1
00:00:01,201 --> 00:00:03,003
Let's see. Oh.

2
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:03,570
Oh. That's right.

3
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:06,272
Oh, our director says we're on.

4
00:00:06,272 --> 00:00:10,110
Oh, well,
Our sponsor.

5
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:11,611
Yeah. We'd like to thank our sponsor, too.

6
00:00:11,611 --> 00:00:13,113
Once again,
we're going to mention it again.

7
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:15,281
Woodwinds in Branford, we love them.

8
00:00:15,281 --> 00:00:17,851
I do a lot of weddings.
It’s just Silvio’s sauces.

9
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:20,320
Oh. Best taste that a couple episodes.

10
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,888
I had I should have brought you some.

11
00:00:21,888 --> 00:00:22,956
I will, I will.

12
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:25,859
Next time you'll be back
salivating, though.

13
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:28,294
What's good with John
and Joyce is sponsored by woodwinds,

14
00:00:28,294 --> 00:00:30,697
wedding and special events
venue in Branford, Connecticut.

15
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:35,702
And Silvio's award winning Italian sauces,
which you can buy any time online

16
00:00:35,902 --> 00:00:40,473
at Silvio sauces.com
that's Silvio sauces.com.

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,208
I'm salivating for part two of this.

18
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:45,945
We have so much fun with the first time
around with Adam here again

19
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:47,147
we're going to introduce him.

20
00:00:47,147 --> 00:00:49,215
For those of you
tuning in for the first time here.

21
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:52,218
But welcome back to
What's Good with John and Joyce.

22
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:54,888
And we're available on all
streaming platforms.

23
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:55,989
We appreciate you having us on.

24
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:59,359
I'm John Cadillac
Seville from iHeartRadio, along with

25
00:00:59,592 --> 00:01:02,996
and Joyce Logan, who is his, co-host.

26
00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:04,864
Yeah, yeah, she's so many great books

27
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:09,202
like Starving Your Fears
and also my new one out of the now.

28
00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:11,204
Did you need to add your collection of.

29
00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:13,273
Thank you, John, for plugging my books.

30
00:01:13,273 --> 00:01:14,841
Quite good. Absolutely.

31
00:01:14,841 --> 00:01:16,342
But Adam, we go way back.

32
00:01:16,342 --> 00:01:18,845
You know, Joyce and, Michael Bolton.

33
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:21,114
There's a bit of a connection,
which we'll get to shortly,

34
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:23,583
but you've used music to bless
so many people.

35
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:27,187
You've had such an amazing ride
over the years.

36
00:01:27,187 --> 00:01:29,756
You've had your ups,
you've had your downs, but you've used

37
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:34,894
those situations to just empower and bless
so many people along the way.

38
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:37,230
And you're still doing that
all these years later.

39
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:41,334
Joyce and I both admire you, admire
everything you're doing, and welcome back

40
00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:42,802
to what's covered.

41
00:01:42,802 --> 00:01:46,339
And please listen to part one
because Adam tells fabulous,

42
00:01:46,673 --> 00:01:48,708
stories and information about.

43
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:52,345
So we don't want to go through maybe
everything again, but listen to part one,

44
00:01:52,345 --> 00:01:55,181
then jump over here because it's amazing
what we're going to talk about.

45
00:01:55,181 --> 00:01:58,585
His appearance also on a reality show
about a year ago that he not

46
00:01:58,585 --> 00:02:04,791
only was on Joyce, but he and he wanted me
to try to conspire against him.

47
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:08,128
It didn't work at this time.

48
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:12,465
I have to talk about this show
because I really feel this is it.

49
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:15,468
This is like,
what a metaphor for your life.

50
00:02:15,502 --> 00:02:17,203
Yeah, the microcosm for sure.

51
00:02:17,203 --> 00:02:18,538
Yeah, I like that. Yes.

52
00:02:18,538 --> 00:02:19,172
Because.

53
00:02:19,172 --> 00:02:22,375
So, Adam, could it say
anything that he was on so nobody knew?

54
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:24,210
Because you're under strict contract.

55
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:26,446
You can't talk about this.

56
00:02:26,446 --> 00:02:30,550
And when I saw he was on a claim to fame,
which I had watched the previous season,

57
00:02:31,117 --> 00:02:34,120
my immediate thought was,
oh, he's got this.

58
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:37,991
He's going to win because he knows

59
00:02:38,558 --> 00:02:41,761
how to read the room
and eventually got there

60
00:02:42,662 --> 00:02:48,801
and said, you are invincible
when it comes to really what you want.

61
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:54,474
And I knew you had your eye on the prize,
but I saw that it was a little bit

62
00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:59,145
difficult because suddenly
you don't have your music with you, right?

63
00:02:59,212 --> 00:02:59,546
Yeah.

64
00:02:59,546 --> 00:03:04,284
You don't have anything
and you really have to connect with people

65
00:03:04,284 --> 00:03:07,387
and figure out their psyche
along with your psyche

66
00:03:07,887 --> 00:03:09,255
and how to figure out who they are.

67
00:03:09,255 --> 00:03:14,027
So the premise of the game is everybody
there is related to someone famous.

68
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:18,531
They don't know who the audience does
not know who the person is.

69
00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:19,098
Yeah.

70
00:03:19,098 --> 00:03:25,038
And if you guess wrong at the end,
but you have to see the whole show.

71
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:29,209
If you if you're the guesser
and you guess wrong, you go home.

72
00:03:29,242 --> 00:03:30,009
Yeah.

