Truly, truly. Well, you better keep your sense of humor. Scott, what else have we got? It's like, if we could have done any better, we would have, but we didn't know better at the time. We were doing the best we could. We were just trying to get by. It was like, want to have a little fun. I just want to fit in. I just want to not feel... and self-conscious and afraid.

And I want to be like the cool people. And I, you know, that's what I want. I want to be like the cool people from, you know, from the big cities. I grew up in Jamestown, North Dakota. Were you using when you met your wife? No, no, no. No. Again, backstory. I was married twice before. Were you using when you met your first wife? Yes. Well, we used together. And then she had the good sense to stop.

And she left me because I was doing too many drugs and she didn't want to be in Los Angeles anymore. So I'm saving myself and got away. And on the rebound, I married somebody else. And it seemed like a good idea at the time. And it was, we fought every day for five years. Right. And then I got sober and went, I don't want to fight anymore. In fact, I don't want a relationship anymore.

Clearly, it doesn't work for me. I didn't grow up like this. My parents didn't fight. They didn't scream. You know, I'm not, what have I become? Right. And so I got happy being myself. When I got sober, I went, oh, I've got an active mind. I've got to get busy. So I took up martial arts. I took up yoga. I took up running. I went on a doctor supervised fast and lost 50 pounds.

I changed my life completely in mere months. And I meditated. And I meditated every day. And I went to meetings. Now, nine months sober. My life has changed. I'm happy. I'm up. I'm doing things. And a guy that worked for me went to the bank. And he was standing in line next to this beautiful model, black woman, international model. Started talking. He flirted a lot.

Said, why don't you come over and hear the music we're doing over at our studio? She goes, sure. I go walk into the studio and there he is playing music for her. And she's the most beautiful person I've ever seen in my life. It's like, I tried to be cool. I'm like, so what are you playing here? I'm catching glimpses and glimpses and God damn. And she got uncomfortable and left.
