Yay.

That makes me feel so good.

So you tried it four times in total before your fifth time when you swam from Cuba to Florida and you succeeded.

You've talked a lot about your ability to disassociate from pain, you know, during your long swims.

Yeah.

I'm really interested to know how your brain works at, you know, hour 20 versus hour 40, right?

Versus hour 50, you know, what's happening to your brain, if you can recall.

But also, are there times in your life now when sort of disassociating is useful for you?

Yeah, that's cool as hell.

Yeah, wow.

I mean, that is just so...

enormous.

It's so intense to consider.

But then when you've completed that swim, is there a period of, I mean, it must be wild to come down off of that process.

I mean, like you said, you're working with the team and, you know, you're all in it together and you triumphed and it's amazing and now it's done.

And so where does the energy of that endeavor

I don't know what you're going to do, but I'm curious about it because like in my own life when I...

you know, finish shooting a film or finish shooting a TV series that can go on for years and years.

There is a period of time when it ends when it's like proper grief.

Yeah.
