00:00:00Keys, keys, keys.
00:00:19A reporter from Fortune Magazine will be here at 9.
00:00:23Your lunch is confirmed.
00:00:24And it's Randall Cole's birthday.
00:00:26Any genius gift ideas?
00:00:27And I think, um, he is the chairman of my board, so...
00:00:32My floor seats.
00:00:41Housemates, is anybody up?
00:00:44I lost my keys at the club.
00:00:57And please, no more parking tickets.
00:01:01The fines, they're going to affect your credit score.
00:01:04Yeah, I got it.
00:01:09And no sampling the merchandise.
00:01:11I'm not kidding.
00:01:12All right, Frank.
00:01:23Morning.
00:01:26Hello.
00:01:27Love it, love it.
00:01:27Lose it.
00:01:28Never admit you have it.
00:01:29Okay.
00:01:30The reporter's ready right over there, down the hatch.
00:01:41Frank, one fire.
00:01:46I'm fresh.
00:01:49Enjoy.
00:01:50God, looks like you're already set up with some kombucha.
00:01:53Curtis' mom home makes it.
00:01:55Everyone loves Beverly's Booch.
00:01:57Shall we?
00:01:57Be Scheduled isn't just a calendar app.
00:02:09It's a lifestyle tool that keeps you on time and on schedule.
00:02:12Like the cool kids say, FOMO, no mo.
00:02:16Employees get a carbon offset workspace, flex scheduling, and our mother's room is available
00:02:20to anyone who needs a timeout, mother or not.
00:02:23Sounds like everything's going as scheduled here at the schedule.
00:02:26I see what you did there.
00:02:27Yep.
00:02:27So, no truth to the rumors the board is ousting you and replacing you with Sadie Holt?
00:02:32What?
00:02:34Absolutely not.
00:02:35Deal with it.
00:02:36You're firing me from the company that I founded and replacing me with Randall's daughter,
00:02:43and no one here has a problem with this?
00:02:46Subscriptions are down.
00:02:48You've had three bad quarters in a row.
00:02:52Sadie resuscitated Glamour Shack with her friendship bracelet initiative.
00:02:57Her being my daughter isn't the point.
00:02:59She has big, fresh ideas.
00:03:01You blocked me from my proposals to update the web interface design.
00:03:05I am over here trying to revitalize this brand, and you have blocked me at every turn.
00:03:10It is the job of a board to support its founder's vision, and you set me up to fail.
00:03:15We have a fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders, and we've lost confidence in you.
00:03:21As chairman, I have to make tough decisions.
00:03:24Getting the stock price back up is our primary concern.
00:03:28Every stock has a down day, Randall.
00:03:30The board has the voting power to remove you.
00:03:34It was unanimous.
00:03:39Even you, Marjorie, the first female fist through the glass ceiling?
00:03:44I mean, where is the sisterhood, Marjorie?
00:03:45Your exit compensation package.
00:03:50No.
00:03:51I can't, um, it's fine.
00:03:56Oh, Megs.
00:03:58No crying in baseball?
00:04:00Actually, Randall, there is no crying in basketball.
00:04:08So, you no longer validate the game.
00:04:12So, there.
00:04:15Oh, in the meantime, Sadie.
00:04:16We are not friends.
00:04:21Hold on.
00:04:22Aged out?
00:04:23Of what?
00:04:24Girl, I just sent you Randall's press release about Sadie.
00:04:27Be strong.
00:04:33It's sad Megan Moore is an icon, but it's time she steps aside to let a new generation revive
00:04:37the brand?
00:04:39I'm only eight years older than Sadie.
00:04:41We're both millennials.
00:04:43Randall's working overtime to trash you.
00:04:44Says you've lost your touch.
00:04:46Shhh.
00:04:47Yuki?
00:04:48What am I supposed to do?
00:04:49I'm the best executive recruiter around.
00:04:52Normally, I could find some money bags backer for a new venture, but you're radioactive.
00:04:56You need to lay low.
00:04:57Let this blow over.
00:04:58But all I do is work.
00:04:59I mean, who am I even if I'm not running a company?
00:05:03Self-care.
00:05:04Reconnect with old friends.
00:05:05Meditate.
00:05:06Volunteer.
00:05:07People actually do those things?
00:05:08No idea.
00:05:09Saw it on TikTok.
00:05:13Greg.
00:05:13Greg, hi.
00:05:16Megan Moore.
00:05:21Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:22Long time no talk.
00:05:24Uh-huh.
00:05:28Oh, wow.
00:05:31Oh, three kids.
00:05:33Wow.
00:05:34Greg, you're breaking up a little bit.
00:05:36I...
00:05:36A lot has happened to my sophomore year roommate.
00:05:47Every guy I ever date move on already.
00:05:54Hello.
00:05:55And welcome.
00:05:57I'm Christine.
00:05:58And I invite you to make yourself comfortable.
00:06:01No, there's no way.
00:06:03It's only been one minute.
00:06:05Take a moment to pause.
00:06:07Bubble hopping is as simple as getting out of your own bubble, getting to know someone else from a different bubble.
00:06:13Broaden your horizons.
00:06:14See things from another person's point of view.
00:06:17Experience their day-to-day.
00:06:19Get out of your own boring rut.
00:06:21The nice lady at the rescue said you all just need a good walk.
00:06:32Easy peasy, right?
00:06:35Hardest, help!
00:06:36Help me, 911!
00:06:39Thank you for rounding up the dogs.
00:06:41Sure.
00:06:41I didn't know you cooked.
00:06:43Oh, I don't.
00:06:44I think these spices came with the house.
00:06:46Do you think that we organize them alphabetically or by flavor profile?
00:06:50You need a real project.
00:06:56Like, something you can sink your claws into and shred to pieces and eat the beating heart out of.
00:07:02You know, be yourself.
00:07:03Yes, I know.
00:07:04But what?
00:07:07No, no, it's my mom.
00:07:08Nope.
00:07:10You have a mom?
00:07:11Yes.
00:07:11I work very hard to keep Lois out of my flight path.
00:07:14Lois?
00:07:15Years together.
00:07:16I never knew this.
00:07:17Yes, well, if you ever met her or my sister, you would understand why.
00:07:22You have a sister?
00:07:24Yep.
00:07:25I'm dizzy.
00:07:27Next you're going to tell me you have a dad.
00:07:28Oh, no, I don't.
00:07:30He died when I was 13.
00:07:31Thank God.
00:07:32His passing kind of ruined my childhood.
00:07:34Sorry.
00:07:35Sorry.
00:07:35No, I meant more like, how much of your real life have you kept hidden from me?
00:07:41Well, let's see.
00:07:43Izzy, sister, was a toddler when our dad died.
00:07:47My mom remarried.
00:07:48And Ken's the only father figure who she's ever really known.
00:07:51Ken?
00:07:52Mm-hmm.
00:07:53And they've been bothering me to come over for dinner ever since I got to my...
00:07:56Hi.
00:07:57Hi.
00:07:58I can't do it.
00:08:00Oh, it's Beverly's Turkey Taco Night.
00:08:03Can I leave early?
00:08:04Yes.
00:08:04Of course.
00:08:05Jealous, you're so close with your mom.
00:08:07Go.
00:08:08It's your mom.
00:08:09Bring her the spices.
00:08:19Sorry.
00:08:20We already gave it the office.
00:08:21Oh, that's good.
00:08:22Here we go.
00:08:24Kidding.
00:08:25Fun.
00:08:26Come on in.
00:08:28Hug.
00:08:29Hello.
00:08:30Hello.
00:08:32You know, I thought you'd look more depressed.
00:08:34You sound disappointed.
00:08:35Well, it's okay to show feelings.
00:08:37Have you been journaling?
00:08:38Morning gratitude?
00:08:39Are these the questions I have to answer before I cross the troll bridge?
00:08:42Mom!
00:08:43Megan's here.
00:08:48Oh, a cypressorize.
00:08:52The Meg!
00:08:53Dad, that's not the compliment you think it is anymore.
00:08:56Sherry, good to see you.
00:08:57Ken, I brought you some spices.
00:08:59Oh!
00:09:00This smells so good.
00:09:01Oh, it's Friday.
00:09:04I'm making the ladies' grown-up Sherry temples on the rock.
00:09:09Wonderful.
00:09:11That good chip lollipop goes down smooth.
00:09:13Thank you, Ken.
00:09:14The bartender's on duty all night.
00:09:15That sounds like my firstborn child, but it couldn't be because that would require she
00:09:21visit me ever beat off the sofa.
00:09:24It is.
00:09:24Oh, poor, poor baby.
00:09:27Time.
00:09:28Time.
00:09:30You know, I just thought you might look a little more depressed.
00:09:33Well, thanks, Mom.
00:09:34How are you?
00:09:35How have you been?
00:09:36Oh, well, I barely survived last week.
00:09:38What happened?
00:09:38My sciatica flared, but Izzy was my nursemaid, and we ordered an ice cream and watched some
00:09:45cozy mysteries.
00:09:46Harrowing tale, so glad you survived.
00:09:48Oh, goody.
00:09:49Oh, the man's finished fixing Izzy's car.
00:09:52Kenny, can you come pay him?
00:09:53Yes, yes.
00:09:54Here I come.
00:09:56And there you go.
00:09:58Oh.
00:09:59Now that you have a new window and I put you on my phone plan, I just feel so much better
00:10:04knowing you're safe, Iz.
00:10:06Thank you, Mom.
00:10:07Love you.
00:10:08Okay, you pay for Izzy's phone?
00:10:10Well, only since her old one got stolen.
00:10:13Yeah, I handed my purse to some girl in the bathroom line for, like, one second.
00:10:18I'm so amazed that she didn't steal your wallet.
00:10:20Oh, there's nothing in there anyways.
00:10:22So, what else did I miss?
00:10:24Well, meeting Izzy's new boyfriend, for one.
00:10:28Woody would be here, but he's waiting to be bailed out.
00:10:32Of jail?
00:10:33Well, street art is his passion.
00:10:35He tried to make a run for it, but, you know, he's not a fitness guy.
00:10:38Hey, Dad.
00:10:54How's it going up there?
00:10:58He's really like the basketball this season.
00:11:00And I think it's our year.
00:11:11I'm finally relaxing after years of nose to the grindstone.
00:11:15You know, one time in 2019, I didn't sleep for three nights.
00:11:19I did that at Burning Man.
00:11:20I was relaunching, yeah.
00:11:21I was relaunching myself.
00:11:23Okay, well, it is not a competition, girls.
00:11:29Ken, tank's empty.
00:11:31These are delish, though.
00:11:32What is the secret ingredient?
00:11:33Alcohol.
00:11:34You know, Megan, why don't you let Ken make you some coffee?
