[music]

Almost there.

Almost there.

I don't know why you blindfolded me.

I can tell we're in the garage from the smell.

FYI, you eat way too much turkey jerky.

Ever since we agreed to use all the money we found

to start a label,

we struggled to come up with the perfect name for it.

Until now.

Remove your blindfold.

Surprise!

"So So So Def Records"?

Now, I know the legendary Jermaine Dupri

already created So So Def Records.

But ours has a extra "So". So, what do you think?

I think no, because we'd get so, so, so sued.

I was worried you'd say that.

So, I came up with a backup name.

Surprise!

"So So So Def Jam Records"?

Where did you get the money you wasted on these?

Mmmm...

I may or may not have,

but definitely did use a little bit of the money

we set aside for the label.

Dylan, for the last time,

you're in charge of the music side of the record label...

You're in charge of the business side, I know.

-I just... -I don't like

the way that sentence is starting.

Look, the reason why I'm in charge of the money and not you

is to avoid wasting it on dumb banners.

Please tell me there isn't another one.

Umm!, of course not...

Um... [awkwardly laughs]

I'm not that irresponsible.

Well, if that's all, I need to...

Wait.

I have another surprise

that I think you might actually like.

I just finished the track for our label's first single.

[music]

So, what do you think?

Or should I say, "So, so, so, what do you think?"

You should not say that.

But I do think you should play that again,

because that beat slaps.

Alright.

[music]

* From the Chi down to ATL, family livin' well *

* Uncle Myles ain't understand my style *

* Had to show and tell

* Auntie Yaz said I'm good at math *

* I should never fail

* And cousin Becca, she a steppa *

* Charlie rollin' with the kid *

* Yeah, Ah (WHO?), you gon' love Young Dylan *

* Yeah, Ah (WHO?), who gon' love Young Dylan? *

* Yeah, Ah (WHO?), who gon' love Young Dylan (Young Dylan) *

* Yeah, Ah (WHO?), you gon' love Young Dylan (Young Dylan) *

* Yeah, Ah (WHO?), who gon' love Young Dylan *

* (You gon' love Young Dylan)

* Yeah, Ah (WHO?), you gon' love Young Dylan

[music]

Dylan, I wanna talk to you about our first single.

Oh, you wanna hear it again?

-Bet. -No.

Well, yes, but later.

So, what's up?

We needed to capitalize on this song.

Way ahead of you.

As the creative CEO,

I was thinkin' we should make a sick music video

for the song.

And I can get the perfect bling for it.

A grill from Gil's Grills and Things.

A grill from Gil's Grills and Things?

Seriously?

Yeah, it's where all the celebs go to get theirs

when they come to Atlanta.

Dylan, you've wasted enough money already.

But don't worry, this grill is super cheap.

See, I can be trusted to make smart business moves,

just like you.

How about we chill on the grills and think of something else?

Okay, fine.

What if...?!

Nah.

What if...?

Nah...

What if...?

Yes!

How about we get a feature rapper

to help bless the track with me?

Someone legit, to show everyone

that our label can compete with all the others.

Now you're finally makin' sense.

But there's only one problem.

What's that?

Big artists want big money for their vocals.

That's why I haven't been featured on anyone's track, yet.

The money hasn't been right.

So, it's not because nobody asked you?

They haven't asked me because they know they can't afford me!

Duh!

Well, I can help you find someone.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, cuzzo.

You fall back and do the boring business work,

while I do the fun creative work,

like talkin' to the artist.

Trust me, I got this.

Come on! When have I ever let you down?

-Wh-- -[Dylan] Exactly!

[imitating go-kart]

[chuckles] That is so cute, Myles.

Are you and Charlie going go-karting today?

It's been awhile since you two did that.

I know.

I realized that he and I hadn't spent much time

doin' anything together lately, so...

I was hopin' we could head down to the tracks.

He's growin' up so fast, babe.

It's like, I'm gonna turn around one day,

and I won't be able to recognize him anymore.

I think you have some time before that happens.

Fare thee well, travelers.

