Yes, Get out of here, Go, The secret's safe, It's about three, Text me when your wheel's up, Jeff, Jeff, Get rid of that, please, All right, Ow, [MUSIC.]
End of the half, Saints down by 32, We're getting a taste of this team without LaDarius Pope, Does the League have a mercy rule? Hey guys, will you get a call from Jake? No, thank you, Is Pope out for the season? Okay, calm down, Is it season-ending? [MUSIC.]
Has anybody seen Jake? No, Note the building is crawling with press, This is a PR nightmare, Okay, we need to control the message, Oh shit, this kid Big Nick already made a Vine, Who cares? He has almost 2 million followers, Henry, anything to do social media wise? No, Nothing, Really? Okay, What's the plan? Is there a plan? Why am I not hearing a goddamn plan? Yes, we are going to go visit LaDarius and show concern, We need to humanize Jake, and it's not going to be easy, We can do this, people, At Matterhorn, we had a crisis point, too, We had a road coder push code on, It's very technical, It was bad, But we stuck with it, and we created the location software used to locate Osama bin Laden, You know what they did when they found him? They shot him in the face, You're welcome, America, Now, let's focus and lead, I will lead, You follow, Jake, I cancelled all my birthday plans to figure out a solution player wise, It's your birthday? Anybody tries to leave this room, you just keep on walking, Cuz you're, I don't have the authority to fire you, but don't leave, There's not much to say LDP, but I am sorry from the bottom of my heart, Man, my biggest fear since I was little was to get run over by a car, Mm, Oh, and white cops, Nah, yeah, I get that, I'm warning you, my mom is tripping, Out for the year, torn ACL, surgery, possible career-ending injury, How did that kid come out of that woman? C-section, I think, Dad, tell her to- This is my baby, This is my life, This is on you, Bernice, he's my baby too, He's my little mocha baby boy! Shut up, He cannot be your baby, He is my baby, Calm down, He's calm, Bernice, can I just talk to you over here? Over here, You're looking good, big fella, Bernice, when we drafted Ladarius, I promised you I would take care of him like my own son, even though I don't have a son, that I know of, But if I did, and the woman kept that son and I knew him, I would treat him great, Just like LaDarius, making him like my son, Are you done babbling like an idiot? I could go on but I won't, I knew that stupid Popemobile was poking a finger at the chest of God, I would never poke God's chest, I was baptized, But Ron is going to be worth 2 billion and, if my baby can't play, that's on you, That's right, You better show up at my house with one of those giant novelty prize checks they give away when some lucky hillbilly wins the Powerball, [MUSIC.]
A few of those checks aren't worth real money you know, Hey, nurse, Is there any way that I can get one of those morphine drippy bags to go? [MUSIC.]
The record for the worst loss in league history was in 1991, Cleveland beat Miami by 68 points, Tonight, we only lost by 67, so there's that, Hell, they're dribbling around out there like a bunch of fifth graders without Bo, I remember the All-Star game when Jordan and I were rookies, I told Isiah to pass to Jordan, Froze his ass out, That was me, What does that have to do with anything? That's a good story, Jordan still hates him, Ladarius averages 24,8 points per game, No way to replace that, I should still be retired, I should be playing golf right now, but no, rich guy wanted me to be GM, This, this sucks, Yeah, anyway, we need a scorer who spaces the floor and can make the corner three, We like Mickey Barnes from Memphis, Barnes? Yes, The only thing he can shoot is people outside a nightclub, He only shot at them, And the motherfucker missed! From three feet away! Yeah, the lay-up of homicides, Hey, that was three years ago, His plus-minus this year was plus six points, and he can defend! Nothing good happens outside a nightclub, Whoa, When Ladarius is out, our shooting percentage goes down 14,2%, Stay at home, bring the trim to you, Okay, what about Billy Crane? Crane? He scores high with us, He's retired, He started a restaurant, Billy's Burgers, Is that his joint? I like that place, Yeah, that's one tasty burger, In his last year, he led the league in assists per 40, and he had a true shooting percentage of 60%, I heard you can get it without the bun, Healthy and delicious, Then it's just a flat slab of meat, I- Guys, guys, would you guys, would you guys please listen? I'm trying to help! Sorry, Asian Moneyball, [MUSIC.]
Jay, Alifi's leg is bad, man, The doctor said some serious doctor-y shit, If I get the GM on board, I can make this work, [MUSIC.]
