The Richest Person I Know

What's up guys, welcome back to Views! I'm here with Jay, Nat, John. It's good vibes here. Jason just did something stupid, which is pretty normal, but there was a bunch of flies in the house. They were flying around. I was complaining about them. First of all, I have this whole thing with flies. If there was any animal that I could wish that they could speak, It's fucking flies. Yeah, obviously. Yeah, obviously.

Like dogs and cats.

Cool, Dave.

But like, they're just so fucking greedy and needy.

And like, if I could just, like, get my hands on a fly.

Yeah.

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 fucking hang? How is it that my burrito is being attacked? and then that same fly will fly over to Taylor's chick fil A and then back and forth?

Yeah.

Like, how are they so fucking stupid?

Dumb flies. Their brains are just really.

Do you like eating the same thing twice?

Yeah, but you think they're eating that quickly?

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.

Yeah.

Do you think.

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 a breakfast, and then it's their lunch and then it's their dinner.

Yeah.

He's like, they get to Taylor, like, they've aged, like, three years, You know, I guess you're right.

Well, fuck, fly.

Now I feel like kind of a dick.

Yeah, you probably were. She's probably saying goodbye. He was on his deathbed, probably. Yeah, yeah, he had like— he just died.

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 into the house, walks into the house, which is really fucking weird, like all the way into the living room.

Sure, I'd want to look in here.

Yeah, 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, uh, we're in the middle of a meeting. We're in the middle of a 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 got to start closing these fucking doors. Because he was referring to the flies. 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 about you.

And she already was leaving.

Jason tried to chase her down and be like, I wasn't talking about you.

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?

Totally.

Yeah, totally. And I had a knife in my hand.

I just want to talk.

I was just trying to cut my sandwich.

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

I'm always getting into situations.

You have— 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.

I try. I get into bad ones.

You'll have like spacey moments. You do panic though. I've said this before, like, sometimes you play the other night, 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, I like, you've seen them all.

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, blah. But I don't do that when I'm with you.

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

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

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

Yeah, I've told them, I think, on the pod. But yeah, I had a bad one with Larry David once.

What was Larry David?

He was just— we were at some Emmy party and he was all alone.

Oh, yeah. I think you said this recently.

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

Oh, okay.

So it wasn't like—

Now, my dad would never do that. No. A long time ago.

Probably one of the most exhausted celebrities ever, right? Like, the guy who probably could not care less about meeting people at this point.

Oh, we know. The worst. The worst.

No, he's like 80 years old now.

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.

Yeah.

You know I went to summer camp with Larry David's daughter?

Oh, yeah? She's really funny.

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

Oh, he has multiple?

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

She writes books and stuff.

Oh, she's really cool. Now he goes, not that one.

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

Yeah, yeah.

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

Yeah, a little bit.

I just, I just don't know.

Who's your favorite comedian?

John doesn't watch comedies, bro. He's been watching girls dance on his TikTok phone all day.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.

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

Who's Sarah Landry?

You keep saying that. You keep saying that. She's an EDM artist.

She's a what?

EDM artist.

Oh, yeah. I thought you said helium artist.

It's like, hey, John, this Cameo gonna set you on.

You know, yesterday I had such an LA moment. It was kind of crazy.

What happened?

You know how I was like, I'm always wondering like, what the fuck does the rest of the LA do? You know, because you just see them everywhere.

So wait, wait, sorry, brother. What? 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.

He said, what does the rest of LA do because you see them everywhere?

Oh, okay.

Which doesn't make sense.

It does make sense. No, you said it clearer than he did, I think. But now I understand now that you said it. Okay, go, go, go.

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

Anyways, so yes.

He goes, anyways, zero.

Yeah, because usually at this time I'm like at the lab. I'm like, you know, doing my stuff.

Oh, okay.

Now you have more free time to do like—

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, so, you know, I want to go get lunch, right? Just like down the hill. So I got my sushi, like my avocado roll. And then like as I'm leaving, I just see Lacey just on a go-kart with a GoPro.

Oh yeah, I see them all the time.

Oh, Lacey the streamer.

Yeah, just Lacey the streamer, like FaZe Lacey.

I don't know what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really funny. Yeah, we— yeah, I see him quite a bit too.

Like I see him like twice a week on his little go-kart.

They're always just like around in their cars.

