07x09 - Smashed

[bunniefuu]

[woman] Okay, bring that knee over.

Don't lose it. There you go.

[Jazz] Previously on, I Am Jazz...

My th wedding anniversary is coming up.

A boudoir photoshoot is right up Greg's alley

because he likes women's lingerie.

On me, though.

-Hello! Hi, Cheryl. -Hi!

[Jazz] Cheryl Greene is the director of Welcoming Schools,

which is a program introducing tools to teachers and administrators

on how they could support LGBTQ+ students,

or students with any differences.

[Cheryl] We're in states.

We've impacted almost million students with our training.

I just thought we could collaborate to try to combat bullying in schools.

Absolutely.

-[line ringing] -[Jeanette] Hi.

Hi, so I'm at the grocery store right now and I'm really struggling.

I have a lot going on, you know?

I'm trying to lose weight,

I have an internship, I'm trying to get to college,

and I still haven't heard back from Harvard

about my reacceptance.

And it's nerve-wracking because I just wanna know already, like,

is this the year that I'm going to school or is it not?

[Jeanette] Jazz, you need to take your meds. You gotta get up.

This isn't gonna cut it at Harvard. I'm not gonna be here to get you up.

I am a helicopter mom

and at least Greg and I are around to prevent her from oversleeping.

What's gonna happen when we're not around?

You gotta really consider whether you can even go up to school.

As long as I get off my lazy ass, then...

You keep making empty promises. You're like,

"I got this. I can do this--"

I can tell you that it's different now,

-because it's now or never. -It's not, though.

It's now or never, at this point.

-[Jeanette] Prove it. -Oh, my God. [groans]

[Sander] Griffen!

Where are you?

I was fixing my hair.

Oh, you looking good.

You said it was time to go do a TikTok, so I gotta look good.

Bro, what you doing with a shirt on? You know we don't wear shirts in TikToks.

Is-- What are we doing?

Well, we make videos. We're doing the "Bestie dance."

We've been trying to do this for months!

The "Bestie dance" is a famous dance

in which two people come together and just...

kinda make of fool of themselves.

No, no. You're gonna do ba-ba-ba...

-You want me to drum you? -Yeah, drum.

-That's actually... -You want me to drum your ass?

-Dude, that's how they do it. That's the video. -[Griffen laughs]

Sander's been asking me to make this "Bestie dance" with him all summer.

But I currently have two different law jobs.

And I don't have that much time throughout the day to be creating a video.

-All right, you ready for this? -[Sander] All right.

[music playing]

♪ I got that "ooh," feeling ♪

♪ I got that "ooh," feeling ♪

♪ Taking the sunshine in ♪

♪ Taking the sunshine in ♪

[Sander] As someone who got my master's degree in digital strategy,

a part of my strategy is, I surround all my advocacy content

with fun, family content,

so that when I have a really powerful message,

I have a larger audience to spread it to.

The message of this dance with Griffen,

is just to make people smile.

It's an okay first take.

I did much better than you.

You didn't do your dance moves right.

All right. Here we go again.

Dude! Don't forget the Sprinkler!

I forgot the Sprinkler again.

You not good with the Sprinkler. It's a good move.

Sander's supposed to be the TikTok pro.

Hey!

-That's a take! That's a take! -I still missed one.

-[Griffen] What? -I still missed one.

...so how is Sander unable to do this dance,

while I can do it just fine?

[music playing]

Dun-- Let me go front. Put your foot backwards.

-[in tune] Dun-dun-dun-dun... -I forgot that whole-- We forgot that whole part.

You did, I did it.

I'm starting to get a little bit tired of this process of

redoing the video a million one times,

every time Sander makes a mistake.

Don't forget this one.

-How am I the one teaching you? -All right, here we go again.

-Once you come on here-- -[Griffen] Dude,

you're not respecting my time.

The biggest source of conflict when I come home is that

if you are making a video and you want me in your video,

I need to give you my time, be in the video.

Sander's always focused on social media,

while I'm always focused on writing law and real world issues

that are happening every single day like,

-trans rights being stripped away. -What are you trying to say,

that social media and my advocacy is not real world issues?

No, I'm saying I don't always wanna make the video.

I'm trying to bring in people also that aren't LGBTQ+.

So, in order to get those people, I need to be providing other type of content,

then they are like, "Wait, this is the dude that I loved

watching him do that dance with his brother.

What, what is he talking about now?

Wait, he has a sister? She's trans?

I've never heard a person who's not in the community, talk about this."

And then they start listening. And then, they start hearing.

Everything I'm doing is behind the scenes.

-No one knows what I'm doing. -And that's great.

-No one may ever know what I'm doing. -You each found your thing.

Sometimes I think you just think law is up here and social media just...

it doesn't matter, it doesn't help people, you know, it doesn't matter.

You like to put down what I do

-but you're not even acknowledging... -No.

-...the actual work that I do. -I'm recognizing that what we do are very different.

You cannot help me with my law work.

If you need me for a video, I have to be in your video because...

-But that's not my job! -That's just so stupid.

-But that's not my job! -Can we just stop?

That's what I'm trying to say. My work is not making videos,

-which is what you seem to say every time. -[Ari] Hm...

No, your work that involves me is making videos.

