26x05 - Over the Rainbow

[bunniefuu]

- Previously onthe real world.

♪ I wanna kiss, kiss, kiss you all over... ♪

- Regarding ashley and I hooking up,

You never know what's gonna happen.

- [Doorbell ringing] - is it locked?

- Hi. We're having sex.

- Oh, my god. - Oh, god.

- We got to change roommates.

- I just feel sick.

- This the true story...

- [Laughter] - of seven strangers.

- It's the greatest idea ever.

- Picked to live in a house...

- Don't tell me what to do.

- Work together...

- Don't worry.

- And have their lives taped.

- The house is on fire.

- Find out what happens...

- You guys are so gross.

- Wow.

- When people stop being polite...

- Make a move, I'm gonna explode.

- And start getting real.

-The real world.

All: san diego.

[Laughter]

[Waves crashing]

[Child shrieking]

- Shut that kid up.

- You stop it.

- That's what I like to yell at restaurants when the babies cry.

- No, you do not.

That's so rude.

- It's rude to have your meal interrupted

By a squealing child.

- [Laughs]

Hopefully, you don't lose an eyebrow.

- Oh, man.

Okay, I don't want them super thin; less is more.

- Mm-hmm.

- Ooh!

- Is that too hot?

- Uh-hmm. - [Laughs]

- It's ironic that the guy who likes to hunt

And sh**t things and play sports and work out

Is getting his eyebrows waxed.

But at the same time you got--

You know, you gotta keep the goods looking good.

Both:[laugh]

- Oh, my gosh.

- What's it like to have two girls on you?

Her boobs are right in your face.

- I'm sorry.

- [Laughs] - I know, it's okay.

- [Laughs]

- You can just do the eyebrow there.

- Me and zach get along.

We're together all the time.

We have very similar personalities.

- Do I look a lot different?

- You actually look really good.

And obviously we're attracted to each other.

That's like a given.

It's obvious and if you can't see it then you're pretty blind.

But, um... [Laughs]

How does your face feel?

- I'm afraid to look.

- It looked really good, though.

They just look cleaned up.

They don't even look different.

- I can tell a huge difference. - You can?

That's 'cause you look at your face every day.

- Do i? - [Laughs]

- It's getting a little annoying at this point.

Like, I won't invite ashley anywhere really.

I'll invite sam or alex first,

Because if ashley comes, she'll bring zach.

And if one of them thinks something,

The other one does ten minutes later.

Day one, for example,

Ashley was like, "oh I like my meat well cooked.

Like, I like it really well done blah, blah, blah, whatever."

And then because zach said something like,

"Oh I like my meat bleeding."

Now she suddenly orders it the same way.

- But just understand, when you are falling in love...

- Why is she falling in love--

- You don't know if they are falling in love or not.

But apparently, I mean, like, there's some sort of attraction.

- Yeah.

- And when you are falling in love, you wanna--

She wants to do what pleases him

And he wants to do what pleases her.

- Oh, my gosh.

- We're done.

That's why we should thaw your meat before you cook it.

- The seasoning is great.

- Dude, you get some [bleep] on your front tooth.

That's really turning me on.

- [Laughs] - can you get it for me?

- Want me to "baby bird" you some chicken breast?

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

- I want as much protein as I can get.

- You want some?

- I want some.

- Please don't, please don't, please don't.

- Oh. - Oh, man.

[Laughs] - oh.

- There's chicken in your eyebrow.

- It's how you baby bird.

[Laughter]

- Nate and I both have the maturity level

Of maybe a nine-year-old boy.

- How else is he supposed to eat

If mama bird doesn't chew it?

- When zach and nate are together, anything goes.

- Eew, you guys are so gross. [Laughs]

- [Coughing] - I'm disgusted, nate.

- Eew, you're so gross.

- I cannot laugh that hard.

- [Laughs] this has actually ruined the family meal.

- Oh, dude.

[Rock music]

[Indistinct chatter]]

- Hey, who can throw a football?

- [Phone dialing] hey.

