Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kail Wally. And you're listening to Barely Famous.

All right, y'all, welcome back to Barely Famous. I'm sitting with a local entrepreneur, Bobby Jones.

So you're the owner of Brightside in Dover, Delaware?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

And you reached out to me and told me about your story a little bit.

And I didn't go too in-depth online about it because I wanted to talk to you about it. Um, so I kind of want to just start from the beginning. You have a story about foster care and kind of struggling during your childhood. Um, but then you became an entrepreneur and I think this is a story that a lot of people can relate to. So at first, you talk about growing up in poverty. What was

that like? Where did you grow up? Right in Magnolia, Delaware, we had a little single-wide

trailer. There were five of us in that house. And the main reason that I ended up in foster care

was because my parents were addicts. They had struggles with addiction. Both of them? Yeah. And it's kind of interesting because

they had separate drugs of choice, which is kind of unique, I think. But my mom, she actually

spiraled because she ended up getting diagnosed with cervical and ovarian cancer and she had like 11 surgeries

in a 12 month time span.

Oh wow.

And the results of that was a lot of pain.

So they just started throwing pain meds at her.

And at that time, oxycontin was this big new thing that was supposed to save everyone

and live life without pain. And so they prescribed

her 160 milligram oxycontin. And that was only around for a couple years before they literally

outlawed that and discontinued it. Okay. But by then, I would imagine it was probably too late for her.

Well, it was. They still had her own like 80 milligram oxycontin's for a while. But again, like you said, at some point, they took her off the medicine.

And once they took her off the medicine, she had to resort to alternative ways to fix that addiction.
