1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,360
Luke Hollis has the chance to make all
his dreams come true tonight. A player
2
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,520
known for his power.
3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,160
And gusto. Are you kidding me?
4
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:24,360
That is a garbage call!
5
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:31,740
Garbage! As a loose of root, he brought
tennis into a whole new era. But after a
6
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:36,640
series of injuries, rumors of money
trouble, and a career approaching
7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,300
age, one thing has always eluded Hollis.
8
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,220
A major tournament victory.
9
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:50,460
But tonight, that could all change.
10
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,180
A full house has gathered here to watch
Hollis compete in the final match of
11
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:56,240
this grueling tournament.
12
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:03,420
This could be a chance of a lifetime to
secure his name in the Tennis Hall of
13
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:04,420
Champions.
14
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,800
It's the biggest match of his career.
Does Hollis have what it takes to be a
15
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,800
winner?
16
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,140
He's done it, folks! He's done it!
Hollis with a win!
17
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,020
That feels good. Feels good.
18
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,700
So good, in fact, that I...
19
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:36,470
I get to say this.
20
00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:41,070
I would like to take this opportunity to
officially announce my retirement from
21
00:01:41,070 --> 00:01:42,070
the game of tennis.
22
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:44,290
Yep.
23
00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:49,050
Headed back home to Florida.
24
00:01:49,330 --> 00:01:50,730
Got some big plans coming.
25
00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:55,750
Trust me, trust me, when it comes to the
future of tennis, Luke Hollis will
26
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:57,050
absolutely be a part of it.
27
00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:06,150
one of my top clients.
28
00:02:07,530 --> 00:02:10,770
Might I remind you, Amy, that this was
the plan all along.
29
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:13,450
We go out on a win, we don't overstay
our welcome.
30
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:16,190
And secure your legacy as a champion, I
know.
31
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:20,510
But you sure you don't want to secure
your legacy as a two -time champion?
32
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:22,590
You don't want to conquer Wimbledon?
33
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:24,250
Cooper!
34
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:25,950
We don't play with the outlet.
35
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:28,570
Have I been allowed back at Wimbledon
after last year?
36
00:02:28,990 --> 00:02:30,630
What, do you want to pay 10 % of my
fines?
37
00:02:30,890 --> 00:02:32,150
Yeah, absolutely not.
38
00:02:32,450 --> 00:02:33,450
Oh!
39
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Old rival Toby Thicke, he's also retired
in Florida.
40
00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:39,920
Sure you're not interested in a grudge
match?
41
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,840
We could command an impressive
exhibition fee.
42
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,400
Amy, I'm headed straight home in the
morning.
43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,680
It's the last thing in the world I want
to think about.
44
00:02:47,940 --> 00:02:50,040
Oh, yeah, a nice Christmas with the
family.
45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,800
I bet they're so proud.
46
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,120
Um, how did they respond to the plan?
47
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:55,900
I haven't told them yet.
48
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,420
Luke. I tried. I tried.
49
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:02,060
Apparently they're stuck in meetings
back home. Some last minute thing?
50
00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:03,620
Sounded intense.
51
00:03:05,420 --> 00:03:09,460
And don't let me keep you. I've got four
kids to take care of and another client
52
00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:11,620
who just discovered Twitter. God help
me.
53
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,380
Congrats again, Lukey. I hope you're
celebrating the big win.
54
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,880
Thank you, Amy. Yeah, I should probably
get back to the party. Okay, bye.
55
00:03:57,610 --> 00:04:02,170
intro to pickleball my name is caroline
less and i am the head pickleball pro
56
00:04:02,170 --> 00:04:06,630
here at sandy lake racket club now one
of the best things about this sport is
57
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:11,510
how easy it is to learn seriously i
played tennis for years before i could
58
00:04:11,510 --> 00:04:16,050
in a real match but i promise you this
before the end of day i will have each
59
00:04:16,050 --> 00:04:21,250
and every one of you playing a real
legitimate game of pickleball how's that
60
00:04:21,250 --> 00:04:22,250
sound
61
00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:28,340
I can't promise we're all going to be as
good as Nancy and Barb over here.
62
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,120
Now, you better listen to Coach Lapp.
She taught us everything we know.
63
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:33,340
All right, ladies.
64
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,520
Why don't we take our place on the
court?
65
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,440
Let's do this.
66
00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:40,600
So happy you're here.
67
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,720
Okay.
68
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Let's go.
69
00:04:58,280 --> 00:04:59,340
I was talking with the developers
earlier.
70
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,560
What's the verdict?
71
00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:03,840
Well, they want to start construction
right away.
72
00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:09,260
So if we can't raise enough money by the
end of the year, we have no choice but
73
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:10,260
to sign the deal.
74
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:13,460
Their wrecking balls will be here in
January.
75
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:15,640
Well, that gives us a few weeks.
76
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:19,400
This club is not a lot to the community.
77
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,980
We're not going out without a fight.
78
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,420
There's too many luxury condos in
Florida as it is.
79
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:28,840
We so appreciate everything you've done
for this place, Caroline.
80
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,219
Aw.
81
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:31,720
It's not up to you to save it.
82
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:34,180
Hey, we're going to make it happen,
okay?
83
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:38,420
We've got more infants every day. They
go, pardon me, it's picking up steam.
84
00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:41,580
they're going to advertise this about
monetizing the live stream of the
85
00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:42,580
tournament.
86
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,780
Something big is around this corner.
87
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,320
I can feel it.
88
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:50,260
Okay. All right.
89
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:51,820
See ya.
90
00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:12,820
Oh, looking good, hon. Just sagging a
bit on your left.
91
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:14,760
Okay, um, how's that?
92
00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:17,760
Oh, no, no, no. It's sagging on your
right.
93
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:19,319
Thanks, mother.
94
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,259
What's that, honey?
95
00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:21,280
Yeah, nothing, Mom.
96
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,580
Yeah, I think it's sagging a bit to the
right.
97
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:35,000
Wow. My gosh.
98
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:39,220
Give your mother a hug. Good to be home.
Oh, my gosh. Look at you. How you
99
00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:40,220
doing? I'm so good.
100
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,280
Oh, my gosh. How was your flight? Oh, it
was easy.
101
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,260
It was your first Christmas in a long
time. I know. Did you make the cookies?
102
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,860
I did. The special cookies.
103
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Oh, honey. Your father turned your old
room into a workout room. Hope you don't
104
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,240
mind, Sherry.
105
00:07:02,119 --> 00:07:03,520
Welcome home. Hey.
106
00:07:03,940 --> 00:07:05,000
What a match.
107
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:09,760
We were shouting at the TV. Well, a bit
of a surprise hearing about the
108
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,760
retirement, though.
109
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:12,180
We should talk.
110
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,540
Yeah. It's really great to have you home
this Christmas.
111
00:07:16,820 --> 00:07:19,280
Yeah. It feels good to be home, too.
112
00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:22,100
I got something to talk to you guys
about a little bit later.
113
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:23,380
Okay.
114
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,440
Oh.
115
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,100
The prodigal son returned.
116
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,120
Interesting seeing you here.
117
00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:32,120
Don't you have some boyfriend's family
to annoy this Christmas?
118
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Well, now that you're retired, don't you
have a bingo game to catch?
119
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,300
Or better yet, golf clubs to monogram?
120
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,360
Don't you have a sad story to write
about a sad girl who reads sad books and
121
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,440
nobody understands her?
122
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,620
Yeah, well, even if I wrote that story,
we both know you couldn't read it.
123
00:07:46,940 --> 00:07:52,080
Hey, listen, if I was you, I'd go to bed
now because Dad is up and at him at 6 a
124
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,780
.m. on that bike every day.
125
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,400
He's very disciplined.
126
00:07:55,780 --> 00:07:56,780
You have fun with that.
127
00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:12,450
you'll find the prices of six luxury pre
-owned vehicles are a real boom, grand
128
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:14,690
slam. And that's the Toby Thicke
guarantee.
129
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:18,170
I can't believe that is your biggest
rival in tennis.
130
00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:20,130
Okay, everybody set?
131
00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:23,250
You guys comfortable? See the TV? Yeah?
Yeah.
132
00:08:23,490 --> 00:08:24,490
Great.
133
00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:28,970
The Sandy Lake Racquet Club has been
owned and operated by the Hollis family
134
00:08:28,970 --> 00:08:34,070
over 30 years. And during that era, it
has trained thousands of young tennis
135
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:35,490
players, including...
136
00:08:36,620 --> 00:08:37,700
A certain champion.
137
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,400
Yes.
138
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,659
Thanks, Mom.
139
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:43,820
But now it's time for a new era.
140
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,700
The era of the Luke Hollis Champion
Center.
141
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Yeah? It's the rebrand the club has been
missing, right?
142
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:01,400
It's time to turn Sandy Lake into the
elite academy that the next generation
143
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,200
tennis stars, the ones who pay top
dollar, by the way, cannot ignore.
144
00:09:05,870 --> 00:09:11,030
And since I'm leaving my professional
career, I can take over and you guys can
145
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:13,070
finally retire, just like we've always
planned.
146
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:21,430
Well, what do you think?
147
00:09:23,310 --> 00:09:24,310
Don't, Jordan.
148
00:09:24,670 --> 00:09:25,670
No.
149
00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:31,490
Luke, there's something we need to tell
you.
150
00:09:39,130 --> 00:09:43,690
Why? Why did nobody tell me about this?
Florida has enough luxury condos as it
151
00:09:43,690 --> 00:09:45,190
is. I totally agree.
152
00:09:45,610 --> 00:09:49,690
Luke, sweetheart, we wanted to tell you
we also knew you had a big year last
153
00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:53,130
year, and we just didn't know when we
would see you next. Honestly, you should
154
00:09:53,130 --> 00:09:56,710
be thanking us. Well, you've been off
traveling the world. We have been stuck
155
00:09:56,710 --> 00:10:00,070
here dealing with accountants and
staring at spreadsheets. Yeah, and I
156
00:10:00,070 --> 00:10:01,070
have helped. Son, son.
157
00:10:01,950 --> 00:10:03,450
COVID hit us really hard. Yeah.
158
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:08,520
In our business, there's just so much
overhead. And that long without revenue?
159
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,360
The developer made us a deal that we
couldn't ignore.
160
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:20,140
This way we still get to retire. Just
lose the club that's been in our family
161
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:21,140
for 30 years?
162
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,600
When does this deal go through?
163
00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:26,060
The first week of the new year?
164
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Yeah. Okay. All right. So that gives us
what? Two, three weeks? That's not
165
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,360
impossible. Come on.
166
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,400
Do you think that we have just been
sitting around on our butts waiting for
167
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,740
to come home and save us all?
168
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:40,780
We have been working tirelessly on this
for the last six months. We have gone to
169
00:10:40,780 --> 00:10:42,780
the city and applied for historic
property status.
170
00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:46,200
We set up a GoFundMe page, and
Caroline's running a giant tournament on
171
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,500
Christmas. Who's Caroline?
172
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,320
Oh, she works at the club. She's quite
wonderful.
173
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,120
Yeah. You're going to like her.
174
00:10:54,460 --> 00:10:56,240
She's so classic. She doesn't even know
who she is.
175
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:59,480
Okay, guys, let's take it down a notch.
It'll calm down.
176
00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:00,780
It'll calm down.
177
00:11:07,660 --> 00:11:09,720
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
178
00:11:11,820 --> 00:11:13,540
Can't nobody tell me who I'm going to
be.
179
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,560
Dick dog for this wide of free.
180
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,700
Walk your head up to the metronome. To
the beat, to the bang, to the bop, bop.
181
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:20,700
Oh, oh.
182
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,720
And that's why I'm here. We're going to
work on drop shots all... Can I help
183
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,720
you?
184
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:48,240
Um, yeah, yeah. You can tell me what the
hell happened to my tennis court.
185
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:49,500
Your tennis court?
186
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Yeah, the one I've been training on
since long before you ever showed up.
187
00:11:55,260 --> 00:11:56,480
You must be Luke.
188
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Yeah. I've heard so much about you.
189
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:05,820
Well, Luke, uh, your tennis court, which
fit two players at a time, or...
