    Pete was asked about the boat at the premiere of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

    They asked if Pete was planning on throwing an after-party on the boat, and Pete said, "Yeah, if it's not sunk!"

    "I have no idea what's going on with that thing," he said while shaking his head.

    "Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry. And we're figuring it out," he said.
