00:00All the Johnsons are here. Why don't you all get in the picture?
00:04Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought these were family photos.
00:07Here we go.
00:08Alvin, Mr. Johnson said that they were moving to Michigan. You have been in a foul mood.
00:12They are family.
00:14Do I look like Timo?
00:15Is there no friends or family playing?
00:19Calvin, look, this is a day of love. We are in a room filled with love.
00:25Why can't you just admit how you feel?
00:27Oh, I would admit how I feel, but we're in a church.
00:30All right, all right. Okay, day one, why don't you go stand on that?
00:33Okay, here we go.
00:35Let's get married, baby!
00:37No! No, no, no, no, no!
00:40Mommy!
00:41You turn around!
00:43It is bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony!
00:46Sup, y'all?
00:47Sup, y'all!
00:49No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:52You two, stare at the corner until you get the all clear.
00:58All right, butlers.
01:00We're getting close.
01:00Okay.
01:01Oh, this is so exciting!
01:03Come on, let's take our seats, guys.
01:04Come on.
01:14What are we supposed to do now?
01:17I don't know.
01:17I'm afraid to move.
01:20Welcome to the block.
01:21Welcome to the neighborhood.
01:22Welcome to the neighborhood.
01:34Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you all for the very first time,
01:40Mr. and Mrs. Butler and Mr. and Mrs. Butler.
01:48We're actually the Pridginbumpers.
01:50And I'm contractually obligated to keep my name.
01:52It's on a line of shampoos.
01:54I said what I said.
01:55The Butlers, everybody!
02:04I'm starving.
02:05Is this what being pregnant is like?
02:06Pretty much.
02:07Yo!
02:08Meatball, man.
02:09Yes.
02:15I can't believe I'm going to miss the babies being born.
02:19That's okay.
02:20Gemma, you'll come back and see them?
02:21Of course.
02:22And you'll all come to Michigan, right?
02:25Right.
02:25Barely new here.
02:26Yeah, I mean, like...
02:29Oh, why the face?
02:31What's with the caviar?
02:33I don't need a lot of tiny little eggs on a big egg.
02:38Calvin, this is a classy affair.
02:40It's not a yard-a-cue.
02:42No, I know it's not a yard-a-cue.
02:43Because if it wasn't a yard-a-cue,
02:45nobody would be putting pre-ground pepper on lamb chops.
02:50I'm just glad my father's not alive to see this.
02:53Oh, my God.
02:58Mercedes, you made my boy the happiest man in the world.
03:02Hey, uh, could I get you two to sign a copy of your book?
03:05Yeah, of course.
03:06Although, Malcolm wrote it.
03:08I just put my name...
03:09Hold on.
03:09How did you get this?
03:11Yeah, uh, the book isn't even out yet, Trey.
03:14Oh, I just grabbed a few out of the box
03:16that was in your living room when I was house-sitting for you.
03:20No?
03:20I did not ask you to house-sit.
03:22Come on, man.
03:23You don't have to.
03:24We've been friends for 30 years, dog.
03:30Grover?
03:32What's with the bags?
03:34Mr. Calvin,
03:36I come to you now in my hour of need.
03:40I refuse to move to Michigan,
03:42and I'd like to claim asylum in your house.
03:48Uh, that's not happening.
03:51Would you let someone force you to move to Michigan?
03:54When I was 15?
03:55Yes.
03:57Come on.
03:59Help a brother out.
04:03Okay.
04:04I see you pulling out all the tricks.
04:07Nice try.
04:08But go on now.
04:15Mr. Calvin, usually I would go on now.
04:18But this time the stakes are too high.
04:20Oh.
04:22Hey.
04:23I've never had anybody not go on now.
04:27No.
04:28When I'm gone,
04:30we'll have girls trips, right?
04:31Oh, definitely.
04:33We'll meet somewhere in the middle.
04:34What's halfway between L.A. and Kalamazoo?
04:38Nebraska.
04:41What's three-quarters of the way?
04:44Let's just say Vegas.
04:45Vegas!
04:45Woo-hoo!
04:47More.
04:48More.
04:49Come on.
04:50More, more.
04:50More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
04:52Sir, sir.
04:53That is enough pepper.
04:55Of course.
04:56You know better than I do.
