this is just about bikini bodies,

00:00:21,605 --> 00:00:24,399
I tell them what I hear from you,

00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,028
women franchise owners
from all over the country.
7
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:29,363
[Sheila] Congratulations, Tuscaloosa!
8
00:00:29,363 --> 00:00:33,742
About how you're not afraid
to walk to your car at night anymore.
9
00:00:33,742 --> 00:00:36,870
- [Sheila] You don't need Mace...
- About how you don't need to carry Mace
10
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:39,289
because you carry yourself
with confidence.
11
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:41,625
Nobody is gonna mess with you. Am I right?

- [students cheering]
- [Sheila] Strength in Numbers.
13
00:00:43,502 --> 00:00:46,255
About how you stopped abusing your bodies
14
00:00:46,255 --> 00:00:49,633
- with pills and restrictive dieting...
- [Sheila] Let's do this thing! [cheers]
15
00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:53,637
...and started caring for them
with movement and intuitive eating.
16
00:00:53,637 --> 00:00:56,098
[Sheila] Congratulations, Tampa!
17
00:00:56,098 --> 00:00:59,726
- About how owning your own business...
- [Sheila] Trenton!
18
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:02,312
...gave you the economic freedom
to leave an abusive relationship.
19
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:05,147
[Sheila] Tulsa!
20
00:01:05,147 --> 00:01:11,154
The principle behind every Strength
in Numbers franchise is female ownership.

[Sheila]
It's not just about building muscles.
26
00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:29,298
It's about building community, going from
following along to leading the charge,
27
00:01:30,048 --> 00:01:35,179
teaching, sharing, growing, confidence,
28
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:38,098
courage, commitment,
29
00:01:38,849 --> 00:01:43,645
becoming your own boss,
taking charge of your own destiny.
30
00:01:44,563 --> 00:01:45,564

["Control" playing on car radio]

35
00:01:57,659 --> 00:01:59,286
Would you mind turning that down, please?
36
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:00,871
[driver] Of course.
37
00:02:01,997 --> 00:02:04,333
- [song continues at a lower volume]
- [sighing]
38
00:02:14,843 --> 00:02:15,761
Nothing.
39
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:20,307
It doesn't have to be big. Just one thing.
Anything. As long as it's new.
40
00:02:21,475 --> 00:02:22,476
Nope.
41
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:25,562
Okay. I'll go first then.
42
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:30,692
Um, today I learned
that you can heal a cut with breast milk.
43
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:32,402
- I know, it's weird, right?
- [chuckles]
44
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:36,865
But think about it, that your body can
make something that's medicine and food.
45
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:39,117
[sighs] Mm-mmm.
46
00:02:39,117 --> 00:02:41,787
No? Okay, sweetie. Good night.
47
00:02:41,787 --> 00:02:43,330
- Good night.
- Love you.
48
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:45,457
- Love you. Good night.
- Have a good sleep.

[classical music playing]
50
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:53,674
Mmm.
51
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:56,468
That smells great.
52
00:02:57,511 --> 00:03:00,055
I'm a little rusty
on the grill these days.
53
00:03:00,931 --> 00:03:03,350
- But let's see what we have here.
- Mmm.
54
00:03:05,811 --> 00:03:10,732
Oh, not to toot my own horn,
but that is perfectly cooked.
55
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:13,485
- [chuckles] Oh, delicious. Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
56
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,285
Welcome home.
57
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:23,954
It's nice to be here with you.
58
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:28,333
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
59
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:31,545
- That is good. I like that.
- Mmm. [sniffs]
60
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:35,340
It was a gift from someone.
[clicks tongue] Business acquaintance.
61
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:36,258
- Mmm.
- [chuckles]
62
00:03:36,258 --> 00:03:38,218
It's good to see you enjoying it.
63
00:03:38,802 --> 00:03:40,971
One of the many pleasures
you have brought into my life.
64
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:44,141
- Hmm.
- [sips, swallows]
65
00:03:45,434 --> 00:03:47,603
I'm sure Maya is happy to have you back.
66
00:03:47,603 --> 00:03:49,229
Never quite as much as I imagine
67
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:52,065
when I'm sitting there
at the Cincinnati Airport. [chuckles]
68
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,859
But I can't complain.
69
00:03:53,859 --> 00:03:57,946
You know, she's gotten so close to Monica.
Which is a good thing.
70
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,782
- You were missed. Believe me.
- Mmm. Mmm.
71
00:04:03,994 --> 00:04:07,122
- So, you were in Cincinnati this time?
- Mmm.
72
00:04:07,623 --> 00:04:09,416
Maybe Tulsa? [scoffs]
73
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:11,418
They all start to blend together.
74
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,004
It's a satisfying grind, but...
75
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:16,882
- It is a grind.
- Mmm.
76
00:04:18,509 --> 00:04:19,760
[clicks tongue, sighs]
77
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,639
I wanna talk to the team about...
[swallows] ...changing things up,
78
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:26,266
starting to delegate some of the travel.
79
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:29,394
You don't wanna slow down now, do you?
80
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:32,523
When you're so close
to the top of the mountain?
81
00:04:34,024 --> 00:04:35,567
Maybe I have other mountains, you know?
82
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:37,569
[chuckles] Other priorities. Maya.
83
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:40,697
My work with the foundation.
