He really is.
He looks like a machine.
He has that Murray Bird unguardable jump shot, too.
Yeah, because the ball's way up here.
Yeah, and you can't get that high,
and he's falling backwards.
Dirk used to do the exact same thing,
fall backwards and be way up high.
You can never touch him.
Can't touch it.
So have you been like, did they put you on like a workout regimen when you were on the movie?
Like did you have to stay in shape, or no, you didn't have to do that?
Oh, no, not for that movie, man.
I say that because you've always been in shape, man.
You've never been out of shape.
Actually, it's kind of funny now.
I gained a little bit of weight, man.
Thank God.
You need it.
Yeah, for sure, man, because I want to be healthy.
I want to make sure I'm taking care of myself.
I'm actually trying to get off the vape, too, by the way.
We talked about this.
I told you during the middle of filming, Gator was ripping through it.
I was like, we got to get you off of those, man.
Yeah, man, for real.
Because who knows what's in it?
I don't know.
Yeah, who knows?
They say rat poison.
They say glass is in it.
They say all types of stuff. Glass? Yeah, vegetable oil say all types glass yeah vegetable oil vegetable i'm okay with i feel like that one's okay yeah
but in your lungs i guess no i mean but it's better than rat poison and glass yeah man that's
what my buddy said we were golfing the other day and he you know he throw a cigarette and you throw
it down on the grass while he was hitting because it'll still stay lit oh right right one of the
dudes was like don't do that there's pesticides all in the grass and you put it back
in your mouth it's really bad for it and he said dude i'm smoking a cigarette i think it's gonna
be okay oh wow that was a great response yeah he was like i'm gonna die anyway dude cancer's gonna
get me pesticides will just add to the mix maybe it'll level it out a little bit but yeah you got
to get off the vape gotta get off the va bro. I've been trying to practice a healthy lifestyle.
Like this weekend,
I'm going to Atlanta
to be in this
Rap Crew League
basketball game
hosted by Revolt.
Uh-oh.
Diddy like posted me
today and shit.
So that was great
for them to be on.
Diddy gave you some love?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Diddy gave me some love.
Does he know you?
Do you know him?
I'm pretty sure
he knows of me now.
Yeah,
but I'm saying like
you guys have never met.
I met him in the club
with Dickie one time when he handed him some flowers dicky handed puffy some flowers at the
club at uh by abby and live wait a minute he had a bouquet it was crazy like so we had a club popping
bottles me and dicky he got his section he just takes some flowers from his section and just walks
up to diddy's section and heads him like a bouquet of flowers to the club like that shit was so
fucking did he like it he took it he liked it he took the flowers he was like, a bouquet of flowers to the club. Like, that shit was so fucking funny.
Did he like it?
He took it?
He liked it?
Yeah, Diddy took the flowers.
He was like, that's it.
Yeah, it was cool, bro.
That's much love.
It's just a full circle moment, man.
You know, because Diddy supported Dickie early in his career.
And now, you know, I'm being a part of something on Revolt,
playing in a basketball game this weekend.
At State Farm Arena, too.
What?
I'm playing against Kevin Gates, you know, Nick Canada and shit.
So it's dope.
Damn.
You going to shake Cannon?
You think you can break him?
I don't know.
He's pretty good.
I've seen he's pretty good.
I don't know.
He'd be all over the place.
He got a lot of kids, so he might be active on that court, man.
He might be thinking about his kids while he's guarding you.
It's crazy.
One of his 36 kids.
Well, he's thinking about that, not the ball.
He know how to be at a lot of places at one time.
Yeah, he does.
Dude's got 36 jobs and 36 kids.
Yeah, man.
See, that must be exhausting, working all those hours.
Because he's nonstop.
He's one of these guys that wakes up.
What time do you wake up in the morning?
Honestly, probably like 6, 6.30.
Every day?
Yeah, give or take.
You never sleep in?
Yeah, give or take, man.
Because naturally, you know, my mom, you know, she always woke up and got up early.
And when I was younger, my mom used to say, if I'm up, you up.
If I'm getting to it, you getting to it.
I don't care if you got to be up.
If you ain't ready for school yet, you better get up.
I'm getting up, so you can't stay in the bed.
So, you know, my mom's older and stuff.
She's 72, like in her early to late 70s.
So when she'd get up and just been having that mentality for a long time,
it just naturally made me want to get up.
Bro, you get up at 6 every day.
What if you go to bed at 1 in the morning?
Are you still getting up at 6 or are you sleeping?
I probably sleep in, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A little bit.
A little bit, probably like 8, 9, 10.
Because I'm the type, I don't like to be in bed all morning
because I start feeling lame, you know?
I start feeling like...
Yeah, you're bored.
Yeah, I'm bored.
I could be being productive, you know?
And then I don't like the day getting by me.
I feel gay to the...
I want to have advantage of the day.
Gay to the hustler.
You might be the most dedicated hustler I've ever met in my life.
That's you, bro.
No, you're never lazy, man.
I've never seen you lazy.
You ain't either.
You got the podcast.
You got the stand-up.
I'm falling apart.
You got the TV show.
You got the movies, bro.
I mean, held together by Elmer's glue.

