Drama, Darling Drama, Darling Drama, Darling. Oh well there, hello
0:21
there, hello, hello everybody, and happy Tuesday. Emily and I are
0:26
here. If you are joining us right now in the YouTube live stream,
0:31
you will notice that we are donned in some buying Beverly Hills apparel. Some
0:38
are is real merch, some might be knockoffs. You be the judge,
0:46
Thank you, thank you. Amy's had a fake? No, how dare
0:51
you? How? Okay, let's walk through this, okay. One one
0:57
day years ago, I was ranting and raving on serious XM Radio. Andy
1:03
Reality checked Amy's virgin and I was like, oh gosh, I really need
1:11
to get my hands on that agency hat because I was taking notice that in
1:15
every scene, and this was years ago, that that Mauricio would always be
1:19
wearing an agency hat. And then, you know, I just I needed
1:22
to have it, and so I didn't know how to get one. One
1:25
of the listeners sent me one. That's great, Now I want one.
1:30
I know, we got to get our hands on some more. I feel
1:33
like I would imagine that we can probably buy them. At this point,
1:38
I think I know where we could get them, and that's at see And
1:46
then Amy texted me five minutes before and the show and is like, let's
1:49
stress as realtors, and I was like, yes, please, Yeah,
1:52
we're both wearing blazers. I actually thought you were probably already dressed as a
1:57
realtor. You know, I just had a feeling that you might have already
2:00
been. So I don't know what current current realtor is so cool, Like
2:07
I don't. Yeah, you know when I said that, I knew you'd
2:09
know what I meant that it'd be like a blazer, which is exactly what
2:14
you're wearing now. Emily is wearing a BZP hat, so she did not
2:23
get it from there. From the area at the agency where they're doing this
2:27
is unofficial. I'm going to just put it out there. Yeah, but
2:30
listen, I'm sure they appreciate that. Nonetheless, they might want to,
2:35
in fact use your branding because it's so great. Well, it seems like
2:39
they have a lot of time around the office to write on post it notes
2:43
and tape it to things, so I encourage them to try this. I
2:46
love the hazing. Yeah, so you are. BZP is a like a
2:53
group of two with one intern. They would have made us think if Ben
2:57
hadn't have pointed that out. We would have thought it was three because I
3:00
thought it was three people, but apparently it's two with one intern. Yeah,
3:02
yeah, that's I'm also confused. And any realtors in the among the
3:09
darlings, like the whole concept of everybody being so competitive but also still working
3:15
within earshot in an open space is so confusing to me, right, right,
3:22
and also under the same umbrella. So right, it is interesting and
3:27
and and everyone has a team or a group. I mean, Emily,
3:30
do you have a team or a group that I don't know about here on
3:34
Drama Darlings? What is your Yeah? What is Angela? Angela and I
3:38
have a team damn for the A and E's And then I often partner with
3:43
Deanna. Oh god, it's sick too. Yeah, it's already too many.
3:46
And then I mean, I guess you know, the drama darling original
3:52
uh would be you and I, and then then there's also you and me
3:57
and Deanna. But there's also me and you and d oh my god,
4:01
we have so many groups and we're all so competitive with each other, right,
4:05
I've unfollowed Jamie. Of course, she's going to be very offended because
4:11
you know, I mean, she takes social media very seriously, so needless
4:17
to say, you guys, thank you so much for joining. I see
4:20
some people over here on the live stream excited to see you, and we
4:28
do have buying Beverly Hill's recap for you. Today. We are going to
4:31
be covering the first three episodes because there are they dropped what ten twelve?
4:38
How many? Yeah? Ten? Okay, so they're all out, I
4:42
think, unless I think that's it right, ten episodes, yeah, I
4:46
you know, and we I thought they'd be coming out weekly, and I'm
4:50
a little annoyed that. You know, it's very Netflix. You know,
4:54
they just they know what everybody wants. They want people want to binge,
4:59
and that's what they do. They just throw it all out there. But
5:01
they've been trying to find weekly programming that people will not cancel their subscription when
5:09
they're done. And I'm like, we are trained to watch this show weekly.
5:13
Just give it to us weekly. Yeah yeah, well, like like
5:18
Bakeoff is weekly? Like I don't know, I now, so they would
5:23
tune in for Emily's rundown of What's weekly? Hey, everybody, it's Emily
5:30
weekly and can't see your TV Guide subscription? Jeers to Netflix for releasing cheers
5:42
all at once, and it cheers to Netflix for weekly releasing. Bakeoff,
5:49
and that's all the shows that release weekly. Good good, good job,
5:53
good job, Emily. So we'll be doing the first three episodes and we're
5:57
gonna save some for next week. You know, we'll do some next week.
6:00
So yeah, we'll maybe do three, three and three. I mean,
6:03
I do love this show, so I'm I am going to just burn
6:09
through it. It's so good, like, yeah, it really is great.
6:14
I love I love Kyle's and Moe's daughters so much. I know,
6:18
and Sarah I count her as one of the girls, right, but I
6:23
mean she has a different dad, so I don't want to disrespect him,
6:25
right, right, right, but also their daughter, I mean that is
6:28
the yeah, yeah right, I don't know, you know, like,
6:30
yes, I know what you're saying. You're trying to make sure not to
6:33
disrespect her father, right and just be like, oh, it's Moe's kid,
6:38
you know, that's it, right, there's no other that's very respectful.
6:42
And Fari's dad's a darling. I don't want to know he is.
6:45
He's in the chat right now. Well, before we get into that,
6:53
we have some and on that note, What a crossover piece of news.
7:00
So Our Automatics bought a one point two million dollar house in the Hollywood at
7:05
Alls and guess who sold it? Tour Ben Ben Ben Bailek. Yeah,
7:12
oh I thought we were going to get to guess Oh sorry, guess who
7:18
Ben Bitlick. You're dropping, You're dropping answers faster than Netflix is putting on
7:24
episodes. Look at yes, this is me. This is me and my
7:27
realtor Era. You know, don't don't dead, don't step to the red
7:32
blazered fireball, the agency, the agency's newest realtor. I mean truly,
7:42
I could be look, I do impressions. So I think I've found my
7:46
new calling. Move over, Zack. I'm like, oh my gosh,
7:50
yeah that the loose anyway, go ahead, right sorry? Okay, So
7:57
our Automatics bought a new house. Can gratulations to Ben for this, and
8:03
my gosh, it's uh it's quite the uh Hollywood Hills. Imagine this is
8:11
I don't know if you saw pictures of it, but it is quite the
8:16
mid Okay, so it's basically an views of the Hollywood Sign and beyond this
8:22
mid century modern Yeah. Yeah, uh has just undergone a complete renovation.
8:28
The main level is open with the living room and dedicated dining era area seamlessly
8:35
connecting to a kitchen with stainless appliances and brass finishes. The second level is
8:41
dedicated to a generously sized primary suite. Well you get the idea. Blah
8:48
blah blah blah. It's gorgeous California. Oh, it is gorgeous California.
