Hey, hey, toss it in there.
And don't believe it

when you read there's
no crime in this town.

I stole that newspaper
from the neighbors this morning.

Ah, newspapers,
for people

who like Tuesday's news
on Wednesday.

Wow, wow.
Hey, hey.

Aren't you afraid
that much noise
is gonna hurt his brain?

You've seen his report card.
Can't get much worse.

Sadly, your grandfather
has seen worse.

My last semester
was my first trimester.

Carter, Carter!
You gotta turn
that down, man.

I want you to take
the garbage out.
Come on, let's go.

Oh, I don't do that anymore.

Have you seen your report card?
This could be your future.

There was an incident.
We don't have to unpack--

A raccoon made him cry.

Really?

I did not cry, first off, okay.
It was a warrior scream.

Okay? It's basically a bear
with knives for fingers.

It's like Nightmare
on Elm Street out here.

You're kidding. Right? Raccoons.

They've been in this
neighborhood since I was a kid.

They were here
in the 1600s?

I don't mind taking out
the trash.

I like seeing the raccoons

since you won't
let us have a dog.

You gotta face
your fears, okay?

I do that every time
I ask you, "How's it going?"

Take the garbage out. Let's go.

Coming!

Hey!
Go on, come on.

Let's go.
Come on.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
Come on, come on.

He's on the move!

Carter, you got to deal
with the raccoon,
all right?

You're 16. You're a man now.

If you were Jewish,
you'd be middle-aged.

He's more afraid of you
than you are of him.

The only thing afraid of Carter
is a sandwich.

Stitch, I could use
a little help over here.

Oh, not right now.

I'm updating my dating profile
on "Big 'N' Smalls."

Is that for people
who like hip-hop?

Don't be racist.

It's for big women
who like small men.

How many dating sites
are you on?

I'm on more apps than
ranch dressing at Applebee's.

I'm glad I'm off the apps now
that I'm onto Amelie.

You know what I mean.

I mean, sexually.

Oh, my God.

I know. You see me
as a spiritual being,

but the body has needs.

No, I opened up
another app. Look.

What the hell?

Someone's catfishing as Riley.

No, a catfisher
would have used

a photo with more cleavage
and fewer kids.

What are you guys up to?

Oh, nothing.

By the way,
how does it feel

to be an affectionate
and loyal mama bear

who's done hibernating
and ready to forage?

-Ugh! Oh, no.
-Oh, yes.

How did you find me?

You hit my very specific
age range, 24 to 68.

Are you sure you're ready
for the dating apps?

The only guys that go on there
are creepers and pervos.

Bro, I just said I was on it.

I know.

Well, I haven't been
on a date in 17 years,

and, let's face it,
I'm not getting any younger.

Well, your profile
says you're 31.

I was very recently 31.

Well, as long as you're lying,

maybe you don't want to say
you're a single mom.

Hey, if a guy doesn't
want to date me
because I'm divorced

or I have kids,
or I live with my dad,

or I'm in debt...

I forgot my point,
but now I need a drink.

So I guess
you're over Gabe now.

Well, my head is over Gabe.

I know it's not logical to be
into a guy who's happy

with his sexy
blonde girlfriend,

but my heart is like,

"Get the precious."

Hey, Carter.
I want to take care
of that raccoon. Okay?

Oh, way ahead of you, Pops.

What, do you just hang out
here in the house

and hope you outlive it?

What...

-Hey.
-Hi. I'm Chris.
I'm looking for Carter.

Well, you're going to need
a bigger cage.

No. Carter hired me
to get rid of a raccoon.

What? You hired an exterminator
to help you face your fears.

The pros of being
a working man.

You can outsource your work.

Well, I'm not just
an exterminator.

I'm a ChoreRabbit.
I also do graphic design.

But, uh, my true passion
is improv comedy.

I can get you on the email list
if you want.

We do four shows a week.
They are very long.

It's just like
the Swiss Army knife
of useless things.

Kind of like the Swiss Army.

That's funny.
That is good.

Have you ever thought
about doing improv?

No.

Actually, the first rule
of improv is that
you never say--

No.

Yeah, I saw the raccoon out back
hanging out by the trash cans.

He looked pretty mean.

In no way did
he ever make me cry.

