[screams]

- Uh-huh.
- And how about here?

[screams]

Okay.

First, stop doing six months
of flossing

the night before you see me.
You can't just catch up.

Agree to disagree.

Second, your wisdom teeth
are infected.

- They need to come out.
- What? When?

- Today.
- [chuckles] No, I can't.

Today is the Chili Cook-off at
the station, and I'm the judge.

There's literally chili
in those teeth.

They have to come out.

Doc, listen, I've had
these teeth all my life.

They fill out my mouth.

They give me
a nice long chew-span.

I told you to do this
three years ago.

Well, why didn't we?

You said you were judging
a Pancake Cook-off.

That's because I'm
a great Cook-off judge.

And now they're infected.

Fine. Let's do it.

- All right.
- I'll get you set up

with plenty of pain K*llers
for post-surgery.

I don't need it. I mean,
it's just oral surgery, right?

It's, like,
the lamest surgery there is.

- [chuckles]
- Careful.

You could wake up with no teeth
in your mouth.

What?

- [drill whirring]
- [chuckling]

[slow-motion evil laughter]

The hunter-gatherers
have returned!

And we come bearing
great quantities of meat.

And sour cream.

What are you watching, Cap?

It's this cooking show
"Chef U.C.K."

Ooh, I love that show.

Somebody's reliving
the glory days.

- Which ones?
- The Chili Cook-off, man.

Just admit it.
You retired too soon.

And now there's
a new sheriff in town.

Two-time reigning Champion

fighting Granny Smith!

- [chuckles]
- [imitating crowd roaring]

Okay, okay.

I crushed you at
the Chili Cook-off many times

before I retired.

That was when I was a boy.

Face the man now.
You see?

Yeah. Well, my seven Chili
Championships are behind me,

and I like being retired.

You're like Jordan, retiring
at the top of your game.

That's right. Because there
were no more challenges,

and there still wouldn't be.

- Whoa. Whoa.
- Okay.

And this year is gonna be
a little bit different

because I got my uncle's
famous chili recipe,

and I'm gonna blow
y'all out of the water.

It's called... wait.

It's called... oh, my God.

You should try
a memory word-train.

You say a word

and it makes you think
of the next word and so on

until you get back to the thing
you were trying to remember.

- Oh, okay.
- Yeah, I heard that.

So you just, like,
say it like a word-train.

Like, like, chili, chili...
Chili dog, dog, doghouse,

housework, work, work pants,
pants pocket...

Hey, my car keys. I didn't
even know these were lost.

Thanks, Andy.
That works.

Glad I could help, I guess.

In honor of the 25th Annual
A Shift Chili Cook-off,

I got us a little upgrade.

[chuckles]

[angelic choir singing]

both: Oh, sh*t.
The Chili Chalice.

[chuckles]

I had them add some effects
down at TakeHomeA Trophy.

It was 7 bucks.


can split that or whatever.

Man, look, Cap,
you're all over this thing.

Chili with a hint of
chocolate to melt your heart.

Oh, yeah. That one
that gave you the munchies.

But look at this new
blank name space, though.

I had them add another base

so we can add
more names to it.

All that empty space
after my name

makes the Penisi era
look like ages ago.

And I'm okay with because
I'm retired. End of story.

Hey, where's our judge?

Lucy's driving him
from the dentist right now.

The dude just got
all his wisdom teeth removed.

- Is he gonna be able to judge?
- You tell me.

Lucy just went live-streaming
on "Boi-oi-oing."

[babbles incoherently]

Lower seals! Lower seals!
[laughter]

Hey, it's a safari.
Wanna go on a safari?


They got lions and tigers.

They got rhinoceroses.
They got wildebeests.


Often they have safaris
on the Serengeti.


Have you ever been
to Serengeti before?


Man, these videos
are so embarrassing.

I'm telling you, that's a good
lesson to young people,

- though, right?
- Yeah.

Stay away from the dentist.

No, that's not the lesson.

I'm gonna get one of those
squirrel suits.

You wear
a squirrel suit before?

No, Dad.

You can fly off cliffs
with 'em. They're skin tight.

- Super tight. It's skin tight.
- [laughing]

Lower seals! Lower seals!

I don't know why the seals
won't go down.

Wow, you are Boing-ing
like crazy.

Lucy, is this real life?

[upbeat music]

Hey. Whoo!

- Throw me in the ball pit.
- He is lunchmeat.

- What's up, Eddie!
- Hey.

You wanna ride the
rollercoaster with me?

- Oh!
- Whoo.

- Ah!
- [chuckling] Yeah.

- [laughs]
- That's a good one.

- Hey, hey!
- Hey.

- I got an owl box.
- I know.

- You know I got an owl box?
- I helped you put it up.

- I helped you put it up.
- I put it in my backyard.

I have a rodent problem.
You know rodents?

Yes.

Owls eat rabbits, gophers,
skunks, moles, monkeys.

Do you have monkeys
on your land?

- Yeah, gopher monkeys.
- Gopher monkeys?

