All language subtitles for Islanders.2022

[man narrating] Hidden spring...

one trail leads
into a secret glen

Carpeted with
the fern-like flames

of brown cedar leafings.

A time-layered tapestry
as textured

as Pollock'sLavender Mist.

Undisturbed
as a mosaic memorial.

Four quadrant,
seasonal, a sunflower sea.

A pool of
stone-filtered water

gathers into an eye,

focusing cedar branches
on a tall sky.

Two trails wander off
into wind-charged woods

somewhere on Mackinac Island.

[music playing indistinctly]

[Jane] Being able to be filmed,

intentionally filmed
and know that I'm filmed,

this has been a practice

in how comfortable actually
are you in yourself.

# Hey... #

It's not that I feel like

I have to have
all the confidence in the world,

but just enough to be like,
"You know what?

I'm okay like this."

And my reactions
are what they are.

And that it's--
It's okay to be in the moment,

especially when creating,

because you guys
aren't filming us constantly.

But when we're creating,

it is there and it always
elevates the experience.

It kind of feels like, we're--
Oh, my gosh.

I didn't even think about this.

It feels it feels like
we're on stage.

-[cheering and applause]
-Thank you. We're thankful.

[pop music plays]

# How long was I sleeping
I sleeping, I sleeping... #

# How long was I sleeping?

# Was I dreaming?

# Am I alone?

# Who's on my team?

# How long was I sleeping?

# Was I dreaming?

# Am I alone?

# Who's on my team?

[male reporter on radio]
Currently, we're experiencing

winds of sufficient force
in the Straits area...

...to issue a warning to all
motorists; reduce your speed

to a maximum
of 20 miles per hour.

[Jane] Finkel is my maiden name,
so I took Spencer

and then the band took
my maiden name.

It is a Jewish last name.

It means diamond and shiny.

Peddler, too, right?
Didn't your dad...

Yeah, shiny diamond peddler.

[laughter]

-[Jane] These guys are so cute.
-[men shouting indistinctly]

-[man 1 groans]
-[man 2 speaks indistinctly]

[Brian] If you're just
like a free climber,

that is definitely boulder-able.

And I'm decidedly not that.

Uh-huh.

[engine sputtering]

[Jane] We are
on Mackinac Island.

[Brian] This is Jane's hometown.

[Jane] It is an island
without cars,

bikes and horses in the summer
and snowmobiles in the winter.

It's a haven and also a hell

if you don't like
moving your own body

and everything that you own
around by yourself.

[Jane laughs]

[engine running]

[Brian] For tonight, I noticed

are people interested in--

Are you interested
in drinking more beer?

Are you interested
in drinking more beer?

We have that--that whiskey.
But we have one, bub.

[man 1] I mean, it's going
to be a rare occasion

you find me saying
I'm not interested.

And it's a studio session night,

so I feel like we kind of
just need to restock.

[man 1] Let's do it.

[Brian singing]
There we go, dear.

-How's Lola? [laughs]
-[man 1] Yeah, how was that?

[Brian humming]

[engine running]

I might even
just throw this hat in my pants.

Hold on.

[snowmobile passing by]

[man playing electronic music
on Omnichord]

Oh, and this thing
mutes it when you--

[continues playing music]

Which can be fun.

I wish it had a fart button.

That'd be cool.

This is a classy machine.

There's no fart.

I don't know why those
are mutually exclusive.

[electronic pop music playing
on Omnichord]

[Brian] So I do like
the lyrics, though.

Would you--

[chuckles]

[man 1] I don't think that's.

I like. I like the term hooch.

I'll fight for "hooch run."

I think I want to fight
for "hooch run."

Okay.

You won.

Success.

As we finish these songs,

we're going to be collecting
sound samples, right?

-So I guess my thought is...
-We'll see where it should fit.

Yeah, we have our songs
and then we can hear,

like, what would sound
fucking sick in "I Am Machine."

-I was just--
-You know what

would sound so cool with this?

-Let's hit this stick.
-[coughs]

-[Brian plays the music]
-[Jane humming]

# I was a big star

# Oh, yeah! You thought
I was a big star! #

[music stops]

Are you saying,
"I want a piece of pizza?"

I said you thought it was--

[singing]
# I want a piece of pizza!

# Ooh! I Am Machine

-Ready?
-[vocalizing] Yeah!

[vocalizing]

[pop music playing on stereo]

[Brian] We're going to get
to see Aunt Pam.

You look nice.

Wow.

[Jane] Hi! Hi!

-Oh, my gosh! Look at you.
-Your mom's dress.

[Jane] I know. You look just...

-Oh, hi, honey.
-[Brian] Hi. How are you?

-[Brian smooches]
-[chuckles]

-Hi, Pammy.
-[chuckles]

[Brian] Our stockings
always came last.

-[Pam] Really?
-[Brian] Yeah.

Ooh! This is my color, Mom.

I know. It just
gonna look like you.

This is my color.

You can just like...
[speaks indistinctly]

I really think it's wool,
and it's gigantic.

As with everything I give you,

and my feelings won't be hurt
if you're like, "That's great."

-But I don't really want it.
-[all vocalizing]

I wouldn't call this...

Jazz.

-[all laugh hysterically]
-It's not like a jazz thing.

-[Brian] It's a little jazzy.
-Yeah.

[whoopee cushion
makes fart noise]

[all laugh hysterically]

Oh, you all think that's real
funny, don't you?

[laughing continues]

I haven't done Whoopee cushions.

-In a minute.
-In a minute.

-In a hot second.
-[Jane] Whoopee!

[sighs]

Well, anyhow, I'm sorry.
I don't have game for us?

We don't need a game.

We can play games any old time.

[all laughing]

Go.

[laughing continues]

-[grunts]
-[playing music on synthesizer]

-[Jane] He's like, "I didn't."
-[man laughs]

-Do the...
-Dick, left to right.

[all laugh hysterically]

[beating lightly]

[strumming]

[man narrating]
Big moon over [indistinct] Bay.

The black island silhouettes
against the lush black sky,

cousin, but calmer
to Van Gogh's Starry Night.

The lake is rounded
by stillness.

My kayak fitted
to its undulate surface.

The moon's light penetrates
full fathom five

into a domain where a hulking
trout prowls the shallows

shadowed by his own
sharp-tailed shape.

I balance on the dark water.

My head encompassed
by the sky.

Okay. [sighs]

[indistinct]

I think I'm going
to record this.

