TI: Was it really -- I imagine it was very difficult for your mother and your other brothers and sisters who were there when this happened.

TI: Well, with your father being taken away from the FBI, what happened to the business?
MW: Well, we -- it was, I guess you would call it distress sales or anything, but something like that. We had to sell the few things that we had, like the trucks and equipment. Initially, I don't know how much time we had, but I do know we were selling our cars.
TI: And you say "we." I mean, who had to take that responsibility of selling?
MW: Well, I like to think my older brother. [Laughs]
TI: And he did or you'd like to just think? [Laughs]
MW: [Laughs] He did.
TI: Okay.
MW: But I think I probably told him to get off his behind a couple of times.
