Amy and I talked ad nauseum about... the beginning of each day is kind of the worst part for them, right?

And I just had such anxiety about getting on this boat. Cause there's nowhere for me to hide. I'm a claustrophobic person by nature. And Rick is a claustrophobic person. And I knew there was no place for me to be alone right on this boat before I could take my chair. go out into the little jungle if I wanted to, you know? But on this particular day, it was really tough.

And so I just camped out on the front of this boat. The view was incredible. And I just filled it full of negative energy so that no one wanted to be around me, right? And there was a moment... Like for real, it's like just like buckets of fucking negativity. Here you go. Like no one will come up here. One person did, John Grice, who's a buddy of mine. And so we were able to talk.
