Dre: My son. My namesake.

My God, he bums me out.

Junior had decided to take
a gap year for himself,

and I had agreed to respect
his choice.

[ Sour guitar chords play ]

The problem was, he wasn't
giving me much to respect.

Welcome back
to the podcast.

Today's guest, Jack,
has canceled.

That's it!

I'm taking you to work!

And get rid
of that damn rabbit!

Ready for my first day
at Dad's office!

Aah, look at you going
to work!

-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.

Finally ready to do something
with that gap year.

Aw, come on.

Hey, I've done things,
okay?

My podcast
has two subscribers.

Only one.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I-I unsubscribed.

All right.
Come on. Let's go, son.

You can see a strong, black man
handle his business.

I didn't realize you worked
with Terry Crews.

[ Junior and Rainbow laugh ]

That was good, sweetie!

I'm just messing with you,
big guy. No, it wasn't.

-It was good.
-I'll be in the car.

Yeah. Okay.
[ Cellphone chimes ]

He's killing me, Bow.

Hmm.

[ Gasps ]

Oh, no.
What?

Erica just quit.

Who?

Black Nanny Two, Dre.

This couldn't come
at a worse time.

I have four surgeries
today.

How are we gonna
find somebody?

Hey, don't worry about it,
baby.

I'll make some calls.

Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

Mama?!
Ruby: Yeah?

You want to be
Devante's nanny? Okay.

If my baby needs a nanny
for his baby, I'll do it.

That's great.
That's great.

Come on, now.
I'm serious.

I'll nanny that baby.

-See?
-Really, Ruby?

Mm-hmm.
Huh.

Are you bonded?
Uh, no.

Do you have
your class C driver's license?

Suspended.

CPR certificate?

Well, she has been known
to choke people.

What are
your qualifications?

Andre, did you die
when you were a baby?

Not that I know of.

Qualified.

Mm-hmm.
Come on now.

I love that little man.

Yeah.
Come on, baby.

[ Chuckles ]
How could you say no to that?

Very easily.
No!

What?

But I am desperate,
so...

yes, we can try it.

That's fine.
Oh, that's wonderful.

That's good.

Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna need three weeks off
at Christmas.

Yeah?

Hey, hey.
You know where I go.

[ Indistinct conversation,
laughter ]

Stevens:
What's wrong, Dre?

Oh. Did you accidentally
wipe some Hot Cheetos dust

on your fancy sweater?

No.
You know, Junior's gonna be

interning here
a few days a week,

and I'm trying to teach him
some responsibility,

but I'm worried
he's a lost cause.

-Hmm.
-Well...

Hey, guys.

Thanks
for the opportunity.

-Just interning?
-Mm-hmm.

That's good to know.

I thought he was here
to take my place

as your wingman
and confidant.

[ Chuckles ]

Or to take my job.

[ Whispering ] Is that
what you're here to do?

[ Louder ] Is it?

'Cause if it is,
you got to tell me.

You also got to tell me
where you got that sweater

because it's fire.

[ Chuckles nervously ]
My -- My mom bought it for me.

Your mom's fire, too.

Well, young man, you have chosen
a great time to be here

because your dad just hit it
out of the park

with the Google campaign.

-Yes! Grr!
-Ah, yeah.

You hear that? They put
some respect on your dad's name.

And we're going to need
another home run

with our new client,
Hometown Market.

They -- They're --
They're trying to take

their comfort food
from the suburbs

to the urban space.

So black people.

Uh, or gentrifying
whites.

Connor's right.
It's -- It's the blacks.

And, uh, some Hispanics.

You know,
people who ride the bus.

[ Sighs ]
Okay, guys.

We're getting off track,
all right?

Maybe we should look
at this Hometown Market Menu.

Maybe that will give us
some ideas.

These names
are kind of bland.

"Tuna melt"?

"Turkey pot pie"?

Maybe we can give these dishes
new urban names.

Ah.
Like Charlie.

[ Chuckles ]
Charlie's an urban name.

Ooh, these Charlies
look delicious.

Don't put no hot sauce
on my Charlies.

Why don't we name them
after something

that black people like,
like rappers?

Okay, we like a lot more
than just rappers.

Yeah, of course you do.
But how about this?

The Run DM Seafood Tower.

Or -- Or the Kanye Western
Omelet.

-Ooh, I got one.
-Nice.

The Notorious BLT.

[ Laughter ]

Sorry, the --
the Cardi BLT.

Oh, oh, oh!
I got a good slogan.

"Hometown Market:
get in here, Boo."

Why don't we just move on
for now, okay?

And, you know, I'll look
at all these things

on my own
a little later.

That is why
you are a star, Dre.

All right.

Well, I'm gonna go play
some golf.

Oh, very good.
Very good.

Hey.
Hey.

Mommy's home just in time
for snack.

What's it gonna be,
huh?

Avocado?

