- I mean, no, I don't.

00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:39,517

you kept saying Monday.

You did.

a few votes for the Hall

didn't suddenly make

But some things have changed.

00:02:21,228 --> 00:02:24,579
Reggie's episode of "SNL"
is finally up on Peacock.

I'm also 50, Sally O'Malley.

Hey, Dinkins.

62
00:02:33,675 --> 00:02:35,807
I'm increasingly ambivalent
about you.

63
00:02:37,244 --> 00:02:39,246
The tricky thing is
capitalizing on all that,

64
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:42,814
but I can't keep up with
what's even a thing anymore.

65
00:02:42,901 --> 00:02:44,860
Yeah, Monica thought
she booked me

66
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:47,123
on Pablo Torre's
sports podcast.

67
00:02:47,254 --> 00:02:50,909
But it turned out to be
Julio Torres's...

68
00:02:51,083 --> 00:02:52,215
something.

69
00:02:52,433 --> 00:02:53,869
What do you think
about the color clear?

70
00:02:53,999 --> 00:02:55,349
A lot.

71
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:57,264
It was fun,
but it didn't get me

72
00:02:57,351 --> 00:02:59,527
any closer to the Hall of Fame.

73
00:02:59,614 --> 00:03:01,485

an assistant anymore.

00:03:04,923 --> 00:03:09,101
Late last night,
Bella went to a farm upstate.

77
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:10,886
Oh, why did I say it like that?

78
00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:12,148
No, she really did.

79
00:03:12,279 --> 00:03:13,715
Her son lives in Bovina.

80
00:03:13,802 --> 00:03:15,499
She wanted to be closer
to her grandkids.

81
00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:17,893
She's fine.

82
00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:19,199
We need help.

83
00:03:19,416 --> 00:03:20,983
I tried googling
"How to get famous

Steve Harvey."

85
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:24,552
No one says google anymore,
Reg.

86
00:03:24,682 --> 00:03:26,684
Now you say "search it up."

87
00:03:26,771 --> 00:03:28,991
- Is that true?
- I don't believe you.

88
00:03:29,121 --> 00:03:31,907
Knock, knock, Mr. Tobin.

89
00:03:32,081 --> 00:03:34,431
I made your favorite--
warm beans,

90
00:03:34,605 --> 00:03:37,086
scalding hot tomatoes,
two hard eggs,

91
00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:40,437
blood meat,
and some wet mushrooms.

92

Yums.

93
00:03:42,526 --> 00:03:46,095
Mm, but I know that you know

94
00:03:46,182 --> 00:03:48,663
that I know about you
and your young lady.

95
00:03:48,793 --> 00:03:50,795
And you should also know
that I cannot be bribed.

96
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:54,930
OK.
Well then, how about blackmail?

97
00:03:57,193 --> 00:04:00,196
I grew up with sisters, and I
never learned the other way.

98
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:02,111
And I was trying to tell you
that I can't be bribed

99
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:03,765
because I'm not
gonna say anything.

100
00:04:03,895 --> 00:04:05,027
Why?

101
00:04:05,157 --> 00:04:06,681
'Cause I don't have to.

102
00:04:06,768 --> 00:04:08,422
It's gonna come out eventually.

103
00:04:08,596 --> 00:04:12,687
I mean, what happens when
you want to take her to prom?

104
00:04:12,774 --> 00:04:15,124
Or graduation?
I know how this ends.

105
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:17,387
I, too, knew forbidden love
when I was your age.

106
00:04:17,518 --> 00:04:18,910
She was the groundskeeper

107
00:04:18,997 --> 00:04:20,651
at the boarding school
that I went to.

108
00:04:20,782 --> 00:04:22,392
And when the headmaster
found our letters--

109
00:04:22,523 --> 00:04:24,786
Physical letters?
Like, with stickers on them?

110
00:04:24,873 --> 00:04:26,570
Stamps, yeah.

111
00:04:26,657 --> 00:04:29,181
I'm just saying, your families
will find out sooner or later.

112
00:04:29,356 --> 00:04:30,835
And you and Delilah
have to be prepared

113
00:04:31,009 --> 00:04:34,011
for the kind of intense,
emotional scenes

114
00:04:34,012 --> 00:04:37,973
that would be very compelling
in a trailer.

117
00:04:43,935 --> 00:04:45,981

a whole marketing department,

123
00:04:57,862 --> 00:05:00,604
maybe a with-it
young assistant--nope.

124
00:05:00,735 --> 00:05:02,954
Can't legally say "young."

125
00:05:03,085 --> 00:05:06,741
An assistant that's only
ever started a car like this.

Does that read better?

129
00:05:13,574 --> 00:05:16,707
Maybe one of them can help me
take this agency

130
00:05:16,881 --> 00:05:19,275

Is this right?

