00:00One, two, three.
00:02Previously on My Big Fat Fabulous Life.
00:05One, two.
00:06The inspiration for my 40th birthday trip is flamenco.
00:11I want to do something crazy, so we're all going to go to Spain.
00:14Wow, OK.
00:15So when is the organizing going to be done
00:18so I can go back into the house?
00:20There's a lot of work over there, Dad.
00:22As soon as my brother and I learned that my dad wanted
00:24to sell the house, we immediately
00:26tried to scheme ways to incentivize him to not do that.
00:29The solution is to reno the downstairs bedroom.
00:32So he doesn't know?
00:33No, no.
00:35But yeah, Glenn Thor is not allowed in the house.
00:36OK.
00:37Send me over the best photos that you've
00:39had taken of yourself over the last year.
00:42So I took my friend's advice, and I found a matchmaker.
00:44I don't know if I have a lot of really good ones
00:47that really look like me now.
00:48Book a photo shoot.
00:50I am determined to find my husband in my fourth decade.
00:54Yes, baby!
00:56Are we considering doing anything maybe fully nude?
00:59Shut up, mom!
01:01All right, get naked.
01:02I just need like one, yeah, girl, you look great.
01:05And then I'm like, cool, let's do it.
01:07Oh my word.
01:08Yes.
01:09Ooh, y'all.
01:09Oh my god.
01:26OK, let's go.
01:42Oh, we're already going.
01:43Isn't this dancing supposed to be hard?
01:45Like, you gotta judge.
01:46I have no clue what this is supposed to be.
01:48I'm just.
01:49Are you warm?
01:49No, and I thought.
01:50Well, you're coming in hot.
01:51One of my New Year's resolutions
01:52was to get out of the house and go dancing with Todd.
01:55So we signed up for flamenco.
01:56And I loved moving my body.
01:58So I want to now move my body in lots of ways.
02:02Wait, I'm nervous.
02:04Five, six, seven, eight, take it up.
02:08I found an African fusion class at the Cultural Arts Center.
02:11And when I was 15, I took some African classes.
02:14And I loved them.
02:16I do realize that that's been 25 years now, which is scary.
02:20But I'm also the lightest I've been in like over a decade.
02:24So I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens.
02:29Five, six, seven, eight, and two.
02:34Back, front, back, five, six, seven, eight, take it up.
02:40Hey, take it up.
02:42Take it up.
02:44Five, six, seven, eight, and one.
02:50Hey.
02:52Yay.
02:54We're Whitney and Todd.
02:55Thank you for having us.
02:56I'm already out of breath.
02:59So glad that you are here.
03:00Thank you for coming to class.
03:02Lamuz Afroblends Community Dance class.
03:04I teach Afrofusion.
03:06Awesome.
03:07Just have fun.
03:08Stop me if you need to have a question asked.
03:12No problem.
03:13Yeah.
03:14So y'all ready?
03:15Yeah.
03:15Awesome.
03:16All right.
03:17Oh, oh, and I forgot.
03:18I am Sister Amakle.
03:20Nice to meet you.
03:23All right, so the first thing I always say,
03:26love what you see in the mirror.
03:27OK?
03:28All right, now, just have fun.
03:30Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, here we go.
03:34Five, six, seven, eight.
03:36One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one, two.
03:43Even though I'm an experienced dancer,
03:45trying a style that's unfamiliar is still intimidating.
03:49And to be honest, I feel like almost everything
03:51is intimidating to me these days.
03:53I'm really proud of myself for upholding my New Year's
03:55resolution and getting out of the house
03:57and trying new things.
03:58It's something that I think is really important for me
04:01in this new phase of my life.
04:03And I don't want to just shield myself
04:05from disappointments anymore.
04:07I want to live, you know?
04:10It's a slightly new concept, but I'm going for it.
04:13All right, from the top, and five, six, seven, eight.
04:17One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and one,
04:22two, three, four, and five, five, ah, dah, dah.
04:29There's something about doing something that you haven't done
04:32or doing something new and doing something novel
04:34and how it connects with your body and how it makes you feel.
04:39And ultimately, it makes me feel good, young, sexy, vibrant.
04:44I love it all.
04:45I want you to sit back.
04:47I want you to sit back.
04:52I want you to sit back.
04:54I want you to sit back.
04:56Afrofusion.
04:58We enjoyed it.
04:59We loved it.
04:59Yes.
05:00We appreciate it.
05:01All right, have a good night, you guys.
05:03Y'all too.
05:04Unlike flamenco, which was slower and sensuous
05:10and a little methodical, this Afrofusion class
05:13was a bit more of a cardio workout, but I feel good.
05:18No, I loved that.
05:20And I like flamenco too.
05:21I don't know which one I like better,
05:23but too bad we're going to Spain, not Africa.
05:25I can do the dance better in the flamenco.
05:27But tell me I'm not the only one that's tired.
05:29Wait, is this because we're 40, though, or is this because?
05:32Well, it's because I haven't practiced.
05:34Well, that's what I'm saying.
05:35This isn't like all just because we're 40.
05:36No, like if I've been practicing,
05:38I'm sure I would have been.
05:39Because the people I know who are 40 and haven't
05:41But also, you can't have been practicing the whole time
05:43because those people have injuries.
05:45They're like, their bodies have fallen apart,
05:46and they've been practicing too much.
05:48We are at an advantage.
05:49Guy in the stretch zone said that I was above average
05:53flexibility for a 40-year-old.
05:54Did you really think you were not going
05:55to be above average flexibility?
05:57Do you want to know if I can say the same for you?
