00:08:17,129 --> 00:08:18,297
available.
174
00:08:18,364 --> 00:08:20,132
>> Victor: That's what we all
assumed, but then he took out a
175
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,501
number of short-term loans.
176
00:08:22,568 --> 00:08:26,138
That's how short he was of his
agenda.
177
00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:28,474
>> Nick: Could just be a
desperation move to stabilize
178
00:08:28,541 --> 00:08:29,375
his empire.
179
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:31,844
>> Victor: But those debts are
coming due.
180
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:36,082
So I think what he's doing --
he's looking for a lucrative
181
00:08:36,148 --> 00:08:39,752
company to keep him afloat.
182
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:45,758
>> Audra: I told you I didn't
know the details of Daniel's
183
00:08:45,825 --> 00:08:46,959
deal.
184
00:08:47,026 --> 00:08:50,229
My insider info was limited to
things pertaining directly to
185
00:08:50,296 --> 00:08:54,667
the IPO, nothing connected with
development or creative
186
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:55,735
planning.
187
00:08:55,801 --> 00:08:57,370
>> Nate: You never heard
anything around the office?
188
00:08:57,436 --> 00:09:02,675
>> Audra: Uh, I knew Lily and
Devon were discussing building
189
00:09:02,742 --> 00:09:07,179
an entire gaming division around
the idea Daniel was developing.
190
00:09:07,246 --> 00:09:10,516
I was also aware that they were
preparing a press release
191
00:09:10,583 --> 00:09:12,852
towards the end of my tenure
with them.
192
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:17,423
Since it never came out, I'm
assuming they hit a standstill.
193
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:19,525
>> Nate: Hmm.
194
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:23,062
Interesting.
195
00:09:23,129 --> 00:09:25,498
>> Audra: Why are you asking me
all this?
196
00:09:25,564 --> 00:09:30,469
Are you thinking of poaching
Daniel from Chancellor-Winters?
197
00:09:30,536 --> 00:09:32,171
Or stealing his idea?
198
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:33,272
>> Nate: No.
199
00:09:33,339 --> 00:09:35,908
No, I'm just curious.
200
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:37,610
I would definitely like to know
what's going on at
201
00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:42,148
Chancellor-Winters that would
make this project so precarious.
202
00:09:42,214 --> 00:09:44,817
I'm sure it has something to do
with Devon.
203
00:09:44,884 --> 00:09:48,421
His inability to collaborate or
take chances is probably
204
00:09:48,487 --> 00:09:51,324
bringing the entire company to
its knees.
205
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:54,226
>> Audra: Why do you still care
so much about your family's
206
00:09:54,293 --> 00:09:55,428
company?
207
00:09:55,494 --> 00:09:59,298
If I remember correctly, you
were quite adamant about putting
208
00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:02,601
your time there behind you.
209
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:04,236
>> Nate: You're right.
210
00:10:04,303 --> 00:10:07,974
Old habits die hard, I guess.
211
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,176
You know, it's too bad you
burned your bridge with them,
212
00:10:10,242 --> 00:10:11,310
too.
213
00:10:11,377 --> 00:10:14,580
It would have been nice to have
some inside information.
214
00:10:41,707 --> 00:10:44,677
>> Audra: We both burned our
bridges at Chancellor-Winters.
215
00:10:44,744 --> 00:10:48,247
If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here.
216
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:49,615
>> Nate: You're right.
217
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:51,283
So I'm glad you did.
218
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:54,587
>> Audra: Even if I disagree
with you about going after the
219
00:10:54,653 --> 00:10:55,788
gaming platform?
220
00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:57,857
>> Nate: Look, let's get
something straight.
221
00:10:57,923 --> 00:11:00,626
I appreciate your input.
222
00:11:00,693 --> 00:11:02,895
I'm not afraid of being
challenged.
223
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:05,698
I like to hear different points
of view so I can make an
224
00:11:05,765 --> 00:11:06,832
informed decision.
