00:04:48,708 --> 00:04:50,582
Leah and Jarrett have history.

It was before your time.

Just the kind you don't want to repeat.
Moving on. Next topic.
128
00:04:56,375 --> 00:04:58,707
I saw the press called you a WAG again.
129
00:04:58,708 --> 00:05:00,624
- What's a WAG?
- They're the supportive wives
130
00:05:00,625 --> 00:05:02,290
and girlfriends of high-profile players.
131
00:05:02,291 --> 00:05:04,124
But I am not Ayden Young's arm candy.
132
00:05:04,125 --> 00:05:06,415
[Leah] No, you are not.
133
00:05:06,416 --> 00:05:09,290
But it's yet another reminder
that I'm just a girlfriend, not a wife.
134
00:05:09,291 --> 00:05:11,165
And that's why I have a list.
135
00:05:11,166 --> 00:05:13,957
But... [stammers] you're single.
136
00:05:13,958 --> 00:05:16,290

- Hmm?

[Brenda sighs]
141
00:05:22,375 --> 00:05:24,707
So, Jarrett and Leah used to work
in their first newsrooms together.
142
00:05:24,708 --> 00:05:26,540
And it's--

Oh, come-- And?
145
00:05:29,125 --> 00:05:30,999
And we dated.
146
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,540
I fell for him.
147
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:34,499
He made me feel like
we had something special,
148
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,332
- then he cheated on me...
- No!
149
00:05:36,333 --> 00:05:37,457
...with a P.A. named Kimmy.
150
00:05:37,458 --> 00:05:40,082
Yeah. It really hurt.
Jarrett was Leah's first love.
151
00:05:40,083 --> 00:05:41,707
- I wouldn't say love.
- [Treese] Oh.
152
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:44,332
I was young, didn't know any better.
Lesson learned.
153
00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:47,582
Oh, mama, is that why
you created The List?
154
00:05:47,583 --> 00:05:49,499
That's why "no cheaters" is on The List.
155
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:51,457
- Okay, let's see.

163
00:06:05,333 --> 00:06:06,499

and I know what I don't.

a very different beast from prime time,
254

to be a value-add.

And let me be clear.

I don't care.

00:10:05,250 --> 00:10:07,415
- Clear.
- Hmm.
262
00:10:07,416 --> 00:10:11,207
But I'd be pissed, too, if I thought
I was a lock for showrunner

another contender in the 11th hour.

How about old but not dead yet people?
294
00:11:36,166 --> 00:11:39,290
Uh, we could ask elderly couples
their tips for keeping their love alive.

Yeah, like pacemakers?
Leah, what do you have?
296

Let's look at how
this so-called holiday even started.
297
00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:48,249
You want to do an exposé? On love?
298
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:53,082
Love isn't hype and pressure
and performative displays on social media
299
00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:56,874
by people trying to prove their worth
based on likes and dollars.
300
00:11:56,875 --> 00:11:58,124
You're right.
301
00:11:58,125 --> 00:12:01,290
Love is the root of happiness,
compassion, self-worth and...
302
00:12:01,291 --> 00:12:02,540
[both] Social justice.
303
00:12:02,541 --> 00:12:03,833
Ooh.
304
00:12:04,916 --> 00:12:08,415
So, we take down Valentine's Day.
Then what?
305
00:12:08,416 --> 00:12:11,082

we, uh, choose England's side?

uh, thanks to
this quote-unquote "holiday"--
310
00:12:19,583 --> 00:12:22,790
perhaps we should opt for a little more...
something mainstream.
311
00:12:22,791 --> 00:12:25,250

