MY NAME IS GLENN STEARNS, AND WITH HARD WORK,

I'M WORTH A...LOAD OF MONEY.

NO, I'M NOT GONNA SAY THAT. THAT WON'T WORK.

BUT YOU JUST DID. I DID, DIDN'T I?

ONE YEAR AGO, I TOOK ON THE HARDEST CHALLENGE OF MY LIFE.

I WENT UNDERCOVER IN ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA,

A CITY I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT.

I BET MYSELF A MILLION DOLLARS

THAT I COULD BE STRIPPED OF MY NAME, WEALTH, AND CONTACTS

AND BE GIVING ONLY $100.

MY AUDACIOUS GOAL -- TO BUILD A BRAND-NEW BUSINESS FROM SCRATCH

IN JUST 90 DAYS.

IF IT'S A PENNY SHORT OF A MILLION,

I'LL PUT $1 MILLION INTO IT.

THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED ME GET THERE WILL BE REWARDED,

BUT THEY DON'T KNOW IT.

¶¶

I NEARLY DIED DOING IT.

I FEEL LIKE CRAP.

I WENT FROM SLEEPING IN A TRUCK AND SELLING USED TIRES...

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. ...TO FLIPPING A HOUSE

AND WINNING A HUGE LOCAL FOOD COMPETITION...

FIRST PLACE. AAAH!!

...ALL SO THAT I COULD LAUNCH UNDERDOG BBQ...

HELLO, FOLKS! WELCOME TO UNDERDOG BBQ!

...PROVING THAT THE AMERICAN DREAM IS STILL ALIVE.

[ ALL SHOUT "UNDERDOG" ]

I'VE BEEN TO ERIE SEVEN TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR.

THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE ARE IN MY BLOOD.

$25,000

I NEED A HUG FROM YOU GIRLS, MAN.

[ ALL SHOUT "UNDERDOG" ]

Narrator: NOW, ON THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF UNDERDOG BBQ,

THE STORY CONTINUES.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET RUN OVER BY A FRICKIN SHARK.

TONIGHT, GLENN WILL GET HIS FIRST GLIMPSE

OF UNDERDOG BBQ IN MONTHS.

HI, LADIES.

WHAT HE FINDS THERE MAY SURPRISE EVEN HIM.

YOU DUPED ME.

NEW INSIGHTS FROM THE UNDERDOGS...

HORRIBLE DéJà VU.

Narrator: ...NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MOMENTS FROM THE SHOW...

HI, EVERYBODY. I'M IN A FRICKING PIECE OF...TRUCK.

Narrator: ...AND ONE MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

THAT WILL LEAVE THEM ALL SPEECHLESS.

I'VE BEEN REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF.

IT'S TIME... [ ALL SHOUT "UNDERDOG" ]

...TO RETURN TO ERIE.

B-HEY. -WHAT'S HAPPENING?

HOW YOU DOING, MAN?

I'M VERY, VERY GRATEFUL

THAT I'VE GOT THESE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE

I PROBABLY NEVER WOULD HAVE MET BEFORE IN MY LIFE,

AND YET THEY BECOME SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS NOW.

HOW'S THE LITTLE ONE?

HE'S GOOD. HE'S KEEPING ME AWAKE AND FILLING DIAPERS.

OH, THERE YOU GO.

LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS, SEE IF YOU'RE REALLY WORKING.

DIRTY AS HELL. OKAY, I LIKE IT. THERE YOU GO.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I WAS 30 YEARS INTO MY CAREER,

DOING BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED,

A YEAR OFF ON SOME BOAT SAILING AROUND THE WORLD

IN THIS CUSH ENVIRONMENT.

WHY DON'T I TAKE RISKS ANYMORE? I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THAT.

I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE.

I'VE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR YEARS,

BUT NOT AS GLENN STEARNS THE BILLIONAIRE.

WHEN YOU'RE RICH, PEOPLE TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY.

ALL MY BUDDIES LIKE ELWAY AND BRANSON THAT SAID,

"ARE YOU CRAZY?"

JUST REMEMBER WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION.

NOW THEY SEE.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE A CHANCE.

GREAT THINGS CAN COME OUT OF IT. MY SON COMES UP.

"HEY, DAD, I WANT TO LEARN TO FLIP CARS.

HEY, I WANT TO GO AND START FLIPPING HOUSES."

THEY GOT THE BUG AND WANTED TO GO OUT

AND BECOME YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS.

THIS EXPERIENCE ABSOLUTELY CHANGED MY LIFE AND REALIZED

THAT I WANTED TO DO IT AGAIN.

SO, I HAVE STARTED MY OWN MORTGAGE BANKING COMPANY AGAIN

CALLED KIND LENDING WITH MY WIFE, MINDY.

I'M STILL WORKING ON THE MIXED-TILE PROJECT.

SHOULD YOU WANT TO SHOW US

THE LIST OF PEOPLE THAT WERE MISSING?

I WANTED TO DO IT FROM THE GROUND UP ONE MORE TIME.

ANOTHER GREAT BUSINESS THAT I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT

IS CALLED ANIVIVE LIFESCIENCES.

IT'S MADE UP OF YOUNG PEOPLE, AND ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE

HAPPENS TO BE MY SON, SKYLER.

ANIVIVE WAS WORKING ON A DRUG FOR COVID-RELATED VIRUSES.

ONE OF OUR MEDICINES THAT TREATS CORONAVIRUS IN CATS

MAY BE EFFECTIVE IN HUMANS, AS WELL.

THAT'S IN CLINICAL TRIALS. RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE FDA.

IT'S I MEAN,IT'S BEEN GOING REALLY WELL.

EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE HEARD HAS BEEN POSITIVE.

IT'S EXCITING TO HAVE ALL THESE NEW BUSINESSES

IN VARIOUS STAGES, FROM STARTUP TO MAJOR EXPANSION.

AND BACK IN ERIE, UNDERDOG IS FACING

ITS OWN CRITICAL MOMENT -- ITS ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

GETTING BACK TO ERIE. THAT'S RIGHT.

¶¶

THAT'S WHY I'M HEADED BACK NOW,

I'M READY TO TAKE UNDERDOG TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

¶¶

IT DEFINITELY FEELS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS TIME.

SURE DOES LOOK COLD OUT THERE.

A LOT OF SNOW.

THIS MIGHT BE MY BED FOR THE NIGHT.

I CAME OUT TO BUILD A BUSINESS, BUT WHEN I FIRST STARTED,

YOU GO, "HOLY CRAP, I'VE GOT 100 BUCKS.

WHERE AM I GOING TO SLEEP? WHAT AM I GOING TO EAT?"

AND, SO, IT BECAME MORE OF A SURVIVAL MISSION FOR ME

WHERE I HAD TO GET MY HEAD RIGHT.

THAT WAS A LITTLE SURPRISING FOR ME

BECAUSE I JUST DIDN'T PUT ENOUGH EFFORT

INTO HOW HARD THAT WAS GOING TO BE.

¶¶

¶¶

¶¶

-CHRIS. -MR. STEARNS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I BROKE MY SHOULDER LAST NIGHT.

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING

I WAS TRYING TO TAKE OUT THE "HONEY-DO" LIST, YOU KNOW,

AND I ENDED UP TAKING ON MY ARM.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.

MY STRATEGY FOR BUILDING UNDERDOG'S TEAM

WAS TO FIND PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE,

ALL EXPERTS IN THEIR OWN FIELDS --

ENTREPRENEURS, TRADESMEN, ORGANIZERS, CREATIVES.

I'M GLENN. HOW YOU DOING?

CHRIS. NICE TO MEET YOU.

YEAH, REAL NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.

CHRIS TROTT WAS A CRUCIAL PART OF THE TEAM.

HE OWNS AND RUNS A METAL-FABRICATION SHOP.

HE BUILT THE SMOKER THAT WON RIB FEST

AND BECAME THE SYMBOL OF UNDERDOG BBQ.

HEY, SO, WANT TO GO TO ERIE AND CHECK OUT EVERYTHING?

YEAH. I TELL YOU WHAT -- WHY DON'T YOU DRIVE?

ALRIGHT, I THINK I'LL DRIVE.

ALRIGHT, PERFECT.

¶¶

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE HELL I'M GOING.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

¶¶

HOW YOU BEEN? GOOD.

THREE MONTHS AGO, DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC,

JOHN GOT INDUCED

AND WE WERE ABLE TO BRING OUR BABY BOY INTO THE WORLD.

