It was because Ray Kroc and Walt Disney were both ambulance drivers in World War I.

So they were actually I thought I did because I thought I was.

Ernest Hemingway was as well.

Really?

Yeah.

So Ernest Hemingway, Ray Kroc and Walt Disney were all ambulance drivers in France in World War One.

My grandfather was as well.

Hemingway was in Italy.

Okay, I know.

Okay, so Hemingway was Italy.

So different side of the continent.

I did not know that.

Well, Ray Kroc, after, you know, McDonald's takes off, you know, after he allegedly, you know, we all watched the founder stole this company from somebody else, ended up writing a letter to Walt Disney basically saying, hey, I don't know if you remember me, but we served together in Europe.

I kind of have this company, this little fast food joint.

I see you're doing well.

If you ever want to work together, let me know.

And they couldn't put it together when either of them, or excuse me, when both of them were still alive.

But after they had died, there was a relationship formed, and they still have the letter that Ray Kroc wrote to Walt Disney.

It's who you know.

That kind of like, hey, I don't know if you remember me, but I see we're both doing quite well.