312
00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:29,749

317
00:12:36,416 --> 00:12:38,874
Okay, uh, Michael Todd...
318
00:12:38,875 --> 00:12:41,332
Michael Todd is a pastor
from Tulsa, Oklahoma,
319
00:12:41,333 --> 00:12:44,582
best-selling author
and a YouTube phenomenon,
320
00:12:44,583 --> 00:12:48,040
and it all started with this book.
321
00:12:48,041 --> 00:12:51,874
It's about helping people succeed in love
322
00:12:51,875 --> 00:12:53,707
by using their faith.
323
00:12:53,708 --> 00:12:56,582
Jarrett, we try to maintain
a secular POV here at the show.
324
00:12:56,583 --> 00:12:59,124
Well, except for Christmas,
Easter, Halloween.
325
00:12:59,125 --> 00:13:01,500
- Halloween isn't religious.
- It is if you're Wiccan.
326
00:13:02,791 --> 00:13:05,290
[Jarrett] Uh, okay, look, I-I know this is
327
00:13:05,291 --> 00:13:09,332
slightly left of center, but faith--
come on, guys, faith is hotter than ever.
328
00:13:09,333 --> 00:13:12,665
People struggle
with love and relationships,
329
00:13:12,666 --> 00:13:16,040
but isn't a meaningful connection
what we all want?
330
00:13:16,041 --> 00:13:18,124
- Yeah.
- [Jarrett] This book offers up
331
00:13:18,125 --> 00:13:20,082
solid, relatable advice.
332
00:13:20,083 --> 00:13:21,707
It's the real deal.
333
00:13:21,708 --> 00:13:24,540
And so are Michael and his wife Natalie.
334
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:27,165
"How to Win at Dating, Marriage and Sex."
335
00:13:27,166 --> 00:13:28,999
Sex definitely rates.
336
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,665
Lot of people are fans of that.
337
00:13:30,666 --> 00:13:32,707
You're not actually considering this?
338
00:13:32,708 --> 00:13:37,457
This is outside of our usual wheelhouse,
but I want to go out with a bang.
339
00:13:37,458 --> 00:13:38,874
- Let's do it.
- [Curtis] Okay, everybody.
340
00:13:38,875 --> 00:13:40,625
Let's get out there and bang.
341
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:43,957
That came out wrong. I hear it now.
342
00:13:43,958 --> 00:13:45,749
All right, Leah,
you're gonna produce this with Jarrett.
343
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:48,040
What? We don't need
two senior producers on this.
344
00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:50,415
And why? It's my story.
345
00:13:50,416 --> 00:13:54,749
Leah recently pointed out to me
that when we challenge each other,
346
00:13:54,750 --> 00:13:57,040
we reach the best outcomes.
347
00:13:57,041 --> 00:13:58,041
Teamwork.
348
00:13:59,833 --> 00:14:01,583
I love teamwork.
349
00:14:03,708 --> 00:14:06,000
[lighthearted music playing]
350
00:14:06,583 --> 00:14:08,083
- Good night.
- Good night, Leah.
351
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:10,499
- Heading out?
- [sighs]
352
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:12,665
No, just going for an elevator ride.
353
00:14:12,666 --> 00:14:14,665
You always kept me on my toes.
354
00:14:14,666 --> 00:14:17,582
Well, enjoy it for the five weeks
and three days you have left here.
355
00:14:17,583 --> 00:14:19,749
Okay, are we gonna spar like this
the whole time?
356
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:21,790
If so, I need to cancel
my Sunday pickup games
357
00:14:21,791 --> 00:14:24,332
and save my competitive edge
for our spicy little chats.
358
00:14:24,333 --> 00:14:26,207
Or here's an idea.
359
00:14:26,208 --> 00:14:29,624
We keep the dialogue to a minimum
and avoid each other as much as possible.
360
00:14:29,625 --> 00:14:33,290
You don't have to be salty just 'cause
I got the jump on you with this story.
361
00:14:33,291 --> 00:14:34,457
I'm not.
362
00:14:34,458 --> 00:14:37,499
I'm excited to see
how your off-brand appreciation
363
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:41,124
for this Internet preacher pans out
or crashes and burns.
364
00:14:41,125 --> 00:14:42,957
Ah, don't be like that, Caldwell.
365
00:14:42,958 --> 00:14:44,624
- Hmm.
- You got something against God?
366
00:14:44,625 --> 00:14:46,790
Just people who use Him to get a leg up.
367
00:14:46,791 --> 00:14:48,957
I'm not using anyone.
368
00:14:48,958 --> 00:14:50,124
This book changed me.
369
00:14:50,125 --> 00:14:53,790