THAT'S GREAT. THAT GIVES YOU SOME MOTIVATION

TO GET OUT THERE AND GET A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS GOING.

SINCE THE SHOW, HOW HAS IT AFFECTED YOUR BUSINESS?

YOU WANT FULL HONESTY? YEAH.

AFTER THE SHOW, WE JUST SKYROCKETED.

GOT TO GET OUT THERE, AND PEOPLE KNOW WHO I AM

AND KNOW THAT, HOPEFULLY, I DO GOOD WORK,

AND I STAND BY WHAT I SAY.

THIS WAS DEFINITELY ONE FOR THE BOOKS.

I GOT GREAT EXPOSURE, A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

THAT'S AWESOME. I THINK I NEED TO GET

A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH, YOU KNOW, FINANCIAL RISK.

I HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME PRICING WHAT I DO.

BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY? WHAT ABOUT NOW YOUR SON?

KNOW YOUR WORTH.

MANY PEOPLE UNDERVALUE THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO EVALUATE NOT ONLY WHAT IT COST YOU,

BUT THE LEVEL OF QUALITY YOU PROVIDE THEM.

¶¶

I SENT YOU THAT E-MAIL BY ACCIDENT.

ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT WERE COUNTING ON ME,

AND I GO AND SCREW IT ALL UP.

CHRIS AND I HAD A PIVOTAL MOMENT.

NO. NO.

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.

AFTER 11 WEEKS OF BEING UNDERCOVER,

I SCREWED UP BIG TIME.

I SENT CHRIS TROTT AN E-MAIL, BUT I SIGNED MY NAME.

I SIGNED MY REAL NAME.

Trott: HELLO. CHRIS.

THOUGHT MAYBE WE'D SIT DOWN AND CHAT IF YOU DON'T MIND.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA

'CAUSE I'M ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AWAY

FROM JUST KIND OF WALKING AWAY FROM THIS THING.

WE BOTH WORKED REALLY HARD, AND EVERYBODY WORKED REALLY HARD,

AND THEY HAVE A LOT TO STAND TO LOSE.

I'M NOT GOING TO TELL ANYBODY.

THAT MOMENT CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR ME.

I REALIZED HOW CLOSE I WAS TO MY COVER BEING BLOWN

AND LOSING EVERYONE'S TRUST.

I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO THINK THAT I WAS PLAYING THEM

OR THAT I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE DUMB.

I HATED LYING TO THEM,

BUT I HAD TO IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CHALLENGE AUTHENTIC.

THAT AIDED ME THE WHOLE TIME THAT I WAS IN ERIE.

TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT STOOD TO BENEFIT

FROM THE WHOLE THING WORKING.

WHEN I LOOK BACK ON HOW IT TURNED OUT,

I ENJOYED HAVING A CONFIDANT, SOMEONE IN MY CORNER,

BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO KEEP A SECRET.

FOR THAT LONG. OH, MY GOODNESS.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHOLE PHONE CONVERSATION WE HAD

WHEN YOU CALLED ME, I WAS BUTT NAKED.

WHAT?!

I HAD JUST GOTTEN OUT OF THE SHOWER

WHEN YOU SENT ME THAT E-MAIL. AND I STOOD THERE,

LOOKED AT MY PHONE WAS LIKE, "YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME."

I'M LIKE, "NO. NO. NO. NO.

I GOT TO FINISH THIS CONVERSATION."

[ LAUGHS ]

¶¶

SO, SHOW ME WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE, MAN.

THE WALL WENT FROM HERE ALL THE WAY ACROSS,

SO WE TOOK DOWN THE WALL

AND THEN MOVED THE BLUE PRESS BREAK --

THAT'S WHAT YOU BENT THAT PIECE OF STEEL WITH --

AND THEN THE SHEAR THAT YOU CUT IT WITH,

I JUST GOT RID OF THAT.

HOW DO YOU MOVE ALL THIS STUFF?

WE HAVE A FORKLIFT, AND IT MOVES IT JUST FINE.

YOU'VE GOTTEN A LOT MORE ORGANIZED

AND TAKEN ON A LOT MORE EQUIPMENT.

PERCEPTION IS REALITY.

WHEN A CUSTOMER WALKS INTO ANY STORE,

IT NEEDS TO BE ORGANIZED BECAUSE IT SENDS A MESSAGE OF QUALITY.

LAST YEAR, CHRIS'S SHOP WAS A BIT OF A MESS.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE HAS REORGANIZED

HIS ENTIRE WORKSPACE.

WHEN YOU WALK IN THERE NOW,

YOU'RE LIKE, "THIS IS A GUY THAT KNOWS HIS..."

AND THAT FEELING IS GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE

WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO WORK WITH CHRIS.

GLAD YOU'RE DOING WELL. SHOP LOOKS GREAT.

WE'LL SEE YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.

SOUNDS GOOD.

¶¶

I'M BACK TO CHECK IN ON UNDERDOG.

Man: I GOT FOOD UP!

THE ONES RUNNING THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS

ARE ASHLEY AND COWBOY MIKE.

MIKE'S THE GENERAL MANAGER,

AND ASHLEY OVERSEES THE KITCHEN.

THEY THINK I'M HERE FOR THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

HI, LADIES.

OH, HEY, STRANGER. HEY.

Glenn: I'M REALLY ARE HERE TO FIND OUT

HOW WELL THEY'VE PIVOTED THROUGH ADVERSITY.

AS MUCH AS I WANT TO TAKE UNDERDOG TO THE NEXT LEVEL,

I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN HANDLE THE BIG CHANGES

THAT WILL BE REQUIRED.

SO, HOW'S EVERYBODY BEEN?

-PRETTY GOOD. -OH, MAN.

BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES. IT WAS INTENSE.

-LONG DAYS. -YEAH.

UNDERDOG PIVOTED WHEN THE STAY- AT-HOME ORDER CAME DOWN.

THEY BEEFED UP TAKEOUT OPERATIONS

AND OPENED UP THE FRONT PATIO FOR OUTDOOR DINING.

I MEAN, I CAN'T EVEN COUNT HOW MANY TIMES ONE OF US

WOULD WALK ON EACH OTHER, AND WE HAD A LAWN CHAIR SET UP,

AND WE'D BE SLEEPING IN THE LAWN CHAIRS JUST OUT OF IT.

I MEAN, I THINK WE ALL KIND OF STEPPED UP.

YEAH, YOU DID.

AND WHAT YOU'LL FIND IS A LOT OF TIMES,

WHEN YOU'RE AT YOUR DARKEST AND YOU THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW,

THE WORST THAT CAN BE, YOU COME OUT OF IT,

AND YOU FEEL STRONGER.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

AND I THINK THEN YOU GET, AGAIN, A BIGGER SENSE OF PRIDE,

AND YOU GUYS COME BECOME CLOSER TOGETHER.

WHAT I'VE SEEN HERE TODAY IS THAT THE WHOLE TEAM CAN ADAPT

EVEN IN THE HARDEST CIRCUMSTANCES.

UNDERDOG BEAT THE ODDS,

BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE.

I HAVE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE TEAM

THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR LIVES.

Glenn: IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE UNDERDOG LAUNCHED.

HELLO, FOLKS! WELCOME TO UNDERDOG BBQ!

I CHALLENGED MYSELF TO BUILD A BUSINESS

IN JUST 90 DAYS WITHOUT USING MY NAME OR MONEY.

I WANTED TO PROVE THAT WITH HARD WORK AND OPPORTUNITY,

THE AMERICAN DREAM IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL.

JOE SCHEMBER. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

REALLY GOOD. GOOD TO SEE YOU. WELCOME BACK TO ERIE.

WHEN I CAME TO ERIE LAST YEAR, I WENT DEEP UNDERCOVER.

I MEAN, THAT MEANT LYING TO EVERYONE ABOUT WHO I WAS,

INCLUDING ERIE'S MAYOR.

IT'S BEEN REAL REWARDING FOR ME.

AND THAT'S ALSO WHY I'VE COME BACK SO MUCH.

AND WHEN THE CAMERAS WENT AWAY, I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW?

I WAS LIKE, "UH-OH, I REALLY GOT A REAL BUSINESS HERE."

YEAH.

WE HAVE THE UNDERDOG ENTREPRENEURIAL FUND.

WE HELP THE BRAND-NEW ENTREPRENEUR,

WHICH IS THE STARTUP CAPITAL, TO MAYBE GET HIS BUSINESS PERMIT

OR GET INCORPORATED OR JUST THE REAL SMALL STARTING MONEY.

