One night he says, talk to my friend Laurent. You know, he's loaded and he could probably partner with you.
Cameron said, you have to fly to New York, you have to meet Laurent.
He actually had this little private room at the top of the stairs from the lobby that he was sitting in. He had jeans on and a long-sleeved black shirt. He had a little jacket over it.
He's actually really chill. He's a very, very nice, cool guy. He was sitting there with Cameron and I was a little bit late because Cameron and I had a fight, of course.
And as we were talking, John sent me a text saying, oh, this guy has this Patek Philippe worth a million dollars. Can you get a loan on it? And right in front of Laurent, I mean, the texts were coming in and I showed it to him.
And he's all excited, like just crazy excited.
He grilled me like nobody's business. Just grilled me to the death to figure out if this was safe or not. And at the time, it was absolutely safe.
I said start with one loan, get comfortable, get your feet wet, get paid back, and then let's move forward, right?
We went to the Orange County, just the little courthouse, and we got married right then and there. It was like a Thursday morning. I'm in my sweats, he's in sweats, and we just go get married, do the paperwork so we can get it back to his attorney. But that was it. It was no wedding, no nothing.
Oh, my mom would have fucking killed me. So she said, he's a loser. You don't marry him. What are you doing? And so I was like, okay, I won't, you know, but I was head over heels in love with the guy. Like, what am I going to do?
Thank God for Adderall and alcohol. I had no head at the time. I mean, I had no fucking idea what I was doing. I just kept taking pills, taking drinks. So I never really had like a sober moment to think about it. Never. I just kept going, going, going.
people getting up getting paid no um i was always the one who had the money so i mean like i didn't i didn't really borrow any money so some people think i owe the money i don't i do i would give i always pay people i owe it's just like who i am even if it hurts me like i will pay it
And one day I was playing basketball, And they're telling me, we need to talk to a host for you. Because I was playing like, you know, a good 20 grand a day, whatever. Which is a lot. You weren't worried about playing that kind of money? I had, but I always had that kind of money. So 20 grand a day is no big deal. Like I, honest to God, always made that kind of money for myself.
It got scarier when I was dropping 50 to 100,000 a day. That got like, you know, that hurt.
He's like, come back to Vegas and, you know, put you in a different villa, a golf course villa, the first floor, which has a pool. And I said, okay. So I go back and that's when I realized like, okay, if this guy's inviting me, I have to spend money.
Now, when I arrive, my host has already prepared the room. So he texts me a few days in advance before I arrive and he will ask, what do I want in the room? And I always had two main requests, which was the Saint-Mauve-Ville-Cart-Rosé champagne and a charcuterie board. That's what I live off of. And so every time I would get there, he would surprise me with extra flowers.
I probably had six dozen roses in my room from him. He gave me all these fancy chocolates, handmade chocolates. Kula would have a complete bed set with every toy that you could ever imagine for a dog and Shoebone all ready for her to go.
My dog loved it. She had time of her life in our villa. And so I said, you know what, what can we do to stay here?
My host knew a lot about me. They ask you a lot of questions about what you like. And I love magic because it's one of my favorite things. So we would be eating dinner and all of a sudden some guy randomly sits down at our table with us. And I'm like, who the fuck? What is this guy? And he just starts doing magic. And I loved it.
When he was finished, he would walk away and then the manager would come over and said, we brought him in specifically for you.
