So it's like I'm taking, I'm addicted to narcotics and I'm also sucking on a baby bottle to give me comfort.

I didn't even know who they were. So I want to make it clear that when I grew up, like, okay, so most parents, to kind of discipline their children, you know, they're like, oh, the boogeyman's going to get you. Right. Okay. So my mom never said the boogeyman. My mom said the state boogeyman.