133
00:05:22,670 --> 00:05:24,411
You have a master's
in marketing?

134
00:05:24,541 --> 00:05:27,065
Yeah, I wrote my thesis on
those Capital One commercials

135
00:05:27,239 --> 00:05:29,024
where Jennifer Garner is
friends with Spike Lee

136
00:05:29,111 --> 00:05:30,112
and Charles Barkley.

137
00:05:30,286 --> 00:05:31,287
I read they live together.

138
00:05:31,418 --> 00:05:32,506
It's a polycule.

139
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,421
Look, I know I'm overqualified,

140
00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:37,249
but I am literally just
looking for any opportunity

141
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:38,207

142
00:05:38,425 --> 00:05:40,122
OK.

143
00:05:40,296 --> 00:05:42,167
Then tell me what I'm doing
wrong with Reggie Dinkins.

144
00:05:42,254 --> 00:05:44,692
I have cold-called
every sports show,

145
00:05:44,866 --> 00:05:46,737
podcast, and celebrity cruise.

146
00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:48,348
I've even reached out
to the Ad Council.

147
00:05:48,522 --> 00:05:49,871
Back in the '90s,
Reggie's first

148
00:05:50,001 --> 00:05:52,047
national TV spots were PSAs.

149
00:05:52,134 --> 00:05:54,441
Y2K is coming!
Bury your money in the woods!

150
00:05:57,922 --> 00:06:01,404
First of all, you need
to stop trying to engage

151
00:06:01,535 --> 00:06:03,014
with the gatekeepers.

152
00:06:03,145 --> 00:06:05,321
They don't matter anymore.
DM talent directly.

153
00:06:05,495 --> 00:06:06,975
They are on their phones

154
00:06:07,062 --> 00:06:08,672
way more
than they're on their email.

155
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:10,195
That's how I got Doechii
to yarf

156
00:06:10,282 --> 00:06:11,936
into a Tux Clutch Mini
on "Hot Ones."

157
00:06:12,110 --> 00:06:13,547
You're hired.

158
00:06:15,679 --> 00:06:18,203
Ugh, hang up your stuff,
Carmelo.

159
00:06:18,290 --> 00:06:19,944
Ooh.

160
00:06:20,118 --> 00:06:22,077
I don't recognize
this curl pattern.

161
00:06:22,294 --> 00:06:24,384
I'm 2C,

162
00:06:24,514 --> 00:06:28,343
Monica has braids,
and Rusty is 3B.

163
00:06:28,344 --> 00:06:31,521
Oh.

164
00:06:31,695 --> 00:06:33,393
Come here, Carmelo.

165
00:06:33,523 --> 00:06:35,743
Hang on, hang on.

166
00:06:38,528 --> 00:06:40,095
Quick talking head?

167
00:06:40,182 --> 00:06:42,532
I think Carmelo may have
hisself a little yeah, yeah.

168
00:06:42,663 --> 00:06:44,186
A secret girlfriend.

169
00:06:44,316 --> 00:06:46,014
Oh, wow, right.

170
00:06:46,144 --> 00:06:49,409
The family's Spotify is,
like, all Kehlani now.

171
00:06:49,583 --> 00:06:50,888
Air Supply.
- Oh, thank you.

172
00:06:51,062 --> 00:06:52,586
And based on the laundry,

173
00:06:52,716 --> 00:06:54,675
Carmelo started
washing his ass.

174
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:57,112
And so nobody in the family
knows who this girl is?

175
00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,375
If I don't know,
you know they don't.

176
00:06:59,549 --> 00:07:03,510
But I'm not gonna pry
because I'm a cool stepmom,

177
00:07:03,597 --> 00:07:06,904
like Sheryl Lee Ralph
in "Moesha."

178
00:07:06,991 --> 00:07:08,515
Allison Janney in "Juno."
- Mm.

179
00:07:08,645 --> 00:07:10,125
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, of course.

180
00:07:10,299 --> 00:07:11,561
And, I mean,
what would be the point?

181
00:07:11,735 --> 00:07:13,998
You probably wouldn't be able
to figure it out anyway.

182
00:07:14,216 --> 00:07:16,784
Please, I could find
a high school girl.

183
00:07:18,525 --> 00:07:20,875
Let's take a look
at Carmelo's Venmo.

184
00:07:21,005 --> 00:07:23,747
OK, who you paying back
for pizza with a heart?

185
00:07:23,878 --> 00:07:26,010
Click on her profile.

186
00:07:26,184 --> 00:07:27,882
Aww, she's cute.

187
00:07:27,969 --> 00:07:30,014
3C, just like I said.

188
00:07:30,145 --> 00:07:33,453
Reverse image search
to find her Insta.

