1
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,399
What's his real name again?

2
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:23,559
- Charlie.
- Charlie. Charlie, right.

3
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:25,039
Hi, Charlie.

4
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,039
She's putting a hat on him.
She's putting a hat.

5
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,240
We have to put on a hat.

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,280
We have to put on a hat,
it's not gonna match.

7
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:36,839
Do you have a hat?
Put him in the hat.

8
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:39,799
There we go.

9
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,240
It's just a...
It's just a hat, you're okay.

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,200
Okay. Wait till she clears the room.

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,759
Okay, go, she's clear.
Go, go, go, now, now, now.

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,960
Now.

13
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:30,599
And we're out.

14
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,560
- Hi. Yeah.
- Okay. You are a sweetheart.

15
00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:52,920
All right, thank you everyone.
Great work.

16
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,000
Most people say that nothing can
prepare you for becoming a parent.

17
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,879
But most people don't have the
resources to hire dozens of child actors

18
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,759
to create around the clock
simulation of parenthood.

19
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,439
To raise a child from zero to 18
over the course of two months

20
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,960
before deciding if you want
to have one yourself.

21
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:27,560
That's the rehearsal
I'm giving Angela,

22
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:31,400
a 44-year-old woman who has
chronically put off having children

23
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,199
because the circumstances
have never been quite right.

24
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:36,719
I'd like it' to happen in...
Within the right context.

25
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Which is what?

26
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,360
In a marriage, with a man.

27
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
- Okay.
- Yeah.

28
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:44,520
- Yeah, that makes sense.
- With the love of my life.

29
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:49,319
And is... Do you have that person in your
life right now or...

30
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,080
- No, I don't.
- Okay.

31
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:52,719
Yeah.

32
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,400
My challenge was simulating
the future life circumstances

33
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,360
she envisioned for herself
if she were to become a mother.

34
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:01,000
Are you seeing anyone you like?

35
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:03,240
- No.
- What about him?

36
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,240
- Just a little out of shape, maybe.
- What about him?

37
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:10,800
His outfit, it's too serious.

38
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,280
And Angela was very particular.

39
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,479
I think I'll bring
this air purifier too.

40
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,800
So, we had to relocate her
from her studio apartment

41
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,000
to a rented house in rural Oregon

42
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,439
because she didn't want to raise
a kid in the city.

43
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,360
We'd probably have a house
with a couple of acres,

44
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,360
with food and animals.
We'd probably be online,

45
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,560
but we'd also have access
to go off the grid

46
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,479
because infant skulls
have not fully formed.

47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,560
So, they absorb wireless radiation

48
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:45,080
a lot more than we do into their brains.

49
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:46,280
- Oh, okay.
- Yeah.

50
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,280
But her fears made sense to me.

51
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:52,319
It's scary to imagine raising
a child when you always know

52
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,159
that a single misstep on your part
could ruin their entire life.

53
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Angela's rehearsal began
with a simulated adoption

54
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,080
just like she envisioned.

55
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:05,599
Where I had the baby's
real mother give him away.

56
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:07,360
- Hi.
- Yeah. This is for the best.

57
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:10,280
He's better off with you
than with me, so...

58
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,039
Thank you.

59
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Maybe you can elaborate a bit
on why you're not suited to be a mom.

60
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,240
Yeah, I'm in school full time

61
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:24,040
and he just needs a complete home, so...

62
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:25,600
I can give him that.

63
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:30,240
I tried to make every detail of the
experience as realistic as possible.

64
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,439
Is this something you would normally
hand off or anything, this situation?

65
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:37,319
-No... I've never done that,
-Okay.

66
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:40,240
Angela already had a name
in mind for her baby.

67
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:42,519
I think I've decided on Adam.

68
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,360
He likes it.

69
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:47,519
Why Adam, what...

70
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:51,680
I knew a guy named Adam
and he was, you know...

71
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,399
It's just... It's...
Adam is a strong name.

72
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,319
- Like, Adam.
- Adam?

73
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,519
- Yeah.
- Okay, yeah.

74
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,000
Each week Adam will grow
three years, and for each age,

75
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:04,639
multiple child actors will be needed

76
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,319
in order to comply
with Oregon state labor laws

77
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:10,120
that limit the number of hours
a child can work.

78
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,399
With babies capped at four hours,
it required multiple switches each day,

79
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,680
which I tried to make
as seamless as possible

80
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:21,360
to keep the illusion of raising
a single child intact for Angela.