05:58Well, I fell down the stairs yesterday,
05:59and I came in here and did all this, so.
06:01Is my butt getting smaller?
06:02I think your butt gets smaller.
06:03No, I don't like that.
06:04Or did my back just get smaller?
06:05I don't like that at all.
06:07Wait, what part of me got smaller?
06:09I don't like that.
06:09What's wrong with my butt?
06:11It's expansive.
06:11Stop it.
06:12Left to right.
06:13So, for Spain, because we're not going
06:14to have another episode of what had happened last year.
06:19Last year.
06:20Last year was when you had to leave because of the tacos.
06:22We had a birthday fiasco last year over the taco meat,
06:26and I really just don't want to repeat.
06:29I just want to enjoy our birthday.
06:32Where do you want me to set that?
06:33It's for you.
06:34On my birthday, you're going to give me a food
06:35that I have literally never had a single one of in my life.
06:37It's my birthday.
06:39Did you think this was your birthday?
06:40Why would we have just a your birthday party
06:42when my birthday is the next day?
06:44Are you leaving?
06:45I gotta go.
06:45You're leaving?
06:46Yeah, I mean, this wasn't meant for me anyway,
06:47so it didn't matter.
06:48I have really needed this trip after the,
06:54I was going to say the year that I've had,
06:55but it has been like my entire life that I've had.
06:57I don't know.
06:58And I think it's just something that we've all really needed
07:01and we're all really looking forward to.
07:03There's some details that we have to figure out.
07:05So, I'm willing to call this a joint birthday party.
07:09You're willing?
07:10If, it's on conditions, if,
07:14I mean, the whole trip is like the party,
07:16but I want to have like on the last night,
07:19like kind of a designated party.
07:21I'm thinking like beachfront.
07:23I'm thinking candles.
07:24I'm thinking-
07:25Volleyball net.
07:27Well, I wasn't really thinking that.
07:29I want to actually perform.
07:30At the party?
07:31At our own party?
07:32Yes, we'll perform.
07:33That's like having a wedding
07:34and singing at your own wedding.
07:35Yeah, that's so fun.
07:35So, we'll perform, but basically,
07:37so you have to, I've already found flamenco clubs
07:40in, in Malaga.
07:42Hey everybody, come to our party.
07:43We're going to dance for you.
07:44Exactly, exactly.
07:46And cheer.
07:47Exactly.
07:48I'm not allowing it to be a joint birthday
07:50if you don't perform.
07:52Are you performing?
07:54Well, I guess.
07:55If you get up there to perform,
07:55I would obviously be too jealous.
07:58Okay.
07:59Another goal for my birthday this year
08:00is to not have a repeat of last year.
08:02I want everybody to get along.
08:04I want everyone to enjoy the food.
08:06And if Todd agrees to perform,
08:10then I'll agree to not serve tacos.
08:13Wait, can I get closer to this?
08:15That was kind of fun.
08:16If I wasn't a f****** walrus,
08:19I literally am walrus.
08:21You're going to beach up on the pole?
08:22Yeah, I'm trying to.
08:25Skid, skid, skid, skid, skid, skid,
08:26squiggle and squirm.
08:27How do you do it?
08:28Am I close?
08:29Those who can't squirm don't deserve any sperm.
08:30That might be close enough.
08:32Ow.
08:33While you take, while you keep on,
08:34increase your squirm.
08:35I cannot get there anymore.
08:36That's all I can do.
08:38Oh, my back is sweating.
08:39I'm sweating.
08:40Oh, all right, well.
08:42Where's my feet?
08:43Oh, give me a minute.
08:44Ow!
08:45All right, well.
08:47Oh my God, I've created a pool.
08:50Yes, I'll tell her.
08:51I'll tell her.
08:51They said you're going to need to mop that up
08:53before you leave.
08:54Oh!
08:58Ugh.
09:00Hi, Ritt, that is no cats allowed.
09:02Turn your fat ass around.
09:04Sir?
09:05Sir?
09:07You know, the cats are walking in the room right now.
09:09Is the door not shut?
09:10No.
09:11Todd, get them out!
09:12No!
09:14No, Hunter!
09:16I've been working on remodeling the downstairs bedroom
09:19for a couple of weeks now,
09:20and I have a feeling that I'm going to need
09:23a little bit more time to get used to it.
09:25I'm going to need a little bit more time
09:26to get used to it.
09:27I'm going to need a little bit more time
09:28and I am exhausted.
09:30It has taken a lot to manage all of the details,
09:35not to mention the energy it requires
09:37to keep Glen Thor off the premises.
09:40Hunter, what other cat is in here?
09:42So I'm really excited that one way or another,
09:45it's about to be over.
09:46And one thing about my family is that
09:48we have always loved to play tricks on each other,
09:51and I am dying because we are expecting my dad
09:55to arrive at any minute to check on the progress
09:58that we've done in the garage.
10:01Dad's here!
10:02Dad's here!
10:03Okay, I'm going to go down there.
10:05When I get down there, open the doors.
10:07Okay.
10:09Okay.
10:09He's going to be pissed when he sees this garage.
10:11I'm really nervous because I have put in a lot of time
10:15and energy and money into this project.
10:18And if my dad does not love it,
10:20then there is no possibility that he will reconsider
10:24selling the house.
10:27Okay, okay, okay, okay.
10:28Doors, doors, doors, doors, doors.
10:31Here, Todd, Todd, Todd, Todd.
10:40Wow.
10:41Ta-da!
10:46Do you like what we've done?
10:50Well, you haven't done anything.
