Salish & Jordan Matter (2026) s01e06 Episode Script
EVERY YEAR AS A PARENT in 24 Hours
This is my daughter, Salish,
and she thinks parenting is easy.
I'm gonna be the best parent ever.
Today, Salish will raise a child and watch
them grow up from a baby to an adult.
She'll face a challenge at every age.
- Sleepless nights.
- Rock-a-bye baby ♪
- Tantrums.
- [screaming]
Teenage drama, and even a new boyfriend.
- Have you ever cheated on a girl?
- [scoffing]
What? Mom! What are you doing?
- Seriously?
- Everything real parents deal with.
- Every time she fails, she gets a strike.
- I can't run anymore.
If she gets three strikes,
she loses and will have to parent
the world's meanest kid.
[screaming] Get out of my room!
We're about to do the gender reveal to
find out if you're raising a boy or girl.
- Are you hoping for one or the other?
- Girl. Boys are weird. Ew.
- I like this one better.
- Don't face that at me!
- Oh, jeez!
- Yay! It's a girl!
Now that you're gonna be a mom,
you can't dress like a teen.
- Ew! What is this?
- You look like a mom.
Awesome.
All I can think about is
you have no eyebrows.
They're orange, match your skin color
because of that stupid tanner.
The orange stuff is in your eyebrows.
So I'm thinking, "What the heck?"
- He thinks he looks good.
- I put on sunscreen that had toner.
Now all she can think about
is I'm wearing makeup.
It's toner. Can you tell?
Your new baby is here.
Before you meet her, pick a name.
Let me look at my baby names.
- You have baby names?
- Obviously.
- I have my baby name.
- What is it?
- Oakley.
- Oakley! Okay.
Meet your new baby, Oakley.
[gasping] So cute.
That's my granddaughter.
Not really, but one day,
I'm gonna maybe have a granddaughter.
Remember the Dad-o-Meter?
We've got a Mom-o-Meter,
and we'll know how she's feeling.
This is Oakley. She's super cute,
but about to be tired. You have
30 minutes to get her down for her nap.
Gonna give you one challenge.
Before her nap, you gotta get diapers.
Good luck.
Oh, my baby!
Can I pick you up?
Aw, come on.
Salish is gonna realize
how hard parenting is.
This is gonna be fun.
You're going pretty slow.
You have 20 minutes.
Oakley is gonna need a nap any minute.
If she starts going crazy,
you get a strike.
You gotta figure out where the diapers…
Baby stuff.
Fun thing about today is I can change
anything to make it more difficult.
For example, I can turn Oakley into twins.
- Twins?
- Twins.
I can do this any time,
but right now, I'm gonna keep one Oakley.
Just remember, I can do this any time.
I'll be over here. Good luck.
Why are there so many? We'll let her pick.
Oakley, which ones do you want?
[giggling] Touch one.
Can I have a high five? Aw. Tickle…
Aw, you're so cute. Parenting is easy.
They're chillin'. Makes me happy.
- I think she likes my hand.
- This is sweet.
I'm gonna give you an extra minute
because you're bonding.
Yay! Tickle…
I'm gonna get this one.
She likes that one. Good job!
Yay!
Getting the diapers was the easy part.
I wanna see if Salish
is able to change a diaper,
because we know how that ended last time.
[screaming]
- Ew!
- Don't show that on camera.
Ew!
Hurry. She's getting tired.
Get her in that crib.
- Where's the crib?
- Nursery upstairs.
If she gets too tired, she can get cranky
and won't be able to sleep.
If she can't sleep,
she cries, you get an X.
- Okay.
- First, get her out.
- How?
- Figure it out. There's no manual.
- Isn't this hard? Admit it.
- No.
- I'm crazy about my granddaughter.
- Can I have your arm?
- Be gentle, but fast.
- I got that. Ready?
I won't let you drop, promise. Let's go.
- Be careful.
- I know.
- Let's go.
- This is really sweet.
She's gonna be a great mom one day,
but she's not admitting it's hard.
It's only round one.
Every age is gonna get harder.
If Salish thinks this is easy, just wait.
[screaming]
Rock-a-bye, baby ♪
Rock-a-bye, baby ♪
- What?
- I'm watching on the monitor.
This is so cute.
Looking good, but she's not in the crib.
Change her diaper
and put her down for her nap.
If she doesn't fall asleep,
you're one step closer
to parenting the meanest kid.
We got this.
You wanna lie down? Ready? Yay.
If she wakes with a wet diaper, she's
gonna be upset. She's getting cranky.
Get her nap in now.
- [crying]
- It's okay. Come here.
It's okay.
Salish is gonna wanna get
Oakley down for a nap
'cause she does not wanna deal
with the world's meanest kid.
I don't need to change the diaper.
I'll do it when she wakes up.
She seems sad.
I wanna make her happy. Wanna sleep?
- Ready, set…
- Did she do the diaper that fast?
How did she… That was fast. That's crazy.
- [crying]
- Yeah, it's okay.
- [crying]
- No. Don't cry.
It's okay.
It's fine.
They're so sweet. This is crazy.
Why is she crying?
- What do I do?
- [Sandy] She needs her nap.
Whenever she goes to bed,
she starts crying.
Let's try again. Ready?
- [crying]
- Oh no. Okay.
Come on. Lock in.
She's so sweet with Oakley.
Maybe you're crying 'cause you're tired?
Sorry. I'll close the door.
Fall asleep. You can go.
[Salish] She's the cutest baby
I've ever seen.
- Adorable.
- Look how cute she is.
- Think you missed the nap?
- No.
- I think I have an idea.
- What?
- [crying]
- Where's she going?
- [crying continues]
- Hi, Oakley. Did you see that smile?
Immediately smiles
when I got here. Want this?
Okay.
You want it?
I'm a pro at this.
And bye.
Aw.
I might be a genius. That was a good idea.
Look how cute she is.
Okay, bye. Good night.
- She's falling asleep.
- Are you kidding?
- Almost asleep.
- She looks tired. That worked.
- The bottle was smart.
- I know.
You know what you're doing.
But if she doesn't fall asleep
in the next minute, you're gonna lose.
You can speak to her.
Go to sleep.
[laughing] That's… That's it?
- Sleep, go.
- You have ten seconds.
Go, sleep, go.
- And time.
- Go to bed.
Let's see.
- What?
- She's asleep.
- [laughing] It worked!
- That worked? That's crazy.
- You passed that challenge.
- I know.
Could you…
No.
Let's meet Oakley as a toddler.
[Jordan] If she was a real mom, the last
three years would've been exhausting.
- You tired?
- No.
You're exhausted. I saw it. Replay.
- She was tired.
- I was acting.
Love you, Mommy.
- Aw, she talks now?
- Yeah.
I love you too. This is kind of tiring.
Do I have a husband to help me?
- Actually, that is your next challenge.
- [cluttering]
- Your husband.
- What do I call him?
- You can call me honey.
- What? No. You're not actually my husband.
This is the first time I meet you.
I'll call you…
[crickets chirping]
- Logan?
- Yeah.