-When you do a video... -[Sander] I'm telling you now, to put--

...and it involves me, you need me and my time to help you with the video.

When I'm working on something with my law stuff,

-I don't need you. -There's a tradeoff like,

I'll pick you up from the airport and give an hour of my time,

-you give me an hour of your time. -Dude...

There's trade-offs and you don't seem to acknowledge that.

I'm sweating. I'm getting bit up by mosquitoes.

I have a long day tomorrow. So...

-So, you don't wanna make another? -Sorry, man.

[Jazz] Wreck it.

Come wreck some [bleep].

Do y'all have dreams? 'Cause today, I'mma be wrecking them.

[all chucking]

[Jazz] My family's pretty adventurous.

And we genuinely like hanging out with each other.

-Hello, hello. -[receptionist] Hi, guys.

-Hey, how you doing? -Hey, how are you?

[Jazz] So, we are at Wreck it today,

just to try something fun and new that we've never done before.

[receptionist] You guys ready to break some stuff?

-We are. -I'm down.

-So, I'm gonna go grab your suits and masks, okay? -[Jeanette] Okay.

-[Griffen] Thank you. -[Jazz] Perfect, thank you.

Crush, crush, madness. Wreck it.

I think Ari would be happy to be here right now,

-wrecking stuff with us. -Aw, yeah.

She's missing out a little bit.

[Greg] Ari left for Arkansas this morning.

She's getting her master's,

-and now going for a PhD. -Getting accepted...

We're really proud of her. She's done great things.

[Jeanette] Did you hear about the gift?

-What gift? -That Ari gave us?

-[Jazz] No, what gift? -Tell 'em.

Ari came into our room the other night,

and she gave us a picture of me and mom

on the day that I proposed to mom.

-And isn't it almost your anniversary too? -[Greg] It is.

-Yeah. -And I got a trick up my sleeve for a surprise for mom.

-[Jazz] Oh, no. -Ooh, you didn't tell me--

-She's actually looking up his sleeve. -[chuckling]

-Like what? -Oh...

-Don't you wanna know. -What kind of surprise?

-Do I get dressed up? -You're gonna be like, looking around.

-I know you're gonna start looking at emails... -Mm-hm.

-...you're gonna start looking at letters. -Is it blingy?

I'm not gonna tell you.

Hm.

-All right, guys. -[Jeanette laughing]

-[Jazz] Yes! -They fit a little big.

-So, let me know if you need any... -[Jazz] Need the biggest one.

-[Sander] Here, how're you feeling? -I'm ready to wreck it.

[Jeanette] Gonna be a little tight but it'll go.

Destroy, build, destroy!

[receptionist] All right. Is everybody ready to break some stuff?

-Feeling good? -Yes, I'm ready.

All right, let's do it.

[Jazz] I find out Harvard's decision about me going to school this fall

two weeks before move in date.

It's a little bit, you know, out there.

I was hoping that they were gonna tell me sooner

but this is what it is.

So, this Wreck It place is an opportunity for me to get that stress out

and just throw things, smash things,

and just release all of this ugh, anxiety and energy of waiting.

[Greg and Jazz] Three, two, one...

[all exclaim]

[Jeanette] One, two, three.

Whoa, that felt good.

All I know is that I kinda wanna peg some of these at the wall.

It's really nerve-racking that

the whole family still doesn't know if Jazz is gonna go to Harvard yet this year.

I feel like Harvard's just like, leaving us all with blue balls here.

Just like, the decision is...

Like we feel like it's coming on,

and it's just like, "Nope."

But we have to respect it. You know?

Uh...

I'm not even gonna go with your analogy.

I don't wanna do that.

I don't wanna talk about blue balls on TV.

This one is all the stress that's been building up

this past year in law school, guys.

Going straight for the middle.

And I missed. [laughs]

-What makes you angry? -I hate when you guys bicker.

-The little nitpicky bickering. -For all the times that

we've bickered over food.

Everybody love everybody!

[Jeanette] Nice!

-[Sander] Yeah! Yeah. -[Jeanette] My turn.

[Greg] All [bleep].

[Sander shouting] Yeah!

-[Jeanette] Ah! Whoo! -[Griffen] Oh, my goodness.

[Jeanette] This is for everybody that talked crap behind our backs.

You ready? One, two...

-[Greg laughs] -[Jeanette] I wanna do that again.

I have no upper body strength whatsoever. It's pathetic.

So, I'm not surprised that I couldn't break a plate on a wall.

Like, if I was in the water and had to pull myself up into a boat,

-I'd drown. -[laughs]

-[Greg] All right. That was fun. -[Jeanette] Yeah.

-[Sander] Come on, mom. -[Jeanette] I'll be right there.

Mm-hm.

[sighs] Forget it.

I'm really crossing my fingers that it goes really smoothly.

I have a call with Harvard

to make sure that I've done everything I need to do.

-How did your Zoom go? -There were concerns.

[Jeanette] It's not like there's a plan B.

It's college or no college.

-It's pretty stressful. -Very stressful.

[beeping]

Hi, Carlos. How are you?

Great. It's good to see you all.

-Good to see you too. -You as well. How is everything?

Everything's great. I'm super excited that we're chatting today.

Carlos Guillermo Smith is one of the state representatives of Florida.

