﻿1
00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:14,307
- (sighs) I, uh,

2
00:00:17,889 --> 00:00:22,056
we just, like, the worst
weeks of shows, and, um,

3
00:00:25,627 --> 00:00:27,698
I don't know what else to do.

4
00:00:27,698 --> 00:00:31,175
I tried to order our tour
for September and October,

5
00:00:31,175 --> 00:00:32,733
and that's about half filled,

6
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:34,198
but I still have plenty of time to go,

7
00:00:34,198 --> 00:00:36,816
and I'm just worried that I
won't be able to order it.

8
00:00:36,816 --> 00:00:38,504
And even if we order it, then what?

9
00:00:38,504 --> 00:00:39,482
Then we continue on another tour

10
00:00:39,482 --> 00:00:42,230
and other tours, and only this fear

11
00:00:42,230 --> 00:00:44,537
that we will never, 10 years from now,

12
00:00:44,537 --> 00:00:47,037
we will never be one step closer

13
00:00:48,027 --> 00:00:51,518
to where we are now
for, I don't even know.

14
00:00:51,518 --> 00:00:52,985
I don't even know what success looks like,

15
00:00:52,985 --> 00:00:54,241
like, if it is a recording contract

16
00:00:54,241 --> 00:00:56,838
or can only play for more people.

17
00:00:56,838 --> 00:01:00,583
Feel like I'm building this thing.

18
00:01:00,583 --> 00:01:02,988
I feel it's just,
like, right where, like,

19
00:01:02,988 --> 00:01:05,149
my heart is like, on my chest.

20
00:01:05,149 --> 00:01:08,566
It just feels like it's just constricting

21
00:01:10,107 --> 00:01:14,274
and that (sigh), I'm not (sighing).

22
00:01:18,851 --> 00:01:21,360
(Camera crackling)

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,328
- Nobody knows who you are,

24
00:01:22,328 --> 00:01:23,786
and you just try to
make a name for yourself.

25
00:01:23,786 --> 00:01:25,050
- And we are still young and stupid  and don't know what the tour means.

26
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:27,084
- You know, I think people
think that you only,

27
00:01:27,084 --> 00:01:28,342
like, partying all the time--

28
00:01:28,342 --> 00:01:29,967
- Yes, people think you're on vacation.

29
00:01:29,967 --> 00:01:31,212
- We can't build a fan base

30
00:01:31,212 --> 00:01:32,958
if we don't return more than once a year.

31
00:01:32,958 --> 00:01:35,372
- When they ask for two
hours worth of music,

32
00:01:35,372 --> 00:01:37,202


33
00:01:37,202 --> 00:01:39,012
they want background music.

34
00:01:39,012 --> 00:01:39,845
- Yes, that--

35
00:01:39,845 --> 00:01:41,310
- And we are not a background music band.

36
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:42,863
- I, I'm a dime a dozen.

37
00:01:42,863 --> 00:01:43,805
- I never got to the point

38
00:01:43,805 --> 00:01:45,394
where do I think I can really do it.

39
00:01:45,394 --> 00:01:46,655
- You know, when it's done, it's just

40
00:01:46,655 --> 00:01:49,226
You feel that, it's a little bit high.

41
00:01:49,226 --> 00:01:52,343
- That I was on the road
between five and six months

42
00:01:52,343 --> 00:01:53,588
from straight years.

43
00:01:53,588 --> 00:01:56,775
- I hope it's the phase,
why isn't this phase?

44
00:01:56,775 --> 00:01:58,428
- We wake up and everyone enters,

45
00:01:58,428 --> 00:02:02,782
and I'm like, "Whoa, everything
are these people here to see us?"

46
00:02:02,782 --> 00:02:04,317
- The best is, like,

47
00:02:04,317 --> 00:02:06,418
people begin to identify with it.

48
00:02:06,418 --> 00:02:10,040
- There is no stage, there
without ego, no persona.

49
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,431
- Because I'm not right in the head,

50
00:02:11,431 --> 00:02:14,059
and I can handle it.

51
00:02:14,059 --> 00:02:16,985
- Music is amazing (laughs),
is a very beautiful thing.

52
00:02:16,985 --> 00:02:20,572
- I don't understand,
and at the same time,

53
00:02:20,572 --> 00:02:21,986
it only reinforces again

54
00:02:21,986 --> 00:02:23,582
that we never know if
we enter.

55
00:02:23,582 --> 00:02:24,475
(piano boom accent)

56
00:02:24,475 --> 00:02:28,642
(piano that is fun but a little dramatic)

57
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:37,166
Since 2010, Elizabeth
and I have toured

58
00:02:37,166 --> 00:02:39,545
throughout the United States,
trying to make a name

59
00:02:39,545 --> 00:02:42,253
for ourselves as a Pocket Vinyl band.

60
00:02:42,253 --> 00:02:44,757
We don't have a manager, no booking agent,

61
00:02:44,757 --> 00:02:47,891
no press, no
driver, no merchant.

62
00:02:47,891 --> 00:02:49,838
There are no people outside of us.

63
00:02:49,838 --> 00:02:53,243
No doubt, that's the hardest job I've ever had.

64
00:02:53,243 --> 00:02:56,956
We have experienced many great adventures
and many are terrible.

65
00:02:56,956 --> 00:02:59,274
Don't get me wrong, that's amazing,

66
00:02:59,274 --> 00:03:01,542
but the tour can destroy you emotionally  if you are not careful.

67
00:03:01,542 --> 00:03:03,423
People often ask us why
we keep doing it and how.

68
00:03:03,423 --> 00:03:07,328
This is a difficult thing
answer and I'm not very sure  I even know the answer,

69
00:03:07,328 --> 00:03:10,167
but instead of trying to tell you,

70
00:03:10,167 --> 00:03:12,168
we think we will try to show it to you.

71
00:03:12,168 --> 00:03:13,988
For one full year, we filmed everything we could  about our lives on the road

72
00:03:13,988 --> 00:03:15,897
and interviewed many people
musicians we met along the way,

73
00:03:15,897 --> 00:03:19,060
all try to make a living by playing music.

74
00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:20,679
My name is Eric Stevenson,
and this is his life

75
00:03:20,679 --> 00:03:23,990
from a small, independent
musician it seems.

76
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:27,115
(Driving rock music)

77
00:03:27,115 --> 00:03:30,571


78
00:03:30,571 --> 00:03:33,957


79
00:03:33,957 --> 00:03:37,040


80
00:03:45,071 --> 00:03:50,059
♫ Speak if you want to talk, I don't

81
00:03:50,059 --> 00:03:54,142
♫ That puts numbers on every soul

82
00:03:55,177 --> 00:03:59,344
♫ You never mind, because I always give up  ♫ And I tend, but never

83
00:04:00,189 --> 00:04:02,391
♫ No, it's never enough and even though you

84
00:04:02,391 --> 00:04:05,087
♫ And even though you say what you mean

85
00:04:05,087 --> 00:04:09,982
♫ Well, I found your criticism  ♫ The opposite of wisdom  ♫ And even though you say what you need

86
00:04:09,982 --> 00:04:12,558
♫ I'm sure it's nothing

87
00:04:12,558 --> 00:04:15,085
♫ More like light than creatures  ♫ That feeling is very alone

88
00:04:15,085 --> 00:04:20,025
♫ Like God hangs up

89
00:04:20,025 --> 00:04:22,531
Hi.

90
00:04:22,531 --> 00:04:25,212
Ready for the Vinyl Pocket show?

91
00:04:25,212 --> 00:04:27,678
Good, I think you really like it.

92
00:04:27,678 --> 00:04:30,085
It's right in your alley.

93
00:04:30,085 --> 00:04:31,511


94
00:04:31,511 --> 00:04:34,178


95
00:04:35,173 --> 00:04:37,663


96
00:04:37,663 --> 00:04:39,168


97
00:04:39,168 --> 00:04:42,668
(Flow, dramatic piano)

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,871
Pocket Vinyl is just us both.

99
00:04:55,871 --> 00:04:57,425
I slammed the piano and sang

100
00:04:57,425 --> 00:05:00,299
while Elizabeth painted
a work on the stage,

101
00:05:00,299 --> 00:05:01,419
we auctioned

102
00:05:01,419 --> 00:05:03,775
to the highest bidder at each show.

103
00:05:03,775 --> 00:05:06,560
We got married in 2011, and since then,

104
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,690
has made it go
being a full time artist.

105
00:05:09,690 --> 00:05:13,115
We have played more than 500 shows in 46 states,

106
00:05:13,115 --> 00:05:17,357
and released four albums as
and several EPs and singles.

107
00:05:17,357 --> 00:05:21,036
We often describe us
music as a piano slam rock,

108
00:05:21,036 --> 00:05:23,812
mostly because a lot of it
is I slamming the piano

109
00:05:23,812 --> 00:05:25,694
as hard as I can and the lyrics scream

110
00:05:25,694 --> 00:05:28,119
about death, mental
disease, and finding God

111
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:31,365
in times when you doubt
the most,

112
00:05:31,365 --> 00:05:34,246
but it's not sad, really.

113
00:05:34,246 --> 00:05:37,107
At least that shouldn't be.

114
00:05:37,107 --> 00:05:40,344
Elizabeth's paintings are the real stars of the show.

115
00:05:40,344 --> 00:05:42,278
The work is always the only one,

116
00:05:42,278 --> 00:05:45,448
never repeat images on stage.

117
00:05:45,448 --> 00:05:46,968
I know I'm clearly biased,

118
00:05:46,968 --> 00:05:50,372
but I think they always
amazing and beautiful pieces.

119
00:05:50,372 --> 00:05:54,872
I sometimes sing offkey, but
Elizabeth has never had a bad show.

120
00:05:54,872 --> 00:05:58,947
♫ On my wall, and not
fire, gun, sword, catapult

121
00:05:58,947 --> 00:06:02,052
♫ Or dagger or spear  ♫ Can remove the object from here

122
00:06:02,052 --> 00:06:04,188
(Dramatic rock music with a piano that flows)

123
00:06:04,188 --> 00:06:08,355
♫ When I step out

124
00:06:16,183 --> 00:06:18,703
♫ I was welcomed by

125
00:06:18,703 --> 00:06:21,453
♫ A certain green color tells me

126
00:06:23,257 --> 00:06:26,980
♫ It's okay

127
00:06:26,980 --> 00:06:29,917


128
00:06:29,917 --> 00:06:33,124
♫ Because when it's a belt,
everything goes quickly

129
00:06:33,124 --> 00:06:36,779
♫ Collective voice
from all cattle eat

130
00:06:36,779 --> 00:06:38,388
♫ Grass tells me

131
00:06:38,388 --> 00:06:42,681
♫ That we will defeat our enemies  ♫ And I will make the first punch

132
00:06:42,681 --> 00:06:46,521
(rustling of the camera)

133
00:06:46,521 --> 00:06:49,354
January 1 (chuckles).

134
00:07:02,145 --> 00:07:06,297
- Oh yeah, I forgot.

135
00:07:06,297 --> 00:07:07,873
- (Chuckles) It's time to start the film!

136
00:07:07,873 --> 00:07:12,040
(sighs) Ready to go?

137
00:07:14,214 --> 00:07:16,267
- Do you lock the door?

138
00:07:16,267 --> 00:07:17,100
- [Eric] Yes.
- Are you sure?

139
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:17,933
- [Eric] Yes.
- Do you lock the gate?

140
00:07:17,933 --> 00:07:18,983
- [Eric] Yes.
- And the cellar is locked?

141
00:07:18,983 --> 00:07:20,226
- [Eric] Yes.

142
00:07:20,226 --> 00:07:21,510
- OK, I'm ready to go.

143
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:23,638
- [Eric] Let's do it.
- OK.

144
00:07:23,638 --> 00:07:26,021
- Okay, so we get all of our equipment.

145
00:07:26,021 --> 00:07:29,135


146
00:07:29,135 --> 00:07:33,302
We pack all our clothes, we have food boxes full of food.

147
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:37,750
Uh, we fell asleep
bag, we have a computer.

148
00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:40,353
We have our address list, right, for all places?

149
00:07:40,353 --> 00:07:41,186
- [Elizabeth] Uh, yeah.

150
00:07:41,186 --> 00:07:44,019
- And this and the iPod are full.

151
00:07:44,977 --> 00:07:46,816
Toiletries, all--

152
00:07:46,816 --> 00:07:47,941
- Uh, I packed toiletries,

153
00:07:47,941 --> 00:07:49,159
so I assume you put it in the car.

154
00:07:49,159 --> 00:07:52,185
- Yes, towel, you bring a swimsuit

155
00:07:52,185 --> 00:07:53,110
for whatever reason?

156
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:54,420
- Yes, of course, right?

157
00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:55,253
- Yes

158
00:07:56,343 --> 00:07:57,926
I think we are fine.

159
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,312
- Great.

160
00:08:00,312 --> 00:08:01,575
- [Eric] One of the more general questions

161
00:08:01,575 --> 00:08:05,275
how about musicians about this lifestyle,

162
00:08:05,275 --> 00:08:07,220
How do you order all these events?

163
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,858
How do you do it?

164
00:08:08,858 --> 00:08:11,691
To be honest, this is very similar to this.

165
00:08:13,366 --> 00:08:15,940
When you are not really on the road,

166
00:08:15,940 --> 00:08:19,087
being a musician
pretty much work at the table.

167
00:08:19,087 --> 00:08:21,926
This sends an email
after emailing to the bar,

168
00:08:21,926 --> 00:08:24,724
coffee shop, art
gallery, community room,

169
00:08:24,724 --> 00:08:28,103
and other places that might have a stage.

170
00:08:28,103 --> 00:08:31,943
Every 10 emails you send,
You might get it back,

171
00:08:31,943 --> 00:08:34,762
two if you're lucky,
and you're even luckier

172
00:08:34,762 --> 00:08:38,684
if the response returns,
"Yes, you can play here."

173
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:40,687
Just sitting in front of a computer

174
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:43,353
with patience and perseverance.

175
00:08:43,353 --> 00:08:46,556
(pleasant rock music muffled)

176
00:08:46,556 --> 00:08:48,386
You know how bored your feelings are at this time

177
00:08:48,386 --> 00:08:50,811
with how long do we last with this shot?

178
00:08:50,811 --> 00:08:53,721
Booking the tour feels a lot like that.

179
00:08:53,721 --> 00:08:55,113
Thanks to the internet,

180
00:08:55,113 --> 00:08:58,607
finding a place is not a very
thing that is difficult to do again.

181
00:08:58,607 --> 00:09:01,121
Google certainly belongs to you
friends in that situation,

182
00:09:01,121 --> 00:09:03,215
but personally, most of my orders

183
00:09:03,215 --> 00:09:07,407
akumenang.com

184
00:09:07,407 --> 00:09:09,527
- I'm definitely happy to have this information.

185
00:09:09,527 --> 00:09:12,982
I mean, like it, I have to like it
scavenge for information online

186
00:09:12,982 --> 00:09:15,899
and, like, eroding the
page of Myspace people

187
00:09:15,899 --> 00:09:19,307
to find possible places in an area,

188
00:09:19,307 --> 00:09:22,275
but now, you know, you
can enter our site,

189
00:09:22,275 --> 00:09:24,518
and it's like, "Okay, well, these are 50 places

190
00:09:24,518 --> 00:09:27,475
" within 50 miles of
wherever you want. "

191
00:09:27,475 --> 00:09:30,845
But really, that's just a
way to take the conversation

192
00:09:30,845 --> 00:09:34,674
that the band is offline.

193
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:37,327
They went to a new city,
" Hey, what's the cool place?

194
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:39,883
"What places suck, tell me about them."

195
00:09:39,883 --> 00:09:41,575
We took the conversation
and we installed it online

196
00:09:41,575 --> 00:09:43,469
so more people can contribute to that.

197
00:09:43,469 --> 00:09:46,219
(fun piano)

198
00:09:58,742 --> 00:10:01,561
♫ The first chord I play

199
00:10:01,561 --> 00:10:05,144
♫ Now in the past

200
00:10:06,509 --> 00:10:09,785
♫ When I play it again

201
00:10:09,785 --> 00:10:13,035
(sighs) Other bands

202
00:10:14,328 --> 00:10:16,328
gave us the whole door,

203
00:10:18,796 --> 00:10:21,213
which is tonight, around, uh,

204
00:10:24,741 --> 00:10:27,742
You know, between 150 and 200 dollars,

205
00:10:27,742 --> 00:10:30,563
and usually, we only share it with 50-50,

206
00:10:30,563 --> 00:10:32,591
You know, other bands
play or something like that,

207
00:10:32,591 --> 00:10:35,244
but they gave us everything,

208
00:10:35,244 --> 00:10:36,708
very, very good of them.

209
00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:39,476
That's something, I don't know,

210
00:10:39,476 --> 00:10:43,684
as a local band for the
band tour, that meant a lot.

211
00:10:43,684 --> 00:10:44,934
Like, you know.

212
00:10:47,541 --> 00:10:49,010
That's really good of them.

213
00:10:49,010 --> 00:10:51,323
- [Elizabeth] Yes, that's good of them.

214
00:10:51,323 --> 00:10:53,557
- [Eric] So, did you
enter music for money?

215
00:10:53,557 --> 00:10:55,096
- No (laugh)!

216
00:10:55,096 --> 00:10:56,068
- No.

217
00:10:56,068 --> 00:10:57,673
- No, I didn't do it.

218
00:10:57,673 --> 00:10:59,353
- No.
(Eric laughs)

219
00:10:59,353 --> 00:11:00,186
- No.

220
00:11:00,186 --> 00:11:01,019
- Well, no.

221
00:11:01,019 --> 00:11:02,412
(both laugh)

222
00:11:02,412 --> 00:11:03,245
- Money.

223
00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:07,991
- (laughs) No, not even close.

224
00:11:07,991 --> 00:11:11,367
- Of course, aw, my God, I'm just going home  and fall asleep very fast  on my mattress made of
hundred dollars.

225
00:11:11,367 --> 00:11:12,877
- No, I'm in because
I'm upset (laugh).

226
00:11:12,877 --> 00:11:15,259
That's why I entered it.

227
00:11:15,259 --> 00:11:19,313
I'm like, "Oh, wait, can I
get angry and get harder?"

228
00:11:19,313 --> 00:11:21,023
Fantastic, register me.

229
00:11:21,023 --> 00:11:24,905


230
00:11:24,905 --> 00:11:26,451


231
00:11:26,451 --> 00:11:28,516
- I mean, when I first started
, I paid,

232
00:11:28,516 --> 00:11:33,004
and that, like, & apos; 07,
and from & apos; 07 to, like, 2015,

233
00:11:33,004 --> 00:11:36,075
I might be paid, like,
three times (laugh).

