And when you were little, though, you have said that you were a bit rambunctious, like you had your head strong. You knew your own mind even as a young boy. And you went to military school at 13. I guess, was your dad trying to straighten you out? Yeah, he was trying to sort of make me behave a little bit better. No, I really think when people that you're born a certain way. Yeah. And even before you can speak and everything, you're sort of a certain character. Yeah. And as you get older, you don't change that much. You can change a little bit, but you know, and you want to change for the better. But I really you born a certain way. You're born with a certain energy. Yeah. A lot of people don't have energy. If you don't have energy, it's going to be a tough life. But they don't have energy to be successful. You need energy. You have to be able to go hard and long. Now, you need a lot of other things. You need a lot of things, but you do need energy. I see people without energy. They're really smart, but they don't have what it does drive necessary to be successful. Yeah. And when you were quite young, your father sent you for aptitude testing. Tell us what happened. Well, I was sent for aptitude. Like I just did one over here. I just did a cognitive test and I aced it. The doctors will tell you I aced it. I'm the only president that's ever done, you know, a cognitive test. Joe Biden should have done one. Well, he wouldn't have gotten past two or three questions. He wouldn't have done very well. But no, I'm the only president that's ever done a cognitive test. The doctors say, sir, I did my physical, it came out good. And then they said, sir, would you like to take a cognitive? I said, well, I do well. You know, it's Walter Reed. I said, if I do well, nobody's going to write about it. If I do poorly, it's going to be the biggest story in history. Right. But I got 100 percent of the questions. I aced it. The doctors have reported it. So when you were little, it's a little risky. You know that it was. Yeah. But you knew you'd be fine. But when you were little, you were found to be having to have a musical genius. Right. They said, well, my father and mother took me to a place like an aptitude place to see what I would be good at, what I liked and what my talent was at pretty young, like probably 11 or 12. And I went through this process for a couple of days and they came up to my father and they said, your son is brilliant at music. He'd be an incredible musician. This is not this is not what my father wanted to hear. You know, this was not the greatest thing. But I do have an ear for music. Yeah, I feel, you know, I think music has played a big role. We have I play great music. People like the music I play. But it was funny because my father would not have thought about music for me. But I do. I think I have an ear for music. They play a note and like on a piano. And then I remember to this day. Yeah. And then they ask you other questions and then they play notes later on and they say, which is the note we played from one hour ago? And I'd like get it right, I guess. But but that was a long time ago. But did you ever play an instrument? I played like for very short periods of time. The flute. Would you believe that? Did you like it? I had flute lessons. It's the first person that's ever asked me that crazy question. Yeah, I had flute. Can you believe it? I could have been a flutist and I didn't particularly like it. I don't know. Was it for me? But and my mother had me with I had instructors and instructor coming to teach me how to play the flute. Can you believe that? Who would think I can't imagine an unusual instrument? You could maybe still do it. I doubt it. I don't think so. And do you do you? I guess you've incorporated music into your life anyway. I mean, your rallies, your music has been important. Yeah. Yeah. It also gives you energy, gives you something that gives you if it's good, good music. People that produce good music are really talented, in my opinion. It's a it's not an easy thing to do, but it's it's you play it in the residence. I play it as much as I can. I love I love great music. What do you what do you love? Well, I love different types of music, but I like country music a lot. I like I think Elton John is terrific. I think he's absolutely terrific. There's so many great show. The Broadway show, you know, there's so many great talents. But it's amazing, actually, how many and there's some people that make it that I don't think are talented. But great music is I think it's very important, actually. And you were you were fourth of five children. So one of the youngest. And were you spoiled or do you think you were more neglected as a as a little child or sort of the opposite of neglected? Yeah, but it was I was fourth. Good family, a great parents, great brothers, sisters. I mean, I really always a good family. There was nothing unusual other than if you call good because I had a great mother and a great father. My my brothers and sisters were terrific. It's not a lot of excitement in that answer, but but I really your older brother, I guess he he was incredibly handsome, very athletic, very promising. And he ended up having an issue with alcohol. He did. He had a big issue. And he used to tell me, never, ever drink, never, ever smoke. He smoked, too. He was a very handsome guy. Very. He was an unbelievable personality. But the the booze got to him and he'd always say, don't drink, don't smoke. Now, those days there were no drugs, you know, drugs. I guess there were, but you didn't know about it. But he would have added drugs in there. But he said, don't ever smoke and don't ever drink. But drinking in particular must have broken your dad's heart. Well, he was a great guy. You know, he was he was terrific. Could have done anything. You could fly airplanes unbelievably well. He had a great talent for that. But alcohol was a was a killer for him. And did you sort of learn from his mistakes? Yeah, I never had a drink of alcohol.
