1
00:00:20,734 --> 00:00:21,944
What's his real name again?

2
00:00:22,403 --> 00:00:24,196
- Charlie.
- Charlie. Charlie, right.

3
00:00:24,697 --> 00:00:25,739
Hi, Charlie.

4
00:00:27,575 --> 00:00:29,910
She's putting a hat on him.
She's putting a hat.

5
00:00:33,038 --> 00:00:34,290
We have to put on a hat.

6
00:00:34,373 --> 00:00:36,417
We have to put on a hat,
it's not gonna match.

7
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,002
Do you have a hat?
Put him in the hat.

8
00:00:39,378 --> 00:00:41,130
There we go.

9
00:00:41,839 --> 00:00:44,717
It's just a…
It's just a hat, you're okay.

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,803
Okay. Wait till she clears the room.

11
00:00:49,513 --> 00:00:52,558
Okay, go, she's clear.
Go, go, go, now, now, now.

12
00:00:52,641 --> 00:00:53,809
Now.

13
00:01:33,057 --> 00:01:34,099
And we're out.

14
00:01:48,489 --> 00:01:52,826
- Hi. Yeah.
- Okay. You are a sweetheart.

15
00:01:54,703 --> 00:01:57,373
All right, thank you everyone.
Great work.

16
00:02:10,511 --> 00:02:14,139
Most people say that nothing can
prepare you for becoming a parent.

17
00:02:14,765 --> 00:02:19,228
But most people don't have the
resources to hire dozens of child actors

18
00:02:19,311 --> 00:02:22,231
to create around the clock
simulation of parenthood.

19
00:02:23,148 --> 00:02:27,111
To raise a child from zero to 18
over the course of two months

20
00:02:27,194 --> 00:02:29,738
before deciding if you want
to have one yourself.

21
00:02:31,448 --> 00:02:33,492
That's the rehearsal
I'm giving Angela,

22
00:02:33,826 --> 00:02:37,496
a 44-year-old woman who has
chronically put off having children

23
00:02:37,579 --> 00:02:40,415
because the circumstances
have never been quite right.

24
00:02:40,833 --> 00:02:42,835
I'd like it' to happen in…
Within the right context.

25
00:02:43,335 --> 00:02:44,378
Which is what?

26
00:02:44,670 --> 00:02:46,839
In a marriage, with a man.

27
00:02:47,506 --> 00:02:48,549
- Okay.
- Yeah.

28
00:02:48,882 --> 00:02:51,176
- Yeah, that makes sense.
- With the love of my life.

29
00:02:52,136 --> 00:02:56,181
And is… Do you have that person in your
life right now or…

30
00:02:56,265 --> 00:02:58,016
- No, I don't.
- Okay.

31
00:02:58,684 --> 00:02:59,726
Yeah.

32
00:03:00,561 --> 00:03:03,564
My challenge was simulating
the future life circumstances

33
00:03:03,647 --> 00:03:06,650
she envisioned for herself
if she were to become a mother.

34
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:08,360
Are you seeing anyone you like?

35
00:03:08,986 --> 00:03:10,696
- No.
- What about him?

36
00:03:11,864 --> 00:03:15,909
- Just a little out of shape, maybe.
- What about him?

37
00:03:16,743 --> 00:03:18,579
His outfit, it's too serious.

38
00:03:19,955 --> 00:03:22,207
And Angela was very particular.

39
00:03:22,583 --> 00:03:24,501
I think I'll bring
this air purifier too.

40
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,963
So, we had to relocate her
from her studio apartment

41
00:03:28,046 --> 00:03:30,257
to a rented house in rural Oregon

42
00:03:30,591 --> 00:03:32,801
because she didn't want to raise
a kid in the city.

43
00:03:33,176 --> 00:03:35,846
We'd probably have a house
with a couple of acres,

44
00:03:36,513 --> 00:03:41,059
with food and animals.
We'd probably be online,

45
00:03:41,143 --> 00:03:43,353
but we'd also have access
to go off the grid

46
00:03:43,729 --> 00:03:46,398
because infant skulls
have not fully formed.

47
00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:49,610
So, they absorb wireless radiation

48
00:03:50,986 --> 00:03:54,323
a lot more than we do into their brains.

49
00:03:54,406 --> 00:03:55,574
- Oh, okay.
- Yeah.

50
00:03:55,991 --> 00:03:57,659
But her fears made sense to me.

51
00:03:58,327 --> 00:04:01,872
It's scary to imagine raising
a child when you always know

52
00:04:01,955 --> 00:04:05,876
that a single misstep on your part
could ruin their entire life.

53
00:04:08,337 --> 00:04:11,298
Angela's rehearsal began
with a simulated adoption

54
00:04:11,632 --> 00:04:13,091
just like she envisioned.

55
00:04:13,175 --> 00:04:15,719
Where I had the baby's
real mother give him away.

56
00:04:16,053 --> 00:04:17,554
- Hi.
- Yeah. This is for the best.

57
00:04:17,929 --> 00:04:20,599
He's better off with you
than with me, so…

58
00:04:21,350 --> 00:04:22,434
Thank you.

59
00:04:22,517 --> 00:04:25,896
Maybe you can elaborate a bit
on why you're not suited to be a mom.