190
00:12:06,140 --> 00:12:10,480
One, if he's entitled enough, has now
been converted into four pickleball
191
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,480
courts, which can fit 16 players at a
time. But if you're looking for a tennis
192
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,380
court, there are plenty on the other
side of the facility.
193
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:21,520
Or you can play with Barb if you like.
She's looking for a partner.
194
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,280
Look, if you and the Golden Girls want
to play long games at the nursing home,
195
00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:29,359
that's great.
196
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,360
But not here.
197
00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:34,200
Like I said, there are plenty of tennis
courts on the other side of the
198
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,200
facility.
199
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:36,780
Lucky for both of us.
200
00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:45,100
Oh, Carolyn, where'd all that fat come
from?
201
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,180
Um, I have no idea. Barb, I'm sorry you
had to see that. I can see why they call
202
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:52,260
him Luke's brood.
203
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,780
Oh, Jamie has to go.
204
00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:57,580
I pay good money to see that butt on the
pickleball courts.
205
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,160
Okay.
206
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,100
All right, can we just, let's work on
this drop shot. Let's focus, gals.
207
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:20,959
Sorry, son.
208
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,580
I've got to keep my streak alive.
209
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,840
Coffee's on downstairs.
210
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:31,540
Don't get this body by accident.
211
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,240
You know, I tried to convince him to
move that bike to the garage.
212
00:13:44,980 --> 00:13:48,400
Maybe stubbornness isn't the only thing
you inherited from your father.
213
00:13:48,940 --> 00:13:50,620
There's some gray hairs on your little
chin.
214
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:58,220
I am really sorry,
215
00:13:58,460 --> 00:13:59,460
Luke.
216
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:02,860
It was always our dream to have you
carry on the club.
217
00:14:03,620 --> 00:14:09,300
But when you made pro, I guess we
assumed your dreams changed. And they
218
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,400
didn't they?
219
00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:14,100
Playing professionally was a dream come
true.
220
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,520
But there was always more.
221
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:19,660
So it was another match.
222
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:24,700
So it was another win. And at some
point, coming home and running the club,
223
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:27,060
became the thing I was really looking
forward to next.
224
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:30,920
Really? More than winning a major?
225
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,280
Yeah, maybe.
226
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,180
You know, there was a point that I could
have helped out more with the money.
227
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,680
Please.
228
00:14:38,780 --> 00:14:39,780
You know your father.
229
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,820
He was far too stubborn to borrow money
from his own son.
230
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,680
He was almost too proud to add
pickleball courts to the club.
231
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,940
But it really helped. I mean, it helped
us out a lot when we needed it the most.
232
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,360
Yeah, we can discuss that part later.
But in terms of the money, how bad is
233
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:01,540
Really bad.
234
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,300
Whoa. Yeah.
235
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,120
What happens when we factor in my prize
money?
236
00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:10,180
Oh, you mean your prize money after you
pay your taxes, your reps, all your
237
00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:13,880
fines, and your bad debts over the last
five years? Hey, they said NFTs were a
238
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,240
sure thing, okay? How was I supposed to
know? Okay, okay.
239
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,540
It definitely helps, but it's three
weeks until the deal closes. It's not
240
00:15:21,540 --> 00:15:22,620
to be enough in time.
241
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,020
What else do we have?
242
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,900
Well, we have the GoFundMe page, which
is helping, and we have the tournament.
243
00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:31,140
We have a tennis tournament?
244
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,000
A pickleball tournament, actually, on
Christmas Day.
245
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,660
And all the proceeds go to the club.
246
00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:39,900
That cannot be the plan.
247
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,380
Even if we get hundreds of entrants,
that's not going to... We already have
248
00:15:43,380 --> 00:15:44,380
a hundred entrants.
249
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:46,640
And you're right, it won't.
250
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,160
Jordan here, though, had the idea of
live streaming the tournament so the
251
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,820
viewers we get, the more money we raise.
252
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,660
People actually watch pickleball? Way
more than you think. It's the fastest
253
00:15:56,660 --> 00:16:02,380
growing sport in America. And with a
name like Luke Hollis, we could get more
254
00:16:02,380 --> 00:16:05,300
viewers. Ah, that's a great idea.
255
00:16:06,460 --> 00:16:07,460
Absolutely not.
256
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,460
I'm a tennis player. I'm not going to
join this glorified Zumba class named
257
00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:13,060
after the worst ingredient on a
sandwich.
258
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,000
Um, actually, it's named after a dog. I
thought it was a boat. Okay, both of
259
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
those are worse.
260
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:19,780
And why do you care, anyway?
261
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,220
I mean, there are plenty of country
clubs in Florida. You can get a job
262
00:16:23,220 --> 00:16:25,040
anywhere. I don't want a job anywhere
else.
263
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,820
And excuse you, she hasn't worked here
way longer than you.
264
00:16:28,380 --> 00:16:30,140
You have no idea what she's put into
this place.
265
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:33,840
Well, anyway, Christmas is less than two
weeks away.
266
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:37,260
But if you come up with a better idea,
you just let me know.
267
00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:44,060
Anything?
268
00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:45,740
Sandy,
269
00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:48,480
hey, what's going on?
270
00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:52,920
Yeah, look, I got a little situation
here, and I need your help. How would
271
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,180
feel about coming to Pinecrest, Florida?
272
00:16:57,060 --> 00:16:58,060
Pinecrest, Florida.
273
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Nope, totally cool.
274
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:00,780
Yeah, all right, thanks.
275
00:17:02,140 --> 00:17:04,240
Heath Hoffman, what's up, buddy?
276
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,140
Oh, been a minute. Been a minute. Look,
give me a call back when you get a
277
00:17:09,140 --> 00:17:12,400
chance. I've got a great investment
opportunity for you.
278
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:13,700
Okay?
279
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,800
Call me back.
280
00:17:15,420 --> 00:17:16,420
Please.
281
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:21,339
Hey, Amy, it's Luke.
282
00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:24,000
Let me call back when you get a chance,
okay?
283
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,680
Thanks.
284
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:30,680
Amy, Amy, you are the best.
285
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,660
I told you we'd be working together
again.
286
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,980
I'll have to call in a few favors, but I
think we can make this work.
287
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Leave the details to me.
288
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:39,240
Are you sure about this?
289
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,640
Yeah, I'm sure.
290
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,480
That was nice.
291
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,920
Oh.
292
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,480
I'm still better, though.
293
00:17:52,940 --> 00:17:54,160
I know how to save the club.
294
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:56,060
Do you?
295
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:57,500
Talk to me.
296
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,400
Look, I know that you and I both play
sports that are diametrically opposed to
297
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:03,939
one another.
298
00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:05,720
Oh, you are such a drama queen.
299
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,540
But we do have a shared interest in
keeping this club alive.
300
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Now, just get off the phone with my
agent.
301
00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:17,010
connected in the sports broadcasting
world. Someone at PIC TV owes her a
302
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:22,590
They can really scale up this whole live
streaming camera crew, full coverage,
303
00:18:22,690 --> 00:18:24,470
ad partnerships, whatever we need.
304
00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:27,010
And they'll pay for the rights to stream
it.
305
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:28,550
Enough for us to keep the club.
306
00:18:28,970 --> 00:18:31,070
Okay, sure, but what's in it for them?
307
00:18:32,170 --> 00:18:36,170
Me. I'll, you know, lend my name and
likeness to the tournament. I'll be in
308
00:18:36,170 --> 00:18:39,710
the promos. Amy says I'm still trending
after the win. Oh, and I'm glad that's
309
00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:41,110
not going to your head. Okay, sure,
but...
310
00:18:41,340 --> 00:18:43,100
What are we advertising that you're
doing?
311
00:18:43,580 --> 00:18:46,000
You're not exactly known for your
charming personality.
312
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:51,040
I'll be the host, okay? I can emcee.
I'll do interviews. I'll drop hot tape.
313
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,560
Yeah, this tournament is about our
community here, okay? I'm not about to
314
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,100
it into the Luke Hollis show.
315
00:18:58,740 --> 00:18:59,740
Hey, hey, hey.
316
00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:03,560
Amy! Long time no talk.
317
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Oh, really?
318
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Well, that's good news.
319
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,740
Great news, actually.
320
00:19:10,139 --> 00:19:11,540
Yeah, he mentioned it.
321
00:19:12,180 --> 00:19:13,180
Oh, okay.
322
00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:14,460
You sure?
323
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,280
Yeah, well, if that's the way it's got
to be.
324
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,300
Great. Bye.
325
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,140
That was Amy, obviously.
326
00:19:22,860 --> 00:19:24,380
And? Did she lock in the deal?
327
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Yes.
328
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,500
Pick TV has agreed to pay for the
exclusive rights to three more
329
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,080
That's great.
330
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,080
Yeah. But not to the club.
331
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,300
The payout will go to the winners of the
tournament.
332
00:19:35,940 --> 00:19:37,980
They want to attract top talent from
across the country.
333
00:19:43,679 --> 00:19:45,240
What? You're going to need to play.
334
00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:47,700
And you're going to need to win.
335
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,140
No, no, I'm hosting. I'm not playing,
remember?
336
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,440
Don't you get it?
337
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,520
You're the draw.
338
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,900
Nobody wants to see Luke the Brute's
skills with a microphone.
339
00:19:57,220 --> 00:20:00,820
They want to see a big -time tennis
player actually playing the same sport.
340
00:20:00,820 --> 00:20:04,400
if you really want to save this club,
you have to get good enough to win the
341
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,040
money. I'm not worried about that.
342
00:20:07,180 --> 00:20:08,540
This is a serious...
343
00:20:08,910 --> 00:20:11,250
Tournament with serious players can't
risk losing.
344
00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:14,010
Your line can coach you.
345
00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:17,870
Today is the 13th, which means you have
12 days.
346
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:20,150
The 12 days of Christmas.
347
00:20:20,570 --> 00:20:22,470
It's cute, but I don't need her help.
348
00:20:23,210 --> 00:20:24,210
Huh.
349
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:27,310
Sure about that?
350
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:30,190
Fine.
351
00:20:30,490 --> 00:20:31,510
I'll work with you.
352
00:20:33,030 --> 00:20:34,030
For the club.
353
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:35,310
Yeah.
354
00:20:35,770 --> 00:20:37,890
Yeah. For the club.
355
00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:56,750
Surprise, you're actually on time.
356
00:20:57,490 --> 00:20:59,230
I should say I had an early wake -up
call.
357
00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:02,170
Look good, feel good, do better.
358
00:21:02,490 --> 00:21:04,890
Look good, feel good, do better.
359
00:21:08,530 --> 00:21:09,530
Hey, I have an idea.
360
00:21:10,030 --> 00:21:15,150
What if you and I, we just play a game
of singles right now, and if I win, then
361
00:21:15,150 --> 00:21:17,790
I probably don't need your coaching, and
then I'll be freed up to do more
362
00:21:17,790 --> 00:21:19,470
important things like marketing the
tournament.
363
00:21:19,890 --> 00:21:22,710
Oh, that's kind of hard to win a
tournament when you don't know the rules
364
00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:23,710
game.
365
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:27,260
Besides... In our case, pickleball is a
doubles sport.
366
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,560
I don't play doubles.
367
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:30,680
Oh, well, you do now.
368
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000
All right.
369
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:35,000
Do you know what makes pickleball unique
from tennis?
370
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,080
The dumb name.
371
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,980
Sure. The courts may be smaller.
372
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,420
The net may be shorter. And, yeah, the
ball is made of plastic and has holes in
373
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:47,600
it. But the kitchen.
374
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:49,720
I'm sorry, what? The kitchen?
375
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:50,559
Mm -hmm.
376
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,180
Who is coming up with these names?
377
00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:53,380
The kitchen.
378
00:21:53,450 --> 00:21:55,950
It's a seven -foot deep area closest to
the net.
379
00:21:56,210 --> 00:22:01,970
A player cannot hit a ball out of the
air from inside the kitchen, which means
380
00:22:01,970 --> 00:22:06,730
no signature Luke Hollis slam when
you're standing at the net, okay?
381
00:22:07,470 --> 00:22:08,610
You've been watching me play?
