[C]

Views.

[D]

What's up, guys?

[A]

Welcome back to Views. We are back with another pod, lfg, which means let's go lfg.

[D]

You're so good, man. With the AN acronyms.

[A]

Yeah, lol.

[D]

What else you got?

[A]

So, well, let's just skip the acronyms and start going into this pod asap.

[E]

Oh, he did it again.

[F]

My boy's on fire.

[A]

Did you know that comment I hate so much that, like, drives me nuts.

[E]

Tell us.

[D]

Lfg.

[A]

No. When people say stuff about the vlogs and they're like, isn't that where they're always non stop laughing? Oh, I hate that. It drives me nuts. Cause it's like, yeah, we are, but can I show you the raw footage? Yeah. Cause for 99% of the time we're depressed. I'm just saying, like, I just. I feel like people think we're walking around just in hysterics all the time.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And that frustrates me. It's like I'm only. I'm cutting because we are laughing. And I'm not laughing on purpose. Yeah, I'm only laughing.

[D]

You only saw that clip because we were all having a good time in that moment.

[A]

That pisses me off so much.

[F]

So should we do that?

[A]

Like they laugh at anything. It's like, well, not true. Maybe if you don't find it funny, it's because nothing funny happened for us in the last hour. And that was the funniest Moment.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

So, like, it kind of got us hooting, hollering. You ever feel that, Nat?

[F]

You ever feel.

[A]

Feel that?

[E]

Kind of. I love to hoot and holler.

[A]

Well, yeah, obviously she's dead inside. Yeah. I made Natalie stay here. So our friends land tonight at midnight from the airport. Mike and Nick, my hometown friends. Nick. I bought an Audi for Mike. A Mercedes. That's if you're thinking about them in video terms. That's where they were. Okay. I had an idea where we were going to go convoy and pick them up.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And this is my first convoy ever.

[D]

Is this a trend on TikTok?

[B]

No.

[F]

Okay, so we're LARPing for sure.

[A]

There's this YouTuber called Ethan Wang, and Ethan helps us edit our videos now.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And he. In his videos, I don't think he invented this, but he made me aware of this is when you convoy. It's. You take, like, four supercars and you drive down the highway, like, side by side, and it's just, like, badass. Me and the boys are going, rawr.

[D]

So me and the boys are going. Me and the boys are going to the Olivia Dean show.

[A]

Olivia Dean show. Yeah. Wow. That's actually the best place to convoy.

[B]

Probably.

[A]

I'll put that on my. On my to do list.

[B]

You.

[D]

The boys are stopping by home goods.

[A]

No. So we're gonna take all the cars that we have. We have two Astons, two Ferraris.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And we're just gonna convoy down to the airport. Surprise. Mike and Nick have not seen the Valhalla.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

And that'll be. And it's kind of fun to pick up people at the airport waiting in a supercar.

[D]

Yeah. So who's in what car?

[A]

I haven't decided that yet. I'm gonna take the Valhalla. I mean, which car do you want?

[D]

I want the Ferrari.

[A]

Which one?

[D]

Oh, the gray one.

[F]

Oh, you want the red one?

[D]

No, I'll take the red one. That's fine.

[A]

Power steering is broken on the red one.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

I called Ferrari, and I was like, can we fix the power steering?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And normally they tow your car. They fix it. They do everything for free. My warranty's up.

[F]

I know.

[D]

So how much they want to fix it?

[A]

I didn't even ask. I just hung up. I was like, no, Power steering it is. I don't want to hear that. Bill. Fix the power series. Probably like $7,000.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

I mean, yeah, that's.

[A]

Fuck that.

[F]

That's Ferrari.

[E]

Fuck that.

[A]

I don't give up. Yeah, but it's a free Ferrari. Both my Ferraris are free and they're going to stay that way.

[E]

How does power steering just stop working? I don't get that.

[A]

Guys, I have an idea. Should we also when they land. Guys, if you're listening to this, you're getting to. This is the behind the scenes.

[E]

I also have an idea. So.

[A]

Oh, really put that out there of when they land.

[E]

Potentially. Yeah.

[A]

Okay, I had an idea. Okay, well mine could be a two parter or one parter. Mine could be they land and we obviously were flexing on them with these cars which they're excited to see. It's not us just like being like you look at la, you just landed from suburbs. But should we like go to the Uber lot? Should we give them $10,000 each?

[C]

What?

[F]

That was so random. But I'm all for it. I guess.

[A]

It's funny because they're gonna hear this and if we don't decide to do it. Yeah, it's on one of you guys. Whoever says no.

[E]

I mean, God damn it, David.

[D]

I mean that.

[E]

What did we just talk about today? We just had a financial meeting today about the overspending that is happening. And David keeps telling me I don't even spend that much time. You do little things like this where you're just like, oh, I'm gonna go buy a watch for somebody or I'm gonna give somebody 10,000. Do like that adds up really quickly.

[D]

Okay, so yeah, 10k.

[A]

So let me just tell you this. Mike and Nick are going to hate you after this pod.

[D]

What a buzzkill.

[E]

Now we're going to cut this.

[D]

Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. I want to know about the spending meeting today.

[A]

Wait.

[E]

Also.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[D]

I really want to know how much money he has.

[E]

It's not good.

[F]

Damn.

[D]

Really?

[E]

Yeah. They were like, he can't keep spending the way he's spending.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Because these videos are costing 250.

[A]

Exactly what I told Natalie. I was like, yeah, before the videos we weren't having these meetings.

[E]

No, it's not. It's not about the videos. The videos like the videos a pay for themselves almost every break even.

[D]

Is it John's salary that's breaking you guys 1000%.

[A]

We're letting go of John.

[E]

Yeah, I mean I wasn't gonna say that here on the pod.

[A]

No, we're talking about all the BTs right now on the pod. I'm telling you, John's fired.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Alex and Nick or Mike and Nick. $10,000 a piece of Mike and Nick get John salary.

[F]

There we go.

