1
00:00:01,689 --> 00:00:02,793
[Jonathan] He's one of
the greatest comedians
in the world
2
00:00:02,793 --> 00:00:05,206
and a fantastic judge
of talent.
3
00:00:05,206 --> 00:00:07,724
For those closest to
Howie Mandel, know him as
4
00:00:07,724 --> 00:00:10,655
an incredible friend, with a
passion for giving back.
5
00:00:10,655 --> 00:00:13,482
Oh, security here is crazy.
Come on in.
6
00:00:13,482 --> 00:00:16,448
[Jonathan] And his
best friend and tour
manager of 30 years
7
00:00:16,448 --> 00:00:19,000
is about to be the
recipient of that love.
8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,275
He takes care of his family,
he takes care of me,
9
00:00:21,275 --> 00:00:23,448
he takes care of everybody,
but himself.
10
00:00:23,448 --> 00:00:26,310
[Jonathan] Fifteen years ago,
Rich got divorced and
had to make
11
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:28,517
a quick move into
a dated condo.
12
00:00:28,517 --> 00:00:30,965
- I've seen that in a bar
when I was 19.
- So did he.
13
00:00:30,965 --> 00:00:32,793
[Jonathan] But he hasn't
updated since.
14
00:00:32,793 --> 00:00:35,310
Those were the only things
his wife didn't take.
15
00:00:35,310 --> 00:00:38,000
[Jonathan] Howie wants to
change that, and while
Rich is on the road...
16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,482
[Howie] Whenever you're
frustrated, go into a
close friend's home
17
00:00:41,482 --> 00:00:43,172
and just [bleep] it up.
18
00:00:43,172 --> 00:00:45,034
[Jonathan]
...he's turning his
buddy's bachelor pad...
19
00:00:45,034 --> 00:00:46,482
I'm over at your apartment.
20
00:00:46,482 --> 00:00:47,379
You're at my apartment now?
21
00:00:47,379 --> 00:00:48,827
- How far out are you?
- About ten out.
22
00:00:48,827 --> 00:00:51,586
[Jonathan] ... into a
sophisticated and
well-deserved retreat.
23
00:00:51,586 --> 00:00:53,103
[Rich] Wait, where are we?
24
00:00:53,103 --> 00:00:55,448
[upbeat music playing]

00:01:05,551 --> 00:01:08,068
People know Howie for
being a great comedian
27
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:10,413
and a TV personality,
movie personality
28
00:01:10,413 --> 00:01:11,793
- but he also has a big heart.
- Yeah.
29
00:01:11,793 --> 00:01:14,689
On the surface, yeah,
ha-ha funny but inside,
30
00:01:14,689 --> 00:01:16,344
he's a very, very caring guy.
31
00:01:16,344 --> 00:01:19,448
Yeah and Howie and Rich
have known each other
for over 30 years.
32
00:01:19,448 --> 00:01:21,689
I mean, they work together
but they are best friends.
33
00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:24,517
Anytime we've ever seen
Howie, like, Rich is
34
00:01:24,517 --> 00:01:25,931
- somewhere close by, so...
- Yeah.
35
00:01:25,931 --> 00:01:29,758
...was Rich his manager,
is Rich family, I didn't know
36
00:01:29,758 --> 00:01:32,689
because they don't have an
employee-employer type relationship.
37
00:01:32,689 --> 00:01:34,103
It's, it really is
like family.
38
00:01:34,103 --> 00:01:37,344
You know how, you know
how he loves Rich
39
00:01:37,344 --> 00:01:39,413
because the world's most
famous Germophobe is willing
40
00:01:39,413 --> 00:01:42,379
to do demolition and get
his hands dirty to give
back to him.
41
00:01:42,379 --> 00:01:44,275
Do you think?
'Cause he hasn't,
42
00:01:44,275 --> 00:01:47,206
Howie hasn't said necessarily
that he's gonna roll up
the sleeves and...
43
00:01:47,206 --> 00:01:48,896
[Drew]
I think he will,
I bet... I bet he will.
44
00:01:48,896 --> 00:01:50,241
[Jonathan] Well, I guess
we're gonna find out.
45
00:01:52,758 --> 00:01:53,862
[Jonathan] All right.
46
00:01:53,862 --> 00:01:54,931
[knocks on door]
47
00:01:54,931 --> 00:01:56,448
[Drew] Let the fun begin.
48
00:01:56,448 --> 00:01:58,379
[Howie] Come in,
here we go.
49
00:01:59,413 --> 00:02:01,344
[Jonathan] C...can we?
[laughs]
50
00:02:02,689 --> 00:02:04,517
[doorbell ringing]
51
00:02:04,517 --> 00:02:05,827
[Howie] Just let me get it!
52
00:02:05,827 --> 00:02:07,586
[Jonathan laughs] There we go!
53
00:02:07,586 --> 00:02:11,172
[exhales] Security here is
crazy. Come on in, come on in.
54
00:02:11,172 --> 00:02:13,517
[Drew] We've known Howie and
Rich for years, so when Howie
55
00:02:13,517 --> 00:02:16,620
asked us to give Rich the home
he deserves, we were all in.
56
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:20,344
Yeah, Howie also told us that
he hasn't been inside
Rich's condo
57
00:02:20,344 --> 00:02:23,758
since helping his best friend
move in 15 years ago.
58
00:02:23,758 --> 00:02:27,758
He just wants to give Rich
a place to be comfortable in
and to be proud to call home.
59
00:02:27,758 --> 00:02:30,137
I feel like this is your
domain 'cause you love like
60
00:02:30,137 --> 00:02:32,275
pranking and like, surprising
and all that stuff.
61
00:02:32,275 --> 00:02:36,275
I do love pranking and
I love surprises, but this is,
62
00:02:36,275 --> 00:02:39,655
this is even more than any
prank I've ever done, any
surprise I've--
63
00:02:39,655 --> 00:02:41,413
Whoa! Look at that!
64
00:02:41,413 --> 00:02:43,379
I've seen that at a bar
when I was 19.
65
00:02:43,379 --> 00:02:44,448
So did he.
66
00:02:44,448 --> 00:02:45,931
[all laughing]
And he took it with him.
67
00:02:45,931 --> 00:02:49,517
It's pretty much what Howie
explained it to us as.
68
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:51,448
[Jonathan] It feels
like a frat pad.
69
00:02:51,448 --> 00:02:53,172
So, he's been here
15 years?
70
00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:56,689
Fifteen years ago, his married
life kind of went sideways.
71
00:02:56,689 --> 00:03:00,758
She just... left and it was
really hard for him because
72
00:03:00,758 --> 00:03:03,379
he lost everything, you know,
he lost the house and
73
00:03:03,379 --> 00:03:07,517
everything and then quickly
because we only had two or
three days that we were in LA,
74
00:03:07,517 --> 00:03:09,551
he moved into this
bachelor pad
75
00:03:09,551 --> 00:03:11,379
and all he could take
with him like that
76
00:03:11,379 --> 00:03:14,413
- the house and everything--
- Oh, my gosh!
77
00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:17,689
[Jonathan] I thought that
bottle caps was like a
college statement.
78
00:03:17,689 --> 00:03:20,827
I think these are things that
he collected when he was in
79
00:03:20,827 --> 00:03:24,586
college and those were the
only things that his wife
didn't take. [chuckles]
80
00:03:24,586 --> 00:03:26,344
- Oh wow.
- You know, he had really,
81
00:03:26,344 --> 00:03:31,103
nothing, he bought a couch,
he had, um, the pennies
in his pocket.
82
00:03:31,103 --> 00:03:34,931
[Howie] This is where he lives
now but he is so much
more than this.
83
00:03:34,931 --> 00:03:39,068
And he's had just the
most horrific year, last year,
84
00:03:39,068 --> 00:03:41,000
- his father passed away.
- Oh no.
85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,206
And he had to travel alone
and take care of it himself.
86
00:03:43,206 --> 00:03:46,344
He takes care of his family,
he takes care of his mother,
87
00:03:46,344 --> 00:03:48,344
he takes care of his daughter,
he takes care of me,
88
00:03:48,344 --> 00:03:51,241
he takes care of my fam...
he takes care of everybody
but himself.
89
00:03:51,241 --> 00:03:53,068
- Mm-hm.
- I don't know anybody that,
90
00:03:53,068 --> 00:03:56,827
equals the goodness that
comes with Rich Thurber.
91
00:03:56,827 --> 00:03:59,310
[Howie] Everything I do is
informed by comedy,
I've been on the
92
00:03:59,310 --> 00:04:01,241
road for 45 years.
93
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:07,413
And about 30 years ago,
I needed more help on the road
94
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:12,000
so I talked to a couple of
my friends and they
recommended this guy
95
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,758
who was coming off the road
and, uh, he joined me.
96
00:04:15,758 --> 00:04:19,000
[Rich] It was just an
instant click, we became
best of friends
97
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,482
and then the work environment,
it's not like, 9 o'clock,
6 o'clock see you later
98
00:04:22,482 --> 00:04:25,482
Work till 6 o'clock and then
we get in the plane and we fly
99
00:04:25,482 --> 00:04:27,275
and we'd do
a concert that night.
100
00:04:27,275 --> 00:04:32,103
[Howie] Probably spent
more days with him
in the past 27 years
101
00:04:32,103 --> 00:04:34,413
than I have spent with my
own wife and children.
102
00:04:34,413 --> 00:04:37,758
And then as we got to know
each other, I just, this guy
is a good guy.
103
00:04:37,758 --> 00:04:40,103
So when we started having like
birthday parties for my kids
104
00:04:40,103 --> 00:04:42,103
he wasn't only on the road, he
came to the birthday parties.
105
00:04:42,103 --> 00:04:45,413
And then the kids had
a relationship with him and
then he has his kid.
106
00:04:45,413 --> 00:04:49,413
So McKenna, I feel his
daughter is like my daughter.
107
00:04:49,413 --> 00:04:52,931
What began as a working
professional relationship
108
00:04:52,931 --> 00:04:55,413
became a
personal relationship,
we're like brothers.
109
00:04:55,413 --> 00:04:57,344
[Rich] He's the
first person I call,
110
00:04:57,344 --> 00:05:00,724
if something happens or
I need some advice at any
time day or night.
111
00:05:00,724 --> 00:05:03,482
He'll stop everything he's
doing and he'll help you.
112
00:05:03,482 --> 00:05:05,482
You know, Howie and I have
been through thick and thin,
113
00:05:05,482 --> 00:05:07,896
so many amazing things
we've done together.
114
00:05:07,896 --> 00:05:11,172
Couple things that were very
like, hard in our lives.
115
00:05:11,172 --> 00:05:13,000
[Howie] When he went
through a horrible divorce,
116
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,620
he lost his center, you know,
he lost his home,
117
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:19,310
he lost the... a family life.
118
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:24,172
This is a man, that... his
whole life is in service
to others.
119
00:05:24,172 --> 00:05:27,000
And whether it be his
daughter, whether it be
his friends
120
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,689
or... or somebody he works
with, or even a stranger
121
00:05:30,689 --> 00:05:34,862
there is nobody that I know
that will always, always
122
00:05:34,862 --> 00:05:38,448
put everybody ahead
of himself.
