00:00Alright. Okay. I'm outside. This isn't so bad. Now see why squirrels live out here.
00:08Hey, Mr. Dinkins. My dad says you suck.
00:11Well, the commercials for your dad's law firm are corny.
00:16You too. What's that kid even doing outside? Should be on your phone.
00:21Tonight I'm gonna cut his trampoline. What's I'm gonna do?
00:25Huh.
00:31Oh! Hell! Yeah!
00:33The fall and rise of Reggie Dinkins.
00:40Morning, Rusty. Who's your friend?
00:44Oh, this is Jill. My date from last night and twice this morning.
00:50Isn't that wonderful?
00:51Oh, shoot. I'm gonna be late for my shift at Newark and that air traffic's not gonna control itself.
00:56If you find my shoes, just throw them away.
01:00So nice to meet you.
01:04Rusty! My son is here this week and I'm sure Jill is lovely.
01:08Oh, no. She's not. Her words. And I always wait until Carmela leaves for school before I bring them up.
01:14Them?
01:14Let's just say TGI Fridays isn't the only place I crush the apps.
01:18For real? Rusty? I once saw that man drop a whole bowl of spaghetti in the pool, wait for it
01:26to get sucked into the filter, open the filter, and then eat the spaghetti.
01:31What was I supposed to do? Just all of a sudden learn how to swim?
01:35Look, Monica, I don't like to kiss and tell, but Jill and I didn't kiss.
01:40Well, you do live here and you have the right to live your life, but let's just keep it PG.
01:47Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle... equal?
01:52What's that supposed to mean?
01:53Come on. We're both single adults with a cell phone. You get it?
01:57Uh-uh. We are not the same.
01:59I don't need apps to meet people. I just go to the wine bar at the mall and, you know,
02:04catch a vibe.
02:05Do they still have wine bars? I mean, I know they don't have malls.
02:08Well, I know it's been a minute, but I wasn't wearing a mask the last time I went out, so
02:12it was after COVID.
02:14Or before.
02:15Yeah. People don't meet in person anymore.
02:18Come on, let me make you a profile, okay? I could be your hitch.
02:21So I'm Kevin James? No, I'm sorry.
02:24Okay. Well, let me know if you need more help.
02:27Rusty may need the apps.
02:28But Moni's still got it.
02:30And maybe tonight I prove it.
02:32Hit the Tuscan Grape and show all y'all how it's done.
02:36Stella's about to get her groove back.
02:37Hey!
02:40Or a more recent reference.
02:42Yo, yo, yo.
02:44Check this out.
02:45This cat is gonna get me in the Hall of Fame.
02:47Congratulations, buddy. You deserve it.
02:49I need you to say more words.
02:52This is Doug Donovan's cat.
02:53Your old coach?
02:55That guy's had a rough couple of years.
02:57Last year, Jets coach Duck Donovan was on top of the world.
03:01With Dinkins in the backfield, nothing can stop us.
03:04Literally nothing.
03:06Name one thing.
03:07Just one year later, Donovan is out after going 4-12 without Dinkins.
03:12Talk about a lame duck, Donovan.
03:15And joining me in Club Divorcee, recently fired Seton Hall coach and even more recently fired Passaic Middle School coach,
03:23Duck Donovan.
03:24Talk about a lame duck.
03:27No, I just came up with that.
03:29Officer!
03:29They say I can't bring Namath to work just because I handle food?
03:33But he's an emotional support cat.
03:35I need him.
03:36He's all I have.
03:37Sir, that's not a reason to call the police.
03:40I know my rights.
03:41And he blamed me for all of that.
03:44And that's good?
03:45Coach loves that cat more than life.
03:47I've seen him pushing him around in a damn stroller.
03:50So, I find the cat.
03:52Coach is so happy, he forgives me.
03:55And everyone else is like, yo, that guy forgave you?
03:58We forgive you.
04:00And then, bam, Hall of Fame.
04:02Bam, broadcasting job.
04:03Bam, they make a movie of your life.
04:05Bam, Pedro Pascal plays me.
04:07And he wants me on set.
