- Marlo didn't want

to find out this time,

but I kind of wish we did.

Mid-40s,

who needs the surprise, right?

Well, you're gonna find out

any day now, so...

exciting.

Yep.

(MELLOW JAZZ CONTINUES)

Whoa. Where...

where are the kids sitting?

ELYSE:

Oh, they're with Shasta.

They have their own little

kid-friendly spread.

Truffle mac and cheese,

something green.

Yeah, lucky little bastards.

Wow, we can actually have

a conversation.

ELYSE:

I know, right?

Oh.

Siri, play hip-hop.

(HIP-HOP BEAT BEGINS)

(ELYSE LAUGHS)

Yeah.

Do you guys have

any chicken nuggets?

He only eats chicken nuggets.

Chicken nuggets are full

of growth hormones.

Do you know

what they do to the chickens

- at factory farms?

- What?

They slice off their beaks

with a hot blade

- so the chickens can't peck each other.

- Mm.

CRAIG:

So, Drew, how's work going?

I'm curious about the, um...

Last time we were talking

about, um...

Yeah, nobody...

nobody gets what I do.

(CHUCKLES) I, uh,

I audit organizational paths

and, uh, and systems

for workers

in a proto-corporate structure.

- Mm.

- Oh, yeah. 'Course.

That's fun.

Um, it's...

I hit a snag lately,

so it's kind of, uh,

compelling right now, but...

You're swamped,

on a big project.

Well, that and... three.

(FOOD CRUNCHING)

You know, the, uh,

that thing in your stomach.

Oh.

- Yeah, three kids.

- Mm.

- Crazy.

- Yep.

You're gonna love it.

We love having three.

And the third kid

is always the easiest. Right?

- Oh, yeah.

- Fred is so chill.

- You can ignore him. It's fine.

- (CHUCKLES)

Chill would be nice.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, you guys really have

your hands full with Jonah.

Um, not in a bad way.

I mean, he's such a great kid.

He's quirky.

His school wants us

to get him an aide,

'cause I guess

the teachers can't handle him.

ELYSE:

Oh, that's awesome.

Um, that they're, you know,

recognizing his needs.

- Yeah, no, they're...

- Yeah.

they're all over it.

Marlo, remind me after dinner

I want to show you

something cool.

I've already seen the G-Wagon.

(MOCKING):

It's not the G-Wagon.

It's very cool.

You're gonna like it.

(CRAIG SETS STYLUS

ON TURNING LP)

(TRADITIONAL HAWAIIAN MUSIC

PLAYING)

Do you like it?

When do the birds

start singing?

Okay, you know,

it was inspired by one

- of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

- Epcot?

Tahiti.

(CHUCKLING)

Sit down, a**hole.

I'll make you a drink.

So, um, I want to talk to you.

I have an idea for a special

baby gift this time around.

- Ooh, is it money?

- No.

(GROANS)

I don't mind money.

I'm not above that.

You know that, right?

Yeah. Do you know

what a night nanny is?

- Oh.

- Okay, you know what, everybody does it.
