  • Quote (Jason, 02:18):
    "I was just so angry and I don’t know. I’m so sorry. I like, obviously there’s a lot of reasons why I hate fitness…The most mental strain I’ve ever had was getting in shape."
• The group pokes fun at Jason for missing Ilya's “old self” (partying vs. business and fitness mode).
• The classic “friend group hierarchy of frustration” makes an appearance, with Jason lightheartedly ranking who annoys him most.

2. The Great Wordle Cheating Accusation

[05:56 - 16:20]

• The crew’s nightly Wordle tournament has turned into a battleground, with newcomer John racking up implausibly good scores—and sparking accusations of cheating.
  • Quote (Jay, 07:42):
    "Why I call him the Slumdog Millionaire is if you’ve ever seen Slumdog Millionaire…his life experiences have, like, perfectly crafted, like, his life experiences paired with every question he’s been asked. And that is literally the epitome of John in Wordle."
• Natalie, Julia, and Susie express skepticism about John’s talent; heated debates ensue over “guilt vs. quilt” and Wordle strategy.
  • Quote (Susie, 15:30):
    "I don’t know what he’s doing. I just think he’s cheating…"
• Various explanations are floated: time-zone leaks, outside help (Reggie), extraordinary Wordle luck, math skills, and more.
• Despite joking accusations, there’s a begrudging respect for John’s consistent wins—leading Jason to (temporarily) quit the nightly game.

Notable Wordle Segment:

• [06:09 - 08:53] – The "quilt/guilt" tiebreaker story.
• [11:22 - 14:09] – The "segue" debate and John's suspicious starting words ("neats", "femur").

[17:16 - 22:19]

• Revealed: the next vlog trip was determined by spinning a globe and throwing a dart—Zane’s dart hilariously lands on Sweden.
  • Quote (Jay, 17:52):
    "He threw a dart. We spun the globe…for some reason, Zane threw the dart really weird and almost hit the North Pole. But it hit Sweden."
• The group shares excitement (and anxiety) about travel: short daylight hours, cold temps, and lack of plans.
• Natalie notes, "you get like, what, two hours of daylight" in parts of Sweden during winter.

4. Rich People Problems: Buying Expensive Watches and Cars

[Jay]

What's up, guys? Welcome back to View, guys. If you listened to the last episode of the Pod, I was in a bad mood. Well, hold on. This is what's interesting about it is I was in a bad mood. And I'll tell you exactly why I was in a bad mood. Okay. There was this moment where I'm talking to Ilya and. And I don't think Jason apparently didn't sense it.

[David]

No.

[Jay]

And I guess Natalie didn't sense it. I mean, I don't know. I was like, you're always in a bad mood.

[Natalie]

Yeah. I'm like, there was nothing new.

[Jay]

I was, when we got off the pod, like, I was like, can you, can you cut that out? Because I was like obviously being condescending to Ilya, like on purpose. But since then, someone, someone DM me saying, you sound annoyed with your friend sitting on the pod, not your norm. And it's so true that.

[David]

Because you're annoyed by.

[Jay]

Well, okay, so in the last pod and I, I'm going to apologize. In the last pod, Ilya brought up this guy that was in really good shape on the beach. And you know my gripe with being in shape.

[Natalie]

Not just a guy, an 80 year old man.

[Jay]

Yes, I know an 80 year old man. And I just, I don't know what it is, but you off it set me off.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And I just.

[Natalie]

Crazy.

[Jay]

And I was just so angry and, and, and I don't know. I'm so sorry. I like, obviously there's a lot of reasons why I hate fitness. Right. I've done the transformation journey myself. Yeah. It makes you look at your body differently. Like, not like once you get to the peak Then, I mean, John, you're here. Once you get to the best shape of your life, once you get to address it, once you get to the best shape of your life, like a little change, you start to lose your shit.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

You're like, I'm not as fucking fit as I was yesterday. Even though it's like nothing, it's not actually happening. You're like, still. You still have your six pack. And, like, it's. It's. It's like just like the. The most mental strain I've ever had was getting in shape. So I have. I get angry when people talk about being in shape, and I shouldn't, but I get so mad. And I was taking it out on Ilya when this. He's talking about this. This gentleman who was in great shape. Congrats to him. But I was just taking it out on Ilya.

[David]

It's so funny.

[Jay]

And also, my other. On my other side of Ilya is like, you know, I've lost him to the fitness world. He doesn't go out at all anymore. So there was a lot of things that were, like. That was, like, frustrating me.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And yes, if you listen to it, it's very. There's a very undertone of me being angry and condescending, and you can. You can only pick it up if you're like a regular podcast listener.

[David]

But the thing is, what's funny was he wasn't. He was just telling a funny story about a guy that was in shape. He wasn't bragging about.

[Jay]

No, he wasn't.

[David]

He was trying to tell you what he was prank.

[Jay]

It's like. It's like someone commented. Someone said. Someone said, Dave sounds really cranky. That's exactly what it was. It's exactly what I was. I was very cranky. I have to watch myself when that happens because, like, I don't know, you.

[David]

Got trauma from Tzila, from working out.

[Jay]

I don't know.

[David]

It's just him.

[Jay]

Hey, man.

[Julia]

It also started this whole podcast, your vlogs, so I don't know, man.

[Jay]

It also started my podcast, like, your.

[Natalie]

Your fitness transformation.

[Jay]

You're telling me Zela started the vlogs? Please don't fucking.

[Julia]

It reignited it, okay? It reignited it.

[Jay]

No, what reignited it is belief that Ilia was going to be down to vlog again. That was what reignited it.

[Natalie]

That is also true.

[Jay]

So. So I have a lot of anger and animosity towards Ilia because he doesn't like.

[David]

He.

[Jay]

He, like, is so into business. Yeah. That, like. But yes, but. But that anger and animosity is temporary, obviously. Like I'm. I'm saying if it was actually really bad and true, I wouldn't be saying it out loud. But it's. It's just like sometimes when he talks about fitness, I just get so irked, even though I know it's this. It's become his passion. I guess it's been his passion for likes. Three years, all of a sudden, out of nowhere. High school never mentioned fitness. I've known him for 15 years, nothing. All of a sudden, now his new passion.

[David]

How much would you love it if Ilya just quit the fitness thing and just came out with you and drank and partied.

[Jay]

I don't want him to quit. I just want him to find balance. But this man just doesn't believe in. Doesn't believe in that he needs to be locked up in his house and be working to. To like, enjoy it. I think it's just. It's just because there is no balance. And it's just like, I don't know, you know, you know how I am. I'm also like, king of, like, let's be having fun all the time. And Ilya's just like, fun doesn't equals success or progress.

[David]

Yeah. So, like, who else are you frustrated with out of your friends?

