You have to go back to Puerto Rico, right?
[Roselyn] Yeah.
-And then when do you leave? -Monday.
And then do we see you again?
We have to do Zoom, FaceTime.
I get it.
I love these chairs.
[Megan] So cute.
[Jeff] Roselyn has not seen the space. She is still out of town.
But I'm hoping she'll be back in town for the reveal
to see the room in person.
They installed the wrong tile.
They took the other tile back for free. It was their mistake.
Uh-huh, okay.
They knew it was the wrong tile
and they were just gonna wait for me to say, "I love it, let's go with it."
And they were like, "Whoo, averted that one!"
No, you didn't, mother... I caught it.
Do you like what's happening here?
-I do. -[Jeff] Okay, good.
[Jeff] There have been some setbacks, but I do believe that Anthony
is going to love what we've done here once it's finished.
And I do think he knows that I'm gonna honor my commitments.
During the Woolsey Fire, our house got smoked
and all of our belongings came back in, like, ten million boxes
and I need the mental fortitude to go through stuff
and, like, ruthlessly throw things away.
If it was my house, I'd probably spend another 50,000 bucks
on furniture and potted plants.
But the house is really adorable from the front.
You just gotta clean out all of that stuff, Mira.
[Mira] I know, I know.
I wanna make a big jump from here to another house,
so I gotta get as much as I can from this house.
In the next house, I need more of a family house.
[theme music plays]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Thank you for the iced tea. It's delicious.
-[Megan] Isn't it great? -[Shane] It's a big jug.
[Megan] It's a lot of sugar.
So Shane and I went to lunch with Mira.
She's agreed to come up with a little bit more money for outdoor furniture,
so we're going to pull some inspiration pictures for her.
We have the chaise lounges and a small table.
Make sure that it definitely can withstand that salty air.
At Mira's house, we are installing the travertine deck.
They have demoed the steps.
They are preparing to start framing out and building the new steps.
The outdoor kitchen has been built, but we still need the slab,
the appliances, and the sink.
And then you have sofa, two chairs, coffee table, and maybe a side table
and then you have a dining room table with either a bench
or a dining room table and all chairs.
[Megan] It's a very pretty. I think it'll look great.
We need to select a countertop for the outdoor kitchen.
We're looking at options for the fire pit.
I think she's gonna do, like, a blue glass.
-Inside? -[Jeff] Inside.
Not, like, tiled around the sides?
-[Jeff] No, no, no, no, no. -Okay.
So now we have to build new stairs,
but did I tell you how much, um, it was, the Ipe?
-It's so pretty. -And it will last forever.
[Jeff] Those two decks would have been $26,000.
Holy shit.
[Jeff] So we have to do Douglas fir, which is $9800.
And then what do you do, just stain it?
Douglas fir doesn't look so great when you stain it,
so you kind of have to either wash it or paint it.
Okay, so for Roselyn's house,
you know she's in Puerto Rico filming Fantasy island.
Mm-hmm.
We tried to coordinate a weekend where she's coming home to see the family
so we can then show her...
-Give her the reveal. -[Jeff] Yeah.
It looks really nice.
It does.
I really like it.
[Jeff] It's actually a very comfortable room.
The wallpaper, it's not subtle at all, but I really like it.
And I think you almost need it in that space.
So I'm actually really happy.
We're waiting for window coverings, accessories,
like a coffee table, side tables. console, that kind of thing.
So she's gonna be totally surprised.
Except she picked the wallpaper, she saw the sofas.
But not when it all comes together. It's different when it comes together.
No, but it's different when it comes together. It's still different.
And they're like, "Wow, I never imagined."
[Megan] "I never thought it could look so good."
That's what I think about myself every day when I get ready.
[Shane] I never thought I could look so good.
-[Megan] Yeah. -[Andrew] Just like that.
At Anthony's, you and I, Andrew, I think are gonna do landscaping.
So with the faux lawn installed, then you and I'll go buy the plants,
we'll have 'em delivered, and then Francisco can install them.
We'll get Frank to finish with the wall caps and the stucco.
We also need to make sure that those hedges are tall this time.
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
Tell me everything about the showing last night.
-Thank you for doing it. -Okay.
-Were they cute? -They were hot.
It was a straight couple and they were, like...
-Hot, hot? -Hot, hot.
Like, how old?
Like, 33.
Where do these 33-year-olds get $5 million?
I don't know.
[Jeff] I wanted to sell my house months ago
and I had three separate offers on the house,
but the offers were lower than what I expected
and it was getting close to the holidays
and I didn't really wanna move Monroe during the holidays,
so I wasn't really ready to accept the first three offers.
Were they married?
-I don't wanna assume their situation. -Did she have a ring?
I didn't look that close.
-Do we know what he does for a living? -No.
-I didn't interview him. -But you could just tell they had money.
I could tell he was rich.
I'm glad that I waited because when I put the house back on the market,
I ended up getting an offer that was higher than the previous offers.
Wow. And they're, like, 33 years old?
Yeah, maybe... maybe 35, 36.
But you would have slept with both of them?
Yeah, at the same time.
If they were like, "Hey, do you mind if we hang out?"
"Hey, can we stay for a drink?"
-"Yes." -You'd be like, "Yes."
I love to sell to attractive people.
No, it makes the whole process...
-Easier. -Worthwhile.
Yeah.
[pop music plays]
[hammering]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Hey.
-Wow, this looks amazing. -Nice to see you.
It looks great, doesn't it?
[Jeff] Beautiful.
-Hi. -[Jeff] Hi.
Doesn't it look incredible? I mean...
