And his, you know, his dad, he'd grown up in Japan for the most part.

And so Grizz had showed this video to his dad of me and him, you know, with these Panamanian girls laughing in a bar saying, whoop, AEA, because we were just laughing.

So when we go to, they had a big service at the Naval Academy because he's a hero at the Naval Academy.

And I met his dad and, you know, his dad recognized me.

And, you know, I told his dad that,

Because he had told me, because I said to him one day, I told his dad, I said, you know, I said to your son one day, I said, hey, you grew up in Japan.

Like, you're going to a Japanese high school.

How did you learn to play football?

And he said, my old man taught me.

And as that happened,

You know, I got, I was very, you know, obviously we're all, we're all broken up for the mess, but I don't know what, I don't, I wasn't behaving properly.

And my, my running mate from the SEAL teams,

who I went through buzz with, I went through SCT with, I did three platoons with this guy, I was in training cell, and this guy was my roommate the whole time, just like my running mate.

And he pulled me aside and he was like, hey, Grizz didn't, you're not the only one that lost Grizz.

And I thought to myself, he's 100% right.

And what it made me aware of is that the way you perceive yourself is not going to be accurate all the time.

And you have to be very cautious in the way you behave because you think you're behaving a certain way, but other people's perception is going to be different.

And there's a really good chance that their perception is more accurate than your own.

And that struck me.

And this guy was, you know, this guy was my best friend.
