Let's spin the block one more time: Episode 1

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:34.640
Music.

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:40.860
And welcome back, you guys. This is another episode of the Knucklehead Chronicles

00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:42.760
podcast. This is your boy, Terry.

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.900
Now, normally I do video podcasts and stuff and send out clips and all that.

00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:51.220
But I think what I'm going to do in this particular series is just do a strictly

00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:55.300
audio podcast only to where, you know, hopefully you guys will go and look for

00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:59.840
it and want to listen to it. Because I have a story to tell.

00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:04.620
I mean, I've told this story. This is my origin story. I've told it a few times before.

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:10.380
But I've gotten a lot of new listeners since the very first time I did it.

00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.620
And sometimes people are just like, okay, who's this guy that I'm listening

00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:15.700
to? And why should I listen to him?

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:20.360
And so I'm here to answer that question for you. I'm here to kind of give you

00:01:20.360 --> 00:01:26.260
some insight of where I come from, who am I, and all of that.

00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:32.940
And so we're going to get into it because there's a lot of things that's happened.

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.340
Since I've been on this thing. So just to get it started, right?

00:01:38.440 --> 00:01:43.560
I'm 50 years old. Let me say that first. That way, anybody can give me any kind

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.660
of old jokes. I go ahead and do that while you listen to it and laugh at it

00:01:46.660 --> 00:01:48.680
while you run down the road.

00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:51.940
But anyways, I'm 50 years old.

00:01:52.320 --> 00:02:00.660
I remember when I was a kid, and my first story, the first thing that I can remember is.

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:10.420
When I was 17 and no, I might have been 16 because I was I was just becoming a father.

00:02:10.600 --> 00:02:15.040
I had my first my oldest my eldest daughter was born when I was 16 years old.

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.920
So it had to be 15.

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:25.000
Anyways, this is when I first found out that the man who raised me all these

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.380
years that he's raised me.

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.400
This is what this is the this is when I found out that he was not indeed my biological father.

00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.060
He was my brother's daddy, but he wasn't my daddy.

00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:39.740
So at 15, I remember, you know, I'm from a small town out of North Carolina.

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:44.380
And you know how small towns are. You know, everybody knows everybody.

00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:46.760
You know, and so that's what happened. Everybody knows everybody.

00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:50.680
And so we only had one high school, one middle school, you know.

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.620
And so that's this young lady that I had a crush on. Crushed bad, real bad, you know.

00:02:56.620 --> 00:03:02.100
And I remember going to tell my mom was Saturday morning on Saturday and I never

00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:04.760
forget it because it was hot and my mother,

00:03:05.890 --> 00:03:10.570
Well, I was late. She's always sleeping on Saturdays. So I'll go ahead and sit

00:03:10.570 --> 00:03:12.910
on the side of the bed with her and we'll talk and whatever.

00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:19.170
And so I told her, mom, I said, I got this girl. Man, she's,

00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:21.750
you know, I'm really feeling her, what have you.

00:03:23.150 --> 00:03:25.730
And she's like, well, okay. Well, who is she? What's her name?

00:03:26.010 --> 00:03:29.110
Whatever. And I was like, well, this is her name, you know.

00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:34.630
And she was like, oh. And she gave me the long pause, the long dramatic pause.

00:03:34.630 --> 00:03:39.730
And she was like, you know, you can't, you know, you can't date her.

00:03:39.890 --> 00:03:42.490
And she said, and I said, well, why? Why can't I date her?

00:03:43.150 --> 00:03:49.130
She said, because, you know, you guys share, you guys share a father.

00:03:49.890 --> 00:03:54.770
I'm like, wow. Okay. It's weight. So are you telling me that the man that,

00:03:54.990 --> 00:03:58.730
are you telling me that the man that raised me isn't my, it's my real dad?

00:03:58.870 --> 00:04:02.430
And she was like, you know, yeah, I hate to say it, but yeah.

