00:00:01Three seconds left on the clock.
00:00:04Boo! Boo!
00:00:22Touchdown, Tucker Newsome.
00:00:26God damn it!
00:00:30This is your fault! Your jeeks!
00:00:33Walking curse, I should have known when your mother left.
00:00:36Bad luck's in your bones!
00:00:39What do you mean, my fault?
00:00:41Wait.
00:00:43Then did you have the game?
00:00:45That touchdown just cost me my last hundred K!
00:00:50Your last hundred K?
00:00:53That was my life savings for my future, for-
00:00:56What?!
00:00:58I was saving up so I could do my internship with the Sentinels.
00:01:02It's my first day today.
00:01:07The Sentinels?
00:01:09Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:01:12Leon the Hitman Rivers?
00:01:16The linebacker paralyzed their EMVP with a dirty hit.
00:01:22A man who is banned for life.
00:01:25I'm using a different last name.
00:01:28You think a fake last name's got a fool in one?
00:01:38You know?
00:01:40You're my flesh and blood.
00:01:44The pizza's cold.
00:01:46What the-
00:01:50No.
00:01:52I am nothing like you.
00:01:54And I never will be.
00:01:56It's not like anyone's gonna miss you.
00:01:58You're a worthless loser.
00:02:01This is my fault.
00:02:03Get the hell out of my house!
00:02:05Don't bother for the back, you grateful little bitch!
00:02:14If the Sentinels ever find out who I really am, I'll be blacklisted forever.
00:02:19I have to hide my identity.
00:02:21At any cost.
00:02:28To the haters!
00:02:35You'll lose some!
00:02:39You suck!
00:02:48Oh!
00:02:52You suck!
00:02:57He's a mess.
00:02:59But messes make headlines.
00:03:02And headlines fill stadiums.
00:03:05We bring him in.
00:03:07Rehab his image.
00:03:08Make him look good.
00:03:10Make me look good.
00:03:12This isn't the first time that he's gotten into trouble like this.
00:03:18He's got anger management issues.
00:03:20And heat.
00:03:21The right story turns him from chaos into a comeback.
00:03:27More like a liability.
00:03:29Well that's what the morality clause is for.
00:03:31And the accountability partner.
00:03:46Damn.
00:03:48You tackle harder than half the league.
00:03:51Tucker, you sir?
00:03:53Let me guess.
00:03:55You're a fan.
00:03:56You do trend every week.
00:03:58But not for football.
00:03:59Bar fights.
00:04:00Suspensions.
00:04:01An Instagram feed that reads like a good fact at all.
00:04:05Sponsor C is radioactive.
00:04:09So I'm guessing that's a hard no on the autograph then.
00:04:13But if we pivot now, lean into redemption, vulnerability, carefully curing a comeback, you're not just back in the league.
00:04:21You're bigger than Travis Kelsey.
00:04:25Samir.
00:04:27Richard.
00:04:29Um.
00:04:30PR.
00:04:30Intern.
00:04:30Well shit.
00:04:32Most people just ask for a selfie.
00:04:35Welcome to the team.
00:04:37Intern.
00:04:54She just called me.
00:04:56Radio app.
00:05:07Well, well.
00:05:09You must be the charity hire.
00:05:11I'm Samir.
00:05:12Uh-huh.
00:05:12I know who you are.
00:05:16I told HR I needed a superstar, not a sentient STD with a LinkedIn profile.
00:05:29Mop it up.
00:05:34Better yet, lick it off the floor like the worthless gutter trash that you want.
00:05:44Also, those shoes.
00:05:46Trach it.
00:05:53No, no, no.
00:05:54Wait!
00:06:02We are blue.
00:06:05Good to have Tucker here.
00:06:06With the right support system, we believe he can help us win a championship.
00:06:13Which is why we've selected an accountability partner for him to keep him focused on football.
00:06:22Me.
00:06:34Sorry, I'm late.
00:06:36Uh-uh.
00:06:36Please.
00:06:37Don't mind her.
00:06:39She's barely house trained.
00:06:41But we're working on it.
00:06:46So.
00:06:47As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted.
00:06:51I want her.
00:06:55You mean the intern?
00:07:01Excuse me?
00:07:03What do you say, partner?
00:07:13Hey, intern.
00:07:15Slow down.
00:07:18You can't just point at someone and make them your babysitter.
00:07:23I always had a thing for my babysitters.
00:07:27Why me?
00:07:28I don't know.
00:07:29There was just something about you when we met before.
00:07:33So you thought I looked pathetic and felt sorry for me?
00:07:37Great.
00:07:38Nope.
00:07:39I thought you looked like someone who doesn't put up with bullshit.
00:07:42And I come with a lot of it.
00:07:44So what exactly do you expect me to do?
00:07:48Keep me out of the headlines.
00:07:49Unless the good ones.
00:07:51Let me stop you right there.
00:07:52I'm not your nanny.
00:07:54Or your emotional support human.
00:07:56Or your PR fairy godmother.
00:07:58I am a strategist.
00:08:00That means you don't speak, drink, post, or flirt sideways without my approval.
