So my dad actually has a condo on Orange Beach.

Alabama has beaches.

A lot of people don't know that.

But it's the part of Alabama that looks like Florida should own it.

So we're going to Orange Beach, and my kids are like, oh, I really want to go to Mobile, which just sort of –

Blows my mind.

And also was like, I never said that when I was your age.

You know, but they want to go to his house in Mobile.

And yeah, so they're sort of bummed out.

It's funny.

So my dad, I think my dad likes living in Mobile because he like was a titan of industry and he got into insurance sales and then became in charge of insurance company.

Like he just he got into the thing called reinsurance was the people who insure insurance, which is like the ultimate highest level of scam right under Bitcoin.

And so he did well and has lived in New York and has traveled all over the world and could live anywhere he wants to but likes living in Mobile because I think he likes walking the streets of places like – and you thought I'd never be anything because he was like the kid who came from the family that was poor and being black in Mobile.

Nobody's supposed to be successful.

So he really likes the fact that he's now like a giant fish in a small town.

So therefore –

About 10 years ago, my dad like built his dream house.

And when you go into it, it feels like you drew this on a piece of paper when you were eight because this is ridiculous.

And because it's mobile, it probably cost half a million dollars.

I don't know.
