So, because I felt that way, I just had no qualms about just being up front with, like, that's ridiculous. You know, you're wrong, I'm right, whatever, and pushing back on people. So...

Right. But, like, one Friday a month, they'd be like, okay, today's debate day. And we came in there one day, and it was that Friday. And she goes, this is, you know, 2003 or whatever the timeline was for this. We were just gearing up to... The country was debating whether to go to war in Iraq, right? Like weapons of mass destruction and all that. And she's like...

who all here thinks we should go to war with Iraq? And roughly half the kids raised their hand. And she was like, okay, who thinks we shouldn't? And it was literally just me. Like, I was the only one who raised my hand in the whole class. And she goes, and who doesn't have an opinion? And the other half of them raised their hand like, I don't care.

And she's like, okay, you guys are on Trey's team. You get over here. You guys get on this half of the room, and everybody else on this side. But, you know, they had all just said they didn't even care. So it was literally just me saying, It was literally just me versus the other half of the team. But I was completely unbothered by that.

Well, I ended up getting bothered by it because I was like... They're over there yelling. It's like, they knocked their damn towers down. We got to do something. And it's like, no, they didn't.

Yes, I was very aware of being – like, I've been – it's like a running theme with me is I'm kind of a man without a country. I've been that way my whole life because I never really fit in in my hometown. And, like, now I live in L.A. And, I mean, you know, you'll be surprised to hear I don't super fit in here either. So I just kind of never really have. So, you know, I'm adjusted to it.
