you guys were coming over...

I was so excited, I just had

to do something, you know?

Well, that is something,

all right.

You know what? Sometimes, you

just got to say, "f*** it."

F*** it!

You should...

Laird,

this is a 15-year-old child.

So, we don't really...

Oh, sh*t.

- You don't say f***?

- No, mom, I...

Heck yeah, I cuss.

No, you don't.

You do?

Yeah.

Oh, he cusses.

No, you don't.

Yeah, bro, what's your

favorite cuss word?

Oh, boy.

Don't egg him on like that.

What's your favorite?

- Uh...

- Hmm.

Titties.

Titties? Titties.

Stop it. Stop that.

Titties? Classic.

Okay. We should be going.

Nice one. What else you got?

A**hole.

A**hole.

All right. That's enough.

Okay. Another good body part.

What else?

Dicking. Double dicking.

Double dicking.

Okay.

Wait. Hold on.

Double dicking?

Are you happy?

That's a new one on me, bro.

What the f*** is that?

What the hell is that?

Is that like dick to dick?

Okay! Good night!

We're going to the hotel.

This kid is nasty

and I f***ing like it.

Yeah.

Yes!

All right, let's do the tour.

I'll show you around!

All right?

Just throw your sh*t anywhere.

You little double-dicker,

come on.

Throw your stuff anywhere.

By the way, I'm a huge fan.

I'm part of the online ape army.

Awesome.

You know, this is what I was trying

to tell you guys in the car.

This is okay here?

Do you want to

take your coat off?

Uh, no.

Nope. I'm fine.

Come on, guys.

All right,

so this here's the Kitch.

This is where we keep the food.

The dining room.

That's a sculpture

of a couple people f***ing.

Painting of a fat squirrel.

And this one's called

"triple team,"

self-explanatory.

All right. This is the den.

These dudes are just

testing out video games.

Ned, Stephy says that you're

pretty serious about your bowling,

so I had

a couple lanes installed.

Oh, my god.

None of this was here?

No.

You said you were fixing

a crack in the foundation.

Is that us?

Yeah, I got the images off

your league's Facebook page.

That's so insane.

Dad, look, he even got in

your signature "crotch chop."

Oh, yeah.

Wow.

All right, this here is

where we develop a few apps

for the apple and

android platforms.

Hey, gang,

say hi to the Flemings.

Hey, guys.

Hey, what's up?

Wait, I don't understand.

Do your employees live here?

Uh, maybe some of them do.

I don't really know.

Gustav is actually

an amazing architect.

We designed this place together.

When did you go to machu picchu?

Hun, when did you put these up?

What the heck is that moose?

That's a Phillip Manfredi.

Great pick-up, Barb.

Stephy told me that you're this amazing

art and photography professor.

- That's awesome.
