Well, all right. Real crazy quick story is when I was working on the book, I didn't know if Brett would talk to me.

And I DM'd his sister Brandy on Facebook. And I said, hey, I'm working on a book about your brothers. Anyway, if I come to Mississippi, you would be willing to meet for coffee.

And Brett never talked to me, but I got every member of his family, which was a very unusual experience.

As for now, he's a disappointment.
