I sent him the list, and I also sent him the material breakdown, and I'm sending him the additional things we're asking for. Bobby, also let me say this as well. It's also time and place of when you've got to know people.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I think Liz is a doll. There's people who are terrified of Liz, like Estie. You know what I mean? But Liz is way meaner than Estie. No, never in my life. Not to you or me. Right. Like Patrice used to say, life. Not to you or me. Right. Like Patrice used to say, what's good for me is good.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Right. And Esti has been a sweetheart to me forever. Me and Esti have had our problems over the years. But me and Liz have had our problems. But Liz. Has she ever looked at you like this, Esti? Because that's how she looks at me. She has.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Like world domination down her nose at me. Yeah, she has. I've had situations where I had to call her and be like, what's going on? When I first moved to New York, the rumor was that she banged Rondell Sheridan. That was my favorite. That made me laugh so hard.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Do you remember Rondell Sheridan? And you wonder why she has a problem with you. I'm not Rondell Sheridan. I don't know who that is. He was a comic from the 80s. He did a TV show for a minute. He was on Nickelodeon a lot. Yes, he was like dad,
Starting point is 00:09:05 because he was a very clean comic. I actually opened for him at the Miami Improv back in the day, Coconut Grove, and I remember he was like in between shows, he was like, let's take a walk, and I was like, okay, and I'm just walking with him down through the stores, and I remember he grossed me out
Starting point is 00:09:20 because he bought sandals, and he wore, he was like, he was trying on sandals. And I was like, you're buying sandals? He's like, yeah, and he wore them on the next show. He had like open toe sandals. And I was just grossed out by his foot. I was like, this is, I don't like you anymore. Yeah, you shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:09:37 He also used to do a weird joke where he would talk about, Nice guy though. He would say he looks like a gorilla. And then he would do the face, the McGill gorilla. Seriously, that was like a bit of his, which I was like, even when I was young seeing that, I was like, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It's like he's doing it in the most benign fashion. He doesn't mean anything racial by it. He's just talking about his face, particularly. I only laughed because you said it and then I looked at his photo. Oh yeah. Okay, I got the list. All right, I got it.
Starting point is 00:10:07 I'm gonna hold you up a number when you see. Okay. You see all the lists already? Hang on, let me look one more time. Hip hop, boom bing, bang boom. Zip zap, a little bit of woof. It's a lot of stuff. A little bit of woof.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Okay, here we go. It's too much. Come on. It's a lot of stuff. A little bit of wood. Okay, here we go. It's too much. Come on. It's too much. Come on. I could get a whole new kitchen done for that. I thought it seemed like. We're having, let me tell you what I,
Starting point is 00:10:33 okay, let me tell you what I got done, right? Mm-hmm. And you tell me, I got wall taken out, opened up the whole kitchen, whole kitchen demoed, redone. Electrical, bathroom ripped out, closet ripped out, wall put up, redone. All the floors upstairs, sanded, redone.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Downstairs bathroom, redone. Wall taken out in the bedroom to make the walk-in closet, the closet stuff put up. Your cologne room? My cologne... I have a... My cologne game's on fucking... The very room that sent your son down to the basement.
Starting point is 00:11:13 How great is that cologne room, though? It's a good cologne room. I mean, it's nice. It's a nice cologne room. I had a cologne shelf put in the wall. Oof, it's great. Um, all this stuff done and then I Think it was
Starting point is 00:11:31 40 45 All new kitchen two new bathrooms Electrical lighting that's so much more worse It's if you think about what you're having done, there's no, you're not ripping anything out, you're not demoing anything, you're not redoing a whole new thing. No, there are some things that I've done. Did you ask, let me ask you a question. Did you negotiate at all?
Starting point is 00:11:54 No, that's just a number we haven't, well we've asked some questions. That was the initial price he said. I would try to get him, I would say 15. Well, now we're giving numbers. No, I wasn't giving a number, I was going to say 15 million. Black Lou? Yes, two questions. Does he know your profession? Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:12 You did? You told him? No. Let me ask you another question. Never tell them what you do. And then, he's here's the other big thing about saying no to this guy. I'm pretty sure he's a AWOL Israeli Mossad.
Starting point is 00:12:29 This guy is so sweet, he is so nice, so lovable, amazing with the dog, he is awesome. But he looks like, if I said something wrong, he might like Swayze rip my throat out or something. Let me ask you another question. Yes. What is he driving? Toyota. Toyota Tacoma. A truck. Okay truck is good. Yeah. If they pull up on a Cadillac that means he's not doing the work. He's got a lot of money and he hires other people. He's also local. But that means you're paying twice. Because he's
Starting point is 00:12:58 going to charge you $4,000 extra. He wants his cut and he's going to charge the people who do it this much. Gotcha. so you don't want the guy in the Cadillac you want the guy in the truck that means he's gonna be doing the work that means the money's not going to definitely doing the work Okay, he's a good recommendation from a good source, okay, and I Believe he can get all because he also was able to tell us things He was like getting an electrician for that did you get get a plumber? Here's a here's the best part about when you get a Spanish guy Which I only go with now. They're terrified of you sitting out of the country No, guys, not worried about that. If I make a threat like that this guy will rappel down behind me somewhere
Starting point is 00:13:35 I'm not expecting and take my throat. That's not That is not it. It's called an Israeli necktie But uh, no, it's because my cousin will do this. My like when we got our stuff, I needed my lawnmower. He goes my son, he does a lawnmower. He'll come, he just mowed the lawn and did all the stuff. We need the electrical here is kind of messed up. My cousin's coming. He does electrical. He's gonna come and do it. You know what I mean? It's just like they know every, it's all in house. He's not gonna be like, once you have to go get another guy,
Starting point is 00:14:05 that's a whole nother thing. You know what I mean? That's the big deal too, is this guy's doing all of that stuff. He's doing the plumbing too? There's only one plumbing thing we need done. But all the work, all the paint, all the floor, all the everything.