60
00:04:28,357 --> 00:04:30,984
Yeah, I'm in school full time

61
00:04:31,068 --> 00:04:34,946
and he just needs a complete home, so…

62
00:04:35,322 --> 00:04:36,573
I can give him that.

63
00:04:36,948 --> 00:04:41,411
I tried to make every detail of the
experience as realistic as possible.

64
00:04:41,495 --> 00:04:45,791
Is this something you would normally
hand off or anything, this situation?

65
00:04:45,874 --> 00:04:48,794
- No… I've never done that,
- Okay.

66
00:04:48,877 --> 00:04:51,838
Angela already had a name
in mind for her baby.

67
00:04:51,922 --> 00:04:54,216
I think I've decided on Adam.

68
00:04:55,092 --> 00:04:56,134
He likes it.

69
00:04:57,719 --> 00:04:59,429
Why Adam, what…

70
00:05:00,263 --> 00:05:03,767
I knew a guy named Adam
and he was, you know…

71
00:05:04,476 --> 00:05:06,603
It's just… It's…
Adam is a strong name.

72
00:05:07,104 --> 00:05:09,648
- Like, Adam.
- Adam?

73
00:05:09,731 --> 00:05:10,899
- Yeah.
- Okay, yeah.

74
00:05:10,982 --> 00:05:14,528
Each week Adam will grow
three years, and for each age,

75
00:05:15,195 --> 00:05:17,280
multiple child actors will be needed

76
00:05:17,364 --> 00:05:20,075
in order to comply
with Oregon state labor laws

77
00:05:20,158 --> 00:05:22,994
that limit the number of hours
a child can work.

78
00:05:23,954 --> 00:05:28,500
With babies capped at four hours,
it required multiple switches each day,

79
00:05:28,583 --> 00:05:30,877
which I tried to make
as seamless as possible

80
00:05:30,961 --> 00:05:34,714
to keep the illusion of raising
a single child intact for Angela.

81
00:05:36,216 --> 00:05:40,053
But just as important as her experience
was the well-being of the babies.

82
00:05:40,429 --> 00:05:44,349
Ask them about aromatherapy.
Like, if they're okay with lavender…

83
00:05:44,433 --> 00:05:46,852
on the soles of the feet.

84
00:05:46,935 --> 00:05:49,020
Lavender on the soles of the feet?

85
00:05:49,396 --> 00:05:50,480
The oil.

86
00:05:50,564 --> 00:05:54,067
I had to keep track of everything
she wanted to do with these kids

87
00:05:54,151 --> 00:05:55,902
and get the real parents' consent.

88
00:05:56,736 --> 00:06:00,657
Lavender oil on soles of feet
to calm them.

89
00:06:03,285 --> 00:06:07,038
- She can give it a shot if she wants.
- Okay. Lavender oil okay.

90
00:06:07,789 --> 00:06:10,500
But the most important element
of Angela's future life

91
00:06:10,584 --> 00:06:14,296
as a mother was still missing,
a man by her side.

92
00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:17,215
Prior to the start of her rehearsal,

93
00:06:17,299 --> 00:06:20,510
I'd encouraged her to meet up
with some of her dating app matches

94
00:06:20,594 --> 00:06:21,928
to see if she could find someone

95
00:06:22,012 --> 00:06:24,681
with the qualities
she was looking for in a co-parent.

96
00:06:25,265 --> 00:06:28,018
I'm not saying that all
extra-biblical texts are bad

97
00:06:28,101 --> 00:06:32,647
'cause definitely like the
Dead Sea Scrolls or The Apocrypha.

98
00:06:32,731 --> 00:06:36,902
But a lot of believers of various
denominations don't really read the Bible

99
00:06:36,985 --> 00:06:38,862
and they don't really know what it says.

100
00:06:39,196 --> 00:06:40,780
So, that can be problematic

101
00:06:40,864 --> 00:06:44,409
because then people start
going by their opinions and…

102
00:06:44,492 --> 00:06:46,703
- Yeah.
- Yeah, because…

103
00:06:50,916 --> 00:06:52,167
- Yeah, so…
- Yeah.

104
00:06:56,379 --> 00:06:57,505
Yeah.

105
00:06:57,589 --> 00:07:00,634
For a while, it seemed like
she would never find a connection.

106
00:07:00,717 --> 00:07:04,095
I was just wondering,
what scares you the most?

107
00:07:05,555 --> 00:07:07,432
- In life.
- Well…

108
00:07:09,601 --> 00:07:11,144
First off, it's eels.

109
00:07:11,227 --> 00:07:13,563
Until she met a guy named Robin.

110
00:07:14,356 --> 00:07:16,358
Angela? Good to meet you.
How's your day?

111
00:07:16,441 --> 00:07:20,070
- Nice to meet you. It's going crazy.
- All right. It's crazy?

112
00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:22,072
No, it's good, it's fabulous.

113
00:07:22,155 --> 00:07:23,239
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

114
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:25,033
Yeah, same here.

115
00:07:25,367 --> 00:07:27,077
- Oh, really?
- Absolutely blessed.

116
00:07:27,827 --> 00:07:30,705
- It's a very good day.
- Very blessed.