00:11:38You know, sweetie, now that you're not so busy with work all the time.
00:11:43Actually, I'm very busy volunteering at a doghouse.
00:11:45It's a shelter.
00:11:46It's a doghouse shelter.
00:11:47Well, maybe you two sisters could hang out.
00:11:49Sisters.
00:11:50Nothing like sisters.
00:11:52Ken, coffee.
00:11:52No.
00:11:53I love dog rescues.
00:11:55Sure.
00:11:55I mean, it is a good idea, Mom.
00:11:57But I could never take your little Izzy Izzy away from you.
00:12:00What are you talking about?
00:12:04Guys, do not make me say it.
00:12:07You're completely codependent.
00:12:10And Izzy, I love you.
00:12:11You have no ability to take care of yourself.
00:12:14Mom and K-Dog just swoop in and fix everything.
00:12:17Okay, you know what?
00:12:17Izzy is just finding her path.
00:12:20Beth, she's almost 30.
00:12:21It's a road to nowhere.
00:12:22You know what?
00:12:23That's enough, Megan.
00:12:24I'm sorry.
00:12:25Ken, you got a lot of potential.
00:12:28You want to know something?
00:12:28If you let me, I could turn your life right around.
00:12:31I would run it like a corporation,
00:12:33and you would be a big success.
00:12:35Huge.
00:12:35Ken, please.
00:12:37I mean, Megan makes solid points.
00:12:39I want to thank you for that backup, K-Dog.
00:12:41I really do.
00:12:42My mom's right, and I should call a ride share.
00:12:44No, I'll drive you.
00:12:45I don't like you riding any cars with strangers.
00:12:49The Kenpire strikes back.
00:12:51Here we go.
00:12:52Thank you for dinner.
00:12:53Okay.
00:12:55Sweetie, she's just going through a rough time.
00:12:58She's venting.
00:13:10Oh.
00:13:12Ken, I'm coming.
00:13:13I'm coming.
00:13:15Okay.
00:13:18Hi.
00:13:19Uh, if we're about to slap fight,
00:13:21could we do it outside the cleaners?
00:13:23We're just here.
00:13:24Oh, is, is, is.
00:13:27If this is about last night, I didn't mean it.
00:13:30No, you did mean it.
00:13:32Okay, I did, but in much more of like an inside voice kind of a way.
00:13:35You were right.
00:13:36I am almost 30.
00:13:37I'm freaking out.
00:13:38I'm not together.
00:13:39I'm a wreck.
00:13:39I'm not perfect like you.
00:13:40No, no, no.
00:13:41I never said I was perfect.
00:13:42Okay, the last 12 hours since your speech has been a journey.
00:13:45Bigger than when I went to that sound bath in Joshua Tree,
00:13:47and I saw the space wolf.
00:13:50I need coffee for this.
00:13:51I'm freaking out.
00:13:52I need your help.
00:13:53There is a lot of cocktail involved in that.
00:13:55Cocktails tell the truth in Vegas Veritas,
00:13:58or whatever that saying is.
00:14:01Run my life like a corporation.
00:14:03Make me your project.
00:14:05Make decisions for me.
00:14:06Make me a success like you.
00:14:07I'm just not really a success right now is, okay?
00:14:12Just ask my former board of directors.
00:14:15Oh.
00:14:17I will do anything you say.
00:14:20Promise.
00:14:25You really do mean this, don't you?
00:14:27Mom did say she wanted us to hang out.
00:14:30Okay, no, wait.
00:14:31Nope.
00:14:31I get it.
00:14:32I get it now.
00:14:33You're just substituting out mom with me.
00:14:35Nope.
00:14:36No, you could have help.
00:14:37You could have support.
00:14:38Like, what if you built, like,
00:14:39a little board of directors thingy, okay?
00:14:41Or, like, just, like, a really supportive board.
00:14:44I mean, it's not the worst idea.
00:14:46What?
00:14:46Can I just have a good idea?
00:14:47I could see it, actually.
00:14:49Uh, life coach by committee.
00:14:52A team of people to guide you,
00:14:54set you up for success,
00:14:55help you learn to stand on your own two feet.
00:14:57Yes.
00:14:58That.
00:14:58That's what I need.
00:14:59I need that.
00:15:00It's so crazy.
00:15:01It kind of just might work.
00:15:03So, uh, who would we put on this board?
00:15:06Oh, I know someone perfect.
00:15:08Mom.
00:15:08No, absolutely not.
00:15:10Mom is...
00:15:11Izzy, mom is half the problem.
00:15:13We cannot even tell mom about this.
00:15:15But we share everything.
00:15:16She's going to smell this secret on me
00:15:17like onion bagel breath.
00:15:18Izzy, it is time to cut the apron strings.
00:15:21What does that even mean?
00:15:22Okay, it just means...
00:15:23No, mom, you have to promise me.
00:15:25I saw you just crossed your fingers behind your back.
00:15:30How old are we, Izzy?
00:15:31Okay, thank you.
00:15:33Was that so hard?
00:15:35Hmm.
00:15:35Okay.
00:15:36Let me book us some office space.
00:15:38Oh, I know.
00:15:39We can use that place, uh, Lilypad,
00:15:41that co-work place that went under.
00:15:42It'll be perfect.
00:15:43There's nobody there.
00:15:44And I will find our board of directors.
00:15:47Just you.
00:15:48Leave it to me.
00:15:49Oh, come on, come on, come on.
00:15:55Ah, there it is.
00:15:58Hey!
00:16:00That was mine!
00:16:12Izzy!
00:16:13Donut!
00:16:13Don't you dare double dip!
00:16:15Did you just double dare me to do it?
00:16:17Don't eat the hummus.
00:16:18We're ready to go.
00:16:19Music queue's all loaded.
00:16:20Great.
00:16:21Entertaining her is gonna be key.
00:16:26All right.
00:16:27Izzy, come have a seat.
00:16:34Why would you...
00:16:35Okay.
00:16:35It's a nice assortment.
00:16:39All right.
00:16:40Well, without any further ado,

00:17:13It's taking.
00:17:14It's taking.
00:17:14I love an impossible challenge.

00:17:44Yeah, Frank.
00:17:45Okay.
00:17:45Our next board member
00:17:47is the author
00:17:48of an extremely popular
00:17:49email newsletter
00:17:50on love and relationships,
00:17:53soul-sercise.
00:17:54Patsy!
00:17:56Izzy's childhood babysitter.
00:18:06Izzy Bear,
00:18:07come in for us, mother.
00:18:11Izzy was a lovable terror
00:18:12who always went through my purse.
00:18:14I'm excited to see
00:18:16who she'll become.
00:18:18Okay.
00:18:19There's one more person
00:18:21who's late,
00:18:22not impressing me.
00:18:23Curtis,
00:18:24I thought you screened this guy.
00:18:26I did.
00:18:26He was the best applicant
00:18:27from online.
00:18:28Also the only one
00:18:29who wasn't totally bananas.
00:18:31Right.
00:18:32Pardon.
00:18:33Every responsible board
00:18:34must recruit
00:18:35an independent director,
00:18:36meaning someone
00:18:36who has no personal stake
00:18:37in the company,
00:18:38so I'm afraid
00:18:39we can't really proceed
00:18:40until we, I...
00:18:42Oh.
00:18:42Oh, the parking thief.
00:18:48The bubble-hopping guy?
00:18:50Dominique Hayes,
00:18:51chair of psychology
00:18:52at Rossmore College.
00:18:53So, she's a fan of my videos.
00:18:56I would say a fan,
00:18:57more of a algorithmically
00:18:59accidental viewer.
00:19:00And that parking spot
00:19:01was fair game.
00:19:02Why did you respond
00:19:04to the ad?
00:19:04A person's life
00:19:05ran like a corporation.
00:19:07Never hopped into
00:19:07that kind of bubble.
00:19:09Bring it on.
00:19:09Hello, fellow board members.
00:19:23I am Megan,
00:19:24Izzy's sister,
00:19:24and the chairperson
00:19:25of this board.
00:19:27Yes, with a question already.
00:19:29Yeah, I thought the
00:19:30role of chairperson
00:19:31was something
00:19:31we all abode on.
00:19:33Right.
00:19:34Robert's rules of order
00:19:35will be followed
00:19:36by this board.
00:19:37Curtis, are you taking minutes?
00:19:38Always am.
00:19:39Great.
00:19:40Then I formally propose
00:19:42that I be chairperson
00:19:43of this board,
00:19:44unless, of course,
00:19:45anyone else thinks
00:19:46that they are better suited
00:19:47for the job.
00:19:48Not me.

00:20:09and a boyfriend
00:20:10who's not going to sell
00:20:10my TV for burrito money.
00:20:12How about for calzone money?
00:20:14Goals.
00:20:15Limited.
00:20:15Mm-hmm.
00:20:16But nonetheless,
00:20:18goals.

00:21:32is generally
00:21:33on the right track.

00:21:36is mandatory.
00:21:37Well, it's a good thing

00:21:40So,
00:21:41what's your committee assignment?
00:21:43Operations oversight.

00:21:5130th birthday.
00:21:53I know what you're thinking.
00:21:54It's only three months away.
00:21:55Good luck with that.
00:21:56No problem with me.
00:21:57Three months.
00:21:58We can do this
00:21:59with our guidance.
00:22:00Her world
00:22:01will be overhauled.
00:22:03We can help her
00:22:04master the life skills
00:22:05needed to be profitable
00:22:06and successful.
00:22:08Let's do it.
00:22:10Go Izzy.
00:22:11We can do it.
00:22:14Per usual,
00:22:15I'm a miracle worker.
00:22:17Troy Graves,
00:22:18nepple baby
00:22:18to the Graves oil dynasty
00:22:20is looking to impress
00:22:21daddy by investing
00:22:22in startups.
00:22:23And he wants to hear
00:22:24what new app ideas
00:22:25you're cooking up.
00:22:26Seriously?
00:22:27I'm on his radar.
00:22:29He's new to this
00:22:30and isn't in Randall's
00:22:30world of penny business politics.
00:22:32All he needed to hear
00:22:33was how smart you are.
00:22:35Well,
00:22:35I am working
00:22:36on a personal project,
00:22:37sort of a
00:22:38whole life makeover
00:22:39of my sister.
00:22:40Really?
00:22:40Is that a thing?
00:22:41Yeah, yeah.
00:22:42The app idea
00:22:43would be crowdsourcing
00:22:44your most important decisions.
00:22:47Tagline,
00:22:47life coach by committee.
00:22:49Choose the right people
00:22:50and you can't go wrong.
00:22:51I love it.
00:22:51Get your pitch together.
