We merged with the Hells Angels.

But, yeah, that was the background of all these guys.

It was all the same.

As I said, we're all in likely manner.

But that patch and that structure separates us.

And sometimes that blurred the lines of what, you know, you see now and became them big, like to call them wars, but became them big skirmishes with each other, you know, all over America.

Yeah, it's what you do when you're there, you know?

I mean, backgrounds, you know, you could be a scholar, you could be the best SEAL, the best whatever you were at, you know?

But they're gonna judge you on how you are and how you act and how you are in the moments and stuff, you know?

I mean, I seen a lot of guys come into the club and not make it, you know, just couldn't, uh, mentally, you know, run them late hours or, you know, be part of that.

And, you know, um, had a few personal friends of mine that are my dearest friends to today and two in particular, and, uh, you know, they wanted to come in the club and now at this time I'm the president.

You know, we already merged to the Angels, but this story, I'm the president, and they came to me, and I said this, same for you guys.

I said, you see the fun stuff, the running around, the women, the partying, and the red carpets rolling out to us, but you're not seeing when one of our guys' daughters is jumping up in the casket, rubbing her father's hair for the last goodbye.

And we laugh and joke about it to this day, Sean, with my friend Jamie and Chuck, and I say, yeah, thank God that...

know god had his hand on us all i said because you guys would have been doing the penitentiary shuffle with me you know later in life right and uh you know i seen guys not everybody is could make that cut back in the day you know it took a lot of dedication a lot of time and you know being ready for what we seen was coming i seen the the big play coming you know especially when we decided we all agreed that we were gonna

merge and you know join the hells angels and right in the backyard of the outlaws who's you know started out back in the day and i think they started out in 35.
