Date: August 22, 2025
Hosts: David Dobrik, Jason Nash
Guests: Natalie, John (regular collaborators)

Episode Overview

This episode delves into money, privilege, and inspiration, blending classic VIEWS-style humor with semi-serious debates about wealth, influence, and self-reflection. David and Jason reminisce about awkward celebrity encounters in LA, discuss formative moments from growing up, and — in response to an email — explore who and what has inspired David’s personality. The latter half segues into how wealth shapes perspective, including guilt and motivation around success, comparisons to ultra-rich friends, and whether having immense fortune can (or should) coexist with generosity and self-acceptance.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Awkward Situational Humor & Celebrity Culture in LA

• The group opens with a hilarious incident involving Postmates, flies, and Jason’s lack of situational awareness.

• Jason recounts celebrity run-ins, notably with Larry David ("I had a bad one with Larry David once..." – Jason, 04:49).

• The gang jokes about LA's flexible work schedules, influencer “sightings” (like streamers on go-karts), and how everyone in LA appears to never work regular hours.

  “In LA... it’s weird that it feels like nobody has a job.”
  — David, [09:19]

2. Influences & Building a Personality

• Responding to a listener email, David discusses not having a single idol, but instead pulling from teachers, peers, and pop culture.

• He and Natalie reminisce about adolescent humor and how crudeness was formative (and phase appropriate):

  "My sense of humor will come from, like, my teachers... and then there was a kid who... being a pervert was, like, kind of funny."
  — David, [15:32]

• David’s comedic approach is shaped both by negative and positive examples from his school years.

3. Talking Money: Breaking Taboos

• David explains how his curiosity about money was motivated by growing up without it, observing early YouTubers giving away expensive items, and wanting information about their earnings.

• He credits MrBeast (Jimmy) and the broader YouTuber/streamer culture for making open conversations about money more acceptable:

  "No gatekeeping here... I was so excited about other people's wealth... my eyes were just glistening with opportunity and the possibilities."
  — David, [19:59]

• Jason notes, more traditionally, people get angry or uncomfortable discussing money, but David sees it as motivating and informative.

4. Wealth, Guilt & Generosity

• David launches into an introspective riff about whether he (or anyone wealthy) should feel guilty for not giving away everything:

  "Why am I in a $10 million home when other people are struggling?... If I was truly a good person, I should be living in an apartment and all of it should be going."
  — David, [22:09]

• Jason gently reassures him, raising the example of director Tom Shadyac, who gave away his fortune.

• They discuss the awkwardness and odd legacy of intergenerational wealth, and debate whether inherited affluence is fair:

  “I think it’s bizarre that—yeah, some people are just born into, like, having a fuck ton of money.”
  — Natalie, [24:35]

5. Motivation vs. Resentment

• Jason admits feeling anger at seeing extremely rich kids in LA living lavishly without earning it; David, instead, finds this motivating:

  "If I was a kid and saw those two kids... I would be so motivated as a kid, like, to do that for my kids one day."
  — David, [25:17]

6. The Spectrum of Wealth — Relativity & Extremes

• David shares a story about a friend with 30,000 bitcoins, comparing the feeling of buying a $50 gadget to someone casually purchasing a multimillion-dollar item.

• The crew reflects on childhood schemes to make money (reselling Black Friday TVs), comparing modest gains to vast fortunes (e.g., Alex Hormozi making $84 million in a day):

  “That is quite literally infinity. It’s like, it’s very, very bizarre.”
  — David, [29:51]

7. The Most Opulent Lifestyles

• David and Natalie tour the largest house in LA — a never-ending infinity pool for jet skis, 500 staff, golf under the pool, party palaces — and discuss the difference between attainable motivation and inconceivable wealth:

  “None of it was motivating to me because it’s like... I can’t relate to anything of it.”
  — David, [39:36]

8. Legacy, Afterlife & Absurdities

• A tangent about death, the afterlife, and cinema: Who do you "choose" in the afterlife if you had more than one life partner? Does jealousy follow you to heaven?
• Classic Dobrik/Nash banter about maintaining humor (and crassness) into old age.

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “I just kept making jokes, and she goes, 'how are you getting energy from this?' And I was like, 'I don’t know, but let’s start the pod.'”
  — David, [13:13]

• “I opened my asshole on here for John to look at my hemorrhoids.”
  — David, [18:07]

• “I’ve graduated from coming in my—”
  — David, joking about outgrowing adolescent crudeness, [17:14]

• “Wait, who is that?”
  “You’d like this, Dave. This reminded me of you.”
  — Jason & David, reacting to Alex Hormozi’s $84 million day, [35:13]

• “He has a little boat in the pool that takes you from one another house to the next. Under the pool, there’s an eight-hole mini putt golf course… there are currently 500 staff members working on the house at a time.”
  — David, describing the most excessive home they’d seen, [38:33]

• “Lunch at John and Vinny’s, where I’m seeing 15-year-olds eat… that’s attainable. I’m motivated by that. But if I see a super yacht or this house, there’s no way.”
  — David, [39:47]

Tone & Style

The conversation is playful, irreverent, and honest—a collision of LA absurdity, shameless flexing, and genuine reflection.

Jason just did something stupid, which is pretty normal, but there's a. There was a bunch of flies in the house.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They were flying around. I was complaining about. First of all, I have this whole thing with flies.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If there's any animal that I could wish that they could speak, it's fucking flies. Obviously. Yeah, obviously. Like dogs and cats, Dave. But, like, they're just so fucking greedy and needy and, like, if I could just, like, get my hands on a fly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And just to be like, you tell me what you want and I'll set up a little corner in my house and you can eat. I just don't like that they fly around from food to food and it's never enough for them. Or it's never the right one and they just fucking bother you. I don't understand it. How can they not find one place to hang? How is it that my burrito's being attacked and then that same fly will fly over to Taylor's chick fil a and then back and forth.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, why little. How are they so stupid?

[C]

Their brains are just really.

[A]

Do you like eating the same thing twice? Yeah, but you think they're eating that quickly?

[B]

Dave doesn't do that. He doesn't go over and eat his burrito and then eat Taylor's burrito. He's not a. Yeah, but.

[A]

Yeah. Do you think flies like. Because maybe they don't. They only live for like 24 hours. Some flies. So maybe when they go to mine, it's like it's their breakfast and then it's their lunch and then it's their dinner.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think it's like, time she gets to. They get to Taylor, like, they've aged, like, three years, you know? Yeah, I guess you're right. Now I feel like kind of a dick.