73
00:03:30,009 --> 00:03:34,214
And Adam, each week, not only were you

74
00:03:34,647 --> 00:03:37,650
a little bit under the radar smartly so,

75
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,420
but at one point and there's challenges

76
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:43,923
like a NASCAR racer kind of laying low
waiting for that opening.

77
00:03:43,923 --> 00:03:44,424
Right.

78
00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:47,327
He was because there was
there were a lot of,

79
00:03:47,327 --> 00:03:49,262
I'm sorry, I'm talking
too much about this.

80
00:03:49,262 --> 00:03:50,730
I want to hear from you.

81
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:53,700
But there were a lot of people
that you had no idea.

82
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,169
Like who these people even were
that they were related to.

83
00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:57,937
Oh, yeah. Yeah,
especially in the beginning.

84
00:03:57,937 --> 00:03:59,305
I mean, you are really.

85
00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:01,741
Yeah. Yeah, I have no clue who they are.

86
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:04,577
So take me through this
because here's one challenge

87
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:08,715
where you are so injured
that I'm yelling at the TV going out.

88
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:10,783
The blood is dripping down his head. Yeah.

89
00:04:10,783 --> 00:04:14,821
He he's got, you know, the ambulance,
the paramedics, ankle injury.

90
00:04:14,821 --> 00:04:15,722
This was a physical.

91
00:04:15,722 --> 00:04:17,957
This was a this is a guy second went up.

92
00:04:17,957 --> 00:04:19,459
This was a physical injury.

93
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:24,063
And I'm yelling no no because I'm thinking
they can't put him back in

94
00:04:24,063 --> 00:04:25,531
with a head injury.

95
00:04:25,531 --> 00:04:29,402
You came back in with a bloody bandage
on your head.

96
00:04:29,535 --> 00:04:31,170
You got you've got the audience.

97
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:32,672
I'm sure really excited about it.

98
00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:33,573
Tell me.

99
00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:33,973
Yeah.

100
00:04:33,973 --> 00:04:36,542
How did you get to claim to fame?

101
00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:38,811
And then what was the experience?

102
00:04:38,811 --> 00:04:41,648
What was it? Overwhelming.
Was it fun? Yeah.

103
00:04:41,648 --> 00:04:42,515
Oh my gosh.

104
00:04:42,515 --> 00:04:43,583
So just a year ago,

105
00:04:43,583 --> 00:04:47,887
I actually just aired a year ago today
and a year ago this time on.

106
00:04:47,887 --> 00:04:50,290
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it was just something else.

107
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:54,227
So we also caught the, season before,
and my wife and I

108
00:04:54,227 --> 00:04:57,297
are going to just looking at each other,
and she knows what's on my mind.

109
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,799
Right. And she's like, oh, boy,
is he going to ask?

110
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:02,535
Because at the end they say, you know,
if you if you can be on the show

111
00:05:02,535 --> 00:05:05,438
because you're related to celebrity,
you know, you can apply.

112
00:05:05,438 --> 00:05:08,474
So I was just amazed at the connection

113
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:12,445
that I was feeling with these people
because we all have this weird thing

114
00:05:12,445 --> 00:05:13,680
where you're related to a celebrity

115
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,948
and people treat you differently
when they know.

116
00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:19,919
And there's also a not, you know,
there's people that aren't like just their

117
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:21,354
sons or daughters.

118
00:05:21,354 --> 00:05:25,224
There's cousins,
there's levels of relationships to them.

119
00:05:25,725 --> 00:05:27,060
And so to me, that really caught me.

120
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:28,728
I was like, absolutely, I want to do this.

121
00:05:28,728 --> 00:05:31,197
And so my wife helped me apply for it.

122
00:05:31,197 --> 00:05:34,801
Crazy
story is a lot of the people on the cast,

123
00:05:35,168 --> 00:05:38,705
were found through DMs, so they were just
trying to cast for the show.

124
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:41,174
They actually reached out to Issa

125
00:05:42,141 --> 00:05:43,676
Holly here and Michael's daughters

126
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:47,046
to be on the show, and at this point
I had no idea I had called.

127
00:05:47,113 --> 00:05:49,382
As I said,
he's, I'm talking with this show.

128
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:50,850
I'm Michael Bolton's
daughter, right? Yep, yep.

129
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:53,786
They might, they might,
they might bring me on.

130
00:05:53,786 --> 00:05:56,789
I don't know, I sort of hope
you guys are cool with me going on.

131
00:05:57,156 --> 00:06:00,626
And she's like, well, funny thing is,
they ask me and I can't do it right now.

132
00:06:00,626 --> 00:06:02,295
And I suggested they reach out to you.

133
00:06:02,295 --> 00:06:05,765
So they had an,
and an application from my side,

134
00:06:05,932 --> 00:06:10,169
as well as a referral from my cousin
to do this thing.

135
00:06:10,169 --> 00:06:12,572
So I didn't realize
I was going to get picked.

136
00:06:12,572 --> 00:06:15,041
I didn't think I wasn't
sure was going to happen.

137
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,509
I kind of put it in the back of my mind.

138
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:18,978
And they really make you wait to know

139
00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:20,847
whether or not
you're going to be on the show.

140
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:21,881
They string alone all day.

141
00:06:21,881 --> 00:06:24,751
Oh boy. You got about a week.
And then I was like, okay.

142
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:26,119
And so we were lucky to find it.

143
00:06:26,119 --> 00:06:29,689
You know,
the filming was not like very long at all.

144
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:31,290
Oh, good. Two weeks. Yeah.