00:22:52I'll circle back.
00:22:58Now,
00:22:58you all know me as Frank.
00:23:00An easygoing,
00:23:02kitten-loving,
00:23:03master of the wood-fired
00:23:04pizza oven.
00:23:06But before I invested
00:23:07my retirement funds
00:23:08into making gourmet pies,
00:23:11I was Frank,
00:23:13the accountant.
00:23:15Dark lord of numbers.
00:23:18Now,
00:23:19Izzy,
00:23:19how do you do your taxes?
00:23:22Frank,
00:23:22doesn't the cash register
00:23:23at work just add that
00:23:24automatically?
00:23:24He means income taxes,
00:23:26sweet pea.
00:23:26You know,
00:23:27I give you a W-2
00:23:28every January.
00:23:29Oh, yes,
00:23:30and I always say thank you.
00:23:32Curtis,
00:23:32check the IRS database
00:23:33for outstanding warrants.
00:23:34Excuse me,
00:23:35um,
00:23:36do you even track
00:23:37your spending?
00:23:38Oh, no,
00:23:38of course I do.
00:23:39I have a whole system.
00:23:40Oh,
00:23:41I even brought it.
00:23:45Shoe boxes
00:23:46for shoe receipts.
00:23:48And then
00:23:49the takeout box
00:23:50is full of all
00:23:51the delivery orders.
00:23:55And
00:23:55you know,
00:23:59I think that's just
00:23:59recycling.
00:24:00Okay,
00:24:01uh,
00:24:01before we
00:24:02learn how to budget,
00:24:03we're gonna learn
00:24:04a new sentence,
00:24:05kitty cat.
00:24:06I can't afford it.
00:24:08You can say it.
00:24:09I can't afford it.
00:24:11I don't want to say that.
00:24:12Come on, Izzy.
00:24:13You agreed.
00:24:15Can I have a bathroom break?
00:24:16Later.
00:24:16Hi.
00:24:18Hi.
00:24:25It's a start
00:24:26and we'll work on it.
00:24:27Okay.
00:24:33You really do get
00:24:34the best spot.
00:24:35I'm strategic.
00:24:36Can't leave
00:24:36these things to chance.
00:24:38Ah,
00:24:38practical life motto.
00:24:39I go after
00:24:40what I want,
00:24:41trying to be
00:24:41a good example
00:24:42to Izzy.
00:24:43Uh-huh.
00:24:43Is that why
00:24:44you're doing this?
00:24:45What do you mean?
00:24:46The psychologist
00:24:47in me wonders
00:24:47what you're getting
00:24:48out of this.
00:24:49Helping my sister.
00:24:52Good night.
00:24:53Good night.
00:24:53After doing
00:24:57a thorough evaluation
00:24:58of Izzy's
00:24:59current inventory.
00:25:00Oh, not my
00:25:01bridesmaid's
00:25:01cabo dress.
00:25:02She said
00:25:02you wear it all again.
00:25:03I've been through
00:25:04four boyfriends
00:25:05in those jeans.
00:25:07Those are my
00:25:08custom-made roller skates.
00:25:11Classic.
00:25:12In a retro way.
00:25:13We keep.
00:25:16Those are working clothes.
00:25:18Those would be great
00:25:18on working women.
00:25:19They'd get a leg up.
00:25:20Mermaids
00:25:21don't have legs.
00:25:23One woman's trash
00:25:24is another woman's
00:25:25Halloween costume.
00:25:27I'm focusing
00:25:28on maximizing
00:25:29our ROI.
00:25:30I won't wear
00:25:31camping clothes.
00:25:32ROI means
00:25:32return on investment.
00:25:34I still won't
00:25:34wear camping clothes.
00:25:35iMotion
00:25:36rebranding Izzy
00:25:38in affordable
00:25:39classic clothing.
00:25:41Ooh, I second.
00:25:47Oh.
00:25:50All of this
00:25:51was in your car trunk?
00:25:52Sample cell rejects?
00:25:54Budget-friendly designer?
00:25:57Is this so real?
00:25:59Yes.
00:26:01Welcome to my world.
00:26:02The show will now begin.
00:26:24Oh.
00:26:24Oh.
00:26:26Wow, look at you, Izzy.
00:26:27Izzy.
00:26:28Looks fantastic.
00:26:29Oh, my God, how fabulous.
00:26:30Oh, my God, how fabulous.
00:26:37Izzy, you look beautiful.
00:26:41Okay, today we are whiteboarding
00:26:43Izzy's new career prospects.
00:26:45Take it away, Frank.
00:26:46Thank you, Megan.
00:26:48I present Izzy's career options.
00:26:51Are you even interested
00:26:56in these fields?
00:26:58Uh, esthetician sounds fun.
00:26:59Oh, I fainted during ear piercing.
00:27:01Well, let's brainstorm careers
00:27:03that don't involve needles.
00:27:04Izzy, logic question.
00:27:06What's your passion in life?
00:27:08Work should bring you joy.
00:27:09Nope, she's had enough joy.
00:27:10That's why we're all here.
00:27:12Uh, Curtis,
00:27:13would you mind reading back
00:27:13the minutes from our first meeting
00:27:15about Izzy's goals?
00:27:16I want to afford nice stuff.
00:27:18That's enough.
00:27:20Is that still true?
00:27:21Yeah.
00:27:22Yeah.
00:27:22Okay, let's work backwards from there.
00:27:25Okay, here we go.
00:27:27There is no money in ear piercing.
00:27:29Half the people in my gym
00:27:30think that they're also yoga teachers,
00:27:32and I am not even addressing clown school.
00:27:34We need to work with Izzy's core competencies,
00:27:38so I drew up a resume.
00:27:39Curtis, if you could, please.
00:27:41This is what will get Izzy the dream job.
00:27:46The most recent job senior provisions
00:27:48courier Frankswood-fired pizza?
00:27:50I upscaled it a little.
00:27:51Branding sales associate
00:27:53Nation One Health Services.
00:27:55Mm, I, uh, handed out sunscreen
00:27:57at Coachella once and got a free ticket.
00:27:59Aren't these kind of a stretch?
00:28:02Yeah, well, they're kind of a stretch
00:28:04that worked.
00:28:05My recruiter friend Yuki
00:28:06just got Iz an interview this Thursday
00:28:08to be the receptionist
00:28:09to a new art gallery.
00:28:11Well, I don't know anything about art.
00:28:13Oh, don't worry, honey.
00:28:14Nobody does.
00:28:16No.
00:28:16Okay, Frank, we'll go over
00:28:17and have your techniques with you.
00:28:19Next action item,
00:28:21Izzy's social media makeover
00:28:23is complete.
00:28:25That's nice.
00:28:26Oh, that's so pretty and clean.
00:28:28Megan had me scattered
00:28:29in some socially relevant
00:28:30inspirational quotes.
00:28:31There's a Marilyn Monroe.
00:28:33Goddess.
00:28:34Give a girl the right pair of shoes
00:28:36and she can conquer the world.
00:28:37Oh, come on.
00:28:39Marilyn Monroe is the most fake
00:28:40quoted woman in history.
00:28:41Says who?
00:28:42Bette Mittler, the one who said that.
00:28:44What?
00:28:45Hocus Pocus 2.
00:28:46Okay.
00:28:46What women want?
00:28:47The point is it's inspirational.
00:28:49I'm clearly getting a lot of likes.
00:28:51Double tap.
00:28:55Yes!
00:28:56So, Izzy doesn't know we're coming?
00:29:04As head of operations oversight,
00:29:06I am leading this unscheduled field trip
00:29:08to check on compliance incognito.
00:29:10In secret?
00:29:11I don't know.
00:29:12Trust is a cornerstone for a relationship.
00:29:14True, but with any kitten I rescue,
00:29:17I consider the soul behind the meow.
00:29:20Frank, you contain multitudes.
00:29:21I can't believe I'm about to see
00:29:22my handiwork at work.
00:29:23Because you did land this job on her own.
00:29:25What do you mean,
00:29:25with my fake resume or Frank's coaching?
00:29:27Give her a little credit.
00:29:27I got it.
00:29:29You first.
00:29:30After you.
00:29:31Why are you making this weird?
00:29:32Because I can.
00:29:32Just let a guy open the door
00:29:33for you with no strings attached.
00:29:34Hi, thanks for coming.
00:29:43If you like anything,
00:29:44I'd like to come in.
00:29:46Hello, Artist Community Gallery?
00:29:48Okay.
00:29:49Uh-huh.
00:29:51No.
00:29:52That one is sold.
00:29:54There she is.
00:29:54Ah, receptionist in the wild.
00:29:56Yeah, you know what?
00:29:57Maybe we'll get another.
00:29:58No, yeah, that's not how it works, is it?
00:30:00Okay.
00:30:01All right, we'll talk later.
00:30:03Hmm.
00:30:04I don't care about whatever this is,
00:30:06but these colors would look great on Izzy.
00:30:08You know, I bet if I could do her colors,
00:30:11I bet she's a spring.
00:30:14You're in my spot.
00:30:15What?
00:30:15Possession's 19th.
00:30:16Well, move it, Tiny.
00:30:18I'll be right back.
00:30:23I could do that.
00:30:26Wait.
00:30:27Could I do that?
00:30:31I mean, what even is this?
00:30:33It's art.
00:30:34Someone's left, Gary.
00:30:36Hmm.
00:30:38I admire the embracement of vacuous space and uncertainty here.
00:30:42Note to self, explore this theme in a series of calzones.
00:30:49Here.
00:30:54Megan?
00:30:57Megan?
00:30:58Monk?
00:30:59What is going on here?
00:31:01Oh, sweetheart, here I was so worried that your social media had been hacked by AI.
00:31:06But no, this, uh, this looks like it's the real deal.
00:31:10Board mission.
00:31:11We've been compromised, I repeat, abort.
00:31:13This outfit?
00:31:14Izzy?
00:31:15Wow.
00:31:16That is not your usual mix-and-match coordinates from the mall.
00:31:20It's gorgeous.
00:31:20Is it real, designer?
00:31:23Uh, yeah.
00:31:23No, it actually is, believe it or not.
00:31:26Uh, Mom, what are you doing here?
00:31:28Well, what are you doing here?
00:31:29What are you both doing here?
00:31:31I was tracking Izzy on her phone because I don't know where you've been lately.
00:31:34You certainly do go to some empty office building a lot.
00:31:37Uh-huh.
00:31:37Those are the lily pad offices, and they hold sample sales there.
00:31:41Mm.
00:31:42Which explains Izzy's new look.
00:31:43Oh.
00:31:44Mm-hmm.
00:31:44And a new job, apparently.
00:31:46Mom, what did you mean by tracked?
