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.
00:10:45I've been through this.
00:11:04I've been through this.
00:11:04I've been through this.
00:11:05I've been through this.
00:11:06I've been through this.
00:11:08I've been through this interview with you.
00:11:08Hey, everybody, how's this office you've been through?
00:11:11sair rider rider rider rider rider rider
00:11:11Does it help you keep me out of a car?
00:11:13Are you interested in the original girl,
00:11:14Well, 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 bases.
00:12:31Celeste?
00:12:31Hey, you 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?
00:13:30Celeste Johanson, 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 and 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, you 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.
00:16:06Or 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.
00:16:22Good 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.
00:16:45The birding, the fake dating.
00:16:48Apparently, I need to step out of my comfort zone.
00:16:51So, here we are.
00:16:52Yeah?
00:16:53And 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.
00:17:11I'm sorry, did she just say three weeks?
00:17:15You still in?
00:17:18You're gonna love it.
00:17:23I 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,
00:17:37why don't you...
00:17:39Here.
00:17:41Take a look right there, okay?
00:17:43Tell 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.
00:17:54Between 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...
00:18:05That's totally fine.
00:18:06So far, we've seen, what, five birds?
00:18:08And three of those birds are the same as the first one,
00:18:11the white cap...
00:18:11The white crowned sparrow.
00:18:13The white crowned 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 Stomach 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.
00:19:35It'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?
00:19:48Eventually, you get to know one bird so well that you can identify it easily.
00:19:52Or its song.
00:19:54You know, it starts with an initial curiosity and then it morphs into something more powerful.
00:20:00You 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.
00:20:21We 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?
00:20:40You 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.
00:20:49Yeah, 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.
00:20:57Well, today we are going to see herons, egrets, ducks.
00:21:06Oh, there's one.
00:21:08Oh, yeah?
00:21:09Some kind of heron.
00:21:10Yeah, that's a great blue heron.
00:21:11Look right there.
00:21:22Snowy egret.
00:21:25Oh, I see him!
00:21:26Okay, all right.
00:21:29Now you're just scaring the birds.
00:21:31I'm sorry.
00:21:31Right?
00:21:32Of course.
00:21:32Quiet, coyote.
00:21:34Very quiet.
00:21:39Fake date?
00:21:41Are you kidding me?
00:21:42How 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?
00:22:16Oh.
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.
00:22:28Mama.
00:22:29You 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.
00:22:52We have always bonded over food.
00:22:55That's our thing.
00:22:55I mean, she's going to 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.
00:23:13And 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.
00:24:31Okay.
00:24:32I'll see you soon.
00:24:36What in the world?
00:24:41I appreciate your enthusiasm and just wanted to say thank you.
00:24:45The 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.
00:24:57But 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 role 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.
00:25:26Do what?
00:25:29The 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, though flown shout in a distant tree, bright melody for me return.
00:26:06Let me guess.
00:26:13Autobahn's Birds of America?
00:26:14That's en route.
00:26:15But no, Emily Dickinson.
00:26:17I never realized how many writers were 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.
00:26:29What 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 for a prize that big?
00:26:44You record what you see.
00:26:46That sounds ripe for cheating or mistakes.
00:26:49Especially from someone like me who 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 than making a list.
00:26:58Like the other day?
00:26:59How do you mean?
00:27:01Well, instead of just running around like chickens with our heads cut off.
00:27:05Oh, wow.
00:27:05That's a terrible saying.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07Yeah.
00:27:07Well, I won't disagree.
00:27:08You made me slow down and just look at the bird.
00:27:15It's the kind of guiding I want to do for 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 and 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?
00:27:51Stop avoiding the question.
00:27:53No, 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 jay.
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.
00:28:05So, where'd you see it?
00:28:10Right up here.
00:28:11That way?
00:28:12All right.
00:28:12Let's go.
00:28:13I grew up in Cleveland, a place called Shaker Heights, and now I'm a high school English teacher.
00:28:22That's it?
00:28:24I don't mean that's it, like that's all you got going on, but what else about you?
00:28:28Well, let'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, and 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, Mendocino, about two hours north of here.
00:28:59There wasn't really much to do or going on, so I started birding.
00:29:07And 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.
00:29:18Oh, look yonder.
00:29:21A scrub jay is in sight.
00:29:23Oh, yeah, look 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, do you happen to have any despair on 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.
