The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
-Hi!
-Hi.
I brought some greasy-faced monkeys
for you all.
Attaining perfection is a Mormon pastime,
and because Salt Lake City
is the capital of Mormonism,
I decided to open Beauty Lab + Laser.
We started from nothing,
and now we're valued at over $20 million.
-I'm glad you're back.
-I know. I needed to.
Isn't this amazing?
After my dad drank at my vow renewal,
he's decided that he wants
to make a bigger commitment
to his sobriety
and go to sober living.
Is that a real goal, to say no?
Warren Buffett didn't stop
buying and building companies.
-Why should I?
-There's only so much of you to go around.
The whole football season,
I hold it together
to be a supportive wife.
Understand, I don't see Sharrieff.
-Do you feel lonely?
-A hundred percent I feel lonely.
You don't want me here?
-We need a little room. It's been
-You want room? I'll give you room.
-[cheers and applause]
-[Seth] What's up?
I wish you could've came for the show.
[Seth] So do I.
Seth not being here,
it was like a pivotal point for me.
-Bye.
-Let's go.
[theme music]
In this town, I'm Queen Bee and MVP.
When you take cheap shots,
always expect a hangover.
This rose isn't scared
to handle a little prick.
Jealousy is a disease
to which I say, "Get well soon."
I love God, but I will read you
like a scripture.
Just like my pioneer ancestors,
I'm trying to blaze a new trail.
[upbeat music]
[birds chirping]
[line rings]
[sings] Hello! ♪
-How are you?
-Good.
You know why I'm calling?
What?
So, when you buy your girlfriend
a Prada purse for Christmas,
do you spend my money or yours?
Because I'm trying to figure out
why I see it on my credit card.
-Yeah. [chuckles]
-Don't do that.
Robert, I promise you,
that purse is gonna outlive
your relationship.
Don't buy nothing else expensive
unless you know you're gonna marry her.
[Robert Jr.] I'm sorry.
[up-tempo music]
I'm here with my husband tonight.
We haven't had a date night in a while.
I'm hoping to get laid
by the end of the night.
We used to have so much fun,
and I'd surprise you
and I'd be a different character.
Like, the homely mom
that's like, "Oh. Oh, no."
"My shirt's falling off."
Cheers to that.
[upbeat music]
I need you to take everything
you've learned in medical preparation
and apply it
to your little brother right now.
-How are you feeling?
-Not good.
-Omar, I made you some soup, though.
-Thank you.
-How's your throat feeling?
-Not good.
-Can you tell his temperature?
-By feeling his forehead?
-Yeah.
-No.
Want Mommy to cuddle with you tonight
and lay with you?
No, ma'am.
[music continues]
[Heather] Thar she blows.
-Looks so good.
-It looks so good.
-Who says it's too big?
-I'll show you too big.
[Dre] It's gonna be awesome
to see progress.
[sings] It's looking good ♪
-Trav?
-Hey.
-Hi!
-Hey!
-Welcome.
-Sorry we're late.
You're good.
Don't let me get cement on you.
-Oh, my gosh. This looks so good.
-I can't believe the progress.
We've made some progress
in the last couple weeks.
The sheet rocker's finishing tonight
and the floor guy's grinding.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
we'll have the finish worked up.
-We're still on target for our dates?
-Yes.
My personal life? Not so great.
But at Beauty Lab, I am killing it.
We're able to finally spread our wings
and build a huge Beauty Lab
for our customers.
-Getting that time for us, Trav
-Just took a permit, right?
I know. That was the hold-up.
It was never you.
We couldn't have anticipated
it would take that long. Seriously.
And it's a bigger space than normal
'cause we're double, yeah.
I've always wanted to have
my own business,
and I always thought I would,
but there wasn't a need
when I was just a wife and mother.
I mean, I had little side gigs
throughout my whole marriage,
and so if my husband
had to come home early from work
because I had a photography gig,
he would say, "How much are you making?
Like, 400 bucks? It's not worth it."
Because we had limitless money.
-Right here at the top of the sheet rock
-Yeah.
you'll have a perfectly clean,
straight edge.
But it wasn't about the $400.
It was about my skills and my fulfillment
and part of me being
just absolutely squashed
because it wasn't bringing in
enough money.
Those walls in there
it'll wrap all the way to the back
Yeah, it'll frame out the reception area.
-Right, exactly.
-You know, like,
here's your reception area,
then this is the clinic.