04:58But you don't.
05:01Sorry about Grover camping out at your house.
05:04Camping?
05:05He's basically asking me to adopt him.
05:08Look, this whole moving thing is really making him act out.
05:10Well, you're tearing him away from his home.
05:13It's selfish.
05:15His words.
05:16Well, I'm sorry he feels that way,
05:19but it's not his choice.
05:20Exactly.
05:21Because you and Dave are making the decision for him.
05:24And he feels betrayed.
05:26It'd be your own people.
05:28His words.
05:31Oh, come on.
05:32Calvin, Grover said,
05:34it'd be your own people?
05:37Yes.
05:38And I told him it was cultural appropriation.
05:42But he used it right.
05:45I'll take it.
05:45No, no, no, no.
05:47Brown pepper.
05:47Go on.
05:48Get in there.
05:55I love how chill you guys are,
05:57but the parental controls.
05:59I'm parental controlled.
06:03I'll be in my room.
06:04You don't have a room.
06:08Curious?
06:09Yeah.
06:09Hey, Dad, while we have you alone,
06:12we, uh,
06:13we got you something.
06:16What's this?
06:17Well, it's a token of appreciation
06:19from me and Malcolm.
06:23Wow.
06:24Wow.
06:26It's beautiful.
06:28Read the engraving.
06:30For the man who taught us to be men.
06:36Wow, guys, I...
06:37I don't even know what to say.
06:39Thanks, sir.
06:43We got him.
06:43We did.
06:44Yeah, we did.
06:45Yeah, we did.
06:46And, uh, uh-uh.
06:48One more thing.
06:49One more thing.
06:54Brown Sugar Nights.
06:56This is your book?
06:57Yep.
06:57First copy.
06:59You got him one more thing?
07:03Read the acknowledgements.
07:06To my father, Calvin Butler.
07:09He never lost faith in me.
07:13Blindsided here.
07:17Of course, I never lose faith in you, son.
07:19Well, I almost did.
07:21You know, Papa, it wasn't that long ago
07:23I felt like I was going nowhere,
07:24living back home.
07:25But you believed in me.
07:27Now I'm a novelist.
07:29I'm married.
07:29I'm about to have a kid.
07:31Well, you got two kids from me.
07:35Well, thank you for this, son.
07:37And you got me a watch, man.
07:39Well, we got you the watch.
07:43Oh, hey, Mama, perfect.
07:45All right.
07:46We got something for you.
07:47One thing.
07:48Right, Malcolm?
07:49Aw.
07:50You didn't have to get me anything.
07:53Yes, we did.
07:55I know you did, because I raised you right.
07:58Oh, my goodness.
07:59It's so beautiful.
08:01I love it.
08:02Well, I picked it out for you, my man.
08:05And Daddy's, too.
08:09Thank you, baby.
08:10As for being the best mama ever.
08:12Aw.
08:13Hey, babe.
08:14Yeah, baby.
08:14Check it out.
08:15Oh, nice.
08:16And I'm on the first page of Malcolm's book.
08:18Aw.
08:20Oh, that's a whole lot of skin.
08:22Yeah.
08:23We're going to have to read this together.
08:25No, I don't know.
08:27We can do more to read.
08:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:31Are you happy now, Malcolm?
08:32Yeah, no, look.
08:33Look what you did.
08:34No, don't run away.
08:35Look what you did.
08:36Now, look.
08:36I'm a freak, man.
08:38Look.
08:39Baby, before we go back out there, can you please just fix this mess with Dave?
08:44It's nothing to fix.
08:46Dave's moving.
08:47We'll get new neighbors.
08:49Baby, it's just weird to me.
08:51Everything is changing.
08:52Angie, we're about to start a whole new chapter in our lives.
08:56The boys are married now.
08:57They're going to have their hands full with their new family, son.
09:01Honestly, it's just scary.
09:04It's going to be okay when it's just the two of us, right?
09:07Is that what you're worried about?
09:10Babe, you're looking at this all wrong.
09:13We're not losing our kids.
09:15We're gaining more of each other.
09:18I guess that's true.
09:19It is true.
09:21We can do whatever we want to.
09:22Yeah.
09:23We can travel, take a cruise.
09:24Yeah.
