When Girl Talk heard about a talent show at the Smash Club, they definitely wanted to perform. With the help of Uncle Jesse, a real musician, they figured they couldn’t lose.

The problem was that they didn’t want to hear his advice. While he encouraged the band to practice, Stephanie and her friends wanted to focus on their “look.”

After yelling at the group, Stephanie was ready to prove her uncle wrong, saying, “I know what you’re thinking, Uncle Jesse. But we’re gonna show you. And we’re gonna be great out here. And you’re gonna be sorry about the way you treated us.”

When they finally performed “I Saw the Sign” at the Smash Club, it was a disaster. Uncle Jesse was pretty understanding about it, though, as the two sat backstage and discussed what happened.