And if you wanna paint it black
-I think black. We wanna see it.
-I think it'd set it off really good.
You have the soul of an artist, Trav.
-No, art is not my
-You're not just a construction guy.
Having Beauty Lab + Laser be successful
is like a full circle redemption for me.
It's reminded me of who I was
before I got married
and the way I felt about myself,
that I could accomplish anything,
that I had a seat at the table,
that I had something to contribute.
You know, I'm not all the way there,
but Beauty Lab has been
a huge leap forward.
-You guys stay out of trouble.
-We'll do our best.
-Thank you so much.
-Alright.
[up-tempo music]
[cellphone rings]
Hi, honey. How are you?
Fine. How are you?
Good. I'm good.
I'm just working on a jewelry pull
for a stylist.
[Brooks] You need to get more stock
in your store of my size.
Absolutely.
Uh, Dad's on his way in
because we're going snowmobiling tomorrow.
Wow.
Sharrieff is home for a few days,
so I'm thinking we'll do, like,
a snowmobiling excursion,
and the spouses / significant others.
[Meredith] That sounds like fun.
I'll check with Seth.
You two are so funny.
Oh, look who's here.
-Who is that?
-I love you, Brooksie.
Hey, buddy. What's going on?
Thanks for missing my show.
Not having Seth there
for the fashion show,
I really felt very guilty and responsible.
I'm the one who asked for space.
I'm sorry for missing your show.
I can't guarantee it won't happen again.
I'll do my best.
Well, I'll see you later. Love you.
-Love you. Bye.
-Love you, honey. Mwah.
So I called Seth, and I
we-we talked, and-and decided
that it was a really good idea
for him to come in
and try to repair the damage.
How are you?
Um good.
You need to apologize to him.
He was really disappointed
that you weren't there.
You know why I didn't go.
I think
not knowing where the direction
where you we are going
with our relationship
that, I think it would've overshadowed
his-his big day.
I just think you don't want Dad or Mom
skunking anyone on his big day.
Our relationship shouldn't impact
my relationship individually
with each of our kids.
But I needed to be separated
in that period of time
to do my discovery,
to do my introspective.
-I needed to cleanse myself.
-I understand.
It's not that's not the point.
I realize
I've had my head down
trying to build a career so much
that I never worked on becoming
a better husband.
I mean, I did not grow emotionally
as a husband.
So I want you to please
give me that chance
to get caught up to where
you might be emotionally.
The last few weeks have been brutal,
and if you want to put the work in
to go to the next level,
then I'll put in 10 times more
of the work, 'cause I want to.
I cannot stand being without you.
If you hear me, what are you hearing?
How are you processing what I'm saying?
That you needed time and space.
We both did, Seth.
This was very different
from every other separation we've had.
It was probably very positive
for us not to communicate.
Every other separation, we're talking,
talking and poking at each other
-Yeah, it was a half-assed separation.
-and whatever else.
This time is the only time
where we really did not communicate
other than our call
after the fashion show.
And I felt like I had some space
to figure out what I needed,
and I realized that I missed you.
I realized that you weren't
at Brooks' show,
and that made me sad.
It was a moment, you know,
that I wanted to share with you,
and you weren't there for it,
and it was sad to me.
And then it gave me a taste
of what life would be without you,
and I don't want that.
Now I recognize that, like,
I need you with me.
I-I want you with me.
And I'm ready and willing
to put all the work in
to make this work for you
and for me and for our children.
It is such an incredible relief
to know that Seth still
really does love me and wanna be with me,
because over these last weeks,
I've come to the same realization.
I can't imagine my life without him.
I know that it feels good to be together
and that we need to be together.
I know it's not
just gonna be smooth sailing,
but this is step one.
We're on a positive path now.
So let's continue the journey
in a 2.0 way.
I'm in. I'm in.
I love you. I want to make this work.
I want us to be together.
[upbeat music]
[up-tempo music]
Hey.
-I've got a reservation under Barlow.
-Okay, great.
Enjoy.
-And my wife Lisa's coming in a sec.
-Sounds good.
[music continues]
Amazing.
-Hey.
-Welcome.
I have reservations under Barlow.
I think my husband's here.
-Your husband is already sat, follow me.
-Okay, thank you.
-Hi.
-Hey. You look great.
-Thanks for waiting.
-Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
-Nice weather out there, right?
-Gorgeous.
-Lisa, good to see you.
