Hey, coming up, our interview with John Morgan from Morgan and Morgan. It's pretty interesting. Wouldn't you guys agree? That's an interesting guy.

So interesting. A billionaire, got crazy stuff. owns the OJ Simpson Bronco. Lives in Hawaii. Yeah. Chills. I almost asked if he invests in random people's ideas. You have ideas?

I'm glad you said. He just likes to spend a lot of money. He has a lot of money to spend. And I have an idea. If you were pitching him, what would you pitch him on? Well, I can't say it. I can't say it. My idea is I'm in the process of developing it.

And then I've got to figure out if I should patent it. It does not exist. Let's just say that. In the universe it doesn't exist. Well, variations of it do, but not this version. And I'm sewing it. There are so many times I have this idea. I'm like, you know, it'll be a great idea.

Then I Google it. I know. I know. That's what I thought about my mosquito patches. I thought this was going to be brilliant. Just like a pimple patch, you pop it on top of a mosquito. They already have them. Once I Googled it, I was like, well, these patches already exist.

And I'm like, dang it. I really thought I was on to something with that. This, I have Googled a, there is something very similar that exists, but I am going to take it to the next level. Okay. Mine's more of a hybrid of some stuff, and that's why I have to sew.

Okay. I got you. And there will be, and maybe a little, maybe a little. Yeah, I kind of know. You have no idea what it is. Are you sure you haven't talked about it before? I don't think I've ever, have I? I think you have.

The name, the name is so cute to me. So I almost asked John Morgan Because he's like clearly loves to just He has got money to spend I want to be like hey You like to take a shot on random radio people you're interviewing with They have an idea

Bobby I'll give you a prototype You can tell me what it is in text I'll tell you later I'm not gonna It's too far to hard to text That's probably what it is right yeah Wait what? Eddie said that it's probably pretty weighted vests.

No, I already thought of that. Oh, that's not it? It exists. I already had designed, in my head, had designed this whole, like, why do weighted vests have to be so embarrassing? And it's the weight of it. And I thought maybe I could design it into a sports brawl somehow, so it's more sneaky.

But there's these cute vests that already exists, and they are actually kind of cute, but they're very expensive. And I see why they're expensive, because they're expensive to make that way. So you're wrong. It's nothing to do with a way to invest. Yeah.

No, no, no. Actually, good guess. It's just not right. Well, if you don't want to tell us, we'll move off that. Well, when I was, I was just trying to say, why, do you want to invest? I don't know what it is. Why would I give money blindly? I can't, I have to tell you later.

Oh, there's a concept that I had for a video podcast call, and I just looked it up now to see if it existed anywhere. And it doesn't exist anywhere on the podcast space. but I thought having a video podcast called board games, but B-O-R-E-D. And it makes you so bored at, you fall in. No, no, you play games with like people and interview them, but you call it board games instead of B-O-A-R-D, just a twist in that. So like Megan Roney, but we played Connect 4. Because people love to watch people do stuff.

I mean, that's how hot ones. Yeah. So, but I thought the name was interesting. And nobody has it for that, but there's a movie called that. There's a movie called board games. B-O-R-E-D. Yeah. A horror thriller about three couples trapped in an underground bunker during an apocalypse where dwindling food supplies insanity lead to desperate struggle for survival as the rules of their

board game breaks down. Sounds like your favorite movie. It only got a 3.4 out of 10. Do you know this movie, Mike? It's a 2B original. It is? Yeah. I still think that's a pretty interesting concept to play games with people as part of an interview,

video podcast. And board games is kind of... No, I just reminded me to look at that. But I've looked up stuff before I'm going, I got perfect idea. I've never even seen this. And somebody's going to get into it. It is kind of cool, though, to me to think that, wow, somebody in another, like, wherever it is, like they started this company in Washington. I was like, that's so cool.

Somebody in Washington had that same idea. Okay. I wish they didn't. Yeah, I know. I really wish whoever thought in the mosquito patch hadn't. I was ready to start banking on those. Do you try one of Amy's workouts? Yeah.

What? Yeah, the trampoline one. Oh, got it. That's what you meant by that. Yeah, yeah, I can't do. That's different. It's a very different. Different trampoline.

Very different. And I felt like I wasn't really even breaking a sweat because the jumps are so like. Yeah, boing. Boing. But my back started hurting. If you walk over here, you'll see what it is. The little, it's the little mini ones. Yeah.

