever gutted a fish before?
00:33No, no, no.
00:34This is where I'll shower.
00:35Yeah.
00:36I thought she's probably gonna think that I am just so vain.
00:39This kind of made me realize that.
00:53What are you doing?
00:55Cleaning.
00:56She's re-cleaning what I've already cleaned.
00:58Yeah, wait.
00:59Everything was clean.
01:00Is it, though?
01:01Am I OCD or am I just a person that has a gift of making things perfect?
01:05It's a gift most of the time.
01:08I'm Angie Katzennavis.
01:09I'm Sean.
01:10We have one daughter, Elektra, and we live here in Salt Lake City.
01:13I'm glad everyone enjoyed the movie night and I get to clean up.
01:20It takes a lot for me to keep the house running the way that it does.
01:25I love to cook.
01:26I love to keep my home perfect.
01:28I am hustling from sunup to sundown.
01:33Can I show you my trick?
01:35Set it down.
01:36Being the bossy Greek wife that I am, I find that sometimes Sean doesn't do things just the way I like it.
01:41There you go.
01:42See how beautiful.
01:43So I just get in there and do it myself so I know it's done right.
01:47There you go.
01:49Go eat your breakfast.
01:50There you go.
01:51Angie, you know, when she gives direction, you kind of start to feel like there's maybe some micromanagement that happens.
01:57Go put your sunscreen on.
01:59I did put my sunscreen on.
02:00No boys in the chapter.
02:02You've never done this before, stop.
02:04Rinse it off right away because see all the green goop in there?
02:08Some people run on the treadmill.
02:10Some people run their mouth.
02:11Look, that is why I haven't had a facelift and I look pretty good from my age.
02:15And it's just all the muscle is just being worked and talking all day.
02:18The sun last choice are very important.
02:21I've got a little bit of bags because I'm tired so I might go with something bigger.
02:26I've always loved fashion.
02:28It makes me feel expensive.
02:31Like one time I saw a bill for a $12,000 dress.
02:35Yeah, I think it was a Schiaparelli dress.
02:37I think that was kind of stupid.
02:39Electra and myself, we have a really good rapport.
02:43Are your knees touching my seat?
02:45No.
02:46She pushes boundaries with me a little bit.
02:48Hey, get off your phone.
02:49Give me your phone.
02:50No, you're being rude.
02:51I feel like I'd be closer with my mom if she would tone it down a little bit.
02:55Electra tells me to chill all the time.
02:57She's like, Mom, chill.
02:58But if I chilled the F out, our lives would probably fall apart.
03:02I love you.
03:03And we'll have our time together.
03:05I don't feel like Angie has any chill.
03:07The struggle for her is just being able to just kind of sit together, hang out as a family.
03:12For me, that's precious time.
03:14Mom, do you want to go get boba?
03:16Uh, you know what?
03:17I've got to do a bunch of laundry.
03:19I've got a couple of quick phone calls to make, too.
03:23Okay.
03:24We'll try to wait.
03:25I wish Angie would join us in that a little bit more.
03:28I'm hoping from this swap that Angie can learn it is okay to chill out.
03:32Let's go.
03:33I'm doing this swap because I don't feel Sean and Electra really appreciate me.
03:38I want them begging me back.
03:40That's what I want.
03:41Begging.
03:42Like, groveling.
03:45Cut.
03:49Let's rake this a little bit and we can plant those onions right there.
03:59Living off-grid is living in an ancestral way of life.
04:04And that is what is important to me.
04:07And then, Dad, look at this.
04:10Whoa, that is a serious mud ball, Hazel.
04:13I'm Lindsey.
04:14My name's Tanner.
04:15Hey, let's roll.
04:16Bridger is our oldest.
04:18Wyatt's our middle child.
04:19And then we have Hazel.
04:20I'm thinking soda.
04:25We ended up kind of doing the standard American dream thing and we bought a house.
04:29It was a nice house.
04:30We had running water.
04:31We had showers.
04:32We had a washer and dryer.
04:33Society has this box that they want us in.
04:38And we are definitely outside of that box now.
04:42It kind of started with I got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and going to the doctors and them wanting to just put me on a pill.
04:48Come on, Twix.
04:49I decided to eat like an anti-inflammatory diet.
04:53That led us toward this type of a lifestyle, growing our own food.
04:57And I felt instantly better.
04:59So we moved away from suburbia.
05:01Watch for snakes.
05:02Especially for wild snakes.
05:05Yep.
05:06And we are so much more fulfilled here.
05:08The closest person is probably four miles away.
05:12It takes us a good 30 minutes to get to town.
05:15We're not tied to any type of power grid at all.
05:18We have our own solar system out here.
05:20And then we have composting type of toilet.
