And I was on the set of The Crow with him three weeks before he was shit. You never knew this? This is wild. I'm on the set of The Crow. They're doing some stunt work. And I'm like going, like, this is a dangerous set. Like, these guys, something's off here. And there was one part where they were going to throw an actor into some boxes. And I see nails coming out of the boxes. Oh, my God.

And I'm like... Like, I go over to the stunt coordinator. I go, dude, like, there's two nails out of this, like, crate here. You're going to throw somebody in. So when I heard what happened, I was like, there was a moment where I felt like if I was there, I'm the type of guy that if there's a gun on the table, I'm going to check. Is it loaded? Is it this?

So I don't know if you know the whole story of how he died. There was the dummy round blew when the primer blew. No one cleaned the gun, so the tip of the bullet was in the barrel. When they put the squibs in to close up on the gun so you get the flash, it blew the lead out so slow that it just did so much damage when it hit Brandon in the stomach.

I, I love to read. I had three books. It's a red eye back. I was living in Canada at the time. And, uh, I put my books down here. I'm in business class. I got a seat beside me. I'm like, oh, good.

I'm quiet. I'm doing this. And before they close the door, a flight attendant, not working the flight, runs on. So she's got her name. She's got whatever, Delta or American, whatever it was. She gets in, and I'm wearing like this, T-shirt, jeans. And she says, oh, that's my seat. I move my shit, and I'm thinking, oh, fuck.

And she goes, she goes, so what do you do? And we're starting to taxi. And I look at her and I go, I'm a life insurance salesman. Thinking, who wants to talk about life insurance just as you're taking off, right? And she looks me up and down. She goes, you're not a life insurance salesman. I'm a good reader character.

And she goes, oh my God, yeah. I ended up doing a five hour seminar for the whole flight home. But it was this idea that if, when you say to people, come to Blacksite and train with us, they go, this looks cool. But then they sit there, they don't realize the noxious effect of fear. Like why would you invest in and practice something you never want to have happen?
