Bert: But we’ve had this long standing joke where it’s been like. We’re uh, we’re frenemies.

Steve-O: okay

Bert: it’s only coming from my side, he hasn’t-

*both laugh*

Steve-O: well I mean I think in like. I don’t think there’s anything controversial about like the, you know, the timeline of what happened. It was really just a fact of Gerard got sober

Bert: yup

Steve-O: like significantly before you

Bert: yup

Steve-O: and so like if there was a beef it was that like when, when people get sober, like they gotta kind of step back

Bert: yup

Steve-O: from the party scene

Bert: yup. And I didn’t understand that at the time, and I was like he’s trynna tell me that I’m fucking up, and I’m like dude you’re fucking up.

Steve-O: uh huh

Bert: yeah

Steve-O: right and so you took it personally that he was stepping away from the party scene

Bert: 100 percent

Steve-O: like stepping away from you personally

Bert: 100 percent.

Steve-O: and uh, and so then like you know, if I understand correctly like, you uh said some regrettable things in interviews and stuff

Bert: yeah

Steve-O: like questioning his artistic integrity *laughs*

Bert: yeah there was a moment where I was pretty, pretty hurt about the end of our relationship.

Steve-O: right, and that’s like, that uh, is pretty standard issue like um. You know using, like in an active addiction

Bert: yeah

Steve-O: that’s kind of how like we control our emotions

Bert: exactly. Yeah it was sad. We were good make out buddies.

*both laugh*

Steve-O: yeah I’ve seen the photos

Steve-O: dude that’s amazing!

Bert: yeah

Third person: that would break everybody. Everybody would lose their minds

Bert: yeah

Third person: over that

Steve-O: yeah

Bert: We’re ready whenever they want us

Steve-O: so um you say that like you bump into Gerard sometimes or, but you say like let’s get coffee. Are you guys, does it uh have to be like a chance encounter or could you just like hit him up?