05:24We have no running water.
05:28Oh, these ruthless little savages.
05:31We changed our mindset to having less.
05:34Where are the plants?
05:35Not my feet.
05:36Having more experiences in the dirt with our kids than buying them toys.
05:41We got some squash.
05:43I'm hoping by doing this swap, I can show another family a different way of living.
05:48Connecting to the land.
05:49Who better to teach those values to than to a real housewife?
05:53I think they probably need it the most.
05:57What do you think she's going to be like?
05:58Uh, rich and a little brat.
06:04Why?
06:05Because rich people are little brats.
06:08What if you go to some fancy house and it's amazing and you're like,
06:13why am I going back to this dump?
06:18Did you want some feta cheese?
06:23Are you not loving feta cheese anymore?
06:25I have a block of it in here.
06:27Oh my gosh.
06:28I just got a message with my location.
06:31Guys, I'm going to Chalice, Idaho.
06:35Oh, it looks beautiful.
06:37Does it?
06:38Well, it's ranch country.
06:39You're like, come a wrangler at a dude ranch.
06:41A wrangler at a dude ranch?
06:42Mm-hmm.
06:43Do you think I'd be a fit?
06:44I know you'd suck.
06:45I've been an outdoorsman myself.
06:48Her idea of roughing it is the Four Seasons.
06:51You're going to die.
06:53Who wants to find out where I'm going?
06:57Me.
06:58You found out?
06:59Welcome to Salt Lake City.
07:04Let's see if we can figure out who we think it'll be.
07:06Lisa Barlow, maybe?
07:07Lisa.
07:08Should we go pack?
07:09Yeah.
07:10You guys want to help me?
07:11I'll help you pack.
07:12I'm getting a new wife.
07:13I'm going to be like a natural fit for this place.
07:16Where in the world are my cowboy boots?
07:19Yee-haw!
07:22Can I just come with you?
07:23I want to go to some rich lady's house.
07:26You can love Mrs. Chellis, but you can't love her more than me.
07:29No.
07:30No.
07:31I can't believe I'm going on this adventure without you guys.
07:34I think my mom is cooked.
07:37I think she's cooked too.
07:41I'm coming with you.
07:42I wish you could.
07:43Bye, Mom.
07:44Bye, guys.
07:45Bye.
07:46Love you.
07:49See you guys soon.
07:50See you in a few days.
07:51Bye, Mom.
07:57Here we go.
07:58I'm nervous.
08:00It's getting real.
08:01It's kind of scary.
08:04Okay, we passed the first house I've seen for miles.
08:08Who lives out here in the middle of nowhere?
08:11Oh, is this it?
08:13Look at their view.
08:14Is it God's country or?
08:16Oh, my God.
08:17Oh, my goodness.
08:19Welcome home.
08:20Looks like an adventure.
08:32I'm definitely overdressed and underprepared.
08:36Hi.
08:37I don't want to leave this room.
08:38Steph, it's so perfect.
08:39What do I do?
08:40Do I take my shoes off, huh?
08:41Wait, I got to figure out who this is first.
08:42Is that Angie?
08:43Oh, dear.
08:44Oh, dear.
08:45This place is giving scary.
08:46Like the hills have eyes, scary.
08:47Wow.
08:48This is old.
08:49Is this my husband or a piece of art?
08:50Is this my husband or a piece of art?
08:51Is it my husband or a piece of art?
08:52You know what?
08:53Oh, my gosh.
08:55Oh, my gosh.
08:56Oh, my gosh.
08:57What do I do?
08:58What do I do?
08:59Why do I do?
09:00Oh, dear.
09:04This place is giving scary.
09:07Like, the hills have eyes, scary.
09:10Wow.
09:11This is old.
09:16Is this my husband or a piece of art?
09:21One, two, three children.
09:25Wife looks sweet.
09:26What is this?
09:32They don't want to touch buttons.
09:37What, are we killing our own meat around here?
09:42It just keeps going.
09:43Oh, this is the daughter's room.
09:46It's so fancy and so perfect.
09:49And this is a whole new world for me.
09:51Is the floor heated?
09:53How does she have this nice bathroom?
09:55Oh.
09:57Oh.
09:58It's nice to have the amenities.
10:00Oh, and she has a bidet.
10:02OK, I've never used a bidet.
10:03But I'll still be conscientious about the amount of water
10:05I use because I'm not going to abandon my values
10:08to live in this fancy house and fancy world.
10:11Oh, a bathroom.
10:15Pop socket to open the toilet.
10:18Oh, my god.
10:19Wait a minute.
10:20Is there running water here?
10:22What in the world is this?
10:26Oh, my god.
10:28There's poop in there.
10:30Oh, god.
