02:23I'm dressed in a

02:34I'm not dressed in a
02:36Shirt
02:39Not a per什麼
02:42And now
02:45Read
02:51Finish
03:23You
03:53You
04:00My dress
04:23You
04:39Ready to do this. I already told you I was
04:42Okay, why do you look so depressed then? I'm not depressed
04:46Just don't feel great that we're rerecording this track without
04:50Brooklyn here. I've done this a million times
04:53I know I just I feel bad for what Brooklyn and chase are going through. I know I know and it is
04:59It's really sad what Brooklyn's going through with her with her father-in-law
05:02But I mean we'd already booked a studio time and paid for it and Brooklyn wouldn't want us to waste it
05:06So and it's not like either one of us knew
05:11Professor chase chase Gregory chase, right?
05:16Look if you can't dial up the energy, there's no point in us being here. I mean what happened
05:20Did you stay up with too late last night? No
05:24Okay
05:25Well, then, I don't know
05:27Maybe you can borrow some energy from Christina when she decides to grace us with her presence
05:31Just hope that her being late isn't already gonna be a distraction
05:35She's not coming
05:38Sorry, I forgot I
05:40Meant to tell you
05:42Well forgiven, you know, I I'm the one who needs forgiving but not from you from home
05:49Christina I
05:52Said something to her sister. I had no business sharing and now Christina and I might be over
05:57honey, I'm
06:00Well, maybe I'm sorry
06:02Honey, everybody's been through a big heartbreak and that it's horrible
06:07Thank you
06:09Just nothing lasts forever. I mean no matter how much we want it to just it just doesn't especially relationships
06:16That Christina and I were gonna last
06:19I
06:20Felt like we had a real chance
06:22well
06:24If your hope is lost, then what you still have is your pride
06:29That you're enormous talents and you've got your passion for your music and that that should be enough to get us through this session today
06:39Oh, hey, hi
06:41You ready for battle? It's my lawyer uniform. Oh here. I know it's early
06:47But I called the office and they said you were in court today
06:50So I figured you might have some continuance or I don't know some other
06:54Lawyer timeout and I might be able to buy you a snack. Oh
06:58That's so sweet. But my my calendars back-to-back. I'm gonna be in court all day. Oh, well, that's okay. I don't mind waiting
07:06Since when?
07:07You're terrible at waiting. Ha ha
07:10Fine with it. I have things to do for the Corinthians Davis house when it picks back up again, and it's nice and
07:17Quiet here. It's totally fine
07:19Okay
07:21Well, just don't be mad at me if I'm in there a long time. It is going to be a while
07:25Promise I will not be mad at you
07:27Is there something specific you wanted to talk about? No, just you know, I thought it'd be nice for us to have some sister time
07:35Yeah, okay great, well if you get tired of waiting and you want to go just no worries
07:41I can always catch up with you later. Yeah, it's totally fine. All good. Okay
07:54Thank you all for coming today my father wished to be returned to the earth and we're all here today to honor that wish
08:02My dad had a good life and
08:06While we wish it would have been longer the time that he did have was filled with love
08:12family laughter joy and meaning
08:16The disease he bore so bravely can't steal anything more from him
08:21You know, I never thought of my dad as a particularly religious person, but I found this prayer on his nightstand
08:28He was using it as a bookmark. I
08:31Thought it'd be a good way to start
08:39This is Psalm 121 I
08:43Will lift up my eyes unto the hills from once come with my help
08:48My help cometh from the Lord
08:50Which made heaven and earth he will not suffer thy foot to be moved
08:55He that keepeth thee will not slumber
08:58Behold
09:00He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep
09:03The Lord is thy keeper. The Lord is thy shade upon the right hand
09:07The Sun shall not smite thee by day nor the moon by night
09:11The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil
09:15He shall preserve thy soul the Lord shall preserve thy going out and I coming in from this time forth
09:23and even forevermore
09:27I
09:34Don't know how many of you know, this is my dad's favorite spots
09:38And it is fitting that he become
09:41Part of a place that brought him so much joy and contentment
09:48Used to sit here
09:51Yeah
09:52That's right, sweetheart. My dad would come up here and he would
09:57read to Violet
09:59even when the walk became
10:02challenging he would