145
00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:35,361
And so yeah, I think I got the green light
from the wife and I said,

146
00:06:35,361 --> 00:06:39,365
all right, so we're going to LA
and they sequester you immediately.

147
00:06:39,365 --> 00:06:42,935
They take your cell phone, your you're
put in a hotel room by yourself.

148
00:06:42,935 --> 00:06:45,705
You know, you get a little iPad to like,
watch the movies or something.

149
00:06:45,705 --> 00:06:48,341
But you're sequestered. And

150
00:06:49,442 --> 00:06:51,277
that was my first time away, really?

151
00:06:51,277 --> 00:06:53,746
From the kids, my business.

152
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,181
My wife.

153
00:06:55,181 --> 00:06:57,517
And it got quiet quick. Okay.

154
00:06:57,517 --> 00:06:58,484
So it's been very tough.

155
00:06:58,484 --> 00:07:02,355
Yeah, I had my I brought my you
my good to with me in the hotel room.

156
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:06,192
Again, my strategy was to,

157
00:07:06,392 --> 00:07:08,861
not sing, not let on that Michael's length

158
00:07:08,861 --> 00:07:11,864
because we have both of raspy voices
and things.

159
00:07:12,665 --> 00:07:15,401
So, yeah, the game got started,
and here I am meeting

160
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:19,338
all of these people
and I just started to take this,

161
00:07:20,373 --> 00:07:24,677
experience as a blessing
because I'm getting paid to come to L.A.

162
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:27,680
to live in a mansion, right?

163
00:07:27,814 --> 00:07:30,049
No real responsibilities. All the foods.

164
00:07:30,049 --> 00:07:30,883
Oh, yeah.

165
00:07:30,883 --> 00:07:32,251
Everything's taken care of.

166
00:07:32,251 --> 00:07:34,554
I'm hanging out.

167
00:07:34,554 --> 00:07:37,423
I'm a nervous about me
getting eliminated week one.

168
00:07:37,423 --> 00:07:41,327
So I kind of started to kind of
get into the anxiety part,

169
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:42,795
but then quickly realized

170
00:07:42,795 --> 00:07:45,565
that if I look around,
there's a lot of places to meditate here.

171
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:47,834
There's the exercise machines,

172
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:51,103
there's this beautiful shower,
I call it my sunset shower.

173
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:53,840
Got all the amenities.
Oh my gosh, the shower was incredible.

174
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,309
You had about 15ft ceiling, right?

175
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:59,445
Steamer shower heads for every rainforest.

176
00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:00,279
It was a rainfall.

177
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:01,080
It was a rainforest

178
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,617
with a window that you opened
and you looked out at the Hollywood Hills

179
00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:05,818
and that was my sunset.

180
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:09,288
I'd watch the sunset and
and I would talk to birds and, you know.

181
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:09,856
Yeah.

182
00:08:09,856 --> 00:08:13,259
And and really started keeping to myself
once I realized that,

183
00:08:13,593 --> 00:08:15,061
people were going to be working with me.

184
00:08:15,061 --> 00:08:18,030
I had one strong alliance,

185
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:20,566
with with HUD Mellencamp.

186
00:08:20,566 --> 00:08:22,468
And he doesn't know it's HUD. Melanie.

187
00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:23,936
No, he has no idea.

188
00:08:23,936 --> 00:08:24,804
Yeah, yeah,

189
00:08:24,804 --> 00:08:27,740
but I just I connected with him
because he has a tattoo of a lightning

190
00:08:27,740 --> 00:08:28,508
bolt on his leg.

191
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:31,143
And Joyce,
he showed me a tattoo of his leg.

192
00:08:31,143 --> 00:08:32,645
And Joyce,
you worked with John Mellencamp?

193
00:08:32,645 --> 00:08:35,648
I did write just a little aside. Side?

194
00:08:36,115 --> 00:08:36,949
Yeah. Front of you.

195
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:40,052
So he had a tattoo of a lightning
bolt on his leg, and I thought.

196
00:08:40,052 --> 00:08:42,088
And he showed it to us all pretty early.

197
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:44,724
And I said, well,
there's something happening here.

198
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:48,094
And so we connected,
and he ended up saving me at a point

199
00:08:48,094 --> 00:08:51,097
I really needed a name,
and he gave me the right name.

200
00:08:51,264 --> 00:08:53,299
Got through that experience. Yeah.

201
00:08:53,299 --> 00:08:55,568
What an emotional roller coaster. I mean,

202
00:08:57,303 --> 00:08:57,904
looking at my

203
00:08:57,904 --> 00:09:01,841
kids, in the pictures
that I had would bring up so much emotion.

204
00:09:02,074 --> 00:09:05,978
It's just that there was one experience
that I had with, with Naomi, and

205
00:09:06,012 --> 00:09:10,082
she was telling me about her experience
with her celebrity relative snorkeling.

206
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:11,317
Right.

207
00:09:11,317 --> 00:09:14,687
And for some reason, she's just telling me
this story and a tears starts

208
00:09:14,687 --> 00:09:15,521
falling down my eye.

209
00:09:15,521 --> 00:09:18,024
We're just tell a normal story.

210
00:09:18,024 --> 00:09:19,959
And then another tear comes down.

211
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:24,964
All of a sudden
I am full on weeping, healing

212
00:09:25,164 --> 00:09:29,201
from this story that she's telling me
about her experience with her cousin.

213
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,404
Right? I ran into the other room.

214
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:34,507
I bury my head in the thing
and I just start healing.

215
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:35,975
Healing.

216
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:40,079
So this is Naomi, Molly Ringwald, Molly
ringwald.

