GABBY What? Explain.

GABBY Oh my god!

MARISSA Correction: I was drunk and I decided it would be a good idea to jump on it.

AMY ROSE Was it a full pie or a slice?

MARISSA It was a full slice that somebody had dropped on the ground, and I was like, Oh, that’s interesting! And so I jumped on it.

MARISSA It was a group of probably like eight of us, and we were—

BRADLEY Smoking hookah in Times Square. And then me and her wanted to get breakfast foods.

MARISSA We were hoping for something like IHOP in Times Square. So then we went to like where Junior’s is on 44th, and we were asking them, like, where we could find food, because they were just closing. And then the waiter was like pointing us somewhere, and then Snoop Dogg is literally just like walking down the street.

AMY ROSE Whoa.

MARISSA We were like so drunk, so we were just like, What is happening?
