Hello, this is Captain JB up here in Skycopter 4. What are we looking at today? Well, there's a little bit of a congestion over there. JB, you lost your license.
Bring the chopper back. You're not supposed to.
The world's going to switch to other programming here. Welcome to Smartland.
Doesn't Jason kind of look like he just woke up and he just woke up. He's going to have a bowl of cereal and watch cartoons.
I've had cereal. I've had my granola, my sugar-free, gluten-free granola. with my unsweetened almond milk. I want to just blow my brains out. That sounds like Jesus. He's halfway describing it.
It's just terrible. You're finally getting it. You're finally getting it.
My sugar-free yerba mate fucking... That looks like urine. It's not worth it, right, Will? Didn't you say I was going to die without a whole lot of water retention, but I'll be young.
And remember, the whole idea is that I was going to be at your bedside eating a sundae with 30 years to go. Right, and me and my wooden teeth would be sitting in a casket. JB, you got like a really, you got like a sort of sexy, like post-sex look. That's what I'm saying. Right?
Well, does the hand count? Oh, no. No, I don't do that. Talk to the hand.
Keep talking to the hand.
Keep talking to the hand. I just, I'm just, I was telling Sean, I just did some reading. That's all. This is just me in reading face.
This is reading for the movie you're doing, yeah?
For maybe what might follow. You know, we're hustlers.
Sure, we are hustlers.
We're constantly getting hired and fired, and you've got to try to build a bridge to the next check.
That's right. Always.
Yep.
I know.
You're so exhausted. Why don't we just stop? How about we just stop?
I know.
Let's just stop.
You know, because you know what? I'd hear it from you if we stopped.
Let's just chat. We'll just chat once a week. Just chat. You know, and we don't have to do any reading and we don't have to do any, you know, getting up at crazy hours and being away from our families.
Oh my God, your voice is kind of warbly.
I'm here and lonely in New York.
I'm going to be there soon, JB, and for the first... In a couple weeks, I'm going to be across the street from you until I move in to my place. Yeah? Yeah. I'm going to be right there. So I'm going to come and spoon you at night. I'm there in June, late June. Eh, we're good. We're going to be good. So, yeah, JB, but I'm going to... I knew that was coming.
See, that's what's generous about us three. We each take turns at setting each other up to hurt our own feelings.
Now, JB, do you like being isolated like that by yourself there and all that stuff? I do.
You know, I was thinking the other day that I have lived in a number of these temporary situations because of work. in various places around. And I was actually, I was thinking, well, I'm kind of surprised that I've made a friend of that. And I'm kind of comfortable with that. Cause you know me, I'm so locked in and committed and comfortable in my cave at home. Like I don't leave.
But you create a cave everywhere you go. It's true. I'm good about immediately. Every time you get into rental, I remember in Atlanta when I was living in that building beneath you, you had your cave there with your couch and your thing, right?
Yeah, the couch has got to be in a situation where I can be laying down.
Perpendicular.
Yes, so that I'm looking across my body, over my feet, right to the TV.
The couch is, again, perpendicular to the television.
Yeah.
And then... If I've got that, I'm comfy.
Remember on tour, every hotel immediately couch... Right in the corner. And then the TV on. JB would... Right in the corner. And then you come out to Long Island, you get to my house, everybody's outside and JB's on the couch.
I know, but that's your... TV on. But then, unfortunately, that's usually the host's spot. That's your spot. No, no, because remember I had those two... You do the corner. I have those two corners. Yeah, you do the other... Why do you do that?
Well, but every single... Yeah, and every single time you come over here, Jay, you...
