00:17Where were we?
00:21Hey, what's up, sis?
00:23Oh, right.
00:24I'm back.
00:25Cam Gordon, oldest brother, former president of the LA Waves.
00:28He gave me this job, and I love him.
00:30But his junkie ass is supposed to be in rehab.
00:33What the actual hell?
00:35Cam.
00:36Oh, my God.
00:37Oh.
00:38Hi.
00:39Oh.
00:40Oh, I miss hugs.
00:42My parole officers were never this good.
00:44I watched a game last night.
00:46We almost had them, but tough loss.
00:50Thanks.
00:51Yeah, I'm still in shock.
00:55So, when you say back, you mean back, like, as in a limited time, like the McRib, or back, like,
01:03for your job?
01:04Oh, God.
01:05No, no, no, no, no.
01:06You are the president of the Waves.
01:08Me?
01:08I'm just a guy who just got out of rehab.
01:11But now that you mention it, I would like to come back into work just a little bit, you know,
01:15just to help out.
01:16Oh, well, what do I need help with?
01:18I can consult if you have any questions, or maybe give me a little bit of an office.
01:23I can do the Oscar pool.
01:24Oh, come on, Cam.
01:26You know Sandy runs the Oscar pool.
01:28Oh, right.
01:28You're really not gunning for your old job back?
01:30Oh, my God.
01:31No.
01:32Besides, you're doing such a great job.
01:34And the board would never even approve me at this point.
01:36Not with my rap sheet.
01:38Oh, sorry.
01:39Old habits die hard.
01:40And you're okay working under me?
01:43Yes.
01:43Look, I'm a different person now.
01:45I listen.
01:46Lizzie told me something about the kids the other day, and I heard it.
01:50I really heard it.
01:50Apparently, we got a bed wetter.
01:54Just checking to see if you needed anything.
01:57Jason.
01:57Jackie.
01:58Jackie.
01:59I want to apologize for getting off on the wrong foot.
02:01I've had eight months, and I've really learned a lot.
02:04I want to get to know you better.
02:05Thank you, Cam.
02:06Okay, no problem.
02:07Oh, and if you're going on a coffee run, I would love a caramel macchiato.
02:11Oh, my God.
02:12Oh, there he is.
02:13My man.
02:16I thought the court said you had to do a full year.
02:18No, the rehab wrote the judge a letter.
02:20And they let me out earlier.
02:22Well, I'm proud of you, man.
02:23Oh, thanks.
02:23I can't believe this is the same guy that Patu and Cock going through her purse looking for
02:26opioids.
02:28That was a wild man.
02:30Now you can be in book club.
02:31I know before you said book clubs were for pussies, but now I know you were just high.
02:35Right.
02:35No, I would love to be a part of the book club.
02:38Yeah, come on by.
02:38Hey, so what's going on?
02:40Are you, are you back, back?
02:43Well, that's up to Isla.
02:46What do you say?
02:51We'd be lucky to have you back.
02:53Yes!
02:54Yes!
02:54Yes!
02:55We should celebrate.
02:56Champagne!
02:56Well, I don't think that'd be such a great idea.
02:59No, no champagne.
03:00Let's go get a Coke.
03:01Hey, I need a new office, don't I?
03:05So I guess Cam's back.
03:08You better watch out if you want to survive.
03:12Listen to me, or just step aside.
03:32I didn't take you for sentimental.
03:34Oh my God, Jay, I thought you were already in Boston.
03:40Yeah, I leave tonight.
03:41I, I just, I just needed to do one more thing.
03:58I put flaxseed in your smoothie.
04:02What?
04:03The Mayo Clinic recommends one scoop a day.
04:06Help support healthy elimination.
04:09Whoa, have you been sleeping this whole time?
04:12You were smiling and nodding.
04:13Good morning.
04:14Good morning.
04:15I made you this.
04:16Oh.
04:16It's got all your daily nutrients,
04:17so the rest of the day you can just have
04:19Diet Coke and Skittles.
04:21But when we get married, this has got to stop.
