1
00:00:04,007 --> 00:00:05,101
Come on, we gotta get back home
2
00:00:05,218 --> 00:00:06,507
for the "Property Brothers" marathon.
3
00:00:06,594 --> 00:00:07,882
Oh, I can't wait; they're finally
4
00:00:07,968 --> 00:00:10,686
airing the episode
where they accidentally kiss.
5
00:00:10,788 --> 00:00:12,637
- I'll make guacamole.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
6
00:00:14,568 --> 00:00:16,601
Sir, where are all your avocados?
7
00:00:16,677 --> 00:00:18,277
We haven't gotten any in all week.
8
00:00:18,345 --> 00:00:19,545
Those are the last two.
9
00:00:19,613 --> 00:00:21,246
What do you mean,
you haven't gotten any?
10
00:00:21,315 --> 00:00:22,481
Avocados are local.
11
00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:24,283
Oh, give me those.
12
00:00:24,351 --> 00:00:25,723
My children their healthy fats.
13
00:00:25,778 --> 00:00:28,854
Yeah, excuse me,
but my daughter was here first,
14
00:00:28,923 --> 00:00:29,988
- so can I...
- Excuse me,
15
00:00:30,057 --> 00:00:31,489
I drove in from Santa Monica
16
00:00:31,536 --> 00:00:33,659
because my psychic told me
this place had avocados.
17
00:00:33,684 --> 00:00:34,632
Wait a second.
18
00:00:34,657 --> 00:00:36,261
The whole city's out of avocados?
19
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:39,231
- What?
- No, I was asking.
20
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,366
Okay, you should...
21
00:00:41,435 --> 00:00:44,303
- Oh, you all right?
- Which way is Mexico?
22
00:00:44,371 --> 00:00:47,072
- Uh-oh, uh-oh.
- Security to aisle three.
23
00:00:47,141 --> 00:00:49,608
- Security to aisle three.
- Oh!
24
00:00:49,677 --> 00:00:52,244
Dad, what's going on?
25
00:00:52,313 --> 00:00:56,081
Is there an avocado crisis?
26
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:07,626
The agricultural commissioner
says the avocado shortage
27
00:01:07,695 --> 00:01:09,261
is affecting the whole region.
28
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:11,096
Supermarkets ran out over the weekend,
29
00:01:11,165 --> 00:01:12,965
local Girl Scouts ran out of their vegan
30
00:01:13,033 --> 00:01:14,433
Avoca-Go-Girl cookies,
31
00:01:14,501 --> 00:01:16,602
and also, Passover's coming up.
32
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:19,037
And there won't be guacamole
or dragon rolls.
33
00:01:19,106 --> 00:01:20,973
LA Judaism's weird.
34
00:01:21,041 --> 00:01:22,107
- Sir.
- Hmm.
35
00:01:22,176 --> 00:01:23,442
Adolphus Hass is here to see you.
36
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:25,429
The California 'Cado King?
37
00:01:25,515 --> 00:01:26,578
Good.
38
00:01:26,647 --> 00:01:27,946
Look, we're all scared,
39
00:01:28,015 --> 00:01:29,114
but it's gonna be okay.
40
00:01:29,183 --> 00:01:30,231
This is a business problem,
41
00:01:30,301 --> 00:01:33,285
and solving business problems
is my middle name.
42
00:01:33,354 --> 00:01:34,486
That's beautiful. Is that Polish or...
43
00:01:34,555 --> 00:01:38,190
Whatever I was supposed
to be doing today, cancel it.
44
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,459
Get out of here!
45
00:01:40,527 --> 00:01:42,261
We don't have time for you!
46
00:01:45,933 --> 00:01:46,954
Finally.
47
00:01:46,979 --> 00:01:49,001
God, these interns get worse every year.
48
00:01:49,069 --> 00:01:50,869
No, I'm your boss.
49
00:01:50,938 --> 00:01:52,504
Hey, where the hell have you been?
50
00:01:52,573 --> 00:01:55,040
I know, rough morning.
I haven't been sleeping.
51
00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:57,910
Neil texts me every time
he gets up to pee at night.
52
00:01:57,978 --> 00:01:59,144
Oh, that's too many times.
53
00:01:59,213 --> 00:02:00,879
And then I can't fall back asleep,
54
00:02:00,948 --> 00:02:02,080
and blah, blah, blah.
55
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:04,816
Take some melatonin
and watch a Cardi B ASMR video.
56
00:02:04,885 --> 00:02:06,652
That's my move,
and I sleep like a toddler.
57
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,020
Hmm.
58
00:02:08,088 --> 00:02:09,154
Hi.
59
00:02:09,223 --> 00:02:11,323
Makeup-free Monday, very brave.
60
00:02:11,392 --> 00:02:13,425
- No, I'm not sleeping.
- Me neither.
61
00:02:13,494 --> 00:02:15,794
I've been so excited
to get into this with you.
62
00:02:15,863 --> 00:02:18,030
Right, your water table thing.
63
00:02:18,098 --> 00:02:19,464
You know it!
64
00:02:19,533 --> 00:02:21,800
Mm, um, I've actually got
a meeting right now.
65
00:02:21,869 --> 00:02:23,635
Perfect, that'll give me time
66
00:02:23,704 --> 00:02:25,170
to do some vocal warm-ups.
67
00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:28,707
Water table, water table, ball gag.
68
00:02:28,776 --> 00:02:29,775
Okay.
69
00:02:29,843 --> 00:02:31,810
I'm glad you came by, Adolphus.
