For example, he has been wanting to apply
to this environmental-law program,

but it took him months
just to open the application.

Sounds like everyone else believes in him.

{\an8}But it's one
of the healthiest greens you can eat.

00:07:28,908 --> 00:07:30,159
- [Antoni] Yeah, we do.
- Yeah.
167
00:07:30,159 --> 00:07:32,620
- We love an indoor setting.
- [Tan] Let's head to the house.
168
00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:34,163
- Bye, everybody.
- Bye.
169
00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:35,789
- Bye, friends.
- [Marianne] Thank you.
170
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:37,166
Come on, Michael. Let's go.

- [Antoni] Hello there.
- Hey, y'all. Welcome to my house.
177
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,596
Hey.
178
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:51,972
[Antoni] Honey, we're home.
179
00:07:51,972 --> 00:07:54,183
- We're home! Hi!
- I brought some friends.
180
00:07:54,183 --> 00:07:57,144
- Hi!
- Oh, a puppa!
181
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:58,938
- Hi, sweet pup!
- [Michael] That's my boy.
182
00:07:58,938 --> 00:08:00,064
- Hi.
- Hi, Kaila.
183
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:05,152
- The smell is almost oppressive.
- Ugh!
184
00:08:05,152 --> 00:08:06,654
[Jonathan] It is so ripe in here.
185
00:08:06,654 --> 00:08:10,241
I can smell the cats. I can smell the dog.
I don't wanna smell any of it.
186
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:14,328
- Oh yeah. That's broken.
- It definitely sinks in the middle.
187
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:17,915
- See, that one's a little bit higher than...
- Yeah, I feel like a little boy.
188
00:08:17,915 --> 00:08:19,500
[laughs]
189
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:23,003
I am a very active person.
190
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,547
I work out all the time.
191
00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:26,090
- You struggling to get up?
- Yeah.
192
00:08:26,090 --> 00:08:28,050
I cannot get out of this sofa.
193
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:29,343
Use your core.
194
00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:31,303
Thank you.
195
00:08:31,303 --> 00:08:32,346
That's a problem.
196
00:08:32,346 --> 00:08:35,182
- What is this?
- [Michael] That is my grow tent.
197
00:08:35,182 --> 00:08:37,184
- [Karamo] What is that?
- That's a grow house.
198
00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:38,686
You can grow plants inside.
199
00:08:38,686 --> 00:08:41,730
- I assume there's lights and humidity and...
- Yes, lights, a fan.
200
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:44,191
But in the gay world,
it does seem like a gay sex room.
201
00:08:44,191 --> 00:08:45,234
I'm just saying.
202
00:08:45,901 --> 00:08:46,777
- [laughs]
- Yeah.
203
00:08:46,777 --> 00:08:48,904
Oh my God. It's literally dead!
204
00:08:48,904 --> 00:08:50,990
[Michael]
It's been dead since Hurricane Ida.
205
00:08:50,990 --> 00:08:54,076
When I unzipped this thing,
it hits you like a box of rocks.
206
00:08:54,076 --> 00:08:57,329
{\an8}- [Jonathan] It's moldy, honey.
- Why haven't you cleaned this out?
207
00:08:57,329 --> 00:08:58,998
{\an8}It's depressing to clean it out
208
00:08:58,998 --> 00:09:01,208
{\an8}after all that stuff died
that you spent time--
209
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:03,669
Think how happy it would make you
to grow new things.
210
00:09:03,669 --> 00:09:05,212
- We do use it.
- When?
211
00:09:05,212 --> 00:09:07,881
My mom used to say,
"Don't bring the outside inside."
212
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:10,801
Clearly nobody
was telling Michael and Kaila that.
213
00:09:10,801 --> 00:09:12,970
- How do you feel about that, Kaila?
- I hate it.
214
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:14,471
[Bobby] Okay, that's what I thought.
215
00:09:15,848 --> 00:09:18,851
The open gas tank
makes me a little bit très nervous.
216
00:09:18,851 --> 00:09:21,854
- It hasn't been in here that long.
- You know what excuses are?
217
00:09:21,854 --> 00:09:26,108
They're tools of incompetence,
which build monuments of nothingness.
218
00:09:26,108 --> 00:09:29,612
And all I'm hearing is
excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse.
219
00:09:29,612 --> 00:09:32,364
We're gonna stop the excuses,
and that's your first lesson.
220
00:09:32,364 --> 00:09:34,241
Wow, that was a haiku.
221
00:09:37,036 --> 00:09:40,414
[Tan] I am very confused
'cause this space is actually very tidy.
222
00:09:40,414 --> 00:09:43,792
I can't understand
how you're so comfortable here with this.
223
00:09:43,792 --> 00:09:46,170
- But that--
- I'm not comfortable with that.
224
00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:48,631
- He, like, thrives in clutter.
- And I'm okay, like--
225