189
00:07:35,193 --> 00:07:36,368
Hold on.

190
00:07:36,499 --> 00:07:37,674
Why is she
in so many pictures with--

191
00:07:37,761 --> 00:07:39,197
Oh, no.
What do you see?

192
00:07:39,371 --> 00:07:40,677
Is that--

193
00:07:40,808 --> 00:07:42,810
Jesus, Joseph,
and the goddamn donkey.

194
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:44,812
She's a Basmati?

195
00:07:44,899 --> 00:07:46,727
Ooh, I hope that boy
get home safe from school

196
00:07:46,901 --> 00:07:48,423
so I can kill him!

197
00:07:48,424 --> 00:07:49,947
Ugh.
- Drama.

198
00:07:52,167 --> 00:07:54,343
It's been a week since
the Hall of Fame vote.

199
00:07:54,430 --> 00:07:56,998
And according to our new
head of publicity,

200
00:07:57,128 --> 00:07:58,695
that's like
a lifetime these days.

201
00:07:58,869 --> 00:08:01,132
It always has been
for a lunar moth.

202
00:08:01,306 --> 00:08:03,918
But we haven't done anything
to capitalize on this momentum.

203
00:08:04,005 --> 00:08:06,181
Um, exsqueeze you.

204
00:08:06,311 --> 00:08:07,835
I mean, I handle
Reggie's socials,

205
00:08:07,965 --> 00:08:10,707
and four days ago,
we posted this.

206
00:08:10,794 --> 00:08:12,796
We outside.

207
00:08:12,927 --> 00:08:14,972
That's a thing from COVID,
and you're clearly inside.

208
00:08:15,059 --> 00:08:16,408
But what about
the documentary?

209
00:08:16,539 --> 00:08:17,714
And when are people
gonna see that?

210
00:08:17,845 --> 00:08:19,586
Like, a year from now?

211
00:08:19,716 --> 00:08:22,066
Yeah, if you want to rush it
and end up with

212
00:08:22,153 --> 00:08:24,025
a "Jumbo the Elephant Dreams
of Trees" on your hands.

213
00:08:24,155 --> 00:08:25,896
- A what?
- Yeah, exactly.

214
00:08:25,983 --> 00:08:28,420
Reggie, we've got to get
your face out there now.

215
00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:30,466
Like, today.
High-key.

216
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,337
I mean,
people do like my face

217
00:08:32,424 --> 00:08:33,991
because I have
a extra layer of skin.

218
00:08:34,078 --> 00:08:35,993
Ooh.

219
00:08:38,474 --> 00:08:39,606
Are you OK?

220
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:41,433
I talked to Mr. Tobin--

221
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:42,913
Oh, did you show him
that video you took of him

222
00:08:43,044 --> 00:08:44,262
trying to get a key
onto a key ring?

223
00:08:44,349 --> 00:08:47,178
Oh, come on.
Please.

224
00:08:47,265 --> 00:08:48,876
Please.

225
00:08:48,963 --> 00:08:52,096
No, I didn't even
have to get that far.

226
00:08:52,227 --> 00:08:54,229
He said he won't tell anyone.

227
00:08:54,359 --> 00:08:57,406
So what's the problem,
Carmy Bear?

228
00:08:57,537 --> 00:09:00,888
I told you,
he films everything.

229
00:09:01,018 --> 00:09:03,238
You ever watch that movie
"Eagle Eye" with Shia Labeouf?

230
00:09:03,368 --> 00:09:04,935
I'm a teenage girl in 2026.

231
00:09:05,066 --> 00:09:06,981
I've seen the action thriller
"Eagle Eye"

232
00:09:07,155 --> 00:09:08,896
starring Michelle Monaghan
and Billy Bob Thornton.

233
00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:13,117
Well, he is Eagle Eye.

234
00:09:13,248 --> 00:09:16,468
That's just--
what is our plan here?

235
00:09:16,643 --> 00:09:18,906
I mean, our parents are gonna
find out at some point.

236
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,299
We'll be more careful
from now on.

237
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:23,650
I was thinking for prom,
I'll take my friend Brandon,

238
00:09:23,737 --> 00:09:25,042
and you take your friend Alice.

239
00:09:25,129 --> 00:09:26,827
And then at the dance,
we switch.

240
00:09:26,957 --> 00:09:29,525
Because they both have
face blindness.

241
00:09:29,699 --> 00:09:31,092
Oh, my God, you're like a--

242
00:09:31,179 --> 00:09:33,094
like a genius.

243
00:09:36,314 --> 00:09:37,577
Hey.

244
00:09:37,707 --> 00:09:39,622
Why aren't you two
answering your phones?

245
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:41,405
'Cause we're doing
what you asked, Monica.

