grew up in like a middle class like i never really wanted for everything i didn't i wasn't rich

by any means but like i always had toys at christmas time and like i never knew if we were poor or not

you know what i mean does that make any sense yeah of course um yeah christmases were always good

always had like way more than i could ever want as a child. So no complaints and like the first eight years

of my life. After that, it's like, you. You had both parents? Until I was about probably 10. I think

it's when they separated. And then yeah, mom went one way. Dad went the other way. Mom good. Dad,

not so good. Kind of like plum uh, plummeted into drugs and

addiction. My dad was always kind of like a drug addict on and off throughout my life. And then how would,

he would have like, yeah, a year long bits where like you do good. And then, yeah, just, uh, it would

go downhill from there. What about siblings? Uh, I got,

I got like a brother and I got a sister. And they're kind of like their own weird, uh, things too. My sister was pretty young when my parents were split. So like, uh, when they got divorced, we all kind of picked the parent, live with the parent. I chose dad because he's fun. You can do whatever you want. Sister went with the mom who's like about rules and all that good stuff.

And yeah, that's what was.

That was probably my first downfall in life was that right there, that decision.

Do you know if your dad was doing drugs while you were conceived?

It would make sense to me.

Yeah, I could probably, like, my mom would probably say that.

My dad always had his thing, uh, was like liquid cough syrup. He loved liquid cough syrup.

And then got into some like legal trouble for writing fake prescriptions for legal cough syrup, which was apparently pretty easy to do back in the day.

Yeah.

It wasn't a thing.

So do you think those addiction traits got passed down to you from him, looking back on it now? Probably, yeah. I could, yeah, like, it wasn't much, like, when my first drug was, like, introduced to my face. It wasn't, like, it didn't take much. Like, I was like, all right, let's go. So, yeah, there wasn't, like, much debating on it.

So it's probably somewhere deeply instilled in me that I don't even see. So when was that first time
