[Alexa] Hello?
[dog barking]
Hi, Sneaky!
Hi, Sneakers.
-[Alexa] Hi! -Alexa, what's up?
-Hey, who wants to hug me first? -Calm down.
The Lemieux's are back.
Shabbat shalom.
Being married is great.
You have, like, your best friend that's always there with you,
and life's so much better, like, doing it with someone else.
It makes, like, all the things just better.
Living the dream, man. L-I-V-I-N.

They come from so far outside the city.
-[Morgan] By horses? -Long time.
They come by covered wagon, so…
-That's how I got here. -[Alexa laughs]
[upbeat pop music plays]
[Brennon] It's literally happening right now! This isn't…
See, like, this is what I gotta live with. I still have to live with that.
But now I've lost my hearing so I don't hear it as much.
I think the alcohol is setting in for everybody. [chuckles]
Whoo!
-L'chaim. -L'chaim.
[Morgan] How's the last year been?
[Alexa] I'm very excited for the next chapter of having kids.
Especially knowing that Brennon's gonna be a really good dad, like,
it makes me more confident in being, you know, like, a good mom.
Make sure you're really stable before you start having children
because it's stressful.
Even if you have a great relationship, it's very stressful to have kids.
Now I'm like, if it happens, it happens.
Because we've never, you know, just protected ourselves from it.
-You know? -[both laugh]
It's just been by the grace of God.
Pull out and pray.
Pull and pray, baby, yeah. [laughs]
The married bedroom is fine.
It's fine? I would say it's a little better than fine, but…
-Well, I'm just saying. -We do have a lot of sex.
-[laughs] -[imitates Borat] I like.
[laughs]
Yeah, and Brennon's, you know…
-He's a-- -Oh, the double pat.
-[laughs] -Nice, yeah. Must mean excellent.
-I'm guessing. I don't know. -Good.
Yeah, it does. Yeah. He's a gentleman through and through.
Are you looking forward to being pregnant? Like, that big belly?
That I don't mind. I'm having a C-section 'cause nothing's coming out my yahoo.
-Tight like a tiger. Huh? -I didn't mind it. I liked it.
No, no, no, no, no, I love that for you.
I just like my vagina in, like, the form that it is now, and--
-No, it goes back to it. It's a muscle. -Yeah, no, it's just--
I don't want a bounce-back situation. I want just a slice-me-open situation.
You know? Pull that baby right on out, and not through my vagine.
[chuckles]
I know I'm the stepmom, but also your best friend.
What's the name situation gonna be?
I really feel like after hearing, "Your stepmom's so hot,"
"Your mom's so hot…" Like, "I know, okay?"
You're grandma, okay.
It's ten years of hearing, "Your stepmom's hot."
You'll just be Grandma Momo.
Grandma Momo. Okay.
Just, like, it rolls off the tongue, Just Grandma Momo.
The family tree is--
Wouldn't it be more weird if I was, like, pregnant when you were pregnant?
You know, it's like, Sister Wives. I just have no interest in--
-We're pregnant together? -[Alexa laughs]

Welcome to Shabbat dinner. Yeah, shabbat shalom, you guys.
We've done a couple family gatherings together.
[Alexa] We're gonna have some challah, have some wine.
Challah, like, "holla"?
Yeah, exactly.
So, our families are kind of like meshing together on traditions.
She said we get to holla.
It's ch… It's… Yeah. It's said, "Holla."
But it's like, when you look at it, like words, it's like challah.
-[Rhonda] It's what? -Like a bread thing.
It is chaos sometimes trying to work in all the different traditions together.

[Arielle] What's your favorite part about marriage so far?
Oh wow. Okay, um, my favorite part about marriage is, um…
Just the companionship of it, you know?
He's my one. He's my lobster.
Is that good?
Yeah, I think a lobster is good. It's actually engraved in my wedding band.
-"You're my lobster." It's what we put. -You don't get it.
-[Alexa] It's a Friends thing. -[Brennon] Young person thing.
