So I had the example on my mom's side as she worked. My dad was a hustler. My dad hustled. And, you know, when you think of the word hustler in this day and age, you know, it could be described as many things, right? Right. But my dad, you know, at seven years old was, you know, just like what you see, the little kids selling cheeklets and all that. He was selling newspapers.

He was selling everything. And so that hustle never left them. That entrepreneurship never left them. So he dabbled. In a lot of different, I'm going to say markets. Your dad was drug dealing? Your dad was drug dealing?

He can't say it. It hasn't been proven 100%, but he dabbled in a lot of different areas. Right. And he hustled. He worked hard. Nine to five jobs. He did construction. He worked for the labor's union. He was in the labor's union. He poured concrete. He did all of that. We built our home, you know, ADUs before they were called ADUs. That's how you learned construction. Oh yeah, we did.

I remember my mother calling somebody to come fix the house. Most disrespectful thing you could do to a Mexican father is call a white contractor over to fix the house. You call a white contractor? My mom called up like, hey, I know somebody. And then once my dad seen the bid, he's like, no, we're not doing this. So we fixed up the whole house. We roofed it, I think, three times.

And the time we were there, we converted the garage before they were called ADUs, right? Yeah. We built in a dish and we did all of that. That's how we learned construction.

Yeah. That's awesome. And I hated every minute working with my dad. Because, you know, they're impatient. And there, they train you to, you know, you're just, they talk to you the way men talk to you.

Yeah. That's awesome. And I hated every minute working with my dad. Because, you know, they're impatient. And there, they train you to, you know, you're just, they talk to you the way men talk to you.

Yeah, I think as a society, we start realizing how you see like the greatest generation that was before us and you see our grandparents, right? And you see how they built this country and, you know, 18, 19 going to war fighting and then coming back and building things. Um, and then that's slowly making it, making it easier for their kids.

I K I don't want them to go through that, what they went through and then us now doing it to our kids. And so you think of as a nation, as a, as a, um, As a country, we're young, 200 plus years. And you see these empires that they've been around for generations, like generations, hundreds, hundreds of years. And you kind of see it like what you just said right now, or your boy, the comedian.