8:52
It's like Villa Blanca wearing sunglasses. So I kind of like a sporty Villa
8:58
Blanca. It can be located to Mulholland, Runyon Canyon, the Hollywood Bowl,
9:05
the studios. I mean, it's right in the heart. So remember
9:09
how Ariana's like. I mean, you guys are not like making millions of
9:11
dollars Like, you guys are crazy. Uh, you've been checked. You
9:16
have been checked, and you just straight out probably just bought this you know,
9:22
cash offer, you know only well, I mean thirty days close,
9:28
yeah, boom, locked it in. I'm a little worried about pending lawsuits,
9:33
but you know, like like I don't know if this is the time
9:39
that you want to be flashing your asses, your assets. Yeah, well,
9:43
listen, she's got a move, you know what I mean. Yeah,
9:48
yeah, I know there's also rental opportunities. So I guess like,
9:52
in some ways I get it. In some ways I don't. But I
9:56
guess, like with this pending lawsuit with Rach, I'm kind of like it
10:01
is a little scary. I agree. However, one point two million is
10:07
is that the I thought it was one point six? Okay, so one
10:11
point six. You know, it's not that high of a price, Like
10:16
if it was two or over, I'd be like, that's crazy. But
10:18
I mean you're talking like the window between an eight hundred thousand dollars house and
10:24
a one point six million dollar it's not that big. So I mean it's
10:28
actually been a beast price for where she is and the resale value and everything.
10:33
So you know her house right now with Tom that was over a million
10:37
dollars and cently this is in the hills, which you'd think would be That's
10:41
what I was confused by the price I thought it was. I mean,
10:45
it's still it sounds crazy when you're not in LA but to me, I
10:48
thought like I would think that was like a three million dollar house. I
10:52
agree, and it is. I mean it's completely redone so it does.
10:56
Maybe she got it at auction. I don't know. Oh yeah, there
11:01
you go. But I think we would know that though you think they who
11:05
would say yeah. I feel like, yeah, we would know. Well,
11:09
I'm happy for Ariana. It is that typical like Hollywood box you know,
11:16
it's the style I don't like. I am not a fan of that
11:18
at all. And you're with you, Oh, well, we're going to
11:22
have a field day because that's all they show for the most part on these
11:26
shows. And like when we've talked about, you know, selling Sunset and
11:31
obviously million dollar listing. Million dollar listing has so much more variety in LA
11:37
which is nice, but like, these Hollywood houses are just for shit.
11:41
I'm just not a fan. There's no warmth there, just anyway. We'll
11:46
get into that. But yeah, we'll get into it. So that's the
11:50
news on that. So congratulations to Ariana and her new home. And I
11:54
guess we'll find out what they're going to do with their house that they co
11:58
own together and see if she allowed Tom to buy her out, because that
12:05
was not spoken to. Oh you know what I was gonna say. I
12:07
wonder if this storyline will be on the next season of Buying Beverly Hills.
12:13
I mean, I can't imagine it wouldn't be because they could be shooting right
12:16
now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good idea. So yeah, okay,
12:22
thank you BZP and all their news. I am seeing all over the
12:26
internet in certain places that Eileen Davidson is reportedly and talks to rejoin Beverly Hills.
12:35
Oh wow, yeah, I have not seen that really, so yeah,
12:41
I don't know. And people are like, oh, we are so
12:43
ready, and I'm like, are we Like, is that really the shakeup
12:46
that you're looking for? I mean, Eileen's great a stand up gal,
12:52
but not the shakeup or you know, I don't think it's going to be
12:56
the thing that's going to resuscitate or cause any commotion in the world. I've
13:01
been seeing Rina's coming back. Oh god no. She just sat on a
13:05
TV show the other day when she was asked, would you ever go back,
13:09
and she'said, no, never. That's a negotiation, baby, that's
13:13
her saying, raise the price. Yeah, you're right, she would come
13:18
back for the right amount of money. Okay. Also in the news because
13:22
now we're watching Buying Beverly Hills. It's everywhere and comments by Bravo picked up
13:31
this story of Morgan posting something and she's in a cowboy hat or shall I
13:37
say cowgirl hat? Let's not be a misogynist, and Kyle commented, save
13:43
a horse ride a cowgirl? You saw that? Nuts about well what do
13:50
you expect? I like how we're all like, I'm just so done with
13:56
it, Like I don't even care anymore. It's like analyzing a comment for
14:01
forty eight hours straight. We're like, oh my god, I know,
14:05
I know, yeah, we can't let it go. But that is you
14:09
know, I'm sure it's an inside joke. I'm sure it's something funny they've
14:13
talked about, but it reads because they are fucking yeah. It reads that
14:18
like we're doing it, guys, we are doing it, and here's the
14:22
proof. Yeah, the proof is in the uh the hat. Yeah.
14:30
Okay. In other Beverly Hills news, you know, Emily alerted me to
14:33
this live instagram that happened the other day, which I scrolled right on by.
14:39
I didn't turn the volume. I wasn't like volume up because I didn't
14:41
feel like volume up was needed. But it was Sutton and it was Kathy
14:46
Hilton and they were out and Emily why don't you take the lead on the
14:50
story. Well, I also watched it first without volume, and I thought
14:56
that the gentleman that comes in at the end I thought was brit love interest.
15:01
That the British guy with the with the nice car that they sit in
15:05
the car. Yeah, yeah, it's not important. You just kind of
15:07
have a vague idea of what he looks like. And then I saw like
15:13
Queen's a Bravo or somebody was like Sutton's new boy Kathy introduces because I guess
15:16
she's a gatekeeper now for relationships, because it felt very similar to like,
15:20
not that we hadn't seen Morgan before, but like when Kyle and Morgan showed
15:24
up, it felt very official on Kathy's Instagram. And so it turns out
15:30
this is Sutton's boyfriend, and I was shocked because he looks kind of like
15:39
Craig. To me, it looks like Craig or a young Andy Cohen.
15:46
It just doesn't. It's weird. It's weird. It it has just a
15:52
slight whiff of grifter. But the thing is, like, I also feel
15:56
like Sutton just she in her heart likes to be ancient, like she she's
16:03
not young at heart. If you will an old soul, because if it
16:10
was like Erica, I wouldn't think anything of it. I would be like,
16:14
yeah, I go, you know, but this Sutton's not looking to
16:18
keep up with a puppy, you know what I mean? So I just
16:23
think, God, you'll give her a run for her money, literally and
16:27
figuratively. Yeah, when he steals all of it, I joke allegedly,
16:34
No, you know, he might be along for the ride, and and
16:38
and who knows. We just we worry about our wealthy women and people taking
16:42
advantage of them. It's a tales oldest time we've seen it. Probably Netflix
16:48
just dropped a whole other series just now as we were speaking about it,
16:52
talking advantage Sutton, Sutton's Bye Sutton sentence buying not selling. Yes, so
17:04
that's interesting. She has a boyfriend, Kyle. Was on this show called
17:11
We Are Family on Fox and it's also it also aired on Hulu. I
17:18
just happened to scroll past and it was like her and I believe Sophia singing
17:22
a duet a stage like in America's Got Talent type of situation, and people
17:30
in the audience were like going wild. It was interesting. I was like,
17:34
who knew that this even existed. So they're singing that song that goes,
17:40
I love you like I love somebody or something like that, you know
17:44
what I mean. Okay, I don't even know this show, let alone
17:49
the song. So that's out there. They just pop up in the most
17:53
random places, you know. They just get these gigs. Yeah, yeah,
17:59
get it, guys, get it. Am I missing any other news?
18:03
Oh? Probably there's It feels like so much has happened in the last
18:07
couple of days and I can't keep up. I okay, I'm just kind
18:15
of scrolling through what I've got here. I I think I've covered it.
18:22
I mean, that's fine for now. We got to get into buying Beverly
18:25
Hills. But I I want to say, I want to ask you about
18:30
the Baltimore Bridge. About that bridge Baltimore, if you know anybody, like,
18:34
yeah, I knew everybody on it. I knew everyone on it.
