FunTranscript
00:00We need to pack the air mattress for Tampa.
00:02We can't forget that.
00:03I think going to Tampa with a family,
00:05it's definitely a little intimidating.
00:07It's crucial to me to get along with the family.
00:10Have you talked to Maria lately?
00:11Yeah, I talked to her earlier this morning and last night.
00:15I'm excited Veronica gets to come along.
00:17It's opening the door to her being a bigger
00:20part of everything I do.
00:22If you had one night with me, what would you want to do?
00:27I didn't think that I was going to come to this event
00:29and like walk away with a date.
00:32Would you ever go to like an adult spelling bee?
00:34You like to spell?
00:35Yes.
00:36OK.
00:37So does Brendan look better or worse after this experience?
00:42Brendan looks way better.
00:44I mean, he was like looking really good before,
00:46but way better now.
00:50Hello, hello.
00:52My family is coming to Tampa to make a special music video
00:57for Devil in a Suit and Tie.
01:00Dad can have that room.
01:03You can stay with me.
01:04How will having your family here help you?
01:07My family brings like the lighthearted aspect
01:09into my music career.
01:28I never really trust hot plates.
01:31I am in Sedona this weekend to visit my sister Lydia.
01:35I've got like a fun little holiday rental
01:38and I brought a guest.
01:40Started off just talking to each other.
01:43I was still seeing other people.
01:45Then we went on a date and kind of really fell for each other
01:48and still weren't exclusive.
01:49And so, yeah, I was keeping my options open.
01:52I went speed dating with Lydia.
01:54But in the back of my head, like I was like,
01:56there's this guy, like if he asked me to date him,
01:59I would, we'd be exclusive.
02:02Lydia, I just finished making the bed.
02:05You want to make some breakfast?
02:07Yeah, I'm making eggs.
02:08Yeah, you want to make some eggs?
02:09Yeah.
02:10What are you going to have?
02:11Whatever.
02:13Who is this?
02:15My boyfriend.
02:16Hi.
02:20That is a good breakfast.
02:22That is a good egg.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Look how orange it is.
02:26Can't be runny though.
02:27I have been dating Brendan for a few months.
02:30I was hired by this couple on the East Coast over in D.C.
02:34to shoot their wedding.
02:35And they had this dog that they wanted in their portraits.
02:39And lo and behold, this cute little dog walker in D.C.
02:42brings this dog for the portraits.
02:44And there was this little flirty eye contact.
02:48Excuse me.
02:49Sorry.
02:50You're good.
02:52So he takes care of all kinds of pets,
02:54but predominantly dogs and cats.
02:56Are there animals in there?
02:58Huh?
02:59There are animals in there, I think.
03:01There's chickens.
03:02You got it?
03:03Yeah.
03:04Wait, what's happening?
03:05There's two chickens over there.
03:07I wasn't allowed to have dogs growing up.
03:09My dad was allergic.
03:10So we just always had random pets.
03:12We had frogs in the house.
03:14We had turtles.
03:15We had gerbils and hamsters and bunnies.
03:18It's like almost like growing up on a farm without the farm.
03:21That chicken lived a good life.
03:22I'm sure you would know.
03:24I would know.
03:25I wasn't being sarcastic.
03:27I wasn't being sarcastic.
03:28Wait, I actually have a question for you.
03:30The first time I told you that I grew up on a farm,
03:32like as a country girl, what was your thought?
03:34I mean, I thought it was kind of perfect.
03:36You're like, this girl knows how to pick her eggs.
03:38Olivia, I think she loves animals just as much as I do.
03:41I think it'd be a lie to say that we didn't bond over animals.
03:45One of my favorite things that always makes me smile
03:47is when she says that she really cares about the fact
03:49that I care about them.
03:50So it's honestly something I love about her.
03:52Are you going to make bacon too or do you just want eggs?
03:54I'm going to start with eggs.
03:55Yeah, put it away.
03:56I really want to go outside and explore.
03:59It's so beautiful out.
04:01I've been out to D.C. to visit him a few times
04:03since we started dating.
04:04And I really want Brendan and my sister Lydia
04:09to meet and hang out.
04:11I'm both scared and also really excited
04:14for you to hang out with Lyd.
04:15Why?
04:16Well, it's like you taking me home to meet your parents.
04:20That kind of pressure.
04:22I've met all of his family.
04:24I met them all in one night.
04:26His immediate family and all the extended family.
04:29And it was overwhelming, but they were all so kind to me.
04:33And I appreciate that.
04:36Lyd's like probably the only family of mine
04:38you'll meet for the foreseeable future.
04:40So I just feel like so much is weighing on it
04:42and resting on it.
04:43It makes sense.
04:44We met each other before, though.
04:45For like five minutes.
04:46Yeah, but it went well.
04:47Lydia's met Brendan once before.
04:50She came to pick me up from Brendan's house.
04:52It was just a very brief, you know, this is my sister.
