Chad & JT Go Deep (2022) s01e01 Episode Script

1
- [JT] Howdy, miss.
- [Chad] How's it going?
[JT] Can we get you to sign our petition?
Hey, you've got a great smile, sir.
Would you sign our petition
to stop talking shit on e-scooters?
To stop talking e-shit on scooters?
Just regular shit on e-scooters.
- Sure.
- Thanks.
What's e-shit?
Yeah, we're pretty prominent
scooter riders,
and we've been facing
some pretty heavy verbal abuse
every time we've been riding.
Someone called me a straight-up bitch.
That's fucked up, bro.
I mean, I don't like them.
People who ride them tend to be
fucking stupid and dangerous on them.
I don't know, dude.
Most riders I know are chill.
It's not about chill.
It's about being stupid on the strand.
Well, I see them as kind of scary
because they come riding past you so fast
when you're just walking along.
- Yeah.
- Right.
If you sign that, you can't say
things like that anymore.
Oh, okay. [chuckles]
Thanks. Now for the rest of your life,
you can never utter another bad word
about e-scooters or those who ride them.
Okay.
- Do you want my email?
- Yes, please.
I'm all about ripping, but not at the cost
of some fucking kid on his bike
or some lady walking her dog.
If we could get you on a scooter
right now, would you be down to try?
- Possibly.
- Dude, let's do it.
[upbeat music playing]
- [JT] Go, baby!
- [Chad] Let's do it!
[JT] Learn to love it!
He looks stoked.
Dude, he looks good. Look at him go!
[chuckling]
- [Chad] Dude, he's touching some crete.
- [JT] One-footer!
- Let's go
- Not gonna lie, feels good.
- Yeah, dude! Did you like it?
- You loved it.
[Strider] You could say Chad and JT are
They're activists. What does that mean?
They're spreading stoke.
These guys are built to create change.
[man] You can tell they're great guys.
I just met them
and walked up and asked for a selfie.
You know, nice as can be,
and I love their energy.
- Hey, move over here!
- [Chad] Hey, guys.
You should post up
and watch our dance. It'll be sick.
- It's for a charitable cause.
- Wanna watch our dance to save the coral?
JT and Chad's activism, I describe it as
things that actually are really good
for humanity, like saving
the coral reef as well as
parties.
Why not? We need to have more fun in life.
[dance music playing]
Most of what Chad and JT do
is completely moronic,
but they're trying really hard.
It's admirable how hard they're trying.
Oh!
[Chad] Thank you! [cheers] Thank you!
You guys are inspiring me
and a lot of people.
- [JT] Hell yeah.
- Thank you.
[JT] Thank you for saying that.
It's really nice.
Chad's probably the hottest in our squad.
His hair is beautiful.
He's the best surfer out of the group.
JT is probably
the smartest dude I've ever met.
I've never seen anyone excel
at vacation activities like JT does.
[shutter clicking]
They're two of the best bros
and will have your back, no matter what.
I first heard about Chad and J
when I saw their video of them
at the city council
fighting against parties
being banned in the Hollywood Hills.
Last week I heard the gut-wrenching news
you've passed a bill
banning house parties.
I won't lie to you, Council.
I'm not stoked.
[reporter] What makes it a party ban,
rather than a party restriction?
[JT] I think that's pure semantics.
The reality is,
they're trying to steal the fun
from these wonderful people.
I'm not surprised they became so famous.
It feels like
everybody can connect with them.
They fight for the things that will bring
more stoke to the community.
It's gotta be the chillest,
most down-to-earth bros on the planet.
I don't know who Chad and JT are.
They were running,
gunning, and drilling it.
[Chad] Bring e-scooters to the Olympics!
[Strider] Straight up raising awareness
everywhere they went. It was epic, dude.
They were on top of the world. And then,
they try, uh, to do this thing
to save the boarders.
And that was basically a U-turn for them.
[seagulls cooing]
What's up, dudes?
We're here today to fight for a cause
that's near and dear to our hearts,
the safety and freedom of skateboarders.