Yeah, like streaming.

Dude, he was just by himself. It was just like, whoa.

Yeah, I mean, that's like— yeah, like FaZe Adapt, you'll see like those streamers just like kind of running around town.

Yeah, it's That's so funny.

Yeah.

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

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

Shout out to Possums.

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

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

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 sick.

I'm—

break that down, John. Break that moment down.

I was dying editing the podcast. I was like, that's like— that's like Three Stooges humor. Next Friday? Wait, what was it?

No, it's, can I have next Friday off? And I go, what's next Friday? He goes, I don't know what's next Friday. I mean, it's fucking— it's really— it's really, really crazy.

It's really special.

It's really, really special when you're— especially when you're here with them. We used to hang out 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 Jon, I'm always like, just be ready. He's like, he's like, he's very, he's very funny. 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.

What did the pop star think?

It's hilarious. Anybody that meets John loves John.

Yeah.

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, I kind of do. I go, I have lunch break.

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah.

I get my coffee. You know what I'm saying, John? Chicken. Literally the whole point you were making is what I'm making. Oh, right, right, right.

Yes.

So basically in LA, like a big thing is that nobody works. 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, every time somebody talks about LA, it's like, it's weird that like, it feels like nobody has a job.

Yeah.

And it's very true. 'Cause 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 3 times a week.

Like if you're a model or 4 times a week or whatever. Yeah.

Or once a fucking week or twice a month, whatever it is.

Mm-hmm.

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?

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

That's when everyone decides to wake up.

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

Yeah. It's really, really bizarre.

I always go like, honestly, if you want to experience it, just go to Irwan and look at— come at like 11 a.m. 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 and like, 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 in like the most casual way was probably Bradley Cooper in like one of the like canned goods aisles. Yeah, 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.

That's so 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 like—

wanted some soup—

having assistants.

Yeah.

Oh, really? Yeah. I don't— I don't think it's like as 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, I swore off Air One.

Yeah, but then wouldn't you just like DoorDash it?

DoorDash soup?

Yeah.

Yeah. But some people want to get out of the house also.

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

Yeah, going to like connect with the real world.

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.

That'd be so funny.

You know what I mean?

Like, he could have been in a whole thing and Dave was just like, oh, there's Bradley Cooper.

But he's like, oh, what do I do with the soup? How would my character react to Campbell's Chunky?

You know? How would my character?

Yeah, that is kind of crazy. Have you ever run into an actor?

So many.

Doing method?

Doing method?

Like heavy meth?

Doing meth, yeah. When I looked in the mirror.

Well, great.

Have I ever run into an actor all method? No, I can't think. I don't think so. I've seen plays where in New York with famous people that are in crazy character.

Yeah.

They're interesting.

I want to be a fly when—

Oh, I'd love to talk to you.

When Dave opens his burrito.

I want to be a fly. Yeah, what the fuck's your problem?

John just got the joke.

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

A bad what?

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

Yeah, I feel bad for you.

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

And then that's gonna say we—

no, we do all— we all do that, as you know.

No, that's ready to go. Not— not gets her butt up.

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

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

So maybe, 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?

Yeah, like yesterday, yes, 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.

Oh, you were?

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. And then, and then I was just 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 pod. We got an email for the pod. Jason flagged this one down. Jay, you're a master at finding emails.

We got a bunch of emails.

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

viewsquestions@gmail.com.

So ever since I started watching the vlogs, I always notice 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 I don't know 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'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, crème de la crème, 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.

Okay.

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. Do you know? 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.

Yeah.

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

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

That's why I'm saying it was ahead of its time. Like, 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 one for a long time.

That's the one I ran with the most.

So your entire personality is based on an 8th grader?

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

Yeah.

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.

Yeah, I remember this.

But this was, this wasn't to me, this was to somebody else. And I remember I just 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. Um, But yeah, no, I remember during like the pervert era when I was like big in the 6th grade. I remember what was, what was my big line to you all the time?

David used to tell me that he was going to come in my eyeballs like 2 or 3 times a week.

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

I'm going to get in my time machine right now.

Okay.

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

Oh, like when we're editing? Nah, nah, keep it in. 6th grade. I don't say that shit anymore, but like I was.

Yeah. I don't know why.

That's far worse.

I graduated. I graduated from cutting my eyebrows.

You've evolved.

