Buying Beverly Hills (2022) s02e08 Episode Script

[upbeat music playing]
You have been saying
we would be business suicide
if we were to take over
the company one day.
I never used those words. Never.
You guys can run the Umansky Team.
I just can run a business,
which is what I do
in my office every single day
But you don't do that
by talking shit about us.
Yeah, exactly.
-You're putting us down. That's rude.
-These are two Oh.
[Alexia] "Business suicide"?
That's a really dark and deep
and rude, rude, rude thing
to say about somebody.
You're talking about
two young women professionals.
For someone who puts herself
out there as a girls' girl,
this is not what a girls' girl does.
It seems like there isn't really
a space for another female,
and I want to gun for that opportunity.
I'm not saying
[Farrah] You do it
by stepping over people.
Why not just continue to shine on yourself
and not tear other women down?
I'm not tearing any women down.
[Farrah] You are because you're saying
That's so condescending.
It could've gone such a different way
where women were supporting women.
Hey, maybe we all
could have worked together.
Well, that's out the window now.
I want you to succeed because
You don't. You want us to succeed
at the Umansky
so you can take over The Agency.
What else are we supposed to think?
I mean, with all due respect,
that's business.
I'm not trying to knock you down to do it.
-[Farrah] Sounds like you were.
-I'm trying to position myself.
That's fine, position away,
but you are trying to knock us down.
If you're not even there
and don't want to do it anyway,
how is it knocking you down?
-We didn't say we didn't.
-Who said that?
Who said that?
No one's taking over the company tomorrow.
We didn't say we don't want to do it.
-Do you want to?
-Maybe I do.
I think I could, if I wanted to.
Okay.
My jaw is literally so low on the floor,
I can't even find it anymore.
I feel like I've been tricked.
I feel like she's been watching me
with ill intent.
It's fucking despicable.
I can walk into a room of suits,
and I can command the room.
You're a bit young to be talking
about you walking in and taking over.
You've never seen me
in a room of people with suits on. I can.
I have, and I will.
I'm just getting started.
I have commanded a role
I I No, I see the role
that you've earned,
but, meanwhile, in doing that,
you're putting down
other women in business.
[Farrah] Tearing people down
to get to the top
is not exactly
how we operate at The Agency,
and I just don't see
how that's going to serve her.
I don't sit back and wait for things
to happen to me or for me.
-I make them happen for myself.
-Yeah, in a conniving, thirsty way.
[music sting]
[Michelle] I tend to disagree, but
[Farrah] This is
how you get your way in life.
-Okay. Great.
-[Alexia] Okay.
-Okay. Let's go.
-I want to get out of here.
Michelle, great event today.
I'm not putting down women in business.
I'm making an observation about them,
not women.
-We'll talk about this another time.
-Bye.
[Michelle] I think
it might be the tough love
Farrah and Alexia need to hear.
You know, you can't take the heat,
get out of the kitchen.
You can't be soft,
and I'm not going to tailor my words
to make sure that, like,
they're coddled and feeling okay
about the way that I'm feeling.
You guys are the worst.
You guys are the fucking worst.
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music fades out]
[muffled conversations]
-[Ben] Is he okay?
-[Alexia] Oh, he does that.
I mean, he's comfortable here.
This is his place. This is his zone.
[Ben] Okay, it's making me
a little uncomfortable
if the CEO is here
melting down on his couch.
[laughs]
No, seriously.
What is Gandhi doing in there?
[Alexia] He's stressed.
He does this when he's stressed.
I think Aspen's gonna be good for him.
-That's his happy place.
-I can't wait.
Oh, wait. I was not invited.
I have one listing
not sell in over a decade,
and I'm, like, off the trip list.
It's awesome.
No. It's not like that.
I heard it was like that, actually.
[Ben] What is it about?
It's, you know, it's just like It's a way
to get this younger group together.
Okay. That, to me, that's
I would be more offended
It's ageism.
I'd be more offended by that
[Ben] Oh my gosh.
Who's coming?
So, it's going to be Tyler,
Brandon, Sophia, and Melissa.
I've heard cold-calling is not fun.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
It's definitely not fun.
Okay.
Be prepared for people to, like,
cuss us out on the phone. So
Sonika's here.
-Oh. Hello.
-Hello.
[Tyler] Whatcha doing here?
Just the uzhe. I hear there's
some stuff going on over here.
We just decided
to do a cold-calling session
'cause she thought it'd be a good idea
to learn from some other agents
other than family.
Like, can I join?
-Yeah. Join us.
-Can I? Is that cool?
-[Tyler] Pull up a chair.
-[Sophia] Come join us.
[Tyler] What's your experience
with cold-calling?
[Sonika] It scares the crap out of me.
Yeah, the number one
most important rule of cold-calling,
do not call Michelle Schwartz's
past clients or family members.
