Tom's older, very patient brother Matt, is a successful musician, fronting his Brooklyn-based band, The National. Through judicious begging, Tom lands a job as a roadie to go on tour with the band. It is instantly obvious that he tries the patience of everyone with whom he comes into contact.
He insists on filming his own personal documentary when he should be working for the band, e.g.,
- he leaves tasks undone;
- he taxes everyone's good will;
- he drinks too much;
- he misses the bus;
- he embarrasses his brother and the band members;
- he fails to provide a list of celebrities at an opening night;
- he wastes time;
- he tries to get the food and the accommodations free, but is upset when he is fired.
His interview questions are inane:
- Do you carry wallets on stage?
- Have you ever resented my brother?
- How famous are you?
- How many drugs have you done?
- Then he talks about himself instead of doing the interview.
