Ken wanted a piano as a kid.

Ken couldn't get a piano as a kid.

So, three years ago, we looked

on Craigslist all summer

and went over the Twin Cities

and got... pianos!

Man's a genius.

He just never quite had the time.

And it looks like the auctioneer's here.

What's in my pocket?

Well, it's a key.

And, er, it's got a really

neat little logo there.

This... is a Lamborghini.

And this is my life in a day.

This is my wallet from Marc Jacobs.

There's a Marc Jacobs key-chain

that I love.

Mirror.

My iPod which is my soul.

Rosary.

Very good way of spending your time

profitably in the eternal dimension.

Telephone headset.

Extremely good way of wasting

your time in the earthly dimension.

What do you have in your pockets?

It's my knife. Erm...

OK, you can go ahead

and judge me all you want,

but there are some crazy people

in the world.

My Ruger P94.40 calibre handgun.

'I take this with me wherever I go.'

This is balut.

Only in the Philippines.

You see that?

Look, let's put some salt right there.

That's salt.

And then... watch this.

Ahhh!

Today is Saturday 24th July.

For the last three years

I've been away from home.

I was doing my degree,

and as soon as that finished,

I ended up getting a job

at a very demanding company.

So, I don't really get to see

my old man that much.

But whenever I do see him,

we always go to the same place,

do the same thing and have a catch up.

I just phoned you.

Yeah, I just got it, actually.

I was about to phone you back.

- How you doing? All right?

- Not bad.

- Mouthful?

- I'll have a mouthful.

You sorted the tyre out?

- That tyre's f***ed.

- I haven't had time.

That tyre's f***ed.

You'll get done for that.

Seen it? You got a rip in it.

- Is there a rip?

- Yeah.

Why don't you film down there, Jack,

let's see if we see a cop?

Jesus!

You're not a student now, you know,

you're a working man.

There's no excuse.

Two small beefburgers,

believe it or not.

Imagine what their large ones are like

or medium ones. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Unbelievable.

Anyway, there you go, Jack.

This way. I'm gonna sit in the car.

- What you got?

- This.

Oh. Is this a photograph of you at uni?

- Yeah.

- Fantastic.

That's fantastic. I'm gonna get that

in a lovely frame and that,

cos Nina's got a frame like that.

That's really cool, Jack.

Thank you.

Now you should be very proud

of yourself, Jack,

considering you almost got

chucked out of school.

You was lucky there, weren't you?

You've matured actually in the last year

or so into a real proper lad.

A real gentleman and a nice boy.

Thanks for that, Jack.

I love being me.

I love life. It's all such fun.

Grass, dirt.
