Howard asked if Sammy is a billionaire. Sammy said he isn’t but he has plenty of money. He said that maybe he has 250. He said that it’s distracting if you keep track of that. He said you get a big ol’ check for 50 million you don’t feel it. He said you get some gold and silver coins then you feel like you have something. He said there’s something about the paper money. Howard said Michael is looking at him like fuck this guy. Howard asked if Michael is worth something like that. Michael said he is up there somewhere.

Howard asked what this drum is he’s using. Sammy said it’s a Red Rocker Roland set. Howard said it looks like an iPad. Howard asked what he can get out of that thing.

He said he actually likes the guy and the guy doesn’t like him. He said he’s very entertaining to him.

Howard said he doesn’t get what went on there. He asked if anyone gets it. Michael said no. He said they were asking Dave to do something with them but he didn’t answer his door. Sammy said it’s not about being better. He said if Dave wanted to steal the show he could have. He said that he could have sang and Dave could have danced for all he cared.

Howard said it was a big deal for Sammy to replace David. He said that the odds of it working were a billion to one. Michael said they wanted them to change the name of the band when Dave left. He said that’s how big it was.