PEOPLE JUST NEED A TINY HELPING HAND

AND THEN THEY CAN GO FROM THERE.

YES. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE HERE IN THE AREA,

A LOT OF GREAT NEW BUSINESSES STARTING UP.

THE BUSINESSES OF THE FUTURE, I THINK, ARE STARTING RIGHT NOW.

I WAS REALLY PROUD OF WHAT HAPPENED OUT OF THIS SHOW.

YOU SHOULD BE. AND IT WAS NOT SO MUCH

ABOUT BUILDING A RESTAURANT, WHICH WAS REALLY NICE,

BUT IT WAS ABOUT EVERYONE COMING TOGETHER AND HELPING.

THE COMMON THEME AMONG R.J., DAWN,

CHRIS, CHRIS, MATT, WAS THAT THEY WERE DOING IT

BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO HELP ERIE.

ABSOLUTELY.

I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE CITY.

THE SHOW -- QUITE AN INCREDIBLY POSITIVE IMPACT HERE

'CAUSE THE BARBECUE IS STILL OPEN.

PEOPLE STILL LOVE TO GO THERE. WHEN I DRIVE BY THERE,

IT'S INCREDIBLY CROWDED, AND IT STILL IS.

BEFORE WE'RE DONE, I WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE OF MY PENS.

I'M A PEN FREAK. I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT.

IT SAYS, "I'M COMMITTED TO BEING OPEN, HONEST,

TRANSPARENT, AND ACCESSIBLE."

AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE I GIVE THIS TO THEM

SO THEY CAN HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE TO DO THAT.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M GIVING IT TO YOU, ALSO.

YOU KNOW WHAT? THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THAT'S SO NICE.

Glenn: IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE MAYOR.

HE IS SOMEONE THAT WELCOMED ME RIGHT OFF THE BAT

WHEN I CAME HERE, AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD.

¶¶

-MATT. -HEY.

GOOD SEEING YOU, MAN. HEY. HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GOOD. WHEN I LEFT LAST YEAR,

I PUT MATT SANDERS IN CHARGE OF BEER,

WHICH HE'S STILL LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EXPAND.

HOW'S LIFE?

OH, MAN, IT'S IT'S BEEN AMAZING.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, HE GOT OFFERED HIS DREAM JOB --

A CHANCE TO LEAD AND MENTOR A WHOLE TEAM OF PEOPLE.

HE'S HAD TO DIAL BACK HIS ROLE AT UNDERDOG,

BUT I CAN STILL CALL HIM

ANY TIME I NEED A SOUNDING BOARD.

ZACH, MY BOSS, HE'S A HUGE FAN OF THE SHOW --

PROBABLY THE BIGGEST FAN IN ALL OF ERIE.

SO, I DID SOME CONSULTING WITH THEM,

AND IT ENDED UP HELPING BUILD SOME PROCESSES

AND ALL THAT STUFF.

AWESOME, MAN. CONGRATULATIONS.

I MEAN, LET'S FACE IT, I MEAN, I SAW THE QUALITIES

THAT OTHERS HAVE NOW SEEN IN MATT.

HE'S ONE OF THE MOST HONEST, ORGANIZED,

AND TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE I KNOW.

YOU WERE ALWAYS ONE THAT I KNEW I COULD HAND IT TO,

AND I KNEW YOU'D GET IT DONE.

I'M PROUD OF THAT.

AND, SO, YOU GET YOUR CHECK FOR $20,000.

I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

IT MEANS A LOT.

IT'S JUST SO NICE, YOU KNOW?

SO, WE HAVE ALL -- THEY'RE ALL MILLENNIALS,

OR GEN Z EMPLOYEES, 35 OF THEM.

A LOT OF THEM, THIS IS THEIR FIRST JOB.

WE'VE IMPLEMENTED A LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

BECAUSE SOME OF OUR MANAGERS WERE KIND OF GREEN.

AND, SO, THAT ENCOMPASSES A READING LIST

AND TED TALKS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS.

DETERMINE WHAT YOUR BEST AT AND CAPITALIZE ON IT.

I BROUGHT MATT INTO THE UNDERDOG TEAM

BECAUSE HE WAS SO ORGANIZED AND GREAT AT LOGISTICS.

YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE THE TEAM LEADS.

SO, R.J., YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S MAKING

ALL THE DECISIONS ON BARBECUE. YOU KNOW, GLENN AND I

ARE GOING TO BE GOING OUT AND TALKING TO THE BREWERS.

I'M NOT AS ORGANIZED, SO HE HELPED KEEP ME

AS WELL AS THE OTHER UNDERDOGS ON TRACK.

IT'S BEEN FUN TO KIND OF INTERACT WITH YOU

AND WATCH THIS TRANSFORMATION.

WELL, YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, "I WANT MY KIDS TO BE PROUD OF ME,

AND I WANT TO PROVE THAT I CAN DO IT AGAIN."

AND, SO, SOME OF MY TRANSFORMATION

IS PART OF DOING THAT.

HEY, NOW I GET A HUG. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ALRIGHT, THANKS. THIS WAS AWESOME.

¶¶

SO, I SET UP A MEETING WITH MAGGIE HORNE.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT I MET IN ERIE.

SO, I HAD TO KEEP MY LITTLE WHITE LIE

GOING WITH HER LONGER THAN ANYONE.

HI, MAGGIE. HOW ARE YOU? HEY. HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. HOW YOU'VE BEEN? GOOD TO SEE YOU.

SO, HOW'S EVERYTHING?

AS CRAZY AS IT USUALLY IS.

SOME OF THE SOCIAL-MEDIA COMMENTS,

THEY SAID, "OH, MAGGIE MUST HAVE BEEN IN ON IT.

SHE KNEW ALL ABOUT IT."

I WAS LIKE, SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING.

NOPE. YOU DUPED ME FROM THE BEGINNING,

AND, LIKE, WHEN YOU TOLD ME --

"OKAY, SO, YOU'VE BEEN LYING TO ME FOR THREE MONTHS.

NOT LYING! YOU WERE.

Horne: AND I HAD NO IDEA WHO HE REALLY WAS,

BUT TO BE ABLE TO SEE HIM AGAIN WAS AWESOME.

HE JUST HOLDS A PIECE OF MY WORLD VERY CLOSE TO ME

WHEN I CAME IN, AND I ASKED YOU FOR HELP,

AND THEN I HAD WANTED TO BE UP AND RUNNING VERY QUICKLY.

DID THAT CAUSE ANY RED FLAGS FOR YOU,

OR DID YOU JUST THINK I WAS CRAZY?

NO, I JUST THOUGHT YOU WERE CRAZY

LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY CRAZY PERSON WE'VE EVER DEALT WITH.

HOW ARE YOU? SO NICE TO MEET YOU.

Horne: YOU WERE VERY DETERMINED.

TA-DA! WE'RE HERE.

Horne: AND YOU CAME IN AND SAID 90 DAYS.

I SAID, "OKAY, GUYS, THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN

WITH OR WITHOUT US.

Glenn: I LIKE COLLABORATING WITH HER.

I LIKE GETTING TOGETHER AND TALKING BUSINESS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING, MAGGIE,

THAT YOU AND THE SBDC NOT ONLY DID FOR ME,

BUT FOR ALL ENTREPRENEURS. SO, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AWW, THAT'S SO SWEET. THANK YOU, GLENN.

APPRECIATE IT ALL.

¶¶

SO, I TALK MORE WITH R.J. THAN ANY OF THE OTHER UNDERDOGS,

I LOOK AT R.J. MORE LIKE MY MY SON

THEN THESE OTHER GUYS.

HE'S FASCINATING, ACTUALLY,

BUT HE'S ALSO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE HE'S GOT HIS OWN...GEAR.

R.J. IS OVERSEEING THE SAUCES AND RUBS LINE FOR UNDERDOG,

AND HE OPENED A BRAND NEW STORE FOR IRON EMPIRE CLOTHING,

HIS CUSTOM SCREEN PRINTING BUSINESS.

HE'S GOT A BRAND-NEW LOCATION

AND A BIG-WIG INVESTOR WHO REALLY BELIEVES IN HIM.

ME.

WHAT'S HAPPENING? NOTHING MUCH.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. HEY, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

R.J. WAS MY FIRST FRIEND IN ERIE.

R.J. HEY, GLENN.