00:08:05Got it?
00:08:08You scared me a little.
00:08:15I kinda like it.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:21My job isn't to follow you around with duct tape and a fire extinguisher.
00:08:26That actually sounds pretty fun.
00:08:29I am serious.
00:08:31So am I.
00:08:32We want the same thing.
00:08:33You keep me clean, you look like a PR genius.
00:08:36Win-win.
00:08:40And if you don't?
00:08:42We both go down.
00:08:57Hello?
00:08:59Saw you on the TV.
00:09:01New job.
00:09:03New clothes.
00:09:04New name.
00:09:06And suddenly you act like we're done.
00:09:09You don't get to erase me.
00:09:12We're not finished, Samira.
00:09:14Not even close.
00:09:22Oh, look who's acting like she owns the place.
00:09:27You think you're special because he picked you?
00:09:32You're a temp with a clipboard.
00:09:35Office clutter and, oh my god, clearance heels?
00:09:38You do not belong here.
00:09:40I didn't ask for this.
00:09:42Oh, honey.
00:09:43I see what you're up to.
00:09:48But let me tell you who Tucker picks.
00:09:52Bombshells and boss bitches.
00:09:54And you are neither.
00:09:57Well, maybe he's tired of that type.
00:09:59Trust me.
00:10:01He's not.
00:10:01You are just the latest rehab prop in his redemption arc.
00:10:06And you'll be gone the minute his jersey sales spike like a bad case of herpes.
00:10:11Oh, my god.
00:10:13So enjoy your little Cinderella moment.
00:10:17Because when midnight strikes, I'll be the one still holding his paws.
00:10:24And you, you'll still be in your dollar store blazer dumpster diving for day-old Taco Bell.
00:10:30You finished?
00:10:32Oh, I am just getting started.
00:10:35Hey, intern.
00:10:39I almost forgot.
00:10:42Tucky Poo.
00:10:43Hi.
00:10:44We were just giving Samira a warm welcome.
00:10:50There's an owner's dinner tonight.
00:10:53Thought you could keep me accountable.
00:11:01Thought you could wear this.
00:11:04I'm not an escort.
00:11:06I know.
00:11:07More like a chaperone.
00:11:09And I need to be at my best behavior.
00:11:11She doesn't even own evening wear.
00:11:13You'll embarrass yourself.
00:11:15Not in that she won't.
00:11:16I know.
00:11:24I know.
00:11:25I know.
00:11:33You're gonna stand there all night?
00:11:40Oh.
00:11:41Oh.
00:11:42Oh.
00:11:42Oh.
00:11:43Oh.
00:11:44Oh.
00:11:44Oh.
00:11:46Oh.
00:11:48Oh.
00:11:52Oh.
00:11:56Well damn, intern.
00:11:59Remind me to pick out all your outfits from home.
00:12:04Remind yourself to check the price tag next time.
00:12:06This costs more than my student wants.
00:12:10And let's get one face straight.
00:12:12Tonight isn't about us.
00:12:14You're here to charm, smile, and not end up on page six.
00:12:23If you're going to stare at me like that, I might start to think you like me.
00:12:30This is strictly a business.
00:12:35A business.
00:12:38It's awesome.
00:12:54We're going to be late.
00:13:08He's a locker room liability.
00:13:10He's not here to win games.
00:13:12He's here to keep TMZ in business.
00:13:22It's their job to stir the pot.
00:13:24But still, it's brutal.
00:13:28You do this long enough, and you start to believe in the version of yourself at this hour.
00:13:34Bad boy, locker room cancer, walking headline.
00:13:39If you could screw it, might as well just live up to the rep.
00:13:45And now?
00:13:46I don't know who the hell I'm trying to be, but I do know that if I mess up, it's
00:13:53over.
00:13:55Not just this contract.
00:13:58My career.
00:14:01You're not the only one trying to outrun a part of yourself.
00:14:17Is that your new girlfriend, Tucker?
00:14:20Well, that's going to take a while.
00:14:24That's his intern, PR Rehab.
00:14:27Um, she won't last long.
00:14:34Good heavens, Mike, down!
00:14:38That's the commissioner's wife.
00:14:43That's why charity cases like her stay behind the rope.
00:15:06Care to explain why the commissioner is demanding an apology and a new dress for his wife?
00:15:13She's clearly overwhelmed.
00:15:14She doesn't belong in these settings.
00:15:16I tried to tell you.
00:15:18Well, this is your idea, Musa.
00:15:20Fix it, or I'll pull your contract.
00:15:23I'll resign.
00:15:25She's not going anywhere.
00:15:30You said I need to handle her.
00:15:32I chose her.
00:15:34She goes, I go.
00:15:39You're seriously going to jeopardize your comeback.
00:15:42For an intern.
00:15:45What can I say?
00:15:46I thrive on chaos.
00:15:55Hey, wait up!
00:15:59Michael!
00:16:00Sorry.
00:16:03We have to stop today.
00:16:16Rivers.
00:16:20I thought you were lost in the rich.
00:16:29Tucker can't know who I really am.
00:16:32Do they know who you're the daughter of?
