E
What's up, guys? Welcome back to Views. It's the day before Coach. It's actually the day of Coachella and I am home.
D
Very sad. We're at a sad. Let's have a moment of silence for David Doberik, who will not.
E
David is not attending Coachella this year.
F
What?
E
Yeah. So you won't see my outfits.
D
Did you have some good ones?
E
Yes. I had a lot of young la shorts and T shirts to buy and
D
that big butt of yours and looking good. And you probably had a durag that would hang in front of your mouth
E
to block the dust.
D
Colorful do rag.
E
So we got back from Bali, I was fine, and then I got really sick for one day after we played imposter with John. Do you remember? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, I'm feeling sick.
G
Yeah, you did.
E
And then I had the worst sore throat for the entire day. And then it went away. Like, went away almost completely. And then everything came back the next day like a surprise.
D
Describe your symptoms.
E
Just a little bit of. A little bit of this and that, if you know what I mean.
D
Okay.
E
It's just.
D
Cause Taylor said you were sad.
E
I was sad.
D
Yeah. And I was like, is he sick or is he sad?
E
Oh, no, I'm sad. Cause I'm sick.
D
Sad. Cause I'm sick. Okay.
G
Are you sad because you paid for the jet or are you sad?
D
That can make you sad and make anybody sad.
E
Yeah, I didn't pay for the whole jet, but I paid a good amount for the jet to Coachella and, like, obviously I'm not gonna not pay for it.
D
Does it make you upset?
E
And now all My friends were on it and I was really sad that I didn't go.
D
Have you thought about Natalie taking that jet ride with Ali and does it make you upset?
G
No.
E
Cause I don't think Natalie, like, Natalie actually wished she got sick instead of me.
D
She didn't want to go.
E
Natalie's really anti Coachella also. I kind of was until I got sick. And then it was the only thing I've ever wanted in my entire life. Yeah.
G
Well, how.
D
What will Justin Bieber do?
E
Well, I don't know. Whose eyeline is going to be if I'm not there? Like. Yeah, who's he going to look at?
D
Yeah, who's he going to. You're going to be. You would be his home space.
E
No. So we were going to go with these people. This. They're called the on group. This guy runs it, his name is Paul. I have to give him a quick shout out because I feel so bad. Cause they set up everything for us and now I'm not going. And now it's just Natalie and Jonah in replacement of me. Oh, wow. So it's. Yeah. So I feel really bad. But the VYOND group is this really interesting thing and we're gonna do more events with them. Hopefully they don't kick us out because of what I did here, but they basically. So are you with me, Jay?
D
Yeah, no, I left.
E
Oh. So. So you.
D
By the way, David's on the other side of the room right now and he can't see us. We're facing him.
E
We're not looking at each other.
D
Yeah, he's. We're facing him the other direction. Just in case we get Bali Belly.
E
I know where he is. It's Cali Bali.
D
Yeah, I've got Cali Belly.
E
Listen, so the group is. Sorry, I'm like trying to get my thoughts here. I'm a little bit weak, but I'm actually doing pretty good.
D
Doing great.
E
So there are. It's. He has this program, it's called the VYOND program. Basically, if you're like a really affluent or wealthy 20 to 30 year old, most likely you're blowing your money on drugs and nightclubs and stupid things. But he creates experiences for people like that are young, that you pay this membership and then you pay per. Per trip, you pay a little extra and he curates the trip for you. So he'll set up the house, the travel, the meals, the activities with like 15 other like minded people. It's really, really interesting and I've seen it online and I've been in Meijer from far away. And I reached out and I was like, can we be part of this? And he's like, hop in.
D
Wow.
E
And we did it. Except we didn't. Because I'm here.
D
Oh, my God.
E
I am beyond beyond.
G
It's really funny.
D
Yeah.
E
But that's it. I don't know. Other than that, like, I haven't hit. I'm about to hit. Not interested on my Coachella Tiktoks.
D
How many years in a row did you go to Coachella?
E
I've been there four or five years, I think.
D
Wow.
E
And I'm, like, really upset because this is a big one, right? This is B. Rochella. I feel like a lot of people are coming out of the woodworks for this one.
D
Yeah.
E
This is like, you gotta be there.
D
There's some nostalgia involved with Justin Bieber, right. For people your age.
E
You gotta think about it. I could play him in the car.
D
And I think, you're not going in the car, guy. You're going right back to bed.
