00:00So, since your mom used to handle the holidays,
00:03I thought we should talk about a game plan
00:05for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
00:07Oh, I say we follow the Connor tradition,
00:10spend every dime we have on Halloween,
00:12and then we have nothing to be thankful for or buy gifts with.
00:17Hi, Mom. Hiya, Jackie.
00:19Hey, how was school?
00:21Good. We're learning about democracy.
00:23Oh, it's a class in ancient history, eh?
00:26Oh, it's a class in ancient history, eh?
00:30We're doing products about the election.
00:32I'm gonna take a poll at the mall to see how people voted.
00:35Oh, good. My 11-year-old approaching strangers at the mall.
00:38Why don't we double down and just have you hitchhike there?
00:42No, you're taking me.
00:44Oh, I-I can't. I have to work that day.
00:46I didn't tell you what day it was.
00:50Oh, you didn't?
00:51Well, let's not get bogged down in he said, she said.
00:54All right, what day is it?
00:55Saturday.
00:56How about that? I actually have to work that day.
00:59Well, I'm free on Saturday. I'd love to help.
01:01I think it's great that you're hungry to learn about
01:03how democracy is supposed to work,
01:05because it's up to you young people
01:07to snatch it back from special interests
01:09and breathe new life into this noble experiment
01:12that we call America.
01:16Guys, you gotta see this.
01:24Oh, my God.
01:32Why is he outside?
01:34He's watching TV.
01:38Well, yes, that's the obvious explanation.
01:40Now let's dig a little deeper.
01:43I think the shock of losing your mom has worn off
01:46and now he's just depressed, but he doesn't want us to see it.
01:49Well, watching TV from the porch is not a good way to hide it.
01:53He's been isolating himself from the family more and more.
01:57Before you know it, he'll be across the street.
02:01Oh, he'll go as far as that remote will let him.
02:09Hey, Dad.
02:11What's up?
02:18Watching TV from the porch.
02:20Cool.
02:23Quick question. Why?
02:26I wanted to watch TV.
02:28And I'm getting some fresh air.
02:31Also looking for a little alone time.
02:34Don't mind us.
02:35Yeah, that's healthy.
02:36Sure.
02:37Yeah.
02:41I'm glad you feel that way.
02:45But we won't know until we test it.
02:54Okay.
02:55If you're going to track me like a wounded animal,
02:57do the decent thing and shoot me, would you?
03:00Dan, you can't avoid our love.
03:02You've been through a huge loss.
03:04Tell us what you're feeling.
03:05Give it to us.
03:09All right.
03:10I am having a very strong feeling.
03:13My sister-in-law is badgering me
03:15and I want to know what's going on.
03:17I want to know what's going on.
03:19I'm having a very strong feeling.
03:21My sister-in-law is badgering me
03:23and I want her to leave my garage.
03:27Maybe you don't want to talk to us,
03:29but you got to talk to somebody.
03:31I went to a support group when Mark died.
03:34It really helped me.
03:36I still go sometimes.
03:37There you go.
03:38Tell him what you got out of it.
03:39Well, I talked to nice old men
03:41who have tennis bracelets but no one to wear them.
03:46See?
03:47It says Tiffany,
03:50but that's just the wife's name.
03:53I find that the guys on my crew
03:55get jealous when I wear my diamonds,
03:57so that's out.
04:00I'll call you if I need you.
04:02Ah, you left your phone by the bike.
04:04Exactly.
04:17¶¶
04:44The Conners is recorded
04:45in front of a live studio audience.
04:47Okay, ladies, now that I'm back,
04:49I want to show you all
04:50how Mary's hair should be done.
04:54It's a simple ten-step process
04:56that should take no longer than three hours.
05:00Uh, looking at my hair,
05:02did you ever think I had a realistic chance
05:04of getting hers right?
05:07Okay, the car's all packed up.
05:08Head back to the base.
05:09Remember, we have to stop by the PX
05:11to get Mary some new church clothes.
05:12We don't go to church.
05:14Excuse me?
05:17What does she mean by that?
05:19Who knows?
05:20Kids have rich fantasy lives.
05:21They have dragons for friends.
05:25When was the last time she was in church?
05:28It's funny that tricks time can play on you.
05:31How long?
05:32I'm gonna say about a year.
05:35How long?
05:37Two years.
05:39Two years?
05:40That's almost the whole time I was gone.
05:42Well, in DJ's defense,
05:43you know we've never really been religious people.
05:46I mean, we pray,
05:47but it's usually just rub-a-dub-dub
05:48thanks for the grub, or...
05:51you know,
05:52asking for a little help at the track.
