That is what it's all about, my brothers.
- We are gonna be huge! - More importantly, how were my moves?
Oh, those moves. I got the best seat in the house--
right in between the guitar and the bass.
And you rocked!
Yeah! Yeah!
Oh, now, uh, that was classic Vesuvius.
- Billy! - Billy! - Nice show!
Whoo! Hey, what did the label say?
-Yeah, what'd they say? - Let's start with some beers first.
Those are on me, and those are imported.
Imported-- sounds like good news, right?
Oh, we're bad!
Be right back! More like awesome news.
Ooh! [ Laughing ]
Matchbook Records just offered us an awesome contract.
And it is awesome.
We're gonna be rich! [ Laughs ] Boom!
I'm gonna get a Fiero. [ Crying ] I'm-- I'm so happy. I'm so happy.
There's just one hitch.
They want you to replace Fish.
The president of the label wants to put his nephew in the band.
Fish is the heart and soul of this band.
We've been together since high school. Yeah.
He came up with the name Vesuvius. He's a great drummer.
Guys, they're gonna put money behind you.
That means videos. That means touring.
No. Forget it, Billy. We're not gonna sell him out...
just because some rich kid wants to play rock star.
- Forget it! - All right.
I'm callin' the head of the label right now...
and tell him where he can stick his nephew.
Oh, and there was talk of you guys opening for Whitesnake, but, uh,
sometimes opportunity knocks twice, right?
Whitesnake, man. Dude, I love that band.
I mean, think about it. Fish'll land on his feet, right?
Right. Like I said, he's a great drummer.
Right. He's gonna be fine.

Everybody thought they peaked when their sixth album went platinum.
But then they came back and blew the doors off with Devil�s Nursery.

Which was terrible, by the way-- totally overproduced. Really?
Mm-hmm. Okay, look, Rob.
I know that we've been through this a whole bunch,
and I know that you think you're getting past it,
but this is not getting past it.
It has been 20 years. You've gotta let it go.
I have let it go.
And the universe just keeps shoving Vesuvius right back in my face.
Look, guppy, I don't think I can do this anymore.
This just isn't working for me. I'm sorry.
I think it's time-- I break up with you.
What? I break up with you.
No. I--
No!
Yes. What?
What were you gonna say? You know what I was gonna say.
I interrupted, and I'm sorry. You just said what I was gonna say.
I am breaking up with you. What are you doing?
I am fantastic. You want to break up with me? Okay, listen.
I'm going to have to ask you to pack your things and leave.
This is my apartment.
This is gonna be great. I'll get a fresh start.
You know, get my life back on track.
That's the attitude, Robert. Thanks, Sis.
So you'll be on your feet and out of this house in, what, about a week?
Lisa. Come on. Give the guy a break.
- Thank you, Stan. - Talk about your missed opportunity.
Imagine if he was still in Vesuvius.
My brother-in-law in Vesuvius.
Do you know what our lives would be like?
I'd be wearing silk underwear right now.
It's like winning the lottery...
and having the lottery ticket ripped up in front of your face.
Thank you, Stan.
I thought we weren't supposed to use the "V" word in front of Uncle Rob.
He can take it. [ Lisa ] So, have you heard?
Matt got in to M.I.T.
Well, that makes sense. That's my boy.
'Cause last time I saw you, you were building a robot.
How'd that ever work out?
That was eight years ago when I was 10.
- Do you have a girlfriend? - Ha!
Oh, maybe you want to take a can of "shut up."
Matt is also in a band. Playin' the prom.
Which is the only way he'd ever get to go.
[ Stan ] Hey. I swear, if you don't stop annoying me,
I'm gonna shave your head in your sleep.
I'd still be the pretty child.
-Matt. - Viol, Matt, stop it.
A band, huh? So, what do you call yourselves?
A.D.D. "Add"?
Huh. Well, it's short. What?
It's easy to remember. No.
It's, uh, A.D.D.-- as in Attention Deficit Disorder.
Oh, good, you changed it, 'cause Add really blew.

but letting you stay here forever is not gonna solve your problems.

Hi, Jeremy's mom. Hey, guys.
So, uh, I kinda got suspended from school today, and I can't play prom.
Wait. What?
Tell them what you did, Jeremy.
I kinda brought hash brownies to the Spanish Club luncheon.
[ Exhales ] Not bueno. [ Mother ] And?
And Senorita Horowitz kinda got really stoned...
and passed out in the boys' locker room.
-[ Mother ] And? - And, uh,
somebody kinda drew a, uh--
A penis! A penis on a grown woman's face.
And now he can't walk during graduation.
Every mother's dream. Let's go, Jeremy.
See you guys. Rock hard.
[ Mother, Slaps ] A penis! Ow!
Prom is in two days.
Not for us, it's not.
You know what? Blessing in disguise.
'Cause who wants to play some crappy school dance anyway?
I do, and so do you.
- Whatever. - I could ask my uncle.
I don't think we're that desperate. Desperate?
He was an original member of Vesuvius. I'll bet he can still play.
Yeah, but he's ancient. Let's start looking for a new drummer.