123
00:05:38,448 --> 00:05:41,206
[Rich] He really cares
about people
124
00:05:41,206 --> 00:05:44,275
and he shares that experience
with me and he shares it
with my family
125
00:05:44,275 --> 00:05:48,137
I've got some amazing
stories where, um, [chuckles]
126
00:05:48,137 --> 00:05:50,137
well, my dad... sorry.
127
00:05:52,965 --> 00:05:54,620
My dad would come to the show
128
00:05:56,068 --> 00:06:00,344
uh, and he loved seeing Howie,
[stammers] sorry, guys.
129
00:06:01,655 --> 00:06:04,413
And he would always like,
get him a room at the casino,
130
00:06:04,965 --> 00:06:05,793
take care of him.
131
00:06:07,758 --> 00:06:10,310
And I really appreciate that.
132
00:06:10,310 --> 00:06:15,517
[sniffs] So, when my dad
passed, he was, he was really
there for me, you know.
133
00:06:15,517 --> 00:06:18,448
[Howie]
Life isn't always easy,
this has been a hard time
134
00:06:18,448 --> 00:06:21,689
and nothing makes you feel
better than to be a small part
135
00:06:21,689 --> 00:06:23,862
of doing something for
somebody else.
136
00:06:23,862 --> 00:06:27,551
Even though he gets a
paycheck, he is my family.
137
00:06:27,551 --> 00:06:31,275
If you collectively put
together all the days
he's actually slept
138
00:06:31,275 --> 00:06:34,206
in this condo versus being on
the road with you working.
139
00:06:34,206 --> 00:06:35,551
More with me.
140
00:06:35,551 --> 00:06:37,931
He's probably in 15 years
only stayed here for a month.
[laughs]
141
00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:39,965
Right, but he, but when he
stays here, you know, even
142
00:06:39,965 --> 00:06:42,137
when we're on the road,
we always go, uh,
I just wanna get home.
143
00:06:42,137 --> 00:06:44,413
And it's bit of like a musty
kind of a smell when
you come in here.
144
00:06:44,413 --> 00:06:47,862
Well, this is the exact carpet
that he had like, 15 years ago
145
00:06:47,862 --> 00:06:50,793
so carpet holds, you know,
you know just like you walk in
146
00:06:50,793 --> 00:06:54,275
if there's fresh hardwood,
if there's fresh carpet
you get that smell,
147
00:06:54,275 --> 00:06:57,379
this is the carpet that was
brought in 15 years ago.
148
00:06:57,379 --> 00:06:58,896
[Howie] You know I was in
the carpet business.
149
00:06:58,896 --> 00:07:01,482
- Oh, I forgot that, yes.
- In Canada.
150
00:07:01,482 --> 00:07:03,655
Now, does Rich know,
we're here doing anything?
151
00:07:03,655 --> 00:07:06,758
So, this is what I did, so,
we're doing some productions
152
00:07:06,758 --> 00:07:10,137
and I said he needs
to be where we're doing
the production
153
00:07:10,137 --> 00:07:12,758
so, he's used to this,
I got him a hotel room.
154
00:07:12,758 --> 00:07:16,137
I can keep him there for
about, three or four weeks.
155
00:07:16,137 --> 00:07:18,448
I don't even know what you're
gonna do but I was thinking
156
00:07:18,448 --> 00:07:22,000
like, this is the main focal
point, like, this area needs
157
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,931
something, this area
needs anything.
158
00:07:23,931 --> 00:07:27,379
I would imagine everything
happens here.
159
00:07:27,379 --> 00:07:30,862
[Howie] Rich, he's a fan of
rock and roll, so there's
guitars everywhere.
160
00:07:30,862 --> 00:07:33,517
He's a fan of collecting
things whether it's
161
00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:36,620
bottle openers or cans,
wherever, I'm wondering
162
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:39,275
where does all this crap go
that he collects?
163
00:07:39,275 --> 00:07:43,793
Well, he recycled it, himself
and turned it into his
wall art and furniture.
164
00:07:43,793 --> 00:07:45,689
There's no appeal
over here.
165
00:07:45,689 --> 00:07:48,620
So I think we can
add a bit more wow factor
to the feature wall.
166
00:07:48,620 --> 00:07:51,793
I know that he loves the fire,
he loves candles.
167
00:07:51,793 --> 00:07:55,000
This is the centerpiece,
he, I'm... I'm sure I can
see him, you know,
168
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,758
sitting here each and every
night that he's home.
169
00:07:56,758 --> 00:08:00,310
[Jonathan] Honestly, I think
the angle of the fireplace
is a little bit dated.
170
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:02,862
If we did something that
was more built-in and
more intentional
171
00:08:02,862 --> 00:08:06,000
we can also make it look like
the TV is not just free
floating on the wall.
172
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,827
I think there's a way to
balance all of the fun and
173
00:08:09,827 --> 00:08:12,000
collectibles from the road
174
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,379
with a place that actually
feels grown up and relaxing
175
00:08:15,379 --> 00:08:16,586
and put together.
176
00:08:16,586 --> 00:08:19,586
Let me show you what
the other areas are.
177
00:08:19,586 --> 00:08:23,241
This is a kitchen, but, uh,
if I had to envision a nook
178
00:08:23,241 --> 00:08:27,034
or a cranny, there's not a
lot of room in here.
179
00:08:27,034 --> 00:08:29,931
[Jonathan] I mean, you have
galley kitchens and then
you just, I mean this is.
180
00:08:29,931 --> 00:08:32,344
Well, look at this, you guys
are big, I'm not a big guy
181
00:08:32,344 --> 00:08:35,344
I could just, I can't even
extend, I can't--
182
00:08:35,344 --> 00:08:39,000
If we were cooking, I would be
showing you how to make
pasta like this.
183
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,206
- Spooning?
- It's really tight in here.
[chuckles]
184
00:08:42,206 --> 00:08:45,586
Wow, spoon fed my dinner
from the Property Brothers.
185
00:08:45,586 --> 00:08:47,896
[Howie] This is... there's
no room in here.
186
00:08:47,896 --> 00:08:49,827
Can you open the oven
and the fridge?
187
00:08:49,827 --> 00:08:51,310
Just barely.
188
00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:53,000
[Howie] Look at the room
that we have.
189
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,689
- Yeah.
- Look at the... come on out.
190
00:08:54,689 --> 00:08:56,896
- This is like...
- Careful.
191
00:08:56,896 --> 00:09:00,344
- Let me go.
- There we go. [chuckles]
192
00:09:00,344 --> 00:09:03,896
So can you get more space,
is there any way to get
more space in here?
193
00:09:03,896 --> 00:09:08,310
[Jonathan] Honestly, the only
thing you can do I think
is to pull this wall back.
194
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:10,965
We need wall space for
cabinetry otherwise
he's gonna have even--
195
00:09:10,965 --> 00:09:13,482
But if you lost this wall,
where would you put the
196
00:09:13,482 --> 00:09:15,379
stove and the microw... like,
you can't just.
197
00:09:15,379 --> 00:09:18,758
This might be one of those
projects where you wanna
delete the window.
198
00:09:18,758 --> 00:09:20,965
- I'm getting claustrophobic.
- Yeah.
199
00:09:20,965 --> 00:09:22,655
- This his daughter?
- That's his daughter.
200
00:09:22,655 --> 00:09:24,724
- And this is his girlfriend?
- That's his girlfriend.
201
00:09:24,724 --> 00:09:28,482
His girlfriend Alex was
instrumental in helping me
202
00:09:28,482 --> 00:09:30,344
- get him out of here,
- Oh good.
203
00:09:30,344 --> 00:09:33,758
you know, and said she made it
like, more exciting that
they'll stay in the hotel.
204
00:09:33,758 --> 00:09:35,413
So, she's kind of in on it.
205
00:09:35,413 --> 00:09:38,275
Rich's girlfriend has been
kinda keeping her boyfriend
in the dark a little.
206
00:09:38,275 --> 00:09:40,413
Yeah, Rich has no idea
what's going on.
207
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:43,931
Howie puts him in hotels
to be closer to production
all the time.
208
00:09:43,931 --> 00:09:46,586
So Howie and Alex's top
secret tactics are gonna
209
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:49,310
ensure that Rich is
floored when he finally
comes home.
210
00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:51,068
This is where all the
magic happens.
211
00:09:51,068 --> 00:09:51,931
[giggles]
212
00:09:54,344 --> 00:09:56,068
[Drew] So, I have to be
totally honest.
213
00:09:56,068 --> 00:09:58,413
Coming in here, I thought
this was maybe his
daughter's bedroom
214
00:09:58,413 --> 00:10:01,482
'cause of the skateboards
and the teddys on the beds.
215
00:10:01,482 --> 00:10:03,034
So this is his bedroom?
216
00:10:03,034 --> 00:10:04,655
[stammers] Yeah.
217
00:10:04,655 --> 00:10:06,758
Yeah, I do... I have
no explanation.
218
00:10:06,758 --> 00:10:09,931
This is a prime example
of someone who
219
00:10:09,931 --> 00:10:11,310
is not home enough...
220
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:13,482
- Right.
- ...to really think about,
221
00:10:13,482 --> 00:10:15,103
how they'd like to
curate their room,
222
00:10:15,103 --> 00:10:18,000
how they'd like to pick
furniture that goes together.
223
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,275
[Drew] I mean, it does feel
like a dorm room,
it really does.
224
00:10:20,275 --> 00:10:23,137
However, I feel there's
so much we can do
225
00:10:23,137 --> 00:10:25,206
just to freshen it up and
make it feel like a great
226
00:10:25,206 --> 00:10:26,655
adult space for him
and his girlfriend.
227
00:10:26,655 --> 00:10:30,275
I think that he felt the loss
for the home that he had
228
00:10:30,275 --> 00:10:33,448
and for the last 15 years he's
been living
like a college kid.
229
00:10:33,448 --> 00:10:35,758
He's never invited me
over once to this.
230
00:10:35,758 --> 00:10:38,517
Let's give him back a space
he can be proud of bringing
family and friends over.
231
00:10:38,517 --> 00:10:40,137
He deserves it.
232
00:10:40,137 --> 00:10:43,034
[Drew] Howie wants
to transform
Rich's dated bachelor pad
233
00:10:43,034 --> 00:10:45,655
into a stylish grown up space.
234
00:10:45,655 --> 00:10:48,206
First, we'll rip out that
awkward hallway wall
235
00:10:48,206 --> 00:10:50,137
to open up the
cramped kitchen.
236
00:10:50,137 --> 00:10:52,620
Then we'll swap that front
window with seamless
237
00:10:52,620 --> 00:10:55,724
wrap around cabinetry
for much needed storage
238
00:10:55,724 --> 00:10:58,068
and add a custom
panel-ready fridge.
239
00:10:58,068 --> 00:11:01,482
A stunning peninsula that
boasts a substantial porcelain
240
00:11:01,482 --> 00:11:04,275
surface will be perfect for
cooking or entertaining
241
00:11:04,275 --> 00:11:06,965
and will even make the most
of that under used stair
242
00:11:06,965 --> 00:11:09,724
closet by adding a state of
the art appliance garage.
243
00:11:09,724 --> 00:11:12,724
A built-in banquette
will replace Rich's
bottle top table
244
00:11:12,724 --> 00:11:15,137
to provide a sophisticated
dining set up
245
00:11:15,137 --> 00:11:17,344
whether with his girlfriend
or with guests.