18:37
Now, well, they called me day so they were able to clear the
18:42
roads. So like there were eight people though that yeah did fall And I
18:48
haven't read further. And I was just like, I mean, obviously you're
18:52
familiar with that bridge. Have you been over? Oh? Yeah, that's
18:56
freaking crazy. That like I mean it's a very it's a it's a it's
19:00
like a very popular. It's like the Beltway. Yeah, yeah, it's
19:04
like very travel I think thirty they said thirty five thousand people or cars a
19:10
day or something crazy. I actually I don't remember they said cars or people,
19:15
Like are they talking carpool? Oh, they would probably say cars,
19:18
not people. Anyway, I was very happy to know it wasn't the infrastructure
19:22
and that it was a rogue cargo ship that lost power and then they signaled
19:29
may day and then that because I was like, here we go, our
19:32
bridges are falling apart. But no, it wasn't that. It was like
19:34
it crashed into it because of the electrical failure on the boat. Oh okay,
19:41
oh my god. I wonder if it's one of those newer boats like
19:47
that fricking remember the below deck Mediterranean when Captain Sandy had that vessel that was
19:53
all new electrically and it was always messing up. Yes, I mean maybe
20:03
I feel like things are getting from you very quickly these days. So I
20:07
don't know, like all this stuff with Boeing and everything, not that this
20:10
is they don't make boats, but I'm just saying, like Yeah, there's
20:14
a real you know that. Get what's the bottom line? Yeah, but
20:18
I have no idea what the deal is with that boat. Well, thank
20:22
you for speaking to that, Emily. Mm hmm. Glad you're safe now,
20:30

24:30
to be created by I don't know four people with PhDs who've done the R
24:36
and D. And they have. They've done research and development and guess what
24:40
they figured out, Uh, peptide o five dash zero one. That peptide
24:47
guess what. It's the first ingredient scientifically proven to reduce the build up of
24:51
these what they call senescent cells. Now hear me, I'm this This is
24:56
kind of hilarious. They say these notorious zombie cells are what contribute to skin
25:03
aging. Well, of course they're called zombie cells. Who wants those?
25:06
Well, guess what I don't. So I'm going to use one Skin.
25:08
I actually been using their I cream, which I'm really really loving. It's
25:15
the topical supplement and I'm not really good at like doing I cream at night,
25:22
so this has been really beneficial for me. I'm loving the I cream
25:26
and I'm loving that it's reversing the molecules in my fests because they figured it
25:33
out in their lab. So one Skin check it out. It's all about
25:37
longevity, targeting the root causes of aging to help you look and feel your
25:41
best at every age. Go ahead and get started with fifteen percent off using
25:45
code drama at one skin dot com. That's fifteen percent off one skin dot
25:52
com with code drama after you purchase the LASKI where you heard about it,
25:56
so tell them that I sent chat. Okay, now let's get into this
26:00
buying Beverly Hills Hobba duh. She is Oh my god, Mike, I
26:08
know when it said zombie sells. He's like, is this the walking Dad?
26:11
That's what I was thinking too. I'm not looking at the comments,
26:17
but I because I'm staring at the notes. So yeah, fill me in
26:21
on comments as we get them. Well, there are a lot of people
26:25
talking about how twenty twenty had a documentary about mountain dew and how it was
26:30
horrifying. Yeah, it's you can take the paint off a car. Brett
26:34
used to drink mountain dew when I first met him, like crazy, oh
26:40
ye yeah. Then he had a panic attack, went to the hospital and
26:42
then he cut out. He cut out Mountain dew is there like your heart
26:48
has been racing, yeah, for ten years straight. When I met him,
26:52
I'm like, you drink that. I don't even know how we're together,
26:56
to be quite honest with you, but whatever, there was a lot
27:00
going against us. So we didn't meet in a pod. It wasn't Love
27:07
Is Black but right, No, you fell in love in a hopeless place
27:10
we did called the comedy scene. Well that is true. Why is this
27:17
show so good? Emily? It's so good? I know, and I
27:22
don't typically like the real estate show genre, but they are doing. I
27:26
mean, it's thought that I dislike it, right that I don't necessarily tune
27:32
in unless it's a marathon. And someday when i'm I want something on and
27:37
I'll watch it, I will take this. So I will take a real
27:40
estate reality genre over others, like over a Devil Wears Prada on Bravo whenever
27:47
they I would. You know, there's things that I don't like on Bravo.
27:52
I like Devilwears product I just hate when I tune in and it's movies
27:56
and I'm like, why, I know, do like give us a show?
28:02
You know? Yeah, I believe I've pitched my little ass off for
28:06
programming, and they're just like, we don't do that. We don't do
28:10
that. We don't do morning programming, we don't do weekend pro. You
28:14
know. It's like, well change it, you fools, because people want
28:18
more programming whatever. Okay, anyway, that's my little rant. But I
28:25
have watched Selling Sunset. I have watched million dollar listing. This blow selling
28:30
Sunset out of the water because it's actually kind of real, you know,
28:34
yeah, and uh, and I am very turned off by a lot of
28:40
it. I'm not gonna lie. So there's a feeling about like the I
28:44
know, I've used that word vapid, but there is a feeling about real
28:45
estate and the vapidness of being in Hollywood and just being in these gross multi
28:52
million dollar homes with these like weird people coming in with money that who knows
28:56
where it came from and where it's going. I feel kind of dirty at
29:02
times. But when it's repackaged with a family business, it's a whole different
29:10
vibe. And then when you see the different groups within, you see the
29:15
growth of this incredible I mean, look at the agency, you really get
29:18
a vibe and you understand how they have been killing it for so long,
29:25
and they're like the fastest growing agency in the country. So that to me,
29:30
I really did a bit of a one eighty on my feelings about Mauricio
29:36
leaving Hilton and Highland. So oh yeah, Russ says, well, these
29:42
people are actually realtors. Yeah, that's a great point, Russ. You
29:49
know, so that is I mean, million dollar listing. They are actual
29:53
realtors too. But I was comparing it to selling Sunset. How much better
29:56
it was because yeah, obviously they're real and we're seeing the competition, we're
30:02
seeing how how things go. I'm worried it being a family business. I'm
30:07
worried about them being on this reality show and it burning to the ground because
30:12
of these interpersonal relationships and family and and things, you know, bubbling up.
30:18
But what what are your I mean, Well, I mean it's such
30:22
unique family and that these gals, the girls, all grew up on reality
30:27
television. This is not Mauricio's first Sometimes I will say it feels like his
30:33
I was going to say, rodeo, but I'm not doing it all back
30:37
waiting for you to say Okay. Sometimes it feels like even on Beverly Hills
30:44
this season, like do you know how this works? Right? You?
30:48
But he still seems a little uncomfortable or a little like cautious of the camera,
30:55
and we can feel it, but at the same time, like it's
31:00
he's you know, everybody's experienced in this vibe, in this space. What
31:04
I wasn't expecting was the tangible stress of the real estate market right now.
31:11
And not that I don't think that Mauricio and Kyle should stay together. I
31:18
don't think that, but I do have a little bit of a better understanding
31:22
of where Mauricio was coming from. And Kyle was talking about his stress level
31:29
this year. Yes, absolutely, yes, So not only does he have
31:33
the pressure of the market, he's probably very relieved to have these cameras here,
31:37
but there's all added pressure with that too. Yeah. And then the
31:41
marriage taking a turn. Yeah, a lot is happening on the show.
