Yo, on flavor and texture, I gotta go with Zaxby's. Nah, bro.

Popeye's got it hands down. Now, I'm with you on the texture, though. Bad

correction. Facts. But when it comes to flavor, Popeye's is like the internet.

Undefeated. Whatever.

Neither of you use the palate cleanser between sandwiches, so this whole

experiment is a compromise.

David, um, this taste test was never designed to be empirical, man. That's

right. It's qualitative and shit. So how much longer you got on your hunger

strike? Hunger strike, it's a fast.

Six days down, one to go. But why, though?

I just need to hear from God on some things, and fasting helps me with that.

Six days, and you ain't heard nothing.

You're going to be able to hear from God face to face pretty soon if you don't

eat something, man. Man, his hearing is probably compromised by malnutrition.

What's going on?

What's up, bro?

What are you planning to get out of all this? I just got a lot on my mind, and I

need some clarity on some things.

And what does Naomi think about all these demo -less dates y 'all been going

Actually, we're fasting together.

Fasting together, what's that like, the uptight Christian version of Third Base?

Y 'all getting serious?

Oh, come on, not again.

What do you mean, not again?

You're always so quick to wipe somebody up. Look, Naomi's cool.

She does know how to rock a hot neckline.

I got it.

I gotta get out of here.

But the girls coming over to help with the taste test.

That's the moment.

Yeah, I thought y 'all was cool.

Oh, yeah.

Yo, you sure you want to miss this? No fried chicken. Enjoy your chicken.

Enjoy your air and your water.

Am I dead?

What the Philippians?

Zach Taylor.

Who?

No, I'm Walter Jones. Yeah, man, you're Walter Jones.

And you play Zach Taylor, a .k .a. the Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, bro.

No, I am Walter Jones, and I am the greeter at this church.

Welcome. Would you like a program?

Come on, man, keep it real with me, bro. I used to watch you 24 -7 as a kid.

Look at your suit.

Master Doc!

I used to do that in the room all the time as a kid.

Is there something I can help you with?

I mean, let me guess. You need answers.

That's what this is.

That's what this is. This is divine intervention.

Yes, yes, okay.

I need answers.

I want to meet God.

All right.

Third door to your left.

You want me to take care of that for you? Yeah, yeah.

Is this some kind of test?

Definitely a test

Past time.

Free from whatever bondage that holds you back from being the person that God

has called you to be.

Whether it be bondage of the spirit or bondage of the mind, it is time to be

free.

Does anybody want to be free this morning?

I say, does anybody want to be free this morning?

See, sometimes what you really need to get free from is yourself.

Free from fear.

Free from toxic ways of thinking.

Free from building up emotional walls that block the path to your

See, if you ain't free, you can't live how you're supposed to live.

You can't pray how you're supposed to pray.

And you can't love how you're supposed to love.

Ha! Ooh, bye -bye, bye -bye -bye. I've got a quickening in my spirit.

Ooh, got a quickening in my spirit. Somebody in here.

needs to be free.

How about you, brother?

Do you want to be free?

I am so confused right now. Oh, it's a simple question.

Do you want to be free?

Yeah.

Well, say amen.

Amen. Amen.

Look, brother, you're losing them.

See, they're supposed to feel what you're saying.

How are you supposed to lead a flock?

You're losing them just like you lost your church.

Now I'm going to ask you one more time.

Amen.

Well, this is different than the last place.

Yeah!

Finally, bruh.

I mean, look at this.

You made it to the next level of your quest.

It's been a longer, weirder journey than I expected.

Where'd you get the suit from, man?

One step at a time, my boy.

Now, remember, in order to make it to the end, you'll need everything

that you've gained along the way.

You understand that, right?

I think so.

Okay. Good.

Now, take a look at what's in front of you, man.

Tell me.

What do you think?

How about some ass and titties?

Wow. Come on, man.

You're really going to sit up in here and objectify women in the church?

some shameful shit.

Okay.

All right.

What do you see?

Beyond the surface.

Beyond the surface, okay.

Okay, I see mothers and daughters and nanny from

down the street.

Still not getting it out.

Well, I think it's time that you take a walk in that shoes.

Whoa, whoa.

Whoa, oh.

Love it.

I gotta say, you do make your legs look great.

What's up with the shoe changes, man?

I feel like my subconscious has a foot fetish and I need to get to the bottom

that.

Now, go forth.

but respect their path and cross without disturbing their journey.

I see grace.

I see power.

I see courage.

I see independence.

I see freedom.

I see human beings.

Sabes que hacer?

Here? Why are you speaking Spanish?

Why do I understand you? I don't speak Spanish. Esta pasando.

