    i dont think the interviewer necessarily understood his humor haha at times.. but so cool, awesome video. dude looks like project pat but has the vulnerability of a way relatable, down-to-earth grunge/punk artist or something. guess project pat’s pretty chill too lol.
    so glad to hear that youre less reliant on alcohol tho! and that being more sober is a little better for you! i think it def is healthier tho and safer,, like so happy to hear youre just feeling/looking good tho generally it would seem.
    i dont think i kno u, but love u guy