00:31:48I put the family scan app on Izzy's new phone.
00:31:51It's just a silly GPS thing.
00:31:53Of course, Ken.
00:31:54He thinks I'm a worry wart, but like Sally Field, not without my daughter.
00:31:59Aw, Mom, you track us?
00:32:01Well, not Megan.
00:32:03Unless you want me to, sweetheart.
00:32:05No, I don't.
00:32:06Uh, Mom, we should probably let Izzy get back to work.
00:32:09Well, what about dinner?
00:32:11I mean, your poor baby sister, she's got to eat.
00:32:14I'm buying.
00:32:16I'm sorry, have we met?
00:32:18Uh, Dominic Hayes.
00:32:20Ah.
00:32:21Yeah.
00:32:21Oh, you two are together.
00:32:24No.
00:32:25I'm a fellow lover.
00:32:26Megan, he's adorbs.
00:32:28Maybe we should all just go to Monsieur Frog's Bistro.
00:32:32Oh, and Izzy, you forgot our appointment.
00:32:34So I just came here.
00:32:36Mom and I have this, uh, tradition where we go to bridal boutiques and we try on dresses
00:32:39and drink free champagne.
00:32:41Uh-huh.
00:32:42What?
00:32:43Oh, you can't tell me that's real.
00:32:44It is if you're engaged.
00:32:45But why?
00:32:46Can't a mother dream?
00:32:48I mean, you girls are not getting any younger.
00:32:50And I want grandchildren.
00:32:52Uh-huh.
00:32:53I, Izzy, you should definitely...
00:32:55Right.
00:32:55Uh, you know what?
00:32:56Sorry, Mom.
00:32:57Um, I have to take this really seriously.
00:32:59Aw.
00:33:00Well, maybe.
00:33:02All right, Mom.
00:33:03We should probably let her.
00:33:04Come on.
00:33:04We can't see any art?
00:33:06That's a very nice one, isn't it?
00:33:07It's wonderful.
00:33:08It's beautiful.
00:33:12Mom, there you are.
00:33:14Look, the bad news is Izzy cannot be your on-call play date anymore, but the good news
00:33:19is you can stop paying her bills.
00:33:21Well, moms like to be needed sometimes.
00:33:23I understand, but please stop tempting her and sabotaging her new career.
00:33:29So, Dominic, how long have you and Megan known each other?
00:33:33Not long, a few weeks.
00:33:35Oh, and what do you do?
00:33:37Oh, please, Mom, no interrogation.
00:33:39Well, excuse me for being curious about your life, Megan.
00:33:42Would be the first time.
00:33:44So, you know, I do have that dinner, Izzy.
00:33:47How about all three of us go together?
00:33:50Actually, we have a whole kind of art crawl thing happening, so we can't make it.
00:33:54It's a lovely offer, Lois.
00:33:55Will rain check?
00:33:56You betcha.
00:33:57So good to see you, Mom.
00:33:58Get home safe.
00:34:00Okay.
00:34:01Goodbye.
00:34:02Lois does not know anything about the board, and it has to stay that way.
00:34:06Why?
00:34:06She seems delightful.
00:34:07She is.
00:34:08She's lovely.
00:34:09And she and Izzy are BFFs, but she totally coddles her, and apparently they go on a weird
00:34:13secret shopping trip.
00:34:14The fake wedding dressing actually sounds fun.
00:34:17I mean, free champagne?
00:34:18What?
00:34:19No, I've never been invited.
00:34:21Uh-huh.
00:34:22Now we're getting somewhere.
00:34:24What does that mean?
00:34:26Oh, no.
00:34:27Oh, no.
00:34:28Do not do that psychology thing where you make me answer my own questions, because I am
00:34:32not jealous about being left out at all.
00:34:34It's understandable if you are.
00:34:36Look, I think your mom wants to hang.
00:34:38This is me?
00:34:40Of course it is.
00:34:41Right out the front.
00:34:42Hmm.
00:34:43Let me.
00:34:43Let me.
00:34:47I'm fine.
00:34:55Here it is.
00:34:56Whiteboard and lights.
00:35:00Our missy here is romantically unmoored.
00:35:03Her little ship's tossed in at the sea because she can't find a reliable port to drop anchor.
00:35:08Okay, yeah, when you see them bunched together like bad bananas.
00:35:13Baby, you want a bow, not a barnacle.
00:35:15Let's fish for a keeper.
00:35:17Way to commit to the nautical theme.
00:35:19Thanks, Frank.
00:35:20Al and I met on a holiday cocktail cruise.
00:35:22The ocean is a metaphor for love.
00:35:24So I motion this pearl, ditch her oyster shell, and find someone new.
00:35:29I second that motion.
00:35:30Time to get on the soul-crushing dating apps.
00:35:33Eh, I don't know.
00:35:35I think Izzy should meet a man doing things she loves.
00:35:38You know, like traffic school or doubling back to get free grocery store samples.
00:35:43Yeah, but that's how she met all the bad bananas.
00:35:45Oh, yeah, not true.
00:35:46Woody and I met in line at the port-a-potty for Lollapalooza.
00:35:49Hmm.
00:35:49All right, we need to get practical.
00:35:51Treat finding love like finding that one perfect pair of jeans.
00:35:56They look good, they feel good, they're just right.
00:36:00All of my online readers swear by truelovesmatch.com.
00:36:04All right, so all in favor of online dating, say aye.
00:36:07Aye.
00:36:08Aye.
00:36:08Aye.
00:36:09He enjoys volleyball, camping, and making authentic Thai food.
00:36:14Let's meet Zach.
00:36:16No.
00:36:17Oh, I'm still getting lost in his eyes.
00:36:19No.
00:36:19He cut himself out from an old photo with an ex-girlfriend.
00:36:21He's clearly not over her.
00:36:22Exactly.
00:36:23It takes one second to take a new selfie.
00:36:26If there's another arm in the photo, it's attached to the hand he wishes he was holding.
00:36:29Mm-hmm.
00:36:30Maybe it's his sister or a friend.
00:36:32It's not.
00:36:33Bullet dodged.
00:36:35Next.
00:36:35All right, let's move on to Steven.
00:36:37He's a doctor who once revived a heart attack victim on an airplane.
00:36:41Sounds promising-ish.
00:36:42Let's see him.
00:36:44Is that supposed to be his niece?
00:36:47Babysitting?
00:36:48Maybe it's his own bambina.
00:36:50Oh, I can't be a stepmom.
00:36:51Online dating is such a needle-in-a-haystack approach.
00:36:54Right?
00:36:55That's why I deleted my dating app.
00:36:56Same.
00:36:56It's just a big bait-and-switch.
00:36:59What if we reverse-engineered this?
00:37:01Figured out what the ideal mate is?
00:37:04I like your blue sky thinking.
00:37:05Let's make a list.
00:37:06Meg loves the list.
00:37:07Mm-hmm.
00:37:08Like, for me, my ideal mate has to be funny.
00:37:10Yes.
00:37:11Sense of humor is a must.
00:37:12And they should also be at least a little bit handy.
00:37:15Like, they could build a medium-level difficulty desk.
00:37:17Exactly.
00:37:18Like, owns an Allen wrench and isn't afraid of a little DIY.
00:37:21Yes.
00:37:21And they have to be a basketball fan, of course.
00:37:24Oh, 100%.
00:37:24Did you catch the game the other night?
00:37:26Legendary.
00:37:27And, you know, just somebody who you feel like you can be yourself around.
00:37:30Someone you can confide in.
00:37:32Yeah, someone who genuinely listens.
00:37:35Yeah.
00:37:36Someone who thinks you're pretty great, just somebody who...
00:37:38Can we get the boat back on course?
00:37:42I'm getting seasick.
00:37:44While you two were so cutely sidetracked with DIY and basketball,
00:37:48Izzy picked Carson, a finance wizard who's into tennis,
00:37:52Japanese whiskey, and Taylor Swift,
00:37:54but only because his niece has twisted his arm.
00:37:56And Patsy already messaged her.
00:37:58Wow.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:00He just asked me out for tonight.
00:38:01Oh, wow.
00:38:02Wait.
00:38:03Patsy, what did you...
00:38:04Don't want to know.
00:38:07Well, that felt quick, but all in favor of Izzy dating Carson, say aye.
00:38:11Aye.
00:38:12Aye.
00:38:13Just don't like the guy.
00:38:14Bad vibes.
00:38:16Oh, Frank.
00:38:16It's a fine option.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:46Professor Hayes, we like Present Ranch in the...
00:39:06Upset Besson.
00:39:07Upset Belfort.
00:39:13Hey, uh, thank you so much for coming over to help out.
00:39:16Yeah, no worries.
00:39:17I was just at home grading papers tonight anyway.
00:39:20Exciting, huh?
00:39:21Oh, yeah.
00:39:22Almost as exciting as my night of wine and doom scrolling.
00:39:25Speaking of grading papers, why a professor of psychology?
00:39:31You really want to know?
00:39:32Yes, I do want to know.
00:39:34Well, I'm fascinated about what makes people tick.
00:39:38What motivates us.
00:39:39Why we do what we do.
00:39:41I moved to America, I got a PhD in psych, but quickly realised I didn't want to be a therapist.
00:39:45Why not?
00:39:47I enjoy the research.
00:39:48Exploring the big picture and the teaching gives me a healthy work-life balance.
00:39:53Oh, right, yeah, like grading papers on a Saturday night kind of work-life balance.
00:39:57Ouch.
00:39:59Madam, why not do it scrolling?
00:40:02Wait a minute.
00:40:03Aha.
00:40:06Rubber gasket shot.
00:40:08Oh, I have more of those.
00:40:09Sometimes, when I'm at Hardware Hamlet, I like to stack up.
00:40:16Yeah, me too.
00:40:18Hmm.
00:40:21Here we go.
00:40:22Okay.
00:40:23And.
00:40:24And.
00:40:26Voila.
00:40:27Oh, that is perfect.
00:40:29I really appreciate you coming over.
00:40:31I didn't think you'd text me back.
00:40:33Didn't even think you really liked me very much.
00:40:35Well, you stole my parking spot.
00:40:36You cannot get over that, can you?
00:40:39Yeah, I have to admit, I've never met anyone like you before.
00:40:44It's refreshing.
00:40:45You've certainly rocked me out of my bubble.
00:40:49Happy to help out.
00:40:52But I am recording the game, if you don't want it to.
00:40:55Oh, you're inviting me to watch the game.
00:40:58Well, I mean, you're the psychology professor, so you tell me.
00:41:01Sure.
00:41:02Yes, yes, yes.
00:41:04Yes!
00:41:05Right?
00:41:06I can't live a little, not worry about a damn thing.
