Jim, I have brought your children
back home safe and sound.
Excellent. I hope everybody's hungry.
I have a homemade lasagna,
straight from the Stop & Shop freezer section.
Dad, I know I've been away all day,
but can I go to Cody's?
There's a "Fortnite" tourney.
Plus, Cody's mom makes food that was never frozen.
Sure. Have fun.
Dad, I know that you went through a lot of trouble
to make the money that bought that lasagna,
but Katie invited me for a sleepover.
It was great spending a quality 35 seconds
with both of you today.
Dad, I hope you're hungry.
Thanks, Jim, but I got a date with Rose tonight.
We're gonna Netflix and chill.
You know that means have sex?
I do.
I was trying to be discreet.
Well, there's no need for this to go to waste.
If you wanna take some to Rose, you can.
Yes!
Rose can't call me cheap anymore.
Can you spare a bottle of wine?
Sure. Take one of those.
Thanks.
I should probably grab one for Rose too.
Always thinking of others.
So, uh, you and Rose are getting serious?
As of last night, we've made love six and a half times.
That really amazes me to hear a fraction.
Too bad you don't have a date lined up for tonight, Jim.
You know, it's never been easier.
I'm on seven different dating apps now.
Does Rose know that?
She's on nine.
At our age, you gotta have a deep bench.
Well, those dating apps.
I-I like meeting women out in the wild.
You know, everybody on dating apps is looking for a date.
I wanna meet someone who's not looking for a date,
but who finds one anyway.
I'm not just saying this because I'm your father.
Somebody out there would be lucky to settle for you.
Kids, let's go!
Enjoy your sleepovers, everyone.
Oh. [chuckles]
You know I will.
Tonight, we're gonna try to go from six and a half
to seven.
You wanna know how?
I desperately, desperately do not.

Chilly in here, huh?
Oh, I know.
I just saw a family of four hugging a rotisserie chicken
to stay warm.
[laughing]
I like those prAna pants.
Do you do yoga?
I do not do yoga.
And I had no idea they were yoga pants.
I got them from Julia, and I wear them
because they are deliciously buttery soft.
Look, I don't want to lie to this woman,
but on the other hand, I feel like, you know,
I might have a little nibble on the line here,
and I don't wanna scare off the fish--
which I realize is an outdated metaphor,
reducing a human being to something
that can be, essentially, hunted with a worm.
But since I've already used it,
I got a live one.
Uh... [chuckles]
Do I do yoga?
Seems like everyone's doing yoga now.
Not a lie. I repeated a question
and stated a fact.
It's nice to run into a yogi
in the barren wasteland of frozen food.
I keep telling myself I should remain in produce,
but oh, these chicken pot pies.
Oh, you have--cheers.
[both laugh]
You ever go to the Blissful Elephant studio?
No, but, uh, I've definitely heard about it.
Also not a lie.
She just said it, and I just heard it.
Where do you practice?
Giggling Goat. Yoga Hut.
I know-- you're a Dancing Shiva dude.
[laughs] That--that is a great guess.
I assume.
What's your favorite class over there?
Ah, I really can't say. [chuckles]
And I really couldn't say
because I had no idea what I was talking about.
Who's your favorite teacher?
Mm, names.
Oh, God, I'm so bad with names.
Um...
names are--are just clothing for the soul.
That's deep. You sound like a true yogi.
Thank you.
Uh, my Western name is Jim.
But my soul will answer to anything
delivered with kindness.
Oh.
Kristen.
Oh.
It was nice to--
If you ever wanna try Blissful Elephant,
I'm there Sundays at 9:00 a.m.
Oh, all right. 9:00 a.m. Sunday.
You know, I'm-- I'll start stretching now.
Great. I-I--
I don't wanna sound too woo-woo,
but this class has really changed
my conversation with the world.
You know, that is not woo-woo.
That's--that's wahoo.
You know, me and the world, we can talk all night.
You know, yap, yap, yap. No, you go, world.
No, you go, Jim. [high-pitched laugh]
You're hysterical, Jim. No you, world!
Ha ha!
I-I really hope I see you at the Elephant on Sunday.
Maybe I'll bring my friend, the world.
Okay.
Kearney got a bite.
[grunting]
Should I call 911?
Yeah, and tell them you entered without knocking.
Sorry, I left my license on the dresser.
Are you doing yoga?
I am.
Turns out I have a gift for the stretchy art.
- What's her name? - Kristen.
We were flirting at NutriNook.
So I'm gonna meet her for yoga on Sunday
at the Blissful Elephant at 9:00 a.m.
Unreal.
For years, I tried to get you to do yoga,
and you chose watching baseball,
golf, and napping every time.
The couch is an ever-beckoning mistress.
And the TV is her trampy best friend.
And I don't recall you ever asking me to do yoga.
Oh.
I have proof.
Proof? Were you wearing a wire?
Ha!
Remember this book?
"Hold Me Close: A Marital Guide to Reignite Passion"?
Definitely not.
The book encouraged us to make a list of some things
you wish your spouse would do to restore
the bonds of your marriage.
Wait, you actually did that?
Yes!
[scoffs]
Uh...
okay, here it is.
Number 26: "I wish Jim did yoga with me."
So you're saying that if I had done yoga back then,
I'd be prepared for this date?
Kristen's gonna know that
I've never done yoga before, isn't she?
I'm sure she's not expecting you
to be some great yogi.
Well, she may have gotten the impression
that I was a yogi.
How?
From me giving her the impression I was a yogi.
I got excited 'cause it seemed like she was liking me,
and I just wanted things to keep going in the direction
of her liking me because that's not a bad direction
for my life to head in.
I mean, one day the kids will leave the nest,
and you and Trey will be off on some superyacht somewhere,
and Dad and Rose will be in an assisted living facility,
fractioning one another's brains out.
And I just wanna meet somebody before my sex life
starts measuring in halves.
Jim, you are gonna meet someone.
You are wildly likeable.
Yeah, except when I'm doing yoga.
You are naturally flexible. It's true.
- I know, right? - Mm-hmm.
But I--I just don't know how to yoga.
I mean, she's gonna know that I'm a fraud, unless--
What?
Well, remember how you used to want me
to do yoga with you?
I mean, like, so much that you wrote down
a wish list with it?
Well, Julia, I'm gonna make wish number 26 come true.
You want me to come to yoga with you
and be your yoga whisperer?
Oh, my God, what a great idea!
[bright rock music]
And Jim was like, I don't remember
you asking me to do yoga.
So I showed him proof.
Proof?
What, were you wearing a wire?
No, "Hold Me Close."
With pleasure.
[laughing]
No.
That's the name of the book that I got Jim and I
for us to save our marriage.
Did you try to get a refund?
Look here. My wish list,
number 26, which is "would do yoga with me."
So Sunday, I'm gonna be his yoga whisperer,
9:00 a.m. at the Blissful Elephant.
Jim gets list. Jim never reads list.
Bad for him, good for me.
Unnecessary for us.
Okay--she's jumping! Oh, God!

