Hey, Randall, I'm just heading out, so let me call you in a bit.

I'm going to play golf with my mom.

Yes, I play golf now.

No, not professionally, because golf is really hard.

I bet you could be a professional anything you wanted.

How come I never hear you drive up?

Is my speaker box broken? We need to talk about you turning down the

I have a tea time. I'll text your mom and explain. She'll understand.

You text with my mom?

We're on a Chicago fire group chat.

Text the big guy's mama.

Tell her Dewey can't make it.

He needs to meet with his best friend.

The country is in crisis, he said. It's a national emergency, he said.

Taff just wants me to save his ass.

I mean, you remember that dirty campaign he ran against me. Why would I help

him? For the greater good?

Haven't you worked with someone you don't like before and don't say me? Yes,

course I have.

You're under the shade, man. You don't need all that.

Oh, uh...

I don't trust the umbrella fabric.

Oh.

Oh, it's your mom.

She texted three middle fingers.

Where is that emoji?

Incoming call.

Now she's calling. She always does this. She texts and then she calls before I

could even text her back.

Why would you ruin a golf day with my son? I just got a new visor. Hey, Mom.

I'm sorry I got caught up here with Randall. It's okay. Go ahead and play

round. I'll see you soon. Okay. Well, I'm going to win then.

I'm going to put down that I won.

Technically, you shouldn't put down that I won because we have to play the game.

Why don't you go get something to eat, Mo? It's all good. I'll see you soon.

Okay, bye, Dewey.

Randall, why do you have so much sunscreen on? Okay, bye.

I love her so much.

You know, it's perfect that she called, actually, as we're talking about people

we don't like working with, because that's become legend in my family. Like

my mom had to work with Lars Anderson at Polynesian Pro Wrestling. Yeah, I

remember you telling me about that, how she gave Lars a chance despite the fact

that she was frustrated that Leah hired him. Yeah, that's right. That was in

1985, and my mom was working for my grandmother's promotion, and my dad was

wrestling in the WWF. He and Tony Atlas were the first black tag team champions

in WWF history, but their championship run came to an abrupt end.

Adrian Adonis pins Rocky Johnson.

One, two, three.

I can't believe it. Assault Patrol has lost the tag team championship.

Losing the belt after he went to Saudi Arabia would have concerned most people,

especially after Vince's joke.

Can you do me a favor real quick? Yeah. Can you get that knife out of my back?

But not my dad.

His weekly paycheck reassured him that things were just fine.

Surprise, surprise, you bought a stowaway.

Mama say, mama say.

Just picked up these bad boys.

Is Givenchy a baby?

Now those are some resplendent spectacallies, my brother. Ooh, yeah.

Hey, hey, let this chick try them on.

Come on, share the sugar.

And let your big melon head stress the hinges. Not a chance.

Now, why didn't you get me a pair, Rock? What, we lose our belts and we don't

take care of each other anymore?

When do we ever buy each other things?

Probably never.

But I do feel like you owe me something after you cost us our belts by pissing

off Vince.

Come on, Tom. Vince isn't pissed.

Everything's good.

We weren't going to keep the belts forever.

And now, this just looks up for an epic comeback.

Come on, Rock.

Sheik.

coaster. Come on, man.

She's the queen of the jungle. Show a little respect.

Why is it always staring at me?

I block you.

Oh, cool glasses, dad.

You like them? You look like a richer black Elvis.

That's exactly what I was going for.

Meanwhile, my mom had her hands full with Polynesian pro wrestling.

WrestleMania was a huge hit and it made wrestling even more popular in Hawaii.

The only downside was Leah's new hire, Lars Anderson.

And then the bag rips at the bottom, right? And all the barbecue pig feet

come tumbling all out over the lobby of the Hotel Bel -Air.

But Aretha, she just calmly walks home to the elevator and leaves like nothing

ever happened. She didn't say anything?

Not a word.

First time anyone's ever said that about Aretha.

Hi, Lars.

Ellen was just telling a story about working for the Queen of Soul.

Little Richard?

Aretha Franklin.

Oh.

Hey, there's a cup of dip spit on the fax machine.

Thanks, Ata.

He needs to lay off the baby oil.

But hey, how's it been working with Lars the last couple weeks?

