So we've been through it.
It's funny.
It was a few months before I went out on a date with Amal.
And I didn't, you know, like I said, I didn't have kids.
I wasn't married.
I had really no prospects of that idea.
I wasn't really thinking about it.
And I'd met with my accountant to do my will.
And while I was doing my will, I said, so what happens when I get hit by a bus?
And he said, well, you have to list who you're going to leave it to.
And I had these 12 guys, 12 friends who have been my friends since 19, all but two of them since 1982 and two of them since like 1989.
And we've all been very close.
And I was just going to leave the money to them.
And then I was sitting there with him and, you know, again, I don't have any money to leave to anyone else.
And I said, well, why are we waiting until I'm like, you know, old or they're old?
And why don't we just get on with it now?
And so I got $12 million in cash, which was, you know, a big chunk of the money I had.
I had it in cash.
I paid all the taxes on it, so nobody had to pay any taxes.
And I put them in these Tumi suitcases, and I told everybody that they had to come over to dinner.
