00:07:52,317 --> 00:07:55,552
- I know we picked up some real heat.
- Eh, more like lukewarm heat.

158
00:07:55,554 --> 00:07:57,190
You're still ten points behind.

159
00:07:57,672 --> 00:08:01,353
How? Dude, we've done
so much walking door-to-door,

160
00:08:01,378 --> 00:08:02,642
I had to Google what corns are

161
00:08:02,644 --> 00:08:05,595
to see if that's what I got
growing on my feet. It is.

162
00:08:05,597 --> 00:08:07,597
- What else can we do?
- Get some more comfortable shoes.

163
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:09,482
We've got a full day of pounding
the pavement ahead of us.

164
00:08:09,484 --> 00:08:11,249
- Mm.
- Oh, uh, also, don't forget

165
00:08:11,274 --> 00:08:13,456
that we've got the Business
Association breakfast

166
00:08:13,481 --> 00:08:15,276
- at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
- Right.

167
00:08:15,886 --> 00:08:17,815
Guess I'll be staying here again.

168
00:08:18,909 --> 00:08:20,387
You want to call Beth
and tell her for me?

169
00:08:20,411 --> 00:08:22,862
I'm sorry, dude. I warned you
this would be rough.

170
00:08:22,864 --> 00:08:23,925
Yeah.

171
00:08:36,089 --> 00:08:37,293
YOUNG RANDALL: It scares me.

172
00:08:37,737 --> 00:08:39,355
The idea of, you know...

173
00:08:39,965 --> 00:08:41,589
doing something big with my life.

174
00:08:43,761 --> 00:08:45,628
You know what I get like
when I get focused.

175
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,761
Oh, it's like...

176
00:08:49,331 --> 00:08:51,284
it's like I can't see anything else.

177
00:08:54,112 --> 00:08:56,792
And I look at you and Mom
and, you know, and our family.

178
00:08:58,685 --> 00:09:00,339
And I-I want that, too.

179
00:09:02,222 --> 00:09:03,653
You know, Randall, you...

180
00:09:03,655 --> 00:09:06,456
you might be the only
17-year-old on the planet

181
00:09:06,458 --> 00:09:09,325
who's actually worrying

182
00:09:09,327 --> 00:09:11,327
about balancing their future career

183
00:09:11,808 --> 00:09:13,630
with their future wife and kids.

184
00:09:13,725 --> 00:09:14,901
(CHUCKLES)

185
00:09:14,931 --> 00:09:16,565
I-I like to plan ahead.

186
00:09:25,487 --> 00:09:27,870
- Well, are we rich?
- (CHUCKLES): These kids

187
00:09:27,895 --> 00:09:29,861
at my college,
they went crazy for our stuff.

188
00:09:29,886 --> 00:09:31,253
Yeah, well, we're so old to them,

189
00:09:31,278 --> 00:09:33,245
our stuff is considered vintage.

190
00:09:33,422 --> 00:09:35,355
- (CHUCKLES)
- Uh, uh...

191
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,737
Uh, where, uh, where's the, uh...

192
00:09:37,739 --> 00:09:39,722
where's the box
that I tucked under the counter?

193
00:09:39,747 --> 00:09:41,124
I-I don't know. I think I sold it.

194
00:09:41,270 --> 00:09:45,347
No. No, it was marked, uh...
it was marked "DNS."

195
00:09:45,447 --> 00:09:47,664
Yeah, it was donations.
Yeah, I-I sold it.

196
00:09:47,666 --> 00:09:49,214
One less trip to the Goodwill.

197
00:09:50,456 --> 00:09:51,584
No, the...

198
00:09:51,586 --> 00:09:53,536
"DNS" does not stand for "donations."

199
00:09:53,538 --> 00:09:54,921
It stands for "do not sell."

200
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,874
That box was home
to my original complete set

201
00:09:57,876 --> 00:10:00,605
of 1977 Star Wars action figures.

202
00:10:01,386 --> 00:10:02,659
I'm sorry.

203
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,881
- It was an accident, babe.
- You should've asked.

204
00:10:04,883 --> 00:10:07,417
- You should've asked. (EXHALES)
- Wait, but, babe,

205
00:10:07,645 --> 00:10:10,401
- come on, they're just toys.
- Whoa.

206
00:10:10,448 --> 00:10:12,772
Whoa. They are not just toys.

207
00:10:12,774 --> 00:10:15,525
They are action figures, first of all.

