Oh, I'm so sorry...

When I took

an emergency flight to Austin,

I didn't exactly think

to pack formal wear.

That makes perfect sense.

I'm sure

I have something you can wear.

Great.

[Romantic tune comes up]

Why me,

Why did you pick

on my heart to break?

Why did you have to fool me?

So I would to propose a toast,

to the memory of Mr. Roosevelt.

Oh, Jess.

[Sound of clinking glasses]

I don't know if you guys notice

anything different about me.

I've been meditating.

Yep, using an app

called Mind Time.

Thank you.

It's awesome.

He is so calm, so peaceful.

- Present.

- He's got this glow...

I'm finally here.

I can see it.

- Free app?

- Yeah, free.

I'll send it to you guys.

I get referrals...

- Very cool.

- It's awesome.

It's like, I don't know,

life-changing.

So, Eric, how's your band doing?

I saw you guys got a write-up

in the Chronicle last year.

Eric's taking a break from

right now.

He's getting

his real estate license.

- I love houses.

- I know you do.

Whoa, you're going to become

a real estate agent?

Yeah, they say if you sell one,

you can be set for a year.

I get that. We all do things

we don't want to do for a while,

so we can do the things that

we really want to do.

That's why

I audition for commercials.

It's more of a long-term thing.

You know, music is great,

and he's so good at it, but

you can only do this band thing

for so long

before you have to start thinking

about your future, right?

Right.

So. Emily, you're an actress?

No. I'm actually more

of a comedian.

Which basically means

I'm a less attractive

version of an actress.

Oh...

Why would you say that?

You're so beautiful.

So cute.

I'm joking.

Yeah, but even if you're joking,

it's not healthy

to talk about yourself that way.

So, Emily, you do stand-up?

No, I don't do stand up comedy.

It's hard to explain what I

do...

It's stupid.

It's pretty dumb.

Emily is so funny.

You have over 50,000

YouTube subscribers, right?

Wow!

Really? Wow!

You can really do something

with that.

I was just reading this article

about a girl who was doing

make-up tutorials online,

and she accidentally

got make-up in her eye,

and she had this major

freak-out.

It was so real and so funny.

So the video goes viral,

and then she goes

on the "Today" show,

and based on its success,

she was able to launch her own

beauty tutorial channel,

and she just came out

with this big make-up line.

Have you ever thought of

doing something like that?

No, I haven't.

Why not?

Oh, what about you, Celeste?

I never found out

what you do for a living.

Celeste is an entrepreneur.

Okay.

What's that mean?

Just a fancy French word.
