That’s when it was like, ‘Alright, we now know what we are destined to do on the planet Earth.’ And go out there and get down like these wild dudes in this bingo hall in South Philly, Pennsylvania, man. That’s what we’ve been doing our whole career. That’s what we’ve been focused on: the violence.”
