yay, what you do to your hand? Is that from drumming? Yeah, love. Say, how's it going with the studio band? Good, yeah. I think he likes me more now, and his opinion means a lot to you, doesn't it? Yeah. Grab the Shakers, Jimbo. Overcooked, barely true this. He just left, so how's the drumming going, Andy? Yeah, it's going really well. I'm the new core drummer. [Applause] So, did you hear? No, what happened? Drive got named this year's MVP. That's fantastic, Travis. And Dustin is heading up Model UN, soon to be Rhodes Scholar, and who knows what all else. And Jim, Teacher of the Year. I mean, come on, the talent at the T that is stunning. And Andy, with your drumming, it's going okay, Andy? Yeah, I mean, it's going really, really well, actually. I'm part of Schafer Top Jazz Orchestra, which means I'm, it's the best in the country, and I'm a core member, so I'll start playing in competitions and

actually I just found out I'm the youngest person in the entire band. Well, how do you know when's in a music competition? Isn't it subjective? No. Does the studio get your job? No, it's not an actual studio. It's just the name of the ensemble. But yeah, it's a big step forward in my career. Well, I'm so glad you figured it out. It's a nasty business, I am sure. Oh hey, are you going to tell them about your game this week? Living up to your title, scored a 93-year touchdown. School record, school record, school record. That's division three. It's Caron football. It's not even division two. It's division three. Got any friends, Andy? No. Oh, is that... I don't know. I just never really saw the use. Oh, who you can play with otherwise? Lennon McCartney, they were school buddies, am I right? Charlie Parker didn't know anybody until Joe Jones threw a symbol at his head. So, that's your idea of success, huh? I think being the greatest

musician of the 20th century is anybody's idea of success. Dying broke and drunk and full of heroin at the age of 34 is not exactly my idea of success. I'd rather die drunk, broke at 34, and have people at a dinner table talk about me than live to be rich and sober at 90 and nobody remember who I was. Ah, but your friends will remember you, that's the point. None of us were friends with Charlie Parker, that's the point. Travis and Dustin, we have plenty of friends and plenty of purpose. I'm sure they'll make great school board presidents someday. Oh, that's what this is all about. You think you're better than us. Catch on quick, you going model you in. I got to reply for you, Andrew. You think Carlton football is a joke? Come play with us. Four words you will never hear from the NFL: Who wants dessert? and from Lincoln Center. [Music]