04:09And we just click.
04:11Okay, I guess.
04:12It's the perfect plan.
04:15If anyone can understand what Reggie's going through right now, it's me.
04:19Footage of the absolute lowest point in my life was recently...
04:24...memified.
04:27Namath isn't a way for Reggie to get into the Hall of Fame.
04:30Namath is the Hall of Fame.
04:32I mean, what, does Reggie truly believe he is going to be able to find a lone cat in the
04:37thousands of acres that comprise Alpine, New Jersey and Big Pussy Bonpensiero State Park?
04:42Of course not.
04:44But some part of him needs to believe that no cause is truly lost.
04:50So, tonight, we will go and look for the cat.
04:55Tomorrow, we will sit down and confront what that means.
04:59And that is the cake Mother set aside especially for Arthur.
05:25Hey, you.
05:32Oh, my God, he's dead.
05:38No one drink the Pinot Grigio!
05:45Am I about to ask the man that lives in my ex-husband's basement for dating advice?
05:51Hey!
05:52Welcome to Hitch's office, Kevin James' character.
05:56Okay, you were right.
05:58I got out the game a bit and the game has changed.
06:02Mm-hmm.
06:02So, either I embraced the Korean feminist celibacy movement for B...
06:07B-Sexu, B-Shose, B-Hune, B-Hoon.
06:09I'm aware of it.
06:10Or I can learn, with your help, how to do the swipey thing with the phone.
06:16Honestly, Monica, this is a great time to dive back in.
06:19You know, there's a male loneliness epidemic, so you are going to clean up.
06:23But be careful, because they're also very fragile.
06:25So, they may fully snap if you reject them.
06:29Men are in crisis.
06:30Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:32The bad part is the scammers, so don't send anyone any money for a plane ticket.
06:37Always buy it yourself.
06:38That way, if they turn out to be fake, you get to keep the points.
06:41Good to know.
06:42Gosh, there's so much more.
06:43You know what?
06:44I'm just going to leave you a voice note.
06:45Hold on.
06:46Monica, hi.
06:48It's Rusty from the house.
06:49Yeah, if a guy's photo is in his car, he might live in his car.
06:53What are you guys talking about?
06:54Oh.
06:55We're just trying to find you a new dad.
06:58Or just something casual to bounce on.
07:01Okay, I want my mom to be happy.
07:04And I didn't care what dad started dating.
07:08I mean, I'm not sexist.
07:12But this is mommy.
07:14Okay.
07:15Yeah, yeah, cool.
07:16Very cool.
07:18What's very cool?
07:19Uh, Monica is my Kevin James.
07:21Oh, you a hitch.
07:23Go get it, girl.
07:25I spent some time on the apps when I was out in L.A.
07:28I was on the industry one where Jared Leto matched with himself.
07:31You need luck?
07:32I did meet someone.
07:39Okay.
07:42Hey, baby.
07:43Tell the camera how we met.
07:46It was mad romantic.
07:47Okay.
07:48So, I was eating a popsicle in the background of one of TI's Instagrams.
07:52Reggie saw it, and he told Rusty to find me.
07:56Love wins.
07:58All right.
07:59Let's get that profile set up.
08:03Here we go.
08:04Okay.
08:05So, what are you like, 6'4"?
08:08We've been out in the woods of northern New Jersey for almost six hours now.
08:12So far, Reggie has set out food, hung catnip, sprayed pheromones.
08:16Now, he is just...
08:17Name him!
08:20Name him!
08:21Yelling a cat's name into the darkness.
08:24Like Ahab calling out to Moby Dick.
08:26Come here, you whale.
08:29I haven't read it.
08:30My point is, this is the face of DeLulu.
08:35Shh.
08:35Shut up.
08:36I hear something.
08:38Name him!
08:38Come here!
08:39It's working.
08:41Whip!
08:42Dammit, it's a doll.
08:44Shh.
08:45This one's Name of Two.
08:47Stupid New Jersey.
08:49Put him with the others.
08:50Yeah, no.
08:51Come on.
08:51You gotta come with me, Greg.
