00:04:22Hold on, aged out?
00:04:24Of what?
00:04:25Girl, I just sent you Randall's press release about Sadie.
00:04:28Be strong.
00:04:34It's sad Megan Moore is an icon,
00:04:36but it's time she steps aside to let a new generation revive the brand?
00:04:40I'm only eight years older than Sadie.
00:04:42We're both millennials.
00:04:43Randall's working overtime to trash you.
00:04:45It says you've lost your touch.
00:04:48Yuki, what am I supposed to do?
00:04:50I'm the best executive recruiter around.
00:04:53Normally I could find some money bags backer for a new venture,
00:04:55but you're radioactive.
00:04:57You need to lay low.
00:04:58Let this blow over.
00:04:59But all I do is work.
00:05:00I mean, who am I even if I'm not running a company?
00:05:04Self-care, reconnect with old friends, meditate, volunteer.
00:05:08People actually do those things?
00:05:09No idea.
00:05:10Saw it on TikTok.
00:05:14Greg!
00:05:15Greg, hi.
00:05:17Megan Moore.
00:05:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:23Long time no talk.
00:05:25Uh-huh.
00:05:29Oh, wow.
00:05:32Oh, three kids.
00:05:34Wow.
00:05:35Greg, you're breaking up a little bit.
00:05:37A lot has happened to my sophomore year roommate.
00:05:48Every guy I ever date moved on already.
00:05:51Hello, and welcome.
00:05:57I'm Christine, and I invite you to make yourself comfortable.
00:06:02Oh, there's no way.
00:06:04It's only been one minute.
00:06:06Take a moment to pause.
00:06:08Bubble hopping is as simple as getting out of your own bubble
00:06:10and getting to know someone else from a different bubble.
00:06:14Broaden your horizons.
00:06:15See things from another person's point of view.
00:06:18Experience their day-to-day.
00:06:20Get out of your own boring rut.
00:06:22The nice lady at the rescue said you all just need a good walk.
00:06:33Easy peasy, right?
00:06:36Hardest, help!
00:06:37Help me, 911!
00:06:38Thank you for rounding up the dogs.
00:06:42Sure.
00:06:42I didn't know you cooked.
00:06:44Oh, I don't.
00:06:45I think these spices came with the house.
00:06:47Do you think that we organize them alphabetically or by flavor profile?
00:06:54You need a real project.
00:06:57Like, something you can sink your claws into
00:07:00and shred to pieces and eat the beating heart out of.
00:07:03You know, be yourself.
00:07:04Yes, I know.
00:07:05But what?
00:07:06No, no, it's my mom.
00:07:09Nope.
00:07:11You have a mom?
00:07:12Yes.
00:07:12I work very hard to keep Lois out of my flight path.
00:07:15Lois?
00:07:16Years together.
00:07:17I never knew this.
00:07:18Yes, well, if you ever met her or my sister,
00:07:21you would understand why.
00:07:23You have a sister?
00:07:25Yep.
00:07:26I'm dizzy.
00:07:28Next you're going to tell me you have a dad.
00:07:29Oh, no, I don't.
00:07:31He died when I was 13.
00:07:32Thank God.
00:07:33His passing kind of ruined my childhood.
00:07:35Sorry.
00:07:36Sorry.
00:07:36No, I meant more like,
00:07:39how much of your real life have you kept hidden from me?
00:07:42Well, let's see.
00:07:44Izzy, sister, was a toddler when our dad died.
00:07:48My mom remarried.
00:07:49And Ken's the only father figure who she's ever really known.
00:07:52Ken?
00:07:53Mm-hmm.
00:07:54And they've been bothering me to come over for dinner ever since I got five.
00:07:57Bye.
00:07:58Bye.
00:07:59I can't do it.
00:08:01Ooh, it's Beverly's Tricky Taco Night.
00:08:04Can I leave early?
00:08:05Yes, of course.
00:08:06Jealous, you're so close with your mom.
00:08:08Go, it's your mom.
00:08:11Bring her the spices.
00:08:20Sorry, we already gave it the office.
00:08:22Oh, that's good.
00:08:23There we go.
00:08:25Kidding.
00:08:26Fun.
00:08:27Come on in.
00:08:29Hug.
00:08:29Hello.
00:08:31Oh.
00:08:31Oh.
00:08:31You know, I thought you'd look more depressed.
00:08:35You sound disappointed.
00:08:36Well, it's okay to show feelings.
00:08:38Have you been journaling?
00:08:39Morning gratitude?
00:08:40Are these the questions I have to answer before I cross the troll bridge?
00:08:43Mom, Megan's here.
00:08:45Oh, a cypressorize.
00:08:53The Meg.
00:08:54Dad, that's not the compliment you think it is anymore.
00:08:57Sherry, good to see you.
00:08:58Can I fry you some spices?
00:09:00Oh.
00:09:01This smells so good.
00:09:03Ooh.
00:09:04It's Friday.
00:09:05I'm making the ladies' grown-up shirvy temples on the rock.
00:09:10Wonderful.
00:09:12That good ship lollipop goes down smooth.
00:09:14Thank you, Ken.
00:09:15The bartender's on duty all night.
00:09:16That sounds like my firstborn child, but it couldn't be because that would require she
00:09:22visit me ever.
00:09:24Feed off the sofa, it is.
00:09:25Oh, poor, poor baby.
00:09:28It's fine.
00:09:28It's fine.
00:09:31You know, I just thought you might look a little more depressed.
00:09:34Well, thanks, Mom.
00:09:35How are you?
00:09:36How have you been?
00:09:37Oh, well, I barely survived last week.
00:09:39What happened?
00:09:39My sciatica flared.
00:09:41But Izzy was my nursemaid, and we ordered an ice cream and watched some cozy mysteries.
00:09:47Harrowing tale.
00:09:48So glad you survived.
00:09:49Oh, goody.
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:50The man's finished fixing Izzy's car.
00:09:53Kenny, can you come pay him?
00:09:54Yes, yes.
00:09:55Here I come.
00:09:57And there you go.
00:09:58Oh.
00:10:00Now that you have a new window and I put you on my phone plan, I just feel so much better
00:10:05knowing you're safe, Iz.
00:10:07Thank you, Mom.
00:10:08Love you.
00:10:08Okay, you pay for Izzy's phone?
00:10:11Well, only since her old one got stolen.
00:10:14Mm.
00:10:14Yeah.
00:10:15I handed my purse to some girl in the bathroom line for like one second.
00:10:19I'm so amazed that she didn't steal your wallet.
00:10:21Oh, there's nothing in there anyways.
00:10:23So, what else did I miss?
00:10:25Well, meeting Izzy's new boyfriend, for one.
00:10:29Woody would be here, but he's waiting to be bailed out.
00:10:31Of jail?
00:10:34Well, street art is his passion.
00:10:36He tried to make a run for it, but, you know, he's not a fitness guy.
00:10:38Hey, Dad.
00:10:55How's it going up there?
00:10:59You really like the basketball this season.
00:11:01And then I think it's our year.
00:11:12I'm finally relaxing after years of nose to the grindstone.
00:11:16You know, one time in 2019, I didn't sleep for three nights.
00:11:20I did that at Burning Man.
00:11:21I was relaunching, yeah.
00:11:22I was relaunching myself.
00:11:24Okay, well, it is not a competition, girls.
00:11:29Mm.
00:11:30Ken, tank's empty.
00:11:32These are delish, though.
00:11:33What is the secret ingredient?
00:11:34Alcohol.
00:11:35You know, Megan, why don't you let Ken make you some coffee?
00:11:38Yeah.
00:11:40You know, sweetie, now that you're not so busy with work all the time.
00:11:44Actually, I'm very busy.
00:11:44I'm volunteering at a doghouse.
00:11:46It's a shelter.
00:11:47It's a doghouse shelter.
00:11:48Well, maybe you two sisters could hang out.
00:11:50Nothing like sisters.
00:11:51Nothing like sisters.
00:11:53Ken, coffee.
00:11:53Yeah.
00:11:54I love dog rescues.
00:11:56Sure.
00:11:56I mean, it is a good idea, Mom.
00:11:58But I could never take your little Izzy Izzy away from you.
00:12:03What are you talking about?
00:12:05Guys, do not make me say it.
00:12:08You're completely codependent.
00:12:10And Izzy, I love you.
00:12:12You have no ability to take care of yourself.
00:12:15Mom and Kata just move in and fix everything.
00:12:18You know what?
00:12:18Izzy is just finding her path.
00:12:21Beth, she's almost 30.
00:12:22It's a road to nowhere.
00:12:23You know what?
00:12:24That's enough, Megan.
00:12:25I'm sorry.
00:12:26Ken, you got a lot of potential.
00:12:29You want to know something?
00:12:30If you let me, I could turn your life right around.
00:12:32I would run it like a corporation and you would be a big success.
00:12:36Huge.
00:12:36Ken, please.
00:12:38I mean, Megan makes solid points.
00:12:40I want to thank you for that backup, K-Dog.
00:12:42I really do.
00:12:43My mom's right and I should call a ride share.
00:12:45No, I'll drive you.
00:12:46I don't like you riding any cars with strangers.
00:12:49The Ken Pire strikes back.
00:12:52Here we go.
00:12:53Thank you for dinner.
00:12:54Okay.
00:12:56Sweetie.
00:12:57She's just going through a rough time.
00:13:00She's venting.
00:13:01I'm coming.
00:13:14I'm coming.
00:13:16Okay.
00:13:19Hi.
00:13:20Uh, if we're about to slap fight, could we do it outside?
00:13:23The cleaners were just here.
00:13:26Oh, is, is, is.
00:13:28If this is about last night, I didn't mean it.
00:13:31No, you did mean it.
00:13:33Okay, I did, but in much more of like an inside voice kind of a way.
00:13:36You were right.
00:13:37I am almost 30.
00:13:38I'm freaking out.
00:13:39I'm not together.
00:13:40I'm a wreck.
00:13:40I'm not perfect like you.
00:13:41No, no, no.
00:13:42I never said I was perfect.
00:13:43Okay.
00:13:43The last 12 hours since your speech has been a journey.
