11 00:01:38 - Yeah. - Let's pull that down.
12 00:01:39 Got it.
13 00:01:43 Do you guys like this song?
14 00:01:45 'Cause I've been singing it for a long time.
15 00:01:49 This was one of the first songs I ever recorded.
16 00:01:53 Lee Moses wrote it.
17 00:01:54 And when I played it for the label,
18 00:01:56 they said, "Who wants to listen to this?"
19 00:02:00 And you know what I say?
20 00:02:02 How you like me now?
21 00:02:04 Wait, wait. Play that back.
22 00:02:07 Let's lose the gates.
23 00:02:09 I want it to bleed more.
24 00:02:11 And you know what I say?
25 00:02:13 How you like me now?
26 00:02:15 - Bad... - Nice, Maggie.
27 00:02:18 - Girl - This song is about...
28 00:02:23 ...a bad girl.
29 00:02:24 One, two, three, four!
30 00:02:27 Bad... girl
31 00:02:32 Oh, yes, I am...
32 00:02:34 You know it, man.
33 00:02:36 Sorry, Maggie, I got a real session here.
34 00:02:39 Oh, shit.
35 00:02:41 - That's crazy. That's crazy. - All over.
36 00:02:43 - 5:00 a.m. - Hey, sweetie.
37 00:02:44 - Sethy! My brother. - Hey.
38 00:02:45 - 'Sup, man? - You beautiful beast.
39 00:02:46 - What's happening, man? - What's happening?
40 00:02:47 - Looking good as usual. - Yo, dude, was that
41 00:02:48 - a Grace Davis track? - It's a work in progress.
42 00:02:50 - Yeah, man, I'd love to get in on that. - Yeah, me, too.
43 00:02:52 Uh, let me just pull up your track.
44 00:02:58 One, two, three, four!
45 00:03:00 Bad... girl
46 00:03:06 Oh, yes, I am
47 00:03:09 Baby, they call me bad girl
48 00:03:13 All because I wanted to be free
49 00:03:17 But there's a man who's in love
50 00:03:20 With this here little girl
51 00:03:22 And I believe that he loves me, yeah
52 00:03:25 What his heart feels
53 00:03:28 His lips must confess that he'll
54 00:03:30 Never let me alone
55 00:03:32 He doesn't care if I'm bad
56 00:03:35 We're gonna be friends.
57 00:03:37 Bad girl, yeah
58 00:03:40 Oh, so bad
59 00:03:43 Yeah, bad, bad girl
60 00:03:49 His love
61 00:03:51 Is a mystery
62 00:03:54 It can't be explained by anything...
63 00:03:56 Whew! Hi.
64 00:03:59 Where are her keys?
65 00:04:00 You could lose the tone.
66 00:04:02 I've had a hell of a day.
67 00:04:04 Where are the keys?
68 00:04:05 Mm-mm.
69 00:04:06 I manage the house,
70 00:04:08 not the woman that lives inside of it.
71 00:04:09 That's your job.
72 00:04:11
73 00:04:15 Bad
74 00:04:19 Bad girl
75 00:04:26 If your ass can't be on time, be early.
76 00:04:29 Here, this is her bag.
77 00:04:32 Hey, I'll see you at the house.
78 00:04:38 Late.
79 00:04:40 Six minutes.
80 00:04:43 - Not my best. - Nope.
81 00:04:45 How was Maui?
82 00:04:46 Crowded, hot, pretty, fun.
83 00:04:47 I don't know. Hard.
84 00:04:48 What is this? That's disgusting.
85 00:04:50 I don't want that. Why'd you bring that?
86 00:04:52 Y-You asked me to.
87 00:04:54 You drink it.
88 00:04:57 Your set-changes meeting is at 2:30,
89 00:04:59 and then you have the waxer at 3:15.
90 00:05:01 - Uh-huh. - And you want a facial, yeah?
91 00:05:02 Yeah. I don't want this, though. No more of that.
92 00:05:04 - My God. - Um, the band is coming over
93 00:05:06 for the party at 5:00-ish,
94 00:05:07 and tomorrow we leave at 9:30, wheels up, for New York.
95 00:05:10 And what are we doing with that producer meeting?
96 00:05:12 Jack is scheduling those.
97 00:05:13 Um, but about the live album, I was wondering...
98 00:05:16 Do I have rehearsal tomorrow?
99 00:05:18 - Is that all set? - Yes, well,
100 00:05:20 Dan was asking if, perhaps,
101 00:05:23 you would want to rehearse at his house instead of yours.
102 00:05:30 I'd said to his assistant that that probably would not...
103 00:05:34 How many Grammys do I have?
104 00:05:35 - 11. - Uh-huh.
105 00:05:37 And how many Grammys does Dan have?
106 00:05:39 - Eight. - Not 11.
107 00:05:40 - No. - That's eight.
108 00:05:42 - That's very fewer than me. - Mm-hmm.
109 00:05:43 A lot fewer.
110 00:05:46 You feel free to relay that to his assistant.
111 00:05:52 Flowers
112 00:05:54 Oh. Thank you.
113 00:05:56 Of the fields
114 00:06:00 Here today
115 00:06:02 Vanish in the wind...
116 00:06:05 Look at you.
117 00:06:07 Full of sugar. Shit.
118 00:06:09 Just eat half of your ass.
119 00:06:11 I'm-a just eat cake, no icing.
120 00:06:13 No icing.
121 00:06:15 Jack, she will have just finished eight shows,
122 00:06:17 and you want her to fly to Vegas
123 00:06:18 to have a conversation with the Caesars Palace guy?
124 00:06:20 It's a residency, okay?
125 00:06:22 And it's my job to find us our next gig.
126 00:06:25 This ain't your grandmama's Vegas.
127 00:06:27 Lil Jon done played there.
128 00:06:28 DJ Khaled.
129 00:06:30 Let me do my job, and you do yours, which is:
130 00:06:33 get her coffee, Kleenex, Kotex
131 00:06:37 and whatever else the hell we been paying you to do
132 00:06:39 for the last six months.
133 00:06:40 Three years.
134 00:06:42 I've been here for three years.
135 00:06:44 You get paid?
136 00:06:45 I thought you were an intern.
137 00:06:46 Jack, I just feel
138 00:06:48 like it might be a good idea if she took a break.
139 00:06:52 That's a good idea.
140 00:06:53 And what I mean by "good idea"...
141 00:06:55 screw you and your shitty ideas.
142 00:06:57 She just got back from Hawaii.
143 00:06:59 That was work.
144 00:07:01 Yeah, in Hawaii.
145 00:07:02 Okay, now, guys, I'm not going back to Hawaii.
146 00:07:04 If we're gonna do tropical, Jack,
147 00:07:06 I want to go to the Maldives.
148 00:07:09 Jack, there hasn't been a new Grace Davis record in a decade,
149 00:07:13 and the fans want one.
150 00:07:15 - Okay. - We need one.
151 00:07:17 Let me tell you something... I've been managing Grace
152 00:07:20 longer than you've probably been alive.
153 00:07:22 So you think she should do new material?
154 00:07:24 - Yeah. - Okay. Guess what.
155 00:07:27 Don't nobody give a shit about new material.
156 00:07:29 Okay?
157 00:07:31 That last album she did,
158 00:07:32 it didn't do as well as she had hoped.
159 00:07:36 Matter of fact, those was not Grace Davis numbers,
160 00:07:39 and you know it.
161 00:07:41 That was a reality check,
162 00:07:42 people letting us know it's time to move on.
163 00:07:45 - To a Vegas residency? - Yeah.
164 00:07:47 Don't nobody want to go to no Yankee Doodle
165 00:07:49 Springsteen concert and hear him play
166 00:07:51 that Wrecking Ball folksy bullshit.
167 00:07:53 Actually, that was an incredibly poignant album,
168 00:07:56 and it did extremely well.
169 00:07:58 People want "Thunder Road," okay?
170 00:08:01 And that's what we gonna give 'em.
171 00:08:02 We gonna give 'em "Thunder Road."
172 00:08:05 That's how I pay my mortgage.
173 00:08:07 But you wouldn't know that,
174 00:08:08 'cause your little ass ain't got no mortgage.
175 00:08:09 Crazy little girl gonna tell me how to do my goddamn job.
176 00:08:12 Always coming at me with some Springsteen shit.
177 00:08:22 Got me twisted.
178 00:08:28 It's an evil wind...
179 00:08:30 "Share Your Love with Me,"
180 00:08:33 sung by the 27-year-old Aretha Franklin.
181 00:08:36 - Originally by... - Bobby "Blue" Bland.
182 00:08:38 Bobby "Blue" Bland.
183 00:08:40 It's a sad heart
184 00:08:43 That won't love
185 00:08:44 Like I know it should
186 00:08:50 - Oh, how lonesome - Oh, how lonesome
187 00:08:56 You must be...
188 00:08:59 One, two, three, four!
189 00:09:01 Bad
190 00:09:03 Bad, bad
191 00:09:05 Bad girl...
192 00:09:07 Hey, do you think you could, like,
193 00:09:08 turn it up a little bit louder?
194 00:09:11 - Headphones. - Okay.
195 00:09:13 You put them on so I can sleep.
196 00:09:15 Thank you.
197 00:09:17 But there's a man
198 00:09:19 Who's in love with this here little girl...
199 00:09:21 One, two, three, four!
200 00:09:23 Bad... girl
201 00:09:32 Baby, they call me bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
202 00:09:36 All because...

204 00:09:43 This is the song list for the live album.
205 00:09:45 Okay.
206 00:09:46 - Don't mess it up. - I won't.
207 00:09:48 - Okay. - Here you go.
208 00:09:50 - Thank you, baby. - I know that Jack is
209 00:09:52 setting some producer meetings for the live album,
210 00:09:54 - and I was wondering... - Mm-hmm.
211 00:09:55 Well, I was hoping, actually, um, if I could...
212 00:09:58 What you doing in my damn seat?
213 00:09:59 Why you always sitting here?
214 00:10:00 Oh, I'm sorry.
215 00:10:02 Sorry.
216 00:10:10 Want to go over the set list?
217 00:10:14 No.
218 00:10:15 Do you?
219 00:10:17 No.
220 00:10:19 Got your bag of diabetes right here.
221 00:10:21 Boom. Give it to me.
222 00:10:23 You know, I don't even like sugar.
223 00:10:25 - Uh-huh. - I only carry this
224 00:10:26 on the off chance that you might want some, you know?
225 00:10:29 Mm-hmm. Very kind.
226 00:10:30 But you know who ends up eating it all?
227 00:10:32 - Who? - Me.
228 00:10:33 - And I'm trying to do better. - Mm-hmm.
229 00:10:36 Taking my little Pilates.
230 00:10:38 Got my spin classes.
231 00:10:41 Eating my salads.
232 00:10:44 Iceberg lettuce with a whole bunch of blue cheese on it
233 00:10:46 is not a salad.
234 00:10:48 Look, menu say it's a salad, it's a goddamn salad.
235 00:10:52 - It's not a salad. - Yeah.
236 00:10:54 - Mm. - So, let's go over the list.
237 00:10:56 No, I don't want to go over the set list.
238 00:10:58 Grace, come on.
239 00:10:59 I'll get off this goddamn plane right now.
240 00:11:01 You're gonna get off the plane, Jack?
241 00:11:02 How are you gonna get off the plane?
242 00:11:04 - I bought you the plane. - You... Oh.
243 00:11:07 My voice bought me this plane.
244 00:11:10 That's a damn technicality.
245 00:11:13 Give me another Red Vine.
246 00:11:16 You know what?
247 00:11:18 - 20% of that's mine. - Unbelievable.
248 00:11:20 Grace! Grace! Grace!
249 00:11:22 You better just
250 00:11:24 Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
251 00:11:42 Monday morning, and the sun is dead
252 00:11:45 Sky is broken, and the clouds are bled
253 00:11:50 I was up, was gonna go to work
254 00:11:53 Had my coffee, then went back to bed
255 00:11:57 Aiyee

260 00:12:07 I'm not gonna tell you guys you're great
261 00:12:09 if you're not great. Let's do it again.
262 00:12:11 Baby, 'cause you
263 00:12:14 You're the only one who knows what I...
264 00:12:17 No, no, no, no, no!
265 00:12:19 Stop for a minute
266 00:12:22 Stop for a minute, oh...
267 00:12:24 Hello, New York!
268 00:12:25 Chicago!
269 00:12:27 Hello...
270 00:12:28 - Where are we? - Detroit.
271 00:12:31 I can't hear you, Maggie.
272 00:12:32 Detroit.
273 00:12:33 I can't hear you, Detroit!
274 00:12:35 Stop for a minute, stop for a minute
275 00:12:38 Oh, stop for a minute
276 00:12:41 Stop for a minute, oh
277 00:12:42 - Cold. Oh! - Detroit Free Press:
278 00:12:45 "Everything we'd expect from a Grace Davis concert.
279 00:12:47 "Lucky her songs are good, or by now
280 00:12:50 we would've tired of them."
281 00:12:52 - I need more ice. - I don't agree.
282 00:12:54 - I know when I need more ice. - Oh.
283 00:12:56 Baby, 'cause you
284 00:12:58 You got little brittle pieces...
285 00:13:03 Stop for a minute
286 00:13:05 Stop for a minute, oh
287 00:13:07 Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh.
288 00:13:11 Thank you!
289 00:13:18 - Oh, I call tall blondie. - Dark shorty.
290 00:13:19 - I call Mr. Chocolate. - Grace!
291 00:13:21 - Yes, Jack. - Look. Hey.
292 00:13:23 Hey, y'all. Get the hell out of here.
293 00:13:24 - Beat it. Beat it. - Oh, and hello to you, too.
294 00:13:26 - Give me that. - Oh, give me that.
295 00:13:28 - Remember Alec? Caesars Palace? - Oh.
296 00:13:30 Of course I do.
297 00:13:32 I wish I'd known you were coming. I...
298 00:13:34 I would've gotten you box seats.
299 00:13:36 Oh, there's no need to fret. Jack got me...
300 00:13:38 - the hookup. - Ah!
301 00:13:40 I can't tell you how stoked I am
302 00:13:41 to be here and finally be having this conversation.
303 00:13:43 We so want to be in the you business, Grace.
304 00:13:46 Caesars is going through a full revamp.
305 00:13:48 Uh, more seats, brighter lights, louder sound.
306 00:13:50 It looked great in there.
307 00:13:51 It's hooked. And everything you're doing on tour,
308 00:13:54 - we can do it right there. - Yeah.
309 00:13:55 Five years, six years.
310 00:13:57 - Ten. - Ten.
311 00:13:59 I would do the same thing every night?
312 00:14:01 Man, that's my dream job.
313 00:14:03 - Easy money. Look, no stress. - Mm-hmm.
314 00:14:05 All right? No more touring.
315 00:14:06 I love touring.
316 00:14:08 I like groupies, too.
317 00:14:10 No, I like touring. I don't like groupies.
318 00:14:11 But this way... this way, I ain't got to
319 00:14:13 reinvent your ass every time.