I hadn't thought about how cheating
and being messy was jamming me up.
370
00:14:53,791 --> 00:14:57,415
[scoffs] So you're telling me you're
a reformed player, thanks to this book?
371
00:14:57,416 --> 00:14:59,457
Yes. Absolutely.
372
00:14:59,458 --> 00:15:01,499
My player card has been revoked.
373
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:06,207
Look, it's a great book
and a slam-dunk story,
374
00:15:06,208 --> 00:15:10,165
so either shoot the ball
or ride the bench, Le-Le.
375
00:15:10,166 --> 00:15:13,124
- Don't call me that again.
- [elevator bell dings, doors open]
376
00:15:13,125 --> 00:15:14,958
Ah-ah-ah-ah.
377
00:15:15,958 --> 00:15:17,165
[button clicks]
378
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:19,000
Good night, Le-Le.
379
00:15:21,333 --> 00:15:22,957
- She still wants me.
- [button clicks]
380
00:15:22,958 --> 00:15:24,665
[Leah] I can't stand him.
381
00:15:24,666 --> 00:15:28,207
He's a king narcissist
who doesn't have one ounce of humility.
382
00:15:28,208 --> 00:15:29,874
He thinks he's always right.
383
00:15:29,875 --> 00:15:31,624
[chuckles] And you don't?
384
00:15:31,625 --> 00:15:33,124
I'm nothing like Jarrett.
385
00:15:33,125 --> 00:15:35,124
[chuckles] I must have you confused
386
00:15:35,125 --> 00:15:37,457
for another friend
who thinks she's always right.
387
00:15:37,458 --> 00:15:39,124
I can't help it if I'm usually right.
388
00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:40,749
Usually?
389
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:42,166
Often.
390
00:15:43,666 --> 00:15:44,790
Always.
391
00:15:44,791 --> 00:15:46,790
[chuckles] Okay,
we'll keep that between us.
392
00:15:46,791 --> 00:15:48,165
Just remember what Dan said.
393
00:15:48,166 --> 00:15:51,249
I have to show the higher-ups
I can play well with others. I know.
394
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:52,415
And you will.
395
00:15:52,416 --> 00:15:53,874
Just keep your cool.
396
00:15:53,875 --> 00:15:55,582
Don't let Jarrett get under your skin.
397
00:15:55,583 --> 00:15:57,832
I'm sure that's what he wants.
398
00:15:57,833 --> 00:16:00,040
To get a rise out of me,
knock me off my game.
399
00:16:00,041 --> 00:16:01,207
Little does he know,
400
00:16:01,208 --> 00:16:04,415
- I'm going scorched earth!
- [door closes]
401
00:16:04,416 --> 00:16:07,374
Oh, hey, girl, Ayden just got home.
I got to go.
402
00:16:07,375 --> 00:16:09,332
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
403
00:16:09,333 --> 00:16:11,833
Hey, baby. You busy?
404
00:16:12,916 --> 00:16:15,165
Oh. No. Not at all.
405
00:16:15,166 --> 00:16:18,040
[chuckles] I can give you
as much time as you need.
406
00:16:18,041 --> 00:16:20,290
Okay. Come take a seat.
407
00:16:20,291 --> 00:16:22,500
- [sighs heavily]
- [uplifting music playing]
408
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,624
- Oh! [gasps]
- [chuckles]
409
00:16:25,625 --> 00:16:27,207
Boom.
410
00:16:27,208 --> 00:16:28,999
Just got it out of the repair shop.
411
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,207
- Your championship ring.
- Mm-hmm.
412
00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:32,832
Polished it a little.
413
00:16:32,833 --> 00:16:35,874
You know, it's kind of crazy
this'll probably be my last one.
414
00:16:35,875 --> 00:16:38,832
Yeah, I'm not gonna get a ring
when I'm calling games next season.
415
00:16:38,833 --> 00:16:42,457
[sighs] I know it's tough
when you don't know what the future holds.
416
00:16:42,458 --> 00:16:45,499
Well... what would I do without you?
417
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:46,582
Hmm?
418
00:16:46,583 --> 00:16:47,665
[both chuckle]
419
00:16:47,666 --> 00:16:49,249
- Mwah.
- Huh.
420
00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:51,249
All right, so, gonna put this in the safe.
421
00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:53,582
- Yeah.
- Make sure she knows I cherish her.
422
00:16:53,583 --> 00:16:55,457
- Yep. Yep. Yep.
- Right? Okay. All right.
423
00:16:55,458 --> 00:16:56,999
- [chuckles] Okay.
- I'm gonna take a shower.
424
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,208
- Okay. [chuckles]
- I'll be back.
425
00:17:01,083 --> 00:17:02,833