00:13:46Bigger than when I went to that sound bath in Joshua Tree and I saw the space wolf.
00:13:51I need coffee for this.
00:13:52I'm freaking out.
00:13:53I need your help.
00:13:54There is a lot of cocktail involved in that.
00:13:56Cocktails tell the truth.
00:13:58In Vegas, Varitas, or whatever that saying is.
00:14:02Run my life like a corporation.
00:14:05Make me your project.
00:14:06Make decisions for me.
00:14:07Make me a success like you.
00:14:09I'm just not really a success right now is, okay?
00:14:13Just ask my former board of directors.
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:16I will do anything you say.
00:14:21Promise.
00:14:26You really do mean this, don't you?
00:14:28Mom did say she wanted us to hang out.
00:14:30Okay, no, wait.
00:14:32Nope.
00:14:32I get it.
00:14:33I get it now.
00:14:34You're just substituting out mom with me.
00:14:36Nope.
00:14:37No.
00:14:37You could have help.
00:14:38You could have support.
00:14:39Like, what if you built like a little board of directors thingy, okay?
00:14:42Or like just like a really supportive board.
00:14:45I mean, it's not the worst idea.
00:14:47What?
00:14:47Did I just have a good idea?
00:14:48I could see it, actually.
00:14:51Life coach by committee.
00:14:53A team of people to guide you, set you up for success, help you learn to stand on your own two feet.
00:14:58Yes.
00:14:59That.
00:14:59That's what I need.
00:15:00I need that.
00:15:01It's so crazy.
00:15:02It kind of just might work.
00:15:04So, uh, who do we put on this board?
00:15:07Oh, I know someone perfect.
00:15:09Mom.
00:15:09No, absolutely not.
00:15:11Mom is...
00:15:12Izzy, mom is half the problem.
00:15:14We cannot even tell mom about this.
00:15:16We share everything.
00:15:17She's going to smell this secret on me like onion bagel breath.
00:15:19Izzy, it is time to cut the apron strings.
00:15:22What does that even mean?
00:15:23Okay, it just means...
00:15:24No, mom, you have to promise me.
00:15:28I saw you just crossed your fingers behind your back.
00:15:31How old are we, Izzy?
00:15:32Okay, thank you.
00:15:34Was that so hard?
00:15:36Hmm.
00:15:36Okay.
00:15:37Let me book us some office space.
00:15:39Oh, I know.
00:15:39We can use that place, uh, Lilypad, that co-work place that went under.
00:15:43It'll be perfect.
00:15:44There's nobody there.
00:15:44And I will find our board of directors.
00:15:48Just you.
00:15:49Leave it to me.
00:15:52Okay.
00:15:54Oh, come on, come on, come on.
00:15:56There it is.
00:15:59Hey.
00:16:01That was my life.
00:16:02Izzy, don't you dare double dip.
00:16:16Did you just double dare me to do it?
00:16:18Don't eat the hummus.
00:16:19We're ready to go.
00:16:20Music queue's all loaded.
00:16:22Great.
00:16:22Entertaining her is going to be key.
00:16:23All right.
00:16:28Izzy, come have a seat.
00:16:35Why would you?
00:16:36Okay.
00:16:36It's a nice assortment.
00:16:37All right.
00:16:41Well, without any further ado, Isabel Alexandra Moore, are you ready to meet your new board
00:16:49of directors?
00:16:51You are familiar with her work.
00:16:53If you've seen my wardrobe, a queen of fashion.
00:16:56Professional stylist.
00:16:58Yeah, love.
00:17:04She's like a supermodel.
00:17:06She loves to fix her upper.
00:17:07Oh, it's not giving.
00:17:14It's taking.
00:17:15It's eating?
00:17:15I love an impossible challenge.
00:17:17Okay.
00:17:18Next up, we have retired CPA, small business owner, and kitten rescue advocate.
00:17:24Your current boss, Frank.
00:17:32Frank, you're in on this.
00:17:35I'm rooting for you, baby.
00:17:36Boom.
00:17:36Oh, you old socky.
00:17:39Frank wants you to find your financial footing and a new career far away from his pizza business.
00:17:44Far away.
00:17:45Yeah.
00:17:46Okay.
00:17:46Our next board member is the author of an extremely popular email newsletter on love and relationships.
00:17:54Soul surcise.
00:17:56Patsy!
00:17:57Izzy's childhood babysitter.
00:17:58Izzy Bear, come in for us, mother.
00:18:10Ah!
00:18:12Izzy was a lovable terror who always went through my purse.
00:18:15I'm excited to see who she'll become.
00:18:17Okay.
00:18:20There's one more person who's late, not impressing me.
00:18:25Curtis, I thought you screened this guy.
00:18:26I did.
00:18:27He was the best applicant from online.
00:18:29Also the only one who wasn't totally bananas.
00:18:32Right.
00:18:32Uh, pardon.
00:18:34Every responsible board must recruit an independent director, meaning someone who has no personal
00:18:38stake in the company.
00:18:39So I'm afraid we can't really proceed until we, I...
00:18:42Oh, the parking thief.
00:18:49The bubble hopping guy?
00:18:51Dominique Hayes, chair of psychology at Rossmoor College.
00:18:54So, she's a fan of my videos.
00:18:57I would say a fan, more of a algorithmically accidental viewer.
00:19:01And that parking spot was fair game.
00:19:03Why did you respond to the ad?
00:19:05A person's life ran like a corporation.
00:19:08Never hopped into that kind of bubble.
00:19:10Bring it on.
00:19:12Hello, fellow board members.
00:19:24I am Megan, Izzy's sister and the chairperson of this board.
00:19:27Yes, with a question already.
00:19:30Yeah, I thought the role of chairperson is something we all vote on.
00:19:34Right.
00:19:35Robert's rules of order will be followed by this board.
00:19:38Curtis, are you taking minutes?
00:19:39Always am.
00:19:40Great.
00:19:41Then I formally propose that I be chairperson of this board, unless, of course, anyone else
00:19:46thinks that they are better suited for the job.
00:19:49Not me.
00:19:50All in favor, say aye.
00:19:51Aye.
00:19:52There.
00:19:53We voted.
00:19:54You happy?
00:19:54Yeah.
00:19:55Good.
00:19:56Now, let's get started.
00:19:58Izzy, what do you want out of life?
00:20:01I want to be able to afford nice stuff.
00:20:05Gorgeous stuff.
00:20:05I would love hair like they have in the shampoo commercials and a boyfriend who's not going
00:20:11to sell my TV for burrito money.
00:20:13How about for cow's own money?
00:20:15Goals.
00:20:16Limited.
00:20:16But nonetheless, goals.
00:20:20Okay.
00:20:21Now, our primary objective is to ensure that we improve the overall trajectory of Izzy's
00:20:29life.
00:20:29Our core value, make sure that Izzy's best interests are front and center.
00:20:35All in favor, say aye.
00:20:36Aye.
00:20:37Wonderful.
00:20:38Izzy, do you promise to follow the objectives set forward by your board of directors?
00:20:47I do.
00:20:49Yeah, in there.
00:20:51That's...
00:20:52Wow.
00:20:53Curtis drank that from the minutes.
00:20:55The minutes shall reflect that this board has officially been formed.
00:20:59I'll send you those bylaws later.
00:21:00All right.
00:21:01On to committee assignments.
00:21:03Jilla, branding and marketing.
00:21:05Frank, finance and strategic planning.
00:21:08You got it.
00:21:09Patsy, did you just hit 40 years married to Al?
00:21:12And still snuggling like newlyweds.
00:21:14Okay, your committee's definitely relationship management.
00:21:17If everyone doesn't already have be scheduled on their phone...
00:21:20Download it.
00:21:21I'll be sending calendar invites for everyone's individual presentations.
00:21:25As for our psychology professor?
00:21:28Right.
00:21:29Yes.
00:21:29He's our unbiased observer.
00:21:31He's responsible for evaluating if the board is generally on the right track.
00:21:35And your unpaid attendance is mandatory.
00:21:38Well, it's a good thing my workload is like this semester.
00:21:41So, what's your committee assignment?
00:21:44Operations oversight.
00:21:45I will make sure that best practices are used for all of our deliverables.
00:21:49Now, our deadline.
00:21:51Izzy's 30th birthday.
00:21:54I know what you're thinking.
00:21:55It's only three months away.
00:21:56Good luck with that.
00:21:57No problem with me.
00:21:58Three months.
00:21:59We can do this.
00:22:00With our guidance.
00:22:01Her world will be overhauled.
00:22:04We can help her master the life skills needed to be profitable and successful.
00:22:09Let's do it.
00:22:10Oh, Izzy.
00:22:12Meeting adjourned.
00:22:14We can do it.
00:22:16Per usual, I'm a miracle worker.
00:22:18Troy Graves, nepple baby to the Graves oil dynasty, is looking to impress Daddy by investing
00:22:23in startups.
00:22:24And he wants to hear what new app ideas you're cooking up.
00:22:27Seriously?
00:22:28I'm on his radar?
00:22:30He's new to this and isn't in Randall's world of penny business politics.
00:22:33All he needed to hear was how smart you are.
00:22:35Well, I am working on a personal project, sort of a full-life makeover of my sister.
00:22:41Really?
00:22:41Is that a thing?
00:22:42Yeah, yeah.
00:22:43The app idea would be crowdsourcing your most important decisions.
00:22:48Tagline, life coach by committee.
00:22:50Choose the right people and you can't go wrong.
00:22:52I love it.
00:22:52Get your pitch together.
00:22:53I'll circle back.
00:22:59Now, you all know me as Frank.
00:23:01An easy-going, kitten-loving, master of the wood-fired pizza oven.
00:23:07But before I invested my retirement funds into making gourmet pies, I was Frank.
00:23:14The accountant.
00:23:16Dark lord of numbers.
00:23:19Now, Izzy, how do you do your taxes?
00:23:23Frank, doesn't the cash register at work just add that automatically?
00:23:25He means income taxes, sweet pea.
00:23:28You know, I give you a W-2 every January.
00:23:30Oh, yes, and I always say thank you.
00:23:33Curtis, check the IRS database for outstanding warrants.
