And then the people who used to buy his columns like Fear and Loathing, the drug stuff, were like, hey, can you go back to the Kentucky Derby again and do some ether and do a bunch of ketamine and talk to some horse jockeys? And he was like, dude, I have a wife and kid now. I don't want to do that.
