Rufus is a closet alcoholic with only one thing left to live for, his family's historic concert venue, but he's running out of ways to save it.

00:00:00Daddy, what's that sound?
00:00:02Don't worry, honey.
00:00:03Let's choose Kramer Jay and Captain Dingus.
00:00:10And we are back!
00:00:1196.5
00:00:12W-E-C-C
00:00:17Rocks!
00:00:18We are back in the grotto.
00:00:19I'm Kramer Jay with my co-host, Captain Dingus.
00:00:22Welcome to the grotto.
00:00:23The towels are clean, but the water is dirty.
00:00:26In the studio today, we have Rufus Paisley from the beloved rock club, Rollers.
00:00:32And you guys are celebrating a big anniversary tomorrow.
00:00:35How many years do you guys have now?
00:00:37Hard to believe it, but 100.
00:00:39What kind of gift do you even get for a 100-year anniversary?
00:00:42How about a coffin?
00:00:43Okay, all right.
00:00:44You are a sick man in more ways than one.
00:00:47That's a spicy meatball.
00:00:52Now, Rufus, tell us, how do you keep a place like Rollers open for 100 years?
00:00:57That's a great question.
00:00:59Such a great question, you don't even have an answer.
00:01:02You know, it's just, I don't want to go on an uninvited rant.
00:01:06No, please, consider yourself invited.
00:01:08Okay, I mean, it's just an interesting time to be running the club right now.
00:01:12I mean, I feel like the old-timers are still on the block.
00:01:16You know, the disease is really taking hold.
00:01:20Yeah, you know, Rufus, there is a new musical venue, and you don't need an agent,
00:01:25you don't need a record deal, you don't need a manager,
00:01:28and you don't even need talent.
00:01:30It's called the internet.
00:01:32Ah, says the dude on the radio.
00:01:34Oh, burn alert.
00:01:36That hurt.
00:01:37That hurt.
00:01:38I expected more from you.
00:01:39And now your parents, your dad, Winston, we've had him on the show before.
00:01:43He kept Rollers humming for damn near 40 years
00:01:46and famously turned this obscure little jazz nightclub into the staple of our local music scene.
00:01:53He booked rock bands, orchestras, singer-songwriters.
00:01:57Prince.
00:01:58Prince who?
00:01:59Okay, Captain Ding is still sleeping, so go on.
00:02:02I mean, listen, seriously, he booked talent.
00:02:05Good music and people with a great voice.
00:02:07Euro Thomas, the one who's playing the anniversary,
00:02:10my dad's one of the first people to get behind him, so we're just going to keep it going.
00:02:13So, Rufus, before coming back to Rollers, you were in a spicy little band.
00:02:17Mm-hmm, the Duty Man.
00:02:18I can just chime in here, I love that name.
00:02:19And now your former bandmate, Tyler Bolton, has minted three platinum records
00:02:24and a couple of Grammys in under five years.
00:02:28Do you ever regret leaving Life on the Road behind?
00:02:36Ah.
00:02:38Oh.
00:02:43Yeah.
00:03:06Some say, why me?
00:03:13I say, why me?
00:03:18Somebody tell me.
00:03:27Oh, oh, yeah.
00:03:29Yeah.
00:03:38He left you, so you're taking it out on me.
00:03:45Giving me nothing, no, but hurting misery.
00:03:52I'll never be, I'll never be the same.
00:03:59Pain is the name of your game.
00:04:03Pain's the name of your game.
00:04:07All right, all right, all right, all right.
00:04:09I brought you guys together because I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you
00:04:13from the bottom of my heart for being here.
00:04:16I really can't believe it's already been five years since we took over.
00:04:19Since Mom and Dad died.
00:04:22Mom and Dad died?
00:04:24Yes, and truth be told, Maddie's the one who said reviving rollers would never work.
00:04:30So because of that, because we did, yeah, come on, let's go, baby.
00:04:34I hope you wrote this ahead of time.
00:04:36Yes.
00:04:37I did, I, come on, I did tell Rufus that this wouldn't work, and to tell you the truth,
00:04:41it scares the shit out of me, but I love you all.
00:04:48And thanks for coming on this journey with us.
00:04:51All right, get the words out.
00:04:52So, I worked for a great year.
00:04:57And, and, to our Mom and Dad, we wouldn't be here without them.
00:05:00Thank you.
00:05:01Cheers.
00:05:02Cheers, cheers, cheers.
00:05:10Let's go down there, let's go down there.
00:05:12Move it.
00:05:13All right.
00:05:16Go forth, you drunkard.
00:05:18I'll see you downstairs.
00:05:21Let the Lord lead you.
00:05:51Fire, fire, fire.
00:05:53Do you want to toss it on this thing?
00:05:56Yeah, yeah.
00:05:58Whoa, ho, ho.
00:06:02Ow.
00:06:09Rufus, it's Stan from the bank.
00:06:14No, I'm not trying to throw him under the bus, but your business manager, shit, what's his name?
00:06:19Donnie.
00:06:21He told me that someone's making a real offer to buy rollers.
00:06:24And I know he's not the sharpest crayon in the canister, but listen to him this time, Rufus,
00:06:29because Potter is grinding my balls into dust.
00:06:34You could dissolve them in water, so be a man.
00:06:38Put your tail between your legs and take whatever they're offering.
00:06:43Shit, take me to Tahiti or something.
00:06:45God knows I need a vacation from this asshole.
00:06:47I'm calling for you, kid.
00:06:50I'll see you on the other side.
00:06:52E-C-C, this is Kramer J and co's Captain Dingus coming to you live from Toronto.
00:06:59Now this may be a prank, but our producer Jerry just handed us two tickets for Caller 69
00:07:05to see the Wonkies at Rollers this weekend.
00:07:08The Wonkies?
00:07:10Their big hit, That's My Pudding, is taking the world by storm.
00:07:15Times have changed.
00:07:17Caller 69, here's your chance to snag free Wonkies tickets to one of the three nights at Rollers.
00:07:24You're not throwing vanity under the sun.
00:07:27One person has no other.
00:07:29Leave aside your brother.
00:07:31Yet there's no way to all this toil, so that he never has for you.
00:07:35I'm toiling and depriving myself of pleasure.
00:07:38This is also vanity and unhappy business.
00:07:42Hey, man.
00:07:44You okay?
00:07:53The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.
00:08:13Hey!
00:08:15Come on, man.
00:08:17Huh? You good?
00:08:19What'd you say?
00:08:21Have you listened to that link yet?
00:08:23Oh, no. I'm putting it on my list, though.
00:08:25You need to listen to that now, man. Slack it.
00:08:27Slack it.
00:08:57And the people say,
00:09:00Give the people what they want.
00:09:03I'll keep telling lies until I make it.
