WEBVTT - Million Dollar Love with Tracy Tutor

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the most traumatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Chris Harrison coming to you from the home office in Austin, Texas,

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and I am so excited not only for this guest today,

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Tracy Tutor for Million Dollar Listing, the star of that show,

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>but she's just also a brilliant real estate agent for real.

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I know people think, oh, is that show real? They

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>really do it. Yes, it is a very real show

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>in that they are selling these multimillion dollar listings. And

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I think if there is a topic to dive into

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>right now beyond politics, that is real estate because there's

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>so much trepidation right now for first time home buyers.

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>How much it costs to get in the market. Should

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you get in the market right now to buy your

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>first home or level up or should you just rent?

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Is it a good time to just stay on the

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>sidelines and wait for everything to kind of settle out.

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I know that she will have some very strong opinions.

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>She's been in this business for decades and is now

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>venturing to my neck of the woods. Very much based

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>in California, but she's starting to stretch it out into

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the state of Texas. So I have a lot of

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 1>questions about all of that again. The star of Million

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Dollar Listing, she's been on it for years. She also

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>just went through a very public breakup we all saw

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 1>on the show, So I want to know what's going

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>on with her love life as well. Is that up

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>for sale? So Tracy Tudor joins us on the most

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>dramatic podcast ever, And Tracy Tudor joins me, Now where

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>are you in from today?

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>We're in California. Tomorrow we're going to Texas.

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Soll you that's funny. Let's okay, So let's just jump roll,

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>let's rip the band aid off. I'm in Texas. I'm

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>in Austin, Texas right now. I was just in California.

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry that it's a thousand degrees in California. It's

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.559
<v Speaker 1>oddly cooler in Texas for some reason. But you're starting

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>to work in Texas. And we're going to talk about

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Million Dollar Listing in television, but you're starting to work

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>in Texas, So let's just start talking real estate. Why

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>why you found that Texas is the hotspot to start

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>working in real estate.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm I've been pumped about Texas for a while, but

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 2>this really sort of began for me during COVID when

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>we were living in LA and on lockdown, and we

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>just started to see an enormous amount of people vacating

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles in California in general.

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>You're looking at one of them.

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right. I think I saw probably fifty million in

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>my network, you know, leave the state and go to Texas,

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>whether it was Dallas or Austin or Houston. And I

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>started to say to myself, well, obviously there's an opportunity

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>and I need to take it. And Douglas Ellman, my

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>my brokerage, had opened up offices there post COVID, and

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>so I immediately got my license and started, you know,

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 2>a team in both Austin and in Dallas, and I

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 2>think fell in love with it as well. You know,

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I've always been a fan of Texas. I've been going

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>there since one of my best friends in college grew

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.839
<v Speaker 2>up there to visit. And you know, while I went

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>there for the purpose of real estate, I think I've

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>really stayed there and I love the people, I love

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the vibe. I love what Austin has to offer. Dallas

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.519
<v Speaker 2>is totally different, sort of reminds me, you know, Highland

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Park reminds me of like the Beverly Hills of Texas.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>And autout totally.

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Austin's like a little bit more, you know, the keep

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Austin weird vibe, and I'm into that as well. So

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm having a ton of fun. And now I actually

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>have a place there.

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Too, so oh you do. Okay, we're in Dallas, in Dallas.

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>And up next, but I'm I'm flying in tomorrow to

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>work in Austin for the week. So it's it's it's

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>a great city.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I have a great real estate agent here if you

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>need to never mind. Yeah, I grew up in Dallas.

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>When I moved back, I still have family in Dallas.

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm four generation Dallas, but I moved to Austin with

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Lauren to set up her own life, to kind of

0:03:55.640 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>start a new And you're right, Dallas, Dallas, Austin, Houston,

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>San Antonio, and there's other great cities, but kind of

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>the Big Four, if you will, are very different, very

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>different vibes, very different people, cultures, et cetera. And it's

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of fun to kind of travel around and figure

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>out where you fit best. Do you think you'll make

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the move permanently to finally become a Texan?

