01x05 - He's a big boy

[bunniefuu]

narrator:
Previously on "Blowing LA"...

- Adeel and I are throwing
a fabulous summer party.

I'm an excellent host,
let me tell you.

[laughs]

- Ted,
I've got my little whisp.

- What is that?
- My blonde moment.

Cardi's whipped cream.

- Okay.

- Oh, my God,
it has vodka in it.

- It does not.
- Yeah.

Oh, my God. sh*t.

Oh, f*ck.
I didn't know what this was.

- You just wrecked
30 years of sobriety.

- WTF?
Did he do this on purpose?

- We've had at least
three conversations

about Ted being sober.

- I'm so amazed
that you shared that.

- So then why the f*ck did
you put alcohol in his glass?

- I am so sorry.
- Okay, we gotta go.

I don't even wanna
have this conversation.

- I am so sorry.

- My husband is
really, really upset.

- Yeah.
- I'm gonna go.

- You have to see it
from our point of view.

- Right,
but you're sober, right?

- What does that
have to do with it?

- Well, what it has
to do with it is,

if someone is putting alcohol
in your drink,

being just nice and being...
hold on, let me finish.

- No, because
I didn't know it was alcohol.

- No, no, no, I'm talking.
Be quiet.

- I beg your pardon.

Who are you?

- I'm talking.
- Uh, no you're not.

- Uh, yes I am. Bye-bye.
- You're not talking anymore.

No, no, no, no, no.
- Get out of my sight.

Leave, b*tch.

- I'm a nice guy
until you provoke me.

And guess what?
I've been provoked.

This party is f*cking lame.
Are you guys

having a good time?
I know you're not.

It's the worst party
I've ever been to.

- f*cking loser.

- With your fake-a*s
Gucci pants.

Fake, fake, fake, fake,
fake Gucci b*tch.

[tense music]

♪ ♪

- Get the f*ck out, Ted!

- What happened?
- f*cking loser.

You wanna leave?
Get the f*ck out.

Come at us with fire,
you're gonna get fire,

and from me,
ten times worse.

Don't f*ck with me, fellas.

Like, I'm sorry. No, I hate
when people attack you...

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You need to fill me in.

- When you're just being nice.

Like, you guys all know Kim.

Kim would never do something...
- So we...we...

- Hold on, honey.
- We have two signature drinks.

- Kim would never
do something mean

or, like, trying to,
you know, dig at someone.

So Ted and Jason call us over,
and they're like,

"We have something
to talk with you guys.

We have a little mishap."
And we're like, "Oh, okay.

Yeah.
Like, what's going on?"

And Jason goes,
"You guys know Ted is sober.

Kim, why did you pour alcohol
in his drink?"

I know Kim.
Like, that's his party thing

to make people
feel comfortable.

He'll be like,
"Have some more vodka."

"Have some more of this,"
you know?

Like, that's just...he's trying
to, like, encourage everyone

to have a good time.
- Yeah.

- So they try and, like,
twist it into, like,

"Oh, you know he's sober."

- Babe,
it's even more than that.

- No, hold on.
Let me. I'm pissed.

- It was whipped cream.
- Okay.

- It was whipped cream
on the drink?

- Yes, that was
our signature drink.

- Right.
- Oh, and there's alcohol

in the whipped cream.

- We didn't realize that.
- Oh.

- Gotcha.
- That's an innocent mistake.

- The second we...
- It was a honest mistake.

- The second we realized that,
I grabbed it from Ted.

- Yeah.
- And said, "I am so sorry.

I did not realize."
- Absolutely.

- You wouldn't mess
with anyone's sobriety.

both: No.
- That's, like,

the most evil thing to do,
and that is not Kim.

That is not you.
- You guys all know him.

- I can't imagine

that Kim would ever mess
with somebody's sobriety.

That's just
the lowest of the low.

- Ted did not let me finish,
and he keeps talking over me.

You guys know,
nobody f*cking talks over me.

