Letting Go

- Hi.
- Hi.
I've very exciting news.
What? I just lined up a very special guest for next Friday's show.
Someone we both love.
Someone who is your personal hero.
Sex machine James brown! An alive personal hero.
- No! - Yes.
- Stevie Nicks? - Stevie Nicks.
Ohh, my God! Oh, my God! - My Goooood! - Aaaah! She is my hero! Ha ha! - Uhh! - Aaah! - Aah! - Julian! I thought this was a hug party.
How does he keep getting in here? I posted his photo at reception.
I brought you something, Ava.
Julian, we don't have time for It's a baby dog.
And a doggy baby.
- Puppy.
- Puppy, mm, yes.
Oh, he's so adorable.
Is he a rescue dog? I don't know what he can do.
I was googling you, looking for inspirational quotes or nipple slips, that sort of thing.
And I came across this picture of you as a child, and you had a dog like this.
Oh, Julian, this is so sweet, but I don't have time to take care of a dog.
Of course not.
We'll take care of him together.
You and me.
I've already named him.
Avian.
A combo of both our names.
Ava and Julian.
She's not falling for this, man.
Obviously this is a very manipulative attempt to spend more time with her.
Isn't that right, "ah-va.
" Ava.
He looks like the lining of my Italian driving slippers.
Oh, to be that dog's beak.
- Mm.
- Oh, my God.
How do I already smell like you? Oh, man you were on fire out there.
Yeah.
Ah, it's a team effort.
Yeah.
I mean, did I score three goals? Yes.
Did we win three-nothing? Affirmative.
Think we got a shot at winning the old-timers league this year.
"Old-timers.
" Why do they call it All that means is that we're over 30.
By that logic, Britney Spears, if she played hockey, would be in our league.
Yeah, and she's no old-timer.
She's a good-timer.
I'm impressed.
Who's Britney Spears? Oh, come on, Todd.
You're killin' me, man! Oh, look out, it's the young'uns from the beer league.
Don't worry, boys.
We left some ice out there for you.
We were watching you light it up out there, dude.
- You still go it.
- Ah, it's a team thing.
Team's still got it, right? Well, we're losing our right winger.
I don't know if you're free, but You kidding me? Yeah, I'm in, bro.
Yeah.
One of the young guns.
I mean, I knew I still had it, but for the young kids to recognize me It's hugely gratifying.
Honey, can you even keep up with these guys? You're not exactly 25 anymore.
Not exactly, but, I mean, it's right behind me.
You pulled a muscle taking off your shirt last night.
It was a brand-new fitted tee.
I didn't want to stretch out the Look, the point is, I'm gonna play.
Will you be careful, please? I mean, you're used to playing with the old-timers, you know? We're not old! Chelsea Clinton would be playing with us.
Chelsea, little Okay.
So man.
Look at her hauling ass.
- Wow.
- Oh, I know She's gonna be walking on her own any day.
Chris, is she wearing slippy socks? I told you a million times, if she's on the Walker, she has to be barefoot or on grippy socks.
Grippy, not slippy.
Baby, she's gonna be fine.
Don't overreact.
I am not overreacting.
Do I need to remind you of the incident at kiddie funtown? - What? - And before you say, "what incident at kiddie funtown," let me remind you, the camera was rolling.
Come on, babe, just let her go down herself.
Yeah! Whoo hoo! Super baby, super baby Hey! Don't you have a wife and kids to get home to? Seriously, dude? Are you seriously gonna mess with me right now? Come on, babe.
He's only six.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you cry.

- Oh.
I apologize for nothing.
Okay? That's how I roll.
- I am the mama bear.
- Okay.
I am the Caroline Manzo The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
All right, my family, we're thick as thieves.
A'ight? We're blood.
Ya mess with me, ya get the claws.
All right.
It's okay.
I'm just upstairs.
So you just go to sleep now.
Sleep.
Come on, little dude.
Great job.
It's time to go to sleep.
I know I'm late.
You take him.
It's his fault I look like this.
See this knot in my hair? I'm gonna have to cut it out.
He was pawing at me all night.
He was looking for a teat.
Listen, uh, Stevie Nicks wants to meet with us before she does the show, and I am going to pitch to her that the two of you do a song together.
What do you think about that? How amazing would that be, right? You two singing together.
And then I don't know, like You guys, like, pull me up on stage, and then we all sing together and stuff.
Like, it's ridiculous, I know.
I mean, why would I be up there? I'm I'm just the producer of the show.
But it would just be so amazing.
It would be so amazing.
But that's silly, right? That's so silly.
It's not silly to have a dream.
I make cat pillows for cats, with cats on them.
- Okay.
- Ooh! Is this a "ladies I'd like to do it with" convention? Uhh.
Julian Take the dog, please.
Of course.
This is how it will be.
Us passing the dog off to one another every few days, our hands touching in the exchange, tantalizingly.
Oh, God, don't make my arm your sex prop.
No I mean take him forever.
I can't have a dog.
Not even part-time.
I don't want the responsibility.
Okay I'll take care of it.
Good-bye, my little friend.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, God, again, I smell like the break room at Armani exchange.
Good to have you aboard, man.
Good to be aboard, dude.
Oh, look.
Hunter's new lady showed up to him on.
Somebody's getting a little chaka-chaka tonight.
Wow.