[message chirps]
428
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:15,457
[chuckles softly]
429
00:17:15,458 --> 00:17:17,749
- Okay, we have that in common, fitness.
- Yeah.
430
00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:19,790
- Do you like running?
- Oh, my God, I love running.
431
00:17:19,791 --> 00:17:22,665
I just finished running
the Boston Marathon last year,
432
00:17:22,666 --> 00:17:25,040
and I'm training to do New York next.
433
00:17:25,041 --> 00:17:27,957
- Wow, I just love me a good marathon.
- Mm-hmm.
434
00:17:27,958 --> 00:17:30,374
Like, 40 miles? Easy, right?
435
00:17:30,375 --> 00:17:33,082
- Give me 60. [laughing]
- [chuckles]
436
00:17:33,083 --> 00:17:35,415
- [phone beeping]
- Uh...
437
00:17:35,416 --> 00:17:37,374
Oh. It's probably just my trainer.
438
00:17:37,375 --> 00:17:39,165
[stammers] Go ahead, take it.
439
00:17:39,166 --> 00:17:40,415
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah.
440
00:17:40,416 --> 00:17:42,457
Actually, do you mind
if I just... really...
441
00:17:42,458 --> 00:17:44,082
- Just got to use the washroom real quick.
- No, that's fine.
442
00:17:44,083 --> 00:17:45,249
I'll be right here.
443
00:17:45,250 --> 00:17:46,832
[♪ Brian Brown sings "The World Is Yours"]