225
00:11:06,899 --> 00:11:10,836
>> Audra: And I'm willing to
support you 100% if you feel
226
00:11:10,903 --> 00:11:15,408
strongly about something, even
if our opinions differ.
227
00:11:15,474 --> 00:11:17,076
But let me ask you this.
228
00:11:17,143 --> 00:11:21,781
If you're not ready to let go of
the idea and if we have no
229
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:26,218
insider information to help us
sign Daniel, how would you go
230
00:11:26,285 --> 00:11:28,421
about pursuing him?
231
00:11:28,487 --> 00:11:31,724
>> Nate: I say we sit the guy
down and sell him on
232
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:36,595
Newman Media, show him why we're
a better, much more stable,
233
00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:38,531
fit for his venture.

235
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:50,910
>> Nate: Everything okay?
236
00:11:50,976 --> 00:11:51,944
>> Audra: Yeah.
237
00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:55,815
Uh, can we finish this
discussion in a little bit?
238
00:11:55,881 --> 00:12:00,853
I have to go take care of
something.

[ Door opens ]
[ Sighs ]
240
00:12:10,029 --> 00:12:13,632
>> Billy: Well, that is a great
attitude to have, positive and
241
00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:15,801
accepting of Dr. Malone's
advice.
242
00:12:15,868 --> 00:12:19,705
I remember a time when if
someone said no to your idea,
243
00:12:19,772 --> 00:12:21,674
you'd fall down the rabbit hole.
244
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:22,741
>> Chelsea: Exactly.
245
00:12:22,808 --> 00:12:24,310
And that wasn't that long ago.
246
00:12:24,376 --> 00:12:26,445
>> Billy: Well, look at how far
you've come.
247
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:27,079
That's a good thing.
248
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:28,180
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
249
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:29,315
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ]
>> Chelsea: I heard what she had
250
00:12:29,381 --> 00:12:33,185
to say, and it's just not the
right time for a podcast.
251
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:37,056
>> Billy: You know, uh, I got to
say, when you first told me the
252
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:39,992
idea about the podcast, I did
share some of Dr. Malone's
253
00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:41,293
concerns.
254
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,231
But this is your recovery, this
is your process, and I just want
255
00:12:45,297 --> 00:12:46,832
to be supportive.
256
00:12:46,899 --> 00:12:48,200
>> Chelsea: And you have been.
257
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:51,303
You're more in tune with what's
good or bad for me than you
258
00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:52,605
realize.
259
00:12:52,671 --> 00:12:55,341
And I want you to know, I really
appreciate hearing your honest,
260
00:12:55,407 --> 00:12:56,909
unfiltered thoughts.
261
00:12:56,976 --> 00:12:59,578
I know I have to run everything
by Dr. Malone, but I -- I feel
262
00:12:59,645 --> 00:13:03,015
like I'm ready to start opening
myself up again to feedback,
263
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:04,583
even if it's negative.
264
00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:07,753
So, receiving it from somebody
that I know cares about me --
265
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:10,022
that could definitely cushion
the blow.
266
00:13:10,089 --> 00:13:12,458
>> Billy: Well, I appreciate
your vote of confidence,
267
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:14,760
although I'm not sure you should
be taking my advice.
268
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:18,397
I have screwed up plenty of
times, and I'm still playing it
269
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:19,031
by ear.
270
00:13:19,098 --> 00:13:21,934
>> Chelsea: Aren't we all?
271
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:26,772
>> Phyllis: Daniel,
Tucker McCall is not a good guy.
272
00:13:26,839 --> 00:13:28,440
He is a snake.
273
00:13:28,507 --> 00:13:31,677
>> Daniel: Well, at least he's
true to form.
274
00:13:31,744 --> 00:13:34,480
And he's a smart and intuitive
businessman.
275
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:36,749
And he made a lot of salient
points.
276
00:13:36,815 --> 00:13:39,618
He understood that there could
be a crossover between our
277
00:13:39,685 --> 00:13:41,220
business and our personal lives.