Some wife chaka.
It's like the best chaka Come on, ref! All right.
Bring it! I did the right thing with Avian, right? I'm not a dog person.
He is much better off.
God, he did the funniest thing last night.
He was having this dream.
He was really running or something.
I don't know what dogs dream about.
Anyway, he was He was doing this thing, you know, with his paws, he was going It was really cute.
I mean, not as cute as I just did it, but It was cute.
What do you think Julian meant when he said, "I'll take care of it"? Oh, I'm sure he just meant he'd return the dog to the place he bought it.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Or he's gonna have the dog put down.
Yeah, it's inflamed, but it won't go away this time.
Yeah, I tried, I put it on.
It didn't okay, mama, I'll call you back.
Ava! What a sexy surprise! Hey Julian, where's Avian? Here.
Look, he's really getting down.
Oh, my God.
I'm paying Dani and Tandalaya to take care of the dog for me and love it.
You can't pay people to love.
You don't know how I met Dani and Tandalaya.
Come on, Avian.
You're coming home with mama.
Let's go.

I know, today I thought Amy got out of the house.
I was shrieking like a son of a bitch.
Language.
He is a son of that.
Sorry.
The vet says his tummy's fine, but I don't know, I just My mommy instincts tell me they're missing something.

Well, I see that you've made walking around the house harder.
That's that's cool.
Yeah, I actually put up baby gates.
I put up doorknob locks.
I put up toilet locks.
You know why? Because we are on lockdown now, lady.
No more running amok.
Oh, sweetie, can you get me a washcloth from the laundry room, please, for her face? A clean one, please? Sure.
You okay? Yeah! No, no, I'm just Just chillin' Like Bob Dylan.
Some wa-wa? Yes.
What? Honey! What about ibs? Is there a doggie version of ibs? Yes, I suppose, but Because I serve on a board with Camille Grammer where we wage war on this disease.
And she and Avian seem to have many of the same symptoms.
You know, a factor in Avian's digestive issues could be emotional, perhaps stemming from anxiety.
Anxiety? From what? Well, sometimes pet owners can transfer their own neuro Oh, no, no, no, no! Mommy's not gonna let anything happen to you.
Seize your animal, madam! This place is awful.
Go, go, go, go.
- Is it gone? - Yeah.
I told you, it's not from the hockey.
I just tripped over that gate, babe.
You know what? We gotta get real here, Chris.
Now, I'm not saying you're old, I'm just saying that this here is not really the posture of a young man.
Our bodies can't do what they used to be able to do.
Yours can't play hockey with 22-year-olds.
Mine can't laugh really hard without peeing a little bit.
That's still happening? This is a new phase of your life, honey.
It's a good thing.
I don't want to move on.
I just want to stay Young.
Inside this gnarled, Yoda body is a Just a Peter Pan, you know? Honey, think about it.
You're peaking as a person right now.
You're wiser.
Usually.
Not right now, but usually.
And you're actually getting better looking.
Which I sort of hate.
Don't deny your new phase.
Embrace it, honey.
It's gonna be great.
I promise you.
And here Leftover pain meds from my c-section.
Merry Christmas.
- Wow.
- Now, I'm gonna be late.
Are you okay to watch Amy? Yeah, I'm on it.
- But you can't move.
- Not an inch.
All right.
I'll take her.
All right.
All right, little lady.
You are going to work with mama.
You know what? You're right, babe.
This is a very good wake-up call.
It's a new phase of Chris.
Day one.
Starts here.
Ohh.
Yeah? It's Tim.
We locked into a game, and we need your killer slap shot.
- I'll be there, bro.
- Ah, great.
Yeah, Missy, what's up? So Ms.
Nicks is getting a little freaked out, or, as you always say, Reagan, "Ava-y.

And I apologize for bringing our little ones.
The babies are beautiful.
I'm glad they're here.
- You are? - So, anyway, Ms.
Nicks, we, um, we are really hoping that you and Ava - would do a duet.
- Mm-hmm.
And then you guys could bring me up onstage Or something.
And I could, like, sing with you.
I'd be so Wouldn't that be crazy? Like, if I just got up there Avian, stop.
I'm so sorry, Ms.
Nicks.
Amy, honey, honey Be good for mama, okay? - Avian, stop.
- This is so unprofessional.
He just doesn't understand.
Shh.

The babies aren't happy.
I think we should put this on hold.
- Oh, we screwed that one up.
- We blew that.
- We screwed the pooch.
- Bad.
All right, girl.
- Hey! - Hey.
I just completely blew it with Stevie Nicks.
- The recording star? - I had to bring Amy, 'cause Chris's back went out.
Oh, I just saw Chris leave with all of his hockey stuff.
Yeah, the stick, pads, a duffel full of gear.
That he made me look like a buffoon, and in front of a rock goddess, so he could play hockey.
She wrote landslide, man! This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
Oh, no, no, no this stinks to high holy hell.
Oh, honey, you gotta take care of business.
I'm taking care of business right now.
- You go, girl! - Okay.
Do you hear that? I think it's a little doggy heart murmur.
Oh, Julian, I don't want to lose him.
Don't worry, Ava.
Dogs live for 50 or 60 years.
Avian and I We're just not working.
All my worrying is giving him ibs, and his ibs is giving me ibs.
It's like a loop.
A poop loop.
I think I'm going to have to let him go.
Because I love him too much.
I'm so sorry, Ava.
I brought this sadness on you.
What? You're not going to hit on me? It hardly seems the time.
Now I know this is bad.
For the first time, you're not being gross to me.
Oh, no, no.
Ava, I can do it.
Here, uh, surrender to me your womanly treasure.
That's very sweet, Julian, but it's too late.
There is no too late.
Except for my club "too late" in Mykonos, which opens so late, it's morning.
I can fix you, Ava.
Come with me.
Nooooo! What? Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Well, sorry that I want to come out here and be a man every once in a while.

- The whole thing about how I'm getting better and wiser and I'm peaking sexually, and I'm - Oh, I didn't say that.
- Your words.
I think maybe you need to let Amy move into the new phase in her life.
I know, it's different, and it's challenging, and it's a little scary, but You know what? It's also pretty amazing.