[B]

Yeah. You probably should probably say goodbye.

[C]

Things are only alive.

[B]

I was on his deathbed, probably.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

He had. Like. He just died.

[A]

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here about these flies is they're flying all around the room. And at the same moment, Jason's postmates comes in to the house, walks into the house, which is really weird. Like, all the way into the living room. Sure.

[B]

You know, I'd want to look in here.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. If you know how my house is set up, you have to, like, walk past the first living room and then past the kitchen and into the next living room. And she walks all the way in with the food, and we're all like.

[C]

We're, like, in the middle of the meeting.

[A]

We're, like, in the middle of the meeting, so it's a little bit weird. And then she goes, food for Jason. And I don't think Jason heard her, but at the same exact time, Jason goes, dave, you guys start closing these fucking doors. Because he was referring to the flies.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then this poor woman's like, I'm so sorry. I'm like, no, he's not talking about you. He's not talking.

[B]

And she already was leaving.

[A]

Jason, like, trying to chase her down and be like, I wasn't talk.

[B]

Yeah. And then the minute you start chasing a random woman down, it's like. Then you're in that zone of, like, wait, am I scaring her?

[A]

Totally.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, totally. So. So that was.

[B]

And I had a knife in my hand, you know, I just want to talk. She's trying to cut my sandwich.

[A]

Yeah. So all around. That wasn't the best idea. I feel like that happens to you a lot where you.

[B]

Like, I'm always getting into situations you have.

[A]

I don't want to say this in the wrong way, but you have really bad situational awareness. But also, it's pretty good because you're, like, a funny guy. So it's a little bit of both.

[B]

I tried. I get into bad ones.

[A]

You'll have, like, spacey moments. You do panic, though. You. You. I've said this before.

[B]

Like, sometimes I was good the other night.

[A]

You play. Yeah, you were good the other night, but you play. You play a big game in, like, not being impressed by celebrities. But then I do. Yeah.

[B]

I like.

[A]

You've seen them all.

[B]

But then I think lots of times when you Bring me to a celebrity. I don't. I'm not like my normal self because if I see a celebrity, I will go overboard and say, like, hey, you're amazing. Blah, blah, blah, blah. But I don't do that when I'm with you.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. No, but I'm saying, like. I'm saying, like, I feel on the pod. You're like, you. You're very, like, nonchalant. Like, I've been living in LA 40, 50 years. Celebrities don't impress me.

[B]

I've had lots of bad ones without you two. Like, I had a bad one with Larry David. I had a bad one with Bill Burr.

[A]

I'm scared to ask which one because I don't know which one. You've already told me.

[B]

Yeah, no, I've told them, I think on the pod. But yeah, I had a bad one with Larry David once.

[A]

What was Larry David?

[B]

It's like he was just. We were at, like, some Emmy party and he was all alone.

[A]

Oh, yeah. He said this recently.

[B]

Yeah. And I. And I just was like, oh, my God. I was like, what? But it was like he was a kind of newer to being famous, too.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

So it wasn't like I was going.

[A]

To say now if you do. That's hilarious.

[B]

I would never do that. Now.

[A]

A long time ago, probably one of the most, like, exhausted celebrities ever, Right? Like a guy who probably could not care less about meeting people.

[B]

Oh, you know the worst. The worst.

[A]

No, he's like 80 years old now.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. I would never approach him now. I would never say anything. I would pay to see him, but I would never want to talk to him.

[C]

Yeah, I went to summer camp with Larry David's daughter.

[B]

Oh, yeah, she's really funny.

[C]

One of the daughters. I mean, he has multiple.

[B]

Oh, he has. This one wasn't funny.

[C]

No, no. Well, no, he has a daughter that's like more in the. In the limelight.

[B]

She writes books and stuff.

[A]

JC goes, oh, she's really cool. Natalie goes, not that one.

[B]

I didn't know he had two daughters. I thought I had one.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, that's crazy. You like comedy, John?

[A]

Yeah, a little bit.

[B]

I just.

[A]

I just don't know.

[B]

Who's your favorite comedian?

[A]

Justin? Watch comedians, bro. He's been watching girls dance on his TikTok phone all day.

[B]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.

[A]

First off, that was Sarah Landry. That's different.

[B]

Who's Sarah Landry?

[A]

You keep saying that. You keep saying that. She keeps an EDM artist.

[B]

She's a what?

[A]

EDM Artist.

[B]

Oh, yeah. I thought you said helium artist. It's like, hey, John, this cameo gonna set you on?

[A]

You know, yesterday I had such an l. A moment. It was kind of crazy what happened. You know how I'm always wondering, like, what the fuck does the rest of the LA do? You know, because you just see him everywhere. So wait, wait. Sorry, brother. Just slow that down. You just wait. Did I hear that wrong? I'm munching on an apple, so I may not be able to hear properly.

[C]

He said, what does the rest of LA do? Because you see them everywh.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Which doesn't make sense.

[A]

It doesn't? No. You said it clearer than he did, I think. But now I understand now that you said it. Okay, go, go, go.

[B]

I just blow by it. I just wait for the story to come anyways, so.

[A]

Yes, he goes anyways. Usually at this time, I'm, like, at the lab. I'm like, you know, doing my stuff. Okay, now you have more free time to do, like, so. So, you know, I want to go get lunch. Right? Just, like, down the hill. So I got my. My sushi, like, my avocado roll. And then, like, as I'm leaving, I just see Lacy just on a go kart with a GoPro.

[C]

Oh, yeah, I see them all the time.

[A]

Oh, Lacy the streamer. Yeah, Lacy the streaming, like, faze Lacey. I don't know what it is. Yeah, yeah, it's really funny. Yeah, we. We. Yeah, I see him quite a bit, too.

[C]

Like, I saw him, like, like, twice a week on his little.

[A]

They're always just, like, around in their cars. Yeah, like, dude, he was just by himself. It was just like, whoa. Yeah, I mean, that's like. Yeah, like, phase adapt. You'll see, like, those streamers just, like, kind of running around town. Yeah, it's really fun. It's so funny. Yeah.

[B]

Would you clam up if you had had to talk to them? Like, are you fans of them or would you be cool?

[A]

Yeah, I was like, shout out, Zela. No, I'm kidding.

[B]

Check out my pod. Wait, there was the funniest thing, this funniest exchange between John and David on the last podcast, and I almost sent it to you guys. Let me see if I can play it.

[C]

Yeah, 10:30 is great. That's when everybody else starts.