00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:50,090
- And I don't.
- Organized chaos.
226
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,176
Do you, though,
or are you just used to it?
227
00:09:52,176 --> 00:09:53,927
I'm used to organized chaos.
228
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:56,138
- That's language that has to go.
- Got to go!
229
00:09:56,138 --> 00:09:57,848
Got to go. You got to do better!
230
00:09:57,848 --> 00:09:59,600
All right, show us more.
231
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,893
This is our bedroom.
232
00:10:02,603 --> 00:10:05,147
- [Bobby] That's a hot picture of you.
- It's one of my favorites.
233
00:10:05,147 --> 00:10:07,107
[gags]
234
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,235
[Antoni] Oh, and they're moldy!
235
00:10:10,235 --> 00:10:13,739
- Why are these tomatoes in the fridge?!
- [Michael] It's compost.
236
00:10:13,739 --> 00:10:14,948
[Antoni] These poor babies.
237
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:18,077
[Karamo] I did not know
that tomatoes don't go in the fridge.
238
00:10:18,077 --> 00:10:19,411
[Antoni] They get gritty.
239
00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:21,121
That's our lizard, Spike.
240
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:22,414
[Tan] Oh wow.
241
00:10:22,414 --> 00:10:25,334
For me, I'm, like, a cat and dog person
in my house,
242
00:10:25,334 --> 00:10:26,752
but to each their own.
243
00:10:26,752 --> 00:10:28,337
Yay, bearded dragon.
244
00:10:28,337 --> 00:10:30,673
[Antoni] Oh my God. Oh my God. Whoa! Whoa!
245
00:10:31,632 --> 00:10:33,550
- Can I touch?
- [Bobby] That's a lizard, Antoni.
246
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:35,177
[Kaila] Yeah, you can hold him.
247
00:10:35,761 --> 00:10:36,804
Oh my God.
248
00:10:36,804 --> 00:10:38,389
[Antoni] Bearded dragon.
249
00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:39,973
The name is cute.
250
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,600
Tan, I'm just gonna stand here.
251
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,601
It's not cuddly.
252
00:10:42,601 --> 00:10:45,270
- [Karamo] You wanna touch? He's sweet.
- [Antoni] I'm good, thanks.
253
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:47,481
[Karamo] I'll take a reptile
in a heartbeat.
254
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:50,734
I think we're kindred spirits
because neither of us ever get cold.
255
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,654
Ooh. It just gives me the chill
when I think about it.
256
00:10:53,654 --> 00:10:55,239
And this is my closet.
257
00:10:55,239 --> 00:10:57,533
[Tan] I'm gonna take
a real good look in there.
258
00:10:57,533 --> 00:11:00,703
Clear out. I'm gonna look through
your closet. Don't mind me.
259
00:11:00,703 --> 00:11:03,330
- Oh, here's the bathroom.
- [Antoni] Tanny, do you need any help?
260
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:05,582
- You can stay and watch if you want.
- Okay.
261
00:11:05,582 --> 00:11:08,252
There's just dirt everywhere.
262
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,382
I like that. I'm not mad at that at all.
263
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:15,551
He's got some stuff I quite like.
264
00:11:15,551 --> 00:11:16,552
Love that.
265
00:11:17,052 --> 00:11:18,262
Nice. Happy with that.
266
00:11:18,262 --> 00:11:19,596
Hate that.
267
00:11:19,596 --> 00:11:22,516
- And then I toss it on the floor.
- Wait. Whoa! Why do you hate that?
268
00:11:22,516 --> 00:11:24,393
[Tan] 'Cause it's not cute.
269
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,437
Oh, there we go.
270
00:11:26,437 --> 00:11:28,230
[Tan] Gorgeous. You should slip into that.
271
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:31,567
I've got a feeling that he wears this
around the house for sexy time.
272
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:33,527
Okay, we're gonna put it
back on the hanger.
273
00:11:35,404 --> 00:11:37,406
Tell me about your home, like, growing up.
274
00:11:37,406 --> 00:11:39,074
Was it messy, or was it...
275
00:11:39,074 --> 00:11:40,951
- It was very chaotic, for sure.
- Yeah.
276
00:11:40,951 --> 00:11:43,537
{\an8}Mental health is very much
tied to your space.
277
00:11:43,537 --> 00:11:46,123
Like, the chaos around you
creates chaos in your mind.
278
00:11:46,123 --> 00:11:47,499
I'm a big believer in that.
279
00:11:47,499 --> 00:11:49,460
I wanna help organize the chaos a little.
280
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:50,544
[chuckles]
281
00:11:50,544 --> 00:11:52,087
I'm so fit.
282
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:53,255
This is hard.
283
00:11:53,255 --> 00:11:56,759
Oh my God. You actually have to sit down
to do this. Whoo.
284
00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:58,927
- [in Irish accent] ♪ Tanny boy ♪