278
00:13:41,287 --> 00:13:44,590
Look, I got to tell you, without
me even saying anything, he
279
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,726
already knew that Lucy and
Heather leaving me was a big
280
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:51,297
part of why I created this whole
gaming experience and a way for
281
00:13:51,363 --> 00:13:52,131
me to heal.
282
00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:55,367
>> Phyllis: Oh, a way for you to
heal.
283
00:13:55,434 --> 00:13:56,402
Really?
284
00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:58,170
Oh, my goodness.
285
00:13:58,237 --> 00:14:00,005
He's manipulating you.
286
00:14:00,072 --> 00:14:01,840
He's very good at reading
people.
287
00:14:01,907 --> 00:14:05,444
He's very good at reading people
and then manipulating them to do
288
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:06,645
what he wants.
289
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:08,047
>> Daniel: Or another way of
looking at it is that he showed
290
00:14:08,113 --> 00:14:09,281
some insight.
291
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:11,483
And McCall Unlimited -- they
have all the resources and
292
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:13,485
infrastructure we need to hit
the ground running.
293
00:14:13,552 --> 00:14:15,487
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, a lot of
companies would.
294
00:14:15,554 --> 00:14:19,858
>> Daniel: Yeah, a lot of
companies do, but with McCall,
295
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:23,495
I'd be dealing directly with
Tucker -- one guy, less hoops to
296
00:14:23,562 --> 00:14:24,597
jump through, and more autonomy.
297
00:14:24,663 --> 00:14:26,699
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, he'd be
holding all the hoops.
298
00:14:26,765 --> 00:14:27,933
You know this.
299
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,937
And if you start working with
him and your agenda is different
300
00:14:32,004 --> 00:14:34,340
than his agenda, it's war.
301
00:14:34,406 --> 00:14:35,641
>> Daniel: I'm not naive.
302
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:36,976
I know his reputation.
303
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:39,378
But I don't judge people for the
worst thing they've ever done.
304
00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:41,814
And he seemed genuine in his
enthusiasm for my vision.
305
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,216
>> Phyllis: Of course he is --
because your vision is
306
00:14:44,283 --> 00:14:46,252
brilliant, because you're
brilliant, Daniel.
307
00:14:46,318 --> 00:14:47,886
He wants to be a part of that.
308
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:49,255
He is not real.
309
00:14:49,321 --> 00:14:51,690
He is not a genuine guy.
310
00:14:51,757 --> 00:14:53,993
>> Daniel: You know,
Omega Sphere is supposed to be
311
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:56,528
about changing people's lives,
right?
312
00:14:56,595 --> 00:15:00,099
Giving the opportunity to grow
and be better.
313
00:15:00,165 --> 00:15:02,201
I think that if Tucker is
willing to do that in his own
314
00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:05,404
life, then he might be the
better alternative than
315
00:15:05,471 --> 00:15:07,039
Newman Media.
316
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:10,109
If -- If we need one.
317
00:15:10,175 --> 00:15:12,011
I'm not ready to jump ship yet.
318
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:14,079
I trust Lily to come through.
319
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:24,456
>> Victor: Well, Michael Baldwin
is still trying to find out what
320
00:15:24,523 --> 00:15:27,459
Tucker McCall's true motives
are.
321
00:15:27,526 --> 00:15:31,297
I mean, how is he gonna regain
solid footing without selling
322
00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:32,631
his entire company?
323
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:38,671
He has no backing, no bank
supporting him at the moment.
324
00:15:38,737 --> 00:15:41,373
I think the walls are closing in
on him.
325
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,543
>> Nick: There's something else
we should be worried about.
326
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:47,046
Newman Media recently hired
Audra Charles.
327
00:15:47,112 --> 00:15:50,015
Now, Nate told Victoria that she
was working with Tucker to leak
328
00:15:50,082 --> 00:15:52,751
information about the
Chancellor-Winters IPO.
329
00:15:52,818 --> 00:15:55,421
So we need to be very wary of
her allegiances.