00:16:35Leon, the Hitman nurse.
00:16:39The linebacker who paralyzed their MVP with a dirty hit.
00:16:45If he finds out, I lose this job, my future, everything.
00:16:50And I am back to waiting tables.
00:16:54Richards is my mom's maiden name.
00:16:56I use it sometimes.
00:16:57I guess it makes me feel closer to her.
00:17:02Sure.
00:17:05Makes sense.
00:17:07As long as you're not secretly in witness protection or something.
00:17:12Can I walk you to your car?
00:17:16I, uh, forgot something.
00:17:18You go ahead.
00:17:19I'll see you tomorrow.
00:17:20Mm-hmm.
00:17:32Hello?
00:17:43Hello?
00:17:45Hello?
00:17:46Hello?
00:17:46Hello?
00:17:47Hello?
00:17:48Hello?
00:17:48Hello?
00:17:48Hello?
00:18:02Oh, sorry.
00:18:07I didn't see anything.
00:18:09Okay, you can cry, or you can suck it up and pretend you still have a career, and your dignity.
00:18:16Please. You practically saw my credit score.
00:18:23Uh, how long?
00:18:26It's just, uh, you got kicked out of my house.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:37Pack your things.
00:18:39What?
00:18:40You're moving in. With me.
00:18:43It's awkward. No, that's not-
00:18:4524-7 means 24-7.
00:18:47You can't do your job if you're showering in a supply closet.
00:18:52It's more like a haunted boiler room.
00:18:56I appreciate it, but I don't need your pity.
00:18:59It's not pity. It's just practical.
00:19:03You can't keep me accountable if you're squatting in a tea mock room.
00:19:06I don't know.
00:19:18Wow.
00:19:19It's fine.
00:19:21Your room is down the hall. First door on the left. Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything in
00:19:27the fridge labeled TM. That means it's mine.
00:19:31Thanks. I can spell.
00:19:33Well, then we're going to get along great.
00:19:36Roommate.
00:20:01Oh, Jesus.
00:20:04Sorry, I didn't know anyone was...
00:20:07It's my house.
00:20:08You're the one sneaking around me.
00:20:10I couldn't.
00:20:13I wasn't sneaking.
00:20:15I was...
00:20:17Hydrating.
00:20:25You could really use some better snacks.
00:20:28Take the cat.
00:20:30I wasn't staring, by the way.
00:20:33I never said you were.
00:20:35Good.
00:20:36Because I wasn't.
00:20:45Still not staring?
00:20:48Uh...
00:20:49You're...
00:20:50Weaking.
00:20:51Sweat.
00:20:52You're, uh...
00:20:53It's...
00:20:53Distracting.
00:20:56I'll try to be less distracting.
00:21:04Look.
00:21:05If we're gonna live together, we should probably set some ground rules.
00:21:09Was I a bad boy?
00:21:12Rule one.
00:21:15Shirts.
00:21:18I feel targeted.
00:21:20Rule two.
00:21:22No flirting.
00:21:31Anything else?
00:21:34I need this job.
00:21:36I don't have a backup plan or a trust fund or a safety net.
00:21:41So...
00:21:42This thing.
00:21:43Whatever it is.
00:21:45If it starts getting in the way of the work...
00:21:49I walk.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:54I mean it, Tucker.
00:21:56I believe you.
00:22:14I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:22:17Good night.
00:22:33Well, if it isn't PowerPoint Barbie...
00:22:38How is our resident accountability partner?
00:22:41Or wait...
00:22:42Is it, um...
00:22:43Handler with benefits?
00:22:49Aww.
00:22:50I mean...
00:22:52Don't feel bad.
00:22:53We all play our part.
00:22:55Some guys cheer from the sidelines.
00:22:58Others just, um...
00:23:01On the bench.
00:23:02Just doing my part...
00:23:05To...
00:23:06Disinfect...
00:23:07The desperation.
00:23:09Skank.
00:23:13Oh!
00:23:15Oh!
00:23:19Oh!
00:23:21Oh!
00:23:21Oh!
00:23:22Oh!
00:23:23Oh!
00:23:24Oh!
00:23:24Oh!
00:23:25Oh!
00:23:33You good?
00:23:37You so much as breathe running her direction again.
00:23:40The only person you're gonna be doing PR for on this team is the mascot.
00:23:43You can't possibly be taking her side.
00:23:46You know, she's just using you to get rich and famous.
00:23:48Save it, Jules.
00:23:49The only person here who's cloud chasing is you.
00:23:55This isn't over.
00:24:00What are you waiting for?
00:24:02Go!
00:24:04Walk!
00:24:15Let's get you changed out of that shirt.
00:24:33What are you doing?
00:24:34Giving you something dry to wear.
00:24:38You feel me.
00:24:51You will be...
00:24:52Get you back...
00:24:54I'm about to be done.
00:24:56I'm a moron...
00:24:57I'm a moron...
00:24:58I'm a moron...
00:25:00A lot of people who are час-headed.
00:25:02I am a moron...
00:25:06I'm sorry.
00:25:19I can fight my own battles.
00:25:26I know.