[Jay]

That's it. Natalie. Natalie I'm frustrated with from time to time. John. Obviously he's a new hire, so most frustrated with him.

[Julia]

David quit wordle yesterday.

[David]

Oh, I quit wordle.

[Julia]

Why?

[Jay]

Because I've had enough.

[David]

Damn. Wyatt got it in three today.

[Jay]

Wyatt got in three? Well, you're talking to the fucking slumdog Millionaire of Wordle. I refer to him as John.

[David]

Yeah, he's good.

[Natalie]

Incredible.

[Jay]

So listen, really shockingly, John, how are you?

[David]

Good.

[Jay]

We thought he was cheating for the longest. Have we talked about it on the pod?

[David]

A little bit.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[Jay]

That we thought. We think he's been cheating.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Yesterday John and I had. John and I tied for the Wordle, so we had to have a tiebreaker.

[David]

Okay.

[Jay]

And that's when one of our friends makes up a word. So John's girlfriend makes up a word, and we're guessing. It takes me five guesses.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

To five guesses. To come out with it. It takes John three. And I'm. I'm like, how the did you get it in three? The word was. The word was quilt. Okay.

[David]

Wow.

[Jay]

And he got quilt in three guesses. Now on my fourth, on my third and fourth guess, instead of guessing quilt, I guessed guilt.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And then built yes. And then you go for the Q word like a regular person.

[David]

Right.

[Jay]

And. And before that, somebody made a comment because we were. We were accusing John of being a cheater right before it. So Reggie makes a comment because he gets the word. Like, way before he was like, oh, Julia, nice word. It really works with what we're doing here today. And I'm like, when I thought. When I thought of guilt, I was like, perfect. Guilt. John probably is guilt from cheating. In Wordle, the word must be guilt. So I play guilt. It's not. It's also not built. And then all of a sudden, then I found out it's quilt. I get in five junkets and a three. I'm like, john, how the fuck did you get quilt on your third guess? How did you get to quilt? And he's like. And he goes, well, I looked down and I was laying on a quilt, and I'm like, fuck you. I'm like, fuck you. I lost it. I'm like, I'm never playing with you again. And I don't care if I'm a sore loser. Wow. Because I'm done.

[David]

You beat him?

[Jay]

No, no, no, no. This isn't the first time he beat me. Beats me every single time.

[David]

Yeah, but I mean, he built you out of. He beat you out of the game.

[Jay]

He beat me out of the game. Why I call him the Slumdog Millionaire is if you've ever seen Slumdog Millionaire, it's about a guy who wins, who wants to be a millionaire. And the only reason he wins it isn't because he's, like, the most genius out of all people. It's because his life experiences have, like, perfectly crafted, like, his life experiences paired with every question he's been asked. So he has the answer step. And that is literally the epitome of John. In Wordle. In Wordle. That's one time he got it. He got it in two. This is the first day John played wordle with us. He got it in two. His first word, because he just started working out. So his first word was train. And then his second word was clamp. Clamp. And he got it on the second word. The word was clamp. And the reason he got clamp was because he's been working out, and one of the things you use is a.

[David]

Clamp to hold the weights.

[Jay]

It's fucking insane.

[Natalie]

It's fucking insane.

[Julia]

I've never seen anybody this, like, this.

[Jay]

Untouchable at Wordle in this inc. So yesterday I put in the towel. I was like. I was like, I genuinely don't care. I don't care. You're the best at wordle. I don't want to see this game anymore.

[Julia]

John.

[David]

What's your secret?

[Julia]

I mean, vibes, you know.

[Jay]

No, genuinely, it must be vibes. Like, I don't know what it is.

[Julia]

I mean, I do get frustrated in the game too, especially if it has double letters.

[David]

But, like, what word do you start with?

[Julia]

I like train. I like neets.

[Jay]

All John needs is train, and then all of a sudden he's off to the fucking races.

[Natalie]

Damn.

[Jay]

But yeah, he is. He's incred at it. Taylor's also incredible at it.

[Julia]

Taylor's actually really good.

[Jay]

Julia, his girlfriend, like, you know, she doesn't do the best and she does the most reading out of all of us, so it's also.

[Natalie]

This is.

[Jay]

This isn't a. This isn't a soul, David. Frustration.

[Natalie]

This is like, I quit like a month ago.

[David]

You do?

[Natalie]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, one, they play every day, every night, and I, like, just couldn't keep up with it. I was like, I can't win.

[Jay]

I. I also realized it put me.

[Natalie]

In a bad mood before bed.

[David]

Really?

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Please be John.

[Jay]

No, it puts you in bad mood at least.

[Julia]

And I'm.

[Jay]

What did I do?

[Julia]

I have my own frustration.

[David]

Were you good in school at English?

[Julia]

No, English was my worst English.

[Jay]

Now that's fucked up, Natalie. And also, like, I know that I'm coming off, like, of already being frustrated, so, like, don't take my word for it. Here, Julia, I'll take this. You can just stand there. Julia, you know what we're talking about here. It's a very sensitive subject in this house. What do you think?

[Susie]

Oh, I don't know.

[Jay]

It's John's wordle.

[David]

He's cheating.

[Jay]

See, Al, what do you have to say? We've already talked about a lot, so it's all you guys. Yeah. The debate is really, is, is he.

[David]

Dumb or is he cheating?

[Jay]

Have you explained that?

[Susie]

No, he's definitely cheating. He cheated yesterday for sure.

[David]

How do you know that?

[Jay]

How do you cheat?

[Susie]

Because I heard him talking to Reggie and Reggie was like. He gave him instruction on how to do it. And then John was like, oh, that's how you do it. And Reggie's like, yeah, that's how I get it every time I heard that.

[David]

Okay, what happened with that? What was that conversation?

[Jay]

John, are you cheating? Be honest.

[Julia]

I gave. I. I was frustrated at the word.

[Jay]

Because I had eu and you got outside help. This wasn't for quilt, right?

[Julia]

No, no, this is before.

[Jay]

This is for another word. Guess. Another word was John J. What? Segue. Yeah, and he. And he beat me.

[David]

Segue. Six letters.

[Jay]

No, not that segue. J, A.

[David]

Harder. Segue. S, U, G, U, E. S, E, G, U, E. Oh, wow.

[Jay]

Yeah, he beat us there, too. Wow.

[David]

You got the word Segway. Exactly. I couldn't even.

[Susie]

Reggie got the word segue, okay?

[Julia]

I put it in.

[Susie]

Reggie. Reggie got that word not.

[Julia]

I tried every single possible combination. I was doing pegue. Segue. Like, anything. Like, man. Way is like, dude, it was so hard, man.

[Natalie]

But what. What does segway mean? Do you even know what Segway is?

[Julia]

No, dude. Absolutely no.

