[B]THE FULL EXTENDED INTERVIEW:
Opie: Yeah. Contracts aren't the greatest thing. I didn't know what I was signing at the time.
Anthony: The company's always going to get what they want in a contract. Your lawyer or agent's job is to then negotiate with them to get the best deal for you. It's never exactly what you want, though. Usually the company gets a few things that you wouldn't like in there. The fact that we're not working right now is a good example of that. But when you're signing with them, it's all balloons and birthday cake.
Opie: Oh yeah, the boss came in with a five foot pen for us to sign the contract. Everything was great. I'm like, "Maybe I should read this thing before I sign." And they're like, "Oh, you don't need to read that."
