Speaker 2 (07:19):
I know it's hard when you've been in this industry
that long, just when you know. Sorry, now it's the
hard facts. Did you push a Livia down that hole
in the stage.

No way, I would never do such things. There's literally
a video of her tripping.

Yeah, I see a little mullet off stage.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I have a mullet right now.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yes, I thought that is her.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
That may have been maybe I was the reason why
the stage was down sabotage, but it's because I was expecting.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Her to jump down up over.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Communicated earlier. I was like, you need to do a
little flip.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I think it would add that she didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
She just fell straight through.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
No, but that seems to be topic of conversation right now.
Speaker 2 (08:01):

before they get into a relationship jet because they can
be such like life leaches. You know, we can and
they can trick you as well. You know, they'll put

be this like sad, toxic man. Yeah, I'm with you,

we've gotta be careful with who you give your energy
to because under all all this, we're all just these skeletons.
And if you think about that, it's kind of scary.
