And I was in Boston Logan with my daughter and my wife, and we're getting on a flight. I went to the washroom; he was on my right. You, you're sitting at the, you're standing at the urinal. He kept looking at me, kept looking at me. I'll never forget this.

And he finally said, "Are you that guy on Shark Tank?" I said, "Yeah, I am that guy on Shark Tank." Like, no one had ever recognized me or ever said anything about Shark Tank to me because, in the early years, nobody was watching it. The cat and the dog were watching it.

He said, "Last night you really screwed over some young entrepreneur. You took 51% of his business on his first round of financing. That's totally unfair." And I said, "Wait a minute, it's my money; I'll do whatever I want."

And we got into this big narrative in the can, and I said, "Gee, a lot of deals get done in toilets, but not today. I'm going to, you know, I thank you for your input, but I don't care." And then he walks outside and says to my wife, Linda, "That Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank's in the can." And she says, "I know."
