Wild Bill

Really cookie cutter American life.

Well, I studied agriculture at a place called Blue Ridge Community College, which in those days was called Blue Ridge Technical Institute.

And we called it Redneck Tech because pretty much everybody that went there was just looking for a trade or something.

So I pulled down an associate's degree in agriculture from Redneck Tech there in western North Carolina in a little town called Hendersonville.

When I was 16, I learned how to make these little black boxes that beat the cable.

You know, everything was cable back in those days, and we made little analog black boxes that would give you pay-per-view and HBO and all the other channels for free.

I made them in the basement of my grandfather's house.

and would sell them for $200 a piece, which was a considerable amount of money in 1995.

You know, I was always doing something.

I was always involved in some sort of a, certainly illegal, but right on the edge of being illegal, but also socially acceptable.

I sold stolen equipment.

I didn't steal it myself, but I sold stolen equipment.

I did all kinds of stuff, you know.

So I remember when I was in college, I dated this chick that was a librarian and she had access to this machine that made like library cars.

And I reset it up to make actual North Carolina driver's licenses.

So if you wanted to buy a fake ID because you couldn't drink until you were 21, you go to college and you're 18, but you couldn't drink.

And all the college kids want to go party in the club, you know.

And so.

If you wanted to buy a fake ID, what you do is you bring me your driver's license and I would scan it.

And what I would do is just change the date, the birth date, and to make you just a little bit older and then make you a driver's license.
