1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,967
[narrator] Previously on
Little People, Big World...
2
00:00:03,033 --> 00:00:06,567
[Zach] It's a boy.
It's a boy. It's a boy.
3
00:00:06,634 --> 00:00:08,100
[Zach] Yeah,
Josiah is a little person.
4
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:10,066
Achondroplasia,
like his siblings.
5
00:00:10,133 --> 00:00:12,266
I got my little dwarf tribe.
6
00:00:12,266 --> 00:00:15,166
Are you, uh, doing anything
with pumpkin seeds
in the share?
7
00:00:15,166 --> 00:00:16,467
-No.
-No?
8
00:00:16,467 --> 00:00:18,567
[Zach] Tori and I decided
to make an offer to my dad
9
00:00:18,634 --> 00:00:20,000
for the north side
of the farm.
10
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,367
But things did not go well.
11
00:00:21,367 --> 00:00:23,567
I said to my dad,
"What is it worth
12
00:00:23,567 --> 00:00:25,266
to have your grandkids
on this property?
13
00:00:25,266 --> 00:00:26,967
Do you wanna make
money off your own family?
14
00:00:27,033 --> 00:00:30,967
Or is it like, do you want
this legacy that you've
preached about for ten years?"
15
00:00:30,967 --> 00:00:32,266
We're miles apart,
16
00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:35,567
and it has to do with
taking over
the responsibility.
17
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:38,567
I think what they
wanted was me
to basically give it to them,
18
00:00:38,567 --> 00:00:40,367
you know, at cut-throat price,
19
00:00:40,433 --> 00:00:42,667
and then still have me
do all the work.
20
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:44,867
I'm really kicking
around my plan B.
21
00:00:44,934 --> 00:00:48,567
Are you thinking
about taking it off
the market then?
22
00:00:48,567 --> 00:00:50,266
Maybe.
23
00:00:50,266 --> 00:00:53,266
The north side of the farm
has been on the market
for little over three months.
24
00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:55,166
It, um, hasn't sold yet.
25
00:00:55,233 --> 00:00:59,367
So, plan B
is to do short term rental.
26
00:00:59,433 --> 00:01:02,367
[Amy] You had texted
the kids about
opening this up.
27
00:01:02,433 --> 00:01:04,367
-Have you heard
back from them?
-[Matt] No.
28
00:01:04,367 --> 00:01:05,567
I don't think anybody cared.
29
00:01:05,567 --> 00:01:06,967
I don't blame them.
30
00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:09,867
My dad texted us that he's
renting out the house.
31
00:01:09,867 --> 00:01:11,667
It's kind of ridiculous,
honestly.
32
00:01:11,667 --> 00:01:14,767
-All right, well,
let's hope it works.
-[Matt] Yeah.
33
00:01:14,834 --> 00:01:16,667
Some elements of the family
34
00:01:16,734 --> 00:01:20,166
are never going
to agree with me
35
00:01:20,166 --> 00:01:22,266
on the way that the farm
deal went down.
36
00:01:22,266 --> 00:01:24,967
I just have to accept that
and do the best that I can
37
00:01:25,033 --> 00:01:27,000
to keep everybody together,
38
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,767
um, the best that I can.
39
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,533
[medical device beeping]
40
00:01:47,667 --> 00:01:48,834
[Tori] Where does
it hurt the worst?
41
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:50,567
[Zach speaking]
42
00:01:50,567 --> 00:01:51,567
[Tori] Where on your head?
43
00:01:54,967 --> 00:01:56,467
Do you feel it in
your neck at all?
44
00:01:57,867 --> 00:01:58,967
Do you feel nauseous?
45
00:02:02,967 --> 00:02:04,166
Love you.
46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,567
The last ten years,
Zach has had
really bad migraines.
47
00:02:25,567 --> 00:02:26,967
Almost once a month.
48
00:02:27,033 --> 00:02:30,567
And, they've never
been able to really
pin point what they are.
49
00:02:30,567 --> 00:02:34,667
He would get a headache
and then he would be treated
for the headache, and then,
50
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:36,333
you know, the pain
would subside.
51
00:02:43,967 --> 00:02:47,166
Zach has dealt with these
headaches for way too long.
52
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:49,533
But this time
it escalated
very quickly.
53
00:02:51,867 --> 00:02:53,133
Tori had called me.
54
00:02:53,867 --> 00:02:55,166
And said, um,
55
00:02:55,166 --> 00:02:58,634
Zach... This is emergency.
Zach really wants to go.
56
00:02:59,867 --> 00:03:02,567
You know, I said, okay.
You know, I'll be there.
57
00:03:02,567 --> 00:03:06,266
It was a little nerve wracking
that Zach had to be rushed
to the hospital.
58
00:03:06,266 --> 00:03:08,066
And I tried to make
sure that whatever
59
00:03:08,066 --> 00:03:10,767
information Tori relayed to me
60
00:03:10,834 --> 00:03:13,734
that I would go ahead
and relay to Matt
and all the kids.
61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,033
[medical device beeping]
62
00:03:24,467 --> 00:03:28,066
I was not gonna leave
the hospital without
more answers.
63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,567
This doctor picked up
there was two
breakages in his neck
64
00:03:34,634 --> 00:03:38,834
of the catheter
that drained from the shunt.
65
00:03:47,567 --> 00:03:49,166
Zach has hydrocephalus.
66
00:03:49,166 --> 00:03:51,000
And people with achondroplasia
67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,066
are definitely more
susceptible to having
hydrocephalus.
68
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:57,567
Hydrocephalus causes excess
fluid on your brain.
69
00:03:57,567 --> 00:03:59,567
And if it's not
drained properly,
70
00:03:59,567 --> 00:04:04,333
then it can build up
and the pressure
can cause some major damage.
71
00:04:12,266 --> 00:04:14,667
I've never seen Zach
in that much pain.
72
00:04:14,667 --> 00:04:17,667
He started crying
and saying, "I'm dying".
73
00:04:30,867 --> 00:04:34,166
The most dangerous part
of the surgery to my knowledge
74
00:04:34,166 --> 00:04:38,567
was replacing the catheter
that connects from
the valve into his brain.
75
00:04:38,634 --> 00:04:40,367
You know,
it was definitely scary.
76
00:04:59,266 --> 00:05:00,767
They had to replace
the whole thing.
77
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:02,367
They had to replace the shunt,
78
00:05:02,367 --> 00:05:03,734
like, the valve.
79
00:05:04,467 --> 00:05:06,567
And they had
to replace the catheter.
80
00:05:06,634 --> 00:05:09,667
You risk more by taking
out the old catheter.
81
00:05:09,734 --> 00:05:12,367
Um, like, you risk
scarring and bleeding,
82
00:05:12,367 --> 00:05:13,867
and they don't
want any of that.
83
00:05:13,934 --> 00:05:15,934
So they abandoned
it and just left it there.
84
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,166
[Zach] Gonna walk around.
85
00:05:22,266 --> 00:05:23,667
[Tori] How you feeling?
86
00:05:23,734 --> 00:05:25,433
[Zach] Good. Just wanna
get out of here.
87
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,734
[Tori speaking]
88
00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:34,667
This whole experience
was scary and chaotic.
89
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:37,433
We were lucky my mom
was able to come up,
take care of the kids.
90
00:05:38,767 --> 00:05:41,233
There's definitely
a part of me that wanted
to be there as well.
91
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,166
You know, because,
92
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:45,266
he's my boy, too.
93
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:47,734
Even though he's almost 33,
he's still my son.
94
00:05:48,667 --> 00:05:49,867
Hey, Zach.
95
00:05:49,867 --> 00:05:52,567
But, I've been through
it during the younger years.
96
00:05:52,634 --> 00:05:53,734
Same place as always?
97
00:05:54,367 --> 00:05:55,767
Just in front here?
98
00:05:55,767 --> 00:05:58,066
-[Zach whispers]
Yeah.
-Okay.
99
00:05:58,066 --> 00:05:59,634
And I know it's tough.
100
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,467
I got my shunt in when
I was like, 16 months old.
101
00:06:04,467 --> 00:06:07,867
And, nothing really happened
with it until middle school.
102
00:06:07,934 --> 00:06:09,066
[Matt] How painful is it?
103
00:06:09,066 --> 00:06:10,266
Very.
104
00:06:10,266 --> 00:06:12,166
'Kay. Go back
over to the couch.
105
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,567
-We're gonna take you in.
-Ow.
106
00:06:16,634 --> 00:06:17,667
Where?
107
00:06:17,734 --> 00:06:19,266
Inside the stomach?
108
00:06:19,266 --> 00:06:20,367
Uh-oh.
109
00:06:20,433 --> 00:06:21,600
Let me get this.
110
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,066
[Zach] I just got a really
sick pressure behind my eyes.
111
00:06:24,133 --> 00:06:25,367
Vomiting.
112
00:06:25,367 --> 00:06:26,467
[Matt] Here.
113
00:06:26,467 --> 00:06:28,233
[Zach] I needed a revision.
114
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,567
Oh, Mom.
115
00:06:32,634 --> 00:06:34,967
[Amy] What?
Your head?
116
00:06:34,967 --> 00:06:35,867
[Zach] Headache.
117
00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:38,166
We're talking 16-17 years ago.
118
00:06:38,166 --> 00:06:39,867
I had my first revision.
119
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:42,166
[Matt] Zach, he's still
in the surgery right now.
120
00:06:42,166 --> 00:06:45,266
So the first part was the...
taking the shunt,
121
00:06:45,333 --> 00:06:46,467
the head part out.
122
00:06:46,533 --> 00:06:49,166
And then the other part
is to open up his belly,
123
00:06:49,233 --> 00:06:51,667
and drainin' that fluid out.
124
00:06:51,734 --> 00:06:55,333
The lifespan of a shunt
is two to fifteen years.
125
00:06:56,467 --> 00:06:58,467
Zach had his for 16 years.
126
00:06:58,467 --> 00:07:01,834
So, he was on borrowed time,
no matter which way
you look at it.
127
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,166
I think that we have been
sitting on a knife's edge.
128
00:07:07,166 --> 00:07:08,266
And we just didn't know it.
129
00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:10,567
-Yeah.
This is a scary business.
-Mmm-hmm.
130
00:07:23,567 --> 00:07:25,567
[Amy] Let's go get you
all freshened up.
131
00:07:25,567 --> 00:07:26,734
Come on, let's go.
132
00:07:29,467 --> 00:07:31,066
-Good girl.
-[Daisy whimpers]
133
00:07:31,133 --> 00:07:32,367
[Amy laughs]
134
00:07:33,367 --> 00:07:35,066
She knows.
