01x06 - Going Deep

[bunniefuu]

Would you like to share

what brings you in this morning?

I guess I'll start.

We work together. We're activists.

We fight for different causes.

And of late, I don't wanna be harsh,

but he hasn't really stepped up.

I just worry about the trajectory.

Where we're going, you know.

I love just being upbeat and stoked and

I know where he's going with this.

My idea was, we shave a line

down the middle of our head

to raise awareness for deforestation.

And yeah, I expected Chad to be there

and back me up and do it as well.

And now we're reinvited to the party.

I have my hair,

and he has his intellectualism.

I just feel like when I speak,

people don't pay attention to the words.

They pay attention to my hair.

Do you see other

positive traits about yourself?

I got tan ankles.

Do you feel second place to his hair?

Yeah.

Do you think it's possible that he could

show some form of sacrifice

without necessarily jumping

on the shaving-head wagon?

I don't like to be an absolutist,

but absolutely not. He's gotta shave it.

Every relationship has

its own kind of social contract, right?

And ours is we push each other

to do things that might be difficult

for the other 'cause we trust

we're looking out for one another.

You know what I mean?

He pushed me to go

to Cancun instead of Cabo

for spring break.

We'd been to Cabo six times.

It was time for a change.

And now we appreciate Cabo more

because we've been to Cancun.

He pushed me into tons

of city council meetings.

And he bailed on me

at our small dong march.

I lead it by myself. I did a good job.

I was nervous, but I crushed it.

And then he shows up late

and just gives a speech without even

talking to me. He didn't consider me once.

I'm seeing a more clearer picture here

of a codependency that's going on.

You guys are best buds, and you have

this pressure of trying to fix the world.

What if you just checked in

with yourself first,

try to not take the other person's mood

so personally. Does that make sense?

So am I allowed to go to Zedd's alone?

- What did that bring up for you?

- He can't do the speech without me.

Do you wanna ask him

what he means when he says that?

What do you mean?

I mean what I said.

I don't think you can do it without me.

He gets nervous.

At the end of the day,

if he doesn't shave the dome,

I'm going solo.

That's a pretty big ultimatum.

I can't help it. When I hear Chad talking

about how much his hair means to him,

you gotta lose that sh*t.

You're putting guidelines

on how to do our activism,

and you're making me

choose something I don't wanna do

so you can feel

like you have something over me.

- Just

- It's not that. I want you to open up.

- Go to Zedd

- Stop being a prisoner to the stoke.

And embrace who you are,

then the real stoke will come out.

You just tell the council

we're shaving our domes without asking me,

then you tell Zedd. Now you're gonna go

So go give the speech alone.

I'm sure you'll crush it.

- Guys, pause.

- No. Go, go. Just go.

Just

Wow.

Well yeah.

I'm gonna get my credit card info

from my mom real quick, and then I'll

I'll pay for it.

Okay.

- And, uh

- Could you cover for me?

Don't worry about that. It's on the house.

I just I'm sorry.

I wish you well,

and you deserve everything

that's good in the world. I love you.

Love you too.

Best of luck with the speech.

Thanks, man.

Seeing Chad and JT split up,

it was hard, dude.

They were unstoked. You know, Chad,

he was biffing it on waves.

Just taking nosedives.

Never seen that before.

JT was just lifting weights

alone on the beach.

Just staring out at the water.

That kid was sad.

It felt like they were getting a divorce.

Did they have a real reason to break up?

No, they're both doing really stupid sh*t.

The head shaving wasn't gonna make

a difference in the world.

All good things

have to come to an end, I guess.

I wasn't shocked that JT did go

do the speech alone in Vegas.

When he says he's gonna do something,

JT does something.

The thing that

just wasn't right about it,

it wasn't with Chad.

Yo, Las Vegas!

Yo, listen up, please.

There's a very special person

here tonight.

It's one of my best friends.

I asked him to come here

to tell you guys something.

So please, everybody,

make some noise for JT.

What up, club?

I'm here to talk about

something really important.

There's this place called the Amazon.

Oh, sh*t.

He biffed it.

He almost, literally almost k*lled

the energy in the club.

But he saved it with his fire dance moves.

So that

That was sick, but the speech

No.

It felt like the book

had closed on Chad and JT.

What's up, dudes?

So stoked to announce

I am now a spin instructor.

I wanna see you at my class tonight,

6:00 p.m. We're gonna burn some cals.

We're gonna work through it,

and we're gonna get toned as hell.

See you at my class tonight! What up.

Let's hop out of the saddle,

handlebar position three.

Keep your back straight.

Keep that core tight.

Breathe in through the nose,

out through the mouth.

Okay? And back in the saddle.

And back in.

I love to come here and just spin.

Just freaking spin.

The sprints kind of remind me

of a former buddy, JT.

That dude loves to do intervals.

We had a massive falling out,

but let's hop on the hill.

You know, I come in here to work.

To sweat.

To let the beat pulsate through my body.

But most importantly, I come in here

to come to terms

with my crippling loneliness.

