1. What's his real name again?Copy !req
2. - Charlie.
- Charlie, Charlie right.Copy !req
3. Hi, Charlie.Copy !req
4. Oh, she's putting a hat on him.
She's putting a hat.Copy !req
5. We have to put on a hat,Copy !req
6. we have to put on a hat,
it's not gonna match.Copy !req
7. Do you have a hat?
Put him in the hat.Copy !req
8. - There we go.Copy !req
9. - Oh, it's just a...Copy !req
10. It's just a hat, you're okay.Copy !req
11. Okay.
Wait till she clears the room.Copy !req
12. Okay, go, she's clear.
Go, go, go, now, now, now.Copy !req
13. - Now.Copy !req
14. And we're out.Copy !req
15. - Hi. Yeah.
- Okay. Oh, you are a sweetheart.Copy !req
16. All right, thank you everyone.
Great work.Copy !req
17. Most people say
that nothing can prepare youCopy !req
18. for becoming a parent.Copy !req
19. But most people don't have
the resourcesCopy !req
20. to hire dozens of child actorsCopy !req
21. to create around the clock
simulation of parenthood.Copy !req
22. To raise a child from zero to 18
over the course of two monthsCopy !req
23. before deciding if you want
to have one yourself.Copy !req
24. That's the rehearsal
I'm giving Angela,Copy !req
25. a 44-year-old womanCopy !req
26. who has chronically
put off having childrenCopy !req
27. because the circumstances
have never been quite right.Copy !req
28. I'd like it' to happen in—
within the right context.Copy !req
29. Which is what?Copy !req
30. In a marriage, with a man.Copy !req
31. - Okay.
- Yeah.Copy !req
32. - Yeah, that makes sense.
- With the love of my life.Copy !req
33. And is— Do you have
that person in your lifeCopy !req
34. right now or...Copy !req
35. - No, I don't.
- Okay.Copy !req
36. Yeah.Copy !req
37. - My challengeCopy !req
38. was simulating
the future life circumstancesCopy !req
39. she envisioned for herself
if she were to become a mother.Copy !req
40. Are you seeing anyone you like?Copy !req
41. - No.
- What about him?Copy !req
42. Just a little out of shape,
maybe.Copy !req
43. Mm-hmm. What about him?Copy !req
44. - His outfit, it's too serious.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
45. And Angela was very particular.Copy !req
46. I think I'll bring
this air purifier too.Copy !req
47. So we had to relocate
her from her studio apartmentCopy !req
48. to a rented house
in rural OregonCopy !req
49. because she didn't want to raise
a kid in the city.Copy !req
50. We'd probably have a house
with a couple of acres,Copy !req
51. with food and animals.
We'd probably be online,Copy !req
52. but we'd also have access
to go off the gridCopy !req
53. because infant skulls
have not fully formed,Copy !req
54. so they absorb
wireless radiationCopy !req
55. a lot more than we do
into their brains.Copy !req
56. - Oh, okay.
- Yeah.Copy !req
57. But her fears made sense
to me.Copy !req
58. It's scary to imagine raising
a child when you always knowCopy !req
59. that a single misstep
on your partCopy !req
60. could ruin their entire life.Copy !req
61. Angela's rehearsal began
with a simulated adoptionCopy !req
62. just like she envisioned.Copy !req
63. Where I had the baby's
real mother give him away.Copy !req
64. - Hi.
- Yeah. This is for the best.Copy !req
65. He's better off with you
than with me, so...Copy !req
66. Thank you.Copy !req
67. Maybe you can elaborate a bitCopy !req
68. on why you're not suited
to be a mom.Copy !req
69. Yeah, I'm in school full time
and...Copy !req
70. - Yeah.
- ... he just needsCopy !req
71. - a complete home, so...
- I can give him that.Copy !req
72. I tried to make
every detail of the experienceCopy !req
73. as realistic as possible.Copy !req
74. Is this, um...Copy !req
75. something you would normally,
like, hand off or anything,Copy !req
76. - this situation?
- No— I've never done that,Copy !req
77. - I don't think.
- Oh, okay.Copy !req
78. Angela already
had a name in mind for her baby.Copy !req
79. I think I've decided on Adam.Copy !req
80. - He likes it.
- Why Adam, what...Copy !req
81. I knew a guy named Adam
and he was, you know...Copy !req
82. It's just— It's—
Adam is a strong name.Copy !req
83. - Like, Adam.
