I traveled all the way down here.
He goes, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Meet me in my hotel lobby tomorrow morning at whatever, nine o'clock, whatever time it was.
No cameras rolling.
I said, no, no, no, no.
We don't want any cameras rolling.
So the next morning we got there a little early.
We're having like a croissant in this really fancy hotel.
And it was like a $10 cup of coffee back then.
And the concierge comes up to me.
He says, Mr. Fox, do you have a telephone call?
I go over there and it's buzzing.
He's like, I can't do it.
He goes, Paul Allen has just invested in SETI, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
Very conservative.
Those guys were looking for shit all over CrossFit, you know.
And he goes, I can't jeopardize them trying to develop a rocket to get citizens into space, yada, yada, yada.
I'm working with Congress.
I can't do it.
And how is my story going to change anything anyway?
