[bright classical music]
- All right.
Grayson, phone.
- How long does it have
to be in there?
- 30 minutes.
- 30 minutes?
I haven't been without my phone
for 30 minutes my entire life.
- I know it's gonna
clean the outside,
but I hope it cleans the inside
'cause that's dirty.
- Mine's pretty nasty too.
[laughter]
- What are y'all doing?
We're supposed
to be having lunch.
Why are none of y'all
answering your phones?
- Because they've got me
sanitizing my phone.
- Do what?
- We're cleaning the phones.
Do you know your phone
has more bacteria on it
than a public toilet?
So this machine--
- Ew.
- Exactly.
This machine right here
has UV rays that will kill
all the bacteria.
- My phone is cleaned
multiple times a day.
- That's not true.
- That is the truth.
I've got the wipes.
- Being honest,
who texts and uses their phone
when they're on the toilet?
[quirky music]
- I spend a lot of time
texting on the toilet.
- You don't text me
from the toilet.
- How would you know
where I be texting?
- Well, Mama, when I'm asking
you, "What are you doing?"
you don't--
- I say, "Nothing."
- Okay?
- I don't tell you
that I'm taking a crap, do I?
[laughter]
[bright classical music]

[upbeat music]
- Mama, I'm glad
you've started exercising more
because you need that.
- Yeah, I have to walk Miley.
- Mama,
Miley's not walking you.
Why do you even have a leash?
I mean,
that defeats the purpose
of walking your dog.
She's actually not walking.
- But she don't need
the exercise.
- Yeah, she needs
the exercise, Mama.
- Let's just rest
for a minute.
- Okay.
- And hers got to rest
a little bit.
I know, Todd,
you're always teasing me
about Miley being in the way--
- Yeah--
- And getting into stuff.
But one thing about it,
I'm gonna miss you when you go.
My family is dear to me.
- So we're moving out
of my mother's house
now that we have found
a rental, which was--
I mean, I'm sorry,
Julie found a rental.
But now, we're kind of ready
to move out and move on.
- Faye has been
an amazing host,
but I have to say,
it's gonna be nice just to--
- Have some quality time.
- I was gonna say,
have our own space.
- Quality time.
- Listen, I know it's a lot.
You hadn't had kids
in your house in a long time,
but I do appreciate it.
- Well, listen, honey, anytime.
The door's always open.
- And you know,
the good thing about it is,
you're still gonna
see me every day.
I'm still gonna see you,
I'm still gonna get
to bitch about this rat
every day.
- [chuckles]
- Oh.
- Hey.
- How are y'all doing?
- Hey. How are you?
- It's those guys
from the block party.
- Who the hell
are these people?
- They're from the block party.
- Hey. How are you?
Good to see y'all.
- Good to see
you guys too again.
- Thank you.
- You're the one that made
those fabulous
pineapple cupcakes.
- I did.
- I loved 'em.
- I did, and I'm so glad
you loved 'em
'cause there's a little bit
of a controversy in my house.
My husband doesn't
love 'em so much.
- Aw.
- I just don't understand
why everything
has to be a cupcake.
I mean, you know,
whatever happened
to the traditional
pineapple upside-down cake?
- I like to change things up
every once in a while.
- Variety is the spice of life.
- That's funny.
That's our motto too.
We love to spice things up.
- We do.
[laughter]
- You know,
sometimes you got
to spice things up
a little bit.
- Actually, we're having
a little party soon.
We'd love for y'all to join.
- We'd love to.
- Oh, that'd be great.
Can you give me
your information?
- Yes. Sure.
- Okay.
I'll get an invitation
out to you.
- Sounds good.
- Oh.
So nice to see y'all.
- Good to see you.
- Nice to see you.
Y'all have a great day.
- Bye.
- Bye-bye.
- We're not going
to some stranger's house.
- Oh, my God.
You need to loosen up.
- No. Stranger danger.
- [laughs]
[bright music]
* *
[indistinct chatter]
- What kind of pancakes
did you get?
- Sweet potato.
- How much of that syrup are
you gonna put on the pancakes?
- Yeah, for real.
- It's so good.
- So what are we gonna do
when we leave here?
- The same, as always.
Getting our hands
and feet done.
- Hands and feet, yes.
- Yeah.
The same as every week.
- Chase, what do you mean?
- We just feel like
we're kind of in a rut.
- Honey, I'm not in a rut.
- You are, though.