I think
he's still full.

He had a cupcake
at the park.

You bought him
a cupcake?

No. A handsome man
enjoying cupcakes on a bench

gave us one.

Ha, he gave 'em
to all the children.

A stranger was handing out
cupcakes at a park,

and he gave one
to my baby?

You forgot "handsome."

[ Laughs ]

I don't take cupcakes
from uggos.

I wasn't worried
about his hotness.

Ruby?

Hmm?

You need to read
Devante's bible

and get familiar
with the rules. Mm-hmm.

First off, don't take things
from strangers.

And other headlines --

no screens

and no choking hazards
like hot dogs and grapes.

Or --
Oh, come on, Rainbow.

Babies love grapes.

I used to tie a bag of grapes
around Dre's neck

so he could snack and play.

So he could choke
hands-free.

[ Chuckles ]
Okay.

[ Singsong voice ]
Let's go with Mommy.

[ Grunts ]

[ Normal voice ]
Read my bible.

I'll read your bible right away,
Rainbow.

Thank you.
See you later, Devante.

See you later,
reckless grandma.

Bye.

Diane: What are you doing
in my room?

And give me one good reason
not to snap your neck right now.

You know what?
Don't.

I'm in the mood
to snap necks.

I'm trying to crack
the parental-control code

on this TV

so I can watch
the horror movie "Unfriended."

You can't crack that code.

You're not good
at numbers.

Keep doubting me.
You'll see.

Come on.
Move.

0-0-0-8.

[ Beeps ]
Dang it.

0-0-0-9.

[ Beeps ]
Dang it.

0-0-0-10.

[ Beeps ]
It -- It won't fit.

How are we
in the same grade? [ Beeps ]

Good first day,
huh?

Got to see your old man
in action,

handling business.

Yeah.

Do your co-workers always talk
like that?

Hmm?
Their ideas were pretty offensive.

It's a creative business, son,
you know.

People need to get
their juices flowing,

but I keep a check
on their worst instincts

to make sure
none of that bad stuff

gets in the work.

Hmm.

Seems like they said
a bunch of racist things,

and you just let it slide.

Hey! Hey, hey, son.

I don't let anything slide,
all right?

They know when I sigh,
they better tighten up.

Oh, yeah.

I hear loud sighing
is what ended slavery!

And we all remember
the sigh on Washington.

Okay, what the [bleep]
Huh?

If you weren't so busy
judging me,

you would have noticed
that I was the one

steering the conversation
in there

to make sure that we had
the best product

that we could all
be proud of.

All I know is, at home,
you call out racism

and tell us
we need to always take a stand,

but I guess it's different
for a strong black man at work.

I'ma go wait in the car,
Boo.

Actually, I'm gonna need
the key fob.

How's my strong black mens?
[ Laughs ]

Why don't you ask him?

[ Refrigerator door opens ]

What's he talking about?

Oh, I made a mistake.

Oh?
He's not ready for the real world.

Oh, my God. Wait.
Did -- Did he have tree nuts?

He accused me
of being a sellout, Bow.

Oh.
He crossed the line.

Okay.
I always take a stand.

I-I donate
to Black Lives Matter.

I don't shop at H&M.

And I didn't go back
to Chick-fil-A after a week

like some people.

[ Quietly ]
It's really good.

He spent one day
in my office,

and he thinks
he knows everything.

Bow, I fight racism
every day!

I know.
When I first got to Stevens & Lido,

it was like Boston
in the '70s.

Now because of me,
it's like Boston in the '90s.

[ Normal voice ] Sounds like
he really got to you.

No.
Not at all.

Okay.
But I will tell you this.

Hmm?
He's not coming back to my office.

As a matter of fact,
I'm removing him

from the family Christmas photo,
so...

Yes, he, uh --
he did get to me.

Aww.
Look, Dre.

If you don't think
he got the full picture,

then why don't you have him
go back to work

so he can see
the final result?

Maybe you're right.
Yeah.

He only got to see me
steering the car,

not drive it
across the finish line.

Yeah, there you go.

And I'ma take
that checkered flag,

and I'm gonna shove it

Aww, buddy.

You're never going to be able
to crack that code.

Come on.

I'll put on "Nemo"

That'd be great.
Mm-hmm.

If I hadn't cracked it.

Wait, what?

How'd you figure out
the code Dad used?

Hey, good morning,
everyone. Good morning.

Was a hot start yesterday
with Hometown Market,

so let's just
jump back in.

How about N.W.A-1 Burger?

[ Chuckling ]

Bullseye, Dad.

Okay, guys.

Uh, I think this rapper thing
is kind of...corny.

Ooh, okay.

All right. Well, we do not want
to come off as out of touch,

so thank you, Dre.

Oh. Okay.

Okay, so Josh and I were
talking earlier in the kitchen

about how a character
or a spokesperson

might appeal
to the urban consumer.

