Thank Speaker 1 (1:51) you for coming. Speaker 2 (1:52) I'm actually living. Kerrville, Texas right now. Speaker 1 (1:54) You had to correct me for a fourth time. I was born in Houston, so you Speaker 3 (1:58) were right Speaker 2 (1:59) with the first part. Absolutely. Texas, damn, bro. Speaker 3 (2:03) Yeah, thank you for coming, man. Speaker 2 (2:05) I Speaker 1 (2:05) nailed the intro. Speaker 2 (2:07) Yeah, way Speaker 3 (2:07) to go. One take Lou over here. Yeah, one take Lou, Speaker 1 (2:09) failing miserably. Speaker 3 (2:12) Yeah, Ravishus, man. So you came from Texas here, right? Yes. Speaker 2 (2:17) So I woke up in a nice hotel today. I traveled. From 5 a.m. to about 4 p.m. yesterday with an hour front. And I don't think I've flown in over five years. So like we were talking about, it was anxiety inducing. But I'm here for a bigger purpose. And if anybody comes, like, don't be scared to travel if you have the means to do it, to come share your story with these guys. And, you know. Speaker 2 (2:45) These guys are doing a very good thing. So that's why I chose to do this. I don't come out of my comfort zone much, but I would for this opportunity. And I thank you. We appreciate it. And we didn't even pay you to say that, right? No. Good. Well, Speaker 3 (2:58) yeah. Tell us how you got here, man. Take it off with childhood. Speaker 2 (3:02) So. Speaker 2 (3:06) Childhood was for me, my parents got divorced probably when I was one year old. My mom had got together with my dad. I believe she was a receptionist at a car lot and my dad was selling cars at that car lot and they got together and I was came into this earth. Their relationship didn't work out. So when I was really young, before I remember, they had got divorced and my mom had taken custody of me and my dad. He was still living in Atlanta, Georgia at the time. And that's about as far as I remember up to then. My first memory was we were living in a place called Senton, Texas. And all of these places I mentioned, Texas is a huge state. So there's either the cities or there's country towns, and I've bounced around to both. But I was living in Senton, Texas this time. It's down by Corpus Christi with my mom, and we were staying with my grandparents as far as I can remember on a ranch. My mom met my stepdad at that time, and I was probably like three or four years old, and I remember that my mom... would take me over to my stepdad's house and he had like a little duplex apartment and they were having their relationship and he was a basketball coach in Texas. So that's like a little 3A school. And in Texas, like all sports back then were either 1A, 2A, 3A, up to 5A. So it was like a 3A school, little country town. It might've even been 2A. And he had just won, my stepdad, he had just won the state basketball championship that year. And the Speaker 1 (4:46) further down you go, so 1A is the largest and 5A is the smallest. No, 1A is the smallest and 5A is the biggest. So 5A would be like Dallas Speaker 2 (4:56) Carter if you saw like Permian versus Dallas Carter. Okay. That was like 5A. That was like big time. And then 1A is like barely seven on seven football. Yeah, Speaker 1 (5:06) right. Speaker 2 (5:06) You're barely getting one. Yeah, yeah. You get some talent in there, but, like, all our big recruits are coming out of, like, 4A, 5A schools, and then you'll get some, like, GOATs in, like, 2A, 3A. They're really, like, my high school, Johnny Manziel went to my high school. Kerrville Tybee. So if you know anything about football, he went to, like, Texas A &M. So, like, Kerrville Tybee, where I'm from now, huge football school. Like, we just spanked somebody 70 to 66 last night. So sports are huge in Texas. Football's huge. It's Speaker 1 (5:36) all Speaker 2 (5:36) there fucking is. All there is to do. Yeah. You're either like getting into trouble or you're playing sports back then. Yeah. No in between. Or you're doing both. But so go back. My mom meets my stepdad in Sin, Texas. He's hot off a state basketball championship. They fall in love. They get married. His last name is Young. Speaker 3 (5:57) Oh, okay. That's why I Speaker 2 (5:57) have the alias Matthew Young. Gotcha. So. Speaker 2 (6:02) Yeah, let's just go. He moves me to Kerrville, Texas. He gets the basketball job at Kerrville Tybee Basketball. They moved me to Kerrville, Texas, and that's why