Yeah, you know, and I realized that about six months ago. And I don't know what significance it has to do about anything. You don't come and kiss the ring or any of that. But it just... It really identified for me my age and how many of my family that I love dearly that are now gone. Yeah, it was a real shock for me.

There's a lot of emotions to that. I've got one or two now that are on the edge of checking out. I feel privileged to have had as long to spend with... A lot of people. I talked to Weasel today for our fishing trip in July. And I mean, him and I have been friends for, God, 60 years. And I have a lot of friends like that.

But losing them, especially rugby players, what is really shocking for me now is the amount of rugby players that I coached when they were Michael's age that are now dying. What are they dying of? I just had a very close friend. He's diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. Is that a genetic thing? No, it's what do you call it, MS? MS. Multiple sclerosis. Yeah.

And I made time to have a lunch with him. Two of my old rugby friends, we got together with him. And losing people like that, I mean, obviously I've lost a lot of friends to alcoholism and stupidity.

That stuff really shakes me because it's real easy to be cavalier when you're at this age. But when stuff like that happens, it really takes you back to just how lucky you are. And a lot of times you just don't acknowledge that every morning. Do you have a will written up? I got to trust.

Do I have a will? No. No. I'm trying to learn how to deal with you. You've been dealing with me my entire fucking life. I set up a lot of my own shame. I got it.

I've got cash. I've already got saved. I'm either giving to you or Casey. And when I go, that money you're going to take to the bar. And we invite all the friends. We'll have a list. All right. And no one gets to leave until that money's exhausted.