Perfect. [chuckles]

It was really surprising when I
went and studied music.

It seemed like it was kind of
coming out of nowhere.

I didn't want to
pronounce myself a musician.

I like to make movies
and I like to make--

do photo shoots and make art.

[Pam] Yeah, this long white pine
stuff is very fragrant.

[Jane] This one doesn't smell
like much.

[Pam] It's good enough
if I heat it up in oil--

It will express.

And my parents are creators,
so it seems like a thing to do,

just like playing checkers or...

tag or anything else.

-[Brian slams twice]
-[thud echoes]

[low-pitched thud]

[low-pitched thud
with a crackle]

I think that one's
going to be very good.

I still have an issue
painting myself,

into one specific box

and it's kind of silly to say
at this point,

but sometimes I don't even...
think of myself as a musician.

When I meet somebody else who
seems like more of a musician,

I'm like, "Well, I'm
kind of a musician,

but I'm not like them."

That's how I feel about
a lot of my disciplines is

it's kind of-- it's kind of
damning when you're like,

"I'm a jazz musician,
or I'm a pop musician,

or I'm a very specific
kind of thing,"

but that's just me.

I just don't want to be--
I really don't like being...

confined, in general.

This is Alice, a good girl.

The Lilac Queen.

[chuckles] 2008.

This is one of my pieces that I
drew when I was a little little.

I was a happy kid.
I liked being a kid.

Oh, my gosh.
Look at that family picture.

Dad, what about this?

This is...

something that was not my idea,

but other people had
when I was growing up,

and I always thought
it was a great thing.

And you would measure the...

people and put the date.

So it's a record of them
being here

and their heights
and you have an official knife.

It doesn't have to be accurate,
but this idea--

Oh, you're using
a different knife.

No, this is the--

No, it's the one
with the flat top.

Just-- I thought this was
the psycho-looking one.

Well, maybe I haven't
done it in a while.

And then the line is drawn here.

Yes. This is when I was--
That was my very first line

when I was this tall.
[laughs]

-[Lee] No, it's an estimate.
-[Brian] Yeah... [laughs]

[Lee]
These rear pilot house ones.

One is the Edwin H. Gott,

which was the first
thousand-footer I saw up close,

and close enough that I
could throw a chunk of ice

and hit the side of the boat.

That was pretty darn cool.

-And, probably, discuss art.
-[chuckles]

Jane, how old were you
in that picture?

I don't know.

You'd be a better judge than I.

Eight. Maybe seven.

Here-- Here is
your flying devices.

[Lee] Yep.
Those are all the cheap drones.

I would get one every year.

And these are helicopters.

-[drone whirring]
-[Jane] Well, there you go.

Coming to you, Brian.

-[squeals in fear, laughs]
-[Brian] It didn't get you.

[Jane] It's coming for you.
Watch out. He'll get you.

Brian, come here real quick.

[clinking]

Do you like that?

Yeah. All right, let's do it.
Let's give it three silent...

-No, just do the stick--
-[laughs]

It's a stick against can
on a stick.

-[taps softly]
-[soft clinks]

[taps hard]

[mouthing] Soft.

[taps softly]

-I like the soft.
-That's great.

# Come, my lady
In the mountain #

# Of Mackinac Island

# Come, my lady

# Of the mountain
To Mackinac Island #

Ting-tong! [giggles]

-Well, look at that stick.
-Here's another one.

-Here, hold this.
-Look at that magical stick.

What in the world?
Somebody took care of this.

Check this out.

All right.
I'm going to hit this.

Stick on Partridge Trail.

Sign. Old sign.

[click]

[click]

[muffled click]

Ambient nature sound,

wind through dried leaves.

Stick perpendicular

against a rock. Jane's...
[indistinct]

[Jane] Wow.

[water running]

[man narrating]
The moss crusted tree trunk

probably a maple

has for 20 years been
turning itself into Earth

One day, it towered
amongst towering trees

and the next
it was knocked over

twisted, flattened, and pinned

by a tornado
that lumbered through

on a tight trail of demolition.

Look at this tiny tree
growing out of this big tree.

Whoa!

-Hey, little buddy.
-[crow cawing]

[Jane clicks tongue]

Am I good?

I am just going to keep it
rolling for the moment.

[low-pitched clink]

You're fucking deadeye.

-I know! [laughs]
-How are you doing that?

To me, I'm just kind of flying
by the seat of my pants, but,

um, like, that can turn
into a transition.

It can be, uh,

you know, time warped to change,
can be arpeggiated.

Probably not that one.
That would be really annoying.

Even if we don't even use any of
the samples that we collect,

where our-- our ears are tuned
in a different way and-- and it

gets into all of our creativity
and everything that we do.

It's pretty frozen.

What if the waves were a piano?
What would that sound like?

Or what if the waves
are just the waves

and just listen to those?

And being here
and allowing everything

to be a point of inspiration

and not just to be
a part of a day,

allows it to seep into
every part of the creation.

[speaking indistinctly]

[plane passing overhead]

[speaking indistinctly]

# You tryin' to hold me back

# 'Cause you're movin'
Out of town now #

# We got to take it

# 'Cause you're movin'
Out of town now #

# Waiting for...

-[Brian] Hey!
-[Jane] Hi, neighbor.

-[Ron] Welcome back.
-[Brian] Ah, thank you.

What a beauty. This is
just so frickin' fantastic.

[Brian] You brought
the weather with you.

# ...movin' out of town now

[Ron] Were you able to get
some music stuff down?

-[Brian] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-[Jane] A lot.

We have about ten songs done.

[Brian] Ten songs and collected
sound samples on Monday.

[Jane singing indistinctly]

-[Brian] No, it's perfect.
-Okay, okay.

It goes in so well.

This is so similar.

...sounds kind of
unique, you know?

-[Brian] Yeah.
-[Jane] Good unique.

[Ron] Good unique.

-[Brian] Well--
-Like this, you know,

that is unique.

-Unique.
-[all laugh]

And then it would fall
under the bridge.

Right here. And then you're
doing the super chorus.

Okay, we have a good,
run back for tonight.

-I got to get ready for this.
-I am holding--

Yeah. He has to go to a meeting.
[laughs]

You killed this song today
in the good way.

-[Brian] Yeah.
-[Jane] Damn. Look at this guy.

[Brian] Ooh!

Fist!