-Good to see you.
So many perks come
with owning a liquor brand.
-Can I bring you something to drink?
-Tell Ian whatever he's thinking.
We know every single restaurant,
bar, club owner in the state,
so let's just say it's easy for me
to get a reservation anywhere.
I'll get drinks.
I'll come back. We'll talk food.
-Thank you.
-Yeah.
Who's watching the kids?
Is Jack watching Henry?
Um, I made a few phone calls
'cause Jack said
-he really wants a math tutor.
-Okay.
So I'm on that.
We're ready to order.
Let's do the apple toast cauliflower,
then we're gonna share the fish.
-Perfect.
-Thank you.
You know, I keep getting DMs,
and people are, you know,
seeing me come off Sundance.
"I don't know how you do it.
How are you doing it?"
I still, I-I've said it before,
I don't wanna take anything more on.
I enjoy working.
There's only so much of you to go around.
Warren Buffett didn't stop buying
and building companies. Why should I?
Well, we're not gonna give up anything.
If there's another killer opportunity,
if it fits in our portfolio,
I don't wanna give that up either.
It-It's got to fit in the portfolio.
It's got to fit in our life.
We need to start working on not working.
Okay.
And I understand Sundance and stuff,
but I think there's
there should be
there legitimately should be a cutoff,
even if it's 11 o'clock.
I know. Sometimes I have to respond
just so I can get it off my plate.
I think if someone's sending
an email at 11:00 at night,
it can wait until morning.
[Lisa] So what if I'm
on my phone all the time?
I'm getting things done
and still engaging.
I can, like, listen to everyone talk
and, like, sing Britney Spears in my head
and still hear what you guys are saying.
I can do all of this.
[producer] So did you have
a good time at dinner with John?
Oh, wait. What did you just say?
-Oh, that looks amazing.
-Oh, wow.
I guess what I'm saying is,
there's times where
it feels like we're working
so much that we're
I'm not enjoying everything along the way.
My point is, what's it for?
You and I are both guilty
of, you know, work's first.
-Always.
-You know, kids are next.
You and me are down here,
and actually enjoying ourselves
are at the very bottom.
-Yeah.
-And
you know, it gets to a point
where we're giving up our boys.
We gotta figure out
how to include 'em more
into what we're doing,
what we're building.
Yeah, yeah, but my point is,
I feel like
I'm taking time away from the boys.
[delicate music]
I hear John.
I do know I have a lot going on.
There is not one night
I don't go to bed thinking,
do Jack and Henry feel loved?
Taking on a lot can take away
from them, and there's guilt.
[voice breaking] It's my kids. Like
[music continues]
I hear you. I get it.
Should we get the check?
Yeah, we can go.
[up-tempo music]
How do you think this is gonna go?
-With your dad?
-Yeah.
I have actually
no expectation going into it.
[music continues]
So I think you definitely
have to reiterate, like,
he's on the right path,
and then somehow we have
to have the discussion of
whether or not, has it been enough?
And obviously he thinks it has.
We have a little different opinion,
and be cautious how you approach that.
We are going to mediation today
with my dad
because I received
an SOS text message from him
saying that he is going to be receiving
a roommate in sober living,
and he's freaking out.
So I need to just get up there
before he packs his stuff and runs away.
I hope that we can talk through
what is the real issue with him
getting a roommate?
Like, he called me and instantly,
like, wanted me to make it better.
So for me, he's still not 100%
accountable and responsible yet.
-Right.
-I get that my dad's older,
and he doesn't wanna have a roommate.
But I think that it's an easy excuse
for him to leave the program.
He's thinking that he's on vacation
in Hawaii at the Four Seasons,
but in reality, he's in sober living.
He's not entitled to have his own room.
He's not entitled to have
his pillows fluffed every night.
Like, he's there to work.
He's there to put in the work
to get better.
[Whitney] I think one of my biggest goals
is to help him understand
my perspective on that
and see where he's at.
-Alright.
-You ready?
-[exhales deeply] Okay.
-[Justin] Big deep breath.
[tense music]
-[Whitney sighs] Okay.
-Big deep breath.
You got this, girl.
[music continues]
-Hey, hey.
-What's up, Dad?
Welcome to Cold Creek. Mm.
Good to see you.
Good to see you, man.
We get to use
the family room today, Steve.
-Yeah.
-[Whitney] The family room?
Oh, yeah, this is my first time.
So it's nice to have my family here.
