00:02:13Oh, looks like someone's slacking on the job.
00:02:38He says the man who rolls in at 10.35 a.m.
00:02:42Wasn't that early?
00:02:43Wow, you're looking very refreshed, though, Chris.
00:02:46Thank you, John.
00:02:48It is the beauty of senior management.
00:02:50Something you would know about if you would take my advice and apply.
00:02:54Come on, give it a shot.
00:02:56I could use your Ph.D. on my team.
00:02:58I never got my Ph.D., remember?
00:03:00Yes, I do.
00:03:01Sorry.
00:03:01We had that conversation, didn't we?
00:03:02Yeah, sore spot. Sorry.
00:03:04Your expertise, then.
00:03:05And give up on the dream?
00:03:07You mean birding against your ex to win some local bird-a-thon trophy?
00:03:11Is that the dream?
00:03:12Because, yeah.
00:03:13Okay, well, my ex aside, the big dream is to win.
00:03:19Yeah.
00:03:20So I can get the prestige push.
00:03:23Oh, prestige.
00:03:25Yeah.
00:03:25Do you mean press?
00:03:27Well, yeah, that too.
00:03:28Hmm.
00:03:28So I can start my own guiding business.
00:03:34You're obsessed.
00:03:36Look, I know it's hard for you to understand, but I gotta give it one last shot.
00:03:40Otherwise, I'm all in.
00:03:45Here.
00:03:47I guess I gotta be all in somewhere, right?
00:03:48I can't keep straddling both.
00:03:49All right, James Bond.
00:03:52If you complete your mission, then great.
00:03:54Get after it.
00:03:55But if you don't, I'm coming after you.
00:03:58You fact-checked me, didn't you?
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:01Google confirmed your proclamation that the real James Bond was indeed a birder.
00:04:05Thank you very much.
00:04:06Leave it to Ian Fleming to make birding cool.
00:04:09I wouldn't go that far.
00:04:10But I am pulling for you.
00:04:13Appreciate it.
00:04:15Back to work.
00:04:16No favoritism here.
00:04:24And this is your final assignment for the summer term.
00:04:29So, I want you to pick a novel that explores a complex theme.
00:04:35It can be the American dream, social injustice, the nature of good versus evil.
00:04:39It's up to you.
00:04:41But whatever you choose, I want it to spark something.
00:04:44Speak to this next chapter.
00:04:46Your next chapter in life.
00:04:49Basically, just let it be more than an assignment.
00:04:52Okay?
00:04:53And have a great weekend.
00:04:55It is gorgeous out there.
00:04:56Bye.
00:04:58Great work on that project.
00:05:00Bye, guys.
00:05:04Hey, you.
00:05:06Pizza Friday.
00:05:06I was thinking we could bring back the Hawaiian for old time's sake.
00:05:10What do you say?
00:05:11I'm going to the movies with some friends.
00:05:13Remember?
00:05:13I do not remember you saying that.
00:05:16Sorry, I thought I did.
00:05:18They're picking me up from here.
00:05:19We're going shopping.
00:05:20And then to the movies?
00:05:22No, but that's okay.
00:05:23Don't worry.
00:05:23I just have barely seen you all week.
00:05:26We live together.
00:05:27You know what I mean.
00:05:28But there's always tomorrow.
00:05:29Just text me so I know when you'll be coming home.
00:05:32Okay?
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:35Celeste, wait up.
00:05:40Hi.
00:05:41I was just talking about you.
00:05:42Or we were.
00:05:43Yeah?
00:05:43Is it good or bad?
00:05:44I was talking to my cousin Doug.
00:05:46You remember Doug, right?
00:05:47No.
00:05:47Sorry.
00:05:47Should I?
00:05:48I'm pretty sure I told you about him.
00:05:50Not ringing any bells.
00:05:51Well, he's also going through a super recent and really unfortunate divorce.
00:05:56Mine wasn't that recent.
00:05:58Yeah, but a year isn't that long either.
00:06:00Especially when they say it takes twice as long to get over someone.
00:06:03Or is it half the time?
00:06:04Considering we were together for 22 years, let's hope it's the latter.
00:06:08Either way, he wants to meet you.
00:06:10Not before she meets my BFF from college, Andrea.
00:06:15Are you trying to set up Alan again?
00:06:17He is a very successful dentist.
00:06:19A little arrogant, sure, but you didn't respond to my text.
00:06:22Oh, Layla, I'm so sorry.
00:06:23I meant to.
00:06:24I've just been very busy with, you know?
00:06:28No?
00:06:28Just helping Morgan get ready for college.
00:06:31There's so many decisions to make.
00:06:33She's got so many meal plan options.
00:06:35There's vegan, paleo, keto.
00:06:37You'd be surprised how many there are.
00:06:39Oh, Eva!
00:06:40There you are.
00:06:41So sorry to keep you waiting.
00:06:43What are you talking about?
00:06:44You weren't.
00:06:44You are so understanding.
00:06:45I know we're already late.
00:06:47We've got to go, but thank you for thinking of me.
00:06:49And we'll talk soon.
00:06:50Just keep walking.
00:06:51Okay, bye.
00:06:51Text me.
00:06:52I'll talk to you about Doug.
00:06:53Alan.
00:07:00Thanks for the afternoon pick, Mia.
00:07:02Thank you for the rescue earlier.
00:07:04At least it was more propositional than pitying this time.
00:07:07And it's hard to say which one I prefer.
00:07:10I mean, a dentist.
00:07:12Just think how white your teeth will be.
00:07:13Very funny.
00:07:14You're lucky you're my best friend.
00:07:16I know.
00:07:18So, what are we doing this weekend?
00:07:21Should we grab a drink?
00:07:23Or do yoga?
00:07:24Unless you'd have plans.
00:07:26My only plans are to organize my garage.
00:07:30What?
00:07:31It really needs it.
00:07:32Okay.
00:07:33No.
00:07:34Love you, Celeste, but you need to get out there, like, now.
00:07:37Please don't say date.
00:07:38I don't care if it's speed dating, or skydiving, or water painting, even.
00:07:42You just need to get out of the house and try something new and have some fun.
00:07:45Organizing is fun.
00:07:47I do not accept that.
00:07:49Fine.
00:07:50But what if I don't remember what is anymore?
00:07:53What's fun?
00:07:54Yeah, I haven't asked myself that question in decades.
00:07:56That's because you're 100% focused on your family unit.
00:07:59And yet, Rick cheated anyway.
00:08:03You know how I feel about that.
00:08:06It's a whole new chapter.
00:08:07Yes, this is your time now.
00:08:10You need to do something a little crazy, you know?
00:08:12Just wake yourself up.
00:08:13It's time.
00:08:13Which is why.
00:08:14Oh.
00:08:15Oh, no.
00:08:16Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08:17I thought that was later.
00:08:18What was later?
00:08:19The spa party, which sounds like it would be super relaxing, but it's actually this really
00:08:23intense fundraiser for my grandpa's community center, and I can't miss it.
00:08:26Why would you miss it?
00:08:27I'm birding.
00:08:28You're birding?
00:08:31Why is that so unbelievable?
00:08:32It's you.
00:08:33Like, quiet notebook binoculars kind of thing.
00:08:36Well, I'm supposed to be.
00:08:38As a favorite to this really nice guy from my pickleball group.
00:08:41It's an annual contest, but, you know, now I...
00:08:44This is Eva.
00:08:48Yes, I just got the reminder, and I will absolutely be at your fundraiser.
00:08:53Do you mind confirming our table?
00:08:55After all.
00:08:56Oh, I feel terrible.
00:08:58Just get someone to fill in for you.
00:08:59I'm pretty sure you're not a birding expert.
00:09:01It's just for a day.
00:09:03You should totally take my spot.
00:09:05Yeah, I think they need to be paired up.
00:09:07I don't know if it's like an accountability thing or something, but...
00:09:09That is not what I meant.
00:09:10Why would I do that?