# I know

# I know, baby
It's time I... #

# Yes, you do

# I know

[Jane] I think music
is the most fun

when it flows freely
from something

that's probably not even you.
It feels bigger than you.

It just comes right out.

And you're able to quiet
yourself down here enough

to actually hear what nature

and what-- what the world,
and what yourself,

and what your people
are trying to say.

# We...

# Imma take you home with me

[Jane] I think he does.
Do you want that thing?

# Shorty, what do you
Think about that? #

All right. Here we go.

[Brian] Let's do it.

# Never in my life have
I seen so much purpose #

# Never [indistinct]

# Never in my life have
I seen so much purpose #

[Brian] This is going to
be in every mega-church

-across the country.
-I know.

-That's what it sounds like.
-[laughter]

That's what it sounds like.

I know. And I say purpose.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[rewind button clicks]

Hello, I'm Jane Finkel.

We are in my room
and I'm going--

And I was-- And-- Oh.

[Jane] Oh, you'll love it.

# Chin up

# Eyes closed
In the snow globe #

# In the snow globe

[Jane] A career
in the arts and music,

it feels like it's constantly
delegitimized,

even though it's constantly
being devoured.

# Snow globe

[Jane] I mean, I understand

it's coming from
a point of curiosity,

but people ask me regularly
how much I make.

[man 1] People ask you that?

[Jane] Yes, they absolutely do.
[scoffs]

Which I understand,
because it's like, what--

How the hell
could you make money

at this is kind of
the feeling.

And it's also the feeling
from our end.

[laughs]

And anytime something's fun...

[man 1] This is the montage

[Jane] People would prefer that
you did it for them for free.

[Jane blowing a raspberry]

[Brian] My plan
from the jump was, "Okay,

keep your artist career going
as long as you can.

You're going to need to find
a way to afford to do that

because no one's
going to pay you.

[Jane] What?

I--

What's wrong?

I mean, your workload
just blew up.

[laughs] Again.

So you need to find another way
to make that income,

but then also simultaneously
not be a waste of time

to the greater picture
which is pursuing your art.

Well, what are the chords here?
[strums]

[soul music playing on stereo]

I feel like you would sing this.
Keep going.

# Chin up

- # Eyes closed
-[Brian vocalizing]

'Cause I could play something
vocally below there.

-And then it goes like...
-[Jane vocalizing]

# Chin up

# Eyes closed
In the snow globe #

You know, I'm going to go
take a hit real quick.

[sighs deeply]

[Jane singing]
# Chin up

# Eyes closed
In the snow globe #

Yes.

Yup.

# Chin up

Oh, God, it's good. Let's get--
I'll just come in.

[Jane] Come on in.

Let's get that harmony
because that's too good.

# Eyes closed

# We'll meet again
My fallen friend #

- # In the snow globe
- # My place where it's sunny

We want to ask you guys.
What do you think

that we should write a song
about Mackinac--

-Riding snowmobiles.
-Yeah.

-Wherever you want to go.
-Getting out at night,

especially in the winter time,
embrace the darkness.

We're also collecting sounds
and turning them into music.

-Like, a snowmobile...
-Brap?

-Brap.
-Brap.

-[Brian] Brap?
-Brap.

-B-R-A-P?
-Yeah. B-R-A-P.

-Use as many a's as you want.
-Yeah, a couple of a's.

Though, like, four or five a's.

Depends on how hard
you brapping it.

-B-R-A-A-A-A-P.
-Brap. [laughs]

-What's brap?
-It's the throttle.

If you've got a really annoying
snowmobile,

-you're just going to punch it.
-[engine sputtering]

-[Darcy] And the result is brap.
-[engine running]

-[Brian] Hi.
-Hi.

How you doing?

This is warm out for us
this time of year.

-Honestly.
-[Brian] No kidding!

Well, I mean, it doesn't
look like there's any chance

-of an ice ridge this year.
-No.

The kind of Islander saying is,
"It steams seven times."

We've only had
two steams this year.

The water, when it's warm
and the air is cold,

you'll see steam
coming off of the water

and you'll see it seven times
before it freezes over.

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Darcy] I found myself
every once in a while,

kind of going back to, like,
some of the old hangouts.

We're going to go
to White Elephant tomorrow.

I don't if you guys know
about--

Like, it's got trails,
fallen down trees

that just looks like
an open elephant mouth.

Oh! That's where
the old waterspout

went up and it took out
all the trees up there.

Oh, that's how that happened?

[Brian] We call it the place
that's always sunny.

The reason that we call it
White Elephant was that--

We'd go up there and smoke.

-It looks like a white elephant.
-But also the down the tree,

there's like a tree that--

It's a U or like an L
or something.

[Jane] We can't
show people where it is.

Can't know
where it is.

-[Maggie] Oh, yeah.
-[Adrienne] The trail's obscure.

# Call up

# All the numbers

# You know

# By heart

# Breathe in

# Cold nostalgia

# Flip it on its head

[Jane] They made a roof.

[Maggie] Somebody else saw this.

This is the elephant--

[Brian] Somebody
really took it up.

We didn't have this roof on.

Well!

May as well take a seat.

# Up to all the good

# Punchlines in the woods

- # In the woods
- # You are all I need

# We'll meet again
My fallen friend #

#In my place where it's sunny

[Jane] Ooh!

The drama.

The thing that I don't like
about these things

is how much
they look like clothing.

I really wish that they
were like pillowcases

or something of the sort.

[Brian] And the
other thing that--

that Robert said
that I don't know

if we have something
like this already,

but this is-- this is... home.

[Jane] Mm-hmm.

So we could also potentially
start a song...

with the concept of...

home.

What I think would be nice
for a track about home,

is to start with a bass note

that's held out

and it stays that same note
for the whole song.

-[humming]
-We'll start?

So what about any--

any true or false
Mackinac stories?

There's no
false Mackinac stories.

Yeah, but there aren't
any true stories either.

-[Robert] All right.
-[laughter]

[Jane] Did anything ghostly
ever happen to you?

[Darcy exhales deeply]

I think so.

You're working in these old,
like, buildings for so long.

[Robert] Yeah, that's
something else there.

-[Darcy] There's a presence.
-It's kind of wherever you go.

[Jane vocalizing]

[engine running]

[vocalizing continues
in background]

[Philip] That's the theater,
built in 1955.

By a group of religious
political activists.

[Brian] Right.

Basically, they produced
propaganda movies

-for their organization.
-[Brian] Ah.

