Top 3 eyeball stories?
When I was a kid in elementary school, I lost my eye in the snow. I cried. Then my brother found it and wouldn’t give it back. Jerks, man! Chasing it around the kitchen floor at one of my first parties at the Zero house. Every time I turn and talk to someone, they look beside them as if there’s someone else there that I’m talking to. Figure it out!
Top 3 moments with The Chief?
Meeting him for the first time at skatecamp; totally awesome!
I was down in Carlsbad filming for New Blood and didn't have any money to eat. The Chief would give me money out of his pocket for the week. I got really sick at the Zero house—bed-ridden for days. No one seemed to care. So Jamie came over and made me soup and grilled cheese. Cured me! Fuckin’ rights, mon!