04:23I don't want to be a widower in my 40s.
04:25Please, women will be lining up.
04:27You're going to be remarried before they're finished
04:28with my autopsy.
04:30All right, I gotta go.
04:32Damn, that's the fifth fantasy I've had about Jay this week.
04:37Ever since Jay and I kissed at the playoffs,
04:39I've been having nonstop sex dreams about him.
04:41I'm talking at work.
04:43Like, all over work.
04:44Even on planet Arrakis.
04:46I think I fell asleep watching Dune.
04:49I don't know how, but I need them to stop
04:51because Love and I are back together
04:52and have never been better.
04:54And we actually set a date.
04:56That's right.
04:57Your girl is getting married in just eight short weeks
05:00to the man of her dreams.
05:02Well, most of my dreams.
05:09And work has been surprisingly great with Kanback.
05:13He's been really helpful and supportive.
05:15The team has been crushing their off-season workouts.
05:19They're still pissed about how last season ended,
05:21which is good because this year,
05:23I plan on winning it all.
05:25If you want a legacy in this league,
05:27you can't be a one-hit wonder.
05:29Dad would be so proud that his five children
05:31that we know of are working under one roof.
05:35We still need a coach, but I am on top of it.
05:38Sure, it's been a few months
05:39and none of the candidates have blown me away yet,
05:42but I know I'll find the right guy.
05:44It's just taking me a minute to...
05:46I think I found our guy, Danny Pierce.
05:48Coach from Oklahoma?
05:49Oh, he's tied up at OU.
05:51Yeah, I bumped into him in Malibu.
05:53We ended up going to the Soho Beach House.
05:54I think he's up here visiting his aunt
05:55who's like Jamie Lee Curtis or some shit.
05:58I love Freaky Friday.
05:59They should make more body swap movies.
06:01I'm always saying that.
06:02They make plenty.
06:04There's my guy.
06:05Yeah, I know.
06:06I got the feeling that if we made him an offer,
06:07he'd be interested.
06:10Well, we should interview him.
06:12Totally.
06:12Of course, he'd be interviewing us as well.
06:14Excuse me?
06:15No, no, no, I get that.
06:16I mean, this guy is a god at OU.
06:18He can park his golf cart wherever he wants.
06:20Why would he ever leave?
06:21Uh, maybe to coach the most famous
06:22professional basketball team in the world?
06:23Yeah.
06:24Run by a very savvy and innovative leader.
06:27Oh!
06:28These are bad chairs.
06:30Well, of course, it's up to you,
06:31but I think we should ask him to sit with us.
06:34I agree.
06:35All right.
06:36Uh, Jackie, set up a meeting.
06:38Oh, no need to do that.
06:39I just got off the phone with him.
06:41I told him to come around here this afternoon.
06:43You know, just faster that way.
06:44Boom.
06:45Great.
06:46Why is there a framed photo of some random child here?
06:49That is my son, Milton.
06:51Isla gave Cam my office,
06:53so now this conference room has become my workstation.
06:55Oh, you know what?
06:56Maybe if I go to rehab,
06:57Isla will give me Sandy's office.
06:58Oh, boo-hoo-hoo.
06:59It's not exactly paradise over in your office.
07:01It's like fucking anthropology.
07:03Okay.
07:03Well, then give it back, bitch.
07:04Who the fuck are you calling bitch, bitch?
07:05Hey, nobody says bitch here
07:07unless it's in a fun and sassy gay way.
07:10Right, Sandy?
07:11I wish I was sassy,
07:12but I'm not that type of gay.
07:15Isla, you know how many years it took me
07:17to earn my office?
07:18Your dad gave it to me on his deathbed.
07:20He was on so much tramadol.
07:21He was nice for once.
07:22Okay, I promise I'm going to find you an office.
07:27It's come to my attention
07:29that none of y'all
07:30ain't bought a table for the complexion ball.
07:33What is the complexion ball again?
07:35How many times do you have to tell you
07:36it's for his wife Denor's charity
07:38to eradicate cystic acne?