00:23:35Excuse me, um, do you even track your spending?
00:23:39Oh, no, of course I do.
00:23:40I have a whole system.
00:23:41Oh, I even brought it.
00:23:46Shoe boxes for shoe receipts.
00:23:49And then the takeout box is full of all the delivery orders.
00:23:53You know, I think that's just recycling.
00:24:01Okay, uh, before we learn how to budget, we're gonna learn a new sentence, kitty cat.
00:24:07I can't afford it.
00:24:09You can say it.
00:24:10I can't afford it.
00:24:12I don't want to say that.
00:24:13Come on, Izzy.
00:24:14You agreed.
00:24:16Can I have a bathroom break?
00:24:17Later.
00:24:17I can't.
00:24:26It's a start, and we'll work on it.
00:24:28Okay.
00:24:34You really do get the best spot.
00:24:36I'm strategic.
00:24:37Can't leave these things to chance.
00:24:39Ah, practical life motto.
00:24:40I go after what I want, trying to be a good example to Izzy.
00:24:44Uh-huh.
00:24:44Is that why you're doing this?
00:24:46What do you mean?
00:24:47The psychologist in me wonders what you're getting out of this.
00:24:50Helping my sister.
00:24:53Good night.
00:24:54Good night.
00:24:57After doing a thorough evaluation of Izzy's current inventory.
00:25:01Oh, not my bridesmaid's combo dress.
00:25:03She said you wear it all again.
00:25:04I've been through four boyfriends in those jeans.
00:25:06Those are my custom-made roller skates.
00:25:12Classic.
00:25:13In a retro way.
00:25:14We keep.
00:25:17Those are working clothes.
00:25:19Those would be great on working women.
00:25:20They'd get a leg up.
00:25:21Mermaids don't have legs.
00:25:24One woman's trash is another woman's Halloween costume.
00:25:28I'm focusing on maximizing our ROI.
00:25:31I won't wear camping clothes.
00:25:33ROI means return on investment.
00:25:35I still won't wear camping clothes.
00:25:36iMotion rebranding Izzy in affordable, classic clothing.
00:25:42Ooh, I second.
00:25:48Oh.
00:25:51All of this was in your car trunk?
00:25:53Sample sale rejects.
00:25:55Budget-friendly designer.
00:25:57Look it.
00:25:58Oh.
00:25:59Is this so real?
00:26:00Yes.
00:26:02Welcome to my world.
00:26:03Yes.
00:26:06The show will now begin.
00:26:25Oh.
00:26:26Wow, look at you, Izzy.
00:26:28Izzy.
00:26:29Looks fantastic.
00:26:30Oh, my God, how fabulous.
00:26:31Izzy, you look beautiful.
00:26:42Okay, today we are whiteboarding Izzy's new career prospects.
00:26:46Take it away, Frank.
00:26:47Thank you, Megan.
00:26:48I present Izzy's career options.
00:26:55Are you even interested in these fields?
00:26:59Uh, esthetician sounds fun.
00:27:00Oh, I fainted during ear piercing.
00:27:02Well, let's brainstorm careers that don't involve needles.
00:27:05Izzy, logic question.
00:27:07What's your passion in life?
00:27:09Work should bring you joy.
00:27:10Nope, she's had enough joy.
00:27:11That's why we're all here.
00:27:13Uh, Curtis, would you mind reading back the minutes from our first meeting about Izzy's goals?
00:27:17I want to afford nice stuff.
00:27:19That's enough.
00:27:20Is that still true?
00:27:22Yeah.
00:27:23Yeah.
00:27:23Okay, let's work backwards from there.
00:27:26Okay, here we go.
00:27:28There is no money in ear piercing.
00:27:30Half the people in my gym think that they're also yoga teachers, and I am not even addressing clown school.
00:27:35We need to work with Izzy's core competencies, so I drew up a resume.
00:27:40Curtis, if you could, please.
00:27:42This is what will get Izzy the dream job.
00:27:47Most recent job senior provisions courier, Frank's wood-fired pizza?
00:27:51I upscaled it a little.
00:27:52Branding sales associate, Nation One Health Services.
00:27:56I, uh, handed out sunscreen at Coachella once and got a free ticket.
00:28:00Aren't these kind of a stretch?
00:28:03Yeah, well, they're kind of a stretch that worked.
00:28:06My recruiter friend Yuki just got Iz an interview this Thursday to be the receptionist at a new art gallery.
00:28:12Well, I don't know anything about art.
00:28:14Oh, don't worry, honey, nobody does.
00:28:17No.
00:28:17Okay, Frank will go over interview techniques with you.
00:28:19Next action item, Izzy's social media makeover is complete.
00:28:26That's nice.
00:28:27Oh, that's so pretty and clean.
00:28:29Megan had me scattered in some socially relevant inspirational quotes.
00:28:32There's a Marilyn Monroe.
00:28:34Goddess.
00:28:35Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world.
00:28:38Oh, come on.
00:28:40Marilyn Monroe is the most fake quoted woman in history.
00:28:42Says who?
00:28:43Bette Mittler, the one who said that.
00:28:45What?
00:28:45Hocus Pocus 2.
00:28:47What women want.
00:28:48The point is it's inspirational.
00:28:50I'm clearly getting a lot of likes.
00:28:52Double tap.
00:28:56Yes!
00:29:03So, Izzy doesn't know we're coming?
00:29:05As head of operations oversight, I am leading this unscheduled field trip to check on compliance incognito.
00:29:11In secret?
00:29:12I don't know.
00:29:13Trust is a cornerstone to a relationship.
00:29:15True, but with any kitten I rescue, I consider the soul behind the meow.
00:29:21Frank, you contain multitudes.
00:29:22I can't believe I'm about to see my handiwork at work.
00:29:24Izzy did land this job on her own.
00:29:26What do you mean with my fake resume or Frank's coaching?
00:29:28Give her a little credit, I'll go.
00:29:30Here.
00:29:31First.
00:29:31After you.
00:29:32Why are you making this weird?
00:29:33Because I can.
00:29:33Just let a guy open the door for you with no strings attached.
00:29:35Hi, thanks for coming.
00:29:44If you like anything, please.
00:29:47Hello, artist community gallery?
00:29:49Okay.
00:29:50Uh-huh.
00:29:52No.
00:29:52Mm-mm.
00:29:53That one is sold.
00:29:54Mm-mm.
00:29:55There she is.
00:29:55Ah, the receptionist in the wild.
00:29:57Yeah.
00:29:57You know what?
00:29:58Maybe we'll get another.
00:29:59No, yeah, no, that's not how it works, is it?
00:30:01Okay.
00:30:02All right, we'll talk later.
00:30:04Hmm.
00:30:05I don't care about whatever this is, but these colors would look great on Izzy.
00:30:09You know, I bet if I could do her colors, I bet she's a sprain.
00:30:14You heard my spell.
00:30:16What?
00:30:16Possession's an identity law.
00:30:17Move it, tiny.
00:30:24I could do that.
00:30:27Wait.
00:30:28Could I do that?
00:30:29I mean, what even is this?
00:30:34It's odd.
00:30:35Someone slushed her.
00:30:37Hmm.
00:30:39I admire the embracement of vacuous space and uncertainty here.
00:30:43Note to self, explore this theme in a series of calzones.
00:30:50Here.
00:30:55Megan?
00:30:56Megan?
00:30:59Megan?
00:31:00Mom?
00:31:01What is going on here?
00:31:02Oh, sweetheart, here I was so worried that your social media had been hacked by AI.
00:31:07But no, this looks like it's the real deal.
00:31:11Port mission.
00:31:12We've been compromised, I repeat.
00:31:14A port?
00:31:14This outfit?
00:31:15Izzy?
00:31:16Wow.
00:31:17That is not your usual mix and match coordinates from the mall.
00:31:21It's gorgeous.
00:31:22Is it real, designer?
00:31:23Uh, yeah, no, it actually is, believe it or not.
00:31:27Uh, Mom, what are you doing here?
00:31:29Well, what are you doing here?
00:31:30What are you both doing here?
00:31:32I was tracking Izzy on her phone because I don't know where you've been lately.
00:31:35You certainly do go to some empty office building a lot.
00:31:38Uh-huh.
00:31:39Those are the LilyPad offices and they hold sample sales there.
00:31:42Hmm.
00:31:43Which explains Izzy's new look.
00:31:44Oh.
00:31:45Mm-hmm.
00:31:45And a new job, apparently.
00:31:47Mom, what did you mean by tracked?
00:31:49I put the family scan app on Izzy's new phone.
00:31:52It's just a silly GPS thing.
00:31:54Of course, Ken, he thinks I'm a worrywart, but like Sally Field, not without my daughter.
00:32:00Aw, Mom, you track us.
00:32:02Well, not Megan.
00:32:04Unless you want me to, sweetheart.
00:32:06No, I don't.
00:32:07Uh, Mom, we should probably let Izzy get back to work.
00:32:10Well, what about dinner?
00:32:11I mean, your poor baby sister, she's got to eat.
00:32:15I'm buying.
00:32:17I'm sorry.
00:32:18Have we met?
00:32:19Uh, Dominic Hayes.
00:32:21Oh.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:22Oh.
00:32:23You two are together.
00:32:25No.
00:32:26I'm a fellow lover.
00:32:27Megan, he's adorbs.
00:32:29Maybe we should all just go to Monsieur Frog's Bistro.
00:32:33Oh, and Izzy, you forgot our appointment.
00:32:36So I just came here.
00:32:37Mom and I have this, uh, tradition where we go to bridal boutiques and we try on dresses and drink free champagne.
00:32:42Uh-huh.
00:32:43What?
00:32:44Oh, you can't tell me that's real.
00:32:45It is if you're engaged.
00:32:46But why?
00:32:47Can't a mother dream?
00:32:49I mean, you girls are not getting any younger, and I want grandchildren.
00:32:53Uh, but...
00:32:54I, Izzy, you should definitely get back.
00:32:56Right, uh, you know what?
00:32:57Sorry, Mom.
00:32:58Um, I have to take this really seriously.
00:33:00Aw.
00:33:01Well, uh, maybe.
