What led you into that? So I think like any troubled kid, um, I mean, maybe not any, but there's a certain amount of, I think, people out there, like when they have something happen to them when they're a child, they're more predisposed to just trying to check out.

Now, for me, just trying to check out was I always had this infatuation with being at a party, being the guy that drinks, kind of numbing myself up. At some point in high school, as I was kind of running away from what happened to me as a kid, it became more of a conscious effort that I'm like, hey, I'm going to go hang out with my boy, Freddie, and I'm going to get drunk.

So that way I can just shut everything off in my head.

And I mean, sure. There's some of it that was just fun, you know, like it started out that way, I think, but I was raised in, um, like a Christian conservative household, um, And my parents made a very, like, conscious effort to steer us away from the path of, like, alcohol and drugs and stuff like that.

They did, but as a kid, if they did, we didn't see it, me and my brother. Interesting. There was a handful of occasions at deer camp where I'd see my dad drink a little bit, but if we did see him drink, it was that or on vacation, and it was very minimal. What was his drink of choice? Samuel Adams. He's an IPA guy.
