He also wears hearing aids, which can lead to unique situations, including confusing interactions with customers, employees easily whispering secrets to each other in his presence, and DJ not hearing fire alarms while everyone is evacuating the store… to name just a few. But these setbacks do not bother DJ. His emphasis on positivity and community sets the tone for the whole store, as he and his team band together to solve the day-to-day challenges of running a small business with ingenuity and an underdog mentality. Brooklyn 99 meets Ted Lasso in One More Time, a show that proves a semi-qualified, hearing-impaired manager can lead a used sporting goods store to the promised land. Rate: ACTRA.