217
00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:40,580
Yeah.

218
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:45,151
Okay, so I'm just I'm just healing
in this moment of my connection

219
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:48,754
to my relative because it wasn't as close
as going snorkeling, right?

220
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:52,525
So I was living through this experience
and, like, vicariously through that.

221
00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:54,360
And then it just healed me.

222
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,761
I started weeping and healing

223
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:57,163
and a couple of the contestants

224
00:09:57,163 --> 00:10:00,099
started jumping on my bed,
trying to get snap me out of it.

225
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:02,301
And I said,
this is a good thing right now.

226
00:10:02,301 --> 00:10:03,302
I needed to.

227
00:10:03,302 --> 00:10:06,272
This is the whole reason why I'm here, is
because I needed to address

228
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:10,176
my relationship
with my relative and also, like, meet you.

229
00:10:10,176 --> 00:10:12,345
All right. Yeah, yeah.

230
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:13,112
And there it was.

231
00:10:13,112 --> 00:10:18,384
I was I wrote in my journal,
I was like, even if I don't win $100,000,

232
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:23,856
that cry right there was worth this trip
because I just I let it all out.

233
00:10:23,923 --> 00:10:26,492
Yeah. And again, you know,
I want the good thing.

234
00:10:26,492 --> 00:10:27,326
I'm sorry. Go for it.

235
00:10:27,326 --> 00:10:31,063
It's just to remind the audience that you
all don't know who you're related to.

236
00:10:31,063 --> 00:10:31,364
Yeah.

237
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:34,300
So when she's talking about her
snorkeling,

238
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:36,535
you don't know it's Molly Ringwald
she's related to.

239
00:10:36,535 --> 00:10:39,405
Or someone's
with, Michael Jackson or whatever.

240
00:10:39,405 --> 00:10:40,873
You don't know any of that.

241
00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:43,009
And, Adam, just out of curiosity,
a quick aside,

242
00:10:43,009 --> 00:10:45,211
who are the other celebrities
that they're related to?

243
00:10:45,211 --> 00:10:48,347
There's a there
is there's so many that can splutter.

244
00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:49,649
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

245
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,184
I came out to the end.
It came out to the end.

246
00:10:52,184 --> 00:10:54,620
The finale. We're really.

247
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:56,322
This is what it all came to.

248
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:58,324
The entire house is working against me.

249
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:02,762
They were in tights actively were we were
talking about the biblical comparison.

250
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:03,496
Right.

251
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,165
And to tell them who they thought
you were,

252
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:07,299
it was a couple things about you.

253
00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:09,735
It was really related to you. Steer
people away.

254
00:11:09,735 --> 00:11:11,170
The idea is to steer people away.

255
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:13,606
Everybody
thought I was related to an actor.

256
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:15,875
Yeah, two truths and a lie. So I said,

257
00:11:16,876 --> 00:11:20,613
my uncle is my relative, best known
for being an actor.

258
00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:23,282
And the biggest award
he's ever won is a Grammy. All right.

259
00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:25,484
So everyone thought
because of my personality.

260
00:11:25,484 --> 00:11:29,088
And I did some acting on the show,
that definitely actor.

261
00:11:29,088 --> 00:11:31,190
This person is related to an actor,
no doubt about it.

262
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:35,094
So the guess is they
had, Dustin Hoffman for me,

263
00:11:35,394 --> 00:11:38,898
that Owen Wilson for me,
they just kept throwing out actors.

264
00:11:39,131 --> 00:11:40,666
And so I'm thinking

265
00:11:40,666 --> 00:11:43,969
keep them coming because, every time
they bring me up there to guess me.

266
00:11:44,136 --> 00:11:44,970
Right.

267
00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:47,940
So there's one moment I'm sitting on this,

268
00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:49,475
it's my turn to be the guesser,

269
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:53,312
and everybody thinks,
I don't know who anybody is except my boy.

270
00:11:53,312 --> 00:11:54,680
Hyde comes through

271
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:58,350
and he hears through the grapevine
that she's related to Molly Ringwald.

272
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,686
And she was in our alliance,
and she turned on me.

273
00:12:00,686 --> 00:12:01,520
She turned everybody.

274
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,391
She began to turn on me,
calling me spoiled that I had,

275
00:12:06,025 --> 00:12:08,294
I was just here, privileged
all the privileges.

276
00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:10,229
I'm just eating off everybody's answers.

277
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:13,933
And it really started a dialog,
for the audience to start looking at me

278
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:15,768
as a person who,
when they're dialing against you.

279
00:12:15,768 --> 00:12:18,137
Is that acting?
Is this real? Oh, it's very it's very.

280
00:12:18,137 --> 00:12:18,904
Yeah, it's it's culture.

281
00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:21,841
I mean, it's like, you know,
the cool kids are in the in-group, okay.

282
00:12:21,841 --> 00:12:23,776
And because they want to win too.

283
00:12:23,776 --> 00:12:25,144
So whatever era

284
00:12:26,545 --> 00:12:27,580
I don't know what they were doing,

285
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:30,583
but it was, it was obvious that,

286
00:12:31,784 --> 00:12:34,787
I thought,
I thought I had a good plan with,

287
00:12:34,787 --> 00:12:38,190
with Naomi and HUD to work together,
take each other's

288
00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:41,994
clues, keep each other safe into the end,
and then whoever wins at the end wins.

289
00:12:41,994 --> 00:12:42,194
Right?

