"I'd like to thank Paul Simon for coming here and discussing his autobiography." "And now, um, I'd like to open up the floor to questions." "Okay." "Um, yes." "The lady in the middle." "First of all, um," "I'm a huge fan." "Oh, I have a lot to say." "I am really gonna make an impression on Paul Simon." "He'll say, "Good question." "I've been waiting my whole life for someone to ask that."" "That is an intelligent person, and that is who my real fans should be, not all these other people." "Did you have a question?" "Uh, no." "No." "Okay, thank you." "What was your inspiration for, uh..." "They need to wait for the mic." "I'm sorry." "We can't hear you." " Can't hear you." " Sorry." "You're gonna need to wait for the microphone." "Yeah." " Hi." " Hi." "My husband, Dave, and I-- my name's Kath-- um, we are your ideal fans." "We know your entire discography." "Thank you." "Did you have a question?" "We had-- we had heard, uh, a" " I had heard a folk singer, and his vocalizations didn't have the discerning quality of tonality that, uh, I" " I think you and I seem like we're the same type of mu-- musically trained judges of how people sing." "Uh, do you find your discerning ear to criticize or at least assess that type of vocalizations?" " Well, uh..." " Or is that just us?" "Okay, well-- well, thank you very much." "It might be time for us to move on to some other, uh, other questioners." "The old Gaelic Irish singers." "I'm sorry?" "What on earth are they saying?" "That accent is so thick." "Uh, is it me, or is it" " I mean, you must feel the same" "You have to feel the same way." "Well, just for the sake of expediency," "I'm going to agree, but I do-- I do have to catch a plane, and this gentleman over here" "We want to thank everyone for coming, and that concludes our question." "Thank you very much, and we could hear you, the little whispering." "Believe me, the sound carries here, so we heard you." " Good morning." " Great." "We just got invited to a karaoke party." " Oh, nice." " No, this sucks." "I don't want to go to a karaoke party." "I don't want to butcher some song." "What do you mean?" "You got a beautiful voice." "Dave, a karaoke party is an unspoken competition." "You don't go there as an amateur vocalist and sing a professional song." "How long do we have?" "We have a week." " That stresses me out." " Dave, we can do it." " I don't know." " We're gonna attack this, Dave!" "I mean, I want people to hear us and just think that our version's better than the original version." "I know;" "I want them to think, when they go home, like," ""You know what, I wonder if Kath and Dave have a CD out where they're singing Hey Jude or they're singing a song by"" "Creedence Clearwater Revival!" "Yes!" "What if we get a vocal coach?" "And we get professional singing lessons?" "Vocal coach." "Maybe we do something choreographed." "Yes!" "Think about this voice after lessons." "Oh, I love it." " I love that voice." " I know." "It's gonna be like angels singing." "I mean, it's basically gonna be a birthday party for our song." "Let's look up vocal coaches, I guess." "Okay." "Ready or not, here we come." "So my sister has this setup that I think is really cool." "It's just, like, all of my music in one central place, but I can play it in different rooms and kind of control my TV in the same way." "Well, that's exactly what we do." " Perfect." " So yeah." "We could put in speakers up there, down here, every room in the house." "You're gonna want a subwoofer under the television." "Ooh, new plaster up in that corner there." "Uh." "♪ ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na ♪" "What do you got, a screen back there?" "Yeah." "You might want to take that out, 'cause it's catching all the treble." "♪ oh, ah, ah ♪" "What we're realizing is we probably need to put a subfloor down and some baffling up." " What's baffling?" " It deadens the sound." "You don't want things to be too tinny." "Otherwise, it just sounds like a Chinese kitchen." "What does that sound like?" " This is a constant cacophony." " Okay, how long is this" "So when you listen to The Beatles, it sounds like the Chinese Beatles." "You know what I'm saying?" "That sounds really racist to me." "We use this in the industry all the time." "It has nothing to do with-- with what nation they're from." "I don't use it in the industry, but it's true that he does." "How are you on volume?" "Is this volume loud?" " Yeah." "That's loud." " Is this more quiet?" "Yeah." "Of course that's more quiet." " You're talking more quietly." " All right." "Well, we're gonna get to installing."

"I need, uh" " I'm not getting any sound from the kitchen." "Um, I don't know if we hooked up the HDMI cable." "Do we have one in the car?" "Do you own an HDMI cable?"
