Joey Merlino question

[Aces]

Hi guys. a few questions on Merlino. He says he was born and raised in south philly. However, i ready somewhere that he moved out of Philly at about 17 years old or so. Does anyone know where he moved to a why ?

He lived in AC at one point not sure how old he was, but somewhere around there. He also mentioned o his podcast he was living with Faffy Iannarella when he was younger to, but didn't say why. Obviously that would have been Philly though.

They did an episode there in AC where he used to live. At one point Snuff asked Joey how old he was when he lived there, but I couldn't make out what he said. Starts at 6:26.