Starting point is 00:14:18 We have to do wallpaper separately. There's a couple walls, I want wallpaper. But he's ready, he's prepping it for that. Why do you want wallpaper?

It's definitely a modest home.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Modest home for who? You are out of the loop. It's literally double the size of our small apartment. You have a, what is it called in the backyard? What'd you call it? Pavilion. A pavilion, yeah. Oh yeah, modest people have pavilions.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Well, the pavilions are so. I would push back on your calling it a small apartment. No, no, my apartment now? Yes. Yeah, we don't have pavilions. What's a pavilion? I would push back on your, you're calling it a small apartment. Yeah. No, no, I said, my apartment now? Yes. Yeah, we don't have a small apartment. No, it's a home with a- It's three total rooms.
Starting point is 00:19:12 And you have a pavilion. No, no, no, we're talking about my apartment. But now you have a pavilion. There's a pavilion. You have a pool. It's not deep enough. You have a double garage. I mean, you are just a negative Nellie.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I can't, you can't be pleased at all. I am very pleased. No, Jay. This is what... You got to go into it negotiating, man. You got to be like, look, man, I got a certain... I told you, I got a certain budget right now. We're going to need other things done, because here's what's going to happen. They're going to do all the stuff,
Starting point is 00:19:40 and then they're going to find other stuff that needs done. And it's going to be like, look, man, this happened, but we got to... You want to take care of this, too. And that's going to be another 1,000, 1,500, And then they're gonna find other stuff that needs done and it's gonna be like look man this happened But we got a you want to take care of this too, and that's gonna be another thousand fifteen hundred So when they say seventeen they really mean twenty he's also might answer me this am I falling for something because when he was walking Us around he was also very quick to tell you the things he was like I wouldn't Money on that don't spend money. Don't spend money on that. He's like don't spend money on painting this. He goes, this paint's good. This is like very.
Starting point is 00:20:06 No, that's good that he's doing that. Places that I was like specifically, I'm like, are you sure I think we should, he's like, this is good paint. He's like, why would you, he's just gonna make it look like this again. Like, so. No, that's good that he's doing that.
Starting point is 00:20:17 He's saving you a couple bucks here and there. Cause he could just be like, yeah, that's more money. So that's good that he's doing that. But why is he doing that? He's doing that. That's what I'm saying, am I catching, is that the flim of the flam? That's the flim of the flam So what he's doing is and this sounds like a righteous dude by the way because I've dealt with the Russians I've dealt with the Italians. I've dealt with the white guy the the the master carpenter white dude
Starting point is 00:20:38 You got to stay away from him. Yeah, he's gonna cost you a lot this guy straight from the Gaza And Jay did he was able to casually drop in that he was Jewish cost you a lot. This guy straight from the Gaza Strip defending his homeland. And Jay did he was able to casually drop in that he was Jewish. I did a geez are we the only two Jews in this town? He goes no. He goes you please hit me up I'll get a rabbi for you. He started off me a rabbi and I was like oh there's rabbi. I love when I met with him. When I met with him I just thought he was so confident when he was able to get everything done. So he met with me for like an hour, then we went back with Jay. And he asked, by the way, he also said he wouldn't want to give quotes or do anything until he had me there also,
Starting point is 00:21:14 which I thought's a good move. I also think... Do you know why? When someone tries to take advantage of the girl in the situation. He's Israeli and he talks to men, not women. Yeah, that's why I can't negotiate with him. You probably realize that Christine's a dumb bitch. I don't like her fingers when she puts them together in a dominant little stance.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Jason, I will tell you, if she two more times puts hands in face, I bite it off. I think, Bobby, what you've been telling us to do the whole time is get multiple quotes. Yes. So I think I need to, I have somebody else that we know very well that's gonna recommend. I think I need to go through everything with another person.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I am not going to walk through that house again and point out everything and tell them the colors. I'm not doing that again. But I can do it. Get a Spanish guy. Please get a Spanish guy. Here's what you do. Leave it to Christine, Jay.
Starting point is 00:21:58 You got the Albanian or Israeli guy. I have a list. Great. You get the white guy or Italian guy. There's levels to it. You understand? The Spanish guys, they're always going to do it cheaper. They're going to do a great job and they're going to have everything in house.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Can I tell you something? Nothing lowers my confidence in a person more than the confused face of a Spanish person, so a Spanish speaking person when I'm talking to them. When they show that like, and then eventually kind of do like the, oh okay, okay, they did not know what I said, and they're just gonna make a move and hope that that's what I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:22:34 This Israeli guy is not gonna do that. In fact, I'm pretty sure he'll bare hands kill a person who did. You can't talk to, you gotta talk to the main guy. Bobby, I'm nervous that this guy's gonna hurt me if I don't just give him the money. Can I just give him this money, please? No, this is what you do.
