Hey, Noah, for real,
thanks for planning this trip, man.
I really needed a break.
Yeah, likewise, but why Ojai again?
It seems like such a small town.
Well, it's supposed to be
the spiritual mecca of California.
I just figure with Nicky, Anthony, and I
coming out of relationships,
we could all stand to reset out energy.
Oh, yeah, true.
Oh, speaking of energy,
are things still awkward
with you and Fay after you told her
that she's the reason that you and Talia broke up?
- God, that was so dumb. - I didn't mean to blame her.
- It just came out that way. - Mm-hmm.
I texted her to make sure we're cool,
but she hasn't responded yet.
What did you send her?
Oh, no, that's a thick-ass bubble.
It's not that thick a bubble.
That is such a think bubble.
Ooh, that text got ass.
Mm-hmm, ass for days.
- What is up with this dude? - He wants to do you?
No, he explicitly said
he no longer has feelings for me,
and now he's trying to get me to say that everything's cool
so that he can feel better about himself.
Oh, yeah, our friend's being a messy ho.
I messed up, damn.
Man, you're stressing over a text message.
You sound like Noah right now.
It's true.
You do sound like me right now, all wound up.
- You sure you don't like her? - No, I don't,
and even if I did,
she's good on me now.
I am so good on him,
I do not need that stress.
Well, the silver lining is,
we're getting away from LA
and all his antics.
He's coming on the trip.
He's in the other car.
Ooh, damn, good luck with that.
Here, give me your phone.
I bet he'll leave you alone after this.
Ooh, that's good.
- Send it. - Ahh.
[laughs] [phone dings]
K? She just text me the letter K.
- That's bad. - Hold up.
There's a period after that K.
- It's worse. - Oh, my condolences.

Okay, well, let's get this vacation started.
[chuckles] Where the ocean at?
We're on Ojai Valley.
- There is no ocean. - Yeah,
we're surrounded by the Topatopa Mountains,
which captures a very unique universal energy,

As long as there's a pool, I'm good.
- There's no pool? - Nicky, I know
that you want a big body of water,
but I do have a fun surprise
that will help set the tone for the rest of the trip.
We're going to a...
Psychic reader and spiritual consultant?
That's right. Look, there's no better way
to get these vibes on vibes on vibes on vibes
on vibes on vibes on vibes on vibes.
Nah, bro. All this woo-woo stuff is fake.
- I don't believe in it. - I'm sorry.
Aren't you always saying the Clippers are cursed?
A basketball curse is different.
That's real and based off of analytics.
Yeah, I don't know about this either.
Don't you have a psychic back home?
Exactly, and she didn't tell me
that I was gonna meet a psychic today,
so if this person isn't on her radar,
she is not official.
I'm a little skeptical too.
Reading energy? I don't get it.
- Clearly, little bitch. - Ooh.
- What? - Okay, look,
activities like this can go left real quick.
I know y'all remember what happened
in "Carmen: A Hip Hopera"
when Wyclef pulled the death card on Beyoncé.
I do remember that.
Death cards? They're not real,
and our different opinions
is exactly why this will be fun to do.
Shut up. This is all nonsense,
and I don't believe in it,
and nobody is ever gonna change my mind.
Hi, I'm Journey Jones Destiny Moon.
[funky music]
My mind has changed. Read me, please.
So what's these cards talkin' about?
That you don't believe in any of this
and the only reason you are here
is because you're sexually attracted to me.
Hmm,
you right.
Okay, look, idk if this is for me.
I'm seeing the page of cups.
This is a reconciliation card.
Hold on.
- Keep going. - This is the ten of swords.
You're over a situation or a person,
and you just wanna be left alone.
So you don't know Tavia Hale?
I mean, she's pretty well-connected
in the psychic community.
It seems weird that you don't know her.
I would like for you to share what you see,
remembering to be open and honest.
Not a problem. We don't keep secrets.
- [chuckles] - Oh, great.
Nah, I'm not gonna share my card.
Wait, what?
So are you seeing any new romances in my future?
This is the card of death.
Wait, that's a real card?
So can I, uh, take you out for a drink?
If the stars align and we meet again,
then so it shall be.
- So that's a no? - If it is our path,
- then we will travel it. - So no?
If we meet again, then we will have met again.
Okay, all right.
That was a very spiritual rejection.
Thank you for your time.
