I already met you at the airport.

No, I don't recall that, friend.

Yeah, I walked right up to you

and asked if you were Dusty.

I'm pretty sure I'd remember

a heavy hitter like yourself.

(SCOFFS)

Well, must have been my mistake.

All right, that was me at the airport.

- Yeah, I know that.

- The truth is,

I saw you before you saw me,

and I'm thinking,

"This is the guy who's raising my kids?"

"And damn it if he doesn't

look like the real deal."

I mean, look at you.

You figured it out, didn't you?

You cracked the code.

(CHUCKLES) I don't know about that.

Don't play that humble game with me.

He is so humble. He's just too humble.

Honey, you got it goin' on.

Everybody says so.

Yeah, I got it goin' way on.

So you can understand

why I panicked at the airport.

- I froze, Brad. I'm sorry.

- It's fine.

Look, these are tricky waters to navigate.

They sure are, man. I mean,

that is insightful.

You know, I thought it was weird Sara

didn't tell me about you before.

I thought, what's she hiding?

And now I know.

A champion.

Hey, Brad! Did you see Dad's motorcycle?

Isn't it cool?

BRAD:
It sure is.

What is that, an Indian?

Yep.

I believe they're manufactured

in Minneapolis.

I've never been, but that's the setting

for The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

And... What's the other... Rhoda.

Which I want to say was a spin-off.

Damn! You really know

your bikes, Brad. You ride?

Uh-huh. Yeah!

- Really?

- BRAD:
Yeah.

I mean, not anymore. I did, you know,

back in college. I had a, um...

I had a Kawa-saki? Kawasaki Nine.

Yeah.

With the fenders and the...

The broil joint. So...

Well, you should get on her, man. Come on!

Take her out, see what she can do.

She's got a lot of power.

Oh, no, no, no.

Yeah, Brad! Brad... Please!

No. Hey, come on, kids. It's time for bed.

It's way past your bedtime.

Let's brush your teeth.

All right, come on, guys,

listen to your mom. Hey, look...

(STUTTERS) I don't want to overstep, but

it would mean the world to me

if I could tuck in our two little blessings.

Yeah. Yeah, sure, of course.

They're your kids. Tuck away.

Oh, thank you for that, Brad.

The King messed up. He messed up bad.

He thought he could just

ride off to slay dragons,

and his Queen would always be

waiting for him.

And then one day the King received word

that his dominion was being ruled over

by some curly-headed Step King

with good credit?

Oh, no!

Well, the King rode hard up on his lands,

and when he arrived,

he did gaze fondly upon the Queen,

remembering their good times together,

for he had known her in her prime,

when she was down for anything,

and I do mean anything.

Psst...

Sounds like your dad's spinning