04:56Do we look alike?
04:57Glad you met each other.
04:58We got to go kind of conversation.
05:00So like them actually getting to know each other more.
05:04I do feel a little bit nervous.
05:12Oh, look at this romantic cloud.
05:14You might want to restart on that.
05:17Look at this pan burning.
05:18It's just a little witchy.
05:21If Lydia and Brendan don't like each other,
05:23I might lock them in this cabin and walk away with the key
05:26and give them a few hours to hash it out.
05:28They're both brutally honest people.
05:30They can deal with conflict and confrontation.
05:32They'd work it out.
05:34I love you.
05:35I love you.
05:36I'm so glad you're here.
05:38I did casually date.
05:39I kept that pretty private.
05:41But I think, like, it's not me.
05:45I really want the investment of a relationship.
05:48You want to go outside?
05:49Yeah.
05:50I couldn't decide for a long time if my desire
05:53for like a monogamous, committed relationship was
05:57going to be a thing or not.
05:59I think it's going to be a thing.
06:01I think it's going to be a thing.
06:03I think it's going to be a thing.
06:05I think it's going to be a thing.
06:08Conditioning from how I grew up or if it's
06:10what I actually wanted and gave myself some time
06:14to figure it out and come to terms with things
06:16in my own way, which is, I am built
06:18for long-term relationships.
06:19It is what I want.
06:20But it's for as long as both people are healthy and happy.
06:24Are we going to move this up here?
06:25I want the view.
06:26Totally down.
06:27That's my first time dating someone of worse.
06:29But from the conversations we had,
06:32it was understood that it was over.
06:34And I think that she had moved on
06:36and she was ready to start building a life
06:38with someone else.
06:40I love you.
06:42I love you.
06:44I love you too.
06:46I love you.
06:48There's a lot of I love you, I love you going on.
06:50Tell me about the first time you guys said
06:52I love you to each other.
06:54Yeah.
06:55I mean, it was just like a moment of like,
06:57this is the person I want to be with
06:59for the rest of my life.
07:00So I waited a couple months not to sound crazy.
07:02And then when I knew that we were officially
07:05dating, I was like, well, just say, no,
07:07I already love you and I want to be with you
07:09for the rest of my life.
07:10Of course I said it back.
07:11Like, I wasn't not gonna.
07:13I'd already been feeling that way.
07:15But like, we're both not ready for marriage.
07:17And that's fine.
07:19We're together right now.
07:20We're looking at our future and we're planting flowers.
07:23And you're the person I want to do it with.
07:26There are probably a lot of people who would tell me
07:28that it's too soon to be in a long-term relationship
07:30after getting out of a long-term relationship.
07:34And to that, I say,
07:36go kick rocks with open-toed shoes.
07:38Mind your business.
07:40Not your beeswax.
07:42Life with you is so fun and so sweet.
07:46Just want to make you the happiest person ever.
07:48You already do.
07:49Congratulations.
07:50On a day-to-day basis, though.
07:51You already do.
07:52I have not spoken to Ethan at all
07:55about this aspect of my life.
07:57I don't really feel the need to talk to him
07:59about me dating or being in a relationship
08:01or any of that.
08:02It's not a necessary conversation.
08:04I'm really happy to let him go his own way in life
08:07and heal how he wants and move on how he wants
08:10and find closure how he wants.
08:11And I don't feel like I need to be a part of that process.
08:14We're a team, yeah?
08:16Team?
08:17Can work through anything.
08:18As long as we're a team.
08:19Hey, turtle.
08:20Hey, turtle.
08:21Hey, turtle.
08:22Olivia had a shoot in the Bahamas for a wedding.
08:25And she was kind enough to let me tag along.
08:27She is a fan of getting tattoos when she goes on trips.
08:32We've got these turtles on our wrists
08:34and they have these little, like, stars
08:36that go around them.
08:37So we can connect them with the stars.
08:39Or what we often do is we do little turtle kisses.
08:42I love my turtle.
08:43I love my turtle.
08:46I used to love Ethan.
08:48And then we got coordinating tattoos and we're not together.
08:50What's going on in your head right now?
08:52Why the freaking heck am I doing this?
08:55When I look at that, I think of the first 25 years of my life
08:59and what I thought I wanted and who I was.
09:02And when I look at this, I think of who I am now.
09:04And I don't feel like I have to erase chapters of my life.
09:08You want to explore?
09:09Yeah.
09:10Let's do it.
09:23I don't even know what time it is.
09:25It's 4 something a.m.
09:26And my house is starting to wake up.
09:29So it might get scary here for a second.
09:31We're leaving in a half an hour.
09:35So we'll see.
09:36Did you get enough sleep?
09:38No, I didn't get enough sleep.
09:41How much sleep have you had?
09:43I got like three hours of nightmares.
09:46We're in Tampa at a rental house that Mariah got
09:49so that we could all come and help her with her latest project,
09:52which is a really fun music video.