330
00:15:55,487 --> 00:15:58,190
Despite what she's told us, I
wouldn't put deception past her.
331
00:15:58,257 --> 00:16:00,259
We still don't know the status
of her and Tucker's
332
00:16:00,326 --> 00:16:00,893
relationship.
333
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:02,494
They could still be aligned.
334
00:16:02,561 --> 00:16:06,031
>> Nikki: We need to keep Audra
at a distance until we know if
335
00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:07,099
we can trust her.
336
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:10,402
>> Victor: Well, let's think
about that for a moment.
337
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:14,540
I think it might be to our
advantage if she keeps working
338
00:16:14,606 --> 00:16:16,241
with Tucker McCall.
339
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:17,509
>> Victoria: I think Dad's
right.
340
00:16:17,576 --> 00:16:21,480
I think we need to stay on the
offense, turn the tables, force
341
00:16:21,547 --> 00:16:24,516
him to be on his guard around
us.
342
00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:32,624
>> Nikki: Are you saying you

00:26:11,569 --> 00:26:13,038
I like it here.
514
00:26:13,104 --> 00:26:16,241
But it's good to know that I'm
valued.
515
00:26:16,308 --> 00:26:20,845
And I'm coming around the idea
of going after Omega Sphere.
516
00:26:20,912 --> 00:26:22,013
>> Nate: Really?
517
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,515
Great.
518
00:26:23,581 --> 00:26:27,852
>> Audra: So let's put our heads
together and figure out a way.
519
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:29,921
[ Knock on door ]
520
00:26:36,194 --> 00:26:38,129
>> Victor: Baby, you have been
521
00:26:38,196 --> 00:26:43,802
awfully quiet since we broached
the subject of potentially
522
00:26:43,868 --> 00:26:45,904
acquiring Tucker McCall's
company.
523
00:26:45,971 --> 00:26:48,606
>> Nikki: I'm hoping that
Michael will find something that
524
00:26:48,673 --> 00:26:53,845
will make a takeover less
hostile and risky.
525
00:26:53,912 --> 00:26:58,650
>> Victor: I'm still in favor of
making a move on his company.
526
00:26:58,717 --> 00:27:02,754
>> Nikki: Well, I can certainly
see the upside for us, although
527
00:27:02,821 --> 00:27:06,391
Newman Enterprises really isn't
lacking in anything right now.
528
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:10,195
And for Victoria, I know for her
it's more the love of the game,
529
00:27:10,261 --> 00:27:12,397
which she inherited from you.
530
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:17,035
What I don't understand is why
you seem to be so invested in
531
00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:18,269
this.
532
00:27:18,336 --> 00:27:20,605
>> Victor: Baby, you just said
that Victoria inherited her love
533
00:27:20,672 --> 00:27:21,639
of the game from me.
534
00:27:21,706 --> 00:27:23,942
Doesn't that explain everything?
535
00:27:24,009 --> 00:27:26,011
>> Nikki: Not this time.
536
00:27:26,077 --> 00:27:28,046
>> Victor: Hmm.
537
00:27:28,113 --> 00:27:31,883
>> Nikki: It seems like you are
specifically going after
538
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:33,485
Tucker McCall.
539
00:27:33,551 --> 00:27:36,388
And if that's the case...
540
00:27:36,454 --> 00:27:38,456
I want to know why.
541
00:27:45,663 --> 00:27:46,798
>> Nick: I am glad that didn't
take long.
542
00:27:46,865 --> 00:27:48,033
>> Victoria: I know.
543
00:27:48,099 --> 00:27:49,801
The VP meetings are much more
efficient when we eliminate all
544
00:27:49,868 --> 00:27:51,102
the small talk at the beginning.
545
00:27:51,169 --> 00:27:52,537
>> Nick: Agreed.
546
00:27:52,604 --> 00:27:53,738
Thank you, Andy.
547
00:27:53,805 --> 00:27:54,606
What looks good to you?
