“But there’s been a couple of kids with daddy issues trying to get our attention. Austin and Colten, you say you’re going to kill our legacy. It’s not going to be a couple of dumbass boys.”
Dax: “Saturday night I brought my family with me. My daughter said “Daddy those kind of people like you? Why?” And I thought, yeah, why? Since I’ve been 8 years old this is all I’ve ever wanted to do.
