- Yeah, I'm sorry. - Okay, okay, okay. - Would you ever do an inner view? - Oh, no, English. - Oh.

- Are you interested in being inner view? - We're trying to interview someone. - Do you want to get an inner view? - We do a podcast, like an inner view of podcasts.

- It's not a podcast. - Oh wait, oh wait. - Oh, wait. - No, you're going to be pageant. - No, no, no, no, this man in his car.

- Yes. - You're exactly who we've been looking for. (audience cheering) - So guys, what kind of human being are we looking for right now?

- I don't even know what I want. I'm not going to know until I see an older person with experience. - Let me ask you guys this question.

If we're really not talking to just people first

and we're just kind of looking at them. Aren't we judging a book by its cover immediately?

And apparently with the whole premise of this thing?

- No, I think we got to say something to them. I think we're like, whoa, cool house. - When will? - Thank you, Ducky. Now, what if I told you about 20 small steps?

- You have a front row peak and exactly where season three was conceived, written, documented and explored. And turn the camera now, turn the camera now. Here. Just show it.

- Oh, thank you. - Don't tell anything to leave. Don't tell anything to leave. - Now turn the camera now. - Turn the camera now.

- No, turn the camera now, right there. - Yeah, you should. It's cool, it's like it's inspiring. The way it looks is inspiring. And then that looks like parasite to me.

That's not how there's peace. - Oh God, oh my God. - Oh my God, she made it. - I'm humiliated. - I'm just a guy who works for Benny.

Benny Blanco. - Which one that we're doing like a 16-minute scenario? - So Benny, after you did that hit song, teenage dream, did you feel like you're life really changed? - Hi.

- This guy's a star. - How are you doing? - Guys, a big star. - Did you feel like you're life really changed after teenage dream?

- Okay, so what do you want to do? - What do you want to say? - What do I want to say? I don't have much to say. I mean, I kind of want to hear what they have to say.

There's a little bit of a sick walking out of the building. I want to say, hey, we want to get a good life story, but what I need to do, we're doing interviews on people. We think could be interesting. We think you could be interesting.

- What would you do? - I would not do that.

- No, here's what I'm saying.

Say, hey, hey, do you have a second? - What do you mean, why, that's permanent? - Are you really busy today? Whatever their answer is. Then you say, what do you have an interesting life story

or do you have anything interesting to say that you'd want to come back to our house? - And tell us. - You don't have to sit out on the house now. - Let's just keep walking.

What we can circle back.

- I think I want to find a guy with a unique voice.

Like, why is it after being a guy? - Oh, you know, guy, like, what are those guys? Yeah, I work with those guys. That means like the whole company, you know? But, guy, it doesn't have to mean man.

When you say guy, you say guy. - No, when you say guy. - It's sexist. We could find a girl. Shoot, we could find a girl, no problem.

- We might have to do this on a slight different street. - A lot, this street is, you know. - Pretty dead. I'm sorry, it's not him. - Although, it's hard to just pick somebody off the street.

- Well, we haven't found a human being. - To your home. He's working.

- Hey, are you in the middle of something?

- He's going. - Are you R? - Okay, I understand, okay nice to meet you. - No. - He's on hold with the company.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Go, mochi. - Hi. - Hi. - How are you doing?

Are you, are you super busy? - I am. - Oh, you are. - Okay. I can't, I can't, I can't do it with a sort of rejection.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Yeah, she said she was. - We're experiencing a heat wave. - We just really, really gotta find someone soon. - We could just stand and wait for someone to pass by like on the bike.

- Check, I want to interview that man in that SUV right there. Check he's far, he was like, his name was like, "Sau Saladino." I want to find what this guy is doing right there. - Where, where, where.

- Why did this guy? - Why did this guy? - I want to get interviewed.

- Check, I think there might be a machine gun.

- Hi. We do a podcast like an interview podcast. Okay, it's not a podcast either. It's just trying to make it clear initially. Are you interested in being interviewed at all?

- Okay. - Okay. - All we're doing is meeting people and interviewing them just saying hi and what's your name one more time? - Isaac.

- Isaac. - That's Benny. - Oh, they're not even. - Yeah, they did something. - You're doing the wrong thing.

- Yeah. - Just moved to you. - Oh, somewhere. - From Connecticut. - Okay, what part?

- Richfield. - Richfield. - No, really? - It's not a crazy guy. - Yeah, I do know that.

- I have one friend, my best friend is from Richfield, Connecticut. He wants to like, Richfield, hi, or what's the name? - Is that real? - Yeah, yeah.

