Mark starts out talking about how they get their inspiration which then develops into him talking about how they got the material for the U2 EP. He then starts talking about all the trouble they got into and for what reasons and talks about how he tracked down the store that the record was purchased, Athens, GA. 

This is where it starts to get very interesting because he makes the connection that the only thing in Athens connected to U2 was REM and (surprise, surprise) REM's manager is attending the conference. They both resolve that the resulting lawsuit started with U2, not Island Records as U2 has attempted to suggest in the past.