70
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:34,513
Oh, all my friends call me Adolph.
71
00:02:34,581 --> 00:02:36,915
No, thank you. Go ahead, sit down.
72
00:02:36,984 --> 00:02:40,018
I tell you,
the Southland's avocado farmers
73
00:02:40,087 --> 00:02:42,321
are bearing the brunt of this crisis.
74
00:02:42,389 --> 00:02:43,655
The first thing we need to figure out
75
00:02:43,724 --> 00:02:45,691
is what's causing the shortage.
76
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:47,559
It's this drought we're having.
77
00:02:47,628 --> 00:02:50,929
My farm's yields are lower
than a limbo bar in Lilliput.
78
00:02:50,998 --> 00:02:53,198
- God, he's folksy.
- You need water.
79
00:02:53,267 --> 00:02:54,833
I mean, it's the story of this city.
80
00:02:54,902 --> 00:02:57,202
If only the LA River had water in it
81
00:02:57,271 --> 00:03:00,372
instead of what I've been told
is called pornography runoff.
82
00:03:00,441 --> 00:03:02,874
So how are we gonna fix this, Adolphus?
83
00:03:02,943 --> 00:03:04,237
I'm glad you asked.
84
00:03:04,386 --> 00:03:06,545
See, I've been meeting
with all the local mayors:
85
00:03:06,613 --> 00:03:08,947
Santa Monica, Burbank, Shondaland.
86
00:03:09,016 --> 00:03:10,649
Shondaland, is that a real place?
87
00:03:10,718 --> 00:03:12,117
Yes, but it's not for you, sir.
88
00:03:12,186 --> 00:03:15,387
And they're all pitching in,
but no place on Earth
89
00:03:15,456 --> 00:03:17,923
eats more 'cados
than the City of Angels,
90
00:03:17,992 --> 00:03:20,225
so I sure do hope that you'll pony up.
91
00:03:20,294 --> 00:03:23,395
I'm sorry, is that just a
folksy way of asking for money?
92
00:03:23,464 --> 00:03:26,431
If you subsidize Hass Farms,
93
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:28,867
I can afford to ship water
down from Seattle,
94
00:03:28,936 --> 00:03:31,236
and that place
is wetter than an Italian...
95
00:03:31,305 --> 00:03:32,437
No, no, no, no, no.
96
00:03:32,506 --> 00:03:33,972
Look, that... that's not a solution.
97
00:03:34,041 --> 00:03:35,240
That's just a patch.
98
00:03:35,309 --> 00:03:37,476
Hey, we're up crap crick here, boss.
99
00:03:37,544 --> 00:03:38,977
We need a patch,
100
00:03:39,046 --> 00:03:41,046
and isn't patches
what government does best?
101
00:03:41,115 --> 00:03:44,016
Sir, this avocado thing
is a four-quadrant problem.
102
00:03:44,084 --> 00:03:46,752
It affects moms, babies,
gay-bies, and ag workers.
103
00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:48,253
Yeah, some people use avocados
104
00:03:48,322 --> 00:03:50,122
to trick himself into swallowing pills.
105
00:03:50,190 --> 00:03:52,557
A subsidy is a win-win.
106
00:03:52,626 --> 00:03:54,760
I get water. People get their 'cados.
107
00:03:54,828 --> 00:03:56,461
We take a picture in an orchard.
108
00:03:56,530 --> 00:03:58,130
You get all the headlines.
109
00:03:58,198 --> 00:04:00,232
Sir, a photo op and a positive headline
110
00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:02,634
might not be such a bad thing
for you right now.
111
00:04:02,703 --> 00:04:04,236
Yeah, your first 100 days are almost up,
112
00:04:04,304 --> 00:04:06,505
and according to all
the reporters I've spoken to,
113
00:04:06,573 --> 00:04:08,206
the current angle is
114
00:04:08,275 --> 00:04:10,842
"New mayor is old but rich hot."
115
00:04:10,911 --> 00:04:12,711
Rich hot? What, like Bezos?
116
00:04:12,780 --> 00:04:14,513
- No, not like Bezos.
- Exactly, sir, like, Bezos.
117
00:04:14,581 --> 00:04:16,715
Look, writing checks
to make problems go away
118
00:04:16,784 --> 00:04:18,283
is not how I do things.
119
00:04:18,352 --> 00:04:19,951
"Back at my company..."
120
00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:23,155
Back at my company,
I learned how to do every job
121
00:04:23,223 --> 00:04:24,656
so I could fix every problem.
122
00:04:24,725 --> 00:04:27,292
I learned how to drive
a forklift, balance the books.
123
00:04:27,361 --> 00:04:29,494
After the '94 earthquake,
124
00:04:29,563 --> 00:04:31,797
my drivers said the roads were not safe,
125
00:04:31,865 --> 00:04:33,665
so I went out, and I got a Class A
126
00:04:33,734 --> 00:04:36,468
tractor trailer license,
and the next day,
127
00:04:36,537 --> 00:04:39,304
billboards for
"Ace Ventura: Pet Detective"
128
00:04:39,373 --> 00:04:41,506
were all over Southern California.
129
00:04:41,575 --> 00:04:44,309
All righty, then!
130
00:04:46,613 --> 00:04:48,246
Yeah, I'm gonna fix
this thing, Adolphus,
131
00:04:48,315 --> 00:04:51,049
but I'm gonna do it my way.
132
00:04:51,118 --> 00:04:52,584
Well,
133
00:04:52,653 --> 00:04:54,052
when you come to your senses,
134
00:04:54,121 --> 00:04:56,689
you can find me on my farm
in the Valley.