[Sonika] Yeah. [chuckles]
So, did you end up talking
with Michelle at Green Meadow?
Yeah, we did. It was extremely awkward
and uncomfortable.
First of all, she said something like,
"Oh, you really think
that you could be in a room of suits
and command their attention?"
And I was just like, "Wow."
She also denied
the business suicide comment.
[Ben] Mm.
And obviously,
we're going to believe you guys
because the two of you
are super close to us,
and it makes no sense,
but half the time I was so
[inhales] scared. [laughs]
'Cause she looked really
[whispers] scary.
Like, really scary.
Like, she had this situation.
The sun was beaming in her eyes.
Her eyes were so blue.
She had, like, pink
or purple eye shadow, like, literally,
and her hair was pulling her eyes back.
I mean, with all due respect,
that's business.
I feel like I remember that look.
[shivers]
[Alexia] She kept trying
to prove her point,
and by doing so,
she kept insulting us and our work ethic.
[man] Hello?
Hi, this is Sophia Umansky
calling with The Agency.
I have a client
that's looking for a condo in your area,
and your property is on a very short list
of homes that meet her needs.
So, I was just calling to ask
if you're interested
in making a move anytime soon.
[man laughs]
Did my ex-wife put you up to this?
[gasps]
-Did she?
-[Sonika] Feel like
-Say no.
-[Sophia] No.
You caught me off guard.
I think about selling the house,
but I'm on the fence, I'm not saying no.
-[whispering] Say, "What's your timeline?"
-Um, what does your timeline look like?
Well, I figure I probably got
at least another 20 years or so.
Okay.
Well, that won't work for our client,
but would it be okay
if I send you all of my information,
and let me know if you're ever interested
in making a move?
-Yeah, we'll go from there. Bye.
-[Sophia] Bye.
That was unreal. That was really good.
-You did such a good job.
-[Tyler] That was really good.
The way that conversation started,
I literally thought
-[Sonika] The ex-wife
-I almost hung up.
I know.
I feel like we got, like, uh
"Well, I'm right, you're wrong.
I don't think you have this capability."
We were just like, "You know what? Cool."
We walked away.
Um, have you
have you said anything yet, or no?
[Alexia] No.
I don't know. I just feel
I don't want to add more on his plate.
I think you really
should speak with Mauricio.
[tense music playing]
[Ben] If she was humble and apologetic
about the things she said,
maybe she had some personal things
going on, fine. You know
No, honestly, she really doubled down
on it and really, like, she was just like
[sighs]
I'll tell him. I just feel like
maybe I should after Aspen,
because I feel like he just
As you can see,
he needs a little break right now.
[inhales deeply]
[breathes out]
[upbeat music playing]
[Brandon P.] Go off, boys.
[Brandon P.] Bro, this looks amazing.
-[Joshua] Wow.
-[Brandon P.] Pristine.
-Looks great.
-[Joey] Let's start the setup.
-[Brandon P.] Showtime.
-Let's do it.
The Colgate listing
is a BZP Group exclusive listing.
This property is incredible,
in the heart of Beverly Grove.
You have walls of glass,
natural light flooding every single space,
a pool, an alfresco dining area,
and it's the true form
of California living.
Isn't this a good backdrop for this?
It looks amazing.
-[woman] Hey, guys.
-[Joey] Oh God.
We're gonna need a fourth glass.
[woman] So crazy seeing you guys here.
-What's up, queen?
-Yeah.
Sophia's an influencer
that's become a friend and a client.
Her brother was actually
in my frat back in Wisconsin.
Bit different than the pregame setup
we usually have.
-Yeah. You're trying to sell something.
-There's usually Solo cups, not glassware.
-And, like, a bunch of tequila.
-I know. What a transition.
[Joey] We have some good wine.
We've been to the house before
at a completely different capacity,
partying and drinking.
I actually came once
after a party to help clean up,
uh, because I'm a good man.
-What is the turnout gonna be like?
-We have 50 strong leads that are coming.
-Fifty? Wow.
-[Joshua] Yeah.
We wanted a group of people
that would actually have
genuine interest in this.
-Yeah, not just like an open bar.
-No.
[upbeat electronic music playing]
[Brandon P.] Tyler.
Or should I say Mrs. President?
-You look like
-First Lady?
Or Mrs Actually, no, I'm president.
[Joey] A more attractive Hillary Clinton.
-[Tyler] How are you?
-Good. You?
[Adam] What's up?
-[laughs] Really?
-Yeah.
-I'm so down. Actually?
-Are you?
-Wow.
-Wow, man. This is great.
-[Joey] This is Sophia.
-How are you?
-Sophia. Nice to meet you.
-Adam.
Adam. Pleasure. One of my favorite names.
-Joey, I want the tour.
