[dramatic music playing]
[intriguing music playing]
I'm undercover
[laughs]
outside of the Brooks' house
waiting for them to leave,
so we can secretly renovate
their house while they're out.
Oh! And the entire team
is also undercover.
[man 1 on radio] Do your thing.
Standby. Looking. Looking.
[man 2 on radio] Go, Paige.
[Crystal] Come on, guys. Let's go.
-[Alfred] Ready to go to Auntie Amber's?
-[Crystal] Come on.
Here they come.
[man on radio] Here we go.
[Crystal] Make sure
your brother gets in the car.
[Danielle] Act normal. Act normal.
-[Crystal] You gotta get in the back.
-[indistinct chatter]
[Crystal] All right. Let's do it.
Yeah, yeah.
[Alfred] What are you
looking forward to playing?
-[Christian] Probably soccer.
-[Alfred] Soccer?
[Christian] Oh, look at that car.
[Danielle] Hello! Yes! Have a nice day.
Yes, thank you. Thank you.
Roll out. Roll out. Here we go. [laughing]
Shoot! I'm knocking stuff over.
Let's go! Let's go!
Let's move. Let's do this thing.
Let's move this baby.
Let's get this convoy moving.
Come on, team!
[Adair on radio] We're moving, man.
We're moving.
[Erik] Come on! Let's make it happen.
We are about to do
the biggest outdoor renovation
Of all time! ♪
-Let's go!
-[Erik] Let's go.
-[Danielle] Here we go.
-[all clamoring]
["All Fired Up" by Blues Saraceno playing]
[Nick] This backyard.
This is the biggest outdoor space
we've ever taken on.
Let's do this!
["All Fired Up" continues]
Coming up easy, baby.
[Nick] It's a lot of vines today.
There we go.
I feel like I don't really know
if I'm standing in the living room,
dining room, family room.
-Doesn't make sense to me.
-No.
It's the living-dining-family-office.
-It's a hybrid. It's all the things.
-[Adair] It's a hybrid.
[Nick] Every inch of this space
has to get done right now.
My name is Amber and
I'd like to nominate the Brooks family.
[both] Hi, we're the Brooks family.
Oh, I just got hit in the testes.
[all laugh]
[Amber] They're such a loving
and deserving family,
and honestly
they deserve the entire world.
This is my husband, Alfred Brooks.
I am Crystal Brooks.
We have two kids.
Five-year-old is Christian,
who is the life of the party.
-Hi, Christian.
-Hi.
Then our 15-year-old is Bryce,
who's just as cool as he wants to be.
Each one of them,
they are all special in their own right.
I work with Al as a teacher.
I think in about 20 years,
he'll still be known
as the most loved teacher at the school.
I'm a high school economics teacher.
What makes me different than most teachers
is that I have normalized
urban and hip-hop culture.
So I use social media,
whether I'm blogging
or shooting music videos.
I'mma teach y'all about politics ♪
All three branches of government ♪
[Alfred] It made it a safe place
for urban students
to really use hip-hop culture to learn.
I'mma keep
The whole thing neutral though ♪
This is the brother I never wanted,
and you know what? Mom likes me more.
Oh! That's actually true.
[Amber] So, Crystal is a nurse,
amazing woman, amazing wife, amazing mom,
always giving her all
so that her family can have the best.
Then you just gonna spin it over.
Yeah! Good!
I got into the field of nursing
because I had a mother
who suffered from breast cancer
for four and a half years,
and I saw the amazing, amazing impact
from nurses who touched us daily.
They're a very much loving,
put-together couple,
and the house
does not reflect that at all.
-I need a sanctuary. Help me.
-[laughs]
We bought this house in 2011.
It was a foreclosure.
We've always been so busy that,
truly, we haven't had the opportunity
or the ability to make it
look like the home it deserves to be.
[Crystal] First-time home buyers,
you buy the house, "Oh, this is great."
Then you have one problem you have to fix,
and another problem, gotta fix that
There have been moments of just
a feeling of failure when it comes
to being able to maintain the home.
[Alfred] This is my paint job.
[Crystal] This is the yard
that no one gets to play in.
We have so much space out back,
but the back porch is falling apart.
It's deteriorating.