- Hey.

- Did you hear about what happened?

- No...

- You know katie and rosie had got into a car accident, right?

They hit a guardrail and katie was like thrown from the truck

And she broke both of her femur bones, shattered her pelvic bone

And half of her leg had to get amputated.

- [Pained sigh]

- Yeah.

- So, I just got some really bad news from home.

Two of my best friends got in a car accident on friday.

One of them broke both of her femurs,

Her pelvic bone's shattered.

And she's got an amputated leg from the knee down.

- I'm sorry.

- I mean, she's had so much happen to her in the past year.

- But, I mean, you know, it sucks that it happened, but,

You know, she still gets to make the most of what's she's got.

- Uh-huh.

- Look, she's still here.

- It pains me to see her hurt,

But at the same time, I know I can console her.

I can get her smiling in seconds because I've dealt with this.

I've been through this.

Hey, watch.

- [Laughs] - care to join?

- [Sighs] - turn around.

What's up?

- It's just, it sucks I can't be there.

- Yeah... I understand.

- [Chuckles] - uh-hmm.

You know, we also have eric.

- Eric, I forgot about eric.

Nate just makes me laugh.

He makes me smile.

Mwah.

Like my tattoo on my side.

It says, I live to love and laugh a lot

And he helps me do that.

- Let's call him garic.

g*y eric. [Giggles]

- Wait, if he's garic, then he likes boys.

- Oh, bud, no.

You--you are close enough.

- [Laughs] - yeah.

Tell her hello.

- Na-na-na-na-na.

- What do you guys wanna do? - Na-na-na-na-na.

- I don't know.

- Wanna go play putt-put or something like that?

I've been wanting to.

- I'm down.

- Bowling. - Yes.

- I'm a bowler.

- I love bowling.

- Okay, let's go. - Okay.

I love bowling.

- I'll pay for the cab on the way back.

- Zach was back.

- Oh.

- They just pulled up.

- Where are you guys going?

- Bowling.

- Oh, fun.

- [Whispering] sam got some bad news.

So, she's in kind of a bad mood.

Not bad mood, just sad. - Uh-huh.

- One of her friends got really, really hurt in a car accident.

[Phone ringing] - hey.

- Hi, so what happened?

How-- how'd the accident happen?

- They--they hit a guard rail from what i--

From what I understand.

If you would, please go take her flowers or something.

- Yeah, I will.

- All right, I love you.

- I love you too, honey. - Okay, bye.

- [Bleep] hey.

Dude, I bet I beat you a hundred to nothing right now.

- Nope.

Maybe.

- I--i can't sit here, I need to get out.

That's why we're going out.

Zach, are you changing or are you going like that?

- I gotta change. - All right, well, go change.

- Why?

- Why? Because we're waiting on you and ashley.

- 'Cause you want to play ping-pong, is that why?

- No, actually, I don't.

- Is that why, sam?

- No, I will throw the paddles over the edge.

- You can't throw something that's--

When your roommates enjoy so much.

- Oh, I can.

- Over the edge. No, you won't.

- Do you wanna make a [bleep] $ bet?

- I will beat the g*y out of you

If you throw these paddles off the porch.

Don't play that game with me.

And don't get aggressive with someone

Who's four times your size.

- That's evil.

- [Laughs] no, it's not.

- I'm gonna freak straight the [bleep] out on zach.

I was like, "we're waiting on you and ashley."

He's like, "I need to change."

I was like, "all right, well, go change."

He's like, "why? So, you can play ping-pong?"

I'm like, "no, I don't give a [bleep] about ping-pong.

I will throw those things over the edge."

He's goes, "I will beat the g*y out of you

If you throw these over the edge."

- Oh, my god.

- I don't understand what people's problem is.

- Zach's comment is not funny.

I take it very seriously, you know,

Because there are people, gays, bis, that are getting beat up.

There's g*y hate out there and it's not okay.

It's not okay at all.

- Coming up onthe real world.

- Are you ready, franklin?

Just wait.

