- Max!

- I can feel my hit counter rising.

I'm gonna shove that camera up your ass.

- I'm not here.

- Show's over.

On the dock.

I swear. It was hilarious.

- Yo, Ryan, what up, man?

- My man, Max.

You know I just came to party.

- How's it going? Good.

- Right on.

Hey, this is Jake.

- Ryan McCarthy.

- Jake Tyler.

- It's nice to meet you, man.

- Yeah. You, too.

You're from Ohio, right?

Due west. It's Iowa.

Iowa... Dan Gable,

greatest Olympic wrestler ever.

Yeah. The '72 games.

He never surrendered a point.

Exactly, man! Water.

Nice catch. Excuse me.

So, what do you make of Orlando?

Not really sure, man.

I hear you.

You know, I've lived here my whole life,

still don't know how I feel.

Bro, chicks wearing bikinis year round.

What's not to know?

Little man's got a point.

It can't get much better than this.

- Unbelievable!

- Yeah, but this ain't it.

- This ain't what?

- All this American Pie bullshit.

No. The real action is lakeside.

Force times mass equals acceleration.

Fight night!

Anyone who wants to fight gets a shot.

Girl on girl.

A little black on brown.

And my personal favorite,

battle of the exes.

Yo, crazy b*tch.

So, what do you think?

This is insane.

- Got anything like this back at home?

- Not even close. Who's in charge?

We are.

So? You ready?

Ready for what?

The main event.

That would be me and you.

Get the hell out of here, man.

I'm not fighting.

I kind of think you are.

Hey, this is it, fight fans!

Ryan "The Terror" McCarthy

versus Jake "The Gridiron" Tyler.

Yeah!

- Hold on, man.

- Hey, look, if you wanna be the best,

you gotta take out the best.

I don't wanna be the best.

We all saw that video, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

That stuff was tight, man.

Sincerely, okay? One right hook

and the dude was stone.

Hey, Ry, I don't think Iowa's into it.

Well, we gotta give the people

what they want.

You guys ready to see something?

Yeah!

- You?

- Yeah!

I don't want to fight you, man.

I don't want to fight anyone.

You don't wanna fight?

Then what the hell are you doing here?

Then what are you doing here?

He's getting cold feet.

Oh?

This is awkward.

You two have a good night.

Ryan, he's...

Where the hell are you going?

Hold up! Hold up, hold up.

I saw the clip, and you can bang, dude.

You know what they say about the Internet.

Yes, we do.

So none of that stuff is true, then?

Not even that part about your dad

wrapping his drunk ass around that tree?

You know, I can't figure out, though,

is what... What were you doing

in the passenger seat?

Why didn't you just drive?

Wow, talk about dropping the ball there.

Get off of me!

Guess some of that stuff
