Now you mentioned earlier that at this point in your life, maybe two or three times a year, you'll find yourself in that place of...

Where, you know, you're on the edge.

And I think and I watch people and I've listened to people.

They talk about Alex Honnold all the time.

And I'm sure you've seen Free Solo where the psychopath just completely climbs his sheer face.

And I was sweating watching that, knowing that he was still alive years after the documentary was made.

And he gets asked about risk all the time.

And.

I think people, they assume that you don't know when you are going to be in that level of risk.

And I played around in some of the stuff that you do mostly on the skydiving and base jumping side of the house.

And people would ask me the same thing.

And I'm like, listen, it's kind of a choose your own adventure.

I choose to enter into that type of risk on such infrequent occasions.

levels that I feel like in that moment, the risk, especially if the weather is right and the wind is right and the sunlight, all of those things.

And if those aren't there, you just drift away from the object a little bit and the safety profile can start going up.

But so many people, they'll just, oh, you're an adrenaline junkie.

I'm like, don't get me wrong.

I enjoy doing this, but I think people misunderstand how calculated you are when you are exposing yourself to that risk.

It's not like you hop out of bed and then accidentally end up at that spot where you have to perform.

It's controlled almost.
