  • Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Steve Shue.

  • Steve, thanks for coming on the podcast.

  • Wow.

  • So one.

  • Day in the spring of my senior year.

  • I was walking across campus and I see fine and coming toward me and we knew each other from various things And it's a small campus and I was a physics major and he was my hero.

  • So I guess I had known him since bright freshman year So he sees me and you know, he's got this.

  • I don't know

  • if it's long I guess it's a long island or it's it's some kind of New York borough accent and he says a shoe This is how he says my name.

  • Hey, Shu.

  • And I'm like, hi, Professor Feynman.

  • And so we start talking.

  • And he says to me, wow, you're kind of a big guy.
