1
00:00:04,922 --> 00:00:06,654
Hey, hon. What's up?
2
00:00:06,716 --> 00:00:09,566
Are you being polite
but hoping I don't answer
3
00:00:09,585 --> 00:00:12,586
because the game is on
or do you really want to know?
4
00:00:12,738 --> 00:00:16,907
Well, it's halftime, so it's
kind of a little bit of both.
5
00:00:16,925 --> 00:00:19,076
Well, I'm really frustrated.
6
00:00:19,136 --> 00:00:21,186
Our high school funding bill
is a no-brainer,
7
00:00:21,338 --> 00:00:23,671
but I am hitting
nothing but roadblocks.
8
00:00:23,733 --> 00:00:27,842
Roadblock, roadblock--
Well, may I suggest vlog 309.
9
00:00:27,903 --> 00:00:31,864
It's a light, airy take on
the inefficiency of government.
10
00:00:32,057 --> 00:00:34,516
-Okay.
-Oh, a little more robust,
11
00:00:34,577 --> 00:00:36,368
flavorful,
but a perkiness to it...
12
00:00:36,561 --> 00:00:39,521
All right, stop.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
13
00:00:39,623 --> 00:00:42,949
(chuckles) You are actually
making me want wine.
14
00:00:43,085 --> 00:00:45,602
-Mm.
-So, go, you go watch your game.
15
00:00:45,621 --> 00:00:47,120
All right.
16
00:00:47,256 --> 00:00:49,790
Sounds like you need
a little bucking up.

Fix what?
36
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:38,380
Evelyn didn't get in.
She's only on the wait list.
37
00:01:38,474 --> 00:01:40,324
-Oh...
-You have to help me.
38
00:01:40,425 --> 00:01:42,692

Oh, Annie, yeah, yeah, yeah.
41
00:01:47,683 --> 00:01:48,941
She and I used
to teach together.
42
00:01:49,134 --> 00:01:50,776
They would call us
Annie and Vannie,

at your expense.

Mom, please, help me.
51
00:02:07,703 --> 00:02:08,961

Well, Mom, please,
you-you have to.
59
00:02:37,049 --> 00:02:39,849
Radford is amazing.
They actually learn things.
60
00:02:39,869 --> 00:02:42,143
They-they teach them French.
61
00:02:42,204 --> 00:02:43,871
Sure, why teach them Mandarin?
62
00:02:44,022 --> 00:02:46,223
We only rule the world.

it's just not my strong suit.
65
00:02:50,337 --> 00:02:52,396
I-I even have a hard time asking
66
00:02:52,414 --> 00:02:53,914
for a better table
at Angelina's,
67
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:56,824
and I play tennis with Angelina.
68
00:02:56,844 --> 00:02:58,826
Well, I believe in you.
69
00:02:58,888 --> 00:03:01,162
Yes. Grease those wheels.
70
00:03:01,182 --> 00:03:04,349
Shake that tree.
Pull some strings.
71
00:03:05,911 --> 00:03:10,263
Americans have so many different
ways of saying "cheat."
72
00:03:10,357 --> 00:03:14,509
And I want my daughter to learn
how to say it in French.
73
00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:16,420
(chuckles)
74
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,012
MIKE:
Hey, Reverend.
75
00:03:18,073 --> 00:03:20,924
-Great sermon today.
-Ah, thanks.
76
00:03:20,943 --> 00:03:22,092
But I can't take all the glory.
77
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:23,702
-Some of it's God.
-Mm. Yeah.
78
00:03:23,853 --> 00:03:26,279
You know what I particularly
liked, was when you said,
79
00:03:26,373 --> 00:03:28,356
"God created everything
in his own image
80
00:03:28,459 --> 00:03:33,270
except... the Las Vegas
Raiders." Ha, ha.
81
00:03:33,288 --> 00:03:37,007
For the last time, Mike,
I did not steal your line.
82
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,384
Eh, I said it, you heard it,
83
00:03:39,577 --> 00:03:41,845
you repeat it, I get no credit.
84
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:45,224
I tell you what.
I'll mention you next week.
85
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:48,101
-I'm doing a talk on pettiness.
-Great.
86
00:03:48,887 --> 00:03:50,211
Oh, hey, Mr. B.
87
00:03:50,231 --> 00:03:51,546
-Hey.
-Uh, I fixed the sign, Reverend.
88
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:53,974
And again,
I'm sorry for the mistake.
89
00:03:54,126 --> 00:03:55,550
Well, no problem, Kyle.
90
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:58,462
Only a few people noticed
it said "Jesus Shaves."
91
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,887
MIKE:
Good, though.