135
00:04:56,728 --> 00:04:59,491
- Okay.
- Or if it's a weekend, Six Flags.
136
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,061
I'm tall enough to ride everything.
137
00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:04,563
Yee-ha!
138
00:05:06,533 --> 00:05:10,702
Borings, they are anything but.
139
00:05:10,771 --> 00:05:12,904
Oh, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
140
00:05:12,973 --> 00:05:16,708
What is water?
141
00:05:16,777 --> 00:05:19,311
It's transparent...
142
00:05:19,379 --> 00:05:20,689
Wet.
143
00:05:20,814 --> 00:05:24,275
Common street names include
wa-wa, the drink, God's tears.
144
00:05:24,345 --> 00:05:26,952
We live in a desert,
which is why boring,
145
00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:29,788
boring, boring, boring,
boring, boring, boring,
146
00:05:29,857 --> 00:05:31,723
boring, boring, boring,
boring, boring...
147
00:05:31,792 --> 00:05:34,726
Oh, the end!
148
00:05:34,795 --> 00:05:35,961
Ah.
149
00:05:36,029 --> 00:05:37,562
Have you been talking for an hour?
150
00:05:37,631 --> 00:05:38,730
Doesn't feel like it, does it?
151
00:05:38,799 --> 00:05:39,898
So what do you say?
152
00:05:39,967 --> 00:05:41,766
Take it to the mayor? Dazzle him?
153
00:05:41,835 --> 00:05:43,768
Well, it's a lot to absorb.
154
00:05:43,837 --> 00:05:45,237
Absorb.
155
00:05:45,305 --> 00:05:46,738
Water table humor.
156
00:05:46,807 --> 00:05:50,275
Well, absorb away,
you walking phreatic zone.
157
00:05:51,445 --> 00:05:54,379
A reference to the presentation.
158
00:05:54,448 --> 00:05:55,714
Holler if you have any questions.
159
00:05:55,782 --> 00:05:59,618
I'm available 24-7, 366
if it's a leap year.
160
00:06:01,989 --> 00:06:04,823
I saw you.
You slept through Arpi's pitch.
161
00:06:04,892 --> 00:06:06,324
Delete that, and not just because
162
00:06:06,393 --> 00:06:08,760
it's misogynist to take
unflattering photos of women.
163
00:06:08,829 --> 00:06:10,595
Yeah, she's gonna kill you
if she finds out.
164
00:06:10,664 --> 00:06:11,963
I didn't mean to fall asleep.
165
00:06:12,032 --> 00:06:14,232
She just talked so much. Give me that.
166
00:06:14,301 --> 00:06:15,934
Do you remember when she
caught the chief of police
167
00:06:16,003 --> 00:06:17,636
using his phone during a meeting?
168
00:06:17,704 --> 00:06:19,905
She made him cry,
and he was at Fallujah.
169
00:06:19,973 --> 00:06:21,339
I don't know if you know this,
but not everyone here
170
00:06:21,408 --> 00:06:23,074
sees you as an authority figure.
171
00:06:23,143 --> 00:06:24,242
This is wrong.
172
00:06:24,311 --> 00:06:28,213
I asked for half-and-half
and a splash of Nestle Quik.
173
00:06:29,917 --> 00:06:33,418
Be-because it's mine,
because I'm your boss.
174
00:06:37,826 --> 00:06:39,527
Kwapis, get in here.
175
00:06:42,747 --> 00:06:45,693
People are upset
because they want avocados
176
00:06:45,779 --> 00:06:48,083
- and they can't get them.
- Nodding, getting it.
177
00:06:48,154 --> 00:06:50,287
And I can't end the drought
178
00:06:50,356 --> 00:06:52,356
or make avocados magically appear,
179
00:06:52,425 --> 00:06:55,678
so how do you get a bone
away from a dog?
180
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:57,716
- Kiss it.
- You distract it
181
00:06:57,784 --> 00:06:59,384
with something it wants even more.
182
00:06:59,453 --> 00:07:01,324
- Mm.
- Now, when did people become
183
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:03,688
so obsessed with avocados
in the first place?
184
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:06,892
Uh, 2013, LA restaurants
185
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,693
started serving
the Australian breakfast,
186
00:07:08,762 --> 00:07:11,463
which is boiled steak,
Dunkaroos, and avocado toast.
187
00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:15,433
Avocados are just the latest
well-branded LA health fad.
188
00:07:15,502 --> 00:07:17,502
Over the years, I have put up billboards
189
00:07:17,571 --> 00:07:20,505
for everything from pine nuts
to pomegranate juice,
190
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:23,742
and no one liked those things
until marketers told them to.
191
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:25,176
Did you know that quinoa
192
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,479
was originally just Beanie Baby filler?
193
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:29,547
Well, then why does it say
"do not eat" on the tag?
194
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:31,917
We just need to find the next fad.
195
00:07:31,985 --> 00:07:33,752
We need to find something
that's abundant,
196
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:35,287
that's high in omega-3s,
197
00:07:35,355 --> 00:07:38,023
and that people don't yet
think of as edible.
198
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:40,492
And then we rebrand it as...
199
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,127
The avocado fish.
200
00:07:42,195 --> 00:07:43,929
Don't listen to anyone
who says its real name
201
00:07:43,997 --> 00:07:45,497
is the monkeyface eel.
202
00:07:45,861 --> 00:07:46,875
It's not.
203
00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:47,999
And is it supposed to smell like that?
