Speaker A
She really didn't. The Caitlyn set me up with this guy Tyler. They said he's not even a creep.
Speaker A
I mean, come on. How romantic. We got to meet this fella. I don't know, kids. Your mom's expecting you in the country today.
Speaker A
Already on it. Is that my phone? Hi, son. Hi, Mom. Steal your dad's phone?
Speaker A
Yeah. Well, I'm excited to see you kids today. Actually, Mama, can we stay in the city?
Speaker A
I have fun plans for us in the country. But Gloria has a date. This may never happen again.
Speaker A
Gloria's got a date. When? Who's the guy? Okay, bye. Situation handled, man. Hello, Tyler.
Speaker A
Oh. Um, hi. Is Gloria here? You better believe it. She's just getting ready. Come on in. We're so happy you're taking out our Gloria now.
Speaker A
I trust you'll be a respectful young man tonight. You got a job or you some kind of bum?
Speaker A
Two-part question. When are the nuptials? And how do you feel about cows in the wedding party?
Speaker A
Uh, so you're really going out with Gloria. It's not like some dare. Hi, Tyler.
Speaker A
Oh, thank goodness. Your family is really something, huh? Oh, they're not my family. What?
Speaker A
That man isn't your father? No, I just live in his basement. You live in their basement?
Speaker A
Yep. Rent-free. Pretty sweet, huh? But why? 'Cause I'm her best friend. You're friends with a little kid? Yeah, but he's like a work friend.
Speaker A
Where do you work that uses child labor? In the cafe next door. But it wasn't child labor because they didn't pay him.
Speaker A
They still don't pay me 'cause I won't let her. You see, I became co-owner after Gloria went to jail.
Speaker A
We put the fun in family. Tyler. Oh, you guys. So, should we take your car or— [screaming] I can't believe Caitlyn said you weren't a creep.
Speaker A
Frit knock. Gloria, that's why you have the greens. I have to move out. Welcome to your new home is what I would say if you rent this fine [music] luxury penthouse.
Speaker A
What do you think? Wow, this place is really nice. A little too nice. And how much does it cost? Cricket, you don't need to follow me. I can do this myself. How much does it cost? [music] Here's the flyer.
Speaker A
What was once the Butcher Brothers slaughterhouse has now been carved up into spacious live-work units.
Speaker A
The neighborhood's so pretty. Wow, that guy just got jumped. Man, they are whaling on him. Should we call the cops?
Speaker A
Maybe we can show you something else. This isn't a good place for snitches. And here we have a charming little two-bedroom complete with four walls, a ceiling, and get this, a floor.
Speaker A
This isn't bad. And it's deeply discounted due to the neighbors. Stop her before she eats my pants.
Speaker A
[screaming] Stop pulling. You're helping her. Well, it is close to work. This place is more than not bad. I can host friends.
Speaker A
There's room for an art studio. It's perfect. You're going to pay a bunch of money just to move next door? You sure you don't want to just stay with us?
Speaker A
What a normal living situation. I date whoever lives here. Yes, totally sure. I'll take it.
Speaker A
Fantastic. I'll get the paperwork. I can't believe I'll have my own place again. Now you'll seem way less creepy.
Speaker A
Oh my gosh. You think so? Stop. You're crazy. Are you going to visit? She's going through something.
Speaker A
All filled out. Path to normalcy starts now. Oh yeah, [screaming] there you are. You are being requested in the living room. [laughter] What is going on?
Speaker A
We just want to congratulate you on taking this big step. And to celebrate, I made a video on my phone. I can't figure out how to get it off the dang thing. So, let's just watch it like this.
Speaker A
I got this one off your social media. Thanks, Bill. It's your old apartment.
Speaker A
Uh, I forgot how small it was. Couldn't find much else before you met us. It's like you didn't exist.
Speaker A
Oh, this was the time we stopped you from giving up and leaving Big City.
Speaker A
Man, we saved her skin on that [music] one. Please, I would have been fine.
Speaker A
And there's you and Ma celebrating your successful business. We used my retirement money. Oh, yeah. That was really nice of you.
Speaker A
I asked him out. I have Kevin and he helped. You guys helped me with everything.
Speaker A
Thanks for everything, guys. I love the Green family. Oh my gosh, she loves it so much. She's speechless. Hey, let's hear it for Gloria. Huh? Hip hip Gloria.