[Jay]

That's his strategy. He doesn't type strategy. He doesn't know the words. Natalie. I, I. He doesn't look at the wordle through the English language.

[Susie]

This is how he got to Segway.

[Jay]

Okay, guys, these are the words, okay? This actually kind of helps him. He started with neats that he said is his favorite. Neats.

[David]

Neat.

[Jay]

N, E, A, T, S. That's a word.

[Natalie]

Then he went, what is that word? It's not even a real fucking word.

[Julia]

Neets, you know, that's neat.

[Natalie]

What does needs, John?

[David]

What does needs mean?

[Natalie]

Divine needs.

[Julia]

Like, you know, he needs me. You know you need me.

[Jay]

No way.

[Natalie]

No way. This man is the master of Mordor.

[Jay]

The master obliterating all of us.

[Natalie]

Neets.

[Jay]

You neets.

[Julia]

Like, you know, I know neats you like.

[Jay]

What does it mean?

[Julia]

Like whiskey on a neats, you know?

[Jay]

Wait, I don't know. Maybe that's true. I have no idea.

[David]

I don't know.

[Jay]

He's thinking, a neat whiskey. That's how you say it? On the rocks. Yeah.

[David]

Whiskey neat is. Is no ice.

[Jay]

But then.

[Julia]

No, but that's not neats.

[David]

That's neat.

[Julia]

Yeah, but it's plural word.

[Jay]

Okay, Regardless. He went to neat.

[David]

You can't do plural. Exactly. Yeah, exactly.

[Jay]

Exactly. You can't do plural. If you play wordle, you know that it'll never be a plural word. So he starts with a plural word. God knows why. Maybe God knows, to be honest. And then he goes. Second word. Okay, good one. Femur. He goes femur.

[David]

Wow.

[Jay]

And then he goes segue. I mean. I mean, it's the only thing I'll.

[David]

Say if you're not cheating is John is good at math, so maybe he's. Maybe he's really good at, like, taking letters.

[Natalie]

Is he good at.

[David]

And doing combinations.

[Jay]

I don't want to get. I don't want to take away the Thing that John is the master at, I don't want to like, but this is.

[Natalie]

He's unleashed some sort of, like, incredible secret superpower, and we have to accept it.

[Jay]

No, that's what it is. But that's also why I'm quitting. I'm just quitting. It's too.

[David]

No, man, you can't quit. You gotta come back and beat him. You gotta take him down.

[Jay]

It's impossible. Jay.

[Natalie]

David.

[Jay]

Jay. I don't know what the word segue is. I. I had.

[David]

You know what a segue is, But.

[Jay]

I thought the segway was only spelled one way. No. Whether you're riding it or whether you're moving on to the next thing. I thought a segway was S, E, G, W, A Y. I had no idea there was a segue with S.

[Julia]

G, W, a Y Segway.

[David]

Like a segue when a cop rides around on. Get parking tickets. A segway.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Julia]

But that's. Yeah, but I'm thinking of, like. Like segue.

[Natalie]

Oh, interesting. Okay.

[Julia]

Like. Like the Segway.

[Natalie]

If you're going to segue, like, you're going to change topics.

[David]

That's how you spell it.

[Jay]

Yeah. Did you know that?

[Natalie]

No.

[Jay]

No, I didn't know, but John did. John knew that, and he knew the eight wordles in two. The last eight wordles. He got it in three.

[Natalie]

I mean, it's crazy.

[Jay]

Something's going on. Julia, do you have. Do you have an idea for what could be happening?

[Susie]

I think he has an insider in the Philippines who's sending it to him.

[Jay]

Yeah. So obviously the Philippines in a different time zone. So, like, we've. We've definitely. We've. There's been four days where we've sat with him at midnight, taking away his phone and then. And then. So he doesn't get a text. But I've realized there's so many time zones that he could be getting the wordle 7, 8 hours in advance from the Philippines or whatever. Whatever the time zone difference is there.

[David]

So I just, like, maybe it's one of our listeners.

[Julia]

Somebody.

[Jay]

Somebody's fucking sending it to him.

[David]

And now you're gonna get a ton of dm.

[Julia]

I'm really just getting a DM from the listener in the Philippines.

[Jay]

I will be really. We should. As frustrated as I am with you, credit. You know, I have to give you credit where credit is due. You are an incredible wordle player to the point where I think you're cheating. I. I think it's genuinely incredible. I think you should do this professionally.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Honestly. Is there like a. Like a competition you can enter because you.

[Jay]

Jay, he's never played wordle ever. And the second time, then the first time he played, he got it in two, and then his next run, he got it in four. And then his third run, he got it in two again.

[David]

Wow.

[Jay]

In two, Jay. In two.

[David]

I don't think he's cheating.

[Jay]

And that's crazy.

[David]

Like, why would he cheat? That's a prodigy.

[Jay]

That's Jay. That's a prodigy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David]

Teach us your ways.

[Jay]

I. I don't want to know because I don't want to know the secret, to be honest.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[David]

Did you get today's?

[Julia]

Yeah, but I lost. I got. I got in four.

[David]

Julia, what do you think?

[Susie]

I think he's cheating.

[David]

You do? Yeah.

[Julia]

It's kind of crazy.

[David]

Who. I do, you know, all his friends.

[Julia]

My own girlfriend is saying this, like.

[Jay]

Yeah, exactly.

[Julia]

Adamant. Yesterday she was like, adamant.

[Susie]

Yeah, I'm pissed off.

[Jay]

I mean, remember quilt over guilt?

[Susie]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

It's bullshit.

[Susie]

I don't know what he's doing. I just think he's cheating. I think yesterday, I think Reggie was helping him. I don't know what's going on the days before that, but I think Reggie was helping him yesterday.

[Julia]

No, he wasn't. He was. I gave him the phone, and if he got it the word, I would have given him the win, but he didn't. He couldn't get any of the word.

[Susie]

But it's like you're using two brains at that point.

[Julia]

We're not.

[Jay]

We were.

[Julia]

I gave him my phone because I told him I was frustrated. I'm like, I can't. I can't think anymore because you, Natalie and David were having their giant argument and I couldn't think. Like, I couldn't think because I was trying to, like, really my mind out of there, you know, because the vibes was off.

[David]

Mom and dad were fighting.

[Julia]

Yeah, exactly.

[David]

What upset you? What were you guys fighting about?

[Susie]

What a segue.

[Natalie]

You didn't want to?

[Jay]

I guess it would be my call for show.

[David]

I think it's more fun when they get to hear what's coming.

[Jay]

I think so, too. Do I say how we got to the decision of where we're going?