246
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:21,206
Light toned luxury vinyl
floors will replace the
worn carpets
247
00:11:21,206 --> 00:11:23,965
and modern iron railings on
the side of the stairs will
248
00:11:23,965 --> 00:11:26,275
add to the sleek
aesthetic, throughout.
249
00:11:26,275 --> 00:11:28,793
In the living room, we'll
continue to elevate the space
250
00:11:28,793 --> 00:11:31,862
with a new focal feature
fireplace, light walls
251
00:11:31,862 --> 00:11:34,034
and modern yet
comfortable furniture.
252
00:11:34,034 --> 00:11:35,827
And finally, the bedroom.
253
00:11:35,827 --> 00:11:38,965
New paint, bedding and
decor will add a more
254
00:11:38,965 --> 00:11:42,862
sophisticated look that Howie
says Rich desperately needs.
255
00:11:42,862 --> 00:11:45,724
Not gonna lie, three and a
half weeks is definitely...
256
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:47,724
stressful.
257
00:11:47,724 --> 00:11:49,655
I don't think I can hold him
any longer than that.
258
00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:51,448
There's only one way
we can actually pull it off.
259
00:11:51,448 --> 00:11:52,689
[Howie] How's that?
260
00:11:52,689 --> 00:11:53,965
You gotta get your
hands dirty.
261
00:11:53,965 --> 00:11:56,068
I'm never ready to
get my hands dirty.
262
00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:58,655
You gotta get in, you gotta
get your hands dirty, you
gotta do the demo.
263
00:11:58,655 --> 00:12:00,379
We'll bring you
a little something
to keep you clean.
264
00:12:00,379 --> 00:12:03,275
[whispers]
Help me. Help me.
265
00:12:03,275 --> 00:12:06,448
- Yeah, it's happening.
- It's happening.
266
00:12:06,448 --> 00:12:10,103
[Howie] This means more than
the aesthetic feel of
repainting a wall
267
00:12:10,103 --> 00:12:13,034
and getting a new floor
and fixing up a kitchen,
268
00:12:13,034 --> 00:12:16,172
that's all nice, but more
importantly, this
269
00:12:16,172 --> 00:12:17,758
is about giving back.
270
00:12:17,758 --> 00:12:22,034
I think this is going to be a
symbol just, how much
271
00:12:22,034 --> 00:12:25,586
you know, we care about him
and how deserving he is.
272
00:12:30,896 --> 00:12:32,275
[upbeat music playing]
273
00:12:35,896 --> 00:12:37,758
- Hello!
- Hey!
274
00:12:37,758 --> 00:12:38,793
Demo time.
275
00:12:38,793 --> 00:12:40,310
Grr... look at that!
276
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:41,689
You know what that means.
277
00:12:41,689 --> 00:12:43,862
- That is eye protection.
- Pardon me?
278
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:45,172
Eye protection.
279
00:12:45,172 --> 00:12:46,620
Can't hear you,
got goggles on.
280
00:12:46,965 --> 00:12:47,931
[laughing]
281
00:12:47,931 --> 00:12:49,827
So what's the goggle on
the top protecting?
282
00:12:49,827 --> 00:12:51,448
These are just for reading.
283
00:12:51,448 --> 00:12:54,275
I mean, you look comfortable,
those are the most comfy
overalls I've ever seen.
284
00:12:54,275 --> 00:12:55,275
Swolveralls.
285
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:57,379
And we're done.
286
00:12:57,379 --> 00:12:59,482
I won the door prize.
[laughing]
287
00:12:59,482 --> 00:13:02,344
You said that you had
experience, you were in the
carpet business before,
288
00:13:02,344 --> 00:13:04,344
have you ever done
any demolition?
289
00:13:04,344 --> 00:13:06,206
Um, do they have a bleep
thing on this show?
290
00:13:06,206 --> 00:13:07,241
Yeah.
291
00:13:07,241 --> 00:13:10,344
I [bleep] up the whole room,
once, by accident.
292
00:13:10,344 --> 00:13:12,793
I've never demo'ed
anything, purposely.
293
00:13:12,793 --> 00:13:15,482
Honey, will you get me
the good dishes out of
the cupboard?
294
00:13:15,482 --> 00:13:17,413
[door slams]
295
00:13:17,413 --> 00:13:20,344
Oh, it's not in this one,
maybe... maybe it's up here.
296
00:13:20,344 --> 00:13:21,758
[banging]
297
00:13:21,758 --> 00:13:23,172
I'm afraid.
298
00:13:23,172 --> 00:13:24,689
I gotta get the dish!
299
00:13:27,137 --> 00:13:28,517
[Jonathan] Your method
is that way.
300
00:13:29,241 --> 00:13:30,413
[cupboard slams]
301
00:13:31,206 --> 00:13:32,413
That's our method.
302
00:13:32,413 --> 00:13:34,344
People are gonna say when
they see this episode,
303
00:13:34,344 --> 00:13:37,275
I love the episode where you
just pulled down his drawers.
304
00:13:37,275 --> 00:13:40,172
I thought I told a lot of
dad jokes but Howie,
he takes the cake.
305
00:13:41,689 --> 00:13:43,206
Ha ha ha!
306
00:13:43,206 --> 00:13:44,862
I gotta tell you the demo...
307
00:13:44,862 --> 00:13:46,206
Whoa!
308
00:13:46,206 --> 00:13:47,689
...released so much tension.
309
00:13:47,689 --> 00:13:50,413
[Howie] This is the best
day of my life. No!
310
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:51,896
- Give me that.
- No!
311
00:13:51,896 --> 00:13:52,931
No!
312
00:13:52,931 --> 00:13:57,275
I just... just destroying,
open me up.
313
00:13:57,275 --> 00:13:58,758
- Thank you.
- You're on a time out.
314
00:13:58,758 --> 00:14:00,896
- In the closet, in the closet.
- This is the best.
315
00:14:00,896 --> 00:14:02,068
It's like watching children.
316
00:14:02,068 --> 00:14:03,034
Oh, look at that.
317
00:14:03,034 --> 00:14:04,586
[Jonathan] Did I get my
reciprocating saw?
318
00:14:04,586 --> 00:14:05,586
[laughs]
A what?
319
00:14:05,586 --> 00:14:06,931
I'm gonna saw you in half.
320
00:14:06,931 --> 00:14:08,827
I didn't saw you in half,
so why you reciprocating?
321
00:14:08,827 --> 00:14:10,482
Actually no, you know
how this works is,
322
00:14:10,482 --> 00:14:12,827
do you need a trim up it all.
323
00:14:12,827 --> 00:14:15,689
Can I say, I have
never been happier.
324
00:14:16,103 --> 00:14:17,482
[whirring]
325
00:14:18,689 --> 00:14:19,586
[hammering]
326
00:14:19,586 --> 00:14:21,137
Oh ho!
327
00:14:21,137 --> 00:14:23,758
[Howie] Whenever you're
frustrated, go into a
close friend's home
328
00:14:23,758 --> 00:14:26,413
and just [bleep] it up.
329
00:14:26,965 --> 00:14:28,241
You'll feel better.
330
00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:31,275
[Drew] I have
a question for you.
331
00:14:31,275 --> 00:14:34,172
What sort of amazing
routine do you think
Jonathan and me
332
00:14:34,172 --> 00:14:37,172
as amazingly talented
twins could perform?
333
00:14:37,172 --> 00:14:39,344
Everybody ask me, if like,
if you were in AGT,
what would you do,
334
00:14:39,344 --> 00:14:41,586
like, what would
they do, they're actually
very talented.
335
00:14:41,586 --> 00:14:42,827
uh, performers.
336
00:14:42,827 --> 00:14:44,482
I cannot think of what
you guys could do.
337
00:14:45,827 --> 00:14:47,137
Synchronized demo.
338
00:14:47,586 --> 00:14:49,482
I love that!
339
00:14:49,482 --> 00:14:50,827
[Howie] Let's try it!
340
00:14:50,827 --> 00:14:53,000
They came up with
synchronized demo
341
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,448
Get it, grab a mallet
and you grab a crowbar
or something like.
342
00:14:56,448 --> 00:14:58,068
I produced it.
343
00:14:58,068 --> 00:15:01,482
Okay, ready?
Five, six, seven, eight.
344
00:15:01,482 --> 00:15:03,034
[whirring]
345
00:15:03,034 --> 00:15:05,724
Oh wow, beautiful from
that angle, oh, my God!
346
00:15:07,241 --> 00:15:10,689
[Howie] When you hear the
music and you see the pyro
and the sparks...
347
00:15:10,689 --> 00:15:13,275
More sparks, more sparks!
348
00:15:13,275 --> 00:15:17,000
...and the movement and
the synchronicity that those
brothers have...
349
00:15:18,172 --> 00:15:21,068
That's beautiful, that was
beau... you know what,
350
00:15:21,068 --> 00:15:23,344
you guys are going
on to the next episode.
351
00:15:23,344 --> 00:15:25,551
- Golden ticket!
- Wow!
352
00:15:25,551 --> 00:15:27,931
I mean, I'm just,
oh, my God.
353
00:15:29,068 --> 00:15:30,517
Ask me something else.
354
00:15:30,517 --> 00:15:32,689
- Go! Come on, come on!
- I'm going.
355
00:15:32,689 --> 00:15:34,620
- No, you're a cheater.
- No.
356
00:15:34,620 --> 00:15:36,137
[laughing]
357
00:15:36,137 --> 00:15:37,000
Go, go, go, go!
358
00:15:40,724 --> 00:15:42,517
- What?
- Dude, that is the worst roll.
359
00:15:42,517 --> 00:15:44,551
That's not rolled.
Mine is rolled.
360
00:15:44,551 --> 00:15:47,137
I was in the carpet business
before you guys were born.
361
00:15:47,137 --> 00:15:49,310
I am the original rug rat.
362
00:15:49,310 --> 00:15:54,965
Wow! We got
the bona fide germophobe
to get his hands dirty.
363
00:15:54,965 --> 00:15:56,758
Because that's the way I roll.
364
00:15:57,551 --> 00:15:59,344
I feel like we deserve
a medal.
365
00:15:59,344 --> 00:16:01,310
As far as demolitions go,
366
00:16:01,310 --> 00:16:03,758
this is not the best,
not the most productive.
367
00:16:03,758 --> 00:16:04,931
This is the funniest.
368
00:16:04,931 --> 00:16:07,620
I play it low-key like
I don't know what I'm doing.
369
00:16:08,275 --> 00:16:09,758
But... [chuckles]
370
00:16:09,758 --> 00:16:12,551
It's like,
I'm sure they were surprised.
371
00:16:12,551 --> 00:16:15,000
I'm sure even the people
at home were going,
"Oh, my God!
372
00:16:16,448 --> 00:16:17,896
He's such a natural.
373
00:16:18,793 --> 00:16:19,758
How does he do it?"
374
00:16:25,241 --> 00:16:26,275
- Go!
- I'm going.
375
00:16:26,275 --> 00:16:27,724
[narrator] Howie Mandel is
giving back to his
376
00:16:27,724 --> 00:16:30,655
30 year best friend
and road manager, Rich.
377
00:16:32,172 --> 00:16:34,068
His married life
kind of went sideways.
378
00:16:34,068 --> 00:16:35,034
He lost everything.
379
00:16:36,275 --> 00:16:37,620
He takes care of his family,
380
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:38,862
he takes care of me,
381
00:16:38,862 --> 00:16:40,827
he takes care of everybody,
but himself.
