Speaker 1: I'm Heather Dubrow and I'm doctor Terrybrow.
Speaker 2: And we're going to keep this between us, but actually
Speaker 2: we're not, no, because we really never do. And speaking
Speaker 2: of not keeping it between us, so we just bought
Speaker 2: a new piece of real estate, and I would like
Speaker 2: to say this may have hit the air rings faster
Speaker 2: than the sale of Chateau Dubreu.
Speaker 1: By the way, I think within ten minutes of it
Speaker 1: being recorded, it was on social media.
Speaker 3: Why do you think that is?
Speaker 1: Because I somebody contacted me from the Daily Whatevers of
Speaker 1: it All and said, hey, did you guys just buy
Speaker 1: a place? And I went what? And I looked online
Speaker 1: it was already on the Daily Whatever.
Speaker 2: Well apparently the real estate agent has to approve the photos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we kind of know the real estate agent.
Speaker 2: Yes, get where it happened. What I think is kind
Speaker 2: of funny about it. Not funny, We're going to talk
Speaker 2: about the whole thing. But we way overpaid for this property.
Speaker 2: And what I thought was funny is that the people
Speaker 2: that were representing us were bragging about that it was
Speaker 2: like the highest sale this year, And I'm like, why
Speaker 2: are you bragging? You represented the buyer, shouldn't it be like,
Speaker 2: you got us a deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so crazy to me, it's so crazy how
Speaker 1: much we overpaid for this cat pe apartment cat box. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So here's the story.
Speaker 2: When we sold our home in Newport Beach, which is,
Speaker 2: by the way, on the market.
Speaker 3: Are we going to talk about that, Cui segue.
Speaker 2: I'm squirreling out because I hadn't espressed on our TEENI
Speaker 2: right before we started, so I might squirrel out a
Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, but our chat out to Bros. On
Speaker 2: the market again for I think ten million over.
Speaker 1: What we what we sold it for.
Speaker 3: What we sold it for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And sadly, I think what I heard is that
Speaker 2: our two big beautiful palm trees in the front are
Speaker 2: dead and cut down.
Speaker 1: I'm gone and is like, just you know, the house
Speaker 1: is soulless now soulless.
Speaker 3: That's what we've heard Onlievle.
Speaker 2: It makes me a little sad, not crazy sad, because
Speaker 2: we did well on it and we had a great
Speaker 2: time there, but a little sad.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I'm so happy with where we live now.
Speaker 1: The fact that we tried to pay a reasonable fair
Speaker 1: market value.
Speaker 2: Oh we're back to the apartment, Okay, well, first of all,
Speaker 2: so we sold our house and then we lived in
Speaker 2: a lot of rentals, right, because even though we had
Speaker 2: bought this penhouse in this high rise in Century City
Speaker 2: that was a two bad room, it was supposed to
Speaker 2: be for us for some day. We had all these
Speaker 2: different home rentals in Newport Beach and we were figuring
Speaker 2: it out, and we eventually decided to move back to
Speaker 2: La Right, And so we rented an apartment in our
Speaker 2: same building that had more bedrooms, and we go up
Speaker 2: and down on the elevator and it's been insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: So I have spent the last nine months trying to
Speaker 2: buy the apartment directly underneath us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and reeks of cat pee.
Speaker 1: And it's one of the most disgusting places I've ever
Speaker 1: been hoarding. And the gross really bad and cat poopler everywhere.
Speaker 3: Like you need a hazmat suit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, but because it's.
Speaker 2: Below us, it's very exciting because this might be a
Speaker 2: little tricky to understand, but our apartment is the top
Speaker 2: apartment in our elevator stack. Yeah, and so if we buy,
Speaker 2: if we had bought the apartment underneath us, we have
Speaker 2: kind of a private elevator between the two apartments.
Speaker 3: So that's what we ended up doing. We overpaid for it.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're always very.
Speaker 2: Honest about all this real estate stuff. So we've done
Speaker 2: well on some things and not well. But we overpaid
Speaker 2: by I think what two million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yes, but even more when you think about how much
Speaker 1: it needs to be torn apart and how much reconstruction
Speaker 1: is going to need. So when you factor that into
Speaker 1: we probably overpaid four to five million.