00:33:03All right, Mom, we should probably let her.
00:33:05Come on.
00:33:05We can't see any art?
00:33:07That's a very nice one, isn't it?
00:33:08That's wonderful.
00:33:09It's beautiful.
00:33:14Mom, there you are.
00:33:15Look, the bad news is Izzy cannot be your on-call play date anymore, but the good news is you can stop paying her bills.
00:33:22Well, moms like to be needed sometimes.
00:33:24I understand, but please stop tempting her and sabotaging her new career.
00:33:30So, Dominic, how long have you and Megan known each other?
00:33:34Not long, a few weeks.
00:33:36Oh, and what do you do?
00:33:38Uh, please, Mom, no interrogation.
00:33:40Well, excuse me for being curious about your life, Megan.
00:33:43It would be the first time.
00:33:45Oh.
00:33:46So, you know, I do have that dinner, Izzy.
00:33:48How about all three of us go together?
00:33:51Actually, we have a whole kind of art crawl thing happening, so we can't make it.
00:33:55It's a lovely offer, Lois.
00:33:56Will rain check?
00:33:57You betcha.
00:33:58Yeah, so good to see you, Mom.
00:33:59Get home safe.
00:34:01Okay.
00:34:02Goodbye.
00:34:03Lois does not know anything about the board, and it has to stay that way.
00:34:07Why?
00:34:07She seems delightful.
00:34:08She is.
00:34:09She's lovely, and she and Izzy are BFFs, but she totally coddles her, and apparently they go on a weird secret shopping trip.
00:34:15The fake wedding dress thing actually sounds fun.
00:34:18I mean, free champagne?
00:34:19Well, no, I've never been invited.
00:34:21Uh-huh.
00:34:23Now we're getting somewhere.
00:34:24What does that mean?
00:34:27Oh, no.
00:34:28Oh, no.
00:34:29Do not do that psychology thing where you make me answer my own questions, because I am not jealous about being left out at all.
00:34:35It's understandable if you are.
00:34:37Look, I think your mom wants to hang.
00:34:39This is me.
00:34:41Of course it is.
00:34:42Right out the front.
00:34:43Hmm.
00:34:44Let me.
00:34:50I'm fine.
00:34:54Curtis, whiteboard and lights.
00:35:01Our missy here is romantically on board.
00:35:04Her little ship's tossing at the sea because she can't find a reliable port to drop anchor.
00:35:11Okay, yeah, when you see them bunched together like bad bananas.
00:35:14Baby, you want a bow, not a barnacle.
00:35:16Let's fish for a keeper.
00:35:18Way to commit to the nautical theme.
00:35:19Thanks, Frank.
00:35:21Al and I met on a holiday cocktail cruise.
00:35:23The ocean is a metaphor for love.
00:35:25So I motion this pearl, ditch her oyster shell and find someone new.
00:35:30I second that motion.
00:35:31Time to get on the soul-crushing dating apps.
00:35:34Eh, I don't know.
00:35:36I think Izzy should meet a man doing things she loves.
00:35:39You know, like traffic school or doubling back to get free grocery store samples.
00:35:44Yeah, but that's how she met all the bad bananas.
00:35:46Oh, yeah, not true. Woody and I met in line at the port-a-potty for Lollapalooza.
00:35:50Hmm, all right, we need to get practical.
00:35:52Treat finding love like finding that one perfect pair of jeans.
00:35:57They look good, they feel good, they're just right.
00:36:01All of my online readers swear by truelovesmatch.com.
00:36:05All right, so all in favor of online dating, say aye.
00:36:08Aye.
00:36:09Aye.
00:36:09Aye.
00:36:10He enjoys volleyball, camping, and making authentic Thai food.
00:36:15Let's meet Zach.
00:36:17No.
00:36:18Oh, I'm still getting lost in his eyes.
00:36:20No.
00:36:20He cut himself out from an old photo with an ex-girlfriend.
00:36:22He's clearly not over her.
00:36:23Exactly.
00:36:24It takes one second to take a new selfie.
00:36:27If there's another arm in the photo, it's attached to the hand he wishes he was holding.
00:36:30Mm-hmm.
00:36:31Maybe it's his sister or a friend.
00:36:33It's not.
00:36:34Bullet dodged.
00:36:36Next.
00:36:36All right, let's move on to Steven.
00:36:38He's a doctor who once revived a heart attack victim on an airplane.
00:36:42Sounds promising-ish.
00:36:43Let's see him.
00:36:45Is that supposed to be his niece?
00:36:48Babysitting?
00:36:49Maybe it's his own Bambina.
00:36:51Oh, I can't be a step-on.
00:36:52Online dating is such a needle in a haystack approach.
00:36:55Right?
00:36:56That's why I deleted my dating app.
00:36:57Same.
00:36:57It's just a big bait and switch.
00:37:00What if we reverse engineered this, figured out what the ideal mate is?
00:37:05I like your blue sky thinking.
00:37:06Let's make a list.
00:37:07Meg loves the list.
00:37:08Mm-hmm.
00:37:09Like, for me, my ideal mate has to be funny.
00:37:11Yes.
00:37:12Sense of humor is a must.
00:37:13And they should also be at least a little bit handy.
00:37:16Like, they could build a medium-level difficulty desk.
00:37:18Exactly.
00:37:19Like owns an Allen wrench and isn't afraid of a little DIY.
00:37:22Yes.
00:37:22And they have to be a basketball fan, of course.
00:37:25Oh, 100%.
00:37:25Did you catch the game the other night?
00:37:27Legendary.
00:37:28And, you know, just somebody who you feel like you can be yourself around.
00:37:31Someone you can confide in.
00:37:33Yeah, someone who genuinely listens.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:37Someone who thinks you're pretty great just in the U.S.
00:37:39Can we get the boat back on course?
00:37:43I'm getting seasick.
00:37:45While you two were so cutely sidetracked with DIY and basketball, Izzy picked Carson, a finance
00:37:51wizard who's into tennis, Japanese whiskey, and Taylor Swift, but only because his niece
00:37:56has twisted his arm.
00:37:57And Patsy already messaged him.
00:37:59Wow.
00:38:00Okay.
00:38:00He just asked me out for tonight.
00:38:03Oh, wow.
00:38:03Wait.
00:38:04Patsy, what did you say?
00:38:06Don't want to know.
00:38:07Well, that felt quick, but all in favor of Izzy dating Carson, say aye.
00:38:12Aye.
00:38:13Matt.
00:38:14Just don't like the guy.
00:38:15Bad vibes.
00:38:16Oh, Frank.
00:38:17It's a fine option.
00:38:19Oh, I'm sure close to you eyes.
00:38:22I got him close, please, straight away.
00:38:27He hadn't even told me his name.
00:38:30And the blood smear on my face.
00:38:33Oh, for the first time day.
00:38:36He was cool.
00:38:42Oh.
00:38:45Help me get cleaned up.
00:38:48We made very, very small talk as we walked to the picture house.
00:38:59Professor Hayes with a present wrench in the upstairs bathroom.
00:39:13Hey, thank you so much for coming over to help out.
00:39:17Yeah, no worries. I was just at home grading papers tonight anyway.
00:39:21Exciting, huh?
00:39:22Oh, yeah. Almost as exciting as my night of wine and doom scrolling.
00:39:25Speaking of grading papers, why a professor of psychology?
00:39:32You really want to know?
00:39:33Yes, I do want to know.
00:39:35Well, I'm fascinated about what makes people tick, what motivates us, why we do what we do.
00:39:42I moved to America, got a PhD in psych, but quickly realized I didn't want to be a therapist.
00:39:47Why not?
00:39:48I enjoy the research. Exploring the big picture and the teaching gives me a healthy work-life balance.
00:39:54Oh, right. Yeah, like grading papers on a Saturday night kind of work-life balance.
00:39:58Ouch.
00:40:00Mad I'm wanting to do it scrolling.
00:40:03Wait a minute. Aha.
00:40:07Rubber gasket shot.
00:40:09Oh, I have more of those.
00:40:12Sometimes, when I'm at Hardware Hamlet, I like to stack up.
00:40:17Yeah, me too.
00:40:18There we go. Okay.
00:40:24And?
00:40:25And?
00:40:27Voila.
00:40:28Oh, that is perfect. Thank you.
00:40:30I really appreciate you coming over. I didn't think you'd text me back.
00:40:34I didn't even think you really liked me very much.
00:40:36Well, you stole my parking spot.
00:40:37You cannot get over that, can you?
00:40:39Yeah, I have to admit, I've never met anyone like you before.
00:40:45It's refreshing. You've certainly rocked me out of my bubble.
00:40:50Happy to help out.
00:40:53But I am recording the game, if you don't want it to.
00:40:56Oh, you're inviting me to watch the game.
00:40:59Well, I mean, you're the psychology professor, so you tell me.
00:41:02Sure.
00:41:04Yes, yes, yes.
00:41:04Yes!
00:41:21What's here?
00:41:23Surprised.
00:41:24Ta-da!
00:41:37It's yours.
00:41:38What?
00:41:40Oh, no way.
00:41:41Thought you'd like it.
00:41:43No, no, no, no way.
00:41:44As in, I can't afford this.
00:41:45See, I practiced.
00:41:47Actually, you can.
00:41:48Well, I technically paid the deposit in the first six months' rent,
00:41:51but think of it as a gift to get you out of that roommate situation.
00:41:55Plus, if you stick to the budget that we drew up for you,
00:41:59you absolutely can afford it in this fancy new gallery job.
00:42:04Okay.
00:42:05I will move in under one condition.
00:42:08Hmm.
00:42:09Lunch with Mom.
00:42:10No.
00:42:10Why not?
00:42:11You are too hard on her.
00:42:13I'm not too...
00:42:14Anything on her is.
00:42:15I'm not.
00:42:16Okay, well, I miss her,
00:42:18and I think if we do spend a little time with her,
00:42:21then maybe she wouldn't try to track me down like she did before.
00:42:24Okay, that's fair.
00:42:26Oh, and you guys can meet my new man.
00:42:29Do you mean Carson?
00:42:32Izzy, that's very fast.
00:42:34We've been out twice.
