Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

As an adult, he would say, you know, I was just a scared 12-year-old, and I was doing the things that I needed to do to survive.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

But the perception that I had of him...

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

I was this, like, fucking gangster who would literally kick the shit out of me and happened many times.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

But through all of that, we became friends.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Speaking of being powerless or how do you think you can get out of it, we would think about this.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

At this point, he's probably 13, I'm 10.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

I really planned my escape at 10 years old.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

We would just sit down.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Well, you know, Dave, smart kid.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Maybe you could go to college.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

I'm like, college?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Oh, you know, what's college?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

You can get money for college.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

The funny thing about the ACCH or volunteerism in general is people do it for a short amount of time.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

So for about a month, we had this karate instructor come and teach us a few moves of karate.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

He went to college on the GI Bill.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

That karate instructor had.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

That karate instructor had, yeah.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

You can get scholarships is the upshot.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And so from that moment on, the way I describe it is it's like in Harry Potter, the Patronus spell.