92
00:03:59,990 --> 00:04:01,406
Hey, anyway, listen, uh,
93
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:03,467
I guess we're good
for hunting next Saturday.
94
00:04:03,527 --> 00:04:05,652
God a text from Ed
right during the sermon.
95
00:04:05,788 --> 00:04:07,153
Woke me right up.
96
00:04:07,306 --> 00:04:08,730
Shoot, I forgot I was gonna ask
97
00:04:08,791 --> 00:04:10,732
if you could paint
the community room Saturday.
98
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:13,660
-He's going hunting with me.
-Oh, no, uh, sorry, Mr. B.
99
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:16,997
I-If I don't paint it, it won't
get done, and needs to get done.
100
00:04:17,091 --> 00:04:19,240
-Thank you, Kyle.
-Yeah, no problem.
101
00:04:19,301 --> 00:04:21,718
All right, I'll see you later,
Mr. B.
102
00:04:22,838 --> 00:04:24,154
What?
103
00:04:24,214 --> 00:04:26,990
First you steal my jokes,
then you steal
104
00:04:27,009 --> 00:04:28,583
whatever Kyle is to me.
105
00:04:29,645 --> 00:04:33,981
Have you ever heard
of the Ten Commandments?
106
00:04:36,277 --> 00:04:37,609
VANESSA:
Oh.
107
00:04:37,802 --> 00:04:40,612
It has been too long,
Annie. (chuckles)
108
00:04:40,805 --> 00:04:42,339
I mean, don't think
we've spoken since...
109
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,024
uh, since you started
at Radford.
110
00:04:44,118 --> 00:04:45,842
Uh, congratulations.
111
00:04:45,902 --> 00:04:47,435
Oh, please. Look at you!
112
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:49,788
You're working
for Assembly Member Osgood.
113
00:04:49,957 --> 00:04:53,274
It must be such a rush being
so close to all that power.
114
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:56,019
Oh, yes. (chuckles) Yeah.
115
00:04:56,121 --> 00:04:57,687
In the state's pecking order,
116
00:04:57,748 --> 00:04:59,781
if 563 people drop dead,
117
00:04:59,842 --> 00:05:01,616
I'm governor. (laughs)
118
00:05:01,719 --> 00:05:02,950
(laughs)
119
00:05:03,012 --> 00:05:04,361
Oh, no. I-I mean, I don't...
120
00:05:04,421 --> 00:05:06,546
I don't want them to die,
of course.
121
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,624
And-and... and I know it sounds
like I've researched this,
122
00:05:09,727 --> 00:05:13,145
but-but... but really, I just...
I made up that number. I...
123
00:05:13,338 --> 00:05:15,430
I don't want them
to die, either,
124
00:05:15,524 --> 00:05:16,982
but you would make
a great governor.
125
00:05:17,175 --> 00:05:19,392
Oh. That's sweet. Um...
126
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:21,545
(clears throat)
Uh, look, I-I...
127
00:05:21,605 --> 00:05:24,656
I'm-I'm a little nervous.
I'm-I'm not really good
128
00:05:24,808 --> 00:05:28,735
at calling people and asking
for, you know, uh, favors.
129
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:30,662
Vannie, it's me.
130
00:05:30,855 --> 00:05:32,146
How can I help?
131
00:05:32,166 --> 00:05:34,148
Uh, well, um... (clears throat)
132
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:35,500
Well, you probably know this,
133
00:05:35,693 --> 00:05:37,410
uh, or maybe
you don't know this already,
134
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:40,188
but my-my granddaughter
Evelyn Vogelson
135
00:05:40,190 --> 00:05:42,490
is on the waitlist for Radford.
136
00:05:42,593 --> 00:05:45,177
I didn't know
she was your granddaughter.
137
00:05:45,328 --> 00:05:47,420
I knew
that Sarah Anderson was.
138
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:50,090
Mandy's always posting
pictures of her on your page.
139
00:05:50,184 --> 00:05:51,666
-Mm.
-She's adorable.
140
00:05:51,727 --> 00:05:55,020
Well, no.
She can be a little much.
141
00:05:56,023 --> 00:05:57,189
Oh, Sarah. No, Sarah.
142
00:05:57,358 --> 00:05:59,524
Yes. Oh, yes. (laughs)
143
00:05:59,717 --> 00:06:01,418
Adorable. Yes.
144
00:06:01,436 --> 00:06:03,937
As soon as I saw her name,
145
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:06,439
I moved the application
to the top of the stack.
146
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:08,724
Gosh, now I feel terrible.
I-I was actually calling
147
00:06:08,819 --> 00:06:12,019
to ask for your help
with Evelyn's application.
