00:05Your back still bothering you?
00:06I'm fine. I just tweaked it a little.
00:09My grandpa throws his back out every time he prunes his gardenias.
00:13He swears by ice and arnica.
00:15My grandpa has sciatica. He uses this magnesium cream.
00:19Or is that for his gout?
00:21You don't have gout, do you?
00:24No, I do not have gout.
00:26And before you ask, I also do not have osteoporosis, urinary incontinence, or ED.
00:34Why would we think you had an eating disorder?
00:37A different ED.
00:39Different how?
00:40Okay, that's my cue to go pick up my kid.
00:43Hey, guys.
00:45Hey, before you leave, I need to talk to you guys about something.
00:48Sizzle and spark.
00:50I'm getting any more words.
00:52It's a theme for this year's LAFD Bachelor Auction.
00:56Okay, that's words.
00:58Yeah, go ahead and leave.
00:59I'll just forge your names for the sign-up sheet.
01:03That's the spirit.
01:04A bachelor auction.
01:05Isn't that a little outdated?
01:08It's 2026.
01:09Outdated is making a comeback.
01:11So this is for charity?
01:12Yeah.
01:13Every house is doing it.
01:15It's going to be fun.
01:16Who has fun being auctioned off like a slab of beef?
01:30So someone spent $8,000 to go on a date with you?
01:35$8,001.
01:37Adjusted for inflation, it's really not that big of a deal.
01:40Why $8,001?
01:43Extra dollar is a strategy that people use in a bidding war.
01:49There was a bidding war.
01:51$8,000?
01:52Okay, didn't you say you needed to go pick up Christopher?
01:55Yeah.
01:56And trust me, he's going to have a lot of questions about this story, too.
01:59All right.
02:01Everybody sign up.
02:18Wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:20Help!
02:21Help!
02:25Eddie, what's up?
02:26Who is Chris?
02:27He didn't get out of the bus.
02:28No, he never got on.
02:31You didn't see him at school?
02:32Sorry, I figured you'd pick him up.
02:42Did you call the school?
02:43Yeah.
02:44Talked to one of the teachers, and she says he got into another car.
02:48Did you try to find my friend on his phone?
02:50Yeah, it says he's at the house, but he sometimes leaves it there, and he's not answering the calls.
02:55Okay, what kind of car?
02:56A light-colored sedan, older, which describes half the damn cars in the city.
03:00I called the police.
03:02What did they say?
03:03They told me to go home.
03:04In case he's there, I'm headed there right now.
03:07Uh, okay, just stay there.
03:09I'm gonna come over.
03:11Wait, the car.
03:13It's in my driveway.
03:14I'll call you back.
03:15What?
03:20Hi.
03:21Abigail.
03:25Chris, what's going on?
03:27I'm kicking Abigail's butt.
03:29Not for long.
03:30I just got a booster.
03:31Turn it off.
03:35You didn't want to answer your phone?
03:37I guess it was on silent.
03:39It's not his fault.
03:41We got distracted.
03:43What are you doing here, Abigail?
03:45She picked me up from school.
03:47Chris, you got homework?
03:48Yeah.
03:49Do it.
03:51I need to talk to you right now.
03:54I'm sorry.
03:55I just wanted to help.
03:56You're a busy man, and you've been so nice to me.
03:58You mentioned you were sad.
03:59You didn't have time to pick Chris up from school.
04:01So, I just wanted to help.
04:02That is not help.
04:04Okay, not knowing who my son is.
04:06That is terrifying.
04:08I didn't mean to scare you.
04:09We were just having so much fun.
04:11We'll call next time.
04:12There's no next time.
04:14What do you mean?
04:14I mean what you're doing is not okay.
04:17Showing up here, or going to Chris's school,
04:20it has to stop.
04:22I thought you liked me.
04:25You guys are like family.
04:27Family?
04:28No.
04:29Chris and I are family.
04:31You are not family.
