It was so collaborative

right away.

It just made me feel like,

"Oh, this is what

it's supposed to be like."

Do you feel good about it?

Like...

Yeah. I feel great about it.

Do you think I look okay?

Yeah, you look fine.

Have you been talking

to this girl?

Yes, we've been texting.

Saw each other on the Internet,

and you know...

Right. Naturally.

Of course. I mean,

it's all in the hopes

of getting into some kind

of relationship, right?

But then, you wonder, like,

"Who did they actually

vote for?"

-You know, are they--

-Please don't bring up the...

What?

Like, the world is going

in the shitter.

You don't wanna talk about

what's actually happening

in the world?

Not on my first date

-with this girl that

I'm hopefully gonna like.

-Do I have a rule book?

Can you give me a check book

of what I'm supposed

to talk about?

How you guys doing?

Give the man a big

round of applause.

Are you ready to party?

Okay.

I have to bring

this young lady up.

She's always bringing

her ass in here,

wanting to sing with us.

She's from Spain.

I'm gonna let her do

this one damn song.

And her name is Sergio.

with an "O."

Hi.

This is my first song

I've written all in English.

And it's the first time

I'm gonna sing it to you.

So I'm, like,

a little bit nervous,

but I think it's gonna be

so cool.

I hope you like it.

Aw!

Bloom

My boy says make room

When the hand come

At the gloom

When the arm comes

Creeping up

I spread my arms so wide

Assume that

That forfeits doom

With the brightness

I resume

And my broken leaves

On my branches

Slips away

My blossoms bloom

Bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom

Okay! Wait, wait, wait.

I get it.

Andre, do you think

that's working?

Uh...

Oh, she's the only one.

-You are the truthful girl.

-Yes, I am.

Thank you so much.

It's very hard to have friends

that tell you the truth.

Okay. Let's make a deal.

Which is, like, a singer

you will go crazy about?

Stevie Nicks.

Okay. Let's pretend

I'm Stevie Nicks.

You like that?

Okay, I'm gonna

come down right now

and kiss you.

Oh, no!

We have a date.

Should we do it?

Should we do it, yeah?

Let's go.

That was so beautiful.

Whoo!

Come close, come close!

Come close, people!

Now, let's finish.

So I'm told

I've always been

With flashing flood

And whipping wind

I leave with everything...

It's ultimately a Ponzi scheme

that they created

for our environment.

-You know? Because--

What?

Well, meaning that, like,

past generations,

-the amount of coal

that they burn,

-Yeah.

it costs more in the effects

of climate change

than it costs to get it

out of the ground to use.

What?

It's just that all

our natural resources