10:54I mean, look at all this space right here.
10:56We've done.
10:57Well, that's the car was here, I mean.
10:59How many trash bags do you think we hauled out of here?
11:0018?
11:01At least 20.
11:02Dad.
11:04Well, you didn't even sweep the floor.
11:09Whitney has a real knack for cleaning and organizing things,
11:14but something has gone awry here in the garage
11:17because this is not her best work.
11:20I mean, I was really expecting a lot more.
11:22Well, that's because we were splitting our time, actually.
11:24We had other concurrent projects going on.
11:27We'll be happy to show you the other thing we're working on
11:29if you would like to see it.
11:30Well, I think anything will be better than what I see here.
11:34Fine.
11:35All right.
11:36Let's go to the second stage.
11:38Todd, bring him in in 30 seconds.
11:41Come on, Goose.
11:42We gotta show Daddy.
11:44Good girl.
11:45Come on.
11:52This is unbelievable.
11:55Okay, so nobody freak out.
11:57Oh, no.
11:58Please, let me take a sip.
12:00I love the start of this.
12:01Yes, keep going.
12:02I may have met someone.
12:07Really?
12:16Come on, Goose.
12:17We gotta show Daddy.
12:23Wow.
12:27Well, I can see why you didn't do something in the garage
12:30because you spent all your time in here.
12:31This is unbelievable.
12:33Look how wonderful this is.
12:36Unbelievable.
12:38You would not know this room from where it was
12:41if you didn't see it.
12:42You would not know this room from where it was
12:46a few weeks ago.
12:47Last time I saw it, it was a junk room.
12:51Wow.
12:54Well, I should have known that you were gonna have
12:56a surprise like this.
12:58This wall is beautiful.
12:59Now, look at the ceiling.
13:00Do you recognize this pattern?
13:02This is Mommy's chairs in different color.
13:06Boy, she would have been so thrilled with this.
13:07That's what I thought.
13:08I thought Mommy would have liked it.
13:10Well, I mean, you tried to get us to come down the stairs
13:13and if it looked like this,
13:14we'd have come downstairs for sure.
13:19I am stunned at how wonderful this room looks.
13:23All the little things that Whitney has put on the shelves
13:28that remind us of things in the past.
13:30I mean, those touches that she added to the room
13:34really makes it not only feel like home,
13:36but brings back some wonderful memories.
13:38Now, make your way into this beautiful bathroom.
13:41As you'll see, new tile, new paint, new wallpaper,
13:45new mirror, light fixtures.
13:47Well, this is beautiful.
13:48Okay, moving on.
13:49I love this paint here.
13:51The wallpaper and the paint?
13:52Yeah.
13:53Yeah.
13:55The name of this bar is Mommy's Margaritas,
13:58as you can see, and it is open 24-7, 365.
14:01Are you having a margarita with your mom?
14:02That's my 21st birthday, when we had a margarita together.
14:06If my dad were to sleep in this room and open his eyes,
14:10my goal would be that in every turn of everything he did,
14:14I just want it to be paved with beautiful memories
14:18that make him feel good.
14:20As much as I was disappointed in the garage,
14:23this is wonderful.
14:25Wow, wow, wow.
14:28Well, I was hoping that if you could see the potential
14:32with a little bit of work and a whole lot of money,
14:34the house could come alive again.
14:36Oh, yeah.
14:37So we're hoping that maybe we don't...
14:40Have to sell it. Sell it.
14:42Well, you know, I've been thinking about that,
14:45and sometimes you get in that mindset of,
14:50you know, you need to downsize,
14:52and it's just too much to take care of,
14:54all that kind of stuff,
14:55but something like this brings back all the memories,
14:59the sentimental value.
15:00I mean, in fact, I think we'll just hold on to it
15:03until you guys decide what you want to do with it
15:06when I'm gone.
15:08No, stop.
15:11You're not selling the house.
15:12No, no.
15:16This home is actually not our childhood home.
15:19We moved into this house when I was 17.
15:32This was our dream home,
15:34and for the past 24 years,
15:35we have been making so many memories
15:37as a family in this home,
15:39and it feels like my mom,
15:41and you can't recreate that anywhere else.
15:46You bought the animal.
15:48We're gonna turn into a shelter.
15:49We got cats, and turtles, and dogs.
15:52Now we have pigs.
15:55Oh my God, he's out, he's out, he's out.
15:57Alistair.
15:59And I truly believe that my mom
16:01would want me to be a steward of this house
16:04and to restore it and make it beautiful
16:06and take care of it,
16:08so I am thrilled that my dad is not selling
16:12because every time I come here,
16:14it just, it feels like home,
16:17and that means a lot to me.
16:19This room is too wonderful not to use,
16:22so I can move in here tomorrow.
16:24Well, don't you feel good leaving to go on a trip
16:26knowing that this beautiful room
16:27could await you when you return?
16:29Exactly.
16:30Well, I love you.
16:31I'm glad you like it.
16:33I love you, too.
16:34Thank you so much.
16:35You know, all those memories,
16:37all the years that we've spent at this house,
16:39this is, you know, really our home,
16:42and I am so excited to move back in.
16:44The only thing that disappoints me
16:47is that Babs is not here to see this.
16:49Wanna go back home?
16:51Do we have to go back through the garage?
16:53No.
16:54No.
16:55No.
16:56No.
16:56No.
16:57No.
16:58No.
16:59No.
17:00No.
17:01No.
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:04Camels actually originated in North America.
17:06I didn't know that.
