All of these firms have grown.

So Peter Gruber, one of my partners in business, we did the LAFC together.

He was one of the guys that bought the Dodgers.

In 2012, he paid $2.2 billion for the Dodgers.

And so what happens is I find people, different types of people, that type of person gets excited.

Like I fortunately was around some brilliant people.

Peter Gruber, one of my dearest friends in the world for the last 35 years.

I mean, he is a lifestyle guy.

that's right the whole Star Is Born connection I forgot about that well and that's how we end up with a Streisand theme song at

the opening is that relationship Now, he got interest from Peter Guber at Columbia.

Streisand pulls out around this time because, according to her, the material was too kinky for her.

Right.

And you have to get funding to do so.

You know, I talked about this a little bit earlier, but why we've been successful, the belief that Joe Lacob and Peter Guber have in me and have in in our entire team is astounding, and they've had it from day one.

You know, they ask really hard questions and want you to have a stance, but when you believe and know something's gonna work out, they say yes.

And I think, you know, having the right investors is really, really important, and, um, staying true to your core product is really, really important for the opportunity to expand it elsewhere.

So I've had these experiences.

But give the L.A. Dodgers— You know, Peter Gruber is one of my dearest friends and my partners.

We started the MLS LAFC football club together.

You know, Golden State Warriors, he's one of the big owners there.

Now I own a piece of the team, right? But when I first started out, what was the first sports team I owned was the LAFC.

I have to start that with Peter Guber and our group.

And I had to go through a year's worth of a microscope to be approved.

Tom Penn.

Now you can.

But I'll give you an example.

Peter Guber, one of my dearest friends in the world for the last 35 years, I mean, he is a lifestyle guy.

And like he got me...

What I will tell you is there's not another team that does all of that.

Joe Laker, Peter Guber, Golden State, they fucking crush it.

Like there's not another team that does all of that.

So travel for us is great.

And then it went obsolete when digital TV came out because I couldn't pick it up.

You know, Peter Gruber, who produced this movie, I worked for him one summer at Mandalay Pictures and I got to meet him.

Youngest person to ever run a studio outside of Irvin Thalberg.

Peter was 26 when he was appointed the head of Columbia Pictures.