382
00:16:40,827 --> 00:16:43,586
He really cares
and I really appreciate that.
383
00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:45,482
Because that's the way I roll.
384
00:16:52,793 --> 00:16:55,586
[Drew] With only three
and a half weeks
for this entire build,
385
00:16:55,586 --> 00:16:57,172
we're hitting
the ground running.
386
00:16:57,172 --> 00:16:59,724
Howie insists
on a new modern fireplace
for Rich,
387
00:16:59,724 --> 00:17:02,724
so we need to get behind
the walls to see what
we're working with.
388
00:17:02,724 --> 00:17:06,137
Retrofitting new
gas fireplaces into old condos
389
00:17:06,137 --> 00:17:08,586
can be a bit of a challenge
with supplying venting.
390
00:17:08,586 --> 00:17:11,620
So what we find
will affect our final design.
391
00:17:11,620 --> 00:17:15,068
So while our electricians run
the lines for
the new kitchen layout
392
00:17:15,068 --> 00:17:16,896
and update
the existing wiring,
393
00:17:16,896 --> 00:17:20,965
Howie is back
to give us some real insight
into Rich's design taste.
394
00:17:20,965 --> 00:17:22,931
I just wanna get
a temperature check first
395
00:17:22,931 --> 00:17:24,724
because I know
you're colorblind.
396
00:17:24,724 --> 00:17:27,000
- Like usually, I--
- Well, here's the good news,
397
00:17:27,655 --> 00:17:28,758
there are no colors here.
398
00:17:28,758 --> 00:17:30,310
[laughing] Ya, exactly, right.
399
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:34,137
So I trust you
with the material
400
00:17:34,137 --> 00:17:36,965
and I don't trust me
with colors,
but I will tell you this.
401
00:17:36,965 --> 00:17:40,620
I see when he comments
on when we check
into really nice hotels.
402
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:43,206
He likes
a clean contemporary--
403
00:17:43,206 --> 00:17:44,448
Like he'll walk in and go,
404
00:17:44,448 --> 00:17:45,793
"Isn't this cool?"
405
00:17:45,793 --> 00:17:48,000
You know, so clean
and contemporary.
406
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,620
Okay. So then,
maybe instead of
a shaker style,
407
00:17:50,620 --> 00:17:51,965
we can do a slab style.
408
00:17:51,965 --> 00:17:54,517
Slab style means we don't have
the graveled in part.
409
00:17:54,517 --> 00:17:55,758
It's just all clean.
410
00:17:55,758 --> 00:17:58,620
I would think cleaner
is better.
411
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:00,448
I know when he says to me
when we go down...
412
00:18:00,448 --> 00:18:02,206
"These rooms are great.
413
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:04,137
We should see if they have one
of these hotels in this city."
414
00:18:04,137 --> 00:18:05,793
- It's always--
- Modern.
415
00:18:05,793 --> 00:18:07,103
Yes.
416
00:18:07,103 --> 00:18:08,793
You know, we're constantly
on the road.
417
00:18:08,793 --> 00:18:12,034
It comes up almost everyday
when we check into a hotel.
418
00:18:12,034 --> 00:18:13,655
He goes, "Is your room cool?
My room is great.
419
00:18:13,655 --> 00:18:15,724
You gotta see my room.
I love this"
420
00:18:15,724 --> 00:18:18,620
Now everything here
is exactly what he likes.
421
00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:22,482
I don't like to go too modern
to a point where something
feels soul less.
422
00:18:22,482 --> 00:18:24,310
You walk in
and there is no personality.
423
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:27,310
I think before Rich had maybe
a little too much personality
in here.
424
00:18:27,310 --> 00:18:30,689
Well he had the personality
of an 18 year old college boy.
425
00:18:30,689 --> 00:18:31,689
Exactly.
426
00:18:31,689 --> 00:18:34,344
So now he's like a grown up
contemporary man
427
00:18:34,344 --> 00:18:36,896
who's just enjoying life
and that's what this--
428
00:18:36,896 --> 00:18:40,344
And do you think
he would be okay going lighter
on the cabinets?
429
00:18:40,344 --> 00:18:41,827
Because what I thought
is even though now
430
00:18:41,827 --> 00:18:44,448
all the light from
the back here flows through,
431
00:18:44,448 --> 00:18:46,931
the white cabinets I think
would really help bounce
that light around.
432
00:18:46,931 --> 00:18:48,206
I'm gonna go with the white.
433
00:18:48,206 --> 00:18:51,379
But maybe we can cut contrast
those cabinets in the kitchen.
434
00:18:51,379 --> 00:18:54,103
And the light one with maybe
something darker.
435
00:18:54,103 --> 00:18:55,931
- Oh for the built in banquet?
- Yeah.
436
00:18:55,931 --> 00:18:57,344
Yeah, absolutely.
437
00:18:57,344 --> 00:19:00,551
We could do our
built in banquet in the black,
white on that.
438
00:19:00,551 --> 00:19:03,344
And then we wanna
bring in our stone.
439
00:19:03,344 --> 00:19:06,275
I was thinking of doing like
a two tone kind of a thing
440
00:19:06,275 --> 00:19:08,241
where we maybe do
what looks like
441
00:19:08,241 --> 00:19:10,655
natural marble
for the backsplash.
442
00:19:10,655 --> 00:19:13,000
This is the premium white.
443
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,620
But then I have something--
444
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:17,517
I like this because to me,
this looks like concrete.
445
00:19:17,517 --> 00:19:19,068
- This is actually porcelain.
- Yes.
446
00:19:19,068 --> 00:19:20,758
Okay. Floors. So--
447
00:19:20,758 --> 00:19:23,034
Natural and light.
448
00:19:23,034 --> 00:19:25,413
I don't like the darker...
Like that or that.
449
00:19:25,413 --> 00:19:30,172
And then we could pick up
color with art and things
that we add to it.
450
00:19:30,172 --> 00:19:32,724
I will handle
all the color pops.
451
00:19:32,724 --> 00:19:34,896
- I won't.
- I know. [laughs]
452
00:19:34,896 --> 00:19:36,724
Let's talk about
window coverings.
453
00:19:36,724 --> 00:19:40,241
Is there anything
that we can do
that is incredibly dramatic?
454
00:19:40,241 --> 00:19:43,586
Because when you walk
into this place,
you know that...
455
00:19:43,586 --> 00:19:46,034
until you settle in to it,
it's a focal point.
456
00:19:46,034 --> 00:19:47,862
I'd like something
that reaches--
457
00:19:47,862 --> 00:19:50,103
- You wanna go like right up?
- Yes.
458
00:19:50,103 --> 00:19:52,413
Then we could do something
as well that would
stand out nice
459
00:19:52,413 --> 00:19:54,379
kind of in the middle there.
Something like that.
460
00:19:54,379 --> 00:19:55,862
So we've got our...
461
00:19:55,862 --> 00:19:57,931
So we can go something
like that.
462
00:19:57,931 --> 00:20:02,379
We can also put a...
on this too
so it will give them privacy.
463
00:20:02,379 --> 00:20:03,689
Look what I've done here.
464
00:20:03,689 --> 00:20:06,068
- Created a palate.
- Ya.
465
00:20:06,068 --> 00:20:08,517
You know, you're hoping
he's gonna like it.
466
00:20:08,517 --> 00:20:11,034
I know he's gonna like it.
I know he's gonna love it.
467
00:20:11,034 --> 00:20:13,620
I know he's gonna burst.
I can't wait.
468
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:16,103
It is the most fun
to have you here
when we're working
469
00:20:16,103 --> 00:20:18,758
because everybody's laughing,
everyone's having a good time.
470
00:20:18,758 --> 00:20:20,344
You actually do bring
a good energy.
471
00:20:20,344 --> 00:20:23,275
I do. And I am a joy
to work with.
472
00:20:23,275 --> 00:20:26,379
I am a joy to just be around.
473
00:20:26,379 --> 00:20:29,517
And I just can't put
in to words how lucky you are
474
00:20:29,517 --> 00:20:30,931
to just spend
this time with me.
475
00:20:30,931 --> 00:20:31,896
No, I'm serious.
476
00:20:32,482 --> 00:20:33,793
You are such a lucky--
477
00:20:46,724 --> 00:20:48,689
[Jonathan] It's the beginning
of the second week
478
00:20:48,689 --> 00:20:51,241
and the crew
is in every corner making
this space
479
00:20:51,241 --> 00:20:53,344
into one that Rich
can be proud of.
480
00:20:53,344 --> 00:20:55,620
We're framing out
the bottom half
of the old closet
481
00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:58,068
beneath the stairs
so we can add the peninsula.
482
00:20:58,068 --> 00:21:00,310
And we're closing off
the kitchen window as well
483
00:21:00,310 --> 00:21:03,931
allowing for more
functional layout throughout
for Rich to entertain.
484
00:21:03,931 --> 00:21:06,827
And a nook
where he can actually cook.
485
00:21:06,827 --> 00:21:09,344
With the electrical in,
we're closing up the walls
486
00:21:09,344 --> 00:21:12,448
bringing us one step closer
to the finish line.
487
00:21:12,448 --> 00:21:15,655
And while our crew begins
to lay down
the new sleek vinyl floors,
488
00:21:15,655 --> 00:21:18,758
Victoria and I are headed
to pick out
the right fireplace feature
489
00:21:18,758 --> 00:21:21,413
that will turn
this bachelor pad
into a relaxing retreat.
490
00:21:33,482 --> 00:21:35,724
This fireplace has been
the being of my existence.
491
00:21:35,724 --> 00:21:38,448
We could not find a gas unit
492
00:21:38,448 --> 00:21:41,137
that would work
in the sides venting
that we have in that condo.
493
00:21:41,137 --> 00:21:42,655
Do you think that it would
just be universal?
494
00:21:42,655 --> 00:21:47,137
It's a huge problem
to swap out old units
in condos.
495
00:21:47,137 --> 00:21:50,068
And I feel like fireplaces
are so beautiful.
496
00:21:50,068 --> 00:21:51,965
And it just sets an ambience.
497
00:21:51,965 --> 00:21:54,482
Ah, you speak French?
498
00:21:54,482 --> 00:21:56,103
What if we save
all the hassles
499
00:21:56,103 --> 00:21:57,931
with trying to find
the right venting for the gas.
500
00:21:57,931 --> 00:21:59,172
Why don't we just do electric?
501
00:21:59,172 --> 00:22:01,827
Electric are nice.
502
00:22:01,827 --> 00:22:04,862
But I don't think
it can ever be as nice
503
00:22:04,862 --> 00:22:08,379
as the beautiful real flame
that a gas fireplace
can provide.
504
00:22:08,379 --> 00:22:10,379
But do me a favor.
Give the electric a chance.
505
00:22:10,379 --> 00:22:12,379
I'm keeping an open mind.
506
00:22:12,379 --> 00:22:14,310
But I kinda want gas.
507
00:22:18,896 --> 00:22:21,034
Victoria and I,
we've a lot of things
to consider.
508
00:22:21,034 --> 00:22:23,517
- We have to make
a decision today.
- I know.
509
00:22:23,517 --> 00:22:24,758
How modern do we go?
510
00:22:24,758 --> 00:22:26,827
What sort of elements
do we have within
the fireplace?
511
00:22:26,827 --> 00:22:28,310
This is one option.
512
00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:29,689
Yes. And this is what
I'm talking about.