Crank that knob up a little bit.

I'm in a pretty effed situation

right now, guys.

Let's keep pushing.

Let's do it!

Give it all you've got.

JT was like We were like boys, you know?

We were on a mission,

and we were gonna get to Zedd's rager.

We were almost there.

We had a small dong march.

And then he unloads some bullcrap on me,

and now we're no more. Let's spin!

Come on!

Anyone else who's feeling something,

bring it out. Let's hear it.

Y'all got something?

Yes, I couldn't fix

my flywheel on the bicycle.

Right.

Keep pedaling. Gonna get off the bike.

Keep it up. Keep pedaling.

I'm just gonna take a T.

Just gonna take a T.

I think we all could relate

with the idea of pain.

- Especially betrayal.

- Yeah.

Anyone can identify with it. I know I can.

Rebecca, keep pedaling.

But looking back over,

I always say it helped me

to be the man that I am today.

It's not about suppressing

your anger or sadness.

It's about letting it out.

A relationship is about

communication, you know?

Ask yourself if this person

is the root of your tree,

or is he just a leaf

that just falls and comes temporarily?

Thank you, guys.

Wow.

- Hello. JT. Pleasure to meet you.

- Yeah.

- How's it going?

- Good.

JT's been out of school for a while,

so whenever I come across

and meet with students like that,

I try to find out what their motivation is

for coming back to college,

'cause it's not an easy thing to do.

- Is there any courses related to that?

- To pro wrestling?

He seems he's committed to this idea

of coming to college, and I think he knows

he's got some things

that might look interesting on paper.

Wait, wait.

You got canceled for being r*cist?

Yeah.

Okay. What's that about?

So we see a variety of people,

but, uh, he's certainly stand-out.

"Frequently reprimanded for racing cars

with other students in the parking lot."

"And in one instance,

got into a physical altercation

which resulted in suspension."

I haven't bullied in a long time.

Although my friend would counter that

and say I bullied him into this haircut,

but that was for a greater good.

You still graduated. How do you think you

were able to graduate with all this stuff?

My dad being on the board

at the second school

definitely gave me some cover.

Okay. Every school

is not the right fit for everyone.

You know what I mean?

It could be challenging

sitting in a room for an hour,

taking notes.

- All of that

- That sounds brutal.

- Based off my transcripts

- Yeah.

what's the likelihood I get in?

If that was the only thing

I was going off of

- It's probably pretty tough.

- I need this.

Even if we say, "No streaking,"

you'd be good with that?

No streaking?

Yeah. That might be frowned upon.

What are the other things

I gotta stop doing?

- Okay. Parking lot racing.

- I'm ready to let go of that.

Yeah. That's cool. That's good.

So am I in?

- You gotta apply first, like I said.

- Right. Formalities.

- Yeah.

- Understood, but I'll be in there.

When I graduate, I'll make eye contact

with you. It'll be meaningful.

Okay. Good deal.

- Good meeting you.

- Good to meet you. It was a pleasure.

There you go.

Hoo!

Okay, dudes, bad news. I got fired

from my cycling job for "oversharing,"

but the good news is, I'm volunteering

to teach kids to learn how to read.

So if you have any kids, what up?

Let's read!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi, I'm Mr. Chad. How are you guys?

- Hi, Mr. Chad.

Thank you for letting me

come in today and read with you guys.

In the movie, we have two main characters,

Brian and Dom.

Dom is played by Vin Diesel.

Brian is played by Paul Walker,

and he has really cool blond hair.

- Just a lot of swag

- Like yours?

- What's that?

- Like yours?

Yeah. Thank you so much. Okay.

The Fast and the Furious,

directed by Rob Cohen.

All right, let's dive in.

"You're the last person

on Earth I thought I'd find here."

"I thought if I somehow

found myself in your good graces,

you might let me keep my car."

"You're on my good side,

but your car stays in my garage."

"You drive like a pro. You a wheelman?"

"Nah."

"Professional car booster?"

"No, never. So what about you?

You ever do time?"

"Three years, San Quentin."

"You'll find me

six feet under before I go back."

Whoa.

That's heavy.

That was really sick. Great job.

Okay, so, Brian and Dom, it becomes clear,

once they get to know each other,

that they're kindred spirits.

What is kindred spirit?

It's two dudes who realize they're, like,

born to be boys.

And they, like, understand

that if they join forces,

they can, like, do anything.

So at the end,

Brian admits to Dom

that he's an undercover cop.

And Dom feels betrayed.

Why does your face look so red?

- My face got red?

- Yeah.

- If Dom asked Brian to shave his head

- Yeah, I'd do that.

- You'd do that?

- Like, the whole thing?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I'd do that.

- You have to do it. No backsies, nothing.

- What?

If Dom was, like, to Brian,

"Either you shave a line

down the middle of your dome

or we're not best friends anymore."

I don't care what I look like.

I just wanna make them happy all the time.

