You know, making this show I get a lot of feedback and one of the most common

0:04.8

misconceptions viewers seem to have about me is that I'm a guy who never smiles

0:10.0

and doesn't know how to have fun and that really bugs me because it couldn't be

0:14.5

further from the truth. In reality, I'm actually very fun, relaxed and easy going.

0:21.2

Now obviously I could just be saying that to you so tonight I'm going to

0:26.4

prove it. How? By spending the entire day with a complete stranger and

0:32.1

1:22.3

month later, I didn't have a million and a half in the bank, I had two and a

1:26.3

half million dollars in debt.

1:31.1

You know what, I wanted to defend myself as I do frequently before my kids who

1:35.8

mocked me. It was one of the worst times of my life because I thought of myself as