Speaker 3: I would say four.
Speaker 2: But also the price that it shows on the record
Speaker 2: isn't actually the price because they had us pay their
Speaker 2: mansion tax.
Speaker 3: It's just so we had to pay on top of that.
Speaker 2: But we had a conversation about it and we decided that, look,
Speaker 2: instead of having a house, we love this building, and
Speaker 2: so I'm thinking of it as upstairs downstairs, and the
Speaker 2: kids have.
Speaker 1: Their own independent place that we're going to rent to them.
Speaker 3: But yeah, but I'm thinking of it as downstairs adults.
Speaker 1: They need to pay rent.
Speaker 2: Yes, but downstairs we're going to do a big kitchen,
Speaker 2: family room, and a cool media.
Speaker 3: Room and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: And then upstairs where we are is our primary suite,
Speaker 2: a guest room, and a formal dining room, formal living room.
Speaker 2: So upstairs is kind of the fancier area and downstairs
Speaker 2: is more a family area. Right, So that's how I'm
Speaker 2: setting it up. So we talked about it. Even though
Speaker 2: we overpaid for it, we decided that if you amortize
Speaker 2: it over twenty years, we don't care.
Speaker 1: Well we I mean we care most every time we
Speaker 1: have purchased a property, we do it through the lens
Speaker 1: of do we want to live there? And this is
Speaker 1: a good financial decision. Can we make a lot of
Speaker 1: money from it? And if you can check both those boxes, uh,
Speaker 1: it's a home run.
Speaker 3: But this isn't either of this.
Speaker 1: No, we want to live there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but we're not going to make money.
Speaker 1: We're upside down.
Speaker 3: The moment we buy it.
Speaker 1: We will make no money. In fact, one day, when
Speaker 1: I'm gone and you're gone and the kids have to
Speaker 1: sell it, they won't make any money either. No, I think,
Speaker 1: but I don't care. I love it well, we love
Speaker 1: the building. I think it's the best building in LA
Speaker 1: and it's the safest. And let's face it, everyone we
Speaker 1: know who is on a reality TV show who lives
Speaker 1: in a house in lab has been robbed every single
Speaker 1: one without fail.
Speaker 3: I love the.
Speaker 2: Whole apartment living. I love that there's so many people.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny because some people in our
Speaker 2: building don't don't talk to anyone. They park below and
Speaker 2: they go up in the elevator. I vallet I talk
Speaker 2: to everyone. Did you see Tim is back?
Speaker 3: By the way? Who Tim? Who's Tim at the front
Speaker 3: with the bow tie? Oh he's back. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I was so excited. I hugged him.
Speaker 2: But you know what, people I don't know that would
Speaker 2: know this about me. But I, even though I love
Speaker 2: big cities and all that, I'm kind of a small
Speaker 2: town girl. I you know, always loved going into the bank.
Speaker 2: I always knew my bankers. I like the post office.
Speaker 2: I like talking to people and knowing everyone's name and
Speaker 2: all the things.
Speaker 3: So I just love it.
Speaker 1: It's great. Everybody knows that. You know, there's like fifteen
Speaker 1: people around.
Speaker 3: And there's so many places to walk that we love.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. I love.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's so great. Our dogs love it.
Speaker 1: So we're going to have to tear it apart. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm concerned that there is cat pee everywhere in everywhere,
Speaker 1: including in the dry wall, could be and it could
Speaker 1: be much more of a disaster than we actually realized. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then, of course, you know, we've discussed how much
Speaker 1: it's going to cost.
Speaker 3: We don't agree on this.
Speaker 1: And and well, by the way, I have learned the
Speaker 1: formula formula to figure out how much something is going
Speaker 1: to cost.
Speaker 3: Double the cost, double the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it depends. It depends who's giving you the
Speaker 1: cost estimation. If it's your wife, you can probably two
Speaker 1: and a half times. If it's the building, wife math.
Speaker 1: If it's the builder, it's two times.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it's your wife, it's two point five times.