320 00:14:16 I'm just trying to take a little pressure off myself.
321 00:14:19 I found your lucky glass.
322 00:14:20 It was on the balcony, which was weird.
323 00:14:21 - Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't... - Sweetheart, be an angel.
324 00:14:24 - Get me a drink. No soda. Ugh. - Get, get, get, get.
325 00:14:26 Celine Dion did over a thousand shows for us.
326 00:14:28 But I think, with your fan base, we can beat that record.
327 00:14:31 Man, come on.
328 00:14:34 Man, come on.
329 00:14:35 - That's nothing. - That's nothing.
330 00:14:37 It's "nathan."
331 00:14:38 It's... "nathan."
332 00:14:40 If you want the feel of touring, we can do it.
333 00:14:42 We'll leave from Vegas, we'll drive you around,
334 00:14:44 we'll come back to Vegas.
335 00:14:45 You'll feel like you're touring.
336 00:14:46 We'll do whatever you want.
337 00:14:47 Grace, there's a problem with the house monitor,
338 00:14:48 so we just need to do another sound check.
339 00:14:50 Oh, my God. Okay.
340 00:14:52 - So sorry. Duty calls. - Oh.
341 00:14:53 - Got to go. - Of course. Yeah.
342 00:14:54 We'll do anything to get you there.
343 00:14:55 - So, uh... - Thank you for coming.
344 00:14:57 Enjoy the show.
345 00:15:01 I had faith in you
346 00:15:04 I just kept on saying
347 00:15:09 Oh, no, not my baby
348 00:15:14 Oh, no...
349 00:15:15 Hey.
350 00:15:16 Are you okay?
351 00:15:18 Yeah. I can't sleep.
352 00:15:20 Do you want some tea?
353 00:15:22 Or I think Jack has a lot of Ambien.
354 00:15:25 No. It's fine.
355 00:15:26 Stop. Relax.
356 00:15:28 What are you doing?
357 00:15:30 Schedule stuff.
358 00:15:33 What are you listening to?
359 00:15:34 And I should use my head
360 00:15:37 But I didn't listen to what she said...
361 00:15:40 Aw.
362 00:15:42 Such a good song.
363 00:15:44 Maxine Brown.
364 00:15:47 You know who originally wrote this?
365 00:15:48 - Yeah. Carole King. - Very good.
366 00:15:50 - She's my favorite songwriter. - Really?
367 00:15:53 - Other than you. - Thank you.
368 00:15:55 I'm sorry.
369 00:15:57 - I'm joking. - Mm.
370 00:15:58 Here.
371 00:16:01 That was a really good move back there with Mr. Vegas.
372 00:16:04 It did not look like
373 00:16:07 you wanted to have that conversation.
374 00:16:09 Oh.
375 00:16:10 Like you can read me so well.
376 00:16:13 Sorry.
377 00:16:14 I'm kidding.
378 00:16:15 I can't believe he pulled that.
379 00:16:17 He's just looking out for me.
380 00:16:19 He and I have been hustling together since I was...
381 00:16:24 since I was 18.
382 00:16:26 I used to do these sets at these late-night,
383 00:16:30 divey piano bars.
384 00:16:32 They were, like, sticky floors, like, smoke everywhere.
385 00:16:36 Sound system was terrible.
386 00:16:38 They were awful. Like, awful.
387 00:16:40 And every night, Jack would...
388 00:16:43 He would show up, and he'd be standing in the back...
389 00:16:47 and his mouth was just, like, hanging open, looking at me.
390 00:16:52 For where we come from,
391 00:16:54 getting locked into a Vegas residency,
392 00:16:59 that is a win.
393 00:17:02 What?
394 00:17:04 Nothing.
395 00:17:07 I know everyone is happy with me...
396 00:17:13 ...doing the same show every night.
397 00:17:17 I don't know, what if...
398 00:17:20 Whatever.
399 00:17:22 I remember watching you on Oprah...
400 00:17:24 - Which time? - ...when I was little, and...
401 00:17:27 I've done Oprah so many times.
402 00:17:28 I think you were talking about your third album.
403 00:17:30 Uh-huh.
404 00:17:31 And you said this thing that I'll never forget.
405 00:17:35 I think about it all the time.
406 00:17:37 You said, "When there are no more surprises,
407 00:17:40 then who am I doing it for?"
408 00:17:44 - Oprah. - Oprah.
409 00:17:47 Long time ago.
410 00:17:49 So, has this just been, like, a long con?
411 00:17:51 Yes. Ever since I was a little girl,
412 00:17:54 I've dreamed of giving you an enema in Toronto.
413 00:17:58 Okay.
414 00:17:58 Do not bring up Toronto.
415 00:18:00 You know what clams do to me.
416 00:18:03
417 00:18:07 She was telling me about
418 00:18:09 all these amazing affairs that she had. It...
419 00:18:11 So you didn't talk to her about the album.
420 00:18:13 No. You don't understand. Katie...
421 00:18:15 She doesn't have any family, and no friends.
422 00:18:18 You're not friends. We are friends.
423 00:18:19 You know how I know we're friends?
424 00:18:21 Because friends don't pay friends to be their friends.
425 00:18:26 I actually feel like I pay for a lot of stuff
426 00:18:29 - in this relationship. - This is like a trap, you know?
427 00:18:31 - No. - You are not the only person in the world for her.
428 00:18:35 You are my only person in my world.
429 00:18:37 I know that, but if you told 12-year-old me
430 00:18:39 that one day I'd be working for Grace Davis...
431 00:18:42 I mean, she's an icon.
432 00:18:43 It's the dream job.
433 00:18:45 Or at least it's, like, the gateway
434 00:18:46 to my actual dream job, but...
435 00:18:48 It's the gateway to, like, Stockholm syndrome.
436 00:18:50 Hey, I thought you left your phone in the car.
437 00:18:53 Yeah, my... I left my phone in the car.
438 00:18:55 This is my work phone.
439 00:18:56 Okay. You know what? Listen to me, Maggie.
440 00:18:58 - Yes. - Phone down. Eyes on me.
441 00:18:59 I know you think that she's gonna
442 00:19:01 give you this, like, life-changing shot
443 00:19:02 and you guys are gonna ride off into the sunset
444 00:19:05 holding hands or some shit,
445 00:19:06 but I think we need to consider the possibility
446 00:19:10 that this woman doesn't even know your last name.
447 00:19:12 - She does, sometimes. - Do we really think
448 00:19:14 she's gonna stop making you
449 00:19:16 wear her shoes around the house to break them in
450 00:19:18 and, oh, I don't know, make you her producer?
451 00:19:21 - Yes! - Maggie!
452 00:19:23 She only did that once, by the way,
453 00:19:24 and it was for the Grammys.
454 00:19:26 Can you please want more for yourself?
455 00:19:27 We are like this.
456 00:19:30 So, when you say "affairs"...
457 00:19:31 I'm not gonna tell you anything.
458 00:19:33 Like, give me a name. One name.
459 00:19:34 Because Grace and I are friends
460 00:19:35 and I signed an NDA.
461 00:19:39 We've been on the run
462 00:19:42 Driving in the sun
463 00:19:44 Looking out for number one
464 00:19:46 California, here we come
465 00:19:49 Right back where we started from
466 00:19:52 Are-are these organic?
467 00:19:53 Oh, hustlers, grab your guns...
468 00:19:55 I don't work here.
469 00:19:57 But yes.
470 00:19:58 California, here we come...
471 00:20:00 Great song.
472 00:20:02 - You don't think so? - What?
473 00:20:04 California...
474 00:20:10 Ooh! He holds it out the whole time, you know?
475 00:20:13 Here we come...
476 00:20:17 Yeah, yeah.
477 00:20:19 Yeah, Phantom Planet.
478 00:20:21 Very good.
479 00:20:23 Well, everybody knows this song. It's from The O.C.
480 00:20:26 Great show, right?
481 00:20:28 Right back where we started from
482 00:20:29 I have to go.
483 00:20:31 A pedal to the floor, thinking of the roar...
484 00:20:34 I'm just wondering if your distaste for the show
485 00:20:37 is affecting your ability to appreciate
486 00:20:39 the musical complexity of the song.
487 00:20:41 Um...
488 00:20:43 Well, of all the songs about California,
489 00:20:46 this is not the one that I would pick.
490 00:20:48 - Okay. - Joni Mitchell's "California," maybe.
491 00:20:50 Or "Going Back to Cali" or "California Dreamin'."
492 00:20:52 They're all way better than this.
493 00:20:54 - "California Love." - Yeah.
494 00:20:56 Zeppelin's "Going to California."
495 00:20:58 - That's an amazing song. - Okay.
496 00:21:00 "Hotel California."
497 00:21:01 Mm, uh...
498 00:21:03 What's wrong with "Hotel California"?
499 00:21:05 Well, the Eagles are hokey, and Don Henley is
500 00:21:07 a very mean man.
501 00:21:08 - Okay. - Randy Meisner almost died of a stomach ulcer
502 00:21:11 because the band hated each other so much.
503 00:21:13 Yeah, but it's a perfect song.
504 00:21:15 It's, like, underrated, to be honest.
505 00:21:16 Underrated?
506 00:21:17 - Yeah. - It's literally always on.
507 00:21:19 - Okay. - It's, like, the "Brown Eyed Girl"
508 00:21:21 of Southern California soft rock.
509 00:21:22 So the Eagles won't make your fantasy dinner party.
510 00:21:25 Who does?
511 00:21:26 Popsicle?
512 00:21:27 Oh, no, thanks.
513 00:21:28 Well, uh, living or dead?
514 00:21:31 It doesn't matter.
515 00:21:33 Um, Brian Wilson.
516 00:21:35 Mm-hmm.
517 00:21:37 Nina Simone.
518 00:21:37 She and I have the same birthday.
519 00:21:40 Me and Mariah Carey.
520 00:21:41 So we're both very demanding and very deeply sad.
521 00:21:44 Yeah.
522 00:21:47 - Otis Redding, for sure. - Oh, you're not
523 00:21:48 one of those girls who learned about Otis Redding
524 00:21:50 from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, are you?
525 00:21:52 I'm not even gonna respond to that.
526 00:21:53 - So, yes. Last one. - Hi.
527 00:21:55 Hi.
528 00:21:56 - Sam Cooke. - Who's Sam Cooke?
529 00:21:59 - "Who's Sam Cooke?" - Yeah, who's Sam Cooke?
530 00:22:01 You know Phantom Planet, but you don't know Sam Cooke?
531 00:22:04 Folks, please join us outside on the patio
532 00:22:07 for live music and free vitamin B shots.
533 00:22:08 I'm having a party next week.
534 00:22:10 - You should come. - Oh, n... that's all...
535 00:22:13 That'll be $45.17. For the Popsicles.
536 00:22:15 - Yeah! - Welcome to
537 00:22:17 the second annual Laurel Canyon Wellness Fest.
538 00:22:19 I'm David Cliff, and I'm gonna start off
539 00:22:21 with a song from the King of Soul, Sam Cooke.
540 00:22:25 Hope you all know who that is.
541 00:22:27 All right!
542 00:22:28 Sam Cooke!
543 00:22:30 Darling, you send me
544 00:22:34 Ah, nice, brother!
545 00:22:35 I know you send me
546 00:22:40 Darling, you send me
547 00:22:45 Honest you do, honest you do, honest you do
548 00:22:49 Whoa
549 00:22:51 - You thrill me... - Son of a bitch.
550 00:22:56 It's just one simple meeting.
551 00:22:58 The label guys want to know all about Vegas.
552 00:23:05 You know what?
553 00:23:07 Let's just talk about this later.
554 00:23:08 Continue to do your, uh, euca-load-of-shit.
555 00:23:16 "I don't want to sit with a bunch of label guys who..."
556 00:23:22 What is that line?
557 00:23:23 "Have to be reminded."
558 00:23:25 "Have to be... have to be reminded that I'm still alive."
559 00:23:28 What did we sit here and talk about?
560 00:23:32 Mm.
561 00:23:33 Uh, "I've already done
562 00:23:35 "a greatest-hits album and a live album,
563 00:23:38 and now a greatest-hits live album?"
564 00:23:42 What?
565 00:23:44 Look, when I agreed to come back,
566 00:23:46 what did you promise me?
567 00:23:48 Huh?
568 00:23:50 You said you was gonna listen to me this time.
569 00:23:53 All I want to do is play it safe so we can stack some money.
570 00:23:57 It's pathetic.
571 00:23:58 No, you pathetic.
572 00:24:00 'Cause you arguing with me
573 00:24:01 and your ass should be on vocal rest.
574 00:24:03 I will decide
575 00:24:05 - what I want to do next. - Yes.
576 00:24:07 - Give me the Popsicles, Maggie. - Yeah.
577 00:24:12 You always walk away!
578 00:24:13 Grace.
579 00:24:15 Now ain't the time for some damn sabbatical.
580 00:24:18
581 00:24:43
582 00:24:53 Oh, shit.
583 00:24:55 What is Richie doing here?
584 00:24:57 He been working on this shit, like, two weeks, okay?
585 00:24:59 So, look, I haven't heard it, either.
586 00:25:02 So, before you start complaining,
587 00:25:03 at least give the man a listen.
588 00:25:06 - Hi. - Richie Williams.
589 00:25:07 R-Dub... that's what they call me.
590 00:25:08 - Yeah. Nice to meet you. - I feel like we met.
591 00:25:11 The Met Ball or the Oscar awards?
592 00:25:13 - Huh. Maybe. - Or a rave? You ever go to raves?
593 00:25:15 Don't go to raves, Richie.
594 00:25:16 Well, we're gonna go to one with this remix.
595 00:25:18 - Let me show you... - Okay.
596 00:25:20 Richie Williams' version of "Bad Girl."
597 00:25:22 Mm-hmm.
598 00:25:26 Yeah.
599 00:25:28 Bad... girl
600 00:25:32 - Signature sound right there. - Yep.
601 00:25:38 Is that dope, or is that dope?
602 00:25:41 Trick question. This is dope.
603 00:25:43 - Gotcha. - We know that. - All of it.
604 00:25:46 - What are you doing here, Maggie? - Um...
605 00:25:48 Richie Williams. R-Dubs.
606 00:25:50 Grammy Award winner.
607 00:25:51 I'm working on the album. If you want to
608 00:25:52 sit in the, uh, session, I can mentor you a little bit.
609 00:25:54 Uh, it's important for me to raise women up, you know?
610 00:25:56 - Come on in here, sweetheart. - Come on, man.
611 00:25:58 We ain't got time for that, okay?
612 00:26:00 All right. Let's get back into it.
613 00:26:01 Let's focus on this. Don't worry about her.
614 00:26:02 I mean, I'm... Kind of feels done.
615 00:26:03 Let's talk about it.
616 00:26:05 This version of "Bad Girl."
617 00:26:06 The old one's kind of old, right?
618 00:26:07 Feels old or whatever. I feel like this one
619 00:26:09 spiced it up a little bit. Feels global now.
620 00:26:12 Global, all right?