Nothing awkward about this.
[Jordan] For this challenge,
only Salish can hear me.
To everyone else,
she's arguing with herself,
which is pretty typical for Salish.
You and Logan have been arguing about
who is going to work
and who is gonna stay home.
You have five minutes to resolve that.
If you can't, you're one step closer
to having to parent the meanest kid.
- [screaming]
- That's easy.
So, I wanna work.
Do you wanna chill with her?
I've been working for ten years.
I bring in the money.
- You don't have a job.
- Ask your boss to keep paying you.
What? You gotta work to get paid.
I can ask to work from home
and he pays me.
- No! I wanna see Oakley.
- We can both see Oakley.
- I don't wanna be with you all day.
- Well…
He's your husband!
Can you believe Mom and Dad?
- Four minutes. You're not resolving it.
- I have.
- What's the solution?
- He asks his boss to pay him.
Let's see if he finds that
a good solution.
What if he fires me when I ask?
Then we have no money.
- You're losing it. Two minutes.
- Okay.
You wanna work, I wanna work,
I wanna watch Oakley.
- How about I find a remote job?
- Well…
- Okay, great.
- Easy!
- That was easy.
- Easiest challenge ever.
Salish is about to find out
it's hard to have a kid and a remote job.
Especially when you consider
Oakley is now 5.
Salish, you ready to meet
your five-year-old daughter?
Gosh, five-year-old Oakley
has so much energy.
Yes, she has.
She is about to
make life difficult for you
because you have an interview
with Mark Rober at CrunchLabs.
If you get the job, you pass.
If you don't, you get your first strike.
- Three strikes, you know what happens.
- I know.
- What happens?
- I know.
- World's meanest kid.
- I'm hungry!
[screaming]
Ready? Time for your interview.
- [screaming]
- [Jordan] Alright…
Mark, this is Salish.
She's gonna interview for the job.
- Congrats on your nomination.
- The Kids' Choice Awards. Congrats to you.
- I voted for you.
- Thank you. I voted for you.
I voted for your dad too. Oh, wait.
He wasn't nominated, was he?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I wasn't.
My name is Salish Matter.
And I'm 15. Yeah.
- You're a grown adult with a kid.
- I'm 30.
- I thought you said 15.
- No, I said 30… 15.
So, like, I'm 30 years and 15 seconds.
You'll be interviewing
as a product designer for CrunchLabs toys.
Kids rely on these
to not only be fun but educational.
- I love education.
- [screaming continues]
I've got questions to test that. Ready?
- She gotta make sure Oakley is safe.
- You're chewing gum.
- Oh, no, I wasn't.
- I saw something green in your mouth.
- I don't chew gum.
- Oakley's gonna…
Oh my gosh, don't jump on the couch.
Let's start with an easy one.
Isaac Newton has three laws.
- Which is your favorite and why?
- Law of physics.
Oh, no, law number one.
An object in motion stays in motion.
See Oakley? Jumping on the couch
in motion and staying in motion.
Get off the couch. Hold on.
- Wanna reschedule?
- No. Right now is perfect.
I'm about to make this more difficult.
I'm about to turn Oakley into twins.
[both screaming]
Look to your left.
- Why are there two?
- You have twins now.
Tell me why you're qualified for this job.
I go to school, so I feel like
that makes me qualified.
I take a physics and a chemistry class,
so I feel like that also helps.
- What's your grade in those?
- I have a 93.
- Salish!
- It can get up to 100. Hold on.
[exhaling slowly]
- Oh my gosh.
- Not everybody only parents one kid.
- Now you know how Mom and I felt.
- All right.
You're losing your opportunity.
Get back there.
- I'm back.
- We can reschedule. It's okay.
Tell me about a time
you had to balance a lot of priorities.
Right now, I'm balancing a lot.
I need this job.
I have a lot of kids. Just got another.
- How do you feel this interview's going?
- It's going amazing.
- You're an optimist.
- [screaming] Yeah.
I like that.
You have a very positive outlook.
Hold on, Mark. Sorry.
Wait, which one's Oakley?
- Two Oakleys.
- Okay.
[both] We're hungry!
On a typical work day,
is this what it'd look like?
- Never.
- This is just for interviews?
- Make a good impression?
- Exactly!
- I'm running late. One more question.
- She did not get this job.
This is what it's like parenting
and trying to work from home.
- Are you chewing gum?
- No!
- Salish, roll the tape.
- I'm not!
- I'm pretty sure you're chewing gum.
- No.
Honesty and integrity
are a big part of CrunchLabs.
I have my decision.
[loudly] Well, email me
how much money I'll get.
A lot. But it won't be yours
because we have to give the job
to someone who's more focused
and doesn't lie about gum chewing.
- What if I take my gum out?
- That ship sailed 20 minutes ago.
You're still chewing.
Interview's over. You didn't get the job.
Go apply to Feastables.
- [laughing] Feastables!
- Come back!
I don't wanna parent the meanest kid!
Looks like you're gonna. First strike.
- No!
- That was almost too much fun.
Let's see how Salish does
with 10 years old.
She looks tired, right?
It's hard, isn't it?
- You can quit and admit--
- Let's just go.
Okay. This is 10-year-old Oakley.
She's having her first sleepover
with her best friend, Emma.
Oakley!
- Emma!
- Aw.
You're the parent
that gets to make sure they're okay.
- There's one big challenge.
- What?
Emma's mother is intense
and has rules you have to follow.
This is makeup. She's too young for this.
I'm her mom.
I've allowed her to use skincare.
You sure this is skincare?
- I guarantee it.
- Okay.
I don't want them eating sweets
because they get hyper.
No spending money, no makeup.
Just wanna make sure everything goes well.
- She must have fun with you.
- She does.
I'll do all that. Come on.
- Take good care of them.
- Okay.
- Yeah, I'm not doing that.
- You have to.
If you don't follow all three rules and
the mother finds out, you get a strike.
- I know. Wanna go to the mall?
- Yeah!
- They wanna go.
- Interesting choice.
Sweets, makeup,
and lots of money to be spent at the mall.
- She might regret this.
- [shouting] Let's go shopping!
I'm saying this 'cause my dad's not here,
but I'm starting to get tired.
I'm losing them.
I'm gonna stay away and watch from here
because I wanna make it hard for her.
- Let's go to Sephora!
- Yeah!
Sephora has makeup. Oh no.
Salish is not a rule follower as a kid,
and she won't be as a mom either.
They're putting makeup on.
I need to get them.
- Let's not try anything.
- But we want makeup!
Let's go check skin care.
- I have a ton.
- Me too.
- Okay, over here.
- Look. This is such a pretty color.
This is the most fun section
you'll ever see.
Sunscreen section.
Sunscreen! Oh, what about…
Don't put that on.
You don't need foundation.
- What if we have a pimple?
- You guys are 10.
- We have pimples.
- Here…
- You don't get us.
- Yeah.
I was 10 one time too. Back in the olden
days, I was frolicking in those fields…
Where'd they go?
My story was interesting. Where'd they go?