10:03still make the climb even though
10:06For him was probably a lot like
10:08Mount Everest would be for us
10:11And you'll be surprised to know that he was not open to offers of assistance
10:18When it got to be too much
10:20Chase and I told him that we'd help get him up here and then we'd wait from him and Violet at the bottom
10:28My dad said no
10:30The climb meant as much as getting to the top
10:34And I was so worried about him physically that uh, I wasn't quite sure what he was saying
10:40But I do now
10:43It drives home the point that I will
10:46I'll never be as wise as my father
10:50All the people that matter most to my dad are are here
10:54So I thought I'd open it up if anybody would like to say anything there's there's no pressure
11:01But I thought the hole that my dad left in our lives might feel a little less empty if we fill it with memories
11:07stories that we share together
11:13And the minute I met Gregory there was just
11:17Something about him
11:19He took me in under his father umbrella and I didn't even know it was happening I
11:24Felt like I could tell him anything and I did
11:28Probably things he didn't want to know
11:31but he always just listened and he never judged me and sometimes he would respond in words and
11:39Sometimes it would be with just a hug or a smile
11:44But I knew he always
11:47Understood exactly what I was trying to say
11:50and that
11:52understanding and support I
11:55Will forever take with me
11:59And now that I
12:00know that kind of
12:03Kindness and compassion and wisdom like his is possible in a person all wrapped up into one
12:12I'm not gonna settle for anything less
12:17Thank you both for sharing your dad with me with all of us
12:30In between my time as a lawyer and most recently as a journalist
12:36I've met a lot of people that have endured hardship
12:40And I've considered those people to be very inspiring
12:43But after meeting Gregory, I realized that I had to redefine
12:47inspiring
12:49Because to call ALS a hardship
12:52It's just wrong
12:54It's minimizing and it's patronizing and it's a not-so-secret code for
13:02Thank God, it's not me
13:06It's a devastating disease and it takes resolve
13:10And Gregory had resolve Wow, I
13:14Mean to watch him reject
13:16All the limitations that the doctors put on him was so impressive
13:21It was also a lesson to me because it made me very
13:25Well aware of my limitations that I put on my life that I'm so lucky to have
13:31we all are
13:33there is
13:35No one on the face of the earth that could have ever convinced me to jump out of a plane
13:42Except for your father and we did it
13:47Get a big mad passionate kiss
13:51At the end and that's something that I get to have forever
13:55Do you know about that how would I know about that I don't know but I don't know
14:01Do you know about that how would I know about that I
14:04Don't know that. I would have tried to get my law license back. If not for great. In fact, I know that I wouldn't have
14:11and
14:12Even if my efforts didn't pay off Gregory made me see
14:17Then even when you're doomed to lose
14:21You try
14:25That's the triumph
14:31I uh, I wish I could say I learned forgiveness from my dad. I
14:36Should have
14:38God knows he forgave me for all my transgressions
14:42And I will forever hold him in my heart as an example of the kind of man
14:47that I want to be and I am
14:50Already sorry for all the ways. I know I'm gonna fall short
14:55Sorry dad it took me so long to
14:58Become the son you deserved
15:01I had a great example of that
15:06It just took me too long to learn it
15:18Gregory did not suffer fools
15:22He once told his son in front of me
15:26Not to value the opinion of snobs I
15:29Was the snob and I was being foolish and I regret it deeply
15:36You know as
15:39time marches on
15:41The missed opportunities in life loom larger and larger
15:45the things we might have done the things we might have been the weight of
15:51Questions never asked it all just gets heavier. I
15:55I don't have a lot of regrets. I don't really believe in them, but Gregory was a great friend to me
16:05But
16:09He was also a missed opportunity
16:13If I'd known him sooner longer better
16:20Would he have been
16:25I don't get to know
16:30So you might be asking yourselves right now, what is the moral of this story
16:36And it's that if an opportunity doesn't present itself
16:43Make one because contrary to conventional wisdom you can miss
16:51What you didn't have
17:05The warm-up
17:07Brooklyn I coming. I know she had a death in the family. I'm sorry to hear that. How's she doing?
