How many times do you

think we should do it?.

Five?.

?

Lifting up the right leg.

Hips squared.

[moaning]

[moaning]

Oh, my, you've gone full-on

daddy but without the whole

"old guy who used

to be hot" thing.

- Hey, bear.

- Woof.

So how was proving to yourself

that you could still

do it with a woman?.

It was surprisingly easy.

We did it a couple days

in a row.

It seemed so early

for a mid-life crisis,

and yet here we are.

You'll be happy to know

that I'm off duty right now.

Until next month.

Then let's find you a man.

You need to cleanse your

palate after all that puss.

- Excuse me.

- Hi.

Can you help us out?.

Sure, what's up?.

I'm looking for some comics

for my son Parker here.

Parker...

Like Peter Parker?.

Do you like Spider-Man?.

No.

Okay... What kind

of books do you like?.

I like the Fantastic Four.

Remember that cartoon?.

What does the Thing say?.

It's clobbering time.

That's so cute.

Do you have a kids' section?.

But no Spider-Man - we are

boycotting Spider-Man, right?.

Yeah, it's over near there

near the action figures.

- Thanks.

- Sure.

Say...

Wow, young daddy's kind of hot.

Straight guys are not hot.

We're gay.

We like gay guys.

We have self-esteem today.

Oh, so that's why you lower

your voice like three octaves

every time you

meet someone cute?.

What can I say -

I'm naturally deep-voiced.

I have to fight

to be this way with you.

Well, you'd never know.

Can we go get lunch now?.

I want to eat myself fat.

Jenn, Linda wants you to pick

up her laptop at Tech-Place.

They saved her drive.

Okay, I'm on it.

She said, no rush.

Just before five would be great.

Valerie, I was working

on some new class ideas,

and I thought that we

should offer prenatal.

But pregnant women aren't

supposed to do hot yoga.

But people have babies

in the desert all the time.

But those people live in the

desert all the time,

so they're used to it.

Well, I have a few clients

who would really be into it.

Really?. I don't know.

Just don't forget the laptop.

Already did.

Hey, I'm out.

You're pouting.

What's wrong?.

Valerie thinks that pregnant

women can't handle hot yoga.

Maybe she's right.

Are you gonna keep

teaching once you are?.

I do hot yoga all the time.

I'll be fine.

You will.

But we don't want

your baby coming out

all twisty and toasty

like a pretzel.

Oh, my God!

You should name him Pretzel!

- What if it's a girl?.

- Pretzelle.

No, no...

Lady Windermere.

- I have to go.

- Bye.

How long is it supposed to take?.

I think it said to wait

two to five minutes.

But I don't want to just

stand here and stare at it.

Oh, my God...

We're gonna know really soon.

I know.