But we went to a Korean barbecue spot, and the table almost caught on fire.
It was crazy.

Not the regular, like, the smoke just come up, and they come put the water on.
I'm talking about it was giant flames up to the ceiling.

I think it was me.
Glenn Powell.

a cabin one day.
It was so funny.
We had to keep telling him, man, put it back on there longer, man.
Like, hey, bro, I like my shit well done.

cold part about it bro if it does i can't wait to come back and see because everybody's kind of grown in their own way from the show.
Yeah, for sure.
It's kind of weird to see everyone's kind of like doing their own thing.
This season was amazing, bro.
Yeah, you guys did a great job.
I mean, honestly, I think you probably had the strongest season I've seen
out of any of the cast members this season, particularly for you,
I think was one of the best ones I've seen you do.
Man, that was good.
Yeah, it was, man.
It was phenomenal.

And you were making me laugh, dude.
You know what's so funny?
Also, the first day we filmed this season,
we filmed at a place called Plaza
that was like a nightclub.
It's like a nightclub on La Brea,
and it was right next to Pink's Hot Dogs.
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
You went over there and got a hot dog.
Yeah, that shit.
And I was like,

You were like, I gotta go get a Pink's Hot Dog.
Man.
I haven't been there in so long, and I was like,
maybe I'll have a fucking Pink's Hot Dogs.
All because of Gator, the influence of the Big G.
Yeah, man.

So out of all the offers that you've gotten,
have you turned down a bunch?
Have you said no?
Have you been saying no, or are you saying yes to everything?
Right now, I've been more of a yes man.
A yes man.
That's a good place to be.
Because you know why?
I want to be easy to work with, you know, like Santino, Brad Pitt, Bobby Lee.
I want to be one of those type of people that got longevity in this game.
And you don't get that by saying no.
You got to be able to say, you know what?
Fuck it.
If I'm getting $800 and a cup of coffee, put some tape on the floor and I'm there.
Let's go.
It's just about the, you know, the opportunity and just keep working.
That's what I just care about.
Yeah.
It don't always be about the money.
It's about the opportunity because you never know where it could lead you to, you know, so. Could lead you to more money. That's what I'm saying. Could lead you to money down the road. Yeah, bro. That's what I just care about. Yeah. It don't always be about the money. It's about the opportunity because you never know where it could lead you to, you know, so.
Could lead you to more money.

That's right.
So I'm just appreciative of every moment and chance I get, bro.
I love you, get it?
And also, by the way, you named me, Brad Pitt, and Bobby Lee.
One of these people does not work hard.
Who, Lee?
Bobby Lee? I did a movie with him, man.
I know you did. Gone Sweet Dreams. I love you, Bobby Lee. I like what you told me. You said, Gator,
it's not about being the biggest or baddest. It's just about working, man. Just, just work.
Is that what the advice Bobby Lee gave you?
Yeah, he's, dude, he said he'd been doing this for a long time. I said, man, I said,
bro, I'm trying to be doing this for a long time. He said, that's what it's about, Gator. He said,
when I was younger,
I used to want to be this,
that,
the hottest guy and all that.
But then I just said,
you know what?
I'm thankful to just have a job.
It works.
He should be.
When he put it in that perspective,
I said,
damn,
I see how you last a long time.
Are you still just going and going?
He just won't leave.
He just won't leave.
Don't leave, Bobby Lee.
We love you, bro.
He's like herpes.
He keeps coming back. Somehow, I don't know you, bro He's like herpes He keeps coming back

