1
00:00:02,448 --> 00:00:04,551
It's no secret that Josh Groban has the voice of an angel,
2
00:00:04,551 --> 00:00:06,689
but people close to him know he has a heart of gold.
3
00:00:06,689 --> 00:00:08,000
- Hey, Mark. - Hey.
4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,827
And he's showing it with a surprise for Mark.
5
00:00:09,827 --> 00:00:12,448
We're really good at helping people lie.
6
00:00:12,448 --> 00:00:15,137
His good friend and bandmate of 20 years.
7
00:00:15,137 --> 00:00:18,137
He's been somebody that's had my back on stage and off.
8
00:00:18,137 --> 00:00:21,448
After a string of canceled concerts due to the global pandemic.
9
00:00:21,448 --> 00:00:23,655
A lot of the stuff that you would normally have done on stage,
10
00:00:23,655 --> 00:00:25,689
- you've had to do from home, right? - Yeah.
11
00:00:25,689 --> 00:00:28,517
It's been really hard especially for artists, we feel it because
12
00:00:28,517 --> 00:00:30,827
we're not able to tour and be with our bands.
13
00:00:30,827 --> 00:00:33,172
Josh wants to give back to his piano player
14
00:00:33,172 --> 00:00:36,103
by turning the garage space he uses to record and rehearse
15
00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:38,034
into a state of the art music studio.
16
00:00:38,034 --> 00:00:39,896
Look up.
17
00:00:39,896 --> 00:00:42,137
If I have a chance to say thank you, if I have a chance to say,
18
00:00:42,137 --> 00:00:44,206
"Hey, we're all in this together, I got you."
19
00:00:44,206 --> 00:00:46,724
And turn his long neglected backyard
20
00:00:46,724 --> 00:00:48,793
into a calming beautiful new space.
21
00:00:48,793 --> 00:00:50,172
That's the best feeling in the world.
22
00:00:50,172 --> 00:00:51,344
Open your eyes.
23
00:00:51,344 --> 00:00:52,758
The whole family will love.
24
00:00:52,758 --> 00:00:54,620
Oh, my God!

26
00:01:07,655 --> 00:01:09,275
So how old were you when you got into music?
27
00:01:09,275 --> 00:01:12,413
So I was, you know, I'm a big proponent of arts education,
28
00:01:12,413 --> 00:01:15,000
I was very, very lucky to have an art education,
29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,379
you know a mom who... and a trumpet playing dad
30
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,793
and they understood that, you know, music was important in the house
31
00:01:20,793 --> 00:01:22,724
and so I had a piano in the living room
32
00:01:22,724 --> 00:01:24,413
and, you know, I'd have a crappy day at school
33
00:01:24,413 --> 00:01:26,517
and come home and just kind of sit down with the piano
34
00:01:26,517 --> 00:01:28,517
and that was my way of calming myself down before
35
00:01:28,517 --> 00:01:31,103
- homework. - And the music was all dark and gloom on those days?
36
00:01:31,103 --> 00:01:33,793
It was really dark like a lot of, like, the lower side
37
00:01:33,793 --> 00:01:36,517
of the, of the piano just hitting the... just pounding the low notes.
38
00:01:36,517 --> 00:01:39,241
Did you know at that time that you were an overachiever?
39
00:01:39,241 --> 00:01:43,206
Because you sing, you act, you were nominated for a Tony...
40
00:01:43,206 --> 00:01:44,758
Not as a child...
41
00:01:44,758 --> 00:01:46,689
- I was not a child theater star. - Okay.
42
00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:48,689
That came later and I was coming into my own
43
00:01:48,689 --> 00:01:50,034
as a vocalist at, like, 15
44
00:01:50,034 --> 00:01:51,344
and then I was kind of signed at 17.
45
00:01:51,344 --> 00:01:53,724
So you haven't done any renovations?
46
00:01:53,724 --> 00:01:55,931
So I have not done any renovations,
47
00:01:55,931 --> 00:01:57,620
but I love learning about it,
48
00:01:57,620 --> 00:02:00,724
and I especially love witnessing it happening when it's somebody
49
00:02:00,724 --> 00:02:04,137
who is so deserving, like my dear friend Mark.
50
00:02:04,137 --> 00:02:06,241
You know, we've played together almost 20 years now
51
00:02:06,241 --> 00:02:08,620
and hit just about every truck stop in America,
52
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:11,689
and for so many of us that have been off the road now,
53
00:02:11,689 --> 00:02:13,586
this last year because of the pandemic.
54
00:02:13,586 --> 00:02:16,413
For Mark, I know that so much of his playing, recording
55
00:02:16,413 --> 00:02:20,137
has had to go from the stage to an at home environment
56
00:02:20,137 --> 00:02:22,655
where he's been using this garage to just, you know,
57
00:02:22,655 --> 00:02:24,517
write songs and craft demos and rehearse.
58
00:02:24,517 --> 00:02:27,655
And so to be able to give him a thank you with something
59
00:02:27,655 --> 00:02:29,172
that I know will mean so much to him
60
00:02:29,172 --> 00:02:30,517
is going to be really special.
61
00:02:30,517 --> 00:02:32,586
- He doesn't know anything? - He has no clue.
62
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:35,482
Mark has been more than Josh's piano player for 20 years,
63
00:02:35,482 --> 00:02:36,448
they're like brothers.
64
00:02:36,448 --> 00:02:38,310
Yeah. Josh wants to surprise his bandmates,
65
00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:41,413
so we're working with Mark's wife Mignon to set up a ruse.
66
00:02:41,965 --> 00:02:43,448
Let's do it.
67
00:02:43,448 --> 00:02:46,620
Mark thinks that he's being interviewed today.
68
00:02:47,482 --> 00:02:48,551
- Hey, Mark. - Hey.
69
00:02:48,551 --> 00:02:49,793
Come on out here, Mark.
70
00:02:49,793 --> 00:02:52,965
For a documentary about Josh's world class career.
71
00:02:52,965 --> 00:02:54,931
Good to see you, man. Good to see you.
72
00:02:54,931 --> 00:02:56,827
I just wanted to come and say hi for a couple of reasons,
73
00:02:56,827 --> 00:02:58,241
why don't you come out here for one second?
74
00:02:58,241 --> 00:03:01,206
He loves Mark that much, he wants to make something happen
75
00:03:01,206 --> 00:03:02,482
that's going to be spectacular.
76
00:03:02,482 --> 00:03:05,655
First of all, thank you so much for doing this documentary,
77
00:03:05,655 --> 00:03:08,034
because I know it means a lot to all of us
78
00:03:08,034 --> 00:03:10,655
to be able to do it, but I have to apologize to you,
79
00:03:10,655 --> 00:03:12,827
because I've lied to you.
80
00:03:12,827 --> 00:03:14,965
This is, there is no documentary about me.
81
00:03:14,965 --> 00:03:18,206
Uh, this is about you, we had to tell you a lie.
82
00:03:18,206 --> 00:03:21,896
I promise you it's for a good reason.
83
00:03:21,896 --> 00:03:23,931
- Mm-hmm. - And to tell you that reason,
84
00:03:23,931 --> 00:03:25,689
I want to bring out a couple of friends of mine
85
00:03:25,689 --> 00:03:29,689
who I also called who helped me with the lie. So, hop on out here, guys.
86
00:03:29,689 --> 00:03:31,896
We're really good at helping people lie.
87
00:03:31,896 --> 00:03:34,137
The amazing Property Brothers.
88
00:03:34,137 --> 00:03:36,551
- Mark was totally fooled. - I'm shocked.
89
00:03:36,551 --> 00:03:38,241
I'm just thrilled, really.
90
00:03:38,241 --> 00:03:41,586
There was no documentary, Josh is full of it.
91
00:03:41,586 --> 00:03:44,758
But Mark knew something special is gonna happen.
92
00:03:44,758 --> 00:03:46,896
You have been such an incredible friend,
93
00:03:46,896 --> 00:03:48,413
you've been somebody that's been,
94
00:03:48,413 --> 00:03:50,586
that's had my back on stage and off,
95
00:03:50,586 --> 00:03:52,655
and we've done just about everything together.
96
00:03:52,655 --> 00:03:57,379
That just means the world to me that you would even think of me this way.
97
00:03:57,379 --> 00:03:59,206
I've known Mark for so many years now,
98
00:03:59,206 --> 00:04:02,206
we've been touring together for 15, 18 years now.
99
00:04:02,206 --> 00:04:05,068
We've just hit just about every stage in the world together,
100
00:04:05,068 --> 00:04:09,310
you know, he's seen me go from, like, a shy, new performer
101
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:12,068
to like us just having a ball out there,
102
00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:15,655
and it's one of the best parts of having a group of musicians
103
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:17,827
that you're lucky enough to call your friends and family
104
00:04:17,827 --> 00:04:20,103
for so many years that you do grow up together.
105
00:04:20,103 --> 00:04:23,758
I met Josh at the piano auditions.
106
00:04:23,758 --> 00:04:25,482
They scared me because I played the song
107
00:04:25,482 --> 00:04:26,931
and then they gave me a standing ovation,
108
00:04:26,931 --> 00:04:29,758
it was like, "Oh, maybe I got the gig,"
109
00:04:29,758 --> 00:04:30,655
you know...
110
00:04:31,758 --> 00:04:34,241
But being with Josh in the group, you know,
111
00:04:34,241 --> 00:04:37,758
over the years, it's just developed like a second family.
112
00:04:37,758 --> 00:04:40,241
And it goes without saying that he's an extraordinary piano player,
113
00:04:40,241 --> 00:04:42,896
but off the stage, he's just such a great guy.
114
00:04:42,896 --> 00:04:45,379
He's humble, just, he goes out of his way to make sure
115
00:04:45,379 --> 00:04:46,896
everybody around him is taken care of
116
00:04:46,896 --> 00:04:48,551
and never asked for much.
117
00:04:48,551 --> 00:04:51,448
And the other thing that we just love Mark for is just how dedicated,
118
00:04:51,448 --> 00:04:53,551
devoted he is to his family.
119
00:04:53,551 --> 00:04:57,241
He's just so proud to be the partner and the father that he is.
120
00:05:04,413 --> 00:05:06,517
The pandemic, you know, over the last year
121
00:05:06,517 --> 00:05:08,586
has been really hard especially, for, I mean, for everybody,
122
00:05:08,586 --> 00:05:10,689
but for artists we feel it,
123
00:05:10,689 --> 00:05:13,655
because we're not able to tour as touring musicians
124
00:05:13,655 --> 00:05:15,206
and be with our bands.
125
00:05:15,206 --> 00:05:18,379
For so many of us that relied on live performance
126
00:05:18,379 --> 00:05:20,724
and, no, I don't mean just financial, I mean spiritually
127
00:05:20,724 --> 00:05:23,827
and from a refilling your emotional soul tank,
128
00:05:23,827 --> 00:05:25,448
you know, that's your lifeblood.
129
00:05:25,448 --> 00:05:27,137
That's what makes you get up and go every day
130
00:05:27,137 --> 00:05:30,344
and make you feel vital and make you feel like a full person
131
00:05:30,344 --> 00:05:32,827
and so this has been such a devastating time.