17:13She's really sad. She's I'm Natalia. I'm blazes business manager. Nice to meet you
17:18You know Brooklyn and blaze are always welcome here. I was just surprised to see that they were redoing these tracks
17:23Why is that?
17:25Because I didn't think that blazes single needed any more improvement. You know, she nailed every moment every note
17:32I thought it came together really well. Yeah, I heard the I heard the single as well
17:37So I just think that maybe we can
17:41Implement some of these notes that I made in the next couple of weeks
17:45Implement some of these notes that I made in the next couple of tracks and let's just see if we can't make it better
17:51I think of Gregory
17:53as
17:54magical
17:56Almost like a wizard
17:59First of all, he created my wonderful husband
18:03Man, I still can't believe is real
18:08Then he stood up in a church and gave chase to me
18:15So many words
18:17You know sometimes life
18:19makes us feel like
18:21There's no such thing as magic
18:23And it isn't real
18:25Because of gregory. I know that it is
18:28That it's real
18:29and a life filled with
18:32just a little bit of magic is
18:34More than anything I could have hoped for
18:41I don't know if ghosts are real but
18:44I found this poem that my grandpa used to read to me and I knew all of the words by heart
18:50I don't know how it happened. But this is the last poem my grandpa read to me
19:00It's not always easy it's not always fair
19:03Some notes will be widened. Sometimes you'll get scared
19:07But trying new things is the best way to see
19:10How wide and wonderful this world can be?
19:14I hope you're happy grandpa
19:20My father was a good man
19:23A strong man and a gentle man
19:25In all the ways that mattered. It's probably going to be a long time before I can live up to his example
19:32But the thing is he wouldn't mind
19:36He thought that finn and I and people in general were just fine and in no need of improvement
19:43He did think violet was perfect probably because she is
19:49I think the most upset I ever got that my dad is when he called himself ordinary. I remember thinking what?
19:57Ordinary it took me until just now to realize what he meant
20:03Ordinary is what we're meant to be
20:07We shouldn't feel like we're better than someone else or worse
20:11We shouldn't think that our problems are so special that nobody could possibly understand or relate
20:18We're supposed to find something remarkable in every single person that we meet
20:28If I could be ordinary like my dad
20:34I'd be extraordinary
20:40So
21:10So
21:27Michelin innovates on the road and far your words earlier and i'm so sorry
21:33It was a really nice memorial and I think that gregory
21:37Would have been pleased
21:40I know I may not act like it all the time, but um, I know how lucky I am to have you
21:45Love you so much. Thank you
21:49I love you, too. Not toss that back. What why would either of us do that?
21:53because
21:54gregory once
21:56Talked me into doing a shot with him. So I thought
21:59we should
22:01Do one in his honor
22:03Well in that case to gregory to gregory
22:06Oh
22:09I am certainly awake now racing. Oh
22:15How's chase
22:19I guess he's as fine as he can be, you know, his sadness is healthy and normal. Just another reminder
22:25How sane and steady he is?