But it wasn't good. As a wrestler, that also meant for Booker, Lars immediately

crowned himself PPPW champion.

Behold, number one, Lars the champion!

His abrasive personality alienated a lot of wrestlers.

Too fat.

Nick, too.

And like I said earlier, my mom was not a fan.

We're going to bring out Andre's childhood nanny.

And his influence over my grandmother was only growing.

I was thinking of using this for part of my entrance music.

Oh, now you make me laugh.

Wait, who made her laugh?

The Lord?

No, La.

That's how she pronounced Lars.

And for my mom, La was a problem.

Don't answer that.

Why not?

It's Ava. He's still mad at me for bailing on his match in Saudi Arabia.

So you're just going to avoid him forever?

Until one of us passes away, yeah.

Great.

Oh, Rocky, today's rent day. Can you put the check in the box?

No problem. It's payday, so when the mail comes, I cut the old bastard a

Hey, and don't say bastard in front of Dewey, please?

Okay.

My dad checked the mail for a week.

Nothing.

And what were you up to during that time? I wanted a Nintendo.

Oh, yeah?

Mario Brothers? I was more of a Metroid guy. Loved Metroid.

Yeah. What about how you got to the end and you realized you were a girl?

That was shocking.

She takes off her space helmet for the big reveal.

Yes, amazing storytelling.

You know, getting a Nintendo back then was a real pivotal time in my life. I

trying to navigate my way through the ups and downs of middle school

And it fits in your hands really nice and smooth.

You guys talking eggs?

No, we're talking Nintendo.

What's Nintendo?

Only the coolest video game system ever made.

Guess I haven't had time to hear about it since I was at Cyndi Lauper's party

New York City with my dad, wrestler Rocky Johnson.

You mean the guy that just lost the championship belt?

Well, um, this is Cyndi Lauper's bangle.

Sure, Dewey. And this is Bette Midler's Casio.

Anyways, as I was saying.

So like my mom, I have my own problems to deal with.

Hello? Bad.

Rocky Johnson here. Rocky!

I got Louie's niece's birthday, and my hands are full here. Just a minute,

Louie. Will I make it quick? I'm missing my paycheck this week.

Wanted to see if you knew how I could track that down.

Oh. Yeah, that last check I got had that bonus. Which, by the way, thank you.

But it's been.

Someone should have called you.

That wasn't a bonus in your last check.

That was severance.

Severance? The WWF's not renewing your contract.

Vince has decided to move on.

We'll, uh, talk to you soon, huh?

Who was that?

Uh, bad news, Alan.

What a character. I know, right? So amazing.

Okay, I don't have any time to explain, but I needed Nintendo and I needed it

yesterday.

Dad, did you hear me?

What? A Nintendo. It's a video game system.

You already have Atari.

Atari. Mom, and nobody plays that anymore. Come on, please.

Hey, you're not getting another video game. Those things are expensive.

Mm -hmm. It's not like we made the money. But I thought we were rich.

Of course we are, but that's not the point.

You know what? It's about time you learned it. Hey, you want a Nintendo so

go buy it yourself.

With what money? All I have are foreign coins you bring back from trip.

So get a job.

Mom, please.

Nintendo. I agree with your father.

Jobs build character, and I saw the Golden Walk is hiring.

Great. I still don't have a Nintendo, and now I'm learning a lesson. This went

terribly. All right, I'm off to work.

Oh, the landlord left a message about the rent being late. You put the check

the box, right?

Yeah, I did do that, yeah.

Hey, don't worry. I'll connect with him.

Those babies are 12 karat gold with over 250 rhinestones.

Man, these are fine shades, no question.

I'll give you 80 bucks.

Come on, man, look at the hinges.

They were made in Milan, Italy.

Oh, these are Milanese hinges. So you've heard.

I'll give you 80 bucks.

Fine. Weasel.

This ain't gonna be enough.

It's not gonna be near enough. Hey, we buy a lot of things, man.

What else you got?

Hi. I'd like to apply for a job. Yeah? Grab a seat. Look at the manager.

Okay.

Grandma?

Why didn't you tell me you needed a job?

You need work? Come to me. How did you even know I was coming here?

I have birds all over the city singing in my ear.

Wait, does it mean I can come work for PPPW?

I insist on it.