The backyard is not what we need it to be.
We have to stay up here.
It's not safe to go down the steps.
The panic of them going down
the stairs is terrifying.
This is Christian's outdoor play space.
Bryce shoots basketball.
Christian plays in his homemade sandbox.
[Alfred] We try our best
to take care of the home as best we can,
but sometimes the repairs
get a little bit beyond your reach
and beyond your means.
[Christian] Oh! Not cool.
[Crystal] We want our kids
to be able to enjoy this home,
to be able to say, "Wow, this is
what we've been blessed to grow up in."
Did you see that?
They deserve this so much.
So please change their lives.
[Adair] Love this family.
Wow. We all had one teacher
that we'll just never forget.
-And let's not forget his beautiful wife.
-[Paige] Right.
And her being a nurse, my mom was a nurse,
and I see how hard they work,
and how they take care of people.
-Right?
-[Nick] I'll be honest.
I think the house isn't that bad.
It needs a couple fixes here and there,
but it does not reflect how stylish
and cool that they are as a family.
-[Paige] Right?
-So let's start from the beginning.
-Out front, Nick.
-The big thing for the exterior is paint.
I consulted with Adair.
Adair's got a cool new vision
for this front of the house.
When you pull up to the house,
the house should say,
"We're young. We're fresh."
Now, we go with a black house,
and then we also do a pop of color
on the door and we make it yellow.
On the inside, it looks really beige.
We're gonna bring in some color,
and delineate the space,
give them an actual living room,
an actual dining room,
and an office.
-[Erik] Into it.
-[Paige] Awesome.
That's it for the interior.
We get to go outside
where the real fun happens.
So, real quick,
before we head to the backyard,
I just wanna touch on the back deck.
[Paige] Ooh! The Stairs of Doom!
[Erik] We're gonna
replace all of this area,
and we're replacing
all of the railings with a glass railing.
So it's gonna open
the space up to the backyard a lot.
-Gorgeous.
-[Erik] So, then,
we'll swing around,
and we will check out the backyard.
We're going to show you guys
pretty much the outdoor oasis
that we've created together.
This entire yard is the special project.
Paige and I worked really hard
on this design,
the only problem is that it's sloped.
But in landscape design,
you can use a slope to your advantage
to create terraces.
One level above and one below
with a retaining wall in between.
Normally this would take weeks.
This will be literally
five truckloads of dirt
to even out the bottom
and have enough land and earth to do this.
[Erik] Actually physically moving the dirt
from the front yard to the backyard
through this sidewall here?
I don't know a way to move
five dump trucks in that span of time.
-We're gonna have to run some tests.
-Yes.
So the first level is more refined,
somewhere where Adair would hang out.
Right? We're gonna have seating.
We're gonna have a plunge pool.
-Wow.
-And a sandpit.
[Adair] Beautiful.
And you'll see that we
created a custom fire pit
with some Adirondack chairs around it.
And if you go this way,
we'll bring you to the basketball court.
Mind blown! Nice.
[Paige] So we are giving them
a half-moon basketball court.
Everything custom.
What's that back there?
This structure,
I actually have nothing to do with.
So, Erik, would you like
to explain to us what this is?
I had an idea. I really wanna give
these guys a tree house.
We're talking about a whole family
that likes to create content.
As a content creator myself, I know that
you can't create content successfully
with other people around dipping
into the audio, dipping into the video.
So I wanted to give them
a separate space to do that
in a tree house because it looks dope.
I wanna be able to prefab this
as much as possible.
All we have to do is to build a platform
in the warehouse. Drop it on site.
Get ourselves a retro camper
from the Interwebs.
We build out the inside,
we pick it up on a forklift,
and we drop it on top of the platform.
I know we got some rough terrain,
and stumps to go over, and trees to clear.
[Paige] Wow.
But I think this
could be something special.
I love the idea.
I'm just concerned that
we have so much happening in the backyard,
and you're just gonna drop
a trailer on the back.
If we have to build a tree house
from scratch, we don't have time.
If I can build a platform,
we build out the retro camper
in the warehouse,
and we just slap the two together
like a beautiful PBJ.
Like, we got a thing. Done.
Give this one to me, guys.
Like, I want this so bad.