00:09:10You think I got what you want.
00:09:13Everything I have is for the taking.
00:09:28Come on.
00:09:46Aw, what the hell, man?
00:09:48Oh, sorry, Rufus.
00:09:50Hey, Carl, man.
00:09:52I said if I'm in here, you can't be in here.
00:09:54I'm sorry, Rufus, but there's plenty of room.
00:09:57It's not...
00:09:59You gonna use my soap?
00:10:01I forgot, man.
00:10:03I'll just use a little.
00:10:05You got that good soap.
00:10:07Woo-hoo!
00:10:09Damn, Carl, man.
00:10:11I was having a good time in here, man.
00:10:13You ain't gotta leave.
00:10:15Nah, I'm done, man.
00:10:17Enjoy yourself, man.
00:10:19Ah!
00:10:21Hey, Rufus, did you use all the hot water?
00:10:23Rufus!
00:10:54A little.
00:10:58A little.
00:11:00Um, hey.
00:11:02So, you want the good news first or the bad news?
00:11:06I don't actually have any good news.
00:11:08It's just bad news.
00:11:10So, I'm gonna start with that.
00:11:14So, Gordon and Balzac are thinking about getting creative.
00:11:19So, what that means is, like, playing dirty.
00:11:21Like pulling a string with the city.
00:11:23Yeah, I'm capable of using my own skills of deduction.
00:11:25Thank you very much.
00:11:27It's a reduction, actually.
00:11:29Assholes!
00:11:30We should sell.
00:11:31I don't wanna sell.
00:11:32Man, they're gonna destroy the entire neighborhood.
00:11:34Maybe, but it's not really your job to stop that from happening.
00:11:37Man, they can just eat a whole bag of pickled pubes.
00:11:46Have you talked to Maddie about this yet?
00:11:49Nah, not yet.
00:11:52You should talk to Maddie.
00:11:55Yeah, I will.
00:11:57I just wait until after the show is over when things are less...
00:12:01up in the air.
00:12:05What?
00:12:09Hey, Maeve.
00:12:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:12He's not interested at the moment.
00:12:15Uh, no, no, no.
00:12:17Don't come here.
00:12:19Here.
00:12:21I was here.
00:12:23I was here alone, sweating it out for two years while you were out on tours.
00:12:27Yeah, well, not lately.
00:12:29Not lately at all.
00:12:32Look, Maddie.
00:12:34We made this baby together.
00:12:36Baby?
00:12:37Okay, so now that we're having problems, we just can't run away.
00:12:41What do you mean?
00:12:42Get off me.
00:12:47This is Charlie.
00:12:48No, it's not.
00:12:50Listen, listen.
00:12:51You know I can't fight babies.
00:12:52No, you can fight me.
00:12:53You're being a pussy.
00:12:54Then come at me, then, you bitches!
00:12:57Come get it!
00:12:59I swear to God I'm gonna murder you.
00:13:00You think this is...
00:13:04I'm not falling for that.
00:13:05Oh, no, I'm hot.
00:13:06Wait.
00:13:07I'm hot.
00:13:08Seriously?
00:13:12I think...
00:13:13I think I'm having a heart attack.
00:13:17Your heart's going insane.
00:13:18That's not how you tell if I'm having a heart attack.
00:13:20Well, how am I supposed to tell?
00:13:21I don't know.
00:13:22Okay, then how do you know?
00:13:24That's not how I tell.
00:13:25I don't know.
00:13:26Look, lay flat.
00:13:28Ow, my nose is tingling.
00:13:31Deep breaths.
00:13:32Okay?
00:13:33Come on.
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:35Come on, Rufus.
00:13:37Deep breaths.
00:13:39Try.
00:13:40I can't.
00:13:41I can't do it.
00:13:42Try.
00:13:43In through the nose.
00:13:46Out through the mouth.
00:13:49In through the nose.
00:13:52Out through the mouth.
00:13:55You're just having a panic attack.
00:13:57Come on.
00:14:01I don't think I have anxiety.
00:14:03We all have anxiety.
00:14:04Okay.
00:14:05All right.
00:14:06Okay, you just...
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:08All right, you just...
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11Okay.
00:14:12Okay.
00:14:13Okay.
00:14:14Okay.
00:14:15Okay.
00:14:16Okay.
00:14:17Okay.
00:14:18All right.
00:14:19It's just all up in my business.
00:14:34Thanks, Mom.
00:14:38Sure.
00:14:42What are you doing now?
00:14:44Stress eating.
00:14:47Yeah.
00:14:54Stop me in exactly 60 seconds.
00:14:57Same.
00:15:12No.
00:15:14We have to take the offer.
00:15:16Look, Maddie.
00:15:19You know,
00:15:20the show's gonna get the bang off of our backs,
00:15:22and then we're gonna start climbing out of this hole.
00:15:25I mean, we'll have to do a bunch of
00:15:27birthday parties and homeschool proms, but
00:15:31I mean, we'll make it work.
00:15:33Then what?
00:15:36After things go back to normal, I'll just buy you out.
00:15:38I mean, because what am I gonna do with a
00:15:40shit ton of money anyway, right?
00:15:44Like, I'm gonna pay for my kid to go to college,
00:15:47buy a house so I can live in it alone,
00:15:53buy myself a music career.
00:15:56Yeah.
00:16:02You know they're dead, right?
00:16:04What's that supposed to mean?
00:16:05What's that supposed to mean?
00:16:07It means you can stop trying to earn your place in the family.
00:16:10I mean, this is not about them.
00:16:14You don't have to prove anything to Jane either.
00:16:16Please.
00:16:17I just...
00:16:23I just need some more time.
00:16:35How long is the offer alive?
00:16:37Till Sunday.
00:16:39Yeah.
00:16:42Please.
00:16:55I'm pregnant.
00:16:56With what? A pause?
00:16:59That was a good one.
00:17:01With a baby.
00:17:02I'm gonna be an uncle?
00:17:07Wow.
00:17:11Is it Jamie's?
00:17:12Come here, come here.
00:17:16Oh, that's awesome!
00:17:18Oh!
00:17:19Oh, thank you, Ruby.
00:17:22Oh, man, man.
00:17:24That changes things a lot.
00:17:25That's why I feel like maybe it's me.
00:17:27No, no, no.
00:17:28When I have my nephew and my niece,
00:17:29like, actually, we should just make it a girl.
00:17:31I'm thinking it's a boy.
00:17:32We'll see.
00:17:33But regardless,
00:17:36we gotta save Rollers for her.
00:17:39Rufus?
00:17:40We have to save it.
00:17:42For her.
00:17:49Hmm?
00:17:52Come on, Mommy.
00:17:54Have Uncle Rufy.
00:17:56See, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:17:59See the resemblance?
00:18:03I guess we could see how this show goes before we make her.
00:18:06Thank you.
00:18:07Thank you so much.
00:18:08Thank you for your inspiration.
00:18:11Oh, this is great.
00:18:13Thank you.
00:18:14Thank you, seriously.
00:18:17This is awesome.
00:18:18All right.
00:18:19Seriously.
00:18:21Yeah.
00:18:25What?
00:18:26I tried to keep her out.
00:18:27Who?
00:18:29Her.
00:18:36Mr. Paisley.
00:18:37Mrs. Gordon.
00:18:51Thank you.
00:18:58You first.
00:19:00It's not poisoned.
00:19:05See?
00:19:09You can't fool me.
00:19:11I've seen the Princess Bride.