I grow up. You like that? Are you cool with that? I was pretty cool. Like, my mom, we were like a pretty... Well, my mom was in the school system. She was like teaching English as a second language at that time. So and she moved her way up to like a counselor and then like all these high ranking jobs in the KISD school system. So at that time, right when I got to Curveville, my mom like introduced me to all of like the popular white kids. You know, like she wanted me to be in that popular group. That's just how it was back then. If you have money, you go to basketball camps, you play sports. Or you make it from the gutter. One of the two. So I fall in with these kids. They end up liking me. I remember the party was like at River Hill Country Club. But like we weren't country club people. We were like barely making it. Both my parents were teachers. And I remember the first house we moved into in Curveville, like my room was pink. It was a one bedroom. Like we didn't have money to pay. And my mom said, came in, she said, what color do you want to? paint your room and all this shit's flooding back right now. I was like turquoise, you know? So I painted it turquoise and I had a Sega Dreamcast and I had like a Sega Genesis and like all the new video game systems. And I was growing up. I remember like you had to change the channel on your TV fucking right up there, you know? And so I lived like a very sheltered life. Cause like I was blocking all this shit that wasn't going right in my life, like into a room. And I was just like watching TV and playing video games and like. That's funny. Speaker 1 (7:39) I did something very similar with video games. We're all Speaker 2 (7:42) very similar. Speaker 2 (7:45) how like we've come out of this obsessive over TV shows and like, this is going to make me feel better. Like the cartoons and the video games. And I have to have all the new cartoons. I remember my mom would write checks for video games, you know? And like, Speaker 1 (7:58) yeah. Speaker 2 (7:59) And like, I didn't know 1499 for a CD or a video game was a lot of money, but she would always like, um, make sure I had what I wanted. Cause she know like my, yeah, I probably went through some fucked up shit. When I was just a baby, like I just had a one and a half year old son. If I if he went through anything I went through, he'd be fucking traumatized. But like my life was pretty good. And I noticed my stepdad because I'd be going to these basketball practices and I'd be going and I noticed like he'd make all the players line up on a line and everything was very disciplined. And I like that structure because I didn't have it. So I'd be driven the basketball on the sidelines and all the best players would be showing me the move. So like I was very malleable as an athlete. And like I was very coachable, but my stepdad was very hands off with me because he didn't want to parent me because he didn't want my dad fucking saying anything over here because my dad, my real blood is hothead over here. You know, he wants to be with me and shit like that. I didn't want to fucking travel. So Speaker 3 (8:56) he's still in the picture, dad. Oh, yeah. I love my dad. Speaker 2 (8:58) I love all my parents. All my family talks to me now. OK. Yeah. So. Speaker 2 (9:04) I remember I would like fly back and forth from Houston and live that sheltered like TV life, video game life in my room. And I started getting into sports. I started getting into basketball, football and all these little sports. And I love that. And let's just like jump forward to. to like middle school uh because that was the first time I played seventh grade football um seventh grade basketball and like organized sports where you could like put on pads and hit somebody um and I fell in love with like the aggression of the shit but I was really off the wire as a kid like I would be the type to hit you call you a name and do some extra shit and get kicked out the fucking game because I just had that rage in me dude like that built-up rage that just wanted to like You see red. As soon as you get impact, you see the red. See the red. So that always played into my story. Like that rage and that aggression and that like I had to take something out on somebody. Why Speaker 3 (10:03) are you raging out? Because like up to now, it sounds like you got a pretty decent life. Because I was