117
00:07:30,789 --> 00:07:32,916
- I agree with that.
- Yes.

118
00:07:32,999 --> 00:07:36,711
This is the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6:19
through 13 with a heartbeat monitor.

119
00:07:37,087 --> 00:07:38,129
Nice.

120
00:07:38,213 --> 00:07:42,342
Ask the Father, to give me everything I
need every day, take care of me.

121
00:07:42,425 --> 00:07:45,178
I was like standing on the corner
drinking forties.

122
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,305
You know, smoking weed.

123
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:50,183
And, so God, like, pursued me though.

124
00:07:50,725 --> 00:07:52,143
I made a few bad decisions

125
00:07:52,227 --> 00:07:55,772
and ended up totaling my Scion TC
at 100 miles an hour.

126
00:07:55,855 --> 00:07:57,565
- Oh, wow!
- Yeah.

127
00:07:58,066 --> 00:07:59,317
I found myself upright.

128
00:08:00,151 --> 00:08:03,071
As miracle as that is, so…

129
00:08:03,405 --> 00:08:05,407
- That's a testimony.
- Yeah.

130
00:08:05,865 --> 00:08:07,909
- Amen.
- Amen.

131
00:08:09,202 --> 00:08:12,622
I was hopeful Angela would want
to invite Robin to join her rehearsal.

132
00:08:13,456 --> 00:08:16,876
But now, we were three days in
and she still wasn't sure.

133
00:08:17,252 --> 00:08:21,214
For me, more than a ten-year difference
feels a little…

134
00:08:21,297 --> 00:08:24,259
- And he might be younger than that.
- Maybe.

135
00:08:24,342 --> 00:08:25,885
You know, my goal is just for…

136
00:08:26,761 --> 00:08:30,432
your rehearsal to reflect reality
and I know…

137
00:08:30,515 --> 00:08:33,059
…with a partner it would…
That would happen for you, so…

138
00:08:33,518 --> 00:08:34,561
- Well…
- Yeah.

139
00:08:34,644 --> 00:08:38,857
I can say, it can still be realistic
because my husband could be at work.

140
00:08:39,441 --> 00:08:40,942
And I started to wonder

141
00:08:41,025 --> 00:08:44,863
if she was less interested in an
accurate simulation of her future life

142
00:08:44,946 --> 00:08:49,409
and instead just wanted
a fun vacation in her dream home.

143
00:08:50,493 --> 00:08:53,037
I hadn't intended for this to be easy.

144
00:08:53,371 --> 00:08:56,374
Since baby actors can't work pass 7:30,

145
00:08:56,458 --> 00:08:59,461
the final switch of the night
was to a robot baby

146
00:08:59,544 --> 00:09:02,630
that would mimic
the sleep patterns of a human baby.

147
00:09:03,214 --> 00:09:07,177
To do this, I hired a local man
who claimed to be a night owl…

148
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:08,303
All right.

149
00:09:08,761 --> 00:09:11,639
…whose job was to watch
a live feed of a real baby

150
00:09:12,015 --> 00:09:15,101
and manually make
the robot baby cry in sync.

151
00:09:16,644 --> 00:09:19,731
Unfortunately, it turned out
he was not a night owl

152
00:09:19,814 --> 00:09:23,526
and fell asleep within 15 minutes
of the start of his shift.

153
00:09:23,902 --> 00:09:26,070
And the next night,
it happened again.

154
00:09:26,696 --> 00:09:30,408
Robbing Angela of the experience
of being woken up throughout the night

155
00:09:30,491 --> 00:09:34,037
and giving her the impression that
motherhood was a walk in the park.

156
00:09:34,913 --> 00:09:37,081
- Hey, how's it going?
- It was all right, brother.

157
00:09:37,165 --> 00:09:39,417
I'd be negligent if I didn't fix this.

158
00:09:39,876 --> 00:09:41,961
Didn't you describe yourself
as a night owl.

159
00:09:42,295 --> 00:09:43,963
Absolutely. Yes, indeed, yeah.

160
00:09:45,715 --> 00:09:47,634
And once things were up
and running again,

161
00:09:47,717 --> 00:09:51,137
Angela seemed to be craving
an extra set of hands.

162
00:09:51,471 --> 00:09:55,016
Because within a day, she had set up
a second date with Robin.

163
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:57,518
Are you dressed for your date?

164
00:09:57,894 --> 00:09:59,604
- I think so, yeah.
- You look great.

165
00:09:59,687 --> 00:10:02,023
- Thank you.
- Very, very…

166
00:10:04,776 --> 00:10:07,362
But when I reminded her
it was her responsibility

167
00:10:07,445 --> 00:10:10,698
to organize childcare,
things got a little tense.

168
00:10:11,074 --> 00:10:12,283
I need more notice.

169
00:10:12,825 --> 00:10:15,411
So, I have time to arrange a babysitter.

170
00:10:15,495 --> 00:10:21,334
I mean, it's tough because I mean,
technically, crew… the crew of…

171
00:10:21,417 --> 00:10:25,171
Our crew can't help out
with any child-raising tasks.

172
00:10:25,254 --> 00:10:27,173
- So, let's reschedule.
- Right.

