When I went to school, let me tell you, those second graders don\u2019t love the name \u2018oud-vig.\u2019 When I showed up and got some handmade, French meal and I open it up and it stinks up the classroom when everyone else got PB&J, and I\u2019m the \u2018oud-vig\u2019 guy, you get ostracized pretty quick.\u201d He went on to say how he had to \u201cadapt pretty quick\u201d as a child, so he changed the way his name sounds and started going to school with PB&Js for lunch instead of French sandwiches.