382
00:22:09,150 --> 00:22:10,150
Look,
383
00:22:11,230 --> 00:22:14,330
you can slam as hard as you want, just
not when you're inside of the kitchen,
384
00:22:14,470 --> 00:22:15,470
all right?
385
00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:20,670
Now, your opponent is going to know.
386
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,500
Not to serve you meatballs that you can
smack.
387
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:25,260
No.
388
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,780
You're going to place it inside of the
kitchen, and you're going to have to be
389
00:22:29,780 --> 00:22:33,280
patient. You've got to pull back on your
power, and you've got to play the ball
390
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,040
softly, off the bounce.
391
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,500
The kitchen is everything, okay? When
you're in trouble, it's a safe place to
392
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:44,040
put the ball and reset the speed from
fast to slow.
393
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,220
All right? It's a fresh start.
394
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,280
If you want to win this, you have to
rely on finesse,
395
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,620
Power. Okay.
396
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,900
All right.
397
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:05,260
Not bad.
398
00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:09,500
Wow, this is so difficult.
399
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,220
I am falling asleep. What's this type of
hitting called again?
400
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,260
Thinking.
401
00:23:22,020 --> 00:23:23,020
Yeah, I know.
402
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,500
Okay. Okay, no, all right. I'm sorry.
403
00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:27,180
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
404
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,280
Just, I think I know what to do.
405
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Dink me.
406
00:23:31,060 --> 00:23:31,859
Dink me?
407
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:32,860
Yeah, no one says that.
408
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,180
Um, what, are you afraid to dink me?
409
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,120
Oh, absolutely not.
410
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,160
All right, now, dink me again. Mm -hmm.
411
00:23:47,420 --> 00:23:48,420
Yeah.
412
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:51,600
Let's do something else, huh?
413
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,320
Servings put away.
414
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:54,340
Yeah, sure.
415
00:23:54,460 --> 00:23:56,160
After we dig 500 more times.
416
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,780
Whoopsie, missed that one.
417
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,840
There you go, kitten.
418
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,440
Woo!
419
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:08,900
Welcome,
420
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,360
everybody, to the annual, 20th annual
Santa Showdown.
421
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,020
Please help yourself to some
refreshments if you haven't already. And
422
00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:19,180
forget to buy your wrap.
423
00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:22,210
Okay. Sure about this?
424
00:24:22,890 --> 00:24:25,830
Seems like a lot of risk for the club
and maybe for you too.
425
00:24:26,170 --> 00:24:27,430
What other choice do we have?
426
00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:29,530
It's the only option that'll cover the
cost.
427
00:24:29,910 --> 00:24:32,810
Okay, well, I'm not going to stop you
from trying, but I just want you to know
428
00:24:32,810 --> 00:24:34,610
your mom and I, we've made peace with it
all.
429
00:24:35,410 --> 00:24:39,050
She's even been planning for the final
Christmas gala since summer.
430
00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:41,010
It's closure for her.
431
00:24:43,250 --> 00:24:44,250
Come on, Dad.
432
00:24:45,010 --> 00:24:47,670
I mean, didn't it feel satisfying
training together?
433
00:24:48,430 --> 00:24:51,710
Working our way up, building a name for
ourselves in this place.
434
00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:56,890
Ever since I was six years old, tennis
has been my life. And this place has
435
00:24:56,890 --> 00:24:57,890
my home.
436
00:24:58,330 --> 00:24:59,530
What about the next kid?
437
00:25:00,210 --> 00:25:04,270
He deserves a place in this world. And a
coach who knows how it all works.
438
00:25:05,390 --> 00:25:06,390
Okay.
439
00:25:06,690 --> 00:25:07,690
Fair enough.
440
00:25:07,870 --> 00:25:11,750
I appreciate the effort, son. I really
do. I just want to make sure you're
441
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:12,750
it for the right reasons.
442
00:25:13,710 --> 00:25:15,690
I just can't believe that now I'm
playing pickleball.
443
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,220
All right, all right. Neither one of us
can afford to look at it that way.
444
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,840
Besides, I gotta say, it's kind of fun.
445
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Okay, what's up here?
446
00:25:24,260 --> 00:25:25,980
Guys, guys, what's... Line dispute.
447
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,360
Hang tight.
448
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,020
Hey! Come on, fellas!
449
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,280
How about a little bit of Christmas
spirit?
450
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,020
No, no swearing on the court.
451
00:25:35,420 --> 00:25:36,420
No, no, no, no!
452
00:25:37,340 --> 00:25:39,560
Is that your knee?
453
00:25:48,490 --> 00:25:50,710
How was your first practice? Did you and
Caroline get along?
454
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:52,630
Yeah, we're best friends now.
455
00:25:53,210 --> 00:25:55,750
Yes, I'm sure you were as charming and
empathetic as ever.
456
00:25:56,090 --> 00:26:00,450
Listen, I actually like Caroline, and
she's doing like a million things here
457
00:26:00,450 --> 00:26:04,530
this Christmas, so can you please just
do her a favor and not hit on her or try
458
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:07,610
any other funny business while she's at
work? Believe me, that is not something
459
00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:08,610
you need to worry about.
460
00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:09,750
Why not?
461
00:26:09,970 --> 00:26:11,670
Are you, like, dating someone else or
something?
462
00:26:13,610 --> 00:26:17,950
I've spent the last 15 years of my life
in hotels, gyms, and on whatever court I
463
00:26:17,950 --> 00:26:21,630
could find that hasn't been the most
relationship -friendly lifestyle.
464
00:26:23,070 --> 00:26:25,190
That actually sounds kind of tough.
465
00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:29,390
What about you?
466
00:26:29,810 --> 00:26:32,570
Are you dating... Oh, ew, no.
467
00:26:33,170 --> 00:26:37,610
The dating pool here is not exactly my
type of pool. I'm not interested in golf
468
00:26:37,610 --> 00:26:41,650
bros who flip houses or tennis
Neanderthals who are only interested in
469
00:26:41,650 --> 00:26:42,650
last name.
470
00:26:43,530 --> 00:26:45,070
Been in locker rooms with tennis
players.
471
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:46,270
Don't date tennis players.
472
00:26:46,770 --> 00:26:47,770
Noted.
473
00:26:48,550 --> 00:26:50,370
Okay, well, bye.
474
00:26:56,290 --> 00:27:02,430
You promised me that the 60mm would
change our game. Yeah, but Phoebe, how
475
00:27:02,430 --> 00:27:03,430
classes have you taken?
476
00:27:03,650 --> 00:27:06,550
You know, I always say, it's the player,
not the paddle.
477
00:27:06,830 --> 00:27:08,270
Then why aren't we winning more games?
478
00:27:08,730 --> 00:27:10,050
Yeah, well...
479
00:27:10,430 --> 00:27:14,190
Takes a lot of training to compete at
this level. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, wait,
480
00:27:14,210 --> 00:27:17,390
wait. What are you saying? Are you
saying that we are not good enough to
481
00:27:17,390 --> 00:27:18,390
compete? No.
482
00:27:18,990 --> 00:27:22,890
No. Come on. You two are some of the
best players we've got here.
483
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:28,450
Seriously. Everybody here is talking
about how you two are the team to beat
484
00:27:28,450 --> 00:27:29,450
the tournament.
485
00:27:29,570 --> 00:27:32,150
And you know what? If that paddle isn't
working for you, let's switch it out for
486
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:33,810
one that does the trick, huh? How's that
sound?
487
00:27:34,170 --> 00:27:35,270
Really? Yes.
488
00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:38,870
Yeah, and you know what? When you do
find a paddle that you like, let's book
489
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:39,870
hitting session together.
490
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,280
No charge.
491
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,740
All right, then. All right, then. Okay.
Okay, up top. Good. Good stuff, guys.
492
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:47,799
Okay. Okay.
493
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:48,639
That's real.
494
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:48,900
I
495
00:27:48,900 --> 00:28:04,420
overheard
496
00:28:04,420 --> 00:28:05,900
that little scuffle earlier. You okay?
497
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:08,840
What? Phoebe and Isaac.
498
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:12,430
Yeah. Fine. I mean, you're always going
to get annoying customers like that.
499
00:28:13,090 --> 00:28:14,530
It's kind of a workplace hazard.
500
00:28:15,530 --> 00:28:16,970
Well, your dinks are looking better.
501
00:28:17,790 --> 00:28:18,850
We're going to pick up pace.
502
00:28:19,130 --> 00:28:19,929
You will.
503
00:28:19,930 --> 00:28:23,310
But for now, it's all about restraint
and... Vanessa.
504
00:28:24,290 --> 00:28:27,090
What happens when I'm against someone
who won't play the soft game, huh?
505
00:28:27,710 --> 00:28:29,150
I'm going to need some power, right?
506
00:28:29,450 --> 00:28:31,990
I can't just roll over every time
someone threatens me.
507
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:34,910
Yeah, you know, it doesn't always work
to go all Luke the Brute on everyone,
508
00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:39,100
okay? Some situations require more tact,
and yes, restraint.
509
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,180
You catch more flies with honey.
510
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,360
But if you want to win, you're going to
have to seem like a bee.
511
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,800
Barb,
512
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,540
what was that?
513
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,020
What? We were just trying to help.
514
00:29:06,060 --> 00:29:07,880
You spend too much time here.
515
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:12,320
When was the last time you went on a
date? All right, that is none of your
516
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,880
business. Besides, when would I date,
huh?
517
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,900
Besides, he is not my type.
518
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,080
What, famous?
519
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,560
Smoking hot?
520
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,080
All right, ladies.
521
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,480
Settle down there.
522
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,180
I think this might be your best short
story yet.
523
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,280
Really? Mm -hmm.
524
00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:46,000
Okay, well, it's just a first draft, so
it could definitely use a polish still.
525
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,420
No, the characters feel real. The
dialogue's funny.
526
00:29:48,980 --> 00:29:51,180
All the period details. Seriously, it's
great.
527
00:29:51,460 --> 00:29:54,420
I just have one quibble. Mm -hmm. The
ending.
528
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,420
Why doesn't she take the leap into the
city?
529
00:29:59,980 --> 00:30:01,860
I don't know, because it's the honest
ending.
530
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,920
Mm -hmm. I mean, it would have been
serious repercussions if she just up and
531
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,180
rode off into the sunset.
532
00:30:07,610 --> 00:30:08,469
All right.
533
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:10,870
It's the honest ending, not the happy
one. I get it.
534
00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:16,010
Hey, thank you for reading it. Mm -hmm.
I know things have been kind of crazy
535
00:30:16,010 --> 00:30:17,010
for you lately.
536
00:30:17,270 --> 00:30:18,270
Are you holding up?
537
00:30:18,770 --> 00:30:22,090
The days are definitely full.
538
00:30:23,310 --> 00:30:28,130
And now with Luke bringing in the
production team to run the broadcast,
539
00:30:28,130 --> 00:30:29,810
starting to feel even fuller.
540
00:30:30,270 --> 00:30:33,710
But we couldn't save the club without
it, so it's kind of a necessary evil.
541
00:30:34,030 --> 00:30:36,370
I'm sorry that my brother is a necessary
evil.
542
00:30:41,189 --> 00:30:43,650
No. His bark is worse than his bite.
543
00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:48,070
Seriously, you are doing so much.
544
00:30:48,670 --> 00:30:50,390
Is there any way that I can help at all?
545
00:30:50,730 --> 00:30:52,530
No, you're sweet, but I got it.
546
00:30:53,830 --> 00:30:56,230
Ooh, speaking of, I gotta go.
547
00:30:56,850 --> 00:30:57,850
Gotta get back.
548
00:30:57,910 --> 00:30:59,730
Are you sure that you don't want to put
Lou to work?
549
00:31:00,170 --> 00:31:03,570
Oh, trust me, it's easier if I just do
it. Okay.
550
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:06,660
I'm serious about that story, though.
551
00:31:07,180 --> 00:31:09,100
That character deserves a happy ending.
552
00:31:09,980 --> 00:31:14,020
Yeah, I think there's a way you can do
that and still make it feel honest.
553
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,640
Believe in you.
554
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,960
Bye. Bye.
555
00:31:50,969 --> 00:31:53,230
Okay. No training today.
556
00:31:54,350 --> 00:31:55,870
We're going on a field trip.