548
00:27:54,672 --> 00:27:55,774
I'm starving.
549
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,675
>> Victoria: Before we worry
about what we're gonna eat, I
550
00:27:57,742 --> 00:28:01,513
have to ask you -- why are you
not sold on this Tucker idea?
551
00:28:01,579 --> 00:28:04,582
I mean, the upside is enormous.
552
00:28:04,649 --> 00:28:08,153
The reach of McCall Unlimited
is international, and having
553
00:28:08,219 --> 00:28:11,156
that brand under the Newman
umbrella, it would just solidify
554
00:28:11,222 --> 00:28:13,925
our position in the global
community.
555
00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:17,762
Plus, snatching Tucker's company
out from underneath him would be
556
00:28:17,829 --> 00:28:21,066
delicious karma, especially
after all of his past lies and
557
00:28:21,132 --> 00:28:22,267
machinations.
558
00:28:22,333 --> 00:28:25,303
>> Nick: That's all true, but
something about this doesn't
559
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:26,671
sit right with me.
560
00:28:26,738 --> 00:28:29,274
I can't shake the feeling that
this is all part of a bigger
561
00:28:29,340 --> 00:28:31,676
plan that Dad's put in motion by
telling us about it.
562
00:28:31,743 --> 00:28:33,344
>> Victoria: Well, that wouldn't
be the first time.
563
00:28:33,411 --> 00:28:36,648
>> Nick: Doesn't make it
alright.
564
00:28:36,714 --> 00:28:38,883
>> Victoria: Anything else
troubling you?
565
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:41,086
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
What do you mean?
566
00:28:41,152 --> 00:28:42,353
>> Victoria: I don't know.
567
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:44,856
Call it sisterly intuition, but
I feel like you've been carrying
568
00:28:44,923 --> 00:28:46,491
around this personal weight all
day.
569
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:49,260
Whatever it is, you can talk to
me about it, alright?
570
00:28:49,327 --> 00:28:51,696
Because if we have learned
anything this past year, it's
571
00:28:51,763 --> 00:28:53,765
that we can trust each other.
572
00:28:59,003 --> 00:29:00,805
Tucker.
573
00:29:00,872 --> 00:29:01,573
Join us.
574
00:29:01,639 --> 00:29:02,240
>> Tucker: Hey.
575
00:29:02,307 --> 00:29:03,975
>> Victoria: Hi.
576
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:10,381
>> Daniel: Sorry for stopping in
unannounced and for all the
577
00:29:10,448 --> 00:29:12,217
confusion with my mother
earlier.
578
00:29:12,283 --> 00:29:15,019
I just wanted to clear the air.
579
00:29:15,086 --> 00:29:16,754
Obviously, she overstepped.
580
00:29:16,821 --> 00:29:20,492
Her intentions were good, but
she jumped the gun on something
581
00:29:20,558 --> 00:29:22,293
that she doesn't know a lot
about and doesn't have any
582
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,495
control over.
583
00:29:23,561 --> 00:29:27,298
>> Audra: I suspected as much
since I remember hearing about
584
00:29:27,365 --> 00:29:30,101
your collaboration with
Chancellor-Winters when I worked
585
00:29:30,168 --> 00:29:33,671
there, and I assume it wasn't as
easy as just placing a bid.
586
00:29:33,738 --> 00:29:34,939
>> Daniel: You're right.
587
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,174
It's not.
588
00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:39,310
I have an active contract with
them, and I have every intention
589
00:29:39,377 --> 00:29:40,478
of honoring it.
590
00:29:40,545 --> 00:29:43,181
After our encounter, I just felt
like I should come here in
591
00:29:43,248 --> 00:29:45,850
person and, you know, clarify
any misconceptions.
592
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:48,553
But if anything does change in
the future, I'd be happy to sit
593
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:50,922
down and discuss possibilities.
594
00:29:50,989 --> 00:29:54,192
So, again, sorry for any
confusion.
595
00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:56,161
>> Nate: Uh, hold on a second.