- No, but clearly,
he's still in a rough place

in his sobriety that maybe...
- I don't give a f*ck.

That's his own journey.

Like, get over it.
- Exactly, exactly.

- So he literally...
he, like, gets up.

He had his drink.
I swear he was, like,

about to throw it on me,
and I was like,

ooh, b*tch,
try and throw it on my Gucci.

Like, I will...
Mm-mm, no.

You will make
the east Palo Alto come out.

Like...
[laughs]

- In my opinion, I feel
like Adeel is very valid

what he's saying
in the moment.

I'm the same way as, like,

you come for my partner,

I'm gonna go
for the freakin' jugular.

Like, that's what you get.

- I can't imagine someone sober
having this challenge.

- Yeah.
- It's, like, insane.

- Yeah, you didn't mean
to do anything.

Don't feel bad, honey.
- You are such a good person.

- You didn't mean it.
You didn't mean it.

- No.
- You didn't mean it.

- 'Cause honestly...
- You didn't mean it.

- I don't know.
- You're fine.

- You know, Kim is always,
like, so in charge

and so strong.

I keep saying it,
but he's a Leo, he's a lion.

He's my little lion.

It was really hard for me
to see Kim crying like that.

Honey.
- You didn't do this

intentionally,
and the fact that he took it

to that level...
- Honey.

- Yeah.
- You wouldn't mean that.

- He shouldn't have taken it
to this level.

- It's so distasteful
for him to be screaming.

- First of all, I never cry.
[laughs]

And not 'cause
I'm a cold-hearted person.

It really takes a lot
for me to get down there.

- He was literally screaming,
and I was like,

"Ted, like, let me talk."

- You know what,
they're trying to comfort me,

but I don't feel better.

- This is all
over the whipped cream?

- Yes.
- Well, but no.

But we did a signature drink.
- Yeah, I know.

- And we didn't even think
about people that were sober.

- So rewind back.

Kim Vo was putting this
whipped cream in Ted's drink.

That is f*cked up.

- Like, the Vo Blonde.

Like, "Oh, do you want
the Vo Blonde?

Let's spray a little vanilla."

- We thought it would be fun.
- Yeah.

You guys need
to get your boss in order.

- No, how about you guys

get yourself in order?
- No, how about you

throw yourself in the pool

with that tacky-a*s outfit,
b*tch?

- Okay.
- Yeah, get the f*ck out!

- Okay, bye, girl.
- Get the f*ck out.

- Girl, no one's worried
about your little...

- Get out.

- Your f*cking
jeweled-a*s, ugly-a*s pants.

- They're Gucci. You wish
you could afford these.

You wish, b*tch.
- Oh.

The child went straight
for my clothes.

[chuckles]
I was just like, wow.

Like, you're gonna
really be that petty.

Okay.
- Get the f*ck out.

Get your boss in order.
- Okay, honey.

Come over here.
Why don't you stand up?

Why don't you stand up?
- Don't make me call security.

Okay, call security on
your f*cking broke-a*s party...

- Sweetie, leave.
- And your fake-a*s pants.

- With your broke-a*s teeth.
- Shut the f*ck up.

- With your broke-a*s teeth?
- Shut the f*ck up.

"I'm gonna call security."

I'm like,
"You don't have security."

You don't even have good food!

And you have
these goofy-a*s pants on.

I'm done.

- You're not wanted here with
your f*cking tacky-a*s manbun.

- It's tacky?
She's f*cking tacky.

- Go drown in the pool.
- She's tacky.

- Get the f*ck out.
- They don't know

what happened.
- I don't give a f*ck.

He was about to say something
in support of Ted.

- I think,
at the end of the day,

regardless of what anyone's
having their input,

I think that you and Ted
need to have a private chat.

- Good call.
- I know that he was

really upset about it
'cause he is 25 years sober.

And I'm just...I hear you.
- Literally...

