[recording]
Inhale up, exhale down.
[exhales]
[recording] Repeat after me.
I think positive thoughts.
[both]
I think positive thoughts.
[recording] I am creative.
[both] I am creative.
[scatting]
Uh, Dad?
Why does it always seem like
you're the star of your own musical?
Aha! 'Cause life is amazing.
And today it's extra amazing,
because I'm meeting my favorite
singer of all time.
I thought you were your favorite singer.
Touché, baby girl. Touché.
Today I'm meeting my second
favorite singer, Ricky Bricks.
He got his start singing
with his friends in Harlem.
They became hugely successful and
You're into boybands?
Well, back then we just
called them groups.
Anyway, Ricky launched his solo
career with this album,
Life in B Flat.
Oh, in a few hours I'm going
to have him sign it.
Think one day somebody
will get this excited
about having us sign our albums for them?
Sure, if we ever get the chance
to make one.
Cool news, Dad, but we need to get back
to channeling our creativity.
We found this meditation program online.
Lots of artists say it works.
It's got millions of downloads.
Nothing you download
can compare to the inspiration
you'll find when you get out and live.
Like Ricky.
He turned his adventures into hit songs.
At least listen to it.
Okay, okay. We'll listen.
And be careful.
It's an original copy.
I'll need it back in exactly
four hours and 49 seconds.
Now, what am I going to wear?
[giggles]
Never knew my dad had the heart
of a teenage fan girl.
[laughs]
I like him even more now.
[door opens]
"Heartbreak Helicopter",
"Fast Car No Breaks",
"Running for the Life Train"?
These are adventurous songs.
[meows]
Woah, woah, woah!
[gasps]
- Whew.
- [crunching]
- No!
- The record!
No!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
It's okay.
I'm sure if we just tell your
dad the truth he'll understand.
Like that meditation lady said.
Be positive.
Positive he's going to freak out.
We're talking tears.
We're talking screams.
We're talking bad!
Hmm. There's only one thing
we can do.
Hmm.
- [both] Replace it.
- [door opens]
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hi.
What's wrong?
Why are you guys acting strange?
[nervously]
Us?
Pssh. Nothing strange here.
We were just talking about
whether this thing we need
can be bought at places that
usually sell these things.
Yep. Even though if said
thing could be bought,
certain people can't just leave
to go buy it
without being questioned.
[knocking]
[gasps]
Look normal.
Come in.
Hey. Emmett and Tyler
don't believe
I still have an original copy
of the album.
I need it back to show them.
No! I mean, not yet.
We're really studying it you know?
It's got layers so it's going
to take some time,
'cause the layers are really laid on.
Exactly.
Now you understand why I love it so much.
Take your time.
Whew.
[Jayla] So, let me get this straight.
You broke his record and
you need to buy a new one.
But to get it you've got
to sneak out of the house
without him knowing, right?
Note to self.
Talking in code around Jayla doesn't work.
Note to Brooklyn.
I can't find a copy of the album online
or at any stores in the city.
Wait.
There's this mom and pop record
store my dad always goes to.
They don't even have a website,
but I bet they have a copy.
We'll go there.
It would be a shame if you got caught
before you even got started.
[both] What do you want?
Fine. If you help
we'll take you for ice cream
two weekends in a row.
Final offer.
- Three.
- Three, and that's final final.
Deal. But before you go
♪
Hey. I was cool.
I had a six-inch hi-top.
[laughs]
Gotta see proof of that.
I know it's here somewhere.
[both] Behind the back distract.
Uncle Kel, hammer strike.
Hyah!
Woah!
Can you do a handspring?
I can.
[door squeaks]
[clears throat]
Boom!
Uh, great job, Jayla.
Eh, it's all about the core.
- [door creaks]
- Huh?
[Tyler] Still waiting on that
proof of your coolness, Kel.
Oh, I've got it right here.
[both] Whew.
I have got to stop
underestimating the twins.
They are good.
This might actually work.
They definitely earned their ice cream.
Oh, no, don't scream.
It's closed?
Aargh!!!
I can't believe this.
I can't believe this.
[exhales]
Repeat after me.
I am calm.
I am not calm!
What am I going to say to my dad?
He's had that record longer
than he's had me.
[exhales]
Let's try again. I am Lionel?
Who?
"Need a rare vinyl?
Call Lionel."
[video game beeping]
Hiyah! Got you.
Hi nope. Got you.
- Who's your sensei now?
- [knocking]
[Kel] Girls, you done with the album yet?
- [phone beeps]
- [recoding of Brooklyn] This music is great, Dad.