- Oh, my-- - [laughing]

- Oh, yes. - Yeah!

- It is very sexy to see a girl sh**t a g*n,

Especially an attractive one.

[g*nsh*t]

- You [bleep] up there.

- How'd I [bleep] there?

- Oh, god.

- [Sighs]

- When zach is so insensitive, rude, wrong to say

That he wants to beat the g*y out of her

If she doesn't shut up,

I understand this is not my fight

But I have to say something.

Why'd you say that, man?

- Well, she said, "I'm gonna throw

All this ping-pong stuff over the edge."

I'm like, "okay, well, if you do that,

Then I'm gonna beat the g*y out of you."

- It's not okay.

Zach, why would you say that, seriously?

You're so unapologetic.

You don't care.

You don't see anything wrong with what you just said.

I don't expect much out of you, zach,

But I do expect a little bit better than that.

- Now, they'll watch that one statement.

Now, everyone in the house is gonna be like,

"You shouldn't have said that, you're such a [bleep]."

- She had a bad day, and you didn't know that yet.

- Sam just got hit with this tragedy.

Her friends have gotten into a terrible car accident.

I wouldn't know how to handle this if I was in sam's shoes.

- Are you guys gonna come or what?

- Not me.

[Upbeat music]

♪

- Woo, bowling!

- Where do we grab our shoes?

- I want some jazzy shoes.

- These are a little big.

- Going bowling definitely helps my mindset.

You know, I feel bad

For everything that happened with my friends,

But you can't sit there and be sad all the time over it.

You know, you gotta continue your life.

- Oh, my god. - Whoo!

- I'm, like, coming dead last.

- I know that some people in this house

Think I'm a little bit of a jerk

Just because of the way I carry myself,

The way I talk sometimes

But I have said this to sam as more of a joke

And I shouldn't have said it,

But I don't feel like I'm gonna say anything to sam.

Unless she confronts me, I'm just gonna leave it alone.

- I'm not gonna call zach out on not saying sorry for my friends

Or saying sorry for the beat the g*y out of you comment.

I mean, he's gonna do what he wants.

I'm not gonna change him.

- And she was like, "and if you don't go get changed right now,

"I'm gonna take all the ping-pong stuff

And throw it off the roof."

- Okay.

- And I said, "if you throw anything out the roof

"That I like--

I was like "then I'll beat the g*y out of you."

- Zach is very sarcastic.

And the thing about it is

Sometimes you could take him a little too seriously.

But I don't necessarily ever think

He says anything maliciously at all.

Sam's having a bad day though.

- I had no idea.

- About her friend? - I had no idea.

- I only knew because frank came to me and pulled me aside

Right when we walked in the house after the gym,

And was like, hey what happened?

- No one told me.

No one told me anything.

- And I figured he did the same to you.

That's why I didn't say anything to you.

- Frankie doesn't like me. - Yeah.

- Five minutes, let's go.

- Are we ready?

- Yup, we're leaving.

- You know being there early is a good thing.

- Yay, job interview.

- We're going to the house of blues today

To have our interviews.

It's a music venue.

I love music, and so I think it's gonna be fun.

What's his name, do you know the guy's name?

- I don't know. - Hello.

- Hi, how's it going?

- We are here to meet with the big man.

- Big man? - Yeah.

- The boss? - Yeah.

- Follow me.

- The entire atmosphere of the house of blues is so much fun.

- The energy is just-- it's really awesome.

- Well, guys, we're real excited that you guys are here.

I'm gonna do a one-on-one interview

And then we'll tell you what your job selections are.

Okay?

You're first.

- Why not. [Laughs]

- Tell us a little bit about yourself.

- Okay, I've bartended for six years.

I'm licensed and trained and all that jazz.

I actually just danced with the house of blues in atlantic city.

- Did you, really? - Yeah.

- Cool.

- I don't think you have dancers here, though.

- Not typically, no.

[Laughter]

- I'm from san diego.

I know a little bit about this.

I had my prom here a few years ago.

- Oh. - Fantastic.

