[Astrid] Night, Felix.
Aight, my love. I am out.
- [Astrid] Whoa, whoa. Where are you going?
We're about to finish Season Two of Breaking Bad.
- We finished Season Two last night.
- Did we? - [James] Yeah.
Remember the plane crash and the freaky teddy bear?
I teared up and told you I loved you.
- Oh, yeah. That was so nice.
- Where are you going? - Fantasy baseball.
Ugh!
- I told you, this is the pre-draft drink night.
- Wait, pre-dra--? It's not even the real thing.
And did you just hang out with Brian?
- Bumped into him at a gas station?
Okay. Is everything all right, my love?
What's the problem?
[sighs]
I'm jealous, you see, because I am here sanitizing soothers,
and you're off living your wildest fantasies.
- If I were living my wildest fantasies,
I'd be friends with a wolf.
- Interesting. - Mm-hmm.
- Didn't we used to take turns going out?
- That is true. But then you just kind of stop taking your turn.
Which, to be fair, feels like a you problem
more than a me problem.
- Why can't you not just feel bad for me?
- Mm-hmm.
You're right. You should go. You should go.
We're not even making picks tonight.
- You should get out of here. - Aren't you the league...?
I want to say Dungeon Master.
- Close. Co-commissioner, with Ennis, who will be there.
Also, I'm not wearing my commissioner suit,
which is like, ugh, Ennis is gonna make a whole thing--
Go. Get out of here.

No, it's just...

[scoffs] You know I didn't have any friends.
Weren't you in band?

- Well, I've lost touch with everyone.
At least James has his fantasy friends.

Oh! Gross.

We could move to a bigger, less expensive,

I sent you some of those things.
You know, maybe we should move.
I don't know anyone here anymore.
All my school friends moved away.
My work friends moved on when I had Viv.

Um, there are millions of people

No, we're totally fine.

Sorry, family stuff came up.

Marla joined the fun.

Wouldn't be funny this year we wore something like,
um, jeans and golf shirts.
You lost the suit.
- Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it's in my basement

- Well, the good news is we can all help you look for it
because the draft is happening at your house.
- What? No. But I have a baby and kids
and, I don't know, probably pink eye.
- You need to start picking up the slack,
or the only thing we're going to be drafting
is a co-commissioner article of impeachment.
- Now we outlawed impeachment to protect ourselves.
What about Marla's place?

I'll even bring my six-layer dip.
Ooh. Maybe even seven.

- Personal reasons. - Oh, no. That's...
too bad.
Anyway, my scouting has been off the last couple of years,
and, you know, since you can't make it,
I was just wondering
if you could maybe give me a couple of pointers.
I shouldn't.
But if you're dancing with the devil
and I'm merely the choreographer,

- Uh, I was not fully aware of what appears
to be a very dark history.

What is happening?
Who wants [indistinct]?
- Send me a list of unavailable keepers
and number of teams and I'll mock-draft you a winner.

Yeah, I gotta go.
I'm supposed to be with Felix playing,
but only within our limits and for fun.
Totally.