09:25We can visit all the countries where they drive on the wrong side of the road.
09:29Well, we can do whatever, because we are Calvin and Tina Butler.
09:39Hey, Tina, sorry about all this.
09:41The last thing you need today is Grover squatting in your house.
09:44Grover's in our house?
09:48Long story, babe.
09:50But the upshot here is he is not very happy about this Michigan thing.
09:54Yep, neither am I.
09:57You think we are?
09:58Do you know that moving is one of life's top five stressors, right next to death of a spouse?
10:04Really?
10:05Does no one read my substack?
10:09When we moved here, oh, my God, that was so stressful.
10:13I remember the first time I tried to get on the freeway, there were so many cars, and nobody would
10:16let me in, and I had to pull over onto the shoulder.
10:19Yeah, then you called me, and I had to come get you.
10:21Yeah, and you brought me a smoothie and a Xanax.
10:24That's good.
10:26You know, I remember when you first took me to the barbershop.
10:29Yeah, I still don't know what I was thinking there.
10:32I learned so much.
10:34Who knew that you could buy shrimp at a barbershop?
10:37Where am I going to buy shrimp in Michigan?
10:41Well, at a store.
10:43But I hear you.
10:45Oh, you're still here.
10:47The bartender is out of Butterbeer, which is interesting, because someone thought that Butterbeer was silly.
10:53Turns out it's super popular, Gemma, Mama.
10:57Well, that's because you invited so many nerds.
11:02Also, Courtney's grandmama, Willianne, she lost her dentures.
11:06So, has anybody seen a set of bottom teeth?
11:10Oh, that reminds me.
11:12Remember that time you were watching Grover, and he lost a baby tooth, and you gave him a $10 bill?
11:17That's when I knew I needed glasses, because I thought it was a one.
11:21Yeah, I remember that.
11:22And we got so mad, because we used to only get a quarter.
11:25Yeah, it took me four teeth to get one can of soda.
11:30You know, that's what's going to make this so hard.
11:32We've had so many great memories in this house.
11:34I mean, the amount of times that I've heard,
11:36Get out, Dave.
11:39And you never got out.
11:42Until now.
11:44Until now.
11:49We have company?
11:54You don't live here.
11:57We're just reminiscing, honey.
11:59Talking about how hard this move is going to be.
12:02Yeah, Malcolm and Marty have been like my big brothers.
12:04Yes, we have.
12:06Hey, uh, you remember when we taught you how to play poker?
12:09Oh, yes.
12:10And he gave me my first beer.
12:11What?
12:12What?
12:18This is going to be hard on all of us.
12:21Even though some of us won't say it.
12:26Here they are.
12:27Hey, sorry to bother you, but did you want to, I don't know, join your wedding?
12:31Oh!
12:36No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:37You too.
12:42Hey, buddy.
12:43Glad to see you back out here.
12:45Yeah.
12:46But don't expect me to be my usual bubbly self, okay?
12:50I won't.
12:51But remember, you were not on board at all when we moved here.
12:55But you found your place.
12:57Yes.
12:57And you know what?
12:58In Kalamazoo, you're going to be the cool California kid.
13:02You think that's true?
13:04Absolutely.
13:06You've been to Laker games.
13:07You go to school with an extra from Stranger Things.
13:10You saw Judge Judy in a Whole Foods.
13:15I'll be a god.
13:19Son.
13:20We both are.
13:21Okay.
13:22Your attention, please.
13:24And now it's that time.
13:26Let's hear it for the father of the grooms, Mr. Calvin Butler.
13:30Yeah.
13:36Well, thanks for coming tonight, everybody.
13:39We appreciate you being here.
13:41It's a lovely night.
13:42I see so many friends and neighbors here.
13:45This is the greatest neighborhood in the world.
13:48And Tina and I are blessed in so many ways.
13:51Woo!
13:54Malcolm, Marty, you've grown to be great men.
13:58Courtney, Mercedes, welcome to the family.
14:04And soon, you'll be having families of your own.
14:07Well, Marty kind of got up a bit of a head start.
14:10Head start right here.
14:13Oh, and for the record, we will not be babysitting all three grandbabies at once.
14:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
14:18Yes, we will.
14:21Well, I'll stay correct.