-[Alexa] Tell him about the claws. -When lobsters do the claws,
the claw's like, "Whew! I'm a lobster."
-They're lobstered up. -Can't disconnect the claws.
Is that before they get eaten or afterwards?
No. Did y'all think we were fucking crazy?
The way I came and I said, "Okay, I brought this man meat home
that I met, you know, two weeks ago, and I'm gonna marry him."
One hundred percent.
I thought you were kidding.
[all laughing]
Why don't you give a redo of your speech for our wedding, right here, right now?
You really… You want me to be honest?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Okay, well, I hate him.
[all laughing]
[laughs] Okay.
[all laughing]
Okay, all right now.
No. So, uh… I'm pleasantly surprised.
He is who he is. Respectful and hard-working.
I always told you a country boy would be… well-suited for you.
And, uh, no offense,
I think she has the upper hand. I would level that out a little bit.
[Alexa] You think?
-Fact. -[Arielle] Hundred percent.
-[laughs] -Oh my God. Uh, no.
-I'm just being honest, so… -Okay.
[laughs] Alexa's dad and my relationship? Um…
I don't know, it's weird. It's… I don't want to say vulgar.
So what's good?
But you kind of dig at somebody a little bit.
You try to push certain buttons, you gotta kinda get buttons pushed, so…
You gotta be able to take a joke in those kinda situations.
If it was me, I'd flip that shit around, but that's a hard thing to do.
We have a healthy balance in our relationship, thank you.
-Says her. -[Alexa] He takes control sometimes.
Sometimes I do, which is necessary.
Bringing our families together has just…
-I mean, it's been beautiful. -It's been great.
I was super worried.
Why?
[chuckles]
'Cause you're my sweet cheeks. I mean, he's… You know.
[Alexa] Aww.
Yeah.
My Bren-Bren.
[Alexa] He's in good hands. Can't wait for us to have kids,
then we'll have three sets of grandparents.
-Yes. -Love that for us.
Free babysitting is what I see right here.

Jaxon, you gotta be buff with the guys.
-Come on, boy. -Big dogs.
-[dogs barking] -All right. Go play.
The biggest highlight for, like, marriage is he's lovey-dovey.
[Matt laughs]
You are. When it's just me and him,
he's just like, "Oh, come here, you look so cute."
-Like, talking to me, little baby talk. -You're not hearing the baby talk.
-Just for me. [laughs] -That's for her ears only.
One hundred percent.
[dog barking]
[Matt] I am so tempted to go jump into that hose over there.
Can we get a bulldog?
-Absolutely not. -Why not?
-They're so cool. -Uh-uh.
I want a girl dog.
They're so much nicer.
But you really do look like your dog.
-Little legs, little arms. -I've got short legs.
He's got a long torso, short legs. I got a long torso and short legs.
-He really is your son. -It is what it is, you know. [laughs]
Jaxon's my boy, but she wants to get him neutered so bad.
Yes, it's too much humping for me.
She likes to sleep naked on the bottom half.
-No, I don't-- -So, having the dog under there…
-She feels uncomfortable. -Yeah, it just…
It's a lot happening underneath the covers
when you have, like, a little long-haired wiener dog, you know, squirming around.
It's tough.
-Okay. It's the thing to do. -[laughs]
-It's, like, time to get your dog spayed. -Yeah, yeah.
It would be neutered in this case 'cause he's a guy.
Oh yeah, neutered, sorry.
I'm not the dog, like, know-all, be-all.
-Yeah. -But it's the thing to do.
[Matt] I don't know if that's really gonna happen.
Mm. Yeah, it's time.
[thunder rumbling]
[Colleen] Before another dog, we definitely need a house.
-Oh, absolutely. -I want a house.
-Absolutely. -But I want to be in Dallas.
Yeah, or we could go buy a house in Fort Worth and be happy about it.
[Matt laughs]
You spend $800,000 20 miles that way, you get a monster.
Out here it's like a shack.
I appreciate that opinion.