-NICE TO MEET YOU. -YEAH, NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.

AND HE GAVE ME MY FIRST JOB.

[As Scarface ] SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND.

SO, I LIKE THIS. THIS IS NICE.

YEAH, THIS IS MY RIG.

GOSH, IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD, R.J.

YEAH. IT'S COMING ALONG.

I MEAN, YOU'VE COME SO FAR. I MEAN, I'M REAL PROUD OF YOU.

THANK YOU.

R.J.: IT'S VERY GOOD FEELING TO KNOW

THAT IT WASN'T JUST, "HEY, I'M GOING TO COME DO THIS.

I WANT TO DO THE SHOW AND DISAPPEAR,

AND I'M NEVER GOING TO BE BACK."

IT SHOWS HE THAT TRULY DOES CARE ABOUT THE BUSINESSES

HE'S INVOLVED WITH HERE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE OPEN UP IN NOVEMBER,

WE WERE STARTING TO SEE THAT INCLINE UP IN SALES,

AND THEN, BOOM, THE SHUTDOWN HAPPENED,

AND, FORTUNATELY. FOR MYSELF AND MY EMPLOYEES OF MY COMPANY,

HAVING SOMEONE LIKE GLENN IN OUR CORNER

COULD BE CRUCIAL FOR US TO GO THROUGH THOSE GROWING PAINS.

THIS IS ALL A BIG JOB FOR THE ANIMAL SHELTER.

WE DO A LOT OF WORK WITH THEM.

WE DO A LOT OF FUNDRAISER EVENTS WITH THEM.

BUT THESE ARE ACTUALLY SOME REALLY NICE SHIRTS.

THIS IS A BIG ONE FOR ST. VINCENT,

THE HOSPITAL HERE.

Glenn: R.J.'s PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN SELLING REALLY WELL IN ERIE,

BUT THERE'S A BIGGER PLAY.

HE COULD BE SELLING HIS SHIRTS AND HATS NATIONWIDE.

I GOT TO GET HIM TO THINK BIGGER.

PEOPLE IN OUR COMPANY WILL ORDER SHIRTS AND HATS

AND THINGS IN THE PAST,

THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM.

THEY JUST ORDER ONLINE, THE SHIPMENT COMES.

SO, WE'VE GOT TO THINK MUCH BIGGER THAN ERIE,

AND START DOING SOME E-MAIL BLASTS.

YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE SWIMMING

WITH ALL THE OTHER FISH, AND WE'RE GOING,

"HEY, EVERYBODY ELSE IS SWIMMING AT THE SAME SPEED.

IT FEELS PRETTY GOOD."

YOU'RE GOING TO GET RUN OVER BY A FRICKIN SHARK

THAT'S GONNA EAT YOUR ASS, MAN.

YOU KNOW, SO, YOU GOT TO START THINKING LIKE THAT.

SWIM LIKE A SHARK.

SHARKS CONSTANTLY MOVE, EVEN WHEN THEY'RE SLEEPING.

ANY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS NEEDS TO MOVE AND GROW

IN ORDER TO SURVIVE AND FIGHT OFF THE COMPETITION

THAT'S CONSTANTLY COMING AFTER THEM, JUST LIKE A SHARK.

I'M PROUD OF YOU. I MEAN, YOU'VE TAKEN THESE BAD TIMES

AND TURNED IT INTO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

THAT'S WHAT BEING A BUSINESS OWNER IS ALL ABOUT.

NOW, LET'S GO GET ME A SHIRT. I NEED A SHIRT.

OH, YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.

¶¶

-HI! -HOW ARE YOU? HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD. YOU, TOO. YOU LOOK GOOD.

HOLY TRUCK UPGRADE. I KNOW. [ LAUGHS ]

DAWN'S BUSINESS HAS EXPLODED.

I PUSHED HER BEYOND HER COMFORT ZONE,

SOMETHING THAT REALLY ALLOWED HER TO EXPAND IN THE LAST YEAR.

THIS WAS ORIGINAL TO THE BUILDING.

THIS DESK? THIS WHOLE DESK.

THIS IS WHERE THEY USED TO CUT FABRIC

BECAUSE IT USED TO BE A DRESS SHOP.

WHEN GLENN FIRST CAME TO TOWN, I WAS SORT OF STRUGGLING.

BUSINESS HAS BEEN BETTER THROUGH HARD WORK

AND PUSHING MYSELF AS WELL AS EXPOSURE FROM THE SHOW,

WHICH HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS LAST YEAR,

IT WAS KIND OF EMPTY.

-DAWN? -YEAH, ARE YOU GLAD?

I AM. HI. HI.

I RESEARCHED THE TOP DESIGNERS IN THE AREA,

AND DAWN VAN SCOTERS NAME KEEPS COMING UP.

Van Scoter: SO, YOU WANT ME TO FLIP A HOUSE

AND DESIGN A RESTAURANT AT THE SAME TIME?

Glenn: SHE WENT WAY ABOVE ANYTHING SHE'D EVER DONE

AND WOULD STRETCH FAR OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE.

I ASKED YOU TO DO A LOT, SO I WROTE YOU A CHECK.

IT'S FOR $25,000. IT'S FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

[ Voice breaking ] I'VE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH MONEY IN MY LIFE.

WELL, I'VE BUILT IT UP AND EACH SPOT IS IS RENTED OUT,

AND I WON BEST ANTIQUE STORE 2019.

DID YOU REALLY? YEAH.

I'M GOING TO PROBABLY HAVE A SPACE OPENING UP HERE SOON.

THE RENT THERE IS $120. I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

YOU KNOW... [ LAUGHS ]

THE FACT THAT YOU WERE PRETTY RAW, YOU KNOW,

I'M SORRY. WHY?

YOU WERE BEING YOU. I WAS VERY ANGRY WITH YOU.

IT'S TOO MUCH FOR JUST ME TO DO.

WHAT IF HIS BUSINESS NEVER COMES TO FRUITION,

FLIPPED THE HOUSE, BUT HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

WALK AWAY.

WHAT'S THE GOAL, DO YOU THINK?

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THIS BREAKING EVEN IS ONE THING,

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT FOUR-20, YOUR DESIGN BUSINESS,

WHICH GIVES YOU THAT ABILITY TO MAKE MORE.

NINE-20.

I MEAN, NINE-20. FOUR-20 IS --

YOU KNOW, I'M LIVING IN CALIFORNIA AGAIN, OKAY?

THE GOAL OF EVERY BUSINESS OWNER IS TO REPLACE YOURSELF.

WHEN YOU START A BUSINESS, YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING

BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY OTHER PEOPLE.

BUT, EVENTUALLY, IF YOU'RE SUCCESSFULLY EXPANDING

YOUR BUSINESS AND GENERATING A LOT OF REVENUE,

YOU CAN BRING IN OTHER SKILLED PEOPLE TO DO THE HEAVY LIFTING.

DAWN IS AT THAT POINT.

THE STORE'S DOING REALLY WELL.

I COME IN ON DAYS THAT I'M NOT ON JOB SITES,

AND THEN I HAVE VENDORS WHO WORK FOR ME CONSISTENTLY.

AND, USUALLY, IT WAS MY MOM WHO HAD WORKED FOR ME

AND DONE ALL MY MANAGEMENT STUFF.

AND I MET HER IN THAT BACK ROOM WHEN WE WERE FILMING.

AND YOU ALWAYS HAD YOUR MOM WATCHING YOUR KIDS.

[ Voice breaking ] MY MOM GOT REALLY, REALLY SICK...

IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS. OH, GOSH.

AND THEY FOUND STAGE-FOUR CANCER.

WE LAUGHED A LOT DURING THE MONTH,

AND SHE STILL DRANK HER NATTY LIGHT

AND SMOKED HER CIGARETS, AND, YOU KNOW,

SHE PLAYED CARDS WITH THE KIDS, AND SHE AND I JUST TALKED,

AND I DID THE BEST I COULD TO TAKE CARE OF HER.

SO, SHE PASSED MAY 31st.

IT'S REALLY HARD, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I REALLY AM. THANK YOU.

THAT'S A HARD ONE. IT REALLY IS.

I'M JUST REALLY HAPPY I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, UGLY CRY.

¶¶

YOU'RE A TOUGH CHICK. I AM!

A COUPLE OF TEARS IN YOUR EYE, AND WALKED BACK OUT THERE.

