The Bounce Back Page #5
Hi, Dad.
Here, give me that.
Are you ready?
I need a favor.
Uh-oh!
- Hey.
- What's up?
What's up, man?
- What are you doing?
- I'm drinking, man, I'm drinking.
That's what I'm doing.
Come on, Terry.
It was great television, let it go.
Look, I'm sorry, man.
You do know it's still daytime
, you might want to slow that down.
Oh! Look,
when we started,
we had a vision, you and me.
You are Durant, I am Westbrook, right?
Yeah, and we still are.
- I just feel like I let you down.
- Terry, what are you talking about?
The producers of Entertainment Tonight
called today.
Okay. And?
They want you in the show.
You know, how this thing works, you know,
nothing gets a crowd like a crowd,
you get ET, the next thing you know,
Love Nation is calling.
That is great news! What is the problem?
They want you on the show, with her.
It's not funny, man. What's so funny?
All right. So just call her and apologize.
- It's not that simple.
- She wouldn't take your call?
Did Kristin said she wouldn't talk to me?
That woman is not talking to either of us,
even if we pay her, because I tried that.
I thought you just said
she wouldn't take your call.
I emailed her, hit her on Facebook.
I liked all her pictures
on Instagram, nothing.
Hit her on Pinterest, Linkedln.
I went to every Starbucks
at Starbucks for the free Wi-Fi.
She wasn't there either.
I can't do anything else, Matthew.
I mean, I don't even know
where her mother lives.
I don't know her family like that.
I mean, I don't know what else I could do.
I mean, does she have a blog?
Matthew Right.
Communicate, associate, empathize...
- This is a good book.
- You need to leave. I have an appointment.
With me.
You have an appointment with me.
Mr. Right.
I get it, ha-ha, very funny.
- Can you just give me five minutes?
- I don't think that's a good idea.
You're a therapist, right?
I'm a patient in need.
Just five minutes.
You're paying for 50, put the book down.
I'm listening.
Terry was wrong and foolish.
He just... He gets very protective,
but frankly, sometimes he's got
his foot stuck so far up his...
Turn around please.
I am here to ask you
to do the show with us.
Give me one good reason.
I'll give you millions.
That's how many people
watch Entertainment Tonight.
Come on, imagine the opportunity
to help all those people!
People aren't helped one iota
The appearance fees can be kind of nice.
Helping people
also isn't about making money.
Look,
I am going on television
with or without you,
and me and my mass market sound bites
are all they're going to hear.
Why do you care so much if I come?
People deserve a balanced perspective,
and I like you.
Excuse me?
I want to do the show with you
because I think it would be good for us,
good for you, and...
I can't stop looking at your eyes.
Really?
If someone is going to rip me to shreds
on national television,
I'd like it to be you.
Say yes.
The best-selling book
bouncing across the country
and two celebrity experts,
with two very different opinions,
we're going to be speaking
with Matthew Taylor and Kristin Peralto
right after this,
the team behind The Bounce Back.
- Cut!
- I know, do it again.
Okay.
The best-selling book bouncing across
the country...
- What?
- Yeah, right.
- Now she is a part of the team?
- Terry!
How did you get her to do it anyway?
Did you hit it?
- No.
- Did you get up in them jeans?
No, come on, man, stop!
- Look at me.
Now, stop, Terry, no.
Man!
I am sorry about that. He is, uh...
He is just really nervous
about this press tour.
You know I am going
to rip you apart, right?
Bring it.
Welcome to Entertainment Tonight!
Lam Rocsi Diaz,
and today, we're talking to Matthew Taylor
about his controversial new book.
That is a very dangerous perspective
if you don't take into consideration...
What the hell is she talking about?
First of all, she called him
a charlatan on TV, dawg.
I need to talk to my client.
Hey, hey, hey, okay.
That's not realistic.
She calls my philosophy a scam,
I call it a belief.
The payoff can't be achieved
through a magical elixir.
Stop it. I am going to take as much
as I feel like taking.
Oh, my God!
I promise you, read the book.
You can't promise somebody a happy...
I am all about living a happier life.
Today we're here with Matthew Taylor,
the author of The Bounce Back.
Well, my book has sold millions of copies.
Well, I think that's because
you're a very good-looking guy.
That's the first time
she has actually given me a compliment.
Are you okay?
No, no, no.
Peace.
- No.
- It's perfect.
- No, this is terrible.
- No.
How is that
something that you could actually sell?
Let's read the book together, okay.
Let's just try.
This is a train wreck right now.
Come on.
I know Kristin loves 40 questions, right?
Come on! No.
Come on, admit it.
- Come on! This is fun.
- It's not.
- Kristin, this is fun.
- I am not having fun. Stop it.
Just say it.
- Fine, I am having fun.
- Oh, there we go.
Hi.
Come to the window, why?
Hey. you. What's up?
What are you doing here?
I was kind of thinking we could go out,
get a bite to eat.
- Tonight?
- Yeah.
Go put something cute on, let's go.
Okay.
You look beautiful!
You look ridiculous.
You're going to wanna put one on, trust me.
I have to say I'm impressed.
I am impressed with how open you've been to
such a radically different point of view.
It says a lot about how much
you believe in your methodology.
Oh. Somebody's been reading my book.
- No.
- Oh! Come on now, tell the truth!
I read the introduction.
And?
- Not terrible.
- I will take it. I will take it.
All right, here we go. Thank you.
You're okay with this, right?
For your information, I love ribs.
How did you find out about this place?
An old friend introduced me to this joint.
Old flame more like it, I'll bet.
Ooh. It was an old flame, wasn't it?
It was my ex-wife actually.
Did she break your heart?
Let's just say I lost my faith in love.
- Don't tell me she wasn't faithful?
- No, no.
She woke up one morning
and she decided she was
absolutely sure she wasn't in love with me.
That sucks.
We must have said those three little words
to each other like 1,000 times.
All of a sudden it was like
it never happened.
How did that make you feel?
I was consumed with it. I didn't eat.
I didn't sleep. I didn't do anything,
until one day I said screw it,
enough is enough.
I am not going to let love on me like that.
It's time for me to take control.
And that's where the concept
of creating the love
that I want for myself
and my life came from.
There, doesn't that feel better?
That's processing. That's therapy.