-I appreciate, but it does not matter. -[laughs] But it doesn't matter.
We'll see. We'll see about that.
But you don't live in, like, the best neighborhood.
-I don't? What are you talking about? -You don't.
-I live in a fantastic area. -A guy's body was in the dumpster.
All right, girl, let's keep it on…
[both laughing]
Allegedly. Allegedly.
We've been together for a year now,
and we have plans to move in with each other, coming up.
And we're just gonna go with the flow and do what we feel is best for us.
And we just know that how it's gonna work
is to just, like, wait a second, and then we'll move in together.
But if we didn't say yes, we wouldn't be together right now.
I'd probably agree with that.
'Cause we get in these fights, and I'd be like,
"Well, he said yes to me for a reason."
You know, like, he obviously loves me.
-He sees a future with me. -Mm-hm.
Like, I don't think that I would have that same thought process
if we said no to each other, and then we would get in,
like, those little fights.
We knew we wanted to be with each other, but,
we had to put in the work to make this really work.
And so, we really had to start, I guess, morphing individually
into what the other person needed.
Jumping into move in with each other? Who knows how that would've worked?
For us to make this really work the way we want to, this is how we have to do it.
-And we don't regret it at all. -Yeah.
-You can piggyback on that if you want. -No. Yeah. It…
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[thunder rumbling]
Our relationship started off with communication.
-Then our communication went… [whistles] -Right.
-It's not like it wasn't good. -It wasn't good.
We had to learn how we respond to certain situations.
Gotta admit, you'd go off the deep end.
You wouldn't listen to me!
But you weren't listening to me when I was, like, talking.
-And so, then I would get mad. -Yeah. Yeah.
And then you would get mad because I'm mad.
And then it was just like… argh!
[Matt] Yes.
If I said to you, like, a year and a half ago, like, "Your little legs."
-You'd be like, "Oh, my little legs." Oh! -[Matt laughs]
-Cheers to growth. [laughs] -Cheers to growth.
-Not in my legs, but-- -Not in your… Your legs are not growing.

[Raven] Hallelujah.
-Home! -Hey, kiddos.
[Raven] We're home!
-[SK] I'm hungry. -Want me to turn on the air fryer?
-[chuckles] Okay, air-fryer queen. -[laughs]
I was thinking about that the other day.
I was like, "I think you like really wet food,
and I like crunchy dry food."
-You like, like, stewy, soupy… Yeah. -Soupy.
I'm not finna makes no sauce.
At least we agree on seasoning, so…
I just don't trust people who don't like spicy food. I'm like…
You ain't got no soul in you. You ain't never been through nothing.
[laughs]
After our wedding, SK and I kind of, you know, took a step back.
It was a big processing moment for me.
Um, I was, like, so dramatic and emotional.
Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and protect her,
forsaking all others, and holding only onto her forevermore?
If so, say I do.
I do not.
[dramatic music plays]
I feel like today is not the best time for us to do this.
And I think that was just scary, but now we're in a much better place.
And it's amazing.
Everybody needs a little bit of seasoning in their lives, you know?
-I got messy with you. -I was up… Why?
[both laughing]
[Raven] Eww!
We are not engaged anymore,
but we are definitely dating.
That's my man. That's my boyfriend.
My man, my man, my man.
So, when are you gonna come to Pilates?
If I come to Pilates, you're not the instructor.
-Take a class. -Don't wanna hear my teacher voice?
Ease me into Pilates.
To me, you're just, like, baby,
and then to them, you're the Pilates instructor. [chuckles]
-Yeah. -I don't want to hear that.
[both laughing]
It was a very, very tough decision for me to decide to say no.
That was probably one of the most difficult decisions
I've ever had to make in my life.
You know, like, I don't want to say yes
to something that I don't feel completely certain about,
but I really appreciate how understanding she's been on that.
-I don't want to hear that. -Wow!
Right after the altar, I moved back to school, I moved back to California.
You know, we definitely both took some time out to just kind of process.