31:45
And to see that they were probably filming simultaneously while she's doing Beverly Hills and
31:53
he's doing buying Beverly Hills. So to open on something so personal at the
32:06
very beginning to launch a real estate show was certainly on the nose for the
32:12
selling sunset type of vibe where you're getting that drama, but the rest was
32:16
very million dollar listing because they've always focused on actually just selling houses and showing
32:22
property. But they obviously got to that. But to see you know,
32:29
Mauricio, Alexia, Sofia and Farah and Moe being like your mother and I
32:35
had amazing twenty six years with your mom. You know, I wanted to
32:37
do everything to save it, but your mom said she needs space. I
32:39
don't know, and so she said, you know, go out there and
32:44
date. And so we're separated and maybe I'll go to Aspen and it's like,
32:49
what, yes, see that and then they're crying and to line god,
32:54
Portia didn't have to sit through that one agree totally agreat and and I
33:00
that's where we see each other on that and I still feel like the same
33:04
as you, like, I feel like ports shouldn't have been part of that
33:07
Beverly Hills scene. But yeah, so they start like that and then it's
33:12
like six months earlier and then boom, we go back to Okay, Sophia's
33:15
starting in real estate now, and uh now we're getting the tours of the
33:19
houses and we meet all the groups within the agency. So this whole structure,
33:27
it's produced incredibly well, yeah, and I did like learning about the
33:32
different groups. I thought it was so interesting the VZP group, how they're
33:37
so young and they just started this within that agency. It's it's an interesting
33:44
take. I kind of liked how they uh was his name John, Yeah,
33:50
yes, okay, yeah, I he was irritating. Yeah it's Joey,
33:55
Joey, Joey. He's the one who thank you. I got to
33:58
pull up my cast list. Joey, Yeah, thank you. He dated
34:04
Alexia and I didn't. I didn't know that because I didn't watch the first
34:07
season, so I'm gonna have to go back. But to see how young
34:12
they I mean, like they went to high school together, so they're like
34:15
twenty seven years old and he's already heading up his own group. These are
34:20
hustlers, you know, these are people that are really like making it happen.
34:23
And I did like his mission statement, which is like, the the
34:30
scope of realtors is like an antiquated, you know, very dinosaur vibe,
34:39
and he wants to be like the cool group. And I think that's great.
34:44
I mean, I think I love it. Yeah, I mean they're
34:46
also doing a good job of framing him kind of as like a young Mauricio,
34:52
and so I'm just waiting for him to leave, but he seems you
35:00
think. I mean, like, I thank you Kathleen for saying she loves
35:01
the Blazers, the blaze I The vibe I get from him is, you
35:09
know, it's I haven't figured it out yet. You know, I'm not
35:15
one hundred percent in and I'm not one hundred percent out. Like I respect
35:17
what he's doing, but I did not like the way that he treated Alexia
35:22
at obviously when they're talking about this listing that they're going to be sharing the
35:28
Rustic Valley Ranch listing. Yeah, they have a real David and Maddie.
35:35
Well they won't they all the young kids know I'm speaking about moonlighting Everyone's day.
35:39
Great. Thank you. That competitive flirting that I'm like, I don't
35:45
know where this is going, but it's going to keep going. I get
35:49
that vibe, okay. And I also feel like he's taking advantage of her
35:57
in a way and she's no. Whyse up to this pretty soon? I
36:01
felt that she's very naive still watching it, and it made me nervous.
36:07
But I love that she, like you said, she's going to be tapped
36:13
into what's up very quickly, and she's growing and she's changing and she's Ben
36:20
said, you know, Ben made the comment about nepotism, and I'm so
36:24
tired of this nepo baby argument because it's like it's give and take. Yeah,
36:31
there's some benefits, but there's a lot more. There's almost equal drawbacks
36:36
in terms of like the expectations and everything. And in Alexi's case, it's
36:42
more about like it's like she's kind of naive because she thinks everybody around her
36:51
is there to be her friend and kind of help her because that's everybody's paling
36:55
around with her dad. And she's going to learn. She's going to still
36:59
learn the lessons we've learned, it's just going to learn the differently differently.
37:02
And sometimes nepo kids are under more pressure because they have to prove themselves more
37:10
than the regular person so that they deserve to be there without having given that
37:15
opportunity. And look, it's impossible too, because a lot of nepo babies
37:21
don't they don't need themselves, and then they're out like and that's certainly like,
37:25
look when you look at Hollywood kids and they get these positions and it
37:32
could have been anybody and they're not exceptional, but they just get the job.
37:37
It's like, well, you could be anybody. You know, you're
37:38
really not doing it, but you got it because you're you know, Russell
37:44
Crowe's son, allegedly, we're not. He's very qualified, he's great,
37:50
but also they get these opportunities and they blow them and they never can stay
37:53
because they don't have any talent. Alexia is amazing and the thing about the
37:59
brochures that bothered me was that was total bullshit, you know. And then
38:04
he's got this misogynistic side to him, which is like, yeah, you're
38:07
great at events. It's like, look, bitch, I actually know more
38:13
about this business than you do, and you need to treat me with respect.
38:15
So I did not like his vibe with her. I loved how Sophia
38:22
was like why why are you fucking liar? Yeah, your mom? I
38:28
mean she came in swinging, but was like the most low energy swinging,
38:32
but everything hit everything. I was so confused as to why they kept setting
38:39
Sophia up as to whow she's terrifying. She's so scary. I'm like,
38:44
this girl's crying about having anxiety. I don't know what. Everyone's so terrified
38:50
about I think she just carries herself as though she has it all figured out,
38:54
and we know that she doesn't. But that's I think that that intimidating,
39:00
I guess, but I would think her family would be onto it and
39:04
they're like, oh shit, I mean I need to see more of what
39:08
they're talking about, because that part did help seeing her call out Joey very
39:15
quickly and I loved it. Yeah, and to see how he reacted,
39:20
like he's that person that's gonna like smile and say all the right things and
39:22
make a go away and that's and you know a lot of realtors are like
39:25
that, and they're just they're good salesmen and they can be that way.
39:32
So uh now, oh, you know what I thought was funny is at
39:37
the beginning, we kind of got a lot of quick cuts to the meetings
39:43
with these groups, like they're all off into their own little groups, and
39:46
it just it wasn't the flex that they thought it was going to be when
39:50
we see them giving pep talks to their group, because it was just like
39:53
the most generic statements you could possibly make. It's like, do you guys
39:58
want to be a part of this group? You got to show up.
40:00
You gonna show up if you want to. You know, if you want
40:04
to make appointments, you gotta make the phone calls to make the appointments in
40:07
order to show up. If you know, the more you sell, the
40:13
more money you will make. If you were taking notes, if you open
40:22
a door, close it behind you, simple stuff, guys, But you
40:28
gotta clock in. It's like, this is just a bunch of bullshit.
40:31
But I did like that. Uh So Kyle and Mauricio at home in that
40:38
love being moment when they're in bed, when she's taking off her makeup kind
40:43
of and like she's, Okay, I'll do your show. You've done my
40:45
show for so long, so I guess I'll do your show. It just
40:49
very much seemed like that. And he's like, I'm stressed out. You
40:51
know, I had a breakdown, you know, I just like I don't
40:53
know, you know, get all these like eight hundred agencies opening up,
40:55
and like oh, and she's like, I'm did he say love being or
41:07
did he just say he did? Why are you so you're so mean?