513
00:22:29,689 --> 00:22:32,620
Going electric is not
a bad thing if it looks real.
514
00:22:32,620 --> 00:22:33,862
It is nice, yeah.
515
00:22:33,862 --> 00:22:36,689
It's a good looking electric.
I will give you that.
516
00:22:36,689 --> 00:22:38,379
You're a good looking guy.
517
00:22:38,379 --> 00:22:40,379
How tall we want
the fireplace?
518
00:22:40,379 --> 00:22:41,551
Do we center the fireplace,
519
00:22:41,551 --> 00:22:42,965
or do we keep it
in the corner?
520
00:22:42,965 --> 00:22:45,517
Do we stack the TV
on top of the fireplace?
521
00:22:45,517 --> 00:22:47,413
Instead of having it
in the corner,
522
00:22:47,413 --> 00:22:48,620
- what if we were--
- What is this gas?
523
00:22:48,620 --> 00:22:50,413
Ya, the gas looks amazing.
524
00:22:50,413 --> 00:22:52,344
But what if we were to pull it
over to the center wall,
525
00:22:52,344 --> 00:22:54,724
Then we could put the TV
right above it.
526
00:22:54,724 --> 00:22:58,655
My hesitation with that
is that on that wall,
527
00:22:58,655 --> 00:23:01,724
we have the staircase
that is directly to the left, right?
528
00:23:01,724 --> 00:23:05,655
But what if we still shove it
in the corner
to a cornering unit--
529
00:23:05,655 --> 00:23:07,586
- Like an L shaped fireplace?
- Ya.
530
00:23:07,586 --> 00:23:10,068
Then we can play around
with the height of the TV,
531
00:23:10,068 --> 00:23:13,241
instead of putting it above
and kind of, you know,
having to look up.
532
00:23:13,241 --> 00:23:15,275
But the TV,
if we put it on the left,
533
00:23:15,275 --> 00:23:17,827
we can kind of bring it down
and it's more comfortable.
534
00:23:17,827 --> 00:23:19,448
What's the unit
you're talking about?
535
00:23:19,448 --> 00:23:21,000
Over here.
536
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,034
I kind of had my heart set
on this when I saw it.
537
00:23:24,034 --> 00:23:27,551
Wait. Are we like
in a five star Dubai hotel?
538
00:23:27,551 --> 00:23:28,758
That's fancy.
539
00:23:28,758 --> 00:23:31,137
It's just so beautiful
and this is the brand
540
00:23:31,137 --> 00:23:33,827
that actually has
the vent size that we need.
541
00:23:33,827 --> 00:23:36,034
Oh, it is. Can we get this
in an L shape?
542
00:23:36,034 --> 00:23:37,137
They do have an L shape.
543
00:23:37,137 --> 00:23:39,827
And they do have it
in a smaller size, a 45.
544
00:23:39,827 --> 00:23:42,068
So we need a standard height
like that, a 16 inch.
545
00:23:42,068 --> 00:23:43,655
- Okay.
- This is stunning.
546
00:23:43,655 --> 00:23:45,965
So basically we'll have
that L shaped in the corner.
547
00:23:45,965 --> 00:23:47,965
- And then we'll have
the TV right here.
- Yes.
548
00:23:47,965 --> 00:23:50,896
So it will kind of feel
like a one piece of unit
on that wall.
549
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:52,137
I like that.
550
00:23:52,137 --> 00:23:54,931
At the end of the day,
we just want Rich
to feel at home.
551
00:23:54,931 --> 00:23:57,413
According to Howie,
Rich has never really felt
at home here.
552
00:23:57,413 --> 00:24:00,965
We want him to have
that "Ah" moment when he walks
in the front door.
553
00:24:00,965 --> 00:24:02,482
And I think we have
the right fireplace for it.
554
00:24:16,241 --> 00:24:18,620
[Drew] With only ten days left
before Rich returns,
555
00:24:18,620 --> 00:24:20,448
we're pulling together
the main elements
556
00:24:20,448 --> 00:24:24,068
that will turn his dated condo
into a modern retreat.
557
00:24:24,068 --> 00:24:25,758
The cabinetry has arrived,
558
00:24:25,758 --> 00:24:27,103
the peninsula has assembled
559
00:24:27,103 --> 00:24:29,517
and the new stair flooring
is almost complete.
560
00:24:30,793 --> 00:24:33,068
We've completely opened up
that crammed kitchen
561
00:24:33,068 --> 00:24:35,586
giving space for Rich to cook
and entertain.
562
00:24:35,586 --> 00:24:38,896
And while the luxury
vinyl flooring continuous
to go down in the bedroom,
563
00:24:38,896 --> 00:24:41,103
Howie's back to help us
with some heavy lifting.
564
00:24:41,103 --> 00:24:42,172
[Howie screaming]
565
00:24:42,172 --> 00:24:43,551
You're making my job harder.
566
00:24:43,551 --> 00:24:45,034
I'm not doing that
because I'm lifting.
567
00:24:45,034 --> 00:24:46,344
I just like making that noise.
568
00:24:46,862 --> 00:24:47,965
[Howie screaming]
569
00:24:51,448 --> 00:24:53,724
Howie is just...
He's always so fun.
570
00:24:53,724 --> 00:24:55,620
And even though he cracks
a lot of jokes,
571
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:57,724
he's got a lot of heart
and he definitely
wants to make sure
572
00:24:57,724 --> 00:24:58,862
this is done right for Rich.
573
00:25:01,103 --> 00:25:04,758
This is...
And I'm not blowing smoke, guys.
574
00:25:04,758 --> 00:25:06,103
This is amazing.
575
00:25:06,103 --> 00:25:09,172
Just to see
the transformation,
how much you opened it up.
576
00:25:09,172 --> 00:25:11,758
Like what are the chances
that you tell somebody,
577
00:25:11,758 --> 00:25:13,931
I'm gonna take away a window
578
00:25:13,931 --> 00:25:15,517
and it's gonna feel more open.
579
00:25:15,517 --> 00:25:19,655
This is one of those places
where it's tricky
to figure out the best layout.
580
00:25:19,655 --> 00:25:23,068
We closed off a window
and normally they'd be like,
"Don't do it."
581
00:25:23,068 --> 00:25:26,517
Except, by opening up
the walls of the kitchen,
582
00:25:26,517 --> 00:25:28,068
now all the light
from the back comes in.
583
00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:30,310
It's gonna be gorgeous.
It's gonna be light filled.
584
00:25:30,310 --> 00:25:31,931
It's exactly what
this place needed.
585
00:25:31,931 --> 00:25:34,689
[Howie] This is what
is blowing me away.
586
00:25:34,689 --> 00:25:37,793
What you're calling this?
An appliance garage.
587
00:25:37,793 --> 00:25:39,689
But this is like
a magic trick, isn't it?
588
00:25:40,448 --> 00:25:41,793
Like this goes in this--
Okay.
589
00:25:41,793 --> 00:25:45,448
So, you go,
"Ah, I wish I had a toaster."
590
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,068
Kapow!
591
00:25:47,068 --> 00:25:48,931
Boom! Toaster!
592
00:25:48,931 --> 00:25:49,965
Tada!
593
00:25:49,965 --> 00:25:52,103
I've never even heard
of an appliance garage.
594
00:25:52,103 --> 00:25:55,517
This was a kitchen
that was a...
595
00:25:55,517 --> 00:25:57,448
you know, like a mind shaft.
596
00:25:57,448 --> 00:26:00,275
And now this has...
I know they call it
a peninsula.
597
00:26:00,275 --> 00:26:02,000
But a giant island
598
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,034
that's attached to a banquet.
599
00:26:04,034 --> 00:26:06,586
This is like
a whole new world.
600
00:26:06,586 --> 00:26:08,137
This looked like
a crash pad before,
601
00:26:08,137 --> 00:26:12,517
and now it's like a real,
you know, adult,
602
00:26:12,517 --> 00:26:15,758
contemporary,
modern open space.
603
00:26:15,758 --> 00:26:19,068
He has no idea
what's going on.
This is so exciting.
604
00:26:19,068 --> 00:26:22,310
This is the part I love
because so many people say,
605
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:25,758
"I've got a smaller place.
There's nothing
I can do with it."
606
00:26:25,758 --> 00:26:28,310
I'm like, "No, you can do
amazing things."
607
00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:30,000
This space
is gonna be spectacular.
608
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,172
This is now a hangout spot.
609
00:26:32,172 --> 00:26:34,724
This is a spot
where you can sit
and have a drink
610
00:26:34,724 --> 00:26:38,206
or just eat your breakfast
or just even entertain guests.
611
00:26:38,206 --> 00:26:41,000
Howie talks non-stop
during any projects,
612
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,344
which is actually really funny
613
00:26:42,344 --> 00:26:44,379
because everything
that comes out of his mouth
is hilarious.
614
00:26:44,379 --> 00:26:45,758
What can I get ya?
615
00:26:45,758 --> 00:26:47,620
Nothing because I don't have
a fridge yet.
616
00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:48,827
It's also easy for me
617
00:26:48,827 --> 00:26:50,172
because I'm used to Drew
talking all the time.
618
00:26:50,172 --> 00:26:52,310
So it's just one other person
who talks all the time.
619
00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:56,103
He had no storage.
Now every corner of this place
has storage.
620
00:26:56,103 --> 00:26:58,551
The only sad thing is,
I don't think he has
this much stuff.
621
00:26:58,551 --> 00:27:00,206
Oh, this will be
the penny drawer.
622
00:27:00,206 --> 00:27:01,965
That will be
the beer can drawer.
623
00:27:01,965 --> 00:27:04,206
If that's what
he wants to keep in there,
have at it.
624
00:27:04,206 --> 00:27:05,551
You can't deny a man his can.
625
00:27:16,517 --> 00:27:18,103
[Drew]
While the crew finishes up
the dry wall,
626
00:27:18,103 --> 00:27:19,793
the prep
for the fireplace delivery,
627
00:27:19,793 --> 00:27:22,758
Johnny and I are getting
the iron staircase railings
in place.
628
00:27:24,172 --> 00:27:27,724
This is the condo
that actually defies
all the rules,
629
00:27:27,724 --> 00:27:30,206
because normally
you wanna keep
opening things up,
630
00:27:30,206 --> 00:27:31,827
be closed off this wall.
631
00:27:31,827 --> 00:27:34,896
But it came up
on this strange angle here
632
00:27:34,896 --> 00:27:37,586
and it didn't make
this feel like
a comfortable dining space.
633
00:27:37,586 --> 00:27:40,689
And then over here too,
you just do a little rail.
634
00:27:40,689 --> 00:27:41,862
Or you do something like this.
635
00:27:41,862 --> 00:27:44,103
Well this makes
way more of a statement.
636
00:27:44,103 --> 00:27:47,482
This is great.
With the tall ceilings
and the lines go in vertical,
637
00:27:47,482 --> 00:27:49,103
I feel like it makes
the room look bigger.
638
00:27:49,103 --> 00:27:50,758
Yeah. This makes it
more of a statement.
639
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,586
These railings have
that clean modern look
that Howie told us Rich loves.
640
00:27:58,586 --> 00:28:02,344
And we'll be painting
them out black
to elevate the entire space,
641
00:28:02,344 --> 00:28:04,689
and give Rich the grown up
retreat he deserves.