Now get your devil box outta here. [ Feedback Squeaks ]

We've kind of exhausted all of our other options, so--
I-- I don't have any better ideas.
Okay, fine. Go talk to him.
[ Pigeons Cooing ] [ Knocking ]
Hey, Uncle Rob. Can I talk to you for a second?
No, I will not buy beer for you and your friends,
nor will I rent you my password to porn sites.
Rent? No. No. Um, I was--
I was actually just wondering...
if you'd play with us at our prom gig.
- [ Groans ] - Oh.
[ Pigeon Wings Flutter ]
What did you just say?
I was just wondering if you'd play the drums with us. You know, just for one night.
Absolutely not.
I haven't played the drums in 20 years.
Okay, drumming is pain.
And I've had more than enough pain for one lifetime.
Look. Um--
Come-- Just meet me up here. Huh?
We need a drummer, okay? And you play the drums.
You've been a pretty terrible uncle over the years.
Yeah. You only come by when you need something from my mom.
You never remember my birthday. You called me "Max" till I was 11.
Okay, what's your point, Matt?
[ Exhales ] This is--
This is really, really important to me.
I'm not what you would call a social butterfly.
You know?
And playing this gig is-- is probably the closest I'm ever gonna get to...
breaking the ice with, you know, the ladies.
You're looking to score. I can respect that.
Anyway, if you really are my uncle-- my family--
you will do this one thing for me.

He said he feeds on God juice, and miracles spring forth.
Hey. Never fear,ninas.
Got our laminates-- all access.

Hey, are you ready? 'Cause we're on in five minutes.

I just-- I figured college.
So-- And you're his older sister?
Well, that's very flattering. No, I'm his mom.
No, you're not. Seriously, you're not. What, uh, is your name?

I do. Abandonment issues.

and let me run with it?
- All right, band meeting. - Okay, huddle up.
No. Just us three-- the-the band.
Yeah. I'll be in my office.
Okay. Perhaps, last night, he was a bit ostentatious with his performance style,
but you cannot deny the fact that he's got chops.
No way, man. I told him he's out.
All right, you guys, let's just think about it like this.
It might be kind of cool, you know, if he were in the band.
'Cause then we'd have it all. We'd have the magnetic but tormented lead singer...
and the-- the awkward, neurotic super nerd--
That's me. and the kind of ironic,
postmodern, you know, punk girl...
and the ancient, crazy-faces-making rocker.
You can't tell me you've ever seen anything like that.
Yeah, for a good reason. This isn't a joke to me.
What, you think it is to us?
What have we got to lose?
All right. If he delivers a gig, I'll give him a chance.

[ Door Slams ] [ Lisa ] Come on, Robert! Let's go!
I can't believe you called the cops on me.
You stole my car, Robert! I'll have you know I topped off your fluids.
Get a job. I had a job.
A totally awesome gig that was gonna pay me $100-- until you reported your car missing.
Oh, take responsibility. You!
So long, Mattie. So long, Uncle--
Ah! Don't talk! You're not allowed to speak! Gah!
You are not allowed to drive.
You are not allowed to do anything for the rest of the summer.
You can take away the wheels, take away his First Amendment right to free speech,
but you cannot take away the dream.
- Damn right. - Shut up, Stan.
Get out of my house, Robert.
Hey, Fish. Fish, Fish, Fish, Fish.
Listen, I'm really sorry she made me drop a dime on you.
It's okay, buddy.
Hey, give me the heavy metal devil horns.
Now lock them with me.
My brother.
Oh, man. Thanks for letting me stay here, Mr. Lee.
I really appreciate it.
Oh, yeah, those rice bags look comfortable.
[ Sighs ] Oh, Fish.
No one has eaten more takeout than you.
You put my kids through college. Oh.
You stay until you get back on your feet.
Thanks, Mr. Lee. [ Furnace Fires Up ]
Wow. That heat is tremendous.
And take this.
What's this for?
For the rats. Rats?
[ Squeaking ]
- Uncle Rob? - Uh! Gah! Aah!
[ Grunting ] [ Squeaking ]
Hey. Hey, I thought you were grounded.
Technically, I'm at the library for the next 10 minutes.
But I'm not really. I'm here.
[ Exhales ] It's-- It's uncomfortably hot down here.
So, uh, what brings you to the House of Lee?
I have a way we can still practice.
So, I've taken four webcams,
then I've interfaced our computers...
to create a non-delayed, real-time virtual network.

