people on his personal payroll.

He has a personal assistant, a

party coordinator, an ab trainer,

basketball coach,

an eyebrow specialist,

sneaker jockey,

two umbrella Wranglers,

a weed roller, a weed holder, a turtle

sitter for Maximus, scarf caddy..

(GRUNTS) ...a guy who

punches him in the nuts

so that he remembers where he came

from... (G ROAN S) You're right.

A perspective manipulator...

(MAN SPEAKING)

Oh! That's a guy who's, uh,

slightly shorter than Conner

who he pays to stand near him at

events to make him look taller.

You know, back in my high

school days I was in a band.

You may have heard of them, called Tony!

Toni! Tone! Tonee?

We broke up over

creative differences.

Each Tony had an exclamation

point after their name,

and I thought my name

should have a question mark.

So it would be Tony!

Toni! Tone! Tonee?

In hindsight, it was

not my best decision,

but that led me to Conner.

So who's laughing now?

Here you go, buddy. Ow, dude!

You bit me, Max.

This is my best friend Maximus.

My mom gave him to me

when I was nine years old,

like, right after my dad died.

I feel like he's, like, the

closest thing I've ever had

to, like, a little brother

or something.

If I had, like, a mute brother

that was hella scaly.

As a hatchling, the doctors said

that he had been diagnosed

with soggy bones syndrome

and that he was not gonna make

it past, like, six months,

but that was 20 years ago.

(WHISPERS) You're my best friend.

Don't tell Owen.

Come on up here. This is

Owen's world right here.

This is where

I keep all my gear.

This is one of the earliest synths I

ever got. It's a DX7. This is a classic.

Oh, Conner's show? No, no. In

Conner's show I just use this.

It's a iPod, 60 gigs, so, you

know, I can fit the entire show

and, uh, plus, like, a bunch

of dope audio books, you know.

AUDIO BOOK NARRATOR: It was

year three at Hogwarts,

and Harry was worried it

would never get any easier.

Harry P.

You know, a lot of

people ask me that.

They say, like,

"ls it weird for you

"to be playing

the background now

cause, you know, you used

to be in Style Boyz?"

And I always say,

"No, man, not at all!"

Because I... I could never do

what Conner does, you know?

(PEOPLE CHEERING) CONNER:

Look, I'm a perfectionist-

My first album sold four million

copies, so this one has to sell more.

And that's why

I take this so seriously,

you know, and I live

for this music.

And... (SIGHS)

It can't go away.

That's why I personally wrote

every song on this record,

and I used over 100 producers

for just 17 tracks,

to guarantee

that they're all hits.

I made a lot of the beats

on the first record,

but on this one Conner said he