621 00:26:13 Matter of fact, intergalactical.
622 00:26:15 - Intergalactical. - That's that EDM stuff, man.
623 00:26:17 This is just what the doctor ordered.
624 00:26:18 Grace, may I please speak with you for a moment?
625 00:26:20 - What? - Um, well,
626 00:26:22 - I just, um, wanted to... - Oh, my God, spit it out.
627 00:26:25 I... I did a cut of the album.
628 00:26:27 - Wh... - I did a cut.
629 00:26:29 Seth helped me.
630 00:26:31 You hadn't hired anybody to do it yet,
631 00:26:33 and I didn't want to tell you or Jack.
632 00:26:35 Hey, hey. We can hear y'all.
633 00:26:37 Y'all know it's a damn microphone in there, right?
634 00:26:39 How long have you been working on this?
635 00:26:42 I came in before work and after work
636 00:26:43 and whenever I could.
637 00:26:45 - I should have asked you. - Yeah.
638 00:26:47 I just wanted to take a shot.
639 00:26:50 Do you want to hear it?
640 00:26:52 - Okay. I... - Hell nah.
641 00:26:54 This is the spine of the song.
642 00:26:57 You're always talking about how there has to be a heartbeat,
643 00:26:59 something to hold onto and then give away,
644 00:27:02 and this is it.
645 00:27:03 Hanky's been playing this drum track
646 00:27:05 for 20 years, and it still sounds as tight as it did
647 00:27:08 on the day you recorded it.
648 00:27:10 - Richard. - R-Dawg.
649 00:27:11 Did you redo this with a synth?
650 00:27:13 It's actually called cross synthesis,
651 00:27:15 which I invented, which takes one synth
652 00:27:17 and cancels the other out when they play at the same time.
653 00:27:19 Sounds dope.
654 00:27:20 That doesn't make any sense.
655 00:27:21 - Yeah, it does. - It does.
656 00:27:23 You've heard of cross synthesis, right?
657 00:27:24 No, but it don't matter.
658 00:27:26 - You the producer. - Yeah.
659 00:27:27 You took out the backup singers?
660 00:27:29 They're kind of old-sounding, I mean, honestly.
661 00:27:30 We got plug-ins that do that stuff.
662 00:27:32 - Ah. - We don't even need backup singers anymore.
663 00:27:35 I put my voice in there and stacked it,
664 00:27:37 - put some Auto-Tune. - Bad... girl
665 00:27:38 It sounds brand-new. Sounds great.
666 00:27:39 - Grace, do you hear this? - Bad...
667 00:27:42 You are the song.
668 00:27:44 You should not be buried under all this flashy bullshit.
669 00:27:48 Sure, the track needs some mixing and some editing,
670 00:27:51 but you could release your demos,
671 00:27:53 and they would be way better
672 00:27:55 than anything that he's ever, ever done.
673 00:27:58 Yeah, right.
674 00:27:59 I actually think you should release your demos,
675 00:28:01 because I've heard them, and they're unbelievable.
676 00:28:02 Who the hell you think you are? Missy Elliott?
677 00:28:05 Who releases demos?
678 00:28:06 How you gonna come in here and insult
679 00:28:07 - my man Richie? - Plenty of artists. Bob Dylan...
680 00:28:08 - Okay, okay, okay. - Go to Starbucks.
681 00:28:10 Everybody, stop.
682 00:28:14 Margaret, never talk to anyone
683 00:28:17 that Jack has hired that way again, do you understand?
684 00:28:19 Yeah.
685 00:28:20 - Okay. - Yes.
686 00:28:22 - Never. - Never.
687 00:28:23 We got a hit.
688 00:28:25 We got a big one.
689 00:28:27 It's a hit.
690 00:28:28 - My version, not hers. - Don't worry about hers, man.
691 00:28:31 - Oh, I'm not. - See what I'm dealing with here?
692 00:28:33 She was kind of mean, right?
693 00:28:34 - She is very abrasive. - Use her cut.
694 00:28:36 - What? - Wha...
695 00:28:38 I'm still getting paid, right?
696 00:28:43 Maggie. Maggie!
697 00:28:46 Come here.
698 00:28:49 I don't know what planet you come from
699 00:28:51 where rattling off every little opinion
700 00:28:53 that's rolling around in that brain of yours
701 00:28:56 is considered a skill.
702 00:28:57 But...
703 00:28:59 I was right.
704 00:29:00 This is not about being right
705 00:29:02 in the studio for a moment in time.
706 00:29:05 This is a marathon.
707 00:29:06 I'm sorry, I disagree. I think if she put out
708 00:29:08 something like that... oh, my God.
709 00:29:11 Obviously.
710 00:29:13 We would never put out garbage like that.
711 00:29:17 But that's besides the point.
712 00:29:19 It took me months to get them in a studio together.
713 00:29:24 Months.
714 00:29:25 Off the off chance she might say,
715 00:29:27 "Hey, Jack, I want to do a remix album."
716 00:29:30 And I say, "I got the perfect person.
717 00:29:33 "Oh, damn.
718 00:29:35 "We can't work with him anymore
719 00:29:37 "because your dumbass assistant insulted the man,
720 00:29:41 "and he don't want to work with you no more.
721 00:29:44 He'd rather do Rihanna."
722 00:29:48 Well, I... I apologize for that.
723 00:29:54 And-and now that I'm the producer,
724 00:29:57 I will look for my replacement.
725 00:29:59 Do you know how long it took for Seth
726 00:30:02 to get a little-bitty engineering credit?
727 00:30:05 Being a producer is about having a point of view
728 00:30:11 that you've earned over years of hard work.
729 00:30:15 It don't happen like this.
730 00:30:17 You're not a producer. You're not a artist.
731 00:30:21 You're not a manager.
732 00:30:22 If you want to be a producer,
733 00:30:26 you find your own goddamn clients
734 00:30:29 and stay the hell out of mine.
735 00:30:35
736 00:30:51 This is what we're gonna do. We're gonna go in there.
737 00:30:54 Then we're gonna get some drinks,
738 00:30:55 and then we are going to find him.
739 00:30:57 - Ah. Yeah. - I'll give him the spiel,
740 00:30:59 and then we're just gonna leave as quickly as possible.
741 00:31:01 No, we don't have to leave so quickly.
742 00:31:02 We're having fun. We're hanging out.
743 00:31:04 When was the last time you went to a party?
744 00:31:06 - Do work parties count? - No.
745 00:31:07 I went, technically, to Elton John's, um, Oscar party.
746 00:31:10 That doesn't count.
747 00:31:11 You stood outside the entire time.
748 00:31:13 Whoa, he has a pool?
749 00:31:16 Do any of them have jobs?
750 00:31:19 Hi. Excuse me.
751 00:31:20 - Do you have a job? - I'm a model.
752 00:31:22 Okay.
753 00:31:23 It's a Wednesday.
754 00:31:25 I didn't think you'd ever wear it.
755 00:31:27 What is... Oh, my God.
756 00:31:29 Wait, I thought you said he performed at a grocery store,
757 00:31:32 not that he owned it.
758 00:31:33 - You ready? - Yes, I'm coming.
759 00:31:35 Yeah, I'm ready.
760 00:31:36 Oh. My drink.
761 00:31:38 - Ooh! - Oh, my God.
762 00:31:39 - Is it bad? - Oh, my...
763 00:31:41 Ugh, this is so crazy.
764 00:31:43 I know. Why does he have a blow-dryer?
765 00:31:46 I don't even know him.
766 00:31:48 "Hey, man, um, from last week.
767 00:31:50 "I just want you to remind yourself of me,
768 00:31:53 "and I would like to tell you
769 00:31:54 "that I'm just a personal assistant,
770 00:31:56 "but I'd love to produce your music,
771 00:31:57 - if you got any." - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
772 00:32:00 Look, all I do is basically
773 00:32:02 clean up biohazardous materials,
774 00:32:03 but I get to walk around and call myself a doctor.
775 00:32:06 That's not all you do.
776 00:32:07 Exactly. Do not sell yourself short.
777 00:32:09 - Uh... I'm... - You just produced
778 00:32:11 a live Grace Davis album for no money and no credit.
779 00:32:14 And you're gonna do it again. You know why?
780 00:32:16 Because you're following your dream.
781 00:32:18 No, that's not my dream. I don't want to do that again.
782 00:32:20 I'd love to get money and credit.
783 00:32:22 God, he has so many products.
784 00:32:23 Ooh.
785 00:32:24 Feels like we shouldn't go through his stuff yet,
786 00:32:26 - 'cause we don't even know him. - Well, I've done it,
787 00:32:28 and here we are. Look, you need to pull yourself together
788 00:32:30 and tell your vision-impaired, fresh-breathed client
789 00:32:32 that you are a producer.
790 00:32:34 I am not a...
791 00:32:37 You are so lucky, Maggie.
792 00:32:39 So you get out there,
793 00:32:40 - and you close that deal. - Okay.
794 00:32:42 You're way too comfortable in his house.
795 00:32:44 - You are. - I am not.
796 00:32:45 - Hello. - Oh, that's you.
797 00:32:47 That's him.
798 00:32:48 Thanks for dressing up.
799 00:32:49 Oh. That's...
800 00:32:52 This is Katie.
801 00:32:53 - She's my roommate. - Katie. Hi.
802 00:32:54 - Nice to meet you. - You're very handsome.
803 00:32:56 - Thank you. - Did you know that Maggie's
804 00:32:58 - a music producer? - No, I didn't.
805 00:33:00 Yeah, she's amazing.
806 00:33:01 I like to say the ear of our generation.
807 00:33:04 Katie, thank you so much for coming to this party.
808 00:33:06 Got it. I'm gonna see how much cheese I can fit into my bag.
809 00:33:09 - Mm. - And then I'm gonna look his house up on Zillow.
810 00:33:12 Please don't.
811 00:33:14 Can't make any promises.
812 00:33:16 - Oh, my God. - You want, uh,
813 00:33:18 another drink to actually drink this time?
814 00:33:20 And here I was thinking you had a crush on me
815 00:33:22 and just had to see me again.
816 00:33:24 Oh, no, I'm just here for the pipes.
817 00:33:26 Babe, I thought you were bringing me a vodka Red Bull.
818 00:33:29 Uh, Theresa, this is Maggie.
819 00:33:31 Maggie's a producer.
820 00:33:32 Cool.
821 00:33:33 I work at SpaceX.
822 00:33:35 Cool.
823 00:33:43 Why don't you come out? DJ for us.
824 00:33:45 Wow.
825 00:33:47 Is that your girlfriend?
826 00:33:49 She's not looking for anything serious.
827 00:33:51 Good for her.
828 00:33:53 Mm-hmm.
829 00:33:54 You have some lipstick.
830 00:33:56 Right here?
831 00:33:57 - All around your face. - Mm.
832 00:33:59 Do you have any songs recorded?
833 00:34:01 Yeah.
834 00:34:02 Can I hear them?
835 00:34:03 Now?
836 00:34:05 Yeah.
837 00:34:12 It's incomprehensible
838 00:34:15 Excitement I've never known
839 00:34:18 I'm up while the whole world sleeps
840 00:34:21 The way the sky falls for me
841 00:34:23 It's deep, deep like the ocean
842 00:34:27 Deep, deep like devotion
843 00:34:29 Deep, deep like the valley
844 00:34:32 Where cold water streams...
845 00:34:36 This is pretty good.
846 00:34:37 Did you write this?
847 00:34:39 Yeah, it took me, like, 20 minutes.
848 00:34:41 The first verse?
849 00:34:42 Whole song.
850 00:34:44 Why are you performing at grocery stores?
851 00:34:48 I like it.
852 00:34:50 It's fun. It's no pressure.
853 00:34:52 It's just... it's nice.
854 00:34:54 Well, you can write.
855 00:34:57 And you've got the voice and the tone
856 00:35:00 and, I mean, an amazing record collection.
857 00:35:03 That Marvin Gaye and...
858 00:35:05 This Elmore James,
859 00:35:06 I had this CD in my car for, like, six years.
860 00:35:09 That was the first album my dad gave me.
861 00:35:11 Really?
862 00:35:16 Well, I, um... I would love to...
863 00:35:19 I mean, if you are...
864 00:35:21 I-I could work with you if you wanted.
865 00:35:25 I'm listening.
866 00:35:28 Well, you have an amazing sound.
867 00:35:30 Thank you.
868 00:35:31 I mean, there's a couple of things that I-I-I...
869 00:35:33 If I may?
870 00:35:34 Please, you may.
871 00:35:36 Um, I think that your producer might, uh, be...
872 00:35:41 sucks.
873 00:35:43 He's a friend of mine, and he does it for free.
874 00:35:45 I mean, what... what exactly do you want to do differently?
875 00:35:51 Well, to start, I would...
876 00:35:54 Your bassist is way too loud.
877 00:35:56 And then I'd probably drop that weird drum track.
878 00:35:58 And then I'd move the bridge up.
879 00:35:59 And then you should definitely be singing into a real mic.
880 00:36:03 I mean, I'm so sorry, but where
881 00:36:05 did you record this, in a closet?
882 00:36:07 Wine cellar.
883 00:36:08 Who?
884 00:36:10 My wine cellar.
885 00:36:11 I thought the acoustics would be better.
886 00:36:13 Ooh.
887 00:36:14 Will you send me the files?
888 00:36:16 No.
889 00:36:17 Please?
890 00:36:22 Come to my show next week.
891 00:36:24 Oh.
892 00:36:26 Um, I... well, I should ask Katie,
893 00:36:29 'cause next week, I was...
894 00:36:30 - What's that? - A jacket.
895 00:36:33 So I'll see you next Friday?
896 00:36:36 Oh, my God. Do you wear this?
897 00:36:38 Oh, my God.
898 00:36:40 What is that?
899 00:36:42 This looks like Stevie Nicks
900 00:36:43 ran over Jason Derulo with her car.
901 00:36:45 - Okay. All right, we're done. - Oh, my God.
902 00:36:47 - Thank you so much. We're good. - That is wild.
903 00:36:49 That's enough. That's enough.
904 00:37:11 Hey, you know who's been up for 37 hours?
905 00:37:14 Me.
906 00:37:17 You dick.
907 00:37:22 So, if you can please just make sure that she takes
908 00:37:25 the, uh, fish oil and the little green one
909 00:37:27 after she eats dinner because they upset her stomach.
910 00:37:29 Wow, you're really the only person I know
911 00:37:31 who can make pills not fun.
912 00:37:33 Wait.
913 00:37:34 Why are you leaving early?
914 00:37:35 You never leave early.
915 00:37:36 Um...
916 00:37:38 because I got to go to this thing at, uh, the airport.
917 00:37:42 'Cause my gr... my gran is, like, demanding...
918 00:37:44 Well, I don't care about any of that.
919 00:37:46 Sorry.
920 00:37:47 And I don't believe it.
921 00:37:48 It sounds like a whole lot of "B"... bull crap.
922 00:37:51 This is exactly what happens.
923 00:37:53 It starts off with a thing,
924 00:37:55 and then you're gonna ask for a weekend off.