81
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,480
But just as important as her experience
was the well-being of the babies.

82
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,600
Ask them about aromatherapy.
Like, if they're okay with lavender...

83
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,000
on the soles of the feet.

84
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:35,079
Lavender on the soles of the feet?

85
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:36,480
The oil.

86
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,920
I had to keep track of everything
she wanted to do with these kids

87
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,680
and get the real parents' consent.

88
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,240
Lavender oil on soles of feet
to calm them.

89
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:52,360
- She can give it a shot if she wants.
- Okay. Lavender oil okay.

90
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:55,680
But the most important element
of Angela's future life

91
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,319
as a mother was still missing,
a man by her side.

92
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Prior to the start of her rehearsal,

93
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:05,279
I'd encouraged her to meet up
with some of her dating app matches

94
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,640
to see if she could find someone

95
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,279
with the qualities
she was looking for in a co-parent.

96
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,480
I'm not saying that all
extra-biblical texts are bad

97
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,920
'cause definitely like the
Dead Sea Scrolls or The Apocrypha.

98
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
But a lot of believers of various
denominations don't really read the Bible

99
00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:22,879
and they don't really know what it says.

100
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:24,720
So, that can be problematic

101
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,199
because then people start
going by their opinions and...

102
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,399
- Yeah.
- Yeah, because...

103
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:35,639
- Yeah, so...
- Yeah.

104
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,759
Yeah.

105
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,759
For a while, it seemed like
she would never find a connection.

106
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,079
I was just wondering,
what scares you the most?

107
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,279
- In life.
- Well...

108
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,839
First off, it's eels.

109
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,160
Until she met a guy named Robin.

110
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,839
Angela? Good to meet you.
How's your day?

111
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,399
- Nice to meet you. It's going crazy.
- All right. It's crazy?

112
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,319
No, it's good, it's fabulous.

113
00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:05,439
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

114
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,160
Yeah, same here.

115
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,120
- Oh, really?
- Absolutely blessed.

116
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:12,600
- It's a very good day.
- Very blessed.

117
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,720
- I agree with that.
- Yes.

118
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,360
This is the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:19
through 13 with a heartbeat monitor.

119
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,720
Nice.

120
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,759
Ask the Father, to give me everything I
need every day, take care of me.

121
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,480
I was like standing on the corner
drinking forties.

122
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,519
You know, smoking weed.

123
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,279
And, so God, like, pursued me though.

124
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,160
I made a few bad decisions

125
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,639
and ended up totaling my Scion TC
at 100 miles an hour.

126
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,360
- Oh, wow!
- Yeah.

127
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:40,040
I found myself upright.

128
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:43,639
As miracle as that is, so...

129
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:45,879
- That's a testimony.
- Yeah.

130
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:48,279
- Amen.
- Amen.

131
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:52,800
I was hopeful Angela would want
to invite Robin to join her rehearsal.

132
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,879
But now, we were three days in
and she still wasn't sure.

133
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,040
For me, more than a ten-year difference
feels a little...

134
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,959
- And he might be younger than that.
- Maybe.

135
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,519
You know, my goal is just for...

136
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,879
your rehearsal to reflect reality
and I know...

137
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,399
...with a partner it would...
That would happen for you, so...

138
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:13,839
- Well...
- Yeah.

139
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,959
I can say, it can still be realistic
because my husband could be at work.

140
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:19,959
And I started to wonder

141
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,720
if she was less interested in an
accurate simulation of her future life

142
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,079
and instead just wanted
a fun vacation in her dream home.

143
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,560
I hadn't intended for this to be easy.

144
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,759
Since baby actors can't work pass 7:30,

145
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,720
the final switch of the night
was to a robot baby

146
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,759
that would mimic
the sleep patterns of a human baby.

147
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,120
To do this, I hired a local man
who claimed to be a night owl...

148
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,200
All right.

149
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:49,399
...whose job was to watch
a live feed of a real baby

150
00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:52,720
and manually make
the robot baby cry in sync.

151
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,159
Unfortunately, it turned out
he was not a night owl

152
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,799
and fell asleep within 15 minutes
of the start of his shift.

153
00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:03,240
And the next night,
it happened again.

154
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,399
Robbing Angela of the experience
of being woken up throughout the night

155
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,879
and giving her the impression that
motherhood was a walk in the park.

156
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,799
- Hey, how's it going?
- It was all right, brother.

157
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,039
I'd be negligent if I didn't fix this.

