He also talks about how overnight becoming a meme lead him to more fame than he ever could have imagined and his life during and after. Other highlights include him talking about what is was like to see Joe Paterno cry after being forced to resign from Penn State, being kicked off the Penn State Football team by Bill O'Brien for stealing a sandwich, and many more highlights.