925 00:37:56 All of you assistants are the same.
926 00:37:58 You get lured in here by the glitz, the glamour,
927 00:38:02 the swag, the celebrity, the pool house.
928 00:38:04 You live in the pool house.
929 00:38:06 And you could, too.
930 00:38:08 Not at this moment,
931 00:38:10 because I'm not in the market for a roommate,
932 00:38:12 but maybe someday.
933 00:38:14 If you play your cards right.
934 00:38:16 What are you doing?
935 00:38:18 This is all available to you.
936 00:38:21 Ah!
937 00:38:22 Ha. Found them.
938 00:38:24 Wow, I thought you were cleaning the pool.
939 00:38:27 See, these are a gift from Grace.
940 00:38:29 Do I prefer Dior? Of course I do.
941 00:38:31 Am I gonna tell her that?
942 00:38:32 No. I'm gonna be grateful for what I have
943 00:38:35 and for what she's discarded because she's bored with it,
944 00:38:38 'cause then it comes to me.
945 00:38:41 And I can wear it.
946 00:38:43 And you got to start carrying a notebook around
947 00:38:45 to write this stuff down.
948 00:38:47 Margaret!
949 00:38:52 Margaret!
950 00:38:55 Margaret!
951 00:38:57 Margaret!
952 00:39:00 Margaret!
953 00:39:03 Margaret!
954 00:39:05 Hi.
955 00:39:06 What do you think of this?
956 00:39:08 Do you think it's too booby?
957 00:39:09 Mm, yes.
958 00:39:11 Oh.
959 00:39:12 Perfect.
960 00:39:13 You can go.
961 00:39:15 Oh. Okay, great. Thank you so much.
962 00:39:17 No, not you. You guys can go.
963 00:39:19 - Thank you. - Oh.
964 00:39:21 - Thanks. - Okay.
965 00:39:22 - Okay, bye. - Bye, Miss Davis.
966 00:39:24 - Well, Margaret. - Yeah?
967 00:39:25 Are you sure all of this is still okay with you?
968 00:39:30 Um...
969 00:39:31 'Cause after that little show
970 00:39:34 at the recording studio, I'm... I'm not sure.
971 00:39:39 Because if there is something else you want to be doing,
972 00:39:41 I don't want you to be here if you don't want to be here.
973 00:39:46 No, Grace, I, um...
974 00:39:50 - Yes? - I want to be here.
975 00:39:52 Good.
976 00:39:54 Because I want to go through my closet
977 00:39:56 and donate things that aren't sparking joy or whatever.
978 00:39:59 Yeah, right now?
979 00:40:00 Yeah.
980 00:40:02 Great.
981 00:40:07 Joy.
982 00:40:08 - Definitely joy. - Joy.
983 00:40:10 Oh, my God.
984 00:40:12 Mm.
985 00:40:13 - Joy. - Joyful.
986 00:40:15 How's everybody doing?
987 00:40:17 Yeah, that's what I like to hear.
988 00:40:19 Well, I'm David Cliff, and this is my band, and, uh,
989 00:40:22 we're gonna play a couple songs for y'all, if that's all right.
990 00:40:25 All right.
991 00:40:32 Obviously, I'm keeping the Gianni Versace.
992 00:40:36 - Obviously. - Yeah.
993 00:40:39 All right. So we did all the evening wear.
994 00:40:43 Let's do the early-evening wear.
995 00:40:45 - Come on. - Okay.
996 00:40:48 All right,
997 00:40:49 I've got one more song for y'all tonight.
998 00:40:51 Oh, come on!
999 00:40:55 Thanks for coming.
1000 00:41:02 I, yeah
1001 00:41:05 I'm so in love with you
1002 00:41:10 Whatever you wanna do
1003 00:41:14 Is all right with me, yeah...
1004 00:41:18 Wow, I didn't think you'd show up.
1005 00:41:20 Well, we had a deal.
1006 00:41:21 Ah, okay.
1007 00:41:23 So, what'd you think?
1008 00:41:24 Um, uh, well, that was a great song choice.
1009 00:41:27 Huh.
1010 00:41:28 And you sounded incredible.
1011 00:41:29 Really good.
1012 00:41:31 Great start. What else?
1013 00:41:34 Um, well...
1014 00:41:37 - your band... - I knew it.
1015 00:41:39 You couldn't even last a minute.
1016 00:41:40 - Well, the drummer. - That's my friend.
1017 00:41:42 Is he?
1018 00:41:43 - Is he really? - Here we go.
1019 00:41:44 Here we go again. Wow.
1020 00:41:46 You asked me, and I'm not gonna tell you
1021 00:41:49 that they're great if they're not great.
1022 00:41:52 I know there's a compliment in there somewhere for me,
1023 00:41:55 if you want to be more direct.
1024 00:41:57 Can I show you something?
1025 00:41:59 Is this your car?
1026 00:42:01 Yeah.
1027 00:42:03 Should I sign a waiver?
1028 00:42:08 Okay.
1029 00:42:17 This is more than a feeling
1030 00:42:21 Is this my song?
1031 00:42:23 More than attraction...
1032 00:42:24 Oh, my...
1033 00:42:26 The drum pattern is not bad.
1034 00:42:29 I also brought you up a bit, and I rerecorded the guitar.
1035 00:42:32 Yes, it's good.
1036 00:42:34 It's g... it's good.
1037 00:42:36 You have real talent.
1038 00:42:38 You really do.
1039 00:42:40 Do you need me? No.
1040 00:42:42 But you should want me because I think I can help
1041 00:42:45 bring out an entirely different sound in you.
1042 00:42:48 And if you work with me, I can get you heard
1043 00:42:50 by the right people.
1044 00:42:51 Oh, I'm not worried about that.
1045 00:42:53 I just want to know who else...
1046 00:42:55 who else you working with right now.
1047 00:42:58 A producer never discusses artists
1048 00:43:00 with other artists.
1049 00:43:01 That's just not part of the... those...
1050 00:43:03 - It's... - Okay.
1051 00:43:05 Okay.
1052 00:43:06 How do you, um...
1053 00:43:10 How do you know how to do all of this stuff?
1054 00:43:14 I grew up around music
1055 00:43:17 and musicians and people talking about music.
1056 00:43:19 My dad worked in radio, and my mom was a singer.
1057 00:43:23 And then I went to school for composing,
1058 00:43:25 and then immediately after, I started, um, producing.
1059 00:43:29 If you could point to any time in my life,
1060 00:43:32 good or bad, I could tell you
1061 00:43:33 who I was listening to and how I got through it.
1062 00:43:36 And if I had the opportunity to work with an artist like you
1063 00:43:41 and create something that could maybe make somebody
1064 00:43:45 or anybody feel a little bit less alone,
1065 00:43:48 then I want to be a part of that.
1066 00:43:51 I know how to be a part of that.
1067 00:43:53 So...
1068 00:43:58 The Staple Singers
1069 00:44:00 doing "The Weight," originally by...
1070 00:44:03 The Band.
1071 00:44:04 The Band.
1072 00:44:06 I was feelin' 'bout a half past dead
1073 00:44:09 I just needed someplace
1074 00:44:11 All right, when do we start?
1075 00:44:13 Where I could lay my head...
1076 00:44:16 - Now. - Now?
1077 00:44:19 Well, I... No, actually, I have to...
1078 00:44:21 Um, uh, tomorrow or, you know, when I can find time.
1079 00:44:25 I'll have my... my office reach out.
1080 00:44:27 The office. All right.
1081 00:44:29 Okay, get out!
1082 00:44:30 I got to go.
1083 00:44:32 - Come on. - What you talking about?
1084 00:44:33 It's a Friday night.
1085 00:44:35 I know. I have to work in the morning.
1086 00:44:36 I'm in demand... by an artist
1087 00:44:39 who doesn't have their shirts custom-made.
1088 00:44:43 And put the load right on me...
1089 00:44:51 It's good, though, right?
1090 00:44:52 And went lookin' for a place to hide...
1091 00:44:56 Coming up next,
1092 00:44:57 Grace Davis is set to release a live album
1093 00:45:00 recorded at her tenth world tour.
1094 00:45:02 The music icon has remained a remarkably private person.
1095 00:45:06 She's never married or had children
1096 00:45:08 and is tight-lipped about her plans for the future.
1097 00:45:10 All her fans are wondering,
1098 00:45:13 when can they expect another hit?
1099 00:45:15 But first, hit maker Cardi B on what it's like
1100 00:45:18 to have yet another number one song.
1101 00:45:22 You okay?
1102 00:45:25 Do I not look okay?
1103 00:45:27 No, you look great. A-Amazing.
1104 00:45:29 Well, good, 'cause Michael B. Jordan's
1105 00:45:31 coming over tonight.
1106 00:45:32 Here?
1107 00:45:34 - You got to be out of here by 5:00. - Okay.
1108 00:45:36 And can you get me everything off the Jon & Vinny's menu?
1109 00:45:39 Uh, the dessert section, too?
1110 00:45:42 I don't eat dessert.
1111 00:45:43 Okay.
1112 00:45:45 Can you make sure the sexecology oil
1113 00:45:49 is upstairs in my bathroom?
1114 00:45:54 What we gonna do with this?
1115 00:46:02 Drive over the limit with my eyes on you
1116 00:46:06 I drive over the limit with my mind on you
1117 00:46:09 Why you always getting in the back seat?
1118 00:46:13 Yeah. Right there.
1119 00:46:16 I drive over the limit
1120 00:46:18 With my eyes on you
1121 00:46:20 I drive over the limit with my mind on you
1122 00:46:23 Why you always getting
1123 00:46:24 - In the back se... - What's that?
1124 00:46:26 Wh...
1125 00:46:27 Oh, my God!
1126 00:46:30 I'm really, really
1127 00:46:31 so sorry about your face.
1128 00:46:32 - Uh-huh. - But let's just be honest
1129 00:46:34 and say that that wasn't really the best place to sit.
1130 00:46:40 Who's that?
1131 00:46:42 Uh, my dad, David Cliff Senior.
1132 00:46:44 That's your dad?
1133 00:46:46 - Yeah. - Wow.
1134 00:46:47 Sax player.
1135 00:46:48 He plays better than anyone else I know.
1136 00:46:50 So, you said your mom was a singer?
1137 00:46:53 Well, she was. Um, she died when I was six.
1138 00:46:56 - Oh, I'm sorry. - That's okay.
1139 00:46:58 Um, she, uh, met my dad
1140 00:47:00 backstage at a Paul Simon concert.
1141 00:47:02 My dad was there covering the show for work.
1142 00:47:05 And they met, and then she moved in with him the next day,
1143 00:47:08 and they got married a month later.
1144 00:47:11 Pretty crazy.
1145 00:47:12 Not that crazy.
1146 00:47:15 What about your mom and dad?
1147 00:47:16 Never married.
1148 00:47:18 My mom, um, she left me with my dad when I was little.
1149 00:47:23 And, um, it was complicated.
1150 00:47:26 I don't know.
1151 00:47:27 My dad's cool, though.
1152 00:47:29 Pissed I don't play sax, but...
1153 00:47:32 you know, he... he's there for me.
1154 00:47:34 - Yeah. - How's your head?
1155 00:47:35 Let's see.
1156 00:47:38 - Ooh. - "Ooh," what?
1157 00:47:40 - Are you laughing at me? - Oh, man.
1158 00:47:41 This is my moneymaker, so I don't really
1159 00:47:43 get what's funny.
1160 00:47:46 So, composing major...
1161 00:47:49 can you play?
1162 00:47:50 This keyboard?
1163 00:47:52 Whichever one you like.
1164 00:47:54 Typically, I'm just... I'm-I'm in the studio.
1165 00:47:56 I'm, like, behind the boards, and I allow, you know,
1166 00:48:00 the artist to... create.
1167 00:48:04 - So... - F.
1168 00:48:06 Uh-huh. To E minor.
1169 00:48:11 - That? - Yeah, like that.
1170 00:48:13 So it's just, uh...
1171 00:48:22 To E. Yeah.
1172 00:48:25 Uh-huh. To F.
1173 00:48:27 - Oh, shit. - Hey.
1174 00:48:29 Stop interrupting yourself.
1175 00:48:32 Let's try it again.
1176 00:48:35 Okay. It was...
1177 00:48:40 - Uh, that? - Mm-hmm.
1178 00:48:42 Nah, but I like that. Do it fast like that again.
1179 00:48:44 Yeah, punch it. Punch it more.
1180 00:48:48 Yeah. Mm.
1181 00:48:51 And then what about...
1182 00:48:55 All right.
1183 00:48:57 - Sing it a little. - Mm.
1184 00:48:58 Drive over the limit with my eyes on you
1185 00:49:02 I drive over the limit with my mind on you
1186 00:49:06 Get up in the front, I'm not a taxi
1187 00:49:09 - Oh, no - That sounded good.
1188 00:49:10 - Sounds sexy. Yeah. - Can we do it again?
1189 00:49:13 - Yeah, we can do it again. - Okay.
1190 00:49:17 Eyes on you
1191 00:49:18 I drive over the limit with my mind on you
1192 00:49:22 Why you always getting in the back seat?
1193 00:49:26 Get up in the front, I'm not a taxi
1194 00:49:29 Oh, no, drive over the limit...
1195 00:49:31 So, Thursday, when we record,
1196 00:49:33 I have these really incredible...
1197 00:49:35 I can't. Playing a bat mitzvah.
1198 00:49:37 - What? - What?
1199 00:49:39 I don't... David, I don't understand.
1200 00:49:41 The... Clearly, you're not doing these gigs for money.
1201 00:49:44 I don't...
1202 00:49:45 I made a commitment.
1203 00:49:46 Okay.
1204 00:49:47 I'm not gonna beg you to take this seriously.
1205 00:49:50 Don't beg me.
1206 00:49:52 David, you have an incredible voice.
1207 00:49:57 When you sing, it's restrained
1208 00:50:00 and impassioned and nostalgic, and...
1209 00:50:03 people outside of various L.A. community centers
1210 00:50:06 should hear it.
1211 00:50:07 Yeah, but what if I'm not good enough?
1212 00:50:09 - What? - What if I'm just
1213 00:50:11 some douchebag who thought he could be a singer
1214 00:50:13 like everybody else, and then what?
1215 00:50:16 Then what am I supposed to do?
1216 00:50:20 Oh, my God.
1217 00:50:21 What?
1218 00:50:23 You're insecure.
1219 00:50:25 This is amazing.
1220 00:50:27 I'm coming at you with
1221 00:50:29 some deep-seated anxiety right now, and...
1222 00:50:32 No, you're just self-sabotaging,
1223 00:50:34 and I can work with that.
1224 00:50:37 Sorry.
1225 00:50:40 Hello? Hello?
1226 00:50:42 Oh, okay. I will...
1227 00:50:44 Yes, I'll be right there.
1228 00:50:45 Okay.
1229 00:50:47 Um, that was another client, so I have to go.
1230 00:50:51 You're amazing.
