David Wants to Go to Another Dimension
If you're a longtime listener, well, at least the last 2-week listener, you'll know that I was in a big paddle tournament here in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, Sherman Oaks. Um, it didn't go so well. I lost. Yep. Um, the first day went incredible. I won 3 matches. Okay. Um, and the second day, which just happened an hour ago, yeah, I took Jason with me. Yeah, I took John with me. John has been with me through this entire time. This is what I want to get into. This is why I'm bringing all this up. So it cost $1,200 to enter the tournament. And if you win the tournament, you win $6,000. If you get to the semis, you win your money back and so forth. Right. Okay. So I was like, John, I already paid the $1,200, but if you want to Venmo me, I'll, I'll get you in. Like, if you give me $200, then you'll 6x your money, whatever. The same way I would, right? Like, you can buy equity in my stake. Sponsoring. So John was like kind of 50-50. And then the first day comes around. I haven't played padel in months. So he was kind of like, I don't know, Dave. I don't know. Then he gets to the first— Why are you making me sound like that? He gets to the first day and I'm about to play my match. I'm like, John, you got to let me know right now. Are you putting money in or not? And he's like, I don't know. Then he watches me play my first match and we win. And then he's still kind of, I don't know. And then midway through the second match, apparently that's when he makes his decision. He's like, okay Dave, I'm gonna bet $200. And then at the end of all 3 matches on my first day, all of a sudden Taylor's now putting money, Mike's putting money. Well, now I'm, now I'm only one match away from winning money back. So I'm like, John, this isn't gambling. Like you just waited for when the odds were completely different and put money in. Well, and then yesterday John's entire mood changes. He's like, Dave, you win this whole fucking tournament. It's obvious now. I saw you play, and now he's got something riding on it.