04:32Okay?
04:33I just helped you because you're my job,
04:34and that's all you'll ever be.
04:35My job.
04:36Do you get that?
04:39I just...
04:41I'm gonna go.
04:41Wait, come on.
04:42Abigail, I didn't mean that.
04:44Yeah, you did.
04:47I did.
04:50I did.
05:02Give it to us, Doc.
05:06What would you like?
05:07The good news, or the great news?
05:15What is it?
05:16My CK levels are down to 350.
05:18It's still slightly above range, but it's stable.
05:21That's great, right?
05:24That's very good.
05:25It means that whatever she's doing, it's working.
05:29Well, it's nothing fancy.
05:31It's just a high-protein diet, UV protection.
05:34A lot of stress management.
05:36Well, you just keep being you.
05:38I plan to.
05:41You know who's gonna be excited about this, baby?
05:46My mother?
05:47Your captain.
05:53Hey, I would be mad, too.
05:55I am mad.
05:56She took Chris.
05:58I'm more mad at myself.
05:59The kid had nobody else.
06:02And I made her feel worthless.
06:06Oh, easy.
06:08Don't break the probie.
06:10Sorry.
06:11And here we are.
06:12Our bachelors of the 118 ready to sizzle and spark.
06:17What is she doing here?
06:18She's gonna be our civilian liaison for the auction.
06:21She has volunteered to whip you all into lean, mean, catwalking machines.
06:26No.
06:27Yeah, apparently your sister here is an expert at this stuff.
06:30She handled the sorority's frat auctions all four years, and we're lucky to have her.
06:33No offense.
06:35I think this is a little different from hawking date nights with drunk frat bros.
06:40I definitely have my word cut out for me here.
06:42Hey, uh, please, can I just write a check to the windows and orphans?
06:46Not unless that check has a comma in it.
06:48Okay, let's go.
06:49Line up.
06:50Let's get to work.
06:51Line up.
06:52Let's start with some power poses.
06:54Right here, facing the mirror.
07:00Hey, Buck.
07:01Word?
07:02I noticed that your name is missing from the, uh, sign-in form.
07:07Yeah, I didn't sign up.
07:09Why not?
07:10You love being objectified.
07:12I'm injured.
07:14Yeah, right, like when your shoulder was dislocated, but you sledgehammered through a wall.
07:18That's not the same thing lives were at stake.
07:20You went bowling after.
07:22Why do you care so much?
07:25I just don't understand why you don't care.
07:28I mean, this whole auction, it's not just your lane.
07:30This is your whole road.
07:32Maybe I'm just not that guy anymore.
07:45Cheers to another Stitch and Bitch.
07:51And thanks to Carol for hosting a game.
07:54Oh, I look forward to this all week.
07:56Okay, so who are we waiting on now?
07:59Blanche.
08:00I'm going to kill her to be on time.
08:02Should someone give her a call?
08:04I mean, Lord knows she could have taken a fall.
08:06Oh, bless your heart, Faye.
08:08You're still new.
08:09Blanche is healthy as a horse.
08:11I just saw her last night cheating at Canasta.
08:15I saw her at Pickleball this morning in that short skirt of hers.
08:21Now, I know this is called Stitch and Bitch.
08:23Well, maybe we should go easy on Blanche.
08:26Didn't she lose her husband?
08:28I already died five years ago.
08:30Oh.
08:31I lost my Tim last winter, and you don't see me acting like that.
08:35That's right.
08:35We're all widows.
08:36Who cares?
08:37Yes.
08:39Speak of the devil.
08:40Blanche.
08:41Blanche, I'm pulling up right now.
08:509-1-1, what's your emergency?
08:52Blanche, crash our knitting circle.
09:02Someone's losing their license.
09:04Grab a backboard.
09:05All right, Robbie Jaws, Harry the K-12.
09:07Okay, Cap, what should I grab?
09:09Aren't you hurt?
09:10Well, yeah, but I...