Okay, I'm gonna tell you, I honestly didn't know about the travertine.
I didn't know how it would look, but I love it.
Isn't it so beautiful?
It is. You know why? Because I guess I thought it was gonna be more yellow.
[Mira] It's a little darker than I expected it to be.
It came a little bit more, like, hazelnut.
-Oh, it came out lighter than I expected. -Oh, really?
[Jeff] That's why I love it. I like it after it was grouted.
Just look at the ocean.
Look at the ocean with such a beautiful view of, like,
this beautiful expanse of this classic, you know,
almost, like, ancient Roman kind of feeling to it.
Like, like I said, Capri in Malibu, you know?
Yeah.
She chose the travertine in the pool tile. Her inspiration is Capri.
And I love how it ties into the trampoline and the bathtub.
[laughs]
I actually think the travertine looks good. I'm not opposed to it.
I would have gone with, like, a natural stone.
So it's not the exact choices I would have picked,
but I was pleasantly surprised once the travertine was installed
and she's really happy with it.
It's really all that matters.
Those fireballs, though, are really distracting.
[laughs]
-[Jeff] It's terrible. -[Mira] The dinosaur eggs.
What were you thinking when you put that in there?
[Matt] I don't know.
-[Jeff] I think the glass is beautiful. -[Matt] I don't care.
-[Mira] Yeah. -The color of glass is fantastic.
Well, at least that. One out of two.
The steps look good too.
[Chris] Yeah, no, I couldn't be happier with the steps.
And I love that side with the wraparound part of it.
I think it's fantastic.
[Mira] You can see, sadly, that, like, they're already super dirty, the white.
Oh, no, that looks just like primer to me.
[Mira] I think it might be just the primer,
but the question is more, like, what color?
Is it gonna be jarring to have it all be a gray or a blue or,
you know, next to everything else being these brown tone?
[Jeff] To be honest with you, I prefer the natural deck.
I think it's really beautiful. The weather...
I originally wanted us to stain the stairs and stain the deck.
Is there any way to mimic this look?
Because I do like this look a lot. You sanded all this down?
-Yeah. -That's why it looks so good.
We sand it down.
It just looks weathered and patinaed
and it feels like a beach house and that's what I like.
-I mean, if we're gonna... -But how do you get that look?
Is there any way that that could be sanded down
and you could do just, like, a light, natural...
Like, a whitewash?
Not a whitewash, but something that could give us this look.
It doesn't have to exactly match.
This is weathered already for so many years
and it has that gray tone in it.
[Jeff] I know.
-Aren't there gray wash finishes? -[Jeff] Yeah, like, a stain.
Yeah.
[Jeff] I don't mind if this ends up a little darker than this
'cause it'll weather quick and it'll fade.
'Cause then we don't even have to deal with paint.
I-I agree. I think it will look more harmonious to keep it wood.
We can try to stain it.
It's just, again, I don't know how a Doug fir will react to it,
but we can try.
You know, it's not the best wood to stain, but they are gonna try
because the existing wood is Doug fir
and it's kind of, like, an aged, worn wood
that they're gonna try to stain the steps.
It's never gonna match, but coordinate.
Don't you think this is a less-expensive option
if we could just seal this with a matte sealer
and then sand this down?
I do think you're gonna have to do some sort of stain.
-[Jeff] I really think that's the best. -I do too.
-[Jeff] I don't wanna paint it. -Yeah, I agree.
This idea of incorporating steps as a kind of a part of the lounge design
really sort of tied the deck into the house.
I think the additional cost of the steps is worth it
because it really seamlessly joins the two areas.
The next order of business is the countertop.
Yes, so when we were redoing our kitchen or our bathrooms,
I would literally, like, go to 20 showrooms
and look at every single slab and I was a little bit obsessive about it,
so when we had, like, four samples, I was like,
"Oh, none of them are exactly what I'm looking for."
We can go look at them now if you want and then we can talk about them.
Sure.
[Mira] Matt's like, "Well, here's your choices."
And I was like, "Oh, do you have others?"
And he's like, "No, it doesn't work like that.
This is my stone supplier," you know.
So we'll see.
And I just wanted it to harmonize a little bit better.
This, to me, reminded me of dog vomit.
Like, it's just too much going on.
Oh, great, you hate it as much as I do.
-Okay. -Okay, good.
[Mira] This one is pretty. It's just so white.
I felt like it didn't pick up, like, the browns everywhere.
I don't think it necessarily coordinates very well.
[Mira] Mm-hmm, right.
I tend to like more of the tone-on-tone.
-Mm-hmm. -Um...
I mean, this stuff,
the first thing we do is tear them out of houses.
-Uh-huh, yeah. -You know, I hate to...
-Sure. -I hate to install it, you know, here.
-Tear it out and put it in to ours? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[Mira] If there is a place that I can go and look.
Where can she go and can you take...
I'll get you the address.
-But can you take photos? -[Mira] Yes.
-And then we can discuss it? Okay. -[Mira] Of course, yes.
We don't wanna do anything that you're not happy with.
[Jeff] Okay. You guys got a lot to clean up here.
I know.
Do you need us to get you another dumpster?
'Cause there's a lot of shit here.
Maybe we can get some more stuff in there.
Yeah, for sure. I filled that first one up in, like, four days.
[Matt] All right, we'll bring a dumpster.
I'm already envisioning inviting our friends and family over
and, you know, having a party.
Like, we still have to clean up some of the debris
all over the property, but I just feel like
we're gonna have this whole rejuvenation
of our sort of outdoor living life
that we haven't had since before the Woolsey Fire.
So, so excited.