596
00:29:56,227 --> 00:30:00,198
If you have a few minutes and
there's an opportunity for some
597
00:30:00,265 --> 00:30:04,969
kind of future collaboration,
however small the chances are,
598
00:30:05,036 --> 00:30:11,543
what's the harm in letting us
sell ourselves to you?
599
00:30:11,609 --> 00:30:13,945
>> Chelsea: You've been thinking
about this a lot, haven't you?
600
00:30:14,012 --> 00:30:16,114
>> Billy: Does it seem that way?
601
00:30:16,181 --> 00:30:20,118
Well, I guess it's just, you
know, we've -- we've both had
602
00:30:20,185 --> 00:30:21,486
our fair share of struggles.
603
00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:22,720
>> Chelsea: Mm.
604
00:30:22,787 --> 00:30:26,291
>> Billy: And I'm not comparing
mine to yours or anything like
605
00:30:26,357 --> 00:30:29,761
that, but I know -- I know that
darkness...
606
00:30:29,827 --> 00:30:30,929
>> Chelsea: Mm.
607
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:32,797
>> Billy: ...when you're trying
to find that light or that
608
00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:33,731
saving grace.
609
00:30:33,798 --> 00:30:36,367
I know that feeling.
610
00:30:36,434 --> 00:30:39,204
You know, we've both been adrift
when it comes to finding a
611
00:30:39,270 --> 00:30:43,508
career or something that
fulfills us.
612
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:45,843
And don't take this the wrong
way, but we both struck out on
613
00:30:45,910 --> 00:30:46,711
love.
614
00:30:46,778 --> 00:30:48,279
>> Chelsea: Alright, alright,
I get it.
615
00:30:48,346 --> 00:30:51,649
>> Billy: You're not finding any
comfort in what we have in
616
00:30:51,716 --> 00:30:52,517
common?
617
00:30:52,584 --> 00:30:53,885
>> Chelsea: No, please, please
carry on.
618
00:30:53,952 --> 00:30:55,253
>> Billy: I don't know.
619
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,556
You know, it's just we've both
fought back against being
620
00:30:58,623 --> 00:31:01,125
pigeonholed into these
opportunities that other people
621
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:02,493
think are right for us.
622
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:03,628
>> Chelsea: Mm-hmm.
623
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:06,698
>> Billy: Instead, we search
for what makes us feel good,
624
00:31:06,764 --> 00:31:09,400
what our passions are.
625
00:31:09,467 --> 00:31:12,971
And I think -- [ Sighs ]
I think that's what I loved
626
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:14,839
about the podcast, you know?
627
00:31:14,906 --> 00:31:18,343
I mean, the back-and-forth was
great, of course, but I think it
628
00:31:18,409 --> 00:31:23,481
was getting to know each other
on that -- that deeper level.
629
00:31:23,548 --> 00:31:26,718
>> Chelsea: I think so, too.
630
00:31:26,784 --> 00:31:29,454
You know, when you said the
parallel lives thing earlier, I
631
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,258
thought you were just trying to
make me feel less alone, but now
632
00:31:33,324 --> 00:31:35,026
I believe you actually mean it.
633
00:31:35,093 --> 00:31:36,427
>> Billy: I do.
634
00:31:36,494 --> 00:31:39,130
You know, I'm -- I'm very proud
of all the work that you've
635
00:31:39,197 --> 00:31:41,499
done and how determined you are.
636
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:48,172
And it makes me feel determined,
too.
637
00:31:48,239 --> 00:31:52,510
>> Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]
638
00:31:59,050 --> 00:32:03,321
>> Nate: The first thing I would
say as far as Chancellor-Winters
639
00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:06,658
versus Newman goes is that
Audra and I have worked at both
640
00:32:06,724 --> 00:32:10,461
places and we have found
Newman Media to be a much
641
00:32:10,528 --> 00:32:12,130
happier business home.