away from my Speaker 2 (10:07) dad. I got ripped away from my dad. I didn't like having a stepdad. I didn't like that whole life. Like I felt like shit was taken away from me like at a very, very young age. Speaker 3 (10:18) Okay. Speaker 2 (10:18) So, um, let me just take a sip of water. Speaker 2 (10:23) Yeah, that shit would play at my heartstrings, but I fell in love with sports. And my stepdad was the varsity basketball coach. So it was like, I'm going to be the hardest on you. You get no fucking lenience on anything, even in football. I know all the coaches. You ain't never going to be a P word. And it's always like, I was raised like that from like four years old. Then I have my brother when I'm eight years old. I remember I'm sitting in fucking class and they announced it over the speakers. Matthew Fisher, if you just had a new baby. uh brother because uh my mom worked at the school and my head went down because i was like no not this like now i have to share my life with somebody and uh Speaker 2 (11:07) But so I just like funnel myself into sports and like as soon and that's kind of important, like as soon as my little brother was born, since I was my stepdad's child, I felt like a part then from my family. So I'm good in sports. I'm excelling in football, seventh and eighth grade football. I'm finding out about girls. I'm good. I'm good at school. And it's just like. Everything is all about how I'm going to get into high school and how I'm going to make something out of myself in sports. And so I get into high school, and my stepdad's now my coach. In high school? Yeah. Speaker 3 (11:46) Golly. So Speaker 2 (11:47) I'm still playing football. I'm very good at football. Very good. I played running back and there would be games where I had like one, two touchdowns, sometimes three touchdowns. I would return kicks and stuff, but I was really small. I was really fast and I was really nimble and agile. Super small kid. I played freshman JV and I finally get up to varsity sports. But by this time I quit football because I thought my stepdad wanted me to just play basketball. So like I was already giving shit up for people like the people pleasing shit. Yeah. When you know it might have saved me from CTE or something like that but uh so I was already giving up stuff that I loved like in order for validation. Yeah And I'm trying to like remember this and like not ramble and, you know, not tell things that really don't matter. But I ended up getting into varsity basketball. I think I didn't get there until I was, it was my junior year and I didn't play one minute. I didn't fucking come off the bench. Speaker 1 (12:50) Not once. That's Speaker 2 (12:51) the Speaker 1 (12:51) worst, man. I Speaker 2 (12:52) mean, maybe like in my own stepdad, I dude. I wanted to be that guy so fucking bad because you have all the people in the stands cheering for you. There's hundreds of people and I'm sitting there as the coach's son and I'm not getting one. Not getting it. Yeah. It's because both my brothers did because they practiced every day. I didn't practice every day. I thought the shit was going to come by osmosis. I was a natural athlete. You give me a ball and tell me go. I'm going to go. I'm going to put the ball in the bucket. I'm going to do it, but I'm not going to run your play. Okay. And or I'm Speaker 3 (13:21) going Speaker 2 (13:21) to buck the system or I'm going to fucking forget to play because that's just how I am. Like I meant to go from point A to point B. That's how sports is for me. Boom, boom, boom. And that's how kind of how it is nowadays. I wish I would have played nowadays. So he's not playing me my whole junior year. Dude, I don't I can't tell you how upset I was that I didn't get any playing time and I quit football. So at this time, I'm like, spite. I'm going to spite you. I'm going to start rebelling. And that's kind of when I started rebelling. I started hanging out with people on the high school team that were smoking weed, that were drinking and just doing all the irregular stuff and just pretty much like breaking the law all the time. But I wasn't smoking or drinking or doing all the things. I was just riding along and kind of like watching everything. You know, I think my first use, I was on a camping trip. with one of my friends and we drank a Coors Light and I fucking threw up and I hated beer. From