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

What kind of interests you?

- Pretty much I like thinking.

I'm a nuclear engineer,

So that's rather an objective thinking.

But I like the more subjective side of things,

The more humane aspect of creating anything.

- I noticed there's no security on there.

- Yeah, you know... - I know. [Laughs]

-In california, we--

- You might be good at that, but I'm not sure. [Laughs]

- California we have some extra,

You know, certifications that you have to go through.

- Oh. - Just timing-wise.

Yeah, okay.

- It wouldn't work out? - It wouldn't work out.

Yeah, but, you know, there are definitely,

You know, some opportunities still for you.

- Well, sam, tell us about yourself.

- I'm from virginia beach.

- Okay.

- I was in marching band in high school.

- What'd you play?

- Clarinet. - Oh, cool.

- I did, too.

- Oh, gosh.

- My marching band was state champions.

- No kidding?

- Is that what you normally wear to job interviews?

- Huh? - [Laughs]

- Well, I will tell you that I do rock it a lot.

- You taught multivariable calculus?

- Yeah. [Laughs]

- God bless you. - Wow!

Tell us about your A*DS organization.

- I started it actually when I was years old.

For a while I was traveling around the country

And lecturing kids on hiv and A*DS.

And we were on cnn and inpeople magazine andellemagazine.

We've educated like, million kids around the world.

- Wow.

I feel like I've not done anything with my life now.

- Well, you've done something.

All right.

Well, thank you all very much again for coming in.

Tomorrow, :, you guys be here.

We'll tell you what your responsibilities will be

And give you a primary job and a secondary job.

Training.

We'll also get you guys a uniform to be able to wear

While you're--while you're here.

We'll be here to greet you.

- Thank you. - Come on.

- What, exactly, do you wear to pride?

- The theme this year is around the world.

You kind of get something ridiculous and crazy,

Obviously, 'cause it's g*y pride.

Pride weekend is coming up and pride is very important to me

Because it's a union of everybody.

The gays come out.

All the straight people that support us come out.

Everybody is accepted, no matter what.

This is my first big one.

- Parade?

What is this?

It's a parade, right? - Pride.

- It's parade? - Pride.

- Yeah, it's a parade--

- It's a pride festival.

No, it's the whole weekend.

Friday, saturday, sunday.

- I'm like, confused.

Okay, cool.

I remember my cousin invited me to fire island once

And I almost had a heart attack.

- I have no idea what that is.

- It's like in new york.

It's, like, some like...

Island full of g*y people, I guess.

I don't know.

[Phone dialing]

- Hello. It's dwayne.

- Hi, dwayne. This is frank sweeney calling.

- Yes, how are you, frank?

- Good, how are you?

- Doing pretty well.

Three days out from our big event.

- It's lot of--

It's a lot of stuff going down this weekend.

It must be a lot of pressure.

- Yes, san diego pride is

The largest civic event in san diego.

, Folks at the parade.

- This is-- yeah, this is crazy because I'm, I'm originally from

Vermont, so I've never been to anything like this

But I'm really excited.

- We have an exciting thing happening this year

That's actually history-making.

For the first time in the history of pride

Anywhere in the united states, there's gonna be

An active duty military contingent in the parade.

- Oh, my goodness, that's--that's incredible.

- So it's gonna be insane.

So, we're hoping to have you

And maybe some--couple of your roommates.

- Yeah.

- Help us make sure that that comes off without a hitch.

- Absolutely, that sounds great.

I--we'll-- we would love to help with that.

- That's the gig.

- Thanks so much, dwayne.

- Thank you.

- All right, goodbye. - Goodbye.

- So, for saturday morning at pride,

There is a volunteer thing that me and sam are doing.

For the first time ever in any pride parade,

They have a military contingency of anyone who's g*y in military

And there are military guys marching in it.

- That's crazy.

- Yeah.

We're just passing out flags and t-shirts

And like giving them like water, you know,

Just doing anything they need

Just from : to : on saturday.