[A]

They're solved. But I was also thinking, like, we give him the money and then we can go straight to the casino. What?

[E]

David, brother, it's fucking midnight.

[A]

Okay. Sorry.

[F]

I did not. I've been moving around.

[A]

Okay. We'll just convoy. We'll convoy. We'll convoy.

[E]

Here's my idea. Convoy to the Krispy Kreme.

[F]

Okay. That was the Christmas.

[D]

You know, Randy's Donuts is right down by the airport.

[E]

We convoy to Randy's Donuts.

[A]

Oh, my God. Okay.

[F]

Well, this was her great idea.

[A]

Well, that is kind of funny.

[E]

It's so funny.

[A]

Well, now we have to get the donuts because.

[E]

And the 10k because.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, we have to get them the donuts and not the 10K.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Just so when they're listening to this, they'll be like, wait, that was the other option. It was a dozen glazed donuts. I don't know if there's a Krispy Kreme near the airport.

[D]

We should go to Randy's Donuts because it's got that iconic Iron man, that big donut that's in Ironman, where it's clear.

[A]

Inglewood, right?

[D]

Yeah. But it's really close to the airport.

[A]

I feel like that would be a good place to convoy. Because then you could. You can park your cars.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And I dropped Naveen off at the airport.

[A]

But we should go to LAX or. Sorry, In n out. No. Isn't that, like, the thing to get them when they land?

[D]

In and out will be closed by then.

[A]

What? What?

[F]

No. In and out. It's open till 1am in and out's fine.

[E]

There is a Randy's right next to the airport.

[A]

Okay. I'm down to do either one. So, Mike and Nick, if you're listening to this, you're at 20k. Sorry, Natalie, but I'm pretty excited about this convoy. I've never done anything like it.

[D]

It's fine.

[F]

I mean, they look so cool.

[A]

Yeah, they look cool.

[F]

I don't know why you don't. You've never done it before. You don't just.

[E]

I thought we have convoyed now.

[A]

We've never convoyed in Miami.

[E]

With who ea all those sports cars?

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

We did.

[D]

We did.

[A]

We did. We did.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

What do you think they're gonna say when they see all the cars?

[A]

They're gonna be like, is this a convoy?

[D]

Yeah,

[E]

I'm staying here for five additional hours.

[D]

I'll say.

[E]

You.

[D]

You are doing it, right? Like, they're coming to LA weekend. Like, kicking it off that way with, like, three supercars and everyone came to pick up the airport. That like gives you like a boost the whole weekend.

[A]

100. Yeah.

[D]

And it's nice.

[A]

They wanted to see the car. And I think it's like gonna be a good. And honestly, I may just go straight out to the clubs with them if they, if we land.

[E]

Nobody is asking to go to the club.

[F]

I mean, imagine if they just landed just like on time, like 11. We could have gone to Barliz, seen Alex's show tonight.

[A]

Our friend Alex is our roommate. Alex is DJing.

[D]

What time does he go on?

[A]

He goes on at midnight, so we won't make it unless we convoy quick.

[D]

You're really letting Alex down, man.

[A]

Dude, he's playing such an interesting show. It's. What is it? It's the middle of June. Yeah, he's playing Bar Liz is having, which is like one of our popular clubs here in la. They're having a Halloween themed party tonight. Oh, in the middle of June.

[D]

Oh, I got invited to that.

[A]

How? Really? Yeah, let's not be doing well. Don't go. They cancel tickets. That's pretty interest.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And that sounds like one of those things that'll be a complete mess or a complete hit, right? Like, no, in between.

[F]

I agree.

[D]

I don't know. People get dressed up.

[A]

Well, Halloween here is like. It's like spiritual.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Speaking of spiritual, can I tell you my other vlog goal that I'm really trying to do? I really want to go see the Pope.

[D]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard that. I saw that one on the board.

[F]

Yeah, that'd be really cool.

[A]

And honestly, this is my plan and I don't know if it'll send me to hell, but I want to rent. Not rent, adopt. Adopt five babies for the day and have five of my friends there. And then I'll maximize our chances. When the Pope drives by, he takes. Because, you know, he. As he comes by in his convoy, he grabs babies. Or like his security. Have you seen this? His security grabs babies and they bring it to the Pope and the Pope blesses the babies. I am scared, though, if there is like some like, Christian ruling that if you bring someone else's kid, you go to hell.

[F]

I mean, you're just, you know, you're just touring.

[E]

I don't think so.

[F]

Because you have

[E]

no.

[A]

You have the opportunity to bless that kid.

[E]

To bless that kid.

[A]

Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, that's actually a really good point.

[D]

Yeah, you're doing a good thing.

[A]

Babies from la.

[E]

No, that's.

[C]

What?

[A]

No, that's not because everyone in Rome, Natalie, is. Can obviously go get their baby blessed by themselves.

[D]

So. So wait, what happens?

[E]

So.

[D]

So. So let's say they do he does pick one of your five babies. What are you doing? You're running up with a camera.

[A]

No, I'm like, he grabbed my baby.

[D]

What if he grabs the baby from Nat?

[A]

Yeah, we're gonna have to put the baby down because that baby can't touch Natalie when it comes back from being blessed. Cause it'll start burning Jesus. Because it'll go from the hands of the Pope to Lucifer. And that kind of jumps.

[E]

When is the day that this act will end.

[A]

That kind of juxtaposition will kill the baby on the spot, so we'll have to protect it.

[D]

It's kind of crazy that Nat's been here since like 10am and just been even at this late hour at 10pm Talking.

[E]

Actually crazy.

[A]

Well, I start peeking this late.

[D]

Oh, this is when you come out. This is when the good stuff happens.

[E]

This is when I go to bed.

[F]

Prime demon.

[A]

Speaking of demon, this is when Natalie's an. It's really funny how, like, our, like, cycles work. Like. Like I.

[E]

Our cycles.