41:10
I was like, oh, could be either. Oh wow, I mean
41:15
only because but it's also like there's ten camera guys in there, like I
41:21
got I get why she wasn't like, let's rodeo, you know what I
41:24
mean, Like, yeah, they've been there before. They're they're not the
41:29
Gorgas on camera. They're not going to be like let's pretend we can't keep
41:32
our hands off each other. Like I was glad, She's like, I'm
41:37
gonna read this book and just like watch already, Okay, I'll go open
41:44
up another agency in the bathroom. I'll be like, Kyle, I just
41:46
opened up a bathroom agency. River is gonna start working at that one.
41:54
All the dogs are interning now when they went was that the same day or
42:01
is that later when they when Kyle goes to the house and she's like the
42:07
size of a door knob on that door, Oh my god. That was
42:09
so funny, reminding me of one of those experiences you go to in La
42:13
where like everything's large, like an Alice in Wonderland experience. I mean,
42:16
she was so tiny hanging on that door was the funniest thing. All those
42:22
houses make me so nervous. I hate them so much. They all because
42:25
I'm just like, I mean, maybe you just have so much, so
42:30
much money you don't care. But at any point, like they're totally new
42:32
concepts of homes built on toothpicks and on a hillside. It's like, not
42:42
only do people coming in to work on your home never seen these problems before
42:45
because they've never seen a staircase of marble suspended in mid air like like million
42:52
dollars. Yeah. They also don't know when there's a problem with it to
42:58
identify it to fix it. And one earthquake, yeah, it's like I
43:01
don't I hate it just gets so nervous and then I think I don't want
43:06
to live downhill from that. Oh that's the thing. Like the people that
43:09
are downhill from that have probably lived there for thirty years in their normal stable
43:15
home and then this floating staircase comes just collides on them. It's too much
43:21
science and physics involved for this house too. I just it's too like living
43:25
at the Franklin Institute, Like there's too much science. Yeah, Mauricios,
43:30
Like this floating staircase is one million dollars, and when there's an earthquake,
43:35
it turns into a regular staircase automatically, So that's what's cool about it.
43:39
And anyway, so we call it convertible staircase, yes, yeah, can
43:51
we talk about But the Rustic Valley ranch listing was amazing. That was gorgeous.
43:57
I am Martin with you. That was gorgeous California. I mean,
44:00
but twenty eight million dollars, three hundred and sixty acres and you acquire the
44:06
olive oil and you get this log cabin and I was so here for this.
44:13
I loved it. I loved it. I did too, and I
44:15
thought like I did have the thought of I guess the owner doesn't want to
44:19
sell it as such, but I did think like, couldn't you split the
44:22
property, like there's so much and could not split it into development? I'm
44:28
saying I split it into two farms with me, Yeah, optunities because it's
44:34
not like the house. The house is really cool, but I mean when
44:38
we saw inside, I was like, okay, I'm not looking for you
44:42
know, all glass and all that. I'm just it's small and it feels
44:46
like what it should use a refresh for a farm. Yeah, and it
44:51
would be a for twenty eight million dollars. I was just like, this
44:54
is clearly not about the house. It's not about so it's not about the
44:58
house. It's about the farm. It's about the Overcados. I also love
45:06
the Portuguese bend road one that was the only I'm sure you love that one.
45:09
To the midcentry ranch with five acres walnut floors, European inspired by Nikonos,
45:15
with the vineyard and had Greek feel love that place? Tell me we
45:21
love it? I would. I was like, that's fourteen million, Like
45:23
that seems like it should be one hundred million, like it couldn't believe that
45:28
property exists within like La County. It was only fourteen million because it was
45:36
the amount of land. Oh, where was that place? Was that the
45:38
one between Santa Barbara and La Or was that? I thought that the farm,
45:45
the big the twenty eight million was the one out And then this has
45:49
the view of the you could see Redondo Beach. Oh, I think it's
45:52
still La County. Yeah, you're right, you're right, Okay, I
45:55
love that. I thought that was fantastic and uh oh, and then I
46:04
did really find one of the most compelling and fascinating points of the real estate
46:10
angle of all this and it being so real is Paul Nassif's property. That
46:15
what they chose to do an auction because the market is so crazy and this
46:20
is like you know, the interest rates are high, nothing is moving,
46:22
and so you feel the stress because everybody knew that it was probably it was
46:28
twenty twenty what was last year, maybe early, I mean, but really
46:31
but at that point twenty twenty two, end of yeah, interest rates were
46:36
only going up as far as anybody knew, so like people were having to
46:40
make it up on their house sale because you know they yeah, but that
46:45
was great to do the auction, to create some sort of urgency to really
46:50
push it. And doctor Nassif was like, uh, yeah, I need
46:54
the money and I want it liquidated like immediately. So I had some question.
47:00
It's a follow up that one, I mean, you know, you
47:04
know, and Botched is still going you never know how many. Yes,
47:08
they just launched. They just launched. They just premiered another new season.
47:14
That's such a successful show. They've been on for so long. He's obviously
47:16
a plastic surgeon. He makes tons of money. We just don't We don't
47:19
know how many properties he has. We don't know. We just know he
47:23
probably was panicking about the market for one and wanted to do honestly fair because
47:29
maybe he had some bonker investments, you know, maybe some commercial properties weren't
47:35
what they he thought they were going to be. Like, I get like,
47:37
I just was curious, like they led us up to it but didn't
47:42
tell us more about it. And I'm write I was just curious because we
47:45
know about him. Yeah, and interesting that he was, you know,
47:50
allowed to be filmed and that he signed up to do this. I thought
47:53
that was great because he needs some you need you want names at some level,
48:00
and this also seemed real. And did you see that it was designed
48:05
by fay Resnik. Yes, And then Joey comes in like this sucks,
48:10
I know, and that other guy's like this is like West Hollywood but like
48:15
worse. Yeah, like five years ago or something. Yeah, something like
48:19
that. But like to Joey's point, I was like, he's crazy.
48:23
Oh he actually has a point. It is a good point. Wait.
48:29
No, that wasn't the vertical house. That was No, that was a
48:32
different house. Which house was that? Oh? Oh okay, I thought
48:37
it was that house. So No, that was was a verticality, which
48:43
I never knew. That word that was Sierra Madre in the bird Streets.
48:47
That one is for eleven nine, And that point I totally got too.
48:54
I was like, yeah, you walk right in and there's steps, you
48:59
know, to the although I will say this, of all the boxy shaped
49:05
houses, that one, to me, I liked more than any of the
49:08
other ones because of how vertical it was, because it was closing off areas
49:15
to where it wasn't just this wide box where everything is just one room and
49:21
it's so spacious. I like a cozier feel, and these boxes have no
49:27
cozy factor, no warmth to them whatsoever. So that vertical house, though
49:31
it was confusing, and I saw his point, it felt more homey to
49:37
me than the other ones. Yeah, I hated it. Yeah, because
49:40
hated it, But yeah, you know, I actually liked massive house the
49:46
best you did, because you like faces. Next decorating, I love deur.
49:52
What house had the door, the bathroom door that slid close, the
50:00
one that as the slats which don't give you privacy in visual or sound.
50:07
Oh god, see that's what I'm talking about. I don't know, but
50:10
I hate that. I hate it all so much. We've got Cindy here,
50:15
who says, longtime real estate broker twenty five years here. Oh good,
50:19
yes, let's talk Cindy. She says, if Sophia is the one
50:22
who just joined yeah, she is. I am not getting good vibes like
50:27
I do for the other two. Doesn't seem like her thing. She comes
50:31
off disinterested. Yes, is it may not be her thing at all.