- Adam?Copy !req
84. - Yeah.
- Okay, yeah.Copy !req
85. Each week Adam will grow
three years, and for each ageCopy !req
86. multiple child actors
will be neededCopy !req
87. in order to comply
with Oregon state labor lawsCopy !req
88. that limit the number of hours
a child can work.Copy !req
89. With babies capped at four hoursCopy !req
90. it requires multiple switches
each day,Copy !req
91. which I tried to make
as seamless as possibleCopy !req
92. to keep the illusion of raisingCopy !req
93. a single child intact
for Angela.Copy !req
94. But just as important
as her experienceCopy !req
95. was the well-being
of the babies.Copy !req
96. Ask them about aromatherapy.
Like, if they're okay with...Copy !req
97. - ... lavender...Copy !req
98. - Okay.
on the soles of the feet.Copy !req
99. Lavender on the soles
of the feet?Copy !req
100. Mm-hmm, the oil.Copy !req
101. I had to keep track
of everything she wanted to doCopy !req
102. with these kids and get
the real parents' consent.Copy !req
103. Lavender oil on soles of feet
to calm them.Copy !req
104. Sure, she can give it a shot
if she wants.Copy !req
105. Okay.
Lavender oil okay.Copy !req
106. But the most important element
of Angela's future lifeCopy !req
107. as a mother was still missing,
a man by her side.Copy !req
108. Prior to the start
of her rehearsal,Copy !req
109. I'd encouraged her to meet upCopy !req
110. with some of her
dating app matchesCopy !req
111. to see if she could find someoneCopy !req
112. with the qualities
she was looking forCopy !req
113. in a co-parent.Copy !req
114. I mean, I'm not saying
that all extra-biblical textsCopy !req
115. are bad 'cause definitely like
the Dead Sea Scrolls or...Copy !req
116. - No.
- The Apocrypha.Copy !req
117. But a lot of believersCopy !req
118. of various denominations
don't really read the BibleCopy !req
119. and they don't really know
what it says.Copy !req
120. - Mm-hmm.
- So, that
can be problematicCopy !req
121. because then people start
going by their opinions and...Copy !req
122. - Yeah.
- Yeah, because...Copy !req
123. - Yeah, so...
- Yeah.Copy !req
124. Yeah.Copy !req
125. For a while
it seemed likeCopy !req
126. she would never find
a connection.Copy !req
127. I was just wondering,
what scares you the most?Copy !req
128. - In life.
- Well...Copy !req
129. first off, it's eels.Copy !req
130. Until,Copy !req
131. - she met a guy named Robin.Copy !req
132. Angela? Good to meet you,
how's your day?Copy !req
133. Nice to meet you.
It's going crazy.Copy !req
134. - All right. It's crazy?Copy !req
135. No, it's good, it's fabulous.Copy !req
136. - Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
137. Yeah, same here.Copy !req
138. - Oh, really?
- Absolutely blessed.Copy !req
139. - It's a very good day.
- Very blessed.Copy !req
140. - I agree with that.
- Yes.Copy !req
141. This is the Lord's Prayer,
Matthew 6:19 through 13Copy !req
142. with a heartbeat monitor.Copy !req
143. - Nice.
- You know, ask the Father,Copy !req
144. to give me everything
I need every day,Copy !req
145. - take care of me.
- Yeah.Copy !req
146. I was like standing
on the cornerCopy !req
147. drinking forties...Copy !req
148. - Mm.
- ... you know, smoking weed.Copy !req
149. And, um, so God like,
pursued me though.Copy !req
150. I made
a few bad decisions and ended upCopy !req
151. totaling my Scion TC
at 100 miles an hour.Copy !req
152. - Oh, wow!
- Yeah.Copy !req
153. I found myself upright.Copy !req
154. - Whoa.
- Uh, as miracle
as that is, so...Copy !req
155. - That's a testimony.
- Yeah.Copy !req
156. - Amen.
- Amen.Copy !req
157. I was hopeful Angela
would want to invite RobinCopy !req
158. to join her rehearsal.
But now, we were three days inCopy !req
159. and she still wasn't sure.Copy !req
160. For me, more
than a ten-year differenceCopy !req
161. - feels a little—
- And he might beCopy !req
162. - younger than that.
- Maybe.Copy !req
163. You know, my goal is just forCopy !req
164. your rehearsal
to reflect realityCopy !req
165. - and I know...