00:09:11You love birds and animals.
00:09:13Oh, and my friend...
00:09:14Hmm?
00:09:15Yes, there's a table reserved for our group.
00:09:16It should be under Mount Muir.
00:09:19Yes.
00:09:20My friend John desperately needs a partner because his girlfriend,
00:09:23who is apparently this, like, beautiful but cold-hearted genius,
00:09:27just cheated on him with some professor,
00:09:29and now those two are birding together as a couple.
00:09:32And I thought Rick was bad.
00:09:34Well, apparently Brina and Laszlo are much worse,
00:09:37which is why I offered to step in.
00:09:39But if you could do it...
00:09:41Yeah, that's correct.
00:09:43There's ten of us.
00:09:44But you're not trying to set me up, right?
00:09:47No.
00:09:47I'm pretty sure you're both in the romance's dead-to-me zone,
00:09:49and I'm not sure that he's over his ex.
00:09:51So, yeah.
00:09:52No.
00:09:52He just can't enter alone,
00:09:53and I was happy to role-play for him.
00:09:55Yeah, still here.
00:09:56Role-play.
00:09:57So you were gonna, what, pretend to be his girlfriend for the contest?
00:10:01Yes.
00:10:01Yes?
00:10:02I know it's a little unusual,
00:10:06but you'd between me and John the biggest favor.
00:10:09He is the sweetest guy.
00:10:11He's a little quiet, but, you know,
00:10:12it's still more fun than organizing your garage.
00:10:14He does sound like he's in an awful position.
00:10:18Would this count as my something crazy?
00:10:21Yes, absolutely.
00:10:23Fine.
00:10:24Then I'll do it.
00:10:25Really?
00:10:26Oh, you want to go over the auction items, like, right now?
00:10:29Great.
00:10:30I gotta go.
00:10:30I'm gonna have him text you all of the information.
00:10:32You are the best, and, um, you know, just have fun with it.
00:10:35Okay.
00:10:39Pretending to be someone's girlfriend.
00:10:43I've officially entered my midlife crisis.
00:10:45Oops.
00:10:58Oh, you're the best.
00:11:12Well, I know you were deciding between Kingfisher Kanzos and deductions, but I, for one, I'm
00:11:32glad you went with the latter.
00:11:33Plus, the team name fits so much better.
00:11:37I definitely feel like there's more activity this year.
00:11:40Well, let's hope so, for your sake.
00:11:43You mean ours?
00:11:44I already have tenure.
00:11:46Well, I'm not sure this competition will get you there.
00:11:49Not yet, but every win is a resume boost.
00:11:52Oh, excuse me.
00:11:55Hi, hi there.
00:11:57Hi.
00:11:57Am I in the right place to check in?
00:11:59Yes, welcome.
00:12:00I'm Linda Sanchez, president of the NorCal Ornithological Society.
00:12:04And you are?
00:12:04Celeste.
00:12:05I'm waiting for my partner, John.
00:12:07Keller?
00:12:08Mm-hmm.
00:12:10Oh, so is John competing this year after all?
00:12:13Yes.
00:12:13He should be here any minute.
00:12:15Well, Brina, too bad you're competing against John this year.
00:12:19This is Celeste, John's new birding partner.
00:12:22We'll be fine.
00:12:22Nice to meet you.
00:12:23Likewise.
00:12:24And we can just say partner, you know, in the general sense, just to simplify.
00:12:28Just cover all the faces.
00:12:31Celeste?
00:12:31Hi.
00:12:32You made it.
00:12:33Hi, sweetie.
00:12:34Oh.
00:12:35Oh.
00:12:36John.
00:12:37So good to see you.
00:12:39Yeah, you too, Linda.
00:12:40Um, let me get your t-shirts.
00:12:42Okay.
00:12:43I wasn't sure you'd be competing this year.
00:12:45Well, I couldn't let you just run away with it now, could I?
00:12:48Wouldn't be fair.
00:12:49Even if a win would look good towards your ten-year goal.
00:12:52I only want to win fairly.
00:12:55I'm surprised to see that you're already seeing someone.
00:12:58Excuse me?
00:12:59You're right.
00:12:59None of my business.
00:13:03It's okay.
00:13:04We're just happy to compete.
00:13:10John?
00:13:13Maslow?
00:13:17Well, we should probably go get our gear.
00:13:19I'm a bit newer to birding, so I want to make sure I have everything.
00:13:23Of course.
00:13:23Good luck.
00:13:24Yeah, you too?
00:13:28Huh.
00:13:29What was that?
00:13:31Celeste Johansson, your friendly fake date to the rescue.
00:13:34Are you?
00:13:35No?
00:13:37That's not what I'm here for?
00:13:39You're here for a fake date?
00:13:42So, wait, let me get this straight.
00:13:44Eva was going to pretend to be my girlfriend?
00:13:46I love Eva.
00:13:47She's so sweet.
00:13:47She is helpful.
00:13:49Up for anything?
00:13:50And always trying to be in a million places at once, which is how you got stuck with me.
00:13:54I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
00:13:58And Brina.
00:13:59Oh, so you heard the whole story?
00:14:02Mm-hmm.
00:14:04I should be the one apologizing to you.
00:14:07You came all the way out here on a Saturday morning, you know, when you could have been
00:14:11sleeping in.
00:14:12Or organizing my garage.
00:14:15Either way, it's fine.
00:14:16I get the whole bad breakup, betrayal thing.
00:14:19I recently had one myself, after 22 years.
00:14:2222 years?
00:14:23I'm sorry.
00:14:25So is that why you jumped in to help?
00:14:27Maybe.
00:14:28Probably.
00:14:29As absurd as that sounds.
00:14:31It sounds kind.
00:14:33You don't have to do this.
00:14:38You know, this is...
00:14:39I'm not going to leave now.
00:14:40Besides, I like birds.
00:14:42I like the ones that fly, make eggs.
00:14:45Is that the extent of your bird knowledge?
00:14:48Pretty much.
00:14:48Okay.
00:14:49But I am a quick learner, and an eager student, so take it or leave it.
00:14:55Definitely take it.
00:14:59Do you come here often?
00:15:02As a matter of fact, I do.
00:15:05It's beautiful.
00:15:06Pretty great spot, right?
00:15:07There you two lovebirds are.
00:15:11I feel like these came out pretty well.
00:15:13Despite the long name, patient listening.
00:15:15Is that our name?
00:15:16You didn't know?
00:15:18I wanted it to be a surprise.
00:15:21Although, I thought that you might have wanted to establish something a little bit more aggressive.
00:15:26Seeing as Spring Lake Sporting Goods is a sponsor this year.
00:15:29The prize money is enough to launch your own birding business.
00:15:32If that's the plan.
00:15:33You want to start your own birding business?
00:15:37I feel like there's a lot of surprises here.
00:15:41You know, I just...
00:15:43I didn't want to put too much pressure on Celeste.
00:15:46We're just here having fun.
00:15:47Are we?
00:15:49Well, hopefully it'll be fun and successful.
00:15:52Good luck.
00:15:53Thanks, Linda.
00:15:56So, this is bigger than wanting to not lose face in front of your ex.
00:16:01Well, there's never been a big corporate sponsor like this before.
00:16:05To give us more press or a five-figure prize.
00:16:08How steep's the competition?
00:16:10Well, every year there's been a lot of great teams.
00:16:12But Brina and I have won it the last three years in a row.
00:16:14So, it's definitely doable.
00:16:17Okay, then.
00:16:20Okay.
00:16:21Yeah.
00:16:23Good morning, everyone.
00:16:24I am thrilled to welcome you all here today to kick off our annual contest.
00:16:29The NorCal Ornithology Bird-a-thon.
00:16:35It's too much to ask.
00:16:36No.
00:16:37Besides, we cannot let the cheaters win.
00:16:39To all of our new birders, welcome.
00:16:42And to our returning competitors, welcome back.
