I'm like, I honestly don't know.

I encourage you just to head down there and I promise you will have a story when you return.

Well, we lived in Mississippi and then Texas and then a couple of years in New Jersey.

But what was it like in the house?

Oh, my gosh.

This would turn into a therapy session.

My mother was also a bit of a partier.

And so it was...

It was kind of a fend for yourself in ways.

My mother's really wild, so it gives me no real gauge of what is a normal life or what a normal mother might do.

I remember her saying,

Sweetie, do you wish I had cookies made for you when you got home?

And I was like, eh, I don't care.

But I mean, there was some structure, like we'd have a bedtime and I don't know.

Yes, well, there's that.

It's so much a part of who...

and where I came from that I sometimes forget to tell that story.

But yeah, my mother would set up me and my brother in high chairs and she would feed us all three meals at one time and then hose us down in our diapers and then let us just run around and dry off.

Did you not get raised that way, sir?

The whole time.