- Yeah.Copy !req
166. with a partner it would—
That would happen for you, so...Copy !req
167. - Well...
- Yeah.Copy !req
168. I can say, it can
still be realisticCopy !req
169. - because my husband could be
at work.
- Yeah.Copy !req
170. And I started to wonderCopy !req
171. if she was less interested
in an accurate simulationCopy !req
172. of her future life
and instead just wantedCopy !req
173. a fun vacation
in her dream home.Copy !req
174. I hadn't intended
for this to be easy.Copy !req
175. Since baby actors
can't work pass 7:30,Copy !req
176. the final switch of the night
was to a robot babyCopy !req
177. that would mimic
the sleep patternsCopy !req
178. of a human baby.Copy !req
179. To do this, I hired a local man
who claimed to be a night owl...Copy !req
180. All right.Copy !req
181. whose job was
to watch a live feed
of a real babyCopy !req
182. and manually make
the robot baby cry in sync.Copy !req
183. Unfortunately, it turned outCopy !req
184. he was not a night owlCopy !req
185. and fell asleep
within 15 minutesCopy !req
186. of the start of his shift.Copy !req
187. And the next night,
it happened again.Copy !req
188. Robbing Angela of the experience
of being woken upCopy !req
189. throughout the night
and giving her the impressionCopy !req
190. that motherhood was a walk
in the park.Copy !req
191. - Hey, how's it going?
- It was all right, brother.Copy !req
192. I'd be negligent
if I didn't fix this.Copy !req
193. Didn't you describe yourself
as a night owl.Copy !req
194. Oh, absolutely.
Yes, indeed, yeah.Copy !req
195. And once things were up
and running again...Copy !req
196. - ... Angela seems to be cravingCopy !req
197. an extra set of hands.Copy !req
198. Because within a day,
she had set upCopy !req
199. a second date with Robin.Copy !req
200. Are you dressed for your date?Copy !req
201. - I think so, yeah.
- You look great.Copy !req
202. - Thank you.
- Very, very...Copy !req
203. - Yay!Copy !req
204. But when I reminded her
it was her responsibilityCopy !req
205. to organize childcare,
things got a little tense.Copy !req
206. I need more notice.Copy !req
207. So I have time
to arrange a babysitter.Copy !req
208. I mean, it's tough
because I mean, technically,Copy !req
209. - crew— The crew of...
- Right.Copy !req
210. Our crew can't help out
with any child-raising tasks.Copy !req
211. - So, let's reschedule...
- Right.Copy !req
212. for like a week, you know,
next week or something.Copy !req
213. - Right.
- I couldn't letCopy !req
214. this experience go
to waste for her,Copy !req
215. so I insisted she go on her date
and just this once,Copy !req
216. I broke my own rule
and offered to babysit myself.Copy !req
217. - How are you doing?Copy !req
218. Okay, shall we walk
a little bit?Copy !req
219. Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!Copy !req
220. - Okay.Copy !req
221. Gotcha.Copy !req
222. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
223. - You're lying.Copy !req
224. - No.Copy !req
225. - Oh, no, are you okay? Oh, no.Copy !req
226. It's okay, it's okay.Copy !req
227. - Aw.Copy !req
228. What's your dream,
like, for your life?Copy !req
229. Oh, okay.Copy !req
230. - It's okay, it's okay.Copy !req
231. - Hey.
- Hello.Copy !req
232. - How's it going?
- Good.Copy !req
233. - Here you go, he's sleeping.
- Oh, good, thank you.Copy !req
234. - I changed his diaper.
- Thank you for watching him.Copy !req
235. Yeah, I've never changed
a diaper before.Copy !req
236. How'd it go?Copy !req
237. Pretty good,
but that doesn't matter.Copy !req
238. - How did it go with Robin?Copy !req
239. - It was really great.
- Yeah?Copy !req
240. Yeah, I had a good time
with him.Copy !req
241. And there were a lot
of amazing coincidences againCopy !req
242. - in our conversations, so...
- Like what?Copy !req
243. Just things
that he was mentioningCopy !req
244. about numbers that have come up
in his life,Copy !req
245. you know, like, sometimes
you seek signsCopy !req
246. and numbers repeating.Copy !req
247. So he felt like those were signsCopy !req
248. that this was supposed
to happen.Copy !req
249. - Okay.Copy !req
250. So, Angela invited Robin
over to the houseCopy !req
251. for a third date.Copy !req
252. Where she would propose
that he joined herCopy !req
253. in raising her child.Copy !req
254. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
255. He's kind
of a top candidateCopy !req
256. - for— to be a co-parent.