[A]

Okay, great. Can I request off already? What day? Next Friday. What's next Friday? What is next Friday? What? I don't know what day next Friday is. No, Jay, I'm saying, why are you. Break that down, John. Break that moment Down.

[B]

I was dying editing the podcast. I was like, that's like. That's like Three Stooges humor. Can I have next Friday? Wait, what was it?

[A]

No, it's. Can I have next Friday off? And I go, what's next Friday? And he goes, I don't know. What's next Friday? I mean, it's fucking. It's really. It's really, really craz.

[C]

Really special.

[A]

It's really, really special when you're. Especially when you're here with them. We used to hang out with this, like, really? Dude. Oh, my gosh. We have a friend who's like a pretty big pop star, and she. I mean, anybody that, like, first meets John, I'm always like, just be ready. He's like. He's like. He's very. He's very funny.

[C]

Buckle up.

[A]

He's very, very. Yeah, buckle up. He's very different. People don't really understand. But then when you just sit with him and you hang out with him, you catch on to him very quickly. It's really funny. And, like, I don't know what it is. I don't know what's going on.

[B]

The pop star think it's hilarious.

[A]

Anybody that meets John, loves John.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, John, that you're officially working a job that's not a regular job anymore. Yeah. Like, you were just mentioning how you had your LA moment. Yeah. You saw. You know, you got to go out during the day, which normally you don't get to do. I mean, and like, kind of do I go, I have lunch break. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I get my costume. You know what I'm saying, John? Chicken. Literally, the whole point you were making is what I'm making. All right.

[B]

Right, right.

[A]

Yes. So basically, in la, like, a big thing is that nobody works. Like. Like, there is no. Which is kind of bizarre. I don't know where I, like, I see it on Twitter. I see it online all the time. Like, every time somebody talks about LA is like. It's weird that, like, it feels like nobody has a job.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's very true, because I feel like people work here. Everyone works at random times. So you're either working, like, in the middle of the night, you're working in, like, the earliest morning, working sometime during the day, whatever. Like, and it's just like, you get hired, like, three times a week, like, if you're a model, or four times a week or whatever, or once a week or twice a month, whatever it is. And you do your job and you make rent for the. For the time. So it's very different than having a regular job here. Right. Is that fair?

[C]

Yeah. I mean, it's funny. Like when I drive over here in the mornings, if I drive over here at 8am there's like nobody on the road. It takes me 12 minutes. If I drive over here at like 10:30, 11am it is so packed. It takes me like 20, 25 minutes.

[A]

That's when everyone decides to wake up. Yeah.

[C]

Everyone's like, okay. Ready to get the day going.

[A]

Yeah. It's really, really bizarre. Like, honestly, if you want to experience it, just go to Erewhon and look at come at like 11am there's people there. I mean, I can't imagine like being. I can't imagine being an Erewhon worker. You probably see so many like, fun characters. Like, you see probably every. All of Los Angeles. Yeah. I remember when I was at Ralph's. I've talked about this before, but I saw the coolest celebrity I've ever run into and like the most casual way was probably Bradley Cooper and like one of the like canned goods aisles.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I thought that was. And I was like, at 11:30 at night, it was like the most random time to run into Bradley Cooper. Crazy. Like, why are they shopping you really. They're people I don't think a lot of. I don't know, like, I'm genuine. I'm being genuine. I don't think a lot of people.

[B]

Like, wanted some soup.

[A]

Having assistance.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, really? Yeah. I don't, I don't think it's as like, as like common as like, just because you have money doesn't mean like you necessarily get an assistant. And 11:30, your assistant's not working. So if you want some soup. Yeah.

[B]

I swore off Erewhon.

[A]

Yeah. But then wouldn't you just like doordash it. Doordash soup. Yeah. But some people want to get out of the house also.

[B]

Like, if you're like an actor and stuff like that's part of your job.

[A]

Yeah. Going to like connect with the real world.

[B]

Yeah. Go out, like, do stuff like, who knows, he could have been method right next to Dave. He could have been like pretending to be an astronaut.

[A]

That'd be so funny.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

He could have been in a whole.

[B]

Thing and Dave was just like, oh, there's Riley Cooper. But he's like, what do I do with the soup? How would my character react to Campbell's Chunk? You know?

[A]

Yeah. That is kind of crazy. Have you ever run into an actor.

[B]

Like so many doing.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

Doing method Doing method. Like, have you doing meth? Yeah. When I looked in the mirror. Have I ever run into an actor all method? No, I can't think. I don't think so. I've seen. I've seen plays where in New York with, like, famous people that, you know, are, like, in crazy character. Yeah, they're interesting.

[A]

I want to be in the. I want to be a fly when.

[B]

Like, oh, I'd love to talk to you when Dave. When Dave opens his burrito.

[A]

What the problem, John? Just got the joke.

[B]

There is, like, a bad time suck going around here, though.

[A]

A bad what?

[B]

There's a bad time suck happening in this house. I got here for the. I got here for the pot at 1. We're recording at 3. 20.

[A]

Yeah, I feel bad for you.

[B]

Yeah. When we do that, that's a bad time suck.

[A]

And then that. That's gon say we. No, we do all. We all do that.

[B]

No, Nat's ready to go. Nat gets her butt up.

[A]

I also like to. I like to sit in the living room and talk about the same thing over and over again until I'm amped up enough to do the pod.

[C]

Well, that's the time suck we're referring to, where you're wasting hours of everybody.

[B]

So maybe I need to look at it like that. Maybe I need to be like, all right, I gotta kind of almost like, grease your butt up. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah. Like yesterday I was. Or two days ago when we recorded the pod, I was being really quiet, and I was kind of, like, in my head about stuff. I was just like, sure having anxiety attack.

[B]

Oh, you were.

[A]

And then, like, Natalie, like, came in and, like, I, like, insulted her once, and then that gave me a little bit more energy to insult her.

[C]

Fueled him.

[A]

And then I was just, like, fired up. I stood up and I just started, like, I just started. I kept making jokes, and she goes, how are you getting energy from this? And I was like, I don't know, but let's start the pot. Does it ever feel like you're a marketing professional just speaking into the void?

Jason flagged this one down. Jay, you're a master at finding emails.

[B]

We got a bunch of emails.

[A]

I love when people ask me, what's my email? And I say, I don't have one.

[B]

ViewsQuestionsmail.

