We were there for a week. So I got to spend time. Whoever wanted to spend time with me, they got to spend time with me. Some people have this thing. This is just me. I don't know. This isn't like coaching. Some people, I want their presence. but not saying anything. I know you're okay. I get to see you being happy. Maybe I don't talk to you as much, but I get to enjoy you enjoying yourself.

That's one of my favorite things at a party. When I throw a party, they're like, are you having a good time? It's crazy, whatever. I'm like, I'm having the best. I'm watching the best fucking movie of my life right now. I am in an immersive theater of people I love doing the thing they want to do. Now I'm kind of antisocial. I don't like to talk that much to people. I get awkward sometimes.

You know what I mean? Sometimes I grab my wife and I'm like, talk for me, talk for me. We'll go to a party and I'll be like, you got to talk for me, babe. I can't take it. I can talk to a million people. No problems. The stadium or whatever. And sometimes I get awkward. But what I really, really do enjoy and what really fulfills me is watching people I love have a good time.

I get that. I walk around and I just really enjoy people meeting and socializing and connecting. At my wedding, there were friends that didn't know each other and they're like, they're great. You know great people. I'm like, of course I do. You find somebody who's great, love, you keep them close by. I don't care if you dated them or whatever. You keep them close, man.

People that vibe with you is very important to me. And me seeing them succeed, I'm a person that roots for people to hit the long ball. I'm not a hater. I'm a natural like, I hope you crush it. I hope you become a trillionaire. I hope you whatever it is.

And so seeing people at a party, I like that there were parties and make people have fun and create environments for them, loosen up, enjoy each other, have a good time. And then watching that success and watching them interact is enjoyable for me, even though I might be just sitting there smiling, right? Like not really talking.

It depends. It's not always the same because you got to solve problems. Someone can't get in. The ice maker is broken, whatever. There's that type of things. But yeah, I'd rather watch that movie than go to the movies. I'd rather be in that immersive theater than McKittrick Hotel and Sleep No More in New York, which is an immersive theater. That's the best theater. And even so what?

You know, it's kind of like when you write a formula and it's not like I came up with this formula, this life cycle hypothesis thing, which is basically the book, this counterfactual regret minimization algorithm, and I'm solving for net fulfillment. It's not as if these ideas weren't out there. Like I always say, like anybody could have just thought about it and wrote this book.