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Okay, so we are. We spawn a globe.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And Zane threw a dart.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And the dart landed. This won't be for the vlog for like, two, three weeks. So, like, are you sure? Like, I don't want to, like. Oh, I heard this three weeks ago. And they're watching it first. Huh? The first. Yeah. On January 1st. Okay. So it won't be for a while. And don't expect much from the bet.

[David]

Right.

[Jay]

Because I don't know what's going to happen. He threw a dart. We spun the globe. He threw dart. He fucking threw. It was one of the funniest throws because we're over here stoked that it's gonna hit the equator. We're like, it's gonna hit the equator. We're gonna be totally good. We're going to a warm place no matter what.

[David]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

Like, I was excited that, like, Africa covered a large surface area of that globe. So I was like, we're going to fucking. The safari.

[Jay]

Africa. One is. Is a funny. Is a funny hit.

[David]

Sure.

[Jay]

Because it's like, it'll be like a random country that no one's, like, really used to or, like, you don't necessarily vacation. So it's funny for that reason. And two, it's actually like, kind of probably like one of the best places to go, just because it'd be so different and so cool and it'll be warm for some reason. Zane threw the dart really weird and almost hit the North Pole. But it hit Sweden.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

So today we leave to go to Sweden. We have nothing there. I'm about to put it on my Instagram story. If anybody is in Stockholm, Sweden. If anybody's listening to this and is in Sweden, we're there for what, two.

[Natalie]

Three days are coming for you, baby.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Natalie]

We're there for two and a half.

[Jay]

Years, ironically, which is so crazy. We're doing this. This is like one of the bit ideas that we have for Alex's transformation. Video which we're really beat. We don't have any ideas. This is our only idea that's in that vlog for Alex's transformation idea. But ironically, it hit Sweden and that's where the IKEA tables are made. They're from Sweden. So we thought that was like, what are the chances of it hitting Sweden? So I'm really stoked.

[David]

What else is to do in Sweden that.

[Natalie]

Well, it is cold as fuck.

[Jay]

Well, that's not the bad part. The bad part is the daylight.

[Natalie]

Yeah, that too. You get. You get like in Stockholm, you get like, what, Two hours of daylight.

[Jay]

Stockholm, you get like four, four half. And then we're going to another place to, like, visit something. And it's two hours of daylight. That's higher in Sweden, like closer to the pole.

[Natalie]

Crazy.

[Jay]

So it's really crazy. I. Then that's why I'm like, saying, like, don't expect anything in this vlog because, like, I. Like I said, like, it's a tough place to film. It's a tough place to film. I genuinely think it's going to be. We're in Sweden. And then cut.

[David]

Right.

[Jay]

Like, I think. I think it's going to. I think it'll be fun. The best part, my favorite part is when we threw that dart.

[Natalie]

Yeah, that was really.

[David]

That in itself is fun.

[Jay]

That felt so good because. Yeah.

[David]

You wanted to do it for so long.

[Jay]

I've been wanting to do that idea for so long. We did it and it turned out so great. And the energy's so good. And it took like. You probably won't see this in the video, but it was like 45 minutes of like, talking to everyone before, like, Zane, if you throw this dart, I don't give a fuck where it lands. We have to go, like, we can't just. We can't like fucking.

[David]

And I remember I suggested Zane throw it, so he had to go. I was like, I think Zayn should throw the dart.

[Jay]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[David]

And you're like, yeah, that's a good idea.

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah.

[David]

And I'm like, but, Zane, you have to go.

[Jay]

Yeah. And Zayn was like, well, I probably won't go.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And I'm like, no, no, no, Zane, you gotta go like, whatever this lands on. And the only rule was if it landed in the ocean, we would throw it again, right?

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

And no, it hit Sweden perfectly. And it was. I'm so happy. And we gotta go there now. And I don't know. I don't know what to expect. Zayn was excited because he says like all the prettiest girls are from Sweden, which I have, I've heard before.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

So that's an exciting thing.

[David]

But how long of a flight is it?

[Natalie]

It's what, 15 hour day.

[Jay]

Damn. Yeah, we're in Poland first, which is amazing because I'm gonna get like a nice little sausage.

[Natalie]

Yeah.

[Jay]

When we land.

[David]

Oh, look at you.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

Yeah. What are you gonna put on it?

[Jay]

Just ketchup.

[Natalie]

Yeah, man.

[Jay]

Yeah, ketchup. Like I like when I like. Like I like European. Well, actually European countries are the best for airports because it's all like sandwiches. It's like salami sandwiches. That's all you get.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[Jay]

The only thing I fucking hate about Europe is the water bottles. Oh, fucking so frustrating.

[Natalie]

It's just because the cap is stuck in the cap.

[Julia]

Oh, I thought you were talking about the water itself.

[David]

What?

[Julia]

Yeah, it's like. It's like a heavier waters, very minerally. Oh, it's got that heavy feel.

[Jay]

Oh, I kind of see that. But no, it's the cap that frustrates me for some reason. I don't know why I want the cap fully off and I'm drinking water. It's like a very small.

[Natalie]

What kind of cap are you talking about in Europe? Like the. When you twist the bottle cap off the plastic water bottles, a piece of it stays on so that you can just put it back. Like the cap does not detach from the water bottle, just hangs.

[Jay]

Interesting. You didn't know this? You seem to know everything about the world, Mr. World don't know how caps are in Europe.

[David]

We're going on.

[Jay]

My bad.

[Julia]

The only country I visited in Europe was Paris, which is twice or three times now actually.

[Jay]

Well, first of all, that's not a country. And second of all.

[David]

Paris is a five letter word too.

[Adam]

Such a good dude.

[Julia]

I should have walked away when everyone else walked away, man. Why'd I stay? I knew I was going to trip somewhere. I knew it. I knew it, dude.

[Jay]

That's why you haven't been talking so much. Yeah, I've been holding so you sound like the intelligent one in the corner. Visited the country of Paris once. The first thing that he says out of his mouth is incorrect.

[Natalie]

That's so funny.

[Jay]

Awfully suspicious, Mr. Castro. Awfully suspicious. No, no, no, I think you are. You're very funny. I genuinely just think it's because I. I think you have very intelligent thoughts. I think they're. I think cuz you are like. Like I always say this, you're like. Like a very smart guy. It's like the way that the funnel that funnels all the intelligent thoughts, that's what messes it up. But I'm so for. But yeah, the cold is also going to be tough and it's weird because Natalie and I go into Australia, so we're having like.

[Natalie]

Yeah, I'm gone for 30 days. It's crazy.

[David]

Really?

[Natalie]

Yeah. I don't come back here until January, mid January.

[Jay]

Wait, wait, hold on. Let's hold that thought. Adam W. Is calling. Adam W. It's me. Adam W. Wait, that's so. Wait, wait. Whoa. Adam, you're on the podcast, so describe what's happening.

