On Christmas, Robert and Nancy announce they are getting divorced, upsetting Brennan and Dale. Robert is furious and conjures up an argument and insults Brennan, prompting Brennan to berate Robert as Nancy attempts to calm him down. The presentation backfires when the video shows the boat crashing, shattering Robert and Nancy's sailing dreams. They present their first music video, "Boats 'N Hoes", which they filmed on Robert's boat, at Derek's birthday party.
Brennan becomes attracted to his therapist, Denise.ĭale and Brennan start an entertainment company, "Prestige Worldwide".

Brennan and Dale discover their shared interests and develop a brotherly friendship. Brennan is awed that Dale stood up to Derek, while Derek's wife Alice finds Dale's courage attractive, and begins a sexual affair with him. When Brennan's younger and more successful brother Derek, a helicopter leasing agent, comes to visit with his family, he openly ridicules them for their lack of ambition, enticing Dale to punch him in the face. They are grounded with no television for a week following the incident and told they must find jobs within a month, or they will be evicted. He is confronted by Dale, and the argument erupts into a violent brawl between the two. Dale warns Brennan not to touch his drum set, which Brennan later does (with his testicles) anyway.