09:11You know what?
09:11I can't risk it.
09:12In fact, let the probe be carrying your halogen.
09:17Get me out of here!
09:20Can someone tell me what happened here?
09:23Yeah.
09:24Ha.
09:24Blanche happened.
09:25She came barely in here.
09:27Smashed Carol's settee.
09:29Now she claims that she's gone blind.
09:32I'm trying to tell you, I can't see.
09:35It's my left eye.
09:37I got you, ma'am.
09:42Blanche, hi, I'm Eddie.
09:44This is Robbie.
09:45Want to get you out of here.
09:46Have you had anything to drink?
09:48No.
09:49But I could use a glass of red
09:51if anyone would like to give a gal a hand.
09:55Oh, go to hell.
10:00Blanche, do you wear contacts by any chance?
10:02Yes.
10:04Well, I see what's wrong.
10:06Your left lens is out of place.
10:09Oh.
10:10Oh.
10:13Well, look at the two of you.
10:19Hold still, ma'am.
10:23All right, we're gonna get you out here, Blanche.
10:25On three.
10:26Harry.
10:27Oh, not you, Buck.
10:31One, two, three.
10:34There we go.
10:36Okay.
10:37Call me Blanche.
10:41Car's all set.
10:42All right, let's get this car out of here.
10:52Oh, no.
10:55Ow.
10:56Ow.
10:56Ow.
10:56Ma'am, are you okay?
10:59I'm having palpitations.
11:04Okay, Buck, your time to shine.
11:08Yeah, sure.
11:11Okay.
11:12Just check right here.
11:16Yep.
11:17Uh, pulse is normal.
11:19You might want to check at the neck.
11:24Check the neck.
11:27Checking the neck.
11:32Yep.
11:33Still feels normal.
11:34You know, why don't you ride with us to the hospital just to be safe?
11:38You cannot be too safe.
11:40Okay.
11:41Ha-ha.
11:43Okay.
11:44Okay.
11:45Bye now.
11:46Bye now.
11:47Okay.
11:48Yeah.
11:48Okay.
11:49Does anyone else need me?
11:53Chest pains.
11:55Short of breath.
11:57Oh, oh, I think I bruised a rib.
12:01Pretty sure you're still that guy.
12:10Okay.
12:11You got this.
12:13On three.
12:14One.
12:15Two.
12:17Three.
12:23Nope.
12:25Not happening.
12:26Ah.
12:30All right, so what's my move?
12:31I wanted to help her, not re-traumatize her.
12:34You didn't do anything wrong.
12:36She picked up your son without your permission.
12:39To be nice.
12:40And then I tore her to shreds.
12:43Can you give me the address to the group home?
12:46She's not there anymore.
12:47The staff said she tore apart her room and ran off.
12:51I sent her back to the streets.
12:53Perfect.
12:54Any idea where I can start looking?
12:57You have a good heart, Diaz.
12:59It's not your fault.
13:00Abigail was troubled before you met her.
13:02Because her parents were monsters, who should be in prison right now.
13:07They tortured her.
13:09If I had just done a better job testifying.
13:12You did more than your job.
13:15And sometimes when people aren't used to it, kindness can feel like interest.
13:23Oh, come on.
13:24She's just a kid.
13:26I saw how she looked at you at the firehouse.
13:30And how she looked at me.
13:32You?
13:33Yeah, the other female in the room.
13:36The one who was taking her away from you.
13:39You think Abigail's jealous?
13:41I think she's a mixed up kid with some boundary issues.
13:48Addie.
13:50How did she know where you lived?
13:53Chris must have told her when she picked him up.
13:57Before that.
13:58The first time she showed up on your doorstep.
14:01You think she's been following me.
14:04It's possible.
14:06But I think if you go looking for her now, it'll only encourage her.
14:16So what?
14:17I, uh, I just give up on her?
14:23The hardest part of my job.
14:25You can't save everyone in crisis.
