I never thought

this could be me ♪

-The Relentless are back.

-Come on, Johnny.

-This is for real.

-Let's get it done.

-The shitheads on

local message boards

are saying the only reason

I'm putting on bigger shows

is because of who my dad is.

-Take this away from me.

-You did this all on your own.

-This business is a jungle

and you're either

a savage animal,

or you're a dying,

f*cking pathetic roach.



[cheering, applause]

-Dylan, we're not supposed to

play the new song, dude.

-We're playin' it.

-[cymbals crash]

-Elias.

[grunting]

-What would you say was

rock bottom for you?

-This 18-year-old virgin

begged me to take her

virginity, and I did it.

-He's there on TV

talkin' about it.

You know what you have to do.

-Have you had any contact

with the girl

since that went down?

-No.





-Babe, are you good?



-Who was that?

-Nothing.

I thought I saw something.



-Are you sure?

-No, it's fine, it's fine.

-Okay.



I'm just dyin'

to find a way ♪

Are we just thrust out

in the night? ♪

Are we just waiting

for a light? ♪

Are we just cursed now,

you and I? ♪

Think it's time

to say goodbye ♪

[groans]

[radio chatter]

-Wh-- What's goin' on?

-Well, you didn't have

a heart attack,

so that's a good thing.

-What-- Let me out of here.

-Take it easy.

But you did have

an acute panic attack,

and you fainted.

You know, it could have been

a lot worse.

-Yeah, I could be dead.

-We're gonna have to

take you to the hospital

and get you checked out.

-No, no, I'm fine.

-What's going on?

-MAYA: Oh, my God, Elias.

-You got me strapped in here?

-What happened?

I knew something was gonna--

I knew it,

and what did I say?

-My body had a personal

stress festival.

I'm a little over capacity,

I guess.

Now, let me get out of here.

-Whoa, whoa, wait.

What do we need to do?

-His blood pressure is

really, really high,

just to let you know,

and we need to get him to

the hospital,

and we gotta get him

checked out.

-No, I'm not goin' to

the hospital, I--

-Stay still.

-Sit back.

-I'm fine. Yeah.

-I'm gonna cancel the meeting.

I'm gonna cancel

the meeting for tomorrow.

-Tomorrow? We need that.

No, no, I--

You said that guy's

blowin' up.

I can't afford

not to take that kid.

-Okay, look.

You're gonna take a vacation--

-What?

-And you're gonna

let your staff

handle things

a little bit.

-You're not gonna tell anybody

about what happened tonight.

-We won't tell anybody about

what happened tonight

if you promise that you'll take

a little leave of absence.

-They played the new song.

-Why did you let them do that?

-I-- I--

-Why?

-I didn't let them do it.

-You did!

-I can't control what Dylan--

started playing the song.

Why did Johnny become

a heroin addict,

start f*cking

the bass player?

-Is he f*ck' her still?

-I don't know.

But you know what?

We'll rush the release,

I'll do damage control,

it'll be fine.

-Don't worry about it.

-ELIAS: No.

-You guys have a recording of

the song they played tonight?

-They did that, like,

a year ago.

-Well, that's a relief.

I mean, come on,

look on the bright side.

-Shoulda gotten married

25 years ago,

I got no kids,

I got nothin'.

I got nobody,

I just got that stupid band.

-You have us.

-Yeah, that's right.

-You have us,

and we need you.

-Come here, Maya.

-Come on, just go to

the hospital.

-Come on, climb up here.

-You know what--

-You know what you're doing?

-No, he needs to be checked out.

-If you could just sign this

and maybe release him.

-We need to get out of here.

-MAYA: I don't know

about this, guys.

-Good.

-Let me out of here.

Let me out!



-Hi, I called earlier.

I'm checking to see if

a package that I sent--

-Hey!

-Listen, I gotta

call you back.

-That show last night

was f*ck' sick.

God, I wish I could see 'em

in a venue this small.

