00:01I broke up with Kaelin because I felt like he was moving too fast and I was too young.
00:07I never would have saw this coming.
00:09Honestly, I just, I didn't even know what to think.
00:12He wants to meet up sometime and talk.
00:16You didn't message immediately back, did you?
00:18No.
00:19Okay.
00:19No.
00:20Yeah, make him wait it out.
00:21Do you guys want to sing some music with me?
00:24Yeah.
00:25I think that I did need to come back and see what it's like living here again.
00:30Just so I would know if I really wanted that or not.
00:34But with Tegan, I definitely miss a lot of things, you know.
00:39And when we first begun.
00:45She truly was my best friend that I'd ever had.
00:49It's hard to move on.
00:52So, Dad, I have not heard this directly from you.
00:54Directly from me.
00:55But I have heard it around, you're open to date.
00:59That was the topic of conversation here before you walked in.
01:03I'm just introducing them to the topic of me dating someone.
01:09You know, it's a new age.
01:12Another woman can have them.
01:14I'm okay with that.
01:41Hey, Ken.
01:42Hey, Bear.
01:42So, today I'm delivering some oats out to the farm for the horses and the cows.
01:49Is that going good?
01:50Yeah, I got some oats for the animals.
01:52This is part of my arrangement with Kim.
01:55And Kim saw me drive up.
01:57So, he just wants to check in and say hi.
02:00Um, is there a place where we can have a bag out of the weather?
02:06Um, the girls have been taking care of all the animal stuff.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Okay.
02:12Yeah.
02:13It's just...
02:13Yeah.
02:14Yeah.
02:15Okay.
02:15I'll put it over there so somebody can feed her later.
02:18Yeah.
02:19And, uh...
02:20Okay.
02:23So, just...
02:24Just right over on the cement?
02:26Yeah.
02:28Um, do you want me to...
02:29I got it.
02:29I got it.
02:30So, what's been going on over here?
02:32Uh, working with Ethan mainly on the barn.
02:35Even though it might seem weird in a number of ways,
02:40I'm trying to be casual and nonchalant.
02:44So, you're settling in okay?
02:46I'm sorry?
02:46Are you settling in here okay?
02:48Uh, yeah.
02:48I still feel a little bit unsettled just because I don't have all my stuff up here.
02:52Yeah.
02:52For the most part, yes.
02:54Yeah.
02:54Good to hear.
02:55Yeah.
02:55Yeah.
02:57Yeah.
02:58I really, uh, was surprised when Barry was concerned about how I'm settling in.
03:04We don't have a whole lot in common as far as our likes, but we do get along.
03:08I've really enjoyed getting to know Ethan.
03:11You know, with Ethan living up north and really never...
03:14You never.
03:14...got to hang out with him or really even talk to him.
03:19Yeah.
03:21Yeah, because, you know, you know, with, with, uh, the ending of, you know, Tegan and him.
03:29Right.
03:29Right.
03:30That was rough.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Just, you know.
03:34So, I gotta ask, relationship?
03:36Are you dating anybody?
03:38Personally, right now, no.
03:40No, I'm not.
03:41I'm not there yet, but, uh, maybe soon.
03:45Um, Ken's question about dating, it's just, well, it's an interesting question.
03:50It's not like I really want to get into any conversation with Ken about my dating life.
03:56You know?
03:57It's been a very long time.
03:59Yeah.
04:00Since I've even done anything like that.
04:02You gotta use, gotta use into it.
04:04Yeah.
04:06Although, it'd be funny if I, I asked him.
04:08So, how's it going with Ken?
04:12Let me give you a few pointers.
04:14Watch out for X, Y, and Z, you know?
04:18So, in the day, like, when we originally moved out here, Kim was really big into juicing.
04:25Like, she was, that was her thing.
04:27She juiced, like, no one I had ever met before.
04:32Does she juice any these days?
04:34Uh, she did a little bit of juicing with one of my juicers.
04:38But not with the, the big juicer.
04:40No.
04:41Okay.
04:42I'm pretty sure.
04:43Um, so, when, when Kim took some things from, uh, the house, she took the juicer.
04:51And I'm still on my health kick.
04:53Right, right.
04:54And it's, I would like to incorporate some, some juicing into my routine.
