What is discussed at the start of this section?
It looked like you were going to put your gloves down, but then you didn't. And you put them back on. What does that mean?
I don't know. I don't know. Oh, what's your story? Don't you dare be sour. Clap for Stephanie and Beaver. I wouldn't have married my wife if she was like a Georgia Tech fan.
You're done. It's like you just done. You screwed it all up. The conversation doesn't even start.
Yeah.
What team? Out of here.
She's out. My son is dating a girl, and because she thought it looked cute, she literally had on a Georgia Tech sweat. Oh, oh. And I was like, hey, Maggie.
What?
She goes, was that strike two? I was like, mm-hmm.
Yeah, exactly.
I forget what strike one was.
Sinister, sinister things. What happens after three strikes? I don't know. You're out.
I've seen red flags. She's not good for you, bud.
So you were—how old were you when you moved from North Carolina to Florida?
Oh, I was a baby.
You were? Okay.
Ah. Florida. Did you hear that, guys? The mistake that everybody makes— Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I did that. I did that. I'm not a gator. I'm sorry. I knew—I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Georgia, I'm trying to— Man, we're starting off bad. Can we start over?
I'm trying to, you know, make something— I'm sorry.
Yeah.
You know what? Sean Watson—
She only did that because you didn't know about Massachusetts. Actually, there we go. You're a good friend. I told you she's great at everything. She is. Thanks, Elise. Appreciate it.
Gainesville, Georgia. I was just a baby.
My grandmother lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina. I used to go to the base there in Camp Lejeune. Oh, really? Yeah, because her second husband was a vet.
Did you drink the water? Cause that wasn't good.
May have during those times.
My mom did.
It might explain a lot. Yeah. Yeah. So you, so you grew up in Georgia and where did you grow up? Like in what kind of environment?
What personal stories highlight AJ Styles' upbringing?
So trailer park kid, you know, parents had job, you know, both of my parents had a job, but they just weren't very good jobs. And the older I've gotten, I've realized they are terrible, 1000% terrible with money. They never, either they were stingy with it or didn't know how to use it or I don't know what it was, but they just, they had no idea how to make it work for them.
You know, I think that's actually a failure of the education system.
I agree.
Because you're not taught how to manage money at all. You're not taught about making money. Like, you learn math, but you don't learn how to use, like, actual applied math. Or, like, show us how to fill out tax paperwork. Right, yeah. And what you're going to be expected to do. Because when you graduate high school, you graduate at 18, a lot of people don't go on to school. They go to work.
Yeah, my parents didn't finish high school. Or you get your GED. Yeah. And so, but still, like... if you don't know how to manage your money, you don't know how to write a check, like that stuff can come back to bite you in the butt. People can take advantage of you. Like all that stuff can happen. So I'm assuming that's what happened to them. They just were terrible with money and maybe we could have had a place because the welfare came by our house. I was like, yes, we're going to get food. Right. And they were like, oh, your parents make too much money. I'm like, this is terrible. Really? My mom and dad had four boys. We ate a lot. Yeah. So by a lot, I mean of mayonnaise sandwiches because that's all there were.
You know, there wasn't a lot to eat there. But, you know, it is what it is. It made me who I am. I'm okay with that.
So I agree with that. I think that hard times shape our character. And, you know, I've also my dad grew up in a trailer park. He told me. Yeah. And he said he didn't know what was worse, the outhouse in the summer or the winter, because he didn't have any any, you know, indoor plumbing at first. And then he said, well, summer for many reasons, but winter, you're very, very cold.
I mean, you've got to pee in the middle of the night. Yeah. Holy crap. And it's cold.
Yeah, and especially as we get older, right? Oh, man. It's terrible.
