Just trying to measure my words a little bit. Because my precious wife's boyfriend at the time, I'll just say, encouraged her to try out for the cheerleading squad. And now I. I had a mullet at the time that I could actually reach behind me and grab my hair. It was long enough. Let me just say that when I was. You're come from Texas, friend. That's right. That's right. That's right. So. So I had long hair, and I was a little bit more built at that time. So Jen shows up at the encouragement of her boyfriend to try out for cheerleading in the first week of January, 1990. So we are coming up on 36 years of knowing women. Wow. And so the first night, her boyfriend had recommended that she not partner with me. For reasons that he explained to her. So she shows up, and she was afraid of me that first night of practice. But she was also most stable, standing on my shoulders. So the coach paired her up with me. And so practice the second night. The next night, she went home, back to her dorm afterward. And got on the payphone and made a call to home and said, mom, I've met the man I'm going to marry. What? Yeah. Yeah. And her mom said, it's not your boyfriend, is it? She goes, no, it's my new cheerleading partner. I would have loved to have seen her mom's face at that point. So that's how we met.