[clock ticking]
[Erik] I'm gonna go up there,
set that camper height
so we can make sure it's where we want it.
-I'll clear that canopy out, okay?
-This is a little high for me.
I climbed trees as a kid.
All day, every day.
-My dad climbed a lot of trees too.
-Yeah?
And then he stopped after he fell
and broke his leg.
That's a good reason to stop.
[both exclaim]
[Nick] Nope.
There we go.
[Nick] Yeah, we're good.
Do one of these.
[upbeat music playing]
[Erik] Let's make it happen, captain.
I've called every hospital
within five miles
to make sure they have a bed for you.
Appreciate your concern, buddy.
My mother will appreciate it.
Whoo!
There it is.
-That looks good to me!
-Excellent! We're gonna call it a day.
[Paige] They're still prepping outside,
so I'm gonna help in here.
Okay, y'all are putting
a girl to work today, hon.
[upbeat music playing]
What I want to do now is measure
the perimeter of this first level,
so that we can start digging out.
["Push Up The Beat" by Laura Vane playing]
And so we shake off the day
And we kick into play ♪
[Nick] Good!
[worker] Yeah, looking great.
[Nick] Come on!
Now, we've outlined this first level.
And then the dirt's coming in later.
This is only about a third of the dirt
that we'll have on the day of.
We've got an hour window
to get all the dirt from the front yard
through that side yard and into the back.
And this is roughly the width?
[Erik] It is pretty narrow,
so we've gotta get this dirt
to the backyard some way, somehow.
If we get a front loader back there,
it can move more dirt in a single pass.
But it doesn't have the agility
that a skid steer does.
It's gonna take so much
time to turn around, get back up.
And this is a lot of dirt.
And this is exactly why
I have this for you.
So I'm gonna have a talkie in mine.
And I want you to coordinate this effort.
Whoo!
Dude, you're driving like my grandmother.
Come on. Let's go. Pick it up.
Dude, you're leaving
half the dirt on the road.
Uh-oh. I'm not in a good spot.
-[Erik] Watch yourself. I'm coming at you.
-[Nick] This is a tight one.
Yes, sir. No lie.
Erik, you do realize that on the day of,
you are currently
going over my retaining wall, right?
That's your retaining wall?
You just blew out
my entire retaining wall.
-[Erik] Yup. Noted.
-That is not gonna work on the day of.
No, it's not gonna work, but the
turning radius on this thing is massive.
This is a big machine. It's moving dirt,
but it's not moving enough dirt.
I have to find a solution.
'Cause this is not gonna work.
All right, whenever you're ready.
Let's get it done.
That's all the dirt
you can pick up on this one?
Come on, man!
Thing's not even full!
Try to come around and circle towards me,
so we can leave room for the other guys
to come in and drop right there.
Come on!
All the way up.
[dramatic music playing]
[Nick] Looking like
a major log jam up top.
[horn honking]
[Erik] It's a hard jam
when we're all trying to grab dirt.
It's a tight in and out.
[Nick] Erik, this is taking too long.
The traffic jam is severe.
It's already been 15 minutes.
Wait for him to come in.
Dude, it's looking
like bumper cars down here.
Back it up.
Back up Whoa! Hold, hold, hold!
Hold right there! Whoo!
Let's talk about this for a sec.
Dude, with the three,
as we're filling up one side,
that side gets full, we're losing space.
And we're a half-hour in and we've
already moved, what, half of this dirt?
Which is a third
of what we actually have on the day.
So either we bring the skid steers in
and we extend that time period,
or we just find another solution.
[Nick] Or we hire a better driver.
[Erik] Listen, buddy
[Nick] Right on top. This is the piñata.
Mario, come on, man.
You gotta give it better than that.
[Mario] Oh!
Yeah, I loosened it up for you.
[Nick grunts]
-Gonna be a fun one, huh?
-[worker] Oh, yeah.
[Erik] Come on, baby!
This is a wood plank,
and it's a peel-and-stick.
-No way!
-Really fast.
We're applying it to the entire wall.
-[Paige] Oh, it's gonna look so good!
-You know?
So then this will go right over here,
over the mantle.
-[Paige] Yes!
-It'll be a new focal.
-[Paige clapping] I love it!