1231 00:50:53 - All right. - And I will see you soon.
1232 00:50:55 - So... - And we will continue this conversation.
1233 00:50:58 - Yes. - Okay, bye.
1234 00:51:01 Good night, Maggie.
1235 00:51:03 Thank you. Very nice.
1236 00:51:08 Wait.
1237 00:51:09 Is this your car?
1238 00:51:11 Why do people keep asking me that? Yeah.
1239 00:51:13 You need to ask your boss for a raise.
1240 00:51:19 That's so funny.
1241 00:51:21 Do you get it? Because I'm your boss.
1242 00:51:25 Hey. Do you get it?
1243 00:51:27 Wait, pull over. Right here.
1244 00:51:29 Right here, right here, right here.
1245 00:51:30 Hey. Can I get two carnitas, please?
1246 00:51:34 And one of them should be chicken,
1247 00:51:36 with hot sauce.
1248 00:51:39 So, Michael B. Jordan insisted
1249 00:51:43 that we leave my house and go to a hotel
1250 00:51:47 because he had...
1251 00:51:50 this whole proposal planned.
1252 00:51:55 We have very different problems.
1253 00:51:58 What are your problems, Margaret?
1254 00:52:00 - Well, I mean... - I'm hungry.
1255 00:52:02 - Oh. Um... - I'm so hungry.
1256 00:52:04 - Okay. - Is the food coming, sir?
1257 00:52:07 Ma'am, we've been over this.
1258 00:52:09 We are not a drive-through.
1259 00:52:11 Okay, well, it should be.
1260 00:52:13 - It could be. - Oh, my God.
1261 00:52:15 Is that Grace Davis?
1262 00:52:16 - No. - Hi.
1263 00:52:17 Hi. I love you so much.
1264 00:52:18 - I love you. - Can I take a picture with you?
1265 00:52:20 - Wow. Love, huh? - I know.
1266 00:52:21 - Sure. Yeah. - It's Grace Davis!
1267 00:52:22 I'm gonna get out. Hi.
1268 00:52:25 - Hi. This isn't my car. - Hi.
1269 00:52:27 - Hello. - Okay, followers, look who I am with.
1270 00:52:29 - It's Grace Davis! - Okay, one, two.
1271 00:52:31 Hi, Grace Davis!
1272 00:52:32 Hi!
1273 00:52:33 You look gorgeous.
1274 00:52:34 So glad I called you.
1275 00:52:37 Uh, usually, you call Gail.
1276 00:52:39 Are you kidding me?
1277 00:52:41 It's after 10:00.
1278 00:52:43 Miss Gail is passed out.
1279 00:52:47 Anyway, I thought you would enjoy this time with me
1280 00:52:50 'cause you're always hanging around me,
1281 00:52:53 just hanging around me.
1282 00:52:55 That's my job.
1283 00:52:57 You know what I mean.
1284 00:53:01 Mm.
1285 00:53:02 Would you get married?
1286 00:53:05 Oh, my God.
1287 00:53:06 Not you, too.
1288 00:53:08 I know that everybody wonders, "Is Grace gonna find a man?"
1289 00:53:13 I mean...
1290 00:53:15 "Who's gonna put a ring on it?"
1291 00:53:18 You know what?
1292 00:53:21 I'm happy with me.
1293 00:53:24 I am happy with me.
1294 00:53:26 Yup.
1295 00:53:29 I just thought that maybe,
1296 00:53:31 if you were gonna do anybody the favor,
1297 00:53:33 then it may as well be Michael B. Jordan.
1298 00:53:36 I almost did.
1299 00:53:39 Once.
1300 00:53:41 - Really? - Yeah.
1301 00:53:43
1302 00:53:45 But I was... I was too young.
1303 00:53:50 Mm.
1304 00:53:54 We were in love and...
1305 00:53:56 the whole thing.
1306 00:54:00 Mm-hmm.
1307 00:54:02 It was before all this happened.
1308 00:54:07 Then it did.
1309 00:54:10 And I didn't choose him.
1310 00:54:14 Obviously.
1311 00:54:17 I didn't want it.
1312 00:54:19 I don't want it.
1313 00:54:22 I chose those countertops in the bathroom.
1314 00:54:26 They were like, "You can have two sinks."
1315 00:54:28 And I was like, "No."
1316 00:54:30 "I want one... one big one."
1317 00:54:35 - It is a very big sink. - Mm-hmm.
1318 00:54:39 What's happening?
1319 00:54:43 Why are you all dressed up?
1320 00:54:47 Why did you have to
1321 00:54:49 steal from the needy
1322 00:54:53 and take this $3,000 Saint Laurent jacket?
1323 00:54:56 - How much? - Oh, wait.
1324 00:54:59 - Were you with a boy? - No.
1325 00:55:01 Yes, you were!
1326 00:55:03 You were on a date.
1327 00:55:04 Okay, okay.
1328 00:55:10 Does he know who I am?
1329 00:55:17 Well, he lives on Earth, so yeah.
1330 00:55:20 Listen to me, Margaret.
1331 00:55:24 I am a very big draw.
1332 00:55:26 Okay?
1333 00:55:27 So you... you make sure he's with you for you, okay?
1334 00:55:32 - Okay. - Okay.
1335 00:55:34 Thank you.
1336 00:55:36
1337 00:55:57
1338 00:56:04 So, this is just practice.
1339 00:56:06 You don't...
1340 00:56:08 There's no band. It's just you.
1341 00:56:10 - No pressure. Okay? - Mm-hmm.
1342 00:56:12 Just pretend you're at a bat mitzvah.
1343 00:56:14 Hmm.
1344 00:56:19 Okay.
1345 00:56:21 - You want to try one? - Mm-hmm.
1346 00:56:24 You're like track eight
1347 00:56:27 On my favorite record
1348 00:56:29 Nobody knows your name
1349 00:56:33 But I... Sorry.
1350 00:56:35 I'm way ahead of it.
1351 00:56:36 He's just a little nervous.
1352 00:56:37 - Yep. - Yeah, yeah. It's totally fine.
1353 00:56:39 - Okay. - We got all night.
1354 00:56:40 Can I just go again from the top?
1355 00:56:42 - Yeah, whenever you're ready. - If that's cool.
1356 00:56:45 Thanks.
1357 00:56:47 You're like track eight
1358 00:56:51 On my favorite record

1361 00:57:00 It's okay. You just got to loosen up a little bit.
1362 00:57:02 You're gonna get there.
1363 00:57:03 - All right. - Um, I'm gonna come in.

1367 00:57:15 Yeah.
1368 00:57:17 It's really beautiful in here, isn't it?
1369 00:57:19 Yeah.
1370 00:57:20 Did you know that that was Sam Cooke's original mic?
1371 00:57:24 - Are you serious? - Yeah.
1372 00:57:25 Yeah, Seth and I found it at an auction last year.

1382 00:57:58 - Have you heard it? - Yeah, when he's like...

1395 00:58:34 Nobody knows your name
1396 00:58:38 But I would die for you
1397 00:58:41 You're like a date
1398 00:58:44 That nobody paid for
1399 00:58:47 You walk out the door with the check in your pocket
1400 00:58:52 But you just forgot it
1401 00:58:56 Just trying to figure you out with
1402 00:58:59 Every word that comes out of your mouth
1403 00:59:02 Mouth
1404 00:59:04 Mouth
1405 00:59:07 Ooh, I drive over the limit with my eyes on you
1406 00:59:12 I drive over the limit with my mind on you
1407 00:59:15 Why you always getting in the back seat?
1408 00:59:19 Get up in the front, I'm not a taxi
1409 00:59:21 Oh, no.
1410 00:59:39
1411 00:59:50 Beautiful.
1412 00:59:53 Was that really Sam Cooke's mic?
1413 00:59:55 No.
1414 00:59:57 - Can I hear that again? - Mm-hmm.
1415 00:59:58 I drive over the limit with my eyes on you
1416 01:00:02 I drive over the limit
1417 01:00:03 With my mind on you
1418 01:00:06 Why you always getting in the back seat?
1419 01:00:09 Get up in the front, I'm not a taxi
1420 01:00:12 Oh, no
1421 01:00:13 I don't stop looking at, looking at you
1422 01:00:16 I don't stop looking at, looking at you
1423 01:00:20 Let me wipe the sugar from your lips
1424 01:00:22 I don't understand you talking sweet like this...
1425 01:00:25 I'm sorry.
1426 01:00:26 I'm sorry.
1427 01:00:41 I drive over the limit
1428 01:00:43 - With my eyes on you - Drive over the limit
1429 01:00:46 I drive over the limit with my mind on you
1430 01:00:48 Drive over the limit
1431 01:00:49 Why you always getting in the back seat?
1432 01:00:52 I can't concentrate with you behind me.
1433 01:00:54 It's so good.
1434 01:00:57 Oh, my God.
1435 01:00:59 "Sea Dust."
1436 01:01:03 That makes a huge difference.
1437 01:01:06 Um, no big deal or anything.
1438 01:01:08 Just your girl doing open-heart surgery.
1439 01:01:14 Okay, cool. Sorry.
1440 01:01:15 Back to your art.
1441 01:01:20 Everything we do is meaningless.
1442 01:01:26 - Oh, such a good song. - Jam.
1443 01:01:28 Yeah.
1444 01:01:31 Did you know that the guy who produced this song
1445 01:01:34 also did "Bills, Bills, Bills"
1446 01:01:35 - for Destiny's Child? - I did know that.
1447 01:01:37 And did you know that he also did a Sinéad O'Connor song?
1448 01:01:40 Did you know that I want to hear the song on the radio?
1449 01:01:43 - Oh. Sorry. - Yeah.
1450 01:01:46 Thanks, Margaret. Let's sing it.
1451 01:01:47 Trying to holla at me
1452 01:01:49 And you're walking
1453 01:01:51 Oh, yes, son, I'm talking to you
1454 01:01:53 If you live at home
1455 01:01:55 With your mama
1456 01:01:56 Oh, yes, son, I'm talking to you
1457 01:01:58 If you have a shorty
1458 01:02:00 And you don't show love
1459 01:02:01 Oh, yes, son, I'm talking to you
1460 01:02:03 Wanna get with me with no money
1461 01:02:07 Oh, no, I don't want...
1462 01:02:13 Grace Davis!
1463 01:02:16 - Oh, oh. - Ah, there she is.
1464 01:02:18 - Hey. How are you? - Hey, hey.
1465 01:02:19 - Hi there. - Hey, man. See you over there.
1466 01:02:20 - Hey, good to see you. - Hey, Dave. How are you?
1467 01:02:23 - Can I get you something to drink? - Oh, no.
1468 01:02:24 I'm fine. Ma-Margaret, you want something?
1469 01:02:26 - No? Okay. - Sparkling? Still?
1470 01:02:28 Well, Grace, thanks for coming in.
1471 01:02:31 - Hmm. - This is Spencer.
1472 01:02:32 He's on national press.
1473 01:02:33 - Hi, Spencer. - Can I just say...
1474 01:02:35 my mom's more excited about me working with you
1475 01:02:37 than when I graduated Stanford.
1476 01:02:39 What was that, like, a week ago?
1477 01:02:42 I told you she was hilarious.
1478 01:02:43 Yeah, that's a good one.
1479 01:02:47 Baby, we are so excited about
1480 01:02:50 your live album release party next week.
1481 01:02:51 Ugh, we're thrilled you okayed Ariana Grande to open for you.
1482 01:02:54 She's amazing.
1483 01:02:56 Her mom loves you, too.
1484 01:02:57 - Spencer. - Yeah.
1485 01:02:58 No more mom stuff.
1486 01:03:00 You guys didn't bring me all the way down here
1487 01:03:03 so you could tell me that, did you?
1488 01:03:06 That's great.
1489 01:03:08 Once the live album is out, we really want to make sure
1490 01:03:11 we think through your next moves.
1491 01:03:13 Yeah, what do you want to do next?
1492 01:03:16 Well, um...
1493 01:03:18 I've been thinking, and...
1494 01:03:22 I think it's time I record a new album.
1495 01:03:31 Um...
1496 01:03:33 Well, I mean, that's one plan.
1497 01:03:36 Um, we've talked about a few different things,
1498 01:03:40 and we really want to know what you want to do.
1499 01:03:43 I mean, where do you envision Grace Davis in the future?
1500 01:03:47 Yeah.
1501 01:03:49 Have you thought any more about the, uh... the Vegas residency?
1502 01:03:52 We talked about Vegas, remember?
1503 01:03:53 We think it's a cool, reliable way
1504 01:03:56 for you to showcase where you're at.
1505 01:04:05 Could be fun.
1506 01:04:06 I mean, I'm-a have fun.
1507 01:04:09 At least I can get a damn drink somewhere.
1508 01:04:11 Price of one.
1509 01:04:14 We'll get you a damn drink.
1510 01:04:15 We're super excited.
1511 01:04:16 And, uh, if you want, I can show you
1512 01:04:18 the slideshow that I put together.
1513 01:04:30 I don't want to talk about it.
1514 01:04:36 I thought you didn't want to do Vegas.
1515 01:04:38 I said I didn't want to talk about it.
1516 01:04:41 It's a big commitment.
1517 01:04:44 You heard what they said.
1518 01:04:45 It's-it's... it's not the same as it used to be.
1519 01:04:51 Yeah.
1520 01:04:52 Some of their ideas weren't terrible.
1521 01:04:54 Yeah. I think a Spotify-curated Christmas album
1522 01:04:56 could be super cool.
1523 01:04:58 Okay, just say it, all right?
1524 01:05:00 I get it. I know what you're thinking.
1525 01:05:02 I'm a sellout. I get it.
1526 01:05:04 That was humiliating. Yep. You got to witness it.
1527 01:05:06 - That was... - What? No.
1528 01:05:07 It's fantastic.
1529 01:05:08 That's not what...
1530 01:05:10 Grace, those pretentious sparkling water blowhards
1531 01:05:16 just spoke to you like they forgot
1532 01:05:18 that you basically built this entire label for them.
1533 01:05:20 - They were just trying to help me. - What?
1534 01:05:23 You've got, like, years of career moves ahead of you.
1535 01:05:26 If you want to do Vegas, then fine, do Vegas.
1536 01:05:29 But don't do it like it's your farewell tour.
1537 01:05:32 It's not over for you.
1538 01:05:33 You said it in there.
1539 01:05:34 You said it... a new album.
1540 01:05:36 That is what you should be doing.
1541 01:05:37 Do you know what they were avoiding saying in there?
1542 01:05:40 What?
1543 01:05:41 In the history of music,
1544 01:05:43 only five women over 40 have ever had a number one hit.
1545 01:05:49 And only one of them was black.
1546 01:05:51 One.
1547 01:05:53 Do you understand that?
1548 01:05:55 No.
1549 01:05:56 You do not understand that.
1550 01:05:58 And none of you guys in there
1551 01:06:00 understand what I have been through.
1552 01:06:04 So, I don't know. Uh, we could just pretend.
1553 01:06:07 We could pretend that we live in some sort of magical world
1554 01:06:10 where, I don't know... let's see...