17:07They crossed a land bridge, something,
17:08and now we think of them as being, like, you know, Arabian.
17:11Right, right.
17:12They're actually American.
17:13Why do I learn about animals whenever I'm with you guys?
17:14Because I know everything about animals.
17:16And you gotta know this.
17:17That's crazy.
17:18You know, you about to travel,
17:19you wanna know about the local flora and the fauna.
17:21So.
17:21This is cute.
17:22Now, I will say, it is a little early.
17:25I feel like it's not primetime man-meeting,
17:27but, oh, well, I'm still doing my homework.
17:28I don't care.
17:29I'm really excited to have met the matchmaker
17:31and done a photo shoot and everything to go on my portfolio
17:35and somehow I feel like I've already gotten the confidence
17:37to put myself out there a little bit more in life.
17:40So, I am meeting Karen and my brother
17:42for drinks at The Quarter.
17:44It's a new bar that's opened up in downtown Greensboro.
17:46My brother's bartending there and it's really cool.
17:50What's up?
17:51What's up?
17:52Hi.
17:53What you been doing?
17:53Yeah.
17:54Hanging out?
17:55Oh my God, is this a dog place?
17:56It is.
17:57So cute.
17:58Hey, I'm sorry.
17:58Can I, can I?
17:59Hi.
18:00You can say hello.
18:02She's a golden, she needs her emotional support hat.
18:04I understand that.
18:05Show her the hat.
18:06There you go.
18:07Hi, sweethearts.
18:08Oh my goodness.
18:09What's her name?
18:10Temperance.
18:11Temperance?
18:12How sweet is she?
18:13I'm Whitney Temperance and.
18:14Ian.
18:15Ian, nice to meet you.
18:16Good to meet you.
18:17Hey, pup.
18:18I have a poodle.
18:19If I'd known.
18:20Oh my goodness, hi.
18:20You didn't tell me this was a dog bar.
18:21We do whatever here.
18:23Well, you didn't tell me that I brought Goosey.
18:25Want to get a drink?
18:26Well, what's up?
18:27Yeah, well, I just, you know me,
18:28I just want a diet soda.
18:30Just a diet soda?
18:32You know how I do.
18:33What kind of whiskey you want in here?
18:34No.
18:35Where you want to sit, right here?
18:36Yeah, that's great.
18:37All right, it was really nice to meet you, Ian.
18:38It was great meeting you.
18:39As a certified elder millennial turned homebody,
18:42I was a bit reluctant to go meet Karen,
18:45like, in the outside world.
18:48How did I do?
18:48Great, holy cow.
18:49Really?
18:50Yeah.
18:51Well, it's just for practice.
18:52Yeah.
18:53I collect the wedding ring right away.
18:53Right, right, I saw that later on, I was like, oh.
18:56So I just.
18:57You were great.
18:57Was I?
18:58Yeah.
18:59Okay.
19:01My matchmaker said I'm supposed to talk about,
19:03you know, easy stuff, like dolls.
19:05I think that Alessandra, the matchmaker,
19:08she was on to something because it turns out
19:10that there are friendly men outside of the house.
19:14Diet Coke.
19:16Half whiskey.
19:17No, it's not.
19:20What's up?
19:21Hey.
19:23So what's going on?
19:24Okay, so nobody freak out.
19:26Oh no, please.
19:28Let me take a sip.
19:29I love the start of this.
19:30Yes, keep going.
19:31I may
19:35have met someone.
19:36Really?
19:37Yeah.
19:38Okay.
19:39Well, dates, let's go.
19:40Okay, so it's only been 24 hours, but mark my words,
19:42this could literally be the man I will marry.
19:46I know I sound insane.
19:47I know.
19:48But I was on social media, mindlessly scrolling
19:51at like four in the morning, and I see this account pop up,
19:53and I was like, who the fuck is this?
19:55I watched like two videos, and I was like,
19:57Whitney, this is your time.
19:59So I DM'd him.
20:00You slid in.
20:01I slid, I greased my body up,
20:05and I just slid right on in.
20:08And I just said, do you need a wife or nah?
20:14I love that.
20:15I was scrolling through social media the other day,
20:17and I happened upon this video of this guy
20:20doing extreme sports all over the internet,
20:22and I was so impressed, I asked him
20:24if he needed a wife, or nah.
20:29He responded immediately, so before I knew it,
20:32we were texting all night, and I'm insane,
20:36but for the first time since Avi,
20:40I had that feeling of like, am I gonna marry this man?
20:45I know that sounds insane, but you also know we all do it.
20:47Everyone does it.
20:48We all have that feeling sometimes.
20:50What was his response?
20:51His response.
20:53I'll let you read it.
20:56Hold on.
20:56Wait, Karen, you read me.
20:57You read him.
20:59All right, we're gonna do a scene.
21:00Do you need a wife or nah?
21:01I was pretty sure we were already married.
21:03Who's the actor here?
21:04In your dreams, yes, but I'm talking about reality.
21:08Oh, you know I've never been able to tell the difference.
21:11My dreams always become a reality,
21:12so I guess I'm headed your way.
21:14What's your ETA?
21:16I'm not around.
21:18No, you're not.
21:19So then, I give him my number.
21:21Wait, can I just see a picture?
21:22Yes, he is living it, he is doing it,
21:26so wait for more.
21:32Wow.
21:33I'll tell you what this is.
21:34This is fat excellence in motion.
21:37It is, 1,000%.
21:39This man is living his best life.
21:42Absolutely.
21:43I really have just caught a vibe,
21:45and I love that he's large and in charge
21:48and just living his life out loud,
21:51just being a general badass.
