00:00Okay, so I'm just your standard, regular, incredibly handsome, unbelievably charismatic black dude
00:18who's found a way to actually go from broke to the Oaks without a jump shot, number one hit, or being Tyler Perry.
00:25Against the odds, I made a home for myself with my beautiful and intelligent wife
00:32where we've raised five great kids and looked after my parents.
00:36I may have grown up just a kid from Compton, but now I'm living the American dream.
00:43Hey, Johnsons! I couldn't help but notice all the hubbub happening over here,
00:48so I thought I would do my part and help out.
00:51Wow, Janino, there's a lot of wine boxes you have there.
00:54Well, I host a lot of book clubs on Zoom.
00:57Anyway, where are you guys moving?
01:00There's a little betting pool going on in the neighborhood, and I get extra points if it's Atlanta.
01:05Okay, uh, Janine...
01:05I mean, the neighborhood's not going to be the same without you,
01:08but there is something about that nerdy south, am I right?
01:13Well, maybe I was living the black American dream,
01:17because stuff like this still happens every day.
01:21I'm a Superman vet!
01:22Woo-hoo!
01:24These boxes are my parents. They're moving.
01:32Oh, that's what's been happening.
01:35Well, there has been a lot of chatter on next door about all the boxes coming in,
01:41all the boxes coming out, the mess camper just sitting in the driveway.
01:44We're not moving, okay?
01:46We've lived here for 17 years, and we are very happy.
01:49Yeah, very happy. We are not leaving.
01:51As a matter of fact, I think I might just buy up the whole block, all right?
01:55Diane gets a house, Jack gets a house, Junior and Devante can split one.
01:59Okay, there you have it. Now, it's Johnsonville.
02:01All right, well, I get it now. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding.
02:06Hold on one second. Oh, hey, Debbie.
02:07Well, I mean, I'll ask.
02:12So you would definitely say no to an all-cash offer?
02:16We're not leaving, Janine!
02:18You're...
02:18Okay, let's go.
02:21You know, this crazy white woman reminds me, we need to get some more wine.
02:26Oh, absolutely.
02:2717 years on the same street, and the whole neighborhood was still whispering about us behind our backs.
02:34Ever since we moved in, there's always been a sense that we were oddities.
02:39And if you look to your left, you'll see the mythical and majestic black family out of their natural habitat and yet still thriving.
02:49Well, we're not so easily shaken. We'll show them.
02:53I'm going to paint my house black.
02:55F*** it.
02:57All right, okay.
02:59Not exactly the tagline that I expected you to come up with for an ice cream ad featuring Simone Biles,
03:05but why don't we ask her what she thinks?
03:07I think we should keep workshopping that.
03:10Yes, excellent answer.
03:12You know what? Why don't we just take a break, huh?
03:22Knock, knock.
03:23Oh, hey. Oh, hey.
03:25Okay, come on in, Your Highness, Your Excellence, my lady.
03:29What do they call the greatest gymnast of all time?
03:32Simone.
03:33Okay, got it.
03:34You know, um, sorry about what happened back there.
03:38You know, I got a lot on my mind.
03:39I just got to let my neighbors know they're not going to run me out of town like Serena in a cat suit.
03:43I'm not going to give them what they want.
03:46Okay.
03:47Can I ask you something?
03:48Mm-hmm.
03:49What is it that you want?
03:52Okay.
03:53Okay, I see what you did there.
03:55You know, but it's not about what I want.
03:57You know, if I've learned anything, I would say you have to do what you want to do and not what anybody else wants you to do.
04:04Do a gut check.
04:05What's your heart telling you?
04:07Uh, I think it's telling me that I need to make some changes.
04:13Well, so are you going to listen?
04:15You've given me a lot to think about.
04:22Thanks.
04:23No problem.
04:24Yeah.
04:25Oh, hey, Simone.
04:26You know what would be cool if on your way out you could do a backflip?
04:31I'm not going to do that.
04:32Well, you know, I had to ask.
04:34It's okay.
04:35President Obama asked the same thing.