Amy's irritated. More golf because I have nothing to do with this. No, Eddie and Scoobo were talking about how y'all are all going to go golfing. And Eddie's like, sweet, win. these are the dates and you're just like, yeah, and it's like work. No, work with the client. And I was like, why don't, where's our work with a client? Like a spa day.

That would be so awesome if I could go to the spa for work with a client. Because that's what y'all are doing when y'all go to Palm Beach or wherever to play golf with a client for work. Someone's hating it. I think it's, I think that's unfair. Gosh, Amy. No, no, this is all, man, not just y'all. No, you literally brought up where we're going.

So you're talking about us specifically. Nobody knows that's exactly. I could have said, Amy, are you talking about us right now? Caracas, Venezuela. Are you talking about Palm Beach specifically? I'm talking about y'all golfing. So this is what happened.

I get a message from the president of our syndication company saying there is a massive client event happening in Palm Beach. There is a big client that wants to come on the show that's going to be playing down there that is asked. that you come and play. And it's also our CFO. It's a really, it's a really nice club.

And I was like, I don't want to go by myself. Wait, that's what happened? You made it seem like they asked us. Well, no, no, I said, I told you, I just got golf pants. You can't go, here's what, no, just because you have golf pants.

Everybody's good. And I'm not, I haven't played golf at all in months and months. So what sucks is I got to start playing a little bit to try to get better. I have no interest really in playing golf right now at all. But you can't, go out on one of these and be kind of bad because it's embarrassing.

I'm talking about me, not even you. You're playing at these really nice golf clubs with these people that are really good and you're trying to like talk. If you're bad, it's just embarrassing for everybody. And so I said, yeah, I'm in. If you need me to talk to a client, I'm in. I said, do they just want me or can someone else? And they were like, well, if Eddie can

come with you, that would be great. Oh, they said that? Yes. Okay, good, good. They didn't. They did. They did not say that. Really? No, they did. It was Julie. It was Julie. so she did. She said that lunchbox. Okay. Do I have to come alone?

Yeah, yeah. That was the initial conversation. And then she said, if Eddie can come, that would be great. I said, Eddie will come. And then she said, and if Amy would like to come to the spa at the club. There was no spa. And we're not staying at the club. Amy, you have this whole thing built in your head.

Like, it's not what you're thinking. Yeah, no, I know what it is. Men do business on the golf course and I need to learn golf. It is what it is. If I was awesome at golf, I'd get invited. I agree. It's not a male-female thing. Right.

But male, y'all just have more opportunities for golf. You have the exact amount of opportunities in life. Yeah, now I'm mad at my parents for not putting me in golf. I never played golf growing up. I worked on a golf course, never got to play the course. Yeah, well. Don't well me. My dad found a stolen bag of clubs.

That's how I started playing. Okay. You literally, you'd probably get invited more than next. I know. Whoa, whoa, they may not want Amy. They said they wanted me. They did say that, but I'm saying they'd want, if Amy played, I think they'd want Amy just based on hierarchy. Especially with my pants. Amy, stop it with your pants. She's dying to wear these pants. Amy, Amy, why don't you? I'm going to show you all my pants y'all and they're like, those are so cute. Amy, hear me out. Why don't you start like a new thing?

Where I've got it off. I know. It takes time. And, what do you call it? Who are we? Palm Beach? No, okay. So, like, the two people, like, the two people, like, like instead of a golf course, you guys go get your nails done. Yeah, but clients aren't going to do that. Business deals don't get done at the nail salon. They get done on the golf course. Culture has said that. Yes, but I can't.

Culture changes to evolution, not revolution. So by the time you end up trying to change a culture, it's 50 years down the road. Yeah, I need to join in on the ball. If you want to be a part of it, you have to. And you all have told me this before, so this is on me. And it's also about who has like good communication skills with like clients. That would be me.

As do I. But you don't play off. Right. I did not pursue this. I wish they would come here and we could just play like my club. That would be nice. But because they're having this big event with a bunch of the biggest sponsors, please come down.

So that's what we're going to do. I didn't know you heard. I didn't know you're a hater. I wasn't totally hating. Anyway. I was just saying like, wow, must be nice. I still think you can change the culture for the next generation. I don't want to change the culture.

I just need to, I'm mad at myself because I've, I've tried to learn golf and then I give up. So that's on me. Even if you learn golf, it's still hard and you want to give up. I want to give up all the time when I play. Oh, yeah. But if you played, you could probably be invited to this stuff. Yeah.

