I'll give you.

But then they feel like they have control over you.

We were talking about this earlier.

Like, it's like you're their dog for the night or the weekend.

He's drinking and bad behavior and like he shit all over the hotel somewhere or something.

It's funny, too, because part of my first book, Future Drugs, is making fun of that memoir phase.

Because then after that, there were just a ton.

Everybody wanted to cash in on that wild memoir.

There's that book, Cherry.

I tell people about my book, or they read it, and they're like, oh, you should read this.

And I'm like, nah, I'm good.

If I'm already writing something like that, I'm not going to read it.

I don't want it to pollute what I'm doing.

And I didn't know that it was the alley where they have the needle exchange.
