In this short, the speaker recounts how Mark encouraged them to buy a bass and start jamming, leading to a year of informal sessions. After gaining confidence and wanting to play guitar, the group decided to formalize their collaboration by forming a band rather than rotating among different musicians. The speaker ends by asking Mark how old he was at that time, highlighting curiosity about the early dynamics of their musical partnership.

Mark told me to get a bass, and I was like, all right. And I, you know, got some money together, got a couple. I got a bass and a little amp. And then we started jamming. Mark was jamming with other people, too, though. And I feel like there was, like, after a year, I was like, I want to play guitar. And then it kind of from there, like, we made a definitive thing, like, all right, we're going to start a band and, like, be. Instead of playing around with all different people. And, like, we were like, all right, we're going to actually start a band. And, Mark, how old were you then?
