You don't think what

I'm doing is enough?

Oh, I mean, you know...

Your numbers are descent.

But Wyld...

You're just a vessel.

You got thousands of people

seeing through your eyes.

You got to get more.

You want top-shelf sponsors?

Then you got to give them everything.

Everything?

Everything.

I gotta mosey.

- You want the tour?

- No, thank you.

You got a great count,

even for a vegan's.

Nice meeting you, Garrett.

A nightmare?

No, uh...

No, that... that was memory.

This can be worse.

Ash...

Did we... uh...

No.

- No?

- Uh uh.

What... what were

you waiting for?

You were kind of passed out.

Alcohol plus opiate-based pain killers...

Oh, no, no, see...

I slipped you a roofie.

Just didn't work out

quite as I expected...

Oh, maybe you should

use a smaller dose.

Yeah, I'll try that.

Seriously, though...

I like you.

But...

No, that is the reason,

believe it or not.

So where's the fire?

Um... Madison and me...

we... we got that new sponsor, and now

- there's all these... obligations...

- I'm off.

Come on, stay right here.

I'll uh...

...make an omelet.

with the one egg

that I have in the fridge.

He promised to sponsor. Go.

I'm so over sponsors.

Why, are they pressuring you?

Yeah, and they're like,

'No, Conner, you take your time...'

'...concentrate on feeling better...'

and then they're like 'Hey,

guess who made nationals.'

Oh, we don't have to do

anything we don't want to, right?

I guess not.

Come on, we gotta do something.

Seriously?

I knew you weren't armed.

You turn off Wyatt's channel?

It's off, yeah.

You look... uh...

different in person.

Most people do.

How'd you get in here?

Your brother's house keys.

Shouldn't have asked that.

You should have.

What are you looking for?

Something that's not here anymore.

Let's get out of here.

I'll buy you a waffle.

So, you and my

brother were stealing cars?

- Racing cars.

- Yeah, stolen cars.

Look, race your own car,

it's fifty viewers.

Race a stolen car,

it's like 50, 000.

So how do you pick these cars?

We got tipped.

There are cars all over this

town just begging to be raced.

I'm talking about race cars.

Barely street legal.

Relegated to grocery getters.

Rolled out for once a

month for a clay wax.

And all it takes is

one pissed-off teenager

one disgruntled valet,

or a little help from the

infamous mission creep.

So basically, we're running

a request line for felons.

Yes.

And what do they get

in return? These tipsters?

They get to watch.

it's about taking risks.

The faster the car,

the closer the race,

the higher the danger

the better the ratings.

On a good day everyone wins.

Sponsor's happy, viewer's happy.