-I'll give you the tour.
First-class service, please.
Obviously,
incredible outdoor living areas.
You have infinity edge pool,
and it just feels like
one big continuation.
Open-concept kitchen
that flows organically into your living.
-A great space.
-[Adam] Are these your team hats?
-[Joey] Yeah.
-No joke, I would rock this for you.
I would.
If you work hard enough,
you might be able to.
I appreciate that.
-[Joey] Let's go upstairs.
-[both laugh]
[Joey] Got the bubble chandelier,
which I think is such a great feature.
Natural light coming
from literally every angle,
and the scale is so rare to find,
I feel like, in a primary bedroom.
[Adam] This is actually an awesome space.
The design is super eclectic,
but it's kinda cool.
So, straight-up, I may have
a buyer for this, interestingly enough.
She's been recently
wildly successful in OnlyFans.
Yeah, so she's come into some capital,
wants to start making smart investments.
It doesn't surprise me at all
that Adam, of all beautiful men,
is working with an OnlyFans creator.
Artist. OnlyFans artist.
You gotta get your buyer in quick.
I'll do what I can.
Speaking of OnlyFans,
feels like I'm your only fan.
[Adam] Buddy.
-[Joey] Oh, Benny boy.
-[Tyler] How are you?
I just threw this thing together.
-[Brandon] You look cute. Pretty in pink.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Hi. Hello.
-How are you?
-[Alexia] Good. You?
[Ben, Alexia] Nice to see you.
Guys, all the colors are being represented
in this conversation.
-Count on me to be in black.
-The Umansky girls are here.
-It's a color splash.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
Cheer Do you want a sip of this?
-No, I'm okay.
-Okay.
Such a nice listing.
Congratulations, you guys.
Thank you.
Are you offended that you're not on this?
[tense string music playing]
-No.
-[Joey] Okay. No, I just wanna
Alexia, do you know the seller?
She's in the friend group.
So there's no weirdness at all
that you're not on the listing?
Other than the weirdness
she's making right now, not really.
Yeah, I think you started that.
I'm chilling.
Am I shocked to receive another
backhanded comment from Joey?
No, I'm not.
All right, let me show you
a primary bedroom
with all the natural light imaginable.
We talked at sushi.
Have you spoken to Alexia about
-About what Joey said?
-[Brandon] Yeah.
I haven't found the right time yet.
And I know that she gets
actually affected by that stuff.
So I've been waiting for a moment
where I don't think
she's gonna freak out or be so upset.
I think Joey 100% crossed a line
saying that he only puts
Alexia on listings
so he can knock it back one more time.
It's weird. It's rude. It's disrespectful.
He's messed up a few times with Alexia,
and I don't think
she is going to forgive him this time.
[Tyler] Here we are, all at work.
Jake is here, Joey's here.
You're acting like everything's fine.
Meanwhile, we know what Joey said.
If only all of them knew.
Obviously, this is not
the time and place to say anything.
He has no idea
that you've said anything to us
because even when he walked up
to that conversation,
he's like, "Alexia, are you mad
I didn't put you on this listing with me?"
-[Tyler] Oh. Hm. Yeah.
-Just
-Stop.
-[Brandon] Awkward.
It's upsetting,
we're on a good page with you.
Why are you trying to mess it up?
He says stuff
for shock value purposes only.
He doesn't care about what words
are coming out of his mouth.
He wants to get a rise out of people.
-Which is not very smart. At all, yeah.
-[Tyler] No!
-It won't serve him well in this business.
-[Brandon] Be responsible.
Once she knows what he said,
how are they going to work together again?
[Tyler] Ugh.
Ugh, Joey.
Wait, so he is going to Aspen?
Yes. I don't know if I'm going
to tell her before we leave.
We leave so soon now, I don't know.
Don't ruin the trip.
I've never been to fucking Aspen before.
Don't ruin the trip.
-If you do it, tell her on the last day.
-I know.
[upbeat catchy music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, Ben.
Hey, what's going on?
Um, nothing. I just got to Maravilla.
I have one showing for this afternoon, um
which I really hope goes well
because we just had two open houses
Saturday and Sunday,
and I was hoping
for more traffic after that reduction.
-No one serious from two opens?
-I know.
$500,000 under what our client
bought it for?
That's I'm kind of freaking out.
At $4 million,
Maravilla is a scream of a deal.
Considering the seller bought it for 4.5.
I mean, this is listed
for half a million less than what he paid,
and he's improved it.
So if it doesn't sell now, like,
maybe Tyler's off the team.
When is the showing?
Um, they'll be here in,
like, five minutes.
Oh, I'm kind of in the hood.
Maybe I'll come by in a little.
Okay. See you soon.
The pressure is really on
to sell Maravilla.
I mean, I have a family.
I have a daughter and a dog and a husband.
