Why don't we take

a few minutes' break, actually.

I think that would be best.

- Okay.

I think it has some good

long-term potential

for me and for my practice.

Well, I've been looking

at a boat, to buy a boat.

I'm not saying this is

going to give me the-

It's a good-looking boat.

It's a house boat,

but it's...

I don't want

to go into detail.

I just think this is going

to really help the room.

It's going to help

clear the space for us

to express ourselves,

to open up with each other.

Herschel, I agree.

I think it's a step

in the right direction.

I also think

this position change

with the two of you

swapping spaces

will help eliminate

some of the tension.

I mean, I really

was feeling two camps

sort of battling

with each other here,

and I think this is a better,

more open, more honest way.

Honest way to...

Dude,

that was my coffee.

It felt really good

for me to open up

and to tell the band

some of my secrets,

and to, uh,

become vulnerable.

I'm trying to set

the tone for everyone.

I just want to say

right off the bat,

at group level, that I have

an incredibly small penis.

Okay.

Can we make a record now?

I think we're closer

to being able to.

We've got the sage

in the cup,

we've got Herschel's

small penis.

Well, I mean,

Dr. Bucky, um...

It's just Bucky.

If you're going to call the Bucky

part, you wouldn't say Doctor.

It's just... it's either

Doctor or Bucky.

Okay, um, Bucky,

it just seems, you know-

Can I be perfectly honest?

I just-

You know what,

I take that back, actually.

Dr. Bucky is okay.

Okay.

This whole therapy thing

is sort of a new thing for me.

I'm not used

to exposing myself.

I don't have a small

penis, but if I did,

it'd be difficult for me

to talk to you about it.

And it would really

be difficult for me

to reveal that sort

of information

to somebody named Bucky.

Maybe this is part of

my revelation, is I just-

When I think of Bucky, I think

of a marionette or something.

You know, howdy...

it's Bucky Time.

It's Bucky Doody Time

I didn't choose

the nickname,

it was kind of given to me

on the playground.

And, um...

You got called Bucky?

Yeah, and it's

something that l-

Did you have buck teeth?

Yeah, my teeth

were maybe sticking out

a little more

than other people.

What'd they say?

Yeah, they were like that.

I'd actually appreciate it-

- Did you talk funny too?

Maybe you shouldn't do that,

actually, because that's-

See, now you're

kind of striking.

There was a kid

we used to call Bucky,

had big buck teeth

sticking out.

He talked funny

and he whistled, too.

Hey, you guys,

give me back my ball!

Did that make you angry?

Screw you, Bucky,

you little b*tch!

It's Bucky Doody time

It's Bucky Doody time

Okay, that's enough.

I don't think it's very...

That's not-

Whoa, what did you

get upset for?

Sorry, I blew up.

Dude, I don't want to

bum him out, but is he-

So wait a minute, guys,

we don't nec-

I mean, are we going

to do this thing or what?

Come on, seriously,

Aiwass,

I love Mei-

Mei Pang.

She's a sweetheart,

you know?

And she's, you know...

She's pretty cute, too.

I say we do it!

Huh!

Let's just the four of us

make the record.

Listen, listen.

Team Apricot!

All I say-

This is what I think. Team Apricot!

This is what I think.

Let's just do it.

We just don't talk anymore,

we just make music.

Yes!

All right.

Can I get- I gotta get

another cup of coffee.

Dude, swear to God, though,

did you see his sweater?

Yeah, it was, like...

That was, like, Cosby Show.

I just got the news.

I just told the guys.

We have been confirmed

for Festeroo-

second day, third stage,

opening slot.

Thank you very much.

We'll take it.

We're on our way.

You know, I think Apricot

getting a slot in Festeroo

is obviously a great

bonus for Apricot,

but conversely, I think

you have to look at Festeroo

and the diamond-studded rainbow

that they're getting

having Apricot at Festeroo.

If you ever take a journey,

travel far and wide

Just sit down

next to yourself

And start looking

on the inside

And everything

that you never knew

Well, you can now know

So grab your hat

and your walkin' shoes

Pick yourself up and go

Walking down

the backroads of my mind

Strolling through

the kaleidoscope...

I've been scribbling some...

just lyric ideas

and a few thoughts I had.

And I don't want to impose

any of my ideas,

but have you considered kind of

looking to group therapy

and therapists as a way in

for some lyric ideas?

Nah.

See it's like

a polyrhythmic thing.

Right.

I use these three fingers.

It's like if you

felt my fingers,

they're like...

it's like leather.

It's like a baseball mitt

right there.

It's really tough.

Well-

Give us your moves, man.

I don't really

have any moves.

I just...

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Check it out, out, out, out

- Out, out, out

Check it out, out, out

Check it out Check it out

Out, out, out

Hey, man, what's up?

What's up, dude?

How's it going?

Just a little fuel,

you know, a little fuel.

Ham Sandwich, got my

Rockstar energy drink.

Look at that. Those are good,

man. You should be drinking that.

You guys are going

to be rock stars, huh?

You got the whole

Festeroo thing going.

You know,

it's feeling good.

Yeah, Festeroo. Doesn't

rock any harder than that.

We always talk about

that Festeroo thing.

I think it's going

to be great.

You guys see me doing my

savvy... savvy magic in here

and it's like, you know, it

doesn't have to just be in here,

it can be on the road,

too, so...

Just, um-

Cool, man.

You want

another Rockstar?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Too much Rockstar

for you?

Yeah.

Okay. Talk to you

later, man.

Lots of good times

at Uncle Pete's party

Millie's Hacky Sacking

with Cousin Arty

Annie's got a henna tattoo

Grandad's blowing

that didgeridoo

Hey. Finger sandwiches, guys?

Yeah!

I made them.

Hey, what's up, man?

Whoa!

Hey, what's happening?

Pretty nice.

You doing all right?

Uh, yeah, I'm okay.

Yeah.

Doing all right. Heard you

guys are doing Festeroo.

Yeah, it's pretty heavy.

Yeah, that is heavy,

that's-

You want a towel?

Uh, yeah, thanks.

That's awesome, man.

You guys are going on the road.

I want to go on the road.

I'd love to be

a part of it,

help you guys out whatever

you want, you know?

I'm your roadie, dude.

I'm the dude you go to

when you're on the road.

Take me.

Well, we'll keep that in mind.

Talk to Don and...

I just want to put that

out there, you know?

I'm not trying to be...

say, hey, you know...

bear hug, take me!

Right, right, right,

right, right.

I'm just trying to say

I went to music school

so I can help you out,

you know?

Cool. All right.

Okay. Thanks, man.

All right.

You guys want to take

a little meeting?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't want to make

a big deal out of this.

Right.

But that Skippy dude?

Sure.

He's kinda tripping

me out a little bit.

What do you mean?

He wants to go on tour