Starting point is 00:22:47 You can't, you gotta step up right now. Bobby. What? Get your fingers, Jacob, if you do AOC fingers, I'm going to bite your fingers off. Bobby. Get your, oh, I can't do it. Bobby, Bobby.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Everybody's doing it. Bobby, you're freaking out right now. I can't do it, stop. Black Luke, please don't do it. Bobby. Don't, don't, don't fucking, don't do it. You're skitzing out right now. Get your fingers down.
Starting point is 00:23:07 It's just people trying to talk to you about something. Again, oh no, no, no. You have real life experience of having construction work done to your house. Many times. But for, I would say, 10 years, I've been watching Christine on the Coast. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:24 So I think I know a little something about a little something. Okay. Yeah. I've never seen. It's called your little apartment that you're in. Yes. You know, if I, if I need bookshelves, I'll call you. But I don't know if I ever seen her. If I find out the best place to frame a poster. Give me a call. I ever seen her. If I could find out the best place to frame a poster. Give me a call. I'm your man.
Starting point is 00:23:46 If I need a loveseat that converts to a pullout, I'll give you a buzz. My point is, I've never seen her quote, I don't think she's done a renovation under $100,000. It seems like Trump changed what Jay's recording right now. No, because she's dealing with, you understand the first quote that they give you, you gotta come back and be like, look, can you do it for 15?
Starting point is 00:24:09 And he's gonna go, nah, dude, okay, I'll do it for 15. Just say, hey dude, I gotta... You think he's gonna come down $27,000 on his price? Just keep making up fictitious numbers. You think he's gonna come forty six thousand dollars below his price to meet me somewhere at fifteen. I'm just giving you a number so we can associate it so people can, I'm not giving the real number, I'm just saying the number that would be consistent to what you're being asked to pay. I'm just saying you should
Starting point is 00:24:39 say, you gotta go in, you gotta do your part, He's doing his part. I wanna make the most money I can, but give them a good bit so they go. And then if it avoids, if I could handle this through text I'd write, great. Start tomorrow. Look, you can do that. If you're happy with it, do it. But I would negotiate, just you gotta come in.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I have a budget, we gotta do the pool, we have to do the backyard, we gotta do this, this, and this. I have a certain amount of money I'm dealing with right now because of all the money I put out. Is there any way you could do this for 15? There's gonna be other stuff, I know stuff, and he's gonna be like, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Well, let me tell you a thing that we're also running into. It's great, because I just watched recently the American dad where someone bets them that their relationship couldn't survive a home renovation of any kind. And me and Christina, I believe, are hitting our, we might be splitting up ways based solely off the modern versus the old of us,
Starting point is 00:25:35 and our age difference coming into play, that I really want the basement to have two walls of wood, like wood look panel. And don't make a face. I'm sorry, did I make a face? I didn't know, do it again, do it again. Say it again, just say it again, I'm sorry. I don't know what that was, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Four walls of a basement. You can't, you're making a face at four walls. I think I'm getting Belle Palsy, dude. It's Belle's palsy. That too, I'm getting both of them. I'm getting both palsies. Now guys you are doubling up on your palsy. You want wood paneling along two walls. I think it brings a warmth to the room. It does not bring a wood. Thank you Blackwood.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Nice. Nice like a herringbone like the shiplap type of thing. No more like rustic looking I believe. I need an example. By the way, I didn't ask. Here's what it does with the, if you do wood, it's gonna make it a little darker, right? I had all my floors up top were black, wood floors. Well, my studio will be there too, keep in mind.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Were black wood floors. I was like, I love this, black wood, I never said, I love it. And then Dawn was, of course, now, and she said, we're lightening, they're gonna be all light, and thank God, because it makes the whole place look bigger. So I don't mind if you go darker wood, but it's gonna make it look a little smaller.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's just two walls. All right? And it'll feel warm. You know what you get, what we got for the kitchen? Acoustic wood paneling. They just put it up, and it's acoustic, so it deadens the noise outside and inside and it looks modern yet masculine. Perfect. That's what you get.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Blackley your thoughts? Yeah, quick question. With the price, is there a time constraint on this? Did that be factoring into the price? Did you guys ask for it by a certain time? Yeah, but it's not like by next week. You have to get another person. Just get one more person to come in and give a bid. And you'll see, you'll be like this. He might come in lower and you'll be like, what were we thinking, thank God.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And he might do more or he might come in way higher. You understand? And then you'll be like, you know what, let's go. You gotta get another bid. If you don't get another- It's gonna require doing all of that again. You don't, she can do it. Let her do it. I was expecting it to be about double what painting the
Starting point is 00:27:48 whole house is she's doing the fingers with a thing in her hand she's turned completely she is I was thinking it would be about double what painting the last would be and it's about triple yep so that's why I was a little like are you doing the backyard is the patio included in these renovations? There's nothing there during patio pavilion me pavilion Nothing, there's nothing to do in there. Oh, it's done. So you don't have to do the backyard at all Nope TV out there. Yep. Great. I would just I would say you got to go into these look We have a budget don't have to tell him the budget. I got a budget, I got a lot of stuff to do,
Starting point is 00:28:26 I'm trying to work this out, is there any, can you do, how about, don't even say a number. Can you do me a little better on this? And he's gonna go, he's going to say yes, cause he knows he's going to get you and he's going to do more. You're not paying that number. If you think you're gonna pay that number
Starting point is 00:28:44 and other stuff isn't gonna happen. He said that. What? He told us that. He goes, look, as things come, like when I find out the price will change a little bit. That's a starting point. So start the starting point a little lower.