00:30:06But full disclosure, I may have insinuated something that 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 I'm still in high school with all the gossip and the drama and the people in your business trying to set you up because 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 and 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, they 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, I don't want to be that person anymore.
00:30:45What, what person?
00:30:47The one people pity.
00:30:48I just want to go and I want to bowl and raise some money for the kids.
00:30:52I'm in.
00:30:53Really?
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:56I owe you.
00:31:01Girl, you look great in everything.
00:31:03What's the big deal?
00:31:04Well, it's not every day you 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, so it's got to be casual, but cute enough for early dating.
00:31:19Whatever that means, that's tragic.
00:31:23Oh, please, don't hold back.
00:31:24Hey, you called me.
00:31:27What about this?
00:31:28Oh, better.
00:31:30But?
00:31:32Oh, it's Morgan.
00:31:33I got to go.
00:31:34Better?
00:31:34Was it a yes?
00:31:35I can't do the same concept as every other artist.
00:31:40It's the Junior Art Collective.
00:31:42My last one.
00:31:45Hi, honey.
00:31:47You're home.
00:31:48I got to go.
00:31:49How was your day?
00:31:52Okay.
00:31:53Except my art project is a disaster.
00:31:56You get nervous every year, and I know it's going to 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.
00:32:05I 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?
00:32:24In choosing VAU?
00:32:27This has been the goal of the path for 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, we 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.
00:32:49We 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, that's something I definitely needed to know.
00:33:33We good?
00:33:34Did 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.
00:33:48You 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?
00:34:07How did you guys meet?
00:34:08Yes.
00:34:09How did you meet?
00:34:10You know what, ladies?
00:34:11Why 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.
00:34:23Woo!
00:34:23Woo!
00:34:24Yeah.
00:34:24Woo!
00:34:25You don't rush
00:34:26Cause our time has begun now.
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:32Brushes on, start the song in through control.
00:34:38Yeah.
00:34:40I'm reaching out, can I touch the clouds, try to pull me down, kicking my feet on the ground.
00:34:48Yes, you and me, come and feel this beat, there's a world to see, kicking my feet on the ground.
00:34:56I'm reaching out, can I touch the clouds, try to pull me down, kicking my feet on the ground.
00:35:04Yes, you and me, come and feel this beat, there's a world to see, kicking my feet on the ground.
00:35:13So, 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.
00:35:28I kind of have to agree, I mean, did you see how she was all over him and teaching him out of goal, and he didn't even touch her?
00:35:38Ugh, is it bad that I feel sorry for her?
00:35:40Yeah, same. I mean, when I think of her a whole year alone, yeah, 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 a sec, yeah?
00:35:58Sure.
00:36:01Where's your candy?
00:36:02Uh, well, um...
00:36:04They didn't have any?
00:36:05I didn't make it to the front of the line.
00:36:07I 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.
00:36:29Me being into you. I haven't been selling it enough. I'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.
00:36:39Hmm, how?
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.
00:36:52Okay.
00:37:06It's vanilla, isn't it?
00:37:08What?
00:37:10Your perfume.
00:37:12Oh, it's lavender.
00:37:14And I think vanilla and 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.
00:37:22Everyone is watching us.
00:37:30Yeah, they are.
00:37:31Yeah.
00:37:33I mean, we, we should probably kiss, right? Being 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.
00:37:52We should.
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:54We should probably go.
00:37:55Yeah.
00:37:56We should probably go.
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:58Good morning tomorrow.
00:37:59With the birds.
00:38:00With the birds.
00:38:01With the birds.
00:38:03Come.
00:38:04Your shoes.
00:38:05Yep.
00:38:06There's my shoes.
00:38:07Okay.
00:38:08All right.
00:38:09Bye-bye.
00:38:10Bye-bye.
00:38:11Bye.
00:38:12Bye-bye.
00:38:13Bye-bye.
00:38:14Bye-bye.
00:38:15Bye.
00:38:16Bye-bye.
00:38:17Bye-bye.
00:38:20Mom, this new bird cam is so cool.
00:38:22It is, right?
00:38:23I've been watching it all morning.
00:38:25I know you like a clean house, but this feels excessive.
00:38:30What's wrong?
00:38:31Nothing's wrong.
00:38:32Our living room just needed some sprucing.
00:38:35Does this have anything to do with your bird friend coming over?
00:38:38What?
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.