00:25:27But sometimes it's nice to know you don't have to.
00:25:32Well, thanks.
00:25:38You, uh, you wear that dangerously well.
00:25:44Careful.
00:25:47You're getting awfully close to flirting.
00:25:51I thought that was against the rules.
00:25:54It is.
00:26:08Keep the room in five.
00:26:10Cold tub's on deck.
00:26:14Guess that's our cue.
00:26:16Yeah.
00:26:17Guess so.
00:26:33Pack your bags.
00:26:36Excuse me?
00:26:37We've got a game in Vegas.
00:26:38Sunday.
00:26:39Team plan leads in an hour.
00:26:41I need you with me.
00:26:43Vegas?
00:26:44To the city.
00:26:45Neon.
00:26:46Nightclubs.
00:26:47Available tattoos.
00:26:48If there ever was a time I needed an accountability partner, it's there.
00:26:53I can handle the bright lights.
00:26:55I can handle the pressure.
00:26:56But if anyone finds out who I really am, I'm finished.
00:27:11Could I get the key to my room?
00:27:13Forgot to tell you.
00:27:14Hotels over boats.
00:27:16Just one room.
00:27:26I'll take the king.
00:27:27You can take the couch.
00:27:29Generous.
00:27:31I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
00:27:34Okay.
00:27:35I have had apartments smaller than this room.
00:27:39Some of the guys are hitting the strip.
00:27:40A couple of drinks.
00:27:42Blackjack.
00:27:43Just team bonding.
00:27:45Team bonding.
00:27:46Is that what we're calling it now?
00:27:52You are not going anywhere.
00:27:59Oh, really?
00:28:00You are locking me in now.
00:28:03If that's what it takes.
00:28:09Go put on sweats.
00:28:10I'm ordering room service.
00:28:12You are getting hot tea and a 9pm bedtime.
00:28:15And what if I misbehave?
00:28:17Then I'll have to punish you.
00:28:19And not in the hallway.
00:28:35What?
00:28:37You just accomplished something.
00:28:42Oh.
00:29:01what is it just the guys checking in you should probably get some sleep
00:29:10the glitter pit
00:29:14you live a game tomorrow you are not going to a strip club and what are you gonna do
00:29:18stay up all night keeping watch on me i don't know if i have to suit yourself
00:29:29oh just so you know
00:29:36this is how i sleep since you probably just get used to it
00:29:45great now i have to sleep in the same room as
00:29:57this
00:30:14I could get used to waking up like this, but he doesn't know the truth about me.
00:30:19Or the last name I'm hiding, which is exactly why I can't.
00:30:31So, that was a fun single.
00:30:35We slept.
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:37It won't happen again.
00:30:54There's a breakfast buffet.
00:30:56Heard the protein pancakes are pretty sick.
00:30:59You'd eat drywall if it had enough protein in it.
00:31:03Drywall actually has a surprisingly good amino acid really well.
00:31:09Samira, didn't expect to see you in Vegas.
00:31:14Eli, what are you doing here?
00:31:17Who are you?
00:31:18I'm her ex.
00:31:27Oh no.
00:31:28If Eli reveals who my dad is, that's it.
00:31:32Game over.
00:31:33Eli, I didn't know you were covering this game.
00:31:37Yeah, I got bumped up from the podcast to on camera this week.
00:31:41I guess I finally impressed someone.
00:31:43What are you doing here?
00:31:45I've been training for the Sentinels.
00:31:48Working with Tucker.
00:31:51What?
00:31:52You got a problem with that?
00:31:54No.
00:31:54Not at all.
00:31:55I'm just surprised to see you trading your career ambitions for babysitting.
00:32:01Wow.
00:32:02And they let you be on camera with that personality.
00:32:04Coming from a guy whose entire personality is catchers balls.
00:32:12Okay boys, I think that is enough testosterone for one buffet.
00:32:19We should get something.
00:32:21You know, honestly, I'm surprised they even mentioned building with your last name.
00:32:39Your ex, always like that?
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42He's a huge asshole.
00:32:45And what did he mean?
00:32:47About your last name?
00:32:55Team Bus departs in 15!
00:32:59We've got a game in a few hours.
00:33:01You need to stay focused.
00:33:03No distractions.
00:33:04There you go again.
00:33:05I was trying to control the story.
00:33:08That is literally my job.
00:33:20Club's already hopping.
00:33:27Going out?
00:33:32Some of the guys are grabbing drinks to celebrate the win.
00:33:36Nothing crazy.
00:33:38Hmm.
00:33:42You left your own devices in Sin City?
00:33:45I don't think so.
00:33:46I'm coming.
00:33:49You want to keep an eye on me or you just don't want to miss out on some fun?
00:33:58I'm not here to have fun.
00:34:03We'll see about that, intern.
00:34:22I've tried not to get recognized every five feet.
00:34:26No promises.
00:34:28Fame is a burden I carry.
00:34:30Craigsly.
00:34:37I don't know.
00:34:39I'm coming in.
00:34:40I'm coming in.
00:34:40I'm coming in.
00:34:41I'm coming in.