09:55And we're all excited about it.
09:57Is my hair, is it cute?
10:01Everybody has been so amazing.
10:03Like my whole family showing up for me.
10:05That's a big deal.
10:06But I still don't know how everything's going to work out with this music video.
10:11I've never done this by myself.
10:14And I've certainly never like directed.
10:19She's on the road.
10:21Oh, she's on the road.
10:22She's changing.
10:26Seeing Kim, we're just kind of like on two separate tracks.
10:31Going, you know, in two separate directions.
10:34It's just pretty casual and surface level.
10:38My dress is the only thing that looks decent on me right now.
10:41I look like a sleeping wreck.
10:44You look good.
10:46Normally, if Barry and I have something to talk about,
10:49it's either a text or a phone call.
10:51We're not going to just be chatty and make small talk.
10:54But I feel like it's a normal thing, or it should be anyway,
10:58for two adults to just put their differences aside and be there for their kids.
11:04I'm riding with Isaac.
11:06So you can either ride with us or follow us or whatever you want to do.
11:10This is the first time that I've woken up in a house with my mom in it
11:15since before I got married.
11:17It's been almost six years.
11:19A lot has changed.
11:21It's like my dad's this big, fit, buff, bald guy now.
11:27My mom's kind of like just wearing these mini skirts
11:32that I wish I didn't see her in, honestly.
11:40Micah's definitely really close with his family.
11:42One of my favorite qualities about him.
11:44I grew up with a single mother and a sister,
11:46so it was really the three of us against the world.
11:48So it's definitely something completely out of my ballpark and new to me.
11:53Why didn't you microwave something?
11:55Kim, do you know what you would microwave this in?
11:57The cup, the paper cup.
11:59That's going to go on fire.
12:01The paper cup isn't going to go on fire.
12:03I had a travel mug that I brought.
12:05Yeah, that was the best part.
12:07I was planning to make coffee right now.
12:10I'm very lucky.
12:12I have someone that can just dive head over heels into the chaos of my family
12:17and not even think twice.
12:19Probably out of her comfort zone,
12:21but she just throws herself out there
12:23and willing to help Mariah, me, my family out.
12:335 a.m.
12:35All right, we've got like 15 minutes
12:37and we've got to be out of here.
12:39Which bag are you bringing?
12:41All of them.
12:43Cameras can be rolling by 6.
12:47That'll be good.
12:50We'll take time to set up.
12:52Mariah would not have chosen 5.30 in the morning
12:54to start shooting the video.
12:56But it's being shot at a bar
12:58and the bar opens at noon.
13:00So we really have from 5.30 to 11.30
13:02that's our window to get this thing done.
13:04Okay, who's ready?
13:06I'm ready.
13:08Ready, ready?
13:105.20 guys, we gotta go.
13:12We gotta go.
13:14Let's go.
13:16So I'm riding with you guys.
13:19Mm, we're late.
13:21What can I get you?
13:23Whiskey, please.
13:25I'm the bartender because Mariah said
13:27I would make a good bartender.
13:29I served everybody so much that they had to cut
13:31every five minutes to go let the ladies take a leak.
13:33We're gonna want more shots.
13:35You wanna hop in the tub?
13:37Yeah.
13:39It's kind of crazy.
13:41The more you feel seen
13:43and understood and safe
13:45and loved
13:48regardless of anything
13:50by the person you're with,
13:52it's kind of crazy how that makes you feel
13:54more in love with them.
13:56Who would have known?
13:58I love life with you.
14:10My dress has pockets.
14:12I just thought everybody should know.
14:14Today is the big day.
14:16I've had the idea of making a music video
14:18for probably six years now.
14:20And now here I am.
14:22I'm obviously in the music video
14:24and directing at the same time.
14:26I'm just kind of trying to make it up as I go.
14:28Whatever happens, happens.
14:30It is what it is. Do the best you can.
14:32That's all.
14:34Honestly, what time is it?
14:36And I'm wondering where everybody is.
14:38It's almost 6.30.
14:40The plot of the music video is
14:42look out for the devil in a suit and tie
14:45I'm kind of the crazy girl
14:47at the bar trying to get a hold of my life
14:49again or whatever
14:51and the devil comes in
14:53and I'm like,
14:55oh yeah, alright, this is what you need to look out for.
14:57It's like a warning song
14:59to my girlfriends.
15:01You can pretend like you're putting ingredients in them.
15:03Like that.
15:05Ethan is the bartender.
15:07Mike is the backup camera guy.
15:09And Dad, he's going to hang out at the bar.
15:11Mom is helping with the dance part of it.
15:14Lydia and Amber are my friends.
15:16Isaac is the bouncer.
15:18And Max is the creative
15:20person on the camera.
15:22I cast an actor named Coley as the devil.
15:24And I will go ahead and say,
15:26Coley's not a devil. He's just playing one.
15:28Alright, ready?