-Right? So much better.
[upbeat music playing]
[Erik] Clear.
Coming through.
-[worker] Great.
-There it is.
Good stuff. Good stuff.
[upbeat music continues]
We have so much fun stuff to do today.
-It's already 10:30.
-[Erik] Yeah.
We got a lot accomplished,
but y'all got your work cut out for you.
So, what y'all feeling?
I'm feeling pretty good.
That's good coming from you,
'cause you be stressed out!
And today I'm not.
So I'm feeling good. What about you?
If your glass is half-full,
there is nothing in my glass right now.
-What? What happened?
-Because there is no dirt!
[dramatic music playing]
It is 10:30.
The dirt is supposed to come by 12:00.
There is no backyard
without that second tier and all the dirt.
So I'm worried
that if this dirt does not get spread,
we're literally gonna have a mountain
of dirt for the kids to play in.
We can't have a pile of dirt.
-Question. What time did you say it was?
-10:30.
So what are you stressed out about
right now, man? Relax!
Well, I'll tell you
what he's stressed out about.
If we don't have enough dirt in
the backyard, then we don't have a reveal.
The entire of this project
is the backyard.
I thought it would be here by now
because it has to go in at 12:00,
and I need time to prep it first.
[Erik] What I'm telling you
is we will get the dirt here.
-Don't worry. We're gonna make it work.
-[Danielle] Yes, we are.
-We're gonna be fine.
-Yes, we are.
And stay positive!
Because we got this!
-Y'all have done so much this far.
-[Erik] Come on!
Let's stay focused, let's do
what we gotta do, and get through the day!
-[Nick] "Dirt" on three!
-"Dirt" on three! One, two, three
-[all] Dirt!
-[Erik] Let's go!
[exclaiming]
[laughs]
[upbeat music playing]
[Paige] It's a dirt-heavy project,
and we're somehow missing the dirt.
See these headers
we got goin' on over here?
-Yes.
-Let's go take a look.
Oh, my gosh.
So these guys are content creators.
-They do a lot of things online.
-Oh, yeah.
I knew immediately
I wanted to give these guys a space.
This home could be everything
we need it to be, but it's just not.
I stream, for example.
Another edition of Teacher Talk Live.
I create content to make classrooms
better places for students.
And my son, uh, is the star of the show.
Um [laughing]
-So there are times where And the dogs.
-Ta-da!
-[Christian yelps comically]
-Um
So there are times where,
just wanting to stream,
wanting to do my thing
You can't do it.
Yeah!
We're gonna have these posts up here,
and then I have a camper.
And we're gonna bring in that camper
and set it up on that platform,
and you're gonna have a camper
up in the tree as a content studio.
It's gonna be amazing!
All right, y'all, camper's here.
You ready to see it?
-[Paige] Yep. Great.
-I'm super stoked on it. Check it out.
[laughs]
[Paige] Oh, wow.
[Erik] I mean, come on.
This is incredible.
It clearly needs a little bit of work.
-[Paige laughs]
-[Nick] A little bit?
This looks like a tetanus shot
waiting to happen.
[Erik] Oh, come on!
I mean, come on, look at
the patina on this. We buff this out.
-Fresh coat of paint.
-[Adair] That's not patina, that's rust.
[Erik] A little elbow grease,
it'll be fantastic.
Look, it doesn't look like much right now.
-[Adair] Right?
-[Erik] Give me a couple of days.
It's gonna look incredible.
Look at this curvature.
Like, honestly, think about how
this is gonna look when we polish it up,
think about how this
is gonna look in a tree.
[Erik cackling]
It's so bad, it's good.
[Nick] Erik, this is where you get taken
when you get kidnapped in a horror movie.
Like, think about this. We're gonna
give them a content studio in here.
-It's gonna be fantastic.
-[clacks loudly]
-[Erik] Easy! Easy! Don't stand on that.
-[all exclaiming]
Erik, you want to put it in a tree
that we haven't even seen yet.
[Erik] Have a little faith.
I can build this out,
I can line it, I can insulate it.
But in order to really
take it to the next level,
I need help on that.
Okay? I will
This is like I'm selling you guys
a new puppy when I'm a child.
I will stay late.