173
00:10:27,256 --> 00:10:29,634
For like a week, you know,
next week or something.

174
00:10:30,468 --> 00:10:31,552
Right.

175
00:10:31,636 --> 00:10:34,180
I couldn't let this experience
go to waste for her,

176
00:10:34,597 --> 00:10:38,017
so I insisted she go on her date
and just this once,

177
00:10:38,101 --> 00:10:41,562
I broke my own rule
and offered to babysit myself.

178
00:10:43,064 --> 00:10:44,440
How are you doing?

179
00:10:45,858 --> 00:10:48,528
Okay, shall we walk a little bit?

180
00:11:07,505 --> 00:11:11,426
- Okay.
- And I see MVP on license plates often.

181
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:15,346
- Gotcha.
- Rolled in here, right as I turn in…

182
00:11:16,264 --> 00:11:19,434
- On the first car… Four seventeen…
- You're lying.

183
00:11:19,517 --> 00:11:21,227
- MVP.
- No.

184
00:11:21,686 --> 00:11:23,855
Swear right hand to God.

185
00:11:28,234 --> 00:11:30,862
Oh, no, are you okay? Oh, no.

186
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,575
It's okay, it's okay.

187
00:11:37,952 --> 00:11:40,329
What's your dream, like, for your life?

188
00:11:40,872 --> 00:11:43,624
My dream has always been
to play in the NBA.

189
00:11:43,708 --> 00:11:44,792
Oh, okay.

190
00:11:46,544 --> 00:11:48,045
It's okay, it's okay.

191
00:11:57,763 --> 00:11:59,599
- Hey.
- Hello.

192
00:11:59,682 --> 00:12:01,517
- How's it going?
- Good.

193
00:12:03,060 --> 00:12:06,022
- Here you go, he's sleeping.
- Oh, good, thank you.

194
00:12:06,105 --> 00:12:08,566
- I changed his diaper.
- Thank you for watching him.

195
00:12:08,649 --> 00:12:10,151
Yeah, I've never changed
a diaper before.

196
00:12:10,485 --> 00:12:11,694
How'd it go?

197
00:12:11,777 --> 00:12:14,780
Pretty good,
but that doesn't matter.

198
00:12:14,864 --> 00:12:16,657
How did it go with Robin?

199
00:12:17,241 --> 00:12:18,826
- It was really great.
- Yeah?

200
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:20,578
Yeah, I had a good time with him.

201
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,459
There were a lot of amazing coincidences
again in our conversations…

202
00:12:26,542 --> 00:12:27,752
Like what?

203
00:12:29,086 --> 00:12:30,796
Just things that he was mentioning

204
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,966
about numbers
that have come up in his life.

205
00:12:34,050 --> 00:12:37,720
You know, like, sometimes you seek
signs and numbers repeating.

206
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,767
So he felt like those were signs
that this was supposed to happen.

207
00:12:43,517 --> 00:12:44,644
Okay.

208
00:12:44,727 --> 00:12:48,314
So, Angela invited Robin
over to the house for a third date.

209
00:12:48,731 --> 00:12:53,069
Where she would propose
that he joined her in raising her child.

210
00:13:28,271 --> 00:13:29,438
- Hi.
- Hi.

211
00:13:29,522 --> 00:13:33,484
He's kind of a top candidate
for to be a co-parent.

212
00:13:33,567 --> 00:13:34,652
- Okay.
- Yeah.

213
00:13:35,111 --> 00:13:37,613
- They seem to get along well enough.
- Yeah.

214
00:13:39,991 --> 00:13:42,326
- No, I think you're very clean.
- Come on. Don't I look clean?

215
00:13:43,494 --> 00:13:45,204
There's actually a baby in the house.

216
00:13:45,287 --> 00:13:47,123
- There is?
- Yes, and I was wondering if…

217
00:13:47,206 --> 00:13:48,749
His name is Adam.

218
00:13:49,667 --> 00:13:52,128
I was wondering if you would like
to meet him.

219
00:13:52,670 --> 00:13:53,879
Really?

220
00:13:54,255 --> 00:13:57,508
- Hi.
- How are you doing?

221
00:13:58,175 --> 00:14:00,886
- This is not my baby.
- Okay.

222
00:14:03,389 --> 00:14:07,643
It's to explore the idea of having…
what it's like to raise children.

223
00:14:07,727 --> 00:14:10,563
It's for a project that is going on.

224
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,068
But it'll progress from like babies
then like toddlers, three-year-olds,

225
00:14:16,152 --> 00:14:18,863
then like pre-teens, then teens.

226
00:14:18,946 --> 00:14:23,242
- That's awesome.
- And there is cameras all over.

227
00:14:23,868 --> 00:14:26,162
- All right.
- And there is also cameras in the house.

228
00:14:26,620 --> 00:14:30,207
There's even a robot baby
that they leave overnight

229
00:14:30,291 --> 00:14:33,252
and it wakes me up, and I have to get up
and feed it until it stops crying.

230
00:14:35,421 --> 00:14:38,174
So I'm staying here.
It's, you know, obviously not my house.

231
00:14:38,591 --> 00:14:40,593
- Okay. Right.
- They…

232
00:14:40,676 --> 00:14:41,844
I was like, when do I move in?