204
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:49,159
Absolutely.
205
00:07:49,236 --> 00:07:50,869
Now, this superfood has all
206
00:07:50,938 --> 00:07:52,771
the healthy fats of an avocado
207
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:54,005
with none of the pits,
208
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:55,774
just twice the bones of a normal fish
209
00:07:55,842 --> 00:07:57,943
and a poisonous swim bladder.
210
00:07:58,011 --> 00:08:00,078
And so you're hoping
that this will catch on?
211
00:08:00,147 --> 00:08:03,081
It can do everything
an avocado used to do.
212
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:05,951
Hey, Ana, help me mash
these guys up, will you?
213
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:07,252
Wait, you're not pregnant, right?
214
00:08:07,321 --> 00:08:08,586
- No.
- All right, great, great.
215
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,221
Mash, mash, mash.
216
00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:12,490
Wow, and it's, uh, green,
just like guacamole.
217
00:08:12,559 --> 00:08:14,793
Yup, now, eat it quick
before it hardens.
218
00:08:14,861 --> 00:08:16,027
Mmm.
219
00:08:21,268 --> 00:08:23,802
Let's go to Chuck with the w...
Chuck with the weather.
220
00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:25,070
No one named Chuck works here.
221
00:08:25,138 --> 00:08:26,805
Just cut away.
222
00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:28,740
We'll be right back.
223
00:08:28,809 --> 00:08:32,043
So now I'm gonna, like, bite
224
00:08:32,112 --> 00:08:34,813
these wet-ass pickles.
225
00:08:34,881 --> 00:08:36,748
How does Tommy fall asleep to this?
226
00:08:36,817 --> 00:08:38,149
This is not relaxing.
227
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:41,586
I'm irritated and turned on
and kind of hungry.
228
00:08:41,655 --> 00:08:42,979
Et cetera.
229
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:50,962
Alexa, why can't I sleep?
230
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:53,999
According to Mayo Clinic,
insomnia is usually caused
231
00:08:54,067 --> 00:08:57,402
by depression, stress,
or anxiety, lack of exercise...
232
00:08:57,471 --> 00:08:59,537
Alexa, stop.
233
00:08:59,606 --> 00:09:00,638
Thank you.
234
00:09:02,309 --> 00:09:04,075
Alexa,
235
00:09:04,144 --> 00:09:05,777
call Scary McTinybird.
236
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:09,481
Calling Scary McTinybird's mobile.
237
00:09:14,445 --> 00:09:16,988
Ms. Shaw, what a pleasant surprise.
238
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:18,356
Unless this is a kidnapper
239
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:20,425
using Ms. Shaw's telephone
to demand a ransom,
240
00:09:20,494 --> 00:09:22,260
in which case, I will not negotiate.
241
00:09:22,329 --> 00:09:23,372
You can go ahead and kill her.
242
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:25,263
Um, no, no, it's me.
243
00:09:25,332 --> 00:09:27,432
Uh, I hope I'm not calling too late?
244
00:09:27,501 --> 00:09:29,267
If it's city business,
it's never too late.
245
00:09:29,336 --> 00:09:30,544
What can I do you for?
246
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:33,038
Well, I was thinking now that I have
247
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:37,542
a baseline understanding
of what a borings is,
248
00:09:37,611 --> 00:09:41,146
I was thinking
you could go more in-depth?
249
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:43,130
Depth?
250
00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:44,556
Borings are all about depth.
251
00:09:44,618 --> 00:09:46,885
Man, you are funny.
252
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:48,319
Zing!
253
00:09:48,388 --> 00:09:52,857
Now, I wish you were here
to see this soil sample,
254
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:55,894
but I'll describe it to ya.
255
00:09:55,962 --> 00:09:57,262
Brown,
256
00:09:57,345 --> 00:09:59,483
light brown, dark brown.
257
00:09:59,533 --> 00:10:02,434
The first brown again.
258
00:10:03,703 --> 00:10:05,737
Oh. Hello, sir.
259
00:10:05,806 --> 00:10:07,138
Mrs. Baby Sir.
260
00:10:07,207 --> 00:10:08,773
Orly's spending the day here.
261
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:10,675
Yeah, my school's closed
262
00:10:10,744 --> 00:10:13,511
'cause they ordered a bunch of
avocado fish for the salad bar,
263
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:15,346
but it turns out
you can't transport them dead.
264
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:16,740
Because they harden.
265
00:10:16,873 --> 00:10:18,850
You know, the city's been
very up-front about that.
266
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,519
Did the city know that they
could crawl short distances?
267
00:10:21,588 --> 00:10:24,089
'Cause one of them got
in the pool and laid eggs.
268
00:10:24,157 --> 00:10:28,026
Fine, the avocado fish
was a bad idea, okay?
269
00:10:29,896 --> 00:10:33,131
This cannot be how you end
your first 100 days, sir.
270
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,466
"Eel Bummer"?
271
00:10:34,534 --> 00:10:36,367
Inside, they did a really good job
272
00:10:36,436 --> 00:10:38,670
of photoshopping the creature
from "Shape of Water"...
273
00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:39,938
Oh, no.
274
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:41,372
Oh, they made you the mute lady.
275
00:10:41,441 --> 00:10:43,308
Gosh, he is really giving it to you.
276
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:44,542
This is the kind of problem
277
00:10:44,611 --> 00:10:46,744
that I have been solving my entire life.
278
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:50,215
I just don't know how to
truck-drive my way out of this.