-Yeah.
-You and I chatted,
so I think that we all know
kind of why we're here.
Steve, how do you feel today?
Um [sighs]
A little-little anxious.
They were gonna put a guy in my room.
And I was very clear when I came here
I could not do somebody
in the same room with me.
[tense music]
I just know myself
I was honest about that.
And I still feel that way.
It's just too much.
This news kinda set you back.
One of my, probably, issues now is
I really wanna get back in the game
and be productive.
That's what I really want.
When you say, "Back in the game,"
what does that mean?
Just my business.
Pick up my career and the salon.
Have you looked for a job or
No.
[tense music]
You can't just come out of here
and then open up
-Right.
-a salon.
So I'm just more wondering,
what is your plan to get there?
-No, I see that.
-That's steps.
Where are you gonna get
the money to do that?
Where are you gonna get You know?
Yeah, I have to figure out
from here to there.
Yeah, 'cause the plan I'm hearing
requires someone to help you.
Yeah, I'll probably need some help.
The first time that I took him to rehab,
he wanted me to pay for it.
He made a list of everything
he had paid for in my life
my education, dance, sports, car, tickets.
He even remembered some
stupid fender bender I was in,
saying that because he chose
to have me as a child,
now I owe him 30 grand for rehab?
In that moment, I was like, "[bleep] you."
But then I still paid for it.
Like, it's so hard to just
come out and say it,
'cause I don't want you to think
we don't wanna help you.
But it's a huge burden
to expect that we're gonna
give you money and open up our home.
I just do not wanna get back
to the point where
I feel like you're expecting me
to, like, take care of you
-Rescue him.
-whatever that means.
Whether that means living with me,
giving you money to start a business
or giving you a car to drive,
I wanna get away from that
because the amount of pressure
and burden that puts on me,
it shuts me down,
and it makes me resent you,
and I close off to you.
I want to be in a position
where I help you
because I want to help you,
not because you feel entitled to it
because I'm your daughter.
I get that I've been like
a really burden.
Nobody wants to be more
self-reliant than myself.
That's I've always owned my own salons,
and I've always done that,
and that's what that's how
I wanna be, you know?
I wanna be do that.
Yeah, and I think being here
is helping you do that.
-Yeah, definitely.
-And what we want,
our goal is for you to come out of this
-and get all of that on your own.
-Yeah.
Not because we're giving it to you.
-Right.
-You being here
is the best place you could be right now.
Let's figure out a way for you
to start making some money
while you're here,
and keep the treatment going,
and then when you're out,
you're gonna have the income and money
to get an apartment
and then to get into a salon.
Yeah.
I don't exaggerate this at all,
but you guys really saved my life.
And you have been that anchor,
my security blanket.
I can break that,
and we could actually have a much
better relationship.
-We want it for our kids, too.
-Yeah, I love your kids.
Yeah, they deserve their grandpa.
To see you here owning it,
being honest with us,
and us being honest with you, it's
I'm really proud of you, Dad.
I'm doing this for me
[triumphant music]
because when I fix me
everything else will fall into place.
-That's right.
-We agree.
-Hear, hear.
-We agree.
-Good work, everyone.
-Yeah.
[upbeat music]
-Okay, oh, yes, ma'am.
-Morning, guys. How are you?
-Outstanding.
-Hi. How are you?
-Good. Here to ride?
-Yes, indeed.
-We need to get all
-Suited and booted.
What my grandmama used to say.
Should we wear a head thing under that?
-Good morning. How are you?
-Good.
Good.
-You too.
-Good to see you.
-Get over here, stud.
-Sharrieff.
It's gonna be a fun day.
I feel like I really don't know
what's going on with the Marks family.
You missed your son's fashion show.
But you're coming in for snowmobiling.
I'm like, "What?"
I love Sharrieff. He is the real deal.
She just wants to portray this, like,
perfect image and perfect family.
Nobody's perfect.
[upbeat music]
-Morning.
-Good morning.
How are you guys?
-Sharrieff's here.
-Hi. How are you?
-How's it going? Hi.
-Hi.
[laughs]
I literally feel like I haven't
seen you guys forever.
[Lisa] I have been snowmobiling before.
My first snowmobile I think I got
when I was like 4 or 5.
And my older sister Gina is like,
"I'm going to drive."
Next thing you know,
full throttle on the gas,
I'm hanging on to her for dear life,
and my dad is, like,
literally chasing after us,
thinking we're going to die.
