You know, 20 years earlier at the Shutter's Hotel, which is Santa Monica, I got a call from Mark Burnett, and he was casting for Shark Tank, and I was working on a show in England.
He said, you've got to come over and have breakfast with me.
I'm casting this new show called Shark Tank, and I'm looking for a real a-hole, and you're it.
That's what Mark Brunette said about you.
And now, 20 years later, I'm hearing the same story from Safia, looking for the a-hole, and you're it.
And I'm starting to think this a-hole thing's really working.
And Josh said, he went beyond and he said, I want the first frame to tell everybody that's the a-hole.
Without me even saying anything, I was honored.
I thought, my goodness.
And I said to him, maybe I should embrace this a-hole.
Maybe I should be the best a-hole I can be.
Wake up in the morning and be proud of my a-holeness.