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I do have my I've got a sixteen year

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 2>old daughter and an eighteen year old daughter. So one

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 2>is off to college and she's actually staying in California,

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 2>and my other one has a couple of years left

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>of school. And so after Scarlett graduates, depending on where

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 2>she ends up, I think I'll probably spend a lot

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>more time there.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you sound like you sound exactly like us.

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>When our two kids graduated, our son came to TCU,

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>then our daughter went to TCU, which is maybe my

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>favorite city, Fort Worth. If you've never spent time in

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>fort Worth, I'm telling you that is the untapped resource

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>in real estate and in Texas.

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I love for Worth a There's a ton of money

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 2>in fort Worth. We've got copy listings there that I'm

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 2>enjoying spending time at. But fort Worth is all so

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>a great city.

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a world apart from Dallas. I mean, I

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>grew up in Dallas and we never went to Fort Worth.

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>And now my kids have spent so much time there

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>at TCU, I have fallen in love with fort Worth,

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and I think if I didn't live in Austin, honestly,

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>I would be in fort Worth. It's you, it really

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>is and you got you know, you have the uh,

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the stockyards to kind of contemporary downtown, so you get

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it all there. It's a really great vibe. Have you

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>ventured into that real estate market at all?

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I have. We actually have a new listing that is

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 2>is going to be coming to market soon. So we've

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>been spending quite a bit of time there. And you're

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>seeing some really big numbers in Fort Worth. You're seeing

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of development come into Fort Worth, like people

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>are spending money. So it's it's a great time to

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 2>be in Texas from a real estate standpoint, and you know,

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, comparatively to La Chris, you know, we want,

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, pretty expensive real estate here and from a

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>foot standpoint, you know, Texas feels like such a value.

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 2>But I think the Texas numbers in the next five years,

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, in Austin and Dallas and Fort Worth, especially

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>San Antonio, I think we're going to see a lot

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 2>of growth. So that for me is a really exciting

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 2>time because to start seeing things go from fifteen hundred

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>dollars a foot, which was expensive, yeah, to say two

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>thousand a foot. I don't think that Texas thinks it's

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>possible and I'm sort of here to break that.

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I was just out in California and spend a lot

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>of time there, have a lot of love for Cali,

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>even though I left to come back home, and that

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>was always inevitable. I mean, I was definitely urged out

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>when I ended up in a toxic relationship with the

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>state I was living in. I didn't love the things

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that were taking place. But with that said, it is

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful place. It's a beautiful state. But I find

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it interesting because just you alone, your own book, you

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>said fifty million dollars walked out the door to around Texas, Florida, Nevada.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>That's where all the money went out of California. If

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you alone had fifty million dollars walk out the door,

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's safe to say about a billion dollars

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>left that state over the last three to four years. Absolutely,

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand how things aren't changing in the real

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>estate market or are they Is it going to ever

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>drop change? What do you see in the Cali market.

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's a really complicated time in real estate,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>particularly in Los Angeles. I mean, Cali is a huge state.

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's five states in one Yeah.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, so many micro markets. But if we're talking about

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles specifically, there's just a lot of politics surrounding

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>the city that are preventing developers from building. We have

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>a new Wildlife Ordinance which will sort of decrease the

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 2>number of mansions that we can have in Los Angeles,

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>which is where the luxury market in bel Air, Beverly Hills,

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Brentwood Palisades, so that's where the bulk of the money is,

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 2>so they're limiting us in terms of what we can

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 2>build there. Obviously, put the ULA tax on any sales

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 2>over ten million dollars at five and a half percent.

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>So you're selling your house for twenty million dollars, you're

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>paying five percent in commissions. You're paying five and a

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 2>half percent on top of that to the City of

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles to solve the homelessness crisis. So that that

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>in and of itself is just kind of crushed the

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 2>luxury market and sellers are beginning to wrap their heads

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 2>around it. I think, you know, we were hoping that

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>was going to get overthrown and the Supreme Court of

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>California said no. So there's just there's challenges on top

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 2>of challenges. In addition, to the crime, and obviously the

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 2>politics in Los Angeles, there's a lot of people wanting

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 2>to leave, but they can't afford to. So that's another

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.719
<v Speaker 2>ledgure to add insult to injury that we're dealing with.