E
I'm gonna. Yeah, well, I'm gonna play him in my room. I didn't have the energy to put on a show yesterday. I was looking for the remote, and I was like, I can't do it. And I just stopped. TikTok has been my best friend, but what's new with you guys?
D
I went and looked at colleges last week.
E
Oh, that would make me sick.
D
I went with the beyond group.
E
Okay.
D
Yeah.
E
Probably the same price.
D
Yeah, probably. Yeah, about the same price.
E
Wait, who did you go with?
D
Who did I go with? I went with Charlie.
E
Oh, nice.
D
My daughter.
E
Yeah.
D
Yeah. And very, very expensive. You know, there was one school I. That I got in when I was a kid, but I didn't. I couldn't afford it, so I didn't look at it. So for all my life, I was like, man, I wish I had gone to Emerson College. Wish I'd gone. And then I went and saw it, and I was like, nah, this place stinks.
E
Oh, that's amazing.
D
And it. So it released this whole thing in me. Like, oh, I didn't miss out on anything.
E
Do you have any regrets in life? Like, regrets that you couldn't. I'm not saying, like, like, you got into a car accident. Like, obviously, that's a regret, but you can't change an accident.
D
Sure.
E
Do you have any regrets in life? That's like, yeah, I should have.
D
Every day. Every day I regret, you know, what I eat.
E
Wait, actually, yeah, of course.
D
I mean, I just go ham when I eat.
E
John, do you have regrets?
G
Fuck, no.
E
I think so, too.
G
I like. I, like, miss it. I'm like, damn, that was a good meal.
D
Really? You're like, I should have went harder.
E
No, John, I'm saying in general, do you have, like, a regret where you're like, I should have stayed in Vernon, hells or I shouldn't have done the Zeala transformation with Ilya, because I'm right back to where I started.
G
Speaking of Zealot transformation, you know, Ilya gave me a talk. Me and Julia. He wants me and Julia to do, like, a couple's transformation.
D
Nice.
E
Yeah.
D
Are you going to do it?
G
Well, I was going to bring it up with my other boss first. Before I do anything.
D
Let's have that conversation here.
E
Okay, so what do you want to do? Tell me again. You want to do another transformation? So Ilya wants to be your third time doing one for him. Third?
D
Really?
G
Third. Whoa.
D
What happened on the second one?
E
Well, he. The second one, he just. He just changed what he needed to do for his videos. Yeah. So he's like, yeah, you don't need to do it anymore.
D
And how did you feel, John, when that happened? What were you relieved for the second one? Yeah. When he said, you don't have to do it anymore?
G
No, no, no. I don't know. I didn't. It was, like, not too much pressure, honestly.
E
Do you want to do this? Do you want to do it again?
G
Honestly? If Julia's down, I'll do it.
E
You know, I feel like you and Julia kind of tried doing it, and then, like, I remember there were moments where you guys were both sitting on the couch, and you guys would take turns on who would nag who for going to the gym to walk on the treadmill.
D
Play it out, Dave. Can you act it out for me?
E
I just. Listen, Jay, I know you want to be goofy about this, but this is no time to be funny.
D
Oh, well, why is there just John in trouble?
E
I've had enough.
D
You've had enough of what?
E
I've had enough of them.
D
Of Julia and John. You've had enough of your life?
E
I've had enough of Julia and John getting into shape.
D
Oh.
E
I mean, I stand firmly on the other side. There is no happier John and Julia than them going to get any meal under the sun.
D
Oh, yeah.
E
Julia bakes.
D
Oh, yeah.
E
At least once a week.
D
Oh, John and Julia bakes.
E
Julia looks on TikTok for new food places at least twice a week. John, we'll find a new Korean barbecue spot once a day. It really is quite remarkable. The progress they make in la. And I would. And I would hate to see that go to waste. All that talent, you know?
G
You know, I wish I had one of those boards, you know? You know, it shows off, like, you
E
cross all the countries you've been to.
D
Yeah.
G
What country? Except as for me, it's for, like, what restaurants I've been to in la. It probably peppered the entire fucking LA county, you know?
E
It'd be cool. John, what if you had a map of LA county and every restaurant you ate at, you took a toothpick and you stuck it in the map. That's a cool way to know.
G
That's a good one.
E
Where you've been. Yeah.
D
Yeah.
E
But a lot of places don't have toothpicks, so.
D
Hey, Dave, do you think you could premiere John's Coffee Company at your birthday party? Let him have a cart there.
E
Okay. What does he want to do? Explain it.