246
00:09:41,406 --> 00:09:42,930
We're making content.

247
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:44,975
I'm doing an unboxing video.

248
00:09:45,106 --> 00:09:47,543
It's air conditioning
filters, fam.

249
00:09:47,717 --> 00:09:49,893
Max, tell Reggie
the good news.

250
00:09:50,024 --> 00:09:52,026
Christ has risen?
Girl, he been back.

251
00:09:52,156 --> 00:09:53,114
No.

252
00:09:53,244 --> 00:09:54,550
Mike Tirico agreed
to interview you

253
00:09:54,724 --> 00:09:56,857
for his "Sunday Night Football"
pre-pregame show.

254
00:09:56,987 --> 00:09:58,075
It tapes tomorrow.

255
00:09:58,162 --> 00:10:00,121
That's amazing.

256
00:10:00,295 --> 00:10:01,731
Who needs gatekeepers,
am I right?

257
00:10:01,862 --> 00:10:04,560
I can't celebrate
by doing the worm anymore,

258
00:10:04,691 --> 00:10:06,736
so vertical worm!

259
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:08,520
- Go, Rusty! Go, Rusty!
- If I could turn my head,

260
00:10:08,651 --> 00:10:10,174
it would be like
you are on the ground.

261
00:10:10,348 --> 00:10:11,523
I'm sorry.

262
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:13,438
DM'ing Mike Tirico
was the easy part.

263
00:10:13,525 --> 00:10:14,962
Now we have
to make this a thing

264
00:10:15,092 --> 00:10:16,354
that anybody would care about.

265
00:10:16,528 --> 00:10:19,140
Celebrity interviews,
they're boring.

266
00:10:19,270 --> 00:10:22,665
Unless they're controversial.

267
00:10:22,796 --> 00:10:25,102
- Kanye. Got it.
- Or have an animal.

268
00:10:25,276 --> 00:10:27,191
Moo Deng.
Icon.

269
00:10:27,322 --> 00:10:28,671
Or sex.

270
00:10:28,802 --> 00:10:30,368
So any interview
Seth Meyers does.

271
00:10:30,542 --> 00:10:32,153
Or heartwarming.

272
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,895
Controversial, animal,
sex, heartwarming.

273
00:10:35,025 --> 00:10:37,071
C-A-S-H.
- Cash.

274
00:10:37,201 --> 00:10:39,116
And if we hit
more than one of those things--

275
00:10:39,203 --> 00:10:41,031
Ooh, like Moo Deng
in a bikini?

276
00:10:41,162 --> 00:10:43,555
You're not just doing
an interview.

277
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,557
You're trending.
- OK.

278
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:47,385
I could do controversial.

279
00:10:47,472 --> 00:10:49,997
They had to edit me
out of Hugh Hefner's roast.

280
00:10:50,171 --> 00:10:51,520
And we have an animal
we can use,

281
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:53,435
Rusty's ferret, Slinky.

282
00:10:53,565 --> 00:10:55,829
I think the people know
about Slinky by now, Monica.

283
00:10:56,003 --> 00:10:57,961
I talk about her all the time.

284
00:10:58,048 --> 00:11:00,616
Ferrets love to play
and explore.

285
00:11:00,703 --> 00:11:03,314
How much do you think Slinky is
gonna be in the documentary?

286
00:11:03,445 --> 00:11:04,838
A lot, probably?

287
00:11:07,188 --> 00:11:09,669
OK, what's her name?

288
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:11,192
I know you're seeing someone.

289
00:11:11,366 --> 00:11:14,412
Carmelo, you little Lil' Romeo.

290
00:11:14,586 --> 00:11:16,980
I want to meet this girl.
What's her Insta?

291
00:11:17,154 --> 00:11:18,765
She doesn't have one.

292
00:11:18,939 --> 00:11:21,202
No... hands.

293
00:11:21,332 --> 00:11:23,770
Liar!
Do you have a death wish?

294
00:11:23,857 --> 00:11:26,337
No, I--I didn't even know
who she was when we met.

295
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:31,516
I guess we both got cones, huh?

296
00:11:31,647 --> 00:11:35,433
I guess you do too.

297
00:11:35,607 --> 00:11:36,739
<i>Whatever.</i>

298
00:11:36,913 --> 00:11:39,394
I forbid you from dating
Delilah Basmati.

299
00:11:39,481 --> 00:11:41,526
No, I mean,
it's not even that serious.

300
00:11:41,657 --> 00:11:43,441
We only hung out,
like, a couple of times.

301
00:11:43,615 --> 00:11:45,443
A couple of times
this week, maybe.

302
00:11:45,574 --> 00:11:48,098
They see each other
every day after school.

303
00:11:48,272 --> 00:11:50,710
- You've been filming us?
- You knew?