[A]

You like Natalie, you wake up to text from me.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Like always.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Like a shit ton of them. Like, if I have an idea or something. Yeah. And then I wake up to text from her.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

It's kind of cool. Oh, yeah, it's really interesting. Cause I always wake up, I'm like, okay, there's 40 texts from Natalie in like, 30 different. Like, four different group chats.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

But I think she gets at the other end, which is fine.

[D]

Nat responds at 7:00am you don't respond till like, 10.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

John, do you ever wake up and you're like, dave texted. Are there always texts?

[F]

No, it's just like Natalie texted.

[A]

Oh, Natalie texted you?

[F]

Yeah. Cause she's literally like your hand. I'm like, oh, fuck, I gotta be productive.

[A]

I heard a rumor about you, John.

[F]

What?

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Is this true?

[F]

What?

[A]

You changed the day of your anniversary. Oh, yeah, this is real. To what day? Wait, wait, when's your. When's your real anniversary?

[F]

December 22nd.

[A]

And what day did you make it?

[F]

9 11.

[E]

Oh, my God.

[A]

This, like, isn't enough for the pod or it's too much for the pod? We have to talk about this on the vlog.

[D]

No, this just went from pod to vlog.

[A]

Yeah. This is.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

I mean, this is crazy.

[F]

911 is the cheapest day to buy a flight. And we said, like, we should go somewhere.

[A]

That's so every year now you celebrate.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

9 11.

[D]

How much difference in price is it?

[F]

Huge.

[G]

Really?

[F]

Really?

[D]

From 910 and 912.

[F]

Huge. Huge. Nobody wants to be on a plane on 9 11.

[A]

That may be what's huge, brother. Craziest life.

[E]

Huge.

[F]

Like, like at least 50%, 40% cheaper.

[D]

Really?

[A]

Internationally or just nationally?

[F]

Anywhere.

[A]

Shut the fuck up.

[F]

Okay, okay. Obviously not like, internationally. Like, would be the lowest John might be on domestic.

[A]

Do you feel like a level of guilt, though? Like, people are mourning the nation. It's probably one of the most sad holidays. Not holidays. One of the most events.

[D]

Johnson.

[A]

Horrifying events that have ever happened. And you're using it for a coupon to American Airlines

[F]

from dusk till dawn. You know what I mean?

[A]

What the fuck does that mean?

[F]

It's just like darkness, you know, Comes late anniversary.

[D]

And so actually December 22nd is the most expensive time to fly.

[F]

Terrible.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

We've tried everything and I can't. I can't find any deals.

[B]

So this.

[A]

And it just makes.

[F]

It makes me so mad, Jay. It makes me so mad.

[D]

You might have created a separate problem for yourself, which is it's the holidays. You're going to have to travel anyway. You could have lumped everything in, but now you've created a second holiday for yourself.

[F]

No thing about it, it didn't make sense.

[A]

I mean, Chris, spread eagle right now. Can you like that?

[F]

John, what other tips do you have for people that are trying to save money?

[F]

Honestly?

[A]

Yeah. What's like the biggest life hack?

[C]

You.

[F]

You gotta get friends and family somewhere. Like be nice to your friends and find a hookup for like hotels, flight, like Delta. Anyone that works at an airline. Dude, that's my goal to find a

[A]

friend that works at.

[F]

Yeah, it gets like standby flights.

[E]

The companion.

[A]

Dude, I used to fly standby all the time.

[E]

For what?

[A]

That's how I'd fly to la. I had a friend that worked at the airport, see. And I was put on standby and it sucks sometimes.

[E]

Yeah, right?

[F]

It's a dice.

[A]

No, it was like 50 bucks to fly that. It was like something crazy.

[D]

Really good.

[A]

It's crazy. I said at the airport for like six hours.

[D]

Oh, wow.

[A]

But I didn't have any money to fly to la, so yeah, it was definitely worth it. And when you're 18 years old or whatever. When I first flew out to la, flying to LA is like flying to Mars.

[F]

Yes.

[A]

Like, it's not. It's not like, it's not easy.

[D]

Like taking a private jet.

[A]

Now it's even crazier. It's just landing in LA itself is like, what the fuck?

[C]

You're here.

[A]

Where all dreams come true. I don't know that part, but yeah. John, come on, John, you know that you're I was. I was talking about the last podcast that. That you make good money.

[F]

In what sense?

[A]

Well, like, you always like to complain that, like, you like to cosplay as somebody who's broke, but you're not. You're not anymore. It's very unfortunate.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

Am I right? Am I right?

[F]

Whether you are right or wrong, I don't think it matters.

[A]

What do you mean?

[F]

Being frugal is. Is a lifestyle. Like, what do you mean? Look at that.

[A]

That's true.

[E]

Look at Nat. Yeah, me.

[F]

Actually, you're pretty frugal, Nat.

[E]

I don't know about that.

[F]

I think you are.

[E]

Like, how. Why do you think I'm frugal?

[F]

Like, I mean, it's just like, I

[E]

drive a Ferrari, John, okay? It's like the least frugal thing ever.

[F]

Yeah, but you didn't, you know, you didn't do that until this year. But, like, the only thing I remembered you buying before that was obviously you buying a house. You were frugal for X amount of time, for sure. This was the only year, I think that you flexed.

[A]

Yeah. Why did you start flexing this year, Natalie? What got into you?

[E]

To make videos.

[A]

You started making videos? I did this for you. Think about, think about it.

[E]

In this year, my most expensive year.

[F]

Yeah, this. This year,

[E]

yo.

[A]

Shit was so good without the videos. Snapchat opening toys off the Internet, monthly budget, 800 USD. I'd spend on these. Like on a Slinky. Yeah, they're telling you do 40 Snapchat stories about that Slinky. In Croatia. No, no, but what. Something was really interesting is happening tomorrow. So we recorded this podcast the day before we did what I'm about to say, but we're having a prize picks tournament here, and Jamie Foxx is my partner.

[F]

Oh, wow.

[E]

Pickleball tournament.