Speaker A
HIP HIP GLORIA. GLORIA! I can't leave. What in tarnation? What's going on here, Gloria? Oh, hey fam. Just making weird country food.
Speaker A
But why shouldn't you be packing up for the big move? Oh, I'm not moving. See, I had the weirdest night, but I woke up with clarity and realized it's time I accept I'm part of the Green family. Now, if
Speaker A
you'll excuse me, it's time to serve my can. Love you, Dad. Love you, Grandma.
Speaker A
Dad. Grandma. Brother, sister, food is ready. What the heck? Picnic style. Gloria, loving the new look.
Speaker A
And the animals are eating with us. Yep. Because this is the kind of thing that Greens do.
Speaker A
It is. It should be. Hey kids, I still wanted to see you, so I thought I'd swing by.
Speaker A
Uh, how was the date, Gloria? Terrible. But that's good because now I know my true place is being part of the Green family forever.
Speaker A
You know, Gloria, a real Green would definitely stuff their pockets with mud. You're right. This is my life now.
Speaker A
We don't do that. I don't know [music] Gloria as well as y'all do, but something seems off.
Speaker A
What do you mean? She's better than ever. Howdy, sis. Uh, howdy, brother. Hey, now that you're fun, want to help me sort my raccoon bone collection?
Speaker A
Oh, you're throwing out your art stuff? Yeah. Why waste time with silly ambitions that lead to nothing? This is where I belong. Right here in this basement.
Speaker A
But what about the apartment? The apartment was so yesterday. See? I've gone over it. Besides, I have a good thing going here. I'm only successful with the Greens' help. Without them, I'll be a failure.
Speaker A
Why do I tell you my secrets? Anyway, time for bed. Bed? It's 4:00 p.m.
Speaker A
If I go to sleep, there is no more. No more what? Good night. These grits ain't it.
Speaker A
Hey, Mom. I think [music] you were right. Something is wrong with Gloria. Something on the inside, like an inside wrong. But I have a [music] plan to fix things, and I need your help.
Speaker A
Yes, I'm in. I love being part of a plan. Here's what we'll do. What? Where's all my stuff? Family, we've been robbed.
Speaker A
We weren't robbed. Your stuff's in your new apartment. I turned in your lease application. YAY. YOU WHAT? WELL, you had it all nice and signed, so I turned it in for you WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP.
Speaker A
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? When did you GET SO STRONG? [laughter] I'M GOING TO KILL YOU. [screaming] COMING THROUGH. GORI, CLOSE THAT DOOR. I am not falling for your pranks, wretched boy.
Speaker A
Gloria, let's talk about this. I thought this WAS A GOOD THING. [screaming] AREN'T YOU EXCITED TO HAVE YOUR OWN SPOT AND DO WHATEVER it is you do?
Speaker A
NO, I'M PERFECTLY HAPPY RIGHT WHERE I'M AT. CAN'T YOU TELL? But you can be even happier.
Speaker A
I'm not ready. Cricket, tell me where my stuff is so we can just go home.
Speaker A
All my stuff. It looks amazing. Cricket, did you do all this? He had a little help.
Speaker A
Nancy, we figured seeing your stuff here might help you reconsider things. [music] And don't worry, I didn't actually turn in your lease for you because that'd be illegal. But I thought about it. Well, your plan worked. I love it. But this is
Speaker A
the whole problem. Your family helps me with every major step in my life. How am I supposed to live on my own? Come on.
Speaker A
You did it before. And I failed. Because of us. A lot of your problems were our fault. Remember? We ruined your life, then we [music] fix it. It's the circle of strife.
Speaker A
I guess you're right. Okay, I'll take the place after all. Even if I have to stretch my budget.
Speaker A
Well, you know, I have been wanting to see the kids more, and it'd be nice to have a [music] place in the city that isn't a dingy basement, so I could rent your spare room. Unless that's helping too much,
Speaker A
Nancy. I would love nothing more. Finally. We've been trying to fill this vacancy for months. Leas
Speaker A
Oh. Uh, here you go. Didn't think we'd ever get rid of this place because of those neighbors.
Speaker A
OH, LOOK. IT'S GLORIA. Did it work? Yeah, it did. Whoa. Okay, Gloria. No need to yell.