04:41I've got to talk to you.
04:42Okay.
04:43All right, uh, I've got to tell you something.
04:46I think I need to make some sort of big change.
04:51Oh, God, please not the hand tattoos again.
04:52Babe, I'm serious.
04:54Look at what's happening.
04:55What?
04:56All right, I'm about to buy up half the block because Janine asked a dumb question.
05:00I almost took our kids out of school because Devante got one bad evaluation.
05:04Babe, I'm at a place right now where I'm questioning everything.
05:09Me too, Dre.
05:10I mean, between the election and the pandemic, it's just making me reconsider what's important.
05:18Really?
05:18Yeah.
05:21Babe, life is too short to not go after what you really want.
05:25I agree.
05:25So, I think we should listen to four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles.
05:35Simone Biles?
05:36Mm-hmm.
05:36She came up to my work today and she told me to blow up my life.
05:39No.
05:39Yes, she did.
05:43So, what's your heart telling you to do?
05:47I think we should blow this bitch up.
05:52Boom!
05:52Yes, my girl!
05:54Yes!
05:58I think we should sell this house and move to a black neighborhood.
06:04Really?
06:05Really.
06:06Can you imagine if Devante got to grow up around successful black men and women that were not in his family?
06:14We've done Sherman Oaks.
06:16Like, we did it and it was good.
06:18It was great.
06:19But I just think it's time for us to do something new.
06:24Let's do it.
06:26You have always had my back.
06:28Always.
06:30Mama was wrong.
06:32Oh.
06:34What?
06:35After 20 years, you finally figure out what to say to turn me on, baby.
06:40Oh.
06:40Say it again.
06:41Mama was wrong.
06:43Oh, my God.
06:44Come here.
06:45Keep coming.
06:46Mama was wrong.
06:48Oh.
06:49Mama was wrong, baby.
06:53Bo and I were excited about our new future.
06:57All we needed to do now was tell our family.
07:00So, we're moving to the hood.
07:04Not the hood.
07:05No.
07:05You know, View Park, Ladera Heights, Baldwin Hills, or one of those other neighborhoods where they film Insecure.
07:10Oh.
07:11So, neighbor lady talking about Atlanta got inside your head, huh?
07:14My baby would never make it down there.
07:16All that sweet tea and cobbler would send his diabetes through the roof.
07:21Guys, we have always been talking about how on guard we are.
07:25If we move to a black neighborhood, we can relax.
07:28Exactly.
07:28You know how I come home and it looks like I've been through a 10-round boxing match?
07:32Uh, I mean, I do notice the vein that looks like it's always ready to jump out your face.
07:36Oh, my God.
07:37There's just so much upside, you guys.
07:39If we have black neighbors, we're not obligated to be their friends.
07:42We can just judge them by the content of their character.
07:45I feel like that was a shot at the Amookamores.
07:48You know, if I were to leave Devante outside before I drove to the park, I wouldn't be known as a bad black dad.
07:53I'd just be known as a bad dad.
07:56Where did this even come from?
07:58Yeah, you said and I quote, our ancestors fought way too hard for us to live in the same zip code as a check cashing place.
08:03Yeah, that's because I was told my entire life that I needed to move out of our neighborhood if I wanted to succeed.
08:10But that was not true.
08:12I know you're skeptical.
08:13Wait until we start looking at places.
08:14Then you know exactly what I'm talking about.
08:17I don't think I will.
08:18And I would like to start the process of emancipation.
08:21So we had some convincing to do, but we were listening to our hearts and we knew it would lead us to someplace special.
08:30If this is what following your heart looks like, then this is not bad, Dre.
08:34Yeah, you know, this house is a great place.
08:37Mm-hmm.
08:38I also have another bomb to talk to you about.
08:41Oh, God, Dre.
08:42You cannot try every bathroom in every house that we look at.
08:47No, it's not that, babe.
08:48I mean, just seeing Devante in a place with such a bright future makes me want to be a bigger part of it.
08:55Okay.
08:57I want to leave Stevens and Lido.
09:00For real this time?
