You're hooking up with a

50-year-old Russian ex-sailor

and liking it.

Hey, it could be worse.

- How?

- We could be older.

We will be... soon.

And then what?

Well, then it will just be

the same as now, but then.

That's the problem.

Now becomes then.

Wait a minute.

If all of these babes

post selfies free...

And they do!

They would definitely

do it for money.

- What do you mean? -We are

gonna run a selfie contest

with a gigantic mega prize.

Best selfie, as judged

by us, wins $500.

No, no. We're gonna...

We're gonna make it $1,000.

That's stupid.

We don't have $1,000.

See? That is where

my genius kicks in!

We are gonna charge them $15

to submit their selfie.

To win the thousand dollars?

Bingo! And as we rack up

the selfies at $15 per,

we will rake in

the customized selfies!

- Do you get it?

- Yeah.

And then all the $15

become the $1,000

grand prize, right?

Double bingo! See?

Here is where

my genius really kicks in!

Once we make more than $1,000,

we're gonna be in the black...

Or the red,

depending on how you look at it.

And we're gonna get

selfie girlfriends

and we're gonna move out!

That is what

I call intelligence.

It's foolproof!

We are calling it

the "selfie shootout."

Any babes yet?

No.

The idea's not that great.

Holy mother of all that is

sweet and "voluptuous!"

- What? -Selfie in... paid.

And she's hot.

I can see her, too!

It works.

How can we not get rich?

Oh, we can.

Or is it "can't"?

How can we not

get our own place?

Can and can't?

How can we not get girlfriends?

Can and can't.

How can we not become happy?

- Can and can't!

- Oh, it's perfect.

The mother lode.

- But wait.

- What?

Can we monopolize this idea?

I mean, others can Jack it.

Then what?

We can't have competition.

O.M.G.

You mean other people could Jack

our idea and not pay us for it?

Yeah, there's thieves lurkin'

all over the Internet.

- Hate that! -We need a

monopoly and a copyright.

- We can get both, right?

- Yeah. Yeah!

Need it.

Need it a.S.A.P.!

- Now what?

- I'll do the thinkin',

and you...

You do the legwork.

- How?

- Idiot.

You can only

get a monopoly one way.

You search the Internet.

I mean, there is a process.

You both are idiots.

Everything's not

on the Internet.

It's not?

No.

In order to get a monopoly,

you need to go directly

to the government.

Now they control who gets a

monopoly and who doesn't.

- Okay. -You know, my

brother's a congressman.

I probably could get

an appointment with him.

I mean, god knows

he owes me a favor or nine.

Your twin brother brother?

- Yeah.

- How come I've never met him?

We haven't gotten along

in decades.

- Why is that?

- Well,

just a little sibling rivalry.

- About what?

- None of your business.

All right.

Now, he owes me,

and it's time to collect.

I thought you didn't drink.

Anything else?

Gum?

What is this?

An inquisition?

No, I was just, um...

Do you do selfies?

- Excuse me?

- Do you take selfies?

Idiot.

Everybody takes selfies.

Well, we're gonna have

a selfie contest,

and you can win a thousand

if you have the best selfie.

- How much?

- A thousand large.

- A thousand large?

- Mm-hmm.

A million dollars?

No. Not a million.

That would be ridiculous.

No, um, a thousand.

You mean one large.

Yeah.

Just one selfie, though?

No mas?

It's got to be sexy,

'cause I'm the judge.

Oh! Oh,

you're the judge?

Me.

Okay.

How do I win?

Well, I am partial

to selfies taken

from the... the front.

From the front.

You know, well, um...

The top front.

You know what I mean?

Oh, yeah.

Anything else?

No. I think that covers it.

Just go to

selfieshootout.Tv.

Hmm.

I'll think about it.

But it's not easy

to take a selfie, you know?

Is there anything yet?

Ah, it's the babe

from the store.

From the store?

- Hola.

- Hola.

You remember me?

Who's this?

It's the guy

from the liquor store.

The selfie judge.

Oh!

You get my selfie?

Yeah, and it was right

on the money.

Am I the winner?

Uh...

You could be.

But I did what you wanted.

Could we meet up?

What? Why?

Well, you see,

it's my experience

that a face immensely helps

in the decision-making

process.

But you've seen me already.

Yeah, but I kind of

need a refresher.

Okay, maybe we could party

with some of my girlfriends.

Oh! Is this working or what?

She wants to party.

Okay?

What are you even asking me?

Sure.

Uh, maybe a hot tub party

at my place.

We'll order, have it catered,

and don't forget

your credit card, okay?