132
00:05:32,827 --> 00:05:36,068
So you're stuck at home, trying to make the best of it, you know,
133
00:05:36,068 --> 00:05:39,034
it's pretty challenging sometimes, I just gotta say, you know.
134
00:05:39,034 --> 00:05:42,172
He deserved a space that could be a great creative
135
00:05:42,172 --> 00:05:43,137
cushion for him.
136
00:05:43,137 --> 00:05:45,241
Should he have to be off the road for longer.
137
00:05:45,241 --> 00:05:49,689
And so, as a friend, as a fellow musician and tour family member.
138
00:05:49,689 --> 00:05:51,206
If I have a chance to say thank you,
139
00:05:51,206 --> 00:05:53,482
if I have a chance to say, "Hey we're all in this together."
140
00:05:53,482 --> 00:05:54,827
You know, we love you.
141
00:05:54,827 --> 00:05:57,172
We're thinking of you and I've got you,
142
00:05:57,172 --> 00:05:58,827
that's the best feeling in the world.
143
00:05:58,827 --> 00:06:00,206
You know, this has been a weird year.
144
00:06:00,206 --> 00:06:02,689
A lot of the stuff that you would normally have done on stage,
145
00:06:02,689 --> 00:06:05,103
you've had to do from home, right?
146
00:06:05,103 --> 00:06:06,448
- That's true. - And so can I tell him?
147
00:06:06,448 --> 00:06:08,241
Yeah, well, we're not gonna give you details.
148
00:06:08,241 --> 00:06:09,896
Not too many details, but what we're gonna do
149
00:06:09,896 --> 00:06:11,241
is we're gonna just take a look inside,
150
00:06:11,241 --> 00:06:13,379
and we're gonna wrap our head around what it is
151
00:06:13,379 --> 00:06:15,586
that we might be able to do to make something really cool
152
00:06:15,586 --> 00:06:18,000
and exciting for you and for your amazing family.
153
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,241
- In here. - Man.
154
00:06:19,241 --> 00:06:22,517
For Josh to take all this effort to do something for me
155
00:06:22,517 --> 00:06:24,551
is still blowing my mind right now,
156
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:25,896
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
157
00:06:25,896 --> 00:06:28,724
It's just awesome, man, I just can't believe it. Thank you.
158
00:06:28,724 --> 00:06:31,758
To be able to show you how much you're appreciated.
159
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:33,413
That makes me so happy, so...
160
00:06:33,413 --> 00:06:35,241
- What family does for each other. - Thank you,
161
00:06:35,241 --> 00:06:36,965
can I get a hug?
162
00:06:36,965 --> 00:06:40,724
Man, it really hit me in the heart in a big way.
163
00:06:40,724 --> 00:06:43,758
- So, now the fun begins. - Josh got you and your family a rental.
164
00:06:43,758 --> 00:06:45,413
So we're going to be kicking you out of your house
165
00:06:45,413 --> 00:06:48,586
for a short period while we do, you know, a little something inside.
166
00:06:48,586 --> 00:06:50,000
If you do want to head to lunch,
167
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,724
he'll meet in an hour, we just need to have a little look around.
168
00:06:51,724 --> 00:06:53,551
- Okay. - All right, sounds good?
169
00:06:53,551 --> 00:06:55,310
- We'll see you in a bit. - All right.
170
00:06:57,862 --> 00:06:59,793
Gotcha.
171
00:06:59,793 --> 00:07:01,793
- All right, lead the way. - All right, let's do it.
172
00:07:03,137 --> 00:07:05,310
All right, so we enter through the screen door.
173
00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:07,965
- What, what? - Why is a screen door into a garage, why not,
174
00:07:07,965 --> 00:07:09,241
why not?
175
00:07:09,241 --> 00:07:15,310
Um, into Mark's kind of exercise and creative cave here.
176
00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:17,620
Hold your horses.
177
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:19,172
This looks like a torture device.
178
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:22,068
Well, apparently, Mark likes to keep in shape,
179
00:07:22,068 --> 00:07:23,689
I really wouldn't touch that pillow.
180
00:07:23,689 --> 00:07:27,172
Why the hell is there a pillow duct taped onto a bicycle,
181
00:07:27,172 --> 00:07:28,241
I don't understand.
182
00:07:28,241 --> 00:07:29,965
He's on this thing three times a day apparently.
183
00:07:29,965 --> 00:07:31,689
- Working up a sweat. - I don't know,
184
00:07:31,689 --> 00:07:35,793
I feel like that's probably the first thing is probably to burn that pillow. Yeah.
185
00:07:35,793 --> 00:07:37,827
No, no, the thing that hit me was,
186
00:07:37,827 --> 00:07:39,827
why the hell did you touch it?
187
00:07:39,827 --> 00:07:41,275
What were you thinking?
188
00:07:41,275 --> 00:07:43,310
You know somebody... aw.
189
00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:46,758
Have you noticed his music sounds a little more dire...
190
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:48,275
lately,
191
00:07:48,275 --> 00:07:52,103
because this is stressful for a world class musician,
192
00:07:52,103 --> 00:07:54,517
you got to have a space that's inspiring for yourself.
193
00:07:54,517 --> 00:07:56,655
Yes, I feel like he likes to get into the spirits
194
00:07:56,655 --> 00:07:59,103
through exercise to kind of get the creative juices flowing,
195
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:01,862
he likes to dress up as Jonathan from time to time,
196
00:08:01,862 --> 00:08:03,655
whatever he needs to do.
197
00:08:03,655 --> 00:08:06,482
The hardhat is in case some of the boxes fall off,
198
00:08:06,482 --> 00:08:07,758
- the... off the shelf. - Yeah.
199
00:08:07,758 --> 00:08:09,344
Do you think we should replace the garage door?
200
00:08:09,344 --> 00:08:10,862
- 100%. - I mean, absolutely,
201
00:08:10,862 --> 00:08:12,379
I mean, the light that's coming in there,
202
00:08:12,379 --> 00:08:14,827
- it's just not enough. - We could even change this door.
203
00:08:14,827 --> 00:08:15,965
- Right. - To glass.
204
00:08:15,965 --> 00:08:17,551
- Yeah. - There's so much potential there.
205
00:08:17,551 --> 00:08:18,758
There's so much potential.
206
00:08:18,758 --> 00:08:20,310
I'm thinking, how do I craft a spot for him
207
00:08:20,310 --> 00:08:21,931
where when he sits down, no matter what's going on
208
00:08:21,931 --> 00:08:25,137
in the house, no matter what crap is going on outside. He's in the zone.
209
00:08:25,137 --> 00:08:27,413
Just from a safety standpoint, I don't love the fact,
210
00:08:27,413 --> 00:08:31,482
so this is just a naturally venting hot water tank,
211
00:08:31,482 --> 00:08:33,862
which means all that carbon monoxide
212
00:08:33,862 --> 00:08:37,344
is not sealed within a pipe, it's just drifting up into this.
213
00:08:37,344 --> 00:08:40,517
Which means there could be elevated levels
214
00:08:40,517 --> 00:08:42,655
- of carbon monoxide. - I'm saving Mark's life.
215
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:44,758
Well, if you were thinking for yourself,
216
00:08:44,758 --> 00:08:46,862
having a space where you want to create,
217
00:08:46,862 --> 00:08:48,965
can you actually play me a couple notes right now,
218
00:08:48,965 --> 00:08:51,896
how this space makes you feel?
219
00:08:51,896 --> 00:08:54,827
This is a space where music should be created,
220
00:08:54,827 --> 00:08:57,586
not where music goes to die.
221
00:09:20,137 --> 00:09:22,000
- Yeah. - Love it.
222
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,586
Uh, at the moment, it's feeling like a low flute,
223
00:09:25,586 --> 00:09:28,241
and I want this place to feel like a happy peppy xylophone.
224
00:09:28,241 --> 00:09:29,551
Yeah.
225
00:09:29,551 --> 00:09:32,413
Josh wants this garage to be a happy peppy xylophone
226
00:09:32,413 --> 00:09:33,724
for Mark to make music,
227
00:09:33,724 --> 00:09:35,448
well then that's what it's gonna be.
228
00:09:35,448 --> 00:09:37,310
But Josh knows what Mark and his family have been through over this past year,
229
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:39,793
so we want to do more something they can all enjoy.
230
00:09:39,793 --> 00:09:42,931
And Josh told us when he first called that the backyard
231
00:09:42,931 --> 00:09:44,896
is where Mark's family loves to be.
232
00:09:44,896 --> 00:09:48,586
This is a spot for him to relax after playing the keys
233
00:09:48,586 --> 00:09:50,896
- and this is... - Built in hot tub.
234
00:09:50,896 --> 00:09:51,965
- With... - Rubber ducky.
235
00:09:51,965 --> 00:09:53,482
A rubber ducky there.
236
00:09:53,482 --> 00:09:56,103
When we're on the road. The worst thing is being away from our families
237
00:09:56,103 --> 00:09:58,931
and so it was important to also have a space, you know,
238
00:09:58,931 --> 00:10:02,000
both in the garage and outside to really reconnect
239
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,068
with his family, which I know is just even a step above the the music for him.
240
00:10:06,068 --> 00:10:09,068
Why is it so far forward, it takes up so much of the yard,
241
00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:11,137
I feel like this should be pushed back more.
242
00:10:11,137 --> 00:10:12,896
- That's a good point. - So you have more usable space.
243
00:10:12,896 --> 00:10:14,758
That's actually over six feet back there,
244
00:10:14,758 --> 00:10:16,724
what's Mark's aesthetic 'cause you see a lot of,
245
00:10:16,724 --> 00:10:19,275
- like, peach tones and terracotta. - Yeah.
246
00:10:19,275 --> 00:10:22,275
I think that Mark is very much in touch with Mignon,
247
00:10:22,275 --> 00:10:25,103
his partner and what she likes to do out here
248
00:10:25,103 --> 00:10:26,965
as far as gardening and things like that.
249
00:10:26,965 --> 00:10:30,448
Um, I know that from her Mark likes to layout,
250
00:10:30,448 --> 00:10:32,448
- just kind of tan, and... - Yeah.
251
00:10:32,448 --> 00:10:34,275
But if this is the tanning area,
252
00:10:34,275 --> 00:10:36,758
then you have the cover. I know, to me it feels
253
00:10:36,758 --> 00:10:39,034
a little disjointed just to have this covered area
254
00:10:39,034 --> 00:10:40,310
where the pergola is.
255
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:41,827
This is not even built very well.
256
00:10:41,827 --> 00:10:44,620
That is one earthquake away from being a bad tan day.
257
00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:47,551
- Yeah. - It's also a little odd that the patio
258
00:10:47,551 --> 00:10:48,931
doesn't line up with the edge of the house,
259
00:10:48,931 --> 00:10:51,620
and there's all that wasted space in behind.
260
00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:54,310
And instead of a toy kitchen, is it possible for them
261
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:56,000
to upgrade to, like a real kitchen out here?
262
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,241
- Absolutely. - Just like in there to have a space out here
263
00:10:58,241 --> 00:11:00,241
that's seamless, that can be for guests and be for family,
264
00:11:00,241 --> 00:11:03,068
- be for cooking. - We could have a much better plan
265
00:11:03,068 --> 00:11:05,689
for the different zones that we want to create here.