04:59And I'm just wondering if maybe I could borrow the juicer.
05:03Uh, yeah, you're more than welcome to help me look for it.
05:07I'm pretty sure I saw a juicer, but I'm not 100% sure where.
05:11Yeah, you can't miss this juicer.
05:12This is like the mother of all juicers.
05:16Okay.
05:17Right.
05:19Back when Kim and I were first married, Kim went big into juicing, juicing carrots, greens.
05:28Hey, that looks familiar.
05:30Is that yours?
05:31I think that's mine.
05:33Bottom line is, Kim had her phase of health kick, and juicing was a real big part of it.
05:39Okay, so it's going to be somewhere either in this room.
05:44Okay.
05:45Or it could be in here in this closet.
05:49Let's, let's maybe start with the closet.
05:52Okay.
05:53I look the house over, and it doesn't look anything like what I'm used to from the past.
05:58I don't see it.
06:01Maybe back, what is that back there?
06:02I don't see it, but it doesn't look like it.
06:09This is it.
06:12Okay.
06:13A juicer.
06:14A juicer.
06:16Yeah, so anyway, I'll take this with me, and before I go, is there like one song, the jukebox?
06:24Yeah, you want to check it out?
06:25Check it out?
06:26Absolutely.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Let's go check out the jukebox, because I'm curious about that thing.
06:30It looks really nice.
06:32There's a lot of things all over the place, and I get that, blending two households.
06:38I mean, it's got a cozy feel, but, yeah, a really cozy feel.
06:46Here it is.
06:47It's pretty cool.
06:47It's old.
06:49It's older than I am.
06:52It's, that is pretty cool.
06:54Well, pick you out a song and play it.
06:56He's never here for very long when he does come, but when Barry comes, he and I get a
07:01long, great.
07:03Oh, you got Neil Diamond in there.
07:04Oh, so A, A1, huh?
07:08Uh-oh.
07:09It's stuck.
07:10Ken's kind of stoic, so reading him, I don't spend time, like, trying to dissect and analyze
07:17what his non-verbals really mean.
07:20I don't get any bad vibes.
07:22Of course, it's going to mess up when I'm showing it to you.
07:27All right, let's see if it does it again.
07:29Try it against if it will go this time.
07:30All right, let's let it.
07:33Hmm.
07:34Mm-hmm.
07:35I'm not going to ask you to dance.
07:37Yeah.
07:51Nothing always lines up the way it's supposed to.
07:56There's my man.
07:58Russell.
07:59What's up?
08:00Nothing.
08:01Sleep good?
08:01Yeah.
08:03You ready?
08:03Yeah.
08:04Fix it.
08:05All right.
08:07We're at Russell's Military Vehicles.
08:10I work for him.
08:11Been working for him for a little while since I've been down here.
08:15He's an oil pan, so we want to raise this thing up first to get the oil pan on it?
08:18Let's do that.
08:19Okay.
08:19I help him restore older, you know, Jeeps and military equipment.
08:27Choose your weapon of choice.
08:31Ooh, picky.
08:32Yeah.
08:33Ethan showed up because he was a good friend of my son.
08:37He was driving this old Mercury.
08:38I'm like, what are you driving an old grandfather car for?
08:40He's like, that's what I do.
08:42I like work on old cars.
08:44Click.
08:44I tested him.
08:45I came in here and asked him a lot of questions.
08:48He answered every one of them.
08:49I'd hired him in a heartbeat.
08:51Look at that man right there.
08:54My guys that normally would clean that, you know what they would do?
08:57Blow it with a blow gun.
08:58Yeah, that's good enough.
08:59That's not quality.
09:01That's quality control right there.
09:03Mm-hmm.
09:05So, uh, what you got plans for the future?
09:09I was thinking I would...
09:11Open up shop and just kind of do restorations and stuff like that, sort of?
09:15That's what I'd like to do someday.
09:17Yeah, I had planned on retiring.
09:18But if I had somebody that would run this with a name on his shirt, I'd keep it going.
09:25And listen, I'm turning down work every day.
09:28Yeah, I know you are.
09:29Every day.
09:30You like doing this, right?
09:31Mm-hmm.
09:32I need a guy.