148
00:06:12,122 --> 00:06:14,373
Oh, consider her in. No proble.
149
00:06:14,566 --> 00:06:16,099
I mean,
how can I ever repay you?
150
00:06:16,159 --> 00:06:17,617
Seriously, anything you need.
151
00:06:17,769 --> 00:06:19,285
(laughing):
Don't worry about it.
152
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:22,381
Radford Academy is happy
to accommodate anyone
153
00:06:22,532 --> 00:06:25,467
from the assembly member's
office. (laughs)
154
00:06:27,930 --> 00:06:31,390
No. No. No, no, no, no.
155
00:06:31,583 --> 00:06:35,135
I-I wasn't calling you
in any, um, official capacity.
156
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:37,044
I was just, you know,
157
00:06:37,106 --> 00:06:39,456
loving grandma to-to old friend.
158
00:06:39,516 --> 00:06:41,566
Mm-hmm. Of course. I hear you.
159
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,218
This conversation
never happened.
160
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,072
Uh, no. No, no.
No, it happened.
161
00:06:47,265 --> 00:06:49,908
It's happening.
Please just stop winking. D...
162
00:06:50,059 --> 00:06:51,893
I completely understand.
163
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:55,080
And it's not like we expect
the assembly member to approve-
164
00:06:55,273 --> 00:06:58,232
oh, I don't know--
a parking lot variance
165
00:06:58,252 --> 00:07:00,919
that we've been
having trouble with.
166
00:07:01,112 --> 00:07:02,570
-What now?!
-(laughing)
167
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:04,906
Anything
for an old friend, right?
168
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:06,591
Got to run.
169
00:07:06,743 --> 00:07:09,094
I need to send Evelyn's parents
our acceptance packet.
170
00:07:09,287 --> 00:07:11,337
-Bye-bye, Vannie.
-No! Wait! Wait.
171
00:07:11,490 --> 00:07:13,915
No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait!
Annie, no!
172
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:16,685
Oh. (sputters)
173
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,108
Morning, Vanessa.
174
00:07:23,301 --> 00:07:24,943
How did you sleep?
175
00:07:25,094 --> 00:07:26,503
Well, I must have been restless,
176
00:07:26,521 --> 00:07:30,782
because my smart watch
logged three miles.
177
00:07:30,934 --> 00:07:32,676
(Vanessa sighs)
178
00:07:32,736 --> 00:07:34,027
(Jen clears throat)
179
00:07:34,121 --> 00:07:37,347
Uh, how did you sleep, Jen?
180
00:07:37,407 --> 00:07:39,273
Oh, me?
181
00:07:39,293 --> 00:07:41,367
I tossed and turned all night
182
00:07:41,462 --> 00:07:44,187
thinking about how the dirty
gears of government get used
183
00:07:44,247 --> 00:07:46,706
to crank
through personal agendas.
184
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,617
If you are talking
about that phone call,
185
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:52,195
I... look, I thought about it
all night long,
186
00:07:52,255 --> 00:07:53,955
and I didn't do anything wrong.
187
00:07:54,057 --> 00:07:55,381
It was all Annie.
188
00:07:55,534 --> 00:07:57,367
-Good morning.
-Morning.
189
00:07:57,427 --> 00:07:58,885
-Hey.
-Hey, what are you guys
doing here?
190
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:00,812
Well, uh, I brought you this.
191
00:08:01,005 --> 00:08:03,039
-Ooh, thank you.
-Mm-hmm.
192
00:08:03,141 --> 00:08:05,208
You know it's only 9:00.
(laughs)
193
00:08:05,268 --> 00:08:07,569
I mean...
No, it's early for me.
194
00:08:09,531 --> 00:08:11,973
Well, now that I've been a mom
for a while, I get the drinking.
195
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:13,658
(laughter)
196
00:08:13,851 --> 00:08:16,978
Well, I just wanted to thank you
for getting Evelyn into Radford.
197
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:18,497
She's gonna be a Pelican!
198
00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:21,983
Congratulations
on pulling strings.
199
00:08:22,044 --> 00:08:26,463
Didn't Lori Loughlin do time
in the clink for that?
200
00:08:27,824 --> 00:08:29,799
(guttural hiss)
201
00:08:31,202 --> 00:08:33,160
I-I'm just happy
everything worked out.
202
00:08:33,222 --> 00:08:35,180
I know. Well,
now Sarah and Evelyn get
203
00:08:35,373 --> 00:08:37,164
to be at the same school.
It's so great!
204
00:08:37,226 --> 00:08:39,092
I know, and it's all thanks
to you, Mom.
205
00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:41,019
Mm, well, I didn't really
do anything.
