Rolling Stone announces catfish for sale while driving by. Extended interview with John, Elizabeth & Tanya Knipper while discussing home schooling, good points of staying at Slabs, dreams of Paris and French culture, being a veterinarian. Elizabeth keeps chewing away at the popcorn in hand while on camera her father intervenes when she is asked about drug use in school. Though the spot on lense is still evident (as on previous tapes), this talk with the Knipper is a very strong and interesting discussion. (Compare to talks with Jennifer on later videos)
