Well, I mean, just an example.

An example that sounds like it's not connected, but it is and it has to do with football.

I love that you keep coming back to the scene here.

I played 11 years of organized tackle football.

And I was, you know, I got all valleys and stuff like that.

But I wasn't going anywhere.

But I got some trophies and stuff.

And I realize I'm left-handed through and through.

I am in a right-handed stance my entire life, right hand down.

I always found that interesting.

And I like it better that way.

But I realized when I showed up to the East Valley Trojans in 1973 –

uh pop warner football at age you know seven and tried to get into a football stance that with my left hand down because i'm left-handed some dude in the windbreaker came by and kicked my hand and said put your other fucking hand down yeah and i went uh this feels i'm left-handed you know and they go hey hey

We do it with the right hand.

Wow.

I put the right hand down.

And they just turn me around.

You know what I mean?

They would do that if you were gay.

Yeah.