00:41:10Red sides, long sides, get a little, I deserve...
00:41:15What's here?
00:41:22A surprise.
00:41:23Ta-da!
00:41:36It's yours.
00:41:37What?
00:41:39Oh, no way.
00:41:41Thought you'd like it.
00:41:42No, no, no, no way.
00:41:43As in, I can't afford this.
00:41:44See?
00:41:45I practiced.
00:41:46Mm.
00:41:46Actually, you can.
00:41:48Well, I technically paid the deposit in the first six months' rent,
00:41:50but, uh, think of it as a gift to get you out of that roommate situation.
00:41:54Plus, if you stick to the budget that we drew up for you,
00:41:58you absolutely can afford it in this fancy new gallery job.
00:42:03Okay.
00:42:04I will move in under one condition.
00:42:07Hmm.
00:42:08Lunch with Mom.
00:42:09No.
00:42:09Why not?
00:42:10You are too hard on her.
00:42:12I'm not too...
00:42:13Anything on her is.
00:42:14I'm not.
00:42:15Okay, well, I miss her.
00:42:17And I think if we do spend a little time with her,
00:42:20then maybe she wouldn't try to track me down like she did before.
00:42:23Okay, that's fair.
00:42:25Oh, and you guys can meet my new man.
00:42:28Do you mean Carson?
00:42:31Izzy, that's very fast.
00:42:33We've been out twice.
00:42:35You know, Carson talks a lot about work,
00:42:36and, you know, I know it's very important
00:42:38because I don't understand a word he's saying.
00:42:40That's not true, Iz.
00:42:41No, it is.
00:42:42Wait until you see.
00:42:42Okay.
00:42:43What I mean is, Izzy, you're very smart.
00:42:46I got a negative on my SAT.
00:42:48I didn't know that was possible.
00:42:49When you don't show up, it is.
00:42:51Okay.
00:42:51Anyway, I am very much looking forward to meeting Carson.
00:42:54It's really good to meet someone who opens your world up.
00:42:58Oh.
00:42:58Yeah.
00:42:59Who is he?
00:43:01Tell me.
00:43:02I didn't...
00:43:02Tell me, tell me, tell me.
00:43:03Oh, my God.
00:43:05Is it Dominic?
00:43:06How?
00:43:07It is Dominic.
00:43:09It is so cute.
00:43:11Cute?
00:43:12Is it cute?
00:43:12Yes, that he's into you.
00:43:15How can you tell?
00:43:16When was the last time you dated?
00:43:18I remember high-waisted jeans were coming back into style.
00:43:21Oh.
00:43:22Anyway, he did kind of come over the other night.
00:43:25Oh, way to go, sis.
00:43:27Fixed my shower?
00:43:29Anyway, I thought we were talking about you and Carson.
00:43:32I can't wait to meet him.
00:43:33Any well.
00:43:34At lunch.
00:43:35At mom.
00:43:37Hmm.
00:43:38Hmm.
00:43:38Thirty George Washingtons were a cheeseburger.
00:43:45Izzy knows to meet us here, right?
00:43:47Yes.
00:43:48And not Monsieur Frog's Bistro?
00:43:49Yes.
00:43:49Yes, mom.
00:43:50Carson made the reservation.
00:43:52Does he think we're paying?
00:43:53No.
00:43:54Honey, did you bring the airline miles credit card?
00:43:57Dollywood, here we come.
00:43:58Don't worry.
00:43:59Izzy says it's his treat.
00:44:01That this guy makes bank.
00:44:02Oh.
00:44:03Well, when did you talk to Izzy?
00:44:05Um, I can't remember exactly, but it was, it did happen, and it was, it was recently-ish.
00:44:12I hope this is one of those places that send leftovers home in those big foil swans.
00:44:18Oh!
00:44:20He looks chiseled out of marble.
00:44:22The real stuff, not the countertops.
00:44:25Hmm.
00:44:25I could take him in an old school Navy pull-up contest.
00:44:29I am good.
00:44:30Everyone, this is Carson.
00:44:33Izzy told me all about you.
00:44:34Ken.
00:44:35Lois.
00:44:36Megan.
00:44:37Sid, Sid.
00:44:38So, how did you two meet, and why didn't I know anything about this before?
00:44:43Because they, uh, met online, right, Iz?
00:44:45Yep.
00:44:46It's a true love's match.
00:44:48See what I did there?
00:44:49So clever.
00:44:51And Carson, that is a handsome name.
00:44:54So, what is it that you do besides belong to an elegant club?
00:44:59Hedge fund manager.
00:45:00Oh, manager.
00:45:01Now, that sounds very official.
00:45:04How about I order us all the best dishes, and we share?
00:45:07Okay.
00:45:08Okay, we will have two here for my yon's.
00:45:11He's a little different for Izzy.
00:45:13Why?
00:45:13Because he has a job.
00:45:15Well, yes.
00:45:15And he's wearing shoes.
00:45:17They were nice shoes.
00:45:18All right, I make it quick.
00:45:20I'm angry.
00:45:20Wow, you have such a good sense of humor.
00:45:25And he is so smart.
00:45:27Carson's teaching me a lot about his work, like derivatives.
00:45:31Derivatives.
00:45:32That's where it's at.
00:45:33I didn't know that Izzy was interested in money.
00:45:36Besides spending mine.
00:45:37We call it finance, not money.
00:45:40Oh.
00:45:40Well, look at me.
00:45:42I don't know the insider lingo.
00:45:47Catch.
00:45:47Catch.
00:45:48So fascinating.
00:45:55My expertise is in long-short equity strategy.
00:45:58See, now what that is in layman's terms.
00:46:00Taking the long position on a stock on the rise and the short position on a stock on the decline.
00:46:04Hey, sounds like sister took accounting 101.
00:46:08Yeah, actually, I...
00:46:09Never mind.
00:46:10Well, it's all Greek to me.
00:46:12But the Greeks did invent money.
00:46:14And a salad.
00:46:14Um, hey, I thought Dominic was going to be here.
00:46:18Ooh, yes.
00:46:19Art Dominic.
00:46:20I liked him.
00:46:21We're just pals.
00:46:22Oh, is that because you friendzoned him with home repairs?
00:46:25Ooh, girl talk.
00:46:26No girl talk.
00:46:27Denial.
00:46:28Well, you know what?
00:46:29If you girls do want to gossip, we could do a three-way FaceTime.
00:46:32I do it all the time with Jill and Ronna from the baking Reddit.
00:46:36Babe, before I forget, big client drinks tonight.
00:46:40You going to change?
00:46:41Oh.
00:46:42As if it's cocktail attire, you could wear that green dress from the sample sale.
00:46:46Mmm.
00:46:46Oh, uh, do you think gold shoes are black?
00:46:49Oh, black for sure.
00:46:49Well, I am going to have to check out this sample sale myself sometime soon.
00:46:55Mmm.
00:46:56Mmm.
00:46:57Thank you so much.
00:46:58Oh.
00:47:00Okay.
00:47:00Call me.
00:47:01All right, I will.
00:47:01I will.
00:47:02I will.
00:47:03Okay.
00:47:04Bye.
00:47:04Bye.
00:47:04Something is going on here.
00:47:12Yeah, Mom, Izzy finally decided to adult.
00:47:14Does this have something to do with that dinner party monologue from last month?
00:47:18Mom, why would you say that?
00:47:19Well, new look, new job, new boyfriend.
00:47:23All without consulting me.
00:47:27I just hope she's happy.
00:47:28Of course she's happy.
00:47:29Why wouldn't she be?
00:47:30This is everything she's ever wanted.
00:47:32Is it?
00:47:33Okay, what does that mean?
00:47:37No.
00:47:38Nothing.
00:47:42Six swans a-swimming, leftovers for K-Daw.
00:47:45Oh.
00:47:45Let's get Lois home.
00:47:48Yeah, I'll hold them.
00:47:49Yeah, just give them to me.
00:47:50Be very gentle with them, very gentle with them.
00:47:52Delicate.
00:47:53See you later, Meggert.
00:47:54See you, K-Pop.
00:47:56Thank you, my man.
00:48:03Bill.
00:48:20Bill.
00:48:21Bill.
00:48:21Bill.
00:48:22Hmm, so many bills.
00:48:23Wow.
00:48:23So much boring mail.
00:48:25No, uh, no Carson today?
00:48:27Oh, he's in Vegas for a bachelor party for one of his bros.
00:48:30Private plane, pricey cigars, high stakes, poker.
00:48:33Sounds boring.
00:48:35They're great.
00:48:36Hmm.
00:48:36Hey, uh, is, are you, um, are you happy with Carson?
00:48:42Well, it's what the board chose, right?
00:48:44Yeah, but that's not really what I'm asking.
00:48:47Isn't that my mail?
00:48:49Oh, well, it's not mine.
00:48:50That's very 1990s.
00:48:53Ah, is that a party invitation?
00:48:56Same.
00:48:58Looks like Marjorie's turning the big 7-0.
00:49:01She was my board member.
00:49:02It'd be scheduled.
00:49:03She was the only one who I actually liked.
00:49:05Well, I love a party.
00:49:06Let's go.
00:49:07Oh, no, Izzy, it's not like that kind of a party.
00:49:10It's gonna be, you know, fancy champagne, classical music.
00:49:14It's just corporate chit-chat.
00:49:15Will you have me at free champagne?
00:49:17Izzy, first of all, there's no such thing as free champagne.
00:49:19Why?
00:49:21Look, Randall's gonna be there, okay?
00:49:24That trash basket that ousted you from your job?
00:49:26That very trash basket.
00:49:28Well, who cares?
00:49:29If Marge wants you to be there, you should go.
00:49:34No, you know what?
00:49:35You're right.
00:49:36I should not let Randall dictate my social schedule.
00:49:40Exactly.
00:49:42So what are we wearing?
00:49:45It's just wild to me that Carson goes to this club, too.
00:49:49I mean, I just can't believe that all rich people belong to the same one.
00:49:52It certainly does seem that way.
00:49:54Oh, thank you.
00:49:59Izzy, you, Izzy, you can't.
00:50:02There's Marjorie, birthday girl, guest of honor.
00:50:06Hi, Marge.
00:50:07Happy birthday.
00:50:09Work it, girl.
00:50:11Oh, sorry.
00:50:17Nice crowd.
00:50:21I thought that was you, Megs.
00:50:24Randall, what a surprise.
00:50:26Oh, you're the surprise.
00:50:28You look great.
00:50:29I, uh, thought you'd look more depressed.
00:50:32That's my point.
00:50:33Joke stealer.
00:50:34Actually, no.
00:50:35I've never been happier.
00:50:37And free.
00:50:38Free of these schedules, plummeting stock now that Megan Moore isn't at the helm.