- Oh.
To be a co-parent?Copy !req
257. - Okay.
- Yeah.Copy !req
258. Well, they seem
to get along well enough.Copy !req
259. - Yeah.
- Hmm.Copy !req
260. - No, I think you're very clean.
- Come on. Don't I look clean?Copy !req
261. There's actually
a baby in the house.Copy !req
262. - There is?
- Yes, and I was wondering if—Copy !req
263. - Oh, wow.
- His name is Adam.Copy !req
264. I was wondering if you would
like to meet him.Copy !req
265. Really?Copy !req
266. - Hi.
- How are you doing?Copy !req
267. - This is not my baby.
- Okay.Copy !req
268. It's to explore the idea
of having—Copy !req
269. what it's like
to raise children.Copy !req
270. - Mm-hmm.
- Uh, it's for a projectCopy !req
271. that is going on.Copy !req
272. But it'll progress
from like babiesCopy !req
273. then like toddlers,
three-year-olds,Copy !req
274. then like pre-teens, then teens,Copy !req
275. - um...
- That's awesome.Copy !req
276. and there is cameras
all over.Copy !req
277. - All right.
- And there is alsoCopy !req
278. cameras in the house.Copy !req
279. - There's even a robot baby...
- Really.Copy !req
280. that they leave overnightCopy !req
281. and it wakes me up,
and I have to get upCopy !req
282. and feed it
until it stops crying.Copy !req
283. So I'm staying here.Copy !req
284. It's, you know,
obviously not my house.Copy !req
285. Okay.Copy !req
286. - Right.
- They...Copy !req
287. I was like, when do I move in?Copy !req
288. So this is the thing,
you know...Copy !req
289. Well, I mean,
I was exploring the ideaCopy !req
290. of, I was wondering
what— how you would feelCopy !req
291. about participating,
like co-participatingCopy !req
292. in something like this.Copy !req
293. - Really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
294. I think that
that would definitelyCopy !req
295. be something
that would entice me.Copy !req
296. - Okay.Copy !req
297. Does he seem like
the type of guyCopy !req
298. you'd be comfortable
having around your baby?Copy !req
299. Yeah, he seems like nice
and friendly and stuff,
I mean...Copy !req
300. I was wondering, you know,
'cause we're both believers.Copy !req
301. - Yes.
- What are your convictionsCopy !req
302. about purity, like, in dating?Copy !req
303. - As far as, like, sexual?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
304. I...Copy !req
305. I definitely do...Copy !req
306. have sexual relations.Copy !req
307. - You do.
- Yeah.Copy !req
308. Okay. You know,Copy !req
309. I'm not giving this for nobody,
except my husband.Copy !req
310. So if there's, like,
a temptation issueCopy !req
311. that would definitely
come up if...Copy !req
312. you know, you were
to participate in this project.Copy !req
313. Okay, like, I don't understand
'cause, like,Copy !req
314. I know
I'm a very attractive person.Copy !req
315. - You know.
- Maybe.Copy !req
316. - Yeah, I...Copy !req
317. Kinda. And...Copy !req
318. - Oh, yeah, you are.
- Yeah.Copy !req
319. Thank you.Copy !req
320. - You're beautiful.
- Thank you.Copy !req
321. - All right.
- Bye.Copy !req
322. All right.Copy !req
323. Hey, man. Robin?
I'm Nathan.Copy !req
324. - Hi.
- Hey.Copy !req
325. Good to meet you.Copy !req
326. I'm just wondering
are you...Copy !req
327. Do you think you're interested
in joining Angela in this, uh...Copy !req
328. project or...Copy !req
329. It sounds like somethingCopy !req
330. that I'm definitely interested
in without a doubt.Copy !req
331. Well, would you want
to try it out for tonightCopy !req
332. - and then we can...
- Sure.Copy !req
333. 'Cause actually even
where I'm living now...Copy !req
334. my roommate
doesn't believe in Jesus...Copy !req
335. - Okay.
- And she has clearlyCopy !req
336. - stated that. And—
- Is that a problem?Copy !req
337. - Yeah, it's a problem for me.
