You know, Tony's not my real name.
I honestly don't doubt it. Once you told me that last, that pronunciation, I said, that's not your real name.
My full name is Baton Ramez Statovci. But Tony is just coming to me. Just coming to me. Like, my mom, like, what's crazy is I never went by that name at all in my whole life. My mom gave me the nickname Tony.