00:42:36You know, Carson talks a lot about work,
00:42:37and, you know, I know it's very important
00:42:39because I don't understand a word he's saying.
00:42:41That's not true, Iz.
00:42:42No, it is. Wait until you see.
00:42:43Okay.
00:42:44What I mean is, Izzy, you're very smart.
00:42:47I got a negative on my SAT.
00:42:49Didn't know that was possible.
00:42:50When you don't show up, it is.
00:42:52Okay. Anyway,
00:42:53I am very much looking forward to meeting Carson.
00:42:55It's really good to meet someone who opens your world up.
00:42:59Oh.
00:42:59Yeah.
00:43:00Who is he?
00:43:02Tell me.
00:43:02I didn't...
00:43:03Tell me, tell me, tell me.
00:43:04Oh, my God.
00:43:06Is it Dominic?
00:43:07How?
00:43:08It is Dominic.
00:43:10It is so cute.
00:43:12Cute? Is it cute?
00:43:13Yes! That he's into you.
00:43:15How can you tell?
00:43:17When was the last time you dated?
00:43:18I remember high-waisted jeans were coming back into style.
00:43:22Oh.
00:43:23Anyway, he did kind of come over the other night.
00:43:26Oh, way to go, sis.
00:43:28Fixed my shower.
00:43:30Anyway, I thought we were talking about you and Carson.
00:43:33I can't wait to meet him.
00:43:34Anyway, well, at lunch.
00:43:36Come on.
00:43:3730 George Washingtons were a cheeseburger.
00:43:46Izzy knows to meet us here, right?
00:43:48Yes.
00:43:49And not Monsieur Frog's Bistro?
00:43:50Yes, yes, mom.
00:43:51Carson made the reservation.
00:43:53Does he think we're paying?
00:43:55Honey, did you bring the airline miles credit card?
00:43:58Dollywood, here we come.
00:43:59Don't worry.
00:44:00Izzy says it's his treat that this guy makes bank.
00:44:03Oh.
00:44:04Well, when did you talk to Izzy?
00:44:06Um, I can't remember exactly, but it was, it did happen, and it was, it was recently-ish.
00:44:13I hope this is one of those places that send leftovers home in those big foil swans.
00:44:18Oh, he looks chiseled out of marble.
00:44:23The real stuff, not the countertops.
00:44:26Hmm.
00:44:27I could take him in an old school Navy pull-up contest.
00:44:30I am good.
00:44:32Everyone, this is Carson.
00:44:34Izzy told me all about you.
00:44:35Ken.
00:44:36Lois.
00:44:37Megan.
00:44:38Sid, Sid.
00:44:39So, how did you two meet, and why didn't I know anything about this before?
00:44:44Because they, uh, met online, right, Iz?
00:44:46Yep.
00:44:47It's a true love's match.
00:44:49See what I did there?
00:44:50So clever.
00:44:52And Carson, that is a handsome name.
00:44:55So, what is it that you do besides belong to an elegant club?
00:45:00Hedge fund manager.
00:45:01Oh, manager.
00:45:02Now, that sounds very official.
00:45:05How about I order us all the best dishes, and we share?
00:45:08Okay.
00:45:09Okay, we will have two of your filet gignons.
00:45:12It's a little different for Izzy.
00:45:14Why?
00:45:14Because he has a job.
00:45:16Well, yes, and he's wearing shoes.
00:45:18They were nice shoes.
00:45:19All right, I make it quick.
00:45:21I'm angry.
00:45:23Wow, you have such a good sense of humor.
00:45:26And he is so smart.
00:45:28Carson's teaching me a lot about his work, like derivatives.
00:45:32Derivatives.
00:45:33That's where it's at.
00:45:34I didn't know that Izzy was interested in money.
00:45:37Besides spending mine.
00:45:38We call it finance, not money.
00:45:41Oh, well, look at me.
00:45:43I don't know the insider lingo.
00:45:48Ken.
00:45:53So fascinating.
00:45:55My expertise is in long-short equity strategy.
00:45:59See, now what that is in layman's terms.
00:46:01Taking a long position on a stock on the rise, and the short position on a stock on the decline.
00:46:05Hey, sounds like sister took accounting 101.
00:46:09Yeah, actually, I, never mind.
00:46:11Well, it's all Greek to me.
00:46:13The Greeks did invent money.
00:46:15And a salad.
00:46:16Um, hey, I thought Dominic was going to be here.
00:46:19Oh, yes, Art Dominic.
00:46:21I liked him.
00:46:22We're just pals.
00:46:23Oh, is that because you friendzoned him with home repairs?
00:46:26Ooh, girl talk.
00:46:27No girl talk.
00:46:28Denial.
00:46:29Well, you know what?
00:46:30If you girls do want to gossip, we could do a three-way FaceTime.
00:46:33I do it all the time with Jill and Ronna from the baking Reddit.
00:46:37Babe, before I forget, big client drinks tonight.
00:46:41You going to change?
00:46:42Oh.
00:46:43Uh, yes, if it's cocktail attire, you could wear that green dress from the sample sale.
00:46:47Mmm.
00:46:47Oh, uh, do you think gold shoes are black?
00:46:50Oh, black for sure.
00:46:50Well, I am going to have to check out this sample sale myself sometime soon.
00:46:56Mmm.
00:46:57Mmm.
00:46:58Thank you so much.
00:46:59Oh.
00:47:01Okay.
00:47:01Call me.
00:47:02All right, I will.
00:47:02I will.
00:47:04Okay.
00:47:05Bye.
00:47:11Something is going on here.
00:47:13Yeah, Mom.
00:47:14Izzy finally decided to adult.
00:47:15Does this have something to do with that dinner party monologue from last month?
00:47:19Mom, why would you say that?
00:47:20Well, new look, new job, new boyfriend.
00:47:24All without consulting me.
00:47:28I just hope she's happy.
00:47:29Of course she's happy.
00:47:30Why wouldn't she be?
00:47:31This is everything she's ever wanted.
00:47:33Is it?
00:47:35Okay.
00:47:36What does that mean?
00:47:38No.
00:47:39Nothing.
00:47:43Six swans a-swimming, leftovers for K-Dog.
00:47:46Oh.
00:47:46Let's get Lois home.
00:47:49Yeah, I'll hold them.
00:47:50Yeah, just give them to me.
00:47:51Be very gentle with them.
00:47:52Very gentle with them.
00:47:53Delicate.
00:47:54See you later, Meggert.
00:47:55See you, K-Pop.
00:47:56Thank you, Meggert.
00:47:58Thank you, Meggert.
00:47:58Thank you, Meggert.
00:47:58Thank you, Meggert.
00:48:28He's in Vegas for a bachelor party for one of his bros.
00:48:31Private plane, pricey cigars, high stakes, poker.
00:48:34Sounds boring.
00:48:36They're great.
00:48:37Hey, uh, Is, are you, um, are you happy with Carson?
00:48:43Well, it's what the board chose, right?
00:48:45Yeah, but that's not really what I'm asking.
00:48:48Isn't that my mail?
00:48:50Well, it's not mine.
00:48:51That's very 1990s.
00:48:54Oh.
00:48:54Is that a party invitation?
00:48:57Same.
00:48:59It's like Marjorie's turning the big 7-0.
00:49:02She was my board member.
00:49:03It'd be scheduled.
00:49:04She was the only one who I actually liked.
00:49:06Well, I love a party.
00:49:07Let's go.
00:49:08Oh, no, Is, it's not like that kind of a party.
00:49:11It's gonna be, you know, fancy champagne, classical music,
00:49:15but just corporate chit-chat.
00:49:16Will you have me at free champagne?
00:49:18Is, see, first of all, there's no such thing as free champagne.
00:49:20Why?
00:49:20Look, Randall's gonna be there, okay?
00:49:25That trash basket that ousted you from your job?
00:49:27That very trash basket.
00:49:29Well, who cares?
00:49:30If Marge wants you to be there, you should go.
00:49:35No, you know what?
00:49:37You're right.
00:49:37I should not let Randall dictate my social schedule.
00:49:41Exactly.
00:49:43So what are we wearing?
00:49:46It's just wild to me that Carson goes to this club, too.
00:49:50I mean, I just can't believe that all rich people belong to the same one.
00:49:53It certainly does seem that way.
00:49:55Ah, thank you.
00:49:57There's Marjorie, birthday girl, guest of honor.
00:50:07Hi, Marge.
00:50:09Happy birthday, work it, girl.
00:50:12Oh, sorry.
00:50:18Nice crowd.
00:50:22I thought that was you, Megs.
00:50:25Randall, what a surprise.
00:50:27Oh, you're the surprise?
00:50:29You look great.
00:50:30I, uh, thought you'd look more depressed.
00:50:33That's my point.
00:50:34Joke stealer.
00:50:35Actually, no, I've never been happier.
00:50:38And free.
00:50:39Free of these schedules, plummeting stock now that Megan Moore isn't at the helm.
00:50:43Frank, help me watch the stock market.
00:50:44Good job.
00:50:45Well, every stock has a down day.
00:50:47And where have I heard that before?
00:50:49Randy, firing my sister was a big mistake.
00:50:53Epic.
00:50:53You and the board might think you're flying high, but you aren't.
00:50:57You want to know why Megan looks so great?
00:50:58She's got the wind beneath her wings.
00:51:00What is this nonsense?
00:51:02It's called a clap back.
00:51:03Don't try to keep up.
00:51:05If you'll excuse me, I'll be, uh, taking my leave.
00:51:09Perfect.
00:51:10My work is done here.
00:51:13Hmm.
00:51:14Izzy, that was incredible.
00:51:16You, you really had my back just then.
00:51:19Why do you sound so surprised?
00:51:20Well, I, I don't know, I, I haven't exactly always or maybe even ever been there for you
00:51:27in sisterly backup moments like that.
00:51:29Better late than never.
00:51:30Let's celebrate.
00:51:32Can we get some lemon drop shots?
00:51:34No, it sounds awful.
00:51:35That's what everyone says at first.
00:51:36Do not be fooled by their cuteness.
00:51:55They're smart and wily creatures.
00:51:56I never even knew you liked dogs.