I don't know where he came from
But somehow
He keeps coming back
How old do you think Bobby is, by the way?
Well, I know his real age
Oh, you do?
In my bracket
In my
The way I'm thinking
Man
Bobby Lee's ageless, bro
He is
He's kind of a little timeless nugget
Yeah, he's ageless, bro
He's timeless
He's like one of those personalities
That's gonna be around forever
because you always need somebody like that.
Somebody that walked the thin line, that's on the edge.
Yeah, he is.
Say whatever you know.
Like, you need those type of people around you, man.
You really do.
For real.
We want him to keep brushing his teeth because if you lose all your teeth,
he might die.
He's lost more than half of his mouth.
And on tour, I see the way he eats and doesn't brush, and I get concerned.
It's all good. There's a dentist for that.
I got a nice fake smile.
Let me see. Click those.
There it is. If you want to go tap in
with my dentist, man, it's all good.
But you didn't have bad teeth when you took your teeth out.
No, I didn't.
Because your teeth were nice. No, I did.
I did, but I had a missing tooth, bro.
You had one missing tooth?
Yeah, one missing tooth.
I never noticed it.
Yeah, it was towards the front, you know, because you learn how to adjust your bite and all that.
But then I started realizing, like, man, fuck it, man.
I'll just come brand new.
Fuck it.
Brand new?
Brand new?
Get the new ones.
Fuck it.
So when they put those in, did they shave down your teeth?
Definitely.
I got my shit shaved down.
I love talking about veneers, man, because I'll be seeing people veneers,
and then I'll be like, okay, I understand why yours look like that
and why mine look like this.
It's just a whole other world, bro.
But at the end of the day, love yourself.
It don't matter if you got veneers or if you got no teeth in your mouth.
You got to get ugly, and ugly stands for you got to love yourself.
So no matter how you come, just come.
No matter how you come, just come.

and in typing class,
I'll never forget,
they had a typewriter

if you want to learn it,
I can show you the typewriter
because it's the same keys,
but he's like,
if you want to learn
how to actually go back
and edit on a typewriter.
And a few kids wanted to do it
because they taught us
on the old, those old Dell or like the big nasty heavy keys
would get caught in them you know i remember that and we had typing class but it was always a key
missing oh yeah someone spilled you know coke on it two keys are sticky and so you push down a t
be like yeah i remember those and then in our I don't think, I don't remember everybody having a computer.

I like drinking beers.
I've been on Medellos, Coronas.
Oh, yeah?
Little Mexican beers?
Yeah, I've been drinking those.
I've been barbecuing a lot, too, lately.
Now that you got the crib, are you feeling like a dad, like a man?
Like, I got my house, I got a barbecue.
I got to do all the dad stuff at the crib.
Yeah, I'm always feeling like a dad.
You know, my girl, she got a kid, so I kind of be, you know,
playing stepdad, father figure,
supposed to be speaking at a school tomorrow.
So, yeah, I definitely feel like a dad.
You're going to speak at the school?
I definitely feel like a dad.
Yeah, you know, you made me smile and made me happy we're in
the back seat of the car and uh i don't know if we were filming or we were going to film and
her you know your your your girl's boy facetimed and uh you know was saying what's up and then he
said he wanted to get braids just like you oh yeah he got him now he did yeah he got did? Yeah, he got the locks. Oh, man, I thought that was so great.

He's like, just want to get them like you.
And I was like, okay.
He got the locks now, man.
That's great, man.
Yeah.
See how influential you are, man.
Yeah, got to give back, bro.
You know, I was one of those kids, too, that was in need.
You know, I never knew my real mom or real dad.
So anybody that was a male figure in my life and they was positive
and I looked up to them, I really gravitated towards them.
So, you know, I'm just doing the same role, you know.
You're that to that kid.
Think about that.
That's kind of wild.
Down the road, you know, he's going to be like, this guy was good to me.
You know what I mean?
That's amazing.
This guy that doesn't, you know, same thing.
I had a, you know, I had a stepfather because my father wasn't there.
So it was kind of like, that guy didn't have to like that guy didn't have to be a dad to me.
He could have just been like, you're not my kid.
I don't give a shit about you.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, that's cold, but I think that does happen a lot.
Yeah, it definitely does happen a lot.
But what we respect, we appreciate,
we really hold on to the people that treated us right
when we were young in our formidable years.
So what you're doing is, I told you that before, man,
I'm happy for you, and I a you're a good man for that because you don't know how much that kid needs that we you'll never know you know what
i mean you'll never know for sure even when he's older and he tells you that it just you can't
imagine the effect that we have no i know the powerful effect because you know when i used to
go to my sports games when i was younger and it'd be my mom and sister cheering me on and I look at the
other people's families,
the other kids' families,
they got their dad out there
so I know how I feel, man.
That's why I'm just trying
to be a positive influence.
That's what I'm saying.
One day at a time.
One day at a time, baby.
No matter how you come,
just come.
There it is.
Wait, so this basketball tournament
you go to,
is it for charity?
Is that what it's for?
No, it's actually for a prize win of $250,000,
and you split it up with your teammates, and you get probably $30,000 apiece.
But that's not why I'm going, though.
I'm going, you know, because I want to do it for the culture.
But it would be nice.
Yeah, it would be nice, man.
It would be nice to catch.
I'm definitely going to be playing for that, though.
Like, I recruited some European players that play overseas
and some high school players they got playing on my team.
So you're allowed
to bring ringers.
You can bring some ringers.
Yeah, like,
somebody has Nick Young,
Swaggy P,
a couple years ago
on their team.
Oh, now I was gonna say now
or a couple years ago?
Oh, nah, nah, nah, man.