00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:07.790
Emotional damage definitely came my way because i

00:04:07.790 --> 00:04:10.570
had no idea that you know i always thought that

00:04:10.570 --> 00:04:14.730
he was my father you know i didn't think anything of it you know but that is

00:04:14.730 --> 00:04:18.730
when life for me changed and that's when life for me kind of looked different

00:04:18.730 --> 00:04:23.170
because i was like okay somebody's lying you know around the way and i'm like

00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:27.810
why are they reminding me you know and i really like this girl So,

00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:28.930
of course, I had to backpedal.

00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:34.810
And I was like, I can't, you know, I can't rock with you because I can't rock

00:04:34.810 --> 00:04:39.250
with you because I know that you're not, that we have the same father.

00:04:39.450 --> 00:04:44.150
So, for many, many moons after that, I thought that this young lady's father

00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:46.210
was my biological father, right?

00:04:46.710 --> 00:04:50.730
And it was hard, you know, at that point in my life, I was 15,

00:04:50.950 --> 00:04:53.490
16 years old with a daughter, you know.

00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:58.250
I really didn't know what I was doing, first of all. and now I'm thrust into

00:04:58.250 --> 00:05:04.810
fatherhood and now I feel like I've been lied to my entire life because the

00:05:04.810 --> 00:05:07.650
man that raised me isn't my really reasonable, my father.

00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:12.510
Things between me and him changed because there was a level of respect,

00:05:12.770 --> 00:05:17.510
mutual respect that we had or that I had for him and once that came out,

00:05:17.570 --> 00:05:20.010
I was like, you ain't my daddy, brother.

00:05:20.430 --> 00:05:22.390
You know what I'm saying? I could do it. You ain't my daddy.

00:05:22.630 --> 00:05:27.190
Oh, whatever. That's kind of be the attitude that I took. and.

00:05:28.099 --> 00:05:35.819
It did not fare well for me. I ended up getting put out of the house because

00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:37.239
of the disrespect that I gave him.

00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.399
I ended up living with my grandmother who lived, fortunately,

00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.019
she lived across the field from me.

00:05:43.219 --> 00:05:49.139
My mother had a mobile home in the town that we lived in.

00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.619
And my grandmother had a trailer right behind us. So I just moved across the

00:05:53.619 --> 00:05:55.239
field to my grandma's house.

00:05:56.699 --> 00:06:01.139
At that point in my life I was still in school still trying to make it just

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:06.119
making all kinds of bad decisions just doing crazy stuff you know not really,

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:08.279
not really being a father not,

00:06:08.799 --> 00:06:11.799
you know being who being the man that I needed to be,

00:06:12.459 --> 00:06:18.779
and as you as you listen to this series you will see that that was my that was a running,

00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:23.659
that was a running thing for me I did that a lot because I did not know how

00:06:23.659 --> 00:06:28.239
to be a father because what happened was right before all this news came out,

00:06:28.359 --> 00:06:31.119
I mean, I was never, I was never giving the birds and the bees talk.

00:06:31.739 --> 00:06:35.019
So, you know, some people, they get that automatically. They get the birds and

00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:38.179
the bees. They get the, you know, when a man loves a woman type deal.

00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:40.799
I never got that. So I was, I winged it.

00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.579
My first few years of being a father, I winged it. So I didn't know what I was doing.

00:06:46.219 --> 00:06:48.499
So I hurt a lot of people going forward.

00:06:49.559 --> 00:06:54.799
So I kind of muddled through, got in trouble with the law a little bit with

00:06:54.799 --> 00:06:55.899
the child support and all that.

00:06:56.099 --> 00:06:59.639
Ended up going to court and it was just amazing.

00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:05.699
But my mental at that point was I hated everybody. I didn't trust not a single

00:07:05.699 --> 00:07:08.739
soul because everybody's lying.

00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.299
My thought process was everybody's lying.

00:07:11.939 --> 00:07:17.519
And so I kind of disparaged my mother.

00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.459
Like I was really, really mad with her. Like why would you take all this time?

00:07:21.559 --> 00:07:25.259
Why would you wait? because I'm 16, 17 years old to tell me that this man is not my father.

00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:31.039
So that was my excuse for my bad behavior. Okay, notice that I said, excuse.

00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.919
And, you know, and I made a lot of them. I made a lot of bad choices.

00:07:37.599 --> 00:07:41.019
So I made it through high school, graduated, you know.

