The show has a “weird weirdo troll” energy.

“At one point, they had a guy come up and start jumping a dirt bike on the stage,” he recalled. “He wouldn’t know I ride a dirt bike because I picked up that bike and started riding it around the set.

After Chet slammed him as “f–king weird” and a “p–s”, Andre mocked the feud via Instagram.

“Guys, everything Chet said about me is absolutely false,” she told her followers. “F–king liar. And I challenge her to take a f–king DNA test to prove that Tom Hanks is her f–king father.”