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

Yeah, Ferris, our videographer, asked me, he was like, how's David changed over the years? Is he different? Does he act different? Blah, blah, blah. And I told Ferris that that's what David used to say to me. He was like, oh, wow. Yeah, he hasn't really changed. I mean, yeah.

I'm working on it.

Do you think you'll be 50 doing this?

Of course.

Yeah, yeah.

100%.

Yucking around at 50? Yeah, I guess I am. So I mean, like, what am I saying?

With my peers?

Sure.

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

Yeah.

I mean, I open my asshole on here for Jon to look at my hemorrhoids.

So, like, obviously we need another— we haven't heard from Golden Globes.

I don't know.

Really?

I mean, I was suspecting this.

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

We're on the wrong platform, I think.

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.

It was like, it was just this like skunk character.

Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes.

That would always like love up on women, but he stunk and people would push him away.

And I'd probably say like Conan O'Brien.

Oh yeah, yeah, the funniest. But also the actual funniest person.

Conan O'Brien is 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— yes, 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 I 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.

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

I grew up with none of it.

What'd you make?

What'd you make on that thing?

I'd be like, what? I'm not gonna tell you. Yeah, but then I began to tell you.

But that's because like I grew up— so I grew up watching YouTubers like Whiteboy7thStreet, xJaws, Cnanners, 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. And like, I always, always, always was like searching through the comments. I'm like, can someone tell me how much this guy makes? And like, John, Alex, and I 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 feel.

No gatekeeping here.

No, 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.

Me, which I 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 pissed off.

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

You're opening yourself up to—

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

I think you made that popular.

I think that's like your streamers and— yeah, I mean, that's like MrBeast and like—

MrBeast made that popular.

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

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

Jim—

MrBeast?

Yeah.

Like, what do you mean?

I was shocked. I was like, oh, he thinks just like David. Like, this is really interesting.

Yeah.

He was funny. He was like into you. 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.

I was like, oh, they're a lot alike. All the YouTube references.

Yeah.

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, here comes the anxiety.

Well, this is just like, this is like, it's a question that comes out of guilt.

Yeah.

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 $10 million home?

Oh no.

No, no. I just got to go.

Here's the prompt question.

Here's the AI prompt.

What?

Here's the AI prompt.

Yeah, like, why am I questioning my life?

Like, your AI and you— your prompt is malfunctioning, right?

Oh yeah, why are you here?

Like, no, that's how I'm saying— I'm saying like, why am I in a $10 million 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—

like, we should just all be like communists, you know what I mean?

Like, yeah, like when I—

like when I— when I'm judged in the afterlife wherever I'm at. Yeah, I'm gonna be like, yeah, like I gave back, I did all this.

Like in my head I'm like, you know, positive person.

Sure.

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

And you decided to buy a sports car instead of helping Sally and her family. Well, you know, Sally and her family, but like you should have went out there and looked for them, Dave.

You think there's Judgment Day coming for you?

I'm just wondering like what's the there's like a—

what are you supposed to do?

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, or 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? 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?

I think I'm going crazy.

Is it enough for you? That's all that matters. Is it enough for you? Do you think you can be doing more? Do you want to sell your sports car?

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

Okay, that's my—

how about your other car?

I really like that one.

What about the other one?

The Aston?

Jay, come on.

You know what I mean?

Your mom car.

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

Well, there was a famous director who directed Ace Ace Ventura, and Tom Shadyac 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 it.

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 set. Like, they— I just think that's such an interesting thing where like, 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 like they just get to like go ham. They don't You don't have to start from the bottom and work. Some people just have something set.

It's a good point. You're going to have something for your kids, which is nice.

Automatically.

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

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

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

But wait, why, Jay?

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

But that's just— but dude, if I was a kid, if I'm now, or if I was a kid, that would fuel the fuck out of me. I would be like—

Those kids aren't in Jon Vinny's. That's what I'm saying.

What do you mean aren't in Jon Vinny's?

The rich kids are there.

You're not rich.

Wait, wait, wait. What are you saying?

You're saying—

I'm saying if I saw—

if I was walking by on the street of Beverly Hills and I saw those two kids—

Oh, you're walking by.

Okay.

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 Vinny's house.

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

No, no, no, hold on.

The fucking dumbest thing I've ever done.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

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

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

Oh, okay, sorry, in that way.