Starting point is 00:28:54 So that, you know, so my guy came to me in the kitchen. We got a brand new stove. We got this new electric stove because we were gonna go gas and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We just, but Don found the new electric stoves. They heat up, they shut off quick, they're amazing. They convection, they air fry, they do all this stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:29:15 This is how I feel about electric stoves. Is my face showing it? Dude, I feel you. When she said electric, I was like, I don't want electric, but the new electric stove is insane. No, it's great. You got the stove of a comedy condo in fucking Columbus, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:29:30 I feel you, but she assured me, and she was right, that the new electric stoves, the way they work, and it's like the high end, whatever. It's like, it's really great, right? But we had to put a new wire in, and the guy was like, this wire costs six, he said 500, then it went 600,
Starting point is 00:29:48 it's gonna cost you $1,600 to put the wire in. And I went, dude, what are you talking about? When you gave me, you know, I was like, I can do it for 1,000. And he's like, all right, I'll make it happen. So I got, of course you can make it happen. He gave you the wrong wire though. No, he gave me the right wire, but he was. You think so.
Starting point is 00:30:08 The wire cost 400. Right. The work probably cost maybe 600 or 500 to do it. Then he added on his fee and gave the guy a little more money, and then I just took that money away. You understand? And sent his family back to Guatemala? No, Guatemala. But you gotta negotiate, man. You gotta go in, and the way I that money away. You understand? And sent his family back to Panama? No, Guatemala.
Starting point is 00:30:25 But you gotta negotiate, man. You gotta go in, and the way I did it was- I don't think this guy plays games, Bobby. Can't be afraid of your contractor. He looks very scary. What is he, John Wick? He's not gonna kill you. He corrected my behavior with my dog several times.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Whoa. I don't know, just accept it then, dude. I didn't know he did that. He corrected my behavior. Is that your house? That's the pavilion. Okay, the wood paneling up top, is that bringing, you bringing that inside?
Starting point is 00:30:49 Holy shit. That is nice. That's, dude, that is not a common house. No, it is. That's not a common thing in the backyard. Pavilion. No, you have to. You're really lucky to actually get kind of a modest house
Starting point is 00:31:00 with all the features in the backyard that we wanted. Stop, Bobby, They're just my hands I know but they're fucking doing it's driving me baddy I feel like you give him to talk at the Senate enough with the hands about windmills. We need more windmills Pavilion so I don't know Like that type of paneling Jay the Trying to find a picture of it bring up acoustic wood paneling. Look? I know you like dark. I'm trying to find the picture of it. Bring up acoustic wood paneling. Look if you see if you like that.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I love it. Bring up acoustic wood paneling, please. I would just say you should learn to negotiate a little bit. Do not just say yes. Once you say yes, they know you're a pushover. I know, once they see me negotiating, though I think this Israeli guy's gonna see me as a terrorist
Starting point is 00:31:45 No, he's not and he does not negotiate with terrorists. Buddy he likes you. He already likes you even though he doesn't like me He likes that I and tell you let me tell you a friendship I overhammed Hard he goes you're a comedian, huh? He goes what do you think of Modi?

Starting point is 00:32:20 Modi will tell you what to do. He is the best negotiator I know. No, Modi's, it's not gonna tell me what to do. He is the best negotiator. I know no more He's not gonna tell me what to do Can Modi just negotiate can if I have Modi call him this guy will come in his pants He likes Modi so much do it have I'm telling you use everything you got to save money Use it, but if this guy thinks for one second.

Starting point is 00:33:17 Because I let him yell at me about the way I treat my dog? What did he say about the dog? I was trying to stop Dawkins from jumping all over him and he informed me, he goes, stop it, she's fine. I like this You you fucker you're in first gear and then by the end that I when she would be up his ass when he's trying to Tell us something I go Dawkins and he look at me like You got alpha male Yeah, he was I mean he looked like a paratrooper.

I do hang out with dudes. All your fucking guys have silly shit on and do silly shit and say silly shit.
Starting point is 00:34:11 You just met- I told him, but I started telling him too, I went in that same, the shower that has been the bane of my existence since the inspector laughed at me for asking who do I hire to caulk the thing. Ever since he laughed at me for that, I don't even bring it up anymore. This guy saw bitch in my heart
Starting point is 00:34:26 Cuz he goes he goes yeah, he goes we're gonna need to talk down there I go yeah, the guy told me I can do it. He was like don't He was like stay keep your girly ass away from this for you breaking nail This is your first man friend He's not my friend.