[A]

You like? Yeah. How crazy is that?

[D]

It's amazing.

[A]

I just texted him today, like, okay, so first of all, I texted him. I was like, are you down to play? I said, hey, it's David having a pickleball tournament at my house on the 19th, if you're interested. And then he took. And then he. He only responds in videos, which is kind of crazy. So then this is what he said. He goes, don't you tempt me with a good time, baby.

[D]

I'm in.

[A]

However you want to get down, I'm in. Thank you for even reaching out. Pull up and whatever you need, man, I'm there. All right, Peace. That's so crazy. And I sent that to the chat. I'm like, I think he's coming. And then I texted him the address, and he didn't respond. So then I sent him a video, and then he sends me back a video, and he goes, david, spit.

[E]

Ax him.

[A]

All the way in, baby.

[F]

All the way in.

[A]

And that silence there is.

[D]

Let's go.

[A]

That silence was him panning the camera from him to the pickleball court. But, yeah, I guess he's super in. And then I texted him today just to triple check. I'm like, why?

[D]

I don't want to be out there with John.

[A]

I don't want to be stuck with John as my partner. I love celebrity pickleball tournaments.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Because it's always one celebrity. Do you know what I mean?

[D]

What do you mean?

[A]

Like, Jamie Foxx is, like, gonna be the celebrity.

[D]

Sure.

[A]

But, like, it's. But you don't think that's funny?

[D]

Well, aren't there other celebrities coming?

[A]

Yeah, but it's. But the title is so grand.

[E]

Like, it just makes it sound like

[A]

it's gonna be, like. It's the opposite. It's the star studding.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Maybe you've been in LA long enough where you, like, you don't find that funny, but I always find it so fun.

[D]

So the word celebrity pickleball tournament.

[A]

Wait, why are you not getting exactly what I'm saying, John?

[B]

Are you?

[F]

I'm not sure what you're saying.

[D]

Wait, say it again.

[E]

Celebrity pickleball tournament puts so much emphasis on celebrity. Right. You think that every person playing is going to be someone notable.

[D]

Ye.

[E]

And some big celebrity or movie star.

[A]

But it's, like, two celebrities.

[E]

Yeah. And then it's like, other.

[A]

And then it's like, me and, like, four other. You're a big celebrity for eight other influencers.

[D]

Right. No, I get it. You're saying Jimmy Foxx is the only, like, traditional celebrity.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You don't think that's crazy? I always think that's so funny.

[D]

I mean, it just goes back to our conversation this morning, which was just like, some people think some people are important, and other people think other people are important.

[A]

You know, it's not even what I'm saying.

[D]

Did you say Drewski's coming?

[A]

Yeah, but I think celebrity is, like.

[D]

It's, like, arguably the biggest celebrity, probably. I see what Jason and anyone.

[A]

Okay, I get that, but you're being, like, very. You're right in some sense, but also, like, I think celebrity still reserved for, like, movie star. For the OGs.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

Like a movie star.

[D]

Sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. You think that, but my kids don't Think that.

[A]

Really?

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

In other words, I'm sure Charlie would be way more excited about Drew Ski than.

[A]

Do your kids think Charli D' Amelio is a celebrity?

[D]

100%.

[A]

But do they refer to her? No.

[B]

No.

[A]

Here's okay. And this is where I think we're different. You call them celebrities because that's your golden standard. But do your kids think the word influencer is just as powerful as the word celebrity? Like, to your kids, yeah. Saying, oh, that's Charli d', Amelio. She's an influencer is probably the equivalent of you saying, that's Jamie Foxx the celebrity. But in their world, influencer carries a higher name or maybe like a higher standard than you saying celebrity.

[D]

I don't know. Whenever I talk to kids, they just think that influencers, celebrities, it's all the same thing.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

That's crazy. I really.

[A]

Yeah, I do.

[D]

You know, like, we grew up in a different. Even you and I. Even with our age difference, like so many years, you remember really getting a lot closer though. I mean, we're pretty close in age now.

[A]

We're moving up the same way though. It sounds like.

[D]

Yeah, but I don't wear rhinestone sweatshirts. Did you borrow that from Olivia? Jade?

[A]

I wish. She let me borrow her clothes. I'm in a tube top right now. No, I. No, I'm wearing my rhinestone sweatshirt because we're convoying. I wore my two shoest outfit for this experience.

[D]

I think my mom has a jacket like that.

[A]

No, I actually love this. This jacket I got from this random guy that pulled up to me in traffic and threw it at me. Yeah, he's like, this is my, this is my design. You need to wear it. And I never get a chance to wear it. It's baby blue with. Do you guys think it's cool or do you think it's whack?

[F]

Yeah, it is.

[E]

I think it's cool. It's just not very you.

[A]

But like, do you not think, like I'm pulling it off right now with how I look?

[E]

No.

[A]

Oh, fuck.

[D]

Every time I wear it, brother, you look like you're like at like a Costco.

[A]

You know when the first time I

[D]

wore a 16 year old woman wears

[A]

that, you know what day I wore it too for the first time. Where or where to disclose your day?

[D]

Okay.

[A]

I had such high hopes for the movie. I was like, I gotta dress up.

[D]

And. And I will say you've been looking great lately. Like, I really liked your outfits. You. I see you when you're In Monaco or you're on the yacht and shit.

[G]

Really?

[A]

Thank you so much.

[D]

Yeah, like, I like that like long sleeve polo you wear.

[A]

Natalie's texting Taylor on the side to buy me outfits.

[D]

You think he's got bad clothes?

[E]

No, no, no, no. I'm just like, he needs to keep it up.

[A]

I see Taylor went shopping for me today. I was gonna say we just saw Toy Story.

[D]

Put that on your close, close friend's story and take a poll.

[A]

This outfit?