304
00:11:50,797 --> 00:11:52,015
Jail!

305
00:11:52,102 --> 00:11:54,061
No, space jail.
- What's the difference?

306
00:11:54,191 --> 00:11:56,019
Space jail moves
at the speed of light,

307
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:57,717
so time goes slower.

308
00:11:57,891 --> 00:12:00,632
When your sentence is done,
centuries have passed on Earth.

309
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,418
Everything you knew
and everyone you loved is gone.

310
00:12:03,548 --> 00:12:04,636
No.

311
00:12:04,811 --> 00:12:06,551
Oh, and I have not
forgot about you.

312
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:08,031
Brina!

313
00:12:08,162 --> 00:12:10,251
Don't "Brina" me.

314
00:12:10,381 --> 00:12:12,470
I'm eight years older than you.

315
00:12:12,601 --> 00:12:15,212
I was reading chapter books
when you were still in diapers.

316
00:12:15,386 --> 00:12:16,692
What were you thinking?

317
00:12:16,866 --> 00:12:18,825
Things are finally going good
for this family.

318
00:12:18,955 --> 00:12:20,870
I know.

319
00:12:21,001 --> 00:12:22,698
I just really like Delilah.

320
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:24,613
Then end it, for her sake.

321
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:26,963
If your parents find out,
they will kill you.

322
00:12:27,094 --> 00:12:29,400
And they are the nice ones.
- Wait.

323
00:12:29,531 --> 00:12:32,316
You can't date a Basmati.
They're evil.

324
00:12:32,447 --> 00:12:34,884
Jerry and Tisha Basmati
catfished me.

325
00:12:35,015 --> 00:12:37,757
And then I ran into Salma Hayek
for real and kissed her,

326
00:12:37,887 --> 00:12:39,933
and there was zero chemistry.

327
00:12:40,107 --> 00:12:42,109
- Wait, how do you know about--
- AC vent above the laundry

328
00:12:42,196 --> 00:12:43,719
<i>connects to the one
in your room.</i>

329
00:12:43,806 --> 00:12:45,808
Wait, is that why sometimes
you're crying late at night?

330
00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:48,115
No.
No, it's not.

331
00:12:48,202 --> 00:12:49,725
No, but now
all three of you are keeping

332
00:12:49,899 --> 00:12:50,987
a secret from Reggie.

333
00:12:51,074 --> 00:12:52,336
As am I.

334
00:12:52,510 --> 00:12:54,077
Perhaps we should
rip the Band-Aid off

335
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:55,557
and tell Reggie right now.

336
00:12:55,687 --> 00:12:56,863
- I will kick you so hard--
- Guantanamo space jail!

337
00:12:57,037 --> 00:12:59,300
No, no, no, I'll do it.

338
00:12:59,387 --> 00:13:00,867
I'll end it.

339
00:13:00,997 --> 00:13:05,001
Just promise me you guys
won't tell my mom or my dad.

340
00:13:05,088 --> 00:13:06,916
OK, I won't.

341
00:13:07,090 --> 00:13:08,135
And if you do hear crying,

342
00:13:08,265 --> 00:13:10,398
it's probably just the wind

343
00:13:10,572 --> 00:13:13,531
watching videos of old dogs
eating birthday cakes.

344
00:13:13,662 --> 00:13:15,795
Reggie Dinkins,

345
00:13:15,925 --> 00:13:17,753
welcome back
to "Sunday Night Football."

346
00:13:17,884 --> 00:13:19,102
It's been a minute.

347
00:13:19,276 --> 00:13:20,843
Yes.

348
00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:24,368
Thank you, football.

349
00:13:24,455 --> 00:13:27,371
Right before he went on,
I handed Slinky to Reggie.

350
00:13:27,502 --> 00:13:29,939
But then I'm watching backstage
and I'm like,

351
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:31,506
where the hell is Slinky?

352
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,683
Ferrets love to play
and explore, Monica.

353
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:38,078
So she went in my shirt
and she explored everywhere.

354
00:13:38,208 --> 00:13:39,427
You're finally
in the conversation

355
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:40,776
for the Hall of Fame.

356
00:13:40,950 --> 00:13:43,518
How does that feel?

357
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:44,432
Slinky, stop.

358
00:13:44,606 --> 00:13:46,956
Ah! Ah!

359
00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:49,959
- Are you OK?
- No! No!

360
00:13:50,046 --> 00:13:52,353
No, Slinky, stop!
Bad Slinky!

361
00:13:52,483 --> 00:13:54,659
Oh, don't go in there, Slinky.

362
00:13:54,746 --> 00:13:56,313
Oh!

363
00:13:56,444 --> 00:13:58,620
I have to go now.
Oh, oh.

