- There are way more important things

in the world than the game of basketball.

My friend Danny Grossman's daughter,

Charlie, is fighting for her life.

- Uh... - But I'm determined to help.

- Why does Steph Curry think that I'm dying?

Am I dying? - No.

- Am I? - No.

- No, you're not dying. - No, baby.

You are not dying. - No, no.

- You are perfectly healthy.

- OK, then why is he saying that?

- [sighs] It's actually--

- So crazy. You're gonna die.

I mean, not die. - It's a really funny story.

[laughter]

You're gonna love-- your mother actually tells it better.

- No, you're so much better. - You guys!

You guys! - What?

What? Yes.

Oh, yeah, yeah. - OK, look, here's the deal.

Daddy needed money, and I went to my old friend Steph Curry,

and I told a little, little, little fib

that snowballed and now you're kind of, sort of--

- Dying? Of what?

- Good question. See, you're smart.

You're a thinker, and that's what we love about you--

- Oh, but Mom. Mom.

- --is that you're critically always--

- Mom. - Well, so the what--

the of what-- - The of what.

- --is kind of up in the air, I think.

- We haven't really settled on anything--

- We haven't kind of come to a--

- --'cause a lot of the diseases are very, very sad.

- And we definitely--

- And we are already kind of like dancing with the devil

on a karmic level. - You think?

- Look, no one loves this.

- No one loves it. I hate it.

- This is not what we wanted.

- It was an accident.

- But we're in too deep.

Steph Curry just told the whole world.

Deposits have been made.

The game is right around the corner.

But, but, but I think there is a saving grace here.

- Uh-huh. - You know?

What if we leaned into the charity aspect of it, you know?

- Not bad.

- Turn a negative into a positive.

- Not a bad idea.

- We raise a bunch of money using this charity

game for a real disease.

And then we come clean.

We donate said money to said real disease to find a cure.

- I love that. I love that.

- How could people be mad at that?

- People love that. - Are you kidding?

They could be extremely mad.

I was shocked at first.

I mean, me and my dad have run scams before

to get autographs and free stuff.

Slip and falls, "I lost my mommy" type shit,

but nothing this big.

- Well, think of it like Lance Armstrong.

You know? Remember him?

- Yeah, yeah. - The guy who has no nuts?

He rode the bicycle? - [laughs]

- I mean, call him a liar all you want,

but that dude saved lives.

- Yeah, so he was really sick, though.

So that's a little different.

- Oh, word? - Yeah.

This could be good. This could be good.

This could be good because--

because, yes, yes, we are lying.

But we're raising a lot of money.

- Right.

- And then we could do a lot of good

because we actually help a lot of sick people.

And that's nice.

Right?

- It's bad. It's not good.

- Lying is bad. You should never do this.

- Never lie. - It is so freaking bad.

- Ever, ever lie.

- But-- - You tell Mommy and Dad.

God works in mysterious ways.

I think what we're saying is--

- Here's what we're saying.

- The only way out is through.

- Or, or if you're not comfortable with this--

- I have terms.

- Oh, OK.

- We're gonna bump my allowance to up to 500.

- Done. - A month?

- Easy. - I want TikTok.

- No way. - No.

- And also, it has to be like a cute disease.

- Yeah, it is acute.

You have two months to live-- maybe.

- No, Mom.

I mean like a cute disease.

Like, I want to stay cute.

I'm not shaving my head or using prosthetics

or doing any tremor work.

- Oh, God, no.

- No, nobody's gonna have to do that.

- We would never ask that of you, no.

- I love your hair. - All right.

OK.

So I am--

I'm dying.

Hey, I'm a Grossman. We're from the mud.

[school bell rings] - Hey.

- There were definitely some perks

to people thinking I was sick.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't have the homework.

I-- I think I left it at home.

- Oh, don't worry about it.

And feel free to skip class whenever you need to.

- * Whatever floats your boat *

* Whatever floats your boat *

- Can I be in the musical?

- Of course.

In fact, uh, you're the lead.

[chuckles] Izzy, you're out.