[D]

Yeah. And just, just the jacket. I. Dude, I took a poll yesterday

[A]

on my close friends. I said, guys, I have about 125 people on my close friends. Can you guys tell me how many you have?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And listen to these votes. This is crazy. Should I like doc some of these people and say how many they each have? No, no, I shouldn't. But majority of 46% of my close friends that voted.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Have zero to 50 close friends. That's crazy.

[E]

Only that makes sense.

[A]

Only 3% have over 200 and only 10% have over 100. That's kind of crazy. I thought it was like gonna be for sure. Everybody was. I don't know.

[D]

I guess by definition close friends would make you think that it would be a pretty small number under 50.

[A]

Do you know who is the only person that has over 200 plus close friends? Diplo Zayn. Hijazi.

[D]

Oh, really?

[E]

He is over 200?

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Wow.

[A]

And Natalie, you're one of four that have over 100.

[E]

But I use mine for like business.

[A]

So you try to reach a lot of people?

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

No, like I asked, I'm like, am I a whore? And now it looks like I'm a fuck.

[F]

Does that actually do anything?

[A]

Close friends is incredible. You need a couch sold immediately. I can put it on there. It's gone.

[E]

Really?

[A]

And I'll do anything. Anything.

[D]

Five couches.

[F]

Let me tell you, some couch.

[A]

You want to sit courtside at the Lakers game tomorrow?

[D]

Yeah, I do.

[A]

Close friends.

[D]

But I'm so confused when I see your close friends. Like, you'll put something funny up on close friends.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And then I'm like, why the fuck isn't this going out to everyone?

[F]

Yeah, I get, I get that.

[D]

It's not like it's. It's just like a funny joke you make. I'm like, oh, that's really funny.

[A]

Because it's like, I think I've been doing this so long trying to be elusive, where it's more rewarding to get. Like, it's fun to look at, like your actual the people that you know look at your stories, otherwise you can't see them.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

So it's like, it goes back to like when I was in high school and I put up a story and I'm like, did my crush like it or did this celebrity I'm into, like it or whatever? Like, it just goes back to those days and you just kind of feel like you're like, literally just posting like in your high school days. So that's why I love it.

[E]

More validating.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I'm so tired of. Do you ever, like, go around la? I thought I would, like, try to paint the picture for people that don't live in la. Like, some of the bad parts of la, like, like, people. Everyone's just so crazy here. Like, like, I went to Sprouts the other night and like, I like, literally risked my life to get cookies because there's just like a crazy.

[A]

John, didn't you just say, oh, yeah,

[F]

dude, I almost got tackled. Big Five. Yeah.

[A]

What was happening, people?

[F]

Shoplifter. And he was running and I was like, big Five. At Big Five. Yeah.

[D]

Our Big five.

[F]

Studio City.

[D]

Yeah. Right here.

[F]

Yeah. I had to wait for a guy to help me pick up the ping pong table. And I was just exiting and I was chewing gum, like, just, just. I was like, wow, what a beautiful sunset. And this guy just shot and I just get like, shoved, like, and I just turn around and I just see these guys, like, they, they put the entire, like, you know, those things that have like a bunch of like, sunglasses and stuff. It just like he threw it down.

[A]

Oh, you actually witnessed the whole shoplifting?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[E]

That's crazy.

[A]

Oh, yeah. You said in the group chat that you almost got tackled.

[E]

That's like, by a homeless person.

[A]

That's like, not as. That's like the most normal LA thing ever, but this is like such a cool story. You got. You saw shoplifting happen? Yeah. Did you stop it?

[F]

I looked at him and I looked back at the sun again.

[A]

You looked at him and then you looked up at the Big Five logo and you're like, this is a big corporation. They could take it.

[F]

I mean, he. I mean, he booked it. He booked it.

[A]

What did he take? Sunglasses.

[F]

I don't know. I mean, he just, he just grabbed a bunch of stuff and he just dropped like half of this Scenes in

[A]

Spider man, by the way, huh? This is how Uncle Ben dies. Because. Because Spider man let the shoplifters go. The bank robbers go.

[F]

But I didn't know. I was like, I was actually.

[A]

Is any of your family in town?

[F]

No.

[B]

Good.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

So than being dead are have now gone to zero, which is nice.

[D]

It's not even just. It's not even just like criminals or homeless people. Like, just crazy people. Like, I was hiking today, and there's a guy who hikes in Runyon and he's been there for a few years. And he's like. He's like six four ball guy. He's so jacked, he's so strapped. And he carries a chain around his neck. Like the kind of chain, not like a gold chain, like a chain that would be attached to like a wrecking ball. It's like a 50 pound chain that he carries with him and swings around. Have you seen him?

[A]

No. I don't know why this feels like I've seen this before, but I could easily imagine.

[D]

He's out of his fucking mind. And he, He's.

[F]

He's.

[D]

He sounds like. He sounds like, like Mr. Hanky from like South Park. He's like. He's like, oh, hello.

[A]

Is he crazy?

[D]

He's fucking nuts. And so then I saw him today. I hadn't seen him in like a year. And I'm at a part in the hike where there's no one around. It's really treacherous. And if I. If I take one wrong step on the hike, I gotta go really slow. I'll throw my back out or whatever. And so then I see him and he's like, oh, oh, not going too fast today. He's just so fucking ominous.

[A]

Dude, hiking so interesting in la because if you do it enough, you see the same people over and over again.

[D]

Yeah, I see the same people.

[A]

Same people.

[D]

I see the lead singer of Tears for Fears every day.

[A]

Really?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Like at Runyon. You probably know this guy. Do you go to Runyon?

[D]

Yeah, Runyon. Yeah.

[A]

There's this guy that only runs it backwards.

[D]

Oh, I haven't seen him.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[D]

He runs it backwards.

[A]

Uphill, the entire thing. He's only doing it backwards constantly. When I used to go with Ernst, we would see him every time.

[E]

Like 12 years ago.

[A]

Yeah, but Jason's been around for so long, I thought maybe. Maybe he'd fucking raise that kid, to be honest.

[D]

Great sweatshirt, man.