364
00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:00,404
Oh!

365
00:14:00,535 --> 00:14:03,190
Well, that was unusable.

366
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,193
Now, we have
five minutes to fill,

367
00:14:06,323 --> 00:14:09,979
but I promise it will be magic.

368
00:14:12,764 --> 00:14:14,027
Ooh.

369
00:14:20,207 --> 00:14:22,035
Do you really think
they'd tell?

370
00:14:22,209 --> 00:14:24,080
The last time
I saw Brina this mad

371
00:14:24,254 --> 00:14:26,778
was when Rihanna said
she had news to drop,

372
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:29,042
and it ended up being
another stupid pregnancy.

373
00:14:29,172 --> 00:14:31,044
I thought we had more time.

374
00:14:31,218 --> 00:14:33,350
But I think Gator overheard us
on the phone the other day.

375
00:14:33,524 --> 00:14:35,178
Who?

376
00:14:35,309 --> 00:14:37,354
Gator is my dad's friend
who lives in our pool house.

377
00:14:37,528 --> 00:14:38,921
He's like your Rusty,

378
00:14:39,008 --> 00:14:41,837
except his RealDoll
eats dinner with us.

379
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:45,188
I wrote a goodbye song
for you.

380
00:14:45,362 --> 00:14:46,711
Can you give me a beat?

381
00:14:46,842 --> 00:14:48,583
Of course I can, Carmy Bear.

382
00:14:55,807 --> 00:14:58,071
♪ On the edge of life ♪

383
00:14:58,158 --> 00:15:01,639
♪ Only you and me
know what love is ♪

384
00:15:01,726 --> 00:15:02,902
You're so dang talented.

385
00:15:03,076 --> 00:15:07,123
♪ I'm gonna miss you,
baby girl ♪

386
00:15:07,297 --> 00:15:09,256
Boy, I wish I had
a stepmom like you

387
00:15:09,386 --> 00:15:11,301
growing up instead of Shawna.

388
00:15:11,475 --> 00:15:14,304
All she cared about
was my dad's body.

389
00:15:14,435 --> 00:15:17,307
Sometimes you gotta be
a Maleficent.

390
00:15:17,481 --> 00:15:21,224
I love love,
but I also love peace, OK?

391
00:15:23,705 --> 00:15:26,621
And you, acting all,

392
00:15:26,751 --> 00:15:28,188
"One doesn't know
who the girl is.

393
00:15:28,362 --> 00:15:29,885
You simply must find out."

394
00:15:30,059 --> 00:15:32,192
"Who's your girl?
What's her bloody identity?"

395
00:15:32,366 --> 00:15:33,454
All right, mate.

396
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:35,673
I might have stirred
the pot a little bit,

397
00:15:35,804 --> 00:15:38,198
but Carmelo and Delilah
put the beans

398
00:15:38,285 --> 00:15:39,112
into that pot, all right?

399
00:15:39,242 --> 00:15:41,418
This is their chili.
- Yeah.

400
00:15:41,592 --> 00:15:43,377
We should make chili.

401
00:15:43,551 --> 00:15:45,379
And I could have told
Monica and Reggie, right,

402
00:15:45,553 --> 00:15:47,250
and made a big dramatic scene
out of it, but I didn't.

403
00:15:47,337 --> 00:15:49,209
True.

404
00:15:49,339 --> 00:15:51,298
Good looking out.

405
00:15:51,472 --> 00:15:53,082
So do we want
three bowls of chili

406
00:15:53,169 --> 00:15:56,694
or just one big bowl,
three spoons?

407
00:15:56,825 --> 00:15:59,697
- Damn ferret.
- I'm not mad at Slinky.

408
00:15:59,784 --> 00:16:01,743
I'm just disappointed.

409
00:16:01,830 --> 00:16:05,138
Ooh, I almost
sat on the cake.

410
00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:08,489
Debra's party could have
been ruined.

411
00:16:08,576 --> 00:16:11,883
God in heaven!

412
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,581
What are you guys doing here?

413
00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:15,975
I was on my way home when
I realized I left my charger,

414
00:16:16,105 --> 00:16:18,803
and I only used the old kind--
no.

415
00:16:18,934 --> 00:16:21,632
What in the hell
are <i>you</i> doing here?

416
00:16:21,763 --> 00:16:23,199
I'm trying to pay my rent.

417
00:16:23,373 --> 00:16:26,898
I only took this bum-ass
minimum wage job

418
00:16:27,029 --> 00:16:28,988
so I'd have someplace
to shoot my office party

419
00:16:29,118 --> 00:16:31,294
cake sitting vids for OnlyFans.

420
00:16:31,381 --> 00:16:33,470
It's called sploshing,
young man.

421
00:16:33,644 --> 00:16:35,081
Wow.