15:30For the song. You can cue up the music.
15:32I can't help but wonder
15:34why
15:36you look out for the devil in a suit and tie
15:38Ready?
15:40He's coming back
15:42Quite honestly, I feel
15:44delirious a little bit
15:46because I got three hours of sleep last night
15:48and it was filled with nightmares about how today
15:50was going to go.
15:52I know I could easily be super nervous
15:54but I just don't have time for that today.
15:56You want to join in?
15:58Veronica, you look beautiful!
16:00If you want to sit right here
16:02between
16:04Yeah, how about right here? This is a good spot.
16:06You can sit here.
16:08You want to get up and dance? Feel free.
16:11I'm so thankful Veronica came.
16:13Lord knows I needed extra people today.
16:15And then also, I feel bad for her
16:17because she doesn't really enjoy
16:19being on camera.
16:21I have like one dance move
16:23and Micah thinks it's the most ridiculous thing ever.
16:25What is it?
16:27This.
16:29Do you want to look at some of the shots I've got?
16:31Veronica,
16:33she's great to be around
16:35and have fun with.
16:37When we first met, we spent a long time
16:40experiencing a common experience.
16:42We both had
16:44experience with
16:46narcissists in our lives.
16:48And so immediately,
16:50that just kind of allowed us to understand each other
16:52in that way.
16:54Amber saw this and she goes,
16:56you're actually good at that. I didn't expect you to.
16:58So,
17:00Olivia's definitely the narcissist.
17:02Barry and I were talking about
17:04sorry girl.
17:06I call it like I see it, sort of.
17:08A couple months ago, I went to a wedding
17:10with the whole Plath family back in Minnesota.
17:12It was their cousin's wedding.
17:14Olivia was there.
17:16I've only heard things about her at that time.
17:18I'm open-minded. I love people.
17:20Love everybody until you give me a reason not to.
17:22She didn't even have like two seconds to say hi.
17:24She just like shoulder-bumped into me
17:26and like, mean girls.
17:28I said, okay, I guess everything I heard could be true.
17:30Alright, so we're going to walk up.
17:32Let's come back here.
17:34We'll walk into the frame this way.
17:37And action.
17:41I need a drink.
17:43I don't know about you.
17:45What can I get you?
17:47Whiskey, please.
17:49A shot of chocolate milk.
17:51I'm the bartender
17:53because Mariah said I would make a good bartender.
18:01We're going to want more shots.
18:07We're just doing shots of apple juice.
18:09I was like, okay,
18:11I'll goof off back here
18:13with some apple juice and water
18:15and try to make it look like whiskey and vodka.
18:17I served everybody so much
18:19that they had to cut every five minutes
18:21to go let the ladies take a leak
18:23because they were drinking their weight
18:25in water and apple juice.
18:27What's next?
18:29Okay, I think now we need to get Coley.
18:31So here's my thought.
18:33I think it would be really good
18:36if you could do something to him.
18:38I don't know,
18:40put your foot up on his chest
18:42and push him back a little
18:44and walk away.
18:46I don't know, something like, you know?
18:48I suggested that she kick the guy back in the chair.
18:50I just thought visually it would look really cool.
18:52And symbolically, yeah.
18:54It's kind of like kicking him to the curb.
18:56All right.
18:58Ready.
19:00Three, two, one, go.
19:06Mariah.
19:08Wait!
19:10Oh my gosh!
19:12Mom was like,
19:14it's going to be really cool.
19:16And it actually ended up to be a cool shot.
19:18Okay, so
19:20whenever she's done,
19:22we can tell her to
19:24stall and keep
19:26the guys here.
19:28Keep Mikey here
19:30so that we can go set up for his party.
19:32We told Mariah that we're doing
19:34an early birthday party for Micah
19:36but that was really a cover-up.
19:38What we're actually doing is a surprise party for Mariah.
19:40Veronica and I decided
19:42to do something separate for Micah
19:44and this weekend
19:46is really all about Mariah
19:48because she's worked really hard
19:50and she's done some amazing stuff
19:52and we want to celebrate that accomplishment.
19:54This is the last shot
19:56so just give it your best,
19:58whatever we do
20:00is all we will have.
20:03It's really fun to see
20:05all of us
20:07working together on this video project.
20:09It kind of makes me miss
20:11the old days when we all had
20:13our roles to play in the family band.
20:15Let's go!
20:17Good job!
20:19I can't believe we've almost finished this.
20:21I can't believe I got all of this together in a week
20:23but I couldn't have done it without
20:25all the help I had.
20:29Look out for the devil
20:32in a suit and tie
20:34disguising himself
20:36as an angel in light.
20:38Everybody just came together and it was fun.
20:40Now I'm gonna tell you
20:42what I couldn't see.
20:44Look out for the devil
20:46in a suit and tie.
20:48I do like this song, it's a little catchy.
20:50It might have gotten annoying after the
20:5267th time
20:54but it's a good song.