I'm sorry to send you away,
but my grandson's going to

take care of the raccoon,
so thanks, anyway.

Okay, well, I'm gonna
have to charge you

unless you bring 5 to 30 friends
to my show on Thursday?

What are you doing?
You can't hire people

to do stuff you're scared of.
That's a job for a nanny.

Listen, are you familiar
with Marcus Aurelius?

Oh, you mean hot tub Mark
from
Love Island?

No. Marcus Aurelius,
the Roman emperor,

the stoic philosopher.

He talked about the value

of doing difficult things
to make us stronger men.

Sounds like he needs
a little hot tub time.

All right,
let's forget Marcus Aurelius.

Let's, um, um--

You remember
when we saw
Rocky III?

-Oh, yeah, with Mr. T.
-Yeah.

I pity the fool who
don't like a hot tub!

Yeah. Yeah, that was it.

But it was, remember
Rocky facing off
against Mr. T, right?

And then Rocky,
"Adrian, what do you
want me to say, Adrian?

Adrian! I'm scared.
You know, I'm scared."

Oh, so the raccoon
is my Mr. T.

Yes! Yes, you got it,
you got it.

And you'll face
that fear.

You'll get through it
and you'll learn
how to do it yourself.

And you feel better about it.

It'll be like building
Lego Gandalf

without the instructions.

What?

Wow, we-- we needed nerds

to win the Cold War.
But at what cost?

Guess who matched with a guy
and set a date? That's right.

Turns out someone
does like an honest

30... year old.

Let me get this straight,

in one day,
you found a stranger,

you gave him your number,
and you planned a date?

You're definitely
getting murdered.

Stop.
Maybe he's the one.

Yeah, the one
who will kill you.

Tom's really sweet.

We've been texting quite a bit,
and he seems really cultured.

He sends GIFs
from the British
Office.

You know who else
liked the British
Office?

Jack the Ripper.

-So, where are you guys going?
-Red Brick Tavern.

Maybe we should go
and make sure
you're safe.

-No!
-You can't trust somebody
until you look them in the eye.

I once dated a girl
I was sure I was gonna kill me

but, instead,
she killed the neighbor.

Sex was wild. I dated her
for another six months.

Oh, wow.
You look pretty.

Oh, stop. No, really.
Keep going.

You going to court
for that speeding ticket?

'Cause that deep V
is good for that.

Inappropriate, but right?

I, uh, I have a date.

-Oh. Where'd you meet him?
-Dating app.

-Cancel.
-What? Why?

I'm nervous as it is.
Don't make me feel guilty.

Last time I said that
was also on a date.

Dating apps are like
90% serial killers.

I just listened to
a true crime podcast
called "Swiped to Death."

I really need to put one
of those parental locks
on your phone.

Can you show me
how to do that?

You should leave
some DNA on him.

Hair is fine.
Blood is ideal.

And whatever you do,
do not go to a second location.

Well, now I'm excited
to find love.

If anything happens,
can I have your purses?

Hey, I'm meeting a guy.
He's tall, cute,

would impress all my friends
at my high school reunion.

You've got to be kidding me.

Gabe, what the hell
are you doing here?

Being a good friend

and enjoying this delightful
dragonfruit mojito.

I told you,
you don't need
to do this.

Oh, really?

Because I saw your date
casing the exits
when he walked in.

Very sus.

He's either a murderer,
a robber,

or he has IBS.

You're insane.

And so is that.
I'm getting one.

Hi, I'm Riley.
You must be Tom.

Unless Tom
has an identical twin,

in which case, jackpot!

Uh, did I say I'm Riley?

I am Tom.
It's nice to meet you.

You look great.

Oh. Oh, okay.

And, uh, I just happened to run
into my friend over there.

He's mentally ill.

And, uh, he loves
a spicy marg.

Well, I guess you could say
he's "jalapeno" business.

Oh, God.
I promised my daughter
I wouldn't make a dad joke.

-Oh, you have a daughter?
-I do not.

Okay. Time to focus here.

Carter, put your
phone down.

I'm trying to score
a
KPop Demon Hunter
Funko Pop on eBay.

This is urgent.

Carter. How about
some English?

Time to stay vigilant, kid.
Okay?

I really wish you'd met
your great-grandpa.