Mira, is there anything else you wanna add to the list while I'm here?
Like, can't I Instagram the shit out of the furniture and they'll give it to us?
Oh, my God. Here we go. I'm leaving.
[all laugh]
"Can't we get something for free and I'll just Instagram?"
Can you imagine just walking into a store and just, what,
taking it and be like, "I'll Instagram it"?
I mean, it just makes no sense.
Silly. Silly.
[all laugh]
Are you sure? I know that people are Instagram, like...
All right, I'll see you later. Bye, guys.
Okay, bye.
-[Chris] Thanks, Jeff. Thanks, Shane. -Thank you. Thanks, Matt.
[pop music plays]
[doorbell rings]
[dog barks]
-[Jeff] Hi. -[Monika] Hi.
-How are you? -How are you?
-Good to see you. -You smell good as usual.
-Thank you. -Oh, by the way,
-Monroe loves that perfume you got her. -Yes!
[Jeff] I've known Monika for years and years and years.
I originally met her because she and her ex-husband
hired me to do their house.
Major, major rehaul.
So we worked together for a long time.
Then we became friends.
[Jeff] Do you want some coffee?
Yes, please. Can I have a cappuccino?
-[Shane] Um... -[Jeff] Do you know how to do that?
[Shane] No.
[Monika] Okay, then I'll just have a coffee with oat milk.
That I can do.
I'm just shocked that there's actually so many toys right there.
[Jeff] It drives me nuts.
-Good for you, Daddy. -[Jeff] It drives me nuts.
I'm so proud of you.
-But I wanna go through my clothes. -[Monika] Okay.
I wanna go through her clothes.
Are you gonna be good about getting rid of... 'Cause I just...
[Jeff] I'm great about getting rid of stuff.
I just did Megan's closet.
Yeah, she's a hoarder. I'm not like that.
-Oh, my God, bad. -[chuckles]
-[Jeff] Was it really bad? -[Monika] It was so bad.
She orders stuff, she doesn't remember ordering it.
There's shit with tags on it.
But she let me get rid of, like, 75% of her stuff.
-Seriously? -[Monika] I'm not kidding you.
Like, it's actually inspired me. I have to get rid of some stuff now.
It's so cathartic. I wish I just had nothing.
[laughs]
[Jeff] We don't know where we're going, but we need a bigger house.
You know, there's way too many toys here.
Yeah.
Monika started her own organizing business
and she's really good at it.
And she is now helping me clean up, organize, donate,
and then pack to move.
I do have somebody interested now in, you know, buying my house,
so we'll see what they do.
But for now, I wanna go through every one of these cabinets
and every one of these drawers.
Wait, why are you moving into a bigger house?
This place is huge.
I love this house.
If it were just me, I would stay here forever.
But I always wanted to have more than one kid.
[Monika] Mm-hmm.
I'm 51. I'm almost 52.
I feel like if I'm gonna do this, I need to kind of do it soon.
I really am fulfilled being a parent.
Like, much more fulfilling than anything I've ever done.
And I get so much joy out of just even the little things with her.
Just knowing how happy I am with one, that's kind of why I want two.
I think it's one of the motivations to sell this house
and get into another place because we don't have any room.
[Jeff] Fortunately, I created these embryos six years ago.
So I have two embryos from the same egg donor
and turning 52, I'm feeling a little bit of the pressure
to do the second baby, like, now.
-[man] You're ready? -Yeah.
There's no right time. There's never a right time.
And now Monroe's almost five.
Does Monroe know about this plan?
She's honestly brought it up before I even...
[Monika] What does she ask?
She's like, "I want a little sister."
Cool.
She's pretty aggressive about it, actually.
Once I sign the agreement, once I meet with our consultant,
we'll start moving forward.
We'll see.
I mean, I could be pregnant by the end of the year
or it could be mid-next year.
I have no idea.
I'm not stressed about it.
See, I wouldn't wanna do it in my current situation,
but if, like, money were no object and I had a personal trainer and a chef,
-I would 100,000% have another baby. -[all laugh]
I would.
It's fun.
It is fun and they're so cute.
I'm sad that they're getting older and those little baby hands
are starting to go away.
I know. Look at Shane's hands. Look at how big they are.
-I lost my baby hands. -[Monika] Oh, my God, look at you.
[Jeff] I miss your baby hands.
I know.
Ooh, not a day of hard work in your life.
Mm?
[all laugh]
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Hello?
[Dr. Potter] Hey, Jeff, how are you?
[Jeff] I'm good. How are you?
[Dr. Potter] Real good. How's that little angel doing?
She's doing great. I wouldn't call her an angel, but she's doing great.
[Dr. Potter laughs]
Dr. Potter is the fertility doctor
who I've been with from the very beginning,
so he's the one that helped create the embryos
and then he helped us get pregnant with Monroe.
I have two embryos. I have one female and I have one male.
So it'd be nice if Monroe had a full sibling.
Since I've had her, I look probably ten years older
just because it's so stressful having kids,
but I thought I'd have another one.
[Dr. Potter laughs]
I figure I have to get going with this before I go into assisted living.
[laughs]
[Dr. Potter laughs] So here's the thing.
So we have a surrogate coming in next week for screening.
And if she's good, you know, we'll get this thing going.
So we have embryos nine and ten.
Embryo ten probably has around a 60% chance for implantation
and embryo nine probably has about a 50% chance for implantation.
Okay.
[Jeff] I've already been matched with a surrogate.
It's happening quick, a little quicker than I thought.
I'm a little anxious over it 'cause there's only two
and they're not rated as high as Monroe.