- Look at...Adeel, look at me.
Look at me.

- No, here's the thing.

If you are sober,
be responsible

for your own actions.

- I think Adeel is obviously
sticking up for Kim

but then also saying things
that are kinda rude.

Yes, you can be upset
at whoever you want,

but there's a way
to handle it, right?

- All I know is he didn't do it
with bad intention.

- No, I grabbed it back.
- And what pissed me off is

Jason and Ted call us over
to try and make it into, like,

How dare you, Kim,"

instead of just hearing out
and saying...

- I don't think
that you had bad intentions,

don't get me wrong, at all...
- Oh, my God.

- Yeah, I honestly
don't think you do,

but that one over there does.

- I know, and we thank you.

- Yeah, like,
just calm her t*ts over there.

- That one over there
is over here,

and you are over here.
- I'm not talking to you.

- So don't get it twisted,
b*tch.

- So shut the f*ck up.
- Here and here.

- What the f*ck is up there?
Is this here? This?

- Get the f*ck out.
Why are you still here?

Like, leave.

- Someone like that

needs to learn a lesson.

I wasn't the lesson.

Karma is a b*tch,
and she's after you.

- Team Vo!
Team Vo!

Team Starring,
enough is enough!

A mistake was made,
but a party is to be had!

Let's get it going, honey.
I'm sick of it!

Oh, yeah!
- Put it in my mouth.

Put it...put it in my mouth.

- Nothing wrong with a little
whipped cream, all right?

You know...oh, God, sorry.

Here you go.
Have one, honey.

- There's booze in that?
- Oh.

Wait, there's booze in this?
- Exactly!

- I'm sober!

[laughter]
- Wait, he took all of it.

- I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
- Oh, this sh*t is so...

- I mean, Christ.
- I mean, like, where are we?

Not gonna cry over
a little spilled cream, honey...

a little spiked cream.

You know, it's my instinct
to bring some humor

and some fun
and to be the peacemaker.

After all, I am Buddhist.
I chant every single day.

And I saw these souls
struggling with each other,

not getting along,
and I said,

this may be a good time
to bring some humor, light,

and levity
to the situation.

He does need to start back
to day one.

- Robby.
- I'm kidding.

Come on!
- Robby. Robby.

- If I could,
I would ring my gong

and start chanting
"nam myoho renge kyo,"

but there was no gong,

so I went for the
whipped cream shots instead.

- Open your mouth.
- Miscommunication.

Mercury's in retrograde.

Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

- In my opinion,
it's f*cked up.

The situation was messed up.

And yes,
Robby's that person to be like,

oh, you know, like,
showing face,

whatever the excuse is.

But it's like,
maybe, like,

he's trying
to find another home.

And maybe that's with them.

- Let's get a drink.
Let's get a drink.

- [groans]
- Oh, whatever.

- ♪ Can you handle me? ♪

♪ No, I don't think
you're ready ♪

♪ Can you handle me? ♪

♪ No, I don't think
you're ready ♪

- Day after the pool party,
and let's be real,

I mean, we partied, we drank
a lot at the pool party.

And then we continued
the party afterwards,

just between you and I,

and all of a sudden,
I get a call.

Emergency salon meeting.
Can we be there ASAP?

I'm a busy boy.

I'm the busiest hairdresser
in LA, as far as I'm concerned,

but they're my bosses,
I like them,

so I arrive at the salon.

- I thought
they were over there.

Hi, guys.

- You guys, I'm so sorry
that I'm eating.

Is that okay?
- Eat.

- What did you say, sorry?
- Eat if you gotta eat.

- I haven't eaten all day.
- You should eat.

- Okay, I'm sorry,
I don't wanna be rude.

- No.
- Eat if you gotta eat.

- So, um...
- Wait.

I just wanna say this first.

I appreciate you being here
and rearranging your schedules,

so thank you very much
for your time today

because this was last minute.

That's just
what I wanted to say.

- Thank you.

