So I was born in the little town of San Francisco, California.

Oh, tiny.

Tiny.

You know, I was very blessed to have been born in a very large family. I am one or my mom is one of 13 kids and yes and I am one of 32 cousins on her side.

Oh my goodness.

And yes, yes.

So big family, loving family,

That's awesome. What a blessing. Oh yes, yes, a lot to grow up with for sure. So did you grow up in San Francisco?
