And I knew that I didn't have a big enough name like some of the big Hall of Famers and playoff guys or like my brother.

So I had to figure out what I call the backdoor approach.

And I needed to create some sort of internship for myself.

So I did that.

And in that process, they let me do it because I was doing it for free.

That's great.

Yeah.

I had a little bit of money that I had saved up to where I'm like, all right, I'll just bet on myself.

And so I then started to really kind of invest myself in growing there.

And he said, because Steve Jobs is an asshole.

And I said, get out of my car.

I literally told him to get out of my car.

He told Steve Jobs to get out of his car?