266
00:11:05,689 --> 00:11:06,896
Yeah.
267
00:11:06,896 --> 00:11:09,724
Josh wants to make over Mark's garage into a bright
268
00:11:09,724 --> 00:11:11,896
and functional space for his dear friend.
269
00:11:11,896 --> 00:11:15,344
Replacing the current garage door with a modern glass alternative
270
00:11:15,344 --> 00:11:17,068
will flood the space with light,
271
00:11:17,068 --> 00:11:20,068
which is essential for Mark's redesigned recording space,
272
00:11:20,068 --> 00:11:23,137
and new state of the art equipment and soundproofing
273
00:11:23,137 --> 00:11:27,241
will give Mark the professional setup he desperately needs.
274
00:11:27,241 --> 00:11:30,827
We'll add a new exercise nook for Mark's cherished daily workouts
275
00:11:30,827 --> 00:11:33,068
and an office meets lounging space,
276
00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:35,482
perfect for him to write or for friends and family
277
00:11:35,482 --> 00:11:37,000
to sample his latest tracks.
278
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,862
A new exterior door will lead into a luxury staycation spot
279
00:11:40,862 --> 00:11:42,862
for Mark and his whole family,
280
00:11:42,862 --> 00:11:45,689
a revitalized hot tub with modified pine decking
281
00:11:45,689 --> 00:11:48,896
surrounded by lush greenery will anchor this oasis,
282
00:11:48,896 --> 00:11:52,724
while an outdoor kitchen, dining area and sturdy wooden pergola,
283
00:11:52,724 --> 00:11:56,034
will provide them with a relaxing five star sanctuary.
284
00:11:59,206 --> 00:12:01,586
So how much time do we think we can keep Mark out of his house?
285
00:12:01,586 --> 00:12:03,931
Well, I mean, we've got a great rental house for him,
286
00:12:03,931 --> 00:12:06,206
so I would love for this to, you know, be three to four weeks.
287
00:12:06,206 --> 00:12:08,103
I would say if we can get four weeks, we'll need it.
288
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:09,758
- It's ambitious. - Especially at the garage
289
00:12:09,758 --> 00:12:12,793
- and then all the groundwork that we would have to do here. - Yeah.
290
00:12:12,793 --> 00:12:14,896
But it would be, it would be pretty spectacular.
291
00:12:14,896 --> 00:12:17,620
In the meantime, I say tomorrow we get ready to demolition.
292
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:20,344
If I don't get some real dust in my beard tomorrow,
293
00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:22,620
- I'm gonna be really. - We call it man-glitter.
294
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:24,758
- Man-glitter, I like that. - The saw dust is...
295
00:12:24,758 --> 00:12:26,103
There's gonna be man-glitter.
296
00:12:27,551 --> 00:12:30,586
Josh Groban is a world renowned musician.
297
00:12:30,586 --> 00:12:32,586
He's beloved by so many including our mom
298
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:35,413
and he wants us to help him to give back to someone that he loves.
299
00:12:50,551 --> 00:12:52,034
Hey, boys.
300
00:12:52,034 --> 00:12:53,379
Yes.
301
00:12:53,379 --> 00:12:56,000
- This is gonna be sweet. - Testing the acoustics in there, really,
302
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,310
- it's a nice echo. - There are.
303
00:12:58,551 --> 00:13:00,862
Do you want to get hands on,
304
00:13:00,862 --> 00:13:03,034
starting to chip off these babies right here?
305
00:13:03,034 --> 00:13:04,724
Yeah sure, just kick them lightly like that
306
00:13:04,724 --> 00:13:07,448
- and wait till they... - Some of them will probably come loose with a little bit.
307
00:13:07,448 --> 00:13:09,275
- I'll get you some tools. - Oh, sounds good.
308
00:13:09,275 --> 00:13:12,931
Josh has never done renovations before, but he's wearing the flannel.
309
00:13:12,931 --> 00:13:15,413
Thank you, that's a big gun.
310
00:13:15,413 --> 00:13:18,241
He's looking the part, he looks like he could literally be our brother
311
00:13:18,241 --> 00:13:19,310
from another mother.
312
00:13:19,310 --> 00:13:21,241
I will warn you again because I can already tell
313
00:13:21,241 --> 00:13:23,068
you're excited to have heavy equipment.
314
00:13:23,068 --> 00:13:24,413
We just have to give him a little guidance.
315
00:13:24,413 --> 00:13:26,034
Chip it up and then just pull it aside,
316
00:13:26,034 --> 00:13:27,379
get it out of the way. All right.
317
00:13:27,379 --> 00:13:28,758
- Don't fall in. - Okay.
318
00:13:28,758 --> 00:13:30,793
- Can I kind of get in from underneath here? - Yeah.
319
00:13:40,103 --> 00:13:41,206
Yeah.
320
00:13:41,206 --> 00:13:43,206
How come you got the big one and I got the baby one?
321
00:13:43,206 --> 00:13:44,586
- Can we, uh... - You wanna swap?
322
00:13:44,586 --> 00:13:46,586
- Do you mind if we swap? - Josh Groban,
323
00:13:46,586 --> 00:13:48,379
world renowned musician.
324
00:13:48,379 --> 00:13:49,758
And just pull the trigger and push.
325
00:13:49,758 --> 00:13:51,379
I mean, he's got muscle.
326
00:13:55,758 --> 00:13:57,965
Can you picture Josh doing death metal?
327
00:14:01,310 --> 00:14:03,068
Yes, I can actually.
328
00:14:04,103 --> 00:14:05,517
This is like trial by fire.
329
00:14:05,517 --> 00:14:07,689
It helps if you grunt.
330
00:14:07,689 --> 00:14:09,689
- Whoo! - I mean he's willing to get in here
331
00:14:09,689 --> 00:14:10,965
and he's willing to get his hands dirty
332
00:14:10,965 --> 00:14:12,793
because he loves Mark that much and he wants to make sure
333
00:14:12,793 --> 00:14:14,103
this is perfect.
334
00:14:14,931 --> 00:14:16,344
Coming along.
335
00:14:16,344 --> 00:14:17,827
That was my first time doing any kind of demolition,
336
00:14:17,827 --> 00:14:20,000
uh, so I'm pretty proud of that.
337
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,931
In my mind, I'm envisioning this glorious glow.
338
00:14:23,931 --> 00:14:25,517
Classic slo-mo.
339
00:14:25,517 --> 00:14:27,344
Uh, it's my first pergola pull.
340
00:14:27,344 --> 00:14:30,827
In my mind, I'm just picturing don't pull it towards the house.
341
00:14:30,827 --> 00:14:33,241
- Yeah. - The whole time I'm just thinking to myself,
342
00:14:33,241 --> 00:14:35,000
"Oh, my God, oh, my God."
343
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,586
Come on down!
344
00:14:37,586 --> 00:14:39,137
Give it a pull.
345
00:14:39,137 --> 00:14:41,275
- Come on. - Yeah.
346
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,827
- Whoo! - Conquered you.
347
00:14:45,413 --> 00:14:47,793
Gonna feel that pull tomorrow in the old,
348
00:14:47,793 --> 00:14:49,172
the old triceps.
349
00:14:49,172 --> 00:14:52,000
- Look at, look at the posts over there... - It's Styrofoam.
350
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,586
- Yeah. - This needed to come down as a, as a hazard.
351
00:14:54,586 --> 00:14:57,172
Oh, my God, that is a pretty sad structure
352
00:14:57,172 --> 00:15:00,000
when it's that big and I can, I can lift it with one hand.
353
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,310
- This is Drew proving he works out. - Yeah.
354
00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:03,620
We get it, we get it.
355
00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:05,034
Sorry, where was that pergola?
356
00:15:05,034 --> 00:15:06,827
You got muscles, man, we get it.
357
00:15:06,827 --> 00:15:08,379
You can lift a pergola by yourself.
358
00:15:08,379 --> 00:15:11,172
I need to go get a protein shake.
359
00:15:11,172 --> 00:15:13,551
There's no other way around it, just was just a blast
360
00:15:15,068 --> 00:15:17,310
to break up. Beep.
361
00:15:20,551 --> 00:15:24,310
We were ready to go into that garage and rip this thing apart.
362
00:15:27,034 --> 00:15:29,689
And then we remembered, it was all stuff in there,
363
00:15:29,689 --> 00:15:32,206
there was basically nothing left to demo.
364
00:15:33,448 --> 00:15:35,793
It's pre-demoed, it's just a raw garage.
365
00:15:35,793 --> 00:15:37,379
I'm feeling good.
366
00:15:37,379 --> 00:15:38,862
Yeah, it's pretty good.
367
00:15:38,862 --> 00:15:41,000
All right, here you go. Oh, oh, wait.
368
00:15:47,103 --> 00:15:48,448
Souvenir.
369
00:15:48,448 --> 00:15:49,689
Yeah.
370
00:15:49,689 --> 00:15:51,620
- Did you get your frustration out? - I did.
371
00:15:51,620 --> 00:15:53,379
I don't like that screen door.
372
00:15:53,379 --> 00:15:54,862
Okay, well done.
373
00:16:00,517 --> 00:16:03,137
With the initial demo done, the whole crew is on site
374
00:16:03,137 --> 00:16:04,896
to tear the garage down to the studs,
375
00:16:04,896 --> 00:16:06,965
and move the water heater outside.
376
00:16:06,965 --> 00:16:09,931
Where the backyard is being brought right down to the dirt,
377
00:16:09,931 --> 00:16:11,310
to give us a blank slate.
378
00:16:11,310 --> 00:16:14,275
Right now, there's so many people that have been having
379
00:16:14,275 --> 00:16:16,758
to find a way to work from home, and for Mark,
380
00:16:16,758 --> 00:16:19,482
there's a lot that we can do to make it perfect for him and his family,
381
00:16:19,482 --> 00:16:21,551
but we also need to make sure it works perfectly for him
382
00:16:21,551 --> 00:16:23,551
to record music.
383
00:16:23,551 --> 00:16:25,965
With the life of a musician on the road,
384
00:16:25,965 --> 00:16:28,896
when you come home, you just want to dive
385
00:16:28,896 --> 00:16:30,241
into that family time,
386
00:16:30,241 --> 00:16:33,137
relax, spend that time in an enjoyable atmosphere,
387
00:16:33,137 --> 00:16:35,586
they've got a beautiful home, but we need to do something
388
00:16:35,586 --> 00:16:38,586
with that backyard space, so it is like a sanctuary.
389
00:16:38,586 --> 00:16:42,413
So you'll notice the block wall steps down,
390
00:16:42,413 --> 00:16:44,137
so we're gonna do a stucco surface on it,
391
00:16:44,137 --> 00:16:47,448
but I did want to do like a cool horizontal wood feature,
392
00:16:47,448 --> 00:16:48,620
just to cap it off.
393
00:16:48,620 --> 00:16:52,724
I'm wondering if we should step that up over here,
394
00:16:52,724 --> 00:16:54,379
we can easily go up.
395
00:16:54,379 --> 00:16:56,724
- Yeah. - I mean, honestly, I think, aesthetically as soon
396
00:16:56,724 --> 00:16:58,551
as you look out the back here, that would look stunning
397
00:16:58,551 --> 00:16:59,758
to have things even all the way across.