234
00:11:36,075 --> 00:11:39,171
- You know, it becomes
real, the realization is very clear  when you are 18 years old

235
00:11:39,171 --> 00:11:40,181
and you yourself first,

236
00:11:40,181 --> 00:11:41,915
and you play some of your first
shows and they give you $ 20,

237
00:11:41,915 --> 00:11:45,254
and they said, "Thank you
," and you like,

238
00:11:45,254 --> 00:11:47,256
"That's $ 20 per person at least, right?"

239
00:11:47,256 --> 00:11:48,998
No, this is $ 20 for the band

240
00:11:48,998 --> 00:11:50,212
five people you brought

241
00:11:50,212 --> 00:11:51,732
and people running
merchandise tables (laughs).

242
00:11:51,732 --> 00:11:54,233
- But it's, like, an event for six hours,

243
00:11:54,233 --> 00:11:57,004
where you have to be
there, and they give you,

244
00:11:57,004 --> 00:11:58,768


245
00:11:58,768 --> 00:12:01,279
like, maybe two dollars, and that's like,

246
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,863
"Oh," or yes, that's them

247
00:12:03,863 --> 00:12:07,139
where I can't, I
can't do that anymore.

248
00:12:07,139 --> 00:12:08,094
- We will play for three hours tonight.

249
00:12:08,094 --> 00:12:09,712
We are not a three hour band,

250
00:12:09,712 --> 00:12:13,703
but (laughing) they promised
hundred dollars,

251
00:12:13,703 --> 00:12:16,765
So (sighing) I can't say it
not up to $ 100, so we said,

252
00:12:16,765 --> 00:12:18,179
"Yes, we will play for three hours,"

253
00:12:18,179 --> 00:12:20,588
although I am, three hours of material,

254
00:12:20,588 --> 00:12:22,376
in terms of what I can play
from our albums and items,

255
00:12:22,376 --> 00:12:23,389
slightly stretch it.

256
00:12:23,389 --> 00:12:25,254
- I go for money and groupies,

257
00:12:25,254 --> 00:12:27,317
and I became poor and a wife.

258
00:12:27,317 --> 00:12:30,472
- I know, good work.
(Eric laughs)

259
00:12:30,472 --> 00:12:32,863
- I would lie if I said
this is not about money.

260
00:12:32,863 --> 00:12:36,745
Money does help, but overall, it's all about music.

261
00:12:36,745 --> 00:12:37,905
- [Eric] Yes.
- Yes

262
00:12:37,905 --> 00:12:41,354
- There is this old school,
is rather punk rock, you know,

263
00:12:41,354 --> 00:12:44,773
the concept, "Oops, you can't
make money by doing this."

264
00:12:44,773 --> 00:12:47,703
In the end, you have to put gasoline in the van.

265
00:12:47,703 --> 00:12:50,828
- Behind food, gas
is of course the biggest expense

266
00:12:50,828 --> 00:12:52,761
on the road, with an eight hour trip

267
00:12:52,761 --> 00:12:55,428
often costs more than $ 45 at least,

268
00:12:56,336 --> 00:12:58,313
though, there are
times throughout the year

269
00:12:58,313 --> 00:13:01,410
when we experience very low gas prices,

270
00:13:01,410 --> 00:13:03,601
and honestly, when you're on tour,

271
00:13:03,601 --> 00:13:05,770
it's like getting a raise.

272
00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:09,131
$ 65 in 2011 to fill our car,

273
00:13:09,131 --> 00:13:11,048
and now, only 20 dollars.

274
00:13:12,206 --> 00:13:13,801
I might be able to insert a gallon again,

275
00:13:13,801 --> 00:13:16,133
but still, only $ 20.

276
00:13:16,133 --> 00:13:18,366
The biggest problem with money on the road

277
00:13:18,366 --> 00:13:20,896
Have you ever received a fixed salary.

278
00:13:20,896 --> 00:13:23,910
Depending on whatever it is
the place can offer in the sale of merchandise,

279
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:27,258
income fluctuates
quickly from night to night.

280
00:13:27,258 --> 00:13:29,399
- I did not enter this trade

281
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:33,321
think I'm going to attack him
rich, but if done correctly,

282
00:13:33,321 --> 00:13:35,177
You can make sustainable
life from it.

283
00:13:35,177 --> 00:13:36,080
You won't sit there  circling inside, you know, Cadillac,

284
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,789
- I always focus
to get a guarantee

285
00:13:38,789 --> 00:13:41,014
when ordering a tour,
so I will always say,

286
00:13:41,014 --> 00:13:43,632
at least $ 100 guaranteed,

287
00:13:43,632 --> 00:13:45,715
plus sales of merchandise and I
will always have to be

288
00:13:47,470 --> 00:13:50,716
the food and drinks taken
care, that's the basis.

289
00:13:50,716 --> 00:13:53,880


290
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,885
(squeaky brakes)

291
00:13:54,885 --> 00:13:57,028
(metallic collision)

292
00:13:57,028 --> 00:14:01,223
- This here is 2000 Toyota Camry,

293
00:14:01,223 --> 00:14:04,390
and has taken us to almost 600 shows

294
00:14:05,593 --> 00:14:07,093
more than 180,000 miles

295
00:14:10,212 --> 00:14:13,443
(Sigh), and the time is up.

296
00:14:13,443 --> 00:14:15,933
Goodbye, Camry, thank you very much  to bring us all
places that are very reliable.

297
00:14:15,933 --> 00:14:20,190
And hi Nissan Altima, yeah!

298
00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:22,690
We just found out

299
00:14:24,180 --> 00:14:25,597
that car that we just bought is new

300
00:14:29,157 --> 00:14:30,987
requires a lot of work in it.

301
00:14:30,987 --> 00:14:33,330
(groans) This money that we don't have
is on us now,

302
00:14:33,330 --> 00:14:37,497
but I have a credit card.

303
00:14:39,617 --> 00:14:41,534
(bell slamming)

304
00:14:43,787 --> 00:14:45,267
Every place operates
independent of each other,

305
00:14:45,267 --> 00:14:47,989
and thus, each has a different way

306
00:14:47,989 --> 00:14:49,759
they tried to give money to bands.

307
00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:52,044


308
00:14:52,044 --> 00:14:54,250
They can do what is called a door agreement,

309
00:14:54,250 --> 00:14:56,757
where they charge extra
and sell tickets to anyone

310
00:14:56,757 --> 00:15:00,174
enter the place and then
share it with the musician.

311
00:15:00,174 --> 00:15:03,210
They can give a guarantee,
which means they promise you

312
00:15:03,210 --> 00:15:05,760
certain amount at the end of the night.

313
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,667
Sometimes, they give you a percentage of sales from the bar  while you are playing, the
can be terrible or great

314
00:15:08,667 --> 00:15:11,323
depends on how to fill the place.

315
00:15:11,323 --> 00:15:13,716
Often, they let you play  for free and ask for donations.

316
00:15:13,716 --> 00:15:15,850
All of these have their advantages and disadvantages,

317
00:15:15,850 --> 00:15:18,472
but the guarantee is definitely
the most desirable,

318
00:15:18,472 --> 00:15:20,387
because it gives a sense of financial security.

319
00:15:20,387 --> 00:15:23,143
Beyond money from the place, the main
cover the band fee

320
00:15:23,143 --> 00:15:26,185


321
00:15:26,185 --> 00:15:30,229


322
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:32,218
through their merch desk.

323
00:15:32,218 --> 00:15:34,699
The merch desk is one of the most important components  from every live performance of musicians.

324
00:15:34,699 --> 00:15:36,844
Not only is that a big source of income,

325
00:15:36,844 --> 00:15:39,493
but it's also very
unique and beautiful way

326
00:15:39,493 --> 00:15:42,090
to connect with fans and in turn,

327
00:15:42,090 --> 00:15:44,582
help fans offer support to you.

328
00:15:44,582 --> 00:15:47,642
Pocket Vinyl merchandise table has

329
00:15:47,642 --> 00:15:49,515
entities that are constantly changing and developing.

330
00:15:49,515 --> 00:15:52,432
This year, it consists of T-shirts,

331
00:15:52,432 --> 00:15:55,068
CD, 12 "vinyl, 7" vinyl,

332
00:15:55,068 --> 00:15:57,151
stickers, business cards, download cards,

333
00:15:58,547 --> 00:16:02,037
socks, art prints of various sizes,

334
00:16:02,037 --> 00:16:04,782
recording bag, and book
illustrated by Elizabeth.

335
00:16:04,782 --> 00:16:08,665
You can definitely go to sea
with various products,

336
00:16:08,665 --> 00:16:11,570
but we find more and more we offer,

337
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:13,624
the more we tend to sell.

338
00:16:13,624 --> 00:16:15,607


339
00:16:15,607 --> 00:16:19,330
- Stickers are always a hit,
Because you can give them

340
00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:21,042
almost like a business card, you know,

341
00:16:21,042 --> 00:16:23,309
when you meet someone
in a restaurant or whatever.

342
00:16:23,309 --> 00:16:24,294
Everyone likes stickers.

343
00:16:24,294 --> 00:16:25,435
- We really have lotta merchandise.

344
00:16:25,435 --> 00:16:28,602
At one time, we had 14 shirts that I thought.

345
00:16:29,505 --> 00:16:31,599
We just tried to find out.

346
00:16:31,599 --> 00:16:33,637
Now, we're going to, like, five I think.

347
00:16:33,637 --> 00:16:34,788
- [Eric] T-shirt is definitely

348
00:16:34,788 --> 00:16:37,066
one of the biggest sources of income,

349
00:16:37,066 --> 00:16:40,450
and to help save money, a lot of bands, including us,

350
00:16:40,450 --> 00:16:42,471
make your own t-shirt.

351
00:16:42,471 --> 00:16:44,950
It takes a little more
our time, of course,

352
00:16:44,950 --> 00:16:46,258
but we found that people like

353
00:16:46,258 --> 00:16:48,334
small and personal touches,

354
00:16:48,334 --> 00:16:49,982
and it feels like every shirt

355
00:16:49,982 --> 00:16:52,931
is his own, small
unique artwork.

356
00:16:52,931 --> 00:16:55,622
This gives it a nice, homemade--

357
00:16:55,622 --> 00:16:56,581
- [Elizabeth] You better
make this one perfect,

358
00:16:56,581 --> 00:16:59,648
because I'm a video, I recorded it.

359
00:16:59,648 --> 00:17:02,065
(Eric sighs)

360
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:05,625
- [Eric] And--

361
00:17:06,679 --> 00:17:07,512
- [Elizabeth] Revealed!

362
00:17:07,512 --> 00:17:09,754
- [Eric] Ah, that's great!

363
00:17:09,754 --> 00:17:12,806
Good words, a little, a little soft, but.

364
00:17:12,806 --> 00:17:15,254
Often, you have to think outside the box

365
00:17:15,254 --> 00:17:16,604
in terms of what you offer.

366
00:17:16,604 --> 00:17:19,521
- Many times,
I will do, uh, haircuts.

367
00:17:19,521 --> 00:17:23,103
I will prepare a little,
uh, roadside barber shop.

368
00:17:23,103 --> 00:17:25,008
Charlotte, North Carolina,
we play outside,

369
00:17:25,008 --> 00:17:28,636
er, we play in a bar,
um, but they're not cool

370
00:17:28,636 --> 00:17:30,466
with me cutting hair inside the bar,

371
00:17:30,466 --> 00:17:33,405
Because they have food
there, that makes sense,

372
00:17:33,405 --> 00:17:36,575
but, uh, so I asked them
I can run the extension cable  and I just cut my hair on the sidewalk  in front of the bar.

373
00:17:36,575 --> 00:17:38,844
People walk according to, you know,
bars crawl and stuff.

374
00:17:38,844 --> 00:17:39,915
- [Eric] Without a doubt,
our biggest personal seller  and making money is Elizabeth's painting.

375
00:17:39,915 --> 00:17:42,607
The source of income
is already very much needed

376
00:17:42,607 --> 00:17:45,119
for our survival as a band.

377
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,779
- [Man On Right] Original and here,

378
00:17:47,779 --> 00:17:49,982
like the universe in
lanterns, is that a lantern?

379
00:17:49,982 --> 00:17:52,653
Wow, get a mountain and,
that's pretty good.

380
00:17:52,653 --> 00:17:54,015
- I would bet that around 70
percent of our tour revenue

381
00:17:54,015 --> 00:17:56,526
only from painting auctions.

382
00:17:56,526 --> 00:18:00,109
Sometimes, they auction very low,

383
00:18:00,988 --> 00:18:04,134


384
00:18:04,134 --> 00:18:07,036


385
00:18:07,036 --> 00:18:09,137


386
00:18:09,137 --> 00:18:11,594
price of one digit, but sometimes,

387
00:18:11,594 --> 00:18:14,326
they can get half of the better $ 1000

388
00:18:14,326 --> 00:18:16,705
all depends on who is in the audience.

389
00:18:16,705 --> 00:18:19,227
If two people can enter the bidding war,

390
00:18:19,227 --> 00:18:21,153
we know we will be set for the show.

391
00:18:21,153 --> 00:18:22,037
Excuse me, everyone!

392
00:18:22,037 --> 00:18:22,870
Oh, hey, everybody!

393
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:24,097
Hi, excuse me, everyone!

394
00:18:24,097 --> 00:18:26,475
Hey, excuse me, everyone, I'm sorry, uh.

395
00:18:26,475 --> 00:18:29,058
So, now, where is Hubert?

396
00:18:30,433 --> 00:18:31,802
You are our person, Hubert.

397
00:18:31,802 --> 00:18:33,352
- Don't, don't ask them to bid again.

398
00:18:33,352 --> 00:18:37,693
- Well, so for now,
Hubert has the highest bid

399
00:18:37,693 --> 00:18:39,776
in the painting for $ 105.

400
00:18:41,641 --> 00:18:44,141
Does anyone want to beat him?

401
00:18:44,996 --> 00:18:47,060
105 goes once.

402
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:47,893
- [Onlooker] 110.

403
00:18:47,893 --> 00:18:48,726
- [Eric] 110.

404
00:18:48,726 --> 00:18:51,717
- 115.
- 115, answer the bet!

405
00:18:51,717 --> 00:18:52,601
- [Onlooker] 120.

406
00:18:52,601 --> 00:18:54,217
- 120, right here.

407
00:18:54,217 --> 00:18:55,345
- [Onlooker] 120-what?

408
00:18:55,345 --> 00:18:57,697
- 121!
(Laughter laughs)

409
00:18:57,697 --> 00:18:58,530
- [Onlooker] 122.

410
00:18:58,530 --> 00:19:00,447
- 122, 122 goes twice.

411
00:19:01,872 --> 00:19:02,705
- 135.

412
00:19:02,705 --> 00:19:05,168
- 135!
(audience cheers)

413
00:19:05,168 --> 00:19:08,042
- [Onlooker] 140.
- Oh, 140!

414
00:19:08,042 --> 00:19:08,875
- Last?

415
00:19:08,875 --> 00:19:10,420
- Now, of course, Hubert
won't take that,

416
00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:11,902
it went 140 just once.

417
00:19:11,902 --> 00:19:12,985
- 155.

418
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:14,811
- 155!
(audience cheers)

419
00:19:14,811 --> 00:19:17,561
(crowd laughing)

420
00:19:20,644 --> 00:19:21,828
- 156 and one cent.

421
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:24,819
- No, I don't want to,
(crowd laughs)

422
00:19:24,819 --> 00:19:26,611
I'm sorry,
- And two cents!

423
00:19:26,611 --> 00:19:30,837
- This is not company policy
accept your stupid changes.

424
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:33,582
I want a full dollar amount.

425
00:19:33,582 --> 00:19:35,169
- 163.

426
00:19:35,169 --> 00:19:38,318
- 163.
(crowd laughing)

427
00:19:38,318 --> 00:19:39,735
A & apos; ight, OK, yes.

428
00:19:41,025 --> 00:19:43,025
Five, four, who else?

429
00:19:44,611 --> 00:19:47,272
(crowd crowds)

430
00:19:47,272 --> 00:19:49,355
Two, one.
- Go slowly!

431
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:53,899
- Oh, is that, 300?

432
00:19:53,899 --> 00:19:55,549
(crowd laughing)

433
00:19:55,549 --> 00:19:58,315
No, no, no dice, alright, sorry.

434
00:19:58,315 --> 00:20:00,848
I think I heard 300, I'm bad.

435
00:20:00,848 --> 00:20:02,431
For sale, 163, to be exact.

436
00:20:03,443 --> 00:20:05,029
(applause clapping)

437
00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:07,738
All right, thanks again, everyone!

438
00:20:07,738 --> 00:20:12,285
And sometimes there are
when you just have to be lucky.

439
00:20:12,285 --> 00:20:15,285
And there is a casino outside this exit.

440
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,488
- [Elizabeth] Ooh, it's free
live music tonight!

441
00:20:19,488 --> 00:20:23,655
(fun and fun piano
above rhythmic percussion)

442
00:20:33,771 --> 00:20:36,836
- Elizabeth has just won big in the slot.

443
00:20:36,836 --> 00:20:38,597
- I made $ 15.

444
00:20:38,597 --> 00:20:42,264
- We just made $ 13
playing free slot money,

445
00:20:43,994 --> 00:20:48,161
so we entered, we got this
Club Card Luckystar Player,

446
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,132
and they give us 10 dollars free in the slot,

447
00:20:52,132 --> 00:20:54,813
and we are back, what is that?

448
00:20:54,813 --> 00:20:55,954
- Uh, $ 18.

449
00:20:55,954 --> 00:20:57,047
- [Eric] $ 18.

450
00:20:57,047 --> 00:20:58,601
- And maybe get a little change.

451
00:20:58,601 --> 00:21:01,416
- [Eric] We played some
shows where we played for, like,

452
00:21:01,416 --> 00:21:04,776
two hours and has been made
less money than that.

453
00:21:04,776 --> 00:21:07,230
(Elizabeth chuckles)

454
00:21:07,230 --> 00:21:10,550
- Everyone must start gambling!

455
00:21:10,550 --> 00:21:12,338
This is the answer to everything.
(Eric laughs)

456
00:21:12,338 --> 00:21:15,041
Just pay for tabs and gambling.

457
00:21:15,041 --> 00:21:18,624
(Fun, flowing guitar)

458
00:21:31,771 --> 00:21:33,787
I have to make sure I get a good picture

459
00:21:33,787 --> 00:21:37,454
from you chewing
on your phallus symbol.