1555 01:06:12 age and race are not a thing.
1556 01:06:14 And then do you know what the problem is?
1557 01:06:16 I... not the label, not Jack, not you...
1558 01:06:20 have to come up with shit that people give a shit about,
1559 01:06:23 and I don't know how to do that anymore.
1560 01:06:25 I don't know if I know how to do that.
1561 01:06:29 Oh, my God.
1562 01:06:33 I know you've been writing.
1563 01:06:34 What?
1564 01:06:36 I'm sorry, what?
1565 01:06:37 Oh, no, no, no.
1566 01:06:38 Have you been going through my private stuff?
1567 01:06:39 - No. - You know what? No.
1568 01:06:40 - That's not what I did. - No.
1569 01:06:44 I am not here for you.
1570 01:06:46 You are here for me.
1571 01:06:48 I am not your stepping-stone.
1572 01:06:51 You're not a producer, Margaret.
1573 01:06:53 I didn't ask you to produce my song.
1574 01:06:55 And I'm not gonna say thank you, either.
1575 01:06:59 You're an encyclopedia.
1576 01:07:00 You memorize trivia.
1577 01:07:02 You-you handle my itinerary.
1578 01:07:04 You pick peanuts out of kung pao chicken.
1579 01:07:08 You're not the ticket to people's breakthrough.
1580 01:07:11 Okay?
1581 01:07:12 And you know what, those guys in there,
1582 01:07:14 they're way better than you
1583 01:07:16 because they were setting me up for an easy win.
1584 01:07:18 And you, little lady, are setting me up for a fail.
1585 01:07:21 Thank you.
1586 01:07:29
1587 01:07:37 Something I could say
1588 01:07:40 To settle...
1589 01:07:42 You're late.
1590 01:07:44 I mean, what's-what's up, Mags? We doing this or what?
1591 01:07:49 Um, yeah. Let's, uh...
1592 01:07:54 Uh, why don't we just take... take it from, um...
1593 01:08:00 Why don't we take it from, um...
1594 01:08:04 Let's just take it from, um...
1595 01:08:08 Fuck.
1596 01:08:19 Maggie.
1597 01:08:23 What was... what was that?
1598 01:08:27 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay.
1599 01:08:28 You okay? All right.
1600 01:08:31 Okay.
1601 01:08:33 Okay, what's wrong?
1602 01:08:35 Nothing.
1603 01:08:37 Nothing?
1604 01:08:38 - You sure? - No, I'm fine.
1605 01:08:41 - Yeah? - Yeah.
1606 01:08:42 Okay.
1607 01:08:43 - All right. - Mm-hmm.
1608 01:08:44 Okay.
1609 01:08:47 D-Do you not want to do this anymore?
1610 01:08:51 Is that... is that what's wrong? Do you not...
1611 01:08:53 Is that what it is?
1612 01:08:55 No.
1613 01:08:56 - No? - No, no.
1614 01:08:58 I mean, no, I want... I want this more than anything.
1615 01:09:05
1616 01:09:07 I don't know what I'm doing.
1617 01:09:10 You don't?
1618 01:09:11 Mm-mm.
1619 01:09:13 Well, you sure freaked out James when you told him
1620 01:09:15 that if he didn't get his tuning right,
1621 01:09:17 you was gonna run over him, so that's...
1622 01:09:19 Well, that's a really big problem.
1623 01:09:21 Look, Maggie, you got all of us in that room, okay?
1624 01:09:25 I know it wasn't easy.
1625 01:09:27 But, look, you've got that drummer in there,
1626 01:09:29 and I don't know where he came from,
1627 01:09:30 but he's, like... I think he's-he's big-time.
1628 01:09:33 You know?
1629 01:09:34 - Yeah. - Yeah.
1630 01:09:37 So you know what you like.
1631 01:09:41 That's what makes you great.
1632 01:09:46 Just glad I made the cut.
1633 01:09:50 Well...
1634 01:09:52 barely.
1635 01:09:57 Did you come up with that guitar riff in there?
1636 01:10:01 Yeah.
1637 01:10:03 It's pretty good.
1638 01:10:04 I'm pretty good. I did it last night.
1639 01:10:06 It was easy.
1640 01:10:09 You could tighten it up, okay?
1641 01:10:11 Mm-kay. Mm-kay.
1642 01:10:14 So if there's something I could do to twist
1643 01:10:18 And turn back the time
1644 01:10:22 Something I can say
1645 01:10:25 To settle your mind
1646 01:10:28 Something to prove
1647 01:10:34 They don't love you
1648 01:10:36 Like I do.
1649 01:10:41 Whoo!
1650 01:10:43 Yes, yes, yes.
1651 01:10:44 That's what I'm talking about.
1652 01:10:46 Oh, my God, y'all are good.
1653 01:10:48 Okay, let's stop for, uh, a second.
1654 01:10:52 Something's off, yeah?
1655 01:10:53 Yeah. I think...
1656 01:10:55 I feel like it needs some, like, layers, you know?
1657 01:10:59 - A little bit of warmth and... - Yeah.
1658 01:11:01 Um, m-maybe some harmonies.
1659 01:11:02 I can get some backup singers.
1660 01:11:04 Can-can you just do it? I mean, we could... we could always
1661 01:11:06 replace it later. I just want to hear it right now.
1662 01:11:08 I can have somebody here in an hour. It's no... It...
1663 01:11:10 - We-We'll just... - Maggie.
1664 01:11:13 David.
1665 01:11:15 - Maggie. - David, no.
1666 01:11:17 You know the song.
1667 01:11:19 We wrote the song, right?
1668 01:11:21 We've done it a hundred times.
1669 01:11:22 Just come on and do it. It'll be fun.
1670 01:11:24 This is my area, and that's your area.
1671 01:11:27 So, nope.
1672 01:11:28 Maggie, please.
1673 01:11:30 Don't push me, David.
1674 01:11:32 Come on.
1675 01:11:33 Oh, my God. No.
1676 01:11:35 Is there something I could do to twist
1677 01:11:39 And turn back the time?
1678 01:11:43 Something I could say to settle your mind
1679 01:11:49 Something to prove
1680 01:11:55 They don't love you
1681 01:11:57 Like I do.
1682 01:12:03 - Bye. - All right, bye. - Thank you. - Nice job.
1683 01:12:05 - I'll send you those guitar parts, okay? - Good night.
1684 01:12:07 - Hey, it sounds good, man. - Thank you.
1685 01:12:08 - Have a good one, man. You good. - You, too, man.
1686 01:12:10 - Bye, Seth. - Bye.
1687 01:12:11 You're the best.
1688 01:12:14 Love that guy.
1689 01:12:16 - He's pretty good. - Good guy.
1690 01:12:18 Yeah.
1691 01:12:19 - You're not too bad, right? - Oh.
1692 01:12:21 - A little bit of... - Wow.
1693 01:12:22 - Bada... boom. - Yep, and it...
1694 01:12:25 And, uh... and, uh...
1695 01:12:39 Okay.
1696 01:12:42 Okay.
1697 01:12:43 - So, that was a great session, and, um... - Yes.
1698 01:12:46 - I think that everyone feels very good about it. - Mm-hmm.
1699 01:12:51 - Mm-hmm. - So I'll e-mail you.
1700 01:12:54 And, um...
1701 01:12:56 we will chat soon.
1702 01:13:06
1703 01:13:08 What?
1704 01:13:11 Oh, God.
1705 01:13:12 No.
1706 01:13:16 We have a problem with the release party.
1707 01:13:18 Ariana can't perform.
1708 01:13:20 She's trying to finish a six-part album,
1709 01:13:22 and-and she won't leave the studio,
1710 01:13:23 and, uh, th-that's crazy, but...
1711 01:13:26 What about, uh, what's-his-face?
1712 01:13:27 Oh, the guy who hit on us at the Grammys?
1713 01:13:30 - He hit on you. That one. Yes. - The Weeknd?
1714 01:13:31 He is on tour in Europe, and also he has a girlfriend.
1715 01:13:34 Okay, great. Well, um, let me just do your job for you.
1716 01:13:37 - Taylor Swift. - She's writing a memoir.
1717 01:13:40 - Do I need to lecture you... - No.
1718 01:13:42 ...on the importance of an opener for an album release?
1719 01:13:48 Does she need to lecture you, Maggie?
1720 01:13:50 - That was the question. - Okay, Margaret,
1721 01:13:52 I'm not gonna come out there to a cold crowd like an amateur.
1722 01:13:55 You have totally screwed this up.
1723 01:13:57 And I have noticed that you have not been
1724 01:14:00 focused on your job over the last few weeks.
1725 01:14:02 I've noticed that.
1726 01:14:03 I'll fix it.
1727 01:14:05 Because scheduling is in my very limited wheelhouse.
1728 01:14:07 Well, then why don't you find someone
1729 01:14:09 who's not gonna embarrass me?
1730 01:14:11 - I will. - Great. Thank you.
1731 01:14:13 Be nice if you could do your job.
1732 01:14:16 - Dan would love to do it. - Fine.
1733 01:14:18 I don't care. Whatever.
1734 01:14:19 Hey, it's me. Can I come up?
1735 01:14:21 Is this a work thing?
1736 01:14:24 - No. - Then no.
1737 01:14:27 Oh. Hey, David.
1738 01:14:29 You want to come in?
1739 01:14:30 Is she just gonna say this is not a good idea?
1740 01:14:32 This isn't a good idea. We really need to focus
1741 01:14:34 - on our work together... - Yeah. Forget that.
1742 01:14:35 ...and not be blurring the lines and, you know...
1743 01:14:39 - I let him up. - What?
1744 01:14:41 Okay, listen.
1745 01:14:44 Brian Epstein did not sleep with the Beatles.
1746 01:14:47 Jerry Wexler and Aretha? No.
1747 01:14:49 Jimmy Iovine and Springsteen? No.
1748 01:14:51 Actually, he did have a whole thing with Stevie Nicks.
1749 01:14:54 Anyway, David Geffen...
1750 01:14:56 also had a thing with Cher.
1751 01:14:58 And people do think that Brian Epstein was
1752 01:15:00 in love with John Lennon, so there's...
1753 01:15:03 Um, this is not...
1754 01:15:05 I'm not...
1755 01:15:07 You should... I think that you should go.
1756 01:15:10 - Cher's amazing. - Mm-hmm.
1757 01:15:12 So sexy.
1758 01:15:14 Have you ever heard her version of "All I Really Want to Do"?
1759 01:15:19 Now, I ain't lookin' to compete with you
1760 01:15:23 Beat or cheat or mistreat you
1761 01:15:27 Simplify you, classify you
1762 01:15:30 Deny, defy or mystify you
1763 01:15:34 All I really want to do
1764 01:15:40 Is, baby, be friends with you
1765 01:15:45 Baby, be friends with you
1766 01:15:49 Now, I ain't lookin'
1767 01:15:51 To fight with you
1768 01:15:53 Frighten you
1769 01:15:55 Or uptighten you
1770 01:15:57 Drag you down or drain you down
1771 01:16:01 Chain you down or bring you down...
1772 01:16:03 - Hello? - Have you confirmed
1773 01:16:05 Dan Deakins for the release party on Friday?
1774 01:16:07 Yeah, yeah. Of course I did.
1775 01:16:09 - Yeah. - Well, when was you gonna tell me, huh?
1776 01:16:11 - He better be there. - Yeah, it...
1777 01:16:13 Oh.
1778 01:16:16 Okay.
1779 01:16:20 I ain't lookin' to...
1780 01:16:22 What are you doing on Friday?
1781 01:16:24 Hopefully this again.
1782 01:16:26 Or lock you up, analyze...
1783 01:16:29 Hi. It's Maggie.
1784 01:16:31 Hey, girl.
1785 01:16:33 Dan is so excited for Grace's party later.
1786 01:16:35 Well, that's what I was calling to talk to you about.
1787 01:16:38 Do you have a quick sec?
1788 01:16:39 Uh, I'm actually waiting on him to...
1789 01:16:40 get out of a meeting right now, so...
1790 01:16:42 Oh, a meeting. Really?
1791 01:16:44 Wha...
1792 01:16:45 Maggie?
1793 01:16:46 - How did you know we were here? - Please. Everybody knows
1794 01:16:49 this is the first place he comes when he comes to L.A.
1795 01:16:52 - Oh. - How long have you been
1796 01:16:54 Dan's assistant? Like, five years?
1797 01:16:56 - Yeah. - Have you ever wanted
1798 01:16:57 to do something other than be his assistant?
1799 01:16:59 Well, between you and me,
1800 01:17:01 I've been working on a screenplay.
1801 01:17:03 It's 200 pages, but I'm confident.
1802 01:17:05 - It's hilarious. - Okay, great. Yeah.
1803 01:17:06 So, what would you do to get, like,
1804 01:17:08 I don't know, Spielberg to read it?
1805 01:17:11 Uh, anything.
1806 01:17:13 Anything, right? So, I've been working with this
1807 01:17:15 really incredible artist on the side without Grace knowing.
1808 01:17:18 And I know that Dan has already committed
1809 01:17:19 to doing the party on Friday,
1810 01:17:21 but I need you to help me Ocean's 11 this whole thing
1811 01:17:24 and get him to drop out at the last minute, so then I can
1812 01:17:27 swoop in and I can get my artist heard
1813 01:17:29 by Grace and the label,
1814 01:17:30 and then everyone is gonna lose their minds...
1815 01:17:32 clearly, like I've lost my mind...
1816 01:17:33 and I'm gonna change the trajectory of our entire lives.
1817 01:17:37 Roll credits.
1818 01:17:39 I love Ocean's 11.
1819 01:17:46 Hey.
1820 01:17:49 Let me hear him.
1821 01:17:57 I drive over the limit
1822 01:17:58 With my eyes on you
1823 01:18:00 I drive over the limit with my mind on you
1824 01:18:03 Why you always
1825 01:18:04 Getting in the back seat?
1826 01:18:06 I can't concentrate with you behind me
1827 01:18:08 Oh, no...
1828 01:18:13 All right. I'm in.
1829 01:18:15 - Shut up. - It'll piss off Grace,
1830 01:18:17 but she needs a kick in the ass.
1831 01:18:19 Sure you're ready for this... working with musicians?
1832 01:18:23 People like me, Grace, this kid.
1833 01:18:26 Crazy little gods.
1834 01:18:29 Before you know it, you'll be
1835 01:18:30 on tour when you're supposed to be
1836 01:18:32 best man at your brother's wedding.
1837 01:18:33 Or in the studio when your kid's winning the nationals.
1838 01:18:35 Or buying another Rolls-Royce when you've already got three.
1839 01:18:40 No, four.
1840 01:18:41 Yes.
1841 01:18:43 Then you realize, "Damn, I'm writing lyrics
1842 01:18:45 "on a napkin in a toilet, and I'm supposed to be
1843 01:18:49 at the reception for my fourth wedding."
1844 01:18:52 No, fifth wedding.
1845 01:19:00 And you think this kid can handle that?