398
00:16:59,758 --> 00:17:01,448
Privacy in style.
399
00:17:01,448 --> 00:17:03,689
Josh and Mark have been bandmates for 20 years
400
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:06,379
and Josh wants this to be a life changing renovation
401
00:17:06,379 --> 00:17:08,344
for Mark and his whole family.
402
00:17:08,344 --> 00:17:11,034
Life changing renovation in four weeks, check,
403
00:17:11,034 --> 00:17:12,965
don't jinx this, all right? We're just getting started.
404
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:14,034
Check.
405
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:15,275
We got this.
406
00:17:23,172 --> 00:17:24,275
- Hey, Mark. - Hey.
407
00:17:24,275 --> 00:17:25,379
Come on out here, Mark.
408
00:17:25,379 --> 00:17:26,896
Josh Groban surprised Mark.
409
00:17:26,896 --> 00:17:28,068
Hop on out here, guys.
410
00:17:28,068 --> 00:17:30,724
- Oh, wow. - We're really good at helping people lie.
411
00:17:30,724 --> 00:17:33,241
His good friend and bandmate of 20 years,
412
00:17:33,241 --> 00:17:36,724
Mark's entire livelihood was impacted by the pandemic.
413
00:17:36,724 --> 00:17:39,172
The last year has been really hard especially for artists.
414
00:17:39,172 --> 00:17:41,275
A lot of the stuff that you would normally have done on stage,
415
00:17:41,275 --> 00:17:42,862
you've had to do from home.
416
00:17:42,862 --> 00:17:44,758
- Yeah. - So Josh is showing his love
417
00:17:44,758 --> 00:17:46,551
and gratitude by getting dirty.
418
00:17:46,551 --> 00:17:48,137
If I have a chance to say thank you,
419
00:17:48,137 --> 00:17:50,862
if I have a chance to say, "Hey, we're all in this together. I've got you."
420
00:17:50,862 --> 00:17:52,137
That's the best feeling in the world.
421
00:17:52,137 --> 00:17:54,068
To give Mark the recording studio
422
00:17:54,068 --> 00:17:56,068
and backyard retreat he deserves.
423
00:17:56,068 --> 00:17:57,448
Conquered you!
424
00:17:57,448 --> 00:18:00,551
It just means the world to me that you even think of me this way.
425
00:18:00,551 --> 00:18:02,000
It really hit me in the heart.
426
00:18:03,482 --> 00:18:05,827
It's the end of week one and while four weeks
427
00:18:05,827 --> 00:18:09,896
may seem like a lot with everything Josh wants for Mark. It's not.
428
00:18:09,896 --> 00:18:12,517
A new state of the art recording and rehearsal space in the garage
429
00:18:12,517 --> 00:18:14,793
along with a full backyard makeover.
430
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:16,517
- That's a mountain. - Yeah, so,
431
00:18:16,517 --> 00:18:17,620
we're jumping right in.
432
00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:19,379
In what will be Mark's new studio,
433
00:18:19,379 --> 00:18:22,000
the plumbers are running new lines to move the water heater
434
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,103
that has been venting improperly to the outside
435
00:18:25,103 --> 00:18:27,034
while inside, we add insulation.
436
00:18:27,034 --> 00:18:29,620
This garage has more than enough space,
437
00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:32,310
but it feels dark and dingy and a studio for Mark
438
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:34,689
to create in, it needs to be bright and inviting.
439
00:18:34,689 --> 00:18:36,517
So we're adding recessed lights throughout
440
00:18:36,517 --> 00:18:39,517
and we'll soon install a translucent glass garage door
441
00:18:39,517 --> 00:18:42,482
that will flood the place with light and still provide a lot of privacy.
442
00:18:45,103 --> 00:18:47,000
Out back, work is beginning on the frames
443
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,724
for the concrete pads we're creating.
444
00:18:49,724 --> 00:18:52,034
And while the crew gets going on the first coat of stucco
445
00:18:52,034 --> 00:18:54,344
that will elevate the look of the cinderblock wall
446
00:18:54,344 --> 00:18:55,931
and the yard as a whole.
447
00:18:55,931 --> 00:18:59,862
Josh is back to help pick the finishes for Mark's multifunctional new space.
448
00:18:59,862 --> 00:19:02,413
Mark's got it like the gloominess in there,
449
00:19:02,413 --> 00:19:03,413
as I mentioned in my song
450
00:19:03,413 --> 00:19:04,931
cranked to a 11 in there,
451
00:19:04,931 --> 00:19:07,689
so he does like the kind of darker vibe,
452
00:19:07,689 --> 00:19:08,931
it just doesn't have to be that dark,
453
00:19:08,931 --> 00:19:11,517
but I think these, this is a really good start here.
454
00:19:11,517 --> 00:19:13,758
Yeah, 'cause I think we can do something that stills feel stylish,
455
00:19:13,758 --> 00:19:15,862
but would it be an issue with sound or anything
456
00:19:15,862 --> 00:19:18,413
if we did like a wood clad wall across one feature
457
00:19:18,413 --> 00:19:19,551
to break up the paint?
458
00:19:19,551 --> 00:19:21,586
Wood is always great for sound, um,
459
00:19:21,586 --> 00:19:23,931
and especially if you're going to redo the floor or something like this,
460
00:19:23,931 --> 00:19:26,724
but I really loved the look of a cement slab.
461
00:19:26,724 --> 00:19:28,758
Well, the cool thing with this, so this is a stone coating
462
00:19:28,758 --> 00:19:30,896
that you don't have to tear the slab out,
463
00:19:30,896 --> 00:19:32,896
so a stone cutting like this is really great,
464
00:19:32,896 --> 00:19:35,620
and then you can start to see how the palette comes together
465
00:19:35,620 --> 00:19:37,689
- if you start mixing this stuff together. - That's beautiful.
466
00:19:37,689 --> 00:19:39,517
Does he need a TV or multiple TVs
467
00:19:39,517 --> 00:19:41,241
or what does he need around him?
468
00:19:41,241 --> 00:19:43,103
When he's on tour with me, he's got his keyboard over here,
469
00:19:43,103 --> 00:19:44,275
he's got an organ over here,
470
00:19:44,275 --> 00:19:46,551
so, in this new setup and design,
471
00:19:46,551 --> 00:19:48,448
maybe we can have it in that space as well,
472
00:19:48,448 --> 00:19:50,689
a TV, you know, in case he wants to go in there
473
00:19:50,689 --> 00:19:52,793
and just say, "Hey, I'm composing,"
474
00:19:52,793 --> 00:19:54,758
but is really just secretly watching the Laker game.
475
00:19:54,758 --> 00:19:56,172
Um, I think it'd be great.
476
00:19:56,172 --> 00:19:58,517
You know, he deserves a space because I think honestly,
477
00:19:58,517 --> 00:20:00,172
he's probably so used to being out on the road,
478
00:20:00,172 --> 00:20:01,517
this isn't the space that he thought
479
00:20:01,517 --> 00:20:03,586
he'd be spending this much time in making music.
480
00:20:03,586 --> 00:20:07,413
- Shifting from studio outside, let's talk about decking. - Yeah.
481
00:20:07,413 --> 00:20:08,931
That is actually a modified pine,
482
00:20:08,931 --> 00:20:12,172
it has the resiliency of, like, cedar or something else,
483
00:20:12,172 --> 00:20:14,241
- but it's actually more resilient. - Yeah, I love it.
484
00:20:14,241 --> 00:20:18,068
So, we have two zones, one will be the lounging zone
485
00:20:18,068 --> 00:20:19,896
- that has the new pergola. - Yeah.
486
00:20:19,896 --> 00:20:22,448
We're gonna build in a real outdoor kitchen,
487
00:20:22,448 --> 00:20:25,965
have space for a grill and it's directly open
488
00:20:25,965 --> 00:20:29,068
to that whole new entertaining area around the hot tub.
489
00:20:29,068 --> 00:20:30,931
It's a vacation in and your own home.
490
00:20:30,931 --> 00:20:31,862
Staycation.
491
00:20:31,862 --> 00:20:34,275
Josh clearly knows Mark's tastes,
492
00:20:34,275 --> 00:20:36,689
but his expertise and what a musician needs
493
00:20:36,689 --> 00:20:38,793
is exactly what will make this studio legit.
494
00:20:38,793 --> 00:20:42,206
Can't wait to do this work for Mark. Boom.
495
00:20:42,206 --> 00:20:44,413
The studio will support Mark's creativity
496
00:20:44,413 --> 00:20:47,724
and the backyard will provide relaxation and downtime with his family.
497
00:20:56,068 --> 00:20:57,931
Things are shaping up in the backyard
498
00:20:57,931 --> 00:21:01,517
as the structural work continues to create the different outdoor spaces,
499
00:21:01,517 --> 00:21:04,655
and that's a good thing as time is not on our side.
500
00:21:04,655 --> 00:21:06,965
This renovation is about so much more than just
501
00:21:06,965 --> 00:21:08,827
pretty finishes and a deck for suntanning.
502
00:21:08,827 --> 00:21:10,620
Yeah, and Josh deeply respects Mark
503
00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:13,310
for not only who he is as a person, but also for his talent,
504
00:21:13,310 --> 00:21:16,655
so he wants to give him and his family a beautiful space
505
00:21:16,655 --> 00:21:18,275
where they can connect and unwind
506
00:21:18,275 --> 00:21:21,103
and he's been committed every single step of the way
507
00:21:21,103 --> 00:21:23,275
and he wants to make sure that every detail is perfect.
508
00:21:23,275 --> 00:21:24,517
This looks amazing.
509
00:21:24,517 --> 00:21:27,137
He's also helping us install this wood slab, privacy wall.
510
00:21:27,137 --> 00:21:29,413
This is all getting us one step closer.
511
00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:31,000
I imagine Mark is going to be out here
512
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,482
with this new privacy wall, just glistening, uh, tanning,
513
00:21:34,482 --> 00:21:36,689
whichever parts of him, he, he, he pleases.
514
00:21:36,689 --> 00:21:39,931
It says more about me than Mark that I'm imagining,
515
00:21:39,931 --> 00:21:42,655
you know, speedos or whatever.
516
00:21:42,655 --> 00:21:44,034
No judgement.
517
00:21:44,034 --> 00:21:46,586
This is the overlap that goes over top of the bar.
518
00:21:46,586 --> 00:21:48,310
- So it just fits in, it's like a puzzle. - Yep. Exactly.
519
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:50,517
You step back and tell us what you think.
520
00:21:50,517 --> 00:21:52,896
I already love it, but we wanted to give Mark
521
00:21:52,896 --> 00:21:54,172
the option is all I'm saying.
522
00:21:54,172 --> 00:21:56,517
You know, before we had the kumquat,
523
00:21:56,517 --> 00:21:59,965
picking was private, but now his entire bear
524
00:21:59,965 --> 00:22:02,724
can just take in as much vitamin D as he wants.
525
00:22:02,724 --> 00:22:04,137
You make Mark sound like an exhibitionist.
526
00:22:04,137 --> 00:22:06,000
Well, you know, I'm not saying he isn't,
527
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,655
I'm not saying he isn't isn't.