00:16:45You're really up for it.
00:16:46The birding.
00:16:47The fake dating.
00:16:48Apparently, I need to step out of my comfort zone.
00:16:51So, here we are.
00:16:53Yeah?
00:16:54And so, it's with immense excitement and gratitude for your involvement.
00:17:00I can do anything for one day.
00:17:03That I declare our three-week bird-a-thon officially underway.
00:17:08I'm sorry, did she just say three weeks?
00:17:15You still in?
00:17:18You're gonna love it.
00:17:24Shh, shh.
00:17:25I need you to fill me in on all the rules.
00:17:27What to buy, what to read.
00:17:29I want to be as prepared as possible.
00:17:31Of course.
00:17:32And you will be.
00:17:33But, before we get to any of that, why don't you, here.
00:17:41Take a look right there, okay?
00:17:44Tell me what you see.
00:17:49I see a tree.
00:17:51That's a good start.
00:17:52With leaves.
00:17:53Okay, now look between the leaves.
00:17:55What do you see between the leaves?
00:18:00Nothing's out there.
00:18:03Okay.
00:18:04Okay, that's totally fine.
00:18:07So far, we've seen, what, five birds?
00:18:08And three of those birds are the same as the first one, the white cap swallow.
00:18:11The white crown sparrow.
00:18:13The white crown sparrow.
00:18:13Oh, yes.
00:18:14Exactly.
00:18:15But we're three minutes in.
00:18:16We're already behind.
00:18:17We're doing a total bird species count over the next three weekends.
00:18:20Anywhere?
00:18:21Well, the greater Marin and Stoma County area,
00:18:23which is not insignificant when it comes to habitats.
00:18:27So, we have time.
00:18:29Then why is everyone rushing around?
00:18:31I'd say they're just getting started.
00:18:36You know, everyone comes out of the gate differently.
00:18:39I need to buy a guidebook and some binoculars and maybe those pants with the pockets.
00:18:44Basically, all the gear.
00:18:46Hey, you just told me your future is hanging in the balance here.
00:18:49That's dramatic.
00:18:51I don't know if I said that exactly.
00:18:56Teach me birding so we can get started.
00:19:00Uh, yeah.
00:19:03Fine.
00:19:03Yeah, okay.
00:19:05You're gonna need these back.
00:19:06All right, so, uh, just scan to the left slowly and then to the right and just look in between the branches.
00:19:19When I was a kid, watching birds was always about being outside, you know, discovering something.
00:19:36It's where I felt connected, grounded, safe.
00:19:40Why, were you shy?
00:19:42Painfully.
00:19:44But this helped.
00:19:45With confidence?
00:19:47Yeah, eventually you get to know one bird so well that you can identify it easily.
00:19:52Or its song.
00:19:53You know, it starts with an initial curiosity and then it morphs into something more powerful.
00:20:02You know, if I start guiding, that's what I want to convey to people.
00:20:05That it's a quiet but powerful hobby in a lot of ways.
00:20:13So we just wait.
00:20:17Contest or no contest.
00:20:19We're doing this right.
00:20:20We start with discovery and then we go from there.
00:20:24You know, don't worry about the count today.
00:20:28Just see the bird.
00:20:30That sounds way more zen than I'm feeling right now.
00:20:34Just be patient.
00:20:35They're out there.
00:20:37So what's your white whale?
00:20:39You know, the one you just haven't seen yet.
00:20:42I wouldn't say my white whale necessarily, but I really want to see a spotted owl.
00:20:48Ooh.
00:20:48Yeah, they're an endangered species.
00:20:51So rare that almost nobody outside of the most dedicated birders have seen them in the wild.
00:20:56No spotted owls.
00:20:58Well, today we are going to see herons, egrets, ducks.
00:21:07Oh, there's one.
00:21:08Oh, yeah.
00:21:09Some kind of heron.
00:21:10Yeah, that's a great blue heron.
00:21:11Oh, look right there.
00:21:23Snowy egret.
00:21:25Oh, I see him!
00:21:28Okay, all right.
00:21:29Now you're just scaring the birds.
00:21:31Sorry, right.
00:21:32Of course.
00:21:32Quiet, coyote.
00:21:34Very quiet.
00:21:34Fake date?
00:21:41Are you kidding me?
00:21:43How did I get that out of the conversation?
00:21:44I am still trying to work that out as well.
00:21:47I mean, I know him, but not that well.
00:21:50Although you did say yes when I asked you if that's what it was.
00:21:53I don't recall that.
00:21:55And clearly, I didn't mean it or sticking you with a three-week competition.
00:21:58I was going to tag you out.
00:21:59Oh, that ship.
00:22:00That has sailed.
00:22:01I have now not only stepped out of my comfort zone, I'm on a rocket ship to the moon with
00:22:05this fake date who's unfortunately not unattractive.
00:22:08And you're right.
00:22:09He's still hung up on his ex, so yay!
00:22:11Fine!
00:22:12Cheers!
00:22:14Hey, Mom.
00:22:15What is this?
00:22:16Are you ready for this?
00:22:19I don't know.
00:22:21My new bucket hat.
00:22:23I love...
00:22:24Birdhouse with camera.
00:22:26Outdoor vest with pockets.
00:22:28Mom, you can borrow it.
00:22:30I'll pass.
00:22:32Oh, wow.
00:22:34My brand new binoculars!
00:22:36Oh, yeah.
00:22:37Yep.
00:22:38What do you guys think?
00:22:41Super nerdy, guys, but have at it.
00:22:45Hey, I made lasagna.
00:22:47Thanks, but I already ate.
00:22:51I don't get it.
00:22:53We have always bonded over food.
00:22:55That's our thing.
00:22:56I mean, she's gonna be away at VAU in just a matter of weeks, and I thought we'd be spending
00:23:00more time together.
00:23:01Why does everything feel so off?
00:23:03I mean, that's the thing, though, with kids.
00:23:05What's the thing?
00:23:06They need to torch the house so they can leave it.
00:23:09I mean, it makes sense.
00:23:10Otherwise, how would you leave all of this?
00:23:12That's a real dark analogy.
00:23:14And one of the many reasons that Nathan and I have adopted for babies.
00:23:18So they'd never leave?
00:23:20They can't light a match.
00:23:21Hey.
00:23:33Told you the files were not too big or too heavy to bring over.
00:23:37Well, I could have picked them up myself.
00:23:40Give me a chance to get a lunchtime walk-in.
00:23:42I never did get those dividers.
00:23:44But you're still trying to get your guiding business off the ground.
00:23:47It takes more than passion to succeed.
00:23:48Well, winning the competition would help.
00:23:51How do you feel about your chances?
00:23:52You mean without having you as my partner?
00:23:54We won the last three years in a row for a reason because we're both great birders.
00:23:58I'm just wondering what your new partner's credentials are.
00:24:00We'll be fine.
00:24:03Good.
00:24:05Well, if you find you're missing anything else, let me know.
00:24:08I'm happy to bring it over.
00:24:10Yeah, I think, uh, I think this is the last of it.
00:24:15Okay.
00:24:16Well, may the best birder win.
00:24:25I should be home in about 20 minutes.
00:24:28I just got a call from the office to pick something up and then I'm out.
00:24:32Okay.
00:24:32I'll see you soon.
00:24:36What in the world?
00:24:36I appreciate your enthusiasm and just wanted to say thank you.
00:24:46The rumor mill is on fire.
00:24:49Are you seeing somebody?
00:24:51Is that why you've been avoiding us?
00:24:52Is that what those are?
00:24:54I'm not avoiding you.
00:24:56That's not a no.
00:25:00But yes.
00:25:01Yep.
00:25:02I sure am.
00:25:04You were right.
00:25:05I usually am.
00:25:06But my cousin will be devastated.
00:25:08I've never met him.
00:25:09I think he'll be okay.
00:25:11That's beside the point.
00:25:13You have to bring him.
00:25:14Who?