09:01Or is this like when you wanted to run the L.A. Marathon?
09:04For real.
09:05Really?
09:06I'm not going to stop working, you know, maybe do a little freelancing, but definitely going to take a step back.
09:11Which means you'd be carrying the load.
09:16The fact that you think I'm not doing that right now is very cute.
09:20Uh-uh.
09:21But I've got you.
09:22Okay.
09:23Okay.
09:23Guys, guys, hey, so, what do you think?
09:26Nighttime, chilling in the pool, whole city behind me, I can get used to that.
09:30Finally a house to match my lifestyle.
09:32Well, then this is the place.
09:35This is our new home.
09:36Okay.
09:36Oh, guys, guys, guys, here comes the realtor, all right?
09:38Wipe that black joy off your face, okay?
09:40We've got to play this close to the vest so we can get a good deal.
09:43All right?
09:43Sure.
09:44So, do you love it or do you love it?
09:47Uh, it's...
09:48All right.
09:49Yeah, I mean, you know, we don't actually have to move.
09:52You said that the countertops were new, but I'm not really sure they are.
09:56Oh.
09:56Yeah, and we're coming from Sherman Oaks, so we're a little concerned about the neighborhood.
10:00Okay.
10:00I was making it all happen, fresh starts, new beginnings, but this also meant leaving
10:07a job that had become like a second home.
10:09Hey, well, well, I always knew this day was coming, Dre.
10:14I'm just, uh, I'm relieved that it's not because of something I said.
10:17You know, I've threatened to quit so many times that it, uh, it feels weird to actually be leaving.
10:23When I first came here, my plan was to steal your identity, but the only thing that was stolen
10:29was my heart, and a long-sleeved sweatshirt that was in the backseat of your car that
10:34I assumed you wasn't wearing because it had shoulder pads in it.
10:38Dre, you know, you don't have to go.
10:39I mean, there's still time to change your mind.
10:41I appreciate that, but taking this time is what's most important for me and my family.
10:46Well, I've learned that we are a better place, a stronger place, with diverse voices here.
10:52And I've also learned that I cannot say looking for an uppity Negro in the ad to replace you,
10:58even though that is really what I do want.
11:00Truth is, you've, uh, you may be a better person, and I'm really going to miss having you around.
11:07You've become one of the truest voices in my life.
11:14That means a lot.
11:15Come on, guys, bring it in.
11:17Let's bring it in.
11:18Come on, one last time.
11:21You know you're making the right decision when things start to fall into place.
11:25And as we got the keys to our new home, it felt like they would open up more than just doors.
11:31Hey, how do you like the new house?
11:35Oh, it's great.
11:37The neighborhood is great.
11:38I really like how all the coffee shops are also our calories.
11:41Hmm.
11:42Hmm.
11:42Okay.
11:43Okay, come on.
11:44I can already see Thanksgiving in the dining room, Christmas tree in the window,
11:49and I'm pretty sure we won't be the only family that's putting out Kwanzaa candles.
11:54Yeah, I mean, the house is amazing.
11:56It's just, that's weird.
11:59You know, a part of me always felt like the old house would be there for me whenever I needed it.
12:04But all this, it just means that that chapter of my life is closed now.
12:09Then I realized, it's not just open for me this time.
12:15It's open for all of us.
12:39It's open for all of us.
13:09Wow.
13:23There are a lot of memories in this house.
13:33So many.
13:35Do you remember when Jack fell off the back of the couch?
13:38And he lost his tooth.
13:40Yeah.
13:41And Diane stole his tooth very much.
13:43Of course she did.
13:45That's way back when.
13:48When they were still sharing a room.
13:53You know what?
13:53I'm, uh...
13:57I'm just starting to realize that this...
14:01is no longer a home.
14:03This won't be the place that I come to every day
14:07to see the people that I love.
14:15It's crazy.
14:18I mean, I know it's happening, but...
14:22it just doesn't feel real.
14:28Yeah, I know.
14:30I watched Junior.
14:32Not be able to touch those countertops.
14:35And now, he's taller than me.