That's just getting started.
84
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:42,658
This is your peak earning time.
85
00:04:43,367 --> 00:04:48,288
Just imagine all the good you can do later
if you add to the coffers now.
86
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:53,877
I have to think of my health,
my own ongoing recovery.
87
00:04:53,877 --> 00:04:56,046
Mentally. Physically.
88
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:57,631
Of course.
89
00:04:58,215 --> 00:05:00,551
You have to take care of yourself.
90
00:05:05,681 --> 00:05:07,933
But... [sighs]
91
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:12,896
...don't you use the foundation in part
to help support your ex-husband?
92
00:05:12,896 --> 00:05:14,022
[scoffs]
93
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:19,570
Yes. Danny received one of our grants
for his environmental work.
94
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:21,738
Which is part of our mission.
95
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:24,741
Of course, it's not the only thing we do.
96
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:25,742
[scoffs] I'm sorry.
97
00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:29,955
The whole premise of ecology is flawed.
98
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:34,418
Stop man from destroying nature
99
00:05:34,418 --> 00:05:36,128
- when nature itself...
- But--
100
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:38,213
- ...is violent and destructive.
- [object clatters]
101
00:05:38,213 --> 00:05:39,298
What was that?
102
00:05:39,298 --> 00:05:42,467
To think that some human
can put a stop to that, is just--
103
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:45,345
You didn't hear that?
It sounds like somebody's out there.
104
00:05:47,931 --> 00:05:49,933
It's probably just the ocean breeze.
I could have a look.
105
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:53,896
No, it's okay. I'm perfectly capable
of taking a look myself.
106
00:05:53,896 --> 00:05:57,065
Thank you. You sit. Enjoy. [kisses]
107
00:06:25,219 --> 00:06:26,595
[chuckles]
108
00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:31,225
You were right.
There was nobody there. [chuckles]
109
00:06:52,204 --> 00:06:55,165
[Danny] Good morning, friends,
enemies and everyone in between.
110
00:06:55,165 --> 00:06:58,919
If you are up and alive
and listening to the sound of my voice,
111
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:00,712
I bid you welcome.

K-S-A-Y. I am Danny Rubin, your host.
115
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:15,519
And with me, as always,
in our veritable Versailles of a studio,
116
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:19,106
my one and only, my friend,
my comrade-in-arms,
117
00:07:19,106 --> 00:07:21,483
uh, in many ways, the love of my life--
118
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:23,527
Jesus Christ, this gets longer every week.
119
00:07:23,527 --> 00:07:25,320
Well, you get longer every week and--
120
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,407
Impossible.
I've been 6'4'' since the fifth grade.
121
00:07:28,407 --> 00:07:30,951
- That cannot be the truth.
- No. I couldn't fit on the school bus.
122
00:07:30,951 --> 00:07:33,412
They had to saw off the whole front row
for me. Yeah.
123
00:07:33,412 --> 00:07:35,998
I bet they did.
Everybody, that is Jerry Goldman.
124
00:07:35,998 --> 00:07:38,792
Jerry, should we go ahead
and, uh, give folks the, uh--
125
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,878
the dish on what we have for them
in this week's show?
126
00:07:40,878 --> 00:07:43,046
Per usual,
I have no idea what we're doing.
127
00:07:43,046 --> 00:07:44,673
Perfect. Even better.
128
00:07:44,673 --> 00:07:46,133
So, away we go.
129
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,427
Today,
we're gonna be getting into the sick,
130
00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:50,554
- twisted origins of America's love affair...
- Yeah.
131
00:07:50,554 --> 00:07:53,056
{\an8}...with fossil fuels
and how it is poisoning our planet.
132
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:55,809
{\an8}And we're also gonna be discussing
some radical,
133
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:58,729
{\an8}new ideas for renewable alternative fuels.
134
00:07:58,729 --> 00:08:00,230
Cooking oil!
135
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:03,567
I mean, who would have thought
cooking oil would save our asses.
136
00:08:03,567 --> 00:08:06,528
We are gonna get there. We're gonna get
there, Jer. Just gimme-- gimme a second.
137
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:08,405
We're, uh--
We're gonna play... [smacks lips]
138
00:08:08,405 --> 00:08:10,824
...an interview that we did with a--
139
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:13,744
a young woman
who I've gotten to know very well
140
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:15,913
- over the past couple of years.
- Yeah. Yeah.
141
00:08:15,913 --> 00:08:18,498
And, uh, she's got me hooked on a, uh--
142
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:23,754
a new and forward-thinking way
of how to power our cars and our lives.
143
00:08:23,754 --> 00:08:26,173
We make fried chicken with it.
144
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:28,050
{\an8}I mean-- Tater Tots, french fries--
145
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:29,760
{\an8}- I mean, how wild is that?
- Jerry! Jerry!
146
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,181
{\an8}It's just, I'm excited to be here, man.
To do this with you.
147
00:08:34,181 --> 00:08:36,433
Yeah. And we're gonna get into all that
and more
148
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:41,563
after we take a minute
to acknowledge our supporters.
149
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:44,107
- [muttering] No.
- Uh, the work that we do here at FreeWaves
150
00:08:44,107 --> 00:08:50,864
{\an8}is made possible by the generous support
of The Strength--
151
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:56,828
The Strength-- The Strength in Numbers...