07:40Damn, Travis, that's exactly right.
07:43Key to staying sharp,
07:44sober living,
07:45and app-based brain games.
07:47Today's word, though, tough.
07:49Dude, they're always tough, Benson.
07:51Your table buying is $10,000,
07:53and you're all getting one.
07:56Yo, Marcus, I'm sorry,
07:57but I can't make the pimple party, man.
07:59My, uh, grandma needs help setting a pride pad.
08:02Don't lie to me.
08:03Look, you don't have to buy a table,
08:05but you all come in
08:05and you all walk in a rosacea carpet.
08:07All right, fine.
08:08And don't be wearing that busted-ass corduroy suit.
08:10You're looking like a Jehovah Witness.
08:12I am a Jehovah's Witness.
08:14God damn it.
08:16We going shopping.
08:19All right, look.
08:21Obviously, when I take over,
08:22I'm going to need to make my adjustments.
08:24It's all about maximizing
08:25everyone's player efficiency rating
08:26and our EFG.
08:27That's right.
08:28Yeah, that's expected field goal percentage.
08:30Oh, God, you have hot tuna breath.
08:32And we definitely got to lose
08:33the zone defense.
08:35Man-to-man, all the time.
08:36My teams do not rest.
08:38Oh, I love that.
08:38Fuck yeah.
08:39That's what I'm talking about.
08:40I like that in theory,
08:41but we really try to keep Marcus's
08:43wear and tear down in the regular season.
08:45But we also like that you're coming in here
08:47with all these ideas, Danny.
08:48Oh, thanks.
08:48Listen, when you hire me,
08:50you don't just get the coach.
08:51You also get the president and the GM.
08:53Boo, boo, boo.
08:54I can wear a lot of hats,
08:55is what I'm saying.
08:56Not that you should
08:57with that head of lettuce.
08:58Oh, okay.
08:59All right, listen,
09:00I got to get going.
09:00I'm doing this, uh,
09:01photo shoot for Men's Health.
09:02I guess it's the abs issue.
09:04Oh, shit.
09:04I'll walk you out.
09:05Thank you so much.
09:06I'm actually going to come with you
09:07because I want to get your thoughts
09:08on oblique training.
09:11Well, I like him.
09:12And I guess I'm about to go
09:13to a magazine stand
09:14for the first time.
09:14This is why we pay for Cam's
09:15many social club memberships.
09:18Isla.
09:30I think you're prematurely cheesing,
09:32I'm just going to say.
09:33You're going to get about
09:3315% more grill space
09:35on your lower right
09:36if you just shift it every...
09:37Here you go.
09:37I know you want it.
09:38I know you want it.
09:39Go for it.
09:40Nope, nope.
09:41Where are you going?
09:42Right there.
09:42I'm done.
09:42I'm done.
09:43And they have to keep
09:44their swim diapers on.
09:45Thank you so much
09:46for letting me bring my mom
09:47so she could watch the kids.
09:48Where's Gene?
09:49He's taking a stand-up class
09:50at Flappers.
09:51Oh, okay.
09:53I know.
09:54Um, hey,
09:54there's actually something
09:55I wanted to talk to you about.
09:57Oh, Cam's office.
09:58I'm sorry, I forgot.
09:59With all the coach stuff.
10:01No, no, no, it's fine.
10:02There's actually something bigger
10:03I wanted to run by you.
10:04Um, there is a song
10:08called Flowers
10:09by Miley Cyrus.
10:10It's about knowing
10:10your self-worth.
10:12And as you know...
10:13What is this?
10:13Are you nervous?
10:15Spit it out.
10:16I've got 80 crab cakes
10:17in the oven.
10:18Okay, fine.
10:18Look, it's just awkward
10:19because you're my best friend,
10:21but you're also my boss,
10:22and I just have to say it.
10:24I think I deserve a raise.
10:26Wow, okay.
10:28You know, when Cam left,
10:29you stepped up,
10:30but I stepped up too.
10:32And I love all my new responsibilities,
10:33but I just really feel like...
10:35You're so right.