279
00:10:50,283 --> 00:10:52,450
Oh, my God, what is that smell?
280
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:55,286
There are protesters outside
throwing monkeyface eel.
281
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:57,222
Fun fact: the avocado fish
282
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:59,891
exclusively eats the feces
of other fish.
283
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,327
Jayden, get Adolphus Hass on the phone.
284
00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:03,528
Yeah, I think
that's the right call, sir.
285
00:11:03,597 --> 00:11:05,296
- We subsidize...
- Please leave.
286
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:07,932
You smell like the bathroom
at a ferry terminal.
287
00:11:08,001 --> 00:11:09,300
I know, sir. I'm so sorry.
288
00:11:17,145 --> 00:11:18,512
Oh, Ms. Shaw?
289
00:11:18,566 --> 00:11:21,066
- Do you have a moment?
- Of course, always.
290
00:11:21,144 --> 00:11:22,400
I don't know if you realized this,
291
00:11:22,489 --> 00:11:25,242
but you fell asleep last night
while I was talking to you.
292
00:11:25,305 --> 00:11:26,371
Me did?
293
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,640
Are you sure?
294
00:11:27,703 --> 00:11:29,169
Ms. Shaw?
295
00:11:29,232 --> 00:11:32,366
No, Cardi B, don't hurt
that pickle with your nails.
296
00:11:32,443 --> 00:11:34,910
It's a cucumber's baby.
297
00:11:36,013 --> 00:11:37,612
That was a chair.
298
00:11:37,682 --> 00:11:40,315
It happens.
Our bodies betray us sometimes.
299
00:11:40,378 --> 00:11:43,519
I pee a little when I laugh,
so needless to say,
300
00:11:43,587 --> 00:11:46,196
I'm very concerned about this
"Who's the Boss?" reboot.
301
00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:48,056
Anyway, maybe I need
302
00:11:48,117 --> 00:11:49,908
to tighten up my "presentache"
303
00:11:49,938 --> 00:11:51,360
before we take it to the mayor.
304
00:11:51,427 --> 00:11:54,171
From the pitch yesterday,
what would you cut?
305
00:11:54,218 --> 00:11:58,054
Oh, gosh, that's hard. It's so good.
306
00:11:58,109 --> 00:12:01,170
Okay, well, what
would you say I have to keep?
307
00:12:01,238 --> 00:12:06,008
I really responded to... graph.
308
00:12:06,537 --> 00:12:08,404
You narcoleptic skunk.
309
00:12:08,499 --> 00:12:10,065
You fell asleep yesterday too!
310
00:12:10,090 --> 00:12:11,300
I know. I'm so sorry!
311
00:12:11,363 --> 00:12:13,079
I haven't been sleeping.
Please don't hurt me.
312
00:12:13,196 --> 00:12:14,696
I'm your boss, but you can be boss.
313
00:12:14,758 --> 00:12:15,857
What do you want for lunch?
314
00:12:15,926 --> 00:12:18,159
Okay, get it over with. Just hit me.
315
00:12:18,228 --> 00:12:19,127
Oh.
316
00:12:24,501 --> 00:12:26,745
Oh, no, what was that?
317
00:12:26,815 --> 00:12:28,211
That was so weird.
318
00:12:28,281 --> 00:12:30,471
What did it mean?
319
00:12:33,185 --> 00:12:35,119
Well, if it isn't the man of the hour.
320
00:12:35,210 --> 00:12:37,144
I just want to put
this whole thing behind me.
321
00:12:37,199 --> 00:12:39,533
Oh, said the farmer's
daughter to the Bible salesman.
322
00:12:39,619 --> 00:12:40,685
Sorry
323
00:12:40,753 --> 00:12:42,286
for the constant folksiness.
324
00:12:42,355 --> 00:12:44,055
I think maybe I'm nostalgic
325
00:12:44,123 --> 00:12:46,090
for an America that never existed.
326
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:47,792
Okay, sorry, we're gonna have
to move this truck.
327
00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:50,594
It's blocking the H
in Hass Avocado Farms,
328
00:12:50,663 --> 00:12:53,429
so it, uh, looks like
"Ass Avocado Farms."
329
00:12:53,507 --> 00:12:56,096
No, I can't move it.
I had to lay off all my drivers.
330
00:12:56,143 --> 00:12:57,964
That poor truck's been there all week.
331
00:12:58,058 --> 00:12:59,391
Well, I can move it.
332
00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:01,293
I've actually got a trucker's license.
333
00:13:01,362 --> 00:13:02,861
Mm, triple threat:
334
00:13:02,953 --> 00:13:05,063
mayor, truck driver,
335
00:13:05,156 --> 00:13:07,957
and legs for days.
336
00:13:20,147 --> 00:13:24,111
I'm gonna have to put a hold
on those funds, Adolphus.
337
00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:26,132
Something's come up. Right, Jayden?
338
00:13:26,209 --> 00:13:27,275
Um, yes.
339
00:13:27,343 --> 00:13:30,383
Uh, there's been an accident,
and the doctor said,
340
00:13:30,469 --> 00:13:33,181
"I can't operate on this boy.
He's my son,"
341
00:13:33,249 --> 00:13:36,684
- because the doctor was a mommy!
- Uh, who is this... oh, oh!
342
00:13:36,796 --> 00:13:39,230
- Wait! Wait!
- Sir, what's going on?
343
00:13:46,996 --> 00:13:48,468
Ms. Meskimen?