But we still stayed connected.
We started exploring the idea of actually getting back into a relationship again.
And we still found out that we had love for each other,
and we just started building from there.
I don't trust you to, like, not try to go harder on me.
-Well, I know what you need to work on. -Exactly.
That's why I want to do it 'cause I'm like,
I know what I need to see you do.
Okay.
Raven makes me feel unstoppable every time I think about her.
I love her dearly, and I do not want to lose her.
School is kicking my ass, like, big time.
[Raven] I'm really proud of you.
On top of your internship, your full-time job, and being in school,
like, this whole entire year I've never once felt, like, "Ugh. He didn't call me."
-Like, I've never felt like that. -Yeah.
-That's really hard. You know? -It just takes a lot of organization.
-Like, you have to organize yourself. -Yes.
This is the future that we envisioned together,
and I know that doing this will help us get there.
-Aww! -Awwww!

Hi… [laughs]
-Why are we matching? -Wearing pink together, look at that.
-Oh my God. -Let me give you a hug.
Hey. [laughs]
-Is your hair blonde? -It is blonde.
-Changed that up, huh? -Yes.
-I like it, though. -Summer is over.
-So, gotta change the look. -Love that.
That's water, this is old-fashioned.
Old-fashioned? You're on whiskey today?
Um, you know, it's just… take the edge off. [laughs]
Yeah, I know.
[both laughing]
-Cheers. -Cheers.
Um, does your mom and your sister know that, like, we're meeting?
-Did you tell them? -Yeah, I told them we're hanging out.
Does your family know we're meeting? Does Steve know?
They do not.
-They don't? -They actually don't know anything.
So every time I tell you to tell your dad hi, or tell Steve hi,
it just, like, it just doesn't happen.
Hmm… You know, it just kind of gets lost in translation.
That's fair, that's fair, that's fair.
I've seen Nancy frequently over the past year.
Nancy's different than any ex. I've never been engaged before.
I never made it to the altar with any of my exes before.
You know, we get along. It's fun every time we hang out.
So, it makes sense for me to want her in my life.
So, I've always been private
with anything related to my relationships, my finances, my life.
What I do is usually, "Hey, Mom, I'm moving to San Francisco, bye!"
Like, "Do you want to come with me on the road trip?" And she'll come.
No questions asked.
Like, I've always been trusted by my family to do whatever I want to do.
[Bartise] Mm-hm.
So, when I said, "Hey, by the way, like, I'm engaged and, like, I…" You know…
"I'm… I'm gonna get married and, like, have a wedding and so long, like…"
They know me so well, that they were like, "Oh my God, she made the best decision."
"She knows, she has got a good head on her shoulders."
And so, I think, like, our whole day together, that wedding day,
for them, it was very emotional.
Because for them, it was like, "Oh my God."
Like, finally, we get to give my little sister or my only daughter away…
Yeah.
…to this person who she loves,
and who I promised them, like, it's all real.
Like, "I love this person. This is the person I want to be with."
And I say, "Yes."
And then for what happened happened, like, I think for them, it was…
They spoke out on the hurt that I felt that I couldn't say.
You brought me here. You brought your mother here.
This is our decision!
Why would you do all this
to bring us here to waste our motherfucking time with my sister?
I would have never spoken to you that way.
I'm not a fighter. I'm a lover.
-Eww. [laughs] -I say that all the time.
Like, I am not a fighter.
Like, so, for me, it was… Their feelings for you
are much more hateful 'cause they didn't fall in love with you.
That's what that boils down to. I'm not mad at them. Like, I understand the high…
The heightened emotion level, like, their daughter being up there…
In the moment, I was like…
-"What the fuck?" You know? -Of course.
-Now, looking back… -I thought you guys were gonna fight.
Like you said, lover not a fighter.
I'm a lover, not a fighter either. But I was pi… I was sitting there pissed.
-Yeah. -Anyways, we are a year removed from that.
Yeah. Your energy, like, your level of positivity…
Like, I like to be around you, like, you are a good person.