20:56Okay, that's a wrap!
21:04I'm really tired.
21:06Barry, are you really that tired or are you pretending?
21:08I mean, today I would have
21:10loved to have brought Ken
21:12but I don't know what
21:14Barry thinks about me dating Ken
21:16because Barry won't talk about it.
21:18Barry doesn't talk to me about
21:20anything.
21:23Alright, you got all your directions?
21:25Yep.
21:27I feel like I don't have enough time before our turn.
21:29I know, I'm just gonna keep it at you.
21:31I'm just gonna keep it at you.
21:33I'm not even gonna say nothing, I'm just gonna let you look at it the whole time.
21:35Give me a heads up!
21:37I feel like Sedona's magical.
21:39Yeah.
21:41I just want to do anything with her.
21:43I just want to do anything with her.
21:45I just want to do anything with her.
21:47I just want to do anything with her.
21:49I just want to do anything with her.
21:52I just want to do anything witchy
21:54and like vortex-y.
21:56Literally what Sedona's known for.
21:58This is the one I really liked.
22:00I just want to be sitting right on top.
22:02Right, and then you get the one on the right too.
22:06Ooh, yeah, that.
22:08This is pretty.
22:10That is where I want to be.
22:12Ethan was always bothered.
22:14If I was different than him, thought different than him
22:16and I would always ask
22:18like, can we just be different?
22:20Look at this view!
22:22Like when you look at that, don't you just think you could live here?
22:24Yeah, to an extent, I guess.
22:26With Brendan, from the get-go, we are different.
22:28It's not like we're starting like clones of each other.
22:30Of who we were taught we should be
22:32and then five years down the road
22:34we're gonna become totally different people.
22:36We're starting off already different people
22:38with the same common goals
22:40of what we want the world to look like.
22:42And that's unifying
22:44rather than dividing.
22:47I still want to go to L.A. with you sometime
22:49and show you all my favorite spots.
22:51Of course.
22:53Coffee shop, ice cream shop, the beach.
22:55The bakery.
22:57The park where I read my books.
22:59The bookstore, yeah, I know.
23:01Yeah.
23:03My lease in L.A. is coming to an end
23:05and I've been thinking of where to move
23:07and when I moved to L.A.
23:09I knew it was temporary.
23:11I knew it was just for a little bit of life experience
23:13but it's been a long time
23:16but I don't want to feel so nomadic anymore.
23:18I'm at the point in my life
23:20where I want to settle down a little bit.
23:22I've always been really scared of settling down.
23:24Yeah?
23:26Like putting down roots.
23:28Why?
23:30I just was always scared I was gonna get trapped before.
23:32Like in a situation
23:34I didn't want to be in.
23:36You know what it honestly was?
23:38Nowhere felt like home
23:40and I was really scared of like
23:42being stuck in a place that didn't feel like home.
23:44I feel like this is the first time in my life
23:46that like
23:48I can see myself having a home
23:50where I feel like I belong somewhere
23:52and it's
23:54so much more about
23:56the person than the location
23:58and I don't think I realized
24:00that I was missing that key ingredient before.
24:02Makes you feel any better?
24:04You feel like home to me?
24:06Like home to me.
24:08There wasn't like a lot of
24:10nurturing or like
24:13loving people out loud in the home that I grew up in
24:15and
24:19I've wanted that in all of my adult relationships
24:21but then when he does I'm like
24:23I don't know what to do with that.
24:25Like that feels so uncomfortable.
24:27That's why you know
24:29we get along so well is that
24:31I feel the same way you know like
24:33she does that with me and I start breaking down
24:35crying cause I'm like
24:37I don't believe it about myself.
24:39You know the soul tie we were talking about
24:42at that level I feel like is important.
24:44Yeah.
24:46I love you.
24:48I love you.
25:00Let's start with streamers and these guys.
25:02Should we assemble these things?
25:04Mariah just finished filming her
25:06very first music video and
25:08Veronica and I are setting up
25:10I told Micah
25:12and I said okay but we're going to plan something
25:14special for your birthday.
25:16We have to surprise him.
25:18He'd love it.
25:20I've not had a lot of chances yet to have one on one
25:22interactions with Kim.
25:24Definitely going through my mind into the situation
25:26tried lightly. I'm a strong personality
25:28Kim's a strong personality.
25:30It could either get along great or buttheads.
25:32Should we start with the tablecloth?
25:34Let's decorate the cake
25:36first.
25:39If they come home
25:41we could have
25:43an easier of the cake.
25:45I want the cake done though before they get here.
25:47Micah said his mom was very
25:49her way or the highway.
25:51I'm very type A, I like everything
25:53organized. It is a little
25:55bit hard being a big personality
25:57stepping back.
26:01I felt that we could have
26:03utilized our time cleaning and
26:05doing a little bit more to the house.
26:08She wanted to do the cake first so
26:10that's what we're going to do.
