So when you... You know, one of my favorite texts for understanding friendship is actually the Hollywood Walk of Fame speeches.

They're amazing because you see usually a celebrity...

detail, give a blueprint of how their friendship developed.

And one of my favorite ones is Matthew McConaughey and Guy Fieri.

It's a great speech.

Matthew McConaughey is explaining how his friendship started with Guy Fieri.

And what Matthew McConaughey shared was that he was...

an actor traveling the country in an Airstream, and he loved Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, Guy Fieri's show.

And he contacted Guy Fieri and said, hey, I'm traveling to Spokane next week.

Where should I eat?

And so they started talking about roadside eateries.

Well, you should go here.

And Matthew McConaughey would say, I'm going to be here.

Where should I eat?

And then they struck up a friendship about roadside eateries, a clear and compelling reason.

Then Matthew came to LA and met up with Guy Fieri.

And then they realized they connected deeper on their values, their values of family, that like dealing with fame.

And that's when their friendship forged into something really beautiful and valuable to both people.

But it all started with the roadside attraction eating things.

Like that's what they were.