If Salish thinks this is hard, wait until
she has to teach Oakley how to drive
'cause Salish doesn't know how.
- We want makeup.
- You can't today.
Because then I'll lose.
- [chanting] Makeup!
- Okay.
Skin care.
- Let's go to the next one.
- Aw.
This is hard. I can't imagine
what the meanest kid would be like.
I'm about to make life
difficult for Salish.
I don't think she's gonna make it.
- I'm so excited! Let's go!
- Yeah!
Are you serious?
- Can we go to Hollister?
- Okay. We can go to Hollister.
- I'll watch them from afar.
- This is awesome.
- Can we get this?
- That's too short. No!
- Mom.
- That's not gonna fit.
- Look how cool this is.
- San Francisco.
[both] San Francisco!
- Come on. Look over here.
- Oh my God.
Get! Look how cute this is.
- How you feeling?
- Amazing.
- I love this. We have to get it.
- There was a rule. No money.
- Does this cost money?
- Okay.
I'm making it more challenging.
I left a credit card hanging out
of her back pocket and told the girls.
- Is that Grandma?
- Grandma?
- Get it!
- Grandma?
- I don't see…
- What happened to your kids?
- Where'd they go?
- I don't know.
I gotta find the kids.
I think she's about to get
strike number two.
You weren't allowed to lose the kids.
- Has your daughter ever done this?
- No!
- This is nothing you'd have done.
- I miss when they were babies.
That's how parents feel.
You blink and they're ten.
- Or 15.
- I was with them… Ugh, okay.
Maybe they're in Ulta.
What if they're doing makeup?
Let's go to Ulta.
I feel like they'd like makeup.
- Oh no.
- Where is Emma?
I searched for her on my phone.
Where is she?
We need to find your daughter.
You can get mad later.
- You lost my daughter?
- I mean, I know she's in the mall.
I can't believe this.
I gotta find her on Find a Friend.
I feel bad, but parents
have to watch their kids no matter what,
and there's consequences if you don't.
- Where is she? Find her!
- It says she's in Target.
- How'd you lose her?
- She's in Target.
- You--
- She's going down.
Let me see it.
- Let's do Pink Drink.
- They're here.
- Okay. Where?
- You're asking me?
- They are 10 years old.
- We got our favorite drink.
- Let's put them down.
- Nice. There.
Put that in the cart.
Uh-huh!
- Doing my makeup in Target.
- Oh yeah!
[giggling]
- It says she's here. [gasping]
- Okay.
Where have you been?
What's that on your face? Is that sugar?
Lipstick and a sweet drink.
Emma is never sleeping
at your place again.
Okay.
Did I lose or…
I mean, I was a great parent.
I think you got a strike.
Wanna give Oakley
a lecture about running off?
No, she's perfect.
- I'd give you such a lecture.
- I know. Do I listen? No.
How'd I end up alone?
Let's see Oakley at the next stage.
This is 15-year-old Oakley.
- [sighing]
- [slamming]
Wait, what?
- Look familiar?
- No.
Moody, hood on, storming to your room?
- Never seen anything like that.
- I see it every day.
- Okay. Oh God.
- That's your daughter. Good luck.
[slamming]
Abby is an actress,
and she played Salish
in a video on Dhar Mann's channel,
and now she's playing Oakley.
Your challenge is to get Oakley
to tell you one thing about her day.
I haven't been able to
and I've known you for 15 years.
That's easy.
Getting a teenager to talk? Impossible.
Parents, you know.
You have five minutes to get her
to tell you one thing about her day.
- Easy.
- [chuckling] No, it's not.
Easy. What are you yapping about?
Got the new Rhode lip gloss, and I'm
thinking it'd be perfect for you-know-who.
- [knocking]
- Don't come in!
- Sound familiar?
- That doesn't sound familiar.
- It should.
- I let you in.
Oh! No cap! You say don't come in…
This isn't about us.
- You need to get one piece…
- [shouting] Mom! Stop!
- Go in. You're the mother.
- Okay.
- Shoes off!
- This is my house.
- This is my room.
- You have shoes on.
- My shoes are cute.
- I don't feel like taking my shoes off.
That was a real parenting moment.
I always step out and take my shoes off.
- Am I allowed to do that?
- Bruh, you cannot do that.
Let me deal with this.
- It's cool.
- [sighs] Heard of personal space?
- Anyways, how was your day today?
- Fine.
Salish hasn't admitted parenting is hard,
but I don't think it's possible
to get a kid
to talk about their day in five minutes.
- Hi, friend! How's your day?
- She's wasted one minute.
If Salish can't get Oakley to open up,
she'll have to parent
the world's meanest kid.
- Is that a new friend?
- I have a lot of friends.
We all start somewhere. How was your day?
- You asked.
- I know.
Three minutes. She's gonna run out.
- How was your day?
- Fine.
Try a different question.
- Anything you wanna eat?
- Not really.
- Sound familiar?
- Learn anything today?
[crickets chirping]
Awkward teen silence. I know it well.
If Salish can't get Oakley
to say one thing about her day,
she is one step closer
to parenting the world's meanest kid.
- Still FaceTiming?
- Ugh… I'm on mute.
- Get her to say one thing…
- I know!
- Want me to clean your room?
- Absolutely not.
Got a little bit away from you.
- You got 30 seconds.
- She's not even gonna talk to me.
You're gonna lose.
Parent getting a teen to talk? Impossible.
- You guys know.
- Any cute boys at school?
[gasping] There is!
He's in my science class.
We started talking.
Today I decided might as well ask.
I asked for a Snap and he gave it to me!
He asked me on a date.
- [screaming] I'm so excited.
- A date?
- He's gonna be here in five minutes.
- Your first date.
I know, it's so exciting.
Bye! I have to get ready.
- Salish's next challenge.
- Go! I have five minutes.
- Seriously.
- Five minutes to get ready?
- Okay.
- Thank you.
I don't know what I should do
with my hair and makeup.
The Sabrina Carpenter look?
Yes! He's popular, she's popular,
so I feel that'd be the vibe.
Oakley's date is about to arrive,
but I'm gonna tell you something.
He's hiding something.
Figure out what it is
before they go on their date.
- She's going on a date. She's 15.
- Okay.
You've raised Oakley from a baby.
15 years of experiences. Her first date.
Watch your baby go on a date.
- That's hard.
- Nope.
Wait until you see who she's dating.
If you don't figure out what he's hiding,
you get a strike.
If you get three strikes, you raise
the world's meanest kid for 24 hours.
- Hi.
- Yo, is Oakley here?
- You can come in.
- Okay.
- A hood on the first date?
- What are you wearing?
My mom didn't do my laundry,
so my options are limited.
Casual, but cute, you know?
- How do you know Oakley?
- English class.
- Remember he's hiding something.
- I'm aware.
Can you put your phone down? It's rude.
Maybe on the table.
[slamming]
- Don't be sassy.
- Is she here?
I'm not done.
- Came for a date, not an interrogation.
- Wow.
When you go on a date,
do you normally pay?
- I'm a dude, it's what you do.
- You go on a lot of dates?
I mean, just, like, when I have.