Speaker A
Noisy, neighbors. Jeez. Well, this is the last box. If you get emotional, it's okay to cry.
Speaker A
Please cry. Gloria, you're moving 30 ft away now. Scadan, we got important business here.
Speaker A
Is it Bill's birthday? Much more important than that. It's farmer appreciation day. Never heard of it.
Speaker A
It's a very important holiday for Bill. And we always forget it. But this year's different.
Speaker A
Fade off the table. We got Dad the perfect gift to show him how much we appreciate him.
Speaker A
I'm a farmer man working every day. Oh, hey family. It's just your dad listening to his favorite country singer, Rusty Twang.
Speaker A
Speaking of Rusty, he's playing a show tonight in Big City on Farmer Appreciation Day of all days. Well, I'm off to the farmers market to appreciate some vegetables.
Speaker A
Rusty twang tickets. I'm guessing you guys got him Rusty TWANG TICKETS. WHAT? NO, THAT'S THE FIRST BILL'S mentioned it.
Speaker A
Fred, we already got Papa the perfect gift. Enjoy your balloons. What are balloons? Ow.
Speaker A
Ow. Wow. Look at all these balloons. Dad's going to be blown away. Oh no. Dad's getting blown away.
Speaker A
Driving in a straight line. Straight line. [screaming] A balloon. Dad, what are we going to do?
Speaker A
I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Grandma might be going [music] away for a while.
Speaker A
Oh man. You folks all right? Rusty Twang. That's me. If no one's hurt, let's check the damage. Come on, Mikey.
Speaker A
I'm Mikey. Rusty Twang is right here. You know what this means? We can ask Rusty Twang to write Dad a song for Farmer Appreciation Day.
Speaker A
A song written for Dad would be the perfect gift. Every time it plays, he'll think of how crazy appreciated he is.
Speaker A
It's ideas like this that make me forget you were dropped as a child. What?
Speaker A
Hey, Rusty. How are things looking? Not good, little man. Engine shot. Guess I'm stuck here till it's fixed.
Speaker A
You don't have to be. Come stay at our place. We're only a few blocks away.
Speaker A
You must protect your velvety larynx from this smoggy street. And we'll show you some country hospitality.
Speaker A
That's mighty kind of you. Oh, I guess it's this way. You folks sure are generous.
Speaker A
Right this way, Mr. Twain. Feel free to wander. Except right there. Termites. Dang. Bugs chewed a fat hole in the floor.
Speaker A
Oh, well, mites or not, y'all got a great place here. Oh, thank you, darling. Don't mind if I do. So buttery.
Speaker A
It's a butter. Thought I could get used to this. Well, glad to hear you say that. All the buttery spoils you see before you are the result of one man.
Speaker A
Our papa Bill Green. Father, Farmer, Courtesy Flesher. A man worthy of appreciating, and there's nothing he'd appreciate more than you writing him an original song. What do you say?
Speaker A
H songwriting can be tricky, but I do have respect for a hardworking family man. Ah, what the heck? I'll give IT A TRY.
Speaker A
YAY. [screaming] LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR old Bill. Now, let's write us a song.
Speaker A
Tractor tractor's been done. You're better than that, Rusty. Come on. Oh, farming in fields.
Speaker A
Oh, dang. I got a concert to play. Oh, but you're so close. Give up now.
Speaker A
Just a little more. Sorry, y'all. Song writing takes time and I really got to go.
Speaker A
What? Please don't wait for just a few more minutes. Come on, y'all. It's been fun, but I got a whole lot of people waiting to see me play my hits.
Speaker A
This guy is good. I got to get out of here. [snorts] That went poorly.
Speaker A
Ah, come on. It ain't that bad. Now Rusty can finish writing the song for dad. Plus, he'll thank us when the song's a hit. We're good people.
Speaker A
[groaning] Huh? Huh? [panting] What is this place? Huh? Oh, good. You're awake. Have Have you kept people down here before?
Speaker A
Yes, but she's no longer with us. Now, we're real sorry about our methods, but it's like I told you before, we can't let you leave till you write dad a song. So, can you do that for us, please?
Speaker A
Yeah, for for sure. But, uh, to make it really good, I'll need writing supplies.
Speaker A
Now, that's more like it. He's here. Mr. Twang, on behalf of Big City, I present you with a welcome basket. It's got gummies.
