I, I get a lot of calls with bail bonds.
Chris Van Vliet· Host0:58
Yeah, so tell people that might not know, what are you doing now?
Steve Blackman· Guest1:02
Well, after I got out of wrestling, I had an MMA school. I had that for about 13 years, and then once my kids were born, I just didn't have the time for that, but I had also started a bail bonds business two years or three years after the MMA started. So, uh, I've been focusing on my bail bonds business for the last 17 years now.