10:36You need a raise.
10:37And I'm going to talk
10:38to Sandy about it.
10:39I'm going to make it my priority.
10:40I'm on it.
10:41Oh, my God.
10:41Oh, thank you so much.
10:43This just means so much to me,
10:44especially with Gene
10:45wanting to quit dentistry
10:46to pursue comedy full-time.
10:48Never made me laugh.
10:49He's never made anyone laugh.
10:51Hey, Cam.
10:52Hey.
10:53Oh, uh, sorry.
10:54Hi.
10:54The clogged toilet is upstairs.
10:57Ness.
10:58What?
10:58Hey, he's not the fucking plumber.
11:00This is my sober companion, Leroy.
11:02Hey.
11:03Oh, sorry.
11:04Good to meet you.
11:05Oh, shit.
11:06You got a pool?
11:08Could I borrow a bathing suit?
11:09Oh, I don't think we have any.
11:10Actually, you know what?
11:11I'm cool.
11:12I can wear my tighty-watties.
11:13Oh.
11:13Uh, hey.
11:14Oh, Lev.
11:15Leroy here needs a bathing suit.
11:17Do you have an extra one for him, please?
11:18Of course.
11:19You got it.
11:20Oh.
11:21Oh.
11:21Hey, Leroy.
11:22Yeah, I have a bathing suit for you.
11:24You know, you can keep it.
11:25What?
11:26And, uh, feel free to hop in the outdoor shower before you jump in.
11:29What's up with the indoor shower, though?
11:31Guy's amazing.
11:32He saved my life.
11:35You put him on every billboard in L.A.?
11:38I mean, that's expansive.
11:40That would be great.
11:40Are you still talking about Danny?
11:42Yeah.
11:42And the offer will be ready on Monday.
11:44Let's just get it out as soon as possible.
11:45Great.
11:46All right.
11:46I'll do that.
11:47Right?
11:48Oh, right.
11:48That's if it's okay with you, boss.
11:50Yeah, send it to me first.
11:51Okay.
11:51And I'll take a look out.
11:52I'd love to get a, uh, text chain going with him.
11:54Oh, that's easy.
11:55I'll just put us on a group chain.
11:56I love it.
11:57Hello.
11:57Okay.
11:58What about me?
11:58Danny's cool.
11:59I want to be on the chain.
12:00Oh.
12:01We never forget about you.
12:02You're a guy.
12:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:04Cool guy.
12:05Don't gladiate at me, please, please.
12:06Guys, our backs are choking.
12:07Are you not entertained?
12:08Don't, please.
12:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:15Can I be honest with you?
12:17I'm not there on this Danny thing.
12:20Well, on paper, he checks all the boxes.
12:22And he's the hottest coach available.
12:23But, I mean, it's still your call.
12:25Isn't it weird that he's, like, already Cam's guy?
12:30And he wants to change everything we've got.
12:32Well, I mean, you just had to be a decent human being
12:35and let Jay be with his children.
12:38Jay's like an extension of our family.
12:40I mean, he was a player and an assistant, head coach.
12:43I just need someone who understands this organization.
12:47Well, the head coach before Jay was Bruce Adams,
12:49but he's dead, so that's a no-go.
12:51Jay always said his real mentor was Norm Stinson.
12:54Wait.
12:56Whatever happened to him?
12:58Well, after he won a title as an assistant coach for your dad,
13:00he was the head coach in Orlando, then Cleveland, then Detroit.
13:02Okay, where is he now?
13:03According to Wikipedia, he currently resides in Anaheim.
13:09I want to meet with him, so send him the plane.
13:12It's a 45-minute drive.
13:14Anaheim?
13:15Yeah.
13:16Then where am I thinking?
13:17I have no idea.
13:19Put your hands in the air.
13:21Put your hands in the air.
13:22Yo, are you guys decent?
13:24Because I got a VIP guest about to come in.
13:26Oh, man, I can't be doing no more selfies with your sponsor.
13:29It's not Dennis, dude.
13:30It's a girl.