- Can someone tell me
the definition of "team"?

- I think
the definition of team...

is supporting each other,
- Yeah.

- Having each other's back.
- Yes.

- Being authentic in a team
environment and being real.

That's how I feel about a team.
- Anyone else? Laura?

- I think a team is a unit
that sticks up for each other

and is there for one another
and is a family.

- Ted and Jason sit us down.

They open the meeting
by asking us,

"What is the definition
of 'team'?"

Luckily I read my horoscope
that morning, and it said,

"Keep your mouth shut,
Sagittarius."

- So...

- Oh, um...

- How are you feeling, Jason?

- Can I give you a hug?
- I would rather wait.

- You'd rather wait? Okay.
- But thank you.

I appreciate it.
- Okay, I'm so sorry.

When someone cries, I just...
I'm so sorry.

- I think it would
just make me cry more.

What? Oh, it will? I'm sorry.
It's like a mom thing.

I just, like,
wanna just, like, hold you.

- Yes, thank you.
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

- So yesterday...

was not a fun party.

- Breathe.
- Yeah, yeah.

In case you don't know
what happened,

Kim put...

liquor in Ted's drink.

Ted has been sober
for over 25 years,

and I'm really, really,
really proud of Ted.

And I took it very personally.

And the reason that
we asked you guys about team

is because you all knew
when we left

how upset we were.

None of you came out to
the street to see how we were,

to check on us,

and what I've heard through
the grapevine is instead,

it was like a hen group

cackling and gossiping.

- I wanna tell you
what happened when you left

'cause I wanna...

like, you saying that hurts me.

But one,
I didn't come looking for you

because
there was so much going on.

And I didn't even know
that you guys left.

I had no idea.

I mean,
I was getting my palm read.

And then by the time...
- You have a phone, right?

- I do, and I'm sorry.
- Okay, okay.

So it would've taken
just a minute...

- Yes, you're right.
- A second,

to even just text me
to see how I'm doing.

- No, and you're 100% right.
You are.

- And I'm sorry...
- That's all it took.

I just needed to say that.
- No, and you know what?

You are right.
- Because you know what?

I don't need for you
to tell me I'm right

because I know I'm right.
- Yeah.

- And the cackling
and the sh*t that went on

at the table that he was at
is so disrespectful.

I cannot
even f*cking believe it.

I am so triggered that you
have no idea what it's like.

I had a physical reaction
in my body

when I sucked that damn sh*t!

I literally had an itch
all over my body.

Have any of you known anyone

that has gone through
and struggled with addiction?

So you know how serious it is.

It is not bullshit.

I am so upset at each
and every one of you right now

that you would not be here
if it wasn't for me.

And I can't believe
you would do that.

Not even check on me.

- I can see why he's let down
by some of the team, for sure.

I wouldn't put myself
in that category,

nor Coco.

Not a text message.
And Robby, you say, "Oh, yeah.

"I've been partying
all night long.

I woke up drunk."

You didn't even ask me
how I am.

- Ted...
- No, I don't wanna hear it.

- I did ask you.
- I don't wanna hear it.

Because you totally...

- Do you remember
sitting next to me, saying...

You explained what happened,

My heart bled for you, Ted.

I said, "Are you serious?"
- Really?

Did it really bleed
for me, Robby?

- It did.
- Thank you so much.

Because I didn't feel that.

- Are you forgetting this?
- I'm not denying that

you sat there next to me
and I told you what happened.

- Yes, I did, so...
- Absolutely I did.

Absolutely I did, but what did
you do after it happened?

- After.
- After it happened,

where were you, Robby?

- I was...
- You weren't checking on me.

What were you doing?

- I never got to give
my definition of "team,"

and that is
cleaning up the disaster,

the expl*si*n that happened.

- Oh, really?
So where were you?

- I was keeping up face
for Starring.

I thought I was being
a team player, honestly.

- Can someone tell me
how you were doing that?