135
00:07:36,767 --> 00:07:38,767
Just like a kid
who doesn't want a bath.
136
00:07:38,767 --> 00:07:41,166
[in excited voice]
Yes, you do.
137
00:07:41,166 --> 00:07:44,367
[normal voice]
With so much going on,
with Zach's surgery,
138
00:07:44,367 --> 00:07:46,767
it's been a little crazy.
139
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:50,367
I went back and forth
up to Zach and Tori's house,
once or twice.
140
00:07:50,367 --> 00:07:53,367
But then I was there about
three nights and four days,
141
00:07:53,433 --> 00:07:55,166
uh, taking care of the kids.
142
00:07:55,233 --> 00:07:56,467
There we go.
143
00:07:56,533 --> 00:07:58,066
I know. I know.
144
00:07:58,133 --> 00:07:59,867
Now that Zach is back home,
145
00:07:59,867 --> 00:08:02,367
I think Zach and Tori
are able to settle down.
146
00:08:02,367 --> 00:08:03,867
He's recuperating.
147
00:08:03,867 --> 00:08:06,767
So, there's no need for me
to go up there everyday
148
00:08:06,834 --> 00:08:09,166
or spend the night
and stuff like that.
149
00:08:09,166 --> 00:08:11,467
Unless, you know,
Zach and Tori,
call me and say,
150
00:08:11,533 --> 00:08:13,467
"Well, you know,
we kindly need some help".
151
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:17,667
Look at all that dirt
come off of him.
152
00:08:17,734 --> 00:08:19,367
I was definitely exhausted.
153
00:08:19,367 --> 00:08:21,567
Chris held down the fort
here at the house.
154
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:24,367
And you know,
taking care of Daisy.
155
00:08:24,367 --> 00:08:26,367
-Babe, you're in the way.
-[laughing]
156
00:08:26,367 --> 00:08:27,867
So, now that I'm back,
157
00:08:27,867 --> 00:08:28,934
here we are.
158
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,000
We became tight.
159
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,166
-But, she's not much
of a conversationalist.
-[Amy laughs]
160
00:08:34,166 --> 00:08:37,867
You know, it was kind of
boring at night,
not having anyone to talk to.
161
00:08:37,867 --> 00:08:39,367
[Amy] It was an
emergency for Zach.
162
00:08:39,433 --> 00:08:42,033
I... I had to go there
two o'clock in the morning.
163
00:08:42,867 --> 00:08:44,734
You know, man, it was quick.
164
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,133
I felt for him.
165
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,233
You know, I mean...
166
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:54,667
It's more than just
a headache for him.
167
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:57,266
It's a different
kind of pain
and just everything.
168
00:08:59,367 --> 00:09:03,266
So is that something that he's
gonna always have to go
through every 10 or 15 years?
169
00:09:03,333 --> 00:09:04,166
And have it replaced?
170
00:09:04,166 --> 00:09:05,967
Well, I think he
probably will have
171
00:09:05,967 --> 00:09:08,667
-to go through
with this again.
-Mmm.
172
00:09:08,667 --> 00:09:11,634
So, I just hope he
has, you know,
peace about it and,
173
00:09:12,567 --> 00:09:13,867
um...
174
00:09:13,867 --> 00:09:16,467
doesn't become,
you know, too oversensitive.
175
00:09:16,467 --> 00:09:18,266
'Cause you just don't
wanna go there again.
176
00:09:18,266 --> 00:09:19,266
You don't wanna
have those headaches.
177
00:09:19,333 --> 00:09:20,667
You don't wanna
be in that pain.
178
00:09:22,166 --> 00:09:23,367
You know, as an adult,
179
00:09:23,367 --> 00:09:24,767
you're thinking
about well,
180
00:09:24,834 --> 00:09:26,066
if anything happens to me,
181
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:28,567
then what will happen
with Tori and the kids
or anything.
182
00:09:28,567 --> 00:09:31,567
But, you know,
you just don't
183
00:09:31,567 --> 00:09:34,467
get your mind into
that space because,
184
00:09:34,467 --> 00:09:37,467
you just gotta hope
that everything goes okay,
185
00:09:37,533 --> 00:09:39,166
and if all went well,
186
00:09:39,233 --> 00:09:42,367
he won't be back in there
for another revision.
187
00:09:42,433 --> 00:09:44,867
Whether it be a week,
two weeks, two months.
188
00:09:44,934 --> 00:09:46,967
Hopefully, it'll be years.
189
00:09:47,033 --> 00:09:51,266
To tell the truth, I'm just
really glad, I can help out.
190
00:09:51,266 --> 00:09:53,367
-You know when the kids
need stuff like that.
-Mmm.
191
00:09:53,367 --> 00:09:54,667
And, does it make
you feel good,
192
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:56,767
that you're their go to when
they need somebody
193
00:09:56,834 --> 00:09:58,567
-to run out
and spend the night?
-Yeah.
194
00:09:58,567 --> 00:10:00,266
I'm the mom.
195
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:02,367
Yeah. I was just glad
that, you know,
196
00:10:02,367 --> 00:10:03,867
they were able to call me.
197
00:10:03,867 --> 00:10:07,367
I just think, you know,
I was readily available and,
198
00:10:07,367 --> 00:10:09,266
I've been there,
done that,
I can handle it.
199
00:10:09,266 --> 00:10:11,767
But, you know,
I think Matt helped out,
200
00:10:11,767 --> 00:10:14,967
as much as he
was capable of doing.
201
00:10:14,967 --> 00:10:17,767
With Matt and Zach,
in any fractured relationship,
202
00:10:17,767 --> 00:10:20,266
is always for it to heal
and get better
203
00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:22,100
and be able to move forward.
204
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:25,166
And, um, you know,
with Zach being
in the hospital,
205
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,667
it's when, you know, families,
206
00:10:27,667 --> 00:10:30,166
you know, should,
regardless of what's going on,
207
00:10:30,166 --> 00:10:31,767
should rally together.
208
00:10:31,767 --> 00:10:33,367
We missed you.
209
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,467
Oh, I especially missed
you at dinner time.
210
00:10:35,467 --> 00:10:36,667
I did very little cooking.
211
00:10:36,734 --> 00:10:38,867
My cooking just doesn't
taste as good as it used to.
212
00:10:38,867 --> 00:10:41,166
-You broke me.
-Hey. Oh, no.
That's a good thing.
213
00:10:41,233 --> 00:10:42,233
That's a good thing.
214
00:10:42,233 --> 00:10:45,367
-That way you always
have to keep me.
-[chuckles]
215
00:10:45,367 --> 00:10:47,367
Thankful I'm not
a bachelor anymore.
216
00:10:47,367 --> 00:10:48,967
Aw.
217
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:51,767
Well, things are going
great with Chris and I,
218
00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:55,000
but, in a lot of ways,
I don't think we're
quite settled yet.
219
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,367
I mean, we absolutely
love this house.
220
00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:58,367
We're enjoying it,
221
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:01,266
but, it's not quite
our forever home.
222
00:11:01,266 --> 00:11:03,367
Well, there are a lot
of things that we
liked about the house.
223
00:11:03,367 --> 00:11:05,266
But, we knew
in the very beginning,
224
00:11:05,333 --> 00:11:07,066
it didn't check
all the boxes.
225
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:11,367
Ideally, three car garage,
or room for shop, and,
226
00:11:11,367 --> 00:11:13,767
for me, and then ideally,
227
00:11:13,767 --> 00:11:17,266
Amy would like a master
bedroom on the main level.
228
00:11:17,266 --> 00:11:20,433
So, not our forever home,
but, so we're watching.
229
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:25,166
Seems like the house
is getting rented a lot.
230
00:11:25,233 --> 00:11:26,867
When we went to take her over,
231
00:11:26,867 --> 00:11:28,967
Matt let us know to go
through the back gate.
232
00:11:28,967 --> 00:11:31,266
-[Amy] Yeah?
-'Cause there was somebody
standing at the house.
233
00:11:31,266 --> 00:11:35,100
-Curious how that's going.
-I don't know.
234
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,967
I never pictured the house
that I raised my kids
in for the last 30 years
235
00:11:39,033 --> 00:11:41,133
to be a short term rental.
It's... It's...
236
00:11:42,567 --> 00:11:45,767
It's too big of a place,
it's too... There should be...
237
00:11:47,066 --> 00:11:48,734
a family or someone in it.
238
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:52,066
But, if it's going
great, great.
239
00:11:52,133 --> 00:11:54,467
You know, I mean,
Matt owns it all.
240
00:11:54,467 --> 00:11:56,667
It's not like I
wish him ill will.
241
00:11:56,734 --> 00:11:57,667
It makes sense,
242
00:11:57,734 --> 00:11:59,667
you know, for Matt to do it.
243
00:11:59,734 --> 00:12:01,467
I mean, [stutters].
244
00:12:01,533 --> 00:12:04,266
From a business
perspective, or anything,
it definitely makes sense.
245
00:12:04,266 --> 00:12:06,066
From a personal perspective,
246
00:12:06,133 --> 00:12:07,967
I just see it as very sad.
247
00:12:09,266 --> 00:12:10,867
I don't ask him
about those things.
248
00:12:10,867 --> 00:12:13,367
-I know.
-You can do that, not me.
249
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,266
[narrator reading]
250
00:12:18,333 --> 00:12:19,367
[Tori] Babe,
it was scary though.
251
00:12:19,367 --> 00:12:21,367
Like, you scared me.
252
00:12:21,433 --> 00:12:24,667
[Zach] I do have
something in my body
that my body depends on.
253
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:26,166
You know,
I could die without it.
254
00:12:26,166 --> 00:12:27,467
We're not out
of the woods yet.
255
00:12:27,533 --> 00:12:30,867
You know, things aren't
good if it breaks.
256
00:12:30,934 --> 00:12:32,734
So it is like, you do
feel a little fragile.
257
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:36,467
[narrator reading]
258
00:12:36,467 --> 00:12:39,000
Should I tell her? No?
259
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,133
Oh, yeah. Tell her.
260
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,634
We're all but
decided on that...
261
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,967
when I die...
262
00:12:48,266 --> 00:12:50,133
You... you... What? Like...
263
00:13:05,767 --> 00:13:07,767
[Zach]
Every now and then,
I like, my head, like,
264
00:13:07,834 --> 00:13:09,667
feels like, it's just,
like, all...
265
00:13:09,667 --> 00:13:10,867
it's like...
266
00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:12,967
-[Tori] Expanded?
-Yeah, it wants
to expand, or--
267
00:13:13,033 --> 00:13:14,100
Lilah.
268
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:15,767
Does Daddy got a booboo?