¶¶

Glenn: I HAVE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

THAT WILL TAKE UNDERDOG BEYOND ERIE

AND A SECRET THAT I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE ABOUT.

SURPRISE!

Glenn: IT'S THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY FOR UNDERDOG BBQ.

THE RESTAURANT HAS WEATHERED

SOME SERIOUS STORMS IN THAT TIME.

ALRIGHT.

-WELCOME, EVERYONE. -HEY, THANKS. -SURE.

I'VE INVITED COWBOY MIKE, ASHLEY, AND, OF COURSE, CLEAT

TO LOOK BACK AT SOME OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM LAST YEAR.

AND I'VE EXTENDED AN INVITATION TO ONE OTHER PERSON.

I'VE BEEN REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS, YOU KNOW?

WHAT HE'S BEEN UP TO, CLEAT?

I HAVE A NEW GRANDCHILD, A SECOND ONE.

SO, MY DAYS ARE FILLED WITH WATCHING MY GRANDDAUGHTER.

SHE JUST TURNED 1 A WEEK AGO.

GETTING ANY SMOKING DONE?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

IF YOU GOT 'EM, YOU GOT TO SMOKE 'EM.

THAT'S RIGHT. [ LAUGHTER ]

COWBOY MIKE AND CLEAT,

I MEAN, YOU ALL IMPRESSED US WITH YOUR FOOD.

SO, WHY DON'T WE TAKE A LOOK AND SEE HOW THAT ALL STARTED?

WHAT'S UP, SIR? GOOD TO SEE YOU.

R.J.: CLEAT, HE'S A VERY WELL-KNOWN GUY IN THE AREA.

I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME, PERSONALLY.

I DON'T BRAG ABOUT TOO MUCH,

BUT MY PULLED PORK IS PRETTY DARN GOOD.

OH, YEAH. I MAKE LOVE TO IT. [ LAUGHS ]

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU KNOW MEAT.

YOU KNOW PEOPLE. WE'D LOVE FOR YOU TO BECOME

THE FRONT MAN OF UNDERDOG BBQ AT RIB FEST.

WHOO!

OH, HE'S FANTASTIC.

YOU CAN'T BE BRINGING SEXY BACK, 'CAUSE IT NEVER LEFT!

HE'S THE SHOW. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO HAVE

DINNER AND A SHOW? HE TO SHOW.

Glenn: CLEAT IS A FULL-TIME GRANDFATHER NOW.

I WAS BUMMED TO LOSE HIM AS OUR FRONT MAN,

BUT HE'S ALWAYS EMBODIED EVERYTHING THAT'S GREAT

ABOUT UNDERDOG. I MEAN, HE'S BOLD. HE'S FUN.

HE LIGHTS UP THE ROOM EVERY TIME HE WALKS IN.

MAN, SAY I'M HUNGRY! [ LAUGHS ]

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE KIND OF LOOK

BACK ON THE SHOW, YOU KNOW, ASHLEY,

WE DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT INTERVIEW IN THE BEGINNING.

Messenger: I REMEMBER.

I HAVE, LIKE, OCD, AND LIKE, SOMETIMES I GET, LIKE,

REAL NERVOUS, LIKE THE STRESS.

DO I LOVE IT? I MEAN, NO.

LIKE, I'M PROBABLY GOING TO DIE EARLY

OF A HEART ATTACK OR SOMETHING,

BUT HOW DO I HANDLE IT WELL? NO, I DON'T.

RIGHT.

UNTIL I SAW YOU IN ACTION, YOU KNOW?

Man: I GOT MY SISTER COMING DOWN TO GET SOME HELP.

ALL DISHES, I WANT OVER HERE.

OKAY, GET THIS WIPED DOWN. GET THAT WATER OFF.

GET ALL OF THESE DOWN HERE UP HERE. YEP.

LET'S USE THIS IS A DISH RACK.

I NEED A HALF SLAB, A SAMPLER,

AND TWO PLATTERS FOR RIBS DOWN AND BRISKET.

ORDER UP!

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A YEAR LATER,

AND YOU'RE HERE ROCKING THIS PLACE.

SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TESTAMENT TO WHO YOU ARE,

AND I'M REALLY GLAD WE GOT THAT SECOND CHANCE.

I NEVER EXPECTED MY CAREER TO SHIFT IN THIS DIRECTION.

SO, I FEEL LIKE I'VE GROWN SO MUCH,

AND I'VE LEARNED A LOT, AND JUST KEEP ON GOING, YOU KNOW?

THERE'S A SAYING IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS

CALLED "BEING IN THE WEEDS."

AND SOME PEOPLE HANDLE IT BETTER THAN OTHERS.

UNDER STRESS, SOMETIMES, YOU HANDLE IT CERTAIN WAYS.

YOU GO INTO WAR. YOU GO INTO ACTION, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, AND, SO, YOU HELPED,

BUT THEN, ULTIMATELY, KIND OF THINGS

CAME TO A HEAD WITH CHRISTINE AND MYSELF.

AND THAT WAS INTERESTING.

SO, YOU'RE PULLING THE PORK.

Muir: PUT THIS ON ABOUT 11:00 LAST NIGHT

AND I PULLED IT JUST AS I WAS WALKING OUT THE DOOR,

CHRISTINE WAS OUR ACE IN THE HOLE CHEF.

HER BRISKET AND RIBS WERE SOME OF THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD.

SHE PUT TOGETHER OUR ENTIRE MENU.

-HOW GOOD IS THAT? -IT'S AMAZING.

I LIKE FEEDING PEOPLE

BECAUSE WHEN YOU COOK GOOD FOOD, PEOPLE SMILE.

THE PROBLEM WAS HER ABILITY TO WORK UNDER PRESSURE.

AS WE SAW AT RIB FEST,

IT WAS THE BIGGEST MOMENT IN UNDERDOG'S LIFE

AND IT WENT LESS THAN SMOOTHLY.

Muir: THE RIBS ARE FROZEN SOLID.

WHAT DOES THAT LEAVE US AT?

ONE.

-SO, WE HAVE ONE SERVING. -I DON'T KNOW.

-NO MORE BRISKET. -WHAT TIME IS IT?

-IT'S 12:01. -HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTS BRISKET TODAY.

I'M DUMBFOUNDED, QUITE QUITE HONESTLY.

LIKE, HOW HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? I MEAN, IT'S FRUSTRATING.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE WATCHING MONEY WALK AWAY.

HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT INVENTORY TO HAVE?!

ALL I'M SAYING IS COMMUNICATE.

I TOLD ALL FOUR OF THEM -- ALL FOUR OF THEM.

OKAY, AND THEN WE'VE GOT TO KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH

AND FIND OUT DO THEY DO IT

BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL SO BUSY, RIGHT.

WE'RE ALL BUSY.

I KNOW. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

ALL OF US -- EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.

THAT'S WHY I KEEP GOING BACK TO YOU.

TELL ME -- YEAH, YOU COME BACK TO ME!

THANKFULLY, ASHLEY CAME IN AND SAVED THE DAY,

BUT THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS

THAT I WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF.

-SURPRISE! -THE SURPRISE.

OH, HOW ARE YOU DOING, CHRISTINE?

Muir: I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE.

I'VE BEEN REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

AND JUST FOR THE RECORD,

GLENN AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING FOR A YEAR.

HEY, YOU GET CLOSER THROUGH CONFLICT.

AND THEN THERE WAS MORE TO COME. LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING. UGH!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I JUST NEED AN OPENING DATE

SO I CAN GET ALL THE STUFF THAT I NEED, GLENN.

YEAH, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE ALL THAT OUT.

SO, A COUPLE OF THINGS -- ONE IS, YOU KNOW, I MEAN,

RIB FEST, THE FACT THAT WE WON IS CRAZY.

I COULDN'T BE PROUDER.

AND I KNOW YOU AND I HAD A COUPLE --

THAT'S IN THE PAST. IT'S IN THE PAST, GLENN.

NO, I KNOW IT IS. BUT WE HAVE THESE DIFFERENCES.

LIKE, I SEE IT DIFFERENTLY.

IF YOU'RE GONNA FIRE ME, JUST DO IT.

NO, I'M NOT. LOOK, I'M DONE,

BUT I STILL WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT

BECAUSE OF THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS.

WELL, FINE. THEN SEND IT TO ME. NO.

SEND ME MY EQUIPMENT.

¶¶

IS THAT THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE WATCHED THAT?

YEAH, I WAS THERE.

SO [LAUGHS] DID I NEED TO WATCH IT?

