Mexicans don't work out. I'm just being honest. Like, it's just. It's not part of our DNA. I mean, but we don't work out. And when he would talk about it, I didn't really understand why. So I did something to him one day, and I realized he was getting a little bit comfortable. And I went up to him and I just kind of grabbed him. This is when he had a little bit more of this. But I went up to him and I grabbed him right here by the back, and I grabbed this little love handle, and I kind of squeezed it a little bit. And can you imagine what it would do to him? Like, he's like, what are you doing? And I was like, we're getting a little comfortable. I didn't just do it for that. I realized that there was a level in him, in business, as a dad, as a father, in everything. That if he was in elite shape and if he felt and he believed in himself and his confidence was that way, that he was going to be a better husband, a better leader, a better father in everything else.