1846 01:19:03 I do.
1847 01:19:05 And you think that you can handle that?
1848 01:19:07 I do.
1849 01:19:09 And do you want it more than blood?
1850 01:19:12 I do.
1851 01:19:15 Send me the rest of his stuff.
1852 01:19:17 I want to play it in the car.
1853 01:19:19 How long till you play me the song
1854 01:19:22 That will make me belong to you?
1855 01:19:26 One dance with my baby tonight
1856 01:19:29 And we'll dance till the night is through
1857 01:19:32 What you, what you gonna do?
1858 01:19:34 I used to be so ready to run
1859 01:19:38 My philosophy...
1860 01:19:39 Here's pictures of me and Shwayze, man.
1861 01:19:41 This girl right here can sing.
1862 01:19:43 Make sure you tag me in that, girl.
1863 01:19:44 Instagram, all them 'grams you got.
1864 01:19:48 I'm the star now.
1865 01:19:49 And which is my better side, Jack?
1866 01:19:51 Whatever side I'm on.
1867 01:19:53 - This shit is confusing. - Jack. Hi. Sorry.
1868 01:19:55 - Can I just get a quick... One sec. - Yeah.
1869 01:19:57 Thank you, 'cause he talking about VR.
1870 01:19:59 Why can't people just take shrooms like they used to?
1871 01:20:02 Um, Dan is a no-go.
1872 01:20:06 What?
1873 01:20:07 Yeah.
1874 01:20:08 He's... not able to make it.
1875 01:20:11 So I have a plan B.
1876 01:20:13 You said you was gonna handle this.
1877 01:20:15 I am. Trust me.
1878 01:20:17 - Where's your guitar? - It's in the car.
1879 01:20:18 I thought we were going to dinner.
1880 01:20:20 - Why this one? Oh, God. - What? Why not?
1881 01:20:22 Okay. Um, I'm gonna need you to fight the urge
1882 01:20:25 to get really mad at me right now.
1883 01:20:26 Okay. I mean, what's going on?
1884 01:20:28 Um, well, there's been a little change of plans.
1885 01:20:32 First of all...
1886 01:20:36 I'm not a producer.
1887 01:20:37 - What? - I mean, I am,
1888 01:20:39 but I'm not a real one.
1889 01:20:41 I'm a personal assistant.
1890 01:20:43 I'm just... I'm an assistant to a big-time singer
1891 01:20:46 who is having a big party tonight,
1892 01:20:48 and her whole label is gonna be there
1893 01:20:50 and a lot of other music people,
1894 01:20:52 and you're gonna sing for them.
1895 01:20:54 That's gr... That's good, right?
1896 01:20:57 You're an, um... you're-you're an assistant?
1897 01:21:01 Yeah, I am.
1898 01:21:03 I'm an assistant to...
1899 01:21:05 But my boss, Grace Davis, is awesome.
1900 01:21:07 You-you work for Grace Davis?
1901 01:21:09 Yeah.
1902 01:21:12 Wow.
1903 01:21:15 David! Hey, wait.
1904 01:21:16 Does she... does she know about this?
1905 01:21:18 Um, no, not yet, but she's gonna love you.
1906 01:21:21 Do you even have any clients?
1907 01:21:23 I mean, did you lie about that, too?
1908 01:21:26 Oh, my God.
1909 01:21:29 I'm sorry. I should have told you.
1910 01:21:31 And I don't... I'm sorry that I...
1911 01:21:33 Uh, but we can talk about all of this later if...
1912 01:21:35 You know, you're so arrogant.
1913 01:21:37 You don't know shit.
1914 01:21:39 You don't know anything.
1915 01:21:40 You just walk around pretending and shit.
1916 01:21:41 - Like, who does that? - I'm sorry that I lied to you.
1917 01:21:43 It was wrong, but I... we made something really good,
1918 01:21:47 and it deserves a shot.
1919 01:21:48 I think you deserve a shot.
1920 01:21:49 And do you know what's in there?
1921 01:21:51 That could change your whole life.
1922 01:21:52 It could change both of our lives.
1923 01:21:54 I'm not your escape plan, Maggie.
1924 01:21:55 That's...
1925 01:21:57 That's not what I...
1926 01:22:01 David!
1927 01:22:03 And I love this jacket.
1928 01:22:12 Come on in...
1929 01:22:13 All right, well, I'm gonna have
1930 01:22:15 another sip of this, and I'll be right back.
1931 01:22:17 Dumbass millennials.
1932 01:22:22 Did you figure it out?
1933 01:22:26 This was your second chance.
1934 01:22:29 You couldn't handle it.
1935 01:22:31 You want to be a producer?
1936 01:22:35 Producing is about trust and commitment
1937 01:22:40 and taking care of your artist.
1938 01:22:44 You couldn't even do that as an assistant.
1939 01:22:47 Why would I want to work with you?
1940 01:22:49 Why would anyone want to work with you?
1941 01:22:54 We're done.
1942 01:22:57 Grace, it's time.
1943 01:22:59 Thanks, Jack.
1944 01:23:04 If you need a reference for your next job,
1945 01:23:07 have 'em give me a call.
1946 01:23:10 I got a lot to say.
1947 01:23:12 Ladies and gentlemen, Grace Davis.
1948 01:23:17 Hello, everyone.
1949 01:23:19 How are you?
1950 01:23:21 So, it looks like I'll be opening for myself tonight.
1951 01:23:27
1952 01:23:35 Hey, I'm sorry today was such a shit day.
1953 01:23:39 I opened the Adele basket.
1954 01:23:41 Okay.
1955 01:23:56 I would never leave you.
1956 01:23:59 What am I saying?
1957 01:24:00 No, we were all meant to be together.
1958 01:24:03 Come on.
1959 01:24:05 We're going home.
1960 01:24:11
1961 01:24:36 I didn't mean to hurt you
1962 01:24:44 And I'm sorry I made you cry
1963 01:24:52 I'm just a jealous guy
1964 01:24:58 I'm just a jealous guy...
1965 01:25:05 And that is
1966 01:25:07 the late, great Donny Hathaway
1967 01:25:09 doing John Lennon's "Jealous Guy."
1968 01:25:12 Live at The Bitter End.
1969 01:25:14 Live at The Bitter End.
1970 01:25:18 Hey, Magpie.
1971 01:25:20 Hi, Dad.
1972 01:25:22 I got to stop by Johnny's.
1973 01:25:25 Just a few things, then we'll be home.
1974 01:25:29 What do you have to...
1975 01:25:33 All right.
1976 01:25:35
1977 01:25:48 All right.
1978 01:25:50 What do we need?
1979 01:25:52 Want to order some pizza?
1980 01:26:20 Hey, Maggie.
1981 01:26:22 I got to do the morning show.
1982 01:26:25 Want to come with me?
1983 01:26:27 No.
1984 01:26:28 What?
1985 01:26:31 It's the singer-songwriter hour.
1986 01:26:33 Gonna start with Joni Mitchell.
1987 01:26:36 You know what album I'm thinking of?
1988 01:26:40 Guess.
1989 01:26:42 Was she dating David Crosby or Jackson Browne?
1990 01:26:45 James Taylor.
1991 01:26:47 My favorite.
1992 01:26:49 For the Roses.
1993 01:26:51 Attagirl.
1994 01:26:54 Yeah, it's all about being a rock star,
1995 01:26:57 dating a rock star, and heroin.
1996 01:27:01 I can't believe I let her stay with me this long.
1997 01:27:03 She was always in my face.
1998 01:27:04 - Mm-hmm. - "Hi. I'm Maggie.
1999 01:27:06 "I know everything about everything.
2000 01:27:08 "Oh, I'm in the studio.
2001 01:27:09 "I'm a producer.
2002 01:27:11 I can pull off bangs." No, you can't.
2003 01:27:13 No, you can't, because it's not 1970.
2004 01:27:15 Hasn't been 1970 for some years.
2005 01:27:17 - Oh, my God. Okay. - She's a nightmare person.
2006 01:27:20 And she's a bummer to be around.
2007 01:27:21 Why is she always asking if you need water?
2008 01:27:23 I don't know.
2009 01:27:24 And she's constantly listening to your songs
2010 01:27:26 over and over and over again.
2011 01:27:27 Oh, my God.
2012 01:27:30 And honestly, Grace,
2013 01:27:32 I thought she was gonna be the one who would stick it out.
2014 01:27:35 - And I tried to help her. - Did you talk to her?
2015 01:27:37 I did talk to her.
2016 01:27:39 - Okay. - And I tried to tell her
2017 01:27:41 that this was an enormous opportunity.
2018 01:27:44 And I saw myself in her.
2019 01:27:46 You know, before I became
2020 01:27:48 the strong, independent woman that I am today.
2021 01:27:53 I think she's just obsessed with you.
2022 01:27:56 She never asked you for anything, which was weird.
2023 01:27:59 - No, she actually did. - What?
2024 01:28:01 Did she ask you for those "Louis Boutins"?
2025 01:28:03 Because those are mine, Grace.
2026 01:28:06 It goes from Grace to Getty Images to Gail.
2027 01:28:09 No, she wanted to produce.
2028 01:28:13 Who?
2029 01:28:17 Me.
2030 01:28:21
2031 01:28:24 Why?
2032 01:28:28 I mean, you're retired.
2033 01:28:32 I'm not retired.
2034 01:28:37 Yeah, I'm a singer, Gail.
2035 01:28:41 I thought we were retired.
2036 01:28:54 Is she any good?
2037 01:29:10 Next up, a song by the great Lee Moses.
2038 01:29:14 No.
2039 01:29:15 Made famous by the one and only Grace Davis,
2040 01:29:19 here's "Bad Girl."
2041 01:29:21 This is a song about a bad girl...
2042 01:29:24 I really don't want to hear this right now.
2043 01:29:26 Oh...
2044 01:29:27 Your mother loved that song, huh?
2045 01:29:30 I knew the Grace version.
2046 01:29:31 Everybody did, but...
2047 01:29:34 She knew all the covers.
2048 01:29:36 She was obsessed by 'em.
2049 01:29:39 You know the way a song can be one thing
2050 01:29:43 when it comes out of somebody's mouth, and then...
2051 01:29:46 magic, and suddenly it belongs to somebody else.
2052 01:29:50 You know, it's hard.
2053 01:29:52 It's hard for me to think that...
2054 01:29:55 oh, one day, you're gonna wake up,
2055 01:29:57 and you're gonna be older than your mother ever was.
2056 01:30:00 Dad.
2057 01:30:03 But if she knew that you worked for Grace Davis
2058 01:30:07 - for two... - Three.
2059 01:30:09 ...three years...
2060 01:30:12 she'd have been so proud and jealous.
2061 01:30:14 And she wouldn't want you hiding out here.
2062 01:30:17 Well, I really blew it.
2063 01:30:20 But I did learn more than...
2064 01:30:24 I'll ever learn anywhere else working for Grace.
2065 01:30:28 I didn't even know I wanted to be a producer
2066 01:30:30 when I started there.
2067 01:30:33 And what did she say when you told her that?
2068 01:30:36 You did tell her that, right?
2069 01:30:39 She does not want to talk to me...
2070 01:30:42 I think, forever.
2071 01:30:45 Maggie, come on.
2072 01:30:47 You can wallow around here,
2073 01:30:50 or you can try to make things right.
2074 01:30:52 I'm not wallowing.
2075 01:30:54 Well, call her.
2076 01:30:55 Bad girl...
2077 01:31:00 All right. What are you gonna start with tonight?
2078 01:31:02 Hmm.
2079 01:31:03 - Maybe this one. - Uh, nope.
2080 01:31:05 Uh, please.
2081 01:31:08 Not "Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks. That...
2082 01:31:11 It's a great song.
2083 01:31:14 No.
2084 01:31:16 Good evening.
2085 01:31:17 This is Maggie Sherwoode.
2086 01:31:19 I will be covering for Don for the next couple weeks.
2087 01:31:23 I'm gonna kick it off with three different versions
2088 01:31:26 of "The First Cut Is the Deepest,"
2089 01:31:28 originally by Cat Yusuf Stevens.
2090 01:31:31 I would have given you
2091 01:31:33 All of my heart
2092 01:31:36 - But there's someone - Jesus Christ.
2093 01:31:38 Who's torn it apart
2094 01:31:41 And he's taking almost all that I've got
2095 01:31:45 But if you want, I'll try to love again
2096 01:31:50 Baby, I'll try to love again
2097 01:31:53 Oh, no.
2098 01:31:54 But I know
2099 01:31:59 The first cut is the deepest
2100 01:32:03 Baby, I know
2101 01:32:05 The first cut is the deepest
2102 01:32:07 'Cause when it comes to being lucky...
2103 01:32:10 I'm gonna call her.
2104 01:32:12 Okay.
2105 01:32:13 Where's my cart?
2106 01:32:15 It's a long story.
2107 01:32:16 It died.
2108 01:32:18 Hi, Grace.
2109 01:32:19 It's Maggie.
2110 01:32:20 Uh, Margaret Sherwoode.
2111 01:32:22 Um...
2112 01:32:25 I'm sorry about the party.
2113 01:32:28 I-I had this whole plan that was meant to show you
2114 01:32:31 that I could be more than just an assistant,
2115 01:32:33 and then it totally fell apart.
2116 01:32:35 Uh, so...
2117 01:32:38 Um, mostly, though, I just really wanted to say thank you.
2118 01:32:43 'Cause I've always been in total awe of you, Grace,
2119 01:32:45 and to be able to witness the person that I admire the most
2120 01:32:49 do the thing that she does best...
2121 01:32:54 ...was the greatest time of my whole life.
2122 01:32:57 Um...
2123 01:32:59 and I'm so grateful.
2124 01:33:03
2125 01:33:24 Hello.
2126 01:33:25 Are you still mad at me?
2127 01:33:27 Yeah. But I got to talk to you about something.
2128 01:33:30 Well, I just want to tell you
2129 01:33:32 that I'm really sorry about everything, and...
2130 01:33:35 I really just wish we were writing.
2131 01:33:37 Uh, uh, wh-where are you?
2132 01:33:39 Well, actually, about that...
2133 01:33:55 - Oh, my God. - Hi.
2134 01:33:58 What are you doing here?
2135 01:34:00 Your roommate told me where you were.
2136 01:34:02 She was very rude. Yeah.
2137 01:34:05 So, do you know where you sent my suit to be tailored?
2138 01:34:09 I want to wear it tomorrow.
2139 01:34:10 Um, what suit?
2140 01:34:12 The one I wore to Michelle's birthday.
2141 01:34:16 Obama or Williams?
2142 01:34:19 I may or... Mm.
2143 01:34:24 ...may not have said some things that could have...
2144 01:34:28 hurt someone's feelings.
2145 01:34:31 And, uh...
2146 01:34:34 for that...
2147 01:34:36 I forgive myself.
2148 01:34:38 Yeah.
2149 01:34:40 Was that an apology?
2150 01:34:42 Absolutely not.
2151 01:34:43 No. No, it wasn't.