206
00:08:41,212 --> 00:08:43,355
But I'm keeping the wine.
207
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:45,357
Well, I better get going.
I've only got three months
208
00:08:45,550 --> 00:08:49,343
to convince Evelyn
that we don't bite our friends.
209
00:08:49,363 --> 00:08:50,529
Bye.
210
00:08:50,722 --> 00:08:53,698
-Best news ever. Yay!
-(door closes)
211
00:08:53,891 --> 00:08:56,092
No yay. Worst news ever.
212
00:08:56,152 --> 00:08:58,261
What's wrong?
213
00:08:58,321 --> 00:09:00,113
Mom, Sarah got in on her own.
214
00:09:00,207 --> 00:09:01,856
And then you had
to go twist somebody's arm
215
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,283
and get Evelyn in, too.
216
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,435
And now it makes
Sarah getting in less special.
217
00:09:05,453 --> 00:09:09,939
No. Honey, Sarah may have gotten
special treatment, also.
218
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,609
Uh, I don't think so, okay?
219
00:09:12,669 --> 00:09:15,387
Sarah got in
because of her talents.
220
00:09:15,580 --> 00:09:17,722
We sent a horsey
she drew with her application.
221
00:09:17,915 --> 00:09:20,392
All right. Mandy, I'm sorry.
222
00:09:20,585 --> 00:09:22,727
Look, Annie knew
she was my granddaughter.
223
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,788
She did it for me.
224
00:09:24,889 --> 00:09:27,140
You sure, Mom?
225
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,142
Or could this be like
when you think
226
00:09:29,236 --> 00:09:31,218
that people are complimenting
your dancing?
227
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:33,071
-Hey!
-Ooh.
228
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,149
Vanessa,
some flowers came for you.
229
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:38,577
-Oh.
-From Anne Fairbanks.
230
00:09:40,196 --> 00:09:41,746
It doesn't mean anything.
231
00:09:41,898 --> 00:09:43,156
You know, in the old days,
232
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:44,808
people would
send each other flowers
233
00:09:44,868 --> 00:09:46,918
after every phone call.
234
00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:51,923
"So happy to have your
granddaughters at our school."
235
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:55,668
It's nice.
And-and totally aboveboard.
236
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:58,412
"Say hi to Theresa Osgood
for me."
237
00:09:58,432 --> 00:10:01,324
Semicolon, parentheses,
semicolon, parentheses.
238
00:10:01,426 --> 00:10:03,101
What does that last part mean?
239
00:10:03,294 --> 00:10:04,752
It's an emoji.
240
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:06,688
It means, "Wink, wink."
241
00:10:10,927 --> 00:10:13,169
-What do you mean,
Kyle's not hunting with us?
-Yeah.
242
00:10:13,229 --> 00:10:15,429
Without him,
it's just two old guys
243
00:10:15,449 --> 00:10:18,450
sitting around a fire...
bitching about things.
244
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:20,952
I like having Kyle with us.
245
00:10:21,145 --> 00:10:22,603
He runs after stuff we kill.
246
00:10:22,623 --> 00:10:25,940
-He's faster than the dog.
-Yes. Yes.
247
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:28,017
-He spruces up the cabin.
-Yeah.
248
00:10:28,078 --> 00:10:29,352
And that chili of his.
249
00:10:29,371 --> 00:10:31,020
(laughing):
Oh, it's a...
250
00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:34,132
-It's like hunting
with Martha Stewart.
-Yeah.
251
00:10:34,325 --> 00:10:39,195
That woman can make a cake rise
at 10,000 feet.
252
00:10:39,214 --> 00:10:41,306
-Ah.
-Well, look at that.
253
00:10:41,499 --> 00:10:43,808
If it isn't Reverend Paul's
new little paint buddy.
254
00:10:44,001 --> 00:10:44,976
Yeah.
255
00:10:45,169 --> 00:10:47,503
Did he really call me that?
256
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,481
Come on, son. Come on.
257
00:10:49,674 --> 00:10:51,316
You got to come hunting with us.
Come on now.
258
00:10:51,467 --> 00:10:53,985
Well, you know I can't say "no"
to you, Mr. Alzate.
259
00:10:54,178 --> 00:10:55,469
Good. There you go.
260
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:56,713
But no.
261
00:10:56,731 --> 00:10:58,156
Come on, Kyle.
You're a grown man.
262
00:10:58,325 --> 00:10:59,991
You don't have to listen
to somebody just because
263
00:11:00,143 --> 00:11:04,237
he's wearing a robe and a fancy
silk sash like he's Prince.
264
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:05,646
ED:
Come on, now,
265
00:11:05,707 --> 00:11:07,907
be a little selfish--
it's underrated.