05:56Well, some of us go regularly.
05:58I take my mother to services every Sunday
06:00just to remind God she's still here
06:02in case he forgot to take her.
06:05Well, you can gamble with your souls if you want,
06:07but my family's going to church.
06:09Aunt Darlene doesn't make Mark and Harris go,
06:11so why do I have to?
06:13Because I said so.
06:16DJ, let's go.
06:21It's okay.
06:22I've had a good life.
06:26Yeah, I didn't want to correct him.
06:32Hey, so my dad will be here any minute,
06:34and remember, he's kind of raw right now,
06:37but I do think he really wants to talk.
06:39Just don't force it.
06:40We don't have to yell surprise, do we?
06:43No.
06:44Just hang out, have fun, don't make it weird.
06:47You know, if this doesn't work,
06:48I know some guys who play drums in the woods.
06:52They seem pretty happy.
06:55Yeah, let's try beer and poker tonight,
06:57but we got that in our back pocket.
07:00Right on.
07:01Right on.
07:03He's here.
07:04Everybody act casual.
07:10Jackie,
07:12why is your car blocking the driveway?
07:14No reason.
07:18Maybe we just wanted you to come in through the front door.
07:21For no reason!
07:23Oh, good, crazy people.
07:27I know I'm in the right house.
07:31Hey, what's going on?
07:33What are you guys doing here?
07:35We're here to play some poker.
07:36Hey, Dwight here,
07:37he finally got his check from when that street cleaner ran him over.
07:40We're gonna take his money.
07:44It was a rough night.
07:45Kind of fell asleep in the gutter.
07:49That is some real guy talk.
07:53Okay, Dan, you guys have a great game.
07:55There's no game.
07:56Everybody go home.
07:58Come on, we're all here.
07:59I said go home.
08:03Oh, hang on a minute.
08:05Let me just go talk to him.
08:07I thought I made it clear.
08:08I wanted to be left alone.
08:10But, Dad, these are your friends.
08:12We thought you could just play some cards,
08:13maybe talk about some things.
08:15I already told you, I don't have anything to talk about,
08:17and I don't need my friends sitting around here feeling sorry for me.
08:20It's not like that.
08:22Your daughter, she's just worried about you.
08:24We know what you're going through.
08:26Oh, I'm sorry, Chuck.
08:27I didn't realize Anne Marie was dead.
08:30Oh, come on, Dan.
08:31Oh, I didn't, everybody.
08:32Just leave me the hell alone.
08:37Dan gonna be okay?
08:40Think so.
08:42I'm sorry I dragged you guys all the way over here.
08:45Oh, it's okay.
08:46We already lied to our wives to get the night out.
08:51We're gonna hit the strip club.
08:55You're welcome to join us if you want to.
08:58That's sweet.
08:59I'll pass.
09:01I'm getting my jacket!
09:08Now, you remember how back at the house
09:10everybody was arguing about religion?
09:12Well, the same thing happens with politics
09:14because it's very personal, it's very private.
09:16So as a pollster, your job is just remain neutral
09:20and just, you know, just record the answers.
09:23Okay? Democracy in action.
09:25Go get them.
09:28Hello, I'm doing a political poll for school.
09:30Are you registered as a Democrat or a Republican?
09:33Democrat.
09:34Blue Wave 2020!
09:37Sorry!
09:39Aunt Jackie, you scared us.
09:41Yeah, sorry, I just felt a rush of hope
09:43and it just got away from me.
09:44Carry on.
09:47Hi, I'm doing a political poll for school.
09:49Are you registered as a Democrat or a Republican?
09:52Republican.
09:53Did you vote for higher property taxes
09:56to pay for funding of the arts?
09:57No.
09:59Uh, hi, I'm Jackie.
10:00I'm the aunt of the pollster.
10:02Quick follow-up question.
10:04So there's proof that communities
10:07with more arts programs have less crime
10:10and it enriches our kids' lives
10:12and you like kids, right?
10:14Nice bait, but I'm not taking it.
10:16I work hard to pay my property taxes
10:18and there are a lot more important things
10:20to spend money on than the city
10:21wasting my taxes on a giant mural
10:23of a crying polar bear underneath a beach umbrella.
10:28He's not crying, he's sweating.
10:32So you've never wasted money, you and that
10:35ridiculously huge pretzel.
10:38You want to talk about wasting money?
10:40How about Obamacare?
10:41How about the wall?
10:42Benghazi.
10:43Collusion.
10:44Fake news.
10:45Fake news.
10:50Jackie, we're not supposed to take sides.
10:53You're messing up the poll.
10:54I know, I get it.
10:57Oh, here we go!
