Transcript

we went broke moving out the penthouse. Alright boys, everybody's packing up, we're moving out the penthouse. We went broke, we went broke, we're moving out the penthouse. Psych, I'm joking guys, we're going to freaking Miami. I mean, yeah we are moving out the penthouse but we're going somewhere better, so we're not broke. Dude, I'm going to miss this. PH06. No more penthouse, bro. Now, real no joke, we said you know what, screw the penthouse here, we're just going to take everything we have and just go to Miami without a plan and see what happens. But we have the money, so if worst comes to worst, we'll just get a hotel or Airbnb.