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>And so that's why I'm, you know, having such a

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>good time in Texas because right now all I see

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 2>is growth. I mean, there's there's incredible growth happening across

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the state. And so for me, yeah, in the next

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 2>three plus years, I think I might find myself doing

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same thing.

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, the tech world has moved to Austin.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, AMD is here, and Elon Musk

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.199
<v Speaker 1>is here with Starlink down in South Padre, and obviously

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Tesla here in Austin. Toyota is up in Dallas. It's amazing.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I definitely want to get to the TV world. But

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad to have you because right now in

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.439
<v Speaker 1>our political world, and we're not going to talk politics,

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but one of the big issues right now in our

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>presidential races, we can't buy homes. First time home buyers

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 1>can't get into homes. So give me your advice for

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>people that are listening right now that want to buy

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a home. Should we Is this a good time to

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:57.599
<v Speaker 1>buy a home or is it still a renter's market?

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Because look, three four years ago, as you know, average

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>home price was like two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars.

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>It's two x that now, yeah, yeah, And I guess

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.079
<v Speaker 1>my question is do you jump in now because it's

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>only going to be four x this later? You know,

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a what is your advice on first time home

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>buyers and how do we make it more affordable?

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Well? Number one, I always will say buy now. I mean,

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I had this conversation, you know, three years

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>ago when we had interest rates at two percent, and

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 2>people were like, I'm going to wait until, you know,

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>the market slows because at two percent, you know, homes

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 2>were flying off the market at twenty percent more than

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>where they are today, and no one wanted to buy

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 2>then because the home prices were so high and it

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 2>was a hot, hot seller's market. Well now all those

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>people are kicking themselves because now interest rates are you know,

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 2>six six and a half percent, seven percent, and now

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>they can't afford the flip side of it. And what

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 2>we're not seeing is prices necessarily adjust back in the

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>other reaction yet, So I'm always going to say get

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>in now, and you don't need to be concerned about

0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>buying your forever home. It's just your first investment into

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 2>the world of real estate. So whether that's a townhouse

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 2>or a condo or a two hundred and fifty thousand

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>dollars income property for yourself, get in the game because

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 2>property value will all. It's the greatest asset any single

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 2>person can possibly have. So whether you start today and

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 2>you buy your first investment property for a few hundred

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars, in three years from that, pull the equity

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>out and buy your next house, and maybe that's the

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>house that you can see yourself in for the next

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>five years. But there's always going to be growth. And

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 2>while we're in a down market, you're not going to

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>move your money around perhaps sell, but the more real

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>estate you own is going to give you the ability

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 2>to have passive income in the future, and you're not

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be killing yourself at seventy five to make

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 2>ends meet.

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't agree more. I think the thing that needs

0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to be adjusted is just what you said, Maybe your

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>sites need to aim a little lower and that no,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to get the four bedroom in the

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 1>yard for the dog and all that. Maybe it's going

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a two bedroom town home and you got

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>to swallow your pride a little bit and it sucks,

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>but that just gets you in the game. And once

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you're in the game, you will level up quickly. It's

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>just that that's history. The history repeats itself, and that

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>history has always worked. And I also think, and I

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>hope you agree, it's living and buying and staying within

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>your means. Don't don't reach that four bedroom if you're

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>going to get upside down it if things go wrong,

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>start low and gifts getting the game.

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Get in the game. And for people out there right

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 2>now that are kind of kicking themselves and they didn't

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe purchase two three years ago and interest rates were lower,

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't mean that interest rates aren't going to come down.

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 2>We obviously are seeing interest rates shift slowly down. So

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 2>get yourself in an interest only loan. Maybe that's it

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.080
<v Speaker 2>five and a half to six and a half percent now,

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and when we start to see the thirty year fixed

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 2>model come down, then you can transition into that and refinance.

0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>But you know, while you have the ability to be

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>competitive in a market that might be a little bit softer,

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 2>get in the game, and then you finance in two years.

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Because let's say the Fed they're not going to do this.

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 1>But let's say the FED dropped it to three percent tomorrow,

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen. There's a buying frenzy. Now you're

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>just going to Yeah, now you've got the opposite problem

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>where people can jack up the prices of their home.

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's never going to be perfect. You know,

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>you're never going to have that perfect bake, and you know,

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>trying to time the market is My friends in the industry,

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I always say it's like trying to catch a falling knife.