Look at that.

Look at that.

-God, that's insane.

-Look at the moshing.

[laughs]

-You know what?

Let's just save our money

and move to California.

That's where it all goes down.

One day, you could be

working with The Relentless.

-Yeah. Working with

The Relentless.

-Hey, I'm not kidding you.

You're good enough to be

working with any band you want.

You could be working with

The Relentless.

You're not gonna do that

sitting here.

I think we should do it.

Come on, L.A.

-Don't test me.

I'll do it.

I'll fully do it.

-[laughing]



-So going to

Akkadian Records?

-Uh, yeah.

-I know where that is.

You know, when I first

came out with my demo,

KROQ still played

loud guitars.

What the f*ck is this sh*t?

Weak!

I should probably change

to Sirius.

How do you feel about

some Octane?

Are you a singer?

-No.

-Oh, do you work there?

-No.

-Oh. You're applying

for a job?

-No, I'm not.

-Your friends and family

work there?

-Yeah. Something like that.

-Oh, Mm-hm, mm-hm.

[chuckles]

Taking your baby

from the bus stop to

the record label.

Sounds like a real

Hollywood story.



-Yo, yo, yo,

what's up?

-Yeah.

-So

what's y'all gonna do

to get me on the cover

of "The Rolling Stone"?

-WOMAN: It's actually just

"Rolling Stone."

Oh, uh-- Oh.

So you-- you seriously think

you're ready

to be on the cover of

"Rolling Stone."

-I was born ready, girl.

Question is,

does the big boss man

in this room

got what it takes

to get me to the top?

-With all due respect,

there's a lot

we need to build up

before a cover.

-Yeah. Maybe your girl Maya

is just wasting my time

sending me here.

-Oh, Maya wasted your time--

-Yeah.

-Comin' over here?

-Maybe

I need to be on a major,

'cause it sounds like

y'all caught up in the minors.

Know what I mean?

-What-- What--

It's, uh, Fritz?

-Yeah, that's right.

-Right.

Now, we all see your greatness

and appreciate it,

it's crystal clear,

but maybe we just need to--

to show you.

-I'm listening.

-Maybe make, uh-- Yeah.

"Rolling Stone."

There you go.

Now, just grab it

with both hands.

Tight.

Visualize you on the cover.

-Yeah.

[chuckles] Yeah.

-ELIAS: Right?

Now just toss it onto

the floor.

Throw it away.

Yeah, like it doesn't

even matter.

-Don't even matter.

-Because the world is waiting

for an artist like you.

-That's right.

Now we're talkin'.

-'Cause you're already a star.

-Big star.

-So you just need us

to make you shine bright.

-Yeah, I'm feelin' that sh*t.

-'Cause you're gonna shine

f*cking bright.

-I hope y'all just got

what it takes

to make sure everybody

see me shine.

-Right.

So now

stand up

so that we can see the light.

-That's right.

-Okay, step back.

Put both feet on the magazine.

-Like this?

-ELIAS: Good.

Close your eyes.

Take a deep breath.

[Fritz inhales]

-ELIAS: Breathe in real deep

and dream about being

right there on the cover.

-[exhales] Yeah. Yeah, man.

[exhales]

-Congratulations.

-FRITZ: Yeah, what you got?

-You made it.

You're on the cover

of the "Rolling Stone."

-The f*ck?!

-[laughing]

-Serious?

-ELIAS: You can, uh,

validate your parking

out front, Fritz.

-He serious?

-Yeah, he's serious.

-[laughing]

-Man, f*ck y'all.

I'm gonna holler at Pantheon.

-Elias, we have someone here

who needs--

-Man, f*ck Akkadian Records!

Y'all can't handle my hype

anyway.

-Someone needs to

meet with you.

-Who? Who needs something?

Everybody needs something

around here.

-Trust me.