287
00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:05,058
Hi, dear. Thank you so much.
288
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,059
Hi!
289
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:08,270
Michael, we've got so much to talk about.
290
00:12:08,270 --> 00:12:09,480
Is this you?
291
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,815
That was for a costume,
for a Prince costume.
292
00:12:11,815 --> 00:12:13,108
I think it's chic as hell.
293
00:12:13,108 --> 00:12:15,652
{\an8}Um, okay, you have got so much stuff
294
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:18,655
{\an8}that just feels so boring.
295
00:12:18,655 --> 00:12:19,656
Yeah.
296
00:12:19,656 --> 00:12:21,366
[Tan]
There's five different guys in there.
297
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:25,621
This is the same stuff I wore growing up
through junior high, high school.
298
00:12:25,621 --> 00:12:28,624
- This is so 15 years ago.
- Yeah.
299
00:12:28,624 --> 00:12:30,667
You can't possibly still be wearing this.
300
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:33,462
Um, I think I might have worn this,
like, a month or two ago?
301
00:12:33,462 --> 00:12:35,589
Did you feel good, sexy, cool?
302
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:36,757
Um...
303
00:12:36,757 --> 00:12:40,010
Not as cool as I feel in, like,
my more vibrant clothes, for sure.
304
00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:41,512
This can't be you.
305
00:12:41,512 --> 00:12:44,431
To be honest, I kinda don't wanna look
how I've been looking.
306
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:48,310
Tell me about life
outside of, um, the farm.
307
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:51,063
Are there styles you think,
"I wish I could look like that"?
308
00:12:51,063 --> 00:12:54,441
It would be like
Justin Timberlake, A$AP Rocky.
309
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:58,111
A$AP and Justin
and a lot of those guys in that world
310
00:12:58,111 --> 00:12:59,613
also blend masculine and feminine.
311
00:12:59,613 --> 00:13:01,073
- Yeah.
- How do you feel about that?
312
00:13:01,073 --> 00:13:03,700
I don't care about labels.
If it looks good, if it fits well,
313
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:05,244
that's all that really matters.
314
00:13:05,244 --> 00:13:07,663
Awesome. Okay.
I think I got what I needed to.
315
00:13:07,663 --> 00:13:08,747
A lot of meat.
316
00:13:15,629 --> 00:13:19,216
I'm noticing that Michael
has self-worth issues.
317
00:13:19,216 --> 00:13:21,969
Could you tell me a little bit
about what you've experienced
318
00:13:21,969 --> 00:13:23,053
with his self-worth?
319
00:13:23,053 --> 00:13:25,681
I just think
that he's really hard on himself.
320
00:13:25,681 --> 00:13:28,559
I think that he's kinda scared of failure,
321
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,604
and so he's scared to, like,
take the next leap into things.
322
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:33,772
[poignant music plays]
323
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:35,941
- I'm sorry.
- No worries.
324
00:13:37,276 --> 00:13:38,193
Take your time.
325
00:13:38,694 --> 00:13:39,820
He's been through a lot,
326
00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:43,198
and he feels as though
those things happened to him for a reason
327
00:13:43,198 --> 00:13:46,660
and that he doesn't deserve
good things in his life.
328
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:49,371
And he feels like
the world is out to get him a lot.
329
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,624
How do you do anything with your hair?
So beautiful.
330
00:13:52,624 --> 00:13:54,042
I don't do a whole lot.