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Don't try, You're you're never going to catch it.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 2>And truthfully, like sitting down, I think first time buyers

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 2>make the mistake of they go out and they just

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 2>start looking what can I think I can afford monthly?

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 2>You really need to sit down with a mortgage broker

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 2>or a trusted financial advisor or a lender and look

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 2>at your options, look at your income, look at what

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you really can afford from a monthly standpoint, and start

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>there because they'll be able to educate you and they'll

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.680
<v Speaker 2>say what today's rates are and they'll say, this is

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 2>what you can afford, and don't look beyond that, because

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, with the economy and the roller coaster that

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 2>we're all on right now, you know, you want to

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 2>make sure that that mortgage payment, your property taxes, and

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 2>your insurance are going to be covered every month and

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 2>then you still have, you know, your money to live.

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>No one wants to be under the gun every single

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 2>month to be to be paying a mortgage and property

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 2>taxes and insurance for a condo that they can't afford.

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Great transition, because we've gotten to know and love you

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>as the star of million Dollar Listing and you're absolutely

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>crushing it for some reason, the first female star of

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>this show. Yeah.

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been really fun.

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>It has it, And I bet it's been a very

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>interesting time to be doing this show during this market

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and with all the craziness going on.

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Chris, I mean, you know, I've been

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 2>on the show for six years, and you know I've

0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 2>obviously we a few years ago, I mean, we fifty

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>properties plus that we could put on the show. This

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>is one of those moments where we said, you know,

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 2>we have an option to either continue to glamorize what

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>it is that we do for a living or to

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 2>tell the truth. Yeah, and is this was a really

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 2>difficult year in Los Angeles real estate, particularly in the

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 2>high end, and all of us were struggling. Josh Flagg struggles,

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Josh Altman struggles, and I struggle to put deals together

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 2>that typically we could put together in thirty days and

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, three years ago and you know, get our

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 2>commission check and move on. So this entire season is

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, is difficult. And we walked through it with

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, our production team at World of Wonder and

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>we were like, this is what it is not you know,

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>some of these listings aren't going closed and that's just

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the nature of the market.

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's interesting, and it's a dilemma as a producer.

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>We ran into that on The Bachelor as well, of

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 1>do we continue to pretend that the people that are

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor Bacherette are perfect, that we have found this

0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>perfect human being and now twenty five people have the

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>opportunit unity to marry the perfect person when that's not reality.

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>We're all flawed. These people were very flawed and at times,

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and so we had that dilemma of do we show

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a very flawed person, or do we continue to perpetuate

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>this fairy tale? And so you guys have that on

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>steroids right now, and I'm glad to hear that you're

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>going to embrace things are rough right now.

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, they really are. And I think that was

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>something that you know, particularly with our show, there are

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of real estate shows out there, some less

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>focused on you know, more of a real estate backdrop

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 2>with a little more drama. Ours has always been, you know,

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>real estate first. And I think what we've realized is

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>we're going to if we're going to position ourselves to

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 2>really talk to people around the country about selling real estate,

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 2>then we have to be honest about what's happening. And

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>so I believe our show more than most probably attempts

0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 2>to tell that true story. And we shoot this show, Chris,

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 2>it's ten months. Yeah, we don't shoot for three four

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 2>months and in and out, like it is a long

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 2>arduous process to deliver some of these listings so that

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the viewers can go, Okay, well what happened? Did it close?

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Or systems will close things and then it falls out,

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, it closes on the show and it's not

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.159
<v Speaker 2>set to close for sixty days and then it falls apart.

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's just the nature of what we do.

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Were you hesitant at all about getting on the show

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.959
<v Speaker 1>and being a part of it. Is this really going

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 1>to help my career? Is this going to completely bury me?

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, because especially when you're dealing in that high

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 1>end market, you know, non disclosure is a big part

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 1>of this, Like they want their privacy. So trying to

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.439
<v Speaker 1>walk that fine line, I'm sure was a difficult moral

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>decision for you.

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>It was. I mean I'd been selling real estate when

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I joined the show for seventeen years, so I had

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 2>a business that I had built, whereas Josh Flag, for example,

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 2>sort of grew up on the show. I mean he'd

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>been doing it for fifteen years.

