Obviously very surreal experience to be over there, seeing basically how the battles fought with all drones. How long ago was this? I think it would have been March or April. So we went there, we went basically spent two nights up on the front line, went back to Kiev and that was it for that trip.

In terms of crazy stuff that happens, obviously just the people living, like you download the air defense tracker. So at any time there could be an air siren going off, an air alert on your phone. Could be like drones heading your way, planes are in the air, missiles flying. And then those missiles will change direction and stuff.

So the air alert, you don't know if it's heading a different direction, but they just sort of warn everyone. So you live under a constant state. of fear, basically. And then on that first trip, the heaviest moment was I was going downstairs in the hotel to work out, which is honestly a rare thing these days, doing something healthy with myself. You're working out.

Getting in the gym, pumping some iron. And this was divine intervention that a hypersonic missile was shot down by the Patriot Defense System just like five minutes from the hotel. So the whole hotel and the attached gym just shook like crazy. And Some people started freaking out.

indentation that already cleared up most of the, um, I guess shrapnel from the missile. I don't know if I should, or if I was legally allowed to do this, but I took some of that missile back home with me.