[A]

Sorry, I forgot to say this. The Pope. Why I want to see him, okay. Is because he's. First of all, he's from Chicago.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Super cool dude. Fucks with aliens. No, but does he. He's now learned. Six, seven. Have you seen this?

[D]

Yes.

[A]

So not anytime kids are like 6,7ing him. He does it Back with his hands.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I think that's so cool.

[D]

Maybe he'd give you a six. Seven.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

With his rhinestone jacket.

[A]

I don't get. I don't. You think the Pope's tired?

[D]

No.

[F]

What?

[G]

Really? Not at all.

[A]

So many people.

[D]

I think you're the Pope. You got to be. Probably gets.

[A]

Does he drink?

[D]

Eight hours.

[A]

Wait, the Pope doesn't drink?

[F]

No. They're abstinent from anything.

[A]

Wait, really? The Pope can't. But he drinks wine. The blood of Christ. What do you think? He just can't. He doesn't take shots.

[F]

Definitely.

[E]

Definitely does not take shots.

[F]

A glass of wine thing. You're right. I don't know about, like, would he do it, like, recreational.

[A]

I used to be so baffled by the fact that my priest didn't. Wasn't allowed to have sex with women.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

When I was, like, 15 or 14, it blew my mind. There's the priest lived right next to the church.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'd watch him go home. Like, we were in the car. Like, my siblings would be playing at the park, and I'd watch him walk home. Every time, I would just stare at him in disbelief. I'd be like, what's he gonna go do? And I wasn't even. Like, I didn't even know about sex at the time, but I was just so confused. I was like, yeah. Is he just gonna go inside and read the Bible?

[F]

Is this a Libertyville one?

[A]

Yeah. Do you know how they, like, walk across the street, they walk home?

[F]

You know, I just thought. I've just. I've just thought about priesthood before.

[A]

I was just like, oh, really?

[F]

It's an interesting lifestyle. Yeah.

[A]

Well, you seem like. Did you see that guy in. I'm going to completely fuck up where he's from. But that guy who's been standing for 12 years.

[D]

No.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[F]

Oh, yeah. With his feet, like.

[D]

Like, how does he sleep?

[A]

His feet?

[G]

He.

[A]

He leans so he leans on this, like, rocking thing, but his feet are completely purple. And he's made a vow to keep standing until he gets this vision from whoever the God is that he, like, worships. But his feet are completely purple, and they have to come and apply ointment to it. Like, it's not like his feet look like. Like the elephant feet.

[F]

Yeah. Like, it just so inflamed.

[A]

It's so. It's. They're black. They're completely inflamed. It's like. It doesn't look like any person. No, no, no.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

But, yeah, it's pretty crazy.

[F]

I've seen those Indians, which is. That just raises their right hand.

[A]

Keep the hand up.

[F]

Yeah. And it's just like completely atrophied. It's like, it's like skinny.

[A]

Wait, for how long ever?

[F]

For like years. Years.

[A]

They keep their right hand up?

[F]

Yeah, they just keep like one of their hands up. One of them, not the other.

[D]

For what reason?

[A]

Religion.

[F]

Religion.

[A]

There's gotta be. Dude, religion's crazy. Yeah, there's gotta be one of them that's like the closest, right?

[F]

Would you get a calling? You can follow it.

[D]

You guys go, religion. I'm like, yeah, but like, what are you saying? Like, you guys are so much smarter than me.

[G]

Religion.

[A]

I actually thought that when I said

[D]

it and I was like, yeah, obviously religion. But I was looking for a little bit more, dude.

[A]

When I was like, the second it came out like that, I'm like, I wonder if this is gonna work. I wonder if I'm gonna get away with this.

[D]

People tell me something like a fact. And she'll start in and then I'll go, yeah, Ann. And she'll go, well, that's all I know.

[A]

Yeah, I'm pretty notorious for like giving the most half assed facts ever, right? But yeah, religion.

[F]

Yeah, religion.

[G]

I agree.

[D]

I get it.

[F]

So good.

[D]

So good.

[E]

So good.

[D]

I'm so not into religion. I'm so not into religion.

[A]

Really?

[D]

Yeah. I'm so not into religion.

[A]

I was thinking about you the other day. Can you explain that to me? Why I saw a TikTok? I'm a like Christian Catholic. I don't know what the difference is, but I believe in Jesus. Yeah. And I saw this TikTok the other day that was like, just basically no one believes in any kind of religion. And then they're born and it's kind of like fed to them. Like they're taught it's. I just don't get. I don't get why people have such a stick up their ass about being, like, atheists. Like, why, like, isn't it just easier to believe in something?

[D]

No, target. Believe in something.

[A]

But why? You're here for a reason. Like, not. I'm not trying to be one of those guys that knocks on your door right now, but, like, I'm knocking. Why?

[F]

It's like saying, like, that's like saying not believing in ghosts. It's like, it's, it's harder not to

[E]

believe in ghosts, but it's not real. Like, there's nothing. Like, there's no, like, factual evidence.

[A]

That's like, yeah, but you're here. Is that not, like, fact enough that, like, something's going on?

[D]

Like, because you've presented a million different scenarios to me other than religion. Like, you, you yourself, who is, I guess is semi religious. But you've also said to me, oh, yeah, we're in a simulation and none of us are here.

[A]

So sorry.

[D]

Sorry, what the fuck?

[A]

But to me, if we are in a simulation.

[D]

Right.

[A]

Whatever. The fact is it all leads to higher power. And that is what I. When I pray, that is what I'm praying to.

[E]

I believe in a higher power. I just think there's, there's, there's elements of religion that are not.

[A]

That is his name Jesus Christ? I don't know. But, like, is the, like, I pray to the idea of a person that's like kind of like the caretaker. That's like the thing that you're supposed to emulate to be a better person and all this stuff. Like, I believe in that.

[D]

But you also said that we're living in a simulation. So those are, those are two different things.

[A]

I don't think so.

[D]

Which one is it?

