- 1:04Speaker 2: they his friends were talking about. His dad was some
- 1:07Speaker 2: director or something. I don't know too much about it,
- 1:09Speaker 2: but yeah, he was a There's a lot of cool
- 1:12Speaker 2: stories from that that week. I mean, it could go

- 1:25Speaker 2: stories from the of course what you got. The one
- 1:29Speaker 2: thing I can tell you is we had one night
- 1:32Speaker 2: we were right the first cabin right on the water.
- 1:34Speaker 2: There was a break water wall and then it was ocean.
- 1:37Speaker 2: So every night we would go have like group activities
- 1:41Speaker 2: or whatever, and then we'd come back down to the beach.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So there was a cellboat that was off the beach
- 1:46Speaker 2: and it kept shining on the spotlight all across all
- 1:49Speaker 2: of the all of the cabins there. So I believe
- 1:52Speaker 2: it was Leo's idea. He jumped up. He's like, hey,
- 1:55Speaker 2: this all get on the breakwater and moon him. So
- 1:58Speaker 2: we all jumped down on the breakwater. Light goes around,
- 2:01Speaker 2: comes across everybody on the breakwaters just moaning this boat.
- 2:05Speaker 4: It was.
- 2:05Speaker 2: It was pretty hysterical.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You know what's funny is that we've had Leonardo DiCaprio
- 2:10Speaker 1: on the show before and he was great.
- 2:12Speaker 3: He was really great.