08:53Okay.
08:54Everyone, no, no, no.
08:55You stay here.
08:56Name of...
08:58Name of...
08:59Name of...
08:59What?
09:01No.
09:02I don't want to talk about the cat.
09:04I want to go find it.
09:05Wait.
09:06Sorry, you're not seriously planning on going back out there, are you?
09:08After last night?
09:09Last night was a good start.
09:11Every great care finder starts with a few dogs.
09:15That's where the expression comes from.
09:17But it's a fool's errand.
09:18I don't even know what that means.
09:20Fools run errands all the time.
09:22That's why Wawa sells sushi.
09:24Namath is your white whale, right?
09:28A lost cause.
09:29So why do you think that might appeal to you so much?
09:33Hold up.
09:33You think the cat's a metaphor for something?
09:36Yes.
09:37Yes, exactly.
09:38No, you got there way quicker than I planned, but yes.
09:39No.
09:40This is all very literal.
09:41Finding Namath is just a good plan.
09:43So let's go.
09:44Well, I don't actually need any more footage of you failing to find a cat.
09:47Ready?
09:48Or of you grabbing a raccoon thinking it is a cat.
09:50Or of you panicking and throwing a raccoon at me while my mouth is open.
09:52Then I'll just go without you.
09:54But you're going to miss the moment where Ahab catches Moby Dick
09:57and the good people of New Bedford have lamps full of whale oil all winter long.
10:02Yeah, I have read it.
10:08Hey, you guys.
10:09Guess what?
10:10I actually found a match.
10:12Hey!
10:13Oh, he's Gaston, huh?
10:15Hmm, yum business daddy.
10:17Yeah, his name is Eric.
10:19And yes, I made sure he was real.
10:21His LinkedIn says that he's a tech recruiter
10:24and he's been at the same company for the last five years.
10:27Hmm, nice work, Monica.
10:29So I had my friend Lindsay at Experian pull up his credit score, 740.
10:33Not bad.
10:34Then I hit up my friend Kim at the water company
10:36and she said his usage suggests he does live alone.
10:42Yeah, I guess I'm a little nervous.
10:45Oh, because you're a virgin.
10:47What?
10:48She has a damn son.
10:49No, because I haven't been on a real date in nine years
10:53and everything I knew no longer applies
10:55because dating is phones now just like maps and restaurants,
10:58which is great because I'm going out with a guy from my phone to the...
11:05Okay, I am a feminist.
11:07I marched.
11:09But this is not a woman.
11:11Like I said before,
11:13This is mommy.
11:15I did tell Eric to pick me up here, though,
11:17so he doesn't have my home address.
11:19Smart.
11:19That way, if he's a murderer, only we get killed.
11:23He's still out there somewhere.
11:26This is delusional.
11:28Not just that he thinks he's going to find the cat,
11:30but that he thinks the cat will magically solve all of his problems.
11:35Speaking of the devil,
11:37he's probably got his head stuck in a beehive.
11:41Um, sorry, I need to take this.
11:46Yes, Dean Edwards, please.
11:47That footage of me was leaked illegally, so I...
11:51Okay, well, I think you're an embarrassment to the University of Maryland.
11:54I don't mean that, Cheryl.
11:55Obviously, I don't.
11:56I don't.
11:57You are a towering figure in the field of 19th century South American pornography.
12:01I...
12:02Okay, well, you know what?
12:03Actually, I quit.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Bye-bye.
12:11Reggie!
12:12Reggie!
12:13Where are you?
12:15Arthur Tobin?
12:16Thank God, Monica, put that air tag on you.
12:19Okay, we need to find this cat.
12:21Because it's a very good plan.
12:22Exactly, and because there's no such thing as lost causes.
12:24It is definitely not a metaphor.
12:26Nope, it is just a good plan that will get you into the Hall of Fame
12:28and make this a great documentary, and then Dean Edwards can go,
12:32I don't know what we're going to get a whole bag of them, but let's do it.
12:37NamUs!
12:38NamUs!
12:39NamUs!
12:41Okay, wish me luck, y'all.
12:42Actually, don't.