233
00:14:43,137 --> 00:14:45,139
So this is the thing, you know…

234
00:14:45,222 --> 00:14:52,396
Well, I mean, I was exploring the idea
of, I was wondering how you would feel

235
00:14:52,730 --> 00:14:57,026
about participating, like co-participating
in something like this.

236
00:14:58,152 --> 00:14:59,570
- Really?
- Yeah.

237
00:15:01,447 --> 00:15:05,993
I think that that would definitely
be something that would entice me.

238
00:15:06,076 --> 00:15:07,369
Okay.

239
00:15:07,745 --> 00:15:09,830
Does he seem like the type of guy

240
00:15:09,914 --> 00:15:13,626
you'd be comfortable
having around your baby?

241
00:15:14,168 --> 00:15:16,795
Yeah, he seems like nice
and friendly and stuff, I mean…

242
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:19,507
I was wondering, you know,
'cause we're both believers.

243
00:15:19,924 --> 00:15:25,054
What are your convictions
about purity, like, in dating?

244
00:15:25,554 --> 00:15:27,556
As far as, like, sexual?

245
00:15:29,183 --> 00:15:30,226
I…

246
00:15:32,269 --> 00:15:34,188
I definitely do…

247
00:15:36,649 --> 00:15:39,235
have sexual relations.

248
00:15:40,152 --> 00:15:41,529
- You do.
- Yeah.

249
00:15:41,612 --> 00:15:48,619
Okay. You know, I'm not giving this
for nobody, except my husband.

250
00:15:49,078 --> 00:15:54,458
So, if there's, like, a temptation issue
that would definitely come up if…

251
00:15:55,501 --> 00:15:58,504
you know, you were
to participate in this project.

252
00:15:59,296 --> 00:16:02,383
Okay, like, I don't understand 'cause,
like, I know I'm a very attractive person.

253
00:16:02,925 --> 00:16:04,009
- You know.
- Maybe.

254
00:16:04,718 --> 00:16:08,806
Yeah, I…
Kinda. And…

255
00:16:08,889 --> 00:16:10,266
- Yeah, you are.
- Yeah.

256
00:16:11,558 --> 00:16:12,685
Thank you.

257
00:16:13,936 --> 00:16:16,063
- You're beautiful.
- Thank you.

258
00:16:17,606 --> 00:16:18,983
- All right.
- Bye.

259
00:16:20,442 --> 00:16:21,527
All right.

260
00:16:24,321 --> 00:16:28,117
Hey, man. Robin?
I'm Nathan.

261
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,285
- Hi.
- Hey.

262
00:16:29,368 --> 00:16:31,704
- Good to meet you.
- I'm just wondering are you…

263
00:16:32,371 --> 00:16:37,167
Do you think you're interested
in joining Angela in this project or…

264
00:16:38,168 --> 00:16:42,172
It sounds like something that I'm
definitely interested in without a doubt.

265
00:16:42,673 --> 00:16:45,843
Would you want to try it out for tonight
and then we can…

266
00:16:46,218 --> 00:16:49,096
Sure. 'Cause actually even
where I'm living now…

267
00:16:50,431 --> 00:16:52,683
my roommate doesn't believe in Jesus.

268
00:16:53,142 --> 00:16:55,853
- And she has clearly stated that. And…
- Is that a problem?

269
00:16:55,936 --> 00:16:58,480
Yeah, it's a problem for me.
Yeah, definitely.

270
00:16:58,564 --> 00:17:01,608
Robin said he needed to drive home
to get some stuff for the night,

271
00:17:01,942 --> 00:17:05,738
so I tagged along to do my due diligence
on behalf of the parents.

272
00:17:08,615 --> 00:17:12,536
Do you want me to hold your phone,
so you don't have to look down?

273
00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:13,996
You mean, like, hold it up?

274
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,581
- Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah.

275
00:17:15,664 --> 00:17:18,625
Or is it a little… just dangerous
maybe to have it on your lap.

276
00:17:19,835 --> 00:17:20,878
Is that helpful?

277
00:17:21,879 --> 00:17:23,422
- I mean, I do that all the time.
- Like this?

278
00:17:23,964 --> 00:17:25,674
- Like have it on your lap?
- Yeah.

279
00:17:26,592 --> 00:17:28,135
Just the roads are…
Watch out for that.

280
00:17:28,218 --> 00:17:29,303
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

281
00:17:29,386 --> 00:17:32,306
Thirty-three miles till empty.

282
00:17:32,723 --> 00:17:34,600
Jesus Christ was crucified at 33.

283
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:37,811
- Fifty-five on the mileage.
- Okay.

284
00:17:38,395 --> 00:17:40,314
Big change transformation.

285
00:17:40,773 --> 00:17:42,775
Thank grace, 22.

286
00:17:42,858 --> 00:17:44,777
Turning all dreams
and desires into reality.

287
00:17:45,652 --> 00:17:47,321
All right. Can I fill regular?

288
00:17:48,489 --> 00:17:49,698
It just said 88.

289
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,785
- What's that?
- I looked at it when it said 88.

290
00:17:53,327 --> 00:17:54,620
The miles going up, you mean?