- I think by just making a joke
out of the situation

and buddying up
to the other side,

and basically, I don't know,
laughing at it

seemed to be how
you were dealing with things,

which threw all of us off,
you know, because it's like,

it was a real moment,
and these people

unfortunately like affected Ted
and the team.

Also came for Coco as well.

And the only person
that, like...

- I did come down.
I ran down.

- Yeah, Laura came down
and, like,

was trying
to help the situation.

And you really didn't.

You made light
and fun of everybody

and what they were
going through.

And you didn't stand up
for Coco as well.

- I'm not an expl*sive person.
- And to be very honest,

it's not about any of us.

It's about you.

What happened last night...

I am so sorry
that I did not go out.

And sorry is just not...
it's not...can never cut it,

but I just felt like,
instead of going outside,

I just went for them, because I
was just like, "How could you?"

And then they leave, and you
coming over with the shots,

like,
let's give a shot to them,

I was just like,
what is going on?

It's just like,
I understand what you're saying

because that's your story,
but it doesn't feel genuine.

And your whole definition
of team coming f*cking late

doesn't really make sense
with this situation.

- Oh, God, now we got
Johnny calling me out.

Coco's calling me out.
It's like, what did I do wrong?

I still don't get it.

I mean,
am I like that out of it?

I'm very sorry for continuing
the party and having fun,

but it's just what I do
and it's what I love to do.

Call me crazy,
you guys,

but I stand by my actions
and what I did.

♪ ♪

- Oh, Cheyenne.
- Hi.

- How are you?
What's going on?

- You know, you guys, thanks
for making it this morning.

- Yeah.
- I think, first of all,

this is
about me making a mistake.

And you know, I wanted
you guys to hear from me

exactly where I stand
with all this.

We could've handled it better.

He could've handled it better.

I think all of us,
it's a growing experience.

I'd love to have a conversation
with him privately.

- Mm-hmm.
- And I'm actually mortified

that someone would think
someone, you know,

would do this after, I think
he had 20 years of sobriety?

That's very serious.

- It was hard
to see you break down

just because we know
how much it, like,

meant to you
and all that kinda stuff.

- It's crushing, though,
isn't it?

I mean, it's...it's almost
like seeing your parents cry.

I'm not your parents,
I'm not,

but it's really like,
oh, sh*t, what's going down?

- Yeah.
- Something's going down.

And I think it was unresolved.
- Mm-hmm.

- And I wanted, at least
with us, to resolve it today.

- Today,
I think it's a new day,

and we're with you
no matter what, so...

- You know,
in all fairness, you guys,

I don't know what it's like,
you know,

to be sober and taste...

I really don't,
but I also feel that,

you know, they didn't
give us the opportunity.

And maybe in that moment,
you know,

it could've been different.

I take full responsibility.
It happened.

- Jason also texted you,
"f*ck you."

- He did.

I didn't tell you this, but
he text me after they'd left,

like a full like hour or two
after they left.

So he had time to process.
It wasn't a reactionary thing.

- You know,
he's being supportive like you.

Listen,
at the end of the day,

we don't know what's going
through their minds.

I'm gonna find out.
We're gonna figure this out.

Let's see.

You know, let's put the ball
in their court.

I fully will apologize.

- Wow.
- Definitely in the wrong.

You know, we just have
to do this with grace.

And we have to do this
with dignity.

- I just wish they had given us
kinda the same grace

that you're
talking about giving them.

- And no more alcoholic
whipped cream ever again.

- I know!
This over whipped cream!

- Love you guys.
- Love you guys.

- ♪ Here in LA ♪

♪ Such a cliche ♪

- Do I feel like
I let Ted down?

No, I do not
because I was there

immediately
after the situation

when he sat down
and was shocked.

And I assured him,

"This does not count
against your sobriety."

Honey, I thought
it was a done deal,

you know,
signed, sealed, delivered.

I didn't know that I'd then
have to send a follow-up text

and send him flowers,
how's he doing,

this, that, and the other.