[upbeat music]

* *

- Hey, bruh.

You wanna take me to the dance?

- Do we have to, like, take an ambulance?

- He's hot, not smart.

* *

- Tonight we're sitting down with Charlie Grossman,

the brave young girl whose terminal illness has won

over Steph Curry and America.

- Plus, you'll never believe which Hollywood dadager

had a major tip slip at the beach.

That and more right here on "Access Hollywood."

- Rare disease. Pure spirit, great pitch.

Well short of the plate, but tremendous courage.

* *

- Speaking of lethal chicken wings.

- It's so hot. - It's so hot.

- But also, it's so sad.

- Oh, I rubbed my eyes!

Oh, I rubbed my eyes! I rubbed my eyes!

- And now we have a very special interview

with a very special girl.

- Oh, that's right.

Charlie Grossman, daughter of the former basketball

phenom Danny Grossman, has made time for us today.

Charlie, how are you feeling?

- Great.

- Charlie, we hear your fairy god angel, Stephen Curry, is--

- I got this whole thing dialed.

I'm telling you. I got the date locked.

- Come on. - UA is doing the jersey.

- What?

- NBC has the television rights.

- Yes. - All I need is the talent.

- Man, I told you, you could do it!

That's what I'm talking about.

- We are going to cure this thing.

- Have we figured out what exactly--

- Quiet on the tee, please.

[laughs] All right, Steph, give it that hawk tuah!

Whoo! Spit on it!

Where's he going? - Oh, no one told you?

It's cardio golf.

Good luck, bitch!

- Where's she going?

- Cardio golf, man, that's my jam.

And my friend, Mark, he put me on to it.

- I play golf for an hour and 15 minutes before work.

- How much golf can you play in an hour and 15 minutes?

- All 18 holes. - 18 holes is like 4 hours.

- Guys that play 4 and 1/2 hours,

5 hours, those are the guys that don't want to go home.

- I got stuff to do, but I love golf, so what I do is,

I tee off, sprint to the ball, hit it, repeat.

The only way I can play golf is if I

combine it with conditioning.

No days off.

We did the math.

If I didn't multitask one week, it would take me nine weeks.

- I'm coming!

- I hate golf, but this business

is a boys' club, so I golf.

- What hole is this?

- I smoke fat cigars.

I pop honey packs.

Anything to keep up with the fellas.

55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies, 55 Cokes, 100 tater

tots, 100 pizzas, 100 tenders, 100 meatballs, 100 coffees,

55 wings, 55 shakes, 55 pancakes, 55 pastas,

55 peppers, 150 tater tots.

- Perfect. - Yes!

I don't get it.

- What are honey packs?

- It's honey mixed with Viagra.

- Coming through! - Hey, hey!

Give me a ride!

I'll trade you this invention-- polo golf!

[upbeat music]

* *

- Whoo!

- Par!

- Steph Curry loved meeting you.

* *

- Sir, do you have any water?

- So are they any closer to a diagnosis?

- No, they're actually-- they feel like they're further away.

- Huh. - Oh!

I need a drink!

- Ever since Danny showed up,

something doesn't smell right.

Look, I would never, ever, ever,

ever say the kid's not sick.

I would never say that. I would never say that.

I'm not saying that.

But.

Wait, I just had the best idea.

Let's get Dr. Josh to do all his genetic testing

stuff on Charlie. - Yes.

- That way, he can find out exactly

what's wrong with Charlie, like, on a cellular level.

Right? - Such a great call.

You remember Canon?

He was about to be 5' 4" before Dr. Josh

caught the short king gene.

Rewrote the whole code.

Could you imagine, me with a short kid?

Ugh.

- You know-- [sighs]

That's so sweet of you guys. You don't have to.

I'm kind of-- I'm kind of covering that ground already.

- What is this? You seem weirdly hesitant.

- No, it's just-- I got the charity game.

I got a lot on my plate, so it's hard to--

- Oh, too much on your plate to get your daughter

potentially life-saving care?

That's weird. That's real weird.

