Leaving the kids with Tom's parents, they fly to Los Angeles in the company jet. After experiencing much of Southern California's culture, Tom passes the time shouting insults at the players. After the game, the players decide to pay Tom a visit to set him straight.

At the house, the gangsters and NBA players converge and decide to fight to see who gets to enter the house fist. While Tom is amused by the antics outside, Taylor shows up in the doorway.

Feeling dumb for having similar mistakes in the past, Marty and Taylor make up with Trish asking Taylor to call her when he gets older. The NBA players converge on Tom, with the intent of insulting his mother in payback for insulting Kevin Garnett's mother.