Maybe you have less time than I thought.

[laughs]

What's goin' on, Charlie?

I'm in need of some elixir of life.

Yeah, not sure we put that on the grocery list.

Baby?

First I'm hearing of it.

Orange juice will do.

Oh, right. I'll go get you some.

Hey, is this my go-kart helmet?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I pulled out our go-karts.

I thought we could take 'em down to the track and race 'em.

You know, put some people into the hay walls,

have some fun like we used to.

What do you say?

Sorry, Dad, but I have to get ready to play Swamps and Spells.

Oh, okay, yeah, right.

Like your, you new favorite game, yeah.

Yeah, but I'm takin' this game to the next level.

Next level?

Uh-huh!

We aren't just going to be sitting around in our costumes,

and playin' the game on our devices.

I'm taking us off our tech and putting us in the game.

Wow, that sounds exciting.

So, this is like a real roleplaying game?

Like an RRPG?

Yeah, okay, anyway, I'm the swamp master,

and I guide the characters through a murky adventure!

Yeah, yeah. Well, okay.

Is there anything I can do?

Like, I can be,

I can be the, the, the snack master,

and, and guide you on a yummy adventure.

That's already done, Dad.

Okay...

So, is there, like, a dad hero in your game?

[laughs]

No!

Could you imagine? Good one, Dad.

Here you go, Charlie.

I should get going.

I have a lot of preparing to do before the others get here...

And change the batteries in my staff.

[chuckles]

[Charlie][laughing] Dad heroes, priceless [laughing]

[laughs] [sighs]

Well, would Method Man bless the track for bitcoins?

Follow-up question, can you tell me what bitcoins are?

Hello?

Hello?

I take it the search isn't going well?

Man, I've called every rapper from old school

to new school,

and all their reps either hung up on me

or called me names I am not allowed to repeat.

Wow, that bad?

Yeah, man. I took all my shots and missed.

I'm like the reverse Kobe.

Well, I wasn't betting against you or anything,

but I thought this might happen.

So, I took it upon myself

and found the perfect feature artist:

Pi'erre Bourne.

The Pi'erre Bourne? How?

A lady in Grandma Viola's church bingo league

is Pi'erre's grandma.

So, I asked Grandma to ask Pi'erre's grandma.

Now I'm just waiting for him to say yes.

But...

I'm supposed to be in charge of the music and finding somebody.

But you didn't.

Stop bringin' up the past.

It's not the past, you just told me you didn't!

Don't be mad because I did your job better than you.

And don't tell me what not to be mad at!

Save us, swamp master!

Help us, old wise one!

Alas, mythical warriors.

The swamp master cannot intervene.

Though I did try to warn 'em not to look into the eyes

of those twin crocodiles.

Now they're crying crocodile tears

under their spells.

Don't worry, I'll save us. As usual.

Wait!

You could lose 70% of your health points.

Unless...

Are you serious right now?

How cute are you guys?

Bethany, you're playin' this game, too?

Yeah, I get to be a baddie with a blade.

[Yasmine] Oh!

Mom, Dad is being a distraction.

He is? How?

Alright, alright, alright, fine. I'll stop ticklin' ya.

But did you hear the one about the magic skillet?

It's made of cast iron.

Oh, like that.

I see.

No, let me... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

We gotta make a music video.

Just like I told her.

So, I gotta buy that blinged-out grill

to make sure the music video for our first single pops.

Dang it!

Rebecca is in charge of

the business and the money for the label!

Guess she should've have thought about that

before she stepped into my lane.

Besides, she'll thank me later

when the music video's a huge hit.

[music]

[music]

Hey.

You guys gonna play some more of that game today?

Yeah, and I have some surprises in store

for Bethany, Booder, and Christian.

Spoiler alert...

It's a dragon!

Well, I have a spoiler alert of my own.

Your dad would really like to

play this strange, mythical game, too.

-Really? -Yes.

Between you and me,

he thinks you two are losing your father-son connection,

and he's desperate.

I had no idea.

Is that because I passed on go-karts?