Can you hear us, Uncle Rob? Is this working? Testing. Testing.

[ Blows ] Is this thing on? [ Popping ]
-[ Matt ] It's a camera. It's not a mike, Uncle Rob. -I'm good to go. I can hear you.
Let's do this. We can hear you.
- Oh, wow. - Oh! [ Groans ]
-It's not a mike, Uncle Rob. - What?
Fish. Is anybody else seeing this?
All right. Here we go. Am I the only one seeing this? Why is no one else reacting?
Try "Tomorrow Never Comes." Curtis, are you watching this?
Okay. "Tomorrow Never Comes." Ready? This is sick. Fish.
[ Groans ] Oh, God.
Okay, here we go. Okay.

It is the naked drummer. [ Laughs ] Oh, man. [ Laughs ]
[ Chattering ] Hey, fam.
I got here as fast as I could. There he is.
Don't recognize you with your clothes on.
[ All Laughing ]
How you doin'? David Marshall. Head of "A" and "R" for Matchbook Records.
- Matchbook Records? - Oh, by the way, I'm, uh-- I'm-- I'm Stan.
I'm kind of with, uh, the band. Great.
Anyway, he's come all the way from Los Angeles to have a meeting with you, Robert.
[ Whispers ] We're on the Internet. On the Internet.
[ David ] Yeah. Ya think? Over a million hits and counting.
Boop! Boop!
Boop! You know what that sound is?
Do you know? Anybody? No.
What about you, Norm from Cheers?
That's the sound of the money truck backin' up to your front door, Hoss.
But my team at Matchbook-- we see more than money.
We see beyond the gimmick of the naked drummer.
It's a fun video. We're laughin' at it, we're laughin' at it,
but then we're humming the songs.
It's the rope-a-dope. You know what I mean?
The rope-a-dope. We're laughin', we're laughin',
then boom!
Out of nowhere, we're singing and humming the tunes.
Why? Why would we do that? I'll tell you why. 'Cause the songs kick F-in' ass.
Wow. All these years wearing a suit to the office,
I should have been a naked drummer!
Absolutely. Here's the dealio. What was I thinkin'?
If A.D.D. has more tunes like that, then Matchbook is very interested.
I'm sure you guys got a lot of heat, a lot of juice,
a lot of people comin' after ya, am I right?
Yeah, I didn't pay taxes in the '90s.
- The phone has been ringing off the hook with offers. - Okay. Right. Good to know.
Okay. We're in the pressure cooker. We are through the looking glass, amigos.
Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna call my people.
I'm gonna come back, holler at ya. Excuse me a sec.
- [ Wheezing Laugh ] - We're gonna be signed. We're gonna be signed.
Well-- I'm gonna go call Amelia and Curtis.
[ Woman ] I love your new tat.
[ Man ] Yeah, well, I just got it done. [ Chuckles ]
[ Woman ] I'll validate you on your way out. Oh, all right. Thanks.
Hello. I'm here for, uh, A.D.D. Name?
Robert Fishman.
Studio 3.
Wait. My name is on the list?
Yeah.
So my name is on that list.
Yeah.
Can I have it? No.
Okay.
This does not suck. You're the man.
[ Whispers ] They have free food.
Whoa.
The mixing board...
with its thousands of mysterious buttons.
The big chair...
that swooshes me around the studio.
That allows me to slide wherever I care to go.
The soundproof glass window. The giant headphones.

It makes me want to kill myself. Seriously. We need to stop this right now.
Why don't we turn this frown upside down? What do you say?
Let's just push the tempo. Say, uh, "I'm not bitter."
- Okay. - Okay? Follow me. Follow my lead.
Okay? From the bridge? What do you say? What is he doin'?
[ Man ] I don't know. Let's do it. One, two, three, four!
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

