I affectionately refer to them as "the entrepreneurs."
That moniker suits them perfectly because one of them founded a business advertisting company. And the other founded a health and wellness company. It's probably not too difficult to figure out which is which.
I've known these fellas since 2003 when they were roommates. At that time, one was working as a bartender/barback/actor and the other was working for a polarizing popular conservative radio personality.
I eventually became the talent manager for the actor. And I'm proud to say we achieved some moderate success. However, when he tired of waiting to be chosen for a gig, he decided to forge his own path and become the one DOING the choosing. The other remained in the world of radio but realized that selling advertising was far more lucrative than assisting on-air talent.
When I met these gentlemen I was 39, and they were 27 and 25. And all of us were single! Now, here we are 62 (still single), 50 (with wife and two kids) and 48 (with a woman who OUGHTA be his wife). Oh, has time flown by!!!
Well, the night we all convened at North Italia in Santa Monica, they brought their women with them; but for whatever reason, the women wanted a photo of just us fellas. So, here it is.
I truly and wholly enjoyed linking up with them.
I look forward to many more years of laughter, scrumptious food, delicious cocktails and reciprocal friendship.