I will take care of it myself.
I'm hearing you talk
about something with so much passion.
I guess we're gonna have to roll with you.
I know it's a lot, but it's a team effort.
-[Adair] Okay! We're here to support you.
-[Erik] Believe!
[Danielle] Okay.
So y'all gonna cut something.
Yeah, we're gonna cut this about two feet.
[Erik laughing]
-About 26 and 7/8? That about it?
-Yep, about 27-85.
-Twenty-seven eighty-five? Whoo!
-Two. Point two.
I, uh, went to a conservatory, um
for acting.
[Erik laughs] So you never
measured in metric?
So I never had to measure anything
but my emotions.
-So I really don't know. Okay, here we go.
-[Erik] Let's get this lifted.
[Erik] It has to lift forward.
I really don't know
if I shaved under my arms.
Don't get close here.
[laughing]
["Set Free The Devil" by Nick Kingsley
& Daniel Farrant playing]
[Nick] Hey, Paige.
-What's goin' on? Getting there, right?
-Wow!
We made a lot of progress out here
while you were inside.
[Paige] It's coming together nice,
but we're certainly behind down here.
[Nick] Just looking at the pure volume
of space in this backyard,
I have no idea how
we're gonna get all the dirt in, in time.
[Danielle] Oh, Erik!
-[Erik] Yo!
-There's a truck out in the front.
Let's go see what's going on!
Nicholas! Nicholas!
-[Nick] What we got?
-[Erik] Oh, we got the dirt, baby!
[Nick] Oh, my God!
There's no convenient way to bring this in
on the front loaders into the backyard,
-as we discovered at the warehouse.
-Yeah.
So what we have here is about
ten cubic yards of soil in a truck.
We've got a bunch of hoses
that spray the soil everywhere we want.
-I'm so excited for this.
-[Danielle] I am too!
-[Erik] Once we get this thing set up
-Okay.
this should take minutes
rather than the hours we
were talkin' about with the front loaders.
Yes! We need all the minutes.
[Erik] We're gonna get the dirt in here,
then be able to get the turf.
[Nick] Let's get dirty.
-[upbeat song playing]
-Get dirty! ♪
Get dirty! ♪
-[Adair] What is happening?
-[Danielle] Yo!
Get dirty! ♪
Get dirty! ♪
Get dirty! ♪
Get dirty! ♪
[Danielle] Piece of cake.
Walk in the park.
[Erik] Make sure you
hit this area over here too.
[Nick] Yup.
Erik, this is so much more efficient.
Hey, you worry about aiming, Nick.
Erik, I'm gonna spray you with this
if you keep talking smack.
-[Danielle exclaims]
-[Erik] This guy!
[Nick] Yeah!
About time you got dirty on a job site!
[Erik] There it is.
-[Adair] Look how fast that was.
-Good stuff.
["Ice Cream" by Blues Saraceno playing]
[Danielle] We got that dirt in fast,
and we're in good shape inside.
[Adair] And we are good.
[Danielle] But outside,
we're running behind on the platform
It's absurd, man.
and the basketball court.
-How are you feeling about all of this?
-I'm so excited for my friends!
-Oh, my God!
-[laughs]
-Look at all of this construction.
-Oh, my God!
-[Danielle] I know, right?
-[Amber] What?
[Danielle] They have new steps.
-[Amber] Finally. Thank God.
-[Danielle laughs]
[laughing] Girl, we have so many
plans for this backyard,
it's not even funny.
If he wasn't my best friend already,
now he definitely is.
[Danielle laughing]
They're such a great family, you know?
They are the most deserving family,
like, the best.
I love them so much, all of them.
Aw, that's so good to hear!
So, talk to me about Miss Crystal.
-[Amber] Oh, that's my girl.
-Okay!
You know, sometimes, I think me and Brooks
met just so me and Crystal can be friends.
She's just always giving.
She's always the family, work.
She's a nurse,
and nurses, right now, are so important.
I started my career
as a bedside nurse in pediatrics,
and now I support
the clinical staff doing healthcare IT.
During the Covid crisis,
I put the scrubs back on to be there
to assist those frontline people.
As a nurse, you still have that desire
to get out there and to help
and to feel like you're doing something.
Something.