460
00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:40,898
Eric likes cucumbers and I hate--

461
00:21:40,898 --> 00:21:41,770
- Laugh all you want.

462
00:21:41,770 --> 00:21:43,725
- [Elizabeth] I hate the smell.

463
00:21:43,725 --> 00:21:45,559
They are disgusting!
- They are delicious!

464
00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:46,392
- [Elizabeth] They are so dirty!

465
00:21:46,392 --> 00:21:47,225
- and fill up.

466
00:21:47,225 --> 00:21:48,383
- [Elizabeth] Fill in?
- Yes!

467
00:21:48,383 --> 00:21:50,874
- [Elizabeth] They are mostly water!

468
00:21:50,874 --> 00:21:54,840
- I only know how I feel after eating it.

469
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,387
Food is always a problem on the road,

470
00:21:57,387 --> 00:21:59,641
and find some at affordable prices

471
00:21:59,641 --> 00:22:01,567
can sometimes be a challenge.

472
00:22:01,567 --> 00:22:03,013
- Many grocery stores,

473
00:22:03,013 --> 00:22:05,067
many, you know, grocery stores run.

474
00:22:05,067 --> 00:22:07,834
I tried to stay away from the gas station.

475
00:22:07,834 --> 00:22:09,218
I tried to stay away from the gas station,

476
00:22:09,218 --> 00:22:10,525
but, you know, you can't.

477
00:22:10,525 --> 00:22:12,064
- Eating in a grocery store is very good,

478
00:22:12,064 --> 00:22:15,308
and, like, Mexican food,
Japanese food, I eat everything.

479
00:22:15,308 --> 00:22:16,586
- [Eric] I talked to several people who spoke,

480
00:22:16,586 --> 00:22:19,125
they are like, "Oh yes, on the tour,
I just, like, gain weight,"

481
00:22:19,125 --> 00:22:21,466
Because they are, like, yes,
like, one person likes--

482
00:22:21,466 --> 00:22:25,411
- I am the opposite, like, I
can literally see my belt,

483
00:22:25,411 --> 00:22:29,347
like, I can tighten the extra
button easily.

484
00:22:29,347 --> 00:22:31,974
- So I am actually, I cooked
the back of my truck,

485
00:22:31,974 --> 00:22:34,687
and I have small propane, uh,

486
00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:37,478
uh, stove and things like that.

487
00:22:37,478 --> 00:22:39,854
- Buy lots of sandwich items,
many fruits and vegetables.

488
00:22:39,854 --> 00:22:42,002
You know, just inventory, like
has a cooler in the car,

489
00:22:42,002 --> 00:22:43,182
and I always snack.

490
00:22:43,182 --> 00:22:46,164
I think the three-dish mentality
doesn't really remain true

491
00:22:46,164 --> 00:22:47,828
on certain tour schedules.

492
00:22:47,828 --> 00:22:50,253
You just kind, you
graze all day.

493
00:22:50,253 --> 00:22:53,589
- I keep a cooler and a big bag of food in the car  with, you know--

494
00:22:53,589 --> 00:22:54,554


495
00:22:54,554 --> 00:22:55,843
- [Eric] Yes, we have a food box that we use--

496
00:22:55,843 --> 00:22:58,364
- Yes, and only chips, and nuts,

497
00:22:58,364 --> 00:23:01,363
and granola bar, and Cliff bar, and--

498
00:23:01,363 --> 00:23:03,645
- I'm basically a baby.

499
00:23:03,645 --> 00:23:05,562
Dry cheerios and juice.

500
00:23:06,522 --> 00:23:10,598
- When it's cold, I buy
most sandwiches,

501
00:23:10,598 --> 00:23:11,524
and hit them--

502
00:23:11,524 --> 00:23:12,555
- [Eric] Most sandwiches?

503
00:23:12,555 --> 00:23:15,440
- Yes, mostly baked sandwiches and beans.

504
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,258
- [Eric] Have you ever been bored?

505
00:23:17,258 --> 00:23:19,086
- Oh, yes, yes.
(Eric laughs)

506
00:23:19,086 --> 00:23:20,871
- Like, at that place
tonight, like, you know,

507
00:23:20,871 --> 00:23:22,873
they offer food, and, um,

508
00:23:22,873 --> 00:23:25,148
You know, that's also
that, that's difficult

509
00:23:25,148 --> 00:23:27,426
because the majority of
places offer pizza,

510
00:23:27,426 --> 00:23:30,074
and as you know, you can't eat cheese before you sing.

511
00:23:30,074 --> 00:23:30,907
So it's like--

512
00:23:30,907 --> 00:23:32,649
- [Eric] Or just, I mean, the pizza is heavy.

513
00:23:32,649 --> 00:23:33,482
- It sits heavily.

514
00:23:33,482 --> 00:23:35,553
- [Eric] Like, even if you only try to appear, yeah.

515
00:23:35,553 --> 00:23:37,499
- Sometimes the place will feed you  or, if we are going to someone's home,

516
00:23:37,499 --> 00:23:40,882
parking outside someone's house,
they will have food for us.

517
00:23:40,882 --> 00:23:43,434
- [Eric] This, you
made a lot (laugh),

518
00:23:43,434 --> 00:23:48,041
I think that, thank you.

519
00:23:48,041 --> 00:23:50,221
Sometimes, I don't think
that we deserve it,

520
00:23:50,221 --> 00:23:52,909
(scoffs) all the work
and the like, so I just--

521
00:23:52,909 --> 00:23:55,986
- Um, food is my love
language, first of all.

522
00:23:55,986 --> 00:23:59,467
- [Eric] Oh!

523
00:23:59,467 --> 00:24:00,300
- And I really like
looking for new friends through food.

524
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:04,467
- Are you familiar with Chipotle fraud?

525
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:09,019


526
00:24:09,019 --> 00:24:12,504
This is not really fraudulent, see,
I hesitate to call it a scam.

527
00:24:12,504 --> 00:24:13,893
People call it a scam.

528
00:24:13,893 --> 00:24:16,016
- [Eric] Let's call it
thing, what is Chipotle?

529
00:24:16,016 --> 00:24:18,154
- The deal, this is the Chipotle deal.

530
00:24:18,154 --> 00:24:22,321
We call it Chipotles, um, in
every city we will go to.

531
00:24:23,156 --> 00:24:25,367
Get a manager at
phone, say something like,

532
00:24:25,367 --> 00:24:26,983
"Hi, I only need fast
minutes of your time.

533
00:24:26,983 --> 00:24:29,786
" My name is Carl, I'm playing
in the band Kitten Crisis,

534
00:24:29,786 --> 00:24:32,366
"Closet Burn, Janovia Forerver,"
whatever you want to say.

535
00:24:32,366 --> 00:24:34,742
"We just passed
and I know that some Chipotles

536
00:24:34,742 --> 00:24:36,872
" have an agreement where they will
help support a musician's tour

537
00:24:36,872 --> 00:24:39,306
"who goes out on the road
by giving them food,

538
00:24:39,306 --> 00:24:40,937
" Maybe in return for some merchandise

539
00:24:40,937 --> 00:24:44,235
"or something like that,
and we just wondered

540
00:24:44,235 --> 00:24:46,628
" if this location
Chipotle participated

541
00:24:46,628 --> 00:24:49,066
"in that promotion or if
Chipotle's location

542
00:24:49,066 --> 00:24:50,372
" respects the promotion, "

543
00:24:50,372 --> 00:24:54,331
or deals or whatever it is
language, but I mean--

544
00:24:54,331 --> 00:24:55,414
- [Eric] Attention, they
will only be like,

545
00:24:55,414 --> 00:24:56,679
"Uh, yes, yes"
- It's 50-50.

546
00:24:56,679 --> 00:24:59,836
- 50-50, I will say,
it will be an opportunity.

547
00:24:59,836 --> 00:25:02,482
- [Eric] For the record, we have already
never really tried this,

548
00:25:02,482 --> 00:25:04,140
but if you want to try it,

549
00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:08,132
it might work
national fast food chain.

550
00:25:08,132 --> 00:25:10,583
- So, we are at this resting place
stop here in North Carolina ,

551
00:25:10,583 --> 00:25:12,834
and right when I got in the car,

552
00:25:12,834 --> 00:25:15,706
this woman is in a minivan,
she just pulled away,

553
00:25:15,706 --> 00:25:20,674
um, stop me and ask
if we can use some food.

554
00:25:20,674 --> 00:25:22,523
That, I think he--

555
00:25:22,523 --> 00:25:23,640
- [Eric] That never happened before.

556
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,885
- It never happened
before, he was like,

557
00:25:24,885 --> 00:25:26,310
"Yes, I have, like, this food bag,

558
00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:28,655
" And that, like, things I don't eat, "

559
00:25:28,655 --> 00:25:32,409
so it's like peaches,
and peanut butter,

560
00:25:32,409 --> 00:25:35,576
and juice, so this is amazing.  (Eric laughs)

561
00:25:36,717 --> 00:25:37,866
Very random, it seems like he doesn't even know that we're traveling

562
00:25:37,866 --> 00:25:41,150
or whatever, he's like,

563
00:25:41,150 --> 00:25:42,386
"You look like you can
eat food, do you want food? "

564
00:25:42,386 --> 00:25:45,927
(laughs) So--

565
00:25:45,927 --> 00:25:47,235
- He's like," Oh, "we said
he's us from Connecticut,

566
00:25:47,235 --> 00:25:49,956
he's like," Well, this
is a gift from Jesus. "

567
00:25:49,956 --> 00:25:52,580


568
00:25:52,580 --> 00:25:54,784
- Gift from Jesus!
(Eric laughs)

569
00:25:54,784 --> 00:25:58,534
This is amazing, we need
to get the nutcracker.

570
00:26:02,690 --> 00:26:05,148
♫ And we know what we know  ♫ Because you showed us

571
00:26:05,148 --> 00:26:07,809
♫ Yes, we know what we know  - There are still some items
that live on the roof.

572
00:26:07,809 --> 00:26:09,937
♫ Yes, we know

573
00:26:09,937 --> 00:26:13,075
- As we all eat
floor, let's eat this.

574
00:26:13,075 --> 00:26:15,820
- [Elizabeth] (laugh)
I remember you putting it

575
00:26:15,820 --> 00:26:19,550
on the roof and think, like,

576
00:26:19,550 --> 00:26:20,383
"We might do it
away with it.

577
00:26:20,383 --> 00:26:21,546
" Ah, he's smarter than this (laugh). "

578
00:26:21,546 --> 00:26:22,896
You're the one who left the item on the roof!

579
00:26:22,896 --> 00:26:25,757
(both laugh)

580
00:26:25,757 --> 00:26:27,385
- Me I don't mean that!

581
00:26:27,385 --> 00:26:30,052
This is good, there are some arguments,

582
00:26:32,173 --> 00:26:33,503
but I think the juice is fine.

583
00:26:33,503 --> 00:26:35,470


584
00:26:35,470 --> 00:26:37,269


585
00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:38,613
- [Elizabeth] I really saw
going forward to the juice too,

586
00:26:38,613 --> 00:26:39,903
so if we, like, if it explodes,

587
00:26:39,903 --> 00:26:41,833
I will be very angry (laugh).

588
00:26:41,833 --> 00:26:44,877
- I saw cars coming, because
several cars passed by,

589
00:26:44,877 --> 00:26:47,370
and I'm like, "Please
don't hit juice!"

590
00:26:47,370 --> 00:26:52,318
Now, are you ready to continue
in the world, smart people,

591
00:26:52,318 --> 00:26:55,735
because I'm also a smart person.

592
00:26:58,446 --> 00:27:00,779
Mm, good and shaken,

593
00:27:01,703 --> 00:27:03,419
actually it feels better this way.

594
00:27:03,419 --> 00:27:07,586
(rhythmic guitar, slightly moody)

595
00:27:18,653 --> 00:27:22,820
(Cheers growling cheerfully above
rhythmic violin and guitar)

596
00:27:28,048 --> 00:27:31,175
The bar is of course the most common type of place.

597
00:27:31,175 --> 00:27:34,867
The majority of almost every
show of musicians is on them.

598
00:27:34,867 --> 00:27:38,771
They are easy to contact, usually
offers food and drinks,

599
00:27:38,771 --> 00:27:40,336
and people will often be there

600
00:27:40,336 --> 00:27:42,751
whether music is happening or not.

601
00:27:42,751 --> 00:27:46,244
Coffee shops and restaurants
are similar situations,

602
00:27:46,244 --> 00:27:48,350
but for many independent musicians,

603
00:27:48,350 --> 00:27:51,509
the best type of event
not in all of this,

604
00:27:51,509 --> 00:27:53,056
but in people's homes.

605
00:27:53,056 --> 00:27:55,277
- They, they, they are very special  when you go to them.

606
00:27:55,277 --> 00:27:57,502
- Yes, I love them,
I think they are great.

607
00:27:57,502 --> 00:27:59,968
I hope more people hold him back.

608
00:27:59,968 --> 00:28:01,405
- Good, like everyone there,

609
00:28:01,405 --> 00:28:03,108
usually, for music.

610
00:28:03,108 --> 00:28:05,365
- Well, I always feel
like that crowd, like,

611
00:28:05,365 --> 00:28:09,003
they really exist for us  not only there.

612
00:28:09,003 --> 00:28:10,600
- Have people come to the environment

613
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,336
and seeing something
really finished them off,

614
00:28:13,336 --> 00:28:16,165
like seeing, not just bands

615
00:28:16,165 --> 00:28:19,284


616
00:28:19,284 --> 00:28:21,869


617
00:28:21,869 --> 00:28:23,648
that people come to see,
this is the environment.

618
00:28:23,648 --> 00:28:26,582
This is intimacy that surrounds music.

619
00:28:26,582 --> 00:28:29,266
- We all share each other's energy,

620
00:28:29,266 --> 00:28:31,417
like, you can hear a drop of pin in the room

621
00:28:31,417 --> 00:28:34,948
because everyone is fair,
like, there and they understand  that I really tried to
express something to them,

622
00:28:34,948 --> 00:28:38,182
that I really tried to say something.

623
00:28:38,182 --> 00:28:40,191
- Such an event, you know,

624
00:28:40,191 --> 00:28:43,385
is where you sell shitload merchandise,

625
00:28:43,385 --> 00:28:45,565
because people are there,
they listen,

626
00:28:45,565 --> 00:28:47,492
and, like, they heard it
line on one of your songs

627
00:28:47,492 --> 00:28:50,240
which really, like, rings true.

628
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,473
They will buy a CD, they will buy it
buy a shirt, huh?

629
00:28:52,473 --> 00:28:54,927


630
00:28:54,927 --> 00:28:56,802
- And I like home shows
Because there are no additional fees.

631
00:28:56,802 --> 00:28:58,896
It's all based on donations, but, uh,

632
00:28:58,896 --> 00:29:02,078
really, I really appreciate
such community spaces  where, uh, people can come
together and see music.

633
00:29:02,078 --> 00:29:06,431
- I guess I like it
satisfaction seeing people

634
00:29:06,431 --> 00:29:09,435
enjoy something and, like,

635
00:29:09,435 --> 00:29:11,287
it's not like being in front of it,

636
00:29:11,287 --> 00:29:13,160
becomes that face, but
knows that I, like, have several,

637
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,344
some organizational strength is more than that.

638
00:29:16,344 --> 00:29:18,384
What I can bring
to one thing that is common

639
00:29:18,384 --> 00:29:22,057
where they can enjoy something together.

640
00:29:22,057 --> 00:29:24,867
That's very satisfying for me.

641
00:29:24,867 --> 00:29:26,328
- One of our previous members in the community  have, still have their own band,

642
00:29:26,328 --> 00:29:29,381
and (laughs), and so we
want to support it,

643
00:29:29,381 --> 00:29:31,881


644
00:29:32,797 --> 00:29:36,310


645
00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:38,607
and he has the idea to do it
a show, and as Jon said,

646
00:29:38,607 --> 00:29:41,421
we have space, and, um,

647
00:29:41,421 --> 00:29:42,996
we want to be more involved in art

648
00:29:42,996 --> 00:29:46,077
and support art in us
community in several small ways.

649
00:29:46,077 --> 00:29:49,313
- So this is the only
that I really, really,

650
00:29:49,313 --> 00:29:51,167
really like to do, and with this,

651
00:29:51,167 --> 00:29:53,335
I mean everything related to music,

652
00:29:53,335 --> 00:29:55,537
because for me, it seems like
is the only one

653
00:29:55,537 --> 00:29:58,110
it's very valuable,
if you can give someone,

654
00:29:58,110 --> 00:30:02,277
if you can create an
environment where someone is inspired,

655
00:30:04,530 --> 00:30:06,539
You have changed the person's perspective,

656
00:30:06,539 --> 00:30:08,273
at least to some extent.

657
00:30:08,273 --> 00:30:10,030
And that's the only thing that really matters  can leave, is an impression, I think.

658
00:30:10,030 --> 00:30:12,562


659
00:30:12,562 --> 00:30:14,519
- A songwriter, he's amazing,

660
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:18,257
and it's like, I don't have
know what this person is about,

661
00:30:18,257 --> 00:30:19,789
and he likes to get rid of the audience.

662
00:30:19,789 --> 00:30:22,257
Everyone just stays quiet,
likes, listens to him play,

663
00:30:22,257 --> 00:30:23,267
and, uh, that's something

664
00:30:23,267 --> 00:30:26,151
You will not get another place.

665
00:30:26,151 --> 00:30:27,396
- Some, like, my best memories

666
00:30:27,396 --> 00:30:29,993
from high school there,
so, like, going to these events,

667
00:30:29,993 --> 00:30:32,067
they like,
quite a lot once a week,

668
00:30:32,067 --> 00:30:35,030
every two weeks, this is like,

669
00:30:35,030 --> 00:30:37,084
a bunch of tour
band, buncha friends.

670
00:30:37,084 --> 00:30:38,372
People from various places,

671
00:30:38,372 --> 00:30:40,120
and, like, I'm still listening to
for all the music now.

672
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,193
And, uh, they really are,
like, a lasting impact on me,

673
00:30:43,193 --> 00:30:45,342
and that their house
shows who really did it.

674
00:30:45,342 --> 00:30:49,042
Seeing the form of such a community,

675
00:30:49,042 --> 00:30:49,936
like being part of that community

676
00:30:49,936 --> 00:30:51,266
is an amazing experience and I guess

677
00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:52,857
I like to hold home events

678
00:30:52,857 --> 00:30:55,220
because I can be a part of it.