344
00:13:48,623 --> 00:13:50,064
I'm sorry to be calling so late,
345
00:13:50,171 --> 00:13:52,738
but I feel terrible
about what happened today,
346
00:13:52,807 --> 00:13:55,174
and I also had
a couple follow-up questions
347
00:13:55,242 --> 00:13:57,458
about the kiss of death
that you gave me.
348
00:13:57,505 --> 00:13:59,438
I thought I might hear from you tonight.
349
00:13:59,507 --> 00:14:00,706
Still can't sleep, huh?
350
00:14:00,775 --> 00:14:02,247
"We need to get to the root of this,"
351
00:14:02,310 --> 00:14:04,077
said the endangered California vole.
352
00:14:04,145 --> 00:14:05,445
Is that a joke,
353
00:14:05,513 --> 00:14:07,223
or did he really say that?
354
00:14:07,248 --> 00:14:08,347
I'm so tired.
355
00:14:08,408 --> 00:14:11,454
I know what kept me up
at night when I was your age.
356
00:14:11,540 --> 00:14:14,475
It was a little something
called impostor syndrome.
357
00:14:14,781 --> 00:14:16,914
Men are immune to it,
358
00:14:16,975 --> 00:14:19,042
but it's got a taste for skirts.
359
00:14:19,119 --> 00:14:21,005
It's that feeling that
you're in over your head
360
00:14:21,052 --> 00:14:22,393
and that everyone knows,
361
00:14:22,503 --> 00:14:25,196
and every time someone
mistakes you for an intern
362
00:14:25,257 --> 00:14:27,284
or leaves you off an email chain
363
00:14:27,378 --> 00:14:28,925
about entering through the garage
364
00:14:28,962 --> 00:14:30,784
to avoid getting eel thrown at you,
365
00:14:30,962 --> 00:14:32,504
that feeling grows,
366
00:14:32,566 --> 00:14:35,765
that feeling that
you don't deserve to be here.
367
00:14:35,834 --> 00:14:37,400
It adds up, right?
368
00:14:37,469 --> 00:14:39,897
I mean, what were your jobs before this?
369
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:41,446
According to LinkedIn,
370
00:14:41,538 --> 00:14:43,787
you were a vibe coordinator at The Wing.
371
00:14:43,959 --> 00:14:45,340
- Uh...
- And what the hell
372
00:14:45,409 --> 00:14:47,008
is the Fyre Festival?
373
00:14:47,085 --> 00:14:48,941
It would have worked if Blink-182
374
00:14:49,019 --> 00:14:50,153
had gotten on the plane.
375
00:14:50,221 --> 00:14:52,255
I think we both know
you don't believe that.
376
00:14:52,324 --> 00:14:54,934
Anyway, impostor syndrome,
that's your problem.
377
00:14:54,997 --> 00:14:57,327
Sweet dreams.
378
00:14:57,395 --> 00:14:58,628
Oh.
379
00:15:06,351 --> 00:15:08,084
Now will you tell me why we're here?
380
00:15:08,161 --> 00:15:10,028
I tried to tell you in the car, Jayden,
381
00:15:10,097 --> 00:15:12,097
but you wouldn't stop
singing along with the radio.
382
00:15:12,165 --> 00:15:14,497
Well, because Mandy Moore
has found her voice, sir.
383
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,600
All right.
384
00:15:15,669 --> 00:15:17,645
This is the closest bar to Hass Farms
385
00:15:17,696 --> 00:15:19,062
that doesn't sell wine.
386
00:15:19,130 --> 00:15:20,463
We're looking for truck drivers,
387
00:15:20,525 --> 00:15:24,151
anyone with a Local 63 hat
or a tramp stamp.
388
00:15:27,532 --> 00:15:29,599
Jackpot.
389
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,667
Excuse me, fellas, uh, sorry.
390
00:15:31,736 --> 00:15:33,467
Are you guys long haul or local?
391
00:15:33,562 --> 00:15:35,595
Honk, honk, beep, beep.
Am I right, guys?
392
00:15:35,664 --> 00:15:37,397
Uh, sorry. What were you saying?
393
00:15:37,473 --> 00:15:39,873
We all drive for big farms
in Simi Valley.
394
00:15:39,935 --> 00:15:41,334
I'm with Hass.
395
00:15:41,403 --> 00:15:42,542
- Really?
- Yeah.
396
00:15:42,589 --> 00:15:45,690
Well, I'm, uh, Local 848, Long Beach.
397
00:15:45,753 --> 00:15:47,841
A city boy.
398
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:50,744
Hey, city man, okay? Just look at him.
399
00:15:50,812 --> 00:15:52,251
Let me buy you guys a round.
400
00:15:52,329 --> 00:15:53,548
- You want four beers?
- No, no.
401
00:15:53,665 --> 00:15:55,528
Just seltzer for me. Thank you.
402
00:15:55,634 --> 00:15:56,566
- Really?
- Yeah.
403
00:15:56,635 --> 00:15:57,901
Are you driving late?
404
00:15:57,970 --> 00:15:59,336
Oh, maybe he's pregnant, sir.
405
00:15:59,405 --> 00:16:01,641
Well, I'm not supposed to talk about it,
406
00:16:01,752 --> 00:16:03,319
but driver to driver...
407
00:16:10,526 --> 00:16:12,092
So how was the rest of your night?
408
00:16:12,128 --> 00:16:14,471
- Not great, Arpi.
- Poor thing.
409
00:16:14,534 --> 00:16:17,034
Me, I slept like a baby:
410
00:16:17,071 --> 00:16:19,738
butt in the air, belly full of milk.
