but they're shot.

They're not gonna draw us any extra people.

-Yeah, no, I know, but now

we have a relationship with the agent.

And, dude, she represents all our favorite bands.

The Relentless is on her roster.

[chuckles]

-And that's why you're the business guy.

-I'm telling you, man. Cheers to that, right?

-Woohoo! -Let's do it.

-Even I know her agency.

Hey, just relax, it's one beer.

Hey, and who bought these anyway?

[music playing on TV]

-Okay, let me call you back, they're going on, they're going on.

-Hey, now, what's up? It's Jose Mangin, Sirius XM Octane,

please welcome to the airwaves Lily, Vic and Leo

from The Relentless. -Yeah.

-What's up? Good to see you, my friends.

Congratulations on the huge success

of the first album, the tour, the world domination.

We're so proud of you, but we've had your back since the beginning.

-Yeah. -And you know that, man.

And Lily, our 15 year old daughter

started playing the bass guitar because of you.

You're doing an awesome job. Keep inspiring, girl.

-[chuckle] Oh, my goodness. Thank you.

-Of course. No, you're welcome.

So we're here to make a world debut

of a new song from The Relentless

called "Forgive Me, Mother."

So you guys wrote and recorded

this new song before you went on hiatus.

Tell us a bit about it.

-Okay, this is gonna be your castle. Okay?

But this, I don't know what this if for.

-[metal clattering] -I think this is a mosquito net.

Oh-- Oh.

[beeping]

Calling Mars. [buzzing]

[growling] Woo!

-LEO: Like, when you're on tour, you see the world

from a road through a bus window. You know?

I mean, not really experiencing

the cities you're in every day,

so you sort of slip into this vicious cycle

where you wake up, you get on stage,

you get off stage and you rage

far more than anyone has any business doing.

Then you recover, and the cycle sort of repeats itself,

all the while, you don't even realize how fast time's flying by,

because you're just out there thinking, well,

-these moments are never gonna end. You know? -Yep.

-But let's be real.

The-- the time that you enjoy wasting,

it's not wasted time.

-This-- There should be holes.

I don't know how to read directions.

Never could.

This is--

[imitates engine revving]

-Just gotta stray away from being clichéd degenerate

fuckin' rock guys, you know?

In shorter words, we need to grow up a little

and appreciate more. You know?

-Yeah.

-[crying] -I got ya.

Oh--[babbling] -[crying continues]

-Do you need to be changed? -JOSE: All right, well,

let's change direction and talk about lyrics.

-[crying] -Look at this.

Oh, is this your fanny? -[crying]

-No. Help.

-JOSE: ...with this next new song that we're gonna debut.

"Forgive me, Mother, for I have sinned,

by being what my father's always been."

Now, is that Johnny being metaphorical

about not being present in the moment,

or is there something more to the lyrics?

-You know, I think that's, uh-- that's a question for Johnny.

-Yeah. -All right, I'll ask him,

you know, maybe next time I see him.

-What's the real story?

-Johnny Faust doesn't know who his dad is.

-Wait. I didn't know he was adopted.

-He's not. His mom toured for a living.

She just never found out who the dad was.

Girls like to have fun, too, you know?

-So, he went his whole life never having a dad?

How the hell do you know that?

-Um... I read a lot.

His mom did an interview

in an old issue of Hit Parader magazine,

like back in the early '90s when she first got pregnant.

But, uh, the issue was never digitized,

so not a lot of people know.

-JOSE: And now, the moment we've all been waiting for,

the world debut of a new song. -Oh, yeah.

-Yeah. -This is The Relentless with "Forgive Me, Mother."