- That's crazy. - Dude, that's a lie. - Oh, how the fuck? - Richfield, hi in the house. Thanks for meeting us.

- Yeah. - We'll see you later. - See you later, Adam. - Hi there. - Hi.

- Hi. How you doing? - What you ever be interested in being interviewed with you? - Do you have time right now?

- I'm fabulous, but I don't have time to wait. - Oh, I know, you're gonna be paid you. What if we paid you?

- No, I can't pay you.

- Good. - Oh. - Hi, how are you? - Good, I'm sorry, go ahead. - No, no, no, no.

- I'm just kidding, try to repeat it. I love you, both of you guys. - You're an Olympic partner. - You're an Olympic partner.

- I've literally listened to a song for me.

That's fucking crazy. - What do you mean by that? - I got it now. - You're supposed to be an Olympic partner. - Do you want to get interviewed?

- Perfect. - You want to ride? - Yeah. - Can you drive us home though? Do you want to be interviewed for us?

- Walk in, yeah. - Okay, she's getting interviewed. - Okay. - Well, thanks, wait a second.

- Okay, so here's what we do.

It's like, it's essentially not making a pot. - It's essentially a pot cast, it's not a pot cast though. It's much, much cooler. - Gotcha. - And we have all these cameras in a home.

And we just hang out with people and just like, you don't see microphones, it's not like a typical pot cast. - I'm there, so let's say. - Yeah. - It's not just two men asking to take your home.

- Yeah, exactly. (laughing) - Put a camera in the car and all wrong. And I'll meet you there. - Okay, where's the room?

- We're rolling it. - Let's, you know how I can show you how to get there. - Yeah, we'd have really caught you off guard. Who thought we'd all be in your car? - Or they would.

- You guys have no idea. - It's a good cut off guard, but it was just like,

what is going on right now, if that is--

- So happy I'm not walking back. - And welcome. - Okay, thank you. - Welcome to home. - Oh, my, thank you.

- Yeah, come on in. This is really cool. - You know, you know Benny, but it's crazy. - Muchie, this is insane.

I've never seen a human being leave left over like this.

- Why don't you start hot in Natasha? - Hi. - Well first, first look at this. - Sorry, sorry. - I would have did something.

- Yeah, you know, what is there? - That was my dinner. - Yeah, what else do we have? Are you hungry? Do you want to snack?

- Oh, I do have snacks. Not like I have some chips. - Are you hungry? - Are you hungry? - I've done two things, never get in the car with strangers.

- I know. - I've never got here, but like, you know. - But don't you feel like you kind of know me? - A little bit, yeah. - You trust me.

- I mean, yeah. - She doesn't know me. - She doesn't know you. - What's crazy is that I trust you the most? - Oh.

- Can you trust me? - You trust me. - I do. - The least. - Okay, who is the least?

- Do not do not do. - You have to be happy. - Who do you trust most, the least, it's okay. - You can't do that. - Okay, who do you trust the least?

- It's kind of you. - No. - You said you trust me. - Even two of you, that's hard, though. - Oh yeah, just do the two of us.

Would you trust more? - I really put it around the spot. You know what? Because I've seen more of, but I've seen some of yours.

- You know, we don't have to play this. - Oh yeah, to trust, to not be put in a weird situation, I really don't know. - Yeah. - But who's she trust the most?

- Don't you think he looks kind of sleazy? - Why? Like the way he dresses is like kind of sleazy. - I think I look great. - What do you think?

- I think the outfit. - Where do you think about his outfit? - Well, it's nice. - It's nice. - It's nice, it's nice.

- It's best outfit. - I love this shirt. - Thank you.

- I'm gonna get a pee, and if you have to go after you can.

- Oh, you have to pee too. - I don't know, I'm a good host, guys. - Do you have to pee? - I'm good. - I'm good.

- Well, I guess what we'll wait. Do you have any hidden talents? - Me and my best friend make music. - That tell us about it. - Hardest name.

- Bex crimes this her name. - Yes, we met at LA film in our math class. Only class we ever had, but we just linked. We heard each other stuff, and we linked up, and just started making music.

- Do you like the music, like the cheese, singles or wraps on her? - Basically, yeah.

So I basically produce, and then she writes and she sings,

but we kind of like, we co-produce everything together. - Yeah. - So like, we go back and forth and we ping pong off of each other. So it's, but her heavy thing is songwriting, singing artistry. Mine's just like producing.