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT,

IF I COULD WALK OFF AGAIN, I HONESTLY WOULD.

YEP. WHERE I'M AT NOW, I LOVE IT.

I MANAGE A BARBECUE RESTAURANT IN WARREN COUNTY

THAT IS IN THE TOP-EIGHT BARBECUE RESTAURANTS

IN THE STATE.

-NICE. -AND I LOVE IT.

THE PLACE IS AWESOME. IT'S PHENOMENAL.

WHERE YOU'RE AT NOW WITH THIS RESTAURANT,

LIKE, THESE TWO WERE MEANT TO BE HERE.

I WAS MEANT TO BE WHERE I'M AT, WHERE I'M AT NOW, MANAGING.

WELL, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU. THANK YOU.

A DOOR DEFINITELY CLOSES SO ANOTHER DOOR OPENS.

ONLY WE DON'T REALIZE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE

ANOTHER DOOR THAT OPENS.

I AM A FIRM BELIEVER. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON,

BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO GO THROUGH.

SO, I MEAN, WHAT DID YOU LEARN

FROM THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE ITSELF?

WHEN YOU TAKE SUCH AN ECLECTIC GROUP OF PEOPLE

WHO HAVE NEVER MET EACH OTHER, AND YOU HAVE A DREAM

AND THE RIGHT PERSON TO LEAD, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.

YOU HAVE A FARM GIRL, AND I NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS

THOUGHT THAT ANY OF THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN,

LIKE 10 YEARS AGO.

WE DID THE BEST WE COULD, AND WE KEPT ADAPTING.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND HIRE THE SAME PEOPLE

AGAIN, WOULD YOU? I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING.

NOT ONE THING. NOT ONE THING, BUT THE WHOLE THING.

HEY, LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, GLENN. I LOVE YOU.

-I LOVE YOU, TOO. -[ LAUGHS ] MWAH!

I LOVE YOU, MIKE. WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

Glenn: I'M BRINGING IN THE CORE FOUR --

R.J., DAWN, CHRIS, AND MATT, TO LOOK AT CLIPS

FROM THE SHOW THAT NEVER AIRED...

[ LAUGHS ]

...INCLUDING SOMETHING I WENT THROUGH THAT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT.

¶¶

¶¶

Glenn: IT'S THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF UNDERDOG'S BARBECUE.

I'M BRINGING IN THE CORE FOUR

TO WATCH MOMENTS THAT NEVER AIRED BEFORE.

BUT THIS ISN'T JUST A LOOK BACK.

I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE.

WHAT'S BEEN YOUR FEEDBACK FROM THE SHOW?

I WAS ASKED A LOT,

"HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON?"

"I HAVE THE BEST IDEA EVER.

I NEED TO TALK TO MR. GLENN. DO YOU HAVE HIS NUMBER?"

I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS

ABOUT HOW REAL REALITY TV IS.

AND, YOU KNOW, I TELL PEOPLE, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S REAL.

I MEAN, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL OF OUR LIVES, YOU KNOW?

ESPECIALLY TO THE PROCESS OF IT.

SO, FOR ME, IT WAS AS REAL AS CAN BE.

LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ASKING, YOU KNOW,

"HOW DO I FIND THE SBDC NEAR ME?"

AND, YOU KNOW, "HOW HOW DID YOU GET THE LOAN?"

AND STUFF LIKE THAT,

REALLY ASKING, "HOW DO I GET STARTED?"

OR "WHERE'S THE FIRST PLACE TO LOOK?" OR THINGS LIKE THAT.

THIS SHOW WAS ALMOST NOT MADE.

SEE, WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW

'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY KNOWING

IS BEFORE WE STARTED, I HAD AN OPERATION,

BECAUSE OF SOME CANCER,

IT WAS THE SIZE OF A DIME ON THE EPIGLOTTIS.

THEY'RE HOPING IT'S SMALLER

THAT'LL BE AN EXTRA LARGE CATHETER. TRUST ME.

[ LAUGHTER ]

WHEN THE SHOW CAME OUT, I KNOW I DIDN'T --

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY ELSE DID, EITHER --

KNEW THAT YOU WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL TO GET CHECKED OUT.

YOU KNOW, AT THE VERY, VERY BEGINNING OF THAT,

I HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I CAN'T STOP THROWING UP.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE CAN SEE ANYTHING

ON THE X-RAY, WHICH IS NICE.

AND, YOU KNOW, MY BLOOD PRESSURE'S BACK TO NORMAL.

MY FEVER'S GONE. SO, I HOPE I DODGED A BULLET.

I DIDN'T WANT TO MENTION ANY OF THAT ON THE SHOW.

I DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE A DISTRACTION.

I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY COULD START

A BUSINESS OR KIND OF REACH FOR THEIR DREAMS,

AND I DIDN'T WANT THE DISTRACTION TO BE MONEY,

AND I DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE HEALTH.

SO, IT WAS BRUTAL, YOU KNOW?

ESPECIALLY ALL THE TIME YOU PUT IN DURING RIB FEST.

YOU CARRIED YOUR OWN WEIGHT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING

NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAD GOING ON.

HEY, I'M GLENN. HOW YOU DOING?

YOU'RE THE NEW CLEANING GUY, RIGHT?

I AM. ALRIGHT, COME ON IN, THEN.

Glenn: I HAVEN'T PICKED UP A MOP IN PROBABLY 20 YEARS,

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BUT IT'S LIKE RIDING A BIKE, OKAY?

MAMA ALWAYS SAID YOU GOT TO START IN A CORNER.

I'M GONNA MAKE MAMA PROUD.

WHEN I GREW UP, NOTHING WAS HANDED TO ME, OKAY?

I MEAN, MY MOM WORKED AS A GROCERY CHECKER,

AND MY DAD WAS A PRINTER, OKAY?

I PAID FOR MY COLLEGE ON MY OWN, AND I WORKED MY WAY UP.

I DID NOT WANT TO GIVE A HANDOUT, RIGHT?

I WANTED TO GIVE A HAND UP. I WANTED PEOPLE TO FEEL

THEIR OWN SENSE OF PRIDE IN WHAT THEY DO.

I KNOW MY FRIENDS,

THEY GOT A LOT OUT OF WATCHING THE CUSH LIFE

JUST GO "VWOOM!" STRAIGHT DOWN TO REAL LIFE,

AND I DIDN'T FIND IT FUNNY AT ALL.

THIS LOOKS GOOD.

Man: GOD BLESS YOU.

HOW ARE YOU DOING? HEY, I'M FINE.

THANKS A LOT, BUD. HOW ARE YOU?

WANT A LITTLE MORE? YES, PLEASE.

I'VE GIVEN MY CAMERA CREW A COVER STORY

SINCE THEY NEED TO FOLLOW ME.

THEY'RE DOING A DOCUMENTARY ON GLENN BRYANT.

WHAT'S THIS DOCUMENTARY ABOUT?

GOING OUT AND LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM,

TRYING TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN AS A BUSINESS OWNER.

THE REAL TURNING POINT FOR ME WAS DAY THREE

WHEN I WENT TO THE SOUP KITCHEN.

THOSE FIRST THREE DAYS WERE JUST HUMBLING.

I GO IN FOR A HOT MEAL. THANK YOU, DEAR.

I COME OUT REALLY REALIZING THAT I'VE GOT MY LIFE SO GOOD,

AND I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY WE GOT IT SO GOOD.

SO MANY OF THESE PEOPLE HAD SOME REALLY ROUGH PATCHES

IN THEIR LIVES.

I STOPPED FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF, AND I REALIZED

THAT I HAD TO CREATE A NEW OPPORTUNITY.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED OF ME ALL THE TIME

IS "HOW DID YOU GET THESE GUYS ALL IN,

YOU KNOW, REALLY WITHOUT PAYING THEM?"

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON,

AND I WAS KIND OF FLYING BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS

AND ON FAITH AND GUT INSTINCT,

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN,

BUT I KNEW IF I DIDN'T HELP YOU --

LIKE, NOBODY HELPED ME, SO I WANTED TO HELP YOU.

TO LAUNCH UNDERDOG,

I NEEDED ALMOST $50,000,

AND THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THAT KIND OF FAST CASH

WAS TO FLIP A HOUSE.

BUT I ALMOST LOST ALL MY SEED MONEY AND DAWN IN THE PROCESS.

HOLY...

I MEAN, THIS HOUSE IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR READY

TO BE FLIPPED.