[Adam]

I just bought a new watch.

[Jay]

Okay. You guys ready to see it? Yeah. Yeah. Open it. Open it. Wow, brother. Wow, that's nice.

[Adam]

I guess all I can say is I'm pretty successful.

[Jay]

Guys.

[Adam]

Another one to my collection.

[Jay]

Wait, wait, wait. Adam, walk me through this watch and how you got it. It's really funny. So.

[Adam]

So I actually bought a watch.

[Jay]

Wait, wait, let me say. Wait, wait, let me say what you watch this. Adam got a. Adam got a Patek, an aquanaut with an orange strap. It's like $140,000. It's really nice. But wait, wait, tell them how you got there. It's really funny.

[Adam]

So I bought the other version of this watch and it was 100,000. And I went to show Dave and he was like, yeah, that's cool, but it's not the.

[David]

Shut up.

[Adam]

I was like, what? No, it's just like. The only difference is it has an orange dial. Like, you know, it's the same watch. And he's like, yeah, but it's just not. It's not that one, but it's cool. And he kept saying it's cool. And I was like, well, what are you saying? You're basically saying that it's not. I shouldn't have got it. Because I was like going back and forth between getting the 140k one or the 100k one. So I basically ended up. I had to. After he said that I didn't really sleep that night. I called the guy. I had to cancel the watch that I already paid him for. He had to return it, and then I had to send him an extra 40k to buy this one.

[Natalie]

No way.

[Jay]

So it's. Yeah, if. If you know watches. So, you know the watch Steve gave me is the black one.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

So there's. There's another black one that's.

[Julia]

So this.

[Jay]

The one that Steve got me is like 60, 70. I'm wearing it right now. There's another black one that's about 30, 30, $40,000 more. And it looks like this one. It just has, like, a little piece on the inside that is also just black, so there's not much of a difference. And that makes it 100 grand. But if you go up another 40, you get the one that just Adam got, and that comes with the orange strap. John, you know the difference, right? In. In the. In the watch world, it's like. It's like a. And then you ask somebody else, right? Did you ask other people?

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, some other people said it wasn't that big of a deal, but some people did. But either way, look, at the end of the day, bro, we both know what time it is.

[Jay]

Bro.

[Adam]

They both say the same time. Mine just happens to be better.

[Jay]

But, bro, it's stunning.

[David]

I know.

[Adam]

I gotta go get it fitted.

[Jay]

Damn. Congratulations.

[Adam]

Thanks. I'll come by and show you in person soon.

[Jay]

Okay. I'll see you soon. But, yeah, what I told him. I was like. I was like, don't spend a hundred grand on that watch. Just buy the one. Buy the one right below it.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

You'll save 40 grand.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

If you're already in that territory, then you might as well go up. And he looks at me. He's like, really? And I'm like, you want my complete, honest opinion? And then I showed him my wish list of watches. I only have three watches on there, and the one he just got is one of them. No, it's like. And it's like, the pinnacle of, like, really, really, really cool watches that I'm not. That I'm not gonna get for a really long time. But I'm like, adam, you're so close to the top. Just like. That's like, when I was getting my Tesla, and Heath and Ilya gave me the best advice. This was like, in 2018, I was like. I had the decision to get, like, the lowest model or to get the best model, and I couldn't afford the better model. But they were like, never go for the bottom. Like, I don't care if you can't afford it. Like, just get the top of the top of the line. You won't regret it.

[Julia]

This makes no sense to me.

[Jay]

What? Do you understand that concept, Natalie? Like, there.

[David]

I understand that mentality, but it is risky.

[Jay]

It's risky, but, like. But when you get something that is, like, I've heard a lot of other people operate like this. Like, when you get something that's out of your price range, it, like, really helps you like, work. Like, when you got the Ferrari, were you like, goddammit, it's time to get more brand deals.

[Natalie]

It definitely, like, motivates me to work harder. For sure.

[Jay]

Maybe. Maybe it doesn't work like that for you.

[David]

Maybe I gotta get rid of my Model Y.

[Jay]

You need to buy a Lambo. Imagine I convinced Adam to spend 40k on a watch. I convinced Jason to upgrade to Lamborghini.

[David]

Ilya did that to me once. I was looking at an Audi and it was like, a reasonable Audi. And then he put all the specifications on it and it went from like, 60,000 to, like, 120,000. And I was like. He got me all psyched. And I was like, I can't afford this.

[Jay]

Car. Yeah, it's really. Yeah, it's really tough when you, like, when you have someone like that in your ear.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Like, Ilya is definitely one of those guys. I also am one of those guys.

[David]

You got to get the calipers, Jay. You got to get everything in there now. You got to get all this shit.

[Jay]

Never go car shopping with a car guy.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Because it's like, unless you're, like, ready to spend. Because, like. Like, even when I go with Heath and I, like, we'll just look at cars and I'll be like, oh, this is affordable. And you'd be like, yeah, that's amazing. And then we'll go look at it. Like, he'll always be positive about every single car that's in the showroom.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

But you feel the difference when you go on to the next one that's more expensive, then he'll go, well, you know, last one was nice, but this is, like, this is the one, Dave. And it just keeps increasing. And he, like, really keeps his, like, tone.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

But, like, you could just hear in his voice, the more respect he has for the more expensive car, and he's, like, slowly egging you on to get the more expensive one. Yeah. So don't. Don't go shopping with Heath.

[David]

Remember the guy that sold Natalie her car?

[Jay]

He was just like, oh, so good.

[David]

He was so good.

[Jay]

He literally woke you up.

[David]

I don't know. We, like, left Natalie in the room with him for, like, 10 minutes, and then he walked out and he was like. He's like, we're getting a Ferrari. Remember?

[Jay]

I remember because Natalie walked into the room to see if she can afford it.

[David]

Yes.

[Jay]

And then she walks out and she goes, turns out. And then Jason goes, you can't afford it. And then Natalie goes, I can't afford it. And Jason goes, no, you can't. And I remember thinking, like, wait, Jay, what do you mean you. Like, you don't know her finances. But, like, Jay was. Jay was in such disbelief.

[Natalie]

I think we've.

[David]

Natalie made that much money.

[Julia]

No.

[Jay]

That he was, like, trying to convince. He's like, no, you can't. Natalie, you can't. There's no. Like, I know. In the back of his head, he's going like, there's no fucking way.

[Natalie]

Getting a Ferrari. Fuck.

[Jay]

You wish.

[Natalie]

You can get this.

[Jay]

Yes. But that was a crazy purchase.

Wait. Really? Wait, did you? From the girl from Shark Tank?

[David]

No, not from her.

[Jay]

Wait, what? This is shoot. From who?

[David]

I can't say who it is.

[Jay]

No way.

