They used to take off the metal things on the toilet, because they used to have metal detectors to get into the arena, break those off the toilet [and throw them at us]. When you’re warming up [he mimics the sound of something flying by his face.], ‘Oh man, I can’t even warm up. You almost hit me with a lock.’...”