- So yeah. But we've been just kind of working for the past three years, just trying to like find her sound, find out like what fits her and finally we're like, in this spot right now that's just been like,

we're finding it. - All right, that makes sense. - Wow, that's so crazy. - Wow, that's amazing. - That's amazing.

- You guys are happy with it. - I don't think you understand. - Yeah. - Like, yeah. - That's amazing.

- So yeah. - This is great, this is cool. - Yeah, this is what I'm gonna move to life. - Yeah, this is like a quintessential, - Owlette.

- Yeah. - No, like, she makes me use it. - At you say, move to life, I'm from that way. - Oh, if I use it from Oklahoma. - No, I lived in Oklahoma for like four or five years

from like 1924, but I'm born and raised constant. - Got it. - 1924? - No. - Okay.

(laughing) - Domino's "Smorse" lava cake. - Go, go, go, Christian, go, go, go, go. - I'm gonna match eating up. Oh, I was gonna check, my favorite part about camping

is the "Smorse" but when I do go camping. - Oh yeah. - I don't really like to sleep in the tent or really camp. I prefer to be in a car, to be covered.

- I'll come out for the, for the "Smorse." - I don't like camping, but honestly, now that these "Smorse" lava cakes from Dallas exist, I'm like camping a little bit more than I did yesterday.

- Well, you don't even have to go camping. We're camping right now.

We have all the perks of camping without having to get

all stinky and sweaty and dirty, no mosquitoes. No little critters coming by. You can get three. - Domino's "Lava Cakes" when you mix and match any. - Two or more menu items.

- Is LA film school not for filmmaking? - It's for both, so they have the film side and they have the audio side. - Interesting. - So, and then sometimes they kind of like infuse it.

So, like, we have to do scoring all that stuff. - Wow. - Yeah, but they have the recording side that's from music. - Do you apply the instruments? - I play piano.

- Oh, yeah. - I play a little guitar and stuff, but I'm not like, she plays piano too. - Yeah. - No, she does.

- I don't like piano sing, I don't like, they don't believe, but I know the keys. I know CDE, B flat. - But she had to just label the key. - I don't want to read something.

- That's where I started. - Yeah. - It's like 13 and I label my own keys and like 10 and any more.

- No, it was just, I only labeled the key.

- We got to try somewhere. - So, I could like do it faster. - Yeah, I get that, her voice is so... - Oh, do you think in the group? - No, I have, I'm not gonna lie like,

when it comes to like singing in front of people, I kind of climb up a little bit. - But your speaking voice is so good, like if you did a ad with on sprite right now with that, like when you're speaking voice, I would,

I feel like I'd buy it, right? - Yeah, I mean, if it's not that we know her personally, I feel like you're very inviting. - Why are you talking about your life? How are you even after the LA film school?

Did you always know you wanted to do music stuff?

- Yeah, so when I was like 13, like growing up, I went to like, I was always in good club, choir, all that stuff. When I was about 13 though, my dad bought me a little keyboard and I labeled the keys.

And I listened to like songs like unfaithful by Rihanna, like one of my favorites. Like I learned how to play that by ear and I just kept learning stuff in over time. It kind of like, I started to know where they were

and then I went to performing arts high school. - And just like a line again and another, you just got in. - No, crazy thing at the time, 'cause this is like 2004.

- Yeah. - So I went to high school. - Yeah, I was starting high school.

And that school was like a continuation of school before.

And this year they changed it to a performing art high school. And so they had got grants and everything. And so I was going to a Catholic school in downtown Long Beach and I guess somehow they got like, my grades and stuff.

So he called and I was able to like just go look at the school and see if I wanted to go and I got to go there instead. - Oh wow, which was dope because like I was in Long Beach at the time but we moved to Compton. So it was kind of like, I was just gonna have to go

to Jordan High School or Compton High High School. And so I got to go there instead in downtown Long Beach. So there I met my mentor who like definitely like took me in and like taught me more and everything.

It always was just a thing.

I always love music and then like life and then so school. I started working and then eventually like some years later I was like, I gotta get back and so like what I love. So finally I was like, you know, I have the confidence.

I feel like I know what it takes for me to like just keep going until like 2019 I bought like a little MPK mini. And so this and I just started to tap in a way already knew like theory and piano. So that part was easy.

And so eventually just kind of like COVID happened. So I was able to like really lock in. I had some buddies who had a space that let me just kind of like build up a little makeshift studio. So I was just in there figuring it out

and once COVID ended and L.A. film opened back up the campuses I went. Okay. But like sit on the couch. Just on the couch.

