Yeah. Yeah. I was at UCSD and I left Caltech.

I never had the physique to get into the military, although I wanted to at one point to be a pilot. Actually, I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy like my stepfather did. But I didn't have the physique. I didn't have the HLP diet back then. But the point was you go on a military. It's a whole way and you do it in seven days, eight days if you're lucky.

Sometimes it could take three weeks due to the weather down there. It's the most violent weather, most winds, turbulence, everything hostile. But that's a cakewalk compared to the Explorer Shackleton. Scott and, of course, Amundsen. So the quest to get to the South Pole first, which is South Pole, I should say, for people that aren't familiar, Antarctica is the seventh continent.

It's the last one to be discovered. It was only really discovered. It was thought to be there because it was thought that to balance the continents in the northern hemisphere, you needed a massive counterweight in the southern. It's so stupid. But anyway, it wasn't discovered until… 1900s, really, that they truly existed. And then it wasn't explored until 10 or 12 years later.

And the quest to get to the South Pole, it was the last unexplored, you know, non-filled in part of the map of the Earth. So the quest to get there was like going to the moon. And in fact, it exactly parallels the moon in that once it was reached for the first time, nobody cared to go back again, you know, for many, many years.

And we're only going back to the moon now, 60 years later, 50 years later. after Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 missions, right? So getting there and setting that bar, right, and making that accomplishment, sometimes that's the extent of it. Like when you have that dopamine hit of being the first to get somewhere. Scott was a British scientist and explorer. And Amundsen was just an explorer.

Amundsen, Roald Amundsen, he tried to get to the North Pole first. He lost. Somebody else beat him. And he said, well, I'm going to keep going with this skis and sled dog team that I have. And he literally went to the South Pole, 180 degrees around. So the poles are the two endpoints of the Earth's axis of rotation. There's a North Pole. There's no land there. There's no continent there.

There's ice there and Santa is there. Exactly, right? And then the South Pole is a continent. I brought a piece of it here that I collected probably illegally from Antarctica. I'll show it to you later. It's just rocks, right? So if you drill under the ice in Antarctica, you come to a continent. That's the difference between the North and South Poles.