10:31One toilet and not really having running water to that toilet.
10:36That was a little alarming.
10:39How in the hell do you flush?
10:42I have a little bidet at home and an automatic flush
10:45on my toilet.
10:45So I don't dare use the restroom for the next three days.
10:50Oh, my gosh.
10:52I wonder what she does in all these.
10:54Oh, my goodness.
10:55These glasses.
10:56I have to try these on.
10:58Oh, my gosh.
10:59What would she wear these for?
11:01Oh, we've got it.
11:01Oh, my god.
11:02This has never been happened.
11:03Wait.
11:04Little book people in her shape.
11:05Hello, my little sheep.
11:06I would wear these dirt biking or mountain biking.
11:09Who needs this many glasses?
11:11It just seems a little excessive.
11:18Are these the rules?
11:20It's so fancy.
11:23Oh.
11:24It's a scroll.
11:26Oh, my goodness.
11:28Here's a few things that I'd like an apology for.
11:31So number one.
11:33Welcome.
11:34Together with Sean, I'm handing you over my greatest treasure,
11:38my home and my family.
11:40That's sweet.
11:40I take pride in both.
11:42Welcome to my home.
11:44You might have noticed our home is unique,
11:47and we live off grid.
11:49Well, I sure did.
11:50We hit the ground running at 7 a.m.
11:52You want to be dressed and ready for your morning workout
11:54with Sean.
11:56After the gym, it's time to head to the salon.
11:58It makes me really nervous, thinking
12:01I have to get all dolled up to put myself into Angie's life,
12:05because part of our journey to move off grid
12:08was to leave this life behind of what society tells you
12:13they think is beautiful.
12:14I hope you leave with a new understanding
12:16of what peace can look like.
12:21Wow.
12:21Well, honey, I'm home.
12:26Hi.
12:26Hi.
12:28Welcome.
12:29Hi, Tanner.
12:30Hi.
12:31What's your name?
12:31I'm a hugger.
12:32My name's Angie.
12:33Oh, good.
12:33Because I'm a hugger, too.
12:34Yes.
12:36Oh, your dog is a hugger, too.
12:37Oh, sorry.
12:38Are you Bridger?
12:39Yeah.
12:39Can I give you a hug?
12:40Oh, my goodness.
12:42You hazel.
12:43Oh, my goodness.
12:44Oh, my goodness.
12:45Want to come say hi?
12:46Can I give you a hug?
12:47May I?
12:49When I first saw Angie, I thought, what the heck?
12:53Yeah, this is Twix.
12:54Nice to meet you.
12:56What is she doing out here?
12:58Oh, my goodness.
12:59You all give such great hugs.
13:01And I love your hair.
13:03Hi, there.
13:04Hi.
13:05How are you?
13:05Good.
13:06I'm Lizzie.
13:07Nice to meet you.
13:08Yeah.
13:08Nice to meet you.
13:08This is Electra.
13:09Hello.
13:10Electra.
13:10Nice to meet you.
13:11It looks like you've met Celia.
13:12Yes, she's Celia.
13:13And this is Faust.
13:16She definitely has a granola, outdoorsy kind of vibe.
13:19I think Lindsay's a VIP at REI.
13:23I'm sorry.
13:23I, like, snooped in your house.
13:25Oh, that's OK.
13:25And walked around.
13:26That's OK.
13:26I love your room.
13:28It's nicer than my whole house.
13:32Oh, is that my room?
13:33This is your room, the master suite.
13:36Oh, can I get comfortable and just put on some sneakers
13:39and take my heels off?
13:41OK, let's do that.
13:43So are you guys ranchers?
13:45We bought a cabin to homestead it.
13:47What is homesteading?
13:48We're homesteading, so like, we're
13:49going to grow our own food, have our own animals,
13:52and so we don't even have running water.
13:53Oh, gotcha.
13:54So your mom is not going to have running water.
13:57That's going to be interesting, huh?
13:59I think she's going to want to come home.
14:07You ready?
14:07Are you going to tour the house?
14:08Yes, I want to see your property.
14:10There's so much of it.
14:11This is our main heat source, big wood stove.
14:14Wow.
14:14That was a tough one.
14:17And where do we get this water from?
14:19From our spring.
14:20The spring is all the way down the hill.
14:22We have to go and get five-gallon buckets
14:24and carry them up here and fill this up.
14:25And this is 50 gallons, so it takes a while.
14:28I'm wondering why Tanner and Lindsay made this choice
14:31for their family.
14:33It is extreme.
14:34Oh, is this another way outside?
14:36Yeah.
14:36Okay, show me the way.
14:37I better get my sunglasses on.
14:39So is this all your property?
14:41Yeah.
14:42Tanner, where do I shower here?
14:43This is the tub.
