Yeah, no, it's done.

Oh.

But if you wanted to,

like, you could still tweak it.

Why would I want to tweak it?

I think it's great.

I mean, do you think that

there's something wrong with it?

No, I just was thinking,

like, you could just

keep making it better,

and then if you wanted to,

you could, like...

Bring the vocals down

just a tiny bit, you know?

And then maybe pitch it up,

add some bass to it.

- Bass.

- You know.

And then before you

turn it in to The Voice,

you could, you know...

Well, I think it's perfect.

Oh, okay.

And I overnighted a copy

to them already.

Fingers crossed.

Okay.

That's awesome.

I'm so proud of you.

Thanks.

Good luck.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing, it means good luck.

You guys, I'm so excited!

I just feel so good to know

that this is gonna happen.

Just... you know, never know

what the criteria is,

that's all.

Oh, I've actually seen

every episode of The Voice.

I know what they're

looking for, and...

oh, my god, Crystal,

some of the sh*t

that they put on there,

it's terrible.

I'm just saying, you never know.

That's all.

- I do.

- No, you don't.

There might be

a million different reasons

they take one person

over the next, just never know.

- Oh, my god, Crystal.

- What?

That's just the reality

of the situation.

That's how these shows work.

Please, Crystal.

I hate to bring this up,

because I know it's a sore spot.

But you lost Junior Star Search

like, a hundred years ago.

And then someone like me

with talent

that's young and pretty

comes around,

and I'm sure it's hard,

and I'm sure

you're kind of jelly,

but... what?

Why did you look at her

like that?

- What?

- I saw that look you gave her.

I don't need

to be condescended to, okay?

I didn't.

F*** you, Julie.

- I didn't.

- F*** you.

I saw that look you gave.

I saw it.

Listen, she's just

trying to help.

Oh, and f*** you very much,

too, Crystal.

I just think it's really sad

how you sit around

and, like, try to bring me down

to make yourself feel better

because you were such a failure.

Okay?

You're sad to me.

You're really sad.

I hope I never get

old and bitter like you.

You're out of your f***ing mind.

You are so naive.

You think you have

a chance in hell

of getting on The Voice?

Do you?

That's never gonna happen.

Katelyn, you can't sing.

You cannot sing.

You're never gonna get

on The Voice,

not in a million years, okay?

You need to face the facts.

Wow.

Super sad.

Really pitiful.

Ellen, you're totally right.

It's just...

You're just so right.

You have to battle the haters.

I mean, to quote my favorite

Kelly Clarkson song,

"What doesn't kill you

makes you stronger."

I will say, though,

I think growing up

in this small, simple...

Leave me alone.

I think growing up in this...

You know, in a very small town

with a bunch of sad people

made me the star

that I am today.

And just, like, they...

They're just the kind of people

that don't understand talent,

and...

Aw, thank you.

Thank you, I know.

Now they see it,

like, along with the rest

of the world.

But, you know...

This is serious, okay?

So I guess you and Julian

had sex or something?

Did you know that he recorded it

on his phone?

I mean, I don't know

if that's true or not,

but that's what Christian said.

And Julian's an a**hole.

He'll share it

with, like, everybody.

I'm really sorry about earlier,

but you have to call me back,

okay?

I love you, bye.

- Dave is so good.

- Yeah?

He's just real.

Just everything about him

is just resonating as "common,"

and that's exactly what we need.

I think this

is really great for us.

I mean, this is, like...

Mm-hmm.

I think this is really gonna

put Think Tank on the map.

Oh.

I just put the link up

the other night,

and it's already getting

a ton of hits.

People are, like,

reposting it everywhere.

Wow.

And when are you coming back?

Well, we will definitely be here

at least two more days,

because the next council meeting

is Tuesday.

Huh.

Ooh, I miss you!

Yeah, you too.

Well, um, just come up

if you can.

I can do that.

- All right, bye.

- Bye.

And I would please like to have

the oatmeal and raisins,

s'il vous plait.

Sure, I'll be right back

with your coffee.

- Gracias.

- Raisins.

Thank you, au revoir.

- Raisins.

- Raisins.

Oh, I love your shirt.

- What?

- Your shirt.

I love it; it's great.

Oh, thanks.

Funny.

If we're gonna push this

on Instagram...

What?

Oh, your shirt, it's funny.

It's great; it's a great shirt.

How's it funny?

I mean, it's... you know...

No.

I don't know.

Um... I didn't mean

that it was funny like,

"Hahahaha, look at you," at all.

I mean funny like,

"Ooh, that's odd," you know?

Not, like, abnormal

in any way, at all.

Like, of course not.

Like, if anything,

it's, like, extra normal.

That's a normal shirt,

hyper-normal shirt.

Rich, come on, just sit down.

You know, I wouldn't even

think "funny" is the right word.

I think "fun."

Just think "fun."

It's a fun shirt.

It's a fun, normal shirt.

It's a normal, fun shirt.

Just fun and normal.

It's all right.

Fun shirt.

So, anyway, I was...

Oh, man.

So if we push this out

on, like Pinterest...

I got to have that shirt.

Sir.

Larson, Larson, Larson.

Hey, man.

Bro, where'd you get it?

Did you just touch me?

Where'd you get the shirt?

Larson, Larson.

I got it at "don't touch me."

I really like it.

Sir, thank you for your answer.

I got a buddy

who would love that shirt.

You know, Bran.

He started Grinder.

He would love that.

Yeah.

Wait, what?

- We're very sorry.

- We're very sorry.

Okay, they apologized.

I like her shirt too.

That's enough.

Let's go.

Let it go.

Do you remember

if they had mediums?

Oh, my god.

Because coconut milk

has nutrients.

Soy is filled with estrogen.

It's not filled with estrogen!

- Yes it is!

- Guys!

If you drink soy milk

for a year,

you're gonna grow breasts.

I drink soy milk all the time!

I think you guys

have carried over

some of that hostile energy from

the restaurant into the car.

What the hell is this?

Piquing state-wide interest

in one man's fight

for rectitude and justice,

which has led to a tremendous

outpouring of support

due to an internet video

that has gone viral.

And now 45-year-old Dave Stuben

finds himself a bit

of a local celebrity.

We sent our Action News 2

Action News 2 Action Crew

to Monticello to find out more.

If there are trees to be cut,

I would be happy to be part

of that committee,

for recommendation or refusal.

Um, hi, yeah.

Dave?

Where's Dave?

You must be Donovan.

I'm Marshal.

Hi, yeah, what's going on here?

We saw your video.

It is f***in' brills,

by the way.

And, well, we decided

to come up and help out.

Oh, yeah, well, we've kind of

got it taken care of, so...

Oh, my god.

Your video is brill, so good.

I already said that.

Also, "brill" is my word.

We talked about that.

Thank you.