269
00:13:15,767 --> 00:13:17,266
-[Lilah speaking]
-Where's Dadda's booboo?
270
00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:20,266
[Tori laughs]
271
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:21,634
Are you gonna
take care of Dadda?
272
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,266
Wait. Here, let me
see behind your ear.
273
00:13:24,333 --> 00:13:25,767
I wanna see if you
have stitches.
274
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:28,767
[Zach] I'm at home
recovering from my surgery
275
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:30,767
and trying to get
as much rest as possible.
276
00:13:30,767 --> 00:13:31,767
Pain's been all right.
277
00:13:31,767 --> 00:13:33,467
It hasn't been bad at all.
278
00:13:33,467 --> 00:13:35,567
I think it's just
the aching of a surgery.
279
00:13:35,567 --> 00:13:37,367
I was cut open.
280
00:13:37,367 --> 00:13:40,934
This more feels like,
the head is physically,
actually just aching.
281
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,533
Like, bones
and muscle are aching.
282
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,000
[Tori] Oh, yes. See,
there is a like, a gnarly...
283
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,066
[Zach] A gnarly what?
284
00:13:49,066 --> 00:13:50,066
-Bump.
-Bump?
285
00:13:50,066 --> 00:13:51,767
Tori's had a lot on her plate.
286
00:13:51,767 --> 00:13:54,000
Uh, she's taken care
of me and the kids.
287
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,367
It kind of looks like,
they cut the front and like...
288
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:58,367
[Zach] Well, they had
to cut the front
to take the old one out.
289
00:13:58,367 --> 00:13:59,767
Holy smokes.
290
00:13:59,767 --> 00:14:02,567
[Zach] The doctor
closed the surgery
spot up with staples.
291
00:14:02,567 --> 00:14:05,367
So I'll have to get
those staples taken
out on a later date.
292
00:14:05,433 --> 00:14:07,467
They have a device
that apparently
pulls them out,
293
00:14:07,533 --> 00:14:09,467
like snaps them,
and then pulls them out.
294
00:14:09,533 --> 00:14:12,734
Sounds just irritating
and hurtful.
295
00:14:13,867 --> 00:14:15,867
So, I have to be a big boy.
296
00:14:15,934 --> 00:14:18,567
Breathe super hard
and grab on to my chair.
297
00:14:18,634 --> 00:14:20,066
[Tori] Babe,
it was scary though.
298
00:14:20,133 --> 00:14:21,567
Like you scared me.
299
00:14:21,567 --> 00:14:23,967
[Zach] I scared myself.
I was scared.
300
00:14:23,967 --> 00:14:26,967
You sobbed, screamed,
like, it was just like...
301
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:28,100
I didn't scream.
302
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:29,667
[Tori] You did, though.
303
00:14:29,667 --> 00:14:32,367
Like, that's the thing is,
I feel like, maybe you
don't remember all of it.
304
00:14:32,367 --> 00:14:34,767
And your heart rate
dropped to 34.
305
00:14:34,767 --> 00:14:36,667
They called in cardiology.
306
00:14:36,734 --> 00:14:39,266
I think that's what finally
gave them a box though,
307
00:14:39,266 --> 00:14:42,166
that they can say,
"All right. Now he
skips the line".
308
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:45,367
Babe, it's literally
the most triggering...
309
00:14:45,367 --> 00:14:48,567
That was the most
terrifying experience
I've ever been in.
310
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:51,066
But now, moving forward,
311
00:14:51,133 --> 00:14:52,367
in six months, when
you get a headache,
312
00:14:52,367 --> 00:14:54,467
-and it feels
like there's pressure...
-Yeah.
313
00:14:54,467 --> 00:14:55,967
...you have to say something.
314
00:14:56,033 --> 00:14:57,467
-I just didn't wanna
be over dramatic.
-No, but that's the thing,
315
00:14:57,467 --> 00:15:01,166
is I think that now
I have enough in my
back pocket to be
316
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:03,066
a lot louder
of an advocate.
317
00:15:03,066 --> 00:15:05,166
[Zach] It's very important
to always have
an advocate with you,
318
00:15:05,166 --> 00:15:07,166
because, one,
this has happened before.
319
00:15:07,233 --> 00:15:09,567
-I'm in pain and I'm
getting pain medicine.
-You don't hear at all.
320
00:15:09,634 --> 00:15:10,967
So I don't hear everything.
321
00:15:10,967 --> 00:15:14,166
Like, I'm not focused on that.
I'm focused on like,
relieving my pain.
322
00:15:14,166 --> 00:15:15,867
But now,
323
00:15:15,867 --> 00:15:17,367
we have a neuro surgeon.
324
00:15:17,367 --> 00:15:18,667
-Yeah.
-And if you get a headache,
325
00:15:18,734 --> 00:15:20,767
I'm gonna be like,
call your doctor.
326
00:15:20,834 --> 00:15:24,467
[Zach] I wasn't really
super aware that my
shunt had expired.
327
00:15:24,467 --> 00:15:27,867
I do have something
in my body that my
body depends on.
328
00:15:27,867 --> 00:15:29,433
You know, I could
die without it.
329
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:33,967
Um, so it is like,
kind of, nerve wracking.
330
00:15:34,033 --> 00:15:37,100
It was sad that maybe
the placement of the tube
331
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:40,867
into my ventricle
wasn't A plus.
332
00:15:40,867 --> 00:15:42,467
You know, but there's
so much scarring,
333
00:15:42,467 --> 00:15:44,467
that they didn't
wanna jam it in there.
334
00:15:44,467 --> 00:15:47,066
But then and now that,
I'm like, okay, well then...
335
00:15:47,066 --> 00:15:49,634
anything that happens from
here on now, it's because
that thing's popped out.
336
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,367
So it's like, we're not
out of the woods yet.
337
00:15:52,367 --> 00:15:54,066
You know, things
aren't good if...
338
00:15:54,767 --> 00:15:56,066
it breaks.
339
00:15:56,066 --> 00:15:58,033
So it is like, you do
feel a little fragile.
340
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:01,166
Want this zipped up?
341
00:16:01,233 --> 00:16:02,567
[Lilah speaks indistinctly]
342
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:03,667
[Zach] And I got kids.
343
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,734
[Zach speaking]
344
00:16:09,567 --> 00:16:11,934
You know, they wanna have
their daddy for a while and...
345
00:16:14,967 --> 00:16:16,266
Where do you wanna walk?
346
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:18,467
[Lilah speaking]
347
00:16:18,533 --> 00:16:21,667
[Zach] Having surgery
when you're a husband,
and father, and you got kids,
348
00:16:21,734 --> 00:16:23,266
it's, um...
349
00:16:23,266 --> 00:16:25,166
yeah, definitely
adds more to it.
350
00:16:25,166 --> 00:16:26,767
You know, it's hard.
351
00:16:26,767 --> 00:16:28,567
Watch out for the mud.
352
00:16:28,634 --> 00:16:30,367
I don't know. For me,
dads should not
353
00:16:30,367 --> 00:16:33,667
create this much
inconvenience
for their family.
354
00:16:33,734 --> 00:16:36,767
And there's just stuff to do.
The kids have places to be.
355
00:16:36,767 --> 00:16:38,634
Things need to be
taken care of, and...
356
00:16:39,266 --> 00:16:40,467
Um...
357
00:16:40,533 --> 00:16:42,066
This is not the season of life
358
00:16:42,133 --> 00:16:45,166
for Dad to not
be able to operate.
359
00:16:45,166 --> 00:16:47,867
[Tori] If you hurry up,
we can go outside, too.
360
00:16:47,867 --> 00:16:49,867
I think it's important
for Zach to learn
361
00:16:49,934 --> 00:16:50,967
the signals of his body,
362
00:16:50,967 --> 00:16:53,767
and to know when
something is wrong.
363
00:16:53,767 --> 00:16:55,266
Uh, not just for himself,
364
00:16:55,266 --> 00:16:57,567
but also, because he
has four people
365
00:16:57,567 --> 00:17:00,166
that are really
dependent on him.
366
00:17:00,233 --> 00:17:02,867
-[baby cooing]
-[Tori] Yes.
367
00:17:02,867 --> 00:17:05,467
There's a lot more to think
about when you
have kids at home,
368
00:17:05,467 --> 00:17:09,166
and a spouse,
and you know,
it's not just you.
369
00:17:11,867 --> 00:17:13,000
[Zach] Oh, my goodness.
370
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,867
I leave for one
week and then...
371
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:17,166
They're all using the same
box for some reason.
372
00:17:17,166 --> 00:17:18,667
So, Lilah, let's do this.
373
00:17:18,667 --> 00:17:20,667
We're gonna put an egg
in each one of these.
374
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,266
Okay?
375
00:17:24,266 --> 00:17:26,166
We're gonna see
if that helps them.
376
00:17:26,233 --> 00:17:28,467
Tori supported me a ton
this week in the hospital,
377
00:17:28,467 --> 00:17:30,367
just taking care of the kids.
378
00:17:30,367 --> 00:17:32,767
You know, going back
and forth from the hospital.
379
00:17:32,834 --> 00:17:35,767
Because it was a very nerve
wracking thing for her.
380
00:17:35,767 --> 00:17:39,166
But, you know, she's able
to put all that aside
381
00:17:39,233 --> 00:17:41,266
and you know, do what
she needed to do.
382
00:17:41,266 --> 00:17:42,467
Dada.
383
00:17:42,467 --> 00:17:44,767
[Lilah indistinct]
384
00:17:44,834 --> 00:17:46,567
-You're gonna go that way?
-Yeah.
385
00:17:46,634 --> 00:17:49,667
It's very important
for me to stay updated
with my doctors,
386
00:17:49,667 --> 00:17:52,166
just so I can stay as healthy
as possible moving forward.
387
00:17:52,166 --> 00:17:54,967
And one day, there could
be more difficult outcomes.
388
00:17:55,033 --> 00:17:57,100
Wouldn't be ideal, obviously.
389
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,166
But, I think our
family's pretty tight.
390
00:17:59,233 --> 00:18:00,867
I think we have a pretty
good support system.
391
00:18:00,867 --> 00:18:02,767
And that we would
get through it.
392
00:18:04,567 --> 00:18:05,867
[narrator] Coming up next...
393
00:18:05,867 --> 00:18:07,767
You like to think, when you
do the short-term rentals,
394
00:18:07,767 --> 00:18:09,867
-that you just can have...
Cute little...
-Cute little family.
395
00:18:09,934 --> 00:18:12,367
You can't come over here
and create a porno video.
396
00:18:12,433 --> 00:18:15,000
Going there
with a purple light.