Speaker 1: Unless you're married to Heather to brother, then it could
Speaker 1: be three point five.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we were talking about your mom earlier today and
Speaker 2: something came up about finances and I was.
Speaker 3: Like, that is wife math, dear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so you have succumbed to wife math at times. Me.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I don't know about that. But anyway, I mean,
Speaker 1: here's another giant project that you have to undertake, all.
Speaker 2: Right, but this time so that house that we ended
Speaker 2: up not doing in Beverly Hills because the fires and
Speaker 2: the whole thing, Right, I don't regret not doing the house.
Speaker 2: I'm glad we didn't do it, and I love where
Speaker 2: we live. However, I love the design of it so much.
Speaker 2: And we worked with Max Novel and I just thought
Speaker 2: he was incredible.
Speaker 3: But it's so funny, like we we are both very
Speaker 3: determined with our visions, but we are we.
Speaker 2: Love each other and respect each other's design aesthetic, and
Speaker 2: so I feel like.
Speaker 3: What we came up with in that house was so amazing.
Speaker 2: And now we're doing this penthouse and we've already butt
Speaker 2: heads a little bit.
Speaker 3: Really, yes, but in a good way. I like it.
Speaker 2: I find it challenging, yep, and I'm sort of excited
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: Well, I've relinquished more to this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the last time you two got together, put
Speaker 1: your head together to create a project and estimate the budget,
Speaker 1: the budget came back eight million dollars over.
Speaker 3: That was on his fault though, that was the builder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm we'll see what happens with this one.
Speaker 1: But I hopefully redoing an apartment is not the same
Speaker 1: as redoing an old nineteen forties house.
Speaker 2: Well, of course it's not, because there's no you don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about opening the walls, right and there's
Speaker 2: also no land right, and we had problems with quisons and.
Speaker 1: About this earthquakes seem plumbing tenty of none of it
Speaker 1: to the av we do have to you know, this
Speaker 1: this building.
Speaker 2: I have to say, I'm super excited. I just feel like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, We've been going back and forth with
Speaker 2: some renderings and things, and I just think it's going
Speaker 2: to be amazing. And what I love about it is
Speaker 2: the kids are all going to have spaces.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you what I'm excited about.
Speaker 2: I think that how long ago did we move out
Speaker 2: of our Crystal Cove house?
Speaker 1: Yes, gosh, maybe five years now.
Speaker 2: We have been nomads and to be honest, even before that,
Speaker 2: I mean that home was the longest way ever stayed
Speaker 2: in the house. Yeah, right, like the twins, I think
Speaker 2: lived in twelve different places. We've been nomads for a
Speaker 2: long time. I am very much looking forward to not
Speaker 2: being transcend and being in one spot and doing it
Speaker 2: the way we want to and just living there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I mean, I realize we overpaid and
Speaker 1: we're going to pay a fortune to reconstruct the place
Speaker 1: because it's such a disaster. Even the final walkthrough, they
Speaker 1: had two cat boxes oh, a plane.
Speaker 3: View open, not even like the new fancy Yeah.
Speaker 1: Open with sograss, with recent escrement on the cat's deem
Speaker 1: bother bearing it. And what does that tell you? When
Speaker 1: a cat doesn't bury it, that means they have That
Speaker 1: means they just went fic because a cat is very fastidious.
Speaker 1: So the cat is saying, look, you know, she doesn't
Speaker 1: clean this out, and I'm calling it and probably below
Speaker 1: this is just yesterday's in the days before it was
Speaker 1: so disgusting. I actually had to wear a mask.
Speaker 3: Yes, the final you really need a hazmat suit in there.
Speaker 1: I mean, how people can live like that?
Speaker 2: It's so crazy. And there was other things too. I
Speaker 2: mean there was like a sink didn't work. They just
Speaker 2: shut off the water. I mean, they didn't fix the sink.
Speaker 2: It was crazy. But here's the good news. The building
Speaker 2: is Christine. Yeah, and it's you know, handled so well.