158
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,480
Didn't you describe yourself
as a night owl.

159
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:20,399
Absolutely. Yes, indeed, yeah.

160
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,919
And once things were up
and running again,

161
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,279
Angela seemed to be craving
an extra set of hands.

162
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,000
Because within a day, she had set up
a second date with Robin.

163
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,399
Are you dressed for your date?

164
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:35,399
- I think so, yeah.
- You look great.

165
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,720
- Thank you.
- Very, very...

166
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,840
But when I reminded her
it was her responsibility

167
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:46,039
to organize childcare,
things got a little tense.

168
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:47,559
I need more notice.

169
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,559
So, I have time to arrange a babysitter.

170
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:56,240
I mean, it's tough because I mean,
technically, crew... the crew of...

171
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,919
Our crew can't help out
with any child-raising tasks.

172
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,840
- So, let's reschedule.
- Right.

173
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:04,200
For like a week, you know,
next week or something.

174
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,039
Right.

175
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,559
I couldn't let this experience
go to waste for her,

176
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,240
so I insisted she go on her date
and just this once,

177
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,639
I broke my own rule
and offered to babysit myself.

178
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,399
How are you doing?

179
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:22,320
Okay, shall we walk a little bit?

180
00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:44,279
- Okay.
- And I see MVP on license plates often.

181
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,039
- Gotcha.
- Rolled in here, right as I turn in...

182
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:51,960
- On the first car... Four seventeen...
- You're lying.

183
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:53,679
- MVP.
- No.

184
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,200
Swear right hand to God.

185
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:02,919
Oh, no, are you okay? Oh, no.

186
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:07,440
It's okay, it's okay.

187
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,000
What's your dream, like, for your life?

188
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:15,159
My dream has always been
to play in the NBA.

189
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,279
Oh, okay.

190
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,399
It's okay, it's okay.

191
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,480
- Hey.
- Hello.

192
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,320
- How's it going?
- Good.

193
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:36,639
- Here you go, he's sleeping.
- Oh, good, thank you.

194
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,080
- I changed his diaper.
- Thank you for watching him.

195
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:40,759
Yeah, I've never changed
a diaper before.

196
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:42,080
How'd it go?

197
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:45,039
Pretty good,
but that doesn't matter.

198
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,840
How did it go with Robin?

199
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:48,919
- It was really great.
- Yeah?

200
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,600
Yeah, I had a good time with him.

201
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,240
There were a lot of amazing coincidences
again in our conversations...

202
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Like what?

203
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:00,399
Just things that he was mentioning

204
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,440
about numbers
that have come up in his life.

205
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:07,039
You know, like, sometimes you seek
signs and numbers repeating.

206
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,879
So he felt like those were signs
that this was supposed to happen.

207
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,679
Okay.

208
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:17,200
So, Angela invited Robin
over to the house for a third date.

209
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,759
Where she would propose
that he joined her in raising her child.

210
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:56,639
- Hi.
- Hi.

211
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,519
He's kind of a top candidate
for to be a co-parent.

212
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,639
- Okay.
- Yeah.

213
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,480
- They seem to get along well enough.
- Yeah.

214
00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:09,239
- No, I think you're very clean.
- Come on. Don't I look clean?

215
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,759
There's actually a baby in the house.

216
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,600
- There is?
- Yes, and I was wondering if...

217
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,159
His name is Adam.

218
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,399
I was wondering if you would like
to meet him.

219
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:20,080
Really?

220
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,559
- Hi.
- How are you doing?

221
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,799
- This is not my baby.
- Okay.

222
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,279
It's to explore the idea of having...
what it's like to raise children.

223
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,080
It's for a project that is going on.

224
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,360
But it'll progress from like babies
then like toddlers, three-year-olds,

225
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,039
then like pre-teens, then teens.

226
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,240
- That's awesome.
- And there is cameras all over.

227
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,039
- All right.
- And there is also cameras in the house.

228
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,919
There's even a robot baby
that they leave overnight

229
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,960
and it wakes me up, and I have to get up
and feed it until it stops crying.

230
00:13:59,919 --> 00:14:02,559
So I'm staying here.
It's, you know, obviously not my house.

231
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,879
- Okay. Right.
- They...

232
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,160
I was like, when do I move in?

233
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,240
So this is the thing, you know...

234
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:16,200
Well, I mean, I was exploring the idea
of, I was wondering how you would feel

235
00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:20,639
about participating, like co-participating
in something like this.