14:46The tub.
14:47Wow.
14:48All of the kids shower.
14:50What?
14:54Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
14:56So will I?
14:58This is where I'll shower and wash my hair?
15:00Yeah?
15:13This is where I'll shower and wash my hair?
15:15Yeah?
15:16It's kind of the only option.
15:17Why don't you go to the hot springs?
15:23I'm used to a nice, big, beautiful shower.
15:28It's amazing.
15:31Wow.
15:32Let's go show Angie a little piece
15:35of our paradise up the road.
15:37Do you feel OK?
15:38Oh, yeah.
15:39I'm ready.
15:40OK, buckle up, guys.
15:42I won't go too fast.
15:46Oh, wow.
15:48It's beautiful.
15:49Yeah, 360 degree views.
15:51Yes, it is.
15:53Woo!
15:54You're a good driver.
15:55You're a good leader for us.
15:56Yeah, good job here.
15:57Good job driving, Bridger.
15:59Look at this, you guys.
16:00Can you believe you live up here?
16:03Hazel, pick her a whole bunch.
16:05Oh my goodness.
16:08That is so beautiful.
16:11That's my...
16:12I loved being needed as a mother.
16:14Those are the best years of my life,
16:16is like being on the ground with my daughter
16:17and bonding with her.
16:19Oh, there's deer poop.
16:20Just being back in this environment
16:22with small children that want my attention,
16:24it feels really good.
16:25I love how Hazel loves you already.
16:28Oh, I'm so happy.
16:29And that is such a like,
16:30take that as a big compliment.
16:32I've got a teenager at home
16:34and she's, you know, pulling away a bit.
16:37And these kids wanting me to play with them
16:40or hang out with them, it's fun.
16:41And you miss those days and it's short lived.
16:44Coming here is so opposite of my life on the daily.
16:48I mean, you guys are so off grid.
16:50What was that pivotal moment for you guys
16:53that you just said, let's pack it up and let's do it?
16:55Lindsay had gotten diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
16:59Wow.
17:00And so she learned she would need to make major diet changes.
17:06And that's a big reason why we like to grow our own food
17:09and live here so that we can come up here and hunt.
17:11Like where we're sitting right now is amazing hunting ground.
17:15Wow.
17:16Talking to Tanner,
17:18it's helped me wrap my head around their lifestyle more.
17:22Oh, hey, little girl.
17:23Oh, that's a pretty, oh my goodness.
17:27But it wouldn't hurt if there was a Prada
17:29within driving distance.
17:31Look out for snakes.
17:32Famous last words.
17:34Are there a lot of snakes up here?
17:36There's a fair amount.
17:37Oh, no.
17:42What do I need to do?
17:43Cleaning.
17:44I don't care if my clothes are wrinkled at home.
18:00I mean, I'm not going to take up my electricity to do this.
18:03I had no idea he was in it.
18:05It has got such a good cast.
18:07Yeah, it does.
18:08I don't know how to open the dishwasher.
18:10Oh, yes.
18:10I'm sorry.
18:11Knock on it twice like you're knocking on a door.
18:18Hi.
18:18It's beautiful, but it's like, why do you need it?
18:21I feel sad for Angie.
18:23Like, cleaning her glasses is more important
18:26than sitting on the couch with their family.
18:29That's just crazy.
18:30Hey, I will come check you.
18:33Good morning.
18:34Dinner's ready.
18:38Tell me about this, Tanner.
18:41This is the whole tale of a cow.
18:45Right.
18:46Holy.
18:49Well, bon appetit, everyone.
18:56We'll say it the Idaho way.
18:57Bon appetit.
19:02Wow.
19:03What a good girl.
19:05You got to try some, too.
19:09It's kind of eating around the tail, though.
19:13It's gritty and fatty and chewy.
19:17Yeah, so do you guys get out much for dinner, or?
19:20I mean, we haven't been able to a whole lot.
19:23It's organic.
19:23That's the good part.
19:25It's got a unique texture.
19:26I'm not sure how to describe it.
19:33We're pet brothel center now.
19:36Is it time to get in your pajamas?
19:38Oh!
19:39No.
19:39The children are darling, very sweet and loving.
19:42Hazel wants my attention, which I love.
19:44Like, you're having fun with me.
19:45Yeah.
19:47I haven't had a shower.
19:48There is no dishwasher.
19:50There is no washing machine.
19:53And there is no running water.
19:56Sweet dreams.
19:58Yeah, I will be holding my number.
20:08Morning of day two, everyone's still asleep.
20:12This is how I like to start my day.
20:14Oh, good.
20:15I see a big, pink, shiny thing walking around down on the property.
20:19And that must be Angela.
20:27Is that a bug?