397
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,266
-[exclaims]
-I'm not going,
no purple light.
398
00:18:17,266 --> 00:18:18,367
Ugh.
399
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,533
[Caryn] Whoo!
400
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,667
-You cold?
-Oh, yeah.
401
00:18:32,667 --> 00:18:33,767
[Caryn] Oh, yeah.
402
00:18:33,834 --> 00:18:34,834
[Caryn groans]
403
00:18:36,066 --> 00:18:37,834
Oh, my God.
404
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,467
[Matt] Yeah, just...
405
00:18:40,467 --> 00:18:42,266
[Matt] Give me enough
to kind of peek at it.
406
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,166
I mean, it's been really
busy on the farm.
407
00:18:45,233 --> 00:18:46,700
And Caryn's been in Arizona.
408
00:18:46,767 --> 00:18:50,433
So, I wanna make sure
to catch up with what's
been going on around the farm.
409
00:18:51,467 --> 00:18:53,367
This is where
the pool's unusable.
410
00:18:53,367 --> 00:18:54,867
See there? The chip?
411
00:18:54,934 --> 00:18:56,867
-[Caryn] Oh, my God.
-Yeah.
412
00:18:56,934 --> 00:18:58,066
I mean, here's the thing.
413
00:18:58,133 --> 00:18:59,367
The pool has to be repaired,
414
00:18:59,367 --> 00:19:01,467
whether you continue
the short-term rental,
415
00:19:01,467 --> 00:19:03,166
long-term
or you're selling it.
416
00:19:03,166 --> 00:19:05,166
[Matt] I looked
at the north farm,
417
00:19:05,166 --> 00:19:07,266
we call it the big
house up for sale.
418
00:19:07,333 --> 00:19:09,000
And, since nobody bid on it,
419
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,567
we decided to turn it into
a short-term rental.
420
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:14,166
The short-term rental
concept has been
very, very good.
421
00:19:14,166 --> 00:19:15,867
We're booked almost solid.
422
00:19:15,867 --> 00:19:18,767
I would say my ultimate
goal would be to still
sell the north side.
423
00:19:18,834 --> 00:19:21,367
But, I'm gonna do
this short-term rental,
424
00:19:21,433 --> 00:19:24,867
um, now while the economy
is sort of in question.
425
00:19:24,934 --> 00:19:27,066
You like to think when you do
to these short-term rental,
426
00:19:27,133 --> 00:19:28,867
that you're just
gonna have these...
427
00:19:28,934 --> 00:19:31,100
-Cute little family. Grandma.
-...cute little family.
428
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:32,767
Yeah, grandma and the kid.
429
00:19:32,767 --> 00:19:34,367
Like a Roloff-free evening.
430
00:19:34,433 --> 00:19:36,767
-[chuckles]
-We had that, once.
431
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:38,867
But of the 20 or 30
that we've done so far,
432
00:19:38,867 --> 00:19:41,266
every scenario
is different.
433
00:19:41,266 --> 00:19:43,967
One group will come in there
and it'll be wonderful.
434
00:19:44,033 --> 00:19:46,367
But then there's other times
when people try to clean
435
00:19:46,367 --> 00:19:49,266
the wine glasses down
the garbage disposal.
436
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:51,767
-Oh.
-We had shards of glass
down the garbage disposal.
437
00:19:51,834 --> 00:19:53,367
Well, so that was interesting.
438
00:19:53,367 --> 00:19:56,000
Oh, we didn't tell
them about the pool
cue in the wall.
439
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,066
-Yeah, there was
a pool cue in the wall.
-[laughing]
440
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:02,367
We are tightening down
the rules of what
people can do.
441
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:03,867
You know, you can't come
over here and create
442
00:20:03,867 --> 00:20:05,867
a porno video
or something, you know.
443
00:20:05,867 --> 00:20:06,967
[scoffs] Jeez.
444
00:20:06,967 --> 00:20:10,166
I mean, that's what
it's coming to.
445
00:20:10,233 --> 00:20:12,066
-I mean, how would you know?
-Well, we wouldn't. That's...
446
00:20:12,133 --> 00:20:13,467
But it will show up on...
447
00:20:13,467 --> 00:20:16,266
Somebody would say,
isn't that the Roloff's
living room? [laughing]
448
00:20:16,266 --> 00:20:18,166
Oh, my God.
449
00:20:18,166 --> 00:20:19,667
People were filming.
450
00:20:19,667 --> 00:20:22,967
And we didn't know if
they were filming, like,
dirty, obscene stuff.
451
00:20:22,967 --> 00:20:26,567
-You know.
-Going there with
the purple light. [laughs]
452
00:20:26,634 --> 00:20:29,667
-I'm not going,
no purple light.
-[screams]
453
00:20:29,667 --> 00:20:30,867
Ugh.
454
00:20:32,367 --> 00:20:34,967
[Caryn] So any news
how Zach is feeling?
455
00:20:35,033 --> 00:20:39,266
Yeah, well, you know,
Zach had that major...
you know, scare.
456
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:41,967
When Tori called me,
we were in Arizona.
457
00:20:41,967 --> 00:20:43,367
When this all went down,
458
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:45,266
and of course,
you know, talked to Amy,
459
00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:46,367
everyday about it.
460
00:20:46,367 --> 00:20:48,667
And, you know,
he was having some
severe headaches,
461
00:20:48,734 --> 00:20:50,467
as I understood it from Tori.
462
00:20:50,467 --> 00:20:54,467
And, those headaches
were related
somehow to the shunt.
463
00:20:54,467 --> 00:20:57,667
-Gosh. Four years ago, you
said, "Oh, it's the shunt".
-Yeah.
464
00:20:58,867 --> 00:21:02,066
I just feel a super
big sense of relief
465
00:21:02,133 --> 00:21:04,166
that they came up
with something definitive.
466
00:21:04,233 --> 00:21:06,066
Yeah, he'd been struggling
for a long time.
467
00:21:06,066 --> 00:21:08,266
[Matt] You know, because
he was struggling for a long
time and the unknown.
468
00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:13,567
And finally, they're
just like, it's what everybody
kind of, thought it was.
469
00:21:13,634 --> 00:21:16,667
If you have a shunt
that's draining fluid
off your head,
470
00:21:16,667 --> 00:21:19,467
and, it gets
clogged or broken,
471
00:21:19,533 --> 00:21:21,166
it's building up pressure
on your head.
472
00:21:21,233 --> 00:21:23,266
So, yes, it could
cause anything from,
473
00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:26,467
you know, brain damage
to other neurological
problems,
474
00:21:26,533 --> 00:21:29,467
which I'm not aware.
I'm not a doctor. I don't
know, but it's just not good.
475
00:21:30,367 --> 00:21:34,066
With Zach being a husband
and having three kids now
476
00:21:34,066 --> 00:21:37,367
nobody wants him
to have problems
with the shunt,
477
00:21:37,367 --> 00:21:39,567
and medical problems at all.
478
00:21:39,567 --> 00:21:41,066
Sounds like Amy stepped up.
479
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,567
I talked to her. You know,
I said, you want
me to come back?
480
00:21:43,567 --> 00:21:47,166
-She thought the consistency
was good for the kids.
-Sure.
481
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:49,000
You know, having one...
482
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,567
Having her do it.
483
00:21:50,634 --> 00:21:54,567
So she was, you know,
Johnny-on-the-spot
about that, from what I heard.
484
00:21:54,567 --> 00:21:56,100
The good news is
485
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,266
that from the last
time I talked to him,
486
00:21:58,266 --> 00:22:01,266
he's feeling like,
it definitely is a lot better.
487
00:22:01,333 --> 00:22:03,367
They've got the fluid out,
the pressure off.
488
00:22:03,367 --> 00:22:06,367
He was telling me that his
eyes move better now.
489
00:22:06,433 --> 00:22:09,233
Like, he didn't realize how
much pressure was in his head.
490
00:22:10,767 --> 00:22:14,967
Zach's big surgery, you know,
it really reminds you
491
00:22:14,967 --> 00:22:16,867
how important life is.
492
00:22:16,934 --> 00:22:20,266
And, how you know
quickly things can
change and turn and,
493
00:22:20,266 --> 00:22:22,767
you really have
to appreciate
all the moments
494
00:22:22,834 --> 00:22:24,100
you have with
your family and
495
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,567
your loved ones
and people around you.
496
00:22:26,567 --> 00:22:29,867
It's, um...
Life is so fragile.
497
00:22:29,867 --> 00:22:32,066
Certainly when
Zach had a surgery,
498
00:22:32,066 --> 00:22:34,367
you know, those thoughts
cross your mind.
499
00:22:34,433 --> 00:22:38,433
My impression now
with Zach and Tori is they...
500
00:22:39,467 --> 00:22:41,767
want space, you know.
They don't really,
501
00:22:41,834 --> 00:22:43,367
you know, like,
I go up there,
502
00:22:43,367 --> 00:22:45,166
you know, for birthdays,
503
00:22:45,233 --> 00:22:48,066
sometimes I'm just on my
way to the airport,
I'll call them and stop in.
504
00:22:48,133 --> 00:22:51,467
But, um, they don't
come to the farm.
505
00:22:51,533 --> 00:22:53,467
So, I think they just
want space still.
506
00:22:53,467 --> 00:22:55,166
So, I'm making sure
507
00:22:55,233 --> 00:22:57,567
I completely give 'em
the space that they need,
508
00:22:57,634 --> 00:22:59,367
without crowding them.
509
00:22:59,433 --> 00:23:00,667
There was something going on.
510
00:23:00,667 --> 00:23:03,367
Well, he's apparently
doing good.
511
00:23:03,367 --> 00:23:05,767
I'm kind of giving him
space to heal now.
512
00:23:05,767 --> 00:23:08,066
You know, even though
there's still some
hurt feelings,
513
00:23:08,133 --> 00:23:09,467
and some
misunderstandings,
I think,
514
00:23:09,567 --> 00:23:13,066
this family, pulls together
when it's important
and when it matters.
515
00:23:13,967 --> 00:23:15,467
Everybody rallied around.
516
00:23:15,467 --> 00:23:17,100
Zach held them up in prayers,
517
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:19,367
and everybody
was very concerned
518
00:23:19,367 --> 00:23:21,667
about what he was
going through, and, um...
519
00:23:21,734 --> 00:23:23,066
We're just glad
he's all right.
520
00:23:24,567 --> 00:23:26,867
[Matt] I wanna show you
what they're doing
with the new house.
521
00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:36,467
-[Caryn] Oh, my goodness.
Look at that.
-Yeah.