557
00:32:00,050 --> 00:32:01,050
Okay.
558
00:32:07,170 --> 00:32:08,170
Whoa.
559
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:11,410
Some serious fanatics.
560
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:13,370
All these people are here for
pickleball.
561
00:32:14,210 --> 00:32:15,850
Welcome to Garfield Park.
562
00:32:16,350 --> 00:32:19,770
Are you the mayor?
563
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,199
Well, yeah.
564
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,500
You have the club. I have the park.
565
00:32:26,740 --> 00:32:27,180
The
566
00:32:27,180 --> 00:32:34,200
whole
567
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,860
neighborhood's here, huh?
568
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:41,119
Uh -huh.
569
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,820
I mean, when's the last time you saw a
senior play a gym rack?
570
00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:46,620
I gotta admit, that's pretty cool.
571
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:49,020
This is actually where I first started
playing.
572
00:32:50,629 --> 00:32:53,790
There's a real community here. I think
that's what drew me to the sport, you
573
00:32:53,790 --> 00:32:56,570
know? Yeah, how did you find pickleball
in the first place?
574
00:32:57,630 --> 00:33:01,730
Well, I was a tennis player like you.
575
00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:07,670
Yeah, and I was pretty good, too. Got a
scholarship to play college at Cornell.
576
00:33:09,210 --> 00:33:10,390
Are you serious?
577
00:33:10,670 --> 00:33:11,850
Yeah, Jordan, yeah.
578
00:33:12,510 --> 00:33:15,790
She was a freshman when I was a
sophomore, and then we reconnected when
579
00:33:15,790 --> 00:33:16,790
back here.
580
00:33:17,550 --> 00:33:18,770
She's actually how I got this job.
581
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,160
Wow.
582
00:33:22,140 --> 00:33:23,560
Surrounded by Ivy Leaguers.
583
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:25,060
Well,
584
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,840
sort of.
585
00:33:29,060 --> 00:33:32,740
When I was a senior, my mom got sick.
586
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,240
ALS.
587
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:39,220
So I ended up transferring and moving
back home to be closer.
588
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:45,160
Caroline, I'm so sorry.
589
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:47,220
Anyway.
590
00:33:49,590 --> 00:33:51,030
ALS acts fast, you know.
591
00:33:52,590 --> 00:33:54,050
But before I knew it, she was gone.
592
00:33:56,630 --> 00:34:00,750
And those were some, yeah, some pretty
hard times.
593
00:34:02,390 --> 00:34:03,750
Like, I didn't pick up a racket.
594
00:34:04,110 --> 00:34:06,330
I hardly left the house.
595
00:34:08,929 --> 00:34:12,889
And then one day, I was on a mental
health walk, I don't know, maybe five
596
00:34:12,889 --> 00:34:17,210
ago, and I saw this place.
597
00:34:18,030 --> 00:34:23,710
I know pickleball is kind of silly, and
it's supposed to be for old people, and
598
00:34:23,710 --> 00:34:28,770
the sound of the ball has been annoying
neighbors across the country. But, I
599
00:34:28,770 --> 00:34:35,630
mean, it's given me friends, structure,
and community, and a
600
00:34:35,630 --> 00:34:36,630
reason to get out.
601
00:34:37,110 --> 00:34:38,110
Hey, people.
602
00:34:40,010 --> 00:34:46,270
It's been this one good thing during
some pretty tough times.
603
00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:49,940
I'm really glad you found it.
604
00:34:51,179 --> 00:34:53,300
Or it found you.
605
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:59,940
That is what has been so great about
working at the club. You know, I get to
606
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:01,620
share all this with more people.
607
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:07,280
Oh, duties of the mayor.
608
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,120
I gotta... Oh, yeah. Yeah.
609
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:26,189
What's up?
610
00:35:26,190 --> 00:35:29,070
There's a shipment at the front door and
they need you to sign for it. Ah, okay.
611
00:35:29,290 --> 00:35:30,290
You okay?
612
00:35:30,710 --> 00:35:34,070
Oh, me? Yeah, I know. I'm totally
thriving. I even got my Christmas
613
00:35:34,070 --> 00:35:36,850
up and... Huh.
614
00:35:37,690 --> 00:35:39,250
Hey, aren't you supposed to be teaching
right now?
615
00:35:40,090 --> 00:35:41,090
Ah.
616
00:35:41,970 --> 00:35:42,970
Ah.
617
00:35:44,770 --> 00:35:45,770
You can get the shipment.
618
00:35:48,590 --> 00:35:50,550
Hey, guys, I'm so sorry.
619
00:35:50,970 --> 00:35:52,030
Good stuff, guys.
620
00:35:52,290 --> 00:35:54,050
Nothing better than a nice third shot
drop.
621
00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:59,830
Hey, what do we say? What do we say? All
right, now is not the time to be a
622
00:35:59,830 --> 00:36:02,750
banger. This guy is about placement, not
power.
623
00:36:07,810 --> 00:36:08,810
Thank you.
624
00:36:11,590 --> 00:36:14,110
That's right. Swing through the ball.
Toes out of the kitchen there.
625
00:36:15,250 --> 00:36:16,250
Nice, nice.
626
00:36:19,090 --> 00:36:23,230
Hey, Toby Thicke here, two -time Grand
Slam champion and native Floridian.
627
00:36:23,580 --> 00:36:27,220
When I'm not cruising to victory on the
court, I'm cruising the I -75 in one of
628
00:36:27,220 --> 00:36:31,960
my finest luxury pre -owned vehicles,
and you can too. Come on down to Toby's
629
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,340
6th Luxury Pre -Owned.
630
00:36:36,740 --> 00:36:41,400
Ah, I see that you've beaten me to it.
Well, I figured you'd be hungry after
631
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,200
your power zone ride this morning.
632
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,120
It's been nice having an extra set of
hands around the club.
633
00:36:46,620 --> 00:36:49,840
And I'm getting reports that the members
feel the same way.
634
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,500
It's been a real trip being back as an
adult.
635
00:36:53,790 --> 00:36:58,210
I've really loved getting to know the
club, members, seeing how it all runs.
636
00:36:59,130 --> 00:37:03,070
As a kid, I don't think I appreciated
just how special it all was.
637
00:37:03,470 --> 00:37:07,070
And I think it's made me realize that
that's what meant so much to me, growing
638
00:37:07,070 --> 00:37:08,690
up there, the community.
639
00:37:10,470 --> 00:37:14,790
So, yeah, I don't know. Maybe if we do
save the club, it's not about the Luke
640
00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:19,910
Hollis Champion Center. It's about
something, I don't know, bigger.
641
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:24,540
Well, I really hope that's the case,
son, but I want what's best for you, not
642
00:37:24,540 --> 00:37:25,540
just the club.
643
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,600
I mean, the opportunity to teach will
always be there, but the opportunity to
644
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,020
play, to compete, that's a limited
window.
645
00:37:33,860 --> 00:37:39,320
Of course, but... I think you know, if
it wasn't for my knee, I would have
646
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,900
played until they dragged me off the
court.
647
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,560
I just, well, I think you're going to
miss it more than you know.
648
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:47,300
I know I do.
649
00:37:50,250 --> 00:37:51,830
I don't want you settling too early.
650
00:37:53,530 --> 00:37:54,630
I don't know, Dad.
651
00:37:55,530 --> 00:37:57,210
It doesn't feel like settling.
652
00:37:57,650 --> 00:37:58,650
I want it.
653
00:38:02,170 --> 00:38:03,170
Okay.
654
00:38:03,910 --> 00:38:06,130
Maybe just, I don't know, sleep on it.
655
00:38:07,710 --> 00:38:10,390
Oh, that's definitely cooked. Oops.
656
00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:14,030
Luke.
657
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,840
I'm not sure you know what you're
getting yourself into.
658
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,320
Hi, Amy.
659
00:38:21,580 --> 00:38:24,620
Just talked to Pick TV, and this thing
is gaining traction.
660
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,300
There's a lot of big players coming in
for that prize money. A lot of viewers
661
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:31,360
expected. They're sending in the
Whittiers to host.
662
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,160
That is big.
663
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:39,700
Okay. Yeah, so not only do you need to
win, you know, for the money, but if you
664
00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:44,700
lose, there is going to be a lot of
witnesses to the end of the short -lived
665
00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:46,420
Luke Hollis retires as a winner.
666
00:38:48,910 --> 00:38:50,490
to your legacy, poof, gone.
667
00:38:51,770 --> 00:38:54,390
Right. Well, then I guess I better win.
668
00:38:55,230 --> 00:38:56,410
Thanks for the update, Amy.
669
00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:57,930
Always love hearing from you.
670
00:38:58,270 --> 00:39:00,550
Yeah, anything for my favorite ex
-client.
671
00:39:01,290 --> 00:39:02,290
I gotta go.
672
00:39:02,710 --> 00:39:03,710
Dinner!
673
00:39:03,990 --> 00:39:04,990
Yeah.
674
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:19,060
No one's been practicing.
675
00:39:19,980 --> 00:39:22,740
Maybe we need a talk game. We need to
match up a talk game.
676
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,040
Oh, okay.
677
00:39:24,540 --> 00:39:25,540
Yes.
678
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,120
Lovely.
679
00:39:28,260 --> 00:39:29,260
Use us, guys.
680
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:30,500
You're going to need to leave.
681
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,280
I'm sorry, what's going on here?
682
00:39:32,580 --> 00:39:34,700
Oh, we're here for training. For the
tournament.
683
00:39:35,060 --> 00:39:36,060
The one we're going to win.
684
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:37,920
We booked the course.
685
00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:39,499
It's ours now.
686
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:42,000
Oh. Can you not just use that one over
there?
687
00:39:44,740 --> 00:39:45,740
That one's haunted.
688
00:39:46,410 --> 00:39:47,470
We lost one there.
689
00:39:49,290 --> 00:39:51,790
Uh, you know what? I must have forgotten
to book this one.
690
00:39:52,110 --> 00:39:53,049
My mistake.
691
00:39:53,050 --> 00:39:54,330
No. No, you didn't.
692
00:39:55,130 --> 00:39:56,710
I saw the court sheet. This one's ours.
693
00:39:57,210 --> 00:40:01,070
Don't give in to these clowns. Oh, uh...
Wow!
694
00:40:01,330 --> 00:40:06,630
Um, I pay my membership fees, and I am
not going to be bossed around by some
695
00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:09,610
who likes to play with her boyfriend all
day.
696
00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:11,790
It's very wrong.
697
00:40:13,450 --> 00:40:14,450
Well, I'll tell you what.
698
00:40:14,730 --> 00:40:15,770
Why don't we play for it?
699
00:40:16,730 --> 00:40:17,730
Winner gets to court.
700
00:40:19,550 --> 00:40:20,550
Bring it on.
701
00:40:24,730 --> 00:40:25,170
This
702
00:40:25,170 --> 00:40:32,770
is
703
00:40:32,770 --> 00:40:33,770
a bad idea.
704
00:40:34,290 --> 00:40:38,510
These two have been awful to me since
day one. This is going to be fun. Okay,
705
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:41,050
but remember, stop the game.
706
00:41:11,459 --> 00:41:15,420
0 -0 -2 Ouch! That was ouch! We can
drink all day, baby!
707
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,640
Yeah, we can!
708
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Let's go!
709
00:41:19,340 --> 00:41:20,340
Hey,
710
00:41:20,580 --> 00:41:24,720
uh, remember how we've been training
this whole time about not using all your
711
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:31,120
power? Yes, yes. Well, your soft game is
looking good, but so is theirs. So, do
712
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,140
you mind going full Luke the Brood on
these guys?
713
00:41:33,420 --> 00:41:34,940
Hello? Hi!
714
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:37,720
Can we hurry this up, please? Because
I've got Pilates.
715
00:41:38,980 --> 00:41:40,180
Yeah, I think I can do that.
716
00:42:06,020 --> 00:42:10,860
Get that game Hey
717
00:42:15,340 --> 00:42:17,200
Good game, you guys. Really, you played
well.
718
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:20,120
I'm teaching in the clinic next session
if you want to work on anything.
719
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,680
Thanks a lot, Mom.
720
00:42:25,340 --> 00:42:26,920
Now this court's haunted too.