20:32Maybe more natural.
20:33I don't really get manicures.
20:35Does your mom get her nails done like this a lot?
20:37Yeah. Yeah.
20:42Pretty.
20:43Okay.
20:44Okay.
20:45Okay.
20:46Okay.
20:47I haven't been in a gym for a while because my life is a gym constantly.
20:53Make sure you bring the sunglasses.
20:55How do they look?
20:56They work.
20:57Okay.
21:01Can you show me where the water is so I can do dishes?
21:03So this is the pump and it pulls the water from here?
21:07Mm-hmm.
21:08Okay.
21:09So the water is running now.
21:10Now you just put the hose in here and fill it up.
21:13Okay.
21:14I thought this was going to be easy.
21:16I know.
21:17My workout is like hauling my five gallons of water.
21:21Farm girl .
21:22Yeah.
21:23Okay.
21:24Okay.
21:25Okay.
21:26And we're back on the bikes one more time.
21:28Here I am trying to talk now.
21:30Thanks so much.
21:31Angie can bike and talk at the same time.
21:38Woo.
21:39Hauling water from the bottom of the hill and into the kitchen.
21:43Oh .
21:44It's made me think twice about wanting to even brush my teeth.
21:47Woo.
21:48It's like water's a luxury.
21:50High five, bud.
21:51We did it.
21:52High five.
21:59Is that temperature okay?
22:00Yep.
22:04I check my hair daily for ticks.
22:06I'm paranoid about them.
22:13Okay.
22:14I'm a little dizzy now.
22:15Whoa.
22:16Whoa.
22:17It's a nice little change.
22:19Yeah.
22:20That's so not who I am.
22:22Now I get to do yours.
22:23Yeah, right?
22:24The shade?
22:25Yeah.
22:28What are we going to do now?
22:29Change the toilet.
22:33You want me to change the toilet?
22:35Like take the bag out?
22:37Oh my goodness.
22:39Mommy does it.
22:40Mommy changes the toilet?
22:41Oh my god.
22:42Oh my god.
22:43Oh my god.
22:44Oh my god.
22:45Oh my god.
22:46I'm going to hurl.
22:47Oh my god.
22:48Oh my god.
22:49This poop is stinky.
22:51Oh my god, oh my god, this boat was stinky.
23:02Oh my gosh, very humbling moment.
23:11OK, Hazel, one chore down.
23:13As a mother, there's a lot of dirty jobs
23:15that come along with keeping up the household.
23:17But this is, it's a lot.
23:19Good job, guys.
23:20Toilet, check.
23:23Oh .
23:28We've been in Angie's life,
23:30and you know it's time to switch things up.
23:33It's so important to me to be connected to nature.
23:37Love it.
23:38And we're going to have a fun night off grid.
23:43Really?
23:44Yes, completely off grid.
23:46Like out in the hills.
23:49In your backyard.
23:52So no showers.
23:53Our phones will be inside all night long.
23:55Are we, like, actually, like, staying out there all night?
23:59Yeah.
24:00I'm excited.
24:02Let's go to the hot springs.
24:05This is it.
24:06Yeah, this is going to be fun.
24:12I don't know how many people have wore their Louis Vuitton sandals down to these hot springs.
24:16Okay, guys.
24:17Since we're going to switch to my rolls, guess what we're going to do?
24:20We're going out to eat.
24:22Woo-hoo!
24:23Sound good?
24:24The little nibble of oxtail that I took last night, out of obligation, didn't really cut it.
24:31So I went to bed hungry.
24:33Can we do a drink?
24:34At the sawmill station?
24:35You can get any drink you want.
24:36At the...
24:37We've never, ever, ever ordered a dessert.
24:42Are you saying Tanner?
24:43Never.
24:44Really?
24:45That's true.
24:46I'm strict with my daughter at home.
24:49But Electra knows when we go out to a restaurant, she orders a Shirley Temple, and she gets ice cream for dessert.
24:55I see that they eat really healthy, but we have to live a little.
24:59One dessert in your life?
25:05I'm back.
25:10Hey, guys.
25:11I need help setting up tents.
25:16Okay.
25:17And you chop wood.
25:18Sounds good.
25:19How do you want these to go?
25:21Probably next to each other, away from the fire.
25:24Fire?
25:25You going to start us our fire tonight?
25:27Maybe.
25:34Hope, can I put this inside?
25:36You don't need a screen in front of your face all the time.
25:39You need the sun on your face.
25:41You need adventure.
25:43She is not my thing.
25:46Like, we're actually, like, sleeping on here.
25:48We're not going to fit.
25:49I don't want to be self-sustaining.
25:53I might sink in in the middle of the night.
25:58Bam!
25:59I got a chicken sandwich.
