I remember just walking on the side, just thinking, looking at the Trinity Church, drinking my coffee, eating my muffin, getting there. And then my first client at nine o'clock was there early and he was all freaked out. And he's like, something happened at the World Trade Towers. And I said, well, what happened? He said, I don't know, something's going on. I go, well, let's train, man.

I mean, sure, it's nothing, dude. And at that time, everybody thought I was a Cessna. No one knew what it was. And so I started training. And then the second plane hit, which I believe was at 9.03 or 9.02. And that one felt like turbulence on a plane. That one you felt. I don't know how it hit it or what, but you felt, I mean, everything shook. And then everyone stopped.

And I remember putting the dumbbells down and we walked outside. And just, I remember the scene looking like either that year or the year before Godzilla came out. And there's a scene in the movie of Godzilla where everyone's climbing over the taxis and looking up and looking at Godzilla and they're like, ah, you know. The problem is there's like 17 movies. It was like the latest one in 2000.

They're redoing that one for the third or fourth time. Yeah, I know. I can't watch Superman anymore. What about Superman can't you watch? I just, I'm a Christopher Reeve guy. And, you know, I was so, you know, being old and that's my movie. And I think I watched the second one after that. But then. With Cavill? Yeah. Built dude. Yeah. Looked like freaking Superman.

I mean, they both, Christopher Reeve was pretty ripped too. When you look at him.

No, no. But for that time, he was pretty ripped. For sure. He was pretty ripped. Yeah. But yeah, so I just remember crawling over the cars and thinking, man, this feels like Godzilla. And then just seeing the buildings up. And then people were, you know, panicking. Some people were crying. You know, I, I was pretty numb through all that.

I, you know, I grew up in a really kind of turbulent childhood and I had a lot of insanity in my life. And, uh, so, you know, a lot of screaming in the house and stuff. And so I kind of develop a mechanism of going numb. Whenever there's a lot of stress, I'll just, I'll just go numb. And do you recognize when you slip into that place? Yeah, pretty fast. Like, is it intentional or subconscious?