09:34Russell's military vehicles right there.
09:37Boy, it'd look good on you, too.
09:38I'll make sure they're black shirts.
09:41Oh, black shirts?
09:42Yeah.
09:43I've got black shirts with my name on it.
09:45No, I got somebody else's name right here.
09:47Oh, my God.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Next to the heart.
09:50Wow.
09:50There was a girl I dated for like a year and a half.
09:56She lives in Wisconsin.
09:58What's her name?
09:59Tegan.
10:00Tegan?
10:01What a name.
10:02Wow.
10:04Sounds good with Ethan, I think.
10:06Here we go.
10:07Okay, yeah.
10:07She still lives there?
10:08Mm-hmm.
10:10Yeah, I don't know.
10:11I haven't talked to Tegan in a while.
10:12I don't know what she's up to or how she's doing.
10:19Tegan gave me the freedom to live down here and see what I want.
10:24I had told Tegan that I would move to Wisconsin, and I did want to, but I just was like,
10:32I guess
10:33maybe I wasn't ready yet or something.
10:34I don't know.
10:37But that really did affect our relationship a lot.
10:41It was a big part of us breaking up because she just felt like I didn't really care.
10:47You know, it wasn't important for me to move to Wisconsin and be with her.
10:53So, you know, I've offered you this business.
10:55Yeah.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Put your name up there on the building.
10:59Right underneath mine.
11:00Mm-hmm.
11:01You could eventually work your way to above mine.
11:03I'll work for you.
11:05Yeah.
11:06Yeah.
11:07Being back in Georgia was nice, but it's not good without her.
11:13Tegan is home to me.
11:15Well, if I was staying here, I would definitely consider taking your business on.
11:21That's a promising answer.
11:23Mm-hmm.
11:23Yeah.
11:24But I made up my mind I can't stay here.
11:30Oh.
11:32No matter how much I actually wanted to come back to Georgia for Georgia's sake, you know,
11:40where I grew up, whatever, that doesn't mean anything when your heart is somewhere else.
12:14Let's dive into who it is you're looking for.
12:15I sat on the shelf.
12:16Barry just takes it the day before I'm ready to use it.
12:19Okay.
12:20Well, I got an issue with Barry then.
12:29I made up my mind I can't stay here.
12:33Oh.
12:33I'm moving to Wisconsin.
12:36Wisconsin.
12:39Does she know you're coming to Wisconsin?
12:42Uh-huh.
12:45After me and Tegan broke up, I kept thinking about it, and I was like, I really, I really
12:52want us to be together, you know, and I really want to be up there.
12:55If I tell her that I'm moving, I don't think she'll believe me until I'm there, so I'm just
13:00going to go.
13:02We haven't talked in a while.
13:03Really?
13:04Mm-hmm.
13:05And you're moving?
13:05Mm-hmm.
13:06Mm-hmm.
13:07You're running after her?
13:08Mm-hmm.
13:09Is that it?
13:10I kept thinking about, like, the risk of, like, okay, if I move my life, and then she
13:16says no, or she's found somebody else or something, and I did all that for nothing, and then one
13:21day I was like, that's just a risk that I'm willing to take.
13:25I can't shake it, so I decided I'm going to go up there and give it my best shot.
13:34So you got pictures of this girl?
13:35Mm-hmm.
13:36Okay.
13:37Oh, yeah.
13:38Digging that thick, old, fat wallet.
13:41Oh, yeah.
13:43She's got that enticing look going on in this picture.
13:47So look at that smile on your face.
13:49You don't smile that much here.
13:50I never see your teeth.
13:51Look at that.
13:52You got teeth.
13:53I didn't know you had bottom teeth, too.
13:54That's cool.
13:56You look like a couple.
13:57Mm-hmm.
13:59There's your lottery ticket.
14:00You lost, by the way.
14:01No, this is from a date that we went.
14:03Oh, you even kept the receipt for the date to give to her?
14:08No, just to look at it now and then.
14:10Does she feel the same way?
14:11Don't you think?
14:13I think.
14:14Do you think?
14:15Mm-hmm.
14:16And you're moving?
14:17Mm-hmm.
14:17Boy.
14:18Ethan is running after his heart.
14:22And I think Ethan's making maybe a mistake.