So, should we remove Ladarius from the promo materials? Todd, he's the freaking A in Sin City Saints, There's a very bad lady coming this way, She is not to be trusted, Say nothing, Hello, everyone, I'm Dusty Hawford, special counsel for the league, And Alan, you know, the big boss, the commish, asked me to fly in from LA, my second least favorite city, to my least favorite city to do damage control for this, how did A-dog put it? Mismanaged carnival of stupidity, He also called it a feces-throwing monkey show, Who is he? I'm her assistant, Wade Leatherby, Okay we've got your Grindr screen name down, What's your real name? [SOUND.]
, I'm Melissa Stanton, head of PR, And this is not Jake's fault, That's sweet, A little crush there? [LAUGH.]
No that's, that's, that's ridiculous, he's, he's my boss, That would be inappropriate, I'm sorry, sweetie, but everything here is Jake's fault, That's what happens when you own a team, He might as well have been driving that clown car himself, You know what's so great about being rich, Dusty? I don't have to listen to bullshit, Meeting adjourned, [MUSIC.]
Okay so we're, are we rescheduling the meeting, Jake? Will there be an email? How did you get-, Article 13 What is that? League bylaws, Oh, please, that's like privacy policies on the internet, Nobody reads them, Owners must avoid unethical conduct, In violation of Article 13, owners can be removed by a two-thirds vote, In short, you can lose the team, Get it now? Oh, so I wouldn't get to see you any more, That's a shame, Although I do like the hair, It works, I'm glad you like it, I supported the change, We-, We told you to get rid of the Popemobile, It's dumb, And the dumbness is endless, We let it slide with a fine when you put a bounty out on the ref, Hit him! No, please, hey, leave me alone! [INAUDIBLE.]
, And the cheerleader situation, Woo-hoo! You get a job, you get a job, you're all hired! And now, for your latest and greatest hit, Ladarius' mom, Allen's office called us and told us that Bernice has already lawyered up, Relax, I went to the hospital and calmed her down, And said what? You didn't admit fault, did you? Of course not, And on behalf of the team and the league, let me just say, it's all our fault, Get your ass back in there and listen to what I have to say, I am gonna turn this into a well-managed carnival of stupidity, All right, we're gonna fix this so I can get out of this petri dish of ass cracks, fanny packs, and heart attacks, Is that so, hot Ray Donovan, and how are you gonna do that? We're gonna put the blame on the mascot and move on, Where is he? Missing, How incompetent are you people? Security didn't grab him? I sent an associate out to look for him, He could be anywhere, Hell, he could be in Fiji by now, [SOUND.]
, Can I see the money please? I really needed this job, I did a slip and fall at a Whole Foods, and my settlement money is almost gone, Show it to me, [SOUND.]
, Oh man, They forgot the little fork for my luxury shellfish, Can you find me a tiny fork and a bottle of water for my plant? [SOUND.]
You know, lobsters are the only animal to exhibit handedness, Mm, that's interesting because I shoot people with my left hand, At the same time, with my right hand, I bash their heads in with a shovel and they never see it coming, Guys, it's gonna be a few, We have an issue with the landing gear, F-, [INAUDIBLE.]
, You see, some lobsters have the crusher claw on the right, and others on the left, This fella here was a southpaw, Or should I say this little lady? Females are always a little softer on the palate, just like in life, am I right? [LAUGH.]
Hey, buddy, Why don't you watch some TV, okay? I wonder how he tastes, You know what? It's fine that he's missing, It makes him look more guilty, It was an accident, You know, I'd hate to ruin his life, He's a grown man who makes a living doing cartwheels in a lion suit, It's not a long journey down to the bottom, Plus he's a total degenerate, Eight arrests, DUI, drugs, prostitution, All pretty standard for Vegas, He was a prostitute, Theft, he stole a belt off a guy at a blackjack table, Did you vet him at all? Todd is HR, Benny the Bull emailed me and said nice things, Benny the Bull, Yeah, Okay, here's what we're gonna do, We're gonna have a press conference, You're gonna reveal him to be an unstable addict with a long arrest record, I'll write the speech, you'll say it, Got it? Got it, Good, The only mistake I've made is being too trusting and giving this habitual substance abuser a chance? I, I don't feel comfortable saying this, What? What is your problem? This guy singlehandedly ruined your season, Maybe I'm just a good guy, There are two types of guys in this world, douchebags and dickheads, Douchebags are douchebags cuz they're overcompensating for massive insecurity, Dickheads are dickheads cuz they're actually just bad people who act poorly with no regard for others, You're a douchebag, not a dickhead, [MUSIC.]
