[upbeat music playing]
- Shlom, did you DM that girl?
- I did
[Batsheva] What'd you send?
- Shlomo sent his DM
- [Ben] You sent it back?
- He slid into the DMs. Give us his sent
- Another one?
- [Shlomo] Did I get a reply?
- Yeah!
- You
- Yeah!
- [Julia, over intercom] Jessy?
- Fuck! I hate that. So much
[Batsheva] What'd she say?
- Jessy?
- [Batsheva] Oh, my God!
[feedback ringing on intercom]
- [Ben] Where are the speakers?
- [Julia] Is this working?
- [Batsheva and Shlomo] Yes!
- [Silvio] For sure!
This is the voice of God!
A big statement
When my mom's voice comes over
on that loudspeaker,
it's the most annoying thing ever
She repeats everything five times
to make sure
whoever she's calling hears it
Jessy!
- Please stop!
- Shut up!
Ee, we hear you!
- There should be a volume option
- There is, of course
[Silvio] If you don't lower that,
you're going to make everybody deaf
That speaker system needs to get
the fuck out. That thing's gotta go
- Jessy!
- [Batsheva] Oh, my God!
[feedback ringing loudly]
I mean, there's a lot more polite
Jessy, can you come to the closet?
- No way! [laughing]
- Jessy, can you come to the closet?
No way! Did you I don't believe this!
- [producer] We did not set that up
- Yes, you did
- [producer] That is crazy. That is crazy
- That is crazy
So I'll be on my way ♪
You're tellin' me the way ♪
- Really? Hey, Mir! You got it?
- What's up?
- You got the stuff?
- I got it! It came today
I'm very curious
to see what it looks like
[Batsheva] Okay
- LV
- [Miriam] LV! Love!
You know what would be cool to show also?
How you can shorten a strap
- You know how?
- [Miriam] No, you can teach me
Okay
I have been asked
to do a Zoom presentation
to showcase some Vivrelle handbags
As a content creator and influencer,
I work with different brands
to promote them on social media
If this goes well,
I can have more speaking opportunities
and really branch out
into the fashion industry
Should we show how we make
a bag into a belt bag?
Oh, like a fanny pack?
[Batsheva] I have asked my sister Miriam
to be my model
This is the first paid opportunity
we're doing together
[Miriam] This matches my outfit
- Does it match?
- [Batsheva] Yeah! Ta-da!
- [Miriam] Wow!
- You can wear it on the side
- Cool, right?
- This is cool, I like this
- Very cool. Way to go
- [Miriam] Nice, love it, Bat
- Hello!
- [all] Hello, hello!
- [Batsheva, laughing] Rob!
- Come here, Robert!
[all] Robert! [laughing]
Okay, I think
dinner's happening any minute
- [Batsheva] We're ready
- Yeah, I'm excited
- [Miriam] I won't be here for dinner
- What do you mean?
- Where you going?
- I'm going on my date
- Since you're missing
- He's coming to pick me up
- [Ben] That's nice
- Wait, a "he"?
- Wait
- [Miriam] Yes, it's a he
- Yeah. Mm-hmm
- [Julia] Oh, cool
[Miriam] So tonight
I'm going out with Nico
He is a friend
of my really close friend Grant
I just recently met him,
and we're just having fun together,
hanging out
[doorbell rings]
- [gasps] Ooh!
- [Miriam] I'll get it
- [Julia] Can I get it?
- No, that's okay
[Ben] I ordered delivery
That might be it
Honestly, I was questioning if whether
I was bisexual or straight-up lesbian
[Julia] Bring him in
[Miriam] But Nico is so cute,
and, I don't know, we have
this really nice passion for each other
And I was like, "You know what?
I'm just gonna ask him out." And I did
- So nice to meet you
- [Nico] Likewise
It's a nice evening, I see
[Julia] Yeah, it's really nice
- Oh my God, you guys are so cute!
- [all exclaiming]
Is this I hope this is okay?
Oh yes,
all PDA is acceptable in this house
- They're okay with PDA
- [Julia] We love love
[Silvio] You're from London?
No, I'm from Nigeria
I lived in the UK for a bit,
and I come here
and I study facial deformities
- [Batsheva] Like cleft palate?
- Yeah. Stuff like that
- [Julia] How fascinating
- [Shlomo] Yeah, that's what I think
I have been waiting for a while
for Miriam to bring home a guy
because she does say
that she goes both ways,
and both sexes she's attracted to,
but this is the first time
she's introduced my family to a guy
Usually, she just brings home girls
[Julia] Have fun!