Well, you two haven't done a lot lately.

Can you do me a favor and invite him to join this game?

Oh, hey, Dad.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you talking to me?

Yeah, you're my dad.

[sighs]

So, look, we're gonna start playing later.

-Would you like to join us? -I mean,

let me tell you somethin', I got so much to do...

-Myles. -Yes, please.

Okay, let's create a character for you.

Okay, good, good, good, good.

We'll start with the name.

Okay...

LeBron.

It should be a fantasy name.

Yeah, LeBron is on my fantasy basketball team.

Okay, what kind of character do you want LeBron to be?

A giant.

LeBron the giant?

Yeah, yeah.

And I want him to fly, like a superhero.

This is not a superhero game.

I don't know what the difference is.

Oh, when I do my, my, my wig,

can I have, like, like, a hole right here?

No.

[Myles] Okay.

Yes, yes, y'all!

Young Dylan in the house!

What's up, ladies?

Dylan, I have the best news ever!

Pi'erre Bourne said yes. He'll bless the track.

Seriously?!

Isn't this the best news ever?

Look at you, all speechless.

[sighs] Guess this proves I'm great at being a girlboss.

I bet you're glad I talked you out of

buying that ridiculous grill.

Because if you had,

we wouldn't have enough money to pay Pi'erre,

and then we'd have nobody.

So, say something.

This is great.

I have to go. I have so much to do.

[music]

Charlie, I messed up!

She got the artist, she got the artist!

Rebecca got Pi'erre Bourne to bless our track,

and because I bought those grills,

we can't afford him!

-Well... -Why didn't you tell me

this was a bad idea, man?!

Do better!

Well...

-Maybe you should... -Why do you keep sayin' "well"?

Just return the grill and get your money back.

Problem solved.

I tried that already.

But the people at Gil's Grills said that

there's a no-return policy.

And even if there was,

they said they'd never take it back

because my mouth juice has been all over it.

Can you believe that?

I mean, the mouth is full of bacteria.

The only good news is that Rebecca hasn't noticed

that the money's gone yet.

[phone dinging]

It's Rebecca.

She wants to meet in the garage!

She says it's urgent!

Hey, Becks.

How, how's it going?

There's something very serious I need to talk to you about.

Something very upsetting.

Have a seat.

There's no easy way to say this,

but some of our label money is missing,

and now we don't have enough money

to pay Pi'erre to perform on our track.

And it's all my fault!

It is?

Yes, I spent money on things I thought we needed,

like promotional fliers

and comfy chairs for business clients,

and even business cards.

I must've lost track of all the money that was going out.

So, you're blaming yourself for spending the money,

and no one else?

Yeah, and I'm so sorry.

I should've never gloated about being able to do

your job and mine,

because clearly, I can't even do my own.

No need to beat yourself up.

I just hope that you learned your lesson.

I did.

To replace the money,

I found a side hustle cleaning the boys' locker room at school.

But that place is the worst! Even I don't wanna be in there.

I know.

It's so bad, even the janitor refuses to clean it.

It's gonna be the worst thing I've ever had to do,

but I deserve it.

As long as you know what you did,

we're all good.

You're a way better person than me, Dylan.

You're right.

I really am.

For LeBron's next move,

he would like to buy a cheeseburger

from Ye 'Ole Troll Tavern.

You can't be serious!

We're in the middle of fighting a horde of vampire slug people.

Besides, Mr. Wilson, your character already conjured

the beast of the feast and ate all that.

Charlie, I thought you said that when it was my turn,

I could do what I wanted to do.

I did say that, yes.

Okay, well, LeBron needs fuel for the flight.

Alright, Dad. Just roll.

Hey!

Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about, alright, boy!

[laughs] Up top, up top, Chuck. Up top, Charles.

Come on, let's do it.

Yeah, come on, jump for it. Reach for it. Try it.

Can't do it, can you?

Your giant/superhero is victorious.

[Myles laughs] Eat your burger.

All this talkin' about food has made LeBron hungry.

I'ma go get some snacks.