- [waiter] Hi.
- Hi.
447
00:18:05,875 --> 00:18:09,250
He paid the bill.
Would you still like your food?
448
00:18:10,583 --> 00:18:12,165
What do you...
449
00:18:12,166 --> 00:18:13,833
[stammers] He left?
450
00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:17,291
Yeah.
451
00:18:19,833 --> 00:18:21,957
Yeah. Yeah. I'll just get it to go.
452
00:18:21,958 --> 00:18:23,541
- Of course.
- Cool. Thank you.
453
00:18:25,541 --> 00:18:27,874
[laughs] I'm gonna die alone.
454
00:18:27,875 --> 00:18:29,165
- [Brenda] Good morning.
- [news theme plays]
455
00:18:29,166 --> 00:18:31,207
This is Better Day USA.
456
00:18:31,208 --> 00:18:32,415
Welcome back.
457
00:18:32,416 --> 00:18:35,582
Now, while the human event business
remains bustling,
458
00:18:35,583 --> 00:18:38,915
many people are getting in on the fun
by throwing birthday parties,
459
00:18:38,916 --> 00:18:42,624
obedience school graduations and
even elaborate weddings for their pets.
460
00:18:42,625 --> 00:18:44,832
Dogs are getting wifed up,
and I cannot find a man.
461
00:18:44,833 --> 00:18:46,374
This is my life, you guys.
462
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:48,415
You've spent a lot of time and money...
463
00:18:48,416 --> 00:18:50,124
I played with the order for the photos.
464
00:18:50,125 --> 00:18:52,707
You'll see,
it's much more dynamic this way.
465
00:18:52,708 --> 00:18:55,999
It better be, since I don't have time
to change it back.
466
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,790
Let's just hope our special guests
stay on their marks, guys.
467
00:18:58,791 --> 00:19:00,707
[singsongy] Took care of that, too.
468

469
00:19:01,958 --> 00:19:03,790
[Brenda] Oh, I love the little hat.
470
00:19:03,791 --> 00:19:06,124
- It's party time.
- So cute. And how about yours?
471
00:19:06,125 --> 00:19:08,415
Did you think, uh, your dog enjoyed
his graduation day as much?
472
00:19:08,416 --> 00:19:09,624
Oh, definitely.
473
00:19:09,625 --> 00:19:11,999

- [Ted] Hi, Spiral. Oh, yeah. Oh.
- [Brenda] Oh. Oh.
476
00:19:15,250 --> 00:19:17,540
- That is enthusiasm. Yeah. [chuckles]
- Oh. Oh.
477
00:19:17,541 --> 00:19:19,582
[Ted] Okay, well,
that's a lot of enthusiasm.
478
00:19:19,583 --> 00:19:20,665
- See, she likes you.
- [Ted] Yeah.
479
00:19:20,666 --> 00:19:22,624
- More than my ex-wife. [chuckles]
- Oh.
480
00:19:22,625 --> 00:19:23,915
[Brenda] Maybe we can get a little help
481
00:19:23,916 --> 00:19:24,999
- for my cohost.
- That'd be great.
482

483
00:19:26,291 --> 00:19:27,832
[Brenda] We got a loose dog on set!

- [dog growls, barks]

- [Ted chuckles] That's right.

[phone clicks, video stops]
491
00:19:42,625 --> 00:19:43,832
Let's jump in.
492
00:19:43,833 --> 00:19:46,624
I drafted a list of interview questions
for Michael Todd.
493
00:19:46,625 --> 00:19:48,165
That's it?
494
00:19:48,166 --> 00:19:50,708
No small talk? A little tête-à-tête?
That's French.
495
00:19:51,375 --> 00:19:53,290
Je suis pas intéressée.
496
00:19:53,291 --> 00:19:54,624
That's French.
497
00:19:54,625 --> 00:19:56,082
That was impressive.
498
00:19:56,083 --> 00:20:01,332
Can we focus and figure out this bad idea
you convinced my boss to sign off on?
499
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:03,124
Okay, our boss.
500
00:20:03,125 --> 00:20:05,749
And you're still on that?
Did you even read the book?
501
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:08,040
All this book's doing is
dusting off the Scriptures
502
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:09,957
and dressing up the Bible
with some down-home lingo
503
00:20:09,958 --> 00:20:12,290
and acting like it has all the answers.
504
00:20:12,291 --> 00:20:14,624
Well, at least it has some answers.
505
00:20:14,625 --> 00:20:17,499
Besides, Michael Todd's not
the only pastor presenting the Gospel
506
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:22,374
in a relevant and progressive way,
but he's the one that's straight fire.
507
00:20:22,375 --> 00:20:24,041
Fire-fire-fire.
508
00:20:25,125 --> 00:20:26,457
On YouTube.
509
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:29,665
Let's just do the work and have our booker
reach out to Michael Todd's team
510
00:20:29,666 --> 00:20:31,374
to see when he can fly in
for the interview.
511
00:20:31,375 --> 00:20:32,999
Oh, no, I already spoke to Dan.
512
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,249
We're clear for next weekend
to go to Tulsa.
513
00:20:35,250 --> 00:20:36,832
- Excuse me?
- Yeah.
514
00:20:36,833 --> 00:20:39,082
We need to see the pastor in his element.
515
00:20:39,083 --> 00:20:42,457
His family, his church, his followers,
the whole shebang.
516