He got a special.
I'll see him golf at it.
He's good, dude.
Well, he went back to college and played college.
He got something on Netflix or Prime or something.
Yeah, one of the streaming services.
Who knows anymore?
Yeah, so much out there, bro.
Is your movie that you shot in Australia, is that going to be streaming or is it going
to be in the theaters?
Oh, that's going to the theaters.
And then I got to fly back out there for the premiere
and shit. Yeah, it's crazy,
bro. Aren't you so excited being in the theater,
in the big theater, man? Yeah, I love it,
bro. It's the best feeling, man. The residuals

And you go back down to promote the movie.
Yeah, in Australia.
Are you just going to stay down in Sydney,
or are you going to try to go around somewhere?
I'm probably going to go around, man.
I want to go to Melbourne, you know, Brisbane.
You didn't go to Melbourne, right?
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
My man, when you go.
I was out there rocking out.
I've been before, though. Yeah. I just didn't get to go because I was, you know, working and shit. When you go I was out there rocking I've been before though
Yeah
I just didn't get to go
Cause I was you know
Working and shit
When you go
This time
You have to hit me up
You know cause I was there
For two months
Two and a half months
You got all the spots
I got so many great spots
To send you to
Man we gotta get at it bro
Places that you'll love man
Cookie
Her
All these great little restaurants
It's great cause it's like
Different kinds of food
Yeah
Cause it's all Asian fusion
Right right right Because it's people from Japan and from Thailand and the Philippines.
Yeah, I love Asian food out there.
Oh, my God.
Every night I was going in on that, man.
It was so good, right?
But that Aussie beef is crazy, though.
They're McDonald's as well.
I was eating that shit faithfully, bro.
Oh, really?
I never had McDonald's when I was down there.
Was it good?
It was good, bro.
Not as good as ours or better than ours?
Not as good as ours, but it was good.
What was different on the menu that they—
They had a double Big Mac, a double fish filet.
Double Big Mac?
Yeah, double Big Mac.
So double patty, double patty?
Yeah, double patty.
It on a fish filet, too.
It was great.
But not double bread.
They didn't need double bread, double bread.
Nah, no double bread.
That'd be crazy.
That'd be crazy.
But they had the double patties.
A double Big Mac.
And they say we're the fat ones. America's supposed to be the fat country, but they had the double patties a double Big Mac and they say we're the fat ones
America's supposed to be
the fat country
but they got the double Big Mac
I think they do that
because their Aussie beef
is like got less fat
than our meat
well you know
it's so funny
you see when you go down to Australia
I saw almost nobody out of shape
oh hell no
you don't see anybody out of shape
it's a big workout city
workout country
I saw nobody out of shape
it was crazy
they always working out out there
and if you did see somebody fat
and out of shape
it was an American
just a tourist. For sure. 100%.
Yeah, for real. You saw him, you're like,
that guy's from Mississippi. Everybody out there looked like they
worked out. Yeah, a lot of beautiful people. They just lived on
the beach. Yeah.
Could you? Yeah. Could you
move to a place like that? Yeah, I definitely
could, bro. I ain't even gonna lie, man.

to the Rolex store, you know, in a nice
penthouse. Yeah.
Saying hello to people,
sipping your tea on a balcony. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, man?
I could see myself doing that, man.
I definitely could, bro. If you could leave L.A.
and stay in the United States, where would you
move, or would you never leave L.A., you think?
You think you'd always stay here?
Um, yeah, but I definitely could see myself, you know, venturing off in the second half of my LA, you think? You think you'll always stay here?
Yeah, but I definitely could see myself, you know,
venturing off in the second half of my life, you know,
like trying to do something else, man. I definitely could see myself.
Where would you go?
What state do you like enough to move to?
Man, I like New York.

