Been in a boy band.

But it wasn't something like a genre I really listened to.

I mean, I grew up listening to Sublime and The Offspring and Jack Johnson and, like...

Just totally different music.

I actually got to see Sublime with Rome in Vegas a long time ago.

One of the first times we played Vegas, we were playing a show

I want to say at the Palms, because they have that outdoor pool stage, and they were playing at the pool stage.

So I remember getting off stage, running over to their stage to catch the end of their set, and I was super sick.

Oh, yeah.

I can see why.

We were staying in, that's the place with the hardwood suites, right?

We were put up there.

We had the Playboy suites.

I stayed in one of those.
