It’s the only time I’ve ever been on a story where I thought we might get shot. I love Jonathan Vegas. Did you have you done a story on that? I went to Venezuela. It It’s actually incredible. So, his father was protesting against Hugo Chavez, who was, you know, the the dictator down there forever, and was basically put on like this enemies list, was not allowed to work, was black ballalled from Venezuelan society basically because they were afraid that that Jonathan would never have any opportunities in life, let alone golf. They sent him to Houston when he was a boy to live with his Venezuelan family, expats. They introduced him to golf. They were part of this whole journey. After Jonathan won, you know, his rookie year, Chavez tweeted, “Oh, he’s the prize of Venezuela. Like, we love this guy. He’s our He literally ran away from your tyrannical government.” Exactly. And so Johnny Vegas had not been home in years cuz it wasn’t considered safe. So when he went back, I went with him and we were in Karakus in this armored Humvey with like actual like Navy Seal types. Yeah. We did this photo shoot. All these like dudes came up with machine guns shouting at us in Spanish, pointing like the guns at us like figing figures were like twitching. I was like, “Wow, this is a bad way to go.” Eventually things cool down, but it was that was a little hairy.