D
Well, we had an idea, John and I, Me and you. Didn't we? I thought we had an idea when you were doing the chairs. Oh, my God, David. The funniest thing I told Naveen, who's here, by the way. The funniest thing you said the other day was you were arguing with Natalie and Ferris and then about something. It was, like, pretty tense. And then you looked outside and you just saw John fixing the chairs.
E
Oh. And I was like, I want that life.
D
Yeah. And then you go, the funny thing is he could work on that for the next six months and no one would say anything.
E
Okay. So I recently found out that to. To. What are you doing, John? Sanding the staining and staining. To sand the outdoor furniture. It's gonna be about $8,000. So I was like, what better time to use John as an employee? So he got to it. He's been working on it for about two weeks, on and off.
G
Yeah, it's been about.
D
Yeah.
E
Yeah. I think you're getting close.
G
Yeah. Almost done with one side.
D
But it's so nice, one side of one chair.
E
It's so nice. Cause we'll have, like, these big arg. Like in the living room and we'll all. I could catch everyone's eye looking at John from time to time. And I know everyone's having the same thought.
D
What does that guy do?
E
Everyone's having the same thought. And he's so into it. He'll go to the garage to get, like, a wrench and he'll come back and he'll be holding it so happy. And I know. Time to, like. I know our Job isn't like we're solving, you know, we're solving world hunger or, you know, stopping war. But in comparison to what John's doing outside, it does very much feel like we deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for what's happening in the living room. So, yeah, a lot of times I look at John and I think, could I do that? Yeah. Should I do that? How close am I to doing that? And I say that in. In jealousy.
D
Do I have any rich friends?
E
It's really funny.
D
Their chairs.
G
Yeah, it's really funny. You are the fourth person that has said that to me this week.
E
What have other people said?
G
I was just like, man, how's the job going? I was like, it's good.
E
It's great.
G
I was like, I've shown him my sanding, you know? And they're like, man, what it would take to do your job right now.
E
My favorite part is there was one point where I saw Alex, our other roommate, also helping him sand.
D
Yeah.
E
And then I turned to Taylor, and I was like, what's gone into Alex? That he would help John do his job for free. And then I found out later that John was paying him under the table. John's making too much money where even sanding is beneath him, where he's outsourcing the jobs. Yeah.
G
Well, Alex came up to me and
E
he was like, that looks like fun.
G
No. He was like, yeah, my bank account's getting low. I'm like, do you have a job for me? I'm like, do I have a job for you?
D
You like AC DC and a lot of sun and endless Celsius. It's true, though, Dave. I did come over and I saw the two of them out there, and they would. They had that, like, blue collar high. You know when. You know when you're, like, outside working with your hands and, like. Yeah. You get, like, a little high from the sun. You're listening to music like you're doing gritty work. Yeah. My friend, he used to have a saying. He used to deliver lumber. And I say, how is it? And he goes. He goes, oh, I love it. Makes the beer taste better.
E
Oh, yeah, 100%.
G
Oh, dude, I had a ham sandwich. Like the sandwich, dude, the sandwich that Tay made after standing all day.
D
Tay's making you sandwiches?
G
Dude, when Tay made me this, I don't know what kind of sandwich she makes.
E
Oh, I'm trying to start a business with Tay sandwiches. I'm not even kidding. I think I'm going to start selling her sandwiches. Yeah. Not that I have any Ownership over them. But I think I'm going to like, try to do some sort of like business where we sell five sandwiches a day and they're really expensive. It's obviously cost very little to make, but it's the fact that Tay's making them and she only has so much of love to pour into each sandwich.
D
Right.
E
I feel like that's what you're gonna be paying for. I think five sandwiches a day in the LA area will designate a pickup spot and Taylor will drop him off.
G
I've always said this.
E
I'm thinking 50 bucks a sandwich.
G
Dude, why don't we open a ghost kitchen?
E
Oh my God. Or a pizza shop. Shut the fuck up, Jon.
D
Pizza will never work.
E
It'll never work. That's what they told me. And here I years into the pizza business.
B
So good, so good, so good.

D
How is the pizza shop?
E
It's good. It's really good, actually.
D
Yeah, we saw when I drove by the other night, it was popping really.
E
It's really good during like, it's great when you're trying to decide what place to go to next. Like bar.
D
Yes.
E
That is the place to hang out.
D
Right. As like a little killer killing of time reorganization.
E
So incredibly central in Los Angeles. It is damn near. It's Times Square.
D
It's the most central location.
G
It is the most central location I could. I could think of in Los Angeles.
E
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
D
Yeah.