00:51:59But you know we had a dog before you were born, right?
00:52:03You did?
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:05Well, he was mostly dad's dog.
00:52:07It's Gus.
00:52:07He was a basset hound.
00:52:08Why am I just hearing about this?
00:52:10I can't believe mom never talks about Gus.
00:52:12Or dad.
00:52:13She's just worried what Ken will think.
00:52:15And I think she's probably very sad.
00:52:17What was Gus like?
00:52:18Oh, he was the very best.
00:52:21He was obsessed with the mailman.
00:52:23He had these velvet ears.
00:52:24Past gas, it would clear a room.
00:52:27He sounds perfect.
00:52:28He really was.
00:52:30I remember when he died, he told me the story about how Gus had crossed over to the other
00:52:35side of the Rainbow Bridge and how he was playing with puppies on the other side.
00:52:39I wasn't really sure if I bought it, to be honest with you, but I could tell it made
00:52:44dad feel better, so I went along with it.
00:52:46That's sweet.
00:52:47I wish I had more memories with dad like you do.
00:52:52Hey, you know I'd love to talk with you about that stuff like any time, right?
00:52:56I'm really glad we're doing this, you know, hanging out as sisters.
00:53:01Me too.
00:53:04Hey, do you remember that time I went roller skating?
00:53:06Oh, how could I forget?
00:53:08You taught me everything I know.
00:53:09I remember being so nervous for Leslie Parker's roller derby themed party.
00:53:13And then look at me, I crushed seventh grade.
00:53:15Pretty much a big deal now.
00:53:17I don't know what I would have done if you didn't teach me how to stop.
00:53:21Guess who Troy Graves and his moolah want to meet with tomorrow?
00:53:25Cute.
00:53:25Oh, that is the best news.
00:53:28I told him all about your sister Fixer project.
00:53:30He loves this idea of a crowdsourcing decisions app.
00:53:33Oh, that's fantastic.
00:53:34I mean, I'm still very much in, you know, the strategy and development phase, but it is
00:53:38going so well.
00:53:40I mean, the change in Izzy's life has been unreal.
00:53:42And that's what the money people like to hear.
00:53:44Go do this.
00:53:45It's my finder's fee on the line.
00:53:46And it's my second chance.
00:53:48Thank you, Yuki.
00:53:52Yes!
00:53:53Oh, okay.
00:53:57Got it, got it, got it.
00:54:01Right, right, right, right.
00:54:03Okay.
00:54:03So, we've been talking about the five steps of the psychology of change.
00:54:22Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance.
00:54:28Now, while the steps sound like a steady forward progression, the model actually represents
00:54:34a spiral because individuals are individual.
00:54:40Each marches to the beat of their own drummer.
00:54:43Recycling through the steps is often the rule, not the exception.
00:54:49Okay.
00:54:50Read chapters 14 to 18 by next class.
00:54:52Have a great weekend, everyone.
00:55:04Auditing my intro into psych class.
00:55:06Yeah, a little bit.
00:55:07Something you said actually stuck with me.
00:55:10Do you worry that Izzy's, you know, kind of destined to cycle back through the stages of
00:55:16change?
00:55:17Well, do you?
00:55:18Kind of.
00:55:19I mean, think about it.
00:55:21Historically, she's been a pretty...
00:55:22Wait, you're doing that thing.
00:55:24You're doing that thing where you're going to make me answer my own questions again.
00:55:26I'm not falling for it.
00:55:28Hey, I actually have some news.
00:55:32I have a meeting with a startup investor tomorrow.
00:55:34Wow, congrats.
00:55:36That's fantastic.
00:55:38Funny enough, Izzy M Inc. actually gets the credit.
00:55:41But the concept is life coached by committee.
00:55:44So, you know, in an app format.
00:55:46And what does Izzy think?
00:55:47Oh, I mean, we're still in the talking concept stage.
00:55:50Let her know when there's something to know.
00:55:52A heads up wouldn't hurt.
00:55:54It's early, you know.
00:55:55I don't want to jinx anything.
00:55:57Besides, if it goes forward, I'd involve her in the development process.
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:02Sister, sister win.
00:56:03Well, if you think so.
00:56:04But I think Izzy's in this for the sisterly bonding.
00:56:07Not the business.
00:56:08You know, the emotional connection.
00:56:09She thinks this is real.
00:56:12It is real.
00:56:13We walked rescue dogs the other day.
00:56:15It was a very bonding moment.
00:56:19Thanks again.
00:56:20No more drinks.
00:56:21Thanks.
00:56:22You, um, no, you could have returned this at the next board meeting.
00:56:25Oh, I was in the neighborhood.
00:56:27By way of many other totally unrelated neighborhoods.
00:56:32Are you free for dinner tonight?
00:56:34Yeah, what were you thinking?
00:56:36Oh, there's a fantastic little gourmet market near your place.
00:56:38Oh, nice.
00:56:40You want to have dinner at a grocery store?
00:56:43Not quite.
00:56:47You did throw me there for a minute.
00:56:49I like to keep you on your toes.
00:56:53Lois gave me that pan as a gift for Christmas last year.
00:56:56Cannot wait to tell her someone used it.
00:56:58I take you don't cook?
00:56:59Oh, I realized after I left the schedule that there's kind of a lot of things that I don't
00:57:04do.
00:57:05Yeah, I don't cook.
00:57:06I don't meditate.
00:57:07Don't really date.
00:57:10That's, um, Lois doesn't teach you any beloved family recipes?
00:57:13Oh, no, she definitely did.
00:57:14They all just start with a can of soup or some tater tots.
00:57:18Not that I blame her.
00:57:19She was pretty busy.
00:57:21She had her hands full raising Izzy and I by herself after her dad died in a heart attack.
00:57:27Um, sorry, that's, that's brutal.
00:57:30Yeah.
00:57:31Look.
00:57:34Dad.
00:57:37He looks like a good guy.
00:57:39Oh, the best.
00:57:39Like, best, best guy.
00:57:45My mom gave me this, so I'll always have him close to my heart.
00:57:49It's nice.
00:57:50It's kind of crazy to think about that just overnight Lois was a single working mom of
00:57:54an incredibly willful toddler and a very grumpy dad.
00:57:58I remember being just so mad.
00:58:01I was so, so mad that my dad had died.
00:58:03What a stupid reaction, right?
00:58:05Uh, seems like a totally normal adolescent reaction.
00:58:08Yeah, I remember just kind of wanting to push everyone away.
00:58:12It just seemed easier somehow.
00:58:15And save her?
00:58:16Yeah.
00:58:17I didn't want to talk about it.
00:58:19I figured it wouldn't change anything.
00:58:20I remember kind of pretending to process everything.
00:58:24I wanted them to think I had everything under control.
00:58:28Wanted to think that you could work these out your own way.
00:58:30Self-reliance is kind of my superpower.
00:58:32Because you like doing things on your own.
00:58:35Put it this way.
00:58:36I was already away at college when my mom met Ken.
00:58:39And Izzy was still in grade school.
00:58:41So they formed their own little family unit.
00:58:43And I forged my own path.
00:58:44And an impressive path, that is.
00:58:48You know, it's, um, not too late to befriend your mom.
00:58:52You know, tell her how you feel.
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:55I don't know.
00:58:57I don't know.
00:58:57This is so good.
00:59:01What did you put on the chicken?
00:59:03Don't you think I didn't notice you just changed the subject?
00:59:06Well, I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know.
00:59:10Lemon zest.
00:59:12But the secret?
00:59:14I think it's a little bit of paprika.
00:59:16Really?
00:59:17Mm-hmm.
00:59:17I mean, you've cooked everything.
00:59:21You didn't have to wash the dishes as well.
00:59:23Oh, look.
00:59:24I'm an overachiever.
00:59:25I do like that about you.
00:59:28Well, um, goodnight.
00:59:30Night.
00:59:34Before I forget.
00:59:34I've been nervous about you.
00:59:43Are you making a move?
00:59:48Good night.
00:59:48And I'm starting to doubt you.
00:59:52Don't ask me to choose.
00:59:56Going and going and going.
01:00:02And so I told Miller, I'll eat you alive for lunch
01:00:04if you mess with my performance compensation
01:00:06with your soft hurdle rates.
01:00:09Actually, I'll order for myself.
01:00:11I've got it.
01:00:12You just keep bringing the gorgeous.
01:00:13You bring another fresh round of drinks.
01:00:16Mm.
01:00:18I looked up your sis.
01:00:20High net worth.
01:00:22Does she need a financial advisor?
01:00:23You know, you never actually ask about my life.
01:00:29Uh, sure.
01:00:30Can you ask your sister if she needs a financial advisor?
01:00:48Are you still using the schedule?
01:00:50Oh, yeah.
01:00:51I like the structure and order.
01:00:53Yeah.
01:00:53Really?
01:00:54Yeah.
01:00:55I, um, I texted you.
01:00:58You didn't text back.
01:00:59Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:01:00Um, about the other night, I had a really lovely time.
01:01:03But, um, it was unprofessional.
01:01:05It's totally against the board of director bylaws.
01:01:08You know those bylaws are made up, right?
01:01:09Yeah, by me.
01:01:10I take them very seriously.
01:01:12Do you ever not get too much inside your own head?
01:01:14What?
01:01:16My head, my rules.
01:01:17I officially call this meeting to order.
01:01:19Curtis, uh, no old business today.
01:01:22Quick agenda.
01:01:23New business only.
01:01:24I want to dump Carson.
01:01:26I motioned we do that or whatever.
01:01:28Huh?
01:01:28I told you so.
01:01:29I told you.
01:01:30I thought you liked Carson.
01:01:31You never did.
01:01:32Why do you want me to?
01:01:33It's a valuable performance metric.
01:01:34Well, that's not really a way to describe someone.
01:01:36Do you guys know that Mondays happen every week?
01:01:38Like, every week.
01:01:39They just keep happening.
01:01:41You know, when I show up to the art gallery at 9 a.m.
01:01:43and my life is just a constant snooze button
01:01:45and I answer boring phone calls
01:01:46and I have a boring day
01:01:47and I scroll boring social media.