26:01Those are giant chips.
26:02Right here, thank you.
26:03There we go.
26:04Guys, this looks so good.
26:05Wait, we have an extra...
26:06Oh.
26:07My.
26:08God.
26:12It's like you've never seen a milkshake in your life.
26:15Whoa.
26:17I love your excitement.
26:18That was so good.
26:19Yes.
26:21I know.
26:22Oh, that looks so good.
26:23That looks amazing.
26:24So bad for your body, but they're yummy.
26:27Yeah.
26:28Cheers, guys.
26:29What a fun day.
26:30What a fun day.
26:31I hope you're having fun because we're still going by my rules for the next 24 hours.
26:36So I need you, Tanner, to call Nana to come and watch the kids tonight so Tanner can take me out.
26:45This off-grid life is a bit extreme, and it's a lot of work, but the tomatoes will still be there.
26:51The compost toilet will still be there.
26:53None of this is going away.
26:55So I think it's important for Tanner to get out and get off the property and have some new experiences.
27:04What do you think?
27:05You guys good with that?
27:06No.
27:08No.
27:09Dad, you're already married.
27:10You cheating on Mom?
27:12Oh, wait.
27:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
27:14You barely...
27:15No.
27:16Oh.
27:17No, I won't be cheating on Mom.
27:24Do you guys like fish?
27:25Yeah.
27:26Yes.
27:27Have you ever gutted the fish before?
27:28No.
27:29Okay.
27:30You turn it upside down, right in front of the fin, and you want to go all the way up to the tip of that gill right there.
27:38Going old school here.
27:41And you grab it.
27:43You got spooched.
27:44I'm dying.
27:45We'll wash those.
27:46What is she doing?
27:58Is she skinning a chicken?
28:01Oh, my God.
28:02Mary.
28:03Come and meet my new wife.
28:08No, no, no.
28:09No, no, no.
28:10That's what we're doing?
28:11We're learning how to gut fish.
28:14No!
28:15We're learning how to gut fish.
28:17No!
28:18We're learning how to gut fish.
28:21No!
28:22We're learning how to gut fish.
28:26No!
28:27So we just gutted it.
28:36I don't need to see my fish gutted.
28:39I don't need to see the babies.
28:40I don't need to see the placenta.
28:42Are you coming for dinner?
28:44Mm-mm.
28:45You're gutting the next one, I hear.
28:47No.
28:48You don't like red snapper?
28:49Yeah, I love red snapper, but I don't.
28:52No, no, no.
28:53What happens if you have to do it yourself, though?
28:55I just pray to God I don't ever have to do it.
28:57Is Angie doing this?
28:59I mean, if they go fishing, maybe.
29:01She's off-grid.
29:04We hunt for our food.
29:05We have no running water.
29:07Oh, really?
29:08It's so fun!
29:09I think we need to go rescue her.
29:12I just pray that she gets back in one whole piece.
29:15So how are you feeling?
29:16Are you okay?
29:17My dad's enjoying this off-gridness.
29:19I don't know why.
29:21I'm hoping Angie learns to appreciate what she does have
29:25and, like, live in the moment.
29:27Because you are not appreciating no jungle.
29:29Come on, she's going with me.
29:30I know, I know.
29:31Okay, all right.
29:39You look like a little shape,
29:41or a little glam or something.
29:43Okay.
29:44I'm in love with Hazel.
29:45She loves all things girly, so that's fun for me.
29:48What would you like done with your hair today?
29:50Braids.
29:51You want braids?
29:52Electra once wanted me to do her nails and do her hair,
29:55so I'm just in heaven right now.
30:01So, how do you think Angie and Tanner are doing?
30:04That's the question.
30:05I know.
30:06That's been on my mind for the last several hours.
30:09Did you get a chance to read the letter?
30:11I haven't read the letter yet.
30:12Oh, dang.
30:13Yeah, you should read it.
30:14There was a part of it that she had mentioned
30:17all the work it takes going into the house
30:19and sometimes not being seen and appreciated.
30:22I'm not sure they understand what it takes for me
30:25to keep it all together at the level I do.
30:30Just the constant upkeep.
30:32Yeah.
30:33You know, I think there could be a lot of pressure in that.
30:36Yeah.
30:37Maybe, like, she feels she go, go, goes all day.
30:39Right.
30:40And there's all this thing she does for her family
30:42and she does it out of love because...
30:44Right.
30:45Isn't that what we do as wives and mothers?
30:46It is work.
30:47It just seems like Angie's all put together all the time.
30:51I couldn't imagine how exhausting that would be on top of all my other duties as a mom.
30:58You have to open my eyes up a little bit now.
31:02Something that's going to be on my mind from this experience.
