And then, you know, that's like 11, 13.

Then, you know, I end up making some bad decisions and get taken out of my home and put into a group home.

And then I got spending time with people that were twice my age.

And now I'm exposed to concepts and ideas that no 13 year old, at the time I was 12, I turned 13 in a group home with people like Shane, who was, I kind of look at back then as a big brother.

was 17 and he'd been to juvenile detention three times by 17 teaching me about life.

Probably not a good role model.

So it was just a lot of that, man.

But.

Well, there's the one I wrote about in my book that, you know, where I stole a car and got a high-speed chase.

Did you run into your house or something?

I ended up crashing into a house and I went for the gun.

That's actually not, that was the byproduct of what happened.

You went for the gun, but it didn't go off, right?

Yes.

But what nobody knows, I never shared this version.

You asked and I've known you 15 years, so I'm going to tell you stuff that I don't talk about.

Because you asked very specifically that you wanted to end it all.

Two weeks prior, um, what happened was I essentially, you know, again, I'm not like massive shame.

I didn't tell anybody this story.

You were there the first time I ever told it for 15 years, but I ended up, um, doing a break and enter, stole a bunch of guns.