Okay, let's do this.
Honestly, I don't like driving with her
still to this day.
Okay, everybody's got your gear?
Everybody's got a helmet?
What we're gonna do is leave from here.
You're gonna drive 21 miles
up the mountain.
Your guides are up there. Have fun.
-Okay.
-Let's do this.
Alright.
[electronic music]
[laughs]
A little deep. [chuckles]
-[man] Who's our single rider?
-[Heather] I'm single.
-You'll be on this one on the end.
-Okay.
[Heather] I have no problem being single.
To me, snowmobiling is just like sex.
It's much more fulfilling
if you just do it alone.
Hey, isn't there
a storage compartment in here?
This is pure gin.
Just kidding. It's just water.
-How's everyone doing today?
-Awesome.
Thank you, guys. We're gonna start off,
show you how to operate these machines.
Everyone look at your handlebars for me.
There's a red button.
That's your kill switch.
We'll play in some meadows,
explore some trails,
then we'll have lunch up on the top.
-Does everyone feel comfortable?
-Yes, sir.
-Feel like they know what they're doing?
-Let's do this.
[engines revving]
[laughs]
[electronic music playing]
I'm gonna go left, left, left!
Whoa! It's hard with your weight
in the back.
Permission for a fly-by!
[synthesizer music]
[Justin] Oh [bleep]!
[Whitney] Why did we tip over?
To the hills!
Whoo!
-[engine running]
-Oh!
[Heather] Oh, Mama!
People might be feeling bad for me
'cause I'm a single rider,
but I feel bad for them.
[engine revs]
[electronic music playing]
[Heather] Cool rider ♪
A cool, cool, cool, cool rider ♪
Aah!
[upbeat electronic music]
Alright, if you wanna come over,
sit by the fire, eat some food.
Whoo.
-We survived.
-We made it.
Do I have lines all over my face?
-Yes.
-No.
[Whitney] I'm confused watching Meredith
and Seth be lovey-dovey, touchy-feely,
but Jen was just telling me
that she's possibly seeing someone else.
If you're not getting it from home,
you're going to go somewhere else.
What the? Like, this doesn't add up.
[Meredith laughs]
[gentle electronic music]
That was a lot of work, being bitch.
[Heather] You have to anticipate the lean.
How was Ms. Shah at anticipation?
-Well, she got better.
-She improved?
She became an expert.
She's like, "Honey, let's go."
She's like, "I know where
we need to be at now."
She just started leaning,
and you knew to turn?
-Here we go, here we go.
-Here we go.
I love seeing the Shahs together.
-'Cause Jen's a lot.
-[laughs]
We both can be a lot.
You gotta balance it out.
That's what John tells me, too.
I'm so happy when Sharrieff is with me,
and especially when he's with my friends.
I wish I had this more often.
I wish I had what my other friends have.
Like, their husbands or significant others
are with them all the time.
I don't get that,
and I wish II wish I had that.
[Lisa] So, how did you two meet?
I met my wife in college,
it was fantastic.
I'd never in my life, in my life,
seen anybody as pretty in my life.
-Aw.
-In my life.
And I said,
"Well, would you like to go out?"
She's like, "Yes, but I bring
my cousins with me."
-[laughter]
-These girls rolled deep.
You got 20 people with you.
You understand?
So how about we go dancing?
I'm there with 41 of her entourage,
members of her family.
You wanna dance with her?
I gotta make a way through other people.
I'm like, "Can I get with her?"
They're like, "Yeah, but we watching."
So I'm dancing real slow
and scared like "Hey."
-Keep a book in between.
-Keep a real
-Two or three books in between.
-[laughs]
Kept it in the friend zone,
the whole night zone.
I was like, damn, zone.
Nonetheless, I was like,
"You wanna go eat?"
She's like, "Yup, we do."
"The whole crew?" Ate it. Paid for dinner.
I'm like, "This is lovely."
Hope I get another date.
Because that was like the test.
If you accept my family
If she would've told me that,
that would've been good.
Yeah.
She had all of the power, bruh.
It wasn't even like a contested ball
I could get.
-Has anything changed?
-Has anything changed?
Nothing has changed, no.
It's impossible to have
two Jens in a relationship.
Jen would be divorced.
I think he's the yin to Jen's yang.
I feel like they balance each other well,
like he's just smooth,
and she's just like wow.