[phone chimes]
517
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,499
Um, where are you going?
518
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:55,749
What do you care? You seem to have
forgotten we're producing this together.
519
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:56,832
You know, fine.
520
00:20:56,833 --> 00:20:59,207
I'll see you later tonight
for drinks with Dan.
521
00:20:59,208 --> 00:21:00,791
He invited you?
522
00:21:01,875 --> 00:21:02,957
Super.
523
00:21:02,958 --> 00:21:05,875
[laughing]
524
00:21:12,083 --> 00:21:13,999
No need to dance around it.
525
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,416
I know you called Roland to see about
clearing my schedule March 3rd.
526
00:21:18,666 --> 00:21:21,040
- Yes, I did.
- Mm.
527
00:21:21,041 --> 00:21:24,165
I want you to come to the cemetery
with me this year.
528
00:21:24,166 --> 00:21:26,166
[wistful music playing]
529
00:21:27,791 --> 00:21:28,958
[Leah chuckles softly]
530
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:34,957
I paid my respects at the funeral.
531
00:21:34,958 --> 00:21:38,041
If you want to go, I get that,
but it's not for me.
532
00:21:39,791 --> 00:21:44,624
It would mean a lot to me
for us to honor your mother together.
533
00:21:44,625 --> 00:21:46,999
I'm sorry, Dad.
534
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,290
I don't want to upset you,
but I can't go there.
535
00:21:50,291 --> 00:21:53,583
Leah, you've been throwing yourself
into work ever since we lost her.
536
00:21:54,791 --> 00:21:57,207
But you can't outrun grief.
537
00:21:57,208 --> 00:22:00,124
Mourning is a process.
538
00:22:00,125 --> 00:22:02,707
It would help if we just...
539
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:06,165
if we just go there and sit with the pain
540
00:22:06,166 --> 00:22:07,665
than to try to shut it out.
541
00:22:07,666 --> 00:22:12,874
I love you, and this banana pudding
is so bomb, but...
542
00:22:12,875 --> 00:22:16,124
[sighs] I don't have time
to deal with this right now.
543
00:22:16,125 --> 00:22:17,625
I have a man to destroy.
544
00:22:18,708 --> 00:22:19,791
You're dating someone?
545
00:22:20,541 --> 00:22:21,708
What?

548
00:22:27,833 --> 00:22:29,499
Where's Dan?
549
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:31,207
[phone chimes]
550
00:22:31,208 --> 00:22:33,582
[Dan recorded] Sorry, guys,
something came up at the last minute.
551
00:22:33,583 --> 00:22:36,457
I trust you'll make good use
of the bonding time.
552
00:22:36,458 --> 00:22:38,832
- [laughing]
- [phone beeps]
553
00:22:38,833 --> 00:22:40,082
He played us.
554
00:22:40,083 --> 00:22:41,624
He sure did.
555
00:22:41,625 --> 00:22:45,124
I guess now's a good chance
to catch up outside of the office.
556
00:22:45,125 --> 00:22:46,207
Hmm.
557
00:22:46,208 --> 00:22:52,540
How is it, anyway, that we've never run
into each other once in all these years?
558
00:22:52,541 --> 00:22:54,582
Easy. I don't hang out at places
559
00:22:54,583 --> 00:22:57,832
with lemon pepper wings
and stacks of one-dollar bills.
560
00:22:57,833 --> 00:23:00,165
Wow. That-that was quick.
561
00:23:00,166 --> 00:23:02,207
I-I ain't even see the gun.
562
00:23:02,208 --> 00:23:07,374
I've also avoided you, since I've had
no desire for our paths to cross.
563
00:23:07,375 --> 00:23:09,582
Yeah, uh, about that.
564
00:23:09,583 --> 00:23:12,790
Back then, I was young and foolish,
565
00:23:12,791 --> 00:23:17,249
but I learned that real manhood
is found in commitment.
566
00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:18,665
- Really?
- Yes.
567
00:23:18,666 --> 00:23:22,332
How so?
Are you in a committed relationship?
568
00:23:22,333 --> 00:23:24,582
Well, not yet.
569
00:23:24,583 --> 00:23:26,874
Meaning you're still a player.
570
00:23:26,875 --> 00:23:29,249
It's not one or the other.
571
00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:32,165
I'm... dating with a purpose.
572
00:23:32,166 --> 00:23:33,624
I want something real.
573
00:23:33,625 --> 00:23:34,915
That's the new you?
574
00:23:34,916 --> 00:23:36,624
Okay, look.
575
00:23:36,625 --> 00:23:38,790
Kimmy was a thing that happened.

[sighs]
577
00:23:39,875 --> 00:23:42,290
It's not who I am, never was.
578
00:23:42,291 --> 00:23:46,958
I am truly sorry I hurt you.
579
00:23:48,041 --> 00:23:51,040
But I'm walking a different path now.
580
00:23:51,041 --> 00:23:52,707
I'm supposed to believe that?
581
00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:56,207
Buy into this Jarrett 2.0 nonsense?
582
00:23:56,208 --> 00:23:58,874
Be all buddy-buddy with you
while you come for my job?
583
00:23:58,875 --> 00:24:00,665
I-I'm just trying to bury the hatchet.
584
00:24:00,666 --> 00:24:04,708
[sighs] Easy for you to say when you're
trying to take something else from me.
585
00:24:06,250 --> 00:24:08,916
If you're really sorry, quit.
586
00:24:11,416 --> 00:24:12,999
That's what I thought.
587
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,499
- Two things can be true at once, Leah.
- [sighs]

and I'm sorry.