- Ow! - Yes!
[ Curtis ] That rocks. That's what I'm talkin' about.
Instead of a canoe paddling around on a pond,
we were like a tank flying down a mountain.
I like that. It feels really good. It feels good.
- What do you guys think? - [ Laughs ]
John Lennon's rollin' over in his grave to hide the boner you just gave him.
- We're gonna bounce that down. - Yeah! Bouncin' it down.
- Whoo! What does that mean? - I have no idea. Let's take five.
[ Toilet Flushes ] [ Door Closes ]
Someday one of these bad boys will have your name on it, C-note.
Guarantee.
You know, there is a lot of biz buzz on you back in Hollyweird, my man.
- Really? - Oh, yeah. You got quite an opportunity...
to capitalize on this whole YouTube thing.
We're talkin' an album, a tour.
You're gonna have more ladies than Jay-Z got Mercedes.
[ Laughs ] You're gonna need two dicks.
Thanks. Yeah, yeah. No problem.
- What are you guys doin'? - I'm just tellin' big "C" here the game plan.
Yep. We're gonna hang out in the studio for a couple more weeks,
do some more recording, then strap in, young uns.
We're hittin' the road.
What? You heard me, Curly Sue.
Midwest tour.
Huh? That's right. Oh!
Yeah! Yeah!
All right. Easy. Yeah!
[ Fish ] And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen,
I promise you that on the road,
these kids will have an experience...
unlike any they have ever experienced.
[ Man Clears Throat ]
Um, I think I--
Well, what he's trying to say, in a-- in a-- in a-- in a--
just a really, uh, incomprehensible way...
is that this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
And they have worked so hard, and they want this so badly.
And, you know, I'm not thrilled of letting Curtis go without me being there, but...
I don't want him to spend the rest of his life thinking, "What if?"
You know? So, you got my vote.
-[ Loud Feedback ] - [ All Scream ]
I'm sorry.
I lived my life saying, "What if?"
Twenty years of "What if?"
You feel me, Jack?
Y-You'll-- You'll-You'll be safe, right?
Of course.
Okay. Okay.
Okay?
Okay. Lisa?
Okay. All right. All right.
Guys, please be careful. Okay?
[ Stan ] I'm gonna miss you. [ Chattering ]
Hey. Thank you.
You're welcome.
But if one hair on his head is harmed,
I will kill you.
Cool. All right.
[ Lisa ] Mattie. Yeah?
I trust you.
But I don't trust your uncle.
So I don't want you to listen to a word he says, okay?
Okay. Okay.

Hi.
Um, we were wondering if we could buy you guys a beer or something.
First groupies.
Unfortunately, they are not of age.
Fortunately, I am double the legal limit for after-show partying.
Yeah. Um, we were kind of looking for someone a little closer to our age.
But thanks.
First blow-off. Let the games begin.

[ Fish ] Oh, man. This is where rock and roll came to die.
Nothing but text chats and "Playbox" with you guys.
- It's Xbox. - Whatever! We are on tour!
- You may never get this chance again. - [ Both ] Come on!
Okay, we have got to cut loose!
I feel like I cut loose when I'm onstage.
Then I like to rest and unwind a little bit. Please move.
And you call yourself my nephew.
- He's right. - Yeah. It's late. I mean, we're tired.
- You guys sound like a bunch of grandmas. - You look like Miss Saigon.
Oh, wait. I get it. You guys don't know what it means to go on tour.

Hey, man. What's wrong? We are in the joint.
We're going behind bars, man! This is awesome!
This is what being a rock star's all about.
Yeah, I don't know. I guess for me it's always been more about the music.
No, music definitely plays an important part.
I just-- I always hope maybe,
you know, someday my dad would hear one of my songs...
and feel--
I don't know-- something.
You want my advice?
You got a good thing goin'.
Don't go chasing something you're never gonna get back.
It's his loss. He's the one missing out.
Trust me. I know.
I got the best seat in the house--
right between the guitar and the bass.
Fishman. You all made bail.
Yes. How?
Thank you. The fans.
The magic of rock and roll. Come on. Where's my posse?
That, my friends, is what happens when you're a rock star.
Night, guys. [ Man ] Night, Fish.
Oh, crap. Mom?
I trusted you. I vouched for you-- Ow. Ow.
and for the safety of these kids.
This is how you pay me back? By being a drunken,
irresponsible, drunken--
You already said "drunken." I know I said "drunken," and I will say it again.
- What is wrong with you? Hey, Kim. - Hey, Lisa.
[ Lisa ] Two arrests in three weeks?
What does it feel like to destroy a hotel room?
I-It must be freeing. It's gotta be freeing, huh?
- You have no idea. - Really?
Oh, yeah. You are such an idiot.
Come on, Matt. We're going home. Tour's over.
You can't cancel the t-- Lower my voice. You can't cancel the tour.
No, he is right. People out there are digging the music.
I don't care if you're selling out arenas. I don't trust Little Drummer Boy here.
- What did you just call me? - Let's go, Amelia.
- I'm not going home. - I'm not going either.
And don't you call my uncle Little Drummer Boy.
He's a big drummer boy.
I am the mother. You are the child. I'm not going home.
No, 'cause I show you all the respect he has. There's--
- I can't hear you. - Guys.
-Guys. - But you don't listen to me.
We're a band, and we stick together. We're finishing the tour.
I'm sorry if you guys have a problem with that, but that's just the way it is.
Yeah.
Okay. I'll go.
-[ Lisa ] What? -I don't think that it's fair...
that these kids have to cancel their tour because...
Baby Huey over here isn't responsible enough to be an adult,
so I will go.
- I'll go too. - Oh, be quiet, Stan.
No. A tour with parents is not a tour.
On this point I will not bend. That's it.
My line in the sand has been drawn.
[ Fish ] I just want to say, on behalf of the band,
it's kind of a buzzkill having you on the tour.
Oh, really? If you hadn't been such a jackass,
I wouldn't have to be here. Whatever.
I just need you to do a little babysitting...
and don't rain on my parade.
Okay? 'Cause I'm living my dream.
Did you-- Did you always, uh, have a knee brace in your dream?
[ Chuckles ] What did I say about raining on my parade?
Sorry.
You know what? I'm sorry.
You are an adult. I mean, technically.
So you can do whatever you want.
I just think that you might want to start to take it easy.
Take it easy? Thanks, The Eagles.
No. I've spent my whole life taking it easy.
And now I'm making up for lost time.
Hoo-hoo! All right.
I'm gonna do whatever I want. Watch this. I think I'll go moon a trucker.
- Yeah. - Or streak up and down the bus,
or take a nap.
Not sure which. My choice. Hmm. Make a decision.
I think I'll take a nap. Excuse me.
Okeydokey.
[ Grunts ]
[ Kim ] I have a silly question.
Do you have any hand sanitizer?
I do. Oh, great.
I've used it for other things, but you're welcome to it. Jesus Christ.