Starting point is 00:35:30 Absolutely. Yeah. Sloppy cock is no joke. Right? Yeah. Disgusting. I'm just going to leave Christine home with sloppy cock the entire time when I'm on the road.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah, you want an expert. Yo, could I tell you something? In 1985, this bit would be murdering on terrestrial radio. I... Right now, the phone lines would be ringing. What are these guys saying? Double entendres? This game is wrapped up in phone wires. No, we're all getting fired. Listen, man.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Then there'd be a rally out in Times Square for us. Save Bob and Jay. Save Bob and Jay. You got to man up, bro. Listen man, then there'd be a rally out in Times Square for us You got it you got it you got it you got a man up bro You got a man up go up to him walk right up to him shake his hand firmly But not too firm and not too light. I go hey, how you doing? What's his name again? Elon I I presented my hand to him when I met him You gotta take that off he He noticed it, I think. Of course he did, we all do.
Starting point is 00:36:27 We all do. I think he saw it in my big, long, beautiful eyelashes, and he fucking saw that he could just take me and bend me over. I didn't think about it. First of all, there's nothing you can do about those beautiful eyelashes. I went, this drawer, I've never had drawer trash before.
Starting point is 00:36:42 I've always had trash that has to sit out and about in the house. It's drawer trash, but the had a drawer trash before I've always had trash that has to sit out and about the house It's drawer trash, but the drawer for drawer trash doesn't stay shut And I was like I brought him over there like I was showing him a major home repair He's like yeah, I'll put sure and I was like cuz this if you sit here and stare that you see it opens after a while And it's freaking me out Sure after a while and it's freaking me out. And he was like, sure. He's like, I'll fix that. You got it, dude, you got the voice.
Starting point is 00:37:08 And he did a lot of that. I was like, but I want to make sure he's like, I understand, I get. He would do that a lot of like, calm down, tubs. You're done, dude. You're already out of it. You can't have him talk to you like that. Can I tell you something?
Starting point is 00:37:21 I think I'm gonna give him three more and make it a nice even number. I think I'm just gonna make it a nice even number. I Think I'm just gonna make it a nice even number. Let's just walk away from this all friends I also feel like this guy will be available at any time to correct or do any other job We need and he's local. Did you and this is a guy where you go? Hey, there's everything I said that I was like, oh man I bought a house and I guess this is how it's gonna crumble to pieces. There's a crack that runs right along the seam of the roof
Starting point is 00:37:48 in our bedroom that no one else have noticed on. He's just kinda like, yeah, that's an easy enough thing. As I'm making sure I fix that and I was just like, oh, how'd he get up there? Yeah, just skin coat it, dude. I'm like, that's too scary of a tall ladder to do that. And he's just kind of like, yeah, it's no big deal. So I'm like, now I'll be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:38:08 If he told me that alone was this entire price, I'd go, okay, I guess it's what it costs to have a guy get on a tall ladder in my house. Jake, can I ask you a couple questions? What? Did you wear the mittens when you met him? Ooh, Christine, did I wear mittens? No.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Oh God, thank God. No, no, no. All right, listen, you just gotta, I suggest take the fingernail polish off. It's too late, he's already seen it. Now he's gonna think that I'm in my mind going, oh, that didn't attract him, let me see if he likes me more on Nitro-R.
Starting point is 00:38:38 How about this, why'd you get fingernail polishes at the Israeli flag? Ooh, now if I went blue and white? Blue and white, yeah. Do you like blue and white? Ooh and white. Do I go in white? Ooh, that's not a bad idea. Hanukkah nails? What's that?
Starting point is 00:38:48 This is a wood paneling hand. Yeah, that would. That you want? No, no, no, so no. That's gotta go. No, go back to that and pause it. Ooh, you got a little storage room. Oh, I like that storage room.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Like that, what is that? This is their stuff. What is that, a fake oven? So pause. Now, this right here, this happened twice in the house This is very very funny, and this happened a week ago When we are deep into owning this house already Weeks and weeks in owning this house we went down there
Starting point is 00:39:16 We go you know what what I would like to keep here in this the family room is that the half wall? Upstairs or the half wall to go to the backyard like the back door or the back wall and the front wall the house half the wall is a like white brick facade then I was like that's very nice looking like I don't even want to cover that with too much stuff and like the other day like last week we went over there and I was like because I do love this brick it's wallpaper with pictures of bricks on it. Right there.
Starting point is 00:39:47 It's not even facade. It's not a facade at all. And that goes on both sides of that room. It's just wall, it's sticker of brick. No idea. Then in the basement the other day I go, I know I want to put my studio right in here and I do like this wooden wall.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Wall-so wallpaper. The wood is wallpaper it doesn't go all the way down to the floor either it's not done well looks good in the photo though doesn't it looks good in person I thought we had wood and brick inside the house of which we have neither so those that'll be so that and the one that you'd be standing at to take this picture there you go right there that will be done with actual facade. That's involved in this price. No, that we're just getting,
Starting point is 00:40:27 this we're getting taken down and painted because it's gonna be blocked by a couch and a crate anyway. We're not doing it there, but on the other side we are. Here we're getting brick facade. But if Elon says we have to, I will. Yeah, if Elon thinks it's better. And then go to that other thing, the wood in the basement. It's a sticker.