266
00:11:08,059 --> 00:11:09,668
(phone chimes)
267
00:11:09,819 --> 00:11:11,536
Oh, yeah. It's Reverend Paul.
268
00:11:11,730 --> 00:11:14,655
He's asking me to, uh, put some
hymnals into storage after work.
269
00:11:14,758 --> 00:11:17,217
-Perfect time
to put your foot down.
-Yep.
270
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:19,085
Okay.
271
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,179
Okay, I'll, uh,
I'll tell him to wait.
272
00:11:21,330 --> 00:11:23,164
-ED: Good.
-For a few minutes,
'cause I'm gonna stop on the way
273
00:11:23,225 --> 00:11:24,933
and get him a smoothie.
274
00:11:25,969 --> 00:11:28,186
He loves raspberry-mango.
275
00:11:28,337 --> 00:11:30,021
-ED: Hmm.
-MIKE: Yeah.
276
00:11:30,214 --> 00:11:31,856
Martha Stewart
can make a smoothie
277
00:11:32,049 --> 00:11:34,734
out of acorns and lake water.
278
00:11:36,721 --> 00:11:38,938
♪
279
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:40,514
Mm. Good you're here.
280
00:11:40,534 --> 00:11:43,017
I was just about
to call Annie back.
281
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,869
Shouldn't you get
a burner phone?
282
00:11:45,021 --> 00:11:46,353
(video call ringing)
283
00:11:46,456 --> 00:11:48,481
No, there is not going to be
any dealmaking.
284
00:11:48,542 --> 00:11:50,934
I am going to do
the ethical thing.
285
00:11:50,994 --> 00:11:52,026
(line chimes)
286
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:54,028
Oh, hey. Hi, Annie.
287
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:58,032
Vannie! I didn't expect to hear
from you again so soon.
288
00:11:58,093 --> 00:12:01,202
Well, I hope
I'm not Anne-oying you.
289
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:04,130
(laughing)
290
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:07,559
Still making
those delightful puns.
291
00:12:07,752 --> 00:12:10,286
Is there something else
that I can do for you?
292
00:12:10,346 --> 00:12:12,138
Mm. Well, actually,
293
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:15,475
I just need to clarify
our last conversation.
294
00:12:15,569 --> 00:12:19,386
I don't want my granddaughters'
acceptance to your school
295
00:12:19,489 --> 00:12:22,056
to be a "quid pro quo" thing.
296
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:24,801
No, of course not.
297
00:12:24,861 --> 00:12:25,985
VANESSA:
Uh, no...
298
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,470
Now, uh, now, I'm serious.
299
00:12:27,530 --> 00:12:29,806
I'm... I-I was calling you
as a friend,
300
00:12:29,824 --> 00:12:33,142
not as an employee
of an elected official.
301
00:12:33,203 --> 00:12:34,919
I get it.
302
00:12:35,071 --> 00:12:36,755
Perhaps we can discuss it
next time you visit.
303
00:12:36,948 --> 00:12:38,757
There will be plenty of parkin.
304
00:12:38,950 --> 00:12:40,149
-(chuckling)
-No.
305
00:12:40,210 --> 00:12:41,426
Stop. Stop. Please.
306
00:12:41,595 --> 00:12:44,320
Just stop winking.
Look, uh...
307
00:12:44,422 --> 00:12:46,672
the thing is,
with my granddaughters there,
308
00:12:46,825 --> 00:12:49,750
I'm gonna have to be
even stricter on Radford.
309
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:51,252
What do you mean?
310
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:54,755
Well, I-I can't help you
with the parking lot.
311
00:12:54,858 --> 00:12:56,590
I don't trade favors.
312
00:12:56,651 --> 00:13:00,670
I-I don't even want
the appearance of misconduct.
313
00:13:00,730 --> 00:13:02,171
You understand.
314
00:13:02,232 --> 00:13:04,765
Of course. I understand.
315
00:13:04,826 --> 00:13:06,117
Thank you.
316
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:08,344
You know, to really avoid
317
00:13:08,404 --> 00:13:10,680
the "appearance of misconduct,"
318
00:13:10,698 --> 00:13:13,866
maybe Sarah and Evelyn
shouldn't be Pelicans at all.
319
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,776
Wait. No. Annie.
320
00:13:15,796 --> 00:13:19,589
-Annie.
-It's Anne!
Have a good day, Vanessa.
321
00:13:22,085 --> 00:13:24,427
What the hell!?
322
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:34,387
Heading up to bed. Come on up.
323
00:13:34,539 --> 00:13:36,648
What's the point?
I won't sleep, anyway.
