And there's some

other bands in here.

We practice here.

And Ron lives here

and Robo lives here.

PENELOPE:
What's the most people

that ever lived here?

[GIGGLES]

A bunch of hippies rent.

PENELOPE:
What about the hippies?

You get along with the hippies?

They're okay

'cause they just get loaded.

And they're pretty mellow.

[LAUGHING]

Mellow dudes!

They're neutralized.

The smoke so much pot

that they're neutralized.

And you don't smoke pot?

Even if they get pissed off,

they have a joint

and they talk about it,

instead of doing

something about it.

Ron, can you show us

where you live, please?

You mean, like, specifically,

where I sleep?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Well, this room is where I live.

[SIG HS]

This is a two-room

apartment here.

Rig ht here,

this is a three-room.

It's not exactly

what you would call

a penthouse or anything

like that but this is my...

[WHOOPING]

This is where all the action

goes on, rig ht?

So, yeah, all these, uh...

There's autographs from all

these girls and stuff, you know.

Some used panties

and sh*t like that.

[WOMAN LAUGHING]

This is one of

my victims, right?

[BAND MEMBERS LAUGHING]

Robo's place is a little

less sleazier than mine.

He's up here.

[LAUGHING]

- PENELOPE:
Has that got a bed?

- Mmm...

PENELOPE:
Okay, let's see.

Is that a bed?

- Yeah, it is a bed.

- PENELOPE:
How much does it cost?

Uh, $16 a month.

How much do you make per month,

when you, uh... as a performer?

Uh...

- Pretty much nothing.

- BAND MEMBER:
Negative.

Negative, yeah, actually.

And I mean

Well, like Greg was saying,

we don't make very much off gigs

and most of it goes back

into, like, the promotion.

And, you know, expenses.

Usually, maybe I could get

a meal out of it here and there.

Otherwise, I'll just have to

find rich girls

and stuff like that.

[LAUGHING]

I can't rent a house because

I owe the gas company money.

I owe the electrical

company money.

I owe the telephone

company money.

Sol cannot rent a house

under my name.

Sol might as well live

in a f***ing closet

for $16 a month, you know.

PENELOPE:
Where are you from?

- Well, I'm... Puerto Rico.

-Yeah.

[IN MOCK ACCENT]

But I like to live in America.

[ALL LAUGHING]

PENELOPE:
How come the songs

are so fast and short?

They're fast because that's

what gets us off, okay?

- That's the energy level.

- Yeah.

And they're short because that's

how long the inspiration lasts.

If you take the amount

of verses that they have

and the amount of lyrics

and stuff, they're...

You know, they're as long

PENELOPE:

banned from are like, uh,
