Brendan Allen

His voice was so gruff.

Like he's a man's man, you know, like one of those.

Doesn't say nothing really.

And so he raised my dad.

And he used to step outside, like kind of mess with him, box.

Like he put him in boxing.

But he knocked my dad out one time.

And my dad was like, you know, oh, man, come on, let's test it.

Stepped on his foot and slapped him.

But anyway, so like when he was in high school.

Dude, my dad said he didn't care about nothing.

My dad said he literally watched him smash his finger flat with a hammer.

The nerves flew out.

Like they were still attached.

They flew out.

Hit his head on throwing bales of hay in the loft Smoked his head on a railroad spike that was in the wood Cracked his skull.

He didn't know till two days later They said if he would have waited a couple like 12 more hours He would have been dead cuz all the swelling on his brain had to cut his brain his skull off to let the fluid come out Oh crazy old just stubborn old man, you know

My dad said... He said we were messing around.

He's like, all right, quit messing with me.

He always told him that.