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the show helped create him, Yes, exactly.

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 2>So when I, you know, got to that place where

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>they were like, you know, we'd love to consider you,

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you being the first woman on you know,

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 2>million dollar listing la, I had two young kids, I

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 2>had been married for you know, thirteen plus years. My

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 2>family was nervous about it. I was a little bit

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 2>nervous about the idea that you know a lot of

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 2>my private clients wouldn't want to be on the show

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and believe it or not. Once I made the decision

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 2>to just go for it, I said, look, I'm I'm

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 2>forty years old. Like if I'm not going to do it, ever,

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 2>i gotta do it now, Like there's not a lot

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 2>of time and I need to take that leap of

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 2>faith and know that I'm a know what I'm doing

0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 2>and be that my clients will trust that if I

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 2>decide that I want to put them on the show

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 2>and they're open to that, that I'm going to protect.

0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm still going to protect their assets. So that has

0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 2>worked out, and truthfully, there is no better advertising than

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 2>this television show for what we do for a living.

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>As I say, has it helped at the end of

0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the day, it's a value adds.

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 2>It's a huge value add and if it was a

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.639
<v Speaker 2>different kind of show, I don't think it would be.

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 2>But I think there are a lot of people that

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 2>follow the show because they actually are interested in the

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>real estate and what we do, and so for that reason,

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 2>it's it's been huge for us. And even in Texas,

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it's been such a great asset for me coming into

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 2>a brand new state with no experience. In the last

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 2>three years learning like a bunch of different markets, and

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.959
<v Speaker 2>then thank god I have this exposure because with all

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the people that are coming into Texas from you know, Colorado, California,

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.639
<v Speaker 2>the East Coast, et cetera, they look to me as

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 2>someone that's like an obvious choice, and that's huge. I

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have that if I didn't have this show.

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it'd be very big, because I mean Texas is

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 1>very much of take care of there a own and

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, hire from within, but you kind of coming

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in and taking some of that business. Really, that billboard

0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>that you get to walk in with is massive. Would

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you say that what we're seeing is a good depiction

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 1>of the real estate business and especially the high end

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 1>level of real estate.

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Absolutely. I mean, you know, there's a lot of personalities,

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 2>and particularly when you know people are successful and they

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 2>have money and there's twenty thirty million dollar houses on

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 2>the line, you know. There, It's it's pretty straightforward. I

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 2>have some very challenging clients and I wake up every

0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 2>day going, Okay, how am I going to tackle this one?

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.879
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we we protect our clients as best

0:20:54.960 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 2>we can on the show. But it is definitely high drama. Yeah,

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you see a lot of that this season.

0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I have clients, you know, it took me

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.680
<v Speaker 2>most of the season, most of the year to sell

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>their house, and it's because they didn't listen to me.

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 2>So they're watching it back right now. And for example,

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I had something in Laguna Beach and I said, do

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.160
<v Speaker 2>not list this house over seven million, nine ninety five,

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.159
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, so eight seven fifty And then we

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 2>ended up selling it for seven to five because.

0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 1>He you know, we could have gotten there six months ago.

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, So they all watch it back and they're.

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Like, she was right, Yeah, damn it. What's your biggest

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>all time sell?

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Uh that was a couple of years ago. I sold

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 2>something for fifty seven million on the west side of

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles, and well, you know, I've had big projects

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 2>that are north two hundred million. So a little bit

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 2>of high rise stuff, that's what I'm excited about. Also

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 2>in Texas there.

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Is a lot of that. Yeah, a lot of it

0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:57.879
<v Speaker 1>going up in Austin and Dallas.

0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Branded residence.

0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 1>It's really one of the things that we learned in

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>this last season that you shared you went through a breakup.

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 2>She's back on the market again.

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>So she's single.

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I am I'm dating because.

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that working out?

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, Chris, it's exhausting. I'm just going to go

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 2>to bed. I need you know. I'm not cut out

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 2>for this. But you know what I did, Eric and

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I broke up. It was about a year ago. Now

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>everybody's kind of just seeing this now for the first time,

0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 2>but it is a year later for me, So no

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:41.880
<v Speaker 2>one terribly exciting. But I have met a few gentlemen

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 2>in Texas who are interesting, So I mean I have

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to go to Los Angeles.