2152 01:34:46 I was pissed
2153 01:34:48 because you messed up and you didn't do your job.
2154 01:34:51 And what else was I supposed to do?
2155 01:34:55 But while you were gone, I, um...
2156 01:35:00 ...missed you.
2157 01:35:04 I took having someone on my side for granted.
2158 01:35:08 - I'm always on... - No, no.
2159 01:35:10 No, no, no. I have, actually, more to say.
2160 01:35:13 I realized it's because...
2161 01:35:16 I trusted you,
2162 01:35:18 and I have never trusted an assistant like that before.
2163 01:35:22 Do not tell Gail.
2164 01:35:25 But you were very good at your job.
2165 01:35:28 And you worked harder than...
2166 01:35:30 anyone else ever has,
2167 01:35:32 and you loved it, and...
2168 01:35:33 which is...
2169 01:35:35 And you love my music.
2170 01:35:37 And I appreciate that.
2171 01:35:42 Well, thank you for coming all the way here to tell me that.
2172 01:35:46 Maggie, that's not why I came here.
2173 01:35:48 I came here to tell you
2174 01:35:52 that the work you did on the live album was very good.
2175 01:35:55 - Really? - Yes.
2176 01:35:57 I would have filled in the audience track
2177 01:35:58 a little bit more, and I think you overmixed
2178 01:36:00 - in some places. - Okay.
2179 01:36:02 But you made me sound...
2180 01:36:06 ...like me.
2181 01:36:09 Me.
2182 01:36:12 I haven't heard her in a long time.
2183 01:36:16 That's the sign of a good producer.
2184 01:36:20 Thanks.
2185 01:36:23 So, it's gonna be tough, you know?
2186 01:36:25 Uh, because it's... it's really bleak out there
2187 01:36:29 for middle-aged singers.
2188 01:36:31 And when I get there, I'll-I'll confirm that.
2189 01:36:35 But for female producers, mm...
2190 01:36:38 I've never worked with a female producer.
2191 01:36:41 Uh, yeah.
2192 01:36:42 Should we give it a go?
2193 01:36:50 - Yes. - Yeah?
2194 01:36:51 Yes. I am available for that.
2195 01:36:54 Mm-hmm.
2196 01:36:57 Okay.
2197 01:36:59 I've been writing.
2198 01:37:01 I knew it.
2199 01:37:04 Do you want to hear 'em?
2200 01:37:05 Yes.
2201 01:37:06 - Now? - So much, yeah.
2202 01:37:13 There are things I know that I should have said
2203 01:37:18 That I couldn't say
2204 01:37:22 To you
2205 01:37:27 I've been hiding in my tower of strength
2206 01:37:32 And there's no room in there
2207 01:37:36 For two
2208 01:37:39 Still
2209 01:37:42 You can't walk through fire
2210 01:37:46 And not bear the scars
2211 01:37:49 Do you feel my heart trembling
2212 01:37:53 Now you're here in my arms?
2213 01:37:55 This is new to me
2214 01:38:02 This is new to me.
2215 01:38:08 It's called "New to Me."
2216 01:38:09 - One second. - Okay.
2217 01:38:11 Really?
2218 01:38:13 Okay. Well, that was...
2219 01:38:15 Just bared my soul.
2220 01:38:16 - Hi. - So, before we talk,
2221 01:38:18 I don't know how you did it, but...
2222 01:38:20 - Dan Deakins loves the songs. - Oh. Yeah.
2223 01:38:23 David?
2224 01:38:24 - Um, this is... - Mom?
2225 01:38:26 What are you doing here?
2226 01:38:27 "Mom"?
2227 01:38:28 Did you send Dan the songs?
2228 01:38:30 Oh, sweetheart, are you recording?
2229 01:38:32 Sorry. Did you just call her "Mom"?
2230 01:38:34 Are you his mom?
2231 01:38:36 Not now, Margaret.
2232 01:38:37 Yeah, I've been working on some stuff with Maggie.
2233 01:38:39 - Oh. - And Dan showed his label the tracks,
2234 01:38:42 and they want to sign me.
2235 01:38:43 So, wait, you...
2236 01:38:45 you were working with him while you were working for me?
2237 01:38:50 Is this the guy... Are you...
2238 01:38:51 Is this...
2239 01:38:52 Is this the boy?
2240 01:38:56 Are you two dating?
2241 01:38:59 - No. - Yeah.
2242 01:39:00 Hey, Magpie, I got some tacos.
2243 01:39:03 Wow. It's, uh...
2244 01:39:07 It's Grace Davis.
2245 01:39:08 That's me.
2246 01:39:11 Uh...
2247 01:39:13 you came on the ferry?
2248 01:39:15 - No, I have a helicopter. - Wow.
2249 01:39:17 - I do. - Yeah.
2250 01:39:19 - I have a helicopter. - Tell everybody.
2251 01:39:21 So...
2252 01:39:23 when you said that you and your mom
2253 01:39:25 just started talking again,
2254 01:39:26 you didn't think to tell me that your mom is Grace Davis?
2255 01:39:30 You didn't tell me you were working for her.
2256 01:39:32 Oh, don't change the subject.
2257 01:39:40 We've met before.
2258 01:39:43 1989, I interviewed you for my radio show on K-SADJ, and...
2259 01:39:48 - It was in L.A. - Yes.
2260 01:39:50 Downtown.
2261 01:39:51 I can't believe you remember that.
2262 01:39:54 Yes.
2263 01:39:55 Oh, my God. Wait.
2264 01:39:57 - Yeah. - You had long hair.
2265 01:39:58 You didn't have the-the beard.
2266 01:40:00 - Yeah, okay. - And that voice.
2267 01:40:02 That's you!
2268 01:40:04 That was a really good show.
2269 01:40:05 I think it was. Yeah.
2270 01:40:07 And you had a pregnant wife.
2271 01:40:08 Yeah. Yeah.
2272 01:40:10 - Yeah. - She used to help me.
2273 01:40:11 And that was Maggie.
2274 01:40:13 What-what...
2275 01:40:14 The one inside the pregnant wife.
2276 01:40:15 Small world.
2277 01:40:19 Fucking long con.
2278 01:40:28 I had him when I was so young.
2279 01:40:30 And I had a chance
2280 01:40:32 to change things for us, and I took it.
2281 01:40:38 I took it.
2282 01:40:42 Who else knows?
2283 01:40:50 Gail.
2284 01:40:54 Jack.
2285 01:40:58 He was there when I had him.
2286 01:41:01 Jack's always there.
2287 01:41:02 I don't... I just don't...
2288 01:41:03 How-how did this...
2289 01:41:06 I know everything about you. I mean...
2290 01:41:09 I have really good lawyers.
2291 01:41:12 Like...
2292 01:41:14 - Damn. - Mm.
2293 01:41:16 Are you gonna tell people?
2294 01:41:18 I wanted to.
2295 01:41:20 Many times.
2296 01:41:22 But he said he wasn't ready.
2297 01:41:25 And after everything I put him through, I... I respect that.
2298 01:41:29 I wanted to help him with his music.
2299 01:41:32 But he was worried that people wouldn't take him seriously
2300 01:41:36 if I was involved, which I understand.
2301 01:41:38 It must have been really, really hard for you.
2302 01:41:42 - Yeah. - For you both. I mean...
2303 01:41:46 Mostly him.
2304 01:41:50 There's a lot of things I wish I had done differently.
2305 01:41:55 We're here now.
2306 01:42:04 He's really good, Grace.
2307 01:42:10 Thank you. Thank you.
2308 01:42:14 Thank you. Thank you so much.
2309 01:42:22 - Oh, my God! - Oh, shit.
2310 01:42:24 - Oh, my God. That was amazing. - Oh, my God.
2311 01:42:26 This is so crazy. This is so crazy.
2312 01:42:27 That was amazing. You have to do it again. Go.
2313 01:42:29 Encore. Encore. Do it. Yeah.
2314 01:42:34 So, uh, before we go, we've got a surprise for y'all.
2315 01:42:38 Someone very special is here tonight.
2316 01:42:41 Oh, my God.
2317 01:42:42 - Is he talking about you? - No.
2318 01:42:43 And she happens to be
2319 01:42:45 a really great singer.
2320 01:42:47 I'm not...
2321 01:42:49 Come on out.
2322 01:42:50 - Okay. - Yep.
2323 01:42:51 - Hold my phone. - Got it. Yep.
2324 01:42:52 - Excuse me, Margaret. - Whoa.
2325 01:42:54 Grace? Oh, my God.
2326 01:42:58 - Okay, that makes a lot more sense. - Sh...
2327 01:43:00 My mom, Grace Davis.
2328 01:43:02 Ooh.
2329 01:43:05 Grace! Grace! Grace!
2330 01:43:07 Grace! Grace! Grace! Grace!
2331 01:43:10 Grace! Grace! Grace!
2332 01:43:12 Grace! Grace! Grace! Grace!
2333 01:43:15 - Excuse me, ladies. Can... - Whoa. Geez.
2334 01:43:16 - Can y'all back up off the stage a little bit. - S-Sorry.
2335 01:43:29 Why
2336 01:43:31 Have I been this way?
2337 01:43:35 Through all of my pleasures
2338 01:43:39 Through all of the pain
2339 01:43:43 I know that hard times
2340 01:43:46 Can get in the way
2341 01:43:50 But even the worst nights
2342 01:43:54 There's nothing I'd change
2343 01:43:58 I've been feeling
2344 01:44:01 Like a fool
2345 01:44:05 They don't love you, they don't love you
2346 01:44:09 Like I do
2347 01:44:12 Is there something I could do to twist
2348 01:44:17 And turn back the time?
2349 01:44:21 Something I could say
2350 01:44:24 To settle your mind
2351 01:44:27 Something to prove
2352 01:44:32 They don't love you...
2353 01:44:34 She been waiting to do this for a long time.
2354 01:44:39 Why
2355 01:44:41 We battle
2356 01:44:43 For blame
2357 01:44:45 But you make it easy
2358 01:44:48 To smile through the thunder and the rain
2359 01:44:53 So if there's something I could do to twist
2360 01:44:57 And turn back the time
2361 01:45:02 Something I could say
2362 01:45:04 To settle your mind
2363 01:45:07 Something to prove
2364 01:45:13 They don't love you
2365 01:45:16 Like I
2366 01:45:20 Do.
2367 01:45:29 Ooh, ooh
2368 01:45:31 I forget when I was younger it was easy
2369 01:45:36 Now I'm stressed-out, always have to have the TV on
2370 01:45:41 Watching memories fade to gray
2371 01:45:43 Unwinding slowly
2372 01:45:44 Makes me uneasy
2373 01:45:47 Making me crazy
2374 01:45:49 - Crazy - But is it fake love
2375 01:45:52 If I'm lying to myself?
2376 01:45:54 Trying to fix up something real
2377 01:45:58 I don't really care
2378 01:46:00 I don't want to keep my head down
2379 01:46:03 Got nothing to share
2380 01:46:05 Maybe I should put my phone down
2381 01:46:07 I don't really care
2382 01:46:09 If everybody likes me
2383 01:46:12 I just want to love myself
2384 01:46:15 Love myself
2385 01:46:18 - Mm, mm, mm, mm. - Ooh...
2386 01:46:20 Damn, the girl still give me goosebumps.
2387 01:46:25 Grace, that was so good.
2388 01:46:27 Thank you, Maggie.
2389 01:46:30 Let's take it from the top.
2390 01:46:40 Ooh, ooh
2391 01:46:45 Ooh, ooh
2392 01:46:48 I forget when I was younger it was easy
2393 01:46:52 Now I'm stressed-out, always have to have the TV on
2394 01:46:57 Watching memories fade to gray
2395 01:46:59 Unwinding slowly
2396 01:47:01 Makes me uneasy
2397 01:47:03 - Making me crazy - Crazy
2398 01:47:06 But is it fake love
2399 01:47:09 If I'm lying to myself?
2400 01:47:11 Trying to fake the way I feel
2401 01:47:16 Am I a stranger
2402 01:47:18 If I don't recognize myself?
2403 01:47:20 Trying to fix up something real
2404 01:47:24 I don't really care
2405 01:47:26 I don't want to keep my head down
2406 01:47:29 Got nothing to share
2407 01:47:31 Maybe I should put my phone down
2408 01:47:33 I don't really care
2409 01:47:36 If everybody likes me
2410 01:47:38 I just want to love myself
2411 01:47:42 Love myself
2412 01:47:45 - Ooh, ooh - Love myself
2413 01:47:49 Ooh, ooh
2414 01:47:53 It's hard to pay attention when my mind talks
2415 01:47:57 Only wish there was a way to turn my mind off
2416 01:48:02 Now the only way to sleep is with the lights on
2417 01:48:06 Making me lonely, making me crazy
2418 01:48:11 But is it fake love
2419 01:48:14 If I'm lying to myself?
2420 01:48:16 Trying to fake the way I feel
2421 01:48:20 Am I a stranger
2422 01:48:22 If I don't recognize myself?
2423 01:48:25 Trying to fix up something real
2424 01:48:29 I don't really care
2425 01:48:31 I don't want to keep my head down
2426 01:48:33 Got nothing to share
2427 01:48:35 Maybe I should put my phone down
2428 01:48:38 I don't really care
2429 01:48:40 If everybody likes me
2430 01:48:43 I just want to love myself
2431 01:48:46 Love myself
2432 01:48:49 My head is spinning
2433 01:48:52 The ground breaks
2434 01:48:54 And I can't pay attention when my hands shake
2435 01:48:58 When love is gone, when every day is a bad day
2436 01:49:03 Just need myself to tell me that it's okay
2437 01:49:08 I don't really care
2438 01:49:10 I don't want to keep my head down
2439 01:49:13 Got nothing to share
2440 01:49:15 Maybe I should put my phone down
2441 01:49:17 I don't really care
2442 01:49:20 If everybody likes me
2443 01:49:22 I just want to love myself
2444 01:49:25 - Love myself - I don't really care
2445 01:49:28 I don't want to keep my head down
2446 01:49:31 Got nothing to share
2447 01:49:33 Maybe I should put my phone down
2448 01:49:36 I don't really care
2449 01:49:38 If everybody likes me
2450 01:49:41 I just want to love myself
2451 01:49:44 Love myself

2464 01:50:31 Monday morning, and the sun is dead
2465 01:50:35 Sky is broken, and the clouds are bled
2466 01:50:39 I was up, was gonna go to work
2467 01:50:43 Had my coffee, then went back to bed

2475 01:51:05 Boy, if you knew
2476 01:51:09 What this ache is really doing to me
2477 01:51:12 If you could just stop for a minute
2478 01:51:15 Stop for a minute, oh
2479 01:51:18 I know you'd change your mind
2480 01:51:20 'Cause, baby, it's true

2491 01:51:49 Phone is ringing, I ain't answering, oh, oh
2492 01:51:54 And I know I should get out of bed
2493 01:51:57 But I keep thinking about the words you said
2494 01:52:01 Aiyee
2495 01:52:03 You left me
2496 01:52:05 Stop for a minute