00:38:45Our backyard happens to be a bit of a bird sanctuary, according to a guide to native birds of California.
00:38:52Whatever you say.
00:38:54Have you talked to your roommate about who's bringing the fridge?
00:38:57Oh, and I was thinking we could run out and get matching duvets.
00:39:00I've got time now.
00:39:02I'm actually meeting up with some friends at the art studio.
00:39:06Oh.
00:39:07I'll get to it, okay?
00:39:08Sorry, 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.
00:39:18I 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?
00:39:29Yeah.
00:39:30I know that.
00:39:31And I will when I meet someone I like.
00:39:33It's all about timing.
00:39:34So not this new bird guy?
00:39:36Pretty sure he's still hung up on his ex.
00:39:38So yeah.
00:39:39No, not going to go there.
00:39:40Whatever you say.
00:39:42Have fun organizing your living room.
00:39:45It's still our living room.
00:39:47You haven't moved out yet.
00:39:49I'm sure you're counting the days.
00:39:56Uh, Mom, someone's asking for you on the porch.
00:39:59What?
00:40:00Already?
00:40:01Tall, nerdy surfer vibe.
00:40:02Is he your birding friend?
00:40:04Why are you saying it like that?
00:40:05No reason.
00:40:06Did you just leave him out there?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09His name is John, by the way.
00:40:11Come on in, John.
00:40:18Hi.
00:40:19Hi.
00:40:20You're early.
00:40:21Uh.
00:40:22I thought we said ten.
00:40:23Really?
00:40:24I thought we said nine.
00:40:26Is it okay you came in?
00:40:27Your daughter just told me to.
00:40:28She was just leaving.
00:40:29Yeah.
00:40:30And that's good.
00:40:31Because now you've met my daughter.
00:40:33I mean, not that it's like super significant that my daughter meet my birding partner.
00:40:36Although we are on our second weekend, so that does feel pretty significant.
00:40:41So it's okay I came in?
00:40:43Yeah, it's great.
00:40:44I'm gonna go grab my stuff and then we can find some feathers.
00:40:46All right.
00:40:47Cool.
00:40:52Now I don't know if we're supposed to pick favorites, but the yellow warbler is definitely the most attractive bird we've seen.
00:40:59So far.
00:41:00They're like a sunburst with wings and those little nests they make.
00:41:04They're like coffee mugs.
00:41:06Adorable.
00:41:07You 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?
00:41:14Numbers wise.
00:41:15Mm-hmm.
00:41:16Well, it's tough to say when we don't know others count.
00:41:18Well, can't we just ask them?
00:41:19I'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.
00:41:27So?
00:41:28So, 97 is decent.
00:41:31Teams can spot up to 200 bird species per weekend.
00:41:36200 per weekend?
00:41:38We're nowhere near where we need to be.
00:41:40Let's go.
00:41:43Oh, hey.
00:41:44An injury is not gonna help us.
00:41:46Well, stop distracting me.
00:41:48Oh, I'm distracting you.
00:41:49Mm-hmm.
00:41:50Let's go.
00:41:51Where are we going?
00:41:52Yonder.
00:41:53Hmm.
00:41:54That?
00:41:55Yonder it is.
00:41:56I know you liked doing this as a kid, but did you actually study ornithology in school?
00:42:02Biology.
00:42:03With a minor in ornithology, I made up my concentration in grad school.
00:42:07Masters or PhD?
00:42:09Masters initially.
00:42:11Bryna really wanted me to do the whole tenure track professorship like her.
00:42:18Which made sense until...
00:42:21Laszlo?
00:42:22I realized I hated it.
00:42:26So I dropped out.
00:42:30Much to Bryna's dismay.
00:42:32Hence, 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.
00:42:48But 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.
00:42:56Well, I definitely don't think Bryna thinks that.
00:42:59Well, who cares what she thinks?
00:43:04It would be great to prove her wrong.
00:43:06You are so lucky that you have all this in your backyard.
00:43:17I know, right?
00:43:19I love all of these birds.
00:43:22But I know very little about them.
00:43:25Or what's happening all around them.
00:43:28Like, over here?
00:43:29Do you see that one?
00:43:31Oh yeah, look at that.
00:43:32What is it?
00:43:34You really want me to tell you?
00:43:36No.
00:43:37The red-footed mini-pigeon.
00:43:42Seriously?