528
00:22:07,655 --> 00:22:09,862
This is going to be pretty fantastic.
529
00:22:09,862 --> 00:22:12,310
Josh may have built a really big career,
530
00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:15,206
but he's never built a house and he's honest about it too.
531
00:22:15,206 --> 00:22:16,379
It looks incredible.
532
00:22:16,379 --> 00:22:18,379
The first thing I'm noticing is just how fresh
533
00:22:18,379 --> 00:22:20,827
without the carbon monoxide pouring out of the heater.
534
00:22:20,827 --> 00:22:22,379
It feels just...
535
00:22:24,413 --> 00:22:26,689
Mark's garage was just filled with so many things,
536
00:22:26,689 --> 00:22:28,000
it was trying to be all things.
537
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,137
This is a band aid waiting to happen.
538
00:22:30,137 --> 00:22:31,379
Where would you like me?
539
00:22:31,379 --> 00:22:34,517
And to see it just clean space to do anything with we want
540
00:22:34,517 --> 00:22:36,034
was really, really exciting.
541
00:22:37,793 --> 00:22:40,068
What is the side of the garage gonna, gonna be?
542
00:22:40,068 --> 00:22:41,379
This is no longer a garage.
543
00:22:41,379 --> 00:22:42,827
This is a full fledged music studio
544
00:22:42,827 --> 00:22:44,034
and this will be the equipment side.
545
00:22:44,034 --> 00:22:45,482
That's amazing.
546
00:22:45,482 --> 00:22:47,862
It actually looks great hanging the drywall like he's done it before.
547
00:22:47,862 --> 00:22:49,344
All right, go for it. Screw it in.
548
00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:54,827
All right, that is not half bad.
549
00:22:54,827 --> 00:22:56,344
Everything's looking pretty good.
550
00:22:56,344 --> 00:22:59,137
- You guys are moving. - Yeah.
551
00:22:59,137 --> 00:23:01,758
I was here yesterday, it did not look like this.
552
00:23:01,758 --> 00:23:03,310
- That's 'cause we're pros. - Yeah.
553
00:23:03,310 --> 00:23:05,931
I have a really urgent decision to make.
554
00:23:05,931 --> 00:23:07,551
- Okay. - Do we have a table or something
555
00:23:07,551 --> 00:23:09,172
that these are all tile samples.
556
00:23:09,172 --> 00:23:11,379
Actually, yeah, can you guys drop your tools for one sec, give me a hand here.
557
00:23:11,379 --> 00:23:12,551
- Sure. - Yeah.
558
00:23:12,551 --> 00:23:15,551
- All right, hold that in. - Okay, I guess we're the legs.
559
00:23:15,551 --> 00:23:17,137
- Okay. - Drew, come around this way, Drew.
560
00:23:17,137 --> 00:23:18,931
Yeah. You just hold it right there.
561
00:23:18,931 --> 00:23:21,482
If our triceps aren't burning, what even is design?
562
00:23:21,482 --> 00:23:23,482
- Yeah, what even is it? - Exactly.
563
00:23:23,482 --> 00:23:26,896
Okay, these are a few options, so I think all of these options
564
00:23:26,896 --> 00:23:28,965
are not your typical pool tile
565
00:23:28,965 --> 00:23:30,655
and this is just on the waterline too,
566
00:23:30,655 --> 00:23:32,241
- so it's not the whole spot... - Oh, got it.
567
00:23:32,241 --> 00:23:33,448
It's just a border on the top.
568
00:23:33,448 --> 00:23:36,379
Is the color of the wood decking something to consider?
569
00:23:36,379 --> 00:23:37,724
- You're good. - I don't know.
570
00:23:37,724 --> 00:23:39,275
- Yeah. - I don't know.
571
00:23:39,275 --> 00:23:41,620
I feel like I wanna make sure that everything is looking cohesive, yeah.
572
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:43,137
- So it's like a medium brown. - Okay.
573
00:23:43,137 --> 00:23:44,793
You know, something to consider as well
574
00:23:44,793 --> 00:23:47,137
are my triceps are burning.
575
00:23:47,137 --> 00:23:49,206
- So if you guys wanna get things moving along. - Yeah.
576
00:23:49,206 --> 00:23:51,137
Hold on. Going to a new level.
577
00:23:51,137 --> 00:23:52,965
So between these two, what do you think, Josh?
578
00:23:52,965 --> 00:23:56,275
Um, I'm gonna go with this one all the way on the left here.
579
00:23:56,275 --> 00:23:58,275
- Okay. Love that. - If only because it's making it heavier
580
00:23:58,275 --> 00:23:59,758
- Uh... - Okay.
581
00:23:59,758 --> 00:24:02,551
I think holding the table while picking a color is actually good for me,
582
00:24:02,551 --> 00:24:05,551
because I tend to think things into oblivion.
583
00:24:05,551 --> 00:24:09,275
And I'm happy with, um, you know, the way my triceps look...
584
00:24:09,275 --> 00:24:11,000
this afternoon now, so it was a win-win.
585
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,620
I'll just leave this here, guys,
586
00:24:12,620 --> 00:24:14,689
um, and I'll go sort out that tile.
587
00:24:14,689 --> 00:24:15,896
Thank you!
588
00:24:24,482 --> 00:24:25,620
With only two weeks left
589
00:24:25,620 --> 00:24:27,448
until we see Mark and his family again.
590
00:24:27,448 --> 00:24:29,586
We're tackling a big to-do list.
591
00:24:29,586 --> 00:24:33,034
The hardscape has to be completed before we can add the design finishes.
592
00:24:33,034 --> 00:24:35,482
These concrete pads will define the spaces
593
00:24:35,482 --> 00:24:37,448
under a more robust wood pergola,
594
00:24:37,448 --> 00:24:39,793
and we'll add support for the deck around the hot tub.
595
00:24:39,793 --> 00:24:42,275
And in the garage, the first coat of seamless stone
596
00:24:42,275 --> 00:24:45,275
is being applied, and, no surprise, Josh is back.
597
00:24:45,275 --> 00:24:48,068
Frankly, at this point, he's basically the third Property Brother.
598
00:24:48,068 --> 00:24:50,931
With trowel in hand, he's helping us stay on schedule.
599
00:24:50,931 --> 00:24:52,551
I mean, this is obviously only the first coat,
600
00:24:52,551 --> 00:24:54,758
but it'll be consistent all the way through.
601
00:24:54,758 --> 00:24:57,310
The nice thing to this, underneath this much that we put down,
602
00:24:57,310 --> 00:24:58,965
that kinda makes it a little bit stronger, too.
603
00:24:58,965 --> 00:25:01,344
When we're done, you would never see any imperfections.
604
00:25:01,344 --> 00:25:02,793
Yeah, that's a good flooring for a studio
605
00:25:02,793 --> 00:25:04,344
and a good flooring for a garage.
606
00:25:04,344 --> 00:25:06,724
So what is, I mean, as is so often the case
607
00:25:06,724 --> 00:25:09,034
with, uh, construction and music,
608
00:25:09,034 --> 00:25:11,689
during a process like this, it's fun, it's goofy,
609
00:25:11,689 --> 00:25:14,724
but I have no idea what this is gonna actually look like at the end of the day.
610
00:25:14,724 --> 00:25:16,448
It's gonna look... Oh, there, like that.
611
00:25:17,655 --> 00:25:19,482
Oh, that's great.
612
00:25:19,482 --> 00:25:20,931
And it looks like cement.
613
00:25:20,931 --> 00:25:21,827
Like cement, yeah.
614
00:25:21,827 --> 00:25:23,206
Oh, that is handsome.
615
00:25:23,206 --> 00:25:24,517
- Yeah. - Yeah.
616
00:25:24,517 --> 00:25:27,172
I kind of like when elements are left to be what they are.
617
00:25:27,172 --> 00:25:29,517
I like stone, I like exposed wood and brick.
618
00:25:29,517 --> 00:25:31,241
And especially in a creative space,
619
00:25:31,241 --> 00:25:34,517
you want just a little bit of kind of a natural, kind of neutral feel to it.
620
00:25:34,517 --> 00:25:37,000
Uh, I think Mark's really, really gonna dig it.
621
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,034
I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed
622
00:25:39,034 --> 00:25:40,793
for your very first time working with a trowel.
623
00:25:40,793 --> 00:25:42,482
- Not bad? - Very good.
624
00:25:43,482 --> 00:25:44,551
Our trowels touched.
625
00:25:44,551 --> 00:25:47,103
Oh. That's the closest I've ever felt to you.
626
00:25:55,724 --> 00:25:57,482
With the concrete path fully cured,
627
00:25:57,482 --> 00:25:59,241
the crew is beginning to lay the decking.
628
00:25:59,241 --> 00:26:02,068
These are modified pine boards, so they're super resilient
629
00:26:02,068 --> 00:26:05,068
and will last for a long time without needing to be constantly restained.
630
00:26:05,068 --> 00:26:06,862
And while the privacy fence is being completed,
631
00:26:06,862 --> 00:26:09,034
Josh is on board to put the new pergola in place.
632
00:26:09,034 --> 00:26:10,827
This one is actually built to code,
633
00:26:10,827 --> 00:26:12,586
and it will be beautiful and safe,
634
00:26:12,586 --> 00:26:16,413
and cast shade on those cloudless California days.
635
00:26:16,413 --> 00:26:19,724
- All right. This is some heavy lifting. - Yeah.
636
00:26:19,724 --> 00:26:21,413
So what you're saying is we won't be able to blow it over.
637
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:22,448
- Correct. - Good.
638
00:26:22,448 --> 00:26:24,241
- I have questions. - That's a big beam.
639
00:26:24,241 --> 00:26:27,206
Questions, before you guys do some heavy lifting.
640
00:26:27,206 --> 00:26:30,241
Color options. Where are you guys gravitating towards?
641
00:26:30,241 --> 00:26:32,724
With all the work we're doing to update the backyard,
642
00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:34,413
there's just no way we could leave
643
00:26:34,413 --> 00:26:35,758
the exterior of the house the way it is.
644
00:26:35,758 --> 00:26:37,000
The one all the way on the left,
645
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,344
I like where it's going.
646
00:26:38,344 --> 00:26:40,517
Is there another kind of happy medium
647
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:42,551
between that and, like, something just a little warmer?
648
00:26:42,551 --> 00:26:45,068
The two grays on the side would be too much of a contrast
649
00:26:45,068 --> 00:26:46,517
- with the roof. - Yeah.
650
00:26:46,517 --> 00:26:49,103
So you guys agree then, the one on the left is where we should go,
651
00:26:49,103 --> 00:26:50,482
- just a bit warmer? - Yeah.
652
00:26:50,482 --> 00:26:52,517
I think so. And then, just right!
653
00:26:52,517 --> 00:26:53,931
I absolutely agree,
654
00:26:53,931 --> 00:26:56,551
and I've been known to add a little scope mid-build.
655
00:26:56,551 --> 00:26:58,275
- Understatement. - But this time, it was necessary.
656
00:26:58,275 --> 00:26:59,896
This modern, light gray tone,
657
00:26:59,896 --> 00:27:01,275
it's gonna pull the aesthetic together
658
00:27:01,275 --> 00:27:03,241
and elevate the entire backyard design.