13:32Okay, so put your clothes on, perverts,
13:34and allow me to introduce my new bae, Zoe Dubai.
13:39Whoa.
13:40Hey, everyone.
13:41Ah, who is this woman?
13:43Benson, how do you not know Zoe Dubai?
13:45She had her own kid's show.
13:46Oh, I didn't watch a lot of TV in Nigeria.
13:49I was popular.
13:50It was called Triple Trouble.
13:52She played triplets.
13:53Nice to meet you, Zoe.
13:54Miss Dubai, big fan.
13:56It's an honor to meet you.
13:57I'm a big Waves fan.
13:59Y'all were robbed last year,
14:00but I know you're getting that ring this year.
14:03Yeah.
14:05All right.
14:06Enough.
14:07Zoe, the tour continues.
14:09Next up, HR and payroll.
14:12Woo!
14:16Can we please hurry up?
14:18I have a pickleball match in an hour with Stamos.
14:20Oh, you made the connection.
14:21Nice.
14:22Guy covers the court like a gazelle.
14:24Danny finds out we're jerking off another coach.
14:26He's going to be pissed on.
14:27It's going to be on you.
14:28Yeah, but I will say Norm would be a lot cheaper than Danny.
14:31Yes.
14:31I just want to exhaust all possibilities.
14:35Jackie, you can bring Norm in now.
14:37He fell asleep in reception.
14:38Should I wake him up?
14:39No, he's probably just meditating.
14:41He was snoring.
14:43Jackie, just bring him in, please.
14:48Well, it's good to see you kids again, huh?
14:50It's been a long time.
14:52All right?
14:52Let's see, Cam, glad to hear you're all for drugs.
14:56Yeah, that's a good call.
14:57Isla, hey, you finally get married.
15:00Good.
15:01Yeah, you were single a long time, so that's good.
15:03Ness, Asian wife.
15:05That's progress.
15:06And Sandy, you're, uh, gay.
15:10Yes.
15:11Yeah.
15:12Norm, you've got a really impressive resume.
15:15You have a 605 career winning percentage, five division titles with three different teams.
15:21I mean, what have you been up to these last years?
15:23Well, I got a condo in Anaheim.
15:25Yeah, right next to a Pete's coffee shop.
15:28So I go there every day.
15:30Anything else?
15:31I have a daughter.
15:33She lives in Boston, doesn't talk to me anymore.
15:35Her husband, he doesn't work, and I refuse to call him a full-time dad.
15:40He wears a fedora.
15:41Get the fuck out of here.
15:44Uh, Norm, this last year in Detroit, uh, do you want to tell us what happened?
15:50Well, let's just say I, uh, I was dealing with some personal stuff.
15:54Would you care to elaborate on that?
15:56No.
15:58You know what?
15:59We don't need to focus on the past.
16:00Let's talk about the future.
16:01Norm, what do you think about the state of our team?
16:04Yeah, what would you do to, say, maximize player efficiency or improve our EFG?
16:09Well, I don't know what any of that shit means,
16:11but what I would say about your team, okay, so Marcus, you're paying him too much money.
16:16Travis holds on to the ball too damn long.
16:18And, oh, well, oh, no, well, you gave up too many corner threes.
16:22Yeah, very, very sloppy.
16:24Did we do anything right?
16:25Uh, let's see.
16:28Jay, great coach.
16:30I don't know why you let him go.
16:31Oh, this is where my passwords are.
16:35Now I can get back into my apps.
16:37I gotta buy some compression socks.
16:40Norm, it was great to catch up.
16:43Thank you for coming in.
16:45Okay, all right.
16:46Well, I gotta go anyway.
16:47I'm at a meter.
16:48I didn't put any money in because I rolled the dice.
16:50If you don't mind, what's the deal with the snacks?
16:52Oh, go ahead.
16:53Help yourself.
16:54Really?
16:54Okay.
16:55This will go good with my coffee.
16:57I'm a dunker.
16:57Just take him, Norm.
16:58Thanks for coming in.
16:59Okay, thank you.