679
00:30:55,220 --> 00:30:56,242
(squeaky brakes)

680
00:30:56,242 --> 00:30:59,242
(metallic collision)

681
00:31:01,142 --> 00:31:04,363
- Our car broke down last night,

682
00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:08,908
(Sighing) and a man let
we live in his house,

683
00:31:08,908 --> 00:31:13,080
this house he renovated,
so nobody is there,

684
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,241
but we only sleep for five hours,

685
00:31:15,241 --> 00:31:19,231
and now he is taking us back to the car.

686
00:31:19,231 --> 00:31:22,455
I'm very tired, I'm really, really tired,

687
00:31:22,455 --> 00:31:25,254
and we have to find
mechanics who will repair our car,

688
00:31:25,254 --> 00:31:28,421
and then the tow company towed our car.

689
00:31:30,363 --> 00:31:34,030
We will be some
hundred dollars poorer.

690
00:31:38,973 --> 00:31:40,256
(bell slamming)

691
00:31:40,256 --> 00:31:43,380
Along with home shows,
is another great place to play

692
00:31:43,380 --> 00:31:46,190
it's in the community and DIY rooms.

693
00:31:46,190 --> 00:31:49,106
This is usually
voluntary-managed organizations

694
00:31:49,106 --> 00:31:52,713
who have secured the
space in the city to organize the event.

695
00:31:52,713 --> 00:31:55,523
The people who run it
often never make money,

696
00:31:55,523 --> 00:31:57,640
and do it only for love of music

697
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,599
and trying to be great
Events happen in their city,

698
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:03,898
and provide a safe and a welcome room for everyone,

699
00:32:03,898 --> 00:32:07,336
regardless of anyone
personal identity or age.

700
00:32:07,336 --> 00:32:09,635
- Get involved in a, uh, music scene

701
00:32:09,635 --> 00:32:13,169
here in Galesburg, uh, saved me.

702
00:32:13,169 --> 00:32:16,744
I mean, like, honest,
I deal with a lot, uh,

703
00:32:16,744 --> 00:32:18,916
problems with depression and anxiety.

704
00:32:18,916 --> 00:32:23,083
Being able to be part of a
very friendly scene  and, uh, it's like that
good support system,

705
00:32:24,066 --> 00:32:28,542
that's great, um,

706
00:32:28,542 --> 00:32:30,625
great for me socially,
is great for me emotionally.

707
00:32:31,645 --> 00:32:34,350
And yes, that's something
I have passion for,

708
00:32:34,350 --> 00:32:36,033
So why not continue to do it?

709
00:32:36,033 --> 00:32:38,450
- What I like about this place, um,

710
00:32:39,354 --> 00:32:41,086
I like long life.

711
00:32:41,086 --> 00:32:42,836
Uh, it looks like, for a long time
when it was Blast-O-Mat,

712
00:32:44,589 --> 00:32:47,504
that, indeed like that.

713
00:32:47,504 --> 00:32:50,070
That's a super cliche, that's
20 people the same every night,

714
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:53,248
but, um, and that's kind of the way

715
00:32:53,248 --> 00:32:56,434
and go in good time.

716
00:32:56,434 --> 00:32:59,074
And, um, there's always someone to take his coat,

717
00:32:59,074 --> 00:33:02,169
and that is Harun Saye,

718
00:33:02,169 --> 00:33:03,245


719
00:33:03,245 --> 00:33:06,432
he was involved again
when it was Blast-O-Mat.

720
00:33:06,432 --> 00:33:08,322
Yes, what Aaron Saye is
I like about this place.

721
00:33:08,322 --> 00:33:09,669
(Eric and Elizabeth laugh)

722
00:33:09,669 --> 00:33:11,606
Uh, he's an amazing human.

723
00:33:11,606 --> 00:33:15,197
- Uh, where we are, Seventh
Circle, first,

724
00:33:15,197 --> 00:33:17,685
uh, basically the same thing
, more,

725
00:33:17,685 --> 00:33:20,052
like, punk house, and that
is called Blast-O-Mat.

726
00:33:20,052 --> 00:33:21,954
I just started going there
Because of my friend's band

727
00:33:21,954 --> 00:33:24,659
starts playing there as
good, and I fully

728
00:33:24,659 --> 00:33:26,829
fall in love with underground culture.

729
00:33:26,829 --> 00:33:27,978
- [Eric] What, how about that?

730
00:33:27,978 --> 00:33:30,203
- You know, I'm not, it's
difficult to put

731
00:33:30,203 --> 00:33:33,950
what is the allure, but
is just something  so far from mainstream

732
00:33:33,950 --> 00:33:36,930
and only a little inside ourselves,

733
00:33:36,930 --> 00:33:39,155
it feels almost like this
little secret society.

734
00:33:39,155 --> 00:33:41,433


735
00:33:41,433 --> 00:33:45,370
There is only something
for these independent bands

736
00:33:45,370 --> 00:33:47,586
no one heard it
playing in the garage

737
00:33:47,586 --> 00:33:51,108
that, in my mind, is fair
good, if not better,

738
00:33:51,108 --> 00:33:53,865
from those bands I
saw playing in the arena.

739
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:56,515
I don't know, I just like
for just providing

740
00:33:56,515 --> 00:33:59,475
whatever I can to help people
if they need it, you know?

741
00:33:59,475 --> 00:34:01,708
So only one spell.

742
00:34:01,708 --> 00:34:03,688
that we sort of base the place from

743
00:34:03,688 --> 00:34:06,807
which I think is a type of
mantra from many DIY places

744
00:34:06,807 --> 00:34:09,988
across the country only
overall acceptance, you know?

745
00:34:09,988 --> 00:34:12,714
Acceptance and only welcome people with open arms.

746
00:34:12,714 --> 00:34:15,811
Like, Sharone, the girl
who's been headlining tonight,

747
00:34:15,811 --> 00:34:19,835
him, tonight he is the first
to appear as a full band.

748
00:34:19,835 --> 00:34:23,005
He is a piano player and
Acoustic guitar player

749
00:34:23,005 --> 00:34:25,538
and vocalist, and he has
played solo shows

750
00:34:25,538 --> 00:34:27,518
with us, for, two and a half years,

751
00:34:27,518 --> 00:34:29,935
and he is very extraordinary.

752
00:34:31,544 --> 00:34:35,214
She's in a situation where she doesn't talk to her parents  He emancipated himself before
He was 18 for several reasons.

753
00:34:35,214 --> 00:34:38,375
I don't know why, I don't know the subtleties,

754
00:34:38,375 --> 00:34:40,066
but he has become one of our most frequent volunteers  in places other than
playing there all the time,

755
00:34:40,066 --> 00:34:44,233
and he really fell
fell in love with that place

756
00:34:45,304 --> 00:34:47,943
and falls into it and just
found it as a second home

757
00:34:47,943 --> 00:34:49,997
that he was very desperate
needed at that time.

758
00:34:49,997 --> 00:34:53,277
- When I first started coming
here, nobody knows who I am.

759
00:34:53,277 --> 00:34:55,692


760
00:34:55,692 --> 00:34:57,335


761
00:34:57,335 --> 00:34:59,809
I don't know anyone, I've just come to the program and, like,

762
00:34:59,809 --> 00:35:01,918
sort of hiding, me, like
is really calm and awkward.

763
00:35:01,918 --> 00:35:04,111
I'm still, I'm still
very awkward and weird,

764
00:35:04,111 --> 00:35:05,686
but now I just, like,
I have met more people  and I already know,
like, I sing backup  for Vienna LaRissa and
Strange in a few weeks

765
00:35:05,686 --> 00:35:08,018
at the Marquis and only, like,
That's because of this place.

766
00:35:08,018 --> 00:35:10,537
This place is the best

767
00:35:10,537 --> 00:35:13,612
it happened to me.

768
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:14,445
- Now, he's like, basically, alone.

769
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:15,391
He lives in an apartment
with a roommate, whatever,

770
00:35:15,391 --> 00:35:17,072
he made his life, but, you know,

771
00:35:17,072 --> 00:35:19,135
it seems like that time,

772
00:35:19,135 --> 00:35:21,785
that's really what he needs
to give him some direction

773
00:35:21,785 --> 00:35:22,828


774
00:35:22,828 --> 00:35:25,414


775
00:35:25,414 --> 00:35:26,948
and give the music some validation,

776
00:35:26,948 --> 00:35:28,756
therefore another thing
things I think

777
00:35:28,756 --> 00:35:32,435
his family has never supported
from his music business,

778
00:35:32,435 --> 00:35:35,673
and, I mean, Lord, you will see
when you see it tonight,

779
00:35:35,673 --> 00:35:36,833
like, nothing else

780
00:35:36,833 --> 00:35:38,483
he must do with his life.

781
00:35:38,483 --> 00:35:40,558
- Like music is where I live.

782
00:35:40,558 --> 00:35:42,526
This is, like, the only thing that makes me feel  like me normal and make
I'm happy, and play shows,

783
00:35:42,526 --> 00:35:45,788
like tonight is the best night of my life,

784
00:35:45,788 --> 00:35:48,739
like, starting now.

785
00:35:48,739 --> 00:35:49,975
- [Eric] Really?

786
00:35:49,975 --> 00:35:50,808
- Yes, I mean, like, just do it

787
00:35:50,808 --> 00:35:52,296
that's what makes me very happy.

788
00:35:52,296 --> 00:35:53,859
- He found Seventh
Circle it somehow and later

789
00:35:53,859 --> 00:35:56,595


790
00:35:56,595 --> 00:35:58,403
just started playing shows
and the first time he played,

791
00:35:58,403 --> 00:36:00,910
I remember, like, I saved the
document on my cellphone

792
00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:03,599
where I like, notes about local bands,

793
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:05,376
so I can reference
when I order a show

794
00:36:05,376 --> 00:36:06,666
in the future, you know,

795
00:36:06,666 --> 00:36:08,463
and I remember writing
something down, like,

796
00:36:08,463 --> 00:36:10,827
"My God, this girl is 15 years old
and she is just as good

797
00:36:10,827 --> 00:36:13,170
" Just like a fucking Grammy
a winner I have heard. "

798
00:36:13,170 --> 00:36:16,117
As holy, and
he got better

799
00:36:16,117 --> 00:36:17,374
in the last two and a half years.

800
00:36:17,374 --> 00:36:20,969
- For me, it's home, that's
only a place I can go to  and doesn't feel like I'm very strange .  - [Eric] It's amazing!

801
00:36:20,969 --> 00:36:24,631
- You know, we made a
name of a fake booking agent

802
00:36:24,631 --> 00:36:25,464


803
00:36:25,464 --> 00:36:27,962


804
00:36:27,962 --> 00:36:31,901
and send us an email from
the name of our fake booking agent,

805
00:36:31,901 --> 00:36:35,158
and, like, pretending
is more legitimate than us.

806
00:36:35,158 --> 00:36:37,597
Whatever the trick and,
You know, that we tried--

807
00:36:37,597 --> 00:36:39,842
- [Eric] Do you do that?
- Yes (laugh)!

808
00:36:39,842 --> 00:36:41,582
- [Eric] I have never, I haven't,

809
00:36:41,582 --> 00:36:43,483
I always say I'm Eric, I don't know.

810
00:36:43,483 --> 00:36:47,640
- This is strange because I feel
bad about manipulation,

811
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,143
but I feel more confident that I have to.

812
00:36:50,143 --> 00:36:51,262
- [Eric] Do you find that when you pretend

813
00:36:51,262 --> 00:36:52,964
to be someone else, what is it--

814
00:36:52,964 --> 00:36:54,688
- I found that when I pretended to be male,

815
00:36:54,688 --> 00:36:56,380
I got more responses.

816
00:36:56,380 --> 00:36:58,334
- [Eric] Really?

817
00:36:58,334 --> 00:37:01,524
That sucks.
- Quite a mess, huh?

818
00:37:01,524 --> 00:37:03,685
- I, many times,

819
00:37:03,685 --> 00:37:06,506
the only woman in the whole
shows, that's the real thing.

820
00:37:06,506 --> 00:37:07,529
- [Eric] Yes, same as Elizabeth.

821
00:37:07,529 --> 00:37:08,574
- That's very, very common.

822
00:37:08,574 --> 00:37:12,351
- Yes, I think there is an
assumption that I am not,

823
00:37:12,351 --> 00:37:14,363
You know, it won't be very good

824
00:37:14,363 --> 00:37:16,389
on my actual instrument.

825
00:37:16,389 --> 00:37:18,035
- Well, I think it's different for us,

826
00:37:18,035 --> 00:37:20,186
Because we dress like slags
and he has orange hair,

827
00:37:20,186 --> 00:37:22,060
So people know we are in the band.

828
00:37:22,060 --> 00:37:24,480
- Yes, we dress like they
know we are in the band.

829
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,786
- [Eric] Really, so you
haven't, you haven't--

830
00:37:25,786 --> 00:37:27,571
- But we have experience
that kind of thing--

831
00:37:27,571 --> 00:37:28,709
- Yes, all the time.

832
00:37:28,709 --> 00:37:30,138
- That, that's the standard,
just being a woman.

833
00:37:30,138 --> 00:37:31,765
It's just that, it's the same in any industry.

834
00:37:31,765 --> 00:37:34,068
- We have, you know, a woman
in our extraordinary band,

835
00:37:34,068 --> 00:37:37,751
Camelia, who plays the piano,
several violins from time to time.

836
00:37:37,751 --> 00:37:39,765
You know, I hate
the fact that people only assume

837
00:37:39,765 --> 00:37:42,842
that he is someone
boyfriend in the group.

838
00:37:42,842 --> 00:37:43,675
- [Eric] Oh!

839
00:37:43,675 --> 00:37:46,356
- So, you know, he
talks with healthy men

840
00:37:46,356 --> 00:37:49,503
about the settings, and
this and others.

841
00:37:49,503 --> 00:37:52,052
They just stopped
because he was a woman,

842
00:37:52,052 --> 00:37:55,928
it becomes clear, he just,
You know, who plays the piano

843
00:37:55,928 --> 00:37:58,581
or who plays the key,
like he doesn't know,

844
00:37:58,581 --> 00:38:02,133
and a kind of strange misogyny
things kinda rubbing me wrong.

845
00:38:02,133 --> 00:38:04,305
A rather beautiful thing about it

846
00:38:04,305 --> 00:38:06,115
is, you know, he's one of the most amazing players  What I've seen in my life, so you know,

847
00:38:06,115 --> 00:38:08,788


848
00:38:08,788 --> 00:38:11,950
a good boy with
Kid Rock shirt,

849
00:38:11,950 --> 00:38:15,507
(scoffs) You know, maybe
is a much poorer guitar player,

850
00:38:15,507 --> 00:38:17,975
piano player, violinist, you know.

851
00:38:17,975 --> 00:38:21,543
He plays all these instruments
is better than I might be,

852
00:38:21,543 --> 00:38:24,193
You know, I will, you know?

853
00:38:24,193 --> 00:38:27,250
And for whatever reason,
they just ignore it.

854
00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:29,868
- Have, like, you know,
if you come to check the sound

855
00:38:29,868 --> 00:38:31,423
and you're not dressed
people like,

856
00:38:31,423 --> 00:38:35,055
"Oh, so you are his
girlfriend or you," yes.

857
00:38:35,055 --> 00:38:36,291
- Someone tonight
actually said they thought

858
00:38:36,291 --> 00:38:38,195
we are groupies, and
then we go on stage,

859
00:38:38,195 --> 00:38:39,683
and they are like "Oh,
then you shake!"

860
00:38:39,683 --> 00:38:42,540
- Yes, especially when I sell merchandise.

861
00:38:42,540 --> 00:38:44,989
They ask me about other merch bands.

862
00:38:44,989 --> 00:38:48,207
They only think of me as a kind of trade woman.

863
00:38:48,207 --> 00:38:49,902
What I'm happy about,
- If we haven't played.

864
00:38:49,902 --> 00:38:50,983
- If we haven't played, yes,

865
00:38:50,983 --> 00:38:53,325
and I like to sell others
merch people, you know?

866
00:38:53,325 --> 00:38:54,371
Like, that's their problem.

867
00:38:54,371 --> 00:38:55,965
- Yes, that's extra money for us!

868
00:38:55,965 --> 00:38:58,236
- No, we don't (laugh).

869
00:38:58,236 --> 00:38:59,491
- This is very poor, and you only,

870
00:38:59,491 --> 00:39:01,078
You are looking at
things, and you are like,

871
00:39:01,078 --> 00:39:04,227
"Wow, so this is very good
from a joke," you know?

872
00:39:04,227 --> 00:39:05,839
How much did I do
really wanted to buy it,

873
00:39:05,839 --> 00:39:07,479
but then you see other people,

874
00:39:07,479 --> 00:39:09,001
and you are like, "Well,
is a joke,"

875
00:39:09,001 --> 00:39:12,120
so I can do this
I like and suck it,

876
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,941
and deal with it with anything
it presents me,

877
00:39:14,941 --> 00:39:17,816
or I can stamp my feet and say,

878
00:39:17,816 --> 00:39:20,627
"That's wrong if you like this," you know,

879
00:39:20,627 --> 00:39:23,769
don't get a place, you know.

880
00:39:23,769 --> 00:39:26,084
You only work with what you have.

881
00:39:26,084 --> 00:39:28,871
- When it first starts,
is a little different.

882
00:39:28,871 --> 00:39:32,140
Um, that's more than possible for everyone to assume

883
00:39:32,140 --> 00:39:35,675
I am Mike's girlfriend, um,
that I became very good

884
00:39:35,675 --> 00:39:38,326
by helping him carry the drum, um.

885
00:39:38,326 --> 00:39:41,563
I have a club owner who, you know,

886
00:39:41,563 --> 00:39:42,896
really special ones, like

887
00:39:42,896 --> 00:39:45,084
try to mark the band
when they enter, you know,

888
00:39:45,084 --> 00:39:47,373
and they are like, "Are you in the band?"

889
00:39:47,373 --> 00:39:50,375
and you say, "Yes," and then they say,

890
00:39:50,375 --> 00:39:53,367
"Transporting teeth does not
become part of the band.

891
00:39:53,367 --> 00:39:55,177
"Are you in the band?"
and I like,

892
00:39:55,177 --> 00:39:57,873
"I'm the fucking lead
singer, is that okay with you?"

893
00:39:57,873 --> 00:40:00,030
- I hate people who think it is because you are a woman,

894
00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:03,345
you, um, only a
singer or you can't play,

895
00:40:03,345 --> 00:40:04,867
or, I don't know, anything.

896
00:40:04,867 --> 00:40:06,657
- [Eric] Yes, you
rippin & apos; that is, I mean,

897
00:40:06,657 --> 00:40:07,591
you too, so I don't--

898
00:40:07,591 --> 00:40:09,007
- Well, I mean, like,
that's also the problem.