00:19:18And luckily, I, too, am immune to the effects of iocane powder.
00:19:22So it's a stalemate.
00:19:23This doesn't have to end badly, Rufus.
00:19:26It's Mr. Paisley to you.
00:19:28After all, Rufus, despite my best efforts,
00:19:31my client insists on overpaying you for your property
00:19:35instead of waiting to inquire it once the bank forecloses on it.
00:19:40It seems that he doesn't like to admit defeat,
00:19:44much like someone else we know.
00:19:47But if you insist on overpaying,
00:19:49much like someone else we know.
00:19:52But if you insist on being stubborn,
00:19:54we will acquire the property eventually.
00:19:59You see, we have developed an arsenal full of tactics.
00:20:08You think you can buy anything you want, huh?
00:20:13Well, not anything, but...
00:20:19most things, yeah.
00:20:20Well, you can't buy me.
00:20:22And you can't buy rollers.
00:20:24Especially not with money.
00:20:29Or this jar of delicious cherries.
00:20:33I found your old music.
00:20:38It's good.
00:20:46What do you know about good music?
00:20:47I followed Pink Floyd for three years before I went to law school.
00:20:52Wow, wow.
00:20:54That's super cool.
00:20:56Can I ask you a question about that?
00:21:00How does Maeve Gordon go from a David Gilmore banging groupie
00:21:04to a heartless corporate lackey?
00:21:07She grows up.
00:21:09Depressing.
00:21:10Seems like you're having a barrel of laughs right now yourself.
00:21:17Yeah.
00:21:48♪
00:22:00Too fast
00:22:04Says you better slow down
00:22:10How can you make it last
00:22:12If you're moving too fast
00:22:19Slow down, baby
00:22:22Don't move so fast
00:22:25Now make it right, girl
00:22:28You gotta make it last by slowing down
00:22:43If you want it
00:22:45I'm not your perfect angel
00:23:09The wonkies are here
00:23:11They're here
00:23:12I'll meet you down there
00:23:14What's the matter, man?
00:23:15This is the biggest act we've ever booked.
00:23:16I know, man. I'm pumped.
00:23:19We sell out all three nights.
00:23:20We'll nip this thing right in the butt.
00:23:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:23I told you I'm pumped.
00:23:24But, uh, did you mail that check?
00:23:27Rufus, come on.
00:23:28What kind of business manager would I be if...
00:23:35Yep.
00:23:41♪
00:23:46Yo, Rufus, more in the ears.
00:23:48Got it.
00:23:51Is he getting a pop?
00:23:52Pop, pop, pop, pop check.
00:23:54Pop, pop, pop, pop a check.
00:23:56Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
00:23:58Get that pop.
00:24:02I think we're golden.
00:24:03Rock and roll.
00:24:05You wouldn't know rock and roll is the type of shit I watch.
00:24:10We're good.
00:24:11We're good.
00:24:13We've got you booked for three nights.
00:24:16My special boy got electrocuted.
00:24:17I'm gonna try the barrier outlet.
00:24:18Okay.
00:24:25The fuck?
00:24:26Yeah, by your inflatable bear.
00:24:27It's your electricity.
00:24:29He's not even injured.
00:24:30I know.
00:24:31Thank God, but a lawyer said
00:24:34that we can claim the losses with our insurance company
00:24:36and we'll still get paid.
00:24:38So we're gonna do that.
00:24:41What about your fans?
00:24:43Well, what about us, man?
00:24:44We were banking on these shows.
00:24:45I know.
00:24:46That was a bummer.
00:24:49Okay.
00:24:51Begging.
00:24:52Okay, all right.
00:24:53Begging.
00:24:54Begging.
00:24:56Ian.
00:24:57Good.
00:24:58I'm begging you, man, please.
00:24:59Just play the shows we agreed to.
00:25:01Begging.
00:25:02Play the shows we agreed to.
00:25:03Begging.
00:25:04Please, just play the shows we agreed to.
00:25:06Begging.
00:25:07Play the shows we agreed to.
00:25:08Thank you.
00:25:09Play the shows we agreed to, man.
00:25:10Begging.
00:25:11Begging.
00:25:12Thinking.
00:25:13Thinking.
00:25:14Thinking.
00:25:15Thinking.
00:25:16Thinking.
00:25:17Thinking.
00:25:18Thinking.
00:25:19Thinking.
00:25:20Thinking.
00:25:21Thinking.
00:25:22Thought.
00:25:23Rufus, we've been on the road
00:25:24playing this garbage for six months
00:25:25and the universe just handed us three paid days off.
00:25:30Take them!
00:25:34You'll figure it out.
00:25:35Thanks, man.
00:25:36You're a grade A FDA approved clown, bro.
00:25:40You're the one that booked us.
00:25:42What the?
00:25:47That was rough.
00:25:48That was rough.
00:25:50What are you doing in here, man?
00:25:52I was looking for an opportunity to interject
00:25:54and it never really came.
00:25:56Rufy, my baby boy,
00:26:00there are 500 people out there.
00:26:03You want to pay good money to see them.
00:26:06Tomorrow night, there will be more.
00:26:08The night after that, 500 more.
00:26:10I know, I know, I know.
00:26:11Then please pursue him.
00:26:13Beg him.
00:26:14I am begging you to beg him.
00:26:15I already begged.
00:26:16I was down on my knees.
00:26:17I begged, I begged, I begged.
00:26:19I didn't hear you offer to jerk him off.
00:26:21I would have hit him.
00:26:22I can't believe you didn't hit him.
00:26:29Ian got shitty.
00:26:31Yes.
00:26:34Maybe it's the universe telling us we're selling out.
00:26:37But we're a concert venue.
00:26:38Selling out is what we're supposed to try to do.
00:26:40Yeah, but not like that.
00:26:42I get it.
00:26:43Look, man, I don't like the wonkies any more than you do,
00:26:46but if we don't get the bank a check on Monday,
00:26:49they're going to foreclose on rollers.
00:26:51Yeah.
00:26:53We'll figure it out without them.
00:27:00Chaz!
00:27:01Hey, man.
00:27:02What's up, Rufus?
00:27:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:04That's actually why I was calling.
00:27:06We had a little mix-up.
00:27:07And I was wondering if you and the Afro Girls
00:27:09wanted to come down and rock out.
00:27:12Uh, you just bumped us.
00:27:14Yeah, yeah.
00:27:15It's kind of lame you're calling me back like that.
00:27:16Chaz, come on, man.
00:27:17I'll make it up to you.
00:27:18OK, got to go, Rufus.
00:27:19Chaz.
00:27:20I'll see you around.
00:27:21Talk to you sometime.
00:27:22Chaz.
00:27:32No, no.
00:27:33It's great to talk to you.
00:27:34Yeah, yeah.
00:27:35I was wondering if you wanted to come by
00:27:36and play rollers this Friday, man.
00:27:37It'd be a great opportunity for you in the band.
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:42All right.
00:27:45Well, get Francis on the phone, then.
00:27:47Oh, hey, dude.
00:27:48I got an opening this Friday.
00:27:49How's Brazil?
00:27:51Yeah.

