Yeah. So did you grow up here in Massachusetts? Yeah, I grew up in Lowell, Massachusetts, which is north of Boston, about a half an hour outside of Boston. It's an industrial city, a mill city, actually. What was that like? Did you have family, siblings, mom and dad? You know, it's funny, I don't talk about my sibling too often, but I do have a sister

who we haven't spoken a long time. She actually wrote a book about me and had it published

and it paints me in a bad light. But my father was a bartender and a bookie. He, um, he worked for a Massachusetts electric

company and he used to take action and take action meaning he would take bets down at the bar at

night. And, um, he was a bartender. And my parents, my parents divorced when I was young. And I

bounced around and, um, I'd always try to go to my fathers go to my father's, but he was a single, you know, he always had girls over one-bedroom apartment.