324
00:13:36,841 --> 00:13:40,568
Well, you don't have
to go to sleep right away.
325
00:13:42,513 --> 00:13:45,639
Way to read the room, Mike.
326
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:49,143
(sighs):
You know,
I try to help the girls,
327
00:13:49,204 --> 00:13:51,145
but they just end up
upset with me.
328
00:13:51,206 --> 00:13:52,313
I mean, look at this.
329
00:13:52,374 --> 00:13:54,833
Kris is furious. Mandy is, too.
330
00:13:55,026 --> 00:13:56,167
Mandy's not upset. Look at that.
331
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,077
She sent you
that cute little emoji--
332
00:13:58,229 --> 00:14:01,422
soft serve ice cream
with a big smile.
333
00:14:03,626 --> 00:14:06,511
Or somebody
that needs probiotics.
334
00:14:06,662 --> 00:14:09,422
-(groans): I hate politics.
-Of course you do,
335
00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:11,516
'cause you're a kind,
loving woman with morals.
336
00:14:11,709 --> 00:14:14,001
-And I love that about you.
-(wry chuckle)
337
00:14:14,104 --> 00:14:15,578
Well, I try.
338
00:14:15,597 --> 00:14:17,430
Well, stop.
339
00:14:17,524 --> 00:14:20,416
(chuckles):
What? What, are you telling me
to just quit?
340
00:14:20,476 --> 00:14:22,418
I'm not telling you anything.
341
00:14:22,478 --> 00:14:24,270
I'm gonna ask you a question.
342
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:26,756
Why did you get into politics
in the first place?
343
00:14:26,774 --> 00:14:29,367
Well, you know.
I mean, to-to do good things,
344
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,262
for the schools, for
the students, blah, blah, blah.
345
00:14:33,323 --> 00:14:35,765
But without compromising
my integrity.
346
00:14:35,783 --> 00:14:39,860
Ah. So you thought you'd be
the one to rise above it all.
347
00:14:39,921 --> 00:14:41,454
Well, why can't I?
348
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:43,956
You know what?
I-I'm just, I'm so sick of this.
349
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:45,249
'Cause nothing can get done
350
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,110
without scratching
somebody's back.
351
00:14:47,170 --> 00:14:48,219
Because that's the game.
352
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,037
That's not a game to me, Mike.
353
00:14:50,098 --> 00:14:52,281
It's-it's people's lives.
It's, uh,
354
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:54,283
it's an arts program
for inner-city kids.
355
00:14:54,344 --> 00:14:56,227
It's a gym for basketball.
356
00:14:56,420 --> 00:14:59,022
All right, well,
technically a game, but...
357
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:01,065
You know what I mean.
358
00:15:01,217 --> 00:15:03,126
All right,
can't change the game.
359
00:15:03,186 --> 00:15:06,053
What you can do,
change your approach.
360
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:08,631
What are telling me,
to embrace the evil?
361
00:15:08,691 --> 00:15:11,817
Well, I don't think
compromise is evil.
362
00:15:11,970 --> 00:15:13,560
It's ugly and frustrating,
363
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:16,748
but very often it's the only way
to get what you want done.
364
00:15:16,899 --> 00:15:20,643
Why can't it just get done
because it's right?
365
00:15:20,662 --> 00:15:22,069
"Right"
from whose point of view?
366
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:23,588
I think what...
what we have to do
367
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:28,343
is stop thinking
that what they want is evil.
368
00:15:30,096 --> 00:15:32,430
Why does that sound so familiar?
369
00:15:32,623 --> 00:15:33,506
Vlog 167.
370
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,174
Mm.
371
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:36,750
Really, like a fine wine,
372
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:38,436
that one gets better
with age, you know?
373
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:42,515
♪
374
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:44,108
-Hey, Mike. Come on in.
-Hey, Reverend.
375
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:45,851
Would you care for a smoothie?
I can send Kyle.
376
00:15:45,987 --> 00:15:48,387
This one's got boba.
377
00:15:48,490 --> 00:15:50,506
That's kind of what I want
to talk about.
378
00:15:50,566 --> 00:15:52,933
Um, we've known each other
for years, right?
379
00:15:52,953 --> 00:15:56,496
Right. I mean, I don't see you
every Sunday, like I should.
380
00:15:56,623 --> 00:15:59,791
Yeah, and I don't steal
your jokes like I should.
381
00:15:59,984 --> 00:16:01,442
(chuckles)
382
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:03,202
But we can be direct
with each other.
383
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,705
If you've got something
on your mind, Mike,
384
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:07,114
just go ahead and say it.
385
00:16:07,175 --> 00:16:09,550
-Yeah, all right.
