Speaking to Pap Galore, Noah said they had a great time, "It was really fun."
When asked about the backlash, he said, "It is what it is, you know."
"I think, especially the business we're in, it's like you need some time to kind of disconnect for a little."

"That's what that was meant for. It was just a little trip to get away."
"Wanted to get away from everything and we took a private jet, so it was just us."

"It’s like, at the same time, we took all the… we were very cautious with what we did."

He said, "Let’s say, that someone who’s commenting on our stuff, like, 'You guys need to stay home,' and stuff like that."
"Let’s say we DM one of them, like, 'Yo, we want to fly you out to the Bahamas.'"
"If they say yeah, then you screenshot it and say, 'this you?' or something like that. It’s just not even worth it."

"I don’t know, I always say just do what makes you happy."
"And like yes, there’s a lot of stuff going on in the world right now, but at the same time, it’s like, we’ve been so cautious throughout everything."