522
00:23:37,767 --> 00:23:38,867
After a long wait,
523
00:23:38,867 --> 00:23:41,667
I've finally started
building my final home.
524
00:23:41,734 --> 00:23:45,567
When I moved into the DW
on the south side of the farm,
525
00:23:45,634 --> 00:23:47,767
which is almost ten years ago.
526
00:23:47,767 --> 00:23:50,166
I never in my wildest dreams
527
00:23:50,233 --> 00:23:52,767
expected to be
there that long.
528
00:23:52,767 --> 00:23:56,967
I mean, it's definitely
not been an ideal
living situation.
529
00:23:56,967 --> 00:23:59,367
So, it's very exciting
530
00:23:59,367 --> 00:24:02,266
that I'm finally
able to get going on
531
00:24:02,266 --> 00:24:06,066
building something that,
you know, is gonna be
completely accessible for me.
532
00:24:06,066 --> 00:24:08,467
Everyday something new
is happening and being added.
533
00:24:08,533 --> 00:24:11,166
So, I can't wait to show
Caryn the progress.
534
00:24:11,166 --> 00:24:13,166
[Caryn]
You weren't kidding.
It's happening?
535
00:24:13,166 --> 00:24:15,166
[Matt] Yeah,
it's happening all right.
536
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:18,867
-[Caryn] Oh, my gosh.
-[laughs]
537
00:24:18,934 --> 00:24:21,000
[Caryn] You know,
we're living
together full time.
538
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,667
So, having a place
that we will live together,
539
00:24:23,734 --> 00:24:25,967
here, and then also
live together in Arizona,
540
00:24:25,967 --> 00:24:28,066
-that's big.
-Yeah.
541
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:30,166
-I love the shape of it.
-I do, too.
542
00:24:30,233 --> 00:24:32,367
It's still hard to visualize.
543
00:24:32,367 --> 00:24:36,367
I mean, you could probably
walk through and know
where the rooms are.
544
00:24:36,367 --> 00:24:38,567
[Matt] But the biggest
thing we're doing
with this plan
545
00:24:38,567 --> 00:24:40,467
and the reason why
this is so elaborate
546
00:24:40,467 --> 00:24:43,367
-is cause there's gonna
be zero steps.
-Right.
547
00:24:43,433 --> 00:24:45,166
Building your own home
548
00:24:45,166 --> 00:24:47,367
for your comfort
and your retirement,
549
00:24:47,367 --> 00:24:50,967
that's going to offer him
a very comfortable
550
00:24:51,033 --> 00:24:53,066
landing spot as he ages.
551
00:24:53,066 --> 00:24:56,467
We don't plan to change
our formula of going
down to Arizona,
552
00:24:56,467 --> 00:24:57,467
and back and forth.
553
00:24:57,467 --> 00:24:58,567
We just think
when we come back,
554
00:24:58,567 --> 00:25:01,367
we're gonna have a much
more comfortable place.
555
00:25:01,367 --> 00:25:03,266
[Caryn] You had this
in your mind for so long.
556
00:25:03,266 --> 00:25:05,000
Aren't you just like,
so excited right now?
557
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,266
Yeah, I'm very...
It's very... Yeah,
well, good.
558
00:25:07,266 --> 00:25:10,066
Thank you. I'm happy for us.
559
00:25:10,066 --> 00:25:12,367
We're definitely thinking
of the new house as being
560
00:25:12,367 --> 00:25:13,967
a fun place all
the way around,
561
00:25:14,033 --> 00:25:18,266
whether it be our friends
or the grandkids
or her kids or my kids.
562
00:25:18,266 --> 00:25:20,567
I mean, we're
definitely looking at it
563
00:25:20,567 --> 00:25:23,967
as being a fun
place to hang out.
564
00:25:24,033 --> 00:25:26,567
I haven't seen Zach
and Tori down here,
565
00:25:26,567 --> 00:25:29,066
uh, in quite a few months.
566
00:25:29,133 --> 00:25:32,266
But, I am not
in a space where I am...
567
00:25:32,266 --> 00:25:35,533
I hang my happiness
on what the kids...
568
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:39,367
accept or don't accept
about what we're doing here.
569
00:25:39,367 --> 00:25:41,166
I do hang my hat on the fact
570
00:25:41,166 --> 00:25:44,467
that all the kids have
gone off and got
their own lives going.
571
00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:47,100
That's the independence
that I'm very happy about.
572
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,000
They may all wish things
happened in a different way,
573
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,767
but deep down in my soul,
574
00:25:51,834 --> 00:25:55,100
I feel very good about
the way things are.
575
00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:57,867
You know, whatever happens,
the farm is beautiful.
576
00:25:57,867 --> 00:26:00,233
The farm deserves
a home like this for you.
577
00:26:01,467 --> 00:26:03,266
We're happy.
We're ploughing forward.
578
00:26:03,266 --> 00:26:06,266
We're gonna make
this house amazing for Matt.
579
00:26:06,266 --> 00:26:08,667
And what's that saying?
If you build it,
they will come.
580
00:26:08,667 --> 00:26:11,367
And whoever comes,
we're gonna welcome
everyone with open arms.
581
00:26:11,367 --> 00:26:13,767
And whoever doesn't
wanna come, that's okay, too.
582
00:26:13,767 --> 00:26:16,667
What does that guy
say about, building houses
causes divorces?
583
00:26:16,734 --> 00:26:18,567
-What was that concept?
-We don't have
to worry about that.
584
00:26:18,567 --> 00:26:20,967
-Yeah. We don't have
to worry about that.
-We're not married.
585
00:26:20,967 --> 00:26:23,567
Let's make a commitment
we don't get married till
after the house is finished.
586
00:26:23,634 --> 00:26:26,166
So we don't
have to go... [laughs]
587
00:26:26,166 --> 00:26:28,467
The truth is, we've
talked about it, a lot.
588
00:26:28,467 --> 00:26:31,266
We may get married,
we may not.
589
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:32,667
We're gonna wait and see.
590
00:26:32,667 --> 00:26:35,000
I mean, tomorrow
I could wake up and,
591
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,867
he could propose
and I'd say yes.
592
00:26:36,867 --> 00:26:39,266
Or we could go the next ten
years and never get married.
593
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:41,166
We don't know.
[whispers]
It's a surprise.
594
00:26:42,266 --> 00:26:43,867
[Matt] And you know
what the biggest thing
about this is?
595
00:26:43,867 --> 00:26:45,567
For the next eight months,
596
00:26:45,567 --> 00:26:46,767
as long as this is gonna take,
597
00:26:46,767 --> 00:26:48,100
it's gonna keep
me out of your hair.
598
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:50,567
Ha! I like you in my hair.
599
00:26:50,567 --> 00:26:51,767
[Matt] I'm very, very happy,
600
00:26:51,834 --> 00:26:53,867
'cause it feels like,
a sense of settle.
601
00:26:53,867 --> 00:26:55,467
Like, I'm on a beautiful
piece of property,
602
00:26:55,467 --> 00:26:58,066
with a beautiful home,
and with a beautiful woman,
603
00:26:58,066 --> 00:27:00,066
-and I'm settled.
-Aw.
604
00:27:00,066 --> 00:27:02,367
I think the house
represents for me,
605
00:27:02,367 --> 00:27:04,967
watching Matt be able to
606
00:27:04,967 --> 00:27:06,967
enjoy all of the years
607
00:27:06,967 --> 00:27:09,266
that he worked
so hard on the farm.
608
00:27:09,266 --> 00:27:13,967
Really put his heart,
sweat, tears, and soul
into this farm.
609
00:27:13,967 --> 00:27:15,467
I wanna watch 'em
pour the concrete.
610
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,066
-'Cause that's kind of...
-Oh, yeah.
That's gonna be done.
611
00:27:17,066 --> 00:27:19,266
Oh, can we put our
initials in the concrete?
612
00:27:19,333 --> 00:27:21,567
Now, he's finally able
613
00:27:21,567 --> 00:27:23,667
as he stares down
the barrel of retirement.
614
00:27:23,734 --> 00:27:25,567
Having his kind of,
615
00:27:25,634 --> 00:27:27,867
last build on the farm,
616
00:27:27,867 --> 00:27:30,667
where he will reside
and watch over
the grandchildren,
617
00:27:30,667 --> 00:27:33,100
and then hopefully,
keep that in the family
to pass on.
618
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,767
Well, you did it.
I'm very excited.
619
00:27:35,834 --> 00:27:37,734
You pulled it off,
Matt Roloff.
620
00:27:39,867 --> 00:27:40,767
[Zach] Oh, here we go.
621
00:27:40,767 --> 00:27:41,767
[narrator] Coming up...
622
00:27:41,767 --> 00:27:42,967
[Zach] Go Lilah, go.
623
00:27:43,033 --> 00:27:44,066
[Jackson] Lilah.
624
00:27:44,133 --> 00:27:45,567
Josiah, you go, too.
Go, go, go.
625
00:27:45,567 --> 00:27:47,734
Do you and Lilah race though,
on your scooters?
626
00:27:50,767 --> 00:27:52,367
-[Tori gasps]
-[Jackson] Oh.
627
00:27:52,367 --> 00:27:53,767
Wipes, wipes.
628
00:27:53,834 --> 00:27:55,367
Wow.
629
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:07,467
[Zach] Lilah, you're getting
pretty good on that scooter.
630
00:28:07,467 --> 00:28:08,967
[Tori] Oh, here she goes.
631
00:28:09,033 --> 00:28:10,066
[Zach] Oh, here we go.
632
00:28:10,066 --> 00:28:12,266
You have to go all
the way around
the kitchen island
633
00:28:12,333 --> 00:28:14,667
and the couch,
and whoever gets
back here first, wins.
634
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:16,100
Ready? Go.
635
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:17,367
[Jackson exclaims]
636
00:28:17,433 --> 00:28:19,266
-[Zach] Go, Lilah, go.
-[Tori] Please
be careful inside.
637
00:28:19,333 --> 00:28:21,100
[Zach] Go, go, go.
638
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:23,266
I'm kind of taking it easy
since my surgery.
639
00:28:23,266 --> 00:28:26,367
I was trying to ease back
into our routine as a family.
640
00:28:26,367 --> 00:28:28,667
[Tori] This is how
more injuries occur,
641
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:29,767
and more surgeries happen.
642
00:28:29,767 --> 00:28:31,266
I don't have my timer.
643
00:28:31,266 --> 00:28:33,567
Do you and Lilah
race though,
on your scooters?
644
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,066
-[Tori gasps]
-[Jackson] Oh.
645
00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:39,166
Wipes, wipes.
646
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:40,867
Josiah, you go, too.
Go, go, go.