642
00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:14,232
>> Daniel: Well, I'm sorry you
didn't have a good experience at
643
00:32:14,299 --> 00:32:17,201
Chancellor-Winters, but that
hasn't been the case for me.
644
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:20,138
>> Audra: You had to have
noticed the turmoil there.
645
00:32:20,204 --> 00:32:23,374
>> Daniel: I am committed to
Lily and her company.
646
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:24,876
My word -- it means a lot to me.
647
00:32:24,942 --> 00:32:28,046
When I make commitments, I do my
best to honor them and to not
648
00:32:28,112 --> 00:32:30,114
betray the people that believe
in me.
649
00:32:30,181 --> 00:32:32,650
This project means everything
to me.
650
00:32:32,717 --> 00:32:33,751
It's literally my future.
651
00:32:33,818 --> 00:32:36,888
It's not a "sell to the highest
bidder" kind of thing.
652
00:32:36,954 --> 00:32:41,326
So, I hope that's something that
you can both understand and
653
00:32:41,392 --> 00:32:42,694
accept and respect.
654
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:50,668
[ Chuckles ]
Again, thank you for your time.
655
00:32:50,735 --> 00:32:54,038
>> Nate: I am more intrigued
than ever.
656
00:32:54,105 --> 00:32:57,175
>> Audra: If you intend to go
after Daniel's platform, you
657
00:32:57,241 --> 00:33:01,713
should know you have some
competition waiting for you.
658
00:33:01,779 --> 00:33:06,818
Tucker McCall has the same idea.
659
00:33:06,884 --> 00:33:08,886
>> Nate: And you know that how?
660
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:14,225
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ]
You did not have to walk me
661
00:33:14,292 --> 00:33:16,327
home, but that was a very
chivalrous gesture.
662
00:33:16,394 --> 00:33:17,695
>> Billy: All good.
663
00:33:17,762 --> 00:33:20,098
Um, so, listen.
664
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:24,068
I, uh -- I have a few things to
take care of today, but maybe we
665
00:33:24,135 --> 00:33:27,138
can grab dinner soon.
666
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:28,139
>> Chelsea: Sure.
667
00:33:28,206 --> 00:33:31,609
Um...I could cook us something.
668
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:34,345
>> Billy: Yeah, yeah, we can do
that, or we could -- could go
669
00:33:34,412 --> 00:33:38,449
out, you know, unless it's too
stressful.
670
00:33:38,516 --> 00:33:39,517
>> Chelsea: No.
671
00:33:39,584 --> 00:33:41,686
I don't think it would be too
stressful.
672
00:33:41,753 --> 00:33:42,453
I'd like that.
673
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,554
>> Billy: Okay, good.
674
00:33:43,621 --> 00:33:45,089
Some food, some -- some fun.
675
00:33:45,156 --> 00:33:45,890
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
676
00:33:45,957 --> 00:33:50,094
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ]
Alright, uh...
677
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:51,429
Well, we'll figure it out.
678
00:33:51,496 --> 00:33:52,096
>> Chelsea: Sounds great.
679
00:33:52,163 --> 00:33:52,764
>> Billy: Okay.
680
00:33:52,830 --> 00:33:53,364
Have a good one.
681
00:33:53,431 --> 00:33:53,898
>> Chelsea: You too.
682
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:56,601
>> Billy: Okay.
683
00:33:56,667 --> 00:33:57,535
>> Chelsea: Bye.
684
00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:59,604
>> Billy: See you.
685
00:34:07,578 --> 00:34:10,515
>> Victor: But I have other
reasons for wanting to acquire
686
00:34:10,581 --> 00:34:13,017
McCall Unlimited.
687
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:15,386
>> Nikki: Care to fill me in?
688
00:34:15,453 --> 00:34:21,426
>> Victor: [ Breathes deeply ]
I have a feeling that one of the
689
00:34:21,492 --> 00:34:25,696
divisions might be appealing to
Adam when he comes back.
690
00:34:25,763 --> 00:34:28,199
>> Nikki: You mean if he comes
back.