I mean, that seems like that juice

would be worth the squeeze.

- That's your opinion.

My opinion is that I would essentially raise enough money

to get life-saving care for everybody's daughter

from all the Dr. Josh's.

- Yeah, well, let me help you, especially on the talent piece.

That's what I do.

- The last thing I needed was Kimberly poking around,

digging in on the game.

You know, honestly, she's always

been a little jealous of me.

- Me? Jealous of Danny?

Yeah, you know, I guess in some ways.

I always thought life would be easier if I was divorced,

disgraced, and dumb as rocks.

He's basically the Chicago of people.

What about Drake? - Wait, what?

You could get Drake? - Of course!

Drake's the homie.

We would just go up to Toronto, kiss the ring,

and I'm sure he'd be in.

Drake loves Stephen.

Loves him.

Drake hates Stephen, and Stephen hates Drake,

ever since Drake went too hard at Stephen at the 2019 finals.

[buzzer]

They haven't spoken since.

I'm not about to risk any of Steph's actual relationships.

It's not happening.

My plan was to get Danny out of Chicago

long enough to get Dr. Josh to test Charlie.

Steph is a billion dollar empire, you understand?

I wasn't about to let some used clothes

salesman take us down with some bullshit charity game.

No.

- But didn't you tell Danny that you

had put down millions of dollars' worth of deposits

on the game-- - I did.

- --for, like, the venue and-- - I did, yeah.

I lied.

Ain't that about a bitch.

- All right.

Looks like we're going to Toronto.

- Looks like we are. I love this.

- I love you.

And the Six is not ready.

- We're about to take the city by storm!

- Drip drop.

- You're all set. Welcome to the party.

No days off. Welcome.

Thanks so much. Oh, towel.

Welcome back. So good to see you.

- Sam?

- Sloan?

Sloan.

- You work here now, too?

I am so proud of your hustle, mama.

I mean-- - Me, too.

- --my daughter's not even sick, and I am just--

I'm a mess if I even miss a bake sale.

- Yeah, I bet. No, no, no.

I actually-- I don't work-work here.

This is my gym.

I mean, I guess I work here technically, but my boss is me.

I know.

- What? - I'm the captain now.

You're the one who bought Tao?

- [laughs]

I am the captain now--

- Oh, my God. - --of the gym.

- That's cool.

- After Steph bought Tao

to shut down Violet G.'s birthday,

Ayesha and I pitched his team a concept to convert it

into a gym that I could run.

It was actually disturbingly easy to convert

a nightclub into a gym.

We just left the bar.

Turns out most people in Chicago work out drunk.

And it's the same music.

It's-- it's fun.

It's a lot of work, you know?

But I want to model hard work for my daughter,

not just hard workouts in the middle of the day.

- Yeah, which is why Charlie's working so

hard on her TikTok presence.

My god.

I mean, she is quite the little influencer now, isn't she?

[laughs] @CharlieTheSickest.

It's-- it's so precious.

- It is precious.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Yeah.

- And so are her remaining days.

So that's why we're like, do whatever you want.

Whatever makes you happy, you know?

- I'm-- - Oh.

Thank you.

Yeah.

- OK.

This is amazing.

Thank you.

- OK, well, that-- you have to pay for that.

Did you know Charlie is on TikTok?

Have you-- are you on TikTok?

[rattling]

- Pranking my friends and telling them that I'm cured.

- Ooh. - [gasps]

- The five keys to looking alive even when you're dying.

First, we are going to start out with blush.

- She's all over TikTok, and I called her school.

She's never there.

And her teachers are giving her A's because they

think she's dying.

- Well, maybe she'll get into an Ivy.

- She's not going to an Ivy. She's going to be an idiot.

Are we doing permanent damage to her?

- I don't think so.

I mean, you and I both had pretty rough childhoods,

and look how we came out.

- You mean, terrible?

- Look, I'm sorry.

I'm on a-- I'm on a PJ, and it's a smaller one,

so I'm being kind of rude.

- Oh, my God. Ew, you've changed.

Bye.