And we were able to organize a meeting

to, hopefully, present an idea for a bill.

So, we're recently talked to Cheryl Greene,

who's the director of Welcoming Schools,

at the Human Rights campaign.

Yeah, and we were just thinking about the Welcoming Schools program should be

federally mandated that all teachers

have to learn how to be welcoming towards kids who are, you know, different.

[Griffen] That the teachers are informed about how to be welcoming and affirming,

so that they can trickle it down to the students.

I just never wanna see another student

have to be bullied or harassed the way I saw Jazz bullied and harassed.

[Jazz] That's me swimming and it has comments.

"Someone please sh**t it.

If not, I'm going to k*ll it myself and make it die a horrible, painful death."

Did he just say...

And so far, Welcoming Schools has reached states, which is amazing.

-Amazing. -But it should be states.

So, does it start with a federal bill and then a state bill?

Or that a state bill would come first and then a federal bill?

I would make the argument that we need a state law

and a federal law.

We need several layers of protection.

Then, you've gotta work with either a state representative,

-and I would love to work with you on a state bill certainly. -[Jazz chuckles]

[Carlos] Or a member of Congress

who would be ready to partner with us in this work.

Jazz actually came up with a name for this bill. You wanna share it?

Yeah. The "Be Kind" bill.

Do you like that?

-Oh, I love that. -[Jazz] It's cute, right?

And of course, we can change it if we need to.

I don't think if you're a liberal or conservative, how can you possibly

-vote no to being kind? Right? -Being kind, yeah.

[Carlos] Look, obviously, the reality is, is that

for a bill to become a law,

a lot of times it not gonna happen overnight.

It's gonna happen when folks like you stay committed

to the work, that we don't give up,

-that we keep pushing forward... -[Jazz] Yeah.

...to advance equality and acceptance and love for all people.

-So, I applaud what you're doing. -[Jazz] Yep.

-Thank you again. -Thank you so much.

And we look forward to talking to you soon to continue working on this.

Thank you all.

[Jazz] Have a great rest of your day.

-You too, take care. -Bye!

-[Griffen sighs] -[Jazz] That went well.

I think so.

[Jazz] Representative Smith is really inspiring.

He really makes Griffen and me feel like

we could do this and we could really get a bill passed

that will help so many LGBTQ youth out there.

It's just gonna take work.

We're gonna need to stay in contact with Mr. Guillermo Smith.

-[Jazz] Yeah. -'Cause it sounds like he has the connections for us.

I think he might be able to help us get that meeting on Capitol Hill.

-[Jazz] Yeah. -But the thing about it is,

everyone does support being kind.

But a lot of people don't support being kind

on gender identity and sexual orientation.

The only way to really change those perspectives is

through social media.

[Griffen] Well, you can't pass a federal bill through social media.

We're dreaming big here. We're not just trying to create videos.

We're trying to create lasting change and the only way to do that

is to pass some sort of federal bill.

You need to get people understanding

what sexual orientation and gender identity is.

That is what HRC is doing. That is what Welcoming Schools is.

They have reached million students.

million students.

[Sander] Between Jazz and I on just one social media application,

we've reached a million people through shortform video and that's just us.

We just don't fully see eye to eye on what I do each and every day

for my career, whether it be creating videos or my marketing work.

But even if you don't fully understand,

I never have once put down your law work.

And you do put down my work.

-Not true. -Okay.

What's going on here?

I'm just getting some clothes out and prepared for school.

-Some of the things that I wanna wear. -Mm-hm.

[Jazz] This one's nice.

Is that all appropriate stuff for school?

[Jazz] Yeah, for sure.

I'm excited for Harvard.

Even though I haven't officially been readmitted yet.

I've been waiting for the opportunity to just kind of

turn the page of one chapter and begin anew on a blank page and

I'm really excited to have the opportunity and freedom to be able to

be on my own and do things on my own for the first time.

And I really do think it's gonna be a fresh start for me.

And that's what I really need.

Oh!

Oh, no, no, no, no, girl.

-[Jazz] What? -Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

-This dress is special to me. -[Jeanette] No, no, no.

Jazz, it has holes in it everywhere.

But i wear a bra with it.

-Can I just wear it as pajamas? -You've been wearing it--

No, I'll get you some pajamas.

-You've been wearing this since you were years old. -But that's the comfiest

and that's the comfiest dress ever. It's so amazing.

Yeah, but this is five years old. It has holes in it.

Some of Jazz's tie-dye dresses go back to medieval times.

They are so freaking old.

And oh, look. Come on, Jazz.

Okay, I'll wear it as like,

casual around the dorm.

But you'd have to put leggings with it. Otherwise...

Mom, you can't dictate my life. You can't tell me what I can and can't wear.

I'm ready to be on my own.

However, my mom is still all over my case.

Do you have one jacket?

-[Jazz] Here. -Do you have a single jacket?

At least one.

[Jazz] I have exactly one jacket.

And it's lovely.

I'm like, "Girl, these are my clothes.

I'm the one who's gonna be wearing them.

Like, let me choose."

Look, I am ready to be independent.

I was thinking about it...

[Jeanette] I'm definitely gonna stay up there for a while, you know.

-No, you're not gonna stay up there for too long. -[Jeanette] I am.