And so, I know the g*y thing is not your guys' thing,

But I don't know about maybe if you want to come help

For two hours in the morning.

- Yeah, I mean, I don't--it's me, personally, I don't care.

Like I've said that like, I mean,

I don't like being pushed into a lifestyle.

That's all I care about, you know?

I don't mind doing stuff for a good cause.

Like I'm not an a*s[bleep].

[Laughs] - no, yeah, I know.

I'm just asking.

Instead of me presenting it to zach,

Do you want to--maybe ask him if he would do that?

- No, ask him yourself.

- You think? - Yeah, I'm not gonna.

- Okay. I would love to get everybody to go if we could.

- Ready to go? - Mm-hmm.

- All right, have fun, guys.

- Peace out, guys.

- She's not gonna do it. - Nope.

He's not gonna go, and she's not gonna go.

- What was frank talking about doing?

- Like you guess like-- it's the first year

The army is like doing something with pride.

'Cause like it's that "don't ask don't tell" is free or whatever.

And so they're working two hours

Just with the army, just handing out flags and stuff.

It's like, I guess there's guys going.

I didn't know people in the army were g*y, but anyway...

And he's like will you ask zach?

I was like, no, he has his own mind.

You can ask him yourself.

- Is he afraid of me?

- Yeah.

- Good.

- Zach and I are going to the sh**ting range.

You know, he's a little stressed out

And I think that going and sh**ting some g*ns

Brings him back in his element back home.

That would just be good for him, plus it's fun.

- So what are you guys thinking about sh**ting today?

Did you want a handgun or long g*n, like a r*fle or shotgun?

- Wow. - Do you wanna sh**t a shotgun?

- Yeah, kinda.

- You ever sh**t like an ak- or anything like that?

That's kind of fun. - Yeah!

- Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun.

- Pick a g*n I don't care, just make it badass.

- Let's do an ak. - Ak-, awesome.

- Oh, my god.

Oh, that's my initials, a.k.

- Wow.

And there shouldn't be any problem at all

Just sh**ting this thing, huh? - [Laughs]

I've never shot a g*n before.

But when zach's happier I'm more happy too.

Let's sh**t some [bleep].

- [g*nsh*t] ♪ here I come

♪ Gonna shake it up, gonna crack the code up ♪

♪ I want the bang, bang, bang

- sh**ting g*ns is definitely one of my favorite hobbies.

I just became addicted to it.

And when I do it, I do seem to relax a little a bit.

[g*nshots]

- Did you want to sh**t that?

-I don't know. - Come here.

- Okay.

- Get off the trigger. - Okay.

Now what?

- Aim it.

- And sh**t?

[g*nsh*t]

What did I hit?

- Everything. - [Laughs]

- Watch--watch the muzzle.

-I've got it.

I'm not gonna sh**t you guys.

[g*nshots]

- It is very sexy to see a girl sh**t a g*n,

Especially an attractive one.

- How hot and badass is this?

Like sh**ting g*ns, like, come on, how am I not horny?

Where should I sh**t him now?

- Try hitting him in the head there.

- Oh, my gosh. [Laughter]

Blown his scalp off.

- This is g*y day number one,

And frank and I are going to hillcrest

To go shopping for pride.

This is a really big deal for frank.

He's never done this before.

I'm really proud of him.

- How's it going?

- First time in store?

- I can't wear-- I can't wear this small.

Yes, yes it's the first time in the store.

It's first time for me in any store like this so...

- Oh.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- We'll explore it all.

Stickers, cents each.

- Can I just tell you how pissed zach would be if I got this?

- He'd be really pissed.

- I'm getting one for my room.

Here's a littler one.

With pride coming up, I specifically am going

To buy a rainbow flag.

Because I've always wanted one,

Never had the opportunity to get one,

And now, it's like screw it lets go, let's get one.

I'm totally gonna do it because he has his american flag.

I can have mine, right?

- Yup.

- And you know what?

He can't say [bleep] about it. - No.

- So how many of my roommates do I have?

- Six.