14:26I don't want to say it, but I think it's kind of a rebound thing.
14:30I'm hoping the best for him.
14:31I really am.
14:32I'm hoping the best for Ethan.
14:33I hope he finds her and marries her and moves back to Cairo, Georgia.
14:36Wait a minute.
14:37Don't you have family here?
14:38Yeah.
14:38Okay, so...
14:39I haven't told them yet.
14:41I still have to tell them.
14:42Oh, they don't even know.
14:43Well, I feel privileged.
14:45Yeah.
14:45I won't say a word.
14:47I haven't told my family yet because I've been thinking about it a long time just to myself,
14:53you know.
14:55And everybody's got an opinion, but it doesn't really matter.
14:59I know this is what I want and this is what I'm going to do.
15:04And I know they're all going to be sad, and I hate to do that.
15:08So I just haven't told them yet.
15:11So when you break the news to mom and pop and brothers and sisters,
15:15probably once I'm already on the road.
15:19Ethan is a family guy, but I would think they would have something to say about this,
15:23him going off, and maybe that's why he's not wanting to tell them.
15:27What do you think they're going to say?
15:29They're going to try to stop you?
15:30No, I don't think so.
15:31I think you'd try to stop me more than they would.
15:33I have more to gain than them, I think.
15:35Probably.
15:36You got a place to live?
15:38No, not yet, but I'm sure I'll find a place.
15:42Trying this, you know, it's worth it to me because I just really don't want to live without her.
15:50You got more faith than I do.
15:54I don't know if it's faith or nothing to lose.
16:12So right now, I haven't met any women in Cairo that I'm interested in dating
16:17because it's kind of daunting going out there and figuring out the whole setup
16:21and how do you navigate through it.
16:23And so here I am doing a video chat with Renee, my matchmaker,
16:28and she's going to try to find the love of my life.
16:32Hello.
16:33Hey.
16:34How are you, Mary?
16:35Doing good.
16:36I'm going to take my glasses off if you don't mind.
16:38Can you hear me?
16:39I can't seem to hear you.
16:40Um, just one moment.
16:45I have talked with Renee on a call to answer her questionnaires
16:50and take her personality profile assessments and get into my love languages.
16:55You can't hear me?
16:56I can't hear you yet.
16:57Just the feel of who is Barry, you know?
17:02What kind of quirks does he have?
17:05Can you hear me?
17:06Yes.
17:07But this is my first time seeing her, you know, face-to-face via video.
17:12That should be good.
17:14Okay.
17:14So hello, Renee.
17:15How are you today?
17:16Hi, I'm great, Barry.
17:18How are you doing?
17:19Well, we're working through our technical difficulties,
17:21but we're doing great here on this end.
17:23I appreciate you taking the time to walk through this journey side-by-side
17:28so you are not dating alone.
17:31So I know that one of the questions that we asked is,
17:34how ready on a scale of 1 to 10 are you for a committed relationship again?
17:41You did say a 5.
17:42Can you explain why you came up with a 5?
17:46Well, you know, I've just come out of a divorce process, right?
17:51And so, you know, I'm still, you know, not like at the 10 level,
17:57but I'm wanting to get to that point.
18:00But I feel personally that I'm kind of midway.
18:03Okay.
18:04I want it to be the right feel.
18:06You know, I want to have the right feel.
18:07I would hope that, you know, this woman would have the right feel,
18:11that the children would have, like, a good vibe that,
18:14okay, this is exciting.
18:15This is looking good.
18:17In your eyes, why do you believe that marriage did not last?
18:23Well, you know, it takes two to, you know, not make a marriage work.
18:30Kim and I both, I guess, had our issues in the end.
18:34From her perspective, I wasn't meeting the needs that she had.
18:40She felt like I didn't have or give her a voice in the relationship.
18:45She felt like she wasn't loved as well as she thought she should be.
18:52And it was good feedback because it helped me assess where are some of my shortcomings.
18:57Because, you know, I'm like, next time, you know, I get back into a relationship,
19:01I want to have that understanding that, okay, this might be a weak point of mine that I need to
19:06work on.
19:07You have matured.
19:08Yes, yes.
19:09So, I mean, that's good.
19:11That's like growth.
