Yeah, exactly right. That's right. Among many things that we hear about only on that show. So the point is, it was a quarry for the ages. And I knew that because that's why I invented the experiment, right? I told you, my father and I, you know, we never really had the rapprochement that you and your father seemed to have had. And that's great. We always had kind of a difficult relationship.

As I said, he abandoned me and my book. I write about this rather. He abandoned me and my older brother, Kevin. I was seven, he was 10.

And my last name was originally not Keating. It was Axe, A-X.

And so when we were adopted, I never saw him. I didn't see him for 15 years. But I knew one thing. He was a brilliant scientist. And he was actually the youngest. He was not only a tenured professor. He was full professor with like a chair at Cornell at age 26. So you and I got our profession, like our 30s or whatever.

Yeah. I mean, it's like a much, he was 26, 27. I was in math. It was a little different. But I knew he won. Basically, there's no Nobel Prize in mathematics. There's the Fields Medal, which is kind of equivalent at some level, but almost nobody knows about it. It's only given every five years. You have to be under 40, whatever.

He never won that, but he won like the prize just beneath that, if you will, called the Cole Prize. A remarkable scientist, got into incredible discoveries in mathematics and physics. And I knew one thing. He never won the Nobel Prize. So as some kids might compete with their father, who's a captain of the high school football team, and they want to be the captain of the college, very competitive.

Boys can be competitive with their dads, right? You know that. And I wanted to compete with him, but he was an athlete. I was an athlete. I can compete with him and do what he could not do, which was win a Nobel Prize. And I was estranged from him. And I was like, I'm going to win a Nobel Prize, and I'll show him, and he'll regret that he abandoned me and gave me up for adoption.