That's on me. With your pants. With my pants. Think of all the pants you'd have at that point. You'd have a lot of new cool pants. Not just one pair. I promise you, the pants are cool. We believe you.

Age 47 is the peak of happiness. Oh, wow. So I'm supposed to be happy right now? Happiest, the peak. You would be happier if your testosterone was higher. No, no. The midlife crisis might be real. Research shows around age 47 is when people are, uh, why, 47 is the age you hit peak happiness. Yeah, no.

But then it says research shows around age 47 is when people are least happy before things start to improve again. That's weird. Yeah, the headline doesn't match the story, really. Scientists have found a U-shaped happiness curve. People are happier when they're young and old. but there's a dip in midlife. The lowest point of happiness typically hits around 47.

This pattern shows up globally even when you factor in things like income relationships and education. Experts say midlife can bring stress, unmet expectations, and major life pressures. Okay, so there's just a typo in the headline. So Eddie, you're right where you're supposed to be.

There's an up curve coming. So this is the low point. Yeah, the headlines will. I feel it for sure. After this period, people tend to become happier again as they age. researchers believe this rebound may come from adjusted expectations, greater acceptance, and life perspective.

If you're feeling off in your 40s, don't feel alone. Yeah. You know what my wife told me? From Daily Mail. What? Man, and I was like, it kind of like ruined my whole day where I had to just kind of think about this. She said, I don't think we're fun anymore.

And I was like, oh, that is so sad. Like, because I'm always fun. Like, I love to have fun. But I think she's right. Like, we're so in the trenches right now. with four boys and they're all still living at home, like that, yeah, I don't think I'm having fun in my life. And I'm really, I'm definitely at the lowest of my happiness.

And when you go to Palm Beach, it'll be fun. Yeah, and to Palm Beach will be fun. But see, here's my thinking of that, right? Like, I have a bunch of little things that I do throughout the year of just like, ooh, I'm going to look forward to this. I'm going to look forward to that mark. But now before I even look forward to it, I'm like, it's only going to last for two days.

And then I'm going to be back to where I am. Oh, my gosh. Seriously. I think that's your testosterone. I'm not joking. I know we're making a lot of testosterone jokes. You are. It really could be that.

It really could be that. As simple as that. That's why you need to go get help. Like my wife's like, oh, we're going to get a cabin in the woods. Great. But then on Sunday, I'm going to come right back to this. Wow.

So yeah. Hey, that thing's spot on. 47, man. You're at the lowest. But happy, happy times. It's coming. It's coming. I feel like it is coming.

Sugar on spaghetti. is a thing I didn't know about. Yes, I saw a girl post about it, and she said she grew up doing it. And I thought, okay, I made spaghetti with meat sauce. I'm going to try this. I used, do you know monk fruit sugar? It's like, so I sprinkled some of that.

Not too much. You just do a little sprinkle on top. Mixed it in. It was delicious. And I was like, have we been missing out on this our whole lives? Like she acted like it was very normal where she grew up sugar on spaghetti. like red sauce, pasta, and then meat.

So Buddy the elf, he puts syrup on that, remember? Yeah, but that was just like no red sauce. And an ingredient in marinera, there's sugar in there, but this is just adding like a little extra, because the acidity from the tomatoes, like there's something about it. It was, I could see if you add too much, it could be problematic, but if you put just the right amount,

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think I would have even tried it. Oh, I wouldn't have either. but the internet makes you. Does it say use monk fruit? No, that's just what I chose to use because I thought, I don't want to add just straight.

Like if I'm going to eat sugar like that, it's going to be a cookie. I'm not going to... Yeah, good point. There's some, Kayla made some really great sugar cookies. Just straight sugar cookies. I saw the bag that the... Mix?

Yeah, mix. Was then it said banana sugar cookies and I think she was using old, like old bananas. Is that what happens? Sometimes there's mixes and all you have to do is it's like, put this in a bowl with a tablespoon of water and two bananas and then bake. They're so good. And I didn't think the banana part of the sugar cookie would be good is so good.

And I can't do dairy, so whatever. There's a lot of milk so. I just don't, maybe I'm so out of the milk game. I don't think people would notice. Notice what? That's not real like cow milk. Yeah. Because I'm very much out of the game.

though, what's it? What's the wife saying here? What are the chances? She's like, does anybody want cookies? Yeah. We do. And a burrito. Just kidding.

