Pepper spray is just meant to be an irritant. >> It just really really really really really sucks for a while and then >> Yeah. >> It'll be all right. Then you'll get in the shower and then another >> suck again. So, it might be best just to get in the shower and just let the water run and just keep blinking and try to keep it flushing out. Make sure you wash your hair real good cuz when you get back in and you wash your hair, it's going to just suck all [snorts] over again. >> Drew, if you had to choose how this ended tonight, what would your choice be? >> For us all just to calm down, go to bed, and I can go to my orientation tomorrow.

And my dog is like the one of the nicest dogs you could ever meet. >> Was the dog barking? >> No. No. The dog was laying down and he she was watching the whole thing. This that dog that dog would never bite nobody. >> Did you make any any statements or comments that maybe would have thought that may led him to believe that you were going to hurt him or that you wanted to hurt him? >> [snorts] >> If you did, you did. I mean, we're just trying to figure out we'd rather get the honest truth of what happened. You know what I mean? >> All I remember honestly all I remember is my girlfriend telling me to just take a walk and we come back we can all talk and calm it down. I just all I really remember. >> Okay. >> [snorts] >> Didn't make any threats towards anybody? You were going to beat anybody up? You were going to kick anybody's ass?

No? >> No. No. No. No. I don't do that. >> Okay. >> No no offense to people that do but >> No, you you have the right to say yes or no. Um um you have a cut on your arm. Do you have any idea where that came from? >> Oh, no, I don't. >> Okay. >> What the hell? >> Um >> Huh? Maybe it was from when he sprayed me and I fell cuz it was by the front door. >> Yeah. >> And I opened the cuz it's metal. >> Yeah. >> Maybe that was what it that's all I can think of but nobody nobody physically did this. >> No, you don't believe that Pasha caused that injury to you. Is that what you're saying? >> He did not do that. No. >> Okay. And [snorts] as far as you're you're concerned, you don't want to pursue charges for anything. You guys you still want to stay separated for the night? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Um >> Yeah. >> What what If you had to choose what happened tonight, well, how would you choose that this gets resolved? >> I don't know. They were supposed to be here until the end of the month. >> I mean, would you want them to stay here?

Fight me. >> So, it it seems like today, um they're going to kind of hang out. >> Okay. >> I mean, he doesn't want anything done. Technically, he didn't put his hands on you. So, um >> Yeah, because he was trying to attack me. And if I didn't, he would have hurt his girlfriend. >> Okay. >> Two people could have been hurt if I didn't. >> He's not He's calmed down. He is not um >> And he when he was yelling, he's like, "Nobody's going to shut shut shut me up." Yeah. His girlfriend was trying to like calm down. He's like, "Nobody's going to calm me down." >> Do you think you can kind of hang out up here and >> Well, I do hang out up here. >> Keep separated from him, and I'm going to tell him to keep separated from you, and >> Yeah, we're all >> I think we'll be good. >> Should be. >> If we leave you here, >> The landlord will come back. Probably with this [ __ ] lawless, it's very much possible. >> For why? Because of him or because of you or what? >> No, because of him. Because of him. Because of their behavior. >> I got you. Okay. Um my suggestion is to get on the phone with the landlord. Do you have a phone number for the landlord so I can try? >> I do, but his phone is most of the time it's off. >> It's off? Okay. My suggestion is if you get to the point where you feel like you're going to have to use pepper spray again, separate yourself. Okay? Come up here. Is there a door down there? I didn't even Yeah, there's a door here, so >> lock. >> Just close the door. You know? You're putting yourself in your room. Are you going to hang out up here, Pasha? >> Well, I I do hang out up here. >> Yeah, I hear you.

He's not >> I I I have no intention of interacting with him. >> Okay. Let's leave it like that for tonight, okay? >> Yeah. >> All right. >> All right. So, Pasha's going to stay upstairs for the night. You're going to leave for a little, Drew? Just to kind of get yourself away? Okay.