208
00:10:15,527 --> 00:10:17,448
Action figures
that have traveled with me

209
00:10:17,473 --> 00:10:19,519
from house to house
after my parents got divorced,

210
00:10:19,544 --> 00:10:22,331
into my college dorm room,
through six L.A. apartments

211
00:10:22,356 --> 00:10:25,535
so that someday I could
hand them down to my kid.

212
00:10:25,537 --> 00:10:26,815
But now...

213
00:10:27,001 --> 00:10:29,034
- Don't.
- Aah!

214
00:10:32,436 --> 00:10:34,103
KEVIN: I'm sorry that we were late.

215
00:10:34,128 --> 00:10:35,394
Ah, man. It's my fault.

216
00:10:35,419 --> 00:10:37,459
I was slow getting out
of my apartment this morning.

217
00:10:37,735 --> 00:10:39,253
Well, actually, it's our apartment.

218
00:10:39,909 --> 00:10:42,081
We, uh... we're living together in sin.

219
00:10:42,970 --> 00:10:44,050
Yeah.

220
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,090
I do show a record
for a Nicholas Pearson.

221
00:10:47,092 --> 00:10:48,136
That's great.

222
00:10:48,161 --> 00:10:50,386
But before
I can give you any information,

223
00:10:50,411 --> 00:10:52,698
I need proof
that you're his next of kin.

224
00:10:52,831 --> 00:10:55,730
How about nephew?
Nephew's a big deal now, right?

225
00:10:55,755 --> 00:10:57,255
Think of Game of Thrones.

226
00:10:57,456 --> 00:10:59,102
Right, Joffrey was next of kin

227
00:10:59,104 --> 00:11:02,019
to the super-handsome, fit,
blonde, uncle guy.

228
00:11:02,044 --> 00:11:04,678
Jamie was never in line for the throne.

229
00:11:04,987 --> 00:11:06,159
Joffrey ascended

230
00:11:06,161 --> 00:11:09,151
after his adoptive father
Robert Baratheon died.

231
00:11:11,456 --> 00:11:13,116
Without documentation,

232
00:11:13,118 --> 00:11:15,511
you're gonna need someone
official to write a letter,

233
00:11:15,536 --> 00:11:17,456
authorizing release of the records.

234
00:11:17,628 --> 00:11:19,756
Could be military personnel,

235
00:11:19,758 --> 00:11:21,674
a historian, a member of Congress.

236
00:11:21,676 --> 00:11:24,940
How about a celebrity that was once
dunk-tanked on The Today Show?

237
00:11:27,550 --> 00:11:28,550
No. Okay.

238
00:11:28,575 --> 00:11:31,112
I might be able to get a letter
from a congressman.

239
00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:32,308
You might?

240
00:11:32,909 --> 00:11:35,019
Yeah, I might have
dated one for a while.

241
00:11:35,254 --> 00:11:36,339
You might have?

242
00:11:37,216 --> 00:11:38,440
Wow.

243
00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:48,365
MAN (ON RADIO): And we're back
with Councilman Sol Brown.

244
00:11:48,367 --> 00:11:49,817
Now I've been seeing
some Randall Pearson signs

245
00:11:49,819 --> 00:11:51,151
all around the neighborhood.

246
00:11:51,153 --> 00:11:52,160
Hell, yeah, you have.

247
00:11:52,185 --> 00:11:53,871
BROWN: I can't say I've noticed that.

248
00:11:53,896 --> 00:11:56,010
I'm just saying,
I haven't seen his family

249
00:11:56,035 --> 00:11:57,808
in church with him
at Reverend Hawley's services.

250
00:11:57,832 --> 00:12:00,494
I'm so lucky to have
my supportive wife Nancy

251
00:12:00,496 --> 00:12:03,046
at my side, helping me stay focused.

252
00:12:03,048 --> 00:12:05,105
Not sure my opponent is as lucky.

253
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,207
- Hey.
- Hey.

254
00:12:19,316 --> 00:12:20,660
Look, I know this is the last thing

255
00:12:20,684 --> 00:12:23,237
you want to hear right now,
but maybe it's time

256
00:12:23,262 --> 00:12:25,519
you and the girls start
showing up to events again.

257
00:12:27,035 --> 00:12:28,041
Really?

258
00:12:28,066 --> 00:12:31,168
Just saying, I'm coming off as
a family man without a family.

259
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:34,661
Do you know what the girls got
for Christmas, Family Man?

260
00:12:34,809 --> 00:12:36,495
I do, 'cause I went out

261
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,416
and bought all their presents
without you.

