GET USE TO AND I FEEL BETTER IF I WAS AT MY OWN HOME

BECAUSE I WOULDN’T HAVE SLEPT THERE, I DON’T SLEEP AT

CIGARETTE THEN GO TO BED.

DRIVE HOME AND I’M LIKE TAM, I DON’T AGREE WITH THAT.

COUCH, JUST, JUST LET YOUR BODY MEND SOME BEFORE YOU DO

ANYTHING STUPID. THERE’S NO REASON.

BREAKFAST, THERE’S NO RUSH, JUST SIT.

WAS LAYING ON THE DECK AND AS FAR AS I KNOW ALONG WITH

HER LIGHTER AND THEN THERE WAS

CHRISTIAN: AND SO WHO, WHO TOLD YOU THIS?

FULLER: UM JOSE HAD MADE A COMMENT THAT THERE WAS AND I DID PICK

THE LIGHTERS UP, I THINK WHAT HAPPENED WAS, WHEN HE FIRST

WALKED OUT HE DIDN’T REALIZE THERE WAS ANY BAD THINGS

GOING ON SO HE JUST PICKED UP THE CIGARETTE AND LIGHTER OFF

THE WOOD AND PUT IT UP ON THE FIREPLACE AND THEN

PROCEEDED TO THE EDGE AND SAW THERE WAS A GAS, SORRY, A

GAS PROPANE TANK SITTING THERE. WHAT WOULD HAVE

POSSESSED HER TO USE THAT AS A STEPSTOOL, I HAVE NO IDEA.

CHRISTIAN: OK, WELL LET ME REDIRECT YOU BECAUSE




FULLER: I’M GETTING OFF TOPIC?

FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

FORTYISH, A LITTLE EARLY ONE FORTYISH, CAUSE HE GOT TO UM