Hey, are you guys sitting down? One second.
Yeah, well, stand up. I got great news. Okay.

Sure. Can we call this a day?
No, no, no. This isn't happening. No. Listen to me.
What's goin' on? Go ahead.
It's Amelia. She's having a tough day. Not really feelin' like a rock star right now.
I'll go talk to her. Okay. Good luck with that.
[ Glass Shatters ] [ Knocks ]
Amelia. Just go away.
Come on. It's okay to be nervous.
I still either throw up or get the runs before every show. Last night it was both.
Gross! Leave me alone!
Come on. Girlfriend, we need you.
Come on.
- [ Exhales ] I'm sorry. I just can't. - Hey. What's wrong?
God, I told that idiot stylist not to brush it.
Let me see.
Holy sh-- Oh, wow.
- Hey. - See? See?
No. See? I look like shit, okay? Go away.
Listen. It's just hair. It's no biggie.
Maybe girls like me just don't belong in music videos. It's--
But, you know, if that's-- if that's the look...
that they want, they should just--
they should just grab one of those annoying little girls that's always hanging on Curtis.
-[ Door Closes ] - Don't say that. Those girls are a dime a dozen.
All right? And that is why you are in this band and they are not.
Because you have looks and personality.
You've got attitude, you've got edge,
you've got pure, unfiltered "badass-ded-ness."
Yeah. Now, as far as the do goes,
take it from someone that's been at war with their hair for many years.
It just needs a little bit of love...
and a lot... of product.
[ Shudders ]
[ Door Opens ]
Welcome back.
Smile?
No smile?
Thanks, Fish.
- [ Sighs ] Good job. - This part of the video is gonna blow people's minds.
I'm gonna shoot you guys with this old Bolex.
Stop-motion. So you're gonna be animated.
So pick your spot, take your breath...
and move a tiny bit. [ Shutter Clicks ]
- Move a tiny bit. -[ Shutter Clicks ]
Move a tiny bit. Move a tiny bit.
Wait a minute. Did you guys switch--
-You have a tattoo. - What? Where? Oh, my God. Thank you for telling me.
I'm gonna get that checked out. That's funny.
Good. I'm just sayin' it's weird, 'cause you have a tattoo, but you're a mom.
Gee, nothing gets by you, does it?
Yes, I have a tattoo and I am a mom.
So, a few too many flirtinis? Ah, that's close.
It's an old band. You were in a band?
Move a tiny bit. Mm-hmm. I was in an all-girl punk band.
No way. That's awesome. Yeah.
Put a safety pin in my T-shirt and all of a sudden I'm a badass. Good times.
Move a tiny bit. So, um, what happened to the old S.W. band?
Why'd you give it up? Well, not exactly sure,
but I think it had something to do with the fact that...
a pregnant 17-year-old lead singer...
wasn't exactly what MTV was looking for.
- They so lack vision. - Cut! You moved too much, okay?
"Tiny bit" means tiny bit. Not big bit or regular bit. Tiny bit. Move a tiny bit.
And I don't know why you're blinking, like, more than a normal person,
but blink like a normal person, or don't blink.
Those are your two options. So, your choice.