We're really inspired.
We just need a little more time with it.
Okay, but I need to play some
deep cuts for Emmitt and Tyler
before the signing.
So not too much longer.
- [Brooklyn] Okay.
- [Malibu] Thanks.
Sometimes I impress myself.
[phone rings]
Lionel With the Vinyl.
What do you need?
This doesn't sound like
Are you sure this is Lionel?
Very. But if you don't want
to believe I'm Lionel,
then I guess you don't really
want vinyl. Bye.
- Huh?
- Wait.
We know that voice.
Uh, Lionel With the Vinyl is my handle.
Got it from my favorite blues guitarist
Lionel "the Night Owl" Hitchens.
And your fake name finds albums?
[sighs]
I'm part of an underground network
that trades hard to find music.
So what do you need and what do you got?
We need a rare Ricky Bricks
album called Life in B Flat.
And we've got a very rare
Ricky Bricks album called
Life in B Flat in two halves.
[sighs]
Third album replacement this week.
Let me see what I can do.
[phone beeps]
Huh, knew it.
Spin Sister wants it.
- Seriously?
- That's amazing.
Yeah. She does public
art installations
using old broken records.
She once made a pop art piece
with pop hits from the '90s.
She's gifted.
And she'll give us a whole copy
of the album?
Uh, not quite.
Spin Sister's just the start.
You're going to have to make
a few more trades
to get the album you want.
But it's all set up.
Once you're done I get a $25 finder's fee.
I'll text you Spin's location
so you can get going.
And by going you mean without you?
Yeah no, we need you.
Um no, yes, that's how this works.
I just make the deal.
I don't do the deal.
[both] Please?
Fine. If you stop doing that
with your faces.
But only for one trade.
- [phone beeps]
- You almost back?
It's going to take a little
longer than we thought.
You've got to buy us some time
by telling my dad
that we went out to live some
life and find some adventure.
I don't get it.
But he will. Trust me.
Just don't let him know that the
record isn't in the album cover.
Both: Got it.
The record came out in March.
I remember because I listened to it
while studying for a big test,
which I passed with an A+.
It was May.
I jammed to it while
tie-dyeing in my dorm,
which I always did in May,
before the music festival in June.
Wrong! It was winter
because it was snowing
when I went to the music store.
And the line was around the block.
My hi-top froze.
Papa, you went to a store to buy music?
[laughs]
That's right.
We just push a button.
Why do they even call it
"the good old days" Dad?
[sighs]
Because they were.
Now that we can agree on.
Hey, where are the girls?
I'm surprised they haven't
come down to say hi.
They just left. Something about
living life, finding an adventure?
Hoo-hoo!
Ricky Bricks gets 'em every time.
Let me grab that album so I can
play you those songs before we leave.
Wait, we um
[stomach growls]
We're hungry. Will you
cook us something?
I assure you we fed them.
There's no scientific explanation
for that boy's growling stomach.
Groceries don't even see
the light of the fridge in our house.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.
I have been asked to cook
and a true chef never denies
a hungry belly.
♪
There's Spin Sister.
Great artist, super moody.
I'll do the talking.
Place the record pieces
and $50 on the board.
That wasn't the deal.
And that's 50 more dollars than we have.
She is moody.
Can't believe I have to tell my dad
his favorite album is gone forever.
Maybe it would be easier to just move out.
Wait. My dad's my hero.
I got you, girl.
Hey. We only have one rule
in the network.
A deal's a deal.
If you don't make a clean trade,
I'll tell Big Bass and
[scoffs] Uh, yeah.
That's what I thought.
You did it.
Without you we would've been stuck.
And Brooklyn would've had to move out.
I forgot some traders can be
tricky to newbies.
Rest of the trades shouldn't be an issue.
But I think I'll roll with you
just in case.
I should've mentioned
the dad thing sooner.

We're meeting Big Bass here.
He's a top player in this whole network.
His dad's an exec with a lot
of music connections.
There he is.
[slurps]
Did you mean "Little Bass?"
I heard that.
You got the album?
Ha. This is a classic.
Trade that for the Ricky B album.
Yes.
Thank you, Mr. Bass!
And Lyla, here's the address
to your last trade.
But before you open it, you know
what I want to know.
It's Lionel With the Vinyl to you.
And I told you, we're never
going on a date.
- You're 10.
- Yeah.
But I'm also a 10,
if you know what I'm saying.
No one knows what you're saying.
[slurps]
I'll wait for your call.
You can wait until you're 110.
It still won't happen.
- We'll see.
