Part 9: Authenticity
1
You gotta be yourself.
Don't try to be
something you're not.
You know, it's like,
so everything's bullshit now.
Yeah, and that has an
effect on your life.
You start accepting shit
as real that isn't real.
Fucking guy's put out a whole
album singing in auto-tune.
Botox.
Fake tits.
That chick on the Kardashians.
Who is she?
What, did she commit a murder?
How far do you gotta go
with the plastic surgery?
She doesn't even look like
her mom or her dad anymore.
She looks like an adorable person
that got repeatedly punched in the lips.

Oh, my god! Gumdrop?
How did you get in here?
I can't believe I'm seeing
your actual face right now.
I've been following
your career for, like, 15 years.
Your set at Ultra
last year was insane!
I actually started DJing
because of you.
I love you so much. You're
like my biggest inspiration.
I'd love for you to listen to
this new sound I just recorded.
- Sorry, I
- Please. It'll only take a second.
No, no, no.

You know, my whole life,
I thought I hated tomatoes.
You know, not that I hated them.
I just could do without them.
And then one day, I ate a tomato that
came directly from somebody's garden.
And I ate that thing,
and I was so fucking mad.
I was like, this is what a
tomato is supposed to taste like?
My whole life,
I've been trashing tomatoes,
I never even had a real one.
Trying to find
something authentic in life
Good luck.
