Billy McFarland delves into the infamous incident involving Andy King during the disastrous Fyre Festival. McFarland recounts how the Netflix documentary depicted a moment where King, an event producer, was told to "take one for the team" to secure water. The story suggests that King was asked to perform a sexual act on a government official to release imported water. According to McFarland, the tale morphed through "a game of telephone" until it reached a surreal level of misconception. McFarland claims he learned the full extent of the rumor only after being confronted by a prison guard while in jail. Despite the notoriety of the story, McFarland clarified that while King offered to do what was needed, the act never took place. He lauded King for his dedication, stressing that he worked tirelessly to make the festival a success and had no part in the financial deceit.