[David]

J. I can't say who it is.

[Jay]

Are you being serious?

[David]

Yeah. I had a second meeting today and I got an offer.

[Jay]

Wow. Oh, like fully offered.

[Natalie]

Wait, so what does that mean? What does that mean?

[Jay]

Wait, Stop saying I think so.

[David]

I can't say anything more about it, but I'll tell you off camera.

[Jay]

But wait, can you just tell us right now? Cut it out.

[Natalie]

Well, explain to the viewers, like, what does that mean to get an offer?

[Jay]

Oh, yeah.

[David]

What does it.

[Jay]

I don't even know what that's.

[David]

We made the pilot that everyone hated.

[Jay]

That's not true. Stop saying that. You're milking the I hated thing just so more people watching it.

[David]

It worked out so, so well.

[Jay]

I know.

[David]

I got so many more views.

[Commercial Voice 1]

I know.

[David]

And I felt so bad on the comments.

[Jay]

Oh, you're good.

[David]

Cuz people are like, david. No, they're idiots. Yeah, great. I felt so bad, each one, I'm like. I try to. Sometimes I'll be like, well, if it wasn't for David, I wouldn't have been able to make it right back. And then I go back and I check, and they don't. They don't write back.

[Jay]

No, that's fine.

[David]

So, yeah, I mean. And yeah. So I don't know. We went in and they were like, oh, we. We want to do X, Y, and Z with it.

[Jay]

And wait. Come on, Come on.

[David]

And I was like, you know, you're so skeptical. You're just like, really?

[Jay]

And you're like, okay, I hope this is successful.

[David]

I hope so, too.

[Jay]

And then we have that pod where I'm just like, you're like, you hated it. And you. That'd be really sick. Congratulations. Wait, who? Can you just say it off?

[David]

They want to buy 10 episodes. They want to get rid of the pilot.

[Jay]

They want to buy 10 episodes?

[David]

Yeah. In your defense, the pilot's gone. Oh. So they're going to start new and they want to do 10 episodes. So they want to change the title. The only thing I have to do is change the title, change the actor, get rid of Jason. Get rid of Jason, go to the writer and get rid of the guy whose dream it is. And they want to incorporate their company into the storyline.

[Jay]

Wow.

[Natalie]

Are they a production company?

[David]

Yeah. Okay. And it's a little unclear. It's like, where is it going to go? If you said, I don't know, sounds.

[Jay]

Like it's going on your YouTube channel. But they bought 10 episodes.

[David]

But I know. I don't even think it'll go on my.

[Jay]

What did you value each episode at? Like, how much?

[David]

They told me a million for the whole season. Holy. What?

[Jay]

The lot?

[Julia]

What? Jay, that's 100,000 per episode.

[Jay]

100,000 episode?

[Julia]

That's nothing you were asking for.

[Jay]

Jay, I paid six grand for that episode.

[Natalie]

I mean, nothing in the world of, like, production and media, but, like, I feel like for you, for me, it's great.

[Jay]

Wait, what are you guys talking about? It's amazing.

[Julia]

No, it's huge.

[Natalie]

TV shows are a million dollars in episodes.

[Jay]

Natalie, he shot that for six grand.

[Natalie]

No, no, I'm. No, I'm saying can't just 10x. I'm saying for him, that's amazing.

[Jay]

16X the budget.

[David]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Julia]

That's like. That's really.

[David]

That's what he said, but we'll see.

[Jay]

Wait. This is huge news.

[David]

I know. I couldn't believe it. They. We had a meeting like last week and they were like. They were like, oh, we just do movies.

[Jay]

And I was like, oh, but you were like, but you haven't seen this yet.

[David]

Yeah. No, no, no. And I was like, oh, cool. I was like, well, if. If Naveen and I think of a movie, we'll call you. And then. And then I wrote them an email. It was really funny. I wrote them an email the other day. I said, please, please, please, please, please. No, I wrote them an email. I said, you should. My friend Nick Antonian is making movies. You should call him.

[Jay]

Look at that.

[David]

So I wrote him an email and they wrote back. And they were like, oh, we don't have time for Nick right now, but can you come back in next week and talk about.

[Jay]

Oh, it's karma.

[David]

Yeah.

[Julia]

Wow.

[David]

And they said, can you come back in and talk about the show? And I was very like, oh, yeah, sure. I thought you guys only did movies. And then today we went in and when we walked in, one of the guys just grabbed Naveen's arm. And I didn't see this, but he was like, I'm so excited. I'm so excited. And Naveen was like, what for? Like, why? What? What? And then. And then that was it.

[Jay]

Wow.

[David]

Wait.

[Jay]

Jay, this is wild.

[David]

Jay, this is huge.

[Natalie]

I mean, all you need is like one person.

[David]

That's all you need is one person.

[Natalie]

To believe and buy it.

[David]

You know, you just need one person that's like, oh, yeah, we'll try. Wow.

[Jay]

Dude, can I be in this thing?

[David]

I've asked you to be in it a million times.

[Jay]

I'm like, jay, you know what? Actually, the lighting and everything in that episode was really. I could see myself playing your neighbor.

[David]

I could see you playing the neighbor. You don't want to act?

[Jay]

No, no, no, no.

[David]

Why don't you wanna act?

[Jay]

I'm kidding.

[David]

Wait.

[Jay]

But. Time out. This is really good. Congrats.

[David]

Thanks.

[Jay]

Yeah. Jay, this is 100 grand episode. I don't know why we're just like, just sitting here.

[Julia]

Jay, this is like. It's always been your dream.

[David]

It's my dream.

[Jay]

It's literally your Dream.

[David]

And we did vision boards the other night.

[Julia]

I know.

[David]

And I put it on my vision.

[Jay]

Board and it happened the next day.

[David]

Yeah, it's the same thing that happened when I was with Harry Jowsey. I met Naveen right after.

[Jay]

Wait, what happened with Harry Jowsey?

[David]

I manifested a bunch of stuff with Harry Jowsey. I said, meet the love of my life.

[Jay]

And I. I'm coming over for a vision board. Can we do one more night?

[David]

Why did you come to Vision Board?

[Jay]

I didn't know this is legit. You could just get TV shows out of this. Yeah.

[David]

Why didn't you come? Where were they?

[Jay]

What'd you put on your. Oh, John put Wordle on his vision board.

[Julia]

Yeah, I did put Wordle.

[David]

John put a croissant.

[Jay]

Wow. John put Wordle on his vision board and a croissant.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[Jay]

He mentioned Paris because he thought that was a country today.

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

So that kind of came back and he made me quilt Wordle. So there's a lot going on in life.

[David]

Oh, you missed it. At vision board night, I thought of you.

[Jay]

There's a lot of connections.