A true nurse at heart is always a nurse.
She's just an amazing person.
Like you saying,
nurses, teachers right now?
-Right!
-We need them more than ever.
They are the dream
essential team right now.
Yes, they are. They are.
Tell me, I heard that he did something
very special for his students
during the pandemic.
[Amber] Yes!
Schools closed down,
and we work at a Title I school,
meaning that they sometimes
cannot afford to eat.
They get their breakfast
and lunch from school.
And his first thought was,
"How are we going to feed these kids?"
What kind of pizza is this?
Pepperoni pizza!
What's up, people?
So he partnered with local pizza shops
and literally got pizzas sent
-What?
-to anyone that needed it.
[exclaiming]
-Where'd you go? [laughing]
-I'm right here!
He didn't ask for help,
he didn't ask for money.
He saw that need and he went for it.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, that's amazing.
-We need people like that.
-Right.
So, I'm curious how you keep
the Brookses away from this house.
Okay, so, boom.
-I have a son that Christian loves.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-We have a bouncy house.
They're bouncing.
[Christian] Oh! I did it!
[Crystal] You did it?
We have games. They're gaming.
We have hot dogs. They're hot-dogging.
And that's going to keep them,
like, entertained.
You are probably my favorite accomplice.
Like, I legit believe
that you are gonna hold me down.
-Yes.
-All right, Amber.
-I think you got me, girl!
-We got it!
[upbeat song playing]
We're unstoppable ♪
Unstoppable ♪
Unstoppable, unstoppable ♪
Unstoppable ♪
-[Danielle] All hands on deck, Nick.
-Yeah.
[Paige] Did you
ever play basketball, Erik?
Did I? Well,
I played a little bit in high school.
In middle school,
I was in the championship game.
I shot at the wrong basket
for the other team.
-[Erik laughing]
-Everyone laughed, I never played again.
Way to go out on top.
Why did y'all choose a camper anyway?
Ugh. I mean, this is something
that Erik literally bought online
[Danielle] Oh, my gosh!
brought it to the warehouse,
and this thing was a dump.
["Devil In You" by Blues Saraceno
& Nineoneone playing]
Now, think about it.
These panels are
gonna wrap all along the wall,
all on top of the ceiling,
and then also on the floor.
And then the back side
will be the content studio.
And then you're standing in
what's now gonna be our graffiti lounge.
-Dude, it looks so good.
-It's sick.
Yo, this camper is coming in,
but it's coming in very slow.
We don't have time for that.
[Adair] This thing is really happening.
Wow.
[Erik] We don't have
time to mess this up, Randal.
Hopefully it won't take more
than 30 minutes.
Nice and slow, buddy. Take your time.
We get up this hill,
that's gonna be one of the harder parts.
How long is it
gonna take to finish the yard?
There's no way, we couldn't start a
lot of this work until the camper came in.
[Erik] We got a big ditch over here,
so be smart about it.
I mean, we still have not
touched the geo-dome
because that was
the route that the forklift took.
The fire pit needs to be installed

a lot of faith into Erik, don't we?

[Paige] Oh, my gosh.
It's exactly what I was worried about.

I can't lift it. This spot's ready to go.
Okay. Coming, coming, coming.
-[Paige] One, two, three.
-[worker] There we go.
[Nick] We can't roll it on the pea gravel.
We gotta lift it all the way in.
-[Paige] We might need more hands on deck.
-[Nick] Here we go.

right now and decorating the front deck.
[Paige] There is so much left to do.
-[Erik] Paige.
-All right, so you're ready for me?

And I'll rise up through the fire ♪
I'll rise up through the fire ♪
-Hi! Go on, take it in!
-[Christian squeals]
[Bryce] What?
Whoa!
Oh, my God.
-[Christian] So different!
-[Crystal] My gosh. I wanna shut the door.
[Alfred] Hey, superstar!
You're the superstar!
-Nice to meet you.
-[Crystal] I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
-Oh, my gosh!
-[Danielle] Take it in!
-Hello, Christian!
-Oh, my God.
[Danielle] I know. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
[crying] Oh, my God.
[Christian] I can do the traffic too.
I've never seen Crystal freak out
about much of anything,
not a person, not a thing,
the way that she did in that moment.