422
00:16:35,255 --> 00:16:37,300
You are so fired.

423
00:16:37,431 --> 00:16:38,519
No, you know what?

424
00:16:38,649 --> 00:16:40,303
You don't get to judge me, OK?

425
00:16:40,434 --> 00:16:44,177
I live with eight roommates
in Bushwick,

426
00:16:44,307 --> 00:16:46,048
'cause that's all I can afford.

427
00:16:46,222 --> 00:16:48,355
And now you're ruining
my side hustle.

428
00:16:48,485 --> 00:16:50,270
<i>Maybe if you all
sit on the cake?</i>

429
00:16:50,357 --> 00:16:54,056
Look, man, I don't care
what you do to Monica's office,

430
00:16:54,143 --> 00:16:56,798
but the whole CASH thing
blew up in my face,

431
00:16:56,928 --> 00:16:58,626
among other places.

432
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,585
Oh, you mean I don't have
a secret cheat code

433
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:02,934
for internet fame?

434
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:05,328
Uh, doy!
Nobody does.

435
00:17:05,415 --> 00:17:07,200
Did you also lie
about your résumé?

436
00:17:07,374 --> 00:17:10,333
No.
And that's the problem.

437
00:17:10,464 --> 00:17:12,901
I am in so much debt

438
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:15,251
for an education
that is useless now.

439
00:17:15,382 --> 00:17:17,949
I was the one
who was lied to, Monica.

440
00:17:18,124 --> 00:17:21,214
My whole generation was,
thanks to you boomers.

441
00:17:21,388 --> 00:17:23,216
- Hey, not cool.
- We are Gen X.

442
00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:25,566
At least you guys knew maybe
one day you could buy a home

443
00:17:25,696 --> 00:17:26,958
or, I don't know, afford kids

444
00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,787
or maybe even stop buying
coffee on Klarna.

445
00:17:29,874 --> 00:17:31,702
The world is on fire!

446
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:33,617
The ticks, they're winning!

447
00:17:33,748 --> 00:17:36,620
And my sister's school just
shut down because of measles.

448
00:17:36,707 --> 00:17:39,188
Yeah, measles are back!

449
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:40,363
Thank you for that!

450
00:17:47,588 --> 00:17:50,591
Hey, Reggie.
Bad day?

451
00:17:50,678 --> 00:17:54,377
You know, I used to think
that Sisyphus guy

452
00:17:54,508 --> 00:17:56,901
in Latin class had it
all figured out.

453
00:17:56,988 --> 00:18:00,427
He's got a job,
getting his steps in.

454
00:18:00,644 --> 00:18:02,559
But getting really close
to your goals

455
00:18:02,646 --> 00:18:06,215
and then having to start over
is actually really frustrating.

456
00:18:06,389 --> 00:18:07,782
I know how that feels.

457
00:18:07,869 --> 00:18:09,392
Yeah, you do.

458
00:18:09,523 --> 00:18:10,567
I mean, talk about
having to start over.

459
00:18:10,785 --> 00:18:12,613
You blew up your career so bad,

460
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:14,789
my movie was the only job
you could get.

461
00:18:14,919 --> 00:18:16,007
Hey, not the only job.

462
00:18:16,225 --> 00:18:18,053
I also directed some

463
00:18:18,184 --> 00:18:20,490
sexual harassment
training videos before this.

464
00:18:20,621 --> 00:18:22,753
Hey, Karen, I want you
to come to my office

465
00:18:22,884 --> 00:18:25,756
and sit on a cake I bought.

466
00:18:25,843 --> 00:18:27,149
Sad.

467
00:18:27,323 --> 00:18:30,848
And you don't even have
a family that loves you.

468
00:18:30,979 --> 00:18:33,634
But, you know, Reggie,
that is why,

469
00:18:33,764 --> 00:18:35,592
no matter what happened today,
I know for a fact

470
00:18:35,723 --> 00:18:38,378
you've been through worse.

471
00:18:38,508 --> 00:18:41,032
You know, if the Sisyphus guy
had a dude he could talk to,

472
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,514
maybe the rock thing
wouldn't have been so hard.

473
00:18:44,645 --> 00:18:47,691
I'm glad I have you,
Arthur Tobin.

474
00:18:47,865 --> 00:18:51,347
We get each other,
despite, you know,

475
00:18:51,478 --> 00:18:54,263
what your people did.

476
00:18:54,394 --> 00:18:57,136
<i>What if Delilah was
Carmelo's Sisyphus buddy?</i>

477
00:18:57,310 --> 00:18:58,659
I mean, who else
could understand

478
00:18:58,789 --> 00:19:00,400
what it was like to grow up
the way they both did?

479
00:19:00,617 --> 00:19:02,271
With those fathers.