I wanna make it clear,
461
00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:29,961
this is not what I think you should wear
to go and try and get funds.
462
00:19:29,961 --> 00:19:34,090
However, if we just tucked this in,
and we gave you a pair of trousers,
463
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:37,302
it's perfectly appropriate
'cause you are not 50. You're 30.
464
00:19:37,302 --> 00:19:40,513
If this was in my closet,
I'd wear these shorts and shirt a lot.
465
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:42,515
Your face ain't telling me that.
466
00:19:43,433 --> 00:19:47,771

we need to work on the swag a little bit.

483

not super businessy,

"Hey, I'm here to get shit done."

00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:30,689
Great.
486
00:20:30,689 --> 00:20:36,069

that needs to be let out...

Give a model version.
488
00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:39,656
...and you can do that with clothes.
489
00:20:39,656 --> 00:20:41,866

00:20:57,549 --> 00:21:00,343
- I'm so happy.
- I'm happy too.
498
00:21:00,343 --> 00:21:01,636
These clothes make me happy.
499
00:21:01,636 --> 00:21:06,016
Completely different than anything
that I've ever purchased or ever put on.
500
00:21:06,016 --> 00:21:09,686
I'm gonna work on getting something else,
many more things that will make sense.
501
00:21:09,686 --> 00:21:12,022
For now, let's get you
back into your regular clothes.
502
00:21:12,022 --> 00:21:14,024
- And let's get you outta here.
- Okay.
503
00:21:14,024 --> 00:21:15,692
So much more to work on.
504
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:17,569
I'm super excited for everything.
505
00:21:18,778 --> 00:21:20,405
[thunder rumbles]
506
00:21:22,907 --> 00:21:24,868
Oh, good old New Orleans rain.
507
00:21:24,868 --> 00:21:26,077
Yes, gotta love it.
508
00:21:26,077 --> 00:21:28,955
It was really important
to bring Michael here today...
509
00:21:28,955 --> 00:21:30,081
Hi!
510
00:21:30,081 --> 00:21:35,128
...because I can relate
to not putting yourself out there
511
00:21:35,128 --> 00:21:38,882
because you kinda won't let go
of the past.
512
00:21:38,882 --> 00:21:42,260
- I heard that there is a graduate program...
- Yes.
513
00:21:42,260 --> 00:21:44,095
...that you've been wanting to get into.
514
00:21:44,095 --> 00:21:46,056
Yes. This is the credentials that I need
515
00:21:46,056 --> 00:21:48,475
to be able to move up
into the executive world.
516
00:21:48,475 --> 00:21:52,771
I feel like maybe
your not doing the application
517
00:21:52,771 --> 00:21:55,523
might stem
from a little fear of failure, maybe?
518
00:21:55,523 --> 00:21:57,525
Even though my boss, who runs the program,
519
00:21:57,525 --> 00:21:59,611
is like, "You need to chill.
You'll be fine,"
520
00:21:59,611 --> 00:22:01,488
the part that I haven't done is a part
521
00:22:01,488 --> 00:22:03,948
where I have to,
like, write an essay about myself.
522
00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:06,242
And 'cause I'm sort of ashamed
of those things,
523
00:22:06,242 --> 00:22:09,662
someone rejecting me because of that,
even if that's not why,
524
00:22:09,662 --> 00:22:11,706
that's what I'm gonna think
is the reason why,
525
00:22:11,706 --> 00:22:14,751
and that's just gonna reinforce
me feeling like a piece of shit.
526
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:19,005
I hear you. I mean, I loved school,
and for me, it didn't work out.
527
00:22:19,005 --> 00:22:21,091
You know, I left home at 15,
528
00:22:21,091 --> 00:22:23,968
so I still don't have a GED
or a high-school diploma.
529
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:27,180
But I spent a big part of my life
being very ashamed of that
530
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:29,015
and letting that hold me back
531
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:32,519
because I felt that I... I failed.
532
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:35,146
- [Michael] Yeah.
- And I really let it define me.
533
00:22:35,146 --> 00:22:38,942
It still makes me uncomfortable,
um, so I understand that.
534
00:22:38,942 --> 00:22:42,570
Even though it's something I really want,
that doubt just always wins,
535
00:22:42,570 --> 00:22:44,781
and it just stops me
from doing a lot of things.
536
00:22:44,781 --> 00:22:47,492
But you are worthy,
and you are good enough,
537
00:22:47,492 --> 00:22:54,207
and you know how to make things work
outside of the normal way of doing things,
538
00:22:54,207 --> 00:22:56,126
which... Look around in the world.
539
00:22:56,126 --> 00:22:59,629
Those are the people
that aren't just cogs.
540
00:22:59,629 --> 00:23:02,757
And it's the people
that aren't afraid to try things
541
00:23:02,757 --> 00:23:04,634
that are gonna be the biggest successes.
542
00:23:05,427 --> 00:23:08,680
- So I wanna pull up the application today.
- Okay.
543
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,306
And I want you and I to finish it.
544
00:23:10,306 --> 00:23:11,307
- [Michael] Okay.
- Okay?
545
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:14,144
[energetic music plays]
546
00:23:23,778 --> 00:23:26,531
The final portion of this,
what is the question?
547
00:23:26,531 --> 00:23:29,284
Filling in the gaps in my education.
548
00:23:29,284 --> 00:23:31,828
How do you plan on elaborating on that?
549
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:34,581
I left school
because I was just extremely depressed.
550
00:23:34,581 --> 00:23:37,792
I didn't feel really comfortable
living by myself anymore.
551
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:39,669
And so I was like,
"I'm gonna go back home."
552
00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:42,964