00:27:56You're hilarious.
00:27:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:00OK.

00:28:02Bye.
00:28:05Jesus loves you, too.
00:28:06All right.
00:28:07Bye.
00:28:10Dude, I'm sorry.
00:28:11I had no idea.
00:28:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:27Hey, it's Tyler.
00:28:28Leave me a message.
00:28:32I'm on the way to you.
00:28:33I'm talking thunder now.
00:28:38They hate to hear the word.
00:28:41They're here with their love like a thunderbird.
00:28:45Oh, it takes a minute to find out
00:28:49that everybody's pushing the same route.
00:28:54So don't keep no distance between me.
00:29:01♪♪
00:29:03♪ No distance, babe

00:29:50that is the...
00:29:52That's the question, bro.

00:31:57Oh, who'd you get?
00:32:00Yeah, I didn't get anybody either.
00:32:05Oh, man.
00:32:07It's only been 30 minutes.
00:32:08Yeah, I think really fast.
00:32:10Oh.
00:32:12Dude.
00:32:14Weird.
00:32:16We're on the brink of disaster.
00:32:18Yes, about that.
00:32:20Um, I've been thinking,
00:32:23and I think that we should take that offer
00:32:25from Gordon and Ballsack.
00:32:27Oh.
00:32:32No.
00:32:33We're not swimming in options here, man.
00:32:34Yeah, no, I just...
00:32:40What if I got another personal loan
00:32:42and pay off payroll for the month?
00:32:44It wouldn't give you a diner's book card, baby.
00:32:48Uh...
00:32:51Oh, I feel like Denethor
00:32:53staring over the mountains of shadow,
00:32:55Sauron's gathering his armies,
00:32:58and we're the only ones left standing between him
00:33:01and what's left of Middle-earth.
00:33:03Is that a new neighborhood?
00:33:08What's wrong with your beard?
00:33:09What's wrong with you?
00:33:10You know, okay, all right, you know,
00:33:13it's time for you to go, sir.
00:33:15It's time for you to go, sir.
00:33:17I have got to think.
00:33:18No, I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
00:33:19No, no, no, no, procrastinating.
00:33:21No, no, watch.
00:33:22Look, look, look, look.
00:33:24Huh?
00:33:26Exercise lubricates the brain.
00:33:30Oh, talks for the preacher.
00:33:32It works.
00:33:33Call Tyler, see if he'll play rowers
00:33:34before they leave town.
00:33:35I don't know.
00:33:37Get him good and drunk, too,
00:33:38because they gotta play for free
00:33:40if we're gonna hit our mark.
00:33:46Hey.
00:33:48Hey.
00:33:50Tyler loves you, and he loves rollers.
00:33:53All you have to do is ask.
00:33:56Your breath is smoldering.
00:33:58Oh, that's what makes me so cozy,
00:34:00like a fireplace.
00:34:02Oh.
00:34:04Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:34:06Mm, was I interrupting something?
00:34:08Just this man s'more.
00:34:13There's someone here to see you.
00:34:15We're closed.
00:34:16Yeah, not like that.
00:34:18Listen, no, seriously, I am busy,
00:34:21and this is not a good time.
00:34:23Like, seriously, come on, we gotta go.
00:34:25You're right, yeah, we gotta go.
00:34:27Come on, you gotta see.
00:34:28Let's go.
00:34:29Come on, you gotta get up.
00:34:30You don't mean it like that, man.
00:34:31All right, all right, fine, okay, fine.
00:34:33Fine, fine.
00:34:43Dear Diary.
00:34:46Oh, Rufus.
00:34:48How scandalous.
00:34:50How scandalous.
00:34:52piano plays
00:35:11Doom doom!
00:35:13Doom doom!
00:35:15Ah!
00:35:16That was nice!
00:35:17Is he playing the piano now?
00:35:19Piano is so out of tune.
00:35:20Listen to this.
00:35:21Sound good to me.
00:35:22You just, like, let it fall to shit since I left.
00:35:24Look.
00:35:25How's the tour?
00:35:26How's the tour?
00:35:27I mean, I've seen your pictures and stuff.
00:35:30Yeah, yeah, tour, tour is good.
00:35:33It's not the one that's gonna push us over the top,
00:35:35but it's a step.
00:35:37Oh, no, that is a big sumo step.
00:35:40Yeah.
00:35:42Actually, I quit the band.
00:35:44What?
00:35:45Yeah, it wasn't going anywhere, so.
00:35:47But you guys are killing it.
00:35:49Yeah.
00:35:51You know, it's funny because it's like
00:35:52when you're on the outside,
00:35:54you look at people and you think
00:35:55they're either, like, successful or not successful.
00:35:58And then, uh, you get closer,
00:36:01and you realize that the people you thought were killing it
00:36:03are, um, sleeping in their vans.
00:36:06Well, half the people I know are sleeping on private jets, so.
00:36:09Yeah, well.
00:36:11So.
00:36:12Yeah.
00:36:13Yeah.
00:36:16Ah, but, um, you know what's next?
00:36:20Uh, no.
00:36:23I mean, stay here.
00:36:25Could be fun.
00:36:27Thinking about it.
00:36:30I mean, unless you have the wonkies play again,
00:36:33in which case I cannot be seen here.
00:36:35As one time.
00:36:36Actually, yeah, right.
00:36:37As one low moment.
00:36:38Please, do not lie to me.
00:36:39Don't lie to me, okay?
00:36:41Okay, I will not lie.
00:36:43Thank you.
00:36:44Tell me the truth.
00:36:46Tell me the truth.
00:36:50I want the money.
00:36:52Ah, I see.
00:36:54The money, okay.
00:36:55I can understand that, yeah.
00:36:57Yeah.
00:37:01Um, how is that, uh, side of things?
00:37:04Oh, the money side.
00:37:05I'm crazy.
00:37:07It's good.
00:37:08It's great.
00:37:09I mean, there's some ups and downs,
00:37:10but, you know, we're solid.
00:37:12Cool.
00:37:16Well, um, I could use a drink.
00:37:18Okay, let's do it.
00:37:19If at all possible.
00:37:21Get out of here.
00:37:22All right.
00:37:23Okay, actually, I can help.
00:37:24Okay, okay.
00:37:25Thanks.
00:37:26Okay.
00:37:30We went from Portland to New York,
00:37:32and then back to L.A. after we got that call.
00:37:35Can't believe we did that whole trip in eight days.
00:37:39Gosh, God, that was gnarly.
00:37:42Yeah, it was.
00:37:44It was kind of amazing, though.
00:37:47Definitely.
00:37:53Oh, man.
00:37:55Do you remember that time?
00:37:59We left you at that gas station in the middle of the night?
00:38:02Oh, yeah.
00:38:05We drove for like an hour before we realized you weren't with us.
00:38:08In the middle of the night.
00:38:11Yeah, yeah, I remember.
00:38:23Is that the Tyler Bolton special?
00:38:25First one off the line.
00:38:27You want to see it?
00:38:29Yes.
00:38:34Oh, man.
00:38:47That's nasty.
00:38:48Yeah, man.
00:38:51It's pretty crazy.
00:38:54It still feels so weird that I have my own line of guitars.
00:38:57I can imagine.
00:38:59You been playing much lately?
00:39:01No, no, not really.
00:39:07We should play again, me and you.
00:39:20Yeah.
00:39:39Not too much.
00:39:40Just a skosh.
00:39:42I haven't eaten since breakfast.
00:39:44Which one is this one?
00:39:45Roller's red.
00:39:46Okay.
00:39:47Roller's red, all right?
00:39:48Yeah.
00:39:49Roller's.
00:39:50Ice.
00:39:51To roller's.