659
00:27:08,586 --> 00:27:10,344
- All right. - Wow.
660
00:27:10,344 --> 00:27:11,965
- Flip toward you. - Toward me?
661
00:27:11,965 --> 00:27:13,413
- Okay. - Careful.
662
00:27:13,413 --> 00:27:14,620
Do you wanna do this one?
663
00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:16,793
I mean, really? Do you trust me at this point?
664
00:27:16,793 --> 00:27:19,620
You know, I was both flattered and also a little concerned
665
00:27:19,620 --> 00:27:22,103
that the guys kind of just handed me that saw.
666
00:27:22,103 --> 00:27:23,931
- Oh, God. - The biggest saw we have.
667
00:27:23,931 --> 00:27:26,241
Wow. How do I... Am I even holding it right? Oh, I'm holding it!
668
00:27:26,241 --> 00:27:27,931
You would lose some anatomy if you were to...
669
00:27:27,931 --> 00:27:29,827
As I lean it against my .
670
00:27:29,827 --> 00:27:33,379
Like... I don't feel like I've earned that yet, uh...
671
00:27:33,379 --> 00:27:34,241
Go for it.
672
00:27:39,103 --> 00:27:40,896
Ooh, that's nicely done.
673
00:27:40,896 --> 00:27:43,068
And you got all that man-glitter on you.
674
00:27:43,068 --> 00:27:45,689
I got the man-glitter. I am feeling dusty.
675
00:27:45,689 --> 00:27:47,586
- Dusty. - Is that flat-ish?
676
00:27:47,586 --> 00:27:49,620
- That's perfect, so... - Now, next time I do this,
677
00:27:49,620 --> 00:27:52,413
I can say, "It's not my first pergola."
678
00:27:52,413 --> 00:27:54,241
- Just lay the... On this edge. - Uh-huh.
679
00:27:54,241 --> 00:27:56,448
- All right. - And then together, we're gonna lift this up.
680
00:27:56,448 --> 00:27:57,482
This is very Scottish.
681
00:27:57,482 --> 00:27:59,206
- We're tossing the caber. - Here we are.
682
00:27:59,206 --> 00:28:02,655
The engineer called for a really substantial brace for the pergola.
683
00:28:02,655 --> 00:28:05,068
These are massive pieces of wood.
684
00:28:05,068 --> 00:28:06,034
- All right. - Kick it in.
685
00:28:06,034 --> 00:28:07,482
Just a tiny tap, yeah?
686
00:28:07,482 --> 00:28:09,172
And we wanna make sure it can withstand
687
00:28:09,172 --> 00:28:11,000
the pretty high winds that happen.
688
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,586
- This is a tight squeeze. - It's a tight fit there, yeah.
689
00:28:13,586 --> 00:28:15,172
Can I get a hammer, actually?
690
00:28:15,172 --> 00:28:18,206
But sometimes, things just don't slide in the way they're supposed to.
691
00:28:21,103 --> 00:28:22,551
Huh. We're there.
692
00:28:24,344 --> 00:28:26,137
I'm suddenly understanding the Styrofoam now.
693
00:28:27,586 --> 00:28:29,344
I don't often see the boys sweat.
694
00:28:29,344 --> 00:28:30,689
We're right on it.
695
00:28:32,379 --> 00:28:33,689
- My God. - And, um,
696
00:28:33,689 --> 00:28:35,689
they were glistening trying to get that in there.
697
00:28:35,689 --> 00:28:37,034
Keep it right there.
698
00:28:37,034 --> 00:28:38,586
- Oh, there it is. - Okay.
699
00:28:38,586 --> 00:28:40,413
We eventually got it, but it took a hammer.
700
00:28:41,275 --> 00:28:42,068
I see movement!
701
00:28:43,413 --> 00:28:45,931
- Yes! - Well, the good thing is this is one of four.
702
00:28:45,931 --> 00:28:48,172
I will never forget that pergola for as long as I live.
703
00:28:52,172 --> 00:28:53,896
Josh had to leave for a studio session,
704
00:28:53,896 --> 00:28:55,827
but that does not mean we can slow down.
705
00:28:55,827 --> 00:28:58,517
So while the paint crew preps the house for its color makeover,
706
00:28:58,517 --> 00:29:01,758
it's time for us to get this much-needed shed assembled.
707
00:29:01,758 --> 00:29:03,310
Mignon was saying she's totally cool
708
00:29:03,310 --> 00:29:04,931
letting Mark completely take over the garage,
709
00:29:04,931 --> 00:29:07,448
but she does have some stuff that needs to be stored.
710
00:29:07,448 --> 00:29:09,965
- Yeah. - This is a little bonus that will check off all the boxes.
711
00:29:09,965 --> 00:29:13,137
Their old shed was really undersized and just outdated.
712
00:29:13,137 --> 00:29:15,965
This is gonna be a really nice-looking shed,
713
00:29:15,965 --> 00:29:17,862
and a good size.
714
00:29:17,862 --> 00:29:20,344
So it will be a permanent replacement
715
00:29:20,344 --> 00:29:22,931
for any of that extra stuff they wanted to store in their garage.
716
00:29:24,758 --> 00:29:27,241
This backyard just wasn't living up to its potential,
717
00:29:27,241 --> 00:29:30,068
and Josh said Mark and his family love to be out there,
718
00:29:30,068 --> 00:29:32,413
so why not give them the best-looking space they could have?
719
00:29:32,413 --> 00:29:35,310
Every minutes that Mark is sunbathing in the nude out there,
720
00:29:35,310 --> 00:29:36,241
he's gonna love it.
721
00:29:42,482 --> 00:29:44,896
This is either a new chapter or the end of our friendship.
722
00:29:44,896 --> 00:29:47,310
Uh, but it was truly a labor of love.
723
00:29:47,310 --> 00:29:49,275
This is all for you. Look up.
724
00:29:49,275 --> 00:29:50,517
Oh,!
725
00:29:57,586 --> 00:30:00,413
With only a week left until Mark and his family come home,
726
00:30:00,413 --> 00:30:02,931
the whole crew is racing against the clock.
727
00:30:02,931 --> 00:30:05,241
The pandemic has been especially hard on Mark,
728
00:30:05,241 --> 00:30:08,379
a touring musician with no live concerts for over a year.
729
00:30:08,379 --> 00:30:11,172
Josh knows that Mark and his family deserve some support,
730
00:30:11,172 --> 00:30:13,068
so he wants to give his friend and bandmate
731
00:30:13,068 --> 00:30:15,827
a proper home studio and backyard retreat.
732
00:30:15,827 --> 00:30:18,827
The new translucent garage door is being installed.
733
00:30:18,827 --> 00:30:21,310
With all the natural light that will flood into the studio,
734
00:30:21,310 --> 00:30:23,620
Mark will finally have a bright, inspiring space
735
00:30:23,620 --> 00:30:25,034
to record and rehearse in.
736
00:30:25,034 --> 00:30:26,310
And while Jonathan is offsite,
737
00:30:26,310 --> 00:30:27,862
Josh is tagging in yet again
738
00:30:27,862 --> 00:30:29,931
to help me install the spa tile.
739
00:30:29,931 --> 00:30:32,344
- So we're just throwing a little tile down here. - Okay.
740
00:30:32,344 --> 00:30:34,172
- We picked that one that you pointed out. - Yeah.
741
00:30:34,172 --> 00:30:35,931
- That you like. - I think that's a good, kind of happy medium
742
00:30:35,931 --> 00:30:38,103
between all the different... It's the right bowl of porridge.
743
00:30:38,103 --> 00:30:40,896
And also, the outdoor area here is gonna be, you know, for the whole family,
744
00:30:40,896 --> 00:30:43,655
- so it's gotta be, I think, more neutral colors. - Yeah.
745
00:30:43,655 --> 00:30:46,034
So we're gonna line all of our tile right up to the edge here,
746
00:30:46,034 --> 00:30:47,655
the decking will come right over top.
747
00:30:47,655 --> 00:30:49,206
So it's just an accent.
748
00:30:49,206 --> 00:30:51,172
Yeah, exactly. It's just something where the water...
749
00:30:51,172 --> 00:30:52,758
The water's gonna come up to this level here.
750
00:30:52,758 --> 00:30:54,689
It's gonna look gorgeous. Nice, clean line.
751
00:30:54,689 --> 00:30:56,655
- So if you goop it, I plop it? - Yeah.
752
00:31:00,068 --> 00:31:02,413
We decided to layer tiles vertically for the tub.
753
00:31:02,413 --> 00:31:04,689
One, it makes sense because it's a round tub,
754
00:31:04,689 --> 00:31:05,896
easier to lay that tile.
755
00:31:05,896 --> 00:31:07,379
So in between, we'll have a grout,
756
00:31:07,379 --> 00:31:09,448
but we're just gonna do something that's a close match to the tile.
757
00:31:09,448 --> 00:31:11,068
- Okay. - And two,
758
00:31:11,068 --> 00:31:12,551
we wanted to do something that felt a little more fresh and different
759
00:31:12,551 --> 00:31:14,241
than every other spa out there from the '80s.
760
00:31:14,241 --> 00:31:16,000
They're never gonna go back inside.
761
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,034
They're just gonna live there. They're gonna be so prune-y.
762
00:31:18,034 --> 00:31:19,655
Yeah.
763
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:22,310
Slowly, but surely, the entire space is becoming what Josh envisioned,
764
00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:24,448
a creative space for Mark to work,
765
00:31:24,448 --> 00:31:27,551
and a private outdoor oasis for him and his entire family.
766
00:31:34,344 --> 00:31:35,620
As the days are winding down,
767
00:31:35,620 --> 00:31:37,620
the crew is cranking on all cylinders.
768
00:31:40,689 --> 00:31:43,413
And this place is literally coming alive.
769
00:31:45,068 --> 00:31:47,827
Mark's wife Mignon has a passion for gardening,
770
00:31:47,827 --> 00:31:51,000
so we're giving the backyard all the greenery she can imagine.
771
00:31:52,137 --> 00:31:53,724
Now that the garage is painted,
772
00:31:53,724 --> 00:31:55,482
the audio technicians are installing
773
00:31:55,482 --> 00:31:57,551
state-of-the-art piano and recording equipment
774
00:31:57,551 --> 00:31:59,241
for Mark's new studio.
775
00:31:59,241 --> 00:32:00,448
And with everything going on,
776
00:32:00,448 --> 00:32:03,482
Josh is back to help us finish off the deck boards.
777
00:32:05,344 --> 00:32:07,206
So we talked about doing an outdoor kitchen over here.
778
00:32:07,206 --> 00:32:08,793
Yeah, that's where it's gonna go, right there.
779
00:32:08,793 --> 00:32:11,034
Yeah, and so originally, the thought was,
780
00:32:11,034 --> 00:32:13,241
why don't we do it in kind of an L-shape with a peninsula?
781
00:32:13,241 --> 00:32:15,206
- And then have some stools and whatnot. - Nice.
782
00:32:15,206 --> 00:32:17,689
But if we have a dining table over here under the pergola,
783
00:32:17,689 --> 00:32:20,517
you still wanna have that main flow through.
784
00:32:20,517 --> 00:32:23,620
What if we were to just cut off the peninsula idea,
785
00:32:23,620 --> 00:32:24,724
and then, everything's open?