00:24:21,958 --> 00:24:23,374
Okay, where are you going?
591
00:24:23,375 --> 00:24:24,625
What about bonding?
592
00:24:28,291 --> 00:24:31,749
I can get along with everyone.
593
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:36,040
Okay, uh, are you-you trying to
convince me, or is someone else listening?
594
00:24:36,041 --> 00:24:37,332
[sighs] I need a drink.
595
00:24:37,333 --> 00:24:40,415
And I already took the liberty
of ordering for us.
596
00:24:40,416 --> 00:24:41,957
Whiskey, rocks?
597
00:24:41,958 --> 00:24:43,957
Oh, we won't be needing that one.
598
00:24:43,958 --> 00:24:46,499
Then, cosmo for the lady.
599
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:48,707
Cosmo's for me, my guy.
600
00:24:48,708 --> 00:24:50,708
Yeah. [sighs]
601
00:24:54,041 --> 00:24:56,708
- You remembered my drink?
- [Jarrett] Of course.
602
00:24:57,583 --> 00:24:59,583
I remember everything about you.
603
00:25:01,083 --> 00:25:03,374
And you really ordered a cosmo?

00:25:03,375 --> 00:25:06,916
Okay, I am a confident Black man.
605
00:25:08,666 --> 00:25:10,375

few minutes of free time over the weekend
612
00:25:29,583 --> 00:25:30,999
for this fool's errand.
613
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,165
Oh! And did I tell you what Dan did?
614
00:25:34,166 --> 00:25:36,082
Is it worse than me getting ghosted?
615
00:25:36,083 --> 00:25:37,749
- Oh, no.
- You got ghosted?
616
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:39,957
- Oh.
- The food didn't even come, and he left.
617
00:25:39,958 --> 00:25:41,332
[Jarrett] Excuse me. Excuse me. Yes, yes.
618
00:25:41,333 --> 00:25:43,165
We're-we're all traveling together.
Thank you.
619
00:25:43,166 --> 00:25:45,082
We are not. We don't know this man!
620
00:25:45,083 --> 00:25:47,082
- Hi, Jarrett.
- Hi, Brenda.
621
00:25:47,083 --> 00:25:48,249
How are you, Treese?
622
00:25:48,250 --> 00:25:50,874
[laughing]
623
00:25:50,875 --> 00:25:53,124
- He's so funny.
- [chuckles]
624
00:25:53,125 --> 00:25:56,040
And, Leah, so what are
you gonna do next, huh?
625
00:25:56,041 --> 00:25:59,166
Tell airport security I'm smuggling
something suspicious in my bag?
626
00:26:00,083 --> 00:26:01,832
Don't tempt me with a good time.
627
00:26:01,833 --> 00:26:04,082
Funny you should say that,
because Roland booked us together,
628
00:26:04,083 --> 00:26:07,207
so apparently he thinks I'm a good time.
629
00:26:07,208 --> 00:26:08,415
3A, huh?
630
00:26:08,416 --> 00:26:11,540
Well, would you look at that. 3B.
631
00:26:11,541 --> 00:26:12,874
Nice!
632
00:26:12,875 --> 00:26:14,957
Roland better be updating his LinkedIn.

- You look fantastic. [chuckles]
- [Natalie] Oh.
637
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:32,082
Is that a glow or God?
[laughs] Just kidding.
638
00:26:32,083 --> 00:26:34,707
- [laughing]
- [cameraperson] We're rolling.
639
00:26:34,708 --> 00:26:36,499
- [Brenda] All right, you guys ready?
- Let's do it.
640
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:39,124
[Brenda] With love in the spotlight
on Valentine's Day,
641
00:26:39,125 --> 00:26:41,332
I'm here with
New York Times best-selling author
642
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:43,749
Michael Todd and his lovely wife Natalie.
643
00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:44,874
Thanks for joining us.
644
00:26:44,875 --> 00:26:46,540
- We're so happy to be here.
- We're happy to be here.
- Oh.
645
00:26:46,541 --> 00:26:48,832
- This should be good.
- It's going to be great.
646
00:26:48,833 --> 00:26:50,999
Now, Michael, why do you think
your message about relationships
647
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,332
has continued to resonate
with people so strongly?
648
00:26:54,333 --> 00:26:57,290
Well, Brenda, I think it's because
relationships are hard.
649
00:26:57,291 --> 00:26:59,040
Dating is hard.
650
00:26:59,041 --> 00:27:03,499
Especially with all the constant messages
that we're getting on social media and TV,
651
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:05,374
the images, which makes it harder.
652
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:07,665
- Yeah.
- And this message is
653
00:27:07,666 --> 00:27:09,915
- to really help people find their aim.
- I love it.
654
00:27:09,916 --> 00:27:12,540
I am sensitive to lactose,
and this shit is cheesy.
655
00:27:12,541 --> 00:27:14,082
Then pop a Lactaid.
656
00:27:14,083 --> 00:27:15,582
This isn't a takedown.
657
00:27:15,583 --> 00:27:19,499
[Michael] Fixing your aim is actually
changing the focus from the superficial
658
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:23,290
and putting the focus on
the things that actually really matter
659
00:27:23,291 --> 00:27:25,165
to make a successful relationship.
660
00:27:25,166 --> 00:27:26,707
- [Brenda] Wow.
- [Michael] What are their core values?
661
00:27:26,708 --> 00:27:28,999
- Do they actually have character?
- Mm-hmm.
662
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,374
This is one thing I've found out,
is you can't Facebook faithfulness,
663
00:27:32,375 --> 00:27:34,624
and you cannot Instagram integrity.
664
00:27:34,625 --> 00:27:36,749
Great.
665
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:38,832
Enough with the softballs, Brenda.
666
00:27:38,833 --> 00:27:40,332
[Jarrett] Ignore her, Brenda.
667
00:27:40,333 --> 00:27:41,457
Ask him,
668
00:27:41,458 --> 00:27:45,499
what if someone's aim is off
but they think they're doing fine?
669
00:27:45,500 --> 00:27:46,790
[Brenda] What if a person is
670
00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:50,165
dating around and they don't think
they need to change?
671
00:27:50,166 --> 00:27:52,499
Well, then I got to talk about
chicken nuggets.
672
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,374
- [laughs] Okay.
- Now, just go with me for a second.
673
00:27:54,375 --> 00:27:55,832
- Chicken nuggets?
- Imagine that there was
674
00:27:55,833 --> 00:27:58,040
chicken nuggets being passed around,
675
00:27:58,041 --> 00:28:02,624
and everybody is putting
their beautiful hands into this bucket,