- Could I have another one of those Toblerones?

[soft music]

* *

[doorbell chiming]

- Sam?

- Yeah?

- It's Mitch Grossman, uh, Danny's dad.

* *

- OK.

- Wow, I-- I knew Danny was married,

but I didn't know he was married to a fashion model.

- You can't see me.

- Oh, and she bites.

Are you still there? - What do you want?

- A mulligan on this conversation, for one.

But really, I was just hoping to meet my granddaughter.

- Well, Danny doesn't want you around.

- And I've accepted that.

But when I saw the news, I knew I had to try to meet

her before it's too late.

- Well, you tried.

That's nice.

Bye.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Please. Please.

I know I-- I--

I don't deserve it, but if you could

just find it in your heart to let me use your bathroom.

I need to shit in a way that a young person

couldn't possibly understand.

- Make it quick. - Where am I going?

- Downstairs. - Point.

Here we go. - Downstairs bathroom.

- All right. I'm touching cloth.

- [sighs]

- Man, Steph really hooked it up, huh?

- Yeah.

- Can you believe he called in a favor from Champagne Papi,

just for you?

- It's amazing.

- Can you even imagine if, for some reason,

the game didn't happen or wasn't legit or something

like that? Man.

- Phew! - It'd be crazy.

It'd ruin his whole reputation.

- [chuckles] He's a good friend.

- Yeah, speaking of, you know, it's so awesome you

and I get a chance to reconnect.

- I feel the same way.

- Yeah, we were so close, kind of told each other everything.

- Yeah.

- You can still tell me anything.

- You can tell me anything.

- Danny, tell me anything.

- OK, there is one thing, but, um,

you've gotta promise not to be mad at me.

- I promise I'll be fair.

- Oh, my God!

- Oh.

- Aunt Kimberly, thank you so much.

- I just thought maybe if Aubrey met her in person,

and she's such a big fan of Drake.

- Of course I know that Drake and Steph hate each other.

I'm the one that auctioned off the Chick-fil-A napkin

that Drake wrote his unreleased diss track on.

- I love Drake.

He's literally like my number one favorite of all time.

- Oh, is that-- is that right?

- I don't listen to Drake.

I'm not a white dad.

The only way out is through.

Plus, private plane content?

Are you kidding me?

This is going to get me more followers than my Children's

Memorial cafeteria mukbang.

- Come on, let's get in.

- Can we get ice cream? - Can we get ice cream?

- And sodas? - Sodas?

[laughs]

My plan is to call Kim's bluff until she cops to that shit.

Then I'm gonna tell Stephen,

and then Kimberly will be done-zo.

It's a classic game of chicken.

- Uh, you know what?

You know, I feel like we can do even better than Drake.

Why don't we just all head up back to the office

and, like, go over our list?

- Kim, who's better than Drake?

I mean, come on.

Charlie is so excited.

- Hey, fam, it's your girl, Charlie the Sickest.

Life these days is pretty mid.

But you know what's not?

Riding in this sick sprinter to a private jet to go meet Drake.

- Come on.

I mean, this-- this trip is going

to be the time of her life--

- You can use my code for 10%-- - --for at least--

- --off your next order.

- --that she has left.

- All right. OK, fine.

- All right. There she is.

[laughs] - But you gotta move.

That's my purse's seat. - Oh, sorry.

Yeah - Yeah.

[upbeat music]

* *

[cheering]

- Wow, Danny seems really happy.

- Yeah, well, he's wasted.

- He's wearing a bolo tie without irony?

- Hold on. Check this out.

[upbeat music]

- Oh, my God!

He hit my brother, Jack!

That doesn't surprise me, actually.

- And then. - Oh, my God!

- I know.

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

- Yeah.

So, yeah, we're divorced.

[laughs] - What?

You are? I didn't know that.

- Oh, yeah. We got married so young.

I mean, we tried.

We held on for a long time for Charlie, but--

- Oh, my gosh.

This is her, right?

- Yeah.

- How is she taking it all?

- Oh, she's a trooper.

She's so strong.