one Speaker 3 (14:18) beer? Yeah. Speaker 2 (14:19) Yeah. I mean, my grandpa was an alcoholic, so he might've gave me a sip of wine when I was like four in front of the, we lived on a ranch. So in front of all the people on the ranch, I spit that shit out, you know? And like one time he gave me chewing tobacco and said it was ground up Oreos. Oh, buddy. I ate that shit and spit it out. So Speaker 3 (14:36) I Speaker 2 (14:37) feel like they were playing with me like at a young age, you know what I'm saying? But yeah, high school. um i start dabbling in the marijuana like i might i remember the first time i smoked i smoked out of a can fucking blew that shit up in the air and everybody in the fucking car got so mad at me and kicked me out of the car and i'm sitting out of the car just stone looking at the stars you know i didn't like it then um Senior year. I'm out of there. My mom and my stepdad are on campus. So like most of the time I'm coming to school high when I don't have basketball practice. I'm just smoking with my friends and showing up lit. And my mom is sitting right there as the counselor watching us all walk in. I have red eyes. She's not having that junior year. So they send my ass to Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas. Damn. Yeah. Golly, brother. And to preface that, my junior year. During offseason, I'm fucking killing these people in basketball. I'm scoring on the pickup games. I'm scoring every point. My hair is long. I found my own. You know, I just had all those nerves off me to excel in basketball. Now the athletic is like overshadowing any play and they can't deny it because I'm hitting three pointers. I'm making it to the lane. I'm point guard. I'm driving and dishing. I'm just doing everything a basketball player should. So I did fit that mold my senior year. They shit my ass to Harlingen, Texas. Wow. Speaker 3 (15:58) So from military school. To Speaker 2 (16:00) military school. So what's that about? What's Speaker 3 (16:02) the vibe there? I was just a Speaker 2 (16:03) knucklehead. And my grandparents, so this is a big part of my story. My grandparents, they had quite a bit of money from like oil and minerals and stuff in Texas. So like. My mom. They had an Speaker 1 (16:17) oil rig down there? Speaker 2 (16:18) Not an oil rig. It's just like they had water and minerals on their property like now to this day. And then they had a ranch in Cotulla, which was oil bearing. Damn. So they're doing all right. My grandpa was adopted into that family. It's called the Welder family. His last name is Edwards, Oaks David Edwards. He passed away during COVID, but millionaire, tens of millions. Speaker 2 (16:44) My grandpa was like, send his ass to military school. Wow. He's my grandpa's, you know, anybody with that's calling fucking shots from afar. Yeah. Yeah. Send his ass to military school. Probably $48,000. Oh, Speaker 3 (16:55) okay. Yeah. Something like that. I don't Speaker 1 (16:56) know. Speaker 3 (16:56) I have Speaker 2 (16:57) no clue how much it costs. Chet Hanks went there. Tom Hanks, son. Speaker 1 (17:00) Chet Hanks, baby. There's Speaker 2 (17:02) a Speaker 1 (17:02) lot of Speaker 2 (17:02) rich-ass little bastards there. We had Speaker 1 (17:04) Chet on our episode. Did Speaker 2 (17:06) y Speaker 1 (17:06) 'all? Like episode two. Yeah. Or it might have been one. I have a backstory about Speaker 3 (17:09) him. Speaker 1 (17:09) It might have been the first one. Like when I first Speaker 2 (17:11) got sober in 2025, I was doing this like accountability program under this dude, Wes Watson. And I'm on these accountability calls. The dude's in prison now for beating some lady in cocaine. Go figure. Chet Hanks is fucking on my calls. Yeah, I fucking... He's crazy. I Instagrammed live Speaker 1 (17:26) Chet Hanks and battle-rapped him and somehow recorded it and fucking... It's such a weird world Speaker 2 (17:31) we live in. Speaker 1 (17:31) You're such a goofball, dude. Stop trying to rap. Just fucking be Tom Hanks' son. Absolutely. And be okay with it. So I'm Speaker 2 (17:38) pretty sure that guy was there like two years after I went there. Speaker 1 (17:41) That doesn't surprise me. Speaker 2 (17:42) And is the Speaker 3 (17:42) point of the school, like obviously for structure, right? It's Marine Military Speaker 2 (17:45) Academy. It's run by straight up Marines. Are