E
Like in terms of vibe, it's in the middle of all the vibe.
G
Like if you want to go to Barney's beanery, it's like three minutes away. You want to go to, we hope, five minutes, Beverly Hills 10, Comedy Store, 30 seconds.
E
Yeah, you know, I don't love talking about, doric's pizza. Because I just feel so weird like promoting my own products, but, well, it's gotta go. The pizza is actually really good. And I, and I say this all the time. If people didn't know is from a YouTuber, it would crush. It would crush the pepperoni pizza by itself. And especially if we cut into squares. For all you fucking idiot consumers out there, that think square pizza just tastes better because it looks like that. You guys would go fucking balls to the wall. But just because it's cutting triangles, you think it's a. You think it's not as pristine of a product. Listen, it's incredible.
D
What are you going on about over there? People like square pizza better.
G
I don't know where that came from.
E
When things are cut into squares.
D
Yeah.
E
People think it's a high end pizza. I think there's a psychology behind it.
G
That is true.
E
Like a Prince street or. You know what I mean? Every time you see like a nice slice that's thick and in a square, you go, that's nice. Yeah.
G
Oh, I agree.
E
We choose to do things different and that may hurt us, but the pizza is still really incredible. So you really should go try.
D
Yeah. Well, anyways, we want to get John's coffee company going at your birthday.
E
I may throw off any second now. I've really overstayed my welcome in this pod.
D
That's okay. If you throw up, would you want a bucket?
E
No, no, I can't. I can't do that. Don't worry. I gotta stop thinking about it.
D
Well, if you want like a bucket, that might be, you know, a really interesting pod.
E
I can't throw up in front of my friends.
D
Why not?
G
We've literally seen everything, Dave.
E
Literally. Joke. You've seen my asshole. John, are you miss, you're missing Coachella?
G
I don't know, it was hard for me to decide.
E
Have you ever been?
G
Yeah, I've gone like three times now.
E
Wait, what? Yeah. Oh, shit.
G
I went the first time. My very first time with Ilya and Alex.
D
Yeah.
E
Is.
G
I don't know what it was for. Second time I think it was. It was for something also. And the third time was with another friend.
E
So why didn't you go?
G
Because you didn't go. You were my end. This time I went in for. I've gone to Coachella three times for free because of my friends.
E
John, you have the best life on earth. John, what are your top experiences that you've received for free?
G
Oh, that's a good one.
E
Yeah. What are your top three or just they have to be top three. Just the ones that come to mind.
G
I mean, the last one was obviously going to Bali. I mean.
E
Okay. That's one of your favorite spots.
G
Yeah, one of my favorite spots.
E
Dig deeper. Something where you're like, damn, can't believe we're doing this. Like, pickleball. Jamie Foxes. Even that, you know.
A
Oh.
G
I mean. Okay. Also, not just money.
E
Yeah.
G
Not just, like, expensive.
D
No.
E
Like an experience that you got that maybe was just driving down to somebody's
D
house, getting paid three grand to sand some chairs with your best friend.
G
That's a good one. Let me think.
E
Like, I have one.
G
Okay.
E
Like, when I think about you a lot, I don't know why. This one hits harder than anything. It's free electricity. Ooh. Like, for his car.
D
That's nice.
E
I think that's the craziest. Like, whatever. He lives with me. Who gives a fuck? Ilya got him a car. Who gives a fuck?
G
Okay.
E
But on top of those free things, it's the fact that he's powered by free.
D
John Castro, powered by free.
E
It's quite incredible. No, he just, like, plugs it into the wall at the house and then he's on his way. His only overhead is for the education he got in college that he doesn't need.
D
What's your best experience?
E
Mine?
D
Yeah.
E
Thank you. Finally, something about me. One of my favorite things I've ever experienced. You know, I don't like this place, was we went to Aspen on a trip once, and I'm not the biggest Aspen fan, but we had, like, a brand trip. We went with our friends.
D
Yeah.
E
And it was one of my favorite trips ever. Aspen?
G
Really?
E
Yeah.
G
Not Brazil Olympics.
E
Brazil Olympics? Yeah. I mean, that was incredible.
G
I mean, come on.
E
That's got to be, like, for some reason, right? When you asked me what my. One of my favorite experiences was, is that. Is Aspen. We had a really good time, and I think I expected so little of it that it made it really fun. There's something so great about being in a hotel lobby. They had the fireplaces on and everyone's hanging out there, drinking.
D
I've been to Aspen for the comedy festival, and it's so fun.
E
It's like.