14:44Our next bachelor is Ravi Penikar.
14:48Ravi bench messes 250.
14:50He squats 330.
14:51And he runs a five-minute mile.
14:54Don't lie.
14:56Ravi, is any of that true?
14:59Two truths and a lie.
15:01They can smell a fake.
15:02Well, maybe the spectator should stay out of it.
15:05No, the peanut gallery is right.
15:06You gotta be real, Ravi.
15:07What if they don't want the real me?
15:09Look, you just have to get the first bid.
15:11And then they catch auction fever, and they'll max out their credit cards.
15:15Hey, Buck, why don't you get over here and show them how it's done?
15:17Yeah.
15:18What were your moves, Ravi?
15:21Well, I did a backflip.
15:24Everyone called it a buckflip.
15:26He called it that many times for weeks.
15:29I can't do a backflip.
15:30You don't need to do a backflip.
15:32If you get in trouble, just take off your shirt.
15:36It's funny how generous you are with your advice that you won't contribute to our charity drive.
15:42Yeah, I can't.
15:44Right, because if you're back, you don't believe me.
15:48No, I believe you.
15:49I just think it's an excuse.
15:51And the only thing I want to know is why.
15:55Why what?
15:58Hey!
15:59Oh, my gosh!
16:00Look at you!
16:01Hey, walking on your own.
16:03I drove here by myself, too.
16:05You look amazing.
16:06Thanks.
16:08You here checking up on your baby brother?
16:10I'm helping organize Sizzle and Spark.
16:13Oh, the buckflip is making a comeback.
16:16I might have some singles in my wallet.
16:18Buck is declining to strip and to flip.
16:21Then I don't know why I'm here.
16:24Oh, right.
16:25I was hoping to have a moment with my captain.
16:29Right this way.
16:32Rhythm is not their strong suit.
16:36So what brings you in?
16:40I had a, uh, a checkup yesterday.
16:45Bad news from the doc?
16:47He said everything looks good.
16:49Really good.
16:50Good?
16:51When does he say you can come back to work?
16:53He's comfortable with...
16:55now.
16:57Done!
16:57Hen!
17:00That's incredible.
17:01Let's tell the other guys.
17:02Oh, let's hold on.
17:04Right.
17:04Let's wait till Eddie gets here.
17:05We can announce it over dinner.
17:06Well, the doctor is comfortable.
17:10I'm not so sure I am.
17:13What are you talking about?
17:14You just got a clean bill of health.
17:15And I like to keep it that way.
17:18What if I come back and I end up back in a wheelchair?
17:23You're kidding.
17:27You have a regimen now.
17:28Exercise, diet.
17:30And managing my stress.
17:32How am I supposed to do that when stress is my job?
17:35When we're running into a burning building, what do I do?
17:37Stop and meditate?
17:39We can work around that.
17:40But how?
17:43Is the world spinning backwards right now?
17:45Buck doesn't want to be a slab of meat.
17:47You don't want to be a paramedic?
17:49It's been trench warfare trying to get back to who I am, Jim.
17:54For Karen, for the kids.
17:56But if I flare up, I could lose myself all over again.
18:02Maybe for good.
18:07Well, I don't want to lose you either.
18:11I guess that means I need you to stay healthy, whatever that takes.
18:17I think this is what it takes.
18:21Now, you know what's best for you?
18:25You've got to ask yourself, who is Henrietta Wilson, if not a paramedic?
18:31The hell if I know?
18:43This part's going to blow your mind.
18:49He's been dead the whole movie.
18:53What?
18:55How do you know that?
18:57The internet?
19:01I hate the internet.
19:06I hate that even more.
19:08I think it's your car alarm, Dad.
19:24Stay inside.
20:03Stay away from her.
20:05Now, what do we think that means?
20:08My best guess, her.
20:11Oh, so you two, or?
20:14No, I asked Alex to help place Abigail
20:19when I found out she was living out of her car.