17:00All right.
17:01Can we hire Danny now, or are there any other befuddled, broken men you'd like to speak to?
17:05All right, fine.
17:06We'll go with Danny.
17:08Can I go?
17:09Yep.
17:10Monica, call Stamos!
17:15Woo!
17:17Where did dollar store Dyson go?
17:18I am feeling this.
17:20As you should.
17:21Might get a couple of these while I'm here.
17:24Oh, my God.
17:25Is that in pesos?
17:26Don't worry about the price.
17:27Are you buying?
17:28No.
17:29Just don't worry about the price.
17:31I'm going to go grab you some belts.
17:32Chill here.
17:33Don't be asking anyone about a bargain bin.
17:39Wow.
17:40Looking good.
17:41Oh, hey, Zoe.
17:43What are you doing here?
17:44Just shopping.
17:45You want to know something crazy?
17:46I actually grew up the biggest Long Beach Raccoons fan.
17:49Really?
17:50Yeah.
17:50We couldn't afford wave seats, but the D-League gave free tickets to my church.
17:54So we went to Raccoons games.
17:55Oh, you've been to the cage.
17:56Like a thousand times.
17:57I saw you play once.
17:59You were on fire, but they had to stop the game at halftime because the team forgot to pay
18:03the electric bill.
18:04Yeah, the owner was a real bad gambler.
18:07We've got to take a pic.
18:08My dad will freak when I tell him we met.
18:10Let's do it.
18:13Give me your phone so I can share it.
18:16Okay.
18:17There.
18:17Now you have my number.
18:19So are you going to get this suit?
18:21I don't know.
18:22I'm worried it's not nice enough.
18:25Well, that's too bad.
18:27You wear it well.
18:30You're welcome.
18:31So what are you doing after this?
18:32Just some shopping.
18:34Then I have a meeting later about this movie my agent wants me to do.
18:37Wow, that is so cool.
18:44Isla, I have Danny Pierce's agent, line two.
18:46Hey, Norm left this in my office.
18:48Oh, sorry.
18:49I mean conference room.
18:53Holy shit.
18:55Isla, Danny's agent holding?
18:58Yeah, tell him I'll call him back.
19:08Hi, I'm looking for a grouchy older gentleman.
19:20Norm.
19:20Oh, shit.
19:23You can't do that.
19:25You can't sneak up on somebody like that.
19:26I almost had a heart attack.
19:27I didn't sneak up on you.
19:29I gently tapped you on the shoulder and lightly said Norm.
19:32Well, you know where it was coming from.
19:34Like a ghost.
19:35Can I just sit down?
19:36Yeah.
19:37What are you doing here?
19:39I am here to yell at you.
19:41I went to bat for you.
19:42That interview was terrible.
19:44Your answers were all bad.
19:45And honestly, you were kind of rude.
19:47Wait a minute.
19:47Is this about the snacks?
19:48Because all of you said I could have them.
19:50You took everything.
19:51An entire grocery bag of snacks.
19:56Norm.
19:58What happened in Detroit?
20:01And if I was to hire you,
20:02how would I know that wouldn't happen again?
20:07Well, I don't think my wife can die twice.
20:15My wife, Andrea, passed away from ovarian cancer
20:20the last season that I coached.
20:22I'm so sorry.
20:24I...
20:27She got diagnosed and suddenly basketball became very unimportant.
20:36Then when she passed,
20:38it kind of shut down.
20:41Started hanging out here.
20:45That's really tough.
20:46No, it's actually pretty nice
20:48because they gave me my own copy
20:50of the bathroom key
20:51so I don't have to keep going up there
20:53and asking for it.
20:55You know, believe it or not,
20:58that meeting was the first time
21:01I've talked to other people in a while.
21:04I believe it.
21:05Hmm.
21:07You left your notebook.
21:09Oh.
21:09Oh, I left it?
21:11Hmm.
21:11I may have taken a peek.
21:13You broke down
21:14all of our defensive sets in the playoffs
21:16and basically reverse-engineered them
21:18for a new scheme.
