Get ready to get down with Rel.

-How you doin'?
-Catch all-new episodes Sundays.

And check out
our other Fox programs--

9-1-1 and Empire.

Only on Fox.

Rel is taped in front
of a live studio audience.

Man, I can't believe we got
this great spot for dinner.

Dad, it's 3:30 in the afternoon.
I had lunch 45 minutes ago.

Okay. You want to live with me,
you eat when I eat.

Man, afterwards, we can get
some leftovers, go home

and watch this documentary
on the '70s gas crisis.

Wait. Didn't we just watch that?

No, no, no, man,
that was a documentary

on the '70s calculator craze.
That was a game changer.

Americans didn't have
to use their brains anymore.

Well, actually,
I got a date tonight.

Oh.
Well, go ahead, invite her by.

Matter of fact,
why don't you call up Rel?

Everybody can come by.

We do not get together enough
as a family, man.

Dad, we just watched
the Bulls game two nights ago.

You're gonna miss these moments
when I'm gone.

I'll be out the house,
walking around naked,

don't even know my own name,
can't find my way back home.

Hey, here comes the chef. Cool.

Konnichiwa.

(utensils clinking musically)

(Dad laughs)

All right, we're gonna start
with the vegetables, okay?

Look at these vegetables...
Oh, look at that.

(laughing):
Oh, look at that.

Choo-choo! Chooga-chugga,
chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga...

(laughter)

Oh, and I'm about... and I'm
gonna throw it over there.

You ready? Here we go.

Uh... (clears throat)

Give me... give me,
give me one second.

Damn it, Harold!

What is wrong with you?!
Okay, it's just a shrimp tail!

It should be thrown in the bowl!
Why did you use your left hand?

You're right-handed! Also,

you're not supposed
to use the Japanese accent.

They've told you a hundred times
that it's racist,

and it makes everybody at work
feel uncomfortable.

You don't want them
to start talking jive, do you?

Do you?!

Ah, there. (laughs)
You know what I mean?

All right, what are we gonna do?

We're gonna get these eggs
going, right?

Oh. (chuckles) Egg time.

-Egg time. Ooh!
-(Dad and Harold laugh)

Aah!

(laughing):
One second, I'll be right back.

You idiot!

You don't know
how to break a freaking egg?!

Now you got yolk on your hand!

Damn it!
Stop it, Harold!

Uh, hi. (laughs)

You know, this... (laughs)

Look, guys,
I'll-I'll level with you.

I don't have a Japanese accent.

-I don't know if you knew that.
-Yeah.

I'm an ordinary African-American
man named Harold.

(sighs) Guys, look,
this is my first day.

I just really wanted
to impress you guys.

I've been training all week,
and,

you know, my family's usually
disappointed! (screaming)

Why did you put your hands
on the grill, you idiot?!

* This how we do it in the Chi

* On the West Side

* Where we always
keep it tippin' *

* Man, that ain't no lie *

* Oh, oh, oh. *

All right, Terry, Erica,
look, I love helping you

with your homework on FaceTime
and everything,

but this new math is a little
confusing, so do me a favor.

Everything I told you,
ask your mama if it's right.

A'ight? Okay, I love y'all.

Aw. Bye.

Ooh. All right, let's see here.

Today...

It says here you got
hypoglycemia, hypertension.

Wow. You're what we call

in the medical community
a "hype man." (laughs)

Oh, great, another Patch Adams
up in this bitch.

You know, with that attitude,
you're not gonna get a lollipop.

(laughs)
I'm kidding.

I got you right here, brother.
There we go.

(laughs)

Okay, you ain't gonna have it.
It's all good.

Well, Mr. Nickels...

Wait. Grady Nickels.

Were you in a band called
The Dragons?

Oh. You a fan, huh?

Uh, I mean, sort of.

Look, my dad was in The Dragons.
He played the bass.

Milton's son became a doctor.

Not exactly.

I mean, I'm a nurse. (chuckles)

Oh. That sounds more like it.

I don't know what that means,
but you know something?

I think Dad'll be really excited
to know that you're here,

you know what I mean?
So, I'm gonna give him a call.

This is what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna be like,

"Hey, Dad.
Who's in this hospital?

You ain't gonna believe it."

And then you're gonna just
start singing. (laughs)

Oh, this is gonna be beautiful.

One of us gonna cry.
It's probably gonna be me.

I never want to talk
to that bastard again.

I mean,
you could've just said that.

You didn't have
to knock my phone down.

REL:
I didn't realize

Dad was hated so much
by somebody

that they would break my phone
to get back at him.