Inside joke. What? No, she's making the burrito joke. Eddie goes, we want a cookie. I said, and a burrito. And then I said inside joke. All right. Why don't we get over to the John Morgan interview?

You guys want to do that? Yes. All right, here he is. The great John Morgan. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart. IR. Radio, Canada's number one streaming app for radio and podcasts, including IHart Pride Canada, your favorite hits and must have party bangers,

I was terrified. There was no anything inside those eyes. They turned black. It scared the hell out of me. That was your first murder case? Yes, sir. Fair to say this was the biggest case of your career? Yes, sir.

Rape a murder for a child. She's as bad as it gets. I would think so. People wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder. Take place by Creveit and DePippo. Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum.

The billboard outside of my house now with your face on it, Mr. Morgan. How are you?

Very good. Good morning. All the billboards are you, like I think I saw one of you as a fighter and one of you do you get to pick your creative as what they have you up on the billboard? I get to approve my creative. I get to suggest some of my creative, but I have some people in Brooklyn who work on it who sometimes smoke a little bit too much weed and I get stuff I'm not able to use, but they would love to use. If you could ever see the outtakes or the clips that they would like me to do,

you'd really have fun. You have a book called Life is Luck, Lessons from a Paperboy and How to Improve Your Luck. So life is luck. I don't know. I feel like you've worked pretty hard. Why so much on the luck side of it? Well, here's what happened. Last couple, I don't know, months ago,

months and months ago, Forbes magazine had me on the cover as one of the 700 or so odd billionaires in the country. And it was a stunning thing to look at because you're so busy climbing, you're not really counting, and then all of a sudden there it is. And so I then started thinking back about everything, everything I have done to get to where I am. And when I did that look back in the rearview mirror, what I saw were a thousand left turns, a thousand right turns, a thousand U-turns, and a lot of time it was just flipping a coin or my gut. And then you end up here.

And what I saw was a lot of luck. Now, everybody hates to be told they're lucky. The more successful you are, the last thing you want to hear is that you're lucky. Like if somebody were to tell you, you're lucky to be this great, big, huge DJ in America with shows everywhere, you'd push back hard because you know what it took for you to get here.

You know all the pitfalls and all the detours. But when I looked at it, I saw luck. I saw, but I saw three types of luck. pure luck that's just you know catching lightning in a bottle planned luck that's ben franklin with a kite up in the sky looking for electricity and then there's practiced luck the more you do the better you get and so when i did that look back and those three forms of luck i thought it would be worth sharing because I believe that luck can be found if you're looking for luck. And so it's kind of a how-to book.

Now, one of the things I say about my luck is, and I've been a lot of people listen to your shows, I was a paper boy. I was lucky enough to be built, born with an entrepreneurial seed. being a paper boy or paper girl is a murderous job you're up every day seven days a week rain sleet snow and so i started with that that thought the paper boy and then i went on from there and through my book it's not my life story it's stories from my life where luck pure luck planned luck and practice luck came to play, and the book, hopefully, is a way for the reader to improve their luck and thus their success. So it had to be, if I'm going to put motivation behind this, you wanting to give

something back, because again, you're a billionaire. You didn't need the money for a book deal, right? No, I didn't. I wanted to, I've written two books before this called You Can't Teach Hungary and You Can't Teach Vision. And, you know, when you get stuff up in your head, you either got to get it out or leave it in, and I have always found it's better to get it out, whether it's my businesses. Look, I had an idea years ago to build an attraction that was turned upside down,

and I couldn't get it out of my head. And finally, I just went ahead and built one, and it's called Wonderworks in Orlando, Florida, and I've got six of them across America and getting ready to build a seventh. So for me, it was giving back showing people what I have learned because when you read my book, you're going to read in my book about a lot of books that I relied on in my climb to where I am today.

And so I reference and thank all those authors for what they gave me in their great books. Whenever you have as much money as someone like yourself, you specifically, is there like one username and password that you can put in and see all your money? money? Yeah. Like you said it consolidates everything into like a like a pie graph. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How's that word? It works well. And, you know, I get to see every drop of interest I make on every single day. So the thing keeps going up, up, up, up, up, up. If you're not going up, you're going down. So you put in your yours name of password. Do you need like a

retina scan or fingerprint too because you don't want someone to have your information you can just log in every day huh i can and i and i do a lot but not as much as you would think not as much as my son matt does i mean he's he's he's over there logging in all the all the days like chimp empire just over there just click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click and uh he's a counter is that the son that you fired uh no i didn't fire him i wanted to many times because he would go surfing instead of going to work. But the one I fired was Dan, who turned out to be okay. But he's the one that had to go to work at Firehouse Subs.