721
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Nice one.
722
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:33,100
You too.
723
00:43:07,529 --> 00:43:12,530
You know, I'm your coach, right? We
should probably establish some
724
00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:16,650
Yeah, yeah. We wouldn't want things to
get unprofessional.
725
00:43:16,950 --> 00:43:18,770
You know, we should give it very...
Very.
726
00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:47,650
When you don't pick up my calls I could
really use a sign
727
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:20,740
hot chocolate on a perfectly warm day.
728
00:45:28,140 --> 00:45:29,140
So,
729
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,540
you take all your girlfriends here?
730
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:33,960
God, no.
731
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:38,540
I haven't had a girlfriend since Jess
Rose in high school, and that lasted
732
00:45:38,540 --> 00:45:39,540
two weeks.
733
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:40,840
Really?
734
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,160
So no tennis star?
735
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Bachelor lifestyle.
736
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,460
Oh, I could only dream that to be true.
737
00:45:50,260 --> 00:45:51,260
Seriously?
738
00:45:51,940 --> 00:45:53,580
And no girlfriends at all?
739
00:45:54,540 --> 00:45:59,000
Okay, I don't think I've had a
relationship last long enough to
740
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
something.
741
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:04,860
Whenever the first chance to exit off
the highway came along, I took it.
742
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,720
And I know that sounds bad.
743
00:46:10,260 --> 00:46:13,160
Look, when I played tennis, winning was
everything.
744
00:46:13,870 --> 00:46:15,650
If I wasn't competitive, I'd be out of a
job.
745
00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:19,790
And when it came to relationships, I
just had a hard time turning that off.
746
00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:25,470
Every fight, every disagreement, I just
had to win. And I don't think that made
747
00:46:25,470 --> 00:46:27,270
for long -term data material.
748
00:46:28,290 --> 00:46:29,390
No, I get that, though.
749
00:46:30,430 --> 00:46:31,950
I could be like that when I was
training.
750
00:46:33,110 --> 00:46:37,530
Although, sometimes I think I could have
used more of that competitive edge.
751
00:46:38,010 --> 00:46:40,930
Well, what about what happened to you
catching more flies with honey?
752
00:46:41,490 --> 00:46:43,130
Maybe that's the problem.
753
00:46:44,470 --> 00:46:45,470
Not a problem.
754
00:46:46,330 --> 00:46:47,330
Trust me.
755
00:46:51,150 --> 00:46:52,590
Yeah, well, you know my story.
756
00:46:53,130 --> 00:46:57,750
Everything with my mom and my dad
checking out, and I just never wanted to
757
00:46:57,750 --> 00:46:59,330
myself in a relationship like that.
758
00:47:00,310 --> 00:47:04,590
So it just became easier to lock it
down, you know?
759
00:47:05,690 --> 00:47:07,030
Well, of course you know.
760
00:47:07,250 --> 00:47:08,910
Mr. I -don't -play -double.
761
00:47:09,790 --> 00:47:11,850
I do, I do, but...
762
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:18,560
To be honest, I don't think I could have
gotten through these last two weeks
763
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:19,560
without him.
764
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,480
When did you become such a softie?
765
00:47:23,940 --> 00:47:25,480
What happened to Luke the brute?
766
00:47:27,700 --> 00:47:28,700
Right here.
767
00:47:30,020 --> 00:47:31,020
Yeah, terrifying.
768
00:47:46,850 --> 00:47:50,270
We've been trying to reach you about
your car's extended warranty.
769
00:47:52,250 --> 00:47:55,850
Wow. Does he have that same thing when
you two are dating? Yeah.
770
00:47:56,510 --> 00:47:58,230
Taxing. One, two, three.
771
00:47:58,610 --> 00:47:59,910
Taxing. Works great, honey.
772
00:48:00,310 --> 00:48:01,310
Okay, good, honey.
773
00:48:01,590 --> 00:48:04,150
Oh, make a handsome date to the gala
tonight.
774
00:48:04,790 --> 00:48:07,370
Oh, I didn't know tonight was the kind
of event where you bring a date.
775
00:48:07,890 --> 00:48:08,749
You can.
776
00:48:08,750 --> 00:48:09,750
You want to.
777
00:48:12,130 --> 00:48:13,130
How's your father?
778
00:48:13,170 --> 00:48:14,990
Is he going to make it down for
Christmas this year?
779
00:48:15,210 --> 00:48:20,470
Oh. Actually, turns out his new
girlfriend's family insists that he stay
780
00:48:20,470 --> 00:48:21,470
Hamptons for the holidays.
781
00:48:22,810 --> 00:48:26,570
So, looking like another solo Christmas
in the Leth household.
782
00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:27,950
I'm so sorry, honey.
783
00:48:29,510 --> 00:48:33,030
Hey, would an early Christmas gift get
you back in the holiday spirit?
784
00:48:34,010 --> 00:48:37,350
Check this out.
785
00:48:38,070 --> 00:48:41,950
I think you should wear this tonight. I
think it would look gorgeous on you, and
786
00:48:41,950 --> 00:48:44,650
if you like it, I want you to keep it.
787
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:46,980
That's beautiful, but I couldn't.
788
00:48:47,620 --> 00:48:52,400
Oh, come on, please. Anytime I've worn
this, Jordan insists, like, Mom, that's
789
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,820
not your color. You can't wear green.
790
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,840
Oh, don't you want to keep it in the
family?
791
00:48:56,780 --> 00:48:57,780
That's what I'm doing.
792
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:02,720
Thank you, Tom.
793
00:49:03,220 --> 00:49:04,220
All right.
794
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,440
I'm back.
795
00:49:06,900 --> 00:49:12,520
Gosh, you and Bert have just been so...
I don't know that I'm ever going to find
796
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:13,720
bosses like you guys again.
797
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,600
Well, if... If things go the right way,
you won't have to, right?
798
00:49:18,980 --> 00:49:21,940
Yeah. And then maybe some of that might
depend on Luke.
799
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:23,920
What might depend on Luke?
800
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,060
Just that quick,
801
00:49:28,580 --> 00:49:31,740
you know, the game. If he plays good,
where is he?
802
00:49:31,940 --> 00:49:33,760
I'm going to go find him. Okay.
803
00:49:33,980 --> 00:49:34,980
Yeah.
804
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:43,260
And that is enough.
805
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,060
Are you two dating or what?
806
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,560
Yeah.
807
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:50,340
Everyone's talking about it. And they're
asking us.
808
00:49:50,620 --> 00:49:54,960
And we don't have any good gossip. And
we're the ones who are supposed to have
809
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:55,960
the good gossip.
810
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,620
So, spill.
811
00:49:58,780 --> 00:49:59,860
What are you talking about?
812
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,560
Oh, please.
813
00:50:03,860 --> 00:50:07,060
You think the story's shed its
soundproof?
814
00:50:10,300 --> 00:50:11,440
Pretend all you want.
815
00:50:12,090 --> 00:50:13,950
We're on to you, Hollis.
816
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,480
What? Yes,
817
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:53,760
it is.
818
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:28,920
Hi.
819
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:41,460
Okay, so I missed my prom for Junior
Nationals, so I don't really know how.
820
00:51:42,030 --> 00:51:46,970
Just goes, but, um... Will you go to the
dance with me?
821
00:51:48,650 --> 00:51:49,870
The dance?
822
00:51:50,290 --> 00:51:54,970
And then the gala that we've been
working on the last few weeks and that
823
00:51:54,970 --> 00:51:57,330
in... three hours?
824
00:51:57,810 --> 00:51:59,630
Yeah. That dance.
825
00:52:00,550 --> 00:52:03,270
But not as my coach. Like, as my date.
826
00:52:03,590 --> 00:52:04,590
As my date.
827
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:15,320
I'd love to.
828
00:52:15,820 --> 00:52:16,820
Yeah? Mm -hmm.
829
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,480
Okay.
830
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,860
You look very pretty.
831
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,320
Hey. You almost ready? We're leaving in
ten. Yep. All right.
832
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,160
How do I look?
833
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:34,800
What?
834
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,380
Oh, nothing. I just have never seen you
this nervous before.
835
00:52:40,180 --> 00:52:41,600
You look nice.
836
00:52:42,339 --> 00:52:43,920
Or less repulsive than usual.
837
00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:46,240
And a compliment.
838
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,180
What has gotten into you?
839
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:49,440
I don't know.
840
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,720
I guess you catch more flies with honey.
841
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:53,480
You sound just like Caroline.
842
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,760
Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I was
going to tell you tonight at the gala. I
843
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:01,760
promise.
844
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:04,940
I mean, I guess it was obvious.
845
00:53:05,780 --> 00:53:08,760
I was just in denial. I hope that there
was some other reason that you two were
846
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,140
always... Out later.
847
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,700
Why she was always over here after work.
Literally any other reason.
848
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,900
We were hiding it. And you've been so
nice recently. I mean, obviously
849
00:53:17,900 --> 00:53:18,900
was going on.
850
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,160
Can you just promise me that you'll be
careful?
851
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,060
I mean, Caroline has put absolutely
everything into this club the last few
852
00:53:26,060 --> 00:53:30,480
years. And if you ruin this for her... I
know. I know. And you better win the
853
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,720
tournament. Okay? You owe her that.
Okay. I know.
854
00:53:33,460 --> 00:53:34,460
All right?
855
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:41,400
What about you?
856
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,380
I mean, I know why Caroline is putting
everything she has into the club, but is
857
00:53:46,380 --> 00:53:47,380
it really your thing?
858
00:53:49,420 --> 00:53:50,420
What do you mean?
859
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:51,680
Come on.
860
00:53:51,780 --> 00:53:52,780
You're writing.
861
00:53:53,140 --> 00:53:56,720
All your books, all the stories that you
got published in college. I thought
862
00:53:56,720 --> 00:53:59,840
you'd be in Los Angeles by now, like
your favorite author, Joni Mitchell.
863
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:01,880
Joan Didion?
864
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,160
Yeah. Yeah, her.
865
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,580
What are you doing back here in your
hometown, huh? Nobody reads here.
866
00:54:10,790 --> 00:54:17,130
Okay, well, clearly this isn't obvious
to you, but not everyone gets to follow
867
00:54:17,130 --> 00:54:18,130
their dreams.
868
00:54:18,930 --> 00:54:24,050
Especially if your last name is Hollis
and your dream doesn't involve tennis.
869
00:54:28,750 --> 00:54:29,990
I'm really sorry, Jordan.
870
00:54:32,370 --> 00:54:33,370
It's fine.
871
00:54:33,550 --> 00:54:34,570
It's not your fault.
872
00:54:34,950 --> 00:54:36,830
Yeah, but there must be something we can
do.
873
00:54:44,350 --> 00:54:48,790
Coming. Hey, did you, um... Did you
actually read those short stories that
874
00:54:48,790 --> 00:54:52,010
published? I don't know if I understood
them, but yeah, I read them.
875
00:55:07,820 --> 00:55:09,380
Ooh, someone brings up nice.
876
00:55:09,660 --> 00:55:12,180
He looks like Tom Selleck. No, no, no.
877
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,080
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No,
no, no.
878
00:55:14,900 --> 00:55:16,560
No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. No,
no, no. No, no, no. Luke, you ought to
879
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,420
try one of these. I created it.
880
00:55:18,780 --> 00:55:19,960
It's a Barberita.
881
00:55:20,420 --> 00:55:24,660
So delicious. What are you talking
about? I created it. It was named after
882
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,040
Okay. Where's your hot date?
883
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,660
Uh, not sure. She said she would meet
me... There.
884
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,440
By the tree.
885
00:55:51,770 --> 00:55:52,770
Yeah,
886
00:55:53,030 --> 00:55:54,830
cool. I'll just mingle with the old
people.
887
00:55:55,870 --> 00:55:57,890
Oh, hi, honey. Hi, darling.
888
00:55:58,130 --> 00:56:01,230
We heard that. You look incredible.
889
00:56:02,250 --> 00:56:03,910
You're looking pretty handsome yourself.
890
00:56:05,390 --> 00:56:07,090
I got you something.
891
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:09,880
That's too much.
892
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,560
Thank you. Should I open it now?