31:06I definitely think Angie's nagging and perfectionism comes from a good place.
31:11Come have a seat.
31:12And I need to get better at letting her know that she is seen.
31:16And she is the backbone to this family.
31:19Faust, oh my God.
31:20Faust.
31:21Faust.
31:22He's out.
31:23He's marking his territory.
31:25You better call your tempers.
31:28You better get it.
31:29I said so much you didn't ask.
31:32What?
31:33Well, he probably peed in there.
31:34Come here, Fausty.
31:35Where did he pee?
31:36Okay, buh-bye.
31:46I got to retrain Sean.
31:47I could get used to this.
31:49Thanks.
31:50Go ahead.
31:51After you.
31:52Angie is the fanciest thing to walk in that place in a long time.
32:03Do you think we could steal a chair from you, bud?
32:05Come on.
32:06Go.
32:07Not one of those people said, is that a Givenchy boot?
32:11What are you going to have?
32:13I feel like it's appropriate to do a whiskey.
32:15Okay.
32:16I'll do a whiskey also.
32:17It was kind of a waste of money, honestly.
32:18I could have gone to Walmart, and I didn't.
32:22You're welcome.
32:23Well, cheers.
32:24Mom and Dad's night out.
32:25Wait.
32:26What's the Greek?
32:27Oh, yamas.
32:28To your health.
32:29Yeah.
32:30To your health.
32:31Yamas.
32:32Look, Tanner and I, we kind of need to let our hair down.
32:37And I say that with all due respect, because Tanner doesn't have hair.
32:41Can you spin me?
32:42Okay.
32:43All right.
32:44And then what?
32:45I don't know.
32:46When you live out where we live, you almost forget what city life is like.
32:52You're the kind of.
32:53Hey.
32:54Hey.
32:55Hey.
32:56Hey.
32:57One of the things that Angie is showing me is that it's okay to take time away, get back on the grid.
33:04You don't need this, do you?
33:06And go and enjoy that time being plugged in.
33:10But yeah, I do need to take my wife country dancing one of these days.
33:14I have to pick that up with my mouth.
33:16I guess.
33:17My mouth ain't going to fit on that.
33:25Great cowgirl.
33:26Where did you come from?
33:28I love this stuff.
33:34Where did you guys sleep last night?
33:41We ended up inside.
33:44We've been trying to sleep now for about an hour and it's not really working.
33:56Good night.
33:57If I'm being honest, the tent's a little small, there's no pads.
34:00Like I also didn't want to stay out all night, if I'm being honest, so.
34:05How amazing would it be to build your own garden here at your house?
34:08I could get into that.
34:09So we're going to do that today with Electra.
34:12Okay.
34:14I kind of feel like my mom's not going to use that garden.
34:16I kind of feel like she's still going to like buy processed foods, but like it's fine.
34:20So we'll see how this goes.
34:23Oh, hi guys.
34:25Hi.
34:26Are you going to help me?
34:27Yeah.
34:28Let me give you guys a little present so you can remember me when I go, okay?
34:31These have the Greek flag on them.
34:37What do you think?
34:38Want to try them on?
34:39Sure.
34:41They look so cool on you.
34:43And you can still see through them, right?
34:45Mm-hmm.
34:47Oh my goodness.
34:48They look cool on you too.
34:52Is this a good size for your house, do you think?
34:54I think it's perfect.
34:55Thanks.
34:56Perfect.
34:59I would be okay to do this activity that's 65 degrees, not when it's 94.
35:05Want to help us dump dirt?
35:10Not a girl.
35:13And let's have you design the garden.
35:15What do you think about Pepper?
35:16What do you want that, hun?
35:17Maybe like here.
35:19Are we sure we put the tomatoes over there?
35:21The tomatoes over here?
35:22Yeah.
35:24Maybe we put oregano here.
35:26Nice.
35:28Good job.
35:30Planting a garden.
35:31It wasn't that bad.
35:32Wait, Dad, can you dig this one over here?
35:33Yes.
35:34But I'm feeling very hot right now.
35:37After this, we are going inside and having a popsicle.
35:39That sounds amazing.
35:40I was just so surprised at how disconnected they are from nature.
35:46Their house is so big and then you just have this tiny little patch of green in the back.
35:51And now that they have this garden, maybe they can spend more time out there.
35:56I'm going to run these back to the toolbox.
35:58Okay.
36:01How does it make you feel now that it's all done and you helped with it?
36:04I think it's cool.
36:06Are you proud of yourself?
36:07Yeah.
36:08Cool.
36:09Now you guys have a whole meal right here in a couple months.
36:12Yeah.
36:14It was so fun.
36:15I had the best time.
36:17Hazel, are you going to miss her?
36:20Is that edible?
36:21Like everything else out here?