Why did you fire your own son? I fired Dan because he was working at Wonderworks, and he was going off to lunch and taking like two-hour lunches, two-and-a-half-hour lunches, and he wouldn't do what the manager said. And so I said to Dan, I said, look, you know, you're a problem for our business. And here's the deal, Dan. You can go to school and go look for a job.

And if you don't find a job, you can just go to your room. And he got a job in Boston Market that they were going to make him cooking turkeys or ham. He was so well received there that they never let him out of the job. the dishwasher room, so he quit like four days later. I said, Dan, think about that. They think so highly of you that you're at the bottom rung of Boston Market. I said, that's telling me I fired the right guy. I said, now what you need to do is go get another job. And he got a job at Firehouse Subs, became one of the great submakers of all time, learned his lesson, and to this day works his arse off. How hard was it for you as somebody who grew up with not a lot and you had to

work hard to have kids who then had money because their dad had money? Like how did you instill those values on them so they appreciated it? Well, it's a problem in many respects. You know, when I go to, when I would travel on vacations, they traveled with me. So they're, you know, they're getting that lifestyle. But what I did, I did a lot of things. One, I made them pay for their own insurance. Two, they didn't have to buy a car, but they didn't get much of a good car. I mean, I think Mike's first car was a 10-year-old Previa van. And I never, these parents who want to show off their own wealth through their children

and the kids showing up with BMWs and Mercedes in the parking lot, I think is gross. I think is gross. Plus, you know a 16-year-old's going to damage the car, so let's damage a 10-year-old navigator or explorer. And then I made them work. I remember one Christmas they came home, and I said, if you two guys got your work schedule at Wonderworks for Christmas, and Mike said, Daddy, nobody at Bishop Moore is working over Christmas.

I said, that can't be true, Mike. And then Matt said, no, Daddy, nobody's working over. he was a ninth grass. He goes, nobody's working. I said, I know that's not true because you two are working. And here's the good news. You can pick your 40 hours because I own the place. You can work from 8 to 5, 12 to 9, 5 to 2, but you two are working.

I made them work. What do you think the biggest myth is about personal injury lawyers? The myth is that they're ambulance chasers that were out there, you know, looking for accidents. We don't need to look for accidents. There's enough negligence in this world. The people who call, who say, you know, ambulance chasers are the people who are usually the insurance industry with propaganda.

The funny, and they say they're talking about frivolous lawsuits. Well, let me tell you something. It's frivolous until it's you. It's frivolous until your leg was cut off by mistake. It's frivolous until the doctor killed your father. It's frivolous until a semi-truck blows through a red light and smashes your car. We only take about 8 to 9% of all the calls that come in. We don't have the money to chase BS cases.

And if they were BS cases, you know, go to 4theple.com and look at the last offer they made us and look at our verdicts. and you'll see us not. But it's all by the insurance industry. And then they try to trick the people. They say, hey, these billboard TV lawyers are raising your insurance rates. We need to have tort reform, which takes away people's rights for the insurance industry. And the promise is your rates are going to go down. Well, I ask every single person listening all over America today, have your rates ever, ever

gone down, no. It's the big lie. If there was a law that you could change, it could be about this specifically or something else that you deal with a lot. Like what do you feel like is fundamentally like the most wrong law that you would change right now? There's a lot of laws. I mean, there's been tort reform going on since Christ was a baby and it's been a, you know, tearing down. But the one thing that I would change, I would make because, and this would benefit society, I would, I would, would make it mandatory to have bodily injury insurance. I would raise the level of coverage

to a mandatory 25 or 50 because 40% of the people out there don't have any insurance. The person gets injured by a negligent driver and who pays the system. Medicare, Medicaid, the system. Who should be paying is the driver. the driver, the negligent driver, the negligent doctor, whoever, that caused the accident. And so I would make the limits mandatory and I would raise the amount of coverage so that