26:12I'm just here for the ride.
26:14Can we do it at an angle
26:16this way?
26:18And then I feel like it's more forgiving
26:20if it's not perfectly straight.
26:22Veronica, I've only met her a couple times.
26:24We've talked a good bit on the phone.
26:26She seems very smart, very nice,
26:28very helpful.
26:30Should we pitch this so you can write straight as possible?
26:32Sure.
26:34To me the fact that she's even willing to come
26:37set up with all of us for that length
26:39of time and not have a bedroom even
26:41in the loft
26:43on an air mattress,
26:45that says a lot.
26:47What else?
26:49I don't think I'm talented enough to do a microphone
26:51and have it look like a microphone.
26:53It might just look like a blob.
26:55Or something.
27:05Mike is really close to this family.
27:07It's one of my favorite things about him.
27:09His family is important to him
27:11so that makes it important to me.
27:13I got it, I got it.
27:15What if we just like
27:17randomly taped it onto these
27:19and we can just...
27:21Okay, I think that's good.
27:24We've got 10 minutes before they get here
27:26so we can sit for a minute
27:28and rest.
27:30It's been so fun spending time with everybody.
27:32Like it made waking up
27:34at 5 in the morning
27:36exciting.
27:38I think Veronica fits in
27:40great with the family.
27:42We haven't told Micah to go fast or to go slow.
27:44We're just letting Micah do Micah.
27:46I want to thank you again
27:48for having me here.
27:50I've had so much fun with the family.
27:53The lively energy
27:55and everybody just being together
27:57supporting Mariah has been so fun.
27:59I think with Olivia
28:01we had a relationship up until
28:03they got married and then
28:05we didn't.
28:07What can we do, you and I?
28:09If I know you don't trust me
28:11then it's really hard to work on that relationship.
28:13I married your son and I'm in your family now
28:15and I'm different and that has to be okay.
28:17I'm not going to project
28:19what happened with Olivia
28:21and future spouses, any of that.
28:23I'm going to do what I've always done
28:25which is be nice, be friendly, be helpful
28:27and they either like me
28:29or they don't.
28:31I think you're really good for Micah.
28:33You two seem really happy together and really good together.
28:35We balance each other out.
28:37We definitely both level each other off
28:39and things like that.
28:41It definitely means a lot to hear Kim say
28:43that I'm good for Micah.
28:45I'm still getting to know her
28:47but I do respect her opinion a lot
28:50It's fun to have you around
28:52and you're certainly helpful
28:54when we need to reach something tall.
28:56It's so fun being around
28:58an environment like this
29:00growing up with only one sibling.
29:02It's so different.
29:04I was an only child
29:06so I love seeing everybody come together
29:08and even though they're my children
29:10I still appreciate that they have each other.
29:12I think they're going to be on their way soon
29:14so I think we have just
29:16a little bit of
29:19Yeah.
29:21It's party time.
29:25The broccoli
29:27is supposed to be what smells bad, right?
29:29Yeah.
29:31I still smell it right here. It's crazy.
29:33Well, I haven't been in the room
29:35for a few minutes so...
29:37It's a pungent broccoli is all I was saying.
29:39So who farted?
29:49Where's Micah?
29:51Do you want to yell
29:53congratulations or surprise?
29:55Micah's telling Mariah for a second
29:57while we all get in here.
29:59Mariah thinks she's leading Micah in
30:01for a surprise party for him
30:03but it's actually a surprise party for her
30:05and I can't wait to see her face.
30:07It's congratulations or surprise?
30:09Congratulations.
30:11Yeah, do we yell congratulations or surprise?
30:13Okay, I need to know, figure out.
30:15Congrats or surprise?
30:17How about surprise-a-lations?
30:19Surprise-a-lations, yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:21No, that'll confuse her.
30:23Congratulations.
30:25That's good with me.
30:27I'm not one to complicate things.
30:29Okay, is everybody in agreement?
30:31Yes, we do.
30:33Okay.
30:35Congratulations!
30:37Surprise!
30:39No, happy birthday!
30:41Congratulations, Mariah!
30:43Guys!
30:46Everybody was telling me
30:48earlier today it was a birthday
30:50party for Micah because Micah's birthday is soon.
30:52And then I look around and I'm like
30:54black and red, congratulations.
30:56Me?
31:00You guys told me it was his
31:02birthday party!
31:04This is a party for you.
31:08Well, thank you so much!
31:12Way to go!
31:16I mean, I'm just so proud of Mariah
31:18and everything she's gone through.
31:20Aw, you guys are so sweet!
31:22That music video and that song
31:24came out of the worst heartbreak
31:26she's ever had.
31:28And instead of wallowing in it,
31:30she flipped it around and wrote a song about it.
31:32Okay, let's eat.
31:38Oh, the devil signed it!
31:40He signed it, the devil!
31:42Straight from hell.
31:45If I take a nap, I'll be
31:47ready for something tonight.