You do the same boring things
every single day.
- I agree that we do need
to do something different.
We need an adventure.
Something fun.
- Yeah.
- Something that's
gonna get us
outside our comfort zone.
- I agree.
- I'm good with everything
being exactly
the way that it is.
And with this move
and your mother signing me up
for parties
that I don't want to go to,
I certainly don't need
any more change.
- Our family, I feel like
everybody is
a creature of habit.
- 100%.
I just feel like
we need some excitement.
- For once,
I feel like
we're totally in agreement.
- And this may be
the last time.
- Probably.
You don't want
to live like this.
- No.
- That's just boring.
You want to--"Vroom."
- Yep.
- Well, here's the thing--
your mother and I,
because of the children
we have,
we've never been able
to enjoy anything like this.
It's always been--
[whooshing, slide whistle]
- See, that's good.
That's excitement.
Keeping you young.
[laughter]
[tranquil music]
* *
- I mean, I love a porch.
I used to sit on Mama Chris'
porch at 109 Eighth Street.
And she painted that porch
every year battleship gray.
That's where I get it from.
My grandmother was classy.
Now, the rest of 'em
was Goodtime Girls.
- Yeah.
[laughter]
- Hey, darlin'.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Where'd you get that?
- Well, you got
a party invite.
"Halloo."
both: "Halloo"?
- Yeah.
"Todd and Julie,
"we wanted to extend an invite
to our 'sorree.'
Please come"--
- "Sorree"?
- Give me that.
- [laughs]
- Give me this.
- I'll let you read it.
- Yeah, please do.
- Oh, perfect.
Okay.
- "Aloha."
- Yeah, I figured.
- "Aloha, Todd and Julie!
"We wanted to extend an invite
to our...soirée."
- Oh, okay.
Well, you knew what I meant.
- "Please come experience
"the warm embrace
of your neighbors.
"Saturday, 5:00 p.m.
The Bakers."
Who is that?
- Oh.
You know, we saw 'em
when we were walking
the other day.
- We're having
a little party soon.
We'd love for y'all to join.
- We'd love to.
- You know, I'm the life
of the party,
and they didn't invite me.
- Mama, I don't plan
on going no way.
- I mean, Todd,
they went to the trouble.
They brought
this fruit basket by.
I mean, an invitation--
a printed invitation.
I mean, we need
to at least stop by
for a few minutes.
Who doesn't want
to meet new people?
Where is your sense
of adventure?
I mean, you never know
what new people
might bring into your life.
- Why does our family need
all these new things?
I don't need new things.
- I'm just bummed
that they didn't invite me.
- Mama, it's probably 'cause
they don't remember you
from that block party.
- Well, it doesn't make a damn.
I'm gonna take his pineapple
and I'm gonna make me
a piña colada.
And I don't care what y'all do.
Bye.
I hope I got
a good bit of rum left.
[bright classical music]
- All right.
That's it.
Everyone have their suggestions
in the bowl?
- Yeah.
- All right,
so we've all agreed
that our activities
have gotten stale, right?
So whatever we choose
out of this fishbowl
right here,
we're doing it, agreed?
- I think this is
an awesome idea.
- There's no flaking.
- And I'll never flake.
- Well, some of this stuff
might be
a little too much for you.
- Yeah.
- Savannah, Grayson,
and myself,
we're all on the same page
that we need to get out there
and do something exciting,
but we're not on the same page
with what we need to do.
- So that's where Nanny
comes into play.
We've all put our ideas
in the bowl,
and she's gonna pick our fate.
- Sweet, neutral,
impartial Nanny.
- What could go wrong?
Grab one.
- Come on, Nanny.
Get a good one.
What is it?
- Skydiving.
- Absolutely not.
- Oh, yes!
- I can promise you this:
me jumping out of a plane
is not happening.
- Chase, it sounds like
you're chickening out
a little bit.
- No, I'm picking
my own fate.
- Okay. Whatever you pick,
we're doing.
[quirky music]
What is it?
- Rappelling.
- Oh, my gosh.
That will be so much fun.
- Yes.
- Did you put all of these
in here?
- Yeah.
- You know
that I don't do heights.
No. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
- [chuckles]
- Oh, my God, bro! Bro!
- [screams]
- God--
- I want you
to climb that wall.
- Oh, God.
- Are you scared?
- Who's gonna hold me?
- I'll hold you.
- No.
- Oh!
- [wails]
- I'm going home.
- Chase.