00:39:57You're walking all slow.
00:39:58Excuse me.
00:39:59I have like six pounds of beer in my stomach.
00:40:02Give me a break.
00:40:03Okay.
00:40:04All right, here we go.
00:40:05You reckon this?
00:40:06I am not.
00:40:12Yum.
00:40:19I'm fine, by the way.
00:40:20That's good.
00:40:22Oh, oh, my, my, I apologize.
00:40:25Your dad, I wasn't, I didn't forget.
00:40:28I just.
00:40:29No, it's cool.
00:40:30You know, I didn't forget he died.
00:40:31Seriously, it's fine.
00:40:32Don't worry about it.
00:40:33Hey, there she is.

00:40:41Oh, oh, okay.

00:40:52I'm not depressed.
00:40:53Yeah, he's depressed.
00:40:54Look at his face.
00:40:55No, everybody knows you're depressed.
00:40:56Depressed.

00:42:30It's so weird to say this.
00:42:31What are you gonna do when the baby comes?
00:42:32The baby.
00:42:33I'll get bought out and stay home.
00:42:34Wow.
00:42:35To pursue writing full-time.
00:42:36Right, right, right.
00:42:37Of course.
00:42:38I mean, but, like, if you wanna stay home, dude, you just fuckin' stay home.
00:42:39You know?
00:42:40Just stay home.
00:42:41Thanks.
00:42:42Yeah.
00:42:43Yeah, thank you.
00:42:44Just do it.
00:42:46I don't wanna leave completely.
00:42:47Yeah.
00:42:48I always feel I'll be fine with one foot in, and then I get tractor beam.
00:42:49Oh.
00:42:50Boom.
00:42:51That Rufus Paisley tractor beam.
00:42:52I'm very familiar with that.
00:42:53It's bad.
00:42:54Yeah.
00:42:55Especially because things were so rough for a while, so...
00:42:56What do you mean?
00:42:57Jamie and I had to, like, loan the business some money, like, some time.
00:42:58Yeah.
00:42:59Yeah.
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:01Yeah.
00:43:02Yeah.
00:43:03Yeah.
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:05Yeah.
00:43:06Yeah.
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:09Yeah.
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:12Yeah.
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:14Yeah.
00:43:15Oh, he took it all from me.
00:43:17Oh.
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:19Wow, I didn't know that.
00:43:20Yeah.
00:43:21A little more than a scotch.
00:43:22Sorry.
00:43:23So how's it feel?
00:43:24What?
00:43:25Being a big deal, man.
00:43:26Playing our game.
00:43:27It's just, like, it's just better than being</p><p begin="00. jumble utility </p></in]?
00:43:34It's just better than ever.
00:43:40What?
00:43:41Being a big deal, man.
00:43:43Playing for 20,000 screaming fans every night,
00:43:48taking the earth by the horns.
00:43:52Nah, it's cool, you know.
00:43:54It's cool?
00:43:56Yeah, I mean, it's kind of, you know, it's the same thing, right?
00:43:59Just higher stakes.
00:44:02More pressures.
00:44:07I mean, I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong.
00:44:09We've been crazy lucky.
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:12But I don't know, man.
00:44:14Sometimes I think about those old days
00:44:17when we were playing at rollers all the time.
00:44:20Back when it was just for fun.
00:44:24It's usually when I'm sitting in another fucking meeting
00:44:27with some fucked-hard marketing exec,
00:44:30and I just wish I could live in your world for a while.
00:44:37Take all that pressure off, though, really.
00:44:45You know what I mean?
00:44:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:44:48Yeah, I get it.
00:44:50I'm just...
00:44:51Yeah, yeah, Tyler, I get it.
00:44:56I'm just trying to say, man, I miss being around, you know?
00:45:02Huh.
00:45:06That's cool.
00:45:07I mean, we both know what happened.
00:45:13No, we don't.
00:45:14You got big and you bailed.
00:45:17Yeah.
00:45:19And now you want to come back to your roots,
00:45:21the land of who-the-fuck-cares,
00:45:22so you can remember what it's like to live
00:45:24without all that horrible pressure
00:45:26from people throwing money at you
00:45:27and going broke from screaming your name.
00:45:29Oh, my God, I get it.
00:45:31If that's the story you want to tell yourself, man, go for it.
00:45:33No, it's not a story.
00:45:34It's what happened, Tyler.
00:45:37You ghosted me, dude.
00:45:39I quit calling because you quit answering, man.
00:45:41Yeah, because you sold out.
00:45:44Dude, you're the one bailing on legit acts
00:45:46so you can book a fucking kids' band, man.
00:45:50Yeah, yeah, people talk, man.
00:45:52You should know that.
00:45:56And just because we're popular
00:45:57doesn't mean we sold out, man.
00:46:00We play the music we love.
00:46:01Yeah, bro, because I hustled for you, man.
00:46:03And that's why I'm here, Rufus.
00:46:05I'm fucking here, man.
00:46:07I should have known all I'd hear
00:46:09is the same old garbage from another jaded musician
00:46:12who couldn't hack it on the road.
00:46:17Hey, by the way, man, we could have been huge,
00:46:21but you quit.
00:46:24That deal was almost closed,
00:46:26but you chose to come back to rollers,
00:46:29and I started dogs.
00:46:32That's life, man.
00:46:38Everything okay, Rufus?
00:46:42You?
00:46:50You didn't even ask?
00:46:51It didn't come up.
00:46:53That's the whole point of going to talk to him, man,
00:46:55was to ask.
00:46:56Yeah, but just listen.
00:46:57Let's have a party.
00:46:58Yeah.
00:46:59We are on our backs right now
00:47:00with three lawyers standing over us.
00:47:02You know what they have?
00:47:03You know what they have in their hands?
00:47:04Socks full of nickels, man!
00:47:06Yeah, but let's just have a party.
00:47:07You know what I mean?
00:47:08I just, I need a drink, bro.
00:47:10You're already drunk.
00:47:11You know what?
00:47:12Here.
00:47:13Chill pills.