20:21I think she was hoping that I would place her with him.
20:26Alex thinks that maybe Abigail's been following me.
20:29That's how she knew where I lived.
20:32Then the other day after I snapped at her,
20:36Alex and I had coffee.
20:38And you're a stalker, didn't like what she saw.
20:40Not stalker.
20:41What would you call it?
20:44Not stalker.
20:46Annie, when I find this girl,
20:48are you going to have it in you to press charges?
20:50Charges? No, I don't want her arresting.
20:52Then why are you bringing it to me?
20:56Because I know if I asked you,
20:58you wouldn't arrest her.
20:59Are we not looking at the same crime scene photos
21:02because I see real anger here?
21:05You were there when we pulled her out of that church, Athena.
21:08She has every right to be angry.
21:10But she doesn't have a right to take it out on you.
21:14I know that.
21:16But I feel responsible.
21:18You're not.
21:19I stepped out of my lane with her.
21:21I shouldn't have.
21:23You were just trying to help.
21:24And it ended up going the opposite.
21:27Look, I know it's best if I don't reach out to her.
21:29And she's not going to listen to Alex.
21:32I was hoping...
21:34Maybe you talk to her.
21:36See if she's okay.
21:39And maybe...
21:40Get her to back off.
21:44All right.
21:45I'll see what I can do.
21:47But...
21:48I make no promises.
22:01Liar!
22:03What are you doing back here?
22:05You weren't answering.
22:06And you're not hurt.
22:07You're hiding out.
22:09Chimney sent you.
22:10He's worried about you.
22:12So am I.
22:14You loved that auction.
22:15Do you remember when you made it your Christmas card?
22:17You were very proud of yourself.
22:22Bachelor auction is a young man's game.
22:25Is that what this is about?
22:26I mean...
22:26Who are you threatened by?
22:28Ravi?
22:28Harry?
22:29No, I'm not competing with them.
22:32I was in my 20s last time.
22:35I did a backflip.
22:38Look, it's...
22:39It's not just that.
22:42I don't feel young anymore.
22:46I party less.
22:48I sleep more.
22:50I bake.
22:51Congratulations.
22:52Sounds like you're in your mid-30s.
22:54Okay, do you know how old that is in firefighter years?
22:58Average age of retirement is 55.
23:00That means I'm already past middle-aged.
23:03I've had two kids.
23:04When I look in the mirror,
23:06I don't recognize the person that I was a decade ago.
23:08No, hey.
23:09You look great.
23:10Oh, believe me.
23:11I know.
23:12So do you, by the way.
23:13But that's not what I meant.
23:14Back then, I was...
23:17lost.
23:18Now I have this amazing family.
23:20And a job that I love.
23:22And I am a stronger, better person.
23:24Do you think that I would trade any of that
23:26to be nine years younger?
23:31No.
23:33Okay.
23:33So, let's just say that you sell for 50% less.
23:39Would you want to be the guy that you were
23:41when you were a probie?
23:44I like the new buck.
23:47I'm just not sure the rest of the world
23:49is going to feel that way.
23:51Screw the rest of the world.
23:53Get out there and shake your ass, old man.
23:56Okay?
23:56For the orphans.
24:00Yeah.
24:02Yeah.
24:04Yeah, okay.
24:05Okay.
24:27Well, that was easier than I thought.
24:31Do you have a chat?
24:40So you've got a job now, and a place to stay.
24:45Okay.
24:48They let me have the room with the broken AC if I wash sheets and towels.
24:59Gotta say, it seems like a step down from your group home.
25:08How did you find me?
25:10Plate readers, tracked your car to this location.
25:16Is that even legal?
25:18It is, if someone suspected of a crime.
25:23Eddie's saying, huh?
25:25He asked me to have a talk with you.
25:29I really screwed up.
25:30You've been through hell, and Eddie saved you from it.
25:35So clearly you feel some attachment to it.
