No question.

Absolutely.

I was a very hard-driving NCO.

I would pay money right now to have some of my guys from my teams sit down here and talk to you because they would tell you, yeah, he tried to kill me.

He made me do 300 push-ups because I told him my shoulder hurt.

I was just real hard charging.

But I also knew what size his underwear was.

I knew what his wife's name was.

I knew what his kids' names were.

I took care of my people.

And it teaches you a sense of gratitude for how fortunate we are.

I had the privilege of going to third world countries before, to countries most of my friends couldn't even enunciate.

And going in and seeing things that when I would come home, just be in tears almost.

But, you know, like even now when I go to Alaska and I bust my ass to get to the cabin in the middle of the winter, sometimes getting stuck, a trip that shouldn't take over 45 minutes, sometimes taking six hours.

And then you get in there and you get that fire built and you sit there with a glass of wine and you're like, man, God, this is the most perfect moment.

Yeah.

But that moment, like I said earlier, would not be that perfect had it not been for the pain that I went through to get there.

And that's what I felt like with the Opry.

It felt like, you know, it was perfect.

And I don't deserve any of this.