The thing that drew me to my wife
from the very beginning,
it was how sweet she was.
[record needle scratches]
Do you know your wife?
Okay, open your eyes
one more time at me like that.
-Like, don't.
-Open my eyes like what?
If you really like Mary and you like me,
bitch, vote.
You're gonna go with Mary,
who [bleep]ed her grandfather?
Love is truly blind.
You know how sriracha is a little sweet?
-But it's got a little spicy to it.
-You gotta be careful.
I like Tabasco sauce.
Man, that tastes good,
but you get too much of it,
you're like, "Damn, this hurt.
This don't feel good no more."
-This stings. I'm on fire!
-This burns.
Seth, how long are you here for?
-Uh, leaving Monday.
-Aw.
Well, we should all get together
because you're in town.
Sharrieff's home this weekend.
-I'm only home for, like, a day.
-Oh, my gosh.
-For a day.
-Are we killing your mojo?
No. Oh, no. That's gonna happen.
[laughter]
You understand. You understand me.
Oh, my gosh, I love it.
Yeah, that don't kill the mojo.
[laughter]
-Come to the house, visit a little bit.
-I'm in.
I have to go finish up
Georgia's birthday party.
-Handle it, handle it
-You know, just handling all the things.
We're not gonna make it.
We have a basketball game.
-We got a rivalry game.
-But thank you for the invite.
Yeah.
Thank you so much. That was so fun.
I'll be right there, babe.
-Hey, before you go
-Yeah.
I just have to fill you in on something.
-Right now?
-Yeah.
So, that was really interesting
to see Meredith and Seth
-all cuddly and lovey and
-Like the perfect couple.
I know. Makes you question what the heck
all this talk is about.
-What do you mean?
-Jen came over to my house.
-She said she's heard some things.
-Like Seth and Meredith?
Yeah. And I asked her what,
and she was just like, "Hmm."
-"You'll have to ask Meredith."
-Well, I'm not asking Meredith.
-[laughs]
-I'm not asking.
I just wanna know if you heard
anything from Jen about that.
Yeah, she she's mentioned it
to me, but I just
I'm not interested in even
learning anything about it
or knowing anything more.
So the other night after dinner,
Jen showed me pictures
of Meredith with another guy
that was not Seth
that looked like she was
in a relationship with,
and acted like this is a deep,
dark, dirty secret
that we're never gonna talk about
or never bring up again.
Even if they have some agreement
in their marriage,
it's not a big deal, you know?
It's not for us to say or judge
or even ask, I don't think.
And now with Whitney asking me
all these questions,
it's very clear to me that Jen
has not kept her word.
And it just makes me think,
"This is not how what friends do."
If it comes from Meredith, that's great.
If it doesn't, I could care less.
Don't ask, don't tell.
[triumphant electronic music]
I was interested to see how everybody
would be with their spouses.
It was fun. I-I really had a good time.
You did good, baby.
You were crazy on the snowmobile, though.
Honey, I told you
I wasn't gonna get too crazy.
-[knock on door]
-Come in!
Hello!
-Hello!
-Hi!
-I brought you a little
-Oh, my gosh. Thank you. Hi.
Hello, Shahs.
Can I get you something, buddy?
We got waters, juice.
I'm not a Mormon. Any, uh
-"I'm not a Mormon."
-Any adult beverages?
We have adult beverages, too.
-[Jen] Are you guys hungry?
-Oh, my gosh.
-I've been cooking hard.
-Yeah, right. [laughs]
-This looks amazing, Jen.
-Yes.
-I like a bite of everything.
-Fantastic.
Tell me everything I missed.
Did you see videos of the fashion show?
It looked great. It looked really pretty.
You looked gorgeous.
No Muslims drink liquor, alcohol?
No. No, sir. No alcohol.
No, sir. No pork, no alcohol.
Did you know Muslims had
the same rules around liquor as Mormons?
No.
-Caffeine?
-Oh, yeah, it's okay.
-Who's more restrictive?
-Man.
I don't know.
With ours, it's coffee, tea, alcohol,
tobacco, and drugs.
-Sex before marriage?
-Yeah, no.
-No?
-No.
Same deal as the Mormons. Multiple wives?
-Still permissible.
-Still permissible?
Is that permissible?
-It's not permissible.
-It is. [laughs]
Uh, this Jen's like, "My ears perked up."
Clearly.
You got enough right here with one wife.
One Jen Shah equals, like, 45 wives.