- You're not going home.
- Yeah, I am.
It's lame.
I don't want to do it anymore.
Trying to make me
go over a cliff
and have a heart attack
at the age of 25, midair--
not something I'm trying
to sign up to do.
- Could you be
any more dramatic?
- Could you be
any more annoying?
I am beyond annoyed that these
all have to do with heights,
but if I've got to do one,
I'm gonna rappel.
- See, you're going out
of your comfort zone.
- That's why you need
to stick with me, Chase.
- I've been saying that, Nanny.
- I don't do stupid [bleep].
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
* *
- I think the house
is gonna work out fine.
It's got plenty of room.
- Right.
I think it'll be great
for the interim
once I get everything in order.
- But you have worked hard
to get us in that house
and to get everything set up,
and, I mean,
I'm appreciative of that.
- Well, listen,
I'm glad you brought it up
because I've got a lot left
to do on the rental house,
and I don't think
I can make it to the party.
And really, Todd,
I mean, did you see
the look on your mom's face?
She was devastated
that she didn't get an invite.
- Julie, don't even, 'cause--
- I mean--
- I didn't even wanna go
to the party.
- I know,
but you agreed to go
and you're already
in that mindset of going.
- No. Chase will go with her.
He'll take her.
- Todd, your name's
on the invite.
You are going
to take your mother.
She's sad about the move,
so this will cheer her up.
- Fine, Julie.
I will take Mama.
One hour. That's all
I'm staying for this party.
- You know what, you are
so cute when you agree with me
and do what
you're supposed to do.
- Mm-hmm.
[gentle music]
* *
- Nanny, let me
tell you something.
- What, darling?
- That blue
just makes your eyes pop, girl.
- Oh, well,
that's why I wore it,
'cause I thought
it made me look good today.
- You do. You look beautiful,
as always, Nanny.
- Well, thank you, hon.
- So what are we
doing out here?
- Well, I know you're nervous
about rappelling,
and I've conquered
a lot of my fears.
I'm gonna try to help you
conquer yours too.
- Well, help me out, Nanny.
- And I've done some research,
and we have got to calm down
your nervous system.
You see that?
Smell that.
That relaxes you.
You just lay on this mat.
[quirky music]
Then, you smell the scents.
- Is that eucalyptus?
- No, it's Vicks VapoRub.
- [scoffs]
Okay, that's--
that's comforting, Nanny.
- Now, breathe
through your nose real slow.
Take deep breaths.
Breathe deep.
Picture yourself
on a high cliff.
- Okay, Nanny.
- Breathe deep.
- [exhales slowly]
- See how relaxed?
But then, you start falling.
And then you're hitting rocks.
You're breaking your bones.
And you're hitting your head.
And when you hit the bottom,
you're dead.
- How does that help?
- Well, see,
because you didn't.
It's mind over your thinking.
- "Mind over matter," Nanny.
- Yeah, okay.
Mind over...that.
- That's not the case here.
This is not working,
and I don't think
I'm gonna be able to rappel
off a cliff, I really don't.
- Well, I'll just put
some more VapoRub in.
- The VapoRub is not helping.
- Listen.
You're always a winner
in my eyes.
So you go ahead,
propel down that mountain.
- It's not propel, Nanny.
- Just slide down
the damn mountain.
And you'll feel good
about yourself.
* *
[whimsical music]
* *
- You know, Todd, you look good
and you are pretty.
Instead of handsome,
I say, you pretty.
- Well, I'll take it, honey.
At 53, I'll take
any compliment I can get.
But I mean, you know,
you gave me a good foundation,
considering that I've never
really had anything done.
I mean--
- I got to get away
from this table
if we're lying in this place.
- [chuckles]
- The house--
how is the house going?
- It's going good.
You know, Julie's running
ragged right now.
You know, she's so damn busy,
she doesn't know
whether to scratch her watch
or wind her ass.
But I also wanted to thank you
for letting us stay with you
because, I mean, I know
that was an intrusion.
- Listen,
that brought me great joy.
Y'all living with me
just brought back memories.
- I know.
- Of me coming in
and cooking a meal
and everybody coming
to the table.
- [chuckles]
I know, Mama.
You know, we had
some good times.
- I'm gonna miss you, Todd.
- Mama, honey,
you're never gonna be alone.
I'm gonna be with you until
the good Lord calls us home.
- Mm-hmm.
I never have a doubt.
- No.