For far too long in society,
skateboarders have been oppressed.
It's still illegal
in parts of southern California,
with cops handing out tickets
and security guards being aggro.
That's why we'll set up a booth in
Huntington Beach to fight for the cause.
Come out, support us, and let's go!
- [Chad] Hey, dude.
- [JT] Hey, what's up, sir?
- [Chad] You down to protect our boarders?
- [JT] Do you want to protect our boarders?
I do, but I'm in a hurry.
Do you guys wanna protect our boarders?
[man] Yeah, I do. I
- [JT] Can we get you to sign our petition?
- I can do that.
Yeah, it's a huge issue.
[man] Yeah, I'm all about closing them.
We want a system
where there's, like, no citations,
no people getting booted. It's fully legal
and secure for the boarders.
Really, the bottom line with borders is,
it's just like your house.
You'd rather people come in through
the front door than jump over the fence.
If we had an immigration system
where we started letting people in,
you know, do it legally.
- What?
- [man] Yes.
- Whatever.
- Yeah.
- What was he talking about?
- I don't know, dude.
- I'm stoked he's fired up by the cause.
- Yeah, dude, we got that signature.
I'm from up north. I'm from Massachusetts.
We're so far from the border. It's only
something you hear on the news.
So there are no boarders in Massachusetts?
No.
- [JT] Whoa. That's crazy.
- [Chad] Whoa.
- The city doesn't allow it?
- What do you mean?
If you try to skate in Massachusetts,
they kick you out?
When I was 18,
I was in Tijuana every weekend.
- Nice.
- That place is disgusting, you know?
They were treating people wrong.
Even Mexican children.
They were treating people wrong.
I didn't like that.
They were skating
where they weren't supposed to?
I guess so. If you wanna put it that way.
- Oh, okay.
- Right.
We all skated where we weren't supposed to
at some point.
If you work and pay taxes
to support everything
I don't know what we're talking about.
- [Chad] It was
- Keeping borders safe.
Right. We're on the same page then. Sweet.
- [JT] My dude! You believe in the cause!
- [Chad] Dude!
- Protect our boarders, baby!
- Let's go!
- [JT] What a legend!
- Had me making a U-turn.
Haven't seen anyone in gear.
Why do you believe
in protecting our boarders?
There's a lot of shitbags over there
that don't need to be over here.
They come at you, sideways and cross-eyed
like they wanna start a gang thing on you.
We've seen that. You can be shredding,
and they'll roll up on you like,
"Get out of here."
You're like, "What's with the attitude?"
Can we get a selfie with you?
- Sure.
- Hell yeah.
Let me
- Whoa!
- Nice, dude.
- My board.
- All right. Here we go.
- Dude, so
- Get in here, dog.
[shutter clicking]
- Got it, dude.
- My nickname's Iggy.
[Chad] Iggy, what up? So stoked
you wanna protect the boarders.
I do. They bring them to our country.
We give them everything
in medical business. Everything!
Twenty-two percent loans and shit,
you know on interest rates and shit.
They get 0% interest rates.
- Whoa. Thanks, man.
- Catch you here later.
What a diverse range
of views on skateboarders.
For sure.
[Strider] Chad and JT posted that image
with the wrong spelling of boarders.
I don't think they knew anything
what they were talking about with that.
But life continued as usual for them,
at least for a bit.
Uh, what up, Council?
My name's Chad Kroeger.
I'm here to promote
an amazing, new, holistic practice.
It's something I accidentally discovered
at my first Weenie Roast.
During The Lumineers' set,
I passed out face down, nude,
and spread-eagle in the sun.
And soon thereafter, security woke me up.
And I was surprised at how lucid I was.
I was expecting to be sloshed.
Here's the thing.
I wasn't.
I didn't realize
where this mysterious boost came from
until my health guru Troy, from Venice,
showed me something
called perineum sunning.
Perineum sunning
is where you allow direct sunlight
to penetrate your bare sphincter
for 30 seconds or more.
- Dr. Drew says that the sun is a massive
- [man] Mayor. Mayor. Mayor.