22:27Well, at least one of us should experience that in our lifetime
22:32Yeah, it's his brother. I'm really worried about
22:36Finn seems pretty much the same subdued sad but coping. I don't know
22:42Chase and I were thinking that maybe violet can come stay with us or at the q house for a little while, you know give
22:49Finn some time to grieve without worrying that it's gonna upset violet
22:53They're both grieving
22:55I don't think finn is going to want to be separated from violet. She's as much comfort to him as he is to her
23:03It was heartfelt it was simple and your father would be so proud of you
23:06Thank you. Yeah chase did a
23:09A great job if of all of my dad's books and papers, he he found the ones that that meant the most to him
23:16He's a good son. Yeah
23:18So are you
23:21You know how much he loved you, right
23:25And if you feel like going to a meeting
23:28I'll take you with me
23:29I appreciate that
23:31but spending time with violet is
23:34It's my only priority right now
23:38Hey, what's the story with you and my dad and your embrace on a windswept tarmac
23:46You and my dad have a romance I didn't know about
23:58Next to you
24:01Is the
24:04It's a
24:09It's a
24:15It's a
24:23It's a
24:34You
24:49Nothing
24:50It's me i'm off. I just need a minute
24:53Because you reach out to brooklyn. No, she's not available. I told you we don't need her for this
24:59just
25:00I mean, we don't want to bother her for this. Let's just
25:02Take 12 tracks for the drums on this next take and then we'll go again. Okay
25:11Honey what do you need water or a tea some throat spray? No, it's okay. I don't need anything. Well, you do clearly need something
25:18I'm, just not feeling the music. I can't find a way in
25:21Okay. Well, then you're gonna have to fall back on your discipline and training. That's what professionals do
25:27I feel like a fraud
25:29I'm sitting here singing a song about love and every word that's coming out of my mouth is a lie
25:34And if i'm feeling that way everyone else will hear it in my voice
25:40Okay, do you want me to call christina and see if she might come by after all
25:48That's okay
25:50She knows i'm recording today if christina wanted to come
25:55She would have shown up a while ago
25:58I'm sure she still feels too hurt and betrayed to be around me
26:08Sorry that judge loves the sound of his own voice so I knew it was gonna be a long morning. No, it's okay
26:14You did warn me besides i'm the one who just showed up and took a risk
26:19So can I take you for a quick lunch?
26:22I wish I could but I have a staff meeting
26:26Okay
26:27Is everything okay?
26:29Yeah
26:30Yeah, you good. Yeah. Good. Yeah. How are you and tj?
26:35Busy
26:36a lot of hellos and goodbyes and passing these days, but what else is new
26:42that sounds
26:43Not great. Yeah
26:46Yeah, it is
26:47not great
26:49um, so
26:50I gotta I gotta get to a staff meeting
26:52But you didn't even ask me about the baby, I know you want to know of course how is the baby
26:58Anything new to report?
27:00No, everything is good and moving along exactly as it's supposed to
27:05Good
27:07Yeah
27:08okay, the only thing that
27:10that actually is new is
27:13I know
27:14Allie told you about what happened after the wedding and
27:18Well, you're standing you're pretending like you don't know anything about them
27:23New beneful incredibites serve a little joy in every bite beneful gives them big taste just for small dogs
27:29It's obvious you didn't want me to know what went down at the wedding because you didn't say a single word to me about it
27:34I'd still be completely in the dark if I hadn't run into allie and she hadn't made one innocent remark that I picked up
27:39On and pressed her about and even then all she would say was that
27:42You and the baby were fine. And even that I had to drag out of her
27:45She's probably never going to speak to me again after the interrogation. I put her through collie's very forgiving. Yeah, so is tj
27:52Probably the only reason we're still in our respective relationships
27:55But look if the topic of my own baby has to be off limits to keep you happy then so be it
28:02I will honor your wishes for a few more months. No matter how obnoxious and unfair. I think that is molly
28:07That's not what I said, and that isn't what I want
28:10look, I
28:12I get easily defensive, but that's not news. No
28:15It isn't you've had some version of this conversation hundreds of times. How could I not be defensive?