14:37And yes, I can admit it.
14:39You know, at the end of the day,
14:41I keep telling myself,
14:42these are just...
14:44four walls, babe.
14:46But it...
14:47it feels so much bigger than that.
14:51It's because it was our home.
14:55You made a family here.
14:57Yeah.
14:57We spent our lives here.
15:02I mean, good and bad.
15:06Laughter.
15:09Heartbreak.
15:11Births.
15:12A lot of births.
15:16Deaths.
15:18We did it together.
15:21Right here.
15:22Yeah.
15:24Yeah.
15:28You know,
15:30that magic we felt the first time
15:31we walked in this house together,
15:33I still feel today.
15:34So do I.
15:38Hmm.
15:41And we...
15:42keep telling each other
15:44not to be afraid to fall
15:47because we have each other's back.
15:49I'm so proud to say
15:53I did this with you,
15:56Dr. Rainbow Johnson.
15:59I would take a leap with you
16:01anywhere,
16:03anytime,
16:05anyplace.
16:08Husband of Dr. Rainbow Johnson.
16:10Laughter.
16:10Laughter.
16:14You're my favorite dance partner.
16:15I love you.
16:20I love you, too.
16:24Hmm.
16:26Should we get out of here?
16:30Yeah.
16:31Ugh.
16:33I guess...
16:34this feels like so much
16:37unfinished business.
16:39Yeah.
16:41You know,
16:42when you finish college,
16:43there's a graduation ceremony.
16:44You get married,
16:46there's a wedding.
16:47Mm-hmm.
16:48When a loved one
16:49passes away,
16:51there's a home going.
16:56What?
16:59I got it.
17:03Okay.
17:04I got it.
17:07Okay.
17:07It occurred to me that in order
17:14to move on to the future,
17:15we must honor the past.
17:18And that's why we're here
17:19to celebrate our home
17:21for all the joy and love
17:23that it's brought us.
17:25So,
17:26on our moving day,
17:28I want everyone to take a moment
17:30to think about
17:31what this house
17:33means to you,
17:35to all of you.
17:40$36,000 in free rent.
17:42Oh,
17:43girl,
17:44stop it,
17:45Earl.
17:48Well,
17:48I got to watch my babies
17:54grow up in this house.
17:55and I want to thank you.
17:59Hmm.
18:06We lived in this house
18:07our entire lives.
18:09Except for vacations
18:10and school
18:12and the movies.
18:13Shut up.
18:13Oh, boy.
18:14Sorry.
18:16Well,
18:16we can't take the house with us.
18:19We can still take the memories.
18:20How?
18:26I really wouldn't be where I am
18:28without the time
18:29I spent in this house
18:30or snuck out of it.
18:33And I
18:34lost my virginity
18:36in this house.
18:37Fine.
18:38I became a man
18:39in this house,
18:40but we all know
18:40what that means.
18:42High five.
18:43Come on, man.
18:43Okay, guys,
18:44this house meant a lot
18:45to everyone,
18:46but, uh,
18:49I think it's time
18:50and we move on.
18:51Shall we?
18:52Let's go.
18:53Oh.
18:54Let's go.
18:54Let's go.
18:55Let's go.
18:55Let's go.
20:28Who is living his version of the American dream.
20:32Ah, por fin, encontré la caja del comedor.
20:37Thank God.
20:39Your mother would have never forgiven me if we lost her wedding china in the move.
20:44Can you believe all of this is ours?
20:48Perfect house, perfect neighborhood, perfect partner.
20:53We are living the American dream.
20:55Uh-huh.
20:56Oh, yeah.
21:03Hola, nuevo neighbors.
21:05I'm Janine.
21:06I live next door.
21:07I thought I'd welcome you to our little barrio by bringing over my homemade taco salad.
21:11No, no, no, no, I just want to say hi, I just want to say hi, I just want to say hi.
21:17Did you pay him a basket?
21:23Son durritos.
21:23Mom!
21:25Daddy's working.
21:30Mom!
21:32Shh, Daddy's working.
21:34You