- [Batsheva] Be safe!
- [Miriam] Let me grab my jacket
[Julia] He's very handsome
Also I love the outfit
- Very chic. Yeah
- [Batsheva] Very good
[Julia] Oh, my!
[Julia gasps]
The last time, at my birthday party,
I saw Miriam snogging a chick
- [Julia] So?
- Well, maybe she'll snog a dude tonight
- [Julia] I hope so
- We'll find out, I'm sure
God willing
She can snog whoever she wants,
however often she wants
She should experiment and have fun
and do whatever she wants
You know I told you about Aron
and how he came back from camp
like super looney
- Miriam actually told us about it
- [Julia] Miriam told you?
In the car,
I had non-Jewish music on,
and he had his earphones in
He was listening
to a sermon given by rabbis
- Oh wow
- [Julia] I said, "You need to have fun
and relax and enjoy."
He's like, "Where in the Torah
does it say to have fun?"
So you're freaking out
Yes, obviously I'm freaking out,
but also I need your help
Okay
With the other kids, they've come so far
with me because they're older
You know,
Aron is the one I worry about the most now
because he is still straddling two worlds
I feel that it is
my responsibility as a parent
to ensure that every opportunity
in life is available to him
and that he genuinely gets to enjoy life
[Silvio] I think
what you're doing is right
I mean,
just get him more exposed to normal life,
- and things will take their course
- [Julia] Exactly
You know, he he's such a good kid
I just want him to have everything
You know? It worries me
[upbeat music playing]
[Miriam] Ready to kick some ax?
- Yeah, I'm ready to beat your ass
- Good luck
- Let's see what happens
- Yeah, we'll see
What did you think of meeting my family?
I didn't expect you to come into my house
It's crazy 'cause we only knew
each other for how long? It's been
- It's been like a week
- Not even a week!
- That's crazy
- I know
If you ask any of my friends
what I find as, like, the ideal guy,
they'd literally just describe Nico
Somebody who's tall, muscular,
um, is into fashion
He has this beautiful British accent
that is just so attractive
It's just so hot. Yeah
So first to five?
- If I win
- Yeah?
[Nico sucks breath in]
- What?
- You get to come home with me
[both laughing]
Wow. Okay, well, if I win,
you have to take me to Nobu
- All right, deal
- Deal?
- Yup
- Okay
[Nico groans]
- [Miriam laughing]
- What is going on? I lost my mojo
[both laughing]
- What is going on?
- [laughs] Loosen those shoulders
Miami Heat
You're in Miami right now. [laughing]
Okay. If I make it,
that means I automatically win
[grunts]
- Yes! Yes!
- Oh, damn! You
No way
You win, I suppose
- Yeah. Nice try
- Yup, yup
- Maybe another time
- Sure
- Maybe after Nobu
- Uh-huh
- [Miriam] Let's get outta here
- [Nico] Thank you
- [man] Have a great night
- [Miriam] You too, thank you so much
[upbeat music playing]
[all greeting]
[Robert] Hi, gorgeous!
- I cannot wait for you to try this!
- [Robert] I'm not trying hot sauce!
- You're definitely trying
- Yes, you are
'Cause you are the one who don't like
hot sauce and are scared of it
- You are like my biggest customer
- [Robert] No
- He's from Texas
- [Ubah] How?
How can you be from Texas
and not like hot sauce?
I'm an individual
[Julia] Ubah Hassan is one
of our models and our talent
She has the most positive attitude
She's an extraordinarily hard worker
I'm constantly looking to expand our reach
and truly transform EWG
into the greatest success imaginable
So in in Africa,
the biggest meal in Africa is lunch
They make this hot sauce
every single day
- [Julia] Your family made this every day?
- Yes
- This is habanero
- [Julia] Okay
- this is fresno, and this is jalapeno
- [Robert] Mm-hmm
I can't stand hot sauce
- What's the least spicy?
- The one you have
No! This is least spicy
- Okay, let me start with that
- Let it build up
Okay, here we go
Ugh. I'm the only person from Texas
who cannot eat spicy food
- It's uncomfortable
- [Ubah laughing]
Okay
A tiny little bit of pepper
makes my head want to pop off,
roll down the ground
and find a swimming pool
- It's jalapeno
- So good
With cilantro No!
[gagging]
[Julia laughs]
Why in the world
people would want to put something
that literally burns their mouth?
- [coughing]
- [Ubah and Julia laughing]
Don't bring me any hot sauce
- Ooh!
- Oh, my God!
