Yeah, Mainer's the correct term.

Oh, you know, not much.

Everything's real mellow, having a real mellow resistance.

My life is definitely on the exact path that I thought it would be.

Well, I mean, and do you mind if I give you like the two minute spiel on this?

Because I think it's rather important.

So I moved back to Maine in 2016.

After I deployed a bunch in my 20s, early 30s in the Marine Corps and the Army.

And what I got back from that was very disillusioned, was very, frankly, bitter, was was really and then was also struggling with all the standard stuff that one goes through after, you know, multiple heavy combat deployments.

And I went to college in D.C.

I went to George Washington.

I didn't graduate, but I kind of went to school, was a bartender, actually bartended on Capitol Hill, which gave me a look behind the curtain.

And I realized that the wizard is, in fact, a very small man.

And seemingly dumb.

And see me.

Well, so honestly, there was there was part of my disillusionment was actually living in D.C.

and kind of meeting people in the political space and realizing that, like, this is it.

Oh, wow.

Like I went through all of that horror.

I saw like my friends got killed.