Hey, Jane,
I just read this booklet,

Ideology and Co-Existence.

They clued me in on
what's going on in the world

and what we can do about it.

You'll get it in the mail.
It's the greatest.

There's a ton of old equipment,

all throughout the building
like this.

But, like, it's one of
those things that--

We just had to get
a new bulb for it,

which was kind of hard to find
on eBay, but it works fine.

A lot of those things
were built to last,

-and, you know...
-[Brian] Yeah.

[Philip] ...it may be 60 years
old, but it still works.

[Brian] I don't know
what a ghost light is.

Don't disturb it.

You don't need to know
what it is.

We're gonna get jazzed!
Ah!

[squeals, grunts]

[Jane] Yeah, yeah.
We got wind howl on this.

[Brian] Experienced
any ghosts here?

I've heard too many
horror stories

about going out
and looking for 'em

if they happened to be true
and they be around,

I don't want to take
that chance. [chuckles]

Whoa.

Oh, my gosh.

-Yeah, buddy.
-Do one note.

[sings] # Yeah!

[voice echoes]

[Brian vocalizing like a static]

[haunting vocals]

[haunting vocals
play on recorder]

[chuckles lightly]

[laughter]

-There's a ghost in the place.
-[Brian] That's good.

That's good.
That's weird.

-I hate that for a little or--
-[Jane blows a raspberry]

Oh, no, that's just
how it loops back in.

Hmm. Yep. I'm seeing it.

[Maggie] How about a little
bourbon and coke?

-[Jane] All right!
-[Brian] Yeah.

-[Maggie] Much to celebrate.
-[Jane] Ooh, la, la!

[Maggie speaking indistinctly]

[Jane] Hey, we're going
on a ghost hunt.

You know, you're just walking
around with your eyes wide open,

ears wide open, just waiting
for something to happen.

When I was riding by
Marquette Park one time,

right in front of the park,

I heard someone say directly in
my ear while I was on my bike,

"Jane!" And then
it said something.

I remember it
just being a statement,

and I remember being
so freaked out by it

and thinking
maybe I was a little cuckoo.

-I didn't say anything.
-[crow cawing]

That was the crow.
Did you guys hear that?

-[man 1] Yeah. Right.
-That was it.

[crow cawing
playing on recorder]

[Jane] I think he thinks
it's in the headphones

but we can also hear it.
That's okay.

-That's where it comes in.
-Yeah, that's where it comes in.

That's why it's so right.

I think it sounded very good.

# You won't know home
Until you taste #

#What it's like to never rest

# How do you find peace

# When you are at war
With yourself #

# Before you find home

# You'll find something else

[Jane speaking indistinctly]

Singer.

Hi. My name is J.Lo.
I'm a singer.

[chuckles]

[Jennifer Lopez singing on TV]
# America!

# America!

# God shed his grace on thee

[Joe Biden on TV]
A once-in-a-century virus

silently stalks the country.

Growing inequity.

The sting of systemic racism.

A climate in crisis.

[Jane] Oh, that's
our album cover

because Mom painted it.

So she painted it from that.

[Pam] You know,
so there are all manner of

patterned papers.

I mean, they're kind of--
They're not perfect. [laughs]

-But I don't care.
-[Brian] What makes

a perfect collage?

Well, I guess in the sense
of papercutting,

like in the Japanese sense.

[laughs] You know, they're
not, like, pristine like that.

And I sort of like making the
buildings directly into faces

because I've always
seen buildings that way.

The buildings have faces.
They're like ours.

[Jane] Mm-hmm.

[Pam] And I like locking
into a perception

where I'm seeing them.

It makes me feel
the presence of stuff.

And that's the greatest feeling
in the world,

is when you're just, like,

thinking about it later.

[Jane] Yeah.

I will say that about
my art.

-I like my art.
-[Jane and Pam laugh]

And I made it look
exactly the way I want it.

-[Brian] Yeah.
-So, of course, I like it.

Do you still paint
with watercolor?

Yeah. I've been doing
a lot of little ones.

These little ones are so great.

[Pam] They're little
jewel-like paintings.

[Jane] It is so hard
to watercolor.

[Pam] I don't do it
the traditional way.

Oh. What do I do
the traditional... Is it right?

It's what I have to say
to you guys, Jane.

It's like go straight for it.
You'll make a lot.

You know,
stop wasting your time.

I should have done this
years ago.

I'm always going for
an emotional hit.

That's what I'm going for
with an image.

And it's color-emotion too.

Color creates the emotional--
It's kind of, like, pretty.

You know, pretty as a put-down
fun as a put-down.

It's like, "Uh-uh.
That's for the juices."

[Jane] Mm-hmm.

That's when you know
you're on the track,

when you're seeing
something sparkle at you

and-- and you're looking
forward to it.

That's your life, you know?

You want to cultivate
that feeling.

We used a lot of markers
and stuff.

-We didn't even have erasers.
-[Jane] You wouldn't let us.

[indistinct]
These are cool.

-Cool! Oh, Craig looks great.
-[Brian] There you are.

[Pam] I was trying to work
on likeness,

and I'm also trying
to work on fabric.

You know,
where there's this glass.

-I like--
-[laughter]

[conversation fades
into the background]

[crackling]

[man narrating]
Incredulity has its cost.

At Mackinac, we can see
the rain coming from afar

and still we get soaked.

[airplane engine whirring]

[Brian] Fuck. Okay.

All right.

We can figure this out.

[grunts]

[grunting continues]

Let's go up the hill,

see if Ronnie Kelly has any gas.

Even if they don't,
if they have a tank...

Shit.

That gas gauge has not been
moving a whole lot.

[gasping]

I must ask you
a neighborly question.

I'm trying to-- I was wondering
if you had a gas tank at all.

Uh, we-- Let me see
if we even have some gas here.

I don't know. Hey, Ronnie.

-Ron.
-[Ron] Yeah?

Come on out and help.
We need to be neighborly.

-We need some gas.
-[laughter]

[Ron] Oh, just a minute here.
What do we got going?

-[Kelly] They ran out of gas.
-Uh-oh.

[Brian] We ran out of gas like
total moron.

-Where at?
-[Brian] Uh...

I forget the name of the trail,

-but it's the trail behind us...
-[Kelly] Is it Forest Way?

[Ron] You got lucky, gentlemen.

[Brian] Oh, my gosh.

[Ron] There-- This is what
we use for the lawnmower.

