We were trying to pimp out Ashley to go get drinks. Okay. Get shots for us. Right. And so she's kind of, we're just kind of. hanging out and then the crew kind of fucks off for a minute and then this little china man goes over and starts hitting on Ashley and Ashley's like no I'm good well wait we had bought around and I got yeah we did I got the bill for four it was Nate myself Frank and Ashley so four

Pierre's got the fridge, Sig. But we're at, so we're at FSA. And this China man comes over, starts hitting on her. She's like, no, no thanks. And then did it again. And then he's like, I'm a very wealthy man. You want to be with me? There's a bunch of suits down there at the time.

And we didn't really put it together. Then the crew comes back from their break. So here comes the camera. Here comes the sound guy lighting, all this shit. And they're filming us. And the guy's like, oh shit. My bad. I had no clue.

That's what this was. And he goes, you guys can have a table. Yeah, he didn't want to be on camera. Yeah. Which, by the way, there were only two people that the camera would ever shy away from. One was Priscilla's granddad. We'll fucking get to that. Then the other was this guy.

Yeah. And like the camera, they put the camera down. Like, this guy's got to be a fucking high roller or some shit. so we order a bullshit bottle of platinum or something like okay cool we got a table you're good thank you whatever and he comes over and he's like guys do not offend me money is not an issue order whatever the fuck you want with a bit of a chinese accent that's why we forgot the car yes we got fucking smoked that's why i was like i don't remember this hands us the menu it was an ipad yes it was fucking lit up Mind you, 2011, this shit is fucking astrophysics.

I don't think I'd seen an iPad at that point. I still had the iPod touch that you put on the strap to the gym. Yeah. You remember the iPad being a big deal. Yeah. So this guy, this was a menu. It's a fucking menu. She was like, oh.

So Ashley gets some Romeo and Juliet shit. Gay as hell. Her and fucking Frankard drinking the shit out of that. I get Belvedere. I don't really know high-end liquors at this point. No, because we drink fireball all the time. Yeah. How is it?

We're poor bitches. What the fuck are we going to do? I had $500 in my bank account when I got there. I don't think I had that. Yeah. But he goes, yo, they have Johnny Walker Blue.

I don't know what the fuck that is. He's like, we're getting it. $3,000 bottle fucking comes over. And so he's got the whiskey. I got the fucking vodka. And I'd never heard. I drank that shit.

And I was like, this shit is fucking amazing. That is a hell of a story. Yeah. Oh, turned out to be some Chinese billionaire and he was in town to do some sort of fuck shit. And then, like, we just, we were pimped out Ashley and it worked.

It literally worked to it. The lioness, just like in Mufasa, they send out the women to get the food. And she went and she delivered. Yeah. We probably spent 30 grand that night. Yeah. They still, well, I don't know about still, but back then I was still, you know, I was living in San Diego after the time. They talked about that night for years.

That's awesome. That's awesome. They were like the real world showed up with a billionaire in tow. They thought we brought the motherfucker. Yeah. We did not. You met him there. Yeah, we just fucked around and found out. That's awesome, man. Well, there was a lot of, like, random weirdos in San Diego that were like,

bro. I don't want to be on TV, but I want to hang out with you guys. Yeah. Like, that one guy at the gym who just would sit on the Stairmaster, and we didn't know if he was, we didn't know if he liked me or Ashley. Yeah. He didn't know. We couldn't tell.

But, like, he would take us to, like, these extravagant dinners and just pay for her. There was a lot of that in San Diego. It was like a trust fund baby thing or something. Yeah. He had kids. Yeah. He was so weird. I remember we were playing ping pong one day and I said porpoise weather vane and the dude almost passed out.

He was crying so hard. He got all ate up because I said porpoise weather vane and I was like, I mean, I guess dude, it's kind of funny. And then he was like, what the fuck? We were talking. That guy was so weird. Dude, he gave me a certificate. I still haven't. I should have brought it.

I wish I had known this. And it was a million shares in his company. Yes. No way. But I don't know if it's legit or not. It's an actual certificate. Wait, you haven't checked on this? No, I still haven't.

And he invited me to an Eckert atolle speech. And I was like, I'm busy that weekend. I can't make that. And I think he was like 40 or something. And I remember we were asking him like, what do you do for money, man? Like, it's dope. You're hanging out with, you know, children. That's fucking weird.

And this motherfucker was like, oh, you know, I invest in the market a little here, little there. And I was like, cool. Like what? He's like, oh, you know, went back to schools big. I'll invest in clothes. I'm like, what the fuck? fuck kind of fuck shit