11:03Oh, I figured you'd show up.
11:05I'll make up the couch for you.
11:07I just need some help.
11:09Oh, sure.
11:10Right after I get Dad out of his depression,
11:12do the laundry, make an Ice Age diorama
11:15of Illinois for Mark's class,
11:16maybe while I'm helping everybody
11:18I can strap a broom to my ass
11:19and sweep the kitchen.
11:21I could put these socks in a ball pit.
11:24I could put these socks in a ball for you.
11:26Oh, thanks.
11:27That was the thing I was most concerned about.
11:30All right, what's up?
11:32I need you and Dad to go to church,
11:34and I need you to bring Mark and Harris.
11:36What? Why?
11:37So that Mary will want to go.
11:39I'm sorry, Deej.
11:40You know, it's like the whole organized religion thing.
11:42It's up to you if you want to believe there's a God,
11:44but I can't turn my back on my atheism.
11:46It's the only thing I believe in.
11:48Mary and Gina used to love to go to church together.
11:51This was huge for them.
11:52And I wrecked it.
11:54Well, then you should fix it.
11:57Come on, please.
11:59Oh, God.
12:00Yes, just like that.
12:02Only louder and like you believe it.
12:07Just once to fake the kid out.
12:09Thank you. Thank you.
12:11Yeah, get off me.
12:12Oh, sorry.
12:13And just so you know, it's gonna be me and Mark.
12:15Harris is doing community service for her school.
12:17There's a red tide,
12:18and she's shoveling dead fish out of Lake Michigan.
12:22Lucky.
12:27Welcome to the group, friend.
12:29What's your name?
12:30Dan, but everybody just keep going.
12:32I'm good.
12:33That's okay.
12:35No pressure to talk here.
12:38So what brings you here, Dan?
12:42My wife died.
12:44And?
12:45I'm sorry, were you looking for something bigger?
12:48No.
12:49If you're like most of us here, you're in pain,
12:52and I just figured you needed someone to talk to.
12:55That's what my family thinks.
12:58Seeing as how I just blew up at a bunch of my best friends,
13:01maybe they're right,
13:03but I'd just like to listen for now.
13:05You know, we have a saying.
13:07If you won't open up, we can't come in.
13:11What if I don't want you to come in?
13:14I understand your fears,
13:15but I want you to know I've been coming here for 20 years now,
13:18and it really helps.
13:19Oh, my God, I can't come back here for 20 years.
13:21I'll talk.
13:25What am I supposed to say?
13:27Tell us what's bothering you.
13:29I don't know.
13:32You know when you're a little kid
13:34and they tell you in Sunday school to live right,
13:36be a good person, say your prayers,
13:38and God will reward you?
13:41I tried.
13:43I mean, I'm not just saying this.
13:45I busted my ass to play by the rules,
13:48and here's my reward.
13:50I'm 66 years old,
13:51and I get to live the rest of my life
13:53without the woman I love.
13:55God and I made a deal.
13:57He did not come through on his end.
14:01Thanks for sharing, Dan.
14:03We hope you keep coming back.
14:06Anyone else want to share?
14:07Excuse me.
14:09Aren't you going to come in?
14:12We came in and listened.
14:14Don't you feel better now that you've shared?
14:17No.
14:19No, I don't.
14:21Well, it takes time.
14:23Paulie.
14:24My wife has gone 20 years ago to the day,
14:28and it still feels like it was yesterday.
14:31Now, I may have told this story before,
14:33but I picked up this book...
14:34I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm sorry to interrupt.
14:36I was going to leave,
14:37but then you stood up and started talking,
14:39and it got personal,
14:40and I really didn't want to stay for the whole thing.
14:43Uh, here we are.
14:46Uh...
14:50Feel better, everybody.
14:59Darlene says we got to get going.
15:01Nothing like having a grumpy atheist
15:03wake you up at 7 in the morning
15:05telling you you're going to be late to church.
15:08I'm going to have to meet you there.
15:09I need a couple of minutes to finish this bike
15:11and load it on the trailer.
15:13You sold the bike?
15:14Yeah.
15:16I'm delivering it to the new owner right after church.
15:19Well, your mom didn't want me riding it anyway.
15:22She was afraid I'd get killed,
15:24and she'd have to raise you alone.
15:27She said, you help make this mess,
15:29you're not dumping it all on me.
15:33So, when you lost Mark,
15:38did you ever find a cure
15:41for waking up every morning and looking for him?
15:44Darlene and I got drunk one night
15:47and talked about how I never really sat still
15:52long enough to make sense of it all.