236
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,080
- Really?
- Yeah.

237
00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:29,240
I think that that would definitely
be something that would entice me.

238
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,559
Okay.

239
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:32,919
Does he seem like the type of guy

240
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,559
you'd be comfortable
having around your baby?

241
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,600
Yeah, he seems like nice
and friendly and stuff, I mean...

242
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:42,200
I was wondering, you know,
'cause we're both believers.

243
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,519
What are your convictions
about purity, like, in dating?

244
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,919
As far as, like, sexual?

245
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,480
I...

246
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,279
I definitely do...

247
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:01,120
have sexual relations.

248
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,320
- You do.
- Yeah.

249
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:10,120
Okay. You know, I'm not giving this
for nobody, except my husband.

250
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:15,720
So, if there's, like, a temptation issue
that would definitely come up if...

251
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,600
you know, you were
to participate in this project.

252
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,560
Okay, like, I don't understand 'cause,
like, I know I'm a very attractive person.

253
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,879
- You know.
- Maybe.

254
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:29,480
- Yeah, I...
- Kinda. And...

255
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:30,879
- Yeah, you are.
- Yeah.

256
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,200
Thank you.

257
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:36,440
- You're beautiful.
- Thank you.

258
00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:39,240
- All right.
- Bye.

259
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:41,679
All right.

260
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Hey, man. Robin?
I'm Nathan.

261
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,120
- Hi.
- Hey.

262
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440
- Good to meet you.
- I'm just wondering are you...

263
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,679
Do you think you're interested
in joining Angela in this project or...

264
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:01,480
It sounds like something that I'm
definitely interested in without a doubt.

265
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,000
Would you want to try it out for tonight
and then we can...

266
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,120
Sure. 'Cause actually even
where I'm living now...

267
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:11,559
my roommate doesn't believe in Jesus.

268
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
- And she has clearly stated that. And...
- Is that a problem?

269
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:17,120
Yeah, it's a problem for me.
Yeah, definitely.

270
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,120
Robin said he needed to drive home
to get some stuff for the night,

271
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,080
so I tagged along to do my due diligence
on behalf of the parents.

272
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,600
Do you want me to hold your phone,
so you don't have to look down?

273
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:32,000
You mean, like, hold it up?

274
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,519
- Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah.

275
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,440
Or is it a little... just dangerous
maybe to have it on your lap.

276
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,600
Is that helpful?

277
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:41,359
- I mean, I do that all the time.
- Like this?

278
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:43,200
- Like have it on your lap?
- Yeah.

279
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,615
Just the roads are...
Watch out for that.

280
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:46,679
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

281
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:49,559
Thirty-three miles till empty.

282
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,759
Jesus Christ was crucified at 33.

283
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,840
- Fifty-five on the mileage.
- Okay.

284
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:57,240
Big change transformation.

285
00:16:57,679 --> 00:16:59,600
Thank grace, 22.

286
00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:01,519
Turning all dreams
and desires into reality.

287
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,960
All right. Can I fill regular?

288
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:06,240
It just said 88.

289
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:09,200
- What's that?
- I looked at it when it said 88.

290
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:10,960
The miles going up, you mean?

291
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:15,000
They're going up. I looked at it at 88.
Eighty-eight, new beginnings.

292
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:17,920
And it's approaching 644

293
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,880
and what's a trip
is after I totaled my Scion TC

294
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,359
last April second at 100 miles an hour.

295
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,359
I had a Focus just like that
that I got blessed with for 200 dollars.

296
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:35,920
- Nice place.
- Thank you.

297
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:38,799
Do you have kinda, like,
three mattresses in here?

298
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,799
Yeah, I need to get rid of 'em. But...

299
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,279
Remaining celibate.

300
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:52,559
I don't know, I just...

301
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,680
You know? I feel like...

302
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:58,000
it might... that might change.

303
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:00,456
You think you're gonna have
sex with her tonight?

304
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,480
Who knows?
The door is open, I guess. I don't know.

305
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:03,960
Do you use condoms?

306
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:06,000
Not really.

307
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,480
- In there...
- Is that a... What is this?

308
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,160
This?

309
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,240
The bong.

310
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,240
You know how to hit a bong, right?

311
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,839
I noticed as I was gonna make a
sandwich, we don't have mayonnaise.

312
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,519
- No?
- I was like, "What?"

313
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,960
- Yeah, buy some.
- Yeah.