Like, that will live in my memory forever.
It was just It was overwhelming.
Dude.
[Danielle] This is your home.
Yo, this looks so beautiful. Oh, my God.
[Danielle laughing]
Oh, my God.
How in the world?
I had a dream
about our house looking like this.
-You did?
-Ooh!
-Wow. Oh, my God.
-That is amazing, Christian.
And my dream came real.
-[Crystal] Oh, my God.
-It's real, baby. It's real.
Christian, like, look at this!
-I know!
-[Alfred chuckling]
It looks like another person's house!
-It does, but it's your house.
-[Christian giggles]
-I'm
-[Bryce] I'm speechless.
[Crystal] Yeah. Yeah.
[Bryce] And it's actually painted,
like, all the way around.
-How in the world? Oh, my gosh.
-Wow.
[Danielle] Are y'all ready to go in?
-[Crystal] So ready.
-[Alfred] Yeah!
-Christian, you ready to go inside?
-Yeah!

That's how excited you are.

[Danielle] I'll let you do the honors.
[Crystal] Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh. [gasps]
-Oh, my gosh!
-[Alfred] It looks really changed to me.
[all exclaiming]
["Butterfly" by Rupert Pope
& Giles Palmer playing]
[Crystal] It felt so inviting.
The colors now pop. It's so vibrant.
You guys took one big space
and made it into three livable,
functional spaces.
It makes you want to come home
and stay home.
["Butterfly" continues]
I like the plants over there.
Look at the wall,
look at the wood panel on the wall.
-[Christian squealing]
-Oh, my gosh.
I'm, like, stuck.
They're happy! They're so happy!
-[Alfred] It's separated, but still open.
-[Crystal] It is beautiful.
There's so much character.
Well, you all have so much character.
We wanted to make sure
that it was a reflection of you all,
and your style.
-So we put your hats over here as artwork.
-[Alfred] Yes.
Yes.
[Bryce] I feel like it reflects
our family very well,
'cause the house is very beautiful.
It just looks amazing. It's, um
It's just our home,
which is the best part about it.
Aw, Bryce.
-Oh, my gosh.
-[Alfred] Look at this.
-[Christian] The light!
-[Alfred] This is so much more functional.
[Crystal] It is.
And it was like
a completely different house.
I mean,
I don't even think that's something
that we would have thought
to put together the way that they did.
Yeah, that's how I feel.
Yeah?
A whole different house.
-Yeah. Yup.
-But it's still ours.
Now, let me tell you something.
I got another surprise for y'all.
-[Alfred] Uh-oh.
-Y'all wanna follow me to the back?
-Come on, now.
-[Bryce] Let's see.
-Oh, my gosh.
-Ready to cry again?
I'm not gonna cry.
-[Danielle] I have chills right now.
-[Crystal] You have goosebumps?
I'm like, "Wait a minute. There's more?"
This keeps getting better and better.
More surprises.
All right.
[triumphant music playing]
-Wow! I get my own
-[Bryce] Oh, my God!
[Christian] tree house!
[Crystal laughing] Oh, my
what?
-[Bryce] Look, you have a sandpit.
-[Christian squealing]
-Oh, my God!
-[Bryce] Are you serious?
There were dinosaurs in the sandbox.
Like titans and regular dinosaurs.
I'm the luckiest kid in the whole world.
[Alfred] My goodness.
[Crystal] There's a fire pit.
[Alfred] Look at this railing!
-Oh, no, wait. Steps! [laughs]
-Look at the steps!
-Nobody can fall through the steps.
-[Alfred] Oh, my God.
[Bryce] This is ridiculous.
Shut up!
There's a pizza oven?
-[Alfred] Whose house is this?
-[Crystal] This is our house! Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my God!
-[Alfred] Oh, my gosh.
-There's a pool.
Oh, my God.
[Alfred] I am without words.
-[Bryce] We have a van in our backyard.
-We have a van in the backyard!
Let me tell you something.
I wanted a tree house my entire childhood.
[Crystal] You have a whole tree house.
[Alfred] Christian's beating me
to the punch up there.
[Crystal] Oh, my God.
-[Christian] I can dance! Over here!