The public speaker is allowed
to speak about something
that's within the jurisdiction
of the City of Irvine,
but this subject matter is not.
This is a holistic practice
that'll radically change everyone's lives.
Point of order.
Please allow my colleague to expand,
and thank you.
[JT] What up, Council?
The most difficult thing
about perineum sunning
is there's no space
where we're allowed to practice it.
We can't at my mom's house because
it weirds out her boyfriend Greg,
who is a legend.
And we're not allowed
to do it at the parks,
so to your interjection that
this isn't within the city's jurisdiction,
we will ask that the city
create a space for this health practice.
If it's cool with you, Council,
I'd love to have my friend
and colleague, Chad Kroeger,
demonstrate the position
for perineum sunning.
If you can redirect
your attention towards the stairs.
[audience laughs]
Thank you, Chad.
And thank you, Council. We look forward
to you guys putting this into action.
- [Chad] Is this it?
- [JT] I think so.
The gate's ajar.
No, dude. It's a gate.
Dude, I wonder what big news
Zedd has to tell us.
[JT] Maybe he just wants
to show us his new place.
Whoa.
- [Chad] It's huge.
- [JT] Big-ass door.
[knocking]
[Zedd] Coming.
[JT] What's up, dude?
- My dog.
- Bring it in.
- Who's first?
- [Chad] JT, you go first.
- How are you?
- [Chad] What's up?
[Zedd] Welcome to the new crib.
- [Chad] Dude!
- [JT] Dude!
[Zedd] Where do we even start?
- Uh, bathroom.
- [Chad] Dude, nice.
- Giant tree.
- [JT] Have you climbed that yet?
- [Zedd] Not yet.
- [Chad] Dude, are these succulents?
Yeah.
- There is fish in there.
- [JT] Do you have a shark?
There is a light in there,
but I have no idea how to use it.
- So many spots to party. All ideal.
- Yes, absolutely.
Speaking of party, by the way.
I don't know what your plans are, but
I'd love to have you guys
in Vegas with me.
If you guys would be down
to give a speech on stage
about your activism.
I have a residency there.
[upbeat music playing]
[cheering]
- For real?
- [Zedd] If you guys are down.
- Yeah, we're down.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- [both] Yeah.
- Dude.
- Thank you.
[Zedd] We have to spread the love.
- Yeah.
- [Zedd] My dog.
The Vegas show is about 3,500 people-ish.
I'm envisioning playing a song,
slowing it down,
volume off, and I invite them
on stage, and they jump up on the booth.
And they just give us a speech,
you know, raise awareness.
I mean, your activism is I live for it.
I've always lived for it.
That's how we met.
[JT] I know.
Vegas is the perfect platform
of people from all around the world,
coming to one place
to spread a message that
then goes back internationally back home.
That's the perfect place to do it.
I also want them because they're friends,
and I love being around friends.
So, dude, um
We're gonna do
perineum sunning if you're down.
[Zedd] What's that?
With your permission,
we'd love to do it here.
It's where you sun your butthole.
It boosts stoke.
I might sit this one out.
You can do it if you want to.
- Really? I mean
- Be my guest.
- This spot would be perfect.
- Yeah.
[speaking indistinctly]
[soft guitar playing]
[Chad] Whoa, this is long.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
- [Chad] All right.
- [JT] You ready?
- [Chad] We're losing light.
- [JT] Uno, dos, tres!
[laughing]
I didn't know that that's how that works.
[JT] Wow, that's great.
I'm so glad this is happening right now.
- [JT] Thanks, Zedd!
- [Chad] Thank you, dude!
[Zedd] Oh, this is just beautiful.
When Zedd invited Chad and J
to do a speech in Vegas,
it was huge for them
because it was everything they stand for.
Problem was the borders image
was starting to spread.
Their fans didn't take it well,
but the guys were so busy spreading stoke,
they didn't know a storm
was headed their way.
We're out here today to raise
more money for the coral reefs.
We've organized a Hollywood bus tour.