[Ubah] So the guy who's doing our logo
is the guy who did Guinness
- [Julia] Is this supposed to be you?
- [Robert] She's white
- [Ubah] Yeah
- Nah. Why is she white?
She needs to look like you
It can be done artistically
- I was trying to run away from that
- No!
Babe, it it says your name on it
Like, own it!
- [Ubah] Okay
- The other thing is I think each flavor
should have a different saying
from your childhood
Because every time I'm with you,
you always say these incredible things
about forgiving people,
about never being angry
That's true, actually
You're like a fountain of wisdom
I hate to sound goofy, but it's true
So lean right in
Like, I mean, seriously! I want it
to look like you and sound like you
- Okay. You don't think I gotta
- [Robert chokes]
I'm so proud of you
[Robert] It's like dropping hot wax
on your titties
[upbeat music playing]
- [Julia] Good morning. Nice weather
- Yeah, this is
[Julia] Thank you
[grunts]
So today, I'm going back
to my favorite spot on Earth,
otherwise known as Monsey, New York
Obviously sarcastic
I'm going there
because I get to pick up Aron
I'm really looking forward to today,
I've planned a lot of crazy adventures
And I want to remind Aron how much fun
having fun is, and let's hope it works
[Aron] Hey, Ima
How you doing? Brought you some cleaners
[both kiss]
- Hey, Thor!
- [dog barking]
Okay. Yes, yes!
Hi! Come, come! Come, baby, come!
- Hey, Eton!
- [Yosef] Hi, Julia
- [Julia chuckling] Hey. How you doing?
- How was your trip in?
Not bad, actually. No traffic
- Thor is excited to see you
- [Julia] I gotcha! I gotcha!
Oh, you're so sweet!
- How's school?
- Can't believe it's high school
- We don't look like high-schoolers
- Yes, you do
No, we're tiny
[Julia] So? I'm tiny
Tiny, mighty people. Look at Thor
- True
- [Eton] Yeah, Thor is tiny
Yes! See, we may be small,
but we're powerful!
You guys wanna get packed?
Ready to rock and roll?
- Sure, let me just get my stuff
- Ready to go to the city?
[Eton] Yes, very exciting
[Aron] Oof
[Julia] Eton, Aron's best friend,
is coming with us
I think Eton is an incredibly positive
influence on Aron because he's religious,
he keeps Shabbos and kosher
and all those things, and that's fine,
but he doesn't think that
talking to girls is bad
In fact, I think the first time
Aron actually spoke to a girl,
he asked Eton for advice
So I'm very happy with this friendship
mensch
- So how's it going?
- Good, good
Did he try to convince you
not to go to the high school?
- Did he have that conversation with you?
- No
Okay, good
'Cause he had it with me, I shut it down
So I'm glad he didn't have it with you
Because he told me no more girls,
no more TV, no more watching,
no more goyish music
Learning, learning, learning,
and it's kind of freaking me out
He likes to go daven
minyan
Right. What does that have to do about
not talking to girls?
That's a different issue,
so that we could address
Yeah. Is this something
you can talk to him and say,
"Hey, there's nothing wrong
talking to girls."
I know you don't believe in that
And you watch TV and movies
Sure. I-I will I will talk to him
- You know, if we are
- If we're unified and talk to him
If we're unified and talking to him
the same language, it'll be better
ben z'kunim
He's my little baby. I'm his mom,
I want him to live with me
all day, every day
I hate that we share custody,
but of course I understand it
Yosef is his dad,
and Yosef is a fantastic dad
I'm very happy with how
we're co-parenting
But, of course, I still want Aron
to come home and be with me
- [Aron] Last time my mom was here
- [Eton] Yeah?
She was like [gasps]
"You're not talking to girls?"
- [Eton] Oh my
- [mimics crying] She actually cried
- Oh, my God. Really? She actually cried?
- Yeah
- She cried. It was bad
- You're you're such a terrible kid
I know, right?
[Eton] Wait, what happened?
[Aron] Um, she asked how was Dalia,
and I said I broke up with her
Then I also said I stopped watching TV
And, "Fundamentalism, fundamentalism!"
- And then
- She really got upset with you?
"Blah, blah, blah
"Fundamentalism" a little more
If I had, like, a dollar for every time
she said fundamentalism,
I'd probably be
as rich as my mom, but [laughing]
I don't know if that's possible. Not yet
I'm not watching TV
Usually, parents would be happy
"Oh, he's doing his homework,
he's not watching TV."
Like, I don't know. What's the big deal of
me not watching TV or speaking to girls?