Acceptalo. I'm not even Catholic. Why you gotta put labels on yourself?

Just go ahead.

This is so hopeless.

Walter! Hey!

Really, bro?

Forgive me, father, mother,

whatever.

I don't even know what I'm supposed to be confessing right now.

I guess I lied to my therapist about my journaling.

I've had some, let's say, inappropriate thoughts about Naomi the other night.

I'm having it right now. Okay, stop.

That's nasty.

What am I supposed to say?

Tell the truth.

What you mean? Tell the truth.

Okay, you want the truth?

Okay. Well, I can tell you I didn't like that stupid song you were forcing out

of everyone's throats. Come back around and go right around like a boomerang.

That's shade, but I respect your honesty.

Keep going.

Well, I hate Ari's dreads. I'm sick of those.

And why is it that we always gotta go to Bryson's house for game night? Game

night was my idea, and he's completely taking it over.

Without saying anything about it.

And I'm sick of the awkwardness in this group now because Simone couldn't use a

little bit of restraint.

We can't be anywhere together without a fight or a fire breaking out. Literally.

Is this what I'm supposed to be doing? Or should I keep going?

Am I... Honestly, I'm tired of being the butt of everyone's jokes.

You guys give me shit for the things I actually enjoy.

Like, roller skating is roller skating. It's... fun. Everybody likes it, right?

What difference does it make if it's on gospel night? It's gotten old.

It's not funny anymore. I'm not a joke.

And even though none of y 'all say it, I'm tired of feeling blamed

for me and Crystal's divorce.

It's not fair.

It's not fair at all.

That's the truth.

Is that what you wanted?

Huh?

The... Tia?

Tia, are you there?

Stupid!

Recently,

I've felt something very heavy in my spirit.

I've prayed about it.

And I've come to a conclusion.

One of y 'all bitches is fake.

Simone, I'm one of the realest people you know. You know I wouldn't do you

that. Bitch, don't look at me. If I got something to say, you'll know.

Don't even start, Simone, because you betrayed me.

David?

Is it you?

Are you the one who's going to turn your back on me? On us?

No, no, no, no. I would never.

It's not me. I would never turn my back on you guys. Are you sure about that?

According to Naomi, we're such a bad influence, right?

We're not supportive.

We're holding you back. And what about what you said in the confessional? Oh,

how? Yes, we know what you said.

We know how you really feel about us.

When were you going to tell us the truth?

It's not that easy. Are we friends?

Yes. Are we family? Of course.

So you're with us?

Yes, yes, I'm with you. Yes, yes.

Prove it.

How can I prove it? How?

Eat.

Well, you know I can't do that. If you're with us, you will.

I can't do that. I'm on a fast and I have one day to go. I have one more day

left.

I've made a commitment.

Take it.

Eat. Eat the chicken, man.

God, is that you?

I feel your presence.

That's because I'm right here.

Of course. Of course it's you.

I knew that God was a black woman. I knew it.

Indeed.

What can I do for you?

Okay.

I came for some answers.

Boo. Boring.

Excuse me?

Everyone is always coming to me with their hands out, looking for answers,

looking for peace of mind, yada, yada, yada.

Nobody ever comes just to say, thank you.

Thank you, God.

No, and no one ever brings me anything. Did you bring anything?

Back in the day, I could at least expect a ram.

Okay, maybe even a goat on a high holiday.

This way.

Make your choice.

So you mean to tell me that after all the trials that you put me through...

Watch it. That you put me through, it all comes down to this?

It can't be this simple.

But it is.

People kill me. You are all so self -absorbed.

Do you really think I'm concerned with every intimate detail of every single

human life?

I'm an eternal being, and still, ain't nobody got time for that.

This life is not about signs and signals, David.

It's about choices.

You know what you want.

You know exactly where you want to be.

So why are you afraid to make a choice?

Because this choice means that I have to lose something that's meant everything

to me.

Yeah.

That's life.

And what you've wanted, you've had all along.

You have your answer, David. Now go.

Thanks for the help, I guess.

I don't mind.

Oh, hey, David.

It's war for time!

It is!

I knew it!

See ya.

You okay?

You passed out.

I know you say Jesus is the bread of life, but you need actual bread, bruh.

I have it on my phone if you want to see how you look.

Teeter, what was your first instinct to start recording and not help? Do I look

like a first responder to you? I'm just glad you're okay.

You are okay, right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I'm great, actually.

I gotta go see Naomi.

I'm so hungry.

What kind of chicken sandwiches are done?

You better.

Get a bag, use a rack, there's a rack, baby.

Money for it, money for it.
