1. Ah, that's a great question, Nance.
Copy !req
2. Probably her voice.
Copy !req
3. - That's great, Preston.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
4. - Tristan?
- Well, Preston took my answer but...
Copy !req
5. But no.
I think I'll miss her laugh the most.
Copy !req
6. - Amen to that.
- Great, Tristan.
Copy !req
7. - Thanks.
- Duncan?
Copy !req
8. Ah, it's tough 'cause all those
are such great answers.
Copy !req
9. - Thanks.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
10. But if I'm gonna be honest,
Copy !req
11. the one thing I'm gonna miss most
about Mom this Thanksgiving
Copy !req
12. is her cooking.
Copy !req
13. - Okay. Good answer.
- That's a good answer.
Copy !req
14. She cooked a pretty mean turkey, huh?
Copy !req
15. - She could cook anything.
- Mom's signature grilled cheese?
Copy !req
16. - Oh, my God.
- You kidding me?
Copy !req
17. - Unreal.
- You kidding me right now?
Copy !req
18. It was in the details, you know?
Copy !req
19. She'd always remember
to make Duncan's with sharp cheddar.
Copy !req
20. Colby for Tristan. And me?
Copy !req
21. I'm a pepper jack guy,
you know that, Nance.
Copy !req
22. Well, I guess that just about wraps it up.
Copy !req
23. I think we've come a long way
on our healing journey, don't you, guys?
Copy !req
24. Bang up job, Nance.
Copy !req
25. Well, I'm happy to hear you're finding
these sessions helpful, boys.
Copy !req
26. I'm going to be taking a little time off
next week for Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
27. My wife and I are going
on a Caribbean cruise.
Copy !req
28. That's all well and good, Nance,
but what about our Thanksgiving session?
Copy !req
29. You know the holidays
can be pretty tough for us.
Copy !req
30. I recently met a new therapist in town.
Copy !req
31. He actually specializes in therapy
for young men such as yourselves.
Copy !req
32. I told him to expect a call
from you guys over Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
33. Okay, well, we'll be sad
not to have you here,
Copy !req
34. but we're happy to hear
Copy !req
35. that you're taking that cruise
after hurricane season.
Copy !req
36. Yeah, I was gonna say
after hurricane season.
Copy !req
37. All right, boys, dinner is ready.
Copy !req
38. What? We were just talking
about grilled cheese sandwiches.
Copy !req
39. What's the occasion, Dad?
Copy !req
40. Your therapist thought
it might be a good idea
Copy !req
41. if I cook up some of your favorite dishes
around the holiday season.
Copy !req
42. - That's sweet of her.
- I love Nance.
Copy !req
43. All right, well, dig in.
Copy !req
44. So, what cheese did you go with?
Copy !req
45. Looks like... Swiss.
Copy !req
46. Duncan, are you okay?
Copy !req
47. - Bottled water?
- Sure.
Copy !req
48. - That'd be great. Appreciate it.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
49. Yeah, thank you.
Copy !req
50. - Whoa!
- Look at this place.
Copy !req
51. - This place is a palace.
- And the neon sign.
Copy !req
52. - This place has its own zip code.
- Okay, everybody zip it. Don't tell me.
Copy !req
53. So you must be Preston,
which would make you Tristan.
Copy !req
54. - And don't tell me. Duncan.
- That's right.
Copy !req
55. You can call me Justin, but it's J-Money
on the high score list for Buck Hunter.
Copy !req
56. Not sure if it's gonna be a high score
for long, Justin.
Copy !req
57. Yes! I love that energy.
Copy !req
58. All right, pop a squat on the sofa.
We're gonna crack this nut.
Copy !req
59. - Nice, Preston.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
60. - So, how do we do this?
- I'm sorry?
Copy !req
61. Listen, I know building a relationship
with a new therapist can be awkward.
Copy !req
62. It can be messy. You know, we're males.
Copy !req
63. We're territorial.
We're gonna sniff each other out, right?
Copy !req
64. So, it's really important at the beginning
that we establish a space of trust.
Copy !req
65. - Yeah, totally.
- Sure, yeah.
Copy !req
66. So, think of me as a friend.
A therapist is, like, secondary, okay?
Copy !req
67. - I wanna be friends first.
- Well, we'd like that, Justin.
Copy !req
68. So, how did you and your old therapist
get the conversation going?
Copy !req
69. Well, she had a little wooden baton
we'd pass around when we wanted to speak.