I was just going to school just to go.
I wasn't doing any work.
553
00:23:42,964 --> 00:23:45,467
- Just because you're supposed to.
- Right, exactly.
554
00:23:45,467 --> 00:23:47,427
And then, yeah, I just worked.
555
00:23:47,427 --> 00:23:51,556
I think that probably you're worried
that they're judging the reasons why.
556
00:23:51,556 --> 00:23:54,267
And I even feel like
my experience isn't valid
557
00:23:54,267 --> 00:23:56,269
and no one will take me seriously.
558
00:23:56,769 --> 00:23:59,481
Yeah. How long have you wanted to do this?
559
00:23:59,481 --> 00:24:01,107
Um, the master's program?
560
00:24:01,107 --> 00:24:04,402
It started a few years ago,
maybe, like, two or three years ago.
561
00:24:04,402 --> 00:24:07,447
As soon as she saw this, she was like,
"You should consider taking this."
562
00:24:07,447 --> 00:24:10,992
"You know what you have to do first?
You have to get your bachelor's."
563
00:24:10,992 --> 00:24:13,286
I was like,
"Yeah, I have to get that done."
564
00:24:13,286 --> 00:24:17,624
And so, uh, we started making moves
for me to be able to go back to school.
565
00:24:17,624 --> 00:24:20,585
Yeah. Let me just
point something out to you.
566
00:24:21,461 --> 00:24:23,505
Marianne believes in you.
567
00:24:24,005 --> 00:24:25,798
Stop doubting yourself.
568
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:27,008
- I know it's hard.
- Yeah.
569
00:24:27,008 --> 00:24:31,679
That... that little demon of self-doubt
in people who come from nothing,
570
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:33,598
who have been told they'll be nothing,
571
00:24:33,598 --> 00:24:37,018
who have been told
they're gonna end up in jail,
572
00:24:37,018 --> 00:24:39,020
um, end up in the gutter.
573
00:24:39,020 --> 00:24:42,565
- It's hard to reprogram yourself.
- [Michael] It is.
574
00:24:42,565 --> 00:24:45,318
It's really hard
'cause it's 30 years of being this way.
575
00:24:45,318 --> 00:24:47,904
Every time something good happens to me,
I get extremely anxious.
576
00:24:47,904 --> 00:24:51,032
I'm like, "All right, something bad
has to come immediately after,
577
00:24:51,032 --> 00:24:52,575
and it's just gonna crush me,
578
00:24:52,575 --> 00:24:54,869
and I'm like,
"Don't get your hopes up too high."
579
00:24:54,869 --> 00:24:57,997
"Prepare yourself 'cause it's coming.
Something bad is coming."
580
00:24:57,997 --> 00:25:02,961
When you start to feel that way,
take a step back, take a breath.
581
00:25:02,961 --> 00:25:06,798
Be like, "Wait a minute.
The people around me believe in me."
582
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:08,007
"Maybe they're right."
583
00:25:08,007 --> 00:25:09,551
- Yeah.
- [Bobby] You know?
584
00:25:09,551 --> 00:25:13,972
I can see him starting to kind of have
some lights going on
585
00:25:13,972 --> 00:25:19,435
and being like,
"Huh. I've been the one holding me back
586
00:25:19,435 --> 00:25:21,854
because I felt I wasn't enough."
587
00:25:21,854 --> 00:25:22,939
"But you know what?"
588
00:25:22,939 --> 00:25:24,983
"Damn it, I am enough."
589
00:25:24,983 --> 00:25:26,776
I mean, I think this is great.
590
00:25:26,776 --> 00:25:31,322
I think you really explained it
in a way that people will understand,
591
00:25:31,322 --> 00:25:36,411
and everyone's journey to the destination
is not a straight line.
592
00:25:36,411 --> 00:25:37,537
- Yeah.
- You know?
593
00:25:37,537 --> 00:25:38,788
Straight lines are boring.
594
00:25:39,831 --> 00:25:42,041
- [laughing]
- [Karamo vocalizing]
595
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:44,043
The party is here, baby!
596
00:25:44,794 --> 00:25:45,795
Hey!
597
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:49,424
- How are you?
- He just finished his application.
598
00:25:49,424 --> 00:25:52,260
Hold on, bitch. You cannot
have just finished the application
599
00:25:52,260 --> 00:25:55,096
that has literally been taking you
so much time
600
00:25:55,096 --> 00:25:56,180
and be this calm.
601
00:25:56,180 --> 00:25:59,767
I'm trying to shift that emotion,
that anxiousness, to excitement.
602
00:26:00,351 --> 00:26:01,811
We gonna shift it like this.
603
00:26:01,811 --> 00:26:03,563
[vocalizing]
604
00:26:03,563 --> 00:26:04,480
Yeah.
605
00:26:05,273 --> 00:26:07,191
- [Karamo] Yeah, Bobby!
- Okay. All right.
606
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:10,486
So at the end of this week,
it was a garden party at the farm,
607
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:14,490
but obviously, it's raining a lot,
and we don't think it's gonna stop.
608
00:26:14,490 --> 00:26:16,409
So we're gonna have
the event for you here.
609
00:26:16,409 --> 00:26:17,493
- What?
- [Bobby] Yeah.
610
00:26:17,493 --> 00:26:19,454
- Open up our place.
- This place is dope.
611
00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:22,373
We're taking off the stress.
We want this to be a huge success.
612
00:26:22,373 --> 00:26:25,209
- And we want you to focus on your future.
- Thank you so much.
613
00:26:25,209 --> 00:26:26,461
- Love you.
- Thank you.
614
00:26:27,378 --> 00:26:29,380
[upbeat music plays]
615
00:26:40,642 --> 00:26:44,312
[Karamo] I've brought you here.
I wanted a vibing place for us
616
00:26:44,312 --> 00:26:46,481
where it wouldn't be hustle and bustle,
617
00:26:46,481 --> 00:26:48,441
and I feel you feel
more comfortable outside.
618
00:26:48,441 --> 00:26:51,152
I mean,
I can get comfortable wherever, you know.
619
00:26:51,152 --> 00:26:52,111
I adapt.
620
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:53,279
You know what that is?
621
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:57,784
That's a little boy saying, "I don't know
what's going to happen to me tomorrow."
622
00:26:58,368 --> 00:27:00,119
