Chad & JT Go Deep (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

Going Deep

1
Would you like to share
what brings you in this morning?
I guess I'll start.
We work together. We're activists.
We fight for different causes.
And of late, I don't wanna be harsh,
but he hasn't really stepped up.
I just worry about the trajectory.
Where we're going, you know.
I love just being upbeat and stoked and
I know where he's going with this.
My idea was, we shave a line
down the middle of our head
to raise awareness for deforestation.
And yeah, I expected Chad to be there
and back me up and do it as well.
And now we're reinvited to the party.
I have my hair,
and he has his intellectualism.
I just feel like when I speak,
people don't pay attention to the words.
They pay attention to my hair.
Do you see other
positive traits about yourself?
I got tan ankles.
Do you feel second place to his hair?
Yeah.
Do you think it's possible that he could
show some form of sacrifice
without necessarily jumping
on the shaving-head wagon?
I don't like to be an absolutist,
but absolutely not. He's gotta shave it.
Every relationship has
its own kind of social contract, right?
And ours is we push each other
to do things that might be difficult
for the other 'cause we trust
we're looking out for one another.
You know what I mean?
He pushed me to go
to Cancun instead of Cabo
for spring break.
We'd been to Cabo six times.
It was time for a change.
And now we appreciate Cabo more
because we've been to Cancun.
He pushed me into tons
of city council meetings.
And he bailed on me
at our small dong march.
I lead it by myself. I did a good job.
I was nervous, but I crushed it.
And then he shows up late
and just gives a speech without even
talking to me. He didn't consider me once.
I'm seeing a more clearer picture here
of a codependency that's going on.
You guys are best buds, and you have
this pressure of trying to fix the world.
What if you just checked in
with yourself first,
try to not take the other person's mood
so personally. Does that make sense?
So am I allowed to go to Zedd's alone?
- What did that bring up for you?
- He can't do the speech without me.
Do you wanna ask him
what he means when he says that?
What do you mean?
I mean what I said.
I don't think you can do it without me.
He gets nervous.
At the end of the day,
if he doesn't shave the dome,
I'm going solo.
That's a pretty big ultimatum.
I can't help it. When I hear Chad talking
about how much his hair means to him,
you gotta lose that shit.
You're putting guidelines
on how to do our activism,
and you're making me
choose something I don't wanna do
so you can feel
like you have something over me.
- Just
- It's not that. I want you to open up.
- Go to Zedd
- Stop being a prisoner to the stoke.
And embrace who you are,
then the real stoke will come out.
You just tell the council
we're shaving our domes without asking me,
then you tell Zedd. Now you're gonna go
So go give the speech alone.
I'm sure you'll crush it.
- Guys, pause.
- No. Go, go. Just go.
Just
Wow.
Well yeah.
I'm gonna get my credit card info
from my mom real quick, and then I'll
I'll pay for it.
Okay.
- And, uh
- Could you cover for me?
Don't worry about that. It's on the house.
I just I'm sorry.
I wish you well,
and you deserve everything
that's good in the world. I love you.
Love you too.
Best of luck with the speech.
Thanks, man.
Seeing Chad and JT split up,
it was hard, dude.
They were unstoked. You know, Chad,
he was biffing it on waves.
Just taking nosedives.
Never seen that before.
JT was just lifting weights
alone on the beach.
Just staring out at the water.
That kid was sad.
It felt like they were getting a divorce.
Did they have a real reason to break up?
No, they're both doing really stupid shit.
The head shaving wasn't gonna make
a difference in the world.
All good things
have to come to an end, I guess.
I wasn't shocked that JT did go
do the speech alone in Vegas.
When he says he's gonna do something,
JT does something.
The thing that
just wasn't right about it,
it wasn't with Chad.
Yo, Las Vegas!
Yo, listen up, please.
There's a very special person
here tonight.
It's one of my best friends.
I asked him to come here
to tell you guys something.
So please, everybody,
make some noise for JT.
What up, club?
I'm here to talk about
something really important.
There's this place called the Amazon.
Oh, shit.
He biffed it.
He almost, literally almost killed
the energy in the club.
But he saved it with his fire dance moves.
So that
That was sick, but the speech
No.
It felt like the book
had closed on Chad and JT.
What's up, dudes?
So stoked to announce
I am now a spin instructor.
I wanna see you at my class tonight,
6:00 p.m. We're gonna burn some cals.
We're gonna work through it,
and we're gonna get toned as hell.
See you at my class tonight! What up.
Let's hop out of the saddle,
handlebar position three.
Keep your back straight.
Keep that core tight.
Breathe in through the nose,
out through the mouth.
Okay? And back in the saddle.
And back in.
I love to come here and just spin.
Just freaking spin.
The sprints kind of remind me
of a former buddy, JT.
That dude loves to do intervals.
We had a massive falling out,
but let's hop on the hill.
You know, I come in here to work.
To sweat.
To let the beat pulsate through my body.
