word on the street is that all the cool people are coming to lollapalooza so if you're around chicago next weekend, you should come through. only thing is that i can't promise i'll actually end up performing on day 2. seeing mother kesha the day before might actually send me into orbit. it's a miracle i survived my set with her during coachella. but anyways, lollapalooza. everyone come unless you've got something going on and then maybe depending on what it is, i might consider giving you a pass. @exposedfmstart

...what would qualify for a pass? Because as much as I want to be there, I think if I take one more day off of my current filming project I'm going to get fired and I'm all the way over in Liverpool in the UK, anyway. Does that count? Wishing you all the best with your possible performance, I know that both the wife and I would love to be there to support you if it wasn't for, you know, real life. Am I still cool? I'm gonna be deeply offended if the answer is no, just to be clear.

Not very much, but I came out on top nonetheless and that's all the matters! I know exactly what you mean. My boys are good for the most part, but sometimes they get a bit too rambunctious or play a bit too rough. Shit happens and things break, though it does especially suck when it's something of value—whether it's in currency or sentimental. Thankfully they're both not too bad of troublemakers.

Hey, if you go home ahead of the game then I call that a success. I imagine that's part of being a boy dad! Don't get me wrong, my girls are definitely chaotic but I never catch them hitting things with bats or balls... except of the bouncy variety... at least for the most part. The important thing there is to keep the expensive and sentimental stuff out of the line of fire, something Em and I had to realize pretty quickly when she first had Hazel. Glad to hear it! So, how's post-cruise life treating you?

OK I have been in my own little bubble since, well before I gave birth, but I feel like it's time to step out of the bubble, so hello from the other side. What year is it? Is it still 2024? What is going on in the world? Please catch me up so I can feel part of society again! @exposedfmstart

Congratulations on the baby! Boy or girl? Welcome, both of you, into the so-called real world. I'm really not much help since time stopped for me sometime in 2014 and I'm constantly writing the wrong date down on things, though. Mostly focused on inward stuff right now, working hard (or hardly working?) and making time for family. The rest of what's going on is too damn scary.

That's so true. I'm lucky Ender still wants to be held and cuddle whenever we're watching something together. I know that's not going to last forever, so I'm enjoying every last cuddle while I can. Letting nature take its course is always the best way to go. It means that it will happen when you least expect it and when the moment is right. Still sending you guys all the good vibes and happy wishes. I'm glad I wasn't the only one with a fear of sharks in irrational places. It really is an iconic movie, so at least I can say both me and my kid have great taste. I think that's the beauty of Jaws—a lot of the movie builds suspense and you get little glimpses of the shark before it really pops up to the surface and starts wreaking havoc. Tell me about it. I feel like Finding Nemo just came out like five years ago, tops. Besides raising Shark Boy, I've been doing a lot of promo for my upcoming album. Well, mainly the next single which will be dropping this coming Friday. I got Britney's permission to sample her iconic song, Lucky, which is what the next single is.

I mean, don't get me wrong, my kids are still pretty cuddle-y (though sometimes the eldest needs bribing), you don't have to worry about that phase disappearing anytime soon. And maybe he'll just be a cuddly teen, too. Still, like you said, enjoy it. Thanks! I appreciate it, and I'll be sure to pass on the well-wishes to Emily. I'm just glad the fear didn't eventuate to a fear of all water, like the toilet or something. That would have been... impractical. You do have great taste! What other films, besides shark films, have you been enjoying together? Exactly. It's not even about the sight of the shark itself, it's about the fear it causes from below... five years, max, for sure. It feels like everything happened five years ago, though, including my arrival on Earth. That's exciting stuff! I'm actually familiar with the song, for once, which is pretty rare for me and modern music. Well semi-modern music. I just googled Lucky and it's 24 years old, I feel a little depressed. I'll be sure to give it a listen, though.

I get it. Doing that movie made me an even bigger fan. It was kind of sad to learn his entire history as the man had to go through a lot. But thanks man, I appreciate those kind words. Coming from you... it's amazing so thank you. I was a bit nervous because you never know how the public is going to react when you play such a beloved artist but I'm glad it was liked. Took me some real blood, sweat and tears. These days? Working on this movie called Caught Stealing which has been fun so far. Quite an interesting story. 2022 just seems so far away now. What about you? What are you up to?

It was an amazing, emotional film that definitely provided a hell of an insight into someone we thought we knew everything about – but clearly didn't. You should definitely be proud of the part you played in it! And everything you're doing, honestly. Oh, I can only imagine, it's part of why I love doing original content so much... there's so much to live up to when you play someone else like that. But I like to think you did him justice and he'd think so, too. You're welcome. I'll have to look out for that one. I'm working on a Guy Ritchie film in Liverpool right now. Have been doing so all over the globe since... February.

You're sweet for saying that. Cause as much as we say we know what we're getting into... we don't until it actually happens. If you didn't say that her sister was right up there with her... then you would of sent me into a spiral wondering what my own mom thought. You've got the faith! Can you send that along to Dami, please? Let him know that his girlfriend was correct. We were thinking of getting him into the circus but maybe science is the way.

I try. And yeah, no, even every birth is different – or that's what it seemed like with Hazel and Vi who are definitely tied for #1 with each other. Could never pick a favorite... always thought parents were lying about that before we became them ourselves and no favoritism with the two of them. Both equally loved. I have so much faith in your genius child, and I'll be in contact with your other half ASAP. As for the rest of it... the circus, huh? I have questions. No judgment, just questions.

The worlds youngest grandmother. Honestly - a title that I'm proud to hold. I don't know - I came home one day and my dog had a kitten in its bed. Must of come through the dog door or something with her. Cats just pop up. Not you and Ryan both wanting to make a movie out of this.

Cats do just pop up, this is true. They're weird little things. It might be why I'm more of a dog person myself, I don't know if this sort of thing happens with puppies although I could be wrong. Does kitten have a name? I don't know why I'm so invested in this, but I really am at this point. Hey, people love heartwarming unlikely animal friend tales, don't they? What a way to make bank. I mean, a good movie.

Vegas isn’t too bad of an idea. And it’s been a minute since I’ve been out there. I guarantee that if you search hard enough you’ll run into some sort of pizza buffet at one of the hotels out on the strip. It does suck when everyone else is on the opposite side of the world, especially because time differences. I always have something on the horizon of coming out. Just when you think you haven’t seen me in a minute I’ll pop up out of nowhere as a cameo in an Eminem video.

Vegas is an excellent idea, actually, give credit where it's due. It's been more than a minute and more like an age since I've been there myself. I think you'll find any good city in the USA has pizza, yeah, you're right. Pizza is great hangover food and Las Vegas definitely causes a lot of hangovers, in my experience, reference to the excellent movie unintended. Right? It's kind of killing me, I need more people to head over to Liverpool while I'm filming although, right now, I'm over in Vancouver with Em. Thank God. Are you in an Eminem video? I feel like you're enough of an enigma that I could have missed that, Pete.