19:12I can tell you right now, I'm a work in process, right?
19:15So, I'm learning from past mistakes, and I'm moving forward with the mindset of,
19:21well, how can I better myself?
19:24Let's dive into who it is you're looking for.
19:27Yeah.
19:27I mean, right now, the would like to have that's coming to mind is a nurturer.
19:31Okay.
19:32I feel in past relationships, maybe a little deficient in that area.
19:36Would you describe her more as, like, soft and sweet?
19:41Yeah.
19:42Alpha females are not, I'm not that attracted to.
19:47I've kind of been there, done that.
19:50I'm kind of put off by overly controlling types, and I'm exceptionally put off by manipulation now.
19:57Let's talk about physicality.
19:59Do you lean more towards a particular type?
20:02Yeah.
20:02Yeah.
20:04For some reason, I just love olive tone skin.
20:07I don't know why that is.
20:08I really do.
20:08Okay.
20:09Um.
20:10So, if you had a room full of ladies lined up in front of you, and they were all interested
20:14in meeting you, what type would you be more drawn to?
20:20I guess in four words, the Sandra Bullock look.
20:26Sandra Bullock.
20:29Sandra?
20:30Yeah, I like Sandra.
20:32She was in Keanu with Keanu Reeves with speed.
20:37I mean, let's keep driving.
20:40Keep driving.
20:42What was it?
20:43Don't go slower than 50.
20:46Otherwise, you blow.
20:52And how would your family and friends welcome somebody into your life?
20:57You know, my girls are, they would, they would want to, you know, take time to get to know,
21:03you know, my potential, you know, new dates, you know, my, my girlfriend, you know, just
21:10the, the full vetting process.
21:11Okay, so maybe have them write both, like three things that they both want their father
21:18to have.
21:19I'm paving the way with the children.
21:20Dad's thinking about dating, and I just want their, I want to see what their responses are.
21:27A single guy in his 50s with nine children.
21:29I can, I can feel, I can feel like a baseball team.
21:33It was funny, when I was writing down all of your children's ages, I'm like, I don't think
21:36his life has ever been this long, right?
21:38So, that's a beautiful thing, though.
21:40It really is.
21:41You have an army of somebody's, uh, they're going to have to win all of their hearts.
21:48You've heard about everything going on.
21:51I heard that you broke up with Kayla.
21:54I have a lot of guilt from what I did.
21:57I really don't know if I will get her back.
21:59That really scares me.
22:01It's just a matter of if we can unscrew what I screwed up.
22:21It's just a matter of if we can't, but I almost got it to move.
22:32See if you can.
22:33You want me to see if I can?
22:34And then I'll find a smaller one.
22:36Yeah!
22:39All right.
22:40Okay, so I got one over here.
22:43I think I can push this one over.
22:45Try it first.
22:47No!
22:48No.
22:49We have probably 20 or 30 acres of woods, and there's always going to be dead trees.
22:58The dead trees, if they're not pushed down, at some point they're going to fall down.
23:02If I'm riding a four-wheeler through the trails, or I'm walking through the trails,
23:05I don't really want a tree falling on me.
23:08Nope.
23:10It's fun.
23:12It's satisfying when you push, you feel it give a little bit, you push a little bit more,
23:15and you just feel this big hunk of dead wood just fall hard on the ground.
23:24Oh, it's so close!
23:25I guess Mom has her hunk.
23:27I guess Mom has her hunk.
23:28Oh, it's so close!
23:29Oh, it's so close!
23:30Oh, it's so close!
23:31There we go!
23:33Okay!
23:36So, what have you been up to?
23:38Oh, a lot.
23:40You've heard about everything going on.
23:43I take it.
23:44I heard that you broke up with Kaylin.
23:47I had stopped at Barry's house to drop the girls off, and Kaylin was there, and she was
23:54crying.
23:55I just gave her a hug, I told her I loved her, I told her if she needs to talk
23:59or, you know,
24:00anything, I'm here for her, whatever she needs.
24:03So, she called me that night, and we talked for a couple hours.
24:08She was crying, but the one thing she said to me is, make sure Isaac's okay.
24:14Just concerned, you know, for your well-being, that's a good woman, you know?
24:19I know.