- Do you want one too?

- Yeah, why not?

Are you going to put it up as soon as you get home?

- Oh, yeah, I'm gonna invite him in and wat--

Have him watch me do it too.

- Oh, god.

- You're welcome.

- I will-- I never want to be shot.

It doesn't seem fun.

You ever been shot?

- Have I ever been shot?

- Yeah. - No. [Chuckles]

[g*nshots]

- Yeah, welcome back.

- How pissed would frank be if I hung these from our walls?

- [Laughs] just do it.

- I think that if I were to enter a relationship,

It would make people like zach and ashley more comfortable

Because it's--it becomes--

It takes it and distracts it from just plain old sexuality,

And sex and all that stuff, and puts it as two people.

- Do you wanna date a guy?

- Yeah!

- [Bleep] try, of course I do.

I really want to I'd-- I just want people...

- Acceptance?

- I don't even--i-- for me, I don't care.

- Well, then why are you so worried about zach?

- I'm worried about zach because it just upsets me

That he would go as far as say beat the g*y out of you.

It upsets me that people like that exist.

- Yeah, that's a lot.

- It's also just hard to separate him not liking me

From my sexuality because the switchover in him liking me

Happened because I slept with a guy.

You know I mean?

So like, I can chalk it up to him--

I can chalk it up to him and be like,

"Oh, he doesn't like my personality,

But he [bleep] did before."

You know I mean?

And we got along just fine.

- It's the only reason why.

It's hard for the fact that, you know, the least--

The least supportive in the house is my roommate.

You know, zach, he's actually--

He's a cool guy, but it's like

You haven't even shown an ounce of support.

We're people too, you know,

And I kind of would have expected a lot more from him.

- Where does our-- where'd that tape go?

Yes!

[Rock music]

♪

- We don't even need to go anywhere else.

This place has got a ton.

- I'd go with the pink tutu. - Mm-hmm.

- That short one too?

- Yes.

- And let's get you-- how 'bout this?

How 'bout this?

- That's totally fine.

- [Laughing] you wanna go more classic?

- We can go classic.

Is it open-toed?

Nice. - I think so.

- [Laughs] yeah. - Very nice.

- Yeah, and a purse.

- This is the first time I've had--

- Any girl clothes on the entire time she's moved in.

- This is totally going with me, I'm buying these.

- Hilarious, okay cool.

So you have the shoes, bag, [indistinct].

- Yes. - She's ready to go.

- Are you ready, franklin?

- I'm so ready.

You look good.

You have-- you have nice legs... Nice ankles.

- Just wait.

- Oh, my-- [laughs]

You look fantastic.

- I love you, frank.

And now we need to dress you like a girl.

- Same outfit?

- Same outfit, I love it.

Oh, yes.

- Yeah.

- Come on.

- Yeah. - Come on, beauty.

Frank, um, I think you should have this one.

- Oh, that looks a lot better on you, yeah.

- Yes, all of it.

- I don't need a big bag to go out.

Pride is the big weekend for sam and i, and, you know,

I've never done any of these sorts of things before.

It's absolutely gonna be shocking and weird,

But it's important.

It's part of who I am and I want to take part in the activities.

Oh, my god, I feel so good.

- Could we go please put up my flag?

Can you help me, since nobody's home?

- I can't help. - Yes, you can!

I told you i-- I'm taking myself out of it.

- No, you're coming.

Let's go.

- Zach and sam's room is the epicenter of right wing america.

- He's gonna love it.

- I mean, this is a nice flag though, too, it is.

- Mm-hmm, it's beautiful.

Probably my favorite thing in the entire world.

Beautiful.

- [Laughs] - god, I love my life.

- Where do you wanna put your sticker?

- Oh, I'm gonna put it on his side of the lamp.

- You can put on the-- the sh**ting range.

[Laughs] oh, no.

- Oh, my god, he's--

He will never [laughs]

- It's a cowboy going sh**ting.

It was an amazing, amazing day.