00:43:43The western bluebird.
00:43:47Okay.
00:43:48Wow.
00:43:49You really had me there.
00:43:52I told you you'd get there.
00:43:57That one.
00:43:58That one.
00:43:59I 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.
00:44:09Oh.
00:44:10I guess you're not ready for Morgan to leave yet?
00:44:12No.
00:44:13Not 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.
00:44:18It's a parent's job to give their kids roots and then wings.
00:44:21Seems to me like you're doing just that.
00:44:23Of course.
00:44:24You would find an analogy in it.
00:44:26Oh, can you tell me what that is?
00:44:30That's the call of a red-winged blackbird.
00:44:33Do you typically hear a call and a response?
00:44:36Yeah, you usually hear a pair calling back and forth to each other.
00:44:39The male and the female each have different sounds.
00:44:42There it is.
00:44:44Right there.
00:44:45Where?
00:44:46On the branch.
00:44:47See it?
00:44:48That's the female.
00:44:49Oh, yes.
00:44:51It sounds like the other one is just across the stream over there.
00:44:54The males have the distinct red wing.
00:44:56What are they saying?
00:44:59Well, if I knew that, I'd definitely have my own birding business.
00:45:04I walked right into that one, didn't I?
00:45:06Yeah, you did.
00:45:07You know what I mean, though.
00:45:08I mean, they're obviously trying to communicate something.
00:45:10I don't know exactly, but they're just keeping track of each other,
00:45:14looking for food, making sure no one goes too far.
00:45:18Who knew birds could be so romantic?
00:45:21You did.
00:45:26Maybe.
00:45:38We added 40 today.
00:45:41That's 119.
00:45:42That's our bird count.
00:45:43That's a great day.
00:45:44Hey.
00:45:45Where were you at this point last year?
00:45:49Let's not worry about the past.
00:45:51I just want to enjoy this.
00:45:54You?
00:45:55Same.
00:45:56Because this is a whole new ball game.
00:45:59I don't know if you've heard, but I got a new partner.
00:46:02I may have heard something about her.
00:46:04Smart, enthusiastic.
00:46:05Maybe a little too nice with her coworkers, but hopefully very good at trivia night.
00:46:09They're really going to add 10 points for the winner?
00:46:12Yeah, it's the first year they're doing this.
00:46:13Oh, there's only one problem.
00:46:15What's that?
00:46:16Trivia's on Thursday.
00:46:17You said this would just be weekends.
00:46:18You can't make it?
00:46:21You're joking.
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:23I'm pretty sure I'm free on Thursday.
00:46:24Okay.
00:46:25Good.
00:46:26Good.
00:46:27Well, I guess I should get back to it.
00:46:30I've got to start studying for the big game.
00:46:32Yep.
00:46:33Same.
00:46:34Same.
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.
00:46:48Okay.
00:46:57Good night.
00:47:18Bye!
00:47:21Bye!
00:47:22Here we go!
00:47:25Can't find me, where we all run free
00:47:29Ooh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
00:47:34Ooh-oh-oh-oh
00:47:36Let it go, let it go
00:47:38Ooh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
00:47:42Ooh-oh-oh-oh
00:47:44Let 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!
00:47:57Right there.
00:47:58Oh, sorry, my bad.
00:48:00You see him?
00:48:01He's sitting right on that bridge right there.
00:48:04Here, take this.
00:48:12Wow!
00:48:14See?
00:48:15I 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,
00:48:19let alone scout for birds.
00:48:21Well, I am happy to meet you, Fred,
00:48:23because I can relate.
00:48:24I think you'd be surprised.
00:48:26You just met the Clark Kent of birds.
00:48:28Huh?
00:48:29And only because of migration,
00:48:30otherwise they'd be asleep right now.
00:48:32Silverman?
00:48:33Yeah, hummingbirds are faster than cars.
00:48:36And just like you on this trail,
00:48:38their wings never stop moving.
00:48:40Wow.
00:48:41Thanks.
00:48:42I wonder what else is out here.
00:48:45What?
00:48:46You're really good at this.
00:48:47With or without a PhD, you can win this.
00:48:50And be a great guide.
00:48:51Pretty sure Fred would agree.
00:48:52You okay?
00:48:53Yeah.
00:48:54This is it.
00:48:55Tall trees, old-growth forest, the perfect habitat for nesting.
00:48:58Spotted owls love places like this.