691
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:30,568
Victor, don't tell me that's
what this is about -- trying to
692
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:31,969
lure Adam back to
Newman Enterprises.
693
00:34:32,036 --> 00:34:33,037
>> Victor: No, no, no, no.
694
00:34:33,104 --> 00:34:35,239
As I said, there would be many
benefits to acquiring
695
00:34:35,306 --> 00:34:36,407
McCall Unlimited.
696
00:34:36,474 --> 00:34:38,609
>> Nikki: And you realize that
your other children are not
697
00:34:38,676 --> 00:34:41,345
pawns in your constant battle
with Adam, right?
698
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:42,180
>> Victor: I know that.
699
00:34:42,246 --> 00:34:44,182
Don't you worry, okay?
700
00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:45,850
I've thought this through.
701
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:48,953
I think this will be good for
everyone concerned.
702
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:53,524
But when Adam realizes that we
have McCall Unlimited in our
703
00:34:53,591 --> 00:35:00,164
portfolio, that would give him a
very strong reason to stay.
704
00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:02,867
>> Tucker: A, uh -- [ Laughs ]
An invitation from the Newman
705
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:03,568
siblings?
706
00:35:03,634 --> 00:35:07,104
That's...a suspicious surprise.
707
00:35:07,171 --> 00:35:09,373
>> Victoria: No, we -- we just
wanted to talk.
708
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,441
>> Tucker: Oh, really?
709
00:35:10,508 --> 00:35:11,742
What about?
710
00:35:11,809 --> 00:35:13,411
>> Nick: Your future plans.
711
00:35:13,478 --> 00:35:15,913
>> Tucker: Yeah, I figured.
712
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:19,517
Say, did you fill him in on the
nasty rumor you started that I'm
713
00:35:19,584 --> 00:35:20,885
coming after your company?
714
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:22,119
>> Victoria: Oh, that?
715
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:25,656
Uh, no, I -- I hadn't given it a
second thought since we spoke,
716
00:35:25,723 --> 00:35:28,993
since the idea of you being
successful at it is dubious at
717
00:35:29,060 --> 00:35:30,294
best.
718
00:35:30,361 --> 00:35:31,496
>> Tucker: What, then?
719
00:35:31,562 --> 00:35:33,598
>> Victoria: Oh, we just wanted
to let you know that there's
720
00:35:33,664 --> 00:35:35,933
another nasty rumor floating
around.
721
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,301
>> Tucker: Oh. Do tell.
722
00:35:37,368 --> 00:35:42,940
>> Nick: Your company's in
trouble.
723
00:35:43,007 --> 00:35:46,744
>> Tucker: Well, you know you're
on top when people feel the need
724
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:50,381
to start gossiping about you.
725
00:35:50,448 --> 00:35:53,217
But, uh, I don't believe rumors.
726
00:35:53,284 --> 00:35:54,952
Neither should you.
727
00:36:01,158 --> 00:36:03,427
>> Next week on
"The Young and the Restless"...
728
00:36:03,494 --> 00:36:06,430
>> Nate: Someone else in my
place might wonder if you're
729
00:36:06,497 --> 00:36:10,968
working Tucker...or me...
730
00:36:11,035 --> 00:36:12,403
or both of us.
731
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:13,804
>> Phyllis: I'm going out of
town.
732
00:36:13,871 --> 00:36:16,707
Um, I just wanted to let you
know.
733
00:36:16,774 --> 00:36:18,042
>> Summer: Okay.
734
00:36:18,109 --> 00:36:19,076
Where -- Where are you going?
735
00:36:19,143 --> 00:36:21,746
>> Phyllis: I'm going to meet
with Heather.
736
00:36:21,812 --> 00:36:25,650
[ Sighs ] I'm gonna convince her
to take your brother back.
737
00:36:25,716 --> 00:36:28,119
>> Kyle: I found something
interesting, something I think
738
00:36:28,185 --> 00:36:30,888
you can use to get Adam out of
the company.