[A]

So ever since I started watching the vlogs, I always noticed with things that I say, do, and have passions for more often than not correlate with things that David does. However, I've always deemed myself a very individual and original person. But now I've been sent down the rabbit hole in my mind where idk what's been shaped by David or what's an original thought? To summarize this, I wanted to know, excluding family and friends, that's good that he put that there. Who's a pop. Who's a pop culture figure that's inspired David and has shaped his personality? I don't think there's, like, one person that I've ever, like, held as, like, my, like, creme de la creme. Like, number one person that I want to replicate, but I've always pulled from so many people. Like, there was a kid like. Like, my sense of humor will come from, like, my teachers, like, Mr. Howitt, Mr. Killinger.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And then there was a kid who. This one really stuck with me. There was a kid who, when we were in sixth grade, being a pervert was, like, kind of funny. Was it David? No, it wasn't David. It was, like, the cooler kids. I'm gonna say that, you know. You know who. Natalie's already shaking their head.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. So it's like cooler kids and, like, it was, like, very edgy at the time and ahead of its time to joke about boobs and tits.

[C]

Well, I think it was just, like, we were all starting to, like, figure out we had boobs, tits, and tits.

[A]

That's why I'm saying it was ahead of the time. Like, and I. And I remember, like, that was a moment that, like, I was like, okay. And I kind of adopted that. And I remember, like, really took that.

[C]

One for A long time.

[A]

That's the one I ran with the most.

[B]

So your entire personality is based on an eighth grader?

[A]

No, but like, and then there was this. And then there was this, like, other time this kid made this joke in class.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And like. And the teacher was like, you really think you're. It was very similar to what I got told once, but it was like, you really think you're funny, don't you? Or something like that.

[B]

Yeah, I remember this, but this was.

[A]

This wasn't to me, this was to somebody else. And I remember, like, exactly what they said and exactly the way they acted. I remember I took from that and I was like, I can't ever act like this. So just like, learning from other people was like, very important. But yeah, no, I remember during, like the pervert era, when it was like, big in the sixth grade. I remember what was my big line to you? All the time?

[C]

David used to tell me that he was going to come in my eyeballs.

[A]

Like, what the fuck?

[C]

Two or three times a week.

[A]

Yeah, it was really weird. I don't know why, but that was like a thing.

[B]

I'm gonna get my time machine. My time machine right now.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

It's tomorrow. Hey, why don't we cut the coming the eyeballs part?

[A]

Oh, like when we're editing. Nah, nah, keep it in sixth grade. I don't know say that anymore. But like, I was.

[B]

I don't know why this far worse.

[A]

Graduated. I've graduated from coming. My.

[C]

You evolved. Yeah.

[A]

Somebody asked Ferris the other day, asked in the car. It's like, how is David?

[C]

Yeah. Like, has Ferris, our videographer asked me. He was like, has. How's David changed over the years? Like, is he different? Does he act different? Blah, blah. And I was just like. And I told Ferris that that's what David used to say to me.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

He's like, oh, wow. Yeah, he hasn't really changed. I mean, yeah, it's, you know, I'm working on it.

[B]

Do you think you'll be 50 doing this?

[A]

Of course, yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Yucking around at 50. Yeah, I guess I am.

[A]

So, I mean, like, with my.

[B]

What am I saying?

[A]

With my peers.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Like, like, if you see me, like, on about, like, unless you, like, you've made me really comfortable, like, I'm going to be very, like, top notch, like, button down. Like, I know how to communicate with regular people, but I'm just saying when I'm with my friends.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

We're shooting the shit, like, you know, and the podcast is very much. We're shooting the shit. So the shit that I would say here.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I opened my asshole on here for John to look at my hemorrhoids.

[B]

So, like, obviously we need another. We haven't heard from Golden Globes. I don't know, really. I mean, I was expecting to get some.

[A]

We can check out John's asshole. We can reverse it.

[B]

We're on the wrong platform, I think.

[A]

But in terms of, like, pop culture, who's inspired me? I would just say, like, Pepe Le Pew. I don't know who that is.

[B]

It was just this, like, skunk character, Bugs Bunny's world, that was always, like, love up on women. But he stunk and people would push him away.

[A]

And I'd probably say, like, Conan o'. Brien.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah. The funniest, but also the actual funniest person.

[A]

Conor. Brian's really funny. Yeah. But also back to how I would take things from other people. Like, I've mentioned this before. Like, Tyler, the creator, had a really funny tweet once when I was in, like, when I was sophomore year, and he tweeted where his mom's like, his mom's like, can I drink this expired milk? And he, like, responded back to her saying, like, fuck, no, mom, we're rich now. You don't have to do that shit. Like. And like, that was really funny because that was, like, such a fresh take on being rich. Like, everyone was always so, like, Heidi and, like, I don't want to talk about. I don't want to talk about money.

[B]

I know when I met you, you were always asking me about money, and it was so foreign because I grew up.

[A]

I grew up with none of it.

[B]

Would you make. Would you make on that thing? I'd be like, what? I'm not gonna tell you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But then I began to tell you.

[A]

But that's because, like, I grew up. So I grew up watching YouTubers like White Boy, 7th Street X, Jaws, Seananners, Woody's Gamertag. Like, all these guys, and a lot of times they would give away things on their YouTube channels. They'd give away PlayStations, Xboxes. And as a kid, you're like, these guys are fucking loaded. Like, to give away PlayStations and Xboxes. Like, it just. It doesn't make any sense. Like, I always, always, always was, like, searching through the comments and, like, can someone tell me how much this guy makes? And, like, John, Alex, and all of us would watch these YouTubers. So when I finally had access to, like, being a YouTuber, I was, like, reporting right back I was like, I was like, this is exactly how I'm doing.

[B]

No gatekeeping here.

[A]

No, no. And I always thought that was lame. Like, again, no money in high school and for me to learn about other people's wealth. I was so excited about other people's wealth. Like always. I was like, this is so motivating to know you can make that there's this much money in the world or like these people can make this much money or your life can be like this if you want it to be. Like my eyes were just like glistening with opportunity and the possibilities, like hearing other people. It was inspiring rather. Well, like now when I, when I, like when sometimes people talk about money, it makes other people angry, which I.

[B]

Think it's always made people angry. That's why people don't say it. But the fact that you look at it that way is a really great quality and you're lucky. But most people get, get pissed off.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I was gonna say there's been a current trend now. I feel like they're really open about.

[B]

What they make you're opening yourself up to.

[A]

I think that's like a, like a niche in the Internet. Oh, I think that's like, I think.

[B]

You made that popular.

[A]

I think that's like your streamers and. Yeah, I mean that's like Mr. Beast and like Mr.