I have a one way ticket.

Jazz has been through so much in the last two years.

Most people do not know 'cause they were not here.

I had a front row seat. I held her hand.

I was here through some of the most terrible times of her life.

So, I'm going to Boston on a one way ticket

to make sure she's okay.

And I'm gonna be there as long as it's necessary.

How do you feel about your phone call coming up

with the Harvard person who...

I really think that I've been doing everything I need to do.

I've been working hard, I'm mentally stable. I mean,

the only thing I'm struggling with is weight really.

And the weight doesn't directly correspond with,

if I can or can't go to Harvard, you know?

-In terms of what I need for Harvard, I think I'm there. -Don't discuss that.

[Jazz] I have a call with Harvard

to make sure that everything is in perfect order.

And that I've done everything I need to do.

And then, they decide if I'm ready to go to school or not.

I'm really crossing my fingers that it goes really smoothly.

I'm gonna articulate myself and I'm gonna sell myself a little bit

because, look, I'm ready for school.

'Cause I know I'm ready. I've been dying to be independent.

I love you but I need to get away.

I just want my mom to have something else on the side

to keep busy.

And then, I get to live my own life.

What are we doing here?

I am in my brand new, sexy high heel shoes

thinking I'm getting some kind of romantic outing

and there's no romance at a place like this.

Oh, God.

-[Jeanette] Ooh, fancy. -Thank you.

I don't know if you know but choco monk

is my favorite drink in the whole world.

When I was a little kid, my dad would make

choco monk in a sippy cup in the middle of the night,

he would leave it outside his door,

and I would just wake up and go to the door and drink the choco monk

and go back to bed.

-I was like little trained dog -That's why you wouldn't wake him up though.

It's for selfish reasons.

[Jazz] Love it.

Wow.

-Yeah? -[Kryss] Good wow?

-Really good. I haven't had a drink this good in a while. -[Kryss chuckles]

[Jazz] I don't want my mom to helicopter over me when I go to college.

I don't want her to worry about me. I want her to know that

I'm thriving and doing great.

So, I asked Kryss to help me convince my mom that she need to keep busy,

have fun things to do, and I just want her not on my case all the time.

There's a reason why Kryss and I wanted to go out to lunch with you.

Um, we've been thinking about how me going off to school

is gonna leave you alone at home,

and you're not gonna have a lot to do to occupy your time.

'Cause dad doesn't count, right?

-Well, you'll be with dad... -[Kryss] Yes, but he's working

-and doing things. -[Jazz] He's working and doing things.

I know I feel ready to be independent and on my own,

but I don't know if you're as ready, to be honest.

You want me to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning?

-[Kryss] Yes. -Yeah, we want you to feel motivated everyday

and productive.

I guess nobody remembers the fact that, um,

having four kids for the last years has been a lot of work.

I had four kids in four and a half years and I have not stopped since.

So, it'll be nice for me to finally get a break.

So, Kryss and I were thinking that you could do something

to raise money for the TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation.

After appearing on with Barbara Walters,back in ,

my family created an organization called

the TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation

which aims to support gender non-conforming youth and families.

Uh, one way I was thinking that we could raise funds for the foundation

is selling tie-dye dresses.

So, I think it would be a great way for you to keep busy.

-A great way to h-- -I don't know anything about the clothing business.

Well, I mean, to start off we can make them by hand by ourselves.

-That would be fun to kind of tie-dye together. -[sighs]

Can we get you on board a little bit even?

-[Jazz] Yeah, I mean... -I just don't know how to do it.

-Come on, mom. I think it's a great idea. -I have to think about this.

[Jazz] I think you would really enjoy it.

You are a fashionista.

-Yes, I know. -Look at this top you're wearing, it's beautiful.

So many people would buy that top.

Yeah, but this is not a tie-dye top.

Let's just do a trial run.

A trial. But I'm not a percent sold

on the fact that we can do this.

[Jazz] I'm just happy that she agreed to a trial run.

Hopefully, she'll enjoy the process of making tie-dye dresses and

the trial run will be successful and she'll continue doing it

and she won't be spending additional time up in Boston.

All right, mom, cheers to your future.

Okay, whatever you say.

[Greg] Do you have any idea where we're going?

[Jeanette] Nope. Do you?

This is a surprise for you and it's befitting our th anniversary.

Oh, so it has a two and an eight in it?

-It has some definite nostalgia relation. -Ooh.

Is it something romantic?

-Everything we do is romantic. -Not really. Not...

Not when I'm farting and burping.

Well, that's your issue.

-If you wanna address that. -Yeah, 'cause you never do that.

[Greg] All right, well, this is my gift for you.

-This will be a surprise. I think you're gonna enjoy it. -[Jeanette] Okay.

Not as much as you're gonna enjoy my gift.

I've got something up my sleeve.

-Give me your Marylin Monroe "Happy Anniversary". -Okay.

♪ Happy anniversary ♪

♪ To you Happy anniversary... ♪

You're laughing at me.

[Jeanette] Planet Air? I'm not jumping up and down.

Is that what we're doing, really?

Look what I'm wearing.

-[Jeanette groans] -[Greg] You know how we've always talked about skydiving?

-[Jeanette] Oh, no, no, no. -[Greg] Come on, we're gonna

-hold hands in midair. -[Jeanette] This is not romantic, no.