You know,
hearing my mother talk,
it just made me realize
how important it is
that we make sure
that she's always included
in everything that we do.
- Exactly,
which is why you and her
going to this party together
is perfect.
- Yeah, perfect for you
and for her.
But that's all right,
because Todd's a team player,
so I'll take one for the team.
So, Mama, I had a great idea.
I want you to go with me
to that party
'cause Julie's
not gonna be able to.
- Well, they didn't invite me.
- Mama, it'll be fine.
You'll be my plus-one.
- I'll cut you a deal.
- What's the deal, Mama?
Here we go.
- If you'll buy me
a new outfit,
I'll go to the party with you.
- You know, you're actually
worse than Savannah,
'cause she does
the same thing to me.
- Well, I think
it's a good game.
[bright classical music]
* *
- Dude, come on.
- Hurry up.
Let's go.
- I had to pee.
- You have peed ten times.
- Maybe if I wasn't
about to jump off a cliff--
- You're not gonna jump--
- I'll be fine.
- Off a cliff.
You're going to rappel.
And why would you wear
designer shoes to rappel?
- Way to use that.
- All right.
You guys ready
to go rappelling?
- Yep, let's do it.
- We're gonna head on down
and we gonna get hooked up.
- Perfect.
- You guys ready?
- Let's do it.
- All right.
[Modest Mussorgsky's
"Night on Bald Mountain"]
[dramatic orchestral music]
* *
- I don't know about this.
- Does that sound
of running water down there
make you have to pee again?
- No, Savannah.
This--
[gasps]
- Just hang out.
Don't move around too much.
All right.
Grab this rope right here.
So what I'm gonna do now is,
I'm gonna go to the edge.
- Oh, my God.
- And then I'm gonna
just have you watch
where you're going
on your way down.
- Savannah, I don't know
if I can do this.
- If you wanna bail,
now is your time.
- Whenever you're ready, dude,
you're gonna start to kind of--
- Oh, my God.
- Have a little bit of a slant,
but you're still not
off the cliffside yet.
- You're fine.
- I don't know about this.
- Now, bring that right foot
back onto the cliff edge.
- You got this.
- [gasps]
- Dude, that's it.
- Oh, my God, bro.
- That's it.
You're already rappelling.
- [moans]
- Done, right?
- You got it.
You're good.
- So lean back more
- Come on.
- Nice and slow.
- Oh, my God.
I feel like I'm gonna fall.
- You're not gonna fall.
- [grunts]
- You got it.
- Yeah, Chase.
- Way to go.
- [panting shakily]
- That's it.
Nice, man.
Take your time
and just head on down.
[Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"]
- If you could finish
sometime today,
that'd be great too.
- Oh, my God.
I'm almost there.
- We got a toe down.
- [cries]
[celebratory orchestra music]
- Nice, dude.
- Are you alive?
- Yeah, I'm sweating all over.
My hands are sweating.
My ass is sweating.
My back is sweating.
Dude, that's
scary as hell, bro.
- So I just want you to take
a look at what you're doing.
Okay?
- Holy [bleep].
Why'd you make me look?
- Just one step at a time.
- Come on down.
- Ooh!
- You're good.
- Let's go, Savannah.
If I can do it, you can.
- All right.
You're almost there.
Slow it down at the end there.
- Slow!
- Slow it down.
- That was way scarier
than I thought it was gonna be.
- And that's what you get
for picking a dumb activity,
Savannah.
Come on, Gray.
- You got it.
- All right.
Slow and steady, dude.
- There you go.
You did it easy.
- Whoo! You did good.
- I'm good on adventure
for a while.
We can do some pancakes,
some mani-pedis.
- Yeah.
- And I'm good.
- I'll be there.
Count me in.
You know what, Chase?
I'm so proud of you
because I know
you're afraid of heights
and you conquered
that fear today.
Come on.
- I'm proud of you too.
- I don't know
that I necessarily
conquered it, though.
- How does it feel?
Like, amazing?
- No, Savannah,
it feels like
I'm about to crap my pants.
- [laughs]
- Who wants to go again?
- I'm not doing it again.
[whimsical music]
* *
- They love
these damn pineapples.
- I know,
and if they're there
when we get through
with this party,
we'll take them with us.
- Mama, you're not stealing
freaking pineapples.
- Well, you might not,
but I am.
- Do not go in here
and embarrass me, please.
- You know, I was thinking
the same damn thing.
- Mama.
- Well, hello. Welcome.