290
00:12:42,194 --> 00:12:45,197
So I called it
a friendly stab right at the end,

291
00:12:45,397 --> 00:12:48,367
and then she just turned on it,
which showed HUD who.

292
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:51,604
Now she had HUD's clue that, well,
you know, at this point

293
00:12:52,404 --> 00:12:54,106
we could just get rid of Adam.

294
00:12:54,106 --> 00:12:56,142
And he's like, well,
then I'm next on the chopping block,

295
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:57,409
so I don't want you around.

296
00:12:57,409 --> 00:13:00,446
So then he found out who she was related
to, told me so

297
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:03,449
then when the time came,
I wrote her name on my wrist.

298
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:04,049
Yeah, yeah.

299
00:13:04,049 --> 00:13:08,654
I had my picture of Grandma Helen,
who I brought my grandma michael's mother.

300
00:13:08,988 --> 00:13:12,091
So my grandmother, Helen,
I brought her ashes with me

301
00:13:12,725 --> 00:13:16,428
to, to cast, to put out her ashes in Santa
Monica Bay, right.

302
00:13:16,562 --> 00:13:17,563
She loved California.

303
00:13:17,563 --> 00:13:18,597
She loved California.

304
00:13:18,597 --> 00:13:21,233
She would always say, yeah,
I got to play this song.

305
00:13:21,233 --> 00:13:24,036
Okay, go. Yeah. Let's go. Well,
we would wait for a song.

306
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:28,474
She would always say, I should have never,
never left California.

307
00:13:29,108 --> 00:13:30,309
All right.

308
00:13:30,309 --> 00:13:32,344
So never left California.

309
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:34,880
Never left California.
I think you never heard this one, but.

310
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,589
She'd say,

311
00:13:43,589 --> 00:13:46,592
what, are you freaking drunk?

312
00:13:46,592 --> 00:13:49,562
After I'd call her on the phone.

313
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:54,800
Let's say something crazy.

314
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,636
She just like

315
00:13:57,636 --> 00:14:00,973
she always made me feel at home.

316
00:14:01,307 --> 00:14:05,010
A million things in the refrigerator,

317
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:08,647
nothing in the pan.

318
00:14:08,647 --> 00:14:12,418
So we just go and get some Chinese.

319
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:17,022
She was a celebrity

320
00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:20,526
down at the local store with the Indians

321
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:23,529
and the police.

322
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:27,499
And she'd say, praise the Lord

323
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:31,103
and pass the ammunition.

324
00:14:31,470 --> 00:14:32,938
Oh, evade!

325
00:14:32,938 --> 00:14:35,941
What do you stop?

326
00:14:36,976 --> 00:14:39,445
Praise the Lord!

327
00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:41,547
Pass the ammunition!

328
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:45,117
And grandma had a way to get along.

329
00:14:46,318 --> 00:14:47,786
Like, there's more to it.

330
00:14:47,786 --> 00:14:50,089
You know, I hear that. Great.

331
00:14:50,089 --> 00:14:52,591
I, I think John Prine.

332
00:14:52,591 --> 00:14:54,660
Oh, yeah, I think John Prine. You know.

333
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:56,829
John. John. Hi. Little country.

334
00:14:56,829 --> 00:14:58,264
Heard John Prine again.

335
00:14:58,264 --> 00:14:59,465
Yeah. I just want to sing.

336
00:14:59,465 --> 00:15:04,069
When I heard our, Adam Sings Steel Bars,
which was a big hit for Michael

337
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:06,405
with Bob Dylan.
I remember hearing that. Great.

338
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:12,111
But when we were singing it, I thought,
because you did it as, like a slower pace.

339
00:15:12,111 --> 00:15:12,745
Yeah, yeah.

340
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:16,749
And I thought, okay, I hear Michael
and Bob Dylan in your voice.

341
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:19,952
Do you know,
I just wanted to interject the story.

342
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:23,489
I mean, you probably heard this,
but when Michael was riding with Bob.

343
00:15:23,856 --> 00:15:25,157
Bob like Bob Dylan.

344
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:26,825
He said at

345
00:15:26,825 --> 00:15:30,729
one point, he left the room
and he didn't come back.

346
00:15:30,729 --> 00:15:32,264
You know,
you left him, like, stranded. Yeah.

347
00:15:32,264 --> 00:15:36,168
And then he asked the housekeeper,
is he coming back and asking me?

348
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:38,604
Oh, he's out sweeping the garage.

349
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:42,374
Oh, I guess
I guess that's how he has to think.

350
00:15:42,374 --> 00:15:43,409
Maybe that way.

351
00:15:43,409 --> 00:15:45,911
But he doesn't tell you he's leaving.
There's Bob Dylan. Yes.

352
00:15:45,911 --> 00:15:47,579
But then. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

353
00:15:47,579 --> 00:15:49,014
It's like those people
that hang up on you.

354
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:51,417
Never say goodbye. Yeah,
they just hang up the phone. Right?

355
00:15:51,417 --> 00:15:52,318
We all have those people.

356
00:15:52,318 --> 00:15:54,954
And Bob Dylan meant
just so much to me growing up.

357
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:57,856
My mom turned me on to Bob Dylan. Like,
my mom turned my girl on Bob Dylan.

358
00:15:57,856 --> 00:16:00,826
Nashville skyline. Yes,
with Johnny Cash. Girl from the.

359
00:16:00,826 --> 00:16:01,927
Oh my gosh. Yeah.

360
00:16:01,927 --> 00:16:03,796
I mean, and his stories and his thing.

361
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:06,799
I actually ended up coming to the Lord
through a song he wrote called

362
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,934
Ye Shall Be Changed
in the blink of an eye.