411
00:16:19,773 --> 00:16:22,007
Sleep deprivation's
a form of torture, you know?
412
00:16:22,042 --> 00:16:24,076
That's why you see so many new mothers
413
00:16:24,111 --> 00:16:25,978
weeping in the Whole Foods parking lot.
414
00:16:27,715 --> 00:16:29,214
I'll get that later.
415
00:16:29,250 --> 00:16:30,949
So would you like to sleep?
416
00:16:30,985 --> 00:16:33,585
Yes! Please, I'll do anything!
417
00:16:33,621 --> 00:16:35,187
What do you want? Money, drugs?
418
00:16:35,222 --> 00:16:36,455
I'll give you a piggyback ride.
419
00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:38,190
Okay, I'll quit torturing you.
420
00:16:38,225 --> 00:16:39,725
In fact,
421
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,760
I'll call you every night
and bore you to sleep.
422
00:16:41,795 --> 00:16:45,664
I'll be your own personal
little Lunesta insect.
423
00:16:45,699 --> 00:16:48,367
But first, I do need something from you.
424
00:16:48,402 --> 00:16:50,636
You want a kid? My sister's got two!
425
00:16:50,671 --> 00:16:52,638
One has blue eyes. How does that sound?
426
00:16:52,673 --> 00:16:54,439
You said you'd listen
to my presentation,
427
00:16:54,475 --> 00:16:55,874
and that's what you're gonna do.
428
00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:59,611
- Oh.
- Without falling asleep.
429
00:16:59,647 --> 00:17:03,615
Borings, they are anything but.
430
00:17:04,818 --> 00:17:06,718
Neil.
431
00:17:06,754 --> 00:17:08,553
Oh, I'm so glad you called.
432
00:17:08,589 --> 00:17:10,055
When you skedaddled like that yesterday,
433
00:17:10,090 --> 00:17:12,224
I thought maybe our deal was off.
434
00:17:12,259 --> 00:17:13,525
Get in here. Sit down.
435
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,559
Thank you.
436
00:17:14,595 --> 00:17:16,762
So yesterday,
437
00:17:16,797 --> 00:17:19,531
you said your trucks
hadn't gone out all week.
438
00:17:20,601 --> 00:17:22,734
Or are they?
439
00:17:22,770 --> 00:17:25,070
See...
440
00:17:25,105 --> 00:17:27,472
When I went out to move that truck,
441
00:17:27,508 --> 00:17:29,942
the headlights were on.
442
00:17:29,977 --> 00:17:33,045
The lights were on,
and the battery wasn't dead.
443
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,481
That truck had been driven
recently, at night.
444
00:17:36,517 --> 00:17:38,817
Ah. What's that supposed to prove?
445
00:17:38,852 --> 00:17:40,252
I'm only fidgeting like this
446
00:17:40,287 --> 00:17:42,054
because of my oversized genitals.
447
00:17:42,089 --> 00:17:44,256
So I talked to one of your drivers.
448
00:17:44,291 --> 00:17:46,425
You must be mistaken.
I don't have any drivers.
449
00:17:46,460 --> 00:17:47,759
I had to lay them off.
450
00:17:47,795 --> 00:17:49,494
I was confused, too, until I went out
451
00:17:49,530 --> 00:17:51,630
to your warehouse in Santa Clarita,
452
00:17:51,665 --> 00:17:53,966
and while Jayden distracted the dog...
453
00:17:54,001 --> 00:17:57,102
- With kisses.
- Guess what I found in there.
454
00:17:57,972 --> 00:17:59,638
'Cados.
455
00:17:59,673 --> 00:18:01,473
Whole warehouse full of 'em.
456
00:18:01,508 --> 00:18:03,976
That drought didn't ruin your harvest.
457
00:18:04,011 --> 00:18:06,578
It was just an excuse for you
to stockpile avocados
458
00:18:06,613 --> 00:18:07,980
to drive the prices up
459
00:18:08,015 --> 00:18:11,416
while you took a handout
from my taxpayers.
460
00:18:11,452 --> 00:18:12,884
You weren't gonna ship in any water.
461
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,320
You were just gonna ship
that money to your own pocket.
462
00:18:15,356 --> 00:18:17,322
Oh, snap.
463
00:18:17,358 --> 00:18:19,458
Yeah, and you almost got away
with it too.
464
00:18:19,493 --> 00:18:24,763
Except I'm still holding
all the cards, Mr. Mayor.
465
00:18:24,798 --> 00:18:27,766
You can't afford for the
shortage to go on much longer.
466
00:18:27,801 --> 00:18:31,136
Your own staff said you need
some positive press,
467
00:18:31,171 --> 00:18:33,538
so you need me.
468
00:18:33,574 --> 00:18:35,841
Tick-o-tockety, friend.
469
00:18:35,876 --> 00:18:37,509
Wait, is that supposed to be a clock?
470
00:18:37,544 --> 00:18:40,779
Tick-o-tockety for you.
471
00:18:40,814 --> 00:18:42,214
Give that guy a squeeze.
472
00:18:44,151 --> 00:18:45,751
It's not hard!
473
00:18:45,786 --> 00:18:47,252
They're ripening too early!
474
00:18:47,287 --> 00:18:49,354
I think that the City of Los Angeles
475
00:18:49,390 --> 00:18:50,856
will keep its money,
476
00:18:50,891 --> 00:18:53,258
'cause if you don't get
those avocados on the street,
477
00:18:53,293 --> 00:18:54,659
you're toast.