UM, I'M HOPING TO MEET THE DEADLINE,

BUT SOME OF THE TEAM HAS BEEN HERE TO HELP,

BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN FOR A FEW HOURS AT A TIME.

I'M TRYING TO SQUEEZE IN MY JOBS.

I WILL MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE HERE

THAT WE GET IT DONE.

ALRIGHT. 'CAUSE WE HAVE TO.

I -- OKAY.

MY FRIEND SAID TO ME EVERY TIME SHE WATCHED THE SHOW,

SHE WOULD KNOW WHEN I WAS FRUSTRATED

'CAUSE I WOULD MAKE THIS FACE, AND I'M LIKE,

"WHAT FACE ARE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT?"

AND I LEARNED WHAT THE FACE IS.

OH, I SAW THAT FACE A LOT.

LIKE, I FIX MY JAW, AND I'M LIKE...

I CAN'T EVEN DO IT. I KNOW THAT FACE.

YEAH, THE FACE.

AND THERE WAS A LOT OF NIGHTS THAT IT WAS JUST ME

AND MY DAUGHTER THERE ALONE, RIPPING THINGS DOWN.

I SAT IN THE BATHTUB AND CRIED.

I GOT A FLAMETHROWER IN THE CAR. WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT.

RIGHT. WE SHOULD'VE BURNED THAT THING DOWN

FOR THE INSURANCE MONEY.

I DIDN'T REALIZE, EVEN WHEN I GOT MYSELF INTO IT,

AND IT'S ONE OF MY BUSINESS PRINCIPLES, RIGHT?

SLOW DOWN AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND

WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOURSELF INTO, AND I DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME, AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.

IT WAS, BUT IT WAS REWARDING.

KNOWING THAT SOMEBODY BOUGHT IT

AND LIVES THERE AND LOVES IT,

I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING FOR ME.

R.J., YOU CAME THROUGH A FEW TIMES

DURING THOSE 90 DAYS,

YOU KIND OF TOOK ON THIS LIKE BY ROCK STAR OF THE GROUP,

YOU KNOW, WHERE I ALWAYS FELT LIKE YOU WERE THERE.

THE MOMENT THAT I KNEW YOU WERE THE REAL DEAL

WAS WHEN YOU LITERALLY SOLD THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK,

WE'RE SELLING SOME SWAG. ANYONE WANT ANYTHING?

CHEAP STUFF, NECKLACES.

YOU GUYS DRUNK ENOUGH? YOU WANT TO BUY SOME STUFF?

[ LAUGHTER ]

COME ON. LET'S GO FIND SOME PEOPLE.

THIS GUY, R.J., IS SO DEDICATED, HE'S SO FOCUSED,

THAT HE LITERALLY SOLD THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK.

I MEAN, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

LOOK AT THIS. WE STARTED WITH 40 BUCKS.

THAT'S NOT BAD.

I'D SAY THAT'S A PRETTY SUCCESSFUL NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, AND I WENT, "MAN, THIS GUY

IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING," YOU KNOW?

I WAS JUST LIKE TAKING MY CLOTHES OFF.

THAT GOT ME RIGHT THEN.

I FELL ASLEEP IN THE SMOKER.

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU KNOW, I MEAN, YOU WERE PAST EXHAUSTION

BECAUSE, I MEAN, HOW MANY 4:00 A.M. NIGHTS --

-CONSTANTLY. -YEAH.

YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB ON THAT.

I WAS BOBBING WHILE I WAS WELDING.

SO, LIKE, THERE'S GOOD WELD,

AND THEN IT'S JUST LIKE...

YOU KNOW, WHEN I WATCH A LOT OF THESE SHOWS,

I THINK A LOT OF IT'S SET UP

WHERE, "HERE THEY COME AROUND THE CORNER," YOU KNOW,

AND ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS, RIGHT?

I MEAN, WE'RE AT RIB FEST

AND GOING, YOU KNOW, "WHAT'S GOING ON?"

THE PANIC THAT I FELT AT RIB FEST WHEN

WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SMOKER, THAT WAS AS REAL AS IT GETS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THE FREAKING SMOKER YET!

LIKE THE SMOKER IS A BIG DEAL.

IF IT'S NOT HERE, I CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING.

WHEN CHRIS TROTT APPEARED AROUND THAT CORNER...

Christine: OH, MY GOD! IT DOES EXIST!

Glenn: ...WE WERE DOWN TO THE WIRE.

I MEAN, HE REALLY, TRULY, SAVED THE DAY.

IS IT NAP TIME YET?

WHAT DO YOU THINK, CHRIS, WAS KIND OF YOUR BIGGEST SHOCK

OF THE WHOLE SHOW?

AT THE END, WHEN I KNEW EVERYTHING,

AND I THOUGHT I KNEW EVERYTHING,

AND YOU PULLED THAT FLIPPING TUBE OUT.

"BUT WAIT -- THERE'S MORE."

YEAH.

PEOPLE DIDN'T REALIZE, YOU KNOW, I WAS EATING

OUT OF A FEEDING TUBE. WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT ON THE SHOW.

WE WERE ALMOST FINISHED SHOOTING.

I JUST TOLD THE UNDERDOGS ABOUT OUR EVALUATION,

FIND GREAT PEOPLE, AND YOU TRY AS HARD AS YOU CAN.

YOU DON'T CUT CORNERS, AND YOU NEVER MAKE EXCUSES.

SO, WITH THAT, I'M A LITTLE HUNGRY

BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I EAT.

YOU GUYS MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT.

SO, I WON'T MAKE EXCUSES. I'M A LITTLE HUNGRY.

SO, NOBODY KNEW IT.

AND THAT'S WHERE I WOULD GO EVERY DAY.

SO, ANYWAY, MY POINT IS, DON'T MAKE EXCUSES IN LIFE

BECAUSE ALL IT DOES IS MAKE FAILURE.

NOBODY NEEDS TO MAKE EXCUSES, AND NONE OF YOU DID,

AND WE'RE ALL BETTER OFF FOR IT.

Sanders: HOW THE HELL DID YOU DRINK BEER?

I CAN EAT A LITTLE.

"I'M GOING TO MAKE A CALL."

YEAH, GO MAKE A CALL.

AGAIN, I DIDN'T WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT.

WERE YOU SITTING THERE GOING, "THIS IS NOT MAKING SENSE."

WHERE WE WERE AT YOUR APARTMENT, MAKING THE BEER

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THESE THESE MICROPHONES

UNDERNEATH OUR SHIRTS, AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

ONE OF THOSE THOSE CABLES WILL KIND OF KINK UP,

AND I WENT TO JUST BRUSH IT DOWN

THINKING THAT THE CABLE WOULD FLATTEN OUT

AND IT WOULD BE NO BIG DEAL, AND YOU REFLECT SO HARD.

AND I WENT, "OH, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON.

IS THIS GUY THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING,

LIKE, HE'S DEALING WITH SOMETHING ELSE?"

AND I GOT REALLY CONCERNED.

IT'S FUNNY TO WATCH HOW EVERYTHING'S PUT TOGETHER

AND THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH TIME, BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE SHOW THAT PEOPLE MISSED.

YES. SPEAKING ABOUT MAKING BEER,

BECAUSE YOU WERE THE HEAD OF BEER,

WE GOT A LITTLE CLIP TO SHOW.

I'LL TELL YOU -- A BUSINESS THAT'S REALLY TAKEN OFF

HERE IN ERIE IS THE CRAFT-BEER BUSINESS.

MY FIRST IDEA IN ERIE WAS TO OPEN UP A BREWERY

SERVING A BEER WE CREATED OURSELVES.

WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE BEER.

THIS BEER COULD END UP BEING THE VERY FIRST DROP

IN A VERY LARGE OCEAN OF BEER.

YOU GOT IT? YEP.

WE'VE GOT ALL THE EQUIPMENT,

WE WENT AND GOT ALL THE WHEAT AND YEAST,

AND NOW WE'VE GOT REAL BEER.

AND THE NEXT STEP IS TO BOTTLE THE BEER.

JUST LIKE THAT.

GREAT JOB.

HEY. CHEERS.

HEY, MAN, TO HARD WORK.

[ LAUGHTER ]

IT'S HORRIBLE. [ LAUGHS ]

IT'S LIKE CAT... IN MY MOUTH.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I DON'T THINK THAT CAT... IS PROBABLY SCALABLE.

