Ashton says she's feeling "dandy." She and her mom look into each other's eyes as their banter veers from pets to overalls to mud walks. "O.K., Princess. I'll call you tonight," Kaleita-Sniderman says. But just as Ashton turns away, her mom calls, "Wait, wait! Kiss!" and presses her lips close to the camera. "Bye, Princess," she says, blowing the kiss across the airwaves to her daughter...
...that's the trade-off. Beat's Gundan can banter with him and make jokes as long as they aren't as funny as he is. But they can never show him up, because they know who is the king of this jungle. After showing a clip from Brother at the end of the TV Tackle show, Beat pretends to fire a gun. "What a scary man," he jokes.

But the melancholy turn of the best tracks, especially "Amy," are what really earns this boy his stripes, and his CD its title...
Grohl did, however, engage in playful banter with Taylor Hawkins, the band's long-time drummer and the most rock-starish of the Fighters, with his long bleached hair and penchant for dark sunglasses. The two duked it out on the drums at one point, answering each other's rhythms in an impressive, but somewhat self-indulgent display. For those who like the Foo Fighters' softer, more melodic side, the show came up a little short. But for those who value the band's ability to rock out and appreciate a touch of arrested adolescence, the concert delivered everything...
