So we kind of came for Lonnie, but this older man walks out. I had a problem with older figures, authority figures, because all of the adults in my life I didn't respect. And then I was always being sent to the principal's office for misbehaving in class. So I just had a chip on my shoulder for all adults. Like, there's nothing you can tell me.

Well, actually, to illustrate that, during my mother's wild adventures, I lived with my grandparents for a time. She sent me to military school on two separate occasions where, like, I lived on campus. We were cadets. We wore our little uniforms. We had barracks. We had a house mother. And it's funny. I hated it, but I flourished there. Because if you mess up, you get disciplined.

And we're talking corporal discipline. They had something notoriously known as the cheese paddle, which was a large paddle with holes drilled in it. And they'd swat you with that thing. And suddenly I went from delinquent kid to honor roll and good grades. And so when I was pulled out of military school and went back to public school and realized how much I could get away with,

Kelsey Grammer plays Chuck Smith. Right. In the film. And I think Chuck came out on one service, and I looked at him, and, ugh, an adult. I don't want to listen to an adult. You know, it's going to be boring. And he opened the Bible up, and he began to speak in such an understandable way. So he's like a father, but a benevolent father, but strong.