786
00:32:24,724 --> 00:32:26,344
I think giving yourself as much space as you want
787
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:28,310
for entertaining, for laying out, for tables,
788
00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:29,448
I think that's a great idea.
789
00:32:29,448 --> 00:32:31,103
As the design comes together
790
00:32:31,103 --> 00:32:33,379
and you can really feel how a space is working,
791
00:32:33,379 --> 00:32:34,689
sometimes, you have to pivot,
792
00:32:34,689 --> 00:32:37,655
and I think losing the L-shape will create more openness,
793
00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:39,310
and just make better use of the space.
794
00:32:39,310 --> 00:32:41,344
Mark's gonna be thrilled, the family's gonna be thrilled,
795
00:32:41,344 --> 00:32:44,275
and I got to get my hands dirty to make it happen, so thank you.
796
00:32:44,275 --> 00:32:45,827
- Making dreams come true. - That's it.
797
00:32:48,482 --> 00:32:50,275
We're in the final push to Mark's home,
798
00:32:50,275 --> 00:32:52,620
and the crew is throwing everything they've got
799
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:54,206
to make this four-week deadline.
800
00:32:54,206 --> 00:32:56,517
If inside, the kitchen is the heart of the home,
801
00:32:56,517 --> 00:32:59,241
this outdoor kitchen will surely be the soul.
802
00:32:59,241 --> 00:33:01,827
Josh said Mark just does everything for everyone else,
803
00:33:01,827 --> 00:33:03,000
especially his family.
804
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,655
Everything he does in life is for them.
805
00:33:04,655 --> 00:33:06,551
But this is truly for Mark,
806
00:33:06,551 --> 00:33:10,103
and Josh wants his good friend to know how much he's loved and appreciated.
807
00:33:10,103 --> 00:33:13,620
A professional home studio, and a backyard paradise for his family.
808
00:33:26,655 --> 00:33:28,931
- Coming through. - There's like a little pebble island here.
809
00:33:28,931 --> 00:33:30,620
- Exactly. - Yeah, it's nice.
810
00:33:30,620 --> 00:33:32,896
Beautiful chairs, I love this kind of knotted...
811
00:33:32,896 --> 00:33:35,413
- They're so knotty. - They're so knotty, aren't they?
812
00:33:35,413 --> 00:33:37,517
Mark comes back in just 24 hours,
813
00:33:37,517 --> 00:33:40,137
so Josh is here to help us out with all the last minute details.
814
00:33:40,137 --> 00:33:42,379
This is just the kind of space you just wanna stay in.
815
00:33:42,379 --> 00:33:43,793
All day, all night.
816
00:33:43,793 --> 00:33:45,793
And, uh, I bet at night with the lights, it looks pretty cool, too.
817
00:33:45,793 --> 00:33:47,862
- And it won't fall down on you. - That's the best part.
818
00:33:47,862 --> 00:33:51,379
All the memories of my family, most of them happened outdoors.
819
00:33:51,379 --> 00:33:53,448
It's gonna be amazing, this is the perfect space for the family,
820
00:33:53,448 --> 00:33:55,172
it's great for Mark to lay out and tan.
821
00:33:55,172 --> 00:33:57,344
- Yeah. - I just hope they love it. They deserve it so much,
822
00:33:57,344 --> 00:34:00,724
and collect memories for, you know, a very, very long time to come.
823
00:34:00,724 --> 00:34:03,344
- Over top. - Lumbar support.
824
00:34:03,344 --> 00:34:07,103
It's functional, it's fashionable, and just absolutely night and day.
825
00:34:07,103 --> 00:34:08,827
When you're working, do you have, like,
826
00:34:08,827 --> 00:34:10,827
friends and family who come in and sit in on your sessions and stuff?
827
00:34:10,827 --> 00:34:13,241
That's the best part. That's the best part of being in the lab is,
828
00:34:13,241 --> 00:34:14,448
um, inviting people.
829
00:34:14,448 --> 00:34:16,137
- I hope he loves it. - I'm sure he will.
830
00:34:16,137 --> 00:34:18,172
This has got everything that I would want in a studio.
831
00:34:18,172 --> 00:34:20,275
You'd expect a world-class musician
832
00:34:20,275 --> 00:34:22,517
to have a world-class studio space,
833
00:34:22,517 --> 00:34:24,103
and Josh made that happen.
834
00:34:24,103 --> 00:34:26,620
This is now a space that Mark can be proud to bring people over.
835
00:34:26,620 --> 00:34:28,862
He can have collaborators come over and join him,
836
00:34:28,862 --> 00:34:31,344
listen to his tracks, hear him create music.
837
00:34:31,344 --> 00:34:32,896
We feel good? Everything looks good?
838
00:34:32,896 --> 00:34:34,172
I think it just looks so clean.
839
00:34:34,172 --> 00:34:35,896
I think he's... I think he's gonna absolutely love it.
840
00:34:35,896 --> 00:34:37,413
- I think he's gonna flip. - Yes!
841
00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:40,793
Just imagine how much more beautiful his music with Josh will become
842
00:34:40,793 --> 00:34:42,413
now that he has this inspiring space.
843
00:34:56,172 --> 00:34:57,344
Today's the big day.
844
00:34:58,344 --> 00:34:59,965
Working with Drew and Jonathan,
845
00:34:59,965 --> 00:35:02,206
I've gotten to know my way around a sledgehammer.
846
00:35:02,206 --> 00:35:03,793
- Don't be scared. - Ah.
847
00:35:03,793 --> 00:35:05,344
- Did some sawing. - Really?
848
00:35:05,344 --> 00:35:07,172
- Done some hammering. Oh, yeah, you'd be very impressed. - Hands on. Wow.
849
00:35:07,172 --> 00:35:09,655
I really hope you like the things that have been done.
850
00:35:09,655 --> 00:35:12,413
This is either a new chapter or the end of our friendship.
851
00:35:13,551 --> 00:35:15,379
But it was truly a labor of love.
852
00:35:15,379 --> 00:35:17,896
- What do you say? Are you ready to see? - I'm ready, yeah.
853
00:35:17,896 --> 00:35:19,206
- I'm so nervous! - I'm super excited.
854
00:35:19,206 --> 00:35:20,896
I'm so excited. I'm so nervous.
855
00:35:20,896 --> 00:35:22,689
I don't recognize it, sorry.
856
00:35:23,517 --> 00:35:25,000
Wrong house.
857
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,206
Mark has been away from the house for a few weeks now,
858
00:35:27,206 --> 00:35:29,586
and I can only imagine what is running through his mind.
859
00:35:29,586 --> 00:35:32,068
- Oh, man! - Mark!
860
00:35:32,068 --> 00:35:33,689
- Ta-da! - Ha!
861
00:35:33,689 --> 00:35:35,000
- Notice anything different? - Wow.
862
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,689
- All we did is change the garage doors. - That's it.
863
00:35:36,689 --> 00:35:39,586
- That's the whole thing. - What's the first impression?
864
00:35:39,586 --> 00:35:41,862
It's incredible. It's beautiful, it's bright.
865
00:35:41,862 --> 00:35:43,862
And, wow, sharp. Really sharp.
866
00:35:48,172 --> 00:35:49,241
The house looks completely different.
867
00:35:52,724 --> 00:35:54,862
And the whole new garage door,
868
00:35:54,862 --> 00:35:57,172
it looks so beautiful, I can't believe it.
869
00:35:57,172 --> 00:35:58,758
But I think we should get out of the heat
870
00:35:58,758 --> 00:36:00,896
- and get into your new garage. - I think that's a good idea. Okay.
871
00:36:00,896 --> 00:36:02,413
You can tell he's a little nervous.
872
00:36:02,413 --> 00:36:04,137
He sees the paint color has changed,
873
00:36:04,137 --> 00:36:05,586
the garage door has changed.
874
00:36:05,586 --> 00:36:07,379
- You're, like... - Are you nervous?
875
00:36:07,379 --> 00:36:08,620
I think I'm... I am nervous, yeah.
876
00:36:08,620 --> 00:36:10,310
But he has no idea what's coming.
877
00:36:10,310 --> 00:36:12,482
- All right, Mark, this is all for you. - This is all for you.
878
00:36:12,482 --> 00:36:15,206
He wants to see what is behind door number one.
879
00:36:15,206 --> 00:36:17,896
- And... look up. - Hello.
880
00:36:17,896 --> 00:36:19,724
Oh, !
881
00:36:19,724 --> 00:36:22,206
Oh, my God!
882
00:36:27,862 --> 00:36:29,586
- Are you nervous? - I think I'm... I am nervous, yeah.
883
00:36:29,586 --> 00:36:31,000
He has not idea what's coming.
884
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,689
- All right, Mark, this is all for you. - This is all for you.
885
00:36:32,689 --> 00:36:34,793
He wants to see what is behind door number one.
886
00:36:34,793 --> 00:36:37,310
- And... look up. - Hello.
887
00:36:37,310 --> 00:36:39,482
Oh, !
888
00:36:40,724 --> 00:36:42,310
Oh, my God.
889
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:45,413
It's so beautiful, I don't even recognize it at all.
890
00:36:45,413 --> 00:36:47,172
Welcome to Studio de Mark.
891
00:36:47,172 --> 00:36:48,379
Wow.
892
00:36:56,689 --> 00:36:59,689
It means the world to me. I can't really fathom that this guy would do this.
893
00:36:59,689 --> 00:37:01,137
- For me. - You're the best, Mark.
894
00:37:01,137 --> 00:37:03,275
We love you. Everybody who helped loves you,
895
00:37:03,275 --> 00:37:05,931
and I wanted to make a space for you that made you feel like
896
00:37:05,931 --> 00:37:07,758
as soon as you exit that door and come in here,
897
00:37:07,758 --> 00:37:08,620
this is Mark-zone.
898
00:37:11,344 --> 00:37:15,310
Somebody as talented as you needs to have their tools at the ready at all times
899
00:37:15,310 --> 00:37:17,724
in a place that makes them feel inspired.
900
00:37:17,724 --> 00:37:20,413
I can't even hide it. It's just overwhelming,
901
00:37:20,413 --> 00:37:24,000
that this would happen to me in my life, you know.
902
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,965
- Have a seat. - Get in your new captain's chair.
903
00:37:25,965 --> 00:37:29,482
And with Josh leading the direction, I knew it was gonna be something special.
904
00:37:29,482 --> 00:37:31,862
And it's incredible. It's so beautiful.
905
00:37:31,862 --> 00:37:34,068
We've essentially created three zones.
906
00:37:35,103 --> 00:37:38,482
Your work space, your lounge space,
907
00:37:38,482 --> 00:37:41,482
your "Get rid of that crappy bike you had before" space.
908
00:37:41,482 --> 00:37:42,758
- That damn pillow! - Where's my pillow?
909
00:37:44,172 --> 00:37:46,068
I mean, that old bike broke.
910
00:37:46,068 --> 00:37:47,793
- That bike broke? - It finally broke, yep.
911
00:37:47,793 --> 00:37:49,413
You're saying it wasn't already?
912
00:37:49,413 --> 00:37:50,827
- No. - Wow.