24:21I don't even know how to feel about that.
24:23I mean, I feel terrible, but it also makes me feel really good that she still would care
24:27about me, even after everything I did.
24:30I have a lot of guilt from what I did, so it's just a matter of if we can unscrew
24:36what
24:37I screwed up.
24:39She didn't see it coming, and I know it broke her, and she doesn't deserve that, and I hate
24:45that I put her through that.
24:46Yeah, I wish she would have, you know, yelled at me or something.
24:52She is so, like, genuinely kind and just a really good person.
24:57And, I mean, I feel like that's really good for Isaac.
25:01That's the kind of girl that I want for any of my sons.
25:06So why did you break up with Caitlin?
25:09Well, I mean, there was things personally on my end that I was thinking that I was in
25:15my head about.
25:15I know that she is older than me by two, two and a half years or so, and so I
25:21know that
25:21she wants to get married a little sooner than I was thinking.
25:24Was Caitlin putting pressure on you to, like, get married or anything like that, or?
25:28No, I mean, she wasn't really.
25:30All the pressure I was getting was basically in my head.
25:33But then I just didn't think about the thought of maybe she is the one, maybe, maybe this is
25:40where I'm supposed to be, you know?
25:41I let everything else kind of drown that out.
25:43Yeah.
25:44I don't know.
25:45There's a lot of things I need to think about.
25:49A lot of my older kids, they've had kind of bad relationships.
25:55Looking back, the thing that I would change with how we raise the kids is I have a hard
26:02time promoting sex before marriage.
26:06I do feel like there's a lot of benefit to waiting.
26:10But now I think it's better to have sex before marriage and really get to know who you're
26:17marrying than to just rush in and get married so that you can have sex.
26:24Isaac and Caitlin have spent a long time getting to know each other.
26:28But the bottom line is they still have to figure out some of those things for themselves.
26:32And it's hard.
26:34They have to figure out, you know, to get to know somebody and not move too fast.
26:41So what did everybody else say that you told?
26:44Basically, the whole family said the same thing, that they disagree with me.
26:49I'm thinking it was a bad decision now, you know?
26:51Yeah.
26:53If me and Caitlin can work things out from here, which is a long shot, but I don't plan
26:57on ever letting her go.
26:58And so you know what that means, leading to down the road, you know?
27:02I don't want to get married, you know, right off the bat, real fast, real young.
27:06But it's where I want to be.
27:09All that the past few days have really shown me is that, you know, I was wrong.
27:14I mean, sometimes you have to see that for yourself to know.
27:19Because if you keep thinking, well, the grass is greener on the other side, then you don't
27:23appreciate what you have.
27:25Yeah.
27:25But then when you experience it and you see, grass really isn't greener on the other side,
27:31you know?
27:32And nobody can really tell you that.
27:35I really don't know if I will get her back.
27:38That really scares me.
27:51Knit one, purl two.
27:53Knit one, purl two.
27:55I haven't taught.
27:56Have you taught Amber?
27:57I taught her the normal knitting, but I haven't taught her the purl stitch yet.
28:03Based on the recommendation of Renee, my matchmaker, she recommended that I have a chat with the
28:11girls about dating.
28:13So, I have a question for you, girls.
28:15I have an answer.
28:17So, the topic is dating.
28:20Mm-hmm.
28:24My entry into that realm, right?
28:26It's about time.
28:31Have you dated anyone yet, or are you?
28:33I have not dated anybody yet.
28:36Okay.
28:36Right?
28:37I'm moving along, like, slow molasses in January.
28:41Mm-hmm.
28:42I'd love to see dad in a healthy relationship.
28:45I've been waiting for him to, like, you know, say he's gonna start dating.
28:50Seems like I've waited forever, and now he finally says he's ready.
28:53It's like, yeah, it's about time.
28:55Mm-hmm.
28:56I just want to venture out into this new realm and see what happens.
29:01Mm-hmm.
29:01Yeah.
29:03So, I have enlisted the help of a dating service.
29:08You're on a dating app?
29:10No.
29:10Okay.
29:11It's an elite dating service.
29:13Professional matchmakers.
29:15So, it's basically like a dating app?
29:18Dad just doesn't seem like the type of person that would be on a dating app.