00:47:20and all you gotta do is talk to Tyler
00:47:23and tell him what's really going on.
00:47:25This is about Jane, isn't it?
00:47:27No, no, this is not about Jane.
00:47:28This is about rollers, man, okay?
00:47:30And the people who play here and see shows
00:47:32and you and Mills and Quinn and Taylor.
00:47:35Oh, she quit today, bud.
00:47:37You know what I mean?
00:47:38You get like this.
00:47:39You act like a crackhead every time she's around.
00:47:41Her dad died, Donnie.
00:47:42Seriously.

00:47:54A party.
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:56Did you get that electrician?
00:47:57No, no.
00:47:58Forget the electrician.
00:47:59Forget it.
00:48:00It's just for the box by the stage.
00:48:01You said that last week.
00:48:02Yes, forget last week.
00:48:03I'm talking about right now.
00:48:04And right now, I think you should have a beer, okay?
00:48:06I know you should have a beer.
00:48:07That's technically illegal,
00:48:08but I'm the master of this domain,
00:48:10and if I say you should have a beer,
00:48:11you, sir, should have a beer, okay?

00:49:42How'd it go with Tyler?
00:49:44Good.
00:49:45You didn't, you didn't ask him, did you?
00:49:47What are you so fucking worried about, dude?
00:49:50Come on.
00:49:52I don't know.
00:49:55Honestly, we,
00:49:57we kind of got into it.
00:49:59Really?
00:50:00Yeah, he started
00:50:02complaining about how
00:50:04difficult it is to be successful.
00:50:06Ooh.
00:50:07Yeah, see, a lot of whispering.
00:50:08Uh-huh, yeah, he does that.
00:50:10Well, you know what?
00:50:11He will get over it.
00:50:12Yeah, so I murdered him.
00:50:14I understand.
00:50:16I understand.
00:50:18Did you want me to,
00:50:19did you want me to talk to his ghost, though?
00:50:21For you?
00:50:22About coming here to play?
00:50:24No.
00:50:25No?
00:50:26I'm offering, so
00:50:28don't act like you don't need the help.
00:50:45His wishes are very rare.
00:51:03Rick's wishes.
00:51:04They're very, very rare.
00:51:05Rick?
00:51:06Especially in recent years, so.
00:51:07Who is Rick?
00:51:08That's
00:51:09me, me.
00:51:10Boom, Rick.
00:51:11What am I supposed to ask him for?
00:51:13He's drunk.
00:51:14He's not, he's not drunk.
00:51:15He's Rick, okay?
00:51:16And you can ask him anything you want, obviously.
00:51:19But!
00:51:20Anything.
00:51:21But!
00:51:22Am I telling the story?

00:51:28Okay, okay, okay.
00:51:29You tell it!
00:51:30You can, you can
00:51:31wish for anything you want,
00:51:32but just know that what you wish for
00:51:34is going to affect your relationship.
00:51:38I want you
00:51:40to teach me about the business.
00:51:43Like, how it works.
00:51:44So maybe I could
00:51:45have one of my own someday.
00:51:47I mean, I don't know,
00:51:48that'd be pretty dope, right?
00:51:59Oh, oh!

00:58:23room he's played.
00:58:24That's insane.
00:58:25This is, that was insane.
00:58:26This is why
00:58:27I have to save rollers.
00:58:29Speaking of,
00:58:30there's Tyler.
00:58:33guitar solo
00:58:49Benny,
00:58:51they can't tear anything down
00:58:52without your permission.
00:58:54Well, they can't build
00:58:55the new buildings
00:58:56until they tear
00:58:57the old ones down.
00:58:59Progress.
00:59:02Worthless progress.
00:59:04Let me get it.
00:59:05Let me get it.
00:59:07Half the properties around here
00:59:09were vacant
00:59:10less than ten years ago.
00:59:12Well,
00:59:13Benny, can't you tell them
00:59:14just to fuck off?
00:59:17What's your annual revenue?
00:59:20And how many employees
00:59:21you got?
00:59:22And when's the last time
00:59:23you paid for a beer here, man?
00:59:25Just kidding, Rufus.
00:59:27Just kidding.
00:59:29Look,
00:59:30you've been around a long time.
00:59:32Your family are friends of mine.
00:59:34You're my friend.
00:59:36But friendship doesn't fund
00:59:37the city's government.
00:59:39Neither does rollers.
00:59:42guitar solo
00:59:48Ah, come on.
00:59:54Hi.
00:59:55Benny, I don't want this.
00:59:57It's for the beers.
00:59:59Same time next week?
01:00:02I mean it for open, man.
01:00:05Benny, it's my putter.
01:00:08I was gonna pawn that.
01:00:11Thank you.
01:00:25How did it go down?
01:00:27Just, uh, caught up.
01:00:29Told him that you felt bad about,
01:00:30like, what happened last time.
01:00:32Ooh.
01:00:33Was he pissed?
01:00:34A little bit.
01:00:35But, I mean,
01:00:37he knows you're under
01:00:38a lot of presh over here, so...
01:00:40So...
01:00:42you didn't tell him
01:00:43the details of our situation?
01:00:46I kept it brief.
01:00:48Now you got McCurious.
01:00:50Don't be curious.
01:00:51Just be happy he's playing.
01:00:54You told him.
01:00:56So what if I told him?
01:01:04Now everybody's gonna know
01:01:05that we're broke.
01:01:07So what?
01:01:08Who cares if you're broke?
01:01:09Everybody's broke.
01:01:10What does it matter?
01:01:12And now he's gonna tell
01:01:13all of his rich, successful friends.
01:01:16Oh, my God.
01:01:18Dude.
01:01:19Rufus, are you serious?
01:01:20Do you think that Tyler
01:01:21calls his rich, successful friends
01:01:23and just, like, talks about you
01:01:25the whole time?
01:01:26It's fucking ridiculous.
01:01:40Thank you
01:01:41for fixing things with Tyler.
01:01:46Even though now
01:01:47I look like a little bitch.
01:01:49Newsflash.
01:01:50You are a little bitch.
01:01:51And you're welcome.
01:01:55Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:01:58Wait.
01:02:02I'm sorry.
01:02:03I'm being a dick.
01:02:05I'm sorry about not asking you
01:02:08how you've been.
01:02:10About your dad and all that.
01:02:16It's fine.
01:02:17It's not fine.
01:02:18It's shitty.
01:02:25I forgive you.
01:02:31Can I be honest with you about...