- [Eton] You don't talk to any girls?
- Not really
People try to be like,
"I don't know, Aron
Why don't you loosen up a little?"
And, like, that's not me
Accept that. I'm a black hatter
- [Julia] Okay, guys, you ready?
- [Aron] We can go downstairs now
- [Julia] Let's get this party started
- [Aron] Sounds like a plan
[Julia] We have to get nachos
- [Eton] I'm really in the mood for sushi
- [Julia] Let's get sushi
[Aron] Should I get a spicy tuna roll?
[Julia] How about a crunchy tuna roll?
Isn't that your friend, uhh
Or your former friend
before you stopped talking to girls?
Isn't that Dalia?
[Aron] Uh
- Yeah
- [Julia] Yeah? Is it Dalia?
- That is
- [Julia] I can't believe it
She looks amazing
Do you know the girl she's with?
- Yeah. Her friend Ilana
- [Julia] What's her name?
[Julia] Ilana?
So the plan is I've called
Aron's ex-girlfriend's mom
His ex-girlfriend and her friend are
going to be "accidentally" in Mochableu
at the same time
that we're going to be there and, well,
Aron may see her and be forced
to speak to her! Gasp!
Go say hi
That's so rude. They're gonna see you
You're not gonna say hello?
[Aron] They look really busy
- [Aron laughing]
- [Julia] See? That's what happened!
Oh, my gosh!
- [Eton] Oh, my God
- And it's yellow!
It's yellow
Perfect. That's how you want
to meet someone you haven't seen
You want pee Okay, cover that up
I'll go and say hi,
and I'm gonna bring them back
You're welcome
My mom thinks that I live in a bubble,
and she thinks that's bad
Bubble bad, outside world good
But I've experienced talking to girls,
I've experienced watching TV
I know things
- [Julia] Hey, guys! So nice to see you
- [girls] Hi!
- [Julia] I don't know you
- I'm Ilana
[Julia] Nice to meet you
So great to see you
Um, Aron and I are sitting over there
You guys wanna come join us?
- [girls] Sure!
- [Eton] Oh, no
- Are you using this?
- [woman] Nope
Thanks. Whoa! [straining] My God,
that's a lot heavier than it looks!
I'd stand up, but I peed myself
That's okay. He didn't really pee himself
He spilled water
Dalia, you remember Aron
Aron, you remember Dalia,
and this is Ilana
[Ilana] Hi!
- [Julia] So how're you guys doing?
- [girls] Good
- [Julia] How do you like high school?
- Good so far
- [Julia] Is it different?
- A little, but I like it
I know Aron and you haven't spoken
in a while
[girls giggling]
But maybe you'll, you know,
this nice impromptu lunch can cure that
[Aron] I met Dalia at school,
as my first interaction
with the opposite sex really,
besides with my family
And throughout that year,
I started cultivating a feeling,
and so did she. And I asked her out
And we became a couple. [chuckles]
This is amazing. Have you had this?
- [Dalia] My God, that looks
- [Julia] Really good
[Aron] We dated for like six months
I like biked 20 miles so I could see her
for like two hours
It was worth it back then
And yeah, we had fun
How did you tell her
you're not talking to girls anymore?
[laughing] It was a very bad text!
[Julia] It was a You texted it?
You broke up via text?
- [all laughing]
- That's it. Can you read it? Read it
I think I have it also
You didn't stop this? You knew this
was coming and you didn't stop this?
Okay, let's see what you wrote her
"You are a really special person, Dalia
You really are."
- "There aren't many people like you."
- [Eton] Oh my God
"I was lucky to date you
I just don't think dating is for me,
even though we are shomer and everything."
"I'm really sorry,
but if we continue dating,
I'd be a faker
and I want to be true to you."
[laughing continues]
"It's completely fine, I understand
I'm really happy you told me."
"Now we can continue to be friends
if that's okay."
Aww! "But I hope"
I get a "bleh" and she gets an "aww"?
Yeah, you broke up on text!
She was such a queen about it
[all laughing]
Well, but here we all are,
the future is unknown
[Dalia laughs]
[Julia] I had no intention of Dalia
and Aron getting back together
That wasn't my goal
You know, he doesn't have to be with
the same girl that he was in eighth grade
That's not what I want. What I wanted him
was to remember girls aren't evil
- [kids] Bye
- [Julia] Bye, guys
Half of the world is women
You can't just cut yourself off
from half of the planet. It's ludicrous
[Aron and Eton praying in Hebrew]
I just want him
to talk to girls. That's it
[upbeat music playing]
I just wanted to remind you that
my Zoom presentation starts in 30 minutes
If you've already signed up, swipe up
Can't wait to see you!