31:49Okay, then go take a nap.
31:51Get some sleep.
31:53You know, Barry and I have some issues
31:55that are kind of hot points for us.
31:57I mean, today I would have loved to have
31:59brought Ken, but I don't know
32:01what Barry thinks about me dating
32:03Ken because Barry won't talk about it.
32:05Barry doesn't talk to me
32:07about anything
32:09other than if we need to
32:11drop off the girls, but it's okay.
32:13We're both here to support Mariah
32:15and that matters more than any of our differences.
32:17I just want to be here.
32:19Barry, are you really that tired
32:21or are you pretending?
32:23I'm really tired.
32:25Do you think you'll ever feel comfortable
32:27having Ken at family events?
32:29It's just a matter of time,
32:31you know, for me.
32:33You know, just realizing, hey,
32:35she's made her choices to move forward
32:37in the way she's moving forward.
32:39You know, I have to kind of put myself
32:42She's moved on, found someone else.
32:44I assume he's a nice guy,
32:46you know, and
32:48just to
32:50accept that,
32:52to be at peace with that,
32:54because I would like,
32:56if I move into the future and find somebody,
32:58I would like the same reciprocating.
33:00The best thing to do is not fight things
33:02or make problems out of it,
33:04but just make the best of it.
33:06Micah, we're not having a cake fight.
33:08I'm not going to.
33:11I don't trust you.
33:13Ready, dip.
33:15Micah, don't.
33:17There definitely is a plot energy
33:19when the family gets together.
33:21I mean, they're their wholesome selves.
33:23They're throwing tomatoes after I made a music video.
33:29Ethan's cracking up bright red,
33:31Micah's bright red,
33:33Isaac's bright red.
33:35Nice.
33:37I guess I would
33:39imagine that's what they were like at the farm,
33:41like having fun with the simplest things.
33:43Micah.
33:45I didn't throw anything.
33:47Okay, well, when you do throw stuff, it is a little bit...
33:49I haven't thrown anything. It was Ethan.
33:51Mom, tomatoes are 100% biodegradable.
33:53Right.
33:55They must be homeschooled.
34:05I swear it smells like someone farted.
34:08Broccoli is supposed to be what smells bad, right?
34:10Yeah.
34:12I still smell it right here.
34:14It's crazy.
34:16Well, I haven't been in the room for a few minutes, so...
34:18Yeah, I'm pretty comfortable with myself,
34:20at least around the people that I care about,
34:22so I feel like, you know,
34:24take the imperfections parts as they come.
34:26It's a pungent broccoli,
34:28is all I was saying.
34:30So who farted?
34:32Oh, it was definitely me.
34:34Definitely.
34:37Having a drink, maybe filling the tub outside.
34:39Yeah.
34:41I feel like there is such a deep level of trust
34:43in our relationship.
34:45And with that comes, like,
34:47the freedom to be vulnerable and yourself
34:49and mess up or be goofy
34:51or be a goober.
34:53I can hear the birds singing.
34:55Do a little holding hands in the water.
34:57A little holding hands in the water?
34:59So wholesome.
35:01Olivia, she's a very appreciative
35:03and empathetic person, so, like,
35:05she'll do something and she'll be like,
35:07you know, I really appreciate you that you did this,
35:09you know, I wasn't necessarily fulfilled in this certain way
35:11in my old life, so, like,
35:13I just want to let you know that I appreciate you.
35:15And I don't know, she just makes me smile a lot.
35:17What's the issue?
35:19I don't know, this is all brute force.
35:21Brendan has all the qualities
35:23that I would look for in a best friend.
35:25Obviously, we still have our, like,
35:27little tiffs and arguments
35:29and different perspectives on things,
35:31but a best friend is someone that, like,
35:34at the end of the day, you're still having fun together
35:36and you still really like who the other person is
35:38and you didn't have that before.
35:40Not doing great.
35:44Do you know what I do when that happens?
35:46What do you do?
35:48I push the cork down into the wine.
35:50You're going to have wood in your wine.
35:52I've got wood either way.
35:54She likes to play down
35:56the sexuality the first time,
35:58but great first night.
36:00Brendan, you got something right here.
36:03Oh.
36:05Do you have something on you?
36:07Is there a bug?
36:09A bug?
36:11You got it?
36:13No, I don't see a bug.
36:15Just a good old hickey.
36:17Ooh.
36:19I feel like Brendan is someone
36:21who embraces life to the fullest.
36:23Now I feel like I'm the stick in the mud sometimes
36:25compared to, like, someone
36:27who is so expressive and free
36:29and you are rock solid
36:31and I don't know,
36:33I'm realizing that maybe
36:35I'm a bit more prudish
36:37than I thought I was.
36:39Look at the mountains over there.
36:41Oh, that's beautiful.
36:43That's a little picture we're taking.
36:45Yeah, you're right.
36:47Sedona is worth coming to.