-Everybody needs something,

it's like, Elias, I need you

to get me a gig,

I need you--

Elias, I need an advance,

Elias, I need--

Big deal. I--

-Well, who-- What? Who? Who?

[baby fussing]

-Wha--

-[baby crying]

-You need me?

-[sniffling]

-What? What is this?

-[sniffles]

I-- I'm sorry, sir.

Please make sure

she gets to her father.

-What are you talking about?

What-- What are you do--

Who's fa-- What?

Hey! Hey, somebody stop her!

-Jeez, what--

Faith Sarah Faust.

Oh-- Oh, s-- What--



-It's Elias.

-Take it if you need to,

but stay in the zone.

-What's up, dude?

Yeah, why?



-And the birth certificate

says Faith Sarah Faust,

Las Vegas, Nevada.

-JOHNNY: Wow.

-Mm-hm.

-JOHNNY:

I-- I can't believe it.

So what happens now?

-I'm-- I'm gonna take her home.

Nobody has to know anything.

-JOHNNY: All right, uh,

just-- just, uh--

just make sure this doesn't

end up leaking online from

some intern.

-No one in this office

knows who the father is.

So-- And, well, you can come by

the house later if you--

if you're ready to.

-JOHNNY: Elias, thank you.

-Love you, kid.

-JOHNNY: Love you too, man.

-[phone beeps]

-[baby cries]

-[sighs]

-[crying continues]

-Rock, rock.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-[sighs] Well,

we need to print out NDAs

for everybody in this office.

This cannot get out.

And you need to find me

the best nanny in town.

-I'm on it.

-Great.

-I should probably pick up

some diapers, also.

Are you still gonna go to

the Sirius XM studios

for the world premiere of

their new single tonight?

[baby fussing]

-Yeah, it's--

it's a stupid question.

-Wow.

[baby fussing]

-What'd Elias have to say?

-He told me something that's

gonna affect my career

in all sorts of ways.

-Okay, well, can you still

go to therapy after this?

-Of course.

-What did he say?

-Can we do something special

tonight? Just us?

-Don't you have

the radio premiere

for the new song?

-[sighs] The other guys

can handle that.

Tonight's about me and you,

not the band.

-That's perfect.

[exhales]

Jesus, man.

That's heavy.

But hey, dude, it's--

That's beautiful

at the same time.

I mean, she's healthy, right?

-Yeah, I guess.

I'm going to Elias's to

meet her for the first time.

-[sighs] Wow.

When are you gonna tell

Gretchen?

-I'm not.

Not until after

I propose to her.

-Wait. What?

-If she finds out

that I have a kid

from a one-night stand,

there's no way she'll say yes.

She'll say that she loves me,

she'll cry.

She can't do it.

-Yeah, but, I mean,

you're just gonna, like,

keep the kid a secret?

You gonna do adoption?

-No.

I'll tell her after I propose.

-Oh, Jo-- Okay, I'm not

following here, Johnny.

-I need the peace of mind.

I need to know that

if I didn't f*ck this up,

what could have been.

I'll t*rture myself for

the rest of my life if I don't.

-All right.

Yeah, I know, man, I--

I get that, I do.

Yeah, just make sure you do,

like, a paternity test,

and, you know,

just before you, you know.

I got your back.

You know that, right?

Listen, come here, dude.

I love you, man.

Seriously.

It's gonna be okay.



-And now you have Pauly

from Over It All on four.

-[sighs] Oh, Pauly.

Hey, Pauly.

-PAULY: Hey, Maya.

We finally got to Virginia.

How you doin'?

-Mm.

-So, promoter said

we ain't gettin'

any beer or food.

-MAYA: I'm sorry, Pauly.

He said he only pre-sold

seven tickets.

-PAULY: We used to

sell this place out

in advance.

-I know.

-What's happening?

-You have that Relentless call

starting in one minute.

-MAYA: Pauly,

let me call you back.

-All right?

-All right.

-[phone beeps]

-The f*ck is goin' on?