[A]

Oh, you should see Disclosure Day. It's actually kind of touches on this.

[D]

I feel like, oh, you told me not to see it.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Disclosure date touches on the fact that a lot of Christians are like, there can't be. There can't be aliens.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Because. Because we're. We're like, chosen. Yeah. We're like the people.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. But, like, that doesn't mean anything. Is basically what is basically how it ends is like, yeah, there are aliens.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

There's also a God. Same. Same. I think, I think that's. That's pretty easy to, like, unpack now.

[D]

Like, you know, I just feel like there's two different things.

[A]

Don't you feel, like, mopey and, like, discouraged? Like, there's nothing out there. I'm just Gonna die. And like, doesn't that make you feel like a loser? Like, I'm not trying to hate on atheism because, like, I'm not an atheist either or whatever. You are boring. More power to you for like, not believing in something.

[D]

But like, so, but, but like you, you want me to believe in something?

[A]

Yeah, anything.

[D]

I mean, I believe in everything. I believe in so many things.

[F]

Oh, aren't you Jewish?

[E]

Don't they believe in Jewish?

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

So.

[A]

So you have a belief there.

[F]

You have a belief.

[D]

I don't, I don't go to temple. I don't. I don't like, pray to God. I'm not gonna look up in the sky and be like, do you want to try.

[A]

You want to try Christianity with me?

[D]

Oh my God. I. I know this is where you're going. I know you're gonna be the biggest fucking Christian person when you're like 50.

[C]

No.

[D]

You're gonna be so into religion. Yeah, you are. You're gonna marry somebody Christian and it's gonna be really, really interesting.

[A]

No, no, no. Cause I'm like, pretty like. No, I mean, obviously I love pussy, man. I could never, can't be that priest walking home alone. Walking home and nothing.

[G]

No way.

[A]

No, no, no. I also think there's. I also think, like, people can be like, really overbearing with their religion. And like, I think that steers a lot of people away from. Yeah, I don't know.

[D]

Let me think about it for a second. I just don't believe it.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

You know what I mean? Like, I just took it's. Are you religious, John? A little bit.

[F]

A little bit for sure.

[A]

Now. Are you?

[E]

No.

[A]

What, you don't believe in anything either?

[E]

Oh, no.

[F]

She's a demon, remember?

[A]

100. But she still should have like Lucifer or somebody.

[F]

Yeah, you're right.

[D]

And the piece that I'm boring. I'm boring because I don't fucking believe in him.

[A]

Just think it's like God. Actually, I do think it's boring. It's like you just like, you don't have like any. Like, there's got to be something.

[D]

You think going to church is exciting?

[A]

No, that's what I'm saying.

[E]

I just like, only equate religion to like church or like temple or something. And I don't really see.

[A]

I don't do that cuz I don't like church. I never understood church. I was like, if God is real, like, can I just talk to him?

[E]

Yeah, but the thing is like my whole thing is that. Okay, let's say that I believe in Jesus or something. Like, if you believe in a certain aspect, don't you just believe in the whole fucking thing? And I don't believe it. I don't think I follow the whole thing.

[A]

Like, you're saying, like, you don't believe, like. Like certain stories, like Moses parting the Red Sea.

[E]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Things like 40 days.

[F]

40.

[A]

That's right. Yeah. Okay.

[E]

And it's like, if you're believing in 10, if you're buying into 10%, then you might as well be buying into the other 90, you know?

[A]

Okay. But, like, I don't. I also don't think that there were, like. I don't necessarily think that there were, like, these superhumans doing crazy things. But that doesn't change what that is. Trying to fucking sound like a preacher. That doesn't change the fact that what that's trying to teach us. Right. Like, just like watching a video or watching a movie, like there's a message. Right. And isn't that, like, the same thing in this story? Like, real or not? Like the story of Moses, story of David, whatever. Like, aren't they all just messages? Like, no matter whether or not they were real, this isn't just all lead to, like, just be a better person, be a good person. And then. And then I think there's one North Star, and that's. Is it an alien? Is it a computer? Is it a piece of bread? Is it a flower? Whatever that is, Its name in my head is God.

[D]

Yeah, I just. I just have a bad taste in my mouth about religion because it's just, like. It seems to be, like, lorded over people. It seems to be you take advantage of people, preachers take advantage, stuff like that. It's just like. I don't think it's just, like, power over people.

[A]

Being religious makes you a better person. I don't think it does anything. But I'm just saying, like, I just. I find it easier to go through life.

[F]

Yes, sure.

[A]

Having a belief.

[D]

You have a.

[B]

You have hope.

[A]

Yeah. And it's just like, somebody to be like, yo, shout out. Shout out to you for this Valhalla?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, you gotta be fucking kidding me.

[F]

Shout out.

[D]

You did not just bring this back to your Valhalla. That's crazy.

[A]

Tonight I'm gonna go to bed and be like, thank you for letting me convoy. No, no, no.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[D]

You had so many, like, Catholic people on your side for the last 10 minutes, and then you just ruined me.

[A]

I gotta bring it back. Bring it back to Reality. That's actually the point of my sermon today.

[D]

I see.

[A]

It's like, just sprinkle in. Sprinkle in the Jesus godly vibes. I don't know. I fuck with whoever. I love all religions. I fuck with all of it.

[F]

I wanted to be Jewish when I was, like, middle school.

[D]

Why'd you want to be Jewish?

[F]

Because they had that.

[A]

Oh, because they lived in the bigger houses.

[F]

Yeah. No, I'm just kidding.

[E]

I wanted to be Jewish so bad.

[A]

Bar mitzvahs.

[B]

The Bible.

[A]

They had bar mitzvahs, bro.

[F]

Every Christmas. Christmas, bro. Like, oh, I got this today. I got this today for two weeks straight. You know, if they were. I hear about it.

[A]

But John, if they were Christian, I get one day. No, no, but John, those. All those kids were so rich that they would also still get 10, 10 presents on Christmas.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

There was no way around that.