I don't want my grandson working in this palace of filth.

Disgusting. Grab this to go.

And some of those little mustards.

So as I got a surprise at work, my mom was about to have one at home.

Rocky?

Now before you asked, I paid the rent.

You like it? You look like Grace Jones.

Oh, is that a yes? No, it's a no.

Why did you do that?

It's my new persona.

I was sensing Rocky Johnson just wasn't popping anymore, so I figured it was

time for a change.

Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Big Papa Daddy.

They're going to send a photo to Vince, see what he thinks.

So where is our coffee table?

Oh, at the furniture store, getting polished.

Rocky, what's going on?

The furniture, your hair?

No spin. Tell me the truth.

But I am... I pawned the furniture

to pay the rent because Pat says I'm done at the WWF. What?

The whole Saudi Arabia thing. Vince isn't letting it go.

So he didn't renew my contract.

I was waiting for the right time to tell you, but I just thought maybe if I

changed things up that Vince would... Take you back?

Mad at you?

Rocky, you and me are a team.

What happens to you happens to me.

And if you're out at the WWF, then that's their lot.

And PPPW's game.

I'm going to set up a meeting with my mom so we can talk about you wrestling

Hawaii full time.

Yeah.

This is why we have a family business.

Take care of family.

And honestly, I wouldn't mind having you by my side as I deal with this whole

Laura situation.

I love you.

Oh, I'm going to need a minute to get used to the hair.

There he is, the working man.

Hi, Tui. How's the job going? Boring.

It sounds like work to me.

Uh, Mom, I thought you said this was a private meeting. It's work -related,

isn't it?

Nah, it's part of the business.

He stays.

Nice boots.

Where's the rodeo? Nice outfit.

If you need some pants, I can loan you some.

Oh, I only buy pants from one man, Calvin Klein.

Now, what did you want to talk to me about?

Uh, the WWF didn't renew my contract.

Saudi Arabia.

So I was thinking we could bring Rocky into PPPW full time.

He's a huge draw in Hawaii, and I think he could generate more ticket sales and

improve our TV rating.

I think that's a great idea.

Amazing. I really appreciate this, Mia.

Yes, ma?

Playing devil's advocate.

It's a bit of a conflict of interest, isn't it? A wife hiring a husband. No

of a conflict than a booker booking himself as the headliner.

Yeah, there's no conflict putting a WWF champ in the ring. Former champ.

There's only one champ in this room.

That's me.

Does that count if you put the belt on yourself?

Who cares?

You still got the belt. What do you got? I got the ability to beat your ass.

Please. You couldn't beat an old lady to the line at a seafood buffet.

Well, I don't eat seafood, so that's irrelevant.

Enough.

Rocky comes back full time, but the three of you need to find a way to get

along.

At Lars, it's something else.

Yeah, he was a lot to deal with.

You know, I learned a little bit from him, too. I hope it wasn't his fashion

sense. No, that only worked for him and Donald Duck.

I learned that there was more to Lars than everybody assumed.

I was hard at work at PPPW.

Damn, Dewey.

You're an envelope -sealing machine.

Every envelope I seal makes me one step closer to getting the Nintendo.

Son, you work by the hour, not by the envelope.

What? Do me a favor. Can you drop these off? They're receipts you've been

looking for.

Thanks, brother.

And we switch from Pepper to Pibb.

Pibb, are you sure we stand to rake in an extra 15 %?

So Lars did have some business, then.

He did. And some common sense, too.

Is it anything else?

It's Rocky.

I still don't think it's a good idea.

Rocky is one of us.

Look, I get why you're bailing him out. His gold is gone.

His jewels are gone. Clearly he has some sort of money trouble, but be careful.

I have a feeling he's selling something people are tired of buying.

Making his triumphant return to Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling.

Great to be working with you again, Rock.

How do you want to take us home?

Dropkick.

Shoot off the ropes.

Here we go.

What's happening? Welcome to wrestling for Lars Anderson.

Boo? No boo.

Oh, shut up. Get out of here.

What the hell are you doing, man? This is my return match.

Change of plans.

My dad was pissed, but he was a pro and he sold for Lars.

20 years in this business.

I ain't never been more disrespected. Now you see what I'm dealing with.

Hey, Swiss Bits.