She better show up
She hasn't answered any of my calls
We were supposed to prep everything,
do a walkthrough
so I could be
extra, extra prepared and like
I don't really have a back-up plan
if Miriam doesn't show up
because the whole thing
is I'm styling someone
for New York Fashion Week
I can't change outfits
while I'm on a Zoom call with people
How am I gonna do that?
- She better have an incredible excuse
- [Ben] There is no excuse
- What's the excuse?
- I dunno
There's no reason to not answer
your phone for 12 hours
[suspenseful music playing]
[kissing and giggling]
My night with Nico
was really, really good
Obviously, we just, you know, talked
and did other things
Okay, I have to go
[Nico] Go where?
[Miriam] I have this thing I'm late
very late for
[Nico] Well, you have a
[both laughing]
- [Miriam] Bye, Nico
- [Nico] All right, see you later now
[both laughing]
[Miriam] I gotta go!
[tense music playing]
It's just frustrating 'cause I try
so hard to be on top of everything
and then, like, things
that aren't in my control go out of hand
- [cell phone ringing]
- Oh, my God, she's calling me
Mir?
Hey, B. Um, I'm almost there
I'm on my way
[Batsheva] Where have you been?
- I didn't realize what time it was
- You didn't realize what time it was?
I'm sorry. I'm really close
I'll be there really soon
Bye
I feel bad. Batsheva worked hard
on this project, put her name on the line
There's not gonna be repercussions
with Miriam if things don't go well
You know, if things get screwed up,
the company's gonna never want to work
with Batsheva again
They don't know or care who Miriam is
Good luck!
Okay, I'm logging on
[computer chimes]
[host] Hello, everyone!
Happy Friday and thanks for joining
today's professional speaker series
on fashion and current trends
Today, our guest Batsheva's joining us
to walk us through
different styles for fall fashion
Everyone, please welcome Batsheva
Hey, everyone. Thank you guys
so much for joining me
I really appreciate you
taking the time out of your day
I am gonna be sharing with you guys
some of my favorite fall handbags
and then different styles and outfits
that you guys can wear with them
My sister Miriam will be joining me
She was running a few minutes
late in traffic
- So she will be here any minute. Um, so
- [tense music playing]
My heart is pounding. I'm sweating,
I'm freaking out. I don't have Miriam
So I'm going to
have to figure out how to stall
So if you guys have any specific questions
about upcoming New York Fashion Week,
do you want to, like, unmute yourself?
You can ask me
[tense music continues]
Okay. No questions
I'm going to give it to this girl
because this is a really big deal for me,
and she really screwed me over
And I am not happy with her right now
New York Fashion Week
is a little bit different this year
because it's all being virtual
[knocking on door]
And hold on
[knocking continues]
[whispering] Hey, B. I'm so sorry!
[Batsheva] Just put this up here
[Miriam] So I know that Batsheva
is a little stressed
and I feel bad about that
- This is my sister Miriam
- Hi, everyone!
Sorry I'm a few minutes late
Traffic was bad this morning
I should've been there earlier,
but there's nothing to do at this point
[Batsheva] So we're gonna
start right away
I'm gonna give Miriam
her first look to try on
Leather is huge this season
This Dior handbag, it's tweed
It's brand spanking new
I think I'm the first one to ever use it
[attendee] D o you have any tips
for transitioning into fall styles?
Ooh, yes! Denim jackets are
one of my favorite things
because they give you that fall feel
And now that cardigans are super in,
you can also leave it off the shoulder
for a more chill look,
and it will still keep you warm
The next bag is a Gucci bag
We are going to be turning
this bag into a belt bag
I always love, you know,
especially, small bags,
you can fit all
of your small items in there
Miriam actually used this last night so
Some garbage sometimes
- [tense music playing]
- Oops!
Okay
Um
I'm annoyed Miriam put me in this position
where I'm pulling out underwear
on a professional Zoom call
So you take a ponytail
You want to do this as tight as possible
It may take a few times going around,
and I tuck it back in
And you guys, you took your handbag
and made it into a belt bag!
I wanted this Zoom meeting to be amazing,
and we are not hitting the mark
That's all the bags, so
and all the looks
I hope that you guys sign up for Vivrelle,
and hopefully we will see
you guys all again soon
- [attendees applauding]
- Bye, everyone
[Miriam] Bye!
[tense music playing]
What the hell happened?