Right, like Joe Camel.

Ooh. Listening.

But it is a restaurant,

so, obviously,
it has to be a woman.

Right.

But not a regular woman.

A fun one.

But no nonsense.

Okay. You mean a woman
that's, uh, independent.

Intelligent.
Charismatic.

Exactly!

Okay.
Sassy.

It's a sassy black woman!

"Heeey!" You know.

Okay, guys.

Trust me.

We do not want a caricature
of a black woman.

No, no, Dre. Look.

What I mean is, like,

the sassy Pine-Sol woman
or, um, sassy Annie, huh?

From the Popeyes chicken
commercials?

Okay, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.

All right?
Those are always the go-to.

Plus those images are
already out there.

Come on, guys. Can't --
Can't we find something fresher

for Hometown Market?

Look, Dre, these spokespeople
are huge successes.

We need something like that,

like a Mama Somebody
or like a Sister Whatever.

Sister...

Auntie! Auntie.

I saw that once
in a movie.

Auntie. That is great.
I love it.

No!
It's -- It's not great.

It's, uh --
It's irresponsible.

Do you think
that's the only way

that black people want
to see themselves?

Huh? Do you think
that's who we are?

Dre, people are gonna
love her.

I don't love her!

And I find it offensive.

All right, Dre.

All right.
I hear you.

Why don't we just take
a few minutes?

We'll regroup,
and we will...

figure out a new course,
okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'm just gonna call home
real quick,

and then I'll scrub in.

Devante? Devante?

Hey, sweetie.

[ Devante coos ]
Hi.

Wait. Why --

Why do you have
the phone?

Where's --
Where's Grandma?

Are you by yourself,
sweetheart?

Devante?
What's happening?

[ Phone falls ]
Mo-- Oh, okay! Mom, can you -- oh, my God.

Okay.
Um, I'm coming! Mommy's coming!

Mommy's coming!

Oh, God.
Oh, my God.

Ruby,
where were you?

I had to leave
a surgery.

What -- Why is he
in the baby cage,

and why does he have
a phone?

Oh,
I thought it would be okay

since he had
so much free time...

Wha--
...to explore in the ball pit at IKEA.

Oh, my God.

In the ball pit?!

They put numbers on the kids
so you don't lose them,

and I even fed him
a Swedish meatball

through the ball-pit net.

[ Chuckles ]
He loved it.

Okay. So you didn't follow
any of my rules?

Rainbow.

All those rules are the reasons
you can't keep a nanny.

Now, they'd complain to me,
and I defended you!

But now I get it.

[ Chuckles ]

Also,
I never defended you.

Yeah, okay.

I -- I tried
for like two whole, long days,

but you cannot be
Devante's nanny.

But I love watching him.

Yes, well, you should have
thought of that

before you gave him a meatball
through a net.

[ Inhales sharply,
sighs ]

Yeah.

It's best
we...part ways.

[ Exhales forcefully ]

Dad,
that was amazing!

Mm-hmm.
The looks on their faces.

You spoke truth
to power!

You know what, son?

I'm glad you were there
to witness it.

Yeah,
my dad is Kaepernick.

Ah, well, you know, son,
I just do what I can.

-Hey, Dre.
-[ Chuckles ] Oh.

Junior.
Ah, listen, we were chatting,

and we actually like
the direction we're headed,

so I decided that we're gonna
keep moving

on the campaign
without you,

so take the rest
of the day,

and I'll see you tomorrow.

At least you don't have
to do it.

That's good news, right?

No, it's not.

They're icing me out,
son.

I am Kaepernick.

I can't believe
they iced me out.

It's just one account,
Dad.

Yeah, that they don't want
my opinion on, son.

You know, when -- when that
happens on projects,

you know, it snowballs
to the next and the next

and then I'll be doing
radio ads for walk-in tubs,

and they're not
the classy ones.

The plastic ones
that you add to existing tubs.

There's got to be something
you can do.

I might have to quit my job,
son.

No.

You know, son,
when...

when you make a stand,
there are consequences.

Sure, black people
are proud

when they see a photo
of John Carlos and Tommie Smith

raising their fists
at the '68 Olympics,

but that protest
got them death threats.

Muhammad Ali -- he stood tall
against Vietnam,

and that got him arrested,
and they took his titles.

I wanted you
to take a stand,

but I didn't think
about the consequences.

This is all my fault.

Kinda.

I'm just joking,
son.

Come on, now.

It's not your fault
at all.

I have to always think
about consequences.

If I take a stand,
does that mean I have

to pull you guys
out of private school

or lose our house?

Damn.

Look, son. What I'm saying
is that when you protest,

it's not something
that comes easy,

and I want you
to appreciate that

the way that I appreciate you
helping me see

that now is the time for me
to do this.

So thank you, son.

I'm actually prouder of you now
than I was 20 minutes ago.