we don't have to tap into our social net savings type thing with Medicare, Medicaid, or just a hospital who never gets paid. Okay. And then that, go ahead. Mr. Morgan, I went to Forthepeople.com like you just said and started scrolling through some recent cases. And there's one where y'all got the client 455 times the insurance offer. So the insurance company was offering this person $70,000 after a concrete truck ran a stop sign

and crashed into her car and she suffered lasting back and ankle injuries. Okay. And then Morgan Morgan, y'all got her over $31 million. $31 million and the insurance was offering $70,000. That's crazy. Exactly. And then what the insurance company does, whether it's your health insurance, whether it's your homeowner's insurance, whether it's a third party,

deny, delay, defend, drag it out as long as they can, try to get the float on it. Meanwhile, that law firm who got the verdict handed to them, they're billing the whole time, the whole time. But a jury got it right. They figured out what it was. And the reason you get these big verdicts sometimes is the insurance companies come in there telling the jury something that's just not true,

being absolutely unsympathetic and juries get mad and they get these big verdicts. So there are some law firms who just take the last best offer. We're on 150 dockets a week in America. We got a verdict three weeks ago for $650 million for a quadriplegic who had an accident in a restaurant in Winter Park, Florida, and they were offering us zip. Dang. And then they have to pay $600 million?

Yeah, hopefully. Where do they get that money? Well, insurance. But look, here's the thing. They had opportunities. They had opportunity after opportunity after opportunity. But in that particular case, they come in, They infuriate the jury because they were trying to put the blame on the man with the quadriplegia.

What was his fault? These stairs were like a black mountain in the highest mountain in America. And juries get angry when they come in and start blowing smoke. And so that's what happens. So the book is out. Life is luck. Lessons from a Paperboy and how to improve your luck. One selfish question that I would like to ask is,

do you still own the O.J. Simpson Bronco? Yes, I do. And what I would like to tell you is located down in one of my attractions called Alcatraz East in Pigeon Forge. And anytime you want to go with your staff, I want to take you down there on me, and then you go down the street to Wonderworks, and then you go back down the street to my restaurant called downtown Flavortown.

The Smoky Mountains is one of the most beautiful places in the world for vacation, and you and your crew have tickets free for life. Oh, nice. Yeah, we got lifetime tickets. Downtown Flavortown. What did that Bronco cost? Did you buy it like an auction, like a bid, like a chair, like a whatever? I rented it for a while.

And then they wanted to sell it to me. And I paid probably three times more than I should have. And I'd been paying a lease for a long time. But to me, to me, that attraction does very well. I have all sorts of, I mean, you won't believe. I mean, I got Ted Bundy's VW. I got Murdox, I got Murdox, I got Murdox golf cart. I got John Bonnet's bicycle.

I got Bonnie and Clyde Death Car from the movie. I got Dillinger's sedan. I got John Gacy's clown suits. You would not believe everything. Does that feel a little weird? Yes, but I'll tell you what else is weird. Crime and punishment, America's obsessed with it. You go to a movie.

You watch a TV show. You go to Netflix. Crime and punishment, crime and punishment, crime and punishment. So the paper boy started thinking, I went to Alcatraz one time. I go, you couldn't get in. You couldn't get into Alcatraz, sold out for the week. You pull out $100 bill, you go in. But when I went in there, I was like, my God, America is obsessed with crime and punishment.

So I built it. It looks, if you look at Alcatraz East, it looks like a prison. And it prints money. because of America's fascination, weirdly or not, with crime and punishment. It prints money. Got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we watch all the documentaries.

And, I mean, we feel weird watching it. And you feel weird liking it. Or sometimes we'll watch something and then we rate it. And then it feels weird giving it a rating because it's like so tragic. But you're like, well, five out of five. You're right. And how about this? Why are we, first of all, we make people, we got, I got a bunch of wild

West, you know, people's guns and stuff. We love Billy the Kid. We love Jesse James. We love Bonnie and Clyde. They're murderers. But all of a sudden, in America, we got them up, you know, it's Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as Bonnie and Clyde. And it's an obsession.

We have an obsession with serial killers. Why? I don't know. Just because the fact that we have those monsters amongst us. I'll tell you a funny story, not funny, but interesting. Before I went to law school, I sold Yellow Pages, and I took a two-month break before I went to law school.