I just didn't realize what time it was
I was counting on you. You put me in
a really, really uncomfortable position
This is something that was
really big for me and possibly
Based on, like, the Zoom,
it looked really good
The looks you put together were good
Everything came together in the end
Mir, I, like I want to count on you,
and you're making it really hard
You know, I wanted to potentially send
it out to different brands
and show them what I could do,
and now I don't feel comfortable doing
that because it did feel unprofessional
To add to this, the underwear
that I pulled out on camera
not knowing that something like that
was going to be in there
- You couldn't have taken your stuff out?
- I just forgot
At least I didn't, like, not show up,
and it wasn't really bad
It did work out in the end
It could've been worse
It's more the lack of communication
You could have said you were coming late
Once my phone turned back on,
but my phone was dead
I just think
there was the whole commitment to it
- No, Ben. I get it. Batsheva, yeah
- [Ben] It was this stress
But he's my husband,
and he had to hear about me
Her stress is my stress
When she's stressed, she stresses me out
Okay. I apologize
You know I'm sorry
and I didn't mean to do this
I'm sorry. Like, there's nothing else
I can say at this point
Okay, I'm just gonna
[dramatic music playing]
You can just bring my clothes out there
and I'll give this to you
- She nicely left us her panties though
- Here you go
- What am I supposed to do with these?
- [Ben] Throw it out
- And her garbage?
- Fantastic
This girl is something else
[groans]
[upbeat music playing]
[ship horn blowing]
[Julia] That was fun
- [Aron] And sneaky
- Yeah, that was fun
[Julia chuckles mischievously]
But you had a good time
[kisses]
You're the best
I have an idea
Anthony, we're driving by the office?
Yup
You want to see the office?
You've never seen it
I was gonna say
you've seen pictures on Instagram,
- but you don't go on Instagram
- Too goyish
Too goyish? [chuckles]
- You have Instagram, right?
- Yeah
Eton, I need your help here
Oy
[Julia] Okay, one person at a time
- Go on in
- [Eton] Thank you
[Julia] All right,
go on the left-hand side, guys
- Surprise!
- [upbeat music playing]
Guys, you ready
for a tented slumber party? Whoo! [laughs]
[Eton] Very cool
So all of e1972 got transformed
into like a campground
So we've got tents, campfire
[Aron] Camp Aron?
[Julia] Camp Aron!
It just looks so crazy fun
[all] One, two, three! Camp Aron!
I want Aron to remember
that the outside world is awesome
He forgot it isn't
just about learning Torah
You can learn Torah,
but you can also scream
out a balcony, and just enjoy life
Those don't have to be mutually exclusive
You ever tell ghost stories?
Once upon a time,
in a village far, far away,
- in the middle of the night
- [intriguing music playing]
someone would get killed
and there would be
ten holes in their chest
The townspeople started getting nervous
What is going on
in their incredible, beautiful town?
- [loud screeching]
- [explosions]
[Eton screaming]
[laughing and screaming]
[laughing] Oh, my God!
- That was
- [Batsheva] Did we get you?
[Julia] Surprise, by the way
All the kids are here
[all laughing]
No one other than Julia Haart
would ever think
to turn our corporate office
into this magical, like, playground
- [upbeat music playing]
- [laughing]
- [Robert] You're under arrest!
- [Julia] No!
Why doesn't mine work?
- [laughing]
- [toy guns firing]
[voice on gun] Careful
I'm just having such a good time
because all the kids are there
We're laughing our heads off
Aron is having the time of his life,
which is great
[all cheering]
- [Miriam] Hey! Hey! Hey!
- [cheering]
[Robert] Welcome, now, to the floor,
the Pineapple Twins!
I think Camp Aron
has been a great success
Good night, everybody!
[all] Good night!
- You tired, little bro?
- [Aron] Very tired
[Shlomo] Ready to have some fun?
- [Shlomo] Ooh, it got cold out
- [Aron] Really?
- [Shlomo] Really
- [Aron] No way
[Shlomo] Aron, who you texting?
Sending that to Dalia?
- Oh, yeah?
- No. [chuckles]
- [Miriam] Should we chill?
- [Shlomo] Think so? Here?
[Miriam laughs]
[Shlomo] Did you, uh, enjoy tonight?
If you were in the city,
we could do more stuff like this
- Definitely
- [Miriam] There's a lot to do in the city
[Aron] Sure
[Shlomo] "Sure." What does that mean?
[Aron] There's also lots to do in Monsey
Do you think that you aren't
experiencing enough outside of
- I think I'm experiencing a good amount
- [Miriam] Yeah?
