Mike needs that old album of whale songs he had as a kid so that he can give it to his own kid. Plus he should probably get some good headphones so that his kid can listen to it properly. Plus he might could use a little something for himself, but maybe he should get that on a different trip. Definitely a different trip. But no. A story about needing to make a change, and how that change can feel like just trading one sorry addiction for another.