And damn it,
I forgot to get their insurance.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.

Wasn't Nickels the front man
in the band's publicity photos?

He was the one going like this,
right?

No, no, no.
See, you got that all wrong.

That-that was Mitchell, okay?
Nickels was the one like this.

You know, he did the...
the sleepy, sexy pose.

NAT:
Oh. Mm-hmm.

So, what pose did y'all dad do?

-Oh.
-Oh. Oh, no, see, he would...

He was cool about it, right?

He was on a lamp...
lamppost like this.

He had his... his legs crossed,

he had his bass in his hand,
he did this.

So what do you think happened
between Dad and Nickels, anyway?

I'm guessing somebody stole
somebody's woman or their TV.

'Cause those are the only
two things guys care about.

Bitches and flat-screens.

Prove me wrong.

Do you always listen
to people's conversations?

Yes, all the time,
unless they're boring.

But y'all problems are so good,
though.

Look, I don't really get it,
myself, too,

'cause I-I thought
they were all still cool.

Maybe just lost touch
with each other.

You know, you know,
life happens.

Look, it seems like Dad has lost
touch with all of his friends.

I mean, I love him,

but I'm running out
of documentaries to watch.

I feel like
I'm wasting my 20s being 60.

REL:
Hey, you know something?

Dad always texting me at work,
"What's up?"

And then, if, like...
if he calls me, I don't answer,

then he FaceTime me.
The one thing I hate

about FaceTiming Dad--
he's real close to the phone.

Why do old people be so close
to the phone

-when they're FaceTiming?
-Oh.

And plus, Dad is so needy.
You know what I'm saying?

Man, for the first time, Britt,
I'm actually jealous

that your dad abandoned you.
(chuckles)

Thanks, Nat.
I'll try to remember that

the next time
I'm at a movie with a guy,

and he goes to get the popcorn,

and I assume
he ain't coming back.

You know what you should do?

Go to one of those theaters
where you order the popcorn

from your seat,
and they bring it to you.

That'll keep his ass
in that seat.

That actually ain't a bad idea.

-So really, what should we do?
-REL: Look,

we know
how Nickels feel about Dad,

but we don't know
how Dad feel about Nickels.

Look, I don't know.

Maybe we should do what he did
to us when we fought.

Take off his belt
and light our asses up?

No, no, no, the other thing.

Okay, when, you know,
he would lock us up in a room

and make us talk
until we made up.

Maybe we get both of them
in the same room,

and all those old memories start
coming up, they'll stop beefing.

Only thing about that is,
we just got to figure out a way

to get Dad to see Nickels
in the hospital.

Leave that to me.

Oh, I know this is
gonna be good.

Man, I can't believe
Scottie Pippen is getting

his appendix taken out.
(chuckles)

-Thanks, Nat.
-I knew you'd want to come here.

You're the biggest
Scottie Pippen fan I know.

-(chuckles)
-I know, man.

Uh, get that off of you.

I got a surprise for you.

-I'm all better?
-(scoffs) No.

But, I got
a non-medical surprise for you.

You got a visitor.

My estranged wife?

No.

My estranged daughter?

No, but damn, man,

how many estranged people
you got in your life?

Scottie Pippen,
it's such an hon...

Nickels?

You ain't Scottie Pippen.

What's going on, Rel?

Hear me out. Nickels.

This is... your homeboy.
And it's you here.

You know, I figured, you know,
I don't know what happened,

'cause I wasn't really born
when...

you know, with you guys,
years ago. And I was like,

"Okay, maybe
I should do a good thing,

"'cause they used
to be bandmates and friends.

"How about I get them together,
right,

and have them talk
and figure some things out?"

So, what me and Nat gonna do--
we gonna leave

and let y'all do your thing,
a'ight?

-Son of a bitch!
-Dirty bastard! -Hey, wait, wait.

-Hey! Hey! Wait, wait, wait!
-(indistinct chatter)

-Wait! Hey!
-What?

Oh, wait! Hey! Hey!

You bring a man here I hate
in a room I can't leave?!

Man, I don't care about... Pull
the plug, Rel! Pull the plug!

-What. Wait. What? What plug?
-Pull the plug, Rel!

Wait. Dad, it's a phone charger.

I don't care! Pull it!

He can't call nobody.

Give me my ball back!

Oh, man, that fight was crazy.

Look, I know Dad was trying
to hurt Nickels,

but when I talked to the doctor,
he said

that the physical stimulation
actually improved

his overall heart function.

Nah, man,
you don't fight like that

if all you did was lose touch
with somebody.

There's something
Dad's not telling us.

