It was a rough, fun, skin your knee up, ride dirt bikes, take your lab out, go a little hunting with the .22 or with a pellet gun. It was wonderful, man. Crack your head open once or twice. Brothers and sisters? I have two. I have a brother and a sister. And, you know, me and my sister, we have our issues, but we're close. It's a close family. It's not like there's any hatred. My brother, no.

My brother, he's awesome. Him and I. It's one of those relationships, though, where it's like he'll call and I'll say, what's up, jackass? Hey. I'll say, yeah, what's up, douchebag? I love you, man. And two years younger than me, we played sports together growing up. And athletics was huge in the family. My dad was a football coach, NCAA football coach.

So when we were at Alamosa, he was the head coach at Adams State. and the athletic director. Then we moved to Brigham Young. We moved to Utah because he got a job as an assistant at Brigham Young University. And that was a one hell of an experience. I look back at it now and it's like, wow, I was blessed because that was during their glory years.

You know, it's just the old school. He was awesome. But, you know, you had Mike Holmgren there, who was the offensive coordinator, who later became the coach of the Packers, won two Super Bowls.

Got to be around, you know, the Pac-10.

It was just a good time being around college when college was college, when it wasn't – Yeah. Propaganda, let's protest about everything.
