in Little Boy, and I came off stage, and he's like, he's like, good shit, man, good, that's new shit.

And I go, I'm super excited about this Russell Brand joke.

And he goes, yeah, yeah.

So then the next day he starts texting me, and he goes, I couldn't sleep last night.

And I go, why?

And he goes, I'm just so excited about your new Russell Brand joke.

He goes, I can't sleep.

And I go, wait, you're joking, right?

And he goes, yes, I'm joking, you fucking idiot.

It was so funny, dude.

We were laughing so hard.

He's the best, man.

Yeah.

I mean, yeah.

Yeah, I learned, excuse me, you know, you're always learning, right?