That's asking a lot of your
employee and being the boss.

I mean, I didn't know
Ted was that needy.

However, I get it.

This is a triggering situation,
so he has my sympathies.

However, he's gotta move on.

I hope I'm not being too harsh.

Is it bad?
'Cause I really like him, but...

I love Ted,
I really do, but, um,

he's a big boy.

He's a big boy.
Jesus Christ.

- I am so upset at each
and every one of you right now.

- I think these two

are the two that you really,
really shouldn't be upset with.

They really, really
went to battle for you.

And I know that
checking on you afterwards

really meant a lot to you,
and I am very sorry.

As for you, I think that you
get very uncomfortable with...

'cause I've even got mad at you
the other day, because

I felt like anytime that I'm
in an altercation with someone

and I want someone
to have my back,

I think
it's really hard for you.

It makes you feel
uncomfortable.

- I don't like
to see anyone upset, at all.

I do get uncomfortable.
My father was an alcoholic.

He's been suffering
with alcoholism

my whole entire life.

- So you should understand
because mine was too.

And I'm an addict myself.

And that should give you
some sensitivity.

- Talk about triggered, Ted,
I get it.

I really get it.
- No, you don't. You don't.

Obviously, you don't get it.
- Sadly, I do.

- Because you went ahead
and you went to the other team

when we're supposed
to be a team.

You did not support me
or have my back.

- So in a perfect world,

you would've wanted us all
to run outside and follow you.

- No, I didn't say that.

Do you hear me say that?
- Yes.

- I'm not asking you to run
outside to see how I'm doing,

but you could've at 9:00
just sent a text message

and said,
"Ted, how are you doing?"

But no,
this is what you were doing:

you were sitting at a table
taking shots

with the person
that tried to f*ck me over.

That's what you were doing.

- I'm sorry
you feel that way, Ted.

- Okay, you can feel sorry
that I feel that way.

- I'm really sorry
you feel that way.

- You really can feel sorry
that I feel that way.

- So you wanted a text message
last night is what you wanted?

- Listen, some communication
would've been great.

- Well, that's good, Ted.

Well, now we know.
- You're so good.

You're so good at that.

- Ted, I'm surprised...
- No.

You're really,
really, really good.

- I'm shocked
by this conversation right now.

- Really? I'm so sorry
that you're shocked.

- I really wanna say I'm sorry.

And I really love
both of you guys.

And it hurt me so bad

because I know how much
the sobriety means to you.

Please, I'm so, so sorry
about this whole entire thing.

And it's the levity,

that when I get in situations
I'm uncomfortable with,

I don't know,
I do something else.

Something happens,
and it goes back to my father.

This is a terrible disease,
and I'm so impressed

with what you've been able
to do 20 years sober.

My dad can't even get 20...
- 25.

- That's amazing.

So you know,
and that's how I was raised.

- Going back to that,
it's, like, the listening.

The listening.

He said 25, like, four times.

- I know, but let's...
- It's just, like, the details.

- He just opened up
about his dad,

and that's something
that's probably very a lot.

with anyone.

to go on forever, you know?

I just want you guys to know,
like, this is a great example,

I think,
of how we will always

be straight up with you guys.

- So text messages aside, Ted,
really, how are you feeling

in terms of sobriety
and all of this stuff?

- I'm triggered. I'm triggered.
- Yeah, mm-hmm.

- But nobody's
gonna make me drink.

Nobody's gonna
make me do a drug

because I have so much faith
in my God

hat nobody can come
in between that.

- Can we have a group hug?
- Sure.

- Okay.
- Let's give Laura her hug.

really sad today.

that Jason uh, text
"f*ck you."

he did.

broke my heart.

The "f*ck you"
didn't break my heart.

It was one of those...

if he was that upset

and we've upset you guys
that much

and didn't intend it,
that's horrible.

we have now is,

how do we move forward?
