00:03Boner.
00:04Is not available.
00:05Hey, Benji.
00:06I just got to the airport.
00:07I really hope you left already.
00:08Dude!
00:09Oh!
00:10God, you made it.
00:11What's up, cuz?
00:12I got some good shit from Womieland.
00:13Wait, you're not, like, taking weed into Poland, are you?
00:15Oh, yeah.
00:16Benji?
00:17They don't give a shit about that stuff.
00:18I think they very much do give a shit about that stuff.
00:19Oh, yeah.
00:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21We get high in back seats.
00:22We're cool.
00:23Davers and I are cousins.
00:24We used to be joined at the hip.
00:25Our grandma was from here, so Dave arranged for us to join this geriatric Polish tour
00:30with you fine people.
00:33I really needed this, man.
00:35I know that it's tough for you to leave your boy.
00:37I don't really have anything going on.
00:40I know it's been a tough few months for you, so...
00:42I also wanted to say that I know you're not the most comfortable person with people.
00:45I'm not?
00:46No.
00:47Does it look real?
00:48Well, they're twice the size of you in metal, so...
00:49You sure you don't want to come up here?
00:50I'm good.
00:51Can you take my picture?
00:52That's what I'm talking about.
00:53Watch it!
00:54Thank you, David.
00:55It's amazing that you're here, putting yourself out there so boldly for me.
00:57Thank you, man.
00:58Let's go smoke a joint.
00:59Word of warning, this will be a tour about pain.
01:04Our grandmother and Benji were super close.
01:06I mean, she was the coolest.
01:07I've just been in a real funk, I guess, since she died.
01:11Just haven't, um...
01:12I...
01:13You ain't alone.
01:14You're looking back at the horrors of your family history.
01:21We completely cut ourselves off from anyone else's true pain.
01:25Why are you doing this?
01:26Oh, man, you used to, like, feel everything.
01:27Obviously, there are triggers along the way.
01:31We're not at the right station.
01:32And you didn't wake me up.
01:33Oh, you're having such a good nap, dude.
01:34Jesus Christ!
01:35You're on a tour group with people!
01:36Sorry, yeah, I know.
01:37I just didn't have the heart to wake you up.
01:38Has he always been like this?
01:39I love him, and I hate him.
01:40What the flying Jesus?
01:41And I want to be him.
01:42You used to cry about everything.
01:43Yeah, it was awful.
01:44Who wants to cry about everything?
01:45We're on a holocaust tour.