We're gonna take some
of the most curious cinephiles in LA
and show them where their favorite
movies were made.
If you're into Hollywood,
into movies, cruise!
All right, and we're off. Everybody,
welcome to the Hollywood stoke tour.
We're about to show you guys some
of the most stoke-raising movie locations
in Hollywood.
[clapping]
We'll start it off hot.
Up here on the right,
David Park's apartment
from the fourth Fast and Furious,
"Fast and Furious."
- Which one? This one?
- [Chad] Pretty awesome, right?
This is the big kahuna.
Bob's Food Market. You guys
know it better as Toretto's Market.
It's in Fast and the Furious 1,
where Brian O'Conner
and Mia meet for the first time.
He keeps ordering tuna sandwiches
with the crusts cut off,
which is a cute detail.
So was there any old
Hollywood movie filmed around here?
Old Hollywood? The first Fast and Furious
is 20 years old.
- [Chad] Yeah.
- If you say so.
[JT] This is big-time.
Dominic Toretto's house.
Hell yeah. You guys fired up?
Look at that.
That's probably
the most famous house in all of LA.
Is this all Fast and Furious?
Oh, we can try to mix it up.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
[JT] What are you looking for?
- Uh
- Don't even ask.
Something a little more
sort of glamorous, historic.
- Yeah, like classic
- Like James Dean.
- [woman 1] The Hollywood
- Who's James Dean?
Did you just ask who James Dean was?
[phone dings]
Oh, dude.
Why are they on their phone?
[somber music playing]
[Strider] Somehow the
"protect our borders" image got picked up
by the mainstream media.
That's when it blew up.
When you guys hear the phrase
"Protect our borders," what does that, uh
like, make you think of?
Are are you serious?
Like, protect our borders?
What does it mean to you?
We took a photo of someone
with "protect our borders" shirts.
We thought it meant
protecting skateboarders,
and then we posted it on our IG,
and now we're getting like
- [woman 1] Backlash?
- Yeah.
You're supporting
keeping immigrants from crossing over.
Is immigration, like, a big issue?
- Haven't you seen the news?
- My gosh.
You heard about BLM, right?
Black lives matter.
- Is that a skate company?
- I don't know why we're still trying.
Are you being canceled?
Is that what the posts say?
- That's what they're tweeting.
- [woman 2] Really?
That's not good.
It means you won't be popular
on Instagram anymore.
This is where Johnny Tran's cousin Lance
falls off his dirt bike. Pretty sick.
[JT] That's from the first
Fast and Furious.
I'm more worried
about you not being educated
about things that are
going on in our country.
[man] What happened now?
[phone chimes]
We're sorry. We're probably
gonna have to stop for a second
so we can call Zedd.
Wait, wait, wait. Where does the tour end?
- Uh
- Neptune's Net in Malibu.
- We're going to Malibu?
- Malibu?
This is Vermont Avenue and Franklin?
You guys hang tight,
and we're going to have you back
where we said we'd have you
at the time we said.
- [woman 1] That's passed.
- That's passed already.
[JT] Okay, well, as close as we can.
[woman 1] There's no way
you can be that uneducated.
I think they were high.
- Did you guys see my vape?
- No.
All good.
I think I'm actually traumatized.
After a while, I didn't have the energy
to talk back to them. They were so stupid.
- [JT] Zedd. It's Chad and JT.
- [Chad] Hey, Zedd.
We got your message.
And, uh, just give us a call back, dude.
Uh, I think
there's a big misunderstanding.
There's a lot of misinformation
out there that I think is being, uh
That's misrepresenting me and Chad.
Just give us a call back and, uh
- Yeah.
- Love love you.
Hey, we're giving a tour right now.
Guys, you wanna leave
a voicemail for Zedd?
[all] No.
All right.
People were mad when they saw that photo.
The Internet's wacky right now.
Make one mistake like that,
and you're done.
It's amazing how people
can turn against you so fast.
Oh, you're done.
[Strider] That night
things got worse and worse.
News of the border spread like wildfire.
By the next day, the guys had lost
half their freaking fan base.