Anyway.

There's probably a gallon
and a half in there,

so that should get you here

and then get you
downtown tomorrow at the

boat dock.
It's gotten colder, though.

-I'm like, Yeah!
-[Brian] It's chilly.

Now this is the snappy stuff
I was talking about.

-[Brian] Exactly. [laughs]
-Whoo!

Boy!

Talk about life savers.

[Mary] We can get cranky
with each other

and tell long made-up stories
about each other,

but we always have
each other's back.

So it's a family like any other,
probably dysfunctional family.

[Philip] There's a Facebook page
that's just for residents.

People will post, you know,

"I lost my glove
on the way home.

If anybody sees it,
can you let me know?"

And, like, invariably,

somebody would be like, "Oh,
is this your glove?" [laughs]

[engine running]

[engine stops]

-[Jane] They love a character.
-[Brian] Right.

If you're a character,
and you can hold your own

and you don't complain
a whole lot.

[engine runs and then stops]

-[Brian] Getting closer.
-[engine running]

[Jane] Because you just have
to haul your own shit.

You have to do
all your own stuff.

-[engine running]
-[Brian] Come on, baby!

It's just part of living here.

[engine stops]

-Success!
-[Jane] It worked! Yeah!

-It worked!
-[Jane squeals in excitement]

[laughing]
Just another adventure.

[Jane] Just another day
on Mackinac Island.

-[Jane laughs]
-Yeah.

-[Brian chuckles]
-[Jane] Hey, hey...

People come here
year-round to visit.

They come for a day or a weekend
or something like that.

And it's tens
of thousands of people.

And there's a few hundred
people who actually live here.

And as a way to maintain
a distinctive identity,

you know, they--
they just go the extra mile

just so that they don't get lost

in the sea of humanity

that comes here
mostly in the summertime.

But now, you know,
increasingly in the wintertime.

[pop music playing on Omnichord]

[Brian] I love that.

[pop music continues playing
on stereo]

[Jane] Makes it
a little sassier.

[Trish] Well, this summer,
we were having

some Black Lives Matter
protests here.

There were some rather
strange letters to the editor

from the visitors

who said, "They shouldn't
have this on Mackinac Island."

And I thought,
you know, we live here.

We are a town.
It's not like Disneyland.

And we're all artificial.

We are real people
and we live here.

[Jane] The music venues.

[Brian] All right.

I don't think it was right.

The notes are,
with the guitar, weird.

Let's give her a listen.

[pop music plays on stereo]

You don't like that?

I don't think I do.

-[Jane] What's been going on?
-Yeah. What's happening?

-What's even happening in here--
-Happening...

It's hard to explain,
but the island, it's like,

they resist this new change
around here.

They don't want anything
to be New Style, modern.

They resist
new people coming.

And you almost have
to prove yourself.

And I can't tell you
specifically

it's this that you have to do.

You just have to prove yourself
with them.

-[Brian chuckles]
-Okay. Do you want to do

-the whole thing over?
-Yes.

Okay. Because it
sounded pretty good.

No.

[tapping]

[pop music plays on stereo]

-[chuckles]
-[tapping continues]

Do it right.

[music continues]

No.

[Robert] If you
want to live here,

you got to want to be here.

And so, my dad always says,

"You know, you want
to live on the island,

you got to want to live
on the island."

[Jane] Mm-hmm.

There's shit that sucks up here,
but--

That's everywhere.

Yeah, that's everywhere,
though, right?

-[Jane] Yeah.
-[Brian] It definitely is.

Look out the window.

It's beautiful.

[Brian playing the synthesizer]

[Jane] I like that.

Cool. Yeah, of course.

Of course.
We'll talk later today. Okay.

[Trish] Ten thousand years ago,

the high point of the island
came out of the water

and then it went down 120 feet
lower than it is today,

about 8000 years ago,
and then came back up

to the Bluff area
about 4000 years ago.

So this area has been underwater
for most of its life.

All aboard!

[Craig] Going back, either
hundreds and thousands of years

or from time immemorial,

it's Anishinaabe people,

who are the Indigenous people
of Northern Michigan,

they're kind of the first people
who are here.

There are Indigenous people

coming from all over
the upper Great Lakes.

It's now Wisconsin and Minnesota
up into Canada

to trade with one another,
to fish.

Mackinac Island is central
in a lot of religious beliefs.

So they're also coming here
for ceremonial purposes.

So they're
the first people here.

And then on top of that,

you kind of layer other groups.

They form this blended culture
that is different

from what you would find
in a lot of other places.

And those are
still apparent today.

You still see traces of
French-Canadian culture,

British culture, and, of course,

the Anishinaabe culture
is still here, running

kind of in tandem
with American culture.

# The island has my heart
And that's why I can't leave #

[speaking indistinctly]

-[Brian] I love this snow.
-It'll be so pretty on the boat.

# And it's coming for you

# The island has my heart
And that's why I can't leave #

-[ticket checker] Good morning.
-[Brian] Good morning.

# And it's coming for you

[PA] We've about a 40 minute
trip back over

to St. Ignace today.

Face masks or coverings
are required to be worn

and worn properly for
the duration of the trip.

Sit back, relax and enjoy
the ride here today.

[announcement continues
indistinctly]

# The island has my heart
And that's why I can't leave #

# And it's coming for you

[waves crashing]

# The island has my heart

# And it's coming for you

[Brian] Donny!

Hola. Como esta?

So what's the plan?

[Brian vocalizing] All right.
Singing this real...

[indistinct]

[electronic music playing]

This contains multiple sounds,
pre-set files, demo sequences,

[Jane singing]
#You might change on your own

# Maybe, darlin', I don't...

- # I can be...
-What?

[electronic music plays]

[Brian singing indistinctly]

[music continues]

[drummer tapping
the drum lightly]

[off-key piano music]

[muffled music]

[man narrating] Moon-faced,
in the middle of the afternoon,

there is a half pale moon

hung over the western blue sky.

So different from its
scintillating earlier phase...

[Jane] I'm really tired.

[man narrating]
...waning I fancy

from inebriated all-nighters.

[Jane] Are we live right now?

We are live. Hello.

Last night,
we stayed up really late

and played music until
the wee hours of the night.

-[Brian] Wee!
-And we're exhausted.

We just played music

until our hearts couldn't
take it anymore.

And I convinced myself I'm
now a guitar player. [chuckles]

[strumming]

If you're just joining

we're writing music.