you going to Speaker 3 (17:48) go to the military following that or it's just like, okay. So it's just a. And they Speaker 2 (17:52) don't push that upon you. It's just like you learn all the military stuff. You're waking up at 5 a.m. Speaker 3 (17:56) Oh man. To Speaker 2 (17:57) Reveille. You're doing all that bullshit. You're working out. You're running in the morning. It's just like straight up accountability to the Speaker 3 (18:04) max. Speaker 2 (18:04) So what's Speaker 3 (18:04) it Speaker 2 (18:04) like Speaker 3 (18:04) for like a stoner like you, right? Speaker 2 (18:06) Bro, Speaker 3 (18:06) the Speaker 2 (18:07) first time I get there, so I had to go to the camp the summer before. And I think that's it. You know, send me to the fucking boot camp and then I'm done. Yeah. I'm killing these kids at the basketball at that boot camp. I'm playing in A6 and red booty shorts and a Marine shirt. And I am killing these dudes at basketball. The basketball coach comes on. to the court and says, you know, where I learned how to play, blah, blah, blah. I told him that my stepdad was a coach. He said, you're going to play point guard for me next year. Speaker 3 (18:37) I Speaker 2 (18:37) said, the hell I am. I'm going back and playing point guard for my team. Yeah. My mom verified that shit the next day that I was. You're Speaker 3 (18:44) not going anywhere. I ain't going. I might be coming home for a Speaker 2 (18:47) fucking week in between. Wow. So you're Speaker 3 (18:49) there for the whole year. Speaker 2 (18:50) So I go to the boot camp. I think I came home for like a week. Damn. Just to Kerrville, just to say hello and go right back. And they shit my ass back and. Shaved my head right when I got back there Brother 50 people in line From 8th graders all the way to like A year out of senior year And these are all like troubled kids? Pretty much Yeah They're either troubled kids or kids who had no fucking choice And they're just like So you go there, Speaker 3 (19:13) you go to do the school You do the military training Everything was there Everything was there My word, that sounds like a nightmare It Speaker 2 (19:19) was shit And it's right by Harlingen Which is right by Mexico So like, literally Speaker 2 (19:25) like on the weekends they would ship us into Harlingen, Texas on a bus and we would just fucking walk into the mall and buy weed and, Speaker 3 (19:31) you Speaker 2 (19:32) know, from the Hispanic people there and go smoke, roll it into huge Philly blunts and go smoke it behind and come back lit. We're, I mean, I wasn't, but the bigger guys who were in charge of everything were bringing Xanax back in fucking cereal boxes and dispersing it for the weekend. So like the next week after leave, everyone walking around like fucking zombies. Everybody's zombie. They Speaker 1 (19:51) don't know Speaker 2 (19:51) what's going on. Bored out. I remember one time one of my roommates, I don't know how he got it back, but he had a fucking huge bag of hydrocodone, probably like 40 or 50 of them bitches in his pillowcase. And I was just dipping in them shit. Oh, yeah. For a week and beating his fucking ass when he caught my ass doing it, you know. But everything was like. Worth Speaker 1 (20:10) it. You're Speaker 2 (20:11) either getting your ass beat or you're fucking beating. Right. You're whipping ass. Or you're getting your ass whooped. Speaker 1 (20:16) You're fighting. Speaker 2 (20:17) Some of the time. There's weeks. where shit's popping off. But I was pretty much like, everybody loved me, dude, because I was like sports and I could talk to anybody and I could talk anybody down from doing some stupid shit. That's a Speaker 1 (20:31) very, very good guy. Because I was a Speaker 2 (20:32) point guard basketball. Like, so I had to be somewhat in control of these guys because, you know. They were like, you know, crazy. Talking Speaker 1 (20:42) someone down is a hell of a skill to have. So my Speaker 2 (20:45) two guard, I forget his name, but he went on to play running back for Iowa State University. And he could jump out the gym. Duran Hollis. Fucking jump out the gym, throw the ball to him. He's fucking catching any way he wants. My center was six foot seven. And he went into the military. So like, we were all thrown together, but it was like. Not a dream team, but we were, like, good kids who knew how