Copy !req
70. Know what? I can work with that.
Copy !req
71. What would be my superpower?
Copy !req
72. I'm gonna have to go
with invisibility on this one.
Copy !req
73. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out! Time out!
Copy !req
74. Invisibility as a superpower over flying?
Copy !req
75. - Duncan, any superpower?
- X-ray vision.
Copy !req
76. X-ray vision. Duncan the ladies' man.
Copy !req
77. - What?
- You dirty dog.
Copy !req
78. - No, not like that.
- Hey, we're men.
Copy !req
79. - It's a safe space, remember?
- No, we have girlfriends.
Copy !req
80. Nice. Give me the deets.
Copy !req
81. On a scale of one to ten,
are we talking, like, Salma Hayek or...
Copy !req
82. Yeah, they're pretty hot.
Copy !req
83. - Tristan!
- Well, if I had to choose,
Copy !req
84. it'd probably be turning back time.
Copy !req
85. Interesting. Why is that?
Copy !req
86. You know, how many times
have you said something dumb
Copy !req
87. and just wish you could
have said something else?
Copy !req
88. Does your dad make you feel dumb?
Copy !req
89. Dad? Our dad?
Copy !req
90. You know, when I was your age,
my dad used to make me feel
Copy !req
91. pretty dumb sometimes. Sorry.
Copy !req
92. - Is it cool if I unload on you guys?
- Of course, Justin.
Copy !req
93. Yeah. I mean, our old therapist
never opened up to us.
Copy !req
94. Yeah, just last week
we found out she's a lesbian.
Copy !req
95. Yeah, let's just say I didn't have
the best male role model growing up.
Copy !req
96. My old man had a laundry list of vices.
Copy !req
97. An alcoholic, womanizer, cheat.
Copy !req
98. - Yeah, you name it.
- Justin, I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
99. Get some.
Copy !req
100. It's kind of the reason
I got into this line of work.
Copy !req
101. I find that most issues with young men
stem from their fathers.
Copy !req
102. Well, not us.
Our dad is seriously incredible.
Copy !req
103. - End of story.
- Well, surely he's not perfect.
Copy !req
104. No, like in our eyes, our dad's Superman.
Copy !req
105. There's no doubt about that.
Copy !req
106. You guys can't think
of one small little thing about your dad
Copy !req
107. that bothers you? Tristan?
Copy !req
108. Well, I mean...
Copy !req
109. His cooking could use some improvement.
Copy !req
110. Boy, it's like a maze in here.
Copy !req
111. - Dad!
- Dad!
Copy !req
112. Whoa! The man, the myth, the legend.
Copy !req
113. - You raised some fine boys, sir.
- All right.
Copy !req
114. Yeah, I think they're all right.
Gosh, we better head home.
Copy !req
115. I gotta get that turkey in the oven.
Copy !req
116. Yeah, I'm sure your boys
are all looking forward
Copy !req
117. to eating your turkey.
Copy !req
118. Right, guys?
Copy !req
119. Let's see if we can find our way
back to the car. Thanks, Justin.
Copy !req
120. And make sure to download our app.
Don't be a stranger.
Copy !req
121. I know Thanksgivings
are a little different these days.
Copy !req
122. But just know you still have
your mom's goofy kid brother to talk to.
Copy !req
123. - Appreciate that, Uncle Kelsey.
- That means a lot, Uncle Kelsey. Thanks.
Copy !req
124. But for now...
Copy !req
125. Hang on. I gotta get a screenshot of this.
Copy !req
126. Here, this is my good side.
Copy !req
127. Okay, we're officially making this
your contact photo, Uncle Kelsey.
Copy !req
128. You've been notified.
Copy !req
129. Whoa, what just happened?
Copy !req
130. Shoot, I accidentally clicked
on an alert, I guess.
Copy !req
131. So I'm confused.
Copy !req
132. Is this the account for Empowermen,
or is this just his personal?
Copy !req
133. - Hey, boys.
- Dad!
Copy !req
134. Well, I guess I'm the turkey this year.
Copy !req
135. I didn't realize a bird would take
so long to cook.
Copy !req
136. So, how does meatloaf sound instead?
Copy !req
137. So, no turkey this Thanksgiving?
Copy !req
138. Of course, Dad. Meatloaf sounds amazing.
Copy !req
139. - We can go to the store with you, Dad.