you're familiar with the term "MILF"?
Because I would never use that to describe you. Ever.
I hate that term. It disgusts me.
No, no, no. You are more of a...
"MILMSLT."
[ Chuckles ]
That's a "Mother I'd Like to Make Sweet Love To."
[ Chuckles ] Aw, than-- thank you.
I'm really flattered, actually.
Um, so, are you familiar with the term "PILS"? No, no.
No. What's a, uh-- What's a PILS?
It's a "Person I'd Like to Stab."
[ Chuckles ] Oh! [ Laughs ]
I know. Oh, that's good.
Watch out here. Cougar's got claws. [ Snarls ]
- I'm gonna hop in the Hummer. - Good idea.
I'll see you guys in the Hummer. Good night.
-Hit the omelet bar. - Well played, milady.
Shall we?
[ Fish ] You know, I'm gonna take a rain check. Boo-ya!
Really? You? A rain check, huh? Okay.
Well, you know, I got a--
I got a date back at the club with a couple of shorties, so--
Oh. All right. See ya later.
Okay. All right.
Don't wait up for me, okay? 'Cause I'm gonna be boop-boop!
See ya. Boop.

Hi. Hi. Are you okay?
Oh, super-duper. I am just doin'-- This is some of the best--
Who is she? I don't know her name.
I've seen her at some of our shows, and on those occasions,
I've wanted to engage her, but I just-- I get so nervous.
All right. Which one is she? She's the one sitting at the bar in the blue.
No. Don't stare. I'm not staring.
'Cause you're embarrassing me in front of her. I don't even know--
Be respectful. She's the one sitting over there in the blue T-shirt.
[ Amelia ] Uh, okay. The shirt that reads...
"I '��heart' Matt" on it in rhinestones?
Well, that could be a coincidence. Maybe it's...
I "heart" Matt LeBlanc from TV�s The Friendsor--
Look at me, Amelia.
Look at me.
I am not the world's most handsome guy here.
And...
I don't know how to speak to a girl, other than you.
I've never kissed a girl.
I've never asked them to go to a movie or-- or maybe go to dinner.
There. Okay? Now you've had the experience.
Now go talk to her and quit pussing out.

Uh, yeah. It's a guitar. It's really fun. Do you wanna play?
Come on. All right.
Come on. All right. Just put it on.
- Okay. -Okay. Okay, see how it goes red, blue.
[ Fish ] I'm lost.
Blue. Blue. And then hit this too so you can get extra points.
I love this song. This song is awesome!
You're doin' it. I'm kickin' your ass is what I'm doin'.
No, you're not even. Yeah!

I'm not even embarrassed by it. And I'm embarrassed by, like, everything.
Yeah, well, you know, your body's changing.
Don't you hate it how the camera itself adds 10 pounds.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah, the camera and food, right?
Well, if you like that, you're gonna love this.
This little puppy's going to debut next Monday as the number nine "vid'ja" in the country!
Yeah!
All right!
And if you love that, you're gonna crap your khakis when you hear this.
Y'all just got asked to open for Vesuvius...
in honor of their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
-Huh? How about that? That's pretty great, right? - Um--
Like a Cleveland up-and-comers opening for a Cleveland legends type of "thizz-ang."
Not to mention, you know, it keeps it all in the Matchbook Records family,
which is, you know, good. [ Fish ] No. No.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - Okay.
Fish. Breathe, breathe, breathe. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay. All right. Okay.
- What if I said yes already? Where does that leave us? - [ Shouts ]
Oh, God. Okay. All right. Fish--
[ Screaming ]
[ Singsongy ] Drama.
No!
I'll go talk to him. No. No. Just-- Just sit. I'll do it.
You guys realize that if you open for Vesuvius,
you'll get to play in front of 20,000 people.
But Fish has a history with them. We can't do that.
Look, I love Fish. [ Laughs ] I do, man. I love that guy.
And I never say "love." [ Chuckles ] But, uh,
the guy's practically in a full-body cast.
You know what I mean? I think it's time we put him out of his misery.
Just-- [ Imitates Snap, Groans ] You know what I'm sayin'?
Come on. We need a fresh new look of the band. What do you say?
No. A band's a family, and you don't turn your back on family.
[ Laughing ] What is this?
Full House? Are you kidding me?
He stays.
That's that.
[ David ] You know what? You're right. You're right.
Yeah. No. He stays. Good call.
Hey. Fish!
No. No. I can't do it. I won't do it.
"Promised Land" is my song. I came up with the title! Fish.
Okay? And they are in the promised land-- Listen.
and I'm walkin' around in the desert for 40 years. Okay.
I'm Moses, and I led them to the land of milk and honey and three-ways and orgies.
Fish, listen to me! And I've got tattered robes on, and I'm eating manna--
And--
I can't-- I can't hear you.
Oh.
[ Chuckles ] Hello, Yoko.
What was that for? To shut you up.
[ Sighs ] Okay. Now-- Now listen to me.
You have already made it to the promised land, okay?
I mean, maybe not the way that you thought, but you have made it.
Are you gonna blow this because of some stupid grudge?
Come on. Just let it go. Play the gig. Please.
Your witchy, witchy ways won't work on me.
I am never opening for Vesuvius.
[ Sighs ]