And we need the money, okay?
Like, let's be honest.
-Hi, guys.
-[woman] Hi.
-How are you? I'm Tyler.
-Hi. Jennie.
-Nice to meet you. Hi.
-Hi. I'm Peri. Nice to meet you.
Tyler. Nice to meet you.
Thanks for coming by today.
Welcome to Maravilla.
First of all, Outpost Estates
is a really special enclave
of the Hollywood Hills.
There is wider streets,
buried power lines,
which is one of the reasons
this view is so unobstructed and clear.
So, because you've got the city
and the lush greenery,
it's the best of both worlds.
So, I'm going to take you guys
downstairs for a little tour.
-Perfect.
-Sounds good.
[upbeat music playing]
[Tyler] So, this is the primary suite.
Very spacious.
Double-door entry.
Of course, the amazing view follows you
in every single room in this house.
-Can I check it out?
-[Tyler] Yeah, so pretty spacious closet.
You've got a cedar wood section
of the closet,
which is great for your wool and cashmere.
All right, let's go downstairs.
So, the lower level
is really a flex space.
Could be a gym, an entertainment space.
So you've got your hot tub, your pool,
which is long enough to swim laps.
The view's beautiful.
-It really never gets old.
-[Peri] Right. Never gets old.
[Tyler] Now, what's great about this lot
is it's enough space that you don't feel
or see your neighbors.
It gives you
some nice insulation and privacy,
and no one's ever gonna build
and block your view.
-Ready to go back up?
-[Peri] Yep.
[Tyler] What do you think?
Wow. I was wondering if you guys have
any type of offer in the moment?
No offers yet. But the price is 3.999.
We just dropped it $500,000 from 4.5.
So it really is a steal. I mean,
it's a really good value at this price.
It's a little smaller
than you wanted, but
you have amazing view,
which makes it more open layout.
These views never get old. Hey.
-Hi.
-How's it going?
-Nice of you to join us.
-Thank you.
-Hi, nice to meet you. Jennie.
-Ben.
Nice to meet you.
-I'm Peri.
-Nice to meet you.
So, what did you think of the house?
It's a bit smaller
than what I was thinking.
Is it just for you?
-Yeah. Pretty much.
-It's 4,000 square feet.
-How much space do you need?
-[Jennie] It's the perfect size.
Great for entertaining,
and it's a very open layout,
and you cannot get
a better view than this, Peri.
As agents, we see it all,
and we can tell you with confidence
that this is one of the best,
if not the best, view you're gonna get.
-And at night, it is
-[Peri] Amazing. Yes.
-Electric.
-[Peri] What do you think?
You like to entertain,
I think it's gonna be perfect for you.
It's a little bit smaller than we thought,
but after you guys
dropped a little bit the price,
I think we're pretty comfortable
over here, like,
ready to make you guys
an offer for 3.9 million,
twenty-one-day closing.
We know it's been
in the market for a minute.
I think that's
what we're willing to do, 3.9 million.
-Maybe you can give it to your client.
-I mean, that's not gonna get it done.
We know where the seller is.
It's going to be four million or no deal.
Okay.
Let me talk to my client,
and we'll have a discussion,
and let you know in a minute.
-Okay. Sure.
-[Peri] Let's talk about it.
[tense music playing]
Dude, did we just fuck up?
I mean, okay. I hope they come back
with something better. But
We just let them walk out the door.
-I'm really nervous right now.
-I know. I'm super nervous.
Over 100K.
I am nervous.
But the seller told Tyler and I,
"If I go to this number, do not bring me
anything below four million."
So I'm not.
And 3.9 is so close,
I'm willing to gamble.
Okay. Hi.
Uh [exhales]
So, what do you think?
When I'm thinking about it,
I'm gonna be honest,
just because it's just, like,
once-in-a-lifetime view,
and you guys already reduced 500K.
Uh, it's it's a great house.
Just can't say no to this.
You know what, let's just do it.
We'll take it for four million.
-[Jennie, Tyler] Let's do it.
-Congrats.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Yes, finally!
And I really am so happy for Tyler.
This is such a sweet one,
particularly in the shadow of Sierra Mar.
-Thank you.
-[Ben] We'll talk soon.
-Thank you. Bye-bye.
-[Ben] Thank you.
-[exhales gently]
-[doors shuts]
Well, never doubted that for a second.
[upbeat rock music playing]
-Nice work.
-[grunts]
-[Mauricio] What's up?
-[Alexia] Hi.
-[Nick] How you doing?
-I hadn't seen these hats.
[Nick] Good to see you guys.
-Good to see you, everyone.
-[Mauricio] I like these new hats.
-[man] Isn't it great?
-Yeah, this is bitchin'.
I've been going to Aspen
since I was 12 years old.
It's my second home,
and Aspen real estate is unbelievable.
