Well, I remember the first time I think I ever met with him.
I was pursuing comedy and acting in Manhattan at the time, but I still had my day job with the Marines.
So I think he โ somehow he saw me doing something with the UCB Theater or something, but he was like, they're coming for a meeting, kid, basically.
And when I went to meet with him, I was in my uniform.
And he was probably like โ I think he was baffled.
He was like, what the hell is this?
The unit was small.
Yeah, the unit was very small.
It was probably...
20 to 30 Marines.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because there were other Marines, but they were on like recruiting duty perhaps or other things.
That reserve unit that I was in was more of a training unit.
So, you know, it was a lot of FBI agents, a lot of cops that, you know, they had day jobs and then they were in the reserve units, you know.
Yeah, just grinding.
And the not knowing, is all this time and energy that I'm pouring into this, is it going to lead anywhere or am I just wasting my time?
No, that's a good point.
No, no.
