I do. Pete, you and I have known each other very loosely for years.

I've said hi to you many times, and I wish it was more than just a hi. It's always been in passing. And Sean, I don't believe we've met, but it's a pleasure to meet you also. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, so about 15 years ago, I was thinking about maybe a side hobby. And people were asking me if I wanted to go in on a restaurant or maybe a bar. And to me, that just seemed like a horrible idea for many reasons. Just like when, talk about like all blind spot. I had enough of, because I'm like you, I have a lot of blind spots.

But I sensed that that would be a bad move for me to open a bar, be part of that. Yeah. And at the time, I was boxing at a club that Bob Dylan owns in Santa Monica. And the trainer of the gym got into a beef with Bob, which is a whole great story in itself. Getting into beefs with Bob Dylan, which, like, there's a whole side of Bob Dylan around a boxing gym. Hey. Yeah.

He'll hit you with a guitar. You know, you're really annoying me today. And if you don't do something, I'm going to get physical on you. But we used to spar Bob. But you could never hit. You weren't really allowed to hit him back. And he would pop you. Bob Dylan had a sharp jab. And it was supposed to be like, but you couldn't hit him back. And so I took a few shots from Bob.

But Dylan got in a fight with the then head trainer and fired him. And Gary Shandling, who's a good friend of mine, was also training at that gym. And Gary came to me and said, Pete, why don't we take this trainer and start our own gym? And I said, okay, it seemed like a better, more interesting experience than opening a bar.

And so Gary and I backed this gentleman, started our own gym, and the gentleman who we hired ended up leaving. We had some problems with him. And then Gary died, RIP Gary Shandling, who I love so much. and left me alone with the boxing gym, and it has been one of the stupidest things that I have ever done in my life, bar fucking none.