And I think, like, good people are hard to find.
It makes sense to have you in my life.
And I don't think anybody will ever understand that.
I want to be that person that you can call and rely on.
So, like, from here on forward, just like, you let me know what I can do.
-Gimme a fuckin' hug. -You gonna be nice?
-I'm always nice! -Are you gonna be nice?
-I'm nice as they can be. -Okay.
-Are you gonna be nice? -I… Have I not been nice?
Do I need to get my list out of shit you've done here?
-Please do. Show me. -It's empty. There's no list.

Losing my dad at… at 13…
It just felt like I've never had the male perspective on something.
[chuckles] And I also just wanted to know if it was me.
I wanted a male to call me out, be like, "Hey, it's you."
"You're actually seeing things crazy."
It was so much more to unpack.
In hindsight, Cole was just the last thing I tried to put…
[chuckles] …in my little box of, "This is the story of Zay."
I mean, I stand by my decision,
and I stand by everything I said.
But it was a lot to unpack afterwards.
You have disrespected me.
You have single-handedly shattered my self-confidence.
And I hate that you have had that kind of effect on me.
Love shouldn't hurt like this.

and I'm like, "Babe, like, we didn't just put on a ring and I'm, like, yours."
-[Zanab] Yeah. -You have to earn each other every day.
That's what I need. Like, I need to show that you hear what I say,
and now we literally talk about everything.
Or like, you know, having sex, when I say, like,
"Wow, that was really… Like, what you did…"
-Positive reinforcement, baby. -[Alexa] "I really liked that."

-It's long-distance. -Of course.
We're not able to, like, make leaps and bounds.
Yeah.
But it's really brought our communication, our trust,
everything to, like, a new level.
And now we have an apartment together.
-That is cute. -[Colleen] I love that!
Love that.
What is gonna happen? I mean, I don't know.
-Colleen, you have not been sharing. -[Alexa] How are you and Matt?
Okay, so, me and Matt are really good right now.
We were butting heads a lot the first, like, six months
because we're both very stubborn.
So, we kept butting heads, but we would look at it and we'd be like,
"Okay, what are our options here?"
Like, we could either… leave
or we could, like, keep fighting for each other,
and, like, there's a reason we kept coming to each other.
Like, we honestly adore and respect and love each other.
Now we're in, like, an extremely obnoxious, like, honeymoon phase.
Like, up each other's asshole and around the corner.
-You know? -[all laughing]
We don't want to rush it. We don't want to screw it up.
I think that y'all made, like, a really good decision
choosing to live separately, and, like, have your separate lives.
I'm not living with him until he neuters his dog. Did you know this?
He hasn't neutered his dog, so it's just humping--
[Raven] Absolutely not.
Everywhere. Sounds so silly to be, like--
-[Raven] No! -You know?
-Fuck the dog. Like, literally. But, like… -[laughs]
-It's… -[Nancy] Love the dog.
-A wiener in the wiener. -Maybe he is, I don't know.
-But, like, you're his wife, like, it's… -Yeah.
[Zanab] It's Colleen up top, baby.
Yeah, your person is your person.
I didn't know about the wiener dog.
[chuckles] I didn't know that was a thing. A dog?
Like, I'm sorry, but that dog cannot be a priority over your wife, sir.
This is the sausage that I will enjoy for the day.
-[Zanab laughs] -Funny, it's the same size as Bartise.
Shade!
That is a sausage that will not cause you emotional trauma!
Sister! Please give us the tea.
We tried to be friends, right?
-I think for me-- -[Colleen] Did you guys--?
-We never hooked up after. -Okay.
-[Raven] Really? -There was a look. She's like, "I know."
There was one night, things got a little intimate.
And the very next meeting, like, I was sitting on his lap.
And then I realized the next day, "Yeah, Nancy, that is not okay."
That's my biggest, like, fault is that I don't have boundaries
because it was someone that I did love.