01:05:05What the F.
01:05:06Yeah.
01:05:07Man.
01:05:08Donnie, could you give us a minute?
01:05:12Yes.
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14OK.
01:05:15All right.
01:05:16Come on, man.
01:05:17What are you doing down there?
01:05:18I fell asleep.
01:05:19I was looking for.
01:05:20Um, oh, my shirt, my shirt.
01:05:22Oh, oh, oh.
01:05:23Um, okay.
01:05:24Excuse me.
01:05:25Ow, ow, ow.
01:05:26Everything hurts.
01:05:27Okay.
01:05:28Everything hurts.
01:05:29All right.
01:05:30Your hands feel great, though.
01:05:31I love you, man.
01:05:32Thank you.
01:05:33I love you, too.
01:05:34Okay.
01:05:35I love you, too.
01:05:36Okay.
01:05:37Oh, I think I had your pants.
01:05:38No, I don't see any pants, bro.
01:05:41So, Rufus, what?
01:05:49You don't have any business telling Jane our private business?
01:05:54The loan?
01:05:55Yes.
01:05:56Duh.
01:05:57Okay.
01:05:58I'm failing to see how that's a problem worthy of what the fuck.
01:06:01Now Jane's gonna think I'm lying to her.
01:06:03Uh, you were lying to her.
01:06:05I didn't lie.
01:06:07I just, I was just telling her what she needed to know.
01:06:12Okay.
01:06:14I'm already having a day.
01:06:17I don't need it from you.
01:06:20You know what, Maddie?
01:06:21I just don't want you to fuck this up for me, okay?
01:06:23What?
01:06:24You don't have any right, any right to tell anybody, anybody, not even Jane, that I failed.
01:06:31Wow.
01:06:32This is sad.
01:06:34You are sad.
01:06:35You know, you just, you just don't get it.
01:06:37Oh, no, I think I get it.
01:06:39I think you're acting pretty pathetic.
01:06:45Ah, yeah.
01:06:48You know, for you, rollers is like a goldfish.
01:06:52If it lives, fine.
01:06:53If it dies, you just flush it down the toilet and move on like nothing ever happened.
01:06:59Because I have a life, Rufus.
01:07:01This is my life.
01:07:08It's not a game.
01:07:22That's not my fault.
01:07:28You know, you can run away if you like.
01:07:34But, uh, mom and dad put everything into this place.
01:07:42We grew up here.
01:07:46Exactly.
01:07:50We grew up here because they can never go home.
01:07:59You know what, Rufus?
01:08:01That was their choice.
01:08:04But it's not mine.
01:08:30This is Rufus.
01:08:31Finally, Rufus.
01:08:32Look, kid, whatever's going on, I'm sure I can help you with it.
01:08:34But you gotta take my call.
01:08:35Fuck off.
01:08:50Ah, Mills.
01:09:04Hey.
01:09:06I was thinking if you need somebody to play tonight, you know.
01:09:10Not tonight, Mills.
01:09:13Okay.
01:09:14No worries.
01:09:29Hey, Adingus.
01:09:31I was thinking that we should just talk, do a little debrief.
01:09:37Anyway, I'm going to go grab some drinks with some old friends from Central if you want to join.
01:09:42Or, you know, you can get loaded by yourself.
01:09:44It's up to you.
01:09:45Okay.
01:09:46Hope to see you there.
01:09:48Yo, it's Tyler.
01:09:52I talked to Jane and, yeah, man, I'm down to do what I can to help.
01:10:02I know things have been pretty tough.
01:10:07I think we should talk, though, you know.
01:10:10Sort this shit out before the show.
01:10:16I'm actually grabbing drinks with Jane tonight with some people from the old crew if you want to, I don't know, if you want to join.
01:10:24We can talk there.
01:10:30I don't want things to be this way, man.
01:10:33I miss you.
01:10:39All right.
01:10:40I'll see you tonight, I hope.
01:10:43Hey, buddy.
01:10:44Hope you're doing okay.
01:10:46Wasn't anything going on, so I decided to stay home.
01:10:49You want to play some Yahtzee?
01:10:52Monopoly?
01:10:53You can play with two people.
01:10:54Only you, baby, can put out this fire.
01:10:58Only you, baby, can put out this fire.
01:11:02Only you, baby, can put out this fire.
01:12:03Hey.
01:12:05Hey.
01:12:15Hey.
01:12:17Hey!
01:12:19Hey!
01:12:21Hey!
01:12:23Hey!
01:12:25Hey!
01:12:27Hey!
01:12:29Hey!
01:12:31Hey!
01:12:33Hey!
01:12:35Hey!
01:12:37Let me go!
01:12:39Aah!
01:12:41Aah!
01:12:43Aah!
01:12:45Hey.
01:12:48Look.
01:12:51I'm sorry.
01:12:54I'm sorry.
01:12:55It's cool, it's cool.
01:12:56I'm sorry.
01:13:06It's cool.
01:13:08It's cool.
01:13:16Oh, my
01:13:24Tell me, darling
01:13:28What did I do?
01:13:35Now we can work it out
01:13:38If you want to
01:13:40I'll be blue
01:13:44But if you feel you'd rather not try
01:13:47I'll be blue
01:13:51You said our love would always be
01:13:55If this is love, oh, can't you see?
01:14:04I love you
01:14:11guitar solo
01:14:22Rufus?
01:14:36One more.
01:14:40piano solo
01:14:58I looked into her eyes
01:15:03There I saw smoldering fire
01:15:12I held her in my arms
01:15:19As we stood on the threshold
01:15:24We stood on the threshold
01:15:30Oh, we stood on the threshold
01:15:35Oh, paradise
01:15:39Mm-hmm
01:15:42guitar solo
01:16:00What?
01:16:03I was just thinking about 15-year-old Rufus.
01:16:05Mm-hmm.
01:16:07I think you mean peak Rufus.
01:16:09I mean chunky Rufus.
01:16:10Oh.
01:16:11A little chunky monster.
01:16:12Yeah.
01:16:13Yeah.
01:16:15You were hanging out at the bar with, um,
01:16:18what is that guy's name?
01:16:19RJ?
01:16:20Yes, RJ.
01:16:21What were we doing?
01:16:23I mean, trying to look cool, probably.
01:16:26Yeah.
01:16:27God, you were so boring before you started hanging out with us.
01:16:30Just a snooze fest.
01:16:32I don't know why I was hanging out with those guys.
01:16:38You know, I don't think I realized until last year
01:16:40that they were just constantly beating the shit out of me.
01:16:43Seriously.
01:16:46How do you not notice
01:16:47if somebody's beating the shit out of you?
01:16:50I thought I was having fun, too.
01:16:54Oh.
01:16:55Which is dumb, guys.
01:16:56No.
01:16:57Yeah.
01:16:58Yeah.
01:16:59I guess I can relate to that.
01:17:02Let's burn one, baby.
01:17:04Come on.
01:17:05Yeah.
01:17:06Oh.
01:17:12Oh, yeah.
01:17:17Look at that view.
01:17:21Oh, man.
01:17:27First time I walked was here.
01:17:30Really?
01:17:35Just about every other first, too.
01:17:38That's wild.
01:17:51Who is this?
01:17:55What are you fucking kidding me?
