00:00 A year ago, I was single without a care in the world.
00:03 Today, I'm married with three stepkids,
00:05 and I'm wasted in the back of my husband's ex-wife's car.
00:08 His first ex-wife.
00:10 You might be wondering the same thing I am.
00:13 How did I get here?
00:14 ♪ Oh, it feels so right ♪
00:19 Well, last year, the closest thing I had to a family
00:22 was my best friend Meg, and we did everything together.
00:26 We were ramen-eating, random-dating,
00:29 party-hopping single, and we had fun.
00:32 ♪ For my love ♪
00:34 Any time one of us went through a breakup,
00:35 we'd head to Casa Grande for karaoke.
00:38 And lately, there had been a lot of karaoke.
00:41 But I was a romantic,
00:42 so I knew when I finally met the right guy,
00:44 I'd jump right in.
00:46 [ Screams ]
00:47 ♪ My kisses in the napkin ♪
00:48 Oh! Oh! Oh! Ow!
00:51 So sorry.
00:52 Okay, don't freak out, but you're -- you're bleeding.
00:55 Can I get some napkins, please?
00:57 So sorry. I'm okay. This hurts.
00:59 He was charming, and even though I broke his nose,
01:01 he insisted the doctor see me first.
01:03 You call that a scar? Yeah.
01:05 Look at this.
01:06 I slipped on an icy step in law school,
01:08 sued the school, I won, paid for law school.
01:11 Oh, yeah? Yeah.
01:12 Check this one out.
01:13 Country Crossing guard.
01:14 2002.
01:16 Cliff diving, Costa Rica.
01:17 Right before I go, I notice a small...
01:21 melanoma.
01:22 Two things you should know about me.
01:24 One, love Costa Rica.
01:25 Two, hate melanoma.
01:27 One thing you should know about me,
01:28 I'm allergic to nuts.
01:31 Dad! Dad!
01:33 What are you doing in the lap, little baby?
01:34 And then I met his family.
01:36 You know what? The babysitter called
01:38 and said that you were in the hospital,
01:39 so I rounded up the kids and told them
01:40 to prepare for the worst.
01:41 Of course. Of course.
01:42 Yeah.
01:43 Hi, Dad. You're married.
01:44 Uh, this is my ex-wife, Jackie.
01:47 Hi, Jackie. This is my son, Warren.
01:49 My daughter, Hillary.
01:50 I found gold!
01:51 Oh! Oh, don't, don't, don't, don't.
01:52 You should put that to Daddy.
01:54 Warren, drop it.
01:56 It's probably covered in fecal matter.
01:58 Mom! Yes!
01:59 And then I met his whole family.
02:01 Hi, honey.
02:02 So you are married.
02:03 No, that's my other ex-wife.
02:05 She's the mother of the twins.
02:07 Jackie is Bert's mom.
02:08 I'm from China.
02:09 He's from China.
02:10 So, Pete, it's like Dr. Patel says,
02:12 that you broke your nose in a bar.
02:15 How did that happen?
02:16 Um, well, uh, I was in a restaurant.
02:19 Okay, this is an ancient healing technique.
02:21 I've been really working on.
02:22 It's called Reiki, and it really does a thing.
02:26 Excuse me. Can you hold this, please, young lady?
02:28 Jackie, do you mind if I just try
02:30 a modern healing technique called science?
02:31 All right, sit up, please.
02:32 Sit up.
02:33 Kids, look away.
02:34 Oh!
02:35 All right.
02:36 Good. Thank you.
02:37 All right, let's go.
02:38 Come on, guys.
02:39 I'm all right.
02:40 I can breathe.
02:41 Dad!
02:42 I am not going with you.
02:43 Yeah, yeah, I'm totally fine.
02:45 Dad, I can't get this back in.
02:48 All right.
02:49 Would you ever want to go out for coffee?
02:58 I'm free Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every other weekend.
03:02 Some girls would have said no, but I liked him.
03:05 So I jumped right in.
03:06 Sure, yeah.
03:07 I'm, uh, I think I'm free every other weekend.
03:12 Good.
03:13 I mean, I always wanted a husband and family.
03:15 I just didn't expect to meet them all in one night.
03:18 So now I'm here, and I've got everything under control.