29:23Since I'm going down this avenue, there's some feedback I would like from the three of you.
29:29Okay?
29:30She has to have good taste in music.
29:31She has to like 80s music.
29:33Has to like 80s music?
29:35Has to like 80s music?
29:35Not tolerate.
29:36Not just, yeah, at least tolerate.
29:38And country music.
29:40Okay.
29:40She has to have a good sense of humor.
29:42Adventurous.
29:43Adventurous things.
29:43She needs to like water activities.
29:46Yeah.
29:46Yeah.
29:47Smart enough to help us on our math.
29:49Good at communicating.
29:51Um.
29:51She should have a motherly side to her.
29:54Ooh.
29:54What if she likes coffee?
29:56Not at all.
29:56What if you go to kiss her and she has coffee bread?
30:00I'm kidding.
30:00Interesting thought, Mercy.
30:03They seem receptive.
30:05Me and the girls are in really good places together.
30:08I mean, my focus is them.
30:10Right?
30:11So they know dad loves them and I'll be there for them.
30:13No matter what.
30:15Renee is going to vet.
30:17You know what vetting is, right?
30:19To...
30:19Like, like, take care of animals and doctors.
30:23How's this woman going to handle nine children?
30:42The weight that I've put on in the last four and a half years has...
30:47I mean, I just...
30:49I'm in a place where I just feel...
30:51Not great.
30:56I don't like how my clothes fit.
30:59It's...
31:01I don't even want to talk about it.
31:04I just...
31:05I don't like how I feel.
31:08So...
31:08I'm working on turning that around.
31:18My goal is to get a variety, to get some weight training, some flexibility.
31:23Just a variety of things to just kind of get back in shape.
31:32It's been hard on my life.
31:35It's been hard on me, my body, everything.
31:39But I'm turning that around.
31:43This is something I need to do for me.
31:48I'm at that age where my hormones are changing, and that makes it even more difficult to lose weight.
31:56But I'm gonna keep working on it.
31:58Because I just have the rest of my life to live in this body.
32:04Barry had built a ballet bar for me at his house years ago, when it was our house.
32:13So...
32:14Sometime I'll get that installed.
32:16I'm sure Ken will help me with that.
32:20When I lived at the farm last, and we had all these kids running around, we ate really healthy.
32:27We grew lots of vegetables.
32:28We didn't really eat sugar.
32:29We went through a lot of honey, though.
32:32Just do honey back up to there.
32:35It's been real easy to get away from that.
32:37But it's a process.
32:39Trying to make better choices every day.
32:43One thing I used to do a lot of is juicing.
32:47Celery and ginger was my favorite.
32:50That's amazing.
32:52I'm gonna go get my juicer out and see if I can make something.
33:07I know we put it in here when we moved.
33:11It's pretty big, so it can't be too hard to find.
33:15I'm not seeing it.
33:17It's a really nice juicer, I think.
33:20Hey, Ken.
33:26Hey, Ken.
33:28Yeah?
33:29Do you know where my juicer is?
33:31The big white juicer?
33:32Yeah.
33:33When Barry came out, he asked about the juicer, and I told him.
33:36Yeah.
33:37That I had it.
33:39Yeah.
33:39And he took it.
33:42I can't believe, as long as that juicer is sat on the shelf,
33:47Barry just takes it the day before I'm ready to use it.
33:50OK.
33:50Well, I got an issue with Barry, then, because that's not his.
33:54That's definitely mine.
33:55I guess I gotta call Barry.
33:57Well, I'm not getting involved with the juicer.
34:00I know.
34:01Yeah.
34:12You can go back in the living room.
34:14Sorry.
34:20I'm here in Wisconsin.
34:21I drove over here yesterday.
34:23And she doesn't know I'm here.
34:25You're not doing anything weird like driving by our house at 2 o'clock in the morning?
34:29No.
34:30If you don't tell her, the worst thing that can happen is she finds out, and then she thinks
34:34you're really weird.
34:49We're in Wisconsin.
34:51This is where Teagan lives.
34:53And Teagan doesn't know that I'm here.
34:56I have two bags of tools.
34:58I have my duffel bag, just my clothes, and some cash.
35:01And I think that's it.