Let's stay at the back of the class.
25 bucks a class, turn up the AC.
Am I right? [chuckles]
Right here is good because no matter where
Kristen puts her mat, she won't be able to see you back here.
Oh, yeah.
And that way, I can get a good look at her--
actually, why am I not saying it?
You and I are not married anymore.
Her butt.
I want a clean, unobstructed view of her butt.
Dear God, is it hot.
Maybe because I'm here.
What are you doing here?
Number 18:
"I sometimes wish affection was expressed poetically."
Baby, I love you so much that when I'm away from you,
there's an ache in my heart that can only be soothed
by the radiance of your face.
Are you day drinking?
Yeah, and I'm day drunk off a case of Julia.
Watch the hangover on that.

I wanna get a clean, unobstructed view

Good morning, beautiful souls.
That's her.

Don't "dude" me.
She--when she told me this was her class,
she meant it was her class.
Oh, my--she's gonna know I'm a fraud.
Welcome to hot yoga.
Huh! So that's why it's so hot!
Jim, you didn't mention it was hot yoga.
This stuff is intense.
Well, I'm gonna make a break for it.
Jim!
I'm glad you could make it.

Straight as a warrior's sword.
Why is she talking about his sword?
She likes 'em straight.
Now, when my warrior lowers into chaturanga dandasana,
all his body will kiss the earth simultaneously.
Fantastic.
When is the first water break?
Let's give our special warrior a round of applause.

Jim, I-I should have warned you
how hard this class was.
I felt so bad every time I looked over at you.
You know how they say, don't let them see you sweat?
Well, uh, clearly whatever sociopath
invented hot yoga did not--
I forgot the rest of that sentence.
Hey--hey, Kristen.
Um, what are you doing later?
You wanna grab a cup of coffee?
Oh, I don't drink coffee.
How about a couple of gallons of water?
We can go any place that serves water.

You got it. Right there. Stamp it. Stamp it.
Right there. Keep stamping. Keep stamping.
Stamp my bliss. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm your little bliss miss.
How'd you like that, Trey?
I'm Jim.
You know what I should have said to Trey?
"Don't you think you're overdoing it a little bit?"
And he would have said, "Overdoing it?
I think you're overreacting, Julia."
And I would have said, "Overreacting?
I don't think so." And then he'd go, "What?"
and I'd go, "Yeah," and he'd go, "Pfft,"
and I'd go, "Pssh."
Are you having a fight in your head?
Yeah. I always do.
I like to map things out mentally beforehand.
This is why I always felt
like I entered our fights in the middle.
If you're gonna argue with Trey,
you should let him be there
to defend himself from the get-go.
You're right.
I--I have to go argue with Trey face-to-face.
Good.
Today should be a bad day for everybody.
I mean... [coughs]
I gotta switch grocery stores
so that I never see Kristen ever again.
I wish you never gave me those stupid yoga pants.
Oh, yeah. Blame it on a Christmas gift.
You know what, Jim?
Kristen did seem genuinely happy to see you show up.
And even happier to see me crawl out.
If I were to write a new list,
number one would be, "I wish Jim would have
the same confidence he had when he first asked me out."
I was young and dumb and had nothing to lose.
And now you're old and dumb and have nothing to lose.
Food for thought.
Enjoy your fight.
I will.

Babe, you're better than pretty good.

Sure, I'm ferocious in my head,
where I fight with other people
instead of directly talking to them.
What the hell did Jim do now?
No, no, no. It's--it's about you.
What is it?
You were showing off in yoga.
And--and I didn't know how to react.
And then she got all touchy with you
and called you her warrior and talked about your sword.
And then you were kissing the earth.
And it was embarrassing, and I didn't know how to react.
And then I got really jealous, and I have not been jealous
since I was 16 years old, and it was really, really bad.
I do not wanna be jealous again.
I got really, really jealous

And it's really embarrassing that all of these words
are just blurting out of my mouth,

I was showing off for you.
Why were you showing off for me?