[Aron] Yeah
I mean, there are things
you'd stop yourself from doing
for your own personal reasons
Exactly. Personal reasons
Thanks for proving my point
Why are you getting so defensive?
What's offending you?
You said,
"You'd stop yourself for personal"
So, yes. I think I'm very much myself
I think out of the years
I've been learning Torah,
I've been actually living Torah
I feel like it's true
Yeah, I mean, I thought it was right too
So I understand
At the end of the day,
you can do whatever you want
- It's about
- [Aron] Thanks for your permission
- [Miriam] Just Okay, um
- [Aron chuckles]
Whatever. Not worth it. Don't think
he's not interested in what I have to say
- Miriam, come on
- No, it's okay
- Okay. Are you judging me?
- No, I'm not
When it comes
to having these conversations with Aron,
I think the way to really show people
something is through example
Change happens when you do baby steps,
not when you, like, take a leap
You know, you just started high school,
I'm very jealous that you're going
I'll send you pictures!
Yeah, that you're going
to a very cool high school
where you can play sports,
you're getting, like, an actual education
I think you should really like appreciate
the opportunity you have
- Who said I don't appreciate?
- Well, no
I think you've made some comments
that you weren't too excited
That's true
From my understanding,
modern orthodox schools, they're fun
People like being there
My high school, everyone was miserable
I think the point of what Ima
was trying to do is not try
to get you away
shomer mitzvos
I think she's trying to show you
there's a middle path
You don't have to be extreme
on one side or the other
- No matter what you do, we'll support it
- [Shlomo] I agree
We want to show you different ways
so you can make that decision yourself
Cool
[thoughtful music playing]
I hate getting into fights with Batsheva
It doesn't happen often
And so I wanted to talk about it
and then hopefully make up
[line ringing]
[automated voice] Call has been forwarded
to an automated voice messaging
[sighs]
- Here's the check, love
- [Miriam] Awesome
Thank you so much
Here, I'll just give it to you Yeah
[Batsheva] Mir!
[Miriam] Oh
- Where're you going?
- [Miriam] Hey
[chuckles] Um, actually, I guess
Uh, excuse me?
Um, never mind. My sister's here, so
- So you want to stay?
- [Miriam] Yeah
- Of course we're staying
- It's been like 30 minutes, B
I don't think it was
that big of a big deal
Are you for real?
I called you like seven times
Did you not get my calls?
Your phone seems to be on
- Sit down. Let's take a breath
- Okay
Are you good? Like, why did you come late?
I just wanted you
to get a taste of your own medicine
Wow
Until you experience something like that,
you don't know how it feels,
but it's scary
So I know and I'm sorry
And I you're right
I love you, and I want to move on
You're my sister
I love you
- Okay?
- Okay
- Love you
- Deal
This is just Bat being my mom,
kind of giving me a lesson situation
I realized I was definitely
in the wrong in standing Bat up,
and just
everything that happened that day
I can't get too upset at her
because now I definitely do understand
how Batsheva felt
By her doing this, as much as it sucked,
it did teach me a lesson
[groans]
- Lovely
- [Miriam] Thank you
Healthy-healthy, Bat
[Batsheva] Yeah,
I'm trying to keep healthy
- So, Mir
- [Miriam] Yeah?
I just have this feeling that you
don't feel like I'm 100% supportive
of your sexuality
Whether it's bi, lesbian,
straight, whatever it is
Yeah
I've been getting the feeling from Miriam
that she's not totally open with me
about her relationships,
and I'm nervous that it's because
she thinks that I have a problem
with her sexuality or who she's dating
Whenever I try bringing up,
like, girls I date or whatever,
you always We don't really talk about it
Like, you never ask me questions
about who they are or anything like that
It just sounds like you shut it down
whenever I bring up a girl
I'm not used to you dating anybody,
so I don't think it has
anything to do with who it is
Just like a totally new concept for me
to, like, discuss
any sort of relationship with you,
so I'm sorry if you feel that I haven't
been super responsive to it
I'll definitely make sure
to be more attentive,
and I just want you to have
the best relationship and life
- I'm supportive of whoever you are with
- Okay
If they're your partner,
and you want to be with them,
and they make you happy,
that makes me happy
- Go on double dates?
- Of course!
Cool
At first, I did think
that Miriam's bisexuality was a phase
and she was just experimenting
But now I see
that she is truly who she is,
and no labels need to be put on her
And as her big sister,
I love her and I want her to be happy
no matter who she's with
By the way, how was your date with Nico?
