I I got here as fast as I could.
You smell like rum, brother.
[SIGHS.]
I'm very hungover.
I'd offer you some hot cider, but the pressure cooker busted, right in the middle of that rush, 'cause I think 'cause I tried to make soap in it, which shouldn't have done, but I'm really sorry, man, I I fucked up.
Hey, it's all right.
Look at you.
What is this? Uh, you don't have to That's that's okay.

- Let's just No worries.
Just have a seat.

- What are you? Come on, man.
Ow.
Here.
- Oh - There.
I've just run into a little bit of blockage, man.
[GRUNTS.]
Oh my God.
Please don't stop.
I'm not stopping.
I'm just oiling up, Peter.
- [GRUNTS.]
- Oh God.
There's a whole new Peter I'm uncovering.
Is this Is this what you did to my wife? In a way.
- Ah Oh! - Ah-ah! Oh, there you are, Peter.
Ah.
Let's go get you some fries.
Thank you.
There's something different about you, Peter.
Your vibrations are very different.
What's up? I don't know.
I did kind of get into it last night.
I'm a little hungover.
I actually I had sex last night.
Se Peter, mazel tov! That's outstanding.
Making love is making love.
Uh-huh.
There's more of it now for us today to share.
Yeah.
I kind of thought maybe it was one thing, and It was just a casual It was just casual.
She made that abundantly clear.
Hey, man, to hell with the labels.
There was a transference of energy.
Your horn blew and it was heard, my friend.
How was it? It was my first time using a condom.
So that It was a little weird.
Sure.
Yeah.
Au naturel is preferred, but She had 'em right there, in a basket.
Like for fruit or keys.
Just dozens of free condoms.
Like a clinic.
I I feel like the condom isn't the issue.
There's somethin' else.
What's up, man? I just can't shake the feeling that I did something wrong.
Okay? Like I I'm getting away with something, like I robbed a bank.
I I feel like I sinned.
Which is weird, 'cause I don't even know if I believe in that.
Ooh, sounds to me like you are expanding your mind.
I had a conversation, I had too many drinks, I did something I never thought I'd do, and now I feel like a different person.
- Oh, good.
- No! That's not good! What part of that is good? I liked who I was.
I wanna be that guy.
You need to lose yourself to find out who you are.
That's exciting.
It's not exciting to be floating on a blue marble, in an infinitely expanding universe.
Where's it goin'? What's on the other side of the expanding? Infinite universe.
- Fuck! - I know.
- No! - Yes! Peter, I went to a party when I was in college.
You went to college? Tons of 'em, man.
All I knew about it was that it was on Sycamore Street, at a house with a red door.
So I go to Sycamore Street.
Find a house.
It's got a red door.
I walk inside.
There's a party, and I don't know a single soul in it.
It was the wrong party and the wrong house.
So just as I'm about to bug out, the host finds me calms me down.
He says, "You're not in the wrong house.
You're in the right house.
" And then he introduces me to everybody.
Gives me pizza.
I meet his dad.
What's your point? Pete, you feel like you went into the wrong red door.
But you didn't.
You went into the perfect door, brother.
There's no reason to be scared.
You just have to relax and acclimate.
This is a party, man.
Life is a party.
There's pizza, and some guy's dad that still texts you on your birthday.
You're not alone, Peter.
You're never alone, man.
Come on.
Where? Where are you taking me? Peter, just be with me today.
Okay? The goal is no goal.
It's not about getting on the Johnny Carson Show.
It's just Oh! Oh! Hey.
Hey, why do I feel high? Did that oil you put on me, did that have weed in it? [LAUGHS.]
Yeah, of course it did.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be healing weed oil.
Yeah, but you You got me high.
You got you high.
You let me rub it on you, man, but it's okay.
It's just topical.
It's not supposed to soak into your bloodstream, I don't think, through your forehead.
That's im That's possible.
Is that possible? I don't know, actually.
I've never used it without already being high.
- This way.
- Where you goin'? I don't know.
We're followin' the lights, brother.
When we hit a "don't walk," we turn.
We're flowin' down the river of the city, brother.
Listen to its feedback.
That's not feedback, it's on a timer.