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 1>At this point, I was going to say, you know,

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you're working in Texas. You're getting places to stay in Texas.

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to beat a good Texas man. I'm just saying,

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you may want to come fishing in our pond. I

0:22:58.119 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to it's much better.

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm really enjoying, like meeting new people, making new friends,

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 2>not just in a business sense, but I, like I said,

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.040
<v Speaker 2>in La, I mean dating is rough as you imagine.

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I went there. I mean that's where I got

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 1>divorced and where I started dating, and it was it

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 1>was difficult. I fell in love and married a Midwestern girl.

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>See, there you go. I need to find me some

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Midwest boy or a nice rancher.

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, I would think that are you on

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:29.920
<v Speaker 1>any of the apps dating apps and do any of

0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 1>that stuff?

0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Chris. So, I was on Riah, which

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>is totally tragic, and everybody on there is a producer.

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy town. And then most recently, a friend of mine,

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Lewis, had me on his show and he had Jeff,

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 2>you know Jeff, so Jeff Blackbuddies and Jeff had a

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 2>dating person on the show, and he's like, will you stay?

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 2>And I said sure, I need some tips. So him

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and I are both recently single. So she's told us

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 2>that we're not exposing our enough and that we needed

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to throw the net wider. And so she told me

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.400
<v Speaker 2>that I needed to get on Bumble and Jeff got

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 2>on Hinge and so for the last week and a half,

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I have been on Bumble. I don't think I sent

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 2>my preferences correctly. Okay, sixteen hundred people in my inbox,

0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, this is too much.

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>It's overwhelming, this is overwhelming. It's look, it's and I

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>get I get what that person is saying, but I

0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>also because I have been in your shoes. I understand.

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.479
<v Speaker 1>It's like you you get divorced, you break up, and

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.679
<v Speaker 1>you have two kids, so you're taking care of your kids.

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, you have one in college, one in high

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>school still you know mine, we're still both in school

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:39.719
<v Speaker 1>at the time. But you're still dealing with all that,

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and you're living your life and you're trying to sell

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.200
<v Speaker 1>houses and yeah, you don't have a lot of time,

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 1>so you do you got to make specific time to

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 1>really dive into that.

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'm I'm listen. I carve out some time

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:55.879
<v Speaker 2>to you know, have dinner or meet someone for a

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:59.719
<v Speaker 2>coffee or whatever. But I am super busy, and so

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 2>it's I thought, you know, maybe dating someone outside of

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 2>the state, whether it was Texas or somewhere else, would

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 2>be a good thing. But I'm recognizing pretty quickly when

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:10.040
<v Speaker 2>am I seeing you?

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because you're not full time in Texas, you're not

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 1>full time in La. Yeah. What about age range do

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you have? You know, will you date younger again?

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Not that yet. I mean I'm really would like to

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 2>have someone in their forties or early fifties. You know,

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm forty nine, so I'm like one year away from

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 2>big five. Oh, I have to like start getting serious.

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Hey, welcome to the club. It's wonderful, the water is warm,

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:40.439
<v Speaker 1>come on in.

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine with it. I just feel like at this

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 2>point I need to be thinking about my future. Eric

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 2>was way too young. We were together for three and

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 2>a half years, and it was Eric. He's twenty nine. Okay, yeah,

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:58.159
<v Speaker 2>so you know it was COVID And now I'm like,

0:25:58.280 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 2>we all did.

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Crazy things during COVID, crazy things.

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 2>But now I really do I want to find someone that's, you.

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Know, Tracy, I'm going to say definitely not in their twenties.

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:11.199
<v Speaker 1>They would have to be very dynamic to even be

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:13.639
<v Speaker 1>in their thirties. You don't need a chew toy. You

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 1>don't need a chew toy. You need an adult.

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 1>more and more, whether it's personal lives, the reality behind

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 1>real estate, what's going on, because we're all feeling it

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:30.200

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's we want to watch these shows for entertainment,

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:34.760
<v Speaker 1>but also for a little bit of the reality of

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:37.440
<v Speaker 1>like what's going on, and you guys kind of try

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:39.680

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:40.200