-Seven pre-sells

is what's goin' on.

-Did you advance this show?

Did you talk to Maya about

what tours are running at

the same time?

Did they make fliers?

-Don't put this on me.

Don't put this on me.

-You're the manager.

You're supposed to manage sh*t.

-Answer the f*cking question!

-Ahh! Ain't my f*cking fault!

All right? This sh*t's shot.

I'm not in the band.

You're on the flier,

I'm not! All right, dude!

-It's a good thing

you're not on the flier.

Look at you. You look like

a g*dd*mn monchhichi.

Get the f*ck outta here.

-Would you f*ck' stop?

-Get to work.

What the f*ck?

Manage some sh*t.

-Ain't my fault you can't see

the freakin' picture, dude.

You can't see the picture!

No one's here!

Nobody's here!



-You should try it.

-Here, guys.

-Thank you.

-What's up, guys?

-Hey, hey.

-So, uh--

So where's Johnny, mate?

-Uh, he, uh--

Said for us just to talk about

the game plan then, uh,

let him know

what we're thinkin'.

-[scoffs] Wow, what--

what's his deal this time?

-So, have you spoken

to Gretchen lately or

-No.

-Probably a good idea to do so.

-Yeah, I mean, I figured

you'd want to reach out

with us starting back up again.

Had to have been

some tension last night,

old wounds reopening,

you know what I mean?

-Yeah, it's probably true.

I should call her

and figure out a meeting.

So wait, Johnny's still

going on air with us

for premiere of

the single, right?

-Uh--

[clears throat] No.

No, no, he said for me, you

and Leo just to go handle it.

-Wait, what?

So he's not coming,

and he specifically said he

doesn't want me there, either?

-Well, I mean, Dylan,

it's kind of your fault

we're having to rush

this whole release.

You're f*cking

with my head ♪

Yeah, yeah,

you're f*cking with my head ♪

You're f*cking

with my head ♪

-Hey, Maya, it's Jay.

I've only got

seven tickets sold

for this

Over It All show tomorrow

and I'm not gettin' k*lled

on this tour.

-MAYA: Jay, why don't you

shave off some expenses

for tomorrow,

and stop breakin'

my f*ck' ba*ls, huh?

-Look, your guys are just

gonna have to do without

the booze and dinner.

I'll do towels and water

but that's it.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I don't know about all that.

Why don't we

talk tomorrow night

after doors, okay?

-Tomorrow night?

This is a matinee show.

You talked me into doing

a matinee show on a weeknight.

-What the f*ck kind of

booking agent are you?

-The best kind, Jay.

The best.

Goodbye.

[phone beeps]

-sh*t.

-Dad, you should calm down.

It's just a concert.



-Come see The Flux.

It's an all-ages show,

it's only 10 bucks.

-Hey.

-You should come to our show.

-Yeah.

-Hey, I recognize you.

-Yeah, I've been to

your show before.

-I'm Amanda.

-[chuckles] Tosin.

Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

-Hi, uh, Simon.

-Hi. Hi. Amanda.

-Nice to meet you.

Um, you're the person

who runs that really cool site

with the local bands,

the D.C.-Virginia-Maryland

area.

-Yeah. Yeah, my friend

is actually opening for

Over It All

the same day as your show but

I heard it might get cancelled.

Do you guys need some help?

-Uh, yeah, we'd love

some help, for sure.

Sorry, um, Jay cancelled

the show or the band?

-Yeah, Jay, 'cause of

low ticket sales,

but, um, maybe you could

add 'em to yours?

-Uh, yeah.

I doubt we could afford 'em,

but might as well try.

Their agent doesn't really

give us the time of day

'cause we're kind of

small time,

but she might now,

you know?

-Mm-hm.

-Hey, we, uh, still

working here or what?

-Yeah, we're working.

-Yeah, sorry.

-Um would you mind

handing some of these out

if you're gonna be helping?

-No, no, no.