This is a Saturday ritual
for the past two months,

before we've been
on Mackinac Island.

And we want you to be
a part of it. So, welcome.

[electronic music
plays on stereo]

[Brian speaking indistinctly]

Yeah, I like something pop.

[Brian vocalizing]

I feel like...

[Jane vocalizing]

[Jane singing indistinctly]

# Baby!

- # Do you get it?
-[Brian chuckles]

- # Look, there's a note
-All right, sure.

Oh, shoot. Should I--

-I should record that.
-You got to track the--

Yeah, I know. Jeez!

Can you make this
an acoustic guitar?

-An acoustic guitar?
-Yeah.

[Jane] I'm doing
all my guitar tracks.

[Brian] I know.
Start from scratch.

-I'm serious.
-Start from scratch?

I think everything that we did
for the last hour has been...

less than fruitful

-but worthwhile.
-[laughs] I knew you'd say it.

-Hard work cause pays off.
-Because...

Yes.

-Because this sounds very cool.
-[chuckles]

This sounds like it's--
We're going--

-[Jane laughs]
-[strumming]

Ooh!

That sounds pretty.

I like that. What do you--
What do you say?

Yeah, I almost feel like

it needs to just be that
for the intro.

Let-- Let's record it first
and then put it in there.

-All right, here you go.
-[gasps]

Do you want a Snickers?
Does anyone want Snickers?

-[laughter]
-Let's try again.

[pop music playing on stereo]

I'm telling you,

I think we're going to have
something from this tonight.

Yeah, I'm-- I'm-- I'm not--
I'm not done with this.

[wind howling]

[Trish] A friend of my
mom's once said,

"You know, in the summer, the
island belongs to the tourists,

but in the winter,
it's all ours."

It's the winter

where you actually
do things with people.

You go to potlucks
or games nights or,

you know, pick-up games down
in the school.

-[Brian] Got it.
-[boy 1] Rules are rules.

# Been on my feet
On the way to me peace #

# Can't get there fast enough
Nobody blink #

-Yeah.
-[puck clinks]

[clang]

-[clink]
-There you go.

Sorry. I said, there you go.
I got it.

-You got to get it.
-[clink]

[man 1] Definitely
a brap machine.

-[Brian] Yeah.
-[Jane chuckles]

They're not quite, though.
It does not have a muffler.

[Jane] I think it
was this machine

that I was on one time.

A police officer pulled up
next to me.

"Do you know
how fast you're going?"

I was like, "I honestly don't.
It's not lit."

I can't see it and it doesn't
light up at night.

Aw. Hey, girl.

-[engine running]
-[Brian cheers]

# I'm awaiting my peace

[Lee] We would go across
the ice, the four of us,

and you would be in front of me

with my--
sitting on the gas tank

with my left arm around you, me,

your brother,
and your mother in the back.

-[Jane] Mm-hmm.
-The four of us on

a two-up machine.

Oh, my God.

[man 1] I mean, it is scary.
I mean, you don't--

I've only gone over by myself
one time,

and I wouldn't do that again.

You got on the middle of it
and you think you're fine.

And then you start thinking
about where you are...

-[Brian] Right.
-And then you, like,

start having a meltdown.

[Brian] A mile and
a half from shore

-on top of 200 feet of water.
-Yup.

Have you ever
done the ice bridge?

I have not.

Nope. Into-- The plane's okay.

I don't do it as regularly.

I have friends
who do it all the time.

I'm when I have to have a reason
to go over.

Like I got a list of things
that I have to pick up,

Weather can
turn up at any time.

I know people that have
gone across in the morning,

where they think it's solid

and by the afternoon, the winds
picked up, blown the bridge off.

Their machines are on one side
and they have to fly back.

It's Mother Nature.

And you have to
learn to respect that.

[dog whimpers]

You don't-- do you agree?

[cranking the engine]

[Brian] This is 01-01-21.

Coined later as "I Am Machine."

Playback session
February, 2021.

-[chuckles]
-[music plays]

-# I am machine
-# I am machine

# You can stop!
You can find... #

# I know, baby
It's time I... #

I got FYW.

[Jane] What does that stand for?

Brian knows, but not this Brian.

I know. What is that?

You'll have to figure out
what I mean by that.

[music plays on stereo]

-All right, this one.
-# Find your way

-FYW.
- # Find your way back home

# The island has my heart
And that's why... #

[groovy, electronic music]

What are you still doing here?
TikTok dance?

Shout-outs to my homie
Connor Stank.

The name is just
Connor Stank.

I named it
after a childhood friend.

-[music plays on stereo]
-[laughs] Just wait.

[Jane laughs]

-[horse neighing on stereo]
-[all laugh]

# ...feels awesome
Making those #

# He says I am loveable

Okay.

That sounds...

-That one is a fave.
-[Jane] Mm-hmm.

Not a super fave, but a fave.

-"Snow Globe..."
-[Jane] Mm-hmm.

...is a fave.

My note on it was,
need a new chorus.

Yeah that's one, two, three.

I start a lot of them.

That's four top fives.

We need to pick one more
for five.

I like "Island Girl."
That's what I--

I wouldn't put that
in my top five.

I want to I, I think that we
should keep it in the mix

and you should
keep working on it,

but I don't think
it's a top five.

I don't think I have
to make it top five.

No one said I had to.

[chuckles] I can't.

I still need to pick a top five.

I don't think
that we have a top five.

I don't have a top five
right now. I can't tell.

This is just order of--
[sighs]

We don't necessarily
have to do top five.

We can just keep it
to the top four.

We need to start
zeroing in on stuff

for the last three Saturdays,

but we'll have
two sessions a week

for the next three weeks
that we can keep

writing new music, and that
top five could very well change.

-[Jane] Yeah.
-You know, tomorrow

That sounds good to me.
Good job, Brian.

[both chuckle]

You guys wanna have any dinner?

# I can carry
All my own shit #

# At least I think I can

[Jane] This place, this
time has given us the clarity

that comes from
being alone outside.

Even if you don't realize it's
speaking to you

and it's calming you.

And I think that's why our music
has gotten so ethereal.

# ...continually crumbling
Into her #

# Original form

[Jane] This is like
the warm embrace

of family being here
and being out in these woods.

[Pam] I know exactly
what you mean.

It's the feeling
of, like, the island, sort of,

has me. You know, it's a great
big piece of limestone

and energy can flow through it
freely and easily.

