And thank goodness for no cell phones and stuff because I didn't know how to leave.

I was like... You considered leaving like leaving the Naval Academy.

I was just... But it didn't have anything to do with the Naval Academy, really.

It had everything to do with that moment.

I was miserable.

Like, I was making...

I wrestled 190 my freshman year and Doug graduated.

He was the 177 pounder.

So sophomore year, I dropped into his spot.

I went down to 177.

Fighting weight for me is like 193.

But, you know, back then, Andrew, I'm lifting a lot.

I was 210 to 215 in the off season and I cut to 177 sophomore year.

And I was just generally miserable.

And if it was easy to leave, I probably would have.

And then I met Bridget in February and I was like, fuck it, I'll stay.

She's better than this place anyway.

It's a great question.

I mean, things, you know, as compared to at a gunnery sergeant in the Marine Corps at

prep school, who I thought, these are back to the first people you meet in this environment, Gunny Flynn.