00:50:42Frank, help me watch the stock market.
00:50:43Good job.
00:50:44Well, every stock has a down day.
00:50:46And where have I heard that before?
00:50:48Brandy, firing my sister was a big mistake.
00:50:52Epic.
00:50:53You and the board might think you're flying high, but you aren't.
00:50:56Wonder why Megan looks so great?
00:50:57She's got the wind beneath her wings.
00:50:59What is this nonsense?
00:51:01It's called a clap back.
00:51:02Don't try to keep up.
00:51:04If you'll excuse me, I'll be here.
00:51:07Taking my leave.
00:51:08Perfect.
00:51:09My work is done here.
00:51:12Hmm.
00:51:13Izzy, that was incredible.
00:51:15You really had my back just then.
00:51:18Why do you sound so surprised?
00:51:19Well, I don't know.
00:51:22I haven't exactly always or maybe even ever been there for you in sisterly back-up moments like that.
00:51:28Better late than never.
00:51:29Let's celebrate.
00:51:31Can we get some lemon drop shots?
00:51:33No, it sounds awful.
00:51:34That's what everyone says at first.
00:51:35Come on.
00:51:36Now lean to the back.
00:51:37Lean to the back.
00:51:38Now lean to the back.
00:51:39Lean to the back.
00:51:40Now triple those hips.
00:51:41Triple those hips.
00:51:43Make your body want to have a heart attack.
00:51:44Now pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.
00:51:49Now stop.
00:51:50Wait for the drop.
00:51:52Do not be fooled by their cuteness.
00:51:54They are smart and wily creatures.
00:51:56I never even knew you liked dogs.
00:51:58But you know we had a dog before you were born, right?
00:52:02You did?
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:04Well, he was mostly dad's dog.
00:52:06Gus.
00:52:06He was a basset hound.
00:52:07Why am I just hearing about this?
00:52:09I can't believe mom never talks about Gus.
00:52:11Or dad.
00:52:12She's just worried what Ken will think.
00:52:14And I think she's probably very sad.
00:52:16What was Gus like?
00:52:17Oh, he was the very best.
00:52:20He was obsessed with the mailman.
00:52:22He had these velvet ears.
00:52:23Past gas, it would clear a room.
00:52:25He sounds perfect.
00:52:27He really was.
00:52:28I remember when he died, he told me this story about how Gus had crossed over to the
00:52:34other side of the Rainbow Bridge and how he was playing with puppies on the other side.
00:52:38I wasn't really sure if I bought it, to be honest with you, but I could tell it made
00:52:43dad feel better, so I went along with it.
00:52:45Sweet.
00:52:46I wish I had more memories with dad like you do.
00:52:51Hey, you know I'd love to talk with you about that stuff like any time, right?
00:52:55I'm really glad we're doing this, you know, hanging out as sisters.
00:53:00Me too.
00:53:03Hey, do you remember that time I went roller skating?
00:53:05Oh, how could I forget?
00:53:07You taught me everything I know.
00:53:08I remember being so nervous for Leslie Parker's roller derby themed party.
00:53:12And then look at me, I crushed seventh grade.
00:53:14Pretty much a big deal now.
00:53:16I don't know what I would have done if you didn't teach me how to stop.
00:53:20Guess who Troy Graves and his moolah want to meet with tomorrow?
00:53:24Cute.
00:53:24Oh, that is the best news.
00:53:27I told him all about your sister Fixer project.
00:53:29He loves this idea of a crowdsourcing decisions app.
00:53:32Oh, that's fantastic.
00:53:33I mean, I'm still very much in, you know, the strategy and development phase, but it is
00:53:37going so well.
00:53:39I mean, the change in Izzy's life has been unreal.
00:53:41And that's what the many people like to hear.
00:53:43Go do this.
00:53:44It's my finder's fee on the line.
00:53:45And it's my second chance.
00:53:47Thank you, Yuki.
00:53:51Yes!
00:53:52Oh, okay.
00:53:56Okay.
00:53:57Got it, got it, got it.
00:53:59Right, right, right.
00:54:02Okay, okay.
00:54:03Okay, so we've been talking about the five steps of the psychology of change.
00:54:21Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance.
00:54:27Now, while the steps sound like a steady forward progression, the model actually represents
00:54:33a spiral because individuals are individual.
00:54:39Each marches to the beat of their own drummer.
00:54:42Recycling through the steps is often the rule, not the exception.
00:54:46Okay, read chapters 14 to 18 by next class.
00:54:51Have a great weekend, everyone.
00:55:03Auditing my intro into psych class.
00:55:05Yeah, a little bit.
00:55:06Something you said actually stuck with me.
00:55:09Do you worry that Izzy's, you know, kind of destined to cycle back through the stages
00:55:15of change?
00:55:16Well, do you?
00:55:17Kind of.
00:55:18I mean, think about it.
00:55:20Historically, she's been a pretty...
00:55:21Wait, you're doing that thing.
00:55:23You're doing that thing where you're going to make me answer my own questions again.
00:55:26I'm not falling for it.
00:55:27Hey, I actually have some news.
00:55:31I have a meeting with a startup investor tomorrow.
00:55:34Wow, congrats.
00:55:35That's fantastic.
00:55:37Funny enough, Izzy M Inc. actually gets the credit.
00:55:40The concept is life coach by committee, so, you know, in an app format.
00:55:45And what does Izzy think?
00:55:46Oh, I mean, we're still in the talking concept stage.
00:55:49I'll let her know when there's something to know.
00:55:51Oh, a heads up wouldn't hurt.
00:55:53It's early, you know.
00:55:54I don't want to jinx anything.
00:55:56Besides, if it goes forward, I'd involve her in the development process.
00:56:00Sister, sister, win.
00:56:02Well, if you think so, but I think Izzy's in this for the sisterly bonding.
00:56:06Not the business, you know, the emotional connection.
00:56:09She thinks this is real.
00:56:11It is real.
00:56:12We walked rescue dogs the other day.
00:56:14It was a very bonding moment.
00:56:18Thanks again.
00:56:19No more drinks.
00:56:20Thanks.
00:56:21You, um, no, you could have returned this at the next board meeting.
00:56:24Oh, I was in the neighborhood.
00:56:26By way of many other totally unrelated neighborhoods.
00:56:30Are you free for dinner tonight?
00:56:33Yeah, what were you thinking?
00:56:35Oh, there's a fantastic little gourmet market near your place.
00:56:38Oh, nice.
00:56:39You want to have dinner at a grocery store?
00:56:42Not quite.
00:56:43You did throw me there for a minute.
00:56:48I like to keep you on your toes.
00:56:52Lois gave me that pan as a gift for Christmas last year.
00:56:55Cannot wait to tell her someone used it.
00:56:58I take you don't cook?
00:56:58Oh, I realized after I left the schedule that there's kind of a lot of things that I don't do.
00:57:04Yeah, I don't cook.
00:57:05I don't meditate.
00:57:06Don't really date.
00:57:09That's, um, Lois doesn't teach you any beloved family recipes?
00:57:12Oh, no, she definitely did.
00:57:13They all just start with a can of soup or some tater tots.
00:57:16I mean, not that I blame her.
00:57:18She was pretty busy.
00:57:20She had her hands full raising Izzy and I by herself after her dad died in a heart attack.
00:57:26Um, sorry, that's, that's brutal.
00:57:29Yeah, look.
00:57:33Dad.
00:57:36He looks like a good guy.
00:57:38Oh, the best.
00:57:38Like, best, best guy.
00:57:44My mom gave me this, so I'll always have him close to my heart.
00:57:48It's nice.
00:57:49It's kind of crazy to think about that just overnight, Lois was a single working mom of an incredibly willful toddler
00:57:55and a very grumpy teen.
00:57:58I remember being just so mad.
00:58:00I was so mad that my dad had died with a stupid reaction, right?
00:58:04Ah, seems like a totally normal adolescent reaction.
00:58:07Yeah, I remember just kind of wanting to push everyone away.
00:58:11It just seemed easier somehow.
00:58:14And safer?
00:58:15Yeah.
00:58:16I didn't want to talk about it.
00:58:18Figured it wouldn't change anything.
00:58:19I remember kind of pretending to process everything.
00:58:23I wanted them to think I had everything under control.
00:58:27Wanted to think that you could work these out your own way.
00:58:29Self-reliance is kind of my superpower.
00:58:31Because you like doing things on your own.
00:58:34Put it this way.
00:58:35I was already away at college when my mom met Ken.
00:58:38And Izzy was still in grade school.
00:58:39So they formed their own little family unit.
00:58:42And I forged my own path.
00:58:44And an impressive path, that is.
00:58:47You know, it's not too late to befriend your mom.
00:58:51You know, tell her how you feel.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:55I don't know.
00:58:59This is so good.
00:59:00What did you put on the chicken?
00:59:02Don't think I didn't notice you just changed the subject.
00:59:05Well, I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know.
00:59:06Lemon zest.
00:59:11But the secret?
00:59:13Adding just a little bit of paprika.
00:59:15Really?
00:59:16Mm-hmm.
00:59:18I mean, you cooked everything.
00:59:20You didn't have to wash the dishes as well.
00:59:22Oh, look.
00:59:23I'm an overachiever.
00:59:24I do like that about you.
00:59:26Well, um, goodnight.
00:59:29Night.
00:59:33Before I forget.
00:59:36I've been nervous about ya.
00:59:42Are you making a move?
00:59:47Goodnight.
00:59:48And I'm starting to doubt ya.
00:59:53Don't ask me to choose.
00:59:55Going and going and going.
01:00:01And so I told Miller, I'll eat you alive for lunch if you mess with my performance compensation with your soft hurdle rates.
01:00:09Actually, I'll order for myself.
01:00:10I've got it.
01:00:11You just keep bringing the gorgeous.
01:00:12You bring another fresh round of drinks.
01:00:15Hmm.
01:00:17I looked up your sis.
01:00:19High net worth.
01:00:21Does she need a financial advisor?
01:00:22You know, you never actually ask about my life.
01:00:28Uh, sure.
01:00:29Can you ask your sister if she needs a financial advisor?
01:00:31That's what the kids call my trend.
01:00:45Okay.
01:00:46Who's adopted a kid?
01:00:48Are you still using the schedule?
01:00:49Oh, yeah.
01:00:50I like the structure and order.
01:00:52You?
01:00:52Really?
01:00:53Yeah.
01:00:54I, um, I texted you.
01:00:57You didn't text back.
01:00:58Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:00:59Um, about the other night.
01:01:01I had a really lovely time.
01:01:02But, um, it was unprofessional.
01:01:04It's totally against the board of director bylaws.