00:25:14Your new boyfriend.
00:25:16Oh, it's still the early days.
00:25:18Which is exactly why we need to meet him.
00:25:20Test the roll cage.
00:25:21Don't want to waste time if he's not solid.
00:25:23Mm-hmm.
00:25:24So, you'll bring him.
00:25:26I will try.
00:25:27To what?
00:25:28The bowling fundraiser.
00:25:31Staff versus parents.
00:25:32Remember, it's Friday night.
00:25:34Oh, right.
00:25:35Bowling.
00:25:35Uh, yeah.
00:25:37Sure.
00:25:37I'll just see if he's free.
00:25:38Please.
00:25:39You just started dating.
00:25:40Of course he's free.
00:25:42Right.
00:25:43Right.
00:25:45Yeah.
00:25:46I'm just gonna.
00:25:47He's so thoughtful.
00:25:49Yeah.
00:25:50Then I will not repine, knowing that bird of mine,
00:26:01though flown shout in a distant tree,
00:26:03bright melody for me return.
00:26:11Let me guess.
00:26:13Audubon's Birds of America?
00:26:14That's en route.
00:26:15But no, Emily Dickinson.
00:26:17I never realized how many writers
00:26:19were fascinated with birds until now.
00:26:22It's like when I was gonna buy a green Jeep,
00:26:25all of a sudden I started seeing them everywhere.
00:26:28New t-shirt?
00:26:30What do you think?
00:26:31I think it's nerdy.
00:26:33But I like it.
00:26:35Shall we?
00:26:36Yes.
00:26:39So, it's really just an honor system
00:26:42for a prize that big?
00:26:44You record what you see.
00:26:45That sounds ripe for cheating or mistakes,
00:26:49especially from someone like me
00:26:51who knows very little about birds.
00:26:53What if I get it wrong?
00:26:54I got you.
00:26:54I just want you to get more out of this
00:26:56than making a list.
00:26:58Like the other day?
00:26:59How do you mean?
00:27:01Well, instead of just running around
00:27:03like chickens with our heads cut off.
00:27:05Oh, wow.
00:27:05That's a terrible saying.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07Yeah.
00:27:07Wow.
00:27:08I won't disagree.
00:27:08You made me slow down
00:27:10and just look at the bird.
00:27:15It's the kind of guiding I want to do
00:27:17for beginners.
00:27:22You could be my first.
00:27:24I think I already am.
00:27:27Well, you're doing great.
00:27:28Well, I have a lot of time to study and shop online.
00:27:32My daughter is getting ready to go off to college
00:27:35and doesn't seem to need me as much anymore.
00:27:41What about you?
00:27:44That's what I'm curious about.
00:27:50Did you just see that?
00:27:52Stop avoiding the question.
00:27:54No, I'm serious.
00:27:54I think I just saw a scrub jay.
00:27:56Scrub jay?
00:27:56How do you even know what a scrub jay is?
00:27:58I think I just saw a scrub...
00:27:59Oh, gosh.
00:28:00I'm in a plant.
00:28:00Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:28:01You okay?
00:28:01I'm okay.
00:28:02Slow down, okay?
00:28:05No rush.
00:28:09So where'd you see it?
00:28:10Right up here.
00:28:11That way?
00:28:12All right.
00:28:12Let's go.
00:28:16I grew up in Cleveland,
00:28:18a place called Shaker Heights,
00:28:19and now I'm a high school English teacher.
00:28:22That's it?
00:28:24I don't mean that's it.
00:28:25Like, that's all you got going on.
00:28:27But what else about you?
00:28:29Let's see.
00:28:30I met my ex-husband at university.
00:28:33I moved here when he got a job.
00:28:35I quit mine when I had Morgan.
00:28:37I just went back a few years ago.
00:28:38So basically, you could say I took a long hiatus.
00:28:41I lost myself in the process,
00:28:42and now I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:28:45I bet you're glad you asked that question.
00:28:48I am.
00:28:49Your turn.
00:28:50I grew up in a small, ridiculously quiet town,
00:28:56Mendocino,
00:28:57about two hours north of here.
00:28:59There wasn't really much to do or going on,
00:29:02so
00:29:03I started birding.
00:29:05And then I fell in love with it.
00:29:10I'm glad you have time for a new hobby.
00:29:12It's kind of exciting.
00:29:14Yes, it is.
00:29:15Now don't talk to me.
00:29:17Oh, that's right.
00:29:18You're birding.
00:29:18Look yonder.
00:29:21A scrub jay is in sight.
00:29:23Oh, yeah.
00:29:24Look at that.
00:29:28Told you I saw one.
00:29:30Indeed a scrub jay.
00:29:34Good spotting.
00:29:39Seven in two hours?
00:29:42Hence the title patient listening.
00:29:45We got time.
00:29:46Okay, speaking of time,
00:29:47do you happen to have any despair
00:29:49on Friday night?
00:29:51We have this school event.
00:29:52It's a fundraiser.
00:29:54Parents against teachers.
00:29:55What's the against part?
00:29:56Bowling.
00:29:57Oh, no.
00:29:57I'm out.
00:29:58Really?
00:29:59Only because I'm a terrible bowler.
00:30:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:30:01You do not have to be good.
00:30:03You just have to show up.
00:30:04That is 97% of it, I promise.
00:30:07But full disclosure,
00:30:08I may have insinuated something
00:30:10that makes this all a bit more complicated.
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:14You know how I teach high school?
00:30:16Well, sometimes I feel like
00:30:16I'm still in high school,
00:30:17with all the gossip and the drama
00:30:19and the people in your business
00:30:20trying to set you up
00:30:21because they feel sorry for you.
00:30:23And then there were your flowers.
00:30:24Thank you, by the way.
00:30:25I hope you got my text.
00:30:26It was just a little something.
00:30:27And my co-workers saw him
00:30:28and they thought I had a new boyfriend.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:32And to which you said...
00:30:34Not a lot.
00:30:35They're a bit much.
00:30:36And then, of course,
00:30:37they wanted to meet you.
00:30:39Your new boyfriend?
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:40I know it's a lot to ask.
00:30:42I just...
00:30:42I don't want to be that person anymore.
00:30:45What...
00:30:46What person?
00:30:47The one people pity.
00:30:48I just want to go
00:30:49and I want to bowl
00:30:50and raise some money for the kids.
00:30:52I'm in.
00:30:53Really?
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:56I owe you.
00:30:56Girl, you look great in everything.
00:31:03What's the big deal?
00:31:04Well, it's not every day
00:31:05you have to get dressed for a fake date.
00:31:07It's harder than you think.
00:31:09No, not that one.
00:31:11What?
00:31:12No?
00:31:13You know, it's casual.
00:31:14It's bowling.
00:31:15So it's got to be casual
00:31:16but cute enough for early dating.
00:31:19Whatever that means,
00:31:22that's tragic.
00:31:23Oh, please.
00:31:23Don't hold back.
00:31:24Hey, you called me.
00:31:26What about this?
00:31:28Oh, better.
00:31:30But?
00:31:31Oh, it's Morgan.
00:31:33I gotta go.
00:31:34Better?
00:31:34Was it a yes?
00:31:37I can't do the same concept
00:31:39as every other artist.
00:31:41It's the Junior Art Collective.
00:31:43My...
00:31:43My last one.
00:31:46Hi, honey.
00:31:47You're home.
00:31:48I gotta go.
00:31:50How was your day?
00:31:52Okay.
00:31:53Except my art project is a disaster.
00:31:56You get nervous.
00:31:56It's every year
00:31:57and I know it's gonna be beautiful.
00:31:59It's fine.
00:32:00I just need to revise it.
00:32:02In a vacuum.
00:32:03Well, if you need my help.
00:32:04That's not a vacuum.
00:32:06I wanted to give you this.
00:32:09Go on.
00:32:10Open it.
00:32:11You didn't need to get me anything.
00:32:12I know.
