So after, you know, the rehearsal dinner, everything was good. We had dinner, you know, they start drinking a little bit. She's really like belligerent and we were all sitting by the pool having a good time. It was really like the first time I actually got to meet her and like, you know, talk to her. >> Mhm. And uh she was so drunk like I was just kind of like I was sitting next to her at the pool in the launch chairs and I was kind of like you know talking to her but she was so drunk I wasn't really paying much attention to her cuz she was just belligerent and I could have sworn till we started talking about her dad and my buddy Tyler he is uh I got him into hunting. Anyways, her dad has like some hunting property and stuff up there. And I could have sworn she told me that, "Oh, my dad's selling the property." And my buddy like a week or two before he was all excited to go hunting. My buddy meaning Tyler, sorry. >> And uh you know, I misunderstood her. Anyways, I'm driving them home cuz I you know, didn't drink at all and we had to drive back to his house. And I was talking to him in the front seat. She's uh passed out in the back seat. And I said, "Oh, Tyler, that's her, you know, her dad's selling the property." And he's like, "What do you mean?" I was like, "Yeah, I was talking to her at the pool. She said her dad's selling the property." And he says, he reaches in the back seat and says, "Hey babe, is your dad selling the property?" And without hesitation, she throws a left hand and pushes him in the face and she says, "Don't ever talk about my dad." And she has no idea what we're talking about. You know, we're not talking bad about the dad. It was like, "What the I got scared because I'm doing 55 mph and she's throwing I thought she was going to push me like Jesus Christ." And then, you know, we get back to the house, they argued a little bit and, you know, like, jeez. And she went to bed, you know, she woke up fine the next morning like nothing ever happened. >> Mhm. >> And when we got home, I was on the porch and I was like, Tyler, like what the [ __ ] going on, dude? He's like, yeah, well, we got in a fight a week before. She threw all of his like either from in the house or on the porch into the neighbors. Sorry for cussing. I just all worked up. >> Sure, that's all right. >> Britney, you know, Britney, she uh she was she was a different person when she was sober than when she when she drank. We came down with her girlfriends for her birthday in February and it it really didn't go well. You know, Britney was hitting Tyler and him and punching him and then there was like blood. It was a really weird situation. This was like the first weird thing we found with her is that and I still have the shirt. She was Tyler up and we were all downtown and there were, you know, he started like she's she used to scratching and stuff >> and she put blood on all of our shirts like on the back of our shirts and we realized that later in later on this is in February that we all had blood marks on the back of our shirts where we thought it was weird. >> Could you tell me a little bit more about this uh when you came down in February and you all ended up with blood on your shirts? Jaffy, Chris Jaffy, who was Tyler's old roommate, who is Britney's ex-boyfriend. He's also a friend of mine. And we were out and I don't see I don't go to Q West Austin anymore. So, when I do, you know, everybody wants to meet up and hang out. So, I told Tyler, I was like, "Listen," I was like, "Jaffy is here." I said, "You and Jaffy were great friends. You know, you shouldn't let you know, you know, Jaffy doesn't care that you're dating Britney. He misses you." I was like, "Can we all just hang out together like we used to and just all be cool?" And he was like, "Let's like I love Jaffy, dude." He's like, "The fact that Jaffy wants to hang out with me." He's like, "That's great." You know, because they have their differences. When Tyler started dating her, >> Tyler was like, "Let me talk to Britney about this." So, he calls me. He's like, "It's fine, dude." Britney said, "It's cool that Jaffy wants to be cool again. Well, I'll come down there." So, Jaffy is with us. Tyler and Britney show up. They walk in. When Britney sees Jaffy, she had a blank face, blank look on her face. Tyler sees Jaffy. He's smiling. Jaffy smiling. I was right there. They hugged each other and it was like kind of awesome that, you know, that they were going to be friends again. You know what I mean? They could let this go past them. >> Yeah. >> Well, that wasn't Britney's plan. You know, Britney was hoping that there was going to be some sort of scuffle or drama involved in this situation. And she got mad at Tyler for not doing anything about Jaffy being there. Fore Tyler started blaming himself for it. And then that's where, you know, I kind of stepped in. I was like, Tyler, I was like I was like, you're not in the wrong here. And he was like, "I should have never met up with Jeffy." You know, he was he loved her. He was obsessed with her. forch. Fore! Foreign! Foreign!
