This week on the pod — Claire’s first official week back from maternity leave! — we dig into the latest season of the Netflix show about the Oppenheim Group, a luxury L.A. real estate brokerage where maternity leave is grounds for removal.

Back in the fantasia of Calacatta marble countertops and glass pocket doors that is the Los Angeles luxury real estate market, our gals are still clacking around sporting 6-inch heels and physics-defying underboob, convincing sickeningly wealthy people to invest their money in mansions they don’t need. Chrishell is blissfully solidifying her relationship with Aussie rockstar G-Flip; Mary and Romain are hoping for a baby; Jason is hoping to keep dating 20-somethings who don’t want kids yet and don’t mind that he’s still hopelessly in love with Chrishell; Brett is hoping Jason can figure out a way to renovate an office space without going $500k over budget; all of the agents are quaking with fear at the new mansion tax set to go into effect in Los Angeles.

There’s drama, of course — mostly the gang is trying to resolve a handful of feuds still lingering from last season. Bre and Chelsea are, inconceivably, still absorbed in a mutual standoff over some blandly critical comments that Chelsea made early last season about Bre’s partner Nick Cannon, whose hobby is having babies with various women. Chrishell and Nicole’s mutual loathing is exacerbated to a truly astonishing degree by another fairly bland comment (that Chrishell’s bestie Emma is a “social climber”). As Mary checks out, Amanza tries rather ineptly to play peacemaker. Jason and Brett respond to a severe slowing of the high-end real estate market in the city by opening a much larger office on Sunset, complete with a $1.5 million renovation.

We dug into as much of this action-packed season and reunion as we could cram into a taping. Plus, we discussed Chrishell’s unstoppable rise to complete “Selling Sunset” supremacy; the depthless perfidy of the Oppenheim twins; and the much-vilified mansion tax, which was enacted to fund programs for ameliorating homelessness in L.A. Hope you enjoy!