Here and there.
Three minutes. Hurry.
Ugh, my hair's a mess.
Let me brush it out.
Where are you guys going?
- [sighing] Gonna get some ice cream.
- Why are you checking your phone so much?
- Who are you texting?
- Friends.
He's hiding something big.
- Think I'm good?
- Perfect.
Okay. Wish me luck.
- Are you a good student?
- Is she here?
- Have you ever cheated on a test?
- Oh, on a test? No.
- What have you cheated on?
- Nothing.
Have you cheated on a girl?
- [scoffing] No.
- 30 seconds!
- Why do you keep checking your phone?
- What?
Mom, what are you doing? Seriously?
If they walk out the door,
you get a strike.
- Hi.
- Hey. [chuckling]
- Hi.
- Teenagers are so awkward.
Wait! Who's this?
"Are we still on for tonight?"
You're embarrassing me.
He's allowed to have friends.
It's Ava. A girl's name.
- Ava from class?
- Different Ava.
"I need to give you my hoodie back"?
- Okay, that sounds bad.
- "I miss you"?
Wait, what? Who is Ava?
It's just my cousin. She's my cousin.
Three kissing emojis?
Get out!
- Yeah!
- I don't wanna hear it.
- Okay.
- Faster, please.
- Your mom's crazy.
- I'm crazy?
- Whoa! Mom, just let him go.
- No! He's the crazy one.
- Can you believe him?
- Give her a hug. She must be sad.
- It's gonna be okay.
- Thanks.
- A real parent hug.
- It's gonna be okay.
- She won the challenge.
- I feel a lot better.
Salish is doing what parents do best,
helping Oakley move on.
But 18-year-old Oakley is moving out
for college and has to say goodbye.
Since you're going to college,
I got you something,
but keep your eyes closed.
- Eyes closed. Ready?
- Okay.
- No way!
- Yeah?
- Can I open my eyes?
- Yeah.
A car. This was my mom's,
then my brother's, my car,
and now your car.
It's a car. Thanks, Mom.
Of course.
- You're driving, so let's go.
- Okay. [chuckles]
Now Oakley is 18 years old,
and today she's moving out
to go to college.
I taught you how to drive.
I'm a good driver.
You got this. I taught you.
Here we go.
Put it in drive.
Salish taught Oakley how to drive?
That's a scary thought.
- How to turn it on?
- Press the engine start.
Salish's job is to take Oakley to college.
If she gets emotional, she loses.
Well, I'm doing it.
I'll be listening
to everything they're talking about.
- Can't believe you're going to college.
- It's all happening pretty fast.
This is gonna be me and Lauren.
Gonna be hard
to watch Salish go to college.
My first time living without you.
I wonder if I'm ready.
The actress playing Oakley has one job.
Get emotional
and make Salish get emotional.
- Could you make me a promise?
- For sure.
Can you not redecorate my room?
- Yeah, I won't.
- [sighing] Okay, cool.
We're not gonna redecorate Salish's room.
I'm gonna get emotional.
Well, I was kind of thinking
I'd use your room as a spa room,
sauna, hot yoga, you know?
If it means that much to you,
I'll keep it the same.
Are you kidding?
It's your daughter's room.
You leave it as it is, forever.
Nice to know
I'll have a place to come back home.
There's my gym!
Salish, be supportive.
You don't wanna act like you don't care.
I'm kind of nervous.
Feels like it's the end
of everything I've ever known.
I'm scared to do it without you.
Turn right here. But yeah. That's nice.
Salish has no idea,
but Oakley is gonna get
more and more emotional.
I can't believe it all went by so fast.
[Oakley] Ever since I was born,
you've been my best friend. I'm so sad.
- Tickle…
- I won't see you every day.
Love you.
- I'll miss you so much.
- It's gonna be okay.
You were there for all of it.
It's a really big day,
and I wanna say thanks for all the times
for being there for me, Mom.
That was sad.
Let's see if Salish gets emotional too.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
Gonna miss you too.
Nope.
- I love you so much, Mom.
- I love you too.
- Oh, look. We're here.
- Oh. Great.
Ooh, go college! Yeah!
Not a tear. She wasn't emotional at all.
Salish didn't get emotional,
so, so far she's passing this challenge.
The challenge doesn't stop here.
Salish has to keep it together
as she drops Oakley off
at her first day of college.
Salish's challenge is to let
her daughter go without getting emotional.
I'm feeling really nervous.
You'll be fine.
These books are heavy. Let's go.
Are you Oakley? I'm your roommate. Let me.
- Yes!
- It's so good to meet you.
We're gonna have a good time.
If you go to college,
know your parents are crying.
In four years, this is gonna be Salish.
We're gonna have a great first year.
First year of college
It's gonna be a good, good time ♪
- That's awesome.
- All righty. See you in a couple months.
Let's write another song.
Your challenge, hold it together while
you watch your daughter go to college.
You raised her for 18 years.
If you get emotional,
she's gonna feel emotion too.
She'll feel guilt and won't go.
Let her go.
- Cool.
- Didn't think you'd lose.
One more challenge. You have two strikes,
so you have to pass this.
- I do.
- It's ten years later, and Oakley is 28.
What do you think she's doing?
Maybe she's, like, a barista,
a teacher. I don't know.
[Jordan] She and her college roommate
became best friends.
They started a band together,
and now Oakley is a pop star.
- Oh my gosh, Oakley, what's up?
- Hey.
Always wanted to meet you.
- That's Will Roberts, the paparazzi guy.
- How's it going?
[camera clicking]
- Are you on tour?
- Oakley!
Can I get a selfie?
I've seen you on tour so much times.
Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
Nice to meet you.
- Aw.
- Wow.
Quick question. How'd this happen?
I owe everything to my mom.
I'm gonna go see her.
- Nice to see you.
- You too. Later.
She's gonna ask a question,
and the answer you give her
will determine whether you've passed.
If you get your third strike,
you parent the world's meanest kid.
- Oh my gosh, Mom!
- Hi!
- You're famous, pretty, and my daughter?
- Yeah. Thank you for everything.
Our shows sold out.
I'm excited because we're extending it
two more weeks.
I have a favor to ask. Think you could
watch my son for a couple weeks?
Your final challenge.
Will you give up your free time
and take care of your grandson, or say no?
Your decision determines
whether you pass this day.
Um…
Please.
- Yeah, of course.
- Yay! Thank you.
- Did I win?
- Yes. Good work!
That was the right decision.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
Honey, come.
Grammy's gonna take care of you.
- Grammy?
- [shouting] What, Mom?
[Salish] The world's meanest kid
is my grandson?
I don't wanna live with stupid Granny!
Look, I don't have a bedtime,
I eat what I want,
and quite frankly, I hate you!
- We're working on it. Thank you so much.
- Of course. Bye.
I won.
I shouldn't have to put up with this.
If she'd lost,
she had to parent the kid for 24 hours.
Now she has to do it for two weeks.
I'm gonna go watch the tour.
- Have fun! Bye! Oakley!
- Dad!
- Dad!
- Oakley!