36:49Look, you and your fire
36:51and the mountains in the background.
36:53Sedona is a place where there's a lot of energy,
36:55like universe energy, some woo-woo,
36:57and I have decided
37:00to kind of figure out what that means in my life
37:02and, like, not be judgmental of it.
37:04Even when tarot readers tell me
37:06what I don't want to hear.
37:08It does show me that you're meant to be married once.
37:10Only once?
37:12Yeah.
37:14You and him will reunite.
37:16Have you told Brendan about that?
37:18No.
37:20Yes.
37:22About what you didn't want to hear?
37:24Yeah, about the tarot reading.
37:26You didn't tell me there was anything
37:29you didn't want to hear.
37:39Want to sit here for a sec?
37:41Yeah.
37:43You can sit by your fire.
37:45It's an okay fire.
37:47A few months ago,
37:49I had a tarot reading done,
37:51and she told me that I would get back together with Ethan.
37:53You and him will reunite.
37:55Have you told Brendan about that?
37:57You didn't tell me there was anything
37:59you didn't want to hear.
38:01She told me I was going to get back together with my ex,
38:03which I did not want to hear.
38:05But should we make that come true?
38:07Yeah.
38:09Are we over?
38:11Yeah.
38:13We're done.
38:15Want to get back together?
38:17Hi, I'm Olivia.
38:19Brendan, nice to meet you.
38:21Oh, my God, the butterflies.
38:23Would you like to date?
38:26If I like someone or if I like something,
38:28I want to dive headfirst into it.
38:30I feel like there's not really
38:32another point to do anything else.
38:34I love you.
38:36I love you.
38:38I just want to be able to grow old
38:40and sit on a park bench
38:42and stare out into the sun,
38:44just be able to sit there
38:46and appreciate each other's company.
38:48There's no one like her,
38:50and I would never want anyone else.
38:52Imagine if we had a house
38:55with all the lights and the plants on it.
38:57I would cover this wall
38:59with flower plants on the top.
39:01Perfect.
39:03I don't know exactly what life looks like,
39:05but I know that life would look like
39:07us being in our house together,
39:09being able to wake up every morning
39:11and pour her some coffee
39:13and give her a kiss
39:15and just let her know that I love her.
39:17I don't know what we'll do throughout the day,
39:19but being able to come back at the end of the day
39:21and just let her know I love her again
39:24and do it all the next day.
39:26Give me another beer?
39:28Yes, sir.
39:30That's super sweet.
39:32You want to hop in the tub?
39:34Yeah.
39:36It's kind of crazy
39:38the more you feel seen and understood
39:40and safe and loved
39:42regardless of anything
39:44by the person you're with.
39:46It's kind of crazy
39:48how that makes you feel more in love with them.
39:50Who would have known?
39:52Sometimes love is not enough in a relationship,
39:54but being in this relationship now
39:56where the love feels so much deeper
39:58and stronger and freer,
40:00it's enough.
40:02Yeah.
40:04That's hot.
40:06These are the kind of moments
40:08that I always wanted
40:10in a relationship
40:12and didn't know how to facilitate.
40:14It's just so easy
40:16and it's so fun.
40:18Isn't this so nice out here?
40:21Nice being in nature every once in a while.
40:23Thanks for flying out here.
40:25Of course.
40:27No, but for real.
40:29You got to make it work.
40:31I appreciate it.
40:33I definitely have my doubts
40:35on how I'm doing as a partner all the time,
40:37but yeah, it's always nice to feel
40:39that I'm getting the support from her
40:41when I am doing a good job.
40:43Get your ass over here.
40:45This is my moment now.
40:47I love you.
40:50I love life with you.
40:56I look in the past
40:58of how I've had a really hard time
41:00settling down,
41:02and I think it's because it wasn't right
41:04for me to settle down
41:06or in that situation with that person,
41:08whatever it was.
41:10All I want to do is put down some roots
41:12and get some chickens with you
41:14and plant fruit trees
41:16and enjoy life.
41:20Now we just have to get my sister to like you.
41:22Oh, s***.
41:26If I was to pick anything in here,
41:28what would I pick?
41:30That.
41:32How did you know?
41:34We've been in this jewelry store a few times.
41:36It's always a place we like to go and look
41:38and see what they have, you know?
41:40Out of curiosity, what's your ring size?
41:42What finger?
41:46Why don't we
41:48get together and come up with songs
41:50and just one time
41:52do a concert all together as a family?
41:54We won't be doing gospel music,
41:56that's for sure.
41:58I would like to just do worship music.
42:00Singing this song
42:02kind of goes against everything in me.
42:04You want to do a reading?
42:06Are you doing tarot readings right now?
42:08Yes.
42:10He only charges $5.
42:12Because it's not good?
42:14Wow!
42:17I know that Brendi makes my sister so happy,
42:19but I worry about Olivia.
42:21Especially because this seems serious.
42:23I do feel like it's rash.