Yeah. You ever seen
gopher monkeys before?

- No. What do they eat?
- Underground bananas?

- They eat rocks.
- A rock monkey?

I wish things could always
be this way.

Hey, I saw you
on the social media.

- The social media, huh?
- Yeah.

Well, did you see
that I was kind of blowing up?

- You know, there are people...
- Hey, hey.

Who don't like
those kind of videos.

Did you know I got
an owl box?

- Especially dentist ones.
- Hey, I got an owl box.

- And this is one of them.
- I know.

I helped you
put up the owl box.

- I don't mean to interrupt.
- Go ahead.

Do you know how hard it is

to get a video to spring
on Boi-oi-oing?

He got me 100 re-bounces.
I mean, if he keeps this up,

he could be
the next Cranberry Juice Guy.

- How come my legs don't go up?
- Did you ask his permission?

- Yeah.
- I mean, of course I asked him.

- You like pickles?
- I love pickles.

- Dill?
- Dill, fried.

- Gherkins?
- How do you not love this?

- Just be careful.
- I got it. I got it.

Nice one, Chief.

- Whoa, who's this guy?
- Andy.

- Is he real, this guy?
- Yeah, he's real.

Yeah. Hey, are you excited
about a little Chili Cook-off?

Oh, it's gonna be
super awesome.

- Oh, yeah.
- I've been watching it on TV.

No, we're gonna be
doing it here.

No, it's been on ESPN.

I was thinking that maybe

I'd use a recipe
from the islands.

- Hawaii.
- Yeah.

But do you like pineapple?

- I like in piña coladas.
- That's great.

- Do you like piña colada?
- I do.

One time when she was


I caught Lucy drinking
piña colada.

Oh, God.

- Such a great story.
- Yeah, thanks, man.

Well, that's all
I needed to hear. Goodnight.

It's got a lot
of vitamins in it.

Great.

Hey, when
will I see you again?

- Still gonna be here.
- Lucy! Lucy!

Hey, are we gonna do
the morning meeting today?

- When is today?
- Um, now.

- You don't have to, Chief.
- No, let's do it.

Morning meeting?
That's my favorite thing.

- Oof.
- Be careful, Chief.

[all groaning]

Kinda looks
like a Fruit Roll-Up.

Granny,
is he supposed to do that?

No.

How much more is there?

- Almost done.
- [groans]

- Ugh.
- That hurt.

- Oh, God.
- Ugh.

- Good. So that's done.
- Enough of that, right?

Right now I'm gonna open
the floor up to questions.

Hey, if we're doing
questions, can I...

Yeah, muscles. Go.

If you had to get rid of one
fire fighter out of all us...

- Uh-oh.
- Be honest.

- Would it be Andy?
- Hey.

It definitely would not
be Andy

because I often use
his toothbrush.

[chuckles]
He didn't know it,

but, you know, sometimes when
I don't have my toothbrush,

I use his toothbrush.

What did you say?

I find you to be
the most hygienically sound.

- [chuckles]
- What do you mean?

Like, he got
the cleanest mouth?

Yeah, he's got
a super clean mouth.

Look at him. He's like
a little, round bar of soap.

That is so weird, Dad.

You know what
I'm talking 'bout?

I'm gonna change the subject.

- Hey, Chief, I have a question.
- Yeah, go, you in the front.

Will we be getting raises
this year?

Will we be getting r*cist
this year?

Young lady,
you're new to this department,

but that's bullshit.

- No, no, no.
- Raises this year.

- Braces?
- Andy could use some braces,

if you know what
I'm talking about.

- Whoa!
- That's rude.

Chief, c'mon,
you gotta lay off with that.

What is happening?

- Raises!
- An increase in salary.

Oh, raises.

I'll tell you what, if I were
Andy and I was getting a raise,

I'd use the money
to straighten my teeth out.

Okay, okay. C'mon, c'mon.

- You know what I'm saying?
- No offense.

- Is this a roast?
- Chief.

And you, stop putting lemon
in your hair, Ike.

- What? I'm not putting...
- I don't put lemon in my hair.

It makes your hair
a weird color, bro.

Chief, you need some water.

Just man to man,
I'm telling you.

Don't use a straw.

The suction can cause
dry socket.

- Ooh, dry socket.
- I don't even know what that is.

What's dry socket?

It's when suction pops
a blood clot inside the wound.

You know what this room
could use? An owl box.

C'mon. C'mon, dude. C'mon.

- An owl box, just an owl box.
- Do you have an owl box?

How did I not just film
all of that?

- Mm.
- Hoo.

- ♪ Ah ♪
- Oh, he's back.

♪ [vocalizing high notes] ♪

This is great, man.

We should have
a Chili Cook-off, right?

That's a good idea.

- Should we?
- Yeah.

- Here's one thing, though.
- See that blanks space?

What happened
to all your champion-shipses?

I added a base plate to put
more names for more winners.

Yeah, but all the blank space

makes it look like
he's never won anything before.