262
00:12:39,855 --> 00:12:42,252
- I'm really sorry. I...
- And Tess is moody all the time,

263
00:12:42,254 --> 00:12:44,013
I don't even know why.
I don't know if it's 'cause

264
00:12:44,037 --> 00:12:45,513
she's trying
to figure out her sexuality,

265
00:12:45,537 --> 00:12:48,002
or-or because she just
discovered Nirvana on Spotify.

266
00:12:48,027 --> 00:12:50,830
Either way, I'd love
to discuss it with my husband,

267
00:12:50,855 --> 00:12:53,380
but he's off in Philly, glad-handing

268
00:12:53,382 --> 00:12:55,934
for no good reason,
because last I checked,

269
00:12:56,777 --> 00:12:59,803
the polls said you weren't even
close to winning.

270
00:13:00,449 --> 00:13:02,189
Now, are you really mad at me, Beth?

271
00:13:03,105 --> 00:13:04,274
Or are you mad that I got something

272
00:13:04,276 --> 00:13:06,276
that I care about right now
and you don't?

273
00:13:06,668 --> 00:13:07,793
'Cause if memory serves,

274
00:13:07,818 --> 00:13:09,897
I played Stay-At-Home Superdad
all last year,

275
00:13:09,899 --> 00:13:11,832
and you did not hear me complaining.

276
00:13:14,309 --> 00:13:15,949
You know what?
I'm gonna walk out of this room

277
00:13:15,973 --> 00:13:17,450
before you say something else
you're gonna regret.

278
00:13:17,474 --> 00:13:19,051
You do what you got to do.

279
00:13:25,301 --> 00:13:27,582
KEVIN: Congressman, thank you
so much for meeting with us.

280
00:13:27,607 --> 00:13:28,889
I appreciate it. You know, my brother,

281
00:13:28,891 --> 00:13:30,621
uh, currently running for city council.

282
00:13:30,646 --> 00:13:32,693
He's going absolutely insane
with the schedule. I can only

283
00:13:32,695 --> 00:13:34,912
- imagine what yours is like.
- Yes, thank you so much

284
00:13:34,914 --> 00:13:36,168
for coming, Andy.

285
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:38,629
I didn't know
you were living in New York now.

286
00:13:38,868 --> 00:13:40,701
Well, it's... it's, uh,
pretty recent, really.

287
00:13:40,703 --> 00:13:42,253
Yeah, pretty recent. Your Bo...
Her boxes just came in

288
00:13:42,255 --> 00:13:44,121
- from Chicago, like, last week.
- Yeah.

289
00:13:44,324 --> 00:13:46,902
So, haven't really had a chance
to even unpack them yet.

290
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,871
(CHUCKLES)

291
00:13:49,027 --> 00:13:50,184
Well, that's great.

292
00:13:51,074 --> 00:13:54,074
So, you said you needed help
with getting some military

293
00:13:54,099 --> 00:13:55,473
- records or something?
- Yes.

294
00:13:55,598 --> 00:13:57,246
Well, we've been on this journey,

295
00:13:57,271 --> 00:14:00,072
literally to Vietnam and back,
looking for Kevin's uncle.

296
00:14:00,606 --> 00:14:03,274
And we heard that with a little push

297
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:05,816
from a member of Congress, we, um...

298
00:14:08,407 --> 00:14:09,707
(CHUCKLES) Oh.

299
00:14:10,590 --> 00:14:12,650
I thought when you said
you desperately needed help,

300
00:14:12,652 --> 00:14:14,496
it was something a little more serious.

301
00:14:15,402 --> 00:14:16,954
- Oh.
- Oh.

302
00:14:16,956 --> 00:14:18,294
Oh, I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to...

303
00:14:18,318 --> 00:14:21,699
No. Sorry. It's fine. I can try
to get the records from the VA.

304
00:14:23,152 --> 00:14:24,941
Maybe I'll just shoot them
a quick e-mail.

305
00:14:24,966 --> 00:14:26,395
That should do the trick, right?

306
00:14:34,496 --> 00:14:35,777
Sorry. I...

307
00:14:36,260 --> 00:14:37,960
I really thought enough time had passed.

308
00:14:39,473 --> 00:14:40,777
Andy...

309
00:14:41,887 --> 00:14:44,765
My office will formulate a
formal request for the records.

310
00:14:44,973 --> 00:14:47,004
Thank you. Appreciate that.

311
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,512
Thank you for your time.

weren't the problem,