01:01:49I'm sorry, Jill.
01:01:50That is true.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52And then meanwhile,
01:01:53all my friends are just, you know,
01:01:54living their best lives,
01:01:55crashing yacht parties
01:01:56and getting sunburned at music festivals
01:01:57and just making questionable decisions.
01:01:59Really cool things that I am not allowed to do.
01:02:02Okay, Izzy, those are just future regrets.
01:02:04Well, my past future regrets were good stories.
01:02:07Okay?
01:02:08Not like fixing a shower.
01:02:10Fixing a shower?
01:02:11I'm so lost.
01:02:13Day one, we all agreed
01:02:14to keep Izzy's best interest front and center.
01:02:17So, let's open discussions on Izzy's proposals.
01:02:20These are not proposals.
01:02:21These are complaints.
01:02:22Either way, we debate the pros and cons
01:02:24and put things to a vote.
01:02:26Robert's rules of order, right?
01:02:27Great, which we will do when we reconvene,
01:02:30but I have to go because I have an appointment.
01:02:32No, no.
01:02:33What kind of appointment?
01:02:34There's nothing on your calendar.
01:02:36It's an emergency to Root Canal.
01:02:38I will see you when we reconvene on Monday.
01:02:40I mean, does it hurt?
01:02:42Who wears a chic wide-legged pantsuit to a Root Canal?
01:02:46My father is still stuck in the fossil fuels of last century.
01:02:49Well, Mr. Graves, those fossil fuels got you some pretty sweet office space.
01:02:53I think the future is connectivity.
01:02:55I agree.
01:02:56I am all about in-person connectivity.
01:02:58No, no, no, no.
01:02:58Like, connecting through our phones.
01:03:02Yuki said you're spearheading a whole-life transformation for your own sister.
01:03:06How does that work, exactly?
01:03:08Drawing upon my time at Bescheduled,
01:03:10I assembled a skilled board of directors.
01:03:13The mission?
01:03:14A total reorg of Izzy's life.
01:03:16No, committees were formed to impact every bucket of her life.
01:03:20Career, relationship, appearance.
01:03:23And the same can be true for subscribers to our app using their contacts.
01:03:27Wow.
01:03:28Hi.
01:03:34Hi.
01:03:36Please.
01:03:41You're a regular here?
01:03:43No, not really.
01:03:45Just kind of seemed like a good idea.
01:03:47Neutral territory.
01:03:49Um, about the other day, I'm sorry.
01:03:53Yeah, me too.
01:03:54I, um, I shouldn't say what I did.
01:03:56About getting so much in my own head?
01:03:58Yeah, like, I totally understand.
01:04:00I'm a complete head case, you know.
01:04:02Sorry.
01:04:03Hold on one second.
01:04:04Yeah.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:05Hi, this is Megan.
01:04:08What?
01:04:09The police?
01:04:12Yes.
01:04:12Yes, of course.
01:04:13I will be right there.
01:04:14Bye.
01:04:15That was Izzy's apartment manager.
01:04:17Apparently, she threw a little party.
01:04:19Ah, well, it sounds like a good one if the cops were called.
01:04:24Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:04:27No, no, no, not the throw pillows.
01:04:33Hello?
01:04:34Come on in.
01:04:39Izzy!
01:04:41What?
01:04:41What has happened here?
01:04:43A party.
01:04:44Yes, I can see that.
01:04:46Who, who is this?
01:04:47Oh, I'm Woody.
01:04:48It's short for Woody.
01:04:50Street art ex-con.
01:04:51Um, I can hear you.
01:04:53And then I told you I was done with Carson.
01:04:55I couldn't listen to one more word about arbitration or gross exposure.
01:04:58So you thought you'd just throw a little soiree to celebrate your newfound singlehood?
01:05:01Actually, no.
01:05:02This is to celebrate that I quit my gallery job.
01:05:06Without consulting anyone on the board, Izzy, you agreed.
01:05:10This was your idea.
01:05:12And then you invited your weird friends over to trash your apartment.
01:05:14This has been so hard, Meg.
01:05:17Izzy, once again, you have made a gigantic mess.
01:05:21And you just expect someone else to come in and clean it up.
01:05:24I thought that you had changed.
01:05:25Whoa, just wait a second.
01:05:36What?
01:05:36Don't you think you're being just a little hard on Izzy?
01:05:39Izzy is backsliding or regressing or whatever the term is.
01:05:42All of our hard work, poof, it's gone.
01:05:45Maybe Izzy's just being true to her own nature.
01:05:48Well, yeah.
01:05:48So then what was the point of this entire experiment?
01:05:51Granted, this whole thing was a life makeover for Izzy, but you know it's become bigger than that.
01:05:56Do you want to get some dinner?
01:05:57I can cook.
01:05:58We can talk some more.
01:05:59I'm sorry.
01:06:00I just don't feel like I'm very good company right now.
01:06:03Do you want to be okay if we talked after the next meeting?
01:06:05Yeah, of course.
01:06:08We can wait until then.
01:06:23Oh!
01:06:23Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
01:06:27Okay.
01:06:29Hi.
01:06:29Hi.
01:06:30So, uh, what happened?
01:06:33Troy wants to jump right into the analysis and planning stage of app development with you
01:06:37taking charge.
01:06:38His lawyers are already talking finances and budget.
01:06:42Wow!
01:06:42I mean, that is, that is, that's just really fast.
01:06:46You know, I haven't even had a chance to tell Izzy about this yet.
01:06:49Well, you better fill her in or the press release will.
01:06:51Okay, um, Yuki, I feel like maybe I should probably tell you that the Izzy M ink experiment
01:06:57kind of, kind of imploded.
01:06:59Nope, not listening.
01:07:00I don't want to hear how the inspiration for the app is a dud.
01:07:03Be psyched, girl boss.
01:07:04New chapter.
01:07:05All right.
01:07:07New chapter.
01:07:08Thanks.
01:07:08Hey, guys.
01:07:11So, uh, before we start, I have news and, uh, it's kind of big, so, uh, I'm just suddenly
01:07:20feeling like I've missed something.
01:07:22What's going on?
01:07:23Izzy?
01:07:25Izzy, what is happening?
01:07:28What?
01:07:28How could you betray me like this?
01:07:31What?
01:07:33Curtis, what?
01:07:34She doesn't know, does she?
01:07:36I'll do the honors.
01:07:39Entrepreneur Troy Graves is partnering with startup hotshot Megan Moore to develop a revolutionary
01:07:44life coach by committee app.
01:07:47Quote, Megan brings unprecedented skill to the creation of this product just as she did
01:07:51with her unorthodox approach of applying the principles of business to successfully overhaul
01:07:57her own sister's life.
01:07:58Press release goes on the list.
01:08:00Some examples of how the art can capitalize on them.
01:08:04And they use Izzy's full name, too, which is wrong.
01:08:07You guys, I very much understand that this looks really bad, but please let me explain.
01:08:13The press release was really not supposed to come out this soon.
01:08:17Should not have mentioned you.
01:08:18But listen, when I tell you about this, you're going to be excited.
01:08:21Excited?
01:08:22Yeah.
01:08:22No, you used me.
01:08:23Izzy, I'm ink.
01:08:25This board, the whole thing was just for your own career resuscitation.
01:08:30No, not even close.
01:08:34Izzy, the whole investor thing of it all, that started after we began.
01:08:39This has always been about helping you.
01:08:41Helping me or helping me become you.
01:08:45My whole life, I looked up to perfect Megan, but she didn't even know I was there.
01:08:51I just got left behind.
01:08:52I was left behind.
01:08:56You always had Mom.
01:08:58You had Ken.
01:08:58You know, Mom would always say that, oh, we don't got to worry about Megan.
01:09:01She's got a good head on her shoulders.
01:09:03Oh, really?
01:09:04Mom said that?
01:09:04Yeah.
01:09:05Figures.
01:09:06Yeah.
01:09:06And what does that mean for me, huh?
01:09:08That I'm the screw-up?
01:09:10Because maybe I should just own it.
01:09:12Izzy, I had no idea.
01:09:14Of course not.
01:09:15Because up until a few months ago, we barely spoke.
01:09:19Are you embarrassed of me?
01:09:21No.
01:09:22No.
01:09:23Because I thought that this whole experiment would bring us together and make me more like
01:09:29you and that I would fit more into your bubble and, like, you would like me.
01:09:34Of course I like you.
01:09:35Who wouldn't like you?
01:09:36Yeah, but you know what I learned through all this?
01:09:39I might be a disaster, but I'm a happy disaster.
01:09:43Megan, all you care about is being perfect and on schedule and making sure you have everything
01:09:49right.
01:09:49But you don't even know what happiness feels like.
01:09:54But I know that doesn't really matter to you because, um, you're on top now as a big
01:09:59CEO.
01:10:02What does it matter about the casualties along the way?
01:10:04I do love to design your bargain.
01:10:17Megan, oh, is this the sample sale?
01:10:22Oh.
01:10:24Patsy, what are you doing here?
01:10:27Frank?
01:10:28Megan, what is going on?
01:10:30Izzy can fill you in.
01:10:32Mom.
01:10:33And, uh, I reside.
01:10:35Effective immediately.
01:10:37So, um, Curtis, maybe you...
01:10:39Maybe you...
01:10:40Right.
01:10:50Megan.
01:10:51Oh, sweetheart.
01:10:56Come on.
01:10:56It's okay.
01:10:57It's okay.
01:10:57It's okay.
01:10:58It's okay.
01:10:59It's okay.
01:11:00It's okay.
01:11:01It's okay.
01:11:02It's okay.
01:11:04Is he?
01:11:21I tried to stay mad, but my mom wisely said, to err is human.
01:11:27To forgive, divine.
01:11:29I don't think Beverly can...
01:11:30Oh, she sent over a fresh batch of booch?
01:11:34Come on.
01:11:39I, uh, really screwed up, didn't I?
01:11:43Pretty much.
01:11:44So what happened after I left?
01:11:46Board's dissolved.
01:11:47Experiment over.
01:11:49I did get to hang out with Lois, though.
01:11:51I can't believe she didn't try to take over.
01:11:54It's, uh, kind of Lois's M.O.