12:44Watch me cook.
12:45Welcome.
12:45Hey.
12:47Monica.
12:49Hi.
12:50Oh, you weren't kidding about the cameras.
12:53Here's something you can't do on the apps.
12:55Hug.
12:57This is what human bodies are meant to smell like, BT-dubs.
13:00What?
13:01Deodorant is a scam by Big Pharma.
13:04Eric.
13:07You're wearing...
13:08shirts.
13:09I work from home, so I rock what I like to call the body mullet.
13:13Business up top, party down below.
13:18Okay, you need to sleuth a full body.
13:21That's on her.
13:23I mean, sometimes weird dudes are good lovers.
13:27I think that's what's going on with Pete Davidson.
13:29You know, I just realized that this is all probably too soon for my son.
13:35Oh, don't be ridiculous.
13:37You two crazy kids have fun.
13:41He's perfect.
13:42I mean, one day with that guy, I shall swear off him in forever.
13:48I'm not proud of myself.
13:50Well, I know this wine bar...
13:52Oh, we can hit that up after the escape room that I booked.
13:57I know what you're thinking.
13:58Don't worry, it is not timed.
14:01Your cyber truck awaits, m'lady.
14:07I hope this date goes better than the one I went on this morning.
14:10No, you must find poor Namath.
14:12I mean, he's not in your life.
14:14Who will eat you when you die in the tub?
14:16Now, your best bet is to leave out some items of clothing with a familiar scent.
14:22Like from the owner?
14:23Yes, either one of you.
14:25Although, cats are very sensitive to power dynamics, so it should probably be whichever of you is the more sexually
14:31dominant in your relationship.
14:36I know where coach gets his dry cleaning done.
14:39Good plan.
14:43Can I help you?
14:45Ice coach Donovan's assistant.
14:48Name's Hubert.
14:49Has him dropped off any dry cleaning lately?
14:53We agreed beforehand.
14:55No accents.
14:56You're doing the accent.
14:57He dropped off some stuff yesterday.
15:01Has these things gone out?
15:03Boss man changed your mind.
15:05Him don't want to clean no more.
15:07He want them dirty.
15:10Maybe I should call Mr. Donovan.
15:12Rise!
15:13Come on to us.
15:14Rise!
15:17So the drone didn't spot any cats, but it did see this.
15:23A pink beanbag by a pool?
15:25That is former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie sunning himself.
15:32Hold on.
15:32Where is he?
15:33Sir, please.
15:34Come on, tell me.
15:35I know he lives here.
15:37No, I don't.
15:38What the hell do you want with that clothes, Dinkins?
15:41Coach, we are trying to help you out.
15:43We're trying to find your cat.
15:46Do not call me coach.
15:47What the hell are you talking about?
15:49You're trying to find this cat?
15:51Wait, no, but he's missing.
15:52Do you know how many pets in New Jersey are named Namath?
15:55Yes, we do.
15:57And that thing looks nothing like my Namath.
15:59First off, that is clearly a female cat.
16:02Look at her saucy, stupid mouth.
16:04Coach, you changed.
16:06You did this to me.
16:08What do you think?
16:09You think you're going to rescue my Namath
16:11and all of a sudden I'm going to forgive you
16:13for destroying my life?
16:15Now you got me thinking about life without Namath
16:18and I hate it.
16:22Oh, Lord, please take me first.
16:24You can send me straight to hell,
16:26but take me first.
16:30Come on, it couldn't have been that bad.
16:33I mean, his top half was on point.
16:35I don't understand any of these clues.
16:38So much math.
16:39That's not part of it.
16:40Oh, you don't know.
16:41Help!
16:42This is all your fault.
16:43Why does this always happen?
16:45And then I had to call an Uber
16:46because he cut off his thumb
16:48in the door of his Cybertruck.
16:51Oh.
16:53I think this ice cream is spoiled.
16:55Ice cream?
16:56No, this is butter.
16:58So you went on one bad date.
17:01Except now I have to start all over again.
17:04Swiping and making sure people are real
17:06and getting dressed up
17:07and getting my hopes up.