[Greg] You could do it, Jeanette.

I cannot imagine. I'm dressed to the nines.

What are we doing here?

I am in my brand new like, sexy high heel shoes

thinking I'm getting some kind of romantic outing,

and he's got me at like, a child's indoor-outdoor fun center.

-Play a little air hockey? -No, thank you.

There's no romance in a place like this.

-You wanna zipline? -[Jeanette] Uh...

Not in this outfit.

-[Jazz] There they come! Hi! -[Jeanette] Hi!

-Hello! -Hi!

[Jazz] Welcome to Steamboat Springs.

-[Jazz] Welcome to Steamboat Springs. -[Sander] Welcome to Colorado.

[Jazz] So, my dad actually proposed to my mom on a ski lift in Steamboat Springs

so, we're trying to recreate that moment by doing indoor skiing at Planet Air.

-This is a surprise. You gotta open it. -Okay.

-[Jazz] I wanna see. -Oh, my ski jacket!

Yeah!

When I see that we're going skiing and it's reenacting our proposal day,

I think it's genius.

-Just so that you don't forget. -Ah! I know what you're doing.

-[Greg] I still got it. Ta-da! -[Jeanette] Ah my younger self.

-Look! -[Jazz] Whoa!

Feel those abs, mom. He's still got it.

-Look how cute. -[Jazz] Whoa.

Why do we have that t-shirt?

I made up t-shirts of the two of us saying, "Just Married," with our faces

and I thought maybe if, you know, the flight attendant saw it, they might

give us some freebies or put us in a better seat.

Looking for an upgrade.

Well, we don't have a chairlift but we do have some chairs!

Let's see what your proposal looked like.

We're gonna recreate the chairlift.

We're back in time,

brr, brr,

back in Steamboat Springs in , and it was March.

I said something to the effect of, "Boy, look at the snow.

It's glistening like diamonds.

-Will you marry me?" -[Jazz chuckling]

And I said, "Yes! I will." And then, we kissed.

[Sander] Wait, you didn't get on a knee?

How could I? I'm on a chairlift.

[Jeanette] And then he went to get the ring.

-Show... -Oh, no. We lost the ring!

-You lost the ring? Ah. -No, I'm just kidding. I didn't have the ring with me.

-Face reaction. -Yes, the answer is yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

Then you had four babies.

[Sander] Whoa! Look! It looks like it's time to go skiing.

-It's the best you can do. -[Jeanette] I'm excited. It's been so long.

-[man] Oof. [groans] -Oh, okay. Now, I'm not going.

He just wiped out.

-So, I'm gonna help you guys figure how to do this. -[Jeanette] Okay.

-Okay. -I'mma explain how to do this here.

But I'm gonna put your shoes on here first and give you your skis...

And how do we avoid doing what you just did, 'cause I don't know if we could

trust your advice after what just happened.

Don't do what I do.

My momma can't get hurt out here. It's her anniversary.

-Listen to what I say, but don't do what I do. -[Sander] Okay.

-You hear that, mom? You'll be okay. -Okay. Okay.

I'm gonna get to show my kids what I got.

Like, here's my sport.

I always said skiing and swimming are the two things mommy can do well.

-[man] All right. Three, two, one. -Start 'em up.

[Jeanette] Oh...

[Greg] How do I get to her?

-I'm going down. -Oh, no!

[all laughing]

That didn't take long.

-[Greg] I'm coming, honey! -Oh, my skis crossed!

-[all laughing] -[Jeanette laughing] Shut up!

-I knew I was-- -[clamoring]

[Sander] Mom, you're on video!

-I got you on video. -I felt it.

-[Greg] You okay? -I'm fine. I lost my balance.

-I have no balance anymore. -[Greg laughs]

I didn't even get started and I fell.

-You were like, "Mm...Timber!" -Well, you know what, like,

it was getting a feel for it,

and this thing was moving pretty fast.

-Now, hold my hand. We'll go down together, ready? -Okay.

Let's go.

-Come this way. You got it. -No.

-This way. -No!

-[both exclaiming] -I got you.

-[Greg] There you go. -[Jeanette chuckling]

That was fun.

-You're my favorite ski bunny. -I wish I had... Aw, muah.

Mr. Greg is perfect.

I think I'll marry him.

He looked good. He looked hot out there.

Phew!

-All right, it's our turn. -All right, our turn!

Our turn.

I'm the only one in my family that has never gone skiing.

So, I don't know what to expect.

You don't feel good about this?

-No. -Skiing is nerve-racking.

Well, I just... My calves are...

-I don't know. I'm a little... -[Sander] Yeah, it's uncomfortable.

[man] And keep your feet straight.

You wanna have your knees a little bent,

and you kind of wanna sit down a little bit.

You're gonna be like this,

-[Jazz] Okay. -Like, 'cause you're leaning forward right now...

-Jazz is so scared. -...so you wanna lean back a little bit.

-It's better to have you leaning back, not forward? -[man] Exact-- yeah.

-So, Jazz, lean back a little. -Okay.

[man] Three, two, one.

Ah! [groans]

[Griffen] Wait, guys. He said hold on.

-Are you okay? -[man] You okay?