[sighs] ...Foundation.
152
00:08:56,828 --> 00:09:02,209
Uh, it is a non-profit group
dedicated to supporting eff--
153
00:09:02,209 --> 00:09:05,254
uh, supporting efforts
to make the world healthier,
154
00:09:05,254 --> 00:09:07,047
kinder and more just.
155
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:11,009
The whole team here at FreeWaves
is grateful for their visionary support.
156
00:09:11,593 --> 00:09:13,470
- What the fuck, man?
- What the fuck with you?
157
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:15,639
- What is wrong with you?
- We do it every week.
158
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:17,808
- We've got your ex-wife...
- I'm introducing the show.
159
00:09:17,808 --> 00:09:20,519
- ...like a fucking devil over our heads.
- I'm introducing the show.
160
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:22,563
- Do you have any idea--
- [Greta] Five, six, seven, eight!
161
00:09:22,563 --> 00:09:24,648
[upbeat music playing]
162
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:29,528
All right, get ready to roll it out.
163
00:09:29,528 --> 00:09:31,989
And, uh, one. All the way.
164
00:09:31,989 --> 00:09:38,495
Hit the walls. Hit the walls. Yeah!
Six, seven, and-- To your left.
165
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:40,831
Ooh! [chuckles] Sorry! [laughs]
166
00:09:40,831 --> 00:09:42,791
You having a little trouble back there?
167
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:44,877
[laughs] I'll get it.
168
00:09:45,627 --> 00:09:48,172
[Greta] Well, it helps
if you show up to class on time.
169
00:09:48,172 --> 00:09:49,423
- [Sheila] Yes.
- [laughs]
170
00:09:49,423 --> 00:09:52,926
Seven, eight. And, uh, one, two.
[grunting]
171
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:55,345
[inhales sharply] Give me a shimmy.
172
00:09:55,345 --> 00:09:57,723
And shimmy. Here we go.
173
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:00,809
Let's take it from the top. One.
174
00:10:01,393 --> 00:10:04,813
Do better. Push yourself harder. Yeah!
175
00:10:04,813 --> 00:10:07,107
[aerobics class cheering]
176
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:10,277
Look at you, showing up to my class
without even a heads-up.
177
00:10:10,277 --> 00:10:11,862
I had a light morning.
178
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:15,908
Hey, uh, you don't wanna go grab a coffee
before we get the day going, do you?
179
00:10:15,908 --> 00:10:19,620
Oh, my God. I wish. But I have--
What do I have?
180
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,331
Oh, I have the lawyers at 10:00.
The tax people at 11:00.
181
00:10:22,331 --> 00:10:25,459
Oh, I was hoping we could find some--
It doesn't matter.
182
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:28,128
It was silly. Just some time to talk
without the whole team.
183
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:31,798
I would love nothing more.
Let's schedule a meal.
184
00:10:31,798 --> 00:10:33,675
We have a big milestone moment
to celebrate.
185
00:10:33,675 --> 00:10:35,177
As of this week,
186
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:38,931
Strength in Numbers officially
has penetration in all 50 states.
187
00:10:39,890 --> 00:10:42,392
And I just said penetration
without cracking a smile.
188
00:10:42,392 --> 00:10:44,061
- So, look, we're all growing.
- [chuckles]
189
00:10:44,061 --> 00:10:46,813
We thought we were earlier,
but there were some copycat franchises
190
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:49,441
and trademark violators,
but we handled those.
191
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:53,028
- So, okay, let's see. Dinner this week--
- How did we handle them?
192
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:55,239
- What?
- The copycat franchises?
193
00:10:55,239 --> 00:10:57,741
Oh, the lawyers do it.
194
00:10:57,741 --> 00:10:59,201
It's best not to get into the details.
195
00:10:59,201 --> 00:11:01,453
Those guys can be effective.
196
00:11:01,453 --> 00:11:05,332
Okay, so this dinner, is this just us or,
197
00:11:05,332 --> 00:11:08,126
- like, a couples thing, or--
- Oh, um...
198
00:11:08,126 --> 00:11:10,003
Are you gonna tell me
who you've been seeing?
199
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:12,714
You've been very elusive.
Which you have every right to be.
200
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:14,258
It's nothing serious.
201
00:11:14,258 --> 00:11:17,594
Oh, a little no-strings fun. [chuckles]
Don't say with Danny.
202
00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:19,304
- Don't say with Danny.
- It's not with Danny.
203
00:11:19,304 --> 00:11:20,848
Then I'm very happy for you.
204
00:11:20,848 --> 00:11:22,558
- [chuckles] Oh.
- [receptionist] Greta?
205
00:11:25,727 --> 00:11:29,106
[Sheila] I don't like the idea
of lawyers handling things.
206
00:11:29,106 --> 00:11:30,983
I don't like how it feels.
207
00:11:30,983 --> 00:11:32,109
What's the alternative?
208
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:35,779
I don't know. Letting them be.
209
00:11:37,281 --> 00:11:38,574
They're stealing from you.
210
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:42,661
I stole too, early on.
211
00:11:42,661 --> 00:11:45,831
I talk about discovering aerobics...
[scoffs]
212
00:11:45,831 --> 00:11:48,333
...like Columbus "discovered" America.
213
00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:50,377
Now Columbus didn't discover America?