28:21Molly, look at you. You are my perfect overachieving sister effect
28:25We're in this situation because I can't reproduce
28:28Basic fundamental human process and I can't do it. So maybe adjust your definition of perfect. Just stop it
28:34You have had to rescue me from bad decisions countless times along with so many other people in our family
28:39So yeah, I get defensive sometimes. Okay, okay
28:43Let's not conduct a review of every decision we've made in our entire lifetimes
28:49I am and I will eternally be grateful to you for this thing. You're doing mostly for me
28:56and
28:58I can't wait till the baby's here
28:59And we can just argue about who spoils them the most and who's being too tough
29:05Well, I think we already know the answer to both those questions might surprise each other
29:11Honey just tell me what happened with you and christina
29:15No, it's okay getting into it with her sister was my first mistake telling you anything about it can only make things worse
29:21What is this it that shall not be named nothing? Okay, and don't get it out of mr. Corinthos, please
29:28Just don't well, what would I even ask him about? What does he have to do with it? You know what i'm ready. Let's do it again
29:36As my business manager would say
29:38Time is money. Yes, you would say that but not not right the second
29:41Look, I know as painful as this situation is with christina
29:46I i'm just hoping that now you'll start to understand
29:50That these relationships aren't real
29:56What relationship relationships like the one that you have with christina
30:00My relationship with christina is real. Thank you. Was it or was it infatuation because we can all respond
30:08Warmly
30:11To somebody who admires us
30:13I know the difference between fans and stalkers and
30:17regular people maybe
30:19or
30:20Maybe christina really wanted that image of you that she saw on stage and you misconstrued it as love
30:26If I was half as gullible as you make me sound my portfolio would have nothing but magic beans in it
30:32I'm the one who manages your portfolio
30:34with me
30:36What two people do in the privacy of their hotel room
30:39That's their own business as long as there's some mutual respect and nobody gets hurt, but do not tell yourself that that is love
30:46Okay. Now you're making me angry
30:48And that's not an energy that we need on this single
30:51So if you could go back into the studio and let me find my inner professional before our time is up
30:55It's a mother's job to tell her child her truths, please
31:00Go
31:06Yeah
31:08Your dad had every quality I should look for in men
31:13He was funny
31:15And he was so smart
31:17And he was so authentic
31:19Not many guys like that running around in the wild. So why didn't you move forward?
31:25Because I was too chicken to take a risk. That doesn't sound like you. Oh, yes. It does when it comes to my personal life
31:32Oh, I think that I was just too cowardly to fall in love with a man I knew was dying
31:39Hi holden up you ready to go home i've been ready
31:44Tracy's taking care of everything, but I feel like I should stay
31:47But if you want to go you no way i'm not leaving you
31:51I love you so much
31:53I hope you don't get sick of hearing that it's not possible
31:56I didn't know
31:58That our wedding night would be the last time that i'd see my father
32:01And it made me realize that we don't know when our last moments will come
32:06So every time I walk away from you, I am going to tell you how much I love you and how much I always will
32:17You seem a lot more settled today the memorial health, yeah, I did I
32:24I feel more settled
32:27Although sometimes I worry i've gotten so good at pretending that I might be fooling myself
32:39My lindor bar is the only
32:56You
33:27You
33:38Um
33:56You
34:27You
34:34Tracy thank you for arranging all of this. It meant a lot to be together
34:39And I think it helps my heart hurt a little bit less
34:42I think so, too
34:44Bye boys. Bye
34:49Chase
34:50Thank you for
34:52Being you back at you
34:54We're family it's what we do
34:58Hey, I think um finn had to take a phone call or something
35:01Can you guys just let him know that i'll call him later? Yeah, no problem. All right. See you soon. Bye. Bye
35:09I hope finn wasn't called in for work
35:13My heart breaks for her, yeah me too i'm gonna go look for finn, okay
35:20Hey
35:22Hey, sweetie, can I get you something maybe a cookie or a shirley temple?
35:27No, i'm, okay. My grandpa says
35:30Whenever you wish you were somewhere else just read a book
35:33Grandpa's right. Come let's take a look
35:50You