363
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:11,270
When the last trumpet blows,
the dead will arise and burst

364
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:13,906
out of your clothes,
and ye shall be changed.

365
00:16:13,906 --> 00:16:17,710
And so I always wanted to thank Bob Dylan,
and I got a chance

366
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:21,380
to thank him in my dream once,
which was really powerful and,

367
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:23,182
then I just went
to go see him at the beacon.

368
00:16:24,283 --> 00:16:26,385
And as my
wife and I were driving around the block

369
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:29,388
to go find a parking space,
he came right out of his,

370
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:33,192
out of his tour bus, and I said, Bob,
I just want to thank you.

371
00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:36,895
Thank you for all of your words,
all of the things that you helped me

372
00:16:37,363 --> 00:16:39,031
through in my life.

373
00:16:39,031 --> 00:16:39,565
And Bob.

374
00:16:39,565 --> 00:16:41,300
Bob was a huge influence on me.

375
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:42,601
Talk about poetry.

376
00:16:42,601 --> 00:16:46,105
So when Mike and Michael, I,
you know, steel bars, steel bars

377
00:16:46,105 --> 00:16:46,805
wrapped all around me.

378
00:16:46,805 --> 00:16:48,841
I've been your prisoner
since the day you found me.

379
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,143
I'm bound forever to the end of time.
Steel bars

380
00:16:51,143 --> 00:16:53,012
wrapped around this heart of mine.

381
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:54,213
What could all my living mean.

382
00:16:54,213 --> 00:16:56,015
When time itself is so obscene.

383
00:16:56,015 --> 00:17:00,719
Time itself don't mean a thing I'm still
loving you I mean, come on has profound.

384
00:17:00,719 --> 00:17:01,954
But yeah. So hard.

385
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:04,123
So. Yeah.

386
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:05,991
Graham,

387
00:17:05,991 --> 00:17:07,626
had Graham in my hand.

388
00:17:07,626 --> 00:17:10,262
I got Molly Ringwald written on my wrist.

389
00:17:10,262 --> 00:17:13,232
And here, in this moment,
I'm thinking to myself.

390
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:17,236
Okay, Adam, it's my turn to guess.

391
00:17:17,236 --> 00:17:18,170
They make you go.

392
00:17:18,170 --> 00:17:20,873
You know, Naomi,
I think your celebrity relative is.

393
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:23,242
Pause, then say it.

394
00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:25,444
And in that pause, I blacked out.

395
00:17:25,444 --> 00:17:26,645
Yeah, I don't know what happened.

396
00:17:26,645 --> 00:17:30,449
I saw that I got I,
I got completely spaced out

397
00:17:31,083 --> 00:17:34,386
and I'm like an I don't know if it's
because I knew I had a written on my wrist

398
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:36,855
that I had like a backup plan
that I didn't like.

399
00:17:36,855 --> 00:17:38,123
Stay on point.

400
00:17:38,123 --> 00:17:41,493
But here I am,
you know, looking at my wrist,

401
00:17:41,493 --> 00:17:44,897
trying to read my shaky handwriting
with all the cameras

402
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:48,067
and everything on me being like,
and she's saying she's things.

403
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:51,270
I have no idea
who that who she's related to your eye.

404
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:53,605
And we were part of a whole group, right?
She didn't know that I.

405
00:17:53,605 --> 00:17:57,709
I knew she was against it,
which I tried to warn her a hundred times.

406
00:17:57,709 --> 00:17:59,878
I said, listen, I'm
going to go for you tonight.

407
00:17:59,878 --> 00:18:04,817
Unless, so I then Molly Ringwald, in her
eyes, went, like, back into her skull.

408
00:18:04,817 --> 00:18:06,585
All right, that's it.
And then she went home.

409
00:18:06,585 --> 00:18:08,821
And that was the turning point
in the game for me,

410
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:11,056
because at that point,
it was pretty much smooth sailing.

411
00:18:11,056 --> 00:18:13,892
Right? People
just guessing the wrong people on me.

412
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:17,296
And I was
up there more than anybody else on there.

413
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:19,665
I was in the hot seat way
more than anybody else.

414
00:18:19,665 --> 00:18:22,668
It's a fascinating reality show.

415
00:18:23,235 --> 00:18:24,803
They should go back and watch the whole.
Yeah.

416
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:25,904
How many people watch this?

417
00:18:25,904 --> 00:18:26,638
It's on Hulu.

418
00:18:26,638 --> 00:18:27,306
It's a whole ton.

419
00:18:27,306 --> 00:18:29,975
Yeah, it's still streaming on Hulu season
three.

420
00:18:29,975 --> 00:18:32,578
And, you know, I joined the ranks
of some really amazing people.

421
00:18:32,578 --> 00:18:34,346
Some of the season three. Well, yeah.

422
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:35,247
Yeah. Claim to fame.

423
00:18:35,247 --> 00:18:37,382
And it's just like, just crazy.

424
00:18:37,382 --> 00:18:39,451
So it all came to the finale, you know?

425
00:18:39,451 --> 00:18:41,286
And no one's working with me.

426
00:18:41,286 --> 00:18:44,123
So I go take a run on the slip and slide
because I don't trust

427
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:49,461
the person is being honest with me,
and I just, I flipped my body

428
00:18:49,461 --> 00:18:53,165
over my foot, hit the rope, and,
you know, the velvet rope.

429
00:18:53,232 --> 00:18:53,732
Yeah.

430
00:18:53,732 --> 00:18:56,368
That post came down and cracked me
right on the head.