You said yes at an altar, and if he had said yes, y'all would be married.
Literally, this conversation would have been very different.
My takeaway is just… do as I do. It's no contact's ideal for me. [laughs]
[Alexa] Yes.
Love the energy.
-[laughs] -Okay, you guys, I'm having a party.
[all cheering]
We love a party!
Oh my God, for what?
My birthday. You know, it's all very exciting.
I'm leaving my golden year.
-It's gonna be cocktail extraordinaire. -Love it.
Huge vibe, huge. You seen my ass? I mean, big.
Hey!
Are you registered anywhere for this party?
I like diamonds. You know, you can get those anywhere.
-[laughing] -[Raven] I love that.
Okay, got you.
We're going to have the best party.
I mean, I want bigger than big.
I want everything very classy, black, sexy, elegant.
-Just, like, a little fun time. -You fancy, girl.
-Yeah. -Yeah, Met Gala fancy.
We've decided, obviously, to invite everybody.
-Cole's gonna be there. -It's fine.
We felt everyone should be invited, and if he comes, he comes.
That was always expected.
I just need you in a dress that shows off your ass and your boobies.
-[Zanab] Promise I won't throw a drink. -[Colleen] What entertainment?
[Alexa] I hired entertainment.
-[Alexa and Raven] Cole. -[all laughing]
A clown! It's a clown.
He's actually doing red flags. So, it's weird.
[Colleen] Cheers to that!
-Cheers to your birthday. -Cheers!
Cheers to you, baby. Yes, yeah.
[upbeat hip-hop music playing]
I'm getting a mimosa.
-Let's do it. -Yeah.
It's too early on a Friday to be drinking anything else.
-[laughs] It's not too early. -[Cole] 11 a.m.
-It's five o'clock somewhere. -It's brunch.
Can we get mimosas?
Thank you.
Life has been good. I've been busy after the wedding.
I wanted to get my mind off of things. So, I really threw myself into work
and got myself as busy as possible.
I'm dating,
"talking to people,"
but, like, I haven't met anyone that I want to be serious with again.
I have been thinking that I want to move
and go to, like, San Diego.
I've been telling you this for a while now.
I just want to be somewhere I can be adventurous.
-Yeah. -That's what we all want.
I want to surf. I want to find, like, a babe in a bikini,
and be like, "Yo, be my wife."
And then… then we're good.
-It sounds very simple, doesn't it? -[Georgina laughs]
You've always wanted someone that's just kind.
Yes.
And then you realize the person is not very kind at the end of the day.
-[emotional music playing] -Yeah.
You know?
Do y'all know that I have not spoken to Zay?
That's crazy. How long's that been, like, a year?
Like, a long time.
I genuinely thought she was going to say yes at the wedding.
And if she wasn't gonna say yes,
we had decided that we were gonna keep dating.
She just…
She totally lied to me. Like, she played… She honestly played me.
We had a serious connection, and a serious love,
and a passionate relationship.
I think that I gave love a hard run with Zanab.
I don't regret the relationship at all.
I just regret the pain that was caused by it.
It was such a traumatizing day.
-[both] Yeah. -That was just…
-It was the grossest thing to go through. -[Georgina] Yeah.
-It was hard to watch. Not gonna lie. -It was.
-You would've never treated her that way. -Hell no!
-If you had the first say. -Hell no! That's what I'm saying.
I know I'm saying this because I haven't talked to her in forever,
and now it's just become almost this, like, weird memory to me.
But I'm like, I am still, to this day, just confused.
Yeah.
Her, like, claim that she thought I was, like, fat-shaming her,
and I was, like, not.
Like, Cuties, you know the little oranges?
[playful pop music playing]
-It's fruit, like-- -That thing has, like, 30 calories, maybe.
It probably makes you skinnier, like a grapefruit or something.
-[chuckles] Yeah. -Celery is like that, yeah.
-She's not fat. -[Georgina] Yeah.
I don't think that.
Like, I don't know if I ever once thought that, ever, in all of life.
