one should never do business with family.

But the definition of family

once meant mom and dad, 2.5 kids,

and a kitty cat named Jasper.

All under one roof.

But not anymore.

Today my family is my ex-girl, her white husband,

and the twins we are all successfully co-parenting.

And if the definition of family has changed,

then maybe the rules need to change, too.

All right.

I'll have to go to work after we finish with this prep.

Yeah, no sweat. Me and Green Eyes will handle this.

Yeah, we got this, white boy.

Uh, "Josh" is fine, too.

"Josh" sounds whiter than "white boy."

-Cool. -Let me tell you something, man.

We're gonna make so much money off of this,

I'll be paying you and Shay back in no time.

Oh, listen, we look at this as a long-term investment,

so take your time and, you know, build business slowly.

Man, forget that. I got to get this paper.

Now it's time to feed Brooklyn. Who want it?

-Who want it?! -Let's go!

Uh, as I'm sure many of you are aware,

there was an unfortunate tweet sent out

from my personal Twitter account early this morning

that involved me sharing an intimate picture of myself

with my children's nanny.

[ All gasp ] Hm?

Mr. Copeland: Love is a funny thing,

and we find it in the most unexpected places.

Unfortunately, not everyone understands this.

Certainly not your wife. Ooh!

But alas, the heart wants what the heart wants.

And for that I do not apologize.

What I will apologize for is the fact

that all of our clients

have since canceled their accounts

and, effective immediately,

Copeland's will be filing for bankruptcy

and laying off all of our employees.

What the hell?!

his whole fashion career for some coochie.

Well, yeah. Well, how hot was the nanny?

Remember when I said we will never have a nanny?

It's something I've always wanted to do anyways.

Yeah, I mean, I guess

there won't be a better time than right now.

Wait. You talk to Faith before you talk to me?

Uhh, yeah.

Faith is more interested in my career than the hot nanny.

You spend every free second drawing these designs.

This is clearly what you want to do.