01:01:07You know those bylaws are made up, right?
01:01:08Yeah, by me.
01:01:09I take them very seriously.
01:01:11Do you ever not get too much inside your own head?
01:01:13What?
01:01:13Yeah, good luck.
01:01:15My head, my rules.
01:01:16I officially call this meeting to order.
01:01:19Curtis, uh, no old business today.
01:01:21Quick agenda.
01:01:22New business only.
01:01:23I want to dump Carson.
01:01:25I motioned we do that or whatever.
01:01:27Huh?
01:01:27I told you so.
01:01:28I told you.
01:01:29Well, I thought you liked Carson.
01:01:30Well, you never did.
01:01:31Why do you want me to?
01:01:32It's a valuable performance metric.
01:01:33Well, that's not really why to describe someone.
01:01:35Do you guys know that Mondays happen every week?
01:01:37Like, every week.
01:01:38They just keep happening.
01:01:40You know, and I show up to the art gallery at 9 a.m.
01:01:42and my life is just a constant snooze button.
01:01:44And I answer boring phone calls and I have a boring day
01:01:46and I scroll boring social media.
01:01:48I'm sorry, Jill.
01:01:49But it's true.
01:01:50Yeah.
01:01:51And then meanwhile, all my friends are just, you know,
01:01:53living their best lives, crashing yacht parties
01:01:55and getting sunburned at music festivals
01:01:56and just making questionable decisions.
01:01:58Really cool things that I am not allowed to do.
01:02:01Okay, Izzy, those are just future regrets.
01:02:03Well, my past future regrets were good stories.
01:02:06Okay?
01:02:07Not like fixing a shower.
01:02:08Fixing a shower?
01:02:10I'm so lost.
01:02:12Day one, we all agreed to keep Izzy's best interest front and center.
01:02:16So, let's open discussions on Izzy's proposals.
01:02:19These are not proposals.
01:02:20These are complaints.
01:02:21Either way, we debate the pros and cons and put things to a vote.
01:02:25Robert's rules of order, right?
01:02:26Great.
01:02:26Which we will do when we reconvene,
01:02:29but I have to go because I have an appointment.
01:02:31No, no.
01:02:32What kind of appointment?
01:02:33There's nothing on your calendar.
01:02:35It's an emergency to Root Canal.
01:02:36I will see you when we reconvene on Monday.
01:02:40I mean, does it hurt?
01:02:41Who wears a chic wide-legged pantsuit to a Root Canal?
01:02:45My father is still stuck in the fossil fuels of last century.
01:02:48Well, Mr. Graves,
01:02:49those fossil fuels got you some pretty sweet office space.
01:02:52I think the future is connectivity.
01:02:54I agree.
01:02:55I am all about in-person connectivity.
01:02:57No, no, no, no.
01:02:57Like, connecting to our phones.
01:03:01Yuki said you're spearheading a whole-life transformation for your own sister.
01:03:05How does that work, exactly?
01:03:07Drawing upon my time at Bescheduled,
01:03:09I assembled a skilled board of directors.
01:03:12The mission?
01:03:13A total reorg of Izzy's life.
01:03:15No, committees were formed to impact every bucket of her life.
01:03:19Career, relationship, appearance.
01:03:22And the same can be true for subscribers to our app using their contacts.
01:03:26Wow.
01:03:27Hi.
01:03:33Hi.
01:03:35Please.
01:03:40You're a regular here?
01:03:42No, not really.
01:03:44Just kind of seemed like a good idea.
01:03:46Neutral territory.
01:03:48About the other day, I'm sorry.
01:03:52Yeah, me too.
01:03:53I shouldn't have said what I did.
01:03:55About getting so much in my own head?
01:03:57Yeah, like, I totally understand.
01:03:59I'm a complete head case, you know.
01:04:01Sorry.
01:04:02Hold on one second.
01:04:03Yeah.
01:04:04Yeah.
01:04:04Hi, this is Megan.
01:04:07What?
01:04:08The police?
01:04:11Yes.
01:04:11Yes, of course.
01:04:12I will be right there.
01:04:14Bye.
01:04:15That was Izzy's apartment manager.
01:04:16Apparently, she threw a little party.
01:04:18Well, it sounds like a good one if the cops are called.
01:04:20Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:04:26No, no, no.
01:04:27Not the throw pillows.
01:04:32Hello?
01:04:33Come on in.
01:04:38Izzy.
01:04:39What?
01:04:40What has happened here?
01:04:42A party.
01:04:43Yes, I can seat that.
01:04:45Who is this?
01:04:46Oh, I'm Woody.
01:04:47Short for Woody.
01:04:49Street art ex-con.
01:04:50Um, I can hear you.
01:04:52And then I told you I was done with Carson.
01:04:54I couldn't listen to one more word about arbitration or gross exposure.
01:04:57So you thought you'd just throw a little soiree to celebrate your newfound singlehood?
01:05:00Actually, no.
01:05:01This is to celebrate that I quit my gallery job.
01:05:05Without consulting anyone on the board?
01:05:08Izzy, you agreed.
01:05:09This was your idea.
01:05:11And then you invited your weird friends over to trash your apartment.
01:05:13This has been so hard, Meg.
01:05:16Izzy, once again, you have made a gigantic mess.
01:05:20And you just expect someone else to come in and clean it up.
01:05:23I thought that you had changed.
01:05:33Whoa, just wait a second.
01:05:35What?
01:05:35Don't you think you're being just a little hard on Izzy?
01:05:38Izzy is backsliding or regressing or whatever the term is.
01:05:41All of our hard work, poof, it's gone.
01:05:44Maybe Izzy's just being true to her own nature.
01:05:47Well, yeah.
01:05:47So then what was the point of this entire experiment?
01:05:50Granted, this whole thing was a life makeover for Izzy.
01:05:52But you know it's become bigger than that.
01:05:55Do you want to get some dinner?
01:05:56I can cook.
01:05:57We can talk some more.
01:05:58I'm sorry.
01:05:59I just don't feel like I'm very good company right now.
01:06:02Do I be okay if we talked after the next meeting?
01:06:05Yeah, of course.
01:06:06We can wait until then.
01:06:08Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
01:06:25Okay.
01:06:28Hi.
01:06:28Hi.
01:06:29So, uh, what happened?
01:06:32Troy wants to jump right into the analysis and planning stage of app development with you
01:06:36taking charge.
01:06:37His lawyers are already talking finances and budgets.
01:06:41Wow.
01:06:41Oh, I mean, that is, that is, that's just really fast.
01:06:45You know, I haven't even had a chance to tell Izzy about this yet.
01:06:48Boy, you better fill her in or the press release will.
01:06:51Okay, um, Yuki, I feel like maybe I should probably tell you that the, uh, Izzy M Inc.
01:06:56experiment kind of, kind of imploded.
01:06:58Nope, not listening.
01:06:59I don't want to hear how the inspiration for the app is a dud.
01:07:02Be psych, girl boss.
01:07:03New chapter.
01:07:04All right.
01:07:06New chapter.
01:07:07New chapter.
01:07:08Thanks.
01:07:09Hey, guys.
01:07:10So, uh, before we start, I have news.
01:07:14And, uh, it's kind of big, so, uh, I'm just suddenly feeling like I've missed something.
01:07:21What's going on?
01:07:22Izzy?
01:07:24Izzy, what is happening?
01:07:27What?
01:07:27Why are you-
01:07:28How could you betray me like this?
01:07:30What?
01:07:32Curtis, what?
01:07:33She doesn't know, does she?
01:07:35I'll do the honors.
01:07:37Entrepreneur Troy Graves is partnering with startup hotshot Megan Moore to develop a revolutionary
01:07:43life coach by committee app.
01:07:46Quote, Megan brings unprecedented skill to the creation of this product, just as she did
01:07:50with her unorthodox approach of applying the principles of business to successfully overhaul
01:07:56her own sister's life.
01:07:57Press release goes on the list.
01:07:59Some examples of how the art can capitalize on them.
01:08:02And they use Izzy's full name, too, which is wrong.
01:08:06You guys, I-I very much understand that this looks really bad, but please, let me explain.
01:08:12The press release was really not supposed to come out this soon.
01:08:16Should not have mentioned you.
01:08:17But listen, when I tell you about this, you're gonna be excited.
01:08:20Excited?
01:08:21Yeah, no, you used me.
01:08:23Izzy M. Inc., this board, the whole thing was just for your own career resuscitation.
01:08:29No.
01:08:30Not even close.
01:08:32Izzy, the whole investor thing of it all, that started after we began.
01:08:38This has always been about helping you.
01:08:40Helping me or helping me become you?
01:08:42My whole life, I looked up to perfect Megan, but she didn't even know I was there.
01:08:50I just got left behind.
01:08:53I was left behind.
01:08:55You always had Mom.
01:08:57You had Ken.
01:08:57You know, Mom would always say that, oh, we don't gotta worry about Megan.
01:09:00She's got a good head on her shoulders.
01:09:02Oh, really?
01:09:03Mom said that?
01:09:03Yeah.
01:09:04Figures.
01:09:05Yeah.
01:09:05And what does that mean for me, huh?
01:09:07That I'm the screw-up?
01:09:09Because maybe I should just own it.
01:09:11Izzy, I had no idea.
01:09:13Of course not, because up until a few months ago, we barely spoke.
01:09:18Are you embarrassed of me?
01:09:20No.
01:09:21No.
01:09:22Because I thought that this whole experiment would bring us together and make me more like you,
01:09:28and that I would fit more into your bubble, and, like, you would like me.
01:09:33Of course I like you.
01:09:34Who wouldn't like you?
01:09:35Yeah, but you know what I learned through all this?
01:09:38I might be a disaster, but I'm a happy disaster.
01:09:42Megan, all you care about is being perfect, and on schedule, and making sure you have everything
01:09:48right.
01:09:50But you don't even know what happiness feels like.
01:09:53But I know that doesn't really matter to you, because, um, you're on top now as a big
01:09:58CEO.
01:10:01What does it matter about the casualties along the way?
01:10:03I do love to design your bargain.
01:10:16Oh, is this the sample sale?
01:10:20Oh, Pitsy, what are you doing here?
01:10:26Frank?
01:10:27Megan, what is going on?
01:10:29Izzy can fill you in.
01:10:31Mom.
01:10:32And, uh, I resign.
01:10:34Effective immediately.
01:10:36So, um, Curtis, maybe you...
01:10:41Right.
01:10:43Megan?
01:10:50Oh, sweetheart.
01:10:55It's okay.
01:10:56It's okay.
01:10:56Is he?
01:11:13Is he?
01:11:13I tried to stay mad, but my mom wisely said, to err is human.
01:11:26To forgive, divine.