00:34:42I'm coming in.
00:34:56Tucker Newsome, can I have your autograph?
00:34:59Give me two seconds.
00:35:01Jill, be right back.
00:35:08You with the tight end?
00:35:11I'm good, thanks.
00:35:13That's not what I asked for.
00:35:15I said I'm good.
00:35:17Hey, come on.
00:35:19Don't be like that.
00:35:21I'd like to see your tight end.
00:35:29What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?
00:35:43Hitting a woman.
00:35:44Not cool.
00:35:45What the hell?
00:35:46I'm going to have to call unnecessary roughness on that fight.
00:35:50Apologize, sir.
00:35:51Screw you!
00:35:53One, two.
00:36:00You okay?
00:36:02Hey!
00:36:03Hands where I can see them!
00:36:05Yeah.
00:36:07And that is what you call assault.
00:36:10You gotta be kidding me.
00:36:12It was self-defense.
00:36:13Now!
00:36:20Wait.
00:36:22Don't I know you?
00:36:23You bailed your old man out of the slammer.
00:36:25Like father, like daughter.
00:36:28Samira.
00:36:29What is he talking about?
00:36:47The lying back are paralyzed there.
00:36:50We have a VP with a dirty head.
00:36:53Like father, like daughter.
00:36:54My dad had a bit of a temper.
00:36:56He had a road rage incident.
00:36:59Some guy cut him off and he completely lost it.
00:37:04We've all been there.
00:37:06Usually I at least make it to the second day before I live in jail.
00:37:10This is not a date.
00:37:12It would be a pretty good story to tell the kids stuff at once.
00:37:18Video gets out of this.
00:37:20I'm finished.
00:37:22I didn't see anyone with their phones out.
00:37:25It'll come out somewhere.
00:37:26Good.
00:37:27People will see you defending an innocent woman from a violent creep.
00:37:32Do you think I'm the last cause?
00:37:35No.
00:37:36I think you're used to people treating you like one.
00:37:40So you act like you are.
00:37:50I'm sorry for pulling you into this mess.
00:37:55You did it.
00:37:56I walked right in.
00:37:59Eyes wide open.
00:38:00Murray, you made battle.
00:38:09Wow.
00:38:11Look at you two.
00:38:13Just like prom night.
00:38:16Not that you'd know.
00:38:19Jules, how did you-
00:38:20You're welcome, by the way.
00:38:22You'll be out of here in a minute.
00:38:25You, on the other hand, can enjoy your complimentary night in the slammer.
00:38:31What?
00:38:34You're not even under contract with the team.
00:38:36I mean, you're an intern.
00:38:38Now, you're a liability.
00:38:41HR will reach out with an email in the morning.
00:38:45Spoiler alert.
00:38:46You're fired.
00:38:48She was defending this.
00:38:49And you were defending her.
00:38:51Blah, blah, blah.
00:38:52She's not staying in here.
00:38:55Okay, well, I only brought enough cash for one of you, so.
00:38:58Okay.
00:38:59Then I stay too.
00:39:02Excuse me?
00:39:03If she goes down for this, so do I.
00:39:05You're really willing to blow up your career, your entire future, for her?
00:39:10You're damn right I would.
00:39:13Either both of us walk out of here, or neither of us do.
00:39:22Fine.
00:39:24Have it your way.
00:39:26But just remember, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
00:39:48Well, that is a road trip I would like to forget.
00:39:52I still feel like I smoothed up my most bad decisions.
00:39:57That jail cell.
00:39:59That was worse than the team locker room after two-a-days in the dead of August.
00:40:07When we get home, I need a shower.
00:40:09Like, an exorcism-level shower.
00:40:13Just don't use all the hot water, please.
00:40:38You know there's eight bathrooms in the house, right?
00:40:42Yeah, but this one's the ones.
00:40:46Have you been?
00:41:24Oh my god.
00:41:25Jesus.
00:41:27Why did it just turn into a cold plunge?
00:41:29This fancy mansion has a broken water here?
00:41:33That looks good.
00:41:54It's Gus Marwood.
00:41:55The owner of the team.
00:41:57Why are you whispering?
00:42:02Gus!
00:42:03What a pleasant surprise.
00:42:05Tucker!
00:42:06Listen, hey, I know it's last minute, but I called in a favor and I got you.
00:42:11You booked on the number one football podcast.
00:42:13It'll be great for you to reintroduce yourself to your fans.
00:42:16The new and improved Tucker Newsome.
00:42:19A podcast?
00:42:23Yeah.
00:42:24Sure, let's do it.
00:42:26Great.
00:42:27Look, it's also streaming live on YouTube.
00:42:302 p.m. soundworks downtown.
00:42:32Make me proud.
00:42:33Don't let me down.
00:42:49Mr. Newsome.
00:42:50They're ready for you in Studio B.
00:42:52Please follow me.
00:42:55Just stick to the talking points.
00:42:57I'll give the internet a reason to cancel you.
00:43:00It's going to be 45 minutes of softballs.
00:43:02I got this.
00:43:08I'm her ex.
00:43:16And here he is.
00:43:18Right on time.