[David]

Everybody went. Everybody playing their vision board. And then Jen went up and I have like, I have all this footage of Jen and I was gonna send it to you, Natalie's mom, but it was like a 20 minute clip. But she was. Jen explaining her vision board was crazy.

[Jay]

Oh, my God.

[Natalie]

I can't.

[Julia]

Seriously?

[Natalie]

Yeah, she was crazy.

[Jay]

Did she even use the vision board or she just like opened up a newspaper and tell you why you took it?

[Julia]

No, dude, hers was legit.

[Commercial Voice 1]

Really?

[Julia]

3D. It was like, whoa.

[Natalie]

Yeah, she cut like paper mache things out and like it was like 3D.

[Julia]

Mine literally was like protein snacks. Wordle.

[David]

Mine's not done. I don't want to be rushed.

[Natalie]

Mine was really good. I won.

[Jay]

You can win vision board night.

[Natalie]

Yeah. Can we actually talk about this for a second?

[David]

I'm so sorry, Nat. I'm broke.

[Natalie]

That is first of all, bullshit. You're not that.

[David]

I'll send you something kind.

[Jay]

You're not broke.

[David]

I'll send you something kind.

[Jay]

Million dollars in 10 episodes.

[Natalie]

He gathers all of us. Jason gathers all of us for vision board night. Gets us all excited that there is a winner.

[Julia]

Somebody's going to win to get the grand, you know, grand prize.

[Jay]

Oh, my God.

[Natalie]

We're there for like two and a half, like three hours.

[David]

You're doing.

[Jay]

You guys. Friendship wasn't enough to keep you guys going?

[Natalie]

No, no, no. Definitely not.

[Jay]

No, no.

[Julia]

You got to. You got to Admit, like, they put a lot of work. They had snacks, cut up, fruit pizzas, Giada.

[Jay]

So maybe the prize was the friendship you made along the way.

[David]

No, no, no.

[Natalie]

It wasn't amazing time, but.

[Jay]

No, no, I'm kidding. What was the prize?

[Natalie]

Jason comes out with the prize, and he. And he. I was the winner. And he was like, you're gonna hate this. He's like, I don't even want to give it to you. You're gonna hate it. And I was like, it's fine. Like, I don't care. Just give me the gift. It's a mug. It's like a $5 mug from, like, TJ Maxx.

[Jay]

What did you expect it to be, Natalie?

[Natalie]

I don't, like, a hundred dollars at in kind or something.

[Julia]

He did a $400.

[Natalie]

There wasn't even a gift card in the mug. There was a candy cane and a dollar five people.

[David]

I'm gonna. Three times. I'm gonna send you in kind right now. I do feel bad because I almost did in the moment.

[Natalie]

No, I just thought it was. So I was like, this is.

[David]

It was a 16.99 mug, and David had cocoa in the inside of cocoa mix.

[Jay]

Oh, it's, like, ready to go stuff.

[Commercial Voice 1]

Yeah, yeah.

[David]

You can make hot cocoa with marshmallows right away.

[Jay]

Oh, yeah. Now you're so good.

[Natalie]

No, I don't. I don't need anything. I just thought it was so funny.

[Jay]

That he was hyping it up, dude.

[Julia]

He was like, honestly, there should be no win.

[Jay]

And that. Really.

[David]

I'm going on.

[Jay]

John, you were mad that, like, the entire time you really wanted to win.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Oh, because you wanted. Whatever this. You expected it to be a gift card. I always.

[Julia]

You know, I always play my heart out.

[Jay]

What did you want it to be, like, a hundred dollar gift card?

[Julia]

No, I don't know what the I wanted, but it was just him building up.

[Jay]

Definitely not a mug.

[Julia]

No, definitely not a mug. For sure. But he definitely built it up. I was like, guys, everyone's a winner. You know what? I don't think I should pick a winner. This. This will go to charity. And instead. And I'm like, what? Charity needs a $16 mug? Jay, even if you could split it up between all of us, that was only less than a dollar.

[Jay]

That's kind of crazy that. That John's upset about this mug.

[David]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Well, it must have been, like, I.

[Jay]

Have to beat her thing.

[David]

Once everybody gave their vision boards, it was really hard to, like, crush everyone's dreams and pick a winner.

[Julia]

Yeah.

[David]

Like, price sucks. I was like, let's just not pick a winner.

[Jay]

Like, and the vision board you picked is. Is that the one that becomes true?

[David]

Yeah, whatever's on your board comes true.

[Natalie]

What did you.

[Jay]

But only for the. Only for the winner. Yeah.

[Julia]

Why.

[Natalie]

Why was I a winner?

[David]

Natalie's had the only reason. I picked Natalie because of pleasure. She took the word pleasure from a Newport ad. You know what Newport is?

[Jay]

Yeah.

[David]

It used to be these old cigarette ads. And it would say pleasure.

[Jay]

Okay.

[David]

And they were the hot, hot pink or hot orange. The word pleasure in like 70s letters. So she made that the centerpiece of her visual board. So that was like really eye pleasing pleasure. And also the connotation of pleasure. Like, she didn't know. Like, most people when they read the word pleasure, they think sex. But she didn't mean it that way.

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

[David]

And then she had a cowboy on there. She had Jon Hamm on there. I love Jon Hamm.

[Jay]

Oh, she was just playing at your heartstrings and Newport cigarettes and Jon Hamm.

[David]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was very like, I want to meet somebody based, which pulled at my heartstrings.

[Jay]

Okay. You didn't like John's. I'm hungry for croissant.

[Adam]

Yeah, but no John.

[Jay]

No, no, no.

[David]

Yours had a lot of empty space. Natalie was covered. Like, hers was a collage.

[Julia]

I didn't know you supposed to be covered. Okay, I was. I was putting things I like. Snacks, protein and digestion.

[David]

101 was empty.

[Natalie]

Digestion.

[Julia]

Okay, okay, fine, fine, fine. Forget mine.

[Jay]

But you.

[Julia]

He was also deleting everyone. He deleted Julia's and Susie's because. And. What do you mean delete And Mariah's.

[Natalie]

Remove them from.

[David]

Mariah wasn't there.

[Jay]

What? Maria.

[David]

Maria. Oh, Maria.

[Jay]

Why did he remove them?

[Julia]

Because they all look the same. I'm like, how can you judge that?

[Jay]

That.

[Julia]

That's crazy.

[David]

Natalie formed the pictures and overlaid them in a collage format where. Where stuff was. Theirs was just like, picture, picture, picture, picture, picture, picture.

[Julia]

It was only. It was only Jason that was picking the win.

[Jay]

Now that you struck a million dollar TV show, it's gonna be next year. The gifts for the vision boards are gonna have to be through the roof.

[David]

I gave away $400 the other day.

