Ain't no way.

I love being here.

Yeah, it is.

Also, to give you an analogy, and I don't know if it's a real good one.

I'll try, though.

I was also in the National Guard at the same time.

And so when you go through Army basic or any of the basic trainings, I know Army and Marine Corps, they make you go through the gas chamber.

And there are certain people that are cut out for it and other people that can't.

My instructors would stand in there without a gas mask on.

I became one of those people that could stand in there and in the morgue and be around the most horrific things that you've ever seen.

And you have to be able to cut through the horror of what you're experiencing.

of what you're observing and try to find scientific truth in it.

Because if you don't, if you don't, it is going to be such a major missed opportunity that it's almost, you can't calculate it because you never know the smallest little thing in any case can turn an entire case and can turn how people view the case, whether it's prosecutors, the public, whoever it is.

And so

I just adapted.

I had to, uh, you know, I've been on my own since I was very young and had to make my way.

And I just, I embraced that life.

I braced it to, to my own detriment, you know, a long time down the road, but you don't see that when you're young.

Right.

You don't see the impact.