50:37
I mean they're trying to, you know, get her in the family business,
50:42
see if it fits. And when she goes to that lunch with her
50:45
sisters and with Kyle and she's like, I'm overwhelmed this transition in my life,
50:50
like I don't know things, and Kyle's like, look, if you
50:52
aren't feeling this, then you don't have to do this. Like yeah,
50:57
and there's always kids who don't want to have anything to do with the family
51:00
business. Yeah, and sure enough she probably won't. You know, Alexia
51:08
is built for it. And it's Farah too. Yeah. Yeah, I
51:13
mean I've yet to see Farah. I haven't seen the first season, but
51:17
I guess to say, obviously, Alexi has more charisma, and she's more
51:22
outspoken, and she's got that it factor that both Mauricio and Kyle have.
51:28
She's you know, she's really I mean that's why Zach when he was roasting
51:32
he was like, you're the you know, you're Mauricio point two point zero
51:36
and Para's like, but yeah, yeah, yeah, I think also interesting
51:46
to the dynamic between the girls. I loved that how close that they are,
51:52
but that there's still like was it Alexia that was saying that she had
51:57
fomo when she wasn't included in hangs with Sarah Sophia? Yeah, that was
52:02
wild. That was some sibling stuff. I don't have sisters. I have
52:07
one brother, and he and I are really tight. I can't imagine a
52:12
having a third sibling, but that would be so hard. I guess that.
52:15
I mean, obviously that happens. I just always think of that family
52:19
as being so all for one, one for all, because that was so
52:23
ingrained in Kyle's upbringing. And we know that there's been some tension, but
52:30
yeah, I just was like, oh wow, even there, there's like
52:34
a hierarchy. Yeah. And I also think, like, you know,
52:37
Farah and Sophia's vibes are so much more chill that that's probably why they connect.
52:45
Alexia has a different vibe to her, and maybe, you know,
52:50
I mean, they all just have different dynamics. I mean, yeah,
52:52
lovely, lovely, lovely gals. It was really nice to see them and
52:57
like see how this is all taking place and when Alexi was kind of calling
53:02
out. Well, actually, Sophia had a hard time with Alexi calling her
53:06
out in front of people, saying, why don't you check my emails?
53:08
And this is somebody who hasn't had work experience before. So she's lucky that
53:15
she has the opportunity to be handled with kid gloves, because in the real
53:22
world, you know, that just doesn't happen. You. You are just
53:25
going to be told and your feelings are going to be hurt and you're shit
53:29
and you just have to step up and you've got to do what it takes.
53:32
So it'll be interesting to see if she sinks or swims. Who is
53:37
the who is our darling real estate? Was it Cindy? Cindy? Yeah?
53:39
Yeah, so Cindy, Like, I can't imagine if you had an
53:43
intern and they didn't look through your emails for three days, good market,
53:47
bad market? I think you would you could be the I would assume that's
53:52
like real estate one oh one bonkers. But I I hope that Alexi wasn't
53:58
totally counting on you to be checking the email. I hope Alexia knew better
54:04
than to let it go for three days. Oh yeah, yeah, right
54:07
right right A couple of comments over from the Darlings and the chat VW says,
54:14
I just read Paul Napa Nassa bought that house for five million and it
54:17
was a spec house. Oh and so he puts him and then he but
54:21
he had seventeen million put into it, so he still he made a million
54:23
bucks. Yeah, that's pretty good. By the way, that was wild
54:28
to learn about this auction that you can you can make and two people had
54:31
offers a twenty one million dollars before the auction and they were just like,
54:36
we'll close in two weeks. That's that or however that was, and he
54:39
didn't take it. It's just it's interesting because everyone was really wanting him to
54:45
take it, which obviously he would have made more money if he would have
54:49
taken it, right, but he didn't want that money in escrow. He
54:52
just wanted like fast cash. Uh. But what an interesting lesson to learn
54:59
because eighteen million, eight twenty one and he should have taken it. I'm
55:05
sure he's happy, but but you know, like cash is cash, and
55:08
like Maurcio said, it could have fallen apart and then he's back to square
55:12
one. So it's not really like here's the deal. You should take it.
55:15
There's there. It wasn't one hundred percent in terms of they get down
55:21
the road and then it's not available. And now he's been rejected, and
55:24
now it's like another like, what was wrong with that deal? Why didn't
55:29
it go through? I kind of got why. I didn't want to do
55:31
that. Yeah, that's now he's got that great thank on him, right
55:36
because and especially in this market, So that does you know now that we're
55:38
talking about it does make sense. I did love the live watching of the
55:44
auction that they were in the office and everyone was freaking out. That was
55:47
some great stuff. I mean, that's really really fun. I want him
55:51
to do auctions more often because I really like the palpable thing and I loved
55:54
that Tomato the dad who was like, oh no, no, below market
56:00
value, and Reese was like, I get it dead stop time every time
56:05
that camera came at him. Oh, it's not good. It's not gonna
56:10
be good. It's not Oh this is looking really bad. It's like you,
56:15
I need to hype people in here, not not that, not that.
56:22
Yeah, that was really fun. Farah is the new director of operations.
56:25
I don't exactly know what that means, but she's still selling houses,
56:30
so she's obviously pulling double duty. Oh, I thought that they hired someone.
56:36
I thought that That's what I thought too, And then I thought that
56:38
she said she was the new director. Now I'm confused. Okay, does
56:43
any can anyone clarify if Sarah is the new director of operations or if they
56:47
hired someone, or if I am I don't know? Yeah, am I
56:51
the new director of or I mean I feel like I should be. But
56:55
maybe it's Amy. Okay, maybe it's Cindy. Could be Cindy. Cindy,
57:00
do you want the job? We have to talk a little bit about
57:05
how Brandon called out Ben for like unfollowing him on social media. What are
57:09
your thoughts on this? Well, what is anybody's thoughts on that? Like
57:14
Brandon had a totally valid point, Like I was, like, what world
57:17
do you live in? Ben? Where your whole vibe is built on relationships
57:23
and you don't know to not unfollow people? Like You're lucky if Brandon's the
57:28
only one, you did it too, and now you can learn and not
57:30
do that because if you do that to clients, forget it. I mean
57:37
you know what I mean, Like it's one thing and Ben kept categorizing the
57:43
problem wrong. He kept saying just because you don't like his selfies, and
57:45
it's like no, no, no, you unfollowed him and they were like,
57:51
why didn't you mute him. He's like, I didn't know what that
57:52
was. I see this as somebody who is not privy as that one Gal
57:59
explos what name his assistant about like kind of like, yeah, understanding the
58:06
etiquette of social media. He's different in his generation, so he doesn't understand
58:12
he needed to be told truth be told. I understand what he's meaning about,
58:16
Like, you know, some people's feeds just clutter it up with like
58:21
these selfies, So I'm kind of like I don't need to see a selfie
58:24
of someone over and over again if that's your content. I did go to
58:29
Brandon social media, and he does have real estate in there is he does
58:36
have a lot of like selfies, but he does mix it up with real
58:38
estate. I would say he would need to maybe lean more into the real
58:43
estate thing instead of just selfies like looking good. But that's what the kids
58:46
are doing, and that's the younger generation. So there was a real communication
58:51
breakdown with them, and I thought that as a leader, Ben really should
58:57
have. I felt two ways about it. Ben should have not been so
59:00
offended about being asked that He's like, I'm sorry, you're not God like.
