What my mom didn't know is I could find a party in that city because Applebee's had happy hour at 12 o'clock. And I got drunk with a bunch of moms with their kids in the little carriers on the ground, like every day. So I didn't go to class. And my mom was infuriated, because she had tried. I kept telling her, mom, maybe school's not for me. I'll get a job. I'll take a break.

I'll mature a little bit. She's like, oh, cool. She's like, let's try that. I was like, all right. So I stalled for like a year. I'd sleep all day, play Call of Duty all night. I'm like, hey, mom, I'm gonna be a professional gamer. She's like, no, you gotta go get a real job. You're a loser. I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm working on a career. She's like, playing video games is not a career.

So finally one day she comes home And by this time, she had met my stepdad. And my stepdad was trying to get me to go, like, he worked, he did something like delivering stuff for the coal mines. And he was like, hey, he took me to work with him one day. And I was like, oh my God, this sucks. I don't want to do this.

And finally she came in and she's like, hey, you need to find a job or you're going to have to go. I'm like, mom, where am I going to go? She's like, I don't know. You can't keep living here because I'm just supporting this. I'm like, okay, that's my mom. I'm the baby child. You're not kicking me out. You kidding me? My mom and papa would light you up if you kicked me out of this house.

I got like sandals on and some gym shorts and a dirty shirt with Dorito cheese all over it and a hat backwards. I'm like, hey man, y'all hiring? They're like, oh, we're not hiring you. And I was like, oh, wow. I thought this was going to be easy. So I go outside and I'm sitting on the bench. I'm like, oh my God, she's really going to kick you out of the house. Where are you going to work?

He's got the old digital camo on. It said United States Army. I was like, ah, man, I'm not doing so good. I'm like, my mom's about to kick me out of the house. I need a job. He's like, you need a job? How old are you?
