Mauricio Umansky Talks Netflix, Reality TV Career and Remaining Family Oriented

Mauricio. Good to have you here. Congratulations. By the way on the second season of Buying Beverly Hills. Yeah, I'm so excited about that. We announced it yesterday. We got the green light and um I, I mean, the kids, the family, the, the real estate porn, it's gonna be a lot of fun. The real porn here in just a second. I mean, the first season is available for everybody to watch right now on Netflix. But given the fact that we know you and your family through all these years of being on reality television, what made you decide I want to do this and have my own show that's focusing on my own company. 12 years now on television. That's absolutely crazy. Right? Or 12 seasons, right? Um What made me decide to have our own show? I think it was time, you know, it's something that we've been wanting to do for a long, long time. Um And, and just show what happens behind behind the scenes, like everybody gets to see me as like this, you know, loving husbands, always supportive, my wife's always right. Um But now you get a chance to see me you know, at the office as the CEO or the founder, um, you know what's gonna happen now with my kids, the succession. Like I have no idea what that's gonna go down and it's all gonna be told on television. Well, hopefully it goes better than what's happening in the actual show succession right now right now. That's crazy. Let's talk about your daughters because Farrah and Alexia both work for you. Are you almost sort of setting up this generational, you know, sort of business here where your daughters essentially take things over. I'd love to see that happen. I mean, they're going to have to earn it. I'm not setting that up. We see that in the show, by the way, they really have to earn it, they have to earn it for sure. There's a lot of other people that are buying for that position too that are outside of this, that, you know, are not family related. So they're going to have to earn it, but they've got the opportunity and so far just at least the first season, I mean, they're doing incredibly well with some of the properties they're selling. Let's talk about that next season. We know the first season we didn't see your wife Kyle Richards from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on it at all. Are we gonna see her in this next year? We will. Oh, that's great. Why didn't we see her in the last she was probably busy with the other show. Yeah, that was more of a network issue. Let's leave it at that. Ok. By the way, I didn't realize she has her real estate license also. You guys got it at the same time, didn't you wife and I got our licenses together. Uh, we made it a date night. It's in my new book, The Deal Maker. Um, and we made it a date night. She was so supportive and we went out, you know, whatever it was every Tuesday night, I think it was if I remember correctly and we went to class, uh, we went to dinner, uh, we had a babysitter that day and, uh, because we had at the time already and, um, and we got our licenses together and she was just so she gonna join the agency once day whenever the housewives thing doesn't go. Do you see, do you see any of your daughters joining the housewives one day? You know, that's a great question. I hadn't thought about that but that, which one do you think could do it? I think Porsha seems like she, she, I mean, like be Alexia, you know, they're, you know, they're, they're, they're close. But, uh, let's keep Porsha away from that for a good idea.