You think it's massively uncool to care

more about your hair than your friend?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

It feels like he or she's, like,

family to me and like

Imagine that you abandoned a friend,

and they had nowhere to go,

and they felt lost.

They didn't know where to go,

and they're waiting for somebody like you

to go and take them back home.

Yeah.

So

- So, um

- All right, you guys can go play.

No! I'm gonna get inside.

Oh, sh*t.

What beautiful plants

I have in my house ♪

It's such a beautiful day today.

- Hey, hun!

- Hey. Um

I'm looking for JT. Have you seen him?

I I really need to talk to him.

He's not home.

He's going to college.

- College?

- Imagine that.

- He's 33.

- I know!

That's JT to you, honey.

But he told me that he went

to the city council meeting

to say his goodbye speech.

- Right now?

- Right now.

If you hurry, you'll find him there.

All right. Cool. Thank you.

- You're welcome!

- I love the plants too!

- Thanks.

- Bye-bye!

Yeah, my son

and his ideas.

You could feel the energy on that day,

when JT was going to give

his final speech to city council.

JT's mom booked him

a first-class ticket to Florida State.

Chad had no time.

He had no time.

If he was going to get to JT,

it had to be at that city council,

'cause he was gonna get

on that flight right afterwards.

Next up, Mr. JT Parr.

What up, council? I'm JT Parr.

It's with a heavy heart that I hereby

offer my resignation as an activist.

It's been tremendous to work with you.

I've learned so much about

what makes America awesome.

You guys always gave me

my minute-thirty to speak.

You never cut me off,

even when you didn't agree with me,

because you understood

a bro's right to be heard.

But I can't do it anymore.

I can't do it alone.

I miss my dog.

I didn't realize when I asked him

to shave his dome for the Amazon

that I was also doing it because

I was jealous of his sick flow.

Total shmole move on my part,

and I have to take responsibility for it.

That's why I'm going to college

to figure out what I want

to do with my future.

I'm going to Florida State. Go, Noles.

Goodbye.

Later.

What up? Can I speak?

- A public comment.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

We're not taking any more

submissions for public comment.

Oh, crap.

Our final speaker is

Mr. Chad Kroeger.

Huh?

What up, council? My name is Chad Kroeger.

I'm a former activist and stokelord.

Recently, my buddy JT asked me

to do something I swore I'd never do.

Shave my dome.

I thought it was too big of a flex.

So I bailed on him and our friendship.

And during my time of intraspectrum,

I've learned something.

Activism isn't about

sick Vegas ragers,

or having perfect hair,

or helping the environment.

What activism is really about,

is about being there

for your boys and not bailing.

Because without the sanctity of the squad,

there is no activism.

This is for JT.

- Hey, dude.

- What's up, dude?

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you too.

I don't understand.

How did they get my name on the list?

Whenever I come here, I put your name

on the list, just in case you show up.

You son of a b*tch.

Moving on to our first agenda item,

the Travel, Trade and Tourism

Committee report.

When Chad stepped up,

had his bro's back, shaved his head

for the rainforest,

it went viral.

For the rainforest.

Bros from all over

started shaving their domes,

filming it, posting it on the Internet.

Doing what Chad and JT set out to do,

raise awareness.

Chad shaved his head. It was great.

He looked like a dumbass just like JT did.

That was, I guess, the final thing

to get them uncanceled.

That was pretty epic.

- What up, fam?

- Let's go!

I got the bags, baby.

The fans came back.

The trust came back.

Strike.

Having the whole squad together

is like the best family reunion ever.

- Dammit!

- Grilled cheeses!

- No way!

- Thanks, mom.

- You're welcome.

- Thanks.

I'm a proud mama of a lot of boys.

Stoke was high.

Everyone was fired up.

It's what life's all about, dude.

We're living the dream.

Did we get enough shots

of me calling them dumbasses?

All right.

Hey, what's up, sir?

Can we get you to sign our petition?

It's a petition to allow people

to talk sh*t about e-scooters.

We had a falling-out because

we were censoring each other emotionally,

and we learned the value

of open communicash.

You could sign this,

and rip it on e-scooters,

and talk all the sh*t you want.

- I don't give a f*ck about e-scooters.

- Hell, yeah.

Nice, dude.

I gave up on them. I've been hit by cars.

- While on an e-scooter?

- Yeah.

- They don't see you.

- I see you.

All right, thanks.

- I kick them over all the time.

- That's awesome, dude.

I used to take them to the pier

and throw them in the ocean.

Oh, dude.

They said a lot of hurtful things,

but I love it.

You don't have to talk sh*t on e-scooters.

You can talk sh*t on anything.

- f*ck Caesar salad! Straight up.

- There it is.

- Let's go!

- None of that sh*t.

Those are ugly shirts.

You wanna talk sh*t on anything?

We'd love to hear your opinion.

Um Okay, so, I think Fast and Furious

is a shitty movie.

What?

I'd rather you not say that

about that movie.

I think it's sh*t. Sorry.

That was some really

great open communicash.

What the f*ck's her problem?