- Dad!
- You got this!
I got this.
Where's my pizza?
and she thinks parenting is easy.
I'm gonna be the best parent ever.
Today, Salish will raise a child and watch
them grow up from a baby to an adult.
She'll face a challenge at every age.
- Sleepless nights.
- Rock-a-bye baby ♪
- Tantrums.
- [screaming]
Teenage drama, and even a new boyfriend.
- Have you ever cheated on a girl?
- [scoffing]
What? Mom! What are you doing?
- Seriously?
- Everything real parents deal with.
- Every time she fails, she gets a strike.
- I can't run anymore.
If she gets three strikes,
she loses and will have to parent
the world's meanest kid.
[screaming] Get out of my room!
We're about to do the gender reveal to
find out if you're raising a boy or girl.
- Are you hoping for one or the other?
- Girl. Boys are weird. Ew.
- I like this one better.
- Don't face that at me!
- Oh, jeez!
- Yay! It's a girl!
Now that you're gonna be a mom,
you can't dress like a teen.
- Ew! What is this?
- You look like a mom.
Awesome.
All I can think about is
you have no eyebrows.
They're orange, match your skin color
because of that stupid tanner.
The orange stuff is in your eyebrows.
So I'm thinking, "What the heck?"
- He thinks he looks good.
- I put on sunscreen that had toner.
Now all she can think about
is I'm wearing makeup.
It's toner. Can you tell?
Your new baby is here.
Before you meet her, pick a name.
Let me look at my baby names.
- You have baby names?
- Obviously.
- I have my baby name.
- What is it?
- Oakley.
- Oakley! Okay.
Meet your new baby, Oakley.
[gasping] So cute.
That's my granddaughter.
Not really, but one day,
I'm gonna maybe have a granddaughter.
Remember the Dad-o-Meter?
We've got a Mom-o-Meter,
and we'll know how she's feeling.
This is Oakley. She's super cute,
but about to be tired. You have
30 minutes to get her down for her nap.
Gonna give you one challenge.
Before her nap, you gotta get diapers.
Good luck.
Oh, my baby!
Can I pick you up?
Aw, come on.
Salish is gonna realize
how hard parenting is.
This is gonna be fun.
You're going pretty slow.
You have 20 minutes.
Oakley is gonna need a nap any minute.
If she starts going crazy,
you get a strike.
You gotta figure out where the diapers…
Baby stuff.
Fun thing about today is I can change
anything to make it more difficult.
For example, I can turn Oakley into twins.
- Twins?
- Twins.
I can do this any time,
but right now, I'm gonna keep one Oakley.
Just remember, I can do this any time.
I'll be over here. Good luck.
Why are there so many? We'll let her pick.
Oakley, which ones do you want?
[giggling] Touch one.
Can I have a high five? Aw. Tickle…
Aw, you're so cute. Parenting is easy.
They're chillin'. Makes me happy.
- I think she likes my hand.
- This is sweet.
I'm gonna give you an extra minute
because you're bonding.
Yay! Tickle…
I'm gonna get this one.
She likes that one. Good job!
Yay!
Getting the diapers was the easy part.
I wanna see if Salish
is able to change a diaper,
because we know how that ended last time.
[screaming]
- Ew!
- Don't show that on camera.
Ew!
Hurry. She's getting tired.
Get her in that crib.
- Where's the crib?
- Nursery upstairs.
If she gets too tired, she can get cranky
and won't be able to sleep.
If she can't sleep,
she cries, you get an X.
- Okay.
- First, get her out.
- How?
- Figure it out. There's no manual.
- Isn't this hard? Admit it.
- No.
- I'm crazy about my granddaughter.
- Can I have your arm?
- Be gentle, but fast.
- I got that. Ready?
I won't let you drop, promise. Let's go.
- Be careful.
- I know.
- Let's go.
- This is really sweet.
She's gonna be a great mom one day,
but she's not admitting it's hard.
It's only round one.
Every age is gonna get harder.
If Salish thinks this is easy, just wait.
[screaming]
Rock-a-bye, baby ♪
Rock-a-bye, baby ♪
- What?
- I'm watching on the monitor.
This is so cute.
Looking good, but she's not in the crib.
Change her diaper
and put her down for her nap.
If she doesn't fall asleep,
you're one step closer
to parenting the meanest kid.
We got this.
You wanna lie down? Ready? Yay.
If she wakes with a wet diaper, she's
gonna be upset. She's getting cranky.
Get her nap in now.
- [crying]
- It's okay. Come here.
It's okay.
Salish is gonna wanna get
Oakley down for a nap
'cause she does not wanna deal
with the world's meanest kid.
I don't need to change the diaper.
I'll do it when she wakes up.
She seems sad.
I wanna make her happy. Wanna sleep?
- Ready, set…
- Did she do the diaper that fast?
How did she… That was fast. That's crazy.
- [crying]
- Yeah, it's okay.
- [crying]
- No. Don't cry.
It's okay.
It's fine.
They're so sweet. This is crazy.
Why is she crying?
- What do I do?
- [Sandy] She needs her nap.
Whenever she goes to bed,
she starts crying.
Let's try again. Ready?
- [crying]
- Oh no. Okay.
Come on. Lock in.
She's so sweet with Oakley.
Maybe you're crying 'cause you're tired?
Sorry. I'll close the door.
Fall asleep. You can go.
[Salish] She's the cutest baby
I've ever seen.
- Adorable.
- Look how cute she is.
- Think you missed the nap?
- No.
- I think I have an idea.
- What?
- [crying]
- Where's she going?
- [crying continues]
- Hi, Oakley. Did you see that smile?
Immediately smiles
when I got here. Want this?
Okay.
You want it?
I'm a pro at this.
And bye.
Aw.
I might be a genius. That was a good idea.
Look how cute she is.
Okay, bye. Good night.
- She's falling asleep.
- Are you kidding?
- Almost asleep.
- She looks tired. That worked.
- The bottle was smart.
- I know.
You know what you're doing.
But if she doesn't fall asleep
in the next minute, you're gonna lose.
You can speak to her.
Go to sleep.
[laughing] That's… That's it?
- Sleep, go.
- You have ten seconds.
Go, sleep, go.
- And time.
- Go to bed.
Let's see.
- What?
- She's asleep.
- [laughing] It worked!
- That worked? That's crazy.
- You passed that challenge.
- I know.
Could you…
No.
Let's meet Oakley as a toddler.
[Jordan] If she was a real mom, the last
three years would've been exhausting.
- You tired?
- No.
You're exhausted. I saw it. Replay.
- She was tired.
- I was acting.
Love you, Mommy.
- Aw, she talks now?
- Yeah.
I love you too. This is kind of tiring.
Do I have a husband to help me?
- Actually, that is your next challenge.
- [cluttering]
- Your husband.
- What do I call him?
- You can call me honey.
- What? No. You're not actually my husband.
This is the first time I meet you.
I'll call you…
[crickets chirping]
- Logan?
- Yeah.
Nothing awkward about this.
[Jordan] For this challenge,
only Salish can hear me.
