Growing up, I'm purposefully different in how I discipline my children because of that. But I still believe that, you know, like in the Bible, right? I spare the rod. I don't beat my kids, but I'm still firm with them. Yeah. But not as firm as maybe how children were raised, especially like back in the day.
Oh, back in the day, you're getting fistfights with your parents. All right, guys, from Minneapolis today, Tony Wells. Thanks for flying in, man. Dude, it's an honor to be here. Yeah, it's going to be a fun one. I haven't had many guests from Minneapolis on, so I'm excited to learn more about the city. And you're at the Timberwolves games all the time, right?
You're right. Yeah. So I'm glad to be here and represent the Midwest. Let's go. How long you been out there? My whole life. Yeah. Born and raised Minnesota boy. We lived in California, Newport Beach for around five years. But ultimately we came back to Minnesota about 2017. Nice. You've seen a lot of growth in that city, right? You know, it's, I'll say in the rural towns.
So there used to be a lot of, I call it like the farm. the farm towns and now it's all suburbia. Nice. That's cool. Yeah. Cause you grew up in trailer park, right? You had some humble beginnings. Yes, sir. How long were you there? Your whole life?
No. So I was in a living trailer park till about fourth grade. Yeah. So my mom, you know, my mom and dad were, they were divorced when I was three years old. Mom was on welfare. My dad lived in a trailer park. And then in fourth grade, I moved up to a city called Champlin with my, with my mom, my stepdad. And, you know, got two sisters, you know, from, from them.
Um, but yeah, it's, uh, the life that I live today is a lot different than, uh, than I was used to growing up as a kid for sure. Do you think you got that hustle mentality from back in the early days? Wanting to work really hard?
I think so. You know, I grew up with no money. So, you know, for me it was, um, No, I always wanted to, you know, fit in, right? So if the kids were wearing, you know, polo designer clothes, like, you know, I wanted to wear that too. You know, back then it was wearing Jordans or it was wearing, you know, the Reebok pump shoes.
But, you know, my family couldn't afford it, you know, so I'm not proud of this. But, you know, for me, in order to get that, you know, I was either stealing or at the age of 15, I was selling dope. Damn. And that's how I was able to... be able to get those kind of clothes. Yeah. I used to shoplift a little bit. You did. I got caught and I haven't done this since. Yeah.
Yeah. I got caught as well. I got humbled. It took me, do you know what Wegmans is? No.
