00:02 Oh, shit. D, guess what? 00:04 I got fired from the sports bar. 00:06 - [Gia chuckles] - [Dom] No. 00:07 - Baby... - Yeah. 00:08 ...why you bringing that up now? 00:10 He used to work there. It's banter . 00:11 - Yeah. - [Eric] Yeah. You know how it was, like, if you have to go to the staff loos by going down to the basement? 00:16 Got tired of doing that. 00:17 So, I just started pissing in Oasis bottles, 'cause you know that big rim, no spillage. 00:22 I stuck 'em all in my locker, and I kept on sayin', like, "Just empty it. Empty it." 00:26 And manager caught me with, like, 18 bottles of piss in there. 00:29 I tried to say it was apple juice. 00:31 But he was like, "Nah, that's piss. I can smell it." 00:33 "Uh, yeah, it's piss." 00:35 I can't believe they fired you for that. 00:37 I know.

No, I didn't. 01:39 - I didn't swipe you. - [Gia] Give me your phone. 01:41 - Or anybody. - Now. 01:42 - I didn't swipe her. - [Gia] Eric. 01:44 - Phone. - [Eric] It's on rest mode . 01:45 - It's on sleepy mode.

I guess just everything you told me. 02:03 Well, you nailed it . 02:04 It's exactly what I've been wanting to say, but I've been too busy rolling over like a bitch . 02:07 - I shouldn't have said that. - No, it's true though.