899
00:40:09,007 --> 00:40:12,333
Like, you, I think often,
if you are an attractive woman,

900
00:40:12,333 --> 00:40:14,021
people think you don't have talent.

901
00:40:14,021 --> 00:40:18,056
- The man's voice
may be in his 50s, maybe,

902
00:40:18,056 --> 00:40:20,291
um, schools are very old, long gray ponytails.

903
00:40:20,291 --> 00:40:22,975
Like, I must have done it
This is a bit of a gig for a while.

904
00:40:22,975 --> 00:40:23,889
He came to me, he left,

905
00:40:23,889 --> 00:40:28,840
"Man, you sure don't play
like a girl," and I'm like,

906
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,203
and I'm sure my face is like,

907
00:40:31,203 --> 00:40:33,183
"What does that mean?"

908
00:40:33,183 --> 00:40:35,100
And he left, this was the best part, he left,

909
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:38,086
"No, no, I mean you don't play like a vagina," you know?

910
00:40:38,086 --> 00:40:41,480
And I like, and you
know, like, I will,

911
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,740
no, I just said, "Well, thank you."

912
00:40:43,740 --> 00:40:46,681
- I noticed when I was on tour,
most of the bands we played,

913
00:40:46,681 --> 00:40:50,848
if there is a woman in the
band, she might sing.

914
00:40:51,823 --> 00:40:52,656
- [Eric] Mm-hmm.

915
00:40:52,656 --> 00:40:56,882
- Beautiful, annoying,
it's so sad, huh?

916
00:40:56,882 --> 00:40:59,819
And I don't know why that happened.

917
00:40:59,819 --> 00:41:01,977
- Um, I really have a healthy man  take a separate microphone
and show how it works.

918
00:41:01,977 --> 00:41:05,633


919
00:41:05,633 --> 00:41:09,317
Yes, I have appeared
since I was seven,

920
00:41:09,317 --> 00:41:12,106
and he's like, "Oh, look at
to you blonde blonde girl.

921
00:41:12,106 --> 00:41:13,552
" You obviously don't know what you are doing
,

922
00:41:13,552 --> 00:41:16,021
"let me show you how the microphone works."

923
00:41:16,021 --> 00:41:19,535
- Like I definitely used
to get a lot, like,

924
00:41:19,535 --> 00:41:22,248
You know, "Ooh, it's full of
packages," or just,

925
00:41:22,248 --> 00:41:25,354
whatever, just a comment about
My appearance when I was young.

926
00:41:25,354 --> 00:41:28,710
Now I'm in my 40s, it's very liberating,

927
00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:30,596
because I don't

928
00:41:30,596 --> 00:41:32,745
more seen as sexual objects,

929
00:41:32,745 --> 00:41:35,481
and that's great!
(Eric laughs)

930
00:41:35,481 --> 00:41:37,514
This, like, is really amazing!

931
00:41:37,514 --> 00:41:40,037
- So these are things that, um, white people

932
00:41:40,037 --> 00:41:42,347
has told me at the Pocket Vinyl exhibition.

933
00:41:42,347 --> 00:41:45,573
Admit that God isn't a woman, she's a man.

934
00:41:45,573 --> 00:41:47,085
I thought you were going to paint a gerbil,

935
00:41:47,085 --> 00:41:49,990
but you paint tigers, you
should be painted gerbils.

936
00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:51,885
As a merchant girl, you can sit there.

937
00:41:51,885 --> 00:41:54,433
You are not in the band because
You don't play a musical instrument.

938
00:41:54,433 --> 00:41:57,832
Wow, you sell it, I will never pay that much for a painting!

939
00:41:57,832 --> 00:42:00,835
Paint my friend, paint the penis, paint me!

940
00:42:00,835 --> 00:42:02,133
Do you disagree that the government

941
00:42:02,133 --> 00:42:04,740
have to put everyone to sleep
who is weak or disabled?

942
00:42:04,740 --> 00:42:06,827
You know what you should do
do, you have to go around

943
00:42:06,827 --> 00:42:09,297
and ask everyone if they think you should paint.

944
00:42:09,297 --> 00:42:10,481
Do you know what you have to do?

945
00:42:10,481 --> 00:42:12,056
You must change all of your settings.

946
00:42:12,056 --> 00:42:13,078
Do you know what you have to do?

947
00:42:13,078 --> 00:42:14,547
You have to paint different things.

948
00:42:14,547 --> 00:42:15,568
Do you know what you have to do?

949
00:42:15,568 --> 00:42:17,164
You must try to market yourself better.

950
00:42:17,164 --> 00:42:19,155
You know what you have to do,
You know what you have to do,

951
00:42:19,155 --> 00:42:21,438
You know what you have to do,
do you know what you have to do?

952
00:42:21,438 --> 00:42:23,914
I like most of you
art, but not this part.

953
00:42:23,914 --> 00:42:26,362
- [Eric] Nobody ever said
like that to me.

954
00:42:26,362 --> 00:42:28,385
(Elizabeth laughs)

955
00:42:28,385 --> 00:42:30,718
They are all nice to me.
(Elizabeth laughs)

956
00:42:30,718 --> 00:42:33,551
(pleasant guitar)

957
00:42:38,369 --> 00:42:42,536
♫ And I said build me
a house in the village

958
00:42:43,661 --> 00:42:47,314
♫ A Bohemian vacation for two people

959
00:42:47,314 --> 00:42:48,440
(squeaky brakes)

960
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,440
(metallic collision)

961
00:42:54,367 --> 00:42:55,623
Geez!

962
00:42:55,623 --> 00:42:56,456
- [Elizabeth] Can you see something?

963
00:42:56,456 --> 00:42:58,199
- [Eric] The light bulb falls!

964
00:42:58,199 --> 00:42:59,032
- [Elizabeth] Their cart is here.

965
00:42:59,032 --> 00:43:01,176
- Therefore, yes, the light falls.

966
00:43:01,176 --> 00:43:05,343
Hi, sorry, we have, uh, part of our
bumper like, melting,

967
00:43:07,041 --> 00:43:10,850
and, like, black and we
are not so sure why,

968
00:43:10,850 --> 00:43:15,608
but then one of the bottom
flood lights, I guess,

969
00:43:15,608 --> 00:43:18,169
falls from the socket.
- Oh, short?

970
00:43:18,169 --> 00:43:20,994
- Yes, or somehow, but that's kind of,

971
00:43:20,994 --> 00:43:24,483
difficult to reach and
very hot now, so.

972
00:43:24,483 --> 00:43:25,919
Hey, I'm glad we
know what that is.

973
00:43:25,919 --> 00:43:28,244
(bell slamming)

974
00:43:28,244 --> 00:43:31,943
♫ My wife goes there,
she is the center of my life  ♫ And he brings us
babies with new tattoos

975
00:43:31,943 --> 00:43:36,373
♫ And I said build me
a house in the village

976
00:43:36,373 --> 00:43:39,557
(Laughter) We paid $ 47
for this hotel room.

977
00:43:39,557 --> 00:43:43,724


978
00:43:44,761 --> 00:43:48,433
Let's look at all those things
for this worth $ 47.

979
00:43:48,433 --> 00:43:52,288
Look at all these stains, what is that?

980
00:43:52,288 --> 00:43:55,205
Shampoo, soap, blood, nobody knows!

981
00:43:57,345 --> 00:44:00,336
This ceramic floor is very good
in some kind of school.

982
00:44:00,336 --> 00:44:04,456
The towels are good
and 50-grade sandpaper.

983
00:44:04,456 --> 00:44:06,497
- There is a dog running
up and down the hallway

984
00:44:06,497 --> 00:44:09,052
barking, like, at six o'clock in the morning.

985
00:44:09,052 --> 00:44:11,302
- Oh, oop, it's a hole!

986
00:44:13,300 --> 00:44:15,946
Maybe because of
cigarettes, I don't know.

987
00:44:15,946 --> 00:44:17,266
- I hear babies crying,

988
00:44:17,266 --> 00:44:19,898
and I heard someone yell at the baby.

989
00:44:19,898 --> 00:44:22,899
- [Eric] We think they just stain  and not made after the bed sheet has been put on the bed.

990
00:44:22,899 --> 00:44:26,678
There must be, like,

991
00:44:26,678 --> 00:44:28,232
the smell of cigarette smoke on the bed.

992
00:44:28,232 --> 00:44:31,067
The picture is good.

993
00:44:31,067 --> 00:44:32,927
Let's see the window, oh, what is that?

994
00:44:32,927 --> 00:44:34,983
Oh-ho-ho, hole in the window?

995
00:44:34,983 --> 00:44:37,657


996
00:44:37,657 --> 00:44:40,406
- [Elizabeth] Geez!
(Eric laughs)

997
00:44:40,406 --> 00:44:43,057
- It just makes it
I feel safe all!

998
00:44:43,057 --> 00:44:45,250
I think it's safe to say that it's worth it  every penny from
$ 47, 100 percent.

999
00:44:45,250 --> 00:44:48,917
- My last two paintings,
almost paid for this.

1000
00:44:49,912 --> 00:44:51,924
(Eric laughs)

1001
00:44:51,924 --> 00:44:54,424
- I've stayed in some very good hotels,

1002
00:44:56,875 --> 00:44:59,430
I really live there
Airbnbs are good (clears throat),

1003
00:44:59,430 --> 00:45:01,772
and I also stayed here
some really scary hotels

1004
00:45:01,772 --> 00:45:04,359
and Airbnbs are really scary.

1005
00:45:04,359 --> 00:45:06,723
- When I ordered a tour, I tried
to hit it very deliberately

1006
00:45:06,723 --> 00:45:11,341
the place where I have people.

1007
00:45:11,341 --> 00:45:13,173
- You know, like that, I'll do it
Have friends to live with,

1008
00:45:13,173 --> 00:45:15,004
and it will be, like,
a small piece of home,

1009
00:45:15,004 --> 00:45:17,060


1010
00:45:17,060 --> 00:45:19,221
not just staying at the motel every night  by looking at Friends.

1011
00:45:19,221 --> 00:45:20,922
- Anyway and anywhere,
from hotel to van,

1012
00:45:20,922 --> 00:45:24,154
to friends' houses to tents, campsites--

1013
00:45:24,154 --> 00:45:28,209
- [Eric] Do you have your own tent?

1014
00:45:28,209 --> 00:45:29,608
- Oh yes, of course.

1015
00:45:29,608 --> 00:45:31,563
- And I also live on several floors

1016
00:45:31,563 --> 00:45:33,416
that you swear they will never be able to

1017
00:45:33,416 --> 00:45:35,395
has a vacuum cleaner running it.

1018
00:45:35,395 --> 00:45:37,333
- There is no guarantee
has a place to live.

1019
00:45:37,333 --> 00:45:39,025
That, I think, is one of the most difficult things for people  to understand about doing a DIY tour

1020
00:45:39,025 --> 00:45:41,601
what is it, it seems crazy to others,

1021
00:45:41,601 --> 00:45:44,242
You will only appear on shows,

1022
00:45:44,242 --> 00:45:46,702
and sometimes the promoter is pretty good

1023
00:45:46,702 --> 00:45:48,323
to offer us a place
stay, and another time,

1024
00:45:48,323 --> 00:45:50,392


1025
00:45:50,392 --> 00:45:52,547


1026
00:45:52,547 --> 00:45:54,285
we just went up
uppercase on the microphone,

1027
00:45:54,285 --> 00:45:55,208
like, "Hey, you know, we are looking for

1028
00:45:55,208 --> 00:45:57,230
" for the place to stay tonight,
we are not unruly guests.

1029
00:45:57,230 --> 00:45:58,423
You know, "we will wash your dishes,"

1030
00:45:58,423 --> 00:46:00,018
"We will do your duty," you know?

1031
00:46:00,018 --> 00:46:02,094
We have never really been
without someone who is good enough

1032
00:46:02,094 --> 00:46:04,799
to offer us a place
stay and that's a thing

1033
00:46:04,799 --> 00:46:06,544
what surprised me the most about that,

1034
00:46:06,544 --> 00:46:09,122
and that's the thing
makes me really, I guess,

1035
00:46:09,122 --> 00:46:12,233
believe it and, uh, still do it.

1036
00:46:12,233 --> 00:46:14,433
- [Eric] There's a lot of
from foreigners we met  on our show for years
that generously offered us

1037
00:46:14,433 --> 00:46:17,414
place to stay for the night.

1038
00:46:17,414 --> 00:46:19,454


1039
00:46:19,454 --> 00:46:22,697
Sometimes, it's a sofa,
sometimes, it's the floor.

1040
00:46:22,697 --> 00:46:26,665
Sometimes, it is all guests
home and king size bed.

1041
00:46:26,665 --> 00:46:29,434
We often play shows
starting at 10 pm,

1042
00:46:29,434 --> 00:46:32,194
and don't know where
we will sleep that night,

1043
00:46:32,194 --> 00:46:33,993
only approached by someone  with a good heart and empty space.

1044
00:46:33,993 --> 00:46:36,485
- Many times, it's
people, they're like,

1045
00:46:36,485 --> 00:46:38,114
"Come to my house,
I have several beer boxes,

1046
00:46:38,114 --> 00:46:40,382
" And I will cook you a full meal

1047
00:46:40,382 --> 00:46:42,470
"and breakfast tomorrow morning."

1048
00:46:42,470 --> 00:46:44,289
OK, OK, yes, that sounds fantastic.

1049
00:46:44,289 --> 00:46:47,313
- I don't fully buy
into 100 percent karma,

1050
00:46:47,313 --> 00:46:50,526
but I'm on a tour,
so I want to think

1051
00:46:50,526 --> 00:46:53,065
that to a certain extent, this will
returns finally

1052
00:46:53,065 --> 00:46:56,259


1053
00:46:56,259 --> 00:46:59,378
when I'm on the road
next, but really, like,

1054
00:46:59,378 --> 00:47:00,756
it started a few years ago.

1055
00:47:00,756 --> 00:47:03,248
I used to do this for people

1056
00:47:03,248 --> 00:47:07,602
just because I'm big
their music fans,

1057
00:47:07,602 --> 00:47:09,978
and then it stops being a condition.

1058
00:47:09,978 --> 00:47:12,265
I just started feeling a lot of compassion for the touring band  and want to do what I can

1059
00:47:12,265 --> 00:47:13,832
to help people do what they do, you know?

1060
00:47:13,832 --> 00:47:15,516
- [Eric] Yes, thank you very much  only invites us.

1061
00:47:15,516 --> 00:47:16,633
People like you who help
we survive on the road, so.

1062
00:47:16,633 --> 00:47:18,800
- [James] Nice to do it.

1063
00:47:19,923 --> 00:47:24,090
♫ Walking along the beautiful streets, I rolled

1064
00:47:25,058 --> 00:47:26,443
♫ The colors in the trees this fall

1065
00:47:26,443 --> 00:47:30,360
♫ We rolled

1066
00:47:31,426 --> 00:47:35,876
♫ To the sunset at night

1067
00:47:35,876 --> 00:47:38,043


1068
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,479


1069
00:47:43,479 --> 00:47:47,562
♫ And retired, I didn't go home  ♫ Thinking about
crossing the coastline in summer days

1070
00:47:51,638 --> 00:47:55,805
♫ Their waves hit
and the sun, the endless rays

1071
00:47:56,674 --> 00:48:00,841
♫ But this is not California  ♫ So it's the season, yeah,
they have to change  - [Eric] Here in this church, uh,

1072
00:48:06,249 --> 00:48:08,594
French Quarter in New Orleans.

1073
00:48:08,594 --> 00:48:12,789
This is their inventory cabinet,

1074
00:48:12,789 --> 00:48:16,289
where we slept last night.

1075
00:48:17,133 --> 00:48:19,754
- I always do this

1076
00:48:19,754 --> 00:48:22,087
where I will play
shows, then I will say, like,

1077
00:48:23,052 --> 00:48:26,193
"You know, if someone is looking for

1078
00:48:26,193 --> 00:48:28,325
" Customized, married
the man who is preparing for that night,

1079
00:48:28,325 --> 00:48:31,347
"I'm looking for a place."
(Eric chuckles)

1080
00:48:31,347 --> 00:48:33,146
And nine out of 10, it will work.

1081
00:48:33,146 --> 00:48:36,065


1082
00:48:36,065 --> 00:48:38,722


1083
00:48:38,722 --> 00:48:40,373


1084
00:48:40,373 --> 00:48:44,024
Someone will offer a
sofa or spare bedroom, so.

1085
00:48:44,024 --> 00:48:46,963
- Right, I sleep in my truck, I have,

1086
00:48:46,963 --> 00:48:49,283
I have an air mattress and
thermal sleeping bag,

1087
00:48:49,283 --> 00:48:51,680
and, uh, I chose to tour, you know,

1088
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,235
like Ontario in January, that's smart.

1089
00:48:55,235 --> 00:48:57,238
- [Eric] Daniel Amedee is another musician

1090
00:48:57,238 --> 00:48:59,339
we randomly met on the road this year

1091
00:48:59,339 --> 00:49:02,774
who toured, slept, and
finally stayed on the verhicle.

1092
00:49:02,774 --> 00:49:04,929
- [Elizabeth] It seems like
you are transporting people

1093
00:49:04,929 --> 00:49:07,285
from getting a prostitute.

1094
00:49:07,285 --> 00:49:08,156
- [Daniel] I know, right.

1095
00:49:08,156 --> 00:49:11,900
Look, this is like two sleeping
pads, can you see them?

1096
00:49:11,900 --> 00:49:14,083
- [Eric] Two sleeping pads and,

1097
00:49:14,083 --> 00:49:15,041
and you sleep there?

1098
00:49:15,041 --> 00:49:15,874
- [Daniel] Somewhere.

1099
00:49:15,874 --> 00:49:17,662
- [Eric] Oh, that's not it
is too bad, but look, we're just,

1100
00:49:17,662 --> 00:49:20,654
we only, our captain
seat just fold back.

1101
00:49:20,654 --> 00:49:21,973
You can at least lie down.

1102
00:49:21,973 --> 00:49:23,707
- That's terrible, I've been there.

1103
00:49:23,707 --> 00:49:26,771
I toured for two years
a girl in a Ford Focus.

1104
00:49:26,771 --> 00:49:29,562
- [Eric] Yes (chuckles)?
- Does not end well.

1105
00:49:29,562 --> 00:49:31,171
- [Eric] It's sweet, man,

1106
00:49:31,171 --> 00:49:33,690
and you only, you
got, like, you only paid for it,

1107
00:49:33,690 --> 00:49:35,759
do monthly payments, or?