642
00:28:18,896 --> 00:28:20,379
- Wow!
- It looks good.
643
00:28:20,379 --> 00:28:21,482
This is the way we roll.
644
00:28:24,413 --> 00:28:26,551
And where's this going?
Flat up against--
645
00:28:26,551 --> 00:28:28,655
Ya and then pushed over
to the right side.
646
00:28:28,655 --> 00:28:29,620
So that's neat.
647
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:31,724
So when you're sitting here
watching TV,
648
00:28:31,724 --> 00:28:35,482
Like this is the living area.
Now it's all in one area.
649
00:28:35,482 --> 00:28:38,551
So this is the TV
and then the fireplace
is right beside it?
650
00:28:39,206 --> 00:28:40,379
This gas fireplace
651
00:28:40,379 --> 00:28:42,172
feels like a modern
stunning feature
652
00:28:42,172 --> 00:28:45,172
that as soon as you walk
in the front door,
you see it from two sides.
653
00:28:45,172 --> 00:28:46,793
The cool thing is because
it does wrap around,
654
00:28:46,793 --> 00:28:48,206
that even from the kitchen
looking this way,
655
00:28:48,206 --> 00:28:50,206
you're still gonna see
the beauty of the fireplace.
656
00:28:50,206 --> 00:28:51,965
It's gonna feel unique,
it's gonna feel custom
657
00:28:51,965 --> 00:28:53,793
and that's what
this place needed.
658
00:28:53,793 --> 00:28:55,551
Come my way, come my way.
659
00:28:55,551 --> 00:28:57,931
All right, one sec.
There you go.
660
00:28:57,931 --> 00:28:59,137
One-two-three.
661
00:29:02,448 --> 00:29:05,275
Obviously we'll adjust that.
This is just a dry fit.
662
00:29:05,275 --> 00:29:08,137
But picture that though.
The beauty of the two sides.
663
00:29:08,137 --> 00:29:11,275
The added storage.
Everywhere in this house,
he has more storage.
664
00:29:11,275 --> 00:29:12,931
Can I tell you something
about Rich?
665
00:29:12,931 --> 00:29:16,068
Rich loves ambience.
666
00:29:16,068 --> 00:29:18,965
He's lighting candles,
he lights his fire.
667
00:29:18,965 --> 00:29:22,586
It is exactly
what he looks for
and I know he enjoys.
668
00:29:22,586 --> 00:29:24,793
This is never gonna be off.
669
00:29:24,793 --> 00:29:26,862
I would imagine now, I'll say,
"Hey, you wanna go out
for dinner?
670
00:29:26,862 --> 00:29:28,344
You wanna go out for drink?"
671
00:29:28,344 --> 00:29:31,827
And he'll go,
"No, come on over. We'll just
sit around the fire."
672
00:29:31,827 --> 00:29:33,379
[Drew]
Now that the fireplace is in,
673
00:29:33,379 --> 00:29:36,758
the real work can begin
on venting and framing it out
674
00:29:36,758 --> 00:29:38,413
so that it becomes
a part of the wall.
675
00:29:38,413 --> 00:29:40,896
The chimney flue in this condo
was abnormally small.
676
00:29:40,896 --> 00:29:43,965
So we got lucky finding
this brand so we could go
with gas.
677
00:29:43,965 --> 00:29:47,103
Retrofitting a new
gas fireplace instead of going
into electric,
678
00:29:47,103 --> 00:29:50,137
it's more work
but it was absolutely
the right call.
679
00:29:50,137 --> 00:29:52,517
Not only because
it's an impressive
focal feature,
680
00:29:52,517 --> 00:29:55,379
but it will provide real flame
which Howie tells us,
681
00:29:55,379 --> 00:29:56,862
Rich loves to relax to.
682
00:30:01,965 --> 00:30:03,275
That's amazing.
683
00:30:03,275 --> 00:30:05,275
I think we just changed
his life.
684
00:30:05,275 --> 00:30:07,206
He, buddy.
I'm over at your apartment.
685
00:30:07,206 --> 00:30:08,413
I just wanted to drop
something off.
686
00:30:08,413 --> 00:30:09,379
Okay, cool.
687
00:30:09,379 --> 00:30:10,344
He has no idea.
688
00:30:10,344 --> 00:30:11,413
Get the tissues.
689
00:30:11,413 --> 00:30:12,344
- Come see this.
- Okay.
690
00:30:12,344 --> 00:30:13,862
Because when Rich sees this,
691
00:30:13,862 --> 00:30:15,275
Hold your nose.
692
00:30:15,275 --> 00:30:16,896
he's gonna think
that we brought him into
somebody else's apartment.
693
00:30:18,137 --> 00:30:19,034
Come in.
694
00:30:19,034 --> 00:30:20,379
Holy [bleep]
695
00:30:20,379 --> 00:30:21,413
[Rich] Where are we?
696
00:30:30,586 --> 00:30:33,862
We only are a few days away
from Howie Mandel's
best friend Rich,
697
00:30:33,862 --> 00:30:36,310
returning to his
rejuvenated condo.
698
00:30:36,310 --> 00:30:38,724
So we've doubled up the crews
to meet the deadline.
699
00:30:38,724 --> 00:30:41,034
The painters are tackling
the base boards,
700
00:30:41,034 --> 00:30:43,827
while the porcelain
peninsula counter
is being installed.
701
00:30:43,827 --> 00:30:45,793
And the first coat
of plaster finish
702
00:30:45,793 --> 00:30:48,034
is being applied
to our new feature fireplace.
703
00:30:48,034 --> 00:30:51,103
And we decided to add
real wood paneling
above the banquet
704
00:30:51,103 --> 00:30:53,275
for even more visual...
on the design.
705
00:30:57,310 --> 00:31:00,206
And Howie is back
to get his hands dirty
once again.
706
00:31:00,206 --> 00:31:01,724
Well, sort of.
707
00:31:01,724 --> 00:31:03,862
Well, we had
five color options.
708
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:05,034
Number three
is a little more grey.
709
00:31:05,034 --> 00:31:07,724
The others are all variations
of black.
710
00:31:07,724 --> 00:31:09,172
This is what we've gone with.
Number two.
711
00:31:10,448 --> 00:31:13,068
So we're gonna be putting
number two all over his walls?
712
00:31:13,068 --> 00:31:14,793
- Yeah, exactly.
- Okay.
713
00:31:14,793 --> 00:31:17,689
I don't know if they did it
for me but they picked colors
that i could see.
714
00:31:17,689 --> 00:31:19,000
Black, white, grey.
715
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,103
I can see that.
716
00:31:20,103 --> 00:31:22,758
So why don't I give you
some zones to stay within.
717
00:31:22,758 --> 00:31:25,103
So this here is number two.
718
00:31:25,103 --> 00:31:27,862
This one is number two.
719
00:31:27,862 --> 00:31:29,517
And, then, over here,
this one's number two.
720
00:31:29,517 --> 00:31:30,931
So, there you go.
721
00:31:30,931 --> 00:31:33,344
Painting with Howie
is like painting
with my nieces and nephews.
722
00:31:33,344 --> 00:31:35,103
[Drew]
Okay, that's one of doing it.
723
00:31:35,103 --> 00:31:36,068
We paint by numbers.
724
00:31:36,068 --> 00:31:38,034
This is a beautiful,
modern color.
725
00:31:38,034 --> 00:31:39,379
[Howie]
I painted.
726
00:31:39,379 --> 00:31:41,344
I'm color blind
and I've never painted.
727
00:31:41,344 --> 00:31:43,000
The opposite side,
the headboard wall,
728
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,551
that's gonna be
a beautiful feature wall.
729
00:31:44,551 --> 00:31:49,413
You know what,
I kind of like that look
that kind of dark, manly look.
730
00:31:49,413 --> 00:31:52,724
It keeps the sense
of who he is,
you know, he's a guy.
731
00:31:52,724 --> 00:31:56,724
So, if this is soot,
what is this?
732
00:31:56,724 --> 00:31:59,689
It's sort of
like a creamy peach.
733
00:31:59,689 --> 00:32:01,931
That's not something
I would even order
for dessert.
734
00:32:01,931 --> 00:32:02,827
[Drew]
No.
735
00:32:02,827 --> 00:32:04,310
- Woah!
- Yes.
736
00:32:04,310 --> 00:32:06,344
- [Drew] Welcome.
- This look is good.
737
00:32:06,344 --> 00:32:07,689
- Doesn't it?
- Does it?
738
00:32:07,689 --> 00:32:09,793
This looks way better
than I thought
you guys were gonna do...
739
00:32:09,793 --> 00:32:11,862
- [Howie] I think...
Than the creamy peach.
- [Victoria] Wow.
740
00:32:11,862 --> 00:32:15,275
I was telling Howie
about the feature wall,
can you give more detail?
741
00:32:15,275 --> 00:32:17,000
Okay, so,
we have a few options.
742
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,827
- Are you talkin' to me?
- I'm talkin' to you.
743
00:32:18,827 --> 00:32:20,758
And this is like
a quick decision
we have to make.
744
00:32:20,758 --> 00:32:22,655
- So, these are two options.
- All right.
745
00:32:22,655 --> 00:32:25,482
- One is the shiplap
all the way across.
- [Howie] Okay.
746
00:32:25,482 --> 00:32:26,689
And it's this
thicker material.
747
00:32:26,689 --> 00:32:28,413
- So, it's seven
and a half inches.
- [Howie] Okay.
748
00:32:28,413 --> 00:32:31,827
And, then,
the second option is this.
It's a bit more traditional.
749
00:32:31,827 --> 00:32:34,517
[Howie]
So, the shiplap
has one straight line.
750
00:32:34,517 --> 00:32:37,137
And, for me, less is more.
This seems a little more busy.
751
00:32:37,137 --> 00:32:40,655
The black would also go
on these walls as well
over top of the shiplap.
752
00:32:40,655 --> 00:32:42,517
I think
that is very beautiful.
753
00:32:42,517 --> 00:32:44,482
I think that Rich
is gonna like it, too.
754
00:32:44,482 --> 00:32:46,827
And I like that,
that same color
will be used
755
00:32:46,827 --> 00:32:50,586
on the accent walls
and the texture
of the shiplap also.
756
00:32:50,586 --> 00:32:53,862
- I think, the three amigos
are on the same page.
- What are we doing here?
757
00:32:53,862 --> 00:32:56,344
- I like this one...
- Let's just not touch,
let's just agree.
758
00:32:56,344 --> 00:32:57,965
Let's agree to not touch.
759
00:32:57,965 --> 00:33:00,965
So, it's kind of the same,
yet, it's different.
It's different texture.
760
00:33:00,965 --> 00:33:04,482
People may not remember this,
but, when I was young,
my hair was off... black.
761
00:33:04,482 --> 00:33:05,931
- Oh, was it?
- Yeah.
762
00:33:05,931 --> 00:33:08,137
I can't quite picture that,
but let me just...
763
00:33:08,137 --> 00:33:10,517
- No!
- Oh, yeah, that's...
764
00:33:10,517 --> 00:33:12,241
- You know, it's...
- Let me take out
my glasses.
765
00:33:12,241 --> 00:33:14,137
Yeah, I just get
a little around
the-- the back there.
766
00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:15,137
My God!
767
00:33:15,137 --> 00:33:16,965
[Howie]
I feel like a kid again.
768
00:33:16,965 --> 00:33:18,965
Honestly, that looks
really nice on you.
