Tobias meets Carl Weathers on an air porter destined for LAX. Tobias once traveled to San Francisco to attend Carl Weathers' stage-fighting workshop. The actor failed to show because, as he informed Tobias, he was bumped from the flight. However, he discovered that they pay $300 to people that are inconvenienced in this manner. Carl Weathers called this "a crazy loophole in the system that the wrong guy discovered." Ever since then, Carl Weathers has been getting himself deliberately bumped from flights and subsequently cashing in.

Carl Weathers does not enjoy paying very much for anything. He's obsessed with thrift and assembling stew out of makeshift parts. He takes Tobias on as a client and is thereby introduced to the Bluth experience. Lucille uses Carl Weathers to get back at her youngest son, Buster, who has become involved romantically with her chief rival, Lucille Austero. She simply introduces Carl Weathers to Lucille A. and suggests that they should have dinner together with Buster. Buster, however, reminds his Mother that he has class that day. Lucille suggests that Carl Weathers and Lucille A. would just have to dine alone, in that case. When Buster finally decides to move in with Lucille A, he discovers her and Carl Weathers "getting a stew on" and is greatly disturbed.