1108
00:49:35,759 --> 00:49:37,154
- [Daniel] 330 a month.

1109
00:49:37,154 --> 00:49:39,210
- [Eric] It's not bad!

1110
00:49:39,210 --> 00:49:40,232
- This is just my overhead.

1111
00:49:40,232 --> 00:49:41,372
That's the way I think about it.

1112
00:49:41,372 --> 00:49:43,645
If, like, this is my job, if I can't do it

1113
00:49:43,645 --> 00:49:48,010
at least $ 330 a month,
what am i doing, you know?

1114
00:49:48,010 --> 00:49:48,914
- [Eric] Yes, so you don't have, like,

1115
00:49:48,914 --> 00:49:50,875
there are no apartments or anything, only.

1116
00:49:50,875 --> 00:49:51,848
- No.

1117
00:49:51,848 --> 00:49:52,681
- [Eric] Only this.

1118
00:49:52,681 --> 00:49:55,764
♫ Or out of town

1119
00:50:00,161 --> 00:50:01,783
♫ Why can't you see

1120
00:50:01,783 --> 00:50:04,273
Want to sleep at the hotel?

1121
00:50:04,273 --> 00:50:05,106
- [Elizabeth] I don't know,

1122
00:50:05,106 --> 00:50:07,320
I just don't want to spend that much.

1123
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,650
- This is only 30 dollars.

1124
00:50:09,650 --> 00:50:11,873
- [Elizabeth] Yes, there will be taxes.

1125
00:50:11,873 --> 00:50:14,564
- Eh, yes, it will be, like, 32.

1126
00:50:14,564 --> 00:50:17,626
(sighs) No, I, yes, I don't know.

1127
00:50:17,626 --> 00:50:19,922
I mean, like, almost one.

1128
00:50:19,922 --> 00:50:21,505
- [Elizabeth] Yes.

1129
00:50:22,967 --> 00:50:25,996
- You just want to go to Walmart?

1130
00:50:25,996 --> 00:50:27,600
- Mm, maybe.

1131
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,600
♫ One day when I reached 35 years

1132
00:50:34,028 --> 00:50:37,361
♫ I drive my car

1133
00:50:38,361 --> 00:50:41,343
♫ Go directly to L.A.

1134
00:50:41,343 --> 00:50:45,004
Sleeping in a car for our
is far more ideal.

1135
00:50:45,004 --> 00:50:47,653
It's in the front seat,
in the sleeping bag,

1136
00:50:47,653 --> 00:50:51,506
usually in Walmart parking
use a lot of Walmart bathrooms,

1137
00:50:51,506 --> 00:50:54,024
and hope nobody pays attention to us  or knock on the window when we sleep.

1138
00:50:54,024 --> 00:50:57,357
Are you okay?

1139
00:50:59,319 --> 00:51:00,152
- I'm sorry.

1140
00:51:09,842 --> 00:51:10,842
I almost drove
the way (cleared my throat).

1141
00:51:12,994 --> 00:51:15,749
I'm fine, I'm really tired  just a few minutes ago before we arrived here.

1142
00:51:15,749 --> 00:51:18,526
I'm sorry.

1143
00:51:18,526 --> 00:51:22,026
- In the blink of an eye,
we will watch this recording,

1144
00:51:23,131 --> 00:51:23,964
and we will be far from here,

1145
00:51:37,372 --> 00:51:41,539
but now, it seems so extraordinary.

1146
00:51:43,768 --> 00:51:46,758
But only, like that,
we will be on the TV screen.

1147
00:51:46,758 --> 00:51:50,091
(Elizabeth laughs)

1148
00:51:52,602 --> 00:51:56,211
- [Elizabeth] We will see our names in stars!

1149
00:51:56,211 --> 00:51:58,252


1150
00:51:58,252 --> 00:52:01,681


1151
00:52:01,681 --> 00:52:03,927
- [Eric] How do you sleep?

1152
00:52:03,927 --> 00:52:06,618
- I don't feel like that
for most of the night.

1153
00:52:06,618 --> 00:52:08,162
- [Eric] So, are you sleeping well?

1154
00:52:08,162 --> 00:52:11,305
- I sleep well, yeah, like
As far as I remember.

1155
00:52:11,305 --> 00:52:12,769
- [Eric] Do you sleep OK?

1156
00:52:12,769 --> 00:52:14,559
- [Elizabeth] No.

1157
00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:16,546
♫ You got it James Dean

1158
00:52:16,546 --> 00:52:20,005
♫ Charlie Sheen looks at your eyes  ♫ You have that Ree

1159
00:52:20,005 --> 00:52:21,187
- [Elizabeth] Take the key out!

1160
00:52:21,187 --> 00:52:22,174
This is all dingy-ding.

1161
00:52:22,174 --> 00:52:23,868
And take your money,
Don't waste money.

1162
00:52:23,868 --> 00:52:26,526
And get a job already!
(Eric laughs)

1163
00:52:26,526 --> 00:52:29,768
- Shut up, Mom!

1164
00:52:29,768 --> 00:52:30,976
It's an adventure, isn't it?

1165
00:52:30,976 --> 00:52:32,721
- Adventure time!

1166
00:52:32,721 --> 00:52:33,554
- [Eric] We're happy to be here, right?

1167
00:52:33,554 --> 00:52:34,786
♫ Adventure time, come
and take your friend

1168
00:52:34,786 --> 00:52:38,066
- You are not me!

1169
00:52:38,066 --> 00:52:39,399


1170
00:52:41,325 --> 00:52:43,072
You must love what I do!

1171
00:52:43,072 --> 00:52:45,460
Go to sleep, fully clothed!

1172
00:52:45,460 --> 00:52:48,127
People, people think we are good!

1173
00:52:49,223 --> 00:52:51,358
You have never been a good mother!

1174
00:52:51,358 --> 00:52:55,263
- I haven't put my face on, Eric!

1175
00:52:55,263 --> 00:52:56,751
I'm an artist, you--

1176
00:52:56,751 --> 00:52:58,806
- I'm an artist, Mom!

1177
00:52:58,806 --> 00:53:01,831
I am an art (sobbing)!

1178
00:53:01,831 --> 00:53:02,664
- [Elizabeth] Do you want to remain

1179
00:53:02,664 --> 00:53:03,979
stockings out for lunch?

1180
00:53:03,979 --> 00:53:06,266
- I don't want to keep the stockings, Mom!

1181
00:53:06,266 --> 00:53:07,649
- That's our life!

1182
00:53:07,649 --> 00:53:11,439
- [Eric] (laugh), do you
hope we go home?

1183
00:53:11,439 --> 00:53:14,495
(Pleasant acoustic guitar with vocals)

1184
00:53:14,495 --> 00:53:16,752
- I haven't really thought about it lately.

1185
00:53:16,752 --> 00:53:18,374
- I would say it's good, huh.

1186
00:53:18,374 --> 00:53:20,374
You guys, this is great!

1187
00:53:21,492 --> 00:53:24,737
Remember that a $ 47 hotel
is just bullshit?

1188
00:53:24,737 --> 00:53:26,888
- Damn it in Wichita?

1189
00:53:26,888 --> 00:53:27,748
- [Eric] That's the worst!

1190
00:53:27,748 --> 00:53:28,963
- It's more expensive than this.

1191
00:53:28,963 --> 00:53:32,046
- Look at this, this is $ 37 for this!

1192
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,419
This is strange,
(Elizabeth screaming)

1193
00:53:36,419 --> 00:53:38,237
This is $ 10 cheaper!

1194
00:53:38,237 --> 00:53:40,281
Look, something
over, and like, to hang,

1195
00:53:40,281 --> 00:53:43,222
and look at this mirror,
Hey, what happens to men?

1196
00:53:43,222 --> 00:53:44,500
And there is a good picture.

1197
00:53:44,500 --> 00:53:45,963
Here, look, it's like a bathroom part

1198
00:53:45,963 --> 00:53:47,685
separated from this other section,

1199
00:53:47,685 --> 00:53:49,296
which I know some
nonsense hotels have two,

1200
00:53:49,296 --> 00:53:51,197
but it looks fancy here.

1201
00:53:51,197 --> 00:53:53,452
Elizabeth, I'm really excited!

1202
00:53:53,452 --> 00:53:55,356
- This is very good, I want to stay here.

1203
00:53:55,356 --> 00:53:58,601
- Hairdryer, dry my hair, I think.

1204
00:53:58,601 --> 00:54:01,432
This looks like a fancier
things from what I've seen before.

1205
00:54:01,432 --> 00:54:02,614
Look, there are four pillows,

1206
00:54:02,614 --> 00:54:04,443
and they are all like spooning!

1207
00:54:04,443 --> 00:54:06,999
- Shh, we are at the hotel.

1208
00:54:06,999 --> 00:54:08,541
- [Eric] I'm just excited.
- WELL.

1209
00:54:08,541 --> 00:54:12,124
(Pleasant acoustic guitar)

1210
00:54:14,319 --> 00:54:18,486
(rhythmic and fun rock music)

1211
00:54:29,740 --> 00:54:32,663
- [Eric] Whatever you
family of people think

1212
00:54:32,663 --> 00:54:35,430
from doing the artist thing?

1213
00:54:35,430 --> 00:54:36,263
- Um--

1214
00:54:36,263 --> 00:54:38,430
- [Eric] Do they support,
are they, I mean--

1215
00:54:38,430 --> 00:54:41,292
- I think they have
been quite supportive for--

1216
00:54:41,292 --> 00:54:42,197
- Mm, sure.

1217
00:54:42,197 --> 00:54:46,151
- Because it's completely
contrary to what we want to do,

1218
00:54:46,151 --> 00:54:48,152
I think they are patient, you know.

1219
00:54:48,152 --> 00:54:50,061
That's all you can really ask for.

1220
00:54:50,061 --> 00:54:52,768
- I'm an only child, so it's not like--

1221
00:54:52,768 --> 00:54:54,301
- [Eric] Nothing big
disappointment or anything?

1222
00:54:54,301 --> 00:54:55,590
- No, no, no, not at all, not,

1223
00:54:55,590 --> 00:54:56,804
and mainly because, I think,

1224
00:54:56,804 --> 00:54:59,050
sometimes like, "Oh, you
do you," you know,

1225
00:54:59,050 --> 00:55:01,039
"He will go to law school
and him," you know.

1226
00:55:01,039 --> 00:55:03,331
For me, it was my parents
like, "Yes, do it!"

1227
00:55:03,331 --> 00:55:04,185
- I would say that, you know,

1228
00:55:04,185 --> 00:55:06,333
my family definitely supports it.

1229
00:55:06,333 --> 00:55:08,067
They rather believe what I'm doing.

1230
00:55:08,067 --> 00:55:10,651
- This must be glorified, they are like,

1231
00:55:10,651 --> 00:55:12,768
"Oh, when will you go on tour again?"

1232
00:55:12,768 --> 00:55:16,406
and I like, "Oh, I
went for two weeks here, " and I have an event here, a
show there, show here. "

1233
00:55:16,406 --> 00:55:20,280
They just think that, like,
_ Leon's poor kings.

1234
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,447
- My brother said, actually, once,

1235
00:55:34,098 --> 00:55:37,017
I tried giving him a CD and he said,

1236
00:55:37,017 --> 00:55:38,916


1237
00:55:38,916 --> 00:55:39,842
"Yes, that's not true

1238
00:55:39,842 --> 00:55:42,069
" the type of music I like to
listen to, "and I'm like--

1239
00:55:42,069 --> 00:55:42,902
- [Eric] Your brother said that?

1240
00:55:42,902 --> 00:55:43,832
- Yes, my brother said that,

1241
00:55:43,832 --> 00:55:46,961
"That's cool, friend, I understand."
(Eric laughs)

1242
00:55:46,961 --> 00:55:48,408
But, for the most part, they have,

1243
00:55:48,408 --> 00:55:49,560
You know, are super supportive.

1244
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,423
- Now they see that, you know,

1245
00:55:52,423 --> 00:55:55,340
= = what I do more here, eh,

1246
00:55:56,482 --> 00:55:58,680
it's definitely something they will do

1247
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,808
cheer up a little
better, but they are like,

1248
00:56:00,808 --> 00:56:02,309
"You have to get a job," and I agree.

1249
00:56:02,309 --> 00:56:06,231
= = I, like, I definitely have to have something to support it.  - They will think something is wrong,

1250
00:56:06,231 --> 00:56:07,619
if I don't do something
it's amazing.  (Eric laughs)

1251
00:56:07,619 --> 00:56:10,543
So, I got it!

1252
00:56:10,543 --> 00:56:11,963


1253
00:56:11,963 --> 00:56:13,630


1254
00:56:13,630 --> 00:56:15,664
- One thing my dad always told me  does he pull me aside when
I'm making a decision

1255
00:56:15,664 --> 00:56:17,782
and, like, go to college,

1256
00:56:17,782 --> 00:56:19,057
like really learning it
and making a living for it,

1257
00:56:19,057 --> 00:56:22,168
he goes, "You understand,
but you have to be able to " To put a roof over your head. "

1258
00:56:22,168 --> 00:56:24,648
That's all he says, like, you
must be able to, you know,

1259
00:56:24,648 --> 00:56:26,504
place the roof above you
head and eat alone.

1260
00:56:26,504 --> 00:56:28,902
Get food on the table, that's all.  - And they might
some of the most supportive

1261
00:56:28,902 --> 00:56:30,645
of all those people, you know,

1262
00:56:30,645 --> 00:56:32,399
involved in what what we did.  And even my dad came out for three days

1263
00:56:32,399 --> 00:56:34,873
on the first tour we did,

1264
00:56:34,873 --> 00:56:37,372


1265
00:56:37,372 --> 00:56:39,020


1266
00:56:39,020 --> 00:56:41,113


1267
00:56:41,113 --> 00:56:43,218


1268
00:56:43,218 --> 00:56:45,648
and, like, hanging out for a weekend with one of his friends.

1269
00:56:45,648 --> 00:56:47,960
I mean, that's cool, that's cool.

1270
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,838
- So they are, they
think it's really cool

1271
00:56:49,838 --> 00:56:54,526
Because they don't understand
how do we understand it, you know?

1272
00:56:54,526 --> 00:56:56,687
And, you know, I fudge
around things, like,

1273
00:56:56,687 --> 00:56:58,974
"Oh, yes," you know,
"The last tour was amazing."

1274
00:56:58,974 --> 00:57:00,224
I make $ 10 and,

1275
00:57:02,121 --> 00:57:05,695
You know, I left for three weeks.

1276
00:57:05,695 --> 00:57:06,528
(Eric laughs)

1277
00:57:06,528 --> 00:57:08,528
- I thought initially, um,

1278
00:57:09,878 --> 00:57:13,870
our mind how long can you do this, you know?

1279
00:57:13,870 --> 00:57:18,599
You are exposed to thousands of
miles on the road,

1280
00:57:18,599 --> 00:57:20,514
all kinds of weather, you know,

1281
00:57:20,514 --> 00:57:23,565
in, sometimes, some places are uncertain.

1282
00:57:23,565 --> 00:57:27,239
Worrying a little about you
People will be robbed at night.

1283
00:57:27,239 --> 00:57:29,350
You know, they're all
personal security issues

1284
00:57:29,350 --> 00:57:32,017
which I think, as parents, we, you know,

1285
00:57:32,017 --> 00:57:33,964
clear, we are concerned.

1286
00:57:33,964 --> 00:57:37,551
- The fact that, you know,
you appear in the bar

1287
00:57:37,551 --> 00:57:40,050
and people get drunk and do stupid things,

1288
00:57:40,050 --> 00:57:42,078
So, yes, that's my business.

1289
00:57:42,078 --> 00:57:44,449
Still, still,

1290
00:57:44,449 --> 00:57:47,984
when you travel,
um, and you go to town

1291
00:57:47,984 --> 00:57:49,983
and places that you have never visited before,

1292
00:57:49,983 --> 00:57:52,517
and there are some beautiful
freaks out there.

1293
00:57:52,517 --> 00:57:55,551
- You know, we are like, yes,
we hope that everything goes smoothly,

1294
00:57:55,551 --> 00:57:58,732
but we don't, like, "Ouch, they
have to change their lifestyle

1295
00:57:58,732 --> 00:58:02,083
" Because this doesn't work, "
that never occurred to me.

1296
00:58:02,083 --> 00:58:03,116
- [Eric] No?
- No. = - no.

1297
00:58:03,116 --> 00:58:03,949


1298
00:58:03,949 --> 00:58:08,281
- I'm a little more
feeling from father, maybe,

1299
00:58:08,281 --> 00:58:09,930
"Hey, this is your life time " to try something like this,
if you will do it at all. "

1300
00:58:09,930 --> 00:58:13,925
You are less burdened by
responsibilities of all types,

1301
00:58:13,925 --> 00:58:18,836
of all types besides you
responsibility of each other.

1302
00:58:18,836 --> 00:58:22,927
- You know, I wonder how you will  survive financially ,
that, but, and that,

1303
00:58:22,927 --> 00:58:24,588
I realize that's how my parents

1304
00:58:24,588 --> 00:58:28,505
when, you know, we tell them

1305
00:58:30,881 --> 00:58:33,558
that we will be
missionaries, you know.

1306
00:58:33,558 --> 00:58:35,565
- When you start, you are younger,

1307
00:58:35,565 --> 00:58:38,068
and stupid will not
be a term, but naive.

1308
00:58:38,068 --> 00:58:39,949
- Inexperienced.

1309
00:58:39,949 --> 00:58:44,194
- A little naive,
uh, what will happen

1310
00:58:44,194 --> 00:58:45,261
for the long term, I think
You have grown into it,

1311
00:58:45,261 --> 00:58:47,919


1312
00:58:47,919 --> 00:58:50,720


1313
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,295
(clears throat) and, uh, good or not

1314
00:58:55,295 --> 00:58:57,894
You already thought about it
40 years at the end of the road

1315
00:58:57,894 --> 00:59:00,063
for you and what that means,

1316
00:59:00,063 --> 00:59:03,630
I don't know, but I think
You will find your way there.

1317
00:59:03,630 --> 00:59:07,297
- I'm grateful that
Beth has found someone  who, um, together, you will pursue your creativity  or you, um,

1318
00:59:08,323 --> 00:59:12,490
the gifts and abilities you have.

1319
00:59:14,654 --> 00:59:15,654
That you will not try to adjust  or turning Beth into something
is not her.

1320
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,975
- I know since you were three years old

1321
00:59:19,975 --> 00:59:22,476
that you are an entertainer at heart.