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]
Whoa.
Oh, oh. Hey, buddy!
Hey. Hey, man. What a coincidence, huh?
Yeah. I didn't know you were stayin' here. Oh, yeah. I love this place.
Yeah, same floor and everything, huh?
[ Chuckles ] [ Elevator Bell Dings ]
[ Exhales ] Hey, I just want to say I-- I think it's super-awesome...
that you're cool with Fish banging your mom. What are you talking about?
Oh, I'm just sayin', you know. It's very mature...
that you approve of him hittin' that sweet stuff.
-[ Elevator Bell Dings ] - You're cool as a fan, man. You're a cool, cool kid.
You're like Vin Diesel wrapped in a Jeremy Piven pie.
[ Chuckles ]

Hey, if you guys have been dyin' to spend some time in the Cleveland area,
come out next month when A.D.D.'s gonna be doin' a free arena show.
[ Cheering, Applause ]
We're gonna be opening up for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees...
the mighty Vesuvius!
[ Cheering ] Hey! Hey!
I thought you said we weren't gonna do that.
- No, I decided we were. - Guys, I really think we should discuss this later.
There's no need to discuss it. It's a done deal.
I'm not doin' that, okay? I am not opening for them.
You guys think we should open for Vesuvius?
[ All ] Yeah! [ Cheering ]
Then you better find a new drummer.
You know why you're in this band? You're a joke.
But I'm not letting my mom go out with a joke.
And I'm not missing out on the show of my life because of you.
[ Crowd Grumbling ]