I really haven't decided. I mean, when do you need to know?
[Dr. Potter] Not until maybe a week before.
All right. I really appreciate it. Thanks, Dr. Potter. I'll talk to you soon.
[Dr. Potter] All right. All right, you got it. I'll see you soon.
Okay, bye.
So the girl is 60% and the boy is 50%. What embryo numbers?
Monroe is 14, ten is the girl, nine is the boy.
Should've just... I don't know why I even named her.
Just call her 14. Nine...
-And Ten. -Ten.
You know, there's a chance they both might not take.
That's a possibility.
It's a little confusing 'cause number nine would be your second kid.
So if someone was named Nine, I would think that they were the ninth kid.
Right.
But then they have to explain, "No, I have two gay dads."
And I guess, no, this one would only have one gay dad.
"I have a gay dad, so he had embryos."
One very gay dad.
"I have one super gay dad and so he had to freeze his embryos
and I was the ninth one."
[pop music plays]
[Megan] Oh, my God, that's heavy. That's a heavy-ass lamp.
But isn't this cute?
[Tyler] It's really cute. And the marbles look good together.
[Megan] I do love this table, but I don't think it's gonna live with us.
Let's do pillows.
I like this pillow really a lot. This is my favorite.
That's cute.
-I love. -I like this one too.
-I think that's too dark. -Yeah.
Oh, that's pretty. Let's try that. You wanna grab just a couple more?
Do you wanna do that by itself and this or is it too, like, unlike?
There's two of these.
[Megan] There are two of those. Oh, that's nice. I like that.
That feels too... It's fighting with the wallpaper.
Almost there.
Hey, how are you?
Okay, so for now, we'll just wait for Jeff.
Just, like, let him see.
-Hey, queen. -Hey. Oh.
-[Jeff] How are you? -[Tyler] Good.
-[Megan] Hi. -Hi.
[Megan] We did a nice, little pillow story.
[Jeff] I love your pillow story.
-It's a lot of tables, but... -Right, like a table store.
I think we could lose this one 'cause I think you need that.
One table, two tables, three tables, four tables.
Unless there... Is there anything else really kind of petite?
There's that round, white thing.
Are you gonna do also a lamp on that table?
I think you either do a lamp there or you do a lamp here.
You can't do both?
[Tyler] It's a lot of lamps.
He says it looks like a lamp store.
It's okay. It fills in the space.
-This is gorgeous. I love this. -[Megan] Mm-hmm. Isn't it pretty?
Are you guys feeling that table?
[Megan] Cute.
I think you could keep the table, but I think you lose the lamp.
[Megan] I think you keep the lamp and the table.
I think you keep the lamp and the table also.
Just fill it with furniture.
Yeah, why not?
[Jeff] How many lamps did we get?
[Megan] You thought that we might not have enough.
But when we saw that we had two good options,
we were good to go.
So we now need books and accessories. Correct?
Do you want us to go grab some art?
[Jeff] Yes. Ooh, look at the light one.
That picks up your pillow story.
-[Megan] Love the light one. -[Jeff] Ooh, I like that a lot.
[Shane] I wanna see that one because I picked it out.
[Megan] All right.
[Jeff] No.
[Shane] Oh, my God, that's horrible.
-It's the worst. -No.
-[Shane] Who chose that? -Okay, let's keep that one.
[Megan] You are really bad at choosing art, Shane.
Just stick with me.
Roselyn hasn't seen anything.
All right, so anything else?
[Megan] Well, the wallpaper's pretty loud.
[Jeff] The wallpaper's loud.
I think this really works.
[Shane] What changes could be made?
I don't think any.
I think she's gonna be very pleased with what we've done.
Okay, so we still have drapes coming in tomorrow.
We have a couple coffee table books and accessories.
We have to have someone hang the art and hang the mirror.
We're also doing new outlet covers and a new smoke detector.
So that's the punch list.
All right, when do I see you again? Tomorrow?
[Megan] Manana.
-[Jeff] All right, bye. -[Megan] All right, see you later.
Bye.
[pop music plays]
I shouldn't have had that sandwich. Now I'm going into a food coma.
For half of a sandwich? That gets you in a food coma?
Yeah. I should've just skipped the bread.
Okay, we need to get the trash removal done this week before furniture
for Chris and Mira.
Who orders that dumpster? Matt?
Matt.
And he's the one that would order the dumpster
and then order it to be removed once it's full?
Right.
Do we know for certain that the countertop's going in?
Um, countertop's Thursday. Tomorrow.
Okay, so here's, um, this stone. Interesting blue choice.
I just... I don't think I love it.
[Jeff] I wasn't a big fan of the granite slab that Mira and Matt chose.
-I tend to like more of the tone-on-tone. -Mm-hmm.
But fortunately, she was open-minded enough
to go back to the stone yard and choose something else... that's worse.
No, just kidding.
I mean, I have a little bit of influence, but not much there.
Mira's driving the project.
I think she just needed somebody to help facilitate it.
I got to order the appliances.
The appliances are the one thing that Mira let me choose.
I mean, it's better than the last one she had.
That's true. It's not, like, offensive.
It's just not the stone that I would have chosen, but it's not so bad.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] Are you happy with the progress so far?
-I am. -Okay, good.
I came by one day unannounced, the fountains were on.
And I was like, "Oh, wow, okay, all right."
[Jeff] Yeah.
Are we concerned about this rust and all of that? Or...
-It needs to be maintained, right? -Yeah.
So it needs to be serviced weekly. He will take care of that.
-Okay. -Can you mention we also need to...
He needs to stay at...
The rust that's coming down from the spouts,
that needs to be cleaned up weekly.