- Ten!

- Ten total selfies.

That's $150!

The mother lode!

- Selfies.

- Check 'em out.

So nice!

What? Wait.

What is that.

No, it can't be.

Another one.

There's two more!

Yeah, I see 'em, too.

How did these guys get on here?

We didn't say "female

selfies," just "selfies."

This guy's kind of

good-lookin'.

I mean, he's okay, uh, right?

For a dude?

Stop it.

Just stop it.

I mean, you would

jump a bullfrog

if it smiled at you.

Wait.

Oh, I'm gonna fix it.

- How?

- We'll post "ladies only."

But we're not really lookin'

for ladies, are we?

Not really.

Then "girls only."

Ehh, is that offensive?

"Girls"? Could be,

in some quarters.

But let's just call

a horse a horse.

Babes.

We're lookin' for babes.

So we're posting

"babes only."

- Is that legal? -You mean,

are we discriminating?

Yeah, we could

go to jail for that.

- For posting "babes only"?

- Probably.

Let's just delete the men

like they never existed.

And then if anybody asks us,

we'll just... we'll swear

we didn't...

We didn't delete anyone.

I don't know. Yeah.

Only you and me will know.

Ha ha!

Yeah!

So this is what a rain check

is all about!

- Boom...

- Ow!

- Sorry.

- I'm good, I'm good.

- What's up?

- Hop in.

All right.

- Yeah! -Oh, what a surprise!

I know you.

You're the liquor store guy.

You're kind of cute.

- Do remember me?

- How could I forget you?

Let's get started. Did you bring your

cell phone and your credit card?

Uh, for what?

The selfies?

- No! For the party.

- Oh.

- Liquor and stuff.

- I thought you didn't drink.

Ha! Silly guy.

- Here, I'll call.

- Oh.

Hi, we'd like to place an order.

Two case of champagne, Tequila.

Correct.

And some chips and nuts.

Oh! You just... bring...

Bring some more alcohol!

Yeah, yeah.

Get that selfie stick, too.

Champagne! Champagne!

Right there. Bring it.

Yeah, hi.

I wanted to order

three pairs of stilettos.

Yeah, one black, one red,

and then one pur...

Oh, do you have purple?

Purple.

Hi, I want everything

that she just ordered,

but in a size seven.

Okay, great! Thank you!

Hi! I need a size 12.

Yes, I said 12.

You gonna get up?

It's almost two

in the afternoon.

You got to be at work

in 15 minutes.

You're not in there

doing you know what,

that party you have

with yourself?

Oh, my god!

What are you doin'

to each other?

What? What?

What? Oh!

What did I do?

Oh, god, what did I do?

What?

You and I, we were...

Ron Jackson

Ronnie Damien Jackson (born May 9, 1953 in Birmingham, Alabama) is a coach and a former player in Major League Baseball. He was the hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox in 2004 when they won their first World Series in 86 seasons. From 1975 through 1984, Jackson played first base and third base with the California Angels (1975–78, 1982–84), Minnesota Twins (1979–81), Detroit Tigers (1981) and Baltimore Orioles (1984). He batted and threw right-handed. Jackson was called up to the Angels after hitting .281 in 144 games for the Salt Lake City Gulls of the Pacific Coast League, and made his major league debut on September 12, 1975. In a 10-year career, Jackson compiled a .259 batting average with 56 home runs and 342 RBI in 926 games. Jackson played for managers Gene Mauch, Sparky Anderson, Dick Williams and Jim Fregosi. With the Angels, he hit a career-high .297 in 1978, and in 1979 posted personal highs in hits (158), doubles (40), home runs (14), RBI (68), runs (85) and games (153) for Minnesota. In that season, his .9943 fielding percentage at first base broke Rod Carew's Twins' record. Following his retirement as a player, Jackson coached for the Brewers, Dodgers and White Sox systems. The 2006 season marked his 18th year as a major league or minor league hitting coach, and his fourth with the Boston Red Sox. In his first two seasons with Boston, the Red Sox led the majors in runs, batting average, doubles, extra-base hits, total bases, on-base percentage and slugging average. In 2003 the Sox set ML records for extra-base hits, total bases and slugging, finishing one off the major league lead with 238 home runs. The Red Sox tied an ML record with 373 doubles in 2004. Jackson served as the hitting coach for the Round Rock Express, then the top affiliate of the Houston Astros from 2007 to 2009. He currently serves as a guest instructor at the New York Baseball Academy and coached Birmingham's Willie Mays Youth Baseball team to the 2014 championship of the Junior RBI Classic in Minneapolis. more…