D
Yeah, it's a little town and it's really nice.
E
You gotta be prepared for the. For the kind of vibe, though, you
D
know, I'd say mine was getting.
E
Hold on, Jay. I think I'm still on mine.
D
Okay. You got more?
E
No, I'm kidding. Go, go, go.
D
Meeting Tom Brady with my mom.
E
Oh, really?
D
That was just so Huge.
G
Really?
D
Yeah. I mean, he was. He was so nice. That's a big one.
E
Do you think they slept together?
D
They did. You didn't know that?
E
No, I assumed.
D
Yeah.
E
Because there was a moment after the premiere. Tom was leaving Lorraine's room.
D
Yeah.
E
And I don't know if it was to sign autographs or for something else.
D
He was after her chicken soup recipe.
E
That's how he got in, huh?
D
Yeah, that's.
E
You know, I'm not the jealous type, but it was quite demanding.
D
You were so kind that night. Just. You were really nice letting Lorraine crush on Tom, even though you guys have been married and stuff.
E
Yeah. That's the kind of guy.
D
Wonderful.
E
Naveen, what about you? What's your favorite experience? And it has to be particular to Jason Nash. What's something that Jason Nash has brought into your life, other than love, that has changed your life? Oh, what's, like, a moment you had where you were like. Yeah, you know what? This is gonna go down as one of the best.
B
I mean, every moment. I'm probably getting engaged.
D
I like that.
B
Are you talking more like an experience?
E
Your wedding was great.
B
Like, I really had the best experience
E
outside of the library of Santa Barbara.
D
It was great. Cause it was Monday morning and there's plenty of parking. And. Dave, you checked a couple books out when you went.
E
Yeah, it came with the wedding reception.
D
Yeah, he grabbed Diarville. Wimpy kid.
E
No, no. I. You know, I just tease.
D
No, no. We.
G
We.
D
We tried to have a big wedding and it was too expensive.
E
No, no, no. I actually love how you guys did it.
D
Yeah.
E
And honestly, if you're actually in love, that is how you do it.
D
It's a hundred percent.
E
But not to knock bigger weddings. I don't. I don't know, completely subscribe to the idea that a big wedding doesn't mean you're in love. I could see how it would lean towards that, but I don't know.
B
Yeah, I think, like, if someone's family really cares about a big wedding, or if it's, like, a cultural thing, or if it's, like, a girl's, like, dream to have a big wedding, then that's, like, cute, right?
E
Yes. Yeah. It just depends on what the girl wants.
C
Yeah.
E
Hey, I have something to talk about.
D
Okay.
E
So last night, I was really ill. Yeah. Like, really ill. To the point where I was like, I don't want to be on this planet anymore. And I was. And I was also very sad. Because of Coachella.
D
Yeah. Right.
E
So, like, a lot of things were knocking at my Door. And I think I've said it on the podcast, I'm not scared of death whatsoever. But after doing dmt.
D
Yeah.
E
And after that little moment of being in that darkness with those really weird figures, I'm terrified of death. I don't know if this is temporary, but like, it's had me thinking of it of like, the nothingness of it is actually terrifying. And for some reason I didn't think of nothingness as to being scary.
D
Yeah.
E
But when I did DMT with you guys here in the room, although you were here and everyone else was in the living room, that experience was so just me on my own and it was so terrifying because I was just truly by myself. Like none of you could climb into my head and pull me out and it was really scary. And then I was thinking about death yesterday and I was like, actually sounds terrifying.
D
Finally. Yeah, some sense got into you. Finally. Weird. I've been saying this for years with you. Death is scary.
E
I don't know if this is temporary and I also don't know if like me saying death isn't scary was like some like bullish, like 20 year old thing to say. And I'm not saying I've completely changed my mind, but I'm just saying in reference to my DMT experiment, it's terrifying.
D
This is what happens when you get older. You know, you come to grips with your mortality. Yeah, everybody does.
E
What does that mean?
D
Well, you come to grips with the fact that, you know, you could die and, and you have stuff to lose and, you know, maybe when you're younger you're like, I don't give a fuck. I live my life the way I live it. And then you get older and you're like, oh, wait, you know, I have people in my life that love me or.
E
This may sound really vain.
D
Yeah.
E
But when I do die, I would actually love to be buried with my blue Aston Martin.
D
How are we gonna get that, John? That's gonna be your area, I guess.
E
And it's not for any reason. Like, hey, look at how much money I have. It's because I feel like that represented me the most and made me the most happy. Like, obviously I'm not gonna say I wanna be buried with Taylor or Natalie or Ilya. That's sick. So the nearest thing that I could be buried with would be my Aston Martin.
