And I think if everybody attacked or looked at opportunities that are fed them that way, probably chase a lot more.

Part of that's because your parents are still together.

See, when your parents get divorced, you get great stories.

My favorite story about my dad, who passed away several years ago, my favorite story about my dad was he went to a golf tournament at the TPC in Jacksonville.

And I don't remember what year this was, but it was really windy, and him and my mom had gone.

It was in the 70s.

And Jack Nicklaus had a putt on the 18th green from like eight feet to tie it up and make it go to a playoff.

And Jack got over the putt,

And he missed the putt to the left and he immediately turned around and shot this death stare into the crowd.

Now...

My father's side of the story is it was very windy, and he had a bag of potato chips, and he was trying to shield them from the wind under his jacket, and they were still making some noise, and then Jack Nichols shot him a look, as is to say kind of thank you for trying to shield that.

My mom's side of the story was your dad was standing there munching on those potato chips like an idiot.

Jack Nichols missed that, but he turned around and looked at your father like he wanted to murder him.

So that was effectively, yeah, you get little stories like that, but I get that.

But it's also, I think part of it, man, like me, same thing, like grow up in a small town.

I think you either settle into this is all there is, or you go the other way, which is I'm looking for adventure.

Well, it's funny because I just put a book out of the same name as this, and there's a lot of stories.
