Ciao.
Good to meet you. We've never met before. I've seen you on the interweb. Oh, nice. I've seen you on internet. You kind of got... A lot of movement on the internet that I saw from my old man viewing perspective of the internet through Kill Tony, yeah? Mm-hmm. Kill Tony was kind of the beginning. Yeah. Are you nervous?
No. I'm never nervous.
Okay. Just kidding. Okay. All right.
I'm a little bit nervous.
You shouldn't be. Why would you be? You're fine.
Well, because I'm in deep shit, you said.
You did. You showed up. You showed up. 18 minutes late
no

yeah
no excuse
yeah i know
literally no excuse you're in i said you're in deep shit pal i'm
staying at the intercontinental i just said that wrong intercontinental
Yeah, I think we got
it. Yeah, I just said it right.
Fuck. The Intercontinental Hotel.
Yeah, and you have to go all the way to the top just to go back to the bottom. So that's why I was like...
What do you mean you got to go to the top to go to the bottom?
So you have the lobbies at the...
That's the story of the business, by the way. That's the biz. Can't get used to it. It's going to happen. You got to go up to go down, baby.
Yeah.
The lobby is upstairs? Yeah, it's at the... Oh, I know this, right? Where they do the... Yeah, I've seen this in hotels.
Yeah, but so you have to go to the lobby and then to go all the way back down. And then to go to your room, you have to go up to go to the. And it sounds like a cool idea until you have to do it a few times. And then,
you
know, you miss your lift because there's like a line.
You miss your lift.
Yeah.
So did your sister travel with you all the time? No, she
lives in Stockton still. So she just came with me.
That's
sweet. Yeah, it's nice.
What does she do in Stockton?
She works in insurance. That's what I used to do, too.
You did insurance? Yeah. Sales?
No, I was an underwriter.
Oh my God, what a nightmare.
Yeah, it wasn't. But it was weed insurance.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
I mean, no, it's still insurance.
No, it's still insurance. It doesn't really matter. It
doesn't matter. I like to add the weed thing so it seems edgy, but I just priced it. I didn't even get to...
You didn't even get to, like, haggle and negotiate and make it fun for people that you liked?
I didn't even get to smoke or anything like
that. Do you smoke weed?
I do.
Do you drink alcohol?
Uh-huh.
Do you do drugs?
I mean, sometimes.
What drugs do you do?
I don't know. It depends on the occasion, you know? Like, where am I?
All right, like a funeral.
Oh, Molly.
Nice. Nice. You know? A child's birthday party, like your friend's kid's birthday.
Molly.
Molly again? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it seems like Molly is the drug you like to do. No, I'm
kidding. I actually get anxiety attacks on Molly a lot of the
time. You seem like you get anxiety attacks in general.
