Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again. So today we're going to do things a little bit different.

We're going to do things backwards. Today I'm going to tell you a story.

And then I'll give you the question that prompted it.

So today we will talk about two of my friends, two of my friends who, they've never met each other,

but I've always wanted to introduce them because even though they

are different in just about every visible way, they are also just utterly identical in so many others.

One of them is this blue collar, working class guy,

but his family is uh not they're loaded and by loaded I mean

loaded dad is like chief of cardiology wherever older brother's a doctor other older brother

was in medical school when I met him but my friend, he didn't go to college. He liked cars, he liked turning ranches. He became

a mechanic. Eventually, he got his own shop and did it without money from dad.

But, even though he was very much blue collar, he never put out that appearance.

He always still dressed like he had money because he didn't want to embarrass his parents.

The other guy did not come from money, came from total, total poverty, but some foundation came along and swooped him up and he

went to all the right schools, All the right schools.

Ironically, went to medical school.

And when he went to medical school,

I lost track of him for a while,

and then I ran into him randomly on the other side of the country.

And when I saw him, honestly, I didn't recognize him at first.

And if the coffee cup he had if it had been empty I would have

put money in it. Guy's a surgeon and still looked like he lived in just total poverty because he didn't want to embarrass his parents.