Yeah, they should wait. They should wait until they're making their own money and they can go to John Vinny's, the nice restaurant. Sorry, I get it. Charlie will do it too. I'll see like a charge on my phone. She'll be at John Vinny's. I'll be like, what the fuck are you doing at John Vinny's?

I don't go to John Vinny's.

You have like a weird thing against John Vinny's. Why are you— great, great pasta. Nothing against John Vinny's. But yeah, it's one of those restaurants that's expensive.

And anyways, sorry, I sidetracked you.

No, no, no, no, that makes sense. I guess I don't know. But David, you listen, you are a good person. I mean, 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 Postmates lady, I was like, oh, Oh, it's another one of Dave's friends.

I didn't think anything of it. Well, that's actually— so that's great. Well, that's why I've always wanted to do this. I always wanted to get this house. I always wanted to 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 because that's like— no one's going to say that about you when you get to heaven.

No, I know.

But I'm just saying, you know what I mean?

But I'm just saying, like, I'm not even speaking on— you're next to Hitler.

Me?

Hey, wait a minute, man. I opened up the whole pickleball court. I let Jay come work out whenever he wanted. I gave Jason $6,000 for his pilot.

Come on, man. That was a dumb financial move, Dave. No, but I'm saying, I'm even going deeper than that. I'm not even saying my own guilt necessarily. I'm saying everyone that comes through this house is privileged one way or another than other people in the world.

Oh, man.

I'm not going to— I can't wait till you start telling everybody that in a couple of years.

You know, we're all privileged.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm just having a conversation because we're on a pod. But people do turn that way when they get older.

They do turn that way sometimes.

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, I see. Like, we should be helping communists.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't want to—

I don't want to— You want to go communist?

I don't want to sound preachery here, and like— No, it's, it's an interesting topic. John, what do you What do you think?

Jon's like, please don't move.

I like it here.

Yeah, what do you think, Jon? I like seeing Lacey Donaderwan.

Guys, when Jon doesn't say anything, it's because he's thinking. I mean, this is interesting. I mean, 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? Yeah, like somebody that has like a $100 million yacht.

Yeah, like that's what I'm saying, an extra zero. I also, at the same time I'm thinking like this, if someone has a $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 like, kill this person.

You know, you're the person that's trying to get out there. Yeah, I'm like, invite me and my 3 friends come to your yacht.

Invite me for one fun night and then we gotta shut the shit down. What's somebody who, like a rich person you've come across that you were like, oh damn, like this is it? Like they're too rich? 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.

Oh, we We have that guy. We have a guy who worked on 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. I'm in Sherman Oaks. And he goes, okay, well, the fires are moving that way. If you need a place, we have another place in Calabasas.

Wow.

So I thought that was crazy. Your house just burned down. Yeah, I know you're very wealthy, but that's still— that was like, so that was like, holy fuck, he's offering me his fourth or fifth house here while I'm like really far—

not really far, pretty far from the fires.

That guy's getting into heaven. 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—

does he have something that you were like, wow, Is it like a house or helicopter? You're like, Jay has everything. 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. But 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 him, it's like something comes on the auction block, it's $4.8 million.

It's like, it's art. 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, you know.

What do you get at the dollar store? Did we ever, would we ever spend money on anything crazy as kids? Like, John, what's like the thing that we would splurge on?

Wendy's, bro. I know, I know. Wendy's is— you guys would like save up all year for a TV on Black Friday.

That was like, if I could like think of something—

that was work, brother.

We were reselling those TVs. Yeah, we were reselling printers. Yeah, we were reselling whatever. That was really funny. So 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 combo.

How would you resell it?

On Craigslist?

Yeah, anywhere.

The TVs were so cheap.

TV's $99, you resell it for $200.

Yeah, you buy it for $200 and you wait in line overnight.

Yeah, yeah, you wait in a tent.

Cold? Freezing. So cold.

Bring my tent. Chicago, it's freezing.

And then that rush when the doors open, is it a rush? It was maybe one year. One year, yeah. Until they put an end to it and 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, it's like Walmart.

Oh my God, Walmart was like a—

dying.

Yeah, well, Well, yeah, people are getting trampled.

Yeah, we're there. Oh, sorry, sorry, I was laughing. 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.

Damn, imagine dying over a flight.

