I'm just crazy.
It has just been nonstop. I got a call from ABC News in the middle of dinner. They wanted to come over to my place, which kind of got me nervous because I thought they were some weirdos. I grilled them a bit. I hope they're real. I said, OK, well, meet me outside my building. I'm not letting you in my house. So that was fine. They were very nice people. And then I got a call from CNN in Hong Kong.

I was literally preparing dinner. I was looking for a recipe for linguine and clams. And I walked over to the computer. You know, I'd looked at one before. And then I got an email from Sarah Albrecht, who is the head of the Liberty Justice Center, and the wonderful people who have taken our case pro bono. And they're the ones doing the heavy lifting, not me. I'm just the legal spokesmodel.

So I read that. And of course, I'm completely confused because I don't know the legalese or the summary judgments. Is that good? Bad? I don't know. I immediately got in touch with a friend of mine who's a lawyer. He explained it, that it was very good. So just kind of been off to the races.

Because I'll tell you, I'll tell you, it is also strange and backdoor. It's like unintentional. This is in March. We're at brunch and we're talking about the tariffs because that was on everyone's mind. We're having a conversation with a cousin of my wife's. And He brought up the fact that his former law professor was bringing a case against the tariffs.

And I said, wow, this is great because I wanted to give my two cents about what was going on in my business and in the wine business. You know, I got in touch with him right away and he got right back to me, got right back to me. And we had a wonderful conversation. I told him my tales of woe about being in the wine business and an importer in the world of threatened tariffs.
