Perfect Addiction's Matthew Noszka

She did. She did visit me. The first two weeks I was there, um, like most of the fighting I did without them there and then my family came. Um but it was nice because I got to like I'm from Poland, I guess technically. I don't speak Polish. Uh but I have a ton of ancestry from there. I have a a guy who's just a random fan of mine who did a full ancestry report on where I'm from. Uh he I think it's Hollywood Ancestry. But he he basically gave me like a PDF of everything like where they worked, what they did, addresses. And the whole thing with Ukraine um was kind of scary for all of us. So we, you know, didn't really venture too far out. Uh but where I was originally from and a lot of my family members grew up and lived was maybe like 30 minutes from the border. And I was thinking about going, but production was pretty strict with all that. So um but it was cool just kind of be in the essence of, you know, Poland and see Robert who's basically what I kind of would have been, I guess if I grew up there. So it was it was really nice to go there and then have my family come and have my daughter see everything and be in Poland. It was it was a cool experience.