D
You could get a mausoleum. It was just an above ground thing. And have a spot for Il, Nat, Jon and Taylor.
G
That's crazy.
E
Just waiting.
D
They just go in like, you know, lots of couples do that. You know, one will get buried in the mausoleum. Then there's a spot.
E
Could you imagine if John lived with me his whole life and then died next to me?
G
That'd be crazy.
E
John, I'll pay for your funeral. You're like, I'm down.
D
Powered by Free.
G
It's branded already.
E
Before I even get in there. It's branded by Pistix. That's really funny. John gets to heaven. God pulls up all the stats. He's like, john, you actually spent the least amount of money out of all humans. You actually got the furthest on the little, littlest amount.
D
You.
E
He gives you a little award. Little pin says, Powered by Free because he listened to this podcast.
D
It's funny.
E
God's like, I also love views.
D
What. What will you miss most about Coachella?
E
Just the emptiness of like, or the. The feeling of walking around, being surrounded by, like, a thousand people that all, like, have their own destination or have their own thing they're trying to figure out and just, like, walking through it. I think it's so fun.
G
Interesting.
D
Did you see that thing? The dm? I sent you a tick tock about the guy that did DMT too many times and now they won't let him back.
E
Wait, you sent me this? What does that mean?
D
I sent you a tick tock?
E
I didn't click on it. I just saw the title.
D
Basically, the guy's like, so I' done DMT too many times. And so now when I do it, they constantly just kick me out every single time. When it used to be, I'd go there and it would be fine. But now when I go there, they're like, no, you can't be here. Isn't that interesting?
E
Wait, that's crazy.
D
Like, almost there. Like he says, like, there is a world.
E
How many times has he done it?
D
I don't know. A bunch too many.
E
I almost feel like my time to do it again is now.
D
What?
G
No.
E
Yeah, because, like, I'm away from Coachella. Everyone else is having their own drug experience over there. You think DMT land will be pretty filled during Coachella?
G
It's like it's all empty to get there.
D
It is Coachella.
E
I have to have different passes to get through certain places. You have artist, DMT or you just have dip dmt. Artist isn't actually as good.
D
Bieber's about to go on. Join the circle. Oh, you missed the Strokes.
E
There's people that are dead.
D
Yeah, I'm bummed. I'm not seeing the Strokes.
E
Wait, are they playing?
D
Yeah.
E
Really?
G
The Strokes are playing.
D
That's my big band.
G
Wow.
E
One Stroke song.
G
Something about, I don't know.
D
Stroke me.
G
No, dude, I don't know any. Any songs like that.
E
Okay.
G
I just.
E
I just know that song now. If you knew.
G
Yeah, but I like, I. I have a couple.
D
How is Kanye?
G
Kanye was amazing, Jay. Really amazing.
D
But I. See. I had a. I had a thing with him when I went and saw him, and I was talking to Alex about this, it's like, he's not a performer. He's just kind of, like, up there moving around and.
G
Because he's a God.
E
Okay.
G
He literally feels like a God.
D
He's a producer. No, he doesn't. And I love Kanye more than anybody. Like, I play his music all the time. But I wasn't compelled to go to the show, so it's because when I saw him that one time, it was just like. It's just a track in him.
E
You're saying that he doesn't have, like, a Taylor Swift stage presence?
D
Yes. That's all. And nothing against the guy. I fucking love him. I felt a little cheated when I saw it. I was kind of like, oh, it's not Jay.
G
I'm not even joking. That was probably one of, if not the best concert.
D
Yeah. Everyone says. Everyone says. Everyone says Mike was on.
E
I think it's because everybody else around him is so excited.
G
Yeah, right.
E
That he doesn't have to do much.
D
And he does have the hits.
E
His songs are anthems.
G
Jay. He played 40 songs, and I'm pretty sure I knew about 30 of them. 35.
D
Nice.
E
Wait, what?
D
Yeah. Must have felt good.
E
Were they all his.
D
Yeah.
G
Graduation album. All the way to, like, 808. Heartbreak bully.
E
Does he play? I've seen artists play, like, a song that's really popular multiple times. Like, they'll be like, run it back. Yeah, we'll play a song, like, nine times in a row.
D
Well, they. They did N Words in Paris once. Nine times in a row.
E
It's N words in Paris.
G
Yeah, it's Neighbors in Paris. You know the song?
E
No. I need the full yeah. Title ball so hard.