59:07
He can broach you on certain things, like you know, I know
59:10
that he's new to the business or all. He's been in the business for
59:14
several years now, but I know he's not selling selling selling all the time
59:17
million dollar houses. But you can still be respectful. So I did think
59:22
that Ben was an asshole about that. Just follow him again, that's the
59:24
other thing. I'm like, it's oh, yeah, it doesn't cost you
59:28
anything, just follow him again. But I also felt like, if I
59:32
have a boss, I'm not going to go to them and be like,
59:36
why did you want follow me? I mean I also feel like, well
59:38
he didn't. Ben said he should have done that, but the gals got
59:45
defended on that. That's that's true. That's right. Melissa is a shitstirrer.
59:52
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I like her. Wow,
59:55
I mean, Lord, have mercy. Uh, let's see what Kelly
1:00:00
says. I think that. I think in that job, you follow coworkers,
1:00:05
okay, yeah, but in other jobs it's best to keep personal personal
1:00:09
maybe have a real estate account and a personal yeah, I mean, that's
1:00:14
a really good point, and then she says, I have also found that
1:00:19
Ben's generation is way more sensitive than people in their forties, and Double twenty
1:00:23
five's completely agree. So I do see both sides to this, and at
1:00:29
the end of the day, they're both they both have points and they both
1:00:32
need to kind of relax a little bit and see each other's side. And
1:00:37
yeah, yeah, follow him, I think, and mute. I mean,
1:00:39
you see part of the agency that you're in, Like, that's stupid,
1:00:45
especially when he's supposed to be like mentoring him in a way like I
1:00:49
thought it was a bad vibe. It's a bad vibe. But to Kelly's
1:00:52
point, yeah, I get that that is very insulting to a certain generation.
1:01:00
Be insulting to me too, honestly. Well, and I guess now
1:01:02
is the time I did unfollow you because we're in two different groups. I'm
1:01:07
in the Phillips Ganell group and you are in the daresis uh chang, thank
1:01:15
you, thank you. Your blouse is so awesome. It's like, I
1:01:21
love the pels going over the lapels. It's not a blazer shirt I do.
1:01:27
I'm really leaning into my jockey. Yeah, yeah, I sell I
1:01:37
will sell you this house. While we're riding. Let's go for a ride.
1:01:42
Okay, I think you know we'll have to end with this, which
1:01:47
is that Mauricio he's got has they fly in his private jet to Palm Spring
1:01:52
see golfs with them, Like, yeah, you want to say something.
1:01:54
I didn't know that Kyle and Mauricio had a private jet. I didn't either,
1:02:00
And I don't think it's theirs, because that couldn't hold the whole family.
1:02:02
No, it's got to be maybe they just rented it for the day,
1:02:07
you know, maybe they just rent it as needed, or it's owned
1:02:12
by several different people, Like right, I bet it's like a timeshare thing.
1:02:15
Yeah, because it's small. So because I know that she has been
1:02:17
on private jets with the gals on Beverly Hills, Kyle, but it's never
1:02:22
been hers. Yeah, yeah, Sutton had one, right, Yeah,
1:02:28
So anyway, keep going. Okay, So they go to Palm Springs,
1:02:31
they're golfing. I had to really skip through a lot of this, but
1:02:37
we get to a discussion about the Hilton Highland thing. So Zach has been
1:02:42
brought over and from Hilton and Highland. This this clown, the guy who
1:02:46
does all the impressions who By the way, I now I need to get
1:02:51
my real estate I license because if all I have to do is just sell,
1:02:57
like doing comedy bits like I'll make a killing, I'll just but Cat's
1:03:01
six, What is this place? It's terrible. You know, his impressions
1:03:06
weren't bad, it is the thing. They were actually really I kind of
1:03:08
knew everyone he was Paccino Trump. I mean he doesn't. Yeah. I
1:03:15
was like, pretty good, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's
1:03:21
not just we want to like rip him for like clowning like that. I
1:03:23
mean it is like so corny, and believe me, I would not be
1:03:30
doing that. But he still has that Larry David energy where he's over it,
1:03:34
which makes it funny when he's like, I'm gonna do an impression now.
1:03:38
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a really good point. He's likable.
1:03:44
He is very likable. Yeah. Uh So now we find out and
1:03:50
he hits some boy, he really hits them between the eyes there and at
1:03:55
this dinner, after Moe explains what happened at Hillman Island that you know,
1:04:02
look, I felt like I got fucked. You know, there were one
1:04:05
hundred agents and they did a billion dollars in sales, and he did nineteen
1:04:11
point six percent of their production. So when I heard those stats, I
1:04:15
said, Okay, I get it. Yeah, and I don't I still.
1:04:24
I just think there's a lot of and we know this about both of
1:04:28
these families, the Hiltons and Kyle Richards family, that the communication within their
1:04:34
families is a little bit broken and they maybe don't fully talk about things that
1:04:41
are difficult. So I'm willing to give Paris the benefit of the doubt that
1:04:45
like, maybe her dad hasn't really talked to her about this, and like
1:04:48
I get that she feels insulted that this is becoming a big storyline for Mauricia
1:04:56
to make money off of kind of knocking her dad. That I can't be
1:05:00
easy for that family, for Paris, et cetera. That stead it's Mariso's
1:05:05
origin story and it sounds legit, and it would be really frustrating. Yes,
1:05:12
And to think that Zach did explain to him like, hey, by
1:05:15
the way, Rick took me out a week ago and asked, you know,
1:05:18
offered me equity, And Mario Cio was like, oh, I mean
1:05:21
I really didn't see that coming. And I wonder how if that storyline was
1:05:27
played. I asked these questions about like storyline being you know, the producers
1:05:32
knew about this and like they're gonna you know, draw it out, and
1:05:36
that's fine with me, but it is wild because well he asked him.
1:05:44
But it's like twenty years later, you know. I mean he's been he's
1:05:46
probably been with Hilton Highland for what fifteen years now, so he's just now
1:05:51
being asked to, you know, get equity, whereas Mauricio had been there
1:05:56
for a very you know, a smaller amount of time before he was immediately
1:05:59
like can I please be a partner? Where That's where I had a little
1:06:01
bit of an issue. It was like, well, you're asking to all
1:06:04
of a sudden be like right up there, maybe you need to wait a
1:06:09
little longer and you know, pay your dues or whatever. I don't know
1:06:12
how it works. I would love to see what Cindy the in our chat
1:06:15
has to say about Mauricio leaving Hilton Highland and basically you know, starting the
1:06:23
agency, but seeing how it has boomed and like how he has not stopped
1:06:30
and he's such a hustler. It was only going to be a matter of
1:06:31
time before he left Hilton and Highland anyway. I just wonder if there was
1:06:35
a could have been a better way for him to have left without the bad
1:06:40
blood with the family, because obviously it was piled on and that complicated everything.
1:06:45
Yeah. Yeah, there's so much going on there and we still don't
1:06:50
know what Zach's decision is going to be, which that's a thing today.
1:06:55
Oh yeah, I agree. That's the thing with these shows that I realized
1:06:59
and watched wishing this that like, unlike other real estate shows and unlike the
1:07:04
Bravo typical Housewives structures, like the drama is just ever present because it's such
1:07:13
a brutally stressful environment and so you don't have to create a play day at
1:07:19
a farm where you're, you know, gonna all make pumpkins, like,
1:07:25
there's no time for that. It's like, you gotta sell work. I
1:07:30
mean, I completely agree with you, and that's why this is great.
