Side Hustle

Dad, you're going to be late for your flight.

How much did you pack?

You're only gonna be gone for the weekend.

To be fair, half of this is for Alan Junior!

The other half is to be filled with souvenirs from Gnome Con.

Is Gnome Con even a real thing?

Of course it is!

It's the premiere convention of gnome enthusiasts

for the entire Midwest.

Well, have fun.

-Going to Branson, Missouri, so that won't be a problem.

Presley, with me at Gnome Con

and your mom out of town for work, you're in charge.

Yes!

No way. You can't leave her in charge.

Last time, she made me wear one of those leashes for kids.

And you didn't get lost once.

Come on, Dad.

I'm way more responsible than her.

-It might be true, but your sister is older and taller,

and that's two out of three!

Unbelievable.

Kids, am I right?

I'll be back in two days. Have fun.

Now, kiss your gnome brother good-bye.

Nah.

So, Gnome Con--that's a real thing?

Who cares?

My dad's gone for the weekend, and I'm in charge.

Won't be needing these coasters anymore.

Ooh!

-So what did you want to tell us that's so important?

Oh, nothing.

Just that I have the answer to all of our problems.

Does this involve cheese, 'cause usually you say

the answer to all of our problems is cheese.

I have a brilliant way for us to make money

while doing absolutely no work.

I believe you two have heard of apps.

-Wait. Are we talking about the ones on our phones

or the tiny plates of food?

Either way, you have my full attention.

It's a phone app called Room4U.

They let you rent out rooms in your house,

and that's exactly what we're gonna do.

Does your dad know about this?

Does he know about it? Does he know about it?

You're not answering the question.

Fine. No, he doesn't know about it,

but this is gonna make us a bunch of money.

Oh, great! We're getting close

to paying off my dad's boat.

-Yeah, sure. We can use some of it for the boat thing.

But we can also go to Color me Cobra!

The place where you paint surrounded by snakes?

They call it the happiesssst place in Altoonisburg.

You know, funny story.

It used to be called, Color Me Kitty,

but some cobras got in there and ate all the cats.

Presley, your dad is only gone for the weekend.

I don't think you're gonna have time to post

a listing and book guests.

-Yeah, you're probably right. I didn't think it through.

Oh, well. I guess I should have planned this a week ago.

Oh, wait. I did.

Don Cucco, I've been expecting you.

How you doin'?

Welcome to Presley's place. I'm Presley.

This is my place, and this is my staff.

Yeah. Yeah, this will do nicely.

I need a place to hide out

until some work issues blow over.

What work issues?

There's a water balloon war going on

between the five families of Altoonisburg.

I don't wanna get whacked with a balloon!

I spend a lot of time on my hair.

Well, I have reserved you our finest room.

Please don't hesitate to let us know

if there's any way that we can enhance your stay.

You know, I could go for a milkshake.

-I will have chef Munchy make one for you right away.

And by make one, you mean run to the Mooery,

buy a milkshake, run back and give it to him?

-Exactly. -On it.

Let me show you to your room.

Lex, fetch their bags.

-You said there was going to be absolutely no work.

Fetching is work!

Welcome to the science suite.

What is going on? Get out of my room.

Beat it, kid. This is my room.

He was just leaving.

-Don Cucco and his goon booked the room for the weekend.

What? How could you do that?

It was easy. I used an app called Room4U.

Very user-friendly.

-No. I meant how could you kick me out of my own room

and not even tell me?

I'm literally telling you right now.

Besides, I'm in charge.

I need this money for my boat payment

and maybe a mug at Color me Cobra!

-Why didn't you just rent out the basement or your room?

I can't do that.

Those are places that I hang out.

Here. Your bags are fetched.

Well, where am I supposed to sleep?

I didn't think about that.

-It seems like you didn't think about any of this.

Hey, I'd appreciate some privacy.

Gish, show them the door.

This isn't over. It's my room.

You better not touch my science stuff!

Enjoy your stay.

Hey, Ty. A guest is staying at Presley's,

and I need--oh, my goodness!

What is that?

It makes fancy coffee,

and I learned how to make shapes in the foam.

Check it out.

-Whoa. It's the most beautiful swan I've ever seen!

-It's supposed to be a cow. -It's the most beautiful cow

I've ever seen!

Thanks.

You know what? You can keep that.

Sweet Jumanji!

My sneeze turned your swan cow into Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!

What?

Sweet Jumanji! You're right!

Dog sees Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, too.

I'm Dog.

Whoa, hey. Careful.

The real Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

may be indestructible, but this isn't.

-Well, I got to get a picture with it so I can post it.

The Dog kids are gonna love it.

Something like this could get the Mooery

all kinds of extra buzz.

Hey, I've always wanted to be on the local News.

If we spread the word, maybe it could finally happen.

Hey, didn't you come in here wanting something?

If I did, I don't want it anymore.

Color me Cobra has some good deals

and some huge snakes.

-Look, no one is more excited about painting a flower pot

next to a Cobra than me,

but Fisher is super angry.

Aren't you worried?

I know my brother.

This whole thing is gonna blow over.

Where's my room, dummies?

Tabitha?

I am Bardo.

What are you doing here, Bardo?

I used the Room4U app and made a reservation.

I have a confirmation code, G-X-7--

Hold up.

I didn't book anyone else to stay here.

Well, someone did. My parents grounded me

for the weekend and took away my Wi-Fi.

I can't live like that.

And I'm staying for the weekend

while I remodel my rumpus room.

I don't understand.

-A rumpus room is similar to a game room or a den.

It was made popular in the '70s--

No!

No, I don't understand why everyone is here.

I can help with that.

You didn't set a limit

for the amount of guests who could book the house,

so I posted the listing everywhere.

What?

You wanted people to stay here for the weekend?

Well, that's what you're gonna get.

So you came here to gloat?

No. I came here to check in.

I'm staying in the Presley suite.

-But that's my room. Where am I supposed to sleep?

Hmm. I didn't think about that.

I guess you should have made a reservation.

So the house is fully booked, but you're in luck

because the family camping experience is still available.

Here's your tent. You can set it up in the driveway.

Yay!

Enjoy the great outdoors.

-I've been looking everywhere, and I cannot find the pool.

As I've said many times, there is no pool.

-The listing specifically said there'd be fun in the sun.

I'll tell you what.

I will set up the sprinklers outside,

and you can run through it.

That'll do nicely. I'll go put on my swimwear.

So this turned out to be

a little more work than I thought.

Yeah. I was worried when Fisher booked

all of those extra guests,

but I think we're kind of nailing it.

And we're making way more money.
