When I was in high school, I had a session with like a guidance counselor and I said, hey, I, you know, he said, what's your plan? I said, well, you know, I was, I read about Brown. I said, you know, they let you make your own degree. You can kind of roll your own concept. So my concept is psychology and like human behavior plus computers, because, you know, I'm into computers and online services specifically.

He laughed in my face. This is when I was like 16 years old and the guidance counselor like spit out his coffee laughing. He said, you're you're barely gonna get into any college. You have like a 72, three-year average. Like, aren't you gonna take the cop test?

I said, yeah, I took, I'm taking the cop test with my brother Josh and another one beat a cop. I almost was one. And uh he said, you know, do that. Like it's better. Like you're not barely getting into Brooklyn college.