- [phone rings]
We're running out
of distractions. Where are you?
We've just got one more stop and
[gasps]
My Dad has the album cover!
Finally.
Uncle Kel, I'm sad.
- What's wrong?
- I just
I just need to talk about my feelings.
She just played the feelings card.
After that we got nothing.
Hurry.
Okay. This is the address.
Album's definitely inside this building.
You mean the one with the big
mean security guards outside?
Maybe they just look mean.
Nope. No password, no entry.
[all] They're mean.
I'm not calling him.
Come on.
He's a kid with a crush.
Annoying, yes.
Small, very. But powerful.
You know he knows that password.
[sighs]
[dialing]
Told you you'd call.
What's the password, 5th grader?
Be nice. If you aren't you'll
never get past B125's Security.
B125?
He's the most exclusive member
in the network.
I've never even traded with him.
Yep. And he's my bro.
So, what's it going to be?
You, me, movies, Saturday?
Say yes and the password's yours.
[hangs up]
Not one word.
[both] Behind the back distract.
And then when we were five,
we were eating lunch and didn't
get to finish our milk.
The teacher just took it.
Why would she do that?
Milk has always been a sore
subject for you two.
And even though I'm lactose intolerant,
I see how this could be
traumatizing. What's important is
I gotta go. I really feel for you
kids with the milk thing and all,
but it's Ricky Bricks
and we're going to be late.
- I feel better, Papa.
- Me too, Dad.
And we should walk
very, very slowly.
[all] Pizza delivery.
- Extra large.
- Extra sauce.
Woah! Extra messy.
Careful!
We don't want a mess.
Ugh, so close.
Woah! Woah!
[gasps]
Still close-ish.
I think I'm good, guys.
Uh, I thought wrong.
- [gasps]
- No!
[grunts]
No New Yorker should ever say this,
but these pizza slices are too big.
[grunting]
Do you two sing?
Your "no" earlier harmonized perfectly.
If you ever want to record
I manage a studio
- and can get you in.
- You can?
That's our dream.
Woah!
- We made it.
- Whew.
- [man] Who are you?
- [gasps]
And how'd you get past my security guards?
Oh, it's called the behind
the back distract.
We did it with pizza but it
can work with anything.
You just
We're um, looking for B125?
[laughs] Well, you found him.
Behind the back distract, huh?
I'll have to try it.
That for me?
Nice to meet you, Mr. B125.
Ooh, "Honey Won't You Be My Queen Bee"?
Mm-mm-mm. Thank you.
This album means a lot to me.
My Dad always played it when I was a kid.
Inspired me to sing.
[laughs] Who would've guessed
I'd still be doing autograph signings
for my own album Life in B Flat
all these years later.
[both gasps]
You're Ricky Bricks?
In the flesh.
Oh, and I'd better get you your trade.
Don't want Big Bass upset.
A deal's a deal and all that.
I can't believe this.
Long story, but the album's for my dad.
I mean, he totally already had a copy
but we sort of needed a new one.
I never thought we'd get it
from Ricky Bricks himself.
My dad would be losing it if he were here.
I have that effect, particularly on dads.
You know, since you worked
so hard to get it for him,
here's VIP passes for the event.
Front of the line and a private
meet and greet.
[squeals]
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- [phone dings]
- Oh, no.
The twins say
they're almost to the signing.
There's no way we'll get there
before my dad sees the record is gone.
[laughs] Hey, hey, you're cool.
You're already here.
The line's right out front.
- It is?
- Thank you.
Brooklyn, Malibu.
Did you get it?
Yep. And you'll never
believe who
Wait, you're all cool now?
Sure are. We're going to
a session at Blown Speaker.
We even get the friends
and family discount.
Friends and family?
They're strangers.
No time now, but we'll talk
more about this discount later.
What do you want from me?
I had to think fast.
Plus, they really do have talent.
♪
Did you really have to stop
at every store?
We're going to be last in line.
Look. There's Brooklyn
and Malibu.
What are you doing here?
We couldn't miss you
fanning out over Ricky.
Fan out? I'm not going
to fan out.
No? Not even if you have
VIP passes?
[screams excitedly]
How'd you girls get these?
Let's just say we had one of
those adventures you suggested.
Aha, see? Nothing
beats real life.
Now, let's get to the front of the line.
Follow me.
Wait. Don't you need this?
Oh, right. Thanks.
Looks just as good as the day I bought it.
Thanks, Lyla.
You really saved us.
We'll send over your finders fee.
You know what friends?
It's on me.
But the studio discount, not happening.