893
00:56:13,060 --> 00:56:15,000
Let's save it for the right moment.
894
00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:16,178
Good call.
895
00:56:16,180 --> 00:56:19,140
Yeah. It's not closed yet. It's too
early to be opening presents, huh?
896
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,400
Do you want to dance?
897
00:56:26,740 --> 00:56:27,740
Yeah.
898
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,280
Oh, I told you he'd do it. Oh, finally.
899
00:56:40,980 --> 00:56:41,980
Good for them.
900
00:56:42,660 --> 00:56:46,340
So, you missed your prom for a tennis
tournament, huh?
901
00:56:48,220 --> 00:56:51,980
Does that mean that you never got to
slow dance with someone special?
902
00:56:54,140 --> 00:56:55,140
Never.
903
00:56:55,420 --> 00:56:56,420
Did you?
904
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:57,800
Oh, yeah.
905
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,160
Yeah, I slow danced.
906
00:57:00,380 --> 00:57:01,620
Just not with someone special.
907
00:57:03,060 --> 00:57:04,960
So I guess that's a first for both of
us.
908
00:57:10,540 --> 00:57:12,160
Have Christmas Eve dinner with us.
909
00:57:13,180 --> 00:57:15,680
My mom cooks a huge feast.
910
00:57:16,380 --> 00:57:17,420
We'd love to have you.
911
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:19,400
Really?
912
00:57:20,460 --> 00:57:23,360
Yeah, that sounds wonderful.
913
00:57:24,180 --> 00:57:27,580
Is this on? Can you guys hear me?
914
00:57:28,580 --> 00:57:29,580
Hi,
915
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:35,720
everyone. Donna and I would like to
thank each and every one of you who came
916
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,880
here tonight. Your support and patronage
has meant the world to us.
917
00:57:40,140 --> 00:57:44,340
When we started the Sandy Lake Racquet
Club, we could never imagine it would
918
00:57:44,340 --> 00:57:47,420
bring us the joy it has over the years.
919
00:57:48,180 --> 00:57:52,320
I would like to especially thank my
daughter, Jordan, for all the time and
920
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,340
effort she sacrificed being here.
921
00:57:55,860 --> 00:57:59,660
You mean so much to this family, more
than you'll ever know.
922
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,400
Hey, I would like to also say thank you
to Caroline Lett.
923
00:58:04,700 --> 00:58:08,920
The work establishing the Pickleball
program has been a wonder.
924
00:58:09,740 --> 00:58:10,740
So thank you.
925
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:12,940
Thank you, Caroline.
926
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:18,540
And of course, this Christmas, we also
have someone else special to thank, my
927
00:58:18,540 --> 00:58:19,540
son, Luke.
928
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,560
The lights are still on.
929
00:58:25,860 --> 00:58:32,680
This time next week, we would like you
and your vision to be in charge
930
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:33,960
of Sandy Lake.
931
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:37,780
I would like to make a toast.
932
00:58:38,860 --> 00:58:44,940
To Luke and the new future of Sandy Lake
Racket Club.
933
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:53,340
Congrats, Hal.
934
00:58:53,580 --> 00:58:55,960
You absolutely deserve this.
935
00:58:56,460 --> 00:58:57,620
Not really yet.
936
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:58,880
Oh, it will be.
937
00:59:01,380 --> 00:59:05,300
I mean, if I take your partner, just...
He's got some hands to shake.
938
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:06,598
No, please.
939
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:07,600
Thank you, Caroline.
940
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:08,800
I'll be right back.
941
00:59:08,810 --> 00:59:09,810
Yeah. All right.
942
00:59:10,990 --> 00:59:12,430
Thank you.
943
00:59:12,690 --> 00:59:13,690
Yes.
944
00:59:16,330 --> 00:59:17,330
There he is.
945
00:59:17,690 --> 00:59:18,930
Luke, my man.
946
00:59:19,550 --> 00:59:20,850
Me and this guy go way back.
947
00:59:21,150 --> 00:59:22,270
Junior circuit days, right?
948
00:59:23,130 --> 00:59:24,130
Keith Hoffman.
949
00:59:24,450 --> 00:59:27,770
Glad you made it. I still want to talk
to you about the investment opportunity.
950
00:59:28,170 --> 00:59:29,910
I've got some exciting updates for you.
951
00:59:30,110 --> 00:59:31,110
Are you sure?
952
00:59:31,270 --> 00:59:32,430
We've been hearing rumors.
953
00:59:33,070 --> 00:59:34,029
What rumors?
954
00:59:34,030 --> 00:59:37,470
About the future of this club. About
tennis and that...
955
00:59:37,790 --> 00:59:38,790
Other sport?
956
00:59:38,870 --> 00:59:42,110
I can neither confirm nor deny, but I
can say this.
957
00:59:43,470 --> 00:59:45,390
Tennis is here to stay at Sandy Lake.
958
00:59:46,130 --> 00:59:52,410
I knew it. He is a devious one.
959
00:59:52,630 --> 00:59:56,190
So get this. Luke calls me up and says,
hey, I got this investment opportunity.
960
00:59:56,590 --> 00:59:59,770
He's got big plans to turn this entire
place into a tennis academy.
961
01:00:00,230 --> 01:00:02,750
Every court dedicated to serious players
only.
962
01:00:03,050 --> 01:00:04,050
You know what that means?
963
01:00:04,410 --> 01:00:06,150
It's Luke the Brute is in charge.
964
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Pickleball's gone for good.
965
01:00:08,780 --> 01:00:10,360
You know what? Good riddance.
966
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,080
You guys want to get a drink?
967
01:00:16,380 --> 01:00:21,280
Thank you so much for coming. Have a
great night.
968
01:00:25,260 --> 01:00:27,480
Hi, folks. Thank you for coming. Merry
Christmas.
969
01:00:28,300 --> 01:00:29,640
Have you seen Caroline?
970
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,700
Uh, yeah. She left a while ago.
971
01:00:33,020 --> 01:00:34,920
Oh. What did you do?
972
01:01:07,879 --> 01:01:09,980
You know, it's like a spatula, but it's
a spoon.
973
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,200
You know, so they're going to be like,
yeah, yeah.
974
01:01:13,540 --> 01:01:16,340
So if we put it... Okay.
975
01:01:18,460 --> 01:01:19,460
Hey. Hey.
976
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,600
Caroline wanted me to let you know that
she's super swamped today, and at your
977
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,480
regular court it's going to be closed so
that these guys can get set up for
978
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,920
tomorrow. But, tennis court one is open
if you want to get some swings in.
979
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,760
Okay. Did she say anything about why she
left the gala like that?
980
01:01:33,060 --> 01:01:34,100
You know, she didn't.
981
01:01:34,380 --> 01:01:35,720
I couldn't get much out of her, though.
982
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:37,360
I think it's just crunch time, you know?
983
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:39,000
Oh, does she need any help?
984
01:01:39,300 --> 01:01:40,300
No, I got her.
985
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,120
You go practice. I'll see you later.
Yeah, see you.
986
01:01:42,380 --> 01:01:43,380
Bye.
987
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,420
She knows what to do.
988
01:02:52,970 --> 01:02:54,010
putting in those edits you suggested.
989
01:02:54,810 --> 01:02:58,410
Yeah, don't bother. You were right the
first time. Sometimes the honest ending
990
01:02:58,410 --> 01:02:59,430
is not the happy ending.
991
01:03:01,430 --> 01:03:03,190
Merry Christmas Eve to you too.
992
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,400
You got it. Coming in hot.
993
01:03:21,620 --> 01:03:22,620
Coming in hot.
994
01:03:22,940 --> 01:03:23,940
Okay,
995
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,780
there we go.
996
01:03:26,060 --> 01:03:27,060
Thank you.
997
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,860
That's beautiful, honey. Thank you.
998
01:03:34,820 --> 01:03:39,080
So this is enough fuel for tomorrow,
right?
999
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:43,000
Oh, absolutely. More than enough. It
looks delicious, Mom. Oh, thank you.
1000
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,640
honey, Dad made the potatoes.
1001
01:03:45,130 --> 01:03:46,670
I gotta give it some credit. Where's the
credit, Stu?
1002
01:03:47,030 --> 01:03:49,330
Too much garlic, though? No. Why don't
you leave them?
1003
01:03:49,710 --> 01:03:50,710
There's something I want to say.
1004
01:03:51,710 --> 01:03:55,230
Oh, Luke, if it's about the magazines in
your closet, we already found them.
1005
01:03:55,530 --> 01:03:56,530
No,
1006
01:03:56,590 --> 01:03:57,590
I'm serious.
1007
01:03:59,750 --> 01:04:04,310
This Christmas with you guys has been
the best one that I can remember in a
1008
01:04:04,310 --> 01:04:05,310
really long time.
1009
01:04:05,690 --> 01:04:08,410
I'm so sorry that I've been gone the
last few years.
1010
01:04:09,490 --> 01:04:13,690
I used to think that it was all about
winning, that to go fast, you had to go
1011
01:04:13,690 --> 01:04:14,690
alone.
1012
01:04:14,750 --> 01:04:19,890
And I just, I miss so many Christmases
and birthdays and family vacations
1013
01:04:19,890 --> 01:04:24,710
because I just, I wanted to stay sharp
and keep training, win.
1014
01:04:26,310 --> 01:04:33,170
And I think that I didn't realize it
until this last match, got the win that
1015
01:04:33,170 --> 01:04:35,270
wanted most. But yeah,
1016
01:04:36,390 --> 01:04:37,890
it's pretty lonely out there on that
podium.
1017
01:04:39,830 --> 01:04:42,650
And I'm sorry that it took me so long to
understand that.
1018
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,960
Jordan, I'm sorry that so much has
fallen on your shoulders since I've been
1019
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:50,960
gone.
1020
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:56,020
It's not fair that I got to go out and
pursue my dreams while you have been the
1021
01:04:56,020 --> 01:05:00,660
responsible sibling. I am the older
brother, and I just need to start acting
1022
01:05:00,660 --> 01:05:05,800
like it. So I have a friend with a guest
house in Silver Lake. She owes me a
1023
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:06,800
favor.
1024
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:08,080
There's the contact.
1025
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:11,860
You know, for that big move to
California.
1026
01:05:15,850 --> 01:05:16,970
Wow. Thank you.
1027
01:05:17,330 --> 01:05:18,330
Yeah.
1028
01:05:19,710 --> 01:05:24,170
Mom, Dad, I don't take your decision to
leave things to me lightly, okay?
1029
01:05:25,170 --> 01:05:30,690
No matter what happens tomorrow, I want
to stay committed to the legacy and the
1030
01:05:30,690 --> 01:05:32,710
community that you guys have built.
1031
01:05:33,570 --> 01:05:38,790
And if I can't do that at Sandy Lake,
I'll find somewhere else to do it.
1032
01:05:39,810 --> 01:05:40,870
Thank you.
1033
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:49,440

01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,960
You're going to hear us. Keep your voice
down. Come on now.
1037
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:43,118
I'm sorry.
1038
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:44,120
I thought it was over.
1039
01:06:44,180 --> 01:06:46,120
I didn't realize they were closing. Hey,
you guys. Yeah?
1040
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,240
We're closed for Christmas Eve.
1041
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:50,360
What are you doing here?
1042
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:54,580
Oh, oh, oh, yeah. We're just checking
out the court. Yeah.
1043
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,240
I thought I'd come see the place where
I'm going to crush my heels.
1044
01:06:59,580 --> 01:07:00,780
Luke Hollis, thank you.
1045
01:07:01,340 --> 01:07:02,980
I'm sorry. And you are?
1046
01:07:03,700 --> 01:07:04,700
Hmm?
1047
01:07:05,020 --> 01:07:06,680
Oh, I thought you recognized me. Toby
Thicke.
1048
01:07:07,260 --> 01:07:08,260
Toby, no?
1049
01:07:08,330 --> 01:07:09,330
That doesn't matter.
1050
01:07:09,450 --> 01:07:14,630
Former big -time tennis pro. Currently,
I sell pre -owned luxury vehicles, which
1051
01:07:14,630 --> 01:07:15,288
is fantastic.
1052
01:07:15,290 --> 01:07:18,450
Tomorrow, I will be Luke Hollis' worst
nightmare.