00:48:59You okay?
00:49:00Yeah.
00:49:01This is it.
00:49:02I'm pretty sure Fred would agree.
00:49:17You okay?
00:49:18Yeah. This is it.
00:49:20Tall trees, old-growth forests, the perfect habitat for nesting.
00:49:25Spotted owls love places like this.
00:49:28I'm impressed. You'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?
00:49:41No, just the, uh, the satisfaction and the bragging rights.
00:49:49And maybe because of you, we're gonna see one today.
00:49:56Okay.
00:50:01Let's be very quiet.
00:50:08Look, I see something.
00:50:13That's it.
00:50:31That's it.
00:50:32That's it.
00:53:00Don't you have somewhere to be?
00:53:02Remarkably, no.
00:53:02Well, I do.
00:53:03So, 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...
00:53:13If you want, I swore I did.
00:53:15No.
00:53:16But you did tell me about it.
00:53:18Funny.
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?
00:54:02There'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.
00:54:14But the pay reflects that.
00:54:15So, if you're interested...
00:54:19Can you get me till Monday?
00:54:21Sure.
00:54:22Yeah.
00:54:23But that's probably as far as I can push it, though.
00:54:25Thanks, Steve.
00:54:26No problem.
00:54:26And, uh, have a good time with your new partner tonight.
00:54:32Why are you saying it like that?
00:54:34I don't know.
00:54:35Celeste and I are just teammates.
00:54:37Oh.
00:54:38Okay.
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?
00:54:45Because 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 landmass 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.
00:55:19Oh, I 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.
00:55:25I'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.
00:55:38Muted 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.
00:55:45But 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.
00:55:57All 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 wins?
00:56:14Oh God, take an educated guess.
00:56:16It's trivia night after all.
00:56:18Oh.
00:56:19I'm telling you, it's the bird in that teeny little bird builds a spherical nest with the
00:56:23opening facing the breeze.
00:56:24It's genius.
00:56:24Yes.
00:56:27Wow.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29Submit your answers.
00:56:31Is that it?
00:56:32I don't know, but 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 Verdant.
00:56:50Be patient listening has the correct answer.
00:56:54Now, keeping things going, with an average speed of over 200 miles an hour, which bird
00:57:05isn't just the fastest bird on Earth, but the speediest animal?
00:57:11The 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?
00:57:24The clock is ticking.
00:57:26Here we go.
00:57:28And the correct answer is Jimmy Carter.
00:57:31Great job.
00:57:32Team deductions with the correct answer.
00:57:35Next question.
00:57:36This 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.
00:57:47That's two teams with the correct answer.
00:57:50Which means we have a tie.
00:57:53No.
00:57:54Yes.
00:57:55Deductions and team patient listening.
00:57:57Are 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.
00:58:07That's your girl.
00:58:08I know.
00:58:11Poker face.
00:58:12Okay.
00:58:13Everybody ready?
00:58:14In 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.
00:58:29You 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.
00:58:34All right.
00:58:36Time's up.
00:58:37Let's see who's the most literary amongst us.
00:58:40And the answer is the hummingbird.
00:58:44The hummingbird.
00:58:46Yay!
00:58:47Which means team patient listening, you are our winners.
00:59:03I 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.
00:59:08I 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.
00:59:18Ugh.
00:59:19How do you feel about Arizona?
00:59:21My daughter is going to college there soon, so I'd love an excuse to visit.
00:59:27All right.
00:59:28Thanks for you.
00:59:28Rina.
00:59:31Rina, 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.
00:59:40A lucky guess, huh?
00:59:43Celeste actually knew the whole poem.
00:59:45I guess that would be in her wheelhouse.
00:59:47English 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.
01:00:13I think we're done here.
01:00:17John, I didn't mean to insult.
01:00:19You did.
01:00:20Rina, 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 up!
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 Rina.
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?
01:01:04It's...
01:01:04You know, I'm finally over it.
01:01:07Enough about that.
01:01:09Tonight, we are victorious.
01:01:11So we should, you know, go out.
01:01:14Oh, I 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 think 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 all I'm saying.
01:01:38Okay.
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...
01:01:50Are you going to Eva's party Saturday night?
01:01:55Yeah, the 10th anniversary bash.
01:01:57Yeah, you?
01:01:58Same.
01:01:58Should we go together?
01:02:02Like, as 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.