- Okay.Copy !req
338. Yeah, definitely.Copy !req
339. Robin said he needed
to drive homeCopy !req
340. to get some stuff for the night,Copy !req
341. so I tagged along
to do my due diligenceCopy !req
342. on behalf of the parents.Copy !req
343. - Wow.Copy !req
344. Do you want me
to hold your phone,Copy !req
345. so you don't have to look down?Copy !req
346. You mean, like,
hold it up?Copy !req
347. - Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah.Copy !req
348. Or is it little— just dangerous
maybe to have it on your lap.Copy !req
349. Is that helpful?Copy !req
350. - I mean, I do that all the time.
- Like this?Copy !req
351. - Oh, like have it on your lap?
- Yeah.Copy !req
352. Just the roads are—
Watch out for that.Copy !req
353. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
354. Thirty-three miles
'til empty.Copy !req
355. Jesus Christ was crucified
at 33.Copy !req
356. - Fifty-five on the mileage.
- Oh, okay.Copy !req
357. Big change transformation.Copy !req
358. Thank grace. Oh, 22.Copy !req
359. Turning all dreams
and desires into reality.Copy !req
360. All right. Can I fill regular?Copy !req
361. Oh, wow, it just said 88.Copy !req
362. - What's that?
- I looked at it when it said 88.Copy !req
363. The miles going up,
you mean?Copy !req
364. They are going up.
I looked at itCopy !req
365. at 88.
Eighty-eight, New Beginnings.Copy !req
366. And it's approaching 644Copy !req
367. and what's a trip
is after I totaled my Scion TCCopy !req
368. last April 2nd
at 100 miles an hour...Copy !req
369. I had a focus just like thatCopy !req
370. that I got blessed with
for 200 dollars.Copy !req
371. - Nice place.
- Thank you.Copy !req
372. Do you have kinda, like,
three mattresses in here?Copy !req
373. Yeah,
I need to get rid of 'em.Copy !req
374. But...Copy !req
375. Remaining celibate...Copy !req
376. I don't know, I just...Copy !req
377. You know? I feel like...Copy !req
378. it might— that might change.Copy !req
379. - You think you're gonna have
sex with her tonight?
- Who knows?Copy !req
380. The door is open, I guess.
I don't know.Copy !req
381. Do you use condoms?Copy !req
382. - Not really.
- Oh.Copy !req
383. - In there...
- Is that a— What is this?Copy !req
384. This?Copy !req
385. - Oh.
- The bong.Copy !req
386. You know how to hit a bong,
right?Copy !req
387. I noticed as I was gonna
make a sandwich,Copy !req
388. we don't have mayonnaise.Copy !req
389. - No?
- I was like, "What?"Copy !req
390. - Yeah, buy some.
- Yeah.Copy !req
391. 'Cause I don't use
mayo too much.Copy !req
392. I saw 44 on a plate,
and there was a carCopy !req
393. with the Baby on Board,
Carlo stickerCopy !req
394. just like the one that was
on my Scion TCCopy !req
395. that I crashed at 100 miles
an hour—Copy !req
396. All right, man,
I gotta— Hey,Copy !req
397. I have a hard time seeing
the coincidencesCopy !req
398. in just, like,
two numbers though.Copy !req
399. It's just so crazy,
I've seen 88, like,Copy !req
400. the water that she offered me,
88 on it.Copy !req
401. - Like again—
- The kid's name is Adam.Copy !req
402. Why you think so much more
about numbers than you do, like,Copy !req
403. the real-life experiences of,
like, you know, this is—Copy !req

424. Because you kinda, like,
took a little bit of weed or...Copy !req
425. Oh, no, I can drive.Copy !req

427. - Okay.

- No, no, no.Copy !req
444. it is your turn to go in
and feed the baby the bottle.Copy !req
445. Okay.Copy !req
446. My Christian friends
gonna be like,Copy !req
447. "Oh, my gosh,
you spent the night aloneCopy !req
448. in the house with a manCopy !req
449. - who's not your husband?"Copy !req
450. I know
that the government hasCopy !req
451. sasquatch liaisons.Copy !req
452. People that actually
can communicateCopy !req
453. with these creatures,
and, you know?Copy !req
454. I've heard a lot of different
whistleblowers come up onlineCopy !req
455. and, you know, through differentCopy !req
456. - radio shows and—
- Crying.Copy !req
457. - That's a loud one.Copy !req
458. It can be scary
to let a new personCopy !req
459. into your life.Copy !req
460. - Press it again.Copy !req
461. You have to open up
your heart to them.Copy !req
462. But you can never be fully sure
what their motives are.Copy !req
463. - Heavy cry.Copy !req
464. - Heavy cry.