You can't win with someone like that.
How does it even make sense? Like, there's no calories in oranges.
I don't know what's in oranges, but it's good for you. It's got vitamins and stuff.
It'll probably make your body happy. I don't know. I don't get it.
I don't get it. I really don't.
And now I get to bring it back out in a week 'cause I'm gonna see her.
Did y'all meet Alexa? Y'all never met Alexa.
-Nope. -No.
Alexa's having a birthday party in a week.
So, is everyone at this birthday party?
Yeah, everyone's coming to the birthday party.
What do you want to say to her when you see her?
I have this one side of me that wants to say hurtful things to her,
but, like, the other 80% of Cole, like, loves Zay.
Because, like, she's a beautiful, amazing person.
But there's the 20% that's like, "If you wanna go, let's just go."
[laughs]
-I'm stressed to see her. I really am. -Well, I'm glad we could help.
-[laughs] -[Cole groans]
Oh my God.
[upbeat pop music playing]
-[Matt] Let's go. Ready? All right. -Blue 82! Blue 82, hut! Hey!
-Why y'all doing shotgun? -I know, right?
[Bartise] Oh! It was down in the ground.
-Can you go higher? We're good. -We're down one.
Just do how y'all normally do it. Just do it to the butts. Get up in there.
-Don't worry about how we normally do it. -Up in the crotch, baby!
[Bartise] Oh shit!
[Matt] All right.
I'm excited to hang out with everyone again.
It's been a while since we've all gotten together and do something as a group,
at least while I was in town.
-Just Dak Prescott that thing, bro. -As fast as you can.
-[Matt] Oh no! -[static hissing]
[Bartise] Ooh! That's an insurance claim right there.
-[SK] Good game, good game. -All right, boys.
We got shots, let's go. We got shots.
-♪ Somebody tell me to go ♪ -[upbeat rock music playing]
-Just like old times. -Let's have a good time.
[Bartise] That'll get the job done. Like it always does.
-[SK laughs] -[Matt] Y'all ready?
-[Bartise] Oh! -[Matt] There he is!
[Brennon] Game over!
[all laughing]
[Brennon] It worked!
[server] Gentlemen, we look like we're ready for some food.
-[Matt] Let's go. -[server] Let's go, skewers.
-[Matt] Onion rings. -[server] Big plate of onion rings.
[Matt] That's a meal right there.
Are these to share or you selfish?
I'm selfish, but you can have some. Only you, though.
If these two take some, I'm gonna Walker, Texas Ranger y'all.
[all laughing]
[Bartise] Missing my boy Cole.
-Is he invited to the party? -[Matt] What's the story there?
Um, I've been told there's an invite sending out, so--
-Okay. -[Matt] Good. How do you feel about that?
-Yeah, I'm not… I'm not a fan. -[Bartise] To each their own.
Anybody can be friends with whoever. I just don't want to be around him.
-Okay. -[Brennon] SK, how y'all been?
You know, I'm on summer break, so I'm back in Texas, uh, for the summer.
Going back and forth is very expensive, I'm not gonna lie.
[Matt] Yeah.
You know, 'cause, like, traveling back and forth for almost a year, bro.
-Yeah. -Um, and we got a place together.
-So, we moved in together. -[Bartise] Nice.
We decorated the place together. Like, it feels really like our home.
I really enjoy just naturally falling in love again. I really enjoy that.
Good, man. I'm happy for you.
That's awesome, dude. Heck of an update right there.
-To me, it feels very natural. -[upbeat music playing]
In the past year, I realized there is a reason why this woman is in my life.
There's a reason why I chose this woman. That has really given us an opportunity
for us to be candid about the things that's working for us
and the things that are not.
That gave us a really solid foundation to start from.
And it's just been very, very exciting
watching our relationship flourish from there.
How are things with you and Nancy? Like…
Lunch yesterday with Nancy, I'm like, "I see why I fell in love with this girl."
-She's frickin' awesome. -[SK] Do you still have feelings for her?
