And so I moved back from Seattle, and I was sitting in my friend's living room.
Brian McMahon, he's been one of my closest friends since he was 12.
Complete numbskull.
If there's any proof you don't have to be a genius to do this, Brian McMahon is the proof.
He's going to fold.
He's a black belt in jujitsu.
He's going to fold me up for saying that.
But we were sitting in his living room right after September 11th, and he said –
He said, don't laugh at me, but tomorrow or this week, I'm going to join the Army.
And it was one of those moments.
I was 28 years old.
I was a decade into my career.
I wasn't looking for a new career.
I wasn't looking for a new opportunity.
But it was September 11th, right?
And so we were just months removed.
This was probably December.
So just a few months removed from September 11th.
And he said, don't laugh at me.
I'm going to join the Army tomorrow or this week.