[B]

Beast made that popular.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think YouTube, I think Internet cult, I think just more people being able to express themselves made that popular.

[B]

Right. I thought it was interesting when I met Jimmy how similar he was to you.

[A]

MrBeast.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, what do you mean?

[B]

I was shocked. I was like, oh, he thinks just like, David, like, that's really interesting. Yeah, he was funny. He was like into, he was like into YouTube. He got like anything you said, he was like really fast and like he knew anything you referenced and it was cool. Yeah, he's like, oh, they're a lot.

[A]

Alike, all the YouTube references. I was thinking the other day, this is like a really bizarre thought. Not a bizarre thought, but it's like a, you know, like, like this is just like, this is like. It's a question that comes out of guilt.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, it's like, like, you know, like, like, like I'll consider myself to be like, you know, like, I give back, I do all this kind of stuff. Right. But like, why am I in a ten million dollar home?

[B]

Oh, no, no, no.

[A]

I just wanted to go. Here's the egg. Prompt question. No, here's the AI prompt. What? Here's the AI prompt Yeah, like, why am I questioning my life?

[C]

Like your AI and you, your prompt is malfunctioning right now.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Why are you here?

[A]

Like, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, like, why am I in a 10 million dollar home when other people are struggling? Sure. Like, if I was truly a good person, I should be living in an apartment and all of it should be going.

[C]

Like, we should just all be like communists.

[A]

Do you know what I mean? Like, like when I, like when I, when, when I'm judged in the, wherever I'm at.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm going to be like, yeah, like I gave back. I did all this. Like, in my head I'm like, you know, positive person.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

And then so and so will be like, yeah, but you had X amount of money.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you decided to buy a sports car instead of helping Sally and her family. I didn't know Sally and her family. But like, you should have went out there and looked for them. Dave.

[B]

You think there's judgment day coming for you?

[A]

I'm just wondering, like, what's the. There's like a.

[B]

What are you supposed to do?

[A]

In my mind, there's a threshold that I'm not seeing that currently. I've like, in my mind I like go about my day. I'm like, I've hit it. Like, I've done this for this person today. I've done this. Or I've like donated to this charity this week, whatever. Like. So, like, in my mind I've reached that threshold. But like, is it ever enough?

[B]

Like, do you like, like some would say no, right? Yeah, but you can't get into those kind of thoughts in your head because you'll go crazy, right?

[A]

I think I'm going crazy.

[B]

Is it enough for you? That's all that matters.

[A]

Do you know what I'm saying?

[B]

Is it enough for you? Do you think you can be doing more? Do you want to sell your sports car?

[A]

Well, I'm. Well, Corona gave that one to me, so I can't really sell it.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

That's my car.

[B]

How about your other car? I really like that one.

[A]

What about the other?

[B]

The Aston Jay, Come on.

[A]

You know what I mean.

[B]

Your mom car.

[A]

Do you know what I mean? I feel weird talking about it. Does it feel like. It feels bizarre coming out of my mouth.

[B]

Well, there was a. There was a famous director who directed Ace Ventura and Tom Shadiak was his name and he gave away everything. He gave away all his worldly possessions, Got to the height of comedy directing, and he Gave it all away. And there's a documentary about it. And he's like, I don't want anything. I want to give everything. I don't need anything.

[C]

You know what I think is kind of funny? Let's say like, you've amassed a certain amount of success, right? Let's say you have, you die and you have $10 million and you give it off to your kids. And now your kids are like, sad. I just think that's such an interesting thing where like, where you don't give away everything. Like you just have your stuff and you hand it off to the next person and then they just get to like go ham. They don't have to like start the bottom and like work. Some people like, some people just have.

[B]

It's a good point.

[C]

Something set.

[B]

You're gonna have something for your kids, which is nice.

[A]

Automatically, she's saying it almost backwards. She's saying, well, yeah, she's saying what you're saying, but she's saying that she. You find that bizarre.

[C]

I think it's bizarre that like. Yeah, some people are just born into like having a fuck ton of money.

[B]

Oh, nothing pisses me off more, more than when I go to a restaurant in LA and I see like two 15 year old kids having dinner. I get so pissed. I get so mad.

[A]

But wait, why, Jay?

[B]

Because I'm like, I can't believe these fucking kids are at a nice restaurant. This is not. This is ass.

[A]

But that's just. But, but that. Dude, if I, but if I was a kid, if I'm now or if I was a kid, that would fuel the out of me.

[B]

I would be like, those kids aren't in John and Vinny's. That's what I'm saying.

[A]

What do you mean aren't in, John?

[B]

The rich kids are there.

[A]

You're not gonna rub off on you.

[B]

Wait, wait, wait. What are you saying? You're saying?

[A]

I'm saying if I saw, if I was walking by on the street of Beverly Hills and I saw those two kids.

[B]

Oh, you're walking by. Okay.

[A]

Yeah, if I was walking by, I would be like so motivated as a kid, like to do that for my kids one day, I'd be like, damn, like these kids get to enjoy food. That I've never been able to tell. Like my parents couldn't even take me to John and Benny's house.

[B]

Yeah, but it's not good. It's just not good. Like, listen, I'm guilty of it. I've flown my kids first class.

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

The Fucking dumbest thing I've ever done.

[A]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[B]

The dumbest thing I've ever done.

[A]

Hold on. It's a completely different. It's a completely different argument of whether or not it's good for your kids. So that's how I'm arguing. I'm just arguing like. Like, why you get upset. Like, you have nothing to do with it.

[B]

Because it's just kind of like they shouldn't be there.

[A]

Oh, okay. Sorry. In that way, I get that.

[B]

They should wait. They should. They're making their own money. And they can go to John and Vinny, the nice rest.

[A]

Sorry. I get it.

[B]

And Charlie will do it, too. I'll see, like, a charge on my phone. She'll be at John and Vinny. So I'll be like, what the fuck are you doing at John? I don't go to John and Vinny's.

[A]

You have, like, a weird thing against John and Vinny's.

[C]

Why are you.

[B]

Great. Great pasta. Nothing against John and Vinny's, but. But. But, yeah, it's one of those restaurants that's expensive and. Anyways, sorry I. I sidetracked you.

[A]

No, no, no, no. That. That. That makes sense, I guess. I don't know.

[B]

But, David, you listen. You are a good person. I mean, you. You fucking open up this house to everybody. People come here and play pickleball all day. I see strangers walking through. That's why when I saw the postma, it's another one of Dave's friends, I didn't think anything of it.