D
There you go, John.
G
Neighbors would love me.
E
I don't even know if that's the. Right.

Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop. I'm addicted.

E
All right, here we go. I'm gonna give you guys one more fun fact. Get ready. Brace yourselves. Okay, so here are some events.
G
This is.
E
I looked, I found this on TikTok. These are events that would that have a one in one Googleplex chance of happening. This means they can happen. Okay, okay. But near impossible. Near facing through the floor via quantum tunneling. So there is a chance that the atoms align in your body and you could go right through the floor.
G
I've heard of this.
E
Very, very slim for that to happen. Now this one's interesting. All the air in a room rushing into one corner. Air molecules move randomly and there's a non zero chance that they all shift in the same direction at once. It has never happened because the probability is so extreme it exceeds the lifespan of the universe. How sick is that?
D
That's really sick.
E
Okay, Jay, it sounds like you're on your phone. You're not even listening to me.
D
I'm watching Jonas skit from the private jet you paid for.
E
Okay, okay. That's what I hate about Elio too. So, like, I'll pay for the jet or whatever. Or like it's to vlog.
D
Right, Right.
E
But. And the second we like walk into like a nice house or something, or like we see something that's really cool, the first thing he does is take out his phone when we're filming,
D
we'll
E
be filming for videos and he'll take out his phone and they'll cover his face and he'll take a picture for God knows what to send his parents.
D
What do you mean, cover his face?
E
Like, he'll hold the phone in front of his face.
D
Okay.
E
Yeah. And I'll be like, what are you doing? Like, let's shoot the video. Do the picture right after. Like, this picture that you can take will always be there. You can always take a picture of this house. But this is our first time. We're walking into it, and I've been going through, really, His Instagram story, spoiling everything about Coachella that I paid for for the video. Everything spoiled. Don't watch the video. Just go watch Elliot's stories.
D
Well, that is tough when you're out with you and you know you can't post anything. And we always try to hold the
E
footage, but just hold it till we post.
D
Yeah, yeah. Then you forget about it when you post. Then you're like. Then you. Now you're posting from three weeks ago, and you're like, I was in Rio.
E
I just, like, don't understand. Like, Ilya's posting, like, a video of him, like, in a convertible, like, who cares? Why are you posting this right now? Do you know what I mean? Like, it has no substance to it, but he's.
D
He's running a business, so the more he posts, the more likely someone's gonna download that app.
E
What?
G
What?
E
No, no, no. He's posting just on Ilia, Fatty. It's not like he's posting on Zila.
D
I don't know. I feel like. I feel like that's. His job is to post. And you're so funny, you know, you yell at him when he posts.
E
Wait. And if anything, if that's really your outlook, then his job will be done so much better when he waits. Because he's also filming a vlog when he waits and he posts for the vlog like you. I mean, right?
D
But you yell at him when he doesn't post, and you yell at him when he does post, so I hate him.
E
I hear you.
D
Did you see Jon Bon Jovi save that? Did you show this to your mom?
E
Yeah. Save the woman off the bridge. Yeah, that was my mom.
D
That was your mom that was jumping?
E
Yeah.
D
That Jon Bon Jovi saved.
E
Wait. I'm so sorry. Are you completely done with my facts?
D
Oh, yeah. I didn't know you're still going. Good.
E
Can I just keep going?
D
Yeah, please, please.
E
Anyway, Bon Jovi saved someone from killing themselves. I think it's real. I mean, the video looks too good. He's literally dressed as, like, classic Bon Jovi. I'm like, is this AI? It looks like he just came from, like, performing a concert.
D
But why is it that we always see these handsome celebrities saving people? This happens all the time. You'll. You'll hear about, like.
E
Well, if they feel planted, I don't think you hear about it that much.
D
So Jon Bon Jovi's just walking in Nashville? No one is, I think.
E
I think Jason Elsa's celebrities have probably a way higher success rate when it comes to saving.
D
Yeah. If someone's gonna get you down from that bridge, Johnson. Yeah, yeah.
E
Like, imagine I'm about to kill myself. I'm staying on a bridge. Whoa, whoa.
D
You've got bigger Bali belly. You're done. Yeah, the DMT people won't have.
E
Bon Jovi's approaching me from the right, and you're approaching me from the left. I won't even turn my neck towards you.
G
Yeah.
E
I won't even pivot.
D
Hey, bud, don't do it. Jump into my arms.