What the hell was that? Rocky, you sound upset. What's wrong?

Don't mess with me, Lars. This is my return match, and you took all the shine

for yourself.

Disagree. Me crashing your match had the fans popping like crazy.

Tonight wasn't about you, Lars. It was about Rocky. See, that's where I get

confused, because the last time I checked, I was the booker, and I called

shots. No, we're equals.

We're equals, and my back is aching from carrying you night after night. Now, if

you'll excuse me, I'm going to get my post -show bratwurst.

What do we do? We can't go on like this. We need to talk to my mom.

While my parents were dealing with their frustration with Lars, I was wondering

if what I overheard him say about my dad was true.

Does my dad look different to you?

Oh, the hair?

Yeah, it's rough stuff.

Hey, Dad, where's your sunglasses?

Oh, uh, getting them cleaned, son.

Gotta get them rise, don't shine it.

Could you go grab my bag for me, too?

Now I knew what happened to my dad's glasses.

Should we order the calamari for the table?

Maybe two orders.

I only eat the ones with legs.

Tentacles, Mom.

How come Dewey isn't here?

Because we wanted to talk to you about something.

Just us adults.

Divorce. No.

It's about Lars.

Ma.

You saw how he was at Saturday's match.

Going off script.

Stealing the spotlight from Rocky is becoming very difficult to work with.

And it's not just me. The other guy thinks so, too.

I can be a lot.

Exactly.

Which is what we wanted to talk to you about. Look, me and the guys, we all

loved wrestling for PPPW because it felt like a family business.

Lars changed that.

She's not the same.

What we're saying is we can't work with him anymore.

Either Lars goes or we go.

You're right.

PPPW is a family business.

But it's also my business.

And business is good.

And La is part of that. Is he, Thelma?

We were doing fine without him. But we are doing better with him.

Our profits have increased ever since he joined.

He has a good business sense.

We went from pepper to pimp.

And that's money in my pocket.

That's good business. That's La.

And La stays.

Then we're leaving.

Stop being silly. I'm serious, Mom.

We're leaving, and we're starting our own wrestling promotion.

One that resembles what PPPW was before Lars Anderson got his hands on it.

I wish the both of you the best of luck.

And, uh, shall we order some onion rings?

And that's when my mom left the business.

So she didn't swallow her pride at all for the greater good. She quit.

Basically the exact opposite of what I'm telling you to do with Taft. Basically,

yes. I guess I see where you're coming from.

So what happened with you and the Nintendo?

Oh, I got a lot of story to tell there.

Wow, you are really going to town on those things.

Sorry, I think I'm dehydrated.

You want some?

No, man. It's just straight -up lap melon. You've held it in your lap for 30

minutes now. Lap melon? Lap melon. You didn't share. You've only left me the

weird white pieces. No.

It's weird.

And then, once we have a roster, we can start putting the wheels in motion. Make

this dream a reality.

Look at you, sexy boss lady.

Oh, again, the hair.

Oh, hi, honey. Hi, Mom.

Guess who got paid?

My son, the working man.

Did you get that Nintendo?

Nah, I spent the money on something else.

Thought you might be missing these.

How did you... Oh, son, the guy at the pawn shop was a friend of mine. He was

just holding these for me. Yeah, totally.

But I thought they look better on you than they do in a pawn shop.

Wow, son.

Those look better on you than they do on me.

I was going to say it if you weren't going to say it. They're actually kind

heavy. That's because there's 250 rhinestones on those babies.

249, actually. I counted.

There's a gem missing on the right side by the ear.

Hmm. The wear and tear of time.

Buying those glasses for your dad was a big move.

It wasn't what you wanted, but it was for the greater good.

Don't do that, Randall. You can't use my story against me. Hey, I'm just working

with what you're giving me. Look, the current situation is more complicated

that. I've already said no.

I'm not going to go crawling back to Taft. Why would I do that? But you've

always sacrificed to help others and to do the right thing.

Look, what if I buy you a Nintendo?

I'll do it.

But only for the good of the country. Yes.

Get your linen pants out of storage, because we're going to Jeljum. Oh, you

what? I don't like linen on you at bunches. Really?

Yeah. I always thought I looked good in linen, no?

No. Really? No. I could be your stylist if you'd like.

No, I'm good.
