I think Dana White mentioned Joe Rogan and you at the inauguration of the most powerful person in the world. And who else?

Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts about this. First of all, it's interesting that we looked at skateboarding earlier. I've been lucky enough to get in on some things in the early phase, not the very earliest, but the early phase when things were kind of small and there wasn't a lot of money. at first and then things kind of blow up. When I was younger, I got into skateboarding.

Every kid in my town played soccer, swam. I got really excited about skateboarding when it was kind of at a low point in terms of like, there weren't a lot of kids skateboarding. It had gone through a phase of popularity then it had died in the early nineties. What town was that you're in? I grew up in the South Bay area. So this is what now is known as South Palo Alto before the internet.

Oh yeah. So, you know, we worked hard when we were in high school to get a skate park put in. There weren't many skate parks. It was really small.

I was 14 when the contest ended, Frank came around and asked me and this kid, Billy Waldman, who was like, they called him the demon child. He's kind of a wild one. He was my friend. If you put Billy Waldman demon child, he'll show up. You'll see it in his face. Watch this, ready? Look, that's what a demon child looks like. He was a good kid.

But in any case, what ended up happening was Frank was like, hey, where are you guys going? And we're like, well, we don't know. I was going to take the bus to Lancaster, see my friend Joe Rickabosh and somehow get home. And he was like, no, no, you guys can't do that. He was like a real protective dad. So he and Nancy Hawk took me in.