21:53That really is attractive to me,
21:55and I hope that no one else snags him
21:58before I get back from Spain.
22:00I gotta talk to you for real.
22:01Yeah.
22:02Have you told Dad that you're taking next steps?
22:06Next steps?
22:07With Cam?
22:08Getting married.
22:10We're a long-term thing, we have long-term goals.
22:13But do they include marriage?
22:14We both looked at each other and said,
22:16you know, that we love each other
22:17and we're in this forever and the long haul,
22:21but I mean, I get it, I understand he's excited,
22:25and whatever, but, you know,
22:30I'm driving this bus, you know what I mean?
22:32Right.
22:33Glenn Thorpe, he is gonna need to pump the brakes
22:35because I think that Hunter does know better
22:37than to steal my 40th birthday thunder
22:39and turn the Spain trip into an engagement trip.
22:42So, everybody just slow down.
22:45I'm trying to get this man so I can help shoulder the burden.
22:48Is this the end of days?
22:50Is that what's happening?
22:51Is the apocalypse upon us?
22:52Well, if I've done almost got me a man, then probably.
22:56I recently decided to do something different
22:58with counseling.
22:59Oh.
23:00I decided I'm gonna do an intensive outpatient program.
23:03Really?
23:04Yeah.
23:05I was starting to have really dark, hopeless thoughts.
23:08Wow.
23:10I didn't know it was that bad.
23:11Yeah.
23:12I'm so sorry.
23:29Oh my God.
23:30Are you on a skateboard?
23:32I'm trying.
23:35Spring has sprung in Greensboro,
23:37so when Tal asked if I wanted to go to the park,
23:40I was totally down.
23:41You wanna try next?
23:42No.
23:43I thought we were gonna be like walking,
23:44maybe some vigorous sitting and spilling the tea,
23:48and instead, I see Tal on a skateboard.
23:52Look at how you're just doing it, Tal.
23:54This would not qualify as doing it.
23:56Tal.
23:58You're doing something, and it looks good.
24:04I was doing it.
24:05Okay, you wanna know the truth about the skateboard?
24:07Well, there's been some interference from Glyn Thor.
24:09What do you mean?
24:10Well, he texted me.
24:12Oh my God.
24:13Yes, he did.
24:14Stop.
24:15He said, Tal, Hunter indicated to me
24:17that Whitney saw a guy online
24:19who she thinks is really cool.
24:22Oh my God.
24:23I did a little research
24:24and saw that he enjoys extreme sports.
24:27Could you take her to learn how to skateboard?
24:29You're joking.
24:30Apparently, after I went out
24:32with Hunter and Karen to the quarter,
24:33it got back to my dad somehow
24:35that there's a cute guy online who does extreme sports,
24:38so now Tal has to learn how to do an extreme sports,
24:41teach me how to do an extreme sports
24:43so that I can impress this guy who does extreme sports.
24:45I hate this.
24:46This needs to be tightened, don't it?
24:48What is it?
24:49Is this plus size?
24:50I hope so.
24:51It's extremely ridiculous.
24:54Wait, does this fit?
24:55These are too small.
24:57I have like a blood pressure cuff.
24:59Oh no.
24:59There you go.
25:00Oh no, it doesn't work.
25:01Oh no, it's not big enough.
25:03Is it?
25:04Oh yeah, it's not gonna go all the way.
25:07This is not even safe for me.
25:08Number one, the knee pads, the wrist pads,
25:10and the whatevers won't even fit on my body,
25:12so that should tell you something.
25:13Just gonna practice standing on it.
25:15You can't, Tal.
25:17No, Tal, it's not right.
25:18Tal, this is not right.
25:22It's like sort of like a balance board.
25:24Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
25:26You look like a pro.
25:27Okay, hold on, hold on.
25:28No, see, I don't have the right weight distribution.
25:30Look at me.
25:31I'm wrong on here.
25:32Hold on.
25:33I'm wrong on here.
25:34Well, just hold me until you're.
25:35No, no, no, no, no.
25:38I just got over my last sprained ankle,
25:42and that just happened from walking over a threshold.
25:43I don't think it's wise for me to be attempting this.
25:48No, oh, oh, no, no, Tal, Tal, no, Tal, Tal, Tal, Tal, no.
25:55Oh, God, Tal, Tal, Tal, Tal, Tal, Tal, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
26:02Oh, my God, no, no, no, no.
26:04I'm doing that, or are you?
26:05No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
26:08I'm doing that.
26:09No, it's too fast.
26:10No, it's too fast.
26:11This is too fast?
26:12No, no, ow, wait, oh.
26:16We moved.
26:17You stood up on it, and you moved.
26:21Is that the end of our first lesson?
26:23It's like, no, I already know.
26:25No, we're not breaking ankles today.
26:26I don't care if this man's into extreme sports.
26:29He can take me for who I am, or not take me at all.
26:33I appreciate the thought.
26:35Glenn is like, we have got to get her married.
26:38He's on a mission.
26:39Is that how his little simple mind works?
26:41If Whitney tells him she went skateboarding,
26:44he'll think she's cool.
26:45Who is this man that you were thinking is really cool?
26:49Everybody stop.
26:49I did say that I might marry him,
26:51but I had a day to cool down.
26:55The first thing I said to him, though,
26:56was do you need a wife?
26:58Coming in hot.
27:00This is a great example of Whitney being strong-willed
27:03in a really great way.
27:05I think we're too old to play games at this point,
27:08so this new, like, bold Whitney
27:10that's just putting it right out there
27:12and seeing if it sticks, I support it.