-Sweet. Thank you.

[whistle blows]

-GIRL: Over here.

I'm open!

-GRETCHEN: Come on, girls.

We've got this.

If you want to

make it to state,

we have to treat

every minute on this field

like you're already there.

Let's go!

-[indistinct shouting]

-[cell phone ringing]

-Hello.

-Hey, Gretchen.

Uh, it's Lily, hi.

-Hey. How are you?

-Oh, I'm--

I'm all right. Um--

Look, I just, uh--

I wanted to talk to you

the other night,

but I didn't know if,

you know,

it was the right time

or place so I just--

-Hey, I'm sorry, I gotta go

because I'm coaching right now,

but, uh,

we can talk later maybe.

-Oh, right, right.

Okay, no, um--

Well, really quick,

I-- I just wanted to see if

there's a time

later this week,

you know,

that we could just finally

have a chat, it would be good

to-- to do that, you know?

-Yeah. Sure. I'll-- I'll just

call you after practice.

-Great. Thanks, Gretchen.

It's really--

[phone beeps]

[sighs]

-WOMAN: Hey, hon.

Do you have any more laundry?

-Um yes.

I have a wash, um,

that's waiting to go in.

Why?

-You ready for what

this sick f*ck wants now?

-What?

-Five grand for your lint.

[chuckles]

-Swing it, b*tch. Yes!

God, I love a good creep.

-Live Nation's on three

about the New York show

with The Relentless,

AEG also wants to

put in an offer,

and just about every other

promoter in the country's

been trying to reach you

about them.

-Okay.

-And Jay's on one.

He said it's urgent.

-[groans] Ohh.

All right, hold Live Nation.

What's up, Jay?

-I see that The Relentless

played a special club date.

I'm sure as hell gonna get

the east coast play, aren't I?

I mean,

so I can make up some of

the money I'm going to--

-It's not in the cards, Jay.

-Why? I took the risk on 'em

when they were nobodies,

I mean, come on.

-There's no easy way

to say this but

your place just isn't

the right look, man.

-I'll tell you what's not

the right look,

this f*cking washed up band

that you sold me

that's gonna cost me

my g*dd*mn mortgage!

That's it,

I'm pulling the show!

-Is that Jay screaming

about Over It All?

Why are you still booking

that f*cking dumpster fire?

-Because I've been with them

forever, Ross,

and I am loyal to a fault,

I guess.

-What is up with Elias

making a complete fool

out of Fritz?

What's up with that?

I mean,

you set up that meeting,

you sent him over there.

-I didn't know it was gonna

go down like that.

-That's a problem, okay?

I mean,

that kid is blowing up.

He's blowing up, Maya.

I mean, come on,

we gotta stay

relevant with that stuff.

with the new wave

of the [stammers]

the sound-- you know,

of the sound--

-Cloud.

-Sound cloud rap stuff.

-[scoffs]

-Look, you,

you're gonna have to cover

that showcase, all right?

-Okay, okay.

-You're gonna do it,

and you're gonna bring

every label and every manager

you know.

We're not gonna lose this kid

over this.

-Ross, do you know

one of Fritz's songs?

-Uh

yeah.

"Dice"

Yeah, I got--

I'm gonna go look it up,

but just get on that.

Wow. Thanks.

-Jay.

-Hello?

-You pay them 50 percent.

The band already drove

down there.

It's not fair, Jay.

-50 percent beats

a hundred percent.

That sounds fair to me.

-[phone line disconnects]

-Dad, I don't think

it's gonna be a good look

for the local scene

if we just cancel the show.

And would you please take

your blood pressure medicine?

-I tell you what, man,

this business is drivin' me

right off the f*ck' deep end.

I am really sorry,

but I promise

the next time I talk to her,

I will get her to listen to

your demo.

I'm sorry.

Hate to lose my temper

like that.

-WOMAN: Gretchen,

do you feel your insecurities

make it difficult

to trust Johnny?