He's a great guy.
Good inspiration for me.

I was in the high school
football championships, right?

Oh, as a player
or a cheerleader?

I'm going to pretend
that you didn't just say that.

I was a receiver, right?

Went over the middle
and I got cracked.

I got hurt bad, you know?

And I'm limping off the field,
and I was scared.

I couldn't go back in there,
and my dad was on the sidelines,

and he goes, listen,
"Face your fear.
Face your pain.

Go back in there
and do it for your team."

And you scored
the winning touchdown,
Pops?

No, I did not.

I jumped offsides twice
and then threw up on my shoes.

But I faced my fears,
and I felt like a man that day.

Sounds like that was the day

he forced you to play
with a concussion.

No, no, they hadn't invented
concussions yet, you know,

or peanut allergies
or deep feelings.

You know, early brain trauma
could explain

your sudden
outbursts of anger.

Or your slow,
simmering anger.

It's go time.
Show that raccoon
who is boss.

-Ya boy.
-It's go time!

Ah!

It's just me. Geez.

-What are you doing?
-I'm recycling.

Despite what you say,
it's not a hoax.

You scared away the raccoon
we were waiting for.

Isn't that what
you're trying to do?

Hate when she's right.

Spoken like a true man.

I can't believe
you're actually here.

You only know that
because you're also here.

I'm just protecting Riley
from a crazy stranger.

And I'm protecting her
from a crazy friend.

Yeah, crazy about
these mojitos.

Come on, man.
You can't mess up

her first date
she had in 17 years.

My grandmama hard candy dish
get more action than she does.

She's like a sister to me.

You know,
I just want to make sure
that she's okay.

She's got no idea
what she's doing.

Just look at her.

That was hard to watch.

When your dad
wasn't on tour,

did you guys do any, like,
guy stuff, like, build anything

or go fishing or anything?

Kind of. I mean, one time
he stole a lobster

out of a fish tank
at a Chinese restaurant.

So cool.

Lost the tip of his pinky.

That is a weird story.

Who's, like, the male idol
of your generation?

Uh, Timmy Chalamet,
obvs.

The bird-legged Willy Wonka
who made love to a peach?
Makes sense.

All the girls love him
'cause he's sensitive,

has great style,
and amazing hair.

So your male role model
is a woman?

Yes, but she loves
the Knicks.

We had a lot of
role models as a kid,
you know?

Clint Eastwood, John Wayne,

the Marlboro Man on a horse.

Big manly guy riding a horse,
smoking a cigarette.

He was a man's man

until the last
agonizing days
on a respirator.

Hey, thanks for helping me
get over my fears, Pops.

You'd make a pretty
good cheerleader.

I'm gonna pretend
you didn't just say that.

But I'm proud of you
for doing this.

Really? You're proud of me?

-Yeah.
-Oh, my gosh.

I'm gonna put this in my diary
once I find that tiny key.

I don't...

It's go time. Let's go show
that raccoon who's boss.

Come on, come on.

Get the marshmallows.
Get the marshmallows!

Ooh, about that...

I didn't think
we'd need 'em,
so I ate 'em.

And before you ask,
I didn't save you any.

So, uh, what do you do
for a living?

Oh.

Do you have a problem
with cops?

Only a criminal would have
a problem with cops.

Right. So...

back to my question.
What do you do for a living?

Whoa. A lot of questions.

Heh, heh.
Are you a cop?

Kidding. I'm in... business.

Cool, cool. Love business.

Hey, have you ever heard
or been on the podcast
"Swiped to Death"?

Does Riley
look uncomfortable?

She always look that way.

I think it's resting
wedgie face.

Now, come on, man,
be honest with me.

You only here because you still
have feelings for Riley, right?

Whoa.

I'm with Amelie. Okay?

She's my girlfriend.
Riley is my girlfriend.

Girlfriend. Girlfriend?
You know what I'm sayin'?

I asked you a question.

Do you still have
feelings for Riley?

No. N-O. Nay.

"No" in Spanish.

All right, well,
come on, man, let's go.

Yeah, she's doing fine.
All right.

Is everything okay?

Okay? It's great.

'Cause if you want,
we can go somewhere else.

You mean, like,
a second location?

Heh... Oops.

