I used to know the answer to this.

I went to the same school as Bryant “Big Country” Reeves and the school was a pontoon boat and what we learned was that you have to keep Big Country wet or he’ll die. It was incredible to be a part of that.

Sorry. I vowed that I’ll never let myself love again when Creed broke up.