[Anthony] So I have a question.
So we're just gonna leave this as-is? White?
I mean, I wouldn't mind bringing that tile in.
Do you think that will be too much?
I don't. I don't. There's not a lot of stairs. The risers are small.
I think it could be nice.
After we remedied the tile, he said,
"Do you really think we should go up the back wall with the tile?"
I said, "Please, trust me, I know what I'm doing."
Now he wants to put it somewhere else.
There is a bit of a satisfaction that I was right.
I knew it. I just knew it. I knew it.
Andrew, can we get any more of that tile?
We have half a box left.
Where is it?
I'll get it. It's in my car.
-[Jeff] Fine. -I didn't want it thrown away.
And then can you give me an estimate also on installing it on the risers?
Yes.
So I wanna show you a couple pictures.
All right. Show me what you got.
Okay, so these are 100-year-old olive trees.
[Anthony] Mm-hmm.
-[Jeff] These are at a farm. -[Anthony] Do they produce olives?
They are non-producing, right? We don't really want the mess.
So they're not olive trees. They're just trees.
[Jeff] Well, they could be producing olives. Do you want... We can...
[Shane] Do you want some olive producing trees?
-No, I don't want olive... -Look at these gorgeous trees.
Look at the trunks.
So I'm asking, why are they olive...
considered olive trees if they don't bear olives?
Why not just be trees?
It's a very good question.
Well if someone has low sperm count, are they still a human?
[Jeff] Am I still a man even though I don't produce sperm anymore?
You can't compare humans to trees.
[laughs]
I think a man can always produce sperm.
-Maybe a little sperm count. -Yeah.
-Shit may not work. -Yeah.
-You know, but... -May not shoot as far.
Okay.
They're 100-year-old olive trees, so they're a little more expensive,
but I'm hoping to get his approval.
And then we're gonna kind of build the landscape plan
around those olive trees.
[Jeff] All right, so...
All right, so where are we talking about putting those?
Okay, we're gonna do two here and we're gonna do one here.
I think they're beautiful. A lot of people are using them right now.
-I've been using them for a while. -Mm-hmm.
However, made the mistake of doing very young juvenile olive trees,
which take years and years and years to look like this.
Mm-hmm.
So for a big, like, 48-inch box olive tree that's probably, like, seven feet tall,
I can buy it for $2,000.
-It looks nothing like this. -Mm-hmm.
-I can buy this for $4,000. -Oh, really?
[Andrew] Now you like it 'cause you're not saying ten.
He thought you were looking at a $10,000 tree.
All three are gonna cost 12,000,
but he's going to plant them for us as well.
-Okay. -Which saves us a lot of money.
I want him to plant these because... Will he guarantee it?
He's gonna guarantee the life of the tree?
They do. They do.
Um, but is this a go?
[Anthony] I wanna ask about the root system.
Are we concerned about the root system of these trees
because of all of the piping and irrigation that you've done
for landscaping and for the fountains?
I don't think they have an invasive root structure,
but I can ask them.
[Anthony] Okay.
Not to push you, did we get a yes on the olive trees?
-We move forward with the trees? -Yes.
Can you talk to Tyler right now and tell him to schedule it?
Yeah.
But I need to know the heights of those trees so we can pick them.
So the faux lawn, they're gonna start prepping for the faux lawn.
How many days is this gonna take?
They should have it all in on Saturday.
All right. So the faux lawn is going in between all...
-So we're putting... -They'll start tomorrow.
We're putting faux lawn here?
-[Jeff] Yeah. -[Anthony] Okay.
'Cause I don't think you're gonna be able to grow lawn here.
It's a small enough area where it'll look good.
Um, so they're gonna be doing the faux lawn here.
Mm-hmm.
All between here and then throughout all the pads.
Okay.
I have to finish the landscaping.
We're talking the front yard behind the gate,
which is the hardscape, the garden walls, the water feature, the faux lawn.
Are you going out of town?
I have to go back to work to earn money to pay you.
-When do you leave? -Sunday.
-Okay. -And I'll be back in two weeks.
So can I have your word?
Because we talked about this being, what, a six-week project?
We're coming up on that, right?
[Jeff] Well, I mean, we're going as fast as we can.
So as you can see, my intentions are good.
Okay.
But this should be done in the next two to three weeks.
All right.
[Jeff] We're down to crunch time and we're trying to finish.
I think he's, you know, hoping that I'll be done with my portion so he can move in.
There is a little bit of anxiety there. Like, he would like to get in his house.
All right.
[pop music plays]
[Jeff] This doesn't seem like the best lane.
[Shane] If I were you, I would go into the lane with fewer cars.
This is the line for the stupid people.
[both laugh]
You're in the right lane.
[both laugh]
[Shane] Some things for us to talk about: Malibu, checklist.
The sanding of the deck is done.
And the countertop is now done, installed?
Done.
Okay. What about the sink?
Sink is in, done.
Okay, and then the furniture was all delivered, right?
Yeah.
-Tyler was there? -Yeah.
And set everything up the way we wanted it?
Tyler placed everything. It's all great, done.
[Jeff] What about all that debris that was around the pool, the trampoline?
Has that been removed? Because we did provide them a dumpster.
The trampoline has been moved, so the view is better.
The dumpster's there now,
so hopefully she's going through some stuff.
They're really excited.
They have a nice family.
I love how they all get in the Jacuzzi together.
I don't. I think that's weird, but I...
Can you heat your Jacuzzi
so you and me and Zoila and Monroe can go in tonight?
-That's just creeps. -[laughs]
[pop music plays]
-[Jeff] Hi. -[Eric] Hey.