431
00:18:56,368 --> 00:18:58,303
Yeah.
And so I grabbed my head, and I just.

432
00:18:58,303 --> 00:18:59,605
I'm studying the numbers.

433
00:18:59,605 --> 00:19:01,173
And then I realize, oh,
wow, there's blood.

434
00:19:01,173 --> 00:19:03,775
And you were a head at that point.
Well, yeah, I was the head.

435
00:19:03,775 --> 00:19:07,579
And I know who the last two contestants
are related to. So.

436
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:09,615
Which means if I win the finale,

437
00:19:09,615 --> 00:19:12,618
I know that
I'm going to win this whole thing, right?

438
00:19:13,018 --> 00:19:16,021
I crack my head open,
they put me over into the corner,

439
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:19,525
and the medic is like,
I can't close this thing. Wow.

440
00:19:19,558 --> 00:19:20,459
I can't close it.

441
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:22,427
Blood dripping down,
just blood dripping down.

442
00:19:22,427 --> 00:19:24,796
And they're like, we got to call
an ambulance. You got to go to the house.

443
00:19:24,796 --> 00:19:25,731
This is all reality.

444
00:19:25,731 --> 00:19:28,567
This is not very real. And in that moment,

445
00:19:29,535 --> 00:19:32,337
I broke, I just I cried again.

446
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:35,807
I never cried so much as I did
in this instance in the show,

447
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:40,245
I really had a moment to reflect
on my life and and sit there with it.

448
00:19:40,245 --> 00:19:41,313
It was all healing.

449
00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:44,049
It was all healing,
and it was justification

450
00:19:44,049 --> 00:19:48,320
of all of the challenges
that I had had to endure in my life.

451
00:19:49,488 --> 00:19:50,722
To, to see through this thing.

452
00:19:50,722 --> 00:19:52,824
And I'm like,
oh my gosh, here I am at the end,

453
00:19:52,824 --> 00:19:55,827
I just took myself out
because I went too hard.

454
00:19:55,894 --> 00:19:58,897
And next thing you know,

455
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:01,300
the guy's like, we're going to let
you we're going to let you go.

456
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:03,135
We're going to let you compete.

457
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:05,504
It's a great but don't run.

458
00:20:05,504 --> 00:20:07,606
And if you get dizzy,
raise your hand. Right, right.

459
00:20:07,606 --> 00:20:11,343
So at this point I'm like, okay, the other
person has to help me at this point

460
00:20:11,343 --> 00:20:12,945
because that would just be mean, right?

461
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:14,646
And actually, so,

462
00:20:15,847 --> 00:20:18,850
Rafael Curtis, Jamie Lee Curtis,

463
00:20:19,785 --> 00:20:22,955
nephew, who had we had a really deep,

464
00:20:24,256 --> 00:20:27,559
relationship,
he and I, he had oh, I liked him.

465
00:20:27,593 --> 00:20:29,861
Yeah, he had gone through
and no one knows their last name.

466
00:20:29,861 --> 00:20:32,231
So we only know him as Rafael. There's
no I know.

467
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:33,332
Yeah, right. Right.

468
00:20:33,332 --> 00:20:33,999
But thank you, thank you.

469
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:35,901
I forgot you won by, But. Yeah.

470
00:20:35,901 --> 00:20:37,803
So how's that?

471
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:40,439
Well, you got to give me the answers
now, buddy, because, like,

472
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:41,406
I, I'm bleeding out.

473
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:43,075
You're not going to make me run this thing
again.

474
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:44,810
So he had to give me the answers,

475
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:47,913
and then I was able to cash in that thing,
head out to the finale.

476
00:20:48,113 --> 00:20:49,581
And the funny thing is,

477
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:52,017
at this point, I'm like,
all right, I know I'm not going to win.

478
00:20:52,017 --> 00:20:52,951
I know who the they're.

479
00:20:52,951 --> 00:20:55,020
The whole house is still trying to turn me

480
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:58,290
and make me believe that
I don't know who I know and that they

481
00:20:58,323 --> 00:21:00,959
they say, oh, no, this person
is actually related to somebody else.

482
00:21:00,959 --> 00:21:02,461
And they were trying to throw me off.

483
00:21:02,461 --> 00:21:04,696
And so I got so frustrated.
I was like, you know what?

484
00:21:04,696 --> 00:21:06,298
Let me tell them who I'm related to.

485
00:21:07,399 --> 00:21:08,900
So I started, you know, going on

486
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:12,271
I was like,
white boy who sings R&B music, right?

487
00:21:12,838 --> 00:21:15,307
When a man loves a woman, right.

488
00:21:15,307 --> 00:21:19,044
And then one girl who I knew
was going to find me out, right.

489
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:20,979
She was in that.
She was in the first episode.

490
00:21:20,979 --> 00:21:22,581
She was the oldest person there.

491
00:21:22,581 --> 00:21:22,781
Yeah.

492
00:21:22,781 --> 00:21:25,784
And I knew she had to go,
because if anybody's going to

493
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:28,787
guess who Michael Bolton is,
it would have been Bianca.

494
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:32,057
So, let me just say.

495
00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:35,994
All right, I just let that out there right
in the middle there.

496
00:21:35,994 --> 00:21:38,997
Like, he's related to Michael Bolton,
and they all celebrate it.

497
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:41,566
But I knew that they didn't have.
They didn't have a shot.

498
00:21:41,566 --> 00:21:43,302
I go home right after the winnings.

499
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:44,703
I bought my father brand new truck.

