Bethany

When you guys were, were back there in Oklahoma, like, are we talking kind of small town Oklahoma, medium town, uh, like, city? Like, I guess, like, yeah, paint a picture for me.

So Bethany, Oklahoma at that point was the very edge of Oklahoma City, so it's pretty much small town.

I knew all the police officers.

They all knew me.

Um, I'm watching this Yankees and Red Sox game right now, and if you don't realize it, there is an Oklahoma connection.

I'm sitting here close to Bethany, Oklahoma, right by Lake Hefner, and...

The pitcher for the Red Sox, Peyton Tolley, went to Bethany.

And really, I went to Bethany until I was in sixth grade.

Bethany Broncos always represent.

But Peyton Tolley went to Bethany, was a three-sport athlete at Bethany, and where he was – I was talking to my man Caleb Price earlier on today, who obviously his dad is a big-time basketball coach at Carl Albert, or was, just retired – And he was talking to me about how great of a basketball player Peyton Tolley was with Bethany just a few years ago.

And he also was a defensive end and played tight end for the Bethany football team.

And then goes on to...

kid.

I post him on my story and a bunch of people come back and they're like, oh my God, he's from Bethany, Oklahoma, which is close to Oklahoma City where I lived for 10 years, whatever.

So I'm like, even better.

I'm totally a fan of this man.