She's our strong trooper.

- God, I missed so much.

- Not much.

- My granddaughter that I--

I've never met is dying.

And it's all my fault.

- Oh, no, no, no. She's-- OK.

- All of the trauma that I put Danny

through, he's passed on to her in the form of a fatal illness.

- Mm, no, I don't think that we know--

- No, trust me.

I listened to a thing about it.

- OK, well, that's one person's opinion.

Don't blame yourself, though, actually, because she-- she

drinks a lot of diet Coke, and we were very loose with screen

time when she was a kid.

- You-- you--

God is taking her as payment for my sins!

I have to go to a meeting. - No, no, no.

- I have to go to a meeting right now.

- Hold on, wait, wait, wait. - I'm gonna take this with me.

- It's a lie. It's a lie.

- What's a lie? - Danny-- Danny lied.

She's not sick. Danny lied.

Danny lied.

He wanted Steph Curry to give him

a jersey that he could sell because he was

in trouble with a Polish guy.

Classic Danny.

- She's not sick.

- No.

It's bad, I know. - She's not sick at all?

At all?

It's all a lie?

It's all a lie.

- Yeah and, you know--

- Thanks. Thanks.

- Wait. Mitch--

- It's really nice to meet you.

Thank you so much.

[soft music]

* *

When I thought she was dying, it really

made me want to use again.

But then when I found out it was all a lie,

it really made me want to use again.

- Why exactly?

- Because when I thought she was sick,

there was at least a chance that it wasn't my fault.

But now I know it was definitely my fault.

Danny was running plays right out of my playbook.

- Flight time to Toronto, 2 1/2 hours.

- Oh, my gosh.

This is so cool.

- It's wild, right? [laughs]

- Yeah.

I can't believe this is really happening.

- Thank you for everything you've

done for me and my family.

I know we've been through some stuff,

but I will never forget this.

- Yeah, for sure.

For sure, yeah.

- This is just so awesome.

- Can you believe we're going to meet Drake?

- I know.

- Danny, I'm-- I'm gonna just call up to let

him know we're on our way.

- Of course. Yeah.

- Go for Dr. Josh.

- Yeah, hey.

Um, hey, sorry.

You don't-- you don't need to test Charlie anymore.

I changed my mind.

I should just stay out of it.

Sorry for sending you out there.

- Oh, it's OK.

I had some, uh, business in Chicago anyway.

- Mm, business. - And business is sexy.

[laughs]

- What?

- Sorry. We've had some wine.

Oop.

And she's gone.

- Bad news, team.

They said Drake's in the studio on a heater and has to cancel.

- Oh, really?

- I'm so sorry. Yeah.

We-- we gotta turn around.

- No. - What?

What do you mean no?

- No, we're going to see Drake.

- He's not gonna see us.

- What do you mean he's not gonna see us?

- He's in the studio. He's not gonna see us.

- We have the kid. OK?

Drake's not gonna say no to the kid.

I mean, look how sick she is.

- It's cool, Dad.

I get it.

He's gotta drop an album every six weeks,

so let's just-- let's just go.

- Charlie, stop being brave.

You're unwell.

- I'm actually having one of my good days, so--

- No, you're not.

Now we are going to get Drake to play in your charity

basketball game.

- Not a good look.

Sometimes he just can't help himself.

It's like he's got this voice in his head

telling him to do the wrong thing all the time.

I hope I don't get that.

- Danny. Danny.

- What?

- Drake and Stephen hate each other.

I set this whole thing up because I was suspicious you

were up to something.

But seeing you and Charlie together made me realize

I was wrong.

- Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

- So, my bad.

- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

- I'm sorry.

I'm-- I'm really sorry, Charlie.

- It's-- it's OK, Aunt Kimberly, really.

- How dare you?

You wasted precious moments that I

could have had with my daughter, who is dying.

- But I'm here with you. - I know, I know.

I feel awful about it.

It's just my job to watch the throne,

and motherfuckers come at me extra hard,

thinking I'm gonna be soft, so I have to go extra hard back.

But now I know you're a good dude.