But most importantly, I come in here
to come to terms
with my crippling loneliness.
Crank that knob up a little bit.
I'm in a pretty effed situation
right now, guys.
Let's keep pushing.
Let's do it!
Give it all you've got.
JT was like We were like boys, you know?
We were on a mission,
and we were gonna get to Zedd's rager.
We were almost there.
We had a small dong march.
And then he unloads some bullcrap on me,
and now we're no more. Let's spin!
Come on!
Anyone else who's feeling something,
bring it out. Let's hear it.
Y'all got something?
Yes, I couldn't fix
my flywheel on the bicycle.
Right.
Keep pedaling. Gonna get off the bike.
Keep it up. Keep pedaling.
I'm just gonna take a T.
Just gonna take a T.
I think we all could relate
with the idea of pain.
- Especially betrayal.
- Yeah.
Anyone can identify with it. I know I can.
Rebecca, keep pedaling.
But looking back over,
I always say it helped me
to be the man that I am today.
It's not about suppressing
your anger or sadness.
It's about letting it out.
A relationship is about
communication, you know?
Ask yourself if this person
is the root of your tree,
or is he just a leaf
that just falls and comes temporarily?
Thank you, guys.
Wow.
- Hello. JT. Pleasure to meet you.
- Yeah.
- How's it going?
- Good.
JT's been out of school for a while,
so whenever I come across
and meet with students like that,
I try to find out what their motivation is
for coming back to college,
'cause it's not an easy thing to do.
- Is there any courses related to that?
- To pro wrestling?
He seems he's committed to this idea
of coming to college, and I think he knows
he's got some things
that might look interesting on paper.
Wait, wait.
You got canceled for being racist?
Yeah.
Okay. What's that about?
So we see a variety of people,
but, uh, he's certainly stand-out.
"Frequently reprimanded for racing cars
with other students in the parking lot."
"And in one instance,
got into a physical altercation
which resulted in suspension."
I haven't bullied in a long time.
Although my friend would counter that
and say I bullied him into this haircut,
but that was for a greater good.
You still graduated. How do you think you
were able to graduate with all this stuff?
My dad being on the board
at the second school
definitely gave me some cover.
Okay. Every school
is not the right fit for everyone.
You know what I mean?
It could be challenging
sitting in a room for an hour,
taking notes.
- All of that
- That sounds brutal.
- Based off my transcripts
- Yeah.
what's the likelihood I get in?
If that was the only thing
I was going off of
- It's probably pretty tough.
- I need this.
Even if we say, "No streaking,"
you'd be good with that?
No streaking?
Yeah. That might be frowned upon.
What are the other things
I gotta stop doing?
- Okay. Parking lot racing.
- I'm ready to let go of that.
Yeah. That's cool. That's good.
So am I in?
- You gotta apply first, like I said.
- Right. Formalities.
- Yeah.
- Understood, but I'll be in there.
When I graduate, I'll make eye contact
with you. It'll be meaningful.
Okay. Good deal.
- Good meeting you.
- Good to meet you. It was a pleasure.
There you go.
Hoo!
Okay, dudes, bad news. I got fired
from my cycling job for "oversharing,"
but the good news is, I'm volunteering
to teach kids to learn how to read.
So if you have any kids, what up?
Let's read!
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Mr. Chad. How are you guys?
- Hi, Mr. Chad.
Thank you for letting me
come in today and read with you guys.
In the movie, we have two main characters,
Brian and Dom.
Dom is played by Vin Diesel.
Brian is played by Paul Walker,
and he has really cool blond hair.
- Just a lot of swag
- Like yours?
- What's that?
- Like yours?
Yeah. Thank you so much. Okay.
The Fast and the Furious,
directed by Rob Cohen.
All right, let's dive in.
"You're the last person
on Earth I thought I'd find here."
"I thought if I somehow
found myself in your good graces,
you might let me keep my car."
"You're on my good side,
but your car stays in my garage."
"You drive like a pro. You a wheelman?"
"Nah."
"Professional car booster?"
"No, never. So what about you?
You ever do time?"
"Three years, San Quentin."
"You'll find me
six feet under before I go back."
Whoa.
That's heavy.
That was really sick. Great job.
Okay, so, Brian and Dom, it becomes clear,
once they get to know each other,
that they're kindred spirits.
What is kindred spirit?
It's two dudes who realize they're, like,
born to be boys.
And they, like, understand
that if they join forces,
they can, like, do anything.
So at the end,
Brian admits to Dom
that he's an undercover cop.
And Dom feels betrayed.
Why does your face look so red?
- My face got red?
- Yeah.
- If Dom asked Brian to shave his head
- Yeah, I'd do that.
- You'd do that?
- Like, the whole thing?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I'd do that.
- You have to do it. No backsies, nothing.
- What?
If Dom was, like, to Brian,
"Either you shave a line
down the middle of your dome
or we're not best friends anymore."
I don't care what I look like.
I just wanna make them happy all the time.