17:09I don't know how you do it.
17:11It's harder for you.
17:12You have standards.
17:13Maybe trying to get back in the game
17:14is just delusional.
17:15I might as well be in the woods
17:16searching for a lost cat.
17:18Look, as your Alex Hitch Hitchens,
17:21I need you to trust the process.
17:23Okay?
17:24You're not going to end up alone.
17:25You just might have to lower your standards.
17:28Let's take a look at Eric again.
17:30Okay?
17:30How often do you see
17:31somebody's bottom half?
17:33You know, people sit at tables a lot.
17:35After he hurt himself,
17:37he took off one of his toe shoes
17:39and shook an insurance card out of it.
17:41So, he has insurance.
17:44Build on that.
17:47She's going out with that Eric dude again.
17:50Mommy has got to stop listening to Rusty.
17:55And Mommy's special boy.
17:58He's going to do something about it.
18:01I think maybe the cat was a metaphor
18:06for both of our things.
18:08It wasn't even the right cat.
18:11It was always a lost cause.
18:13Like doing and just like that
18:15without Samantha.
18:17She was the glue.
18:18So what now?
18:21What's the point?
18:23Okay.
18:24Hear me out.
18:25Just for the sake of the movie.
18:27What if I start gambling again
18:30and you go on a bender?
18:31I mean,
18:33if it's for the film
18:35and
18:37and it's just for one weekend.
18:39One weekend tops.
18:47Hey, I overheard you
18:48and Uncle Rusty talking last night.
18:49What did I tell you about
18:50listening to grown folks' business?
18:51Jesus, don't like it.
18:53But
18:54I heard you say
18:55that you're not even as good
18:56as Kevin James.
18:57I had a low moment, okay?
18:59Well,
18:59just watch.
19:02So I got your autograph.
19:03Maybe you can give me your number.
19:07Thank you!
19:12Wait for it.
19:19Sorry I'm late.
19:22The coffee guy took forever.
19:25The coffee guy tried to give you his number?
19:31Yeah.
19:32This is it.
19:36You don't have to lower your standards
19:38and you don't need help from Rusty.
19:40You just gotta,
19:42you know,
19:43pay attention a little more.
19:45That last guy was pretty cute.
19:47I thought you'd say that.
19:49That's why I tracked him down for you.
19:51The same way I tracked down Brina for Reggie,
19:54but with less time in Atlanta nightclubs.
19:56So, is he single?
19:57Oh, he's single.
19:58And
19:59he's an astronaut.
20:01Ha, ha, ha.
20:02Unfortunately,
20:02he is already back in space.
20:04But it's only for eight years.
20:06Well, I do know where to find that coffee shop dude.
20:08Yeah, I checked on him too.
20:10He is now in prison.
20:11But for what?
20:13Mom.
20:14The bee's sexy.
20:15Oh, my God.
20:16I hate this.
20:17I do still got it.
20:20Oh, okay.
20:21Let's run this back.
20:26Hello.
20:27And here he is as promised.
20:30Oh, my God.
20:31Namath, thank you.
20:32Oh, I practice 4B, so this cat is my whole world.
20:36How did you find her?
20:37There are many reasons a lost cat might seek shelter in a stranger's home.
20:42Escaping a predator, a coming storm, hatred.
20:45Most cat behavior is motivated by hatred.
20:48People said it was impossible, but we found the cat because there are no lost causes.
20:52It was never a plan.
20:53Always a metaphor.
20:54Which means we can do anything.
20:56We can do anything.
20:57I was going to say that.
20:59Ha, ha, let's go.
21:01We're invincible.
21:01I don't get why Monica was grossed out.
21:04I'm on that new all-butter diet.
21:06The neighbor's kid told me about it.
21:08He believed that?
21:09Oh, my God.
21:11What a doofus.
21:13Wait, what did Noah say?
21:14Ha, ha, ha.
21:15Okay, he got me.
21:16Tonight, I'm going to cut his trampoline.
21:18Hmm.
21:20Good night, everybody.
21:21Good night.
21:21Good night.
