Forgettable.

I'm so excited.

I'm so excited.

I'm here for his spot. I've been on the road for so long. It's so good to be back in New York. I was on the way here, and this is true. I was with my Indian friend. We were walking, and this homeless guy goes, look at these two computers. And... I miss that kind of racism. It's just like, you ever want to control ultimately a homeless guy? Like, what the is he talking about?

What were you... When we met in 2011, you were ex-law school? I was still in law school.

And you were at NYU. I was a... I had just graduated two years from graduating at NYU as a pre-med finance... I was pre-med finance. Pre-med finance?

I wanted to be like this evil private equity manager. Doctor, you want to be a private equity doctor? When I joined NYU, I was gung-ho on being a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon.

But it was definitely, there was definitely some good intent. And then I saw all my finance friends like, oh yeah, that seems fun. Being evil seems fun. But I was, I was gung ho on being a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon. And then I got a C plus in organic chemistry. And I was like, those kids. And I'll never, I'll never forget.

I'm sure you have a moment where like you called your parents, like I'm not doing law school anymore. No, I never told them. You never told them. They still don't know, to be honest. You look the part. I called my mom. I called my mom. I said, Mom, I'm dropping pre-med. And she screamed. I've never heard her scream that loud since. She screamed as if someone told her I was dead.

And she was like, what? We pay for you to go to school? This is how you repay us? You're going to end up running a liquor store just like your dad. And my dad's in the corner like, the f*** did I do? I'm just... Just trying to support my family. And then I did finance, and I graduated in 08 with a finance degree. And that obviously did not work out.

But the problem is, now all my friends are finance millionaires, and I still think I could do finance. I still think I know math. You're not alone. Apparently everyone in America thinks they can do finance. And I learned that I should just stick to jokes, because I was out to dinner with one of my friends, hedge fund guy. One of the good ones.

And he's telling me he was up like, he's managing $10 billion and he's up 70% on the year. I'm like, you're up $700 million? He's like, no man, that's $7 billion. I was like, oh yeah.