21:20Yeah, well,
21:20I watched every Waves game last season.
21:22So you don't think we should move
21:24to a man-to-man defense?
21:25No, no, you don't throw out a system that works.
21:27You just shift the guard to the eye triangle
21:29with Marcus and Bug,
21:31that's gonna shrink the floor on defense.
21:32Teams are gonna shoot 8% worse from deep.
21:34This way Marcus doesn't have to sprint like he's 25.
21:37It's too much wear and tear.
21:41No, you got a good team.
21:43My what?
21:45And, uh,
21:47more importantly,
21:50they got you.
21:54I have a feeling it wasn't a mistake
21:56you left us behind.
21:58Now give me your whisk.
21:59It's a long drive home.
22:01Yeah, thanks.
22:02They got a jiggle, a handle.
22:07Yo, D, hold up.
22:09Yo.
22:09I want to talk to you about something.
22:11Bro, I got to talk to you, too.
22:13I spent so much money on that suit,
22:14I can't afford shoes.
22:16But high top's okay.
22:17You're buying shoes,
22:18but it ain't about that.
22:21I saw you sweating Zoe.
22:23She's just a raccoon's fan.
22:25Let me tell you something.
22:26My first year in L.A.,
22:27Ricky Smith broke his hand in practice.
22:29I remember that.
22:30Took you guys out of the playoffs.
22:31What you don't know is,
22:32is that Ricky broke it on Derek Newman's face.
22:34Because Derek was hooking up with his lady.
22:37And no, I'm not saying who it was.
22:41Rashanti.
22:41Damn.
22:42A month later, Ricky retired.
22:45And Rashanti left Derek Finnelli.
22:47And I didn't get my playoff bonus check.
22:49There's a pecking order on the team.
22:51It goes me.
22:52And then,
22:53about here is Travis.
22:54And then your broke ass is,
22:56well,
22:57way down there somewhere.
22:58You feel me?
23:01All right.
23:02Well, good afternoon.
23:03Thank you all for being here.
23:04It was a long search.
23:06But we always said
23:07when we found the right guy,
23:09we would know it.
23:10And we did.
23:11But then Isla wanted to meet one more person.
23:14So take it away, Isla.
23:17Thank you, Ness.
23:18I'm so excited
23:19to welcome back Norm Stinson
23:21as the new head coach
23:23of the Los Angeles Waves.
23:24Welcome home, Norm.
23:28All right.
23:29Well, let's open it up
23:29to some questions here.
23:31Rachel.
23:32Coach, there were reports
23:33that some within the organization
23:34wanted to hire Danny Pierce,
23:36but ultimately you were chosen.
23:38How does that make you feel?
23:39Wait, what do you mean Danny Pierce?
23:40Danny Pierce from Oklahoma?
23:42Seriously,
23:43you could have hired Danny Pierce?
23:44Isn't that crazy?
23:45No, I mean,
23:46that kid's a hot shot.
23:47Yeah.
23:47Easy on the eyes, too, right?
23:48Norm is obviously joking.
23:51Yeah, you're joking
23:51because you're better than him.
23:53Look, I'm going to do the best I can,
23:54and we hope it goes well.
23:57But if it doesn't,
23:59I guess it's on you then, right?
24:01Oh, my God, Norm.
24:03All right, let's do another question here.
24:05Coach Norm's going to sit this one out, okay?
24:08God damn it.
24:09Dude.
24:10Are you all right?
24:11Danny was going to be my guy.
24:13He was going to take us to the mountaintop,
24:14and I was going to get all the credit.
24:16Now Isla's throwing us this curveball.
24:18Now I'm fucked!
24:19What are you going to do now?
24:20What do you think I want to do now?
24:22I want to do some drugs.
24:23Yes!
24:24I was hoping you said that.
24:26Yeah, I actually tried this stuff out this morning.
24:28It's really good.
24:29Bottoms up.
24:43Did you get it?
24:48Yeah, it's goof.
24:51I meant good.
24:54Yeah, well, you look goof in it.