-I used to be so confident.

Ever since he had sex

with his bass player,

I just find myself constantly

over-analyzing everything,

and comparing myself to her.

-It was meaningless,

drug-induced sex on tour.

You could come on

the road with me,

and then you wouldn't have to

worry about that.

-Well, Gretchen

shouldn't have to uproot

her entire life

to feel stable and secure

in relationship with you.

-I mean, I like traveling

with Johnny sometimes,

but I also like

having my own career

with teaching and the team.

-So, what can I do?

-It's more what I feel like

I need to do.

I don't have

millions of followers,

I'm not in a rock band,

I'm never gonna have

that Gothic edgy look.

-Babe, stop.

I don't give a sh*t

about any of that.

I've loved you since

before the band.

I want to spend

my life with you.

I want to have

a child with you.

None of that

would have ever happened

if I weren't on drugs,

and I'm clean now.

Besides, I think

an English teacher

is a lot hotter than

some rocker girl.

-Viv, where's the baby?

Vivian, I'm talking to you.

Where's the baby?

Vivian,

where's my granddaughter?

Where is Faith Sarah Faust?

-Faith is far away from

her psychotic grandmother.

-What?

No, no, no.

So what, you just-- you just

gave her to the father?

Well, where's the check?

-Gretchen, do you want

a family with Johnny?

-I mean, yeah. Someday.

But he's in a band with her.

It's not gonna change

any time soon.

-I mean, there was

a Relentless before Lily,

there can be one after her.

-Getting rid of her

isn't the solution.

It means a lot that

you'd be willing to do that,

but it's not what

the fans want.

It's not what I want.

-So what do you want?

-Tell me there's a check.

God.

That little girl was the--

the key to our way out of

this sh*thole existence!

Are you insane?

-I did what was best for her,

and for me.

I'm not gonna be

a gold digger groupie

in the tabloids, Mom.

-How do you think that

you could make the relationship

more secure for Gretchen?

-I have to rebuild the trust.

I have to show her

my absolute commitment.

-This stupid, little girl.

You stupid,

stupid little girl!

Go on, head back to your job

where you make your sandwiches

for $10 an hour.

You see how far wearing that

stupid little hat gets you.

You know nothing about life!

-f*ck you, Lizzie.

-[sobbing]

Goddamit!

-WOMAN: Why don't you guys

go do something special?

What was your first date like?

-Well, we went to

the county fair.

It was freshman year,

I had just moved to town,

and Johnny bribed

the Ferris wheel guy

to let us ride all night

until he got his first kiss.

-It only took, uh,

like three hours,

and about 300 dirty looks

from the people in line.

[chuckles]

-Now we're getting somewhere.



-That DIY kid in Virginia

with the legion hall shows

is on three.

-Do I look like I have time

to take calls from teenagers?

-He has a show he can put

Over It All on to replace Jay's.

-Oh.

-[phone beeps]

-Um, h-- hey, dude.

-Um, Simon.

-Simon, right, right.

Um, I heard you had

a show that you could

add Over It All to?

-Uh, yeah, yeah, I do.

The bands are all local,

but, uh, it's gonna sell out

for sure.

-Can you pay 'em three grand?

-Um--[chuckles]

If I had a month to promote

instead of a day.

Does a thousand work for you?

-Fair enough.

Okay, send me the show's info,

my email address is--

-Yeah, I know,

I got your email.

Maybe now

I'll get a response.

-[chuckles] Well,

now we finally have

some business to do, huh?

Well played, young man.

-Thank you. Um, if you

don't mind me asking,

why did Jay cancel the show?

-Oh, 'cause he didn't

get his way,

and, uh, the low ticket count

didn't help.

-Yeah, ever since he made

the no moshing rule,

kids stopped going there.

-Wh-- What did he do?



-Okay, so if I beat

your high score,

you're doing the dishes

the rest of the month.

Here we go, here we go.