- But that's also a survival mechanism.
- Yeah.
623
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,455
What parts of your childhood
were the most out of control?
624
00:27:02,455 --> 00:27:04,499
What are the memories
that stick out to you?
625
00:27:05,667 --> 00:27:07,794
I don't even know.
There's so many memories.
626
00:27:07,794 --> 00:27:10,088
Like, so many late-night drives,
627
00:27:10,088 --> 00:27:13,299
so many times being parked
in super sketchy neighborhoods
628
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:15,677
having to be just alone.
629
00:27:15,677 --> 00:27:19,222
It was nuts. You had no idea
what the next day was gonna bring you.
630
00:27:19,222 --> 00:27:21,683
You didn't know...
what was dinner gonna be like?
631
00:27:21,683 --> 00:27:22,850
Are you gonna have dinner?
632
00:27:22,850 --> 00:27:24,977
They're memories
I don't like to think about.
633
00:27:24,977 --> 00:27:26,437
Where was your mom during that?
634
00:27:26,437 --> 00:27:29,691
There was a point
where I tried to live with my mom,
635
00:27:29,691 --> 00:27:31,359
and the answer was just no.
636
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,320
That was probably one of the worst times
of my life, for sure.
637
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,447
Like, I'd rather
not talk about these things
638
00:27:36,447 --> 00:27:37,865
'cause I'm, like, I'm over it.
639
00:27:37,865 --> 00:27:40,576
But you're not over it.
It's affecting your everyday life.
640
00:27:40,576 --> 00:27:43,371
Like, you go through it,
and you come out okay.
641
00:27:43,371 --> 00:27:45,581
- So I tell myself, like...
- But... No, no, no.
642
00:27:45,581 --> 00:27:48,292
That little boy needed somebody
to be there for him,
643
00:27:48,292 --> 00:27:49,627
protect him, and love him
644
00:27:49,627 --> 00:27:53,089
and tell him that he deserves
a better future than what he was given.
645
00:27:53,089 --> 00:27:55,091
You got rejected
as a child by your mother.
646
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:58,052
How does it make you feel?
I don't wanna hear, "I'm okay with it."
647
00:27:58,052 --> 00:28:00,304
I wouldn't be
having a conversation with you
648
00:28:00,304 --> 00:28:02,014
if it was not affecting you.
649
00:28:02,014 --> 00:28:03,558
I mean, it hurts a lot.
650
00:28:03,558 --> 00:28:06,477
I just think to myself,
like, "Why bring it up?"
651
00:28:06,477 --> 00:28:08,855
If something is buried
and it's not tended to,
652
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:11,482
does it ever flourish through the ground?
653
00:28:11,983 --> 00:28:14,318
- Does it ever bloom to its full capacity?
- No.
654
00:28:14,318 --> 00:28:16,863
You're that seed underground
that needs to blossom,
655
00:28:16,863 --> 00:28:19,907
that wants to have the life they deserve.
You're not allowing yourself
656
00:28:19,907 --> 00:28:22,577
because you say,
"What's the point of bringing it up?"
657
00:28:22,577 --> 00:28:24,996
The point of bringing it up
is so that you can grow.
658
00:28:24,996 --> 00:28:25,955
There's a saying,
659
00:28:25,955 --> 00:28:30,418
just because it's not your fault
doesn't mean it's not your responsibility.
660
00:28:31,043 --> 00:28:33,379
Talking to Jason... I'm talking to Jas...
661
00:28:33,379 --> 00:28:35,381
Why do I keep saying Jason? [chuckles]
662
00:28:35,965 --> 00:28:38,176
Hold on, because he reminds me
of my son Jason.
663
00:28:38,176 --> 00:28:39,927
That's what that Freudian slip was.
664
00:28:39,927 --> 00:28:43,389
Michael reminds me of my sons,
and I just feel like that's why I'm here,
665
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:45,600
to show him how he can get past this
666
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,393
and give him some extra support.
667
00:28:47,393 --> 00:28:50,271
So I actually invited
a couple of friends here...
668
00:28:50,271 --> 00:28:51,272
Okay.
669
00:28:51,272 --> 00:28:54,025
...who are from 100 Black Men.
Have you ever heard of that?
670
00:28:54,025 --> 00:28:54,984
I brought them here
671
00:28:54,984 --> 00:28:57,695
because some of them
have gone through similar experiences.
672
00:28:57,695 --> 00:29:00,656
One of them was my direct mentor
when I was your age.
673
00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:02,617
- How do you feel about that?
- Um...
674
00:29:03,576 --> 00:29:04,660
I'm just nervous.
675
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:09,123
Wouldn't it be nice to talk to somebody
and say, "I need support"?
676
00:29:09,123 --> 00:29:11,417
It's not something I've done
for most of my life.
677
00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:13,586
I don't ask for help.
I just get it done myself.
678
00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:16,130
The 100 Black Men of New Orleans
is a mentoring program
679
00:29:16,130 --> 00:29:19,217
that supports young African Americans,
which is why I've asked them
680
00:29:19,217 --> 00:29:20,968
to come here today and meet Michael.
681
00:29:20,968 --> 00:29:23,679
I want Michael to know
that he has support in the community
682
00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:25,348
that's available to him.
683
00:29:25,348 --> 00:29:29,769
I asked you if you ever met somebody
who is Native American and Black.
684
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:31,229
This man right here.
685
00:29:31,229 --> 00:29:33,689
I'm a member
of the United Nation of Houma Indians.
686
00:29:33,689 --> 00:29:36,567
{\an8}I'm executive director of the New Orleans
Regional Black Chamber of Commerce.
687
00:29:36,567 --> 00:29:39,529
{\an8}I'm the president of 100 Black Men
Metro New Orleans chapter.
688
00:29:39,529 --> 00:29:41,572
{\an8}I already told you about the gentleman,
689