Starting point is 00:40:44 It's so infuriating. So get one accent wall. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So here's better. And then go to that other thing, the wood in the basement. It's a sticker. It's so infuriating. So get one accent wall. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So here's what I want to do. I want to do that one. Wood. Wood, and then let the video go. And then that.
Starting point is 00:40:54 This whole back wall. And then to that. We were going to paint it burgundy. That's all. I think it'll look nice. I said I think it'll look very, like, cabin. Can you bring up acoustic wood wall covering? Look at it.
Starting point is 00:41:08 In the kitchen. You know how they have that fake wallpaper brick? Yeah, do you want to fucking talk to this guy, Bob? Because I'm not bringing up any new ideas. I will. If you want me to do it, I can do it. Please do not piss off, Elon. I'm not going to piss him off, dude.
Starting point is 00:41:21 I know your Boston bullshit's going to come out. I've done it so many times. Dude, my contractor in New Hampshire, this guy's from the woods. What, do you treat me like a fucking cocksucker? Dude, this guy, when I told him, when the inspector was coming to the house to inspect the plans, the blueprints of what we were doing, I was like, Barry, what if they don't,
Starting point is 00:41:41 there was a new thing, I go, what if they don't approve this? He goes, what the fuck do you mean? I go, what if they don't there was a new thing you I go what if they don't approve this he goes What the fuck do you mean? I go what if they don't approve this because it's not what it was supposed to be goes He'll fucking approve it if it is a fucking approve it. I'll light his fucking trees on fire. I was like, okay He goes last he goes last inspector didn't prove it I went to his house and I burnt the I burnt I burnt the pine trees, two pine trees, big ones. I lit them on fire.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Is this what happens when you start smoking cigars with people? I don't know, dude. You find all this crazy shit about them? But I, like. There's acoustic wood. Up there, dude, I just let Barry, I let him do whatever the fuck he wants.
Starting point is 00:42:17 He goes, we gotta do this. I'm like, okay, Barry. And I go, Don, pay him. Me and Don are both scared, and I'm pretty sure he wants to fuck Don. I'm 100% sure. This guy, if he wants Christine, Don, pay him. Me and Don are both scared, and I'm pretty sure he wants to fuck Don. I'm 100% sure he's gonna show up. This guy, if he wants Christine, will just take her. Yeah, I think Barry would.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Elon? I might let Barry have a go at Don just to get some stuff done. I don't have any recourse or special set of skills that can solve this if Elon takes Christine back to the motherland. You just gotta hear the screams in the other room of pleasure. Yeah, but I couldn't hear you.
Starting point is 00:42:49 I couldn't hear you because of the acoustic wood. Can't hear you. Oh, God, yes! Finally! Mazel Tov! Mazel Tov! Adonah Lumpetary calls me! I knew I was deeper than that!
Starting point is 00:43:02 Haaa... Mmm-hmm. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Look it, that's acoustic wood pant. They have a bunch of different styles. Yeah. I like that.
Starting point is 00:43:12 But that goes right up on the wall, and it's acoustic, so when you do your studio, you won't hear some shit in the backyard. Look at that, one in the middle, the one in the middle. Right over to the left, down, one right there. Look at that, that's nice. Jay, is this also your music room? Yes. Oh, then you wanna the left down one right there. That's nice. Jay's is also your music room Yes, oh then you want to you put that you can rock out Probably and they'll know but none of your neighbors are gonna bitch like a bunch of pussies
Starting point is 00:43:34 It's good to fucking see the post and that just goes up in paneling So you buy a bunch of panelings and just stick it up on the wall now What do you think is gonna throw it up to Christine and even 70k because I'm willing to do that I'm only to do that. I'm willing to jump. Here, can I give you another suggestion? Yes. Don bought all the stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Find out what you need, you buy it. Because if they buy it, you're paying more money. Well, I was told that we were paying less money because he gets like, they get contractor deals. On certain things, but you buy it. Like Don went and bought the shower stuff the tile she went and picked up Everything this is so easy for you to see when you don't have to mix it up with this fucking guy, man This guy means business and he means it bad. Okay, and he told me I have till tonight to get him his money
Starting point is 00:44:21 He told me I have to pay him the entire thing first, No, you don't That's not what he said to me, buddy. You do not pay the entire amount Are you crazy? So I don't know if you're supposed to but he gave me the quote while he had my shirt Like twisted up in his fist and pulling me close to him. You can't pay please. Tell me you're not paying him You have to pay him a piece He starts the job. Yeah, then you pay him another piece in the middle that it's going well. No, he said cash money in a bag. No, no, no. A duffel bag, and there better not be any ink dye
Starting point is 00:44:51 things in there, or trackers. What about if you can't pay him up, you're not paying him all up front. First things first, he checked me and Christine for air tags, what do you think that was about? He goes, before I get to numbers, turn around. What about casually if your friend Bobby just happened to be at the next negotiation? With this guy yeah
Starting point is 00:45:13 There's no more in-face negotiations with this guy. We're telling him yeah or nay first of all I don't want anything to do with this guy You might you get Modi over there Maybe this is a job for Modi. Yeah a gay. I never thought I'd say that my entire life I gave you is not afraid of anything He's not no. No, you're hurting my friends feelings Call up Modi talk to Modi. I don't know like that. I know you want me to call him for you. Yes Sick Modi on this guy. Yes Modi will talk to the guy. Can Modi call the show right now?