480
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:04,491
Taught to hate another family
for things that happened

481
00:19:04,621 --> 00:19:06,362
before they were even born.

482
00:19:06,493 --> 00:19:09,539
And they have a Rusty.

483
00:19:09,757 --> 00:19:12,499
And I broke them up.

484
00:19:12,716 --> 00:19:14,544
Yeah, I have to--
oh, what the hell?

485
00:19:14,675 --> 00:19:16,067
Oh, no.

486
00:19:16,242 --> 00:19:18,157
Slinky, no.
No, Slinky, not in there.

487
00:19:20,898 --> 00:19:22,161
<i>- When we come back...</i>
- OK, it's supposed to be on

488
00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:23,292
during this commercial break.

489
00:19:23,466 --> 00:19:24,772
<i>With more dogs!</i>

490
00:19:24,859 --> 00:19:27,253
Oh, this is it.
It's on.

491
00:19:27,427 --> 00:19:29,820
<i>Here's a touchdown
that anyone can score.</i>

492
00:19:29,951 --> 00:19:32,301
<i>Vaccinate your kids
against measles.</i>

493
00:19:32,388 --> 00:19:34,869
<i>You'd have to have a worm
in your brain not to do it.</i>

494
00:19:36,436 --> 00:19:38,264
Yay!

495
00:19:38,394 --> 00:19:40,701
- Aww.
- Yes.

496
00:19:40,788 --> 00:19:43,356
But, Monica,
that's from, like, the 1900s.

497
00:19:43,486 --> 00:19:44,922
How is it on TV?

498
00:19:45,009 --> 00:19:47,708
Well, I called the Ad Council
with a new pitch.

499
00:19:47,795 --> 00:19:49,753
I realized
they were going to need to make

500
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,365
a bunch of new PSAs
for all those old diseases,

501
00:19:52,495 --> 00:19:55,542
or they could just rerun
the ones they already had.

502
00:19:55,629 --> 00:19:57,500
And if the measles
can make a comeback,

503
00:19:57,587 --> 00:19:59,067
so can Reggie Dinkins.
- Yeah!

504
00:19:59,154 --> 00:20:00,851
Yeah.

505
00:20:00,982 --> 00:20:02,766
I said it from the start.

506
00:20:02,897 --> 00:20:04,507
I don't know
what I'm doing anymore.

507
00:20:04,638 --> 00:20:06,161
And I never did.

508
00:20:06,335 --> 00:20:07,423
But if Max is right,

509
00:20:07,597 --> 00:20:08,859
and no one knows
what they're doing,

510
00:20:09,033 --> 00:20:11,993
then we know as much as anyone.

511
00:20:14,648 --> 00:20:16,650
Knock, knock.

512
00:20:16,737 --> 00:20:19,348
Hey, Carmelo, can we talk?

513
00:20:19,479 --> 00:20:20,741
Oh.

514
00:20:27,182 --> 00:20:30,098
What does a teenage boy
need with stamps?

515
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:33,319
He didn't even know
what a stamp was two days ago.

516
00:20:33,406 --> 00:20:35,059
But then I remembered,

517
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:38,062
I had seen those stamps
somewhere.

518
00:20:38,193 --> 00:20:40,108
This where.

519
00:20:40,195 --> 00:20:43,024
Their breakup was
a ruse for the cameras.

520
00:20:43,154 --> 00:20:44,112
They knew I was watching,

521
00:20:44,286 --> 00:20:46,941
and they planned it all
via the post.

522
00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:49,204
<i>Carmelo and Delilah
didn't break up.</i>

523
00:20:49,422 --> 00:20:51,206
<i>They just went off the grid.</i>

524
00:20:51,424 --> 00:20:53,426
Well, I have learned my lesson.

525
00:20:53,556 --> 00:20:55,645
And this time,
I shall play no part

526
00:20:55,776 --> 00:20:59,736
in the inevitable drama.

527
00:20:59,823 --> 00:21:01,172
Truly.

528
00:21:01,303 --> 00:21:04,654
After all, who am I
to come between a Reggie

529
00:21:04,785 --> 00:21:08,484
and his beloved Arthur?

530
00:21:08,571 --> 00:21:10,791
What people don't realize

531
00:21:10,921 --> 00:21:12,532
is that when they kiss
an envelope,

532
00:21:12,662 --> 00:21:16,187
the mailman is the next person
that handles that envelope.

533
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,407
So the kiss goes to us.

534
00:21:18,538 --> 00:21:22,063
I mean, we deliver your mail,
but we keep the kisses.

535
00:21:22,193 --> 00:21:24,108
We keep the kisses!

536
00:21:24,239 --> 00:21:25,893
<i>- Good night, everybody.
- Good night.</i>