214
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:52,004
It was already there.
215
00:11:52,796 --> 00:11:54,590
He just claimed it, exploited it.
216
00:11:55,090 --> 00:11:56,884
[slow song playing on stereo]
217
00:11:56,884 --> 00:11:57,968
He conquered it.
218
00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:07,019
We don't apologize for our success.
We celebrate it.
219
00:12:07,603 --> 00:12:09,813
But at what cost to others?
220
00:12:10,314 --> 00:12:13,358
The success of this enterprise,
that's you.
221
00:12:13,358 --> 00:12:15,903
The idea to make it national: you.
222
00:12:16,445 --> 00:12:19,489
The story of transformation: yours.
223
00:12:20,032 --> 00:12:21,200
I did make it mine.
224
00:12:21,867 --> 00:12:22,868
But--
225
00:12:23,452 --> 00:12:28,457
But I don't wanna see anyone
get conquered, vanquished.
226
00:12:28,457 --> 00:12:29,541
Look at me.
227
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:33,462
You don't owe anyone anything.
228
00:12:36,548 --> 00:12:37,549
You're right.
229
00:12:39,134 --> 00:12:41,345
- I built this.
- You built this.
230
00:12:41,345 --> 00:12:42,721
You built all of this.
231
00:12:42,721 --> 00:12:46,183
This beautiful home.
It's all because of you.
232
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:49,728
But does that mean...
233
00:12:51,605 --> 00:12:52,689
that I have to be alone?
234
00:12:55,609 --> 00:12:57,444
You're not alone. [chews]
235
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:58,779
But I'm talking to no one.
236
00:12:58,779 --> 00:13:02,407
I'm filling my home
with the ghost of a failed relationship.
237
00:13:02,407 --> 00:13:04,993
No, somebody is out there.
238
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:07,162
- [thudding]
- Hello!
239
00:13:13,168 --> 00:13:14,169
Hello!
240
00:13:28,642 --> 00:13:30,102
Is anybody out here?
241
00:13:32,104 --> 00:13:33,647
Is someone here?
242
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:41,738
[Harriet] I don't like it.
243
00:13:42,948 --> 00:13:44,575
No, I don't like this one fucking bit.
244
00:13:44,575 --> 00:13:46,660
How about if I come over
with my Louisville Slugger?
245
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:48,704
It creates a perimeter. Like...
[imitates bat swinging]
246
00:13:48,704 --> 00:13:50,581
[chuckles] I-- I have an alarm system.
247
00:13:50,581 --> 00:13:52,749
I'm not afraid. I'm more curious.
248
00:13:52,749 --> 00:13:55,961
I mean, who breaks something
and then comes back to replace it?
249
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:57,796
[scoffing]
250
00:13:57,796 --> 00:14:00,549
A lot of loonies out there,
now that you're rich and famous.
251
00:14:00,549 --> 00:14:02,885
[stammers]
Look, I can be there right after my shift.
252
00:14:02,885 --> 00:14:05,345
Thank you. Thank you.
I can take care of myself. Really.
253
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:08,932
I just-- I mean, I moved down to the beach
for privacy, you know?
254
00:14:08,932 --> 00:14:12,477
So that I could look at the ocean and know
that nobody was looking back at me.
255
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,647
But it hasn't really worked out like that.
256
00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:18,275
Even when I am alone, I--
257
00:14:19,318 --> 00:14:20,360
You're still there.
258
00:14:21,528 --> 00:14:24,406
And the ocean,
it's like the world's biggest mirror.
259
00:14:25,657 --> 00:14:26,742
So, who's sharing today? [sighs]
260
00:14:26,742 --> 00:14:28,619
[click tongue, inhales deeply]
261
00:14:28,619 --> 00:14:32,623
My least favorite person in the group. Me.
262
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:35,501
I just made a year.
263
00:14:37,044 --> 00:14:39,171
Harriet, that is wonderful news.
264
00:14:39,171 --> 00:14:41,423
[groans] Big deal. [chuckles]
265
00:14:42,174 --> 00:14:44,343
I wasted about 30 years
of my life bingeing.
266
00:14:44,343 --> 00:14:46,136
I'm supposed to celebrate
one year without it?
267
00:14:46,136 --> 00:14:49,056
Yes! And we're all gonna celebrate
right there with you.
268
00:14:49,056 --> 00:14:50,557
I'm really proud of you.
269
00:14:50,557 --> 00:14:51,642
Proud of you too.
270
00:14:52,226 --> 00:14:55,896
For giving us a-- a space
to meet out in the real world.
271
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:59,566
- And decent fucking chairs for once!
- Oh, please. This is nothing.
272
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:00,943
These were a tax write-off.
273
00:15:00,943 --> 00:15:04,571
Oh, come on. If I have to deal
with getting celebrated, so do you.
274
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:06,990
- Create a perimeter. Yeah. Yeah.
- I could probably break--
275
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:08,867
- breach that perimeter, if I had to.
- Yeah, I know.
276
00:15:08,867 --> 00:15:10,702
[both chuckling]
277
00:15:12,037 --> 00:15:14,039
[waves crashing]
278
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:20,504
- [bushes rustling]
- Hello?
279
00:15:21,922 --> 00:15:25,092
Hey, I know somebody is here.