Dude, your dad is totally killing the vibe.

Yeah, this is the third time

he's rolled for something ridiculous.

Four, if you count the time he rolled for

Beyoncé concert tickets.

You have to do something about him, Charlie.

Guys, he's my dad.

I can't just tell him that we don't want him to play.

[Myles] You don't have to.

Yeah, I, I just remembered

there was a couple things I, I need to go take care of, anyway.

You guys go ahead and finish without me.

Oh, and if any of you other characters

still want those Beyoncé tickets...

Remember, they're front row.

[music]

Dylan, I don't know why you tagged along.

You don't need to help.

I'm the one who spent the money,

so I'm the one who has to earn it back

by cleaning the boys' locker room

for the rest of the school year.

I'm not helping.

I told you, I left my earbuds in the boys' locker room.

I'm just here to find them

so you don't accidentally throw them away.

You've been messin' up a lot lately.

[both gag]

Boys are so gross.

We can be, yes.

This place looks like a scene in a horror movie.

Well, this is the place where good smells go to die.

But I guess I have to help you, after all.

That way I can find my earbuds.

That I didn't lie about leaving here somewhere.

[screams]

Rebecca!

[Rebecca] This is what I get. I deserve every second of this.

You should just fire me from the label,

save yourself the headache, and...

I took the missing money to buy a grill!

[Rebecca] What?!

When you did creative job and tried to get Pi'erre Bourne,

I wanted to show you that I could do yours, too.

I figured we'd never get him,

so I moved forward with the music video

to bring more people to the label.

I'm sorry. Would you ever forgive me?

[screams]

[Rebecca] You made me think I was a bad person!

And now we're stuck in a stink pile!

[Dylan] Well, at least we're stuck together.

And you know partners are...

[Rebecca] Don't say nothin' else!

[engine revving sounds]

Can we talk, druid to superhero-giant?

Yeah, sure.

Mom said you were worried that

we haven't been spending a lot of time together.

Yeah, I missed it.

You know, I guess I wanted to hang out so bad

that I messed up the game for you guys.

Dad, you know I'm growing up.

I like new things, and I have new interests.

But that doesn't mean I can't like those things

and still like doing things with you.

[laughs] Yeah, I guess that's true.

How'd you get so wise?

You think they give druid robes to just anybody?

[Myles laughs]

So, maybe...

Go-karting next weekend?

I was thinkin' right now, unless you're yella'.

What?

Oh, oh, okay, okay! I see what we doin'.

Hold on, hold on. Okay...

Hey, hey, no fair!

Cheating! Cheating!

[music]

[music]

Okay, Becks. What are you most upset about?

That I lied,

or that we didn't get paid for the locker room job?

Both!

Both wasn't one of the options. [laughs]

This is no laughing matter, Dylan!

We don't have enough money to pay Pi'erre Bourne

to perform on our track.

Face it, our label's over before it even got started.

But it's not over.

We just need to be better partners.

I gotta start trusting you

when you step into my creative lane,

because you're only tryin' to help.

Look, we tried, and it didn't work.

If you just trust me to step into your business lane,

I think I still know how to get Pi'erre Bourne

to bless our track.

[music]

* It's about time that you see me winnin' *

* It's about time that you see me winnin' *

* It's about time that you see me winnin' *

Aight.

Mr. Pi'erre Bourne, sir.

I think it's good, but can we do it again?

I know I said id do this for free,

but y'all really pushin' y'all luck.

Okay, if that's how you feel...

Why'd the music stop?

Mr. Pi'erre says he doesn't wanna lay down any more verses.

Is that right?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I guess I'd have to tell your grandma

that you don't wanna help my grandbabies.

You know my grandma?

Aha.

I'm sorry. We'll run it back.

Yeah.

Thanks, Grandma.

Yeah, we couldn't have done this without you.

You know there isn't anything

I wouldn't do for my grandbabies.

Alright.

[music]

* It's about time that you see me winnin' *

* It's about time that you see me winnin' *

* It's about time that you see me winnin' *

[applauding]

Thank you.