-[Crystal] This is crazy! Oh, my gosh.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Crystal] All right. Here we go.
-[Christian] Camper!
[all] Oh, wow.
It says, "On Air"! That's so dope!
[Alfred] Yo,
we have a whole live-streaming studio.
-[Bryce] This doesn't feel real.
-Doesn't feel real?
-This family has a camper tree house!
-[Christian] Tree house!
-You have a camper tree house?
-I never had a camper and a tree house!
We could live in that tree house. Like,
only if we brought some food up there.
For just a night. Like, a campout.
But we gotta go up the spiral stairs.
[Crystal] You want me to pinch you,
see if you wake up?
-[laughs] Pinch me.
-You gotta pinch me first, boo.
It's real. Oh, my gosh.
I'm a hip-hop head,
so graffiti is our art form.
And so it's just beautiful to see
that so well done.
I always wanted a tree house,
and now I'm a grown man with a tree house,
and you can't tell me nothing.
[Christian] But just a tiny drop more.
The studio.
None of his videos are about dinosaurs.
That makes me sad.
-Look at the basketball court, though.
-Listen.
-[Bryce] A "B"! That's crazy.
-[Crystal] It's a "B"!
[Alfred] You got your own logo?
Let me find out.
[Crystal laughing]
-[Bryce] That is awesome.
-[Crystal] Oh, my goodness.
First thing
I'm gonna do is play basketball.
The basketball court
is just absolutely amazing.
It did not feel real at all.
It felt like a dream.
[all exclaim]
-[Alfred exclaims]
-[Crystal] Nice.
-This is a whole new world!
-[laughing]
[Bryce] This looks unreal.
-This is ridiculous.
-This is crazy.
I've been in some nice backyards
in my day,
and I don't care
whose big house, whatever,
your backyard ain't touching our backyard.
-Our backyard is gorgeous.
-Yeah.
It has literally everything that
we have ever talked about wanting to do.
It's perfect. It's just perfect.
We'll actually be able
to spend time outside as a family
and not feel on top of each other
on the back porch,
'cause that was the only
semi-safe space to be,
but to actually be outside,
in our backyard, in our home.
-[Alfred] Yeah. This is an honor.
-It's amazing. It's beautiful.
[Christian] Well, I just don't know
how much to thank you for making our house
completely like a playground!
-[all] Yes.
-[Danielle] Thank you so much.
-Would y'all like to meet our team?
-[all] Yes!
-[Crystal] Please!
-Yo, team! Where you at?
-There they go!
-[Crystal laughing] Oh, my God!
[Danielle] These four amazing people
-[Crystal] You guys are awesome!
-[Danielle] helped put this together.
[Alfred] They really paid attention
-to who we were as individuals.
-[Crystal] Yeah.
Both the two of us, but also the kids.
-[Nick] You like your new backyard?
-[Danielle] Erik, Adair, Paige, and Nick.
It was just a testament
that it truly takes a village
to make things happen,
and there was a village that came
and wrapped its arms around us
and our family.
-[Erik] Dude. You're incredible.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-I'm a teacher also. I teach shop.
-Come on.
[Adair] What's your favorite?
[Crystal] Probably the fire pit.
That's where I see spending the most time.
And so we're so appreciative.
-Thank you so much. We love y'all.
-[Crystal] Thank you, guys.
[Christian] Well, I just wanna
say thank you for making our house
like, a superhero house.
The people that helped us make it
was like a superhero-helper team.
Like a team of superheroes.
This one It's tough too.
Oh, my gosh,
this family, the Brooks family,
my fake cousins, are so amazing.
This backyard is incredible.
Unfortunately for us, it's time to go.
I'm Danielle Brooks, and I'm out.
[Alfred] Here we are.
We're everyday people,
and you look at the amount of detail,
and love that's put into
how this was all put together.
It was faith-affirming.
Um, it was just huge to me.
[Crystal] It's been such a humbling
and rewarding experience.
Everybody kinda just working
with the end goal of our family
being loved on and appreciated
and our spirits being fed.
If I could hug these people
every day of my life, I would.
[Alfred] We will value this.
We'll take care of this.
Everyone's dream looks different,
but for us,
this is our version
of the American Dream coming to fruition.