27:15I'm impressed that you were bold.
27:16I really did. You're taking chances.
27:18I really did.
27:19I came right at it.
27:23I am out here doing the work.
27:25I really am.
27:26I've been shocked at my ability
27:28to kind of put myself out there
27:32and make some very loose connections.
27:34That, in general, just gives me hope
27:36that there is a life beyond my French man.
27:40What nice flowers.
27:41This sunshine and blue sky is doing everything for me today.
27:45Oh, this is magical.
27:47Can I share something with you?
27:48What's that?
27:49I recently decided to do something different
27:51with counseling.
27:52You're switching jobs?
27:53No, not, like, professionally, like, for my own counseling.
27:56Oh.
27:57Yeah.
27:58I need to talk to Whitney about what I've been going through
28:01because she knows that I have had a hard time
28:03struggling with depression in the past,
28:06and it's not really something that I feel comfortable
28:09talking about so often.
28:11I have been going to weekly therapy for a long time now.
28:16Me too.
28:17And I just feel like the last couple of months,
28:20it hasn't really been enough
28:21because I have just been feeling more and more depressed.
28:26Like, getting up in the morning
28:28and just the thought of going to work.
28:30Like, half the time, I'm, like, sobbing before 8 a.m.
28:32and just feeling, like, extremely overwhelmed.
28:36So I decided to take some time away from work,
28:38and I'm gonna do an intensive outpatient program.
28:41Really?
28:41Yeah.
28:44Wow.
28:46I didn't know it was that bad.
28:47Yeah.
28:48I'm so sorry.
28:50I've been putting on a pretty brave face around everybody,
28:53but I've really been struggling pretty badly
28:55for months now.
28:57I was starting to have really dark, hopeless thoughts,
29:01and I felt so much relief once I decided
29:04to just invest in my own well-being.
29:07My therapist referred me to the place that I'm going.
29:09It's in Greensboro, and I'm starting soon.
29:12Aw.
29:13I love you.
29:14Love you.
29:17Tal has a lot on his plate, and always has,
29:19and really helps other people
29:21with their mental health constantly.
29:24So it's kinda not surprising to me
29:25that that could become a really heavy load at times.
29:29And I love that he has made this decision
29:32and really put himself first.
29:34I think it's amazing.
29:35Does that mean that you won't be able to come to Spain, or?
29:37Well, I'm gonna try to work out both,
29:39because I feel like that would be taking care of myself,
29:41because I really wanna be there with you and with everybody.
29:43I mean, this is your 40th.
29:44I'm so proud of you.
29:45I'll keep you posted.
29:47Maybe you'll be a new man.
29:48Well, I don't want you to be a new man.
29:50I just want you to be you.
29:51I wanna be new in some ways,
29:53and still keep the parts of me that are good.
29:55Like, I'm never gonna be a skateboarder.
29:56That's okay.
29:58I might keep practicing.
29:59You should.
30:00Yeah, come on.
30:01Try to roll.
30:02Go, go.
30:03Look at you changing.
30:03Oh my God.
30:04I was trying to change direction.
30:05Look at how you're changing direction.
30:06That's so good.
30:07It's not good.
30:08You gotta work.
30:10I found your mother's engagement ring.
30:12Why do you have this?
30:13Just in case Hunter might ask her to get engaged.
30:16This is my 40th birthday trip.
30:17I'm already in the midst of a midlife crisis,
30:19and if someone else gets engaged right in front of me,
30:22I will lose it.
30:23Ugh.
30:41Oh.
30:44A new outfit.
30:45What do you think about this thing?
30:47Well, I'm the one who bought it,
30:48so I believe I like it.
30:49Yeah.
30:50Are you getting a haircut, or are you going wild, man?
30:53I'm gonna go get a haircut tomorrow.
30:55Jessica told me that you did three pull-ups today.
30:58Yeah, and she's excited about Spain.
31:02Oh, well, I meant to tell you,
31:05I don't know if Tal's gonna be able to come.
31:06Why?
31:07Because he took FMLA from work
31:09and started an inpatient mental health treatment program.
31:14And he was looking forward to it so much.
31:15I know, he really was.
31:17But I have sent out everybody's flight information,
31:20and I will have binders.
31:22Do you know our flight number?
31:25No.
31:25Do you know what hotel we're staying in?
31:28Well, I mean, since you've taken over the binder,
31:30I don't have to worry about it.
31:32I know.
31:33I've done everything.
31:34I am always a little bit nervous pre-trip
31:37because I am the one that, like, books everything
31:41and plans everything and makes the binder.
31:43You know, I inherited that from Glen Thor not too long ago.
31:46And the only scheduling snafu
31:48that I can anticipate with the trip is Tal.
31:51If it turns out that he's not able to come,
31:55I'm honestly worried about what that could do
31:57to his mental health,
31:58and none of us will be there to, like, actively support him.
32:03Well, I found out that you were skateboarding with Tal.
32:06How did that go?
32:08I've got my sources.
32:10Do you think I'm stupid?
32:12I know that you're the one that masterminded it.
32:16But also, see, Dad,
32:16just because I was talking to some guy on the internet
32:18who does extreme sports
32:19doesn't mean I have to skateboard.
32:20You know what, I have other things
32:21that I can bring to the table.
32:23Yeah, that's probably not a good idea.
32:25I don't remember ever feeling this way
32:27about someone immediately,
32:28except for how I felt about Avi.
32:31Like, literally, before I even met Avi,
32:33I called my mom and said,
32:34mom, I just met the man I'm gonna marry.
