Hey, what's going on, family? Listen, we've had a lot of amazing guests on the show, and perhaps

S-O-N-W Classic. When we go back, we revisit those iconic conversations and give those full

episodes back to you. Sit back and enjoy this week's S-O-N-W Classic.

we lived in you know abject poverty my mom was barely you know struggling to take care of myself

and my siblings she's making a little bit over minimum wage