Speaker 2: And obviously we're right above it, so we know our plumbing,
Speaker 2: our everything is perfect. But I really think, like I'm
Speaker 2: just so excited to have this be done and have
Speaker 2: this beautiful duplex, and and I think more importantly, have
Speaker 2: our family be settled. Yeah, you know, Max is going
Speaker 2: to law school and seems like she might be closer
Speaker 2: than we thought. Nikki is graduating college and he's good
Speaker 2: to move back in with us for a time.
Speaker 1: Well not with us, he's gonna move downstairs.
Speaker 3: But that's us.
Speaker 1: Is that you're considering that our place thirty seven? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Both, Yeah, it's a duplex, yeah for sure, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: and so and then we have ace with us. So
Speaker 2: really only Kat is still in college on the East coast, right,
Speaker 2: And I just I just think it's fantastic, so excited
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: The way. Can I tell you how much I love
Speaker 1: your hair?
Speaker 3: You do.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether people realize that you cut your
Speaker 1: hair off and it looks very posh, spice like. I
Speaker 1: love it. And you know, this has always been my
Speaker 1: favorite hair stylogy, this hairstyle you kind of had when
Speaker 1: I met you, when you were on those TV shows
Speaker 1: The Maddie and The Maddie Maddie made TV shows that
Speaker 1: you did well with the same hair, which I love.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And you you notice that a lot of people are
Speaker 1: now going to the style. Do you think that you
Speaker 1: had something to do with that?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'm seeing a lot of ch
Speaker 3: chop for spring.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, now you look amazing.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so we're here at the iHeart Music Awards.
Speaker 3: Isn't this crazy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And we love iHeart and love the podcast and
Speaker 1: I Heart. But this is like we have to do
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can talk about this, but
Speaker 1: I Am going to do it anyway. We have to
Speaker 1: go through a red carpet after this. Yes, so let's
Speaker 1: talk for a second about what it's like to walk
Speaker 1: through a red carpet.
Speaker 3: Well, I know it's your best.
Speaker 1: Day, let's be honest, not necessarily.
Speaker 3: Yes, it is. It's your favorite thing. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: It's not true?
Speaker 3: You love having you love the attention.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you want.
Speaker 3: Them to ask you questions, don't you broo tell us
Speaker 3: about joby?
Speaker 1: Well, okay, it depends on why we're walking the red carpet.
Speaker 3: If they're a bad scenario.
Speaker 1: Well, if we're walking the red carpet because it's a
Speaker 1: sort of a housewife related event and they all they
Speaker 1: want to do is talk to you, and I'm like
Speaker 1: the idiot husband.
Speaker 3: Oh, here you go. It's not about years.
Speaker 1: So what's going on between you and whoever fill in
Speaker 1: the blank? And I'm sitting there going I'm waiting for them,
Speaker 1: and Hi, Terry, and then but Heather, what about.
Speaker 3: Oh so you like a red carpet when it's about you?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean yes, no, yes, well yes, but what
Speaker 1: is this about me? So what's the theme of this
Speaker 1: red carpet?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you're the point of what you're saying,
Speaker 2: is you like when the red carpet is about you
Speaker 2: and you have things to talk about. You don't like
Speaker 2: it if it's about me or something you can't talk about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd rather not be red carpet jewelry. I'd rather
Speaker 1: provide content, you know what I mean? Wow, Well, I
Speaker 1: mean you know.
Speaker 3: Want me to be the red carpet jewelry.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I don't really know. But I'm just
Speaker 1: saying sometimes, you know, and I would never apply this
Speaker 1: term to me, but you know, your arm candy. That's
Speaker 1: about it. An actor walking through the red carpet and
Speaker 1: he's got some or he's got some husband or significant
Speaker 1: other with them, and they're like, oh, look who Gina
Speaker 1: so and so is with I know, but that's.
Speaker 2: So silly with us because we've written so many books
Speaker 2: together and we have podcasts together. Here on iHeart because
Speaker 2: we no I know, but also we have a YouTube
Speaker 2: channel and doctor Missus, Guinea Pig and products.
Speaker 1: We get a podcasts.
Speaker 2: I mean, but we've done so many things together. I
Speaker 2: feel like you and I have our separate things, but
Speaker 2: together we're still an entity.