-[clattering, bell ringing]

Come on, baby. Ooh!

Boom. Oh, sh*t, oh,

she's doin' good.

Oh, oh, rackin' up the--

-[doorbell rings]

Who's here? What--

Did you--

You didn't tell me

anyone was coming--

-I didn't tell you

Johnny's coming over?

-f*ck! I hate you!

You did that sh*t on purpose.

You know you did.

You're a f*ck' as*h*le,

and you're still doing

the dishes.

Hi, Johnny.

-Hey, Mrs. Stone.

-Oh, my God.

Janis, please.

Give me a hug.

Okay, by the way,

Mr. Stone said that

if you beat his high score

in Pinball,

he'll give up his commissions

the rest of the year.

-Wow. Thanks, hon.

I love you, too.

-Yeah, you do.

-How you doin'?

You change your mind

about tonight?

-No, I still can't go.

-Go on, have a seat.

-I, uh-- I need you

to get Elias to give us

the advance

for the record up front.

-Why? What's goin' on?

-I just spent a fortune on

a ring for Gretchen,

and I got a bunch of

heavy sh*t goin' on.

Plus, honestly,

I don't think I'm the only

one who needs the cash.

-Uh-huh.

Mm-hm.

Full advance.

It's gonna put a lot of

pressure on Elias.

Are you two okay?

What-- Is it Gretchen?

Did she and Lily talk?

-No, but

I think she's fine.

-Buddy, I gotta tell ya.

If you think women

ever get over that sh*t,

you're livin' in a dream land.

But have you been working on

any new songs,

new material?

'Cause that's gonna be

the first thing Elias asks.

-[sighs] Yeah, a little bit.

It's kind of hard for me to

focus on that right now.

-Yeah.

Hey, we'll get you

a few million bucks.

And you can put that ring

on her finger.

You'll be back on track.

-Okay. Hey, thanks, Adam.

-Hey. We're in this together.



-MAN: And coming up

in less than 60 seconds,

the release of a new single

by The Relentless,

exclusively here

on Sirius XM Octane.

-Oh, hang on.

How about I, uh, trade you

those keys for

these snacks here?

-A solid deal right there.

-Hm. So wait.

You promised them $1,000?

That's all of our profit.

I mean, they're a cool band,

but they're shot.

They're not gonna draw us

any extra people.

-Yeah, no, I know,

but now

we have a relationship

with the agent.

And, dude, she represents

all our favorite bands.

The Relentless

is on her roster.

[chuckles]

-And that's why you're

the business guy.

-I'm telling you, man.

Cheers to that, right?

-Woohoo!

-Let's do it.

-Even I know her agency.

Hey, just relax,

it's one beer.

Hey, and who

bought these anyway?

[music playing on TV]

-Okay, let me call you back,

they're going on,

they're going on.

-Hey, now, what's up?

It's Jose Mangin,

Sirius XM Octane,

please welcome to the airwaves

Lily, Vic and Leo

from The Relentless.

-Yeah.

-What's up?

Good to see you, my friends.

Congratulations on

the huge success

of the first album, the tour,

the world domination.

We're so proud of you,

but we've had your back

since the beginning.

-Yeah.

-And you know that, man.

And Lily,

our 15 year old daughter

started playing

the bass guitar

because of you.

You're doing an awesome job.

Keep inspiring, girl.

-[chuckle] Oh, my goodness.

Thank you.

-Of course.

No, you're welcome.

So we're here to make

a world debut

of a new song from

The Relentless

called "Forgive Me, Mother."

So you guys

wrote and recorded

this new song

before you went on hiatus.

Tell us a bit about it.

-Okay, this is gonna be

your castle. Okay?

But this, I don't know

what this if for.

-[metal clattering]

-I think this is a mosquito net.

Oh-- Oh.

[beeping]

Calling Mars.

[buzzing]

[growling] Woo!