[Griffen] Oh, Jazz.

-Are you good? -Jazz?

I'm thinking, "Did she get a concussion?" Like, what happened?

Like, she really slammed down.

Jazz, you all right?

-[Jeanette] Are you okay? -[man] You okay?

-[Griffen] Oh, Jazz. Are you good? -Jazz?

[Greg] Jazz, you all right?

[Jazz] I'm not-- Yeah. I'm just into doing this.

-[Sander] How'd that happen? -[man] You want a hand?

I don't feel good.

Can we take these off?

-[man] You wanna get off? -[Jazz] Yeah.

-[Sander] Did you hit your head? -[Jazz] Yeah, I hit my head.

I had a bad feeling about it. I was gonna say I didn't wanna do it.

All right, come over here and give me a hug, baby girl.

[Greg] It's no biggie. You've never skied before.

Old Jazz would've cried in a ball in the corner and would've been like,

[mocking] "Oh, I wasn't perfect.

Ooh, I suck. I suck." Blah, blah, blah.

But I think new Jazz has evolved a little bit and is able to say like, "It's okay.

This happens."

-Go Griffen, go Griffen! -Yeah, Griffen's going backwards.

[Jazz] I will say, I will try real skiing one day

because I'd much rather fall on the snow,

than on whatever that carpet thing was.

[Jeanette] Griffen's more confident at skiing than Sander.

[Sander] Whoa.

-[Greg] I bet Sander's going down. Oh! -[laughing]

The split. The split-ski.

[Griffen] Hey, man. How's the view down there?

-Me. -[scoffs]

-Griffen! -Ah... [exclaiming]

I'm still up!

Evidence shows that I'm a better skier than you.

I didn't fall today. Did you?

[Sander] He sounds like a terrible lawyer.

Someone take away his, uh... his law review.

[whispering] "Law review."

You know, we tried to emulate Steamboat, it wasn't exactly Steamboat but...

it was close.

[Jeanette] All right, so... [laughing] You guys, close your eyes.

Honestly, I have this gift for Greg and I did not have a choice

as to where to give it to him because

you took me to a place with a million screaming children everywhere.

Okay.

There you go.

Oh, my God.

-[laughing] -That's mom?

[Greg] Hubba, hubba.

[Jeanette] That's the G-rated one.

[all laughing]

Should we turn away? 'Cause I don't know if I wanna see this anymore.

-What are those called? What's the word? -Boudoir.

-Spell that for me. -I'm not French.

-Origin? Oh, French. Yeah. -Google it.

-Boudoir. -What's the definition?

Um, "a woman's bedroom or private room."

Nothing private about my boudoir.

-What the... -[Jeanette laughing]

Women, we're out of here.

I wasn't looking.

Not looking.

-I'll tell you all about it later. -I'm not sure how I feel about

people taking photos like that of you.

[Jeanette] [singsong] It's time to tie-dye.

-We're wearing tie-dye to tie-dye. -Tie-dye to tie-dye.

Although yours is a clean tie-dye shirt, and mine is a dirty tie-dye shirt.

So, today we are making tie-dye dresses

for the TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation.

And I'm really, really hoping this works out

because my mom needs something to do while I go off to school

and I don't want her to be on my case constantly

while I'm trying to enjoy my free life as a college student.

-Do you need help? -Yeah, I do.

[chuckling] I brought things. Please help me.

[Jazz] And I think this is gonna be a really good distraction

from my petition to return.

I just wanna enjoy the present moment.

It was lightning so bad on the way over here.

So, it made me a few minutes late.

Does that mean we can't really do this outside right now?

Yeah, I'm not getting electrocuted.

-I'm not letting you and I'm not letting my baby-- -Then how're we gonna tie-dye?

-Uh, this rug has... -[Kryss] Yeah?

...everything living in it. You wouldn't know 'cause it's all...

-There's toenails, boogers, all sorts of [bleep]. -[Jeanette] No, seriously.

-Yeah. -But we'll cover everything over.

-We'll just cover it over. -All right.

This is a little test to see if this is something that I would do without them.

Sander, Griffen, come down! Kryss is here.

It's already raining, so it's already one strike against it. But, um, let's see.

I'm not thrilled about it but I'm gonna be a good sport.

All right, so we need to take all of the dresses

and take them out of all the plastic. They're behind you.

I really want the dresses to turn out and be this amazing moment

and this great-- Jazz and I get to be like,

"Hey, Jeanette, look how great this is. We should keep doing this."

There's about a percent chance that'll happen.

There's about a percent chance it won't happen.

I'm bad at math, but I might be worse at tie-dyeing.

Put your fingers on top, people. Like this.

-Shake, shake. -[Kryss] So that everything... Yep.

-[Jazz] So, I think we're almost ready to begin, no? -[Kryss] Yep.

[Sander] I want you to pick those up.

And I wanna place them down, like, right here.

I don't wanna like, get a time-lapse of us placing these down.

So, I need you to replace these. Get them in one hand...

-and then go, and then go get another one. -Have Griffen do this,

'cause I don't want them to get my hands dirty.

We're making these tie-dye dresses, but we also want

to try to sell and raise money from these tie-dye dresses.

That's my specialty.

I want you to like, come in from out of, like... be standing and do it.