291
00:17:54,703 --> 00:17:58,832
They're going up. I looked at it at 88.
Eighty-eight, new beginnings.

292
00:17:59,708 --> 00:18:01,877
And it's approaching 644

293
00:18:02,419 --> 00:18:04,963
and what's a trip
is after I totaled my Scion TC

294
00:18:05,047 --> 00:18:07,549
last April second at 100 miles an hour.

295
00:18:09,176 --> 00:18:12,763
I had a Focus just like that
that I got blessed with for 200 dollars.

296
00:18:18,685 --> 00:18:20,646
- Nice place.
- Thank you.

297
00:18:21,063 --> 00:18:23,649
Do you have kinda, like,
three mattresses in here?

298
00:18:23,732 --> 00:18:26,777
Yeah, I need to get rid of 'em. But…

299
00:18:34,284 --> 00:18:35,619
Remaining celibate.

300
00:18:36,411 --> 00:18:37,996
I don't know, I just…

301
00:18:38,705 --> 00:18:40,207
You know? I feel like…

302
00:18:41,625 --> 00:18:43,669
it might… that might change.

303
00:18:44,253 --> 00:18:46,171
You think you're gonna have
sex with her tonight?

304
00:18:46,255 --> 00:18:48,298
Who knows?
The door is open, I guess. I don't know.

305
00:18:48,715 --> 00:18:49,883
Do you use condoms?

306
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:52,010
Not really.

307
00:18:57,724 --> 00:19:00,852
- In there…
- Is that a… What is this?

308
00:19:02,396 --> 00:19:03,647
This?

309
00:19:03,730 --> 00:19:04,773
The bong.

310
00:19:05,566 --> 00:19:07,901
You know how to hit a bong, right?

311
00:19:16,201 --> 00:19:19,997
I noticed as I was gonna make a
sandwich, we don't have mayonnaise.

312
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,748
- No?
- I was like, "What?"

313
00:19:23,292 --> 00:19:25,335
- Yeah, buy some.
- Yeah.

314
00:19:25,419 --> 00:19:27,796
'Cause I don't use mayo too much.

315
00:19:28,130 --> 00:19:34,511
I saw 44 on a plate, and there was a car
with the Baby on Board Carlo sticker,

316
00:19:34,594 --> 00:19:38,056
just like the one that was on my Scion TC
that I crashed at 100 miles an hour…

317
00:19:38,140 --> 00:19:39,474
All right, man, I gotta…
Hey,

318
00:19:39,558 --> 00:19:42,477
I have a hard time seeing the
coincidences in just two numbers though.

319
00:19:42,853 --> 00:19:48,525
It's just so crazy, I've seen 88, like,
the water that she offered me, 88 on it.

320
00:19:48,984 --> 00:19:51,820
- Like again…
- The kid's name is Adam.

321
00:19:52,154 --> 00:19:54,531
Why you think so much more
about numbers than you do, like,

322
00:19:54,614 --> 00:19:56,491
the real-life experiences of,
like, you know, this is…

323
00:19:56,575 --> 00:20:01,246
I met this person, and she might be the
person for me. You know what I mean?

324
00:20:02,706 --> 00:20:04,708
Like I would focus on that.

325
00:20:05,709 --> 00:20:07,002
Thank you for your input.

326
00:20:07,085 --> 00:20:08,337
- What are you stepping to?
- Squash it.

327
00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:09,671
- What are you stepping to?
- Squash it.

328
00:20:09,755 --> 00:20:12,007
- What are you stepping to, bruh?
- Squash it!

329
00:20:12,090 --> 00:20:13,925
- What are you stepping to?
- What the fuck does that mean?

330
00:20:14,009 --> 00:20:15,135
- What's up?
- What's up?

331
00:20:15,218 --> 00:20:16,720
- You're stepping to me, bro.
- Hey, what's up?

332
00:20:17,054 --> 00:20:18,388
- What's up?
- I'm right here.

333
00:20:18,472 --> 00:20:20,682
Cross the fucking line then,
why you keep tripping on me?

334
00:20:21,516 --> 00:20:23,769
- Quit fucking tripping on me, bro.
- God bless you, bruh.

335
00:20:23,852 --> 00:20:25,687
- Good then.
- What was that about?

336
00:20:26,063 --> 00:20:30,317
I was just telling him the truth
and his demon doesn't like the truth.

337
00:20:31,109 --> 00:20:33,361
Do you want me to drive?

338
00:20:34,529 --> 00:20:37,491
Because you kinda, like,
took a little bit of weed or…

339
00:20:37,908 --> 00:20:39,117
No, I can drive.

340
00:20:39,576 --> 00:20:40,911
- Are you sure?
- Oh, yeah.

341
00:20:40,994 --> 00:20:42,037
- Okay.
- Yeah.

342
00:20:42,329 --> 00:20:43,497
Just in case.

343
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:45,874
I smoke and drive all the time.

344
00:20:47,834 --> 00:20:50,962
- You don't have a license plate?
- No, it's okay.

345
00:20:52,506 --> 00:20:54,966
But don't you need
a license plate to drive?

346
00:20:55,050 --> 00:20:56,134
No.

347
00:20:56,718 --> 00:20:58,720
You don't need
a license plate to drive?

