You ever watch wrestling, pro wrestling?
Well, there was a guy back in the 90s, Chris Canyon.
He used to do a character called Mortis, and then he just decided to go as Kenyon.
Well, he was gay.
He was trying to become the first openly gay pro wrestler, but he was basically ostracized.
His story, he was ostracized from the sport.
And he went into a horrible depression.
I was his roommate at one point.
Right.
Just rented a room in his condo on Clearwater Beach.
And we became really, really good friends.
And he was suicidal.
And so I somehow got his mom's number in Queens and called her.
And she's like an old Catholic lady.
And he was so mad at me.
But I was like, I was like, this is if you don't take that step with people who are talking about killing themselves, they might actually do it.
Exactly.
And it's not about that.
I don't want my friend to die.
I don't care what you guys think.