01:17:56This is Barbara Howard.
01:17:59She's good.
01:18:00Uh, yeah, she's good.
01:18:02She's amazing.
01:18:03She's great.
01:18:04She's phenomenal.
01:18:06She is hired.
01:18:08Like, we should book her.
01:18:09Oh, dude, she is huge.
01:18:11You would never believe her.
01:18:14Ooh.
01:18:17Ooh.
01:18:19As soon as it was coming out, I was like, whoops.
01:18:21Jesus.
01:18:23Right back in.
01:18:25Punched to the kidney.
01:18:26Sorry.
01:18:27Felt it in the plums.
01:18:30Passing a gallstone.
01:18:33My bad.
01:18:36I'm eternally sorry.
01:18:39But it's true.
01:18:42Yeah, it is true.
01:18:46Okay, let me ask you something.
01:18:48And you don't have to answer.
01:18:49This is just, like, food for thought.
01:18:51Okay?
01:18:52Okay.
01:18:53Just a little snack.
01:18:56And you just, I mean, just be 100% honest with yourself.
01:18:59Hey, Lee, spit it out.
01:19:01Okay, okay, okay.
01:19:02I'm just...
01:19:04Ah, just spit it out.
01:19:06Deep down, are you more scared of losing Rollers or saving it?
01:19:14Boom.
01:19:16Take that one.
01:19:17Take the train straight to Ponder City with that in your back pocket.
01:19:20Ooh, the rent is high there.
01:19:22It is.
01:19:23It is a dangerous neighborhood in Ponder City.
01:19:26Get stabbed with a check.
01:19:27Yeah.
01:19:28Watch out.
01:19:29Ooh, baby.
01:19:33Let somebody know.
01:19:39Let somebody know.
01:19:45Come on.
01:19:52Come on.
01:19:55Come on and smile.
01:20:02Ooh.
01:20:08Don't you know?
01:20:13I'm with you all the way.
01:20:20That's how much I love you.
01:20:25What more can I say?
01:20:32It's easier.
01:20:37It's easier.
01:20:43It's so much easier.
01:20:46It's easier to smile.
01:20:56It's easier to smile.
01:21:27Oh, paradise.
01:21:33For Jay here, we've got a special track for a man having a tough night.
01:21:55We're gonna play one of his hits.
01:21:56His only hit, in fact.
01:21:58Ten letter.
01:21:59Rufus, this one's for you.
01:22:01Yeah, that, that.
01:22:06I will back bones.
01:22:11Every day.
01:22:14This is for you.
01:22:18I will back bones.
01:22:21Every day.
01:22:24This is for you.
01:22:27I will back bones.
01:22:30Every day.
01:22:33This is for you.
01:22:36I will back bones.
01:22:39Every day.
01:22:43Bro, you won't answer my calls, bro.
01:22:49Let's jam, bro.
01:22:52Come on.
01:22:56The fuck, bro?
01:23:00My bad.
01:23:01My bad.
01:23:04It's like, just tired, you know?
01:23:11All right, we're good.
01:23:12We're good.
01:23:13Remember also the creator in the days of your youth.
01:23:19Before the days of evil come and the years draw near.
01:23:26And what you will say, I have no pleasure in them.
01:23:35Before the silver cord snaps and the golden bowl is broken.
01:23:45And the pitcher is shattered at the fountain.
01:23:52And the dust returns to the earth as it was.
01:23:58And the spirit returns to God who gave it.
01:24:08Vanity.
01:24:11All is vanity.
01:24:28All is vanity.
01:24:51Hey, hey, hey.
01:24:53You good?
01:24:54Where are we?
01:24:57Oh, Donnie, oh, just let me love you.
01:25:02I'm glad you're okay.
01:25:07Yeah, me too.
01:25:10Seriously, dude, look what the H happened.
01:25:13Lost your shit, dude.
01:25:15And you pooped your pants.
01:25:17Don't worry.
01:25:19Nurse didn't wipe your butt.
01:25:21I did.
01:25:28Hey.
01:25:31I'm glad you're feeling better.
01:25:33Could you guys give me and Rufus a minute?
01:25:53Dude, this pudding is so good.
01:25:56So much better here than at the gas station.
01:25:58Seems like a temperature thing.
01:26:02You went on a little nighttime adventure
01:26:05and crashed your car into Tyler's studio.
01:26:07Tyler!
01:26:10Tyler!
01:26:17So no show.
01:26:19Jesus.
01:26:20Rufus.
01:26:26Rufus.
01:26:56Rufus.
01:26:58Rufus.
01:27:23I'm really glad we had this conversation.
01:27:29What?
01:27:35You got to figure out what you want to do with rollers, man.
01:27:42I don't know.
01:27:44I just know people need rollers.
01:27:47Dude.
01:27:49The whole community is not going to fall apart
01:27:51because you got to quit.
01:27:54You're not fucking George Bailey.
01:27:57But you are Rufus Paisley.
01:28:00And I need you.
01:28:16I'm really glad that you came back.
01:28:22Me too.
01:28:28It's a sad day here in the grotto, folks.
01:28:30Feels like we're losing a member of our family.
01:28:32After 101 years, tonight marks the last show
01:28:34before rollers closes its doors forever.
01:28:37Now, we called up long-time owner and operator,
01:28:39Rufus Paisley, to give us some thoughts.
01:28:42And he asked us to play an interview
01:28:44we did with his dad years ago,
01:28:46when rollers was hitting a bit of a rough patch.
01:28:48Roll the tape, Jerry.
01:28:50Rollers is a huge part of this community.
01:28:52Now, is this the end? Is this the end of the line?
01:28:54My grandmother, her favorite thing to say was,
01:28:57there's a time for everything.
01:29:00A time to eat and a time to be hungry,
01:29:03she used to say when I come crashing into her kitchen.
01:29:06Lovely story.
01:29:08I think what we're all dying to know, though,
01:29:10is how hot was your grandmother?
01:29:13People want to know, Mr. Paisley.
01:29:15Kidding aside, settle down, Diggus, okay?
01:29:18Mr. Paisley, we're dying to know.
01:29:20Is this the end of the line?
01:29:22No, that's not why I'm here.
01:29:24But when that day does come, and it will,
01:29:27it won't be the end.
01:29:29See, rollers isn't just a place,
01:29:32a couple of plaster walls and a stage.
01:29:35Rollers is a family,
01:29:37a group of all sorts of crazy-ass people
01:29:40who came together to make all sorts of things,
01:29:43like love, trouble, music.
01:29:47And I know that as long as people keep doing that,
01:29:50keep reaching outside themselves,
01:29:53keep that spirit,
01:29:56rollers will always live on.

01:30:49Me and my baby, we were walking
01:30:54We stopped, yeah, we was talking
01:30:59I said, baby, you got love on your mind
01:31:04Oh, but love, baby, takes a little time, yeah, yeah
01:31:09Time can feel just like a dream