To everyone else,
she's arguing with herself,
which is pretty typical for Salish.
You and Logan have been arguing about
who is going to work
and who is gonna stay home.
You have five minutes to resolve that.
If you can't, you're one step closer
to having to parent the meanest kid.
- [screaming]
- That's easy.
So, I wanna work.
Do you wanna chill with her?
I've been working for ten years.
I bring in the money.
- You don't have a job.
- Ask your boss to keep paying you.
What? You gotta work to get paid.
I can ask to work from home
and he pays me.
- No! I wanna see Oakley.
- We can both see Oakley.
- I don't wanna be with you all day.
- Well…
He's your husband!
Can you believe Mom and Dad?
- Four minutes. You're not resolving it.
- I have.
- What's the solution?
- He asks his boss to pay him.
Let's see if he finds that
a good solution.
What if he fires me when I ask?
Then we have no money.
- You're losing it. Two minutes.
- Okay.
You wanna work, I wanna work,
I wanna watch Oakley.
- How about I find a remote job?
- Well…
- Okay, great.
- Easy!
- That was easy.
- Easiest challenge ever.
Salish is about to find out
it's hard to have a kid and a remote job.
Especially when you consider
Oakley is now 5.
Salish, you ready to meet
your five-year-old daughter?
Gosh, five-year-old Oakley
has so much energy.
Yes, she has.
She is about to
make life difficult for you
because you have an interview
with Mark Rober at CrunchLabs.
If you get the job, you pass.
If you don't, you get your first strike.
- Three strikes, you know what happens.
- I know.
- What happens?
- I know.
- World's meanest kid.
- I'm hungry!
[screaming]
Ready? Time for your interview.
- [screaming]
- [Jordan] Alright…
Mark, this is Salish.
She's gonna interview for the job.
- Congrats on your nomination.
- The Kids' Choice Awards. Congrats to you.
- I voted for you.
- Thank you. I voted for you.
I voted for your dad too. Oh, wait.
He wasn't nominated, was he?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I wasn't.
My name is Salish Matter.
And I'm 15. Yeah.
- You're a grown adult with a kid.
- I'm 30.
- I thought you said 15.
- No, I said 30… 15.
So, like, I'm 30 years and 15 seconds.
You'll be interviewing
as a product designer for CrunchLabs toys.
Kids rely on these
to not only be fun but educational.
- I love education.
- [screaming continues]
I've got questions to test that. Ready?
- She gotta make sure Oakley is safe.
- You're chewing gum.
- Oh, no, I wasn't.
- I saw something green in your mouth.
- I don't chew gum.
- Oakley's gonna…
Oh my gosh, don't jump on the couch.
Let's start with an easy one.
Isaac Newton has three laws.
- Which is your favorite and why?
- Law of physics.
Oh, no, law number one.
An object in motion stays in motion.
See Oakley? Jumping on the couch
in motion and staying in motion.
Get off the couch. Hold on.
- Wanna reschedule?
- No. Right now is perfect.
I'm about to make this more difficult.
I'm about to turn Oakley into twins.
[both screaming]
Look to your left.
- Why are there two?
- You have twins now.
Tell me why you're qualified for this job.
I go to school, so I feel like
that makes me qualified.
I take a physics and a chemistry class,
so I feel like that also helps.
- What's your grade in those?
- I have a 93.
- Salish!
- It can get up to 100. Hold on.
[exhaling slowly]
- Oh my gosh.
- Not everybody only parents one kid.
- Now you know how Mom and I felt.
- All right.
You're losing your opportunity.
Get back there.
- I'm back.
- We can reschedule. It's okay.
Tell me about a time
you had to balance a lot of priorities.
Right now, I'm balancing a lot.
I need this job.
I have a lot of kids. Just got another.
- How do you feel this interview's going?
- It's going amazing.
- You're an optimist.
- [screaming] Yeah.
I like that.
You have a very positive outlook.
Hold on, Mark. Sorry.
Wait, which one's Oakley?
- Two Oakleys.
- Okay.
[both] We're hungry!
On a typical work day,
is this what it'd look like?
- Never.
- This is just for interviews?
- Make a good impression?
- Exactly!
- I'm running late. One more question.
- She did not get this job.
This is what it's like parenting
and trying to work from home.
- Are you chewing gum?
- No!
- Salish, roll the tape.
- I'm not!
- I'm pretty sure you're chewing gum.
- No.
Honesty and integrity
are a big part of CrunchLabs.
I have my decision.
[loudly] Well, email me
how much money I'll get.
A lot. But it won't be yours
because we have to give the job
to someone who's more focused
and doesn't lie about gum chewing.
- What if I take my gum out?
- That ship sailed 20 minutes ago.
You're still chewing.
Interview's over. You didn't get the job.
Go apply to Feastables.
- [laughing] Feastables!
- Come back!
I don't wanna parent the meanest kid!
Looks like you're gonna. First strike.
- No!
- That was almost too much fun.
Let's see how Salish does
with 10 years old.
She looks tired, right?
It's hard, isn't it?
- You can quit and admit--
- Let's just go.
Okay. This is 10-year-old Oakley.
She's having her first sleepover
with her best friend, Emma.
Oakley!
- Emma!
- Aw.
You're the parent
that gets to make sure they're okay.
- There's one big challenge.
- What?
Emma's mother is intense
and has rules you have to follow.
This is makeup. She's too young for this.
I'm her mom.
I've allowed her to use skincare.
You sure this is skincare?
- I guarantee it.
- Okay.
I don't want them eating sweets
because they get hyper.
No spending money, no makeup.
Just wanna make sure everything goes well.
- She must have fun with you.
- She does.
I'll do all that. Come on.
- Take good care of them.
- Okay.
- Yeah, I'm not doing that.
- You have to.
If you don't follow all three rules and
the mother finds out, you get a strike.
- I know. Wanna go to the mall?
- Yeah!
- They wanna go.
- Interesting choice.
Sweets, makeup,
and lots of money to be spent at the mall.
- She might regret this.
- [shouting] Let's go shopping!
I'm saying this 'cause my dad's not here,
but I'm starting to get tired.
I'm losing them.
I'm gonna stay away and watch from here
because I wanna make it hard for her.
- Let's go to Sephora!
- Yeah!
Sephora has makeup. Oh no.
Salish is not a rule follower as a kid,
and she won't be as a mom either.
They're putting makeup on.
I need to get them.
- Let's not try anything.
- But we want makeup!
Let's go check skin care.
- I have a ton.
- Me too.
- Okay, over here.
- Look. This is such a pretty color.
This is the most fun section
you'll ever see.
Sunscreen section.
Sunscreen! Oh, what about…
Don't put that on.
You don't need foundation.
- What if we have a pimple?
- You guys are 10.
- We have pimples.
- Here…
- You don't get us.
- Yeah.
I was 10 one time too. Back in the olden
days, I was frolicking in those fields…
Where'd they go?
My story was interesting. Where'd they go?
If Salish thinks this is hard, wait until
she has to teach Oakley how to drive
'cause Salish doesn't know how.
- We want makeup.