All right, Peter, which way, brother? Right? He's feelin' right.
Move out.
Stuck-up ass, fake brainy-looking Yo, George Clooney.
New New blend.
One time.
Hey! You guys like hip-hop? - Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, I like hip-hop.
- Yeah, Peter - Check this shit out.
- Uh, Kendrick Lamar? Man, fuck that nigga, he already rich.
This that new underground shit, that good good.
It's loud! It's good, this is good.
It's Oh Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool, man.
That's cool, thank you.
Thanks for letting me listen.
Nah, nah, that's you, boy.
That's 10 dollars.
- No, I - Nah, man, help me out, man.
I've been on the corner all day, all night.
It's smoky as shit out here, ain't no bitches out here.
The police harassin' a nigga, all that shit, man.
I'm sorry about all that.
Uh, but I I don't I don't want Oh! Okay.
A'ight.
Okay, I see.
I see what this is.
Another white man takin' advantage of another brother, huh? I No.
It's it's not a racial thing, I'm just Oh, it's always a racial thing in America.
And your white guilt is showin' all over the place.
I don't have white guilt I have the right level of white guilt.
But I'm not, like Are you I'm sorry, I feel like you're trying to scare me.
Oh, now Okay, now the scare card comes in, right? This is getting a little scary.
Scary? 'Cause I'm black? - No! - Do I look like I got a gun on me? - No.
- Huh? Okay.
Cool.
Hi.
I'm here now, and my name's Leif.
Very nice to meet you.
I'm so happy.
You're you're the artist You're an artist, and this is your album? Yeah, man, and it's 10 dollars.
It's beautiful, man.
This is this is your heart and soul, on this record, right here.
This is this is your art.
Here's the thing, it's it's really my man Sherman's, but I'm I'm on the last song, in the background, doin' the ad lib, like this, take that, take that, whoop-whoop! Ah, okay.
That sounds like fun, but why why aren't you doin' that on your own? To be honest, I been hustlin' for Sherman so long, I ain't had time to do my own thing.
Wow.
Well, it sounds like you're the one being hustled then, right? Right.
Right! That's what I be tryin' to say, man.
It's like, I got this gift, right? And it's like, I talk to God through music, and it's like the sounds of nature flow through my body, and I can record a dove or a pigeon with Auto-tune or just the right amount of reverb.
I got I got my own sound, like, you know, I fuck with the Jamaican shit and the heartbeats, that's that's what I do.
You see what I'm sayin'? Have you shared any of this with Sherman? Not really, no.
This is just my opinion.
I feel like you don't need to waste your time talkin' to two dopes like us.
You should talk to Sherman, man.
And you should tell Sherman how you feel and what you wanna make.
And you follow your art, all the way through.
And we will buy that album.
Thank you.
Hey, Sherman! That was amazing.
I'm not good with conflict.
This is what it is, brother.
This world craves harmony.
And that's what we're here to do, restore that balance, every single day.
When I was a kid, if I asked my mom for hot dogs, she'd make me four.
That was a serving when I was a child.
I'd say, Mom, I want a hot dog, she'd make half the pack.
Did you have a brother that ate the other four? I think my brother was He had two.
It was like, Pete wants hot dogs? Uh, double double that.
- She loved you.
- Yeah.
So this is it? This is what you do, this is your day? What is time, anyway? Is it just the rate at which one rock hurls itself around another rock in space? And if so, why do people call me late for a rock race? Oops, sorry.
- Sorry! - Oh.
Shit.
Hey.
That's all right.
- Sorry about that.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Mind if I? Sure.

- Who Yeah.
Who is that for? [LAUGHTER.]
Who is drinking Red Bull like, "Yeah, it's pretty strong, but they could kick this up two and a half more times.
" 'Cause I don't have paranoia and diarrhea immediately.

Really? I thought, maybe a man of science, you just, thought it was a fairy tale.
I don't see science and faith as opposing forces at all.
See, for me, it's all about vocabulary.
Think about that little speck of mass that erupted into the big bang.
Do you call it "the singularity" or do you call it "God"? You know? I don't see much of a difference.