to play basketball, and we were, like, vibing with each other, right? So, like, I found basketball over there, and that was, like, kind of giving me structure because, like, we would go on our military activity. We were dressed up in all the military garb. I have pictures. What do you do as an activity? Like, what's that mean? Like... Just, like, we go to school, and then, like, we might do, like, shit with the fake guns. Okay. Like, flip them. We're marching. We're learning how to march. We're just learning. Like, we're doing the, like... the obstacle courses and shit like that so i loved all that i'm like bro what's the record you know let me try and beat that you know i've never probably beat a record but back then i was nimble bro i'll climb up a rope in an instant you know or jump over the it was shit that i probably have a hard time doing right now as a grown man but like back then i found somewhat of the solace in like all those athletic events so like they all know i'm athletic i'm trying boxing um i didn't go out for the football team um but i was like playing basketball over there but like that was another place where like any time a pill came in my fucking hand i was gonna pop it because i knew at this point a xanax a xanax bar was gonna change how i felt for like eight hours and i was gonna go to sleep and i was gonna i wasn't gonna feel all that pain for that time that i ate the xanax or like if i got my hands on some uh like i said I took the hydrocodone out of this kid's pillow because it was no question that I was going to get fucked up if I had that opportunity. So. Shit's not really eventful in there. I remember we made it past district basketball and we were going into the playoffs. And I fucked around in practice one day and we were just hazing this fucking kid. And he comes back in an hour later and tries to whoop my ass with two of the captains of the boxing team. And I put my hands up like I don't want any problem. He hit me across the face. That's the last fucking thing. That was the last straw I had about that school. I started walking. This is like the third time I tried to leave the school. I started walking. It was an old airport. So I'm walking down this runway to the gates. The whole fucking military school is going to lunch or dinner. And you're going the opposite direction. I'm Speaker 3 (23:19) going Speaker 2 (23:19) the opposite way. The airport was on the other side of the street. There ain't no way you're going to... Not a military person in the world was going to stop me from fucking leaving that Speaker 3 (23:28) place at that Speaker 2 (23:28) point. And my mom Speaker 3 (23:29) was Speaker 2 (23:30) going to bail me out. My family was going to bail me out at that point. Speaker 3 (23:33) How Speaker 2 (23:33) deep in Speaker 3 (23:34) the year are you when that happens? All the way. So you're at the end of the year. Yeah, we're about to Speaker 1 (23:37) go Speaker 3 (23:37) to Speaker 2 (23:37) playoff sports at this point. Like, I feel bad about it now, but I was like, fuck the team. Fuck all y'all. I'm out. I hate y'all. And you successfully Speaker 3 (23:44) left? Speaker 2 (23:45) I left. They made me sleep in the barracks with, like, the master drills. Not, like, with him, but, like... The master drill sergeant had like six bunks barracks and he has his office. And I slept there that night by my fucking self. And I had a flight the next day. My mom picks me up. My jaw was still fucking sore from getting hit from this little black kid from Chicago. Stuck my ass one time. That's Speaker 3 (24:05) the Speaker 2 (24:05) only time I've been hit in the face. I couldn't even eat mashed potatoes when I got home. But my mom, I remember we went to the mall for some reason. I'm still talking shit about that fucking kid. Oh, that little bitch. You know, I would have gave it to him if. circumstances were different but i was bailed out back to my high school in curville it's my senior year i know everybody i'm the bad kid at this point everybody wants to know where i've been straight into fucking weed straight into pills straight into all this stuff i remember i was playing basketball like before school one day and my friend you know told me he's like you want one of these and it was just when the yellow school bus xanax came out People said they used to have caffeine in them or whatever.