-Hang on.
386
00:16:11,328 --> 00:16:13,045
Just in case you swear.
387
00:16:13,198 --> 00:16:14,547
-You know how you are.
-Yeah.
388
00:16:14,641 --> 00:16:17,934
Look, I think
you're taking advantage of Kyle.
389
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:21,295
Really? In what way?
390
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:24,390
Come on,
you got him doing errands,
391
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:26,633
running stuff for the church,
painting rooms,
392
00:16:26,695 --> 00:16:28,044
and going to get...
393
00:16:28,104 --> 00:16:30,697
boba, whatever that is.
394
00:16:31,992 --> 00:16:34,050
Okay, one,
395
00:16:34,068 --> 00:16:35,885
I don't make him do anything.
396
00:16:35,945 --> 00:16:40,248
And two, how do you not know
what boba is?
397
00:16:41,893 --> 00:16:43,150
I'm sorry, Mike,
398
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:44,985
Kyle is on his way
to becoming a minister.
399
00:16:45,005 --> 00:16:48,589
-Right, yeah.
-And he does these things
out of duty.
400
00:16:49,867 --> 00:16:51,400
(snickers)
401
00:16:51,461 --> 00:16:53,160
(laughing):
When I was a kid,
402
00:16:53,221 --> 00:16:56,255
we always said, "Do your doody."
403
00:16:56,391 --> 00:16:59,592
And that's exactly why
I turned Jesus around.
404
00:16:59,686 --> 00:17:04,188
I think it's important for Kyle
to have some fun,
405
00:17:04,381 --> 00:17:05,915
you know,
lighten up a little bit,
406
00:17:05,975 --> 00:17:07,341
and there's nothing more fun
407
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:09,193
than spending time
in a cold duck blind
408
00:17:09,386 --> 00:17:12,012
with two angry old men.
409
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:13,514
-Hey, Reverend.
-Hey.
410
00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:16,609
Uh-oh.
Why is Jesus turned around?
411
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:19,520
Oh. Hey, Mr. B.
412
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:21,539
Mike and I were just talking
about you.
413
00:17:21,732 --> 00:17:24,267
Yeah, I was saying how,
you know, you work hard,
414
00:17:24,327 --> 00:17:26,377
and it might be a good idea
to go hunting
415
00:17:26,529 --> 00:17:28,954
so you could cut back
a little bit, enjoy yourself.
416
00:17:29,107 --> 00:17:30,214
And I was reminding Mike
417
00:17:30,407 --> 00:17:32,216
that you do these things
for the church
418
00:17:32,409 --> 00:17:34,052
because of your higher calling.
419
00:17:34,245 --> 00:17:36,112
I have a confession.
420
00:17:36,172 --> 00:17:39,131
Okay, wrong church,
but go ahead.
421
00:17:39,225 --> 00:17:41,951
I don't paint the community room
or move hymnals
422
00:17:41,969 --> 00:17:43,636
for your approval.
423
00:17:43,788 --> 00:17:46,472
And I don't go hunting with you
so that I can make the fire
424
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,734
and cook chili
for you and Mr. Alzate.
425
00:17:49,927 --> 00:17:51,627
Well, why do you do it?
426
00:17:51,687 --> 00:17:53,571
For me.
427
00:17:53,764 --> 00:17:55,131
Huh.
428
00:17:55,191 --> 00:17:56,482
When I do things
for other people,
429
00:17:56,634 --> 00:17:58,409
it makes me feel
like a better person.
430
00:17:58,602 --> 00:18:01,137
Like I'm doing something
to help the world.
431
00:18:01,197 --> 00:18:04,323
Like Jesus will be proud of me.
432
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:07,210
Does that make me selfish?
433
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:10,162
I don't think so.
434
00:18:10,256 --> 00:18:12,256
No, son, it doesn't.
435
00:18:12,408 --> 00:18:13,740
Of course you guys
would say that.
436
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,501
All you do is think
about other people.
437
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:19,322
Just like you're doing
with me right now.
438
00:18:19,382 --> 00:18:22,683
Man, I wish I could be
more like you guys.
439
00:18:24,495 --> 00:18:26,662
I really don't think
I want him to become like us.
440
00:18:26,722 --> 00:18:30,591
No, and I certainly don't
want him to become like you.
441
00:18:30,652 --> 00:18:34,186
Which is why I'll probably
cancel that trip on Saturday
442
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,188
and help him paint that room.
443
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:38,357
Well, I think
that's a splendid idea, Mike.
444
00:18:38,493 --> 00:18:40,785
I do, too. So what time do you
want to start on Saturday?