25:38Now it's fine to feel protected, but when those feelings take over, they can make us
25:44do ugly things, like slash tires.
25:48That's a misdemeanor, Abigail.
25:50You're 18 now.
25:52That goes on your record.
25:56I understand.
25:57Eddie doesn't want to press charges.
25:59Not this time.
26:00But another incident might test his mercy.
26:05It won't happen again.
26:06So you'll stay away from him?
26:08I promise.
26:09And Christopher, and Alex, too.
26:11Yes.
26:12It'll never happen again.
26:13You have my word.
26:16I never meant to cause him any trouble.
26:19Please.
26:21Tell him that.
26:23I'll pass it along.
26:30So when is this thing?
26:32Saturday.
26:33Why are we going to a bachelor auction when we're not interested in purchasing any bachelors?
26:38It's for charity.
26:40And potential future blackmail material.
26:44Do you still have a future at the 118?
26:47I mean, I want to go back.
26:49But what if it starts again?
26:52I'm not sure I can handle the stress.
26:55I don't believe there's anything you can't handle.
26:57I wish I could be sure of that.
27:00No one can be sure of anything.
27:02Don't you know that by now?
27:14No one can't handle this.
27:15Gary.
27:16Are you okay?
27:17I think so.
27:19Can you wiggle your toes?
27:22Yeah.
27:23I hear that you pain in your head.
27:24I'm fine.
27:25Are you?
27:27Yeah, I just…
27:29Oh, ow.
27:32Oh, my god.
27:37Call 9-1-1!
27:40Oh, yeah.
27:40Okay.
27:46There's been an accident.
27:47There's two other cars.
27:48I'm not sure how many are injured.
27:51Guys, hold on.
27:52I got a three-car MVC on Spigaroa and 2nd.
27:55Looks like two drivers are injured, one working fire.
27:58Send me two ambos and an engine!
28:00Ma'am! Ma'am! Are you okay?
28:02Yeah, I think I can crawl out.
28:06Okay, careful!
28:06Careful! Watch the glass!
28:09Can anyone use a fire extinguisher?
28:11I can!
28:12Here, in the base where the fire hits the entrance.
28:16Okay, here, come on.
28:17Okay, easy.
28:22Hey, you! You!
28:24Help me with this extraction!
28:26Everyone else!
28:27Get back in your cars!
28:29Get back in your cars!
28:30Turn your hazards on!
28:31Leave me a clear path for emergency vehicles!
28:34Get back!
28:38Sir!
28:38Sir, can you hear me?
28:41Anything?
28:42He must have gone into cardiac arrest when he ran the red light.
28:44How do you know?
28:46Distracted drivers.
28:47They always hit the brake, even in the last second.
28:52Here.
28:56Help.
29:02Check on the other driver. She may have a head injury.
29:05Ma'am.
29:06All right.
29:08Come.
29:09Come.
29:10No.
29:10No, it's okay.
29:12Hey!
29:13Hey!
29:14Do you need any help?
29:15I'm CPR certified.
29:17I'm CPR certified.
29:18No.
29:18No, it's okay.
29:21I'm a paramedic.
29:33Hello.
29:35Eddie.
29:37Abigail.
29:38How'd you get this phone number?
29:41It wasn't hard.
29:44Sergeant Grant told me she talked to you.
29:47She did.
29:48And I know I promised to stop bothering you.
29:51And I am.
29:51I swear.
29:52I'm not about being bothered.
29:54There's just something I needed to say to you.
29:57And this is the last chance I'll get to say it.
30:01And I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you.
30:05Tell Christopher I said he has the best dad.
30:08The best.
30:10Abigail, what's going on?
30:12Nothing.
30:12I just wanted you to hear that.
30:13What did you mean this is the last chance you'll get to say that?
30:17Please, forgive me.
30:19Abigail.
30:24Hello?
30:25Athena?
30:25You said Abigail's at the Twin Vista Motel, right?