-[Jeff] How are you? -Good. How you doing?
-Good to see you. -Good to see you too.
-Good to see you. -You too.
[Jeff] Unfortunately, Roselyn was not able to make it back into town,
so her husband Eric is able to see the room in person,
but Roselyn's gonna have to do it via Zoom from Puerto Rico.
I've never done a virtual reveal. Never.
I just didn't wanna delay this 'cause I don't know when she's coming home.
Roselyn was asking for pictures.
Yeah, she was, but I told her no.
Did you... Go ahead.
I would not reveal anything.
Wow. Look at this. It looks awesome.
It's got this cool, loungy vibe. It's great.
I mean, he pulled off a miracle here. [chuckles]
What I'm shocked about
is how sort of masculine and feminine both, right?
It's gender-neutral, this whole room.
I thought Roselyn was gonna get a little bit girly with it
and make it more of her space, but it's really not that.
It's got a complete flow to it that I would love it just as a lounge.
-[Jeff] Your wife picked the wallpaper. -[Eric] She picked all this?
Yeah, she did. She picked the window coverings.
-Which we had made. -[laughs]
-[Jeff] She has good taste. -She does.
Sorry we lost your memory wall. What was that?
[Eric] Oh, my postcard wall.
[Jeff] Yeah, what'd you do with it?
[Eric] Still have it.
I think, in general, it was much more of a man space
'cause it was my original townhouse where I lived.
And this was, again, my office.
It wasn't very attractive. It wasn't podcast-friendly.
It was not a beautiful space by any means.
My wife would definitely be annoyed by the way it looked for the podcast.
And that is a pullout sofa there.
[Eric] Oh, it is a pullout? Nice.
You know, the space is completely multifunctional.
I mean it, it's got a pullout couch. It can be a guest room.
And then, yeah, it's completely functional for the podcast.
We have, you know, guest seating.
So it's gonna be a room that's gonna be used a lot.
[Jeff] Is she available?
-[Shane] Get her on a call? -[Eric] Yeah, let's do it.
Hello, Roselyn.
Hi.
Sorry you couldn't be here to see it in person.
Sorry, guys, I really wanted to do the reveal in person,
but, you know, we're working.
It's a blessing. It's all good.
I get it. I understand. You're busy. You're working.
It's good. It's a good thing.
Yeah.
We wanna show you.
I can't wait!
[pop music plays]
Wait, wait, wait!
Wait, go slow, Shane.
-I'm just too excited. -[all laugh]
Hi. Okay.
Oh, my God, look at that!
Oh, my God, I love!
Look at that wallpaper, Eric, that I picked!
I know. He made it a point to tell me you picked it.
I'm very surprised.
-[Jeff] I just gave you credit. -It's gorgeous.
[Jeff] You can obviously see all the custom paneling,
the baseboards, the crown.
[Roselyn] Wow, so beautiful.
Look at the doors, no more glass, no more mirrors.
-[Jeff] Right. -[Roselyn] Perfect.
Let me see the curtain. Let me see how the curtain turned out.
-[Jeff] It's really beautiful in person. -[Roselyn] Love.
Oh, my God. And the carpet, the rug?
[Eric] The carpet's great. Really nice color.
[Roselyn] Oh, beautiful.
Well, and then we added a couple little tables, like, for drinks,
you know, if you have guests.
Show her this beautiful marble.
[Roselyn] Oh, my God.
We've picked up the colors in the window fabric
throughout the room,
so this has kind of that purple color that you like.
Love.
-[Jeff] Can you see the chairs? -[Roselyn] Beautiful.
[Eric] You see the couch? The couch is beautiful.
Keep in mind, Roselyn, that this is a very comfortable pullout sofa for guests,
so it becomes a multipurpose room.
Beautiful. Look at that throw! That throw is going home!
[Jeff] Well, that's kind of our gift to you.
We took a little while longer to get this thing done.
Thank you for your patience.
Of course.
No, thank you, guys, for making a stunning podcast room for us.
It was much needed, so we're very happy.
And, Eric, you have to pay Jeff to redo the entire condo, the entire unit.
-That's the next step? -[Jeff] It's a nice... It's a nice place.
Thank you.
I know, every room needs to look like this.
Every room should look like that. Exactly.
Come on, Eric.
Roselyn Sanchez, I thought she was really, really easy to work with.
She was very friendly.
She would pick things in the first round and then done, purchased.
This has been a great experience.
Will you please show her the equipment as well?
[Shane] Yeah, so we got your existing camera
and then we got two additional ones with all the same tripods, the lights,
so that way if you wanna do you guys on the sofa
with, like, everything facing you or the guests in the chair,
you'll have the set-up.
That's amazing. I can't wait to be back so I can use it!
You know, Eric wanted to start using the podcast room
before me getting to LA.
And I said, "No, you're not!
You're not gonna freaking be the first one to use it!"
Can I at least use it with no guests?
I can set up here and do the podcast here for me?
[Jeff] Well, I hope you're happy.
I mean, I can't wait for you to see it in person.
I'm incredibly happy and super grateful. It's beautiful.
It's an incredible upgrade.
Yes. Thank you, Jeff. This is stunning.
Okay, well, enjoy it.
And consider letting your husband use it before June.
No. No, it's not fair. It's not cool.
Okay, well, just think about it. You don't have to answer now.
Okay. All right. Oh, God. Anyways, I love it.
Good. I'm glad you're happy.
All right, take care. Hopefully, we'll see you soon.
-Bye. -Bye. Bye, guys.
We basically took a white box, right?