I'm so happy to have-- to have sam in this house

And she got me--

She got all of our roommates these rainbow bracelets.

And I can promise you that if sam wasn't here,

I wouldn't be doing any of this stuff.

I wouldn't be going to g*y bars.

I've never been to a g*y bar

And I wouldn't have been if sam wasn't here.

I would never be sporting a rainbow bracelet

Around my wrist,

And I'm so proud to be wearing it.

I'm so proud to be going to pride with her.

I'm just so--so happy.

I wouldn't be doing any of this without you here.

So, thanks.

- I come home to find a rainbow american flag

Hanging on my wall in my room.

- What's up, zach?

Look, you don't have to take these,

But I got you one just for pride.

- Thank you. - I know.

Did you see my awesome flag?

- Love it.

- You're welcome.

- I'm not thanking you, but... - [Laughs]

- I think sam definitely put the flag on the wall

As a little jab

Towards me, but it's her half of the room.

She can do what she wants.

- Ready for work.

I need to put shoes on.

First day of work,

We all have our matching house of blues uniforms.

- [Laughs] is that cherry? - Yes.

- [French accent] it is the cherry.

- You know, I'm really excited about this job.

- All right, well, busy day today.

You know, first day of training, you got a lot going on,

So I think it's time to introduce you to the troops.

- Let's go. - Cool, all right.

- Yeah. - All right.

- Paired up with nate, for stagehand,

And we meet our boss, which is d.c.

D.c. Is gonna make it a lot of fun.

- I'll call you when the band comes up.

- All right, sounds good.

- So, the eye-hand coordination is like a stage manager thing.

Basically, to see how it--like I might you know, see how fast

You quick--you know, if you're quick like,

Tell me just like, you see a mike stand fall and be like "oh"

And so they--it looks like they came up with the test

A few years ago, like back in the 's.

- The stage manager d.c., He's cool dude.

Real chill, laid back, easy to work with, and he--

And he knows his [bleep].

- You're gonna start like that.

And you're gonna start going like this, all right?

Now, I'll go , , , , , then you close your eyes.

Some people can't do this without hitting a hand.

They can't just keep doing it.

Once they close their eyes, they keep hitting hands.

Some people can just keep doing it without hitting hands

And keep going so...

- I start out with my eyes open, right?

- Yeah, yeah, get used to it and I'll tell you.

I'll say you comfortable and you say yeah.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Close your eyes.

[Laughing]

- Wait, are you still there?

[Clapping] bravo, house of blues, you got me.

You can only applaud a good one.

Damn it.

- Oh, now I gotta get some-- that was good.

- For your certification,

We're gonna do just one mock seating.

Like, you guys will both seat me at the same time.

But just seat me like a guest.

- All right. - Okay, here we go.

- Hey, welcome to the house of blues.

- How you doin'?

- Are you seeing the show tonight?

Or just hanging out for dinner?

- No, I would just-- I wanna get some dinner.

I've never been here before so. -Sure, have a bite.

- Well, there's a great live band playing right now.

So, if you just follow us this way, we'll sit you down.

- Great.

- [Indistinct]

- Hi, how are you?

- Could I get a margarita rock salt and a shirley temple?

- Yeah.

- Ashley is the bartender, I'm the bar back,

Which makes me ashley's assistant.

- Thank you, guys.

- Always leave a little bit of bait.

Did you ever use that term before, "bait?"

- I use my face for that.

- [Laughing]

He's like, "we leave some money on the bar for bait."

I was like, "I just use my face for that."

[Laughing]

I don't know if zach necessarily resents the fact

That I'm in a more superior position.

Excuse me. Beep, beep.

But I love it.

- Got it?

- Let's talk real fast about saturday and sunday.

We'll sneak up in here.

Next week is pride festival.

- Yes. - We're wondering what

Our schedule's gonna be like.

That's like our big weekend here.

- And it's gonna be a big weekend for us as well.

In the next day or so, we're actually gonna get exactly

Where we're gonna be at at pride.

- At pride? - At pride.

- Yeah, so I'll send you an email with the map

And we have a booth.

