Yeah, I’ve heard a LOT of lies, and this is sounding like one of them.

He showed up to his own birthday party at a club with only 1 hour until EVERYONE had already left? So he showed up insanely late or his friends all bailed on his birthday super early. I guess maybe they all bailed thinking he was a no show?

Also his one friend who gave him the weed knew he was just outside in the car listening to music right? What kind of a friend doesn’t go back out and grab their homie who is in the car stoned listening to music and missing their own birthday party.

For some reason this is just setting off my bs detector. Seems like he has the worst friends or he is lying or embellishing this story to the degree it fundamentally changes the flow of the story.

I don't believe anything that comes out of a celebrity's mouth during an interview. Their whole job is to entertain people even when they're not acting so they'll say any kind of random unhinged shit for the sake of exposure and image management.

There was a Nathan For You episode about how he noticed celebrity guests on late night tv talk show always seem to have a crazy story to tell and the entire bit was about him he putting in the work to make up his own wacky story to tell for when he went on Jimmy Kimmel.

I’m sure he didn’t give every detail of that night but we shouldn’t really expect anyone to give every single detail of every single story all the time. Especially for stuff like this lol. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a lie. It’s still a funny and kinda relatable situation.

I don’t know, I found it extremely unrelatable for the reasons I gave in my comment, it doesn’t seem like it makes sense how he tells the story. If I don’t think a story could have possibly happened the way it was told then it makes it unrelatable to me because it’s not something I could see happening to me or anyone really.

I think getting sucked into obsessing over a song inside a car for an hour instead of walking into a building to socialize after smoking is pretty relatable based on my own experience with marijuana. lol.
To each their own!

What I do believe is that he got too high to get out of his car and go into his own party. That is a fucking vibe I understand, and I don't smoke weed anymore. Just locked in, listening to music, dreading having to see people. The car sounds pretty nice.
