for the show.

He did, he works for me.

Oh, okay.

- Anyone?

- Confident.

Confident, okay. How about over here?

I didn't see you down at the seminar.

Oh, well, you should have told me

you were coming to the seminar,

I would have set things up for you, baby.

You know, got your full access passes

and everything.

Yeah, I would like to do

my own research though, thank you.

How many had a vision of someone?

Now, I am not saying that you are or you

are not going to end up with this man,

but...

An idea when flamed

might just catch fire.

And to catch that kind of fire,

you all need to go out and

buy a copy of The Bounce Back.

Okay, we like to look at all sides

here on Live Night,

so let's bring out our next guest.

She is a licensed clinical psychologist,

Kristin Peralto. Come on down, girl!

So what's going on?

The same thing that went down

at the seminar.

Kristin, you specialize

in love and relationships.

Wait a minute!

You don't agree with Matthew's assertions.

No, I don't.

Mr. Taylor and people of his ilk

are charlatans.

Oh!

Meaning they have very good intuition

about what makes people tick,

about what people want to hear,

and what's going to

make people feel better

about themselves, at least temporarily.

And what's so wrong with that?

Well, self-help gurus like you

sell a magical elixir

that's going to lead to lifelong happiness

without any work or sacrifice

and that's a sham.

It's just not possible.

And the only reason people are willing to

believe you is because they are vulnerable.

What the hell are you up to?

Just what she said,

presenting both sides of the argument.

No, no, no, no, argument,

no one is having an argument with nobody.

Trust me.

I just did you a big favor.

No, you trust me,

I'm going to talk to your boss

and this is not the last time

you will see me, trust me.

See, when I was in therapy,

the conversation

was always about the process,

the road you're going to have to endure

and how you have to grieve

in order to move forward,

but see my book

The Bounce Back isn't about grieving,

it's about creating.

That's because you're unwilling

to face uncomfortable truths.

Well, here is the truth, as I know it.

I have tried it your way,

it just didn't work for me,

so I developed my own way,

maybe you should give it a try

as a professional courtesy.

If you are implying that

we're in the same profession, we are not.

My job as a therapist is to increase

the individual sense of well-being,

not to fill their heads with fantasies

about the rippling abs in their future

that's what E.L James is for.

All right, well that's the perfect place

to cut this off.

Thank you Matthew Taylor

and Kristin Peralto,

and we will see you guys tomorrow.

So, where's the other guy?

He didn't seem too happy.

He wasn't.

They told me to let you have it.

Don't think I got that memo.

Look, that really sucked.

Um, I am not a bad person really.

Can I buy you a coffee? Truce?

Let's make it a drink.

Yeah, we can get a drink.

When in Home, huh?

I highly doubt the Romans drank that.

Is that what you studied at, uh, hmm...

What's that school you went to again,

that school?

Subtle.

Sports Science at Georgetown

and then Law at UCLA,

I was on track to be a sports agent.

So you were a jock in college?

Says the drama student.

Drama is very therapeutic. Thank you!

And how do you know I was in drama?

Psychic abilities.

Just because you have a voice

in your head doesn't make you a psychic.

Do you ever wonder why that voice

in your head is usually very negative?

Well, there is never a single reason why.

There's always some underlying

personal Night is at work.

Okay.

What if you could control that voice?

You can't control your subconscious.

That is true,

but you can choose to listen to it

when it's good and ignore it when it's bad.

Okay. How?

- You really want to know?

- Yeah.

- I don't think you mean it.

- No, I do.

- No, you don't.

- Don't tell me what I mean.

I actually want to know how.

It would be very helpful for me

to ignore the voice in my head.

You are terrible!

- Just read it.

- Never!

- That hurts!

- Good!

If I am bored out of my

mind, I'll consider.

You have really beautiful eyes,

you know that?

Sorry!

Hello!

What the hell is this?

An apology drink.

Apology-

- Really?

- You're crazy, Matthew!

That's crazy, I guess.

I don't know, should I?

Producers at The Chat just called.

- Are you serious?

- Yup!

That's a good thing, right?

- They want the two of you.

- They do?

Why not?

I'll tell you why not, message confusion.

We have a brand.

We can't be out here presenting it and let

Ms. Fire-Breather try and burn it down.

- She is right there.

- I don't care!

Hey, are you guys doing this?

It's kind of a big deal, right?

No, we're not doing it.

Um, they're not doing it.

- How come?

- Because we don't like you.

Okay.

- He doesn't mean that like...

- Yes, I do! Don't lie.

No, I don't.

Did you hear that?

Hold on!

Ah!

Hello!

No, we're not doing it.

I know who you are...

Why? Because we don't know

who she is, do you?

Does she have any lawsuits out there

for malpractice?

She is a therapist, not an MD.

Look, we have the best-selling book

in the country.

Yes, and she is just

a venom-spewing hatemonger

trying to tap my

client's celebrity status.

Excuse me?

Nobody is tapping anybody.

He is just talking.

- You heard me.

- Why don't you tell those D-list

pop psychologists

that I took it easy on them,

and if they ever have the balls

to face me again,

I will expose their fortune cookie theories

and the napkin they thought it all up on.

Okay, guys, seriously.

- Fortune cookie?

- Fortune cookie!

You know what, your talk show days

are over anyway, Ms. Lady!

- Great! Wonderful!

- Fantastic!

I can't believe I spent $35

on two stupid drinks.

- I'll take care of it.

- Don't you dare!

Oh, we dare! We dare!

- You get off! You get off it!

- Let go!

We dare the most!

All right.

Get out of here as quickly as possible.

You are a true gentleman!

Oh, you've got your credit card on you?

I'll pay you back.

You know I am good.

Come on, man. Stop playing.

I got it! I got...

"How To Grow Your Business Today"?

Stupid!

Really?

Not so cute anymore, huh, Matthew Taylor.

Bounce back from this!

Hi.

Um...

We know each other.

It's a really long story.

I'll get this.

Hey, there.

Hey, Julie.

She is going to be a few.

Do you want to come inside for a minute?

Oh!

I'm fine. Thanks. I'm okay.

George and I

started reading The Bounce Back.

Matthew, it's really great!

I can see why you're having

so much success with it.

You know, you should really talk to him.

I think that you...

Oh! No.

I'm fine.

It's okay, but thank you though.

Well, I just wanted you to know

that you are always welcome.

Thank you.

Bye!

Take care.

- Hey, babe!

- Hi!

Have fun, okay?

- Love you.

- I love you too.

Hey, short stuff.
