I can go on with my life.

Like my lawyer said, you can be the coffee bean guy now.

It's all yours, man.

Lawyer's a little funny.

But I said, no, let's go find his family.

I said, I got to honor my friend, and I need to find his family at this point.

He died of a drug.

My lawyer's name is George.

I'm like, George, man, look, this guy dies of an opiate overdose, man.

They need to have the understanding of who this guy was and the impact he had in my life.

Exactly.

and um and i did i found his family and um he came from a dynamic family his little sister was the first dallas cowboy shooter ever all right yeah von silbaker his mother his mother opened the first licensed black daycare in dallas in 1948. i mean he came from an incredible family yeah and so i i he's got three living sisters visha von sill and vanessa and i called these ladies up and i told them the story about the time i met their brother and

And they're in complete disbelief, Mick.

They're like, the man you're describing is not our brother.

You met him at a time when he was sober in county jail, but we knew him as the guy that would get high, get into drugs, get arrested, go to prison, come back out of prison, steal from one of us, go back to prison when he gets high on drugs again.

His whole life was incarceration and drug abuse.

They're like, that's the guy we know that you're talking about.

Sorry, that's not the same guy.

And I'm like, listen,

You need to understand that what he did in my life is a big deal.
