[music] >> Several years ago, the family used to travel down to Florida for the holidays. Sometimes we would go down during Yeshiva break, [music] and one year we went down there and we stayed at the Fontainebleau Hotel. This is many, many years ago. We realized that year that we got down there that the environment [music] just wasn't the right environment for the family to be at. So, I went to the hotel manager and the owner of the hotel. I called them and said, "Listen, I need you guys to do me a favor. You guys have [music] 10 different pools at the [music] 10 different pools at the Fontainebleau. I need to take one of these pools for my family because we come to the pool dressed nude and everything." They looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Do you know how much money we're going to generate in revenue from that pool for that couple weeks?" And they gave me an exorbitant number, but we had no choice. So, I said, "Okay, I'll pay you that amount on one condition. I'm going to bring a landscape company here tonight [music] and I'm going to landscape around the pool. I'm going to put trees all the way around the pool so that nobody could see into the pool [music] and nobody could see out of the pool. And then I'm going to landscape a pathway to the door at the Sorrento