Starting point is 00:45:45 Yes. Let's see if he can get me out of this. Not out of this. I guess a better price. But I gotta say, this all seemed fair when he said it to me. When the number was brought to me, I was like, I don't know, I have no acknowledgement,
Starting point is 00:46:00 I'm not rich, so this is not a lot of money to me. It's just, it seems like a crazy amount of work that I thought I was gonna have to hire a bunch of different people for, and this guy assured me at knife point that that would not be the case. It seems, like I said, I watch TV shows and they don't seem to do anything under 100 grand,
Starting point is 00:46:22 so this seems like a good price. No. That's a good price. No. That's a full house remodel. I didn't see the list. I didn't see the list. It is not a whole house remodel. It is a whole house fixing. No, I'm saying the 100 grand project.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Yeah, 100 grand is... No, she'll do the 100 grand on the kitchen alone. Listen, you're dealing with a TV show. You're not going to know the real numbers. It's all fucking bullshit. I'm talking from... I've done it four times, actually. The tiny house...
Starting point is 00:46:42 I had a plot of land with nothing and had to build everything from scratch. Three homes, remodeling, I've done this so many times. You have to go in, I have a budget. You have to go in fake like you don't have money. Well, Christine already said, she said he's a comedian and he's been having an amazing few years. She oversold.
Starting point is 00:47:06 You can't. I take my watch off. She gave all the big venues I played but didn't say that I was opening for people. She's like, oh, this guy just shut down the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Is that the right number, Lou? Yeah. Lou, can you grab that? Make sure that's the right number.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Modi's going to call in right now and help you. We're going to get you Jewish help right now. Thank you. You good? Yes, it's number. Modi's gonna call in right now and help you. We're gonna get you Jewish help right now. Thank you. You good? Yes, it's good. It's good? Just give me one second here. I need this Jewish help.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Here's the deal, dude. You can't just go yes, you have to stick up for your family. I said goodbye to this guy and almost assured him in my head that I will be seeing you again real soon. I showed my ass completely, and then I pulled the cheek aside for him. And then I winked with my asshole. Hey, Elon. Yeah, if you buy the stuff,
Starting point is 00:48:00 whatever you can buy, buy yourself. No. And have, Jay. What? You're gonna get fucking. We went to Home Depot the other day, I freaked out in five different aisles and then we stared at toolboxes for tools we don't have yet.
Starting point is 00:48:11 You don't do it, have her do it. She was there. Christine will do it, she'll go pick it up. You'll be good. No, here's the problem with Christine, I walk, everything we walk by, I go, cause again, I'm like, these are the doorknobs we'll get, let's pick up these doorknobs and she's like,
Starting point is 00:48:24 ah, I'm like, ah, I'm like these are the doorknobs we'll get let's pick up these doorknobs and she's like everybody the great Modi's online very funny comedian and negotiator no Modi it's Robert Kelly and the great Jay Okerson what's up boys what's up buddy how are you thank God, doing well. Listen, we have a question. Look, I've- Wait, wait, wait, first let me tell Modi why he's involved in this at all. I was just about to. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:52 I was just about to. Okay. You've bought apartments, I've bought houses, it's a process, and remodeling, and getting contractors to come in. And I've said to Jay, you got to get more than one bid. You got to negotiate. You can't just go on what they say.
Starting point is 00:49:10 But for some reason, Jay's having a hard time. And I really need you to help him right now. He has a contractor. He just bought his first home in Jersey. It's beautiful. He has to get a bunch of things done to it. Not major things, but a bunch of stuff. And he, the guy gave him a bid, and I said,
Starting point is 00:49:27 the bid's a little high, you should negotiate that down a little bit, and he is frightened of this man, I believe because he's in the Masad, you said? He definitely looks like it. And... Oh, he's Israeli, he's Israeli? He's very Israeli, his name's Yalon, and... Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Here's why... I told you, you gotta go for the Mexicans, dude. No, no, no. This guy's gonna get the job done for sure. But, Modi, why you came, was, so Christine, and Bobby's already made a Christine for this, Christine had told the guy when she met with him without me that he was that she told him that I was a comedian so in the middle of our meeting with him the other day yesterday he brings up he goes he'll see you're a comedian he goes how do you feel about
Starting point is 00:50:14 Modi and then Modi I'm not gonna lie to you I oversold our friendship real heavy think I even made suggestion that you'd pop by while they're doing work maybe and cheer them up during lunch. So I heavy oversold that. He was very very excited about me knowing you and then went on to give a price that Bobby says is pretty high. But I don't feel like this guy's down for negotiations And I like that. He's doing everything was it was the word cash Mentioned at all No cash wasn't mentioned. Oh, can I say this?
