So we talked a little current events.

Now I want to talk early days.

So where are you from and what kind of kid were you growing up?

Um, oh, well, uh, I'm, I'm from a town called Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

Um, I make the joke that I'm like the second most famous guy from there aside from little Bow Wow.

And, uh, yeah.

And yeah, I was, my parents were really young.

I mean, my mom, my mom and dad were both 18 when she was pregnant, when my mom was pregnant with me.

So it really wasn't much of an age gap at all.

And I grew up liking the same things that my dad did.

Uh, you know, he was very, took a lot from him, looked up to him greatly.

Um, yeah, it was like a step in my life where we didn't talk for a little while, but you know, he came back into my life and I welcomed him back with loving arms and Uh, she was my football coach growing up.

So I played a lot of sports, uh, did football, did wrestling, um, did catch wrestling and like, uh, mixed martial arts and stuff.

And then, um, I ended up coaching like youth league football with my dad for a couple of years.

So I was that kind of guy, um, at, at like 16.

I, I was kind of, I wouldn't say I was a bad kid more than I was just like, uh, misunderstood.

And I had a short tolerance for bad and stupid people, you know? So kind of gotten a lot of fights growing up, not with like, not really with like family members or anything like that.

It was more so I was just like, I didn't like bullies.

So didn't, didn't have any kind of tolerance for that.

So that got me in trouble and, Um, ended up going to like a vocational school for two years in high school.

And then, um, it was kind of hard to deal with.

So like I, I was kind of pushed on to live with my grandparents as a teenager.

So, um, and we were worlds apart and I mean, she was, my grandmother was a lot older, but she was the type of person that, you know, would take, I mean, literally just like Anybody had a place to stay and had a place to eat at my grandmother's house.

She, she looked out for so many people.

They don't make people like that anymore.