00:07:41.539 --> 00:07:46.239
I went through not knowing what I was doing with my life. I don't know what's next.

00:07:47.019 --> 00:07:51.079
I, you know, I was so confused. Like I said, you know, got a daughter,

00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.859
baby mama she wasn't she wasn't too bad you know what I'm saying but bad enough

00:07:56.859 --> 00:08:00.979
where they put the fear of God in me her dad her dad was a very

00:08:01.239 --> 00:08:05.519
burly man and he didn't play because of his granddaughter the rest of his soul,

00:08:06.818 --> 00:08:14.118
But it was hard. So I abandoned my daughter, you know, for the lack of a better

00:08:14.118 --> 00:08:16.038
term. I abandoned my daughter.

00:08:16.598 --> 00:08:20.938
And so I was like, well, I don't know what I'm doing. So let me do something else.

00:08:21.298 --> 00:08:27.838
So I went to the military, which was a complete waste of time. I will tell you that.

00:08:28.678 --> 00:08:35.018
An absolute complete waste of time. I signed up with the Army National Guard.

00:08:35.818 --> 00:08:39.838
And I went in on a split bill. So anybody know anything about that?

00:08:39.938 --> 00:08:45.458
That is when you sign, like I signed up the summer of my senior year.

00:08:45.878 --> 00:08:49.678
I was employed by the government. I worked for the government.

00:08:49.678 --> 00:08:53.038
I went to drills. I got paid through the government.

00:08:53.478 --> 00:08:58.018
But then when I graduated from high school, then I went to boot camp.

00:09:00.178 --> 00:09:02.398
Boot camp is a funny story. It really is.

00:09:05.958 --> 00:09:10.318
So I did the first half And I got paid It was fun I mean I went to drill I didn't

00:09:10.318 --> 00:09:14.358
do shit Excuse my French I didn't do nothing Because we weren't authorized Because

00:09:14.358 --> 00:09:17.638
we haven't been through training yet So it was just We just there You know,

00:09:18.258 --> 00:09:21.318
And So I graduated from high school I,

00:09:24.258 --> 00:09:31.558
And then I got my orders To go to boot camp Now My first duty station Of course

00:09:31.558 --> 00:09:33.518
boot camp was in Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

00:09:34.158 --> 00:09:37.738
Now, if anybody's watching this and know anything about Oklahoma, it's hot out there.

00:09:37.858 --> 00:09:44.098
And I went in the summer of 1993 before half of you guys that listened to this were born.

00:09:45.918 --> 00:09:50.478
1993, I went to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I tell you the worst.

00:09:50.898 --> 00:09:54.958
I met some good folks, some folks that I caught up with on Facebook just a few

00:09:54.958 --> 00:09:57.218
years back that I've been looking for.

00:09:57.718 --> 00:10:04.238
But with the boot camp, I'll give you guys, if anybody listening to this has

00:10:04.238 --> 00:10:08.438
ever watched a movie In the Army Now or Pauly Shore.

00:10:09.618 --> 00:10:13.278
That movie was filmed at Fort Seale.

00:10:13.418 --> 00:10:16.098
Everything you see in that Army section of that movie in the beginning,

00:10:16.478 --> 00:10:17.418
that's what I went through.

00:10:17.718 --> 00:10:21.598
Everything. The buildings, the black senior sergeant that was in that movie

00:10:21.598 --> 00:10:23.258
was my senior sergeant, Adam Stokes.

00:10:24.338 --> 00:10:31.198
It was just that. So the military wasn't for me. It wasn't for me.

00:10:31.318 --> 00:10:35.298
I had a girlfriend back home, you know, so I got homesick a lot.

00:10:35.438 --> 00:10:39.518
I used to, I used to have, I had a picture of her in my, in my helmet.

00:10:39.978 --> 00:10:43.638
So I took my helmet off. Anytime I took my helmet off, I would see a picture

00:10:43.638 --> 00:10:45.198
of her and it made it worse. Right?

00:10:46.038 --> 00:10:50.838
So the military was just a bad, bad situation. I'll give you a,

00:10:50.838 --> 00:10:51.918
I'll give you a short story.

