You know, you... Well, I think... To that, I think, again, a couple of things. We don't go out and talk about it because I think you do it because you care, not because you want the publicity. Absolutely. And I think it goes back to, again, as crazy as this sounds, having a near-death experience was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

because it goes back to the give the people the flowers while they're alive. The people that you really care about and that are special in your life You know what I mean? Like where I was faced with where, you know, I had when Marshall committed suicide when I was young, then I almost died shortly after that. I just looked at the lens of time very differently.

So it's like, if I really care about this person, and by the way, if you're listening to this, people that work for you, that give a shit about your organization, that give a shit about you, that go above and beyond, That is very rare. So when you find those motherfuckers, you keep them and you take care of them and actually care about them.

So when you find those motherfuckers, you keep them and you take care of them and actually care about them.
That's where it stems from of, you know, what if this person means a lot to me and my organization, but they never got to experience really how much that I did care about them. It would devastate me if something happened to them and they didn't know. So, My thing is it's always like, oh, we got to wait for a special occasion or we got to wait for this. We got to wait for that.

Like if somebody that is rocking with you and they're loyal, it's so rare. You should reward them because there's a handful of people in your life you're going to experience like that.

Right.
Right.
It's going to be very few and far between. And so for me, that's kind of where it's that's kind of where it stems from is because it's so weird because this duality of like, if I'm competing with you, I want to burn your fucking village down. And like, if I'm on the other end of the deal, I want the best end of the deal.

But then it's from the standpoint of it's for the people I care about in my family. and the people that I'm leading. But it's a timing thing, man. None of us know. It's like, if you're listening to this, I think there's 168 hours in a week, 160, 168 hours. But if I came to you tomorrow and I said, hey, you got 168 hours left, you would probably spend your week different.

And then the other thing too, back to the hospital thing, is I know this is going to sound fucking weird, but I was thinking when I was in the hospital, I was like, at the time, I was financially secure and I was in a good spot. But I was like, thinking one night, I'm like, man, what if tomorrow's my last day? I was like, I would trade everything just to have one more, right?

And then I was thinking like, if someone came in and said... I can give you this drink to give you an extra day, but I'm not going to tell you what day you get back. Right. And then I go back to a day where I fucked around and wasted time and hung out with somebody I didn't want to do, you know, want to, or hang out with a fucking dipshit or, you know what I'm saying?