769
00:33:18,965 --> 00:33:20,413
Does it? Do I look young?
770
00:33:20,413 --> 00:33:22,517
- [Drew] You look 25 again.
- Oh, my God.
771
00:33:22,517 --> 00:33:24,689
And you know what,
on the back...
772
00:33:24,689 --> 00:33:28,206
If it's not too much,
I used to have a mullet
or we can do a shiplap.
773
00:33:28,206 --> 00:33:31,310
You know,
we could shiplap mullet.
774
00:33:31,310 --> 00:33:32,862
Oh, my God.
775
00:33:32,862 --> 00:33:35,172
It makes me wanna do that,
get the bangs out of my eyes.
776
00:33:35,172 --> 00:33:38,655
I never thought
what I would look like
at this age with hair.
777
00:33:38,655 --> 00:33:42,241
And I got to see that.
So, I was like a personal
make over for myself.
778
00:33:42,241 --> 00:33:43,413
I, actually, liked it.
779
00:33:43,413 --> 00:33:46,137
It is permanent
by the way.
780
00:33:47,413 --> 00:33:49,068
[Jonathan]
What a journey
taking this place
781
00:33:49,068 --> 00:33:52,000
from bottle caps
and beer cans
782
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
to something you'd expect
in a beautiful New York loft.
783
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,586
It's a transformation
like no other.
784
00:33:56,586 --> 00:33:58,379
[Drew]
It felt like a college
crash pad before.
785
00:33:58,379 --> 00:34:01,827
And, now,
there's a sophistication
that matches Rich's style.
786
00:34:01,827 --> 00:34:03,620
We won't judge
if he still wants to play
787
00:34:03,620 --> 00:34:05,034
a little beer pong
off the peninsula,
788
00:34:05,034 --> 00:34:07,034
but, it's just done
in a much more stylish way.
789
00:34:10,482 --> 00:34:17,448
[soft rock playing]
790
00:34:17,448 --> 00:34:19,137
[Howie]
I'm gonna put pillows.
791
00:34:19,137 --> 00:34:22,448
[Drew]
Howie has been so involved
in this entire process.
792
00:34:22,448 --> 00:34:24,586
And I feel he's given us
enough nuggets to make sure
793
00:34:24,586 --> 00:34:26,551
that everything in here
is what Rich wants.
794
00:34:26,551 --> 00:34:29,413
Guys, watch this,
tell me I'm not a pro.
795
00:34:29,413 --> 00:34:33,000
Boom, boom, boom.
796
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,827
- How's that, good?
- That actually looks
pretty good.
797
00:34:34,827 --> 00:34:37,482
For a guy
who can't physically
see color,
798
00:34:37,482 --> 00:34:39,310
he, definitely,
saw the potential
799
00:34:39,310 --> 00:34:40,586
on what we could do
to this place.
800
00:34:40,586 --> 00:34:42,965
Howie doesn't need
to see the color,
he can feel it.
801
00:34:42,965 --> 00:34:45,137
- Fireplace, all right.
- [Howie] Yeah.
802
00:34:45,137 --> 00:34:46,379
Give me one second
while it turns on.
803
00:34:47,724 --> 00:34:49,413
- [Drew] Two seconds.
- Woah!
804
00:34:49,413 --> 00:34:50,896
Introducing color options.
805
00:34:50,896 --> 00:34:52,620
[Drew]
Should we do something
a little moodier?
806
00:34:52,620 --> 00:34:54,241
That's amazing.
807
00:34:54,241 --> 00:34:56,620
Let's attach that
to the stereo system, too.
808
00:34:56,620 --> 00:34:59,103
Oh, my gosh, yeah.
Boom, boom, boom.
809
00:34:59,103 --> 00:35:02,310
When I walked in,
I don't even have words.
810
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:04,482
It was just wow, wow.
811
00:35:04,482 --> 00:35:09,965
They created spaces
and rooms and utilities
that were not even here.
812
00:35:09,965 --> 00:35:12,172
[Howie]
Oh, my gosh!
813
00:35:13,034 --> 00:35:15,448
Ugh, I love this.
814
00:35:15,448 --> 00:35:17,758
[Howie]
Is there any way
I could take this home?
815
00:35:17,758 --> 00:35:19,965
This is like
a whole new world.
816
00:35:19,965 --> 00:35:22,517
This is like a 007 bar.
817
00:35:22,517 --> 00:35:24,724
I think,
we just changed his life,
818
00:35:24,724 --> 00:35:26,793
which means
so much more to me.
819
00:35:26,793 --> 00:35:29,275
What do you think
Rich's reaction's gonna be
when he walks in.
820
00:35:29,275 --> 00:35:30,827
This is gonna rock
his world.
821
00:35:30,827 --> 00:35:32,862
- I'm excited to see
the look on his face.
- Me, too.
822
00:35:32,862 --> 00:35:34,068
We're not gonna be in trouble
823
00:35:34,068 --> 00:35:35,896
because we got rid
of the penny table
and beer cans.
824
00:35:36,586 --> 00:35:38,137
When you say get rid off...
825
00:35:38,137 --> 00:35:39,620
Howie was part
of the whole process,
826
00:35:39,620 --> 00:35:43,000
but even in the end,
Howie was blown away
by what we did here.
827
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,344
We store them
at the local recycling facility.
828
00:35:45,344 --> 00:35:46,724
[Howie laughs]
829
00:35:46,724 --> 00:35:49,000
What is Rich gonna think
when he comes in
and he's never seen this.
830
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,655
He's gonna be blown away.
831
00:35:58,482 --> 00:36:00,379
[cell phone ringing]
832
00:36:00,379 --> 00:36:02,482
- Hey, what's up?
- Hey, buddy.
833
00:36:02,482 --> 00:36:05,482
I'm over at your apartment,
I just wanted to drop
something off from the office.
834
00:36:05,482 --> 00:36:06,965
How far out are you?
835
00:36:06,965 --> 00:36:09,448
Uh, we're about ten out.
You're in my apartment now?
836
00:36:09,448 --> 00:36:10,896
Yeah, I just wanted
to drop something out.
837
00:36:10,896 --> 00:36:12,896
I'm gonna go back
to the office, though,
838
00:36:12,896 --> 00:36:14,448
but, uh, I just wanted
to let you know.
839
00:36:14,448 --> 00:36:16,551
- Okay, cool.
- If I don't see you here,
I'll see you at the office.
840
00:36:16,551 --> 00:36:18,586
- Okay, cool. Thanks.
- Okay, buddy, bye.
841
00:36:19,758 --> 00:36:22,379
- Can't just down play--
- So serious.
842
00:36:22,379 --> 00:36:25,275
Now, while ten out,
he has no idea.
843
00:36:25,275 --> 00:36:28,241
You guys hide
and I'll meet him
just outside the door.
844
00:36:28,241 --> 00:36:30,689
- I was just leaving
and, then, walk in.
- Okay.
845
00:36:30,689 --> 00:36:31,896
Did we put anything
in the fridge?
846
00:36:31,896 --> 00:36:33,551
I'm gonna get a snack
before he gets here.
847
00:36:33,551 --> 00:36:34,862
[Jonathan]
We might not have time.
848
00:36:34,862 --> 00:36:37,689
Three and a half weeks,
all this work,
all this secrecy,
849
00:36:37,689 --> 00:36:39,758
and it all leads
to this moment.
850
00:36:39,758 --> 00:36:43,241
Rich thinks that Howie's
just over his place
dropping off of a few things,
851
00:36:43,241 --> 00:36:44,931
but in reality,
ho, ho, ho.
852
00:36:44,931 --> 00:36:46,586
[Rich]
Hey, what's goin' on?
853
00:36:46,586 --> 00:36:48,724
I just dropped off
the props.
854
00:36:48,724 --> 00:36:51,206
Terry didn't want
me to keep them in my house
'cause they smell.
855
00:36:51,206 --> 00:36:52,275
Get the tissues.
856
00:36:52,275 --> 00:36:53,413
- Come see this.
- Okay.
857
00:36:53,413 --> 00:36:54,758
Because when Rich
sees this...
858
00:36:54,758 --> 00:36:56,275
- Hold your nose.
- [Rich] Really,
is it that bad?
859
00:36:56,275 --> 00:36:58,517
- Hold your nose.
I just-- you'll see.
- What kind of props?
860
00:36:58,517 --> 00:36:59,896
He's gonna think
that we brought him
861
00:36:59,896 --> 00:37:01,517
into somebody else's
apartment.
862
00:37:01,517 --> 00:37:03,275
I hope it doesn't smell
too much.
863
00:37:03,275 --> 00:37:05,172
[Rich]
I can't pass it.
864
00:37:05,172 --> 00:37:07,241
- [Howie] Come here.
- Holy [beep].
865
00:37:07,241 --> 00:37:08,551
Where-- where are we?
866
00:37:08,551 --> 00:37:10,000
[Rich]
This is crazy.
867
00:37:15,379 --> 00:37:16,862
[upbeat music playing]
868
00:37:16,862 --> 00:37:18,413
[Howie]
I hope it doesn't smell
too much.
869
00:37:18,413 --> 00:37:19,413
[Rich]
I can't...
870
00:37:20,655 --> 00:37:22,275
- [Howie] Come here
- Holy [beep].
871
00:37:22,862 --> 00:37:24,413
Where-- where are we?
872
00:37:24,413 --> 00:37:26,068
[Rich]
This is--
Wait a minute.
873
00:37:28,137 --> 00:37:30,000
- [Rich]
These aren't props.
- [Howie] No.
874
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,344
[Rich]
Then, what is this?
875
00:37:32,034 --> 00:37:33,724
Oh, my God!
876
00:37:34,724 --> 00:37:36,965
This is crazy.
877
00:37:36,965 --> 00:37:39,862
It was like a dream,
like it was completely different.
878
00:37:39,862 --> 00:37:42,931
Not one thing was the same,
so, I'm like,
"Is this my apartment?"
879
00:37:42,931 --> 00:37:44,448
They switched the door
out front.
880
00:37:44,448 --> 00:37:46,586
Am I walking in a facade?
Like this is a prank.
881
00:37:46,586 --> 00:37:48,517
This is, definitely, a prank,
like, what's happening.
882
00:37:48,517 --> 00:37:50,827
And I can't even believe it.
You said you were dropping
props off.
883
00:37:50,827 --> 00:37:52,827
- Well... [chuckles]
- It's amazing.
884
00:37:52,827 --> 00:37:54,275
And I thought
it's just gonna be filled
885
00:37:54,275 --> 00:37:55,620
with something
I didn't want in here.
886
00:37:55,620 --> 00:37:58,034
- [laughing]
- That's what I thought.
887
00:37:58,034 --> 00:37:59,724
What did you do?
You did this?
888
00:37:59,724 --> 00:38:00,931
[Howie]
I didn't do it alone.
889
00:38:00,931 --> 00:38:02,482
What-- wait-- what?
890
00:38:02,482 --> 00:38:04,482
What? Property Brothers!
891
00:38:04,482 --> 00:38:07,344
Where you fit prop,
not the Property Brothers.
892
00:38:07,344 --> 00:38:09,000
[all laughing]
893
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,758
How are you?
I love you, guys.
What's up?
894
00:38:10,758 --> 00:38:12,103
[Drew]
This has been keeping
us busy.
895
00:38:12,103 --> 00:38:14,103
I'm completely lost.
