[Penelope] Hey, Mom.

Hey, Dad.

I'm sorry for leaving like that. Um…

I just…

It's not you.

I'm not running away.

I feel like I'm running towards something.

It's like…

I'm being called.

Please, just don't come looking for me.

Please don't be mad at me.

I'll be okay.

I just need this.

I'll talk to you soon.

I love you.

Bye.

[indistinct chatter]

[song fades]

[Penelope] How long have you been living like this?

[Sam] Uh, seven months, about. Yeah.

Yeah, I gave up my place to save money to record my album.

Yeah. Then I purchased a thousand CDs.

-Thousand's a lot. That's a lot of CDs. -[laughs]

Uh, I got a couple extra for you.

Oh, hey, look, I got some left. Check that out.

-[laughs] I don't really have any money. -Yeah, I know.

If you want it.

-Thanks. -[Sam] Yeah.

[dog barking in distance]

-So, you live in a van. -Mm-hmm.

You book all these shows yourself, hope that people show up?

Well, people don't really show up.

[both laugh]

No one knows who I am, so they don't, like…

unless they're already there, like, drinking coffee or something.

Why don't you just put your stuff up on, like, Spotify, YouTube, and TikTok,

why don't you just, like, make videos and post them

-and kind of, you know, like-- -Join this century?

-Yeah, basically. [laughs] -Yeah, I know.

Uh, well, I did those things, sort of.

-Okay. -Uh, but even when I did,

it was still just me sitting in my room, hoping people listen.

You know? But if they do show up, there's like a, um…

[clicks tongue] …like a sharing that's taking place, you know?

There's-- We're actually, like, connecting with each other, you know?

It's something tangible.

You know, 'cause otherwise, it just kind of feels like an idea that I'm a musician.

It, uh, it feels like a picture of a river

versus, like, actually being at the river, and, like drinking the water

and… and, like, feeling good and being in the sun and stuff.

Um. Uh, I don't know if that makes sense at all.

-Yeah, it does. -[both laugh]

Um…

What about you?

How long is this road trip of yours you're doing?

Well, uh, it's not really a road trip, per se.

Yeah.

[laughs] Yeah, I don't honestly have any idea what I'm doing,

so I'm kind of just-- Yeah.

Yeah.

You ever met anyone that could really tell you they knew what they were doing

and they meant it honestly? 'Cause I don't think…

I mean, you did just lay out this really cool philosophy.

-Oh, no. -And, you know--

That's just… That's just me on a good day, you know?

That's me on a-- What day is it? It's Tuesday. It's gotta be Tuesday,

-because that's my good day. -[both laugh]

I don't know. I, you know, I don't really know what I'm…

what I'm doing.

Yeah. [chuckles softly]

[exhales slowly] I guess I just…

feel like I need to…

take things out before I can put them back in, you know?

Or something like that. I don't really know how to explain it.

I just…

don't feel right.

Like, I just don't…

-I don't… I don't-- -[Sam] No, I get that.

Um…

I don't want to be too forward

but do you have a place, uh, to sleep tonight?

No, I don't.

You don't… You don't have any money?

No. [chuckles]

Well, you're more than welcome to sleep here,

like in here with me, if you want.

Oh.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, I'm sorry. I…

I'm, uh, I didn't mean, like, "with me" with me, and that, like, I just meant,

like, I, you know, I can sleep in the driver's seat or whatever.

-I'm sorry. I… -[laughs]

[laughs] I didn't mean it.

-I should have phrased it better. -Okay. Yeah, yeah.

I didn't mean anything weird or anything like that.

-Sorry. -It's all right. Yeah.

You know, I just-- You just look like you could use some help.

Thanks.

-[mellow music playing] -[dogs barking]

-[yells] -[grunts] Oh. Damn it. [laughs]

-[laughs] Okay. -Oh, man.

Thanks.

-Okay. -[music fades]

Thank you.

-Do you mind? -Yeah, sure.

Come here.

-[Gale] Hi there. -Hi.

Um. Uh, I was wondering if I could come in and camp.

You got a reservation?

No.

Well, then you'll want dispersed if you want to camp.

What is that?

We have eight curated camping sites, but they're all reserved right now.

If you want to go find yourself a spot somewhere else in the forest,

that's called dispersed camping.

It just needs to be 200 feet away from any other sites,

and you can't stay there longer than 14 days at a time.

-Okay. Yeah. -[Gale] Okay.

You got your America the Beautiful Pass?

It's 80 dollars.

Gets you into this park and a slew of others.

You can buy it here.

I don't have any money.

Well, go get yourself some money and then you can camp.