[A]

Well, that's actually so.

[B]

That's great.

[A]

Well, that's why I. That's why I've always wanted to do this. Always wanted to get this house. Always wanted to, like. Like. Yes. There are 60 to 80 people that walk through here a day, and I love it. Like, I love new people getting to experience this.

[B]

Because that's, like, no one's gonna say that about you when you get to heaven.

[A]

No, I know, but I'm just saying.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

But I'm just saying, like, I'm not even speaking on.

[B]

You're next to Hitler.

[A]

Me. Wait a minute, man. I opened up the old pickleball court.

[B]

I let Jay come work out whenever he wanted. I gave Jason $6,000 for his violin. That was a dumb financial move, Dave.

[A]

No, but. But, like, I'm saying, like, I'm even, like, going deeper than that. I'm not even saying, like, my own guilt necessarily. I'm saying, like, everyone that comes through this house. Yeah, it's is privileged one way or another than other people in the world.

[B]

Oh, man, I can't wait till you start telling everybody that in a couple of years, you know? You know, we're all privileged.

[A]

No, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm just having a conversation because we're on a pod. I'm not going to.

[B]

But people do turn that way when they get older. They do turn that way sometimes.

[A]

They'll be like, I'm just saying, like, there's other countries that don't have roofs over their head. And, like, I'm going as far as, like, not only should I not have this house, but all my friends, all their friends that come and visit shouldn't even have access to this place because it shouldn't exist. Oh, like we should be helping communists. I don't know. I don't know.

[B]

I don't want to, I don't want to go communist.

[A]

I don't want to sound preachery here. And like.

[B]

No, it's, it's an interesting topic. John, what do you think? Think John's like, please don't move. I like it here.

[A]

Yeah. What do you think, John?

[B]

I like seeing Lacy, Don at Erewhon.

[A]

Guys, when John doesn't say anything, it's because he's thinking. I mean, it's just interesting. I mean, I, I, I don't, I don't really. I don't know why you even have that kind of thought if you're having those thoughts. What about the rest of the people that are worth, like, an extra zero than your name?

[B]

Yeah, like somebody that has, like, a $100 million yacht.

[A]

Yeah, like, like that's what I'm saying. An extra zero. I also, at the same time, I'm thinking like this. If someone has $100 million. Yacht. Yacht. I'm not the person that's like, right. Why do you have 100 million? Yeah. I'm not the person that's gonna kill this person.

[B]

We know. You're the person that's trying to get out there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Literally.

[A]

Yeah. I'm like, invite me, Me and my three friends come to your yacht. Invite me for one fun night, and then we gotta shut this shit down.

[B]

What's somebody who, like a rich person? You've come across that. You were like, oh, damn. Like, this is this is it.

[A]

Like, they're too rich.

[B]

Yeah. Like, for example, like, I once saw a place in Santa Barbara that was like a beach house, and now it's like, this is it.

[A]

Oh, we have that guy. We have A guy who worked on, like the biggest blockbuster movies. He had a house in Malibu. It burned down. Oh, and this is really interesting. His house burned down. Like a $20 million house. He called me to see if I'm okay, and I'm like, yeah, I'm good. Like, I'm in Sherman Oaks. And he goes, okay, well, the fires are moving that way. If you need, if you need a place, we have another place in Calabasas.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

So, like, I thought that was crazy. Like, just burned down.

[B]

Yeah, Yeah.

[A]

I know you're very wealthy, but that's still. That was like. So that was like, holy. He's offering me his fourth or fifth house here while I'm like, really far. Not really far. Pretty far from the fires.

[B]

That guy's getting into heaven.

[A]

I thought that. I thought that was pretty sweet. But yeah, I think like the richest friend I've ever had is definitely my friend who owns 30,000 bitcoins. Like, that's like. That is an ungodly amount of money. Where it's like, it is.

[B]

Does he have something that you were like, wow, is it like a house or helicopter? You're like, jay has everything.

[A]

It's anything he sees. Like, I'll. This is where my wealth goes, which is fucking kick ass. I'm so lucky for it. Like, anytime I see anything on TikTok that lights up or spins, I don't think twice. I don't think twice. If it's under, I'll even go $50 to $100 range. I don't think fucking twice. I go, this is sick. I need to see this. I need to see the person. I need to see if it works. But him, it's like, like him. It's like something comes on the auction block. It's $4.8 million. It's like, it's, it's. It is the exact same for him as me buying something for $15. It's the exact same. It's so much money. It is quite literally infinity. It's like, it's very, very bizarre. Yeah, I go ham too, in the dollar store.

See mintmobile.com do we ever spend money on anything crazy as kids? Like John, what's like the thing that we would splurge on Wendy's. But bro, I know, I know. Wendy's is.

[C]

No, you guys would like save up all year for a TV on Black Friday. That was like. If I could like think of something.

[A]

That was work, brother. We were reselling those tv. Yeah, we were. Yeah, we were reselling printers. Yeah, we were reselling whatever. That was funny because we wanted to enjoy our tv. We had no time for joy, brother. We were trying to make ends meet so we could get the Wendy's chili and chicken nugget combo.

[B]

How would you resell it? On Craigslist?

[A]

Yeah, anywhere. The TVs were so cheap.

[B]

Cheap TVs 99 bucks. You resell it for 200.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. You buy it for two pretty much.

[B]

And you wait in line overnight.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. You wait in a ten.

[B]

Cold.

[A]

Freezing. Yeah, freezing. So bring my tent. Chicago. It's free.

[B]

And then that rush when the doors open. Is it a rush?

[A]

It was maybe one year. One year. Yeah. Until they put an end to it. And then. Then everyone got tickets. Yeah. And then two years after that they just stopped doing it. Yeah. Every year it got. Because people were like dying and getting hurt from the rushes. Yeah. Like Walmart oh my God. Walmart was like all. Yeah, well, yeah, people trampled in trample.

[B]

Yeah. Sorry, I was laughing.

[A]

So, so, like. So. Yeah. It got to the point where they were giving tickets and then it got to a point where you can't line up. Yeah.

[B]

Damn. Imagine dying over a flight.