The question I do have is,
is there some religious prescription
that says you can't have
an alcohol company
and still practice?
Is that at odds
from a religious standpoint?
Um, I think it's such a personal,
um, view that I have on it.
Like, I don't ever look at our business
as a religious wrong.
Um, I think that when we first
started in the business,
a lot of people
would say things to us like,
"How can you be Mormon
and own an alcohol company?"
And I'm not a cultural Mormon.
I think that makes a big difference.
For me, religion's a choice.
I choose to be LDS.
And I think the way we choose
to be LDS is our choice.
I think that a lot of times
people are so focused
on the cultural side of being LDS
and rules,
and they forget about
what's really important.
The most important thing
is just my relationship with God.
God does not care
that I own a tequila company.
Is your position the same as your wife's
with regard to, you know, being LDS?
Yeah, I actually,
I don't have a problem with it at all.
I mean, it's I'm probably
more loose about it than Lisa.
I'm super spiritual.
[Jen] That is not the Mormon Church
or religion that I grew up with.
It's really not the Mormon Church.
It's like the Lisa Barlow church.
That's really what it is.
Everyone wants to put
the LDS faith in a box.
So it's like, "You're not gonna do
this, this, this, or this."
I'm saying, "This is my choice to be LDS."
If you joined the Jewish church with me,
we will put you in a chair
and have a party for you.
-[laughter]
-And have
put Vida all over the place.
We go to temple as Jews, honey,
not church.
-I'm just saying
-[laughs]
I'm gonna start a very
progressive Jewish church.
So, we're gonna do something fun.
-What are we gonna do?
-What?
We're gonna go get
in the hot tubthe girls.
After I just ate?
[laughter]
You guys can go upstairs or bond.
We're just gonna hang out.
Don't worry about that.
No, don't worry about it, please.
[whimsical music]
-Ahh!
-Ohh!
-I'm staying on the board.
-No, he's going off!
-Coming in hot!
-Ooh.
-Man.
-[laughter]
What happened to you?
I used to be a player.
So Sharrieff is home for, like, 24 hours.
-Yeah.
-Did he mind spending the day with us?
No, because I had told him we were going.
And I told Sharrieff. I was like,
"We need to have date night."
"We need to spend more time together."
Whoop!
-Ooh.
-Oh, no!
How long are you on the road
during recruiting?
To be honest, recruiting is all year long.
All year.
And I don't care how long you do it for,
your wife and your loved ones
never get used to it.
I know how I feel. I feel lonely
when Sharrieff's not here.
But when Omar is in college,
I'm like, wait a minute.
Like, realreality's gonna hit, you know?
I'm trying to figure out
what can I do now, you know,
to do the right thing.
My wife works probably harder than I do
in terms of the number of hours.
The bad thing about my job
is that I'm tethered to a location.
I'm at a facility. My wife may
be traveling around the world,
talking to other
business marketers, advertisers.
When she's gone, she says,
"I'm so upset because you're not here."
Honey, when I am here, you're not here.
-Yeah.
-Yeah. Right?
-I am in that exact dynamic.
-Right? But
-Yeah.
-If the argument is,
"When you're home,
you're doing too many things,
not spending time with me,"
-I would understand that.
-Yeah.
That's different. But to place more weight
on when I'm gone versus when you're gone.
That's tough.
We have our own business together,
-so it's Lisa and I
-Absolutely.
doing the business with Vida.
How many days a year
do you physically see her?
We see each other quite a bit, but it's
a matter of if we actually see each other.
-Exactly right.
-Do you know what I mean?
-We're in the same room.
-Right.
-Like, I'll-I'll
-She'll ask me
-If you get eye contact?
-Yeah, she'll ask me
to drive her to go get a Diet Coke
so that she can work,
and it makes her feel like
we're together. [laughs]
When it comes to us and our marriage,
I expect John to take care of me,
like, emotionally,
in every single capacity.
I'm like, "That's your job."
One of my goals for this year was
to listen when Lisa's "teaching" me.
The constructive criticism.
'Cause I get defensive.
But I think with goals,
where I've struggled,
personally, I can set my own goals,
but I think setting goals together
is kinda difficult.
You and I are both guilty of,
you know, work's first.
-Always.
-You know, kids are next.
You and me are down here,
and actually enjoying ourselves
are at the very bottom.
And I think that's something I need
to try and work on with Lisa.
-Yeah.
-Not just goals for business.
