Pete Davidson says he and Colin Jost bought that ferry because they got high

Aux News Pete Davidson
To paraphrase the eternal words of Afroman: Pete Davidson and Colin Jost bought a decommissioned Staten Island ferry because they got high.
Last year, the King Of Staten Island and the King of Staten Island Summer bought a decommissioned Staten Island ferry, and Davidson has been paying for it ever since. On the red carpet for Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Tuesday, a reporter for ET asked about the boat, and Davidson was surprisingly forthcoming about how he procured the ship, even if he has “no idea what’s going on with that thing.”
“Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry,” he admitted. “And we’re figuring it out.” Meanwhile, we’re trying to figure out how someone gets so stoned they spend $280,000 on anything other than donuts and possibly bootleg Bart Simpson t-shirts.
Either way, it sounds like he’s suffering buyer’s remorse over the purchase, despite figuring out how to work it into a Weekend Update segment in which he declared the thing the “windowless van of the sea.” However, now he’s hoping his windowless van of the sea “turns into a Transformer and gets the fuck out of there, so I can stop paying for it.”
Speaking to The New York Times last year, Jost called buying the ferry the “riskiest thing he’s ever done,” which is impressive because this guy is going around telling everyone that he has A Very Punchable Face. “Worst case, we just dock it somewhere and make it New York City’s biggest houseboat.”
It’s unclear whether the ferry is operating as a houseboat, but when asked if Davidson would host an after-party with the cast of Transformers on the ferry, he joked, “Yeah, if it’s not sunk.”

Afroman failed to warn us about this.
This reminds me of the time I got drunk and accidentally ordered the shipwreck of the Mary Celeste on Amazon. Goddamn Subscribe-And-Save. I was forty-nine ghosts deep before I could even understand the Amazon return policy on sea-bound ocean-wraiths. It’s not the shipping that gets you, either. It’s the handling.
Had a very prolonged, robust laugh at this, thank you. Take that star.
I like the way you handle yourself.
I do always enjoy the handling.
I have only ever bought too many cheeseburgers. So I guess I don’t understand how other people use the word “stoned” because this sounds more like cocaine.
which I’m led to understand is a “helluva” drug.
Just to be clear Pete always making a life decision while he’s high. I didn’t even recognize which one is his “sober” face.
Livin’ the dream, right?
What’s this guy going to be doing in 10 years? I don’t know what he did last year.
A Kardashian, I believe.
Um, touche. Or is it tushie?
what he did last summer?
He’s in the new Transformers? That’s awesome cuz I was wondering how I could see this movie even less.
If you are high right meow you are sure to enjoy the new SPR3 music video!
Afroman is impressed!
This reminds me of the time that Pete Davidson is a dumpster fire who is terminally online and thirsty to see his name in headlines.
and high!
I’m HIGH AS FUCK rn, just got done giving the monthly IT security metric briefing out.If you bought a ferry, you weren’t high on weed. You’re keeping your name in the headlines.
…for him it was…Tuesday…!
How pissed is Scarlett Johansson about this?
Imagine if Pete gave $280,000 to a local Staten Island school or community outreach program instead..
But hey, its his money to waste.
I wish I was rich enough that I could blow $300k and then just shrug it off. I’d waste it on something far more interesting than an old ferry, too.