445
00:18:40,936 --> 00:18:42,194
It's up to you.
446
00:18:42,347 --> 00:18:44,455
I won't be here.
I'm golfing Saturday.
447
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,947
-Hi. We rushed right over.
-Mm!
448
00:18:54,008 --> 00:18:55,949
Your text said
you had good news.
449
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:57,860
So...
450
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,196
fire away!
451
00:19:00,214 --> 00:19:02,789
You girls are gonna love this.
452
00:19:02,851 --> 00:19:04,458
Okay.
453
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:08,354
I got the votes to pass
my high school arts bill.
454
00:19:10,391 --> 00:19:11,465
Wow!
455
00:19:11,526 --> 00:19:14,485
(laughs)
Second best news ever.
456
00:19:15,530 --> 00:19:17,655
-Now tell us the best.
-I...
457
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:21,325
I was just so anxious
about swapping political favors.
458
00:19:21,477 --> 00:19:25,163
I mean, I didn't want to be
the Spiro Agnew of Colorado.
459
00:19:26,023 --> 00:19:27,999
I'm sure. Who would?
460
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:31,727
"Spiro Agnew" is a spell
in Harry Potter.
461
00:19:31,787 --> 00:19:33,171
But then I realized,
462
00:19:33,322 --> 00:19:35,231
a little compromise
is worthwhile
463
00:19:35,291 --> 00:19:37,750
as long as you can achieve
something meaningful.
464
00:19:37,844 --> 00:19:39,084
I mean, this bill, it's...
465
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:41,404
it's gonna change kids' lives.
466
00:19:41,422 --> 00:19:43,848
Yeah. Yeah.
Meaningful for the kids.
467
00:19:44,041 --> 00:19:45,257
Yeah.
468
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:47,852
Other people's kids.
469
00:19:48,021 --> 00:19:50,337
We were wondering about ours.
470
00:19:51,191 --> 00:19:52,932
I don't even know
other people's kids.
471
00:19:53,084 --> 00:19:55,676
It's practically illegal
to look at them.
472
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:59,513
Did Evelyn and Sarah
get back into Radford or not?
473
00:19:59,574 --> 00:20:02,700
Oh, no.
That ship sailed long ago.
474
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,095
Especially since I blocked
the variance
475
00:20:06,155 --> 00:20:08,689
for Radford to build
their parking lot.
476
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:10,041
Wait, what?
477
00:20:10,192 --> 00:20:11,784
Why would you do that?
478
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,378
Well, I mean, I had to do it,
because they weren't zoned
479
00:20:14,530 --> 00:20:17,790
for a lot that size,
and I wanted to because...
480
00:20:17,884 --> 00:20:19,967
screw Annie!
481
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:23,946
-What about us?
-Yeah.
482
00:20:24,006 --> 00:20:25,798
Well, what-what about you?
483
00:20:25,950 --> 00:20:27,558
Oh, oh, all right, so...
484
00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:31,044
I guess the girls won't learn
French before they're four.
485
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:33,231
Man, I just,
I think they'll be fine.
486
00:20:33,424 --> 00:20:36,567
You know, as long as they
don't have business in Paris.
487
00:20:37,353 --> 00:20:39,462
Mom, uh, that's not the point.
488
00:20:39,522 --> 00:20:42,889
We-we just, we wanted
to give them an advantage.
489
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:44,149
Oh.
490
00:20:44,244 --> 00:20:46,244
Well, because there's
no advantage
491
00:20:46,395 --> 00:20:48,562
to coming from an intact family
492
00:20:48,623 --> 00:20:53,251
with loving parents
who are doing quite well?
493
00:20:54,036 --> 00:20:57,088
Well, I did think
there'd be more.
494
00:20:58,424 --> 00:21:00,258
I don't know,
I-I guess Kyle and I
495
00:21:00,451 --> 00:21:02,651
could just teach Sarah French
ourselves.
496
00:21:02,670 --> 00:21:05,412
Even though our...
our French is--
497
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:08,391
(French accent):
how you say?-- Pepé Le Pew.
498
00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:11,918
You know, Mom...
499
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:14,497
you're
a really great politician.
500
00:21:14,557 --> 00:21:17,591
Even if you suck a little
as Grandma.
501
00:21:17,652 --> 00:21:19,944
(chuckles):
I'm kidding! I'm kidding!
502
00:21:20,095 --> 00:21:24,115
Well, thanks. I, uh, I knew
you guys would understand.
503
00:21:24,308 --> 00:21:26,525
Man, wouldn't it be great
if you could just cast
504
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:31,038
a Spiro Agnew
and solve all our problems?
505
00:21:33,034 --> 00:21:34,700
-I will try.