35:04There's an abandoned lot next to an empty mall a couple miles from here.
35:08And I thought, well, maybe I'll sleep here for a little while.
35:12In this big back seat, it's like sleeping on a couch.
35:15I'm looking at some places that I can lock down for January.
35:21And I just know that this is where I need to be.
35:25And I don't want to tell her, okay, I'm going to move to Wisconsin.
35:29I just want to move to show commitment and not just words, you know?
35:36When I just broke up with Teagan, I was just like, what the hell's going on with all of us?
35:41I think when it comes to relationships and communication and love,
35:47I don't think any of us really know what the hell we're doing.
35:49And a lot of times people go through their teen years kind of learning about that.
35:54And you experience having a boyfriend and breaking up or a girlfriend and breaking up.
35:58And then you learn.
35:59And by the time you're in your 20s, you're kind of like a little seasoned, a little well-rounded.
36:04None of us, to any degree, have had that.
36:08The way I was brought up was very good.
36:11And there are many, many things about it that I would do again.
36:13But the whole like dating and relationship deal, I wouldn't do that the same way.
36:24Just because I feel like it's been more of a hindrance than a benefit.
36:29You end up screwing it up or breaking up or walking away.
36:48It's so hard to be here and know that I'm only a minute from her and I can't see her.
36:57But at the same time, it's actually easier than being in Georgia.
37:02It's like inside I feel at peace here.
37:06Because I feel like this is where I need to be.
37:09It has nothing to do with my family.
37:10I love my family dearly and I'll miss them.
37:13But when you grow up and you feel like your purpose is elsewhere, you can't deny that.
37:20Hey.
37:21Hey.
37:21What are you doing?
37:22Oh, I'm here in Wisconsin.
37:24I drove over here yesterday.
37:27Okay.
37:28I'm just going to look at some places to maybe lock down in January.
37:34If she doesn't know, I'm here.
37:35She hasn't seen my car.
37:36I haven't told her.
37:39What's the reason that you wouldn't just tell her now?
37:43The reason why is because, you know, we made plans multiple times for me to move here and I never
37:50did.
37:50So I don't want to just tell her, hey, I'm going to move here again.
37:55Yeah, but you're there and you're looking at places.
37:59Yeah.
38:00Anyways, I just want to let you know that's what I'm doing.
38:02See how it goes.
38:04There's no chance she would like drive by and be like, oh, there's Ethan's car.
38:11You're not doing anything weird like driving by her house at two o'clock in the morning.
38:15No, no, I have not entered her neighborhood and I'm not going to.
38:19I'm going to be respectful of that.
38:22Well, here's my thought is if you tell her the worst thing that she could think is that, oh, here
38:30he goes again.
38:31He's not going to follow through with it, but then you're going to prove her wrong by following through with
38:34it.
38:36To me, if you don't tell her the worst thing that can happen is she finds out and then she
38:41thinks you're really weird for like being there for weeks or whatever, however long and not saying anything.
38:49Yeah.
38:50Like to me, that would be weird.
38:56I'm going to find a place to get the paperwork done.
39:00Then I can tell her.
39:02I would say if you consider talking to me.
39:05All right.
39:12Tell me about this car.
39:14This is a very recognizable car.
39:16Yes.
39:17So this is a 1976 New Yorker made by Chrysler.
39:21Definitely sticks out.
39:24And Tegan knows you own this car.
39:26Hell yeah.
39:29Are you purposely not?
39:31That was her.
39:32No, it wasn't.
39:33Yeah, it was.
39:34Are you serious?
39:35Yeah, it was.
39:36Jeez.
39:39Let's go.
39:40Come on.
39:41If your butt don't touch, it don't count.
39:43Barry has a nickname in our family and he's called Plath Daddy.
39:48And he will always be Plath Daddy.
39:51Plath Daddy.
39:52Is it?
39:53There we go.
39:54Hey.
39:56Hey, are you good?
39:58Well, I have something for you.
40:00Just let me know when you go pick it up.
40:04I was just wanting.
40:05When I can pick it up?
40:06Yeah.
40:08Okay.
40:10I don't take bullcrap.
40:12I know my self-worth.
40:15I know what I will and won't take.
40:17All I need is one more chance.
40:21I don't give second chances.
