59. The Truth About the 'Fixer Upper' Pilot Episode; Amazon's Top Home Decor Products House Party

This week we decided to take a walk down memory lane and rewatch the very first episode of "Fixer Upper" the iconic HGTV show that made Chip and Joanna Gaines household names. The decor was ... questionable at best. But we also had some realizations about what was probably happening behind the scenes. Were the houses pre-selected? Was the homeowners' "all-in budget" only a fraction of the money that actually went into the renovation? We talk all about it on this week's episode of "House Party."Other topics we discuss:

Busy body neighbors in the age of coronavirus and the 911 dispatcher who was shamed for not staying home

The most popular home items on Amazon right now

The most '80s mansion we've ever seen

This week's celebrity real estate winner and loser