36:22I didn't know this experience would be such a blessing.
36:26Like showing up in like my heels and my miniskirt and look at all high body count.
36:32And the kids are probably like, oh gosh, who is this lady?
36:41And then just spending time with them and seeing how hard they were just to live in nature.
36:48And just they're thinking about resources, which we all take for granted.
36:52You guys are the most amazing family.
36:55I've learned a lot from you guys.
36:57Like you think that your way is the right way.
36:59And I learned this weekend that there's no right way.
37:01Just whatever works for your family.
37:03Well, we learned a lot from you too.
37:05I'm leaving a better person than I was when I came.
37:09Like I'm standing here bare face.
37:12And not worrying about like, what if my skin doesn't look good?
37:16Or what if you can see wrinkles under my eyes?
37:19It's kind of like you just, who cares?
37:21Like you let it go.
37:23And it felt good to just let it go.
37:30Oh, Hazel might try and crawl in there with you.
37:33Okay.
37:34All right.
37:35Thanks for everything.
37:37We're so different.
37:39But, uh, so similar.
37:43Bye guys. Love ya.
37:44Just interesting because we hardly know each other.
37:46But she's just been very open to my thoughts and feelings.
37:54And sometimes that's, that's all like anyone really needs.
37:58Bye. Love you.
37:59Love you.
38:00Love you guys.
38:02She's hanging out the door.
38:04How dare you say love you.
38:06What? Love her like a friend, man.
38:10Your lifestyle is really humbling.
38:13And then these kids have to take a bath outside.
38:15And it made me feel sad.
38:18I felt guilty that I even thought.
38:19I know a lecture's at school, so give her a big hug for me and tell her bye.
38:34I will.
38:35Oh my God, it's you.
38:42What's going on?
38:43How are you?
38:44Come and meet my new wife.
38:45Hi.
38:46I know you from everybody else.
38:48Oh my gosh.
38:50How are my kids?
38:51I love your kids.
38:53Oh good.
38:54I love your daughter.
38:55She's amazing.
38:56And John was so nice.
38:57Oh God.
38:58What in the world is going on out there?
39:01Have we moved outside?
39:02We have.
39:03Is this my new primary?
39:06Since my swap sons are not here, I'm going to need you to go grab my suitcases.
39:11Where are they?
39:12Man, having those strong boys.
39:13Out front?
39:14Yeah, they're right out front.
39:15It's so crazy because I feel like I haven't been here forever.
39:18Oh.
39:19And I think part of that is just living your life.
39:22And after seeing your to-do list and seeing what Tanner does, you guys work really hard on your property.
39:27Yeah, this is like the dream we want.
39:30All that other stuff was just distractions for us.
39:33Your lifestyle is really humbling.
39:36And then I thought when I pulled up, like, oh, these guys, these kids have to take a bath outside.
39:42And it made me feel sad.
39:44But then when I saw that you guys have everything.
39:49It's beautiful.
39:50It's beautiful.
39:51And I felt some-
39:52I think I just saw that.
39:53I felt guilty.
39:54Yeah, I did.
39:55I'm sorry for even saying it.
39:57I felt-
39:58No.
39:59Like, I felt guilty that I even thought that.
40:01It's okay.
40:02I thought I'd be laying poolside drinking margaritas or something.
40:06And then I get here and the cameras and having to be on all the time.
40:10I thought it'd be easy.
40:12So I'm sorry.
40:13My biggest thing is I just want to connect more.
40:15Yeah.
40:16Just as a family.
40:17Because that's what's most important.
40:20It's strange that you have to go so far away from your own life.
40:24I know.
40:25To see it.
40:26Yeah.
40:27To have this experience.
40:28So thank you.
40:30Swapping lives with someone else.
40:31I felt like I went back in time and was reminded of what's important in life.
40:42It's the moments.
40:43It's the memories.
40:44And Electra's growing up so fast.
40:47And I want to spend as much time as I can with her.
40:50I will never forget your family.
40:51I will never forget yours.
40:53Being off-grid, it's hard doing what we do.
40:55You know, I've had days crying and thinking like, what the hell did we get ourselves into?
41:02And doing the wife swap, I realized I was able to be able to show another family a different way of living to bring happiness into their life.
41:14Okay, can we talk about this for a second?
41:16Oh my God.
41:17Is that what you brought?
41:19This is my bag.
41:20Your family must have been horrified when they saw all my stuff.
41:24Well, this says it all.
41:26As much as I love Chelsea, Idaho, I am a city girl.
41:29Lindsay, thank you.
41:30It's so nice to meet you.
41:32It's so nice to meet you.
41:33Angie Kaye is back on the grid.
41:35Wow.

41:52It's gross, but it's done.