00:29:41,572 --> 00:29:44,450
{\an8}so Darrell was there for me
as I found out I was a father,
690
00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:48,162
gave me a job, gave me support,
just allowed me to feel safe.
691
00:29:48,162 --> 00:29:50,915
This is not just meeting,
having an interaction
692
00:29:50,915 --> 00:29:54,418
of, like, you saying, "Let's meet you,"
and then y'all don't go anywhere.
693
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:57,338
This has to be some people
you can talk to and you can turn to.
694
00:29:57,338 --> 00:30:02,009
And remember that yesterday is history.
Tomorrow's a mystery.
695
00:30:02,009 --> 00:30:03,386
All you have is right now.
696
00:30:03,386 --> 00:30:06,430
Anxiety kicks in when you don't know
what's gonna happen tomorrow?
697
00:30:06,430 --> 00:30:07,974
- [Michael] Yeah.
- Forget all about it.
698
00:30:07,974 --> 00:30:10,476
You're sitting with your boys now.
Yeah, relax.
699
00:30:10,476 --> 00:30:13,604
Always thinking about the past,
trying to prepare for the future.
700
00:30:13,604 --> 00:30:16,107
- That is a hundred percent me.
- Everybody does that.
701
00:30:16,107 --> 00:30:18,359
People just get help with mechanisms
to deal with that.
702
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:20,361
So this has to feel different for you.
703
00:30:20,361 --> 00:30:21,612
Have you ever had spaces
704
00:30:21,612 --> 00:30:25,825
where you've been around
just a group of Black men
705
00:30:25,825 --> 00:30:27,952
who are saying,
"We're here to support you"?
706
00:30:27,952 --> 00:30:29,078
No, never.
707
00:30:30,371 --> 00:30:31,289
I will say, no, I...
708
00:30:31,289 --> 00:30:33,624
Like, it's uncomfortable,
but not in a bad way.
709
00:30:33,624 --> 00:30:35,751
I've just always felt very lost.
710
00:30:35,751 --> 00:30:39,130
If you just keep doing you,
the right people will find you.
711
00:30:39,130 --> 00:30:40,506
You're never alone.
712
00:30:40,506 --> 00:30:43,551
Having to constantly explain myself
and not always having the answers,
713
00:30:43,551 --> 00:30:45,052
most of the time not having answers,
714
00:30:45,052 --> 00:30:48,222
just kinda, like, puts you
in this downward spiral.
715
00:30:48,222 --> 00:30:51,225
Going back to school
in New Orleans after Katrina was...
716
00:30:51,225 --> 00:30:52,226
That wasn't happening.
717
00:30:52,226 --> 00:30:55,396
I was not gonna go to one of
these high schools set up like a prison.
718
00:30:55,396 --> 00:30:56,606
Once I got the GED...
719
00:30:56,606 --> 00:30:59,191
Getting into college is really hard
when you have a GED.
720
00:30:59,191 --> 00:31:02,111
Once I got in,
they made me take extra courses
721
00:31:02,111 --> 00:31:03,446
because I don't have a diploma.
722
00:31:03,446 --> 00:31:04,447
You did all that?
723
00:31:04,447 --> 00:31:06,866
I just graduated
with my bachelor's in sociology.
724
00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:08,451
- [Eric] Yeah!
- Thank you.
725
00:31:08,451 --> 00:31:10,620
But in spite of all that,
you did all that.
726
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:12,663
- And you graduated.
- Just graduated, yeah.
727
00:31:12,663 --> 00:31:14,916
- All right, let's turn the page.
- There you go.
728
00:31:14,916 --> 00:31:16,792
What do you wanna do next? What's next?
729
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:20,171
Next is going to Loyola to do
their Master of Environmental Law program.
730
00:31:20,171 --> 00:31:22,048
- [Jon] Very nice.
- Because you wanna do what?
731
00:31:22,048 --> 00:31:24,592
Be executive director
of the nonprofit I work for.
732
00:31:24,592 --> 00:31:26,177
[Jon] Your journey ain't over.
733
00:31:26,177 --> 00:31:28,596
You're still learning.
You're still going forward.
734
00:31:28,596 --> 00:31:30,139
You know, you're a pioneer.
735
00:31:30,139 --> 00:31:32,808
You might not call yourself that,
but that's what you are.
736
00:31:32,808 --> 00:31:34,268
You're practicing pioneership.
737
00:31:34,268 --> 00:31:36,938
- Ever been called a pioneer?
- Never thought of myself that way.
738
00:31:36,938 --> 00:31:39,398
That's a great way
to describe you, a pioneer.
739
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:42,860
And the thing to remember is,
in spite of what you're going through,
740
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:44,403
some kid is watching.
741
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:45,321
[Jon] Yes.
742
00:31:47,573 --> 00:31:48,407
[Michael] Uh-oh.
743
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:53,204
- What's going on?
- I'm good.
744
00:31:53,204 --> 00:31:54,914
- You sure?
- Trying to be present.
745
00:31:54,914 --> 00:31:56,791
- And not in my head.
- [Karamo] Okay.
746
00:31:56,791 --> 00:32:02,088
It's weird for me to, like, be this person
that's, like, out in the community
747
00:32:02,088 --> 00:32:04,507
and actively trying
to get more Black people into growing
748
00:32:04,507 --> 00:32:06,759
and organize
and, like, create spaces like this,
749
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:10,012
but to feel weird in them
because I have never been in them.
750
00:32:10,012 --> 00:32:13,182
I'm usually the only person of color
in a lot of rooms I go into.
751
00:32:13,182 --> 00:32:16,227
Most of the time, I'm the only
person of color in the room I'm in,
752
00:32:16,227 --> 00:32:18,980
and that's been that way
for a long time, in my life.
753
00:32:18,980 --> 00:32:21,774
That's power.
You can redirect that as a power move.
754
00:32:21,774 --> 00:32:23,567
You can't lead if you ain't uncomfortable.
755
00:32:23,567 --> 00:32:26,445
You growing in ways
you probably don't even realize, man.
756
00:32:26,445 --> 00:32:29,073
- Just... just being present.
- Wow.
757