01:11:28I don't think Beverly can...
01:11:29Oh, she sent over a fresh batch of booch?
01:11:33Come on.
01:11:38I, uh, really screwed up, didn't I?
01:11:41Pretty much.
01:11:43So what happened after I left?
01:11:45Board's dissolved.
01:11:46Experiment over.
01:11:48I did get to hang out with Lois, though.
01:11:50Can't believe she didn't try to take over.
01:11:53It's, uh, kind of Lois's M.O.
01:11:55Izzy didn't want her to.
01:11:57Oh, man, I just, I really messed up with Izzy.
01:12:00I have no idea how to make this up to her.
01:12:02Can't help you there.
01:12:03Hmm.
01:12:05Hey, um, I have some other kind of bad news,
01:12:10which is that I...
01:12:12I decided not to take Troy Graves' money.
01:12:16It just didn't feel like the right thing to do anymore.
01:12:18I'm sorry.
01:12:19Oh, I wasn't coming with you anyway.
01:12:22What?
01:12:23Why not?
01:12:24You weren't the only one secretly taking meetings.
01:12:28Curtis!
01:12:28I got a social media job at the Initiator Press.
01:12:32You're...
01:12:33That's wonderful.
01:12:34I'm so happy for you.
01:12:39Good job, Curtis.
01:12:45So what are you gonna do?
01:12:47I don't know.
01:12:51But you know what?
01:12:52I am overdue doing this.
01:12:57Bye-bye, bescheduled.
01:13:00Izzy's right.
01:13:01I am the tragic one.
01:13:03I've been so busy trying to have control over absolutely everything that I...
01:13:07I haven't been living.
01:13:09Well, like my mom always says,
01:13:11you need to go find your smile.
01:13:13Curtis, your mom.
01:13:18Curtis, your mom's right.
01:13:20She always is.
01:13:23Yeah.
01:13:24We should have told you, mom.
01:13:31Well, I knew something was going on.
01:13:33I call it mom tuition.
01:13:35Right.
01:13:36Believe me, I was happy that you girls were spending time together, but...
01:13:39I didn't know you formed a corporation.
01:13:42We're having board meetings.
01:13:43Which is a very clever idea, actually.
01:13:48I'm just a little sad you didn't want me to be a part of it.
01:13:51I'm sorry, mom.
01:13:52I am.
01:13:53I do know what it feels like to be excluded.
01:13:55Honey, I never meant for you to feel left out of the family.
01:13:59You just always seemed like you didn't need us.
01:14:02That's not true.
01:14:05Megan, you're so together.
01:14:08Whereas Izzy is...
01:14:10Izzy.
01:14:11I know.
01:14:11And I know how you must have thought I was playing favorites, but I love each of my girls equally.
01:14:25Thank you, mom.
01:14:26I, uh...
01:14:27Yeah, I think I actually did need to hear that, so...
01:14:32I miss dad.
01:14:38I do, too.
01:14:39And, by the way, I do know that you were just doing the best you could with Izzy.
01:14:45I get that now.
01:14:46And you were doing the best you could with your board of directors thing.
01:14:51Yes.
01:14:51But really, I think I was just trying to become a version of you.
01:14:54Just swoop in, try to fix everything, and...
01:14:57Well, we're fixers no more, because little baby bird Izzy has blown the nest.
01:15:02Really?
01:15:02Yeah.
01:15:02She's still not really speaking to me.
01:15:06Well, I told her you weren't doing the app anymore, but she does still have that voodoo doll in her bedroom.
01:15:13Looks remarkably like you, actually.
01:15:15She's very talented when she's mad.
01:15:19She did sign up for a yoga teacher training course, and she's studying to get her esthetician license.
01:15:25She did pass ear piercing.
01:15:27Wow.
01:15:29She's giving herself options.
01:15:30That's very smart.
01:15:31Yeah.
01:15:32And she missed her friends in that nutty home she was in before.
01:15:36So she negotiated herself out of that new apartment lease if she promised to clean it up, and she did.
01:15:43Wow.
01:15:43Woody helped her paint, and your art friend Dominic, he fixed a cabinet door.
01:15:49God, he is so handy, that man.
01:15:51Mm-hmm.
01:15:52Didn't realize that Izzy and Dominic were still in touch.
01:15:55Yeah.
01:15:56Seems so.
01:15:57Izzy said the whole board is still friends.
01:16:01That's good.
01:16:03And Izzy is not getting back together with Woody.
01:16:08After the whole Carson thing, she decided to go boy sober for a while, and she's dating herself.
01:16:15Like, that's gonna get me grandchildren.
01:16:17Mom, I'm kidding.
01:16:19I can joke, you know.
01:16:21Oh, I know.
01:16:22Oh, look at this.
01:16:28She looks great.
01:16:30Well, yes, but look, her feet aren't on my couch.
01:16:33She's found her own path.
01:16:36About time.
01:16:40Hey, I was thinking, after this, we could maybe go on a mother-daughter bonding experience.
01:16:49Oh, you look beautiful.
01:17:04Oh, you look beautiful.
01:17:05Thank you, Mom.
01:17:06Yeah.
01:17:07Okay.
01:17:10You know, there's so many other ways to have champagne.
01:17:13For example, we could go somewhere and I could buy you some.
01:17:16Please let me live out my fantasy of being mother of the bride.
01:17:19Okay, fine.
01:17:20Okay, fine.
01:17:23Oh.
01:17:24All right.
01:17:24All right.
01:17:25You got me.
01:17:26Admit it.
01:17:27I guess this is kind of fun.
01:17:28Only because of how weirdly happy it makes you.
01:17:32You know, I really like that Dominic fella.
01:17:37Yeah, I really did, too.
01:17:39It's just one of the many things I've screwed up lately.
01:17:45Hey, Mom.
01:17:46Mm-hmm?
01:17:47I'm having an idea about Izzy and her upcoming birthday.
01:17:49It involves getting the gang back together and a whole lot of apologizing slash explaining that I have to do.
01:17:55Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:18:25Okay.
01:18:43Dad, where are we?
01:18:45Here we go.
01:18:47Okay.
01:18:50Surprise!
01:18:55You guys, this is better than anything you could ask for.
01:18:59Oh, it wasn't us.
01:19:00It was all Megan.
01:19:02Happy birthday, Izzy.
01:19:03Happy birthday!
01:19:05Happy birthday!
01:19:06Happy birthday!
01:19:09I can't believe them.
01:19:11Oh!
01:19:15Hey, happy 30, Izzy.
01:19:17What are you doing here?
01:19:19Happy birthday!
01:19:23Oh, my goodness.
01:19:24Hi!
01:19:25Happy birthday!
01:19:26Wow!
01:19:26Good to see you guys in the...
01:19:28Hi!
01:19:29Oh!
01:19:32Hi.
01:19:33Hey.
01:19:35I, uh, I know you love a party.
01:19:37This just seemed a lot more, you know, like you, surprises and all.
01:19:42I owe you a really big apology.
01:19:43I do, because I, uh, I tried to change you, and I absolutely never should have done that.
01:19:53Izzy, you have the biggest heart, and, uh, I just hope that there's still room in it for me.
01:20:01Uh, well, I did come to you asking for my life to be transformed before my 30th birthday.
01:20:12And it is.
01:20:13Just, maybe not the way either of us imagined.
01:20:16All right.
01:20:17I hope you know that you changed my life, too.
01:20:20Oh, yes, I know.
01:20:21You don't have a big stick up yet.
01:20:22I was gonna say I learned to live a little.
01:20:24Mm-hmm.
01:20:24I love it just the way you are.
01:20:29I love you.
01:20:32Oh, okay.
01:20:33Can we have lemon drop shots now?
01:20:35Yes.
01:20:38Let's invite Mom.
01:20:39Oh!
01:20:40Okay.
01:20:42All right.
01:20:42Bring it in.
01:20:43Hey.
01:20:43Cheers, guys.
01:20:44Cheers, Izzy's birthday.
01:20:45Cheers, Izzy's birthday.
01:20:45Cheers, girls.
01:20:46Cheers.
01:20:50I'm just so proud of my girls, even though it wasn't a...
01:20:54Very conventional route to family togetherness.
01:20:57Has anything about this family ever been conventional?
01:21:00No.
01:21:00Now that you mentioned it, no.
01:21:02You ladies keep me on my toes.
01:21:04I wouldn't trade it for the world.
01:21:07You and I were special.
01:21:11So I have this credit card now, and it gives you 2% back.
01:21:14You spend the money, and then they give you some money back.
01:21:16I'm like, what?
01:21:17I'm gonna save that money.
01:21:18I'm gonna take it.
01:21:18I'm gonna use it to go to Peru.
01:21:20I'm gonna see these llamas.
01:21:21I'm gonna sleep with the llamas.
01:21:22You know what?
01:21:22There's so much to share with you.
01:21:23I'll tell you back at the house.
01:21:24Okay?
01:21:24Bye, Rumi.
01:21:26Hey.
01:21:27Oh, hi.
01:21:28Hey.
01:21:29So, uh, I invited Dominic.
01:21:31I was sure he would show up for you.
01:21:33Oh, he has shown.
01:21:34But I think it's for you.
01:21:36What?
01:21:38Happy birthdays.
01:21:39Oh, thanks.
01:21:42Sorry, I'm late.
01:21:44My, uh, schedule's been all screwy this week.
01:21:46I had to switch lectures with a colleague.
01:21:47Of course.
01:21:47I just didn't think you were coming.
01:21:49Mrs. Never.
01:21:51I made a mistake.
01:21:55You warned me, and I didn't listen.
01:21:57I think you served your time.
01:21:59So you're not mad?
01:22:00It wasn't in my place to be mad at you.
01:22:02I was always an independent director on Izzy's board.
01:22:05I'm sorry I went so hot and cold,
01:22:08and then I pushed you away.
01:22:10Just a terrible force of habit.
01:22:12I know.
01:22:12And now?
01:22:17Come with me.
01:22:24You know, I never really understood that John Lennon quote.
01:22:29I think it's from when he was young,
01:22:30and they were asking him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
01:22:33And he said,
01:22:34I just want to be happy.
01:22:36I think I get it now.
01:22:39Goldie Hawn said that.
01:22:40No, she didn't.
01:22:40She did.
01:22:41It's okay.
01:22:47So, what's next?
01:22:50Uh, it seems like we're dancing.
01:22:52I'm in with work.
01:22:53Oh, well, I'm going to partner with Curtis and his mom
01:22:57and take her kombucha brand nationwide.
01:23:00And then what?
01:23:02I don't know.
01:23:03We just want to be in good company.
01:23:05Okay.
01:23:05Okay.
01:23:11Oh, well, we need to be in good company.