Yeah. Yeah. Are you all right?
Yeah. Yeah. Top of the world. Thanks. [ Clicking ]
Except my left ankle is making a pretty serious clicking noise. [ Clicks ]
Oh. Yeah. I hear that. Yeah.
Listen. We need to talk to Curtis.
Fish, we kissed. Once. On tour.
Come on. You know what this is. This isn't real.
I mean, in real life, I am Curtis's mom, and you are--
Oh, you are just a guy who won't grow up.
I tried growing up, okay? For 20 years.
I tried it. I hated every moment of it, and I'm not goin' back to that.
Well, you know what? You never even moved forward, Fish.
You didn't even give being an adult a fair chance.
You're just-- You're just living in some moment that happened 20 years ago.
God. Hey. Kim,
you said you didn't have it figured out either. I don't.
But at least I'm living in the present.
[ Exhales ]
[ Squeaking ]
Hello, rat.
[ Sighs ]
Bye. Hey. Here we are. Check it out, guys, huh? Not bad. [ Laughs ]
Yeah, yeah. Uh-oh. Who could that be?
Guys, this is your new drummer, Paul.
Go ahead and get to know him better. Give him a nickname-- any animal you want.
[ Chuckles ] Except Fish. Obviously that would be a little awkward.
- Yeah. - Okay. Cool. Great. Well, what are you guys doin'?
Come on. Let's go. Let's rehearse. Set up. Come on.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah! There we go. All right.
Any last requests?
Be gentle.
Well, Robert, I like your r?sum?. I certainly love your objectives,
and Stan certainly speaks very highly of you.
I do notice that your last job was a few months ago.
What have you been doin' since then?
He's, uh, been takin' some time to...
recharge the old, uh, batteries.
And now I'm ready to work here until I die.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Sirens Wailing ]
I mean, I don't even want to talk to him about it because it's--
it's so frustrating, and it's so unfair.
- Hey. - Hey.
We were supposed to start two hours ago. Okay, relax.
I figured you guys could just practice with Paul. Curtis,
ever since you forced Fish out,
this went from being a band to being you and some people behind you.
I didn't force him out of the band. He quit.
Okay, you were mean...
and manipulative, and you completely forced him out.
%%%% [ Headphones: Rock ]
-This Paul thing is good for us. -Are you kidding me? Look at him.
It's like Abercrombie's making people now.
We need Fish.
You know, he's sloppy, and he's stupid,
and he's full of life.
We're not the same without him, and you know it.
Okay. Yeah. He said he won't open for Vesuvius.
Curtis, had you gone up to him and just said it from your heart...
how important it was for you and the band, he would have done it.
Mattie's right. I mean, he would have.
He would have done it in a second.
Because he loves you.
You know what, guys? I'm really not in the mood to practice, okay?
I hope you know that I'm getting paid whether we practice or not.
Shut up, Paul!
%%%% [ Ballad ]
[ Chattering ]
Hey.
So, I had no idea real life was so boring.
And soul-crushing. Don't forget soul-crushing.
That's a nice suit.
I'm gonna kill you.
You mind if I sit?
So,
Matt says that if I had asked you in a nicer way...
to open for Vesuvius, you-- you would have said yes.
Well, even though he's a genius, he is an idiot,
'cause I am not opening for no Vesuvius. Come on. You're being a baby.
No. I'm not. I'm being realistic.
You're telling me that Robert Fishman, a.k.a. Fish, has a chance to play Q Arena...
in front of 20,000 screaming fans and he's not gonna take it?
I saw Ozzy bite the head off a bat on that stage.
Yeah, you could see A.D.D. there with a really good seat, right between...
the guitar and the bass. Guitar and the bass. Best seat in the house.
No. No way.
I am not opening for Vesuvius. They can open for me.
[ Sighs ] It's not fair.
Of course it's not fair. Who said life was fair?
Don't be so mature. You want my advice?
You got a good thing going.
You-- You shouldn't be chasin' something you're never gonna get back.
You keep stealing my lines, I'm gonna punch you in the eye.
Let me tell you how it's gonna be.
You are gonna suck it up,
because A.D.D. needs a sloppy-ass Robert Fishman-type drummer.
It's just one more night, one more show. Just finish what you started.
What do you say?
I say I am the best...
sloppy-ass Robert Fishman-type drummer there is!
Ow! Ooh, I'm sorry.
Excuse me, everyone. May I have your attention, please?
I want you all to know that me and my band...
are gonna play the Q Arena.
And I want you to know that it is never too late!
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Yeah! All right.
- It is never too late to rock! - Come on, guys. Let's go. Stage dive! Stage dive!
- Stage dive! - Yeah, we're gonna bodysurf you on out of here.
Come on. Let's go. Come on, guys.
Here we go. Rock and roll!
[ Shouts ]
Ow, ow, ow, ow. My carpal tunnel. Okay. Okay.
Yes!
All right! Can you feel the excitement?
Hey, I sat right there for Metallica,
way up there for Mo��tley Cru��e behind the stage for Van Halen,
but I never thought I would be standing here.
I'm so nervous. I'm gonna be sick.
We gotta act like we're back in the garage, okay?
Yeah. Yeah, with 20,000 Vesuvius fans just chillin' on the driveway.
You think they'll like us? We're gonna make them like us, okay?
There they are. Whoo-hoo!
A.D.D.! [ Laughs ]
Fish, dude, so glad to have you back, bro. For real. For real.
Everybody at Matchbook is happy y'all worked out your thang. [ Chuckles ]
Well, you ready?
Get ready to do the show. Come on. Let's do it.
All right. Come on. Let's go.
[ No Audible Dialogue ]
Okay, guys. Follow me. Uh, I got A.D.D. right here with me.
This way.
Clear the hall, please. Vesuvius comin' through! Vesuvius comin' through!
[ Bottle Shatters ]
[ Laughing ] Uh-oh.
A.D.D., let me introduce you to the mighty Vesuvius.
[ Laughs ] How you doin'? David Marshall. We've met a couple times.
- No. - That's all right.
[ British Accent ] Hello, kiddies.
You the band that we're supposed to launch?
[ British Accent ] Gobsmacked, eh? No. It's all right, mates.
It's really difficult to meet your heroes for the first time.
Why do you guys have British accents?
Hello. Who's this geezer? "Why do you have British accents?"
Hang on. Hang on. We know him, mates. We do?
Yeah. Back from when we were American, right? Look. It's Fish.
-Who? - Oh, Trash! Trash! It's Fish!
Fishy! Fish and Chips!
Oh, right. Oh, my God. Yeah, Fish. Having a laugh.
All right, mate? Oh, Sticks, this is the bloke what you replaced.
Yeah, that's right. Fishy.
I just wanted to point out that I'm actually from England. [ All Laughing ]
[ Trash ] Shut it, you nutter. [ Lex ] He's just taking the piss.
You know, one of me mates.
So, Fish.
Been busy?
You know, I have thought about this moment every day for the last 20 years--
Oh. How nice.
wondering what I would say to you,
what I would do to you.
And... if this was a week ago,
I would have attacked you all...
like a fierce wolverine.
I'm glad it wasn't last week, then, I suppose.
Pulled the skin from your faces and...
treated myself to some human carpaccio...
or face jerky.
But that is just not me anymore.
So I want to say to you right now...
have a great show.
Oh.
Oh, cheers, man! Come on! Come on. For old time's sake!
[ All Chattering ]
All right. Move out. Let's go.
That's not bad. Huh? D.V. comin' through for you.
Meetin' your heroes. You all right? Let's do this! Whoo-hoo!