00:32:29,073 --> 00:32:32,576
All the stuff you were talking about
is so valid. It's about reframing it.
758
00:32:32,576 --> 00:32:35,454
No matter what you do,
you will be the first one to do that.
759
00:32:35,454 --> 00:32:36,998
[Eric] Bossed up, you know.
760
00:32:36,998 --> 00:32:39,333
When you wake up,
look yourself the eye and be like,
761
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:43,379
"I'm a pioneer, and I'm a boss,"
and smile and be like, "I'm a boss."
762
00:32:43,379 --> 00:32:45,673
- Say it.
- Yeah. I'm a pioneer, and I'm a boss.
763
00:32:45,673 --> 00:32:49,802
- I like that. You look like you meant it.
- [Eric] Look at his eyes, that smile!
764
00:32:49,802 --> 00:32:51,470
- Yeah!
- [Karamo] Exactly.
765
00:32:54,724 --> 00:32:58,310
[Bobby] Knowing a lot of the things
that Michael went through in the past,
766
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:04,525
he probably hasn't had a lot of guidance
on how to set up your home to really grow.
767
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:06,610
[upbeat music plays]
768
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:08,612
[Bobby]
That's exactly what I've done for Michael.
769
00:33:08,612 --> 00:33:13,534
I have turned his home into a place
that is not filled with work,
770
00:33:13,534 --> 00:33:17,163
but filled solely with things
to recharge and renew.
771
00:33:17,163 --> 00:33:19,248
[funky music plays]
772
00:33:29,592 --> 00:33:33,637
Oh my God, we're here
at this gorgeous salon.
773
00:33:35,431 --> 00:33:36,849
Come on in. Take a seat.
774
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,352
- Hello, gorgeous.
- Hey.
775
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:42,438
How do you function
776
00:33:42,438 --> 00:33:45,483
being this handsome
every day of your life?
777
00:33:45,483 --> 00:33:48,486
- [Michael] I just wake up.
- Just walking around, looking this cute?
778
00:33:48,486 --> 00:33:49,904
Yeah, I woke up like this.
779
00:33:49,904 --> 00:33:51,906
I need to get you a chiropractor
780
00:33:51,906 --> 00:33:56,035
from carrying all the weight
of this handsomeness on your back.
781
00:33:56,035 --> 00:33:57,411
- Can I touch your hair?
- Yes.
782
00:33:57,411 --> 00:33:58,788
Okay, I'm gonna get in here.
783
00:33:59,705 --> 00:34:01,540
Oh yes, honey.
784
00:34:02,374 --> 00:34:04,043
You are so cute.
785
00:34:04,043 --> 00:34:05,711
You're pretty cute yourself.
786
00:34:05,711 --> 00:34:06,921
Thank you, honey.
787
00:34:07,671 --> 00:34:11,926
Am I blushing because Michael
is kind of, like, flirting back with me?
788
00:34:12,843 --> 00:34:13,677
No!
789
00:34:13,677 --> 00:34:16,180
I'm not, Michael.
790
00:34:16,180 --> 00:34:17,890
I'm very happy
791
00:34:17,890 --> 00:34:20,559
that, for someone who's doing so much
for your community...
792
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:23,270
Your heart is so big.
I'm obsessed with what you're doing.
793
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:27,191
Sometimes I feel like people
who are very hot are bad people.
794
00:34:27,191 --> 00:34:28,734
- You know? And that's annoying.
- Yeah.
795
00:34:28,734 --> 00:34:31,904
Michael has identified
his purpose and passion in life.
796
00:34:31,904 --> 00:34:34,907
His priority has not been
how to take care of his hair.
797
00:34:35,407 --> 00:34:38,160
So I wanna retain his length,
but give him what?
798
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,745
Shape. You guessed it.
799
00:34:39,745 --> 00:34:42,248
So I definitely want fro.
800
00:34:42,748 --> 00:34:44,416
- I'm gonna cut some of it dry.
- Okay.
801
00:34:44,416 --> 00:34:46,043
Then I'm gonna wash it.
802
00:34:46,627 --> 00:34:49,588
How much time are you willing to give,
like, in the morning?
803
00:34:49,588 --> 00:34:52,299
My morning routine is pretty lax.
804
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:55,970
It's something else
that I've tried to incorporate,
805
00:34:55,970 --> 00:34:59,431
some type of, like, satin head wrap
to keep my curls together.
806
00:34:59,431 --> 00:35:01,934
Your lips to God's ears, honey.
807
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:03,936
We should just do, like, a full-on bonnet.
808
00:35:03,936 --> 00:35:08,440
You're someone who is not buying into
these, like, historical gender norms.
809
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,276
- No, not at all.
- Let's do a bonnet.
810
00:35:11,026 --> 00:35:12,820
- Yeah.
- Mm.
811
00:35:12,820 --> 00:35:14,071
I love that Michael
812
00:35:14,071 --> 00:35:17,116
does not have time for these rigid ideas
around the gender binary.
813
00:35:17,116 --> 00:35:18,909
He wants to rock his long hair,
814
00:35:18,909 --> 00:35:21,120
and releasing some of that weight
from his ends
815
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,040
is gonna make his coils
so springy, so bouncy. Let's go!
816
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:27,793
- Hi. How are you?
- Nice to meet you. I'm Darren.
817
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:31,881
Nice to meet you. What I wanna do on him,
I just really wanna clean this part up.
818
00:35:31,881 --> 00:35:33,299
- Just, like...
- All right.
819
00:35:33,299 --> 00:35:36,510
And then I just wanna take all this off.
Okay, so you're ready?
820
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:37,887
- I'm ready.
- [Jonathan] Do it.
821
00:35:40,139 --> 00:35:42,308
- So we're knocking it all off?
- [Jonathan] Get rid of it.

Why? Do you think
that that's a terrible mistake?

what you're gonna do

is you're just gonna walk in

This is still professional.

- Thank you for breaking the norm!

- I would not be upset about it.
- Not at all.
971

Lift with your lower back,
never your knees.
