I met my dad in the gym. I’m going and doing Jiu-Jitsu. And from the one class. He called me. And he’s like, what are you taking? What do you mean? He’s like, your supplement. We don’t even know what it was. It’s like, you know, BCAA’s and stuff like that. He brought me a whole care package and I start seeing this coach had a different love. He actually cared for the fighter. He actually was making sure of your health and what you are doing?

Bobby Green’s father, Jacob Behney’s prison story

On the JRE, Bobby Green’s foster father, Jacob Behney, shared an exciting story about his experience as a first-time offender in prison. He stunned Joe Rogan with the prison stories. Californian prison has certain unwritten rules and codes of conduct among the convicts. Behney was completely oblivious to these unwritten rules. This led him to a lot of trouble in the prison.

Being ignorant of the rules, Behney got in trouble for sitting with another convict from a different racial background. He got into a fight with another inmate in his cell. But Jacob Behney knew how to fight and choked him unconscious. Then, the authorities transferred Behney to a state prison, where he caught people conspiring to attack him. Later, he fought off two guys attempting to stab him.