1322
00:59:22,476 --> 00:59:27,390
You entertain everyone
in a different way,

1323
00:59:27,390 --> 00:59:30,491
and the music, I will never
forget to be in a basketball game

1324
00:59:30,491 --> 00:59:33,001
in the gym, and when they
have this little band playing,

1325
00:59:33,001 --> 00:59:36,807


1326
00:59:36,807 --> 00:59:39,932


1327
00:59:39,932 --> 00:59:43,531


1328
00:59:43,531 --> 00:59:48,043
You know, you will
rockin & apos; go with a tap,

1329
00:59:48,043 --> 00:59:52,555
like a child who really
can do it, pull it.

1330
00:59:52,555 --> 00:59:56,322
- I want to say I'm a fan, and I am,

1331
00:59:56,322 --> 00:59:57,672
You know, every time in
for a while, you tell me,

1332
00:59:57,672 --> 00:59:59,705
"Oh, this perfect stranger
will only come to me

1333
00:59:59,705 --> 01:00:02,674
" and say, we love you
music, we like your shows, "

1334
01:00:02,674 --> 01:00:05,924
and, um, I have grown to love your music,

1335
01:00:07,723 --> 01:00:11,666
and I always like Elizabeth art,

1336
01:00:11,666 --> 01:00:13,710
and I appreciate it not only because

1337
01:00:13,710 --> 01:00:18,031
You are a family member, but
for its intrinsic value.

1338
01:00:18,031 --> 01:00:20,159
- Yes, we like to go to your show.

1339
01:00:20,159 --> 01:00:20,992
- [Eric ] Okay, good.  - So much closer to us and
some in Canada (laugh).

1340
01:00:20,992 --> 01:00:24,632
- When I listen to
the lyrics you write

1341
01:00:24,632 --> 01:00:27,667


1342
01:00:27,667 --> 01:00:30,904
and the music, I'm very proud of you,

1343
01:00:30,904 --> 01:00:35,031
because I feel like you
heart for what's important.

1344
01:00:35,031 --> 01:00:36,807
- When we are on the show, it's not like,

1345
01:00:36,807 --> 01:00:41,512
"Aw, yeah, this is Mom and Dad,
back on the show again."

1346
01:00:41,512 --> 01:00:42,969
- We don't hold shows.

1347
01:00:42,969 --> 01:00:44,246
- What should be done by Mom and Dad.

1348
01:00:44,246 --> 01:00:45,905
- We like going to your events.

1349
01:00:45,905 --> 01:00:47,140
- We enjoyed it.

1350
01:00:47,140 --> 01:00:51,887
- We love you, so we
are not biased, right (laugh)?

1351
01:00:51,887 --> 01:00:53,377
(festive snare drum)

1352
01:00:53,377 --> 01:00:54,549
(squeaky brakes)

1353
01:00:54,549 --> 01:00:56,792
(metallic collision)

1354
01:00:56,792 --> 01:00:59,709
- Look at this car, 2002 Nissan Altima,

1355
01:01:00,974 --> 01:01:05,057
that we returned in April,
only six months ago?

1356
01:01:06,678 --> 01:01:11,531
Well, I just took it to try
to get a steady heating,

1357
01:01:11,531 --> 01:01:14,724
Because there is no heat in the car right now,

1358
01:01:14,724 --> 01:01:18,891
and the length of the short story, it's
big, bigger (scoffs),

1359
01:01:21,469 --> 01:01:24,552
a problem that is far greater than anticipated,

1360
01:01:26,219 --> 01:01:28,719
and now, we might go

1361
01:01:30,621 --> 01:01:33,204
have to buy a new car again.

1362
01:01:35,168 --> 01:01:38,668
With money we don't have,

1363
01:01:38,668 --> 01:01:42,335
so it will be (sigh),

1364
01:01:46,948 --> 01:01:47,948
I don't know, I--

1365
01:01:50,529 --> 01:01:51,491
(bell slamming)

1366
01:01:51,491 --> 01:01:54,574
(Driving rock music)

1367
01:02:04,110 --> 01:02:07,044
♫ The top of the mountain is
all sprinkled with bunkers

1368
01:02:07,044 --> 01:02:08,511
♫ And they are wearing sunlight

1369
01:02:08,511 --> 01:02:10,432
♫ That is intrinsically contemplating

1370
01:02:10,432 --> 01:02:12,264
♫ All the clouds are
blocking from the earth

1371
01:02:12,264 --> 01:02:17,212
♫ And if they do it intentionally

1372
01:02:17,212 --> 01:02:20,795
(dramatic, piano boom)

1373
01:02:32,476 --> 01:02:34,392
(sighs) Thank you!

1374
01:02:34,392 --> 01:02:38,225
(cheers and applause)

1375
01:02:44,523 --> 01:02:47,621
Here's what I expect every show like,

1376
01:02:47,621 --> 01:02:50,610
but that's not the problem
for musicians at our level.

1377
01:02:50,610 --> 01:02:52,294
Every night is a different adventure,

1378
01:02:52,294 --> 01:02:54,277
and while each band has a city or two

1379
01:02:54,277 --> 01:02:55,890
where they get followers,

1380
01:02:55,890 --> 01:02:56,933
almost every night you play

1381
01:02:56,933 --> 01:02:59,199
to anyone who happens to be there.

1382
01:02:59,199 --> 01:03:01,990
The size and shape of the
crowd changes every day.

1383
01:03:01,990 --> 01:03:03,547
♫ All the side effects

1384
01:03:03,547 --> 01:03:06,337
♫ I have swollen eyelids
for about one or two weeks

1385
01:03:06,337 --> 01:03:09,572
♫ And you cough up blood for a day

1386
01:03:09,572 --> 01:03:12,316
♫ Well, the healing
process takes longer than

1387
01:03:12,316 --> 01:03:16,117
♫ What we expected

1388
01:03:16,117 --> 01:03:20,054
♫ I don't think it's wise
to live when my brother

1389
01:03:20,054 --> 01:03:23,137
(Driving rock music)

1390
01:03:27,982 --> 01:03:30,865
Every band has great stories
about bad things

1391
01:03:30,865 --> 01:03:33,131
what happens on the road, in fact,

1392
01:03:33,131 --> 01:03:35,719
I have heard so much time
interviewing people,

1393
01:03:35,719 --> 01:03:38,680
we might be able to make
documentaries just about that.

1394
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,521
- Oh, yes, that's part of acting,

1395
01:03:40,521 --> 01:03:42,119
like, soaking wet
themselves in pig's blood

1396
01:03:42,119 --> 01:03:44,322
and start throwing everything there.

1397
01:03:44,322 --> 01:03:47,710
- And put it on it
this little cross member

1398
01:03:47,710 --> 01:03:50,220
and jump from this stage, you know?

1399
01:03:50,220 --> 01:03:52,038
For types, you know, acting
like, hey, I hanged myself.

1400
01:03:52,038 --> 01:03:54,263
Well, the problem is, when he falls,

1401
01:03:54,263 --> 01:03:56,540
he doesn't judge the length of the cable.

1402
01:03:56,540 --> 01:03:58,478
- Place parkin where we are

1403
01:03:58,478 --> 01:04:01,215
for registration are chalk lines,

1404
01:04:01,215 --> 01:04:05,072
and, like, bullets
casing everywhere.

1405
01:04:05,072 --> 01:04:07,605
- Well, he saw us, he took my hand in one hand,

1406
01:04:07,605 --> 01:04:09,841
and Chris's hand in the other hand
like this to shake like this

1407
01:04:09,841 --> 01:04:12,460
and go, "Oh, okay," and walk away,

1408
01:04:12,460 --> 01:04:14,357
so I really want, like, our press quote

1409
01:04:14,357 --> 01:04:16,161
to be like, "Oh, okay,"

1410
01:04:16,161 --> 01:04:18,404
Bernie Sanders to When Particles Collide.

1411
01:04:18,404 --> 01:04:19,614
- And then we go ghost hunting

1412
01:04:19,614 --> 01:04:22,264
because this is a very large large building

1413
01:04:22,264 --> 01:04:25,074
without lights and
there are no people in it except us.

1414
01:04:25,074 --> 01:04:27,202
- There is a one-time razor razor girl

1415
01:04:27,202 --> 01:04:29,502
to his hand and enter the mosh hole

1416
01:04:29,502 --> 01:04:31,854
and just started spinnin & apos;
in a circle.

1417
01:04:31,854 --> 01:04:36,494
- There is a man who
happens to look the same as me,

1418
01:04:36,494 --> 01:04:38,744
um, who runs the Mahdi Army.

1419
01:04:39,851 --> 01:04:40,684
- [Eric] Really?

1420
01:04:40,684 --> 01:04:41,875
- Yes, the name is Moqtada Al-Sadr,

1421
01:04:41,875 --> 01:04:43,500
and I look like him.
(Eric laughs out loud)

1422
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:46,460
- Yes, we definitely
played a biker rally,

1423
01:04:46,460 --> 01:04:48,682
um, it doesn't work well.

1424
01:04:48,682 --> 01:04:50,994
- And then we can see Lou Ferrigno.

1425
01:04:50,994 --> 01:04:54,039
- And then they hit
ledge, and just go into the air  to the interstate that will come
traffic in another way.

1426
01:04:54,039 --> 01:04:57,465
- They leave, and have sex
with their boyfriend hard,

1427
01:04:57,465 --> 01:05:00,424
and then get up and leave

1428
01:05:00,424 --> 01:05:01,372
and buy all breakfast sandwiches.

1429
01:05:01,372 --> 01:05:04,064
- If you will go on tour,

1430
01:05:04,064 --> 01:05:05,798
You will get the story.

1431
01:05:05,798 --> 01:05:08,266
You will do it too
has a lot of bad shows.

1432
01:05:08,266 --> 01:05:11,416
The next one, Bruce Springsteen,

1433
01:05:11,416 --> 01:05:13,734
The boss himself, tweeted about.

1434
01:05:13,734 --> 01:05:16,401
(crowd crowds)

1435
01:05:17,279 --> 01:05:20,375
This next song is one that Barrack Obama

1436
01:05:20,375 --> 01:05:23,708
The word is number two
favorite song 2015.

1437
01:05:25,537 --> 01:05:29,467
- [Onlooker] Woo!

1438
01:05:29,467 --> 01:05:30,884


1439
01:05:32,613 --> 01:05:34,309
- Free beer!

1440
01:05:34,309 --> 01:05:36,907
- [Onlooker] Thank you.

1441
01:05:36,907 --> 01:05:40,289
- Arright, let's continue with our set.

1442
01:05:40,289 --> 01:05:44,372
All right, it will be available soon
starts at Trevor here,

1443
01:05:47,101 --> 01:05:50,481
but some people outside Trevor--

1444
01:05:50,481 --> 01:05:51,591
(Eric laughs)

1445
01:05:51,591 --> 01:05:53,412
- Thank you for the encouragement, Trevor!

1446
01:05:53,412 --> 01:05:57,495
Uh, yes, Elizabeth, we
here, will begin.

1447
01:05:59,118 --> 01:06:03,856
There is Mardis Gras
the parade happened there.

1448
01:06:03,856 --> 01:06:06,606
Look at that, the Mardis Gras parade!

1449
01:06:07,540 --> 01:06:08,773
Pocket Vinyl.

1450
01:06:08,773 --> 01:06:12,940
(Crowds chatter on dramatic piano)

1451
01:06:20,540 --> 01:06:21,581
Thank you.

1452
01:06:21,581 --> 01:06:25,019
(crowd crowds)

1453
01:06:25,019 --> 01:06:26,852
It's okay, just not,

1454
01:06:28,209 --> 01:06:30,751
because there is an outside parade.

1455
01:06:30,751 --> 01:06:33,926
But sometimes, everything points to a terrible night,

1456
01:06:33,926 --> 01:06:35,852
but it turns out amazing.

1457
01:06:35,852 --> 01:06:37,689
How do you feel about tonight's program?

1458
01:06:37,689 --> 01:06:39,791
- Well, I don't think anyone will be there.

1459
01:06:39,791 --> 01:06:40,793
- [Eric] Really?

1460
01:06:40,793 --> 01:06:41,626
- Yes

1461
01:06:42,787 --> 01:06:44,613
- [Eric] This one looks a bit like a house or something.

1462
01:06:44,613 --> 01:06:46,152
Maybe more than a restaurant show,

1463
01:06:46,152 --> 01:06:49,868
the restaurant gigs never went well.

1464
01:06:49,868 --> 01:06:52,920
This is where we play.

1465
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,698
Some people stand
line, an empty table,

1466
01:06:55,698 --> 01:06:58,662
and some people experience
a meeting there.

1467
01:06:58,662 --> 01:07:03,013
Looks like it's pretty
ideal for Pocket Vinyl events!

1468
01:07:03,013 --> 01:07:06,263
(dramatic piano music)

1469
01:07:10,177 --> 01:07:12,113
Previously, there was no one here

1470
01:07:12,113 --> 01:07:13,986
unless this person is here,

1471
01:07:13,986 --> 01:07:15,488
but I, like, show
room and I like,

1472
01:07:15,488 --> 01:07:17,585
"What kind of event is this sometimes,"

1473
01:07:17,585 --> 01:07:19,649
but we will do
little things, you and me,

1474
01:07:19,649 --> 01:07:22,780
where I will direct
the camera myself and say,

1475
01:07:22,780 --> 01:07:25,813
"See who appears," and
then switches to you,

1476
01:07:25,813 --> 01:07:29,673
and everyone just waved
and left, "Hi, okay?

1477
01:07:29,673 --> 01:07:31,673
Hey, see who shows up?

1478
01:07:32,598 --> 01:07:33,681
- [Crowd] Hi!

1479
01:07:35,227 --> 01:07:38,642
- [Eric] Any, interp, whatever
interpretation or anything?

1480
01:07:38,642 --> 01:07:39,700
Who wants--

1481
01:07:39,700 --> 01:07:40,765
- [Man] Um, it looks like a lot

1482
01:07:40,765 --> 01:07:42,892
like something I've seen before.

1483
01:07:42,892 --> 01:07:44,960
Ah, I know what it looks like, actually,

1484
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:46,717
and I will not say what it looks like,

1485
01:07:46,717 --> 01:07:48,534
because it's, like, not
something you do for an artist

1486
01:07:48,534 --> 01:07:49,769
say it like other artists--

1487
01:07:49,769 --> 01:07:51,216
- [Eric] Oh, yeah, smart!

1488
01:07:51,216 --> 01:07:52,049
- [Woman] Look at that!

1489
01:07:52,049 --> 01:07:54,103
- [Eric] Woo, that's
very respectful, man!

1490
01:07:54,103 --> 01:07:56,686
We made around $ 120 that night.

1491
01:07:58,598 --> 01:08:00,873
So how do you feel about leaving?

1492
01:08:00,873 --> 01:08:02,487
- Um, it's weird.

1493
01:08:02,487 --> 01:08:05,056
- [Eric] (laughs) Yeah,
is a bit weird, right?

1494
01:08:05,056 --> 01:08:05,972
- Yes

1495
01:08:05,972 --> 01:08:09,209
- Yes, I don't understand what happened.

1496
01:08:09,209 --> 01:08:11,315
Only people appear.

1497
01:08:11,315 --> 01:08:13,093
We have done this, like,
we have played more than 500 shows,

1498
01:08:13,093 --> 01:08:14,934
and it's still, that, like it makes me dizzy  when it was, like, there was no one there,

1499
01:08:14,934 --> 01:08:16,500
then suddenly, I finish the song and search

1500
01:08:16,500 --> 01:08:18,052
and people applaud
and there are people there.

1501
01:08:18,052 --> 01:08:22,135
I think I'm grateful.

1502
01:08:23,941 --> 01:08:26,024
- Yes

1503
01:08:27,526 --> 01:08:28,359
I feel like we are learning it
lesson repeatedly.

1504
01:08:29,197 --> 01:08:32,848
Aw, remember how you can't predict how things will happen?

1505
01:08:32,848 --> 01:08:35,829
Uh, you have to be grateful about that.

1506
01:08:35,829 --> 01:08:38,649


1507
01:08:38,649 --> 01:08:39,482
Yeer.

1508
01:08:39,482 --> 01:08:41,950
- [Eric] (laugh) Who is that?
- God.

1509
01:08:41,950 --> 01:08:43,569
- [Eric] Oh, is that God?
(Elizabeth laughs)

1510
01:08:43,569 --> 01:08:44,402
- [Elizabeth] That's my impression about--

1511
01:08:44,402 --> 01:08:46,030
- God is like, "You don't know!"

1512
01:08:46,030 --> 01:08:49,530
(fun, piano flowing)

1513
01:09:02,826 --> 01:09:05,743
♫ I see the inside

1514
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:08,978
♫ I see that

1515
01:09:08,978 --> 01:09:11,811
(humming traffic)

1516
01:09:15,583 --> 01:09:17,083
- [Elizabeth] Why?

1517
01:09:32,016 --> 01:09:35,953
(distant traffic humming)

1518
01:09:35,953 --> 01:09:40,402
- Basically, now I
don't want to go to the road.

1519
01:09:40,402 --> 01:09:42,128
I'm just, I just want to stay at home.

1520
01:09:42,128 --> 01:09:44,364
I like that, I like to play.

1521
01:09:44,364 --> 01:09:48,364
This is great, I mean, I
live in a dream, right?

1522
01:09:50,953 --> 01:09:54,203
I am in this case, I am in this long corridor,

1523
01:09:57,105 --> 01:09:58,999
towards, we play,

1524
01:09:58,999 --> 01:10:02,082
I'm just, I don't want to play now.

1525
01:10:03,143 --> 01:10:04,709
I don't want music.

1526
01:10:04,709 --> 01:10:06,042
I want to go home.

1527
01:10:07,148 --> 01:10:08,846
We have five more
this week on the road,

1528
01:10:08,846 --> 01:10:10,901
and that's just, we're in,
like, this sports bar,

1529
01:10:10,901 --> 01:10:13,707
and last night, we played
an event where no one came,

1530
01:10:13,707 --> 01:10:14,957
and I just...

1531
01:10:19,782 --> 01:10:22,070
- Sometimes, I wonder if I'm on tour

1532
01:10:22,070 --> 01:10:24,820
knocking down the year of my life.

1533
01:10:27,859 --> 01:10:30,205
Like, if I'm not on tour,

1534
01:10:30,205 --> 01:10:31,872
I will live longer.

1535
01:10:34,928 --> 01:10:38,678
But, if I'm not on tour,
I will do something else.

1536
01:10:41,112 --> 01:10:45,064
Maybe that will make my life shorter.

