Can someone explain the whole earplug thing to me?

The nextdoor neibours are old dudes. Fink befriends them. he  invites them to a show so that they can see what his job is. The security at the show gives them free earplugs, because he's worried about  two old folks at a NiN show.

The neibours use the plugs - then as a joke - after the show burn them with matches - they then give them to fink and say it was so loud at the show that the earplugs caught fire by themselves from the sound.

Or that's what I got from it

Never had a problem with Finck as a person.  He seems like a pretty interesting guy actually with various talents.  Too bad playing guitar in a blues based rock band wasn't one of them.

Robin seems like a really nice guy

But that's a pretty boring story