01:11:56Izzy didn't want her to.
01:11:57Oh, man, I just, I'm really messed up with Izzy.
01:12:01I have no idea how to make this up to her.
01:12:03Can't help you there.
01:12:04Hmm.
01:12:06Hey, um, I have some other kind of bad news, which is that I, I decided not to take Troy
01:12:16Graves' money.
01:12:17It just didn't feel like the right thing to do anymore.
01:12:19I, I'm sorry.
01:12:20Oh, I wasn't coming with you anyway.
01:12:23What?
01:12:24What?
01:12:24Why not?
01:12:25You weren't the only one secretly taking meetings.
01:12:28Curtis!
01:12:29I got a social media job at the Initiator Press.
01:12:33You're, that's wonderful.
01:12:36I'm so happy for you.
01:12:40Good job, Curtis.
01:12:41So, what are you gonna do?
01:12:48I don't know.
01:12:52But you know what?
01:12:53I am overdue doing this.
01:12:58Bye-bye, bescheduled.
01:13:01Izzy's right.
01:13:02I, I am the tragic one.
01:13:04I've been so busy trying to have control over absolutely everything that I, I haven't been
01:13:09living.
01:13:10Well, like my mom always says, you need to go find your smile.
01:13:14Curtis, your mom.
01:13:19Curtis, your mom's right.
01:13:20She always is.
01:13:24Yeah.
01:13:29We should have told you, mom.
01:13:32Well, I knew something was going on.
01:13:34I call it mom tuition.
01:13:36Right.
01:13:37Believe me, I was happy that you girls were spending time together, but I didn't know you
01:13:41formed a corporation.
01:13:43We're having board meetings.
01:13:44Which is a very clever idea, actually.
01:13:49I'm just a little sad you didn't want me to be a part of it.
01:13:52I'm sorry, mom.
01:13:53I am.
01:13:54I do know what it feels like to be excluded.
01:13:56Honey, I never meant for you to feel left out of the family.
01:14:00You just always seemed like you didn't need us.
01:14:03That's not true.
01:14:06Megan, you're so together.
01:14:09Whereas Izzy is...
01:14:11Izzy.
01:14:12I know.
01:14:14And I know how you must have thought I was plain favorites, but I love each of my girls
01:14:23equally.
01:14:25Thank you, mom.
01:14:27I, uh...
01:14:28Yeah, I think I actually did need to hear that, so...
01:14:33I'm...
01:14:36I miss dad.
01:14:39I do, too.
01:14:40And by the way, I do know that you were just doing the best you could with Izzy.
01:14:46I get that now.
01:14:47And you were doing the best you could with your board of directors thing.
01:14:52Yes.
01:14:52But really, I think I was just trying to become a version of you, just swoop in, try to fix
01:14:56everything, and...
01:14:58Well, we're fixers no more, because little baby bird Izzy has blown the nest.
01:15:03Really?
01:15:03Yeah.
01:15:03She's still not really speaking to me.
01:15:07Well, I told her you weren't doing the app anymore, but she does still have that voodoo
01:15:11doll in her bedroom.
01:15:14Looks remarkably like you, actually.
01:15:16She's very talented when she's mad.
01:15:19She did sign up for a yoga teacher training course, and she's studying to get her esthetician
01:15:26license.
01:15:27She did pass ear piercing.
01:15:28Wow.
01:15:30She's giving herself options, but she's very smart.
01:15:32Yeah.
01:15:33And she missed her friends in that nutty home she was in before.
01:15:37So she negotiated herself out of that new apartment lease if she promised to clean it
01:15:42up, and she did.
01:15:44Wow.
01:15:44Woody helped her paint, and your art friend Dominic, he fixed a cabinet door.
01:15:50God, he was so handy, that man.
01:15:52Mm-hmm.
01:15:53I didn't realize that Izzy and Dominic were still in touch.
01:15:56Yeah.
01:15:57Seems so.
01:15:58Izzy said the whole board is still friends.
01:16:02That's good.
01:16:04And Izzy is not getting back together with Woody.
01:16:09After the whole Carson thing, she decided to go boy sober for a while.
01:16:13Well, and she's dating herself.
01:16:16Like, that's gonna get me grandchildren.
01:16:18Mom, I'm kidding.
01:16:20I can joke, you know.
01:16:22Oh, I know.
01:16:23Oh, look at this.
01:16:29She looks great.
01:16:31Well, yes, but look, her feet aren't on my couch.
01:16:34She's found her own path.
01:16:37About time.
01:16:37Hey, I was thinking, after this, we could maybe go on a mother-daughter bonding experience.
01:16:50Oh, you look beautiful.
01:17:07Thank you, Mom.
01:17:08Yeah.
01:17:08Okay.
01:17:11You know, there's so many other ways to have champagne.
01:17:14For example, we could go somewhere and I could buy you some.
01:17:17Please let me live out my fantasy of being mother of the bride.
01:17:21Okay, fine.
01:17:24Oh.
01:17:25All right.
01:17:25All right.
01:17:26You got me.
01:17:27I admit it.
01:17:28I guess this is kind of fun.
01:17:30Only because of how weirdly happy it makes you.
01:17:34You know, I really like that Dominic fella.
01:17:38Yeah, I really did, too.
01:17:40It's just one of the many things I've screwed up lately.
01:17:42Hey, Mom.
01:17:48I'm having an idea about Izzy and her upcoming birthday.
01:17:50It involves getting the gang back together and a whole lot of apologizing slash explaining that I have to do.
01:17:56Keep it, keep, keep, keep, keep,.
01:18:06Keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep, keep.
01:18:09Don't let me talk to you, keep, keep, keep!
01:18:42Okay. Dad, where are we?
01:18:46Here we go. Okay.
01:18:50Surprise!
01:18:56You guys, this is better than anything we could ask for.
01:18:59Oh, it wasn't us. It was all Megan.
01:19:02Happy birthday, isn't it? Happy birthday!
01:19:06Happy birthday!
01:19:10I can't believe them!
01:19:14Hey, happy 30 it is.
01:19:18What are you doing here?
01:19:20What's up? Happy birthday!
01:19:22Oh my goodness, hi!
01:19:26Happy birthday!
01:19:28Hi!
01:19:30Hi.
01:19:32Hey.
01:19:34I know you love a party.
01:19:36This just seemed a lot more, you know, like you, surprises and all.
01:19:42I owe you a really big apology.
01:19:44I do.
01:19:46Because I...
01:19:48I tried to change you and I absolutely never should have done that.
01:19:52I think you have the biggest heart.
01:19:56And, uh...
01:19:58I just hope that there's still room in it for me.
01:20:02Uh, well, I did come to you asking for my life to be transformed before my 30th birthday.
01:20:12And it is.
01:20:14Just, maybe not the way either of us imagined.
01:20:16Right.
01:20:18I hope you know that you changed my life, too.
01:20:20Oh, yes, I know. You don't have a big stick up here.
01:20:22I was gonna say I learned to live a little.
01:20:24Mm-hmm.
01:20:26I love it just the way you are.
01:20:29I love you.
01:20:32Okay.
01:20:34Can we have lemon drop shots now?
01:20:36Yes.
01:20:38Let's invite mom.
01:20:40Oh!
01:20:41Okay.
01:20:42All right.
01:20:43Bring it in.
01:20:44Cheers, guys.
01:20:45Happy birthday.
01:20:46Happy birthday, girls.
01:20:51I'm just so proud of my girls.
01:20:53Even though it wasn't a very conventional route to family togetherness.
01:20:57Has anything about this family ever been conventional?
01:21:00I don't know.
01:21:01Now that you mention it, no.
01:21:02You ladies keep me on my toes.
01:21:04I've been traded for the world.
01:21:06You and I were special.
01:21:11So I have this credit card now, and it gives you 2% back.
01:21:14You spend the money, and then they give you some money back.
01:21:16I'm like, what?
01:21:17I'm gonna save that money.
01:21:18I'm gonna take it.
01:21:19I'm gonna use it to go to Peru.
01:21:20I'm gonna see these llamas.
01:21:21I'm gonna sleep with the llamas.
01:21:22You know what?
01:21:23There's so much to share with you.
01:21:24I'll tell you back at the house, okay?
01:21:25Bye, Rumi.
01:21:26Hey.
01:21:27Oh, hi.
01:21:28Hey.
01:21:29So, uh, I invited Dominic.
01:21:31I was sure he would show up for you.
01:21:33Oh, he has shown.
01:21:35But I think it's for you.
01:21:36What?
01:21:38Happy Birthdays.
01:21:39Oh, thanks.
01:21:42Sorry, I'm late.
01:21:44My, uh, schedule's been all screwy this week.
01:21:46I had to switch lectures with a colleague.
01:21:47Of course.
01:21:48I just didn't think you were coming.
01:21:50You miss this?
01:21:51Never.
01:21:54I made a mistake.
01:21:55You warned me.
01:21:56And I didn't listen.
01:21:57I think you saved your time.
01:21:59So you're not mad?
01:22:00It wasn't in my place to be mad at you.
01:22:02I was always the independent director on Izzy's board.
01:22:07I'm sorry I went so hot and cold, and then I pushed you away.
01:22:10Just a terrible force of habit.
01:22:12I know.
01:22:13And now?
01:22:14Come with me.
01:22:15You know, I never really understood that John Lennon quote.
01:22:29I think it's from when he was young, and they were asking him what he wanted to be when
01:22:32he grew up, and he said, I just want to be happy.
01:22:35I think I get it now.
01:22:39Goldie Hawn said that.
01:22:40No, she didn't.
01:22:41She did.
01:22:43It's okay.
01:22:48So, what's next?
01:22:50Uh, it seems like we're dancing.
01:22:52I meant with work.
01:22:53Oh, well.
01:22:54I'm going to partner with Curtis and his mom and take her kombucha brand nationwide.
01:23:00And then what?
01:23:02I don't know.
01:23:03I just want to be in good company.
01:23:33We got friends.
01:23:36You had been untrue.
01:23:40Oh, but I did not believe them.
01:23:45Until I watched in on you.
01:23:49I wish you only walked in need.