647
00:28:40,934 --> 00:28:42,166
Josiah, you go fast.
648
00:28:42,233 --> 00:28:43,667
[Zach] Go follow them.
649
00:28:43,734 --> 00:28:44,767
[Tori] There you go.
650
00:28:44,834 --> 00:28:45,867
[Zach] Now, go.
651
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,166
No, no. We're just
gonna continue.
652
00:28:50,166 --> 00:28:51,266
-Thank you.
-[woman] You're welcome.
653
00:28:51,333 --> 00:28:52,867
[Jackson speaking]
654
00:28:52,934 --> 00:28:53,967
-Good job.
-Whoa.
655
00:28:54,066 --> 00:28:55,367
[Zach] Did you go all
the way around the couch, too?
656
00:28:55,367 --> 00:28:56,634
And the kitchen island?
657
00:28:58,166 --> 00:29:00,133
Wow.
658
00:29:01,266 --> 00:29:04,333
[Zach] We have
a baby, a toddler,
and a five year old.
659
00:29:05,066 --> 00:29:06,734
And, uh, yeah.
Life's pretty hectic.
660
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,467
-Oh, gosh.
-Oh, dear.
661
00:29:09,467 --> 00:29:11,767
-Hold on.
-Go follow Jackson.
662
00:29:11,834 --> 00:29:14,367
Sometimes challenges
are like, they're all
in different wavelengths.
663
00:29:14,367 --> 00:29:16,667
They all... My challenge
right now is nap time.
664
00:29:16,734 --> 00:29:18,767
I feel like I'm nap
trapped all day long.
665
00:29:18,834 --> 00:29:21,066
Lilah, you're getting
pretty good on that scooter.
666
00:29:21,066 --> 00:29:22,767
-[Lilah] Yeah.
-[Tori] Say, "Thanks, Daddy."
667
00:29:22,834 --> 00:29:26,166
I mean, it's been definitely
more challenging
not having my partner,
668
00:29:26,166 --> 00:29:28,266
that's there to help
with the kids.
669
00:29:28,266 --> 00:29:29,567
Zach is still recovering,
670
00:29:29,567 --> 00:29:32,433
and he can't lift
more than 10lb.
671
00:29:33,567 --> 00:29:35,367
-Um...
-I can't bend over.
672
00:29:35,367 --> 00:29:38,567
He can't put his
head below his heart.
673
00:29:38,567 --> 00:29:41,567
Those are the two,
like pretty significant
things he can't do.
674
00:29:41,634 --> 00:29:42,667
You can't tie your shoes.
675
00:29:42,667 --> 00:29:43,767
You can't pick up your kids.
676
00:29:43,767 --> 00:29:45,767
So, I've just, kind of,
been on my own.
677
00:29:45,767 --> 00:29:47,433
And yeah, it's just
been a little hectic.
678
00:29:49,967 --> 00:29:51,033
[Zach] Whose room is this?
679
00:29:52,066 --> 00:29:53,166
The boys room.
680
00:29:53,166 --> 00:29:54,567
[Zach]
The boys room?
What're you doing?
681
00:29:54,634 --> 00:29:56,967
-[Tori] Just the boys.
-What do you do
in the boys room?
682
00:29:56,967 --> 00:29:59,100
[Jackson] Play LEGOs
with my dad.
683
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:01,367
-[Zach] Do you like sharing
the room with Josiah?
-[Jackson] Yeah.
684
00:30:01,367 --> 00:30:03,367
[Zach] Jackson and Josiah
love sharing the room.
685
00:30:03,433 --> 00:30:05,266
And it's worked out so well.
686
00:30:05,266 --> 00:30:07,367
-Wish we would
have done that earlier.
-Yes.
687
00:30:07,433 --> 00:30:08,567
-Are you ready, Lilah?
-[Lilah] Yeah.
688
00:30:08,567 --> 00:30:09,967
Can you do five jumping jacks?
689
00:30:10,667 --> 00:30:11,734
How old are you?
690
00:30:12,367 --> 00:30:13,967
[gasps] Don't say it.
691
00:30:13,967 --> 00:30:15,367
-Three.
-Are you four?
692
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,266
-Three? Mmm-hmm.
-[Zach] Three.
693
00:30:18,266 --> 00:30:19,367
What a big girl.
694
00:30:19,367 --> 00:30:20,867
Should Lilah have
a sleepover one night?
695
00:30:20,867 --> 00:30:22,300
Sure.
696
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,767
-That's so sad. That's so sad
if you put it like that.
-That's so...
697
00:30:30,767 --> 00:30:32,266
But wait, that's so
accurate though.
698
00:30:32,333 --> 00:30:33,734
Lilah, what's your dance?
699
00:30:34,867 --> 00:30:36,266
How do you do your dance?
700
00:30:36,266 --> 00:30:38,667
She has found
a love for dance.
701
00:30:38,667 --> 00:30:40,266
[Lilah speaking]
702
00:30:40,266 --> 00:30:41,467
'Kay, now do this.
703
00:30:41,467 --> 00:30:42,567
[Zach] I'll say,
"Do you want
to go to school?"
704
00:30:42,634 --> 00:30:43,600
And she goes, "No, dance".
705
00:30:43,667 --> 00:30:45,066
I'm like, "We're gonna
go on a boat next year".
706
00:30:45,066 --> 00:30:46,767
That's her favorite
part of dance class.
707
00:30:46,767 --> 00:30:48,834
And then remember,
you gotta do one,
708
00:30:49,867 --> 00:30:50,867
two.
709
00:30:50,867 --> 00:30:52,467
[Zach] And so she's
gonna start pre-school,
710
00:30:52,467 --> 00:30:53,667
whether she likes it or not.
711
00:30:53,667 --> 00:30:55,266
Whether she likes it or not,
she's going to pre-school.
712
00:30:55,266 --> 00:30:56,667
-Yeah, she's going
to pre-school. AM class.
-Next year.
713
00:30:56,667 --> 00:30:58,066
You're supposed
to sign her up today.
714
00:30:58,066 --> 00:30:59,667
I'm gonna sign her up.
Trust me.
715
00:30:59,667 --> 00:31:01,266
Si-Si, what are you doing?
716
00:31:01,333 --> 00:31:04,166
-[Jackson speaking]
-What are you doing
you happy little...
717
00:31:04,233 --> 00:31:05,367
Lilah, Lilah, poor choice.
718
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:08,667
Jackson loves Josiah, too.
719
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:10,467
Josiah takes any attention.
720
00:31:10,467 --> 00:31:11,667
-Oh, yeah.
-Any attention
they'll give him.
721
00:31:11,667 --> 00:31:12,967
He's much more resilient
and tough
722
00:31:12,967 --> 00:31:15,667
-Yeah.
-than both of them,
I think.
723
00:31:15,734 --> 00:31:17,166
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
-Oh, oh.
724
00:31:17,166 --> 00:31:19,266
-Yeah, what?
-What?
725
00:31:19,266 --> 00:31:21,567
-When did that happen? No.
-No.
726
00:31:21,634 --> 00:31:23,667
Si-Si's mobile. He's crawling.
727
00:31:23,734 --> 00:31:25,467
He has his little like,
walking thing,
728
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:26,467
-that he sits in.
-It's so funny.
729
00:31:26,467 --> 00:31:28,266
[Zach]
And he can move,
he can back up,
730
00:31:28,266 --> 00:31:30,767
parallel park,
perpendicular park.
731
00:31:30,767 --> 00:31:32,667
It's all very impressive.
732
00:31:32,734 --> 00:31:34,767
It all happened while I
was in the hospital, too.
733
00:31:34,767 --> 00:31:36,467
I came home
and he was perfect.
734
00:31:42,367 --> 00:31:43,667
Yeah. When I'm
done recovering.
735
00:31:43,667 --> 00:31:44,867
When am I
gonna be done?
736
00:31:44,867 --> 00:31:46,967
Maybe in December.
737
00:31:47,033 --> 00:31:50,166
Hopefully not, dude.
Hopefully it's done in,
like, end of February.
738
00:31:50,166 --> 00:31:51,066
Okay.
739
00:31:51,066 --> 00:31:52,667
Everything happened so fast.
740
00:31:52,734 --> 00:31:54,667
It's good to be on the other
side of the surgery.
741
00:31:54,734 --> 00:31:56,734
So far no setbacks.
742
00:31:57,567 --> 00:31:59,667
Tori, you did a great
job that week.
743
00:31:59,734 --> 00:32:00,967
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
744
00:32:00,967 --> 00:32:03,467
Tori rallied hard.
She got the kids going.
745
00:32:03,467 --> 00:32:05,367
And my mom came
up a couple times,
746
00:32:05,367 --> 00:32:06,667
to watch the kids.
747
00:32:06,667 --> 00:32:08,767
Tori asked my mom
and dad for advice.
748
00:32:08,767 --> 00:32:11,266
And everyone was very
responsive to her.
749
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:13,166
When it comes
to my dad,
yeah, I think
750
00:32:13,233 --> 00:32:14,967
he really screwed
over the farm.
751
00:32:15,033 --> 00:32:16,967
Everything
that the family built,
752
00:32:17,033 --> 00:32:18,367
but yeah, when he's around,
you know, hey,
753
00:32:18,367 --> 00:32:20,266
he's grandpa to the kids
and everything,
754
00:32:20,266 --> 00:32:23,667
but, that doesn't change
that I think he screwed
over the family.
755
00:32:23,667 --> 00:32:25,367
I don't know how
much contact we have,
756
00:32:25,433 --> 00:32:26,767
like, we probably
have less now.
757
00:32:26,767 --> 00:32:28,367
Like, Tori and me
are taking a break.
758
00:32:28,367 --> 00:32:31,767
We're definitely
separating ourselves
from our family more.
759
00:32:31,767 --> 00:32:33,467
I get my staples
out next Friday.
760
00:32:33,467 --> 00:32:35,266
[Jackson speaking]
761
00:32:35,266 --> 00:32:36,367
That's gonna hurt.
762
00:32:36,367 --> 00:32:38,967
-And where is Daddy's scar?
-[Lilah] Mommy. Mom.
763
00:32:38,967 --> 00:32:40,667
-Touch it, get in there.
-Mommy.
764
00:32:43,867 --> 00:32:45,667
No fear.
765
00:32:45,667 --> 00:32:47,967
-Show Lilah the staples.
-What were you thinking about
when dad was in the hospital?
766
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,767
You didn't think I
got staples? That's good.
767
00:32:53,767 --> 00:32:55,567
Jackson knew I
was in the hospital,
768
00:32:55,567 --> 00:32:57,467
and Jackson I think had
pretty good awareness.