00:10:52.238 --> 00:10:55.838
One story from the military that'll make you laugh. This is,

00:10:55.958 --> 00:10:57.698
this podcast is going to be a series of stories.

00:10:57.898 --> 00:11:00.778
So just get ready for that. Right? So,

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.440
One, one particular day, the platoon was supposed to go on a road march,

00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.300
you know, and I didn't want to go. So I was just being lazy. I didn't want to go.

00:11:12.140 --> 00:11:15.860
So I told my drill sergeant that I was sick. So I went to the,

00:11:15.860 --> 00:11:18.680
I went to the TMC, which is the health clinic.

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.340
And they gave me, they gave me some antidiarrhea meds and sent me back to the barracks.

00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.240
So I got back to the barracks. Nobody was there. They're still on the road march or whatnot.

00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:35.780
So I get to the barracks and I realize, hey, I'm sleepy.

00:11:36.140 --> 00:11:38.580
But of course, you can't get back in your bunk and go to sleep.

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.320
That's not great because if the platoon comes back and you're in your bunk,

00:11:41.460 --> 00:11:42.380
you're going to get in trouble.

00:11:42.900 --> 00:11:46.680
So I ended up going to sleep in the latrine, the bathroom.

00:11:47.640 --> 00:11:51.760
So on the shower bench where everybody would sit and wait for the shower,

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.600
I went to sleep on that bench. Bad move.

00:11:57.420 --> 00:12:01.620
Bad, bad, bad move. So I fell asleep and I must have gotten to a deep sleep.

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.040
And I remember my drill sergeant coming in to the bathroom and him waking me up.

00:12:07.773 --> 00:12:13.653
And when I tell you, I ain't never in my life been screened at as much as I

00:12:13.653 --> 00:12:15.133
was that particular day.

00:12:15.493 --> 00:12:19.793
He got me up out of the latrine. He didn't touch me.

00:12:20.473 --> 00:12:25.213
I think at that time, the protocol was you can't really touch the cadets or

00:12:25.213 --> 00:12:27.233
whatever. So he took me to his office.

00:12:27.433 --> 00:12:35.733
Now, mind you, my MOS in the National Guard was 13 Bravo, which is field artillery,

00:12:36.133 --> 00:12:40.693
right? So, of course, in his office, he had two artillery shells in front of his desk.

00:12:41.053 --> 00:12:43.053
Now, these things are about 80 pounds apiece.

00:12:44.473 --> 00:12:48.693
So what he did was he made me pick up one of those artillery shells and hold

00:12:48.693 --> 00:12:51.413
it and cradle it in my arms in front of his desk while he drilled me.

00:12:51.973 --> 00:12:57.973
Right? So, of course, I'm weak. I don't know. What am I doing trying to hold a damn artillery shell?

00:12:58.493 --> 00:13:03.413
So I had to stand I had to stand there for five minutes holding this artillery shell because,

00:13:04.113 --> 00:13:09.953
of what I I went to sleep in the drink so he's like he's told me he said little

00:13:09.953 --> 00:13:14.913
put it down and you better not drop it and what did I do I dropped it,

00:13:15.413 --> 00:13:20.833
so I'm sure if you go back to the 13th Bravo Barracks in Forza,

00:13:20.933 --> 00:13:26.033
Oklahoma on the on the third floor you'll see that crack in the floor and they haven't fixed it.

00:13:27.053 --> 00:13:30.113
If they hadn't fixed it. And so he wasn't done there.

00:13:30.613 --> 00:13:37.713
So he took me outside, dreaming for a little while with the sand fleas and the

00:13:37.713 --> 00:13:38.913
scorpions and all that jazz.

00:13:39.113 --> 00:13:41.353
And then he took me back inside of the building.

00:13:41.573 --> 00:13:50.833
Now, the entire battery was in a meeting with the battalion commander and everybody, right?

00:13:51.213 --> 00:13:57.513
So my platoon was there. you know he takes me to this meeting in front of the

00:13:57.513 --> 00:14:02.653
whole entire battalion takes me into this battalion tells the captain hey,

00:14:03.273 --> 00:14:06.253
this cadet decided he wanted to go to sleep while we were on road march,

00:14:07.134 --> 00:14:10.574
And the captain was like, oh, yeah, do what you got to do. And he drilled me

00:14:10.574 --> 00:14:13.314
in front of that battalion, the entire battalion.