348
00:20:58,804 --> 00:21:00,222
No.

349
00:21:01,932 --> 00:21:04,684
- Seventy-seven, this one's always here.
- Oh, yeah.

350
00:21:04,768 --> 00:21:07,604
Seventy-seven and there's a cross
right behind 33.

351
00:21:08,313 --> 00:21:11,441
Carne Asada tater tots,
no sour cream, no cheese.

352
00:21:13,068 --> 00:21:14,444
Eighty-eight.

353
00:21:16,071 --> 00:21:17,155
Hi.

354
00:21:17,239 --> 00:21:19,366
- Hello.
- Welcome back.

355
00:21:19,449 --> 00:21:21,952
If you hear the baby crying,

356
00:21:22,035 --> 00:21:26,331
it is your turn to go in
and feed the baby the bottle.

357
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,124
Okay.

358
00:21:29,584 --> 00:21:33,296
My Christian friends gonna be like,
"Oh, my gosh, you spent the night alone

359
00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:36,424
"in the house with a man
who's not your husband?"

360
00:21:52,524 --> 00:21:57,195
I know that the government has
sasquatch liaisons.

361
00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:00,365
People that actually can communicate
with these creatures, and, you know?

362
00:22:01,283 --> 00:22:03,994
I've heard a lot of different
whistleblowers come up online

363
00:22:04,077 --> 00:22:06,496
and, you know, through different
radio shows and…

364
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:07,789
Crying.

365
00:22:09,165 --> 00:22:10,333
That's a loud one.

366
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,098
It can be scary to let
a new person into your life.

367
00:22:25,682 --> 00:22:27,017
Press it again.

368
00:22:32,022 --> 00:22:33,857
You have to open up your heart to them.

369
00:22:34,357 --> 00:22:37,736
But you can never be fully sure
what their motives are.

370
00:22:38,236 --> 00:22:39,279
Heavy cry.

371
00:22:39,779 --> 00:22:41,156
- Heavy cry.
- Heavy cry.

372
00:22:45,452 --> 00:22:47,704
- Keep him crying, don't let up.
- Okay.

373
00:22:48,288 --> 00:22:53,168
And even if you wish for the best,
they often end up disappointing you.

374
00:23:04,888 --> 00:23:06,431
- He's bailing.
- What?

375
00:23:07,098 --> 00:23:08,850
He's bailing, he's leaving.

376
00:23:09,225 --> 00:23:12,520
Wasn't cut out for it, I guess.
Not everybody is.

377
00:23:15,231 --> 00:23:18,526
Sometimes I'm not sure
why I make the choices I do.

378
00:23:19,903 --> 00:23:23,740
I transported a fake bar across
the country from New York to Oregon

379
00:23:24,199 --> 00:23:27,243
just because I didn't want
to throw it away.

380
00:23:27,327 --> 00:23:29,204
But I had no use for it here

381
00:23:29,287 --> 00:23:31,998
and it didn't even fit
in the building they put it in.

382
00:23:33,375 --> 00:23:36,086
I guess it's nice to have
something familiar around.

383
00:23:36,669 --> 00:23:39,589
Especially because I was
gonna be out here for a while.

384
00:23:41,633 --> 00:23:45,303
I was put up in a corporate suite
which was apparently their model unit,

385
00:23:45,637 --> 00:23:47,138
so it had some nice amenities.

386
00:23:48,014 --> 00:23:53,061
And I was allowed to bring my cats with
me which made it a little less lonely.

387
00:23:58,274 --> 00:24:00,485
Maybe when everything around you
is so temporary,

388
00:24:00,944 --> 00:24:04,239
you start longing
for something more permanent.

389
00:24:14,624 --> 00:24:17,127
- Hey, hi.
- Hello.

390
00:24:17,585 --> 00:24:19,921
Sorry about everything
that happened with Robin.

391
00:24:20,713 --> 00:24:21,923
It's okay.

392
00:24:22,632 --> 00:24:24,425
Sometimes things have to unfold

393
00:24:24,509 --> 00:24:27,137
and you have
to learn things as you go, so…

394
00:24:27,554 --> 00:24:31,933
Yeah, I've been thinking a little bit
about just like life and…

395
00:24:33,226 --> 00:24:36,271
I mean, I don't have kids myself.
I'm 38 and…

396
00:24:38,439 --> 00:24:42,277
You know, I think I could be
a good dad maybe, but…

397
00:24:43,403 --> 00:24:44,487
I'm not sure.

398
00:24:45,822 --> 00:24:47,448
- Yeah, it's hard to know.
- Yeah.

399
00:24:49,367 --> 00:24:51,744
And I was thinking, I don't know, maybe…

400
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:55,498
maybe it would be good for you to go
through this experience with someone

401
00:24:55,582 --> 00:24:58,001
who could benefit from it as well.

402
00:25:00,295 --> 00:25:01,754
Someone like me.

403
00:25:04,090 --> 00:25:07,927
Obviously, it would just be
about co-parenting the child, not…

404
00:25:08,011 --> 00:25:09,846
It wouldn't be romantic in any way.