He ain't tell us Nickels was
this fine. (chuckles)

Okay, slow down, slow down,
Britt, okay?

That was 30 years ago.

Look, I looked at his X-rays,
okay?

He look like Donald Glover
on the outside,

but inside, he's Danny Glover.

Look, Rel,
I love an old hot guy.

He's still got the confidence
of a young hot guy,

just without the options.

You know what a man like that
gets as he grows older?

Sick.

The man is in a hospital bed.

No. Perspective.

Look, they realize
they can't treat women

like they used to, right?
So they up their game.

If I want a man that's gonna
make me the center of his life,

I'm-a choose a man that ain't
got that much life left.

Hmm.

I mean, you make a good point,
but damn.

You owe me
Scottie Pippen's autograph.

And don't come home
till you get it.

Hi, Dad. Quick question.

What was that fight with Nickels
all about?

All right, you want the truth?
I'll tell you the truth.

Back in the day, Nickels tried
to hook up with your mom.

It was before
one of our big shows.

I saw him talking to her
with my own eyes.

Then when I confronted him
about it, you know,

he got mad
and kicked me out the band.

Pretty bastard think
everything belong to him.

Wait, but-but Mom wouldn't
hook up with Nickels, right?

No, no. We had a loyal
and loving relationship.

It's about Nickels crossing
that unforgivable line.

You know what I'm talking about.

All right, it makes sense.

I get why you would be upset,

but, you know, that flirtation
happened, like, decades ago.

-You still would hold on
to a grudge like that? -Yes.

A good grudge
will keep you young and vital.

Listen, Dad, living with you,

I've noticed that you don't have
that many friends or...

a friend at all.

Uh, wouldn't it be nice

-if you just had somebody...
-DAD: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I know you not
calling me lonely.

Mr. Go on a Fake Date.

Ain't no girl come
by the house yet.

I choose to be by myself,

just like I choose

to go down to the bar
and read a newspaper.

By myself. By choice.

I can't believe
all this happened

because Nickels flirted
with Mom.

It's not. Look...

Nickels flirts with your mother,

and your dad is the one
to get kicked out?

Story don't add up.
Your father lying.

So if y'all want them
to be friends again,

you're gonna have to find out
what really happened.

(exhales)
Brittany's got a point.

All right, Nat.

We got to go down here
and holler at Nickels.

W-Wait, I should come, too.

(chuckles) I could probably
raise his... spirits.

-Hey, Mr. Nickels.
-Hey.

How you doing, man?
Uh, how you feeling?

-Good, except I got
this pain in my... -Oh, oh, okay.

I didn't really mean it.
I'm off the clock. (chuckles)

But I did have a question
for you.

Why did you kick my dad
out of The Dragons?

(chuckles): Okay, before we get
into all of that, though,

I just want to say I'm Brittany.

And I'm Grady Nickels.

And you can call me all day
and all of the night.

Look at you.

So wise, so sexy, so sick.

Brittany, okay, come on, now.

(mouths)

Look, we want to know
what happened with The Dragons.

Did you really hook up
with our mom?

Is that what
that jackass told you?

That's not even remotely
what happened.

(funk music playing)

It was a warm, funky
Saturday afternoon in 1979.

It was Soul Battle,

Chicago's biggest and only
TV band competition show.

The Dragons were on live TV,

and if we won, we would've been
the opening act for Rick James

on the East Coast leg
of his tour.

Now, your dad did see me talking
to your mom,

but I wasn't coming on to her.

I got too much respect for her
to do that.

Although I was known as a bit of
a ladies' man back in the day.

I can see that. (chuckles)

Okay, okay, Brittany,
would you slow down?

Stop being so thirsty and let
the man finish his story.

But your dad was convinced
he saw what he saw,

so he brought his anger
onto stage.

I started to do my
locally famous Dragon Hip Dip

with the Soul Battle Girls.

And that's when it happened.

*

(audience exclaiming)

How you like that now,
pretty bastard?

Huh? Who got the hip moves now?

*

Go on.
I don't need none of y'all.

Go on.

So, that was the last time
that your father and I spoke.

Until the other day...

when we tried
to choke each other.

Okay, look,
my dad says one thing,

and then you say another thing.

Look, one of y'all lying.

-Hey, Nickels, you up?
-Yes.

Come on in, man. Perfect timing.

Ask them.

Hey, these are Milton's sons.

(chuckles):
Wait, so you guys are the...

These are
the other three Dragons.

I'm Mitchell.

White Steve.

Regular Steve.

You all aged so well.
Can I be in the band?