We just did a Florida run.
We did Texas, and then we did Florida.
And Florida's interesting, man.
We drove all through Florida, and it's one of those places where I couldn't pinpoint, but like every little town we went to,

but there was a shitload of people that do.
Shitload of Trump supporters.
Oh,

Yeah, that's crazy.
What an amazing goal to be able to.
First father and son duo.

in the NBA that played together?
In baseball, I remember Ken Griffey Jr.
when he played with his dad.

He's locked in on that.
Any movie with two cute gay guys, he's really locked in.
Yeah, but otherwise, if it's sports stuff.
You know, I'm really into stuff like the birdcage,
not really into basketball or football.
He's crazy.
It's funny. That's funny.

Did you ever buy gifts for them?
Yeah.
Probably bought bags and shit like that.
Purses.
Yeah, but I don't think it's a stupid gift, though.
I see.
But you just bought them anyway.
It's stupid when you buy a bag for a girl and you're not with her no more.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, for sure.
Now, did you buy the real one
or did you get the one on the slide from the street?
Oh, I got the real one, bro.

It can be any price range.
Like if you're someone who loved,

for a pretty good price
and it's surprising.
That's dope.
I had a buddy buy a Pontiac Sunfire on there.
Ooh, I remember those.
Yeah, they were cool.
They were kind of fly.
I knew a dude that also bought a Dodge Viper on there
because those things are hard to get your hands on.
The white and blue one?
It was red.
I think they're remaking them now.
Somebody told me.
Are they remaking Dodge Vipers?
It was so cold.
Remember that white and blue one?
Oh, it was delicious.

You guys who, bro?
You think I can get ice and get away with it? What if I wore a chain?
Would I get away with it? Yeah, you can have a little one
tucked under on chill. Yeah, tucked
for sure. I can't have it untucked.
It's up to you, though, bro.
Whatever floats your boat. Yeah, this is
floating your boat for sure. That actually would sink a boat. That's probably heavy as shit. Man, I love jewelry, bro. You know, whatever floats your boat. Yeah, this is floating your boat for sure. That actually would sink a boat.
That's probably heavy as shit.
Man, I love jury, bro.
You do, huh?
Ever since I met you.
When I met you the first time and Dave introduced us,
do you remember the very first time I met you or no?
When was the very first time you ever met me?
It was at the table read.
It was at the table read.
That's right.
It was outside of the table read.
That's right.
And I made a comment because you had on bracelets. And I was like, table read that's right it was outside of the table read that's right and I said and I made a comment
because you had on bracelets
and I was like
man that's beautiful
look at all that ice
that's beautiful
and the first thing you said