Thanks, The real person at fault here is Andy Logan, an untrustworthy career criminal with a serious meth addiction whose own mother frequently disowns him? You're just brutal, Keep reading, I lay it on thick in the last paragraph, [COUGH.]
There's a Brian here to see you, It's Byron, Sapphire, It's Brian's birthday party, either today or some other day, I'm not sure which, [LAUGH.]
I'm bad with calendars, but would you like me to respond yes to the paperless post? Absolutely, Love that kid, You've got it, Seriously? Yeah, you know, I promised them all a job when I was really high and I'm a, I'm a job creator, Learn the speech, Be sincere, Get a coach if you need one, And, and hey, and I just couldn't make her a cheerleader because she has a lower lumbar problem from working the pole, Man of the year, everybody, Hey, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Yeah, So, so here's what we're thinking, Oh, hey, I wanna bounce something off you, Really? Bounce away, Yeah, you know the mascot that hit Ladarius? That was me, What? Yeah, I made the mascot let me wear the outfit, I wanted to drive the popemobile, and it was so fun until I hit Ladarius, No, No, No, No, I can't, I can't hear this, Now I'm implicated, I'm a people pleaser, Do you know what they do to people pleasers in prison, Jake? Calm down, Adversity is a true test of character, I don't need my character tested, I know that it's weak, Relax, Kevin took care of it, We paid off the mascot to skip town and keep quiet, So are we, are we okay? Dusty wants me to throw this guy under the bus, but I, I think I'm gonna tell the truth and come clean, [MUSIC.]
Lot of people, Get nervous speaking in public? Nervous? I've given multiple Ted talks, Ooh, talking about your own accomplishments, little douchy, Forbes magazine wouldn't vote a douchebag one of the great thinkers of 2014, No, but only a douchebag would use that line to try to pick up women, Well, the women I pick up rarely, if ever, read Forbes, You could have left Forbes off the end of that, So, Okay, it's big boy time, Fix your screwup and let's have it be the last one, That's what I'm gonna do, Good, Do you think you're above all this? What do you mean? I mean, this is Vegas, Weird shit happens, You stay here long enough, it's gonna get you too, Oh, Vegas, Big, bad, scary Vegas, Stick to the script, champ, [MUSIC.]
We all know that Ladarius will be back with us, And, and the real fault here lies with, the fact is we try to vet all of our employees, and sometimes a bad one slips through the cracks, I need to speak from the heart, I ran my company, Matterhorn, with an emphasis on integrity, And in the spirit, In which I have lived my entire life I just want to say that the person who hit Ladarius is, is missing, is missing, The fact is Andy Logan the mascot is on the run, and he had a long list of arrests and prior convictions that he hid from us during the interview process, I knew it, never trust the rich, Well, you picked the wrong king of the jungle to mess with this time, [MUSIC.]
It's ridiculous, How much longer? Calm down, We'll be wheels up in three minutes, Better be, Hurry up, Drugs, gambling, prostitution, certainly not new to Vegas, But are things that I will not stand for, Andy? And you have my word, The money, That the man who did this to Ladarius, the team and the city, Las Vegas, will be sorry, he ever put on that mascot uniform, [MUSIC.]
Thank you, [SOUND.]
, [MUSIC.]
Can we move on? Yeah, let's move on, Get on the table and take your pants off, [SOUND.]
[LAUGH.]
, [MUSIC.]
Hey, can we get a [SOUND.]
woah, I'm gonna drive the Popemobile, [LAUGH.]
, I'm her assistant, [INAUDIBLE.]
, [LAUGH.]
, Are you sure? [LAUGH.]
, It's the first time I said my name [INAUDIBLE.]
, [MUSIC.]
Forbes magazine wouldn't vote a douchebag one of the best dudes ever, [LAUGH.]
[MUSIC.]
The more you run, the more I'm gonna kill you when I get you! And I am gonna get you, you little prick! I am gonna get you! [COUGH.]