01:02:19Although, 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.
01:02:49From your strong foundation at 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, and I don't want to think it's something it's
01:03:15not and just get hurt again.
01:03:17Oh, oh, oh.
01:03:18No, 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.
01:03:41Ah.
01:03:48Don't overthink it.
01:04:03That's it.
01:04:05Ñ‹
01:04:05You hate.
01:04:06I guess we'll find out.
01:04:06I guess we can do things today.
01:04:07You could find out there, even inside those.
01:04:08Like Ray Rice você Chang.
01:04:09Me Najib.
01:04:10You're all right.
01:04:10You're right.
01:04:11You're right.
01:04:11Hey mom. Hey! Are you sure you don't want to come? To a party with my high school teachers?
01:04:25Thanks, but I'm good. And how are you feeling about your artwork? I still can't believe
01:04:31it's the last time you'll show at the Junior Art Collective. Don't cry. And I'm feeling
01:04:37better now that I've changed a few things. You really won't show me? I want you to have
01:04:42the same experience of surprise as everyone else. And I can't believe the closing reception
01:04:46is also tomorrow night, but as soon as they announce the winner, I'm out of there. It's
01:04:51fine. You don't have to rush. Oh, I will rush. I promise.
01:04:59I'll get it. No, no, no. I'll get it. No, let me. Morgan.
01:05:07Hi, Morgan. Your friend is here.
01:05:16Hi. Hi.
01:05:23Do you think she got a designer? Hmm. But it's nice. She's got good taste.
01:05:27So glad you two could make it. Because we have a big surprise for you all.
01:05:32I mean, it's not that big, but yeah. It's a little big.
01:05:34Yeah. If it's for her, it better be diamonds. No one wants tin or aluminum for their tin.
01:05:38Something bright and shiny.
01:05:40Tin stands for strength and resilience.
01:05:43Mm-hmm.
01:05:44Which I love, but it's not about all of that. It's about having the party that we wanted to
01:05:49have 10 years ago.
01:05:51All right, you two. Time for a treat.
01:05:54You two, go enjoy the party.
01:05:56Happy Anniversary. You look so beautiful.
01:06:02Hi.
01:06:02Hey, Eva. Congrats.
01:06:05Thank you. You two are a good-looking couple.
01:06:10It's that champagne.
01:06:12Only the finest for you two.
01:06:14Thanks, man.
01:06:14Happy Anniversary.
01:06:15Big day.
01:06:16Cheers, cheers.
01:06:17Cheers to you two.
01:06:17So, you ready for this?
01:06:19Mm.
01:06:20It better not be another competition.
01:06:22No.
01:06:24Better.
01:06:24Come on.
01:06:25Follow me.
01:06:25He's been talking about it.
01:06:26Come on.
01:06:27You guys are going to love it.
01:06:28You're going to love it.
01:06:37We searched far and wide for a killer DJ.
01:06:41So, I want to see everyone out here.
01:06:44No excuses.
01:06:45No excuses?
01:06:46Why are you looking at me?
01:06:53Well, I guess we're dancing.
01:06:54You did say everyone.
01:06:57Do you dance?
01:06:58Oh, I dance.
01:06:59At least better than I boy.
01:07:05My lady?
01:07:05You want to leave those kids behind?
01:07:07Let this party go on.
01:07:09Oh, is that your move?
01:07:12Yeah.
01:07:12Oh.
01:07:15I'm impressed.
01:07:18You haven't even seen me do the electric slide yet.
01:07:21Me?
01:07:22I want to see it.
01:07:23Look at this.
01:07:27You do know the electric slide.
01:07:29Now I'm equally impressed.
01:07:31What do you say?
01:07:47It's the perfect song for you.
01:07:49What do you mean?
01:07:52Just listen.
01:07:53Why do birds suddenly appear?
01:07:59Every time you are near you, just like me.
01:08:07They long to be close to you.
01:08:13That's the song.
01:08:15I told you it was perfect.
01:08:17Every time you walk by, just like me.
01:08:25They long to be close to you.
01:08:31On the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true.
01:08:40So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of golden starlight.
01:08:45What are we doing?
01:08:47I don't know.
01:08:51Pretending?
01:08:51All the girls in town follow you all around.
01:08:57We need you to stop.
01:08:59Just like me.
01:09:02They long to be close to you.
01:09:07On the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true.
01:09:15So they...