It was really good. Really, really fun
[clears throat] Because I had
a little feeling that you slept over
being that
you weren't answering your phone
Yeah, it was just very late,
I didn't want to go back so late at night
Yeah
Fun
[both laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
No, I don't have an investor meeting
at 11:00. I don't know what I have
When you left the call,
that's what they discussed
Okay, let's walk and talk. Let's do it
- Okay
- Okay
Um
So, first thing we need to do
is go through and finish the budget
because if you're right
and I'm actually talking to an investor,
- I've got to have all the numbers
- The numbers, yeah
The other thing is we need
to figure out what to do about the kids
Because we're gonna go public,
because we're gonna IPO,
and it's not gonna be
a family-run business anymore,
I can't just bring in
all the kids at once
- [Robert] No
- It will look like massive nepotism
- Yeah
- The market is not gonna like that
So we need to figure out a way
to bring one of them in at a time
Elite is going public
It's pretty much the culmination
of all my business dreams
I mean, think about the fact
that seven years ago, I was a housewife
in upstate New York, covered head to toe,
cooking Shabbos dinners,
and now
I'm going to take my company public,
which means everyone in the world
can own a piece of our company
If that's not a miracle,
I don't know what is
So, we need to figure out which kid
we're going to bring into the company
Is it Batsheva?
Is it Shlomo? Is it Miriam?
We have to pick one kid to bring in
That's it
My God, that's gonna cause some drama
I don't want to deal with it now,
but it's something we need to do soon
Needs to be the one
that's the most integrated
[Julia] Yeah, I think so
Um, I don't want to talk about it
with the other team members,
but you and I, let's just discuss together
and figure that out
When you go public, of course,
you know, you're under SEC guidelines,
a single word could raise
or lower the value of your shares
So it is a very serious responsibility,
plus everyone has to be brought in
when they can deliver something
that is beneficial to the companies
I don't want to do anything that even has
a smattering of a feeling of nepotism
I want them to work
- Hey, guys!
- [all greeting]
So, circle of trust,
you know that we're going public
I want to hit the ground running
I want to know that the second
those dollars come in,
we have contracts ready to sign,
because we're sitting on
so much untapped potential
- Wonderful
- Amazing!
- [Julia] Guys, let's do it
- Thank you!
[Julia] It's exciting! Love this team!
All the women!
[Robert] All the women, all of us!
[Julia] All the women!
[upbeat music playing]
The Dapper Old-Fashioned?
- Do you like old-fashioneds?
- Do it!
- [Shlomo] Or the Pursuit of Passion?
- Just pick one
[chuckles]
So what's going on?
Do you want to wait for your drink
or just get into it?
- Just get into it
- [Batsheva] Yeah
Let's get into it
Basically I was sitting
and working in e1972
Okay
I hear Ima say to Robert,
"Only one of my children,"
and she mentioned our names,
"are going to be able to stay in Elite
because the company is going public."
What the fuck?
[suspenseful music playing]
I know the the phrase IPO,
if your company is going public,
then you can't just invite friends in
If you're in charge of hiring,
you could hire anyone
You might be looked down upon
for hiring them because of nepotism
But we all have very different skill sets,
it's not like we have
nothing to offer the company
- You don't have to like yell at me
- [Miriam] I'm just a little upset
My understanding
up until this point was that
all of my siblings
would be working together,
working on this incredible company
to actually create a really good impact
I'm more concerned about
who gets to even try to work at Elite,
try to go down that path, you know?
I thought all of us
would have that chance
Right now, I'm currently studying
for the LSA
I believe that Elite's going to go places,
and I want to be part of it
So there's a lot at stake
I think it's based on loyalty and who will
actually be the best for the company
And why do you think
you're really the best?
Like, to be very frank,
I am, like, doing a lot
I'm building one of their apps,
I've worked on Ima's shoes
I just think I have the skills
she's looking for
- But do you have the balls?
- I don't want balls
You need to have balls
to be the CEO of a company
- I do have what it takes
- Kahunas
When it comes to the company,
I think that my mom will be looking
for someone who will actually speak
their mind and their opinion
I think that does give me an edge
over Shlomo and Miriam,
who do go along, more or less,
with everything she does
Obviously, I'd love to work
with my siblings as well
But if it comes down to one of us,
I definitely think it should be me
All we're trying to do is be there
for ourselves, trying to be successful
I only told you guys this so that
you'd know. Just remember that
[Shlomo] No, I know. I know
Power corrupts
Absolute power absolutely corrupts
[suspenseful music playing]
[suspenseful music continues]