280
00:15:25,092 --> 00:15:26,844
So, just-- You may as well come out,
281
00:15:26,844 --> 00:15:29,471
because I'm gonna stay out here
until you do.
282
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:39,731
Tyler?
283
00:15:40,691 --> 00:15:41,692
Sup, Sheila?
284
00:15:45,070 --> 00:15:47,281
[inhales sharply] I'm bad at stalking.
285
00:15:47,281 --> 00:15:49,324
Well, you scared me at first.
286
00:15:49,992 --> 00:15:51,368
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
287
00:15:53,996 --> 00:15:55,122
I'm sorry.
288
00:15:55,706 --> 00:15:57,499
Do you wanna tell me
what you're doing here?
289
00:15:57,499 --> 00:16:00,127
[inhales deeply] I do. [sighs]
290
00:16:00,127 --> 00:16:01,920
But the thing is, I'm not super sure.
291
00:16:02,796 --> 00:16:06,425
I know I'm very angry at you,
which I'm also not very good at,
292
00:16:06,925 --> 00:16:12,389
because what happened with me and Bun
was largely, if not fully, your fault.
293
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,559
You're gonna have to explain that to me.
294
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:17,311
Well, we were doing good.
295
00:16:17,311 --> 00:16:19,646
We came back to the States.
296
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:20,898
She was teaching again.
297
00:16:20,898 --> 00:16:23,358
She loves teaching.
She comes to life up there.
298
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:27,112
And then you sicced your lawyers on us.
299
00:16:27,779 --> 00:16:29,823
[stammers] I know nothing about that.
300
00:16:29,823 --> 00:16:33,869
That's funny, 'cause they said it came
directly from Sheila D. Rubin Enterprises.
301
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:36,288
Cease and desist.
302
00:16:36,288 --> 00:16:38,749
Bunny wanted to fight it, but I was like,
"What's the point?"
303
00:16:38,749 --> 00:16:40,584
And that's when she really went off.
304
00:16:40,584 --> 00:16:43,253
She hurt my fucking feelings,
like, so bad.
305
00:16:44,254 --> 00:16:47,257
And then she went to Mexico.
I think it was to get you back.
306
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:53,013
Not "get you back,"
but, like, get you back.
307
00:16:53,013 --> 00:16:54,348
Like, revenge.
308
00:16:55,098 --> 00:16:57,893
How does going to Mexico get me back?
309
00:16:59,061 --> 00:17:03,065
I don't know. Guess you're gonna
have to ask the mall man.
310
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:08,069
I mean, it's one thing to leave me,
but... [sighs]
311
00:17:08,945 --> 00:17:10,906
...it's just not fair to Gidget.
312
00:17:10,906 --> 00:17:12,741
- Oh.
- We were like a little family.
313
00:17:13,325 --> 00:17:15,077
You don't have any baby carrots, do you?
314
00:17:16,537 --> 00:17:18,204
She loves those things. [sighs]
315
00:17:27,506 --> 00:17:29,925
{\an8}- You okay to get your bag?
- Got it.
316
00:17:36,932 --> 00:17:38,350
Hey, sweetie.
317
00:17:38,851 --> 00:17:41,144
Aah. Oh.
318
00:17:42,229 --> 00:17:43,772
Interesting meeting spot.
319
00:17:43,772 --> 00:17:47,317
Yeah. Well, you know,
this is where we get our recycled fuel oil
320
00:17:47,317 --> 00:17:50,779
so we can make the big trip
to pick up a certain special girl.
321
00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:53,365
Did you grow in the past two weeks?
322
00:17:53,365 --> 00:17:55,576
No. Mom got me new high-tops
with wedges in 'em.
323
00:17:55,576 --> 00:17:57,411
They give me, like, two inches.
324
00:17:58,287 --> 00:18:00,414
They have ankle support.
325
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:04,251
- Good.
- Okay, sweetie. I love you.
326
00:18:04,251 --> 00:18:05,752
- Love you, Mom.
- I'll miss you.
327
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:07,045
And, um, have fun at Dad's.
328
00:18:07,045 --> 00:18:08,130
- Okay, bye.
- Okay.
329
00:18:10,465 --> 00:18:14,011
Oh, um, I need to tell you
I'm making a trip out of the country.
330
00:18:14,011 --> 00:18:16,346
So, um, I need to ask you, actually.
331
00:18:16,346 --> 00:18:18,599
Oh, do you have to tell me
where you're going?
332
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:21,059
Not necessarily but, um, Mexico.
333
00:18:21,059 --> 00:18:23,645
Oh, okay.
You're coming back though, right?
334
00:18:23,645 --> 00:18:25,272
- Yeah, of course. [chuckles]
- Great. Right.
335
00:18:25,272 --> 00:18:27,566
It's a girls' trip. I'm going to a resort.
I'm just--
336
00:18:27,566 --> 00:18:30,444
I'm just exhausted from the traveling.
337
00:18:30,444 --> 00:18:33,572
Well, yeah, I mean, approved. [chuckles]
338
00:18:34,198 --> 00:18:35,199
How's she feeling?
339
00:18:35,991 --> 00:18:36,992
Hey.
340
00:18:37,910 --> 00:18:41,496
- [sighs]
- Oh, uh, yeah, she's-- she's feeling good.