-I don't have any romantic feelings-- -Did you tell her that?
No, I mean, she's… I think she's known that.
Thinking she knows that and telling her, it's two different things though.
I told her no at the altar. I don't know what else I need to say to that.
I'm just saying, having the thought process in the back of your mind,
"Hey, it could maybe happen again."
-"'Cause he hasn't expressly said no." -No.
You see what I'm saying?
I don't think Nancy still has romantic feelings for me.
However, over the course of the past year there was.
I've talked to the other girls about this.
I'm friendly, I'm flirty, and that could be misconstrued as,
"Oh my gosh, I'm interested in you. There's still hope."
In order for us to be friends, then, yeah, that needs to be gone.
I think we can be successful at being friends.
-Do you-- Yeah. -[Bartise] I hope we can, at least.
It all comes down to you guys, man.
If y'all want to be friends, y'all are gonna be friends.
You know what I mean? It's as simple as that, you know?
What about you, man? How's married life been for you, Matty boy?
So, it's been good. Um, we're not living together yet.
-Okay. -[Matt] Um, by choice, strictly.
-[somber music playing] -I mean, I'll fully admit this.
You know, we took a leap. And we're not… we're not ignorant to that.
So, if we wanted to immediately move in with each other,
I would've had to break my lease, spend $5,000 just to move in with her.
I broke mine…
…but again, different.
"Is it worth spending $5,000?"
If y'all don't… If y'all don't wanna live together, it's not…
-No, hold on. -It's not something I would do.
It's not we don't want to live together. I don't want to get that narrative out.
-It's not we don't want to live together. -But you're not.
-[Matt] We're not yet. Timing. -Okay.
We have plans to live together, yes.
-It's been a year though. -[Matt] Yeah, it has been a year.
[Bartise] Outside looking in, it's like,
"Why are they married but not living together?"
-[Matt] Exactly. -But from y'all's specific relationship…
I'm not gonna sit here and judge you guys for not living together
because I don't know what y'all went through.
I believe for us this is the best way to do it for the long term.
This is a commitment that I've made for a lifetime.
For us to really make this work, we had to do it our way.
Going through a divorce myself, you always have the thought,
"Is this real? Is this true? Is it a…?"
"Is it gonna last? How is it all gonna play out?"
It's real easy just to be skeptical, but we did say yes to each other for a reason.
And we got to… got to fight through it.
Are you worried about people questioning whether y'all love each other?
Absolutely not, because I know where we really are.
I know it is very abnormal for us to be married and not live together.
Just because we don't live together, does not mean we love each other any less.

You're welcome.
Okay, leaves.
SK, I cannot believe this is you eating salad.
I love it.
My ways.
It's not bad.
It's really not.

Honestly, when I was coming down, I was a little skeptical about what to expect.

It's not for everybody.
But I'm happy to see, you know, things working out between you guys.
It makes me really happy.
-[chill music playing] -[both chuckling]
[Raven] Aw, thank you.
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
Bro, honestly, Raven looks like she's amazing.
I know I struck gold.
This is the happiest I've ever seen you, bro.
I am happy. The fact that our relationship has stood the last one year
is a big deal for me.
And I feel a lot better about where we're at in our relationship,
and I also think it's very important for me to give her that confidence
that I'm still gonna be here in another year from now.
You know, so, I want her to really feel like she has that commitment.
I feel… I feel that.
I'm actually planning on proposing to her again.
You know, and this time, you know…
Um, when we started this… [laughs]
Bro, wait. Is that why you told me to come down, man?
-So-- -Oh my God, bro.
[SK] I have no doubt in my mind that I love Raven.
And, um, she's been by my side the whole time
and I'm really appreciative of that
because she's someone that I feel like I don't have to second guess.
And that's something I don't want to lose.
-Okay, bro. Oh my God. -We got this.
-We got this. Mm-hm. -All right. Sounds good.
Love is truly blind, man.
Does she have any idea what's going on?
Is she gonna even say yes?
