  • -You play "Fortnite" later. -Yeah.

  • Jonah said that it's harder -- He cast you guys

  • because he said it's harder

  • to be a good skater than a good actor.

  • He's like, "You can hire good actors,

  • but then they have to learn how to skate."

  • -Yeah, you have to be skating for so long to understand,

  • like, what skating is actually about.

  • I mean -- Yeah.

  • -'Cause -- Well, you can't just, like, learn how to do a trick.

  • I mean, then, you have that down,

  • but what goes into skating?

  • I mean, you see everything. You meet a lot of people.

  • And then you almost -- Sometimes when I'm in a nicer area,

  • I'm like -- I can adjust, like, my personality.