[A]

And I remember too, like they kept pushing back because like whoever. They kept pushing back the hours. Yeah. That was fucking whack. Like they would start at like 7pm on Thanksgiving Day because like they wanted to be the first store. I was like, dude, that's so messed up. Yeah. It used to be like, you wait till the store opens at 5am yes. So after Thanksgiving dinner you would go, you'd pitch up your 10 at like 7pm Probably. Yeah, 7, 8. 7, 8pm yeah. You'd start there, you'd wait till it opens at 5am but then it got to where the stores were just open throughout the entire night.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

So it was just like no one lined up or anymore. Or nothing. I remember one year we were there and John and I were so jealous of this guy because obviously we're in line to try to make money. And this guy comes, he's also like a younger guy, comes selling coffee to everybody from the Dunkin Donuts across the street. Everyone in line. And we're just like.

[B]

Because it was good. People were buying it.

[A]

Of course. Yeah. You're in that line for eight, nine hours.

[B]

Cream and cheese.

[A]

Okay. It's like water freezes. Yeah, no, it's freezing and you're. Yeah, yeah. It's not, it's not fun.

[B]

He probably made the same that you made on the TV though, 100 bucks.

[A]

Yeah, but his was like, he wasn't out there fucking freezing his ass off. But it was also nice. Not nice, but it was also funny to like have people drive by.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And like take videos of you. Like you were like some like caged animal. Cuz it's pretty pathetic that you're standing outside a store.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like my parents thought it was the stupidest thing. My parents were like, you're a fucking idiot for doing that. I'm like, what? I'm like like so much cash. But like they didn't get it at all. And like you do have the people drive by, take videos of you and then they roll up the window and they laugh. I get it, I get it. But there was such a thrill about it that like just made the sport so fun.

[B]

Did you hear Alex Hormozi made $84 million in one day?

[C]

I did hear that.

[A]

What?

[B]

Absolutely Incredible.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Wait, who is that?

[B]

You'd like this, Dave. This reminded me of you. It's. He's. He's like a motivational kind of.

[C]

Yeah, he's an entrepreneur. Entrepreneur.

[B]

And he's.

[C]

He sells essentially like programs about to have a successful business. How to take your business from 100 bucks to.

[A]

Wait, like stocks? No, like a masterclass.

[C]

No.

[A]

Masterclass on what? Just like life and how to be positive.

[B]

How to get leads, how to, you know, build a business, how to make.

[A]

Your business from like 0x to 10x. Okay.

[B]

Anyways, he wrote a book called like the Hundred Million Dollar Deal or something like that. He had a nine hour live stream on YouTube and you could buy the book for $30 or you could pay him $6,000 and get 200 copies of the book. And one of the things you could do is, oh my God, give it out to people. You can resell that book. And then also, not only that, but packaged all these levels of value that you got. So you get like, you get an AI trained. What's it? Mln. Is that what it's called? Yeah, you get it. You get like courses, you get all this stuff. And he made $84 million in one day. Incredible.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

But I just thought it was so like. And everything I read about it, it's like, yeah, he just gave so much value that people were like, fuck. Yeah.

[A]

That feels like the equivalent to like a clipper for streams.

[B]

How so?

[A]

Well, it feels like like the main person, person, Alex, in this situation. Or like a Kaisenak gives you the stream.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And then you could take stuff from it.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And make your own money.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

That feels like the equivalent to like a physical actual transaction where like you apply in the rule. That's really sick.

[B]

And he'll also sell the books back for you. So if you pay the 6,000, you can say, okay, you can just sell the books for me and then you get the money. Isn't that weird?

[A]

What do you mean you could sell the books for me?

[B]

You could basically like, let's say it was you. The books go to Natalie and Taylor and they have a whole system where they'll, they'll. They'll sell the books themselves and then you get like a check.

[C]

You're like fronting the money.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Huh. And it was like, well received.

[B]

I mean, yes, like really well received on Tick Tock. Like glowing reviews and 84. 84 million in one day.

[A]

Anyways, no one show that kind of money. That's where you draw the line. Anyone who makes more money than me. That's right. That is disgusting. Yeah. Damn. That's really sick. Congrats to him. That's not even motivating. That's just like.

[B]

I know, it's like. It is motivating a little. I mean you could figure it out. It's not motivating. I know why you say that. Because it's like I could never.

[A]

Yeah, no, no. I had the exact same thought. We got to Natalie and I got to tour a house. Yeah, that's not. I haven't posted about it yet. No one's seen it. It's about to be finished, being built in like a month or two. It's the biggest house in la and like.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

And like done so beautifully. Like the finishes, the activities there. Basically there's an infinity PO goes all around the house that you can jet ski. This is 100 like 260 degree views of Los Angeles. Wow. Like parts. And if you live in la, you know where this house is because you've seen it, it's ginormous. You could jet ski in the pool. He has a little boat in the pool that keeps. It's an infinity pool and he has a little boat that takes you from one another house to the next. Under the pool there's an eight hole mini putt golf course. There's pickleball, there's padal. Currently there's new build, new build, brand new build. And never will there be a house this big again. In a house la. Yeah, they have a. There's obviously a nightclub in there and they're working on it. And they have this room right now that's just being used as like staff area where staff has lunch and There are currently 500 staff members working on the house at a time.

[C]

In the kitchen area they had like a whole wall of microwaves so that like there was like 100 microwaves on a wall because all the staff are like microwaving their lunches.

[A]

It's crazy to build one house surprise what's already sold. I don't know how much it's going to cost.

[C]

I mean he just built it himself.

[A]

He built it himself for himself.

[C]

He bought like four plots of land, demolish homes and built his monster in.

[A]

A really, really beautiful spot. And for the vlog. Huh?

[B]

You film it for the vlog.

[C]

It's not done.

[A]

It's not done. But I'm going to go try to film in two months when it's done. It's stunning. And this guy's really interesting. He's like a really Older guy, and he does nothing but invite people over. Like, he just. He just likes. He builds these houses. He doesn't even live in them. He's. There's like four or five of them that he owns. They're very famous houses. I don't want to say their names, but. But, like, they're all over the city. There's one in Miami, there's one in Palm Springs for Coachella. There's one in LA right now. This is the second one in la. And they all have these, like, famous names in LA where they just throw parties.

[B]

But is he happy?

[A]

David, I don't think it matters at this point.

[B]

I'm kidding.

[A]

No, I know.

[B]

I wanted you to be like, fuck, yeah.

[A]

But why I say this is because Natalie and I walked in it and like, it was just like. I was like, this is insane. But none of it was motivating to me because it's like I can relate to anything of it. Like, do you know what I mean?