00:43:31I'm her ex.
00:43:34All right, folks, we're live here.
00:43:36Tucker Newsome, two-time pro bowler and brand new Seattle Sentinel.
00:43:40Thanks for joining us.
00:43:44Wouldn't miss it, man.
00:43:45Big fan of the pod.
00:43:49Let's get right into it.
00:43:50You've had an interest in a couple of years.
00:43:53How would you describe this chapter of your career?
00:43:56Focused.
00:43:57Humble.
00:43:58Hungry.
00:43:59That's new.
00:44:02A lot of fans are surprised the Sentinels are taking a chance on you.
00:44:05Some even saying it's a PR stunt.
00:44:07What do you think about that?
00:44:09It's fair?
00:44:10People can say what they want.
00:44:11I'm here to win games.
00:44:15The winning's never been your problem, has it?
00:44:19It's everything that happens off the field.
00:44:22Let's talk about the suspensions.
00:44:26Block lights and the blinds.
00:44:29I mean, one of the most talented tight ends in the league.
00:44:32Also the most volatile.
00:44:34People like to call you the league's favorite cautionary tale.
00:44:37I've made mistakes.
00:44:39I've owned them.
00:44:40And I'm doing the work to be better.
00:44:44So last week at the Vegas nightclub.
00:44:49Was that part of the work?
00:44:56Was that another example of your temper getting better?
00:44:59Then I was here to talk about football.
00:45:08Can we take five?
00:45:25Tucker, stop.
00:45:26Tucker, wait.
00:45:28Stop.
00:45:29This is a trap.
00:45:31He's not interviewing me.
00:45:33He's trying to humiliate me.
00:45:34I know.
00:45:34But that is exactly why you cannot lose it in there.
00:45:37You heard what you said.
00:45:38I did.
00:45:40But if you fire back, you win.
00:45:44If you keep your cool,
00:45:46you walk out of here the guy people root for again.
00:45:49Give me your phone.
00:45:50What?
00:45:51Trust me.
00:46:0050 cents.
00:46:04I'll sit behind the glass and I'll talk to you through it.
00:46:07You don't have to go through this alone.
00:46:11Let me help.
00:46:26All right, we are back.
00:46:28Tucker, I'm sorry.
00:46:29Where were we?
00:46:30Please.
00:46:31Shoulders down.
00:46:32First question, deflect.
00:46:35Then redirect.
00:46:36You asked about Vegas.
00:46:39Yes, there was an incident.
00:46:41And I would do the exact same thing again if someone laid a hand on a woman in front of
00:46:46me.
00:46:47So, no regrets.
00:46:50No pain.
00:46:51Gratitude.
00:46:52This is your growth arc.
00:46:54Give them the headline you want.
00:46:56I've made mistakes.
00:46:58But I'm learning.
00:46:59And I have people in my life now who push me to be better.
00:47:02Not just as a player.
00:47:04But as a man.
00:47:09He's rattled.
00:47:11Yes.
00:47:12You can keep judging.
00:47:14I'm just going to keep moving forward.
00:47:30You were incredible in there.
00:47:32You were incredible.
00:47:35We made a pretty good team, didn't we?
00:47:37I could get used to that.
00:47:39What?
00:47:41You.
00:47:43Tell me what to do.
00:47:59All my life, I was looking for a sign.
00:48:05Wasn't sure where to find a peace of mind.
00:48:10Say goodbye.
00:48:16Oh, Star.
00:48:18Diane's sleeping with the intern.
00:48:20Now that's a scandal.
00:48:22Chuck or Joe?
00:48:24I should knock your teeth out.
00:48:26Try me, Issam.
00:48:27You lay a hand on me.
00:48:28And this isn't just a front page story.
00:48:31This is a lawsuit, too.
00:48:34If you want a story, I'll give you one.
00:48:36Okay, I'm listening.
00:48:40Get the hell out of my house!
00:48:42And don't bother coming back, you ungrateful little bitch!
00:48:46Leon Rivers.
00:48:48Disgrace NFA Championship MVP.
00:48:51Banned for life for nearly killing a player on the field.
00:48:55Well, I know where he's been hiding.
00:48:57And he is in a new kind of trouble.
00:48:59Indeed, with the betting syndicate.
00:49:00Big names, big debt.
00:49:05That's quite the scoop.
00:49:08Delete the photos, and you have yourself an exclusive.
00:49:11Deal.
00:49:12No pictures here.
00:49:22What the hell was that?
00:49:24That was me saving your career.
00:49:26No, that was you knowing way too much about Leon Rivers.
00:49:29How?
00:49:34I wrote my senior thesis on him.
00:49:37PR major, crisis comms.
00:49:39This case is textbook, fame, violence, media spin, total brain meltdown.
00:49:44Right now, every of me detail.
00:49:48Well, you saved my ass.
00:49:50Again, we need to be more careful.
00:49:55You're right.
00:49:56You were just my accountability partner.
00:49:58That's it.
00:49:59No more late night, heart to hearts.
00:50:01No more mixed signals.
00:50:03We are just two people who are forced to be on the same team.