913
00:37:52,275 --> 00:37:53,896
A lot of the little details in here
914
00:37:53,896 --> 00:37:55,965
are hopefully gonna make working in here better,
915
00:37:55,965 --> 00:37:57,793
like the acoustical panels on the wall,
916
00:37:57,793 --> 00:37:59,793
that's to kill some of that echo,
917
00:37:59,793 --> 00:38:01,344
absorb some of that sound.
918
00:38:01,344 --> 00:38:04,172
This is a space where you could make real records, you know,
919
00:38:04,172 --> 00:38:07,068
I couldn't do that before. I didn't have the computer to do it.
920
00:38:07,068 --> 00:38:10,517
Or the monitors or the acoustic panel or anything, or the space.
921
00:38:10,517 --> 00:38:12,689
Look, I wanted you to have a space where you felt like
922
00:38:12,689 --> 00:38:14,206
you could escape into your own creativity.
923
00:38:14,206 --> 00:38:15,862
So you've got everything in front of you.
924
00:38:15,862 --> 00:38:18,310
And then it gives us the whole rest of the garage
925
00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:20,137
to have, you know, people over
926
00:38:20,137 --> 00:38:22,137
or you could put a mic there and you could do vocals.
927
00:38:22,137 --> 00:38:23,482
Makes me wanna get to work right away.
928
00:38:26,517 --> 00:38:27,862
I'm getting an idea right now!
929
00:38:27,862 --> 00:38:29,793
It's beautiful, man, I mean, it's a dream come true.
930
00:38:29,793 --> 00:38:32,137
Because I never had a studio in my life, you know.
931
00:38:32,137 --> 00:38:34,655
So to have it in your own space, your own house,
932
00:38:34,655 --> 00:38:36,241
it's incredible, man.
933
00:38:36,241 --> 00:38:39,068
I can't start talking about it. I'm gonna start crying again, so.
934
00:38:39,068 --> 00:38:42,034
It's the biggest blessing that's ever happened to me, I gotta say.
935
00:38:42,034 --> 00:38:45,827
Let it out, Mark. It's okay. You're a big, tall, strong man, Mark.
936
00:38:45,827 --> 00:38:48,620
Kind of feel there's one thing we're missing here.
937
00:38:48,620 --> 00:38:51,931
Oh, my... Oh, my God, I can't.
938
00:38:51,931 --> 00:38:54,000
- Yay! - Oh, my God!
939
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Okay. Okay.
940
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,482
The whole family was crying.
941
00:38:56,482 --> 00:38:59,310
It was all tears of joy, because this is really life-changing for Mark.
942
00:38:59,310 --> 00:39:00,965
Oh, my God!
943
00:39:00,965 --> 00:39:02,724
It's all about having a space where,
944
00:39:02,724 --> 00:39:05,862
if the family wants to come in and see what Mark's doing,
945
00:39:05,862 --> 00:39:07,379
he's now got a setup for it.
946
00:39:07,379 --> 00:39:09,551
Well, I can see that this means a lot to your family, as well.
947
00:39:09,551 --> 00:39:12,758
Thank you!
948
00:39:12,758 --> 00:39:15,103
My wife is so emotional, and I'm just happy to see that,
949
00:39:15,103 --> 00:39:16,758
'cause she put a lot into this, too,
950
00:39:16,758 --> 00:39:19,034
behind the scenes, before I even knew about it.
951
00:39:19,034 --> 00:39:21,413
It's for you, oh, my God!
952
00:39:22,551 --> 00:39:23,931
Thank you. Thank you, guys.
953
00:39:23,931 --> 00:39:27,241
This is something really important that Josh wanted to do for Mark,
954
00:39:27,241 --> 00:39:29,137
but Josh loves all of you,
955
00:39:29,137 --> 00:39:31,310
and he wanted to make sure he did something for all of you.
956
00:39:31,310 --> 00:39:32,896
Follow us.
957
00:39:32,896 --> 00:39:35,517
This whole journey is an emotional one.
958
00:39:35,517 --> 00:39:36,896
Keep your eyes down.
959
00:39:36,896 --> 00:39:39,068
This is Josh putting his heart on his sleeve
960
00:39:39,068 --> 00:39:42,379
and just saying, "Hey, you have given everything for me."
961
00:39:42,379 --> 00:39:44,758
- You can stop there. - It's my turn to give back.
962
00:39:44,758 --> 00:39:46,172
Open your eyes!
963
00:39:46,172 --> 00:39:48,172
Oh, my God!
964
00:39:54,896 --> 00:39:57,034
What do you think, Mark? This is for the whole family.
965
00:39:57,034 --> 00:39:58,068
This is for the family.
966
00:40:03,551 --> 00:40:05,275
There's a lot of things you might not have noticed.
967
00:40:05,275 --> 00:40:06,931
Look at your back wall, first of all.
968
00:40:06,931 --> 00:40:08,896
I can't see them anymore!
969
00:40:08,896 --> 00:40:10,724
- Awesome, yes! - A little more privacy.
970
00:40:10,724 --> 00:40:13,620
And to set the mood, when it's nighttime,
971
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:16,827
you have a starry-light pattern across the deck here.
972
00:40:16,827 --> 00:40:19,379
That's all sconce lighting on the top,
973
00:40:19,379 --> 00:40:21,275
and then you have in-garden lighting.
974
00:40:21,275 --> 00:40:23,827
The mood back here is so cool at night.
975
00:40:23,827 --> 00:40:26,034
Josh even helped re-tile your hot tub.
976
00:40:26,034 --> 00:40:28,517
I did. I had fun jackhammering it
977
00:40:28,517 --> 00:40:30,103
to get all the other tiles off. That was really fun.
978
00:40:30,103 --> 00:40:32,068
- It's beautiful. - Come on in.
979
00:40:32,068 --> 00:40:34,068
They're beyond excited. They're flipping out.
980
00:40:34,068 --> 00:40:35,620
They're so happy right now, you know.
981
00:40:35,620 --> 00:40:39,000
We hand out in the backyard a lot, and play games and stuff. It's great.
982
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,931
Do you remember before, you had that big planter
983
00:40:41,931 --> 00:40:43,586
- that was taking up so much space? - Oh, yeah.
984
00:40:44,206 --> 00:40:45,758
It looks so big!
985
00:40:45,758 --> 00:40:48,724
- The deck is so beautiful. - I love all the greenery!
986
00:40:48,724 --> 00:40:50,896
Everything is so amazing!
987
00:40:50,896 --> 00:40:52,379
Every time Mark's smile got bigger,
988
00:40:52,379 --> 00:40:53,655
Josh's smile got bigger.
989
00:40:53,655 --> 00:40:55,827
I just think he loves seeing Mark and his family so happy.
990
00:40:55,827 --> 00:40:57,172
I just can't wait to come back here
991
00:40:57,172 --> 00:40:58,965
and jam with you and have a beer with you back here.
992
00:40:58,965 --> 00:41:00,965
- Yeah, absolutely! - And when he does come back,
993
00:41:00,965 --> 00:41:03,000
- you gotta grill for him. - Oh, my God!
994
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,655
I've been eyeing it.
995
00:41:04,655 --> 00:41:06,724
- This is, like, state-of-the-art. - Oh, my God!
996
00:41:06,724 --> 00:41:08,172
It has two levels!
997
00:41:08,172 --> 00:41:09,310
Double-door mini-fridge.
998
00:41:09,310 --> 00:41:11,689
Oh, my God!
999
00:41:11,689 --> 00:41:14,137
The wind had already started the demolition on the pergola,
1000
00:41:14,137 --> 00:41:16,068
'cause that thing looked like it was about to collapse.
1001
00:41:16,068 --> 00:41:17,482
- It really was. - It really was.
1002
00:41:17,482 --> 00:41:19,448
- Well, what do you think of this? - It's so big!
1003
00:41:19,448 --> 00:41:21,310
I can't believe it!
1004
00:41:21,310 --> 00:41:22,896
Mark, look at this side of the house.
1005
00:41:22,896 --> 00:41:24,275
- Oh, wow. - You have a whole new shed.
1006
00:41:24,275 --> 00:41:25,482
A beautiful-looking shed.
1007
00:41:25,482 --> 00:41:27,586
- You don't have to crowd your workspace. - That's great.
1008
00:41:27,586 --> 00:41:29,034
In fact, you don't have to crowd anything.
1009
00:41:29,034 --> 00:41:31,620
You have so much space now you can just spread out as a family.
1010
00:41:31,620 --> 00:41:33,379
- Yeah, exactly. - It's beautiful, man.
1011
00:41:33,379 --> 00:41:35,689
This is amazing.
1012
00:41:35,689 --> 00:41:37,137
When do you think we should do the first party?
1013
00:41:37,137 --> 00:41:38,758
Now! Right now!
1014
00:41:38,758 --> 00:41:41,965
I'll come by every now and then. I'll just rat-a-tat-tat on your garage door.
1015
00:41:41,965 --> 00:41:44,000
-"Please, sir!" -"Let me in!"
1016
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,689
"Can I make a song and have a jacuzzi?"
1017
00:41:46,862 --> 00:41:48,068
Oh, what key is that?
1018
00:41:52,172 --> 00:41:55,068
How are you actually making Drew sound good?
1019
00:41:55,068 --> 00:41:56,517
You've been practicing or something.
1020
00:41:56,517 --> 00:41:58,793
Have you had, like, secret accordion lessons or something?
1021
00:41:58,793 --> 00:42:00,310
You'll never know.
1022
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,413
Now, when you're on stage,
1023
00:42:26,413 --> 00:42:28,068
it can feel pretty isolating.
1024
00:42:28,068 --> 00:42:30,931
You know, the constant is Mark sitting back there
1025
00:42:30,931 --> 00:42:33,965
and I know that he's got my back, and I know that, whatever happens,
1026
00:42:33,965 --> 00:42:34,965
we're gonna go with it.
1027
00:42:34,965 --> 00:42:36,862
To an amazing musician and friend,
1028
00:42:36,862 --> 00:42:38,482
we were so happy to do this for you,
1029
00:42:38,482 --> 00:42:39,896
and for your amazing family.
1030
00:42:39,896 --> 00:42:41,310
We love you so much, Mark.
1031
00:42:41,310 --> 00:42:43,758
- Cheers. - Congratulations.
1032
00:42:43,758 --> 00:42:46,068
Man, oh, man, oh, man. It's incredible, Josh.
1033
00:42:46,068 --> 00:42:48,172
You know, your gig has meant a lot to me.
1034
00:42:48,172 --> 00:42:49,379
You mean a lot to me,
1035
00:42:49,379 --> 00:42:51,068
and then to think that you would do something like this
1036
00:42:51,068 --> 00:42:53,827
after all these years together, it just blows my mind.
1037
00:42:53,827 --> 00:42:56,896
Cheers to you, and all the amazing music and memories you're gonna make.
1038
00:42:56,896 --> 00:42:58,896
- Thank you. - I'm very lucky, too, my friend.
1039
00:42:58,896 --> 00:43:01,793
- So thank you. - Incredible. Thank you, man.
1040
00:43:02,689 --> 00:43:05,482
- I'm gonna hug you. - We love you.
1041
00:43:05,482 --> 00:43:07,896
- Thank you so much. This is so incredible. - Cheers!