Speaker 1: And for those of you listening to this, if you're
Speaker 1: not aware, we actually have a podcast between us.
Speaker 3: So maybe two men.
Speaker 1: How stupidly meta? Is that?
Speaker 3: Very well?
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's meta, but but so yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, so what's interesting about I think people might
Speaker 1: be interested in what it's really sort of like.
Speaker 3: On a red carpet, because you talk up and first
Speaker 3: there's the picture section.
Speaker 1: There's a picture section, which you know they badly. I
Speaker 1: take a couple of pictures with you, and they're going
Speaker 1: Heather Terry, Heather Terry, and that's like, okay, Terry, could
Speaker 1: you step aside? And they want to see Heather well.
Speaker 2: Because female fashion, yeah, yeah, unless you're a specific guy
Speaker 2: is more interesting.
Speaker 1: And so there's that, and then you walk up and
Speaker 1: there's people from different places, different media.
Speaker 2: So you're on a straight thoroughfare, right, So you you
Speaker 2: walk up, there's some X marks on the carpet and
Speaker 2: you stand there and you take pictures and you have
Speaker 2: to look from right to left and you do that,
Speaker 2: and you take all the photos and then you go
Speaker 2: to the next thing, and then all of the different
Speaker 2: outlets are set up.
Speaker 3: It's funny. You know. Kelty Night did talk about this recently.
Speaker 2: Of course, you know our good friend Kelty who's on
Speaker 2: Lady Gang and who also is an e host and
Speaker 2: does a lot of red carpets, But she was saying
Speaker 2: that red carpets.
Speaker 3: Are very difficult.
Speaker 2: Now why because Kelty was saying that, you know, all
Speaker 2: the biggest celebrities come up the very last second, right,
Speaker 2: and it's very hard to grab everyone and get.
Speaker 3: Decent in content and all that kind of stuff. And
Speaker 3: she's so good at it. She does so much prep.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So then you walk up and you there's like
Speaker 1: People Magazine, US Weekly and E and Boom boom and
Speaker 1: boom and boom and hi hitherto and then they basically
Speaker 1: ask you kind of the same question depending on like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what they would ask us here,
Speaker 1: what's it like to have a podcast?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Or we're we're constantly in the media for various things,
Speaker 1: and right now, I'm.
Speaker 2: They're going to ask you about glp ony, ozempic face
Speaker 2: or ozembic, some anorexia or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and so it's you know, in this you
Speaker 1: try not to repeat the exact same thing at every
Speaker 1: but it's a very interesting phenomenon. Like I was having
Speaker 1: a cocktail earlier and I realized.
Speaker 3: Are you going to be dumb?
Speaker 1: I better stop now, otherwise I won't be able to
Speaker 1: string two sentences together and sound like a doctor.
Speaker 2: I had an espresso Martine, and I'm going to tell
Speaker 2: you its slapped. Yeah, I learned that word slapped.
Speaker 1: Slap Is that is that the alcoholic version of snatched?
Speaker 3: No slapped is like it hit right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's by the way, that's the alcoholic
Speaker 1: version of snatched plastic surgery.
Speaker 2: I'm snatched, no snack, honey, just tight slapped?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: It hit?
Speaker 1: It like touched me. The effect on the analogy is
Speaker 1: the effects of alcohol related to slapped is the same
Speaker 1: as the effect of plastic surgery related to snatch. So
Speaker 1: it's exactly a perfect analogy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're a genius.
Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying it's like analogous, you know. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this has been really fun amazing, and I think we
Speaker 1: have to hair. I love your hair. You're looking amazing.
Speaker 1: We have to go walk the red carpet.
Speaker 3: Is it too much boob?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of by the way, it's it's just bra.
Speaker 3: Well there's a bra, but also there's sticky boobs in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look great.
Speaker 3: Trying to put on your favorite jewelry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that jewelry.
Speaker 3: All right, well, I love you.
Speaker 2: This was fun and we're going to do some ads
Speaker 2: and then we're going to walk the red carpet.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do it. Sorry till next time.
