And that comes from poker, too. Poker players can discern like a 52% probability from 48%, right? Most people think 100-0 and 50-50, right? There are a lot more gradations between 50-50 and 100-0.

So I have my boring consulting job in college where I could do it in like a third of the time that we are billing the client. So I had free time on my hands. In addition to starting the Spaceball stuff, my friend at work was like, we are starting a poker game at my apartment every Tuesday. The game actually never happens, but I was practicing for it online, playing games for fake money.

Poker does not really work for fake money. It's a game where you actually want to have to put something at risk. It's a game that involves bluffing and risk. So eventually I get some dubious offer to get money and some free online site. I remember going home to my parents for Christmas and like having a bunch of whiskey. I'm like, I'm just going to play online poker and you keep playing higher.

And lo and behold, though, it's a cliche where you lose all your money. But like I won, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got lucky at first and then parlayed that into eventually quitting my consulting job for a couple of years to play online poker. Wow.