We haven't had a chance to open a drink yet. We're drilling. You're good, you're good. How did you meet Bax? She was working at Benny Harness at the time and she's like,

I'm quitting Benny Harness. So after I come after I quit Benny Harness, she's like, I can be in here every day with you. And we just somehow just locked in. So each other's anchors are just a clear.

Yeah, big time. That's amazing. So and it just, it's been... Did she respond, Bax, to your text? She did.

What she said? I told her it'd just be ready. She said, okay. Should we call her? Yeah.

At a face time right? Yeah.

And then I have two important questions for you.

Of course, of course. Hey, guess what? I have some people that want to say, how do you friend who should go for it? Hello?

How are you? I'm good. How are you? We're hearing all about her. We're great things about you.

Yeah. We love your name, Bax Grimes, which she knows is really based off her actual name, but we think it's a cool abbreviation. Thank you.

And we just meant Natasha on the street actually. We don't even know her.

So we basically were filming this thing.

It's like, you know, I guess to simplify it. It's like a podcast. But it's really not a podcast. It's just people hanging out right here. I don't know.

There's Benny. Don't you?

How are you doing?

Don't be too shocked when you see me.

It's my wife, Kristen. I'm not known yet, but maybe one day. She's the coolest one. Yeah.

Honestly, we're walking around just looking for people.

And it was really hard to find anybody that we trusted enough to bring back to our house. But then we saw Natasha sitting in the driver's seat of her car. And she actually drove us home. What?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you care if she plays some of your music for us? Not at all.

Okay, cool. How crazy is this LA, huh? This is probably the craziest thing that's happened. We're right here. Wait, can I just say that I'm like completely obsessed with your show?

Thank you. Hey, if like I'm completely obsessed. Thank you so much. That's so sweet.

We thought we found the right people.

This is good. Yeah. It was faint. This is good. Thank you.

I mean, that's very sweet of you. All right. Well, look, this could be the beginning. You'd be know that you guys live in the area.

So, you know, maybe it's the beginning of a new friendship.

Yeah. I'm a cool guy. Yeah. Okay. It was so great to meet you.

Thank you. Okay, bye. Can you ask her? What song she's... Oh, what song do you want us to play?

What songs? Do you want to play blood first? Yeah. Can I play... could you be mine? Even though it's not done. You mean dirty dishes?

Yeah, that one. Yes. Okay, cool. I love the name. I'm so particular about what I play.

What do I play at? Like I totally understand all that. I'm just this glamour. Yeah, please. Yeah.

And where? We just made the final last night. Yeah. Oh, wow. I appreciate it.

Wow. So fresh.

I could never play a song.

I never have confidence in the song. No, no, I'm just me. I'm my music. I take it. Like you shouldn't be there.

No, no, you should be. You should be. I wish I was just going to art.

I'm so excited about the thing that I made the night before that.

I love that. I think that's great. Okay. Well, it was so great to meet you. Nice to meet you.

She's super dope. Yeah. Yeah.

That's why we're in like, who do you least trust?

Honestly, I don't know because like, that's my best friend. And she's on the line of how you drive on. Like, this doesn't make sense. Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, who is doing the horn? Oh, no, the horn. It's our friend Tatiana Tate. She's really dope. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I have to. How are you?

I sit like, and I can't even sit there like this.

And I like, I look down. I can't make eye kind of. Yeah. I don't look up to see any cool spaces. A few people that I really care about.

There's some hits in here that I'm trying to figure out. I'm not a drummer, but I'm trying to figure these out. I forgot they were in there after I sent them. Okay. This is like a once in a lifetime.

Yeah. And to be able to like get since maybe if you guys have feedback. No, I respect.

I was like the kid Just the filling of like if I can remember filling sort of days in my life was There was a day because I grew up in like the foster system and stuff and so there was a day where I was with like my My parents who are called my mom and dad and

And at the time I didn't know what was going on but like a social worker came and got me and just put my stuff and like this black bag and just like took me away from them

And I think I was away from them for like six months. I want to say

And these weren't my biological parents, but these were my parents that like took me in when I was like a baby and yeah So that is like probably one of those the heaviest moments of my life So do you know your real parents? So my I thought we I don't know who my father technically is we thought we knew who that was because That was a side of the family that kind of took us in but my sister did

Like the ancestry thing come to find out it for her for sure I still have to do it because we're like 12 and then my biological mother. I know of her and she's around But I don't really yes, yeah