Yeah, the lay-up of homicides, Hey, that was three years ago, His plus-minus this year was plus six points, and he can defend! Nothing good happens outside a nightclub, Whoa, When Ladarius is out, our shooting percentage goes down 14,2%, Stay at home, bring the trim to you, Okay, what about Billy Crane? Crane? He scores high with us, He's retired, He started a restaurant, Billy's Burgers, Is that his joint? I like that place, Yeah, that's one tasty burger, In his last year, he led the league in assists per 40, and he had a true shooting percentage of 60%, I heard you can get it without the bun, Healthy and delicious, Then it's just a flat slab of meat, I- Guys, guys, would you guys, would you guys please listen? I'm trying to help! Sorry, Asian Moneyball, [MUSIC.]
Jay, Alifi's leg is bad, man, The doctor said some serious doctor-y shit, If I get the GM on board, I can make this work, [MUSIC.]
So, should we remove Ladarius from the promo materials? Todd, he's the freaking A in Sin City Saints, There's a very bad lady coming this way, She is not to be trusted, Say nothing, Hello, everyone, I'm Dusty Hawford, special counsel for the league, And Alan, you know, the big boss, the commish, asked me to fly in from LA, my second least favorite city, to my least favorite city to do damage control for this, how did A-dog put it? Mismanaged carnival of stupidity, He also called it a feces-throwing monkey show, Who is he? I'm her assistant, Wade Leatherby, Okay we've got your Grindr screen name down, What's your real name? [SOUND.]
, I'm Melissa Stanton, head of PR, And this is not Jake's fault, That's sweet, A little crush there? [LAUGH.]
No that's, that's, that's ridiculous, he's, he's my boss, That would be inappropriate, I'm sorry, sweetie, but everything here is Jake's fault, That's what happens when you own a team, He might as well have been driving that clown car himself, You know what's so great about being rich, Dusty? I don't have to listen to bullshit, Meeting adjourned, [MUSIC.]
Okay so we're, are we rescheduling the meeting, Jake? Will there be an email? How did you get-, Article 13 What is that? League bylaws, Oh, please, that's like privacy policies on the internet, Nobody reads them, Owners must avoid unethical conduct, In violation of Article 13, owners can be removed by a two-thirds vote, In short, you can lose the team, Get it now? Oh, so I wouldn't get to see you any more, That's a shame, Although I do like the hair, It works, I'm glad you like it, I supported the change, We-, We told you to get rid of the Popemobile, It's dumb, And the dumbness is endless, We let it slide with a fine when you put a bounty out on the ref, Hit him! No, please, hey, leave me alone! [INAUDIBLE.]
, And the cheerleader situation, Woo-hoo! You get a job, you get a job, you're all hired! And now, for your latest and greatest hit, Ladarius' mom, Allen's office called us and told us that Bernice has already lawyered up, Relax, I went to the hospital and calmed her down, And said what? You didn't admit fault, did you? Of course not, And on behalf of the team and the league, let me just say, it's all our fault, Get your ass back in there and listen to what I have to say, I am gonna turn this into a well-managed carnival of stupidity, All right, we're gonna fix this so I can get out of this petri dish of ass cracks, fanny packs, and heart attacks, Is that so, hot Ray Donovan, and how are you gonna do that? We're gonna put the blame on the mascot and move on, Where is he? Missing, How incompetent are you people? Security didn't grab him? I sent an associate out to look for him, He could be anywhere, Hell, he could be in Fiji by now, [SOUND.]
, Can I see the money please? I really needed this job, I did a slip and fall at a Whole Foods, and my settlement money is almost gone, Show it to me, [SOUND.]
, Oh man, They forgot the little fork for my luxury shellfish, Can you find me a tiny fork and a bottle of water for my plant? [SOUND.]
You know, lobsters are the only animal to exhibit handedness, Mm, that's interesting because I shoot people with my left hand, At the same time, with my right hand, I bash their heads in with a shovel and they never see it coming, Guys, it's gonna be a few, We have an issue with the landing gear, F-, [INAUDIBLE.]
, You see, some lobsters have the crusher claw on the right, and others on the left, This fella here was a southpaw, Or should I say this little lady? Females are always a little softer on the palate, just like in life, am I right? [LAUGH.]
