Sizzler was the jam.
We're talking 1978, something like that.
She takes us out.
We're having dinner.
And I start telling her a litany of the things he's done to us, right?
The beatings and the brutality.
And then all of a sudden I realized, man, I've just painted myself to look like a big sissy myself.
Like I'm always getting beat up.
And so I remember specifically grabbing the steak knife there.
And they had those really nice steak knives, you know, wood hand.
It's a good steak knife.
I remember if he does it to me again, I'm going to stab him in the neck.
And Susie says, no, Joey, don't do that.
Put it down.
Violence doesn't help.
Just sweet, sweet heart.
And I did that because I wanted to take back some of the, you know, like I'm over here just doing nothing but talking about how I'm being beat on and a sissy.
I feel like I'm a sissy.
Now I want to have some.
So I put a little macho on my base of my face and I she puts me down, says, don't do it.