You think it's massively uncool to care
more about your hair than your friend?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
It feels like he or she's, like,
family to me and like
Imagine that you abandoned a friend,
and they had nowhere to go,
and they felt lost.
They didn't know where to go,
and they're waiting for somebody like you
to go and take them back home.
Yeah.
So
- So, um
- All right, you guys can go play.
No! I'm gonna get inside.
Oh, shit.
What beautiful plants
I have in my house ♪
It's such a beautiful day today.
- Hey, hun!
- Hey. Um
I'm looking for JT. Have you seen him?
I I really need to talk to him.
He's not home.
He's going to college.
- College?
- Imagine that.
- He's 33.
- I know!
That's JT to you, honey.
But he told me that he went
to the city council meeting
to say his goodbye speech.
- Right now?
- Right now.
If you hurry, you'll find him there.
All right. Cool. Thank you.
- You're welcome!
- I love the plants too!
- Thanks.
- Bye-bye!
Yeah, my son
and his ideas.
You could feel the energy on that day,
when JT was going to give
his final speech to city council.
JT's mom booked him
a first-class ticket to Florida State.
Chad had no time.
He had no time.
If he was going to get to JT,
it had to be at that city council,
'cause he was gonna get
on that flight right afterwards.
Next up, Mr. JT Parr.
What up, council? I'm JT Parr.
It's with a heavy heart that I hereby
offer my resignation as an activist.
It's been tremendous to work with you.
I've learned so much about
what makes America awesome.
You guys always gave me
my minute-thirty to speak.
You never cut me off,
even when you didn't agree with me,
because you understood
a bro's right to be heard.
But I can't do it anymore.
I can't do it alone.
I miss my dog.
I didn't realize when I asked him
to shave his dome for the Amazon
that I was also doing it because
I was jealous of his sick flow.
Total shmole move on my part,
and I have to take responsibility for it.
That's why I'm going to college
to figure out what I want
to do with my future.
I'm going to Florida State. Go, Noles.
Goodbye.
Later.
What up? Can I speak?
- A public comment.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
We're not taking any more
submissions for public comment.
Oh, crap.
Our final speaker is
Mr. Chad Kroeger.
Huh?
What up, council? My name is Chad Kroeger.
I'm a former activist and stokelord.
Recently, my buddy JT asked me
to do something I swore I'd never do.
Shave my dome.
I thought it was too big of a flex.
So I bailed on him and our friendship.
And during my time of intraspectrum,
I've learned something.
Activism isn't about
sick Vegas ragers,
or having perfect hair,
or helping the environment.
What activism is really about,
is about being there
for your boys and not bailing.
Because without the sanctity of the squad,
there is no activism.
This is for JT.
- Hey, dude.
- What's up, dude?
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you too.
I don't understand.
How did they get my name on the list?
Whenever I come here, I put your name
on the list, just in case you show up.
You son of a bitch.
Moving on to our first agenda item,
the Travel, Trade and Tourism
Committee report.
When Chad stepped up,
had his bro's back, shaved his head
for the rainforest,
it went viral.
For the rainforest.
Bros from all over
started shaving their domes,
filming it, posting it on the Internet.
Doing what Chad and JT set out to do,
raise awareness.
Chad shaved his head. It was great.
He looked like a dumbass just like JT did.
That was, I guess, the final thing
to get them uncanceled.
That was pretty epic.
- What up, fam?
- Let's go!
I got the bags, baby.
The fans came back.
The trust came back.
Strike.
Having the whole squad together
is like the best family reunion ever.
- Dammit!
- Grilled cheeses!
- No way!
- Thanks, mom.
- You're welcome.
- Thanks.
I'm a proud mama of a lot of boys.
Stoke was high.
Everyone was fired up.
It's what life's all about, dude.
We're living the dream.
Did we get enough shots
of me calling them dumbasses?
All right.
Hey, what's up, sir?
Can we get you to sign our petition?
It's a petition to allow people
to talk shit about e-scooters.
We had a falling-out because
we were censoring each other emotionally,
and we learned the value
of open communicash.
You could sign this,
and rip it on e-scooters,
and talk all the shit you want.
- I don't give a fuck about e-scooters.
- Hell, yeah.
Nice, dude.
I gave up on them. I've been hit by cars.
- While on an e-scooter?
- Yeah.
- They don't see you.
- I see you.
All right, thanks.
- I kick them over all the time.
- That's awesome, dude.
I used to take them to the pier
and throw them in the ocean.
Oh, dude.
They said a lot of hurtful things,
but I love it.
You don't have to talk shit on e-scooters.
You can talk shit on anything.
- Fuck Caesar salad! Straight up.
- There it is.
- Let's go!
- None of that shit.
Those are ugly shirts.
You wanna talk shit on anything?
We'd love to hear your opinion.
Um Okay, so, I think Fast and Furious
is a shitty movie.
What?
I'd rather you not say that
about that movie.
I think it's shit. Sorry.
That was some really
great open communicash.
What the fuck's her problem?
