And the guy at Radio Shack was like, this is definitely illegal, but whatever.

We're like 10 or 11 or 12 whatever years old. And then it was like decades went by or a decade at least went by, decade and a half. And I became an attorney of all things, right? And my friend was like, I never saw that coming. And I'm like, I'm thinking, I never wanted to do that. What happened?

And I remember even when I went to law school, one of the reasons I went is because I was like, I just don't know what else to do. I have no idea. But the whole time, and when I started doing this, the podcast, I was like, this is awesome.
