What personal struggles did Tammy Davis face growing up?

And they were like, what do you want? I said, I want a patch and a Harley. That's all I want. Yeah, bro. Shits. Yeah. Yeah, bro.
He has yarns for days filled with laughter, tears. It was a real rollercoaster of a combo. The thing is, I think I hit it hard, but fucking showed his shit.

Man, I wish we'd just finished having full-on conversations out there. I know. Yeah, so some of it we can't play on here, but we'll see where this goes, eh?
But how you been? 100%. Yeah, no, real good, bro. Real good. Real good. Just cruising. Cruising at the moment. Yeah. Yeah. Life's life.
Yeah, I was saying that we were out there. I was going, man, I like your glasses.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they're pretty swish, eh? Everyone's got them now.
Yeah. Where'd you get them from? Let's mention them so maybe we need sponsors.
Yeah, Specsavers. No, I did a content piece for Specsavers. And I went in there and they gave me a code. for a free pair of glasses. And so I went in there and sat down and the young lady goes, hey bro, this code gets you any glasses you want. And she goes, and I said, really? She goes, yeah, any lenses and any glasses. She goes, let's get you the best ones. Because my, you know, and they're progressives. So the, you know, progressively as my eyes start to shift, you know, my eyes shift with the glasses and stuff, which is good. So yeah, yeah. When did you start? Sorry, what's that? What's that? When did you start noticing that you were actually blind? Oh, probably about two years ago. I just kind of, the phone was, the phone was, you know.
Did you ever lazy, because I remember when I was, because I've always needed glasses.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But my parents stopped buying them because I kept losing them, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember one time I was at a school camp and I thought I'd use them as goggles.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I went to school camp with glasses, came back without them and that was the last pair of glasses I had. Yeah, yeah. Until like very recently. But I remember I had a lazy left eye.
Mm-hmm.
So I started noticing.
How did Tammy's experience at George FM impact his career?
When I started noticing something's wrong is when I was talking to someone and they'll go, is he talking to me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did that happen to you? Oh, yeah. No, no, it's just both my eyes are the same. You know, you've got that, what is it called? Cross-eyed.
My eye was cross-eyed. So that's what I mean. I'll be sitting here and this eye's looking straight, that eye's looking over there, and the people that I'm talking to don't know if I'm fucking talking to them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, see, if we were at school, I wouldn't have grabbed your cheek, but probably behind your back, I was like, oh, Bangoa Dave. Who's our Bangoa Dave?
Is he coming?
Here he comes. Don't call him Bangoa.
You know, but that's what kids would have, you know, back in the day, you probably got a little bit of that. Oh, I got a lot of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, not by, no, nah, because you're a big guy. I don't reckon too many people would have got it. Yeah, probably more so, like, yeah, behind the back stuff. But it was more that I'm trying to talk to someone. They didn't know if I was fucking talking to them. That was quite awkward. I know what you mean. And the more tired I got, the more cross-eyed it went. So by the end of the day, it's fucking near in my head. So before we get started, what happened at Georgia Femme?
