---

From what you've read?

Yeah. It's my image

of New York.

Anyway, I'm gonna go back in.

It was nice chatting with you.

Nice chatting with you, too.

Do... hey... do...

Can I buy you a drink inside?

- Uh, yeah.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. -All right. All

right, yeah, good.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome, Jason black.

How long have you guys

known each other?

We've known each other

since we were kids.

- That's so cute.

- We've stayed friends.

- We're still really close.

- Do you always tour together?

No, no, no, no, no.

This is our first.

- That's very brave.

- Jason black, everybody.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for coming.

Feel free to come back

every week

if you ever wanna try

anything out or anything.

I have to admit, I'm a little

bit of a Jason black fan.

Sure, yeah.

Good looking,

charming, barefoot.

What's not to like?

Exactly, that's what...

It's the bare feet.

- That's why they're all here.

- That's why I like him.

- They're all here. Foot fetishists.

- Yeah, no.

None of them

really like his music.

What about you?

What are your aspirations?

- My aspirations?

- Yeah.

Right now I'm just kind of like

focusing on the music thing.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

So what about you,

Mr. comedian?

What are your big aspirations?

I just wanna be

one of the greats.

I wanna be really,

really good at this.

Well, I think those

are two different things.

- Like?

- Being great and good?

Yeah. What if you

can only be good?

Like I feel like I gave up

a whole career path to do this.

So, I guess my real aspiration

is to see it through,

see if I can really pull it off.

Very noble.

To pursuing your dreams

and being very poor.

- But happy.

- But happy.

Just chug this, you'll be happy.

Hey, how's it going?

Jason, this is Bryn.

Bryn, this is Jason.

- It's so nice to meet you.

- It's so nice to meet you.

This bachelorette party

just bought me a pitcher

of fat tire, isn't that awesome?

- God, you have a killer voice.

- Thank you.

- I mean, really, really great.

- That's really nice.

Yeah, hey, and you were great.

I don't know if you could see it,

the lights were blinding you

in the face, whatever,

but there were a lot of people

laughing, dude, okay?

- I don't know if they were expecting comedy.

- It was a weird room.

- It actually was freaky.

- Yeah, this room wasn't...

- It's not made for comedy.

- Yeah, you were great.

- I think so. -But you know I

have you listed on my website

as a comedian, so my fans

are going to be expecting comedy

- every time i...

- The new fans.

- It sounds so lame. -No, no, I'm

actually a fan of your music.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

- You know my music?

- I do know, yes.

Wow, that is so nice of you. How

long have you been writing music?

I've actually been writing

for like a couple of months.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- You'd never know.

- Thank you.

- You are so comfortable up there.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, really beautiful.

- Yeah, I'm... i...

- It's crazy to meet you.

- I know, it's crazy.

This is awesome.

It's his real tail

on the back of a wheelchair.

Looks like it's bleached.

You guys want another round?

- I can't. I'm done.

- What? No.

Yeah, I'm pretty spent, too.

- Really?

- Yeah.

It's the first night

of the tour. Come on!

Yeah, I have a feeling there's

gonna be more nights like this.

All right, whatever. Well, I

got my fans to hang out with.

I'm gonna walk back to the hotel.

I'll meet you there?

- Yeah.

- Where you staying?

The Fernwood. Oh, that's

right near where I am.

- I can drop you off.

- Oh, yeah?

- That would be great.

- Can I finish this?

- Yeah, go for it.

- It was so nice to meet you.

- I'll see you in a bit.

- Okay, nice meeting you, too.

- It was a really fun night.

- You're great.

You're great.

Hey! You can't touch

the ball with your hand.

- It was so loud, like in the treble?

- I know.

I think that's why I have

that ringing in my ears.

You were like right inside

of the speaker, as well.

- Bryn!

- Oh, hey!

Hey, are you leaving

or are you...

- Oh! Are you?

- I'm up. Yeah, I'm up next.

Oh, sh*t, yes.

I'm not gonna leave.

- I'm gonna stay.

- Yeah, okay, awesome.

- Stella, Paul.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.

She's like

the next Regina Spektor.

- She's so amazing. -Oh, really?

I love Regina Spektor.

Okay, bye.

- She watches my cat.

- Oh, really?

So I feel sort of...

She's great, but, yeah.

So I'm gonna...

Yeah, I'm gonna...

And walk back to the hotel.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- Okay, I'm just gonna...

- Yeah, totally.

- Okay.

- All right.

- I'll see you later.

- Thank you, Paul.

- It was so nice to meet you.

- You, too.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Thank you?

I know how to open...

A door. Okay,

I'm fine. I'm fine.

- I'm fine now.

- Close the door.

Paul, hey, I got good news.

I got us a late checkout.

That's amazing.

Now close the f***ing door!

So we're leaving at noon.

Hey, Paul.

I'm really excited.

I think you're in the wrong bed.

Hello?

Oh, hi, how you doing?

I'm doing well, thanks, yeah.

No, no, this is perfect.

Yeah, I'm right between

two meetings.

This is a great time.

Uh-huh. Well, no,

Cyle, Cyle with a c,

he's my old partner.

Yeah, no, he's a great guy.

- Dude, shut the f*** up, dude.

- Yes.

- Come on! -Could you just

hold on for one quick sec?

- Shut up. -One of my

designers has a question.

Yeah, Jack?

No, these designs look great.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- What are you doing?

Hi, yes, sorry. It's been a

little bit nutty this week.

Well, no, so, Cyle said

that you guys are thinking

about maybe bringing

on a new writer?

Really?

- Okay.

- No, way.

- Hold on one second.

- Really?

- Jack, those look great.

- Okay.

- That's all I need from you.

- -Yup.

Where you going?

Paul, where...

You left the... you can't

leave the car running.

What are you doing?

What are we doing here, man?

Achievements?

Specifically comedic.

- Hey Paul!

- Plot endeavors.

- Yes, right.

- Are you running from me?

- Right, well, i... -okay, you're

gonna run from me? All right.

Yes.

You see what you just

gonna make me do?

You almost just killed me.

I think you're thinking

of the Simpson's character.

Yeah, no, this is the guy

who caught the foul ball.

I can hammer time.

I actually don't know

where he is right now.

- That's a very good question.

- I can hammer time.

But, for me, it's all about

what is the right medium

for the message?

So, theoretically,

you don't hire him,

you should give me the position,

I can be available anytime.

Thank you so much. Bye-bye.

Dude, either commit

to this tour or get off, okay?

- Commit to the tour?

- Yeah.

I'm keeping options open.

What's wrong with that?

No! Don't f***ing

b-plan, dude!

Hey, you could tend bar,

wait tables,

do anything but f***ing

go back into advertising.

It'll suck you back in,

then, whoosh,

you'll be a drone in sector d.

I'm here, right?
