[voiceover] It was April 3rd, 1980-something, and my sister's stalled music career was about to get a boost.
Guys, I have insane news! We just got the gig of a lifetime. We're playing the Philadelphia freakin' Spectrum!
The Spectrum?
The Flyers Wives have this charity where they throw a whole carnival. And we got picked to be the local band to perform live on stage.
How did this even happen?
Word of mouth, obviously.
For sure. Also, I submitted a demo.
Oh, my God, Geoff. You are seriously the most amazing boyfriend/band member ever.
Me, manager? Really?
You got us our big break, Geoff. You've totally earned it.
Sweet! If there's one thing I know, managing my hot-tempered girlfriend's band could only end well.
Problem. This letter's for you and Lainey.
Yeah, I submitted their demo six months ago.
So now they're only getting two-thirds of the band they want? You suck, and you're fired!
Oh, no! This didn't end well at all!
We are so boned! There's no way they'll ever want us to perform now.
Like, why not? We still totally rock it hard without Lainey.
It's true. The Dropouts still got the goods. I demand you go for it!
Damn it. Our old but re-hired band manager is right. Our rocket ride to superstardom begins now.
You know, I've been dabbling a bit in documentary filmmaking. Maybe I can make a rockumentary about you guys, like U2's Rattle and Hum.
No way, nerd. Oh, wait. Sorry. Force of habit. Yes.
For real?
Our fans will for sure want to know how it all started.
Sweet! You get to perform for carnies and the Flyers' romantic partners, and I get to film it.
I heard "Flyers" and "carnies." I must be a part of whatever this is.
They got a real gig playing The Spectrum.
No, it's none of his business. Just butt out, dude.
Come on! We both know you need my fresh rhymes.
Your garbage rap has no place in a rock band.
So what about when Aerosmith combined their rock with the sick rap stylings of Run-DMC?
Doesn't matter! You're not even in the band.
Oh, I'm in the band!
No, you're not.
I'm in the band.
No, you're not! Stop saying it!
Saying what?
You're in the band.
She said it! Adam's got it on tape!
[Adam puts his thumb up]
It's official! I'm in the band.