Danny, I know that now.

And a great dad-- you're a great dad.

- And?

- You're really good at ordering

for the table at restaurants.

- I'm a weapon with the menu in my hand.

- Certified nuke boy. - No course is safe.

- They going out on sight.

- Mm.

Kim, I'm not gonna let this ruin 25 years of friendship.

- Well, not 25 consistent years, but still, net, yeah.

- That's like my longest friendship.

- Thanks.

I owe you.

- [laughs] I got her.

And yes, I do feel for her and her particular situation

as a female in a male-dominated industry,

as I am a male in a female-dominated industry--

apparel.

But I got her!

- Hey, um, what are you gonna tell Steph?

- I wouldn't worry about it.

I think Stephen will understand.

And I really think he'll be excited that you guys made up.

- Hey, Captain, we are trying to hash out something that's

kind of big right now, so if you could just give us a second

and fall back and just fly the plane.

- I'm just saying, I know Stephen pretty well.

- Yeah, Captain, we all know Stephen well.

Now could you please? We're doing something.

- Yeah, would you just not?

- Not a competition, guy.

- Guys, it's me! It's Stephen.

- Oh! - Are y'all serious?

- Oh, my God. - I see.

- You "Undercover Bossing" us?

- Duh. - Not duh.

- Not duh.

I feel like you need to explain that.

- Yeah, Stephen "Undercover Bosses" all the time.

It's a lot.

- And Jeff, the pilot, isn't his only character.

- When you're as famous as me, nobody tells you the truth.

But they do tell the truth to Jeff, the janitor.

I had my people make this up for me.

Get it? Jeff Curry?

How you think I heard about Kim taking Danny to see Drake?

- Why didn't you just put a stop to it right then?

Why let them fly all the way to Toronto?

- One, I have a flair for the dramatic.

Two, I love to fly.

- You were actually flying the plane?

- That's right.

I spend so much time on planes, I figured, hey,

why not just bang out the 250 hours

and get my pilot's license?

Like I said, I'm a multitask god.

But the main reason I did all this

was to get them to finally squash their beef.

I just wanted my friends to make up.

- I'm not a big hugger.

- Steph taught us that when people beef,

everyone's a loser.

The people beefing are losers.

The people talking about the beef are losers.

Weirdly, if you don't know about the beef, you're a loser.

So, all good.

I'm spinning a lot of plates, but it's all good.

[chuckles]

Spinning a lot of plates, though.

[hip-hop music]

- Of course the game's gonna be off the hook, trust me.

Bronny, baby, I love you.

I love the whole James Gang.

It would mean the world if you were all there.

All right. I gotta bounce.

I'm having dinner with the fam.

Say hi to Bryce for me.

[grunts]

- Put ice on it if it swells up, OK?

- Yeah. - Is it too tight?

- What are we doing for dinner, gang--

- Danny. - What's all this?

- Great timing.

We just sent Charlie's blood work off to the lab.

- You did?

- Gonna find out exactly what is going

on with this little angel.

Get her on an aggressive treatment plan ASAP.

- Yeah, I tried explaining that we

have a whole team of doctors, but Charlie insisted.

- She did?

- I was over it.

Being America's dying girl was starting to frickin' blow.

Skipping school was lonely.

And I sucked in the play.

- * Whatever floats your boat *

* Whatever floats your boat *

- * Whatever floats your-- *

Line?

The dance was a disaster.

[soft music]

- Sorry.

It's just a lot of pressure to be your first kiss

and, you know, your last.

- So I tried to end it myself.

Everyone, I have an announcement.

I am not sick.

- Yes, mama!

Sick does not define you!

- I'm not sick either.

Slay, queen.

Yeah.

- [chanting] I'm not sick!

[all chanting] I'm not sick!

I'm not sick! I'm not sick!

- Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

Kiddo, what happened, huh?

- Sorry, Dad, but sometimes the only way out is out.

- It's like we say in the programs--

"The same hot water that softens

the potato hardens the egg."

Life is what you're made of, right?

[upbeat music]
