for two days, that's it.
Well, let's take
a time out
and let's think about this,
all right?
We need a host,
we need a host.
We need someone charming,
someone personable,
someone who's not a dick,
um...
Duh!
Jack Guy!
You've done a million
modeling campaigns,
you've traveled the world,
you've always been in front
of the camera.
You should host the show.
Well, I did guest star
on a soap opera once.
That's what I'm talking about,
baby!
Look out this window,
all right?
This is your vision, buddy.
We're all looking through
the point of view
of our own reality tunnel.
And every reality tunnel
is different.
Wikipedia says
that Fabio's Protein
is better than water.
Yuck, what the...
What's going on?
Why is Jack getting
concealer applied?
His skin is perfect.
Fabio quit, Jack's the host,
and Chris is a f***ing alien.
You ready to roll, Sterling?
Jack?
Todd, what's up?
I was uploading,
trying to upload yesterday's
footage to your Mac
like you told me,
but um,
for some reason it doesn't
look like the footage
actually recorded.
What?
Sterling, just hold on
for a second.
What do you mean
it didn't record?
How could that be?
Did you know about this?
Does anyone here
speak idiot?
F*** it, all right?
You need something done right
you gotta do it yourself.
All right, just roll this time.
Are you the owner of
this establishment?
I am.
I'm with
the Department of Health,
and pardon the pun,
you need to get
your sh*t together!
Have a nice day.
Hello, America.
Why is it so fun
being a dick?
Don't wanna be
a p*ssy.
Sterling,
we're losing power!
I can't work like this!
Everything's okay.
It's just a coincidence that
all my checks are bouncing.
Uncle Jack?
Saul's hard
to get a hold of.
He travels a lot.
Are you okay?
Just having a few
communication issues.
You know what
I just thought of?
Why don't you call
Adriana?
She would make
a perfect host.
Problem solved.
Yeah, Adriana.
Adriana left me
five months ago.
Oh.
Is this Octaurean related?
Octaurean?
He was in a cult
for 20 years.
What, like Catholicism?
No, they worshipped a star
called Octaurus.
Oh.
But he escaped.
Look at that!
See, things are already
looking brighter.
And there he goes,
folks,
money manager
Saul Rosenblattsteinberg
is being indicted on accusations
involving some of Hollywood's
biggest names,
many of whom are linked
to the alleged cult
known as Octaurean Lifestyles
which was first exposed
by famous model
and former member, Jack Guy,
who is also a victim in
this tragic turn of events.
Man, did he royally
f*** those people.
Back to you in the studio,
Bob.
Jack, are you okay?
These electronic toothbrushes
are amazing.
I haven't had a cavity
in over ten years,
you know that?
Jack.
Sit with me,
talk to me.
What's up?
Something wrong?
You tell me, Tantu.
Adriana never loved me.
She said she did,
but she didn't.
She went away on a photo shoot,
she never even came back.
She ran off with
some German photographer
with a ponytail.
Dirk.
Dirk the jerk.
I didn't join the cult, mother!
No one joins a cult!
I was brainwashed!
I mean, my God,
they told me
I was saving the world!
They said, "Sign here,
you'll help save the world."
I signed.
Wh-, what would you do?
Did that answer
your question?
Yes, yes, I did think
the spaceships were coming!
I guess what bothers
me the most is that
no one ever seems
to take me seriously.
Even in the cult my nickname
was Dipshit.
I remember the day
I escaped.
February second,
Groundhog Day.
I was running butt naked
through the forest
with nothing but a squirrel pelt
and my dignity
to keep me warm,
but I got away.
That was the first day
that I really questioned
to Jack Guy.
What's your real name?
Phil Wienerman.
Wait a second,
what should I call you?
Jack or Phil?
I don't know.
Actually, I was thinking
of changing my name again.
I always liked
the name "Jim".
Considering that you
wanna be taken seriously
and you own a fitness club now,
"Jim Guy" might not be
the best option.
I'm just saying.
There you go.
Listen, I just wanted
to thank you again
for helping my uncle
through this.
I know he can be
a bit eccentric.
No, no, no,
it's fine,
it's my pleasure.
Well, you're sweet.
You're sweet, too.
Well, till next time.
Cool Vespa.
You know what?
On Saturdays um,
we take the underprivileged
kids that I work with
to the park to get
some outdoor activity.
I was thinking maybe
you could come by
and show 'em some
basketball moves or something.
Yeah, that sounds awesome.
Cool.
So um, Pan Pacific Park,
one PM.
Pan Pacific Park,
one PM.
Once again I'm uh,
I'm really, really sorry.
Due to my current
financial situation
and the failure of
the reality show
why doesn't everyone just
take the rest of the week off.
We'll plan to reconvene
on Monday.
But uh, in light of
everything that's happened
unless some sort
of miracle occurs,
I strongly encourage everyone
to explore
other employment
opportunities.
Three days of working here,
you get us shut down?
# Lately seems
you've been distant #
# Or maybe I just
don't read you so well #
# What you want
in an instant #
# Would say with your eyes
# It's getting harder
to tell #
# And I want you to know
I'm trying #
# Trying the best
that I can #
# And if our love
is slowly dying #
# I want you to know
# Where I stand
in my heart #
# My heart, my heart
You're early.
It's been a while.
I figured I could
use the practice.
Let's play some basketball.
All right guys, back up,
we're gonna work on defense,
okay?
Let's see what you got.
# If it weren't for the boy
# Who felt like
whatever he did #
# Wasn't good enough
# Was different
than every kid #
# But wait,
deep down inside #
# And his heart was of gold
and hope was eager to win #
# Was so sick and tired
of all these people #
# Sneaking on him
# No, he would come and attack
by the evil again #
# And his family's poor
# He swore he would
feed them again #
# But on his way out there goes
the Grim Reaper again #
# They put him in
the coliseum #
# To be food for the lions
# But he cut right through 'em
like the man on fire #
# With my heart
of Leonidas #
# He fought through the riots
# Cause he's one bad man
# Gave his notes to the choir
# But this world
was deep in for you #
# Bloodlines went back
to the people #
# You gotta fight way out,
it can be done #
# But in him dwells the heart
of a champion #
# Never quit, never lose hope,
overcome #
# Never fear to fly,
you can be the one #
Oh, come on,
that's not fair.
Hey, there.
Wow.
Aren't you amazing
with the kids, who knew?
Thank you.
Now that brings us to
a little bit of a surprise
that I have for you.
What?
Ta-dah!
I figured we'd
have to eat, right?