[ Laughing ] THERE'S LITTLE HOLE IN THE MARKET.

"THIS BEER TASTES LIKE CAT..."

I'M GLAD MATT AND I TRIED IT OUT FIRST

BEFORE UNLEASHING IT ON AN UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC.

IT WAS...PRETTY BAD.

I REMEMBER A LITTLE NOTE OF GRAPEFRUIT,

BUT NO BEER WHATSOEVER. [ LAUGHS ]

I MEAN, LISTEN -- BUILDING A BUSINESS IN 90 DAYS,

YOU KNOW, CAN BE DIFFICULT, BUT IT ALSO CAN BE PRETTY FUN.

I ALWAYS SAY IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING,

YOU'RE DYING. THAT'S TRUE FOR UNDERDOG, TOO.

I HAVE A PLAN TO GROW IT,

BUT I'LL NEED THE WHOLE TEAM ON BOARD.

NO ONE WORKED HARDER THAN CHRIS TROTT.

HE ALMOST DIDN'T SURVIVE THE FINAL DAYS

LEADING UP TO RIB FEST.

THERE WAS A POINT THERE WHERE I THOUGHT

HE MIGHT HAVE GONE OFF THE RAILS

I CLOSE THE DOOR AND LOCKED THE OTHER ONE,

AND I JUST "PSHH!"

WE SENT MATT DOWN TO CHECK ON YOU,

AND WAS HE GONE, OR WHAT HAPPENED?

NO, HE WOULDN'T LET ANYONE IN.

¶¶

-OTHER DOOR. -THERE WAS A LITTLE TINY HOLE

ON HIS GARAGE DOOR WHEN HE FOUND SOME ELECTRICAL TAPE

AND PUT IT OVER THAT SO THAT A CAMERA COULDN'T SEE THROUGH.

[ EXHALES DEEPLY ] THAT WAS ROUGH.

BUT IT WAS HORRIBLE.

¶¶

TO CELEBRATE UNDERDOG'S ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY,

I'VE CALLED IN THE WHOLE GANG.

I HAVE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

THAT WILL TAKE THE UNDERDOG STORY BEYOND ERIE

AND A SURPRISE THAT I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE ABOUT.

THERE WAS SO MUCH THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE SHOW.

I REMEMBER I THINK I CUSSED ONE TIME.

AND YOU GUYS WENT, "OH, MY GOD. HE CUSSED."

I WANT TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A BLOOPER REEL,

AND WE CAN MAYBE TOUCH ON THAT REAL QUICK.

[ ENGINE SPUTTERING ]

[ ENGINE STARTS ]

TRUCK IS A PIECE OF...

[ LAUGHS ]

BEHIND THE SCENES, I WAS FACING MY BIGGEST NEMESIS OF ALL

AND '96 CHEVROLET SILVERADO NAMED OLD BETSY.

EVERY NOW AND THEN, IT TRIED TO KICK ME OUT OF THE TRUCK.

[ ENGINE SQUEALING ]

I DON'T WANT TO BE SINGING "LA, LA, LA,

I'M A LOSER! I'M A LOSER!"

"HI, EVERYBODY! I'M IN A FRICKING PIECE OF...TRUCK!

WHY DON'T YOU SELL ME A HOUSE?" [ LAUGHTER ]

YOU MOVE THE TRUCK. I'M NOT.

YOU LIKE THAT FOR BEING A...?

WE'RE OUT OF GAS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? YES.

¶¶

[ LAUGHTER ]

OH, MY GOD.

I SPENT 90 DAYS BUILDING UP A CACHE OF SEED MONEY,

CONVINCING PEOPLE TO WORK FOR ME FOR FREE.

I MEAN, IT'S FINALLY REALLY HAPPENING.

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I CAN SEE 16 PEOPLE HERE BELLYING UP TO THE BAR,

THAT'S FOR SURE.

ALTHOUGH WE'RE ON A TIGHT BUDGET,

DAWN HAS COME THROUGH WITH SOME GREAT IDEAS

THAT REALLY CAPTURE THE UNDERDOG ESTHETIC AND BRAND.

Van Scoter: IT REALLY DID TURN OUT

EXACTLY HOW I HAD IT PICTURED IN MY HEAD.

IT'S TIME FOR THE MOMENT OF TRUTH --

HOW MUCH IS IT ACTUALLY WORTH?

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE MARKET IS POTENTIAL

IN TERMS OF FRANCHISES? YEAH.

I SEE THIS GOING FROM COAST TO COAST.

IT'S GOT SO MUCH POTENTIAL, BUT WE HAVE

A PRETTY SMALL SAMPLE OF ACTUAL OPERATING RESULTS.

YOU KNOW, JUST PUTTING SOME KIND OF A MULTIPLE ON THE SALES,

THE RANGE ON THAT'S PROBABLY BETWEEN

HALF A MILLION AND A MILLION.

SO, IF I KIND OF GO IN THE MIDDLE THERE...

$750,000.

¶¶

LET'S FACE IT -- I MEAN, THIS WASN'T REALLY

JUST ABOUT BUILDING A BUSINESS IN THE AREA.

I MEAN, IT WAS REALLY ABOUT BUILDING AND RISING ERIE UP.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ERIE'S BEEN LIKE,

I MEAN, SINCE THE SHOW?

DO YOU THINK IT HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT?

EASILY.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN ONE TIME THAT I'VE COME IN,

'CAUSE I TALK TO YOU TWO EVERY TIME I COME IN,

THAT THERE WASN'T SOMEONE HERE FROM OUT OF TOWN

THAT MADE A TRIP HERE FOR THIS RESTAURANT.

OH, THAT'S AWESOME.

Glenn: I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE.

FOR THE LAST YEAR, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH RESTAURANT INSIDERS

TO EVALUATE WHETHER UNDERDOG IS READY FOR EXPANSION.

THE SMARTEST PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY

HAVE BEEN TELLING ME THAT EVERY CITY NEEDS TO HAVE

THEIR VERY OWN UNDERDOG.

LOCAL BARBECUE, AND ROTATING SELECTION OF CRAFT BEERS,

A TAILOR-MADE EXPERIENCE UNIQUE TO EACH COMMUNITY --

THIS IS MY MILLION-DOLLAR IDEA.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.

I'M PROUD OF WHAT WE DID, YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, BUT MY GOAL FOR UNDERDOG...

REALLY IS THE FRANCHISE?

OH, NO. OH, NO.

UNDERDOG IS GOING NATIONAL --

CLEVELAND, BUFFALO, BALTIMORE, PHILADELPHIA --

THE LIST GOES ON.

EVERY ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED BUILD UNDERDOG

WILL BE ON THE GROUND FLOOR

OF A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR ENTERPRISE.

I PLAN ON STICKING AROUND THROUGH THE SUMMER

AND TO PUT A LOT OF TIME INTO UNDERDOG.

IT'S THE BEST IDEA YOU'VE HAD IN ABOUT 12 MONTHS.

BEST IDEA IN ABOUT 12 MONTHS. THAT'S RIGHT.

Messenger: THE UNDERDOG BECOMING A FRANCHISE,

IT'S GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE TO WATCH.

IT'S GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE TO BE A PART OF,

AND I'M EXCITED.

I MEAN, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.

THIS IS STILL JUST THE BEGINNING.

SO, I CAN COUNT ON YOU GUYS TO HELP?

HORRIBLE DéJà VU, BUT, YES. [ LAUGHS ]

ALRIGHT, ARE WE IN?

WELL, YEAH. ALRIGHT.

HANDS IN THE MIDDLE WE'RE IN?

ALRIGHT, 1, 2, 3, UNDERDOG?

1...2...3...

[ ALL SHOUT "UNDERDOG" ]

Collins: I DIDN'T WANT TO HIT YOU, CHRIS, THAT'S WHY I WAS REACHING OVER.

Glenn: MY EXPERIENCE IN ERIE

CHANGED ME IN WAYS I NEVER EXPECTED.

I GOT OUT OF MY OWN COMFORT ZONE.

I HIT ROCK BOTTOM.

I PARTNERED WITH THE HARDEST- WORKING PEOPLE I KNOW,

BUILT SOMETHING BIGGER THAN ALL OF US.

[ ALL SHOUT "UNDERDOG" ]

I CAME BACK TO ERIE TO SEE HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED.

WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT TO FIND

WAS HOW MUCH THEY'RE STILL LEFT TO DO HERE.

ERIE AND I ARE NOT DONE WITH EACH OTHER YET.
