I heard there was a distinguished group, a band of brothers here. What's up?
Walking past, and I was like, well, let me just drop in real quick. How you guys doing?
You hopping in? No. This is your hot seat, bro.
Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. That's a pleasure having you on. Appreciate you making time. Yeah, no, thank you guys.
That's, what, three decades.
Can I tell it real quick? Yeah, absolutely. So Smokey Robinson, singer, right? Yeah. That's my grandfather's favorite entertainer. So at birth, he's like, hey, you're my Smokey. Now, my mother was like, okay, he can be your Smokey. That name is not going on the birth certificate, though. So Christopher is my government name. But from birth, my family has known me as Smokey.
And obviously, you know, playing sports, joined the Army. I want people to be comfortable with me. So it's like, hey, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
92.
No, I wasn't.
94. Wow. Oh, wow. I was five. You know, and I love telling troops nowadays, let me tell you about the 1900s, right? In their mind, they're like, oh my gosh, like, okay, we're getting ready to get something from this guy, so. Yeah, 92. Great year to join.
First assignment was Vicenza, Italy. And there were a lot of Vietnam veterans that were kind of still going. They're on the back leg of their career. So being able to kind of get mentored and developed by them and what they experienced and then what they went through in the Cold War era, because most of them had spent most of their career there in Europe, you know, after coming out of Vietnam.
So it was very interesting. And then, you know, coming back stateside and then, like you said, now we start going into some other things there in Southwest Asia. So, yeah, it's been interesting over the last 30 years what I've seen.
Classic. Wish I would have known that. Do you have a set of foreign jump wings? Like, do you have a run and tally of foreign jump wings? I don't think so. Wow.
What are you guys doing later tonight? There you go. Hey, there we go.
What's your next step when you... Did you think you were going to stay in as long as you did? Absolutely not. I definitely had a plan when I joined to come in because, you know, things were not going the way I needed them to go in college. The baseball career that I thought I was going to have was not happening. So had a plan to come in for four years, knew the Olympics was coming around in 96.
So my plan was to get to Atlanta. as my last assignment, try to get to some tryouts and get back into baseball. So, no, never would I have thought that, you know, I'd be sitting here, honestly, with you guys right here, at least in uniform. Same, honestly. We never thought we'd be sitting here with you. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Shout out, Tyler, Sugar Free, Stevens. Based out of Birmingham, Spartan Fitness. Nice.
You saw that, right?