What-- what happened?
896
00:38:14,103 --> 00:38:15,827
Howie reached out to us
and he said
897
00:38:15,827 --> 00:38:19,137
one person who has been
so instrumental--
898
00:38:19,137 --> 00:38:21,586
- You really have.
- ...in his life
and his success.
899
00:38:21,586 --> 00:38:22,965
And making everything happen.
900
00:38:22,965 --> 00:38:24,586
You always take
the stress away.
901
00:38:24,586 --> 00:38:27,586
And he said, "You know what,
it's about time somebody
does something like that."
902
00:38:27,586 --> 00:38:29,517
I owe him.
903
00:38:29,517 --> 00:38:32,482
I'll tell you something.
You're like a brother
to me, buddy.
904
00:38:32,482 --> 00:38:37,413
And you are there for,
absolutely, everybody,
everything, my whole family.
905
00:38:37,413 --> 00:38:39,517
And nobody is there for you.
906
00:38:40,896 --> 00:38:44,344
[sighs]
This means a lot to me.
I mean...
907
00:38:44,344 --> 00:38:45,793
Oh, you mean a lot,
I love you, buddy.
908
00:38:45,793 --> 00:38:47,137
Yeah, I know,
love you, too, man.
909
00:38:47,137 --> 00:38:49,517
[Rich] I feel like
the luckiest person
in the world.
910
00:38:49,517 --> 00:38:52,482
Here's things with Howie,
I've seen him do
a million pranks on people
911
00:38:52,482 --> 00:38:54,586
where its craziness
that's happening
all around,
912
00:38:54,586 --> 00:38:57,448
but, I've also seen--
this isn't something
he publicizes,
913
00:38:57,448 --> 00:38:59,241
but he always takes
really good care of people.
914
00:38:59,241 --> 00:39:01,172
This is called--
You know what
this is called?
915
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:02,482
- Win, win.
- Yes.
916
00:39:02,482 --> 00:39:04,724
I will let you know
that we intervened a little
917
00:39:04,724 --> 00:39:06,344
'cause his original idea
was just to give you
918
00:39:06,344 --> 00:39:10,068
- a life-size nude painting
to put up in your living room.
- Yeah.
919
00:39:10,068 --> 00:39:11,172
Who needs two of those?
920
00:39:11,172 --> 00:39:13,827
[all laughing]
I mean, honestly.
921
00:39:13,827 --> 00:39:17,655
- The world's most famous
clean freak...
- Yeah.
922
00:39:17,655 --> 00:39:20,068
...got his hands dirty
and got in here...
923
00:39:20,068 --> 00:39:21,344
I touched your carpet.
924
00:39:21,344 --> 00:39:23,310
This doesn't even look
like my place.
This is crazy.
925
00:39:23,310 --> 00:39:24,551
Remember,
there was a wall here.
926
00:39:24,551 --> 00:39:26,482
There was a wall,
there's no wall here.
927
00:39:26,482 --> 00:39:28,068
There was a window here.
928
00:39:28,068 --> 00:39:30,517
[Rich]
That's incredible.
929
00:39:30,517 --> 00:39:32,068
[Rich]
This doesn't feel
like the same place.
930
00:39:32,068 --> 00:39:34,482
I don't feel like.
This is unbelievable.
It's beautiful.
931
00:39:34,482 --> 00:39:37,689
Howie and Rich
have known each other
for over 30 years,
932
00:39:37,689 --> 00:39:39,310
and this is, really,
the ultimate way
933
00:39:39,310 --> 00:39:41,482
Howie could think of
to say thank you.
934
00:39:41,482 --> 00:39:43,206
- Look.
- [Rich] This is incredible.
935
00:39:43,206 --> 00:39:44,344
We may have gotten rid
936
00:39:44,344 --> 00:39:46,137
- of your penny tables
and stuff like that.
- What?
937
00:39:46,137 --> 00:39:48,586
We are hoping
you'd like this seating.
938
00:39:48,586 --> 00:39:51,586
When you open up
a smaller space like this,
939
00:39:51,586 --> 00:39:53,896
you still need to define
each area.
940
00:39:53,896 --> 00:39:56,862
[Jonathan]
I love the build-in banquette.
All the upholstery done.
941
00:39:56,862 --> 00:39:58,896
And, then,
that detail on the wall--
942
00:39:58,896 --> 00:40:01,206
[Drew]
Every little piece
of this place is new.
943
00:40:01,206 --> 00:40:02,586
This is what Rich needed.
944
00:40:02,586 --> 00:40:04,655
- Look at the new fireplace.
- Wow.
945
00:40:04,655 --> 00:40:06,896
[Howie]
I've never seen one
like this, like, L shape.
946
00:40:06,896 --> 00:40:08,724
- [Rich] That is incredible.
- [Howie] And that's a TV.
947
00:40:08,724 --> 00:40:10,034
- [Rich] That's a TV?
- [Howie] Yeah.
948
00:40:10,034 --> 00:40:12,310
[Drew]
And, also,
this is all storage here, too.
949
00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:14,896
It's perfect.
It's perfect, you guys.
950
00:40:14,896 --> 00:40:16,379
[Drew]
It wasn't just the renovation.
951
00:40:16,379 --> 00:40:19,206
It's also the beautiful sofa,
the accent chairs...
952
00:40:19,206 --> 00:40:22,137
Every piece in this house
is something that speaks
to Rich's style.
953
00:40:22,137 --> 00:40:23,482
This is crazy.
954
00:40:23,482 --> 00:40:24,689
[Drew]
Do you miss the cans?
955
00:40:24,689 --> 00:40:26,310
I'm not missing them
right now.
956
00:40:26,310 --> 00:40:28,034
This used to be
like a crash pad.
957
00:40:28,034 --> 00:40:31,551
So, wasn't really a place
I'd invite friends over,
have family. No sense of home.
958
00:40:31,551 --> 00:40:34,034
Now, it's so sophisticated.
959
00:40:34,034 --> 00:40:37,379
I feel like another couple
of months, I'm still gonna
be finding surprises again
960
00:40:37,379 --> 00:40:38,517
'cause nothing's the same.
961
00:40:38,517 --> 00:40:41,655
We did want
to show you one more thing.
962
00:40:41,655 --> 00:40:43,034
- This is it?
- All right.
963
00:40:44,034 --> 00:40:46,068
Well, Howie said no.
964
00:40:46,068 --> 00:40:48,413
[all laughing]
Howie said,
"No, this is not it."
965
00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:51,517
Howie, why don't you show him
into the room over here.
966
00:40:51,517 --> 00:40:53,206
- Yeah.
- There's something
that's just for you.
967
00:40:53,206 --> 00:40:55,206
This is for you guest,
this is for your family.
968
00:40:55,206 --> 00:40:56,551
He's done enough.
This is plenty.
969
00:40:56,551 --> 00:40:58,379
No, there's one more room.
970
00:40:58,379 --> 00:41:00,068
He didn't expect
anything else.
971
00:41:00,068 --> 00:41:03,068
So, when we walked him around
and into the bedroom,
972
00:41:03,068 --> 00:41:05,758
It's just like--
I can't even--
There's too much.
973
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
This is amazing.
974
00:41:16,310 --> 00:41:18,862
Howie, you wanted to have
something that was moody,
and cool--
975
00:41:18,862 --> 00:41:20,206
- And manly.
- [Rich] Yeah.
976
00:41:20,206 --> 00:41:22,000
[Rich]
Every single detail
is amazing.
977
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,620
Guys, you really thought
this out.
It's incredible.
978
00:41:24,620 --> 00:41:26,413
In reality,
he really thought this out.
979
00:41:26,413 --> 00:41:28,758
You know, you always want
to do something special
for somebody.
980
00:41:28,758 --> 00:41:31,620
But I feel like
this really hits the mark.
981
00:41:31,620 --> 00:41:35,379
And it feels so good
to give or to be part
of the giving.
982
00:41:35,379 --> 00:41:37,586
You take care of me.
You take care of me.
983
00:41:37,586 --> 00:41:39,793
I've never done
anything, really, for him
984
00:41:39,793 --> 00:41:42,551
besides employ him
and be his friend.
985
00:41:42,551 --> 00:41:44,862
And, now, for the first time,
986
00:41:44,862 --> 00:41:47,965
I get to be a small part
987
00:41:47,965 --> 00:41:50,931
of making sure
that everything
is order for him
988
00:41:50,931 --> 00:41:52,896
to be able to perform
at the highest level.
989
00:41:52,896 --> 00:41:55,931
This is a more sophisticated
design, now, compared
to what you had before.
990
00:41:55,931 --> 00:41:58,793
So, we've graduated
from beer cans
to champagne.
991
00:41:58,793 --> 00:42:00,620
- Shall we go
get some champagne?
- Yes, yes.
992
00:42:00,620 --> 00:42:03,000
We're out of college.
He graduated.
993
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,034
[Rich]
Who-ho, graduated.
994
00:42:04,034 --> 00:42:06,034
Seeing how Rich
was already envisioning
995
00:42:06,034 --> 00:42:09,551
how he was gonna entertain
friends and family
is so amazing.
996
00:42:09,551 --> 00:42:13,000
But, it's not the same thing
as actually having
those friends and family here.
997
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,310
- [Rich] Hey!
- Welcome home.
998
00:42:15,310 --> 00:42:17,793
- [Rich] Check it out.
Can you believe it?
- Oh, my God! What?
999
00:42:17,793 --> 00:42:19,862
[Drew] So, we had
Rich's girlfriend,
Alex, come.
1000
00:42:19,862 --> 00:42:21,724
We had Rich's daughter,
McKenna,
1001
00:42:21,724 --> 00:42:24,206
also, Howie's wife,
Terry, joined in.
1002
00:42:24,206 --> 00:42:26,965
And, now,
it instantly feels like home.
1003
00:42:26,965 --> 00:42:29,000
I have to give
a personal thanks to Howie.
1004
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,793
For the last 30 years,
just always
being there for me.
1005
00:42:31,793 --> 00:42:33,620
In fact,
he chose me to do this.
1006
00:42:33,620 --> 00:42:35,551
That means more to me
than anything.
1007
00:42:35,551 --> 00:42:37,000
That's--
that's really special.
1008
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,137
Well, you mean more to me
than lot of other people.
1009
00:42:39,137 --> 00:42:44,551
To friendship,
to family
and to home.
1010
00:42:44,551 --> 00:42:45,862
- I love you, guys.
- I love you, buddy.
1011
00:42:45,862 --> 00:42:47,000
- Thank you so much.
- I love it.
1012
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,310
I'm just like very touched
like it's...
1013
00:42:49,310 --> 00:42:51,206
From a guy who doesn't touch.
1014
00:42:51,206 --> 00:42:52,482
I've been touched.
1015
00:42:52,482 --> 00:42:54,172
[all] Cheers!
[Rich] Thank you, guys.
1016
00:42:54,172 --> 00:42:56,137
[Rich] The name of the show,
the inflection
should be different.
1017
00:42:56,137 --> 00:42:58,344
It should be
Celebrity, I owe you.
1018
00:42:58,689 --> 00:42:59,827
Aww.
1019
00:42:59,827 --> 00:43:02,172
And, also,
just one message.
You're fired.
1020
00:43:02,172 --> 00:43:05,724
[all laughing]
1020
00:43:06,305 --> 00:44:06,560
