“I’m becoming more psycho because I’m realizing it now,” Green said. He added, “I want to tell Jeremy, I just want to find out who’s more psycho because I believe he is, too. He has a little bit of that in him, too, and I can see it. The things he’s done, I’m like, ‘Oh, interesting.'”
Green continued, “Let’s find out who’s more psycho, because I’m going to go stand in front of you, and look him crazy in his eyes, and let’s f*cking go. And just, pow, pow, pow, and he hit me and I hit him. Pow, pow, pow. It’s going to go crazy. It’s going to be something crazy, and let’s find out who’s more psycho. I’m willing to do it.”