30:28Why?
30:29She called me.
30:30Something's not right.
30:31For instance, her calling you.
30:33Athena, I think she's about to do something stupid.
30:36I'm headed there right now.
30:37Not a good idea.
30:38Just pull over and I'll be right there.
30:41Eddie.
30:59Eddie, what are you doing here?
31:00Tell me.
31:01Tell me what's going on.
31:02You should go.
31:03Abigail, whatever you're about to do.
31:05Eddie, you need to leave.
31:06Until I know you're safe.
31:08Look, you're not going to get in trouble.
31:09We'll get you whatever kind of help you need.
31:11You can't help me anymore.
31:16Daddy, don't.
31:17I told you, stay right there!
31:25You have the gall to take up with my daughter.
31:28You're a grown man!
31:30That's not what happened.
31:31I saw her at your house!
31:33Daddy, you're telling the truth!
31:34I'll do it!
31:45L.A.P.B!
31:46Drop the knife!
31:54Are you okay?
31:55Yeah.
31:56Yeah.
31:58Are you okay?
31:59Yeah.
32:00On your feet.
32:04You remember these, don't you?
32:24Maybe next time I tell you to pull over and let P.D. handle it, you'll listen.
32:32I assume the worst about her.
32:35No.
32:36You saw her for what she was.
32:39A girl who needed help.
32:41Yeah, Abigail's father had been stalking her since the judge released him.
32:46She had a restraining order, but Daddy thought he was her guardian angel.
32:50More like the angel of death.
32:52And get this.
32:53The group home-called, they found security footage of him tossing her room.
32:58Which is why she ran away.
32:59You know, take Abigail home whether she liked it or not.
33:03Poor girl.
33:04She managed to hide out at the hotel for a bit.
33:06But when she heard that he was harassing you, she gave him her location so he'd stop.
33:12So she sacrificed herself to protect me.
33:17Just like you protected her.
33:19She's lucky that you can't mind your own damn business.
33:28Eddie.
33:29Uh, didn't you know I was here?
33:32Uh, Athena told Harry, Harry told me.
33:35Hi, Athena.
33:35Yeah.
33:36Let me see.
33:39Ooh.
33:41Yeah, that's gonna be a shiner, but...
33:44We can sell that as sexy.
33:48Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Sizzle 2026!
33:58Here's your paddle.
33:59There's an open bar.
34:01Preserve seats.
34:02Harry goes on his head.
34:03It's looking good.
34:04Who's ready for an auction?
34:05All right.
34:06Well, without further ado, grab those paddles and grab those seats because we're gonna bring
34:11out some of our bachelors right now.
34:15You get off your phone.
34:16The auction is about to start.
34:17That's why I'm texting.
34:18What do you mean?
34:19Sending some kind of bomb threat so the auction gets cancelled?
34:23You think they'll work?
34:24Yeah.

34:29$1,800!

35:04All right, who's got $500?
35:05Ma'am.

35:07Mom, it's for charity.
35:08Yeah, I'm trying to have some, but she's old enough to be his grandmother.
35:12Who's got $600?

35:34Oh, yeah, I'm happy.

35:42That's right.

36:27Sold to our mystery bidder.
36:30Mmm.
36:32You know, there's a time where I would have been up there.
36:34I was in the LAFD calendar.
36:36Mr. April, 2018.
36:38We have a few boxes of those still in our attic if anyone's interested.
36:43Who are you on the phone with?
36:44I-I was bidding on Eddie.
36:48Wait, you were the mystery woman on the phone?
36:50What the hell?
36:51Please welcome...
36:52Robbie Panikar!
36:56All right!
36:58I'll bet more you $25,000.
37:00Uh, plus my fee.
37:01You bought yourself at auction.
37:03Weren't every penny.
37:05He's a national connector, a lover of the finer things.
37:08A man of discerning taste who will elevate your dating life
37:14for a mere bid of $300.