[Brian] It does slow things down
to be here.

I can get out in nature
much more easily than I can,

you know, when we're
back home in L.A.,

how it impacts
my perception of time.

[Pam chuckles]

[all laugh hysterically]

-[Jane] Okay, dinner's ready.
-Yeah.

Wrap that perception of time up.

[laughing continues]

[man narrating]
Eight thousand years ago,

within the legend links
of tribal man.

The three miles
across the lake now

used to be a narrow river.

Four thousand years
of melt and rain

filled the basin to brim.

Water burying the campsite
by the waterfall.

If you doubt this myth,

try peering into
the depths off midnight

[indistinct] Bay,

you might see profound glimpse
in the depths,

mutating molecules
twisting into light.

Then again, you might not.

[Brian] It's cold out there.

[Jane] It says it feels
like negative seven.

[footsteps scraping over ice]

[wind howling]

[muffled thud]

Sounds hollow.

[crack]

Ooh! It hurts a little

You don't want your scarf?

No, it gets in the way of...

[breathes deeply]

...of this.

[Jane] There it is.

[airplane approaching]

[droning intensifies]

[crumble]

[gasps] Two.

Oh, my God. Three.

I'm actually okay.

Yeah, my fingers are--
my fingers are fine.

My toes are fine.
It's really just my face.

-[sniffles]
-[Jane] Right.

I could wrap this around.

I know I'm-- I'm--
I'm harping on this,

but your face,
I could wrap it up

with this scarf.

-[Brian sniffs]
-You have ice on your face.

You have actual ice
on your face.

-Okay.
-[laughs]

[Jane] There we go.

-[sniffing continues]
-[Jane] You look great.

[airplane approaching]

-Great. Great.
-That was a great one.

Let's call it, let's go
get some more coffee.

[Jane] I tend to go for designs
a little bit more abstract.

I have to work with a hole
because it has to be a pendant.

And I don't... [sighs]

...want the hole to not be part
of the design

because that feels sloppy.

All okay?

And this is the drill
that I like to use.

We have to make a centerpunch.

Where do you want it?

[clattering]

Okay.

-Put it in.
-Okay.

Okay. Just make sure
you're holding it vertically.

[whirring]

Now-- So, that helps if you're
pushing against something.

So watch it push in, watch...

-[Jane] Mm-hmm.
-...this distance change.

Just coat the blade
with a little bit of beeswax.

[saw rasps]

[Lee] Just light pressure.
Let the tool do the work.

-[Jane] Yeah.
-Or...

you can put a straw
in your mouth and blow.

-That might be a little long.
-[laughs]

-Here. Let's...
-[laughter continues]

-[laughs]
-[rasping]

Listen. You can actually
hear each tooth

cutting away a
little chip of metal.

I know, I like that.

-Very nice work.
-Thanks, Dad.

[rasping continues]

There's not enough metal...

-[rasping]
-[click]

[Jane whispers] Victory.

[music playing on earphones]

[breathes deeply]

[exhales deeply]

[horse neighs on earphones]

Well, hell yeah.

Yeah. Somebody in early
in our career said,

"Are you making music
for yourself,

or are you making it
for other people?"

And you-- you can't really...

[click]

...do both fully.

It's like, "You know what?

People want to sing along
to a chorus that's catchy."

[metal grating]

You can do a ton
of wacky other stuff,

if they can just
sing along to the chorus

and they can remember it
and they like it.

[grating continues]

I think I'm going to get
part of this rounded

from the final polishing.

Yeah, maybe I'll show
Brian real quick.

-[smooches]
-Wow.

-One more call, guys.
-[airplane approaching]

Feel this, B.

[airplane passing overhead]

It's not polished.

I was leaving the-- the centre
cuts more abrupt

and rounding the outside.
See how smooth that feels.

[Lee] Defen--

I don't think--
What is his--

-Last name was Defender.
-His last name is Defender.

All right. Last call.

[Brian] I'm coming to a point
in my career, I think,

where I need to kind
of make a decision.

Do I continue
to pursue this thing

that has been the driving factor

for my entire adult life?

I think I need to at some point,

if we really want to make a run
at this focus on our art.

And that's-- I need to
figure out what that means.

I'm the tired--
I'm the most tired that

I've been potentially
in my entire life.

And I'm ready for that
to be over, I think.

[Lee] Crazy sunset.

[Jane vocalizing]

[Jane] You could
just do it out here.

[strumming the guitar]

# Got a lot to say
Just is not our day #

[singing indistinctly]

[Jane] We have learned how to
and we are continuously learning

how to communicate
with one another

in a way that is
to the point and kind.

And what we've said is our
relationship is our number one

and also our art's shit

if our relationship is not
where it should be.

Can you bring up "Pendulum"
on Spotify?

Yeah.

["Pendulum" playing on stereo]

I miss the hours that I wish

that I was practicing
my instrument,

and practicing
my writing abilities,

and that's what I would
love to do more of.

# Don't feel like chewing
On that right now #

I would love to
get to a point where

I'm not thinking so much
about streams and playlists.

And also have less worries
of, like, rent.

# What happens next

Hit it.

# I've got a list
beyond Atlantis #

[Jane] I remembered
one of our original

benchmarks of the whole thing;

just doing music

we could walk
into a grocery store,

get anything we want,

to walk into a grocery store
and be like, "You know what?"

-Don't worry about it.
-Yeah, don't worry about it.

You want two Gilbey's?

# Will you hold my hand

# When we leave the ground

[Brian] This right now is dope.

Yeah. And that
that's something that

we ask each other off and on,

you know, "If this was it,

this was it, would
you be happy with it?"

-[Brian] Yeah.
-And I absolutely would.

We got a log lit.

-I got a beer in my hand.
-We got a log,

-we got a beer. [laughs]
-A roof over our heads.

-Like, "Man!"
-We're chilling!

-What are we complaining about?
-We're wearing fancy pants!

-Thumbs up for rock and roll.
-[clap]

[engine cranks]

[engine running]

It's silent out here.
You could be a spy.

I actually am a spy

and I have committed
several crimes by now.

[engine cranking audio
plays on stereo]

[engine running audio
plays on stereo]

[music plays on stereo]

That's a good intro.

Hi. Hello. Hello.

Are we friends, a pair,
or siblings?

-We got ringed up.
-[chuckles]

[singing indistinctly]

[airplane passing overhead
audio plays on stereo]

-Yeah, baby!
-Tootsie.