00:28:02,625 --> 00:28:04,665
touching them, nibbling on them,
677
00:28:04,666 --> 00:28:07,207

and then putting it back in there.
678
00:28:07,208 --> 00:28:08,749
- Ugh.
- The question is:
679
00:28:08,750 --> 00:28:10,332
Would you want
one of those chicken nuggets?
680
00:28:10,333 --> 00:28:12,374
No, I would not. [laughing]
681
00:28:12,375 --> 00:28:14,749
Oh, my God. [chuckles]
682
00:28:14,750 --> 00:28:16,457
I'm a nugget?
683
00:28:16,458 --> 00:28:19,040
...but I promise you,
it's gonna leave you feeling empty.
684
00:28:19,041 --> 00:28:21,249
What if that person's just empty?
685
00:28:21,250 --> 00:28:23,415
- Or what if they're full of it?
- [Brenda] That's why you recommend
686
00:28:23,416 --> 00:28:24,957
- dating intentionally, right?
- [Michael] Yes.
687
00:28:24,958 --> 00:28:26,249
Okay, talk to me about that.
688
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:29,207
You're not just going after every guy
that's cute and cut up...
689
00:28:29,208 --> 00:28:30,332
Mm.
690
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:32,082
...or every baddie with a body.
691
00:28:32,083 --> 00:28:34,290
Ooh, as tempting as it may be.
692
00:28:34,291 --> 00:28:36,624
- Dig deeper, Brenda.
- [Jarrett] Ignore her and stay on track.
693
00:28:36,625 --> 00:28:37,957
Don't listen to him!
694
00:28:37,958 --> 00:28:39,874
[Jarrett] Why are you
all up in my mic, yo?
695
00:28:39,875 --> 00:28:42,707
Because you're only using it
to make a glorified promo reel.
696
00:28:42,708 --> 00:28:43,832
This isn't To Catch a Predator.
697
00:28:43,833 --> 00:28:45,040
- Okay? Teamwork makes the dream work.
- Uh...
698
00:28:45,041 --> 00:28:47,124
- [arguing continues]
- So, this really sounds wise, right?
699
00:28:47,125 --> 00:28:48,457
All of this advice, but...
700
00:28:48,458 --> 00:28:50,540
Ask him if he thinks he's oversimplifying
701
00:28:50,541 --> 00:28:52,624
- relationship dynamics.
- [Jarrett] Jesus, take the wheel.
702
00:28:52,625 --> 00:28:53,790
- You're impossible.
- [Brenda] Relationships--
703
00:28:53,791 --> 00:28:55,832
Well, you're a walking red flag
who's afraid of commitment!
704
00:28:55,833 --> 00:28:58,665
And you're a narcissistic perfectionist
who's as stubborn as an ox.
705
00:28:58,666 --> 00:28:59,790
How 'bout that?
706
00:28:59,791 --> 00:29:01,457
Goodbye.
707
00:29:01,458 --> 00:29:02,540
Look what you did!
708
00:29:02,541 --> 00:29:05,249
Okay, you've been trying
to trash this story from the start.
709
00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:08,665
So, what if one person wants
to get married, though,
710
00:29:08,666 --> 00:29:10,332
and the other person doesn't?
711
00:29:10,333 --> 00:29:13,124
Asking for a Frienda.
712
00:29:13,125 --> 00:29:18,249
If you've been dating
three, four, five, God forbid, six years
713
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:20,790
- and there's no forward momentum...
- [Natalie] Mm-hmm.
714
00:29:20,791 --> 00:29:23,874
[Michael] ...you need to step back
and ask yourself:
715
00:29:23,875 --> 00:29:27,332
Is this the relationship
that God wants me to be in?
716
00:29:27,333 --> 00:29:29,499
Is this God's will for my life?
717
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:32,749
And maybe you need to ask
the even tougher question:
718
00:29:32,750 --> 00:29:35,583
Does this relationship need to end?
719
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:43,124
Brenda, are you okay?
720
00:29:43,125 --> 00:29:46,332
I just need to pray on this
and sort myself out.
721
00:29:46,333 --> 00:29:47,999
It's just one man's opinion.
722
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,290
Yeah, maybe. I don't know.
723
00:29:50,291 --> 00:29:51,374
I have to be honest.
724
00:29:51,375 --> 00:29:53,374
The thing that I keep worrying about is:
725
00:29:53,375 --> 00:29:56,290
Is it God's will, and is it time
to end the relationship?
726
00:29:56,291 --> 00:29:58,124
I'm sorry.
727
00:29:58,125 --> 00:30:00,416
Ladies, we are not okay.
728
00:30:01,416 --> 00:30:04,999
You're a mess. You're a mess. I'm a mess.
We are all three hot messes, okay?
729
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,207
This book is speaking to me.
730
00:30:07,208 --> 00:30:08,540
I've been reading it.
731
00:30:08,541 --> 00:30:11,040
- You mean decorating it?
- [Treese] I'm being serious.
732
00:30:11,041 --> 00:30:13,707
I think that we all need to fix our aim.
733
00:30:13,708 --> 00:30:15,499
Yeah, I'm-I'm good.
734
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:17,707
My aim is...
735
00:30:17,708 --> 00:30:18,832
- [blows softly]
- [Treese] Yeah?
736
00:30:18,833 --> 00:30:20,249
When's the last time you dated someone?
737
00:30:20,250 --> 00:30:22,540
Yeah, like, actually dated,
more than a week or two,
738
00:30:22,541 --> 00:30:24,457
'cause you never give anyone a chance.
739
00:30:24,458 --> 00:30:27,415
Work is my focus,
but if I found someone who fit The List--
740
00:30:27,416 --> 00:30:28,790
- The List.
- The List. Yes, we know.
741
00:30:28,791 --> 00:30:32,624
It is my masterpiece in progress
guiding me towards my perfect man.
742
00:30:32,625 --> 00:30:35,499
This book says that
you need to rip up The List.
743
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:37,540
I'm not ripping up anything.
744
00:30:37,541 --> 00:30:40,582
Do you know how long
it's taken me to curate that?
745
00:30:40,583 --> 00:30:46,374
What if all the things that you think
you want are actually holding you back?
746
00:30:46,375 --> 00:30:48,582
You are really drinking the Kool-Aid.
747
00:30:48,583 --> 00:30:50,915
Yeah. I'm chugging it.
748
00:30:50,916 --> 00:30:52,125
- [chuckles]
- Okay, look.
749
00:30:53,541 --> 00:30:55,957
"Have you ever known a girl
who dated pretty much any guy
750
00:30:55,958 --> 00:31:00,249
who happened to show an interest in her
without ever stopping to think about
751
00:31:00,250 --> 00:31:03,665
the kind of guy
who would really be right for her?"
752
00:31:03,666 --> 00:31:05,083
Mm.
753
00:31:05,875 --> 00:31:08,582
"Or a couple
who have dated for a long time
754
00:31:08,583 --> 00:31:10,124
and have gotten so comfortable with it
755
00:31:10,125 --> 00:31:12,750
that they aren't making
any move towards marriage?"
756
00:31:13,333 --> 00:31:16,165
Ooh, that book is a wake-up call.
[chuckles]
757
00:31:16,166 --> 00:31:18,832
You know, I-I was really trying to be
the "go with the flow" chick,
758
00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:21,124
but I can't do that anymore.
759
00:31:21,125 --> 00:31:24,957
And I can't just keep going out
with every guy who swipes right.
760
00:31:24,958 --> 00:31:26,040
Mm.
761
00:31:26,041 --> 00:31:27,957
I got to try this.
762
00:31:27,958 --> 00:31:30,833
Chapter four. It's the nugget chapter.
763
00:31:32,083 --> 00:31:33,415
"Intentional Dating."
764
00:31:33,416 --> 00:31:36,791
Yep. And I need to reread chapter five:
"Does It Need to End?"
765
00:31:39,625 --> 00:31:41,582
- Seriously, nothing speaks to you?
- [scoffs]
766
00:31:41,583 --> 00:31:44,374
Like the chapter about
unpacking to repack?
767
00:31:44,375 --> 00:31:47,124
You don't think that
you need to fix your aim?
768
00:31:47,125 --> 00:31:51,832
While I appreciate the concern,
my aim is clear.
769
00:31:51,833 --> 00:31:56,332
I'm going to kick Jarrett Roy to the curb,
land my promotion,
770
00:31:56,333 --> 00:32:00,708
break the glass ceiling,
and then everything will be great.
771
