Electric Apricot Page #8

and everything,

but don't make me feel...

Oh, he wants to go

to Festeroo?

Yeah.

He's a little too eager beaver.

Yeah,

that's understandable.

He came walking in on me when

I'm taking a piss in the bathroom

and he's all like, Hey, man,

I want to be your roadie.

And it's like, hey...

He came in on purpose?

Yeah... yeah, I mean...

On your bathroom break.

You know,

I'm using the can

and he's like,

you know...

I know exactly

what to say, it's cool.

Skippy's cool.

Yeah, he's a cool dude.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

We'll rope him in...

Um, I just had a couple

of the guys came up to me

and there's just been

a small complaint about Skip.

We just need to

rope him in a little bit.

He's kind of hustling

a little too hard

and just getting

into people's space.

He followed Gordo into

the bathroom, you know?

He's taking a leak and...

You know, just kind of invading space and -

- That's weird.

It's weird and he's been

kinda schmoozing the guys

about wanting to go

on tour to Festeroo, and-

Wait, wait, wait.

He wants to go on tour,

for Festeroo?

He wants to be

our roadie on...

I got you.

Nah, I g- okay.

You know what, I'll work-

- It's no big deal.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, I got it, I got it.

Skip's my guy.

I know how to handle him.

Right.

He wants to go on tour.

We're not trying to make a big

deal. It's okay. I know exactly-

He's my guy.

I know how to handle it.

He's your guy, but-

- Yeah. No, no. I know.

We didn't want to...

Skip!

Oh.

Dammit. Skip!

You, me, talk now.

I'll talk.

You want to talk

right here?

No, the question is do you

want to talk right here?

You want to talk right here, because

we'll talk right here, if you want.

Yeah, I mean,

I don't see why not.

All right, here's what

we're going to talk about.

I was just talking to Don.

Don says that you were

talking to the guys

about being their

guitar tech or drum tech

or some such sh*t

on the road,

that you want to be

a roadie with Apricot.

Well...

True or not?

True or not?

Yeah.

Yeah, dude.

I do a lot of things!

That's all I need to know!

That's all I need to know.

Okay, because you're

an employee of mine, Skip,

you're supposed

to be working for me

and you're bothering

the guys in the band.

I'm not bothering them.

That's the f***ing last straw.

I'm getting a vibe!

Look, I saw you every day.

It's like, Can I get you this?

Can I get you that?

Are you kidding me?

I'm grooving with these guys.

You're not grooving!

Don just talked to me.

That's what I'm trying

to f***ing put in your head.

Don said

I'm not grooving!

Dude, I'm grooving.

The f***?

Are you kidding?

I'm working magic

with these guys, buddy.

What are you talking about?

The only person that works magic...

Why are you mad?

with the f***ing band is me

because I'm the f***ing

magic man.

End of f***ing story.

You're trying to brown-nose

your f***ing way in.

I'm the go-to guy...

That's not brown-nosing,

dude! Guess what, motherf***er.

Go to your f***ing home

because you're f***ing fired!

Step! It's over!

Go, go-to guy. Go!

Let's go!

Are you serious?

Go! Done!

F***ing done!

Done! Go!

That was heavy, man.

What the hell

was that all about?

I don't know, dude.

Jesus!

Skip just got canned.

You want some footage?

You want some

f***ing footage, buddy?

I'll give you some footage.

You ever heard

of Drew Shackleford?

I have.

And he hasn't heard

the last of me.

I worked my ass off

for that guy.

My ass!

F*** you, Drew!

You hear that?

That's a big

f*** you, buddy!

Ready? Here we go.

What's going on

with the party?

What's going on

with the party?

There we go.

Dude.

That's it.

That's it.

Did you hear my drums?

They were ripping.

Dude, you were nailing it.

You hear that?

I think we found a rainbow.

I think I listened today

to one of the most

beautiful-

beautiful rainbows that

I've heard in a long time.

And I think part of that...

part of the thanks should go

to Dr. Lefkowitz, man,

for just bringing us together

and making us all feel right.

Thanks for making

us all right, dude.

It was my pleasure.

It's good to be part

of the team, the team.

Yeah.

Appreciate it, man.

Sorry about all

that sweater stuff.

We've come out

on the other side, right?

He was able to really get

into the groove here,

became part of our family.

Drew, I wasn't sure

about this whole thing.

I just- you know, hey,

you were right, so...

Using physics...

Well, reality is you make

your first record once.

Right?

Seriously.

It's like, you have

your first baby once.

I hear you what

you're saying, dude.

You eat your first

ham sandwich once.

I believe in you guys

so much, and, uh...

you guys gave back

what I gave.

Thank you for having us and

for putting this all together

because we really

couldn't do it without you.

We wouldn't be here

without you, you know?

We'd be somewhere else.

In the end, we have

really produced a beautiful,

beautiful bouncing baby album.

I'm happy, dude.

It was a...

It was a good finish.

It was a wild ride.

Next step:
Festeroo.

The camaraderie amongst

musicians remains unchanged,

as with minstrels

of ages past

following well-worn roads

to musical fulfillment.

People talk about Route 66.

Well, I'll tell you

something right now.

I'm alive.

Ain't no jive.

We're cruisin'

on up Highway 5.

Highway 5,

take a look at that.

Hey, man.

Hang on to your hats!

I'm so excited

about Festeroo

I actually need to do

more meditating every day

than I usually do.

This is my space.

I need my world

where I can meditate...

Make love to myself

in ways that aren't sexual,

but is love.

We got, what, six,

seven guys on this thing?

And slowly, the motorhome

is becoming the odorhome,

if you know

what I'm saying.

Look at all that

tie-dye and hair, baby.

Nothing but tie-dye and hair.

Awesome bunch of chicks!

You see that?

Holy sh*t!

That was a bunch of chicks!

Whoa, dude!

Slow down! Hey!

I got a new song.

Ready?

Psychic officer

Come on down

You're the psychic officer

You bust like an oven

You're like...

That sounds familiar.

You're like a-

Well, all songs kind of

sound familiar.

Officer

Do it. Ready?

Psychic officer

O-Officer

Yes.

Psychic officer

I've heard this song, man.

The queen

has insects for eyes

She lives

in a kingdom of lies

I swear to God, if I had

a nickel for every idiot

that I see on the road,

I'd be a rich man.

Hey! That's what

I'm talking about.

Learn how to drive, a**hole!

Jesus Christ!

You know, we weren't

supposed to be on this RV.

We were supposed to get, uh-

We were supposed to get the bus

from String Cheese Incident,

their first that they took

to the Festeroo

for their first appearance.

It's called Bussy.

And I had it totally lined up,

but it broke down in Ojai.

So I had to just go

to EL Monte RV

and rent an RV

for the band

so we could take

this RV to Festeroo.

Big f***ing a**holes!

Where do we go?