I went to every single day of the Ted Bundy trial where he was accused of killing this little girl named Kimberly Diane Leach. And at the end of the day, I used to go across the street to this hotel bar called the monkey bar and have drinks with Ted Bundy's girlfriend. And he married her one day during the trial. And I was there for that. And I was there, I was there for the day he was sentenced to death. And you talk about, you mean, this guy, I could study this guy forever and ever and

ever, because he's a type of guy, he's a law student. He's the type of guy that walks in your house, dating your daughter, and you're like, this is a great thing for our family. This is Ted Bundy. Wow. And then he ended up being a psychopath. Yeah, serial killer. They all are.

Have you been watching that guy up in Long Island? I mean, the guy in Long Island that, you know, that evidently killed them all in his house. But we are just fascinated as a country. Look, how many CSI spinoffs are there? I don't know. But when you look at the top TV shows and movies, you know what else I have?

Do you ever see the movie when he says say hello to my little friend, Al Pacino? Scarface. Scarface. I own my little friend. I bought that for $18,000. And that movie, you know, they, Hollywood makes these villains heroes. You know, we find ourselves pulling for Scarface.

We found ourselves pulling for, you know, in narco. I don't know if you all saw the narcos stuff on the Mexican cartels, but there is a fascination with it. And so what I decided to do was to give America what it wanted, which was an attraction. The only other one was Alcatraz itself. Have thought about buying that? Well, Donald Trump says he's going to reopen it and make it a prison.

Have you ever been to Alcatraz? I have, yeah. I've never been in it. I've been buying on the boat. Yeah, it wasn't sold out when I went. and you get the headset and then you listen and you hear about all the crazy stories. Did you see the cell where the bird man of Alcatraz lived and Al Capone's cell? And the guy who jumped off and supposedly made it back to shore,

the waters are freezing. I don't think anybody can escape from Alcatraz. But there's one guy who disappeared and they never found his body. Wow. Crazy. Do you, you said you bought that, the say hello to my little friend for 18,000, which I get when you're buying something like that, you probably pay attention to the price tag. But like in just everyday life, do you even, I mean, do you even look at, like if you're going shopping for clothes,

or you're like, I like that shirt, or do you look at the price tag and you're like, oh, $80. You know what? This is a funny thing. The other day I was in my closet and I thought to myself, I've got so many clothes. I might, and at my age, I might never buy. another stitch of clothing. I look around like I got all the shorts I need. I got all the t-shirts. I live in Hawaii in the wintertime and we just wear bathing suits and t-shirts and flip-flops.

So I don't spend hardly any money on clothing because I don't need anymore. But I don't really look. I will say this, the other day I was in a grocery store, and this woman comes to me, says, my God, what are you doing here? I go, what are you talking about?

She said, you're doing your, your own shopping. And I was like, yeah. But then I started looking around after that, you know, there's a lot of people who go to the grocery store and they can only buy so much. They can only buy so much because they're counting their shekels. I have a house in New Hampshire.

We go to the summer and one day I'm standing there and this woman's looking at stakes, this shopping, this place called Marketplace. And she looks at me and she goes, and she throws her meat back down and she goes, They're not giving it away, are they? And I thought to myself how terrible she threw her steak down because of money. And I gave her $100.

And I said, I'm going to give you $100 if you promised me this. She goes, what? I said, buy $100 worth of the stakes. And she did. But it makes me sad that people go to the grocery store and have to not get certain things that they want. because and that's why just recently, last week, I built a new food bank in West Virginia. Both the United States senators showed up to it. There is food insecurity in this country like you'll never know.

In Orlando, we have the Morgan Morgan Hunger Relief Center. And it tears me apart that people, you know, and this is the working poor that go to these food banks. It's not somebody that's just laying in a crack den. These are people who go from the grocery store to the food bank in the most wealthy country in the world. Final question. Do you have a bunker? The only bunker I have is when I take my gummies at night and go to sleep, I feel like I'm in a bunker. I feel like I'm flying over everything.

And I just kind of, I don't need a bunker because I'm flying. So if like the asteroids coming to Earth, you don't have like a bunker you fly to as a billionaire to high? out from everything? No, but I'll tell you, I got friends who do. I got friends who spend a lot of money out. But look, here's the way I look at bunkers. I don't know about you. If we're at that point in time with bunkers,

and if we're at that level of Mad Max where Mel Gibson's on a motorcycle looking like a gladiator, they're going to kick that damn bunker door open and come take me out. So they're going to, you know, how are you going to escape the mad Max in your bumper? That's a good point.