1053
01:07:20,590 --> 01:07:21,590
Take care.
1054
01:07:34,350 --> 01:07:38,410
Bells are ringing and pickleballs are
digging. So you know what that means.
1055
01:07:38,410 --> 01:07:43,330
the first ever Christmas Day pickleball
tournament hosted here just south of
1056
01:07:43,330 --> 01:07:47,670
Miami at the Sandy Lake Racquet Club in
the little hamlet of Pinecrest, Florida.
1057
01:07:48,270 --> 01:07:53,250
From Pick TV, I'm Tom Whittier. And I'm
Susan Whittier. And we are here for what
1058
01:07:53,250 --> 01:07:55,730
should be an electric day of pickleball
competition.
1059
01:07:56,210 --> 01:08:00,350
Pickleballers from all across the
country have convened for what I'm told
1060
01:08:00,350 --> 01:08:05,150
biggest pickleball tournament Florida
has ever seen, thanks to one specific
1061
01:08:05,150 --> 01:08:08,990
player, Luke Hollis. And we've got him
right here.
1062
01:08:09,830 --> 01:08:13,550
Luke, you are hot off the biggest win of
your tennis career, announcing your
1063
01:08:13,550 --> 01:08:17,340
retirement. What brings you back to the
court so quickly? And for a sport you've
1064
01:08:17,340 --> 01:08:19,680
never played, I mean, is it that easy?
1065
01:08:20,100 --> 01:08:21,960
I promise it's not as easy as it looks.
1066
01:08:23,260 --> 01:08:27,420
And I'm playing on behalf of this very
special place right here, Sandy Lake
1067
01:08:27,420 --> 01:08:28,420
Racquet Club.
1068
01:08:29,399 --> 01:08:33,580
There's also a lot of pickleballers here
eager to take on a big -time tennis
1069
01:08:33,580 --> 01:08:35,240
player at their own game.
1070
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:37,640
Do they have a chance to win today?
1071
01:08:38,620 --> 01:08:43,460
Well, I have a great coach, Caroline
Letts. And she's also done a fantastic
1072
01:08:43,460 --> 01:08:46,840
of getting this whole tournament on its
feet. So, yeah, I think my opponents
1073
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:48,220
will have a harder time with her than me
today.
1074
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,640
Oh. Well, good luck out there, Luke. We
hope you prove them all wrong.
1075
01:08:51,899 --> 01:08:52,738
Thanks, guys.
1076
01:08:52,740 --> 01:08:54,300
From PIC TV, I'm Tom Whittier.
1077
01:08:54,540 --> 01:08:58,180
And I'm Susan Whittier. And we'll see
you on the court.
1078
01:09:09,470 --> 01:09:10,470
Hey, there you are.
1079
01:09:10,590 --> 01:09:12,890
Where have you been? I sent you, like,
80 texts.
1080
01:09:13,229 --> 01:09:17,029
Um, yeah, you know, I just been thinking
about how stressful it would be to run
1081
01:09:17,029 --> 01:09:19,290
the tournament and play in the
tournament. Oh, yeah, I bet.
1082
01:09:19,510 --> 01:09:21,189
How can I help? Oh, I got it.
1083
01:09:21,490 --> 01:09:26,550
Yeah. Oh, wait, um, I know we haven't
talked much since, but, um, you left us
1084
01:09:26,550 --> 01:09:29,029
the gala, and I think you might really
be interested. You know what? I gotta
1085
01:09:29,029 --> 01:09:32,270
help check in. Let's, uh, why don't you
go warm up, and I'll see you on the
1086
01:09:32,270 --> 01:09:33,270
court, okay?
1087
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:48,899
Oh, there it is.
1088
01:09:49,500 --> 01:09:52,040
Yeah. You guys, you're so great.
1089
01:09:52,260 --> 01:09:55,360
Yeah. Could have used this for Rome,
Daryl. Hey, we tried, but the French
1090
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,000
weren't having it. How are you feeling,
champ?
1091
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,800
Out of all my matches, I don't think
I've ever been this nervous.
1092
01:10:01,060 --> 01:10:02,420
Oh, I'm sure you'll be fine.
1093
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:07,020
Mom, if we don't win all of this, all
those years of work that you and Dad put
1094
01:10:07,020 --> 01:10:10,140
into this place, all our future plans,
it's all gone.
1095
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:13,240
Oh, you put it that way. We'll be proud
of you no matter what.
1096
01:10:13,630 --> 01:10:16,410
Bring it in. Come on. All this hug time.
Here we go.
1097
01:10:16,730 --> 01:10:17,730
Good,
1098
01:10:18,090 --> 01:10:19,830
good, good, good, good, good. Okay.
1099
01:10:21,210 --> 01:10:25,470
Go in, because Dad's love may be
unconditional, but mine isn't.
1100
01:10:27,150 --> 01:10:28,390
All right. Goodbye.
1101
01:10:28,890 --> 01:10:29,769
Let's go, son.
1102
01:10:29,770 --> 01:10:30,770
Go get him!
1103
01:10:30,870 --> 01:10:31,870
All right, here we go.
1104
01:10:48,050 --> 01:10:49,050
Got it.
1105
01:10:49,770 --> 01:10:51,010
Oh, yes!
1106
01:10:51,790 --> 01:10:55,430
Oh, I can't believe my eyes. If it isn't
Luke, the brute coming to play. Took a
1107
01:10:55,430 --> 01:10:57,190
ball with the rest of the weekend
warriors.
1108
01:10:57,690 --> 01:11:01,070
Wow. If it isn't my nemesis, Toby
Thicke. Yeah.
1109
01:11:03,250 --> 01:11:06,430
Good to know you still smell weird. I
don't smell weird. I smell like
1110
01:11:06,430 --> 01:11:10,110
and bobcat musk, actually. So just drop
that, Hollis, because it's pouring now.
1111
01:11:10,290 --> 01:11:11,290
You'll get it. Okay?
1112
01:11:13,340 --> 01:11:14,860
Oh, yeah, see, you noticed my paddle.
1113
01:11:15,100 --> 01:11:16,880
I'm starting my own pickleball brand.
1114
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:18,340
I'm going to have T -shirts, too.
1115
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:19,840
Big deal.
1116
01:11:20,140 --> 01:11:22,680
Those are going to smell weird, too?
Yeah, they don't smell weird, though.
1117
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:23,680
don't. They smell amazing.
1118
01:11:23,820 --> 01:11:27,180
I don't know. What is the smell weird
thing? They don't. Yeah, yeah.
1119
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,980
Anyway, if pickleball is going to take
over the market, we're going to need a
1120
01:11:30,980 --> 01:11:32,260
little startup money to get it going.
1121
01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:36,240
You don't happen to know where we could
win some today, do you?
1122
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:39,560
We're going to play in this?
1123
01:11:39,660 --> 01:11:42,040
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, we are. We
are.
1124
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,540
Yeah, my cousin signed us up under her
name, Tinley Grace.
1125
01:11:46,380 --> 01:11:47,380
Say hi, Tinley.
1126
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:49,640
Sorry.
1127
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,980
Tinley's a three -time pickleball
champion on the Southern Florida Country
1128
01:11:52,980 --> 01:11:56,060
circuit, so you'll find she's not as
friendly on the court as she is now.
1129
01:11:56,780 --> 01:11:57,980
It's just kind of her thing.
1130
01:11:58,280 --> 01:11:59,820
But anyway, you should go.
1131
01:12:00,420 --> 01:12:02,000
There are a lot of games to win today.
1132
01:12:02,580 --> 01:12:06,760
Yeah. Oh, and remember, you never beat
me at tennis, and you're not going to
1133
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:07,760
beat me here.
1134
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:09,840
And I don't smell.
1135
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:16,560
See you, buddy.
1136
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:22,480
The games
1137
01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:27,420
are almost underway.
1138
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:32,580
But before we begin, we've gotten word
that Luke Hollis is not the only former
1139
01:12:32,580 --> 01:12:34,800
professional tennis player to enter the
tournament.
1140
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:40,100
That's right. It appears that Tobias
Thicke, Hollis' longtime tennis rival,
1141
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:43,580
now also entered the tournament
alongside his cousin.
1142
01:12:43,980 --> 01:12:45,640
The young phenom, Henley Grace.
1143
01:12:45,900 --> 01:12:48,160
Now that should offer some serious
competition.
1144
01:12:48,460 --> 01:12:52,280
If those two make it into the finals
against Hollis and Letts, that will be a
1145
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:57,280
real clash of the titans. Oh, and I've
just gotten word that tournament is
1146
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:57,938
to begin.
1147
01:12:57,940 --> 01:13:00,200
Good luck to all the pickleballers.
1148
01:13:01,260 --> 01:13:02,260
Paddles up!
1149
01:13:07,940 --> 01:13:11,300
Hey, you good? You, uh, didn't get a
warm -up in?
1150
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,040
Yeah, I'm totally fine.
1151
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:14,720
You ready?
1152
01:13:17,180 --> 01:13:18,180
Yep.
1153
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,140
Yep. Come on. Whoa.
1154
01:13:21,980 --> 01:13:23,720
Yeah. That was fast.
1155
01:13:24,820 --> 01:13:26,100
You really haven't beaten him?
1156
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:28,280
Nope.
1157
01:13:29,260 --> 01:13:31,180
Well, here we go.
1158
01:13:31,540 --> 01:13:32,620
Yeah, here we go.
1159
01:13:37,740 --> 01:13:38,740
Zero, zero, two.
1160
01:13:46,110 --> 01:13:47,230
It's all right. You got this.
1161
01:13:54,930 --> 01:13:58,690
Okay, I don't know what's going on or if
you're mad at me, but we've trained
1162
01:13:58,690 --> 01:14:01,710
really, really hard for this. You really
want to lose in the first round?
1163
01:14:02,910 --> 01:14:03,910
You're right.
1164
01:14:04,990 --> 01:14:05,990
Let's rock it.
1165
01:14:22,440 --> 01:14:26,040
Got to get down, livin' it up. Never
touch ground, never enough.
1166
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:30,040
Got to get down, livin' it up. Never
touch ground, never enough.
1167
01:14:30,300 --> 01:14:31,300
Get me feelin' good.
1168
01:14:31,420 --> 01:14:34,940
Get me feelin' good.
1169
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,080
Everything's, everything's alright,
alright.
1170
01:14:40,440 --> 01:14:44,000
Stayin' up all night, all night. All my
troubles say goodbye, goodbye.
1171
01:15:06,830 --> 01:15:08,610
Hollis and Leth took the match.
1172
01:15:08,910 --> 01:15:14,510
Moving on to the next round with an air
of fervor in their feet and the Texans
1173
01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:17,010
surrendering. That was close.
1174
01:15:17,410 --> 01:15:19,310
We pulled it out. Great game.
1175
01:15:19,870 --> 01:15:24,250
Hey, hey, hey. Can we just talk real
quick? I would love to just clear the
1176
01:15:24,250 --> 01:15:25,250
Let's just focus on the tournament.
1177
01:15:25,290 --> 01:15:26,930
One game at a time.
1178
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:36,380
It's been a great day of pickleball
already, and the competition is heating
1179
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,200
Hollis and Licks have had a rucker go at
it than expected. It's been a fight all
1180
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,000
day, no easy win here.
1181
01:15:45,620 --> 01:15:49,000
Meanwhile, the Picks on the other side
of the bracket are just wowing through
1182
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,000
the competition.
1183
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:03,920
I am, too, if I'm being honest.
1184
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:05,880
Ever and ever.
1185
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,960
And that does it.
1186
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:19,400
Will Thomas and Caroline Lett will go on
to face their big cousin right here on
1187
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:20,318
Center Court.
1188
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:21,320
Thank you.
1189
01:16:21,440 --> 01:16:23,060
That was insane.
1190
01:16:23,420 --> 01:16:24,940
An earned body bag?
1191
01:16:25,180 --> 01:16:26,460
Where'd you learn that?
1192
01:16:26,700 --> 01:16:27,980
I saw it on YouTube once.
1193
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,360
Oh, I'm going to be out of a job soon.
1194
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,160
Hey, um...