405
00:25:09,929 --> 00:25:12,223
Yeah, I think during this process

406
00:25:12,307 --> 00:25:14,934
I wanted to have more communication
ahead of…

407
00:25:15,018 --> 00:25:17,437
- With me?
- Yeah, ahead of time.

408
00:25:18,730 --> 00:25:21,232
Is that a big yawn?
I know.

409
00:25:22,859 --> 00:25:26,029
There you go. Good girl. It's all right.

410
00:25:27,614 --> 00:25:28,656
Yeah.

411
00:25:29,991 --> 00:25:33,620
Yeah, so I think just making sure
that we communicate.

412
00:25:33,703 --> 00:25:35,580
Making sure everyone's
on the same page.

413
00:25:35,997 --> 00:25:39,876
I think that's gonna be
a good thing to focus on.

414
00:25:39,959 --> 00:25:43,254
It's definitely something that
I'm always trying to work on.

415
00:25:43,671 --> 00:25:44,922
Cool, thank you.

416
00:25:46,090 --> 00:25:48,217
I like to pray about things.

417
00:25:48,676 --> 00:25:49,719
Okay.

418
00:25:49,802 --> 00:25:53,348
And kind of see if I have
a peace about something.

419
00:25:53,431 --> 00:25:56,726
Yeah, so I haven't really had
time to do that, so…

420
00:25:57,185 --> 00:25:58,853
Obviously though, I don't want…

421
00:25:59,854 --> 00:26:02,440
I know I'm in a position of power
when I say this to you,

422
00:26:02,523 --> 00:26:07,612
so I don't want that to influence
your willingness to decide.

423
00:26:07,695 --> 00:26:10,948
I want you to be honest with me
and tell me if you…

424
00:26:11,407 --> 00:26:13,159
If it's something you don't want
to do, definitely,

425
00:26:13,785 --> 00:26:16,120
I don't want there to be the,
you know, the bias or…

426
00:26:16,204 --> 00:26:17,246
- Right.
- Yeah.

427
00:26:19,499 --> 00:26:22,960
Just off the top of my head, I would say,
"Sure, let's go with it."

428
00:26:24,253 --> 00:26:25,880
- Why not?
- Okay. Yeah, okay.

429
00:26:25,963 --> 00:26:27,131
Why not?

430
00:26:27,548 --> 00:26:31,886
- Cool. This is gonna be fun.
- It will be. It's gonna be great.

431
00:26:34,222 --> 00:26:37,225
Hi, Craig, this is Nathan Fielder
from The Rehearsal.

432
00:26:37,308 --> 00:26:38,351
How are you, sir?

433
00:26:38,434 --> 00:26:40,478
- Good, how are you?
- I'm fantastic.

434
00:26:41,104 --> 00:26:44,816
I just wanted to let you know that I'm
going to be joining the rehearsal,

435
00:26:45,608 --> 00:26:46,984
which means I'll be moving into the house

436
00:26:47,068 --> 00:26:50,905
to perform co-parenting duties along
with the current participant, Angela.

437
00:26:51,531 --> 00:26:52,824
Okay.

438
00:26:52,907 --> 00:26:55,660
As promised, we would get your approval
for any changes to the plan,

439
00:26:55,743 --> 00:26:57,620
so I'm just calling
to get your verbal consent

440
00:26:57,995 --> 00:27:02,500
that allows me to participate and interact
with Perry in the capacity of father.

441
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,002
Is that something
I can get you to agree to today?

442
00:27:05,336 --> 00:27:07,630
Yeah, I believe
that would be amicable.

443
00:27:08,589 --> 00:27:09,674
It's actually great news for you

444
00:27:09,757 --> 00:27:12,802
'cause now, there'll be two people looking
after Charlie instead of one.

445
00:27:12,885 --> 00:27:15,471
- Isn't that exciting?
- Yeah, that's great.

446
00:27:15,555 --> 00:27:17,723
I'm not sure if I sense
any hesitancy in your voice,

447
00:27:17,807 --> 00:27:20,101
but if so,
it's completely understandable.

448
00:27:20,184 --> 00:27:21,519
It's a strange experience

449
00:27:21,602 --> 00:27:24,397
and I know this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity is not for everyone.

450
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,607
So if you're feeling even
a slightest bit uncomfortable

451
00:27:26,691 --> 00:27:29,110
and would like to opt out,
that's no problem at all.

452
00:27:29,193 --> 00:27:32,780
I appreciate that.
But, no, I don't feel funny.

453
00:27:33,114 --> 00:27:36,242
Well, excellent, we're thrilled to have
your continued commitment

454
00:27:36,325 --> 00:27:37,994
to this groundbreaking project.

455
00:27:38,661 --> 00:27:40,496
Awesome, thank you
for letting us be part of it.

456
00:27:40,580 --> 00:27:44,083
- And I'm excited to see you very soon.
- All right, I'll see you soon.

457
00:27:44,167 --> 00:27:47,295
And I'm excited to see Charlie.
Excited to see Tracy.

458
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,590
I'm excited to see Sawyer.
To see Nicholas soon.

459
00:27:50,673 --> 00:27:53,843
- I'm excited to see Austin soon.
- Okay, thank you, Nathan.

460
00:27:53,926 --> 00:27:55,761
- Okay, bye.
- Bye. Bye-bye.