314
00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:40,319
'Cause I don't use mayo too much.

315
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:46,759
I saw 44 on a plate, and there was a car
with the Baby on Board Carlo sticker,

316
00:18:46,839 --> 00:18:50,160
just like the one that was on my Scion TC
that I crashed at 100 miles an hour...

317
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,519
All right, man, I gotta...
Hey,

318
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:54,400
I have a hard time seeing the
coincidences in just two numbers though.

319
00:18:54,759 --> 00:19:00,200
It's just so crazy, I've seen 88, like,
the water that she offered me, 88 on it.

320
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,359
- Like again...
- The kid's name is Adam.

321
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,000
Why you think so much more
about numbers than you do, like,

322
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:07,896
the real-life experiences of,
like, you know, this is...

323
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,400
I met this person, and she might be the
person for me. You know what I mean?

324
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:15,720
Like I would focus on that.

325
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,920
Thank you for your input.

326
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,255
- What are you stepping to?
- Squash it.

327
00:19:19,279 --> 00:19:20,535
- What are you stepping to?
- Squash it.

328
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:22,720
- What are you stepping to, bruh?
- Squash it!

329
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:24,616
- What are you stepping to?
- What the fuck does that mean?

330
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,720
- What's up?
- What's up?

331
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:27,535
- You're stepping to me, bro.
- Hey, what's up?

332
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:28,839
- What's up?
- I'm right here.

333
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,160
Cross the fucking line then,
why you keep tripping on me?

334
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:34,055
- Quit fucking tripping on me, bro.
- God bless you, bruh.

335
00:19:34,079 --> 00:19:35,839
- Good then.
- What was that about?

336
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,279
I was just telling him the truth
and his demon doesn't like the truth.

337
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,200
Do you want me to drive?

338
00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:47,160
Because you kinda, like,
took a little bit of weed or...

339
00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:48,720
No, I can drive.

340
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,440
- Are you sure?
- Oh, yeah.

341
00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:51,519
- Okay.
- Yeah.

342
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:52,920
Just in case.

343
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,200
I smoke and drive all the time.

344
00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:00,079
- You don't have a license plate?
- No, it's okay.

345
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:03,920
But don't you need
a license plate to drive?

346
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,039
No.

347
00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:07,519
You don't need
a license plate to drive?

348
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:08,960
No.

349
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:13,240
- Seventy-seven, this one's always here.
- Oh, yeah.

350
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:16,039
Seventy-seven and there's a cross
right behind 33.

351
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,720
Carne A sad a tater tots,
no sour cream, no cheese.

352
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:22,599
Eighty-eight.

353
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,200
Hi.

354
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:27,319
- Hello.
- Welcome back.

355
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,799
If you hear the baby crying,

356
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,000
it is your turn to go in
and feed the baby the bottle.

357
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,720
Okay.

358
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,680
My Christian friends gonna be like,
"Oh, my gosh, you spent the night alone

359
00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:43,680
"in the house with a man
who's not your husband?"

360
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,599
I know that the government has
sasquatch liaisons.

361
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,640
People that actually can communicate
with these creatures, and, you know?

362
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:10,119
I've heard a lot of different
whistleblowers come up online

363
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,519
and, you know, through different
radio shows and...

364
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:13,759
Crying.

365
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:16,200
That's a loud one.

366
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,359
It can be scary to let
a new person into your life.

367
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,200
Press it again.

368
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,759
You have to open up your heart to them.

369
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,480
But you can never be fully sure
what their motives are.

370
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,960
Heavy cry.

371
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,759
- Heavy cry.
- Heavy cry.

372
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,039
- Keep him crying, don't let up.
- Okay.

373
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:57,279
And even if you wish for the best,
they often end up disappointing you.

374
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:10,000
- He's bailing.
- What?

375
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,319
He's bailing, he's leaving.

376
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,839
Wasn't cut out for it, I guess.
Not everybody is.

377
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,599
Sometimes I'm not sure
why I make the choices I do.

378
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,599
I transported a fake bar across
the country from New York to Oregon

379
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:29,960
just because I didn't want
to throw it away.

380
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:31,839
But I had no use for it here

381
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,519
and it didn't even fit
in the building they put it in.

382
00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:38,440
I guess it's nice to have
something familiar around.

383
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,799
Especially because I was
gonna be out here for a while.

384
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:47,279
I was put up in a corporate suite
which was apparently their model unit,

385
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:49,039
so it had some nice amenities.