1195
01:16:33,770 --> 01:16:39,510
Look, whatever happens in this next
match, I want to thank you for taking
1196
01:16:39,510 --> 01:16:40,630
time to play in this tournament.
1197
01:16:40,890 --> 01:16:44,590
We would not have all this if it weren't
for you. I couldn't do this without
1198
01:16:44,590 --> 01:16:45,870
you. Okay?
1199
01:16:46,190 --> 01:16:49,330
Or your coaching. I have never hit so
many dinks in my life.
1200
01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:53,790
Ladies and gentlemen, find your places.
1201
01:16:54,130 --> 01:16:56,470
The championship match is about to
start.
1202
01:16:57,130 --> 01:16:58,130
One more match.
1203
01:16:58,330 --> 01:17:00,230
One more. Then we get to keep the club.
1204
01:17:00,550 --> 01:17:02,650
Oh, I can't wait to crush.
1205
01:17:04,300 --> 01:17:05,300
We beat them here.
1206
01:17:05,660 --> 01:17:06,720
That's what they're going to remember.
1207
01:17:07,940 --> 01:17:09,220
Yeah? All right.
1208
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,720
Let's go.
1209
01:17:42,890 --> 01:17:47,350
here at the inaugural Dig the Hole Sandy
Lake Racquet Club Christmas Day
1210
01:17:47,350 --> 01:17:48,650
Pickleball Tournament.
1211
01:17:48,850 --> 01:17:52,870
That is a mouthful, isn't it? Oh, it
sure is. The gold medal match will be a
1212
01:17:52,870 --> 01:17:57,850
single game, win by two, winner take
all. And we've had a huge influx of
1213
01:17:57,850 --> 01:17:58,850
tuning in to watch.
1214
01:17:58,950 --> 01:18:04,450
So the pressure is on for Luke Hollis.
Does he have what it takes to win in
1215
01:18:04,450 --> 01:18:05,450
new sport?
1216
01:18:05,490 --> 01:18:06,530
Well, let's find out.
1217
01:18:08,950 --> 01:18:09,950
Pick and serve.
1218
01:18:10,070 --> 01:18:11,070
Here we go.
1219
01:18:20,780 --> 01:18:23,200
Letts. You don't see that every day. No,
you don't.
1220
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:24,520
Oops.
1221
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:25,880
Yes!
1222
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,220
This is easy.
1223
01:18:30,540 --> 01:18:34,820
A couple of points into the match, and
things are not looking great for Hollis
1224
01:18:34,820 --> 01:18:38,940
and Letts. They're already down 4 -2,
and something feels off.
1225
01:18:39,180 --> 01:18:41,480
These two are not clicking.
1226
01:18:43,860 --> 01:18:50,630
The current score from the Whittiers, 7
-2. Oh, no! Oh, huge misstep from
1227
01:18:50,630 --> 01:18:53,010
Caroline Letts. That's what I'm talking
about!
1228
01:18:53,690 --> 01:18:55,610
That's what I'm talking about! My court!
1229
01:18:56,090 --> 01:18:57,090
My court!
1230
01:18:57,290 --> 01:19:00,030
Certified pre -owned, zero down.
Seriously, guys, I'll get you into
1231
01:19:00,030 --> 01:19:03,710
nice. And that brings the current score
to 8 -2 for Thick and Grace. Hard to see
1232
01:19:03,710 --> 01:19:06,670
a way back for Hollis and Letts at this
rate. This could be the point of no
1233
01:19:06,670 --> 01:19:07,990
return for these two. Okay, timeout.
1234
01:19:08,210 --> 01:19:09,990
Timeout. What are you doing?
1235
01:19:10,750 --> 01:19:13,910
Come on. Hey, wait. We've got a game to
play here. We need to talk.
1236
01:19:14,170 --> 01:19:17,750
In private. And Hollis calling a clutch
timeout. Oh.
1237
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:19,320
Can they bring it back?
1238
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,220
The question is, can they?
1239
01:19:26,540 --> 01:19:27,540
Okay.
1240
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:29,560
What the hell is going on out there?
1241
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,880
We are so close. Are you trying to make
me look stupid in front of the entire
1242
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:37,600
country? Well, a team is only as strong
as its weakest player, so maybe you just
1243
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,940
don't have what it takes to step up and
play for anybody but yourself.
1244
01:19:41,700 --> 01:19:43,160
This is why I don't play doubles.
1245
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:44,520
This is why.
1246
01:19:44,860 --> 01:19:45,860
It must be.
1247
01:19:46,350 --> 01:19:51,030
So nice to be Luke Hollis, huh? All the
fame and attention and the freedom to do
1248
01:19:51,030 --> 01:19:53,610
whatever you want no matter the
consequences for anybody else.
1249
01:19:54,190 --> 01:19:58,370
Do you know what I have sacrificed to
make this work?
1250
01:19:58,910 --> 01:20:02,810
What I have done to save your club? And
what do I get in return?
1251
01:20:03,110 --> 01:20:09,130
You take everything I've built and you
just out the window and without a shred
1252
01:20:09,130 --> 01:20:10,430
of consideration.
1253
01:20:10,850 --> 01:20:14,410
Yes. You make a great partner, Luke.
1254
01:20:15,180 --> 01:20:19,160
What are you talking about? We are in
this together. Yeah, yeah, until
1255
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:23,000
when all this becomes an elite winners
only keep the low lives out of tennis
1256
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,420
clubs and me and my community around the
streets.
1257
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:32,920
Look, it's your right to do whatever you
want to do with this place, okay? Fine.
1258
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,680
I just wish you hadn't given me hope.
1259
01:20:37,620 --> 01:20:39,000
What are you talking about?
1260
01:20:39,740 --> 01:20:42,320
I explained everything in your Christmas
present.
1261
01:20:43,850 --> 01:20:44,850
Wait, what?
1262
01:20:45,950 --> 01:20:46,950
Oh.
1263
01:20:48,190 --> 01:20:51,550
The Christmas present. In the Christmas
present.
1264
01:20:51,830 --> 01:20:55,390
I explained everything in the Christmas
present.
1265
01:20:56,750 --> 01:20:57,910
Open it. Here.
1266
01:20:58,370 --> 01:21:01,530
You think you can just solve everything
with a Christmas gift?
1267
01:21:01,750 --> 01:21:03,330
Oh, my God. Please, Caroline, just open
it.
1268
01:21:14,190 --> 01:21:15,950
I've already submitted the plans to the
city.
1269
01:21:16,750 --> 01:21:18,850
I'm making more pickleball courts.
1270
01:21:19,150 --> 01:21:22,670
The club is going to be half pickleball
and half tennis, and I would love it if
1271
01:21:22,670 --> 01:21:24,630
we could both run them together.
1272
01:21:25,250 --> 01:21:26,250
Let's go on.
1273
01:21:28,250 --> 01:21:29,990
If that's okay with you.
1274
01:21:30,630 --> 01:21:35,970
Well, that would have been really nice
to know a lot earlier than now, you
1275
01:21:35,970 --> 01:21:39,450
idiot! Well, I gave you the present two
nights ago, and you just left it at the
1276
01:21:39,450 --> 01:21:43,550
party! Oh, everything from today makes
so much sense. Now, you are so...
1277
01:21:43,950 --> 01:21:44,950
Mad at me, weren't you?
1278
01:21:45,290 --> 01:21:46,290
I really was.
1279
01:21:47,130 --> 01:21:48,270
Oh, my God, the tournament.
1280
01:21:49,410 --> 01:21:51,390
We are losing so bad.
1281
01:21:52,690 --> 01:21:53,790
We have to win.
1282
01:21:54,890 --> 01:21:56,050
Then we have some work to do.
1283
01:21:59,250 --> 01:22:02,050
What is that? Is that a matching shirt?
You got us matching shirts?
1284
01:22:02,590 --> 01:22:03,910
Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry.
1285
01:22:05,010 --> 01:22:06,010
And they're back.
1286
01:22:06,570 --> 01:22:10,510
Hollis and Letts coming back onto the
court wearing matching shirts.
1287
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:13,760
And holding hands. Holding hands.
1288
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:17,520
Which begs the question, are they
courting?
1289
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:19,580
Are they pickleball courting?
1290
01:22:20,780 --> 01:22:22,320
You get all this money for us.
1291
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:23,840
Let's see where it counts.
1292
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,240
Hollis and Lentz facing an 8 -2 deficit.
1293
01:22:27,500 --> 01:22:29,120
They have their work cut out for them.
1294
01:22:29,340 --> 01:22:30,340
Oh, they sure do.
1295
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,060
I got that wonderlust inside my veins.
1296
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,260
I get that feeling in the board of
trains.
1297
01:22:38,380 --> 01:22:42,640
We're looking at a different game here,
folks. Hollis and Lett giving Thick a
1298
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:43,640
run for his money.
1299
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:45,140
Oh, let's go!
1300
01:22:45,500 --> 01:22:47,060
Thick pickleball, right?
1301
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:51,240
Thick pickleball. Wow, things are
definitely heating up.
1302
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:54,880
New team on the court.
1303
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,920
Someone grab an extinguisher, because
these two are on fire!
1304
01:23:10,220 --> 01:23:11,220
Here we go!
1305
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:28,040
It's been a story of two halves tonight,
folks. Hollis and Leth coming up from
1306
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:32,280
behind to bring the score to 14 -13, but
now they are facing a must -win point.
1307
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:36,580
If they want to win, they'll need two
hard stops right here, one point to get
1308
01:23:36,580 --> 01:23:38,600
the serve back, and one more for the
win.
1309
01:23:39,700 --> 01:23:40,780
13 -14 -2.
1310
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,000
Oh, and here's another dinking rally.
1311
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:52,460
Something to fix it still up. Can Hollis
and Leth hold on?
1312
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,460
Whoa, an expert shot from Luke Hollis to
save the match.
1313
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:03,220
14 -13 -2. And the serve goes to left.
1314
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:05,460
Oh, this could be it, folks.
1315
01:24:07,900 --> 01:24:14,640
Back to the dink. Here we go. One bad
dink and it's game over. Caroline, I
1316
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:15,640
to get off my chest.
1317
01:24:16,500 --> 01:24:18,200
It's right now really the time to talk.
1318
01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:22,540
I'm so sorry for how vain I was at the
beginning of all this.
1319
01:24:23,100 --> 01:24:26,820
I just, I had no idea how good it could
feel to be in this with someone else.
1320
01:24:27,440 --> 01:24:31,460
To help me reconnect with my family,
with Jordan, with myself.
1321
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:35,400
They seem to be having a full -on
conversation while dinking.
1322
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:36,640
Oh.
1323
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:38,720
Damn it, Luke.
1324
01:24:39,860 --> 01:24:43,880
Look, I'm really sorry I got us into
this mess, okay? But honestly, if I'm
1325
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:45,100
to be in a mess with anyone, it's you.
1326
01:24:47,580 --> 01:24:49,820
From the moment we met, you brought
something out of me.
1327
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:52,800
Something that makes me stronger.
1328
01:24:53,400 --> 01:25:00,280
I know this isn't the best time to say
this, but... Caroline... I
1329
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:01,280
love you.
1330
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:02,720
I love you, too.
1331
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:05,200
No!
1332
01:25:40,310 --> 01:25:44,110
And that's the whole side of the
facility, our new pickleball court.
1333
01:25:44,590 --> 01:25:48,150
I can't stress enough how excited we are
that you are on the team.
1334
01:25:48,530 --> 01:25:50,610
With all these new pickleballers, you're
going to be...
1335
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:52,000
Super busy.
1336
01:25:52,180 --> 01:25:54,920
Caroline, we need you with Luke. What
happened? I don't know. We were on the
1337
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,580
back pick -a -ball courts and he just
went down. He keeps calling for you. Oh,
1338
01:25:57,580 --> 01:25:58,580
my gosh.
1339
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,240
Okay, we'll tell you when she's coming.
1340
01:26:02,460 --> 01:26:03,780
Luke! Oh, my gosh.
1341
01:26:04,660 --> 01:26:07,540
Luke! Luke, hey. Hey, what happened? Are
you okay?
1342
01:26:11,540 --> 01:26:14,080
Caroline, let's... Will you marry me?
1343
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:28,600
Oh my God.