-The pricing is insane right now.
-Insane.
The good thing about Aspen is the sellers
All the homeowners are so wealthy
that nobody, like, you know,
it's like, doesn't matter.
We just passed a house next to our house
when we were here last time,
and it was worth $29 million
on the corner.
I love Aspen.
It's one of my favorite places.
My happy place in the world.
It is where the billionaires
of the United States of America gather,
and it is a super luxurious town.
I think that when I finally do retire,
Aspen is one of the places
I will be living in.
We love it here.
Not one of our friends
that's coming has been here
when it's so green and luscious.
It's gonna be a good experience
for them to get in it.
[Mauricio] Talking about that,
I have a friend of mine
who owns a amazing ranch,
down valley.
It's super extraordinary.
It just has everything.
It's 300 acres, complete Yellowstone vibe.
Five-star, like, chartering a yacht.
He only wants us to lease the property out
six weeks a year,
and we're talking about
$250,000 a week. Okay?
I think it would be a really fun listing
for us to "exclusively"
give it to our clients.
This is a great offer
and a great offering.
The way The Agency makes money on this
is that we charge on short-term leases
22% of the rental rate.
So despite the fact
that it's only six weeks a year,
22% is $50,000 a week.
So it's still a really nice
commission for The Agency.
I was thinking not only is it good
for a select few families,
but also even, like,
for corporate retreats.
Yeah, amazing.
[Sophia] So are we gonna get
to go see it this trip?
-Yay. That's so awesome.
-So exciting.
-Yeah.
-Giddyap.
[upbeat electronic music playing]
[Ben] Hi. I was just turning stuff on.
-[Tyler] Hi. I can help you.
-[Ben] Come on in.
-[Tyler] Ah, I love this house.
-[Ben] Pretty sick.
It's really well done.
Are you buying this house?
[Tyler] I would. It's a good one.
This house sells itself, I think.
We're in a great spot in Santa Monica,
-and this was built for owner-user.
-[Tyler] Yeah.
My close friend once told me
if deals aren't falling apart,
you're not in the business,
and Sierra Mar was part of that.
But then we sell Maravilla,
and now we are
going to sell Princeton so fast.
It's an incredible modern
right by the beach.
The floors, like,
the variation in plank size,
they just wouldn't do that in a spec.
[Ben] Princeton was built
by an owner-user to live in,
so all of the finishes, you experience it
the second you cross
the threshold of the front door.
We signed this listing at a bit
of a higher price than what I wanted to,
but we still have the lowest inventory
in town in Santa Monica.
Yeah. This is definitely a home
that would be conducive to a family.
-[Ben] Mm.
-So I do think the value is justified.
-Oh, yeah. Hello!
-[Tyler] Hey. Oh my God. They're matching.
Yes. If it isn't the Marlboro Men.
Oh my God.
[Ben] Did you guys ride horses here?
-[Niko] How are you?
-Thank you for coming.
Thanks for coming, guys.
-Of course. Thanks for showing us.
-Yeah.
New listing,
kind of organic modern of sorts.
As we know, modern really is
the child of mid-century modern.
Normally when you walk into
a modern house for sale,
it's just, like, glass.
And I just, like,
love all of these architectural details.
[Tyler] And I love this light fixture
with a skylight overhead.
[Ben] Let's go take a look
at the bedrooms upstairs.
The primary's sick.
Oh, look who it is.
If it's not the Umansky Team graveyard,
late per usual.
What is it with you two?
You're never on time to anything.
-Too much business to be on time.
-[Joey] What are you hopped up on today?
[laughter]
[Terek] The quality, the scale,
the ceiling height. It's great.
[Ben] And the steam shower, dual vanity.
It's fully equipped.
[Joey] Yeah.
And you'll see here the master closet,
it's like a small retail space.
[Joey] This is actually
-An insane closet for a home like this.
-[Tyler] Right?
-[Ben] Wanna see the backyard?
-[Terek] Let's do it.
-Yo, this guesthouse.
-It's a massive ADU.
There's two parking spaces in here.
It comes with solar.
Owned solar, not rented.
That's right. Its owned solar. Thank you.
And the rooftop deck is insane.
[Joey] I'd love to check that out.
Maybe one day when you get here on time,
we can accommodate that.
I hope you guys will bring some buyers,
and we can sell this quickly.
-[Terek] Yeah.
-All right, guys, get out of here.
-Thank you for coming by. Good to see you.
-Good to see you.
-Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Thank you.
-[Tyler] Bye.
-See you.
-[Niko] See you.
-[Ben] You guys want to sit here?
-Yeah.
Hang out a little bit.
-Let's do it.
-[Joey] Chat?
Yeah. Are you guys excited for Aspen?
I'm nervous.
I mean, like, when this news broke,
it was insane
hearing about Mauricio and Kyle.