00:14:13.414 --> 00:14:17.694
We're talking at least 300 soldiers in there watching me get burned up because

00:14:17.694 --> 00:14:18.574
I was sleeping on the train.

00:14:18.694 --> 00:14:22.534
So that was, you know, life lesson, life lesson. And at that point,

00:14:22.734 --> 00:14:25.194
at that juncture in the game, I said, you know what?

00:14:25.654 --> 00:14:30.234
I am not going to stay here in the military because of the embarrassment that I took.

00:14:30.374 --> 00:14:34.854
It's my fault, but it's still with the embarrassment. So I thought of every

00:14:34.854 --> 00:14:41.014
single way to, I thought of every single way to get out of the military, right?

00:14:41.994 --> 00:14:46.774
So I ended up taking my way the rest of the way. I think I made it to week six.

00:14:47.454 --> 00:14:51.014
Because what happens with the military? Back then, I don't know how it is now,

00:14:51.114 --> 00:14:55.214
but back then you did eight weeks of boot camp and then you did five weeks of

00:14:55.214 --> 00:14:57.394
what they call advanced training, which is AIT.

00:14:58.094 --> 00:15:00.274
So I was in week six of boot camp.

00:15:01.074 --> 00:15:05.194
And I went back to the medical clinic and I was like, you know what?

00:15:05.294 --> 00:15:06.194
I don't want to do this no more.

00:15:06.834 --> 00:15:10.274
No, I don't know what's going on. So they examined me and I was like,

00:15:10.374 --> 00:15:13.154
we can give you a medical discharge.

00:15:16.114 --> 00:15:18.954
Or you have flat feet.

00:15:19.474 --> 00:15:22.174
That's what they told me. That's the excuse they gave me. They said,

00:15:22.174 --> 00:15:26.594
you got flat feet, you know, whatever, you can get out. You have a mild arch, you know, whatever.

00:15:27.194 --> 00:15:32.134
I said, well, if I take the mild, if I take the, The flat feet thing, can I get out of here?

00:15:32.754 --> 00:15:36.194
And he was like, yeah, sure. You know, they gave me an RE-13,

00:15:36.714 --> 00:15:41.534
a re-entry code 13 on a DD-214, and they let me go.

00:15:43.224 --> 00:15:44.144
Here's the bad thing about that.

00:15:46.544 --> 00:15:50.124
One thing about the military, I don't know if they do it now,

00:15:50.264 --> 00:15:51.464
but they did it back then.

00:15:51.964 --> 00:15:55.364
They will send you anywhere first class, right?

00:15:55.924 --> 00:16:01.844
But baby, if you don't make it, they put you on a bus. That's exactly what they did to me.

00:16:03.564 --> 00:16:07.964
They threw me out of the military. That's the reason why anytime I answer any

00:16:07.964 --> 00:16:10.424
kind of veteran questions, I'm like, no, because I didn't make it, right?

00:16:11.344 --> 00:16:15.004
So they threw me out. And they put me on a bus, on a Greyhound.

00:16:15.144 --> 00:16:18.224
It took me four days to get home from Fort Sill.

00:16:18.804 --> 00:16:21.924
And I said, that was the worst experience ever. It's just the worst.

00:16:22.424 --> 00:16:26.324
So if you're listening to this and you're thinking about going to the military, don't fuck up.

00:16:28.184 --> 00:16:30.384
They're going to throw you out and they're going to put you on a bus and you're

00:16:30.384 --> 00:16:33.844
going to be swimming like corn chips in depression. I promise. So don't do that.

00:16:34.944 --> 00:16:41.364
So I got home after the military, and life was just, oh, God,

00:16:41.484 --> 00:16:44.884
I can't even explain just mistake after mistake.

00:16:45.224 --> 00:16:50.084
And, you know, when I was in the military, I had my mom. I had stolen my mom's long-distance cards.

00:16:50.244 --> 00:16:54.064
See, back in the days, people who were listening, you know, that are younger

00:16:54.064 --> 00:16:57.784
than me, probably don't remember long-distance wasn't free.