37:17Robbie only!
37:18Yeah!
37:18She's going to bid $300.
37:20Who's got a bid on Robbie for $300?
37:27$300!
37:29$300 right here!
37:31$300!
37:31Just to get the ball removed.
37:33$400 in the back to our $500.
37:36All right, $500!
37:38Going once.
37:39$700!
37:40$700!
37:40$700!
37:41I think that ball's rolling.
37:43How about $800?
37:44Let's jump to 200 increments.
37:45I've got $800.
37:46Come on, folks!
37:47$1,000!
37:49Who's got $1,200?
37:50$1,200 right here!
37:51Who's got $1,400?
37:52$1,400!
37:54All right, who's got $1,600?
37:58$1,600!
38:06$1,600!
38:11Okay, folks.
38:13It's time.
38:15All right, folks.
38:17How many bucks is one buck worth?
38:19Yeah!
38:20He has a multimedia presentation.
38:21Nobody told me we could have a multimedia presentation.
38:24Please put your hands together for Evan Buck Buckley!
38:27Yeah!
38:29Come on, Buck!
38:39Come on!
38:42Come on!
38:43Get this thing outta here!
38:47Oh, is he gonna do a buck flip?
38:48At least we ain't a room full of medics.
38:53Now, ladies and gentlemen, Buck wanted me to let everyone know that he has changed his
39:00wild ways, and he's ready to settle down with that special someone.
39:04Could be you.
39:06Let's find out.
39:08That's right, folks.
39:10He's learned to cook.
39:11He is an avid baker.
39:14But that's not all.
39:16Most importantly, he's an uncle to his niece and nephew.
39:22Shameless.
39:25Now, do I have any bitters?
39:28I thought that might be the case.
39:31So here's what we're gonna do.
39:32Well played.
39:33My mother used to say, no one river is the same river twice.
39:39That's true for people, too.
39:42Like it or not, we change.
39:44You two get looked at yet?
39:45No, but I'm okay.
39:47How about you, Wilson?
39:48You okay?
39:53I'm good.
39:54The people we used to be, they're gone.
39:58Somewhere downstream.
40:00We change in ways we never saw coming.
40:04I have 7,500 from the woman in gold right here.
40:08Come on!
40:09Can we do it, folks?
40:10Can we break the record of $8,001?
40:14Come on.
40:15Come on.
40:168,002!
40:18Yes!
40:21If you'll take five individual checks.
40:25Of course we'll take five individual checks.
40:29Bingo, bitch.
40:32Passing friendships stop to catch our gaze and suddenly, who knew?
40:38Children, once so small, become adults too large.
40:43And parents, once giants, see us eye to eye.
40:468,002!
40:48Going once!
40:49Going twice!
40:51Solve for $8,002!
40:54A new record!
40:57We're made wiser by age and younger by the company of youth.
41:01Okay, so it's knit, knit, purl, purl.
41:05Hey, isn't he a natural?
41:07Aw, come on.
41:08And even if we want to stay hooked, that river keeps us moving to new challenges, new adventures,
41:16new versions of us.
41:19I hope we all pulled out of a hat.
41:22Gas money.
41:24Road snacks.
41:26An old-fashioned map with a red line from here to me.
41:31Thank you, Eddie.
41:43If you get tired, pull over.
41:45Don't be a hero.
41:47That's your job.
41:52Who we are today isn't who we were yesterday or who we have to be tomorrow.
41:58And so I choose to learn, to grow, to stay strong and push through.
42:09To love and dream and hope and live.
42:14So that every day I get to meet the best version of me yet.
42:22Cheers, of course.
42:23I'll see you next time.
42:26Everything's not made up.
42:27Oh.
42:42It's a lot.
42:46You know their answer to me, huh.
42:50No doubt.
42:50You can't hit it.
42:51Beautoughs.
42:51What do we want?
42:51You want to see those comedy actors we start using tonight?