My phone lit up like a Christmas tree.
It's been a crazy 24 hours.
People Magazine drop this bomb
that Mauricio and Kyle
are getting separated.
I mean, we get wild news alerts
all the time,
but it just hits different
when it's people you know.
And now we're about to
We're about to go and land
in the middle of, like, their house.
Like, the whole family is there.
"Hey, guys."
Never been more excited
to not go on a trip.
Yeah. I mean, I want to take
Let's take us out of it for a second,
it's gonna be awkward for us.
But, like, I've just
My heart goes out to them,
and what they're dealing with.
Did you reach out to them at all?
I did not reach out, and I'm like,
I probably should have texted them.
Everyone's hitting them up about it.
It just I really feel bad for them.
You know, it's got to be a lot of pain
if someone that's close to them
is taking this to People.
People isn't known
for publishing false stories.
I think I've known Mauricio and Kyle
for 12 years.
I mean, you can never judge
a relationship from the surface,
but I feel like
I scratched beyond the surface,
and I was blindsided by it,
and there's no way to just casually act
like it's not happening.
Everyone knows,
so it's going to be a weird situation
walking into that door.
Regardless of the outcome,
it's just such an unfortunate situation,
and, like, no one wins
with all of this just, like, media frenzy.
They're not the type of family
to let shit like this affect them either,
but they are human.
Mm-hmm.
I guess we'll see.
If this ends up being true,
it's, you know,
it is really kind of a shock.
Yeah.
[melancholy piano music playing]
[tense music playing]
-[Farrah] Where's Mom and Portia?
-[Sophia] Mom and Portia rode into town.
-She just said she's stopping at Hermès.
-That woman. She'll be there for hours.
I know. They're like, "They don't let
anyone walk into Hermès."
[Farrah] Who said it?
-[Sophia] Someone in another store.
-[Alexia] Yeah.
-And telling that to who?
-[Alexia] To Mom.
And Mom obviously took
that as a challenge.
-Yeah.
-[Farrah] Of course she did.
-What a challenge. What about Portia?
-[Alexia] I know.
She's probably heading back right now.
-Yeah.
-[Farrah] By herself?
Yeah. She always rides around
on her bike wherever.
[Alexia] But once they get back,
I want to get a little comfier for dinner.
Dad's barbecuing tonight.
-Dad, what else is for dinner?
-Where is he?
Tonight we're going to prepare,
uh, barbecue chicken,
pasta, salad
[Farrah, Sophia] Sausage?
[Mauricio] Sausage.
[Alexia] I first found out
about the article
when my family and I
were paddleboarding in Aspen,
and I see my mom look at her phone,
and I see her face shift,
and I see this kind of panic
come over her,
and then my dad came out and he just had
phone call, text message,
phone call, text message.
[Mauricio] You guys,
what time are we having dinner?
[Sophia] You're the one cooking,
you tell us.
They're not separated,
or as far as I know, they're not.
And I was like, "Oh my God,
is there something I don't know?"
I'm gonna get cozy so we can start
eating dinner soon. I'm hungry.
What makes this time different
is that there is actually
some truth to what's being said.
Cozy-ish.
Okay. I'm going to put on
something cozy too.
It's a little awkward right now.
We all know that
this People Magazine article came out,
but we have not talked about it yet.
Honestly, I don't even know
if we are going to talk about it.
We tend to brush things under the rug.
We don't really discuss difficult things,
and we just don't know really
how to communicate in that regard.
[lighthearted music playing]
[Farrah] Mom!
Yes?
Where's What do you have in there?
Ooh! Oh my God. Did you get us prezzies?
-[Farrah] Did you get us prezzies?
-[Kyle] No.
[Alexia] Ooh! I knew
you were gonna get something.
-Guys. I don't want your dad to see.
-I wanna see. I wanna see.
-Wait, show us.
-Wait, not one, but two?
[Kyle] I don't wanna hear about it.
[Alexia] Mom?
[Sophia] She always does this every time.
-[Kyle] Where is he?
-In there. In there.
[Kyle] Hi.
[Farrah] She's like
[whispering] Don't draw attention to it.
-[Kyle] What are we having for dinner?
-Sausage.
Let me put my bag away,
and then we can start cooking.
I also want to change.
I feel gross from getting up that hill.
-With all of your Hermès bags?
-The what?
-[Sophia] What are you talking about?
-What are you talking about?
[Mauricio] Before the news broke,
we had really not talked
about the issues with the family.
We had kind of kept it secret,
not secret, but away from the kids.
I can't imagine the moment, you know,
when you think your parents
are divorcing and separating
and you hear it
from somebody other than your parents.
Like, that would just be
a devastating thing.
[Kyle] Where is this colander? What?