32:35And we all know how that one turned out.
32:37He's right there.
32:38He's right there.
32:39He's right there outside.
32:41Really?
32:42Holy, yeah.
32:43Give me the camera.
32:44He's right there.
32:44I can see him.
32:46Oh, my God.
32:47Oh, my God.
32:49You get out first.
32:50I'm gonna film you.
32:51Get out first.
32:52Go.
32:53Go.
32:53Shouldn't you say sorry to me?
32:54Okay, this recording is ridiculous.
32:57You are what's ridiculous.
32:59So, you're still not going to
33:01give any explanation.
33:04Being humiliated is nuts, doesn't it?
33:17So, maybe it's not a good omen,
33:19but just talking to men is still something good, ultimately.
33:24And I, for one, am very proud of myself.
33:28Well, have you thought about anything special
33:29for your 40th birthday?
33:31Well, yes.
33:32We're gonna have a nice dinner,
33:34a flamenco performance, go to the beach.
33:38What do you think Hunter ought to get me?
33:39You know, it's hard to buy for you
33:42because you've got everything that you want.
33:46Not everything.
33:47I mean, material things.
33:48I mean, we can't buy you a guy off the internet.
33:52Well, I wouldn't pay.
33:54Any man that would make me pay, I wouldn't want.
33:56Well, I am hopeful that you're gonna find
34:00somebody that you really like.
34:03For you and Hunter to find your love interest
34:06and be really happy is, you know.
34:09I know that's all you're living for.
34:11Well, I found this.
34:14Your mother's engagement ring.
34:16Dad, this, no, mm-mm.
34:18Why do you have this?
34:20Well, just in case Hunter gets to the point
34:23he might ask her to get married, maybe get engaged.
34:26If he does, then you'll have a ring to give her.
34:29My mother never wore her engagement ring
34:31from my father, actually.
34:32She only wore her wedding bands.
34:33And so she was always putting this ring aside
34:36for Hunter to give to his future fiance.
34:40And honestly, I would totally support
34:42Hunter giving it to Karen.
34:43I'm with it.
34:44But not if that's not what Hunter and Karen want.
34:47Well, you don't think he's gonna think
34:49to take it with him, do you?
34:52No, and I think that that's his business.
34:57Just being prepared.
34:59Karen, from the day that we met her at the premiere,
35:02has really fit into our family.
35:06But the most important person in that equation is Hunter.
35:09And it's time to start thinking about getting engaged,
35:13I think, and I'm not sure they're on the same timeline
35:18that I am, but I want the boo on to the next level.
35:24I think you need to put that back where you found it.
35:26But wouldn't it be nice if he said,
35:28now, I wish I had this ring with me, and we'd say-
35:30Dad, I don't think, I don't-
35:32And we'd say, well, by the way-
35:35We wouldn't say anything.
35:36We are not part of this.
35:37I'm not part of this.
35:39You're not lumping me in on this.
35:40Let's put out the boundaries.
35:42Hunter's allowed to get married,
35:43but not on my birthday trip.
35:45I'm not planning it on this trip.
35:46Dad, you literally are trying to bring an engagement ring.
35:49What do you mean you're not planning it on this trip?
35:52Engagement is not getting married.
35:54Can I have my 40th birthday,
35:55and Hunter and Karen can get engaged
35:57at some other juncture in time?
35:58Okay.
36:00This is my 40th birthday trip.
36:01I'm already in the midst of a midlife crisis,
36:03and if someone else gets engaged right in front of me,
36:06I will lose it.
36:07I will lose it.
36:10Well, I love the clothes.
36:12Where's the ring box?
36:14I got it in my pocket.
36:14I'm gonna go put it up.
36:18Y'all wanna see my pics?
36:19Yes, we do.
36:21What's on the lens?
36:22My panties.
36:23Oh.
36:25The nudes, Lord, help me, Lord.
36:27I don't know where I get the confidence.
36:29Oh my gosh.
36:30Oh my gosh.
36:32But it ain't right.
36:38Hello?
36:40Whitney?
36:42Yeah?
36:43Hi.
36:44Hey, Goose.
36:46Is it Uncle Tal?
36:47She was coming to me, and then she went away.
36:49Oh, she thinks you're gonna go throw a toy.
36:50Oh, I'm so sorry to disappoint you.
36:53Goosey?
36:54I've been working so hard on doing my homework
36:57for the matchmaker, so Tal is gonna be
36:59the matchmaker, and I'm gonna be the matchmaker.
37:02I'm gonna be the matchmaker,
37:03and I'm gonna be the matchmaker.
37:05I've been working so hard on doing my homework
37:07for the matchmaker, so Tal has come over
37:10to help me look through some of the proofs
37:12that the photographer sent me,
37:13so that I can decide which ones I want her to edit,
37:15and then eventually include them
37:17in my matchmaking portfolio.
37:19How are you?
37:20I'm good, how are you?
37:21I'm okay.
37:21Good.
37:22Yeah.
37:23I'm also very eager to catch up with Tal,
37:25to see how he's doing,
37:26and hopefully lift his spirits a bit.
37:28I need to cuddle.
37:29Come here.
37:30Are you getting excited for Spain?
37:32Yeah.
37:33I hope I can go to Spain,
37:34but I need to leave from work to do treatment, and...
37:37I don't know, I would be shocked
37:38if that's gonna actually be an issue.
37:39Well, you know me, I'm anxious,
37:40and I'm a rule follower.
37:41That's true.
37:42But I called HR just to be sure,
37:43and I'm waiting for them to call me back.