769
00:32:57,467 --> 00:32:59,867
[Tori] While Jackson
had leg surgery,
770
00:32:59,867 --> 00:33:02,266
I don't think we shied away
from the fact that, like,
771
00:33:02,266 --> 00:33:04,367
dad is having surgery.
772
00:33:04,367 --> 00:33:06,166
[Zach] He was scared though.
He was nervous.
773
00:33:06,166 --> 00:33:08,166
[Tori] You could tell,
he was thinking about dad
774
00:33:08,233 --> 00:33:10,967
-and just what
the repercussions will be.
-Is he gonna be okay?
775
00:33:11,033 --> 00:33:12,667
-Is he coming home and...
-Yeah.
776
00:33:12,667 --> 00:33:14,367
How do you
take care of daddy?
777
00:33:17,867 --> 00:33:20,467
[Zach] They picked me up.
The nurse, like,
said to the kids in the car
778
00:33:20,467 --> 00:33:22,967
he can't lift 10lb,
he can't do this.
779
00:33:22,967 --> 00:33:24,467
So Jackson, oh, rules.
780
00:33:24,467 --> 00:33:26,667
-Jackson's been
a little police officer.
-Yeah.
781
00:33:26,667 --> 00:33:28,767
Lilah, no.
Daddy can't do that.
782
00:33:30,667 --> 00:33:33,000
Lot can happen
in another week.
783
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,767
Pressure can build up again.
784
00:33:34,767 --> 00:33:36,266
Migraine, vomiting,
785
00:33:36,266 --> 00:33:38,567
shunt could have
a infection, failure.
786
00:33:38,634 --> 00:33:40,367
-Okay. Mmm-hmm.
-So...
787
00:33:40,367 --> 00:33:42,100
We're not out of the woods.
788
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:45,867
I feel all right, but every
now and then,
I get these, like, headaches.
789
00:33:45,934 --> 00:33:47,867
Headaches,
not migraines,
but it's like,
790
00:33:47,867 --> 00:33:49,867
they call it, like,
medical trauma.
791
00:33:49,934 --> 00:33:51,200
Every time I get
a headache, I like,
792
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,867
-oh, my God, is it gonna...
-It's triggering,
like, you're like,
793
00:33:52,867 --> 00:33:55,166
-It's triggering.
Is it gonna escalate?
-Is it gonna escalate?
794
00:33:55,166 --> 00:33:56,634
Is there something
wrong with the shunt.
795
00:33:57,367 --> 00:33:59,266
This thing, I depend on it.
796
00:33:59,266 --> 00:34:00,767
So I can go into
another surgery.
797
00:34:00,834 --> 00:34:02,767
At any point,
this thing could fail.
798
00:34:02,834 --> 00:34:04,867
There could be an infection.
799
00:34:04,867 --> 00:34:06,367
Um...
800
00:34:06,367 --> 00:34:08,867
It would just be very
nerve wracking,
if I had to go back in.
801
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:13,166
Every now and then,
I get like, an ache
or a headache,
802
00:34:13,233 --> 00:34:14,867
I'm just trying not to,
like, over think that.
803
00:34:14,867 --> 00:34:16,967
Where is the ache
or headache at?
804
00:34:17,033 --> 00:34:18,867
It's like the general
head area.
805
00:34:18,934 --> 00:34:21,867
Okay, you just
literally did this.
Where is it at though?
806
00:34:21,934 --> 00:34:25,367
[Zach] Obviously,
any day, something
terrible could happen.
807
00:34:25,433 --> 00:34:26,867
But, I need to be
there for my kids,
808
00:34:26,867 --> 00:34:30,467
and, my kids need me,
you know.
809
00:34:30,467 --> 00:34:33,667
Super sad to think
that Tori would have
to explain to them,
810
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:35,967
why isn't Dad here.
811
00:34:35,967 --> 00:34:38,667
Parents do that, like,
that happens all the time,
812
00:34:38,734 --> 00:34:41,100
which devastating,
I couldn't imagine
having that conversation
813
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:45,467
where you have to explain
to your kids why one of their
parents isn't coming home.
814
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:49,133
Come on, let's go.
815
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,033
Oh, gosh.
816
00:35:15,500 --> 00:35:17,233
[Amy] I don't know
where that dog is.
817
00:35:18,266 --> 00:35:20,867
The mud like this,
this is why I put
her on a leash.
818
00:35:20,867 --> 00:35:23,066
[Chris]
Well, we don't bring her
out here very often.
819
00:35:23,133 --> 00:35:24,367
It's kind of nice to...
820
00:35:24,367 --> 00:35:26,066
-let her...
-Yeah.
821
00:35:26,066 --> 00:35:27,367
...stretch her legs and run,
822
00:35:27,367 --> 00:35:30,767
'cause she likes
to run when she gets
the space to do that.
823
00:35:31,767 --> 00:35:33,867
I'm glad that Matt
occasionally, you know,
824
00:35:33,867 --> 00:35:36,166
is okay with
having Chris and I
825
00:35:36,166 --> 00:35:39,166
take Daisy for a walk
around the farm.
826
00:35:39,233 --> 00:35:41,100
[Chris] No, I'm glad
we have a place
that we can go
827
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:43,567
and she doesn't
have to be on a leash.
828
00:35:43,567 --> 00:35:44,667
[Amy] Good girl.
829
00:35:45,467 --> 00:35:46,967
But it's kind of
cold out here.
830
00:35:47,033 --> 00:35:49,266
So we couldn't
really do a full walk.
831
00:35:49,266 --> 00:35:51,100
So, Matt wanted
us to check out
832
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:53,266
the changes that he's
made to the garage.
833
00:35:53,266 --> 00:35:55,066
[Chris] I love doing
things myself.
834
00:35:55,133 --> 00:35:57,667
And I always have fun going
over and looking and seeing
what the latest project is.
835
00:35:57,667 --> 00:35:59,100
What he's working on next.
836
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:01,967
[Amy] I don't need
to be invested in every,
837
00:36:01,967 --> 00:36:03,867
you know, project that Matt
does on the farm.
838
00:36:03,867 --> 00:36:06,767
That... My time for
that has come and gone.
839
00:36:06,767 --> 00:36:09,166
Yeah. Usually when I say,
I wanna go check out
840
00:36:09,166 --> 00:36:12,166
you know, Matt's projects,
she goes, have fun.
841
00:36:12,166 --> 00:36:13,934
You can tell me all
about it when you get back.
842
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:19,266
[Matt] Well, I shouldn't
say that. Remember
when we were...
843
00:36:19,333 --> 00:36:21,567
-Hey.
-[Chris] Hey. Good afternoon.
844
00:36:21,567 --> 00:36:23,266
[Amy] Hi.
845
00:36:23,266 --> 00:36:26,467
Well, this is the cleanest
this garage has ever been.
846
00:36:26,533 --> 00:36:29,367
[Chris] Why, I like what
you've done with this.
This is kind of cozy.
847
00:36:29,433 --> 00:36:31,767
[Matt] You know,
in some ways,
it's a little surreal
848
00:36:31,767 --> 00:36:35,166
that we, you know,
are sitting here, hanging out,
849
00:36:35,166 --> 00:36:36,767
you know, Caryn and I,
850
00:36:36,834 --> 00:36:39,567
my ex-wife, Amy,
her new husband, Chris,
851
00:36:39,567 --> 00:36:41,066
in Amy's old house,
852
00:36:41,066 --> 00:36:43,367
the house that Amy
and I raised our four kids.
853
00:36:43,367 --> 00:36:45,767
It's a little funny
and it's a little
bit surreal,
854
00:36:45,834 --> 00:36:49,000
but it's also very
comfortable
and you know, um,
855
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,867
um, I think,
856
00:36:50,867 --> 00:36:52,834
you know, we've all
come a long way.
857
00:36:53,567 --> 00:36:55,166
How's Zach been feeling?
858
00:36:55,233 --> 00:36:57,367
-[Amy] I think Zach is doing
pretty good. I mean...
-Good.
859
00:36:57,367 --> 00:36:59,767
-You know, we've been
down this road before.
-Yeah.
860
00:36:59,767 --> 00:37:02,066
I'm glad they had you,
Amy, to watch
those three kids.
861
00:37:02,133 --> 00:37:03,266
-'Cause that's a lot.
-Oh, yeah.
862
00:37:03,266 --> 00:37:05,266
I was called at two o'clock
in the morning.
863
00:37:05,266 --> 00:37:07,367
You're like... When the phone
rings at two in the morning,
864
00:37:07,433 --> 00:37:08,800
you know it's not good.
865
00:37:08,867 --> 00:37:12,066
Well, that's why I
tell people, that's why I
leave my phone by my bed.
866
00:37:12,133 --> 00:37:15,567
'Cause if my kids or my
grandkids, the older
they get, it's like...
867
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:17,266
-[Caryn] You never know.
-Yeah, grandma's around.
868
00:37:17,333 --> 00:37:19,567
I don't know if she'll
be functioning, but...
869
00:37:19,567 --> 00:37:22,266
-And that's what family does.
When you have an emergency,
-Yeah.
870
00:37:22,266 --> 00:37:24,066
when something arises,
871
00:37:24,133 --> 00:37:27,767
-you do jump in and...
-Look after the kids, and...
872
00:37:27,767 --> 00:37:29,367
-Keep their routine.
-Yeah.
873
00:37:29,367 --> 00:37:32,667
I mean, there was a day when
Caryn would have jumped
in and helped with that,
874
00:37:32,734 --> 00:37:34,333
but, um, yeah.
875
00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:39,767
I don't think any of his
other kids have that.
876
00:37:39,767 --> 00:37:42,000
The signs would have
already been known.
877
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,166
-Oh, okay.
-'Cause I knew something
was wrong with Zach,
878
00:37:44,166 --> 00:37:45,467
back in the day.
879
00:37:45,467 --> 00:37:47,367
Because he always threw up.
880
00:37:47,433 --> 00:37:48,667
Right.
881
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:51,567
I just hope he doesn't
have to go down
this road any time soon.
882
00:37:51,567 --> 00:37:53,667
We've heard a lot
of stories where people
883
00:37:53,667 --> 00:37:55,367
had this done every year.
884
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:02,166
[Matt] Um...
885
00:38:02,233 --> 00:38:05,100
So, Amy hasn't seen my little
progress on my foundation.
886
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:06,767
Are you still
pouring tomorrow?
887
00:38:06,834 --> 00:38:08,166
[Matt] Tomorrow
it's concrete day.
888
00:38:08,166 --> 00:38:10,367
In the true Matt
Roloff tradition,
889
00:38:10,367 --> 00:38:12,667
I'm making last
second changes.