24:56Have a goof night.
25:07Hello?
25:08Dyson, Clint Benelli, Marcus's agent.
25:11Oh, yeah, we've met before.
25:12You were racking out of a handicapped spot,
25:14and you ran over my bike.
25:15Yeah, and I sent you home in an Uber black, didn't I?
25:18Look, you're becoming a real asset to the team.
25:20I want to ask you something.
25:21Are you happy with your contract?
25:29I made the Bella Hadid pasta from TikTok.
25:32We didn't have feta,
25:33so I used the 365 Mexican cheese blend.
25:36Oh, thank you.
25:38Look, I know we said
25:39that we were not drinking on weeknights,
25:41but I really could use, like, three glasses of wine.
25:44I had a feeling.
25:44Hey, by the way, congrats on hiring Norm.
25:47He seems great.
25:48Yeah, well, he better be,
25:50because it's on me if he isn't.
25:51Ooh, that reminds me.
25:52Hey, did you see that photo of Jay Brown on TMZ Sports?
25:56What?
25:56No.
25:57Yeah, my phlebotomist showed it to me.
25:58Apparently, he's dating Miss Massachusetts.
26:01He posted a selfie of them and a benefit.
26:03Jay Brown's dating a beauty queen?
26:05I guess some women find him handsome.
26:07What?
26:08I thought he was supposed to be, like,
26:10this intellectual guy
26:11who cared more about character than that.
26:13But whatever.
26:14She's very pretty.
26:16Yeah, well,
26:18I know someone prettier.
26:27Let's go upstairs.
26:29Why do we need to go upstairs?
26:34I mean, they had Danny Pierce on a platter,
26:37and I don't care what your pronouns are,
26:39everybody wants this kid.
26:40And they decide to go with Norm Stinson?
26:43I mean, was he half off at a garage sale or something?
26:45He doesn't have a garage.
26:46He doesn't have a condo, you idiot.
26:48Look at those further than Detroit.
26:48Hey, you have a minute?
26:50I know he can't hear me.
26:51I have to stop doing that.
26:52What's up?
26:53Oh, I just wanted to see
26:54if he got a chance to talk to Sandy.
26:55Oh.
26:56Oh, my God, I forgot.
26:57I'm sorry.
26:58Hiring Norm has been my priority.
27:01Not that you're not important.
27:03Well, hopefully I'm next.
27:05You know, you are.
27:06I mean, things are finally starting to settle down.
27:09Not so crazy, so...
27:11Breaking news here, breaking news.
27:13Sources are telling me that with only weeks left
27:16before the season starts,
27:18LA Wave small forward Dyson Gibbs
27:21is holding out for a new contract.
27:24Are you kidding me?
27:26Jackie, I need my brothers in here immediately.
27:29Are we good?
27:30Yeah, we're good.
27:32Did you know about this?
27:33No.
27:33No, you didn't know?
27:34Oh, yeah, I knew about it.
27:35I didn't talk to you.
27:35Does anyone know about this?
27:36There's not enough time to close a new contract.
27:38It's two weeks.
27:39Why don't we put Sean Murphy on the payroll at this point?
27:42Yeah, two weeks.
27:42That's plenty of time.
27:43You're lucky.
27:44You have to pay.
27:45You need to handle this.
27:46Listen.
27:46I'm going hard, serving face with no regard.
27:49I am that bitch.
27:51You said a lie, so I pop my shit.
27:53I slay, I slay.
27:55I turn up every day.
27:57The girls, when they hear.
27:59So listen very clear.
28:01Bring them out.
28:02Bring them out.
28:04Bring them out.
28:05Bring them out.
28:08Come on.
28:09Don't stretch.
28:10Don't dance.
28:11Can you feel it?
28:26I feel it.
28:27I feel it.
28:28Like I feel it.
28:30I'm feeling it.
28:31I'm feeling it.
28:33Loud and proud.
28:36Do you feel it?
28:52Go to bed.
29:13Go to bed.
29:43Go to bed.
30:13Go to bed.
30:38Go to bed.