478
00:18:54,695 --> 00:18:56,194
Plain toast.
479
00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:57,229
You son of a bitch!
480
00:18:57,264 --> 00:18:59,331
Now, get out of here.
481
00:18:59,366 --> 00:19:01,299
We don't have time for you!
482
00:19:07,207 --> 00:19:09,041
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
483
00:19:09,076 --> 00:19:10,709
I got scared when he threw the...
484
00:19:10,744 --> 00:19:13,278
Which brings us to the end.
485
00:19:13,313 --> 00:19:14,646
So what do you say?
486
00:19:14,681 --> 00:19:16,748
Take it to the mayor for real?
487
00:19:16,784 --> 00:19:19,117
Absolutely not.
488
00:19:19,153 --> 00:19:20,274
I'm sorry, what?
489
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:22,656
Arpi, if we deprivatize
the borings process,
490
00:19:22,733 --> 00:19:25,336
there may be a period of time
where we can't guarantee
491
00:19:25,374 --> 00:19:27,571
the safety of LA's drinking water?
492
00:19:27,650 --> 00:19:30,242
24 hours max, people can stockpile.
493
00:19:30,281 --> 00:19:33,370
- They'll use bathtubs.
- You can't mess with people's water, Arpi
494
00:19:33,441 --> 00:19:35,661
When I was hydration's ***
for the Fyre Festival
495
00:19:35,731 --> 00:19:37,330
it went sideways fast.
496
00:19:37,366 --> 00:19:39,366
Billy McFarland hired Adriana Lima
497
00:19:39,401 --> 00:19:42,235
to captain the Evian boat,
and she sank it,
498
00:19:42,271 --> 00:19:44,838
and then 20,000 stoned idiots panicked
499
00:19:44,873 --> 00:19:46,373
and started drinking salt water.
500
00:19:46,408 --> 00:19:47,774
You should just watch the documentary.
501
00:19:47,810 --> 00:19:49,076
I look so thin.
502
00:19:49,111 --> 00:19:50,844
And that took place
on a mountain of guano
503
00:19:50,879 --> 00:19:52,212
in the middle of the ocean,
504
00:19:52,247 --> 00:19:56,783
but LA is a desert
with 3 million stoned idiots.
505
00:19:56,819 --> 00:19:58,018
We do not want to be
506
00:19:58,053 --> 00:19:59,519
the Billy McFarlands of Los Angeles,
507
00:19:59,555 --> 00:20:02,189
so it's a hard no, Arpi.
508
00:20:03,459 --> 00:20:04,658
Huh.
509
00:20:04,693 --> 00:20:07,194
Well, obviously,
I'm disappointed, but...
510
00:20:07,229 --> 00:20:09,229
you seem to know
what you're talking about.
511
00:20:09,264 --> 00:20:10,897
Oh, I do.
512
00:20:10,933 --> 00:20:12,833
You mess up water, next thing you know,
513
00:20:12,868 --> 00:20:14,434
some trust fund douche named Preston
514
00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:17,537
is pulling turtles apart
to get their liquid.
515
00:20:17,573 --> 00:20:19,439
Hard to argue with that.
516
00:20:19,475 --> 00:20:20,540
Very good.
517
00:20:20,576 --> 00:20:22,042
Thank you for your time.
518
00:20:22,077 --> 00:20:24,811
Would you like me
to put you to sleep tonight?
519
00:20:24,847 --> 00:20:27,347
I think I'm gonna be all right.
520
00:20:27,382 --> 00:20:28,448
I'm feeling...
521
00:20:28,484 --> 00:20:31,451
Like you're the real deal
and not an impostor.
522
00:20:31,487 --> 00:20:32,552
Good for you.
523
00:20:34,189 --> 00:20:36,089
- I'm not an intern!
- I know.
524
00:20:36,125 --> 00:20:38,158
I was bringing you
a goldfish to apologize.
525
00:20:38,193 --> 00:20:40,327
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
526
00:20:40,362 --> 00:20:41,709
Oh, no.
527
00:20:41,803 --> 00:20:43,169
Avocados are back on the shelves,
528
00:20:43,205 --> 00:20:45,271
and Angelinos are back to being happy.
529
00:20:45,307 --> 00:20:46,505
On the outside.
530
00:20:46,638 --> 00:20:48,742
I just want to thank Mayor Bremer.
531
00:20:48,777 --> 00:20:50,777
Now my baby's back on keto.
532
00:20:50,812 --> 00:20:53,213
I know, this is three months postpartum?
533
00:20:53,248 --> 00:20:54,981
Well, there's always a solution, Tommy.
534
00:20:55,017 --> 00:20:57,283
Solution. That reminds me.
535
00:20:57,319 --> 00:20:58,892
I have to go flush out my dog bites.
536
00:20:58,917 --> 00:21:00,854
We're joined now live
by the mayor's chief of staff,
537
00:21:00,889 --> 00:21:02,188
Mikaela Shaw, who, uh...
538
00:21:02,224 --> 00:21:05,392
Ms. Shaw?
539
00:21:05,427 --> 00:21:08,161
Harry Potter, take me to the ball?
540
00:21:08,196 --> 00:21:09,629
'Bout Cho Chang?
541
00:21:09,664 --> 00:21:11,164
- Ms. Shaw?
- Whatever.
542
00:21:11,199 --> 00:21:12,399
I'll boogie.
543
00:21:13,918 --> 00:21:15,057
Ms. Shaw?
544
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:17,274
No further questions.
545
00:21:19,345 --> 00:21:23,345