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

And I think that would have happened even if I, like, even if I was a kid and had all the fucking gas in the world. I'd be like, what is this? Actually, I think I would have demotivated me as a kid. Lunch at John and Vinny's, where I'm seeing 15 year olds eat lunch at John Vinny's. That's attainable. I'm motivated by that. But if I see a fucking super yacht or this house, there's no way, as a kid I'd be able. I'd be like, what? Yeah, I don't. I don't think anybody can process like that.

[C]

I don't think anybody that actually, like, attains that sort of wealth starts off being like, oh, I'm gonna be a billionaire, or whatever it is.

[A]

A lot of people do.

[C]

No, I know you're like, they're obviously successful people, but I don't think you. I don't think anybody anticipates. Well, I guess maybe like Apple or somebody.

[B]

John, you hit the Powerball tonight. What do you do?

[A]

I buy a bigger house for all of us to live in. Would you actually.

[C]

You would do that? There's no way. John, I know what you would do. You go buy a cabin on the lake and you'd leave and you'd fish every day.

[B]

Wait a min. Is that true? Is that what you want to do? You want to go fish in a cabin?

[A]

I love fishing. I haven't fished yet during work hours. I haven't had time, but I will do it. But it Will happen.

[B]

It's really a real slave driver.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

When you're on the couch for two and a half hours today with me.

[A]

Yeah. I think he has to adjust to what working here is like.

[B]

Yeah. Are you giving him stuff to do late at night now?

[A]

He's going to have a talk with him today about what actual work needs to be done. I feel like I've been doing it already.

[B]

What did you do today? What you accomplished today.

[A]

Oh, today? No, I was doing for Zilla.

[B]

Oh, Fazila, that's your business. You own that business.

[A]

So Brooke, one of our assistants, sends out, like, a message every night. She sends a message out saying what the schedule is like tomorrow. So last night there was like six things on the schedule. Schedule. And after everything, in parentheses, it says Natalie or David and Nat or just Brooke or whatever. You know what I mean? And it. It never says Taylor because Taylor's just here from. Taylor doesn't necessarily have a schedule. She's just here with me all day, and we're doing snaps and we're doing whatever. And that's same with John right now. So John saw that schedule because he just got entered into the group chat and John Taylor texted me this. John turtle goes, tay, does this mean we're off the hook? And Taylor goes, john, we're never off the hook.

[B]

I love when Taylor's funny.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So wait, did you hear that real quick? The new Timothee Chalamet movie about ping pong, which is awesome. Love, love, love Timothee Chalamet. Very excited for anything he does. Kevin o' Leary is in the movie.

[C]

Yeah, I saw that.

[A]

Isn't that odd?

[C]

But he's playing like a businessman. Like, he's playing like, Kevin O', Leary.

[B]

The guy from Shark Tank is in the A24 movie. It's odd. Like, there's a lot of actors out there.

[A]

Yeah, bro. It's a 24. What are you talking about, Dave?

[B]

You don't think that that's odd that he cast Kevin o', Leary, who's not an actor, in a Timothy Chalamet movie?

[A]

A24 is literally a24 at Josh Richards in their movie. That's like in the Nicholas Cage movie. But it's Kevin o', Leary, bro.

[B]

Josh Richards is a young kid who's, like, trying to act like that sense makes. Makes sense.

[C]

Maybe Kevin's trying to, like, maybe.

[A]

Maybe.

[B]

I told him, damn, someone has a.

[A]

Bone to pick with Kevin o'. Leary. I hope poor Kevin o' Leary is not listening to this.

[B]

I like Kevin o'. Leary, I think he's great. But I was watching. I was like, oh, damn, shallow, man. It's me. Sick. And then I was like, Shark Tank pulled me right out of it. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, that seems like so normal to me.

[C]

I mean, I agree with that sentiment. When you cast any sort of, like, celebrity or influencer in something, it can like, kind of pull you out of it.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

They're so well known for some. But at the same time, it's like he is kind of like leaning into his own character in real life.

[B]

And then you got to think too, like, it's probably. It's gotta be great if he. If they're doing it. Timothee Chalamet, it's probably a great performance.

[A]

Did you see that new A24 movie? This is actually. I think it's A24. It's basically this woman that dies and then it's her husband that also dies or something. I don't know. Anyway, she's in, like, this, like. Like holding area. It's like a train station. Oh, yeah. And you have to decide where you want to go to your afterlife. And while you're. The train station, you get to decide. And when she's in the train station, her husband comes up to her and she's. And he's like, are we going to live happily forever after? Whatever. But at the same time, her other ex husband that died 30 years before comes up to her too. And he's like, I'm here. I've been waiting for you. I haven't left this train station because I've been. Oh, my God, I've been waiting to go to, like, forever and ever after with you. So now this person has to decide who. This girl has to decide who she's gonna go with. Like her old husband or her current husband. I think that's such a good idea. Every time I think about heaven, I think about that.

[B]

Like, that's like Naveen porn.

[A]

Yeah. Like, that's crazy.

[B]

A good movie.

[A]

Well, how does that actually work? Yeah, that, like, stresses me out to the fucking. Think about.

[B]

Think about the two loves of your life. And now you have to choose if you had to.

[A]

But I. Okay, like, if I'm answering it honestly, I don't think there will be. I don't think those emotions will exist where we go. Like, I don't think we'll be plagued with that decision. I think I'm thinking very optimistically, but that just. It doesn't make any sense to me. And I don't think we're Also, we're. Also, I don't think we're going to be humans. I think it's going to be like your soul's going to take a different shape or form. I don't know if you'll be like.

[B]

I always think about that. Like, if Natalie married somebody and he died and then 10 years later she marries somebody else. Are you like always kind of thinking about the dead person? Do you like the second person better than the first person?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean? Like you don't know.

[A]

And then exactly. Like when you die. Like if I'm on my deathbed with Natalie.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And her husband died 20 years ago and now Natalie and I have aged and we're like 90 years old, both about to go out Titanic style, holding each other. My last thought is, I hope she chooses me in about five minutes when we die. Like in five minutes after we die, I'm gonna figure out if there is somebody there waiting for her and it's gonna stress me the out.

[C]

Right?

[A]

Like that would stress me out. My final moments on Earth, I'd be like, babe, you still love me, right? We've been married together for 30 years. You're not gonna go back to, to Richard, right? He died 30 years ago.

[B]

You'd be fine. You'd figure it out.

[A]

We'll see. I hope jealousy doesn't go to heaven. I hope they keep that out. All right, guys, thank you for joining us. Thanks, John, for joining us. Go listen to the what? Oh yeah, you have a podcast. The Heavyweights podcast. Zela Heavyweights podcast. Yes. Yes.