- You can't today.
Because then I'll lose.
- [chanting] Makeup!
- Okay.
Skin care.
- Let's go to the next one.
- Aw.
This is hard. I can't imagine
what the meanest kid would be like.
I'm about to make life
difficult for Salish.
I don't think she's gonna make it.
- I'm so excited! Let's go!
- Yeah!
Are you serious?
- Can we go to Hollister?
- Okay. We can go to Hollister.
- I'll watch them from afar.
- This is awesome.
- Can we get this?
- That's too short. No!
- Mom.
- That's not gonna fit.
- Look how cool this is.
- San Francisco.
[both] San Francisco!
- Come on. Look over here.
- Oh my God.
Get! Look how cute this is.
- How you feeling?
- Amazing.
- I love this. We have to get it.
- There was a rule. No money.
- Does this cost money?
- Okay.
I'm making it more challenging.
I left a credit card hanging out
of her back pocket and told the girls.
- Is that Grandma?
- Grandma?
- Get it!
- Grandma?
- I don't see…
- What happened to your kids?
- Where'd they go?
- I don't know.
I gotta find the kids.
I think she's about to get
strike number two.
You weren't allowed to lose the kids.
- Has your daughter ever done this?
- No!
- This is nothing you'd have done.
- I miss when they were babies.
That's how parents feel.
You blink and they're ten.
- Or 15.
- I was with them… Ugh, okay.
Maybe they're in Ulta.
What if they're doing makeup?
Let's go to Ulta.
I feel like they'd like makeup.
- Oh no.
- Where is Emma?
I searched for her on my phone.
Where is she?
We need to find your daughter.
You can get mad later.
- You lost my daughter?
- I mean, I know she's in the mall.
I can't believe this.
I gotta find her on Find a Friend.
I feel bad, but parents
have to watch their kids no matter what,
and there's consequences if you don't.
- Where is she? Find her!
- It says she's in Target.
- How'd you lose her?
- She's in Target.
- You--
- She's going down.
Let me see it.
- Let's do Pink Drink.
- They're here.
- Okay. Where?
- You're asking me?
- They are 10 years old.
- We got our favorite drink.
- Let's put them down.
- Nice. There.
Put that in the cart.
Uh-huh!
- Doing my makeup in Target.
- Oh yeah!
[giggling]
- It says she's here. [gasping]
- Okay.
Where have you been?
What's that on your face? Is that sugar?
Lipstick and a sweet drink.
Emma is never sleeping
at your place again.
Okay.
Did I lose or…
I mean, I was a great parent.
I think you got a strike.
Wanna give Oakley
a lecture about running off?
No, she's perfect.
- I'd give you such a lecture.
- I know. Do I listen? No.
How'd I end up alone?
Let's see Oakley at the next stage.
This is 15-year-old Oakley.
- [sighing]
- [slamming]
Wait, what?
- Look familiar?
- No.
Moody, hood on, storming to your room?
- Never seen anything like that.
- I see it every day.
- Okay. Oh God.
- That's your daughter. Good luck.
[slamming]
Abby is an actress,
and she played Salish
in a video on Dhar Mann's channel,
and now she's playing Oakley.
Your challenge is to get Oakley
to tell you one thing about her day.
I haven't been able to
and I've known you for 15 years.
That's easy.
Getting a teenager to talk? Impossible.
Parents, you know.
You have five minutes to get her
to tell you one thing about her day.
- Easy.
- [chuckling] No, it's not.
Easy. What are you yapping about?
Got the new Rhode lip gloss, and I'm
thinking it'd be perfect for you-know-who.
- [knocking]
- Don't come in!
- Sound familiar?
- That doesn't sound familiar.
- It should.
- I let you in.
Oh! No cap! You say don't come in…
This isn't about us.
- You need to get one piece…
- [shouting] Mom! Stop!
- Go in. You're the mother.
- Okay.
- Shoes off!
- This is my house.
- This is my room.
- You have shoes on.
- My shoes are cute.
- I don't feel like taking my shoes off.
That was a real parenting moment.
I always step out and take my shoes off.
- Am I allowed to do that?
- Bruh, you cannot do that.
Let me deal with this.
- It's cool.
- [sighs] Heard of personal space?
- Anyways, how was your day today?
- Fine.
Salish hasn't admitted parenting is hard,
but I don't think it's possible
to get a kid
to talk about their day in five minutes.
- Hi, friend! How's your day?
- She's wasted one minute.
If Salish can't get Oakley to open up,
she'll have to parent
the world's meanest kid.
- Is that a new friend?
- I have a lot of friends.
We all start somewhere. How was your day?
- You asked.
- I know.
Three minutes. She's gonna run out.
- How was your day?
- Fine.
Try a different question.
- Anything you wanna eat?
- Not really.
- Sound familiar?
- Learn anything today?
[crickets chirping]
Awkward teen silence. I know it well.
If Salish can't get Oakley
to say one thing about her day,
she is one step closer
to parenting the world's meanest kid.
- Still FaceTiming?
- Ugh… I'm on mute.
- Get her to say one thing…
- I know!
- Want me to clean your room?
- Absolutely not.
Got a little bit away from you.
- You got 30 seconds.
- She's not even gonna talk to me.
You're gonna lose.
Parent getting a teen to talk? Impossible.
- You guys know.
- Any cute boys at school?
[gasping] There is!
He's in my science class.
We started talking.
Today I decided might as well ask.
I asked for a Snap and he gave it to me!
He asked me on a date.
- [screaming] I'm so excited.
- A date?
- He's gonna be here in five minutes.
- Your first date.
I know, it's so exciting.
Bye! I have to get ready.
- Salish's next challenge.
- Go! I have five minutes.
- Seriously.
- Five minutes to get ready?
- Okay.
- Thank you.
I don't know what I should do
with my hair and makeup.
The Sabrina Carpenter look?
Yes! He's popular, she's popular,
so I feel that'd be the vibe.
Oakley's date is about to arrive,
but I'm gonna tell you something.
He's hiding something.
Figure out what it is
before they go on their date.
- She's going on a date. She's 15.
- Okay.
You've raised Oakley from a baby.
15 years of experiences. Her first date.
Watch your baby go on a date.
- That's hard.
- Nope.
Wait until you see who she's dating.
If you don't figure out what he's hiding,
you get a strike.
If you get three strikes, you raise
the world's meanest kid for 24 hours.
- Hi.
- Yo, is Oakley here?
- You can come in.
- Okay.
- A hood on the first date?
- What are you wearing?
My mom didn't do my laundry,
so my options are limited.
Casual, but cute, you know?
- How do you know Oakley?
- English class.
- Remember he's hiding something.
- I'm aware.
Can you put your phone down? It's rude.
Maybe on the table.
[slamming]
- Don't be sassy.
- Is she here?
I'm not done.
- Came for a date, not an interrogation.
- Wow.
When you go on a date,
do you normally pay?
- I'm a dude, it's what you do.
- You go on a lot of dates?
I mean, just, like, when I have.
Here and there.
Three minutes. Hurry.
Ugh, my hair's a mess.