01:09:16Is everything okay?
01:09:27Yeah.
01:09:28Yeah.
01:09:28I just...
01:09:28I haven't checked my messages in a while.
01:09:30I wasn't sure if Morgan was trying to get a hold of me.
01:09:33Nice to see you too.
01:09:34Andrea is weaving too, so I'm gonna get a ride with her.
01:09:37What's going on?
01:09:44Did I do something?
01:09:46No.
01:09:46It's just a big day tomorrow.
01:09:48With Morgan's art show and the end of all of this.
01:09:53The reception?
01:09:54I just need to go.
01:09:56Celeste, I don't understand why you're leaving.
01:09:59I'm sorry.
01:10:01I just, I can't pretend anymore.
01:10:03But fingers crossed we win.
01:10:21It was really nice talking to both of you.
01:10:23I hope everything works out.
01:10:25Good night.
01:10:25Good night.
01:10:27Long distance at 23?
01:10:29Please.
01:10:30I don't know who thinks that's gonna work.
01:10:31Had you not met her yet, the new hire?
01:10:33She just moved here from South Carolina.
01:10:35You know what?
01:10:35She's fine.
01:10:37They will figure it out and they'll be fine.
01:10:40What isn't fine is you all talking about their personal lives like it's a pastime.
01:10:44We need to be bigger than that.
01:10:48Okay.
01:10:50Heard.
01:10:51And you may have also heard me say I was pretending with John.
01:10:55And it's true.
01:10:57He's not into me.
01:10:58He was never into me.
01:11:00It's a fake relationship that I should have never felt the need to create.
01:11:04But because you all were pitying me, I started pitying myself.
01:11:08That's not what we were doing.
01:11:10It's okay.
01:11:10It actually, it pushed me to try new things.
01:11:13And to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.
01:11:16And to realize I'm okay.
01:11:18On my own.
01:11:19Like, really okay.
01:11:23Okay.
01:11:24Okay.
01:11:24Okay.
01:11:24Okay.
01:11:24Okay.
01:11:30Did you get enough to eat?
01:11:43Are you okay?
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:44Of course I am.
01:11:45Why would I not be?
01:11:46I just, I want to make sure you are ready for your show.
01:11:49I'm ready.
01:11:50What about you and your birding reception?
01:11:52I am assuming it will be short and sweet and I will be out of there in no time.
01:11:58I'm crossing my fingers you win.
01:12:00I'll be at your show the second I can.
01:12:02Hey mom.
01:12:13Yeah?
01:12:16I'm not going.
01:12:17To what?
01:12:18Your show?
01:12:20VAU.
01:12:22VAU?
01:12:23What are you talking about?
01:12:24At least not straight away.
01:12:26I just need some more time to decide.
01:12:29I'm looking into some art schools.
01:12:30Oh honey, you can do all that.
01:12:33After you finish undergrad, it's only four years.
01:12:36I've already made up my mind.
01:12:38Unlit admissions and my dorm roommate know?
01:12:41Dad knows.
01:12:42I don't understand this.
01:12:45This is a massive shift.
01:12:47Why didn't we talk about it?
01:12:49It just, it just doesn't feel right anymore.
01:12:53I'll see you tonight.
01:13:01Yeah.
01:13:02I'll see you tonight.
01:13:04I'll see you tonight.
01:13:04I'll see you tonight.
01:13:34John, I think we all enjoyed meeting Celeste.
01:13:38I hope she competes again with you next year.
01:13:40Well, that would be nice.
01:13:44And soon we need to talk about plans for the Arizona trip.
01:13:47Excuse me.
01:13:48It's good to see you.
01:13:56You too.
01:14:01Celeste, I'm...
01:14:01I'm feeling pretty good.
01:14:03The birds found us.
01:14:05We were lucky.
01:14:06It's not luck when you're the best.
01:14:08It's time.
01:14:12We have a short slideshow before the contest.
01:14:14So if everyone could gather round, shall we?
01:14:20After you.
01:14:21Two hundred and sixty-nine is impressive for bird species in such a short period of time.
01:14:43Do you think it's enough?
01:14:43Whatever it is, it's okay.
01:14:51So we know there can only be one winner.
01:15:01But I am happy to announce that this has been our highest scoring year yet.
01:15:06With the best prizes and, dare I say, the most entertaining slideshow.
01:15:13But all that makes this moment all the harder for me.