And we added paneling, crown molding, wallpaper.
We painted. We did new carpet.
I do believe we accomplished what we set out to do,
which was create a comfortable office, podcast studio,
a guest room, and now it's a completely brand-new space.
I mean, you wouldn't recognize it.
Thanks, Eric. I really appreciate you doing this.
Yeah, no, I'm glad I got to see it.
-All right, we'll see you later. -All right.
Let us know if you need anything.
-Perfect. Thanks. -[Jeff] All right, thanks, Eric.
-[Shane] Talk to you soon. -Bye.
[pop music plays]
-[Jeff] Today's Friday, right? -[Shane] Today's Friday.
Yeah, so the buyer should have signed loan docs today.
Call Jace real quick.
Did you get your number?
Um, I did get my number.
When do we cheers? Can we open champagne or something?
-Do you do that when you sell a house? -[phone rings]
No.
[Jace] Hey, Jeff.
Hey, Jace. How are you?
[Jace] I'm good. How are you?
Good. Jace, let me ask you this.
When did the buyer sign loan docs?
Are we funding Monday? Recording Tuesday? Did he fund today?
[Jace] He funded today. I know for sure closing Monday.
[Jeff] Great. So I think we're all set.
[Jace] Yeah, we should be all good.
[Jeff] Thank you, Jace.
[Jace] Okay. Thanks, Jeff. Bye, guys.
-Bye. -Bye.
She's amazing.
I'm obsessed with her.
I seriously wanna fire you and hire her.
I wouldn't even be mad.
With the possibility of a second baby, as much as I love it,
it's not a house for me to get stuck in.
So even though there's not another house right now,
I wanna sell the house, I wanna take my money and then rent,
and then look for something, a good deal.
-She's so present. -No, I know. Quick.
She's, like, five steps ahead of me.
-She does not forget a damn thing. -No.
She's nothing like you.
Mm-mm. I think I need to step down and give her my job.
[pop music plays]
[seagulls squawking]
[Jeff] I can see that Mira and Chris cleaned up the yard.
It looks a lot better.
Everything looks great. It's finished.
Will you open that, make sure everything's unwrapped?
I'd almost that go away somewhere else.
It looks really nice.
[pop music plays]
-Hi. -[Mira] Hi.
-How are you? You guys love your pool? -We love it.
-Oh, my gosh, are you kidding? -It's really beautiful.
-It turned out amazing. -It's amazing.
[Jeff] The tile's actually really beautiful.
[Mira] It is really beautiful. It is everything I wanted.
-[Jeff] Really? -[Mira] Everything.
My gosh. Like, are you kidding me?
Like, the times we're gonna have here?
The sort of feeling that it's all connected and flowing,
it's, like, heavenly over here. Like, I'm so excited.
[Jeff] And then have you been able to heat the pool yet? Or no?
-No, not till the 14th. -Can't for another, like, 14 days.
But we did have about 150 frogs come join the pool.
[Mira] Yes, we had a crazy frog invasion.
-[Shane] Oh, no. -[Jeff] What?
Four nights ago, all of a sudden, we heard, like... [imitates frogs]
And we came out and there were hundreds of frogs.
-No. -Hundreds of frogs filling the pool.
-In the pool? -In the pool.
And then we realized they were mating.
They were all attached to each other, all of the frogs.
[Chris] So there were really 300 frogs
'cause half of 'em were on the backs of another frog.
You had 150 horny frogs in your pool?
[Chris] Yeah.
I've been in this business a really long time
and I've never heard of people having one frog in their pool, let alone 150.
I mean, everywhere you looked was a frog.
Did you get a picture of that?
-[Chris] No. No, we should have. -[Mira] No, we should have.
How did you not video that?
-Well, it was... -[Mira] It was crazy.
It was surreal.
I mean, we had frogs in here when it became, like, a pond.
But we thought once we're running the filter, it's treated water,
there was no way the frogs were gonna come.
-It was like... -Like, literally came.
It was like... Oh, stop it. [laughs]
Jeff.
[Jeff] I'm just saying.
It's, like, biology, it's not pornography.
[laughs]
So I called the pool guy and he came out yesterday and removed frogs and eggs.
And frog semen, I hope.
Yeah, and frog semen. That was removed as well.
And treated, yeah.
But the kids, they were like, "We're not swimming in the pool, it's over."
It wasn't that there were four frogs.
There were hundreds of frogs, so you can't swim in the pool.
Like, they owned the pool.
[Jeff] I mean, look, if you build a new pool
and it ends up becoming, you know, a home to 150 horny frogs,
it is disconcerting.
If there were 150 frogs in my pool,
you can be damn sure I would drain it.
I don't care what it costs. That's a lot of frog jizz.
Do you want frog jizz in your hair? I don't.
I don't want any jizz in my hair.
Are we sure there's no frogs stuck in any of the pipes or the filter?
-'Cause I had... -I can go check.
My daughter got a Barbie stuck in the filter.
[Mira] I'm gonna go check.
My daughter plays with Barbies in the pool
and one of the Barbies got sucked up in the filter
and it got stuck in the pipe
and then I had to have a specialist come out and remove it from the pipe.
There is for sure frogs in those pipes.
For sure.
-This pool... -That's traumatizing. It's a frog pool.
[Mira] Chris. Chris. Uh, can I have some help here?
There's a frog, Mira?
[Chris] There were no frogs earlier.
[sighs] It's really sad 'cause they're not moving. I think there's three or four.
Are there really frogs?
Yeah, but I think they're dead.
[Jeff] Oh, yeah. You weren't lying.