E
That is making me want to kill myself faster. I'm like, where is that shrieking coming from? Make it stop. And then I'll turn to Jon Bon Jovi, and I'll be like, can you kill that man? And only then will I not kill myself. Okay. A broken glass reassembling itself. Ready?
D
Yeah.
E
At a particle level, physical processes are reversible, meaning shattered glass could theoretically reform. How crazy is that? Again? The chances are practically impossible, but not forbidden by physics.
G
I can't believe they're still going on.
E
No, no, these are good. These are good. These are good.
G
This is crazy, because these are all possible, okay?
E
Your body teleporting across the planet. Quantum mechanics allows particles to appear in different locations. So there's a theory. Jay, this is real. I'm not even reading off this. I just know this, okay, that if atoms are tied, if they're quantum, like, loop together, right? So let's say I put two atoms into a quantum machine and I tie them together. Now, I take those atoms and I shoot one to a thousand light years out into space, and I keep one here on Earth.
D
Yeah.
E
This is gonna blow your mind. Okay? The second I turn mine, the one in outer space is also gonna turn because they're tied.
D
Okay. Okay.
E
Are you not paying attention?
D
No, I'm listening. I'm just imagining you on a bridge, about to jump. Saying this.
G
You want to hear one more fact? Well, John, wait.
E
John, do you understand that?
D
I get it.
G
Kind of.
E
So things could be tied quantumly, I think. It's incredible.
D
So how does the glass come back together?
E
I don't know. That's a tough one. Okay, this one's interesting. Ready? Your brain can create a full false memory instantly. Neurons fire through electrochemical signals with random components. In theory, they could align perfectly to create a detailed memory of something that literally never happened. Oof.
G
I think I've had that happen to me, though.
D
Yeah.
E
Are you sure?
G
Yeah. You don't think so? You've never had, like, a false memory?
E
Wait, it's getting even crazier. Remember, all these things are possible. A sneeze can collapse into a microscopic black hole. If all particles in a sneeze compress into an impossibly small point, it could form a tiny black hole.
D
And then what happens when you.
E
The physics allow it, but the conditions required are beyond astronomical?
D
Can we go back for a second? John, when have you.
E
Well, that's my next point. Sometimes if the Adam's a lot. No, I'm kidding.
D
I go, john, when have you felt like you had a memory that didn't happen? Because I struggle with that. Like, I feel like if I was on. If I was being accused of murder.
G
Yeah.
D
Someone could probably convince me 100%. Yeah. Yeah. That I did it.
G
Oh, my God. I fucking did it.
D
Yeah, me too.
G
Yeah?
E
Yeah.
D
It's really scary.
G
Yeah.
E
Oh, that's really interesting.
D
Yeah.
G
If you told me enough times, probably, like, I'd be like. I'd question myself.
D
Yeah. What'd you say?
E
Dave, do you. Someone told us to revisit our death penalty argument.
D
Okay.
E
Do you still think about it the way that we thought about it before?
D
Oh, shit, man. I don't even remember what side I took.
E
Well, that's good. Take a side now.
D
Okay. What's the. What's the argument?
E
Do you think the death penalty is a good enough punishment or. It's a good. Like, is it a good punishment? Okay. Somebody kills your daughter.
D
Yeah.
E
What do you want them to get? Life in prison or death penalty?
D
Life in prison.
G
Really?
E
Because that's worse.
D
I'm just not. I'm just not that into the death penalty.
G
But it would just save you.
E
Wait, wait. Sorry. But which one's worse?
D
I'm not sure. That depends on the person. Death penalty or being in jail? For me, being in jail would be worse.
E
You've switched up.
D
Oh, did I?
E
Yeah. Holy.
D
I'm just not that I don't remember what the argument was, but I just.
E
Exclusive. Wow.
D
What was the original argument?
E
Originally, you said you didn't care if your daughter died.
D
Oh, yeah, that's right. I said that. I'm sure I said I don't care if my daughter died. Yeah, yeah, that's right. I remember now.
E
I'm just kidding.
D
You know what you need? A tay sandwich is what you need.
E
I think I miss tay, guys. If anybody sees Tay at Coachella, tell her David says hi.
D
Oh, wait, I'm looking at Natalie's story. They're having tay sandwiches on the jet.
E
Shut up.
D
Yeah.
E
Alright, guys, that's all the time we have for today's podcast. Jay, what are we at?
D
We're at a good place in our relationship. 40 minutes, I think.
E
Well, we'll see you guys later. This has been a sick episode. Brought to you by David and Jason and Naveen and. Who else is there? John?

Yeah.