[Jazz] Wash your hands first.

[Jeanette] What are you touching that's getting you blue?

[Sander] Wait, I don't want these plates yet.

-Sander... -Sander, we gotta keep moving, buddy.

-We gotta move... -Okay, well, we're not gonna get this cool sh*t, then.

[Jeanette] Just get that sh*t.

[Sander] I have raised over $, over the past few years

for different causes and charities through the power of digital marketing

and I know that with this dress, we could do the same.

-Hey, mom. Let me get a video of you mixing this. -Sander, you're k*lling us.

[Sander] Wait, and don't do that yet.

I need a line, "We're mixing the soda-ash in water."

[Jeanette in mocking tone] We're mixing the soda-ash in water.

-Yeah. Okay. -[Sander] Okay, great.

Sander is, you know, definitely directing the show a bit.

He wants to get the right sh*ts. I get it.

Tell me what you're doing while you do it again.

[Jeanette] But he's getting on everybody's nerves,

he does that sometimes when he's filming.

We need to film an intro for this promotional video.

I don't wanna be here all night.

[Jazz] Sander is kind of being a little intrusive and getting in our faces a little bit.

He's having us move things and redo things just for his cinematic sh*t.

It's kind of annoying.

-[Jeanette] All right, here we go. -All right. I started!

[Jeanette] Be very gentle and careful.

-[Jazz] Oh Griffen, you're not supposed to do it like that. -[Kryss] It doesn't matter.

-You do any way you want. -Excuse you?

-Are you telling me that the way I do it, is wrong? -[Jazz] Yeah.

You can screw up tie-dye.

Wow, my legs feel a little sticky.

-Is that from that stuff? -Oh, might be, yeah.

-[Jazz] This is fun. -[Kryss] It is fun. I love doing this.

-Like, this is the best part. Getting to color-- -[Jeanette] I know.

[Griffen] Mom, this stuff stains.

-[Kryss] Uh-huh. -[Jeanette] Is it staining my countertops?

-Uh, as far as I see... -[Kryss] No!

...I see blue still and I just cleaned it off.

-Sander, I don't care about this right now. -Why would you share that?

I care more about my kitchen. I'm sorry.

Let me be in the kitchen.

-You guys do your thing, all right? -It's only right here.

Well, there too? I'm gonna go cry.

Oh, my God, there's more blue over here.

-You guys just go. -I don't see it anymore, mom. It works.

-Not really. -Yeah, this stuff does work.

There's still some tinges.

-[Griffen] I think it's out. -It's gonna be blue forever.

Just go away. All of you, go away.

The tie-dye was to stay in the family room.

This stuff will stain.

And there's blue, and then, there's more blue,

and I'm literally ready to have a nervous breakdown.

I am freaking pissed, finished. I'm done.

Just go away.

[groans]

[Sander] Wait, Jazz, I wanna get a sh*t of all the dresses on the fence.

[Jazz] Sander, you're interrupting the process.

[Sander] What am I supposed to do?

We're making a promo video, Jazz.

I'm going out of my way giving out my time

and I shouldn't be put down for it.

This is not right.

[Jeanette] So, these are all rinsed out already.

-Ooh. -Those two are not.

-Okay. -I can turn on two hoses and one person could do one,

-and one could do the other. -I think we should just do one hose.

Okay, can you-- Okay, hold this.

I don't want to do it. She's gonna get it all over me.

Yesterday, I was losing it.

This is my advice, America, whomever is listening,

do not tie-dye inside the house.

Stupid idea, bad idea, worst idea.

Wait, do not get me wet. I'm going real close.

-[Jazz] Oh, look at the blue. -[Kryss] Yeah, the blue takes longer to come out.

[Jeanette] But it's for a good cause and I wanted to be a good sport.

So, I kept my peace.

Griffen, do you need me to soak that one?

-Yeah. -[Jazz] Okay, let's do it.

It's the moment of truth to unveil the tie-dye dresses

and I'm super excited to see the final result.

Can you film some B-roll?

[Jazz] What? Whatever, here.

Sander is filming everything, which can be annoying, you know?

I just wanna be in the moment and he's kinda taking it away with his videotaping.

Let Sander film what he wants to film.

'Cause he always has to film.

No, it's for everyone. I'm trying to help raise money for charity.

I never said it wasn't for everyone.

[Sander] These dresses aren't going to sell themselves.

We need to have some sort of plan for selling them.

And that's what I'm working on.

-[Jeanette and Kryss] Ooh! -[Jeanette] That's like, very subtle.

-[Kryss] Yes. -[Jazz] Oh, I like it.

That's unique.

[Sander] Also, who's gonna edit the video? Me.

I'm not getting anything out of this.

-[gasps] Wow. -Wow!

-That is amazing. -[Griffen] Now, that is how it's supposed to look.

-I did this one. -That's amazing.

-That's amazing. -That's an eight.

[Jazz] I actually kind of wanna keep this. [chuckles]

-Uh... -Uh, well...

-So, you tried to do what Jazz did? [laughs] -[Jeanette] Yeah. [laughs]

-[Kryss] Check it. -[Jazz] That's a pocket.

-Ooh, the circle in the middle. -Oh, I see.

The tie-dye dresses are adorable. They look great.

And I hope we can raise money for the foundation.