37:44Oh.
37:44So cross all your fingers and jokes.
37:46Tal, did you know Tal's in the mental health treatment?
37:48Yeah, he's a counselor.
37:50No, he's an outpatient now.
37:51I don't mean what I do professionally.
37:53He's taking a sabbatical from work,
37:55and he's in treatment.
37:56I'm a client.
37:57And you're finally participating
37:58in your own recovery.
37:59What are you talking about?
38:00Ha ha ha ha ha!
38:01It ain't all working!
38:03That's why I was like,
38:04how long has this been going on?
38:06That's rich.
38:07Okay, well.
38:08Let's take a look.
38:10Let's pivot.
38:10Y'all wanna see my pics?
38:11Yes, we do.
38:12Because Goosey's on her pics.
38:14So these are gonna be like for a profile?
38:17No, these will be for the portfolio.
38:19I mean, I can use them on my dating profiles.
38:21That is amazing.
38:22This photo is like for Goosey's dating profile,
38:25and I'm the prop.
38:26You know what I mean?
38:27I love the silver streaks through her ear hair.
38:29Oh.
38:30Ear hair does sound good.
38:31The windblown look.
38:32It is just enough.
38:33Just walking, just to show people I can walk.
38:37Ooh.
38:38I like that one.
38:39Oh, you look just like that could be in a magazine.
38:41You like that one?
38:41I like this one a lot.
38:42I could be in Vogue.
38:43You should include that one, for sure.
38:45Whitney looks so beautiful,
38:48and she's like such a good model.
38:50Like, she is being really bold.
38:53She's continuing to put herself out there.
38:55It's just really cool to see and inspiring to me.
38:59I love that one.
39:00You look so tall.
39:00You look 5'13".
39:01I think you have a lot to work with.
39:04That's gorgeous.
39:05That one might be my favorite, overall.
39:06You look like Haskell.
39:07Turn in 40, but looking like you did in senior year.
39:10Oh, I love this one.
39:12Citrus as I want to be.
39:14I like that one.
39:15Gorgeous.
39:16I love that one.
39:17We look at, so we're looking at something
39:19off in the distance.
39:20It's a little mysterious.
39:23Oh my God.
39:27What's on the lens?
39:29My panties.
39:29Oh.
39:34Oh my God.
39:35Oh my God.
39:37The nudes.
39:38Lord, help me, Lord.
39:39I, I don't know where I get the confidence.
39:44There's a crevasse.
39:46There's a crevasse and then a crevice.
39:48But it ain't right.
39:50But are you gonna put it in for your abs?
39:52Well, I'm already, I'm already, look, don't play me.
39:55I'm already insipid.
39:56Look, let's do it right now.
39:57So I'm in travel mode, Marbella.
40:00So you've gotten a lot of matches over there so far?
40:03Well, yeah.
40:04Between reaching out to men in the real world
40:07and crushing my matchmaking homework
40:09and how good these photos turned out,
40:11the nude ones especially,
40:12I am really feeling myself
40:14and I may not be going to Spain for a long time,
40:17but I will be going for a good time.
40:20David.
40:22Oh.
40:23Oh, it's a video.
40:24While I'm not on the apps,
40:25like looking for a new relationship,
40:28I can look for something to spice up my 40th birthday.
40:31I mean, I've been eating American Franks my whole life.
40:34What is wrong with a little Spanish salchicha?
40:38HR's calling me back.
40:39Oh, it's HR?
40:40Yeah.
40:41Oh, do you need to go step away?
40:43Well, let's find out.
40:48Hello?
40:49Oh God.
40:51Hello?
40:52I hope he's gonna be okay.
40:54What is he, why is he talking to him for?
40:56Oh, it's about Spain?
40:58This has been a big deal for me to get to take this time.
41:01So I wanted to make sure everything was on the up and up.
41:03So I really appreciate you checking that out.
41:06I don't want to do anything to compromise my job.
41:09And at the same time,
41:11I would be devastated if I didn't get to go.
41:13I mean, this isn't just any trip, it's Whitney's 40th.
41:16So I'm just hoping and praying
41:18and crossing everything I've got that this works out.
41:23Well, I'd be worried for his mental health
41:25if we all get to go on a trip and he gets left behind.
41:28I struggle with my mental health
41:30and I know that traveling, reconnecting, relaxing,
41:34having new and novel experiences,
41:35I'm never happier than when I travel.
41:37But I mean, I think it would be good for him.
41:39And he was so excited about it when I told him.
41:42So I do hope there's a way that he can still come
41:47on my birthday trip to Spain.
41:48And also I just,
41:50I feel anxious about being far away from him
41:54during this time, personally.
41:58♪ Te quiero y te quiero, te quiero y te quiero. ♪
42:01Next time on my big, fat, fabulous life.
42:03♪ Y sube de jala. ♪
42:05Woo!
42:05Woo!
42:06Oh yeah!
42:07Woo!
42:09Have you been talking to anybody on the desk?
42:11Oh, I did message somebody.
42:12Wait, now see, I like Juan.
42:13Yeah.
42:14Oh, he looks nice.
42:15I'm going for it.
42:16If I could snag like even one date for my birthday trip,
42:20things would be really looking up.
42:21You're just really putting it out there.
42:22Well, what else am I supposed to do, tell?
42:24If we're going to do a nude beach,
42:26we're going to be nude at the beach.
42:28S*** the bulls***.
42:29Woo!
42:30I have no idea what the hell he's doing.
42:32We're on a nude beach!
42:34We're on a nude beach!