341
00:18:41,496 --> 00:18:45,709
Kind of going through a thing now
with smells and textures.
342
00:18:45,709 --> 00:18:48,462
Terry cloth somehow
makes her pretty angry.
343
00:18:48,462 --> 00:18:51,673
Did you do anything like that?
You remember anything like that?
344
00:18:52,299 --> 00:18:56,345
I mean, honestly,
it just all feels like so long ago.
345
00:18:56,345 --> 00:18:57,763
Yeah, I know.
346
00:18:57,763 --> 00:18:59,431
- I'm sure it'll pass.
- I hope.
347
00:18:59,431 --> 00:19:02,643
Please tell her that though,
'cause she thinks it is forever.
348
00:19:03,435 --> 00:19:05,521
- But she's young. Younger, you know?
- [chuckles]
349
00:19:05,521 --> 00:19:08,607
She doesn't have the perspective
like... [clicks tongue]
350
00:19:08,607 --> 00:19:12,236
...you and I-- um, we have. [clicks tongue]
Did you remember to bring--
351
00:19:12,236 --> 00:19:14,571
- Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, of course.
- Yes. Okay, yeah. Great.
352
00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:16,990
- Yeah. Oh.
- Oh, gosh. Yeah.
353
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:20,244
And she's been, um, lying about flossing.
354
00:19:20,244 --> 00:19:21,161
- [chuckles]
- Oh.
355
00:19:21,161 --> 00:19:23,330
So, I don't want to shame her about it,
but, um, you know,
356
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:24,915
just don't take her word for it.
357
00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:26,875
Right. Well, flossing is important.
358
00:19:26,875 --> 00:19:28,710
- She's got those big-girl teeth now, so--
- Yeah.
359
00:19:29,419 --> 00:19:32,297
- Um, well, great.
- Okay. Mm-hmm.
360
00:19:32,881 --> 00:19:35,217
- Well, enjoy Mexico.
- Mm-hmm.
361
00:19:35,843 --> 00:19:37,427
- And, uh, try to relax.
- Yeah.
362
00:19:37,427 --> 00:19:38,929
You know, you deserve it.
363
00:20:17,259 --> 00:20:20,137
[groans] This.
364
00:20:20,137 --> 00:20:23,557
This is what I needed. [sighs]
365
00:20:26,185 --> 00:20:27,186
Are you happy?
366
00:20:27,895 --> 00:20:29,730
I'm a fresh drink away from ecstatic.
367
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:34,026
[stammers] In your life, I mean.
368
00:20:34,735 --> 00:20:36,320
Would you say that you're happy?
369
00:20:37,529 --> 00:20:40,532
Uh... [sighs] I mean,
not every second of every day.
370
00:20:41,450 --> 00:20:44,620
But I have something better now.
371
00:20:45,871 --> 00:20:46,914
Satisfaction.
372
00:20:47,998 --> 00:20:51,293
Yeah, like, deep... [chuckles]
...satisfaction with my life.
373
00:20:52,544 --> 00:20:55,214
- Accomplishments I can really be proud of.
- [sniffling, sobbing]
374
00:20:55,214 --> 00:20:59,092
A husband who I can honestly say
is finally coming around t-- Oh, no!
375
00:20:59,635 --> 00:21:01,428
- Am I-- Am I upsetting you?
- No, no, no. No, no.
376
00:21:01,428 --> 00:21:05,224
I didn't mean to brag. You just asked,
and I-- I wanted to be honest.
377
00:21:05,224 --> 00:21:06,433
- Please don't cry.
- No, no, no.
378
00:21:06,433 --> 00:21:10,103
I-- I am so happy for you.
I... [sniffles] I really am, truly.
379
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:12,898
I just... [inhales deeply, sniffs]
I-- It-- This is fun.
380
00:21:12,898 --> 00:21:14,358
Maybe I should just take a little walk.
381
00:21:14,358 --> 00:21:16,985
Sheila! [stammers] No, absolutely not.
You're not walking away.
382
00:21:16,985 --> 00:21:19,696
You're-- You're gonna stay here
and tell me what's going on.
383
00:21:19,696 --> 00:21:22,241
I can't. I can't.
You'll think less of me. I--
384
00:21:22,241 --> 00:21:24,326
It is impossible for me
to think less of you.
385
00:21:24,326 --> 00:21:26,370
That's not what I meant.
386
00:21:27,829 --> 00:21:32,751
Nothing you could say would ever change
the way I feel about you. Ever.
387
00:21:33,877 --> 00:21:36,463
I... [sighs]
388
00:21:43,637 --> 00:21:46,765
I may have brought you here
under false pretenses.
389
00:21:47,349 --> 00:21:50,477
Okay. How false?
390
00:21:51,228 --> 00:21:57,067
I do wanna celebrate our milestone
and-- and spend time with you.
391
00:21:57,067 --> 00:22:00,821
But, um, I also came here to see him.
392
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:03,156
John.
393
00:22:08,328 --> 00:22:09,371
Does he know this?
394
00:22:09,371 --> 00:22:13,417
No, and I know it sounds crazy,
but it's even crazier than it sounds.
395
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:16,211
Tyler came to see me.
396
00:22:16,211 --> 00:22:18,255
Tyler is involved in this?
397
00:22:18,255 --> 00:22:21,967
All right. Okay. Um, I think we--
Maybe we both need to take a walk.
