63.544 - 65.545 Kareem Rahma

What do you think happened? Why'd they make all the movies white?

66.408 - 82.976 A$AP Ferg

I don't know, bro, but I'm about to make a movie. That's a good idea. I mean, my videos be costing the prices of movies, so I might as well just make a movie, right? What's your most expensive music video? My most expensive music video is half a million dollars. Half a million? Yeah, look at Green Juice.

88.697 - 89.117 Anthony Di Mieri

Hold up.

89.458 - 99.667 A$AP Ferg

Yeah, that video was half a million dollars. Wait, I think this is a nice pivot for Ferg. I mean, I don't... Ferg the filmmaker. I don't even really look at it. Like, we've been making movies. My life is a movie, so... My life is a movie, too.

99.747 - 100.107 Kareem Rahma

541.992 - 555.479 A$AP Ferg

No, I'm a vegan. Oh, you're a full vegan? Yeah. How long have you been vegan? Seven months. I mean, I got leather on. Oh, that's not pleather? We still working on that. We still working on, like, some things you just can't get away from so fast.

0

555.94 - 556.18 Andrew Kuo

Yeah.

0

556.4 - 558.481 A$AP Ferg

I'm growing into this space.

558.901 - 560.022 Andrew Kuo

But you want to be a vegan?

560.482 - 569.487 A$AP Ferg

I just want to be me. If one day I want to eat, like, chicken, I'll eat chicken if I want to. Like, it's just right now, it's just, I'm not on that time.

570.578 - 571.738 Kareem Rahma

You ever had a vegan glizzy?

576.64 - 578.48 A$AP Ferg

Nah, I didn't. I haven't.

Chapter 3: What is the story behind Ferg's dog Crash?

1351.645 - 1371.54 Willem Holzer

Yeah, I mean, sometimes she's doing stuff for, like, socials, and then she's, like, ripping through editing. Like, we literally just sent out our engagement party invitations, right, which you obviously saw. I RSVP'd immediately. You did RSVP immediately because you're a good friend. People who don't RSVP immediately are shitty friends, and then they make you chase them. I'm a good friend.

1371.56 - 1392.77 Willem Holzer

Yeah, it's terrible. But she had obviously watercolored the thing. So by the way, that invitation was originally watercolored, FYI. And then she edited the text on her phone through some app. I have no idea what it is because I don't know how to do any of that. And then it was all uploaded back from the phone onto Paperless Post or whatever we used. So she was working.

1393.511 - 1396.712 Willem Holzer

You know what's really sad about Paperless Post? What's sad?

0

1396.732 - 1414.179 Andrew Kuo

I mean, there's a lot of things that are sad about it, but what in particular? I didn't even look at Like, you know, like the watercolor thing? Yeah. It just looks like... it just looks like a graphic that they provided. That's amazing. That's so sad.

0

1414.239 - 1429.303 Willem Holzer

That's so the fact that she painted that dude, she literally had multiple, like she added so many layers of color and texture. There was like an ink pen situation to give certain outlines. Like it was like, I walked into the house.

1429.523 - 1441.436 Andrew Kuo

Yeah. I am looking at it right now. I pulled it up, but it legitimately looks like she was on paperless post.com and they were like, Oh, here's an option with like a tree. And she was like, cool, I'll pick that one.

1441.776 - 1452.692 Willem Holzer

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this was like a handcrafted artisanal effort. Wow. Which basically means that you thought it's like professionally done or was created by an AI, which also means it's sort of professionally done.

1453.45 - 1456.172 Andrew Kuo

Well, it was done on her phone, so I guess I don't feel that bad.

1456.192 - 1460.654 Willem Holzer

I mean, yeah, the water coloring was obviously done handmade, but she took a picture of it.