00:50:06Understood.
00:50:08I'm late for practice.
00:50:10You can take a newbie back to the office.
00:50:19Hello?
00:50:19So, my own daughter sold me out.
00:50:24You're going to be sorry, you pathetic fucking cockroach!
00:50:39You've got a charity event tonight?
00:50:437 p.m., downtown Breast Cancer Awareness.
00:50:46Media will be there.
00:50:48Of course they will be there.
00:50:50Of course they will be there.
00:50:50Which means I'll be there too.
00:50:52To manage optics.
00:50:54Nothing more.
00:50:55Fine.
00:50:57Good.
00:50:59Great.
00:51:12Smile.
00:51:13Let's try to avoid any controversy tonight.
00:51:17Well, well, well.
00:51:18Look who it is.
00:51:21Our golden boy.
00:51:24Made up nice.
00:51:25Well, I'm committed to turning the page, boss.
00:51:28Let's see how long that lasts.
00:51:30He's actually been nothing but professional.
00:51:32A model representative of the team.
00:51:36So far.
00:51:37We all know it's only a matter of time before he screws up again.
00:51:42Enjoy the evening.
00:51:48I don't believe that.
00:51:50Yeah, well, you know what they say.
00:51:51The zebra can't change its stripes.
00:51:56Well, look who it is.
00:51:59Long time no see.
00:52:03Long time no see.
00:52:05I didn't realize you were covering this.
00:52:07Oh, yeah.
00:52:08Last minute Simon.
00:52:09Charity sentiment overpriced champagne.
00:52:11Plus people love the redemption arc.
00:52:13I've been watching the numbers on the podcast interview.
00:52:15Higher than any other episode we've done this season.
00:52:18Oh, you mean despite your best efforts that bait me into blowing it.
00:52:22That's fair.
00:52:23That's fair.
00:52:24I might have been a little aggressive.
00:52:26I tried to get you to crack, but you didn't.
00:52:28This is not the story you want him to.
00:52:31It's becoming clear.
00:52:32Whatever you're doing to rehab his image, it's working.
00:52:36What's your angle?
00:52:37Believe it or not, I know what I've lost.
00:52:39I expected you to be a train wreck and your head is planted right at the station.
00:52:46Ladies and gentlemen.
00:52:49Thank you for joining us tonight in support of breast cancer research.
00:52:53The auction begins shortly.
00:52:55And for the first time ever, we're doing something a little different.
00:52:58Tonight's auction won't feature art or wine or vacation homes.
00:53:04Because tonight we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:10Because tonight we're auctioning off the players.
00:53:25That's right folks, tonight's prize isn't a vintage bottle of Chateau Margaux.
00:53:30It's a dinner date with the city's finest.
00:53:33And by fine, we mean really fine.
00:53:36First up, you know him, you love him.
00:53:39He has more touchdowns than the rest this month.
00:53:42Please welcome number 88, Tucker Newsome.
00:53:51Welcome Tucker.
00:53:52Looking very handsome.
00:53:57Tell us, what makes you the ideal date for one lucky bidder tonight?
00:54:02I'm Ponchu, and I don't check my phone at dinner.
00:54:04Unless it's ESPN.
00:54:10A man who's present.
00:54:12We love it.
00:54:12Okay, lightning round.
00:54:15Dine in or take out?
00:54:16Cookie for two.
00:54:18I try.
00:54:19Tattoos or no?
00:54:21I guess.
00:54:22All earned.
00:54:26Boxers or briefs?
00:54:28I guess.
00:54:29I have to win the auction to find out.
00:54:36And one last thing before the bidding begins.
00:54:39Ladies, you didn't think we'd let him off the stage without making him work a little harder for it, did
00:54:44you?
00:54:45It is for charity after all.
00:54:48Hit it!
00:55:09Hit it!
00:55:13Hit it!
00:55:14Hit it!
00:55:16Hit it!
00:55:16Hit it!
00:55:18Hit it!
00:55:20Hit it!
00:55:21Are you?
00:55:22Bitter?
00:55:24Does everyone know about you?
00:55:27It cost a bit of time until they get you.
00:55:31And it's just another reason that you won't be with me.

00:57:11You're mine tonight.
00:57:25You look like you could use some company.
00:57:29Thanks.
00:57:32I guess watching your fake boyfriend get auctioned off to your real enemy wasn't exactly the plan tonight.
00:57:37He's not my fake anything.
00:57:39We work together.
00:57:41That's it.
00:57:42Sorry, that was a bad joke. I was just trying to lighten the mood.
00:57:47He didn't even look back.
00:57:49Maybe he did. Maybe he just missed it.
00:57:52He walked right past me. Right out the door together.
00:57:57You know, if you want to talk or drink and forget about the night, I'm still a pretty good listener.
00:58:05Are you sure you're not just trying to get the next exclusive on Tucker?
00:58:09Not tonight.
00:58:12Just one drink.
00:58:14Just one.
00:58:19To old friends, new beginnings.
00:58:24Don't worry.
00:58:24That's it.
00:58:44I just, you know, don't worry.
00:58:45Thanks for your attention.