398
00:22:21,967 --> 00:22:23,051
Let's take a walk.
399
00:22:24,094 --> 00:22:25,262
Whew.
400
00:22:25,262 --> 00:22:31,977
So, Bunny came down here
to seduce him to get back at you?
401
00:22:32,686 --> 00:22:35,772
That's what Tyler said.
And I have no reason to doubt it.
402
00:22:37,107 --> 00:22:39,359
Uh, yeah.
But would John actually fall for that?
403
00:22:40,194 --> 00:22:42,821
Well, he fell for me, didn't he?
I mean, I know it's out-there,
404
00:22:42,821 --> 00:22:46,783
but I just-- I just at least have to see
for myself, you know. To know for sure.
405
00:22:48,327 --> 00:22:50,704
And how far down the road are we
on this mission?
406
00:22:51,747 --> 00:22:53,790
Well, we have an address,
407
00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:57,961
- not far from here, of his church.
- His church?
408
00:22:57,961 --> 00:23:01,006
Well, I can't very well
march into his house, can I?
409
00:23:01,715 --> 00:23:04,635
No, you can't. But God's house?
410
00:23:05,344 --> 00:23:09,014
All right. Sheila, I love you.
I support you.
411
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,102
But... [stammers, sighs]
...this is really starting to scare me.
412
00:23:14,686 --> 00:23:17,189
You've moved beyond John. You've evolved.
413
00:23:17,189 --> 00:23:19,900
Heck, you've helped me evolve
and thousands of other women too.
414
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:24,947
I know. I know. But there--
there's what I say and then how I feel.
415
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:30,536
And the truth is,
I think about him so much.
416
00:23:31,286 --> 00:23:32,412
He's in my head.
417
00:23:32,913 --> 00:23:35,832
Like, I'm-- I'm not even seeing anyone, Greta.
418
00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:40,587
I'm just talking to him alone in my house.
419
00:23:41,088 --> 00:23:44,842
Like I used to with myself, with Kelly.
420
00:23:46,593 --> 00:23:50,681
I just-- I need to see what is happening
with my own eyes, so I know.
421
00:23:50,681 --> 00:23:53,642
And then I can move on. Or maybe...
422
00:23:58,021 --> 00:24:00,107
Okay, well, if you're doing this,
I'm coming with you.
423
00:24:03,235 --> 00:24:04,236
Clearly.
424
00:24:33,682 --> 00:24:36,185
[breathing deeply]
425
00:24:38,437 --> 00:24:39,438
Hello, Sheila.
426
00:24:40,564 --> 00:24:43,609
You weren't-- Were you expecting me?
[exhales sharply]
427
00:24:43,609 --> 00:24:49,656
- Not quite so soon, but yes.
- [chuckles]
428
00:24:52,868 --> 00:24:53,869
Why?
429
00:24:55,746 --> 00:24:59,374
[sighs] On Wednesdays and Saturdays,
it's my job to look after the children.
430
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,627
- [contents of tube rattle]
- [both chuckle]
431
00:25:03,337 --> 00:25:08,926
I know it must seem surprising to you
to see me like this.
432
00:25:09,551 --> 00:25:12,679
No, it's-- it's-- it's-- it's perfectly--
433
00:25:13,472 --> 00:25:16,266
I mean, it's lovely to see you like this.
434
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:18,185
- It's surprising to me too.
- [chuckles]
435
00:25:18,185 --> 00:25:19,353
Believe me.
436
00:25:19,353 --> 00:25:23,065
I don't think I knew
how much pressure I felt
437
00:25:23,774 --> 00:25:28,278
until I wasn't feeling it anymore
after we left.
438
00:25:28,278 --> 00:25:31,907
Not immediately, of course, but with time.
439
00:25:32,783 --> 00:25:34,743
I make it sound like, um...
440
00:25:34,743 --> 00:25:37,204
- I just do this a couple of hours a week...
- [chuckles]
441
00:25:37,204 --> 00:25:38,705
...while the ladies have their class.
442
00:25:39,873 --> 00:25:43,961
I'd be happy to show you around afterward.
443
00:25:44,545 --> 00:25:45,546
What we've built...
444
00:25:47,548 --> 00:25:52,678
it's humble, but it's special.
445
00:25:55,722 --> 00:25:58,100
I'm sorry, what-- what class?
446
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:00,894
[upbeat workout music]
447
00:26:02,145 --> 00:26:03,564
[Bunny] Whoo!
448
00:26:03,564 --> 00:26:09,194
And five, six-- five, six, seven, eight!
And one, two, three.
449
00:26:09,194 --> 00:26:11,613
[grunts] One, two, three. [grunts]
450
00:26:11,613 --> 00:26:14,366
One, two, three.
You gotta move it if you wanna groove it!
451
00:26:15,075 --> 00:26:19,079
And pull it in, and in, and in, and in.
452
00:26:19,663 --> 00:26:23,792
Five, six-- Five, six, seven, eight,
and twist.
453
00:26:25,002 --> 00:26:26,170
And twi--
454
00:26:28,714 --> 00:26:30,716
And into the cooldown.
455
00:26:36,388 --> 00:26:39,099
If you came to shut me down again,
you can fucking forget it.
456
00:26:39,099 --> 00:26:42,436
It's a community class. We're not even
charging any money, honey.