386
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,720
And I was allowed to bring my cats with
me which made it a little less lonely.

387
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,839
Maybe when everything around you
is so temporary,

388
00:23:02,279 --> 00:23:05,440
you start longing
for something more permanent.

389
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,799
- Hey, hi.
- Hello.

390
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,480
Sorry about everything
that happened with Robin.

391
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,400
It's okay.

392
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:24,799
Sometimes things have to unfold

393
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,400
and you have
to learn things as you go, so...

394
00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:32,000
Yeah, I've been thinking a little bit
about just like life and...

395
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,160
I mean, I don't have kids myself.
I'm 38 and...

396
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,920
You know, I think I could be
a good dad maybe, but...

397
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,039
I'm not sure.

398
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:46,880
- Yeah, it's hard to know.
- Yeah.

399
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,000
And I was thinking, I don't know, maybe...

400
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,599
maybe it would be good for you to go
through this experience with someone

401
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,000
who could benefit from it as well.

402
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,599
Someone like me.

403
00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:06,519
Obviously, it would just be
about co-parenting the child, not...

404
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:08,359
It wouldn't be romantic in any way.

405
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,640
Yeah, I think during this process

406
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,240
I wanted to have more communication
ahead of...

407
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:15,640
- With me?
- Yeah, ahead of time.

408
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,279
Is that a big yawn?
I know.

409
00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:23,880
There you go. Good girl. It's all right.

410
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,400
Yeah.

411
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,160
Yeah, so I think just making sure
that we communicate.

412
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,039
Making sure everyone's
on the same page.

413
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,160
I think that's gonna be
a good thing to focus on.

414
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,400
It's definitely something that
I'm always trying to work on.

415
00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,000
Cool, thank you.

416
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,160
I like to pray about things.

417
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:46,599
Okay.

418
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,079
And kind of see if I have
a peace about something.

419
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,319
Yeah, so I haven't really had
time to do that, so...

420
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:55,359
Obviously though, I don't want...

421
00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:58,799
I know I'm in a position of power
when I say this to you,

422
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,759
so I don't want that to influence
your willingness to decide.

423
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:06,960
I want you to be honest with me
and tell me if you...

424
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,400
If it's something you don't want
to do, definitely,

425
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,920
I don't want there to be the,
you know, the bias or...

426
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
- Right.
- Yeah.

427
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Just off the top of my head, I would say,
"Sure, let's go with it."

428
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,279
- Why not?
- Okay. Yeah, okay.

429
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,480
Why not?

430
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,039
- Cool. This is gonna be fun.
- It will be. It's gonna be great.

431
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:32,160
Hi, Craig, this is Nathan Fielder
from The Rehearsal.

432
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,240
How are you, sir?

433
00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:35,279
- Good, how are you?
- I'm fantastic.

434
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,440
I just wanted to let you know that I'm
going to be joining the rehearsal,

435
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,575
which means I'll be moving into the house

436
00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:45,279
to perform co-parenting duties along
with the current participant, Angela.

437
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,119
Okay.

438
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,880
As promised, we would get your approval
for any changes to the plan,

439
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,720
so I'm just calling
to get your verbal consent

440
00:25:52,079 --> 00:25:56,400
that allows me to participate and interact
with Perry in the capacity of father.

441
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,840
Is that something
I can get you to agree to today?

442
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,319
Yeah, I believe
that would be amicable.

443
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,335
It's actually great news for you

444
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,279
'cause now, there'll be two people looking
after Charlie instead of one.

445
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,839
- Isn't that exciting?
- Yeah, that's great.

446
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,000
I'm not sure if I sense
any hesitancy in your voice,

447
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:13,279
but if so,
it's completely understandable.

448
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:14,640
It's a strange experience

449
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,400
and I know this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity is not for everyone.

450
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,575
So if you're feeling even
a slightest bit uncomfortable

451
00:26:19,599 --> 00:26:21,920
and would like to opt out,
that's no problem at all.

452
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,440
I appreciate that.
But, no, I don't feel funny.

453
00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:28,759
Well, excellent, we're thrilled to have
your continued commitment

454
00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:30,440
to this groundbreaking project.

455
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:32,896
Awesome, thank you
for letting us be part of it.

456
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,279
- And I'm excited to see you very soon.
- All right, I'll see you soon.

457
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,359
And I'm excited to see Charlie.
Excited to see Tracy.

458
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,519
I'm excited to see Sawyer.