- Hey. How are you?
- So glad you could make it.
- Good to see you.
Good to be here.
I brought us a little
pineapple upside-down cake.
- Very good.
Come right over here.
I have a place
for you to set it.
And we got some food
over here, folks.
- Oh, well, thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
[quirky music]
- Come on in, folks.
We got some food over here.
And you can set that beautiful
pineapple upside-down cake
right up there on the counter.
- Oh.
How nice of you to bring that.
Todd, I was hoping
you'd bring Julie.
- No, Julie wasn't able
to come.
She had some stuff
she had to do with the kids.
- Aw, too bad.
- Yeah.
- Well, but your mom's
an interesting choice.
- Oh, I'm a better choice.
- Oh, well, we'll have fun.
- I believe in having fun.
- Well, you make yourself
at home.
It's a party.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Do you recognize
any of these people?
- No.
- And they're all
wearing pajamas.
- Well, hell, Todd,
that ain't nothing.
You know,
when I was in high school
and we did church functions,
we wore our pajamas.
- Well, it didn't say
it was a pajama party.
- It's just a party.
- We've got one hour,
and we're out of here.
- Who said?
- I said, Mama.
Hey.
- Keys?
- Oh, I don't drink.
- Oh, no--
- But I do.
- But I'm driving her.
So it's fine.
- Oh, no.
For the swap.
- The what?
- For the swap.
[eerie music]
* *
- Exactly what kind of party
is this?
- Whatever kind of party
you want it to be.
* *
- That's what I thought.
Um, we're good right now.
- Okay.
Well, they'll be over here
when you're ready.
- Uh-huh.
Mama, if we don't
get outta here,
this damn
pineapple upside-down cake
is not gonna be the only thing
upside down.
- Todd, I ain't going nowhere
without getting me
something to eat.
- Mama, what's wrong with you?
- Well, I love a party.
And all this food?
Mmm-mmm!
- Mama, this is
a damn swinger party.
You come in here,
you drop your keys in a bowl,
and whoever they pull out,
that's who you're
going upstairs with.
- Oh. Hmm.
That's why they called it
a swinger.
- Yeah!
Thanks to you
for being so damn busy
with this house rental,
I end up
at a swingers party
with my mother!
- [laughs]
- It's not funny.
So stop laughing.
I mean, all of this
is your fault.
- It is funny.
I mean,
Mr. I'm So Set in My Ways,
I Don't Need Friends,
I Don't Need Adventure.
I mean, you take one step
out the door
and you land
at a swingers party.
- Mama, we gotta
get out of here
before we end up as dessert.
Now, let's go.
- Oh, I gotta get my cake.
- Mama, to hell
with the cake.
- I'll take my cake with me.
- Hey. Leaving so soon?
- I left something in the car.
We'll be right back.
- Oh, cool. Mm-hmm.
- All right. Thank you.
[quirky music]
- You hold this cake
and I'm gonna get my pineapple.
- Mama, to hell
with the pineapples.
- I'ma get the pineapples.
- Mama--
- I'm not never
leaving 'em behind.
You crazy.
[gentle music]
- So what do you think, Mama?
- Oh, my gosh.
Ooh, I love it, Todd.
It is so cool and clean.
- Look how cute
the kitchen is, Chloe.
- What you think, Chlo?
- I like it.
- This is gonna be perfect
for our Instagram photos,
isn't it?
- Yeah.
[laughter]
- Julie, honey,
even though it's temporary,
you did a great job,
and I appreciate
you pulling it together for us.
- Well, thank you.
And I do think
it came together nicely,
and it'll be perfect
for our family.
I mean--
- That's right.
And the best part
about this neighborhood?
They keep their pineapples
in the refrigerator,
not on their porch.
- Ooh.
- I did hear about that.
[laughter]
Everybody knows the code.
- The code for what?
- For swinging.
It's a pineapple
on the front porch.
- No, everybody didn't know!
We didn't know.
- Well, I could've saved you
some trouble and told you.
- Listen, I just want
to apologize
that I wasn't able to go
and that I sent you
to that party.
At least with one time,
me being so busy,
it worked in my favor.
- You have no idea.
Well, enough talk
about the pineapples.
Let me show your room,
in case you want to come
spend the night with us.
- Well, you know I want to.
- I've got a place for you.
- Let's check it out.
- Show me my room.
- Mama, you're welcome here
anytime you ever feel lonely,
but just think about