457
00:26:43,478 --> 00:26:45,230
I mean, I get paid by her.
458
00:26:46,231 --> 00:26:47,691
Oh, don't look so surprised.
459
00:26:47,691 --> 00:26:50,611
You're the one who preached
the gospel of exercise to me,
460
00:26:50,611 --> 00:26:52,696
its empowering benefits.
461
00:26:53,197 --> 00:26:56,033
We needed a teacher,
and Bunny was available. [chuckles]
462
00:26:57,910 --> 00:27:00,287
[inhales sharply]
So what do you want now? Blood?
463
00:27:01,163 --> 00:27:04,875
Me and Tyler got Hep B
from those stupid engagement piercings,
464
00:27:04,875 --> 00:27:06,376
so mine's no good anyway.
465
00:27:06,376 --> 00:27:09,379
I'm-- I'm not here to shut you down.
466
00:27:09,963 --> 00:27:11,006
Then why the hell are you here?
467
00:27:16,345 --> 00:27:17,679
Tyler came to see me.
468
00:27:19,598 --> 00:27:21,350
And what'd he have to say for himself?
469
00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:25,479
Mostly that he misses you and that
he was angry with me. For good reason.
470
00:27:26,605 --> 00:27:27,689
How'd he look?
471
00:27:28,607 --> 00:27:29,525
Miserable.
472
00:27:30,943 --> 00:27:32,319
Good.
473
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:36,907
So, you came all the way to Mexico
to tell me how Tyler feels?
474
00:27:38,408 --> 00:27:41,954
We came to offer you a grant from
the Strength in Numbers Foundation
475
00:27:41,954 --> 00:27:44,414
for the work you've been doing
in the community.
476
00:27:44,414 --> 00:27:47,251
You mean a tax write-off
to advertise your brand?
477
00:27:47,251 --> 00:27:51,129
- Fuck you very much, but no.
- No, no. [stammers] Gr-- Greta's just--
478
00:27:51,129 --> 00:27:54,591
I know you're trying to help.
But that's-- that's not why we came here.
479
00:27:54,591 --> 00:27:57,010
We came here-- I came here because...
480
00:28:00,430 --> 00:28:03,392
[clicks tongue] I suspected that you
were trying to punish me
481
00:28:03,392 --> 00:28:06,770
by taking something away from me
that, uh--
482
00:28:07,396 --> 00:28:09,189
that was never really mine
in the first place.
483
00:28:09,189 --> 00:28:11,567
Which I deserve, by the way,
484
00:28:12,192 --> 00:28:14,027
because I, uh--
485
00:28:15,112 --> 00:28:17,614
I took credit for what you taught me.
486
00:28:18,740 --> 00:28:22,327
You introduced me to aerobics
when I was at my lowest,
487
00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:25,080
and it saved me.
488
00:28:26,123 --> 00:28:28,125
You saved me,
and then I turned around and--
489
00:28:28,125 --> 00:28:29,793
Made a fucking fortune off it.
490
00:28:30,377 --> 00:28:34,590
- Yes. And-- And that was wrong of me.
- I don't want to forgive you.
491
00:28:34,590 --> 00:28:35,757
And I'm not asking you to.
492
00:28:35,757 --> 00:28:39,970
I just want to give you credit
for being the first and for teaching me.
493
00:28:40,971 --> 00:28:42,681
I wasn't the first.
494
00:28:43,348 --> 00:28:45,225
[stammers] Somebody taught it to me.
495
00:28:46,476 --> 00:28:47,477
[chuckles]
496
00:28:47,477 --> 00:28:49,897
So, maybe it belongs to all of us.
497
00:28:57,779 --> 00:29:00,324
Would it be okay if I--
if I joined your class?
498
00:29:01,241 --> 00:29:02,868
I really need to clear my head.
499
00:29:06,914 --> 00:29:09,208
[inhales sharply]
Make some room in the back, ladies.
500
00:29:12,961 --> 00:29:14,963

[Sheila] I am not making this up.
This is a fact proven by scientists.
502
00:29:48,205 --> 00:29:52,376
When human beings engage
in synchronous physical activity,
503
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,712
when we move together,
especially to music,
504
00:29:56,213 --> 00:29:59,591
our brains release a chemical--
stay with me--
505
00:30:00,259 --> 00:30:04,638
that makes us feel
connected to the strangers around us.
506
00:30:04,638 --> 00:30:06,932
And we've all felt this intuitively,
507
00:30:06,932 --> 00:30:10,185
whether singing in a choir
or cheering at a football game
508
00:30:10,185 --> 00:30:12,771
or taking an aerobics class.
509
00:30:15,566 --> 00:30:16,942
But here's the coolest part.
510
00:30:18,777 --> 00:30:21,488
That same chemical,
it also makes us feel connected
511
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,282
to something bigger than ourselves.
512
00:30:25,909 --> 00:30:31,081
You could call it a higher power
or God or just the infinite.
513
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,795
But I think that's kind of miraculous,
don't you?
514
00:30:38,172 --> 00:30:40,174
[wind rushing]
515
00:30:40,174 --> 00:30:43,552
To think I started this whole thing
looking for control
516
00:30:44,219 --> 00:30:48,932
when all I had to do to touch the infinite
was let go of it.