But to be honest, the stress it gave me

over the kitchen, I don't know if it was worth it.

And I don't wanna be the tie-dye factory lady.

So, I don't know that I'll be doing this again.

-If we sell different ones... -Oh, Jazz, I wanna get different sh*t of all the--

I wanna get a sh*t of all the dresses on the fence.

[Jazz] Sander, you're interrupting the process.

[Sander] What am I supposed to do?

We're making a promo video, Jazz.

-I can't do this, bro. -All right.

Jazz, I don't get anything out of this. I'm promoting charity.

-I'm trying to help us get good videos... -[Jazz] Sander, I know!

Don't give me slack.

Jazz gets a little angry at me and I'm like,

I need to capture the view in order for people to understand

kind of the whole progression of this dress.

I'm going out of my way, giving out my time

and I shouldn't be put down for it.

I don't think my family appreciates the work that I do.

And it really sucks. This is not right.

-Let's go inside, guys. -Listen, they gotta...

[Sander] Someone get those. I'm gonna bring these inside, all right?

[Kryss] Nemo's spraying. Nemo's spraying.

[all exclaiming] Oh!

-Not on the dresses! -Just in time.

-Oh, my God! I don't think I've ever seen it like that. -Nemo!

-That's gross. -[Kryss] It smells so bad.

-Oh, God. -Oh!

-[Griffen] He's still going! -[all laughing]

Oh, it smells so bad.

-[Jazz] Too much. Okay. -[Griffen] Oh, my God. Ew!

I got this cat fixed.

They're not supposed to do that when they're fixed.

He's seven years old.

Like, did they forget to take out a piece of his ball

that they left that he's spraying? I don't know!

I think you're perfect just the way you are, Nemo.

[Jeanette] Nemo.

-♪ Anticipation. ♪ -I'm very impatient.

I'm kind of nervous.

And she scheduled this call, or Zoom, with Harvard about two months ago.

So, it's been all this buildup.

So hopefully, they'll be like, "Yeah, you got everything in that you need.

And you're good." And just has to go to the board.

-[Greg chuckles] -That'll be nice.

When in our lives has anything gone that smoothly

-and that simply? -Never.

As far as I know, Jazz has done everything she needs to do to go back to school.

So, I should be confident knowing that she's met the requirements.

But I'm definitely on pins and needles.

[Jazz sighs]

[Greg] Where you going, Jazz?

I'm just gonna grab some medicine real quick.

-[Jeanette] Are you okay? -[Jazz] I have heartburn. I need to get some Tums.

Being on a Zoom call with Harvard could give anybody heartburn.

How did your Zoom go?

[Jazz sighs]

For the most part, I'm on track with everything that I'm doing and,

um, she seems impressed and happy with the progress that I've made.

But there were concerns.

I need to establish a clinical team up there.

So, I need to transition from my current doctors,

to new set of therapists, psychiatrists and case manager.

-And they want all of that in place before you even go? -Yes.

They have an Ad board meeting coming up in a week,

and during that meeting they'll assess everything that I've submitted,

everything that I've done.

And they will decide if I'm able to attend this year or not.

That was never on the list.

-Yeah, I know. Yeah. -And now they're like do it right away and...

We worked hard as a family to get Jazz

with the right medical team down here in Florida.

Now, we have to start from scratch on a team up in Boston

in a very short period of time.

-It's pretty stressful. -Very stressful.

Sometimes you have to wait for months to get into a doctor.

-You know what I'm saying? -[Jazz] I know.

So, we have to start making phone calls.

We have to start making some phone calls right now.

Honestly, I'm pretty upset about finding out this information so late

because it's really difficult to build a whole new team.

It takes time and I would be devastated if I miss the opportunity

to go to school because I didn't put a clinical team together in time.

Part of me is still worried that they're gonna

review my information and deny me.

They can dictate the course of the rest of my life

by what they decide.

Oh.

[Jazz] That's stressing me out, yeah.

It would just be devastating.

[Jeanette] It's not like there's a plan B.

It's college or no college.

-So, it's all in their hands. We're like, helpless. -So, we just have to wait.

[Jeanette] We have no say.

I just... I hate the pressure.

[all shouting] We're in Washington DC!

[Jazz] Next time on I am Jazz...

-I'm not going on that, am i? -[Greg] Oh, yeah.

Whoo!

I'm just glad, with this harness, that I don't have a penis anymore.

-Look, "Girlhood, it's complicated." -Yeah.

[Jazz] One day my mom got an email from the Smithsonian

saying that they wanna feature me in one of their exhibits.

And the second we heard that, we're like, "Holy crap."

Like, this is a huge deal.

-Ooh! -Oh, my God!

-It just makes me really emotional. -[Jazz] Aw.

[moans]

I want to scream and jump in the air and back in the video,

Jazz, don't turn away...

Even when you're just, like, having family time,

you're still floating that camera in our faces.

[Sander] I try to ignore the comments,

but sometimes, they get to me.

I'm not getting the validation from the people that I love most.

I'm doing everything...

-that make me, me. -Come here and bring it in.

I'm about to check my emails to see if I got a message from

Harvard about my enrolment.

To get a "no" from Harvard,

like, "Jazz is not ready, come back next year,"

would be utter devastation.