-[Chris] Are they okay? -[Shane] Is it dead?
Their, like, tongues are out and stuff.
[Jeff] Oh, one's alive.
-One's alive. -[Jeff] Well, let's save it.
-That one's alive too, look. -[Chris] They might all still be alive.
Well, just dump 'em. They'll probably...
Well, I'm gonna take 'em across the street
so they have less chance of staying.
[Shane] They'll die here.
I feel bad for them.
Okay, baby frogs.
I am so sorry that this has happened to you.
Just rest a little bit, okay, buddy?
Oh, my God.
I bet this is a first for a Jeff Lewis production.
Is she still rescuing?
-I think so. -Frogs.
[Chris] Honey, are you coming back?
[Mira] Yeah.
I think every morning we're gonna have to do frog checks in that filter.
Were they in the spa too?
[Chris] No. No. There was none in the spa.
No, they can't get into the spa. It's too high.
Okay.
[Shane] Good thing we raised it.
[Jeff laughs] Who knew by raising that spa we would make it frog-proof?
Frogs jump. I mean, I feel like it wasn't that high.
I think frogs could get in that Jacuzzi if they wanted.
Scale-wise, it makes more sense to have the bigger spa.
They look good together.
[Mira] Because the pool was uneven and they had to balance the height of it,
it made this platform on this side higher.
Higher, yeah.
See, we have a better view of the ocean from that side of the pool.
You don't even see these houses and there's so much space.
Before, all of our concrete was cracking and it just looked terrible
'cause it was in disrepair.
And then Jeff came into our lives, waved a magic wand,
and now we have, like, the pool of our dreams,
the deck of our dreams.
Even the steps being able to come right out.
[Chris] I love the steps.
[Jeff] I think once it ages, it'll be great.
Yeah, 'cause this will definitely gray a little bit.
[Chris] I'm super happy.
-You haven't used the barbecue yet either? -[Chris] Nope.
[Mira] That's, like, the best looking outdoor kitchen I've ever seen. [laughs]
I love the sink, though, with the wood cutting board.
[Jeff] Actually, the sink was a good idea.
-[Chris] And the blue countertop... -[Mira] ...is incredible.
I mean, do you love the stone?
It's pretty. It's very pretty. The colors are very consistent.
[Mira] Picks up that sort of darker blue of the ocean.
I was really grateful that Jeff supported the idea of me going on,
like, a stone hunt because I wasn't sure he would like it.
And he said he wasn't sure he would like it.
But then he liked it.
Jeff ended up liking everything that we chose.
Like, I mean...
-As far as we know. [laughs] -As far as we know.
-[Mira] It's, like, a statement piece now. -[Chris] Yeah.
[Jeff] I think it's nice and I feel like the colors worked.
And for what she's trying to achieve,
which is kind of just, like, beach resort feel,
it was on the mark.
It feels like Southern Italy or Greece or something like that.
-Capri? -Yes, it looks like Capri to me.
With the sort of whitewashed color schemes
and then the brilliant blues and the blue tile in the pool,
literally, like, it does look like Southern Europe to me.
-This is incredible. -Do you use this?
-[Shane] Nice. -[Jeff] It's pretty.
[Chris] At night, It's really cool.
This is nice. I could sit here all day.
It feels comfortable and it encourages that sort of gathering.
All right. Come on out.
Come on, Lucia.
Lucia Backus!
Lucia, this is Jeff.
Hi.
Terry Backus!
-I'm Jeff. -Hello, Jeff.
How are you? Hi, how are you? I'm Jeff.
-Oh, it's so nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
-Is he your first? -He's my third.
-Third? -Yes.
What do you guys think about the pool transformation, the whole thing?
-It's so crazy. -It's so cool.
I wanna invite my friends over and I wanna roast smores.
You sure you wanna go in that pool after all the frogs have been in there?
Now they're gone, so I don't really care.
[Jeff] Yeah.
I can't wait to have, like, celebrations here.
[Chris] I think it's gonna be really special to have all of us here
swimming in the pool and creating new memories.
[Chris] One, two, three!
[Chris] Wow!
Oh, my gosh! It's so cold!
To see the joy and the happiness, it just warms your heart.
And the work was just beautiful at the end of the day.
I mean, I'm really grateful and I couldn't be happier.
Thank you so much. Oh, my gosh.
Jeff Lewis made my dream of turning our backyard into a Capri-like oasis.
Well, enjoy your pool, enjoy your kitchen, your fire pit.
Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate everything.
-Oh, you're welcome. -[Mira] Thank you.
[Jeff] You're very welcome. All right, guys.
-[Mira] All right. -[Chris] All right.
Enjoy your pool. Have a good day.
-[Mira] Okay, thank you. -[Chris] Thank you.
Stephanie called me,
wants to know what embryo I'm gonna use.
[Stephanie] You know which one you want?
I'm back and forth.
I'm gonna make the decision, like, in the very last minute.
[Stephanie] You can't do that. I think they have to thaw the day before.
I really, truly am undecided.
Like, truly.
I love how open this is.
[woman] Isn't it a great house?
[Jeff] I sold my house.
I was reluctant to commit to a lease until I knew that the house had closed.
I like it. I like it a lot.
I wanna take my money, rent, and then look for a good deal.
All right, I'll see you at the next house.
They don't look so good.
And what happened to the branch right there?
[man] That limb right there has snapped off.
So it it arrived broken?
Yeah, I saw it like that when I got here yesterday.
[Roberto] Hey, Jeff. Nothing you need to worry about.
They're stressed right now because they're going into the bloom.
You know who's stressed, Roberto, is me when my client sees these trees.