Starting point is 00:50:55 He's gonna do a job that would be you'd have to do more for it if it was Yeah, if you do cash you get a better deal yeah if you do cash if you go look dude I'm gonna pay you all in cash if you pay in cash or part of it in cash you do it not not that you have any cash you guys we don't work with cash anymore right but um but I don't know first of all see you have to see the whole broke the whole brought tip picture You don't have time to be there, right? Right, you need to know from someone that he's what that he's worked with if they were happy with the job and and working with him
Starting point is 00:51:40 Yes, you have that we do have that Christine, correct? You have then that's that's a big thing That's a big if you found someone that they had that what he worked with and they're happy Yeah, what is his name thing? Oh? Ian we just have the we have a recommendation from somebody we trust but not somebody that he's actually I'm not sure if he's done work For that guy personally oh boy. He showed me pictures. Yeah, we saw pictures I'm pretty sure one of them was a Vanderhoof fields house, and he didn't do it, but still he also works on very nice houses Which are like. Which is not a good thing. Okay, but the question is,
Starting point is 00:52:08 like they say he takes your job, he takes your deposit, and then he's working somewhere else and his guys can't come over. You need to see if he has other jobs happening. To ask him, like, are we your priority once you take this job? Do you have anything else happen? Are you closing down any other jobs
Starting point is 00:52:25 and how far away are they? J, Modi, J's never going to say that to anyone. What do you mean? Christine will. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Oh. Christine doesn't care if this crazy Israeli gets fucking mad. Talk to me, what kind of work, what kind of work are you doing? Bobby sent a list. Okay. Oh yeah. Christine's gonna- I'm gonna send you the list right now.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Bobby sent you the list of the work. It's a lot of work! But hear this, hear this. He gave you a great thing so you can negotiate. How much can you do this for if I pay you in cash? That's your negotiating thing. So out of the gate you can go, hey, you're going to be starting this and this is your job right?
Starting point is 00:53:02 Like you don't have other stuff going on. How much will you do this if I give you cash? I don't understand why everyone keeps saying cash, but I mean, we'd be able to like, Zelling him anyway, that's cash. No, if you give him cash, like we pay in cash, a lot of the stuff. Zero paper trail.
Starting point is 00:53:18 I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying cash is king. I'm just saying cash, cash is king. That's all we need to say. We're not gonna embellish on that. But it's also... You really got to find someone that he worked for. Even if you ask him, can you give me a recommendation of somebody you worked for and don't even go see how was working with him.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Was he responsive? Did he come back to you? Did his employees always show up? And then when it's over, there's a punch list at the end You got to like make sure that the doorknob said that this is the life pictures are all in Was he available for that or like once the big stuff was done that he you lost him. He lost him He's not even listen. I am listening. He's panicking. I am panicking right now. It's just I told him I was Jewish. You know, I told him that I was Jewish it made a it made him very excited
Starting point is 00:54:07 but then Again, the emotional bullying not his fault just the type of person as we are He then offered me access to his rabbi, which I think I accepted and I haven't I've never been to a Synagogue in my life, I think except for my friends bar mitzvahs Who's this rabbi It's a great question Christine isn't mad at Where's the house where's the house New Jersey Okay, so let me tell you one thing that we got this guy really really really if you showed him somebody else's appraisal Or I told him that I said you should get another quote
Starting point is 00:54:46 And the guy might come in lower and then you show that guy the quote and he'll that Right, they they work it out now. Am I held guilty when he asked me who gave you that quote I give a name and that guy turns up dead Because I do think this guy does not fuck around You guys want to keep dicking around with Elon and I'm telling you Elon sorry Keep it in perspective. This is a man that installs toilets So it's not like this isn't massage. Okay, this is he is 12 toilets. Mm-hmm Easy, he's not all that Jay Jay thinks that's a front for what he really does
Starting point is 00:55:23 I'm pretty sure his yarmulke was made of Palestinian scalps wait he he what he would he with the yarmulke all the time no no he has a shaved head and he was wearing a bomber jacket it looked he could have been either which is a strange look that these things do cross over. He could be high ranking military, like, combat, massade, or raging white supremacist. It just so happens that his look goes along more with like the Israeli military guy.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Very nice, very, very nice. Well here's the thing, he's to go cash you got to you got to get another bid and you got to at least when is this bid happening I'm not going through all this again with somebody you'll go on Thursday you you get somebody to come in there who takes a look at and says it gives you another estimate you want then you show you compare and you can show if you like a lawn more you show Ilan what this guy says. If it's less. You want my guy?
Starting point is 00:56:28 The guy I just worked with? You want the guy I just worked with? Who's your guy? My guy. Really, I wanna just bring and show Modi off like a trophy. To this guy. How about now? I'll be happy to get on the phone with this guy.
Starting point is 00:56:41 I'll be happy to get on the phone with Ilan. What's this price if every four days, Modi shows up with bagels? Modi, I told him that he should kind of not be like, cry poor, but be like, look, I got a budget. I have to stay in this budget. We just spent a lot of this money on this house. Christine's already told him off my high level extraordinary
Starting point is 00:57:06 Things I've done. I think she even when we got there. She was like oh, he just got a hundred thousand on YouTube Jesus Christ you gave him all his residents. He doesn't know he doesn't know no he doesn't know that stuff She just knows that you're a comedian and he you know me Yeah, I'll tell you what though probably the most important thing for him to know here's the thing you have Modi call and you go Probably the most important thing for him to know. Here's the thing, you have Modi call and you go, Modi would be like, hey, make sure you, you know, give him a better deal. Modi can negotiate a little for you, right Modi?
Starting point is 00:57:32 I think Modi to make him squirm.