[laughter]

Right? Huh? I'm gonna go have
some pudding out of this, okay?

- Go for it.
- I'll see you later.

Okay, take her easy.

- I'll see you guys later.
- What's up, cup?

- All right.
- [whistles]

You guys,
we could still do this.

Chief's gonna be back
to his old self soon.

Is he even gonna be able
to chew, though?

Yeah, he'll be fine
in a couple hours.

We should definitely
do the Chili Cook-off.

- We?
- Yeah, we.

If Jordan could unretire,
then so can I.

And I'm gonna join this year's
Cook-off.

And I'm gonna kick
all y'all's asses.

So this is a recipe
from my Hawaiian ancestors,


and Chief says
he already loves it.


So I'm excited.
[chuckles]

- But here is the big story.
- Coming out of retirement,

seven-time champion
Captain Eddie Penisi.

That's right,
seven time champion. Seven.

What's it feel like
to be back?

It's like putting on
an old slipper. Whoo!


[pot clatters]
[laughter]

Hey, Lucy.

If you're gonna do a show,
introduce the star.

- Come down here.
- Oh, come on.

My apologies. Granny, tell us
what's going down here.

Well, as two-time
defending champ,

I'm getting a little creative,

so I will be making a chili
with a zesty cheese base.


- [imitates buzzer]
- That sounds like a queso.

A chili can be a lot of things,
but it's definitely not yellow.

- All right.
- Ike, what's in your chili?

Uh, it's a mystery. So.

Ooh,
he's playing it coy, folks.

No, no, it's actually
a mystery to me.

I have no idea 'cause I don't
have my uncle's recipe.

I lost it, so I don't know
what to do with...

Ike, you should use
the memory word-train.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Just give me one second.

Recipe, recipe book,
book, book smart,


smartass, assh*le,
whole onion.


Whole onion.
That's it.

I got tons of whole onions.

[chuckling]
Hope you like it spicy.


All right, Rachael Ray,
your turn.

Okay.

I have a recipe and I have
a special ingredient in it


that is going to blow
the tits off this place.


And it's vegetarian.

Vegetarian as in turkey meat?

No. It's a plant-based beef
substitute called

Implausible Meat.
[bell rings]

[laughter]

Do you know who the judge is?

We call him Chief because
he likes chicken and beef.

Well, over the past
few months, I've been mixing

Implausible Meat
into his burgers and meatloaf.

I've reconditioned his palate
and he has no idea.

That's implausible.

Clever girl.

Son of a bitch.

That's cheating.

It's the long game, Granny.

Whatever. You chilennials
can have your fake meat

and your pineapple
and your queso.

I just stick to a good,
old-fashioned chili.

Keep It Simple Stew-pid.

I think I know
what my Dad likes.

Well, I've known your Dad

since his cholesterol was
under 300.

- You knew him in the womb?
- [laughter]

Hey, Chief,
we were just talking about you.

- Your ears must be burning.
- [groaning]

Why's everybody
standing around?

It doesn't take all day
to bake chili.

Oh. I think his anesthesia
wore off.

- What's that?
- Fruit in your chili?

- Yeah.
- Hot fruit's disgusting.

But I thought you said you
were gonna like this, Chief.

I'm calling it Beaña Colada.

I never said that.

Fruit should be eaten
at room temperature

and only when
your wife tells you to.

Hey, Chief,

remember coming back
from the dentist this morning?

- I remember everything.
- You guys are lucky

nobody video'd me
because it would be trouble.

There's nothing worse
than those stupid videos

with those pathetic idiots
coming home from the dentist.

- They do get a lot of boings.
- It's an invasion of privacy!

Ow.
[sighs]

The pain in my mouth
is getting exponentially worse.

And I'm hungry.
So we're gonna do

this chili contest
in exactly one half hour.

[groaning]

Hey, is your dad
taking his medication?

They gave him pain pills
but he won't take 'em.

- Why not?
- He says he doesn't need them.

- Pineapple chili.
- What was I thinking?

Ugh.
No more pain meds.

- Hey, don't sweat it, Lucy.
- Followers shmollowers.

What does social media
really get you?

Yeah, it's not like
somebody's in their office

right now saying, "Hey, get
that Lucy McConky on the line.

We need to give her
a million dollars."

- [chuckles]
- Yeah, I guess so.

- Oh, my God.
- This stuff sucks.


Implausible Meat?
Ugh.


Tastes like a house plant
took a sh*t.


Okay, that's rude.

I really thought Lucy McConky
would be the new face

of Implausible Meat,
but I guess not.

She doesn't even have
a Boi-oi-oing account any more.

Oh, what a loser.

Reach out to that firefighter
in Pittsburgh.

The one who made Implausible
Mince Meat Pie for her station.

- She will be, like, so dope.
- Good idea, Becky.

Oh, and she has a cat
named Penguin.

Our demo's gonna go insane.

Oh, my God. I would've
never thought of that.

- I know.
- So innovative.

Too bad, Lucy McConky.

You will never know
how close you came.

Buh-bye.