00:16:57.884 --> 00:17:03.304
You had to get a card and call the card number and then put in your long-distance number.

00:17:03.844 --> 00:17:06.844
You know, all that. I ran the phone bill up to like three grand.

00:17:07.064 --> 00:17:09.364
My mom was mad. You know what I'm saying? I can imagine. You know,

00:17:09.444 --> 00:17:11.224
she was pissed by the time I got home.

00:17:12.004 --> 00:17:15.264
And she was like, you ran the phone bill up to $3,000 and this and this and

00:17:15.264 --> 00:17:18.984
this and this and this. And it was tragic.

00:17:19.864 --> 00:17:23.664
I made a lot of dumb mistakes, man. You know, this is just the beginning.

00:17:25.684 --> 00:17:28.284
This story I'm telling you about today is just early on mistakes.

00:17:28.444 --> 00:17:32.724
It's like goofball mistakes because I didn't know. I didn't have,

00:17:32.844 --> 00:17:37.844
I felt like I didn't have any kind of leadership going in.

00:17:37.964 --> 00:17:42.244
It was kind of like, you know, I lived my life. Nobody really told me anything.

00:17:42.684 --> 00:17:48.184
You know, my mom and dad, they beat this Christian moral into me.

00:17:48.644 --> 00:17:51.484
You know, everything's the devil. It's kind of like Bobby Boucher's mama,

00:17:51.664 --> 00:17:54.784
everything's the devil. You know, so it was kind of like that.

00:17:55.884 --> 00:18:00.064
But I did learn some things. I took some things from it, but not very much,

00:18:00.364 --> 00:18:05.404
right? And so once I got home, I tried to make some, I tried to make some changes,

00:18:05.424 --> 00:18:09.044
but it didn't, it didn't really much matter.

00:18:09.464 --> 00:18:14.244
I ended up at this point, I think I'm like 18, 19 years old.

00:18:14.704 --> 00:18:19.604
And this is when I go into my first marriage. And so I'm going to cut it off right here, right?

00:18:20.084 --> 00:18:22.384
Because those of you that don't know, I've been married three times.

00:18:22.904 --> 00:18:28.384
All three failed marriages, all three of them, my fault. But we'll get into

00:18:28.384 --> 00:18:30.364
that later down the road. so yeah,

00:18:31.648 --> 00:18:34.668
After I come home, I start making decisions, start, you know,

00:18:35.628 --> 00:18:41.088
in between jobs, not doing what I am really, really doing, messing with my mom

00:18:41.088 --> 00:18:43.948
and my dad, you know, just having a really hard time in my life.

00:18:45.308 --> 00:18:49.568
So this is, I'm telling you, listen, if you guys stick around,

00:18:49.648 --> 00:18:51.908
I can promise you, anybody that has listened to this story before,

00:18:52.168 --> 00:18:55.688
they'll tell you how entertaining it is, and they'll tell you that I can tell

00:18:55.688 --> 00:18:58.308
a story that nobody's business. So make sure that you stick around.

00:18:58.948 --> 00:19:01.888
But I'm going to go in the next series, in the next episode,

00:19:02.488 --> 00:19:07.328
I'm going to go into my first marriage because that was a total mess.

00:19:08.808 --> 00:19:15.468
I got a great daughter out of it, Brianna, but my first marriage emotionally was a complete mess.

00:19:15.628 --> 00:19:17.728
But we'll get into that in the next episode.

00:19:18.468 --> 00:19:21.908

Again, I love telling my story because I feel like I want to,

00:19:51.128 --> 00:19:58.068
I want to be able to help someone to not make the same mistakes that I did because it's easy to do.

00:19:58.248 --> 00:20:01.708
It really is easy to make the same

00:20:01.708 --> 00:20:05.188
mistakes, bad choices, it didn't blame everybody else for your mistakes.

00:20:05.588 --> 00:20:12.188
It's which what I did for many moons is I made the bad choices and the bad decisions

00:20:12.188 --> 00:20:13.588
and now I blame everybody else.

00:20:13.768 --> 00:20:19.208
So hopefully me telling my story again will help somebody not do it.
