[feel good music playing]
[sighs]
[Hailey] Look, before you call me a party pooper,
what you don't know is it's Uncle birthday season, and I'm wiped.
It's a different party every day for a week,
and my uncles are so extra when it comes to their themes.
Ugh! Don't you dare put those petri dishes in here.
And why are you so glum? You're at a party!
One where you can conveniently complete list item number ninety-two,
"Let Dad Win at Bowling."
Ugh! I finally have an uncle event that's exactly my speed,
but I have to purposely lose!
Things could be worse, you could be that guy.
Hey, you can't hold those pizzas like that!
- Um... - I'm not giving you a tip!
Beta, losing to my dad in a game of bowling
won't be as simple as you think.
Not to brag, but I'm gonna brag, I'm a good bowler.
Good? You're great!
That's why we call you The Hammer!
I do nail... it every game!
Like a hammer.
Actually, why aren't I called The Nail?
No, The Hammer is better.
My dad, on the other hand, is...
[gasps]
Terrible! Absolutely hopeless!
He stinks up the place!
I was gonna be nicer about it, but yeah, he does.
And he really beats himself up when he loses,
that's why I put this on my list.
I just wanna give him a win.
Hailey, I hope you brought your game face,
because I've been practicing mine!
[growls, sneezes]
My game face was the first part, not the sneeze.
But, hey, I've been improving!
Don't wanna brag, but I'm gonna brag,
I doubled my personal best and rolled an eighty-two last time.
Whoa! Way to go, Dad!
I can lose to an eighty-two,
just throw in a few gutter balls and list item accomplished.
Okay, put 'em up, Darlene!
[Kai] See? What'd I tell ya?
Lane bumpers?
So that's how he's been improving.
How are you gonna lose to him if you can't throw gutter balls?
I don't know.
Somehow I have to become good at being bad.
I'll find you a foam ball, or maybe a ping pong ball.
You won't knock anything down with those.
They don't allow those on the lanes, Beta.
But never mind, you're already gone.
[♪ upbeat music plays]
[gasps]
What is this glowing beacon of delight?
Seven different hair options, neck enhancements! Oh, my!
Just try a granny roll.
Ah! I forgot how good grannies can be at bowling!
Go Granny! Go Granny! It's Marty's birthday!
Looks like we've got ourselves a game! Whoa-ho!
Ooh! Get your head in the game, man!
[♪ upbeat music plays]
Ohh!
Whoo-hoo!
Ohh!
You almost had me there, Dad!
What? No, he didn't!
You won by a hundred and thirty points!
- Shh! - [loud bang]
- Was that a-- - Time glitch!
Hey, Dad, uh, rematch?
I need a drink.
[slurps]
I'm just too good!
I need to get bad, and quick.
It's almost like you need anti-skill.
You need to become a total black hole of talent.
How do I learn to do that?
I think I know just the person you should talk to.
May I present, Darryl.
Everything he touches becomes a disaster.
You just need to figure out his losing formula
and apply it to your bowling game.
Darryl, show us what you can do with this ball.
[♪ disco music plays]
Don't dance with it, Darryl! Bowl with it!
Huh, yikes! I sound just like my mom!
He's horrible!
Show me your ways.
[♪ mysterious music plays]
I'm, uh, going this way.

Attention, bowlers.
The bowling alley will be closing in five minutes.
Please make this the last game of the night.
[crowd boos]
What do you think?
[Scott] Hmm, slouch forward, chin down, shoulders saggy.
Now, how bad do you want it?
- Not at all. - [Darryl] Perfect.
You're ready... to get in my mouth.
Ah.
Yeah! Ah.
[♪ whimsical music plays]
It worked! Darryl, did you see how bad that was?
Ah.
Yeah! Ah.
Yeah!
[lively music plays]
Yee-hoo! This is my game!
Who's wasting 800 bucks on instructional tapes now, Patricia?
- Mm. - Yeah, Dad!
- You're really on fire! - [laughs]
I gotta go tell the guys.
Wah!
[Chaos Bot] Chaos!
Scott!
I just tried it for a second!
No, there's a chaos bot,
it's messing with my game!
[Beta] I got this.
[heroic rock music plays]
- Beta? - You've been lifting, bro!
Hailey, you handle the bowling, I'll take care of this bot.
Swole patrol coming through!
[action music plays]
You want a piece of this, bro?
Oh, you're gonna pay for that!
Come back here, you coward!
Oh, man, now it looks like I skipped leg day.
♪ Happy birthday, dear Marty ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪
Ha!
[screams]
Oh, my sweet hawk!
But I can beat you with just one hand.
Okay, maybe not.
Looks like the last frame, Hailey.
You just need four pins to win.
So, how do I approach this?
Well, I like to go cake first then frosting.
Oh, you meant the bowling. Yeah, I don't know.
Okay, I just need to get a three or less.
Uh! This beefy body is holding me back.
Whoa! Oh!
[struggling] Oh, uh! Ugh!
To survive a war you gotta become war.
[screams]
One pin! Yes!
[scoreboard chimes]
That was truly pathetic.
Live for nothing or die for something.
Your call.
Ah!
Uh-oh.
Ah!
[Chaos Bot] Chaos!
Oh, yeah!
[heroic rock music plays]
Beta, you're back to normal!
Yeah, I didn't need all those
so-called enhancements.
At least you got to keep that absolute dumptruck
of a butt!
Goodnight, sweet prince!
Okay, this is my last roll, and I need to hit zero pins.
How am I supposed to do that?
[digital beeping and buzzing]
According to my calculations, there's only one possible move
to avoid striking any pins.
The serpent's curve?
That shot's impossible...
if your name isn't The Hammer.
That's me. My nickname's The Hammer, remember?
Will you just roll?
Last roll, Hailey,
let's see what you've got.
[electronic music plays]
[slowed] Ahh!
♪ You can lose it Whoa, oh, oh ♪
- Whoo hoo! - Whoo hoo! Yeah! [laughs]
Ah, shucks! Guess you beat me, Dad!
Ah, man, I am rip-roaring upset!
I would say "good game" but...
I think you lost on purpose.
What? I--
[sighs] Okay, I did.
I just... I really wanted to see you win one, Dad.
What are you talking about?
I beat Darryl all the time!
Uh... ha!
But you shouldn't diminish your talents for me.
[speaking Hawaiian]
The taro is good because of its offshoots.
I'm the taro; you, you're my offshoot.
Yeah, I, I get it.
Point is, if you're good, I'm good.
- I love you, Dad! - I love you too.
This is exactly what we needed.
So, Hailey, you up for one more game?
Darlene seems pretty preoccupied.
[rock music plays]
Yes! Rematch! You sure I shouldn't hold back this time?
Give it all you've got, Hammer.