Move a little closer.
Force him into
the Damone's yard.

Serves them right for getting
a trampoline, right?

Come on.
You gotta make
eye contact.

Show him
who's boss.

Otherwise, he thinks
he'll just stay in the yard.

What happened?

-I don't know. I froze.
-You got scared?

Yeah. Knives for fingers.

We've been talking
about this all day.
Gotta face your fears.

Haven't you been
listening to me at all?

-I tried.
-Tried?

You can't try.
You either do or you don't.

And now,
he's not gonna leave.

Now he owns this property.

I'm fine with that.

Fine with never coming back
in the yard again?

I'm sorry
I'm not man enough for you.

This isn't about me.
I'm here to help you.

Yeah, so you can have a grandson
you're actually proud of.

So, um, what is the second
location you have in mind?

Say it loudly and clearly,

as if you're speaking
to the whole restaurant.

It's this great wine bar
called The Cab Cave.

Ooh, underground.
Love that.

Um, just give me a second.
I have to check on my daughter.

You should.
There's no service there.

Ah, ha, ha!

Perfect.

Did you mean to
send this to me?

"Gabe, Tom is
for sure a murderer.

He's taking me
to a cave. I left DNA."

Oh, my God!

Autocorrect must have changed

"sweet and cute" to
"for sure a murderer!"

Am I really giving off
a serial killer vibe?

I mean, uh, I don't know,

because I've never
met one, right?

-I'm actually a cop.
-You are?

Then why did you act all weird
when those guys came in?

Uh, because they're my friends.

I don't put on the apps
that I'm a cop

because, honestly,
women are way
too into the uniform.

Oh, yeah. Oh, I get it.

That's how I felt
when I worked at
Hot Dog on a Stick.

You did?
Do you still have the hat?

I'm such an idiot.
I'm so sorry for the text

and for everything
I said before that

and for what I'm saying now!

This is not
my shining moment.

-It's okay.
-I'm just trying to get back

into the dating game
after 17 years.

Which, yes, yes,
if you do the math.
I lied about my age.

But I have to lie.
I'm 34, which is like
100 in LA.

There's a raccoon in my house,
which isn't even my house.

It's my dad's house.

And I know I told you
both my kids are smart,

but only one of them is.

And if we're being honest--

I think you're being
too honest.

I'm-- I'm still hung up
on that guy who was
sitting over there.

Your mentally ill friend?

He's not mentally ill.
I just said that
because I'm a liar.

I lied to a cop.

So nice meeting you.
I should go.

Um, you're so nice.

Good luck.

Wow.
Killing some zombies, huh?

Can't kill zombies.
They're already dead.

Duh!

Carter, come on.
Listen, that was rough.

I didn't mean that.
You know, I--

I'm sorry.

Whatevs. NBD.

If we're going to do this,
I need some vowels.

Are you disappointed
in me again?

No, I'm not disappointed
in you.

It's-- This is on me.
This is about me
and my dad to me.

He was such
a hard-ass, you know?

I wanted to be an artist
my whole life.

He just didn't get it.

He wanted me to follow
into the machine shop.

Be a machinist because that,
you know, that's what men do.

I mean, he's not wrong.

I just never had the courage to
tell him what I really wanted.

You know?

He wasn't a raccoon,
but I was scared of him.

And to be honest,
in the right light,

their eyes look
very similar.

What a weird story.

Just-- I don't want to push you
like he pushed me.

Thanks, Pops.

If there was a draft
for grandson,
you'd be first pick.

That's a sports analogy.

I don't expect you
to know a sports analogy.

No, no, no, I get it.
I watch E-sports.

E-sports? That's like
the Tofurky of sports.

That's not pushing.
That's mocking.

She caught the raccoon!

That's the good news.

Bad news is we may have
to talk to her again.

Caught the critter.

A lot of families
like to say goodbye.

Not this one.

Actually, I do.

Careful, Carter.
This is not like
the raccoon

from Guardians
of the Galaxy.

Less sassy, more rabies.

It's okay.
I want to face my fears.

I love this for you, Carter.

What? I'm being nice.

He's actually kind of cute.
Let's set him free.

-Well, you're the boss.
-No, he's not the boss. Don't--

-What are you doing?
-Let him free! Let's see him.

Now we gotta move.