- Currently, we have to work at the g*y pride parade.

- Zach has to go to pride, it's his job.

So he's not gonna face

Just two g*y roommates that he lives with.

He's gonna face thousands of gays

And thousands of people that support gays.

And he's gonna have to open up his mind and shut his mouth.

It's just the way it's gonna have to be.

- It's very frustrating 'cause I've never been a part of this

Nor have I ever supported this,

So I am absolutely, % freaked out.

- All right. - So...my friends...

Were at the hospital this morning.

Do you need anything, you know?"

And she was like, "bacon and deodorant."

[Laughs] that's her favorite thing in the world: bacon.

- Uh, there's-- do you wanna send her--

Do you wanna send her bacon chocolate chip pancake mix?

It's the best.

It's so good. - That sounds--

- She likes everything.

- Okay, I know where to get it online, and it is so good.

- Okay. - It's like salty and sweet.

I love him to death.

And it's great to know that I have somebody

That is just supportive of me.

I got it, I got it. - You got it?

- Hey. - Oh.

- Brock. - Yeah.

- I got a question for you. - Okay.

- 'Cause you're in the army.

I've been asked to do charity work

At a g*y pride parade or something for the military,

And I don't wanna do it. Am I just--

- I wouldn't. - Okay, thank you.

- I wouldn't do it.

- Okay, thanks. - Yeah.

- This whole pride weekend thing.

If they wanna go out and have fun, good for them.

Like I'm happy for them,

But this has nothing to do with me.

I like to go to church.

I like to go to the gym.

I like to go to g*n ranges, and anyone is invited to go,

But if they choose not to go with me,

I'm not going to think that they think less of me.

- Hey, thursday night, there's a l*sbian highlighter party.

We have a vip booth and vip bottle service, it's comped.

I invite all my roommates to the l*sbian highlight party.

This is a really big deal.

It's kind of like the kickoff to pride.

It's all-lesbians, you all wear white, and you get highlighters,

And write all over people.

You and ashley are more than welcome to come.

I would love for you guys to be there.

- I'm gonna get a vip pass. - He's going.

- Do I have to have a lot of people write on me?

- I will. - Yeah.

I'll buy you a brand-new pack of undershirts.

And I'm gonna be on the bar covered in whipped cream

And people are gonna be dancing on me.

- Oh, yeah, sam is doing that. - Wow.

- Oh, am I really making you puke already?

Damn it.

- I don't know why any straight guy would opt out

Of a l*sbian highlighter party

With free bottle service and vip.

So you're gonna do the-- the [bleep] bar?

- We'll see, I don't know.

- I'm stoked, I'm going.

- There's gonna be gays, lesbians, everybody there.

- I don't really wanna go to a l*sbian bar,

But I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Tonight and like, here's the thing like.

It's a highlighter party, so like, there's gonna be like,

g*y people walking around writing on everyone.

And the thing is if you go to a highlighter party like,

And someone comes up to write on you,

And you spaz out on them, you're the a*s[bleep] because...

Highlighter party, if you don't want a g*y guy to write on you.

Like you're big, they're gonna be all over you.

- Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

- Climbing all over you.

- And I'm not trying to be like that guy because I guarantee

If I say that, he's gonna be, "oh, don't flatter yourself."

But I got long hair and really white teeth,

I just got an eyebrow job, like i--

I'm already on the line, you know, like.

- I don't care about what he does.

I just--i would love to see him open up his mind

Even if it's not to g*y stuff.

- For--for now, the fact that he's even in this house,

Staying in that room with the flag,

Like, he's taking steps, it's just not--

- Sure.

- He's not-- he's not gonna be like,

"Whoo hoo, I'm cool with it all now."

You know, it's like--yeah. - Nobody's asking for that.

- If he decides sunday to go to the highlighter party

Or to hang out out at pride for reasons other than work,

Like that may or may not happen, but just being here...

- That's not what's important.

- Just being here, I promise you,

Is opening his mind even if he's not trying.