Wowza, wowza!

I am on a TLC show.

But my husband left me
for a plane.

-Sound. A plane sound.
-[man 1 laughs]

You see, we were in a band

and things were
going pretty well.

[scoffs] Little did I know

what was in store.

-[beep]
-[chuckles]

[Brian speaks indistinctly]

[Jane]
Piece of cheese.

[Jane] Cheese?

Love those what?

-Ooh.
-[beep]

I know you love this snack.

[Lee] I like it.

[Jane speaking indistinctly]

This is a part of your work too.

[sighs deeply]

Oh, I am just mad at you...

If you're thinking to just walk
down the whole hill by Michael.

From the year--
many years, many years,

[Pam] Yeah.

[man chuckles]

[Pam speaking indistinctly]

[Lee] I find I don't care.

[Pam] A level of care--

[Pam] Erases
any level of caring.

-it's a good thing.
-[Lee] Right.

Absolutely.

[Lee and Pam
speaking indistinctly]

But sometimes,
you just take some nice shots.

57.

-Oh, yeah. Three minutes.
-I better clean.

[Jane] I know I'm going to...

[Pam speaking indistinctly]

[sighs deeply]

Here's "Pendulum" and I'm
going to be playing it on

what is called an Omnichord.

This is an eighties'
electronic harp.

In my humble opinion,

it is quite badass.

So, here we go.

[pop music playing on Omnichord]

[Brian] I think we all--

we all have that
ability to flip from...

being very happy or sad
and then living the opposite.

We all have that
ability to do it.

We've all done it on this trip.

If you're doing
a performative thing,

you get to have people
watch you do it.

Yeah, I guess
that flip becomes... [sighs]

...a lot more necessary

because I don't want my baggage
to go home with anybody else.

# ...an answer to my problems

# They'll be there
When I want them #

# But right now they're fine

[speaking indistinctly]

-Yeah, look at--
-Yeah, it's...

Yeah, a little chilly.

[indistinct]

# I'm stressed, but good
Doing what I'm loving #

[Brian] When it's
performance-based

and you can actually

let music do
what it's intended to do,

which is heal and make people
think and feel.

He's got it on the ice. Yep.

[Brian] It does that for me.

And that's why I
can't stop doing it.

And that's why I think
both of us can't stop doing it.

It's-- That is a happy place
for the two of us.

It's a-- it's home,
kind of like the island is.

#...through incessant ringing

# Impossible to take sides

[engine cranking]

[Brian exhales deeply]

[engine running]

[Jane] Am I an islander?

So much of the identity
was graduating from the school,

living here year-round.

And your level of commitment
to the place.

I was really toiling over
the idea of, "Am I an islander?

What will it feel like
to be here?

Will it feel like I'm home?"

And I think that my definition
has changed

about what being an islander is,

because I feel
like this landscape

and myself know
each other so well

and so intimately

and I feel cradled by it,
even in the freezing cold.

Ice rock.

[man] Are you an islander?

[chuckles] I care less about
"You're an islander," whatever.

That doesn't matter to me
as long as they're--

they're happy seeing me...

[airplane passing overhead]

Because I used to
consider myself an islander.

And now I don't really
consider myself an islander

and I care so much less.

What the hell does it matter?

Self-identity is such a weird
thing, anyways though.

"What am I?
What am I not?"

When you just are what you do,

and you have probably
the least idea of what you are,

I feel like that's how
I feel about myself.

[Brian] Aye! There's the sun.

[Jane howling]

[Brian] Oh, yeah.

Come on.

Come on. Fucking cut.

-[man] Yeah.
-[Jane] Wow.

Oh, Lord.

It's a little nerve-wracking.

The tourists
take the main trail.

Then there's a little cut-off.
It cuts above.

Cuts off
like a third of the way.

You and I
will be front and back.

[man 2] We'll be ahead of you
if there's any slushy spots

or anything, we'll tell you.

-[Jane] All right.
-[Brian] Great, great, great.

-[man 2] Okay.
-[Hugh] You ready?

[man] Let's do it.

[engines stops]

-[Jane] Go for it.
-Thanks.

[Jane]
One's for the Super Bowl.

[Brian] Thanks.

[indistinct conversation]

[Hugh] We're drinking gauntlets.

[speaking indistinctly]

[man 2] Cheers to
healthy, happy.

-[Jane] Here we are.
-Yeah.

[Jane] Wow.

Yeah, in the spring, it gets
probably canned and pre-frozen.

Then water runs through it.

[engine races]

# I know it's not the end
But it's not the beginning #

# Try not to count the days

# But I have since we landed

[Jane] When we first
had the idea for this,

it was a lot about calming
our hearts and just playing.

[Hugh] You could-- you could
park a truck on here.

[Jane] Before like
everybody else,

we were grinding, but

I was feeling quite lost.

[Brian] When you
are out in L.A.,

when we're grinding
and we're doing

what a lot of musicians
and artists are doing out there,

people are telling you,

"You got to do this to
take your career to this place."

You kind of forget
that you get to make this up.

You get to call the shots.

You get to be the one
that is driving the car.

# If all we have is now
And all I do is count down #

# It slips through my fingers

# If all we have is now

[Jane] A piece of advice that

I would like to
remind myself of is that...

the things that are special,

beautiful, important,

and that you hearken back to
are only that way

because you've decided
that they were.

Otherwise,
it could just be any day.

But choosing to believe that

your life is beautiful
and interesting

is the only thing
that will make it so.

Oh, yeah. I am grateful
for that advice.

-I'll remind you in five years.
-Okay.

# The more I stand still
The more I can say #

# Tomorrow wants to rob today

[man narrating] Triad.

Glowing orange Arcturus
in the west,

burning blue Vega at the top,

giant red Antares in the south.

These three stars
will shine triangulate

in the Mackinac summer sky

the rest of your earthly life.

[Jane laughs]

Gouda!

Yeah! Boom-boom!

[music plays]

# Provolone and gouda
Makes my heart melt-a #

# Give your fondue to me

[vocalizing]

# All of that she says

# Milk, milk, [indistinct]
Chop 'em up, chop 'em up #

# Grilled cheese!

# Cream cheese

# Macaroni and cheese

# Stuffed potatoes...
Loaded ones #

# And cheese sticks,
The pulling kind #

# And cheese little cubes

Yep. Destined for success.