00:32:13I'm just excited for you.
00:32:17Thanks, Mom.
00:32:19But what if I made a mistake?
00:32:23In choosing VAU?
00:32:27This has been the goal of the path
00:32:28for as long as I can remember.
00:32:30I know.
00:32:31You're so close.
00:32:32Don't second guess yourself.
00:32:33If it's too big,
00:32:34we can always get you a different size.
00:32:36It's good.
00:32:37Are you sure?
00:32:38I just need to get back to my pieces.
00:32:40I can't bomb my last art show.
00:32:42You won't.
00:32:43Hey, don't forget your cookie dough.
00:32:44We need to figure this out.
00:33:12But you already gave me the lowdown on everyone.
00:33:14Well, that's them.
00:33:15What about us?
00:33:15How did we meet?
00:33:16That's going to come up between strikes.
00:33:17With this crew, you never know.
00:33:18Was it birding at Delilah?
00:33:20I have no idea.
00:33:21Hawk Hill.
00:33:21Hawk Hill.
00:33:22We were looking at the same bird,
00:33:23and then I asked you out for french fries.
00:33:26French fries?
00:33:26They're my go-to food.
00:33:27They're perfect on any occasion.
00:33:29Well, you see,
00:33:29that's something I definitely needed to know.
00:33:33We good?
00:33:35Did you stretch?
00:33:36My bowling arm?
00:33:37You'll probably be okay with a little PT.
00:33:39Well, maybe.
00:33:42Hey, everyone.
00:33:43This is John.
00:33:45Hi.
00:33:46John.
00:33:47Hi.
00:33:47Hi, John.
00:33:50You are much taller than I imagined.
00:33:53Taller?
00:33:53You mean brawnier.
00:33:55Really?
00:33:56Why is that?
00:33:57You mean for a bird?
00:33:58Yeah.
00:33:58I guess I never met one before.
00:34:00But we're excited to get to know you.
00:34:02So excited.
00:34:03Like, what university did you go to?
00:34:05Did you have a favorite teacher?
00:34:06Do you have any children?
00:34:06How did you guys meet?
00:34:08Yes.
00:34:09How did you meet?
00:34:10You know what, ladies?
00:34:10Why don't we do this after we bowl?
00:34:12Because we don't want to hold everyone up.
00:34:14Right, hon?
00:34:14Yeah, I know I'm ready to bowl.
00:34:16Are you?
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:18Fine.
00:34:19Everyone, add your name to the scoreboards.
00:34:21It's time to bowl.
00:34:22Woo!
00:34:23Woo!
00:34:23Woo!
00:34:24Woo!
00:34:25Woo!
00:34:41Woo!
00:34:44Woo!
00:34:47Woo!
00:34:48Woo!
00:34:48Woo!
00:34:49Woo!
00:34:50So in the absence of fries, what can I get you?
00:35:17Red vines, they're quick. I think everybody's wrapping up.
00:35:20Red vines. I'm more of a junior mince kind of guy myself, but I'll be right back.
00:35:25I'm sorry, but I don't think he's that into her.
00:35:29I kind of have to agree. I mean, did you see how she was all over him and teaching him out of bull, and he didn't even touch her?
00:35:38Is it bad that I feel sorry for her?
00:35:40Same. I mean, when I think of her a whole year alone.
00:35:44Yeah. I mean, this definitely never would have happened with Gary.
00:35:48Gary is such a wild card emotionally, though.
00:35:51She wanted to be here, but she got roped into this fundraiser. I think it was for her.
00:35:55Hi, I'm sorry. Can I, can I breathe?
00:35:58Yeah, sure.
00:36:01Where's your candy?
00:36:02Uh, well, um...
00:36:04You didn't have any?
00:36:04I didn't make it to the front of the line.
00:36:06I have been a terrible fake boyfriend.
00:36:10What are you talking about? You've been fine.
00:36:13Not according to your friends.
00:36:20Oh, oh.
00:36:21Yeah, they're, uh, questioning my devotion to you.
00:36:26Devotion?
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Like, how? We just started dating.
00:36:28Me being into you.
00:36:31I haven't been selling it enough.
00:36:33I'm sorry.
00:36:33There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:36:35Yeah, they're, they're watching us right now.
00:36:38They are.
00:36:38Oh, yeah, they are.
00:36:39Mm, oh.
00:36:40I can fix this.
00:36:41It would just mean us getting a little closer than what we discussed.
00:36:46Yeah.
00:36:47I really don't want to go out with Andrea's cousin, so...
00:36:51Go for it.
00:36:54Okay.
00:36:54Okay.
00:36:58It's vanilla, isn't it?
00:37:09What?
00:37:10Your perfume.
00:37:12Oh, it's lavender.
00:37:14And I think vanilla, caviar, not that you would notice that.
00:37:18I think it's different on everyone.
00:37:20I'm starting to notice a lot of things about you.
00:37:21Oh.
00:37:28Everyone is watching us.
00:37:30Yeah, they are.
00:37:31Yeah.
00:37:33I mean, we should probably kiss, right?
00:37:36Being this close.
00:37:37I mean, if we're dating, probably.
00:37:39Yeah, being this close, right?
00:37:41Yeah, probably.
00:37:43Are we really doing this?
00:37:45It appears so.
00:37:46We should have that.
00:38:00Yeah.
00:38:00We should probably go.
00:38:02Yeah.
00:38:03It's early morning tomorrow.
00:38:05Yeah.
00:38:05With the birds.
00:38:06With the birds.
00:38:07With the birds.
00:38:09Come.
00:38:10Your shoes.
00:38:10Yeah, there's my shoes.
00:38:12Okay.
00:38:12Okay.
00:38:13All right.
00:38:13Bye, guys.
00:38:14Bye-bye.
00:38:15Bye.
00:38:15Mom, this new bird cam is so cool.
00:38:23It is, right?
00:38:24I've been watching it all morning.
00:38:26I know you like a clean house, but this feels excessive.
00:38:31What's wrong?
00:38:32Nothing's wrong.
00:38:33Our living room just needed some sprucing.
00:38:36Does this have anything to do with your bird friend coming over?
00:38:39What?
00:38:39No.
00:38:40Why would you say that?
00:38:41So you're really just going to hang out in our backyard and watch birds?
00:38:44For the contest.
00:38:46Our backyard happens to be a bit of a bird sanctuary, according to a guide to native birds of California.
00:38:53Whatever you say.
00:38:55Have you talked to your roommate about who's bringing the fridge?
00:38:58Oh, and I was thinking we could run out and get matching duvets.
00:39:01I've got time now.
00:39:02I'm actually meeting up with some friends at the art studio.
00:39:07Oh.
00:39:07I'll get to it, okay?
00:39:09Sorry, sorry.
00:39:09I didn't mean to push.
00:39:10Um, you want to order ramen later?
00:39:13I'm actually having dinner with Dad and Lucy.
00:39:17He didn't mention he was coming.
00:39:19I guess it was a super last minute work thing.
00:39:21I'm sorry.
00:39:22It'll be fun.
00:39:23You are going to have a lot of fun.
00:39:25You know, you can date people too, right?
00:39:30Yeah, I know that.
00:39:31And I will when I meet someone I like.
00:39:34It's all about timing.
00:39:35So not this new bird guy?
00:39:36Pretty sure he's still hung up on his ex.
00:39:39So yeah, no, not going to go there.
00:39:40Whatever you say.
00:39:43Have fun organizing your living room.
00:39:45It's still our living room.
00:39:48You haven't moved out yet.
00:39:50I'm sure you're counting the days.
00:39:57Uh, Mom, someone's asking for you on the porch.
00:40:00What?
00:40:00Already?
00:40:01Tall, nerdy surfer vibe.
00:40:03Is he your birding friend?
00:40:05Why are you saying it like that?
00:40:06No reason.
00:40:07Did you just leave him out there?
00:40:09Yeah.
00:40:10His name is John, by the way.