I'm gonna get more
that's what you said
I'm gonna get more
and I was like
good for you
and you were like
no I love it
I want
I want to get more
real real bad
and I said
well do your thing
and sure enough
as we slowly grew,
you got more and more and more.
Man, I definitely did, bro.
Good for you, man.
It's what you like.
And that watch is so shiny.
You brought that to set,
and I thought that was, that's wild.
You also, somebody iced out a,
what's the other one that you got?
The black one that I've never seen diamonds on before.
It's like a sport watch.
It's like a-
Oh, the G-Shock.
The G-Shock.
Yeah, you have an iced out G-Shock.
Yeah, shout out for real, man.
I've never seen that before in my life, an iced out G-Shock.
Great tastemaker.
He was the first person I ever seen with it for real.
And then once I seen him with it, I'm like, man, I want one of those one day.
An iced out G-Shock.
I finally got it.
Because G-Shock, man, it's just an all-American watch, you know.
That's the watch that firefighters watch.
Yep.
That's the watch that police officers wear.
It's just a cool, cheap, classy, nice watch.
And then I just wanted to ice it out because it's so sporty.
And Pharrell did it first?
Yeah, Pharrell did it first, yeah.
Did he?
Yeah, then Kid Cudi did it after, I believe.
But, yeah, I had to do that, bro.
That G-Shock is dope.
Did you meet Cudi when we shot House Party?
Did you get to see him?
No, I didn't meet him, bro.
I didn't meet him.
He's a cool dude.
I bet it before I didn't see him that day.
But he's one of those guys.
There's a lot of rappers slash actors that have this crossover that are very talented. Yeah, he's a cool dude. I bet it before I didn't see him that day, but he's one of those guys. There's a lot of rappers slash actors that have this crossover that are very talented.
Yeah,
Jack Arnold trying to do his thing too right now.
I know,
I saw,
I saw Why My Can't Jump.
It should have been me and you.
That would have been crazy.
It should have been me and you.
It should have been Gay to Santino.
And it could have been called,
it would have been called Why My Can't Jump.
Because you know I can,
you know I can get up,
baby. You know, bring the rim down, baby.
One time in high school, we got yelled at cause we would, we'd jump up and hang on the rim.
And back then, those were the rims that weren't like the fancy breakaways today.
We had one of those ones that was like, you know, it wasn't a breakaway.
It would, it would bend, but you could tell like it wasn't supposed to, do you know what
I mean?
Pop it back.
Yeah.
You had to snap it back in.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. Someone had to throw a ball
And crack it back in
And we would hang on it
And the whole time
All we wanted to do
We'd jump up and down
With our weight
To try to see if we could crack it
So the backboard would crack
That's crazy
Because I always wanted
To crack a backboard
Cracking them backboards
After I saw Shaq do that
When Shaq did it
Remember that?
Bro he would do that
In the games
At LSU he did it right?
He did it when he was in college.
I thought that was the wildest thing I'd ever seen,
was a guy pull a rim off of a fucking backboard.
Yeah, Shaq crazy, bro.
For real.
Have you met him?
Yeah, I met him before outside of this hookah lounge.
Where, here in L.A.?
Yeah, I met him at a hookah lounge.
What was it?
Forgot the name of it, but we used to always go to it.
It's on the west side, Westwood.
A hookah lounge in Westwood?
Oh, Habibi's, yeah.
Habibi.
Yeah, Habibi.
Habibi's, the hookah lounge, yeah.
Now you're still eating.
Now you're puffing out.
What is this, an elf bar?
No nicotine, no.
No nicotine?
Mm-hmm.
So what's in these?
This one is just the flavor.
That's it.
Just kiwi passion fruit guava, but I got to get off of it, though.
So wait a minute now.
I'm so dumb. I never knew they made those no nicotine. Yeah,wi Passion Fruit Guava. But I got to get off of it, though. So wait a minute now. I'm so dumb.
I never knew they made those no nicotine.
Yeah, I didn't know either.
But now it's easier to put down, you know, because it's not.
You feel better without the nicotine in there?
Yeah, less tension, less, you know.
Less jumpy and everything?
Mm-hmm.
So they make it just the flavor.
Wow.
Did you know this?
I feel like I never knew that.
Can I see it real fast?
Yeah.
I'm not going to hit it, but.
Yeah, that's the zero nicotine in that one.
Wow.
This is nuts.
And these guys are making money on money on money.
This, I wish, if I had a time machine, you know, the whole thing, like, back to the future
is like, you'd go back and what would you invest in?
And a lot of people say like.
Oh, you would invest in vapes?
Yeah, I would have.
Seriously.
Because there's no way that costs them any money to make those things.
How much does that cost to buy?
About like $24. That vape right that cost to buy? About like $24.
That vape right there is $20?
Yeah, $24.
I bet you the plastic components itself plus the liquid inside, maybe a dollar max.
And that's a lot.
I'm over predicting.
I bet you it could be less.
But they're making, you know, $20 a head.
Even still, dude, I bet you those are cheap pieces.
You go to China, you can get that made for nothing.
Probably five bucks at the most.
I don't even think it's over a dollar.
I'm telling you, dude, I bet you it's nothing.
No, I believe you.
Because you go to China, those things are in such mass production.
Yeah, that's the cold part.
They make millions and millions of those things.
That's why I got to stop.
I know, because you know it's made fake somewhere in a basement in China.
Yeah, bro.

We were finishing up season two.
And when I was in the, you know, when they dyed my hair and did all that.
Remember that?
When they dyed my hair in the basement.
When you cut your hand off.
And I remember you sitting down and I was in my chair.

When do we start getting residuals?
And I said, well, you can download the app, and you can look on the app.
Oh, yeah.
You remember that?
I check it every day.
You do every day?
Yeah, I check it every day.
And I said, Geddy, you can download the app, and it'll show you exactly when the money's
coming in.
And you go, get the fuck out of here.
I said, I swear to God.
And I took your phone.
I said, just download the app, and it'll show you when the residuals are coming in.
And after that, I saw you so often.
I see you flick it and checking it.
Bro, I still check it all the time, bro.
