Interviewer: So Larry, how long have you lived L.A.?
Larry: I guess  it been about 8 years now.
Interviewer:What was it like when you first moved here?
Larry: Oh, it was really nice! Everyone was so nice to me! It was like a
dream! Then I went to Costa Mesa one day and met John "Daddy" Yoo...
Interviewer:Yes?
Larry: yes.
Interviewer:Um, yeah?
Larry: Uh, huh.
Interviewer:What happened when you met "Daddy" Yoo?
Larry: Oh, sorry. Ive been having trouble staying focused lately (this was
later attributed to Larrys MTG abuse) Well, everyone has been telling me
to stay away from him. Fuchi, Nick and Obiah all warned me. I thought they 
were kidding. But--
Interviewer:They werent.
Larry: Not at all! When we first met, he pretended to be my friend. He
showed me around. Then he started to do mean things.
Interviewer:Like what?
Larry: One thing he liked to do was make "special cookies" for Brian Weissman. 
Brian ate one during a tournament, his eyes got all googly and he
went berserk, running around yelling "Card Advantage!". "Daddy" Yoo laughed
the whole time. Said he did it alot.
Interviewer:Thats horrible! What did you do?
Larry: Nothing really. I just thought it was a dumb joke. Then came the
party.
Interviewer:Party?
Larry: Yeah, my welcoming party. "Daddy" Yoo started drinking and he ----cut----
Interviewer:Dear God!!
Larry: Yeah. Right there in front of everybody. After that, I tried to keep
my distance from him.
Interviewer:Did it work?
Larry: Not really. For a month or so he still pestered me help him in his
pranks. One time he dragged me along and told Jessica Scott that
her dog had died. It was awful. Poor Ms. Scott was in
tears. After about five minutes, "Daddy" Yoo took Ms. Scott into
the bathroom to comfort her. They were in there for hours, and she
was screaming for most of the time... and I'll always remember that
haunting laugh.
Interviewer:So what finally happened?
Larry: I told "Daddy" Yoo I didnt want to be his friend anymore. He stayed pretty
calm, looked my right in the eye and said "----cut----" I just wanted to
throw up.
Interviewer:Larry, you've been a very brave person for doing this interview. I
wish you luck.