00:40:12Come on in, John.
00:40:19Hi.
00:40:20Hi.
00:40:20You're early.
00:40:21I thought we said 10.
00:40:23Really?
00:40:24I thought we said 9.
00:40:26Is it okay you came in?
00:40:28Your daughter just told me to...
00:40:29She was just leaving.
00:40:29Yeah, and that's good because now you've met my daughter.
00:40:33I mean, not that it's, like, super significant that my daughter meet my birding partner, although
00:40:37we are on our second weekend, so that does feel pretty significant.
00:40:42So it's okay I came in?
00:40:43Yeah, it's great.
00:40:44I'm going to go grab my stuff, and then we can find some feathers.
00:40:47All right.
00:40:47Now, I don't know if we're supposed to pick favorites, but the yellow warbler is definitely
00:40:58the most attractive bird we've seen.
00:41:00So far.
00:41:01They're like a sunburst with wings, and those little nests they make, they're like coffee
00:41:06mugs, adorable.
00:41:07Oh, you spotted it.
00:41:08You identified it.
00:41:09You'll get there.
00:41:10Don't worry.
00:41:11So, be honest.
00:41:12We're halfway through.
00:41:13How are we doing?
00:41:15Numbers-wise?
00:41:16Mm-hmm.
00:41:16Well, it's tough to say when we don't know others count.
00:41:19Well, can't we just ask them?
00:41:20I'm sure they'd like to know.
00:41:21That's not something we do.
00:41:23Nobody knows the counts until the final reception when we announce the winner.
00:41:28So...
00:41:28So, 97 is decent.
00:41:32Teams can spot up to 200 bird species per weekend.
00:41:36200 per weekend?
00:41:39We're nowhere near where we need to be.
00:41:41Let's go.
00:41:43Oh, hey, an injury is not going to help us.
00:41:47Well, stop distracting me.
00:41:49Oh, I'm distracting you.
00:41:49Mm-hmm.
00:41:50Let's go.
00:41:51Where are we going?
00:41:51Yonder.
00:41:52Hmm.
00:41:52I can hear them.
00:41:53All right.
00:41:54Do you hear that?
00:41:55Yonder it is.
00:41:57I know you liked doing this as a kid, but did you actually study ornithology in school?
00:42:03Biology.
00:42:04With a minor in ornithology, I made up my concentration in grad school.
00:42:08Masters or PhD?
00:42:10Masters initially.
00:42:13Rena really wanted me to do the whole tenure track professorship like her.
00:42:17Which made sense until...
00:42:18Which made sense until...
00:42:21Laszlo?
00:42:23I realized I hated it.
00:42:29So I dropped out.
00:42:31Much to Brina's dismay.
00:42:33Hence, Laszlo, who was deeply rooted in all things academia.
00:42:37I'm sorry.
00:42:38I just didn't want to spend more time in a lab than in the outdoors.
00:42:46But believe it or not, I'm a desk job guy now.
00:42:51Well, hopefully not forever.
00:42:53And I think we can win.
00:42:57Well, I definitely don't think Brina thinks that.
00:42:59Well, who cares what she thinks?
00:43:01It would be great to prove her wrong.
00:43:14You are so lucky that you have all this in your backyard.
00:43:17I know, right?
00:43:19I love all of these birds, but I know very little about them or what's happening all around them.
00:43:28Like, over here?
00:43:30Do you see that one?
00:43:31Oh, yeah.
00:43:32Look at that.
00:43:33What is it?
00:43:35You really want me to tell you?
00:43:37No.
00:43:40The red-footed mini pigeon.
00:43:44Seriously?
00:43:47The western bluebird.
00:43:50Okay.
00:43:51Wow.
00:43:52You really had me there.
00:43:53I told you you'd get there.
00:44:02That one.
00:44:03I hear those birds all the time, but I can't find them.
00:44:05The little chicks just flew the nest, which feels a little too close to home.
00:44:10Oh, I guess you're not ready for Morgan to leave yet?
00:44:12No, not that she's wanted to hang out much lately.
00:44:15Look, I'm no parent, but I bet you're doing better than you think.
00:44:19It's a parent's job to give their kids roots and then wings.
00:44:21It seems to me like you're doing just that.
00:44:24Of course.
00:44:24You would find an analogy in it.
00:44:28Oh, can you tell me what that is?
00:44:31That's the call of a red-winged blackbird.
00:44:34Do you typically hear a call and a response?
00:44:37Yeah, you usually hear a pair calling back and forth to each other.
00:44:40The male and the female each have different sounds.
00:44:44There it is.
00:44:45Right there.
00:44:46Where?
00:44:46On the branch.
00:44:47See it?
00:44:48That's the female.
00:44:49Oh, yes.
00:44:52It sounds like the other one is just across the stream over there.
00:44:55The males have the distinct red wing.
00:44:58What are they saying?
00:45:02Well, if I knew that, I'd definitely have my own birding business.
00:45:05I walked right into that one, didn't I?
00:45:07You know what I mean, though.
00:45:08I mean, they're obviously trying to communicate something.
00:45:11I don't know exactly, but they're just keeping track of each other, looking for food, making
00:45:17sure no one goes too far.
00:45:19Who knew birds could be so romantic?
00:45:26You did.
00:45:29Maybe.
00:45:30We added 40 today.
00:45:41That's 119.
00:45:43That's our bird count.
00:45:43That's a great day.
00:45:45Where were you at this point last year?
00:45:50Let's not worry about the past.
00:45:52We just want to enjoy this.
00:45:54You?
00:45:56Same.
00:45:56Because this is a whole new ballgame.
00:46:00I don't know if you've heard, but I got a new partner.
00:46:03I may have heard something about her.
00:46:05Smart, enthusiastic.
00:46:06Maybe a little too nice with her coworkers, but hopefully very good at trivia night.
00:46:10They're really going to add 10 points for the winner?
00:46:13Yeah, it's the first year they're doing this.
00:46:14Oh, there's only one problem.
00:46:16What's that?
00:46:16Trivia's on Thursday.
00:46:17You said this would just be weekends.
00:46:19You can't make it?
00:46:22You're joking.
00:46:23Yeah.
00:46:23I'm pretty sure I'm free on Thursday.
00:46:25Okay, good.
00:46:26Good.
00:46:29Well, I guess I should get back to it.
00:46:31I've got to start studying for the big game.
00:46:32Yep, same, same.
00:46:35Have a good sleep.
00:46:36It's going to be a big day tomorrow.
00:46:37I'll be there.
00:46:38Good night.
00:46:39Good night.
00:46:47Wait a second.
00:46:47Wait a second.
00:46:48Wait a second.
00:46:48Wait a second.
00:46:48Wait a second.
00:46:48Wait a second.
00:46:48Wait a second.
00:46:48Wait a second.
00:46:50Wait a second.
00:46:52Wait a second.
00:46:53Yeah.
00:46:54Wait a second.
00:47:02Oh shit.
00:47:03What is it?
00:47:03Well, I'm going to win.
00:47:06I'm going to win.
00:47:07Oh shit.
00:47:08Oh shit.
00:47:09Wait a second.
00:47:10Oh shit.
00:47:10Yeah.
00:47:10Oh shit.
00:47:11Oh shit.
00:47:11Oh shit.
00:47:13Oh shit.
00:47:13Oh shit.
00:47:14Oh shit.
00:47:15I'll roll every window down, let it even show where to go
00:47:21You can find me, where we all run free
00:47:30Ooh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, let it go, let it go
00:47:38Ooh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, let it go, let it go
00:47:46Ooh-oh-oh, let it go, let it go
00:47:50Costas hummingbird
00:47:52Bingo
00:47:54Hey, what are y'all looking at?
