“We celebrated Christmas together in 2018 and we both looked at each other from
across the table. We were at my mom’s house, we were living together at my mom’s
house, in her basement. I remember we were looking at each other like, ‘It’s OK,
our careers are fucking over it’s fine.’ We had fun it’s all good who would have
thought we could do anything, right?‘”

transitioned to punk rock. His 2020’s Tickets To My Downfall entered the charts
at #1.