So, I think, you know,
since we're having dinner tonight,
I think it's really wise
that we talk to the girls
about the news that came out.
Since Farrah's just landed.
Don't you think?
It was important they're all here.
[Mauricio] You know,
we've been apart a lot.
I've never traveled as much
as I'm traveling right now
in my entire life.
[tense music playing]
Right?
We are just looking at things differently.
She's really chosen
a super healthy lifestyle.
She's completely stopped drinking.
Kyle is wanting to be home,
wanting me to, uh,
you, know, not be the big,
you know, uh, personality that I am,
then partying and having fun
and getting home late.
[Kyle] I just don't want that life at all.
-You know?
-Right.
I'd rather be here on the river
with my paddleboard.
[Mauricio] I'm still a very social person.
I am not ready to, you know,
to slow that part of my life,
you know, down right now.
[Kyle] Unfortunately
this is part of being in the spotlight.
[Mauricio] Yeah.
-[Kyle] The bigger girls know a bit.
-[Mauricio] You've told them some stuff?
Well, not only that.
People can feel when energy is off.
-100%. 100%.
-Our girls are smart.
It's our bad that we haven't said
anything before that, like, properly.
Right.
Because then it makes them feel like
we're hiding something.
-You know what does bother me?
-[Mauricio] What?
Like, I read some things saying, like,
"Oh, you know, they were, like,
pretending that they were ever happy."
-Well, that's I mean, who gives a shit?
-[Kyle] I do.
Wait, are we supposed to be
offering to chop and stuff now?
-[Portia] What?
-[Sophia] Do you need help?
-[Mauricio] No, thank you.
-Perf.
You pretended for 27 years?
That's real. That doesn't mean,
because we're having a hard time now,
that our happy times weren't real.
The only thing
that I'm happy about is that, you know,
it was you having the affair,
not me this time. So [laughs]
Hey, I don't
I'm actually glad about that too.
I don't even Good.
Better me than you again.
Way better you.
I'm done with that. [laughs]
So, Morgan Wade's a country star.
There's a lot of rumors
that are going around
that Kyle's sleeping around with Morgan.
I don't believe she's got
anything going on with Morgan.
Maybe I'm the only dumbass that doesn't,
but I don't believe she does have
anything going on with Morgan.
I don't believe it.
-[Kyle] Why didn't you put tinfoil first?
-[Mauricio] I already put the oil.
No, it's not,
because it's easy to wipe off.
It's harder when it's burned,
and it'll be a whole thing
I don't want to clean.
I'm not going to burn it,
and I'll clean it.
Okay.
-[Kyle] I need an apron. Haha.
-[Mauricio] That's mine.
-I'm wearing it because my shirt
-I'm getting that.
I'm getting that in the divorce.
It's my apron. You can borrow it for now.
You can have it.
You can borrow it for now.
-That's all you're getting. Just kidding.
-[Mauricio laughs]
[Kyle] Dinner is ready.
I'm so hungry.
-[Mauricio] All right.
-I'm hungry.
[dog barks]
-We have a lot of food, guys.
-[Alexia] Yay.
[Mauricio] This food looks so beautiful.
Thank you.
-Thank you, guys, for dinner.
-[Mauricio] Bon appétit.
Honey, will you please
serve me some pasta here?
"Pastee"?
-[Mauricio] Just a little bit.
-Well, it's
Are your friends coming tomorrow?
Mm-hmm.
-[Farrah] Melissa's coming too.
-Who all's coming?
-Melissa Brandon, Tyler, and Joey.
-Tyler.
Yeah.
-Where's everyone staying?
-[Alexia] Here.
-[Kyle] Everyone here?
-[Alexia] Yeah.
[Farrah] Wait, are you leaving?
I have to go back to shoot.
[Farrah] To shoot what?
Well, because of everything that happened
with this, I'm going to call it a scandal
They're picking up the cameras again?
If something goes on in our lives,
like this, they're gonna have
to go shoot that,
even though we're wrapped.
[Alexia] Who are you shooting with?
If it's not with Dad?
[tense music playing]
Good question, Alexia, I wanna know.
Well, Dad's here, and he can't,
so I'm going to be you know.
We should talk about that now
that we're all here.
Because coming out of the blue
what happened,
kind of just blindsiding all of us,
I know was a lot.
And first of all, I'm really sorry,
you guys, you have to deal with that.
You don't have to be sorry.
You know, I but I am. I don't want to
I want to get
through this conversation, but I am.
I really am sorry about that,
because it's not fair to you guys, um
But I'm just so used to it.
Yeah, this time was different,
because everyone was reaching out.
Like, my phone was blowing up
with people reaching out.
I opened Instagram, it was everywhere.
Like, it kind of
it felt different this time.
-It was definitely hard.
-[Mauricio] I agree.
Feeling like maybe
I don't know the whole story.
