Hi friends, how are you today? My name is Bailey Sarian and today is Monday, which means it's

suggest you hit the subscribe button because I'm here for you on Mondays. This one's high always

requested and that is a Jody Areas. You know her? Well, let me tell you, she's crazy. She's, look,

she's different. Great. Glad we had this talk. So first we're going to start with Travis

Alexander. So Travis was born July 29th, 1977 and growing up, Travis said that his life was pretty

to pretty much fend for themselves most of the times. Travis remembered his mom sleeping for like

four days straight and the kids tried their best to make dinner with what was left in the kitchen,

which was like nothing more than canned soup or spoiled food. So as Travis got older, he knew like

his only option to saving himself was to get out of there. So he pretty much moved away to

Riverside, California to live with his grandmother. Now his grandmother, she took him in. She

was Mormon and she introduced him to her faith. Now Travis took his new faith very seriously. He

went to church consistently and was dedicated to his new religion. Even as he grew up and gained

his own independence, he was still very loyal. So when Travis graduated high school, that's when he

went on a mission with his church, which is kind of like a rite of passage. After that, he then

moved to Mesa, Arizona because it was known for its Mormon faith-based community. Mesa, Arizona,

it's located pretty close to Phoenix and is a good size. It's a good size city with like a warm

desert climate. Not even warm. It's hot as balls out there. Don't even lie. I don't know how you

guys do it out there. You guys are wild. Which honestly, that was new for me. I didn't know Mesa,