01:15:16You're all wonderful and talented.
01:15:19But the winner of this year's annual NorCal Ornithological Society Bird-a-thon, with an amazing total of 278 birds, let's hear it for Winged Warriors!
01:15:37It's okay.
01:15:40You did great.
01:15:42We did.
01:15:45Well, there's always next year.
01:15:47And besides, we got to see a spotted owl.
01:15:53This was your coin toss.
01:15:55Which way you were gonna go.
01:15:59I'm sorry.
01:16:01There's nothing to be sorry about.
01:16:04Well, that is debatable.
01:16:06But your ability to follow through, that is well documented.
01:16:11With your books, all the birds that you've spotted since you were a kid.
01:16:15Your passion for teaching, you forged your own path.
01:16:19And I was lucky enough to experience that.
01:16:21And I'm not gonna make you swear any oaths tonight.
01:16:24But I do hope you'll consider taking the risk with your business.
01:16:29Even without the wind.
01:16:30You already have one client.
01:16:32You?
01:16:32I was thinking Fred from the trail.
01:16:35He's just waiting for a heads up.
01:16:44You're amazing.
01:16:46You know that?
01:16:50That's the feeling I got the second I met you.
01:16:52I have to go.
01:17:02I'm late to Morgan's art show.
01:17:05Oh.
01:17:08I gotta go.
01:17:10Good night.
01:17:11Yeah, I'm really nervous, but I am excited.
01:17:24I will definitely let you guys know where I land.
01:17:27Definitely going to be an adventure.
01:17:32Excuse me.
01:17:34Oh, you made it.
01:17:35Of course I made it.
01:17:37There is nowhere else I want to be.
01:17:39This is your night.
01:17:41How'd it go with the contest?
01:17:43Oh, uh, we lost.
01:17:45Oh, no, I'm sorry.
01:17:46Oh, that's too bad.
01:17:47Were you at least close?
01:17:48Actually, yes.
01:17:50But unfortunately, close doesn't help John.
01:17:52Is he coming?
01:17:53No.
01:17:54Why would he?
01:17:55Why wouldn't he?
01:17:56Isn't he your boyfriend?
01:17:58What?
01:18:00No.
01:18:01You sure?
01:18:02Because I haven't seen you geek out about anyone or anything this hard since ever.
01:18:08You bought all that birding gear.
01:18:10It's a fair statement.
01:18:11Okay, where is your artwork?
01:18:13Am I the only one who hasn't seen it yet?
01:18:15In the next room.
01:18:17You're going to love it.
01:18:17Mm-hmm.
01:18:18Who is the thing with feathers?
01:18:46That perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all.
01:18:58Dickinson, you inspired me.
01:19:07Really?
01:19:07I did?
01:19:08Really?
01:19:08I did?
01:19:09We've been through a lot of hard change in this past year, but you didn't let it beat you.
01:19:15You got back.
01:19:16You got back out into the world, found a new path, and I've seen you come alive again.
01:19:23Mom, you're amazing.
01:19:32Now I'm crying.
01:19:33That's fine.
01:19:34That'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 I'm not anymore.
01:19:42I want to find my own path, just like you.
01:19:46You gave me my wings to fly, and I promise I will always come back.
01:19:58You know that, right?
01:19:59I do, and I want you to find the path that's right for you, not anything that's forced.
01:20:14I know.
01:20:15Oh, look at that.
01:20:20You said that.
01:20:21What?
01:20:22Your friend is here.
01:20:36Oh, look, Morgan.
01:20:38More art.
01:20:47What are you doing here?
01:20:50I 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.
01:21:11Same.
01:21:15Look, I know this wasn't supposed to be anything.
01:21:21And as cheesy as it may sound, just like the red-winged blackbird.
01:21:25In my backyard?
01:21:30I don't want to lose sight of you.
01:21:32The bird analogy really works here.
01:21:37I thought about it the whole way over.
01:21:40I 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?
01:21:49Apparently so.
01:21:51And I didn't even realize it until we were at even Nathan's, and then suddenly I didn't
01:21:58want to pretend anymore.
01:21:59I stopped pretending a long time ago.
01:22:02Well, you should probably kiss me then.
01:22:06Well...
01:22:09that's it.
01:22:10Whatever, however.
01:22:12Okay.
01:22:13Bit of pain.
01:22:14Now...