And I remember too, like, they kept pushing back because like, whoever kept pushing back the hours.

Yeah, that was fucking whack. Like, they would start at like 7 PM 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 5 AM. Yes. So after Thanksgiving dinner, you would go, you'd pitch up your tent at like 7 PM, probably. Yeah, 7, 8 PM.

7, 8 PM.

You'd start there, you'd wait till it opens at 5 AM, but then it got to where the stores were just open throughout the entire night. Oh, so it was just like no one lined up 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. Yeah. And this guy comes, he's also like a younger guy, comes selling coffee to everybody from the Dunkin' Donuts across the street.

So everyone in line and we're just like, fuck, because it was good.

People were buying it.

Of course.

Yeah, you're in that line for 8, 9 hours.

It's like 30 It's like water freezes. Oh, damn.

Yeah, no, it's freezing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not fun. He probably made the same that you made on the TV though.

Yeah, 100%. Yeah, but his was like, he wasn't out there fucking freezing his ass off.

Right.

But it was also nice, not nice, but it was also funny to have people drive by and take videos of you like you were some caged animal. 'Cause it's pretty pathetic that you're standing outside a store. Yeah. My parents thought it was the stupidest thing. My parents were like, you're a fucking idiot for doing that. I'm like, what? Making 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 they roll up the window and they laugh. It's like, I get it, I get it.

But, but there was such a thrill about it that like just made the sport so fun. Did you hear, did you hear Alex Hormozi made $84 million in one day? I did hear that.

What?

Absolutely incredible.

Yeah.

Wait, who is that? You'd like this, Dave. This reminded me of you.

It's, he's, uh, he's like a motivational kind of— Yeah, he's an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneur.

And he's, he sells essentially like programs about how —have a successful business, how to take your business from $100 to— wait, like stocks?

No, like a masterclass.

No, masterclass on what? Just like life, how to get leads, how to, you know, build a business, how to make your business from like 0x to 10x. Okay. Anyways, he wrote a book called like The $100 Million Deal or something like that. He had a 9-hour livestream 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 he like packaged all these levels of value that you got. So you get like, you get an AI-trained, um, what's it, MLN, is that what it's called? Yeah. Uh, you get it, you get like courses, you get all this stuff, and he made $84 million in one day. Incredible. Wow. 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. That feels like the equivalent to like a clipper for streams. How so? Well, it feels like, like the main person person, Alex, in this situation, or like a Kai Sanak, gives you the stream, right? And then you could take stuff from it. Yes. And make your own money. Yes. That feels like the equivalent to like a physical actual transaction where like you apply in the real—

that's really sick. And he'll also sell the books back for you. So if you pay the $6,000, you can say, okay, I'll— you can just sell the books for me, and then you get the money.

Isn't that weird?

What do you mean you could sell the books for me? You could basically like— let's say it was you, uh, the books go to Natalie and Taylor, and they have a whole system where they'll sell the books themselves and then you get like a check.

You're like fronting the money. Yeah.

Huh. And it was like well received? I mean, yes, like really well received on TikTok, like glowing reviews and like 84 million in one day.

Anyways, no one should have that kind of money.

That's where you draw the line. Anyone who makes more money than me, that's where I draw the line. That is disgusting. Um, yeah, damn, that's really sick. Congrats to to him.

That's not even motivating.

That's just like—

it is motivating a little. I mean, oh, you could figure it out.

It's not motivating.

I know why you say that, because it's like, I could never fucking do that.

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, right? It's the biggest house in LA, and like, oh, and like done so beautifully. Like, finishes, the activities there, basically there's an infinity pool that pool that 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 like a little boat that takes you from one end of the house to the next. Under the pool, there's an 8-hole mini putt golf course. There's pickleball, there's padel. Currently, there's— there's new build. New build. Brand new build. And never will there be a house this big again in 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.

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.

It's crazy to build one house. What's the price? Well, it's already sold.

I don't know how much it's going to cost.

I mean, he just built it himself.

He built it himself for himself. He bought like 4 plots of land, demolished the homes and built his monster in a really, really beautiful spot. And for the vlog—

huh, you filming for the vlog? It's not done. It's not done, but I'm going to go try to film in 2 months when it's done. It's fucking stunning. That's great. Um, 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 4 or 5 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.

But is he happy, David?

