The crew got to spend a few days with Jimmy in his resident town of Cardiff, CA. Lakai told him to act as if they were not there and to just go about his day as he normally would. Jimmy shows us around his house, makes some food, destroyed us in chess, and let us watch him do some woodworking and frame building.