- That would be great.
Copy !req
140. - Who's blowing you up?
- Just the girls. You know how they can be.
Copy !req
141. Gentlemen, shall we?
Copy !req
142. Let's see, let's see.
Did we already pass the deli section?
Copy !req
143. - Yeah, Dad. What do you need?
- We'll get it for you.
Copy !req
144. Four pounds of ground beef.
Copy !req
145. - You got it.
- Come on, guys, let's go.
Copy !req
146. We gotta text Justin back
about Dad's cooking
Copy !req
147. before this gets out of hand.
Copy !req
148. So what if Dad made grilled cheese
with Swiss cheese?
Copy !req
149. It's not a crime.
Copy !req
150. Okay, maybe we should establish
a space of trust first.
Copy !req
151. - Yeah, maybe with a "ha-ha" or something?
- Yeah, so that he feels validated.
Copy !req
152. - Faster, Preston!
- Quick, add an emoji!
Copy !req
153. Do a laughing emoji!
Copy !req
154. Happy tears, Preston!
Copy !req
155. Crap! I sent it prematurely!
Copy !req
156. Oh, yeah, he's having a hell of a season,
but we'll see how long that lasts.
Copy !req
157. Hey, look who I ran into.
Copy !req
158. Your dad was just telling me
you're having meatloaf tonight.
Copy !req
159. - That should be interesting.
- Yep, we're all looking forward to it.
Copy !req
160. I bet. I'm jealous.
Copy !req
161. Well, heck, if you don't have any
Thanksgiving plans, you should join us.
Copy !req
162. Well, usually I try
and establish boundaries with my patients,
Copy !req
163. but since you're
the one inviting me, yeah.
Copy !req
164. I don't see any issues with that.
Copy !req
165. All right. Love that energy.
Copy !req
166. - Oh, my God.
- So, yeah, this is his bathroom.
Copy !req
167. Heated floors.
Copy !req
168. Seems a little indulgent,
don't you think, guys?
Copy !req
169. Here, Justin, let us show you
the rest of the house.
Copy !req
170. Whoa, so let me get this straight.
Copy !req
171. Your dad gets a TV in his bathroom,
but you guys don't?
Copy !req
172. Hey, maybe we should program your dad's TV
to the cooking channel.
Copy !req
173. - He's gonna need that, right?
- Justin, listen.
Copy !req
174. - About our dad's cooking...
- All right, guys, dinner is served!
Copy !req
175. Sounds good, Dad!
Copy !req
176. I thought I smelled something burning.
Copy !req
177. Now, I may have left the meatloaf
in the oven a few minutes too long.
Copy !req
178. - Are you kidding me?
- The meatloaf looks fantastic, Dad.
Copy !req
179. Well, let's just hope it tastes
as good as it looks.
Copy !req
180. Hope you're hungry, Justin.
Copy !req
181. - Not bad.
- "Not bad," he says.
Copy !req
182. - My compliments to the chef.
- Way to go, Dad.
Copy !req
183. I really wanted to give you boys
a Thanksgiving to remember.
Copy !req
184. Well, I think meatloaf's gonna have
to be our new family tradition.
Copy !req
185. Look at Duncan.
Copy !req
186. You know it's good when his eyes
are rolling back in his head.
Copy !req
187. The rolls!
Copy !req
188. Oh, my God, this is classic.
POV, your dad's a complete fuck-up.
Copy !req
189. You want a POV, Justin?
Copy !req
190. Get a POV of this. POV,
Copy !req
191. when you're raised by the best dad
on the goddamn planet.
Copy !req
192. So our dad isn't a Michelin star chef.
Big whoop.
Copy !req
193. The important thing
is that he's doing his best.
Copy !req
194. Don't let your father's mistakes
shape the way you see all fathers, Justin.
Copy !req
195. 'Cause there's some
pretty cool ones out there.
Copy !req
196. If you just take the time to look.
Copy !req
197. In all my years of being a father, Justin,
Copy !req
198. I've learned there's no secret recipe.
Copy !req
199. However, I do know
there's a few key ingredients.
Copy !req
200. A pinch of love, a dash of humility—
Copy !req
201. And a cup of Dr. Pepper.
Copy !req
202. What? Our dad likes Dr. Pepper.
Copy !req
203. So, Justin,
Copy !req
204. tell me your deepest, darkest secrets.
Copy !req
205. Spare no details.
Copy !req