(Brittany
and Regular Steve chuckle)

-Brittany.
-What, damn it?

I'm single.

REL:
Look, guys.

I just need a few answers,
for real.

Now, which one of them
is the reason why The Dragons...

It's your daddy's fault.

100% your dad.

Oh, your dad, man. He sucks.

Okay, Dad, look,
we talked to The Dragons,

and they told us the reason why
you was kicked out the group.

It wasn't
for confronting Nickels.

They kicked you out because
you acted really crazy onstage

and ruined their chances
of opening up for Rick James.

I tried to spare you
the details, man.

I'm a grown-ass man,
so I did what I had to do.

He also let us know

that he didn't come on
to Mom like that.

So why you ain't just ask Mom
what happened?

I did ask her, all right?

-When we got home.
-And what'd she say?

She said I was mistaken
and I owed Nickels an apology.

But you know what?
I said, "What's done is done."

And then I slept on the couch
for a week.

So why won't you just apologize?

Look, man, I just fought
with my friend on live TV.

Yeah, I-I was in too deep.

Hate to be real with you, Dad,
but that's just being petty.

Look, Dad, you taught us, right,

you taught us
to own up to our mistakes.

The way Shannon left,

I had to take a look at myself
in the mirror, right?

And own up to the things I did.

And I had to ask myself,
"What did you do?

And what you gonna do
to make it better?"

Now, look, I'm not trying
to be disrespectful, Dad,

but you need to do
the same thing.

Oh, you going
right past disrespectful.

You're on your way
to insulting, okay?

Dad, you got four guys

that you got history with.

And life is short.
And you'll be sorry

if you don't take this chance
to reconnect with them.

Look, I-I wish I could go back
and make things different.

-But it's too late.
-NAT: Well, Pop...

...it might not be too late.

Oh, what the hell is going on?

Come on in, fellas.

DAD:
Nickels?

You're out the hospital already?
I thought you were sick.

We took care of that. (chuckles)

I'm-a have a stent put
in my heart tomorrow.

And because nothing
is guaranteed,

I figured I'd give you a chance
to apologize,

because I was never flirting
with your girl.

I was only telling her how great
of a man she has.

Look, a part of me wishes
I hadn't attacked you

on live TV
and, uh, destroyed the band.

And, uh...

um...

I'm-I'm sorry.

It was okay.
It was only our career.

And I can understand
why you might have thought

I was flirting with your girl

since I did sleep
with everybody else's girl.

And Regular Steve's mom.

Oh, it's cool. He asked first.

REL:
Okay, now, look,

this is all kind of weird,
this whole situation,

but I am happy to see
The Dragons back together again.

Well... (chuckles)

...we're really not
back together unless...

-One, two, three.
-ALL: Dragons!

-(whoops)
-(laughs)

Yeah, it's gonna be funky.

This is a little song I wrote
for all my many special ladies.

-Mm-hmm.
-You know who you are, even if I don't.

(laughter)

It's called "Sneaky Freaky."

("Sneaky Freaky" playing)

* Just because you wear a ring

* It don't mean a thing *

* When your man is going solo

* Me and you
put on our own show *

* And nobody needs to know

* We're gettin' sneaky freaky,
ow *

* We're gettin'
sneaky freaky, ow... *

Look, would it make y'all
uncomfortable

if I threw my panties on stage?

Hey, look, I don't know
if you know this,

but I'm actually with the band,
you know what I mean?

(chuckles):
I'm the videographer. Ooh, okay.

* Ow, we're gettin'
sneaky freaky *

* Ow

* We're gettin' sneaky freaky *

* Ow, we're gettin'
sneaky freaky *

* Ow

* Sneaky, sneaky,
freaky, freaky *

* Sneaky,
sneaky, freaky, freaky *

* Sneaky, sneaky,
freaky, freaky *

* Sneaky,
sneaky, freaky, freaky *

* We're gettin' sneaky freaky. *

(cheering)

Cheers, my brother.
I'm glad you're feeling better.

Yeah, man. Your son said
take it easy on the sodium,

but he ain't here.

Harold, double soy sauce.

(Harold laughs)

You hear that, Harold?
They love you, man.

(laughs) You are the man.

That's right. Here we go.

(laughs) Yes!

You said double soy sauce,
I got you. (laughs)

I'm gonna double the soy sauce.

We're gonna
get this shrimp started.

All right,
I'm about to do this trick here,

and I hope y'all are ready.

This is my famous shrimp toss.

You ready?

No look.

Come on, now.
Come on. Come on, now.

MAN:
Sing it!

WOMAN:
That's our girl.

(cheering)
