I'm like, I just don't understand. It just didn't work for me. It didn't make sense. And I was like, you should put a bar. This should be like a garden bar. This should be an outside bar. I mean, look where you're at. He just kind of shrugged his shoulders like, whatever, you're from Kansas. I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, it's not going to happen.

You're not going to put, the city's not going to approve that. Okay, well, my question to myself was, well, how? How would they approve it? And that's literally how we started. And so it started out to be 12,000 square feet. And now once we started going, I'm like, we need this.

And as my business was growing, this was literally 37 months ago. That's when this project started. And I was like, I need this for my business. I need this. And that's kind of where it's kind of dwarfed to. So it's open. Time has come. Today is day number nine. Wow. Wow is right.

I get a lot of congratulations, you know, because I've been doing this for so long, building this. And so people congratulate me so long. And I don't want to say it just frustrates me. It irritates me when people congratulate me because I've done nothing. We are open. We are open. That's only one-third of it. We built this amazing facility, but that's only one-third of it.

Great service and great food are the other. And the club is 95% done construction-wise. So, Dan, you know me well enough to know what do I see.

Yeah, I see the 5% that's not done. That's just the way I've always been. So I do need to relax. I do need to appreciate how far I've come and how fun this is.

As it got bigger, and so I started expanding here, five, six years ago, my car business, I started expanding to Los Angeles. I build a family in my car business. My team is my team, and they're very important to me. My meetings are super important to me. And my celebration dinners with my employees are super. So it kind of dwarfed it like, I need a space for this. I need a space for this.

there was a need for this in Beverly Hills. And so that's how it kind of dwarfed. And as I was building this restaurant and taking on more and more space, it just became a membership club. Like it became like, okay, I can't just have everyone use this. I mean, I just walked you through and showed you that gorgeous, it's called the poor room, the conference room.

Like it's a gorgeous room that I need for myself, which means other businessmen also need that for themselves. And that was not going to be just open to the public. It needs to be just exclusive to our members.

I like people to tell me no and then to overcome it. I love the challenge. Literally, everybody, my designers, everyone says, you're not going to be able to hang an 18-foot F1 car from the ceiling.
