   • Building an apartment tower out of legos and then building a lego crane and wrecking ball out of legos to demolish it and staging this at a premier for a film whose production team has been falsely accused of animal abuse. This is immediately after doing 10 lines each of coke on a hot air balloon with John Cusack. The night before, you had received a phone call from Jack Dorsey, CEO of twitter. He asks you, of all people completely out of the blue, to wire him $11,750,000. Though a nagging feeling Mr. Dorsey got the wrong fucking number persists, you decide to engage with this newfound opportunity to make life interesting, and the next thing you know, you are boarding a private jet to the Maldives, where you will meet a mysterious hedge fund manager with a hook for a hand and a platinum grill. You speak to him in English, he speaks to you in Kanuri, a relatively obscure Nigerian dialect, but this never seems to hinder a general sense of productivity and direction from the chain of command over the course of the meeting. You leave with a flash drive filled with 666 individual routing numbers and a sinking feeling in your gut that you may have gotten yourself into something maybe a little fucking nefarious. You get the sense you are being watched closely or followed, so you slip into a crowded street vendor area to grab a big cup of fish soup, and by god, you chug that shit down. Are you a spy now?