I don't think it matters at this point. I'm just kidding.

No, I know. I wanted you to be like, fuck yeah.

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, oh, I couldn't relate to any of it. Like, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 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 that would have demotivated me as a kid.

Lunch at John and Vinny's where I'm seeing 15-year-olds eat lunch at John and Vinny's, that's attainable. I'm motivated by that. But if I see a fucking superyacht or this house, there's no way as a kid I'd be able to— I'd be like, what?

Yeah, I don't, I don't think anybody can process like that. I don't think anybody that actually like attains that sort of wealth starts off being like, oh, I'm going to be a billionaire or whatever it is. I think a lot of people do. 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.

John, you hit the Powerball tonight.

What do you do?

Um, I buy a bigger house for all of us to live in.

Would you actually do that for us? You would do that? There's no fucking way, John. I know what you would do.

You go buy a fucking cabin on the lake and you'd leave and you'd fish every day. Wait a minute, is that true? Is that what you want to do?

You want to go fish in a cabin? I love fishing. I haven't fished yet. That's fun.

During work hours, I haven't had time.

You've been busy.

Yes, I've been doing it, but it will happen.

Dave's really a real slave driver, huh?

Yeah, I saw you sit on the couch for 2 and a half hours today with me. Yeah, I think he has to adjust to what working here is like. Yeah, well, are you giving him stuff to do late at night? Now he's gonna have a talk with him tonight. About what actual work needs to be done.

I feel like I've been doing it already.

What did you do today?

What'd you accomplish? Oh, today?

No, I was doing for Zilla.

Oh, for Zilla. Okay. That's your business. You own that business. 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 6 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? Okay. And 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. Um, 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 Turtletail and goes, "Tay, does this mean we're off the hook?" And Taylor goes, "Jon, we're never off the hook." I love when Taylor's funny. Yeah, so— Wait, did you hear that, real quick, the new Timothée Chalamet movie about ping pong, which is awesome. Love, love, love Timothée Chalamet.

Very excited for anything he does. Kevin O'Leary is in the movie. Yeah, I saw that. Isn't that odd?

But he's playing like a businessman. Like he's playing like Kevin O'Leary. The guy from Shark Tank. In the A24 movie. It's odd.

Like, there's a lot of actors out there, bro.

It's A24, what are you talking about? Dave, you don't think that that's odd that he cast Kevin O'Leary, who's not an actor, in a Timothée Chalamet movie?

A24 is literally— A24 had Josh Richards in their movie.

That's like in the Nicolas Cage movie. Josh Richards is a young kid who's like trying to act. Like, that makes sense.

Maybe Kevin's trying to like— maybe, maybe I told him. Damn, someone has a bone to pick with Kevin O'Leary.

I hope poor Kevin O'Leary is not listening to this.

I like Kevin O'Leary, I think he's great. But I was watching, I was like, oh damn, Shallow makes me fucking sick.

And then I was like, Shark Tank pulled me right out of it. Yeah.

Oh, that seems like so normal to me. 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. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're so well known for something else.

But at the same time, it's like he is kind of like leaning into his own character in real life. And then you got to think too, like, it's probably— it's got to be great if he— if they're doing it.

Oh, Timothée Chalamet, it's probably a great performance. 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, it's her husband that also dies or something.

I don't know. Anyway, she's in like this like, um, 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 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 gonna 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.

Like, that's like Naveen porn.

I love that.

Yeah, like, that's crazy.

That sounds like a good movie. Yeah, but how does that actually work?

Yeah, that like stresses me out to the fucking max. Think about, think about the two loves of your life, and now you have to choose if you had to.

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— I don't think we're going to be humans. I think it's going to be like your soul is going to take a different shape or form.

I don't know if you'll be like— I always think about that. Like, if Natalie married somebody and he died, and then, I don't know, 10 years later she marries somebody else, like, are you like always kind of thinking about the dead person? Do you like the second person better than the first person? Person.

Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, you don't know. And then exactly like when you die, like, if I'm on my deathbed with Natalie— yeah— and her ex-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— nice— my last thought is, I hope she chooses me in about 5 minutes when we die. Like, in 5 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, right? 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 Richard, right?

He died 30 years ago. You'd be fine. You'd figure it out. 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, we have a podcast, The Heavyweights Podcast.

Zealot Heavyweights Podcast. Yes.