It freaked me out when I read it.
I was like, "Okay, this is weird."
-[Alexia] Like, "Is this the truth?"
-[Farrah] There's something we don't know?
Exactly. Is there something
that we're not in the know of, like
[Kyle] Like, you probably went
automatically to divorce.
[Portia] Exactly.
Unfortunately,
the reality of what our life is
is that we have opened up
our family and our home to
the public eye.
[somber music playing]
And, um
We owe so much of our life
and our success
to the connections we've made,
and the experiences we've had
It's brought so much good into our life,
but in moments like this, um
it's hard, and there's people
telling you that you deserve it
because you chose this, and
you know that's not fair either.
I mean, we have had a hard year.
You know? We have had a hard year.
[Farrah sighs] Put in the work.
Whatever that means.
-[Kyle] Well, it is. It is work.
-[Mauricio] It is work.
It is work. I mean, look, Mom and I,
we've never really been apart, um
-Definitely not this much.
-[Mauricio] Not this much ever, right?
Like, I have to learn
how to say no to certain things, right?
And not say yes to everything
because not only does it affect,
you know, my life at the office,
but it affects my life at home.
My high stress comes,
you know, at home, not, not
Thanks.
No, meaning that he can't be
fully present or that he cares.
That's one of the You have a hard time
being present too in your home
because you've got so much on your mind.
-Yeah. We've talked about that.
-Yeah.
You know, Kyle and I have always had
the dream of growing up old together
and being grandparents together,
and watching our grandkids play,
and being the house
where everybody goes to,
and, you know,
the thought of Kyle and I, you know,
maybe not being together and separating
is definitely something that is sad,
and it's hard, um
[tense music playing]
[music fades]
One of the most important things
is that we feel
that we can, like, talk about it,
and communicate, and be open about it.
[Kyle] It's hard trying to find
the balance with being honest with you,
and not oversharing, you know.
Some stuff is private, you know,
between us, it just is, and
So, I'm sorry if you feel like
I haven't shared enough.
[tense music playing]
[Kyle] Like, that's why.
[Alexia] In a really weird,
weird, sick, twisted way,
I do think that this is very healthy
for all of us to acknowledge it,
and because we can acknowledge it,
I hope you guys can, you know,
actually work on it,
and not feel like
it's a secret amongst all of us.
[Mauricio] Well, I'm really glad
that we had an opportunity
for all of us to be open about it
and communicate about it.
But we are definitely a success story.
Even though we're having
a hard time right now,
twenty-seven years is a success story.
[Farrah] Beyond.
[Kyle] And our family is,
you know, a testament to that.
-[Mauricio] Um
-[phone vibrates]
-Oh my God, you guys.
-[Farrah] What?
-[Kyle] Not another rumor.
-No, I have summer reading.
-[Alexia] Portia, can you not do that?
-[Farrah] Good I asked.
[Portia] That's exactly
what I thought too.
You cannot look at your phone and say,
"Oh my God, guys."
[Mauricio] Particularly
with what we're talking about.
I'm sorry.
It was a horror to me to read that.
[laughter]
I'm really glad we talked about it.
[Farrah] Me too.
[Alexia] Acting like everything's okay
all the time is not gonna allow you
to fix the issue at hand.
Yeah. Hopefully it's like just a catalyst
for taking the next steps or action
or whatever the work
that needs to be done.
I think the question
that I probably should have asked
was just, "What's the game plan here?"
"What are you guys gonna do?
What's the path moving forward?"
"How are you going to work on things?"
"What does that look like?
How are you gonna navigate this?"
So I kind of wish I had asked that.
Hopefully, it's a weight off their chests
to be able to just talk
about it more openly.
One step at a time.
[somber music playing]
[music sting]
I'm glad that we talked about it
and got it out in the open,
because we all, obviously,
knew what happened, but
realistically, nobody's gonna bring it up.
Right. As you know,
I was feeling kind of, like,
everything was being brushed
under the rug a little,
which was really bothering me.
[Portia] Yeah.
I think it's just because everyone always,
like, we're so happy,
and everyone's so happy to be happy
that there's no room for any, like,
negativity, and that was
just kind of bothering me
because I feel like
anyone who brings up anything bad
is, like, ruining the mood.
[Portia] Exactly. It's a vibe killer.
-Exactly.
-[Portia] It shouldn't be.
I don't want to be the one
killing the vibe all the time, but, like,
I wanna talk about it.
I don't wanna feel
in the dark about those things.
I don't want to have to read articles
like that and wonder if they're true.
I think we do deserve to know the truth.
-[Mauricio] Honey.
-[Kyle] Yes.
[Mauricio] I'm gonna go to bed now.
-Okay, I'm cleaning.
-[Mauricio] Good night.
-Night.
-[Mauricio] Love you.
[somber music playing]
