And so I'm going to give you something if you're worthy.

And now it's up to you to honor, you know, use yourself.

Don't just go, I got it.

We're done.

No, you got to work it now.

Polish it, you know, make it.

First of all, I think the first thing I got to say about it is I was drafted, so I was in the military.

I got in the Army Reserves, but was on active duty and all the rest, so I well understood the position of...

That was something, no, I don't want to do that.

So I got my draft notice, got into the Army Reserves.

So I understood that side of the coin and that side of fate, you might say.