-LEO: Like, when you're

on tour, you see the world

from a road through

a bus window. You know?

I mean,

not really experiencing

the cities you're in

every day,

so you sort of slip into

this vicious cycle

where you wake up,

you get on stage,

you get off stage

and you rage

far more than anyone has

any business doing.

Then you recover,

and the cycle sort of

repeats itself,

all the while,

you don't even realize

how fast time's flying by,

because you're just out there

thinking, well,

-these moments are never

gonna end. You know?

-Yep.

-But let's be real.

The-- the time that

you enjoy wasting,

it's not wasted time.

-This--

There should be holes.

I don't know how to

read directions.

Never could.

This is--

[imitates engine revving]

-Just gotta stray away from

being clichéd degenerate

f*ck' rock guys, you know?

In shorter words,

we need to grow up a little

and appreciate more.

You know?

-Yeah.

-[crying]

-I got ya.

Oh--[babbling]

-[crying continues]

-Do you need to be changed?

-JOSE: All right, well,

let's change direction

and talk about lyrics.

-[crying]

-Look at this.

Oh, is this your fanny?

-[crying]

-No. Help.

-JOSE:

with this next new song

that we're gonna debut.

"Forgive me, Mother,

for I have sinned,

by being what my father's

always been."

Now, is that Johnny being

metaphorical

about not being present

in the moment,

or is there something more

to the lyrics?

-You know, I think that's, uh--

that's a question for Johnny.

-Yeah.

-All right, I'll ask him,

you know,

maybe next time I see him.

-What's the real story?

-Johnny Faust doesn't know

who his dad is.

-Wait. I didn't know

he was adopted.

-He's not. His mom

toured for a living.

She just never found out

who the dad was.

Girls like to have fun, too,

you know?

-So, he went his whole life

never having a dad?

How the hell

do you know that?

-Um I read a lot.

His mom did an interview

in an old issue

of Hit Parader magazine,

like back in the early '90s

when she first got pregnant.

But, uh, the issue

was never digitized,

so not a lot of people know.

-JOSE: And now, the moment

we've all been waiting for,

the world debut of a new song.

-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah.

-This is The Relentless with

"Forgive Me, Mother."

[rock]

Hopelessness

-[screams]

-Is the

-I can't breathe.

-Easiest

-Oh, sh*t!

-Ah. This is so fun.

Are you ready for

-Yeah, um,

I want to come.

I-- I don't care about

the photos and stuff.

Are you actually

-Perfect. I have to use

I'll be right back.

-Okay.

Hey, man, I, uh--

I got two tickets for

the Ferris wheel.

-All right.

Better hurry, though.

Next one is the last ride

of the night.

-I think we'll make it in time.

-Livin' on a prayer.

That's my style.

-I got faith.

-Facing your future.

Don't fight it.

-Sorry, what's that?

-I said faith in the future.

I like it.

will this help at all?

-Time! That's the last ride

Thank you so much.

Goodnight, everybody.

-Hey, uh, can we do one more?

-You'll have to

speak with her.

She presses the button.

-Okay, um, hey, miss.

Yeah, um, my girlfriend's

in the bathroom.

Is there any chance

we could do one more?

-Tonight?

-Yeah.

-You mean right now?

-Yes.

-[inhales] Ooh, ooh.

Anything for this one.

-Sorry. There was only

one stall.

I'm here now.

-[laughs] Hi.

I'll make the wheel in the sky

keep on turning,

but do you two know where

you'll be tomorrow?

-What?

-What?

-I don't know.

Let's go.

-Have fun.

-That lady was so weird.

[bell rings]

-Oh, my God. I haven't been on

one of these in so long.

Why did it take us forever

to do this?

-Why did it take me

so long to do this?

-Babe, what are you doing?

-I love you.

I can't imagine spending

the rest of my time

on this earth

with anyone but you.

I want to be together

on this journey forever.

Gretchen Mary Ruth,

will you marry me?