14:24And while this night is about celebration,
14:26I have to acknowledge that it's all so bittersweet.
14:29While we are welcoming new family members,
14:33we're saying goodbye to others.
14:36The Johnsons.
14:37Woo!
14:38That's it!
14:41And I'm going to have to keep it real, y'all.
14:43You know, I wasn't feeling Dave at first.
14:45You know?
14:46Living in a little short shorts.
14:48Just, you know, broke.
14:49You know, broke.
14:50Just broke.
14:51Yeah.
14:52But, you know, since I am keeping it real,
14:56I have to say that
14:59you turned out to be a great neighbor.
15:05And?
15:08And, um, and a good friend.
15:17Hey, whatever, man.
15:21My best friend, yeah.
15:27And?
15:31I'm going to miss you, man.
15:34I love you, too.
15:35I did not say that.
15:37I did not say that.
15:38Yes, you did.
15:40I speak Calvin.
15:41Okay.
15:42I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
15:44Don't worry about it.
15:44Now, to quote one of our great poets
15:48who spoke of the power of love,
15:50of course I'm speaking of Huey Lewis,
15:55I've got some news for you.
15:58Now, the journey is long,
16:00but the destiny...
16:18Do you really need to take that box of charging cables?
16:21Well, I don't know what they go to.
16:23What if I find the thing later?
16:24How am I going to charge it?
16:28Jake to L.A.
16:29Hey, did you bring those with you
16:31when you moved here?
16:33I don't know what they go to.
16:39Hey, uh, Calvin.
16:41Yeah, man.
16:42I want you to have this.
16:44Thank you, Dave.
16:45I'll treasure it.
16:49What is it?
16:52It's called SCOBY.
16:53It's the mother yeast I've used for years
16:55to make my famous kombucha.
16:59I can't accept this.
17:00No, no, no, no.
17:02No, mother is far too delicate to make the trip.
17:06But now you can make your own booch,
17:08and a piece of me will
17:11always be in your gut.
17:19We'll throw it away as soon as they leave.
17:22I think I'm going to leave it
17:23for the new neighbors.
17:29Oh.
17:30Mr. Calvin.
17:32Yeah?
17:32Um,
17:34thank you, Mr. Calvin,
17:36for everything.
17:37You've taught me a lot.
17:40Okay.
17:42Oh.
17:43Okay.
17:47Well, all right.
17:55Well,
17:57I guess this is it.
17:59Oh, wait.
18:00I almost forgot.
18:02Oh.
18:04Is this the key to our house?
18:05You'd only been here a few weeks
18:07when you gave it to us.
18:08It meant so much.
18:10Greatest day of my life.
18:12And bear in mind,
18:13I married him
18:14and gave birth to his child.
18:17You know what?
18:19But
18:19you keep it.
18:21Our door is always open.
18:23This neighborhood
18:24will always be your home.
18:27Well, all right.
18:29Oh, come on.
18:31Yeah.
18:34Come on, buddy.
18:35Get in there.
18:37Love you, Mr. Lady.
18:38You, too.
18:40Tina.
18:40Oh, Dave.
18:41Take care, man.
18:43Oh, you, too.
18:44All right.
18:45Seatbelt, Grover.
18:46Seatbelt.
18:47All right.
18:47You guys be good.
18:49Oh,
18:50I'm gonna miss you.
18:51Y'all make sure
18:52y'all come back
18:53and visit anytime.
18:55But call first.

19:08will never be the same.
19:10So,

19:12our new neighbors?
19:14I'm gonna need a minute.
19:15I'm not ready
19:16to break in a new Dave.
19:25Welcome to the block.
19:26Welcome to my neck of the woods.
19:28Where it never was perfect
19:29but it's better than good.
19:30Check on my neighbors
19:30and do what we can do for them.
19:32It's new for some.
19:33For others,
19:33it's a veteran hood.
19:34It's the block,
19:35not a lot.
19:36But it's all we really got.
19:37And they just refine the areas
19:38they will never stop.
19:39So the next door
19:40gotta sit together
19:40and we know that.
19:41When you watch Rocky,
19:42you know I got your back.
19:43Welcome to the block.
19:44Welcome to the neighborhood.
19:46It's welcome to the hood.
19:47Welcome to the hood.