15:54So I went home and parked myself in a chair for a week,
16:00and by blocking out all the noise in my life,
16:04I got some clarity
16:06and figured out how to move forward.
16:09So you did it all by yourself?
16:12And why were you pushing me to sit around
16:15talking to a bunch of strangers in a group?
16:18Because it kind of helped,
16:20and everyone was really concerned about you,
16:22and I didn't want it to seem like I didn't care.
16:26Oh, so you don't care.
16:29No, I just know you.
16:32Nobody's gonna tell you how to fix something.
16:37Time to go.
16:39How long do we have to stay?
16:42Just long enough for God to see your face,
16:45and by God, I mean Gina.
16:48So when are we gonna get back out there
16:50and finish that polling project?
16:52Yeah, I kind of changed it into an essay.
16:55It's about how people don't listen.
16:57They just yell at each other,
16:59and if we don't start listening and being nicer,
17:01we'll never be able to get along.
17:03I know.
17:04Those people at the mall were complete jerks.
17:08Well, you know what?
17:09I don't know.
17:10I don't know.
17:11I don't know.
17:12I don't know.
17:13I don't know.
17:15Welcome, everyone.
17:17God is good.
17:18All the time.
17:19All the time?
17:20God is good.
17:22God is good.
17:25You have such a progressive church
17:27to have a woman preacher.
17:28Oh, the preacher comes out later.
17:30That's the deaconess.
17:31Oh, seeming like an emcee.
17:33Oh, oh, I'm learning so much.
17:36That's the deaconess.
17:37Preacher comes out later.
17:38That's the deaconess.
17:39Preacher comes out later.
17:40That's the deaconess.
17:41The preacher comes out later.
17:44I would like to point out that one of our congregation
17:46has just returned from serving our country overseas.
17:49Gina Conner, would you stand and be recognized?
17:56Baby, people stopped raising the roof in 2005.
17:59I understand that the rest of the Conners are here, too.
18:02Stand up so we know who you are.
18:05I'm just teasing.
18:06We know who you are.
18:09Okay, everyone.
18:11Okay, everyone, would you please rise
18:13as we praise God with a song?
18:17This little light of mine
18:20I'm gonna let it shine
18:23This little light of mine
18:27I'm gonna let it shine
18:30This little light of mine
18:34Hey, I got your text.
18:36What happened?
18:38I wanted to help D.J., but I got to the church.
18:42I just couldn't go in.
18:44I'm not in a great place with God right now.
18:48Dad, you gotta tell us how we can help you.
18:52You can't.
18:53I have to do this myself.
18:55But you're not.
18:56You know, you're not talking to us.
18:58You're not talking to your friends.
19:00You won't go to a meeting.
19:01I went.
19:02There was a bunch of people yammering on
19:04about how they'll never get over
19:06the loss of their husbands and wives.
19:08From what I saw, it was the fun ones who died.
19:15All right, so...
19:18what do we do now?
19:19Well, I don't know about you,
19:22but I'm going for a ride.
19:24Boy, I sure hope you got a bicycle in here someplace.
19:28Nope.
19:30You're 65 years old.
19:32You haven't ridden in forever.
19:33Why are you doing this?
19:35I need to.
19:37I'm gonna get out on the road and ride
19:39till I feel better.
19:42Or feel something.
19:44Hitting the pavement at 80 miles per hour,
19:46you're definitely gonna feel something.
19:49Who knows?
19:50Maybe God and I'll meet up in a bar,
19:53and he'll pick up the tab.
19:55He really owes me.
19:58All right, how about this compromise?
20:01You talk to God
20:03while you're watching Easy Rider
20:05from your chair in the front yard.
20:07I love you.
20:13Oh, you're so young.
20:20Uh, Dad?
20:21Yeah?
20:22Say hi to Mom.
20:29By the end of the night,
20:30I'm gonna own that sweet motorcycle of yours.
20:32If it's not on the table,
20:33I'm having too much fun riding it.
20:38That sounds pretty good.
20:39How come Anne-Marie wanted it out of the house?
20:42Ah, she's convinced the Bluetooth speaker
20:44is listening and recording her recipes.
20:52Working in a coal mine
20:54Going down, down, down
20:56Working in a coal mine
20:58About to slip down
20:59Working in a coal mine
21:01Going down, down, down
21:03Working in a coal mine
21:05About to slip down
21:06Isn't this great?
21:08Friends coming together.
21:11Singing about coal.
21:14Playing each other through song.
21:18Man love!
21:20Working in a coal mine
21:21Going down, down, down
21:23Working in a coal mine
21:25About to slip down
21:26Working in a coal mine
21:28Going down, down, down
21:31Ha ha ha!