1:07:35
I mean, if it's real work, I mean, it's like below Deck,
1:07:39
you know, they're doing real work, they have real charters, people's
1:07:42
lives are at stake, and you know, I mean on below Deck they
1:07:47
are not necessarily in realty. But Ben not Ben Brandon. He was saying
1:07:56
like, hey, uh, you know, you have to make like other
1:08:00
ways to make money if you're not selling houses, like so these are people
1:08:04
that are obviously you want to when you're not established as a realtor, you
1:08:08
have to find other ways to make money. How about Sonica being canned on
1:08:15
television yeah by yeah, and being comforted by her ex And that was messy
1:08:21
and I did. I was very much here for Brandon with the whole like
1:08:26
glass of water, like because he was like, she's getting fired, goldfiled
1:08:31
because he was slamming her for like when they broke up, she just wasn't
1:08:35
showing up, you know you kinda yea. And that's and we were told
1:08:39
the very beginning, if you want to be successful, you gotta show up.
1:08:42
Sonica's not showing up. You gotta let her go. But Brandon was
1:08:45
so nervous too. He's like almost grabbing his water kind of grabbing his laptop
1:08:49
the same way as he with a cup of water. Like it was just
1:08:51
like, what the fuck's going on? That was really nerve wracking. I
1:08:56
did feel bad for her, not because she was getting fired, because look,
1:09:00
you're not selling, you're not showing up. Things are getting weird.
1:09:03
You broke up with your boyfriend. He works here, he's the golden child.
1:09:08
It's obvious he got to go, you know. Yeah. But I
1:09:11
felt very second hand humiliation because it was on TV. And I'm sure she
1:09:15
that's just hard, like that's she's young and it's hard. And I did
1:09:20
really feel for her and she did feel blindsided. And I think what she
1:09:24
meant by that is I didn't think that they would do this to me on
1:09:26
camera, right, And that's that's really tough, and that's you know,
1:09:30
yeah, because she probably was like, great, I'll come in. We're
1:09:33
filming now, and not realizing like it's a trap. They're going to fire
1:09:39
you, right. Meanwhile, Lexi's like who sounds just like Kyle's like they
1:09:43
all do fine, Oh my god, and like when they cry, they're
1:09:45
like at that lunch when they're all together, and Kyle's like, oh my
1:09:53
god, I thought I was at fine. Thirty minutes at you there and
1:09:56
you can go buy something to wear? Mom, I don't have time.
1:09:58
What are you gonna eat? What's wrong? Sothia? I just feel like
1:10:00
I'm in a transition. I mean, it was just like where am I?
1:10:06
It's cute, it's really cute though, Alexia the most is such a
1:10:12
little like carbon copy of Kyle. Yeah, yeah, Kyle for Miles,
1:10:17
Kyle four miles. VW says I was surprised Rick actually left H and H
1:10:25
as well. Oh yeah, I think is gone to new business. The
1:10:30
other co owner of H and H died so hard to Yeah. So so
1:10:36
obviously Rick is starting a new business and now he wants to bring Zach along
1:10:42
for this, right, and so maybe he's like, well, that's a
1:10:45
loophole. I wasn't recruiting him for H and H. It's a new business.
1:10:49
So I absolutely absolutely agree. I mean, and I frankly don't have
1:10:54
a problem with it. I mean, no, it seems like it's part
1:10:58
for the course there in that life. When Mauricio left Hilton Highland, from
1:11:05
all the pieces that were gathering, Kyle did say he had his own group,
1:11:10
He had the Yumansky Group at Hilton Highland, right, he did take
1:11:15
clients from that group that was, but it was under the umbrella of Hilton
1:11:18
Highland. And that's where the dirty business comes in, where it's like you're
1:11:21
not supposed to take clients. Well, then it's like is it a gray
1:11:26
area if it's in your group, you know, but people do that all
1:11:30
the time. Yeah, I feel I think it was probably more that they
1:11:36
gave Mauricio a great opportunity to be under their umbrella, and they felt that
1:11:42
they deserved more for putting their neck out for him. Yeah, and and
1:11:48
I actually have feelings about that where I totally see that it just sucks that
1:11:55
it was family, you know, because we did get that. They're,
1:12:00
like you said, their origin story and Kyle talk about like, oh,
1:12:02
we got our licenses together, like we were poor, we got he got
1:12:05
fire, we know what we're gonna do. We're twenty five, we had
1:12:08
kids, and like we just decided to get our licenses together. And then
1:12:11
the next thing, you know, Rick took him in. So it's like
1:12:15
somebody took you in when you needed help the most, and this is how
1:12:18
you repay him by right basically like you didn't get what you wanted from them,
1:12:25
so you immediately left. I suppose really going back in time, it
1:12:30
could have been done a different way. But whatever, Let's just lastly talk
1:12:34
about Kyle and Mauricio in the kitchen at the very end, and they're just
1:12:39
like living two different lives. He's just like I didn't even know where you
1:12:43
were, you know, you were gone somewhere. And then well, like
1:12:45
we're kind of seeing the same scenes play out again, but just from like
1:12:50
Kyle's in a better mood, but Kyle's in a bet. It's weird.
1:12:55
It's like these are the same, but she seems more willing to be nice
1:12:59
and show any uncomfortableness whereas she did on Beverly Hills, you know what I
1:13:03
mean. Because it's this show. She's like, Okay, I'll act like
1:13:06
we're okay, right, yeah, because she's not going to get a private
1:13:12
interview to talk about it. Well, maybe she will, I don't know.
1:13:15
So she's going to Nashville to shoot the Morgan video. How to see
1:13:20
that was wild, And at this point, Mauricio saying like, I'm trying
1:13:24
to save my marriage. You know, we're in marriage counseling, and you
1:13:27
know, at this point, I don't know if she like is in love
1:13:30
with me anymore. And so we're now seeing this and uh, and then
1:13:35
Mauricio is like, yeah, Rick is trying to get Zach back for his
1:13:39
new business and he's like, do you you know, do you know about
1:13:42
that? And she's like, I don't know yeah, so Kathy and Kyle
1:13:44
are not speaking it then I wish I knew and why you know, Yeah
1:13:51
so, but Kathy and Kyle would have ever talked about Zach, I mean,
1:13:57
like or anything to do with the business, which is part of the
1:14:00
fallout anyway. But yeah, well, oh okay, oh yeah, Russ
1:14:09
said that Mercedes works for the agency. Now that's right, MJ does.
1:14:14
Oh cool, you're very happy that you didn't get Mercedes on this. Oh
1:14:17
wow, were you think of her because of the Traders that you were?
1:14:21
I think Russ has a problem with her choices she made on the Traders,
1:14:25
I'm guessing. But you know, I hear what you're saying. Maybe on
1:14:30
some level it's just family and I like that, and that we don't know
1:14:33
any of these people, like we're just getting to know these people for the
1:14:36
first time, and there's something very refreshing about it, you know. Yeah,
1:14:41
yeah, people that we're getting you know. I mean, obviously we
1:14:44
know Mauricio, we know Kyle, but all the agents we have no clue
1:14:47
who they are. And the Brits are gone. So right anyway, guys,
1:14:54
what a great show. I'm glad that we only are talking about three
1:14:57
episodes because it's always so much to talk about in you know, I mean,
1:15:00
we've gone very long, so anything else you want to say about it?
1:15:05