00:47:56Shh, right there
00:47:59Oh, sorry, my bad
00:48:01He's here, he's sitting right on that bridge right there
00:48:04Here, take this
00:48:06Wow
00:48:13See, I don't think I'd be any good at this
00:48:17I mean, I can't sit still long enough to tie my shoes, let alone scout for birds
00:48:21Well, I am happy to meet you, Fred, because I can relate
00:48:24I think you'd be surprised
00:48:26You just met the Clark Kent of Birds
00:48:29And only because of migration, otherwise they'd be asleep right now
00:48:32Silverman?
00:48:34Yeah, hummingbirds are faster than cars
00:48:37And just like you on this trail, their wings never stop moving
00:48:41Wow
00:48:43Thanks
00:48:44I wonder what else is out here
00:48:46What?
00:48:54You're really good at this
00:48:55With or without a PhD, you can win this
00:48:59And be a great guide
00:49:01I'm pretty sure Fred would agree
00:49:04You okay?
00:49:19Yeah, this is it
00:49:20Tall trees, old growth forests, the perfect habitat for nesting
00:49:25Spotted owls love places like this
00:49:27I'm impressed
00:49:30You've done your homework
00:49:31I was doing some research and I found this message board
00:49:34And someone claimed to have seen one in this area, even during the daytime
00:49:38Do we get bonus points if we spot one?
00:49:42No, just the satisfaction and the bragging rights
00:49:47And maybe because of you
00:49:51We're gonna see one today
00:49:53Okay
00:49:57Let's be very quiet
00:50:02Look, I see something
00:50:09That's it
00:50:14That's it
00:50:14That's it
00:50:15That's it
00:50:19Bye
00:50:21Bye
00:50:24Bye
00:52:44I do not think I sent you that text.
00:52:47Okay, maybe it was John, but either way, exciting.
00:52:50It's for the contest that you got me into.
00:52:52Yeah, this feels a touch extracurricular.
00:52:55I mean, it's a pub.
00:52:56There are birding points on the line.
00:52:58Oh, that's a whole other ballgame then.
00:53:00Don't you have somewhere to be?
00:53:02Remarkably, no.
00:53:02Well, I do, so go.
00:53:04Okay, bye.
00:53:06Don't forget about our party on Saturday.
00:53:08What party?
00:53:09The anniversary party.
00:53:12Ten years.
00:53:12Wait, I thought, if you want, I swore I did.
00:53:15No.
00:53:16But you did tell me about it.
00:53:17Funny.
00:53:19Very cute invite.
00:53:20I will be there.
00:53:22Now I remember.
00:53:24I ran into John at Pickleball the other day.
00:53:27He's pretty excited about tonight.
00:53:31Just saying.
00:53:31Oh, oh, finally.
00:53:39Well, I'm here before 10 a.m., so, you know, you're welcome.
00:53:42Okay, listen, I got a question for you.
00:53:44How much land mass was given to construction over the last year affecting bird habitat?
00:53:49You're asking me that?
00:53:51I'm pretty sure you get to roll in here after 10 a.m. for a reason.
00:53:54And I got trivia tonight.
00:53:57When will you know the results?
00:53:58For trivia or for the contest?
00:54:00The contest.
00:54:01This weekend.
00:54:02Why?
00:54:04There's an opening for operations, director, that I want to put you up for.
00:54:08Look, it's more managerial, obviously, and we'll need more time in front of a computer screen.
00:54:13But the pay reflects that.
00:54:15So, if you're interested...
00:54:19Can you get me till Monday?
00:54:21Sure, yeah.
00:54:23But that's probably as far as I can push it, though.
00:54:25Thanks, Steve.
00:54:26No problem.
00:54:27And have a good time with your new partner tonight.
00:54:30Why are you saying it like that?
00:54:34I don't know.
00:54:35Celeste and I are just teammates.
00:54:37Oh, okay.
00:54:39Because I was just getting the feeling that you were super excited to spend more time with her.
00:54:43That's all.
00:54:44You know?
00:54:44You know, because you seem super excited.
00:54:47That's the vibe I'm getting.
00:54:48Okay.
00:54:49Yeah.
00:54:49Fine.
00:54:50I am excited.
00:54:53Okay.
00:54:53Now, how about the lamb ask question?
00:54:55I need to know that.
00:54:55I need the win.
00:54:57John, I...
00:54:58I know everything.
00:55:01Come.
00:55:03I knew it.
00:55:13Hi.
00:55:15Hey.
00:55:15Hey.
00:55:16Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:55:18You didn't have to wait for me.
00:55:19I am not going in there without you.
00:55:21Why not?
00:55:22You can hold your own.
00:55:24You look...
00:55:25Don't say it.
00:55:25Really?
00:55:26I'm very focused right now.
00:55:27I have my trivia face on.
00:55:28Okay.
00:55:29Well, I was going to say you look really ready to win.
00:55:31Why do you say that?
00:55:32All tan?
00:55:33Is that coincidence or choice?
00:55:35What do you think?
00:55:36Choice.
00:55:37Correct.
00:55:37Muted colors help ensure the survival for females.
00:55:41And what about this purple situation?
00:55:42Is that dominance?
00:55:43This?
00:55:44Let's hope so.
00:55:46But it was actually so I could attract a mate in the wild, of course.
00:55:52Of course.
00:55:52Yeah.
00:55:53You ready to win?
00:55:54Let's go.
00:55:55Okay.
00:55:55Let's go.
00:55:56Let's do this.
00:55:56Okay.
00:56:01All right.
00:56:02Moving right along.
00:56:04Next question.
00:56:05Which bird uses the prevailing winds to keep cool?
00:56:09I'm sorry, but this question is lacking and needed specifics.
00:56:12Which season, which winds?
00:56:14Oh, God.
00:56:14Take an educated guess.
00:56:16It's trivia night after all.
00:56:18Oh.
00:56:19I'm telling you, it's the burden.
00:56:20That teeny little bird builds a spherical nest with the opening facing the breeze.
00:56:24It's genius.
00:56:27Wow.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29Submit your answers.
00:56:31Is that it?
00:56:32I don't know.
00:56:33But it seems like the right answer.
00:56:35Why don't you?
00:56:36You don't know if I do this.
00:56:38It's such a student becomes the teacher moment.
00:56:41Write it down, John.
00:56:42Okay.
00:56:44And the answer is...
00:56:46The burden.
00:56:48No!
00:56:48Be patient listening has the correct answer.
00:56:57Okay.
00:56:58Now, keeping things going, with an average speed of over 200 miles an hour, which bird isn't
00:57:05just the fastest bird on Earth, but the speediest animal?
00:57:08The answer is peregrine falcons.
00:57:15Four teams get a point on that one.
00:57:17Here we go.
00:57:18Which U.S. president was an avid birder with a life list of over 1,100 species of birds?
00:57:24Clock is ticking.
00:57:26Here we go.
00:57:27And the correct answer is Jimmy Carter.
00:57:31Great job.
00:57:32Team deductions with the correct answer.
00:57:35Next question.
00:57:37This bird species can sleep with one eye open while flying.
00:57:41One eye?
00:57:42All right.
00:57:43Almost there.
00:57:44And the answer is Arctic turn.
00:57:48That's two teams with the correct answer.
00:57:50Which means we have a tie.
00:57:53No.
00:57:54Oh, yes.
00:57:55Deductions and team patient listening, are you ready to do a face-off?
00:58:00Game on.
00:58:01All right.
00:58:01This question's a little different from the others.
00:58:04This question involves a poem by Emily Dickinson.
00:58:07Wait, that's your girl.
00:58:11Poker face.
00:58:12Okay.
00:58:13Everybody ready?
00:58:13In this poem, Dickinson makes a reference to a desert insect known as the cochineal.
00:58:20What is the name of the poem?
00:58:21Come on, Linda.
00:58:22Seriously?
00:58:23I don't make up the questions.
00:58:25I just read them.
00:58:26Come on.
00:58:27Clock is ticking.
00:58:29Do you know the answer to this?
00:58:30I've read it a dozen times.
00:58:31Okay.
00:58:32Well, speak from the heart, young Jedi.
