00:10Hey, Benji, I just got to the airport.
00:12I really hope you left already.
00:14God, you made it.
00:15What's up, cuz?
00:16I got some good shit from when we land.
00:18Wait, you're not like taking weed into Poland, are you, Benji?
00:21They don't give a shit about that stuff.
00:22I think they pretty much do give a shit.
00:23Oh, yeah.
00:24Yeah.
00:26Davers and I are cousins.
00:29We used to be joined at the hip.
00:31Our grandma is from here, so Dave arranged for us to join this geriatric Polish tour
00:35with you fine people.
00:38I really needed this, man.
00:40I know that it's tough for you to leave your boy.
00:42I don't really have anything going on.
00:45I know it's been a tough few months for you.
00:47I also want to say that I know you're not the most comfortable person with people.
00:50I'm not?
00:51No.
00:52Does it look real?
00:53Well, they're twice the size of you in metal, so...
00:54You don't want to come up here?
00:55I'm good.
00:56Can you take my picture?
00:57That's what I'm talking about.
00:58Marcia!
00:59Thank you, David.
01:00But it's amazing that you're here, putting yourself out there so boldly for me.
01:03Thank you, man.
01:04Let's go smoke a joint.
01:05Word of warning, this will be a tour about pain.
01:09Our grandmother and Benji were super close.
01:11I mean, she was the coolest.
01:12I've just been in a real funk, I guess, since she died.
01:16Just haven't...
01:18I...
01:21You ain't alone.
01:23You're looking back at the horrors of your family history.
01:26We completely cut ourselves off from anyone else's true pain.
01:30Why are you doing this?
01:31Oh, man, you used to, like, feel everything.
01:34Obviously, there are triggers along the way.
01:36We're not at the right station.
01:37And you didn't wake me up.
01:38Oh, you were having such a good nap, dude.
01:40Jesus Christ, you were on a tour group with people!
01:42I know, I just didn't have the heart to wake you up.
01:45Has he always been like this?
01:47I love him, and I hate him.
01:50What the flying Jesus?
01:52And I want to be him.
01:53You used to cry about everything.
01:55Yeah, it was awful.
01:56Who wants to cry about everything?
01:57We're on a Holocaust tour.
01:58If now is not the time to grieve, I don't know what to tell you.
02:01Why is he gonna cry?
02:06Cry with me!
02:08You ain't alone.
02:11Just let me be your only hope.
02:18Dude, you ain't alone.