890
00:38:12,667 --> 00:38:15,367
And Caryn wanted to eliminate
this bar we found.
891
00:38:15,367 --> 00:38:16,967
That's a shear wall, you know.
892
00:38:17,033 --> 00:38:18,934
[Chris] So why would you
want to eliminate the bar?
893
00:38:19,567 --> 00:38:22,967
It's got this 12-foot island.
894
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:24,767
-[Chris] Oh.
-I mean, it's gigantic.
895
00:38:24,834 --> 00:38:25,900
Okay, right.
896
00:38:25,967 --> 00:38:27,100
-[Caryn] It's just something
else to clean.
-I get ya.
897
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:28,467
-Yeah.
-[Caryn]
And thinking design.
898
00:38:28,533 --> 00:38:30,567
She's nipping away
at every little thing.
All the features.
899
00:38:30,567 --> 00:38:32,367
-No, can't do that.
-That's not true.
900
00:38:32,367 --> 00:38:34,867
-We're trying to simplify.
That's, I mean...
-[Chris] Yeah.
901
00:38:34,867 --> 00:38:37,867
-Well, there's nothing
wrong with simplifying. Is it?
-[Caryn] Yeah.
902
00:38:37,867 --> 00:38:42,066
You know, it's a little
bit weird talking about
the new dream home,
903
00:38:42,133 --> 00:38:44,767
uh, you know,
with Amy being
my ex-wife and all.
904
00:38:44,834 --> 00:38:46,367
But, she seems
to be a good sport
905
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:49,867
and Chris seems
to be legitimately interested
in what we're doing.
906
00:38:49,867 --> 00:38:51,667
So, it's a fine line between
907
00:38:51,667 --> 00:38:53,867
being awkward,
not saying anything about it,
908
00:38:53,934 --> 00:38:56,266
and telling her
too much about it.
909
00:38:56,266 --> 00:38:58,066
[Chris] So are you
guys doing wallpaper?
910
00:38:58,066 --> 00:39:00,767
[Caryn] In maybe a--
We don't know yet.
911
00:39:00,767 --> 00:39:04,767
[Amy] It does feel different
to talk about the stages
912
00:39:04,767 --> 00:39:06,867
of my ex-husband's house.
913
00:39:06,867 --> 00:39:09,066
Because, that's not my life.
914
00:39:09,066 --> 00:39:12,033
It's not a part of me,
it never will be,
and it shouldn't be.
915
00:39:12,767 --> 00:39:14,166
Uh, that is his.
916
00:39:14,166 --> 00:39:17,967
And that is his and Caryn's,
and whatever they wanna do.
917
00:39:18,033 --> 00:39:20,233
You know, time
will settle that...
918
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:22,533
a little bit, and...
919
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:25,667
not everything you
want or dreams
920
00:39:25,667 --> 00:39:26,734
that you had hoped for...
921
00:39:27,667 --> 00:39:28,867
always come true.
922
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:31,433
So, you have to figure out
a way how to move on.
923
00:39:32,767 --> 00:39:35,266
Should I tell her? No?
924
00:39:35,266 --> 00:39:36,533
Oh, yeah. Tell her.
925
00:39:40,266 --> 00:39:43,467
We're all but decided that...
926
00:39:44,767 --> 00:39:45,867
when I die...
927
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,066
we're giving whatever piece
of the farm I still have...
928
00:39:52,567 --> 00:39:53,600
to Amy.
929
00:39:57,166 --> 00:40:00,433
[stutters] I don't even know
how to comment on that.
930
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,467
You... you... What? Like...
931
00:40:07,533 --> 00:40:08,567
it's crazy.
932
00:40:12,066 --> 00:40:14,967
Uh, yeah. So that's
been kicked around.
933
00:40:14,967 --> 00:40:18,567
That update, we had to,
because, it's like,
934
00:40:18,567 --> 00:40:20,333
otherwise it's
too complicated.
935
00:40:23,467 --> 00:40:25,367
Let's talk about the fact
936
00:40:25,433 --> 00:40:27,867
that I'm the one
that had the idea
937
00:40:27,867 --> 00:40:31,567
that you leave
everything you own,
938
00:40:31,567 --> 00:40:34,567
aside from Arizona,
'cause that's ours
together, to Amy.
939
00:40:34,567 --> 00:40:36,667
You did. That was your idea.
940
00:40:36,667 --> 00:40:39,100
[Caryn] Your family,
in the first part
of your life,
941
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:40,667
built and worked
for this farm.
942
00:40:40,734 --> 00:40:42,100
I came in later.
943
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:43,667
And I don't want it.
944
00:40:43,734 --> 00:40:45,967
And I don't wanna ever
take anything away from
the people that built it,
945
00:40:45,967 --> 00:40:48,266
the family, the kids.
So, that is a definite.
946
00:40:48,266 --> 00:40:50,166
That's... Whether we get
married or we don't,
947
00:40:50,166 --> 00:40:51,667
farm is off the table.
948
00:40:51,667 --> 00:40:54,166
'Cause she would
wanna make sure all
the kids are happy.
949
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:55,567
That's exactly...
950
00:40:55,634 --> 00:40:57,767
[Amy] Or give 'em
a dose of reality.
951
00:40:57,767 --> 00:41:02,433
Let her be the one
to dish that spoonful
of sugar out, okay?
952
00:41:03,700 --> 00:41:05,767
[Amy]
I was absolutely
surprised.
953
00:41:05,834 --> 00:41:07,867
What Matt said,
I didn't take seriously.
954
00:41:07,867 --> 00:41:11,266
Statements like that,
it's, you know,
in one ear, out the other.
955
00:41:11,333 --> 00:41:13,467
It's like, you know,
I'll believe it
when I see it.
956
00:41:13,467 --> 00:41:16,367
Not that I want him
to die anytime soon.
957
00:41:16,433 --> 00:41:18,767
But, I'll believe
it when I see it.
958
00:41:18,767 --> 00:41:20,667
Boom. She can figure it out.
959
00:41:20,734 --> 00:41:21,967
[all laughing]
960
00:41:26,967 --> 00:41:30,000
[Matt] Coming up this season
on Little People, Big World.
961
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,066
He's about to throw it.
962
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,367
♪ That's divine ♪
963
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:36,467
Having three kids right now
is kinda hectic.
964
00:41:36,467 --> 00:41:38,066
It's very go, go, go.
965
00:41:38,133 --> 00:41:39,166
[screaming]
966
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,266
There's lots of energy,
it's just not very peaceful.
967
00:41:41,266 --> 00:41:42,166
[shrieks]
968
00:41:42,166 --> 00:41:44,767
[laughing]
969
00:41:44,767 --> 00:41:46,066
Here he comes!
970
00:41:46,133 --> 00:41:48,467
Some of the opposing kids
point out that he's different.
971
00:41:48,467 --> 00:41:50,567
It's not a conversation
I'd prefer to have,
972
00:41:50,567 --> 00:41:52,166
but right now,
it's starting.
973
00:41:52,166 --> 00:41:53,467
Like, it's never gonna stop.
974
00:41:53,467 --> 00:41:55,767
Jackson, do you
wanna play a game?
975
00:41:55,767 --> 00:41:58,867
So, they got the bar out there,
they got drinks out there.
976
00:41:58,867 --> 00:42:00,667
We're hosting
a fundraising event
977
00:42:00,667 --> 00:42:02,000
along with Matt and Karen.
978
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,166
He's gonna wanna be in charge.
979
00:42:04,166 --> 00:42:06,100
I am running the show.
980
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:07,166
We'll do it my way.
981
00:42:07,166 --> 00:42:08,767
'Cause this has to go.
982
00:42:08,834 --> 00:42:10,567
That would be easier than moving
the other way, I guess.
983
00:42:10,567 --> 00:42:11,767
This has to go.
984
00:42:11,767 --> 00:42:16,467
Amy can cross that line
from micromanager to dictator
985
00:42:16,533 --> 00:42:19,767
quicker than me, and you just
fasten your seat belt.
986
00:42:19,834 --> 00:42:21,567
She gave the guys instructions.
987
00:42:21,567 --> 00:42:22,767
No, I did not.
988
00:42:22,767 --> 00:42:25,166
I didn't talk to nobody.
989
00:42:25,233 --> 00:42:27,967
You're the one who doesn't
take ownership or apologize.
990
00:42:27,967 --> 00:42:29,367
-What I meant to say --
-He doesn't apologize.
991
00:42:31,467 --> 00:42:33,934
How did you scout this out,
you cutie.
992
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:40,667
I asked Caryn to marry me,
and she said yes.
993
00:42:40,667 --> 00:42:42,166
Did you talk this over
with Chris?
994
00:42:42,166 --> 00:42:44,166
-[laughing]
-Oh, my god.
995
00:42:44,166 --> 00:42:45,767
Hey guys, welcome.
996
00:42:45,767 --> 00:42:48,867
I haven't seen Amy
since Caryn and I were engaged.
997
00:42:48,867 --> 00:42:51,066
I don't know if she's
gonna make things awkward,
998
00:42:51,066 --> 00:42:52,367
or if she's okay with it.
999
00:42:52,367 --> 00:42:54,367
Oh, let's see the ring.
1000
00:42:54,367 --> 00:42:55,634
Oh, boy.
1001
00:43:01,867 --> 00:43:03,967
I didn't reply,
I don't want to talk about her.
1002
00:43:04,033 --> 00:43:05,467
I'm, like, dreaming of the day
1003
00:43:05,467 --> 00:43:07,967
where the grandkids
are out playing in the distance.
1004
00:43:07,967 --> 00:43:09,767
We don't see Zack and Tori
that often.
1005
00:43:09,767 --> 00:43:12,100
I think they must have made
some kind of pact
1006
00:43:12,100 --> 00:43:13,467
that they don't want to
come to the farm
1007
00:43:13,533 --> 00:43:14,667
They don't come over anymore.
1008
00:43:14,667 --> 00:43:17,266
I'm not used to being cut off,
1009
00:43:17,266 --> 00:43:19,467
where it's just, poik, gone.
1010
00:43:19,467 --> 00:43:22,367
You have a choice,
how long do you leave it broken?
1011
00:43:22,433 --> 00:43:24,767
Is there a way
to help heal it?
1012
00:43:24,767 --> 00:43:27,867
The family wasn't put first
on multiple occasions.
1013
00:43:27,867 --> 00:43:29,567
That ship all sailed.
1014
00:43:29,567 --> 00:43:33,266
My job as a grandpa
is to love my grandkids,
1015
00:43:33,266 --> 00:43:36,100
and that's the sad part, you
never get all that time back.