500
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:46,638
Yeah. That's a yeah. That clip.

501
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:48,373
Yeah, it was he.

502
00:21:48,373 --> 00:21:48,774
He drove.

503
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:52,010
He's been driving jalopies
since I remember falling out of his VW.

504
00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:54,279
But a beetle that he had.

505
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:55,814
Oh, is the door to new lows correctly.

506
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:59,318
Wow. As a kid, I just flew out driving
to be able to do that for your dad.

507
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:00,552
The best. Yeah, yeah.

508
00:22:00,552 --> 00:22:04,389
Nice little Ford Maverick and and, Brian,
they're just so cool

509
00:22:04,389 --> 00:22:06,692
because he gives my mom rides
to all of her appointments,

510
00:22:06,692 --> 00:22:08,593
know a lot of appointments. So.

511
00:22:08,593 --> 00:22:11,129
So anyways, I get that done,
and then I'm at my father.

512
00:22:11,129 --> 00:22:14,366
I'm, like, helping him put up a carport
or something like that. And,

513
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,836
this guy stops in front of our house is.

514
00:22:17,836 --> 00:22:20,238
Adam. You owe me a glass, I said.
What do you mean?

515
00:22:20,238 --> 00:22:22,708
He goes,
when you gave up who your relative was,

516
00:22:22,708 --> 00:22:25,510
I threw my glass against the wall.
I was so mad at you.

517
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:27,979
I was like, how did you come this far
to give away your thing?

518
00:22:27,979 --> 00:22:30,315
Because he didn't know what I knew.
Right, right.

519
00:22:30,315 --> 00:22:31,149
All right.

520
00:22:31,149 --> 00:22:34,252
And so I just thought that, people had,
like, these people who know me

521
00:22:34,286 --> 00:22:37,289
had these visceral experiences of, like,

522
00:22:38,357 --> 00:22:40,359
how do you make me able
to look like an idiot?

523
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:40,592
Really?

524
00:22:40,592 --> 00:22:43,228
The whole time they're like, he doesn't
know anything and all these things.

525
00:22:43,228 --> 00:22:45,230
And that goes back into my special
ed world.

526
00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:48,233
I mean, one of the guys even said,
you're a stupid little man.

527
00:22:48,633 --> 00:22:50,469
He called me a stupid
little man on the show.

528
00:22:50,469 --> 00:22:52,437
I said, you don't know.
You don't know a thing about me.

529
00:22:52,437 --> 00:22:54,673
See that fired you up? Absolutely. Yeah.

530
00:22:54,673 --> 00:22:56,842
So not
if one of you is at his funeral. Yes.

531
00:22:56,842 --> 00:22:58,610
Very spiritual. Spiritual.

532
00:22:58,610 --> 00:23:03,915
You know, confusion you bring people into
to to think that they underestimate you.

533
00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:06,651
And and I never do anything intentionally.

534
00:23:06,651 --> 00:23:08,420
All I could do is be natural.

535
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:10,355
And it's served me this far.

536
00:23:10,355 --> 00:23:13,392
And I'll tell you the kind of people
I was running up against.

537
00:23:13,592 --> 00:23:15,460
The. You're right. Be kind of simple,
because you never know.

538
00:23:15,460 --> 00:23:17,362
Advances are going through simple.

539
00:23:17,362 --> 00:23:19,531
But, boy,
I wish we can carry this on longer.

540
00:23:19,531 --> 00:23:22,367
We may have to bring Baton
back to the third child. Oh, wait.

541
00:23:22,367 --> 00:23:25,771
I had to ask you, are you still in touch
with anyone from the show?

542
00:23:25,771 --> 00:23:27,272
A little bit, yeah, yeah, a little bit.

543
00:23:27,272 --> 00:23:29,608
I was just talking to Rafael.

544
00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:31,743
Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

545
00:23:31,743 --> 00:23:32,711
Oh, Todd.

546
00:23:32,711 --> 00:23:35,013
Oh, honey, we have such a connection.

547
00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:36,481
We do text back and forth.

548
00:23:36,481 --> 00:23:39,451
He's invited me to the compound
that he has over there.

549
00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:40,185
Indiana.

550
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:44,322
And, take some motorcycle rides,
but they're wild over there.

551
00:23:44,322 --> 00:23:46,958
Yeah, melon camps are wild.
Yeah, yeah. So?

552
00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:48,960
So I don't know what I'm getting.
I, I've got

553
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,631
I've hung out with God a couple times now
and, is a young, young man.

554
00:23:52,631 --> 00:23:55,867
And so, you know, I, he gets me.

555
00:23:56,401 --> 00:23:58,503
He understands that somehow.

556
00:23:58,503 --> 00:24:01,406
He just got me right off the rip.
And I felt very seen by God.

557
00:24:01,406 --> 00:24:04,276
And I think he's just,
a tremendous person.

558
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:05,243
He's a strong,

559
00:24:06,378 --> 00:24:06,978
strong man.

560
00:24:06,978 --> 00:24:07,679
He's an entrepreneur.

561
00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:09,748
He's selling a mellencamp
whiskey right now.

562
00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:13,685
And in it, he's doing his best
to, you know, I know he's got he's

563
00:24:13,685 --> 00:24:14,553
going through it.

564
00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:16,755
His sister's gone
through a lot of struggles right now.

565
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:17,923
And lots of firsts for them.

566
00:24:17,923 --> 00:24:20,192
Yeah, tons of prayers for them.

567
00:24:20,192 --> 00:24:20,625
But if.

568
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:21,359
Yeah, if I was to do

569
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,330
