Well, two episodes ago you had Ryan Martin. And I learned one big thing on thinking about what he had said. So I'm prepared to even mention that because he made me realize something, which I won't be able to do anything about, but at least understanding helps.

Well, in my case, it's tied in with some traumatic stress. And my deal is I learned the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished. I learned that a person who's basically honest will never be able to successfully deal with a person who lies for a living. That's very frustrating because I have to keep it in. Someday somebody may be able to deal with it, maybe with some help from me.

Someday, some situations may turn into some real drama, possibly criminal referrals, but I'm the kind of guy who people for years have been telling me that some areas I just don't have the skills and I contribute by not talking. So do you feel like you're kind of a quiet guy sometimes? Generally quiet, generally restrained, except for reasons of comedy.

I know that I'm not as funny as I think I am. And yet, like, I tell my philanthropic grantees that I would like for them to tolerate my sense of humor but not encourage me. Okay, nice. And so far that's worked out well, particularly last night, the Bob Woodruff thing. I did briefly hang out.

Yeah. Last night, there was a fundraiser for the Bob Woodruff Foundation. They run a network called Got Your Six. Got Your Six? Got Your Six, like in the military sense. Right, got your bet. Yeah. And about 350 organizations who are actually good at helping. And many philanthropic organizations are challenged when it comes to actually helping. But these guys are good.

They need a lot of money to help out, help out vets and their families. And this was both a comedy concert and a music concert. The guys, I think it was Mark Normand. Oh, Mark Normand was there? Yeah. Yeah, he's great. We're both from New Orleans. Well, starting from there, there's Jim Gaffigan. Wow. Jerry Seinfeld. And Jon Stewart on the comedy side, which was great for me. Yeah.

And he reacted quite satisfactorily. His jaw dropped. His wife, this was a few years ago, but his wife got the joke immediately. The better part of the joke is I was being literal. I really am a nerd. Yeah. I'm the kind of guy in the late 60s in high school. I wear a plastic pocket protector, thick black glasses taped together, no social skills.