00:58:36All right.
00:58:36Time's up.
00:58:37Let's see who's the most literary amongst us.
00:58:40And the answer is...
00:58:42The Hummingbird.
00:58:44The Hummingbird.
00:58:46Yay!
00:58:46Which means team patient listening, you are our winners!
00:58:49I cannot believe you're relatively new to this.
00:59:05You're a natural.
00:59:06You should totally come on a birding trip with us.
00:59:09I have no idea what that consists of, but yes, I'm in.
00:59:12Really?
00:59:12This has been a ton of fun.
00:59:14You have been a ton of fun.
00:59:15More fun than I've had in years.
00:59:17I'd love to be included.
00:59:18How do you feel about Arizona?
00:59:21My daughter is going to college there soon, so I'd love an excuse to visit.
00:59:26Rina, hey.
00:59:31Hey.
00:59:32I just wanted to say goodnight and congratulations.
00:59:38I mean, cut you a meal.
00:59:40Wow, a lucky guess, huh?
00:59:43Celeste actually knew the whole poem.
00:59:45I guess that would be in her wheelhouse, English teacher and all.
00:59:48What, did you...
00:59:49Did you Google her or something?
00:59:51It's important to know your competition.
00:59:52But since she's never entered a birding contest before, I'm feeling pretty good about our odds.
00:59:57Hey, at least you seem happy.
01:00:01So you're saying that if we lose, at least there's that?
01:00:06No offense, but I would have picked a partner with more experience.
01:00:09I had one.
01:00:11Remember?
01:00:12And then you chose Laszlo.
01:00:15I think we're done here.
01:00:17John, I didn't mean to insult.
01:00:19You did.
01:00:19Brina, you meant to insult Celeste and then me along the way.
01:00:24But she's incredible.
01:00:25And I wouldn't have won tonight without her.
01:00:28You know, I don't need your advice or your approval.
01:00:33Not anymore.
01:00:40We did it!
01:00:42We won!
01:00:43Go on!
01:00:43You saved us in the end.
01:00:46You were incredible.
01:00:47How are you?
01:00:48I saw you in there talking to Brina.
01:00:51You know what?
01:00:52I'm...
01:00:52I'm fine.
01:00:55I was just...
01:00:56I'm wondering what I was trying to prove and...
01:01:00Why to her, you know?
01:01:03It's...
01:01:04You know, I'm finally over it.
01:01:07Enough about that.
01:01:08Tonight, we're victorious.
01:01:12So we should, you know, go out.
01:01:15I would love to.
01:01:16But I've got an early morning tomorrow and Morgan's probably waiting for me.
01:01:21About that, just...
01:01:23Think chickadees.
01:01:25Chickadees?
01:01:26Well, you've read and seen how skittish they can be.
01:01:29But with patience and positive, consistent interaction.
01:01:32Are you talking about my daughter or birds?
01:01:35Just let her come to you in her own time.
01:01:37That's...
01:01:38That's all I'm saying.
01:01:40Okay.
01:01:42Do you need a lift?
01:01:44I actually called a rideshare.
01:01:46It should be here any minute.
01:01:50Um...
01:01:51Are you going to Eva's party Saturday night?
01:01:55Yeah, the 10th anniversary bash.
01:01:57Yeah, you?
01:01:58Same.
01:02:00Should we go together?
01:02:02Like...
01:02:03As a couple?
01:02:04I'm assuming your co-workers are going to be there, so...
01:02:08Oh, right.
01:02:09Yeah, yeah.
01:02:10I mean, obviously, we've got to keep this all up for, like, a little bit longer.
01:02:13Right.
01:02:16My rides here.
01:02:18I should probably go.
01:02:21Although, honestly, I'd just like to spend more time with you without the birds.
01:02:24What?
01:02:25Do my ears deceive me?
01:02:27No birds?
01:02:27Is that a yes or a no to me picking you up?
01:02:30You can't just leave me hanging here.
01:02:31Well, I can't say no to that shirt.
01:02:33Well, I'm glad I wore it, then.
01:02:38Good night.
01:02:39Good night.
01:02:40Good night.
01:02:40Good night.
01:02:40Good night.
01:02:44From your strong foundation and warrior pose.
01:03:01So you kissed again?
01:03:03Yes.
01:03:03But this time it wasn't even planned.
01:03:06It just sort of happened.
01:03:07And then he asked you out on a date to our party.
01:03:09Yes.
01:03:10No.
01:03:11I mean, I don't know.
01:03:11It's hard to know what's real or fake anymore.
01:03:13And I don't want to think it's something it's not.
01:03:15And then just get hurt again.
01:03:17Oh, oh, oh.
01:03:19No, this is how we'll get hurt.
01:03:21Sorry, eagle pose.
01:03:22I give up.
01:03:24Yeah, me too.
01:03:28But you like him, right?
01:03:30This is all your fault.
01:03:32Lame, I will happily accept.
01:03:33Just have fun.
01:03:35It's going to be a great night.
01:03:36Don't overthink it.
01:03:38You think you can do that?
01:03:39I guess we'll find out.

01:18:19who is the thing with feathers?
01:18:20that perch
01:18:24Hope is the thing with feathers
01:18:48that perches in the soul
01:18:50and sings the tune without the words.
01:18:54And never stops at all.
01:19:04Dickinson, you inspired me.
01:19:07Really? I did?
01:19:09We've been through a lot of hard change in this past year,
01:19:12but you didn't let it beat you.
01:19:16You got back out into the world,
01:19:18found a new path, and...
01:19:21I've seen you come alive again.
01:19:24Mom, you're amazing.
01:19:31Thank you, and now I'm crying.
01:19:33That's fine.
01:19:35And I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner about the gap year.
01:19:39I think I was second-guessing it, but...
01:19:41I'm not anymore.
01:19:43I want to find my own path.
01:19:45Just like you.
01:19:46You gave me my wings to fly.
01:19:53And I promise I will always come back.
01:19:57You know that, right?
01:20:00I do.
01:20:06And I want you to find the path that's right for you.
01:20:10Not anything that's forced.
01:20:15I know.
01:20:18Oh, look at that.
01:20:21What?
01:20:21Your friend is here.
01:20:23Oh, look, Morgan.
01:20:37More art.
01:20:47What are you doing here?
01:20:49I wanted to bring you these.
01:20:53You know, big day.
01:20:55Thought you might be hungry.
01:20:58You brought me french fries.
01:21:02Perfect for any occasion.
01:21:06Like, admitting I don't always say what I'm thinking.
01:21:09Same.
01:21:11Same.
01:21:15Look.
01:21:16I know this wasn't supposed to be anything.
01:21:21And as cheesy as it may sound.
01:21:23Just like the red-winged blackbird.
01:21:25In my backyard?
01:21:31I don't want to lose sight of you.
01:21:33The bird analogy really works here.
01:21:39I thought about it the whole way over.
01:21:41I didn't mean to fall for you.
01:21:43That was not my intention at all.
01:21:46So does that mean you did fall?
01:21:50Apparently so.
01:21:51And I didn't even realize it until we were at even Nathan's.
01:21:56And then suddenly I didn't want to pretend anymore.
01:22:00I stopped pretending a long time ago.
01:22:04Well, you should probably kiss me then.
01:22:06So, what do you think about hop-along birding?
01:22:33or Light Club for my new business.
01:22:38You're going to go for it?
01:22:40Like you said, I think it's time I take the risk.
01:22:44It's now or never.
01:22:45I am in full support.
01:22:48It's also time that I follow through on everything I'm passionate about.
01:22:53Agreed.
01:22:55And this is just the beginning.
01:23:01So...
01:23:02What about that name?
01:23:04I think we should work on it.
01:23:05But you might be on to something.
01:23:08I hope so.
01:23:09I think we should work on it.
01:23:13I think we should work on it.
01:23:15I think we should work on it.
01:23:19I think we should work on it.
01:23:22We should work on it.