Hey, buddy, Why don't you watch some TV, okay? I wonder how he tastes, You know what? It's fine that he's missing, It makes him look more guilty, It was an accident, You know, I'd hate to ruin his life, He's a grown man who makes a living doing cartwheels in a lion suit, It's not a long journey down to the bottom, Plus he's a total degenerate, Eight arrests, DUI, drugs, prostitution, All pretty standard for Vegas, He was a prostitute, Theft, he stole a belt off a guy at a blackjack table, Did you vet him at all? Todd is HR, Benny the Bull emailed me and said nice things, Benny the Bull, Yeah, Okay, here's what we're gonna do, We're gonna have a press conference, You're gonna reveal him to be an unstable addict with a long arrest record, I'll write the speech, you'll say it, Got it? Got it, Good, The only mistake I've made is being too trusting and giving this habitual substance abuser a chance? I, I don't feel comfortable saying this, What? What is your problem? This guy singlehandedly ruined your season, Maybe I'm just a good guy, There are two types of guys in this world, douchebags and dickheads, Douchebags are douchebags cuz they're overcompensating for massive insecurity, Dickheads are dickheads cuz they're actually just bad people who act poorly with no regard for others, You're a douchebag, not a dickhead, [MUSIC.]
Thanks, The real person at fault here is Andy Logan, an untrustworthy career criminal with a serious meth addiction whose own mother frequently disowns him? You're just brutal, Keep reading, I lay it on thick in the last paragraph, [COUGH.]
There's a Brian here to see you, It's Byron, Sapphire, It's Brian's birthday party, either today or some other day, I'm not sure which, [LAUGH.]
I'm bad with calendars, but would you like me to respond yes to the paperless post? Absolutely, Love that kid, You've got it, Seriously? Yeah, you know, I promised them all a job when I was really high and I'm a, I'm a job creator, Learn the speech, Be sincere, Get a coach if you need one, And, and hey, and I just couldn't make her a cheerleader because she has a lower lumbar problem from working the pole, Man of the year, everybody, Hey, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Yeah, So, so here's what we're thinking, Oh, hey, I wanna bounce something off you, Really? Bounce away, Yeah, you know the mascot that hit Ladarius? That was me, What? Yeah, I made the mascot let me wear the outfit, I wanted to drive the popemobile, and it was so fun until I hit Ladarius, No, No, No, No, I can't, I can't hear this, Now I'm implicated, I'm a people pleaser, Do you know what they do to people pleasers in prison, Jake? Calm down, Adversity is a true test of character, I don't need my character tested, I know that it's weak, Relax, Kevin took care of it, We paid off the mascot to skip town and keep quiet, So are we, are we okay? Dusty wants me to throw this guy under the bus, but I, I think I'm gonna tell the truth and come clean, [MUSIC.]
Lot of people, Get nervous speaking in public? Nervous? I've given multiple Ted talks, Ooh, talking about your own accomplishments, little douchy, Forbes magazine wouldn't vote a douchebag one of the great thinkers of 2014, No, but only a douchebag would use that line to try to pick up women, Well, the women I pick up rarely, if ever, read Forbes, You could have left Forbes off the end of that, So, Okay, it's big boy time, Fix your screwup and let's have it be the last one, That's what I'm gonna do, Good, Do you think you're above all this? What do you mean? I mean, this is Vegas, Weird shit happens, You stay here long enough, it's gonna get you too, Oh, Vegas, Big, bad, scary Vegas, Stick to the script, champ, [MUSIC.]
We all know that Ladarius will be back with us, And, and the real fault here lies with, the fact is we try to vet all of our employees, and sometimes a bad one slips through the cracks, I need to speak from the heart, I ran my company, Matterhorn, with an emphasis on integrity, And in the spirit, In which I have lived my entire life I just want to say that the person who hit Ladarius is, is missing, is missing, The fact is Andy Logan the mascot is on the run, and he had a long list of arrests and prior convictions that he hid from us during the interview process, I knew it, never trust the rich, Well, you picked the wrong king of the jungle to mess with this time, [MUSIC.]
It's ridiculous, How much longer? Calm down, We'll be wheels up in three minutes, Better be, Hurry up, Drugs, gambling, prostitution, certainly not new to Vegas, But are things that I will not stand for, Andy? And you have my word, The money, That the man who did this to Ladarius, the team and the city, Las Vegas, will be sorry, he ever put on that mascot uniform, [MUSIC.]
Thank you, [SOUND.]