Speaker A
Here he comes. Hey y'all, I'm Mikey. What? Where's Rusty? I don't know. He walked off with some bumpkins while I fixed the bus.
Speaker A
You know what? I thought he'd be here. RUSTY IS MISSING. I'M ON IT, MAYOR. YOU can count on me.
Speaker A
[screaming] There, all the supplies you asked for. Don't know why you need batteries or copper wire, but who are we to question the creative process?
Speaker A
Let's do this. [music] Finished. That's one fine looking emergency transmitter. Mayday, mayday. SOS. I need Rusty. How's the song coming?
Speaker A
Oh, it's uh going great. Let's hear what you've got so far. Oh, this one's dedicated to anyone who can hear me. My name is Rusty Twang.
Speaker A
Come resue me. This ain't a metaphor. I need the police. Now, this is a bop.
Speaker A
Help. I'm locked in a basement. Wait, could this be a real call for help? This is a real call for help. I'm in that red shack next to the cafe. Oh no.
Speaker A
I'm coming, Rusty. Still kind of a bomb. And I don't want to die. [snorts] I have notes.
Speaker A
Green, open up. What did you do? Wait. Don't panic, y'all. I have an idea.
Speaker A
I know you're in there. Open up. Come on. You're being rude. Keys. What are you doing here?
Speaker A
I believe my six string prince, Rusty Twang, is being held here against his will.
Speaker A
What? No time, Bill. Rusty, where's my country angel? No one here but us greens.
Speaker A
Nobody but you greens, huh? Let's see what the man in your basement says about that.
Speaker A
Just the old water heater. H. Well, I was wrong. Sorry for the intrusion, citizens. Keys continues the hunt.
Speaker A
Mystery solved. Let's get pancakes. That's weird. The water heater does clang, but that was more of a clong.
Speaker A
[groaning] Family, why is Rusty twang taped TO OUR WATER HEATER? Because we didn't have handcuffs and we wanted him to write you a song for firmer appreciation day.
Speaker A
You were going TO FORCE MY FAVORITE COUNTRY SINGER to write a song for me?
Speaker A
I MEAN, NO. THIS IS NOT HOW WE TREAT CELEBRITIES. MR. TWANG, it's an honor. Not exactly how I pictured meeting you, but that doesn't matter now. You're free to go, Rusty.
Speaker A
Oh, no he ain't. You may be against it now, big guy, but you'll thank US WHEN THE SONG'S DONE.
Speaker A
HAPPY FARMER APPRECIATION DAY. WAIT. No offense, but your family's crazy. Oh, I know. Look, Rusty, I am so sorry about my family, but I'll do whatever it takes to get you out of here.
Speaker A
Then I promise not to press charges. What's your plan? I got an idea. One that term might work.
Speaker A
Rusty Twain declared missing. Is he dead? Maybe can be yours for 1995. Was it?
Speaker A
This is clearly an attempt to escape. Yet I cannot look away. That's it. Wait for it. Just about now.
Speaker A
Oh my gosh. Where? Quick. Can't get me. Nice catch, Rusty. Let's hit it. [screaming] Good luck at your big show tonight.
Speaker A
Rusty, don't go. We just wanted dad to feel appreciated. Please, Mr. Twang. Look, I don't condone what y'all did at all. But you love your dad so much you imprisoned a country music star. If that don't make him feel appreciated, nothing
Speaker A
will. So, can we still get tickets or We now bring you live to the Alive RUSTY TWAIN.
Speaker A
THANK YOU, BIG CITY. I KNOW HIM. We all know him. Today was the worst day of my life, so I wrote a song about it.
Speaker A
[music] Kidnapped [singing] by a country family with a weird and wicked plan. Grandma, [music] two scary kids.
Speaker A
I don't believe what I'm hearing. Rusty [music] Twang is singing about us. It's a Farmer Appreciation Day miracle. Come on family. If you're rolling through big city, be cautious and be king. Watch out for [music] the green.
Speaker A
I got sweat in my [singing] eyes. Lost a [music] bet. Bit by 100 flies. I fell out a big old tree.
Speaker A
Hit every branch and straight up [music] my knees. I got chased by dogs, licked by a frog, got a rash on my [music and singing] leg, dropped eggs. I got splitters in 7 to 10. And tomorrow [music] I'll do it all again.