[F]

Like, they were getting stocks. Like, I don't remember getting stocks. Get a piece of paper.

[E]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, dude, that's so funny.

[A]

Listen, well, I think it's almost time for us to go. Convoy.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, I. Jay, I also saw Toy Story today.

[D]

Oh, yeah? How was it?

[A]

It's the fucking best.

[D]

You like?

[E]

So good.

[D]

What was so good about it?

[A]

So good.

[E]

David.

[D]

I'm gonna go.

[E]

Seers sobbing like, four or five times at the movie.

[D]

You're crying?

[A]

You didn't look at me.

[E]

That's. Yes, I was looking at you.

[A]

Really?

[E]

You were wiping the tears from your fucking face.

[F]

I want to know.

[D]

I want to know what made you cry. Which parts?

[A]

So it was. The whole premise was toys versus text.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Toy versus tech.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And a lot of it is like. Well, it's. First off, it's amazing to see the characters that you grew up on, like Woody and Buzz. And a lot of the jokes with Woody are like, he's gotten older. Like, he's a gut now. He's bald. And all of it, all the entire movie is toy. I'm not spoil. I'm not gonna try to spoil anything. Is toy versus tech.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And, like. And it's not just one tech piece. It's like the evolution of tech. So it's like, from, like, corded phones to phones to computers to, like, little digitized, like, games, like, everything in tech. And it's just like a really, really good story. And it's really pretty.

[F]

So good.

[A]

Characters are really good.

[F]

And it's so original.

[A]

It's like, it's original. It just. It feels so good.

[F]

It's so nice.

[A]

I don't Explain. And the whole premise of it. What now? I'm so bad at explaining shit.

[F]

Well, it's just hard to, like, spoil. Not spoil it.

[E]

No, no, you're good.

[A]

The whole premise of it, which is really interesting, is that Bonnie, who's a girl in it, she, like, can't make friends.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's all about her making friends. And it's hard for her to make friends because she's kind of an old soul. She wants to. I don't know. That's the difficult part. Anyway, the whole. It's really hard not to spoil it. So I'm trying to talk around. Anyway, the whole takeaway from it is to play. Yeah, play more. Less technology. Right. You can see that in the trailer. This is really crazy. This is what happened when we were walking out. Julia. Julia heard this and she couldn't have made it up because she told us right away. There was a group of kids that were walking, like 10 kids. They were like, on a. Like they were with their camp counselor.

[F]

Yeah, Camp counselor kids.

[A]

And they all had, like, little blue shirts on, so, like, you don't lose them or whatever. By the way, we're surrounded by all kids. I've never been to theater that was actually full of kids. It was like kids, like, to the left and right of us going, like, making the craziest sound. And you want to say something, but you realize that you shouldn't be there,

[F]

like, the entire time. And I kept turning around, but then I saw the guy. The kid had headphones.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

I'm like, ah, fuck, I can't say anything.

[A]

So. And as. As these kids are walking out their camp counselor, one of the kids is like, wait, hold on.

[D]

What if we.

[A]

What if we missed something at the end of the credits?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And the camp counselor goes, just Google it. And the kid goes, did you not watch the movie?

[E]

Oh, my God.

[A]

We're not supposed to use our electronics as much. Crazy.

[E]

Whoa.

[A]

Like, what are the chances of that, like, interaction happening?

[G]

Right?

[A]

I hope that camp counselor had his mind blown the second that kid said that.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, you couldn't have written that better. Just Google it.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you watch the movie? A fucking eight year old saying that to you? I don't know.

[D]

That's like. That's what. That's what kids are like. They do. They say stuff like that.

[F]

Is it crazy how much they stop

[D]

you in your tracks?

[A]

That is kind of cool. Kids are good at that.

[D]

Yeah. They stop you in your tracks, like,

[A]

whoa, those are the kids we should take to The Pope.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

We should bless those.

[D]

Like, one time I tried to park in a handicap space, and my kids flipped out.

[F]

Wow. Oh, my God.

[A]

Yeah. Kids are.

[D]

You can't.

[A]

Kids are true.

[D]

Yeah. So true.

[A]

This reminds me of a movie, which I don't think. I don't know what it has to do with this, but I haven't given a movie recommendation in, like, a minute. Go watch Mr. Nobody. That's a good one.

[E]

Really? Mr. Nobody?

[A]

Yeah. Jared Leto. Mr. Nobody.

[F]

That unlocks something in my head.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

One of the Lionsgate kid.

[A]

Oh.

[D]

Made it.

[F]

Yeah. He said it was top five movies.

[A]

Yeah, it's a great movie about in it, dude. It's really hard to explain.

[F]

I think it's.

[A]

It's this guy who lives five different lives. Okay, it's the same guy, but it's what would happen if he lived these five different lives. And the reason I just came up with it, because we're talking about kids, and there's a scene when the kids are born. You know that, like, little part between your mouth that's, like, where your lips come together and they're, like, indented.

[B]

Mm.

[A]

It's like, no kid has that. Until an angel, like, basically pushes you out of heaven and they touch that part of your lip and it causes a little indent in your lip. And I always think about that. For some reason, when I look at people's lips, I'm like, oh, you came from heaven.

[F]

Is it called cleft?

[A]

No, no, no, no, no, no. You're talking about a cleft chin or a cleft lip.

[E]

Cleft lip.

[F]

Cleft lip.

[A]

No, no, I'm talking about, like, what you have in your mouth right now, right here.

[G]

This.

[A]

This little part. Yeah, yeah, that's from. What is that called?

[F]

Oh, okay.

[A]

It's called the angel lip.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

I'm making things up, but go watch Mr. Nobody.

[E]

It's like the peak of your lip.

[A]

Let me know what you guys think.

[D]

Download.

[C]

Download.

[A]

Let me know if you guys want more details Right there. Yeah, more God talk on the pod. All right, we'll see you guys for the next one.

[D]

Bye.

[C]

Bye.