Let me brush it out.
Where are you guys going?
- [sighing] Gonna get some ice cream.
- Why are you checking your phone so much?
- Who are you texting?
- Friends.
He's hiding something big.
- Think I'm good?
- Perfect.
Okay. Wish me luck.
- Are you a good student?
- Is she here?
- Have you ever cheated on a test?
- Oh, on a test? No.
- What have you cheated on?
- Nothing.
Have you cheated on a girl?
- [scoffing] No.
- 30 seconds!
- Why do you keep checking your phone?
- What?
Mom, what are you doing? Seriously?
If they walk out the door,
you get a strike.
- Hi.
- Hey. [chuckling]
- Hi.
- Teenagers are so awkward.
Wait! Who's this?
"Are we still on for tonight?"
You're embarrassing me.
He's allowed to have friends.
It's Ava. A girl's name.
- Ava from class?
- Different Ava.
"I need to give you my hoodie back"?
- Okay, that sounds bad.
- "I miss you"?
Wait, what? Who is Ava?
It's just my cousin. She's my cousin.
Three kissing emojis?
Get out!
- Yeah!
- I don't wanna hear it.
- Okay.
- Faster, please.
- Your mom's crazy.
- I'm crazy?
- Whoa! Mom, just let him go.
- No! He's the crazy one.
- Can you believe him?
- Give her a hug. She must be sad.
- It's gonna be okay.
- Thanks.
- A real parent hug.
- It's gonna be okay.
- She won the challenge.
- I feel a lot better.
Salish is doing what parents do best,
helping Oakley move on.
But 18-year-old Oakley is moving out
for college and has to say goodbye.
Since you're going to college,
I got you something,
but keep your eyes closed.
- Eyes closed. Ready?
- Okay.
- No way!
- Yeah?
- Can I open my eyes?
- Yeah.
A car. This was my mom's,
then my brother's, my car,
and now your car.
It's a car. Thanks, Mom.
Of course.
- You're driving, so let's go.
- Okay. [chuckles]
Now Oakley is 18 years old,
and today she's moving out
to go to college.
I taught you how to drive.
I'm a good driver.
You got this. I taught you.
Here we go.
Put it in drive.
Salish taught Oakley how to drive?
That's a scary thought.
- How to turn it on?
- Press the engine start.
Salish's job is to take Oakley to college.
If she gets emotional, she loses.
Well, I'm doing it.
I'll be listening
to everything they're talking about.
- Can't believe you're going to college.
- It's all happening pretty fast.
This is gonna be me and Lauren.
Gonna be hard
to watch Salish go to college.
My first time living without you.
I wonder if I'm ready.
The actress playing Oakley has one job.
Get emotional
and make Salish get emotional.
- Could you make me a promise?
- For sure.
Can you not redecorate my room?
- Yeah, I won't.
- [sighing] Okay, cool.
We're not gonna redecorate Salish's room.
I'm gonna get emotional.
Well, I was kind of thinking
I'd use your room as a spa room,
sauna, hot yoga, you know?
If it means that much to you,
I'll keep it the same.
Are you kidding?
It's your daughter's room.
You leave it as it is, forever.
Nice to know
I'll have a place to come back home.
There's my gym!
Salish, be supportive.
You don't wanna act like you don't care.
I'm kind of nervous.
Feels like it's the end
of everything I've ever known.
I'm scared to do it without you.
Turn right here. But yeah. That's nice.
Salish has no idea,
but Oakley is gonna get
more and more emotional.
I can't believe it all went by so fast.
[Oakley] Ever since I was born,
you've been my best friend. I'm so sad.
- Tickle…
- I won't see you every day.
Love you.
- I'll miss you so much.
- It's gonna be okay.
You were there for all of it.
It's a really big day,
and I wanna say thanks for all the times
for being there for me, Mom.
That was sad.
Let's see if Salish gets emotional too.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
Gonna miss you too.
Nope.
- I love you so much, Mom.
- I love you too.
- Oh, look. We're here.
- Oh. Great.
Ooh, go college! Yeah!
Not a tear. She wasn't emotional at all.
Salish didn't get emotional,
so, so far she's passing this challenge.
The challenge doesn't stop here.
Salish has to keep it together
as she drops Oakley off
at her first day of college.
Salish's challenge is to let
her daughter go without getting emotional.
I'm feeling really nervous.
You'll be fine.
These books are heavy. Let's go.
Are you Oakley? I'm your roommate. Let me.
- Yes!
- It's so good to meet you.
We're gonna have a good time.
If you go to college,
know your parents are crying.
In four years, this is gonna be Salish.
We're gonna have a great first year.
First year of college
It's gonna be a good, good time ♪
- That's awesome.
- All righty. See you in a couple months.
Let's write another song.
Your challenge, hold it together while
you watch your daughter go to college.
You raised her for 18 years.
If you get emotional,
she's gonna feel emotion too.
She'll feel guilt and won't go.
Let her go.
- Cool.
- Didn't think you'd lose.
One more challenge. You have two strikes,
so you have to pass this.
- I do.
- It's ten years later, and Oakley is 28.
What do you think she's doing?
Maybe she's, like, a barista,
a teacher. I don't know.
[Jordan] She and her college roommate
became best friends.
They started a band together,
and now Oakley is a pop star.
- Oh my gosh, Oakley, what's up?
- Hey.
Always wanted to meet you.
- That's Will Roberts, the paparazzi guy.
- How's it going?
[camera clicking]
- Are you on tour?
- Oakley!
Can I get a selfie?
I've seen you on tour so much times.
Oh, thank you, sweetheart.
Nice to meet you.
- Aw.
- Wow.
Quick question. How'd this happen?
I owe everything to my mom.
I'm gonna go see her.
- Nice to see you.
- You too. Later.
She's gonna ask a question,
and the answer you give her
will determine whether you've passed.
If you get your third strike,
you parent the world's meanest kid.
- Oh my gosh, Mom!
- Hi!
- You're famous, pretty, and my daughter?
- Yeah. Thank you for everything.
Our shows sold out.
I'm excited because we're extending it
two more weeks.
I have a favor to ask. Think you could
watch my son for a couple weeks?
Your final challenge.
Will you give up your free time
and take care of your grandson, or say no?
Your decision determines
whether you pass this day.
Um…
Please.
- Yeah, of course.
- Yay! Thank you.
- Did I win?
- Yes. Good work!
That was the right decision.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
Honey, come.
Grammy's gonna take care of you.
- Grammy?
- [shouting] What, Mom?
[Salish] The world's meanest kid
is my grandson?
I don't wanna live with stupid Granny!
Look, I don't have a bedtime,
I eat what I want,
and quite frankly, I hate you!
- We're working on it. Thank you so much.
- Of course. Bye.
I won.
I shouldn't have to put up with this.
If she'd lost,
she had to parent the kid for 24 hours.
Now she has to do it for two weeks.
I'm gonna go watch the tour.
- Have fun! Bye! Oakley!
- Dad!
- Dad!
- Oakley!
- Dad!
- You got this!
I got this.
Where's my pizza?
