We have nothing like this.

I mean, we're just so excited

You... you have believed

He is literally pretending
to play a guitar.

I hope to see more of it on the show.

Oh. You'll see more of a lot of stuff.

All G-rated, of course.

[MARTHA CHUCKLES] I would hope so.

And as we move forward
thinking about the season,


maybe also we aren't focusing so much

on the people who lived
in the homes before.


We love Fernando and
his mother, so sweet.


And we think it might
be more digestible

is bringing awareness to the area

on these issues, you know?

because then we can
really feature the homes

maybe something like that

would be interesting for you

just so you could feel more confident

in front of the camera, you

you're so confident

Well, if I'm already so funny,

it's just a waste of money then, right?

[WHITNEY] What, uh...

"I wanna alert everyone

thief in the neighborhood.

It's just that you assured
us that the people you brought

into this neighborhood would be
in harmony with the community.

And we don't know anything
about his packages.

[WHITNEY] Of course not.

once we close on Palmer Lane,

we're gonna have some extra cash.

this house no longer
qualifies as passive.

Ah, I didn't know that.

So you're venting the
air then to the outside?

The home is its own ecosystem.

It's not designed for a gas stove.

Well, I figured since it's my home,

I just wanna make it how I love it.

Yes, I am venting.

misinterpreted as an accusation.

It's fine. Just leave it.

Oh, gosh.

Go, go. Come on, Freckle.

Hurry up.

[ENGINE STARTS]

See, it's tough.

The whole show is
integrating the two buyers

into the community, so...

I know, but Whitney
doesn't wanna use Vic

for anything beyond the pilot.

And that's, like, for sure, for sure.

So, can you do it with
our Palmer Lane buyers,

Dennis and Lucinda?

[DOUGIE] Yeah. I guess so.

I just thought Vic would be pretty funny

because, um, he's single.

So, him at a fiesta would
be kind of... [CHUCKLES]

I mean, he was also r*cist
to the entire neighborhood,

so I don't think we can use him.

Come on. That's the kind of stuff

I want in the show, man.

Racism?

No, but, like, conflict.

I'm sure you can make,
uh, with your skills,

Dennis and Lucinda
seem r*cist, too, so...

- [SCOFFS]
- I'm obviously joking.

[DOUGIE] Don't tempt me there.

All right. Fine. No Vic.

Look at us, huh?

Making a TV show.

[SCOFFS] Yeah.

[DOUGIE] Boys are back.

Asher and Big D back on the lake.

[SCOFFS] Back on the lake.

Look, man...

[EXHALES SHARPLY] I
just wanna say I'm sorry,

you know, for bullying you
all those years at camp.

You never bullied me.

There was the time at Sports World

where we ditched you and the
pantsing at the swim meet.

Uh, we were just joking around.

Yeah, right?

- [ASHER] Yeah.
- It was fun.

All right. Look, the point I
was trying to make about Vic was

just because Whitney has a moral issue

with something that's happening,

we just toss it away?

Come on. You know our show
barely got picked up, right?

- Really? The show?
- [DOUGIE] Yeah. Yes.

The pilot could have been so good.

You had you with the reporter, right?

Chasing her around, the
little girl cursing you,

the yogurt argument, all that stuff,

we're letting them go,
throwing them in the trash.

You know how hard it
is to get that stuff?

I don't know.

I'm just trying to protect
what we've got here.

And you know Whitney better than me,

so, what can we do about it, right?

[ASHER] Yeah. Well...

my only advice would
be to get used to it

'cause she's not gonna change.

[DOUGIE] Oh, great.

What is this stuff?

Oh, Stars and Stripes.

Two-and-a-half-liter bottle.

Local cola,

about a dollar-ish.

Maybe buck twenty-five, dollar-thirty,

depending on where you shop.

It's kind of crazy actually.

The girl that did that curse thing...

she was actually living in
one of the houses we bought.

[DOUGIE] That's crazy.
Here. Let me have one.

What do you think of this jacket?

- Good?
- [ASHER] Nice, yeah.

I can pull it off.

Seventeen hundred bucks.

[CHUCKLES] It's a lot. Yeah, it's nice.

[DOUGIE] Cool.

It's actually kind of funny, I...

so I said to her, the girl,

as like a joke, I was, like, "Oh,

what was the curse you did to me?"

And, uh...

she told me

that she took the
chicken out of our pasta.

But the night she did that,

there's actually chicken
missing from our pasta.

We had a chicken pasta
from our delivery thing.

- [DOUGIE] Hmm.
- [ASHER] It's, like,

what are the odds?

So she... she said that
and then that happened, huh?

[ASHER] Yeah.

Well, it happened before.

But I guess she thought
it... I don't know.

What is it?

Let me show you something. Come here.

- [ASHER] Can I sit?
- [DOUGIE] Yeah, yeah.

Here, watch this.

[GIRL, ON VIDEO] I curse you.

[ASHER, ON VIDEO] [LAUGHS] Okay. Okay.

- I'm gonna go get... okay?
- You hear that?

[ASHER, ON VIDEO] So I'll
be right... just stay here.


I'm getting change.

I curse you.

[LAUGHS] Okay.

Okay. I'm gonna go get... okay?

- [ASHER] The static?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Right after she
said, "I curse you,"

it went... [IMITATES STATIC SOUND]

Isn't that just interference,
though, from the distance?

Because I was far away from you guys.

[SIGHS]

Look, I'm debating whether I
have to even tell you or not

but...

[ASHER] What?

[SIGHS]

I was cursed.

[LAUGHS]

[DOUGIE] I'm serious.

What? Wait, by who?

I don't know.

There's nobody that in particular

that I can point to, but...

there's no other way I can
explain what happened...

[SIGHS] with, um, Melanie.

Oh. I thought... I
thought it was an accident.

It was. It was, but...

I happened to be drunk that night.

Nothing, nothing makes sense.

And then...

I'm not... I don't wanna talk
about this anymore, all right?

So with a younger workforce
coming into the corporate world,

ironically, there are
gonna be a lot more words

that we're gonna need to avoid.

But the good news is, sometimes,

uh, some of the funniest
jokes that we tell,

we don't even know why
we're laughing, right?

We don't even need words, right?

So what we're gonna do is
we're gonna go around the circle

and then we're gonna
try to see if we can make

the whole group laugh...

not using any words, okay?

No words. So I'll go first.