[Jay]

No money, no problem.

[Julia]

Done it for that one.

[David]

Yeah, I should have given 200 and 200.

[Jay]

Well, regardless, congrats on your show.

[David]

Thanks. We'll see.

[Jay]

This is going to be exhilarating.

[Julia]

It was still fun, Jay. It was still fun.

[David]

Good, good.

[Julia]

And congrats on the show.

[David]

Thanks. I mean, as we know. Did you make screening the other night?

[Julia]

No. What did I do? Oh, no, I went to.

[David]

Oh, you went to my house?

[Julia]

Yeah, I went to your house.

[Jay]

And.

[David]

Why didn't you come?

[Jay]

I was sick. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

[David]

You know, I was complimenting. I was telling someone about your art piece from last time and how much I love it. It was. Naveen's friend was over and I said.

[Jay]

My art piece is still hanging there.

[David]

I have your art piece up in my house. Oh, yeah?

[Jay]

Nice.

[Julia]

I didn't know it was from you too.

[Jay]

You thought it was that good?

[Julia]

I thought it was like, crazy.

[David]

I pulled it out.

[Natalie]

Wait, what?

[David]

I pulled it out and I turned to Alex and John. I was like, do you know who made this? And they're like, who? I told the great story about it. I was like, my friend. My friend. Guys, Dave came over and he made. He painted a canvas all black. And then he picked a rose from my garden and he put it through the center of the canvas. So it's just this black canvas with what is now a dead rose. So it's been years, but the rose is still there. It dried up. And I was like. And my friend's explanation was so beautiful. I was like. He was saying how love. It's here and then it dies. And then it's here and it dies. So I was explaining it to my friend, who's a huge movie director, and he was like, that's really beautiful. And then Alex and John were right there. Did you know who made this? I go. And they go, who? And I go, david. And they go, no. No fucking way.

[Jay]

That guy? Yeah. That's funny.

[David]

You know, I met this psychic the other night and. And his very world famous psychic, his name is James Von Prague and He must be 70 years old, but he was like, really famous back in the day. And I said to him, I go. I go, do you ever just, like, freak yourself out because you, like, have psychic powers? And he goes, oh, my God.

[Jay]

All the time.

[David]

He goes, I'll just be sitting there and I'll be like, oh, my God, what's that?

[Jay]

No, no, no.

[David]

And he's like, yeah, happens all the time.

[Jay]

Wait, where'd you meet this guy?

[David]

At that party? Oh, wow. That was another celebrity I met.

[Jay]

Did you get his number?

[David]

Oh, I was gonna ask. Yeah. Would you want to have him on? Yeah, I asked him. I was like, do you ever do podcasts? And he's like, I do a podcast every week. And I Was like, no, no. Would you come do my podcast? And then he didn't answer me. But my contacts, I could get his number. Yeah, he's been to Doug. Doug's house. He did a. He did a reading at Doug's house when Doug had ghosts in his house and the chair was spinning. I told you this. And he came over and he was like, oh, my God, it's haunted.

[Susie]

We should do that.

[Natalie]

Whoa.

[Jay]

Your neighbor had a ghost in his house?

[David]

My neighbor had a house and it was haunted. And so the people are upstairs, the workers are upstairs fixing a bedroom for the baby that was being born, and a chair goes up on one leg and starts spinning.

[Jay]

No, it doesn't.

[Natalie]

Whoa.

[Jay]

Nope.

[David]

Okay, brother.

[Jay]

I don't believe in ghosts.

[David]

They've all seen it.

[Jay]

Who's they all?

[David]

I mean, the family, they've. They all saw it. The workers. The worker ran out. Like there was some crazy shit. Like, we have Doug on Doug. Doug will tell you. It's insane. I mean, I believe him.

[Jay]

Bring Doug.

[David]

Okay.

[Jay]

Well, okay. So then what happened?

[David]

This is what happened. With what?

[Jay]

So. So then the guy went in there.

[David]

[Jay]

He went into the house and then what happened?

[David]

Oh, he went into the house and he's like, yeah, it's haunted.

[Jay]

Just that? Yeah.

[David]

Like, he can. He can, like, answer spirits and hear spirits and feel spirits and. And then we were at the party and we were like, can you do a reading? And he's like, no, I'm drunk. He's like, when I'm drunk, I. I can't. I can't do any readings. Okay.

[Jay]

No way.

[David]

Well, no, this guy's more renowned, Dave. I mean, he's like, famous. Famous. It's the most world's most famous psychic for. I don't know about now, but, like, definitely in, like, the 80s and 90s, he was the world most famous psychic.

[Jay]

Do you think psychics are real?

[David]

Yeah, I 100% believe people have psychic power. 100%. You want to know something funny?

[Jay]

But, Jay, if that's true, then how do you, like, why do you have such, like, weird, limited views on, like, us being the only people on. In the universe and stuff? And, like, you don't believe in heaven. Like, you don't believe in an afterlife. How can you believe in a Psychic.

[David]

That's a good point. I guess.

[Jay]

You believe Doug's house is haunted, but you don't believe there's an afterlife.

[David]

Well, I believe. I believe Doug.

[Jay]

Like, Doug is your God?

[David]

Yeah.

[Jay]

I don't know about God. I do know Doug. You know Doug backwards is God, right? Doug's name backwards is God. Jason. That's good. It's good.

[Natalie]

That's funny.

[Jay]

We need your.

[David]

We need.

[Jay]

We need your neighbor here asap. Because I think your neighbor. Your neighbor Doug may be God. That's really funny.

[David]

We were talking about James Von Prague yesterday. And because I really liked meeting him, and Naveen was like, oh, my God. He was hitting on me, like, so crazy. I was like, nivian, he's gay. She's like, no, he's not. He was, like, really hitting on me.

[Jay]

Really?

[David]

Yeah. And then we. We. We went online to, like, look it up, and it was so funny. It just said, james Von Prague, openly gay. That's really such a funny adjective.

[Jay]

But I think, like. I think gay guys, especially if. If you don't know they're gay, they're like, especially hitting on you. Right? That's just. A lot of them talk with, like, very high compliments.

[David]

Yeah. Yeah. He was doing, like, little readings on us. Like, he. He did a reading on me. And he was like. He's like, you. You. You have to stop worrying all the time. And then he goes to Naveen.

[Jay]

So funny.

[David]

And he goes to Naveen. And he goes. And you.

[Julia]

You.

[David]

You. You can't fix him. Just let him be. Let him be. And I was like, let him be.

[Jay]

Alone and be with me.

[David]

And then he turned to me and he goes, you. You're broken. You're broken inside.

[Jay]

Damn.

[David]

And he goes, you can't be fixed.

[Jay]

Really?

[David]

We had a time.

[Jay]

Wait.