1537
01:10:45,064 --> 01:10:48,879
- As we should do
enter, for example, 20 minutes,

1538
01:10:48,879 --> 01:10:50,796
and me, I don't want to.

1539
01:10:52,848 --> 01:10:54,941
And I will go and I
will pretend like me,

1540
01:10:54,941 --> 01:10:59,108
and I will pretend like I
like it all the time, but

1541
01:11:01,425 --> 01:11:03,925
I, I, I want to stop doing this.

1542
01:11:06,489 --> 01:11:07,406
- I'm done.

1543
01:11:09,846 --> 01:11:12,476
I don't want to play anything
more shows on this tour.

1544
01:11:12,476 --> 01:11:15,309
(roar of the engine)

1545
01:11:17,454 --> 01:11:18,563
Do you have one show

1546
01:11:18,563 --> 01:11:20,656
that you really look forward to?

1547
01:11:20,656 --> 01:11:21,723
Like where you like,

1548
01:11:21,723 --> 01:11:25,162
"Oh, yes, many people
will be there."

1549
01:11:25,162 --> 01:11:27,047
- There are some that look promising.

1550
01:11:27,047 --> 01:11:29,880
(roar of the engine)

1551
01:11:31,790 --> 01:11:34,881
I feel like I'm delaying
panic attacks now,

1552
01:11:34,881 --> 01:11:37,330
and I don't know what to do.

1553
01:11:37,330 --> 01:11:40,075
Like, what else can we do
besides just playing more shows?

1554
01:11:40,075 --> 01:11:43,408
We play 600 shows and we, and that,

1555
01:11:44,504 --> 01:11:46,144
like, we have a kind of small fan base,

1556
01:11:46,144 --> 01:11:48,199
but there is no national sense

1557
01:11:48,199 --> 01:11:52,366
or even regional,
really, anywhere (sighing).

1558
01:11:54,744 --> 01:11:58,300
I don't know (mumbling).

1559
01:11:58,300 --> 01:12:02,429
(Sighing) I don't know what to do.

1560
01:12:02,429 --> 01:12:04,869
I don't know, I don't know what the next step is.

1561
01:12:04,869 --> 01:12:07,619
(dramatic piano)

1562
01:12:12,734 --> 01:12:16,901
- I wonder if you will really
watch this recording, Eric.

1563
01:12:20,346 --> 01:12:24,263
We will have so many records to go through.

1564
01:12:27,593 --> 01:12:30,426
This recording may never be seen.

1565
01:12:31,546 --> 01:12:35,046
(dramatic, piano flowing)

1566
01:12:47,715 --> 01:12:51,882
♫ We give birth to strong and different smoke

1567
01:12:55,987 --> 01:13:00,154
♫ My hands, they feel as big as this room

1568
01:13:02,587 --> 01:13:04,226
So I left, so, yes, we
came back, I like,

1569
01:13:04,226 --> 01:13:06,559
"Yes, I will go
the way and become a musician."

1570
01:13:06,559 --> 01:13:08,316
What is the first advice,

1571
01:13:08,316 --> 01:13:09,531
the number one suggestion that you will give me?

1572
01:13:09,531 --> 01:13:11,510
- Don't do it (laugh).

1573
01:13:11,510 --> 01:13:12,774
- [Eric] Really?

1574
01:13:12,774 --> 01:13:14,730
- (Laughter) No.

1575
01:13:14,730 --> 01:13:17,505
- Get your finances checked,
get your finances checked,

1576
01:13:17,505 --> 01:13:19,143
Get your finances checked.

1577
01:13:19,143 --> 01:13:23,217
- Play, have fun, be nice to each other,

1578
01:13:23,217 --> 01:13:24,809
be nice to healthy men.

1579
01:13:24,809 --> 01:13:29,808
Always wrong on the side,
from, being openly armed.

1580
01:13:29,808 --> 01:13:33,792
If people need to borrow
teeth, if people need help,

1581
01:13:33,792 --> 01:13:36,409
help them, because you never know.

1582
01:13:36,409 --> 01:13:38,940
Hey, your show has just been canceled,
remember the man you met  who happened to live in Saginaw, Michigan?

1583
01:13:38,940 --> 01:13:42,723
Hey, you might be the place to stay tonight.

1584
01:13:42,723 --> 01:13:45,067
- Only, like, focus your efforts
build relationships

1585
01:13:45,067 --> 01:13:48,281
rather than burning it,

1586
01:13:48,281 --> 01:13:50,673
Because you never know when that person is

1587
01:13:50,673 --> 01:13:52,258
will be able to help
off track.

1588
01:13:52,258 --> 01:13:54,163
- You know, someone said
You have a good show,

1589
01:13:54,163 --> 01:13:57,112


1590
01:13:57,112 --> 01:13:58,549
appreciate what they have
try to tell you,

1591
01:13:58,549 --> 01:13:59,831
even if you think it's not good

1592
01:13:59,831 --> 01:14:01,751
an experience, you know?

1593
01:14:01,751 --> 01:14:05,564
- This is a very easy job
for someone who can handle  tired and tired  in uncomfortable
situation most of the time.

1594
01:14:05,564 --> 01:14:08,151
- You know, there are
some lessons that I have learned

1595
01:14:08,151 --> 01:14:12,109
where I don't ask about
paying where I should be.

1596
01:14:12,109 --> 01:14:13,918
You know, not necessarily their fault,

1597
01:14:13,918 --> 01:14:17,061
not necessarily mine, uh,
I didn't ask before,

1598
01:14:17,061 --> 01:14:18,958
and now, I make sure that I do it  so that doesn't happen again.

1599
01:14:18,958 --> 01:14:22,674
- I will say step alone, eh,

1600
01:14:22,674 --> 01:14:24,780
and take a moment to just,
uh, at the moment.

1601
01:14:24,780 --> 01:14:27,082
- This is not easy, not glamorous,

1602
01:14:27,082 --> 01:14:30,009
and you really have to work.

1603
01:14:30,009 --> 01:14:33,676


1604
01:14:35,162 --> 01:14:38,978


1605
01:14:38,978 --> 01:14:41,161


1606
01:14:41,161 --> 01:14:43,385
- [Eric] You said before that was easy.

1607
01:14:43,385 --> 01:14:47,789
- (Laughter) Don't enter it,
select one of the others.

1608
01:14:47,789 --> 01:14:51,956
- Have at least 2,000 saved
only "Oh, shit!"
fund.

1609
01:14:52,998 --> 01:14:55,564
You have to, your car is broken
in the middle of nowhere,

1610
01:14:55,564 --> 01:14:57,444
and you don't have AAA,
what will you do?

1611
01:14:57,444 --> 01:15:00,455
You have to save a lot of money to do this well,  so you don't sit
there afraid to live,

1612
01:15:00,455 --> 01:15:02,679
because it's pretty scary
if your car is damaged

1613
01:15:02,679 --> 01:15:05,043
and you don't have
money to fix it, right?

1614
01:15:05,043 --> 01:15:08,505
- Um, each of your bands
meet, um, talk to them,

1615
01:15:08,505 --> 01:15:12,338
see if they want to play
future performances with you.

1616
01:15:13,632 --> 01:15:17,133
Also, every place you play on, um,

1617
01:15:17,133 --> 01:15:20,232
see if they like your music,

1618
01:15:20,232 --> 01:15:21,672


1619
01:15:21,672 --> 01:15:24,443
and if they want
, have you returned to that place,

1620
01:15:24,443 --> 01:15:28,441
or if you want to play with the band again.

1621
01:15:28,441 --> 01:15:29,924
Write everything.

1622
01:15:29,924 --> 01:15:32,561
- And plan to work harder
than others.

1623
01:15:32,561 --> 01:15:35,180
- I think it's very important to do it because you like it,

1624
01:15:35,180 --> 01:15:38,137
because if you don't like it, it won't last long.

1625
01:15:38,137 --> 01:15:41,774
- I would say if you
motivation is success,

1626
01:15:41,774 --> 01:15:44,683
uh, then you have the wrong motivation.

1627
01:15:44,683 --> 01:15:47,523
- You just don't know until you do it.

1628
01:15:47,523 --> 01:15:49,589
You don't know if
will resonate with people,

1629
01:15:49,589 --> 01:15:52,922
and order shows outside the city and tour

1630
01:15:54,338 --> 01:15:55,559
when you first started,

1631
01:15:55,559 --> 01:15:58,976
many learn how to be a band,

1632
01:15:58,976 --> 01:16:02,010
learn how to be a mensch.

1633
01:16:02,010 --> 01:16:05,257
Learning how to ask for help,

1634
01:16:05,257 --> 01:16:08,158
learn how to be a friendly guest.

1635
01:16:08,158 --> 01:16:10,191
You know, all this
things you learn,

1636
01:16:10,191 --> 01:16:14,120
This isn't about you
music, and it's really learning

1637
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,620
how to be a good person in this community.

1638
01:16:19,103 --> 01:16:21,672
- [Eric] The whole film
is really just a piece

1639
01:16:21,672 --> 01:16:25,151
what is it like to be a small musician traveling.

1640
01:16:25,151 --> 01:16:29,836
The highest score is very high, and the lowest
can be very low.

1641
01:16:29,836 --> 01:16:32,232
Number of sacrifices just to start  big enough to scare
away most normal people,

1642
01:16:32,232 --> 01:16:35,403
and the risk is
startling from the start.

1643
01:16:35,403 --> 01:16:39,012
With all this in mind, I
often find myself asking

1644
01:16:39,012 --> 01:16:43,477
why even do this, why do I do it?

1645
01:16:43,477 --> 01:16:46,841
Why did Elizabeth do it with me?

1646
01:16:46,841 --> 01:16:49,152
Why are all these people
we've met trying to do it too?

1647
01:16:49,152 --> 01:16:52,494


1648
01:16:52,494 --> 01:16:54,231
Is it even feasible?

1649
01:16:54,231 --> 01:16:57,036
- Music can really help
people and heal people,

1650
01:16:57,036 --> 01:16:59,735
and thinking, with a three-minute pop song,

1651
01:16:59,735 --> 01:17:02,225
You can really change
someone's life, you know,

1652
01:17:02,225 --> 01:17:04,764
with them in that way
no other art form can.

1653
01:17:04,764 --> 01:17:07,490
- It's something that can change lives.

1654
01:17:07,490 --> 01:17:10,564
That's something that can
make an impact on someone  the next decision they will make.

1655
01:17:10,564 --> 01:17:12,344
- That's just something
you did, I don't know.

1656
01:17:12,344 --> 01:17:14,328
I have never seen myself not writing.

1657
01:17:14,328 --> 01:17:16,732
That's always very therapeutic.

1658
01:17:16,732 --> 01:17:18,896
- This is therapy for me.

1659
01:17:18,896 --> 01:17:20,893
When I write songs, this is therapy.

1660
01:17:20,893 --> 01:17:23,680
This is something I can't share,

1661
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,616
like, if I talk
you, face to face now,

1662
01:17:26,616 --> 01:17:28,579


1663
01:17:28,579 --> 01:17:31,076
we just talk, I can't do it.

1664
01:17:31,076 --> 01:17:33,858
So I did it
lyrics, I did it, you know,

1665
01:17:33,858 --> 01:17:35,596
with a melody, with hooks.

1666
01:17:35,596 --> 01:17:39,309
- It's amazing to see
crowd reacting to a song.

1667
01:17:39,309 --> 01:17:42,476
- If, you know, I screw up,
then I'm really exposed,

1668
01:17:42,476 --> 01:17:45,317
and that, you know, it was a kind of sensation for me.

1669
01:17:45,317 --> 01:17:47,389
This is like every time I appear,

1670
01:17:47,389 --> 01:17:49,367
it's like riding a roller coaster.

1671
01:17:49,367 --> 01:17:51,341
- I mean, I think you can
maybe empathize

1672
01:17:51,341 --> 01:17:54,397
without art, but I think
art has a major role

1673
01:17:54,397 --> 01:17:57,814
in, uh, understanding your situation,

1674
01:18:00,796 --> 01:18:03,959
You know, socio-economic,
is local,

1675
01:18:03,959 --> 01:18:06,653
or country, or national or global.

1676
01:18:06,653 --> 01:18:08,142
I think you can learn a lot

1677
01:18:08,142 --> 01:18:11,126
from exploring yourself creatively.

1678
01:18:11,126 --> 01:18:13,574
- You know, in essence,

1679
01:18:13,574 --> 01:18:17,241
You have to do this
because you like it, um.

1680
01:18:18,793 --> 01:18:21,487
You have to feel that what you do is important.

1681
01:18:21,487 --> 01:18:22,868
If it's not important for others,

1682
01:18:22,868 --> 01:18:26,883
no one else cares about you
do, um, it's still important.

1683
01:18:26,883 --> 01:18:31,241
- I think that's what happened
attract people to it, um,

1684
01:18:31,241 --> 01:18:35,241
is hearing other people
in its most raw form,

1685
01:18:36,308 --> 01:18:37,980
and to get in touch with him.

1686
01:18:37,980 --> 01:18:41,603
That's friendship
is, it's sharing, um,

1687
01:18:41,603 --> 01:18:44,173
prejudice experience.

1688
01:18:44,173 --> 01:18:46,489
- I think a lot for that
I'm just an obsession.

1689
01:18:46,489 --> 01:18:49,288
Um, I have made art all my life,

1690
01:18:49,288 --> 01:18:51,322
and song writing has become a thing

1691
01:18:51,322 --> 01:18:53,726
which I can't do but do.

1692
01:18:53,726 --> 01:18:58,148
- Music is that car
takes me there, that.

1693
01:18:58,148 --> 01:19:01,001
- Something about that
I just love,

1694
01:19:01,001 --> 01:19:02,417
and I don't really know what it is,

1695
01:19:02,417 --> 01:19:06,157
but, whatever it is
is, that's great (laugh).

1696
01:19:06,157 --> 01:19:08,828
- [Eric] Yes, it is very valuable.

1697
01:19:08,828 --> 01:19:12,906
I still don't know why
is, but I know that.

1698
01:19:12,906 --> 01:19:15,205
As I said at the beginning of this film,

1699
01:19:15,205 --> 01:19:17,546
Pocket Vinyl is just us both.

1700
01:19:17,546 --> 01:19:20,623
No manager, or order
agent, or all of that,

1701
01:19:20,623 --> 01:19:23,263
but really, I have found
through many of our adventures

1702
01:19:23,263 --> 01:19:27,363
that the touring band is small
way far from alone.

1703
01:19:27,363 --> 01:19:30,573
This is not something.
Only Elizabeth and I built it.

1704
01:19:30,573 --> 01:19:34,188
Our band, like everything
band, live and healthy

1705
01:19:34,188 --> 01:19:36,445
thanks to hundreds and thousands of people

1706
01:19:36,445 --> 01:19:38,024
who helped us.

1707
01:19:38,024 --> 01:19:40,950
Does it give us dinner,
place to put our heads,

1708
01:19:40,950 --> 01:19:43,376
or just throws one dollar into the jar,

1709
01:19:43,376 --> 01:19:47,551
it all helps keep us going
far more than we can express.

1710
01:19:47,551 --> 01:19:50,243
This band isn't just us.

1711
01:19:50,243 --> 01:19:53,780
Everyone who has ever seen us, or helped us.

1712
01:19:53,780 --> 01:19:56,643
Even you, by watching
this film now.

1713
01:19:56,643 --> 01:20:00,050
- The generosity of those people
shows cannot be trusted.

1714
01:20:00,050 --> 01:20:02,425
I think the most amazing thing

1715
01:20:02,425 --> 01:20:04,767
is how to downplay that experience.

1716
01:20:04,767 --> 01:20:07,569
This is very condescending, not only because

1717
01:20:07,569 --> 01:20:08,973
sometimes you play for three people,

1718
01:20:08,973 --> 01:20:13,056
but it is also degrading because
people are very generous.

1719
01:20:14,074 --> 01:20:17,396
Just keep on receiving goodness

1720
01:20:17,396 --> 01:20:21,563
and the generosity of people
is really something.

1724

1735
01:21:42,941 --> 01:21:44,128
I hate this car.

1736
01:21:44,128 --> 01:21:46,327
- [Elizabeth] Me too.

1737
01:21:46,327 --> 01:21:49,274
- I am very ready to get it
- get rid of this car (laugh).

1741
01:21:53,731 --> 01:21:57,898
We have put more than $ 1,000 into this car
in just the past month.

01:21:59,290 --> 01:22:00,598
(Elizabeth laughs)

1743
01:22:00,598 --> 01:22:01,431
And now--

1744
01:22:01,431 --> 01:22:02,264
- [Elizabeth] Do you know

1745
01:22:02,264 --> 01:22:04,094
how much did we enter
since we bought it?

1746
01:22:04,094 --> 01:22:05,742
- Between three and 4000.

1747
01:22:05,742 --> 01:22:08,521
- [Elizabeth] That's it?

1748
01:22:08,521 --> 01:22:10,562
- Maybe a little more, but
yes, I think that's all.

1749
01:22:10,562 --> 01:22:12,607
- I think we included more than that.

1750
01:22:12,607 --> 01:22:16,054
I feel like silver because
it tries to look fancy,

1751
01:22:16,054 --> 01:22:17,887
but that is terrible.

1752
01:22:19,110 --> 01:22:21,277
- New car, bad old car.

1753
01:22:23,075 --> 01:22:25,141
Beautiful new car.

1754
01:22:25,141 --> 01:22:27,291
I hope.
(Elizabeth laughs)

1755
01:22:27,291 --> 01:22:28,713
I have all this optimism, and like,

1756
01:22:28,713 --> 01:22:30,819
everything looks like that
will be great with this,

1757
01:22:30,819 --> 01:22:32,236
but I don't know,

1758
01:22:33,981 --> 01:22:36,376
what if there are, like, goblins in it.

1759
01:22:36,376 --> 01:22:39,260
Oh, and look, we're old
Camry doesn't have this.

1762
01:22:42,647 --> 01:22:44,453
- [Eric] Look at this nice wood.

1763
01:22:44,453 --> 01:22:47,036
- [Elizabeth] Good, fancy wood!

1764
01:22:48,483 --> 01:22:52,972
- It's like I'm driving a
cabin here, this is great!

1765
01:22:52,972 --> 01:22:56,412
That's it, we never have it
to see this car again!

1766
01:22:56,412 --> 01:22:58,337
- [Elizabeth] Bye-bye!

1767
01:22:58,337 --> 01:22:59,632
- [Eric] Aw, you're trash!

1768
01:22:59,632 --> 01:23:02,456
- [Elizabeth] (chuckles) Nobody likes you!