- Heavy cry.Copy !req
465. - Keep him crying don't let up.
- Okay.Copy !req
466. And even if you wish

467. they often end up
disappointing you.Copy !req
468. - He's bailing.
- What?Copy !req
469. He's bailing, he's leaving.Copy !req
470. Wasn't cut out for it,
I guess. Not everybody is.Copy !req
471. Sometimes I'm not sure
why I make the choices I do.Copy !req
472. I transported a fake bar
across the countryCopy !req
473. from New York to OregonCopy !req
474. just because I didn't want
to throw it away.Copy !req
475. But I had no use for it here
and it didn't even fitCopy !req
476. in the building they put it in.Copy !req
477. I guess it's nice to have
something familiar around.Copy !req
478. And especially because I was
gonna be out here for a while.Copy !req
479. I was put up
in a corporate suiteCopy !req
480. which was apparently
their model unit,Copy !req
481. so it had some nice amenities.Copy !req
482. And I was allowed
to bring my cats with meCopy !req
483. which made it
a little less lonely.Copy !req
484. Maybe when everything around you
is so temporary,Copy !req
485. you start longing
for something more permanent.Copy !req
486. - Hey, hi.
- Hello.Copy !req
487. Sorry about everything
that happened with Robin.Copy !req
488. Oh, it's okay.Copy !req
489. Sometimes things
have to unfoldCopy !req
490. and you have to learn things
as you go, so...Copy !req
491. Yeah, I've been thinking
a little bitCopy !req
492. - about just like life and—
- Hmm.Copy !req
493. I mean,
I don't have kids myself.Copy !req
494. - Mm-hmm.
- I'm 38 and...Copy !req
495. You know, I think I could be
a good dad maybe, but...Copy !req
496. I'm not sure.Copy !req
497. - Yeah, it's hard to know.
- Yeah.Copy !req
498. And I was thinking,
I don't know, maybe...Copy !req
499. maybe it would be good
for you to—Copy !req
500. to go through this experience
with someone who could benefitCopy !req
501. - from it as well.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
502. Someone like me.Copy !req
503. Obviously, it would just be
about co-parentingCopy !req
504. the child, not—
It wouldn't be romanticCopy !req
505. in any way.Copy !req
506. Yeah, I think
during this processCopy !req
507. I wanted
to have more communicationCopy !req
508. - ahead of—
- With me?Copy !req
509. - Yeah, ahead of time.
- Okay.Copy !req
510. Is that a big yawn?
I know.Copy !req
511. There you go. Good girl.
It's all right.Copy !req
512. Yeah.Copy !req
513. Yeah, so I think
just making sureCopy !req
514. - that we communicate.
- Yeah.Copy !req
515. Making sure everyone's
on the same page.Copy !req
516. I think that's gonna be
a good thing to focus on.Copy !req
517. It's definitely somethingCopy !req
518. that I'm always trying
to work on.Copy !req
519. Cool, thank you.Copy !req
520. I like to pray about things.Copy !req
521. Oh, okay.Copy !req
522. And kind of see if I have
a peace about something.Copy !req
523. Yeah, so I haven't really had
time to do that, so...Copy !req
524. Obviously though,
I don't want...Copy !req
525. I know I'm in a position
of powerCopy !req
526. when I say this to you,Copy !req
527. - so I don't want
that to influence...
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
528. - ... your willingness to decide.
- Oh.Copy !req
529. - I want you to...
- Sure.Copy !req
530. be honest with me
and tell me if you—Copy !req
531. If it's something you don't want
to do, definitely,Copy !req
532. I don't want there to be
the, you know, the bias or...Copy !req
533. - Right.
- Yeah.Copy !req
534. You know, just off the top
of my head, I would say,Copy !req
535. "Sure, let's go with it."Copy !req
536. - Why not?
- Okay. Yeah, okay.Copy !req
537. Why not?Copy !req
538. Cool. This is gonna be fun.Copy !req
539. It will be,
it's gonna be great.Copy !req

and interact with PerryCopy !req
553. in the capacity of father.Copy !req
554. Is that something
I can get you to agree to today?Copy !req
555. Yeah, I believe
that would be amicable.Copy !req
556. It's actually great news
for you 'cause now, there'll beCopy !req

after Charlie instead of one.Copy !req