00:58:45ersten
00:58:45Don't worry, come.
00:58:45We've got five.
00:58:45Look at those.
00:58:45We've got several out.
00:58:45Bye-bye.
00:58:45Bye-bye.
00:58:45Bye-bye.
00:58:48Bye-bye.
00:58:53Well, I hit fast.
00:58:56Are you okay?
00:58:59I just, I think I need to lay down.
00:59:02All right, come on.
00:59:03There's a quiet room just off to the lobby.
00:59:05I'll take you there.
00:59:16Something's wrong.
00:59:24What are you doing?
00:59:27I miss you, Sammy.
00:59:29We were so good together.
00:59:30Stop!
00:59:31It can be like when we first met.
00:59:34We couldn't keep our hands off each other.
00:59:36No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:39Get your hands off!
00:59:42What the hell?
00:59:43We're in the middle of something.
00:59:45Okay.
00:59:47You sick son of a bitch!
00:59:49Come on.
01:00:21What...what happened?
01:00:23You were drugged.
01:00:24Eli.
01:00:26What about your date with Jules?
01:00:28How did you...
01:00:29Didn't happen.
01:00:30Took her home.
01:00:31Dropped her off.
01:00:32I was just trying to make you jealous.
01:00:36Childish move.
01:00:38But the truth is, there was only one person I was up on that stage stripping for.
01:00:46You're looking back for me.
01:00:48What?
01:00:49What?
01:00:50What?
01:00:52What?
01:00:54What?
01:01:02What?
01:01:06What?
01:01:06What?
01:01:11What?
01:01:24What?
01:01:31What is it?
01:01:34I shouldn't be here.
01:01:35Too late for that.
01:01:37You are?
01:01:39What?
01:02:07What?
01:02:07What?
01:02:09What?
01:02:09What?
01:02:11What?
01:02:16What?
01:02:17What?
01:02:25What?
01:02:30What?
01:02:33What?
01:02:40What?
01:02:40What?
01:02:41What?
01:03:01What?
01:03:02What?
01:03:10What?
01:03:12What?
01:03:13What?
01:03:14What?
01:03:16What?
01:03:20What?
01:03:22What?
01:03:24What?
01:03:48What?
01:03:51What?
01:03:53What?
01:03:53What?
01:03:58What?
01:04:00What?
01:04:01What?
01:04:05What?
01:04:06What?
01:04:08What?
01:04:09What?
01:04:10What?
01:04:10What?
01:04:22What?
01:04:26What?
01:04:33What?
01:04:35Maybe he'll think twice before blowing me off this time.
01:04:40Sleeping with the Intern?
01:04:42You violated your morality clothes.
01:04:44So, you're suspended.
01:04:46indefinitely.
01:04:53Tucker i'm so sorry.
01:04:54This is because of me.
01:04:56No.
01:04:57This is because someone is trying to ruin me.
01:05:00And they used you to do it.
01:05:05They think that I'm the same screw-up that I used to be.
01:05:10I'm trying to protect everything that I worked for and burn it down.
01:05:14I should go.
01:05:20You don't have to leave, Samira.
01:05:22You didn't do anything at all.
01:05:25You walk out that door, they win.
01:05:28Sometimes you don't have to play that again.
01:05:53What the hell do you want from me?
01:05:55Sam.
01:05:59You just signed your old man's death will melt.
01:06:03That video wasn't my fault.
01:06:05You think I wanted this to happen?
01:06:07What I think doesn't matter.
01:06:09What matters is there's seven figures riding on the Sentinels winning this weekend's playoff game.
01:06:14And now their number one red zone threat is suspended.
01:06:19If Tucker doesn't play, they can't even.
01:06:23That's not my fault.
01:06:25It is now.
01:06:26Because if I go down, they're not just coming for me.
01:06:31They're coming for you and him.
01:06:42This is because of your mistakes.
01:06:46Again.
01:06:47You can't move to everything.
01:06:49Your money, your career, your life.
01:06:52And now you expect me to fix it?
01:06:55Do you have any idea what it's taken for me to get this far?
01:06:59I changed my name.
01:07:01Buried who I was.
01:07:02I spent years proving that I am not you.
01:07:04That I am better than your screw-ups.
01:07:07You expect me to blow it all up just to keep you breathing?
01:07:11Yeah.
01:07:13That's right.
01:07:14I'm the only family you got.
01:07:18I'm so tired of cleaning up your messes.
01:07:23I built this life on my own.
01:07:25Every step of it.
01:07:25No one handed it to me.
01:07:27And I sure as hell didn't gamble it away.
01:07:31You done?
01:07:36What could I even do?
01:07:37Publicly take the ball for the video.
01:07:40Say it was you who seduced him.
01:07:43He tried to stop it.
01:07:45You lied about your identity.
01:07:48You manipulated him.
01:07:50Whatever it takes.
01:07:52Just clear his name.
01:07:54Get him back in the field.
01:07:57You want me to destroy my reputation
01:07:59for a man you've never even met.
01:08:02I'm going to make it to next Monday
01:08:04with a pulse.
01:08:06I don't know.