-Right.
-That's easy.
-Personal growth.
-Personal goals.
We all are in the same situation.
-We all have
-I'm super [bleep] up.
[laughter]
My wife is super reactionary.
Her first statements. I'm like, "Really?"
You gotta let it go. You have to.
That's a hard lesson to learn.
That's been the biggest thing for me,
'cause I'm not gon' throw it at you
if I don't mean it.
I'm not gonna say it
for shock value. She does.
-No, same.
-Just to zing me.
I'm like, "You're cutting me that deep?"
"With a dull butter knife,
you're cutting me that deep?"
-Yeah.
-Like, I'm trying to be a good father.
You know what I'm saying?
I wanna be a good husband.
Damn, why you on me like this?
[dramatic music]
[intriguing music]
I'm trying to be a good father.
You know what I'm saying?
I wanna be a good husband.
Damn, why you on me like this?
What I can tell you,
being in the place I'm in now,
there are small things
that make a difference.
Maybe he says,
"Sure, it's important to me that you
travel with me
'x' number of days per month,"
and you say, "Well, it's important to me
that you're here or wherever,
'x' number of days."
I try to ask him to travel with me,
but he, like, his job is so
-It's hard!
-insane.
He couldn't even go to Dad's funeral.
[gasps] That's hard.
I feel like I'm asked to pretend like
it doesn't hurt my feelings, but it does.
But you have to express that.
By the time I express it,
I blow up everything around me.
Which means you're holding it in.
You have to talk about it.
I've had some issues, and everybody has
if you've been married.
-I told my wife
-If you haven't then it's not real.
'Cause marriage, you have to fight for it.
If you're not willing
to fight for your marriage,
-then why be married?
-Yeah.
We can all just throw our hands up,
but to say, "Okay, let me look at myself."
-Yeah.
-"I'm kinda messed up here."
Then it's like they're giving you
a taste of your own medicine
Every day right back at you,
right back at you.
When you have these
alpha entrepreneurial women
like we're married to, you're married to,
can you have a new modernized relationship
where you're married, but have
more of an autonomous, like, relationship?
That's what I think I'm, like, developing,
this new kind of relationship
where I haven't seen her
-in almost a month.
-Yeah.
But when I see her,
it's like 25 years ago,
that feeling you get when you saw her.
-Yeah.
-When it was, like, crazy.
You know? For me, it makes me
appreciate my wife more.
I hear that.
Are you so happy
Seth is here this weekend?
Yes. So good to have him here.
It really is.
Would you die if he was
with somebody else?
I would be I would be upset for sure.
Is the separation like
you guys are working towards
getting back together?
You know what I mean? Or you don't know.
I am feeling really confident and positive
about Seth and I
and our marriage moving forward,
and working this through,
but I don't really need
to tell anyone that yet,
because what if I'm wrong?
I'll let them know
when I am really confident,
and that'll be
the right time to tell them.
Seth and I, I feel, are heading
in a very, very positive direction.
We are both very committed
to our marriage right now,
to our relationship, to making this work.
[Jen] I'm opening myself up to Meredith
in hopes that she will see this
and realize, like,
you know, you can be vulnerable
and you can share
and talk to me about this,
but it's almost like Meredith
is acting like her life's perfect,
and I'm the only one that's messed up.
We love each other.
We have the same common goal,
which is just to be happy together,
treat each other properly,
to communicate with each other properly,
and that's that.
[Meredith] Next time on
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
-Oh my gosh.
-[laughs]
-They are so cute.
-He just left with a fish.
-Cheers.
-[Brooks] Wait.
I am in the bedroom below you guys.
-So if you do have sex
-Okay, we're
-Don't.
-We're observing Mormon laws.
I wanna get my second piercings in
like Ash.
How do you feel about double piercings?
I'm okay with it,
but if you get a tattoo, I
She already got a tattoo.
Jen has a surprise hip-hop party
for her husband.
But I'm not invited.
Yeah, I understand, but
what are you doing?
Oh, please don't be crying
about nothing like that.
[Jen] Tonight is about
celebrating Sharrieff.
[cheering]
Whoa, whoa, ohh!
I'm coming to you with a little tea.
-Mary did tell me that
-That Meredith and Lisa
-They're afraid of you.
-Look at me.
They're talking [bleep]
behind my back to Mary?!
Shut the [bleep] up about Mary!
[Jen] I don't give a [bleep]!
